A whole day almost passed and Piccolo was becoming a little more than worried. Natalee had become his friend and saved him. This Tiny child held more strength than anyone and she was bound and determined to be his friend. He had never encountered anyone like her, well maybe Gohan, but even then the boy didn't effect him like she did.

Natalee had touched him in a way that was unknown to him and it did bother him. However he in no way was going to blame her.

At the moment he sat next to her bed and waited for her to wake. He was getting anxious as she continued to slumber. He felt a longing to see her smile and hear her laugh. He growled at himself as he started to realize these feelings and sighed. He leaned back against the wall and soon fatigue started to take him as well...soon he too was asleep.

Outside the gang had dispersed and soon only Krillin and Gohan remained.

"This is so bazaar Gohan...Have you ever seen him like this?" Krillin asked.

"No...But that's ok cause it will make him stronger...and thats what he wants...It's time he does something towards his goal instead of mine or the earth's." Gohan answered with a smile. "It'll be good for him. I think that's what my Dad would say. You know...it's strange...I like her... like a sister or something...and Piccolo likes her too...I want her to stay...but krillin I have a weird feeling that she'll be leaving us...don't tell Piccolo ok?"

The short monk nodded cause he'd been feeling the same towards her. "it's like she's a tiny Princess...And Made Piccolo her Knight in shining armor or something like that." Krillin Commented and Gohan snorted as the two of them took off towards their homes.

As the morning light spilled in the window, Piccolo slowly stirred from his slumber and started to stretch...only to find that a familiar, very tiny body, again in his lap and this time he gently pulled her still sleeping form up into his embrace. She yawned and stretched against his arms and slid one eye open to look at him. He smiled as softly as he could at her.

" Well now...I was starting to think that perhaps you were a Sayian...sleeping the days away. " He smirked and watched as she rubbed her eyes and with both now open, she stared back at him.

"Piccolo...ok?" Natalee asked groggily and Piccolo couldn't stop the tremble of his own heart and tilted his head at her. she smiled and patted his cheek. he playfully snipped at her hand causing she to giggle and he smiled warmly then replied.

"Piccolo...fine...Thanks to Natalee." before he could stop himself he leaned in and snuggled his cheek to hers in a weird but comforting contact.

She giggled at his face and threw her arms about his neck. Suddenly she trembling.

"Natalee couldn't loose you like Kada...Kada was Natalee's Bestest friend...Piccolo reminds Natalee of Kada...So Natalee got rid of bad people for Piccolo." She spoke and all the while she sniffled. He felt helpless as he held the child...He seen everything that happened and completely understood...but she didn't know that, so all he could do was rub her back as she ever so quietly sobbed on his shoulder.

"Natalee...I tell you what...How about we go and find something for you to eat and then we can see about that power of yours...I think it best if you learned how to control it." Piccolo spoke and all the while placing her on his now materialized weighted shoulder pads and Cape. She tapped the top of his turban which felt weird but as he looked up to her, He noticed that she stared back at the Purple cap at the top with much curiosity in her eyes.

"Its Keeps my head safe." was his only reply as he strolled out into the daylight.
