DISCLAIMER: I do not own Sailor Moon or Dragon Ball Z. I think that this might be the first of this pairing in this section. Don't quote me on that. But honestly, a much more realistic one than Vegetta Serena pairings which in my opinion would and could never happen. Ever.

Goku sighed. The funeral had been nice, but tough. She was always there for him. And now she wouldn't be again for a very long time. Not until he died again. While the Black Star Dragon Balls had made him younger again, ChiChi had continued to age. She died at the age of 70.

He'd been on his own for about a year now. Not wanting to impose on his son's and their family's. And Bulma, not a chance. Not that she would deny him. But he could never survive living under the same roof with Vegetta. Not without blowing the place up. Something both ChiChi and Bulma disapproved of.

The seven Earth Dragon Balls were gathered at his feet. Where he now stood alone in a large desert. He had gathered them quietly. Not wanting to share his grief with the rest of the world. He needed a change.

But what? Before ChiChi died, she asked that he not bring her back to life. Content to die of old age. He still had family but he could not stay with them forever. They all had their own lives.

"Shenlong. . . Can you come out now?" He spoke softly to the Dragon Balls as they started to glow collectively. They flashed a bright light and he shielded his eyes as the light grew and shot up into the sky. Taking the form of a giant Dragon.

"TELL ME WHAT YOU DESIRE. . . I SHALL GRANT YOU TWO WISHES. CHOOSE WISELY. . ." Shenlong's voice boomed down on him.

He opened his mouth to speak, but paused in thought. What should he wish for? He really didn't think about it before hand. ChiChi asked not to be brought back. What else could he ask for?

Goku scratched the back of his head curiously. What did he want? He never wished for anything he wanted before. Needs always came first. Before he could say anything his stomach started to growl loud enough to out do Shenlong's growl.

"IT SHALL BE GRANTED." Shenlong spoke down at him. His eyes glowed, signifying the making of the wish.

"Huh?" Goku looked up in confusion. He didn't wish for anything! Did he? Before he could ponder further, he felt a feeling like his Instant Transmission technique and he vanished from sight. Leaving only the Dragon in the desert.

"HMM. I FORGOT TO GIVE HIM HIS SECOND WISH. NOW WHAT SHOULD I DO? I CANT GO BACK JUST YET." He curled his body up until one of his small claws were able to reach his head. He scratched his chin thoughtfully.

"YOU THERE. DESERT CREATURE. WHAT IS YOUR DESIRE?"

Goku found himself in a large city. He was still on Earth, as he could feel his friends ki. But he had never been here before. He tended to stay away from large cities. It was dark here as well. The streets were almost empty, lit by lampposts.

He looked about curiously. Curious as to why Shenlong would send him here. Almost everything was closed. Turning around, he found himself in front of a café. An open café. Grinning as his stomach began growling again. Well, he might as well since he was here.

A young woman with brown hair in a pony tail and striking green eyes stood behind the counter. She was only six or seven inches smaller than him. And he was somewhat surprised at her ki. It was high. For a normal person anyway. 200, maybe 300 if she powered up. She smiled at him.

"Welcome to Makoto Cafe!" Makoto smiled at the gut that just walked in. "You walked in just in time to be my last customer before I close." She walked out for behind the counter. The guy was cute. Looked about her age. With unmanageable black hair and an orange fighting gi. "I'm even feeling generous. All you can eat. I have enough leftovers to feed 20 people."

His stomach began to growl again and they both looked at it with a sweat drop. Although Goku's was a slightly more disappointed look. "Only 20 huh? Well, I suppose it will make a good snack."

"With a growl like that, I'm almost inclined to believe you." She giggled at him and motioned for him to take a seat at one of the table.

He grinned at her. She would see soon enough. But he was never one to pass up food. Sitting down at the table near the window, he admired the café. It was a nice place. A bit small but still a nice. You could see the care she put into this place.

Carrying a few platters of food out from the kitchen, she sat them down at the table before taking a seat herself. "Here. Try this for starters." She pulled out some silverware and helped herself to some of the food on the plate.

He was about to dig in himself, but stopped himself before he lost it. In such nice company, he could put a little effort to eat at a slower pace. So it took him about ten minutes to eat it all rather than five. "Wow! This food is great!" He said between mouthfuls. "I haven't eaten this good in forever! Its even better than Ch- . . . It's the best!"

Thankfully the guy was too busy eating to notice the blush on her face. Eating at a rather fast pace. "Wow. You weren't kidding. You could out do my friend Usagi." Disbelief was written all over her face. She shrugged and stood up. "I'll go get you some more." She smiled and blushed again when he looked at her with his own gratifying smile. She hurried into the kitchen.

Coming back out with two more platters of food, she found him looking just as hungry as he was earlier with the first two platters of food. Which was surprising. She sat them down and laughed lightly at his starving expression. At least she was getting rid of the leftovers.

"My name's Kino Makoto. You can call me Mako." She offered her hand to him and he shook it with the hand he wasn't currently eating with.

"Son Goku. People call me Goku." He shook her hand. Grinning at her. "My dead Grandpa always told me, if you ever meet a girl, treat her nice." He shoveled some more food into his mouth before looking up again. "Hey, you feeling okay? Your face is a little red."

"Uh. . . Um, fine. I'm fine." She shook her head. This guy was going to kill her with hissweetness and politeness if he kept this up. Maybe it was just too long since she'd had a date. "So, you're a fighter." She stated, trying to get his attention away from her blush.

Goku smiled at tugged sheepishly at his gi. "What gave it away?" He laughed. Now blushing at the praise she was giving him.

Mako smiled at him. Glad to be evening the odds a little. "Call it a hunch." She got up and headed back into the kitchen for a few more platters of food for her customer.

When she came back, Goku was caught between the desire to smile at her, and smile at all the best food he'd ever eaten. But in the end, he went for the food. "You know, you kind of remind me of my old boyfriend." She stared at him for a minute. "Except his hair was different, he was shorter, less built, his eyes were a different color and he wasn't as sweet as you. Other than that, you're just like him.

Goku blushed and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly as he laughed. She was going to kill him withall the kind wordsif she kept this up. "Thanks, I think. So, you're a fighter too."

Slightly surprised at that statement, she covered her surprise with a laugh. "What gave it away?" She mimicked him by rubbing the back of her neck.

"Call it hunch." He grinned at her before they both broke out in laughter. "Your strong too. I can tell. I can always tell who's a fighter." He finished the food on the table and patted his stomach. Content with his "Snack."

"If you're in the area, maybe we can have a spar sometime." Mako looked down at her hands. When she looked up, he was looking at her. A small yet more serious smile on his face. She felt herself getting lost in his endless black coal eyes.

He laughed nervously and patted his stomach. "With food like this, I don't think you could keep me away if you wanted." He grinned at her. "Its not like I really have anywhere else to go anyway." He said on a slightly sadder note.

Mako frowned slightly. If she hadn't been paying attention she wouldn't have picked up on it. But she had. And she understood. She remembered what it was like when she didn't have anyone to fall back on. Before she was a scout. When she had been afraid to.

An idea came to mind that she could help but beam at. "Then you can stay with me! I have plenty of room at my apartment." She hoped she didn't sound to eager at the idea. But he was already shaking his head.

"No thanks. I have money. I can get a place of my own. Thanks anyway." He disliked to see that disheartened expression on her face. But her expression changed again to a pleased one.

"Good. Because I need a roommate at my apartment to help pay for the rent. And I'm not taking no for an answer." He looked ready to protest again so she reached across the table and put a finger to his lips. "I told you I'm not taking no for an answer."

Mako leaned back in her seat. "Maybe we can even do this again sometime." She was looking at her hands again with a blush on her face.

"Do this again?" He repeated. A little confused as to what she wanted to do again. He doubted she could afford to feed him like this too many more times. Especially if he was really hungry. Although he did have the money.

"You know, us together, going out together some time. Like a date." She continued to stare at her hands. Risking a glance up, she saw the confusion on his face and got up quickly. Ready to make a break for the kitchen. Knowing she had just ruined it. "Forget I said that."

Before she could run, she felt a hand take her wrist and keep her from going anywhere. Looking up, Goku was looking down at her fondly. "That would be nice." He spoke softly. They seemed to stand there staring at one another for what seemed like an eternity.

He let go of her arms and stepped backward. A large grin on his face again. "You've got a deal." He turned around and made for the door.

Makoto looked at him with slight confusion. Deal about what? The Spar? The apartment? The date? He wasn't very specific. "Will I see you tomorrow?" She asked just as he was stepping out the door.

"I'll see you tomorrow. You can count on it." He left the café with a smile on his face. Both hands propped behind his head as he walked down the dark streets. Suddenly, Earth wasn't that lonely anymore.

So, what do you think? R&R and tell me. Please? I'm still debating weather or not I should continue with this or keep it as a one shot. Also, I'm contemplating work on a Goku Ami fic. Just to see if it can be done. Opinions please.
