Chapter 3: You're a real pretty girl!


"BANG!BANG!BANG!" the front door was almost knocked off its hinges by Piccolo's insistent knocks. She waited a bit and then could make out the faint sounds of bickering between the saiyan and his woman , probably about who would have to get up and get the door. It was kinda early around 6 o'clock in the morning but Piccolo was in no mood to wait for those two to get up around noon. Piccolo was just about to knock again when she heard the faint sounds of feet on hard wood flooring. The door opened abruptly and a very angry and annoyed saiyan prince stood there in nothing but a pair of boxer shorts. Piccolo could tell by his facial expression that she should have chosen a later time but it was too late now.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT ?" yelled the man at the nervous teen. Piccolo then came back to reality and remembered the true meaning as to why she was here.

"I need to see Bulma!" Piccolo stated flatly knowing well that calmness makes Vegeta more annoyed. Vegeta was about to slam the door in the girls face before he realised what she was wearing. Piccolo noticed the saiyan's pause and asked what was the matter as if nothing was wrong. Vegeta sweat dropped and looked at the girls face intently. His eyes went wide as he stuttered a ???"

"Why don't you take a picture it lasts longer" Piccolo was in no mood to wait she wanted an answer. The proud saiyan just stood there so Piccolo took that as a sign to let herself in, she pushed him aside not all too gently and stepped up to the stairwell.

"BULMA!!" Piccolo screamed not caring if she woke the entire city . This must have awoken the mighty Prince from his trance and he closed the door and also yelled for the blue-haired woman.

"WOMAN! GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE THIS MINUTE!" Grumbling could be heard and then foot steps. A second or two later Bulma was walking down the stairs dressed in a night gown with a house coat quickly thrown over it , she didn't look too pleased.

"What is so important that we both had to get up?" she asked looking at Vegeta judgingly as if he didn't even have a reason. Vegeta just frowned and shook his head in Piccolo's direction. Bulma turned and was face to face with this strange girl with dark green hair dressed peculiarly like Piccolo.

"Oh hello there who are you?" Bulma asked still half asleep. Piccolo was getting impatient and was clenching her fists in order to refrain from strangling someone.

"It's me Bulma,.... Piccolo." Bulma looked at her with slightly wider eyes, then over at Vegeta , then back to the girl claiming to be Piccolo. She laughed out load causing both Piccolo and Vegeta to sweat drop and fall to the floor.

"SHE'S NOT JOKING WOMAN!" Vegeta screamed.

"But ...but.. you can't be, Piccolo he's green ,.... and big,....and male!" She empathised that last one. Piccolo just rolled her eyes and gave Bulma a 'don't-piss-me-off-I'm-hostile' kind of look.

"Hehe, okay lets say you are Piccolo ,what happened to you?" Bulma asked.

"Yeah ,that's exactly what I want to know" Vegeta added. Piccolo closed her eyes and started to tell them all she knew, that someone used the dragonballs and she has to wait at least 4 months. Once all this was said there was a kind of awkward silence , then Vegeta started to laugh uncontrollably. This really pissed Piccolo off, this situation was bad enough without the monkey prince all excited.

"I don't see what's so funny." Piccolo stated trying to get the saiyan to stop laughing. After a few more moments Vegeta finally cooled down.

"Wow, this really is a problem huh? I mean you were turned into a human girl and you don't even know why. That's strange. But why did you come here?" Bulma was curious why Piccolo decided to grace their doorway with this news.

"Well with all your technology I was hoping maybe you could find a way to change me back without having to wait to use the dragonballs." Piccolo added

"plus I didn't know where else to go." Bulma was surprised he had said that since she had thought that he didn't really like them, but then decided to let it slide.

"Well I could see what I can do but I really doubt that I will be able to change someone from one species and one gender to the opposite especially before the four months till you can use the dragonballs again but I will try. Until then I guess you can stay here Piccolo I might need to run some tests and it would be difficult for Vegeta to fly to the lookout every time I needed you." Piccolo nodded and excepted the invitation.

Vegeta just sat there drinking the tea that Bulma had made them .

"Umm..is something wrong Piccolo you're not touching your tea?"

"Huh, oh well no nothing's wrong it's just that the only thing I've ever eaten or drunk had been water. I don't know how I'm going to be able to adapt to all the changes this body will need." Piccolo looked down at her reflection in her tea ,what was she going to do?

"Hmm...I guess I'll just have to be your guide. I've never had a daughter." Bulma looks towards Piccolo as if she were a Barbie doll that Bulma gets to dress up.

"Don't get any ideas in your head woman! The namek is not your child." Vegeta grumbled.

"Well duh, I knew that, it's just that Piccolo doesn't know much about being human or female so I will have to be the one to show her, just like a real child."

"Hellooooo, you guys do know that I'm still here so you don't have to talk as if I was a third person." Piccolo mumbled at the disregard she was being shown.

"Piccolo, I've been meaning to ask you. How old are you in human years?" Bulma was curious because as a namek Piccolo look in his late twenties while this girl was just in her late teens.

"I am 18 in human years."

"WHAT!?! really?" Everyone turns to see a little boy with purple hair starring at them with his mouth wide open.

"Oh Trunks I didn't know you were up? Come here there's something I want to tell you." Bulma guides the boy to sit on one of the kitchen chairs.

"Is it about Piccolo being an 18 year old human girl and that she's staying here for a while?" Trunks asks with a small sleepy-eyed smirk on his face.

"Hehe, my little ease-dropper!" Bulma says that with a sarcastically proud twist.

"Wow Piccolo! You're a real pretty girl!" Trunks blurts out looking at Piccolo.

"WHAT!?!" Piccolo sweat drops and falls off her chair. Vegeta is soon to follow as he cracks up with laughter.
