Chi-Chi widened her eyes at the last thing said by Goku. Wait, he was going to be a father? No, there was something that did not fit in everything he had said.
Bulma, who the hell was she?
"Bulma..." the girl began to remember a girl with blue hair. "So... is she the one you love? how come you're going to have a child with her in two weeks? Is she your wife?"
Goku put his hand to his head at that series of questions. He remembered what Bulma had told him about not telling her friends or anyone about her pregnancy.
"Now I can't tell you Chi-Chi..." the dark-haired woman lowered her head when she heard that her questions didn't have answers "I'm sorry about all this Chi-Chi... but I hope we remain friends".
Chi-Chi raised her eyes, meeting Goku's friendly smile. She knew that she no longer had anything to do. In addition, she had to have told Goku in his time something else about the meaning of getting married, it is normal that now that he already knew about it, his promise made no sense, since it had no basis or any kind of validity.
"Then... let's be friends Goku" Chi-Chi smiled accepting the hand that Goku was shaking to get up. Not being able to resist the urge, she jumped on the dark-haired man and hugged him.
At least they were still friends even though she couldn't marry him the way she wanted. Chi-Chi could not meet her goal but the most important thing is that Goku was still his friend and was still in her life, something was worth more than nothing, right?
With Bulma.
Hundreds of questions were circulating from Bulma right now after seeing Goku's peculiar victory in her fight.
Who was that girl, whose face seemed so familiar to him? Why had she started talking to Goku in the middle of the fight? Why had Goku been smiling at her? Why did she run out of the ring and cry?
Bulma could only think that she was just another friend of Goku's and that surely the boy had said something to her that made her sad, at least that's what Bulma could deduce.
"You should relax Bulma...she's just a friend of Goku'" Tights spoke putting a hand on her sister's hand.
"Yes, Goku is your man and no one can take him away from you" Fusui joked with a sly smile that she shared with Tights.
"I know *sigh* I just want this to end once and for all so I can talk to Goku" Bulma spoke rubbing her forehead and erasing that dangerous smile she had a few minutes ago.
"Look, it seems that now your ex-boyfriend is going to fight" Tights indicated pointing to the TV screen, where Yamcha was in front of an old man. "Without a doubt you have done well to choose Goku, he is more humble and has a better physique".
"Is that Yamcha so bad?" Fusui asked, remembering Bulma's boyfriend a few years ago, before getting a nod from Tights.
"I saw him once and I confirm that he is quite pretentious and vain, I never liked him" Tights wrinkled her nose saying that "Goku is the opposite: he is kind and humble..."
"I know, I'm sure I couldn't have found someone better than Goku" Bulma said with a smile and they both nodded.
More later.
To the surprise of the trio of friends, Yamcha ended up losing his match against Chen, another point against the former bandit.
Krillin lost against a greenish-skinned guy named Majunia, who was none other than Piccolo, a fact that Goku confirmed and told his friends later.
The semifinals subsequently took place, in which Goku faced his old rival Tenshinhan, defeating him after a fairly even contest in terms of speed.
Majunia had a match against Chen, who turned out to be Kami, the guardian of the land. Kami camouflaged himself under the skin of an old man to try to seal Majunia/Piccolo with the mafūba, a deadly technique created centuries ago by Mutaitō capable of sealing any being in a vessel.
Piccolo evaded the mafūba technique and counteracted by sealing Kami in the vessel, in order to move on to the finals where he would be measured against the one who killed his father after several years had passed: Goku.
"Looks like *munch* Goku is going to take on that green guy" Fusui mumbled as she ate some chips "I'm sure he's going to win."
Tights ate a cake that she had made by her mother while Dr. Briefs, her father, stood by from time to time as things unfolded.
"I hope so" Bulma whispered dubiously, this guy named Majunia aroused a bad feeling in her much to her chagrin.
Bulma wasn't about to lose the one who had stolen her heart and lose the father of her daughter.
Sure, there were the dragon balls but Bulma was in no condition to go looking for them, that added to the time they would lose in the whole search process.
Bulma's fears were confirmed when mid-match Majunia yelled "Shut up, I'm the reincarnation of Piccolo Daimaō, I'm Piccolo Junior!" and a large part of the public fled the stadium in panic except for Goku's friends, who stayed to witness everything.
"If Goku could beat that creature once now that he is much stronger he will be able to do it without problems" Tights tried to reassure her younger sister by putting himself in her place.
Tights knew that seeing who you loved in a life or death match was not a good drink, yet Bulma was still confident in Goku's victory. For her, Goku was the strongest person that existed and would exist in the entire universe.
Bulma watched in horror as Piccolo enlarged her body and grabbed Goku with his gigantic hands, breaking him.
Luckily Goku was able to free himself and turn the situation around, having a momentary victory. The smiles were short-lived as Piccolo stood up and expelled a blast of energy from his mouth that pierced through Goku's chest.
"How horrible!" Fusui yelled and Tights looked away as she in Bulma's heart cringed at the images she saw.
'I can't keep watching this' Bulma covered her face with a cushion, she knew that the image of Goku bleeding to death wouldn't leave her mind easily.
She already went through the same thing a while ago, when she found Goku in terrible conditions at the door of her house, now she didn't want to suffer the same.
Piccolo rose to the sky preparing a final attack to destroy his opponent and Goku, with the few remaining forces in his body, did not give up, taking out his last card, he launched a powerful kamehameha, the emblem of the turtle school .
The clash of powers was brutal and finally Goku took the victory, winning the twenty-third edition of the martial arts tournament and crowning himself as the strongest being in the world with his victory against the fearsome Piccolo Jr.
"Yes! Bravo!! " Tights and Fusui hugged each other with joy after a few last heart-stopping minutes. They both broke apart as they saw Bulma get up from her seat and walk outside.
"Where are you going Bulma?" Tights asked, watching her sister take a capsule out of a case, throw it out and a mini plane came out.
"To the hospital where Goku is, I can't be here at home while he is there injured and without me" Bulma answered remembering the hospital where Yamcha was when Tenshinhan broke his leg in the last tournament.
"So you're going to see your man huh? In that case, the two of us will accompany you" Fusui blurted out with a smile and her now friend Tights nodded.
Bulma smiled at that, knowing that the time had come to tell his friends the truth and confess once and for all to Goku, his best friend and the father of her daughter, everything she felt for him.
