Bulma stood by the window in her office watching the gravity simulator outside. Vegeta had gone inside once they got back home. He didn't say much when they got back. She was beyond tired but she wanted to see what they found. Clad in boyshorts, a tshirt that reached her thighs, hair in a bun on top of her head, and glasses on she was defiantly ready for bed. She sipped coffee as she waited for the computer to download all the information collected from the external drive.

Bulma was trying to process if she was pissed beyond belief at Spike for stalking Chi Chi again or if it was the fact that she never caught onto him doing it again. If he was here right now she would teach that demented pervert a valuable lesson in 'Vegeta terms. 'I could wrap my bare hands around his neck….' Bulma growled trying to hold back how pissed she was at herself for not catching on. Needing to release some of the steam, she let go and threw her coffee mug out the window in front of her. Turning around she stalked back to her desk and sat down.

The screen lit up then and 'finished' popped up onto the screen. 'Finally' Bulma dove head first into the data. Typing away at the keyboard and clicking around file to file Bulma became more and more confused. 'What the hell? There is nothing on here, or at least none of this makes sense. Well here's the norm for him stalking ,Chi Chi. Pictures of her, her class schedule from last semester. Private investigator….he had someone follow her GRRRREAT….Invitations, food purchases for a ball, music, etc. All I see are invoices for a ball the size for royalty. Wait a second-2 million bank transfer? Plane tickets?...' Bulma stared at the screen

"eh hem, woman!" Vegeta cleared his throat and poked Bulma in the back of her head.

Bulma jumped from her seat and screamed."WHAT THE HELL VEGETA?!"

Vegta chuckled at Bulmas reaction. "Watch where you throw things next time." Vegeta set the coffee mug Bulma threw out the window on her desk. Before leaving Vegeta looked Bulma up and down with a smirk that graced his lips. He looked directly at bulma then turned and walked away into the hall.

Bulma glared at Vegeta walking away. Huffing she turned back around to sit down. Before she could sit back down her arm was grabbed and she was pulled into a rock hard chest.

Vegeta lowered his head and whispered into Bulmas ear. "I do belive you owe me for tonight, Bulma..."

Bulma was flustered and she couldn't remember how to breathe for a second. A shiver ran thru her body once Vegeta spoke to her and she pulled back looking straight up at him. "OOO is that so Prince."

Vegeta smirked and bent his head down to Bulma lips. Licking his own he looked into Bulmas eyes "Its Prince Vegeta to you my good lady."

Bulma wrapped her arms around his neck. She crashed her lips to Vegetas and jumped up to wrap her legs around Vegeta's waist. 'Data can wait, this now…cannot.'

The Sun started to peak threw the blinds of a window and settled onto Chi Chis face. Moaning in protest She rolled to her right to look at the clock. She was stopped by a warm body and froze. Chi Chi sat straight up and looked down at the figure next to her 'Goku?….no shirt on…..whaa…. So it wasn't a dream, it was real.' Chi chi blushed bright red. Goku laid there with a hand above his head and the other draped along the top of where Chi Chi fell asleep. She went to poke him and he didn't move, he was dead asleep.

Chi Chi looked down at herself and saw she still had her suit on, she shook her head and looked at the clock. It was 6 am earlier than she usually got up for work. Holding her head she got up determined to look for coffee or some kind of caffeine supplement. Looking threw the cabinets she found nothing. The only things in her cabinets were crackers and some soup 'Not what I wanted….coffee. Need coffee. Looks like I have to go into town. Great…'

She grabbed some shorts and a tank top out of her dresser. Running to the bathroom she changed, washed her face, and brushed her teeth quickly. Leaving a note to tell Goku where she was, she grabbed a hat, sunglasses and put her shoes on. She needed some alone time to process everything.

First her heart was broken after she found out about Goku getting a girl friend. Next all week had been dragged out. Her father had wanted to talk to her about something important at dinner last night. And last night….yeah that happened. Chi Chi didn't know where to begin or what to think. This week had been a total emotional rollercoaster. From her father, Heartbreak with Goku, telling him she loved him, to Goku telling her that he was in love with her too and she was the one, and work. Chi Chi needed a breather from Everything.

A month might have been best but she only had the next hour at best. 'Is my life always going to be this dramatic?' Chi Chi sighed.

Leaving her phone on the nightstand with her note she left the house she headed downstairs. Looking thru the garage she found her bicycle and smiled. 'I'm gonna need a lot of food if Goku is going to eat.'

Chi Chi finally made it into town and smiled. Getting off her bicycle she walked it up to the store and locked it up with the rest of peoples' bikes. Chi Chi looked down the road that held all the farmers and their stands. It just seemed like yesterday that she came into town with her mother. She could picture it now. Her mom walking to each stand and picking out fresh food to cook for their family while Chi Chi ran around looking at all the pretty flowers. It's what any little girl would do right? Chi Chi giggled at little at that memory.

Making her way thru town she looked at all the fresh fruit and vegetables. First thing she bought was fresh coffee. Holding the cup close to her she savored the first sip before she continued on. Picking and paying for some fresh fish and staples she needed for her place, she was ready to go but one last thing needed to be done.

Right next to her bike was a flower stand and shop. The one that her mother's best friend had owned, Rose. Of course her name was so fitting for being the owner of a flower shop in the small town. She was just as beautiful too. Hesitantly Chi Chi opened the door and the bell rang. "Be out in one second dear."

Chi Chi heard her voice and all the memories and emotions from everything came rushing back to her. She had not seen Rose since her mother's funeral. Chi Chi shoved everything about her mother away so it wouldn't hurt. Never coming into town, the beach house, or trying to contact the woman who helped raise her, her second mother. Rose was just that, a second mother to Chi Chi. She had helped babysit her when her mother or father had duties to uphold and essentially raising her. Rose and her mother had been friends since they were little kids, up until they day she died.

A middle aged woman, tall and skinny with long blonde hair stepped out from the back wiping her hands off. Chi Chi stood nervously next to the counter top and looked at a picture frame on the wall. A picture of Chi Chi, her mother father and Rose hung on the wall. It was then that the woman looked up and spoke. "Is that…you Chi Chi?"

Chi chi just nodded because she couldn't form words due to the lump in her throat and the tears that started to make her eyes glisten. Without another word the woman strode forward and wrapped Chi Chi in her arms just like any mother would for their child. She held Chi Chi and rubbed her back. Chi Chi then realized that she was crying and wrapped her arms around the woman. "I mi..iss her Rose…So much."

Chi Chi could feel tears from the other woman "shhhh its ok…..I miss her too." No more words needed to be exchanged in that moment. Both women held each other until their tears subsided. After some time had passed, Rose offered Chi Chi to come into the back for some tea and to catch up.

Rose gushed over how much Chi Chi had grown up and turned into a woman. She asked all about what she was doing, how her father was, and everything in-between. Chi Chi confessed everything to Rose on her new step mother and step brother. How she was horrible and father wasn't happy. Spike stalking her, college, moving out, and her broken heart that she just endured. She asked on how she should feel or what she should do with Goku now.

Rose took Chi Chi hand and looked right at her "Do you love him?"

"Yes. " Chi Chi nodded her head

Rose smiled and looked at a photo of her family she had place on the table they were sitting at. "Is he it?"

The biggest smile possible was placed on Chi Chi's face and she nodded.

"Then take that, and hold onto it. Because love is a precious gift sweetheart. You can't let go of it. You never know what tomorrow will hold. Just go slow then because of everything, But don't let him slip thru your grasp. Tell him whenever you can how much you love them. Before you know it they could be gone…."

Chi Chi and Rose hugged each other one last time before she collected her belongings. "Don't be a stranger anymore little girl. It is amazing to see you." With that Chi Chi gave rose one last hug.

"I promise to call and stop by whenever I can." She turned around to head for her bicycles to head home. She had been gone almost two hours now, hopefully Goku hadn't woken up yet.

Goku could feel heat on his face from the sun. Mentally waking up, all of his senses started to come back to him and he realized that he couldn't sense Chi Chi next to him. Goku moved his hand to feel out for Chi Chis body but she wasn't there. Opening his eye and sitting up he looked around for Chi Chi. Nothing. She wasn't anywhere in the room. Goku stood up and went to look at the clock trying to figure out where Chi Chi was and noticed her phone on the night stand with a note under it.

Goku sat back down on the bed and opened the note.

Goku,

I'm riding my bicycle into town to grab some food for the place. No, there is no food in my place so you are just going to have to wait till I get back. If you're reading this, sorry it is taking me so long to get it. I didn't take my phone with me cause I need some me time still to process everything. I will see you in a little bit.

3 Chi Chi

Goku set her phone and the note back on the night stand 'Well at least she's safe and-shit! I didn't tell her about Spike.' Goku slapped his hand against his forehead and groaned loudly. He kind of totally forgot to tell her last night about the one thing he HAD to tell her to keep her safe. 'I def messed up right there she is not going to be happy about that one.'

Chi Chi's cell phone began to ring at that particular second. Bulmas face popped up on her phone. Goku decide to answer it. "Hi Bulma."

"Goku hey! Is Chi Chi there?"

"No she ran into town to grab groceries, I was asleep when she left."

"Perfect then I can talk to you. Did she react ok to the news about spike last night cause I have some intresting stuff to talk about."

"umm…..well you see bulma…uh I, kindofforgottotellher….."

"GOKU YOU IDIOT!…. ughhhhhhh the one thing I told you I really needed you to do."

"I'm sorr-"

"Its fine Goku. Me and Vegeta are headed out your way soon. We need to figure some shit out with this all together. So I expect you to tell Chi Chi before we get there…So this is not a shock or surprise to her. No if ands or buts!" Vegeta could be heard laughing in the background 'oof WOMAN YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO PUNCH ME!'

"UP YOURS VEGETA, GO SUCK YOUR OWN DICK!... Goku we'll see you in a little bit. Bye"

With that Goku heard the line disconnect 'I am never going to understand those two geezzz"

Goku heard Chi Chi pulling her bike into the garage from all the metal and clinging. Jumping up he grabbed his shirt to throw on and run downstairs to help Chi Chi with the groceries.
