They were already at their second pot of tea and had yet to talk about the Christmas' dinner Bulma actually had visited Chi-Chi to discuss. Goku and Goten had only greeted her before going outside to train – they had both seemed eager to get out of the house so they wouldn't have to listen to the two women's chatter.

"You will never guess our present for Gohan and Videl," Chi-Chi said with a secretive smile. Bulma had told her about her presents for her parents and it had apparently kickstarted Chi-Chi. She had heard of the three-week trip Goku had planned for him and Goten; the youngest Son hadn't been through long trainingsessions with his father like his older brother had, and his parents were convinced the he would be overjoyed to spend such a long time with his father.

"If I won't you better tell me," Bulma said and took a sip of her tea. Her friend was right – she was so lost at what to get her own family she would never figure out what her best friends would give theirs.

"We've bought a giftcard for a weekend at a hotel where we will babysit Pan so they can get some well-deserved quality time." The black-haired woman winked at her before sighing a bit too heavily. It seemed like Chi-Chi could also use some quality time with her husband; not that Bulma needed to know that… "And for Goku, I have decided to give him ten days each month where I will bake every sweets he could wish for. You've got no idea how much he has asked for sweets lately." Chi-Chi took a sip of her tea and looked out of the window at her husband and son a few seconds before turning towards Bulma. "What about you, what have you gotten for Trunks and Bra?"

"Nothing yet," Bulma admitted and shifted a bit in her seat. "I'm still trying to figure out what to get them. I'm sure it's gonna pop into my head very soon," she lied. "But more importantly, I'm at my ropes end regarding Vegeta." She sighed heavily and somehow regretted her last comment already. Even though she had been officially with Vegeta for more than a decade Chi-Chi could sometimes be a bit skeptical about the saiyan prince. "He's against Christmas, and I've got no clue why. I don't know if he will just get angry with me for getting him a present or if getting one will be the thing to convince him Christmas isn't that bad."

"Well, you don't have what I would call an easy husband." Chi-Chi chuckled but it was clear she was dead serious. "If you decide to get him a present I'm certain it would agitate him beyond belief if you gave it to him with more people than the two of you present." Bulma nodded. No matter how much Chi-Chi could dislike Vegeta in certain situations, she had never trashtalked him after realizing Bulma had fallen in love with the arrogant saiyan.

"You're right. But I think I will get a present for him… Perhaps I will give it to him after all guests have left or the day after." Bulma looked at Goku, who had popped his head inside his own living room a few seconds ago.

"The best gift for Vegeta would be a copy of our gift for Gohan and Videl for the two of you," he said and laughed when his wife and childhood friend looked at him with wide eyes and red cheeks. The carefree saiyan shrugged his shoulders. "Or you could fill capsules with food for several weeks and let him carry them around so he can eat whenever he wants without you or your mother commenting on it. I might be saiyan when it comes to food, but never as much as he is." He turned his head and said something to Goten, who probably were waiting impatiently for him. "But I actually came to ask on Goten's behalf…"

"HEY!" Chi-Chi and Bulma laughed when Goten came rushing into the living room with his arms flying around. "We both talked about it mom, it wasn't just me!"

Both women had already figured out what they were talking about, but didn't show it. "What did you come to ask then?" Chi-Chi said and looked at her husband and youngest son.

"When is dinner served?"
