Chapter 10:

Usagi knew something was up as soon as she went into the apartment. You could almost say she felt it in the air, almost like a gigantic thunder storm.

Shuddering to herself she couldn't help but pray that it wasnt anything like that, she really didnt like thunder.

Plopping down on the oversized couch she twisted until she found a comfortable place amoung the pillows that fought her for space on the couch.

Yelling the normal greeting she waited until she saw her friend come out with the two plates of food in her hands.

Settling herself amoung the pillows Lita she handed the plate piled high with food of all kinds (fruit, bread, a large fry and for some reason a large chocolate chip muffin..)to Usagi she waited for the questioning.

After finishing the food, Usagi turned to Lita and with one foot swinging from the chair she said

"Tell me happened last night? every single detail."

Nodding, lita began "Mina and i went to a club and we stayed there for a while and we were out dancing with some guys when we saw Chad. We followed him outside and when we got there he was waiting. We double teamed him but he fought back with an energy ball.

Then the two guys we had been dancing with came outside and started to beat him up while we struggled to get up after the hit from the ball. By the time we got up he had been beaten unconscious and grabbing Chad we brought him over to Ami's were she took care of his injuries and has him right now."

Bending her head, Lita finally looked up at Usagi. With sorrow in her eyes and pain in her voice she said "It lookes like a new evil is trying to take over"

Usagi nodded in understanding "Its okay Lita, i know about this so called evil. It can easily be taken care of, it's not so bad. I just have to pay a small visit to an old friend and it will be no more. On a good note, guess who has called me and invited us to go on a picnic?"

Lita smiled a smile of joy, all the worrying had been for nothing. But as to who would invite them on a picnic she was stumped.

Shaking her head, she said "i havent got a clue, tell me."

Smiling, beside herself with joy as she knew Lita was soon to be she said "Piccolo"

Shaking her head in denial "No way!"

"Yes way, i gave him a present of a mobile just before we left and showed him how to use it, plus he knows what will happen if we dont see him often." Smiling evilly she left that thought open. Jumping of the couch, Lita started yelling. "Mina get up, We're going on a picnic with our favourite green giant today."

A startled yell could be heard coming from the bedroom as a blur of blonde and orange burst into the living room at warp speed.

Coming to a stop before the already hyperactive brunette she said "You are being totaly serious right?"

"Totally, we get to see our godfather." and in saying this both dissappeared through their bedroom doors to be out five minutes later ready for there little meal.

Lita wore long blue hypster jeans with green flip flops and a summery green corset top under a open black shirt.

Mina wore a black mini skirt with low heeled boots and a orange halter top. Her hair was up in a high pony-tail that cascaded down her back like light beams.

Grinning despite herself Usagi got up and walking towards the door she turned "You are coming with me right, coz i am leaving now." This she tossed over her shoulder and waling out the door she counted to a slow five seconds before moving out of the way of the door as two women hurled themsleves out the door looking all around for something or someone.

Grinning they all made there way down to there vehicles and as Mina and Lita climbed on to there motorbikes, Usagi got into her siver convertible piled high with picnic stuff and they made their way to the private place Piccolo had said that he would meet them.

*************************************************************************************************

Piccolo couldn't believe he had actually done it, he had invited someone on a picnic and wasnt actually planning on trying to kill them or anything.

Shaking his head in annoyance he hoped that the rest of the guys never found out about him going soft. He wuld never hear the end of it and it would be hell on his giant green silent man complex.

Looking at his arm he remembered he had never been one for watches because he could normally sense when people got together and he just flew out then but this time it was different.

He could not sense the girls, they had powers of course but they were so well hidden that they juts came up as normal humans.

Nothing remarkable about them until they transformed and even then only if they wanted you to know were they were would you be able to sense them.

Grinning despite the fact that he didnt know how much time he would be wasting here before the girls arrived he sat down and began to medidate. As luck would have it nobody was around for miles and so he started to float until the girls arrived which in all respects was like a few minutes later.

It helped that it was a country road and most people used hover cars now. Times were so much easier on them.

Opening his eyes as he heard a loud screech he watched as a silver convertible did a neat hand break turn and then hit the breaks. Fortunately the riders on the bikes knew what was going to happen and had gone there seperate ways so as not to crash into it.

It was at this time while he had his eyes trained on the driver stepping out that he was attacked by clinging women.

He couldnt breath and it didnt help that he was still floating in the air.

Wrapping their legs around him he knew that he would never get his god daughters off without alot of help and him powereing up was not going to do nothing because at this stage he knew they were much stronger then him. I mean when they were only five they were able to beat him which didn't say much for his fighting skills but then again they were supposed to have saijjin blood in them as a far of relation of their's.

Usagi slowly made her way over stopping every few steps to pick up flowers she found particularly beautiful despite the pleading looks Piccolo kept on sending her.

Eventually she got there and by Piccolo's reckoning not a moment to soon.

With a shake of her head that somehow his two goddaughters saw despite having there heads firlmy wedged between his should and neck she got them off.

Breathing easily for the first itm ein what seemed ages he shot her his famous you are evil stare but there was no realy malice behind it.

Sitting down he drank his water while the rest of the girls ate and drank their share of the goodies provided by Usagi who was at this stage doing her bets to make sure that she never ran ot of energy.

To the people who knew her extremely well, it didnt seem weird that she ate this much. It was natural. Her power was connected to the amount of energy she has stored in her, the more she has the less likely she would die when she used it.

Perfectly logical. Even her mother was like this although it was know fact that her daughter had far exceeded her power by the time she had used the crystal the second time.

The only difference in the way they feed on the enrgy was that while Usagi openly flaunted the fact that she had a big apetite, Queen Serentiy didnt. In fact nobody knew that she ate more food then the normal to feed the crysatl. She had a kitchen built into her quarters and whenever she got hungry she would make something. It was a thing not that many people knew about.

He was on of the privileged few who knew that the crysatl with which his two friends had absorbed into them atced like a child. Everytime they ate it ate. Growing more powerful each time.

Much like a saijinn after a battle. It learned from its mistakes and so became stronger then before.

Ending his thoughts he nearly jumped in shock. Three pairs of eyes were focused on him, unblikingly with a very strange look in their eyes. Almost as if they had come to a decision but were uncertain about the out come.

His mind moved at a slower pace then usual that day and so when the three bodies attacked him, it came to them then what that look in their eyes was.

Mischief.

Screaming a silent sound of anguish, he tried to get away....but alas it was to late they had him pinned down and were administering his most hated weakness.

One that not even his best friend Goku knew of his past pupil and now friend Gohan knew.

Tickles....even thinking it brought goose bumps up on him and he brokeout in a sweat.

But it was to late and no squirming or parying for mercy would get them off.

Laughing until their sides hurt so much that they couldnt breath the girls continued until they he had had enough.

Rolling onto his side, clutching at were his lungs should have been had he been human he bemoned the fact he had tickle a most hate curse on him. Looking up into the sky he ask..

"Why me...why me kami?"

Noticing for the first time how dark it had gotten he turned to the girls..

"I have to be some were else soon, to meet with some aquantinces." to use any other word wuld inspire more curiosity on there part and he didnt really want them to meet his friends yet.

He feared what the girls would tell them and to be truthful he also feared what Usagi would do if Vegeta came out with one of his hated women speeches.

Looking up into the sky also, Usagi turned to him

"It is alright, we also have to be somewere else." At the questioning looks that she got from the other two girls she clarified her statement. It seemed that they had already forgotten.

"We have to meet up with Setsuna for her visit!"

Looks of comprehension came on there faces but also traces of a not dead matchmaking gene came onto their faces.

As luck would have it Piccolo had turned away to wipe of grass stains of his white cape, so he failed to notice the raised eyebrows and questioning looks passed his way between Usagi and Minako.

Giving a hug to the green giant Usagi left, taking with the picnic baskets and throw rug.

Surprising his god-daughters he gave them a surprise hug and before they could react had flown of, it didnt stop them from yelling after him to meet with them again same time next week.

Grabbing the bikes they swung onto them and made their way home wondering all the while who was coming with Setsuna and why?
