Ok I haven't seen very many epps with Piccolo so I'm not to sure about his character. So if I screw him up I'm sorry!!!! I know he has no sex but he's pretty smart he knows that humans do have different sexes and he can tell them apart.(at least in this story he can!)

Also, I HATED the epp where Chi-chi met Videl I thought that was so poorly done!! They would of never acted like that!! Come on! Sticking there tongues out? so I decided to change it!!!(Back in chap. 1 of course!)

Chapter 4

Disclamer see other cahps.





Videl sat down next to Piccolo on the soft grass stretching her legs out in front of her. She looked over at him closely studing his green skin.

"I've never met an alien before." Videl said absent mindedly.

Piccolo raised an eyebrow at her (A/N does Piccolo have eyebrows??) "Never?" He asked amused glancing over at Gohan. Videl shook her head no and he smirked as he closed his eyes. Piccolo sat with his legs crossed and went into a deep meditation.

Not wanting to disturb him her eyes stayed focused on Gohan as he ran over to speak to Vegeta.

"Hey Vegeta, I think we could get a better work out if we didn't go super. I mean the longer we can go without turning the stronger we will be when we change." Gohan stuttered out nervously hoping that his statement made more sense to Vegeta than it did to him.

Vegeta humphed without answering him. Gohan took it as a positive humpf and decided to risk pushing it further. "In fact maybe we shouldn't do any energy attacks either. I mean we really don't need to use them at the tournament so..."

"Shut up Brat! You're babbling worse than a woman." Vegeta spat as he threw a punch, which Gohan easily maneuvered around.

"OH Ok." He said as he quickly side stepped several of Vegeta's attacks and returned some of his own.

Videl sat wide-eyed as Vegeta and Gohan moved almost faster than she could see. In fact they both increased their tempo as there arms and legs moved with lightning speed in perfect rhythm. They seemed to levitate off the ground as their concentration and their attacks increased.

: Hey wait a minute they are off the ground!: Videl thought to herself her eyes widening once more soon there movements were too fast for her to see. It was just one colorful blur after another almost making her dizzy. She glanced over at Piccolo and noticed that he had not moved at all. Goten and Trunks were at the other end of the field chasing each other. Suddenly a bright flash lit up the sky. She was surprised as she actually felt the energy from the bright ball of light speeding toward her. It was as if time has stopped as she sat mesmerized.

Suddenly a strong arm grabbed her around the waist and flung her to the ground out of the way. Laying on top of her protectively. She felt the heat as the ball of energy missed her by a foot or so.

"No!!!!" Gohan screamed as he saw Piccolo throw Videl to the ground and shield her body with his own as they were pounded by dirt and rocks from the small mountain behind them that exploded from the blast.

He had never moved so fast in his life as he ran to her where Piccolo pulled himself up.

"Videl! Are you okay?" He asked gently turning her over.

"What am I chopped liver?" Piccolo muttered trying to hide to sparkle in his eye.

"Gosh thanks Piccolo you saved her life!" Gohan gushed as he cradled the moaning Videl in his arms. He knew that Piccolo was watching him intently and he cursed silently as he felt his cheeks coloring.

"Bahh!" Vegeta guaffed landing next to the group. "The blast wasn't even that close to her!" Gohan growled low in his throat.

"Don't try me Vegeta." He said his eyes flashing green adding to his threat as his face turned to stone. He relaxed and carefully looked down at Videl.

Videl slowly opened her eyes to see Gohan's green, no now they black again, eyes looking at her concerned.

: Great now I'm seeing things: Videl thought as she realized that she was nestled in Gohan's strong arms again. Embarrassed she wiggled free.

"What happened?" She asked looking around at the devastation around her.

"Well.. umm.. You were almost hit by a meteorite!" Gohan blurted out too quickly: Stupid Gohan! She's never gonna fall for that one!: he thought as he scratched the back of his neck nervously.

"Is everyone Okay?" she asked looking around worriedly for Goten. She was surprised to see that him and Trunks never even stopped playing. She looked over at where Piccolo and Vegeta were standing above her.

"Yeah! We're all fine!! Luckily Piccolo moved you out of the way in time!" Gohan said talking a little too fast like he usually did when he got nervous.

Videl gave Piccolo a brilliant smile. "Wow there's all kinds of superhero's around here. Thanks Piccolo. Are you sure your okay I know some of those rocks must have hit you."

"I'm fine." Piccolo said shortly. He hated being the center of attention.

"Nameks aren't as weak as human's." Vegeta sneered.

Videl looked at him strangely.: Humans?:

Gohan laughed and pulled her to her feet.

"Well I'm exhausted! All this excitement! You ready to go?" He asked Videl hopefully.

She turned on him flames practically shooting out of her eyes. "No you said we could train and I haven't gotten to do anything yet!"
