Lonely Fate
One
guards the Time Gate for all eternity,
the other thinks he is too
different to love.
Piccolo's time machine went wrong and he must
stay with Pluto till he fix it.
Fighting loneliness together, yet
Fate does not agree.
Author's note: You all think Piccolo had a smooth ride while going to get Vegeta? I think not! This story is in my point of view.
Chapter 3
"So..."
Setsuna said feeling very nervous. "What brings you to travel
through time? What do you want with Prince Vegeta? And what dimension
are you planning to go to"
Instead of answering, he sat and
closed his eyes with his back towards her. He seemed to be
meditating. 'I demand an answer' Setsuna said in her mind.
"I
don't know anything. I am here to bring Prince Vegeta back to his
time. His woman and kid needs him"
Setsuna felt herself
turning pale. "D- did you say... Wife and kid? Prince Vegeta
is... married? And he has a child"
Piccolo answered back
without turning around and facing her. "Yes. Not actually
married but he is with a woman by the name Bumla. She gave him a son
by the name Trunks"
'Oh dear... This is not good. What have I
done?' Setsuna felt dizzy for the first time.
"What did you
do?" Piccolo ask calmly. Setsuna walk towards him and sat in
front of him. 'Would you at least look at me with I am speaking
please!' Setsuna cried silently and glared.
Piccolo couldn't help
but let out a small grin. And opened his left eye.
"Let me
tell you the forgotten Legend..." Setsuna began. "When two
people, both from royalty, who couldn't have been more different...
fell in love. They thought they had the perfect fate... But it is
everything but perfect..."
After
hearing the story, Piccolo and Setsuna sat in silence. Piccolo
studied the woman in front of him. She clearly is the most beautiful
creature he has ever seen. Long silky green hair and jewel eyes that
snaps at him when she is angry. "I didn't think Vegeta could
have any feelings for anyone but himself"
Setsuna smiled.
"All people can fall in love when they find the right person.
Their soul mate"
Piccolo felt uncomfortable when talking
about the whole love and stuff. He stood up. "I better get
started on that time machine" Setsuna nodded. She watches him
work from a distance.
Setsuna
had decided she enjoys watching him. 'Endyimon has a nicely build
body too' Setsuna reminded herself. 'But not as muscular or as in
shape as Piccolo'
The muscles on his arms budge out whenever he
makes the slightest move.
'I wonder what he looks like with his
shirt off...' Setsuna's thoughts trailed off as Piccolo stopped
working and two pink spot came on his cheeks. Setsuna blushed also as
she remembered he can read her mind.
"Do you need help?"
Setsuna ask politely walking towards him. He doesn't answer but walk
passed her. Setsuna never felt so embarrassed. 'Please come soon
Small Lady...' she plead.
"Who's small lady"
Setsuna
shot a look at Piccolo. "So now you talk. Small Lady is the
princess of Future Crystal Tokyo. She visits me sometimes. We are
really close, she's like... A friend but sometimes..." Setsuna
looks at him to see if he is still listening. He looks back at her
with a blank expression. "Well sometimes, I even like to pretend
she is my own daughter"
Setsuna quickly smiles at him. "This
must be boring you to death. You must think I am silly, to pretend a
princess is my daughter and all"
"I have a student name
Gohan" Piccolo suddenly said. "A stubborn young boy but
learns very quickly..." Piccolo becomes silent and he said
slowly and even a hint of embarrassment. "I like to think he is
my son. He is, my only... Friend"
"How old is he?"
Setsuna ask. "Small Lady is eight"
Piccolo shrugged.
"The boy must have turned ten. I don't know"
Setsuna
smiles at him with twinkles in her eye. "Maybe they could get
together or"
Setsuna felt like slapping herself. She is
talking like a teenage girl. She perfectly knew she can never get
Small Lady involved and what was she even thinking of matching Small
Lady with a saiyajin!
Setsuna fell silent and looks down in shame
of her own thoughts. She changed the subject. "So, do you need
food"
'Another foolish question' Setsuna thought
unhappily.
"No I don't. I get my energy by resting or
mediating" Piccolo answered. "I better get back on working
on that time machine"
Setsuna was about to open her mouth to
tell him she has the key to the door of every dimension but... She
needed someone to fight off her loneliness. She felt horrible of her
own selfish deed.
