Chapter 1, Awakening.

When Lord Beerus requests that Whis travels to Earth to summon Goku back with him, Whis doesn't imagine that it will take him longer than the hour that he has planned it to take; twenty-seven minutes of road time to Earth, and around six or seven minutes for niceties and small talk while Goku gets himself ready to go back with him, and then twenty-seven minutes back to Lord Beerus.

But, oh, it does; it takes longer than the hour he thought it would take.

He doesn't think that there would be a possibility of being told by Goku's wife that Goku just left a second ago, when he shows up at their doorstep. He is a god's right-hand man as it is, so no, the idea of his timing being anything under impeccable, is unfathomable to him.

But, ah, he misses Goku just by a second.

He doesn't factor that maybe, just maybe, Goku's wife would be in the middle of preparing a meal that smells decadently heaven-like, and when she opens the door a little wider for him, he would automatically be drawn inside the house through his feet, by his nose.

But, ah again, he finds himself inside the Son house.

He doesn't leave room open for the assumption that Goku's wife, would smile in a pleasant knowing way, as a way of inviting him to feel welcome when he turns to her, to curiously ask, 'Oh my! What is that delightful smell?' He was never properly acquainted with the woman, unlike with Bulma, and so, he doesn't think that she would be courteous to invite him in, more than he is comfortable enough to call her by her name other than the title of Goku's wife.

But, oh, his dear Lord Beerus, she does.

He doesn't dare to imagine that Goku's wife would politely gesture to the dining table, silently telling him to go over to it, and shortly thereafter place a well arranged plate of food in front of him, softly advising him to start eating when his eyes unabashedly pop out at the appetising content.

But, oh, again, she does and no, he does not, for the sake of his taste buds, turn down the offer.

He doesn't weigh the probability that Goku's wife's food would taste three universes better than all the food in the places that Bulma takes him to, and thus, make him believe their food to have the best taste. He's a novice in Earthling food, he easily takes what he receives, and so he never had a reason to believe that there could be food that tastes better than the best.

But, oh, divine ruler of Universe 7, her food tastes nothing like he's ever had; not quite.

He does, however, begrudgingly take a few seconds to tear his mind's concentration away from the divine taste of the food, to think that this –he lifts his head to briefly look at Goku's wife- must be the reason that Goku loves to eat so much.

Needless to say, even after all that, Whis doesn't consider that Goku's wife would offer him a second helping, then a third, and a fourth, and then two desserts, all in extreme portions, so that when Lord Beerus telepathically calls on him, he would ignore the call to savour the very last bit of the dessert.

But, oh, thank some deity, because she does and when she does, he does shamelessly put off answering the call of his Lord.

And so, it begins.
