Hehehe. O.O *hears a growl from Kei who is sitting cuddling a teddy bear while being stared at by a turtle*  I don't get the turtle either.  But Kei will explain later.  Well without further adieu chapter 3 to 'Growing Closer'.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The full moon hung high in the sky as its bright rays were beautifully reflecting off of a huge lake.  Son Goku stood standing in the middle of the lake looking up at the moon.  Letting out a heavy sigh Goku looked down at his own reflection.  He raised an eyebrow at the realization that he was naked. Goku couldn't explain it but his eyes looked so lonely, vacant, and even foreign.  His soul felt the same way perfectly reflecting the look in his eyes.  "What am I missing?" Goku asked himself out loud barely above a whisper.  Slowly Goku lowered himself into the water blowing bubbles.  Hearing a branch crack Goku quickly turned around.  "Huh?" The sounds that were heard were the usual forest sounds.  Frowning Goku began to concentrate on any new or strange chi. Suddenly a loud splash was heard behind him.  Turning around quickly Goku growled as he slipped into his fighting stance.  Goku felt his muscles tense up as nothing resurfaced.  After what seemed like an eternity Goku finally relaxed.  Sighing and chuckling to himself for being so jumpy he turned around and jumped back with a cry.  Standing before him was a dark shadow smiling at him.  Quickly regaining his composure Goku growled again as he narrowed his eyes at the stranger.  "What do you want?" Goku growled out as he narrowed his eyes. 

The figure could only smile mischievously as it cocked its head to the side.  Looking the figure up and down Goku could tell the figure was a girl.  The girl had long black hair that skimmed across the water almost playfully.  She had a sleeveless shirt that hugged her tightly showing off her curves.  Goku looked on somewhat annoyed as the girl giggled and waded closer towards him.  Goku frowned at the girl as she placed a gentle hand on his chest.  Feeling her hand a hot sensation seemed to overcome Goku immediately.  Looking at her again she smiled sweetly as she moved in closer.  Licking his lips Goku wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer and closer.  He could already feel himself growing harder and harder.  He couldn't help but smirk, as it seemed as if he could already taste her.  Both closed their eyes and moved in closer for a long awaited kiss. 

Slowly opening his eyes Goku awoke to the soothing sounds of birds chirping as the sun's rays slipped into the room.  Sitting up Goku let out a yawn as he stretched.  'Not again.' Goku thought to himself as he groaned rubbing the back of his neck.  'That's like the tenth time this week I've had a dream like that.  Wonder who this girl was?' Goku thought as he looked up as if in careful debate putting emphasis on this.  Goku had recently started to have dreams about mysterious girls who would visit him at night during a full moon.  Odd enough it was never the same girl twice.  There were times when he was in a house or building and even when he was outside.  Those were his favorite dreams…the one's outside.  Goku couldn't help but blush as he thought back over the other dreams.  The girls always looked different too.  There have been redheads, blondes, brunettes, girls with blue-hair, green hair, pink hair, purple hair, and now black.  This girl was different from the others too.  This girl looked more muscular then the other girls.  Like she trained a lot.  At this realization Goku had to blink in confusion.  He rarely ever remembered such details about the girls like that.  Did that mean that this one was more important?  Goku only shrugged his shoulders.  Truth was he wouldn't mind meeting all of the girls in his dreams.

Hearing a light sigh Goku looked over to his right and saw a young girl with raven colored hair sleeping soundly next to him.  Goku immediately stiffened as he thought back to his dream.  There was a girl with black hair in his dream too.  Upon closer inspection Goku let out a sigh of relief as he recognized the girl as being ChiChi.  Looking around the bed Goku realized that ChiChi had kicked the sheets off of the bed.  Looking ChiChi up and down Goku felt a lump form in his throat.  Swallowing hard Goku couldn't help but wonder why ChiChi had such an affect on him.  She definitely had a much better body then any other girl he had seen. Shaking his head of such 'dirty thoughts' Goku yawned as he lay back down in the bed falling asleep immediately.

ChiChi blinked and groaned lightly as the sun's rays settled on her beautiful face.  ChiChi didn't want to wake up; not now anyway but she had chores to do.  Moaning lightly and rolling over ChiChi pretty much said, 'I can do them later'.  When ChiChi rolled over her head bumped into something big, hard, and warm.  ChiChi felt panic set in as it occurred to her that it wasn't just one of her stuffed animals.  No, something or rather someone was in HER bed.  In fact, this someone had its arms wrapped around her waist and was pulling her closer to him.  ChiChi's panic quickly subsided as she recalled that it was only Goku.  ChiChi let out a sigh of relief as she recalled that Goku asked if he could sleep with her last night.  'This is nice.' ChiChi thought with a sweet smile and a light blush as she snuggled closer to Goku burying her face deeper into his chest.

"Goku?" ChiChi called out lightly as she leaned her head back and looking up at Goku.  Goku could only sigh heavily in his sleep as if fighting on whether or not to wake up.  "Goku." ChiChi called again only this time she started to lightly poke him in the chest.

"Yeah?" Goku asked as he looked down at ChiChi.  Neither of them could control the blush that rushed to their faces as they both quickly realized that their foreheads were touching.  "Sorry." Goku quickly apologized as he let ChiChi and sat up in the bed.

"Uh…that's alright." ChiChi said as she too sat up.  The two teenagers sat side by side as they each took a sudden interest in the wall on their side of the bed.  This was becoming kind of weird for Goku.  He had met a lot of girls during his travels and even talked to more during the matches for the semi-finals.  Goku recalled talking to a girl with almond brown hair and eyes to match during the first rounds of the elimination rounds.  She was around his age and cute too in his opinion.  The two had even accidentally gotten close, as one really big guy had bumped into her knocking her over.  Goku had caught her before she hit the ground, but now that he thought about it he had his hands on the side of her breasts.  At the time he didn't think anything of it but the girl was blushing furiously.  Yet, he blushed whenever looked at ChiChi…especially her breasts.  Could that mean that he liked her?  But Ox-King said that wasn't enough.  Love was what was needed.  But how do you know when you're in love?  These thoughts and more ran through Goku's mind as he turned his attention to a stuffed monkey that was sitting in a chair across from him.  "So?  Are you hungry?" ChiChi asked finally finding the courage to speak up and growing tired of the silence.

"Yeah." Goku said excitedly as his stomach growled showing that it too was in agreement.

"Good." ChiChi said as she hopped off the bed.  "Why don't you go to your room and get washed up?  I'll make breakfast and after that we can go to Kami's." ChiChi said walking to her door.  Goku nodded his head as he got out of the bed and gathered his things.  He grabbed his boots, his weighted shirt, and his orange shirt…but something was missing.  Goku looked at his wrists and realized that he wasn't wearing them.  Scratching his cheek lightly Goku tried to recall what he could've done with them last night.  "Is everything alright?" ChiChi asked as she walked back in the room.  Goku looked up surprised because he hadn't even noticed that she had left.

"Yeah." Goku said smiling sheepishly.  Looking over at ChiChi he noticed that she still had his wrist weights on.  'That's right.  ChiChi put them on last night.  Guess she forgot to take them off.' Goku thought as he eyed the bed.  Shrugging his shoulders Goku walked across the hallway and into his room.  ChiChi watched as Goku went across the hall and closed the door behind him and stood leaning against the doorframe thoughtfully.

"What was he thinking about?" ChiChi thought as her hands went to go play with her wristbands.  Instead of coming across a soft and elastic material she felt something that was a bit rougher and harder.  Looking down ChiChi saw instead of her red wristbands she saw Goku's blue wrist weights.  "I forgot to take them off." ChiChi gasped out.  "Guess I'll give them back to him later.  After taking a quick shower Goku was already dressed and heading downstairs.  Making his way to the kitchen Goku was shocked to find ChiChi already downstairs and cooking.  "Hello again." ChiChi chirped turning around to find a shocked Goku.  "What?"

"You're fast." Was all Goku could say as he walked over to ChiChi.  "Can…uh…I help you with anything?" Goku asked looking over ChiChi's shoulder.  She had just cracked some eggs and there was already bacon, sausage, ham, and a couple of chickens.

"No." ChiChi chirped as she continued cooking furiously for her father and former fiancee now boyfriend. 

"Uh…alright." Goku said sheepishly as he sat down at the table behind ChiChi.  Sitting down at the table Goku quickly looked ChiChi up and down.  She was wearing a small dark blue shirt with some khakis shorts on.  Goku couldn't help but smile happy to see that ChiChi was wearing her hair loose.  He didn't know why but he liked her that way.

"Breakfast is almost ready." ChiChi chirped turning around to look at Goku.  After receiving an approving smile she turned back to her task.  Goku frowned somewhat as he watched ChiChi continue cooking breakfast.  Truth was up on Kami's Lookout Mr. Popo always made sure that he had something to do whether it was training, meditating, and even doing his chores.  Having someone to cook and clean for him was something different, but it was something he could quickly get used to. 

"Good morning." Ox-King greeted as he walked into the kitchen smiling.

"Good morning, Papa." ChiChi greeted as she began to set food down on the table in front of a now drooling Goku.

"Morning." Goku said quickly as he never tore his eyes away from the food before him on the table.

"Oh…Goku.  Still here, huh?" Ox-King mumbled underneath his breath so that ChiChi couldn't hear him.  Goku would've heard him but his entire focus was still on the food.  "So how did you sleep last night, m'boy?" Ox-King asked taking a seat across from Goku.  Hearing the question ChiChi immediately froze in her actions afraid of what Goku would say.  ChiChi knew that Goku didn't mean anything wrong by sleeping with her, but her father wouldn't understand.

"Oh.  I slept great last night.  Thank you." Goku replied bowing his head.  ChiChi let out a very relieved sigh earning Goku's attention.

"Well that's good.  So what have you two decided to…do?" Ox-King asked looking at Goku carefully.

"Uh…well, I, that is we decided to wait." Goku answered honestly feeling very uncomfortable under the giant's gaze.

"That's good to hear." Ox-King said laughing in relief.

"Yeah, you made a good point last night, Daddy.  But Goku's going to stay here with us from now on." ChiChi said putting down the last of the breakfast.  "Goku's agreed to train me and he's going to summer school with me."

"Well more training?  That'll be great considering how quickly you caught onto the Kamehameha Wave, ne?" Ox-King said smiling proudly at Goku.  "So I guess you two will start right after breakfast?"

"No, not really." Goku said swallowing what food he had in his mouth.  ChiChi could only shake her head as she looked over and saw Goku's mouth covered in crumbs.

"What do you mean?"

"We're going to Kami's Lookout to get Goku's things." ChiChi stated matter-of-factly.

"Kami's…Lookout?" Ox-King asked doubtfully.  Both youths nodded their heads.  "As in 'the' Kami?  The god, Kami?" Ox-King asked again hoping that in his old age he wasn't just hearing things.

"Yeah, that's right Dad.  I didn't stutter did I?" ChiChi asked frowning at her father.  Goku watched on amused as he finished gobbling up his dinner.  "Goku trained with Kami for the last three years."

"Okay…if you say so." Ox-King said reluctantly. (Y/N: Can ya blame the guy? Would you believe anyone who said they were going to visit God?)

"Yes, Dad and I did say so." ChiChi said sternly feeling her patience waning.  "Once Goku finish up breakfast." ChiChi said smiling over at Goku but also giving him a look that said to speed it up.
