"Would you like to come home with us?"
Her stance faltered slightly in surprise. She looked sidelong at the young Saiyajin. Her eyebrow quirked up and an ear twitched towards him, "After all that I've put you through? Aren't you worried that I might attack you or something?" Her tail tip tapped the ground slowly.
"Naw, you just attacked in self-defense! Plus you have no evil in you." Goku answered, his face as cheerful and open as ever.
Her ears perked up, "Really, how can you tell?" She unconsciously uncrossed her arms.
Goku grinned, "That's easy, I can sense you Ki and see it in your eyes."
Brenna's eyes widened, "Wow! Can you teach me to do that??"
"Sure! But we should probably get home before Chichi gets worried."
"Yeah, mom won't be happy that we ran off either.." Gohan worried.
"Don't worry, son! The worst that could happen is that she refuses to give.. us.. lunch... Uh oh, I forgot to catch some fish at the creek for lunch!" Goku smacked himself. Brenna winced slightly as she watched.
"I can get some fish if you need fish. " She offered hesitantly.
Goku instantly cheered up, "Great! We'll help you catch them.. Ehehe.. We kinda need a lot." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
Brenna shrugged, "That's fine. I'm not going swimming though..." She warned, shuddering in spite of herself.
"Okay." Goku shrugged. He teleported them over to the creek behind the house.
Brenna immediately scampered onto a fallen log and got down to business. She watched the stream intently for a moment; then swiped at the water suddenly. A very nice five-pound fish went sailing through the air and onto the bank. She ran after it and clubbed it smartly with a small rock.
"Not bad. But that's only a snack." Goku commented, "Here, I'll show you how big they need to be." He took his shirt off and grabbed a long stick, which he sharpened to a point. He waded till he was in waist-deep water and watched for shadows. A large shape slowly moved up behind him. Brenna had just begun a warning when he spun quickly and stabbed the shape, lifting it into the air in a spray of water. The makeshift weapon bent under the strain of the creature.
"This should be enough for the first course," he announced cheerfully as he tossed the fifty-pound fish high onto the shore. Gohan ran towards it and smashed a fist into its skull. It shuddered and lay still, felled by the concussion of the blow. Brenna stared in shocked amazement at the gargantuan beast and the two Saiyajins.
Gohan looked worriedly over at Goku, "Dad, we need at least two more this size!" He said.
Goku flung another fish, this time a fifty-five pound, onto the bank. "Don't worry! It's about spawning time for these guys right now. There'll be plenty for lunch. Hey, we might even have leftovers this time!"
"MIGHT have leftovers?!" Brenna sat down in shock; she looked over at her fish, and then back at the other fish caught. 'This much fish could feed me for three months, and that's if I feast every day!' she thought to herself.
Goku quickly caught the last fish and he and Gohan flew Brenna back to the house with all the fish in tow.
