The last chapter was short to make way for this chapter, I apologize if the confession was too soon, but this is adamant and done elaborately. The next few chapters will be centered around Orion. The estimate for what Saga this takes place is shortly after the Cell Games Saga and Orion will come back towards the Ending Saga after Pan is born.

Also apologies for this sappy ass chapter, I burnt myself like Android 16 did in Chapter Four after trying to cook, it was meant to be! Anyways I am fine, aside from the scab I received from stupidity, anyways I hope you enjoy and the next chapter will change everything and give an insight on Orion, you will meet a few OCs and new characters. Okay bye~

Orion gets a text message from Bulma inviting her and Android 16 to her Valentine's Day party. Orion smiled and turned to face Android 16.

"Hey, Gevo!" She called.

"Yes?" Android 16 walked towards Orion.

"Bulma has invited us to her party. You wanna come?" Orion asked.

"Sure. Parties are most certainly the human experience."

Orion smiled. Then Orion got dressed. Android 16 was finished with his dressing before Orion. But when Orion came downstairs he couldn't help but look on in awe. It was almost as if the whole world stopped when she walked downstairs in that lovely dress.

It was nothing like the dress she wore when they went to visit Android 17. It was a long dress that showed her legs, she had sleeves that were off the shoulder, there was a cutout on her stomach, the dress was red with little white hearts on it. She wore a necklace with a red heart in the middle. She wore white gloves and black heels. She was wearing a moderate amount of makeup.

Android 16 blushes. Feeling silly that he was underdressed, she held her hand out to Android 16 who instinctively kissed it. Orion's eyes widened. By the time he pulled away he looked at Orion in the eyes.

"I apologize, it's what Humans show that they care, do they?" Android 16 asked. Orion giggles.

"Of course." She said, and turned away from him, clearing her throat.

"Shall we arrive at the party?" She asked, and Android 16 nodded, taking his hand, but he placed her hand on his shoulder. Android 16 took her with him to the party, the moment she and him arrived all eyes were on them, Bulma dropped her glass and gave a knowing smirk while Vegeta and Goku gawked at Orion's "revealing" dress. Chi-Chi slapped Goku, and he averted his gaze. Android 16 immediately walked to meet up with his friends, while Orion made her way to the alcohol table. She was drinking and smiling.

Bulma walked up to Orion. "So, I take it as Android 16 is now your boyfriend~" Bulma teases.

"Oh, no, me and Gevo are still friends." Orion said, by now the other females walked over.

"Still friends?" 18 tsks. "At this rate, me and Krillin are married, Bulma's married, and Chi-Chi's married, it won't be long until Videl and Gohan's married." 18 points out.

"...Maybe I don't want to rush it, me and Gevo are better off as friends." Orion said, tasting the drink. Feeling the bitter taste in her mouth.

"Yeah, friends don't treat their best friends as personal bodyguards or give them lovey eyes, at this rate, you might lose Android 16 to some guy or gal who will sweep them off their feet. He's every person's dream partner." Chi-Chi said, planting seeds of doubt in her mind.

"Perhaps, maybe he already found someone." 18 said, walking away from them. Chi-Chi followed, and Orion lifted a shaky hand with the cup to her mouth… She took a sip as she darted her eyes towards Android 16. Who was busy laughing- or trying to laugh with Android 17.

'Is he laughing about a girl he finds attractive? Maybe 18 and Chi-Chi are right… I am too late…'

Bulma frowned and turned to face her friend. "Don't listen to them, they are obviously trying to make you feel worse. Remember, Android 16 possibly is single." Bulma said. "You just don't know if you don't communicate." Bulma said.

"...What's the point? I might as well get drunk and forget about him." She said, running her hand through her hair as she began to refill her drink.

"I don't think that-" Before Bulma could object, she heard Vegeta call her and she rushed towards him. She was going to ask someone to watch Orion to make sure she isn't too inebriated. But was distracted.

Orion downed a drink after another, and before she knew it. She was flat out drunk. And couldn't walk. She began to dance on the dance floor before being approached by what she sees is Yamcha.

"Hey, beautiful." Yamcha said, a little seductively.

"I just see you're all alone and I was wondering if you would like to dance?" Yamcha asked.

"Sure, I don't see why not." Orion said, and Yamcha placed his hands on her waist and she placed her hands on his head. They were dancing together, and it was going well. She didn't notice someone was particularly getting upset. Yamcha was leaning closer… Closer… before…

Slap!

There was gasps and yells, and in front of her in Yamcha's place stood Android 16, his hand covered in Yamcha's blood, and Orion could stare in shock.

"Android 16!" She exclaimed, using his name for the first time since she met him, "What the fuck's your problem!" She yelled, storming off in tears, but due to the fact she was drunk. She stumbled out. Android 16 made his way after her.

"Nova! Wait!" Android 16 yelled, running towards her. Orion had her back faced towards him. Tears were streaming down her face.

"What, what do you want, Android 16?!" She said, turning to face him.

"I didn't mean to make you upset, I was only doing what I was assigned to do as a friend and bodyguard, I thought you were in danger from him, and I was only doing what I was told to do as a precaution to protect you." Android 16 said.

"That doesn't mean you punch them! You had everyone look at us! Everyone was staring at us!" Orion said, Android 16 paused for a moment and looked down.

"Do you want me to leave?"

"Huh?"

"I think you misheard me, I said, do you want me to leave?"

Orion was taken aback by that, she didn't know what to say, she's been with Android 16 from the beginning since she met him in the forest that fateful day. And she grew attached to him.

"N-No, why the fuck would you even suggest something like that!?" Orion exclaimed.

"I am simply asking, because your heart rate is rising and it's clear you're distressed by my actions." Android 16 points out. Orion takes a deep breath and turns to face him.

"Why does it matter?" Orion asked.

"...It matters because you've been acting weird since the beginning of the party. I noticed you were drinking high amounts of alcoholic beverages and getting drunk… You were seriously endangering yourself and I was worried someone would try and take advantage of you." Android 16 said.

"So what!? What if I want to endanger myself!? Atleast I will feel better knowing that someone wants me in the way I want you !" She said, her words with venom.

"What are you talking about, Nova?" Android 16 asked.

"Fine, fine, Chi-Chi and 18 said you're probably dating someone else, and… And… I couldn't bear the thought that someone wanted you in the way I wanted you… And… I just, it hurts. Knowing that I will never be that girl…" Orion said, tearing up.

Android 16 didn't know what to say, "What are you talking about, Nova. There is no "other girl" there's just us, you and me, Nova and Gevo." Android 16 said.

"...I… I don't believe you, there's no way I can't bear to see you with another. Just seeing you and hearing you laugh is painful and I believed that… That you won't love me, and…" Orion turned to face Orion.

"I… I have no clue what to say, Nova. Let's just go home, you're too intoxicated to be in a state in the dark." Android 16 picked her up, and took them home, during the few minutes they arrived back. Orion fell asleep, he didn't know what to do. He just received a confession from her, but didn't know what to do. So he wrote her a note. Hopefully this can help her.

He then got up, and left.

The next morning when Orion awoke she found the note, a single tear went down her cheek.

"I'll think about it."
