Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Piccolo's Heart... THE PLAY! ❯ Act IV: You Sent Her? ( Chapter 4 )

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 IV: You sent her?




Scene I: Kami's Lookout (DBZ world)


Piccolo calls forth the dragon and the sky turns dark. A huge green dragon appears filling the darkened sky. Kim looks up in awe of the Eternal Dragon Shenlong.

Piccolo: I wish for you to send this girl back to her own dimension.

Shenlong: That wish cannot be granted.

Kim: Geez, he is big. And so COOL!

Piccolo rolls his eyes but the massive dragon blushes at the young woman's compliment.

Shenlong: It was I who brought her here because of the wish she held in her heart. She could not make this wish but it was so powerful I granted it. I cannot break a wish.

Piccolo: You brought her?

Shenlong: It was actually three wishes that I decided to grant by bringing this woman here.

Kim: But I just had one wish…

Shenlong: But you are fulfilling two others' wishes by being here. Come back to me when you have another wish.

The Eternal Dragon goes back to his slumber.

Piccolo: Fuck.

Kim: That's not very nice! Especially when you said…

Piccolo: I said nothing… you need to go home.

Gohan: Um… Mister Piccolo.

Piccolo looks over to the once boy, now full grown teen.

Piccolo: Gohan… what are you doing here?

Gohan: Well, it is my day to visit Dende.

Kim: Losers… {storms off into the Lookout}

Dende: Kim… {rushes after}

Piccolo: You've grown…

Gohan: Sensei… did you really have to be so mean to her?

Piccolo {puts hand on his head}: (This headache is getting worse and worse)

Gohan: Sensei… I did miss you… where have you been?

Piccolo: You didn't need me anymore.

Gohan: (Where does he get this stuff?) Of course I needed you! (And you probably needed me too)

Piccolo {turns his back}: You don't have to try to make me feel better. I've been fine on my own.

Gohan: You know that girl is a real gift… she needs you. Did you even notice the dress she was wearing?

Piccolo {turns back to Gohan, usual uninterested look on his face}: It was purple.

Gohan {laughing and shaking his head}: Well, she is going to be here so why don't you try to get along with her?

Piccolo: She is annoying.

Gohan: So was I… I have school tomorrow… I have to go but… stick around, this weekend we are all supposed to have a gathering here. It would be nice… then you could meet Goten.

Piccolo: I guess… and you weren't annoying.

Gohan {smirking}: I was a crybaby.

Piccolo: Yeah, I guess you were. See ya, kid.

Gohan: Bye, Mister Piccolo. {Gohan leaves}

Piccolo looks towards the Lookout then he sits and meditates. With a certain two Namek's scolding him for being insensitive.




Scene II: Inside Kim's Room in the Lookout (DBZ world)

Kim lies on the bed her face smothered in the pillows. Dende has been trying to coax the woman into talking to him.

Dende: Please Kim… stop crying… He didn't mean it… He wouldn't of really sent you back.

Piccolo {stands tall in the doorway, his voice menacing}: Leave.

Dende {walking out}: If you make her cry more…

Piccolo: Scat.

Dende leaves and Kim smothers her face in the pillows even more.

Piccolo: Look, kid, you shouldn't cry because of me.

Kim {voice muffled from pillows}: Don't flatter yourself.

Piccolo {getting angry}: What do you mean?

Kim: I'm not crying because of you.

Piccolo {pulls up chair}: (This should be interesting) Then why are you crying?

Nail: #Because you're a jackass who has no heart!#

Piccolo: #Shut up#

Kim {looks at him, past tears staining her cheeks}: I don't belong here, either. All I wanted was… never mind… you don't want to hear it.

Piccolo {sits in the chair and folds his arms and legs}: I'm here so you might as well speak.

Kim {sitting up in the bed}: Are you sure?

Piccolo is getting a nice view of her dress, now.

Piccolo: Yes. (Damn, and that headache was just starting to decrease.)

Nail: #You know we would have came back if you didn't talk to her.#

Kim: I'm tired of being alone…

Piccolo: You've told me this.

Kim: I want someone who puts me on their 'top ten things to care about' list. My parents… they are the only ones… I guess I'm lucky to have them but… I need a companion… Am I ugly?

Piccolo {shocked}: No. Why would you think that?

Kim: Because no one has said I was beautiful before.

Piccolo: It must be because there isn't a word that can describe such beauty you possess. (DAMN! Where the hell did that come from?)

Kim {blushing}: You are just being nice.

Piccolo: What was your wish?

Kim: I wanted to… meet someone and fall in love. Like in the stories.

Piccolo: So he sent you to this hellhole of a world?

Kim: (Probably because I want you…) It is just as good… actually it is better than my dimension.

Piccolo: Why do you look at me like that?

Kim {blushing, AGAIN}: I… Like what?

Piccolo: The only one who has ever looked at me… like that… is Gohan. People look at me with fear… like I'm a monster… even my so-called friends… but you… you look at me like I'm a man.

Kim: Well… I just don't see you as a monster. You don't scare me.

Piccolo: Maybe you were sent here for my wish…

Kim: What wish? (Damn, I want those lips.)

Piccolo: I wanted a purpose again. Gohan doesn't need me but he pointed out that you did. I can train you, if you'd like.

Kim: Me? But I am not strong.

Piccolo: So?

Kim: I guess, I'd like that.

Piccolo: Good, we start tomorrow, then. {stands}

Kim: Thank you… Piccolo. You are a good friend.

Piccolo: (Will she stop looking at me like that?) I'm sorry. I shouldn't of tried to send you back… it is obvious, you belong here. {leaves}

Kim: (I belong here? He thinks I belong here! Whoopee! Internal party ensues!)
