Chapter one- Pain Isn't a Good Sign

Goku's POV

I stared out the window of the kitchen while flipping the small pastry disks that cooked slowly in the butter bedding of the hot pan. The sweet scent of pancake batter engulfing my nostrils making the small hairs on the back of my neck twitch. Closing my eyes I let myself be encompassed in the aroma that came from the stovetop.

Gosh it was the most beautiful I've ever seen it. I had opened the windows to allow the refreshing spring breeze to flow into the house. I could hear the wind chimes that encircled the house ringing as the wind playfully coiled itself around the dangling instruments. The trees brushed along one another with each passing gust that blew along with the drapes and curtains inside my home. All together it sounded like the pitter-patter of a rainstorm with a golden yellow sun still smiling over the Earth. Clouds had seemed to go into extinction as the sky shined like a radiant sapphire.

Suddenly, a foul burning scent swelled up in my nose and I quickly looked down at the pancakes that were burning away on the skillet. Snapping back to reality, I quickly ran the burnt breakfast over to the sink and turned on the cold water. I wiped the sweat that was gathering from my brow in relief. Oops, must have gotten too caught up in my thoughts. I had totally forgotten about the food! I eyed the giant stack I had already made on the counter top and smiled. That should be enough for me anyway. Since now that I lived alone.

Goten and Gohan were out on their own with their own lives and my wife, Chi-Chi, had died from breast cancer. So every once and awhile I would feel very lonely. You could say I'm just a little depressed. Everyone's always so busy and no one can ever visit me. The only time I see everyone is at Bulma's big get-togethers at the Capsule Corporation. Which I heard she was having one soon.

I was always close with Bulma. Even in between her breaks she would call and see how I was doing because she knew how alone I was in this little house all by my lonesome. I never really took part in pitying my self and I assure you I'm not. It's just it's true. Having privacy and time to yourself is a good thing just not all the time. You can get quite lonely.

She would even invite me over so I could spar with Vegeta. Oh Vegeta…still a stern guy, but he's just playing the role now a days. Him and I always have interesting conversations and we have understandings of each other. He even comforted me when my wife had passed away. He's my best friend these days. We both laugh at the times when he always had a stick shoved up his ass about me. We always have so much fun when were together. Maybe I should see if he's doing anything today.

I've really been thinking about him a lot lately. I'll admit it…I've got a crush on the prince. Ok…a HUGE crush. He's so pretty…no, gorgeous! God how I've wanted to tell him but if anything were to come between our friendship I don't know how I'd take it. At least I can still admire him and be with him. But the thought of him being my lover has never left me.

Placing the appetizing food on the table I licked my lips nearly unable to resist diving into them like a ravenous shark. I walked back into the kitchen to snatch the milk out of the fridge when I felt a strong pain coursing through my midsection and my muscles stiffened causing me to fall to the wooden oak floor beneath me. I crouched over holding my body tightly where it ached, breathing in through clenched teeth. Sparks flashed luminously before my eyes as my body was sent into a fit of spasms from the unruly convulsing. It felt as though it wouldn't stop and it would just go on forever. But after a few moments the loud hissing of my breathing soon died down as the pain started to ebb. I stood back up on trembling legs still holding my abdomen.

God that pain was so strong. It hurt so bad and came and went when it pleased. My body has been acting very funny for a while now but I haven't told anyone about it. But this…this one was the worse yet. Maybe I should tell Bulma. She'll know what's wrong with me…I hope.

A/N: What did you think? It wasn't too boring was it? I hope I gave a good start! Getting started is always the hardest part. PLZ REVIEW!
