Disclaimer: I do not own Dragonball Z or the characters contained (ALL
except for Thrake ^_^). Somehow, I wish I was that creative. -_-;
Warning: There is cussing in this fanfic...that and it's my first one, so it probably just sucks. Be kind! Arigato!

Chapter 4 - An Argument Won
Chi Chi landed with nimbus in front of their house, jumping off and putting Goku's arm around her shoulder again. 'Come on Goku, I know you can do it' she whispered. She got him off of nimbus and started walking with him to the house. Goku was mumbling incoherent things and waving his left arm. Something happened, that was for sure, if only she just knew what. Suddenly, Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Vegeta all landed Vegeta and Gohan taking Goku out of Chi Chi's hands and taking him inside. Chi Chi watched them, just standing there. 'Oh God.' she thought to herself 'What do I do?' She trembled, not able to move from that spot.
"Mom..." Goten called, pulling at his mom's pant leg, "Mom, can we go inside?"
Chi Chi nodded blankly and Goten and Trunks ran inside. Vegeta walked out, standing in front of her. He shook her a little bit to snap her back into reality.
"Chi Chi, Kakarot will be fine. I had an extra senzu bean and we gave it to him." he placed his hand on her shoulder. "Go in, talk to him."
Chi Chi nodded, walking past him and into the house. 'Happy Birthday to me' she muttered under her breath and walked into their bedroom. Gohan, Goten, and Trunks all looked up at her, smiling just a little at how unorganized she looked. It was out of the ordinary for her to have messed up hair and unsituated clothes. But she did, and she didn't seem to care any. She looked at them, and they took it as their cue to leave. She sat on the bed next to Goku, tears flowing freely down her cheeks. He opened his eyes just a little, smiling at her. Placing his hand on her face and wiping the tears from her cheeks he sat up completely and opened his arms. Chi Chi fell into them, feeling him wrap his arms around her tightly and resting his head upon hers.
"I'm ok now Chi Chi." He whispered into her ear "See? I'm just as good as I was before. . ."
She looked up into his eyes, not being able to help but smile at the ridiculous grin on his face. "Goku, please tell me what happened." she pleaded, her eyes wide with concern.
"Um. . .well. . .um. . .actually. . .I don't know what happened exactly. . ." Goku said, rubbing the back of his head and trying to think. "All I remember is flying backwards, passing out. . .and a. . .big guy. . .named Thrake. . ." Goku's eyes widened.
"Goku, could this be. . .a new enemy?" Chi Chi asked, prying a little more than she should have.
"I'm pretty sure. He seemed pretty hell bent on my destruction." Goku said looking back down at Chi Chi. "I'm going to have to let everyone know, and go back into to training." He smiled, then immediately frowned.
"I'm coming with you this time." Chi Chi exclaimed suddenly. She cupped her mouth with her hand, looking at the worry come over Goku's face.
"You're not strong enough Chi Chi. You'd never make it if this guy knocked me completely out" Goku said, placing a hair in front of her face out of the way very gently.
"I'll train with you. Make me strong Goku, I'm tired of sitting and waiting, wondering if you're ok. It's time for me to fight." She said strongly, leaning closer to his face.
"I'm not going to win this one, am I?" he whispered, leaning in closer to her.
"Nope." She smiled, inches away from his face
"Then. . .we'll start. . .training. . .right after. . .we. . .spend some time together. . ." he said in a faint voice, pressing his lips against hers and placing his hand on the back of her head.
Gohan smiled in the doorway, it didn't bother him to see his parents kissing anymore. He chuckled and slowly closed the door behind him.

Thrake stumbled up the hill. It was getting more and more difficult to breathe on this god-forsaken planet. If only he could find the Extorite, he could restore his life energy. Damn that Goku, he was sure that Goku had it. But where. He bent down near the river and took a drink. It helped, but only a little. Thrake remembered being a little boy back on Trighte, his home planet, and hearing all the wonderful stories about the planet Earth. 'It's nothing but a waist. Nothing here to even be excited about. Except my Extorite' he thought hastily. He closed his eyes and took a small chunk of it out of his pocket. The pink and white swirls dance on the smooth round stone. Placing it in his mouth for only a second, it disappeared. 'Damn, that was my last piece. I have to find the rest of it'. He stood up.
"I will find it and then I will destroy this miserable planet and all that lives on it!" he cried out
He laughed hysterically, his maniacal laughter ringing out into the small city below.
