Videl:Warrior Princess' Notes: Well, I decided to attempt again to do some humor. This takes place about 3wks after the whole Buu ordeal, so, Gohan and Videl are still in school. And I was just wondering what would happen if Goku had to go get a job. I got a couple of suggestions from my pretty perverted and humorous friends Keiko and Yusake, as well as some from myself. However, I *am* willing to take some ideas for jobs. I know it says it's a G/V fic, and it *will* be soon I promise! As anyone knows, that's pretty much all I write. There's some Goku/Chi-Chi in here, but it's mostly G/V. Oh yeah, I don't own DBZ or any of its franchises. R/R please! =^.^=
The Job Offer (or Order I should say. . .)
Goku patted his stomach after polishing off his tenth bowl of boiled rice, three jugs of green tea, two dozen scrambled eggs, and five pots of oatmeal; it was just a light breakfast. However, instead of Chi-Chi picking up his dishes and joking around with him, she bonked him on the head with a broom and pulled up a chair and looked at her newly-come-back husband with a stern eye. "Chi-Chi, honey, is something wrong?" he asked curiously, picking the pieces of straw out of his messy black hair.
"Goku, what do I buy the groceries with?" she asked tiredly. Goku smiled at her nervously.
"Uh, money…?" he answered in an unsure voice. Chi-Chi smiled, her eyes still looking tired, and nodded.
"That's right, and do you know how we get the money?" she asked sarcastically. Goku gulped and shook his head. "Right now, we're getting from my father and the money that Goten won at the tournament, which leaves us with almost no money to pay for Gohan's college!!!" she declared.
"Well, Chi-Chi, is there, um, anything I can do to help?" he asked, leaning back in his chair to try to steer away from Chi-Chi's wrath. Chi-Chi slammed her hand on the table, making the dishes shake, and leaned in closer and stared him in the eye.
"Goku, you have to get a job!!" Chi-Chi yelled, slamming her fist down again on the table on the last word. Goku jumped a little bit and looked at her nervously.
"But Chi-Chi, honey, I've never had a job before; I don't know what to do!!" Goku answered frantically, hoping to discourage Chi-Chi.
"Then finally put your strength of yours to good use and do something that requires it!!!" she shrieked and picked up his dishes and got up to wash them.
"But what if I can't find one?!" he declared, and Chi-Chi turned around and stared at him coldly.
"If you don't, then you'll get no more food from me bucko!" she snapped and returned to the dishes.
"WHAT??!!!" Goku demanded, almost falling out of his chair.
"You heard me," Chi-Chi calmly replied, still washing dishes, "GO FIND A JOB NOW!!!"
