Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ or any of its characters. The only things I own are my characters and any plot that is not in the DBZ anime.

Yes, I am starting a DBZ fanfic. It has been a really long time since I watched DBZ so some of my facts may be wrong. Please review and tell me if there is anything I should know. Constructive criticism is welcomed with open arms.

"He proposed to her. I can't believe he proposed to her. Ouch." Morie Seiko was untamed.

Normally.

She sat twitching in her seat, not believing the sight before her. One second it was the middle of a martial arts tournament and then the next moment it had turned into a marriage proposal ground.

Seiko's world crumbled beneath her feet. Everything was hazy. It was like someone had turned the gas on and she couldn't focus. Seiko had lost; she had officially lost her best friend.

"What just happened?" The girl was in shock and disbelief. This can't be happening, she screamed mentally. The Goku that was shy and quiet - and sometimes extremely stupid - was proposing to someone.

19 years of age, Son Goku was a sight to behold. He was attractive, there was no denying that, but Seiko couldn't help but feel as if her life had been ripped away from her.

"What happens now? It's not like I can stay in the same house as him anymore. For god's sake he's engaged now. To Chi-Chi no less." The small silver eyed girl had nothing against Chi-Chi. In fact, Seiko got along with her pretty well. It was just the fact that Goku, her best friend, was being taken away from her.

Seiko turned her attention back to Goku and his… fiancée. Goku was holding Chi-Chi and they were both laughing. Truly happy.

Goku was an easy-going person, almost anything would make him smile.

"Well if you're happy I guess I can't ask more of you, Goku." Seiko stood up slowly and looked at her feet. It felt as if a thousand rocks were being piled on her shoulders. Goku was happy, why wasn't she?

"I won't break your happiness, Goku. I know when I'm not needed." The purple haired teen turned on her heel and fled from the scene, not noticing Goku's gaze on her. She urged her feet to go faster; anything to push the image, the fresh memory away from her mind.

"Hey Goku, what colour should our wedding be based on? We have so much to plan!" Chi-Chi rambled on and on while Goku was still slightly confused as to what was happening.

He looked up and saw his 18 year old friend start to leave. The big teen looked back down at his future wife and smiled. Marrying someone meant that they were very close friends, right?

"Chi-Chi, I'll be right back. Can I just go check something?"

Chi-Chi had a doubtful look on her face as she actually contemplated her answer. Goku hesitated. He was someone who usually made very rash decisions. Chi-Chi wasn't going to continually order him around, was she?

"Goku, I'm sorry but I really need you right here. People are taking photos. And besides, don't you need to finish this competition? You are going to win, right?"

Goku grinned at Chi-Chi and flashed her two thumbs up. "Of course, Chi-Chi! I'll win for sure!" He smiled as she laughed at his comment.

Bulma was watching from the sidelines and frowned immediately. Oh Goku, I really do hope that this was a good decision on your behalf. Why does it seem as if this won't be a happy marriage?

She turned her back and headed back to Yamcha. There was obviously something about Chi-Chi that just made people hate her but Bulma decided she would get along with her for Goku's sake.

While this exchange was going on, a small purple haired girl was sprinting away from the scene. Seiko had made up her mind. She was leaving; she wasn't a home-breaker.

"I'm sorry Goku but this is something that was going to happen anyway." She wiped the few tears from her eyes and walked in the door of their home.

She looked around the kitchen, grabbing her phone off the counter and slipped on her jacket. Seiko rushed up the stairs to her bedroom. There weren't many clothes to take so she didn't have much to worry about.

"I wonder how Goku will react." The girl shook her head and laughed, tears streaming down her face, "who am I kidding? He probably won't care. He has Chi-Chi now." Her hands halted and she slapped herself in the face.

"No, Seiko, bad girl. This is the girl that's going to make Goku happy; you can't talk about her that way." Seiko scolded herself before resuming her packing. Besides, Goku would never forget about me. We've been friends since forever. As much as the girl tried to consolidate herself, she couldn't shake the desertion that she felt.

It wasn't long before Saiko had flung all her clothes in a small silver suitcase. She glanced at the Gi on her bed, along with the undershirt and armbands.

"Do I need these?" Seiko shook her head and stuffed them into the remaining space of her suitcase.

As she closed the bedroom door, Seiko slipped her hand into the front pocket of her jacket and pulled out a pendant.

"I didn't wear this today, or yesterday, or the whole of last week." She smiled sadly, regretting not wearing it. Seiko placed it onto the kitchen counter.

"Oh! I forgot to get my sash; I think… it's in Goku's room." Seiko headed to his room and turned the lights on. On the bed was a package. It was addressed to her.

Seiko, my good friend, I hope you remember today; the day we met. This is just a gift from me to make sure you remember it. Hope you like it.

Goku

Seiko gasped loudly and scolded herself for forgetting the special day. She opened the wrapping and gasped again.

It was a beautiful silver sash that matched her Gi. Embroidered on the top were the words that signified her and Goku's friendship.

Always and forever; beside each other. Reaching above and beyond.

Unable to contain herself she quickly stuffed it into her bag and left the house without a second glance.

"Hello? Mia? I'm coming to New York."

Goku didn't have a clue what had happened to Seiko. She was nowhere to be found, even after he won the competition for the first time ever. Usually the two of them celebrated any wins with a huge hunting trip. They would both go up to the mountains and camp for a week, competing with each other to catch the biggest monster.

"Chi-Chi, have you seen Seiko?" He asked his fiancée. Chi-Chi turned to face Goku before frowning.

"Why are you looking for her? Goku, you just won! And we're getting married."

Goku dismissed her rude tone and glanced worriedly at Seiko's seat again before heading over to join his friends.

The gang swarmed and congratulated him. Their cooing and teasing had started to get a bit unbearable so he began heading home, Chi-Chi in tow.

"So I've been thinking, I've already got a house for us so why don't you get your stuff and we can move in right away?"

It was a question, but it was rhetorical. Goku knew that he had to comply, so he didn't answer. Instead he lifted Chi-Chi up and sped to his house.

When they arrived, everything was dark. The house felt empty and eerily quiet. Where is Seiko?

"Why don't you go up now and pack your stuff? I'll wait down here." Chi-Chi smiled softly at the big man. He towered over her and she had to strain to look up at him.

Goku smiled widely and raised two thumbs to show he agreed. With no hesitation, he headed into Seiko's room only to shout in surprise.

"Everything… it's all gone." Goku panicked. He rushed around looking in the closet, under the bed and in the drawers, trying to find Seiko.

"No, no! This can't be happening. Seiko!" He picked up a chair and slammed it on the ground, successfully cracking two of its legs and snapping the backrest.

Chi-Chi jumped in surprise as she heard a loud crashing noise. She started heading up stairs but retraced her steps back to the counter. There was a beautiful pendant that lay there.

"It's so pretty. It's perfect for me. I'm sure Goku was going to give it to me anyway." She smiled to herself and clasped the chain around her neck, leaving the sapphire to dangle in front of her neck.

"Chi-Chi."

The girl jumped as Goku appeared, carrying three bags and a box. He looked scared and confused but was doing his best not to show it.

"Yes dear?" Chi-Chi smiled at Goku before picking up her bag.

"We have to drop these off at the house and head over to Bulma's. I have something I need to tell her." Goku's face hardened and he pushed past Chi-Chi. The big teen headed out the door. Chi-Chi looked confused as she followed Goku out, glancing around to check they had everything.

"How are you going to carry all these bags, and me?" Goku just smiled at her and laughed loudly, extending his free hand toward her. She grabbed it and yelped in surprise as he lifted her up in the air and flew to what would be his new home.

"Goku! Are you sure this is safe?" Chi-Chi screeched as she clung onto her fiancé for dear life.

"Of course, don't worry. Geez Chi-Chi, loosen up a bit."

Chi-Chi frowned at her husband before lifting her nose and ignoring him for the rest of their flight, which wasn't very long.

"Chi-Chi, you can open your eyes now." Goku laughed as the girl slowly pried her hands off her eyes slowly and glanced around.

"Oh! The ground!" She threw her hands up into the air and fell to the floor, hugging it and promising never to leave it again.

"Chi-Chi, do you have the keys?" Goku asked her, cocking his head to the side. It was rather funny to watch, a hugely muscled man balancing three bags and a box, cocking his head to the side. Chi-Chi smiled at his antics.

"Of course, they're right…" Chi-Chi trailed off as she tapped her pockets down, trying to find the keys. She sweat-dropped and turned to her waiting fiancé.

"Goku?"

"Yes Chi-Chi?"

"I…"

"You…"

"I don't have the keys, all right?" Chi-Chi panicked and ran around, rambling on about how they were never going to get inside. Goku laughed loudly and placed the bags down. He disappeared out to the woods and returned with a huge log.

"What the hell do you think you're doing, Goku?" Chi-Chi screamed as Goku prepared to slam the door down.

"What does it look like? I'm opening the door." Goku grinned at her and crashed down the door. He didn't even wince at the noise.

"Well," he stated as he picked up the bags and box, "let's head inside."

Chi-Chi rushed around while Goku sat in a chair and pondered about the whereabouts of Seiko Morie.

I wonder where she's gone. She never leaves without telling me. What if she got kidnapped? No, then her stuff wouldn't have been taken. Were there robbers? What's going on? I have to talk to Bulma.

"Chi-Chi, I'm just going to head over to Bulma's for a bit, okay?" Without waiting for an answer, Goku flew out the door and headed to Capsule Corp.

Bulma had just arrived home from the martial arts competition when Goku landed in front of her car. "Don't do that, Goku!"

He just laughed and rubbed the back of his neck before sobering and facing Bulma. "What I came here to ask you was about-"

"Seiko, right?"

The saiyan blinked and smiled. "Yeah, do you know where she is right now?"

Bulma frowned at Goku. How could he not see that his actions were hurting the purple haired girl so much? "I really think you should leave Seiko alone for a bit, she needs time and space."

"Why?"

Bulma shook her head at the giant and pushed past him, heading into her home. She stopped and turned around. "Bring Chi-Chi over soon so we can start planning the wedding." She smiled and headed inside.

"What just happened?" Goku scratched his head in confusion before shrugging and flying home. Seiko would come back eventually. She always did.

Hope you enjoyed~ And please review!
