Chapter Four- A Day of Firsts
Author's Note- This will come to a shock to you but I don't own DBZ or it's characters. I did makeup Nerissa so please don't take her. Please review and read my other stories like My Angel, Won't you be mine?.


"You have some power so you should be able to fly." Piccolo begins the training session.

"Fly! I can barely walk!" Nerissa shouts.

"Fly is easier than walking but we will stay here another day so I can teach you to fly."

"As you wish."

"Hey guys, LUNCH!" Bulma hollers from the inside.

Piccolo, Yamcha, Vegeta and Nerissa all so to eat. The entire family is seated at the table and Nerissa sits between Bulma and Piccolo. Nerissa looks questioningly at the food on her plate, "What is it?"

"Sushi," Piccolo whispers into her ear.

"I thought you might enjoy it, dear. I assumed mermaids ate it." Mrs. Briefs sets out water for everyone.

"What is sushi?" Nerissa asks as she pops it in her mouth.

"Raw fish," Mrs. Briefs answers.

Nerissa starts to choke on the fish and promptly spits it out. She takes the glass of water and chugs it down. The others look at her strangely.

"What was that all about, girl?" Vegeta asks the mermaid whose face is white.

"I'm sorry. I can't eat fish." Nerissa stands still slightly ill from the taste of fish.

"What do you eat?" Yamcha asks.

"Seaweed mostly, but I am willing to try new foods… just not fish." Nerissa answers still deathly pale.

"Why not?" Bulma questions.

"Think about it, Bulma. Mermaids are half-human, half-fish." Piccolo tries to explain what seems so obvious to him.

"Exactly. It's like knowing what I would taste like. Ick." Nerissa stares down at the fish, "Please excuse me." Nerissa exits the dining area.

Bulma follows her out, "I know exactly what you need… a nice hot bath. Follow me."

Bulma leads her into the bathing room, she turns on the water in the ivory tub. "There's a robe and a towel, right here." Bulma points to the pink towel and bathe robe on the bath rack.

Bulma leaves Nerissa to enjoy her bath and returns to the table.

"Where's Nerissa?" Piccolo asks, trying to act uninterested.

"Taking a bath." Bulma smirks thinking of a devious idea to be the matchmaker and get the loner a girlfriend, "I forgot to give Nerissa a towel. Piccolo, would you mind go giving her one?"

"Why me?" Piccolo looks at Bulma suspiciously.

"I need to eat and she won't mind you," Bulma slowly starts to eat the lunch before her.

"I can go get her a towel!" Yamcha offers excitedly.

"No. I'll do it!" Piccolo stands and goes gets her a towel. Bulma follows but Piccolo is too busy to notice.

Piccolo knocks on the door, "I have a towel for you."

Nerissa doesn't hear because of the running water. She is enjoying the feeling of just lying in the water.

Piccolo enters the bathing room, covering his eyes. Nerissa sits up in the water, seeing Piccolo enter, "What is it, Piccolo?" She seems to be unembarrassed by her nudity.

"I have a towel for you." Piccolo holds out the towel, looking away, which happens to be in the mirror. He gets a nice view of her reflection before he shuts his eyes.

Nerissa smiles and points to the towel rack, "But I already have one, right there."

Piccolo opens his eyes to briefly glance at the towel rack, "So you do. Darn you, Bulma."

"I could use some help though There are just so many bottles! Gosh, I must sound like a complete idiot." Nerissa blushes holding up one of the multitude of bathing bottles.

"Not at all. I'll go get Bulma." Piccolo turns to make a break for the door when he hears Nerissa sigh, "But I promised to teach you and I know this." Piccolo turns to Nerissa seeing her completely.

"Thank you," Nerissa smiles.

"Whatever," Piccolo kneels by the tub and pointing to the bottles, he explains, "The blue one is used on your hair and the red is for your skin."

"Got it!" Nerissa tries not to look at Piccolo as she begins to blush.

Piccolo begins to exit but when he opens to the door Bulma tumbles inside. She has been listening at the door. Piccolo glares as the woman gets to her feet and exits the bathing area. Nerissa is giggling, endearingly. Piccolo shuts the door and continues to bore a hole into Bulma with his intense stare.

"May I help you, Bulma?" Piccolo asks angrily.

"I just wanted you to talk to her." Bulma smiles, trying to get Piccolo to lighten up.

"Why?" Piccolo says with just as much spite as before.

"You can get in touch with your feminine side." Bulma jokes.

"I don't have a feminine side." Piccolo storms out.

Nerissa finishes her bath and puts on a bath robe and exits, "Where's Piccolo?" She asks Vegeta.

"He left." Vegeta stretches out on the couch, "But you don't need him."

"Oh I see. I just thought he'd say goodbye." Nerissa sighs.

"You're new so I'll fill you in on something," Vegeta motions for her to come sit by him on the couch.

Nerissa sits next to him and looks in the dark depths of his onyx eyes, "Really?"

"Piccolo is not from this planet. He doesn't care for anyone but himself. He also doesn't understand this planet." Vegeta tries to coax the innocent woman.

Nerissa looks off into space, "Is that so?"

"You don't understand, do you?" Vegeta asks.

"Sure, I do."

"He doesn't care about you!" Vegeta gets angry at the innocent girl.

"I know," Nerissa continues to stare into space, "I know."

****That's the end of Chapter Four. Please R&R! Is it true? Does Piccolo not care? Oh, the horror! All in the next chapter!****
