A/N: It's been another 6 months… shame on me. Here you go, my sad excuse for a chapter w/ my sad excuse for a parody of Mulan lyrics. Read, you little monkeys, and enjoy.
I just had a very strange dream. A very strange, twisted, disturbing dream. I shudder at the memory of it.
It was only a dream. It was only a dream. It was only a dream.
In this dream, the brat and I are taking a break after a lengthy sparring session. I stand near the edge of a cliff. Down below, the brat sits by a small pond, writing numbers or some nonsense in the dirt and looking sadly into the water.
The music starts.
Look at me
I will never pass for a perfect nerd
Or a perfect fighter
Can it be
I'm not meant for just one part?
Now I see
That if I were truly
To be myself
I would break my mommy's heart.
Who is that kid I see
Staring straight
Back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide
My two sides
Though I've tried
When will my reflection show
The two halves that I am inside?
When will my reflection show
The two halves that I am inside?
At the end of this little number, I go down to the brat and tell him to stand up. It is time for another round of sparring. Again, the music starts.
Let's get down to business
Before the Saiyans come
I got stuck with this brat
When what we need is Son
You're the softest whelp I ever met
But you can bet before we're through
Mister, I'll make a man out of you.
Harmless on the outside
But ki burns within
Once you learn to use it
You'll be sure to win
You're a cowardly, pathetic wimp
An you haven't got a clue
Somehow I'll make a man out of you.
To be a man
You must be fast as a bolt of lightning
(Be a man)
With all the force of a big kaboom
(Be a man)
With all the strength to move the mountains
So powerful to send your enemies to doom!
Time is racing toward us
Until the Saiyans land
Remember what I teach you
'Cause I won't hold your hand
You're not ready for the heat of war
So you'll die, too bad for you
How could I make a man out of you?
To be a man
You must be fast as a bolt of lightning
(Be a man)
With all the force of a big kaboom
(Be a man)
With all the strength to move the mountains
So powerful to send your enemies to doom!
And so ends the dream.
It was just a dream. It was just a dream. It was just a dream.
I sang. I actually sang.
It was just a dream. It was just a dream. It was just a dream.
The brat turns to me, grinning. "Hey, Piccolo-san, you should sing more often! It sounds nice!"
"NOOOOOOOO!"
