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!
YAY Reviewies! Ok, thanks to everyone that's reviewed. . .here's the scoop.
Polka Dot: Yes he did hehe and what a fun way to make it prettier!
Lady Nightshade: All I can tell you is that you'll see. He's a typical very angry DBZ enemy -_-;;; bent on revenge and taking over the world. It'll all tie together in the end.
Leigh: Thank you so much! Ask and you shall receive!
mAc Chaos: Thank you for pointing out something I already knew. Just remember, this is fan FICTION and I can make it whatever I want *sticks her tongue out anime style at you*
This chapter I actually wrote the old fashion way, go figure that. 5 college ruled pages and 4 aspirin for sore hand later, here it is, I really like it, and it concentrates a lot on the romance aspect of the story. Enjoy!

Chapter 5 - A Lesson and A Gift
"Again" he said sternly. He stood, arms crossed, not looking like he was moving any time soon. The progress she had made was amazing. Over the last two weeks all she had wanted to do was train. She didn't even take the time to cook like she always used to. Goku smiled at as he thought about how hard she had worked. It was that determination that he always admired about her, she just never really had anywhere to put it.
'Nowhere, heh. She's got something to do with it now doesn't she?' he mused to himself.
She would need it too. Goku had fought Thrake before he fled. He seemed much weaker than he was before, even though he could still easily overpower Goku. It worried him, but he hoped that Thrake's downfall in power continued. Not a single person but Goku could believe what Chi Chi had accomplished. Not only had she perfected flying, but she finally learned how to control her ki. Now it just was a matter of getting stronger.
She formed several ki balls and threw them straight up into the air. Breathing heavily, she brushed the hair out of her face. It had long falling out of the neat bun she usually had it in. She kicked at an imaginary enemy and let out a rather loud yell that even took Goku off guard. Suddenly she turned, firing a large ki beam directly at Goku's head. He easily dodged it, letting it singe the flowers in her garden. She stopped and watched them wither and burn.
"Chi Chi! What the holy hell are you doing?" He yelled angrily, standing directly in front of her.
"Goku, I'm tried, I'm hungry, and I seriously don't think I'm ever going to be ready." She said with hints of dejection and disappointment in her voice.
Goku's face softened. She had been working extremely hard. He placed his hand on her shoulder, leaning into her as close as he could and whispered, "Catch me, that is, if you can" and took off into the sky, laughing and smiling.
She watched him, let out a noise that was half giddy pleasure and half annoyance and took off after him. He saw her coming up behind him, and he laughed loudly.
"Wow Chi Chi, you sure are fast!" he laughed, taunting her a little doing a spin in midair.
Chi Chi let out a low growl coming from the bottom of her throat. He waved and smiled, flying faster than she could ever hope to achieve. She could barely see him in the distance soon. Suddenly, she felt. . .tickling. . .from underneath her. Her entire body shook with laughter as she looked down, throwing her arms around her husband who now lied below her. They fell towards the Earth until just a few inches from the surface where they hovered for a few moments before softly hitting the ground. They kissed, full of passion and love, something they hadn't done since her birthday. After several moments they pulled away from each other. A smile spread quickly across Chi Chi's face as she scrunched her nose, standing up and looking up at the bright blue sky. Goku stood behind her, his arms wrapped tightly across her waist.
"Chi Chi, you are learning quickly and gaining power faster than anyone ever imagined." Goku said quietly. "Thrake is losing power. I noticed it when I fought with him."
Chi Chi softly gasped. She turned around to face Goku, his face looked extremely serious.
"If that continues, we will have no problems beating him together." He looked down at her, a small smile beginning to form across his face. "You'll be ready."
She smiled. If Goku thought she could do it, then she had to do it. The last thing she wanted to do was let him down. Suddenly, he took her hand, leading her into the forest.
"I never got the chance to give you your birthday present." He beamed.
Chi Chi looked puzzled but laughed as she allowed herself to be drug along Goku's side. He suddenly dropped her hand, looking very confused. He walked towards some bushed and pulled them back revealing a beautiful heart shaped rock, about half the height and twice the width of him. She squealed happily, running up and touching the smooth surface, marveling at the pink and white swirls and giggling at the words "I love you" carved on the front. She looked up at Goku to thank him, her smile fading upon seeing the confused look on his face.
"Goku, what's wrong?" she asked clinging to his arm. "I love it. . ."
"IT SHRUNK!" he interrupted, seemingly quite dumbfounded.
"It. . .shrunk?" Chi Chi asked, sure that Goku had lost it.
"It was 4 times this big Chi Chi, honest it was! I had to climb on top of it to carve it!" he replied scratching his head in the usual manner.
"Goku, it's really ok. . .it probably is just like," Chi Chi struggled for an explanation "maybe it's an old sea sponge or something and lost all it's water while petrifying and shrunk?" She shook her head, he would never buy that.
"Yeah, maybe you're right" he replied, shrugging the confusion off.
*Chi Chi sweatdrop* 'That's my Goku. . .' she thought.
"Well, I love it and it's just the perfect size for me, don't you think?" she smiled, hugging his arm and smiling up at him.
He nodded, smiling back down at her. He walked over to it, and picked it up. However, when he did, a large piece broke off the back of it, falling to the ground. He cried out, upset that for all the work he put into it, now it was breaking?!
"I ruined it!" he exclaimed, both angry and heartbroken.
Chi Chi looked at it and smiled, touching where the piece had fallen out. "No! No look, that made it smoother back here see? It was probably supposed to fall off." She said, running his hand across the back of it.
"You. . .you're sure you like it?" he asked, looking down on her with worried eyes.
"I'm positive that I love it." She leaned up on her toes, kissing him soft and quickly.
The smile returned to his face. "Well then," he said looking towards the broken piece. "What should we do with that?"
"It's so beautiful, let's leave it here for someone to find. It'll make someone really happy." She replied, a sparkle in her eye, giggling softly.
Goku chuckled. The sparkle in her eyes and the smile on her face made her glow. Glow the way she had always used to. It was something he hadn't seen in a long time. He kissed her, putting one arm around her and another around the present and as quick as ever, took off for home, leaving the one single piece of the shiny rock. . .behind.
