Disclaimer: If I owned DBZ, I would've been happy and married and...you get the point.

Hey! I would like to dedicate this story to blackirishawk. I made a promise to write some one-shots for random acts of kindness to those who asked and I expect to live up to that.

So I hope you like this blackirishawk and, well, enjoy!

"But mom! I don't want to go over to dad's, I want to stay here in New York," complained a black-haired beauty. She held a phone to her ear as she clung onto her luggage bag when she felt another bump come from the rocky road she was riding on. Stupid taxi, she thought with a glare.

Why did her father have to live so far off from the city? From all the letters she got from him, she only gathered that he lives quite close to the beach. It neighbors him actually, and that stores were in walking distance from his home. She could tell that he definitely lived near the beach, for all she could see was sand and water, but she hasn't come by any stores.

"I'm sorry ChiChi, but you know that you have to see him. It's been like this for a while now, hon. I thought you would've been accustomed to it by now."

The young adult merely scowled. "But mom! It only worked when I wasn't a graduate of high school. I'm a grown woman now, so do I really need to still visit that man? And on my summer vacation, no less?" She frowned when she heard her mother click her tongue on the other end.

"Adult or not, you shouldn't disrespect your father, your own flesh and blood!" ChiChi heard her mother sigh on the other end. "ChiChi King, you used to always be excited whenever he was around, before-"

"That's enough, mother." The young high school graduate hissed. "It was never my decision for whatever you and dad wanted." She looked ahead to see if she reached her father's house yet. "Listen mom, I gotta go. I'll call you when I have the time." Hanging up, she felt the cab come to a stop and she unlocked her car door.

Getting her stuff out of the trunk, she paid the driver before watching the yellow and black car pull out of her father's driveway and off to the dirt road. A warm breeze brushed against the young woman as she let out a soft sigh. Looking behind her, she showed a crooked smile as she rotated her body fully so that she was facing her father's house.

So I'm going to be spending three months here, ChiChi thought as she looked the place up and down. She had to admit, she liked what she was seeing. Her father wasn't anywhere near rich, but he had a decent home. It wasn't too small or too big, but it was just enough to make her feel comfortable. Grabbing onto her rolling luggage bag, she slowly approached the house.

I wonder how dad is. ChiChi thought before climbing up the beach house's stairs. She only sees her father for short amounts of time. The last time she saw him was nearly a year ago, and she only stayed with him for a month. The longest she ever stayed with him was now actually. The previous record was one and a half months. By the time she got to the front door, her father was standing there with a goofy grin upon his face.

"ChiChi!" he called as he approached his only child. Grabbing onto both of her sides, he looked her up and down and pouted. "You've gotten so beautiful, almost exactly like your mother," he observed. He looked his daughter in the eye as he narrowed his eyes. "Your mother always got a lot of attention from the boys and I bet you are going to be no different."

ChiChi merely rolled her dark eyes at her father's words before embracing him in a loose hug. "It's nice to see you too, dad." she replied in a deadpan tone. She never knew her father well, so she never showed any interest in him.

Letting go of the big man, she grabbed her bag and walked past her dad and into the wooden home. Her eyes roamed the area before going to a room near the right of the doorway. She may have not been here for a year, but that didn't mean she doesn't know which room was hers.

"I'm going to unpack!" she yelled over her shoulder before shutting the door behind her. She heard her father sigh before replying with an 'alright'. Laying her suitcase on the floor, she sat down on her bedside and laid down on it. It felt soft and smelled faintly of...orchids? Or was it roses? She wasn't sure what it was, but it was pleasant. Stifling a yawn, the black-haired beauty stretched her arms above her head, hearing her joints crack.

Chapping her lips in satisfaction, she sat herself up and gently bounced off her bed and towards the glass double doors in front of her that lead to her small balcony. Grabbing onto the handle, she pushed down on it as a warm breath of the summer's wind embraced the bare skin of her legs and arms. Reaching the balcony's rail, she leaned against it as she took in the scene in front of her.

"Wow," ChiChi mumbled as she let her big, chocolate eyes wonder at the landscape in front of her. I should've brought my camera, she thought with a click of her tongue.

Back at home, she always brought along either one of her big cameras, or just one of those digital ones. To say she was a photographer was a bit of a long shot. She wasn't planning on putting any of her pictures on display or in a project; she just wanted to capture the moment. Capture the things she wouldn't want to forget.

She was brought out of her thoughts when she felt an oversized hand touch her shoulder. Craning her neck, she felt a tug on her lips when she only saw her father smile down at her. He looked back at the wonderful view in front of them and sighed.

"You could go," he said, referring to the beach in front of them. "You could even bring your board," He looked back down at her with a small smile, but it was covered by his bushy goatee. "It's been so long since you rode."

The big man's young daughter let out a soft squeal before looking up at him with amused eyes. Hugging her daddy, she shrieked, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

Laughing, the man hugged his pride and joy back and ruffled her hair. "Then go ahead and change!"

Nodding her head in excitement, the brunette quickly placed a chaste kiss on the cheek to her father and ran into her room and unzipped her suitcase. She quickly took out all the folded clothes and placed them on her bed. A grin that went ear from ear showed on her features as her eyes came to stop at what she was looking for.

Grabbing it, she ran to her bathroom to put it on. Grabbing a brush and hair tie on the way, she pulled her luscious mane that looked akin to milky chocolate into a ponytail, but left two strands of hair on either sides of her face. Once she finished fixing her hair, she kicked off her shoes and threw her tank top over her head.

Once completely dressed, the young woman smirked at the image before her. Damn I'm sexy! She thought deviously as she quickly raked over her own supple body. She was adorned in a golden-colored monokini. The straps wrapped around her neck as it showed a shoelace design just below the valley between her breasts. I thank you mom for allowing me to buy this!

Walking out of her bathroom, she went back to her travel bag and unzipped a small pocket hidden inside it. She reached inside it and fished out her matching brown sunglasses, her wallet, and a small bottle of spray sunscreen. Quickly spraying a sun protecting second skin, she tossed the can back into her case and grabbed her bag that was resting on her bed. She grabbed her towel and stuffed it in there, along with her wallet and glasses. She strutted out of the room and out the front door.

"I'm going to get the board then I'm going dad!" she yelled over her shoulder before running down the stairs of the beach house. She heard an 'ok' before she opened the door to the shed underneath the house.

She let out a surprised gasp to see that her board had not only been cleaned, but was given a new design. Instead of her old, plain wood look, her dad has painted the entire back white and added a water dragon at the left bottom side of the board along with a tropical-looking peace sign on the top right.

"Thank you, daddy!" she yelled as she grabbed the surfboard. I swear he must have planned this. She thought with a shake of her head as she ran out the door, her board tucked underneath her arm.

The sandy beach wasn't far, and it was something that she was used to already, but the moment she felt sand underneath her feet, she felt the urge to kick it up high in the air and see the dust clouds it leaves. She wasn't surprised to see so many teenagers fill the capacity of the coastline, but she couldn't help but show the disbelief on her eyes.

Quickly finding an open spot, she laid her stuff down by a volleyball net, took her towel out of her bag and spread it out on the sandy floor. I should've brought an umbrella, she thought with a frown as she looked up at the bright sun. Getting her sunglasses from her bag, she decided to lay down for a while before jumping into the water.

Stabbing her board into the sand to the left of her towel, she used it as a shield from the sun as she laid down, her arms tucked comfortably behind her head as she closed her eyes. She heard a few cat calls and whistles being directed to her and mentally smirked. Dad's right, I am going to attract a lot of-

"Hey! Watch out!"

Almost imperceptibly opening her eyes at first, she quickly widened them in shock when she felt something fall on top of her. Closing her eyes in response, she let out a small yelp. The moment they both felt impact, both young adults let out a groan.

What the fuck? ChiChi thought as she opened her eyes only to widen in fraction.

It wasn't something that fell on her, more like someone. A hot someone was her afterthought. The person on top of her propped himself up on his arms and shook his head. Finally opening his eyes, he widened them in shock.

"O-Oh, I'm sorry ma'am," he rambled as he looked anywhere but the staring beauty he was currently straddling.

ChiChi paid no attention towards the handsome stranger's words as she looked over his features. She was wrong when she thought he was hot, he was downright sexy! Although not standing, the man was quite tall. Though, it could be the spiked up hair that seemed to defy all of Newton's laws. His body was basically all muscle, something that she found incredibly attractive. Although, she would've expected someone rude and arrogant to have such a fit body, she was rather surprised to see the kindness in this man's eyes, and no hardened features.

She was brought out of her trance when the stranger smiled brightly at her.

"Hey," he started. "You're really pretty." Getting off of her, and offering a hand to her, he said, "My name's Goku," He tilted his head innocently. "I don't believe I ever seen you here before, you must be new."

Taking his offered hand, ChiChi pulled herself up and dusted herself off. Putting her sunglasses at the top of her head, she smiled up at the friendly giant.He's nice. "Yeah, I'm here for the summer. I'm staying here with my dad."

The young man named Goku nodded his head. "So you're here just for a vacation?" ChiChi nodded. Putting his hands behind his head, the tall man smiled down at her in a goofy manner. "Well I hope you have the best vacation here!"

ChiChi laughed. "You and me both," Leaning against her board, she saw a twinkle of curiosity and surprise shine in the charcoal eyes in front of her. "You surf?" He asked as he pointed towards her board.

Nodding, ChiChi grabbed hold of her surfboard and pulled it out of the sand. Tucking it under her arm, she asked, "Do you?" She smiled when she saw him nod. Grabbing hold of his hand, she said, "Then show me what you got!"

She felt her stomach churn when she heard his bubbly laughter. For some reason, this guy made her feel so...queasy. She wondered why she felt like this if she only met this guy for no more than ten minutes. It was as if she knew this guy for all of her life in comparison to the seven minutes she spent chatting to him.

She laughed at the expression on the friendly giant's face when he felt the ice-cold water hit his bare legs. She pulled on him harder when he started pulling away from the water. She gasped when she felt him splash the seawater at her.

"You jerk!" she shrieked as she threw her board to the shore and started splashing the big man.

"Hey!" he laughed as he kicked more water at the black-haired woman.

ChiChi shrieked as she ran through the ocean waves, the water no longer feeling so cold. Unknown to her, a similar pair of chocolate eyes looked though a pair of binoculars, watching her every movement. The watcher frowned when the lens landed on some stranger, a guy stranger.

ChiChi, I knew you were going to attract attention. The onlooker thought as his grip on the binoculars tightened into a white-knuckled grip. I don't want to lose my baby girl! He thought as he watched his daughter tackle the big man into the water. He frowned. But I can't keep her from anything forever.

"Ok! Ok!" Goku panted as he reached the surface. "I give!" he sighed as he pried a hysterical ChiChi off of him. He put the giggling woman into his arms, bridal style, and walked them to the sandy shore.

ChiChi, once over her overwrought phase, noticed their position and immediately jumped out of the arms of the trunks-clad man. Despite the warmth that his body provided for her while being carried, she just met the guy and for all she knows, this guy could be a rapist or something.

"Umm," she fumbled as she tucked a wet strand behind her ear. Jerking a hand towards a beach house nearby, she said, "I, uh, I guess I got to get going," She looked up at the, now, orange-ish sky. Damn, was I really gone for that long? "It's almost sundown."

Goku laughed softly as he scratched the back of his head with one hand. He looked nervous, ChiChi observed. His eyes were looking anywhere but her and his body language was stiff and still. Besides the obvious, the man was laughing at some invisible thing right next to her and was trying to say something, but only accomplished making himself look like fish out of sea.

Giggling quietly, the brunette said, "Yes? Is there something you want to ask me, Goku?"

"Y-Yeah," he muttered. Looking down, he mustered up enough courage to say, "C-Can I see you a-again sometime? Is tomorrow ok?"

ChiChi smiled fondly. "Yeah, I would like that."

Lifting his head up, the friendly man smiled brightly as he grabbed her board that was resting against the sand peacefully. "Here," he offered. "Let me help you with your stuff."

ChiChi inwardly awed at the man's helpfulness and dangerously decided to plant a chaste and innocent kiss on the cheek. That didn't help the embarrassed young man lessen his current state. "Thank you," she stated before rolling up her blanket and placing it inside her bag.

Goku grinned as he motioned ahead of him. "Lead the way, Chi."

The raven-haired beauty smiled at the cute nickname and courageously looped her free arm with his. She laughed at the surprise on his face and just carelessly pulled the bewildered man towards her home. Wait till I call Bulma about this! She thought as she knocked on her front door.

She smiled at her father when he allowed her in, but Goku wasn't given the same treatment. Instead of that warm smile that was given towards the new girl he just met, he was given a glare of hatred and a look that read protectiveness.

"Just leave her stuff here." The man stated gruffly.

"Y-Yes sir." The obviously discomforted man stammered as he placed ChiChi's board on the deck. "See you around, Chi!" he yelled over the older man's shoulder before leaving with a two-finger salute. Mr. King frowned he heard his daughter giggle giddily behind him as he closed the door.

He would need to keep a sharp eye out on his daughter. His eyes narrowed a fraction. And that new guy.

I guess this didn't come out as the one-shot I originally wanted. *sweat drops* So instead, I'm turning this into a three or two-shot! *shrugs* It all really depends.

I would like to thank InuFan4life for beta reading this!
