I Didn't have a Clue-Chapter 1

Written by: Jesscheaux

Disclaimer: I did not invent nor do I own DB/Z/GT or any of the characters.

Author's notes: This is a story that's has nothing to do with SR. It'll revolve around Piccolo.
Time and things you should know: 5 years after the Cell games. Goku is gone. Krillin and 18 are
married as are Vegeta and Bulma. Trunks is 4 and Goten is 3.
Piccolo is more distant than ever, he and Dende squabble over every little thing.
Has nothing to do with the Buu saga (I haven't seen it yet)

The Namek was floating in the air, meditating; a soft blue aura surrounding his body.
He had barely moved for hours.

Dende came walking out to check on him: "Piccolo! Piccolo! Are you still alive in there?
I brought you some water."

Piccolo's eyes snapped open and he scowled at the young guardian. "Hey punk! Can't you see that I'm busy?! You
interrupted my meditating! Geez, no respect."

"G-gomen. I just wanted to bring you some water. Besides you've been at it for hours. Haven't you had enough?"

"I'll decide when I've had enough, kid. So, don't bother me, just go away."

"Gosh, you're bossy! Oooh, look at me I'm the great Namek Piccolo and I meditate all day like a sissy!" Dende began
taunting him. "HA! Great indeed. If you hadn't merged with Nail and Kami, you'd still be a no-talent nobody and a weakling."

Piccolo began getting extremely angry and burst out: "DON'T BRING THAT UP! I don't want to talk about my fusions." He
floated down to Dende and picked him up by the collar. "Hey, if I ever hear you talk like that again, I swear I'll
pulvarize you!"

Dende just smiled at him "No you won't. If you destroy me, you destroy the Dragonballs.
We wouldn't want that to happen now would we?"

Piccolo frowned "BLAST IT ALL! I forgot about that. Well, you just wait I'll find some way to get you."

"Yeah, you say that every time. I don't believe it."

"Hmmph! We'll see about that, little Mr. Guardian. Gosh, since when does a kid go around guarding the earth?!"

"Since YOU refused the position, remember? You had your chance, Piccolo, and you threw it away."

"HA! Well, I don't care anyhow. Just go back to whatever you were doing. Guarding or something."

"You are a real pain in the neck, Piccolo. Maybe if you didn't wear that cape and turban all the time you'd be more relaxed."

"My cape and turban is not a joke, Dende! It's an important part of my training! But, YOU wouldn't know about training
now would you? Weakling healer!"

"Well, we'll just see who comes crawling to me next time he's hurt."

"Never! I'd rather die! I could probably get a senzu bean before you could get to me as slow as you fly though."

"YOU! How DARE you insult my flying ability! At least I can fly, unlike some of our other brothers. Nothing is good enough
for you, is it? Well, go ahead and train your life away for all I care! That's all you ever do is train, train, train! And
what for? I mean there aren't any villains for us to conquer and the earth is peaceful and has been for years!"

Piccolo was at a loss for words (He's right.) he thought to himself (What am I doing? My life is nothing, it's all a waste
of time, this training.) and for the first time in his life, Piccolo began to feel lonely. He mentally slapped himself for
even thinking that he needed anybody, darn that Dende. (I've got to get away from here, to think, just anywhere that Dende
isn't)

Piccolo glared again at Dende and then took off up into the air.

"HEY COME BACK HERE YOU BAKA! I'M NOT THROUGH FIGHTING WITH YOU!"
Dende cried. "Oh well, Hey Mr. Popo! What's up!"

* * * * * * *

Piccolo began flying faster and faster over forests, mountains, and the ocean. He was still thinking about Dende's words and couldn't believe they effected him this much.

"Stupid kid. He doesn't know what he's talking about."

Piccolo decided he wanted to go faster so he tore off his cape and turban and let them drop to the ground below. He smirked
as he felt the wind through his antennae's and took a deep breath. He loved every minute of it.

He was flying over a town and looked at all the people passing by. There were many couples
among them and some even had children. Piccolo stopped and, from his vantage point up in the sky,
studied a young couple with interest.

(They look really happy. I wonder...........NO! I'm getting all soft and for no good reason!
Stupid humans and their dumb love. I don't need it.) Piccolo was ashamed that he even let
such a thought cross his mind. He took off away from the city and headed into a forest.
Yet, in the back of his mind, he still wondered about love and what it would feel like to
dedicate yourself to another being.


He was passing a clearing in the forest and saw a strange colored object sprawled in it.
Piccolo decided to get a better look at it and flew in.
A shocking sight beheld him as he saw a badly beaten human female.
The woman emitted a groan and opened her good eye. The other was swollen shut from being so badly bruised.
"help me" she mouthed to Piccolo and then collapsed into unconsiousness.

He had no choice but to take her back to the lookout. Piccolo gently picked her up and flew,
a little slower than usual, to his home. He frowned for a moment, (What am I thinking,
taking this human woman I know nothing about) he thought. (But she's a living being
and I've got to help her, I mean I couldn't just let her die.....)

He looked down at her and grimaced. He felt very sorry for her and wondered what could have possibly happened
that she would be beat up so badly. He studied her and thought (she'd probably be pretty, if she wasn't so messed up.
WHAT AM I THINKING?! Pretty?) Piccolo began to get very frustrated and he finally reached the lookout.

Dende came out and said cockily: "I see you're back for more. Well, bring it on,
I can take whatever you throw at me!"

Piccolo rolled his eyes, "Dende, we've got more important things to do. I found this
human beat up in a forest, can you heal her?"

"Oh my Gosh! Poor thing. Yes, I can heal her. Just put her down right here and I'll get to work."
