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 XXV: Little One
Scene I: Kim and Piccolo's house, a year later
Piccolo holds Kim close as they sleep in their bed. Kim has been at peace in the first year of their marriage. No trouble has come up… except one thing. And that one thing has decided to make her presence known at one in morning for the eighth night in a row. Kim wakes and walks over to the crib where a little girl is screaming her head off. She has light green skin and curls of brown hair.
Kim: Oh, Aria, please… can't you let me get some sleep? {picks the small girl up and pushes the curls behind her pointed ears, she stops crying}
Piccolo: She certainly has your temperament. {rolls to the other side of the bed to avoid twin eye-beams}
Kim: Guess what? You change her then! {hold the girl up over Piccolo}
Piccolo: But I did it last- alright… fine. {takes the girl into his arms}
Kim: Thank you.
Piccolo: {grumbling as he walks out the door} I did it last time. I mean she always makes me…
Piccolo takes a quick sidestep as a ki blast comes his way and blasts into the wall.
Piccolo: I am not cleaning that up.
Kim: Oh, yes, you are!
Nail: #You better do it. You remember what happened last time!#
Piccolo: {shudders} #When did she become more powerful than me? I think this is Shenlong's idea of a joke.#
Nail: #Yes, she has three very powerful creatures on her side. Shenlong, the eternal dragon. Dende, the Guardian of Earth. And Shin the Supreme Kai.#
Piccolo: {changing Aria's diaper} Stupid… stupid f-ing… how did I get myself into this? Wait… this is your fault Nail! If you didn't put those stupid thoughts of a family in my head!
Nail: #You know you love it, so put up with the grouchiness, due to lack of sleep.#
Piccolo: {picks up his cooing daughter} Oh alright… {walks in the bedroom to see Kim totally wiped out sleeping spread across the bed}
Aria: {hugs her father's neck} DA!
Piccolo: {looks at his daughter's smiling face} Did you say da?
Aria: DaDa!
Nail: #Aww… go tell Kim!!! Baby's first word!#
Aria: Dada! Dada! { squeezes Piccolo tighter}
Piccolo: {shakes Kim} Kimberly! Wake up!
Kim: {Kim falls off bed} What what? What's happened? Is the sky falling or what?
Piccolo: Look, look!!!!
Kim: {sits up and looks at Piccolo rubbing her eyes} What!?!?!
Piccolo: She said dada! She said it! Come on, Aria. Say it again!
Aria: {tilts her head and looks at Piccolo} Pu?
Kim: Piccolo… I-
Piccolo: No! She really said it!
Aria: {pulls Piccolo'a antennae}
Kim: I'm sure she did… but I have gotten five hours of sleep… total this week.
Piccolo: But… she… I… {bows head in defeat}
Aria takes the opportunity to sink her pointed teeth into Piccolo's antennae. Piccolo quickly pulls her from his antennae and she cries.
Kim: {covers ears} Five hours, Piccolo! Five hours!!!!!!
Piccolo: She said her first word!
Kim: What are you talking about? She's been saying puff for weeks now.
Piccolo: Puff is not a word. It is an evil device, you women use.
Kim: Whatever. {climbs back in bed}
Aria: PUFF! PUFF! {coos}
Piccolo: Please say dada again!
Aria: Dada?
Piccolo: See? {looks at Kim who has fallen back asleep} NOOOOOOOO!
Kim: {throws pillow} Shut up! I heard her. She said dada… It's a damn miracle. She's a genius.
Piccolo: {peels pillow from face} Fine. I get the picture. {puts Aria in her crib}
Kim: Tomorrow's our anniversary, you know.
Piccolo: I know. {smirks}
Kim: {goes to sleep}
Piccolo: {picks Aria back up and carries her into the main room so Kim can get some sleep}
Aria: Genius.
Piccolo: Yes, you are. {sits down and puts the girl in the crook of his arm} (If the guys saw me now, I'd never live it down.) {meditates with the little girl asleep in his arms drooling on his gi.}
Scene II: Morning
Kim wakes after having a really good sleep. She feels rested for the first time since she figured out she was pregnant. She quickly gets up and sees two people are missing.
Kim: (No wonder I could sleep.) Piccolo?
Piccolo: {walks in carrying Aria whose face is covered in what looks to be applesauce} I'm going to give this girl here a bath.
Aria: BATH! {gurgles}
Kim: You… fed her?
Piccolo: I've watched you… and I actually managed to get more in her mouth than on my shirt. {Piccolo's gi is in fact covered in applesauce}
Kim: I see. Well, what time is it?
Piccolo: Clock. {points to the clock and walks out}
Kim: {rubs head} Gee thanks. {looks at clock which reads eleven.} ELEVEN! I haven't done that in awhile!
Piccolo: #Yeah, well, don't get used to it.#
Nail: #You need to zap a new shirt.#
Aria: {splashes Piccolo for the eight bizillionth time.} Dada!
Piccolo: #I think I'll wait.#
Nail: #If she keeps this up, she'll run out of water.#
Piccolo: Stop it, Aria.
Aria: {bottom lip quivers and she bursts into tears}
Kim: {walks in wearing her usual jeans and a t-shirt} What did you do this time?
Piccolo: She's already learned how to whine.
Kim: You did say she had my temperament. Let me finish here why you go change into something else.
Piccolo: No, I'll do it.
Aria: PUFF! {splashes Piccolo, again}
Piccolo: She's done. {picks her up with the towel}
Aria: Wet! {pokes Piccolo's chest}
Piccolo: Yes, I am.
Kim: Alright. I guess I'll go eat something. {leaves}
A knock comes at the door. Piccolo rushes to the door before Kim could even get up. Bulma stands in the doorway with chibi Trunks.
Kim: Who is it, Picci-chan?
Piccolo: Umm… Bulma and Trunks are going to watch Aria for today.
Kim: Oh, I see. Did you plan something special for today?
Bulma: Oh, she's so darling!!!!! {lifts Aria into her arms}
Trunks: Why do I have to be here, again?
Bulma: Punishment… unless you rather me tell your father.
Trunks: {sweat drop} Fine…
Piccolo: {zaps clothes} Coming Kimberly?
Kim: I gotta say goodbye to Aria. {takes Aria}
Aria: Puff!
Kim: Puff!
Aria: Puff! Puff! {puffs her cheeks up}
Kim: Puff! Puff!
Piccolo: Why me? {shakes his head}
Aria: Puff? {tilts head at Piccolo}
Kim: Alright, be good, now. We will be back later.
Aria: Mama!
Kim: {melts} She said mama.
Piccolo: Come on… let's go…
Kim: {reluctantly hands Aria over to Bulma} Bye bye. {waves}
Aria: {waves as Piccolo and Kim leave} Bye Dada, Mama.
NEXT: The one year anniversary… well, Kim and Piccolo have the day off from parenting. What are they to do?
