Alright, you know the drill, Last time on Never Around When I Need You!…
Krillin covered his face with his hands.
"This is so embarrassing." He thought.
"Especially since it was all a dream." He groaned which caught Bulma's attention but she didn't look back at him.
"Is this all guys think about? I swear." She asked.
Krillin didn't answer.
Now on to the fic!…Just after Bulma spoke the tape went dead. That was all.
"What?" Bulma asked.
"You mean there's nothing else?" She turned to Krillin.
"That's all that I dreamed." He answered.
"Thomas said he was my father and then I flew off. I thought I had come home and found #18 but that was a dream." Krillin finished.
"But, but, that's not supposed to happen. Your mind should replay everything in your life. Damn." Bulma finished turning it off.
"Now we'll never know what happened." She sighed.
Krillin shrugged also quite disappointed.
"Although," Bulma began.
"What?" Krillin asked.
Bulma smiled and ran out the door.
She came back in a few moments later with #18.
Now Krillin was getting worried.
"Bulma?" Krillin asked.
"What happened before you brought Krillin in #18?" Bulma asked.
"I…" #18 trailed off.
"You didn't find him in the woods did you #18?" Bulma asked.
#18 nodded.
"You're right. Now, why is this so important?" #18 asked.
"Yeah, and what are you getting at?" Krillin asked.
Bulma smiled proudly.
"What I'm saying is that you might only remember your last memory before you fell into your coma." Bulma said excitedly.
#18 and Krillin looked confused.
"Yeah, but that was all a dream, we never saw what happened." Krillin began.
"Yes we did. You and #18 sleeping together was the last thing that happened before you fell asleep." Bulma said.
Krillin looked shocked.
"Kami, why'd she have to say that in front of #18?" He thought.
#18 was blushing.
"So what if that was the last thing that happened. I wasn't going to say that Krillin and I were getting it on before he fell asleep and I couldn't get him up." #18 said.
Krillin looked at her in shock.
"You mean that wasn't another one of my dreams?" Krillin asked.
#18 smiled.
"It's nice to know you dream about me often Krillin but it was real. You came back later that night." #18 finished.
"Now the mystery is solved." Bulma said triumphantly.
"Not so fast, how'd I get in a coma? Did you hit me or something #18?" Krillin asked.
#18 hmphed.
"I don't know you shut your eyes and I fell asleep. When I woke up the old man came in wondering why you weren't home yet and caught on quick. So, I got dressed and tried waking you up. When you didn't come to I got you dressed and brought you here." #18 finished.
Krillin took a moment for it all to sink in.
"Oh." He looked at Bulma.
"Thanks for your help Bulma." Krillin said blushing.
#18 smiled and blushed also.
All three went out to the waiting room where everyone was.
"You guys haven't left yet?" Krillin asked.
"Nope. Just making sure you're alright. You know what happened before you knocked out?" Yamcha asked.
"Yeah. I do." Krillin said.
Everyone was waiting for an answer.
"For kami sake guys what do most men do at night when they live with a woman?" Bulma asked.
All the men looked confused.
The women on the other hand…
"Oh…" They all said looking at #18.
She and Krillin were beet red.
"I don't get it?" Yamcha said.
The men were still confused but the women rolled their eyes.
"Congratulations guys." Bulma said still trying to get the point across.
Yamcha looked like a deer in headlights.
"Krillin! #18! You're sleeping together?!" Yamcha yelled.
Krillin and #18 continued to blush.
"Will you shut up Yamcha." Krillin said in a low voice.
"Hey it's nothing to be ashamed of. She's hott." Yamcha whispered.
#18 heard though and hit Yamcha.
"Come on Krillin." She said as she opened the door to leave.
"Wait guys, I need to do more tests on Krillin to make sure this doesn't happen again so be back tomorrow will you?" Bulma asked.
Krillin nodded.
"Thanks Bulma." Krillin said.
#18 nodded.
They left. When they walked outside Thomas was standing there with Master Roshi.
Krillin stopped dead in his tracks.
Thomas looked up at his son. He smiled nervously. Krillin just continued to stare at him.
"You haven't left yet?" Krillin asked finally continuing to walk away.
"No, I wanted…to see how you were…" Thomas said in a low voice.
Krillin stopped and turned back to him.
"Well, I'm fine, as you can see." With that Krillin flew into the air followed by #18.
Thomas hung his head.
Once he realized his son just FLEW off he lifted his head in amazement.
"Wha…?" He asked.
"There's a lot you missed." Master Roshi said getting into the car.
Thomas got in on the passanger side as they began to drive back to Kami House.
"Master, please. I know I walked out. I know it was wrong but please…please, you're the only one who can tell me." Thomas said turning his head to Roshi.
Master Roshi sighed.
"I can't tell you. Ask Krillin…" Master Roshi began.
"You saw him. He hates me!" Thomas said throwing his arms in the air with a sigh.
"He doesn't hate you. Krillin doesn't have a hateful bone in his body. He just…he doesn't know how to deal with you yet." Master Roshi explained.
Thomas sighed thoughtfully.
Meanwhile, Krillin and #18 were getting closer to home.
"Krillin!" #18 yelled.
Krillin turned his head and smiled at her.
#18 smiled back. She knew he wasn't really happy but she smiled anyway.
They landed on the island.
"Want a sandwhich?" Krillin asked.
"Why won't you talk to him?" #18 asked.
"Talk to who?" Krillin asked avoidingly.
"You know very well who I'm talking about." #18 said.
Krillin smiled.
"You sure you don't want a sandwhich? It'll only take a second." Krillin said running inside.
#18 ran after him and found him in the kitchen getting the ingredients.
"Krillin, you can't keep running away from this." #18 said leaning on the doorframe.
"It'll eat at you if you do…trust me." #18 said in a low voice.
"I'm not running….You want pickles?" Krillin asked.
"Ok, maybe not running but you certainly aren't facing your dad." #18 continued.
Krillin slammed down the pickles and #18 just stood waiting for his reaction.
"You don't understand #18." Krillin said walking towards the door.
#18 just looked at him without moving.
"I don't remember my life, you do and I don't think it's right to let it slip away just because he left…" #18 began.
"Are you not listening to yourself?!" Krillin yelled angrily.
"I WANT to forget! I WANT to move on! You know what? He DID leave! He didn't care! So why should I!?" Krillin asked angrily.
#18 stood firmly in her spot.
"Because he's your father and you know as well as I do that you couldn't be uncaring if your life depended on it." #18 said as kindly as possible.
Krillin sighed.
"What do you want me to do #18? Huh? What?" Krillin asked sincerely with tears in his eyes.
"What…" Krillin began to cry.
"What do you want me to do?" Krillin asked after regaining himself.
#18 frowned and wrapped her arms around him. Krillin cried on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry." #18 whispered.
"I love you." Krillin cried wrapping his arms around her.
"I love you too." She replied.
Master Roshi landed on the island and he and Thomas got out of the car. Thomas walked up to the door and walked inside followed by Master Roshi.
By now #18 had started dinner and Krillin was sitting in the living room.
Thomas walked into the living room and Master Roshi brought #18 outside.
"Can I have a seat?" Thomas asked politely.
"Sure." Krillin mumbled as Thomas sat on a chair next to the couch.
"Listen, I know there is probably no way you would ever consider forgiving me and I don't think you should. What I did was wrong and I know that. I just…I wanted to see you grown up, see the man you've become before I die. I know you're probably thinking I could of seen you grow up into a man if I had tried. The truth is I was afraid. I know it's not an excuse, but I need you to know that I love you. You've turned out to be a strong young man that you probably wouldn't of turned out to be without Master Roshi's care. I owe him a lot and I…I just wanted you to know." Thomas finished and stood up.
"Wait." Krillin said looking up at his father.
Thomas turned back to Krillin.
"Yes?" Thomas asked.
"I won't be able to forgive you and I don't consider you my father but, if you still want to know about me, then I'm willing to tell you." Krillin finished.
Thomas smiled. He nodded and sat back down.
#18 was looking in the window seeing Krillin and his father talking and smiled. She flew up to the roof and sat watching the waves splash on the sand.
Master Roshi looked up at #18 and sighed.
"So much for this place being a bachelor establishment." Master Roshi sighed with a small hint of a laugh.
