After the bath, Goku and Bulma were outside in her backyard. The bluenette was watching the man train. Goku did one hand push ups, sit ups while hanging from a tree. He also sprinted around the house a few times. And he practiced his fighting techniques. To Bulma it was quite amazing that he could do all of that while still having the energy to do much more without breaking a sweat. She thought it over and decided that Goku should probably have a gravity room of his own to train in. He always wanted to push his limits to the absolute max. So why not give him a way to do so without having to fight to death all the time.
"Goku" she called out.
The saiyan stopped his training and looked over towards her. "Yeah Bulma?"
"I've been thinking, you should probably have a gravity room to train in. That way you can push yourself to the limit without having to fight all the time to do so." She told him.
Goku thought about it and it didn't sound like a bad idea to him. "It's a good idea but I like being able to bring the best out of myself by fighting somebody." He explained.
"I could add some modifications that will make a strong sparring partner for you while you're training in a heavier gravity. The heavier the gravity, the stronger the sparring partner." Bulma said.
"You can do that?" He asked.
"Well I'm not the daughter of the worlds smartest scientist for no reason Goku." She replied with a smile.
"Well yeah but I can transform into a super saiyan though. Wouldn't it just make it easier for me to destroy it?"
That question caught Bulma off guard. She didn't think of that. Nor did she expect Goku to be the one to point that out to her. "Depends on the level of gravity. Like I said the heavier the gravity means the stronger the sparring partner. Besides I plan on making yours a better version than Vegeta's. His gravity room max is 600gs. I plan on making yours 4x that since you're a super saiyan."
"How long will it take?" The man asked.
"No longer than 10 days if I'm all 100% focused on it. 14 at the max."
"Ok then if you think you can do it then I'll gladly accept. But is it ok if I help? So I can avoid the chest pains." He asked.
"Sure" she responded.
Goku went back to his training while Bulma continued to watch. She couldn't help but think of the workload she put on herself with this one. First she has to think about how is she going to make a machine strong enough that won't break easily. Once he either punches it while as a super saiyan or the gravity itself destroying it.
That was possibly going to be the toughest challenge next to making the room strong enough to handle the max gravity. Maybe 10 days was a stretch to be completely done with it.
After about an hour, the two decided to do something outside of capsule corps. Goku asked Bulma if she could go to his home in Mt. Paozu. He wanted to see if he was ready to confront the memories of Chi-Chi that lies in the house. The young scientist agreed to go to give him moral support.
Goku flew into the skies while Bulma was in one of her airplanes. It didn't take long to reach their destination. The two landed in front of Goku's home. It was odd for Goku to be here now. He always felt warmth whenever he arrived at his home. The saiyan opened the door and walked inside. It was dark everywhere. It felt cold and empty. This was not the same home Son Goku was used to living in. Bulma turned on the lights and sat down on the dining room chair. She could tell this place had an empty feeling to it.
Goku walked into the kitchen. A flashback appeared in his head of Chi-Chi making dinner over the stove. He shook his head to try to get rid of it but once he turned around to look in the living room. Another flashback of Chi-Chi cleaning appeared. She was wiping the dust off the table and shelves. Goku stumbled back fell to the ground breathing heavy. Bulma got up and knelt down to check on him.
"Goku! What's wrong? are you ok?" She asked with worry.
He took a few seconds to catch his breath. All while chest started aching. "Yeah I think I just had a flashback." He told her.
"A flashback? Of what Chi-Chi?"
The man nodded, it was surprising to him that it hit him like that. He stood up and walked into his bedroom. Bulma followed him. Goku looked in his room. The bed was still unmade from that day. This specific room seemed to give off a darker feeling than the rest of the house. Bulma had to guess it must've been the last place Chi-Chi was in before Goku took her to the hospital. She felt so bad for him. Out of all the people who had to go through this. Why did it have to be the guy with the purest heart in the world? It just didn't make any sense to her.
Goku sat down on the bed and touched the spot where Chi-Chi was laying down. He swear he could still feel her presence in that exact very spot. That's when another flashback hit him. This time it was the night where they both made love in order to get Chi-Chi pregnant. He remembered every single detail about that night. The way her skin felt against his. How hot her breath was against neck. And her hands gripping his chest. Even the absolute beautiful look in her eyes. Goku might have not been the brightest person. And he can be very forgetful at times. But on that particular night. Goku made sure he remembered every single thing about it. He could hear her voice ringing through his head. The wonderful sounds that came out of her mouth.
The saiyan's chest tighten even more as all the memories of him and his wife flooded into his head. The aching he felt was greater than usual. Before he knew it, he was crying a river of tears yet again.
"Chi-Chi...I'm so sorry..." he voiced out in a low but heartbreaking tone.
Bulma who was still standing. Watched her best friend cry his heart out. It made her feel so terrible that it was nothing that she could do to help him. She could feel her heart sank watching Goku cry. She walked over to the bed and sat next to him. Bulma wrapped her arms around her best friend then held him tightly. Goku just cried on her shoulder. He couldn't hold it in like he wanted to. Just being in the house alone was already too much for him.
If it was one thing that he was truly grateful for at this moment was Bulma being there to comfort him. He couldn't imagine how alone he would if felt if he would've came here by himself.
Time passed to the point where he no longer cried. His eyes were still red and puffy. Although, he did feel a warmth beside him. A very comforting warmth that could put him to sleep.
The man looked up and met Bulma's gaze. Normally he wouldn't have no problem looking her in her eyes. Now he had to urge to look away for some reason. He felt his heart beat increased rapidly too. Somehow he was able to keep his gaze locked into hers.
Bulma stared right back into his eyes. It was weird to see Goku at his lowest point. It was something that she wasn't used to. But it kinda made her feel closer to him than she ever felt before. She could feel her own heartbeat increase.
'This isn't the time to be feeling horny Bulma! Get it together!' She screamed to herself inside of her head.
However, it was no use. Slowly but surely, her head inched closer to his as his did the same. Inch by inch the two got closer. Bulma could feel his breath on her lips. As soon as his lips were about to touch hers. He pushed himself back. Goku had his head down but his hands were still holding her shoulders.
"We...shouldn't...atleast not...yet.." Goku said in a low tone while showing a small tint of red on his cheeks.
"Yeah...you're right...not yet.." Bulma responded.
"You're a great friend Bulma, I appreciate everything you've done for me. I just don't think it would be a good thing to do that here." He told her.
"Yeah I mean it's not a good idea to do that the first day you come back to visit your home ever since your wife died." She agreed.
"Chi-Chi's spirit would kill me if something were to happen here." He said.
"You and me both." She replied.
The two looked at one another and laughed.
