an effort with the cooking and I first decided to eat my stomach comfortably. Popo handed me the tray and said good night to me. But I couldn't eat. No. Something was noticeably pressing on my stomach. "Maybe I'll get the flu." I thought to myself, but at the same moment I realized that I was lying to myself. Lost in thought, I set the tray aside and went into the bathroom. It was a huge bathroom. The marble tiles shone and everything else was just fantastic.There was a shower and an extremely large bathtub. "Yes, exactly. I will treat myself to that now! That will quickly lead me to other thoughts!" Immediately I let in the water and decided to use one of the wonderfully smelling bath products that were right next to the tub. I slowly undressed and, with a soothing sigh, sat down in the already full tub. I relaxed and looked back over the past day. It was like being in a movie. I would never have dreamed of something like this! I decided to enjoy the time here and learn as much as possible about the environment I was in. Yes, I've always been curious, no question about it. But what would I expect this time? I closed my eyes ... and then he was back ... Piccolo. That name raised a thousand questions in me. I didn't really know what to think about him, let alone how to judge him.While Popo and Dende looked very familiar to me, Piccolo was completely alien to me. "Oh, what am I worrying about it unnecessarily? It's a waste of time!" I decided and opened my eyes again. I carefully got out of the bathtub, dried off, and walked over to my bed. "Oh crap! I don't have anything fresh to wear! Shit!" I cursed and went to the closet. "Great, I'm definitely not going around in such a fumble! Luckily it's all way too big for me anyway ..." I said and thought frantically where to get new clothes. "But I could have thought about it beforehand!" I rebuked myself and sat on my bed. The water was still dripping from my hair. "Hmm maybe Popo has already washed my old things!" It occurred to me and I decided to take a quick look. Covered with a towel, I opened the door very carefully and looked to the right and left. "Nobody to see ... that's good!"I closed the door quietly behind me and sneaked off. Popo must have my things somewhere! I kept looking around to see if nobody was around." I thought to myself and wanted to go around the corner Turn into the next corridor when ... "DAMN! CAN'T YOU BE CAREFUL ??? "" Pi ... Pi ... Piccolo ... um I'm sorry, sorry! "Totally perplexed, he looked at me. I had completely forgotten that I was only wearing a towel! I looked down at myself and then looked at Piccolo. For seconds no one said anything. Suddenly I noticed how he blushed and I was extremely uncomfortable . I broke away from his gaze, turned around and hurried back to my room. After slamming the door behind me, which caused an unmistakable bang, I slumped to the floor. "How embarrassing ... why did I have to Run into Piccolo right now? How am I supposed to face him again without sinking into shame?I really won't be spared anything ... "I thought desperately. But strangely enough, the next moment I caught myself grinning a little." Well, it was kind of sweet when it stood there and turned red like a tomato ... Hey what am I talking about ??? Am I totally nuts now? Crazy? I probably can't breathe up here! "I said softly. I put up with the fact that I had to be content with the old clothes first. I put my T-shirt back on and went to bed completely tired and exhausted . Unsurprisingly, my thoughts revolved around one thing. Piccolo. "What is he thinking of me now? Is he even thinking of me? Certainly not. He's always so cold and unwelcoming. How should he worry about someone? "I calmed down." He won't care! "With these thoughts I banished him from my head for the first time. I was much too excited about tomorrow. I would get to know them all!Goku, Vegeta ... and all the others! "This is going to be damn exciting ...!" were my last thoughts before I fell asleep. And I should be right ...




When I checked my watch it was just after two o'clock in the morning. Strangely, I was wide awake when I opened my eyes. I was terribly thirsty and my throat was dry as ice. Actually, I was much too lazy to get myself a glass of water, but my tremendous thirst made me put on something and make my way to the kitchen. When I got there, I took a glass out of the cupboard and poured myself some water. With just one pull I emptied the glass and filled it halfway again. After quenching my thirst, I went back to my room to rest a little. At least I planned to, because all of a sudden a huge bang broke through the walls of the palace. I stopped there and tried, with my heart beating up to my neck, to find out exactly where the noise had come from."What was that? Something terrible must have happened!" suddenly it shot through my head. "Piccolo !!!" I ran as fast as I could. "What if something happened to him?" I thought anxiously. In my panic, I didn't even notice how much I worried about the stubborn Namek. My feeling led me outside. It was noticeably darker here, so I stopped and looked around. I could hear my own heart beating. Suddenly I heard a groan. It was a painful moan. Immediately I ran in the direction from which it had come and what I then saw made my heart skip for a brief moment. A Namek was lying there on the floor, twisted in pain. "Oh no, Piccolo!" I called and ran towards him as fast as I could. He lay motionless, gasping desperately. "Piccolo! What happened? Please say something!" "It's ... it's okay ... let me ..." he gasped. I managed to turn him on his back and lightly support his head.He coughed and slowly opened his eyes. "What ... what are you doing?" he looked at me inquiringly. "It doesn't matter now! First of all I'll take care of your wounds as best I can! Why do you train so hard? You're strong enough already!" A smile flew across his face. With great effort I managed to help and support him. Using all my strength I tried to make walking as easy as possible for him, but it seemed very difficult for him. He looked really bad. His clothes were almost completely torn and his battered body was covered with abrasions. Most of them were bleeding profusely. Since I didn't know exactly where his room was and I didn't really want to bother him with asking about it, I took him straight to mine. The whole time he didn't say a word, but I didn't care. My main concern was his miserable condition. "Sit down first." I said, pointing to my bed."I ... um ... that's really not necessary! I can take care of myself very well!" "Yes, of course, and the result is right in front of me ... no, you will sit down there!" I countered. Piccolo gave in and I didn't even notice how my fear of him had almost blown away by this point. "I'm going to get bandages from the kitchen and you will wait here for me and don't move, okay?" He just nodded and I went back to the kitchen with quick steps and grabbed the bandages and that too Disinfectants. "You never know." I thought and ran back to my room in a hurry. When I returned and saw him sitting on the bed I finally realized that I was almost no longer afraid of him. The otherwise bold and strong Namek suddenly looked weak and vulnerable. Probably for this reason I didn't hesitate for a moment to ask him to take off his tracksuit, or rather what was left of it.At first he looked at me a little unsettled, but when I explained to him that it had to be so that I could take better care of his wounds, he no longer resisted it and did what I said. There was not the slightest trace of resistance on his part, which I had even expected. Of course I was pleased, because I was on the safe side and avoided unwanted arguments. I sat down next to him on the bed and first began to disinfect the scratches on his face. "That could hurt a little right now." I warned him, but the whole time he didn't make a sound. I told him to lie down so I could work through the rest of the wounds, one at a time. He did as he was told and so I began to bandage the largest cut in the middle of his chest. As much as I tried to distract myself, I couldn't fail to see that he had an extremely toned and muscular body.I even found myself enjoying being able to touch him there under the pretext of his wounds. Everything I did he let go, motionless and without saying a word. "One thing you have to explain to me now ..." I said. "Why do you train like a madman in the middle of the night? And how can anyone manage to inflict such gaping wounds on themselves?" Piccolo looked at me. He wasn't just looking at me, he was looking me straight in the eye. A shiver ran down my spine. "It's good. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to!" I tried to cover up my insecurity. "It's none of my business." "Listen ... I couldn't sleep." was suddenly his answer. "And how did you manage to disfigure yourself so much?" was my next question. "You can see that it works! Or maybe not !? I will now get up and go." "No, you will let that stay fine!" Piccolo of course did not listen to me and got up.That means he tried to get up, because he immediately fell back again. He was just too weak. "You can hardly stand on your feet!" I tried to make it clear to him and looked at him with a slight smile. "What is there to grin ?!" he snapped at me. But I didn't even react to it. "You know what? You can lie down here nicely. I'll spend the rest of the night in the next room. Then I won't bother you and you can relax from your injuries." "But ..." "No buts!" I interrupted him. "You will do what I tell you. At least this time." I noticed Piccolo that he was completely overwhelmed with the situation. As astute and quick-witted as he was, this time he couldn't say anything. I checked his bandages one last time and, to our surprise, even covered him. He lay there, completely perplexed, staring at me. "Good night!" I said and was about to leave the room."Wait!" I heard
