Chichi had almost finishing the dishes she and Mai had began to make before getting distracted. She was still amuse at the look of the older woman when she gave her the list of chorus to do. Chichi began to put the pig that Mai had quarter into the oven when Raditz walked into the house from the kitchen door with a smirk on his face. He seemed to very happy from the look in his eyes. She shook her head, both brothers share the same eyes and their feelings were always in full display. Something must have happen to make her brother in law happy, she mused as she saw him join Goku and Piccolo on the living room.
"I can't believe that hard headed Ape!" Mai mutter angrily as she walked behind him.
Chichi smirk as she saw her grab one of the butcher knifes and began to chop the life out of the meat in front of her. "I take it things didn't go as you had planned?"
Mai growled in frustration, "I wish you luck with yours because apparently that ape refuses to give me the advantages of being the one to form the bond first."
Chichi grinned as she went to rice maker and open it to mix some sesame oil into the just finished rice. "We shall see, I told Goku about tonight."
"I wouldn't be surprised if Goku followed Raditz's example...he told me that I will give in one day and accept his bite..." Before Mai could say anything more they heard Raditz laugh coming from the living room, "They are planning something I just know it…" Mai muttered.
Chichi smiled. She really didn't care who bit who first, but if she could form the bond first that meant she had upper hand over Goku. On the hand, is not like she didn't already had it.

The white doors open automatically of the busy ship. Dodoria enter his Emperor's command chamber and try to piece together how to best tell him, his report. Upon hearing the doors open, the emperor swirl the red liquid that was inside his wine glass.
"I hope your have good news Dodoria" Frieza stated in a dull voice as he turn to look at his second in command.
Dodoria stood proud and erect before bowing in respect, "We have been able to track Vegeta to planet Yardrat. We have send the scouts to find him there and as for Nappa his dead. We believe that his scouter was taken from him when he was killed during his transmission. At the moment of his dead he was informing us of Vegeta's open rebellion against you and what he was planning. A few days ago we got a signal coming from Nappa's scouter in a planet located in the outer edge of the north side of the galaxy."
"A signal you say?" Frieza took a sip of his wine.
"Yes Lord Frieza" Dodoria smile, "His killer must be using the scouter but we couldn't listen in on the conversation and there is a good chance that Raditz is there as well since he is still missing. If Vegeta is not in Yardrat then we will head to the location of the signal."
"Hmm...Vegeta can't be this stupid," he ponder, "Then again monkeys have never been smart. We might have to give them a visit.." Frieza smiled as he began to think on how to best make his move. when the door open once more to his command chamber.
"Lord Frieza," Zarbon spoke with urgency as he enter his emperor's room. He tried to catch his breath as sweat slowly drip from his forehead, "There has been attack to King Cole's ship that is being lead by your Uncle Arctian. All communications went down after the destruction of half of King Cole's platoon was destroyed. Prince Cooler is also under attack by your Aunt Chamial. We also lost all communications when him when the attack began."
"Things just got interesting.."mutter Frieza, "First Vegeta and now this...are we also to expect my cousins to attack us as well? Since their parents have declared war against us."
Zarbon shook his head, "There is not a single ship in sight of us Lord Frieza and the twins along with each of their teams have vanished. We are now in full alert and searching for them as well in case they have infiltrated our platoon."
"Well if my cousins aren't coming from me just yet, I guess is only fair if we join the fun. Let's go save daddy dearest first" Frieza laugh.

Chichi sat on the kitchen table after Goku and Raditz had left to go see Bulma. She had called late last night to tell them she had something they could use to train. Goku was excited since he had recently reach the same power level as Raditz. It was funny to see the sibling rivalry from them for it reminded her so much of her own sons. Now that she thought about it, Raditz and Goku have the same age difference like Gohan and Goten. She frowned, was this a family thing she wonder. Chichi twirled the milk that was in her cup lost in thought before she heard footsteps entering the kitchen. She smiled when she saw Mai.
Mai had a big scowl on her face, "What do I have to do to convince you to get a someone to do the cleaning?"
Chichi grinned, "Cleaning that bathrooms was that bad?"
Mai shudder as she walked towards the counter, "I don't want to see clean another bathroom ever again!"
Chichi laughed, "At least you are doing them like I taught you" This made Mai make a face. "I take it you rather go back to training?"
Mai nodded, "I have also noticed that your ki technique has been improving for the past week, since I started to train you and so has your temper during sparring." She grab a cup from one of the cupboards and pour herself a glass of milk from the pitcher of milk that Chichi had left outside for breakfast.
"It has been very little time but I can feel my strength has almost double." Chichi said happily as closed her eyes to try to feel her own power level.
Mai drunk some of the milk from her cup before everything stop as she heard her father's voice filled her mind. The cup fell from her hands crashing onto the kitchen floor. Her eyes had become golden as her pupils dilated. She felt someone grabbing her shoulders and shaking her as Mai snap out of her trance.
"MAI!" Chichi shouted at Mai and shook her hard to make her snap out of it. "Are you okay? You are crying!"
Mai's face had gone pale, "My parents are dead. We have to go to Bulma." She grabbed Chichi's hand and guided her to the back kitchen door as they took off flying towards Capsule Corp as fast as they could.

Bulma had recently finished her new belts based on each of the fighters needs and she couldn't believe how fast she worked on them. Mai's belt had been a great access to so much power that she even build herself one. It was not like she was going to use it but it never hurt. She placed her hands on her hips and laughed at how brilliant she was. Not only had she replicated Mai's ki manipulation belt but had made several adjustments. She run a hand over her very own brown her belt that she now wore over her blue jeans and smiled. Each belt was now able to magnify each fighter's ki like the kaio-ken without damaging their bodies in the process. The only catch was that it would always be based on their original ki level. The higher the ki level the better results they would get. Since this is a prototype for now, they can only multiply their power 10 fold.
"Bulma dear, your friends have arrived..." Bulma heard her mother say through the communication system.
"I will be right there mom!" She chirped as she grab all of her belts and went to meet her friends. She was excited to show them her hard work and she knew that Chichi would be the happiest of them all. The belt would allowed her to fight without hurting her. It didn't take her too long to arrive to the garden where her mother had gather them all. Her mom had even fed them all sorts of pastries and cookies which Goku and Raditz were devouring a great speeds.
"Bulma!" Exclaim Krillin excited to see her as he waved at her.
"Hey guys thanks for coming!" Bulma smiled as she greet them and then noticed two people missing. She frowned and went straight towards Goku and Raditz, "Where are your wives?!"
Both Goku and Raditz stop midway of their eating as they look at each other. Raditz kept on eating as Goku swallow the bite he had in his mouth. "They are at home" Answer Goku a little confused. Usually when they call the a group meeting is just for them.
"I am not even Married!" Emphasized Raditz as he put down on a plate new amounts pastries he just swipe from Bulma's mom as she passed by with a tray.
"News Flash! You are Married you dork!" Bulma hiss before looking away from him, "As a matter of fact according to Mai's family traditions on her mother's side, the moment you touch her you became her husband. Just like the saiyan bond but without the biting!" She saw Raditz shocked on the pastry he had engulf and smirk. "Serves him right" she mutter.
"How about that! Not only you are going to be a father but you have been married a long time now!" Goku patted his brother back just earning a growl from him.
"Bulma what are those things you are carrying?" ask Krillin, as he eye one of the belts that Bulma was carrying that look similar to his.
Bulma grinned, "Well guys.." She stood proudly in the middle of the small gathering, "Since I know many of you will never wear the uniforms I have created I thought I could use something you guys won't mind wearing. So I made you this belts!"
Yamcha burst into a laugh, "Belts? Bulma did you go buy them for us?"
Bulma glared at him, "For your information this belts will not only give the same results as kaio-ken times 10 without damaging your bodys but it will allow you to fight for longer periods of time without draining your energy." Bulma then heard a clapping from behind her which quickly got her attention and she slowly turned around as her eyes widen.
"Well done woman!" The rough voice of the man standing behind Bulma, praised her. "This is what you come to expect from the Saiyan princess"
"VEGETA!" Scream Bulma dropping the belts to the ground as she run towards her husband and hugged him tightly as tears began to fall from her eyes. Her body shook from happiness as well as how alone she felt without him. "You idiot!" she hit his chest, "When did you arrive?"
Vegeta smirked, "Just an hour ago. I told Raditz and Kakarot not to say anything." He was fighting the needed to hold her but there was business to address first and they didn't have much time. He placed to hands over Bulma's shoulder and gently pushed her aside as he walked where Bulma had been standing before. "We will be attack in three months time. By an clan of intergalactic mercenaries who are very powerful. Starting today you will breath, eat and sleep here. You will be training under heavy pressure and this will be nothing like you have experience before in your lifes."
Bulma noticed a woman that was now been standing right beside her. The woman turned around to look at her. Bulma guess this must be Mai's twin sister Bee, were a bit similar in looks. Unlike her sister Bee was colder, strict and more stern which was the opposite of Mai's character.
"Is a pleasure to finally meet Vegeta's princess." she said through a forced smiled.
Bulma lifted an eyebrow and didn't like her tone. Was this woman in love with Vegeta? She tried to cool her jealousy and temper. "I take it you are Bree, Mai's twin who has been looking after the safety of my husband." She too force a smile as she folded her arms over her chest and gave her a look even Vegeta will be proud off.
"I know everything about him even what he whispers in his sleep so you can imagine my surprise to know that he had a wife recently." Bee then look away from Bulma, to fix her eyes on Vegeta's back.
Bulma smirked, "He and I go way back...I bet you don't longer recognize his character either."
Bee grinned showing her canines, reminding Bulma of a snarling dog, "His character has been different but he is still the same Vegeta."
Bulma dug her nails into her palm and frown. She was going to have a long talk with Vegeta after this about this woman.
"I see you finally decided to join us Mai" Vegeta nodded to Mai and Chichi, as they landed on the lawn as he ignored the conversation between Bulma and Bee. He knew that Bulma tended to get jealous but there was nothing really to get jealous about.
Mai walked fast towards him and saluted him, "Is nice to see you again Vegeta but it I would have preferred it to be under normal circumstances."
"Understandable. As you are aware your parents have failed." Vegeta closed his eyes and folded his arms as he spoke.
"You did get father's message didn't you sister dear?" Spoke Bee as she walked towards her twin and placed a hand over her shoulder, "Now is not the time for distractions." she looked towards Raditz and giving him the dead glared, "Specially by an overgrown monkey." This earn her a growl from Raditz and the middle finger. Bee blinked not understanding what the sign Raditz did with his hand but she did saw the man that look like Raditz laugh. Bee clear her throat and look at her sister "Our dear cousins and uncle are probably on their way now to earth to make us pay for our dear parent's failures. We shall prepare as soon as possible without delay."
Mai narrow her eyes at her sister, "Frieza will pay" She remove her sister's hands from her shoulder and stood beside Vegeta. "Now listen up all of you, we will be dividing you into groups based on power levels. Vegeta, Bee and I will be looking after your training. The weakest among you will need to defeat Raditz in a spar battle in two weeks time. After that you will be given an even more intense training."
"It will be wise to put those belts now." Order Vegeta before turning to Bulma, "Did you get the gravity chamber ready woman?"
Bulma smirked and threw him a box of capsules, "Have I ever fail to provide you the best?" Then she threw him another capsule which he caught with ease as well, "Those are the new fighting uniforms." This earn her a smile from Vegeta.
"This is why you are my princess," He whispered into her ear before leaving her, which made Bulma blush. Vegeta then guided the warriors to the new location where their training will take place.
Q&A:
1. KyoruShipper: I know Goku and ChiChi remarried, but is Yamcha going to try and interfere in their relationship again?
For the moment Yamcha has given up on Chichi since Goku is so much stronger than he is. He is bitter about loosing to Goku but he has always been a good sport.
