All around Chi-Chi, she was surrounded by the colors white, silver, and even specks of gold here and there. She's been to parties hosted by the briefs before, but never one like this. The briefs had money, but they weren't really know to flash it in people's face.
The usual parties they held were really tight-knit. Only close families and friends were invited, and they usually had it in a more relax setting. She realized, this one, was probably going to be different since this party was being throw for their business colleagues.
There known clients and associates made up most of the guest list. Other big shots that were known in the business world were also invited to the party. If Chi-Chi really took a second to look, she was sure she could have easily spotted a celebrity somewhere around. There were hundreds of people around, chatting with each other, dancing on the dance floor, or just snacking on one of the many choices in the buffets.
Even with so many people though, there was still plenty of space around. Just how big did this part of the house look like when it was completely empty? She took another bite of the delicious cake she was currently eating. It felt like she was eating a fluffy cloud.
A beautifully, delicious cloud. Somewhere on the dance floor, Bulma and Vegeta were dancing together. Bulma had picked out a long, strapless red dress, and decided to put her blue hair up only letting a few pieces out. She had looked really stunning….
In the beginning. Ten minutes into the party, she had spent most of her time making small chat with old business guys, or their sons who had been starring at her chest the whole time.
Needless to say, as soon as Vegeta showed up, he had pulled her to the dance floor. Chi-Chi hadn't expected him to be the type to dance, but to be fair, he probably didn't either. Still, they made quite the pair on the dance floor. After a few failed attempts, Vegeta quickly got the hang of it.
Not that it surprise Chi-Chi. Vegeta had good footwork because of his martial arts training. Once he got into the style of dancing, he easily became a master at it. Bulma looked like she was gliding across the dance floor, and while Vegeta did have a scowl on his face, she was sure he was also enjoying it.
Vegeta's father had also came. He and Vegeta's mother were talking to a bunch of important people somewhere else. They were mostly hanging out with Bulma's parents though. Probably talking about some kind of business thing.
Goku and Krillin had also shown up. She was surprised to see Goku had came in a suit. All the male guest had came in one, but she somehow found it weird that Goku had also decided to. As soon as he arrived though he had gotten lost somewhere in the tables of food.
Krillin had spend most of the time speaking to some tall blonde girl. She must have thought it was some kind of masquerade party though because although she was dressed very fancy, she also had on a small, delicate looking mask.
Chi-Chi was currently flushing down her second drink of juice, when she felt a light tap on her shoulder. Turning around, she seen a guy with black hair that was long enough to be pulled back into a small ponytail. He looked very handsome. At least she thought he did. She couldn't fully tell since there was a black mask covering his face.
Weird. Why would their be two people that showed up with masquerade masks on?
"I don't suppose you would like to join me for a dance?" The guy asked her. His voice sounded very deep and smooth.
Chi-Chi blinked in surprise. She really shouldn't since she was planning on faking a stomach ache soon, and telling her dad and Bulma she was going 'home early', but she did tell Bulma she would at least try to talk to a guy. If she spotted her dancing with this guy, she would probably be satisfied with at least that… and he was pretty handsome.
Chi-Chi put her hand on top of his offering one, and let him guide her to the dance floor. As soon as they got to their destination, he placed a hand on her lower back, and lightly brought her closer to him. As she moved with him, she noticed what good of a dancer he was. He moved in a graceful way with the music.
"So, what's a lady like you, doing at a business party like this one? You caught my attention when I noticed that you were at the buffet table most of the time." The mysterious guy said. "I figured there was someone else besides me, who was getting bored with all these old men and their trophy wives talking about their money."
Chi-Chi politely chuckled. "My friend invited me because she was afraid of getting swept up in the same thing. Luckily, her boyfriend saved her from that." She explained. She paused before adding, "I couldn't help but notice the mask you're wearing. What's up with that, Mr. Mysterious?"
"Mr. Mysterious?" Her dance partner repeated with a laugh. "I like that. And to answer your question, I work for a company, you could say, and we all decided to come in with a masks. If you look around, you could see a couple of other people in masks too. Its a business tactic. We stand out this way."
Chi-Chi's eyebrows furrowed. "You work for a company? That can't be right, you look like your my age."
"It's a family company." He responded. "My father has been teaching me the ropes on how to run it from a young age. He forces me to show up to these kind of parties, so I can already be making connections."
"I see." Chi-Chi said. "I don't suppose I can get a name?" She asked at the same time the song ended.
"I think I like the name you gave me." He said with a smirk. He bent down to giver her a light kiss on her hand. "I hope we cross paths again."
Chi-Chi smiled with a nod before she walked off the dance floor. She gulped, and ran a hand through her hair. She has never been so close to a guy before.
As soon as she made it off the dance floor, she was rushed by someone at the side. She closed her eyes waiting for an impact, but opened them again when she felt nothing. Turning, she seen it was Bulma who had basically ran up to her.
"So who was he?" Bulma asked with a teasing smile.
Chi-Chi felt her cheeks heat up in embarrassment. "I-I don't know. He didn't say." She answered. "It's not that much of a big deal though."
"Of course it is! It might even be bigger deal than Lady Anonymous showing up to this party. By the way, I wonder why she hasn't shown up yet. Its getting pretty late." Bulma mentioned.
"Speaking of Lady Anonymous, it doesn't look like I'll get a chance to meet her tonight." Chi-Chi lied. "I must have ate too much cake, but my stomach is killing me. I think I'm going to call it a night."
Bulma's expression turned to a more concern one. "That's too bad. Are you sure you don't want me to bring you some pills or something?"
"No, I think I'm just going to sleep it off." Chi-Chi said. "And I think I see Vegeta getting surrounded by some business people, so you should probably go help him out before he blows up."
Bulma turned to see Vegeta closing his eyes in annoyance as some pudgy rich snob continued to talk to him. She let out a groan. "I think you're right. I'll see you later then. Be careful on your way home too! If your dad can't take you, just ask one of my guys, and they'll take you home."
"Sure." Chi-Chi replied. Now all that was left, was her father. Walking towards him, she was surprised to see him talking to Goku. "Dad."
Both Goku and her father turned their attention to her. "Oh hey there honey. Is something the matter?"
"I'm going home early. My stomach is killing me, so I'm just going to sleep it off." She explained.
"Sure, I'll go get my stuff, and we can get out of here." Her father said.
"Its fine." Chi-Chi quickly said to stop him from leaving. "Bulma already arranged for someone to take me home. Stay here and have fun."
"Only if your sure." The Ox King surprisingly agreed. Chi-Chi had expected her father to have put up more of a fight. "Me and Goku here were talking about some of Master Roshi's teachings. You know, the ones we-"
"Yes!" Chi-Chi interrupted before he could finish his sentence, and let out her secret in front of Goku about her training. Both her father and Goku looked at her weirdly. Clearing her throat, she tried again. "I mean, I know, which ones you are talking about. Look, dad, my stomach is really killing, so I'll see you at home. Okay?"
"Uh, sure honey." The Ox King said, still looking confused.
"Hope you feel better Chi-Chi." Goku added before she left.
"Thanks." She replied and flashed a smile. Mission accomplished. Now all she had to do was go get the backpack full of her clothes that she stashed as soon as she got here. Luckily Bulma had suggested that Chi-Chi gets to her house before the party starts, so that they could both get ready. She had brought both her dresses inside her bag in secret.
Easily slipping away from the room the party was being held in, she was greeted with an empty part of the house. Going towards the staircase, she went up and to Bulma's room. About 15 minutes later, she was making her way back to the party.
She had taken off the plain pink dress she was wearing earlier, and replaced it with the soft lilac colored dress that went down to her ankles. It had a Chinese inspired look to it, with her back being shown with a transparent part on the back of the dress.
She put her hair up to show off that part of the dress. To conceal her identity, she added a black mask similar to the ones the guy she was dancing with earlier, and the blonde woman Krillin had been occupied with, had been wearing. Except this one had some design on it. Subtle swirls of silver and glitter were on it.
Opening the door to the party, she slipped in without anyone noticing her. Walking more confidently than she has been before, she went up to Bulma's father. She cleared her throat to get his attention as he and his wife were talking to a group of people.
She noticed Vegeta's parents were both in the group of people too. Some from the group looked at her in a snobbish way. She responded with a graceful smile. Even though she didn't have her usual outfit on, she still felt very confident as Lady Anonymous.
"Ah, yes young lady, is there something I can help you with?" Mr. Briefs question politely.
"Where are the chicken fingers?" She said.
Mr. Briefs' eyes widen in huge proportions. "Lady Anonymous! You made it! I was starting to think you wouldn't show up!"
"Yes, well, after the way you invited me, how could I not?" The young superhero replied with a small laugh.
She had been in the middle of saving Bulma's dad from getting hit by gunshots, when he had invited her to his party. She had no choice but to say no because that was the only way he would let her focus on whatever enemy she was fighting that day. After fighting so many people, they all kind of become a blur.
"Briefs! You can't be serious! This woman can't possibly be Lady Anonymous! She must be lying to you in order to sneak into your party." One of the snobby rich guys shouted.
Mr. Briefs just chuckled in response. "Thanks for your concern Robusuta, but I gave Lady Anonymous a code word to use, so she can inform me when it is really her." He explained before turning his attention back to Lady Anonymous. "If you don't mind, I'd like to introduce you as my guest of honor."
Chi-Chi's lips curved into a smile when she seen the snobby guy that accused her of being a liar looking at her with a shock expression. Even Vegeta's father had a lightly surprised look, and if he was anything like Vegeta, that was saying a lot. "If you insist."
"Follow me." Mr. Briefs said as he made his way to the stage. The people that were playing instruments, paused their performance after receiving some kind of signal. She followed Mr. Briefs to the top of it. It didn't take long to get everyone's attention after the music stopped.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I have an announcement to make." Mr. Briefs said into a microphone. He put a hand up towards her direction to gesture at her. "I'm proud to introduce all of you to my special guest, Lady Anonymous!"
As soon as he announced that, she heard some gasps come from the crowd. People started to whisper to each other, and it made her slightly self-conscious. "I ask you all, please do not crowd her with your questions. She is only here as a favor to me, so I want her to be as relaxed as possible at my party." And with that he walked out of stage, and the music started again.
"Lady Anonymous, if you want, I can have my daughter keep you company. She might be with her boyfriend, or best friend, but she would be more than happy to do it." He offered. Then in a much quieter voice he said, "She also has quite the talent in avoiding some of these talkative people. I like to think she got that from me."
Chi-Chi politely chuckled in response. "I might have to take you up on that offer. Only if she doesn't mind of course."
"Excellent!" Mr. Briefs cheered. "Bulma!"
Chi-Chi was surprise to see Bulma had been nearby the whole time. Her father must have warned her about this ahead of time. With Vegeta next to her, both of them walked over towards her direction.
"So this is the great Lady Anonymous that saved my father." Bulma teased. "It's nice to finally meet you!"
Chi-Chi shook Bulma's offering hand. "I knew you two would hit it off!" Mr. Briefs exclaimed. "I must be on my way now. Bulma, make sure Lady Anonymous enjoys herself."
"Nice to meet you Bulma." Chi-Chi said in a professional voice. She hoped Bulma didn't recognize her voice. She turned to Vegeta. "I believe we met once before?"
Bulma turned to Vegeta in surprise. "You met her before?"
"I was with Goku when he invited her to the World's Martial Artist Tournament. You haven't chickened out and changed your mind have you?" Vegeta asked.
"Not when I might get the chance to kick your ass." She replied with a tight, innocent smile.
Vegeta smirked in response. "You might want to be hoping you don't get the chance to go against me. It'd look bad if the city's beloved hero loses so early in the tournament."
They both locked into a starring competition for awhile until Bulma broke it with her laughter. "I like you." Bulma said to her. "Not many people stand up to Vegeta. You should have seen when I first met him. Believe it or not, but he's a lot nicer now."
Chi-Chi chuckled. "I'll take your word for it."
Bulma grabbed her arm. "Actually, I know you've already met him before, but you should really get to know a close friend of mine."
Chi-Chi was forced to follow from behind. She had an idea who she wanted her to get to know. Bulma always loved playing matchmaker, and it looks like from either form, Chi-Chi was always a victim of it.
It didn't take long till they were heading to where Goku was. He had apparently moved back to the buffet table. Which she was grateful for. How awkward would it be if Bulma was setting her up with Goku while her father was present for the exchange.
"Goku!" Bulma shouted, getting his attention.
"Hey guys!" Goku greeted to both Vegeta and Bulma. "Who is your new friend?"
"Didn't you hear my father introduce her?" Bulma questioned in confusion.
Goku shook his head no. "I guess I tuned it out while I was eating. So who is she?" He asked as he shoved some kind of food into his mouth.
Bulma smugly smiled. "This is Lady Anonymous!" She announced.
Goku tried to swallow his food, but ended up choking on it a little. "This is her!" He asked. He turned to her and eyed her up and down making her face heat up a little. "Lady Anonymous?" He tried.
"Yes?" She responded.
"It is her!" Goku exclaimed.
Bulma laughed a little. "I know. Anyways, Vegeta wants to dace with me again," She elbowed him when he made a small noise of protest. "So, I need you to keep her company. Why don't you offer to dance with her, Goku?"
She, not too subtly, winked at Goku before taking Vegeta with her back to the dance floor, leaving both of them alone with each other.
"I'm actually not that good of a dancer," Goku started. He nervously rubbed the back of his head. "But if you want…?"
Chi-Chi nodded as she once again returned to the dance floor. She was starting to feel a little nervous. She convinced herself it was because of the story she heard about Goku's dancing.
She placed her hand on his shoulder as he place his on the bottom of her back. As they started to move to the music, she was surprised at how well it started off. Looking up to him, she smiled. "What do you mean? You're not a bad dancer."
"I'm as surprised as you are." Goku replied. "The last girl I dance with had to leave early because of how many times I stepped on her feet."
Chi-Chi didn't notice the person about to bump into her, so was surprised when Goku pulled her in so that she was against him. She let out a nervous giggle.
She was close enough to feel his chest pressing against hers. She noticed, compared to the mysterious guy she was dancing with before, Goku was more muscular, and thicker. Although Goku had shown up in a suit, he must have taken off the jacket some time in the middle of the party.
He had loosen up his tie a little, and rolled up his sleeves showing off his muscular arms. She never noticed how fit Goku had looked. It explained where his fighting confidence came from though.
She was suddenly pulled out of her thoughts when she was suddenly dipped and pulled back to Goku. The sudden mode cause giggles to slip out of her mouth. She heard Goku also let out a couple of chuckles. It was weird, her head suddenly felt light.
The only word that came to her mind for describing her mood would be, well, giddy. Could there have been more in her drink than just juice? Maybe she had accidentally taken a drink from the adults table by mistake.
Whatever it was, it was causing her to be less nervous and more comfortable around Goku. Laying her head against his chest she continued to sway around with him. He felt warm all around, and even though his chest was hard as a rock, it felt like a bunch of pillows to her.
"Hey, Goku, was it?" She said remembering to keep up appearances. "I've been wondering something for awhile..."
"What is it?" He asked.
"You and your friends seem pretty confident about the tournament you told me about. None of you looked frightened when the robber came into that convenient store either." She lifted her head off his chest to look up at him. "I'm just a little curious about why that is."
She knew that they weren't weak, Goku had easily taken care of that guy that had harassed her, so she knew they were stronger than the average person. Still, she wasn't sure if she could pin it all to overconfidence. Goku didn't seem like the kind of person to think a little too much of himself. She was also a little curious if the answer had something to do with why they were all acting so mysterious.
Goku looked down at her in surprise before he changed it to a smile. "I guess you can say, our training teacher was really good. He's also entering the tournament, so we're hoping to finally beat him in a fight." He explained. "What about you? Where did you learn how to fight so well?"
Chi-Chi probably should have lied, but it must have been the alcohol in her system that made her say, "My father. From a young age I learned how to fight."
"That's funny. So did I." He revealed. "Before I learned from my current teacher, I learned from my father and grandfather. They died when I was young though."
Chi-Chi had to stop herself before she blurted out how her mother also died when she was young. She couldn't let Goku know too much about her personal life, or there would be a big chance of him figuring out who she was.
Instead, from her foggy mind, she blurted out the next thing she could think of. "You have a nice face!" Even with her current drunken state she could tell how bad of a move that was.
"Thanks. You have a nice face too." Goku offhandedly replied.
Although she hadn't meant for her comment to slip out, she really did think he was handsome. It should almost be unfair to have such good looks paired up with such a toned body.
It was a wonder why he didn't enjoy he's single life as much as Krillin did. A certain thought suddenly popped up in her head. The fuzziness in her head kept her from actually thinking out the consequences that might come out of it, but she opened her mouth anyways. "Goku, have you actually ever kissed a woman?"
Chi-Chi felt a prick of pain from her foot. Goku had accidentally stepped on her. "Kiss?" He repeated in a slightly flustered way. "I guess I haven't really."
Chi-Chi looked at him straight in the eyes to see if he was lying. It honestly shocked her that he hasn't kissed anyone yet.
It wasn't like she had either, but she's never actually been close to a guy before, so it made sense that she hasn't experience something like that with someone yet.
Her eyes automatically flickered to his lips. For a second, she wondered if it would be so bad if they…? If they kissed, it wouldn't actually ruin anything between them. From all the results that would come from it, Chi-Chi figured there wasn't actually any cons if they did kiss. Only pros.
For example, it would let her now how it would feel to kiss someone, and her first kiss wouldn't be such a serious thing anymore. After all, Goku didn't actually know she was Chi-Chi, so its not like it'd be awkward between them.
She wasn't in the best condition to be thoroughly thinking things through, but she was confident this one was a good idea….
It helped that he was extremely handsome too. Stopping their dance, he looked at her in curiosity. Leaning upwards, she moved towards him. His eyes widen a fraction, and it might have been her imagination, but she was sure he started to lean in to.
That's when she closed her eyes… wait that didn't sound right. It didn't feel like she closed her eyes? Suddenly she heard a wave of gasps go through the crowd of guests. The lights had turned off.
Not a second later, gun shots started to go off. The super heroine felt Goku shield her with his own body as he pushed both of them onto the floor. She could hear people screaming and moving around in a panic.
Chi-Chi was still underneath Goku when the lights turned back on. Both of them looked around for any sign of the culprits. People were still running around in a panic, so it was making it difficult to find anyone.
Chi-Chi watched as a couple of people started to run towards their direction, so Goku quickly picked both of them up saving them from being trampled on.
"Did you find the shooter yet?" Chi-Chi asked Goku as she continued to look around herself. She was also keeping her eye out for anyone that might have been shot from the shooters. There was a lot of important people, so it wasn't that surprising that someone was attacking the party.
She had let her guard down because of how much security Mr. Briefs had around the vicinity. Where the hell were they now anyways?
"Not yet." Goku replied to her.
Chi-Chi's ears perked up when she heard sounds coming from a microphone. Locating the stage from earlier, she released a gasp.
"Everybody calm down." A milky smooth voice said from the stage. A very familiar milky smooth voice. Standing on the stage was the same black haired guy Chi-Chi had been dancing with earlier when she was still 'Chi-Chi'.
Next to him was the blonde girl with the mask, and another taller guy that had on a similar masks as they did. She noticed he had orange hair styled in a mohawk. All of them had some kind of gun on them pointed at the people around.
"We didn't come to harm you people, we only came for one person. Lady Anonymous. Come to us now, and we won't have to kill everyone else in sight." He revealed.
Chi-Chi felt Goku pull her back as he stepped in front of her. She starred at the back of his head in confusion. Didn't he realize she was the hero here?
"Lady Anonymous!" Someone cried out.
"Please give yourself up!" Someone else begged.
"Do you think your life is worth more than ours? You heard the man! If you are a hero you should be glad to sacrifice yourself." Another one said.
Goku grabbed her hand from behind as he stayed in front of her, blocking her from everyone else's sight.
"This is nonsense!" Mr. Briefs yelled in anger. His wife was standing next to him, and not for behind them was Vegeta's father and mother. "The cops have already been informed of the situation!"
The guy laughed in response causing his hair to shake. "18, did you hear that? He's going to call the cops on us."
The blonde girl let out a chuckle. "I don't think he knows who we are 17." She responded.
"Well that's a disappointment, and here I thought we were starting to get popular." 17 said sarcastically.
"17 and 18?" Mr. Briefs said. "D-Don't tell me your the famous criminals who have been getting away with all kind of crimes in Japan?"
Chi-Chi had realized it at the same time Bulma's father had. She had been hearing about their crime work even before she became a superhero. She only took care of crime inside her city, but even she was thinking about working outside of it just to capture these criminals.
"What'd I say?" 17 joked to the blonde.
"Gee, good for you, shouldn't we be focusing on getting the girl already? I'm getting tired of this boring party already." 18 complained.
Chi-Chi stepped up, but Goku pulled her back from her hand. Turning, she looked at him in confusion.
"I won't let you go up there alone." He whispered to her.
"Its too dangerous for you." She pointed out. "I can handle them myself."
Before Goku could protest more, 17's voice stopped him. "And I see the lucky lady finally chose to reveal herself to us!"
Chi-Chi growled as she stepped in front of Goku causing him to release his hold on her. "There was no need to interrupt this party, if you wanted to see me outside of this, all you had to do was ask."
17 looked at her in shock before he burst out in laughter. 18 looked down at her like she was an annoying fly.
"Well pardon us for the rudeness, but my dear sister here wishes to do stuff in style." 17 explained.
"I don't need you pathetic excuses. Tell me why you called me out now before I lose patience and decide to kick your asses." She was going to do it either way, but she might doing a lot sooner if they didn't hurry up with there explanation.
"My, my, my, aren't you the feisty type?" 17 said with a wink.
"Enough with your flirting 17, your going to make me sick." 18 said. She uses her hand to move her hair to the side. "This girl is getting on my nerves. Someone needs to show her a thing or two on respect!"
"Why you!" Chi-Chi exclaimed. Not waiting any longer, she quickly ripped her dress from each sides creating two slits. Backing up, she ran forward till she had enough speed to jump onto the strange. Swinging her foot, she smacked the gun out of 18's hand.
Both men from the side starred in shock before they snapped out of it, and pointed their guns towards Chi-Chi. Preparing to jump if gun shots came her way, she was surprised to see both men lose their guns themselves.
Goku must have followed her from behind and quickly knocked 17's gun away as soon as it had pointed at her. From the other side, Chi-Chi seen Vegeta had come from behind to kick the guy with mohawk's gun.
The tables had suddenly switched as Chi-Chi, Goku, and Vegeta all secured the weapons away from the criminals. Expecting them to run or give up, she was surprised to see them look unaffected.
"Hey 17, I think they think they now have the upper hand." 18 stated.
"Hm, guess we'll have to prove them wrong then." 17 said.
Chi-Chi realized this was when the chaos had officially started…
Hey guys! I've decided to give this story the same update schedule as my other story. So I will be updating this story every 10 days. Question, what does everyone do when they're at parties?

I still have somethings to write about before we get to there!

Its really good. Its like a whole different style compared to dragon ball z haha I was surprised! And as for the question with Goku and Vegeta, it is sort of hard to answer without spoiling anything! I can say, they're not normal humans, but I wouldn't say they are aliens either! ;D
