Chapter Three- To Understand
Author's Note- Guess what? I don't own DBZ and I will never own it! But maybe Pici wants to be mine, maybe. Ok, maybe not but I do own Nerissa, so maybe I can bribe Piccolo? Please Review!

Piccolo uses the phone to call Gohan and let him know about the mermaid. After he makes his phone call, Piccolo returns to the lab room. Vegeta leans against the door arms folded.

"So, who's the girl?"

"No one," Piccolo answers with spite.

Vegeta cackles, "Right. I am going back to training. I'm watching you, Namek." Vegeta walks down the hall.

Piccolo snarls, he really can't stand Vegeta. Dr. Briefs comes out of the lab room and waves Piccolo in. Piccolo enters and nothing has changed. Piccolo waits by her side for her to wake up. After an hour of waiting, she stirs and she wakes.

"Are you alright? Can you understand me?" Piccolo asks with anticipation.

She sits up, "Yes and yes."

Her voice is new, soft and melodic, just how Piccolo imagined it would be. Piccolo smiles, pleased that he can finally understand her.

"It worked, Dr. Briefs!" Piccolo says but Dr. Briefs has already left the lab room.

"Thank you, Piccolo." Nerissa stands from the lab table.

"Here." Piccolo takes off the shell and tries to hand it back to her.

She pushes his hand away, "I gave that to you and I want you to keep it."

"Why did you change?" Piccolo asks.

"I wanted to see the world. I'm tired of being hunted. I like it here… with you." Nerissa smiles innocently.

Piccolo's face reddens, "I am flattered but you shouldn't. I'm not a good guy."

"What do you mean? You saved me from those men," Nerissa looks at Piccolo confused.

"But I… I'm not Human."

"Why are you making excuses? You don't like me?" Nerissa turns away.

"It's not that. I can't like you. I'm a Namek."

"So?" Nerissa turns back angrily.

"So… Namek's don't… can't love."

"Fine, but I still want to be a land dweller."

"Fine." Piccolo exit's the lab room with Nerissa following.

"You can't just leave me!" Nerissa shouts after Piccolo.

"And why is that?" Piccolo turns back to her.

"You care. Why else would you help me to be able to communicate? Why else would you save me from those men?"

"It's my job as the former guardian of Earth."

"You lie!" Nerissa pouts.

"Get use to it. That's how it works on the surface." Piccolo continues down the hall and down the stairs.

"Piccolo! I could trust you!" Nerissa runs after him and trips down the stairs.

Piccolo catches her before she hit's the ground, "Don't be absurd."

Nerissa stands and straightens her clothes, "Well, thanks."

"Whatever." Piccolo responds.

Vegeta leans on the door, "So… THIS is the girl."

"Grr… Vegeta get lost." Piccolo growls.

Vegeta walks up to Nerissa, takes her hand and kisses it softly, "You are very beautiful."

Nerissa smiles at Vegeta and giggles. Piccolo is getting annoyed.

"Shouldn't you go play with your son?" Piccolo says jealously.

"Shouldn't you?" Vegeta quips back.

"You have a son?" Nerissa looks at Piccolo in confusion.

"Sort of. He's like my adopted son. He is my student."

"Oh." Nerissa says still confused.

Yamcha enters, "Wow! She's gorgeous."

Piccolo sighs, "I can't leave you here with these two."

"What do you mean? Aren't they friends of yours?" Nerissa doesn't understand.

"You wanted to come with me. So come on," Piccolo exits Capsule Corp. followed by Nerissa.

"But I want to understand!"

"Don't you have friends at home?"

"Yes, but I am the last of my kind." Nerissa walks around still trying to get used to her legs.

"I feel an intriguing power coming from you."

"I want to learn things. Please I will do anything!" Nerissa says innocently.

Yamcha and Vegeta both chuckle, standing in the doorway. Piccolo glares at them, " I'm afraid I can't teach you much. All I know is fighting and pain."

"You're lying. I think you are just saying that."

"I can teach you more!" Yamcha shouts from the doorway.

Piccolo rolls his eyes, "You can't go back to the water, can you?"

"No. I gave up my mer-half. I am no longer a mermaid."

"You're human, now. I will try to teach you." Piccolo begins her first lesson.

****That's the end of Chapter Three. Please R&R! Piccolo is going to train the mermaid? Bulma plays the love doctor! All in the next chapter!****
