I own no Dragon Ball series
Goku Jr. walked down the streets of the big city. It was a long way coming here, almost two hours and he took a bus. He knew he really shouldn't be here, especially alone. He didn't really like the big cities. Too much potential to run into trouble. That's what scared Grandma Chi chi. She thought Grandpa Goku was a crazy stalker.
But he felt he had to come. His Grandpa was so nice to him and was always helping him out whenever he was around, and this sounded like it was important to him. So this may be a good opportunity to help him out for once. Plus this café Grandma chi chi works at supposedly makes great bagels from what he had heard.
When he finally made it to the café it suddenly occurred to him. He had no idea what this woman looked like. Yes he had seen old pictures of her in Grandma Pan's scrapbooks but she probably didn't look like that anymore and she probably didn't go by Chi chi anymore either.
This was going to be harder than he thought. He wanted a chance to talk with her and clear up that misunderstanding that Grandpa had caused. Maybe even put in a good word for him too.
Poor Goku Jr knew what it was like to not be able to get a girl to like him, not that there was any girl in particular that wanted or that he was a player or anything, but it would help his confidence at least a little if one girl in his class didn't stick up their nose at him. The girls in school teased him for being so short and baby faced. He was often mistaken for being younger than he really was.
Grandma Pan had told him that Sayians age slower than most humans. From what he had heard Grandpa Gohan's voice still cracked when he was 18 years old, and uncle Goten was mistaken for a teenager until he was 30! It was one of those things he'd be grateful for when he'd become an old man but as for right now he dreaded the embarrassing prospect of not starting puberty until he was 15.
It sounded like a Sayian could use all the help they could get when it came to the ladies. He was happy to help his grandpa if he really liked this lady.
He looked around the café. It was about 3:00 in the afternoon, so he didn't have to worry about it being too busy. The lunch rush was over by now. There probably wouldn't be as many waitresses on duty at the moment either so all he had to do was narrow down the ones that were here. Then again, what if she wasn't working today? Maybe this was a bad idea- whoa, wait a minute!
He did a double take. There was one waitress in particular that was definitely familiar. It was only for a second but he could swear that he saw a woman from his grandma's scrapbook. When the second was over he knew it wasn't her. She didn't dress the same and she was of a completely different ethnicity, but the way her hair was tied up in a bun and the look in her dark eyes were exactly like Grandma Chi chi's.
He had never looked for a person's reincarnation before so he didn't exactly know how to go about it but he had a pretty good idea he should start with her.
She stood behind the counter wiping it down. Goku Jr. took a deep breath as he walked up to it and sat down. He probably should have put more thought into what he was going to say to her.
"Uh hi miss, um could I get a toasted blueberry bagel?" Well it was a start.
She looked down at him and smiled. "Sure thing sweetie." As she was preparing the bagel she politely started up a conversation with him. "So are you here with your momma, cutie pie?"
Goku Jr. let out a frustrated sigh. Yet again he was mistaken for being younger than he actually was. "No, I'm ten. I took the bus here by myself. My name is Goku Jr. And I um think you may be the person I'm looking for."
She raised an eyebrow at him as she set his blueberry bagel in front of him. "What do you want with me GJ?" She asked curiously.
"Uh well" He stuttered out. "A few nights ago on your way home from work did you happen to run into a man who looks like me?" He mentally cursed at how pathetic he was sure he sounded.
Chimerra was taken back by the question. Who was this kid?
"That guy was my grandpa. He didn't mean to scare you that night, he's sorry for doing that. Really he's harmless, he just wanted a chance to talk to you. Looking back at it cornering you on a city street at night was a bad way to go about it but-"
"Hold up!" She interrupted him. "GJ, did you say 'grandpa'?" She had no trouble believing that that guy and this kid were related. This kid could be his little clone, but 'grandpa? Looking back she couldn't exactly pinpoint the man's age but even if he had kids at a young age and then those kids had kids at a young age, it was still pretty far fetched that he could have a ten year old grandson.
"Actually he's my great, great grandpa Goku, but that just seemed so long that we had to shorten it." After he said that he knew that it felt like weird thing to say to this lady as his grandpa's wingman. Maybe looking too young wasn't the only reason he couldn't get a girlfriend.
Chimerra gave him an incredulous look. "You kidding me?"
"No it really was too long. I could never keep track of how many greats there were." Another voice chimed in.
Both GJ and Chimerra practically jumped at his sudden appearance. When did he get here?
"Jeez grandpa, what are you a ninja?" GJ spoke up.
Chimerra was much more taken back at his sudden appearance. She let out a shriek at seeing him again. As she backed away from him she pointed her finger at him accusingly and forgetting that she was at work she threatened. "You stay away from me, you hear! I- I have a rape whistle!"
"Ah no don't!" Goku put his hands up in defense. He didn't know what a rape whistle was, but if it was anything like that spray stuff she used on him last time, he didn't want to.
"Hey there's no reason for that, we are in café full of people remember?" GJ spoke up as the voice of reason.
"Oh yeah…" Chimera suddenly realized. The last thing she wanted to do was make a scene, she was trying to break that habit.
She glared at the tall spiky haired man for a minute longer. He still looked a little on edge, like he was bracing himself for her onslaught. Then she looked around. The café might not be extremely crowded, but there were plenty of people here to bare witness if he tried anything.
"Fine. You've got something to say, spit it out!" She snapped at him. She'd listen, but she wouldn't get any closer, she still didn't trust him.
GJ sighed in relief that things didn't get out of control. Then he looked to his grandfather. He may have terrible luck talking to girls but this was his wife. Surely he had a plan as to what to say to her.
"Okay." Goku replied as he let his guard down a little when he was a little more certain she wouldn't attack. "What I wanted to tell you the other night was that My name is Goku and I've been looking for you for a while because you're the reincarnation of my deceased wife, and I want to try and ask you about how you would feel about picking up where we left off."
Gj did a face plant.
Chimerra just stared at him waiting for the punch line to this weird joke. Yet after a few moments of silence it didn't come. Maybe she had just heard him wrong.
"What?" She muttered out.
"Well you see when a person dies their soul goes to either heaven or hell, or to the kai's to get training but that's a whole other thing. After spending some time in the afterlife, their souls are reborn again into a living being with no memories of their previous life, and we call this reincarnation. It can happen to any soul any time. Maybe they'll spend a trillion years in the afterlife or maybe a day. I had this one friend named Uub who was reincarnated in the same week he died, but that's because I made a wish that he would, you see in his previous life he-"
"What are you talking about!" She snapped getting fed up with this man's nonsense.
"You're right, I'm babbling." He said as he scratched the side of his cheek in slight embarresment. "Well the point is my wife Chi chi was reincarnated into you 18 years ago. I've been looking for you ever since I found out. You see I'm an immortal and I don't really want to have all this power but live forever alone so I was thinking that since you're technically Chi chi you could just come and be my wife again like you were before, what do say?"
Gj and Goku waited in silence for a moment just for some sort of response out of her. Goku was surprised by her storming away angrily, but Gj wasn't surprised at all after that explanation, and he thought he was bad a talking to ladies.
"I'm going on break!" Chimerra announced as she ripped off her apron."
"Hey where are you going?" Goku asked as he followed her. Maybe she just needed to be sold on the subject. "Hear me out. Marriage isn't all that bad. You can cook and clean the house, while I go out to train for a while. It's hard sometimes, but there are a lot of good times too. Like how sometimes at night when we're in bed but we're not sleepy yet we make love and that's a lot of fun-"
"DON'T FOLLOW ME CRAZY MAN! YOU NEED TO BE COMMITED!" she yelled back but did not stop to look at him, she didn't slow down her fast paced walk, she just wanted to be away from him. That's what she got for listening to him. She should have just followed her instinct and kicked him out of the café.
She was so mad she almost walked right past Ophelia who had just entered. "Hey girl you-"
"WHATEVER IT IS, YES! JUST GET ME AWAY FROM HERE!" She grabbed her girlfriend's arm and practically dragged her along with her out the door.
"Chi chi! Wait!" Goku tried to call out to her.
"LOOK!" She snapped at him as she finally turned back to talk to him. "SEE HER? THIS IS MY GIRLFRIEND WE'RE A LESBIEN COUPLE! I'VE GOT NO INTEREST IN BEING YOU'RE WIFE, YOU'RE WIFE'S STAND IN, OR YOU MENTAL INSTITUTION NURSE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S CLEAR YOU'RE IN DESPERATE NEED OF THAT LAST ONE! SO JUST LEAVE ME ALONE FROM NOW ON! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?"
And with that she stormed off again, dragging a confused Ophelia in tow.
Goku, who at this point joined by his great, great grandson just watched her go. It was clear there was nothing more that could be said to her when she was like this.
GJ had just came in at the end of that little rant but he could still he hear her screaming all the way from inside.
His eyes were wide and his mouth was agape as he mulled things over in his brain. His grandmother was over a hundred year old sassy martial arts master, his great, great grandfather was an all powerful, immortal being born on another planet, and his great, great grandmother was a homosexual black 18 year old café waitress. He needed to go home and lay down.
Goku had a something else going on in his head and he voiced it out loud to the ten-year-old boy.
"What's a 'lesbian couple' mean?"
"The nerve of that freak!" Chimerra muttered to herself as she stirred the pot of stew on her kitchen counter. Usually cooking calmed her down. It was her favorite hobby, but after a day like today she was just too upset to think about anything other than what had happened.
"Be with that guy? As if! I already told myself I am done with men for good and this man is off his nut! What would momma say if one afternoon I brought home an immortal white guy as my husband? She'd have a heart attack! Wait a minute what am I saying the guy's not really an immortal, he's just crazy!"
As she was letting out her frustrations on their dinner, her mother walked though the door. "I'm home."
Chimerra turned to see her mother slump down onto a kitchen chair. She looked completely exhausted. Suddenly, her own problems didn't seem so important.
"What's wrong Momma?" She asked with genuine concern in her voice.
"Oh I am just tired. Long day." She replied.
Chimerra always worried about how hard her mother worked. She needed to work two jobs just so they could make rent. She was barely ever home and that's why Chimerra did the cooking and cleaning. Anything to help take some of the work load off her mother's shoulders.
"Um Momma. I was thinking. If I get this scholarship, than it would mean that I probably wouldn't need such a big paycheck. We could use that extra money for-"
"I know where this is going. Don't underestimate school sweet heart. You're gonna need all the money you can get, and I am not going to take any of your hard earned cash away from you. You earned it."
Chimerra and her mother lived in an apartment with two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a small kitchen and living room. It wasn't all that fancy. The rooms were small and the walls were thin. Ever since her father left, money had been pretty tight, but her mother wanted her to have the best education she could get. She saved up a little for her, she let chimera get a job, she made her go out for scholarships, anything that would help, and she would always refuse when her daughter offered up her hard earned money. She'd sooner work 24 hours a day than take her daughter's money.
Chimerra stared at her mother softly. She respected her mother almost as much as she hated her father for taking all their money and their big house in the divorce. She couldn't tell her mother about this guy that was bothering her. It would just give her too much unneeded stress; especially after the scare she put her mom through last year with that other guy.
She smiled fondly at her tired mother. "Dinner is almost ready, are you hungry?"
Oooooh more mysteries.
I don't know about this chapter I'm a little iffy on it, tell me what you think you guys.
