Chapter Three

The person who we love so much but could damage us the most.

-Eighteen.

What? What do you want? Huh?

You want to know my take on Goku right? What I thought of him? Okay then I will and don't you dare walk away because what I have to say is going to be heard.

I don't get why everybody is so bent over him leaving anyway. It's not like he has never left before. The guy was a pro at that.

He was a pro at a lot of things.

Ha ha...my first reason for meeting Goku was so that I could kill him.

Well, its not like any of you haven't wanted to kill somebody ya know? But, I didn't really know the guy. I was just doing what my "father" had programmed me to do. What? You confused? I was an android before I was wished to be a human. Yeah yeah, I know, freak show huh? My brother was an android too. I bet you didn't know I had a brother eh? Er...what? You did? Well...whatever.

Any who, I was out searching for Goku and everything along with my brother, Seventeen, and this big android named Sixteen when I stumbled upon the labeled "Z team."

That green guy was the first person I met, I think. Or was it the guy with the scar? Eh..anyway, I came to Master Roshi's island looking for Goku and these dimwitted guys come out and try to challenge us. You know what we did?

We fought.

My brother got the green guy. They were fighting for a while and I admit, the green lizard was keeping up but then that other asshole showed up. You know who I'm talking about?

Bingo! Cell.

So this stupid jerk goes and sucks up my brother! Just like that! Just sucks him right up and transforms into some uglier creature. And by this time, the green guy, the dude with the scar and the three eyed freak and Krillin are scared shit less.

Oh yeah, I hadn't told you about Krillin yet. My "husband" had this device. It was a destruct button that could have eliminated me right then and there. But he doesn't do it ya know? He sits there, scared of Cell but refuses to blow me to smithereens and save everybody the trouble of the whole "Cell games thing".

And I thought that was adorable.

Ugh...shut up because I know you're doing that "Awww" thing right about now. Yeah, I found that sweet because of what he sacrificed. It was even weirder because we hadn't even known each others names at the time. So I gave him a kiss, to show my appreciation. Yeah, I was evil back then and a robot but that didn't mean I had no feelings.

Er...uh. Here I am rambling on about my whole life story. I'm sure you guys couldn't care less about how me and my husband met and so on.

So in the end, like always, Goku saves the day. Well, not Goku himself but without him the planet would have been long gone years ago. He was that kind of guy. The kind that risked his life for some shit ball planet like Earth.

Okay fine. It's not shit ball planet. It's kinda pretty and serene and comforting. But you wouldn't catch me up at 6 in the morning fighting evil beings.

Here I am again huh? Rambling on and on about things that aren't relevant to the reason you're listening to me.

It's Goku.

It was always about Goku.

Goku saves the day. Goku gets a new son. Goku is strong. Goku turns Super Saiyan. Goku beats another bad guy. Goku turns a bad guy into a good guy. Goku trains. Goku dies. Goku is missed.

Goku, Goku, Goku.

Do I sound like I'm ranting?

I thought not.

I mean, how much stuff can ONE guy get remembered for?

Why is it that we care about him so much and all he does is leaves and makes everybody miserable?

Yeah, I said it. We ALL care about him. Even I. Even Vegeta and Piccolo and anybody else who doesn't want to admit it because if we didn't, we wouldn't be so upset about this long disappearance of his.

It feels almost as bad as when I saw my brother kill my husband before my eyes.

I was kinda close to Goku because of my relationship with Krillin. He told me about all their times together as children and I listened ya know? I was curious and interested and the look on Krillin's face was priceless when he spoke of those times. I just wanted him to be happy like that all the time. I wanted him to fell like that around me no matter what was happening. It felt kinda bad to know that only Goku could make him that happy.

But it was hopeless. Because as soon as Goku returned, he left. And now he's been gone for almost eight years.

I've seen Krillin smile plenty of times through those years but never have I ever seen him with that glisten of mischief he normally has when Goku's visiting.

And it's not just Krillin.

My little girl is even acting strange. I mean, she's not little anymore but she's different. When she stops by, it's almost awkward talking to her. It's like I went to my own little world as did she. Krillin smiles and makes conversation but it's just not the same.

Chich hasn't been her self since he left either, obviously. Her eyes are always red and she barely talks and eats. Goten and Gohan are handling it a bit better. Gohan in his studies and Goten averting his attention to dating.

The only positive effect it seemed to have on anybody was Vegeta. His attitude towards everyone has improved. I mean, he still acts like a jackass from time to time but he smiles and jokes and actually participates in our little discussions. I know I'm not the only one who noticed either.

Yet, he seems unfulfilled. Without Goku around, why train? There's no one to get stronger then now that he's the most powerful.

But my reaction to the whole thing?

I'm trying my best to just shrug it off and move on with the rest of my life but its hard because nobody else is.

When I'm the happiest person around you know some thing's wrong.

So, I need Goku to return home.

I don't know if you can hear me pipsqueak, but they need you home. We need you home. Do it for your wife. Your kids. Your family. Your friends.

And, if not for them, do it for the Earth.

Because I mean, what's a planet without Goku?
