A/N: Well, well, look who's back from the dead. Yeah, that's right. Sorry
about the very very long delay. I had a lot of homework and now school's
just about out, leaving me with time to work on my fics. I've started on
another one, which is sorta a Gohan Torture fic but not quite. I'm quite
pleased with it and it would be great if you kept your eye open for it.
Anyway.. on with the fic!

What's so Wrong with Being Happy?
Bulma Arrives
Goku and Chi-Chi had left her room and were now wandering the halls aimlessly. They didn't have any set destination or anywhere they would have to be for the rest of the night. Suddenly it struck Goku, "I should really see how Piccolo's doing, I think you may have bruised his face and his ears are probably still ringing."
Chi-Chi couldn't help but feel slightly guilty. Even if she didn't like the green man—whatever he was, she hadn't meant to cause him pain… not much at least. "All right Goku," she agreed. "Let's go"
They made their way to Piccolo's room and knocked on the door a few times before Goku became impatient and simply broke it down. The Princess was slightly phased by his strength but enough strange things had happened that day that she didn't let it really get to her. Goku entered the room first, as Chi-Chi didn't want to walk in on the other man in case he was indecent or… something.
Goku called out Piccolo's name a few times before turning back to the woman still standing by the door. "He's not here," he said, slightly miffed. He was expecting Piccolo to be meditating or sleeping, though he wasn't sure that his green companion slept at all. The mage shrugged and brushed it off. He walked back through the door and smiled at Chi-Chi. They began to walk down the hall again.
A low rumble interrupted their walk this time. Goku looked down at his stomach, surprised. Then he looked back at the girl he was walking with with confusion written all over his face. "It wasn't my stomach." He stated, confusing Chi-Chi as well. Why the hell would his stomach make a noise like that?
She shook her head at him, a little bit of pity, or maybe it was apprehensiveness visible in her dark brown eyes. "That's the drawbridge, you silly oaf!" That clinched it, she thought he was insane. He then realized something. He glanced around nervously and, not finding what he was looking for, rested his cautious gaze upon her. "what time is it?" Chi- Chi was slightly taken aback by this seemingly random question but estimated that it was around nine thirty. Goku got even more figity.
Chi-Chi began to realize what he might be a little worried about. Who would come to a palace this late. And why had she not been informed of a visitor. She should have been, it seemed that they had to have been expecting someone because no one got past the drawbridge after it was dark unless they had been invited. She grabbed her companions wrist and dragged him along behind her, eager to find out what was going on.

Outside the castle, Bulma was tinkering with a new invention. If she threw it at the drawbridge she should be able to blow out the ropes of the chains holding the drawbridge. Then she could easily get inside. She glanced at her body guards and winked. Tossing the little gadget at the castle, she soon found that she had horrible aim and the small machine fell into the water about ten feet to the right of the drawbridge, not even halfway across the moat.
She pouted a little and handed another one of her inventions to Yamcha, who threw it easily at the bridge. It started it descent slowly and Bulma winched slightly at how loud it was. She put her game face back on and waited patiently for the bridge to fully descend.
When they were able to get to the castle. Bulma, Yamcha, and Krillin didn't hesitate. They walked across the drawbridge, full of confidence. They reached the palace doors and her two companions easily pushed it open. Upon stepping inside, they were faced with five or six angry girls, a woman who looked very grouchy, a very large man, several slaves, and the man she was looking for: Goku… with a girl attached to his arm? Wonders never cease!
She strolled up to the tall man, completely disregarding all others present and spoke in her calm, mature voice, "Goku, I need you to help me find the dragonballs. I only have one and I intend to have my wish. Now, you're stronger than both our friends here and the more help, the better. It will be great Goku, come on! Lots of adventure and fights." Goku sighed, then he was filled with rage towards Piccolo. Had he been a traitor and told Bulma where he was? That was the only explanation he could think of for his discovery of his 'hiding place' and he fumed as he tried to locate his 'friend's" ki.
A/N: OOO! Goku's pissed. Christ, I'd hate to have to deal with him when he was in that state! Anyways.. please review!
