Love. He did love Gohan, but the feelings he had for Lune were completely different. He felt connected with her. He understood her feelings of incompletion. Even with Nail inside him, he still didn't feel whole. He knew the feeling of abandonment, how neither really had much of a parental figure. But now those feelings were changing. But now he was experiencing confusion. It had been a couple weeks since they said those three words to each other, and she had done everything in her power to avoid him. She never went to train with him, Goku and Gohan. He knew she still felt slightly uneasy with her experience, but he hoped that she knew she didn't need to be afraid. Both himself and Kami promised to never let Gearyn or Kosov get near her.

Love. Did she mean that? Yes, she cared for him, but was it love? Being a warrior she never had time for emotions like that, but with the utterance of those three words, other emotions came with them. She felt guilty for leading his heart on then dropping him like a hat. It wasn't fair to him for her to just forget about him. The least she could've done was keep training him. But she now felt awkward around him. She was also afraid. She was concerned that neither Gearyn or Kosov had come after her. But love or not, she had to make both of them believe that she didn't love him in the hopes that Gearyn would choose him as her mate. At least she would be somewhat happy with him rather than being with a complete stranger. Granted Piccolo did say that this... Dragon could turn her back to normal, she had a feeling that it wouldn't come to pass.

That day Lune went to go train. Vegeta had... demanded that Goku spar with him at Capsule Corp., so while they were fighting, Lune would ask Bulma for the Dragon Radar. She was thankful that Vegeta and Piccolo didn't get along. That meant that Piccolo wasn't going to be there. So as soon as he left to do his own training, she took off.

When Lune arrived at Capsule Corp., Vegeta and Goku were already fighting. Bulma, her parents and Gohan were sitting at a table and talking. When Gohan saw her, he ran over and gave her a big hug.

"Hi Lune! Where've you been?"

"Hey kid," she said as she put her hand on his head. "I've been... thinking. Hey, I need to talk to Bulma for a minute, ok?" He nodded and let go. She walked over to her. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Can I borrow the Dragon Radar?"

"Of course you could, if someone already didn't have it."

Lune slightly panicked. "Who has it?"

"Piccolo does."

Lune flew around in the sky aimlessly. One the one hand she needed to get the dragon radar and turn herself back to normal, but on the other hand she didn't think she could see Piccolo, or if he would even let her have it, without either of them getting angered or upset. The sky started to get dark and cloudy. Lune decided to get on the ground before a storm came in.

Piccolo had found the seventh and last Dragonball, and was about to summon the Dragon. He wanted Lune to be happy, even if that meant they couldn't be together. "Dragon, hear my hail and come make my wish come true!" he yelled into the sky. The sky darkened and lightning began to light up the area. Then the Dragon Shen-long sprang up from the glowing balls.

"You have called me forth from my slumber to grant your wish. Tell me what it is," the Dragon boomed.

"I want the one called Lune to be turned back into a Metranian."

The Dragon was silent for a moment. "That wish cannot be fulfilled."

"WHY!?" Piccolo asked in shock.

"I cannot take away life. She would die if I changed her back. Tell me of another wish."

Piccolo felt defeated. He was at a lost. He had no idea of what to ask of the Dragon that could help Lune. "Can you make it so that the Namek Gearyn or Kosov can make it here to Earth?"

"Yes I can."

"Then make that my wish."

The Dragon's eyes glowed red. "Your wish has been granted. And now I bid you farewell." The Dragon disappeared and the still glowing Balls rose up high into the air, then shot off in different directions.

Piccolo was relieved to some extent. He now had to tell Lune of the good and bad news.

The sky cleared up. "Storm must've been somewhere else," Lune said to herself. She got back up into the air. She made up her mind, she was going to get that Dragon Radar from Piccolo. As fate would have it she saw him approaching her from a distance. She swallowed nervously, but kept flying straight. Moments passed and they were looking each other straight in the face.

"We need to talk," they said in unison.

"You first," Piccolo said.

"Bulma said you had the Dragon Radar, and well, I need to use it..." She waited for Piccolo to lecture her, or make her feel more guilty, but that wasn't what happened.

"It wouldn't be of any use to you now. Which is what I wanted to talk to you about, but not here. You may not be able to handle it. We should land."

"Ok," she said quietly. 'This can't be good,' she thought to herself.

They landed. "Can you at least tell me why the Dragon Radar would be useless to me now?"

"The Dragon was just summoned, which means that He cannot be summoned for another year, and until then the Balls just look like stones."

"Oh. Did you summon Him?"

"Yes. And I have some good and bad news. Which do you want first?"

"The good."

"I asked the Dragon to make sure that Gearyn and Kosov couldn't make it here to Earth."

Lune made a sigh of relief. "Now what's the bad news?"

"The bad news is that the Dragon couldn't turn you back. He said that it would kill you."

Lune had a blank look on her face. She then fell to her knees and started crying. Piccolo sat on the ground next to her and just held her.
