A LOVE LIKE NO OTHER

Chapter 04: Goodbye planet Vegeta !

It has been one week since we all found out what happened to our planet and why or rather who destroyed it. Even though my parents were killed in the destruction, I was not angry with Stephan or should I now start calling him King Vegeta.

Actually we are now all preparing for our trip... I hope I will find my Uncle... somewhere in this universe.

We were all given tough instructions on what to take, and what not to take.

Sandy was helping Doctor Jeremy organize all the medicines and bandages. The two of them had even gone outside and gathered as many bottles, plasters, cloth, surgery utensils... as they could.

Mike and Tony were in charge of collecting as many weapons as they could... we did not know how long we were going to be in the battleship and whom we were bound to approach... so all this was necessary.

John had to make sure he had enough spare parts to repair any part of the ship... Ben and Frank were helping him out.

Allan was of course in charge of getting the food and enough water which was a real tough chore. I was trying to help him but I soon realized I had quite a lot to do on my side.

I was in charge of getting rid of the unnecessary personal belongings... and believe me... that's probably the worst task that was given out as I was constantly battling with the others as they all wanted to take everything possible.

Everything seems in order now that we had gathered everything into the battleship. I was amazed to see that the royal family had kept an underground tunnel. It was a pure result of high advanced technology that was standing in front of my eyes... lovely.

Then I saw him finally coming toward us after one whole week... The man whom I admire a lot a love... King Vegeta. He was wearing a black outfit which made him look stunning. I saw Sandy gazing at him and I did not like it at all... however, I remained silent.

-"We will now go to the planet earth and find the Sayains living there" he started and then added "then we will go and fight Frieza and his men."

We all nodded.

-"Now lets board" he said and we all followed him into the spaceship.

King Vegeta was of course in charge of the whole ship and wanted all of us to keep calling him Captain Stephen... in which we complied.

John was the second in charge and in charge of mechanics.

Ben and Frank were in charge of the radars and looking out for intruders.

Tony was in charge of the navigation of the battleship.

Alan was in charge of the kitchen.

Mike was constantly checking out the weapons and the missiles on board.

Doctor Jeremy was in charge of keeping an emergency room for patients and was helped by Sandy.

As for myself, I was just helping out whoever needed me I was very frustrated on this post because I had no responsibility whatsoever. Quite often, at night I would cry silently because of this.

Three days later...

He had asked to see me in his cabin ... and I could not figure out why. When I knocked on his door and after a few seconds he opened his door and handed me a large book. I was puzzled.

-"You will be in charge of keeping the diary of our journey," he said bluntly and went back inside closing the door on me.

I was in charge of keeping the journal ... I was thrilled and I quickly went to my cabin in order to start my task. As I opened the book, I realized that the Captain had started already.

"Thursday, May 22nd 2040: We are finally starting on our journey toward the planet Earth in order to locate the Sayains who volunteered to go there. I have assigned everyone a task. Hopefully we will make it there in about a month time. All have accepted to help me out in fight with Frieza. We left on our scheduled time at 3:00 P.M. and our journey seems to be smooth as for now. The crew members are fine except for the following who are snapping at each other Sandy and Pan, Ben and Tony.
Food: Our dinner consisted of boiled potatoes and a steak."

"Friday, May 23rd 2040: A minor incident on button number 2 which was repaired instantly by John.
Food: Breakfast: omelet; Lunch: Mixed vegetables and rice; Dinner: Fish and chips."

"Saturday, May 24th 2040: Nothing to report here as our journey is going fine. Jeremy informed me that Pan was depressed because of she was not having any responsibilities on this ship. Therefore, she is now in charge of writing this diary from now on.
Food: Breakfast: beacon and eggs; Lunch: Caesar Salad and fruits; Dinner: Lasagna."

I was hurt to notice that it was Doctor Jeremy who told him about me not having responsibilities... However I was not going to cry and I had to continue this journal. For the days that were to come and go... I was now relating them as objectively as possible... However, when no one was looking at it and no one seemed to be bothered with it... it was progressively becoming like my own personal diary. I was now hiding it whenever I finished writing... and I was convinced that this task was given to me just to settle me.

A month later...

I was now on my own quite a lot and content with the situation. I loved writing and it seems that I spend full days in doing so. However today I decided to read carefully whatever I wrote. I was surprised to see how much I have written... and I also noticed that I was expressing my feelings quite a lot. For some reason I panicked what if anyone sees this diary? What if the Captain reads it? Indeed last week I had written my feelings about the Captain... what a foolish thing I'd done.

For my misfortune, this very moment, the captain called for me (the battleship was equipped with intercoms and all) and asked me to bring the journal.

I had no solution whatsoever and without a second thought tore the one page that would have betrayed my feelings for him and hid it inside my favorite book...

A few minutes later...

- "Thank you Pan" he told me as the Captain took the book from my trembling hands.

He turned back and started to read whatever I wrote. I was about to leave when he stopped me.

-"Why is a page missing?" he asked me.

-"A page..." I repeated stupidly.

-"Yes, where is it?" he insisted.

-"I ... it was not well written... so I..." I was trying to come up with some excuse.

-"Do you realize that it's a whole day that's missing?" he continued.

I was not looking at him.

-"I want you to get that page back"

-"But I threw it away" I lied.

-"I guess I will be handling the journal from now on," he said before adding "you may leave."

I ran out of his room and into my room. I took my book from my shelf and carefully took the torn page out. I read it again and again.

"Saturday, June 21st 2040: The days are getting longer and longer as we've now managed to leave planet Jupiter and its awful inhabitants. Hopefully in a week's time we should be on earth. I just can't take it anymore, I feel like confessing my love for the Captain. I just can't stand seeing him getting close to Sandy. I just feel like crying all the t ime... When I saw Sandy coming out of his room in just a bathrobe and grinning at me... I just felt like hitting her but I did not... I now regret it. I don't know what to do and I just don't want to tell Ben since he still likes me... It's only to you that I can write to dear Journal... only you.
Food: Even though I did not eat anything the menu consisted on the following: breakfast: fruit salad; Lunch: Spaghetti Bolognaise; Dinner: Chicken sandwiches."

I had lied to him but I had no choice... I just could not bear to see him laugh at me... I was somehow glad because tomorrow we were going to land on Earth... I was not going to be alone... I was going to find my Uncle Goten and everything was going to be all right after that... so I hoped.
