Disclaimer: Why are you talking to me? Go away you evil lawyer people!
Goku paced around Bulma's lab. "So, what you're saying is, the alien was near my house." Bulma nodded. "Uh huh." "And it was bathing in Violet Lake." "Uh huh." "And Chi Chi walked up on him." "Uh huh." "So…" Bulma peeked at him, she knew what he was going to ask. "What happened between them?" "I can't say Goku," He looked at her curiously. "Ok… so…. what's up with Chi Chi's head?" "I'm still trying to work out the info. on that. I should be able to talk to Chi Chi when she wakes up," she said as she looked over at her friend on the medi-bed. "That machine radiates brain waves that should break down whatever barrier is keeping her out." Goku nodded. "So… what happened between them?" "Goku," "Ok, ok." Goku frowned and looked around the room. "Do you know what the alien looks like?" "I should when Chi Chi wakes up I'll have her explain it to me in full detail." "Oh, ok." There was a long pause before Goku asked, "So… what happened between them?" "Goku!" "Bulma please!" He latched onto her arm as tight as he could without hurting her. "You don't know how this feels for me! First, my wife ends up with this terrible migraine and she can't stand, then I find out that not only have the aliens been on earth, but one of them was near my house and had some kind of interaction with my wife which made her this way!" Bulma could see tears gathering in his eyes. "Bulma, whatever you're not telling me can't possibly be worse than what I'm imagining." Bulma looked down. The desperation in his voice was heart-wrenching, but she couldn't do it, she just couldn't. She looked away. "I'm sorry, Goku." Goku looked down as one tear got free and ran down his cheek. "Chi Chi can tell you when she wakes up." Goku nodded but still didn't look at her. Bulma sighed. There were ups and downs to being best friends to both halves of a married couple. Goku walked over to the medi-bed and stroked Chi Chi's cheek. Bulma watched him look at her lovingly and overheard him whisper to her, "I'll get whoever did this to you. I swear." Bulma watched him sympathetically as he walked over and sat on one of the lab tables. Bulma walked over to him and rubbed his arm as he put his head in his hands. "Goku?" Bulma asked. "Bulma… I feel so… lost." "Lost?" Bulma asked. Goku raised his head and looked at her. "My wife is laying there in practically a coma and there's nothing I can do… After all the training I've done, there nothing I can do…" Bulma sighed. "It's like… it's like I kept her safe from Radditz, Garlic Jr., and Turles... thank kami, that probably wouldn't have turned out well. Then this alien comes, I can't sense him… and now she's lying there in a coma! Drifting through her own body not knowing which way is up or down… and after all I've done… I can't help her." Goku sobbed and put his head back into his hands. Bulma, not really knowing what to say, put her head down to face the floor. Suddenly, Goku got up and stalked over to Chi Chi. He pushed the front part of her skirt to the side and looked carefully at her legs. Bulma questionably looked at him. "Goku, what are you doing?" Goku's eyes were serious as he picked up her left leg and carefully looked under it. "I'm trying to figure out what this thing did to my wife." After his thorough inspection, he sat in a chair near the medi-bed and sighed. Bulma looked at her watch and sighed. "Well, Goku, it's late. She should be up in the morning and the sooner you go to sleep, the sooner you'll see her, ok?" Goku looked at her and nodded. "There's a guest bedroom right across the hall, good night Goku." "Good night Bulma… and thanks." Bulma smiled and nodded before turning to leave. But before she went she picked up a small ear device, an alien alarm, and stuck it in her ear before leaving the room. Goku put his arms on the medi-bed and put his chin on his arms. How could he go sleep in a room a hall away when his wife was lying here in a coma and it was his fault? He shook his head while thinking, 'I failed to protect her once, I'm not going to fail her again.' He crawled onto the medi-bed and put his arms around his wife. She stirred slightly and he watched her with undying love in his eyes. "It's ok, Chi Chi, I got you, and I'm not letting you go." He clutched her tightly as he closed his eyes. For some reason he didn't feel like sleeping. So he let his mind drift off to memories in hopes that it would help him sleep.
He remembered a little while before Gohan was born when Chi Chi had driven her aircar off to get groceries as he trained. He was on his 6,064th pushup when the phone rang. Taking mental note of the number, he ran to the phone and answered it. "Mr. Son?" "Yeah?" "This is Dr. Reeves from the Satan City Hospital." Goku's eyes narrowed, why were they calling him? "Um… yes well, there was unfortunately a small accident here in town today… and I'm sorry to say that your wife Mrs. Son was in it." Goku's world stopped. There was a long pause until Goku shook his head back into his senses and said, "What?" Goku didn't even wait for the next sentence, he had already dropped the phone and was flying to the hospital. By the time he got there, Dr. Reeves was standing in front of the receptionist desk, expecting that since he got off the phone in such a hurry, he would be on his way over. Goku walked in and looked around, searching for any clues as to where his wife might be. "Mr. Son, I presume?" "Where's Chi Chi?" "I will take you to her but first we must have a little chat-" Goku picked the doctor up by the front of his shirt and brought him to his eye level. "I do not want to talk, do you understand me? You will take me to her now or you will move aside and I will find her myself. No matter what happens, in the next 60 seconds I WILL be by her side… do you understand me?" Dr. Reeves blinked. He usually got guests like this, but none seemed as threatening as this man. His fists were clinched tight together and his eyes seemed so… deadly. Usually Dr. Reeves would try to calm the person down, but this guy…
He just seemed scary…
"Um… Ok Mr. Son. Right this way." After Goku put him down, he quickly led him to the elevator and pushed the number 6 on the control panel. He couldn't help but wish that the elevator would go faster, it scared him being in such a closed space with such a seemingly scary man. Goku continually growled to himself… Why is this elevator going so slow? Finally, after many moments of tense silence, there was a ding and the elevator doors slowly opened. Goku marched out ahead of the doctor and stalked down the hall. "Um… sir, you don't know where you're going!" Dr. Reeves went running by Goku trying to remind him that he should follow him. Goku ignored him, his eyes scanning around for whatever door held his wife. He walked to one door, and Dr. Reeves was in front of him, Why is he still talking? He picked him up by the back of his coat and threw him to the side. Then, he slowly opened the door, almost afraid of what he would find. As he peeked his head in the door, there he saw his Chi Chi, looking frighteningly small beside all those large machines. Her eyes were closed, it seemed as if she were in an uneasy sleep. The aggravating doctor came bumbling in, muttering something about 'rude guests'. Goku, never removing his eyes from his wife, raised his open palm to the doctor's face. He shut up instantly. He didn't know why he was so scared of a hand, it wasn't like Mr. Son could shoot things from it or anything. Goku slowly moved towards his wife and sat on the very edge of the bed. "Chi Chi?" he whispered. Chi Chi did not move. Goku looked towards the doctor and spoke one deadly word. "Talk." Dr. Reeves immediately threw himself into his explanation. "Well you see she hit her head and, we looked at it and we found out that she bruised and scarred a very important part of her brain." Goku raised his eyebrow looking as if he were saying, 'Give me some good news now or you won't live to see the else.' "She's living!" the doctor explained quickly. "But, you're going to have to make some changes from now on…"
Goku remembered learning that if Chi Chi got too upset, her brain would just shut off, causing her to go into a dead faint. It made her much different than when she was little, and it also made everyone watch what was said or done around her, due to her quick temper and her head injury. He smiled as he remembered how scared he was when Chi Chi came to and he told her what had happened. She fainted right back into unconsciousness, and this being new to Goku, he had freaked. His smile grew as he thought about how he quickly got used to it. Chi Chi never did though, she didn't want to be left to whoever while she took temporary leave from her body. He looked down at his mate. Although most times whoever was him, he hadn't always been there. Who knows who was there to catch her when she found out about the whole Radditz deal. Goku sighed. He was going to try to stay up all night and wait for her to wake up, but he was being tortured with every beat of her heart that he heard. He knew she was in there, she just couldn't talk to him. And who knows what those eyes will look like when they open. Goku didn't want to watch as whatever happened replayed itself in her mind, he wanted to hear it from her lips. He cuddled her closer and slowly drifted to sleep.
BWEEP BWEEEP BREEEEP!!!! Goku's eyes shot open as he jumped out of bed, adrenaline rushing through his head as he tried to figure out where he was. 'Meeting… Bulma… alien… Chi Chi!!!' He knew something had felt weird when we woke up. He looked around to see where he had dropped his wife and panicked when he didn't see her. And still that incessant alarm wouldn't stop. Goku quickly ran to Bulma's lab, figuring she'd be there, to figure out what was going on. There Bulma was running around from console to console. Goku ran over. "Bulma!" "Oh Goku there you are. Ok I need you to do something for me…" "Where's Chi Chi?" "What? Chi Chi's missing? Great, another crisis on our hands." Goku silently waited until she finished bumbling to herself. "This alarm is so stupid!" She screamed as she typed something into her computer and the noise was cut off. "Ok Bulma, what's up?" "Ok Goku, I had this machine in my ear to let me know if any aliens popped up while I was sleep." Goku's face immediately hardened. "Where are they?" "Wait, Goku, I'm not done. So, then the Capsule Corp. alarm went off meaning that there's a burglar in the courtyard!" Goku looked straight at her and said, "Where are the aliens?" "Goku, I need you to take out this burglar for me, then we can take out the alien! I know you want to get them but you can't just leave my family and Chi Chi in the hands of this creep!" Goku's eyes immediately softened. "What if that burglar is Chi Chi?" Bulma shook her head. "It's not, the computer recognizes you and your family as friends. Whoever's out there isn't supposed to be." "But what about the alien? He could leave!" "Goku, just go get this guy firsr, then we'll take everything else one step at a time. While you do that I'll track the alien." Goku, figuring Chi Chi had gone to the bathroom or something, nodded and ran out to the courtyard. He crouched in the shadow of a bush and held his breath as he looked for the trespasser. He listened closely as he heard footsteps. *Thump*thump*thump* Whoever it was was being extra careful, and it seemed as if he was walking slow enough as if he were looking for something… Goku waited for him to walk by his spot before he pounced. The shocked intruder began to try to fight back, but Goku had already gotten the upper hand on him. After he knocked him out, he put him over his shoulder and walked back into Bulma's lab. There, he saw his best friend frowning at some readouts on her computer. "What's up, Bulma?" "I just don't understand it… It says the alien is here…" Goku's grip on the intruder tightened as he frowned. "What do you mean?" "It said that he was outside… then he was moving… and now it says that it's in… this… room…" Bulma and Goku looked at each other before looking slowly at the man hung over Goku's shoulder. Then the door to the lab was pushed open as Chi Chi walked in. "I heard alarms… is everything okay?"
