FIVE MONTHS LATER . . .
"I think it's time to help Gohan in his training," I said, stretching out my body.

"Alright, the Saiyans won't know what hit them when we're done with him." Piccolo smiled widely, and I had to smile back. We had grown close over the past six months. I had thought before the only person who could really understand me was Goku, but now Piccolo fit into that little group too. I couldn't believe King Piccolo had actually created this guy.

Piccolo tried to act all tough and evil, but he's not like that at all. He just needed a friend, and I was going to be that friend. I transported us to where Gohan was, and saw him chasing a T-rex. I giggled when I saw how scared the dinosaur was.

"Hey Gohan! Pick on someone your own size!" Gohan stopped running towards the dinosaur, and ran to me instead. I put my arms out, and soon Gohan had jumped into my arms.

"Aunt Mindy! I've missed you! Hey Mr. Piccolo!" Gohan waved at Piccolo, and Piccolo did a little wave back. He looked startled that Gohan even acknowledged him.

"I've missed you too kiddo! Are you ready to get to training?" I asked. Gohan nodded his head frantically, and dropped out of my arms. I smiled, and wondered if he was going to fall for a trap I was about to make.

"Hey Gohan, what is that behind you?" I pointed my finger at nothing, and stupidly Gohan looked behind him. I sighed, and kicked him in the back. He went flying, and then landed on the ground roughly.

"Don't get distracted. Also as Piccolo said before we left, never turn your back on your opponent." Piccolo laughed, and Gohan rubbed his back gently.

"That's not very fair," He whined.

"Fighting is never fair! This could have been a life or death situation, and you failed. You could have died right then if Mindy was really your enemy!" Piccolo screamed at the kid. Gohan looked extremely sad, but didn't say anything. I wanted to defend Gohan, but I knew we had to be rough with him. We only had six months left to teach him everything we could before the Saiyans arrived. Excuse me for not allowing any slack.

"Now again Gohan. Come at me with whatever you got." Piccolo said to Gohan, and Gohan ran at Piccolo with pretty decent speed. Piccolo easily, and quickly got out of the way, leaving Gohan to fall face first into the ground. I sighed, and shook my head.

"That was good Gohan, we just need to work on your speed. So that's what we're going to work on. Right Piccolo?" Piccolo shrugged his shoulders.

"We at least have to get two hours of fighting every day." He said, kicking a rock. I nodded my head.

"You hear that Gohan? So we'll rise at nine every Saturday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we'll wake up at seven. Sunday will be our break day."

"Break day? We shouldn't have a break day! We should spend that training!" Piccolo screamed at me. I turned to him with a frown.

"From what I learned from Master Roshi, even the greatest fighters need time to relax. There is nothing wrong with taking a day off, it would help our muscles and make us more focused." I said, flipping a piece of hair out of my eyes. Piccolo rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything more.

"Now Gohan, everyday by the time we wake up till lunch I'll be with you. In that time I'll help you improve the things you need to learn. After lunch to eight, Piccolo will train you. Now I don't know what he would be teaching you, but it will help. At eight we'll eat dinner, eight-thirty to ten Piccolo and I will be doing hand to hand combat on you. So you'll learn how to fight us both off. Ten will be the time we go to bed. You got all of that Gohan?" The small child nodded.

"Good! Now let's see how fast you have gotten in the last six months. I'm going to run all the way to that rock and back. Piccolo, I want you to count my time, then you'll do it and see how you compare to me." I said, pointing at a rock probably thirty miles away. Gohan squinted to see the rock, but he spotted it soon after.

"Ready Piccolo?" He grunted but flashed a smile.

"Go," He said, and I ran as fast as I could. Everything flew past me in a blur. I soon made it to the rock, and took a quick breather. Not like I was wore out or anything, I just need to see if I was in the right place. I quickly ran back to Piccolo and Gohan. Gohan stared at me in awe.

"Not bad, a minute and twenty six seconds. I bet I could beat that time easily."

"Really green bean? I would love to see you try!" He smirked, and got ready.

"Ready, get set, go!" I said and he ran off. We waited, while I counted. Then Piccolo came back. I had a huge smiled on my face.

"A minute and twenty eight seconds."

"What! But, I ran my fastest. How could a mere girl beat me?" He said, but his voice held no anger, actually he was smiling. I smiled back.

"I told you many times, I could beat you in anything. I am no mere girl, I am a great martial arts fighter, and a great warrior. I will never give up till I'm the greatest."

"What will happen when you reach that point?" He asked me.

"I'll become greater," his smile grew larger.

"Mindy, you know your not half bad, for a girl."

"Oh, and here I thought you were going to complement me. But thank you, I guess." Gohan was smiling, he had always liked our mini fights, it seemed to amuse him.

"Your turn Gohan!" I said. Gohan got ready.

"Go!" I yelled. Gohan went in amazing speed for a kid.

"So how long do you think it will take him?" I asked Piccolo. He shrugged his shoulders.

"Anything after five minutes is slow." Ten minutes later Gohan was running back. He was barely out of breath, not a good sign.

"How well did I do?" He asked looking me in the eyes.

"Not bad, for a kid any way. Faster than any human but on our level that was slow. You need to be faster if you want to dodge those Saiyan attacks. And look at you! You're already out of breath!" I put my hand on my forehead, and rubbed my temples.

"Your doing good, just need a lot of work." Piccolo grunted at my comment.

"That's an understatement." I decided to ignore him because he was sort of right. Gohan looked disappointed, so I picked him up in my arms.

"Don't worry kiddo. Your just going to need a lot of work. When we defeat the Saiyans I promise I will train you more."

"If we beat the Saiyans." Piccolo said in the background.

"Thank you Mr. Negative!" I yelled, Gohan giggled, and wrapped his arms around my neck.

"Why don't we get to the fighting part already? I want to see what the kid is made of." Piccolo said with a grin. I smirked and looked at Gohan.

"You ready to see how strong you are?" He nodded. I placed him down on the ground, and Piccolo got into a fighting stance. Gohan looked at Piccolo strangely, and tried to mimic him. Piccolo growled, and stood up straight.

"Sloppy! There is a million ways an enemy could take you out in the beginning of the fight!" Piccolo kicked Gohan's legs together, and his arms lower and a bit farther apart. He turned his body, and lifted his head higher.

"There, now that's how a good fighting stance is supposed to look." He said with a gruff voice.

"Mr. Piccolo?"

"What?"

"This really hurts. My arms feel like there going to give in," Piccolo smiled.

"I thought the woods would toughen you up a bit. Guess I was wrong. Every day when you're with me, you'll be in the prefect fighting stance for an hour till you get it right."

"Come on Piccolo, he just has to get use to it. But I guess that would make him better . . ." I trailed off, thinking of what would happen if the Saiyans destroyed the world. I quickly shook my head and smiled.

"I wanna see a spar!" I said quickly, sitting cross legged on the ground. I guess my face looked childish because I heard Piccolo mutter, "just like Goku." I decided to let that one slide because Goku is my twin brother, and I think the way he acts is just fine, even if he acts like a kid sometimes.

"Mindy, we first have to teach the brat something. Like how to properly fight, then we get to see how the brat spars." I nodded my head, he was right. If he fought sloppy he would most certainly lose against Piccolo.

"Ok, I want you to be in this fighting stance while I tell you the rules of fighting. Rule number one . . ." This was going to be a long day.

It was night time, and Piccolo had just stopped talking.

"Ok, ok, I think it's way over everyone's bedtime. I'll start a fire, and you two get comfortable." I said as I stretched out after sitting on the ground for hours. I felt even more sorry for Gohan as he had to stand in the perfect fighting stance for just as long.

"Fine," Piccolo grunted, and sat down on the ground. Gohan more like fell face first, with an audible groan.

"I can't feel anything!" Gohan whined.

"Get used to it kid, there is a lot more where that came from." Piccolo smiled evilly, and I felt super sorry for Gohan now. Oh how I remember the beginning years of my training. I left the two of them, and was instantly transported into the woods.

I grabbed a little bit of fire wood. It didn't seem too cold tonight, and I didn't think we would need too much of it. A few seconds later I was back with the boys. Gohan had already passed out and was snoring slightly.

"Cute little kid." I smiled sweetly at him, and then got the fire started.

"Yeah, freaking adorable." Piccolo mocked me, and I stuck my tongue out at him. He chuckled softly, and then went back into meditation. With the small fire started, I curled up on the hard, cold ground, and tried going to sleep. I kept drifting in and out, and the reason why was because the wind kept blowing.

Cold bouts of wind would strike at my thin clothes, and every time that happened, I would shiver violently. After about three hours of doing that, I got up in a sitting position, and huffed in annoyance. I looked around the mountainous landscape, trying to find if there was a cave near.

"Why are you up so late Mindy?" Piccolo asked, scaring the life out of me. I jumped in surprise, and turned around to face him.

"Just a little bit nippy out here, don't you think?"

"My cape keeps me warm enough." I eyed his cape in envy. He cocked an eyebrow at me, noticing me staring at his cape. Without thinking, I went over by him, sat down, and wrapped his cape around me. It smelled of summer sun, and wild grass. I curled up into it more, loving the warmth it provided me.

"I hope you don't mind, but I am kinda cold." I looked up at him with my puppy dog eyes, knowing it usually worked on him.

"I guess not," He grunted, looking away kind of awkwardly. I cuddled up to him closer, and slowly put my head on his chest. Piccolo kept absolutely still, and didn't seem very comfortable.

"Am I bothering you?" Piccolo whipped his head back at me, and started blubbering.

"I, uh, No! I mean no, you're not bothering me." He blushed purple, which was the first time EVER that I had seen. I wanted to laugh at the sight, but held it in.

"Good, because you are quite comfortable." I nuzzled my face deeper into his chest, he was like a freaking space heater under here. I heard him sigh in contentment, and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I felt a giddiness in my body that was foreign to me.

My body wanted to be somehow closer to Piccolo, but my mind was filled with this foreign feeling. I couldn't name it, but it was the nicest feeling ever. It even competed with the feeling I got when I was told I was stronger than Goku.

I smiled widely, and soon fell into a deep sleep with Piccolo by my side.

AWW! Ain't that freaking adorable? Gohan is just so cute! I swear I always loved the realationship between Gohan and Piccolo! So freaking adorable! Mindy and Piccolo is gettin cozy. And for who don't know or haven't guess, this will be a MindyXPiccolo. If you feel offended by it or grossed out, then don't read it, cause that's how it's gonna be. Besides, you don't see many PiccoloXOc fics out there! Review please!
