I tried making this chapter a little longer, but I sort of failed. Not happy about that. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this new chapter! Things are getting weird from here on out.

The next morning was definitely odd for the Son family. Chi Chi had gone to wake up the boys, but when she woke up Piccolo, he stared at her like she was a complete stranger, and once he saw Goku, things went downhill.

"Ow! Piccolo, stop that! No biting!" Goku had been attempting to do his morning stretches, but the young namekian would not allow it. He constantly attempted to attack the saiyan warrior, biting and clawing at his arms and legs. It didn't exactly hurt, but it was beginning to really annoy Goku.

Piccolo glared at the saiyan as he sat in his corner, sulking. When he wasn't being a nuisance he was sitting there, arms hugging his legs against his chest and his chin hidden in his knees. Goten had attempted to play with the little grouch, but ended up with a hand covered in teeth marks, and didn't go anywhere near him for a few long hours.

Gohan had decided to stay close to his father, in case Piccolo decided to go bite him again. Whenever he did, he would grab Piccolo under the arms and set him back in his corner.

The whole family was certain that the entire day will be awkward.

They were kind of right.

…

"LUNCHTIME!" Chi Chi's voice rang out through the small house and front yard, where Goku, Gohan and Goten were sparring. Piccolo remained inside, glaring from the window.

When the three saiyans heard the word 'lunch', they bolted inside like a pack of hungry wolves.

"Wow Chi Chi, that smells great!" Goku smiled as he watched his wife bring a large plate of food over to the table. The raven haired woman smiled as she sat herself down.

Before the family began their meal, a soft yawn caught their attention and they turned to see none other than little Piccolo standing at the doorway that lead from the living room to the dining room/kitchen.

The chibi namek was rubbing one of his eyes with the back of his hand as he walked over to the table and sat himself down between Goten and Gohan. It took him a few moments to notice the strange stares he was receiving from the saiyan family, and he raised a brow, growing more and more uncomfortable by the second.

"What? Why is everyone staring at me?" Piccolo shrunk back, his eyes flicking anywhere but the Sons. Gohan was the first to speak.

"Y… you're you again?" it sounded just as stupid as Gohan looked. He looked pretty baffled.

Piccolo raised a brow "What are you talking about? Of course I'm me! Or at least half of me." he muttered the last part to himself.

"N-no, it's just that… well…" Gohan was stuttering, trying to find the right words "You weren't acting like you before."

Piccolo sighed, his small hands on his face "I don't know what you're talking about. As far as I know, I just woke up!"

Goku and Chichi glanced at each other, brows raised. Goten simply shrugged and began to dig into the food.

...

"That sounds weird. I'm going to have to look into that, yeah. Send him over when you have the chance, ok? Ok, bye." Bulma hung up the phone. She had just finished a talk with Gohan, who was worried about his chibified best friend and his odd behavior that morning. She sighed, a hand on her forehead as she strutted from the living room and towards her lab. Might as well get prepared for the little guy when he came over for a checkup.

Bulma cleared off one of her desks and sat down in her swivel chair, hand on her forehead and her eyes closed in deep thought.

"That's… very weird."

...

"Why are we going to Bulma's?" Piccolo all but growled as Gohan held him under his arm, blasting towards the Capsule Corp building. It took the half breed saiyan a moment to realize that the little namekian had even said anything due to the wind whistling past his ears and he glanced down.

"Bulma's? Oh, we're just getting you checked up!"

"What? Why?"

"Because you've been acting strange lately!" Gohan explained, slowing down as he began to descend, the large dome buildings seemingly growing larger with each passing second. Piccolo shot him a look.

"What are you talking about? I haven't been acting strange at all!" But the namekian's only response was an eye roll as Gohan all but dragged Piccolo inside.
