Piccolo's Heart

Key: This is going to be like a play… most of my stories are dialogue anyhow. If a person is thinking it, it will be in parentheses. If a person is speaking telepathically, it will be in pound signs. The chapters will be dived by acts consisting of scenes. Got it? Good.

Setup: Piccolo has been wandering Earth for five years after Cell… trying to find his life's purpose. No one of the Z squad has seen him since Goku's death, not even Gohan.

Act I: The Meeting




Scene I: A forest (DBZ world)

Piccolo is floating in a meditative style beneath a waterfall letting the water pound against his back. His clothing is drenched and there is no telling how long he has been there.

Piccolo- (Life… what is the point? All the others have lives to go to. Me?)

Nail {to Piccolo}- #You've got me and Kami! And what about Gohan?#

Piccolo {to Nail}- #Wow, big accomplishment… I get to hear you dead guys bicker twenty-four/seven. Gohan is in school and Chi-chi won't let me near him or his brother#

Nail- #What is it you want?#

Piccolo {out loud}- I really don't know.

Kami- #I know. All three of us, feel the same… we want a family.#

Piccolo {scowling}- A family! Like hell! I don't want a family.

Kami- #Liar#

Piccolo {seriously pissed}- I don't want a family! And anyways just because I am an evolved Namek… Humans are weak.

Nail- #You think lowly of yourself#

Piccolo- #What are you talking about? You are stupid!#

Nail- #That hurt… that really hurt.#

Kami- #Now, you two… Piccolo, you know you are jealous of the others.#

Piccolo gets up from the waterfall and splashes into the lake, trying to drown out their voices.

Kami- #Piccolo, you need to stop this. If you keep torturing yourself…#

Piccolo- #It is my body! If I want to kill myself, I can!#

Nail- #You need a woman.#

Piccolo {resurfaces}- #Women are insignificant… weak… and I've never met one I liked.#

Nail- #You mean you never met one who liked you.#

Piccolo- #Both!#

Nail- #What about Bulma?#

Piccolo {snarling}- #Bitch.#

Nail- #Alright… Android 18?#

Piccolo {smirking}- #Bitch.#

Nail- #… Should I even ask… Chi-chi?#

Piccolo {growling}- #Queen of the bitches.#

Kami- #So your background of woman is flawed… Go into the city and pick up a nice one.#

Piccolo- #If you haven't noticed… I am an ALIEN!#

Nail- #Hey, there are some girls who have alien fetishes.#

Piccolo {holding his ears}- I did not need to hear that.

Nail- #Oh come on! You aren't even trying! I want to watch!#

Kami and Piccolo {simultaneously}- #NAIL!#

Nail- #Boy you guys suck!#

Piccolo {thoughtfully}- It would be nice to have a child of my own to train

Kami- #It would give you a purpose…#

Piccolo- This doesn't mean I am going to have sex with the first woman I see!

Nail- #Of course not… she has to be hot!#

Piccolo {shaking his head}- #Why am I listening to you? I hate women… and I will always hate them… They are just too weak.#

Nail- #And they are frightened of you!#

Piccolo {snarling}- #I hate it… they stare and point and scream… we will just have to think of something else because there is no way I am going to find myself with a woman.#

Nail- #Then why did you choose to evolve?#

Piccolo- #Just… leave me alone… you both promised you'd let me lead my life!#

Nail- #If that is what you wish.#

Kami- #We will leave you alone.#

Piccolo breathes a sigh of relief as he relaxes in the water. It has been a tough year, almost non-stop training. Now is his off-day.

Piccolo- (If I found the right woman… what am I thinking? This isn't me… Nail!)

Nail- #Okay so I am rubbing off on you… so what?#

Piccolo {growls intimidating}- #You are such a jackass. Nail! I liked being alone until I fused with you. Now all I hear is Piccolo do this and Piccolo you should do this and why don't you be nicer? I am not a nice guy! I am evil!#

Kami- #Piccolo, you are about as evil as that tree.#

Piccolo {looks up at one of the trees}- #That is a very evil looking and intimidating tree.#

Kami- #Yeah but it doesn't do any harm, no matter how evil it looks.#

Piccolo- #Your thinking is flawed.#

Nail- #If I can find a woman who likes you with all your many faults… and one that you will like with all her faults… will you settle down with her?#

Piccolo {smirking}- #If you can find me the perfect woman, not only would I settle down with her… I would do much… much more..#

Nail- #Then it's a deal! If I find you the woman for you, you will marry her.#

Piccolo- #Deal. Good luck.#

Nail- #Now let's go into the city…#

Piccolo- #Nope… I'm not helping.#

Nail- #That's not fair! Come on… at least let me talk to Gohan… Maybe he can get you… a blind date.#

Piccolo- #Nope…#

Nail- #PICCOLO! Come on! You are such a loser!#

Piccolo {angry and snarling}- #What did you call me?#

Nail- #A loser and a chickenwuss!#

Piccolo {Growling angrily}- #Fine. We will go into the city!#




Scene II: An apartment in the suburbs (real world)

A young teenage girl sits on the floor in her apartment. She is eighteen and has hazelnut brown hair to her shoulders and the same hazelnut eyes. Her clothes are black; a t-shirt and jeans. Her room has various anime posters and figurines. She is entranced by the television until the credits roll. She clicks off the television and lies down on her Dragonball Z comforter. Her name is Kimberly but her friends call her Kim.

Kim- (Life sucks! I should be at the party with everyone else.)

She smothers her face in the pillows. She looks at the picture of Piccolo on her comforter with tears in her eyes.

Kim- Oh, there you are. Here to see me cry again. I bet you are getting tired of this.

She runs her small fingers along the picture of Piccolo.

Kim- My friends think I'm crazy. I'm in love with a cartoon character! An asexual one at that!

She gets up off the bed and plops down on the floor.

Kim- I am so lonely. What I wouldn't give to be in DBZ… and meet him. He could tell me how to cope.

A light fills the room.



Scene III: A city (DBZ world)

Piccolo is walking along the sidewalks of a very populated city. The intimidating giant has caused quite a stir. Piccolo glares at the men and women who are staring at him. Piccolo stops and glances in a store window.

Piccolo- I knew this wouldn't work.

Nail- #You haven't even tried! That red haired one is gorgeous and that BLOND!#

Piccolo- #Weak and scared.#

Nail- #You need to put some effort into this.#

Piccolo hears a car screech as it skids to a stop behind. He turns to see a woman in the road. She staggers to her feet to cross. Piccolo sees a car about to hit her. He runs and pushes her out of the road. Planting his feet, he stops the car racing towards him. Once the car is stopped, Piccolo goes to the woman, the teenage girl Kim.

Piccolo {scowling}- What are you blind or just plain stupid?

Kim {standing wearily}- Piccolo? (Oh God, what has happened? Damn… he is so… large.)

Piccolo grabs Kim by the front of her shirt. He pulls her up so she is eye level with him. Her feet are a good foot and a half of the ground.

Piccolo- How do you know my name?

Kim- Oh god… {she faints}

Piccolo {Holds the woman in his arms}- Oh hell.

Kami- #She isn't from here. She is human but… I sense nothing from her. It is as if she doesn't belong in this world.#

Piccolo- #Then how does she know my name?#

Nail- #That doesn't matter now. Get out of here with her. People are looking at you strangely.#

Piccolo {looking around at the many faces staring with shock}- #Yes, but I can't just take her. That is kidnapping.#

Nail- #Oh, you are all high and mighty, now. You wouldn't dare take someone away and kidnap them!#

Piccolo- #Gohan was one thing but she's a… girl and she's older!#

Nail- #At least outside the city!#

Kami- #Piccolo, she is not from here. Just take her to Dende.#

Piccolo- #I wouldn't make it by nightfall.#

Nail- #Then take her to your cave. It's not kidnapping if she doesn't belong here.#

Piccolo {with a look of disgust}- Oh hell.
