Later that night after Goten, Trunks, and Bra left #18 silently snuck up the attic stairs. She made sure not to make a sound. She finally reached the top step and walked into the room. She stopped dead in her tracks as she saw her husband sitting in front of the trunk holding his journal. #18 made a silent sigh.
She walked up to her husband knowing he knew she was there. She looked over his shoulder as she sat down beside him. "I miss the old days." Was all he said to her. #18 was a little more than taken aback by this simple statement. 'Why?' Was all she could think. 'What was so great about the past…sure we work hard now to ensure our childrens future along with the planet but back then everything was in shambles.' She thought. Krillin as always knew his wife better than anyone. "I miss the adventure…I know I wasn't a very brave guy but…I miss helping my friends. No, I miss being able to help them. Now it's just the saiyans. They can take care of themselves and us." Krillin said. He looked at #18 with a smile. "You haven't changed a bit." He said with a larger smile than before. #18 sighed and leaned on her husbands shoulder. "What are you looking at?" She asked even though she already knew. Krillin turned the book and began to read…
'Dear Journal, I am now an old man…all my dreams have come true and I couldn't ask for anything else. I'm now married to #18 and we have a beautiful little girl, Marron. When I write in this journal now I don't think about myself in the old days as being scared. I think there was so much power I could of used to help. You would think I'd have regrets but I really don't. Everything worked out for the best and my family is all that matters. I love them as they do me and that's all I could ask for. I just hope they know it in their hearts…Krillin.'
#18 looked up at her husband with tears in her eyes. "We know." She said with a smile. Krillin comforted her with a small hug. #18 being the powerful woman she was still wasn't fond of showing weakness so she of course changed the subject. "So, you find anything else interesting?" She asked. "Nope. This is it. I'm gonna go to bed now. Come down when you're ready." With that Krillin got up leaving the book and went downstairs to bed. #18 just turned and looked around the attic. She'd only been in this room when they'd begun putting things up here.
She stood up and walked over to the costume area that she had told Marron about. She began sorting through the clothes and picking an old one up once in awhile when she remembered a story behind the fabric. She moved one outfit that looked to belong to a cowgirl. She laughed despite the ugly looking thing. She remembered her brother's complaining about how long it took to find that stupid thing. The scared salesman complimenting her on her figure as so many did. She moved to put the outfit back when she saw a box hidden away in the back. She wouldn't of noticed if a corner hadn't been sticking out into the light.
#18 bent down and picked up the box. It was covered in dust more so than most of the things in the attic. "Hmm. I wonder." She said aloud. #18 moved the box out of the corner behind the clothes and opened it. Inside was a bunch of video tapes. She sat down and began reading the titles to some. Krillin and Goku. One said. She picked up another. Swimming lessons. #18 smiled. She looked around until her eyes landed on a t.v. in the corner. She stood up and walked over to it. She carried out of the rest of the junk in the same pile and found a plug. She brought the box of movies over and put one in the vcr that was connected to the t.v.
The movie began dark but soon a person, Master Roshi, was standing in the middle of the screen. He seemed to be yelling but their was no sound. #18 reached up and turned up the volume enough to hear but not so much to wake anyone. #18 sat watching movies with a smirk on her face. "I have some fun to play on Krillin tomorrow." She laughed but continued to watch.
Sorry I ended it there but more is to come! What did #18 mean by her last statement? Poor Krillin. R&R please and I'll update as soon as I can. Thanks for reading!
