*A few hours had passed and the two Namekians had made their way to their room. Lying upon their bed, Dende laid there on his stomach, spread partially atop on Piccolo's body and partially off. Dende's right arm ran over Piccolo's abdomen, with his head on Piccolo's shoulder. Both of their eyes were shut as they both laid there with soft smiles upon their face. Both of them speaking softly to each other*

Dende: "You know, a couple of hours ago…"

Piccolo: "Mmm?"

Dende: "I'm use to you being bold, but not like that."

Piccolo: "Heh…yeah…Sorry'bout that. I don't know what that was about. Maybe Kami's trying to take over my body or something."

Dende: "Pfff…Kami trying to take over your body? Okay."

Piccolo: "Hormones?"

Dende: "Maybe…Definitely out of character for sure."

Piccolo: "Hmm…"

*There was a brief moment of silence*

Piccolo: "You know how you said I should basically just…I don't know…Just be like this with everyone else, like how I am with you?"

Dende: "Mhmm."

Piccolo: "I don't know if I could do that."

Dende: "Why's that?"

Piccolo: "I just don't know if that would be the best thing to do. I think it would just be awkward for both them and I. Next thing you know, someone's going to walk up'ta you and ask, "Dende…did you drug Piccolo or something?" I can't just wake up one day and make the decision to be totally different around everyone. Gohan would probably have a heart attack himself."

Dende: "Yeah…I mean. At first it might be weird. But, like I said, they'd just have to adjust to you is all, like I had with you, and you to me. But right now, even if you do make that decision to do so…Well…you're not yourself right now. Not even between the two of us alone.

Piccolo: "So, if I decide to be a little more nice, like I am with you, are you suggesting I wait until after the pregnancy is through to do so?"

Dende: "Perhaps. And you know, I'm sure everyone will like you just the same. Besides, you're quite the comedian sometimes."

Piccolo: "A comedian? Like those idiots that stand on a stage and try to tell jokes?"

*Dende laughed some* "Not exactly. You have a sense of humor is all. You're just good at making me laugh, and I'm sure others would have a good laugh too."

Piccolo: "A comedian…pff."

*Both Dende and Piccolo continued to lie on the bed for some time. Following after, Piccolo sat up and glanced over at Dende*

Piccolo: "Wanna bathe or something?"

Dende: "What's the something?"

*Piccolo and Dende both smiled*

Piccolo: "Well? I'm going. Do whatever you'd like. Lie around or whatever."

*Dende sat up* "No, I'm coming. I'm coming."

Piccolo: "Why do I get the feeling I've heard that before. Sounds familiar." *Piccolo muttered under his breath, teasingly, as he walked towards the bathroom*

Dende: "Hey! I heard that! If I didn't know any better, I'd think you've been hanging out with Bulma or something."

Piccolo: "Hah! I'm just messin. Why you say that though?"

Dende: "You haven't noticed some of the things she says from time to time?" *Dende now getting up to follow Piccolo in the bathroom. Piccolo already turning the showers on and getting in*

Piccolo: "Yeah…heh. I know exactly what you're saying."

*The two Namekians proceeded into the shower to clean themselves up. Eventually some time passed as they were showering. Piccolo exiting first. He just wanted to get in and get cleaned, and then get out. All the meanwhile, Dende sat down and relaxed some while he was in*

*Piccolo got dressed and sat himself down on a bench next to a window. He looked out and down upon the garden of the Lookout. In the distance, Piccolo could see Mr. Popo still in the garden, as usual. The garden was filled with all types of luscious flowers and plants. It was quite relaxing to Piccolo as he gazed upon it*

Dende: "Piccolo?"

*There was no answer at first. The garden had put Piccolo in some sort of a trance*

Dende: "Piccolo?"

Piccolo: "Hmm?!" *Quickly Piccolo snapped out of it* "What?"

Dende: "When do you think the baby will be born?"

Piccolo: "I'm sure some time after I give birth to the egg. Why?"

*Piccolo smirked in hearing Dende's laughter in response to answering his question*

Dende: "Well, when do you think you'll be giving birth to the egg?"

*Piccolo let out a sigh* "Dende. I have no clue when that will be. I mean, we both have an idea, but to what exact day and hour, I don't know."

Dende: "Oh…I just figured I'd give it a shot and ask." *Dende now turning off the showers*

*Stepping out of the showers, Dende grabbed himself a towel to dry off, and got dressed thereafter*

Piccolo: "It won't be too long, that's for sure."

Dende: "Yeah…"

*A small pause*

Dende: "Imagine if the development of the egg was as fast as reproducing asexually. You'd practically have to roll out of bed after the act and just give birth right there!"

*Piccolo looked at Dende* "Yeah, it doesn't sound too satisfying if you asked me."

*Dende laughed some. He was trying to lift the mood in the room*

Dende: "And what if we ovulated like humans too?"

*Piccolo's eyes widened and his brows rose* "There would be a lot of children running around I'm sure."

Dende: "Yeah…"

Piccolo: "So…is that it? You done?"

Dende: "What do you mean?"

*Piccolo stood up and walked past Dende, back towards the room*

Piccolo: "You done talking?"

*Dende got the hint. Piccolo didn't care to talk anymore, but that was Piccolo. And Dende couldn't help but follow Piccolo around like a lost puppy either. It drove Piccolo nuts sometimes too*

Piccolo: "When is some of your family coming over here for training anyways. Aren't they supposed to be coming in a few weeks or something?"

Dende: "Oh, for healing? Yeah. They're going to be coming around to train for that. Goku's suppose to go get them and bring them here."

Piccolo: "When exactly?"

Dende: " Not for another two weeks."

Piccolo: "That might be around the same time I'll be going."

Dende: "Oh? Where are you going to?"

*Piccolo quirked a brow at Dende*

Dende: "Oh…OH! I guess... I'll just have to keep my ears clean and listen closely than."

Piccolo: "Keep your ears clean and listen closely. What do you mean?"

Dende: "For me to hear you yell out, DENDE!"

*Dende finally got Piccolo to laugh some*

Piccolo: "Yeah, I guess so…"

*Another pause*

Piccolo: "Listen though. I'm going to go sit out in the garden and relax."

Dende: "Okay."

Piccolo: "But you. Go the library."

*Dende laughed again* "You were being serious huh?"

Piccolo: "Were you being serious when you asked what a speculum was?"

Dende: "Yeah, you're right. I probably should go."

*Piccolo raised a brow once more and nodded at Dende. With that, they both went their separate ways. Dende headed towards the library, while Piccolo made his way towards the garden outside*
