The young boy sat legs folded in a lotus position. He was in the lap of his father. The boy, who's name was Tenshen was not a young babe anymore, he was a strong, healthy boy of 5 years. Only 5 years ago he was hatched from an egg his mother had.

His mother was Nail, a strong yet gentle spirited Namekian warrior, who came from the Planet Namek. Nail had always been proud for being a Namekian and he made sure that he and Piccolo's child knew the importance of the homeland. The young boy's mother had assured him that on the day of his 15th birthday their family would journey to Namek so the young boy could be tested. Nail and Piccolo already knew that the boy was a fighter but the boy was so much more than that. The boy had a very special gift, he could read the hearts of others and with that power he could sense the movement or location of a person just by following the lead of his own heart. A very special power indeed, there had never been a case of heart reading quite as special as Tenshen.

The boy was very proud of his gift and he loved to fight. It was in his blood, but along with fighting the boy very much enjoyed the quieter, more calmer things in life. He enjoyed playing with his uncle, Dende and he loved playing in the forest at the base of Korin Tower. While the boy was very quiet and reserved at times the boy loved being around people. He was great friends with Gohan, Piccolo's former student. He also loved to play with Benyah, the child of Tien Shinhan and the telepath, Chiaotzu. What a great girl. Over all the boy was the total package: a gifted and talented fighter, a very gentle and brave soul who possessed a heart of the purest gold.

"Dad" the young boy said tugging gently on the fabric of his father's purple gi.

The young boy's own gi consisted of white pants and a purple top, he wore no wrist bands but the belt he wore was a soft blue. He wore a weighted cape for training, but unlike his father's own weighted cape Tenshen's was a pale, powder blue cape, the head wrap that came with it had the light blue top.

"Hmm" was his father's response.

"I sense someone, its Gohan" Tenshen said gazing up at his father. Piccolo nodded and lifted the boy up of his lap only to set him gently on his own two feet. The boy smiled and said, "I'll go get mom"

Piccolo nodded and stretched before he placed a hand on the ring hidden underneath his gi top. He smiled as he felt a light tug on his pants. Tenshen stood by his side, Nail on the oppisite side. Piccolo smiled and reached out his hand, Nail gave Piccolo his hand without missing a beat.

((I love you))Piccolo said using his telecommunication with Nail.

([I love you too. Did Tenshen tell you that Gohan was coming?])

((In fact he did, we were meditating and he said he sensed Gohan)) Piccolo said.

Nail nodded and gently squeezed Piccolo's hand before he gently pulled away long enough to scoop Tenshen up into his arms. The young boy giggled as Nail tickled his stomach and kissed his cheek. Only minutes later did Gohan touched down on the Lookout.

"Hey guys!" the teenage saiyan greeted, "Were you waiting for me?" he said chuckling, already knowing the answer.

He would never the boy with his unique gift. When the boy started fighting only 2 years earlier Gohan noticed that the boy would be afraid to touch things. He gently tapped the boy on the shoulder and the second the boy moved his hand to touch his Gohan saw a vision. The vision depicted the boy, many years later, standing at the Lookout holding a dragonball in his hand. Gohan smiled as the boy told him what he saw in his heart.

"I see good, a lot of good, and love and so much trust" he had told Gohan, "You're heart is like my mommy's its warm and it takes care of us and you have some anger and its a new side, like daddy, strong but gentle" Gohan smiled.

"Hey kid!" he said calling to Tenshen.

"Hi" the boy responded floating over to where Gohan stood.

"Feet" Nail said standing by Piccolo again.

The young boy nodded and allowed his feet touch the ground before he continued to walk over to Gohan.

"How have you been Tenshen?" Gohan inquired, gently hugging the young, Namekian boy.

"Good, I've been learning the Masenko" Tenshen said, puffing his small chest out smiling.

"I remember learning that" Gohan said chuckling as he and the boy continued to converse.

"You know when he'll be tested he'll be asked to stay, by then its his choice" Nail said sighing.

Piccolo slid his arms around Nail's waist, pulling him close, "By that Tenshen will be mature enough to make the decision with a more than capable mind and if he does choose to stay then that is his choice"

Nail nodded "At least he'll be in good hands", Nail said expelling a sigh.

"Don't worry about it too much love, we have a long way to go until then" Piccolo said kissing Nail's cheek gently. Nail smiled and returned Piccolo's kiss with one of his own. His lips pressing against Piccolo's gently before he and Piccolo went to join their son, Gohan and Dende.
