AN: Okay, I got a great amount of reviews for last chapter. I'm glad that you all like it! Seeing that all who reviewed gave me the same response that I had been hoping for, I will start by explaining some of the things by answering your reviews.
elianni: How you knew it was going to be Broly was beyond me, but I give you kudos for that. I am glad that you like this story, and I hope you continue to read and review!
LVR4TrunksnVegeta: Broly will have a big part in this fic. I have reasons for putting him in here. Yes, to answer your other question. Vegeta will meet Bulma when Goku comes home to meet Chichi. As I also said, it will be awhile before they actually get together. You know who is going to be in the way for some time. It's all part of my master plan. I was hoping that you couldn't wait for more. Thanks :)
foxstarkiller: You are welcome! My goal in life is to be nice to everyone. If it weren't for the reviews, then I wouldn't have the will to write. You guys deserve it. My plan is for Eighteen and Krillin to get together sometime. She went easy on him because she was vaguely interested. I'll say one thing: she likes to make her brother mad. What's going to happen with him and Chichi? You'll see. Vegeta's part in all of this will become apparent in future chapters. If this goes the way I want it to, Vegeta will learn as much as Bulma will. I will keep up the good work. Thanks!
Liaana: I know. I didn't think anybody would. One person did, and that's awesome! I hope you continue to read and review! It keeps me going! personally, I do love the Goku and Chichi pairing, but not the way Chichi acts. So I toned down her bitchieness a bit and spiced up other traits. I haven't put them all in here yet, so be looking forward to seeing what I have added/subtracted from her personality. Thanks for your review!
VBFTW: Thanks for the review! As I explained, you'll just have to see. Oh, and Broly will. That's inevitable. I was hoping that someone would read that part! I thought it would get some laughs out of people. Thanks for pointing out the mistakes! I have corrected them, and I hope they are better now! Thanks for the review again!
WWingWisher: I'm glad that you loved it! I will give you an update, and here it is! Thanks for pointing that out. I was always wondering about how to spell each. It makes me wonder why Krillin even named his child after his ex. That's why she's now Yamcha's ex instead of his. I fixed it for you. Thanks for the review, and I hope you continue to read and review!
Now that's out of the way, on with the fic!
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
"This needs to be put here... and that needs to be put there..." Chichi mumbled to herself, straightening a picture that she had hung above her bed. She stepped back, taking a moment to look at her master piece. She had spent the day hanging up pictures of her childhood around her spot in the dorm. She stood back further, using both thumbs and pointer fingers as a camera. With her tongue sticking out, she studied, making sure that all was as it should be. She caught a crooked picture out of the corner of her eye.
"That's not right." She murmured, stepping forward to fix it. As she was about to fix it, she heard the distant sounds of bells ringing, signaling that another hour had been through. Her head shot to the window. "They've been out for two hours. How long will they be gone?" She hook her head. Se smiled faintly as she recalled that her friend was a social butterfly. She loved the thought of new and cute boys. "That Bulma, always finding someone else. But did she have to leave me?" She went back to work with the thought bouncing around in her head. That was when she caught a glimpse of the picture that she sought to fix.
She went to work on fixing it, spacing out. It was a picture of her before she had moved to her new life. She was posing in front of a palace, with her arm around her fathers waist. Her father was a portly man, with thick glasses. He had on thick robes, and her mother was on the mans back, holding up two fingers behind her fathers head. They all were grinning huge, happy in that moment.
She lived in England before this, and she was the daughter of the Ox King. Her mind wandered back to that era in time. She was in her seventh grade year of school, and was one of the most popular girls. She didn't gain that status because she was rich: everybody there was filthy rich. She was popular because of her charming attitude and how friendly she was towards other people. It was hard to believe that people of such status were nice, and thought of such nice people in that way, but it was true.
She had it good there. So why move to a different place, to another continent? She had to. It started as a foreign exchange to a permanent thing in the space of two months. She had came to the states, leaving her friends behind, leaving everything behind that she held so dearly to her heart. The plush land.. the great family that she had... She had given up on going back totally when she fell in love with Goku. In the months that followed, he had stolen her heart.
He used to be the bad boy; the very guy that threw punches for no reason. He was rude to his grandfather, and had disobeyed all the rules. She had always, before that, tried to avoid those kinds of guys. All throughout eighth grade, he had been trying to get her attention. At first, they were all ignored. He had been a wild child, trying to impress her with his bad attitude.
After she had chewed him out for hitting this scrawny kid, one that had done nothing to deserve it (and moved away for that fact) , Goku had really seemed to listen to her. He started to realize that to get her respect, he had to change for the better. So, after that, he had changed his tactics, acting like he was trying to be more considerate to others. She had become interested in him after that. She asked him to escort her to the ice cream shop, and things went on from there.
After a month had gone by, Goku really had a change in heart. He soon stopped acting like he was a better person than he actually was. He just started doing. He had told her that one day. He really changed because of the kindness that she had shown a little kid, who had stole money from her. She even let him have it, letting him off with a warning. It had shown him what life could be like.
When her family heard that she wouldn't return, her freshman year of high school, they had requested her back to her birth place, bringing the man who had captured her heart. The first break that they'd got from school, was when they flew to England immediately. With arguing and tears, and farewells, she came back, living up until now in the states.
She did miss her parents and friends, but her life was with Goku, and nothing would ever change that.
This is what he needed.
One long walk in the fresh air. That should have done him good. But as he walked back up the winding sidewalk to the looming school, he realized that it hadn't. It all still came rushing back to him.
He should have been the one to have her, not that annoying pest that had her. His mood rose with the dark thoughts that flooded his mind. What he'd do to the man if he ever saw him again. The woman had talked to him the most before the man took her. Just when someone had the nerve to actually be nice to him arrived, he had to swoop in and take her. Change her.
Well, not for the worse, but not necessarily for the better, either. When she had crossed his path, she said hi, smiled, but then was on her way, smiling at another man. Which angered him.
Broly stomped up the stairs, not even bothering to take the elevator. Walking down the long hallway of dorms, full of people laughing and getting ready, he remembered the very reason he had rushed out of that room. Why did she have to choose the low life over him? Of all things, why did she fall in love with the very man that had contributed to Broly moving to anther school.
Upon entering the room, he instantly found that girl, the one who had stolen his heart, lost in space, probably thinking about that very man he despised.
She smiled, remembering the one christmas that her and Goku had sent over in England.
"I don't think that those two will be back any time soon." The rough voice said in a quiet tone, still managing to startle Chichi from her thoughts. Jumping, she turned to face him. In that moment, she felt as though it was deja vu, like she had known him at a point.
With a hand over her pounding heart, she opened her mouth to answer. "Oh dear. You startled me, Broly." She soon recovered, now smiling. He looked a bit mad, which didn't phase her. Maybe he was mad that their room mates had not arrived back yet. "It's only been two hours."
He gave her a quizzical look, making her blush. "It's six. Well past the two hour mark, Chichi."
Looking at the clock, Chichi realized that he was telling the truth. Giggling to herself, she remembered what had made the time pass. "Oops." "When were they going to get back?"
"It may take awhile." He said, as if he could read her thoughts. "Hey, do you want to take a walk with me?"
She felt her face get hot. "Sure. I've nothing better to do, so might as well." Gathering her stuff, she followed him out of the room, locking it behind them. As she followed him, she couldn't quite put her finger on why his presence felt so familiar, like they had been in this situation before.
"It's a beautiful day out, don't you think, Broly?" Chichi asked out of the blue, only to get a grunt. Maybe that was his was of saying yes. Silence fell upon the couple. Many trees aligned either side of the sidewalk that they walked on, the sun peeking down through the leaves. Birds could be heard from every direction. The singing that they sung to each other soothed the mind of Chichi. She grew comfortable in the silence.
As the walk progressed, the raven haired woman caught the movement of a big tree, seemingly dabbed right in the middle of the place. Her eyes went wide. Broly stopped walking. Looking at him, Chichi became confused. "Why did we stop?" She asked softly, oblivious to the fact that she was the one who stopped first..
He was now gazing at the tree. "You stopped first."
Looking back at the tree, Chichi had the urge to sit beneath it. "Hey, let's go sit."
Before he knew it, she was pulling him over there, plopping right down. He just stood there, gazing at her.
"Come on, silly! sit down. Relax." She coaxed. He really looked like he needed it. She patted the ground next to her, waiting expectantly.
He could drown in her brown eyes if he didn't watch where he was going. He couldn't resist, and sat down with another grunt.
The thought of him being familiar once again shot to her mind. To think about it, even the name Broly seemed to sound familiar. The words shot out of her mouth before she could stop them. "Do I know you?"
He grunted, looking away. Of course she didn't remember him. Which wasn't her fault; he had grown. He used to be a scrawny boy, but when he had moved, he decided that he was going to change, to make Chichi see what she was missing. He worked out a lot, and had became one fine young man in his time apart from her and to all who bullied him.
A hand fell upon his shoulder. Tearing his eyes off of what his mind wanted him to focus on, he fell into the beauties eyes. "Seriously. It feels like I've known you for awhile." Her eyes were wide, and he could see the honest expression in them. His heart thumped at the thought of her actually having the faintest clue that she has know him for awhile.
Damn those eyes that he could get lost in. He gave in. Sighing, he opened his mouth to speak. "You do know me. I know you. We know each other." He looked away again, becoming uncomfortable. He moved around a bit.
"How?" Her melodic voice reached his ears. She had said that quietly.
"School. When you first moved here." He answered bluntly.
She gasped. Even that sound was music to his ears. "I remember you! Very clearly now! I'm glad that I can breathe knowing that I'm not being paranoid!"
What surprised him the most was when she threw herself against him, clenching hard. The breath whooshed out of him. Not for the fact that she physically took it out of him from the hug, but for the fact that she was so enthusiastic about it. He tensed up. As she held him longer, he relaxed. All to soon, she was pulling away. He could feel the loos of warmth of the contact.
"Yes. How have you been?" He asher her, actually feeling the need to talk more to her.
"I've been good! I graduated, and I'm here! You? You look so different!" Her smile was ear to ear. He cracked a smile.
"Good. After I moved, I started to work out. People started to treat me differently too." His full attention was now on her.
"I can tell. Have you found yourself a girlfriend? I bet that you have been through many."
"Well, only one, but that only lasted for a week before I, along with twenty-seven other guys found out that she'd been cheating on us. You?" The last part came out of his mouth before he could stop it. He mentally cursed himself. "Why'd you have to go and say that?" He scolded himself.
His heart beat with rage as her eyes became dreamy.
"Still in love with him, I see." His mind hissed, his fists clenching.
"Nope, only Goku. He really has changed since you last saw him!" She told Broly.
Breathe in..."
"I love him with all my heart." She continued.
"Breathe out..."
When he remained quiet, she looked over, only to see him look royally pissed. "Hey, what's wrong?"
He opened his mouth to let out what was inside when he got interrupted.
Ac couple waked by, stopping. All of a sudden, two people who looked very familiar, one a bluenette, and the other a raven long haired man blurred over to them, cutting Broly off.
"Bulma! Yamcha!" Chichi exclaimed, surprised to see them. She stopped right in her track when the bluenette opened her mouth to speak: she barreled into Broly.
"BROLY!" The very unfamiliar female screeched, giggling profusely. Chichi looked again at the guy, realizing that he looked vaguely familiar.
"Hey, Maron." Broly replied in a monotone voice.
"Where's Yamcha?" She sang, her voice already getting annoying.
"He's on a date." Broly pulled the overly friendly girl off of him. He looked over to the other guy. The guy who looked vaguely like Goku.
Seeing the looks that he was getting, the other guy waved. "Hey, my name if Raditz, and I am a professor here."
AN: Well, longer than my others, thats for sure. I wrote this chapter on these two to actually set out a little of Broly's back ground, and a bit of Chichi's. It was my intent to do so. I hope you guys got a better feel about these two.
Oh my! the surprises! Raditz is a professor!
What is Nappa going to be, one would ask?
Don't make Chichi cheat on Goku, you say!
What's going to happen next, you wonder?
All in the next chapter! (Maybe :))
Thanks to all who reviewed again! And to all who read! Loves y'all!
