A New Beginning

Chapter 3

Goku smelt the aroma coming from his house. He was out doing some light stretches and running when he found himself hungry until he smelt the delicious aroma of food. Chi-Chi did tell him she was going to cook him a delicious breakfast-her very first meal for him. Goku decided to skip his exercise and race home to chow down on some delicious food.

Goku arrived at his home and could smell the food coming out the window. He saw Chi-Chi setting the food on the table. He jumped in through the window. "Hey, Chi-Chi, is that breakfast? I hope so 'cause I'm starving!"

Chi-Chi faced Goku, an angry look on her face. "Just where did you go this morning, Goku?!"

Goku looked confused. Why was Chi-Chi so angry? "I went out to do some running."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Chi-Chi asked.

"You were sleeping. What's the big deal? Why do I have to tell you where I'm going?"

"Because I'm your wife! Goku, you need to tell me when you leave, whether I'm asleep or not. I prefer to know where you are."

Goku still didn't get it. "Why?"

"So I won't worry," Chi-Chi explained. "What if something happened to you? I wouldn't even know where to start looking for you."

"What could happen to me?"

Whether Goku knew it or not, he did make a good point. What could happen to him? He was the strongest man in the world. The only person who could possibly match his strength was Piccolo but he wouldn't come this quick searching for Goku, and even if he did, Goku would defeat him.

Chi-Chi sighed. To wake up without Goku and with him coming in as if he didn't do anything wrong, put a sour note on what Chi-Chi thought would be a great day. "Never mind. Just next time tell me where you are going and come in through the door not the window. You're not an animal."

"Um, okay," Goku said. "Can I eat now?"

Chi-Chi sighed. "No, Goku. You clean up first before you get any breakfast. You don't come to the table dirty."

"All right," Goku agreed and head upstairs for a quick shower. He came back into the kitchen ten minutes later dressed in pants, undershirt and a towel on his head, drying his hair.

Goku stared at several hot dishes that covered the table. All that food looked so good. Goku dropped the towel on the floor and got in his seat. He felt he was going to go crazy if he didn't eat soon. When Chi-Chi told him to, Goku tore into the meal, finishing plate after plate, and dish after the dish. Chi-Chi was starting to worry. Goku wasn't slowing down his eating one bit and not much food was left. Goku polished the last plate and licked his lips.

"Wow, Chi-Chi! That was great. Do you have anymore?"

Chi-Chi frowned. She thought she had made enough for him but she didn't. "No…I don't, Goku. I thought it would be enough. I'm sorry."

Goku looked at Chi-Chi. She looked as if she was going to cry. This confused Goku. "Chi-Chi, what's wrong?"

Chi-Chi wiped the tears that threatened to fall. "I'm a horrible wife!"

"Huh?"

Chi-Chi burst into tears and cried on Goku. "You do me such a wonderful thing by help build our home and I can't cook a decent meal for where you are satisfied!"

Goku patted Chi-Chi's back gently. "What are you talking about? I love the food. It was great."

"But I didn't fill you up!" Chi-Chi complained. "I'm your wife. I'm suppose to cook wonderful food that should fill you up and I can't do that."
