"Juuhachi Gou!" yelled her father "Juuhachi Gou your going to be late!!!"
"No, I'm not!" yelled Eighteen from up stairs. She was brushing her hair and just finished putting her gown on. Today was her graduation day. It was a proud day for her. It would have been prouder if here fiancé was graduating with her. But then she remembered what he told her a couple days earlier.
"Don't worry baby, I'll be at your graduation even if I have to escape from this hospital!"
"JUUHACHI GOU!!!"
Eighteen then jumped! "What?!?"
"You're going to be late!!! Do you have any idea what time it is?!?"
Eighteen looked at her clock and saw that she had 5 minutes to get there. "Ah crap!!"
She grabbed her hat and ran down stairs to the door. "Good luck today." Said her dad.
"Thanks dad." She then walked out the door and when into her car. She then drove off to the school.
--
The seniors standing around waiting to get in line for the graduation to start. ChiChi and Bulma where standing there starting to cry.
"Why are you guys crying?" Asked Lunch. "I though you guys would be happy to graduate?"
"We are." Said ChiChi as she wiped her tears. "but there are so many happy memories here, it's just sad to leave."
"Yeah ChiChi is right." Said Bulma. "This place is a piece of crap, but I'll miss it."
"I won't!" said Vegeta as he stood there with out his gown on. "This is the happiest day of my life!!"
"Vegeta, why aren't you wearing your gown yet?"
"Because it's an ugly thing of crap!"
"You need to wear it Vegeta." Said Goku. "You can't graduate if you don't!"
Vegeta rolled his eyes, and then slipped it on. "This is gay looking!"
"What does that mean?" said Nappa as he came up right behind him. Vegeta jumped.
"DAMN IT! Don't do that to me man!!"
"What I do?" asked Nappa
"Stand so close to me!" He then started to walk farther from Nappa.
"Well glad to know you got over every thing!"
Vegeta made a face. "I'm sorry. It's going to take me a while to get used to that fact ok! Give me time damn it. What are you doing here any way?!?"
"I came to called you to the back of the line! We have to start getting with our home rooms now!"
"We'll see you later then Nappa, Vegeta, and Lunch." Said Goku
They all walked over to the home rooms they needed to be in. Tien and Chaozu walked to the front of the line. They started to talk again and where still friends.
Goku, ChiChi, and Bulma where standing in the line, when Goku said, "Hey has any one seen Eighteen yet?"
"No, I haven't!" said ChiChi, "Have you Bulma?"
"No! Where is she?"
A Couple seconds later the band started to play "Pomp and Circumstance."
"Hey," said Goku "This doesn't sound too bad with out us!"
"Goku it's starting and Eighteen isn't here!!!"
"Oh yeah! Where is she!! She's going to be late!!!" Just after he said that they started to walk in.
--
Eighteen quickly rushed out of her car as she parked as closely as she could. 'Crap I can here the music!! I hope I'm not too late!!'
She ran as fast as she could. As she ran she saw her half of the home room walking in. One of the rare friends she made in her home room let her in.
"Man Eighteen, you where almost late!" she said
"Shut up." Eighteen said with a smile.
She then walked in to sit down with the rest of the graduates. She saw Goku and the gang in his home room. They gave off a sigh of relief. "Look there's Eighteen!!" said Goku to ChiChi.
"Oh thank Kami!!" said ChiChi "I though she wasn't going to make it!!"
"Well that's great." Said Goku "Now all of us our here."
"Not all of us." Said Bulma. "Did any of you ever wonder where Maron is at?"
They looked around. "No I haven't!" said Goku
Bulma giggled a bit. "Here's a better question. Where's the principal?"
ChiChi looked kind of sick while Goku though about it. "Hmm. Yeah that's odd. The principal is the first one here. Why is he not here?"
"Goku, you're an idiot." Said Bulma as she rolled her eyes. "Think about it, Maron is missing, the principal is missing and he NEVER misses the opening ceremonies!"
Goku though about it then made a face. "You think she's doing the principal?!?"
"I know she is. What other reason would they both not be here?"
"But he's old, smelly and fat!! She hasn't sunk that low has she?"
"Who knows?"
Just after that the administration started to look around a bit. The where looking for the principal. One of the teachers, Mr. Brawly, then walked up to the microphone and started to talk.
"We're sorry for the waiting, but our principal has seemed too disappeared. We can't start the ceremonies until he is here."
'Well this is great,' though Eighteen 'Where the hell is the principal?'
An hour went by and he was still not there. The administration was getting restless and so was the crowd, so they skipped right over to the passing out of diplomas. Right before they got to Goku, the principal was running down from the field. He's fat blubber was bouncing all over the place.
"Sir, where the hell where you?!" said Mr. Brawly as he covered the microphone. "We have been waiting hours for you, what where u doing?"
He fixed his hair a bit. "I was ah-discussing Maron, whatever her last night is, graduation."
"Sir I though she wasn't able to graduate."
"Well the both of us talked it over and she is able to graduate."
"You talked it over for 2 hours?"
"Yes, it was a very long talk."
"You smell like women's perfume."
"We where in the room for a long time, it must have come on me some how."
Mr. Brawly just gave up. He then gave him the microphone. The principal then continued saying the names. When he got to Maron he gave her a wink and licked his lips. Maron just rolled her eyes.
Eighteen noticed this and gave a look of discussed. 'My Kami!! Did what I think happen just happen? I'm going to barf!!'
Just as Eighteen bent down to throw up her row was ready to stand up. Instead of wanting to throw up because of being grossed out, now she wanted to throw up because she was nervous. She looked in the crowd to see if she saw anyone she knew, mainly Krillin. So far she saw no body. She looked further into it and still no one.
'Krillin isn't here. Where is he?'
"Juuhachi Gou."
Eighteen turned around and started to walk off. She wanted to cry. One of the most important days of her life and no one was there to spend it with her. She was walking up the stairs when she her some one yelling form the crowd
"Eighteen!! That's my girl friend!!! I love you baby!!!"
Eighteen turned to see Krillin standing up on the top of the bleachers with a sign that said "Congrads. Juu-chan!" but he was holding it upside down.
Eighteen started to laugh. Krillin then lipped out the words "Made you smile."
Eighteen gave off a big smile. She then continued to walk up and got her diploma.
--
After the graduation ceremonies every one had tears in there eyes, even Vegeta had a couple of tears.
"I'm not crying," said Vegeta as he wiped his face. "I just got some thing in my eye that's all."
Bulma then hugged him. "I'll miss this place too Vegeta."
ChiChi was cry as she was hugging onto Goku. Bulma turned to ChiChi. "ChiChi what's wrong?"
ChiChi stopped crying for a moment. "I was accepted into Eitoku Collage."
"Wow!! That's great." Said Bulma
"Not really Bulma." Cried ChiChi "Goku is going to the Shindo Collage."
Vegeta's eyes got big. "Those two Collages are at least 6 hours away from each other."
"That means you guys can see each other as much any more."
ChiChi rubbed her eye. "That's why we are crying." She turned to kiss Goku. "I don't want you to leave me!!"
Goku smiled with a tear coming down his cheek. "Honey, don't worry. You're smart; you need to go to Eitoku. That's was your dream since freshmen year. Don't let me stop you."
They hugged each other hard. "Well always be together." Said ChiChi
"I give them the first week to break up." Whispered Vegeta. Bulma then hit him.
As Goku and ChiChi cried Eighteen was looking around for Krillin. It was kind of hard to find a short guy in a crowd of tall people. Then Eighteen felt some thing funny. She felt some one grab onto her ass. As a first reaction she turned around and hit the guy that did it. That and she though it was Yamcha.
"Ass whole!!" she turned to see that she just knocked Krillin to the floor.
"Ouch" he said holding his eye and looking really dizzy.
"Oh no, Krillin!" she then when to pick him up. "I'm sorry I though you where just some pervert!!"
He shook it off. "Aw don't worry; I would have done the same thing." He then Kissed her cheek. "Congrads. Babe."
She smiled. "I though you weren't going to make it."
"I told you I would! I had a little trouble getting here though."
"Is that why you where so late?"
"I wasn't that late!! I came to see the most important part."
Eighteen then laid her head on him a bit. "I just wish you would have been able to graduate with me."
"Honey, don't worry. I'll be able to provide for you."
"It's not that. I just wanted you to feel these special feeling."
He smiled. "I can feel this feeling fine Juu-chan."
They then hugged each other for what it felt like forever.
Three Years Later
Krillin was busy putting on his new suit that he bought a week earlier. 'Damn this suit is stiff. I hate the new suit feel.'
He looked at him self in the mirror. 'I look like crap. I wish I had a brush.'
"Krillin!" yelled a voice
"Yeah?" he yelled as he put his ascot tie around his neck.
"You ready?" said Goku as he ran to him.
"Just about. You won't happen to have a brush on you now would you?"
Goku pointed to his hair. "Does it look like I do?"
Krillin sighed. "Oh well I guess this well just have to do any way. Better to just be my-self today anyway."
"Well come on Krillin. Where going to be late."
They both then started to walk down stairs. They where walking out the door when Roshi stopped them.
"Hey boys!! Let me take a look at you before you leave."
"Yes Master." Said Krillin as he walked back over to him.
"You two look great." He said as he fixed Krillin's caller. "I'll be there a little later."
"That's great." Said Goku. "Come on Krillin, your going to be late to your on wedding!"
--
Eighteen was staring at her self in the mirror. She was wearing a beautiful long white dress. She had never been happier.
"Eighteen. You look beautiful!" said ChiChi as she walked in with her flowers.
"Thanks" she then started to frown.
"What's wrong?"
"I just don't know. I kind of wish my brother would be here." She then looked to the ground. "I mean today is them most important day of my life. I wish my whole family would be here with me."
ChiChi put her hand on Eighteen. "They are here. There in your heart."
"Just with I could see them."
"I know how that feels. On my wedding day I was sad because my mother wasn't there, but I knew she was there in sprit."
Eighteen looked at her. "So you felt the same way when you got married to Goku?"
"Yeah I did. Then I got mad cold feet!! I didn't know if I should have got though with it but I'm glad I did."
"That's odd. Krillin asked me to marry him way before Goku asked you too and you get married before I did."
"Well that was odd, but that doesn't matter now, your getting married today!"
Eighteen gave off a sigh of happiness. She looked at her self again and whispered to her self. "Mrs. Juuhachi Chestnut" She then smiled.
ChiChi started to walk out when Eighteen called to her. "ChiChi, how does it feel to be married?"
ChiChi smiled. "It feels great. You'll love it Eighteen. You and Krillin are meant to be."
Bulma then rushed into the room. "You two ready yet? We're going to be late!"
"Yeah just about." Said ChiChi as she put Eighteen's vile on for her. "There!"
"Hey Bulma." Said Eighteen in a sly voice. "When are you and Vegeta getting married?"
Bulma gave off a face. "Very funny Eighteen." Bulma then looked at the floor.
Three days after graduation Bulma broke it off with Vegeta because he got put in jail for stealing beer. Three months after that she sadly got back together with Yamcha. That didn't last long at all. After that disaster Bulma met up with Vegeta again. A month later Bulma found out she was pregnant. They now have a 2 year old son named Trunks.
"I don't know if where even getting married." Said Bulma with a sigh. "He keeps getting into trouble with the law and I can't be in debt with him and our son."
"Mombe!" yelled a little boy as he ran in. Little Trunks ran up to Bulma and grabbed her leg. "I got you mombe!!"
"Trunks! I told you to stay with daddy!!"
He smiled big. "Dada's out side!!"
"Well go with him I'll be there in a second."
He then ran out side again. "He's a hand full. I'll see you at the chapel." Bulma then walked out side of the room.
"Well come on Eighteen. We don't want to be late!"
Eighteen picked up her flowers and walked out.
--
Goku then parked the car right out side the chapel. "We'll where here!"
Krillin just sat there. "Ah I'll just stay here in the car."
"What?" said Goku as he turned to him. "Don't tell me you've got cold feet?"
"If that means I can't move, then yeah I got mad cold feet!!"
"Ah man!! Come Krillin you got to get out of the car it's your wedding day!! The first day of the rest of your life!!"
"Easy for you to say you make a lot of money as a video game designer and I'm still working at the bike shop!! What if I really can't provide for her? What if we end up poor and helpless!!"
"Krillin calm down! You'll be able to provide for her! Don't worry about it."
He gave off a big sigh. "I just don't know."
Goku then went close to Krillin. "Krillin how far have you gotten with Eighteen?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I mean your sex life."
Krillin then started to blush. "Well ah-I ah never touched her. To nervous to get that close to her I though she would freak out."
Goku smiled. "Well you won't have to worry about that tonight. Tonight I'll bet you any thing she's going to want you."
Krillin's eyes got big. "Really?"
"Yep. Don't tell ChiChi I told you this," whispered Goku. "But ChiChi was crazy! She wanted me so bad it was a shocker to me!"
"Wow that really didn't help now I'm more nervous." Said Krillin. There was a short pause. "..............................I think I wet my self."
"Oh come on!!!" said Goku as he yanked Krillin of the seat. "We got to get go......................................."
He then saw that the set of his car was wet.
Krillin started to blush. "S-sorry."
"Eewwwwww."
--
The chapel was just about getting full of people. Vegeta and Yamcha where trying to get every one settled.
"Where the hell are Goku and Krillin?" said Vegeta. "I can't find them any where!!"
"Nether can I." said Yamcha. "Where is your son?"
"He's with Bulma. Where's your slut?"
He glared. "Funny. Maron and I are done with each other and you know it! She's not coming here anyway. She didn't want to come and see Krillin get married."
"She's out fucking more people for money huh?"
"Most likely. That's her job now! She works at a strip cub."
"That doesn't surprise me one bit."
"Oh hey look, it's Tien, Lunch and Chaozu!"
"I really don't care." Vegeta then left to look for Goku and Krillin.
Tien and Chaozu then walked up to talk to Yamcha. "Hey what's up!' said Yamcha.
"Nothing, how are you? Haven't seen you since Goku and ChiChi's wedding!" said Tien.
"I'm good I guess. What's up with you guys?"
"Nothing much." Said Tien "I'm a big shot in the advertisement business now. Chaozu is now on the billboards and so is Lunch."
"That's great."
"So how's every one else?" asked Lunch
"You'll find out from them sooner or later."
Just then Trunks ran by and bumped into Chaozu. "Clow!!" yelled Trunks.
"What?" said Chaozu. "Did he just call me a Clown?"
Tien laughed. "I think he did! Is this little Trunks? Man he has gotten big!"
"Yeah I know." Yamaha then looked at his clock. "Oh my Kami!! The it's almost time for the wedding to start!"
"Where do we stand?" asked Tien.
"Lunch go to the back. Tien and Chaozu over here." Said Yamcha. 'Where the hell is Krillin?'
--
Goku's car just parked into the parking lot. Goku got out and when to wear Krillin was. "Ok Krillin are you going to get OUT of the car now? I can't afford to wash the inside of my car again and get you a new pair of pants."
Krillin just sat there. "I-I'm too nervous."
Goku rolled his eyes. "Buddy what are you nervous about?"
"That I'm no good for her. What if I just mess her life up?"
"Krillin you love her. You'll do any thing for her, that's why I know you'll be a good husband!"
Krillin looked to the ground. "I just don't know, if I can Ahem, get her needs."
"What?" said Goku questionably. "You mean you don't know if your...................."
".......................'Gift' is big enough."
"Krillin! To be honest she won't care! She loves you and it won't really matter."
Krillin started to blush. "O-ok. I'm ready." Krillin then got up and out of the car.
--
The wedding was just about to start, Krillin was standing there and nervous as he could ever be. 'Its times like this I wish my father would care about me. I could really use his advice right now.'
The music then started. Goku was standing right next to Krillin. "This is it buddy. You ready?"
Krillin was starting to blush. "As ready as I'll ever be." He then turned around. The brides maids started to walk in. Then the matron of honor then walked in, ChiChi. Just then every one stood up. Krillin was getting more nervous. He looked out to the door waiting for his soon to be wife to come out.
Coming out the door, was Eighteen and her father. Eighteen looked beautiful in her long with dress. Her vile covered her face which helped out her beauty. It also hid her nervousness as well. 'I can't believe this is happening.' She thought.
She looked over and saw Krillin. In all honesty she didn't feel as nervous any more. They made it up too the altar. They looked at each other long in the eyes. Krillin then put his hand out for her to grab it. Eighteen grabbed his hand and was lead up to wear he was. Eighteen laughed. "You may need a chair to kiss me." She whispered
"Shut up." Whispered Krillin.
--
The Wedding ceremony went on as planned. The only thing left to do, was the "I do's." They turned to each other.
"Krillin, do you take this women to be your lawfully wedded wife?" asked the priest.
Krillin gulped. He nervously said "I-I do!"
Eighteen smiled.
The priest turned to Eighteen. "Juuhachi, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
She smiled bigger at him. "I do!"
"Then by the power in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Krillin then pulled back her vile and saw how beautiful she looked. "Wow" he whispered "You look so beautiful."
She sighed. "Krillin, you talk too much. Just kiss me." She then pulled his face to hers and they shared her first kiss as a married couple.
Every one then cheered. After there long kiss, they then started to walk out. As they looked around to see there family and friends, Eighteen saw some thing in the distains. She looked a little farther and though she saw her brother. She gasped. Krillin turned around.
"Babe? Are you ok?"
She shook her head and looked again, she saw nothing. "Yes, I'm fine. I just though I saw some thing." They continued walking out of the chapel as every one fallowed.
The two figures behind the chapel walls. One was breathing heavy.
"I think she saw you." Said the other figure. "You just blew your cover Seventeen."
"She didn't. Besides she thinks I killed my-self remember? She doesn't have to worry about that,"
"I'm still wondering Seventeen. Why did you tell her you killed your-self?"
Seventeen looked at Darko. "So she didn't have to worry about me! I knew I was ruining her life. If she thinks I'm dead she doesn't have to worry about me messing her life up for her. I messed up her childhood, I didn't want to mess any thing else up. Plus the fact that she can't press charges on me."
"But you leaving the family has ruined your life."
"Not so much. I can just leave and change my name."
"Why haven't you done that yet then?"
"Because I knew the little shit would ask her to be his wife. I had to see my sister's wedding."
"Why? I though you wanted your family to be in pain?"
Seventeen sighed. "I guess I just had a change of heart." He then started to walk away. "Come on, we need to get going before we are seen by some one who knows us."
The two of them walked off to there car, walking away from Eighteen's life for good.
6 years later
"Marron!" yelled Eighteen as she was looking for her 3 year old daughter. Year years earlier Eighteen surprised Krillin by telling him she was pregnant as a birthday gift. It was the best birthday surprise of his life.
So many thing changes over the years. Krillin ended up inheriting "The Turtle Hermit" when Master Roshi pasted away. By the time he passed away the bike shop was the only one left. Since it was so retro, with no modernization, it became a big hit. Krillin and Eighteen are now extremely rich.
Goku and ChiChi had a 5 year old boy named Gohan and had an other son on the way. They lived happy and have no problems. Vegeta and Bulma got married eventually and live happily off of Bulma's dad. Tien, Chaozu and Lunch lost touch with every body after the wedding. Raditz and Nappa ended up leaving to an other country to get married. They live happy and couldn't be happier.
Yamcha with no surprise got back with Maron and got H.I.V. Maron turned into a prostitute, ended up with S. T. D's and died of AIDs. To Yamcha's surprise he missed her the most. He missed her so much that he lots contact with every one and left to be alone for the rest of his life. To every one else's surprise Krillin was sadden by it and named his daughter after her. He named her Marron because Maron was the one who taught him the true meaning of love and that love is not a toy. Of course this didn't fly with Eighteen but she realized what Krillin meant by it. So she made sure the names weren't spelled the same way.
"Marron? Where are you?" she called as she was walking down the hall.
"He, he." Laughed some one who was upstairs in the basement.
Eighteen then started to walk up the basement. "Marron, are you up here?"
When she got up there she saw her daughter playing with some old things. She was filled with dirt.
"Marron!" said Eighteen. "Didn't I just give you a shower?"
She just smiled. She gave off the smile that Krillin as given her many times before.
Eighteen Sighed. "Come you know you're not supposed to be up here." She then picked her up. She noticed that Marron had a book in her hand. "What do you have in your arms?"
Marron just giggled. "Nothing, mama."
She looked at Marron. "Marron, give it too me."
"Ok mama." She gave her the book. Eighteen then walked with Marron still in her arms down the stairs.
"Now make sure you don't go up the stairs ok?" reminded Eighteen.
"Ok mama!" Marron then ran off to play with her toys. Eighteen took a good look at the book. She noticed it said "Keep out."
'This was my diary!' though Eighteen. 'I can't believe Marron found it! I though I lost it.'
Eighteen sat down to read what was in it. She looked though it and saw all the stuff she had said about people. Things about her family her brother and just a bunch of different things. She noticed how much her views of her farther have changed so much. How much she really missed her brother. She was just about to put it away when she read the very last entry she ever put.
Dear Diary
Well this is it. The start to my new life. I'm getting married today! To the man I love with all my heart! I don't care what happens next in my life, I just know no matter what, I'm going to be happy. ChiChi had just told me that she had a surprise to tell Goku. She told me that at the reception she was going to tell him that she is pregnant! I want to surprise Krillin that way. Kami I just love him so much. I'll be able to prove all my love for him tonight. I just don't think I could have ever survived with out him by my side. I think I would have killed my self if it wasn't for him. He was How I survived High School.
Goodbye
Eighteen
After reading that Eighteen closed the book. Eighteen sighed. She really though about the last sentence that's she wrote. "He was how I survived high school." Those words meant so much to her now.
'If I never meant Krillin,' she though 'I would have never known love, I would have never graduated, I would have never had the sweet little girl I have now, I would never have been truly happy.'
She took a pen and opened the book once more. She wrote one more thing, the last thing she would ever write.
We all need some one in our lives to help us survive. A brother or sister, a loved one, or even just a very good friend. It's funny though, at what seems the most immature time of your life, the time where you don't care about any thing happening in the world, all you really care about half the time is your self, in High School, is where you meet that person that helps you survive.
She then closed the book. 'I'll read this again in 7 or 8 years.' She smiled. She put the book down all called for Marron.
Marron went running to her mom. "Yes mama?"
Eighteen then picked up her daughter and gave her a big hug. "I love you."
Marron hugged her mom back. "I wuve you too mama!"
As they where hugging, the door opened. Krillin just came home from work tried as heck. He and a lot of help in the shop, but it was still hard work for him.
"DADA!!" yelled Marron as she ran out of Eighteen's arms and into Krillin's.
"Hey squirt!" he said as he picked her up, gave her a hug and kissed her forehead. "How was your day?"
"Fun!!"
He then put Marron on the floor. Eighteen made her way over to Krillin. "Hi Honey." He said.
With out saying a word, she just gently grabbed his face and gave him a kiss on the lips.
Krillin just stood there. "Wow." He gasped. "I haven't gotten one of those in a long time. What brought that up?"
"Oh, nothing." She said as she walked off to the hall way, smiling. On the way she picked up her book.
"That woman is always full of surprises." Said Krillin under his breath.
Eighteen just continued up into the basement again. She then put her diary back in the box. She walked back down stairs and met up with Krillin and Marron. Krillin was playing with Marron in the living room. She just stood there and watched them play. She took her brother and dad for granted. She would never to it again. She looked upon her family with great joy. She was glad she moved and went to Dragon High. She was glad she meant the love of her life. She was just happy and would stay like that forever.
