~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...When the four warriors left the house, much much later, they found Bulma and ChiChi eye to eye, nose to nose. They were squaring up to each other with smouldering glares. Something was about to snap.

'Mommy! We're ready!' Little Goten broke the silence, running across to the ladies quite oblivious of the hostility.

'Oh, ok Goten,' ChiChi turned her attention to her son. 'You show that Trunks who's boss now!'

'Right!'

Trunks looked sceptically at his best pal. There was no doubt in his mind who was going to win the encounter… well, maybe just a little bit.

The two chibis stood opposite each other, relaxed and ready to fight.

'Don't think I'm gunna go easy on you, Goten!' Trunks baited.

'Me either, Trunks!' Goten grinned, and quick as a flash, punched Trunks in the nose!

'Yes!' ChiChi cheered from the sidelines, while Bulma tsked.

Trunks took two fingers and poked them straight into Goten's eyes!

'Aaaaaah!' he yelped, hands flying up to cover them.

Snickering to himself, Trunks landed a flurry of fast blows to the blinded Son's mid section.

Goten stumbled backwards with each blow. 'Ow! Ow! No! Fair! Trunks!'

'Who's fair?' Trunks grinned, sweeping Goten's legs from under him.

As the little black haired demi saiyan lay on his back, Trunks leapt into the air to come crashing down on top of him. Goten, quick as he could, powered up to Super Saiyan, and Trunks simply bounced off him, repelled by the immense aura.

Goten sprang to life, knocking Trunks high into the air with an uppercut.

'Wheeeeeeeeee!' ChiChi chirped gleefully.

'Oh yeah, Chi… you laugh, but … you'll get yours!' Bulma replied protectively.

ChiChi burst into a fit of giggles. 'Don't think so Bulma.' She gave the blue haired onna a nudge with her elbow.

'Oi!!' Bulma pushed back, hard as she could. ChiChi fell backwards a step or two, then rolled up her sleeves.

'Now you're for it missy!' She charged towards Bulma but was stopped when a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist, holding her back.

'Goku! Let me go Goku!' she struggled against her husband.

'Let Trunks and Goten fight just now, Chi,' Goku said soothingly. 'You two will get your chance in a little bit.'

'But I WANNA FIGHT HER NOW!' ChiChi pouted.

Bulma took a step back herself, paling considerably.

'What are you doing, boy? Finish him, now!' Vegeta's cry broke the tension, and all eyes turned back to the ongoing fight.

Goten had two firm fistfuls of Trunks beautiful hair, and was literally throwing him from left to right by his lavender follicles. Bulma's hand flew up to her mouth.

'Nooooooo!!! Not his hair!! My baby! Gettim Trunks!'

A moment later, a loud ripping sound was heard, not unlike a velcro fastener being pulled apart. Chibi Trunks was released from Goten's grip and hurtled threw the air, landing with a crash on the grass. In the Chibi Son's hands were two large clumps of lavender coloured hair.

All fell silent.

All mouths hung open in shock.

Trunks eyes widened to the point of popping as he put his hands up to feel where his bangs had once sat so perfectly. His face took on a look that made even ChiChi quiver where she stood, and Goten grinned sheepishly, nervously, backing up all the while.

'Gee, Trunks… I, uh… I didn't mean to…'

Deafened to Goten's excuses and apologies, Trunks went super in a split second and tore towards his best pal at the speed of light.

Goten let out a little gasp. This was not good. NOT GOOD!

Catching him off guard, Trunks grabbed hold of both Goten's ankles and began to swing him around in circles going faster and faster. The blood all rushed to little Goten's head, and, completely disorientated, he knew there was only one way out of this.

The audience of Goku, Vegeta, ChiChi and Bulma watched in a mixture of fascination and horror, waiting for the inevitable.

When Trunks had reached his maximum speed, he released his grip on Goten's ankles. The poor Chibi rocketed straight into the middle of the group, smacking right into Bulma!

His hair turned from golden back to black, and he lay quite still on the ground.

So did Bulma!

'Oh no! Mom!' Trunks ran across to where Bulma lay. Vegeta was already crouching over her, trying to revive the poor woman.

'Could you not have won some other way, brat?' he quirked an eyebrow in annoyance at his only son.

'Heh…' Trunks rubbed the back of his head.

'Wh - where am I?' Goten sat up, rubbing his eyes.

'Goten, honey,' ChiChi's face lit up. 'You're ok baby, you're in Capsule Corps.' She patted his forehead and gave him a hug.

'Did I win?' Goten asked, before realising the answer. 'Hmm, I guess not huh?'

Catching sight of Trunks, he burst into a fit of giggles. 'Trunks, you look funny!' he pointed at the missing bangs.

'Shut up Goten! It's not funny!' Trunks scowled like his father.

'Yes it is! Bwahahahahaha!' Goten held his belly and laughed gleefully.

A strangled, muffled sound was heard. It was coming from Goku. His face was turning quite red, and before long, unable to hold it any longer, the Z fighter joined his son, and broke out into loud peels of laughter.

Trunks gasped in indignation. 'Goku!! Are you… are you laughing at me?!!'

Goku clamped a large hand over his mouth. 'Sorry Trunks, its just… you do look kinda funny.' He grinned good naturedly.

'It'll grow back honey, don't worry,' a weak voice spoke out. Bulma had regained conciousness!

'Mom! You ok?' Trunks hugged his mum gently.

'Yeah,' she nodded. 'Did you win?'

Trunks nodded proudly. 'Sure did, mom!'

'Yes!' Vegeta said loudly. 'Brief - 1: Son - 0!'

'Unless you want to count the playstation tourney!' Goku grinned. 'That would make it one all, right Vegeta??'

Vegeta's proud, smug look disintegrated into one of bitter annoyance. 'Shut your face, Kakarot! You know you only won because my joy pad was broken! The top button's didn't work… isn't that right Trunks?'

Vegeta sneakily pinched Trunks behind his back, unseen by the others.

'Yes!' Trunks yelped. 'Yes, its broken!'

'Oh, I guess it was,' Goku said surprised.

Satisfied, Vegeta released his grip on his chibi son.

'OK Bulma,' ChiChi spoke with a menacing glow in her eye. 'I think its time I got one back for the Son's.'

'Oh yeah?' Bulma folded her arms defiantly. 'Dream on ChiChi. I'm gonna show you the true meaning of the word pain.'

The rest of the group burst out laughing. Goten and Trunks hugged each other in laughter, putting their differences aside. Vegeta rolled about on the grass, laughing as much as he had in a long time. Goku chuckled to himself and ChiChi held herself up against a tree, bent over in laughter.

Bulma put her hands on her hips. How humiliating!

'Guys! GUYS!! Stop it already!' she stomped her foot on the ground. 'I'll show you.'

The group nodded dumbly through their laughter.

'Heh! Fine! I'm gonna go get my fighting gear on. ChiChi… I'll see you in five.'

'OK Bulma sweetie,' ChiChi grinned. 'Oh, just to be fair, you can use a weapon if you want, ok?'

Bulma raised an eyebrow in surprise. Was she really that bad? Well, no point complaining. She would take whatever advantage she could. Entering the house to change, she ran through her mind what sort of weapon she could use…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, that's another chappie done! So looks like the Brief family have a slight advantage at the mo, right?

Jesscheaux: you're right! It's my love of the Brief family that shines through. I do love the Son's too, especially Goku, Goten and Gohan… but my fave characters all come from the Brief family… well, apart from Piccolo, who comes from… an egg… ^_^

*takes bets from SSJ Tokya and Kittioto* Right, so that's one for the Briefs and one for the Sons! *writes in her book*
