Disclaimer: Once again, I do not own Dragonball Z. *Sigh* why do we have
to put these things here? Why can't there just be an understanding between
us and the DBZ owners? It would make life so much easier…
Gohan stared at Piccolo, pondering on what had just been said. Piccolo…"Mr. I'm-too-tough-to-show-my-emotions-now-leave-me-alone-before-I- blow-your-brains-out"… was in love? With a human woman? Impossible, Gohan must have heard him wrong!
"Yeah, kinda hard to believe, ain't it?" Piccolo laughed, reading Gohan's face. Gohan noticed that Piccolo's eyes had a strange sparkle in them. "Her name is Virginia."
"Virginia?" Virginia was such a plain, ordinary name that more than often belonged to a plain and ordinary woman! Gohan had always imagined the type of woman Piccolo would fall in love with, but she always had a tough name like Olga and was no where near ordinary.
"Isn't it a beautiful name? Course, she looks more beautiful than she sounds, and her personality is twice that."
"What does she look like?" Gohan asked, trying to picture what this Virginia would look like in a wedding dress…he had given up on imagining Piccolo in a tuxedo.
"She's got long blonde hair that looks like gold when the sun hits it. Her eyes are like pools of clear water, and if you stare at them long enough, you can see right down into her soul. And her smile…oh, she has such a wonderful smile," Piccolo whispered, closing his eyes.
Gohan, after Piccolo's little speech, came to the conclusion that Virginia was some sort of witch and had cast an evil spell over Piccolo, which explained why he was acting so out of character.
"Look, the sun's coming up," Piccolo said, sitting up and looking in the direction of the horizon. Gohan also sat up, and saw that a small sliver of sky had turned pink.
"So, you've been with her for the past three days?" Gohan asked.
"Yes, I have."
"But why?" Gohan yelled, standing up. "The Androids will be here in less than two months! We have to train! We have to get ready for them, and all you're doing is frolicking around with some girl while the end of the world is coming!"
"You think I haven't thought about that? Gohan, listen to me!" Piccolo stood up and grabbed Gohan by the shoulders, staring him in the eye. "I know that the end may be coming, and I also know that there is high possibility that I might not live through it. Gohan, stop squirming and listen to me! Two months, Gohan! I've just met the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with, and I've only got two months! Two months to give her my every being, every inch of my soul, to prove to her that I love her, and to be loved by her! Gohan, what if you had just met your family for the first time, and you only had two months with them? You'd want to spend every single waking moment with them! Wouldn't you?" Gohan looked away from Piccolo's pleading eyes, unable to answer his question.
But one thing was for sure: he was glad he wasn't old enough to fall in love, especially with a witch like Virginia.
