It was a normal day for the married couple who lived in the forest of Mt. Paozu. It had only been a year since the 23rd annual world martial arts tournament. Son Goku, the man who was named the champion was currently meditating outside of his house. Chi-Chi his wife was cleaning up as usual. She was in the living room, dusting off some shelves. Right after that she was going to start doing laundry and so on. And then after all the chores that needed to be done. She knew she had to cook dinner for her and goku. Chi-Chi knew that she wasn't getting any rest until it was time for bed. It was an everyday routine for her, for the past year. The routine itself wasn't the problem for her, it was that she never had any help with it.

Chi-Chi knew that Goku wasn't the brightest one in the bunch. When it came to cleaning with her husband. Usually it would result into a bigger mess. Whenever he would help her with dishes, he would break at least half of them. She didn't know whether he did it solely on accident or just to get out of helping her. She sighed to herself, wishing that Goku could just put in a bit more effort into helping her. All he wanted to do was train. He gave more attention to his training than Chi-Chi. Now she knew that Goku was still learning about things, such as his feelings for her. She knew that he cared for her, but she didn't know if he cared as much as she did for him. At first she had the patience to wait for him. However, he was progressing slower than he hoped. Sometimes it even felt as if Goku didn't appreciate her. As if she was just a person who cooked and cleaned for him. The man himself had walked into the house and headed for the bathroom.

"Chi I'm gonna go shower than take a nap. You think dinner will be ready by the time I wake up?" Goku voiced with curiosity.

"I don't know, there's still much I had to finish before I even think of cooking for you Goku." She rolled her eyes as she replied. Clearly irritated with the question.

Goku looked at her. He could tell she was upset about something but he knew if he asked it would probably lead into an argument.

"Well no rush Chi, I'm starving but I can't wait until your ready. Just let me know if you need anything."

'Yeah I need help around the house you dummy.' Chi-Chi responded in her thoughts.

A few hours had passed by. The princess was making dinner as usual. Goku was holding his stomach as hunger struck him even more. He had been sitting at the table waiting for his wife to finish. He could tell that Chi-Chi was still a bit irritated so he decided to ask what's wrong.

"Chi is everything ok? You seem a bit upset."

She closed her eyes and sighed.

"Yes Goku I am"

"Why?"

"Because I'm tired of you always not helping me to go train. You barely spent any time with me in the past 2 months. I feel like you're taking me for granted." Her facial expression changed from anger to sadness.

Goku was somewhat confused. Chi had known that when it came to housework that he just made it worse somehow.

"But Chi you know that I always end up making a bigger mess when I do."

"I don't care Goku, you have to try harder to be better at it just like you do your training! All I ask for it a little help once in awhile."

"But training is more fun than cleaning."

"So training is more fun than spending time with your wife?!" Chi was even more angry now.

"No that's not-"

"You know what Goku I don't know know why I even bother." She had sat the food on the table.

"There enjoy the meal." The princess marched out of the kitchen into their bedroom.

Goku sat there and thought over on what just happened. It wasn't long before his growling stomach brought him out of his thoughts. He decided to think it over after he filled his stomach. Once he was done, he went into his bedroom. Noticing Chi was already in bed. It upset him that he couldn't make her feel any better.

'I wonder what I can do to make her feel better...well I guess I better think of something starting tomorrow.' He thought to himself.

Goku got ready for bed and laid down next to her. She had her back turned to him. He wanted to reach over to her but felt that wasn't a good idea. He sighed and closed his eyes to try to get some sleep.
