Vegeta and Goku stood on top of the lookout with Dende and Mr. Popo. The Z-gang had all flown up to the lookout for a debriefing on what was happening. Goku informed all his friends on Chi Chi's brother spike first. Vegeta stood still and quiet as Goku retold the story of how Spike had stalked Chi Chi and the kidnapping which held some suspicions on its own. The gang all reacted like anyone would to being told this information. Shouting out names, all actions, and things they wanted to take.

Scumbag!...I'll give him a piece of my mind…Bastard he crossed the line….Ill give him a piece of my mind when I find him… He's a dead man…. He deserves to rot in hell…..

Goku cleared his throat trying to get everyone's attention. They all shut up when they saw Goku's mood turn serious. Goku stood there almost as a replica of Vegeta. His arms were crossed. Feet were firmly planted on the ground, his eyes were narrowed and he had a scowl on his face.

"Thanks guys but we have a bigger issue now compared to Spike…..there are two rouge sayians here." This had everyone reeling back except Piccolo.

Krillins eyes were popping out of his head as he process that information. "waaa whaaaat?...please do not tell me Goku that there are two more of you here?"

"Heh I think this will be fun." Piccolo let out a chuckled and sat down as he was about to meditate.

Yamcha was watching the scene before him as Goku was talking to Krillin, Vegeta. 18, and 17 just stood there taking in the actions and words.

"How? How can you meditate at a time like this!?" Yamcha watched Piccolo dumbstruck.

"This is ridiculous we have two sayians that are bent on most likely destroying this planet and you are MEDITATING!"

Vegeta walked up and grabbed the front of Yamcha's shirt "Either grow some balls or run away like the pansy girl you are…"

Yamcha fell his butt on the ground when Vegeta let go of him.

Deciding that it was his turn, since he was the prince, to address the situation, Vegeta marched right up to the middle of the group of everyone.

"If you are just gonna sit there like that-" vegeta pointed behind him to Yamcha "Get the fuck out of my sight. If not welcome to the army that we are going to have to be."

Everyone turned and faced Vegeta. Goku walked up and decided to take a stance next to him.

"Since Kakarots brother decided a visit was a good idea, but only to become stranded on this planet we do not have any chance of surprised or advantage. From the knowledge we know of his ware bouts, hes been here around 5 years give or take more.

It's all power, skill, and brute strength. They don't care about anything, so they will do whatever and have no remorse. Don't take their size into consideration when you face off against them. They are males and everything about them seeps male. Don't say I did not warn you."

Vegeta decided he had said what needed to be said and nothing more about these men.

"brother….you have a brother Goku?" Krillin looked to Goku for confirmation

"yeah…lucky me…." Goku's halfheartedly laughed

Goku was sitting on the edge hanging his legs dangled over the side. He was staring out into space concentrating on energy signature all around the globe.

Nothing, he couldn't figure anything out. Nothing out of the ordinary was popping up and this was aggravating him heavily. How could he protect the ones he loved if he couldn't even see or feel them. Useless, that's what he felt like. Totally and utterly useless. He was this all and powerful being to defend and protect the earth and those he loved, but now he felt like he was an ant under a boot.

Vegeta noticed Goku and his brooding so he decided to walk up and kick goku in the shoulder. Shoving him off the look out, a second later Goku floated back up to the lookout and stood in front of Vegeta.

"whats your problem Kakarot?" Vegeta stood there waiting for an answer

Nothing. Silence.

Vegeta pulled back and went to hit Goku upside his head.

Smack!

"OWWW! What the hell you smack me for?!" Goku rubbed the back of his head where a bump was forming.

"I will ask you again, What is your problem Kakarot?"

Goku sighed "Chi Chi...and just trying to figure out how I'm going to protect her from apparently my bastard of a brother, that I can't even sense." Vegeta nodded his head in understanding as he stared out into the never ending abyss of the sky

"Did you make the connection with her first?" Goku brows knitted together at the subject change and he shook his head to reply he was not the one

"So princess was the first one then huh? Interesting considering she is not a sayian and knows nothing, of any of this matter. Good instincts. "

Goku and Vegeta were silent as they stared off into the never ending sky in front of them.

Vegeta turned and faced Goku.

"You know this is what they want. They feed off your weakness. You overanalyzing everything and feeling like this - they have you eating straight out of the palm of their hands. They will play as many games to mess with you so that they will win…..trust me I know. Especially with Nappa involved."

Vegeta jump off the edge to fly away "Now that we have a plan set up you can rest until the ball. Come on lets go."

"You get a head start Vegeta I need to ask Krillin something really quick. Ill be right behind you." Vegeta shot off into the sky and Goku turned around to find Krillin.

Spotting his good friend Goku walked over and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Hey Goku, whats up?" Krillin glanced up to Goku to see him nod his head to the side.

Krillin followed Goku over to the side away from the group of friends discussing the current situation.

"I need your help, advice-help ehh…..well I mean, uh what I'm trying to say is. I think, well you know Chi Chi is my family and means the universe to me, Well I need held uh.."

Krillin's eyes were bulging out of his head and he had a grin like a child on his face. "So you finally put on your smart pants realized Chi Chi is the one and want to ask her to marry you!" krillin was almost shouting in excitement.

Goku was waving his hands whispering "Shhhh hey hey quiet! I don't want anyone to know."

Krillin crossed his arms with a smirk across his face from the knowledge, he already knew, that was just confirmed. "Please Goku everyone knows you two are perfect for each other. We've been placing bets on how long it was going to take you both to finally realize it. I know you've only been together not very long but jesus its like you two have been together for years now. Tell me that it's not? Cause I'm pretty sure I will win this one right here."

Goku laughed and scratch his head "ehh I guess you are right. haha Well but I need help with some stuff. Umm, you're better with this whole thing than me. I need to get a ring at least and need to ask her dad right? I mean that's how I go about it."

Krillin laughed and patted his best friends back. For once it was Krillin to the rescue and not Goku, funny how the tables turn.

"Alright buddy I'll help you out, I mean I don't know if I want to see you fail this one. How about in two days we'll get together and get this hashed out….by the way when did you think about this? Since its kind of out of the blue."

Goku looked up into the sky like he was deep in thought. "the hospital."

Krillin nodded not prodding for anything else, he would get all that later one. Today had already been filled enough with craziness.

Goku let out a huge sigh of relief at the fact he had Krillin to help him out. He had no idea what he was going to do if he didn't have Krillin. He had been his best friend ever since he got to earth other than Chi Chi. Krillin was one of the first 'earthlings' he met after his Grandpa Gohan. Teaching him all about earth and its traditions, customs, and anything else. Yet still after so many years he was asking for Krillin's help, he didn't know how to repay him but he would one day after all this settled down. Yeah he would help him out a ton. Thank god for Krillin

"Bulmaaaaaa…" Chi Chi held onto Bulma arms to keep her from walking into the dress store.

"Nope come on Chi Chi we have to get dresses. Believe it or not we cannot wear jeans, shorts, tshirts, or sweats to this event." Bulma yanked Chi Chi right on into the store.

"Don't worry I'll do all the talking no one here will bother you at all. They won't pester us and we have a back private room so there won't be a harassment issue with people."

Chi Chi visibly relaxed a little at the knowledge Bulma just informed her of. "Thank you Bulma…"

Bulma winked at her and walked over to the counter to inform the ladies of their arrival.

Chi Chi looked around the boutique at the groups of woman there. 3 small groups of woman were scattered throughout the store. One looked to be like a teen looking for dance dress and the other two clearly wedding dress shopping. I wonder if that will ever be me one day. Chi Chi smiled at the thought of her trying white dresses on.

She was brought out of her thinking when her arm was tugged to follow Bulma down the hall. The woman headed upstairs to a private room. The room held a balcony that overlooked the ocean harbor full of boats. The room had a touch of modern and richness mixed into its design. But there was a feeling of peace and privacy with this room, like it was pulled away from everything else in the world. There was a couch towards one side of the room while the other held racks for dresses, a curtained off area for dressing, a very large mirror, and finally a washroom for the ladies.

"Would you ladies like anything to drink?" the woman dressed in a suit looked over to Chi Chi to inquire if she needed anything.

Bulma retorted before Chi Chi could get a word in. "Two mimosas please and some fruit or cheese. Whichever you have will be ok" Bulma sat down on the couch

"Sounds fantastic. Please, if you need anything else my name is Elsa. You can ring that bell over by the door and I will be at your service. Coco will be with you in a minute."

Not wanting to say anything Chi Chi sat down next to Bulma and rested her head on the couch until Coco came into the room. Comfortable silence danced along the two women for a few minutes until it was interrupted by the door opening.

A small petite woman standing 5' 2" tall bounced on into the room. Dressed to kill, she was a stylist for sure by just looking at her outfit. It bled fashion and screamed she knew fashion.

"Bulma Breifs! Oh my goodness I have missed you!"

Bulma jumped off the couch and embraced the new woman in the room in a large hug. Turning around Bulma went to introduce Chi Chi to Coco.

"Chi Chi I would like you to meet Coco the best stylist in the world and my childhood next door neighbor."

Chi chi giggled and shook the woman's hand as they both introduced themselves to each other. Coco sat with the woman for the next ten minutes discussing what they needed the dresses for. What they were looking for exactly and anything else that she needed to know.

Elsa came back into the room pushing a small serving table with their requested drinks and food.

Grabbing their drinks Bulma and Chi Chi toasted to each other. "Here is to each other and saying screw the world on what they say about us."

Chi Chi giggled and agreed with Bulma. Sitting back in the couch and facing bulma she smirked."So….."

Bulma raised her eyebrow at Chi Chi "What?"

"so…when are you and Vegeta gonna get married?" Chi Chi took a nice long sip as she watched Bulma spit her drink out at the question and started coughing.

"WHAT?! what are you talking about..."

"Don't give me your bullshit girl. I know how you two are and I can see it in the way you look at him from across the room. And I can see it in his eyes when I catch him watching you sometimes. Do not seriously deny it because I will smack you if you do."

If someone knew how to have perfect timing it was Coco "I have dresses!"

Coco was walking into the room pushing a rack full of dresses in front of her.

Bulma mentally thanked whatever god existed at that moment for Coco's timing.

"You're not getting out of this Bulma, you will answer me later." Chi chi drank down the rest of her drink and walked over to the dresses. Well I guess lets get this trying dresses on over with.

..

Not the right color.

To poofy.

No enough fabric.

I feel like a cupcake dress.

What is this?

No.

This is not happening.

Oh Hell to the NO!

I look like an orange.

An hour and a half later. A Bottle of Champagne. 35 dresses later….

"This is useless Bulma. I have looked at 35 dresses! And only one of those was good for my second dress. This is useless." Chi Chi sat down on the couch in a poofy dress that swallowed her.

Bulma walked out of the dressing room in a sleek red dress that was ready to kill anyone that caught sight of her.

"Oh. My. God. Bulma that dress is exquisite." Bulma smiled and walked over to sit next to Chi Chi.

"I think I know what dress you should try on. Just let me pick one out please?"

Chi chi sighed giving up and nodded her head. Bulma got up and walked out of the room for a second. This dress is just ridiculous. Chi Chi looked down at the pile of tool and poof she was sitting in.

She felt totally pathetic at this point. She had tried on every little girls dream dress. Poof and princess worthy to the 'T' Chi Chi sat on the couch as she started to laugh out loud at the absurdity that surrounded her. All the dresses were like the ones you imagined when you were a little girl. Poofy, and really childish.

Everything that had happen to her in the past couple months was just unreal and finally hitting her. Her Step-brother, Goku, the dress, Goku's brother and now these absurd thoughts she had about getting married to Goku. They had been officially dating barely over a few months ish and now she was thinking about marriage with him. I'm totally and utterly helpless. Can someone please help me? SERIOUS like I'm over all your jokes!

"Hey Chi Chi come on and try to the dress..." Bulma burst into the room as Chi Chi sat in thought and placed the dress in the changing room. Bulma walked up to Chi Chi waving a hand in front of her face.

"Hello, earth to Chi Chi. Snap out of it woman!" Bulma was snapping and clapping her hands in front of Chi Chis face.

Chi Chi blinked and was still laughing lightly when she got up and headed to the changing room not saying anything.

Bulma watch her walk back into the room "Wow shes finally lost it... I mean I don't blame the girl after everything that has happened to her..."

Bulma grabbed her glass and slowly sipped the Mimosa. "God marriage! hah! Me and Vegeta, Chi Chi is hilarious. Vegeta would never want to, that would never happen...I mean it couldn't right?..."

Mysterious hands jolted out to Bulma's shoulders. "Boo!"

"BAHHHHHH" Bulma jumped up into the air screaming bloody murder and spilling the drink on whoever was behind her . Whipping around Bulma was met with a Goku on the ground laughing hysterically and a Vegeta that had a wet face from the drink Bulma had in her hand.

"Why you!. GOKU! Why in the hell would you sneak up on me like that?! You got a lot of nerve." Bulma was pointing her finger at him.

Vegeta stood up straight and whipped the liquid off his face but not before he grabbed bulmas glass and drank down the last sip. Not once did his face falter from his serious facade.

"Bulma what the fuck is going on out there?!" Chi Chi walked out into the suit to find Goku laughing on the ground and Vegeta in a standoff with Bulma. At the exact same time all three friends looked over to Chi Chi standing in her dress. Chi Chi locked eyes with Goku and froze. She had not expected to be seeing him here. She didn't know if she should feel uncomfortable or excited.

Goku stood up speechless "Chi Chi you look..."

Chi Chi started to curl up into her little ball GOD i knew I look ridiculous in this and horrible!

"OH MY GOD I LOVE IT!" Bulma ran over to Chi chi and walked around the girl.

The dress was an A-line, sweetheart strapless dress. A light lavender color coated Chi Chi and the skirt had roses stitched all into it. A simple belt of gems wrapped around Chi Chi's waist and the flowers looked like they were falling from it. The bottom of the skirt was covered in tighter stitched roses while they dissipated going up the skirt to the belt.

Bulma scooted into the changing room and shoved Chi Chi out into the room further so

she could close the curtain.

Chi Chi stood awkwardly in the room with the dress on as Goku just stood by the doors to the balcony not saying anything.

Unable to stand Goku's idiocy Vegeta walked up to Chi Chi. Looking at the dress Vegeta grabbed Chi Chi's hand and bent down to kiss it. what the hey is ve..." You look ravishing Chi Chi. Fit for royalty." what?...is Vegeta sick.

Vegeta let go of Chi Chi's hand and walked over to the fitting room "If I stay in here one minute longer woman, I might actually indulge myself in the idea of blowing this place up so you dont come home with any more clothing."

Bulma ripped the curtain back revealing herself back in her normal attire "gez whats up your ass today." glaring at him she turned back to Chi Chi

"Just change, hang the dress up and I will have Coco send these to my house for us! You don't have to worry about anything."

Chi Chi just nodded and looked down, still in shock from what Vegeta had done and said, she watched the two walk out back downstairs.

Chi Chi then turned realizing they had left Goku and Chi Chi alone. She looked up and was met face to face with Goku directly in front of her. "uhh Hi"

Goku grabbed Chi Chi's hand raising it up he kissed her hand, letting his lips linger longer than Vegeta's. "You look exquisite...Chi."

Chi Chi blushed and smiled looking down. "umm thank you Goku." Oh my god what do I do, damn it Bulma why did you walk out.

Chi Chis felt Goku's warm hand grasp her chin and she was brought up to look straight into his eyes. Chi Chi stomach was doing flip flops and felt like it hand dropped down 20 floors as Goku leaned down. Just a hair away from her lips Chi Chi was trying to remember how to breathe.

"You know I love you Chi Chi, with every fiber of my body." Chi Chi sucked in her breathe and then warm lips crashed down onto hers.

Something about this kiss was different and not in the bad way. She felt it in every aspect of the way Goku looked at her, how he held her face, and how he kissed her. But she couldn't put her finger on it what exactly Goku was meaning in it but she didn't care. All Chi Chi could feel at that very moment was the happiness in the bliss that she was right in the idea that Goku and her were meant to be together.
