Chapter 15 – The Start of a Saving Trip
Seven months later...
Goten sighed. "I know, Kaasan. I understand everything fine. I have to go now!" Goten snapped at his mother for what seemed to be the hundredth time now, as he tried to move to the side, a little, to get away from her continuous lectures.
Chi-Chi straightened up, putting her fists on her hips with a frown. "Now, Goten, listen to me! I don't know why I'm letting you go on this little adventure, but you had better remember what I've said." she ordered, looking over to Goku who was standing in the open doorway, looking at them eagerly. "And that goes for you too, Mister!"
Goku stood with his arms hanging at his sides, drumming his fingers on his hips impatiently. "Hai, Chi-Chi. Come on now, Goten. Let's get going." he urged.
"Right!" Goten agreed in relief and headed for the door.
Chi-Chi took a quick step forward to the door. "Now Goten.... remember...", she trailed off, stopping him by placing her hands protectively on his shoulders. "...No fighting on Namek!" She then dropped her hands by her sides and spoke a little softer. "I want you both back in one piece, please!"
Goten looked at his mother but didn't really want to say anything more to her. He knew what she was like at situations like this and was afraid that his rush to get out of the house would upset her. So, instead of handling it himself, he turned and looked at his father with an expression plainly saying 'Do something to get us out of here!'.
Goku looked at his son and understood clearly what he was saying. With a sigh, he continued his attempts to get out of the house. "Chi-Chi, please! We have to go already! Don't worry about him! I think he's got the point by now. You've been telling him this for the last two hours.", he insisted as he walked over to her. "Don't worry, baby. Everything will be fine." He reached out and gave her a gentle and reassuring hug. "Nothing will happen, I promise."
Goten, who was now standing a couple of feet away from the door, spoke up. "I'm gonna go wait outside, Tousan. I'll see ya later, Kaasan! Ai shite imasu! Bye!", he said, waving to his mom as he went outside to wait.
Chi-Chi fell into her husbands embrace and began to sob softly. "Goku, if anything ever happened to you again, I don't know what I'd do.", she said between sobs and looked up to see his face. "Please..." She stared into his deep, sparkling eyes before bringing her head down again, onto his chest. "I love you."
Goku looked down at her in surprise. "Aw, Chi-Chi." He put his arms around her. "I love you too, dear. I always will. I'll be careful. We'll be fine.", he assured, hugging her for a moment in silence.
Chi-Chi sobbed quietly for a few more seconds, then lifted her head up to look at Goku one more time before letting go. She continued staring into his eyes, with her own shimmering from her tears.
Goku gently wiped the tears off her face, looking into her eyes. He smiled softly and leaned down a little, closing his eyes. He pressed his lips against hers, kissing her with all the love he has ever felt for her and all the emotion he could ever know, wrapping his arms around her tighter, enjoying this one romantic moment in time, wishing it could last forever.
Chi-Chi closed her eyes also, kissing him in return. She moved one hand to his neck and wrapped it around the back, pulling him closer while stroking his cheek with the other.
Goku finally broke the kiss and leaned back a little. "I'm sorry, Chi-Chi. But we really have to leave now." He smiled his well-known kawaii smile that always made her feel better about everything. "But don't worry about us. Everything will be ok."
Chi-Chi sighed and looked down. "I know. I'll be waiting for you to return. Remember that, ok?", she said, looking back up and smiling at him.
Goku nodded. "And I look forward to seeing you when we come back." He returned the smile and stepped back as Chi-Chi nodded in response. "Take care while we're gone. I'll see you a in a couple of days! Bye Chi-Chi!", he called as he left through the door.
Chi-Chi stood in the same spot and watched him leave. "Bye…Goku!"
Once outside, Goku grinned. "Alright Goten! Let's go!" he said while gesturing his hand to follow him.
Goten looked up. "It's about time!! Let's get going before they make the wish without us!" He looked at his watch. "We were supposed to be there an hour and a half ago!!" he exclaimed.
"I know, I know." Goku nodded. "We better hurry. C'mon!" he said as he took off into the air.
"Right!" He took off after him and got up beside him. He looked over to his father. "So what took so long in there anyway?"
Goku glanced over to him. "Well.... you know how your mother gets at times like this. She was just a little worried about us coming home safe."
Goten grinned slightly, getting the idea. "Ahh. I see." He said while giving him an 'I understand' wink, then turned his head forward again with a smile.
A little time passed as they flew in silence. Goten suddenly broke the silence and said, "I bet everyone's standing around asking where we are." He looked down at the ground, noting how fast it was going by. "You think we should speed things up?"
Goku looked at his son, grinning. "Alright then!", he agreed, going Super Saiyan immediately.
Goten smiled, transforming as well.
Goku picked up the speed, getting ahead of Goten. "C'mon Goten! You're way too slow!", he called back, laughing.
"Hey!" he shouted, increasing his speed as well. "Am not! I'm gonna beat you, Tousan!" he challenged, speeding up more and passing his father.
"Oh you will, huh? Heh heh, well, we'll see about that." Goku smirked, going Super Saiyan 2 and rocketing off considerably faster than before. He passed Goten within seconds, laughing loudly the whole way so Goten could hear him gloat.
Goten stared in surprise as his father went by. "NO FAIR!!!" he screamed out to him.
At the Lookout...
Trunks paced back and forth at the edge of the Lookout with his arms crossed and an irritated expression on his face. He mumbled to himself, "Where are they? They are so late. What is Goku doing to get himself sidetracked now??"
Vegeta was standing on the edge of the Lookout not far from Trunks in a similar stance. He had his arms crossed, tapping his fingers on his arm impatiently with just as much, if not more, of an irritated expression. "If Kakarott's only excuse for being this late is that he got hungry, I swear I'll kill him."
Suddenly, as if on cue, Goku flew up past Vegeta and Trunks, powering down in the air and came down to the ground behind the two. "Whew!" he sighed out.
Trunks looked up at Goku quickly and sighed in relief.
Vegeta turned to face Goku. "Kakarott!!" He stomped over to him. "You'd better hope you have a decent excuse for keeping us waiting this long!! You're nearly two hours late!!" he shouted, standing in front of him.
"Uhh..." Goku produced a sweatdrop and smiled, putting his hand behind his head. "Well.... we left as soon as we could. Chi-Chi kinda gave us a hard time leaving at first."
Trunks walked over and looked around. "Where's Goten?"
Goku turned to Trunks, a little relieved from for the distraction from the angered Saiyan Prince. "Oh...heh...he should get here soon. We kinda had a race. I won.", he answered with kawaii eyes.
Trunks laughed a little. "Oh... I see. Well we really should be getting off now.", he said, glancing over to where everyone else was around the Dragonballs.
"I know.", Goku replied. He looked behind him over the edge of the Lookout. "I must have really left Goten behind!" He blinked suddenly. "Oh wait! I think he's coming!"
Goten flew up to the Lookout and landed by Goku, powering down and giving his father an evil look.
Goku laughed. "What took so long, Goten?", he asked in a mocking tone. "I thought you said you were gonna beat me."
"That's not fair! You cheated.", Goten muttered.
"Ah, you're just being a sore loser.", Goku said, chuckling.
"Ok you guys. Let's just hurry and make the wish while it's still daylight.", Trunks said testily.
"Really..." Vegeta muttered as he turned to walk away toward the rest of the group.
"Alright." Goku replied and turned to follow Vegeta.
Goten smiled and headed towards the group with Trunks following close behind.
Dende looked up and saw Goku and the rest on their way over. "Finally!" he exclaimed in relief. He turned to the rest of the group. "Minna! They're here now!"
Everyone breathed out sighs from a mixture of relief and irritation. Comments such as 'It's about time.' and 'I didn't think he'd ever get here!' were heard.
Goku walked over to everyone, smiling a nervous grin. "Heh, gomen we're late guys. We got here as soon as we could, honest!"
After everyone had gathered around the Dragonballs, Goku looked around at them and asked, "So…who's going to make the wish?"
Trunks stepped forward. "I'll do it, Goku." He stood in front of the Dragonballs and paused for a moment before summoning the dragon.
Goku nodded and stepped back a little, along with everyone else to give Trunks a little room.
Trunks stretched his arms out in front of him towards the Dragonballs. "Shenron! I summon you forth to grant my wish!" he called out. He stepped back after a burst of bright light shot up from the seven balls.
After the light died down, Shenron was seen looming high above them. "I will grant one wish and one wish only to the ones who have awakened me." he growled out. "Now...tell me thy wish so that I may return to my rest."
"Shenron!" Trunks called to the Eternal Dragon. "Please transport the ones named Goku, Gohan, Goten, Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, and me to the planet Namek!"
"That wish... is easily granted." Shenron replied, his eyes glowing red momentarily.
Trunks smiled. "Arigoutou!"
The seven warriors who were to go to Namek moved over away from the group. Goku waved to everyone and smiled. "We'll see you guys soon!"
Seconds after his words were spoken they all disappeared.
"The wish has been granted!" Shenron announced. Suddenly, the seven Dragonballs glowed brightly as Shenron disappeared. The balls flew into the air and burst apart from each other, flying in all different directions, scattering over the Earth once more.
Dende smiled and said softly, "There they go..." as he looked up into the sky.
