"Chi-chi needs to know." Goku said. Vegeta and Krillin stiffened.
"Ah, yeah. You can do it Vegeta." Krillin said.
"Are you nuts? I'm going back to Bulma, she doesn't swing frying pans at my head every time she sees me." Vegeta said and blasted off.
"Thanks for your help!" Goku yelled after him. Vegeta stopped and turned.
"The Namek's collapsed!" Vegeta called back and then flew off into the sunset. Goku quickly looked over to the battlefield. He flew over and found Piccolo lying on the ground.
"Piccolo?" Goku asked quietly. Piccolo's eyes opened tiredly and he frowned just a little.
"Goku, I was sleeping." Piccolo said, his voice a low growl. Goku smiled and rubbed the back of his head.
"Sorry. Just checking on you. How do you feel?"
"I've been better."
"You really kicked Bellva's butt. Thankyou." Goku said. Piccolo nodded and gave Goku a small smile and then fell asleep again. Goku let him rest and flew back to where Gohan's body was. Krillin was staring at Goku for some reason.
"What's wrong Krillin?" Goku asked.
"Your halo, it's gone." Krillin said.
"Yeah Dad." Gohan's voice echoed through their heads.
"Gohan!" Goku exclaimed. Gohan laughed.
"King Kai's pretty awesome."
"I like your son Goku." King Kai said. "King Yemma got sick of you going in and out, so he made you live again."
"Oh. Thank him for me." Goku said scratching his head with a goofy smile.
"Dad, King Kai's agreed to train me how to do the spirit bomb and kao-ken. Cool, huh?" Gohan said excitedly. Goku smiled.
"Yeah. Good luck with Bubbles and Gregory."
"Huh?"
"You'll see. So, King Kai got his planet back, huh?"
"Yeah. Apparently he won it from West Kai, or something."
"Ha ha ha. Good on him. West Kai is really full of himself."
"Well, I hate to break this up but, I am getting really tired." King Kai interrupted.
"Dad, I guess I'll see you when you wish me back."
"Gohan, wait!" Krillin yelled. "I'll miss you little buddy."
"Relax Krillin, I'll be back in no time." Gohan replied. Goku looked across at where Piccolo was. He was sitting up, and his mouth was moving so Goku knew Gohan was now talking to his mentor. Goku smiled.
Piccolo looked up as Gohan's voice entered his head.
"Hey Piccolo. Are you okay?" Gohan asked. Piccolo smiled.
"Yeah kid. I'm fine…now." the Namek responded with a smile. Gohan laughed.
"Awww, Piccolo, stop making fun." he said. There was a pause, "I really miss you."
"Me too, kid."
"See ya."
"Gohan! I-I love you too, kid." Piccolo said. He suddenly had a mental picture of Gohan smiling and waving. Piccolo smiled and let a tear slide down his cheek.
