"-and that's it. That's what happened." Gohan finished the long story, covering every single detail.
"Oh, shit." Lacia muttered, then tears started to stream.
"Why did you want everyone to forget? That was an incredible battle. I can begin to remember it now. But… why?" Piccolo asked suspiciously. "I mean, we're best friends."
Tears choked at his throat and threatened to explode form his eyes, but he took a deep breath and continued.
"This is not an easy thing for me to say, but I have to say it anyway……………" Gohan whispered.
"Go on with it." Piccolo insisted.
"Piccolo, do not hold this against me. [sigh] Lacia, I have wanted to tell you this for a while… I have always…" Gohan finally broke into tears once again.
She leaned down to his face. Lacia lifted his chin with her hand and looked into his eyes.
"You can tell me." She crooned.
"I-I love you." He finally stuttered.
Piccolo held Lacia as she fell to the couch in disbelief.
The namek stared at Gohan with a jealous hint to his eyes. He held Lacia unusually close to him.
"SEE! I KNEW I COULD NEVER TELL YOU!!! I HAD THE COURAGE TO TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU AND THAT I MADE YOU FORGET AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BATTLE TO FORGET YOUR LOVE AND WHEN YOU REMEWMBER, I STILL SAY NOTHING ABOUT YOU TWO HANGING ALL OVER EACH OTHER AND YET, YOU DO NOT GIVE ME CREDIT; LET ALONE THE ABILITY TO EVEN HAVE SO MUCH AS A FRIENDSHIP WITH THIS WOMAN!!!!!!!!!! YOU DENY ME OF EVERY KIND OF DIGNITY A MAN COULD WANT AND YET YOU THINK YOU DESERVE SO MUCH RESPECT WHEN ALL YOU ARE IS WHO TRAINED ME AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN TRAIN ME WELL!!!!!!!!" Gohan screamed on and on and on.
Piccolo's eyes grew wide.
"Gohan, I.." Piccolo tried to speak, but Gohan ran out of the room. He locked himself in the bathroom.
"Did you know?" Piccolo finally turned to Lacia.
"Honest to God, I didn't." she swore. Lacia turned to the egg.
"And what are we going to do about this?" she asked with a smirk on her face.
"Right now, I can't think about it. I can't believe I didn't back him up on this one. He is my best friend and I wish I didn't have to make decisions like these." The namek spoke gently, trying to make her understand.
"I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I had to come between you guys, I'm sorry I made you into a love fool, I'm sorry you love me, I'm sorry he loves me, I'm sorry I was born and…" Lacia fell to the floor, suddenly sobbing.
"No, no, no, Lacia, don't apologize for those things. You are the best thing that has ever come to my life and probably the best thing in Gohan's. Don't be sorry for that and do not wish you never lived. I wish you could live forever, personally. Do not want to have never been born. Gohan can't help loving you, as neither can I. Nothing could come between Gohan and my friendship, so don't blame yourself." Piccolo soothed.
An awkward moment befell upon them.
Is this the namek I first met? He is so compassionate and loving. I fell in love with him for being so strong. But now I know he would weep over me… HOLY FUCK!!! I have transformed this fighter into a heartfelt softie! This is not why I love him! I can't love him like this. I mean, I still love him, but I would rather him be a son-of-a-bitch and the namek whose heart I first fell for. Lacia contemplated inside her mind.
"Piccolo… I… want to tell you… I-I don't think we should be together anymore." Lacia' heart was ripping itself to shreds as she spoke.
The loving look on his face shot to an instant glare.
"What, now that Gohan's here, you want to be rid of me? What kind of mother fucker are you?" Piccolo's voice had its icy edge once again. Never had Lacia loved him more than that moment.
"I can't be with you." Lacia stated.
"And why not?" Piccolo spat.
"I can't tell you that." Lacia spoke softly.
"Tell me truthfully, does Gohan really turn you on?" The namek shot at her.
"I can't tell you that, either." Lacia said.
"Can you tell me if you and Gohan will go and fuck when I leave? Huh? Can you tell me that?" Piccolo shouted.
"No, I cannot." She stammered.
"Damn it, is there anything you can tell me?" he asked rudely.
"Si, mi amor. Te quero mi grande amor." Lacia crooned.
"The only other language I know besides English is Japanese so 'kussotarre' on your ass!" Piccolo spat.
That stung.
Lacia walked away. That was a painful thing to do, but she knew that was the only way.
"I love you." She whispered softly as she walked by him.
Piccolo stood in shock, awe and heartbreak.
He wanted to kill her, to punch her until there was nothing left. And yet, he wanted to cry. Like a tiny child.
He walked to the door- slowly at first, then it ended up he was running.
Piccolo thought the area was clear, so he threw all of his might and anger at the ground.
"HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Piccolo screamed.
"Whoa, holy shit!" Trunks yelled.
Sloan heard his cry and immediately jumped in front of him.
"Sloan! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Trunks sobbed horribly.
Piccolo stood in the sky, in shock of hitting someone.
"Oh my god, I am so sorry." Piccolo apologized.
"DOES SORRY LOOK LIKE YOU CAN SAVE HER LIFE, ASSHOLE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Trunks shrieked at him.
"Trunks, I… oh, ow… are you okay?" Sloan weakly whispered.
"I'm fine… you saved my life! What about you? Are you going to be alright?" he asked worriedly.
"I think.. the time has come…" Sloan began.
"No, my love, you can't leave me!" Trunks pleaded.
"I am glad that Piccolo did that.. Thank you, Piccolo." She called to him. "I would have had to kill myself if he didn't. You see, I have been wanting to return to the planet Saturn for the longest time… but the only way to return is to die. I want to go alone, Trunks… I fear I do not love you like I once did. There is someone on Saturn who can love me like I need and I want to see the queen, my mother. I'll be safe there, you don't have to worry about me. I love you, and maybe I'll visit you in Heaven some day." Sloan breathed her last dying words. "Love is always there for you… just… like… me."
Trunks bent over the limp body and wept.
Piccolo fell to the ground. He couldn't cry. The tears would not come. He felt so sad.
"It.. it wasn't your fault." Lacia tried to tell him. Piccolo didn't even know who was talking to him.
"Like hell it wasn't. You saw it as well as I did. I killed her." He shook his head.
"What, did you want to wake up one morning and find her dead on the doorstep?" She shouted for everyone to hear.
Piccolo recognized the angry voice and looked into Lacia's deep green eyes to find it out. They were never green. They were and had always been blue.
"Lacia, I didn't realize I was talking to you… " Piccolo trailed his sentence. "What happened to your eyes? They're blue."
"They've always been." She glared and looked into his sad eyes. They were, just barely, a navy blue.
"What… happened to yours?" she asked.
"Does it matter?" he asked as more of a statement and walked away.
I've killed his soul. Lacia thought in
fear. He loved me and I killed it. All
because of my little desires. Then again, if I had not killed his soul, his
love-sickness would have destroyed mine.
That day was a mess. Once everybody rounded up, they all fell asleep. Some couples got very happy to be re-united and, well, enough said.
Travis led Azefree to the guestroom that night. They locked the door [if ya know what I mean].
Jodi sat by Goku. They had been talking in Jodi's room, when she kissed him. They also locked the door that night.
Sarah and Vegeta made noise during the night. A 'Do Not Disturb' sign sat on their doorknob.
Yuki and Chiaki left their door unlocked, but the activity was much the same.
Sammy and Krillin made their evening romantic with incense, candles, and wine.
Karen and Ryo made theirs kinky with whipped cream, body butter and a tight leather bikini (who wore the bikini is the real question but anyways…. ~_^)
The others each had their own room. Piccolo spent the whole night thinking about how much he wanted to be laying beside Lacia right now. Lacia felt very much the same way. Gohan didn't know what to think that night. Neither did Chibi-Usa. The truth of the matter was that she had come for Gohan. She had always wanted him and never gave the thought up. Andy, once again, had nothing to do. So he raided the refrigerator.
"Andy, what the fuck are you doing?" Chibi-Usa muttered.
[Chibi-Usa's name is not September in this story only because September is whom which wrote this story]
"Look who's talking! I'm hungry. So sue me for eating!" Andy defended himself.
"Sorry." Chibi-Usa apologized.
"Now that you know what I am doing up, what are you doing?" Andy asked suspiciously.
"I can't sleep, you know? Lots of things on my mind." She replied, taking a piece of chicken from a bag in the fridge.
"What kind of things?" Andy asked.
Chibi-Usa stayed silent.
"Why does Gohan love Lacia so much?" she asked suddenly.
"Huh?" Andy was taken back.
"You heard me." She said flatly.
"I… I don't know… Why do you want to know?" He wondered.
"I-I want to be… with… You can't tell him, Andy, he can't know that I care… He's going through so much right now already." Chibi-Usa's voice spattered.
"What? What? Huh? Huh? Huh?" Andy was immediately confused.
"I love him, Andy. I have been in love with him for a long time and at one time, he knew this and felt the same for me… But it seems that he somehow forgot about loving me. Sure, I have kept on to it for a long time. I loved him as a child. I believe you should hold onto love, no matter when it occurs. You know?" Chibi-Usa spilled.
Andy had a hard time understanding her, for she spoke so quickly. But he got it.
"I can't believe it! I swear, everybody is in love with somebody here! There is just so much gosh-darned love in this house!" Andy giggled.
"Aye, no shit." Chibi-Usa felt relieved to have told someone.
"Just be yourself. Also, mention that you still care. There is really nothing else you can do." Andy said and took his stock of deli meats, chicken, Kool-Aid, cheese, apples, strawberries, potato chips, chocolate pudding, cereal, bread, jelly, peanut butter, onions (you'd swear he was pregnant with all the food he had) and fish to his room.
Morning came. And oh, what an interesting morning it was.
Lacia walked out of her room. She saw Piccolo walk out to his house in only a pair of pants.
God, he's sexy. She thought and was crushed by the fact that she had to let him go.
She looked around and realized she was the only one up.
Lacia turned around and went back into her bedroom.
The house was silent for at least another hour until a bloodcurdling scream woke everybody up.
Everybody ran immediately to the kitchen where Jodi stood, mouth open in utter horror, pointing to a vicious sight on the floor.
Goten laid there in bloody atrocity, slit in the belly and all of his contents laid on the floor beside him.
"Oh my god! My son!" Goku choked and ran to the mass of entrails and other body contents strewn about.
Beside him sat a note. Jodi picked it up, for Goku could not stand up.
"I am waiting outside… there is a powerful force with all of you in the house… but if one of you tries to leave… I will get you… I like the way the killer in Scream killed his victims… but I cannot kill all of you in that house. I-I will wait for one of you to leave… then, one by one, the Sailor Scouts and DragonBall senshi will fall. I'M WAITING." Jodi's voice cracked as she threw the note at an open window.
Immediately, Goku ran to the window and shut it, locking it tight.
"We cannot leave. It will kill us. One by one, like the note said!" Yuki cried softly.
A fading blob came to her shoulder. It took form of a tiny creature.
"Yuki, do not cry. You have such a pretty face- do not spoil it by tears." A small voice came from it.
Without looking to see who was there, Yuki's breath stopped.
"Axes." She whispered.
Tiny lips kissed her cheek.
"Oh, Axes! I thought you'd forget me!" she sobbed happily.
"I would never forget you, my love." He crooned.
Suddenly, Yuki whipped out her Luna Pen.
"Use this! Remember, you've done it before!" she cried with a smile.
Axes waved it around him. There was a glitter of moon dust and out of it appeared the creature, in a form of a man.
Yuki hugged him tight.
Chiaki suddenly walked to the door.
"This note is bullshit. I will prove he is just afraid and not powerless against us." He said egotistically.
He marched out the door.
Nothing was heard.
"Maybe that note was a load of crap!" Karen suggested.
Without warning, Chiaki's face, which had been ripped from its head, hit the window and slid down slowly, leaving a bloody streak.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Yuki screamed and fell to the floor sobbing.
"It's okay, my love. I am here and you are safe with me at your side." Axes whispered soothingly.
Everyone clung to their love, well, except for Lacia, Gohan, Piccolo, Chibi-Usa, and Andy.
Chibi-Usa broke free of what kept her tears back and they flowed freely. No couple would part to comfort her.
Gohan looked at her, writhing with fear and disgust from seeing so much blood. His eyes softened. Slowly, he lowered to her and wrapped his arms around her.
"Don't be afraid. You are protected." He murmured and kissed her cheek. He sat beside her and looked into her teary eyes. And her saw more than tears. He saw love.
Then from somewhere deep inside his heart, a love rose from a dept not known to man. He suddenly knew his hidden self. It wanted to be with Chibi-Usa.
They sat, staring. She reached out and pulled his head to hers and they embraced in a kiss.
Andy smiled.
Lacia looked longingly to Piccolo to find him staring with burning dark eyes at her.
"Piccolo, I…" Lacia tried to speak.
They stared into each other's eyes.
"I know, Lacia, I know." He whispered. He wanted to kiss her, to hold her. But she wanted him tough, strong. And it took all of his strength to stay put.
Lacia couldn't stop herself. Tediously, she leaned to him.
Piccolo stared at her longingly.
Lacia was inches away from his face (which was amazing because, I swear, he's almost eight feet tall!), she could almost smell his hot breath (but not quite[thank god]). Then she quickly pulled away from him.
This time, Piccolo bent towards her until his chin was on her forehead.
"You won't make me a softie… I promise… but I can't go on without you. You know this… and, vice versa! I need some happiness in my life. I need you…" he admitted. Again, they looked into each other's eyes.
Lacia took his hand in hers. Then Piccolo pushed forward briskly kissing her with ardor.
They finally broke apart a little while later, they stood, nose to nose, staring at one another.
Suddenly Lacia couldn't help asking.
"Do you have a dick?" she wondered.
Piccolo burst up laughing. [Jodi, I know you are laughing right now!]
"Is that what you've been thinking about the entire time?" he stifled another chuckle.
"No… I just wanted to know…" she lowered her head with a smile.
"People think that we don't because they say 'our antennas are our dicks' but, I mean, what do they know? Are they namek? The truth is is that I am partially colorblind, as are all the nameks. That is why we need our antennae. But, yes. I do." Piccolo explained quietly, almost laughing.
"Okay." Lacia smiled.
Why do you want to know, planning on using it sometime soon? Andy almost laughed out loud as he thought this.
Piccolo picked up his head and looked around the room. Everyone stared at them lovingly.
"That is so sweet!" Jodi cried.
"That's fuckin' nasty!" Karen screamed.
"Ew, Lacia! I can't believe it- ew!" Yuki turned away laughing.
Gohan on the floor, holding Chibi Usa in his arms, with his head on hers.
"Gohan, I… I love you." A tiny voice spoke.
Gohan looked up in surprise and almost panic, but instead of gasping, he turned her around. With strong hands, he took her hair out of the usual cone odangos. It blew freely in the breeze of the air conditioning.
"You're hair is so gorgeous! I can't believe you coop it up in odangos all day!" Gohan crooned.
"Well, nobody really likes the color pink, so I figure the less showing, the better." Chibi Usa blushed.
"I like it on you…" Gohan mumbled. He was surprised to find himself wooing the small woman with more love in his heart than he had even felt for Lacia.
"Thank you… You know, my mom told me once that-" Small Lady began.
"I love you" Gohan blurted out before she could even finish her sentence. He then covered his mouth in utter shock.
Chibi Usa's loving scarlet eyes gazed into his again. Her look was so intent that Gohan didn't even comment about her always looking him in the eye. Instead, he just stared back and lost complete notice to the outside world.
"And w-what are we going to do about the ki-killer?" Krillin stuttered, hiding in Sammy's arms.
"I have an idea." Piccolo said after a few moments of silence. He clasped onto Lacia's hand. "Lacia, take someone else's hand. The killer said that he can't kill us when we're all together."
"So?" Sarah asked impatiently.
"So, if we all hold hands and walk outside, we can not only see who the killer is, but destroy them as well." Piccolo continued.
"Good idea!" Azefree smiled. She huddled in Travis's arms, her skin shiny silver against a smooth white robe. Travis looked content in his boxers (let's hope so-it's all he was wearing [YAHOOOO!!!!!! J/kJ] )
"Could we, uh, like, transform before we go out there? I have no power without being a sailor scout!" Chibi Usa asked.
"She has no power with being a scout, either!" Karen whispered to Sarah who stifled a giggle.
"Hey, be nice!" Travis warned Karen.
"Yeah, yeah, why are you protecting her? Hm? Hm? Answer me, dumb-ass! Do you like her?" Karen instigated.
"No, but she doesn't deserve to be treated like that!" he shouted back.
"Okay, okay, you two! Chill out!" Yuki called.
"Yeah, calm your nuts!" Jodi added.
All three of them turned and stared at Jodi.
"What?!?" She asked insistently.
Karen rolled her eyes.
Travis walked to the hallway, towards the bathroom.
"Thank you, Travis." Chibi Usa's voice was behind him. Actually, SHE was behind him. As he turned around to look at her, she kissed him in appreciation.
"Hey, no problem. That bitch needed to be told off anyway." Travis smiled.
"Be nice!" Chibi Usa giggled and playfully punched him in the arm.
Chibi Usa walked back to Gohan who smiled with love and drew her in as soon as she came close. They kissed for a few minutes; totally oblivious to hear the scouts scream their transformation calls.
"MOON CRISIS POWER MAKE UP!!!"
"MARS POWER MAKE UP!!!"
"MERCURY POWER MAKE UP!!!"
"JUPITER POWER MAKE UP!!!"
"VENUS POWER MAKE UP!!!"
"PLUTO POWER MAKE UP!!!"
Gohan parted his lips from hers.
"That's your cue!" he smiled. Chibi Usa stood up reluctantly.
"Yeah, it sucks doesn't it!" she smiled back.
"MOON PRISM POWER MAKE UP!!!"
With many twirls and flips, the girls transformed into the sailor scouts.
The men stood by, watching their lovers, staring with awe and countless skipped heartbeats.
As the sailors stood in the kitchen, it seemed the world became darker (which it actually did), but the scouts glowed with pride and beauty.
Piccolo walked to Lacia. He took his other armband off and wrapped it around her hair, tying it in a bun once more. He then brushed small hair from her face with his hand.
"Now let's get out there and tell the mother fucker to go and suck something." Piccolo said with a smirk on his face.
Piccolo took hold of Lacia's hand, she held someone else's and they all formed a line, joined at the hands.
The namek was the first in the line so, slowly, as to emphasize, he opened the door, but before stepping out all the way, he looked at Lacia deeply and said:
"Whatever happens, hold onto my hand. Don't let go no matter what. I love you, remember that. Pass it on." He whispered the last part.
Lacia told the person behind her, except, of course, not the love part. Then, that person passed it on, etc.
One by one, they all stepped out the door.
"Alright, you killer! Show yourself!!!" Lacia screamed.
Tediously, a foot was shown, then the leg of a pair of pants. Then the beginning of a coat.
HAHA!!! Can you guess who it is?
