The spaceship touched down on Earth, landing near the familiar landscape where Goka had spent her life. Raditz, who had visited Earth once before, looked around with a sense of nostalgia mixed with curiosity. This time, he was accompanied by fellow Saiyans, Vegeta and Nappa.

As they exited the ship, Bulma and Goka's friends arrived to welcome her back.  Yamcha, Tien, Krillin, and Chiaotzu had all gathered, their faces a mix of surprise and curiosity at the sight of the Saiyans.

Yamcha, who had once been romantically involved with Bulma, couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy as he noticed Raditz standing beside her. He muttered to himself, "Looks like Bulma's found herself a new guy."

Goka approached her friends, a warm smile on her face. "Hey, guys! Long time no see. These are my fellow Saiyan comrades, Raditz, Vegeta, and Nappa."

Tien and Krillin exchanged glances, both surprised and slightly apprehensive. Tien finally spoke up, "Saiyans, huh? You never mentioned you had Saiyan friends, Goka."

Goka scratched the back of her head sheepishly. "It's a long story. We'll catch up later. Right now, we've got a bit of a situation."

Goka explained the events that had transpired in space, including their mission to revive Planet Vegeta and their encounter with Frieza. She mentioned Bulma's importance in helping them locate the Dragon Balls.

Tien nodded in understanding. "I see. Well, you're always getting into crazy adventures, Goka."

Vegeta, who had been observing the group with a mixture of skepticism and intrigue, finally asked, "Kakarota, are you staying at Bulma's place?"

Goka shook her head. "No, Vegeta. I stay at my grandpa Gohan's old place in the mountains. It's a small hut, but it's peaceful."

Vegeta's curiosity got the best of him. "I'd like to see this place. Lead the way, Kakarota."

Goka agreed, and she and Vegeta set off for her grandfather's hut in the mountains. As they left, Bulma called after them, "Come back in a few hours! We'll throw a welcome party for all of you!"

--------

As Goka and Vegeta walked towards the mountain hut, they were greeted by the serene beauty of the Earth. Vegeta couldn't help but be impressed by the lush surroundings. He turned to Goka, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"This is where you live, Kakarota?"

Goka nodded. "Yeah, it's simple, but it's home. My grandpa taught me everything I know here."

Vegeta glanced at her, his usual stoicism giving way to something softer. "Your grandpa sounds like a wise man."

Goka smiled, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. "He was. He taught me about the importance of protecting our world and the people we care about."

Vegeta remained silent for a moment, lost in his thoughts. It was becoming clear to him that Goka's upbringing and values were something he could respect and even admire.

Meanwhile, back at Bulma's place, the group was preparing for the welcome party. Raditz was helping Bulma in the kitchen, Bulma couldn't help but appreciate Raditz's strong and capable nature.

Nappa, on the other hand, was providing some comic relief with his jokes and antics. He had Chiaotzu and Krillin in stitches with his exaggerated stories of Saiyan battles and training.

Yamcha, however, was still feeling downcast about Bulma's newfound connection with Raditz. He leaned in to whisper to Tien, "Man, I never thought I'd see the day when Bulma moved on so quickly."

Tien patted him on the back sympathetically. "It's tough, buddy, but we all have to move on at some point."

Back at the mountain hut, Goka and Vegeta arrived at the quaint, peaceful dwelling. Goka opened the door, and Vegeta stepped inside, taking in the humble surroundings.

"It's not much, but it's got everything I need," Goka explained.

Vegeta nodded in acknowledgment. "It's... comfortable."

Goka gave him a playful grin. "Not too different from your training chamber, huh, Vegeta?"

Vegeta smirked. "I suppose not."

As they settled in, Goka couldn't help but notice Vegeta's shifting demeanor. He seemed more relaxed and open than she had ever seen him before. The Saiyan prince, usually so guarded, was showing glimpses of vulnerability.

Goka decided to address the elephant in the room. "Vegeta, I noticed you've been watching me train lately. Anything on your mind?"

Vegeta hesitated for a moment, then spoke with uncharacteristic honesty. "I've been... impressed with your progress, Kakarota. And I find that I... enjoy our time together more than I expected."

Goka's heart skipped a beat at Vegeta's confession. She had sensed a growing connection between them, but hearing it from Vegeta himself was something she hadn't anticipated. She stepped closer to him.

"I've enjoyed it too, Vegeta. We make a good team."

Vegeta's eyes softened, and for a moment, it felt as if time stood still. Vegeta's heart skipped a beat, and he changed the subject. "We should head back to Bulma's. They're expecting us for the welcome party."

Goka nodded, though her thoughts were still on the unexpected tension between them. They left the hut behind, their connection more complex than ever.

--------

Back at Bulma's house, the welcome party was in full swing. The group had gathered to celebrate Goka's return and to get to know her Saiyan comrades better.

Nappa was regaling the group with more of his exaggerated stories, making everyone laugh, while Raditz and Bulma chatted animatedly in a corner. Yamcha, still somewhat downcast, watched them from afar

Suddenly, the door swung open, and a new guest arrived. It was Chi-Chi, He looked around, his eyes widening at the sight of the Saiyans and the lively atmosphere.

"What's going on here?" Chi-Chi asked, his voice filled with curiosity.

Yamcha, who had been nursing his jealousy over Bulma's connection with Raditz, leaned over to Tien and whispered, "Looks like we've got another unexpected guest."

Chi-Chi approached Goka with a determined expression. He asked to speak with her outside, and she agreed without hesitation. They stepped out onto the balcony, leaving the party behind.

Vegeta, who had been watching the interaction with interest, turned to Raditz, who was standing nearby. "What's that all about, Raditz?"

Raditz chuckled and leaned in closer to Vegeta. "Ah, this reminds me of when Chi-Chi confronted me during my first visit to Earth. He thought I had bad intentions or something, and things got pretty intense."

Vegeta raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Bad intentions?"

Raditz nodded. "Yeah, he's fiercely protective of Goka. When he saw me, a stranger, with her, he didn't hold back."

Vegeta couldn't help but smirk. "Protective, you say? Is he... her mate or whatever the earthling customs are?"

Raditz chuckled again, shaking his head. "Nah, it's not like that. They're just really close friends. Chi-Chi's got a bit of a crush on Goka, but Goka doesn't reciprocate those feelings. It's caused some tension before."

Vegeta's interest was piqued. "Tension, you say? This could be entertaining."
