"Mommy…" Dende's grip around his mother's neck grew tighter.

"It's okay, your father will go with you…"

the young woman looked over at her husband, who nodded. She nodded in return. This was a really good idea for some father-son quality time. Dende hasn't seen his father in months! He would always go out training in the mountains all by himself, since Dende was a tad little older enough, and a little more mature, it was time, to fight in the world martial arts tournament! Sure, back on Dende's home planet he knew how to fight, but this is a kind of way Piccolo can express his love for his adopted son.

"Now Piccolo, don't hurt him too badly…let him win his first fight…" she used telepathy so that only Piccolo could here it.

"mmm…" he nodded.

"come on Dende, It'll be fun!" Dende loosened his grip a little.

"that's a good boy…"

she handed Dende over to Piccolo. Now, Dende had a tight grip on his father's neck. He was nervous. All those people going to watch him, and he's going to fight with the other grown ups.

His mother stroked the back of his head.

"you'll be fine Dende, I'll be in the crowd cheering you on, and taking LOTS of pictures!"

Dende replied with a "mmhmm…"

Considering how tall Piccolo was, his mother had to stand on her tip toes, and planted a kiss on his cheek.

Piccolo, who thought he was getting a kiss also, leaned in to his wife's face. She cocked her head to one side and then it hit her.

"ohh, daddy wants a kiss too…?" embarrassed, Piccolo replied,

"n…No!" purple blushes showed.

"yes you do," she teased him.

"No I don't!"

"oh come on, admit it!"

"I said No I don- mmph!"

Piccolo began to shout, but was interrupted by his wife's kiss on the lips.

"there you go, happy now…?" Piccolo blushed again.

-Will all participants for the martial arts tournement, please check in…?-

A man on a microphone spoke.

"well, you two better be going…" Dende finally cheered up.

"bye mom," he turned to say.

"bye sweetie!"

Piccolo put Dende down, and held his hand. He leaned in and kissed his lovely wife's soft cheeks, as she said "good luck"

She gave another kiss to Dende, and she wrapped her arms around Piccolo. "do your best, and I'll do MORE than give you a victory kiss tonight…" she whispered to his ear. The way she said it, and how her breath blew his ear gently, made his blush even more, and made him shiver. Just to tease him, her hands slowly made her way down his back. He jolted back a little.

-This is the last chance to check in!-

Dende's mother began to run, and turned to say, "I'll see you two soon! Good luck Dende! You too Piccolo!" she turned back, and continued running. Piccolo was still blushing.

Piccolo had signed in for Dende.

I do not own Dragonball z! I only own Piccolo's wife, who is one of my oc's

Oh, and this was based on a dream I had…lol…
