Just wish I was better prepared.

What for?

[daimao-junior.livejournal.com]

Battle, Goku.

[gentle-saiyan.livejournal.com]

Don't we have a while, though? I mean....Several years, right?

[daimao-junior.livejournal.com]

They'll arrive on March 12th in a little less than three years. It's ... I want more time, that's all.

[gentle-saiyan.livejournal.com]

We're going to be ready, Piccolo. I won't them take us. This is a better warning than we got with Vegeta and Nappa, isn't it?

[daimao-junior.livejournal.com]

*nod* And you're alive this time at least. It's just ... monsters so powerful that someone had to come back from the future so that they could change the course of history ... That's a pretty extreme solution to an extreme problem. It doesn't bode well.

[gentle-saiyan.livejournal.com]

And I'll still be alive three years from now! I've got the cure to that nasty heart-disease now!

Well, think about it, Piccolo. What would have happened if Raditz didn't let slip that Vegeta and Nappa were coming?

[daimao-junior.livejournal.com]

*small smirk* You better be Goku or you're gonna have one unpleasant afterlife when I come after you.

... I would've spent my year trying to take over the Earth? We'd have been in an even sorrier shape than we were.

[gentle-saiyan.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't put it past you at ALL.

...And probably would have done a decent job of it. Exactly. It's essentially the same thing. He and Bulma are giving us a chance to save ourselves.

[daimao-junior.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I guess. May I remind you that I died fighting Vegeta and Nappa.

[gentle-saiyan.livejournal.com]

For my son. Thank you so much for that, Piccolo. Thank you so much for giving my son a chance.

I believe you would have lived. Gohan...Gohan freezes up. He did the same thing on Namek. When he's afraid he just stops. I believe, if he hadn't frozen, you would have lived.

[daimao-junior.livejournal.com]

*shakes head* That's not necessary, Goku. I'd do it again if it came to that. Even if it did mean being stuck with King Kai for eternity.

Hm. Maybe fighting Nappa. I wouldn't stand a chance against Vegeta.

[gentle-saiyan.livejournal.com]

I know. Which is why I'm grateful. It's not every day you find someone willing to die for another person without a thought.

But you'd still have lived.

*"sneaks" up behind him and hugs him around the legs*

[daimao-junior.livejournal.com]

Think fast, kid. *reached around behind him and grabs Gohan by the scruff of his shirt, hauls him forward and holds him at arms length, smirking* What to do, what to do? You know I don't tolerate this sort of behavior.

[sonofasaiyan.livejournal.com]

Huh? Oh! *flails in his grip and sticks his tongue out* I thought the only rule was "Don't Cry".

[daimao-junior.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that too. *sets him down* But I'll let it go this time.

[sonofasaiyan.livejournal.com]

So "no hugging" and "don't cry". Anything else I should commit to memory?

[daimao-junior.livejournal.com]

"No whining." When I think of some more, I'll let you know, even if you should know them by now.

[sonofasaiyan.livejournal.com]

You keep changing them! It's not my fault!

*pause* Think fast. *pounces and TICKLES*

[daimao-junior.livejournal.com]

No, I - GOHAN! *wrestles with a him a moment before managing to dislodge him, automatically shifting into a stance* You're asking for it, kid.

[sonofasaiyan.livejournal.com]

*laughs and squirms, holding tight before he's pushed off and gets into stance himself*

Bring it!

[daimao-junior.livejournal.com]

*smirks and phases out, appearing behind him and aiming a kick at his head*

[sonofasaiyan.livejournal.com]

*closes his eyes, taking a breath when he disappears and just stays still before swinging his head down and under his mentor's foot and making to grab him by the ankle*

[daimao-junior.livejournal.com]

*growls as Gohan catches his ankle and throws a punch at him instead, simultaneously preparing a ki-blast in his other hand*
