Oko woke up to the sound of whispering and footsteps.
"Gohan, be quiet, I think Oko's still asleep." Chichi's voice said softly.
"Okay, Mom..."
Oko growled and got up, walking out and opening the door. Goku was sitting at the table, smiling at her.
"Hey! How'd ya sleep?" he asked.
She growled and crossed her arms, glaring at him.
"Not a morning person, huh?"
"Don't make fun of me!" she barked.
He held up his hands in surrender and stared, "Okay! Okay!"
She grumbled quietly and yawned. Goku smiled and beckoned her over to the table. She sighed angrily and walked over, sitting down across from him and next to Gohan. Gohan smiled at her, but she sent him an icy glare.
"G-Good morning!" he said happily.
"Go jump off a cliff." she hissed.
He went wide eyed and Chichi gasped.
"If you'll be living with us, I don't want to hear any of that language!"
"You're not my father!" she barked.
"Well, I can see he raised you with no manners!"
"Who needs manners when you're destroying planets?!"
"You destroyed planets?!" Goku exclaimed.
"Yes! And as soon as my father gets here, we'll kill everything!"
"Okay! That's enough!" Chichi shouted.
Oko crossed her arms and glared at her. Chichi sighed angrily and rubbed the bridge of her nose. Oko ate hastily then got out of her chair.
"Oko, we need to get you some new clothes, remember," Chichi asked, "And Goku, Gohan, you're coming with."
They nodded and Oko groaned angrily.
"Why can't I stay in this?!" she barked.
"Because, you need a change of clothes!" Chichi said sternly.
Oko scoffed and crossed her arms. Chichi rolled her eyes and Goku smiled.
"Come on! It'll be fun!" he said happily.
"What's fun about going to a public spot where people try on clothes," she growled, "It's boring."
"We can make it fun!"
"How?" she spat.
"We'll figure something out!" he said happily.
"Y-Yeah!" Gohan said happily.
She rolled her eyes and they walked out and got into a car. Chichi drove for a while then stopped at a strange building filled with clothes. Oko grumbled and they got out of the car. They walked into the store and Chichi led them to a section filled with pink, purple, and a few other colors.
"Alright! Choose a few that you like." Chichi said firmly.
Oko looked at the clothes and grimaced, "Why are they all pink?"
"It's a color that most little girls like!" she said with a long sigh.
"I'm not wearing anything 'pink'." she growled.
"Fine! What about this?" she asked, pulling out a pale yellow T-shirt.
Oko examined it then snatched it away.
"Is that a yes?" Goku asked.
"Whatever." she growled.
"I think it looks nice." Gohan said happily.
Oko growled and Chichi pulled out another shirt.
"Goku, you take Gohan to look at the books down the isle." Chichi said as she pointed.
Goku sighed and nodded, walking off with his son. Chichi smiled and Oko sat down on a cheap bench.
"So, how about blue?" Chichi asked as she held up a navy blue T-shirt.
Oko growled and nodded. Chichi put it in the cart and searched through the rack of clothes. Oko sighed deeply and glared at the ground. The thoughts of her father started swimming into her mind. Her fists and jaw clenched and a sigh escaped her mouth.
"How 'bout this?"
Oko looked up to see a plain black tank top. She nodded and Chichi put it in the cart. Oko relaxed back and her tail wrapped around her waist.
After what seemed like hours, Chichi bought the clothes and they headed back to their house. Oko glared out the window and Chichi parked. Oko got out and stretched.
"Chichi, you know, it's faster to fly." Goku said nervously.
"Well, it's dangerous!" she shouted.
Goku nodded quickly and backed away. Oko yawned and started walking toward the woods.
"Where are you going?" Goku asked.
"For a walk." she snarled.
"Well, be back in time for dinner." Chichi said sternly.
Oko rolled her eyes and flew off. She landed on a tree branch and sat on it, staring at the sky. Vegeta had to come soon... he had to.
Her eyes burned then grew wide. She couldn't cry! It was a weakness!
She growled and pinched herself, preventing the tears from falling. As soon as her eyes were clear, she started to fall asleep. She yawned and closed her eyes, resting her head on the tree.
"Dinner! Oko! Come on!" Chichi called into the forest.
"Maybe she's too far out to hear ya." Goku suggested.
"Well, I want you to find her," Chichi hissed, "If she used to destroy planets, I don't want her ruining the clothes I just bought her!"
He nodded and stepped forward, "NIMBUS!"
The golden cloud flew over and Goku hopped on.
"Can I come?" Gohan asked.
"Absolutely not! You haven't finished your math!" Chichi barked.
He glared at the ground and Goku frowned.
"Come on! It'll only take a few minutes!" he said sternly.
"Goku-"
"Please?"
Chichi sighed and nodded, "Fine, take him."
Gohan grinned and hopped on the cloud. Goku smiled and they flew off.
"Okay, kiddo," Goku said happily, "Keep your eyes peeled!"
Gohan nodded and looked around, leaning on the edge of the cloud. Goku searched the forest then saw a small figure sitting in a tree. He smiled and lowered the cloud to see Oko asleep on a tree.
"Be quiet." he whispered.
Gohan nodded and Goku picked her up gently. Nimbus started flying home when Oko woke up. She saw Goku and yelped in shock, nearly falling through Nimbus. Goku grabbed her arm and grinned.
"Hey!" he said happily.
"W-What were you-"
"It's dinner time." he said happily.
She stared then growled angrily, flying up and ripping her arm away from him. She crossed her arms and flew along side them. They got home and Chichi stormed out.
"Where-"
"She was asleep." Goku explained.
Chichi nodded and pointed inside, "Dinner's ready, hurry before it gets cold."
Oko walked inside silently and sat at the table. Gohan sat next to her and Goku sat next to Chichi. They ate then Chichi forced the children to go to bed. Oko got into bed and fell asleep quickly.
Oko looked around frantically. Her father was dead on the ground and Frieza was smirking at her from a few feet away. She went wide eyed and screamed. Vegeta's eyes were gone and blood was dripping from them. Blood dripped from his mouth and his body was covered in terrible wounds, his limbs looking mangled. Frieza laughed and seemed to appear in front of her. She stumbled back and tried to run, but he grabbed her by the tail.
"Oko..." a voice rasped.
She looked behind her to see it was her father's disfigured self holding her by the tail.
"D-Don't... leave me..." he rasped before his body decayed in seconds.
She screamed and suddenly appeared in a forest. She looked around then realized she was sitting in Vegeta's lap. She stared up at him with wide eyes and he smirked down at her.
"What's wrong, Princess?" he asked.
She stared then he suddenly turned into Frieza. Her eyes grew wider, panicking.
"Oko!" a voice shouted.
"L-Leave me alone!" she shouted worriedly.
"OKO!"
Oko snapped awake, still screaming. Goku stared at her, looking extremely concerned.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
She panted heavily and wiped the cold beads of sweat off her face. She stared with wide eyes then noticed she was trembling.
"Did you have a bad dream?"
She looked at him then glared at the ground, "Go away."
He stared then sighed, "You were screaming-"
"I said, go away!" she barked.
He was still for a moment then walked out of the room. She laid back down, but couldn't fall back asleep. The images of her father... looking so beaten... made her tremble in fear.
