A/N: I have been gone for so long because I GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE! It took so long but I now have my associate's in elementary education. Two more years until I'm officially done, but I am on summer break right now and taking these days to finally write. I have to admit, I did have writer's block/ lack of motivation for quite some time, but I have received so many PMs from people wondering where I was and I just knew I had to continue to finish what I started.

Many, many, many updates to come. Also, meeting Sean freaking Schemmel probably helped my motivation as well. He is as amazing as you'd think he is. I have a picture on my tumblr I took with him at Comic Con if you're interested! For now, though, I'm sure you're here to read.

ALSO - I am still following this in a seasonal-chronological order! I know it is summer basically and hot as hell but this is FALL for this chapter so hopefully I do a good enough job that it feels like it wherever you're reading this from!

ENJOY GOCHI FANS! It's good to be back.

Part II: Fall

From the inside of her shared home, Chi-Chi observed a red leaf dropping from her favorite tree that eventually pressed itself against her cold window as if to greet her personally. Her cheeks turned the same crimson color as the leaf when it appeared to begin thrusting against the glass, bringing flashbacks of last night.

They've done the thing. A couple of times over the few months they've been married. Maybe a lot more than a couple of times.

"Stop it!" She hissed at the leaf humping her window. "Don't judge me! I'm married!"

It occurred to her at that moment the only person she could talk to about the thing was this lonely leaf. She had no friends of her own; Bulma was too loud and Launch was too sneezy. Surely, her dad would faint or possibly die on the spot from a heart attack.

It was just this little leaf penetrating her window.

"Look, you better not tell any of your little friends, but I am starting to believe he isn't human!" Chi-Chi was squatting so her crazed eyes were level with her current companion. "I feel like I'm gonna die every single time!"

As if disgusted by what it had just heard, the leaf continued its journey through Mount Paozu. The teenage wife sighed and closed the burgundy curtains to help her forget cold weather was coming. For it being the end of September, the chilled winds have already picked up and that meant weeks until the inevitable snowfall that Goku warned her about.

She honestly wasn't sure how she'd handle it.

The thing about living on Fire Mountain, was, fire. Heat. Everywhere.

Her wood stove was going to be her source of warmth in her new home, as well as...

Chi-Chi buried her face in her hands, giggling at the fact she imagined her bedroom. She wore a coy smile when she turned her back to the window, scanning the living room for any trash she needed to throw away or decorative pillows that needed straightening. Her husband was out doing his version of fishing, hoping to find a big one that would last for days.

For someone whose diet was strictly fish and rice since childhood, Chi-Chi was surprised he still enjoyed it so much. Just the thought of having fish again made her want to...

Knock, knock!

Chi-Chi held one hand against her chest until she was sure the nauseous feeling in her stomach disappeared. She took in two deep breaths but was interrupted before her third when the loud knocking continued.

"Goku, what-"

The wife stared blankly at the back of the mailman, who always took off before she could even see his face. His heavy boots crunched the leaves angrily, as if he couldn't stand traveling the bumpy dirt roads of Mount Paozu in his tiny vehicle. Chi-Chi waved at his unknowing back anyway, and took one step forward to begin heading to the mailbox. She was stopped by a carefully tapped brown box.

She blinked before bending down to pick it up. Her ruby lips turned upward into an excited grin as she read the sender's information. A package specifically for Son Chi-Chi from Bulma Brief!

Any gift from the rich Bulma had to be exquisite!

She slammed the door excitedly behind her and leaned against it as she tore into the package. She was thankful she hadn't cut her nails yet, as they were the perfect tape openers. Her jaw dropped as a lacy hot pink corset dropped to her feet. Chi-Chi was turning as red as she had earlier when picked it up and saw the note that was clothes-pinned to the price tag.

Bulma was never the one to hide how much she spent on a gift.

"Ah geez..."

And she was never the one to be subtle.

Hi, Chi-Chi! A late wedding present is better than no wedding present. Give your new husband a night he won't forget! ;)

"She even drew a winking face..."

The modest teen was mortified. Did the whole world know that Goku and her had done the thing? Or was this just assumed for the newlyweds? Chi-Chi shook her head as she held the corset at eye level. She swore the sparkly things on it were real diamonds after looking at how much Bulma spent on her. The wife pouted a little, realizing that she should be thankful for Bulma sending her something so beautiful.

Even though it was a little on the... wild side.

What Bulma didn't know (well, Chi-Chi prayed she didn't know anything about anything) was that Goku still hadn't seen Chi-Chi's body. All she did was wear an old woman's nightgown and pull down his former wristbands to her ankles and the Bedroom Rodeo occurred.

After the eighteen year old had thrown away the remains of Bulma's box, she sat down at the kitchen table and tapped her long finger nails against it. Goku sure was taking a long time...

Chi-Chi knew that he'd be okay. He fought an overgrown green man at the World's Martial Arts Tournament and survived. Anyone who could withstand that would definitely survive an afternoon of fishing.

Her eyes turned away from the bowl of rotting fruit and focused on the pink material relaxing over the chair across from her. She bit her lip nervously and began tapping her feet instead of her fingers.

What would Goku do if he came home from a long day of fishing and saw her wearing something so sensual? Would he be scared? Thrilled? Hungry? All of the above? The corset left very little to the imagination but Chi-Chi was still trying to figure out her husband's mindset...

She glanced down at the gold band on her finger. She was a married woman, after all...

The moment Goku stood in the creek, images of Grandpa Gohan teaching him how to catch a fish replayed in his mind as he felt through the water with his hands.

"Alright now, Goku. The best time to reach for them is when they are getting close to your feet! That way by the time you're bending down, they'll already be exactly where your hands are and you just have to pull them up!" The former martial artist proved to his grandson that his word was good. Right as the old man returned upright, he was holding a medium sized yet delicious purple fish.

"Wow, Grandpa! You look just like the bears we saw the other day!" The chubby messy haired child laughed and did his best to copy Gohan. When he lifted a fish ten times the size of the one his grandpa was holding, the old man fell backwards into the water. His shock outweighed the pain he was feeling on his bottom.

"My goodness, Goku! You surprise me every day!"

Goku opened his eyes and smiled. The creek really hadn't changed that much since that day. With very few inhabitants on Mount Paozu, the water was never tainted by human touch.

The strong man would usually attack the water and the fish inside it like a ruthless killer.

This afternoon, however, he was very calm and slow. He was taking his time and enjoying how the water was beginning to turn cold. This was a sign that snow would be here soon, and there was nothing better than training in the snow!

Except...

"Whoa! That's a big mama!" Goku rubbed his hands greedily, suddenly feeling hungry. There was a giant bass heading down the creek and the teen wasn't going to let it escape.

"I knew I'd find you here!"

Right before Goku could dive in and swim after his uncooked lunch, he looked over to see a short bald teen wearing a bright yellow shirt and hat to match and a scarred faced wolf-man standing right next to him. They looked drained, as if they'd been lost and wondering in the woods for hours.

Giving them his trademark grin and a big wave, Goku shouted out to them. "Krillin! Yamcha! Long time, no see!"

"How's the old ball and chain!" Yamcha laughed, but then covered his face in embarrassment when he saw Goku looking down his underwear.

"It's still there!"

"Glad to hear it," Yamcha muttered and then found his smile again when Goku approached land. "So, uh, have you and Chi Chi done what I told you husbands and wives do yet? Huh? Huh?"

Goku shook his body like a wet dog, allowing the droplets to soak Krillin. The short man punched his best friend's arm playfully and then smirked. "You don't have the ignore the question, there's no skirts around here!"

The messy haired hero had to think real hard before opening his mouth. Yamcha and Krillin told him a lot of things about marriage but Chi-Chi also told him to stay quiet about what happens during said marriage or else he wouldn't experience the horizontal mambo anymore.

"What brings you guys all the way out here?! You look like you've been lost for days..." Goku side-eyed Krillin's outfit and chuckled. "Well... I suppose Krillin would've been easy to spot for a search party looking like the sun and everything."

Krillin playfully shoved Goku back towards the water, knowing that his friend was changing the subject but decided it was better not to know about what goes down in that house of his.

"It's been months since we last saw you, man! Had to make sure the wife didn't kill your knuckle headed self yet."

"She makes me really tired sometimes, but I don't think she'd ever kill me."

Raised eyebrows were exchanged between the two friends before Yamcha cleared his throat. "And, uh, what exactly do you mean by that?"

Goku's eyes lit up thinking about all the foods Chi-Chi has made him over the last few months. Buffet style eating like that could make any man fall into a coma. But still... Chi-Chi told him not to tell anyone anything. His dark eyes quickly transferred to a vehicle parked behind a bush. There was a large C on it.

"Is Bulma here too?"

"Huh? Oh, no!" Yamcha beamed and dug the keys out of the pocket to make the dark blue piece of work beep. "She made it for me! Can you believe it!?"

"There's just one problem," Krillin glared at the baseball player. "We ran out of gas and had to push it through most of the forest. Do you have a phone at home we could use to call Bulma?"

Goku rubbed his chin for a moment, trying to remember if there was one. "Hm.. maybe. You'll have to check. It's a shame you guys fall right through Nimbus."

Reddening, Krillin punched Goku yet again. "Well it'd be nice if you taught us how to fly like you did against Piccolo!"

"Yeah, seriously!" Yamcha, now remembering, gave him a shove this time. "When exactly were you planning on telling us you learned how to fly?!"

Goku laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head. He picked up the technique while training with Kami over the years on the lookout but never found any use for it when he had the Nimbus. "Alright, alright! Don't bite my head off I'll teach ya! I've just been a little busy with my bride!"

The other men blinked, realizing how strange that word sounded coming from Goku. Yamcha cleared his throat for what felt like the second time.

"Well. It doesn't have to be right now. What's more important is calling Bulma."

The new husband gave his old friends a thumbs up. "No problem! But first, you guys have to help me catch a fish! I don't think I'd be allowed inside the house without one!"

"What!?" Krillin exaggeratedly pointed to the brown and crimson leaves above his shoulder and then pointed sharply at the young hero who had already began heading towards the creek. "That water is freezing cold this time of year! I can't even believe you were in it earlier!"

Goku shrugged his massive shoulders and dived in despite Krillin's protests. He blew the crystal clear water out of his mouth like a whale and started to float on his back. He was grinning up at the clouds, knowing exactly what would get those two in here with him.

"Gosh, I didn't know I was friends with two wimps. You guys can help me save the world but are too afraid of water that's a little cold."

Yamcha's eye twitched when Goku used the arm that wasn't being used to rest his head to do a finger pinching motion on the word "little" and began taking his shoes off.

"If these weren't so expensive," the player held it up high and shook it. "I would throw it right at your cocky head! Move aside!"

Goku laughed when a now underwear-clad Yamcha did a cannonball. When he came back to the surface, he was nearly blue and holding himself for warmth. He spoke with chattering teeth. "Y-Your t-turn, K-Krillin!"

With all the crap he'd gotten from Yamcha over the summer when he failed to get a girl, Krillin didn't want to deal with something else to get teased about. The former monk began to strip down, receiving whistles and cat calls from his friends in the water.

"Real appropriate, guys!"

The short teen dipped a toe in and had to fight a squeal. How the hell was Goku not an ice cube like Yamcha!? One day he'd prove his theory that his best friend wasn't a human. He looked up from his freezing toe to see that only Yamcha was looking back at him.

"Wait a min- OH CRAP!"

A large hand popped out of the water and grabbed Krillin by the ankle, dragging him under. When he was set free, Krillin was screaming at the top of his lungs due to the temperature.

"GOOOOKUUUUU! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

"The legendary sea monster of Paozu strikes again!" Goku laughed, and began swimming as fast as he could down the stream with Yamcha laughing and following behind him. As momentarily pissed as Krillin was, his facade dropped when he couldn't fight his smile any longer. Seeing his nearly naked buds having just as fun as they did when they were younger showed him that Goku getting married hadn't changed anything at all like he feared.

"It's a good thing you guys got a head start!" The monk called out to the disappearing duo and then took off down the stream after them.

To wear the corset or to wear nothing at all...

The teenage wife couldn't believe those were the possibilities she was contemplating.

Goku used to see her in that bikini she wore as a child, but she couldn't really fill it out like she did now. She was positive that he didn't find anything intriguing about it at their young age, anyway.

It was all different now. They were adults. They were married. They dipped the crane in the oil well.

And yet her husband still hadn't seen her naked.

Chi-Chi held the corset over her frontal area in front of the full length mirror and sighed. She moved it aside, put it back, moved it aside, and put it back. Her father would make her cover her eyes if a naughty scene happened in a movie they'd watch together, but through her fingers she could still see that the couple who were about to clean the cobwebs with the womb broom were in the buff.

It had to happen at some point.

"CHI-CHI! I'M HOME!"

The wife looked at her all-baring self in the mirror while dropping Bulma's gift to the floor. Though her heart was racing, she lifted one eyebrow to try and look like some sort of vixen in the movies before finding the bravery to leave the bedroom.

Alright, ol girl. You got this.

"Oh, honey?" Her own sultry voice shocked her. She was suddenly regaining confidence. This was her house, and that big beautiful man who had just walked in was her husband. She began strutting down the hall, knowing full well that Goku was going to be in the kitchen. She took a deep breath and rested her hand on the wall's corner before swiveling forward, ready to honor Bulma's note.

"Holy crap..."

The first thing Chi-Chi saw was her phone falling out of Yamcha's hand and bungy jumping to the floor. It hung inches above the dirt he left on her tiles and Bulma's voice could be heard from the other end. Krillin turned bright red before closing his eyes, and for extra precaution, covered his eyes with his hands. He was sitting right next to Goku, who was beaming from ear to ear and pointing at the fish that took up the entire table top.

"Hey, Cheech! It's a big one, huh?"

The mortified wife let out the most ear piercing scream Goku had ever heard, causing him to lose his smile as the wife ran her naked butt to the bathroom. Her straight black hair still wasn't long enough to cover it. Chi-Chi locked the bathroom door behind her and fell to the floor, crying in embarrassment of two men she hardly knew seeing what only her husband should.

And her husband didn't even seem impressed.

"Chi-Chi? What's wrong- Whoa!"

She snatched his arm and shut him in with her quicker than he grabbed Krillin at the creek. He tried opening his mouth to speak again but she began pounding his chest with small fists of fury. Tears were still running down her face and the poor guy couldn't tell if she was angry or sad or hungry. He decided to keep his fool mouth shut until she was done.

"How could you!? HOW COULD YOU LET THEM SEE MY BODY LIKE THAT!?"

Goku cocked his head to the side like a confused puppy while his wife continued to bang his chest like a bongo. He had noticed she wasn't wearing any clothing, but he couldn't understand why she was so upset. He noticed that Chi-Chi stopped fighting him as he began to trace the sides of her starting from underneath the armpit to her hip bones. He smiled sweetly when their eyes met.

"Hey, this feels nice!"

Chi-Chi tried her hardest to keep her glare but it was failing. She groaned in annoyance of his stupid charm and stupid face before resting her cheek against the chest she was abusing.

"I guess I shouldn't blame you... It was my choice. But you should've let me know you had company!"

Goku shrugged, still playing with Chi-Chi's skin. He loved how soft it was. He was so use to feeling the material of her clothes. He noticed that wherever he touched, her skin got bumpy like his did when he got cold. "Yamcha just wanted to use the phone, I think he's done already! I hope he didn't break it wen he dropped it. Why are you cold? Did you go in the water?"

Chi-Chi's pink cheeks were turning rosier. "Just because you're giving me the chills doesn't mean I'm cold..." She batted her eyelashes, expecting him to be looking right at her but both his hands were suddenly and directly on her Little Rascals.

"Ohhh! Now I understand why your shirts get so bumpy!"

"Oh good lord..."

"Heyyyyy, uhhhh... Guys?" Yamcha's voice was coming from behind Goku, blocked by the bathroom door. "Bulma kinda made me feel like an idiot and told me to go get gas and put it in the car. Where's the nearest gas station?"

As much as Chi-Chi didn't want to talk to the man who had just seen her goodies, the wife knew Goku wouldn't be able to answer. He hadn't gotten to know the neighbors like she did. "If you follow the dirt path to the right for a couple of miles, there's an older couple who sell some for the people who get lost up here."

"Oh, uh, thanks tit- CHI-CHI! Thanks!"

Goku was still exploring her body, looking as excited as a kid at the candy store. "Do you want Goku to go with you?" She didn't really want him to leave, but she didn't want Krillin and Yamcha to feel awkward about their encounter.

"Uh, no! We got it! We'll just stop by real fast to say bye on the way back!"

Chi-Chi was caught by surprise when Goku wrapped his arms around her and squeezed her tightly. She managed to gasp out, "Alright! Sounds good!" She wanted until she heard the front door shut before she started giggling. Her husband was being very handsy. So handsy in fact that his hands began to travel up her back until they ended up holding her face.

"You're kinda cute!"

She couldn't help but allow her blush to grow wider and hotter with that comment. She was beginning to see that her husband wasn't too much of a romantic, so she took whatever she could get. Remembering that she needed air, she took a deep breath and -

Fish!?

"MOVE!"

She shoved Goku to the side like he was nothing and was able to get to the toilet in time. What she was trying to hold in earlier was now below her, and she shook while holding onto the seat. Not so happy now, her husband got down to her level and began rubbing her bare back.

"Are you okay!?"

"Your hands smell like fish," she mumbled but didn't dare look up from the water. "I think we've had it so much it's starting to make me sick."

Goku's frown deepened. Fishing was the only hunting he felt happy doing. What else was there, dinosaur? "You want dinosaur meat?"

When she started throwing up again, Goku made a face and took that as a no.

"What about-"

"Can we please talk about something else besides food!?"

"Uh sure..." Goku rubbed the back of his neck with his free hand and did his best to think of a topic that wouldn't make her sick. His grandpa popped up in his thoughts again thanks to the idea of fishing and he found his grin once more. "When I was out fi-.. swimming, I remembered Grandpa."

Chi-Chi looked at him through her peripherals before wiping her mouth with some toilet paper. She discarded it in the bowl before flushing it and then turned herself slowly towards her husband. "You haven't really told me much about him... Everything I know I found out from Daddy. What was he like?"

Her orange clad honey allowed her to fall back into his chest. As she sat her naked butt on the cold floor, she was glad that she cleaned it earlier that morning. She smiled and forgot about her nausea as she felt his strong voice rumble along her neck.

"He was really patient. He had a good heart and was always nice. Smart. Strong. Man, he was so strong! He always kicked my butt during our training sessions!" Goku laughed. "I remember travelers would always stop by to test his strength and then he'd make them soup. He was always willing to help anyone that needed it and I never heard him complain."

Chi-Chi smiled sadly and rubbed his big arms that she placed across the front of her. She never heard him talk this much about another person. He was starting to sound hurt, and she wondered if she missed him. "If you don't mind me asking... How did he pass?"

Goku was quiet, and his wife was worried she'd asked the wrong question. He felt her relax in his arms when he began speaking. "Well, he always told me never to go outside during a full moon because of a monster that used to hang around here. One night, Grandpa and me were out training but we forgot it was a night of a full moon. I couldn't remember much, but when I woke up I found him and..."

Chi-Chi squeezed his biceps, not wanting him to say anything else. She never knew the poor thing was the one to find his grandpa dead. She remembered her dad telling her something about a monster even Gohan couldn't defeat but she never believed it. She believed her dad didn't either until Gohan was attacked.

There was never a sighting reported in Mount Paozu ever again.

"I'm going to put some clothes on and we can wait outside for your friends."

"NO!" Goku grabbed her wrist when she was standing up. "Just stay like that!"

She was flattered that he loved her like this so much, but now she was fully aware her husband didn't understand. This was a man who would swim naked in front of any audience. She stifled a laugh in when she looked down at his pouting face.

"We already covered that marriage isn't a food, but it also means that nobody but you is allowed to see this, alright?"

Goku jumped up to join her, nodding. "As long as I get to see it that's fine by me! I like your shirt bumpers!"

A cool breeze always picked up in the evening lately, and Chi-Chi was prepared. She had a blanket wrapped around her fully clothed body and watched as the old man down the road helped Yamcha put gas in the car, believing that the baseball player had no clue had to do so. Goku and Krillin were talking about something in hushed whispers not too far away, and the old man's wife was close to Chi-Chi and smiling mysteriously up at her.

Feeling awkward, Chi-Chi half smiled back. "Do you want some tea or hot chocolate or anything, ma'am?"

Ma'am. My age is definitely showing.

The old woman's strange smile grew. "No thank you, dear. But some tea would be good for your nausea."

"What... How do you know about that?" Chi-Chi was starting to get a little creeped out. She already kind of looked like a witch, a good one not a wicked one. But still. If anything, at least the teenage wife towered over and could roundhouse her if she tried any spells.

The old woman gave Chi-Chi one more sly look before turning her gaze to her husband who was finishing up the car job. "Ah, I didn't, but now I do. You see... I have a special power."

Alright, officially scared.

Chi-Chi inched a way, wondering if her husband could tell how uncomfortable she was. Nope. He was too busy punching Krillin's shoulder and receiving punches back.

"And... what power is that?"

"I can tell when a woman is with child. You're absolutely glowing."

Chi-Chi dropped the blanket that was protecting her from the cold, and watched wordlessly as the old woman blinked and got into the car with her husband. They took off within seconds and Yamcha was already saying his goodbyes.

"Uh, h-hey..." The long haired fighter was blushing and trying not to look at Chi-Chi's chest as he held out a hand to her. She quickly shook his outward hand and ran back into the house, leaving Yamcha to scratch his head. "Okay then... Hey, Goku?"

The hero walked over to him and gave him a huge pat on the back; their own personal way of saying goodbye. "What's up?"

Yamcha made sure Chi-Chi was definitely inside the house before both and Krillin nodded in unison. They stood in front of Goku in a united front with scowls on their faces while the young husband blinked at their hostile expressions.

"We say this as your friends, alright?"

"Uh huh...?"

Krillin cleared his throat before both him and Yamcha placed a hand on their friend's shoulder, only Krillin had to stretch up a little higher. Then the monk closed his eyes. When he reopened them, he was looking at Goku as seriously as he could.

"You are one lucky bastard. Congratulations."

"Thanks! Well, I'm going to go eat now! See you guys soon!"

Yamcha and Krillin stood in silence watching their best friend run into the house for what surely would be the best tasting meal in the world, cooked by his beautiful and hot young wife who walked around the house naked as a jaybird.

"It's not fair, is it, Yamcha?"

"No, little buddy. No it is not."
