I died... and I'm green now?!

Chapter 13: Changing for the better



Piccolo stood at the entrance to Jingle village after his third week there.

He was saying bye to everyone as they were already asking when he'll come back. Along with the orphans he helped Suno take care of. They were climbing onto his limbs trying to keep him there and Piccolo was simply sweat dropping as everyone else laughed at how it did nothing to impede his movement given his tough training.

He hugged Suno close much to the embarrassing oohs and awws from the crowd.

Suno asks, "I'll see you soon right?"

Piccolo grins and says, "Count on it."

He thinks for a moment. Not letting her go, and goes Fuck it. In his mind. He then kisses Suno on the forehead.

Making her blush and look at him shyly before puckering her lips and closing her eyes. Piccolo side eyes the crowd and they all grin. He smirks and waves his cloak over the both of them for privacy and kisses Suno back.

For a solid minute they stood there kissing. Suno breathing harder a bit as the time went on as they kissed again and again. Soon they broke apart and he says, "Mind going out with me?"

Suno smirks and goes, "I think that might be possible. If you are okay with a human woman."

Piccolo kisses her again and gives her a trademark Piccolo style grin, "I think I would like that actually."

She smiles back and happily squeals and hugs him good. Then let's go so he can leave for now. Piccolo says to her, "I'll be back in a month or so. I have a few people to check in with. And something's to set up."

Suno tilts her head but nods trusting her new boyfriend.

Piccolo gives her one last goodbye kiss and flies off.

Soon enough the young couples of the village were grinning like crazy at Suno and she began to back away as the young girls all squealed and began to grill her for details at her relationship and how it developed with the villages savior over the last few weeks.

She wouldn't leave the local cafe for about 4 hours after this began.

Piccolo flew and sensed out. He smirked as he began to put his plan into motion.

He gathered up Tien and Chiaotsu first. Explaining what he was thinking and telling them about how, if he was an alien. What is stopping other threats from coming from the stars. And they might be as strong or stronger than his father.

Tien nods ready to protect the world. Chiaotsu is nervous but ready to help as best he can.

They all flew off together to Kirllin gaining his support and finally Yamcha.

Roshi told them he would be doing his best on his own to keep his strength up but he would be leaving the world's defense knt he hands of the next generation of defenders.

With their teachers blessing they all head to Goku's house.

They come to the door and notice Goku there currently sparring with Chi chi in the back yard. Mostly thanks to the grunts of effort and the flares of their ki clashing.

Soon enough the group of fighters all gather and they wait for the couple to finish their sparring.

After another 5 minutes a sweaty Goku and Chi chi break off to wipe the sweat away and chat before enticing the watcher who politely clap at the good spare between the couple.

Chi chi blushes while Goku runs up to hug them all and ask why they are there.

Piccolo breaks it down about how future threats could come from the stars like himself and Kami.

With that news Goku then asked, "So why are you all here? Training?"

Piccolo smirked, "Let's just say we have a plan to get a good training regime for us while also providing good income for ourselves as well."

Chi chi is suddenly on Goku's back in a piggy back style hold going, "Tell me!" With Zeni signs in her eyes.

Piccolo chuckles and explains the farming strategy he has thanks to Kami teaching him the various knowledge he gained from watching mortals farm and grow their society over the centuries. With this knowledge and plenty of helpers. They will be able to make a great business to support themselves and be able to train hard for future threats.

Goku and Chi chi are all for it as they ask, "But where will we get the helpers?"

Piccolo smiles and goes, "I might have some people I met in the travels that are ready for a change of location. You'll be getting a couples dozen new neighbors but it will give you guys and your future children plenty of people to interact with and have fun with."

Chi chi gushes and is all in favor while Goku is ready to enact this plan if it means plenty of time to train together.

Piccolo and the other Z fighters first harvest wood, plant seeds, and make some rope using their strength to turn and bind the fibers. The nursing their durability, stamina, and strength begin to enact their plan.

Kirllin, Goku and Piccolo all begin to build houses using the know how of Roshi's training and the instinctive techniques of Kami from their racial memory. So in the end 30 houses look like they are from Earth while another 15 look like white dome houses with blue glass windows. But they are durable and great insulation from the elements.

The farms are put together by Chiaotsu, Tien, and Yamcha who all went through the training when they were taught by Roshi for a year or two. Soon all the fighters were working hard on farms. Dozens of acres are prepped and seeded.

This whole process took a total of a month.

Piccolo and the others all huff in pride at what they accomplished. And then said, "Now for the next part of the plan. I'm off to gather workers and my... Well."

They all grin at him as Krillin says, "Your new girlfriend?"

Piccolo shyly nods and heads off. He is glad he got closer to all of the fighters over the last month of work and construction.

They now see him as a friend and Goku sees him as a brother.

All their spars to gain strength and keep themselves sharp tend to help in that regard.

Piccolo flies off with a wolf whistle from Yamcha chasing him. Grumbling to himself, "Yamcha is going to feel a real wolves gang when we next spar together!!!"

He smiles to himself though as he feels like he has true friends.

And not only that but true friends that wouldn't betray him.

He felt the cage around his betrayal trauma shrink. But it was still there. He hugged to himself, "That trauma is going to need a deeper look I feel."

He made it to jingle Village early the next morning and changed his outfit to his snow outfit from last time. He lands outside of Sunos house and waited until he felt Suno's energy spikes to show her awake.

He knocked on the door and she approached.

He got into a casual stance as she opened it up and grew wide eyed at him as he looked at his non-existent wristwatch and said, "A month on the dot. Hope you enjoy your boyfriend delivery system. Please leave a 5 star review on our site for how well we did for your service needs!"

Suno laughed joyfully at that and hugged Piccolo giving him a kiss and bringing him inside.

They chatted and caught up while she prepared breakfast. Piccolo wasn't idle and helped by making a fruit bowl for everyone to share.

As they all wole up and greeted the alien. They sat down and got to chatting about what he has been up to the last month.

With the news about a new farming community village having been made for their people. Suno gasped in happiness while her parents grinned in joy. They would all love to come help work there. And the fact of so much open space being available was a nice bonus for the children.

Piccolo helped them begin packing as he then grabbed the chief and made the announcement to the whole village. All of Jingle village was ready to move and enjoy a warmer climate.

So they packed the village up and gathered what they needed and began to migrate.

Piccolo started by flying Suno over with her bags first. Then began to fly back and forth at high speeds while using his ki to shield his passengers. It took him dozens of trips. But he managed to move them all.

As he dropped the villagers off his friends began to help them move into each new house while introducing themselves to the villagers.

But by bit they all made a good place for each person.

And Suno was over the moon to meet Goku again and able to see how happy he was with his new wife too.

As women do they began to gossip about their partners.

Piccolo missed howuch Suno gushed about how much he has helped her and her village. While Goku missed how much Chi chi gushes about his strength and kindness to her and her father.

Both women got lost in it as more women came over and joyed the gushing about their men as the men began to divide up tasks on how to build this farming community to be the best they could hope for.

After bringing Eighter and the last of the bags of supplies over Goku caught up with the android while Piccolo brought Suno over to her families house.

She looks confused as he led her to the house next to a Namekian house. Asking about it he blushes and said, "That ones mine. I made it with you in mind to bring you over often or if you wanted to move in with me eventually."

She blushes back and smiles at the thoughtfulness. She then goes, "Well... I wouldn't mind moving in later after a few dates."

Piccolo smiled back only to feel a few high power levels behind him.

Looking back he sees all his friends grinning at him with knowing grins and slit eyes just telling him they know what will happen in that house.

He growls and begins to chase them down saying, "It's time for an early spar it seems!!!"

The village is echoing with laughter and the screams and yelps of pain as the Z fighters go at it with their new allies and neighbors enjoying the liveliness of their new village.

The future looked bright.
