Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Piccolo's Heart... THE PLAY! ❯ Act XIII: Almost Time ( Chapter 13 )

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 XIII: Almost Time




Scene I: Hyperbolic Time Chamber: Day 155


Piccolo watches impressed with Kim's power. She is fighting one of his clone-thingies when he splits into two. Piccolo smiles, he sees that she has become even more powerful than he could imagine and with her he has become more powerful. Kim's skills have increased tremendously but they aren't even half-way done with the year.

Piccolo-original: It is time to go.

Kim: But we still have things to do today.

Piccolo-original {glares at Kim}: I am the one who gives the orders around here. You have had enough today… and so have I.

Piccolo-clone: Lovers quarrel… {shakes his head in dismay}

Kim: Oh, shut up. {blast Piccolo-clone with a ki blast that knocks him down for the count} Fine, now we can go.

Piccolo-clone: Damn.

Piccolo-original: Good girl. That was very nice.

Kim: I'm not through with you…

Piccolo-original {fuses back with Piccolo-clone}: (I have created a monster…) I know, Kimberly… I know. {flies towards the facilities.}

Nail: #You are so whipped!#

Piccolo: #Am not.#

Kami: #Piccolo… Kim's not following…#

Piccolo {turns back to see Kim has collapsed with exhaustion}: Kim! Dammit!

Piccolo flies and picks up the unconscious girl, cradling her in his arms.

Piccolo: #Thanks Kami, I wouldn't have noticed until I got there and then I would have never been able to find her… Where have you been, anyways?#

Kami: #There is no need for me to interfere in your life, anymore. You have made the right choice…#

Nail: #Now I get to interfere for the both of us!!!!#

Piccolo {lands and sets Kim on the bed}: Hmm… {goes in the bath area and gets a damp cloth}

Piccolo kneels by the bed and dabs her forehead with the damp cloth.

Piccolo: You rest. Don't even think about getting up. (Silly girl. You didn't even realize how exhausted you were. Good thing I know you…)

Nail: #You know how lucky you are… right? She is an amazing woman.#

Piccolo: I know, Nail. I know.

Piccolo watches Kim as she rests. He smiles as he realizes just how lucky he is. Kim wakes.

Kim: Piccolo?

Piccolo {quickly hides smile}: I told you, you had had enough. Now you need to keep resting. Tomorrow we will have to take it easy and then back to training.

Kim: Oh! Alright! Geez, getting an I told you so from Piccolo of all people!

Piccolo: Yes, well… back to sleep.





Scene II: Hyperbolic Time Chamber: Last Day


Kim powers up to her full power. She has the power of a Super Saiyain at level two and Piccolo has the same level of power. The bond that links them has caused this increase of power. But even though they share a mental bond, Kim still blocks the future from her beloved.

Piccolo {pleased}: Very good.

Kim: Thanks! I bet with our connection if we were in the tournament as one person, we could even beat Goku!

Piccolo: That is probably true. But the tournament isn't what matters.

Kim: Right. And you better not forget your promise!

Piccolo: What do you mean?

Kim: We get married, after I take care of Babidi.

Piccolo: Babadi?

Kim: Yep… but forget him. We are totally gonna get married!

Piccolo {sighs}: (Damn.) Yes. I know.

Kim: {pokes Piccolo's chest} You thought you were going to get out of it. Well, no way!

Piccolo {smirks}: I wouldn't dare even dream of escaping from such a promise. But you are going to be subtle until we break the news, right?

Kim {wagging her finger at him}: Do you really think you can keep your hands of me for that long?

Piccolo: Do you think you can?

Kim: Hey! I'm not the one who usually makes the initiative.

Piccolo: Oh yeah! You know good and well what you do! You practically beg me to kiss you.

Kim {fold arms}: I do not!

Piccolo: I have two witnesses who say you do!

Nail: #Hey! Do not bring me into this!#

Kami: #Nor me.#

Piccolo: Damn you two!

Kim: Oh, Piccolo. Let's stop being silly! I'm sure we can subdue our relationship until the others either figure it out or we tell them.

Piccolo: I'm sure we can if you stop being so damn… cute. {grabs her and hugs her}

Kim: Cute? Cute is not a good word to use, Pici. I do not call you cute.

Piccolo: Then stop being sexy.

Kim: Better. Well, one last kiss until we subdue our passions?

Piccolo: Sure. {kisses Kim}

Kim: Ready, darlin'?

Piccolo: Don't call me cutesy names.

Kim: Okay, sensei, sir! {salutes}

Piccolo: I give up! {throws hands up in defeat}

Kim: Oh, come on, that is no fun!

Piccolo: Fun is not in my vocabulary.

Kim: So what we did last night wasn't fun? {pouts}

Piccolo: (NO! Dammit! I fell for it again! Oh Hell!) #Nail, quick!#

Nail: #Call her sweetie and apologize.#

Piccolo: #I will not.# {looks at Kim's pouting face} Of course it was fun, {teeth-clenched} sweetie. I didn't mean it. I'm sorry.

Nail: #HA! Whipped!#

Piccolo: #Shut the hell up!#

Kim: Alright. That's good enough for me. {opens door with a smile}

Piccolo: After you. {shoves her out the door}

Kim trips and falls into Gohan who was waiting for their return with Dende and Mr. Popo. Gohan catches her and stands her upright as Piccolo exits.

Piccolo: {To Kim, telepathically} #Already in another man's arms? How quick we forget?#

Kim: #I wouldn't have been here if you didn't shove me into him.#

Piccolo: #You should have known what was going to happen.#

Kim: #Stupid!# {sticks tongue out at Piccolo}

Piccolo: Mature as ever.

Gohan {blushing}: Glad to have you guys back, both safe and sound.

Dende: So… {looking from Kim to Piccolo and back to Kim} was everything alright?

Kim: I'd say! I can totally take you on, Gohan! {pats Gohan on the head} And I'm just a human female.

Gohan {laughing}: I wouldn't dream of fighting you, anyways. I think you are a little too vicious for me!

Kim: Says the one who fought Cell! Geez, what an insult! I have got to get into some different clothes! {runs to her room}

Gohan: So Piccolo…

Piccolo: No comment. I need some time to meditate before the tournament. Maybe I can dull the headache.

Dende: Aw, it couldn't have been that bad!

Gohan: Yeah. I mean you must have accomplished something if she is that confident in her power.

Piccolo: Yes, she has improved much.

Gohan: Wow! I guess we have to start sending out the wedding invitations!

Piccolo {pales}: WHAT! (How the hell does he know?)

Gohan: Geez, Piccolo! It was a joke! You never say a good thing about Kimberly.

Dende: Unless we should be sending wedding invitations out? {smiles knowingly at Piccolo}

Gohan: Did something happen? A year is a long time… maybe… just maybe… you actually started to like her.

Piccolo {blushing}: How absurd!

Dende: I'll stuff the envelopes if you seal them, Gohan. {smiling at Gohan}

Piccolo: We trained… that's all!

Kim comes out wearing a sports bra and bicycle shorts. She has her hair up in a ponytail.

Kim: I'm ready for the tournament!

Piccolo: Not wearing that, you're not.

Gohan {laughing}: Ha! That proved it! You and Kim are more than friends!

Dende: Oh just admit it!

Piccolo: Fine! We're engaged! Just keep it to yourselves! {blushing}

Dende and Gohan go into hysterics and finally Gohan, Kim and Piccolo leave for the tournament, with Dende making out wedding invitations.
