"Talking"

'Thinking'

Flashback

(Me!)

I hope y'all enjoy this! Have fun!


Chi-Chi walked around the castle's garden thinking. She had many things to think of. Mainly of a monkey-tailed earth-raised alien member of an almost-extinguish warrior race that she chose as her fiancée. Her mind was still processing the fact he was an alien. I mean, all her life she had thought he was just a kid with a monkey tail and super strength, but nothing else.

She thought about what Goku told her and her father. His life…wasn't the happiest at all. She'd noticed Goku did not trust people he just met immediately. They had to be friends of his friends or prove they were good people to gain his 100% trust, and Chi-Chi thought he had reasons. After that 'Frieza' guy destroying his planet after they served him and worked for him…

Chi-Chi looked down. How could someone do that? She never thought someone could be so evil! She remembered something Goku told her after they left from her father's room.

.oO0Oo.

Goku and Chi-Chi walked quietly out of the room Goku told all. Chi-Chi was still coping with what he had said to her.

"Seems evil is everywhere huh?" he asked suddenly, breaking the silence.

""Huh?" Chi-Chi asked not quite getting the point. "Why?"

""Well, think 'bout my life. First, Frieza. I escaped and got here, ended up bein' raised by an ol' man I called my 'grandpa' and made som' new friends while searchin' the Dragon Balls, thinkin' I was safe from evil. I was wrong. Pilaf appeared. Then the Red Ribbon Army. Then Master Shen, Tien's and Chiaotzu's ex-master, they left 'im after discoverin' his true evil ways. Then King Piccolo. Afterwards, Piccolo Jr. And I'm sure there will be more."

"What?" Chi-Chi asked shocked and horrified.

Goku nodded sadly. "There will always be more. Maybe there's no more threats to Earth, except for Piccolo even though I'm stronger than him so it's not so dangerous. But there will always be evil out there, if not on Earth, in outer space…like Frieza."

"Y-You're…r-right!" Chi-Chi admitted getting a bit scared.

"They may cause destruction." Goku smiled. "And that's why were 'ere. Me an' my friends will prevent that from happenin'! We're the Earth's Special Forces: The Z-Fighters! We'll protect Earth! Doesn't matter if the bad guys are aliens like me and Kami, we'll stop 'em! When the time comes and another threat appears, and it will, we'll be ready!"

.oO0Oo.

He was right. There was evil everywhere, in Earth and in outer space. Goku and his friends had made it up to them to protect this blue planet, and Chi-Chi was glad for it. But…Goku was her fiancée and the thing she less wanted is to see him get hurt, or worse, killed!

He already made it clear that he'll sacrifice himself to protect this planet he was bounded to. He wasn't born here, but he was raised here. He had his friends here. He lost his family and planet and it was obvious he didn't want that to happen again to this planet too.

She had dreamed of her ruling along him her kingdom. Having kids and being a happy family. But the fact he was born on another planet and he was a member of the team that protected Earth—wait, the leader of the team that protects Earth made her dream almost unreal. She didn't even know if he wanted to be a king or not! Besides, he already left crystal-clear that he'll sacrifice for the Earth if needed, and same goes for his friends…

His friends…

She already knew how Goku met them, and hanged around with them a bit, but nothing else! She wanted to be friends with them too! They seemed so damn important for Goku. They all meant good Chi-Chi noticed, of course they did! They are Z-Fighters too after all!

She wanted to know about them. She noticed Goku was lying on a bench sleeping. She decided she'll go ask him, they were his friends after all!

"Goku." She said moving the saiyan a bit to wake him up. "Goku!" she said louder and moved him more. She didn't success. "Oh man! This man sure sleeps heavily! But I bet that if it was lunch time he wouldn't be sleep—"

"Lunch?!" Goku asked awaking instantly.

"You have to be joking…" Chi-Chi said.

"Huh? Chi?" he asked after glazing around, and noticing there was no lunch, much to his dismay. "'Sup?"

"Oh nothing. I just wanted to ask you a few things."

Goku face faulted. She wanted him to answer more?! He already told her his entire past for goodness' sakes!

"Shoot."

"I want you tell me about your friends. You know. Their ages, their personalities, things like that…" she answered blushing a bit.

"Wha?! Why?" Goku asked. "Isn't that a lil' bit stalker?"

"Yes, well…" Chi-Chi blushed some more at his comment. "I want to know more of them…because I want them to be my friends too…"

"Oh." Goku understood. "Then why don't you go and ask 'em yourself? They're not gonna bite ya."

"I…" Chi-Chi started to say. That was true but she didn't have the…courage…to ask them herself. "I prefer you tell me…"

"Uhm…" Goku started. He didn't understand why she preferred him to tell her about them but…oh, what the heck! She's his soon-to-be mate! "Fine."

"Awesome!" Chi-Chi exclaimed happily and sit beside him.

"'Kay, first, Bulma." Goku started. "The 22 years old turquoise-haired gal. She's like an older sister to me. She's…well…She's kinda tomboyish. She loves havin' adventures, just like I do, but she still cares of her looks an' all. She's Dr. Briefs' daughter an' the heiress of Capsule Corp."

"Really?!" Chi-Chi asked in disbelief. "She's the heiress of Capsule Corporation?!"

Goku nodded. "That's right. She's pretty intelligent; I'll say she's the most intelligent person in the world. Her ability to build the Dragon Radar and understand the mechanism of my Scouter tells me that. But also, she's kinda…um…well…flirtatious."

"Flirtatious?"

Goku nodded again. "When Bulma was single she used to flirt with almost every good-lookin' guy 'round an' always used her looks to get what she wanted, she still does but to som' extent, she have a boyfriend after all. She even tried to seduce me once, when we first met so I'd give her my Dragon Ball. She failed." Goku snickered remembering that time.

"She failed?" Chi-Chi asked, with hint of disbelief and jealousness in her voice. "You're sure?"

"Yup." Goku laughed when she noticed her jealousness. "Hey! Don't worry, Chi! That happened like 7 years ago! An' I already told ya, she failed! I didn't give a damn! She's like an older sister to me and I'm like a little brother to her! Totally platonic! 'Sides, she have Yamcha! An' I have ya…"

Chi-Chi blushed a little bit.

"Let's move one, y'wanna?" Goku asked smirking. "Krillin." He said and gained her attention. "My best friend. He's a year older than me. I'm 18, he's 19. We met when I was goin' to train with Master Roshi. We both trained under him. At first we were rivals. He kinda hated me! He always wanted to be one step ahead of me. Even though it was the other way 'round. I played along with the 'rivals' thing, but I really wasn't that interested on havin' a rival. As time passed the rivalry disappeared and we became inseparable. We went on adventures together an' had loads of fun. When he was murdered, I made my personal objective to avenge 'im an' afterwards bring 'im back to life, an' I did!"

"Wow." Was all Chi-Chi was able to say.

"Uh-huh." Goku agreed. "Yamcha." He continued.

"The one that told me he loved me." Chi-Chi remembered.

"He only did that to prevent ya from hurtin' 'im, y'know?" Goku stated. "He's Bulma's boyfriend. 22 years of age. He's an ex-bandit. Along Puar he attacked the people that came to the dessert and mugged 'em. He was an enemy of us at first, but then he became our friend. He used to…well…be scared of girls…" Goku chuckled.

"Be scared of girls?!" Chi-Chi asked and laughed.

"Yeah, I know, it's funny." Goku agreed. "He lost his fear shortly before he started his relationship with Bulma. Actually, he's a bit of a flirt now, and many gals seemed to like 'im, but forgetting all that he's still a good boyfriend. At least that's what Bulma told me." Chi-Chi giggled a bit. "He's a martial artist like me an' he was also trained by Master Roshi. He's one of the strongest humans 'round. Ya wouldn't like to mess with him. He was my very first fightin' ally in this planet. He told us he has an interest on playin' baseball to make som' money instead of havin' Bulma or anyone else supportin' 'im economically. It's weird though 'cuz I swear I can't imagine Yamcha with a bat playin' for a professional team in a field!" Goku laughed, Chi-Chi giggled also.

"Oolong." Goku continued. "He's a shape-shifting perverted pig."

"Shape-shifting?"

"That's right. He went to a shape-shifting school, and was the bully on it, at least that's what Puar said. He can change shape willingly. Although only for 5 minutes and then he'll need one to recharge. He was kicked out from that school before he could learn the technique well."

"Why?"

"'Cuz bein' the pervert he is an' havin' that weird habit of collectin' girls' panties he tried to get the teacher's panties."

"What?!" Chi-Chi asked in disgust. "He's such a pervert! And I thought Master Roshi was one."

"Oh, Master Roshi's worst I tell ya! Oolong's not a half as bad as him." Goku told her. "Well, Oolong's a coward. He hates danger and almost always runs away. But he's still a Z-Fighters and believe it or not it is thanks to him the world is not ruled by Pilaf right now."

"Puar." He continued. "The little flyin' cat. He's Yamcha's best friend and loyal companion. He's is also a shape-shifter like Oolong. The difference is that he did end the year and he can change shape without time limit. He stated he was bullied by Oolong back in school and they had a rivalry for some time. But just like me and Krillin as time passed they became really good friends and their rivalry was totally forgotten."

"Master Roshi" he continued. "The ol' master that thought me, your father, my grandpa, Krillin an' Yamcha. He's really strong for a human, but I'm stronger. Same for Krillin, Yamcha, Tien and Chiaotzu. He's a wise man, but he's also goofy and the most perverted person ya can meet in the whole world. He spends his time readin' his porno magazines…" Goku sighted. "He really embarrasses me sometimes, I swear!"

"I bet he does." Chi-Chi agreed with a frown.

"Turtle." Goku continued. "Master Roshi's 'pet'. He's like a thousand years old. He's wise and he's also very embarrassed by Master Roshi's pervy actions. Due of 'im bein' a Turtle he's pretty slow an' heavy when movin'. When I met him he was lost. He had been away from the sea for over a year. I wanted to take him to the sea so I could see what it was like. In my planet there was no sea, rivers, but not seas. Heck! There were two suns in that place for goodness' sakes! Bulma disagreed to take the old Turtle but she came along anyways. We met Master Roshi, he gave me Nimbus and you know how Bulma convinced him to give us the Dragon Ball. When I told her it had been good my idea of takin' Turtle back to the sea she stated it was just 'coincidence'. Yeah, right!"

"Launch." He continued. "The personality-switcher. She's a 22 years old gal. We call her blue-haired persona the 'Good' Launch and her blonde-haired persona as 'Bad' Launch. She's a tomboy. In her bad form she is more tomboyish though. She's a master thief. At first she was in war with herself. Her good half didn't agree with her bad one. When she met us her personas started acceptin' one another. Her good form loves to cook and likes things to be clean. Her bad form loves guns and commitin' crimes. She means good anyways. She has a crush on Tien."

"You sure? Which of them likes Tien?" Chi-Chi asked.

"Both." Goku answered. "They're the same person Chi. They have the same feelings."

Chi-Chi nodded a little dumbfounded. It was hard to believe two so different personas where the same person.

…That sounded weird…

"Tien Shinhan." Goku continued. "The three eyed man. The same man Launch likes. Sometimes I think he likes her too, y'know? He's 22 years old. He's a former student of Master Shen, the crane hermit. He used to be a killer. He changed his ways when meetin' me an' the others. He is really powerful. And his third eye sure gives him an advantage. His best friend is Chiaotzu."

"The clown-like kid?" Chi-Chi asked.

"Yup. Chiaotzu." He continued. "Tien's best friend. He's human, if that's what your wonderin'. He's 17 years old. He comes from a military family (or at least that what I read). When bein' trained hard by Shen an' his brother Mercenary Tao he became Tien's best friend. He's physic, can use telekinesis and talk telepathically, he always does that with Tien and vice-versa."

"Yajirobe." Goku continued. "He's a 21 years old (I think) guy I met when I was lookin' for Krillin's killer. He actually saved me from dying after killin' King Piccolo!" he laughed. Chi-Chi looked at him horrified. "We didn't have a good start. We weren't friends. I followed him 'cuz he had a Dragon Ball, he just wanted me to live him alone. When some King Piccolo's warrior appeared he won our Rock-Paper-Siccors game a killed it, then eated him. He witnessed how I killed Krillin's killer. When King Piccolo appeared he left me on my own. He was concerned 'bout me afterwards, I still remember how his face lit up when he noticed I was still alive. We went to Korin's Tower together and he climbed it while carryin' me, 'cuz I was in no condition to climb it. He witnessed how I drank the 'Ultra Devine Water'. It made someone feel like he was dyin' inside, Yajirobe cheered for me and told me that I could fight it. He then caught me when I fell after killin' Piccolo an' took me to Korin's so I coulda get a Senzu."

"Senzu?" Chi-Chi asked. "You mean those beans?"

"Yup." Goku nodded. "Korin." He continued. "Ya don't know 'im, but your father had heard of 'im. He's an ol' cat that trained Master Roshi an' me. He has in his possession the 'Sacred Water'" 'that is nothing more than normal water mind you' Goku thought, "and the 'Ultra Devine Water'. He's pretty wise. Yajirobe lives with 'im."

"So that's what he meant by 'taking a break from that talking cat'!" Chi-Chi realized.

"Uh-huh." Goku agreed. "Kami." He said. "Ya met 'im, an' I think ya know enough of him. He's a namek, Piccolo's good half and is the guardian of Earth."

Chi-Chi nodded.

"'Kay, and there's also Mr. Popo."

"Mr. Popo?" Chi-Chi asked. "Who's that?"

"A genie that has lived in the lookout way more years than Kami. He's the one who actually trained me in my three years in the lookout. He thought me many things like Ki sensing and more advanced ways on how to control it. He taught me how to use it to fly and to put more Ki to my attacks." He explained.

"Ki?" Chi-Chi asked.

Goku nodded. "Somethin' everyone has. It's like…the energy that flows in ya. If what you use to fly an' to perform attacks like a simple Ki-Blast or the Kame-Hame-Ha wave."

"Oh…" Chi-Chi said a little dumbfounded.

"Well, those are all my friends that are Z-Fighters." Goku told her. "If I told ya the friends I made that are not Z-Fighters I'll take the whole day. But guess I could tell ya 'bout Upa, Bora, Suno, Eighter 'n' Arale, after all they're like 'Z-Fighters' supporters'." He said more to himself than to her.

"Who?"

"Upa, Bora, Suno 'n' Eighter." Goku repeated. "Upa: a kid I met when the Red Ribbon Army was attacking. I saved him from one of RR helicopters. When Mercenary Tao came his father died tryin' to defend me. I promised I'll bring him back with the Dragon Balls. He helped us fight Baba's fighters. He once told me he wanted to be like me when he grew up. Now he must be…12? Wow. When I met him he was 5. I guess I could pay a lil' visit to 'em…Well what we were talkin' 'bout? Oh yeah. Bora: Upa's father. He died tryin' to protect him and we brought him back with the Dragon Balls. He's a strong, well-meaning man who is chief of the tribe that lives in the feet of Korin's tower. Suno: a gal that lives in the Jinger Village. She saved me from freezin' to death and let me stay in her home when the Red Ribbon Army came. She let Eighter live with her. Eighter: He's Red Ribbon Army's Android Number 8. He disliked violence and did not want to attack me when he was told so. They were 'bout to shut 'im down but I stopped it. We became friends an' I called 'im 'Eighter'. Easier 'Eighter' than Android #8, huh? He helped me fight the Red Ribbon in Junger Village and got engaged when he saw me get hurt. He lives with Suno. Arale: a very naïve gal I met from Penguin Village. She's always with her two friends 'the Gatchans'. I didn't spend so much time with her, but I'll never forget her, 'cuz I swear I never have seen a girl so damn strong and fast! I was perusing General Blue, the gayest man I've ever met (face it guys, he was gay xD) in the air but we both ended up falling. I fell right in front of her. She thought I was 'cool' and wanted to play with me but I didn't have time. I went after Blue and she followed me. She ran as fast as Nimbus! Blue got away and when I realized Bulma's Dragon Radar had broken –again- she told me some guy I don't remember well could fix it. We went in Nimbus, she and the Gatchans were pure of heart and could ride it. We met some of her friends and went to her house where the guy was. He fixed it but we noticed Blue was in the house. We looked for 'im and noticed he was hidin' on the fridge. He used his telekinesis to freeze me, but Arale head-butted him. I dunno how many miles she sent him flyin' but it was many. Then we said goodbye and left."

"Wow…" Chi-Chi said. "That's crazy!"

"But that's how it is." Goku told her. "Now you tell me."

"Huh?" She asked. "About what?"

"About your friends." Goku told her. "I already told you things about mine."

"Uh…Oh…yeah." Chi-Chi said, she wasn't expecting him to ask her about her friends. "I don't have many close friends as you do. Only two: Danielle and Rachel. They are princesses like me. They come from neighbor villages. They're both 19, like me. We met shortly after you left for the second time. We chat, go to balls, have fun, things like that." She told him, skipping the whole part that they didn't like the idea of them getting together for a promise (the title!).

"Oh." Goku said. "Ya don't know anyone else?"

Chi-Chi shock her head. "No…well…there is one… He's not my friend but I've known him for a long time too… His name is Bryan." Chi-Chi suddenly felt uncomfortable, she knew Bryan had a crush on her, but she didn't want to tell Goku, at least not yet. "He's a prince of a neighbor village. He's 20 years old, brown hair and eyes. He's polite and…dislikes fighting. He thinks it's dangerous."

"Sometimes." Goku agreed to an extent. "But not always. When sparin' with your friends is not dangerous at all."

"Yes. B-b-but…" Chi-Chi said looking down. "It was dangerous for you in the tournament. You almost died…" she said looking down with tears in her eyes.

Goku sighted, cheeked none of his friends were there –knowing that if one of his friends saw him do this a world of teasing will fall on him- and gathered Chi-Chi in his arms. "Chi…Don't worry, that's past. I've seen if not lived things worse than that."

"You have?" Chi-Chi asked looking at his face.

Goku nodded. "Yeah. Before comin' 'ere to Earth I saw many people die in front of my eyes. The most painful deaths ya can imagine."

"W-what?" Chi-Chi asked. "B-but, weren't you j-just 5 when you came here?!"

Goku nodded. "When workin' for Frieza, nice things do not really exist. My first 5 years of life I spend 'em either hopin' for a better life or helpin' my father, my mother or my brother in their missions when I could."

Chi-Chi stood there looking at him sadly. How she wished she could have done something to prevent Goku of having such a past, but he was right, what was past is past.

Goku suddenly released her. "Hey, come!" he exclaimed as he grabbed her hand and started running. "Flying Nimbus!" he called and his faithful cloud appeared, he scooped Chi-Chi to his arms and jumped to the cloud.

Chi-Chi managed to let out a little 'eek'.

"C'mon, let's go for a ride!" Goku told her, and they flew together. They flew above the seas, forests, deserts, mountains.

"This is beautiful!" Chi-Chi exclaimed as she watched down. They were flying above a lake located in the middle of the mountains that had many flowers around it.

"Ya like it?" Goku asked.

"Yes!" Chi-Chi exclaimed. "Thank you!"

"No prob." Goku told her. "You're my mate, aren'tcha?"

Chi-Chi giggled. "Goku." She said. "I love you." She told him.

Goku looked at her. How she looked at him. Oh man. She was so beautiful. For the first time in his life, he was going to say these words. He had never said them. Never. Not even to his father, mother, or brother. Not to his Grandpa. Not to his friends.

"…I love you too." He told her, and for the first time, they kissed.

.oO0Oo.

Goku, Chi-Chi and the Z-Fighters were lying in the castle's main hall doing nothing. Just talking and having a good time. Chi-Chi was having fun! These guys weren't half bad after all! She seemed to have gotten nervous for nothing.

Suddenly the castle's door flung open. Two women with wearing dressed came in running in like if they were escaping from Piccolo himself.

"Chi-Chi!" they called and ran to her as she went to fight Frieza by herself.

"Danielle! Rachel!" Chi-Chi exclaimed, she stood up and went over her friends.

"Chi-Chi!" Danielle greeted her. "How was the tournament?"

"Yes Chi!" Rachel kicked in. "Are you okay? Nothing bad happened? No injuries?" she asked worried as if going to the tournament was the most dangerous thing you could do.

The Z-Fighters looked at the scene frowning a little. It was obvious the two princesses hadn't noticed they were there, living blood and flesh.

"Calm down!" Chi-Chi laughed a bit. "I'm fine, really! I'm okay with no injuries. And if something bad happened…well…not really…I mean, something happened, but don't worry! It ended up well! Goku and his friends already solved it!" she told them.

Danielle and Rachel froze. Goku? No way!

"You mean-!"

Chi-Chi nodded, a bit nervous. "Yes..." she inhaled. "Girls…These are Goku and his friends, I invited them all to stay here. Say hi!" she said moving a bit to the side so her friends could see them. Now millions of questions came to her mind.

Will they like them?

How will they react?

Will they hate each other and start a fight?

Will they like each other and she never really had to worry?

Chi-Chi knew she'll get the answers of her questions right in this moment.


There it is. I hope you liked it. Sooo, let's summarize:

1. Chi-Chi learned and accepted, with struggle but accepted that the world will not be always at peace and that her fiancée along his friends will always go and try to protect Earth no matter what.

2. Goku told Chi-Chi about his friends. From all the Z-Fighters members to their allies such as Upa, Bora, Suno, Eighter and even Arale. She also told him a bit about her two friends Danielle and Rachel, and also mentioned Bryan, but did not tell Goku he has a crush on her.

3. Goku and Chi-Chi talks about fighting being dangerous and Goku tells her a bit more of his past.

4. Goku and Chi-Chi flew on Nimbus, and they finally kissed! x3

5. Danielle and Rachel arrived at the castle, and now they'll meet Goku and his friends!

So, in the next chapter, the Z-Fighters get to know Danielle and Rachel, will they get along or not? And Bryan…he still has a crush on Chi-Chi, when he appears, will he accept he lost Chi-Chi forever or not? You'll see…

Thanks for everyone that reviewed. And please review! Pretty please! *puts puppy face* Review and tell me what you think, pleeeeaaaaseee?
