Hey first DBZ fic here so go easy on me. I've always loved the series but I've only recently really gotten back into it.

I've decided to make this a multitude of one shots dedicated to the relationship between Chi chi and Goku after he was shrunk down to a kid again in GT. Hey wipe that look off your face, I know he's just a kid and there will be none of that here. Its rated K+ for God's sake, get your mind out of the gutter, jeez!

Well without further adieu, I don't own any of the Dragon Ball series, so let's get on with it.

I ran to the bathroom with the most excited look on my face and I didn't care who knew it. I was never one to hide how I felt about anythingbefore and there's no reason to start now!

Only a few moments ago, my eldest son had just given me the most fantastic news! While out playing with some friend from her school, my little granddaughter had actually run into Goku!

Goodness I haven't seen him in much too long! About eight years ago he up and decided to move out so he could focus all his time training a new student he picked out. He said he would come to visit from time to time and he did at first but after a while his visits just became fewer and farther between and about a few years ago he stopped coming by all together, without any warning or anything.

It irks me to say the least how much he could do this to me. He's always preaching about how important family is but he's the one who's always running out on us. Whether it's because he's out on some crazy adventure trying to save the world or that's he's been dead for a year or two, there's always an excuse!

I should be madder at him, but every time he comes home I always go way too easy on him. I just yell at him until I'm hoarse or threaten to starve him, or refuse to let him in the house, but he never learns. In fact I seriously doubt this is going to be the last time he does this too. I'll bet it's something I'll have to deal with for as long as I live.

Some women would have walked out on a guy like that a long time ago, but there's just no helping a girl like me. I'm much too devoted for my own good. People will mock and look down at me for allowing myself to get pushed aside by his dreams and goals, especially in this day and age, but if there's one thing I've learned from this entire ordeal of being married to that man. It's this:

He doesn't have to love me as much as I love him to make me happy. He makes plenty enough room in his heart for me, he hasn't ever looked at any other woman and chose me with all my good and bad qualities and that's enough for me. I wish that all of those naysayers would one day find the love that I have found so that they can understand. I'm with my one true love and there's nobody else I'd rather be married to.

I remember after the second time he died and we all thought we'd never see him alive again I didn't even think about going out with another man until at least two and a half years later and even then I went out on maybe two or three coffee or lunch dates before I gave up on that. I just couldn't go through with it. I barely remember those dates and I certainly don't remember mush about the guy. He was nothing special. All I can recall is how guilty I felt and how wrong it all seemed. I just couldn't face my two boys like that; they look too much like their father. It was too awful thinking about Goku watching over me and thinking he was seeing this. I never told anybody about that, not even my family, although I think if Goku knew he wouldn't care too much. That's just the way he is. Why worry about something that happened years ago that didn't even mean anything. In fact unless it was an actual life or death situation he never fretted over anything. It was so cute of him.

And now here I am standing in front of the bathroom mirror trying to do my make up. According to my son, he'll be here very soon and I want to be looking my best for the first time he has seen me in a few years. He's not one to care about how I look. The man has seen me when I've been sick, when I've been fat with pregnancy, through the worst times and best times and He's never treated me any different, but I care.

From what I've seen, Sayians take longer to age than humans. The last time I laid eyes on him he looked to be in his mid-thirties, possibly forty, but that would seriously be pushing it, and he's the same age as me, 55. Although I suppose I've aged well myself. I've barely gained any weight at all over the years and you won't find a gray hair on me, but still it seems like every time I look in the mirror the first thing I notice is my crows feet and my old laugh lines on my face. Goku may not care but I feel self-conscious about it. People are going to look at us together and think I'm a cougar. How embarrassing.

But deep down, I won't care as long as I'm with him. So when He walks through that door, I'm gonna give him an earful of what I think of his latest adventure until he puts his hands up and gives me that usual look of surrender, like a puppy who's just been disciplined because he went on the rug. Then He'll carefully choose his words as to try and apologize to me and he'll say my name in that way he does.

I don't know what it is about that but when he says my name apart of me melts inside and my anger slowly begins to wane. I remember that he never does anything with the intent to make me feel bad, and he always does what I tell him to, like when I asked him to go get a drivers license, or get a job, or to come home safely after a tough battle… Okay sometimes it takes him a few years to actually fulfill some of these promises, but he eventually does and he has never raised his voice to me or done anything to hurt me… physically… On purpose.

Then I tell him I forgive him and go to start dinner. It's the same thing every time and I'm okay with that. It's just what an old woman like me needs, peaceful contentment. I'm in it for the long haul and despite all of his crazy antics, nothing is going to change my mind.

Suddenly I hear the door open and Pan's voice fill the house. He's home! I practically squeal with glee. I run from the bathroom to meet with him, in spite of my daughter- in laws, protests. Something about him not exactly being himself, but I don't care there's nothing that could bring me down from this emotional high. Tonight I am going to love him and welcome him home the way a good wife should and there's nothing that will stop me.

I burst to the living room where he is and I find myself stopped dead in my tracks. I can't really being seeing what I'm seeing. Standing there in the middle of the room is what looks like my husband the day I met him. Literally the day I met him, when we were both too young to reach the counter. It was a seven year old version of my man.

No this is a trick! This can't be right. I'm just standing there in the doorway unable to move or say anything out of shock with my mouth hanging wide open, but when he looks at me in the sheepish way and says my name in the way that usually makes me melt,

"Heh, heh, Hi Chi chi…"

I know it is all too real and suddenly I'm reminded of why I'm usually mad when he comes home from these strange excursions of his. Time for the yelling.

"OH ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"

Ha ha. I love a good Goku Chi chi story if done right.

Some say that they were never really in love because of the circumstances of their engagement, but that's not the way I view it.

They just give out an older couple vibe you know? When you're young and in love, there's passion and you just can't stop thinking about the other person and there's romance and you dread the thought of getting into a rut, but an older couple is different. They're not exactly 'in love' anymore but they still love each other. They're just at the point where they don't have to try to impress each other so much and they say what they want to each other, and even when times are tough they still can't picture leaving each other.

I know there are exceptions to this but the older you are the less likely you are to break up.

And I seriously think that that is what Chi chi and Goku have and I am using these one shots to explore that, especially during GT because Goku's age degression really did change the relationship if you ask me.
