Ah. I almost forgot...

On New Namek...
Dende sighed, scribbling a picture into the mud with a stick. It wasn't quite right, which made Dende worry what he was missing...?
"Dende," spoke a voice rough with age. Dende looked up and flushed when he saw Moori standing before him.
"Ah, Grand Elder. I am sorry," he said. "I was just..." He looked at the drawing and sighed. "Thinking."
"Of her?" Moori chuckled. "To love a being beyond your own species... It is a remarkable thing."
"And embarrassing," Dende mumbled. He was still getting teased about it by Cargo, even to this day. "It is not like I can... Well... Do anything about it," he finished with a sigh.
Moori chuckled. "You know Dende. Once, long ago, Namekians had females."
Dende gasped and looked up at Moori. "I... We did?"
"Yes... And males," Moori said. "It was before the Great Drought. When our species died out, Guru created our species as it currently is today. Before the Drought, there were Namekians of an asexual persuasion, but they were few. Guru felt it would be more efficient doing it that way."
"Why... Why didn't you tell me?" Dende asked. Moori sighed.
"I didn't think you'd still be mooning over that girl," the Grand Elder said flatly. Dende looked down at the ground.
"Oh..."
"But," Moori said, "if you must follow your heart..." Here he smiled. "There is a solution."
Dende stared at him. He smacked his forehead, antenna twitching. "The Dragonballs!"
"Yes indeed," Moori said with a wry smile. "Though asking Porunga for a penis may be something you get teased for even more."
"I'll just live on Earth then," Dende said with a twitch of his antenna, and a wistful smile at the sky. "With the girl of my dreams..."
