Chapter 1

Okay People, this is my first EVER fan fiction, before this the closest I've came to writing a story would be for English homework back in the day. So please tell me what I am doing right or wrong, I'll appreciate the feedback.

Disclaimer: (the first of many I'm sure) Ok I don't own Dragonball Z or any of the characters; if I did, Raditz wouldn't have died and the rating would be a lot higher

This chapter is dedicated to Thunderyoshi for talking me into writing this XD --you'll find I use this lot hehe...

Quote of the day: Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

"talking"

---------------------------

//Everything is perfect// thought Chichi as the final touches were made to her dress. It was the day of her wedding and she couldn't be happier, she would finally be married to her beloved Goku, nothing could dampen her spirits.

Goku was standing with his friends who were all giving him their encouragement, "You dog!" Krillin exclaimed, "How the hell did you manage to bag a babe like her? Ha-ha I'm just messing, I'm really happy for you bro." The rest of the group agreed and Goku thanked them for their support.

"So," started Roshi, "need any pointers for tonight? Or have you got your game plan all sorted?" As usual the old hermit just had to let his perverted mind take over.

"What do you mean?" asked Goku, "I didn't know we were playing games tonight, will they be fun?" Everyone fell over at Goku's question.

Master Roshi was about to say something else before Bulma hit him upside the head. "Get your mind out of the gutter old man! Goku isn't a pervert like you!" Goku scratched the back of his and laughed in an attempt to stop the fighting.

"Come on guys," he said, "let's try to all get along. Besides all that, where is Chichi? I haven't seen her in ages." He started scanning the area, looking for his soon-to-be wife. He may have promised to marry Chichi thinking it was a type of food but when he finally understood the concept of marriage he kept his promise, not because he felt obligate to but because he genuinely wanted to be with her.

Goku couldn't deny his attraction towards her and he found himself falling for the fiery woman. When they had gone on an adventure in search of the banjo fan everything had felt so right and Goku knew that this was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

At first her obsession with grabbing onto him and hugging him was very annoying and made him uncomfortable, he wasn't used to human contact except while fighting, however, over time he found himself growing more accustomed to Chichi's attentions and found himself enjoying the contact. He had told Chichi of his new feelings and she seemed to be overjoyed with this news, she then told him that after they were married things would get a lot better. Goku didn't really know what she had meant by this but he couldn't wait to find out.

"Goku are you listening to me?!" Bulma's yelling cut through his train of thought as he was suddenly forced to turn his attention to her. "You aren't supposed to see the bride before the wedding," she went on, "its tradition!" She explained this as though talking to a child. Goku would admit that he could be very naïve when it came to certain things like customs and tradition but that was because no one had ever taken the time to teach him such things. His grandfather had died when he was very young and had only taught him things that were necessary for his survival, how could he know something if he had never been taught it?

He didn't let this bother him and instead, decided to concentrate on more important maters like food. "Hey guys, I'm starving!! Where's the food around here?" After looking around and seeing no immediate source of food he decided to take his search elsewhere, "I'll be right back guys, after I've found some food," with that he left the group and started his prowl. The others just looked on with giant sweat drops forming on their heads, //Good old Goku, he just never changes// they thought.

Meanwhile, somewhere in space, something was rapidly heading towards the Earth. "Half an hour until arrival on Planet Earth," stated the female voice of a computer. Dark eyes slowly opened possessing a look of pure determination.

"Soon Kakarot," he said, "you have been away from your own kind for far too long. It is about time you took you returned to you own people."

A voice suddenly sounded through the scouter he was wearing, "you know Raditz, I've read that talking to yourself is one of the first signs of madness."

"Oh really Nappa?" he replied, "and since when do you read?" He couldn't help a faint blush from appearing on his cheeks, damn that bastard for listening in!

"Since you take ages on a simple mission," he retorted cockily, "what's taking so long Raditz? Vegeta and I finished up on this planet days ago. Anyway, we're heading back for base, Vegeta has instructed that you meet us there after you've finished with your business on Planet what's-it-called."

"Understood," said Raditz rolling his eyes, "now leave me the hell alone!" with that said he cut the transmission and closed his eyes, preparing himself for his arrival on Earth.
