Vegeta and the rest of the gang all stood around Capsule Corp.
"I can't believe the entire Saiyan race is back" Yamcha said. Vegeta carefully hid his distaste for the ex-thief.
"Well believe it because if I don't show up at Planet Vegeta with a princess playing as my wife, my father will send a fleet of my kind to destroy this planet and everyone on it" Vegeta said.
"Where's Goku when you need him?" Krillin asked, shaking his head sadly.
"Where are we going to get a princess?" Hercules asked, holding his granddaughter. Someone cleared their throat and they all turned around to see Chichi.
"Chichi, what are you doing here?" Yamcha asked. Vegeta walked to her. Chichi looked up at him before curtsying and bowing her head.
"Your Highness" Chichi said. Vegeta studied her for a moment.
"I'm assuming you remember most, if not all, equities taught to you about being royalty?" Vegeta asked..
"Of course, my prince. My mother raised me to be elegant and graceful" Chichi answered with a soft yet melodic voice, surprising everyone.
"We leave in a few hours. Use that time to pretty yourself up" Vegeta sneered. Chichi nodded before turning to leave but Yamcha stopped them with a question.
"What about Bulma?" Yamcha asked.
Trunks sucked in a breath while Vegeta grinded his teeth together and clenching his hands. Everyone else looked at him expectantly, not knowing what was wrong.
"You would want to know all about Bulma, wouldn't you?" Vegeta snapped.
"Whoa, calm down man. I just wanna know if she's okay with this" Yamcha asked.
"Why would I care if she's okay with or not?" Vegeta asked.
"Dad-" Trunks started.
"What's your problem man?" Krillin asked. Vegeta looked like he was gonna explode.
"Vegeta, I need a hand packing all the food we need for the trip there" Chichi cut in. Vegeta turned his glare on her before flying off towards her house.
"I wonder what his problem is" Tien murmured. Trunks glared at Yamcha but no one was looking at him except Chichi, Goten and Gohan.
"Goten, honey, can you give me a ride back home?" Chichi asked. Goten nodded and pulled on Trunks' arm to get him moving. Trunks grudgingly followed as Goten grabbed Chichi and headed home.
Goten and Trunks landed before Goten placed Chichi's feet on the ground. Chichi smiled at her son before heading inside.
"Wanna tell me what's wrong?" Goten asked Trunks who was glaring at the ground now.
Chichi walked inside her house and found Vegeta leaning against the side of the fridge. Chichi stared at him for a bit before heading up to her room. She sensed Vegeta following behind her. Chichi allowed him into her room. She reached under bed and pulled out a suitcase.
"Already prepared?" Vegeta asked. Chichi shrugged.
"In a way. Inside are all my gowns, accessories, shoes and what not. They've always been there since I didn't have the heart to throw them away" Chichi answered.
"Aren't you going to grab the food?" Vegeta asked, gruffly. Chichi turned and looked at him.
"I was told your ship had more then enough food on it" Chichi said. Vegeta looked at her for a bit.
"You tricked me into coming here?" He asked, raising an eyebrow and scowling. Chichi couldn't resist smiling.
"I provided you with a distraction and an escape from the others. I could tell you needed to get away" Chichi said. Vegeta frowned.
"So what was it that had you so an-"
"Bulma's having an affair" Vegeta cut in. Chichi looked at him, surprised before she recovered and looked at him sadly.
"With Yamcha?" Chichi asked. Vegeta nodded. Chichi sighed. "That idiot" she said, shaking her head. "How did you find out?"
"She came home one night smelling like him and sex. I haven't touched her since" Vegeta said.
"Does Trunks and Bra know?" Chichi asked.
"Trunks does but Bra doesn't" Vegeta said.
"You need to approach her about this Vegeta" Chichi said. "You need to settle it once and for all, to find out what is going to happen. She needs to realise she can't have both men" Chichi said. Vegeta said nothing.
"I understand that your Saiyan pride will stop you from saying some things, like how you're afraid of rejection. I may not be much by I'm gifted with great perception and understanding. But you need to do this Vegeta. Not only to put your soul at ease but to also do this for your family" Chichi said.
"What would you know! Your mate left you, your oldest son hates you for ruining his childhood and you still baby your 27 year old son!" Vegeta said but instantly regretted it when he saw Chichi's hurtful gaze. Her eyes welled with tears before she turned her head away. She picked up the gown she had laid out on the bed.
"You're right. What would I know?" Chichi asked softly before walking into the bathroom. Vegeta pushed down his guilt.
'Shit, that was harsh. Even for me' Vegeta thought before he left out the window. He needed to clear his head.
Chichi stood in the bathroom, leaning back against the door. Tears fell from her eyes before she slid down the door until she was sitting on the ground with her knees pulled up to her chest. The tears came faster and before long, she couldn't stop. Silent sobs wracked her body as her strong fascade finally gave way to the pain locked away deep within herself.
