Hello, people! Here's Chapter 5!

Warning: There are flashbacks. It goes through the whole story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Dragon Ball Z


I stared at Jewl then back at Jill who looked at Jewl with embarrassment. "Um...I thought you were staying later." Jill finally said.

"Jill, it's twelve o'clock midnight. How much later is there?"

"What did you come here for?" She asked, getting off and sitting down closely to me.

"I came to tell you that I think I know what the problem is with your time machine."

"Really?" I asked. "What is it?!" I was kind of excited, but I knew that how I said that, Jill wasn't too happy.

"Yeah, it was this one piece that fell off and the rest was really rusty. I can fix it tomorrow."

"Wow, thanks, Jewl."

"Hey, what are best friends for?!" He left.

"Are you going to leave tomorrow?" Jill asked me as soon as the door fully closed.

"I don't know how long it takes for him to fix and clean things. It might take another day."

"Is that it? All we've been through ends just like that?" Her blue eyes went soft as she looked into mine. She was definitely not 18 yet.

"It doesn't have to." That was all I can say. I felt horrible for having to leave her.

"I love you." She said followed by a kiss on the cheek.

"I love you, too." Wait a minute! Hold the phone! This can't be happening!

FLASHBACK:

"Hey, stranger. Are you new to town?"

"Well, I'm Julian, but don't call me that. To you and everyone else I know, I'm either Jewl or Blaster. It doesn't matter." Maybe I didn't have to ask. "What's your name?"

His voice wasn't as threatening. It was still deep and quiet but it was slightly louder and less threatening. "I'm Trunks." I shook his hand.

"Welcome to my neighborhood, Trunks."

"Why do they call you Blaster?"

He gave me a smile and pulled out a gun out of his gun pouch thing. "On account of I have this! Blaster Jr." He was referring to his gun. How lame! "It help me through the times and I shine her and blast her everyday."

"Um, you spat on my shoe, Blaster." The big guy said.

Jewl elbowed him in the stomach. "Deal with it. I'm with a friend."

Jewl popped the hood open and coughed into his sleeve again, but this time, it sounded harsher. I was only watching to see if he would regain strength and stop, but kept coughing harshly into his sleeve.

"Hey, Buddy, are you okay?" He didn't answer me. His right hand was clinched into a fist behind his left ear. His left hand was grabbing onto the hood of my machine for dear life. His face was getting red and full of sweat. It was something an android would never do. A couple of tears came down his eyes. Another thing an android wouldn't do. Jewl slowly and with every cough went down. He was coughing onto his knees. That's when I came in. I took his left hand off of the hood and he gripped my hand pretty hard. Then, I started patting his back. I don't know if that'll work but it was a start. "Jewl, say something, please. Say something!" Jewl kept coughing. "Jewl."

"I'm fine." He said after taking a deep breath. He coughed a little more then stopped. Jewl took a few deep breaths and put the cigarette in his mouth.

"Jewl, I think that smoking is killing you. You need to stop."

"You know what I mean. Jewl, you have to stop smoking." He took a rag out of his back pocket and wiped his forehead. "Did you hear me?"

"Yes, I heard you."

"Well...?"

"I can't."

"You can't what?"

"I can't stop. I tried." He took out a screwdriver and started screwing or unscrewing things.

"What do you mean?"

"I tried to quit. I couldn't. Are you calling me weak?"

"What? What makes you say that?"

"Because of all the things I can't do, I can't even quit."

"No, you're not weak. It's really hard to quit smoking. It's normal. But if you keep it up, it won't do you any good."

"I told you. I tried. It was hard, but I tried. Now, I'm back in the beginning. Just how I started."

"What happened?"

"I stopped cold turkey. Eventually, I started having these weird twitches, I got all jittery, and I couldn't focus. I was sent to rehab which killed me on the inside. Then, next thing I knew, I quit that and began closet smoking. Then, I quit that and began...not closet smoking."

"Oh, come on. I bet a tough guy like you can over come it."

"I said I tried. What more do you want?"

"I want results. Your sister is afraid you're going to die before she does. You have to stop."

"Now, are you and Jill going out again tonight?"

"I don't think so." I told him.

"Why? You guys are a good couple." He laughed.

"Yeah right!" I laughed. "So, how much longer until you're done?"

"I don't even know what the problem is. It could be days even weeks, but I'll fix it because you're my friend."

What did he just say?! "I'm your friend?" How friendly would I be if I destroy him in the next amount of years? This mission did not call for me making friends with these androids.

"Yeah. Why wouldn't you be? You're actually are concerned about me and you trust me and actually believe that I can fix your foreign machine. You're a better friend than a bunch of my other friends who just like me because they think that I'm going to kill them."

"Well, I know you. From this past day, I know you wouldn't kill someone for no reason." He wouldn't as Jewl but he would as Android 17.

"Thanks, man."

END OF FLASHBACK:

I've befriended the enemy! Wait! What did I just say to Jill?

FLASHBACK:

"You want to listen to music?"

"Um, sure." Jill pulled out a capsule from her pocket and threw it way. When it exploded, a small, blue boom box came out.

"What kind of music do you like?" She asked me. How was I supposed to know what music this time has?!

"Any. Whichever you want." She pressed a button and music started. The music was soothing to the ears. It was a girl singing softly about love. Nothing but the music was basically heard. That and Jill taking another puff from her cigarette.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Jill's ice blue eyes looked into my blue eyes. She looked into them for a while. She has beautiful eyes. Our laughs slowly stopped. My breath kind of went steady as I came closer to her. She came closer to me, too. I leaned in closer as my eyes closed. Next thing I knew, her lips were planted against mine. We held it for a couple of seconds. Jill's lips were soft against mine.

"Did that just happen?" I asked with a sly smile.

"Yep. Did you like it?"

Good question. Did I? "Yes."

"Do you have a place to stay?" I just shook my head and licked my lips. Jill's lip balm was still there and it tasted like cherry. "You can stay with me."

"About the kiss. Did it mean anything to you?"

"Of course." Jill looked at me and smiled.

"I kind of like you." She said after a while of silence. She was a nice girl, but do I like her? What do I say about that? "Well...?"

"Well, what?"

"Is that...okay?"

"It's fine."

"Do you like me?" Good question. Do I?

"Yes."

Jill held my hands and looked me dead in the eyes. "Do you?" She asked a little concerned as if I were lying.

"Yes, I do." It felt good to say it. Jill stopped me from walking and looked into my eyes. Then, she kissed me on the cheek. Jill took me by the hands and pulled me across the street and into an alley behind a clothing store.

I wanted to say how impressed I was but Jill interrupted by running to me and crying on my shoulder. I didn't like to see Jill hurt. I especially don't when she's crying.

"It's okay." I told her in a low voice like Gohan would to me if I cried on him. "It's over now." I brushed some of the hair out of her reddened face and tucked them behind her ears. Then, I brushed her back gently as she continued to sob. "It's okay now." I continued to say. "It's over. They're gone." She gave out short gasp as if she was about to say something, but continued crying instead. "I know he cheated on you, but he's gone now. I know he cheated with your best friend but she's gone now. I'm sure you have more friends, right?" She nodded and continued to sob. "It's okay. I'm here now."

My arm was still around her waist as I gently moved it up and down. Then, she turned to me and kissed me on the cheek. The kiss on the cheek turned to a kiss on the lips. He lips were again planted on mine for a good long time until her tongue pressed out of her lips and into mine. I didn't mind, strangely. I did the same thing. Next thing I knew, my hand was in her tank top and her hands... I didn't care. This embrace felt like something I never felt before. I loved it.

"We've only known each other for two days but it feels like we've known each other forever." She told me.

"Why do you say that?" I asked.

"I can actually talk to you. With my other friends, they shut me out. I feel like I'm actually important and that I actually matter to someone."

"Well, of course you matter to me. I've only been on this time line for a couple of days and you accepted me like a stray puppy. A person like that should get all kinds of recognition." Jill kissed me on the cheek.

"Thanks for that."

When we were headed back to the house, Jill pulled my wrist into her room and pushed me on her bed. She wasn't mad. It was the opposite. She got on top of me and kissed me again. This time, I stopped playing the clueless guy and started playing the guy who actually knew what he was doing. I grabbed her waist and brought her closer to me. Our embrace was magical in a sappy way. Well, I liked it.

END OF FLASHBACK:

I've fallen in love with my enemy!

How could this have happened? My father would be ashamed! This is not what I was put on this mission for! How am I going to explain this to the Z warriors? "There are killer androids coming your way but don't kill them because one's my girlfriend and the other's my best friend." That's not the way to go. What do I do? I have to end this now before something really happens.

"Trunks?" I sharply looked at her. I snapped out of my train of thought. "What's wrong?"

"Uh..um..." I stuttered.

"You looked like you regret what you said." She said kind of hurt but more serious. "You kind of froze up like you forgot something or you just got hit by a water balloon and it soaked you from head to toe. What is it?"

"I...I...I have to talk to Jewl." I got up and left the room. When I entered the living room, Jewl was playing load rock music which just had the guitar whining.

"Hey, Trunks." He said in a happy tone.

"Jewl, we need to talk."

"About what?" He asked me, lighting a cigarette. "Oh, guess what! I limited myself for only four cigarettes a day!"

"How many do you usually have?"

"I don't count. It's a lot though." He gave me a reassuring smile.

"The problem is, I have to leave soon." Jewl's smile went down.

"Oh. Okay." He sounded hurt.

"It's okay! We'll still be friends." How can I lie to him at a moment like this? He is my friend.

"You're the only reason that I'm quitting again. You want me to quit and you're leaving so soon? Will you be back or are you going to just go off to different times for the fun of it and come back?"

"I do have to go. My own time needs me more than you know."

Jewl sat in silence and puffed his cigarette. "Jill isn't going to like this."

"I know. That's why I came to you first. What do I do?"

"I'll tell her."

"Why? It's my problem. I could tell her."

"No, she loves you. I'm her brother. Plus, she already hates me." Jewl cracked a smile that was like 17's. "Just promise me you'll do me this favor."

"Sure, anything."

"In your time line, help me quit, and keep my sister alive." I wanted to tell him that he wasn't a smoker, but I couldn't. It'll ruin everything.

"Sure, Pal."


Wait! Wait! It's not done! There's still a few more chapters! Lol! While there's a break here, why don't you review? No hurtful comments please! Thanks!
