R030T: Miss Innocence is not here, so she ordered me to "Kick-off" chapter three of "What Faith Can Do."
Trunks: Why isn't BI here?
R030T: Miss Innocence is ashamed, Master Briefs.
Goten: Why is she ashamed?
R030T: Miss Innocence fell into the creek located 43.8 feet behind her house.
Goten: Oh, well then I guess you will be saying the disclaimer?
R030T: Sorry Master Goten, Disclaiming Miss Innocence's stories, is not in my programming.
(Video recorder appears) BI: Sorry I didn't finish programming 'R030T' I was intending him for later chapters but unforeseen events occurred… my frog will now tell the disclaimer.
BI's frog: (sees BI's finger) Yummy! Nom, nom, nom!
BI: *&$%! (sweat drops) hehe, Okay people if I owned DBZ I honestly wouldn't be wasting my time writing these stupid stories… I mean really, if I was Akira Toriyama I would be busy doing other stuff! Go ahead and sue! I am not breaking the law! (places cute frog back into the aquarium) Bad Goku! Oops… (switches off the recorder while still nursing the finger 'Goku' bit)
~!#$%^&*(STORYTIME)*&^%$#!~
Twenty six hours from previous chappy…
*WHAM!* A feminine body slammed into the frozen ground at breakneck speeds, whilst a male landed beside her and lifted golden body up as it dropped into its normal state.
"Sheesh Chi, you took it a little far don't you think?" The male figure known as Gohan asked his little sister while chuckling slightly.
"Don't patronize me Gohan!" I snapped but cringed and clutched my side painfully.
"Okay, okay, we'll grab a senzu bean and then you can leave me alone so I can sleep!" He said jokingly as he gently sat me on my bed once we got back to the living quarters. He handed me a senzu bean which I took gratefully and popped into my mouth.
I smiled as my wounds healed, although my clothes had seen better days… I just sighed and slipped off my pants, boots and wrist wraps. All I could do after that was lie down again on my bed and try to sleep. Only I again found myself in the dreaded dream realm and I feared another nightmare of my past, but I was in for a surprise when I saw myself staring at myself in the present.
~The Present~
I was staring at the figure of someone I didn't expect to see, I was staring at Trunks. And I couldn't help but smile at him, I guess I was in love with him.
"Man he's cute…" I found myself blushing until I saw another figure approaching from the distance.
"Who would be out this late?" I looked the figure shocked when I realized it was me!
~Third Person~
Gochi approached Trunks as quietly as a whisper, while another Gochi watched and put the pieces together.
"You made it!" Trunks glanced towards the feminine figure.
"Of course I made it, I wouldn't miss it for the world." A light blush was gracing her moonlit face as her pools of forest green glinted before they closed to accept the passionate embrace.
(.)
Multiple scenes consisting of Gochi's happiest memories since she became a free woman flashed around her, her favorite one being the first day she returned:
Gochi was dressed in rags and currently being placed gently on the ground by her father who had just retrieved her from the hell hole known as the D.C.D.C. Gohan, Goten and, Videl stepped out of the dome shaped house to inspect the new power that had arrived with Goku.
"Whoa dad, where did you pick her up?" Goten was staring, shocked at the scantily dressed female newcomer. "Yeah dad mom might not be able to handle another prostitute." Gohan smirked while Videl glared back and forth from me to her husband. Unfortunately an older woman appeared; she had a tear stained face and was wielding a frying pa.
"GOKU HOW DARE YOU BRING THIS, THIS, SCUM TO MY HOUSE ON A DAY LIKE THIS?" Gochi visibly flinched at the reference to her attire; choosing to cower behind her muscular father, unable to bear the fact that she was unrecognizable to her family. Her green eyes were brimming with tears as her dad began to explain.
"Chi calm down, I understand what today is, trust me, but you must believe me when I say that this young lady isn't scum, and I learned my lesson last time I brought someone to the house." He chuckled and scratched the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Why should we believe you?" Chi-Chi crossed her arms defiantly, frying pan still in hand. She didn't notice my dad slowly losing his patience.
"You should believe me because this is one of those times that you should, and even if it has been eight years, you should know your own daughter!" My mom and everyone were taken aback by his outburst, but it wasn't until the words sat in, that they realized what he said.
"You mean to tell me that Gochi isn't dead… and she is right behind you?" Everyone was open mouthed and wide eyed as they were answered with a slow solemn nod. My mom slowly made her way to look at me in the face; there was no denying it once she looked into my eyes. Tears flowed from her eyes like a water fall while her arms tightened around my neck. The tearful moment was broken when she got whiff of me and I turned red as she ushered me to the shower. My dad had long since departed to do something or another, so all there was to do was talk about my return.
"I can't believe I am finally free!" I stepped out of the shower, clean at last. And I was about to start drying off when my father materialized in front of me with Prince Vegeta and another person that I knew but couldn't remember. I was covered with a towel and blushing bright red before they could blink twice.
*Wham* I punched my dad in the gut while the purple haired teen blushed more than me and Vegeta roared with laughter.
"What The Hell! Get Out, Now!" Gohan and Goten ran in and busted through the door; ready to come to their long lost sister's rescue. They sure weren't expecting the three ring circus that their eyes met.
I was holding a ki ball in my free hand, Trunks was shocked stiff and still redder than a tomato, Goku was clutching his gut and muttering something about 'like mother like daughter,' and Vegeta was rolling on the floor laughing his ass off and rambling off something like 'That idiot Kakarott!' and 'She is definitely Saiya-jin!'
My brothers' sweat dropped and herded the other Saiya-jins out the door to leave me in peace.
I dressed in some of Videl's old clothes and walked down the stairs whilst fiddling with my less than desirable hair.
"Oh good, Gochi, your out!" My mother smiled and circled me, all the while holding a smile on her face as she critiqued me.
I was dressed in some fitted jeans, tennis shoes, and baby blue loose tank top. She took one look at my hair before whipping out a pair of scissors. Only to be stopped by Videl who shook her head.
"Listen Chi-Chi, I know you mean well, but I've seen some of the haircuts you give and I think you should let me give it a go." She chuckled lightly, everyone knew how short tempered the wife of Goku was, so you had to choose your words very carefully.
My mother sighed in defeat and passed the scissors over to the younger woman, who silently relished in her easy win.
"Okay could we stop arguing over who cuts my hair and get to it, it's a mess!" I scratched the back of my neck and grinned, unknowingly perfectly executing the classic Son Grin Pose tm. My mother and Videl sweat dropped, but quickly recovered and Videl set to work.
(^3^)
My rabbit soft hair was now very much in style, shoulder length slightly spiked, layered, and side swept bangs that layered with the rest of my hair. I smiled at myself in the bathroom before grabbing a hair tie and pulling it up into a stylish pony-tail with my bangs still covering half of my face.
I walked downstairs once again this time extreme amounts of food were being hauled out the door by my previously training father and brothers. My stomach growled and I blushed for the hundredth time that day.
'What's with all of the food, it's enough to feed an army of soldiers for weeks!'
Just then I walked right smack into the purple haired guy from earlier.
"Gah! Oh I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention!" I was apologizing profusely only to find him laughing nervously.
"You haven't changed all that much have you 'Chi?" I looked at the teen again and realization dawned on me.
"Trunks, I didn't recognize you!" Our eyes met and he held out his hand to help me up which I accepted our eyes not parting ways. A blush graced my cheeks but I didn't care, I was lost in his pools of blue…
~Back to Reality :P~
(^,.,^) with Trunks
Trunks jolted awake, he had fallen asleep and dreamed of Gochi. Kami he didn't know what to think of her, all he knew was he wanted to lose himself in her eyes, and keep her forever in his arms.
"Trunks, Get your ass off of the couch and into the Gravity Chamber!" He groaned and stretched his tired limbs before trudging reluctantly towards the said GR.
"I'm coming dad!" He yelled, the images of Son Gochi, fresh in his mind. 'Maybe this training session will be better.'
(*.*) with Goku
"Nine hundred ninety-eight, nine hundred ninety-nine, one thousand!' "Whew that was fun!" I stood up and almost immediately my stomach growls. "Well time to eat!"
'I wonder how Gohan is handling Gochi?'
("V") back to Gochi
I woke up from my dream with one thought 'I am in love with Prince Trunks Vegeta Briefs.'
~!#$%^&*(^^)*&^%$#!~
