Authoress's tidbits:
X-Men Evolution/DBZ Crossover
This is Yaoi- so if that's not your cup of tea then move your tush elsewhere.
I added Beast because he's one of my favs, so don't be surprised to see a blue guy walking around the set. This is a side story for both worlds just know that Piccolo has already merged with Kami and Cell's dead. This is before Buu. Since X-Men Evolution has kinda just started this is a side story somewhere in the middle of the madness. Hope ya like it, and if not then don't be too harsh

/lalala /- means the characters are thinking.
(~ lalala ~)- means I wanted to add something of my own, deal with it! :P


"What are you talking about? Not another party! Gohan has to study and get his edge in the world! He can't do that by blowing up things like his father! I just want the best for my son, is that so hard for a mother to ask?!" ranted Chi-Chi, as she stormed around the house, she was furious, as usual.

"But Chi-Chi, it's not just any party, it's a Birthday party, it's Turtle's birthday (~Not the birthday when Kuririn broke up with Marron!~), remember? We can't just blow it off and not go. Please, Gohan can study till his brains turn to goo when we come back. Is that ok?" pleaded Goku, trying desperately to stay away from the enraged woman and hiding in a corner behind a chair.

It was Turtle's birthday again- he's getting to be really, REALLY old. Goku couldn't even count all the candles on the cake, of course he wasn't concerned with candles, he was staring at the cake, and drooling. Chi-Chi wanted Gohan to study, but figured he could socialize every once in a while, and let Goku take Gohan to the party. Chi-Chi didn't come because she was too busy thinking of new ways to cram information into poor Gohan's head. Tienshinhan and Chao-zu were busy playing cards with Yamcha and Pu'ar. Master Roshi was trying to talk Bulma into a game of Truth or Dare while she was trying to change Trunks. Oolong was playing Kuririn at a game of Dark Stalkers with Gohan watching.

"Which hand are we on now guys?" asked Yamcha, after he finished staring at the video game Kuririn and Oolong were playing.

"Pay attention Yamcha or we'll never beat them." said Pu'ar, getting as irritated as she possibly could with Yamcha.

"We're only on the third hand. You guys have none, and we have two. Haven't you ever played spades before?" asked Chao-zu.

"I still don't understand why we didn't play poker." mumbled Tienshinhan.

Choa-zu organized his cards while saying, " Because we don't have any money."

"Oh yeah."

"Um...yes...of course I've played before. What would make you think otherwise? I'm just trying to throw you off by pretending I don't know what I'm doing." Yamcha laughed while scratching the back of his head.

Pu'ar, Chao-zu, and Tien sweat dropped.

"For the fifteenth time Roshi, no I will not play Truth or Dare with you!" said Bulma, getting frustrated because she couldn't get Trunk's diaper off.

"Aww! Come on, Bulma! You know you want to play," said Master Roshi, "I know you've been eyeing me ever since you laid eyes on me." He tipped his sunglasses and winked at her. "Yup, that Vegeta just couldn't add up to ol' Master Roshi, now could he. Hehehehehehehehehe."

"That stupid Vegeta! All he had to say was," she musters up her best Vegeta imitation, "'Onna! Why do want to go to some stupid party with Kakkaroto and his son. I would much rather be training.' He makes me so mad sometimes." She took one look at Master Roshi, and got an evil thought. "Okay, fine I'll play," she announced.

"Really, WAHOO!" Master Roshi jumped and clicked his heels.

"On one condition..."

"Huh?" sunglasses falling to one side.

"You have to change Trunk's diaper for me," she said holding up one foul smelling half-saiyan baby boy.

"No Way! Are you crazy! That baby could have Bacterian* running from the smell."

"Then I guess I won't be playing. Too bad, have a nice day."

"(mumbling) stupid baby, why'd he have to go and crap his diaper anyway?"

"Yeah get 'em Kuririn! Ouch! That really hurt your score Oolong. Block. No punch! Stop. No! Kick 'em. Oh Come on! You can do better than that! I've never played and I could do better! Punch 'em. Hurry before he recovers!" Gohan was providing commentary for Kuririn's and Oolong's game. He wasn't helping one bit.

Simultaneously, Oolong and Kuririn turned around and yelled at the top of their lungs, "SHUT UP!!!!"

"Eep!" Gohan ran behind the couch, "Ok you guys you don't have to be mean like that. Sooo soooorrrrrrrrryyyyyy!" Gohan said sarcastically and walked over to his Dad, leaving two relieved, and definitely thankful men.(~well a pig shape shifter and a monk from Orin temple with no nose, but we'll say men for the story, ok? ^-^ ~)

Gohan strolled over to where Goku was devouring a piece of cake as large as his head. "Where's Turtle, Dad?"

Goku didn't even look up from eating and mumbled with bits of food falling from his mouth, "He went outside to watch the ocean or something."

"Oh, hey, I didn't see Mr. Piccolo around here. Can I go find him Dad?"

"Sure ::mmph:: just be sure to be back before we have to go. Ok Gohan?"

"Yeah, ok. Thanks. I'll see if I can persuade him to come and join the party. Bye!"

"Bye!" said Goku still chomping on that huge piece of cake.

/I wonder what Mr. Piccolo is doing anyway./ Gohan wondered aimlessly until he stumbled upon a huge ki reading, and automatically knew it was his friend's.

/You know I do view him as my friend, even another father. I must be the luckiest boy on Earth, because I have two fathers! There he is!/ Gohan spotted a white cape and flew towards it.

"Oi! Mr. Piccolo, what are doing?" Gohan asked as he walked up to the Namek.

"What does it look like I'm doing Gohan? I'm training." Piccolo nonchalantly walked over to a huge boulder and sat down, enjoying the break from his training, of course he'd never tell anyone that.

"For what?"

"For any other enemies that decide to attack Earth." said Piccolo, now getting annoyed, "Now what do you want? Make it quick."

Gohan eeped, "Well, everyone is at Turtle's Birthday Party, and I thought that you might want to come. I mean seeing as that your not a bad guy, and everyone has kind of warmed up to you, wouldn't it be neat to go to a party, and just let go? No training, no fighting, just a whole lot of partying!" Gohan smiled, and silently crossed his fingers.

Piccolo seemed to be thinking about it, and that was a definite good sign.

"Well, I don't see what trouble it would make if I went to this party for a little while." He said finally.

"YAHOO! Come on Mr. Piccolo. They've already cut the cake, and if we don't get there soon then Dad will have eaten it all." whooped Gohan as he grabbed Piccolo's hand and started dragging him to the Kami House.

"Let go Gohan. What sort of image will this give? I do have a reputation to protect, you know." said Piccolo, taking back his hand.

"Oh, ok. We can't have everyone knowing that you've turned soft, now can we?" smiled Gohan.

"Why you little...." Piccolo started to grab for Gohan when a huge bright light engulfed him, sending waves of pain throughout his entire being. He was not ready for the sudden wave, and screamed out.

Gohan just stood there, not knowing what to do. One minute he was going to get pounded for making a joke, and the next his sensei is howling in pain as a huge white light surrounds him. All he could do was react, and that meant to reach out and try to help Piccolo. As soon as he touched the light, pain traveled through his hands and to every part of his body. It hurt so much, and he couldn't help Piccolo by getting hurt himself, so he removed his hands and watched.

Piccolo somewhat regained control of his body through the pain and made his mouth move,

"Go...han...go...get...help...LEAVE NOW!"

Gohan quickly responded and ran to get his father. /Surely Dad can help Mr. Piccolo. He has to be able to help./

Piccolo, meanwhile, just couldn't hang on to his consciousness, and slipped into the welcome, and deadly realm of the dark.

What do ya think? The X-Men are in the next chapter, so stick around. And please be a good little reader and review!
