Gohan could barely enjoy the Christmas party. The feeling of suspicion and dread was horrible. He asked Bulma if Goten could spend the night, and then he went home. He wanted to be alone. He felt bad for what he was doing, but he also felt like it had to be done. He fished through his pockets for his key, and unlocked the door. Is wasn't working. It sometimes didn't.

"Damn key!" he cursed. He broked through the window, and unlocked the door. He ran into his Mom's room, and threw open the door to the closet. He knew right where the chest was. His Mom had got s-o-o-o-o mad at him when he was 9. He had been searching through the attic, and had come across a diary. he had read two sentences when his Mom found him and began screaming. But now he had to read it. He opened the musty chest, and it lay on top. He picked it up, opened to the middle, and started to read.

Dear Diary,

Chi here. Today I went shopping in the city. With about 50 guards surrounding me! They treat me like I can't defend myself, just because I'm an Earthling. I'm an okay fighter, I think. But I had a pretty good time. I found a wonderful blue dress. Its hard to find good clothes on this planet.

Anyway, afterward I had dinner with V-kun. We ate...alone. It was fabulous. The dinner I mean. He was more than fabulous. He was...gorgeous, wonderful, fantastic, terrific, great, sweet...perfect... But he doesn't think of me that way. I'm just his best friend, ChiChi-chan. He has a billion princesses he can choose from. He can have anyone- so why would he want me?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

ChiChi was shocked, and hurt. Not only was her nose broken; her heart was too. She started to cry. "Neko...you don't love us?"

Neko made a face. "Love you? I hate you. You are the most insensitive, despicable-"

Vegeta slapped her.

"You are a wretched, horrible, spoiled brat. I am not proud to call you my daughter. We sacrificed you to give you a better life, and have missed you every single day."

Neko stared at him. Suddenly tears started to fall down her cheeks. "I-I'm sorry, Papa. I just have all this anger built up inside me- that's what my psychiatrist says- and I just kind of freaked. Mama, I'm sorry I broke your nose. Kind of an instant reaction, you know? Willow-Willow can fix it. I-I-I love you!" She through her arms around ChiChi. "I love you, Mama."

ChiChi smiled. "I love you, Neko."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Gohan didn't read anymore. Truthfully, he didn't want to know. For the next few days, he and Goten lived alone, quietly. They didn't talk about their Mom. Then one day, while Gohan was making lunch and Goten was watching TV, the doorbell rang.

"Mommy!!!!!!" Goten sqealed, "Its Mommy, it has to be! She's finally home!" He ran to the door and threw it open. "Mo- oh. Hi Videl."

Videl laughed, and ruffled his hair. "Happy to see you, too, squirt." She went into the kitchen. "Gohan!" she said, "Cooking?"

Gohan nodded. "Yes."

Videl ran her fingers through his hair. "What's the matter, Gohan?"

Gohan turned to her, and looked into her eyes. "3 days ago, Mom left, and hasn't been back."

Videl gasped. "Wha-Gohan, oh my God. I'm sorry." She wrapped her arms around him, and hugged him. "I'm sorry. I'm sure she'll come back. I'm sure."

Gohan nodded. "Yeah, but it won't be the same when she's back. We'll always be wondering where she was, why she left us? On Christmas." He pulled Videl closer, and kissed her.

"Gohan and Videl, kissing in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

"Goten!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"So you're taking me with you to Earth? That's great!" Neko stood in her room, folding countless clothes and placing them in her suitcase. "What's it like? Earth?"

"Well..." ChiChi said, "Much like Turriteri. Not as nice at some times. I have anice house in the woods, near a pretty like, and your father lives in a giant mansion called Capsule Corp-"

"Uou don't live together?"

ChIChi froze. "Neko, we should really talk about that. I arrived on Earth years before your father. I thought he was dead. I met someone else, got married, and had a family. The Vegeta arrived. I was broken-hearted. So was he. I told him to find someone else. He did. He has a son. I have two sons. Then we fell in love again...Neko, its very complicated."

Neko hugged her, "You'll get through it. I...I've been through rough relationship troubles, too."

ChiChi raised an eyebrow. "What's this?"

Neko sighed. "See, ever since I was real little I knew this boy named Terran. We grew up together, and were best friends. Over the years, I grew closer and closer to him. At 16 I realized I loved him. At 18 we were engaged. At 19 he died. Its only been a year, and I haven't gotten over it."

ChiChi hugged her. "I love you, Neko."

"I love you, Mom."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

K-chan: I should make them longer. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Oh well, next chap ChIChi, Vegeta,and Neko arrive on Earth. How will everyone react when the secret comes out?
