A/N: Hey guys! This is my second fanfic. I decided that now would be a good time to start a Christmas fanfic since it's right around the corner. Merry Early Christmas everyone!

I do NOT own DBZ. It belongs to Akira Toriyama.

Chapter 1

Bulma Briefs rushed around Capsule Corp, stringing lights on staircases and hanging garland on various Christmas trees. She checked her watch. It read 11 o'clock. She sighed. Trunks was supposed to be up and helping her an hour ago. Tired of having to yell for him, she marched upstairs and dumped a pot of freezing water on his head.

"Hey! What's the big idea?!" he asked as he wrung the water out of his hair.

"You were supposed to be up a while ago. Now get up and help me hang these decorations." she said.

Trunks sighed as he marched downstairs behind his mother.

"Where's Dad?" he later asked.

"Outside training in the gravity chamber. He's still hung up on beating Goku." she said while reaching on her toes to hang a star on the top of a tree.

"I can't say I blame him. Goku's a showoff." Trunks said while leaning against the wall.

"Goku isn't a showoff. Do you think he gains all that power just to flaunt it and make everyone else jealous?" she said in Goku's defense.

"Good point. Well, it was fun helping you but I wanna go train with Dad!" he said as he made his way to the door, but before he could leave, she stopped him.

"You can train. After you tell everyone about the Christmas party." she said, placing her hands on her hips.

"Why would I do that?"

"Because if you don't, I'll tell Chi-chi not to make her Christmas pie." she said, knowing she would win him over with that.

"But I love her Christmas pie!"

"Then go do it or no Christmas pie for you."

"Ugh... fine." he said, and with that, he took off in the direction of the Son house.

Meanwhile, at the Son house, Chi-chi rushed around the kitchen, stirring various pots and pulling foods out of the oven and putting new foods in. Goten watched her mother run around, impressed by her speed.

"Mom, you realize that Christmas dinner isn't until tomorrow, right?" he asked.

"Yes, I do Goten. Mommy just likes to get a head start, that's all." she said.

"Mom, I'm seven years old. You can call me by my name." he said, frowning at the fact he was being treated like a baby. Gohan came in just after that.

"Get used to it, little guy. Mom didn't stop treating me like a baby till' I was fourteen." he said as he examined everything Chi-chi had prepared. He was about to steal something, but Chi-chi smacked his hand with a metal spoon.

"Don't touch!" she shrieked.

After hearing Chi-chi shriek, Goku walked in, curious on what Chi-chi was shrieking about this time. But as soon as he saw all the food laid out, he immediately dropped the thought and went straight to the food. Suddenly, he was smacked in the head with a frying pan.

"I just smacked Gohan for the same thing! Next time I use the oven." she said menacingly. Goku laughed sheepishly as he backed away. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Goten ran to answer it. He was surprised to see Trunks, and he was sweaty and out of breath.

"Trunks? What are you doing all the way out here? The only people who come out here are forest bandits, which Mom beats up." he said, chuckling at the memory of when he was three and watching her take down three forest bandits.

"My... Mom... is having a Christmas... party... tonight, at... 7:30. She said to bring... a few... dishes. She said to dress... appropria...tely. It's at... Capsule Corp. Will you be there?" he asked, taking many short breaths in between his words.

"Man, you look like you just ran a marathon. Um, we're not doing anything, so I guess so. See ya then! Oh, and tell Mrs. Bulma I said hi." he said.

"Ya know, you can just call my Mom Bulma. But anyway, see ya." he said, stating the first part flatly. Goten shrugged as he went in and told everyone about the party.

"Huh. Looks like you're gonna have to kick it into overdrive Mom." Gohan said jokingly. But Chi-chi took it as if he weren't kidding, and she began to run twice as fast as she was before.

"Good job, Gohan." Goten said sarcastically.

At Kame House, things were going much smoother. Krillin was out getting a tree while Android 18 and Marron were making Christmas cookies. Android 18 had never been one for cooking, but after having Marron, it changed her personality a bit, and she had gotten into and had gotten much better.

"Momma, should the oven have black puffy stuff coming from it?" Marron asked. Android 18 looked over to find that the oven was smoking.

"No, it shouldn't." she said quickly as she ran over to the oven and turned down the heat. She checked on the first batch of cookies. They were done, but not burnt. While thanking Dende for that, she pulled them out and set them on the counter. Master Roshi came in just after that.

"What's all the commotion? I'm trying to enjoy some reading." he said while holding hentai magazines in his hand.

"Yeah... "reading." Lecherous old man." she said under her breath. Soon after that, Krillin walked in with a Christmas tree that was nearly too big to fit.
"I'm home!" he said.

"Krillin, I told you to go buy a tree, not cut one down. Now I'm going to have to deal with sap and pine needles." she said.

"Oh honey, please. It's natural! And besides, we can make a natural tree look way better than those fancy store-bought trees." he said, smiling proudly at it.

"Alright, whatever. But if it leaks sap or if the pine needles fall on the floor, you deal with it." she said as she walked into the kitchen to finish her second batch of cookies.

"Right. Oh, by the way, Trunks caught me while I was out and said that we were all invited to a Christmas party at her place tonight at 7:30. She said to bring a dish." Krillin explained.

"Sounds fun. I'll just bring my cookies." 18 called from the kitchen.

Back at Capsule Corp, it was nearing closer to the time that the party was about to start. Vegeta was curious on why Bulma was rushing.

"Woman! Why are you running around this house?!" he asked.

"I already told you! We're having a Christmas party tonight. I'm trying to get everything ready." she said.

"Please tell me you didn't invite that clown Kakarrot." Vegeta said in an irritated manner.

"Well of course I did. He's my best friend it'd be rude not to invite him." she said, stopping her work for that moment.

"Why would you do that?" he asked like she was an idiot.

"Oh please you sound like a teenage girl." Bulma snapped.

"Very well. Just keep him occupied." he said as he stormed off.

"I'd better. If I don't this whole house might come down." she said to herself as she continued to place the finishing touches on the food and decorations.

A/N: The next chapter should be up soon. Let me know what you guys think! Happy Holidays!
