A/N: Thank you everyone for the wonderful reviews! I hope to continue this story regularly but I can't make any promises. I'll edit the first chapter in the future and make it less vague as I felt it was.

IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: I forgot that Bulma was already pregnant at this time until after this upload so I'll fix that really soon.

With that, here is my next chapter. Please enjoy! I apologize for any typos I may have missed.

DISCLAIMER

"Um…. So why are we here again?"

Bulma had called together their group of friends to explain the situation from last night and wanted their help with the romance dilemma. She knew that they wouldn't have agreed if she explained her idea on the phone so the scientist kept it until now.

Krillin had been the one to speak earlier, as he stood beside his wife and daughter.

"Did a new threat come up?" asked Yamcha, seeming almost excited. It had been a while since he had participated in a fight and he's been itching to get into action. "Of course, I understand why you would need my help—"

"Your help? Ha, that's a good one", interrupted Oolong. Puar shot the animal a look before comforting his insulted friend.

"And why are you here again?" replied Yamcha with annoyance. "Last time I remember, you only fled to save yourself."

"Like you didn't do the same", shot back the pig. "Besides I'm here because Master Roshi had some business to attend to. Don't ask me what it is because there are a million things I can think of."

"Can you guys shut up?!" barked Vegeta as he became irritated at the nonsense of an argument the pair was having. He wasn't in a good mood, especially since he had to be helping Goku with romance. Since when was it a prince's job to fix love lives?

"It's obviously not a new threat", pointed out Krillin, as he observed his surroundings. "Otherwise, Goku and Gohan would've been here by now."

"I also didn't sense any abnormalities", confirmed Piccolo. "Speaking of which, where is the Son family?"

Gohan hadn't been invited because first, Bulma didn't want him to find out about the meddling of his parents' love life. What if he didn't know things were rocky between his parents? Plus, he was a busy, hardworking man.

"W-Well, that's the thing!" began the blue-haired woman. She drew in a breath before exhaling and looking at the group seriously. "This is about the Son family. Chi-Chi and Goku specifically."

"EHH?!" chorused the group.

"Were they kidnapped?!" exclaimed Yamcha in fear. 'On second thought, this could be great for me. I'd be the hero if I found them', he thought to himself.

"What? There's no way that would happen to Goku", said Krillin. "Bulma, just tell us already."

Said woman laughed nervously but resumed a serious tone. "Their marriage is at stake here and we need to help them. Goku has saved the world for us so we must return this favor."

Everyone went silent for a while, a few murmurs here and there.

"So you're saying is that none of this is in my personal interest", stated 18, glaring at Bulma with her icy blue eyes as she carried her little daughter. The blonde turned to her husband. "Let's go."

"W-Wait! I'll give you some zeni as a reward for helping me", said Bulma as an attempt to bribe the other woman. It seemed to have worked because her attention was caught.

"That depends how much", listened 18 with a bit of a twinkle in her eye.

"100,000 zeni!" The amount was satisfactory but it would've been nicer for it to be higher. Krillin looked over at his wife and with one look, he knew her mind was made up.

"Looks like we're helping out, Bulma", he replied. "So what's the plan?"

"I call it 'Operation Help Goku's Love Life!'" There were a few groans from the group and Vegeta sucked his teeth in annoyance.

"That's quite a mouthful", complained Oolong but he earned himself a glare from the blue-haired woman.

"Fine then, let's call it 'OH GLL'. That way, no one will know what we're talking about except us", she spoke. "We must have Goku and Chi-Chi go on a series of ACTUAL dates. No martial arts or fighting!"

"But didn't Goku propose after fighting her?" Yamcha recalled.

Vegeta couldn't help but let out a big "HA!" at the mention of Kakarot's ridiculous proposal. He saw himself as superior in all things again, taking his pride to a high level.

"That's the problem! They need some actual romance and I have never seen Goku act romantic", protested the scientist. "First, we'll go with something subtle."

A few CC employees brought out a projector and screen to showcase the heiress's ideas. She was really going all out for this but then again, she was an overachiever. On the screen, a picture of a fancy restaurant was displayed.

"How is that subtle?" questioned 18, who had gotten a bit into the spirit after knowing she'd be rewarded. "Knowing their lifestyle, this is far from it. But I'm not saying that isn't a dream date."

"A-Ahaha, I hit the wrong button.. Of course I took into consideration all of those factors otherwise I wouldn't be able to call myself a scientist." Bulma displayed a new picture of a picnic underneath the stars.

"Ooh that's looks nice", complimented Krillin. In hindsight, this operation could also give him a few pointers for himself as well.

"Y-You like that, Krillin?" asked his wife. Her husband looked back at her and rubbed the back of his head.

"Sure, it seems simple but it's just as important", was his reply. The blonde made a mental note and a small blush appeared on her cheeks. "Do you like it, Juuhachigou-san?"

The question surprised the woman. "It looks like it could be fun."

"What if there are mosquitoes?" said Yamcha, ruining the mood. "Or the weather takes a bad turn?"

"Who cares what happens? It'll be done", spoke Vegeta. He was still not fond of the idea that he was being made to sit through this presentation. There was no benefit at hand for him and no money would bribe him to stay.

"Vegeta! You're not helping!" complained his wife.

"I didn't want to in the first place!" complained the saiyan in return. The pair glared at each other in anger.

"It looks like Goku and Chi-Chi aren't the only ones in need of help with their marriage", muttered Oolong, which caused for the hosting couple to whip their attention towards him. Their angry glares were powerful enough to pierce a hole through him.

"G-Guys, calm down", said Krillin in an attempt to ease the rising tension.

"Shut-up!" barked Vegeta.

"Ok."

"If all you're going to do is argue then I'm going to leave", finally spoke out Piccolo. The namekian had been quietly observing the unfolding events, as usual. Why was it that he was always dragged into miscellaneous/unusual events? Flashbacks to Chi-Chi forcing him to get a driver's license popped up in his head. The wives of the saiyans sure made his life more difficult than the actual saiyans. He was a martial artist, not a date planner. Although, he did have to admit that he was pretty good at planning things in general.

"Come on Piccolo, take break from martial arts for once."

"For YOUR information, I had plans to watch over Baby Pan and this isn't turning out to be worth it", he replied back to Bulma.

"Then it's settled. Piccolo is in charge of telling Goku and Chi-Chi to meet up at the location", decided the blue-haired woman one-sidedly. The namekian was in shock and disbelief.

"What about me, Bulma?" asked Yamcha with a smile. Vegeta wasn't very fond of him being so cheerful. But of course, he would never be jealous of someone he deemed to be unworthy. After all, he was a PRINCE and could easily beat almost anyone into pulp (with Beerus and Whis being an example of exceptions).

"Hmm… How about you and Oolong set up the site. But if you mess anything up, you guys WILL pay." Nobody wanted to death with Bulma's wrath so the others agreed immediately.

"What about us, Bulma?" asked Krillin, feeling pretty confident of executing any assigned job. His wife looked at the woman in charge for a response.

"If anything goes wrong during the date, I want you guys to prevent it from spoiling. I'll hide cameras in the trees nearby and we'll be watching it here from HQ, my house."

"What about their wardrobe?" questioned 18.

"Well the first date is a bit casual and going on a picnic in stilettos wouldn't be much fun", chuckled Bulma. "So their usual attire would be fine for this date. I'm not letting Goku wear his orange dogi forever. Chi-Chi would very much appreciate this favor."

Meanwhile, in the Son residence, both Chi-Chi and Goku sneezed simultaneously while having lunch with their son. Goten was amazed at how perfectly timed their sneezes were and thought it was due to them being married.

"Wow! Your sneezes are in sync when you get married?!" he exclaimed, leaving his parents confused.

"Maybe we're coming down with a cold", worried the wife as she felt her forehead.

"Nah, I feel fi—" and then suddenly they both sneezed again.

"Someone must be talking about you guys", suggested the little saiyan. Their parents thought about it for a moment before laughing at their son for his cute suggesting.

"Goten-chan, it's good to have you here", smiled his mother while his dad nodded in agreement. "I better prepare some tea for us, Goku-sa. I don't you getting sick."

Chi-Chi walks over to her husband and puts a hand on his forehead, giving him a worried look. Goku knew what she was referring to: the heart virus that nearly killed him. He smiled at her and held arm.

"Don't worry, Chi-Chi. I'm not gonna get sick like that anymore. We don't you gettin' sick." Both saiyans looked at the woman.

"If I did, this house would possibly explode", she said. It was supposed to be a joke but that would definitely happen if either one of the males were to work in the kitchen, more so Goku. The trio started laughing at the image of a dysfunctional home. They really did love Chi-Chi and appreciated her; it's just that they didn't express their appreciation in a normal, noticeable way.

"I don't want you to ever get sick, Mom", said Goten as he hugged his mother tightly. She looked down at him and returned the hug.

"I don't want anyone in the family to get sick either." Picking her son up, she gives him a kiss on the cheek. Goku smiles at them and pats his son's head.

"Aren't you jealous Dad~?" teased Goten as he cuddled closer to his mom.

"Of what?" asked the ever so oblivious man.

"Me and Mom. We're cuddling and giving kissies." With that, he gives his mom a kiss on the cheek.

"Hmm well it is feelin' a bit cold today", said Goku. "Mind if I scoot in?" He was asking permission from his son mostly, hoping to share.

"Silly Dad! It's summer!" Both the son and mother start laughing at the bad excuse that was given.

"Oops, guess I was caught", replied the saiyan while rubbing his finger under his nose in embarrassment. It was hard to tell if he was doing this to be silly or truly meant it.

Looking over at how his wife and son laughed filled him up with happiness and peace; one reward of saving the world was surely this beautiful moment they were sharing as a family. It was one of the things he thanked Kami for because without them, he honestly didn't know what'd become of him. Well, perhaps he would've been a hardcore martial artist but having a family taught him how to love and care for others. It all started from his Grandpa Gohan, who raised him well and helped to pass him on into the hands of someone else. His beloved wife accepted him for who he was but corrects him when he begins to go off track, which happens more than preferred. Their sons taught them to be responsible and a family altogether taught him that his decisions don't only affect him. Although, that last bit was something he was still working on.

"Goku-sa?" The call of his name snapped him out from his thoughts. He was able to hear the hint of worry from the tone of her voice.

"I'm fine Chi-Chi. I was just thinking about how nice today had been", he replied with a grin.

Both his son and wife smile and extend one arm towards him, inviting him to join in. Not needing to be told twice, Goku envelopes them both into a hug.

"Hey! You're both not sneezing anymore", pointed out Goten. His parents look at each other.

"Hmm maybe it was the hugs that cured us", suggested Goku. "What's that quote again? Was it 'Love is the best medicine'?"

"Goku-sa? You know a good quote like that?" asked Chi-Chi in surprise and shock.

"I'm full of surprises", he replied with a grin.

"If only they were all good", she added on.

"Hey!"

Now many would say that the Son family was quite dysfunctional, having an irresponsible father, an overprotective and crazy mother, and unfortunate sons. However, they do not get to see the bigger picture of when the family does indeed act lovingly. It mainly happens at home, where the moment is only theirs to keep and enjoy. Sure, there are disagreements here and there, varying in amounts per week but that's how life goes.

Goku's friends didn't get that much of a chance to see how the family had been changing. Little did the Son family know what their friends had in stock for them.

A/N: Congrats! You reached the end OF THE CHAPTER! I hope the alternating between Japanese name calling and English isn't too much. It's helpful in not repeating the same thing over and over but please do tell me if it is; I've had problems with that in the past (embarrassing lolol).

See you next chapter!
