Note: *pouts* How come 3 people only reviewed the last chapter? I guess it really sucked. Only the encouraging words of L.A Whitfield and a few others are keeping me from giving up. Please review this one. Thanx to those who reviewed.

Matchmaker from hell pt.2

Goku flew towards where Gohan, Piccolo, Tien and Chow-su were training.

“If I can’t eat, I might as well train…” Goku sighed as he landed. Gohan ducked Piccolo’s fist and turned to see his father.

“Hey dad! Wanna train with us?” Gohan asked. Chow-su and Tien came over.

“Hey Goku! What’s up?” Tien asked. Goku put his hand at the back of his and grinned sheepishly. “Ummm… ChiChi kinda threw me outta the house.” Goku said shamefully.

Piccolo heard this and cracked up. Everyone shot him a strange look. Piccolo stopped and cleared his throat.

“Oookkkaaayyy….” Tien said. “Why did she throw you out?”

Goku looked down shamefully his face turning red.

“I… swallowed her wedding ring.” He muttered.

“WHAT!? Dad! How could you?” Gohan exclaimed.

“I sorta just swiped everything off the counter, including that.” Goku mumbled as he shuffled his feet. Chow-su shook his head. “Why don’t you cough it back up or something?” He asked.

Goku’s face lit up. “That’s a great idea! But how am I going to do that?”

Tien, Chow-su, Gohan and Piccolo exchanged looks knowing that whatever was claimed by Goku’s mouth never escaped its fate. “Er… we’ll think of something.” Tien muttered.

“Enough of this gibberish! Let’s fight!” Piccolo said getting into a stance.

As they sparred a disturbing thought distracted Gohan.

‘We better get that ring out…’ He thought. ‘Before it comes out through the other end…’

ChiChi was starting to panic. ‘Oh what is wrong with him!? Something really weird is going on around here!’ She thought nervously.

“I guess you just want coffee!” ChiChi said a little too loudly. “I’ll just… um…” ChiChi looked around trying to hint that she was stuck. She moved a little to the right and Vegeta followed her exact move. She tried the other side but he did too. ‘Oh no…’ ChiChi’s mind groaned.

“Now how am I supposed to get you coffee with you blocking my way like that!” ChiChi said beckoning to him. Vegeta didn’t budge.

“Well then I guess you don’t like coffee huh?!” ChiChi asked shrilly. Vegeta nodded slowly his eyes not wavering. “Well, what do you like?” ChiChi asked trying to stall.

“You.” He murmured. ChiChi’s eyes widened with shock.

“W-what!?” She stammered.

“I never realized that Kakarot was such a lucky man.” He said surprising ChiChi even more.

“W-what do you mean?” She stuttered.

“He has you. Everything anyone would want.” He murmured as his eyes studied her features.

ChiChi couldn’t help but be flattered. “T-thank you… I guess.”

“A gem like you should have more…” He said as his eyes continued to study ChiChi.

“V-Vegeta, are you okay? What about Bulma?” ChiChi said her voice full of panic.

Vegeta suddenly narrowed his eyes in seething hate at the mention of the name.

‘Oops…’ ChiChi thought dreadfully. ‘Now I’m dead.’

“Bulma!” He spat as he clenched his fists in anger. “She is nothing to me anymore! Just another pathetic human who has turned to someone else!” He said angrily.

ChiChi’s eyes widened with fear and she bit her bottom lip fearfully. ‘Uh oh…’

The pixie’s small eyes widened with panic. “Oh no!” It gasped. “I can’t get to her! Ohh… Cupid is gonna kill me!”

Vegeta’s eyes widened with surprise when he caught the frightened look on ChiChi’s face.

“Don’t be afraid,” He said almost gently. “I will never hurt you.” (My God! Imagine that!)

ChiChi’s jaw almost hit the floor. ‘Did he say what I think he said…?’ She thought in wonder.

“Why?” ChiChi asked slowly and cautiously. Vegeta’s eyes widened.

“B-because… I…” He mumbled as he tried to find the words.

The pixie was totally panic stricken by now. “Oh no! I’m going to give someone a broken heart if I don’t hurry!” It gasped as it desperately tried to aim for ChiChi.

Vegeta put his head in his hands as he turned away. ChiChi suddenly felt a small twinge of guilt. She reached out slightly and stopped in mid air. “I’m sorry…” She said softly.

“What’s happening to me?” Vegeta whispered to himself.

“Your in love buddy,” The pixie muttered. “ARGH! I’m gonna get her no matter what!” It said as it chewed furiously on its fingernails.

“Vegeta…? What’s wrong? Y-you can tell me. Did I do something?” ChiChi said softly.

“You did nothing.” He said his voice low and soft. “It’s me.”

“What? Are you going to die or something!? TELL ME!” ChiChi shouted now losing her patience.

Vegeta slowly turned around. ChiChi looked at his face trying to figure out what was bothering him so. He took a deep breath and looked her straight in the eyes.

“I think… I’m in love with you…” He murmured almost seemingly to himself.

ChiChi just stared. Too stunned to even move.

“V-Vegeta…?” She whispered in absolute shock. ‘He… loves…me…?’ She thought.

The pixie grabbed its shimmering red hair and proceeded to rip it out of its head.

“No! No! No! This can’t happen! Ooohh!!! I’m in soooo much trouble!” It squealed.

Vegeta backed away from ChiChi as his own eyes widened with shock at what he had just said.

He backed away until he bumped into the other side of the kitchen. His eyes wide with confusion and a mixed set of feelings. ChiChi sank to the floor still in shock of what he told her.

‘How…?’

‘Why…?’

ChiChi thought silently. The phone suddenly rang startling them both out of silence.

ChiChi got up and picked up the receiver. She looked up at him. “Go sit down.” She said quietly beckoning to the living room. Vegeta gave her a look as he walked into the living room.

ChiChi raised the receiver to her ear.

“Hello?”

“Hi ChiChi! Its me Krillan. Is Goku there by any chance?” Krillan asked.

“N-no… he’s not here.”

“Bummer… any idea where I can find him?” Krillan asked.

“Er.. um… I think he’s out with Gohan, Tien, Chow-su and Piccolo training.” ChiChi said.

“Oh okay. Thanks ChiChi, bye!”

“Bye…” ChiChi said into the phone. She set it down slowly and looked towards the living room door. The pixie slapped itself repeatedly in the face.

“Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!” It said angrily. “I have to get her! I just have to!”

ChiChi took a deep breath and took slow cautious steps until she reached the doorway.

She could see Vegeta sitting on the sofa facing away with his head in his hands.

ChiChi could feel another twinge of guilt.

‘But its not my fault! It was so… sudden.’ She thought. ‘How come I didn’t see a sign of this before…?’ ChiChi walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder. Vegeta didn’t look up.

ChiChi sighed and sat next to him.

“Tell me what’s wrong. Are you sure you really… um, you know?” ChiChi asked trying to be helpful. He finally looked up but refused to look at her. He stared straight ahead.

“I don’t know what’s happening to me. I-I’ve never felt this way before.” He said totally not aware of his pride at the moment.

The pixie flew in careful to not show itself. It hid behind the couch and looked over the top to see the back of Vegeta and ChiChi’s heads. It slowly took aim.

“Why do I feel so weak compared to you? Why do I feel so drawn to you? What’s wrong with me!?” He yelled now angry with himself.

ChiChi jumped at his sudden outburst.

“It’s okay to feel that way Vegeta. It’s not a bad thing.” ChiChi said not so sure of herself. Vegeta finally looked at her. “It isn’t?”

ChiChi shook her head. “Love is never a bad thing.”

Vegeta flinched at the use of the word but didn’t look away. ChiChi smiled reassuringly and tried not to strangle herself.

The pixie was just about to shoot when ChiChi suddenly flicked her hair back and hit the small pixie right in the face. It let out a small scream as it was hurled back. It hit the wall with a splat and slid down to the ground seeing mini Cupids fly round it’s head.

ChiChi looked at Vegeta in confusion as he turned away again. “What’s wrong now?” ChiChi asked sighing. “What’s the point of.. IT when the other person doesn’t feel the same way?” He muttered bitterly. ChiChi’s eyes widened.

“I’m sorry Vegeta, but I love my Goku. It just wouldn’t be right.” ChiChi said as gently as it could.

The pixie stared in horror. It could sense Vegeta’s heartbreak.

A small tear rolled down its cheeks as it sniffed and wiped its eyes. It grabbed its bow and arrow and headed straight for ChiChi.

Vegeta forced himself to get up. “I’ll be leaving now.” He said bluntly as he headed for the door. ‘Oh no...what have I done…?’ ChiChi thought in horror.

She stood up. “Vegeta wait!” She cried. At that moment she felt a small ping in her back.
