Author's Note:-
This is a very small chapter, I was originally going to put it at the start of the next major chapter, but I really wanted King Piccolo's leaving to be a chapter end, and I thought having a bit of focus on the goodbye scene worked well with the fic, so... Enjoy :) I'm still aiming to get the next major chapter up by Monday, but let me know what you think of this one, thanks!


King Piccolo's eyes steadily came into focus as he awoke, and he was greeted with the sight of Frikiza's bedroom ceiling. He yawned and stretched a little, noticing a weight across his chest. He looked down to see Frikiza's arm draped across him, and Frikiza herself was lying against King Piccolo, gazing up at him.
"Are you awake?" She asked.
"Mm." King Piccolo grunted. "Looks like it."
"You know… this is your last morning in hell." Frikiza said. "How do you feel?"
"Elated." King Piccolo replied, a wide grin sweeping across his face. "What are you waiting for!" He sat up in bed. "Send me back, already!"
"Don't you want breakfast first?" Frikiza sighed.
"No!" King Piccolo barked. "I can eat when I'm alive! Send me back!"
"You aren't scheduled to go back until the afternoon." Frikiza replied, smirking slightly. "Sorry."
"What!" King Piccolo cried. What the hell was she talking about? Why did he have a time slot? This wasn't an airline flight! "What am I supposed to do all morning!" He demanded.
"Well… it's our last morning together…" Frikiza mumbled, lowering her eyes. "I was thinking… we could spend it together."
"Hm." King Piccolo grunted. He looked her up and down, then smirked. Well… okay. He'd had worst mornings. "Fine." King Piccolo purred, lowering his fangs onto Frikiza's shoulder. "Get on your front."
"No, Piccolo… I'm exhausted." Frikiza groaned. "Can't we just… hang out?"
"Hang out?" King Piccolo growled. What was she talking about? No, they couldn't just 'hang out'! That was boring! What was wrong with her? First she was making him wait to return to Earth, and now she wasn't submitting to him! What was the point of Frikiza?
"Yeah." Frikiza smiled, her tail trailing up King Piccolo's spine. "We could watch a movie, or talk…" She noticed the displeased look on King Piccolo's face, and giggled. He really wasn't happy, was he? He only had to wait a few hours, he was so impatient! "Or…" Frikiza purred, trying to cheer King Piccolo up. She slid her tail back down his spine, and moved it round to the front of his body. "If you lie back down, I could give you a parting gift." "A… parting gift?" King Piccolo repeated, becoming more aware of her tail against his body.

Frikiza's eyes twinkled wickedly, and she nodded.
"Mm-hm." She smirked, and moved up to him. "Lie down, Master."
"… Yes, Dear." King Piccolo smirked, suddenly finding himself in a much better mood. He lay back down in the bed, and waited for Frikiza. Frikiza smiled and kissed him, then King Piccolo eagerly watched as she moved down under the covers. "Hmm." King Piccolo grinned, closing his eyes as he felt Frikiza's lips around him. He arched his back and let out a satisfied sigh. Oh, yeah… What a way to spend his last morning…

XXXXX

Sniff. Snivel. King Piccolo's mutant children watched with teary eyes as their master and Frikiza had their final embrace. It was now a few hours later, and King Piccolo was due to return to Earth at any moment. He'd spent the morning in Frikiza's house, lounging around watching TV, eating and drinking as much as he possibly could, engaging in physical activities with Frikiza and trying to ignore her talking. She'd become more unbearable as the morning had gone on, more clingy. She'd been holding his hand and hugging him all morning, and she'd started wittering crap about… King Piccolo didn't even know what. He'd tuned out. Something about missing him, and wishing him luck, and hoping he would use his wishes for good… It was crap. Still, King Piccolo had managed to get a few good backrubs and sex sessions out of her – in her clingy state Frikiza had been even more accommodating than usual.

Now they were outside King Piccolo's cave. Hugging. Or rather, Frikiza was hugging him. She had gone with King Piccolo to his cave so that he could bid a temporary farewell to the mutants, and just as King Piccolo had stepped outside his cave to be returned to life, Frikiza had thrown herself at him. Now they were standing outside his cave in a tight embrace, with a steadily growing audience.
"Frikiza…" King Piccolo growled, his cheeks turning violet. "Get off me. You're making a scene." He daren't look up at the ever-growing crowd outside his cave. This was embarrassing. This was more than embarrassing! Frikiza was making him look like a weakling! She had her arms and tail wrapped tightly around him, her head against his chest, her face buried into the fabric of his gi… and King Piccolo was pretty sure she was crying. How pathetic! She wasn't even his girlfriend! And she would be dead herself in a few days, so what did it matter if he left her now?

King Piccolo glared down at Frikiza, wishing now more than ever that he was the most powerful being in the universe. He wanted to be the most powerful being in the universe, just so that he'd have the strength to break out of Frikiza's grasp and destroy her – in front of all these people. Why were they even here anyway? Had they never seen anyone being returned to life before? This was nothing to do with them! King Piccolo didn't even know who most of these people were, but Frieza and his crew were amongst them. No doubt they were grinning like idiots. Bastards.

At a safe distance, Bardock was reluctantly standing with his arm around a saiyan woman, who was sobbing into his armour.
"Jeez Gine, will you pull yourself together!" Bardock snapped. "You don't even know them!"
"Well I… I have classes with Frikiza." His wife Gine wept, wiping her eyes. She frowned at Bardock. "How can you just stand there and watch this? It's heart-breaking!"
"What's heart-breaking about it?" Bardock frowned. "You know, I heard she's Frieza's sister."
"So!" Gine cried. "That doesn't mean she's anything like him!" She looked back over at King Piccolo and Frikiza, and continued sobbing. "Oh… this is worse than watching Kakarot and Chichi!"
"Gine, will you stop watching Kakarot! Everything he does depresses you!" Bardock yelled.
"Well… I know he means well, but I don't think he appreciates what an impact his absence has on his family…" Gine mumbled, and looked at Bardock sternly. "He gets that off you!" "Not this again…" Bardock groaned.

Not too far from them King Vegeta was stood with his wife Queen Turnipa, surrounded by elite saiyans and watching Frikiza and King Piccolo disapprovingly, with his arms folded.
"Tch. What's she even upset about?" King Vegeta snorted. "He won't even last a day, as soon as he gets up there Vegeta will send him back down here."
"I can't believe she actually likes him." Queen Turnipa remarked. "They're not even married."
"Well…" Nappa uttered, looking at her. "I don't think that matters to some aliens, Your Highness. I heard that alien girls can fall in love with people they aren't even dating."
"Tch. Pathetic." Queen Turnipa sniped. "I married a man and had two children with him, and we're still not in love. Are we, Dear?"
"God, no." King Vegeta replied. "We don't have time for that crap."
"That's how Vegeta managed to fall for that alien girl." Queen Turnipa growled, folding her arms. "He was raised by fucking icejins!" She glared at King Vegeta angrily, who glared back.
"Don't look at me like that! I didn't choose to give him away!" King Vegeta barked.
"Hmph." Queen Turnipa grunted, looking away. "Some role model you turned out to be."
"Oh yeah? And where were you!" King Vegeta argued.
"Oh, not this again…" Nappa groaned, covering his ears.

Away from the saiyan crowd Frieza was watching Frikiza and King Piccolo with Cell, Dodoria, Zarbon and the Cell Juniors.
"Wow… I didn't know Frikiza cared about him so much." Dodoria said.
"Pity she's going to die next week." Zarbon remarked, smirking slightly.
"Do you think she'd want to join us on our wedding night first…?" Cell questioned. Frieza looked at him sternly.
"I'm not doing it with Frikiza." He growled.
"Fine." Cell smirked. "You can watch."
"Watch what, Papa?" One of the Cell Juniors questioned, looking at him.
"Uh…" Cell mumbled, his cheeks darkening. Frieza smirked sinisterly.
"Go on, Cell. Answer the child." He said. "Watch what?"
"Shut up!" Cell hissed at Frieza angrily, and moved his eyes back to the Junior. "Uh…"
"Can we come to your wedding night too?" Another Cell Junior asked innocently.
"No!" Frieza, Cell and Dodoria all screamed. Zarbon giggled.

Back in front of King Piccolo's cave, King Piccolo had finally had enough of the spectators.
"Go away!" He screamed at them. "Nothing to see here – Boys!"
"Oh…" The mutants mumbled, and looked over at the crowd. "Shoo! Get lost! This is private!" They yelled.
"You gonna make us leave?" Nappa called back.
"We sure are!" Tambourine snapped. "We'll kill all of you!"
"Yeah? You and what power level?" King Vegeta laughed.
"…" The mutants turned to King Piccolo.
"He has a point, Sire." Piano said.
"Yeah – they're all stronger than us." Drum nodded.
"God dammit!" King Piccolo roared. "Frikiza – get the hell off me before I bite your tail off!"
"Okay… I'm sorry." Frikiza uttered quietly. She raised her face from his chest and stared up at him, smiling weakly. "I just… I can't believe it's time already."
"Yeah, it is." King Piccolo muttered, looking away. "So just send me back, will you?"
"Okay." Frikiza nodded. "… Have fun on Earth, Piccolo."
"Oh, I will." King Piccolo smirked. "Have fun - - … dying."
"Thanks." Frikiza growled.

She softened immediately, realising that King Piccolo hadn't meant any offence. He was different now, wasn't he? Slightly… Maybe he would wish for something nice after all. Maybe he would put his life to good use. "Piccolo…" Frikiza blinked back her tears, and took hold of his hands. "… I love you. Remember that."
"Awww." The crowd murmured. King Piccolo turned violet, and glared at his audience.
"Get lost!" He roared. "Don't you have homes to go to!"
"Some of us are moving into your cave." A member of the crowd replied, causing King Piccolo to tremble with rage. The nerve of them… bastards!
"Look!" He glared at Frikiza. "Your love is wasted on me! How many times do I need to tell you!"
"And how many times do I need to tell you that I don't care?" Frikiza replied. "Listen…" She wrapped her arms around him again, and pulled him into another embrace. "I just want you to know… if I do die next week, I'll die loving you. Please don't forget." She gazed up at him. "Don't forget me."
"I can't forget you." Shit! King Piccolo caught himself just in time, before the words could leave his mouth. Why was that his natural response? It wasn't even true! Of course he would forget her. He had the rest of his life to forget her, she wasn't that special. There was nothing memorable about Frikiza. In a few years, he doubted he would even remember her name, or the fact that she had existed at all. She was… nothing. Nothing except a pain in the chest – and the ass.

Frikiza settled herself back against King Piccolo, and squeezed him.
"Goodbye." She said weakly. She opened her eyes and leaned up to kiss him. King Piccolo closed his eyes, and he suddenly felt out of place. For some reason, this suddenly didn't feel real. He knew it was. It had better be real, returning to Earth was all he'd ever wanted! But… it was Frikiza. For some reason, it didn't feel real with Frikiza. It was as if he didn't want to believe it; he didn't want to believe that… this was the last time he would see her. This was the last time he would hold her, touch her, smell her… No! King Piccolo almost slapped himself. Why was he thinking like that? So what if it was the last time he would see her? Frikiza was just one woman, and in a few hours he would be the ruler of Earth and he'd have plenty of them! This one didn't matter.

King Piccolo opened his eyes to look down at Frikiza, placing his arms around her waist. She was gorgeous… He would miss that body. He was willing to admit that – and that was all he was willing to admit. But even that didn't matter. Frikiza's body was unbelievable, but there were millions like it. There was nothing about Frikiza that King Piccolo couldn't find elsewhere. Nothing.
"Goodbye, Frikiza." King Piccolo said. Frikiza nodded, and stepped back. She glanced over at the hell guard that was watching them, and King Piccolo suddenly started to feel funny. He felt… alive. "Yes…" King Piccolo thought to himself as his body started to feel warm and his vision turned white. "World domination, here I come!"
