An average height old man stood in the doorway of a small cottage by the sea. He had a short gray beard and hair. He wore glasses and had dark eyes.
"I think it's been long enough. Time to visit an old friend." The man spoke to his black lab who was laying on the front step.
The dog looked up at his master lovingly.
"Yes, I know you want to see him too, Soot." Soots dark eyes reflected his masters as he walked into the house.
The man shut the door and opened the capsule car. He set off onto the sea.
On an island in the middle of the sea a short, bald, ex-monk was training with a tall, beautiful blond haired woman. An old turtle hermit was watching the two as they fought.
"Don't you two think that's enough for today, Krillin?" The old man asked.
"Are you kidding? This is just our warm up Master Roshi, right #18?" Krillin asked almost punching the woman in the face.
She flew back a few steps to dodge.
#18 nodded quickly.
Master Roshi sighed.
"There's no convingcing those two anything…" Roshi mumbled to himself.
The man could see an island in the distance. As he got closer he could see two people on the beach and another he recognized as Master Roshi.
The three occupants of the island stopped what they were doing to look in the direction of the car.
"Master? Were you expecting anyone?" Krillin asked still staring at the car.
"No, I don't think so, Chi-Chi's the only one that drives here anyway. Do you watch Gohan today?" Roshi asked.
Krillin shook his head.
The old man in the car parked on the island. He opened the door and slowly got out. He turned to face the three people. When he noticed Master Roshi he smiled.
"Hello, Master." The man said politely.
At first Master Roshi looked surprised then he stood up and walked over to the man.
"Long time huh?" The man asked.
Master Roshi nodded.
"Too long." Roshi said with a glare moving across his sunglasses.
Krillin walked forward and #18 followed with her arms crossed.
"So, you two know eachother?" Krillin asked.
Master Roshi turned to him.
"Yes we do, old pupil." Roshi said.
Krillin nodded.
"Krillin, here is an old pupil of mine also." Roshi said emphasizing Krillin's name.
The man quickly looked at the young man before him.
"Why don't you and #18 go inside and eat lunch? We have some catching up to do." Roshi said smiling.
"Alright Old Man. Come on Krillin." #18 said turning away and heading inside.
Krillin stared at the man then rushed towards the house and #18.
Once the two were out of sight Roshi began.
"What are you doing here Thomas?" Roshi asked.
"Just thought I'd stop in to see you…" Thomas began.
"I know perfectly well who you came to see and it isn't me." Roshi concluded.
"Alright master. You can't deprive a man a chance to see his only son." Thomas said.
"How is he?" Thomas asked.
"He's fine. A lot's changed since you left him at the temple." Roshi spoke with venom.
"I didn't leave him at the temple. It was the best thing for him. I didn't know he was going to run away." Thomas said.
"You're right about one thing, it was the best thing for him. He probably never would have come here if he hadn't been bullied around by those boys." Roshi said a little more politely.
"Please Master, I just want to know how he is. What's happened to him in the many years? He's a grown man now. I've missed his childhood to adulthood don't let me die without knowing who he became." Thomas said sadly.
"That would kill him and ruin his self esteem that took many many years to regain." Roshi said to him.
Thomas patiently waited.
"Then let me at least hear about how he grew up." Thomas said.
Before Roshi could comment Krillin poked his head out the doorway.
"You want any?" He asked the two older men.
Thomas looked at his son then Roshi.
"Come inside we'll talk." Roshi said.
They walked to the house and inside. #18 was cooking at the stove and Krillin was sitting at the table. They seemed to be having a conversation.
"I don't want to go." #18 said flatly.
"Alright. We won't go." Krillin said disappointedly.
#18 looked at him and smiled.
"Your still pretty cute when you blush Krillin." #18 said with a smirk and a monotone voice as he blushed beet red.
Roshi cleared his throut.
#18 sighed angrily.
"Something wrong old man?" She said turning and glaring at Master Roshi.
Thomas looked confused.
"I don't mean to be rude, I'm Thomas." He began.
"#18." #18 said looking at the man expressionlessly.
"Nice to meet you… #18?" Thomas said looking at Krillin.
He was smiling at #18.
Roshi lead Thomas into the living room.
"Is Krillin seeing her? She seems awfully rude." Thomas asked looking at the doorway to the kitchen.
"That's just how she is. She's a little bit odd you could say." Roshi said.
"So, you going to tell him who you really are or will I?" Roshi asked.
"I thought you said…?" Thomas asked.
"He has a right to know his father before he passes on." Roshi said.
"Krillin would you come in here please?" Roshi asked.
"Sure, what do you need master?" Krillin asked.
"Sit down." Roshi said flatly.
Krillin looked confused but sat anyway.
"Krillin Thomas here has something to tell you. It won't be easy but I think you should here it." Krillin looked at Thomas.
Thomas sat down in front of Krillin and sighed.
"Krillin, I… I'm your father." Krillin stared at the man before him.
He didn't blink or move. He stood up and laughed.
Thomas looked worried.
Roshi looked shocked.
Krillin just kept laughing and walked out the door outside.
Roshi and Thomas ran out after him.
"Krillin?" Roshi asked.
Krillin turned around towards him and he looked sad. He had tears pouring down his cheeks. He shook his head and looked angry.
"No, my father died a long time ago!" Krillin gradually got louder until he was screaming.
#18 ran out and Krillin was glaring at Thomas.
"Krillin?" #18 asked softly.
Krillin looked at her and his expression changed. He looked sad instead of angry.
Sooner than any of them could yell out "Krillin!" he was gone.
What do you think? What will happen? R&R please! Thank you! I'll update soon! I promise!
