Chapter one
The start of a family vacation
(Third person p.o.v)
"Listen Daisuke, I have a trip to get to and you'll just have to deal with being temporary head of the department." Kiyomi said. "I can't-" he started but was cut off by his boss. "You have no choice but too! Just call me if things get complicated..." Daisuke nodded his head as Kiyomi got into the elevator. "Tell the kids I said "happy summer vacation"..." He said lamely. Kiyomi gave him a fake smile and when the doors closed, the finger. God these people piss me off... After working with the same people for nearly four years, Kiyomi was starting to get tired. She was in much need of this vacation and was glad to get away from it all.
Two hours later...
"Happy birthday twins!" Rochelle announced happily. Although their birthday was in two weeks, Rochelle didn't mind telling them happy birthday. Because that was the day she became known as "auntie Rochelle". "Yay! Do me and Seru get cake now?" Suki asked in the cutest way. "Cake is for later Luna." Suki pouted and as usual, Seru joined as well. "But...you can get candy!" Rochelle said trying to make them happy. "Yay!" They said in unison. "You guys are already so hyper.. You sure they need candy?" Kiyomi asked whispering the last part. The twins, just like Cell, had hearing that went beyond a normal four year old so they heard everything Kiyomi said. Rochelle looked in the rearview mirror to see both the kids giving her an evil look. "Uh..." "We're here!" She announced, glad she could get out of the situation. Kiyomi stepped out her car to see Bunny in front of Capsule Corp. gardening as usual... "Alright. We say bye to Bulma and co. and hope they come on the trip with us ." Kiyomi said telling everyone the "plan". "Right." They said in unison. "Hello dear!" Bunny said cheery as usual. "Bun Bun." Seru called. "Hi there little man! Make sure to grab some cake on your way in ok!"
"CAKE!" the twins yelled and ran into the house. "esperan a bebés pequeños! (Wait little babies)" Rochelled yelled and ran in after them. "Ugh! Help me..." Kiyomi walked into the living room to see Bulma and Mr. Briefs looking at blueprints. "Oh Bulma!" She called in a sing-song way. "Kiyomi shouldn't you be gone already!" "Oh I just wanted to stop by and say 'bye' and see if your still willing to come." Bulma sighed heavily. "I wish I could...but Vegeta is being an ass and Trunks is going through a rebellious phase. I just can't handle it. Especially with the company and my father retiring-" "I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked!" Kiyomi said cutting her off. "I'll try alright." "Listen Bulma. Life is hard and it gets worse and worse and worse. But as long as you smile and tell your family how much you love them, it gets easier." "But how do you do it Kiyomi? Especially with two kids?" Kiyomi laughed. "I smile and tell them how much I love them." "I wish Vegeta would tell me how much he loved me..." "Well sometimes actions are bigger then words." Kiyomi said wisely. Bulma scoffed. "The only action that asshole does is spent in that damn gravity room." Kiyomi thought for a moment. "You should break the GR and tell him you won't fix it until you guys spend time with each other. If he doesn't comply then kick his ass out. Tell him his wife and child are done with the games." Next thing Kiyomi knew, she was in a bone crushing hug. "Thank you Kiyomi! Your the best friend I've ever had!" Bulma then stood and put her game face on. She marched outside and started ripping out the wires and cables in the GR. "VEGETA GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE!" She yelled.
Kiyomi sweat-dropped nervously. Aaaaaand that's my cue to leave! She thought. When Kiyomi turned around to leave, she bumped into someone. "Whoops sorry-" she started but was cut off by shock. It was Gohan. A much older Gohan. "Oh Gohan! Your so tall and handsome!" Kiyomi exclaimed. He blushed and looked down. "Thank you Ms. Kiyomi." "Oh no need for formalities! I'm still the same Kiyomi." She then pulled him into a hug not even caring that his face was in her cleavage. "Oh your so tall... Anyways I gotta go. But tell your parents to ask Bulma about my trip. You guys are definitely invited!" Kiyomi kissed Gohan's cheeks giggling at his blush. "NO! I'M NOT FIXING ANYTHING UNTIL YOU SPEND TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY!" Kiyomi heard Bulma's yells and got really nervous again. It was awkward to hear other couples fight and Kiyomi knew she'd get uncomfortable seeing it. Especially since it was a good friend's relationship on the line. Gohan noticed her nervousness and asked about it. "Oh nothing...well I kinda told Bulma to do this..." "Well don't worry they always argue."
Vegeta walked into the living room and eyed Kiyomi. "Well hello to you too Vegeta!" She said with sarcasm. Next thing Kiyomi knew, a pot was thrown at his head. Vegeta stood there in shock. Kiyomi looked past him to see a very pissed off Bulma. "You listen here and you listen good you asshole of a husband! I've done everything right in our relationship but if you can't even at least acknowledge your family, then you can get out of my house!" Rochelle came into the room chasing the twins but felt the tension in the air. "Everything alright in here...?" Vegeta turned, having his back on Kiyomi and Gohan, and stared stoically at Bulma. "I think you guys should go now." Gohan whispered. Kiyomi nodded in agreement. She felt guilty for what she's done but in the end, Vegeta needed some fixing. "Hey Bulma. I'm gonna start...hitting the road. I'll via send you the coordinates." Suki ran up to Bulma. "Bye bye!" She didn't even acknowledge her and kept glaring at Vegeta.
Walking out the house, Kiyomi let out a much needed breath. "What was that about?" Rochelle asked. "I guess Bulma had enough of his shit." Rochelle clicked her tongue. "pobre chica..(poor girl)" As they were driving, Rochelle decided to brighten the mood. "Hey Kiyomi. Remember the time when Seru put glue in your hair?" "Oh my- Stop talking about that!" Kiyomi unconsciously touched the left side of her shaved head. "You were really crying when we had to shave it." "Well yeah! I love my hair.." "Then why'd you shave the other side?" Kiyomi stayed silent. Really having one side shaved looked odd so she shaved both, giving her hair a Mohawk look when down. But of course she was head of a department so she mainly had it in a bun. Speaking of buns. Grabbing the hair sticks that held her hair in place, Kiyomi let it down giving her hair slight curls. "Oh look it's the wild one!" Rochelle said with fake excitement. "If only we could see her tattoo!" "Most definitely not." Ever since the twins were born, Kiyomi kept her arm covered with bandages. Sometimes she'll just wear long sleeves but no one knew of the tattoo. Not even Bulma. It's not that she was embarrassed she just didn't want to be categorized as "that" parent.
Three hours later...
"I gotta go potty mommy!" Seru yelled. "Me too!" Suki chimed in. "But we're almost there!" Rochelle whined. "Hey I gotta change my clothes anyways. Just make one stop." Kiyomi said. Using her Via pad, she saw that it was 4:32. Only 45 more miles to go.. She thought. Rochelle stopped at the gas station and took the kids to the bathroom. Kiyomi grabbed a capsule that had clothes and followed them in. After changing into a pair of jean shorts, a long sleeved navy blue shirt (to cover her arm), and white platform wedges, Kiyomi fixed her make up in the mirror. Putting on mascara and lip balm Rochelle came out the bathroom and washed her hands. After a lot of complaining, they were ready to hit the road again. It was quite in the car so Rochelle decided to sing Shake it Off by Taylor Swift. "No. No. No. Anything but that stupid song." "Oh come on Kiyomi! The kids like it." Kiyomi heard Suki singing along with the radio and instantly let the song slide. The song ended and Kiyomi decided to hum her own song. No Money by Galantis. "You might knock me down. You might knock me down. But I will get back again." "You can call it how you wanna I ain't giving you a dollar this time I ain't gonna run away.." Seru sung. Suki covered her ears. Indicating that his singing was bad. He blew a raspberry at her and she did the same back.
Suki had her hair in a braid with a bow on the end and Seru decided to be a brother. Snatching it out her hair, he threw it out the window. Suki gasped and started hitting him which resulted in a fight. "Hey. Hey!" Kiyomi yelled. When they didn't listen, she took off her seatbelt and got in the back separating the two. Grabbing their ears, she gave it a pull which made them both cry. "Hush now!" Kiyomi commands. "Seru. Stop messing with your sister. Suki stop messing with your brother." "He threw my bow out!" Kiyomi gasped. Letting go of their ears she gave Seru a disappointed look. "Seru why would you do that?" He didn't answer, so Kiyomi turned his chin to meet her eyes. "Do you feel bad?" Seru nodded his head. "Don't you think you owe Suki an apology." "Yes." "I'm sorry Suki for throwing bow out window." "Good. Suki do you forgive your brother." "Yes." She said with a mad face. "Good! Now mommy is gonna have a nap and I don't want to be disturbed." Kiyomi kissed their foreheads and got back in the front. "Alright mama osa! (Mama bear)" Rochelle announced. "Yes yes. Save your applause for later." Getting settled, she took a much needed nap...
"Wake up mommy." Suki whispered. "Why...?" Kiyomi groaned. "We're here." She whispered back. Kiyomi groaned and stretched her muscles, hearing a nice pop in her arm. Getting out the car, she took a deep breath and slowly let it out. "Ah...the great outdoors!" When she was a child, her parents would go on family vacations to their cabin on the lakeside. It was an older, smaller place but with renovations it became a dream cabin. Instead of two bedrooms it had five with three bathrooms. The kitchen was bigger with granite countertops and wood cupboards. The living room had white carpet (so did the bedrooms) with two toffee color couches and a love seat. In the middle was a glass coffee table and across from it was the fireplace. It was the middle of summer so of course it wouldn't be used but it was still beautiful. Two bedrooms were downstairs, one had a bathroom in it the other bathroom in the hall upstairs. The other three rooms were upstairs. One was a master and the other two were regular rooms. The master had a balcony that over looked a part of the forest and backyard while the regular rooms had huge windows that could see some of the woods as well. The best part of the cabin was the garden. You'd first step on to the wooden deck, which had chairs and a bonfire pit along with a table to play cards on. A stone path led you through it while you could gaze at the flowers and the huge Sakura tree that had a swing on it, obviously made for a child. If you kept following the path then you would see the dock that had a motorboat parked near it.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Rochelle asked. "Yeah. Well let's unpack!" Kiyomi announced. "We already did!" Suki said proudly. "Oh how long was I out?" "Three hours." "Oops.." Kiyomi blushed with embarrassment. "It's alright. Hard working women need their rest." Kiyomi walked into the house and was amazed at how cozy it felt inside. "Room's upstairs!" Rochelle yelled from the kitchen. Walking upstairs she remembered something important. Grabbing the capsule from her pocket, she opened it to find her space-rock-crystal. Memories from her date with Cell flooded her mind. Don't think about those memories... She thought. Kiyomi put the crystal on the mantelpiece above the fireplace and admired it for a moment. Settling with how it looked she was walking upstairs when the twins ran down asking her something at the same time. "Woah. One at a time!" "Can we go play outside?" Seru asked. "Sure." I know what your thinking. Who the hell let's four year olds play in the woods. Seru and Suki were different from normal kids. They could lift Kiyomi's hover jet without any complaints. If a wild animal were to come by they could easily out run it. Or use their whistles. It wasn't like a stranger danger whistle it was more of a we're lost whistle. As long as they had it they'd be fine. "You guys got your whistles?" "Yes." They said in unison. "Okay. Don't go too far and come back when the sky is pink." Nodding their heads, they ran off to the woods to have some kid like fun. "Oh bath! You're calling me!" Kiyomi announced walking up to her room.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Suki climbed the tree, hiding from her brother. They were playing hide-n-seek and she had to stop herself from giggling. "Found you!" Seru called. "You have to tag me!" Suki then ran off with Seru on her heals. Tapping her shoulder he said that she was 'it'. "Count to 100!" Seru said. "One. Two. Three." Seru ran off to find his hiding spot. The children didn't realize it but they were being spied on. The person wasn't exactly watching them, but occasionally listened more into their game. They weren't annoyed and didn't want to harm the twins. Just mildly interested in their game of hide-n-seek. "Ninety-eight. Ninety-nine. One hundred! Ready or not here I come!" Suki climbed trees and searched for any movement. Not realizing that Seru was on the other side of the tree hiding. Seeing movement in a clearing ahead, she ran towards her "brother" and tagged him yelling your it. Immediately something was wrong. This was NOT her brother. This person had green skin with black speckled dots. Their hands were white along with their face except for the purple marks on the cheeks and the yellow chin.
This persons head looked like a crown and Suki couldn't help but admire it. It was so big. Like a tree. "Suki!" Seru called but stopped as well when he saw the mystery man. "Suki..mommy said don't talk to strangers.." He whispered. The man's head was lowered and his eyes were closed. Arms crossed, he opened his eyes which made Suki gasped. The man had the same eye color as her! "Who are you sir?" She asked. He just stared. Seru got a bad feeling and just wanted to run away. Suki was always the friendly, careless one while Seru was cautious and uptight. "Suki. I wanna go home now." "Oh come on Seru! The man is nice. Right Mister?" The man stared intently at Suki. "What's your name?" He asked. "I'm Suki! And that's my brother, Seru!" Suki gave the man an expression that said, well what's your name? "I am Cell." "Celery!" Seru yelled. He hated vegetables and any mention of it made him want to run. So he did. "Wanna play?" Suki asked ignoring her brother. She didn't know why but Cell made her feel safe. He was someone who she wanted to be friends with. Cell on the other hand was intrigued by the girl. Same eye color, same purple hair like...her. Then it clicked. She had another mate and this was one of their children. But the eye color...
Doesn't matter. If she could lead him to where Kiyomi was then he'd kill her new mate and take what was his. "Yes. How about tag? You run home and I'll try to catch you before you make it?" Suki eyes light up with joy! "Okay! Count to ten!" Cell rolled his eye. "One." "Eyes closed!" Suki interrupted. Rolling his eyes again, Cell closed his eyes and started counting. Seru was already home and bursted through the doors scaring poor Rochelle. She saw his scared look and immediately asked what was wrong. "Celery man out there!" "What?!" "Where's Suki?" She asked alarmed. "She stayed with Celery man!" Oh shit.. She thought and ran upstairs. Kiyomi was just now getting out the bath when she heard Rochelle's alarmed knocking. "What? What's wrong?!" "Suki stayed with the Celery man!" Seru explained. "Who..?" She asked confused. "What did he look like?" "He was tall. Green and, and had black wings so that he could make me eat my vegetables!" Seru cried. Rochelle and Kiyomi's eyes widen. The only person who fit that description was the one and only, Cell the bio mechanical android. Kiyomi closed her eyes shushing Rochelle's rants and cries. Feeling for Suki's ki she could feel it coming closer to the cabin. With Cell on his way too.
Oh shit. Looks like Cell is on his way! Chapter three will explain how he got to the woods since, you know he was frozen in the mountains... But anyways how was your guys week? Mine was alright.. On summer break so I've been to way too many parties. Just ready to chill for a while.. I hope you guys like that little thing with Bulma and Vegeta because that was my fav part of this chapter. Please leave a review and tell me what you think! Bye guys. 3

He was back. He was actually back.
"Yay! I win Cell."
"Plan is moving into action."
"Why so you can ridicule me?! Tell me how much of a bad mother I am!
"I want you to leave me and my family alone."
Something warm and wet slipped down Cell's cheek.
