Goku sat with back bolt straight, Chichi's hands feeling the rise in heart beat through his chest as the General etched closer to them. Her lovers eyes watched only the paved stones of the floor, his hand loosening around hers as she watched him slip into submission and suppose await punishment. She sighed as she rested her hands on his shoulders and slowly climbed off him. That hadn't been a very smooth move really and the look on Goku's face applied that he would agree with that. Gohan said nothing…he just stood there looking at the tall boy before him.

"Grandpa! Look its nothing…really." Goku's voice was stern and collected, although there was some doubt in Chichi's mind that he would be able to keep up the calmed act for much longer. She rested her hands by her sides, watching the general walk closer to the both of them. Goku automatically stood up from his seat. Whether this was from respect or fear she wasn't quite sure.

"Well it sure didn't look like nothing my boy. So one more time: would you like to explain?" There was no movement between grandfather and grandchild, Gohan continued to look on at Goku with suspicion and Goku stared shamefully at the ground.

"We were just kissing is all" Gohan nodded his head in a manner that Goku knew meant more questions would follow. Sighing Goku gave Chichi his seat, standing up and looking at his Grandpa.

"Well that was obvious Goku…what I want explaining is why two people who are marrying in surprise and for the sake of a kingdom and respect…why they seem to very much like each other?" Chichi sighed and looked up at Goku. Looking at hid grandfather Goku shook his head. "Well Goku?"

"We do like each other" Gohan nodded and signalled Goku to step forward, reluctantly and defensively Goku did.

"Hmm yes well I suppose I should have expected that too. Why do you need to get married?" Gohan looked at the bewildered Goku.

"Well because we like each other and want to get married" Gohan nodded once again.

"Ahh I see but why so then so quickly and why pretend that this is for other reasons. Why not just explain that you like each other? What are you up to my lad?" Goku let a shocked look come up on his face.

"I'm not up to anything!" Chichi watched on as Goku was interrogated, she had all hope in him to keep his mouth shut and so far he was doing well.

"Come on Goku…I've been raising you since you were a baby and you think I don't know when you're up to something. Young one you're a bad liar and one of these days you're going to have to accept that." Goku sighed and gabbled slightly before looking at Chichi.

"Grandpa I'm not up to anything…really I'm not" Gohan sighed.

"Promise?" Goku looked up with wide eyes, looking back down at Chichi and his eyes begging for her to butt in here. She just looked at him and smiled, nodding slightly. Goku shook his head in a no. Chichi looked up at her lover with both shock and confusion.

"I thought not. You see Chichi as much I hate to do it to my Grandson I know full well Goku will not promise anything he cannot keep. He is a very honourable young man and I'm proud of that but I'm afraid I had no other way to find out what you two are up to so….Either of you, what is going on?" Goku gave Chichi an apologetic look and let her continue.

"General please" She was met with a suspicious and uncaring look "don't tell anyone a thing….Please." Goku butted in.

"Yer and please Grandpa try not to flip out" Goku nodded up at Chichi to continue with a worried look on his face. Gohan gave Goku a look that said hell was shortly approaching, he shouldn't have butting into the Queens sentence and secondly now his grandpa was sure there was something deep going on. Doesn't matter if he had warned him or not…he was dead either way.

"See the thing is general um your aware that I've been ill recently. Well we've found out what this 'illness' is and well I decided that I would need someone by my side during my reign and well I trust Goku with my life and so I chose him. When things get hard I know I can trust him to be able to handle the situation." Goku smiled at her…well it wasn't a lie, it wasn't the truth either but Goku could tell Gohan was far from finished with his questions. Taking a deep breath and gulping Goku stood and readied himself t explain…he was in some deep shit.

When Goku had thought his Grandfather would hit the roof he was far from right, in fact: Gohan had hit more than the roof…a lot more. Maybe the sun or something that distance away. Chichi had stood and walked over to Goku who at this moment in time was getting the lecture of a life time.

"Grandpa please calm down…"

"Goku I thought I had taught you your palace in this society. I let you get away with some of your rebellious nature as a child. Then came the army and yes you still had problems obeying command but you knew where you stood and you were good at it. But never, not in a thousand deaths did I ever think you would do this!" Goku sighed and looked down at the floor.

"Grandpa I know! I've disappointed you and in a way I've disappointed myself. But I love her and I can't let her go through this alone. She needs me!" Gohan sighed and nodded his head.

"Well of course she needs you and you'd be in more trouble if you weren't going to stick around…as you would if this was any woman stood before me now. But did you two not think?"

"Of course we did, just not of what you're thinking of" Goku laughed cheekily and Gohan dismissed them both from the office. "Oh and grandpa…can you keep this quiet?" Rolling his eyes and sighing Gohan nodded. It didn't matter how old the boy was it was his job to protect him and by telling anyone what had happened there was a high risk that Goku could be severely punished…even killed if that was what the family of Chichi wanted.

All his life Goku had been hard to control: he was always the rebellious type to run off and do what he thought was right…not that Gohan minded that. His Grandson was a very kind and loving man, the type you very rarely saw. He wasn't sure but he swore that deep down Goku only joined the army to keep his Grandfather happy and proud. Goku liked the army of course; he had a talent in fighting that proved very useful to him. As a child he had made friends easily, though his kindness and huge generosity many of the village kids had been partially close to him and now that Goku was a fully grown man he had many a girl after him. The village girls these days seemed to be addicted to him and he had lost count the number of times that Goku had come home panting after having tp belt it from a pack of girls desperate for a date with him.

Which brought another question forth in his mind…why the Queen? There were so many girls in the village that would have jumped on him in seconds and yet he chose to go for someone who in reality was out of his reach. But the boy was happy and well she was happy. They might be a bit young for children of their own but both seemed comfortable with the idea of being parents and what's more…even though he would never admit it out loud: he was sure Goku would make a decent part in the monarchy for this country.
