"Miss Lira, father says that I'm bugging him, but I am really bored! Will you do something with
me?" Trunks said as Vegeta kicked him out of the gravity room for a while.
"Sure kid. Let's go ask your mom if you can go exploring for the rest of the day," Lira said as she
and Trunks raced to the house to get Bulma's permission.
"Bulma, would it be alright if I take Trunks exploring this afternoon? I've really been wanting to
check out the planet and he is bored."
"Of course, just try to be back by dinner," Bulma said.
Trunks and Lira first went to the desert where they spared for a little while, then headed of to the
forests where they enjoyed getting wild animals angry at them then running away with the animals
at their heels.
"I know! Do you have any sleds at home? We can stop by really quick, get two sleds, and go
sledding up in the mountains. What do ya say Trunks?"
"Cool, race ya home! Ready, go!" Trunks said as he took off flying at full speed.
"No fair, you get a head start, not like I need one anyway though!" Lira said as she followed in
hot pursuit.
Trunks won and they got their sleds and went to the mountains. They of course went to the
highest peak and sled down, racing to see who could get to the bottom first. They did this for
about another hour before Trunks noticed a ki blast hit a nearby cliff.
"What did you see kid?" Lira asked as she too stopped.
"A blast, it came from over there. Let's go check it out."
"Hi Goten!" Trunks shouted as he and Lira spotted Piccolo and Goten training nearby to where
they were sledding.
"Hi Trunks, what are you doing here?"
"Miss Lira took me exploring today! We went all over the world and then we went sledding
down these mountains, it is so much fun!"
"Cool, can I sled with you?"
"Sure Goten, you can use my sled," Lira called as the boys flew off to continue sledding.
"So, what where you and Goten doing," Lira said as she turned to Piccolo.
"Gohan had Videl over but Goten was getting in the way of their studies, so I took him training
up here."
"Trunks was annoying Vegeta, so I took him exploring. This planet is so nice."
"Yeah. Why aren't you training with Vegeta?"
"Right now, Vegeta is way out of my league. But soon I'll sorta catch up to where I can at least
last a little while sparring with him."
"So being dead all these years made your fighting skills rusty, did it?" Piccolo said. He couldn't
help insulting her. There was this feeling inside him whenever he saw her that made him want to
start an argument with her.
"Where the hell did that come from. I'll have you know that I spent a lot of time in hell training.
I'm not some ordinary push-over! Come on, I'll kick your green ass right here, right now!"
"Fine, whatever you say. Be warned though, I'm not going to go easy on you just because you
are a girl!"
"I never said I wanted you to. In fact, I want you to hit me with everything you got!"
At this, Lira charged and aimed a roundhouse kick at Piccolo's neck. Piccolo grabbed her foot
and slammed her on the ground. Lira flipped up and the two exchanged a flurry of kicks and
punches, each attack matching the other. Eventually, Lira could feel her energy seeping away.
She couldn't let this guy make her look weak! She didn't know what is was, but only when he
was around did she act this way. God, she always made herself look so stupid in front of him!
She broke away and resumed a fighting stance.
"Give it up, I can sense you don't got what it takes to finish this," Piccolo said.
"Yeah right! Who are you to say what I can and can't do!" Lira then flew at Piccolo but before
she could land her kick, Piccolo grabbed her by the waist and turned her around. Her back was
now pressed up against Piccolo's front and he had one arm around her waist and one arm around
her neck. She could feel his breath against the skin on her neck and was starting to feel quite
light-headed. Piccolo was reacting the same way; he was losing control fast but wasn't even
thinking about stopping himself. Just as he bent his head to place a light kiss on her neck. . .
"Hey, Mister Piccolo! Miss Lira! It's dinner time and I'm hungry! Can we go home now?,"
Goten said as he and Trunks came bounding into view. Piccolo released Lira and both of them
moved far away from each other.
"O... of course Goten... whatever you say!" Piccolo studdered.
"Goody!" Let's go!
"Come on Trunks, your mom said we need to be home now too," Lira said.
"Ok, I'm really hungry anyway," Trunks said as everyone took to the air, Lira and Trunks going
southeast to Capsule Corp. and Piccolo and Goten going southwest to the Son House.
What the hell is wrong with me! I should have stopped him! Come on, girl, don't fall for
Piccolo! Lira said to herself as they flew home.
What the hell is wrong with me! I have never felt this way before! I almost lost control, hell I don't even know what I'm losing control of! This didn't mean a thing, I'll just pretend nothing happened and it will all go away. Piccolo told himself as they headed back for dinner.
