Chapter 5: Time to Go

Two days quickly passed and it was now Saturday morning—the day 18 was going to go see her 'family.' She was having second thoughts about this whole thing the night before, but knew she was not going to let herself get out of this.

When 18 woke up, she looked over on Krillin's side of the bed, but did not see him there. She got out of bed, put on her robe and slippers, and went to Marron's room. As she was walking to her daughter's room, she could hear the shower running, indicating that was where Krillin was.

As 18 entered Marron's room, the little girl was still sound asleep and clinging onto her teddy bear. She wanted to get Marron dressed and ready to go to Ch-Chi's house before getting herself ready. Marron's things were already packed and so all 18 had to do was get her dressed. She woke Marron up, but the little girl just closed her eyes again. 18 pulled the covers and picked up Marron, and this time she kept her eyes open.

"Mommy I don't want to get up."

"I know, but you get to go to Chi-Chi's house today. I need to get you ready."

The shower stopped running, and 18 started getting Marron ready to go. 18 walked over to the dresser and pulled out some clothes and immediately got Marron dressed. She then started doing her hair in the usual pig-tail style. Marron was ready to go now.

It did not take Krillin too long to get dried off and dressed. When he was ready, he walked into Marron's room and saw that she was ready, but 18 was not.

"Hey, 18 you can have the bathroom now, I'm done."

"Good. Marron is ready and her things are packed."

"Do you mind if I just fly her over to Chi-Chi's house while you get ready? It won't take me too long as long as Chi-Chi doesn't wanna stand around and talk forever."

"Go ahead, that way we can just leave from here when you get back."

"Sounds good. I'll be back in an hour."

Before leaving Krillin put Marron's overnight bag in a capsule, which contained toys, some clothes and other things she needed. 18 gave Marron a hug and kiss, and then Krillin picked up the little girl and flew into the air away from the island.

18 had most of her her things packed, but she would worry about that after getting dressed. The first thing she did was jump in the shower.

She did not take too long in the shower. After getting out and drying off, she got dressed in her normal outfit, which was jeans and a black shirt. After combing her hair she decided she was ready. She made sure she had everything she needed, and then put her bags in a capsule.

'Krillin shouldn't be too much longer.' She thought. She was ready to leave, so she just sat on the couch and waited for her husband.

After about a half-hour, Krillin walked in the door. "Sorry, 18. Chi-Chi started talking and Gohan and Goten were excited to see me, and Marron didn't want me to leave."

18 laughed a little. "Poor thing. I just realized we've never been apart from her this long before. Two days will seem like forever to her."

"I know. We can call tomorrow morning and check on her."

"Yeah we could." 18 sighed. "I have all my things in a capsule. I'm ready to go whenever you are."

"Good, I'll just go make sure I have everything I need."

Krillin went upstairs while 18 wrote a note to Master Roshi and Oolong since those two said they would be back the following day. She did not mention where her and Krillin were going because they did not want anybody knowing, at least not right now.

Krillin came back downstairs with two capsules in his hand—one with his things in it and the other was a car. "I'm ready."

"Me, too. I wrote a note to the old man and the pig saying we'll be back in a couple days."

"Okay, let's go!"


Even though the town 18 and Krillin were going to was pretty far from where they lived, it did not take them a really long time to get there with their super speed. After only a couple hours, they stood in mid-air above the town.

"So, this is where I'm from? This town looks more mid-sized—that guy on TV made it sound like it was this tiny place. Glad it's not too small, that would be boring."

"From the look of it, this town looks like a good place to live."

"Yeah."

"Well, we're on the outskirts right now. I think this would be a good place to land and take the car the rest of the way."

"Sure, Krillin." 18 could not help but stare at the town she used to live in. None of it looked familiar to her.

As they landed, they made sure nobody was looking because they did not want to freak anybody out if they were seen flying. Krillin threw the capsule on the ground and a mid-sized car appeared. The couple got in and drove off.

As they entered the town, 18 was trying to take in the sights of the place to see if there was even an ounce of familiarity, while Krillin was looking for a motel.

Nothing at all looked familiar to 18. She tried to remember even a little bit of something, but failed miserably. 'Dr. Gero sure as hell did a good job of making sure I had no memories left.'

It was a nice town. There were little stores along the main streets, and people walking on the sidewalks either alone, with friends or children, or walking their dogs.

Krillin found a motel not too long after entering the town. It was not big and fancy, but it was decent and clean. He drove into the parking lot and parked the par. "Does this look okay to you, 18?"

"Yeah, it's fine. I don't care where we stay as long as it's not a dump."

"Okay, I'll just go in and get us checked in."

Krillin got out of the car and went into the motel office while 18 stayed and waited in the car. Krillin came back within a few minutes. They grabbed their things and made their way to they motel room.

They went in quickly because they did not want anybody seeing 18. Sure she had her wig and sunglasses, but she only wanted to get those things out of she were going out in public. The room wasn't huge, but it was big enough for the two of them. It was a nice looking room and looked like it had been recently cleaned because of the smell of air freshener. There was one bed, a TV, a dresser, a table and a place to hang coats. The bathroom was small, but it would do.

"Well, 18, it's early afternoon. Wanna get some early dinner?"

"Sure, just let me get my little disguise out."

18 did not want to wear that stupid wig, but she knew she had to if she did not want anybody to recognize her.

"I feel like such an idiot with this thing on." 18 was wearing wig which was brown hair with subtle blonde highlights.

"Ah, don't worry. You look beautiful no matter what." Krillin kissed 18 on the cheek and she blushed a little.

"Let's go, Krillin…all I had to eat today was a couple pieces of fruit while I was waiting for you this morning."


Dinner was uneventful. 18 and Krillin went to a pizza place near the motel. Her disguise was actually successful. Nobody gave her any looks saying 'she looks familiar' or 'I know her from somewhere.' Nothing…and that is how she wanted it. The two ended up eating two entire large pizzas since they had not eaten much all day.

After dinner, they went to a convenience store to get some snacks to have at the motel. When they got back, Krillin put the car back in the capsule and they headed back to their room.

They went in and 18 took off her wig. She put it down on the table and turned on the TV and found a movie that was on. They watched so they can pass the time since it was not really late enough to go to bed—it had not even gotten dark out yet.

The movie finally ended about two hours later and it had gotten dark outside. It got dark later since it was spring time. It was not early, but still earlier than the normal time 18 and Krillin went to bed. They got changed into their night clothes and put the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the outside of the motel room door and locked it.

Krillin had already laid down. 18 went to the dresser and picked up the phone book.

"What are you doing, 18?"

"Looking up my parents' address." It was easy to find since there was only one family with the last name she was looking for, and the name of the parents matched the names on the TV show she was watching only a couple days ago.

After writing down the address, 18 put the phone book back where it was and put the piece of paper in her purse. She made sure all the lights were off, with the exception of the lamp on Krillin's side of the bed. She crawled into bed and put her head down on Krillin's chest. 18 was nervous about the next day, and she had every right to be.

Krillin kissed his wife goodnight and she did the same. She kissed him a few more times, and did not show any sign of stopping. "Krillin…"

"Yes, 18?" Krillin said as he looked into 18's blue eyes.

"Make love to me."
