"He's not a thing! He's my best friend. He ... he always took care of me ... taught me to fight ... always protected me and even died for me ... And you dare to just call him "thing" ?! ", Gohan yelled at his girlfriend. Videl swallowed and backed away. "Son - Gohan ... it ... I'm sorry ... I didn't mean to hurt your feelings ..." Only now did Gohan realize that he had become abusive. "No Videl, I have to apologize. I didn't mean to yell at you. I have to talk to Piccolo about it ... so can we postpone it?" He asked her. "But Gohan ...!" "Look at them: do you think they would listen to us now?"


They looked at their friends. Vegeta hit Goku again for some reason and ChiChi and Bulma argued which of them would have the better man.


"Veget is definitely the best!" "He only thinks about beating! Son - Goku, on the other hand, is a real family man and takes care of his children!"" Yes and nothing but food in the pear! ", Bulma countered.


Videl sighed. “Maybe you're right.” “Uh, not just maybe,” he said quickly. The girl looked at the others again.


"I really need to know what's going on with Piccolo," he thought resolutely.




"Oh, Son - Gohan, it's nice that you want to spend a few days with your family," says Chichi enthusiastically in the late evening. "Uh ... well ..." I formed a drop on Gohan's head. "Papa wanted to train with me and I have to think about a lot." "Of course you can think about it in peace here. And above all, learn. Videl must have kept you there often!" "Not really," he replied.


"Oh man. I shouldn't have told her that I want to study ..." he thought to himself.




"You slacked off a bit, son. Otherwise you are much better," Goku gasped between two blows. "Hm ...", Gohan just said. "What have you got? You're so lost in thought."" Do you know what's wrong with Piccolo? ", Gohan asked after a while. Goku dropped into the grass." Why should something be wrong with him? He's the same as always. Why do you ask? "" Oh, it's okay. I'm sure I'm just imagining the whole thing. "" If you feel this way, you should talk to him about it. "Son - Goku put a hand on Gohan's shoulder, who had also settled down in the meantime." Only he can give you the answer. " "Yes you are right. But I just wanted to spend a few days with you guys. Is it okay if I just run away? "" Of course that's fine. I'm just saying that we have something very important to do at Bulma. "" Why us? "" I've been having a lot of stress with your mother lately. If I have the opportunity to relax, then I'll use it, "he smiled.




When Gohan landed at God's palace, Dende met him. "Oh, hello Dende! Do you know where to find Piccolo?" "Yes ... but I don't think you should go to him ... he replied cautiously.“Why not?” Gohan was visibly confused. "Well ... he's ... he's very busy ... because ... because ... because it's busy," he exclaimed. "Huh? Something's wrong," thought the half-sayajin. Aloud he said: "Then I have to disturb him, willy-nilly." Gohan simply walked past Dende.


"Where is Piccolo's room now ...?" The young man opened the next best door and saw a large figure on a huge bed. "Piccolo!" He called happily, but then realized that something was wrong. When he heard his name, Piccolo had sat up and quickly wiped his face to deny his emotional outbursts. "Son - Gohan, what do you want here?" "What's going on?" He asked suddenly. "I don't know what you're talking about," he replied coolly. Gohan was with him quickly. "Pi ... Piccolo ... you ... you have ... you have cried ...!" He whispered in amazement. His mentor looked at him in shock. Gohan wiped a single tear from his face."I ... I've never seen you cry ... but ... once ... when you gave your life for me ... why ...?" He asked almost pleadingly.


"Gohan ... do you love Videl very much?" "What has Videl to do with it?" "Answer my question," he growled. Answer his question. Did he only answer ONE of HIS? "Well ... she's not my big love .. but ..." he pushed around. "Not ... your great love ...?" "I had always waited for a sign of my great love. Waited desperately. But never got one ..." Gohan sat down next to Piccolo. "Why didn't you give her a sign? Maybe she would have answered you then." Although Piccolo said this rather calmly, his own words stabbed his dear heart.


"My love would have pushed me away coldly and I couldn't have endured ... I was scared ... Afraid of a broken heart ..." Piccolo sighed. "You'd better go now, Gohan."
