Piccolo hovered behind a waterfall, in his meditative pose. His weighted clothing was on the ground below him, and there were people on the other side of the waterfall, laughing and having fun. It wasn't the fact that he hated hearing them having fun, or seeing it as a matter of fact, but truth be told he was a loner and just needed time alone sometimes. Nothing against anyone, but it was just the way he was 'raised' that led him to do this.

'Piccolo.' Piccolo's eyes shot open and he looked behind him. He saw the outline of a girl... 'Come and save me Piccolo.' Piccolo couldn't believe his eyes.

"What the... Who are you?" The outline became a bit clearer, showing a slight green tint in the skin.

"I am the last female. My name is-"

"PICCOLO!" The figure vanished and Piccolo turned and faced Gohan, who was holding Pan in his arms.

"What is it?"

"Who were you talking to? Don't tell me you're going senile already?" Gohan laughed and smiled. "Anyway, we're about to pack up and go. It looks like a storms heading this way so we'll be finishing this at Bulma's. You coming? Nobody's expecting you to." Piccolo scrunched up his nose at the thought of being in a house with Vegeta. Being outside in the open was one thing, being under the same roof was another.

"No thanks. I think I've had my fill of picnics and fun for the day. I might stop by later." Gohan nodded and quickly ran through the water fall back to where everyone was. Piccolo sighed and sat down on a rock, and rubbed his temples. "The last female... Green skin... She couldn't have been a Namekian. No female namekians exist." Piccolo looked up. "Oh Kami... They don't exist right?"

"Dende." The younger Namekian looked behind him at Piccolo. "You can get in contact with the grand elder correct?"

"Oh. Yes of course I can. Why? Did you sense a problem?"

"Not really no. I just need to channel him as quick as possible without causing a panic." Dende laughed.

"Well no panic will be caused. Give me a moment to connect with him." Piccolo nodded, and Dende closed his eyes.

It seemed like forever to the, growing impatient, Piccolo, before Dende gave Piccolo the signal to contact the Grand Elder.

'Grand Elder. I have a few questions for you. I take it you can tap into the memories of the previous Elder correct?'

'Of course Piccolo. What seems to be troubling you.' Piccolo sighed. 'They'll never believe me.' He thought to himself.

'I had a vision. There was a female Namekian talking to me. But aren't they nonexistent? I don't need a full answer yet, just tell me, have they ever existed before? Like the beginning of the namekians?' Piccolo anxiously awaited an answer.

'Piccolo, listen very carefully to what I'm about to tell you.'

'Continue.'

'There were females. Long before the evil was wiped off this planet, there were females. They were all wiped out one day, and nobody knows why. They may have become useless, or meaningless, and have left. But there were once females.'

'So you're saying, my vision-'

'May have not just been an illusion. There may still be one. Did you see anything else on her when she came to you?'

'No, unfortunately. Just her.'

'Well she may contact you again. I suggest keeping a clear meditation schedule, as many hours as you can get in, to try and contact her. She might give you clues as to where she is located.'

'She said come and save me. I hate to say it, but my instincts are screaming to get her.' Piccolo tensed up, remembering the pain in the Namekians voice when she came to him. 'Do you think she could be trapped on Namek?'

'In truth that sounds like a long shot, but if you think she's here and you can get here, go ahead and come.'

'Thank you Grand Elder.' Piccolo turned away from Dende and rubbed his eyes.

"Female namekians? I didn't believe such a thing could exist." Piccolo glanced at Dende.

"Gohan told me you didn't even know what a female was." Dende shrugged.

"I never met one before. We're a planet full of men, what do you expect?" Piccolo chuckled at the cocky tone in Dende's voice. 'That boy is growing up quickly.' "The first woman I met was Bulma, and I couldn't even tell the difference."

"You were also young Dende. Now that you're guardian of Earth you know more than you should on differences between men and woman." Dende chuckled and looked at the ground.

"Well that much is true. But that's not the point. The point is, now we know there's a female Namekian around. And what is the planet going to do if they find out? We've evolved over the years we don't even have the genitalia anymore, so if she's from before our evolution..." Piccolo scratched the back of his neck.

"Well. You might not." Piccolo and Dende stood in silence for a moment.

"Of course. You are the son of Kami's evil side. No evolution was needed there." Piccolo shrugged. "Anyway, if you think she's on Namek I suggest you go and get her before someone else finds her."

"Thank you." Piccolo flew off the tower, and headed straight for Bulma's home.

"What? You need me to take you to Planet Namek?!" Piccolo nodded. "But why? Is there a certain reason, or are you planning a vacation?" Goku laughed a little.

"There's a certain reason but I can't say with so many people around." Piccolo whispered. Namekian or not, the wives here could hear like bats.

"Alright fine. But I can't just leave, Chichi will get mad."

"You just have to make me get there. Then you can head back."

"And what about getting you home?"

"I'll telepathically contact you when I've done what was needed." Goku crossed his arms and rubbed his chin.

"Alright. Grab my shoulder."
