Chp. 4 ~ Over and Out
"General Kakarot," Vegeta answered, "our planet has declared war on Frieza and his forces. Our army back home is dwindling in size and we need as many new recruits as possible. I am ordering you to return to Vegetasei and train some more soldiers. Frieza's army is enormous; he's been collecting allies from dozens of planets. You are to – "
"Goku. Goku! What's taking so long?" questioned an impatient feminine voice. Chi Chi had just popped into view with a towel wrapped around her.
" - Kakarot! I demand to know what that insolent human female is doing interrupting our conversation!" shouted an angry Vegeta. "Wait a minute," he said, noticing that the only thing she had on was a towel. "Ha! Kararot, you dirty dog! I never thought I'd see the day! Although I must say that I am rather disgusted that you have chosen a weak human as your mate!"
Normally, Chi Chi would've beaten the tar out of anyone who called her weak. However, she'd heard plenty about Vegeta's ruthless nature from Goku and she wasn't about to make him mad!
"Oh come on, Vegeta. She's my wife!" explained Goku.
"What ever you say, Kakarot. No more interruptions. As I was saying, you are also to gather allies from other planets. Make sure all of them are worthy of fighting on our side. Planet Vegeta is counting on you, Kakarot. Don't screw this up or I'll have your head, got it?!"
"Yes, Sir. I will do my best to help our planet," Goku replied, resuming his professional role.
"Very well. I'll be expecting your arrival shortly." With that the screen went blank and disappeared with a 'vizzz ... pop!' sound.
"So what's going on?" Chi Chi asked as Goku put away his communicator. She was now dressed and sitting by the fire combing out her hair.
"Well, I kinda have some bad news." he said, taking a seat next to her. "Ya see, I have to go back to my home planet because we're going to war against Frieza." Goku cringed while Chi Chi milled it all over in her mind. He was afraid of how she'd react.
"What?! You mean to tell me that we have to go to some far-off place and have a war right in the middle of our honeymoon?!" She yelled.
"Um, actually, Chi Chi, it'd be better if you stayed on earth." he said, fighting the urge to dive behind a nearby rock.
"WHAT?! Why should I stay here? This is our honeymoon! We're supposed to spend time together!" She ranted on and on until she was totally out of breath.
"Well, there's something going on back home; it just wouldn't be safe for you."
"Not safe? Not safe?! You're the one who's not going to be safe, Buster! If I don't go, you'll be in for it when you get back! Besides, I'll have you to protect me if anything happens, right?"
Oh man, but what if I don't come back? Then maybe I should let her come with me. Goku thought to himself.
"Okay, Chi. If you promise that you'll stay close to me the whole time, then I guess you can come with me."
"Good, that's what I thought." she replied, her tone of voice softer and a smile on her lips.
Those lips … he wanted to feel their softness again. He leaned in closer to her and kissed her. She hesitated only for a second before her arms entwined around his neck. He parted her teeth with his tongue, running it along the inside of her cheek. It tickled her mouth and she laughed. He was so cute when he tried to be romantic.
But, she was more in the mood for humor than romance at the moment. She took in a deep breath through her nose and blew the air out of her mouth and into his. Goku's cheeks puffed up like balloons! It was too much. She broke the kiss, laughing hysterically. He sat there with cheeks like a blowfish, thinking. So she wants to play it like that, eh? He reached over and tickled her sides, making her laugh even harder. They rolled off the log they'd been sitting on and collapsed on the grass, laughing and trying to get their breathing under control.
"We'd better go to bed, there's a long trip ahead of us."
"Yeah, good idea. About how long would you say the trip will take?" she asked
"Well, if we leave tomorrow I'd say it'll be about … a year." he answered.
"A year? No way!"
"Ha ha!" Goku snorted. "Actually, with all this new technology, it'll probably only take us a couple of days to reach Vegetasei."
"I think I can handle that," she replied, standing up and brushing the dirt off her clothes. "What about dinner?" she said turning to look at the fish they had been cooking. "Hey, where'd it go?" When she looked to Goku for an answer, she got one. He was smiling and he had his hand behind his head. "Oh, I see."
"Sorry, Chi, I would've saved you some, but I was really hungry!" Goku explained through a mouthful of fish.
"Don't talk with your mouth full, and that's alright, I'm not very hungry anyway," she told him, ruffling his hair.
They put out the fire and headed into their tent. Everything was already so conveniently set up. All they had to do was hop into their sleeping bags. The two newly weds snuggled up close to each other, Goku sliding an arm around Chi Chi's waist and his tail hugged her thigh. "Good night, Goku," she cooed.
"Night, Chi," he replied. "I love you."
Her insides melted. "I love you too, Goku." A happy tear ran down her cheek as she closed her eyes. Within minutes, both were fast asleep.
