Okay, one more because I just saw this on the prompts list and- and I don't care which couple from DBZ, but this needs to be a thing: 106: “ Do you believe in aliens? ” ('Kay, I'm going to stop now. Promise.)
(not a couple but I love this platonic relationship a lot and I couldn’t resist the dramatic irony so here you go)
“Hey, do you believe in aliens?”
Goku paused stuffing his face to look at Krillin, confused. His bald friend was staring out Kame House’s kitchen window wistfully, chin in his hand. Unfortunately, he’d already cleaned his plate, so Goku couldn’t use his distraction as an excuse to steal his food.
“I dunno,” Goku said. “What’s a alien?”
“Aliens are like...space guys,” Krillin explained, looking back at Goku again. His normally squinting eyes were wide with excitement. “Nobody’s really sure if they exist or not ‘cuz no Earthling’s ever met one, but I think they’re real probably.”
Goku shoved more noodles in his mouth. “Sounds cool,” he said with his mouth full. “D’you think there’s strong ones we could fight?”
“Don’t talk with your mouth full,” Launch admonished as she started clearing some of the ever-growing pile of dirty dishes from the table. “I don’t know, Krillin, if there were aliens out there don’t you think we’d know about them by now?”
“Maybe there’s aliens living on Earth right now!” Krillin said excitedly. “Some of them can shapeshift and stuff, you know!”
Goku tilted his head. “How d’you know that if no one’s ever met one?”
Krillin shrugged. “I read a book about it once. There’s lots of evidence about aliens if you know where to look!”
“I wanna fight one,” Goku said.
“Yeah, you would,” Krillin chortled. He looked over at where Roshi was stretched out on the couch in front of the TV. “What do you think, Master Roshi?”
“Eh? About what?”
“Aliens,” explained Krillin, “like whether they exist or not.”
Roshi was quiet for a long moment, like he was trying to figure out how to say what he had to say. Goku grabbed another piece of salmon. “There’s a lot that can’t really be explained,” Roshi finally said. “I once knew a fellow who found a boy in some kind of space pod in the woods.”
“Really?” Krillin sat up straight. “What happened?”
“Don’t know.” Roshi shrugged. “Probably just some weird capsule house or something. I wouldn’t worry about it. But for the sake of argument, sure, I believe in aliens.”
Krillin beamed. “Yeah?”
“Sure.” Roshi grinned at them over the back of the couch. “I’m an immortal human man who can fire bursts of energy from my hands. Why not?”
“I hope aliens are real,” Goku said, leaning back in his chair and looking out at the stars, where aliens lived probably. “It’d be real cool to meet one someday.
