Chapter Two- Learning To Speak
Author's Note- No DBZ does not belong to me. I just borrow DBZ so I can make my own little world. Nerissa is mine. Please review.


Nerissa looks at Piccolo with her innocent eyes, uncorrupted by the land dwellers. Piccolo scoops her into his arms. She didn't protest, it is as if she trusts him with all her heart. Piccolo looks down at the woman in his arms. He never thought such a beautiful creature would grace his arms with her presence. He carefully flies up into the sky. Nerissa clutches him and buries her face into his muscular chest.

"Don't worry. I won't let you fall," Piccolo holds her tight but with care.

She moves her head from his chest and looks down at the forestland beneath her. Piccolo is trying not to fly too high so he won't frighten her. He flies fast though because it is getting very late. Piccolo watches her as she falls asleep. When he lands outside the massive complex, he doesn't wish to wake her. He covers her face with his cloak. He walks up to Capsule Corporation and rings the bell. Bulma groggily opens the door wearing her pajamas. She rubs her eyes.

Her vision adjusts, "Piccolo, what are you doing here at this hour?"

"I need to speak to your father," Piccolo answers quietly trying not to wake the woman sleeping covered in his arms.

"It's late. Can't you just come back tomorrow?" Bulma scratches her head.

"It is important that I see him, now." Piccolo whispers urgently.

"Fine, come in." Bulma opens the door and leads Piccolo into the den, "Make yourself comfortable. I'll go get my father."

"Thank you, Bulma." Piccolo says as she leaves. Piccolo lays Nerissa down, carefully, onto the couch, just as Dr.Briefs enters drinking a cup of coffee.

"What is all the fuss, Piccolo?" Dr. Briefs is apparently wide-awake.

"Come," Piccolo kneels and uncovers her face.

"She's a beaut. But what do you need me for?" Dr. Briefs stands beside the kneeling Namek.

"Have you ever heard of a mermaid?" Piccolo looks up at Dr. Briefs.

"Sure, who hasn't?" Dr. Briefs continues to drink his coffee.

"She is a mermaid, but her tail has turned into legs."

"Piccolo, I think you have been training too hard. You should rest here for the night. We will discuss this in the morning."

"I'm not crazy. I know what I saw."

"Ok, I believe you but you will still need to stay here. Bulma will show you to a room. The mermaid can sleep here." Dr. Briefs exits into his lab and Bulma lead Piccolo upstairs to a room.

The next morning, Piccolo's sleep is broken by the squeal of the mermaid. He rushes down the stairs to see Nerissa in a panicked state and the household, except Vegeta, slightly confused at the beautiful nude woman. Piccolo grabs his cloak from the couch and wraps it around her calming her.

"She really is a mermaid," Dr. Briefs states confidently sipping another cup of coffee or the same cup, who knows.

"I think she has something she wants to tell me. Can you help?" Piccolo helps Nerissa up from the floor.

"She seems to only trust you, Piccolo. If I am going to figure out something, I'll need you to stay by her side. We can't have her panicking again," Dr. Briefs drinks more coffee.

Bulma returns carrying some clothing, "These should fit her. Now how to get her to wear them."

Bulma looks at Piccolo. Piccolo's face reddens, "I guess I have to."

Piccolo takes Nerissa into the lab room with the clothes, "I need you to put these on."

Nerissa looks at Piccolo confused. Piccolo sighs and begins to unwrap the cloak from around her. She smiles and takes the clothing understanding. Piccolo breathes a heavy sigh of relief and turns away to let her dress. She taps his shoulder and he turns to her. She is wearing short jean shorts and a white v-neck shirt. Piccolo smiles at her as Dr. Briefs enters. Piccolo's smile quickly disappears, not wanting Dr. Briefs to see it.

"So how is she, Piccolo?"

"She seems to be fine. Can you do it?" Piccolo lifts Nerissa up and sets her on the lab table.

Dr. Briefs gets serious and sets down the coffee, "I came up with an idea last night. I'll just implement the language into her brain. It's dangerous but I think it's the only quick way."

"Dangerous? What do you mean dangerous?" Piccolo looks at Nerissa's innocent trusting aqua eyes.

"It could very well kill her if I am not careful but I won't let that happen. Just get her to stay still as I give her the anesthesia." Dr. Briefs picks up the needle.

Piccolo holds Nerissa firmly, telling her to stay still.

Dr. Briefs inserts the needle into her arm, "She'll fall into a deep sleep in a minute."

Nerissa lies down on the lab table and falls asleep. Dr. Briefs escorts Piccolo out and starts his operation. Piccolo leans on the wall next to the lab door, shutting his eyes and listening carefully. Dr. Briefs said it would be a couple hours.

Vegeta soon walks by, "What are you doing here, Namek?"

"Go away, Vegeta."

"I just asked you a question."

"I am here to see Dr. Briefs."

Yamcha walks up, "Hey, Piccolo, how's the girl?"

"What girl?" Vegeta smirks at Piccolo.

"I need to call Gohan." Piccolo shoves his way from Yamcha and Vegeta.

"Piccolo brought some girl here, last night. Dr. Briefs is with her in there." Yamcha points to the lab room.

"Is that so?" Vegeta smiles an evil smile.

****That's the end of Chapter Two. Please R&R! What is Vegeta up to? Will the surgery be sucessful? All in the next chapter!****
