Chapter 3: How Piccolo and Usagi met each other.

Well, let's take a break. It is time go to the past, just after Piccolo fused with Kami-Sama and met Dr. Gero's most incredible creation: the monster named Cell.

- And we meet at last, face to face. - Piccolo announced when he found the evil being.

The being turned, grabbing a beautiful girl with long and golden hair. She appeared to be around eighteen years old. Her outfit was unusual, for she was wearing a blue sailor suit with a very short skirt and a red bow on her chest. Cell immobilized her, just like a hunter with his prey. The girl was still alive but was unable to free herself from that horrible creature.

- Set her free. You have killed many innocents today, at least spare this one. – The Namek demanded while the wind formed capricious forms with his white cape.

Cell utterly ignored him. The girl was not completely defenseless, and knowing herself close to death she avoided the dangerous sting that was about to sink on her shoulder. The monster gasped, for he was not expecting such thing. Piccolo took advantage of the distraction to attack him, and with that, he freed the injured Sailor Scout.

Piccolo and Cell engaged in battle. The unknown girl observed them, surprised by the grace and agility of the green guy that saved her live.

In the middle of the fight Piccolo was caught by Cell, which grabbed him by the arm and made the Namek unable to move himself. He tried with all his strength but it was impossible, fortunately Sailor Moon was still there and with all the energies she had left, she took of her sword (that one in Sailor Moon SS), and then she launched her Moon Attack to Cell just to help Piccolo. Unfortunately, his arm was gravely severed.

Sailor Moon ran towards the green man was, getting closer to inspect his arm.

- Are you OK? – She got her silky fingers towards the Namek's injury.

- Yes, I'm Ok. You should get out of here if you don't want to die. - Piccolo bickered at her with the scarce breath he was able to take.

- HAHAHA! Without your arm you are unable to fight against me. - Cell claimed their attention, with full satisfaction of his apparent victory.

- Yes, you are right. But before you kill us, at least you should tell us who you are. - Piccolo said. Sailor Moon was scared with Piccolo's words. "Are we really going to die?" She thought.

Cell mocked them for a while, but finally he told Piccolo his story: about the recollection of all the Z fighters' genes; about the androids; and about his evolution and future perfection.

Finally Piccolo started to laugh, disturbing Sailor Moon and Cell. Piccolo pulled out his faded arm, and grew a new one. This made Sailor Moon a bit sick, but Cell stared at the Namek in pure fear.

Cell decided to escape when he felt Tien-Shin-Han's and Krillin's Ki getting closer. He knew that without the androids his power was insufficient. Just before Piccolo could reach him, the Namek turned around to face the girl with weird hair.

- You should go out of here, look for a safe hideout and don't get out of there until we kill that monster. Do that if you don't want to die. – With that last line, Piccolo flew away.

Sailor Moon saw him disappear in the blue sky. Her only constant and repeating thought was: "I didn't even thank him".

*-*

Some days had passed since that terrible event in East City. Usagi was staying at her parents' house. And luckily enough, she was in that city only for buying a birthday present for her mother. East City had the best purses and women accessories. Lately she didn't go out with the girls as often as she used to, mainly because they were busy studying, and for Usagi... studying wasn't something she like to do quite often. And Mamoru… well… they broke time ago because Mamoru was secretly in love with Rei. After what happened, Usagi felt thankful that Cell didn't attacked her sweet hometown, the city of Tokyo.

Usagi and her family were watching the television from their sofa, paying attention to all that was happening with that monster called Cell. And it wasn't for nothing, because Cell made his big Tournament public, and presented an open invitation to whoever felt courageous or strong enough to defeat him.

*-*

Finally, the Cell Tournament began. All the inhabitants of Earth were watching the news that day, including Usagi and her friends. All the Sailors met in the Hikawa Temple for the event, they knew they were powerless against that menace.

The news started with pictures in the Tournament. Finally, the camera focused on the Z fighters. Usagi felt her heart beating faster at the sight of the green man that saved her life "It's him!" She thought getting closer to the screen. "I hope you defeat that horrible monster, because I don't want to die until I thank you for saving me the other day" She said for herself.

During the whole broadcast of the fight Usagi and all her friends didn't move from their seats. At last, Cell was defeated and all the glory was for Mr. Satan. Although, Usagi wasn't interested in seeing that man, she only had eyes for her green savior. "I have to find him, I want to know his name and thank him" She will anything just to see him again.

Usagi didn't have any clues on how to find Piccolo, the only thing she had were the tapes that she recorded during the Cell Tournament. She didn't know how to begin the search, and after thinking a lot she decide on visit Amy. After all, Amy was good at solving that kind of things.

- I will create a radar, but we need some of his DNA. That will be enough to and find his exact location. - Amy continued typing on her computer.

- Well, Piccolo was in the Cell Tournament. We can go and talk to Mr. Satan, he might know something about him. - Usagi proposed.

- I don't think so. I don't think they would know each other, with that phrase of "It's all a trick" , it doesn't look like they know each other. Mmm, I think that the best we can do is going to where the Cell Tournament took place, we might be able to collect some data from there. - Amy stopped a second, as she usually did when something wasn't clear. - But Usagi, tell me exactly why do you want to find this man?

- Well..... – Usagi's crimson red face was the better answer Amy could get out of her friend.

- Ah! You like that man?! – As always, Amy's logic was flawless. After a second of silence, she continued. - Well, the "the thing" between you and Mamoru passed a long time ago. That man is quite odd, but who am I to criticize? - Amy offered her hand on sympathy- The only thing that matters me the most is your happiness, Usagi.

- Thanks Amy! - Usagi said standing up and taking Amy's hands.

- You are welcome. Well, let's look for the girls so they'll help us. I am sure we will find what we need if we are together. - Amy said.

- YES!!!! - Usagi jumped excited, she knew she could always count on her dearest friends.

*-*

Usagi and the others were in the battle field where the fight took place. There were still rests of the battle, and that five girls were trying to find any clue, and in that moment Usagi face lit up with joy when she saw a burnt piece of Piccolo's cape.

- Look girls! That is from Piccolo's cape! - Usagi shouted as soon as she collected the fragment of cloth.

- Its true! This is from the cape that the green guy was wearing! - Makoto shouted.

- Yes, but there was that little boy who was dressed the same as he did. - Answered Rei.

- Well, this is good enough. That boy was wearing the same outfit as him, so that means that he can be his sensei or something. - Makoto interrupted. Being a martial artist herself, she knew how much a student owed to its master.

- Good! We found what we needed! Come here Usagi-chan! - Usagi got closer to her while Amy explained her how to get to Piccolo's position, pointing to a flashing yellow dot on her radar. - Look, you have to go to Kami's Lookout. You can use the Silver Cristal to fly there.

Usagi was ready to look for her beloved.

- Good luck Usagi! We are happy about you falling in love again! - Rei exclaimed, even if deep down she still felt guilty because of what happened between her and Mamoru.

- Thanks Rei! – answered the blonde girl while waving her friends good-bye.

- Good luck! - The others shouted happily as they was Usagi flying to the Lookout.

*-*

Meanwhile at the Lookout, the Z fighters were asking Shen-Long for their wishes: for their surprise, Goku decided to stay in the Other-world to continue his training; and Krillin asked to eliminate the bombs that were in No.17 and No.18 bodies.

No.18 was there, and after the wishes were fulfilled she got out and explained to Krillin that No.17 was her twin brother, and that she might see him again. That gave some hope to Krillin, Yamcha and Gohan were genuinely happy for him.

- You are talking about love? Love is something useless. - Piccolo said.

- Piccolo, I really doubt that you could fall in love. - Yamcha mocked him. Piccolo ignored him; love was something he didn't understand.

Moments later, the Z fighters decided to return home and parted ways. Piccolo decided to stay with Dende, because he needed to train him as the God of Earth. One by one: Yamcha, Gohan, Krillin and Ten-Shin-Han left. Piccolo and Dende got closer to the edge of the Lookout.

- Thanks for staying with me Mr. Piccolo, I will not feel that lonely up here. - Dende said. Suddenly, a beautiful girl with angel wings landed in front of them. Piccolo and Dende look at her, and finally Piccolo recognized her.

- You! What are you doing here?! - Piccolo snarled.

- I was searching for you. After that day in East City, I didn't got to say "Thank you for saving my life." And, well, I don't even know your name. - Usagi gazed at him with her blue eyes.

- Eh? - Piccolo was confused, but finally he decided to answer her. - Well, I accept your thanks. I was going for Cell after all, so it is not a big deal. And my name is none your business.

Piccolo turned his back on her, just to let Usagi know he was ignoring her.

- I want to know it! - Usagi demanded. She went all the way up there just to find him, and she wasn't going to go back without an answer.

- Why? – Piccolo watched her from over his shoulder; his voice was as unwelcoming as a dark cave. As soon as Dende saw that they started to discuss, he decided to go inside the Temple with Mr. Popo. After all, his ears were not used to such screams.

Usagi couldn't control herself. For some reason that man not only saved her life, he stole her heart too. Without thinking about what she was doing, she got closer to him. And without notice, she kissed him passionately.

Piccolo froze: A girl kissing him? The earlier chat with Yamcha was a bit of a bad omen, and that was quite scary. Piccolo haven't kissed anyone before, and he didn't even think on doing it. That was unexpected. Finally, Usagi separate her lips from his.

- Because… I think that I'm in love with you. - Usagi blushed. Piccolo was speechless, in all his life he didn't expect hearing those words from anyone, but... in her lips they sounded... so genuine… and for some reason... that kiss make him feel... strange. Although, he didn't want to get involve in those useless feelings that earthlings valued so much.

- What are you talking about?! - Piccolo snapped at her, quickly getting away from Usagi.

- Just what you had heard. I'm in love with you, and I did everything I could just to find you. If you don't have any feelings towards me, or if that kiss doesn't make you feel something, just say it and I will go right now. - Usagi approached him locking her blue eyes with his dark ones.

- I'm not sure. - Piccolo avoided her gaze, his face purple. For Usagi that was enough, maybe Piccolo didn't understand anything about love, but that kiss surely means something for him.

- I'm fine with that. It gives me hope. - Usagi smiled. "This earthling girl is a weird one" Piccolo thought. – But please, just before I leave… I want to know your name.

- Piccolo. There, you got what you wanted. Now go and leave me alone. - Piccolo answered bluntly, rudely turning around towards the Temple.

- Well, see you later Piccolo! - Usagi said while making her ethereal wings appear. Her golden locks disappearing in the sky by the edge of the Lookout.

Piccolo was confused about what happened earlier: A beautiful girl came there looking for him; kissed him; and then left him saying that she still had hope. "Women are weird" He whispered to himself.

*-*

Usagi didn't know how to capture Piccolo's heart. She was sure that he liked her because his answer wasn't a crude "NO". Usagi was thinking for many days on how she could win his heart.

- A musical group! - Minako exclaimed. The rest of the girls didn't seem to share her enthusiasm.

- Yes! Just imagine all of us singing in a stage. Usagi can write her own lyrics saying all she feels towards Piccolo.

- Yes! That sounds great Minako! - Usagi shouted.

- How romantic! I'm in! - Makoto said dreamingly.

- But girls, how can we make a group? Don't you remember that we have the final exams in only two months? - Amy recited.

- Yes, Amy is right. School is first, love is second. – Luna, the black cat, scolded them.

- Come on, Luna! I think that the girls can have a rest. Plus, loves is always a good cause. – Artemis remarked, lazily waving his white tail.

- Ok Fine. But you have to promise to study at least two hours each day. Is that clear? - Luna said, still not convinced with her decision.

- Yes! Musical Group! Musical Group! - Minako and Usagi said at unison, jumping and cheering.

- Well, I will coordinate the choreography, Usagi will write the lyrics, Amy will compose the music, Makoto will design the outfits, and Rei have to convince his grandfather so we can use his house to give our first concert.

- Wow, Minako! When is about singing you put all your enthusiasm. - Luna said irritated.

- It is because I have the soul of a singer. Hahahaha! - Minako said to the black cat.

- Hey! Why at my house?! – Rei didn't agree with them completely.

- Because you are the only one with a big house where we can practice, and it is a romantic place to invite Piccolo. - Minako answered, she was already feeling as the group's manager.

- Fine, I don't guarantee anything, but I will try. - Rei answered frustrated.

- Good! Let's get work! - Usagi shouted.

The girls organized all (of course, still keeping Luna's promise). The months passed while they put a lot of work and effort into it. They got everything ready just after the day of their final exams. Amy was responsible for inviting Piccolo to the concert.

*-*

Piccolo was teaching Dende how to become a better "Earth Guardian", explaining him all the nuances that came with controlling the Earth's atmosphere and yearly cycles. Suddenly, an Air-Car landed there, and a pretty girl with short and blue hair came out.

- Why are they appearing so many girls in this place? - Dende asked himself.

- Who are you?! Don't you know that this is a sacred place? - Piccolo asked grumbling.

- Yes I know, but Usagi asked me to give you this. - Amy said giving him an envelope. - Well, I only came for that, just don't miss it! Usagi had put all her care in this. - Amy said entering again in her Air-Car, without giving Piccolo time to answer her.

- Mr. Piccolo. This place is sacred; you can't let your friends come here whenever they want. – Mr. Popo scolded him, serving tea on two cups and taking steps towards the temple.

- There aren't my friends. I don't even know them! - Piccolo snapped back to the djinn.

- Whatever you say, only be careful with those things. - Dende answered, getting back to the Temple, leaving Piccolo alone.

Piccolo inspected the pink envelope and on the back he could read "For Piccolo". The big heart at the right upset him further:"What the hell is this." He finally decided to open it, revealing a letter and a map:

"Piccolo:

We expect you this afternoon 9:00 p.m. at the Hikawa Temple, located just northeast of Tokyo. I don't know if you know how to get there, so I included a small map that will help you to come here easily.

Don't miss it! It's important.

Usagi."

Piccolo thought that it could be an emergency, perhaps a new enemy. So he didn't miss the appointment. Piccolo was very punctual, anxious to know what kind of menace was about to menace the Earth. Although, when he landed there, all was covered in shadows. "Damn it! I'm late"

Suddenly, a big light appeared in the middle of that darkness revealing a stage with five girls: Usagi was one of them.

- Surprise! - The five girls shouted.

- This song is dedicated to the guy I like, Piccolo! - And without saying anything else, they started to sing "Moonlight Densetsu". Piccolo just blushed, he never expected someone to dedicate a song for him in that way (well, he remember Gohan singing him that song "Piccolo DaiSuki", but it wasn't the same when it came from a human girl). The song finally ended and Piccolo face was unforgettable. Finally Usagi jumped down from the stage and ran to meet Piccolo.

- I hope you like it, I composed just for you. - Usagi blushed, trying to capture his eyes.

- Eh? And what I have to do with Moonlight?! – Piccolo asked, not understanding completely Usagi's behavior. Why do you dedicate a song to someone? Why was she staring at him, just in the same way that Chichi did when Goku was around?

- It is because, for me, you are so luminous… Just like the Moonlight. And well, you know… my warrior planet is the Moon. - Usagi answered in the sappiest way she could.

- What? Well... can you stop doing that corny thing of yours? - Piccolo said with a big sweat-drop hanging from his head.

- I will, only if you promise me a date. Deal? - Usagi proposed, blocking him from running away.

- Why are you so interested in me? Don't you see that I'm not human? - Piccolo asked.

- That's the same. I'm in love with you, and for love there are no races, or colors, or planets. For love... there's only love. - Usagi said in her sweetest voice, but this time she did it along with a pose.

- Have anyone ever told you how ridiculous you look doing those poses? - Usagi got a little angry with his harsh comment, but that was not going to stop her. Oh no…

- Well, do you want a date or do I have to prepare you another concert? - Usagi collected herself, trying to sound more mature.

- You are wasting your time. I don't believe in your so called "love." - Piccolo answered her.

- Don't worry. I'll change your opinion. – Usagi gazed at Piccolo, and smiled full of self-confidence. She was pretty determined into keeping her word.
