A/N: Hi there! I have horribly much homework and projects to work on but I decided to take this weekend off before hitting the books again for the whole next week… This story has been in my mind for ages and I finally have the inspiration (and time) to write it away…this is kinda a prequel to Day Out. I hope you enjoy this little G/CC ficlet! This will probably have only two or three chapters or I will include everything in this chapter! Read on! This story is rated M because of the upcoming two chapters… This's more of a prelude anyways…! (evil laughter)
Disclaimer: No, I don't own DBZ… waah!
Night OutBy Kinoha
Goku yawned widely and stretched lazily gazing up at the blue sky as white plump clouds softly glided by led in the caress of the upper atmosphere's winds. The young man was lying on a grass field near his home; dozing off slightly, in a state between being awake and utterly asleep. But his mind wouldn't let him fall asleep: he had a lot to think about in general and of everything. It had been almost two months since his life had taken drastic and very unforeseen turn…
He had gotten married.
Goku still didn't have the whole picture of what meant to be married but he was very eager to learn! His two-month-long experience with the subject certainly had proved pleasant. He got food: huge portions of it three times a day plus some occasional snacks, he had a roof above his head that for once he really could call his own home and he could train around the forest without care of scaring ignorant city people with his powers and ChiChi was a decent sparring partner… And spoken of the fiery-tempered and steadfast Ox Princess ChiChi…
A woman he now called wife.
Goku blushed heavily but couldn't help the smirk that spread over his youthful and handsome face as he recalled when ChiChi, quite sternly and amused, had explained to him just why Husband and Wife slept in a same bed. Now that had been one of the funniest nights in his life and had ChiChi said they could do it again and almost everywhere when they were alone.
Who could have ever thought that being that close and intimate with a woman could be so fun, yet so soul-felt and comfortable? And he really really really liked what ChiChi called love making, but Goku guessed it was one of those 'girl words' as Yamcha dubbed them when Bulma talked about something that Goku didn't have a clue about. And he had come to like the little black-haired woman really really really much that it scared him to death sometimes. Angry; smiling; sweet; tough; sad; irritated; mischievous… During their sparring he had gotten his ass kicked by her, as he was so distracted by her.
Goku was at the same time thankful and resentful towards the person who ever made the women fighters' gis so tight.
He was also baffled by the whole concept of love. It was something that went over his head at the moment but he figured out he'd understand it within time. After all he and ChiChi were only seventeen… But he loved hanging around her and helping her with little chores or they would just spent time together; walking, sparring, talking, getting known to Mt. Paozu area and adventuring around.
" Goku!"
Goku jumped as his vision was suddenly filled with ChiChi's smiling face. She was leaning over him, peering down at his confused face. He had been so lost in his thought that he hadn't even sensed or heard her approach.
" Uh… Hi Chi!" he greeted, feeling sheepish about being caught so off guard by her, but he hadn't trained that much lately either… ChiChi seeing him little embarrassed that she had caught him unaware decided this was a place for little teasing.
" Now what is this? A great Tenkaichi Budoukai champion was caught off guard! By a weaker fighter than him who on top of all things is a woman?" she smirked at him, pointing down at him wit her index finger.
" Hey!" Goku exclaimed. " I was thinking and in that state anyone can be caught off guard… and what you being a woman has to do with anything, anyway?"
ChiChi smiled happily at his last comment. Goku might have been little clueless and uneducated on the world (she was in a good process of teaching him all the common knowledge he had missed during his lonesome childhood) and how things worked, but at least he didn't think woman fighters any less capable or powerful than men ones. Then again he had his male views on women like 'why women always take so long' and 'why women have to be so helpless on occasions' and 'can't they just make up their minds'…
The black-haired princess, after learning few things, his faults and strong points, about Goku, he was proving to be a very good husband and she couldn't be happier! At first he had seemed like a lazy bum to her and she had yelled at him for scaring him to half-death and causing inadvertently his sensitive ears to bleed which resulted her forgetting her anger and tending to him carefully. After that she had realized Goku didn't know what he could do to help her around and all she ever needed to do was to ask him… She blushed slightly mortified at this. He was always eager to learn more and make her happy and certainly didn't mind her yelling that much… ChiChi was sure that any other man would have been out of the door after living with her for a week and wouldn't and couldn't put up with her temper…
It was not that often that she yelled, but when she did Goku usually listened quietly making remarks here and there about the topic of her anger and their 'argument'. It had only happened once that, as she later on thought about it, he had snapped back at her only to make her angrier and walked away, with his rare face of annoyance.
Goku had also surprised her greatly with what he could do and what he knew: anything involving fighting or strategy he aced in and he had surprisingly quick wit when he was in certain moods (battle-mode and lover-mode as she had dubbed them in her mind) and he could make an excellent medic or a first aid personnel; that vast knowledge he had in different kind of wounds, their treatment and taking care of them. ChiChi was sure her eyes had been wide as saucers for at least a day when they had been hiking earlier in the week and she had scraped her knee badly and Goku immediately found some leaves of plants and quickly made some kind of patch of them that cleaned the wound and healed it faster than normally.
Another fact that kept fascinating her was his survival skills in the wilderness. Being raised by an eccentric martial artist hermit surely had made him a true wilderness man and a great appreciator of nature and all that was living… She shook herself out of her quick reverie and found Goku studying her, his head cocked little sideways.
" What are you looking at, Goku?" she giggled and he turned his gaze away, light hue of red staining his face and ChiChi guessed the young man's thought had been in a tad bit on the impure side and she couldn't help but feel flattered. It was just positive that your husband appreciates you also for your appearance…
" You?" he answered unsurely. Who knew how his new wife would react? He didn't know her yet that well so he could read her like an open book. She laughed again then took his hand and pulled him up with ease. Another thing Goku liked about her: her strength albeit not as great as his was really something to consider.
" Goku, do you have any idea what we could do tonight?"
The young fighter could immediately come up with few what he would like to do with her tonight, but he already knew of the way she said and phrased the question she had something she wanted to do.
" No… nothing out of unusual. Why? You have something in mind, doncha?"
ChiChi only smiled sweetly. " Yes, I do have... Goku, were both seventeen and even if we're married we're considered as children or better yet to say teenagers…" the little princess left the sentence hanging for a moment and Goku wondered whatta hell him being a teenager had to do with anything and he really hadn't thought of himself as a child in along long time anyway.
" So?"
" So! I wanna go out! Act like a people of our age do! Try to get inside an adult club without being thrown out by a bouncer! Drink beer when we're not allowed and have a good time around the city partying! You know… we could kinda go on a date since we never went to that many of them. In simple terms: I want us to have a night out like couples do!"
Goku went speechless and was confused beyond words. Clubs? Drinking beer? Partying? Hell, it sounded interesting. Why not?

After Goku had peeled happily squealing ChiChi off him and regained the air in his lungs, they had gone to their house and changed into what ChiChi called normal teenager partying clothes. Goku thought they were comfortable but unpractical for fighting and ChiChi chided him they were not meant for fighting. He was wearing normal faded jeans, sneakers, a red T-shirt that read 'FIGHTER' boldly striped across it and a loose black jacket. He had no idea where and when ChiChi had bought these for him, but he couldn't complain after seeing her 'teenager partying' outfit. The tank top she wore was purple, slightly in pinkish shade with glitter all over it and it exposed her belly button and lower stomach, hugging her body perfectly. Her trousers were tight black hip-huggers and in her feet she donned black leather boots. She had also put on some make up; her lips were moist with lip-gloss and her eyes looked brighter and more exotic as she had used the eyeliner. She had pulled her hair up into ponytail.
" Holy shit!" had escaped his mouth as she had emerged from the bathroom, smiling shyly at him.
Now they were on Kintoun on their way to East City and the sun was setting creating a stunning sunset glowing in all colours behind them. ChiChi sat on Goku's lap and kept lookout for potential clubs. She was all giddy and excited of the upcoming night she got to spend with Goku like teenagers did! Goku didn't mind that much: he got ChiChi in his lap and watching her giddy and happy made him feel really good.
" There! That looks like we could have a good time there!" ChiChi pointed down on one of the many clubs of East City Goku shrugged, not caring what the club or bar was and ordered Kintoun gently fly little lower as he and ChiChi then jumped off the yellow cloud and landed on a trashy side alley and the yellow cloud zoomed off tittering happily.
"Okay! Let's go Goku!" ChiChi took his hand and led him towards the entrance lit by pink neon lights and potted palm trees decorated the door's sides. Two huge men dressed in black with sun glasses stood in watch and threatened the crowd to stay in line or else… There was a huge queue in front of it made out of people dressed in fancy clothing; chatter filled the air as the crowd waited to be let in or get close enough to the bouncers to bribe them. The music boomed muffled about the building.
" Whoa ChiChi. There is lot of people… How are we gonna get past all that crowd and inside? Besides we are underage…!" Goku inquired in slight awe. This looked really interesting! Despite his morale was nagging at him a bit he was able to cast it aside and give it a go.
" We sneak in! It's not a big feat for us! We are martial artists and you can move faster than I and them can see together!" ChiChi explained matter-of-factly and dragged him towards the entrance past the line. Some people shouted at them but ChiChi's glare and shout 'Shove it!' kept them quiet and Goku grinned widely. Then someone little less intoxicated made an important recognition…
" Hey! That spiky-haired dude is Tenkaichi Budoukai champion Son something! And the gal's his wife who made to finals! They got married there too!"
" Hey man! You're right! Oh cool!"
" W-What!" the couple said incredulously and looked like a deer and doe caught in headlights of a car. How in the Hell this much people knew them?
'Whoa awesome! This is cool!' shouts came and voices murmured excitedly. Two pair of steely hand gripped them from shoulders and the pair looked up with wide eyes of confusion and slight fear of the situation and both considered quick right hooks. The bouncers stood behind them with stone faces and ChiChi and Goku were forced to crane their necks to look up at the men as they both stood around 6.6 tall and Goku was barely 5.5 (Saiyajins reached their full height at the age of twenty) and ChiChi stood only around 5.1 feet.
" This is an honor of meeting such talented warriors! Welcome to Club Delyx! Come inside!" The bouncers didn't loosen their grips on their shoulders, not that they hurt or anything, and dragged the startled couple inside. The crowd whistled outside and began demanding being let in.
" Have a nice night," the bouncers said as stone-faced as ever and left to their duty on the door.
" Yeah…" Goku and ChiChi murmured together and looked around in awe, as there was a small pause in the music. There was a huge space with tables and comfortable looking seats around them. Lights of different colour flashed and created very dark but wild atmosphere. The fibre optics were everywhere shining brightly and changing colour in random order. At the side of he room there was a bar where bartenders were mixing drinks and played with the bottles skilfully and entertaining the customers. The music came back and for a moment they couldn't hear anything else than loud booming voice and the partiers started dancing around the place. Their ears soon accustomed and the exchanged glances.
" Now that went smoother than I thought it would!" ChiChi grinned and Goku nodded.
" I didn't know we were famous though…" she continued and continued to look around.
" Me neither, but I am not gonna complain! Now let's hit that bar thing!" Goku retorted and grabbed her from the hand and they made their way to the bar section through the dancing crowd. Not that hard for people that compared to normal ones are like brick walls when they want to…
Two bar stools were vacant and the couple made a rush for it, as another two people were about to take them. With mighty leaps over the heads of raving people they landed on the stools to the other couples great shock and the other people occupating the stools and the bartender who dropped his precious liquor with a crash.
" Sorry! These seats are taken!" Goku smiled apologising at them as the man and woman stared almost in verge of heart attacks. They left quickly enough muttering something about one margarita and whisky too much. As more people kept staring he continued frowning, " What! Can't people have a drink here in peace?" the stares went away and many simultaneous requests for one more whisky filled the air.
ChiChi sighed content and pecked him on the cheek. " Now let's see what we can order! Hey bartender! What you've got?"
" Well… Lady and gentleman…" the man with big moustache took a look at them and rose one busy eyebrow suspiciously. To him they looked like a bunch of skinny teenagers (Goku's clothes hid his muscles pretty well)! " But are you old enough to handle the hard stuff, huh, kids?"
Goku and ChiChi both were about to open their mouths and furiously convince the man that they were 21 when the other bartender butted in the conversation.
" Oh C'mon Jack! That kid here is Tenkaichi Buboukai champion and you think an underage kid could win that competition? And how do you suppose they would have gotten in with out Bob and Bill checking their ID's? They just look young! Give'em the scotch already! We are loosing customers here by this rate!"
" Yes, we just look young! I mean we are married! How many teenagers are married these days? None! So we are adults!" ChiChi grinned at the men widely and hugged Goku's hand who also smiled nervously, glancing at ChiChi s she lied thru her teeth.
Jack humphed and give them a paper with the list of the drinks: Alexander, Alexanders Sister, Angels Dream, B&B, B52, Black Russian, Bloody Mary, Blue Lagoon, Cosmopolitan, Cuba Libre, Daquiri, Bananan Daquiri, 7th Heaven, Dry Martini, Gin Tonic, Grasshopper, Harvey Wallbanger, Hot Shot, Irish Coffee, KGB, Kir Royale, Mai Tai, Manhattan Sweet, Margarita, Old Fashioned, Pina Colada, Planters Punch, Robinson Crusoe, Screwdriver, Sherry Cobbler, Sidecar, Singapore Gin Sling, Tequila, Tequila Sunrise, Tom Collins, White Russian, Sex on the Beach, Between the sheets, Golden Screw, Honolulu, Kamikaze, Long Island Ice Tea, Mandy, Moscow Mule, Negroni, Pumpkin Drink, Shandy, Vodka Martini, White Lady, Von Manstein, etc. ( A/N: Sorry, I can't remember more…but let me think…uhm…) Beer( different brands), Campari, Brandy, Vodka, Calvados, Sherry, Whisky, White Wine, Red Wine, Tequila, Champagne, liqueurs of twenty sort, Galliano… Coca Cola, Sprite, Fanta, Pepsi and Water. The list also contained various Coffees.
Goku and ChiChi looked through the list, speechless, wordless and completely confounded. They recognized the lemonades, Beer, Whisky and Water but the rest…
" Uhm… ChiChi? Do you know what these drinks are?" Goku whispered to her and she burrowed her brow and gritted her teeth.
" Not the slightest of idea, but I think we should start about middle of the list…"
" Okay… hey Jack, was it, we are ready to order!" Goku called out, not really knowing where he was getting himself with ChiChi…

A/N: Heh… Review kudasai! I should put up the next chapter tomorrow or after that! And about Goku knowing herbs well he does! I don't know if it was cut off the English Version but in Japanese version he for example heals Gohan's wounds with a leaf and Gohan survives in the wilderness because he remembered what Goku had done with the leaf to heal the wounds… Just my little humorous peek in their early-married life and how I think things could have gone…! SEE YA! JA NE! The next chapter should be funny and it will contain drinking, drunks, cursing and maybe some sexual tension...! (evil smirk)
