Chapter three: A Night with Ivy
Goku walked back into Ivy's apartment and sat back down on the sofa. "So can I get you anything, like a drink or something?" Ivy asked. "Yeah I'll have some water if that's ok?" Goku said. Ivy looked at hi funny but didn't question it. She came back with the water and a can of beer, "Here's your water." She said as she went to place it down on the table.
But the glass slipped out of her hand and the water spilled out all over Gokus top. Goku jumped at the cold water and Ivy quickly placed her beer down. "Omg I'm so sorry I can't believe I just did that." She quickly grabbed a cloth and started dabbing Gokus chest and stomach trying to dry it.
"It's ok Ivy don't worry." Goku said with his famous son grin. Ivy stood back up. "Just wait here I'll go and find you something else to wear." Goku nodded as he watched Ivy walk out of the room. E stood up and took his wet top off placing it on the side of the sofa.
Ivy walked back in inspecting the t-shirt she had picked up for him. "Hey this belonged to my ex so it should fit yo…" She stopped as she looked up and saw Goku standing there half naked. Ivy looked him up and down, she had realised that his muscles were amazing before but now that his top was off she had a full view of each and every chiselled muscle. "Oh hey yeah pass it here and I'll try it on." Goku said with a smile.
Ivy nodded as she was too busy trying not to drool over his wash board abs and huge pecks. Goku took the top off of her and pulled it over his head, it was a white polo shirt the fit was a bit tight but it would do. Goku looked back up at Ivy, "So what you think?" He asked. Ivy quick shut her mouth and nodded. "God. I mean great, you look great." She said tripping over her words.
Goku smiled and sat back down, "So what do you want to do?" Goku asked. Ivy sat down too and picked up her beer. She grabbed the tv remote and waved it about. "Well we can see what's on Tv." Goku nodded and sat back.
Ivy turned the tv on and started flicking through the channels. The news came on but Ivy flicked it over to another channel. She stopped as the mma came on and she placed the remote back on the coffee table. "Alright some mixed martial arts!" She shouted. Goku looked at her with surprise and then back at the Tv. Ivy noticed him looking at her and she smiled. "Hey you said you did martial arts, you think you could ever fight in something like this?"
Goku looked back at the Tv. "Hey yeah that looks like the world martial arts tournament but smaller." Hey said excitedly. Ivy smiled. "Yeah it's like the world martial arts tournament but just a bit different with a few more rules, but it's still amazing to watch." Goku sat back. "Ahh the good old tournament." Ivy sipped her beer and looked at him. "You ever go watch it?"
Goku laughed. "No I was in it." Ivy almost spat out the beer she had just drank. "W-WHAT?! You were in the tournament?" Goku nodded "Yeah why?" Ivy was yet again shocked by this Goku and she placed her beer down. "Wow you must really be something if you fought in the tournament, only the best fighters in the world make it there."
Goku nodded. "Oh yeah it was great the first two times I came second but four years ago I won it." Ivy almost fell over her seat at what Goku had just told her. "Y-You won it?!" Goku nodded and his face became serious all of a sudden. "Yeah but it wasn't easy, you see I had to fight this guy called Piccolo who was trying to take over the world."
"Really who else did you fight?" Ivy asked suddenly finding herself edging closer to Goku." Goku placed a hand on his chin as he started to think. "Well I had to fight so many people that I forgot, but I remember I had to fight my best friend Krillin, and an old man called Chackie chun oh yeah and Tien and many more strong opponents."
At this point her mouth was hanging wide open at what she had just herd. She remembered watching the tournament when she was younger and Tien had won it. "Wait a minute, so you're Goku?"
Goku looked confused at what she was saying. "Umm yeah but I already told you my name." Ivy shuck her head. "No, no I mean you're the Goku who fought in the tournament that time against Tien." Goku smiled. "Yeah that's me, man that was a great fight." Ivy was astounded, right here in her home was not only the person who had saved her life but most likely one of the strongest fighters on the planet. It was like a dream come true for her, but surly the gods were playing some kind of cruel trick on her.
"How could this happen to me. Me of all people?" Goku tapped her on the shoulder. "Hey you ok?" Ivy snapped out of her train of thought. "Um yeah am fine. Anyway how about we watch the fight?" Goku smiled and nodded. Both turned to the tv and began to watch the fight that was on.
A few hours later along with a few more cans of beer and Ivy was starting to get a little drunk, Goku not liking the taste of beer stuck to water so he was fine. They had been talking for a while now, about anything and everything. Goku had told Ivy about all of his friends and his adventures as a child. Needless to say Ivy was very impressed at all of the things Goku had done in his life. Training with the world famous master Roshi, defeating the red ribbon army and winning the world martial arts tournament. It almost sounded like some sort of fairy tale.
What seemed to catch her attention the most was these things called dragon balls. "So your saying that if you get all seven of these ball thingy's then they will grant you any wish?" Ivy said waving her beer around. Goku nodded. "Yep but it's not the balls that grant you the wish it's the dragon that watches over them." Ivy whistled, "Well you will have to show me these dragon balls one day."
Goku formed a large grin. "Hey yeah that's a great idea!" Ivy raised an eyebrow. "You can come with me on my adventure to get the last three dragon balls!" Ivy swigged the rest of her 4th beer and slammed it on the table. "Arghh… What?" Goku crossed his arms. "Yeah that sounds good, so how about it?" Ivy not even knowing what he had just said looked at the man in front of her.
Staring him up and down she began biting her lower lip at the memory of his body. Goku grabbed her by the hand and pulled her up. "Ok so you're gonna need some rest so I'll help you to bed." Ivys was surprised at how forward he was being all of a sudden. Goku quickly swept her off her feet bridal style and carried her to her be room.
"Um G-Goku don't you think it's too soon for this?" Goku laughed, "no way." Ivy tried not to go red in the face as he placed her on her bed and sat next to her. Ivy watched Goku as he sat there and she decided that she wanted it, she reached up to grab him but only found air. "W-what the where did he go?" ivy turned around to look for him, spotting him at the door with a large grin on his face. "OK Ivy I'll see you in the morning." Goku closed the door after that and disappeared. Ivy looked disappointed but then punched herself for what she had just tried to do. "God damn it Ivy of course he doesn't want to sleep with you the day he just met you. "She fell back onto the bed with all limbs stretched out and before she knew it he drifted off to sleep.
The next morning Ivy slowly awoke to the annoying beep of an alarm clock, as she slowly turned her head to look what was going on she noticed the time. "Oh shit!" She screamed as she shot out of bed at lightning speed, "Shit of shit oh shit!" She shouted as she started stripping off. "I'm late for work again! Oh man and I need to shower." She grabbed a towel from one of her draws and ran out of her room.
To her complete surprise she spotted Goku who was fast asleep on the sofa spread out all over the place. Ivys eyes widened in shock and she realised that yesterday was not a dream. Goku slowly opened his eyes and sat up with a smile. "Hey Ivy. Why are you naked?" Ivy looked down at herself and realised she was completely naked. Her face turned bright red and she let out a loud scream as she covered herself with the towel and turning around. "What's wrong? Goku asked as he got up."
Ivy couldn't believe it this man was real, he really saved her life and spent the night at her place. "U-um…" Ivy managed to say but was cut off as Goku interrupted. "So how did you sleep?" Goku asked with a care free smile. Ivy looked him in the eyes still red and embarrassed, "Um good thank you, how did you sleep?" Goku smiled back. "I slept great! And hey are you getting ready to come and find the last dragon balls with me?"
Ivy looked Goku in the eyes again with a questioning look. "What? Dragon balls? Come with you?" Goku nodded, "Yeah I thought last night you said you wanted to." Ivy tried to remember but it was all still hazy. "Umm listen Goku… I have work today and I'm already running late. It was nice meeting you and all, and thank you for saving my life but I just can't come with you to find some magic balls."
Gokus face saddened a little at what Ivy had just said. "Oh… I see." Ivy felt bad but she knew that she couldn't go with him, for all she knew he was crazy and these balls that granted wishs were a lie. "Its ok ivy, if you don't want to come that ok. I guess I'll just get out of here and leave you to go to work." Ivy didn't reply at first. She couldn't bring herself to look him in the eyes. "Um yeah that would be best."
Goku lowered his head. "Well it was nice meeting you." Ivy nodded. "yeah you to."
"Well see you around Ivy." Goku said with a small smile. Ivy looked up but couldn't bring herself to say anything and with that Goku walked out of the door. She felt bad, really bad. "Why did I just do that, he has to be the best looking guy I've ever met and I just tell him to get lost. What the hell is wrong with you woman?!" She shook her head and ran to the shower hoping that the hot water would wash her gilt away. After she was showered and had dried her hair, she got changed into her work outfit put her heels on and grabbed her keys. "Ok I' ready and I've got everything. I'd better get to work." She quickly ran out of the door and down the stairs, somehow doing it in heels.
Once she got out side she pulled her car keys out of her bag and was about to unlock her car when she was suddenly stopped by a familiar voice. "Hey baby long time no see." Ivy turned around to see none other than her ex-boyfriend standing behind her. "Can this day get any worse?" She thought to herself.
"What are you doing here Dylan?" Dylan smiled. "Cant a guy visit his woman without her getting angry?"
"I told you Dylan we're through, I thought I made that clear last time?" Dylan grabbed her by the arm. "Look Ivy, no body breaks up with me you got that? Now if I say your mine then your mine." Ivy pulled her arm free and slapped him across the face. "get off me you jerk!" She shouted as she did so. Dylans head twisted to the side from the force and snapped back. "W-Why you… You bitch! Nobody hits me!" Ivy knew that she was in trouble now and quickly turned around to run.
Dylan chased after her and quickly caught her. "Where do you think you're going?!" Ivy tried to struggle but his hold on her was too strong. "Let go of me!" She screamed. Dylan smiled and licked her ear. "No way baby I've got you now. Dylan stopped for a moment as he noticed someone walking up to them. He took a look and noticed it was a man in a white polo and jeans.
He let go of Ivy and studied the tank top. "Hey wait a minute… That's my shirt!" Goku looked at Ivy and completely ignored Dylan. "Hey Ivy sorry to bother you again but I thought I should return the shirt you gave me last night."
Ivy was completely shocked that Goku had just turned up but at the same time she worried for his life as she took a look at Dylan. "L-Last NIGHT?!" Dylan shouted. He turned to Goku and swung a big right hook at his face. Goku simply caught his fist out of reflex. He push Dylan back and he fell over, "Hey Ivy is this man trying to hurt you?" Ivy looked at Goku in shock again and then back to Dylan.
"It's none of your business punk, now I suggest you get the fuck out of here be for you die!" Goku turned to Dylan and his face became serious. "Look I don't know who you are, but if you threaten my friend then I won't show you any mercy." Dylan reached into his pant pocket and pulled out a large knife.
"Oh yeah tough guy?" Ivy screamed and stood in front of Goku. "No Dylan it's not what you think we didn't do anything!" Dylan shoved Ivy out of the way. "Die ass hole!" He shouted as he lunged in thrusting the knife at Goku.
Goku watch as the knife came towards him in slow motion and simply grabbed the knife by the blade stopping the attack. Dylans face turned to shock as he saw what had just happened. "W-what in the hell?" He said. Gokus face was deadly serious. He snapped the blade with his bare hand and dropped it onto the floor. Dylan tried to step back but fell over in shock. "H-H-How did you just?"
Goku took one step towards him. "If I ever see you again I won't be held responsible for what happens to you. Understand?" Dylan nodded and quickly scrambled to get up and ran off as fast as he could. Goku turned to Ivy with a smile on his face and offered her a hand.
"Are you ok Ivy?" Goku asked. Ivy just stared at him in amazement, she took the hand and Goku pulled her up. "He didn't hurt you did he?" Ivy slowly turned her head as if to say no. She was still utterly speechless and had no idea what to say. Goku waved a hand in her face. "Hello earth to Ivy?"
She snapped out of her daze and grabbed his hand; quickly she turned it over to inspect it for injury. But to her surprise again she found nothing. Not even a scratch. "H-How did you do that?" Goku just smiled. "Ughh training I guess." Ivy shook her head in disbelief.
"Your unbelievable, I guess that's the third time you've saved me now." Goku gave his famous son grin. "Don't worry about it, it's nothing really." Ivy smiled at him, "So um Goku you were saying about going after some Dragon balls?"
