R/N (Reader's Note) form my friend Adrey: I feel sorry for Piccolo. It's kinda Kinky.

Aww.....Thank you Adrey!! = D

Chapter 10: Goku

Goku hadn't left the door's side till long after Piccolo was gone. He sat with his knees pulled up to his chest and head bent as a stream of water poured down his cheeks. His heart screamed for Piccolo's; his body longed to have Piccolo comforting embrace around him, but his mind was made up and would have none of that.

'He's a bastard,' his mind said to reassure him since his voice would not come to say it. 'He's a bastard and a liar and a cheater. You're better off without him.'

"If I'm better off without him," he whispered softly to himself, "then why am I in so much pain? Why do I suddenly want to die?" His mind could think of no reply.

"Goku?" came Krillin's soft voice form a little ways away. "Are you alright?"

The Saiyan wiped his eyes and forced a smile on his face. "Not really, but I'll get over it."

"You wanna talk about it?"

"No. I think I'll just let it take it's course."

Krillin sat beside Goku on the floor and hugged him. "You know I care a lot about you, right? Don't lock up feelings you need to let out when you have me and Tien who will listen to everything." Goku trembled as his emotions for Piccolo washed over him again. He looked at Krillin and the dam collapsed letting him sob away into his best friend's shirt.

Street dancing really did come from deep within Goku's heart. He had taken it up to impress one girl he really liked when he was younger. It didn't work but it was what made Chichi fall for him. Chichi was even the reason he entered the contests and tournaments in the first place. She had always believed in him, had always supported him (until recent dates but Goku understood why and forgave her for not being able to attend every event). However, Chichi was no longer Goku's significant other and beside her was Piccolo, who he had fallen so hard for. To Goku, there seemed to be no reason to keep on dancing since love was the only reason he had to dance.

And the reason he kept losing? It was so easy and simple that Goku overlooked it: he didn't believe in himself. He had always had the belief of others, and that made his dancing great, but to make his dancing extraordinary he needed to believe in his own abilities.

And, as he signed his name on the sign-up sheet for the next tournament in four weeks, that's exactly what Goku had decided to do.

"9997, 9998, 9999, 10,000!" Goku collapsed onto the floor after his last sit-up to take a breather. Sweat ran down the side of his face and he panted heavily from the work. As he laid alone in the room, his mind began to wander to Piccolo for the first time in nearly two weeks. Tears spilled over his face before he could even stop himself and mixed along with the beads of sweat. This was how he had laid before the most cherished time he spent with Piccolo was lived.

"No," he whispered to himself. "No, I can't think about that right now. I've gotta practice for the tournament." But it was too late; he now longed for Piccolo and his body wanted to do nothing more then hold him close.

"G?" came Tien's voice form the doorway. The Saiyan sat up and wiped his face. He put on one of his natural looking fake smiles and turned to face his friend.

"What's up Homie?" he greeted.

"Just came to wish you luck," said Tien, now standing over Goku.

"The tournament isn't till next week."

"I know, but you deserve some early luck since you signed up all by yourself. And so far ahead of time too. What happened to all those protests anyways?"

Goku shrugged and beamed, laughing a bit. "They flew away!" he said throwing his hands in the air.

"I wonder why," Tien said covering his nose and stepping back a bit. "you've been working hard, huh?"

"You bet!"

"Well after you get cleaned up, you're coming with us to Chichi's for dinner tonight, right?"

"Oh, yeah," Goku sighed as his smile disappeared. "Krillin told me about that. I'm not sure I should-"

"You should!" Tien interrupted. "It would be good for you; everyone's going to be there, you'll have a lot of fun. And Chichi said she really wanted you to come. C'mon G, what harm could it do to socialize with your friends?"

"I'll get ready then," said the Saiyan boy as he rose to his feet. He walked off into the bathroom to wash away the signs of his hard work.

Two voices talked and laughed in the living room. Goku couldn't make out what they were saying but he knew one of them was Tien's. The boy finished brushing his messy hair and ran a hand through it to make it look more natural. Humming a little tune to one of his favorite musical artists, he exited the bathroom to see what was happening in the living room.

"Hey Goku! It's been a while, how are you?"

Goku stopped dead in his tracks. There in the living room was Tien, standing next to him was Yamcha and sitting on the couch staring off into space was Piccolo. Yamcha was the one who had spoken; Piccolo looked like he didn't even know Goku was there, let alone where he was. Or maybe he just didn't care about either or.

"Hey," Goku said, surprised to find his voice was still there. "What's all this about?"

"Didn't you tell him?" asked Yamcha looking to Tien.

"Tell me what?" asked Goku, looking from one to the other and back. "What's going on guys?"

"We're going out!" Tien said happily wrapping his arm around Yamcha's waist. "I'll be moving out with Yamcha in a few days so if you want to move into my room with Krillin, I'm sure you're more then welcome too. Or you could move in with Piccolo if you want." He looked to the Namek.

"So, are they coming with?"

Well, Chichi told me to invite Yamcha and I figured you wouldn't mind if Piccolo came too."

"Of course, if you don't want me here, I understand Goku," said Piccolo. He turned his head toward the Saiyan boy and Goku choked. He couldn't turn Piccolo away when he wanted him to be next to his body so badly.

"Did something happen between you two?" asked Tien looking from Piccolo to Goku. They both stayed silent. "Right. Well, as long as there aren't any problems, I guess we can get going. Krillin said he was gonna meet us there."

"So we're taking my car then?" asked Yamcha pulling out his keys.

"Looks like it," said Tien kissing him on the lips. Goku and Piccolo followed silently behind them keeping a small distance between themselves. A distance both yearned to close forever.

"Hey, you boys are just in time. C'mon in, take a seat wherever you like," greeted Chichi at the door.

Goku hugged Chichi warmly and kissed her forehead. "How are you?" he asked looking into her eyes. "You're feeling okay and everything?"

"I'm fine, just fine. Thank you for asking Goku," she replied, blushing a bit. "Just a little morning sickness here and there which means everything is going exactly as it should be. The baby is doing just great." She led the Saiyan into the apartment and to where Krillin was socializing with two people he had never seen before.

One of them, the one Krillin was especially interested in, was a blonde haired chick wearing a tank top and baggy pants. Sitting next to her was a male who looked almost exactly like her only with black hair.

"Goku, I would like you to meet Sammy and his little sister Emily," said Chichi indicating the two sitting next to Krillin. "Sammy, this is Goku; the one who will be the father of our baby."

"Pleasure to meet you," said Sammy. Goku nodded and smiled at him.

"Well, let's start dinner then," said Chichi. Everyone took their places at the table sitting next to the person they wanted to sit next to. Chichi was next to her new lover Sammy and he sat next to his sister Emily. Krillin sat next to the blonde beauty and next to him was Tien holding Yamcha's hand. So this left Piccolo and Goku to sit next to each other much to their pleasure and uncomfortable displeasure.
