Chapter 15: The Morning After

Vicki was the first to wake up, it was dawn, and the sky was just barely lit. She took in a long breath and sighed. She twisted her body to look around at her surroundings and found it difficult to move. She looked down to see why and found a slumbering Gohan still curled up on her chest. Memories from last night came flooding back to her, she didn't know whether or not she should get up and flee or to just lay there and enjoy his company. She had done something wrong, but it felt so right. One part of her was telling her that he was her student and that she shouldn't have done that while another part of her was humming softly while twirling her hair in contentment. She felt too good right now, so she went with the happy one's advice and just relaxed. She was feeling good until she felt this dull pain throbbing from between her legs. The consequences of love she figured then she started to look around. Her gaze ended up on the sleeping demi-saiyan, he was beautiful, there was no doubt in her mind that she loved him or that he loved her but she still hadn't told him, and she feared that his love for her might not be strong enough to withstand such a truth.

Gohan murmured something and twitched before he quieted down again, he had the cutest smile on his face, she loved pleasing him, and she felt like she had. She started to comb his hair with her fingers and rub his back from over the green cloth. He did not wake, but he did snuggle up closer to her, Vicki smiled and began to sing softly.

"If you see me walkin down the street, starrin at the sky and draggin my two feet, you just pass me by it still makes, me cry but you can make me whole again."

Gohan was having a wonderful dream he was in a beautiful field on a hazy spring day, his head resting on a person's lap but yet he couldn't place the person, they were only silhouettes and there were two overtop each other, one larger one towering over him, and a smaller softer one. They were stroking his hair and singing something, he couldn't quite make out the words but the melody was enchanting as cheery blossoms flew all around them.

"And if you see me with another man, laughing and joking, doing what I can, I won't put you down cos I want you around, you can make me whole again."

Gohan mumbled something incoherently, muffled by her chest and lost in the wind. Vicki watched his peaceful features for signs of waking but found none so she continued.

"Looking back on when we first met, I cannot escape it I cannot forget, baby you're the one, you still turn me on ,you can make me whole again."

Gohan was now in his old training grounds, in his old gi that resembled Piccolo's and the two figures were standing on either side of him.

"Time is laying heavy on my heart, seems I've got too much of it, since we've been apart, my friends make me smile, if only for a while, but you can make me whole again."

Gohan was confused, the characters were just standing there still in shadow. Then all of a sudden they turned and started to walk away from him leaving him behind.

"Looking back on when we first met, I cannot escape it I cannot forget it, baby you're the one, you still turn me on, you can make me whole again."

Gohan's face was now scrunched up in a look of confusion and worry, he was kicking lightly. Vicki was concerned but found that whenever she sang he seemed to quiet down.

"For now I'll have to wait, but baby if you change your mind, don't be too late, cos I just can't go on, its already been too long but you can make me whole again."

Gohan didn't know which one to go after, the taller, stronger one ,or the smaller one. He took a step towards the smaller one and found the taller one quickened their pace, he didn't want that to happen so he stayed put, trying to think of a way to bring them back.

"Looking back on when we first met, I cannot escape it ,I cannot forget, baby you're the one you still turn me on, you can make me whole again."

Gohan was running out of time, then he heard the song again, it was being sung by a beautiful female voice. The background of his dream had disappeared along with the figures, there was blackness all around, and a light at one end. He heard the voice get stronger as he made his way to the light, so he quickened his pace. He was just about to be bathed with white light when his eyes opened and he heard someone singing for real.

"Looking back on when we first met ,I cannot escape and I cannot forget, baby you're the one, you still turn me on you can make me whole again." He looked up to see Vicki singing to him softly.

"Baby you're the one, you still turn me on, you can make me..."

"...whole again." He finished.

Vicki hadn't noticed that he was awake until he finished her song. Vicki just looked down and met Gohan's intense gaze. She smiled and giggled softly while she blushed lightly. Gohan had woken up to her lovely song, and recognised it to be the same song he had caught her singing before when they were late, he liked to think of that song as 'their song.' Gohan then became aware of his surroundings, he was lying on top of Vicki's naked form covered only by part of his costume ,and they were on a beach. It was morning now, the sun had risen and Gohan began to remember what exactly had happened that night. His cheeks lit up with colour as he sifted through his memories. They had made love, he felt great. He had been able to express just how much he truly loved her. He pulled her tighter as she continued to caress his back and scrap her fingertips across his scalp lightly.

"Gohan, I think we better be getting home now. Don't you think?" She asked not really wanting to even move but knowing she had to sometime.

"Yeah ,I guess you're right." Gohan moaned, he just wanted this to last forever.

"I'm always right, you should know that by now." Vicki teased to lighten his spirits.

Gohan laughed then rolled off of her reluctantly. Both of the teens blushed and laughed from embarrassment at seeing the other completely nude. They were after all just teens. They found their clothes and put them back on.

"Hey you ripped my outfit." Gohan noticed the big tare at the back of his gi. Vicki just helped him put his green coat-thing over-top so no one would notice. The two stood up and dusted themselves off. They looked at the water for a moment before the silence was broken.

"I'll take you back home." Gohan added.

Vicki just nodded and rose into the air, Gohan followed suit and they took off towards main land.

They crept around the building where the Briefs lived, to where Vicki's window was straight above. Vicki rose and nudged the window open. She crawled inside and turned around to say good-bye, to see nothing, no one was there. /Oh /she thought/ I was going to say bye too bad he didn't stay./ she thought. Then she turned back around to collide with Gohan's hard chest. She shook her head and looked up at him puzzled.

"What's up, besides you." She asked.

Gohan just leaned down and pressed his lips against hers. She stiffened up at first not expecting it , but she loosened up quickly. Gohan wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer, while Vicki draped her arms around his neck.

After a few moments of caressing soft moans from each other they separated. Vicki sighed and rested her forehead against his collarbone and Gohan rested his chin on top of her head and sighed as well. They stood there in each others' arms for a couple more minutes then parted.

"See you tomorrow." Vicki whispered.

"Yeah, see you soon." Gohan added before he sent her the son-smile and gave her one last quick kiss on the lips before he crawled out of her window and flew off towards his house. Vicki just smiled weakly and watched him go. When he was completely out of sight she walked slowly over to her bed and flopped down, she had gotten alot of sleep but she needed more because of their recent activities. Vicki didn't bother to change or get under the covers. She just kicked off her boots, threw off her gloves and curled up into a fetal position on the bed. She was asleep shortly, and dreaming of her lover.

Gohan got home a bit later and had to crawl in through his window too, he was tired as well but just as he pulled open the sheets his mother walked in.

"Oh, you're up already."

"Yeah just making the bed." Gohan groaned while closing the covers again, he wasn't going to get any extra sleep today.

Gohan changed his clothes and went down stairs. His father was sitting at the kitchen table eating as usual, when he saw Gohan he just nodded and smiled ,then returned to stuffing his face.

"So where were you last night, when did you get in?" Chichi was being nosy again.

"He came in a half hour after we went to bed, I sensed him." Goku bailed him out.

Gohan shot him a grateful look and sat down at the table. He didn't eat he just lay his head down and soon there were quiet sleeping noises coming from him. No one woke him, he looked so peaceful, Goku just carried him up the stairs and placed him in his bed. There Gohan slept for hours.

Vicki woke up at noon and came down stairs after changing her clothes. They were eating lunch.

"Oh hi ,come join us you must be hungry." Bulma smiled and pulled a chair out for her.

"Yeah I bet, you had quite a night." Vegeta added while taking a sip of his root beer.

Vicki just sweat dropped and sat down.

"So what did you do last night?" Bulma asked.

"Oh Gohan stayed with me and we walked around the island. I got back late." Vicki smiled trying to look convincing, she must have done a good job because Bulma just nodded and went back to eating.

The day went by quickly and it was now almost bed time. It was summer holidays so Trunks and Vicki didn't have to worry about going to school.

"Now don't forget that I want you two up by at least 10:30 all right." Bulma added as Trunks and Vicki were walking up the stairs.

"Why?" Vicki asked.

"Didn't I tell you? Sorry, we're having a get-together tomorrow afternoon, everyone will be there all the z-sensei, even Gohan." Bulma explained.

Vicki's face vaulted, great now there was another time where Gohan would expect to see Piccolo and would be disappointed. She went to bed, thinking about the night before and how wonderful it was, and how wrong it was to feel that way.
