"I want an ice cream....." Chichi said as she was walking through the forest. The other day she remembered someone telling her that the three eyed friend that hung around Goku lived in a cold place. She never liked that three eyed guy. He was a deliquent like yamcha..he always hung around his little frind too. The cold area they lived in must have been harsh. The cold is why she was thinking about ice cream. This was the first time in years that she was walking through the forest looking at the scenery. There were some ugly creatures in this forest that she would rather avoid. She even remembered when Gohan had brought a dragon home.

Ever since she had yelled at Gohan about him, she had not seen the dragon. She didn't even know what Gohan had called him or even cared. The forest was crawling with creatures. She even hopped up when she saw a snake crawling on the ground.

{Why did I move to the forest again?} As she was walking, she started to hear birds chirping. They seemed to be startled by something. In the bushes, a creature was moving around. Was someone following her? It was either a wild boar or a dinosaur. Either way, Chichi hated creatues of all kinds. SHe put herself in a stance.

"Alright you..you better come out or else..." She warned with an intense glare.

Then, suddenly, the purple dragon that Gohan always hung around hopped out of the bushes and onto Chichi. She had fell to the ground as the purple dragon with blue eyes was licking her face. For a moment, she thought she was being attacked. The dragon didn't care if she was screaming or not. It kept licking her face trying to win her over.

"AHHH HELP ME! GET IT OFF OF ME PLEEEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEE!" She was wiggling around as the dragon lapped her face.

[Echo/Mason]

Echo sipped water from his hands at a nearby lake. His ears had picked up what sounded like footsteps, but he paid it no mind. It wasn't heading for him, and this forest was traveled on a few times in the past. Echo had completely blocked it from his mind.

After finishing his drink, he shook is hands to let the remaining drops fly off his hand. He stayed crouched and looked down into the lake, seeing his tattooed face and pupil-less eyes stare back at him. His face contorted into that which showed anger, and he splashed the image to disrupt the image. It only reminded him of why he was on this Elder forsaken planet.

"AHHH HELP ME! GET IT OFF OF ME PLEEEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEE!"

Animal instincts kicking into gear, Echo quickly became alert and faced the direction that the shout came from. He took off in that direction quickly, opting to stay low to the ground and flanking around the area the cry came from. He would eventually stop and hug up against a tree in order to hear anything or to see if he was being tracked.

Can't be too cautious.

Once the namekian reached the source, he saw a woman pinned to the ground by a dragon. To be honest, Echo had never really seen that creature before and his curiosity took over. He slowly peeked from behind a nearby tree to get a better look. He didn't care if it made him easier to spot.

[princesschichi]

The dragon was relentless from licking her. She kept on flailing around try to get it off of her.

"STOP IT!" She yelled out, but it would not stop licking her. This was the worst day of her life..or so right now she felt that way. Her hands went up to the dragon, but it licked her hands too. Right now she was covered in slobber. What was worse is that she could feel a presence nearby. If someone saw her like this, it would be embarrassing.

As the dragon was licking her, she turned her head to see where the energy source was coming from. She could not see anything because all of the wilderness was green. The dragon stopped licking for a moment to see what she was looking at. Usually, the dragon would growl if their was an intruder lurking, but it didn't feel like they were in danger.

She took the moment the dragon stopped licking her to take a better look. Her eyes widened when she took a closer look...no it couldn't be. It..it was KING PICCOLO! The dragon once again started licking her, but right now she was afraid for her life. Ever since she had seen King Piccolo/Piccolo's green face/fangs, she was scared of him and his evil ways. He had so many times tried to kill her husband. Not just that, but he had kidnapped both her children. Even though he had tried, if he tried again, she would fight him to the death. She was not afraid to die in the defense of her family. Right now she was all alone with a dragon so her fears were more present.

The licking of her face was the least of her problems. She started to back up fearfully of King Piccolo. The dragon saw this and immediately stopped to see what she was looking at. It seemed like his plans to win her trust over was failing.

"Piccolo....stay away or else.." She warned at the green man peeping behind the tree. He looked exactly like Piccolo.

Her back was now against a tree. She was not yet standing as her fear had taken over her. THere were not many times she was all alone with Piccolo and for good reason.

[Echo/Mason]

Echo didn't notice the frightened woman at first. His attention was focused on the mythical creature that just covered the woman in saliva. Echo cautiously walked up to the creature, sniffing around the dragon as to get his scent. After he picked up and memorized it, Echo smiled and placed a hand on top of the creatures head. All animals are pure, but the dragon held a child like charm that Echo hadn't seen in other animals since his time on this planet.

It wasn't until after his curiosity was sated that Echo noticed Chi-Chi. His head turned to her after she called him 'Piccolo' and demanded him to stay back. Echo looked around him, seeing no one around for miles, and figured that she must have gotten him confused with someone else...which Echo thought hard to believe. Maybe Piccolo was the name of the dragon.

"Is this your pet?" Echo's raspy voice suddenly filled the silence. He didn't usually do this well with company. If he was found, he was usually attacked or ran away from. And although the woman was backed against a tree, he made no attempts to get closer to her. He just wanted to find out who was screaming, learn about this strange creature, then vanish before he was attacked.

Echo didn't pay much mind to Chi-Chi except for his question. He had already picked up that she was the voice he heard scream, and that the dragon was her alleged attacker. She hasn't attacked him yet, and actually seemed scared of the Namekian, which surprised Echo. He didn't really notice her fear until after he asked his first question.

"What are you scared for?" Echo turned back to the dragon and pet him with a small smile. "Piccolo is a gentle creature. He wouldn't harm a fly." He assumed at this point now that Piccolo was the name of the Dragon, not another Namekian that was already on the planet.

[princesschichi]

"Is this your pet?"

"What are you scared for?"

"Piccolo is a gentle creature. He wouldn't harm a fly."


While laying against the tree, she was watching as Piccolo/Green man was petting the purple dragon. The dragon seemed to be happy about his company. It made noises as the green man was able to comfort it. Was Piccolo joking or had he been hit so many times on the head that now he can’t remember anything? He was speaking as if the dragon was Piccolo itself. No longer being able to contain herself, she got onto her feet and brushed herself off.

“You’re kidding right? The dragon’s name is not Piccolo. You are the monster they call Piccolo. You are Piccolo so stop trying to deny it.” She kept her fists clenched prepared for any sudden attacks by the man she thought was Piccolo.

“Don’t say you are not him because you are the only person on this planet that is green, has antenna, and wears clothing like that.” Though the dragon was not her favorite, she grabbed its tail to pull it back away from the Namek. After all, she did not want her son’s pet getting hurt or something. It was not that she was worried for its safety, but she wanted to see her family happy.

The dragon pulled back a bit and looked at Chichi confused. It did not understand why she was concerned for it. The green man seemed nice. However, Chichi would have none of it.

"What are you doing here? What do you want?" Her look remained serious.

[Echo/Mason]

Echo's smile quickly disappeared upon being called Piccolo. Every time he went to correct the human, she would say something else and cut him off. His irritation gradually rose until she finished talking. "Well you're partially right; I have been called a monster before." Echo momentarily thought of the many hunters that would run off in fear after seeing the Namekians face. After his train of thought ended, he shrugged. "Never been called Piccolo before. Thats a new one." He said with a lifting tone, almost as if he was admiring Chi-Chi for the nickname. Of course, it was sarcasm.

Echo wondered about the mental health of this woman. First, she screams over nothing. Second, she believes that he is someone name 'Piccolo'. And lastly, she pulled the creature towards her. 'I'll never understand Earthlings.' He contemplated the idea of another Namekian being on the planet. Surely his elders would've told him of another one of his kind was on the same planet as him. Maybe they didn't know. It was completely possible that some Namekians left the planet long before him and arrived on Earth without anyone knowing.

Echo began to deduce that the longer he stayed here, the higher the chances of something happening that wouldn't be fun for anyone. He actually had a small village come after him as if he was Frankenstein. Of course it wasn't that difficult to escape, but these scenes were never fun for him.

"Look lady," there was a slight hint of annoyance in his words. "I heard someone scream, and I thought I should look into it." Echo looked Chi-Chi in the eye. Although his voice showed annoyance, his face was completely calm. She didn't annoy him, per se. He hated interaction with people. It always made him feel awkward. He would just leave, but she may seek him out later. And he rather save himself the trouble.

"This Piccolo, he sounds like a bad guy. Do you see these markings?" It was a rhetorical question; The tattoo that covers his body could be seen by a blind man. "These are a constant reminders for me. I'm not trying to be cool looking." His voice became very serious for that last sentence.

[princesschichi]

"Well you're partially right; I have been called a monster before."

"Never been called Piccolo before. Thats a new one."

"Look lady,"

"I heard someone scream, and I thought I should look into it

"This Piccolo, he sounds like a bad guy. Do you see these markings?"

"These are a constant reminders for me. I'm not trying to be cool looking."

He spoke about hearing her scream. A hint of embarrassment could be seen on her cheeks. The tough warrior she was trying to portray in herself could be ruined because of that. She was not particularly fond of creatures. When he told her about screaming, she simply replied.

“Yeah, so…” Her tone was sarcastic, yet tough sounding. The last thing she wanted was for this Piccolo look alike to think of her as a coward.

{Are there more Piccolos I don’t know about? This is just great.} Her hand let go of the dragon’s tale to glare at the green man who seemed intent on convincing her that he was not Piccolo. He had even showed her a tattoo. Unlike her family, she was unfamiliar with seeing different species of alien. There were animal people that she had seen before, but nothing like Piccolo or himself.

Despite his mean appearance, he seemed calm especially when he was petting the dragon. She remembered how he reacted when she called him monster. It’s exactly what Piccolo was..a monster. Since this man looked exactly like Piccolo, it was only reasonable that she’d think the same.

“Piccolo looks like you. I’m not sure what game you are trying to play, but the Piccolo you say you aren’t tried to kill those very close to me. He even tried to take over the world at one point. So it’s only natural that I would call you monster.” Her voice had soften until she said the word monster. She said it in a menacing tone just so this green man would know that there was another who was vicious who looked like him.

Chichi had kept herself from giving too much personal information to this green man. She did not like revealing her emotions to anyone other then her close ones. For this, she remained on the edge all while keeping a serious look on her face. She was not intimidated by this green man. Unfortunately, she was not the type to show compassion to strangers although the green man seemed kind. It was her way of protecting herself.

“I didn’t know there were more Piccolos roaming around. Is he your brother?" She paused for a moment before continuing.

"What is your purpose here in this wilderness besides trying to rescue a damsel who was not in distress? I can assure you I am capable of defending myself if need be." So many questions needed to be asked considering she knew nothing about Piccolo’s species. The last part of her sentence was so she could reassert herself just in case he thought she was soft because of the dragon scaring her. If this green man was alien, most aliens thought they could down and start terrorizing the planet or hurt humans. She’d like to see the green man try although a part of her felt he was kind.

[Echo/Mason]

(OOC: Sorry for length. I just got off work and am SOOOO tired!)

Upon hearing the description of the monster known as Piccolo, he immediately scoffed. "Well in that case, there's no way I could be Piccolo." He was beginning to get amused by this. "I look down on killing. Every life on this planet is precious." He doubt that she would believe him, but it was out there now. She had the knowledge; what she did with it was her decision.

"Technically he is." Echo thought for a moment. "If he looks like me, then he must be a Namekian. In one sense, we are all brothers. But we have no blood relation."

Echo then did a a small bow. "Allow me to apologize on his behalf. His actions is not an appropriate reflection of our race." He apologized suddenly to restore at least a little honor to his race. His people were peaceful, minus the very few bad apples that are spread far and thin.

Standing straight again, Echo simply looked at her when she asked her next question. "Im 'The Monster of the Forest'," He said with air quotations. "Where else would you find me?"

[princesschichi]

Ooc: (It's no problem. Rest well.

"Well in that case, there's no way I could be Piccolo."

"I look down on killing. Every life on this planet is precious."

"Technically he is."

"If he looks like me, then he must be a Namekian. In one sense, we are all brothers. But we have no blood relation."

"Allow me to apologize on his behalf. His actions is not an appropriate reflection of our race."

"Im 'The Monster of the Forest',"

"Where else would you find me?"

The namekian as he had called himself was explaining to her that he in fact was not Piccolo. She had no idea that Piccolo had a different species all to himself although her family members did explain to her some things on planet namek. She kept her guard up despite that she believed him. Unlike Piccolo, this namek seemed to have a good heart like her family did. He even bowed to her with an apology something Piccolo would never do. If she had doubted him before, he had just solved this identity crisis.

The namek even had a sense of humor. For the first time in their meeting, she happened to crack a smile. A monster of the forest huh? She had never heard that one. The dragon that was standing next to Chichi had looked up at her to see a smile on her face. The dragon cheered in happiness as it was the first smile he had happened to see on CHichi.

"Don't push it bud." She glared at the dragon for a moment, and then went back to the namek. The dragon frowned again although secretly it knew she was just trying to act tough.

"Well considering you are nice being a monster in the forest. I guess you aren't Piccolo although green isn't in around here I'm afraid. If you are not Piccolo, then who are you?" She asked wanting to know more about this monster of the forest.

[Echo/Mason]

"On this planet, green is never in." He crossed his arms and chuckled. It seemed to him that the earth woman was warming up to him. That was good- he could tell that her ki was pure and good, and he wouldn't want to get into a confrontation with someone he didn't need to. It also seemed to Echo that the confusion was settled. He was, finally, no longer Piccolo trying to pull a fast one over her but instead another Namekian that had found his way to earth for his own reasons.

When she asked his name, he hesitated. It was second nature to be cautious, even when it wasn't needed. After deciding that it wouldn't do any harm Echo finally relented. "In your tongue, you would call me Echo." He smiled. "In my tongue, it's," he spoke his name for her in Namekian although the language was almost unused. Even the people on his planet preferred the nicer sounding language that practically every species used. His name in Namekian was longer than it was in human language. That was because his name in Namekian was a title, 'Echo's of fallen'. Thanks to his father/past incarnation, he was deemed a demon and granted that name so all would know. He took the name Echo once he reached Earth.

He didn't get that awkward feeling that came whenever he was with company. Outside of the few people that sought him out, he never had much experience with conversing with earthlings. He didn't ponder on that for too long, though. He immediately pushed these thoughts in the back of his head.

"Now you know a little about me," Echo held his hand out to Chi-Chi, signaling that he was talking to her, even though there was no one around that he could be talking to, besides her. "and yet, you've told me nothing about you."

[/b] He hinted to her telling him who she was.

[princesschichi]

"On this planet, green is never in."
"In your tongue, you would call me Echo."
"In my tongue, it's,
"Now you know a little about me,"
"and yet, you've told me nothing about you.

This namek was different from Piccolo. He had a sense of humor. Most of the time that Piccolo was around he sounded grumpy. It also angered her that he was known as a killer, yet people accepted him as if he was okay. Regardless, she continued to listen to what the namek had to say. He had an interesting name especially in the native language. Before she could comment on his name, he told her what it sounded like in his language. She had no idea what he had just said. Her face looked puzzled as he said it, but she remained respectful as he spoke.

“Echo..as in when I shout loud and I can hear my voice over and over again? ” The purple dragon looked at her and made a laughter kind of sound. Despite her hatred for green men because of Piccolo, she remained respectful of Echo. He had not shown a side of him that she felt she needed to attack. Her hands fell to her sides as she had let her guard down allowing Echo to see that she was being friendly.

Echo mentioned that she had not told him anything about her. This was rude of her. She immediately bowed as she was taught by her father when meeting new strangers.

“My name is Chichi. I’m please to meet you.” After a moment of respect, she was ready to see him eye to eye again. She raised her head up so that her eyes were looking at him. He wanted to know more about her, but she rarely gave out her personal information to strangers she had just met. It was how she was.

“There is not much to know about me other than that I am the Ox King’s daughter. I am afraid I am quite boring just a human you know..but a strong one.” She made sure to add the detail that she was strong so that Echo knew she was not someone he would like to mess with.

“I was out taking a walk and that is when I came across you. My house is just a couple of minutes away from here. If you want, I can make you something to eat.” It was another rare thing for Chichi to do, which was invite guests to the house. She was unaware that the namek did not eat anything.

The dragon began to hop up and down hoping he could go along. Chichi threw him a glare.

"Oh no..not you..you troublemaker."

The dragon lowered its head in defeat. It felt sad.

[Echo/Mason]

"Uh...kinda."When she put his name like that, yeah it sounded silly. Even to the Namekian. As he went to elaborate more on his name, Echo stopped himself. That was personal information that he preferred to keep to himself. It would eventually lead to her finding about his redemption mission he's on, and he liked to keep that personal to him. Too many variables and he could slip off of his path. Instead, he opted to keep his silence for now. He listened to what the earth woman said.

“My name is Chichi. I’m please to meet you.”

Echo bowed shortly in respect, as if saying he was pleased to meet her too. He replayed her name in his head a few times. He listened to her tell him about her father being an Ox King. Sounded important. He wouldn't have guessed that he was in a presence of a princess. But such things didn't exist on his planet, and he never gone to school to learn of monarchies.

"What's a king?" Echo asked. "Are they similar to the Elders we have back on my planet?"

When Echo was offered to come back to her house for food, he pondered the thought. All he did was drink water. That's all he ever saw Namekians do. It peaked his curiosity. "I don't eat." He finally stated. "We Namekians require only water to survive." He stuck another fun fact in for her. He looked down to the dragon and felt bad for it. Chi-Chi didn't like the creature for some reason. Had it done something in the past? Maybe what he was seeing was just a facade. But all the same, he still felt for the little guy.

"What's his story?" Echo asked, still looking at the dragon at the woman's side. "I've been in these forests for 4 years, and I haven't seen anything like it." He says this because he hasn't seen a dragon before. Not even Porunga, the Eternal Dragon of Namek. He actually knew very little of the dragon balls, outside of what they looked like. That was kept very well hidden from him. The elders in his clan had found one and brought it back. Echo sneaked to see the mystical orb later that night.

[princesschichi]

"What's a king?"

"Are they similar to the Elders we have back on my planet?"

"I don't eat."

"What's his story?"

"I've been in these forests for 4 years, and I haven't seen anything like it."

What was a King Echo asked? She looked at him shocked that he had no idea what a King was. A puzzled expression came upon her face as she talked about elders. What exactly were elders? Well she could not answer his question completely, but she did the best she could.

"I guess you could say a King is someone with great importance. It would make me a princess, but I don't pay any attention to it. I've given up that life." She said it kindly although she did like being treated like a princess most of the time. Feeling like a princess, did not mean she would not get down and dirty when it came to fighting though.

Her offer about inviting him to her home was still in the air. Once again, this echo fellow was full of surprised. He didn't eat? There was only one thing she could say to that.

"Well it's just less for me to cook then. If you did try my food, you would probably become a eatitarian..or ..well nevermind." Her attempt at a joke completely failed. She was certain they called them omnivores, but Nameks didn't eat anything at all. If they did start to eat, what exactly would that make them?

The dragon nudged at her arm because he wanted to leave. She glanced at it again with a look of stubborness. She would not give into its demands. The namek noticed her hostility with the dragon. It was natural that he asked her about it.

"He is my son's pet. My son is always being a troublemaker. I thought I raised him better than this. I'm not sure where he found this m...dragon." She almost called it monster. However, the blue eyes of the dragon stopped her in her tracks.

Seeing that the Namek look confused by the appearance of the dragon, it became clear to her that he rarely saw dragons. There was one thing she did know about the Nameks on Planet Earth. They were the ones who made the dragonballs.

"Don't you know what a dragonball is? Your people make them. Some say they grant any wish." She paused a second then remembered there was the four star ball at home. This wasn't smart of her to do considering most people wanted the dragonballs for greed, but she sensed no evil coming from the Namek.

"I could show you one if you want, but it will cost you." This brought a mischievious look on her face. If he had accepted her proposal, he would forced to clean and wash everything in her household.

[Echo/Mason]

From how she described it, the kings of her planet greatly resembled the elders of his planet. They were men of great importance and influence in the villages of Namek. They were central, and upon death, their protege or a Namek that was hand picked, becomes the new Elder. He wouldn't have guessed that this woman had such importance. She carried herself with an air of normality, instead one of a high position. This just showed Echo how humble she was.

Echo listened to Chi-Chi's attempt at a joke, and chuckled to himself. Out of the humans he met on this planet, she was by far the must amusing. Heck, her son had a pet dragon! The creature obviously wasn't in her favor; she had almost called it a monster, but stopped. Either not to offend Echo, who referred to himself as a monster, or because of the innocent look the dragon gave her. Either way, Echo found the ordeal comical.

"I know my people makes them, but I wasn't really ever allowed to actually see one." He paused for a second, "It's a long story. I would prefer not to get into it." He said, moving a hand to the back of his head and looking down slightly. He hoped she didn't press the topic. He didn't really enjoy explaining his past and future goals.

When she asked him if he knew what a Dragon ball was, he was a little bit surprised that she knew what it was. Echo had only seen a glimpse of one, but haven't gotten close to one before. He couldn't really turn down an offer like that, not knowing what accepting the deal would cause.

"If it's no trouble," He said, not wanting to intrude and wanting to be respectful.

[princesschichi]

The Namek seemed amused by her attitude which was rare because most people were fearful of her. She knew how the dragonballs were made because her family had often told her the stories. When he agreed for her to show him the dragonballs, she nodded. The dragon next to her would head straight to the house without her disagreeing or agreeing.

"Come follow me. My house is just a distance from here." She guided him through the woods. This was another first for her. Rarely, did she ever bring strangers to the house, but she doubt any of them would mind. Both of them were silent as she was guiding him through the forest to her house. She decided to make conversation.

"How come you only drink water? It must be boring not being able to eat tasty foods." Her eyes glanced at him again inspecting his figure.

"Do all nameks look like you? It seems like all of you are men." TO her, the nameks looked more masculine than feminine. However, she could be wrong about their species. All animals were different. She was no expert in that field though.

The house would soon come into the clearing during her questoins.
