A/N: Kay-chan pulls out frying pan looks around "Aha!" *WHACK* "Bad Writer's Block!  Go to your room!" Turns to readers and clears throat… Kay-chan would humbly request you forgive her, the Writer's Block escaped and it took a while to chase down…

On a happy note, most of you did get the last chapter's title: Break Me Off A Piece Of That Kit-Kat Bar.  (Hands out Kit-Kat's to everyone who guessed right) This chapter only has one word missing, and I've given you a bit of the song, since this one may be a bit harder.

I don't own Leslie.  Kay-chan gets tapped on shoulder – "It says Disclaim-er, not Disclaim-her  Oh.  I don't own DBZ either :)

Chapter 5: Pop-o-matic, pop a dice, pop a six and you move twice … Pop-o-matic, That's …

      Videl spun around, and for the second time that day, her jaw dropped.  Standing in front of her was a "little green man".  On second thought, he wasn't that little, but he sure was green!

      Videl attempted to say something intelligent.  It went something like "Bu .. he … uh … budyrb?"

      Piccolo blinked, beginning to think it wasn't that great an idea to come here.  Deciding it was too late to turn back now, he continued to look at the short pony-tailed girl before him.  She continued to make strange noises.  Looking around, Piccolo discovered the second-greatest talent of teenagers, the ability to remain completely oblivious.  The makeshift pyramid continued to grow.  Though not in a strictly pyramid shape.  It was beginning to look more like a football pile-up, with students draped haphazardly over one another, in various states of comfort.  Those near the top were attempting to get off the ones underneath, but were just succeeding on stepping and falling onto others.  Smiling slightly to himself, he turned his attention back to Videl, who had apparently succeeded in pulling herself together.

      Videl, finding herself the object of the green man's attention once again, proceeded to gulp.  Loudly.

      "I said," Piccolo repeated.  "What … is … going … on … here?" Hoping if he said it slow enough, the girl would just answer the question.

      Unfortunately, as soon as he started speaking, Videl jerked backwards quickly, right into Gohan's body.  She fell backwards onto her butt, and proceeded to glance down at Gohan, who was still out of it, though he had stopped the mumbling.

      Looking back up, she found the alien (for that's what he must be!) coming closer, and immediately scooted backwards as fast as she could, after making sure she wasn't on top of Gohan any more.

      Humans … they live with talking cats, dogs, and other odd animals … give them one Namek and they think the world is ending … Thought Piccolo.  Conveniently forgetting he had at one point been trying to take over the world.

      Deciding that at least for the moment, speaking with the pony-tailed girl would be useless, he proceeded to go over to Gohan.  Doing a quick scan, he determined that nothing was broken, and there didn't seem to be any bleeding.  And although Gohan seemed to be unconscious, his ki was at a reasonable level.  Snorting, he nudged the boy with his foot.  And promptly yelled.  Gaining the attention of the class, who looked up from various stages of untangling themselves to see the large turban-and-cape green alien dude (as he was later referred to as).

      "Ahhhh!"

      "Look at that!"

      "Aliens are among us!  I told you so!"  (This last came from Joe, the self-proclaimed nerd)

      "What's with all the blue?"

      "You're looking at my shirt dummy!"

      "Ah, who cares, we almost had the pyramid."  (Piccolo sweatdropped)

      Videl, upon noticing most of the class' attention was now directed at the three of them, proceeded to wrench herself out of shock.

      "Hey!"  She yelled at Piccolo.  "Leave Gohan alone!"

      "Huh?"  Was Piccolo's response.  Looking down, he was reminded what he had been surprised at.  Gohan's tail was back.  Again.  For what must have been the third or fourth time [1]

      Deciding it would be better to get Gohan away from the rest of these … children until he figured out how Gohan's tail grew back again.  Taking a quick glance at the sky to check to see if the moon had somehow come back, seeing nothing he reached down to pick up.

      *WHACK* "OW!"  Videl stared at her fist.  That had really hurt.  What kind of person was this!  Taking another looks, she remembered, an alien.  It made sense for him (was it even a him?)  to be extra strong.

      Piccolo in the meantime, paused, for an untrained human (which in his mind was anyone who wasn't a Z-Fighter), she had quite a punch.  Looking down at Gohan, he vaguely remembered the boy mentioning something about that idiot Hercule's daughter.  And the fact that he liked to go around in that hideous costume and call himself "The Great Saiya-something" while helping the girl with police work.  Snorting, he remembered watching Gohan from time to time, and wondering if the actual Police could do anything other than use the watch-phone to call the girl.  Now what on earth was her name…

      "Videl!  You get him!"  A blond girl called from what was quickly becoming the sidelines.

      So that was her name, Videl.  He seemed to remember Gohan blushing when his mother mentioned grandchildren and a certain someone from school.  Or for that matter grandchildren and anyone from school.  Chichi didn't actually seem to have any particular preference, as long as they were female, and would give her "Lots of Grandchildren!" in her words.

      Piccolo, thinking it might be a good idea to try speaking with the girl, again, said "So.  What happened?"

      Videl, holding her smarting hand, glared at him.

      Piccolo waited, somewhat patiently.  It wasn't like he had anywhere better to be.  Dende was going to wait for him to return to have a match of checkers.  The little guy loved saying "King Me!"

      Videl, thinking quickly about what she should say, cleared her throat and asked "Who are you?  And why do you care what happened to Gohan?"

      Piccolo frowned, causing Videl to flinch, hoping that if the green guy decided to hit her, his fists wouldn't be as hard as his arm was.

      "That is none of your concern, little girl."

      Videl huffed at the 'little girl' comment.  Noone should dare talk to the daughter of Satan Hercule that way!  she thought to herself, deciding to be nasty back to the big green thing, "Then I guess it's none of your concern what happened to Gohan either!"

      Piccolo growled.  Deciding he didn't want to be in the middle of another fight (Mr. Popo had 'caught' Piccolo teaching Dende Poker earlier, and had decided Piccolo shouldn't be distracting the guardian from his duties), he decided just to grab Gohan and get out of there.

      Reaching down quicker than the students could see, he grabbed Gohan unceremoniously by the back of his vest, being careful not to rip it.  Even he didn't want to be around if Chichi found out he was the reason Gohan's school outfit had a rip in it.

      Taking one last look at the girl, Videl, he jumped into the air.

----------------------------------------

[1]  I figure Gohan was born with his tail, and got it cut off once during the whole Turles thing, then twice during training with Piccolo (with the real moon, and once with the fake one from Goku's ship), and then with Vegeta.

Gomen nasai Minna!  I'll get the next one out sooner, promise!

Should I have Videl try to follow them in her copter, or have her "attend" to other things?
