"I wish we could stay here" Goten smiled after they finished their lunch.

Since they were in the army, it was the first time they could eat as much as they wanted. Hunting wasn't a problem for them and they knew most of the edible plants as well. It was like a break from all the crazy stuff what was recently going on. Also, they finally got to train and this time really train and spar with each other. Of course without the gravity room they had to restrain their attacks not to blow up anything major, but still it was like freedom. When the week was over, they reluctantly packed up and went back to the barracks. Sergeant Miller personally wanted to see every returning group and he couldn't believe his eyes, when the saiyans got back and gave back their backpacks. While an another sergeant went through it and made sure no gun is missing, Miller was staring at them suspiciously. All 5 of them had a relatively clean uniform, which wasn't even torn. Seemingly they had no injuries either but the most confusing issue was that they seemed relaxed. Like they went to some kind of spa hotel, instead of the woods!

"I don't understand" said the soldier while he checked the backpacks. "How come none of the bullets are missing?"

"We didn't need them" Goku answered, while Trunks and Goten looked panicked.

They had totally forgotten that normal people most probably "hunted" with bullets and used guns for their protection, while they didn't need anything, not even a knife. Ok, the knife come in handy to cut up their meals, but that's an another thing.

"What?" Miller asked taken aback.

"You see we don't eat much meat" Trunks tried to explain. "We just rather gathered fruits and vegetables."

"We did?" Goku asked not really understanding why Trunks was stating something which was obviously a lie.

"Yes" Goten nodded, while he kicked his father's ankle, indicating to shut up.

Miller was fanatically thinking. They must have cheated somehow, but without any proof he just couldn't punish them. Now he become more determined than ever to break every single one of them. As the rest of the team arrived back Gohan, Goten and Trunks realised even better, why Sergeant Miller was looking at them so strangely. Some soldiers were injured, many had torn clothes and every single one of them looked exhausted. At night when they had the usual drill, when everybody had 2 minutes to dress and be at the centre of the barracks, half of the soldiers failed to make it and some of them actually slept through it even though the sirens were extremely loud. Miller decided not to let those guys leave for the weekend so this time only half of the soldiers could go home. The saiyans as usual enjoyed they stay and eat a lot. When they went back they thought that only 2 more months to go and they could say their final goodbyes to the army. Goku and Vegeta continued to piss of Miller so they ended up on kitchen duty.

"Wow, you are pretty amazing" looked the chief on the amount of potatoes what the saiyans peeled off.

"It's not so hard once you get the hang up of" Goku smiled.

"Let's make a deal! If you help me with the other vegetables as well then I can give you some extra food in return. Of course it will be a secret as Miller would tear off my head if he knew."

"Ok" Goku nodded.

Vegeta wasn't so willing but as he was constantly hungry it seemed like a fair deal so he also agreed. Sometimes they got so many food that they even smuggled some out to Gohan, Goten and Trunks who eat it with gratitude. Still, there were days when they all had to fall asleep hungry as sometimes Miller decided to make Goku and Vegeta clean his building or reorganise the storage rooms. It was a gamble, but mostly they ended up in the kitchen.

"We will learn close-combat know, without weapons" Captain Smith said, who also taught them how to use weapons.

"I was so afraid of this" Goten sighed.

"Father, please try to pretend that you are human!" Trunks looked at Vegeta.

"I won't let anybody beat me!" he snapped back.

"Now who wants to volunteer?" Smith asked, while he took off his shirt, revealing his muscular chest.

As nobody quite trusted his abilities, Smith called then randomly one-by-one. Turned out, he wasn't bad for a human and he knocked off 10 soldiers before he picked Goten. Just like the soldiers before him, he was forced to remove his shirt and Smith asked when he saw his chest:

"Working out?"

"A bit" Goten answered, but before he could blink, Smith punched him in the stomach.

Of course he could have deflected it but he decided to pretend, he really didn't see it coming. Yet, he hardly felt anything, while Smith cried out in pain, grabbing his fist with his other hand. Then Goten realised he should have dodged the attack. He looked at Trunks for help, but he only shrugged, so he decided to pretend that the hit at least hurt him. He quickly put his hand on his stomach and cried out in pain. Though it was rather strange as between Smith's hit and Goten's cry at least 10 seconds passed. Smith quickly gathered himself, pretending like he was ok and he attacked again. This time Goten dodged it, mainly for the captain's own protection. When Smith was completely out of breath he took a step back and asked the soldiers to practice. Goten wanted to go back but the captain grabbed his arm and asked:

"Where did you learn to fight?"

"From my brother and father" Goten decided to tell the truth.

He glanced at their direction and almost had to laugh as Gohan and Goku was trying to fight at a human speed. Even with the gravity belt on, they were much quicker and stronger so they had to concentrate hard to appear normal. Trunks and Vegeta also struggled not to reveal too much from their powers. It looked rather funny what they did, yet the captain was impressed even by that. Of course Miller was also walking by and he became almost instantly angry as he realised close-combat again wasn't something, which would break the saiyans. As time passed he become desperate and gave them extra weights to carry with them or asked them to complete some tasks twice, yet even that was not a big deal for them. When the 3 months ended Trunks couldn't decide if Miller or they were happier that the training was over and they never have to see each other.

"It wasn't so bad" Gohan said.

"I wasted all this time instead of training" Vegeta called.

"At least nobody really found out that we are not human" Trunks sighed.

"No, but they think we are pretty weird" Goten laughed.

"Good thing though, that we will never need the army when the next enemy appear" Goku smiled. "We would be dead instantly."

"Yeah, they were a great help against Cell as well" Vegeta smirked, thinking back of the pathetic human attempt to fight against him.

Bulma and Chichi were quite relieved that the saiyans managed to keep a low profile, at least as low as it was possible for them and the saiyans were happy that they can go back to their "normal" lives.

Thank you for all the reviews, favorites and follows. Also thank you for those, who just read my story but never left a review. I was once also just a silent reader until I wrote my own story and realized how good it feels to have some/any feedback about my work :D

I really think this is the end - at least for this story. I might come up with a new one, guess we will see. For those who liked this I can recommend to read my other story: Darkness cannot drive out darkness Hate cannot drive out hate - it's a Bulma&Vegeta story, including their whole relationship throughout DBZ. Also even if you read this long after I updated it, please review, I will check it!
