Bulma sat on the metal chairs in Goku's back yard, watching the two tackle each other and laugh. Piccolo sat beside her, drinking bottled water and eating a bag of Skittles. "How everything between you and Launch?" Bulma asked with a hint of mischief in he voice. Piccolo smiled and pulled on the bandana underneath his hat.
"Ah, it's perfect. I got the perfect girls. I mean, I got two for the price of one! How lucky can a guy get?" he said smiling. Bulma grinned back at him, happy for the very ODD couple. "Want some Skittles?" he offered holding out the bag.
"Yeah sure," Bulma said putting her hand out and putting all of the candies in her mouth. Piccolo watched with amusement as her face twisted up with surprise. The blue eyed girl hit him in the arm playfully. "You jerk, why didn't you tell me it was the sour kind?"
"If I would have told you it wouldn't have been a surprise," he said smiling. There was a sudden musical beeping sound. Piccolo grabbed his pocket and got up. "Be right back," he mouthed to Bulma while pulling out his cellphone and walked into the house.

"Yeah hello?"
"Hey green bean," a voice growled on the other end. Piccolo rolled his eyes and smirked.
"If it isn't the midget," he joked back, "what's up?"
"Nothing.' Listening to Jace scream in the bathroom. Is Goku and Chichi over there?"
"Yeah." Piccolo said taking a seat in the living room. There was a long awkward silence between the two. "And Bulma." He said, reading Vegeta's mind.
"Oh..alright."
"So, are you coming over or what? Bulma needs someone to teach her to play football. I can't do it, you know how the blonde gets..." Piccolo said making a face as if Vegeta was right in front of him. Vegeta laughed half hearted.
"No man."
"Why not?"
"I gotta pack. Remember.."
"Oh yeah, don't you have royal servants and shit to do that for you?"
"Yeah, but I don't want them going through my things."
"Don't want them to see your nasty skid mark boxer shorts huh?"
"No, I don't want them to see your mama's panties she left over here last night," Vegeta hissed back. They both laughed. "Well, I'll be over later. Okay?"
"Yeah all right," Piccolo said hanging up. He looked down in his lap and still chuckled to him self about Vegeta's joke. Most people didn't know they where best friends. As much as they fought and talked about one another, but they where like brothers. Even though Piccolo was green and Vegeta was a little...on the short side. They where like brothers. Goku however was the first to know about Vegeta being royalty. He was the first to know because his father was native born to Vegeta's country and served as a close friend and body guard to the royal family. Piccolo was the second to know. Even though they didn't care for each other all that much when they had met, nothing could break them apart now.
Just as Piccolo started to get up he found himself starring at Bulma leaning agasint the doorway with a can of Dr. Pepper in her hand. "What was that all about?" she asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Ahh...nothing," Piccolo said walking back outside, wondering just how much information Bulma had heard them talking about.
