Wazzup? XD Yep, it's me again. Tired of me already? =O Too bad! =D 3picDragonBall is still here. O3O

"Now where are the Dragon Balls?" King Piccolo mumbled to himself. "The old man said that they were around here somewhere."

Chiaotzu clung on the side of the cave, watching King Piccolo's every move. He had to think of a wish, but what? What was there to wish for? Krillin! Chiaotzu had nearly forgotten about his bald aquatint. He was going to wish Krillin back to life. Even Roshi!

King Piccolo started sending ki blasts all over the ground, making dirt fly. Chiaotzu squeezed his eyes shut as the dust began to fill the cave.

I have to keep watching. I have to be ready, Chiaotzu told himself. This was their last chance at saving the world. If Master Roshi says King Piccolo would practically be invincible when he gained his youth, then this was their only chance.

"Eternal Dragon, come out and grant my wish!" King Piccolo called. The seven, gleaming Dragon Balls began to emit a light. The crisp blue sky faded into black, like it was a stormy day. And then, as if lightning struck the balls, electricity shot out of them and the Eternal Dragon formed, swirling and turning. It amazed Chiaotzu. He moved himself closer the cave wall, wishing his friend was beside him.

No! I have to be ready! Chiaotzu thought as he tip-toed to the cave's entrance.

"I hope Chiaotzu's ready," Kitsuma said with a flexed jaw.

"Don't worry. He won't let us down, I know it," Tien replied. A droplet of sweat trailed down the side of his face.

Kitsuma flip her hair, so it wouldn't get in her face. I hope he won't let us down, Kitsuma thought as she watched Chiaotzu slowly move towards the Dragon Balls.

"Why have you summoned me?" the dragon bellowed. His mouth slowly moved as if he weren't speaking those words at all.

"So the myth is true," King Piccolo smirked.

"State your wish so I may go back to my slumber."

"Fine, have it your way. I wish for-"

"Wait! I wish for Krillin and Master Ro-"

But he said it too slow. The demon had heard him. And shot a blast. From his fingertips. Right at poor Chiaotzu.

"CHIAOTZU!" Tien cried as he tried to reach out for his friend, but he knew it was too late. "No, he's just a kid. It should've been me!" Tien shouted as he slammed a fist into the ground.

"Tien, I want you to know that you are my best friend. Forever. And. Always. . ." Chiaotzu whispered in his dying breath. Blood and tears dotted the boy's white face as Chiaotzu fell backward from the force of the energy blast. Chiaotzu's dead body skidded across the grass, leaving a trail of blood. He has now joined Master Roshi and Krillin in the Otherworld, never to see his best friend again.

"I'm going to kill him," Tien murmured. His fists were bawled and his knuckles were white. He was more serious than ever now. Tien had just seen his best friend –his first friend –killed. Worst of all, Tien couldn't do anything about it!

"Calm down, Tien. We will avenge Chiaotzu, I promise you, but this is not the time to pity ourselves. We still have another option, but I'm afraid we'll have to practice. Together," Kitsuma said, placing her small hand on top of Tien's. Tien looked at the calm girl who lay beside him. Kitsuma mouthed, 'The Evil Containment Wave'.

"Oooh. . . Making love, now are we?" Nankaski mumbled with a smile. His eyes were half open and he had a lopsided smile –a really lopsided smile.

"Shut up, Nankaski!" Kitsuma growled as she kicked in him the face.

"Ow!"

"I said shut up!" Kitsuma prepared another kick, but Tien pulled on her hand to get her attention.

"He's gone."

"What do you mean, Tien?" Kitsuma asked. She looked around, searching for King Piccolo, but he was nowhere in sight. "Oh."

"Let's see if we can get up," Tien said as he pushed himself off the ground. Slowly and clumsily, Tien got to his feet. From there, he helped Nankaski and Sitsuki stand up as well. He knew better than to help Kitsuma and her individualized ways.

When they all were on their feet, Tien rushed to Chiaotzu, hoping that he may still be alive.

"Chiaotzu!" Tien shouted. His eyes were full of tears, but he didn't shed them. "Chiaotzu, please wake up! CHIAOTZU!"

Kitsuma watched as Tien cried over his best friend. Her arms were crossed and then she pulled out the weird gel she used on Krillin and began spreading it on Roshi.

Yuck, Kitsuma thought with her tongue sticking out. She opened one eye, so she could direct the gel, but kept one squeezed shut. When she was done, she turned around and saw Tien walking towards a small object. The rice cooker.

"Nankaski, Sitsuki, can you put this gel on Chiaotzu for me?" Kitsuma asked as she stretched out her arm with the pot of gel.

"Sure, that way you and Tien can kiss all day," Sitsuki said as he took the jar of gel.

Kitsuma ignored them. As much as she didn't like those two, she had better things to do than fight back.

"You think I could master the Evil Containment Wave?" Tien asked Kitsuma. Kitsuma doubted anyone else heard.

"Yeah, I think you can. You just have to practice," Kitsuma said with a hand on her hip.

"Then tell Bulma to pick up Sitsuki and Nankaski," Tien said.

"Why can't you?" Kitsuma countered, a little annoyed that she was doing all the work.

"Because I'll be going. Make sure you keep Nankaski and Sitsuki out of trouble. I'll do this alone," Tien said as he picked up the electric rice cooker. It was amazing that it was still in one piece.

That enraged Kitsuma. If anyone could master the Evil Containment Wave, it was her! Not Tien!

"Tien, I'm coming with you, whether you like it or not. You'll need my help," Kitsuma said sternly.

"Why do I need your help?"

"Because I can cook."

"Fine, just hurry up. We don't have much time."

'Bulma can you hear me? Can you pick up Sitsuki and Nankaski? And . . . . the bodies?' Kitsuma asked.

'What do you mean 'bodies'?!' Bulma cried.

'Oh, just come here and see for yourself. I'm going off to master the Evil Containment Wave. Don't follow us.' Kitsuma ordered.

'Wait, what to mean 'us'?' Bulma asked, but it was too late, Kitsuma was already flying sky-high with Tien.

I guess I have to go then, Bulma thought. She plucked a capsule out of her pocket and threw it out into the field. And airplane took its place. Heh, Kitsuma and Tien sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G

'I can hear you!' Kitsuma butt in telepathically.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!" Bulma shrieked. She realized it was Kitsuma's voice. "DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT OR I'LL LEAVE SITSUKI AND NANKASKI STRANDED! STRANDED, I TELL YOU!"

'Just hurry up,' Kitsuma told her.

"Just hurry up," Bulma mocked as she took off.
