Okay, some people are confused by me saying that Chiyu was 'older than she appears'. Just to clear the air, I meant that she was about as tall as Videl, and was more developed than other girls in the class. Meaning her chest was bigger than most girls' at sixteen. Or, even as adults.

Enough with my rambling, on with the show!

*-Son Residence: 7:15 p.m.-*

Goku sat on the floor with Gota and Caden playing Barbie's when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Coming!"

Goku set the dolls down in front of the girls and answered the door.

"Hey, guys! Come in!"

They walked in and sat on the couch.

"What was the plan again?" Gohan asked.

Chiyu sighed.

"We're going to eat, wait a few minutes for our stomachs to settle, then we'll go back and tell them we went exploring around Capsule Corp. and lost track of time."

Goku sat next to her and placed Gochi in his lap as he listened intently.

'Sure, she never tried to pay any attention to Chichi's studies, but now I know that she must've listened in on only the stuff she found interesting. Clever girl.'

"Why do we have to wait for our stomachs to settle?"

"Are you kidding?"

"Just seeing if you knew why."

"Oh, so you know the answer?"

"Yeah."

"Then tell me why!"

'Here we go again.' Goku thought

"So we don't puke our guts out?"

"Was that a question?"

"Was that?"

"I…"

She slapped her forehead.

"What?" Gohan cluelessly asked.

"You're more of an idiot than what meets the eye."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"My point exactly."

Goku stood up and placed Gochi with Caden and Gota as they played on the floor. He pulled the two away from each other and sat them on the opposite sides of the couch.

"That's enough you two. If you guys don't stop, your mother won't be very happy when she gets back."

Chiyu's head popped up as Goku sat in between them.

"Where'd Mom go?"

"She went to the store a little before you guys got here."

They nodded and looked at the littles as they played amongst themselves.

"Daddy! Bubba! Sis! Come play with us!"

They seen Caden smiling with more Barbie dolls in hand. Gohan got nervous as Goku and Chiyu happily got up and sat with them.

"Are you gonna play, Bubba?"

"I think I'm gonna see what Goten and Goshen are doing, okay?"

"Okay!" Caden said cheerfully.

"Yeah, we have Daddy and Sis playing with us, so you can play with them!" Gota spoke.

"Okay. I'll see you guys in a little bit."

"Bye, Bubba!" The three youngest girls chorused.

*-20 minutes later; 7:38 p.m.-*

Chiyu sat on the floor with Caden standing on a stepstool doing her hair and Gochi sitting in her lap.

"Are you almost done up there, munchkin?"

"Not yet. I still need something. Do you think Mommy will let you have color in your hair?"

"Why?" "You would look cute with rainbow hair!"

"I don't think she'll let me." Chiyu assumed for her.

"Darn! What about pink?"

"Anything but that."

"Why?"

"I don't like pink."

"You must be sick, then. Everyone likes pink!"

"Not exactly, but alright."

"Then what color do you like?"

"I like orange."

"Well, maybe you could have orange hair!"

"Well, that's the thing. I don't want orange hair. I like my hair how it is!"

Caden pouted and looked over to where Gota was doing Goku's hair.

"Wait, I know!" Caden shouted as her face brightened.

"What?"

She took all of the fixings out of Chiyu's hair.

"Turn Super Saiyan!"

"Why?"

"So you can have blonde hair!"

Chiyu chuckled and did as she was told.

"Better?"

"Yeah! Thanks, Sis!"

"No problem, munchkin."

Then there was a knock. Goten flew (Literally) down the stairs and opened the door before Chiyu or Goku could get up.

"Welcome home, Mama!"

She set the groceries down in the kitchen and hugged him.

"Thank you, hon. Come help me with the rest, alright?"

"Okay!"

They walked outside; not noticing Goku or Chiyu's suffering.

"Are you almost done?" Chiyu whined.

"Almost!"

She sighed and secretly, in her thoughts, vowed to never succumb to Caden's cuteness overload when she asked to do hair.

"And… Done!"

She hopped down from the stepstool and they waited for Gota to finish.

"Okay, Daddy! I'm done!"

He smiled and stood up as Goten and Chichi walked in and set the groceries down. Caden and Gota ran and hugged their Mother's legs.

"Welcome home, Mommy!" They yelled in unison.

"Hi, babies! Where's your fa-… Nevermind."

She clasped a hand over her mouth as she stared at her husband and middle daughter all 'dolled' up.

"Oh my, how… pretty."

Goku awkwardly smiled and blushed and Chiyu blushed and scratched the back of her neck. She had too much pride in herself to smile and laugh it off, but she didn't have so much like Vegeta to just take it all out and walk away. So, she stood there and took it like a real trooper. Caden and Gota stood by their individual creation; Caden visually brimming with pride as she asked.

"Did we do good, Mommy?"

"Yes, you did great."

She answered; hand still over her mouth.

"Good," Gota said. "Because next is the makeup!"

Both pairs of eyes widened. Chichi decided to help them out, but just this once.

"Maybe you should do it next time. I need Daddy to help me make dinner, now and Chiyu to get Gochi fed and ready for bed."

"Aww, okay. Hey, Caden, wanna go play?"

"Okay! Let's go!"

They ran upstairs and Goku took his accessories out.

"Are you gonna leave yours in, Chiyu?"

"No, I'm gonna wait and get to your room to take them out. That way I can say Gochi pulled out a ponytail, so I had to take the rest out."

Chichi smiled.

"Atta girl. You do pay attention to your studies, huh?"

"Only the subjects I'm interested in."

They all laughed and dispersed to their 'job sites'

Just wait... This chapter didn't have much action, but... Nah, you'll see! I'm also a beta reader now, so I can help you at any time! R&R!
