Hey guys! Well this story kinda popped into my head last night and I had to type it! Another one-shot between Piccolo and Gohan!

This story takes place around the time Goku was in space, and Gohan decided to hang with Piccolo for a few days.

Gohan and Piccolo were training for the day. This kept Gohan's spirit high. Seeing that his father was in space somewhere he wanted to be with Piccolo. The night finally came and Gohan was sleeping on the ground by the fire. Then it started to rain. It then turned into a thunderstorm. Gohan then got up and got scared. Then he went on Piccolo's lap.

Piccolo: You're suppose to be sleeping brat!

Gohan: *Looks up with sad eyes* But-but I'm scared Mister Piccolo! *Hears thunder* *Burries face in Piccolo's Gi*

Piccolo: Let's go into a cave. *Picks up Gohan and puts him down*

Gohan: Could you carry me?

Piccolo: Fine brat... *Holds Gohan*

Piccolo carries Gohan to a cave. Piccolo starts another fire, and Gohan sunggles close to it, but he can't sleep.

Gohan: Mister Piccolo i'm to scared to sleep. Can I sleep on your lap?

Piccolo: Sure kid.

Gohan: Yay! Thanks D- Mister Piccolo!

Gohan goes on Piccolo's lap and tries to fall asleep. The thunder was as loud as ever, but he knew Piccolo would keep him safe. He kept turning trying to find a comfortable spot to sleep. Then he leaned his head on Piccolo's chest, and then fell asleep. As soon as he was asleep Piccolo was ruffling Gohan's head, but lightly so he wouldn't wake him up. He also put his cape on top of him, so he wouldn't be cold.

Piccolo: *Says Softly* Kid don't be scared of a little thunderstorm i'm right here and won't let anything happen to you. I'll always protect you Gohan. No matter what.

The storm was easing up a little bit. There was still thunder and lightning across the sky, but Gohan wasn't scared and that's all that matters. Piccolo really wanted to make the rain stop and the sun to be shining. He wanted to do whatever was possible to make Gohan's pain go away.

The sun came out and it stopped raining. Piccolo wanted to wake Gohan, but this might've been the best sleep he's gotten. He'd just let him sleep to whenever he wanted to wake up. Thats like the best thing he could've done for the kid. A few hours passed by and Gohan woke up.

Gohan: *Yawns* That was the best sleep I had. What are we doing today Mister Piccolo?

Piccolo: Today is a break day. Relax or meditate I don't care what you do.

Gohan: Sweet! Can I meditate with you?

Piccolo: Sure.

Piccolo and Gohan go outside and meditate. Piccolo was amazed that Gohan was actually meditating. He was very pleased with the boy for doing that. They spent the entire day meditating, and then the boy had to go home.

Gohan: Bye Da-Mister Piccolo!

Piccolo: See ya Kid.

Gohan: I'll try to come back tomorrow!

Piccolo: Ok kid.

Well that's it. Sorry if it sucks :/ I had this in my head last night. Kinda based of off my fear of thunderstorms. Last night there was one and I was scared as hell. Yea yea R&R Guys. Just a short one shot, but some stories are better short.
