"Awww, c'mon, Chi-Chi; I can't do this!" Goku said as he changed into a lavish suit. "Now, Goku, you know that I can't go into the city with the car broken down to get groceries," Chi-Chi said merrily as she fixed his tie. "Besides..." she almost whispered, implying that an outburst of anger was only milliseconds away. "...I'M SICK OF OUR SON GOING OFF AND FIGHTING THIS, SAVING THAT, ALL BECAUSE OF HIS DAD! IF YOU DON'T SHOW HIM THAT HIS FATHER HAVE A NORMAL DAY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE...OOOH!!!" she screamed, stomping furiously. "Y...y...yes, dear," Goku fumbled, grabbing his hat and starting out the door. "GOKU! ONE MORE THING!" Chi-Chi yelled unexpectedly. He stopped in the doorway, dropping his hat. "Um...Chi-Chi, did I...um...forget something?" he asked. Chi-Chi marched over to Goku looking like a walking time bomb, which caused him to cringe. Suddenly, she fell into his body, crying. "Huh?" he wondered, startled. "Oh, Goku, I'm sorry!...You and Gohan are always somewhere saving the universe, leaving me here for years at a time, and I spend the time I have with you screaming like a monster! I...I...I just miss you two!..." Chi-Chi cried, breaking off her sentence abruptly. Goku took her in his arms tightly. Chi-Chi, with her eyes misty, looked up at Goku. He looked down at her face, which was wet with tears. Then, Goku--one of the cold-hearted, violent Saiya-jins--kissed his wife with more passion than any Earthling could possibly show. They stood there about half a minute, holding each other, lips locked together. Finally, Goku broke the kiss/embrace, reaching down and picking up his hat. He put it on and started out the door again. "Oh, Chi-Chi?" Goku said just as he exited their house, looking back over his shoulder. "Goku?" Chi-Chi answered. "I love you, Chi-Chi," he said, smiling warmly. "I love you too, Goku," she replied, also smiling. Goku then took off for the city.

 "Wow, what a big place!" Goku marveled as he entered the supermarket. He collected the items that were needed (plus a few extras) and checked out. "Sir?..." a young boy asked as Goku was leaving. "Yes, son?" he answered. "...are you Goku?" the boy questioned. "G...G...Goku?...GOKU!" the cashier exclaimed. "I...I rang up...GOKU! GOKUUUUUU!" "GOKU?" the people in the store replied. "GOKU?" the manager and owner of the store both said, sticking their heads out of their offices. "Goku?" the mayor of the city asked, coming in the store just then. "Uh, yeah, I'm Goku," Goku answered everyone. The store erupted. "Please, sir...a photo?" the manager asked, coming out of his office with a camera. "Will you autograph this, please, sir?" the owner said, coming out of his office with a poster. "Goku...could you show up at City Hall and, uh...give a speech? Please?" the mayor asked, removing his hat. The store gasped. "The mayor's...he's...BALD!" about fifty people screamed. Three women fainted, while two men sank to their knees in fright. Just then, the governor of the district walked in. "Why, hello, everyone..." he started before noticing the mayor. "...WHAT? Why, Mayor...you're...you're..." The mayor shrank low to the ground. "...YOU'RE A BALD MAYOR! And in my district? OUT! OUUUUUUT!" the governor steamed. Goku took this opportunity to sneak out of the store. A crowd of about five hundred people were gathered in the nearby park to watch a historical display put on by the city that day. "Hey, it's Goku!" a young boy noticed in the group, pointing. Everyone looked at Goku immediately. "GOKU!" they shouted in delight, running toward him. "Wait...WAIT! Stop! I'm not here for autographs! I'm here to shop!" Goku shouted to them, showing the mob his bags. "YOU FOOLS!" a voice yelled. "Wouldn't you rather have MY autograph?" Everyone turned, including Goku. "V...Vegeta?" Goku said, shocked. "It's Vegeta!" the same young boy said. "VEGETA!" the crowd shouted, moving toward the Prince of Saiya-jins, who was about thirty feet from Goku. "Look!" the boy suddenly yelled to the crowd. "It's Pikachu!" Everyone, including both Saiya-jins, looked about four hundred feet away. "PIKACHU? PIKACHU!!!" the crowd shouted, delighted. "Pikachu!" Goku and Vegeta seethed. They looked at each other and nodded. Goku set down his groceries. Then...Goku and Vegeta both turned Super Saiya-jin.

 "YAAAH!" Goku and Vegeta yelled, charging the little Pokemon. "Pika?" Pikachu said questioningly. "It's the President!" the boy said. The President appeared and walked in front of Pikachu. "WHAT?" both Super Saiyans said, stopping and powering down. The President was hanging around Pikachu's neck about six medals. "THOSE WERE MY AWARDS LAST YEAR! NOOOOOO!" Goku screamed, pulling his own hair. Pikachu grabbed his pacifier and baby bib, putting them on to look cuter. "Awww, how cute!" Vegeta said. He sped over to the Pokemon. "Awww! Coochy-coo!" he cooed, tickling Pikachu's chin. "ARE YOU INSANE!?" Goku screamed wildly at Vegeta. Suddenly, a TV in a nearby store turned on the news. "And now, the the results of the contest for Best-Looking Fighter Of The Year!" the announcer reported. Goku walked over to the store window relievedly. "Finally, some good news! I've never lost this contest since it began!" he said, cheering up. "The winner--AND NEW CHAMPION--Jeice of the Ginyu Tokusentai!!!" the man at the studio said. Goku's jaw dropped. "WHAT!?" he gasped, staggering backward. Jeice appeared on the screen. "Hey, mates! Jeice of the Ginyu Tokusentai here! Check this pose out!" Jeice said, doing one of his various Ginyu Tokusentai poses. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!" Goku cried. "Pika! Pika!" Pikachu squeaked at Goku. "Pika! Pika!" Vegeta also imitated, trying to look as cute as possible despite the fact that he wasn't so good at the art. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Goku screamed, nearly going into shock. He snatched up the grocery bags, speeding out of town at top speed.

 Goku reached his house quickly. "Chi-Chi?...I...I made it! I'm...home...I got home at last!" Goku sighed as he entered the house. "Oh, Goku, you're back! It certainly took a long time, though," Chi-Chi remarked. "You have no idea," Goku said, letting out a deep breath. Chi-Chi chuckled and walked over to Goku, kissing him on the cheek. "I'm glad you're back...oh, Goku? I'm been thinking..." Chi-Chi started. "Yes, Chi-Chi?" Goku asked. "...why don't we take the night off; go out on the town?" Chi-Chi finished. Goku's eyes grew to about three times their normal size. Then, he simply fainted.

"So that's it, huh?" Vegeta said to Pikachu. "C'mere, kid, I have an idea." He picked Pikachu up and took off.

 Goku woke up by the knock on the door. He stood up, walked over to the door, and opened it. "Hey, Kakarot! This kid's hotel reservation ran out, and he lost his wallet! He needs you to bunk him for the night!" Vegeta asked, holding up Pikachu. Then, the loudest, most horrifying scream ever heard in the universe exploded out of Goku's house; right out of Goku's mouth.
