Promises-Chapter 8 Dragontwin/Kat
Chichi roared as Goku fell down for the twenty first time that morning. Since it was Goku's day off from training, they had decided to go ice skating, something Goku hadn't done since he was a child.
"Chi it's not funny," he whined from a sitting position, both arms behind him and legs flailing out in all directions.
"I'm sorry it's just that you're the strongest warrior in the universe and you can't even stand up! Imagine, being able to stand up in 150 x gravity and not being able to move on ice!" She glided over to where he was. "I find that funny." Goku growled a little.
"You would," he murmured under his breathe.
"What was that, High and Mighty One?" she mocked.
"I was just telling myself how beautiful you are and how lucky a man I am to have you…"
"Nice try, Slick." She twirled right in front of his face, rubbing it in.
"All right, come here!" She squealed as Goku got up on his feet and tried to chase her around the ice, which meant he fell down even more often. She was in stitches when Baba arrived.
"Goku, would you like to go back to the Living World for a day?" He turned around, surprised.
"Oh, hello Baba!" Goku's grin was infectious and she found herself half smiling as well.
"Go back to the Living World?" Chichi was curious. "You mean like Goku did for the World Tournament?"
"Only this time there isn't anyone out to conquer the universe, I don't think," Baba responded, amused at Chichi's naiveté. 'No wonder Goku and she are a couple.'
"Sounds like fun. What do you think Goku?" The tall Saiyan rubbed the back of his head, which still ached from falling down the last time.
"You would be able to meet your great-grandchildren. Everyone is gathering at Capsule Corporation for Shinou's birthday," Baba informed them.
"Well, I don't see why not," Goku said. "Besides, it'll be fun, right Chi?"
"Most definitely. Shinou's been looking forward to meeting you since I started to tell her bedtime stories starring you," Chichi remarked.
"Bedtime stories?" Goku was confused.
"She was over at my house all the time while her parents were out. A lot of the times she ended up staying the night. She's accustomed to bedtime stories. Her mother started to tell them about you, and then Shinou started to ask me about you…and now it's a tradition of sorts." Goku blushed.
"I guess you did think of me while I was away, huh?"
"All the time." Baba was getting impatient.
"Are you ready to go yet?" Both of the Sons turned and faced the witch. Goku embraced Chichi from behind and Baba nodded.
**Capsule Corporation**
"Remember you two. You have just twenty four hours until you must return to the Other World." Both of the Sons nodded and exchanged a kiss before they went to knock on the door.
"Thanks Baba," Goku called over his shoulder as the door opened. Baba shook her head and flew off.
An aging Vegeta opened the door, irritated. "We're not interested in buying anything. Go away or I'll blast you into the next dimension!"
"Wow Vegeta. I just got back from Other World. You don't have to be rude all of a sudden." Vegeta looked up and smirked.
"Kakarott. It's nice to see you here. Perhaps we'll have time to spar after Shinou's party." Chichi looked Vegeta up and down. He hadn't changed that much since she had seen him last. There was no gray hair, no sign of muscle decay. Meanwhile, Goku reflected that Vegeta had sure mellowed out over the years.
"VEGETA! Who's at the door?" The Saiyan winced. Bulma's piercing voice still irritated his sensitive hearing.
"Kakarott and his woman!" He shouted back. There was a pounding of feet and around the corner came three women. Bra, Pan, and Bulma all came around to see if Vegeta was loosing his mind, or if Goku and Chichi had really returned.
"CHICHI!" Bulma yelled. The two women ran into the middle of the room and embraced, tears streaming down her face. Just as they were hugging, Pan realized what was happening.
"Grandpa! I can't believe you're really here," she whispered and hugged his wide chest.
"Hello Panny-chan. Chichi tells me we're here for a birthday party. Where's the lucky little lady?" Goku's voice was kind and brought Pan back to reality.
"She's in the kitchen, looking at her cake. Gogeta should be here shortly. Speaking of the devil," she muttered to herself. The door slammed and Gogeta entered Capsule Corp.
"Hello everyone," he called out in Goku like voice. "Miss me?" Then he saw Goku and Chichi. His jaw dropped.
"Gogeta," Pan said proudly, "These are my grandparents, Goku and Chichi. You know Chichi, obviously, but I don't think you've ever met Grandpa or seen them together." He shook his head.
"Nice to meet you, sir," Goku nodded and the two shook hands firmly. Goku was surprised.
"That's funny Panny-chan. I thought you wouldn't train your children. He's remarkably strong."
"What you are forgetting, Kakkarott, is that he is my grandson, and he spends time with me." Goku laughed.
"Oh, that's right Vegeta." The proud Saiyan glared in return.
A/N: The party's off to a good start, but Goku still hasn't met the birthday girl and Goten and Bra have not yet arrived. Stay tuned for scenes from the next exciting episode of "Promises".
Next time:
"You hand that over Tombra! It's my birthday!"
A demi-Saiyan battle rages on, NEXT TIME ON PROMISES!
