The last "real" gift Goku had given his wife was back in '92 before Gohan was born. As he swiveled in his stool, stuffing a couple nachos through his partially full mouth, the middle-aged Saiyan lingered on the memory. Even now he could remember placing the keys to a used Mustang Convertible in ChiChi's hands. It was old, but it felt new. The image of ChiChi's face dropping with worry and simultaneously lighting up with wonder was something Goku strangely cherished. Then again, he cherished most of the expressions that he had witnessed on his wife's face throughout their marriage. It was true he indulged many years ago just to see that expression on her face. He smiled goofily at the thought.
At the moment, Goku's friend, Old man Herb, had been bouncing the temptation off of Goku to buy ChiChi an anniversary present. It was a fairly convincing argument. Herb's voice belched again as he proceeded to pressure Goku. On the topic of vehicles, Herb's voice was sort of akin to an engine. It wasn't steady and strong like a Convertible Mustang, however. It was grumbling and loud like a garbage truck.
"Sometimes ya jest have to ferget yar worries." Herb gruffly mumbled. He brought his fingers up and rubbed his whisker coated chin. "A Mustang you says? You bought yer wife a Mustang and you ain't got her nothing since?"
"Well…" Goku hoarsely broke his voice into the one-sided conversation. "My gift...you see-"
"Tell it, I can't hear you when yar whining." Herb barked.
"My gift has always been to take care of things… I mean, you know, taking care of stuff." Goku's face landed with shame into his palm as he hid his eyes. Herb leaned over from the other side of the bar.
"Goku, I'll buy it, I'm jest worried that yar wife hates you." Herb's tobacco stained breath buzzed across the bar to Goku.
"Neither of us could forgive ourselves if we let you!" Goku refused.
"Boy, if you don't git something for that woman, I swear I will." Herb folded his arms across his chest. Goku waved an aggravated hand at him, no longer having a vocal protest.
"I'll take care of it. I promise." Goku shoved more nachos into his mouth.
