Part 3
Krillin landed gallantly in a little oasis in the desert and set Android 18 down gently. He turned to her with eyes full of hope, and tears, and so much love it was disgusting. 18 set to work quickly. She slapped him across the face, jabbed her elbow down his back and, grabbing his cheeks and turning him toward her, punched him squarely on the six incense dots on his forehead. He dropped cold.
"Idiot", she mouthed. She picked him up and threw him into the nearby brook. Krillin floated slowly downstream. She got ready to take off into the sky, but something made her stop and turn back to the floating body.
"Oh. Right".
18 knelt by the bank and turned Krillin face up. She'd forgot they had to breathe.
"Curse him".
Who asked him to come and interfere? Stupid human. He was in love with her, she knew. He truly is a loser to fall in love with a robot. All she could think of was, "Plankton".
Dammit no. She should've killed them both, or at least let Krillin drown. What had happened to the days when she and 17 had been the most powerful in the universe? But Krillin…
At least he had helped her. Twice. Bald headed idiot. Dome head idiot. He was sweet. But an idiot.
She brushed her fabulous blonde hair to the side. She felt hot, as if her internal air conditioning system wasn't functioning properly.
Dammit. If only he had hair. But he had been wearing a nice gi. With a low cut neck.
If only he had hair. Was he naturally bald? Maybe he could grow some hair after they spent a few years together…
Wait. Dammit.
He was so short. And the way he looked at you… The way he had looked at her. Before she incapacitated him. Vegeta would be coming to find her. Oh well.
If only he had hair…
Dammit Krillin.
Was she really human enough…she wondered how much of her was robot and how much was heart and flesh.
The sun was setting. She had been walking upstream all afternoon, and she was getting near WestCity. Someone must have found Krillin by now. Maybe she should go find him? No. But maybe she would visit.
The sun was in her eyes and the world was beautiful.
Dammit she'd fallen in love with him.
