Author's note: A note to say thanks to Kei for telling me how old Goku is at this time. It's just making things much easier for me. So I was right at first. Goku is 12 at this time. Well, that's good, so I don't have to change my plan. Anyway, I'm not sure how old Chichi is. I was told that she was 13. I'm not sure about that but in this story, she's only older than Goku a few months. Therefore, she can be 12 or 13 depending on her birthday.

Doesn't matter how old Goku is actually. You have to agree with me that no matter how old Goku is, he's still very childish right? So even if I tried to make him fall in love when he was 8 or 12 (lol), is just the same as me making him fall in love when he's 18, agree?? lol. What's a weird theory, but you know how he is, very childish. And another thing is, Chichi would be spending times with Goku for most of her life, therefore, her personality is influenced by Goku a lot. So she's also very childish later on. Well, she is already childish in the show anyway (lol), I can tell, but she's a bit different when it comes to part 2. You have to agree with me that kids do influence from the environment in which they live right?

Anyway, I forgot to tell you in chapter 1. If you are a Chichi's lover, this story is for you, because this story focus a lot on her (and Goku of course).

Dragon ball eternal love part 1

By Julia

Chapter 5: Feeling afraid… Just good friends

Sitting on the Nimbus cloud with Goku, Chichi couldn't help but thinking about what just happened last night. She felt her body aching a lot. The feeling was still surrounding her. It really hurt.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~

( a/n: You don't have to read this part if you have already read my last version, just skipped the flashback if you want, everything is the same)

"I don't want to die here", Yamcha said looking around the small room. There was a small area of the room that was made up of glass.

"I want to see my dad" Chichi said as she walked towards the glass area of the room and looked at the moon.

"What are you doing there, Chichi?" Bulma asked

"Just looking at the moon, it's beautiful, don't you think?" Chichi said staring up.

Something shot up in Goku's mind as he remembered the big monster his grandpa had told him about. He began to tell everyone the story of a terrible monster who came out of the moon.

"Wow, really? I never heard of it", Chichi said innocently walking away from the moon.

"Goku, get real, you shouldn't believe in those kinds of story" Bulma said.

Goku protested and told everyone about how his grand father had been killed by that monster and his house was damaged.

"And what were you doing back then?" Oolong said

"I was asleep the whole time"

"What? How can you still be asleep when you house is damaged" Oolong said.

"I don't know, and from that time, my grandpa told me never to look at the moon" Everyone except Chichi understood and backed away from Goku.

"Goku, you're kidding right? How come your grandpa didn't let you look at the moon?" Chichi asked curiously.

"I don't know"

"Why don't you go and look at it to see what happened?" Chichi asked curiously.

"No Goku, don't look" Yamcha yelled

"Chichi, don't you understand? He is that monster" Bulma yelled

"What?" Chichi asked, turning towards everyone.

"Goku, don't look at the moon, it's up there" Bulma said pointing at the moon above his head. Goku looked up and everyone yelled.

"I don't see what the big deal is", Goku said looking back at everyone. Bulma and Yamcha felt relieved but all of the sudden, Goku's body was cracked and his eyes turned red. Everyone yelled in fear.

"What are you guys so scared about?" Chichi asked confused, not noticing Goku's changes yet.

"Chi…chi, be….behind you" Bulma pointed. Chichi turned around and was taken back in fear.

"Arhh, Goku what…happened?" Chichi yelled. Everyone was frightened and watched as Goku slowly turned into a giant ape. Yamcha grabbed Chichi away from the monster.

In his oozaru form Goku quickly lays weight to the small part of the planet and crashed the building in pieces. Still holding Chichi, Yamcha ran out of the place with everyone. Chichi didn't keep her eyes off the oozaru.

"Put me down, we can't leave Goku like that", Chichi yelled

"Chichi, stop being stupid, he's not Goku anymore, he would kill us" Yamcha yelled

"But…" Chichi couldn't finish the sentence as a tear falling down her rosy cheek. Everyone hid in a safe place. Yamcha put the little girl down.

Pilaf and his servant woke up. When they noticed the oozaru, he ordered his servants to beat him. They used technological weapon to shot at the monster. A big bomb was thrown at the oozaru and he fell on the ground unconscious. Pilaf was angry at the monster for breaking his castle. He came and kicked the oozaru's huge hand.

"Is he dead?" Bulma asked worriedly. Chichi stared for a while and tried to run towards him. Her emotions were mixed between fear and sympathy.

"GOKU!" Chichi yelled. Yamcha grabbed her little hand and pulled her back.

"No Chichi, he's alright, I saw him moving" Yamcha said

The oozaru got up on his feet again. Pilaf and his servants ran away. A big piece of brick was sent flying towards the group and they all ran. The brick fell on Bulma. Everyone tried to get her out. The oozaru ran towards them and everyone panicked. Chichi stood out of the way but accidental got herself facing the oozaru. She was blocked and unable to run anywhere. Having no choice, she tried to get all of her courage and stood right in the way so that the oozaru wouldn't be able to see Bulma getting trapped in there. He picked her up with his huge hand. Chichi closed her eyes as if to consider this as a dream, so that when she woke up, everything would go back to normal but it didn't. The oozaru got her in his hand and began to squeeze her.

"Arhhhh…." Chichi screamed in pain.

"OH NO, CHICHI" Yamcha and Bulma yelled at the same time.

"GOKU, STOP IT, IT'S CHICHI, YOU DON'T WANT TO HURT HER" Bulma yelled

"It's no use, we got to do something" Yamcha said

Chichi's eyes were cracked in tears. She had never felt so strongly for anyone as much as she felt for Goku. She had already fallen for him right in the first time she met him but now he hurt her. Even though he didn't deliberately do it, she still felt hurtful both physically and emotionally.

Chichi's tears were covered on his huge hand. She fainted due to the pain was overwhelming her. When the oozaru felt the hot tears on his hand, he stopped squeezing and moved his head over to check to see why his hands were so wet. Right at this time, Yamcha remembered Goku's weakness was his tail when he first pulled it in the bathroom with Goku. He ran behind him and tried to reach his tail.

The oozaru put Chichi down as he found her too small for him to eat. Chichi fell on the ground unconsciously. He turned towards Bulma who was standing alone. He picked her up by her shirt and began to lick her with his huge lips. Being so scared, Bulma fainted also. Yamcha on the other side finally jumped on his tail and the oozaru completely stopped moving. Puar turned herself into a blade and cut his tail. The oozaru slowly turned himself back into Goku again and fell asleep next to Chichi.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~End of flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Just the thought of it made Chichi shiver. Even though everyone had comforted her and told her that it would never happen again, everything had been over; she couldn't help thinking about it and especially the pain she was carrying right now. What if one day Goku turned into that big monster again? She sat in silent looking at Goku's tail spot. She realized that she knew nothing about him and he knew nothing about her, then why did she form a crush on him that quickly? She began to feel afraid of Goku. All she could do now was hoping that the training was over soon, so that she could go back home with her father.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Yamcha and Bulma along with Oolong and Puar were in an airplane flying towards the city. Their thoughts were centered on what happened earlier. They all felt a lot of sympathy for the little girl. They knew very well what Chichi was feeling for Goku. Something shot back into Yamcha's mind as he remembered something that he couldn't stop laughing about. It was cute and he liked it.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Oh no is she dead?" Bulma asked worriedly. Yamcha checked her pulse.

"No, she's alright, she's just too exhausted" Yamcha said feeling relieved.

"Oh, poor little girl! Damn, she was so brave to stand out and faced him like that" Bulma said.

"That's not brave, that's stupid. She could have been killed, who does she think she is?" Oolong said.

"Shut up Oolong, you don't know anything, you're the one who should have been killed" Puar yelled as Oolong glared at her.

"I can't believe a little girl like her could have such a pure heart, I hope she's alright, I can't believe Goku was the one that squeeze his grandpa to death, and he didn't even know it. We shouldn't tell him about all of this, it would ruin his little heart" Bulma said remembering the story Goku told them earlier.

"She sure is strong, if it was me, being squeezed like that, I could have died" Bulma continued. She gently put Chichi down next to Goku to let the little girl sleep more peacefully.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The next morning

Goku woke up, "Good morning Goku" Everyone said smiling at him. Goku greeted them back and gave them a big smile. He then turned aside and saw Chichi lying next to him.

"Hey Chichi, wake up, it's morning" Goku called childishly with a big smile. He then noticed her face was pale and she didn't move. He began to panic as he remembered his grandpa's similar face when he woke up the last time.

"What happened? Chichi, wake up, don't joke around" He said sounding more serious, as he shook her harder.

"Don't worry Goku, she's alright, she was just too tired" Yamcha said. Goku felt relieved and let go of Chichi. Chichi slowly woke up to find Goku sitting next to her. She smiled at him thinking what happened last night was just a dream.

"Chichi are you okay?" Goku asked

"Yeah, I guess" Chichi said. Suddenly the pain was arising on her body again, making her remember the feeling of last night. She was now sure that it wasn't a dream. She looked at Goku for a while and suddenly something shocked her. She looked away from him with her face turning all red.

"What's wrong, are you mad at me?" Goku asked crawling towards her face and looked at her. However, she kept turning away from him and Goku kept crawling over her asking her what was wrong. Everyone knew why but decided not to tell Goku and just kept laughing at their antics.

"Chichi say something to him or he would think you're mad at him", Yamcha said still laughing.

"OH GOKU, YOU JERK, PUT YOUR CLOTHES ON" Chichi yelled getting annoyed of him as he kept crawling towards her face making her blush. Goku looked down and noticed his clothes were gone.

"Goku, I can't believe you let the girl your age see the inside of you like that" Oolong said laughing at him. Yamcha couldn't help but shook his head laughing at Goku. He shouldn't let the girl his age to see him naked like that. It was obvious that Goku still hadn't picked up on what he had explained to him.

"Oh, I wonder where my clothes' gone when I was asleep?" Goku said innocently.

"How about you sharing your clothes with Goku, Oolong?" Bulma asked. Oolong growled but soon agreed and gave his clothes to Goku. Goku dressed himself up and noticed his tail was gone.

"Huh, my tail's gone, you guys" Goku said touching his butt. "Guess, I have to wait for it to grow back again" Everyone fell off anime style. Goku turned towards Chichi but all of a sudden, she fainted onto the ground again. Goku ran towards her but he kept falling on the ground losing his balance as his tail had gone. Chichi noticed him and tried to sit back up again painfully.

"Goku, don't worry, I'm okay" Chichi assured. She gave him a weak smile. She was glad that Goku still cared about her. At last she was glad to be his friend. Goku smiled at her and turning his body around but noticed his power pole was gone.

"Oh, where's my power pole?" Goku asked looking around.

"I guess it's inside the castle", Yamcha said. Goku said as he began to run into the castle. He kept stumbling on the ground.

Chichi's expression had changed and didn't look as happy as she had been earlier. Yamcha and Bulma noticed it.

"I can understand that, she's only a little girl, she had to be scared, although Goku had turned back into his normal self, the feeling of being squeezed probably still haunted her" Bulma said

"Don't worry, kids usually don't keep everything in mind, she'll forget about it" Yamcha said

"Well, I hope so" Bulma asked, "She looked so scared, poor thing, a kid's heart and mind is very soft but weak, it can easily be ruined. I'm afraid she wouldn't want to be so close with Goku again"

"Don't worry, she will forget about it, she will be spending time with Goku more later at master Roshi's anyway, she will overcome it" Yamcha said hopefully.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*End of flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The thought of Goku showing off everything to Chichi made Yamcha giggle. He couldn't help but thought about the innocence of his little friend. He wondered what would have happened to the two kids at the island of master Roshi? Will Chichi be able to forget about everything and just having fun with Goku?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Goku turned to look at Chichi. He wondered why she was quite different from earlier.

"Chichi, what's wrong? Come on cheer up!" Goku said with a small laugh as he patted on Chichi's shoulder playfully not knowing she was still hurt from earlier.

"Arrhhh" Chichi screamed in pain. Goku jumped and looked at her guiltily.

"Oh I'm sorry, is something wrong? You seem so weak" Goku asked with concern.

"I'm okay, don't worry, I just hurt myself last night, that's all" Chichi said not wanting to recall the earlier event. "If I take a little more rest, I'll be just fine". Goku smiled not knowing what else to say. Chichi looked at him knowing what he was thinking. She smiled at him trying to forget about other things and just joining the fun with Goku.

Landing on master Roshi's island, Goku and Chichi jumped off the cloud and looked at the little pink house. Goku knocked on the door but no one answered it. Chichi looked through the window and spotted master Roshi who was watching TV. She showed Goku and they both jumped in through the window. They came closer to Master Roshi but the old man was so enraptured to the program on TV and didn't pay much attention to them. Goku complained of being hungry and the old man told him to go to the fridge not taking his eyes off the TV.

Chichi sat down on the couch looking at master Roshi. She almost choked when she noticed what the old man was watching. 'Well it's gonna take for a while' she thought. When the TV program finished, master Roshi turned it off and looked back at Chichi.

"Oh hi Chichi, what are you doing here?" Master Roshi said

"You don't remember what you told my father?" Chichi asked.

"Oh, the training? Yeah, I have promised your father, I'll do it" Roshi said

"What's about Goku?"

"Where is he?"

"He's in the kitchen" Chichi said jumped off the couch and walked in the direction where the kitchen was. Master Roshi noticed Chichi's fragile posture.

"What's wrong? You don't seem to be like you were when I last saw you" Master Roshi asked. Chichi then explained to him how she was injured but did not exactly tell him the whole truth. "Okay, may be you shouldn't start training right away"

"It's okay, I don't mind, you can train Goku first"

"Okay, I'll deal with Goku first, you don't have to do anything right now"

Master Roshi and Chichi walked into the kitchen. Goku had been full and was holding his stomach.

"Goku, you eat all of my food" master Roshi said.

Goku quickly jumped and asked the old man if he was going to train him now. Master Roshi however wanted Goku to go and look for a girl for him. Chichi looked at Roshi unbelievably but she tried not to laugh at him. He described the kind of girl he wanted to Goku and he flew away.

Soon later Goku came back with a big fat lady. When Roshi looked at whom Goku just brought home, he almost screamed. He took Goku inside and explained to him how a beautiful girl looked like. Goku however couldn't tell the difference. Chichi stared at him in disbelief. She never thought Goku didn't know anything about this. She giggled and shook her head thinking she had put such a stupid crush on him. She did like him in the beginning because she thought that he liked her. Now that thought had faded away as she realized how innocent Goku really was. She smiled at him. She had a feeling that being friends with him was quite fun. The way he was, sometimes made her laugh. Chichi came over and offered to help but master Roshi refused as he thought she was not capable for such a thing.

Goku flew away again and later came back with a much more beautiful girl. Chichi came out and had a look at the girl. She then spotted the girl's fish-tail. 'huh? Goku is taking home a mermaid?' Chichi thought as she began to laugh again imagining what master Roshi would think of this.

When master Roshi came out, he stared at the girl in awe. He told Goku to ask the girl if she wanted to go for a walk with him. When Goku came back, he told the old man that the girl only wanted to have a swim rather than a walk. Master Roshi blushed a big shade of red thinking the girl must have been crazy about him to give out that kind of decision. When he came close to the girl and asked her to have a romantic walk with him on the beach. The mermaid punched him in the face and swam away. Goku and Chichi looked at each other and back to master Roshi. Chichi covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing in front of Roshi.

"Oh I get it now, the lesson is to keep your guard up" Goku said. Chichi stared at him funny.

"Yes, that's exactly what it is" Roshi said touching his face.

Suddenly, they heard a strange sound coming from the sea. They looked out and suddenly a little guy jumped into the island and landed head first in front of the three. When the boy regained his control, he introduced himself as Krillin to the old man and explained the reasons why he came.

"Sorry but I'm not taking students that showed up at my doorstep" Roshi said. Krillin smirked and took out some girls' magazines to Roshi as he knew the old man admired them. He then turned towards Goku and Chichi.

"Who are you two?" Krillin asked

"I'm Goku, and this is Chichi" Goku said as he giggled.

"What are you giggling about?" Krillin asked

"I like marsh-mallow" Goku said.

"And your bald head looks like one" Chichi continued for him.

"What did you say?" Krillin yelled angrily, "Don't you know that anyone who is interested in martial arts changes their heads, look at master Roshi, he's bald too"

"No, I'm naturally bald" Roshi said not taking his eyes off the magazines. Chichi laughed at him.

"Nothing's funny, kids" Krillin yelled and Chichi glared at him.

After Roshi finished with the magazines, he told Krillin to go help Goku find a girl for him.

They flew away on the cloud. Krillin had to hold onto Goku so he wouldn't fell off the cloud. Goku looked down and spotted a man who was doing the farm.

"Hey Krillin, do you think master Roshi would like that lady over there?" Krillin looked down.

"Goku, that's a man"

"Really? How can you tell? They almost look the same to me"

"You mean you really can't tell, Goku?"

"Usually I can only recognize them through their voices"

"In case you can't tell, I'm a boy" Krillin said worrying Goku wouldn't be able to tell that he was a boy.

"Krillin, why does master Roshi want to meet a girl so bad anyway?" Goku asked innocently not knowing how to apply Yamcha's case into Roshi's as they weren't the same.

"Well, I guess he wants a girl on a date just as much as you want food"

"You mean he's going to eat her?" Goku asked. Krillin rolled his eyes at Goku's stupidity.

"No, he's not"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

On master Roshi's island

Chichi walked inside the house and started to make new food for Roshi since Goku had eaten most of it.

Soon later, Goku and Krillin came back with a more beautiful girl with navy blue hair (a/n: you all know who this is right? Launch). Goku ran into the house and asked master Roshi to come out. Before Roshi came out, he told Chichi to stay in the house, as he didn't want the girl to laugh at him any more. When Roshi came out, Launch told him how his two grandsons had helped her.

"They're not my grandsons, they're my younger brothers" Roshi said. Goku, Krillin and Launch fell off. Goku was anxious to start the training straightaway. Roshi asked Launch to join the training with them. Launch agreed and Roshi ran into the house and took out a few bath suits, which he called uniform. When Launch was about to take off her clothes, Krillin stopped her.

"You can change in the house if you want" Krillin said. Launch walked inside the house.

"Now, why in the world did you bring that up?" Master Roshi yelled angrily.

Goku looked around for Chichi, "Master Roshi, where is Chichi? Aren't you gonna train her too?"

"Oh, she's in the kitchen, she will join us when she recovers her strength back" Roshi said not wanting Chichi to come out now.

"ewwww, I'm not wearing this" Goku said disgusted at the little bath-suit that Roshi had given him.

Launch came out not so long later. Master Roshi looked at her admiringly. A fly flew in front of his nose and he pushed it over to Launch and she sneezed. All of a sudden, she turned into a rude blond-haired girl.

"Now, whose idea was this? Want to dress me like a doll? then please don't forget" She yelled taking out a gun and started to shot at the three. (a/n: I wonder why they don't die, being shot like that, lol!!)

Hearing the strange sound, Chichi ran out of the house to see what happened. Launch pointed the gun at her and shot but Chichi quickly dodged it and she rolled along the ground trying not to get shot. Fortunately, she was holding a small pepper pot. When she fell onto the ground, it's accidentally spilled over on Launch and she sneezed again. She became the navy blue-haired girl again.

"Sorry, my other self comes out whenever I sneeze" Launch said smiling apologetically. Chichi looked at their outfits. "Goku, Krillin, what's the hell are you two wearing?"

"Master Roshi made us wear this, he called it his fighting armor" Goku said. Chichi almost fell into laughter, but she quickly regained herself.

"Geess, I'm not wearing that to fight" She said as moved over to Goku. She noticed some of the spot that Goku had been shot at. "Oh…look at you, Goku" Chichi said getting out a small handkerchief in her pocket and wiped out some of the spot on Goku's forehead. Goku stared at her and smiled happily. Krillin looked at the two with a smirk. Chichi noticed it.

"What's up, Krillin?" She asked

"That's so sweet of you two" Krillin said as he continued to smirk.

Chichi and Goku looked at each other. Chichi blushed but quickly snapped out of it, "We're just good friends, right Goku?" she said.

"Right" Krillin said sarcastically turning away from the two happy kids.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A/n: What do you guys think? My explanation isn't so good, is it? I hope you don't mind. My original language is not English. I've only been in Australia for 3 years. My English is still really bad. I hope I don't confuse with the way I explain it.

The next chapter is where I was up to in my last version. It's very boring just letting you know, if you guys have read my last version, but I think it's better than my last version, because last time, I was somehow in a rush and didn't express it clearly enough. However, it's really important. The next chapter is just going to give you a little hint about Chichi that you will find out right after the tournament. Actually, it's what you never expect; you can't find it in the original storyline.
