Piccolo's Blind Date

Piccolo yawned and got out of his bed at Dende's Place. Mr. Popo had brought in Piccolo's breakfast (water) and set it on the table. Piccolo was about to drink up when there was a knock on his door.

{Could be Dende, wanting advice for something, so instead of asking Mr. Popo, he decided to bother ME...} Piccolo was thinking as he stood up. {Or maybe it IS that annoying Genie, wanting to do my laundry for the same number of times as my power level (read: A big number) this week.} This went through his head as Piccolo walked toward the door. {Or,} he thought, on a more pleasant note, {it might be Gohan dropping by; haven't seen him for awhile.} Gohan was one of the few living people that didn't annoy the hell out of Piccolo. Piccolo was thinking this as he reached out for the doorknob, and then his eyes widened in sheer terror. {Oh no, what if it's...?!} He opened the door.

"Hiya Kamiccolo!" Akai Ku said, beeming. Piccolo responded by slamming the door in her face. Akai shrugged, expecting this, and walked right in anyway.

"Sorry, Piccolo, I said that to try to annoy you..." Akai said meekly. Piccolo allowed himself a slight guffaw. "Don't worry kid: Your mere PRESENCE annoys me."

Akai smiled and nodded stasticly. "I love you too, Piccolo. Now, today we're going to..."

The Namek raised a hand, silencing her. "I don't know what this 'We' is going to do, but I am going to stay here and train and you are going to leave RIGHT NOW."

Akai chuckled. "No, I think you've been single long enough. So I've fixed you up with a.... BLIND DATE!!"

Piccolo dropped his glass of water. "You...did.... WHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?!" He paused, swallowing huge gulps of air to replace all of that oxygen he had just expelled. Then, he SMILED."Akai, you COULDN'T get a date for me: I'm big, and green, and irratable!" {And damn proud of it, if it means I can get out of going on a date with some stupid human} he thought. Satisfied with his response, Piccolo decided to go about picking up the glass shards on the floor, before Mr. Popo came in and had a nervous breakdown.

"But Piccolo," said Akai with an EVIL grin on her face, "I know someone who's DESPERATE...

No response.

"Chibi Usa."

{NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!} thought Piccolo on the inside, though on the outside, he merely passed out.
