Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Piccolo's Heart... THE PLAY! ❯ Act IX: Trust Me ( Chapter 9 )

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 IX: Trust Me





Scene I: Kami's Lookout: Outside


Kim looks high and low for Piccolo. She sees green and chases after it tackling poor unsuspecting Dende to the ground.

Dende: KIM! {stands brushing dirt from him, a purple tint to his cheeks}

Kim: Sorry, I thought your were Pici… Where is he? I've been looking for him for an hour… this place is bigger than it looks! {gets to her knees and looks up at Dende}

Dende: I don't know where Piccolo is. He left while you were helping Gohan unpack. I think he thinks you like Gohan.

Kim: Well, of course I like Gohan! Gohan is like a son to Piccolo, how can I not like Gohan?

Dende: Like like…

Kim: Oh… where on earth did he get that idea?

Dende: I don't know but I tried to convince him otherwise. I told him to go see for himself. He went towards Gohan's room, you didn't see him?

Kim: Nope… he never came in.

Dende: It must have overheard something… what were you two talking about?

Kim {scratches her head}: (He couldn't… I tell you, when you assume…) Dende… I got to find Piccolo! I think he might of misunderstood something.

Dende: I haven't been able to locate him.

Kim: I have to do something… Piccolo doesn't understand…

Dende: You'll have to figure out what to do.

Kim: THE DRAGONBALLS! Of course! {runs over to the dragonballs.}

Dende: Are you sure you wish to use one of your wishes for this?

Kim: If I don't… I may never be able to get Piccolo! ARISE DRAGON!

Shenlong appears and seems angry until he spots the distress on Kim's face.

Shenlong: What is it, little one? Do you have a wish?

Kim: I need to find Piccolo… he has run off with a stupid idea in his head.

Shenlong: I feared that. He seemed to have the crazed idea that you and Gohan were in love.

Kim: I know… Can you please send me to him? I need to talk to him.

Shenlong: You wish to go to him? I can do that but are you sure you wish to waste one of your two wishes?

Kim: It is not a waste… please!

Kim disappears.

Shenlong: It has been done.

Shenlong returns inside the dragonballs.

Dende: Good luck, Kimberly… You'll definitely need it.






Scene II: Hot Springs: Just seconds before Kim's wish


Piccolo sighs, it has been an hour… an hour of silence.

Piccolo: It doesn't bother me, Kami. The silence is perfectly fine.

Kim appears and splashes into the water.

Kim: PICCOLO! {smiles} (Boy, I thought he'd go to a cave or a mountain, not a hot spring!)

Piccolo {blushing}: What do you want? And how the hell did you get here?

Kim: Well, you see, I looked all over the Lookout for you. The Lookout is a pretty big place. I thought Dende was you and so he told me how you thought I was in love with Gohan.

Piccolo {sinks into the water some more}: (This steam better cover…) Get on with it.

Kim: We figured you must have listened into my conversation with Gohan and drawn some conclusion… so since we couldn't locate you… I used one of my wishes to bring me here.

Piccolo: You used one of your wishes?

Kim: You know Pici… {wades through the water, closer to him} when you assume… it makes an ass out of u and me.

Piccolo: Clever, so you are saying you do not have feelings for Gohan?

Kim: No, I love Gohan… just as you love him… You don't see me accusing you of being in love with him! Gohan is like a little brother and Goten… even more so.

Piccolo: I blew it? But what was his wish then?

Kim: He wanted someone to see you as he sees you. He wanted you to feel love and be loved… He just wanted you to be happy, Piccolo.

Piccolo: I jumped to conclusions… I don't usually do stuff like that.

Nail: #Dumbass.#

Kami: #What did we tell you?#

Nail: #Caught with your pants down… {snickers}#

Piccolo: Kim… forgive me?

Kim: Already done… I mean if you can put up with my antics I can surely put up with a little jumping to conclusions. Damn, where are we? It is so beautiful.

Piccolo: (Doesn't she realize I'm naked?) A hot spring.

Kim: (Duh!) Where?

Piccolo {shrugs}: I just ran across it. I have no idea.

Kim: Look at me… My gi is soaked.

Kim's lavender gi is drenched and it clutches to every curve of her body.

Piccolo: (Did she have to point that out? Now I can't stop staring…) So it is… (Maybe I should materialize some clothing… at least pants…)

Kim: So… um… Piccolo… do you think we can stay at the Lookout? Gohan… he needs us.

Piccolo: Fine… (Dammit, I can't concentrate enough to make the damn clothing!)

Kim: (What is wrong with him? He is like staring at me…) Piccolo? What's wrong?

Piccolo: (Oh shit… this is not good)

Kim: (Oh gosh… I didn't even realize… he's bathing… he must be…) {blushes} I get it… I'm sorry… {turns}

Piccolo: (Finally, geez, she doesn't focus on things well) {materializes gi on himself} You can turn, now.

Kim: You could have said something… I mean I just assumed-

Piccolo: Yeah well, when you assume…

Kim: Very funny, har har.

Piccolo: You are very intriguing.

Kim: (Suspicion, again, maybe I should just tell him)

Piccolo: I know you told Dende… but still you will not tell me.

Kim: If I could I would but I am afraid if you knew it would only cause trouble.

Piccolo: I will trust your judgment.

Kim: Good, cause I am not going to tell you. Not even if you throw a hissyfit.

Piccolo: Hissyfit?

Nail: #You always throw hissyfits!#

Piccolo: Whatever.

Kim: Piccolo… I'm sorry.

Piccolo {raises an eye ridge}: For what?

Kim: Me.

Piccolo {grabs Kim's shoulders and pulls her into his embrace}: Don't be.

Kim: Are you sure?

Piccolo: Yes… you are… perfect. (Complete… you make me complete… and happy)

Kim: K! {kisses his cheek}
