Finally, Rogue realized that the short ex-monk could no longer feel what she was inflicting on him. So, she decided to tie him up and wait until he awoke. Then she planned to burn him. I didn't bother asking her where. I had an idea of where and I didn't want my suspicions confirmed.
"Hey Rogue?" I suddenly recalled something.
"What?"
"Why did you call Krillin 'dickless'? Is this a fact you know?" I asked as we stood on the porch, watching her collect some equipment to use on Krillin.
"Eh… I read it in my monthly issue of 'The Bakas of DBZ'." Rogue replied.
I was confused, "Say what?"
"Well, it was started by this DBZ fan who really, really hated Chiaotzu, Tien, and Krillin with a passion. Then, due to demand, she expanded to cover every character. Every magazine has three to six articles, lists, hate fics, etc. on a specific character. There's different characters in every one as sometimes they don't have enough to make a section."
"How do you subscribe?" I asked.
"I'll show you the site sometime." I nodded my thanks and Bana and I made our way to the living room.
"So, what you want to do?" Mike asked, as he lay down on the couch, staring at the ceiling.
"I dunno… I'm too bored to think of something…" Bana answered from where she was sprawled out on the floor.
"Me too…" I said, heaving a sigh. Mirai Trunks was camped out on my tousan's chair and I was glaring at him. I was just about to try to heave him off when Mike announced he had a great idea.
"Do tell!" Bana sat up, ready to do something interesting.
"We could play…" Mike's face got an innocent, yet malicious smirk on it, "Spin the Bottle."
"Seriously?" my eyes lit up with an inner, evil light.
"Oh yeah!" Bana smirked and at that moment she resembled Vegeta greatly.
"What's 'Spin the Bottle'?" Mirai Trunks asked. We all face-faulted and would have sweatdropped if we had been in an anime.
"You don't know what 'Spin the Bottle' is?" Bana asked in an amazed tone.
"Nope."
"Well… don't worry. You'll like it a lot." I said with an evil grin.
"Hey! Father!" Mirai Trunks called out, "We're going to play a game! Spin the Bottle! Want to play?"
"What's 'Spin the Bottle'?" Vegeta asked.
"You'll like it! Believe me!" Bana and I chorused.
"All right then." Vegeta came in followed by Kakarot.
"Can I play?" the younger Saiyan asked.
"Sure!" Mike grinned evilly. Bana and I fixed him with twin glares.
"You'll pay for that, asswipe…" Bana hissed.
"You bastard…" I growled at him.
"Should we share the wealth?" Bana asked me after we had mouthed a few more death threats at Mike.
"Why not? There's enough to go around!" I said. Bana nodded and I got up and yelled the good news at Rogue. She grabbed Krillin and dragged him inside so she could join in the game. Bana ran to the kitchen and retrieved a glass bottle. We all arranged ourselves in a circle, except Krillin, and Mike explained the rules.
"Okay, one of the girls will start us off. She will spin the bottle-"
"Wow! That's the title!" I said sarcastically.
"Shut up!" Mike growled, "Anyway, she will spin the bottle and whoever it lands on will be the person she kisses. The kisses will change every round. Some examples are: cheek, mouth, french, licking and kissing the arms, sucking on toes and/or fingers, etc."
"But," I cut in, "if it lands on a person of the same gender as the spinner, the bottle with be spun again."
"What?!?" Vegeta yelled, "I will play no such game!"
"Yeah! Chichi would kill me!" Kakarot paled.
"The onna would be more pissed off then ever before!" Vegeta looked almost scared.
"Awh… can Veggie and Kakie be controlled by women?" I said mockingly.
"That's okay, boys," Bana said patronizingly, "If you're too afraid to play, we understand."
"Afraid to play?" Vegeta growled.
"Yeah, if you want to be babies that's okay." I added.
"Boys? Babies?" Kakarot's face hardened with resolution and he had a new look on his face that resembled the one that he wore when he face Frieza, "I'm not a child! C'mon Vegeta! We can do this!"
"So long as the onnas don't find out…" Vegeta mumbled under his breath, unaware that Bana, Rogue and I could hear him.
"Round one! Cheeks!" Mike announced. He seemed to have decided to be both a player and referee of the game.
"Which set?" Rogue asked impishly. Her entire face shone with an inner evil that was just about to be let loose on the world.
Kami save the Saiyans… I thought to myself with a mental smirk. "I'll start us off!" I yelled and grabbed the bottle. I gave it a good, fast spin and waited to with bated breath to see who would be the first victim.
"Where to next Zar?" Piccolo felt like he was going to collapse from exhaustion. I never knew trying to keep track of four chibis could be so hard… he heaved a sigh.
"The otters!" Zar yelled and ran off. The chibis were close behind him. Piccolo shook his head and began walking, following the chibis' ki. He was just so damn tired, almost more tired then he had ever been in his life before. Why me, Kami? Why ME? Gah… now I know why I never decided to have a kid…
When he arrived on the scene, he would have started pulling his hair out if he had been human and screaming. But Nameks are much more composed in stressful times and so Piccolo just grimaced.
The four chibis had somehow gotten into the exhibit and the two humans were petting the otters and feeding them fish they had gotten somehow. The demi-Saiyans were swimming with the otters and diving for stones at the bottom of the pool. Trunks came up hauling a rock as big as his head. The other people visiting the zoo started clapping while an annoyed looking caretaker talked to a few burly security guards.
"Shit…" Piccolo muttered under his breath. He leapt over the small wall and landed in the middle of the habitat. He looked over at Zar and Vicky with murder in his eyes.
"Eh… Hiya Piccolo-sama… what's up?" Zar smiled sheepishly.
"Out. Now." Piccolo growled.
"But Piccolo! We were just starting to have-" Goten started.
"I SAID NOW!" Piccolo barked.
"Okay, okay. Sheesh. Keep your turban on." Trunks muttered as he jumped over the wall, taking Vicky with him as she had grabbed onto his arm again. Goten followed and Piccolo grabbed Zar by the back of his shirt and threw him over the wall. Luckily, Goten was there to cushion his fall. Piccolo followed them.
"Okay! That's it! No more-"
"Tiger feeding time!" Goten and Trunks yelled after they heard some people beside them mention it.
"YEAH!" Vicky and Zar screamed. The four chibis took off again.
"No… not again…" Piccolo took a ragged breath and sat down on a bench, "I'm gonna cry…"
"Don't cry Piccolo!" A voice beside him said.
"Yeah!" chimed in two voices.
"We'll cheer you up!" another voice said. Piccolo looked up and saw a group of girls surrounding him.
"W-who are you?" Piccolo asked, afraid of the answer.
"Why Piccolo!" a brunette said with a hurt expression, "How could you not know me? I've written so many yaoi fics about you and Gohan! You two are so kawaii!"
"But I fancy you and Nail more! Or Dende! Or all of you!" said a blond with a hentai smirk.
"W-w-what?"
"Hey! Bulma and Piccolo forever!" a guy in the back said. A few girls took him down with yells of "No! GOHAN!" or "VEGGIE AND PICCIE!" or "GOKU ALL THE FUCKING WAY, BABY!" or even one "PICCOLO AND ROSHI!"
"But… I'm asexual." Piccolo said in a confused voice.
"WHAT?!?" the group screamed as one.
"YOU CAN'T BE PICCOLO! I'VE WAITED MY ENTIRE LIFE FOR YOU!" the blond howled.
"YEAH! YOU'RE MY ONE TRUE LOVE!" the brunette screamed.
"I LOVE YOU PICCOLO!" the guy yelled and ran through the crowd to throw his arms around Piccolo's neck and give him a kiss on the cheek.
"NO! HE'S MINE!" the blond screamed and ripped the guy off so she could punch him in the face.
"NO! MINE!" a raven-haired thirty-year-old woman shrieked, kicking the blond in the stomach and then accidentally punching the brunette. This little accident started a full-fledged riot. Piccolo flew over the mob and then landed a ways away. He leaned up against a wall, breathing heavily.
"My Kami… they love me?" Piccolo shuddered. He leaned against that for a moment, composing himself. Then, he reached out and searched for the chibis' ki. They were no where to be found…
"Boy, am I glad you taught me 'n Vicky to hide our kis when we were playing hide 'n seek!" Zar said with a grin as they stood outside the lion pen.
"Yeah!" Vicky agreed from where she clung to Trunks' arm.
"Well, here's the plan…" Goten and the two humans listened as Trunks outlined a wonderfully evil plan entitled Operation: Fill 'em up.
"What if we get in trouble?" Zar asked after it was fully explained.
"Well… then we do this." Goten showed them the Son Puppy Eyes™ and had the other three practice them for a few minutes. Then, Goten and Trunks set off for the deer pen while Zar and Vicky began to scope out the tiger exhibit.

Jeril: Poor Piccolo… I'm soory!! It was just too rich of an opportunity to pass up!! Oooo… They're playing Spin the Bottle! Muwhahaha… I'm thinking of figuring out what happens in the game by using a bottle and things to represent the characters IRL. O.o;; Did that make sense? I hate it when I don't make sense. -_- It happens to me a lot…
Vegeta: That's because you're a baka and a stupid ikeike.
Jeril: Why do you call me names? *sniffles* I write this entire fic about you and you call me names! Waaaaaaaaaaaah!! *starts crying*
Vegeta: *rolls eyes* Oh Kami… not again…
Kakarot: Cheer up Jer! Have a creampuff! *hands Jeril a creampuff*
Jeril: *sniffles* Well, at least someone has some manners! *eats the creampuff* Kakarot, sometimes you can be so better then Vegeta.
Vegeta: Kakarot? Better then me! NEVER! *throws a creampuff at Jeril* Here! Have a creampuff! HAVE THE WHOLE BOX! *throws the box at her*
