A/N: I deserve a punishment for such a late update!

Thank you for all who reviewed, followed and faved. Enjoy!


The delicious smell of food filled his senses, his mouth was watering and he had enough self control not to drool. He really wanted to eat to his heart's desire but looking at the frowning Ox king, Goku thought it might be best to eat the way his wife always pestered him on whenever he went to meet her family or attend their parties.

God he hated those.

He looked at the still frowning large man, Goku smiled nervously and started eating as civil as he possibly could. He looked at Chichi who was sitting right next to him, eating like the delicate lady that she is. She looked at him as soon as she noticed his gaze on her, she was slightly bewildered at the way he was eating now but then her puzzled expression broke into a smile. His lips involuntarily curled upward into a smile matching hers, he's been doing that a lot lately, her smile always brought a smile to his face. He decided, he liked Chichi's smile.

After the awkward moment, Goku resumed eating but not before catching Chichi's father with even a deeper frown on his face, why the hell was he frowning in the first place? Goku always thought that the Ox king liked him but right now he wasn't looking it and Goku couldn't think of something he did wrong in the past or even now, yeah the whole situation in Chichi's room was a bit awkward but they sorted it out, right? Was there something he's missing? This isn't about the promise, is it? He hoped not after all, Chichi forgave him.

He inched closer to the black haired beauty's ear placing his hand on the side of his lips, he whispered ''hey, Chi? Is it just me or is your dad doesn't look too happy to see me? ''

Ignoring the tickle from his breath, Chichi watched her father perplexed as she is, he was observing the both of them intently. No, it wasn't just Goku, her father is really not happy to see him. She hadn't had the time to tell her father that she was seeing Goku, on friendly basis that is, and it didn't help that her father has found him in her room with her clad in only a bathrobe, she was nervous when she explained that she has met Goku at the lake and that he was here because he learned a little magic trick that allows him to pop up wherever he pleases. though she understood his concerns still he didn't have to act so rude, so what if she invited Goku to stay for dinner without his consent? And poor Goku, he didn't do anything except break her heart along time ago and she moved on, besides her father should have more faith in her, she's a lady dammit and it's not like she's fooling around with her old crush.

She cleared her throat while looking at her father, hoping he'd take the hint and drop the attitude. Fortunately her father did take the hint.

''so, Goku. What are you doing here?'' the Ox king questioned with a clearly fake smile.

'woah so blunt'

''I came to see Chichi... because I got the money from the tournament so we can go see that contractor guy and build a house on Mt. Paozu'' he explained with a smile. There was a slight panic showing on the Ox king's face as the wheels inside his minds started turning in the wrong direction ''a house?''

''yeah, I'm kinda moving my from current location'' which is the lake not too far from his kingdom.

''Ohhh!" he exclaimed relieved that his daughter wasn't eloping with her old crush, he would have been upset if that happened without telling him '' and where have you been all this time?'' he further inquired, eyebrow raised '' I hope you have a good reason for not coming back to fulfill your promise to my daughter ''

Goku chocked and started banging on his chest to get the cluster of food caught in his throat down, there was something threatening in the Ox king's tone and he had no idea what to tell the him, he was getting real nervous now, he opened his mouth to say something but luckily Chichi already beat him to it

''me and Goku already settled that misunderstanding, Daddy'' Ox stared at his daughter puzzled by her words ''misunderstanding?"

The earth raised Saiyan cleared his throat ''Y-you see'' he started ''I thought a bride meant something to eat hehe'' he laughed nervously as he rubbed the back of his head.

The father of Chichi blinked a few time, he thought a bride meant food? all this time Chichi stubbornly waited, all the suitors she refused and all for a hugely misunderstood promise? The large man wasn't sure how to feel at the moment, he felt sorry for his daughter but he thought he should be glad she didn't end up with him, because Goku albeit heroic was actually an idiot.

''I was going to come back for that food one day though'' Goku foolishly tried to defend his case as he smiled brilliantly until he realized scowl on Ox's face and what he said wrong ''I mean bride'' he corrected wrongfully ''I mean food?" what was it anyway? It was all so confusing. by now Goku was blushing fervently and sweating bullets, he could honestly say he's never been in a similar situation before, not even when the first met his father in law.

Chichi was trying her best not to laugh at Goku's dilemma despite her nervousness, she just couldn't help but think how awkwardly cute Goku was looking. Eventually Goku finally managed to say something right ''Chichi said she's not mad at me about it'' his voice was barely above a whisper, and stared back at his food. He looked like a child waiting for punishment for something he's done wrong.

Chichi nodded approvingly ''yes. It's all settled and in the past now'' she looked at her father with a certain look he knew all too well ''right, daddy?''

The subtle hint in Chichi's voice to drop the subject warned the Ox king to do so. He could have sworn Chichi was raised by her mother with the way she turned out to be just like her despite that her mother died during child birth. Chichi can be intimidating at times, he guessed he had a hand in it too, after all he raised his daughter to be a princess. She was authoritative, proud, demanding, sometimes illogical and not to mention stubborn ... Other than that though, Chichi was actually a well mannered girl. With a heavy sigh the Ox king complied and tried to change the subject, it was better closed anyway ''so why are you moving Goku?''

Goku choked for the second time since the start of this lunch, it's becoming pretty uncomfortable right now. Chichi tried to help by patting his back.

The Ox king narrowed his eyes, he couldn't help but think thay those two were too comfortable with each other.

After a few seconds of coughing, Goku answered ''it's kind of complicated'' it was the best answer he could come up with to avoid telling the Ox king the real reason and it's not like he was lying, it is really complicated.

''it's okay, Goku, you can tell me. I'll understand'' he insisted. Goku gulped, what was he supposed to say anyway? He couldn't tell the Ox king that he was busy with a cheating wife and completely forgetting about his promise to marry his daughter. And even if they settled the whole thing, his personal life is still a touchy subject for him-

''because he wanted a house in Mt. Paozu near his grandfather Gohan'' Chichi stated flatly and irately. Goku smiled appreciatively at the Ox princess and she smiled back.

''Oh!" the Ox king exclaimed dubiously.

The rest of dinner went relatively quiet, none of them said a word, Goku tried to eat in the best mannerly way he could manage while the Ox king watched him like a hawk, but thankfully refrained from asking any more awkward questions and in all honesty, Goku couldn't wait for this meal to be over, he even cut his usual portion of food in half, well he just ate as much as the Ox king did which thankfully, he was a large person he ate much more than average. Still it wasn't nearly enough for Goku.

After lunch was done with, much to Goku's relief, Chichi took her friend to see the contractor working for their kingdom. The Ox king insisted that he would accompany them despite Chichi's insisting otherwise, but of course her father wasn't about to let his engaged daughter go alone with her old crush, so eventually Chichi relented, she had nothing to hide eitherway, if anything, she felt immensely relieved that her father finaly knows about her secret. She was still annoyed by his behavior though, the way he kept watching them suspiciously, the way he always pushed them apart whenever they stood close to each other and she definitely did not like the way he made Goku uncomfortable. She loved her father, she really did and she also knew he was just being an overprotective parent but there still going to be one hell of a talk later.

Goku on the other hand, let Chichi handle all the transactions with the contractor 'man', they also agreed for things to be done fast, that was the only thing Goku put his input on, then it came to the design of the house. He wasn't expecting anything different from what he'd seen in the village, they pretty much all had that dome-like structure and frankly he couldn't care less what the house looked like, it was just a house after all. Chichi thought otherwise and she insisted that he picks a design so he settled to just Letting her pick it, she seemed somewhat flattered and excited at the same time, he had concluded then that Chichi loved to be in charage, he could tell by that gleam in her eyes.

The rest of the day went extremely boring, Goku would have loved to avoid it if it wasn't for Chichi scolding him every now and then to pay attention and the Ox king scowling at him, just daring him to do something wrong. They ended up having to go to Mt. Paozu to set the location and they went by car, no flying and most definitely no instant transmission because... Well because Chichi said so. The Ox king tagged along much to Goku's dismay, all the while Goku was trying to figure out what's the deal with that man!? If only he wasn't Chichi's father...

By the time they were done with all the boring details with the contractor and work was set on the next day, they were back to Mt. Frypan, it was already dinner time and the Saiyan's stomach grumbled loudly.

Chichi laughed ''well I guess you're staying for dinner now'' matter of fact, Chichi was impressed with how Goku held himself back during lunch and was mostly impressed that his stomach didn't grumble sooner, it must've been the affect of her father hovering over the man and burning holes in his back. Chichi almost laughed at her father's behavior, it reminded her of those high-school movies she watched where the girl would bring her boyfriend and the father would act all threatening and it kinda felt nice. It gave her the sense of normalcy she never experienced when she was a teenager spending her time training, scaring all the village's boys and waiting for the man of her dreams to come marry her, except she's not a teenager anymore and Goku was most certainly not her boyfriend.

''you know what? You should stay the night, we have a lot of guestrooms and it would be a nice change from the lake for you, wouldn't you think? '' she offered with a smile.

''he can't!'' the Ox king interjected loudly before Goku had the chance to say anything. The outburst causing both of the young martial artists to stare dumfounded at the large man. Chichi shot her father a glare and he gulped ''I mean the rooms are... Uh.. Dusty''

''dusty?!'' her eyes were narrowing dangerously.

''uh...t-the the maids haven't cleaned them in a while!'' the excuse sounded faker than all those girls in master Roshi's magazines, Goku smiled, it was a bitter one but at least he knew where he's not wanted ''it's okay. Actually I have to get back to Mt. Paozu, I... Uh ...forgot something'' he lied.

''well at least stay for dinner '' Chichi curtsied, embarrassed by her father's behavior towards Goku and she wanted to make it up to him by at least feeding his bottomless stomach.

''it's alright I can hunt something there'' he gave a genuine smile towards the only person he appreciated right now more than anything.

Chichi watched as he readied himself to take flight and quickly grabbed his arm, he stilled, looking back the short women, eyebrows raised curiously ''I'll meet you at the lake!" she spoke in almost a hushed whisper, probably because of her father standing so close, he wasn't sure if she was asking or just stating nonetheless he grinned and nodded ''sure, see you there!" and with that Chichi smiled back and released his arm watching as he bolted towards the skies.

As soon as Goku was out of sight, she turned an icy gaze towards her father, placing her hand on her hip and tapping her foot incessantly on the ground, her eyes narrowed to mere slits and her whole demeanor screamed 'explain yourself'

The Ox king immediately addressed his concerns ''Chichi, what were you thinking? Have you forgotten you're engaged?!"

She gritted her teeth and let her hands fall be her sides, balling her fists "just what did you think I've been doing with Goku? We're just friends"

He flinched "but Chichi, you've been crazy about him half your life. It's inappropriate ... You have a fiance now!"

''ughh... I already told Arian and he definitely did not overreact like you did. Can't believe how rude you were towards him" she retorted hotly. She sighed, ignoring the look of hurt on her father's face and continued ''besides he's married ... And he's been through a lot, I was merely helping him out!"

Ox stared back at his daughter, shocked. Goku was married? Somehow that piece of information changed things and he now felt ashamed but still...

''why didn't you tell you've been meeting with him?''

''because I knew you'd make a big deal out of it!" with that Chichi stormed back inside the castle leaving her father behind with his thoughts of shame and regret. It wasn't like he disliked Goku, on the contrary, if he met him under any other circumstances -ones that did not involve his daughter- he would have rejoiced but right now it was different, she was engaged. It was painful watching his daughter as she came back from the 23rd martial arts tournament with a somber expression on her beautiful face, it was painful watching his daughter as all her dreams and future plans crumbled but Chichi seemed to have finally moved with Arian, he only wanted her to be happy and he knew her fiance was capable of making her happy which was why he was worried that Goku would ruin that chance for her but with what Chichi told him he's starting to think that maybe he was overreacting.

He sighed and planned that the next time he'd see Goku he'd make sure to be nice to him


She had listened as his friends recite all that her husband did when he fought those aliens monsters, he was alive again and she really have missed him. There were times before he died that she thought their marriage might have been a mistake but once she became a widow, grief struck her at full realized then that she really cared about Goku.

His friends went on and on as they talked about some other planet, some magical balls and what not, she stopped paying attention as soon as the discussion drifted away from her husband towards his dead friends and opted for playing with Goku's hair as she currently sat beside him on the hospital bed. Goku looked up at her and smiled affectionately.

Karin couldn't wait for his friends to leave, she wanted to spend some time 'alone' with her husband, it has been a year since she'd seen him last after all. Despite one of those monsters turning into a big giant ape and stomping him, Goku looked to be in an okay shape for someone who went through such an ordeal, just a broken arm and broken leg, nothing too serious, he can handle a little activity.

Her eyes admired her husband's noticeably -though still lean- more defined muscles, just thinking about letting her hands explore the recent change, .That and all the stories she heard, strength was attractive and hearing about her naive little husband's god-like strength sent the wheels of her desire working overtime. but even SHE's not that indecent to do it in front of everyone else

She was too caught up in her own little world to notice the new visitor.

''Mr. Popo!" Goku's voice brought her out of her daze. Once she turned, she jumped out of her skin at the sight of the dark skinned, genie look-alike man standing on just outside the window on what seemed to be a flying carpet.

She should have been used to Goku's unusual acquaintances, but they alway seemed to catch her off guard.

She pursed her lips and watch with mild interest the whole interaction between Goku's friends and the strange visitor. It wasn't long before Bulma was decided to leave with the man on his flying carpet. There was just something about watching the Capsule Corps. Heiress struggle in fear that was highly hilarious, she stifled her laughter, or at least she tried.

Strangely enough her husband has been silent most the time she's been around. Shortly after they were finally alone, the old pervert left with the fat pig and Yamcha's cat. The other 'fat pig' with the crazy hair followed their suite and her husband's bald midget that she couldn't seem to remember his name despite how much her husband mentions him excused himself under the excuse of wanting to eat in the cafeteria. Perhaps he wanted to give the couple some time alone, or just maybe he caught sight of the irritated look for his presence she gave him.

As soon as the coast was clear, she smiled mischievously as she got up and headed towards the door and placed a chair under the door knob. Her husband watched as she walked back to him, confused by her actions though as soon as he saw the look on her face, he knew what she wanted.

''I missed you!" she purred in his ear as she assumed her previous position, nibbling on his ear then down his neck.

''I missed you too" it came out as agasp. Her nails racked against his hard pecks and rubbed his nipple over the hospital gown "we have to be quick before that friend of yours gets back" her hand was already making it's way towards his member and started stroking his growing shaft.

He groaned ''wait... Y-you want to do 'it' here and now?" He asked. She rolled her eyes irately "what do you think?" she resumed her work, kissing his cheek and the corner of his mouth before she moved to his jaw.

''I thought you wanted to talk'' he panted, well that was what he wanted. She ignored him, silencing any other protest by crushing her lips against his and delving her tongue into his mouth, he had no choice but to comply, engaging in a tongue battle and before he knew it, she was already dragging his hospital gown upward and positioning herself on top of him. He was nervous, his lower body part wasn't fully healed, the half Senzu bean only did a half-assed job.

still, Goku hated disappointing her.

Her head rested on his chest in the aftermath of their love making, drawing lazy circles on the fabric of his hospital gown, she was truly happy to have her husband back.

''did the guys tell you about where I came from?'' he suddenly asked. She gave him a quizzical look "errr... No?"

He looked nervous "so they didn't tell you anything?"

She faced him fully now "I haven't seen them till you came back, why?"

He held her hand and smiled saddly "they probably wanted me to tell you" he wished they didn't. With heavy sigh, he began "remember the man who came a year ago?" she nodded

" that... That was my brother. Karin I'm a Saiyan too"

Silence ...he was met with silence

"Master Roshi told me that grandpa found me in an odd space ship in the woods"

She abruptly pulled her hand and jumped out, away from him as if she just found he was sick with the plague once the information finally sunk in "you're one of those freaks?"

He waved his hands in rebuttal "no... I mean yes, but I'm not like them!" he let his hands fall in his lap "I was programmed to destroy the earth, yes but I hit my head, so you have nothing to be afraid of" he reassured desperately.

"why didn't you tell me what you are?" she screamed

"I didn't know. I only found out before I died... Karin?"

"I can't believe I slept with an alien monster! " she exclaimed with disgust, her face pale while she rubbed her temple, completely missing the hurt expression on Goku's face.

She felt sick.

"Karin... I know- I know this is big news but I assure you, I wouldn't never hurt you or anyone else" he smiled with trepidation, hoping that his words would convince her.

They didn't.

"I can't stay here!" she stated urgently. He didn't know what to do or say as he watched her grabbing her purse and hastily walk out of the room bumping into Krillin in the process. He thought she'd understand and accept him, he really thought she would.

"what was that all about?" his friend asked, shocked though he received no answer from the now desolate man.


She was panting, sprawled on the grass, trying to catch her breath, her and Goku have been at it since morning and she's exhausted now. Goku didn't pester her about meditating today, but instead they just sparred and Chichi found out that although she was slightly stronger than before and can definitely shoot more Ki blasts, she still didn't compare to the man beside her, she was like a level 10 and he was at least a level hundred, if not more, blocking her attacks effortlessly while pointing out her flaws with a smug look on his face, she hated that look!

''Gosh, Chichi. I'm exhausted'' he feigned a tired voice. Chichi glanced in his direction, he was casually eating a banana, there's not a drop of sweat on him and he was far from tired. Chichi narrowed her eyes, his mockery was not appreciated, she mumbled the word 'asshole' and dropped her head back on the grass.

Goku chuckled, he just couldn't help himself when it came to teasing the Ox princess but now he was faced with a dilemma, he needed to become stronger and Chichi just wasn't a challenge to him. he has been training by himself a little, still he needed more motivation ''I need a training partner'' he almost groaned, Chichi perked and her face lit up with a grin and he immediately knew what she was thinking ''not you, Chi. I meant a strong training partner'' he stated and dodged a rock thrown his way absentmindedly.

''why don't you ask your friends? I'm pretty sure they're not as mad at you as you think they are'' she pointed out nonchalantly. He sighed, she might be right, maybe he was overreacting about his friends reaction but still he wasn't ready to face them just yet, he needed to get his shit together first. He smiled, that was well underway, it's been roughly two weeks since he got that contractor guy to build him a house, and he checked the house yesterday, it was almost done. He couldn't wait to live there, owning a house just sprouted the feeling of independence, it wasn't as if he wasn't independent before, he manged by himself just fine without the need of other's assistance, for example, if he wanted food he could just hunt or fish, if he wanted water, he could find it and he did pretty good fending for himself and he could practically sleep anywhere like he proved in the past couple of weeks, despite the discomfort. He made it by himself just fine, like he did when his grandpa died and he was left all alone. In his entire life though, Goku only had a few things that were his and unfortunately, he lost even those, the Nimbus doesn't want him anymore, his power pole is still safely jammed between Kami's lookout and Korin's tower and his grandpa's dragonball... Well that turned out to be never his to begin with, even the clothes on his back were just given to him

And now he had a house that was all his and was built with his money, money that he earned with blood and sweat and Goku couldn't help but feel damn proud of himself. A content smile graced his handsome features as he imagined himself living there, he might have thought that a big house was unnecessary, but Chichi convinced him with her future planning about having kids. The idea of kids running around the house sounded pleasant, he could see himself playing with them, and training them and they'd come back home to find Chichi waiting for them with dinner on the table, and that sweet smile on her face. He grinned at the thought... His grin, though immediately faltered as he registered what he was thinking about, he mentally shook the thought out of his head. He's been spending way too much time with her and her delicious food.

Or maybe it was because he saw her wet and naked?

He plopped himself on the grass next to his friend, who was gazing at the sky with a contemplative look on her face ''why Vegeta?'' she asked suddenly. He blinked a few times in confusion ''what?! "

''I mean why was it him that set you off so bad? You said there were other guys that have been with your wife. So why him?'' she further explained.

Goku had one thought on his mind 'what brought this on? ' ''why would you ask that all of a sudden?'' he asked, his voice came out harsher than he wanted.

''just curious, that's all''

''you're weird!"

'' .. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to'' she waved her hands dismissively.

He shrugged ''it's okay, I don't mind talking to you about it, I just wasn't expecting such a question'' and he didn't, talking to Chichi was alot easier than anyone else, she'd listen and he trusted her not to tell anyone, he was glad to have her as a friend and he felt safe to confide within her. With a sigh, the earth raised Saiyan began ''I don't know... I guess I thought him and I can be friends one day, being the last of our race and all...'' Red flags popped up in Chichi's head, the last of their race?

Goku continued ''... Before Frieza killed him, he cried about the loss of our kind and what he's been forced to become, I thought I understood him back then, you know? I thought I felt his pain and I hoped one day we can sit down and settle our differences because despite all, I thought we were similar and I knew he could be good one day ...but I guess the bastard never got over the fact that I beat his ass and became a super Saiyan and he didn't.. I didn't care about the other as much, because I didn't know who he was but what Vegeta did, I felt like it was a personal jab against me, you know?''

Chichi nodded as she processed what he said but her mind raised other red flags, super Saiyan? Well she understood the super part but... ''what the hell is a Saiyan?'' she asked with a flabbergasted expression as she probed herself with her elbows on the grassy ground. Goku mentally cringed, he totally forgot he didn't tell her about his alien descent, he Chuckled nervously '' hehe, you know ... Handsome devils with tails... From another planet'' he explained awkwardly, watching her reaction intently.

''Oh I see'' Chichi started before his words sank in ''WHAT? YOU'RE AN ALIEN?'' she shrieked loudly, eyes bugged out and jaw wide open.

Goku winced at the high volume of her voice, resisting the urge to cover his ears, he nodded. Chichi just sat there stunned, she would never have guessed, he looked so human, no one else would have. now that Goku mentioned it though, he did have a tail, didn't he? And that monstrous strength, if what he told her was true (and she knew Goku wasn't a liar) about those aliens who blew up a whole city and that Frieza monster, who blew an entire planet and Goku beat those guys, plus what she witnessed for herself, suddenly the news about him being an alien wasn't so strange ''heh, I suppose it explains the tail and the ridiculous strength" she nodded understandably to her self.

Goku was relieved that Chichi took the revelation rather well, even better than he hoped.

''what happened to your tail, by the way?"she asked curiously.

"Kami cut it out for me, apparently it has something to do with me turning into a giant ape on the full moon'' he answered with a small laugh like it was no big deal, he thought Chichi is about ready now to know all his secrets.

Chichi gave another bewildered expression ''wow! You're ... I don't know what you are, is there something else you're not telling me?" she asked skepticaly and sat fully on the grass. Goku did the same, folding his legs in a meditative position "well... Remember that guy I told you about who came looking for me and threatened to destroy the earth if I didn't join him?'' she nodded.

''yeah, that was my brother''

''your brother!?'' she exclaimed in disbelief ''why didn't you tell me all this before?'' she asked suspiciously with a raised eyebrow, she wasn't sure why Goku would refrain from telling her about his alien heritage.

Goku lowered his chin and fixed his eyes on his now fiddling thumbs, while his hands laid comfortably in his lap ''I- I didn't want you to think that ... I was a monster'' he replied hesitantly. Chichi was slightly taken back by this, but judging by his tone, it was painfully obvious that his hesitation and hiding the truth about himself has something to do with a bad experience he's been through. She placed her hand on his forearm, gently rubbing it in a friendly manner ''Oh, Goku, you don't have to be an alien for me to think you're a monster ... I kinda already do!" she winked and stuck her tongue out in an attempt to lighten the mood.

Goku chuckled and his heart suddenly warmed, for some weird reason, He was happy Chichi accepted him as a monster, even though she was joking "Oh!? So you're okay with me being a monster?" he asked playfully with a raised brow.

''just refrain from destroying the earth'' she answered with equally playful tone.

''Oh, Chi, I would never destroy anything you're in it" he stated truthfully. Chichi blushed at the flattery and quickly tried to change the subject "so what's with all that super Saiyan business"

He grinned "how about I show you?" he stood up and warned"you might wanna take a step back"

The Ox princess followed through as she stood up and backed away. She watched in suspense as Goku took a deep breath, he lowered his head slightly in what seemed to be concentration, his eyebrows lowered, his hair wavered to a blonde colour, his eyes turned to a brilliant teal, his muscles bulged under his loose clothes and his usually baby face features turned serious.

Her eyebrows raised in fascination, she would never have thought she'd see something like this, he just suddenly changed his colors and he looked powerful and if she ever dared to admit to anyone, he looked beautiful and its slightly affecting her... Well maybe not slightly. Chichi couldn't hide the blush on her face even if she wanted to. If she thought he looked incredibly handsome in his normal look, this was like bringing his looks to a whole new level.

''So, what do you think?" he asked, smirking, his voice was deeper and huskier and it brought her out of her trance with a pleasant yet unwanted shiver down her spine. Maybe he knew how this was effecting her, and by the life of her, she would never confirm it for him. Chichi just said the first thing that popped up in her mind

''you look like a blonde hair delinquent!" she had absolutely no idea where that come from as she stood there pointing her finger accusingly, flabbergasted and blushing profusely in embarrassment, a delinquent? A delinquent? Why a delinquent? Well technically that's not too far from the truth. Geeze she must've looked ridiculous by now.

''a d-delinquent?'' he stammered in shock before he burst into laughter, yep she did looked ridiculous, calling him a delinquent like her life dependent on it. Chichi has never seen him laugh so hard, though, he was clutching his sides and she couldn't help but laugh along with him.

After a few good minutes of laughter, Goku was finally able to catch his breath, a wicked idea popped up in his mind, though he didn't mind her calling him 'names' he was definitely going to exploit her for it, he smirked ''you know, Chichi, it's not wise to insult a super Saiyan''

Chichi rolled her eyes dramatically ''Oh, please! Dose that trick of yours even do anything other than change your colors?''

His eyes widened and mouth open in false shock, then shook his head in fake disappointment "you have so much so learn, Chichi. If you only knew what this super Saiyan can do'' he got closer to the now slightly worried girl but she would neve show it though "and trust me you do not want to know, so be a good girl and apologize with a large sized chocolate cake, then I just might forgive you"

Was he threatening her? He was, wasn't he? You'd think after all this time he'd spent with her, he knows what the Ox princess was like, he seemed to need a reminder of how fearless she can be. She turned to face him with the most defiant look she can muster ''you don't scare me, Mister, I won't apologize, and I'm not making you anything and you can't force me'' she 'humphed' and flared her nose at him. Goku's smirk deepened ''okay!" that was all he said before he swept her off the ground and flew her high enough to touch the clouds.

Chichi had no idea what the hell just happened? One minute she was on sold ground and the next she was surrounded by blue.

''I wouldn't look down if I were you" and against her better judgment, Chichi did. She gasped and instinctively clutched to him for dear life ''Goku, you ass, put me down!" she shrieked loudly.

Goku chuckled ''now, now, is that away for a proper princess to speak?" he taunted with a smirk. Chichi glared like her life depended, which in this case it actually did. Goku paid absolutely no heed which only served to fan the princess's flame.

''now, Chi, all you have to do, is apologize and promise to make me a chocolate cake and you'll find yourself on solid ground'' he bargained.

''never!" she screamed.

''fine, it's your funeral'' he retracted his energy and allowed gravity to take its course as he descended towards the ground in high speed. Chichi could feel herself floating up out of his grasp, she wrapped her arms around his neck so tight, if Goku was a normal man he would have been choking, she squinted her eyes and screamed in his neck as loud as she can, Goku was sure his ears were bleeding.

Then he abruptly stopped in mid air, ignoring the ringing in his ears as Chichi screams turned to harsh panting "I can go higher and free fall faster, you know...'' he taunted in a low voice. Chichi looked at the still smirking man with a frightened gaze, it was like one those rides in the amusement park, except this is even worse and she hated those rides.

''you know what to do" he told her as he slowly ascended towards the sky. Chichi panicked, she did not wanna go through that again ''ok, ok, ok, I'm sorry!" she frantically stated. He stopped again and asked ''and?" his eyebrow was raised expectantly.

''I promise I'll make you a chocolate cake''

''now was that so hard? "

''just put me down!" she exclaimed angrily. Goku did as so and once again Chichi found herself wrapping her arms around his neck and burying her head in the crook of his neck. Goku couldn't help the smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Having her in his arms like this was just pleasant.

The minute Goku touched down on the grass, he gently placed the girl in his arms on the ground. Chichi's legs felt weak and she unceremoniously flopped down, heart pounding and panting heavily, her breathing came out as harsh pants. That was an experience, Chichi did not want to repeat. She felt both relief and anger and the laughter of the moron behind her was making one certain emotion greater than the other. She turned and glared murderous intent, though the once again black haired man, didn't stop. Gritting her teeth, she got up and stomped those few steps till she reached, grasping his collar with both hands ''WERE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME, YOU SICK ASSHOLE?'' she seethed.

''Chill, you know I wouldn't have dropped you!" he said between laughs.

''I could have died of a heart attack'' she recoiled.

''I doubt it, besides what's the big deal, you ride the Nimbus all the time!"

''I trust the Nimbus, I don't trust you!" she states haughtily. Goku feigned shock then hurt, placing his palm on his supposedly aching heart ''ouch, Chi, I'm deeply hurt now''

He playfully pouted, though it did not have the desired effect on the seething girl. He grinned which only caused Chichi to ground her teeth together ''what's. So. Funny?'' she growled.

''you just look so cute when you're angry'' he answered truthfuly. Chichi felt a huge portion of her anger melt away, she didn't like it, not one bit, she wanted to be angry at him for longer. While Chichi was trying to suppress the blush and think of a witty retaliation, Goku surprised her by gently grasping her shoulders. It happened so quick, Chichi barely registered when his firm lips were planted softly on her smooth cheek. She watched him, stunned with his goofy grin still plastered on his handsome face, too confused to figure out what to make of it. She must've been blushing scarlet if she can feel her face burning. His grin slowly receded to a warm smile, his dark eyes were fixed on her face ''thank you!" he soke softly ''I haven't laughed like that in a while'' he stated appreciatively. With her hands still clutching the fabric of his clothes, Chichi felt all her anger for the man dissipate just like that. She doesn't have to think of what to make of the gesture, it was obviously Platonic and soon enough her lips stretched into a smile that easily matched his. She was about to say something if it wasn't for the all too familiar, intrusive voice she heard ''Chichi!?''

Chichi turned to face the man and the first thing she did was step away from Goku '' A-Arian!" she stuttered nervously ''what're you doing here?'' she asked, mortified about the situation she was found in and hoping he wouldn't take the wrong idea about.

''your father said I'd find you here. I was hoping we can have lunch together!" he smiled. Chichi mentally sighed with relief that he didn't take the wrong idea, at least he didn't seem like he did.

''who's this?'' he asked pointing at the now curious man beside his fiancée.

''Oh! This is Goku, the friend I told you about!" she gestured with her hands towards him.

Goku smiled as the brown haired man extended his hand and Goku shook it ''Hi!"

''it's nice to finally meet you, Chichi talks alot about you!"

''Oh really? Good things I hope!'' Goku chirped, he was sure it was all good things, he hoped it was. He smiled good-heartily at the man.

''Oh yes, all good. Im Arian, Chichi's fiance!" he introduced himself. Goku blinked a few times, his earlier pleasant mood shifted into an awkward one, the smile that was still gracing his lips, somehow turned eerie and his grip on the other man's hand involuntarily tightened ''fiance, huh?''
