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 XXIX: You Taught Her To Do WHAT?




Scene I: Two years later

Aria has grown older. She is now three and her brown hair is tied up in a ponytail. She watches as her mother and father spar. She always wonders why they fight so much. Kim has gotten a job at a nearby college teaching Biology. She just got tired of waiting for the evil to arrive and she needed something else to do with her life.

Kim: Piccolo, you know what today is…

Piccolo: I don't want to. {dodges a punch}

Kim: Aria will like it. It will give her a chance to meet Goten, Trunks and Marron. Maybe she can make a friend.

Piccolo: You are slacking off. What if he came back?

Kim: Shin assures me, everything is fine. I needed the job.

Piccolo: Shin says… why do you trust him so?

Kim: {folds arms} You always get jealous because I like Shin and Vegeta. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean I have to dislike them.

Piccolo: I don't like Vegeta spending so much time with Aria.

Kim: Someone has to watch her when I'm at work and you go train.

Aria: Daddy, Uncle is kind to me.

Piccolo: {lands by Aria} Aria, would you like to go somewhere today?

Aria: Where? (They never let me go anywhere… not even Uncle.)

Kim: There is a party with our friends… Uncle will be there with his son.

Aria: I never knew Uncle had a son.

Kim: Yes, his name is Trunks.

Piccolo: So do you want to go?

Aria: I'd like that!

Piccolo: Fine. We will go.

Kim: Come on, Aria. I'll carry you. {begins to pick the girl up}

Aria: No. I want to fly there myself.

Piccolo: {quirks an eyebrow} But you cannot fly.

Aria: Uncle showed me. (Wait, Uncle told me that was a secret… Ah well. His fault not mine.)

Piccolo: See! He is training her without our consent!

Kim: What else did Uncle teach you?

Aria: Nothing. He just trained me in the basic of flying.

Kim: Piccolo, it is nothing to worry about. {hops into the air} Let's see how good you are.

Aria: {flies after her mother} Alright!

Piccolo: I don't like this, at all. {flies after}

Kim: Uncle has trained you well. Come on, Aria.

Piccolo: Why don't I use instant transmission?

Aria: No. I want to fly. {puffs cheeks up}

Piccolo: {shakes head} Come on. {grabs Kim and Aria and teleports to the Lookout}

Aria: I wanted to fly!

Dende: Finally! I get to meet the little one. {walks up to Kim}

Kim, Piccolo and Aria are very early. Dende has grown up, he is tall and has grown into Kami's staff. Dende smiles at the young girl and offers his hand.

Dende: I am Dende, the guardian of Earth.

Aria: {looks at her father, then takes Dende's hand} I know. Mother tells me stories.

Dende: She does. Well, I hope they are good ones. {laughs}

Aria: She says Dad's mad at you because you ruined their honeymoon.

Piccolo: {glares at Kim}

Kim: {laughs} Oh, she picks up all sorts of things.

Dende: Oh, you can't still be mad about that.

Kim: Picci-chan holds grudges for a verrrry long time. {picks up Aria} Let's go see Mr. Popo.

Dende: Oh come now, Piccolo. It was just a little fun.

Piccolo: Maybe for you.

Dende: It was three years ago… more than that… Come on!

Piccolo: Fine, if there are no more practical jokes at my expense, I might even bring Aria here so you can babysit.

Dende: Trying to fire Vegeta?

Piccolo: He taught her to fly.

Dende: And to control ki.

Piccolo: WHAT?

Dende: Look Vegeta is trying to teach her to fight so she can be ready when that Lord of Darkness guy sends his men back.

Piccolo: She's too young.

Dende: Yes, I agree.

Piccolo: That's it. I am going to kill him.

Dende: Um, Piccolo… I don't think that is such a good idea.
----------------------

Vegeta arrives with Trunks following him. The only reason he came was to see how his brat got along with his adopted brat, Aria.

Aria: Uncle! {runs up to Vegeta} This is your son? You never told me you had a son!

Vegeta: Calm down, kid.

Trunks: You never told her about me… (Typical. She's grown a little but still she's just a baby)

Piccolo: Vegeta… I need to speak with you.

Vegeta: (She blew our secret… great! Well, I guess I am up for a nice fight.) What is it, Namek?

Piccolo: You will not watch Aria, anymore.

Aria: What! Oh, Dad! Don't do this!!!!!!!!

Piccolo: Quiet. My mind is made up… You will train with me.

Aria: {eyes light up} Really?

Piccolo: Yes.

Kim: Whoa! Wait, a minute!!!

The others arrive for the party. Everyone is amazed by Aria. Goten shyly asks if she'd like to play with him.

Aria: Um, alright, Goten.

Trunks: She's a baby.

Goten: Well, she still likes to play, right? {tilts head at his slightly elder friend}

Vegeta: Trunks. {shakes head} Remember?

Trunks: Phh… You play with her Goten. I'm going to scare Marron.

Goten: But….

Aria: Go play with Trunks. I wanted to meditate, anyways.

Goten: Oh… ok! {runs off with Trunks}

Aria: {walks over beside garden, sits and crosses her arms and legs} (Goten likes me but I think everyone is frightened by me.)
------

Kim: Hey Goten! What are you doing?

Goten: {looks up kawaii} Uh, I missed you, Miss Kim. {hangs on her leg}

Kim: That's nice… where's Trunks?

Goten: He's putting a frog down Marron's shirt.

Kim: That's nice. Why don't you play with my daughter, Aria?

Goten: She's your daughter! I thought she was pretty! {frowns} She said she wanted to meditate.

Kim: I betcha if you ask her, she'll play with you.

Goten: Really?

Kim: Go on.
-----
Goten: {kneels in front of Aria} Want to play, now?

Aria: What about Trunks?

Goten: I play with Trunks all the time. I want to play with you.

Aria: {opens eyes} Really? You don't think I'm a freak.

Goten: What's a freak?

Aria: {smiles} Never mind. Let's just play.

Goten: You know you don't act like you're only three.

Aria: I know.

Goten: Come on… You can fly, right?

Aria and Goten become fast friends. Piccolo starts Aria's training and Kim continues to teach Biology.
