Chapter Six: A Talk With Piccolo

-

Piccolo had not been seen much during the whole arrival of his 'older' student, but now T. Gohan was looking for him. Apparently he hadn't changed to much in the future because Mirai Gohan found him under his usual waterfall. Either that or the kid just had a good memory, which was also could very easily be the answer.

He looked up the moment he heard Gohan's feet touch the grass. He looked at the older version of his student with a question in his eyes. Gohan nodded his head and grinned at him. He walked over to Piccolo and looked at him expectantly. Piccolo just looked at him strangely and T. Gohan sighed slightly in exasperation.

"You gonna move over so I can have some room? I need to meditate. The last few days have been…hectic." Piccolo nodded and moved over a little. Surprisingly, it was also him who started a conversation between the two instead of vice versa.

"What's been going on kid?" Gohan looked at him strangely and then nodded his head in understanding to what he was saying.

"I've been…remembering stuff. Well, more like looking into the future for you guys." Piccolo looked at him, telling him to explain what he meant. "…There's one major battle after the androids, but I won't go into specifics considering the fact that…" Gohan stopped for a moment to figure out the right word, "…I don't know if I want to change the timeline, like Mirai did." Gohan drooped his shoulders and felt Piccolo's hand on his shoulder.

"Is anything bad happening in your time now kid?" Gohan looked to the water that was beneath the stone he was sitting on.

"Not…necessarily…I mean, there are things that I would just love to change, but at the same time, I don't know what life would be without that past. If I didn't have it, I don't think I'd be me." Piccolo looked at him again, just staring kind of.

"What have you become?"

"That's the thing. I don't know! I can be pretty much everything… After a while, I started taking my dad's role in about everything…" Gohan really hoped that Piccolo didn't pick up that it meant 'since my father is dead, I have to take his place', either that or that he wouldn't mention it to anyone. It would be a pain in the ass if he did.

"You grew up kid, that's what you were supposed to do." Gohan looked at the water, just watching the bugs, and creatures swim and walk over it.

"I didn't want to grow up but I had to." He whispered. Since a Nameks' hearing is better than a humans, he didn't have to strain to hear it.

"Everyone grows up kid." He saw Gohan smile weakly and saw him turn his head to look at him. He let out a mirthless chuckle.

"Piccolo, have you honestly met my dad? Because I really don't think that you did…" Piccolo raised an eyebrow at the boy.

"Technically, your father did grow up." Gohan snorted. It was okay to act like this in this world. His father was still alive.

"Just in height." Piccolo looked at him strangely. Gohan seemed to have gotten a strange and misty look in front of his eyes. Usually he only gets it when he's remembering the past, which is what Piccolo figured that he was doing.

"He was one of the greatest." Piccolo looked at him again and this time noticed that Gohan was a little far out of it and would take a little more effort to make him snap out of it. Luckily, he didn't get in to deep this time.

"I can't believe I did that… I should stop being so hard on myself though. He doesn't blame me. But he's dad. Of course he wouldn't blame me. Everyone else says they don't blame me but I know that they all think that I killed dad…" Piccolo's eyes widened. "I think I killed dad too… It was seven years ago though… Maybe it dulled what they felt…" Piccolo's eyes widened even more. He was finding out things that he shouldn't have and was probably kind of betraying his student's trust. He put his hand on Gohan's shoulder, snapping the black haired boy out of his trance-like state. Gohan blinked a few times before looking at Piccolo.

"Heh, I guess I spaced out there for a minute, didn't I Piccolo?" Piccolo nodded his head to Gohan who stood up. "I better get going, Videl said she was going to take me shopping, without my mom and Bulma, which is a very good thing. It was great seeing you again Piccolo!" Piccolo nodded his head to him and then went back to concentrating on his brand new thoughts that he tried to push out of his head since he shouldn't have them yet.

Goku died, they didn't wish him back, and Gohan is still blaming himself seven years after this thing happened?! What happened?

Videl and Gohan walked down the halls of the mall. Without Bulma and Chichi there, it made looking for clothes much more fun.

Videl looked at a store that sold t-shirts and saw one that caught her eye. She grabbed Gohan and pulled him over to the store quickly, and showed him the t-shirt. Gohan laughed at it and put it back onto the rack.

It was a normal black t-shirt, except the back of it said 'I'm a Jackass'. Videl picked it back up and looked at the size.

"Hey! Look! It fits you!" Gohan looked at the size of the shirt and then back to her confused, but not innocent confused, he had an evil glint in his eye.

"How do you know what my shirt size is Videl?" Videl was caught off guard with that question, but decided that if she couldn't answer it, she might as well go around it.

"I bet…" She looked around the mall until she saw twins going up to a candy shop and order something, "…that you have to wear that 'Jackass' shirt for a few days next week if those two order the same thing!" Gohan looked at her and then back to the twin girls. The person in the back was currently scooping popcorn into a box, for one of the girl's he was sure. He saw one of the girl's looking at the slushie machine. He nodded his head at her.

"I'll take that bet, and you'll have to make me food for a week if I win." They nodded and looked back at the twins. The first one got what she wanted, but she looked like she just couldn't decide. She finally pointed to the small popcorn box and a pop.

It was the same food but had an extra on it.

Gohan and Videl looked at each other and then to the jack ass t-shirt.

Videl went into the sporting goods store next door and grabbed some wrist bands. When she came back into the t-shirt shop Gohan asked her a question.

"What are those for?"

"These are for my wrists while I cook your food. I do not want a sprained wrist while I'm making these meals."

"You know Videl, I thought it was a joke." She shrugged at him.

"I think that it was real. One girl ordered popcorn one ordered popcorn and a drink. We both lost. We both won." She looked at the wristbands that she had just bought, "and one must pay the consequences for their actions." Both of them shivered and Gohan went up and bought the shirt and a pair of black jeans. Videl told him too because if he didn't, the black shirt would clash terribly with the red pants. You don't want that to happen, now do you?
