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 II: Trying To Understand




Scene I: Piccolo's cave (DBZ world)


A fire burns in the entrance to a cave. Piccolo meditates with Kim still unconscious, lying where she was carelessly placed. Piccolo floats slightly off the ground with his legs and arms crossed. His eyes are focused on the young woman. Kim wakes and sits up.

Piccolo- Who are you?

Kim- My name is Kim.

Piccolo- I didn't ask for your name. I asked who you are.

Kim- Well I feel that question has no boundaries.

Piccolo- Fine. Where do you come from?

Kim {smirking}- Sure as hell, not from here.

Piccolo- Girl! Don't you understand I can kill you, easily?

Kim- Namek! Don't you understand I know who you are?

Piccolo {cocking an eye ridge}- That is another question, how?

Kim stands and walks along the cave walls, running her fingers over the slimy surface.

Kim- That question… hmm… you wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Piccolo- Girl!

Piccolo grabs a slightly stunned Kim by the front of her shirt and pins her against the cave wall.

Kim {blushing}- All you had to do was ask.

Piccolo {his cheeks are slightly purple}- Girl! You will start giving me some straight answers.

Kim- Look! I have no clue how I got here, ok! I know what I know and that is what I know.

Piccolo {drops her and she falls on her behind}- I didn't ask how you got here! I want to know where you are from.

Kim {rubbing her now sore, bruised behind}- Earth, Terra, third rock from the Sun, the Water planet…

Piccolo {growling}- I am warning you.

Kim- I don't know… on my Earth… my Earth… my Earth! I'm from another dimension! (Good, nice one, Kim! Very smooth…)

Piccolo- Another dimension, is that possible?

Kami- #Very possible… it would explain much.#

Nail- #She's kinda cute… especially when she is blushing.#

Piccolo- ARG!

Kim {smiling}- Having an internal debate with your two friends?

Piccolo- How the hell do you know about them?

Kim {giving Piccolo the naughty-naughty finger}- No no… I can't reveal my sources.

Piccolo {rolls eyes}- Am I ever going to get a straight answer out of you?

Kim- Probably not.

Piccolo {folding arms and looking down at Kim who is still on her bum}- You are a very annoying creature.

Kim- I'm a woman. It's in our job description.

Piccolo- Women.

Kim- You just don't understand 'em. {she points up at the Namek} I just think you haven't met one who knew you so well.

Piccolo {looks away}- You don't know me.

Kim- Oh! Is that so? You are lonely and you are just too big to admit it!

Piccolo- Yeah right. You are just a child. You think you understand me.

Nail- #She knows you well. She is playing you!#

Kami- #She's the one!#

Piccolo- #NO WAY!#

Kim {stands finally}- You think I am a weak child? I'll show you!

Piccolo- Is that a challenge? (She has no power level… wait I don't sense even a small power level from her! This isn't right.)

Kim- Me? Challenge the mighty Namek Piccolo? Never! I wouldn't dare. (Especially since I can't fight… if only I had a sword… wait that wouldn't do shit.)

Piccolo {looks at the girl who is trying to intimidate him}- Look! I am going to take you to Kami's Lookout.

Kim- Oooo! I can meet Dende!

Piccolo- How the hell do you know all this?

Kim {tilts her head}- PUFF! ~~AN: I have this thing with randomly saying puff it comes and goes. Just ask my friends ;) ~~

Piccolo {utterly confused but trying not to show it}- WOMAN!

Kim- MAN! Oh wait! ASEXUAL BEING!

Piccolo {smirking}- (hmm… I think I'll let her continue to think that. Apparently she doesn't know everything.) So woman, shall we go?

Kim- I'll go but, not until you say me name.

Piccolo- (dammit, what was her name again?)

Nail- #Kim, you ass.#

Piccolo- Fine, Kim. Let us go.

Kim {squeals}- YEY!

Piccolo {grabbing ears}- Don't do that!

Kim {bowing head}- Sorry, Pickles.

Piccolo- Pickles? Don't call me names.

Kim- Okay, Pici!

Piccolo {sighing}- This is why I hate women.

Nail- #Oh you know you like her!#

Piccolo- #Do not!#

Kim- So you gonna fly me there or what?

Piccolo- WHAT? You can't fly?

Kim- No one can fly in my dimension. At least not that I know of! {giggles}

Piccolo- Dammit! I don't want to carry you!

Kim- Are you implying I'm pudgy? {pouts}

Piccolo- No.

Kim {smiling}- It was a joke, silly. So lets go!




Scene II: The sky somewhere over Earth (DBZ world)


A very disgruntled Namek named Piccolo is flying through the air and within his arms is a very happy teenage girl, Kim. She squeals as Piccolo insists on going faster, not to please to girl, just to rush the trip.

Piccolo- (What I wouldn't give for instant transmission or a set of ear plugs!)

Nail- #She likes you, she is blushing again.#

Piccolo- #I think she just blushes a lot.#

Kami- #She's so cute and innocent. She reminds me of Gohan.#

Piccolo- #Then Gohan can date her.#

Kim- Mister Piccolo…

Piccolo {looking down at the woman in his arms}- What?

Kim- I… I… I think I was brought here cause I wished to come here. I wanted to ask you something.

Piccolo- What? (This better not be some joke. This is the first time she has been straight-forward.)

Kim- Um… How do you cope?

Piccolo- With what?

Kim- Being alone? {she forces herself to break eye contact with Piccolo}

Piccolo- {shocked} Alone? Why would you want to know that?

Kim- I'm… I'm lonely… it hurts. {she forces herself to hold back the tears to be strong.}

Piccolo- (How can she be lonely? She… she doesn't know what alone is!)

Kim- I used to have friends… but they all went their separate ways… I doubt they even think about me… I want to… They all have boyfriends or girlfriends and… {her face is bright red} I never even have kissed a boy.

Piccolo {utterly shocked but keeps his stone face}- How do I cope? I meditate and focus on training, making myself stronger.

Nail- #She sounds like she has the same problem you do, Pickles.#

Piccolo- #Don't pick up her names for me!#

Nail- #Oh… you only want your snookumwhookums to say them?#

Piccolo- #NO!#

Kim- Do you ever get lonely?

Piccolo- Of course not!

Kim- Will you be my friend?

Piccolo- (Dammit she is…) I guess.

Kim {hugs him}- Thanks, Pici.

Piccolo- Stop with the names!

Kim {breaks the hug and points}- Wow! We're there!

Piccolo- (I thought she was never going to let me go.)

Kami- #You enjoyed it.#

Nail- #You are blushing!#

Piccolo- #Am not. Man, can't you guys leave me alone.#

Nail- #If you admit you like her!#

Piccolo- #I guess she is kinda cute, in her own annoying sort of way.#

And Nail and Kami did not respond even though a slight snicker could be heard. And it was true… Piccolo is blushing as he looks at the woman lying in his arms. A woman that appears to be so happy and carefree but he can see the sadness and loneliness in her eyes, those brilliant brown eyes.
