I'd like to start this chapter off by answering some questions.
Debby: In the DB universe they have places based off places in our world but they are not exactly like ours. For example Mt. Paoz is based off of a mountain range in China, capsule corp. is in a city that I think is inspired by a large Japanese city, so to answer your question no, she is not an American because there is no America in the DB universe but I suppose the city she lives in could be similar to an American city if that answers your question. If not let me know.
Isabelle Prado: Thanks for the kisses. It makes me feel appreciated.
I own No Dragon Ball series.
"Mom is a what?" Goten asked in disbelief.
"18 year old, black lesbian waitress. I told you." Goku answered his son
After that little disagreement with his wife, Goku decided to get a new perspective on the situation. He decided to go to Other world to see his friends and sons. They had been summoned to train with the kais after their deaths.
Goku wanted to speak with them right away but when he got there he got a little distracted by all the sparring matches that were going on around him and he wanted to see how they all progressed in their training so they spent about almost two days earth time fighting.
When they finally took a break, that's when he sat down to tell them.
"Wow, Dad how do you feel about all this?" Gohan just had to ask. It was awful that his mother no longer remembered them. It seemed as though in his entire life from the moment he was born, to the moment he died and then on, he could always rely on his parents. Now his mother just wasn't… Mother anymore. All of her devotion to their family that had helped inspire him to start a family of his own was wiped out of her mind. If he felt this bad, he could only imagine how his father felt.
"Well if what Goku Jr told me about lesbians is right than it's kind of a relief. It wasn't my fault that she turned me down. I didn't do anything wrong. That's just how it works."
As usual everyone was floored by his easygoing attitude. Unless it was a life or death situation, problems like these would just roll right off of him.
"Man that is just crazy." Krillian said. "Why does she like girls?"
"Probably for the same reasons we like girls." Yamcha replied.
Krillian thought about that for a moment. "….. Yeah those are good reasons."
"It certainly does make things tricky." Goku mused. If she was attracted to ladies, there was nothing he could do compete with that. He wasn't lady like at all and considering how most ladies he knew acted, he was kind of glad not to be.
"Dad do you really think this is a good idea to pursue this any further? I mean if she's gay, there's really nothing you can do, and considering what you've told me so far, it sounds like what you're doing is just harassing her." Goten suggested.
"Hey I've been in tough situations before haven't I? What have I always taught you boys? Never give up."
Gohan sighed. "Listen Dad, I know this is a big thing to accept but you are an immortal now. Even if you do manage to win her over, she'll just grow old, die and get reincarnated again and you'll be the same. It happens to every dead soul."
"Well not to us because we've been specially chosen to train." Uub chimed in.
Well yeah, okay, not us, but it'll happen to everyone else over in heaven and hell. Reincarnation is just a natural part of the afterlife. You live, you die, you spend some time in the afterlife and then you live again. It could happen ten million years after your death or only a few hours, nobody can tell for certain." Gohan continued.
"It'll even happen to Videl someday and when that day comes, whether it be tomorrow or an eternity from now, it'll be very sad for me but I accept it."
"Maybe." Goku reasoned, but then he gave them a compelling counter argument that none of them were prepared for.
"But you're rooted to this dimension. If you could still see her, touch her, even after her time to be reborn comes, wouldn't you do something? Could you really stay away and ignore her? I mean what's the point of having all the time in the world without someone to share it with?"
The group of men all sat in silence, they were all in deep thought about what Goku had just said, until they finally came to a conclusion. They all shook their heads yes and agreed
"Yeah. You go get her dad." Gohan said. It was all he needed to hear to be convinced. His father was completely right. There would be no way to let Videl go if he could hold her the way his dad now has the opportunity to hold his mom, even if she'd never recognize him. If there was any way he'd take full advantage of it.
But what are you going to do to get her to like you?" Trunks asked curiously.
Goku opened his mouth to say something, when he was suddenly struck by an ominous feeling. She was in trouble!
"I gotta go." He said in a rushed tone, and without any explanation further, he instant transmission himself out of there.
Chimerra could not wait for this night to end. It was the busiest night they've had in a long time. Two buses filled with hungry young lacrosse players came in to dine after a big win. For over an hour and half there were no seats or dining tables to be spared, and boy did they leave a mess. They should have been done with closing an hour ago but thanks to them this was taking forever.
At least they were almost done. There were only three customers left in the café and boy did she want them to leave. They were three college boys, obviously drunk, just free loading on a night on the town. Couldn't they do that some place else?
Chimerra caught one of them pouring the contents of a flask of alcohol into his coffee while the other two just laughed like idiots.
"Hey. We don't allow that here! Take your booze and go!"
"Aw come on, baby." One of them slurred.
"We are trying to close! Now shoo!" She would not put up with their crap.
As she walked over to the counter and began to wipe it down. She heard those three boys again. They walked right up to her and the ringleader of the group of idiots said, "Hey baby, I couldn't help but notice you looking at me back there. You wanna ditch this place and party with us?"
She was in no mood for this. "You must be more wasted than I thought."
"Aw come on, don't be a bitch." One of them cooed at her as he reached up to stoke her cheek.
She smacked his hand away. "DON'T TOUCH ME!"
SMACK!
The next thing she knew she felt his hand connect with the side of her face. The forced knocked her back into the counter and she fell to the floor face first.
For a moment dizzy stars clouded her vision but the three scumbag's menacing chuckles brought her back to reality. They thought that was funny, and Chimerra knew even before they started to approach her that they wanted to have some more fun, in ways that completely petrified her down to her core.
No, this couldn't be happening! Not here! Not in her favorite café, her second home, where she always felt safe! This was a total violation in so many ways!
She shut her eyes as she tried to think of something to stop them quick! But after a moment went by, she didn't feel anything. In fact she heard footsteps. What in the world?
She cracked open her eyes to see what was happening and looked up surprised to see the crazy man from the other day, Goku walking around the three boys and putting himself in between them and her. There was something about him that was different form before. His eyes held angry intensity. His posture, his walk everything about him was intimidating. Every movement held power in it and demanded respect. He meant business and was not afraid to show it. Not even for a moment did he take his glaring black eyes off of the three college boys and even in their drunken state of mind they could see his rage and that's why they backed away and gave him and Chimerra who was still on the ground behind him space.
"Make a single moment closer to her and I won't be held responsible for what happens to you." Goku threatened.
He didn't want things here to get messy. Well in some way he did. He wanted to punish these boys for raising their hand to harm his woman, but he understood the consequences of what that would lead to. He always thought best in these situations that called for action. These boys were nothing and with all the power he had he would probably destroy them and most of this city block if he tried anything, not a good thing to do inside Chi's work place, or in front of her at all. He just hoped that they would have the sense to walk away.
The boys glared at him for a minute longer. It was clear he wasn't backing down. "Man, she's not worth this shit!" and they walked out the door.
Goku's features softened slightly; crisis averted. He turned around and stretched his hand out towards the girl, offering her help back up to her feet.
Chimerra was still in shock about what just happened. That was a close call, and this guy of all people came to her rescue? The person she was sure she would try it on her when they first met? She had a lot of things going on in her head. She needed time to think. She ignored Goku's offering and shakily pulled herself off the floor. She didn't notice his concerned expression.
"Uh um. Thanks." She sputtered out, clearly frazzled by the recent trauma. Even Goku could read the anxiety on her face. It was the weirdest thing. Chi chi never looked like that, so lost looking, so shaken to the point of not knowing what to do. Chi chi was never an indecisive person. This was such a strange look on her.
Chimerra took a few shaky steps one way, then the other, like she was pacing. She didn't know what to do with her self. Her eyes kept shifting to everything in the room but Goku.
"Uh, um, it, it's closing time, so- s-so you shouldn't be here… You should be somewhere else… um not that I'm ungrateful for what you…. Not that I asked you to… that is…"
"Hey are you okay?" He asked concerned, taking a step towards her.
Chimerra didn't know what did it, but a damn broke inside. "NO I'M NOT! I HATE GUYS! I ESPECIALLY HATE GUYS LIKE THAT! THINKING THAT THEY CAN USE THEIR STRENGTH TO MAKE ME DO WHATEVER THEY WANT! WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING, AND IT'S ALWAYS SOME PLACE THAT I JUST ASSUME IS SAFE! MY HOME, MY WORK, SCHOOL! I'M ON A SIDEWALK ON A CITY STREET AT NIGHT AND WHEN I HAVE MY GUARD UP AND I'M READY FOR HIM, HE TURNS OUT TO BE A REGULAR GUY. A WIERDO, ABSOLUTLY, BUT ONE WHO WOULD LATTER COME IN AND RESCUE ME AND CONFUSE ME LIKE THERE'S NO TOMARROW! WHY, WHY ME? WHY IS IT WHEN I'M LEAST EXPECTING IT? WHY?"
"I don't know!" Goku yelped. Now this was the chi chi he remembered. Just as loud and scary as ever.
Chimerra was panting by the end of her speech. It felt good to get that off her chest but at the same time she felt a little bad because she was letting it out at an inappropriate time, place and on the wrong person."
"Aw man." Chimerra just slumped down into a chair.
Goku stared at her in silence. He really wasn't sure of what to do. "Um…" He rubbed the back of his neck. "Maybe we should sit and talk about this?"
"I don't think that's such a good-"
"Please?"
He didn't really know what to do. He didn't know if there was anything to say, or if talking would make her feel better. He was so bad at these kinds of things. The odds were against him. He barely knew his wife anymore and the things that he did know were not stacked in his favor. I mean she was gay after all. But he knew he had to give it a try. He did know one thing for sure after all. He really didn't want to leave her like this after what had just happened.
Chimerra stared at his pleading facial expression. He was practically begging her. He looked like a puppy that wanted a treat so bad. She couldn't say no to a face like that. Something inside of her just melted. A voice inside of her whispered for her to do it.
"All right take a seat."
