Rantings: Hi you peoples! (looks around and realizes no one cares anymore) alright, I know, I'm sorry, but I was dealing with the stuff from before…(read last chapter) and as it so turns out, I stressed so much over it that I grew grey hairs, developed depression, and lost about 15 pounds-which is great when you're trying to lose it but when it goes away bcuz you're stressed it's scary… besides… are 17 year old seniors supposed to weigh 100 pounds?…. Well, anywho, I've been throwing myself into my studies and reading stories and video games to kinda save me from… myself…I guess… and I just finished FFX2, and I didn't get the good ending and I am so sad! Plus the 1000 words song makes me cry every time I hear it and now they put it on the commercial and then poor Tidus and Yuna get shot!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… sorry, episode. Ok, better. I'm going to buy the guide tomorrow and make everything better. But basically, my life has kinda sucked lately, and when you get to the point where you can't be alone with your own thoughts anymore, you know you need to take a break, and writing a story is one of the last things on your mind. I would have written a thingy where you let people know what is going on, but I hate those. You get all excited and then find out that it's not a new chapter. Sigh, but I'm trying to deal and I promised I'd get this out b4 my 18th b-day so… I went back and re-read this story. I didn't know it sucked so bad, I'm so sorry! Just to let ya'll know, I'm from the south so if any of this sounds south-ish I'm sorry. Also, in real life I make up words a lot (ex. South-ish, nothingness, overprotectiveness, all those other words that I'm sure made ya'll go 'huh?') I'm sorry about those, sometimes I don't catch them, but I'll try to make it better ok?

Disclaimer: If I owned them, I'd prolly be sued by now from America and Japan for taking so long….

Chi Chi sat in Bulma's living room watching tv. Her husband had deposited her here while he and Bulma ran off, screaming at each other and freaking out. Chi Chi shook her shoulders and changed the channel with the remote.

'It's not like aliens are taking over the world… Not like that'd be unheard of anyways…'

After about five minutes of watching tv and silently pondering to herself, her eyes began to look away from the tv and along the floor. She didn't know why the floor seemed more interesting than the tv, or what she was looking for, but after scanning she saw it.

A spider web.

Or, more importantly a strand of spider web, attached to the end of the busy spider that was trying to re-make its home after the maid of Capsule Corp. destroyed it an hour earlier. Chi Chi screeched, looking for anything to tear into the strand with, until she realized that the spider had stopped moving. It seemed as if it were looking at her, sadly knowing that it's demise was coming, giving up on life because it knew that it had little time left.

In short, it was a pitiful, sad scene.

"Aw," Chi Chi sighed. "You're just a momma spider trying to make a home for your children so you can raise them to be nice and strong and smart aren't you? You can't help what you are, and you can't help that people want to mess with you, all because you're weaker than they are."

Chi Chi sat down next to the corner and stared at the spider and the strand of web sadly.

"You just want a place for your family to come home to so they can spend time with you and you can raise them. You want your utopia, and everyone seems to want to destroy it."

Chi Chi smiled, looking at the spider that even though it had no idea what she was saying, seemed slightly hopeful. Chi Chi sighed, looking out the window into the bright stars outside, contemplating on her words that fit her own life so perfectly. She and the spider were similar… which is something she'd never think she'd say, but in this instance she could make an exception.

"Well, I may not get my utopia, but yours won't be endangered by me, little spider."

The spider seemed relieved, and started again on its home. Chi Chi got up, reaching for the remote so she could turn off the tv and complain to her husband that she wanted to go home. She began to walk through the hallways, trying to listen for where her husband and their best friend were, while trying to recall where Bulma's laboratory was. That's probably where they were, and Chi Chi was starting to get anxious to go home so she could do the dishes and laundry before going to bed. She heard voices coming down the hallway to her right, and she followed it quietly, listening to the conversation.

"How did you let him get out?"

"How did I let him get out? Goku, he escaped!"

"And now he's out there somewhere."

"Yes, and you've gotta find it, because it's probably mad that we had it and it will come right back for Capsule Corp."

"What about Chi Chi?"

"What about Chi Chi?"

"There's a good chance that this alien might be the one that came after my wife, where should I put her while we get rid of this thing?"

"Why not at home?"

"Because, he already saw her at Violet Lake, and all he has to do is fly a mile to the north to find our house. I'm no putting her or my house in that kind of danger when I'm not there to protect them. Maybe I could put them at Roshi's-"

"I thought you were going to let her fight."

"Not this time. Not with this guy. I don't even fully understand what he tried with my wife, but I won't let him try again. She'll be a liability because he'll definitely go after her…"

Chi Chi held back a sob as she backed away from the door. So was that all she was? A liability?

'Well, he can be liable for the world and I can take care of myself.'

Chi Chi hurried out the door of Capsule Corp., not being near as her husband ended his comment.

"I'd be too busy watching her throughout the fight. I'd be terrified the whole time, because I would die if anything took her from me…"

It had just rained, so the water droplets were still gathered on the blades of grass, and they ran towards her boots as she stepped on them. It was cold, but she was too upset to go back for her jacket. Yeah, when she was mad she usually ranted and carried on, but it was mostly for show. Since she wasn't as strong as the other fighters, they tended to look down upon her, but when she frightened them all, they all gave her their respect. Unfortunately, it made them think of her as a nag, an old witch, a temperamental person.

And now, a liability.

That comment coming from her husband hurt more than words could say. Even if the world seemed to have lost faith in her, she knew she could always count on him to know who she really was. But apparently, he didn't even know that. Chi Chi sunk to her knees in the wet grass, determined not to let the tears attempting to peek over the pocket if her bottom eyelid to fall. She didn't know how long she sat there, feeling the slightly icy wind brush past her bare arms, feeling like a burden to the world. She let her head fall to be parallel to the ground as she felt a presence appear behind her.

"Chi Chi, there you are! I was so worried, why are you out the house? We probably need to stay here for tonight. I'm sorry, honey, but me and Bulma have some things to work out ok?"

Chi Chi continued to stare at the ground, not even acknowledging the Saiyan's presence.

"Chi Chi, are you alright?"

Goku attempted to pick up his wife by her shoulders, but as she got to her feet, she shrugged it off and began to walk towards Capsule Corp alone. Goku frowned as she walked like a frozen little girl that was sent to her room. And if anything else, Goku could feel the tension of the wall his wife had just constructed around herself.

"Okay…"

Ravings: Ok, I have written a small chapter and I know what I'm going to write next! I'm just too lazy now. :-D But if ya'll give me LOTS of reviews then I will make a promise to myself to write the next chapter by next weekend. How's that? Well, after playing the game 3 times, I finally got the ending I wanted. Hurray for cheat books, otherwise I never would have gotten it. And I continually promised myself that I wouldn't write anymore nasty letters to 'hurry up and finish your story' if I wasn't willing to take my own advice. So, now… I'm FREE!! Hee hee hee hee hee. Well darlings, I think I'm outtie. Sorry about the delay again, and I'll TRY to have the next chapter out by next week. NO FLAMIES JUST GOOD REVIEWS!!!
