Summary: What if Planet Vegetasei was never destroyed, but Goku was still sent on the same mission to destroy Earth? He is found by Gohan and bumps his head, completely forgetting his Saiyan instincts to destroy, and instead learns to love and fight with a pure heart. He meets ChiChi one day. Even though he knows nothing of marriage, he makes a promise to her, but his past comes back to haunt him and threatens to tear them apart.
Pairings: Goku/ChiChi; maybe others later.

Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky
And we'll stir the stars around – "On the Wing" Owl City
"Hey, are you Chichi?"
She turned around, almond eyes landing on the boy who had called her name. The first thing she noticed was the black shock of spikes atop his head, then his obsidian eyes that held a sort of innocence and child-like simplicity. Open and alive and wondering. "Yes I am, but I don't think I know who you are. You're the second boy today that knows my name is ChiChi." She blinked then screamed and pointed. "You must love me too!"
"Well you seem like a pretty nice person to me," the boy replied rather nonchalantly. He didn't seem taken aback by her outburst at all; rather he seemed fairly calm compared to the earlier strange encounter she had experienced with the older boy proclaiming his love for her.
"Well, I'm not sure my my papa will let me have a boyfriend yet."
A grin spread across the wild-haired boy's face. "Well, don't worry about that. Your dad sent me here. I'm supposed to help you find Master Roshi so we can borrow the Bansho fan. "
ChiChi clasped her fingers together and smiled. "Really? That's so sweet of you."
The newcomer turned his cloud around and pointed at the floating yellow puff. "Well hop onto my flying Nimbus, 'cause we really should get going."
Her eyes widened and looked down. It had just now dawned on her that he was floating above the ground. ChiChi had been too immersed in his random appearance to notice that he was actually a good two feet above her. "You mean I can actually ride on this thing without falling?!"
The boy paused and tapped a finger against his pursed lips. "Well sure, but you do have to have a pure heart."
"Oh well that's okay. When your dad is the Ox King, you always behave well," ChiChi replied. She reached up to grab the cloud, finding it was indeed solid. She clambered, trying to find a good foothold to hoist herself up.
"Hey, need some help?"
Electricity shot up his back, hair stood on end, his body went rigid and he clamped his teeth together as pain blossomed from the base of his spine to the rest of his body. His muscles retracted and he found himself weak and wavering. A cry escaped his lips before he fell onto the ground with a thud.
"Hey, what happened to you?" The voice came from above. He sat up, rubbing his head.
"Well, you grabbed my tail. I lose all my power when someone does that. It's the only thing I can't stand."
"Sorry, I didn't know."
The boy hopped back on the cloud. The cloud, or as he had called it, the Flying Nimbus, jolted forward in response, like pushing down on the gas pedal of a car. A sudden thrill of fear shot through her and her stomach dropped. A shriek escaped her throat as she clung to whatever she could for dear life. "Here, try to stand up and relax. Take my hand."
Take my hand...
After an eventful day of riding across the desert, plains and ocean in search of the Turtle Hermit, Goku and ChiChi arrived back at Fire Mountain with said Turtle Hermit in tow. After watching the immense display of power by Roshi's Kamehameha Wave, the Ox King's castle now lay in ruins around them, but it didn't seem to faze the King and Princess too much.
Goku sat in the back of the car, knowing soon enough they would be on their way to find the final Dragonball for their collection. And then they would get to make a wish! Maybe Bulma would forget about her silly idea of a boyfriend and wish for lots of food that would never run out!
A flash of black caught the young warrior's attention and he looked to see ChiChi leaning against the car."Hey, what's up?" he asked, throwing her a lop-sided grin she was becoming increasingly fond of.
"Oh, nothing. I was just wondering if you were ever going to think about me again."
"Yeah, I think so."
A warm blush blossomed across her cheek bones at Goku's response. He was going to think about her! Even with the distance between them on his search for the Dragonballs, he was really going think about her! Goku probably would think about her, but in the same respect that he thought of Bulma or Oolong.
"Oh my, you're so funny," she said, turning shyly to hide the blush that blossomed on her fair skin.
"Do you think you're ever going to think about me, ChiChi?"
"Oh my gosh!" she exclaimed, hiding again. She sure did giggle and hide her face a lot, Goku thought, but decided it better not to comment on her strange behavior. As he seen with Bulma, girls-the discovery he had made with his foot earlier informed him she was indeed a girl—behaved rather strangely compared to boys.
With goodbyes said, the vehicle her father had so graciously gave them lifted up and flew off. A trail of dust was left in their wake and ChiChi watched until they were no more than a speck against the horizon, wishing, waiting, knowing that she was indeed encounter this boy once again. After all, as her father had always told her, love never dies, no matter the distance or obstacles that lay between them.
AN: Yes, I actually did take the words from the episode. I watched that part of the episode several times to get it right. I know Goku does something a bit inappropriate right after they take off and she shoves him off the cloud, but I really liked the part when he told her to take his hand. So, that's just prologue. Hope you enjoyed. Please read and review. Any comments and/or suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
