Foreward from the author....

This is a story about my all time favorite dragonball couple, Krillin and Android 18. Since I find it detracts from her human qualities to call 18 by a number, in my story she is referred to as Ju, or as Krillin calls her, Julie. (Short for Juuhachigou.) I noticed that the way these two ended up together had a sort of Romeo and Juliet theme to it, so I decided to accentuate. So, for your reading pleasure, I present to you my humble fanfiction.....

Chapter one

Gohan, Yamcha, Tien, and Piccolo strolled calmly down the street of Satan city. Gohan and Yamcha roughhoused playfully in front of the other two, who were walking slowly and seriously as usual. Most of the people in the city swerved to avoid them, and in all honesty, who wouldn't? Piccolo alone was very intimedating, with his height and pink on green skin. His weighted cape hovered lightly behind him, swaying in the gentle wind his body gave off as he walked. To anyone who saw him, it looked as if he would attack anyone who crossed his path. A deep scowl was set on his face, showing he was not one to mess with.

Tien, though not so foreboding, was a sight to behold himself. He carried himself in a way that showed his confidence in himself. His posture was straightbacked and stern. He too wasn't smiling, although his mouth wasn't set in a scowl like his taller friend's. Rather, his lips formed a content line across his face. The third eye set in his forehead watched his younger friends in front of him while the normal two below it kept watch straight ahead.

Yamcha was teasing Gohan, the youngest of the four. Yamcha's carefree face was practically shining with happiness as he clapped Gohan on the back , teasing him about his relentless study habits. Yamcha's hair was cut short and off his face, revealing two X shaped scars tracing over his eyes. They had been there a long time, and both him and his friends were completely oblivious to them.

Gohan was young, only about twelve to thirteen years old. Though his body was toned and muscular, his jubulient face was still young and carefree. He looked to his friends in a sort of awe constantly. If there was one person who would always do anything for his friends, it was Gohan.

"Would you two be quiet? You're making idiots out of yourselves." Piccolo muttered just loud enough for Gohan and Yamcha to hear him.

"Like anyone around here cares. You know, Piccolo, you really should come out of those woods of yours more often. Who knows, you might even grow to enjoy city life!" As he spoke Yamcha flung his arms out, nearly knocking into poor Gohan. Piccolo merely rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, live in the city and end up playing on whatever loser baseball team you play for? I think I'm better off in the forest. Besides, I stay up at the lookout with Dende now, remember?" Gohan looked at him quizzically. Yamcha nudged him in the ribs.

"Oh yeah. I forgot, Piccolo lives with God now." Piccolo sighed loudly.

"Dende isn't God Yamcha. He's the gaurdian of earth. There's a difference.

"If you say so." Yamcha said. "I must have gotten hit on the head with one two many baseballs then."

"Don't look now guys," Tien spoke up. "But guess who just showed up."

"Wait, don't tell me..." Yamcha moaned.

"Yep. Its that Android gang again." Tien said seriously. The other three looked where Tien was looking. Sure enough, there were the Android clan, resting up on a fountain across the street. At the moment, they hadn't spotted piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, or Gohan.

The android gang, or "Capulets" as they called themselves, had been rivals with Yamcha's group, the Montagues for a long time. So long that nobody could really remember what started the rivalry, only that each group was supposed to hate the other. Sitting by the fountain today were #25, #19, #22, and #17. Android 17, or Juunanagou, was the ring leader of the entire group. With his straight black hair and cold blue eyes, he was Yamcha's greatest nightmare, although he would never admit to anyone, even himself.

The Montagues stopped and watched the group of androids. They stood in silence, wondering if they should continue on, or start a fight that could result in deaths on both sides. It was Yamcha's big mouth that made the decision.

"Hey metal head!! Looking for some excitment?"

"Yamcha! What are you doing?" Tien exclaimed. Yamcha laughed.

"Oh come on. Let's put a little bounce in this day!" He had a cunning look in his eye. Gohan sighed loudly.

"Guys, let's just go. Maybe they didn't hear us." He was interrupted as Juunanagou and his gang laughed and approached the Montagues. Piccolo and Yamcha stayed their ground, while Tien and Gohan moved off to the side. Juunanagou crossed his arms across his chest and smirked.

"I guess you have a death wish, don't you human?" The android was taunting Yamcha, and Yamcha knew it. Yamcha looked down briefly and then looked up and laughed in the android's face. Juunanagou's face didn't change, but in his eyes you could see he did not like to be laughed at.

"Maybe you didn't understand my first statement. Allow me to make it more clear to you." With those words, Juunanagou grabbed Yamcha roughly by the front of his uniform and lifted him off the ground.

"You'd better stay out of our way if you want to live. One more insult and you'll have more excitment than you can handle." Junnanagou's voice was calm and even. This frightened Yamcha more than it would have if the cyborg had screamed at him. Yamcha laughed nervously. He was sweating. Lucky for him, Piccolo stepped in. He yanked the android's hand off of Yamcha and Juunanagou back. The other androids readied themselves, prepared to take everyone on if Juunanagou gave the word. He didn't though. Instead, he laughed, softly at first, and then louder until he was laughing so hard tears were streaming down his face. Yamcha, Tien, Gohan, and Piccolo, watched him, confused. Then faster than anyone could see, Juunanagou hit Piccolo sqaurly in the jaw. The namek stumbled backwards, then sprung forward in a fit of anger.

The fight was on. While Piccolo fought Juunanagou, Yamcha decided to get into the action by attacking #19. He jumped back.

"Woo yeah! Prepare for this, metal head! Fist of the Wolf Fang!!" His speed doubled, Yamcha flew at the unsuspecting android and hit him full on. Seeing that they'd better get in there and help their friend, lest Yamcha get himself killed again, Tien and Gohan jumped into the fold.

"Stop it! You guys, stop-" Gohan was interrupted as #25 delivered a powerful punch to Gohan's stomach.

"Hey!" Tien shouted. "Lay off!"

"Tien lookout!" Yamcha managed before getting hammered by 19. Tien spun around just in time to block ##22's kick. The thin android laughed hysterically and punched Tien across the face. Tien turned around a sucker punched 22, who was still laughing. 22 flew back and crashed into Junnanagou. This made Yamcha laugh hysterically. Juunanagou picked himself up off the ground, kicking 22 in the process. He started towards Yamcha, who was totally unaware that the android was walking towards him with a murderous look on his face.

"What in the hell is going on here!!!???" All the fighting abruptly ceased. Everyone turned to see the owner of the angry voice. It was Vegeta. His face was contorted in rage, and his hair seemed to stick up even farther than usual. Beside him was his wife Bulma, carrying their newborn son, Trunks.

Vegeta looked at the whole group. Juunanagou was just inches away from Yamcha, who was still laughing. Gohan was in Super Saiyan form, and flying a few inches off the ground with 25 dangling from his hands. Tien was picking himself off the ground and Piccolo was dusting off his cape. Everyone, except Yamcha, looked at the angry Saiyan prince. Vegeta clenched his fists and then shot a blast at Yamcha. It landed a foot away from him and he immediatly

stopped laughing.

"Shut up you idiot! Somebody had better tell me what the hell is going on, or there is going to be serious problems. Now answer me! What in Kame-sama's name do you think you are doing!" For a minute no one answer. Then Juunanagou folded his arms and smirked.

"Nothing we started. We were just leaving. Right boys?" There was a chorus of "Uh-huh"s.

"Wipe that look off your face, android, or I'll do it for you!" Vegeta yelled suddenly, making everyone jump. Baby Trunks began to wail. Bulma consoled him.

"I am sick and tired of you fighting every single day. Do you know how much is annoys me to have to listen to Bulma complain about it day after day after day? It's ridiculous! I swear it on my heritage as a Saiyan, if anyone starts a fight besides me I will kill you myself!" Vegeta watched them. He knew he wouldn't be able to carry out his threat on Gohan, he was too strong. But the kid never started fights anyways, so it didn't matter. Juunanagou and Yamcha, however, were another story.

Juunanagou frowned. He hated being bossed around and the fact that Vegeta was stronger than him just made it worse. With a nod to the other androids, he started down the street. Vegeta glared at Gohan. The poor kid immediatly dropped out of Super Saiyan and landed on the ground. Piccolo glared at Vegeta, but was silently glad he had stopped the fight. Without another word, Vegeta turned and stalked away, leaving the Montagues with their thoughts....
