Time For A Party
It was Friday, the day of Goku's algebra exam. He happily submitted the test to Mr. Popo, for the first time confident that he did not fail. At lunch, Goku told everyone that he was sure he was passing again, and Bulma was happy for him, while the guys breathed a sigh of relief that Goku wasn't going to be kicked off his teams. ChiChi beamed with pride, and Goku pulled her into his lap for a big hug, telling her thanks for her help. ChiChi blushed, as everyone at the table stared at them in shock and even a few other people in the cafeteria were watching them. As many girls as there have been getting close to Goku, no one had ever seen him make a move like that before. Some girls were glaring at ChiChi with jealousy, which made her angry.
Goku paid no attention to any of it. He turned to his friends at the table and said, "Did you know ChiChi is a martial artist? She's good too."
ChiChi felt her cheeks burning and couldn't imagine she'd be blushing more than she already was. She slapped Goku's chest and said playfully, "Gokuuu!" in an attempt to get him to stop embarrassing her.
Bulma chuckled at the display. "Hey! Why don't we celebrate by throwing a party tomorrow night?" she suggested.
"Sure! We haven't had a party in a while." Goku said excitedly. "Raditz will help too." Bulma and Goku made plans like they had done many times before, and everyone else started spreading the word around the school.
At biology, Bulma talked ChiChi into coming to her house to get ready for the party. ChiChi knew this party would be the perfect opportunity to win Goku over, so she agreed, knowing Bulma's fashion sense would be helpful for her to look her best that night. Juuhachi and Lunch would be coming over as well, so the girls could all show up together.
The night of the party, Goku and Raditz had set out all the food and booze Bulma had provided, having gotten dressed earlier. Goku was wearing some distressed lightwash jeans, combat boots, a white t-shirt with a casual belt, and a navy blue leather bomber jacket. Raditz wore leather pants, black shoes, and a black long-sleeve t-shirt. Goku was excited for the party to get started. He and Raditz picked up a drink and toasted to each other when the setup was finished. After a couple shots, they heard honking and saw Bulma pulling up to the house with ChiChi, Lunch, and Juuhachi (who promised to be the designated driver). Bulma wore a red mini skirt and low cut gray sequined t-shirt with silver ballet flats, her hair in her usual stylish short cut. ChiChi wore a purple, backless, form-fitting long sleeved dress that cut at mid-thigh with black ballet flats, her beautiful black hair pulled up tight in a high ponytail with only her bangs hanging in front of her face. Juuhachi wore skinny jeans with sleek heeled boots, and a cropped blue shirt which bore her midriff. Lunch wore a pink a-line dress with heels and her dark blue hair cascaded down her back.
When they stepped out of the car, Raditz gawked at all of them. But Goku couldn't take his eyes off ChiChi. He had never seen her look so sexy. The girls approached and Bulma made an appraisal of how the guys did setting up while the other girls all ogled at the amazing scene of the lake lit by the moonlight and a few lanterns and tiki torches Goku and Raditz had set up. It was really scenic for a high school party. Goku was quick to offer ChiChi a drink and she took a shot. The other girls looked offended for a moment that he hadn't offered them a drink, but Raditz was quick to step in and serve the other girls.
Two more cars showed up, and little by little the party got busy. The music was blasting, everyone was drinking and dancing, having fun, until the drama started. First there was a fight between Bulma and Yamcha, which didn't last long because they were already on a break. Then a guy had tried to grab Juuhachi's ass and she punched him in the face before Krillin even had a chance to react. Then Vegeta showed up with Nappa. He and Goku eyeballed each other, but Goku wasn't looking for a fight tonight. Vegeta and Nappa took a few shots, then started making their way to Goku and Raditz. Bulma, also not wanting the party to be ruined, stepped in front of Vegeta and tried to distract him from whatever he was planning. Maron grabbed Nappa and quickly got his attention, leaving Vegeta on his own. But Vegeta was more persistent. He pushed Bulma aside and managed to approach Goku.
"Kakarot, I want a rematch. There was no clear winner from our fight." He told Goku, clearly looking for his rematch right there and then.
"Fine, but not now, Vegeta. I'm kinda hosting this party. Let's do it tomorrow." Goku countered. He knew Vegeta wouldn't let this rest easily. "Hey, Bulma! Show Vegeta some dance moves!" Goku yelled, knowing Bulma was interested in Vegeta, and when Vegeta looked where Bulma was, it was a long enough distraction for Goku to slip out of his sight with ChiChi by the hand as he led her to his favorite place around his old house. Major tension had been building since Vegeta arrived, and he was pretty pissed that he lost sight of Kakarot, but shrugged it off when Bulma started shaking her hips and grinding against him. He decided this was much more satisfying than chasing after Kakarot.
Goku's favorite place was a secluded area right behind a waterfall by his lake. ChiChi was amazed at how beautiful and secluded this spot was. She sat down anxiously next to Goku on a soft mossy spot, wondering why he was bringing her here. They continued drinking together and talked for a while, really enjoying each other's company, and ChiChi's anxiety quickly dissipated. They talked about martial arts, food, the party and their new classmates, having lots of laughs. They both started feeling the effects of the alcohol, and losing all inhibitions, ChiChi leaned into Goku and sprawled across his lap, looking up at him and laughing. Goku couldn't believe how beautiful she looked and following her lead, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her up to him for a kiss. It was deeper than any kiss they shared before. She loved when he kissed her, and did not want him to stop. But nevertheless, she did stop him, knowing what she had to do.
ChiChi gave Goku a threatening look, to his surprise, and told him that she wanted him to get serious. He laughed at this and kissed her again, then started kissing her neck and whispered huskily into her ear, "I am serious." That sent shivers down ChiChi's spine, but she still persisted.
"No, I mean I need you to promise me you'll be my boyfriend." She said while kissing his neck and rubbing his chest.
"Promise?" Goku asked, feeling the pressure to just give her what she wants, but he was conflicted because he still didn't want a girlfriend.
"Yes, I can't do this if you don't." ChiChi told him. For a moment, Goku paused as ChiChi continued kissing him while he made his decision.
"Okay". Goku sighed as he kissed her and leaned on top of her.
ChiChi smiled, then looked suspicious that maybe he was going to forget his promise after tonight. "You really promise? You'll make me your girlfriend?" She asked, pulling away and narrowing her eyes at him.
"Mmm-hmm." Goku said as he pulled her back into him to kiss her neck and start fondling her breast. ChiChi moaned and accepted his answer. They spent the rest of the evening making out until the party died down and nearly everyone had gone home. They decided then that it was time to go, and they left their private spot only to find nearly everyone gone, a huge mess left behind, and Bulma and Vegeta making out under a tree. Goku laughed.
"Bulma and Vegeta?!" He mocked them, and Vegeta turned around upon hearing him, blushing fiercely with a scowl. Bulma smiled and pulled Vegeta in for another kiss, feeling she had nothing to hide. She eventually said goodbye to him, as the other girls were ready to leave. Lunch and Juuhachi's dates had already gone home. Goku gave ChiChi one last kiss goodnight and headed back to meet with Raditz.
Vegeta approached him in a drunken state and said, "Tomorrow, Kakarot." Rudely poking his finger into Goku's chest, "Meet me here at 2:00, and we'll find out who's the best."
"Fine, Vegeta, whatever you say." Said Goku, turning away and waving Vegeta away over his shoulder. Riding home, Goku thought about the upcoming fight with Vegeta and smirked. He was feeling pretty cocky, as was Vegeta, but of course the alcohol was adding to their arrogance. It would be a whole different story in the morning.
Just about everyone who was at the party were sleeping in and avoiding feeling the pain that was due to set in as soon as they started moving the following morning. In addition to the physical punishment of the night they had had, many also had parents on their case who had noticed how late they stayed out last night. Goku was no exception to this.
"Raditz! Kakarot!" Bardock bellowed at 8am, waking the boys much too early for their liking. "Did you honestly think I wouldn't notice how late you were out last night? Look at you two, you're hungover." Bardock growled, sounding disgusted with his sons' behavior. "I just hope you didn't do something stupid last night!"
Raditz groaned and covered his eyes as he spoke to his father, "Don't be surprised if some girl's dad shows up at the door ready to kill me" Raditz suggested dryly with a smile.
"I'm glad you think this is funny!" Yelled Bardock.
"Dad, can you please keep it down?" Asked Goku. "I really need my rest right now, I'm supposed to be fighting this guy at 2:00."
"Kakarot, you're not going anywhere today!" Bardock continued to yell. "You're both staying home and cleaning the house today and no visitors!" Bardock slammed the door and left, and Goku and Raditz groaned, both rubbing their heads from the pain after that door slamming.
"Y'shouldn't've told him about the fight, idiot. Now he'll be watching you. How do you think you can possibly get there?" Raditz told Goku.
"Beats me." Goku said, wanting to roll over and fall back asleep.
"If you don't show," Raditz warned, "Vegeta will call you out as a coward…either that or he'll be extremely pissed."
"Ugh, I don't care, Raditz. Let him be pissed. I'm going back to sleep!" And Goku threw a pillow over his head and rolled over with a groan. Hours later, he awoke to hear pounding on his door.
"Get out here right now, Kakarot!" He heard bellowed from the other side of his rattling door. He rolled on his back and stretched, feeling much better than the last time he woke up.
"Vegeta?" He questioned with a yawn as he recognized the voice.
"Yes, you idiot! You've got some nerve not showing up for our fight!" Vegeta yelled furiously.
Goku opened the door, rolling his shoulders and cracking his neck. In a friendly, yet confident tone, he said, "You're here now, let's go outside." Vegeta stepped back with an incredulous look on his face, which then turned back to anger.
"You're not getting off that easy, Kakarot!" Vegeta growled and punched a hole in the wall.
"Hey!" Goku yelled. "What the hell, Vegeta?! We need to fight outside…and against each other, not my house! Now I'm going to have to fix that before Dad gets home, I'm in enough trouble as it is." Goku complained as he inspected the hole Vegeta had just made.
"Because of the party that you threw. Enough complaining, get out here and fight me already!" Vegeta said as he made his way to the backyard and turned in a fighting stance.
Raditz had called a few friends when Vegeta showed up, who arrived just in time to witness most of the fight. Goku was having fun, Vegeta was a really great fighter and he loved the challenge. They exchanged punches and kicks, staying pretty even in the fight. They didn't even notice Bulma had shown up and came marching out to the field where they were fighting, waving her arms and yelling at them. They were so caught up in the fight that Goku took a swing at Vegeta who stumbled backwards into Bulma, knocking her down and falling on top of her.
"Oh, hi, Bulma!" Goku said, standing over them as they lay on the ground tangled together. Bulma was fuming and pushed Vegeta off of her, while everyone else there snickered at their situation.
"How about 'sorry Bulma'? That would be nice, Goku! And you, Vegeta, what are you thinking coming here to fight Goku? If his father finds you out here doing this you know he'll be in trouble." Bulma scolded.
"Then it's a win-win for me, isn't it? Now get out of the way, woman!" Vegeta yelled, falling back into a stance.
"Hold it!" Bulma yelled, stepping in front of him with her hands up. "I'm sure Goku's dad must know your dad since you and Raditz have been friends for a while. You don't think he'll call your dad about this?" Bulma said with a sly look. Vegeta contemplated what Bulma had said, debating with himself whether the risk was worth continuing the fight.
"Where'd Kakarot go?" Asked Raditz, looking around. Everyone had been watching Bulma and Vegeta, but Goku, at the mention of his father coming home, ran inside remembering he needed to fix that hole in the wall. Raditz checked his watch. "Shit! Everyone, get out of here! My dad should be home in ten minutes!"
Vegeta and Bulma were arguing in the yard, until Raditz pushed them to their cars to go home. Just as they pulled away, Bardock's car pulled up around the corner. Raditz breathed a sigh of relief and hurried inside to check if Kakarot had straightened things up inside. To his disappointment, he found that Kakarot's idea of covering the hole was hanging an eyesore of a poster over it.
"Kakarot, you moron, Dad's going to know something is wrong with the wall!" Raditz yelled as he tore down the poster.
"Hey, Raditz! I didn't have time to fix the hole, what else do you expect me to do?" Goku whined.
Then Bardock walked in, seeing his two sons fighting in the hall.
"You idiot!" Raditz yelled again, and Goku, thinking quickly, surprised Raditz by punching him. He found a way to explain that hole in the wall without his dad knowing about their guests. However, he did not account for Raditz not catching on to the plan. Enraged at being hit for no reason, Raditz kneed Goku in the gut as hard as he could, knocking him to his knees. Bardock stepped in and broke up the fight, and though it cost them some pain, Raditz and Goku did manage to avoid any questioning from Bardock, as he attributed the hole in the wall to being caused by the fight between the brothers.
