Hey, lookie lookie! I'm NOT dead. I'll bet some of you were begining to wonder. How many of you are still reading this?? (I'd like to think someone out there said yes -_-;;) On another note, in one of the reviews someone said that this wouldn't work because nameks are asexual. Yes, I know in the series they are, but I believe in the begining of this fic, I said that Piccolo was a guy. *Ahem* Now, without further redue, the eight, and final chapter of Mira: Daughter of Radditz!!
"Mira, stop pacing," said Carol.
"You're making us nervous," agreed Krista.
Mira stopped pacing. "I'm sorry, it's just.... it's just that we really need to tell Chichi. It's been a month, and we still haven't told anyone except Dende and Videl."
They were sitting at Kami's lookout, a month after Mira's sixteenth birthday.
Mira started pacing again.
"Mira, you're pacing again," said Piccolo.
Mira stopped. "Sorry."
Piccolo shook his head. "Mira, you really need to relax."
Mira sat down. "I know, but, I just wish I had the faitest notion of how Chichi would react."
"We all do," said Carol.
"May I make a suggestion?" asked Dende, walking up to the group.
"We sure could use one," said Mira, smiling.
"Go and tell her right now. Goku and Gohan are home, and I'm sure they'll back you up."
Mira sighed. "I was afraid you'd say that."
"He's right. It's time we stopped putting it off," said Piccolo.
"Okay," she sighed. She turned to Carol and Krista. "Would you two like to come?"
"No, but we will anyway." The four took off. It was awhile before they reached the Son house, since Carol and Krista couldn't fly as fast as the others. But to Mira, it seemed that they were standing in front of the door all too soon. She opened the door and went in.
Gohan was the first to see them. "Uh-oh. Are you gonna....?"
The four nodded.
"Okay, I'll back you up," said Gohan.
"Thank you," said Mira. Gohan nodded. They walked into the kitchen, were Chichi was washing dishes. Goku and Uubuu were sitting at the table. Chichi turned around. "What is this?" she asked.
"Chichi, Piccolo and I have something to tell you," she said taking Piccolo's hand.
Chichi's eyes widened. "I-Is this what I think it is?" she asked. "You two are... are..."
"In love," said Mira firmly.
Mira had seen it in movies, and read about it in books, but up until now she had never actually seen a person faint. Goku caught Chichi just before she hit the ground.
"I hope she's not mad," said Mira.
"I don't think she's mad," said Goku. "Just.... shocked."
"And you?" asked Mira nervously.
Goku smiled. "I'm happy for you, of course."
Chichi stirred and opened her eyes. She saw Mira and Piccolo.
"Are you mad, Aunt Chichi?" Mira blurted out.
Chichi stood up. "Of course not, Mira," she said. "Just... surprised."
"I can't fault you for that," said Mira, rubbing the back of her head.
"So, when are you two getting married?" asked Chichi eagerly.
Everyone except Chichi fell over.
Mira stood up. "AUNT CHICHI!!" screamed Mira, very red in the face.
Gohan rubbed the back of his head. "She was like that when Videl and I got married..." he muttered.
Chichi walked off muttering something about Mira wearing Chichi's wedding dress. Mira sighed and leaned against Piccolo's shoulder. She thought about when they had first met. She'd screamed at him and bit his hand, and he had knocked her unconsious. Who would've thought, ten years later, they'd be a couple? Mira leaned against Piccolo's shoulder and sighed. It didn't matter wether or not she and Piccolo got married to her, as long as they had each other.
