Note: Sorry it took so long to get this to you guys. Been a little busy because school is about to start. Anyways, I drew a picture of how I picture Goka. Please remember that I do not draw in the style of the DBZ artists, so don't trash talk me because she doesn't look like the other characters. Even though, I'm pretty sure someone will say it sucks because of how it's drawn. But oh well! :D Sorry for the crappy quality, it's because I don't have a scanner and had to improvise with a webcam. ;) anywho if you want to see it you'll have to email me or something. is being a meanie. is the email if you'd like the pic. Just have the subject be : Goka Photo.
And again I will state: THIS IS NOT A CHI-CHI/YAMCHA FIC!!!!!! They are just two of the main characters. Okay? Enjoy guys.
"Dad? Dad! Wake up dad."
The voice was so far away, Yamcha was sure it was just another part of his dream. He couldn't understand what it was saying, but it sounded like it was urgent. He turned towards the voice and started to run through the darkness. He could only see a couple feet in front of him because of the density of the dark surrounding him. It was as if a flashlight was floating above his head, showing him where to go. Finally he saw a light far away from him. He stopped and caught his breath, wondering what the source of the light was.
"Only one way to find out," he said to himself. He took off running much faster than before, watching the light slowly grow in front of him. Finally it seemed to take a solid form. He blinked a couple times and finally saw the figure. It was a woman: tall, thin, and with hair cascading all around her. As he neared her, he saw that she held out her arms, as if beckoning him. He stopped a couple feet in front of the form once the light was too bright for him to look into anymore. He shielded his eyes and started to breathe heavily.
"Yamcha... only you..." The voice whispered to him. The voice was so familiar, but he couldn't place whom it belonged too. He started to look towards the woman, but the light around her had begun to grow. "You're the only one I can trust..."
"Trust? Trust with what? Who are you?" He tried as hard as he could to see her face, but it seemed to be made of light. A light so strong he couldn't see without his head erupting into a terrible headache.
"She's more than you know. She's more than anyone knows... please... you cannot let anything harm her."
"Harm who? Who are you talking about?" The light began to drift away from him, but he tried to grab onto the mysterious woman. He grabbed her and held on as tightly as he could to her. "Tell me who you are!" He looked up at her face and saw his daughter. She looked a bit shocked, almost scared.
"Goka!"
"Dad? Dad you are so going to be late for work." Goka let out a sigh of impatience and shook her father again. "Dad!" She almost screamed at him. "God, you are so impossible to wake in the morning!" She crossed her arms and watched her father continue sleeping on the edge of his bed. I wonder what he dreams of... maybe mom...
"Only... to find out..." he muttered.
"What? Find out what?" Goka shook her father again. "Dad? C'mon dad, snap out of it!"
"Trust? Trust... Who are... talking... tell me..." Goka leaned closer to hear her father better when all of a sudden he had wrapped his arms around her and was holding her in a death grip.
"Ah! Dad!" She was almost afraid of her father, because she knew some of his dreams caused him to blow things up. Oh man, I have a test today, I can't be in the hospital!
"Goka!"
Yamcha looked at his daughter, scared that he had hurt her with the force that he had grabbed her. She was acting hurt, just a little shaken up.
"Are you alright, honey?" He reached out to grab her, concerned about what he might have done.
"Oh, I'm fine! You just scared me, that's all." She smiled warmly at him. "But you need to get up! You'll be late for work. C'mon get up!" She hopped off his bed and moved her arms, motioning him to get up.
"I'm going, I'm going. Gimme a sec, will yah?" He grinned at her and pushed his covers off of him. What a dream, he thought as he ran a hand through his messy hair. I wonder who that woman was, and what did she want? He pushed the thought out of his mind and headed towards his shower as Goka hurried out to go start breakfast for the two.
Goka was humming softly as she prepared her father two omelets and some toast. Her breakfast consisted of three times that amount and almost half a loaf of toast, plus the two bowls of cereal she had already eaten before her shower. Her father always told her it was just because she was growing, but no one else she knew ate as much as she did. At school she would usually eat the schools lunch, then a lunch she packed, and then come home for another quick lunch before her next class. She had learned quickly to hide her eating habits, once she saw the other children barely finishing their lunches.
She set down her fathers breakfast at his place on the table, and sat down across from it with her pile of food. She had just finished two of her omelets and a piece of toast by the time her father entered the kitchen, dressed in his suit for work. Goka grinned and whistled.
"You're looking pretty sharp dad. Is that a new suit? I don't remember ever washing that one."
"Oh, yeah, I got it a week ago. What do you think? Does it make my butt look big?" Yamcha put on a big pouty face and turned around to stick his butt out. He wiggled it around a little before he lost himself in a fit of laughter with his daughter.
Goka was holding onto her sides and almost rolling on the floor at how funny her dad had looked shaking his butt and pouting. "Oh my god dad! You have no idea how funny you looked," Goka said after she finally caught enough breath to speak.
"Well, I'm glad you liked it," Yamcha grinned happily at Goka and sat down to eat his breakfast with her.
Goka made watched her father back out of the driveway, and waved at him as he turned down their street. She smiled and pulled her black beanie over her short blonde hair and grinned at herself. Her clothes consisted of a red t-shirt that rested high on her flat stomach, blue jeans, and as always, her black beanie. Yamcha always joked that she couldn't be seen in public without that beanie.
Can't help it, she thought. It just looks good on me. She played with the ends of her hair sticking from under the beanie causing them to point out a bit more than they already were. Once she was happy with her appearance she grabbed her bag off of the couch and made her way out the door.
Outside the sun was shining brightly, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. It's gonna be hot today, Goka thought. She pulled her backpack higher onto her shoulder and started walking towards the school.
On the other side of town Chi-Chi ruffled a distraught Goten's hair and sent him off to school. "Have a good day honey!" She called as he raced off.
"Yeah mom. You too." He gave a quick wave at her and shot off into the sky in the direction of the high school. He was already late and he still had to talk to his lab partner about the science project he'd forgotten all about.
