Time: Early Morning before training, Gohan is out getting food Activity: Meditating Piccolo: Ahh ummmm... Must focus... Ahh ummmmm... Suddenly a panicked dinosaur runs by followed by a sword happy Gohan. Gohan: Weeeeee! Faster! Faster! Piccolo: Annoying kid... He can't sit still... How many times do I have to tell him, not to play with his food! Whoa... I'm starting to sound like a parent. Must focus... Ahh ummmm... Piccolo lapses back into his trance, only to be brought back by excessive giggling. Gohan: Heeheehee! Can't catch me!!! Come On!!! Gohan is being chased by a very tired sabertoothed tiger, and is quite enjoying himself. Piccolo: Poor helpless creatures, that kid just won't quit! It's time to stop this nonsense. The next time Gohan runs by Piccolo trips him. Gohan goes flying into a tree, not expecting the sudden attack. Gohan: Whoa! Ahhh! Gohan gets stuck in a nearby tree. Piccolo: That oughta slap him out of his miserable happiness. That kid is just too much. Gohan manages to get down and stands before Piccolo. Gohan: Wow! That was fun! Is it training time yet? (he says this with way too much enthusiasm for Piccolo to stand) Piccolo: Is there anything I can do to make this kid angry! What is wrong with him?! They beging to spar. Piccolo starts off slowly with punching combinations, letting Gohan practice his blocks and dodges. Without warning, he hits Gohan with a round kick to the side of the head, sending him flying into a rock. Gohan: H-hey! Mr. Piccolo-san! That wasn't very nice! Piccolo: DO YOU THINK THE SAIYANS ARE COMING FOR A PICNIC!?! DON'T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN! Gohan: (looking down) Yes sir. Piccolo: Get up, and we shall resume the training. Piccolo: This kid has no idea what we're up against. Hey, I wiped that smile off his face. Instant cure: hit kid. (Piccolo laughs to himself at those remarks.) The continue fighting, eventually up in the air. Piccolo does a low punch causing Gohan to block it. He then takes the advantage to bring both his fists down on Gohan's head, sending him into the ground. For awhile Gohan doesn't move, then he hears something... Gohan: Pic-co-lo-o! (he yells, then softens his voice) I think I'm stuck... Piccolo clenches his fists and lowers himself down, waiting for Gohan to get himself out of the hole. Gohan struggles for a bit, then pops up. Gohan: Hey look Piccolo, I'm a flower! Piccolo: I... Hate... Kids... Must... Not... Kill... Son of Gokou... Calm... Must focus... Piccolo: Stop with your childish games! Gohan: (softly) But... I am... a child... Piccolo: WHAT DID YOU SAY?! Gohan: I SAID THE HOT SAUCE IS MILD! Piccolo pauses over that one. Piccolo: Maybe I hit him a little too hard... He has a great hidden power, I must get that to show. They train for three more hours, and then Piccolo allows Gohan to eat some fruit. He meditates while he waits. Piccolo: It will be a miracle if I can stand this kid for three more months. He's always so happy! His father's dead, I kidnapped him, but he still won't stop that insane giggling! Piccolo's thoughts are interupted by Gohan once again. Gohan: doot do doot do doot do... Mmm hmm hmm... doot do doot do... Piccolo raises an eye. Piccolo: Still... I can't help but like the little half-saiyan... WHAT AM I SAYING?! GOKOU IS MY ENEMY! Calm down. Focus... Piccolo tells Gohan to go shadow box for the next few hours, giving him some time to himself to really meditate. This arrangement works out well, until Gohan gets a little bored. He tries to follow Piccolo's example. Piccolo: Ahh ummmm... Must focus... only by discipline can I find my inner strength. One must be at peace with his mind... Gohan (in a meditation position way overly exaggerating): Ahh Ummmmm... Ahhh Ummmm... Ahh... Ummmm.... Cheesburger... Ahh... Gohan never gets to finish the next one because Piccolo suddenly whips out one of his long arms and sends him flying. Piccolo: *sigh... You can't just give him something to do on his own, he needs constant attention. Damn kid. Until dark Piccolo and Gohan spar, Piccolo pushing Gohan to the edge, and Gohan finally getting serious. After building a fire, Gohan sits down to eat while Piccolo meditates again close by. Towards the end of the meal, Gohan speaks up. Gohan (soberly): Piccolo? Piccolo: Great, now what? He answers back What? with annoyance. Gohan (sadly): Do you really think I'll get to see my dad again? (his voice becomes a little shaky) Piccolo sighs and answers: No matter how impossible it is, your father will find a way. He is Son Gokou, and always gets around things. You will see him again. Gohan tentatively smiles: Goodnight Mr. Piccolo-san. (Gohan's eyes roll back into his head and he falls over, asleep) Piccolo: Finally, silence... *sigh As if he could hear Piccolo's thoughts, Gohan responds with a loud snort, rolls over, and continues to snore loudly. Piccolo shakes his head inwardly laughing. Piccolo: Okay... Perhaps not... And so ends an exciting day in Piccolo's mind!
