Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z. I do own a manga and a couple of keychains, though.
Author's Note: Hello and welcome to my DBZ Drabble dump! Lately I've been on a serious Dragon Ball Z kick (again) and I suddenly had the urge to write down a lot of GoChi drabbles here and there. I would love to turn one or two of them into a full-on fic, so I'm going to decide based on the feedback I get on the previews/drabbles I put down here (as well as what I can reasonably work on, considering the time I have with school and such, heh).
This first drabble is actually one of my favorites. I mean, who doesn't love DBZ meets the Wild Wild West? Hope you guys enjoy!
Drabble:: Western Journey
She couldn't help but stare with all the disbelief stored in her bones. "What was that?"
Goku only grinned wider at her tone. "I said you can be my deputy, Deputy."
Her mouth moved a bit before she could force out any sound. "But…but Goku, I'm a Chinaman! I mean, woman!" Another thought struck her. "And I'm a lady!"
The sheriff shrugged in that carefree way that she was only now starting to dislike. "Forget all that. I mean, I'm Native American! I'm sure the town can turn another blind eye."
Chi-Chi shook her head. This man's naivety was endearing, but right now it was dangerous. "Things don't work that way, Goku. I mean…" Her hands fidgeted. She took a breath. "It might be better if I'm your secretary instead."
There was no faking the look of dismay on Goku's face. "Well…if you insist I guess. But your skills ain't nothin' to sneeze at though…" His face lit up again. "How about you be my deputy and secretary? Can't deny that I kinda need both," he added, glancing at the piles of papers on his desk as if for the first time.
She bit her lip. Catching baddies and being deputy sure wasn't what she had in mind when she told her pa she was dead set on becoming a full-fledged lady. But she couldn't deny the eagerness of having a job that made full use of skills she wouldn't even mention using back East. At least to tide her over until she got there, she firmly reminded herself.
Chi-Chi raised herself up to her full height as she stared down the beaming sheriff. Which, if she was honest with herself, felt more like a chipmunk trying to outgrow a squirrel. "I'll get my pay on time every week."
"Sure," was the quick agreement.
"And enough to pay my rent."
The smile never left his face. " 'Course."
She faltered a bit. "I…I guess that's it then."
The sheriff's loud whoop rang throughout the station.
A/N: Feedback would be much appreciated!
