I followed shyly behind Goku. A gorgeous woman is busy washing dishes. "Hey Hun, this is Melody the young girl that I've told you about," Goku introduced at entrance. "It's nice to meet you dear, I'm Chichi. Welcome to our home. May I say that you were truly remarkable in the tournament, I can't really blame Goku for wanting to train you," she babbled on.
I smiled at her enthusiastically. "That might be a problem hun; she never had any training before. I'm not sure if she'd be able to handle the strictness of my teachings. I might be too harsh for her," Goku stated sadly. I can tell that he feels bad that I had to come all this way for nothing. "I'll help," a voice came from behind me. I see how Gohan and a young beautiful woman enters the kitchen.
It feels a little crowded for my liking. "I'm Videl, Gohan's wife," she introduced with a warm smile. "I'm rather curious to know about all of those stories that your mother told you growing up?" Gohan's question passed on a rhetorical note. All focus surrounded me like I'm the center of their attention. "The adventures of the Red Ribbon Army, the tale of King Piccolo and the thrilling stories about Cell," I named the few that I've enjoyed the most.
Goku's expression turned serious yet amused. "Not many know about the Red Ribbon Army. Who's your mother?" I took a deep breath, internally hoping that he still remembers her and answered after a moment of silence, "My mom's name is Snow. Even our family friend, Eighter, told me a few interesting things about you," I swallowed wryly. "I'll be god damned! It's been ages and they still remember me. I must have made a good first impression," Goku said proudly.
He's acting rather goofy knowing that his childhood friends had yet to forgotten him. "Hun, you should get Gohan's old room ready for her, her mother saved my life once so that makes her like family," Goku told his wife. I try to shove the offer away with the back of my hand, even though I know that I can't really afford to stay at the hotel for much longer. "I couldn't possibly intrude and what about my luggage?" I would have never foretold this outcome. "Please stay? We'll be glad to have you," Chichi assured me with a kind smile. Before I could reply, Gohan's voice broke the silence, "It'll be no trouble on my end to fetch you belongings from the hotel." I gave him a little lopsided smile and nodded after some consideration. I don't want to be rude they're just being friendly.
"Let's get started," Videl said after Gohan had left and found us a nice place to start my very first lesson. Firstly she taught me the hidden secret behind the flying technique. To her surprise I caught up quickly, which led her to advance to the next step. Before I knew it I was hovering in between the heaven's blue face and the green slope. I'm flying, I'm actually doing it!
After a day well done, we went back home. "She's ready Goku. You have nothing to worry about, she's pretty quick on her feet for a mere human girl," Videl said confidently. "Will you be staying for dinner?" Chichi asked as she laid the plates on the table. "No, we need to be getting home, Pan will be arriving at any minute now," she greeted her in-laws. Gohan joined her side, after a quick greeting they left. My phone rang in my back pocket; I retrieved it and excused myself before making my way outside and answered:
Melody: Hey mom
Mom: Congratulations on winning the tournament! Sorry for the late call, we came home a little later then expected. How are you doing?
Melody: Great! I met Goku; he's just as goofy as you told me. He'll be personally training me. They even invited me to stay with them for the time being.
Mom: I'm glad to hear that. It's been very quiet here without you.
Melody: I miss you too mom and I miss Eighter's company. I really do like Goku's son, however (I said with a dreamy sigh).
Mom: Not this again, Mell. I thought you've gotten over Gohan by now.
Melody: I'm not speaking about Gohan, sure he's even more studding face to face but he's happily married. I'm actually referring to Goku's younger brother, Goten.
Mom: But…?
Melody: He already has a girlfriend. He's friends are cute too and one of them have purple hair.
Mom: Ah, your favorite color. Just come home in one piece if you don't mind and whatever you choose to do be careful.
Melody: Mom, I don't think that Goku would let anything bad happen to me. I couldn't have been at a safer place.
Mom: I know, but still look after yourself.
Melody: I will mom. Their busy serving dinner, so I have to go. Love you mom.
Mom: Love you too my dear. Sent them our regards.
Melody: I will do so mom. Goodbye mommy please sent my love to dad and Eighter. Talk to you soon.
Mom: Goodbye, Mells.
