Hello and thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your awesome reviews! Especially those who reviewed every chapter! hint, hint … You guys are great! ^^ This is going to be quite an author's note. I've very many things to say. First of all, I must apologize for my extremely long gap between the updating of this chapter. I know you've all heard it a million times and are probably sick of hearing it, but I've truly have been very busy with school, homework, and diving practice. However the season is finally over, and it's the weekend! Not just any weekend, but a three-day weekend. Plenty of time for studies AND writing! I realized that I forgot to say something on an earlier chapter or two. I didn't put a disclaimer saying that I don't own Ball Z or anything. I don't really care about it. If you want to sue me, go right ahead. You won't get a cent. I'm completely broke. There's a warning for this chapter. There won't be a lemon, but it will get a bit limey … just so you know. This is entirely my story. Keep in mind that is an A/U. The character's names, features, clothing and basic existence are mine to do what I wish with them. As always, if you have any questions or suggestions just ask me or tell me in a review or email me and I'll try to get back to you. ^_~ Thanks to my sister for beta'ing this. Her Pen Name is 'Onna Vegeta'. She has one story out called 'Dreams Can Really Affect Your Life'. It's pretty darn good, funny too. You should read it. During the uploading of this chapter, the section dividers (~~~~~~ and ****) all moved to the left. It doesn't affect the story in any way, I just don't think it looks very good. But I suppose that's too bad for me. I THINK that's everything. Here's 5!

On the BattlefrontChp. 5 ~ Take Off, Destination: Vegetasei
They awoke to the singing of the birds. The sun hadn't even risen as they began to pack up their things. Tents went back in capsules, clothes went back in duffle bags, and sleep slipped from heavy eyelids.
"What would you like for breakfast?" Chi Chi asked. "I could make pancakes, French toast, scrambled eggs – "
"Well, actually, I think we should have something quick like granola bars or Pop Tarts☻or something like that," answered Goku.
"Oh," she said, a bit disappointed. I was looking forward to making a nice, big honeymoon breakfast, hmpf.
"King Vegeta would be awfully mad if I was late just because my appetite got in the way," he explained.
"It's okay, I understand." Chi Chi and Goku ate a quick breakfast and crammed all they could into a storage capsule.
"Ah, good thing we got a new box of capsules from Bulma before we left. This spaceship capsule will be perfect to take us to Vegetasei!" he exclaimed. He pressed the button on top of the capsule numbered 17 and erected a very large and very technical looking spaceship.
"Wow, that's quite a spaceship," Chi Chi said, eyes wide. Goku pushed a button on the side of the ship and a ramp folded out.
"Let's go inside. C'mon!" He said dragging her in by the hand. He ran back out to grab their bags and found her standing in the same spot when he came back in. The inside of the ship was amazing. It was full of control panels and more gadgets than even Dr. Brief 's workshop. "Here's the main control panel and the oxygen level monitor. Oh and this over here is the gravity room!" said a beaming Goku.
"Oh no! Let me guess, your gonna be in there the whole time!" shouted Chi Chi.
"Well, not the whole time," he corrected. "I'll have to train to get stronger for the battle against Frieza. But, I'll come out to eat and go to the bathroom at least," he said, smiling sheepishly.
"Ugh!" She said, her head falling into her hands. It's a lost cause. That man is going to train no matter what. Unless … "Oh Goku!" she chanted. "If you don't spend at least six hours a day with me, you're sleeping on the couch, mister! I won't be cooking anything for you, either."
"Aw, but, Chi Chi, I really need to train. You should see the training exercises Frieza's guys do! If I don't train, I'll be no match for them." He tried to convince her, but it didn't seem to be working.
"Listen, six hours isn't that long. Besides, you're already one of the strongest warriors in the universe, right? I promise you won't regret it," she said, stepping closer to him.
"I – well – I uh – um … " he trailed off, his voice catching in his throat as he felt her body brush against his. She pushed him backwards and he fell into the captain's chair. She straddled his lap and whispered in his ear. "Take me to the stars, Captain," (so what if I stole that line from Titanic ^^)
"Y-yes, M-ma'am," he stuttered. He fumbled around with the control panel until he found the lift off button. The ship's engine roared and the air valves closed. The electricity came on as the walls shook. Chi Chi tumbled off Goku's lap and scrambled to the window. The trees and the lake were getting smaller and smaller as their craft rose higher into the air.
"Oh wow! We're leaving, we're really leaving! We're actually going into space!" Chi Chi said.
"Yeah, isn't it amazing?" Goku asked as he slid his arms around her waist.
"Uh … huh," she said between ragged breaths. He nibbled her earlobe and turned her around to face him. He lowered his lips to hers, capturing them in a gentle kiss. But Chi Chi pushed him away. "Hey, wait a sec." She took a step back, undoing a few more buttons on her blouse, giving her new husband quite a view. "There, that's better," she said, smiling seductively. She let him oogle her goodies for a moment before grabbing the hypnotized Goku by the hand and pulling him to the couch.
Snapping out of his daze, Goku picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. "Ah, ah, ah," he said tauntingly. "I have a better idea!" He ran to the bedroom and tossed Chi Chi on the bed. She yelped in mock terror as he pounced on her, attacking her mouth. She ran her tongue across his lips, timidly asking for entrance. He willingly granted it, wondering just how bold she would be. Chi Chi was completely overwhelmed by delicious sensations coursing through her body, sensations that she had felt once before … She deepened the kiss, suddenly wanting to fulfill her craving. No stupid beepers were going to get in her way this time!
Chi Chi pushed Goku down, so that he was lying on his back. She laid her head on his chest, feeling it rise and fall with every breath. Her breathing had begun to slow as well. However, it would not soon return to normal. Goku turned to look at her, his charcoal eyes burning into hers of ebony. He buried his face in the crook of her neck, nuzzling her velvety skin. She let out a small moan, but he continued his ministrations. He moved his way to her creamy shoulder, planting feathery kisses along the way. Meanwhile, his other hand was cleverly undoing all of the buttons on her blouse. His mouth burned a trail of fire across her collar bone, and down to her lush breasts.
By now, her breathing was anything but normal. Goku took hold of her bra with his teeth and tore it clean off. He's just so full of surprises! ^_^ Chi Chi gasped as the cool air hit her skin, turning it into gooseflesh. He took a rosy peak in his mouth, teasing it with his tongue until she buried her hands in his hair, twisting it around her fingers. She was finding it quite difficult to control herself. Every lick, nip, tug and pull sent a bolt of electricity shooting through her body.
He brought his face back up to hers, kissing her angel soft lips, now lush with anticipation. He ran his skillful hands over her shoulders, massaging them and relaxing her taught muscles. Oh, yes, he knew what he was doing. She writhed beneath him, exciting his senses far more than he ever imagined. Chi Chi managed to escape his hold on her and climb astride his waist. For a moment, she simply gazed at him, unable to comprehend is source of power. He truly was a beautiful person, inside and out. She began brushing her fingers across the skin of his chest. T'was so soft that she eventually allowed her whole palm to rest on him. Goku thought she looked very cute, wearing such a look of concentration and bewilderment.
Chi Chi leaned down and pressed the softness of her chest into his, arching her back and melting into him. He wrapped his arms around her waist, trying, if possible, to bring her closer to him. He stroked her back, making lazy circles with his finger. Her breathing slowly returned to normal, setting itself at an even pace. He peered at her face to see her expression. It turned out to be just the one he was hoping for. No, it was not a look of anticipation. Nor was it one of passion. It was not even one of happiness. It was the serene expression one wears while they sleep. Yes, Goku's beloved had fallen asleep on him. Oh good, she's finally asleep. Now maybe I can get some training done. I guess six hours a day with Chi isn't so much to ask. Especially if those six hours are spent like this! Goku, you little pervert! ^_~

Chi Chi awoke to find herself alone in the bed. That stupid monkey, he did it on purpose! He's probably eating all our food, or worse. Training! A heavy thump and grunting noises confirmed her suspicions. Oh no. How could he, and after he promised. Okay so maybe he didn't actually agree, but I'd say it was close enough, she thought smirking. Chi Chi looked over at the clock. Whoa, I slept for hours. I even missed lunch. I guess the monkey's expecting me to fix dinner for him. She got up and took a shower, then threw on some clothes and untorn undergarments. Then she headed to the kitchen.
Meanwhile, in the gravity room … Goku was doing one-handed push-ups in 100x earth's normal gravity. Then he went on to do some crunches while hanging from the ceiling. "Must get stronger, have to defeat Frieza, gotta save home planet," Goku grunted, pushing himself to the limit. After another grueling hour … the Gravity Room door opened with a loud hiss and sweaty, spandex-clad Goku strolled out with a towel around his neck. "Woo wee! That was quite a workout! And I'm starving!"
"Here, Goku, come sit down. I made you a nice, big dinner," she said. But before he could take his seat, she grabbed her nose saying, "Eww, Pee yuu! Before you even think about eating anything, you need a shower!" She shooed him off, inwardly laughing at his antics.
He turned on the steaming water, letting it rinse the tension away. He may not have been the brightest crayon in the box, but he knew the seriousness of his situation. A tremendous battle was approaching. It could not be ignored that their new happy life together was greatly being threatened. He rinsed the last of the shampoo from his unruly hair and turned off the water. He toweled off, dressed and headed back to the kitchen.
"Ooh, chicken teriyaki, my favorite!" he exclaimed, shoveling down his food. They'd finally sat down and enjoyed a nice meal together, however, Chi Chi was left with the cleanup. Of course, Goku went back to get some more training in before bed. She went to their bedroom and plopped down on the bed. She was too tired to even put pajamas on and was asleep within minutes. During the night, she felt something stir next to her. It was Goku, having finished his training only moments ago.

"We are now entering Planet Vegeta's atmosphere. Touchdown will be in ten minutes. Secure all loose items and make sure airlock is closed." The computer's voice boomed over the speakers. "I repeat. Now entering Planet Vegeta's atmosphere. Secure loose items and close airlock."
Goku was the first one to wake up. Oh wow, we're here already? Awesome! He shook Chi Chi, trying to awaken her. "Chi, hey, Chi. Wake up, we're gonna be landing soon."
"Hmm, mm, mm. Huh?" she said, still drowsy.
"Get up, we're gonna be landing soon," he replied.
"Yeah, okay," she said, rolling back on her side. "Really? Lemme see!" she exclaimed once she was fully awake. Once again she shot over to the window and pressed her nose against the glass. "I don't see anything. It's just a bunch of blackness out there."
"I guess we're not close enough to see anything yet," he replied. "I'd say we've got about five minutes 'til we land. Oh wait, do you see that? There it is! It's Vegetasei! I'm home! Yay!" Goku shouted and danced around the ship. "Get ready! We're in for a rough landing!"

How did you like it? Too long, too short? You tell me, you're the reviewers. I promise that I will TRY to get the next chapter up much, much sooner than this one. I'll TRY. However, I've another story that I am currently working on called "We All Make Mistakes". Like this fic, I originally posted it over the summer and it was removed for the rating. I am working on chapter three and I hope to post at least the first two chapters some time next weekend. For this story, I have seven chapters written and five chapters posted including this one. The story will continue, I can promise you that much.
Thank you for listening to my horrid rambling. If you could just do one more thing for me … it's a tongue-twister. Say it three times fast, but unfortunately, you can only do it once a chapter.
RESPONSIBLE READERS REVIEW! Do as it says ... review! ^^
