Last time on Blushing…"Wait #18?" Marlaina called.
"Yes?" #18 asked.
"I want you to know that Krillin won't remember any of your conversation today. The medication he's taking for this sickness makes him forget everything he says or was told. He won't even know you stopped by." Marlaina said.
#18 nodded.
"Thanks for coming. Come back tomorrow I think he'll be better." Marlaina said with a smile.
#18 smiled also.
"I will." She said walking out the door.
Now on Blushing…
The next day was the same Krillin was sick at home and #18 went to visit him. He still had to take the medicine for his condition. He still liked having #18 around though. She went up to his room on Thursday. Saturday was the Prom and she was hoping Krillin was doing better. She walked into his room and saw him sitting up irritated. He saw #18 and smiled.
"Hey babe." He said as she sat down in the chair next to his bed.
"How are you feeling today?" #18 asked with slight worry in her voice.
Krillin frowned.
"I'm not going to be able to go to prom am I?" Krillin asked.
"You still have a few days so probably you will." #18 said as convincing as she could.
Krillin smiled.
"If I can't you should still go. I wouldn't want to ruin your night too." Krillin said.
"But it wouldn't be any fun without you." #18 said.
Krillin smiled with a small blush.
"Thanks." He said shyly.
"So, how's school?" He asked.
"Boring as usual." #18 said.
She decided not to tell Krillin about Tommy trying to hang all over her. Even after her threats. Krillin would be furious and he needed rest.
"How's home life?" #18 laughed.
"Boring until you come. I feel like I've been locked up for days." Krillin said.
"You have…except for the locked up part." #18 said.
Krillin laughed.
"I want to leave. My room is boring. It isn't even clean. You know I can't stand a dirty bedroom when there's someone I like here." Krillin rambled.
"I'm glad you like me." #18 said.
"Yeah, it's probably a burden to you." Krillin replied.
"Why? Because I like you?" #18 asked.
Krillin smiled.
"Really?" He asked.
"Is it so hard to believe? That I could actually be attracted to you other than friendship?" #18 asked.
Krillin smiled.
"Sort of." He said.
#18 smiled. She kissed him on the forehead and left the room.
"See you tomorrow." She said.
"Yeah." He layed down and fell asleep.
"Krillin." He heard his name being called.
"Krillin?" There it was again.
"Huh? What what happened?" He asked.
"It's time for school." Marlaina said as he sat up.
"What? Aren't I sick?" Krillin asked.
Marlaina felt his forehead.
"No." She said with an amused smile.
"Come on, #18's waiting downstairs." His mother said.
"What day is it?" Krillin asked.
"Tuesday come on you have to eat so hurry up." She said leaving the room.
"Tuesday?" Krillin asked.
He got up and got dressed. He ran downstairs as quick as he could. Sure enough there was #18 in the livingroom talking to his mother. Krillin waited confused. He thought he'd listen to their conversation.
"He thought what?" #18 asked with a smile.
"I don't know but he was talking in his sleep. About you." Marlaina said.
Krillin bit his bottom lip and had a distressed look on his face.
'Man mom.' He thought still listening.
"I still tell him you two would make a great couple." Marlaina hinted.
"Well, we're better friends." #18 said.
Krillin sat on the steps heartbroken.
"You know all couples start out as friends." Marlaina pointed out.
#18 laughed.
"Thanks Marlaina." #18 laughed.
"I've heard too many things that I want to make my own decision. You understand right?" #18 asked.
Marlaina smiled.
"Of course, no woman should be forced into a relationship she doesn't want…" Marlaina began.
"Don't get me wrong, I…" #18 trailed off.
"I know you love him. I just don't know why you're apart?" Marlaina tilted her head in curiousity.
"Bad timing I suppose." #18 said in a whisper.
Marlaina smiled.
Krillin took that as his hint to come out from hiding.
"Ready." He said as though he'd just made it down the stairs.
#18 looked up and smiled.
"About time." She said.
Krillin smiled.
"Come on babe. Don't want to be late." He teased.
"By you two." Krillin's mother called.
"Bye mom!" Krillin called walking out the door.
Don't forget to review please! Thanks!
