Chapter Three: So Much For Pedigree
Kalin paced nervously across the kitchen floor. As Aerin had told her, the Z-Senshi were only a couple minutes away. She didn't know how they were going to handle this, she thought they would have more time than this. More time to re-train Aerin, more time to plan and think things through.
"But that's life.." she reminded herself.
Aerin came dashing down the stairs a minute later, clad in khaki pants and a white top, her hair (which she had grown long again.) was un-bound and swishing behind her. Quickly she rushed around the kitchen, putting up things, clearing off the counter and stove. Pulling the broom from the closet, she went over the floor in a few sweeps and disposed of the dirt in the trashcan.
"Aerin, calm down, they will be here in a few minuets. It's not like the Terran High Council is coming over for lunch, it's just your friends." Kalin reminded her.
"Yeah, my friends, my family, my daughter-in-law, my granddaughter, the Namek, and Vegeta. I'm not giving him anything to pester me about." she said firmly.
Kalin didn't bother to go any further, Aerin was too much like her mother, stubborn. Instead, she got up and put the kettle back on to make more tea. She refilled the sugar bowl and cream pitcher, placed them on the table and produced teabags from the cabinet. Aerin shot her a look of gratitude. As the water began to steam, a knock came from the door.
"They're heeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeee..." Kalin sang out, like the girl from the E.T movie. Giving herself one final check over, Aerin took in a deep breath, plastered a smile on her face and went to the door.
"Surprize Mom!! We're paying a visit!" her youngest Goten cheered from behind the crowd. In her front yard, the entire Z-Senshi stood. Videl, Bulma, 18, Gohan, and Krillin were hefting large bags and baskets of food. Meanwhile Goten held several blankets and sheets in both arms. Vegeta and Piccolo were hanging in the back, behind Goten. They obviously didn't want to be there.
"Grandma!!" Pan shouted before she ran into her grandmother's embrace.
"Hello sweetie, hows my little Super Saiyan??" she greeted her grandchild.
Pan giggled and hugged her grandma tighter. "I'm fine grandma!! We came to surprize you today with a picnic!!"
"So I see..." she looked out on the faces of all her friends and family. Her eyes fell on her two sons, they both looked like their father in so many ways.......
Get him out of your head!! Goku is dead!! For the third, and final time! she shouted to herself. Sighing, she motioned for everyone to come inside, "Well, why don't you all come inside and out down those bags?" she said cheerily, opening the door to let them in.
Gohan was the first inside, he stepped into the kitchen to find a woman sitting at the table, sipping a cup of tea. "Uh, hello. Who are you?"
The woman stood up, she was taller than she seemed. Brushing aside a stand of hair, she put out her hand, "My name is Kalin, I'm a......friend of your mother's."
Gohan nodded, "Oh, hi Kalin. I'm Gohan, I'm Chi-chi's eldest son." he tried to shake her hand while still holding the bags. Kalin walked up and relieved him of some of his load, "Here, let me help you with that." she offered.
By this time everyone had crammed themselves into the kitchen. Goten spotted Kalin helping Gohan with his bags, and went over. "Hi, I'm Goten! Who are you?" Gohan looked shocked, "Goten!!" he muttered under his breath, "You don't just walk up to someone and say that!!"
Goten blushed, and gave the famous Son smile, "Oh, sorry ma'am. I didn't mean to be rude.." The woman smiled back, "It's alright, my name is Kalin." By that time Chi-chi (or Aerin, take your pick.) had come in too. "Oh, everyone?? This is a friend of mine, Kalin, meet my friends. Everyone meet Kalin" she introduced.
Everyone took turns introducing themselves, all except Piccolo and Vegeta. "Those two in the corner are Piccolo and Vegeta, neither one of them are very social." Bulma explained. Kalin nodded, "It's okay, I understand. So whats with all this food?"
Goten shot up, "We're having a picnic!! Wanna come?" Kalin smilled at his childish glee, "Oh, I'd love to come, but do you have enough food?" Videl hoisted up the bags she carried, "Don't worry, we have enough food to feed six sai...." she halted. She almost said "Saiyan" infront of Kalin. "We have enough to feed a couple of armies." she restated.
"Okay," Chi-chi (Aerin) cried, why don't we get this party started?? Lets get going." she cried. She picked up a couple of bags and a few towels, and walked out the door. The remaining Z-Senshi just stared at the spot where she had just been standing in. "Is it just me, or is your mom acting really strange?" Krillin asked. Nobody bothered to answer him, they were just as confused. Shrugging, Gohan picked up some bags and followed.
Most of them followed suit, picking up bags or towels on their way out. Kalin was the last out, before picking up her load, she gave a small prayer, "Lord and Lady, please get me through this day alive....."
Aerin kept walking after she saw Gohan and the rest following her. She wanted to put as much space between her house and the picnic grounds. If it came down to spell-casting, she wanted to reduce the chance of damage to her home. She finally stopped in the middle of a forest-edged clearing. It had plenty of shade and enough room to house them all for the day. She spread out her towels and was un-packing the food when Gohan caught up with her. He walked up beside her and sat down on his own blanket. Time streched out for a painfully long while before he spoke up.
"Mom, I'm real sorry."
Aerin's head snapped up. "What are you talking about?"
"I'm sorry, for not visiting more often, for not remembering Mother's Day, your birthday................for letting Dad die." he halted, to choked up to go on. Instead, he let a single tear slip down his cheek. He was surprized when he felt his mother's hand wipe away the tear, like she did so many years before.
"It's okay, I'm not blameing you for your dad's death, Goku knew what he had to do, and did it. As for all those other things.......I can let by-gones be by-gones." she leaned over and embraced her son.
"Thanks mom."
"Don't mention it."
The morning flowed to midday, midday bled to afternoon, and afternoon to twilight. The entire day had been a great one, the Z-Senshi spent the entire day reminising, talking, gossiping and laughing. Well, it would have been perfect if Vegeta hadn't been a literal jackass.
All day he sulked and stormed. He hogged the food, knocked Gohan down for no reason, had gone through exactly seven yelling matches with Bulma, and for some reason was enjoying pestering Kalin. Right now he was sitting by the bonfire, arms crossed and an infamous scowl on his face.
Aerin and Kalin had quietly slipped away into the forest for a moment to talk.
"We should do it now, while we're away from my house."
Kalin chuckled, "I agree, I will enjoy shocking that arrogant prince."
"I'm more worried about Gohan and Goten. They might not like the idea of them being half Saiyan, half Witch."
"They'll be fine, they're strong, they can adapt. In fact I think Goten might think it's cool."
"I wouldn't be too surprized. But Kalin, I have to say something....."
"What?"
"Goku knows."
This time it was much different. "WHAT!?!?!"
Aerin winched. "It was an accident, I swear by the moon. One day I was out practicing, I had let down my disguise, when Goku walked around the house and saw me. He had come on early because he was hungry." she paused, remembering. "We had a long talk, about everything. I told what I was and why I never told him. He said he understood, but wished I could help fight once and a while. I made him promise to never tell a soul, not even Gohan, and later Goten. He kept his promise."
Kalin sighed, "Oh well, thats in the past, we have nothing to worry about I guess." She never mentioned the fact that the secret was safe because Goku was dead. "Anyway, it won't matter for long, will it?"
Aerin shook her head, "No, not for very long....." Bareing her battle face, she and Kalin returned to the clearing where everyone was sitting around the fire. Each took a seat beside each other and waited for the conversation to open up.
Gohan looked at his mom strange, she had acted weird all day, and she stayed very near that Kalin woman. It wasn't that he didn't like Kalin, in fact he was glad his mom was making new friends, but there was something about that woman........
He broke off from that train of thought. switching his attention back to his mom, she looked neverous, even scared. "Mom, is something wrong?"
Aerin nearly jumped out of the skin when Gohan asked her what was wrong. Trying to settle the butterflies in her stomach, she smiled at him. "Why do you ask?"
"It's just that your acting, well, odd." he replied.
The butterflies were now Boeing 747's jumbo jets.
"Well, I'm glad you spoke up, I have something I want to tell you all..." in the corner of her petrified, jittering mind, she noticed Kalin's hand squeeze hers, giving her courage. "What I want to tell you is that I'm a ..............I'm a witch!!!"
Seconds of strained silence passed for a moment, Aerin felt a great pressure had been taken off her shoulders. But, to everyones surprize, Vegeta burst out laughing.
"Hahahahah.......woman, you should have been a comedian!! You never spoke a truer (sp?) word. HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!" he kept laughing to the point tears streamed down his cheeks. As he kept laughing, Aerin's face went from salt-white to arrest-me red, Kalin's along with her.
"SHUT UP VEGETA!!!!!!!" they both cried at the same moment. Kalin hopped up and stompped over the the saiyan prince, who was on the ground laughing. His laughter ended when she grabbed his collar and shoved her face into his.
"Listen," she hissed, her voice seething with rage. "How DARE you laugh at Aerin?!?! How dare you laugh at the Granddaughter of the High Priestess Selene her-self?!? How DARE you insult one of the members of the High Heavens Clan?!?! You have a lot of nerve!!!!!!" she cried tossing him back on the ground.
At first, Vegeta was to shocked to move, her tantrum was so sudden and fierce it tool him off gaurd. Now that he regained his senses, he stood up, walked up to her, got in the face and looked up into her eyes. (Kalin is much taller that him, by a full 2 1/2 ft.) "Woman, how dare you talk back to the prince of all Saiyans like that?!! I should blast you into the afterlife for your insult!!!" He didn't even bother to not use the word 'Saiyan'
Kalin was not impressed, she put her hands on her hips and shouted right back at him, "And how would you like to spend the rest of your life as a nice.....white........fluffy.......BUNNY RABBIT!!!" her voice rising an octave with each word.
Gohan, Goten, and Trunks saw it as the right time to pull the two apart before Vegeta killed her, or if Kalin was telling the truth Trunks had a rabbit as a father. After each had settled down, Gohan turned to his mother, "Mom, is this true? Are you a witch??"
Aerin shifted, "Yes, I am a witch, a full blooded witch. Which means that you and Goten are half Saiyan, half Witch." She looked down, "I guess it's better to tell you the whole story. Now don't anyone interupt me, because this is important." So that's how the next two hours passed, when Aerin wasn't able to tell the story, Kalin took over. When the whole story was finished, everyone had a subdued look about them.
"Wow mom, why didn't you ever tell us?" Goten asked. He was still living through the shock that comes when one is told they are part witch.
"Well, Kalin is better able to explain that..." instantly the gaze shifted to her.
"It has to do with an ancient prophecy that's over 8,000 years old. It says that the Earth shall go through a number of tests brought on by several powerful monsters, each more powerful and terrible than the last. If the planet survives each monster than it will keep the right to exsist and support life. But, the prophecy speaks of one final test, where the greatest challenge of all shall face the planet."
Then the greatest of the dark shall rise,
To meet the planets periled eyes.

"Also in the last part, it speaks of the betrayal of the Earth by one of it's own. This parts still a little fuzzy. As for the poem, it maybe speaking of eight people or one, none are sure. An interesting tidbit is the last eight verses seem to deal with the eight magickal clans.
"Magickal Clans??" Bulma asked.
"Yes, eight clans, each repersenting an element. Galeforce is the wind clan, Wildflame is the Fire Clan, Desertrock is the Earth Clan, Torrent is the Water Clan, Greystorm is the Thunder Clan, Darksight is the Shadow Clan, Grandia is the Holy Clan, and the High Heavens, thats us, is the Star Clan. Got it now?"
Several heads nodded, all except Vegeta's. "I think your making this all up. What a pathetic story, Kakorott was a better liar than..........wha?" His speach was stopped short by what was happening beside Kalin.
Aerin, having had enough of Vegeta's mouth, had decided it was time to drop the deguise. Slowly her hair began to lighten, from black to grey, grey to white, white to silver. Meanwhile, her eyes started to swim and swirl with pale shades of yellow, softly changing to their deep, dark gold. Not only that, her face began to shift. Her chin wasn't so pointed anymore, her tight drawn lips filled out and softened, her features became more round and femine.
Running her hand through her silver locks, she smiled, "Well Vegeta, are we still making this stuff up? Are we still liars?"
Vegeta's mouth just hung there, open but not saying anything. It seemed that for once in his life, the arrogant Saiyan was in fact, speachless. Gohan felt his mouth run dry, his mom was.......gorgeous!! If this is real, and what she's saying is true, then that means that..........
WHUMP!! THUMP!!
Gohan and Goten had fainted.
"Urgg, wha happened?" asked Goten, after he found himself in his old bed, still at his mom's house. Sitting up, he rubbed the knot on the back of his head. "Man, last night was wierd. I dreamed mom was a witch..I need to lay off the midnight chili-ham-and cheese sandwitches."
"Your not dreaming." a voice called from the doorway. Looking up, he saw Bra standing in the door way her hair and make-up perfect, but her purple dress was wrinked from sleeping in it.
"Great, so Mom is a witch, and I'm a half-Witch too for that matter. Great, this is all I need." he sighed. "By the way, why are you still here?"
Bra cracked a half smile. "You missed the fun, after you and your brother passed out, Kalin and my father went at it again." Her smile spread out to a full grin. "This time, Kalin made good on her threat."
"What threat?" Goten asked naively.
Bra laughed, "She turned him into a rabbit."
"She what!! Please say you got a picture!!"
"We got a picture, and a video of it as well." she grinned devilishly.
Goten brust out laughing, "Oh man!! when can I see it?"
"Later, now your mother is asking for a meeting, she wants you and Gohan to be there especially. Said something about options or whatever."
"Alright, I'll be there in ten minuets."
Bra turned on her heel and walked out, closing the door behind her. Goten leaned over, putting his elbows on his knees, then his head in his hands. "What have I gotten myself into?"
Ok, so I said Gohan and Goten would try magick in this chapter, but I ran out of room and time. I can assure you that will be in chapter four.
Thankies to all the sweet people who reveiwed, I love you guys!! But I would like to know the three people who put this story under the faves list and the two who put me on their fav aurthors list, I want to thank you!!
Please pardon my lame, pathetic excuse for poetry. I'm not good at stuff like that. ** Takes swig of cherry mountain dew** Met my source of energy for the past three days, since my mom broke her leg, we haven't been able to have decent food for a while. Why don't I cook? Well, I cook as about as well as Goku! ^_^:

Chapter Three: So Much For Pedigree
Kalin paced nervously across the kitchen floor. As Aerin had told her, the Z-Senshi were only a couple minutes away. She didn't know how they were going to handle this, she thought they would have more time than this. More time to re-train Aerin, more time to plan and think things through.
"But that's life.." she reminded herself.
Aerin came dashing down the stairs a minute later, clad in khaki pants and a white top, her hair (which she had grown long again.) was un-bound and swishing behind her. Quickly she rushed around the kitchen, putting up things, clearing off the counter and stove. Pulling the broom from the closet, she went over the floor in a few sweeps and disposed of the dirt in the trashcan.
"Aerin, calm down, they will be here in a few minuets. It's not like the Terran High Council is coming over for lunch, it's just your friends." Kalin reminded her.
"Yeah, my friends, my family, my daughter-in-law, my granddaughter, the Namek, and Vegeta. I'm not giving him anything to pester me about." she said firmly.
Kalin didn't bother to go any further, Aerin was too much like her mother, stubborn. Instead, she got up and put the kettle back on to make more tea. She refilled the sugar bowl and cream pitcher, placed them on the table and produced teabags from the cabinet. Aerin shot her a look of gratitude. As the water began to steam, a knock came from the door.
"They're heeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeee..." Kalin sang out, like the girl from the E.T movie. Giving herself one final check over, Aerin took in a deep breath, plastered a smile on her face and went to the door.

Seconds of strained silence passed for a moment, Aerin felt a great pressure had been taken off her shoulders. But, to everyones surprize, Vegeta burst out laughing.
"Hahahahah.......woman, you should have been a comedian!! You never spoke a truer (sp?) word. HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!" he kept laughing to the point tears streamed down his cheeks. As he kept laughing, Aerin's face went from salt-white to arrest-me red, Kalin's along with her.

"Magickal Clans??" Bulma asked.
"Yes, eight clans, each repersenting an element.

"Urgg, wha happened?" asked Goten, after he found himself in his old bed, still at his mom's house. Sitting up, he rubbed the knot on the back of his head. "Man, last night was wierd. I dreamed mom was a witch..I need to lay off the midnight chili-ham-and cheese sandwitches."
"Your not dreaming." a voice called from the doorway. Looking up, he saw Bra standing in the door way her hair and make-up perfect, but her purple dress was wrinked from sleeping in it.
"Great, so Mom is a witch, and I'm a half-Witch too for that matter. Great, this is all I need." he sighed. "By the way, why are you still here?"
Bra cracked a half smile. "You missed the fun, after you and your brother passed out, Kalin and my father went at it again." Her smile spread out to a full grin. "This time, Kalin made good on her threat."
"What threat?" Goten asked naively.
Bra laughed, "She turned him into a rabbit."
"She what!! Please say you got a picture!!"
"We got a picture, and a video of it as well." she grinned devilishly.
Goten brust out laughing, "Oh man!! when can I see it?"
"Later, now your mother is asking for a meeting, she wants you and Gohan to be there especially. Said something about options or whatever."
"Alright, I'll be there in ten minuets."
Bra turned on her heel and walked out, closing the door behind her. Goten leaned over, putting his elbows on his knees, then his head in his hands. "What have I gotten myself into?"
Ok, so I said Gohan and Goten would try magick in this chapter, but I ran out of room and time. I can assure you that will be in chapter four.

Please pardon my lame, pathetic excuse for poetry. I'm not good at stuff like that. ** Takes swig of cherry mountain dew** Met my source of energy for the past three days, since my mom broke her leg, we haven't been able to have decent food for a while. Why don't I cook? Well, I cook as about as well as Goku! ^_^:
