lying there so lifeless. ° Is she even still alive ?! ° He tries to find her aura, but he couldn't feel anything. ° Thank Dende no one sees me now! ° He leaned forward and pressed his middle and index fingers to her neck. Knock, knock, knock. Piccolo pulled his hand away in disgust. ° Hmmmmm ..... still alive ...! ° (With a certain disappointment in his voice ..... uh ... in his mind! O_o!) Piccolo felt around him with his hands. The wall was a few inches behind him. He slid back and leaned against the cold stones. ° It can be a long night! ° He tried to relax. After a while he heard a groan and then someone straightened up. Videl's head hurt like hell and her back hurt. She tries to sit down. "Ouch ............... my skulls!" Videl opened her eyes but still everything was dark around her: "What is ....... oh no, where am I? !Am I ........?! " "No you are not!!!! "Videl was frightened and her heart seemed to beat for a moment." Who ... who is there ?! I ... I can't see anything! Hello?! " "Come on. It is dark. That's why you can't see anything! "" Yes, but who is there ?! "Piccolo felt himself getting more and more annoyed." If it is really that important: I'm Piccolo, OK ?! I have ... no, I should be looking for you. We're in a cave here. But the entrance is buried! "" Does that mean we'll never get out of here? !!! Will I never see Gohan again ?! That ... that is ... just ... terrible! " "Stop crying! " "But....! "" Shut up, damn it! "" ............... "Videl felt terrible. The uncertainty was unbearable. Besides, everything hurt and it was bitterly cold. She pulled her legs to her body and tilted her head on her knees. Tears ran down her cheeks and her thoughts went to Gohan. ° Will he look for me? Will I ever see him again.Oh Gohan! If I weren't so stubborn. If only I had listened to you ......! ° Videl rested her head on her hands. ° It can all only be a bad dream! I am not here at all. I lie at home in my warm crib and sleep. I'll wake up tomorrow and everything will be fine! °


"What? Piccolo is not here ?! But that can't be! He promised me to look for Videl!" Gohan was beside himself. Dende tried to reassure him: "He took off too, but he hasn't reappeared since! Unfortunately, I can't tell you where he is either. He should actually have been here long ago. Normally he always does his at this time Meditations and he would not skip them under any circumstances. Hopefully nothing has happened to him !!! "" Oh dear, Piccolo has also disappeared now. That can't be true !!! Dende, I thank you for your help. I will now keep looking, you can't be gone.I know they are fine! "Dende called after him worried:" And be careful! "


Videl opened his eyes. A beam of light fell through the rock face directly onto the ground in front of their feet. It wasn't enough to illuminate the entire cave, but she could make out at least some of the outlines. Piccolo was leaning against a wall not far from her. Videl felt weak and powerless. The ground was hard and cold. She was hungry and thirsty. And she didn't even know if she would ever get free again. But piccolo? What about Piccolo ?! Couldn't he escape? Why was he sitting here with her ?! "You Piccolo, I don't want to bother you, but ..... why don't you try to escape from here ?!" "............" "Hey ...... Are you still asleep ?! "" How am I supposed to sleep with this noise ?! "Videl was totally intimidated. Of course she had noticed his dislike for her and now he was stuck here because of her. "You can go. I can stay here alone too!"Piccolo was getting tired:" Yes, all right and Gohan will behead me! No thanks, I like my life! "But Videl also had her pride and now she also noticed how the anger slowly rose in her:" But I don't want to owe you my whole life for your great deed. Come on, get out of here. I can also manage on my own. Leave me alone! "Piccolo hit the floor with his fist ° Now enough °:" Now listen carefully to me, because I'll only say it once: "I care a lot about Gohan and I don't want him to be unhappy. Unfortunately, he is him very much about you. I'm definitely not doing this for you. I can't kill such spoiled brats like you to death. So, finally be calm and stop chatting a bike to my cheek! "(nice idea O_O) Videl swallowed. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore. ° Dad, Gohan, please come and help me! °


Gohan flew and flew, but he just couldn't find Videl or Piccolo.Where could they be? Even Piccolo's aura could not be felt. Slowly but surely a bad feeling rose in Gohan, but he tried to suppress it and flew on to look for his friends.


As the sun slowly set and the cave got darker and darker, Videl began to tear her t-shirt to bandage her wounds. She had a long gash on her forehead and her foot hurt. There was an incessant hammering and knocking in her head. Piccolo didn't move. He just sat cross-legged, arms crossed and eyes closed. ° How can it all go so badly (Sorry, I'm so spoiled! But proud of it! * Gg *) ?! ° Again Videl felt tears in her eyes. She was terribly sad. She felt alone and helpless. The uncertainty as to whether she would ever get out of here made her despair. But an inner voice told her not to give up and Videl managed to suppress the tears.

The next night it got very, very cold. Piccolo pulled his cloak tighter around him. Slowly his back started to hurt too and the cold crept up his neck. Suddenly he heard a faint even clatter. ° What the ......?! ° He raised his index finger and a small ball of energy formed and enveloped her in a faint light. Videl sat against the wall. She was curled up. She was all white in the face and then Piccolo realized where the rattling was coming from. It was her teeth. Piccolo realized that people tolerate cold a lot worse than Namekians. She must have been terribly cold. ° And she didn't say ...........! ° The energy ball went out. “Hold out your hand!” Videl startled. She had fallen into a kind of trance. She couldn't sleep because she was hungry and very cold, but she was still dog tired. "... W..w ... w .... what ?!" "You should stretch out your hand!" he said energetically: "A ..... a .... but ....?!Piccolo shouted. Videl held out her arm reluctantly. The cold shot through her body like scissors through paper. Then she felt Piccolo grab her arm, then he pulled it so hard that she fell over to him . Videl was horrified. She couldn't see anything. What was the Namek up to? He wasn't from this earth. He was probably hungry too and ...... ° He probably doesn't want to eat me? ° (Sorry for this stupid one Idea, but if I met Piccolo in the dark, I wouldn't be far from such suspicions) But instead of hurting her, he pulled her close so that she was sitting right next to him At the end he put his arm on her shoulder. Videl's eyes were wide open. She felt the warmth emanating from Piccolo's body. "One thing is clear: I'm only doing this because I don't want you to me now dying away from here. If I'm stuck here, it should also make sense !!"Videl was slowly getting warmer again. She put her head on his chest. She was touched by this gesture and all the anger that had built up in her before was gone." Piccolo, I know you don't like me, but say one thing i you I care very, very much about Gohan. I would never let him down. I hope one day I can prove to you that I'm worth being his girlfriend! "Silence." Are you still there ?! "" No, I'm going on a shopping spree! "(Ha, Piccolo at H&M at the rummaging table! A really great performance) Videl had to laugh:" Even if you are so mean to me. I like you. "She snuggled closer to him:" I can understand Gohan why he is your friend. And I would be happy if one day we became friends too! "Piccolo was completely perplexed. Why was this girl so nice to him despite his behavior? He had tried everything to get rid of her and has shown her often enough that he hates her. How can she be so stupid and like him then ?He was confused. Wasn't she what he'd always thought after all? Gohan was the first person who had not seen him as a green monster and he was the first who wanted to be his friend. Was Videl just like Gohan? And even though she was hurt, she hadn't said a word or complained. “Maybe I wasn't fair to you after all!” But Videl couldn't hear his words anymore. She fell asleep. (and drooled on his cloak * glubsch * Ihhhhhhhh !!!!) Piccolo had to smile. ° Well, maybe I really underestimated her. She seems to love Gohan and I will probably have to accept that. And if I’m honest, it’s actually quite scented! (I hate this word, but it serves its purpose! Don't feel like thinking of anything else! Forgive me for my laziness! * Gomen * hi hi!) "But ......!" Piccolo turns to the reader (Yes, he looks closely at you !!)): "Woe to you tell anyone what I just thought, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble, right ?!"Looked at Videl again." Hmmm, then shut up !! "Piccolo put his head against the wall and fell asleep.




When the first rays of sun fell into the cave, Piccolo woke up again. Videl was still asleep. She had slipped down during the night and put her head on his lap. With both hands she held his cloak tightly so that it wouldn't slip away. Looked idyllic, perhaps, but Piccolo knew that if they weren't rescued today, it would be their last day.


Piccolo suddenly startled. What was that? Did someone call him? "Hey wake up! Someone is calling!" Videl opened his eyes and yawned sleepily: "What is going on ?!" "Somebody is calling us!" "What? So I can't hear anything!" "Hmmm ...... A moment later: "There, again. This time I'm sure. Somebody called me!" Videl jumped up: "Really ?! Then we have to make ourselves noticeable! Haaaaaaaaaaaaallllloooooooooo! Hiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeer are wiiiiiiiiir!Sooooo-Goooooooooohaaaaaaaaaaan! Hiiiiihiiiiiiiiiiirr !! "Videl turned around:" Piccolo, come on, help me! "Piccolo crossed his arms and shook his head:" That won't work! "" But why not
