She stared at him, shocked; this was the first time since they'd known each other that he had left her speechless.

'I beg your pardon?'

'I- well, it would help me out a lot if you went on a date with me.' Goku sputtered. 'Like training. You still like to train, right?'

'Yes, but a date? Are you sure?'

'Yes, I'm sure. Please, Vegan?'

'I don't know, kakarotto.'

'You're my only hope.'

'I don't think-'

'No, never mind. It's ok.'

'No, it's not.'

'What do you mean?'

'I said I would help, and that's what I'm going to do.'

'Really?!' He scooped her up in his arms for a crushing embrace. 'You're amazing!'

'You're crushing me!'

'Sorry.' He let her go, though his fingers still held her narrow waist. 'I really appreciate this! Chi Chi's party-'

'You can't take a date to your wife's birthday party!' Vegan laughed.

'Oh.'

'Second, you won't be able to learn with everyone hovering around us. And third, we both know if I show up, it will make everyone uneasy. What I did, I'm on persona non grata until further notice. Besides, we should meet up at a neutral place.'

'Like where?'

'I don't know; you're the one asking me.'

'What's that got to do with it?'

'Well, Bloomer was usually the one who planned the dates.'

'I don't know how to plan a date!'

She sighed and rubbed her eyes, 'i'll call you in a week-'

'Can't I call you?'

'I don't have my phone; I left all those things at Capsule Corp.'

'Why?'

'I'm leaving Earth.'

'Why?'

'To give everyone a break from me.'

'Who needs a break from you?'

'The entire planet; I'm a blight to you and your friends.'

'Not to me. Wait, where are you living?'

'Nowhere, really.'

'You can live in Grandpa's hut-'

'I can't accept your charity-'

'Well, harvest is approaching; you could help me with that.'

'Oh, that's perfect. That could be our date.'

'Picking vegetables?'

'Yes, it'd be perfect; you hate dressing up. It's the ideal date for you.'

'Why?'

'You hate dressing up, and from what I gleaned about you over the years, you don't like elaborate gatherings. You have to let your partner feel comfortable with themselves and you.'

'Ok. I was going to harvest my veggies tomorrow-'

'Great, I will get my things from capsule corp.'
