Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Piccolo's Heart... THE PLAY! ❯ Act XXVII: Who's Training Who? ( Chapter 27 )

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 XXVII: Who's Training Who?





Scene I: A Few Weeks Later


Kim is training with Vegeta while Piccolo is off, Kami knows where, training with Goku. Aria is watching Vegeta and Kim train. She is sitting in the grass staring in the sky as the two spar yet again. And surprisingly she is following the warriors, easily.

Kim: GETA! Let me get a drink.

Vegeta: We have only been at this for four hours.

Kim: Yeah, well, someone has to feed Aria! {dodges barrage of punches and kicks from Vegeta and lands a nice punch to his face}

Vegeta: {wipes blood from mouth} Fine. {lands by Aria who stares up at him, her cheeks puffed}

Kim: {lands}

Vegeta: What is with her? {points at the girl who is giving him a death glare, equal to his own but is slightly diminished by the fact her cheeks are puffed up and she's just a baby}

Kim: It is the first time she watched. I think she was afraid we were actually fighting.

Vegeta: She followed us with her eyes. Not many can do that, and she's not even a year old.

Kim: {picks up Aria} It's alright, Aria. We were just training.

Vegeta: Yeah, kid. {ruffles the girls hair}

Aria: Wawa. {grabs her mother's gi}

Kim: Okay… {goes inside with Vegeta following}

Aria: {cheeks deflate as she is taken to the kitchen}

Kim: I'm sure you're- {turns and sees Vegeta is already in the refrigerator} hungry.

Vegeta: So what do you think the kid wants other than water? {shuffles through icebox}

Kim: (Oh my God, he is looking for food for Aria!) Um, well, we'll go with applesauce today. But beware, she likes to fling applesauce.

Vegeta: {grabs the applesauce and a spoon and even the baby bottle of water AND a glass of water for Kim ~~AN: What a gentleman!~~} Alright. Applesauce it is.

Kim: {sits down with Aria in her lap} Thanks.

Vegeta: {sets the food down on the table} I'm going to take a shower. {leaves}

Kim: I guess you scrunching up your nose whenever he got near, finally set in. {giggles}

Aria: Puff? {tilts head and reaches for water but it is out of reach} Wawa! {she opens and closes her hands stretching her little arm out}

Kim: {hands her the bottle of water} I guess I need to wash up, too. But, first. {unscrews applesauce}

Aria: {sucks on the baby bottle}

Kim: Now, don't you go and drink it all. {takes the bottle from Aria, causing her to puff up her cheeks} Here. {holds the spoon of applesauce in front of her mouth}

Aria: Wawa! {turns head}

Kim: No. Applesauce. You can't live off water. (Well, Piccolo can but she's human too…)

Aria: {turns back head and eats applesauce} Wawa!

Kim: First, applesauce then wawa! {gets another spoon of applesauce}

Aria: {grabs spoon and feeds herself} Wawa?

Kim: Fine. I give up. {gives her back the bottle of water before Aria decides to make the applesauce projectile}

Aria: {drinks the water with a huge grin on her face}

Kim: {drinks her glass of water}

Aria: Wawa? {hands the empty bottle to Kim}

Kim: That's enough for now.

Aria: Wawa?

Vegeta comes back clad in a towel, this time he rummages through the fridge for food for himself.

Kim: Must you walk around in just a towel?

Vegeta: Why? {smirks as he looks over his towel} Too tempting for you?

Kim: No! {blushes and acts indignant} It's just not right. Can you watch Aria while I go get a shower, myself?

Vegeta: I guess, but don't expect me to feed her or change her or anything.

Kim: Of course not. Here. {hands Aria to Vegeta and goes to take shower}

Vegeta: {hold Aria awkwardly} Why the hell am I doing this?

Aria: Wawa?

Vegeta: What is it with you and water? {grabs another baby bottle out of the fridge and gives it to her, then sits down with food for himself}

Aria: {sucks on her baby bottle, happily, watching Vegeta eat} Wawa? {hands Vegeta the empty bottle}

Vegeta: No.

Aria: No.

Vegeta: {glares at the kid sitting on the table} Strange kid.

Aria: {takes spoon in applesauce and flings it in Vegeta's face} Wawa.

Vegeta: {wipes applesauce off face} That kid's quick. No, water and no applesauce. {picks up Aria}

Aria: Puff.

Vegeta: Learn a new word, will you?

Kim: Everything okay? {comes out in bath robe}

Vegeta: Here, she downed another bottle of water.

Kim: Wow. {takes Aria} You like your wawa, don't you?

Aria: {giggles} Puff!

Vegeta: Sometimes I wonder, just who is training who, here.





Scene II: Kami knows where


Piccolo is training with Goku once again. Goku is teaching Piccolo all sorts of nifty tricks. Like how to jump up in the air and slow down time just like those crazy people on the Matrix or Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. ~~AN: Melissa typed that in but it works~~

Goku: I can't believe your strength Piccolo!

Piccolo: I have something to protect, now.

Goku: {scratches his head} Yeah, I guess that does make you stronger.

Piccolo: Come on, Goku. We need to train.

Goku: How long do you think it will take for him to send more enemies?

Piccolo: I really don't know.

Goku: Are you worried?

Piccolo: … I don't know… I have never felt such an emotion.

Goku: Well, do you feel like you have to do something every second of the day? Do you feel like you must be with Kim and Aria, at all times?

Piccolo: Yes… so I am worried. I guess that's what happens when you have a family.

Goku: It is good you are worried about your family. You know Kim can take care of herself… Vegeta has trained her well and I know Kim would protect Aria at all costs.

Piccolo: Even her life.

Goku: You would sacrifice yours for the both of them.

Piccolo: Yes. But I couldn't live if Kim or Aria were killed.

Goku: Kim feels the same way about you… so you have to keep alive! For your family, you must protect without sacrifice.

Piccolo: I have reason to live.

Goku: Right!

Piccolo: Well, Goku… we are almost even with our powers, but I still feel I need to do more.

Goku: That's because you're a father.

Piccolo: And a husband.


NEXT: More growing-up for Aria…
