Usagi woke to the scent of bacon. Her eyes creeped
open and she pricked her sensitive ears so that she could
hear better. If she listened close enough, she could hear
it sizzling on the skillet. Anxious to get breakfast, Usagi
ran down the hallway, not caring that she was still wearing
Gohan's shirt.

As she entered the kitchen, she saw Chichi at the
stove. She scanned the room and noticed that Goku hadn't
arrived yet, and she *knew* Gohan and Goten were still
asleep.

Chichi turned around when she heard someone enter the
kitchen. Usagi stood in the doorway licking her lips and
Chichi knew why.

"Don't just stand there, sit down. I know you're going
to eat just as much as the boys, so I started a little
earlier than usual."

"You didn't have to."

"I'm not going to deny anyone their food, especially
if they eat like a Saiyan."

"So you do know."

"Yes, but there will be time for that latter, right
now you better eat." Chichi set a large plate of pancakes,
eggs, bacon, and sausage in front of her. She licked her
lips in anticipation and dug into her food, Saiyan style.

"Yup, you're related."

"Who's related Chichi?"

"No one."

"Oh. Okay." Goku scratched his head and sat down at
the table. "Chichi, I'm hungry," Goku whined. Chichi rolled
her eyes and Usagi giggled.

"I am too. Can I have more?" Chichi groaned and the
father/daughter duo laughed. Gohan and Goten arrived at
the table with curious gazes. They all received several
plates of breakfast and Chichi sighed in exhaustion.

"I swear, you four could out eat an army." Usagi
blushed and Goten became *really* curious.

"Why-are-you-still-wearing-Gohan's-shirt? Are-you-a
real-princess? What-didn't-Vegeta-want-you-to-blab? How-long
are-you-staying? Do-you-want-to-see-my-lizard-collection?"
Goku laughed nervously and Gohan blanched.

"Well, I just woke up and I haven't changed yet, yes,
I can't tell you because it's a secret, I don't know, and
I'd love to eventually." Goten jumped up and down in
excitement. Gohan started sputtering.

"Y-you u-understood all of that?"

"Yeah... Why?"

"Oh, no reason."

"Chichi..." Goku began to make a little puppy dog face.

"What?"

"Can I take the boys sparring with me?" Chichi began
to tap her foot angrily, but Usagi intervened before she
could yell.

"Can I come to?" All eyes turned from Chichi to Usagi
and back. Usagi winked at Chichi and she grinned.

"Sure." The three guys in the room all fell over and
the two women shared secretive glances. "Usagi, come with
me." They both exited the room and traveled down the hallway
to the master bedroom.

"I would give you one of my old training outfits, but
I don't know where they are at the moment, so I'll fix
some of Goku's clothes."

"You don't have to. I have all of my clothing packed
with me in my dimensional pockets."

"I may know that, but they don't." Chichi went over to
her closet and pulled out one of Goku's GIs. She tossed
Usagi the blue shirt to wear. It ended up being too big, but
wearable. The sleeves went to around her elbows, and she
had plenty of shirt to tuck in. By the time that Chichi had
finished altering the clothing, they had spent around an
hour pent up in the bedroom. The clothes wear baggy, but
they were comfortable. It was a good thing that they had
shrunk in the wash a little too or else she wouldn't have
been able to wear them at all. Usagi quickly wrapped her
hair up and turned to her mother.

"So... Can I go now?"

"Yes, and I think I'll go along too. I can't wait to
see their expressions when you kick their butts."

"How do you know-"

"Call it mother's intuition." Usagi shrugged it off
and went into the living room, where Goku was waiting
impatiently.

"Can we go now?" Chichi walked into the room after Usagi
and heard this remark. Goku was acting just like a little kid.

"Yes *we* can go now, but you have to carry me."

"You're coming too?" Chichi cocked an eyebrow at her
husband and started to tap her foot.

"The first privilege to go will be your food, then-"

"Okay, I'll carry you," Goku rushed. Chichi smiled; she
had won that argument easily.

The family of five walked out of the house and into
the grassy clearing. Goku picked up his wife and carried
her princess style as her floated upward. Gohan turned to Usagi.

"Do you want me to carry you?"

"No, I can fly."

"Are you sure you can keep up?" She crossed her arms
across her chest and glared at Gohan. He started to wave
his arms around furiously.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you. Boy, you
remind me of mom when you do that. That's scary." She glared
even harder and Gohan gave up trying to make excuses.

Usagi pushed off of the ground and waited for her to
brothers to join them. Gohan and Goten floated upward and
by the time they had arrived, they were all side by side.

"Here we go." They all took of flying towards their
destination away from the house. At first Gohan was worried
that Usagi wouldn't be able to keep up, but to his amazement,
she kept up easily. They landed after about ten minutes of
flying, in a clearing. There, Vegeta was waiting impatiently.

"What took you so long Kakkorot? Were you being punished
by your puny wife?" Usagi started to boil and Vegeta quickly
shut up before either of the women chewed him out. He may not
have been afraid of either of them, but they could sure hurt
his ears.

Usagi looked around the field and noticed that Krillin,
Yamcha, Piccolo, and Trunks were also there. Vegeta had told
her that there were more fighters, but they didn't always
show up. (AN: I wonder why...)

Usagi quickly did some stretches and turned to Vegeta.
She grinned as he rolled his eyes upward.

"So, you know the question already."

"Why wouldn't I? Why don't you fight the weaklings
first?"

"Because."

"Go fight Krillin, Yamcha, or Piccolo."

"Okay, I'll just tell them about that dream you had-"

"Fine," He grumbled. "You're a brat. A conniving,
mischievous, brat."

"Why, thank you." By now Yamcha had decided to say
something.

"I don't think you should fight him."

"Yamcha, shut up."

"But Piccolo-"

"You don't know what you're saying." Usagi walked over
to Chichi to ask her something. She tugged on her left hand
and pulled off a small ring that she handed to her.

"Could you hold this for me? I forgot to take it off
and I don't want to ruin it." Chichi admired the small ring
that she had been handed and voiced her thoughts.

"What a beautiful ring." It had a small crescent shaped
moon diamond in the center of several tiny rubies in the
shape of a rose.

"I know." Usagi grinned because of the secret meaning
of that particular ring. ;)

Everyone cleared the field and decided to wait on the
sidelines. They all wanted to know why Vegeta was taking this
so seriously. She was just a girl, right?

Goku narrowed his eyes as Usagi lowered herself into a
fighting stance. There was something about her...

Usagi and Vegeta both took their stances. Usagi nodded
her head and Vegeta took to the offense. He came flying at
her in a speed that only the greatest of fighters could
catch. A punch was thrown at her head and she moved causing
his fist to hit air. It went on like this for several
minutes, he would try to kick or hit her, and she would
either dodge or block. Then she finally charged at him.
Usagi landed a punch on his jaw and he went flying backwards.

"Enough games, lets crank this up a notch."

"Vegeta no!"

"Don't interfere Krillin."

"Why not Goku?"

"Vegeta knows more about her then we do. Plus, there
is something about her." Goku focused his attention once
more on the battle in front of him as Vegeta turned Super
Saiyan.

Usagi grinned and floated back onto the ground. She bit
her lip and frowned in concentration. She raised her ki as
high as she could and pushed it further causing her to start
glowing silver. Her nails dug into the palms of her hands
as she felt the pure rush of energy begin. She screamed out
as thousands of needles pricked her veins. She had only
achieved this powerful level recently, so it still caused
pain to transform. Only those who had gone through it before
knew that it could be painful the first few times.

Usagi spread her feet in the dirt, bracing herself for
the final rush of power. It came in an enormous tidal wave
that caused her hair to bristle and turn silver as her
muscles strengthened.

"No way..." Krillin stood mouth agape. Yamcha fell
on his rear as shock overcame him.

"Gohan, is she a Super Saiyan?" Goten tugged on
Gohan's pants until he gave an answer. Gohan himself was
in shock, so it was a few minutes before he answered.

"I don't know Goten. There aren't supposed to be any
more Saiyans left that we don't know about. Plus, she has
silver hair." Goku nodded in agreement as he kept his eyes
on the young woman. Rocks that had been floating around her
fell to the ground as she got her enormous power under control.

Usagi once again turned her attention back to Vegeta as
she raced toward him. Their fists connected and the
challenge was on. She brought her knee up to his stomach,
and he hit her in the face.

"That was for earlier."

"You're a sore loser." Usagi punctuated her sentence
with a kick that Vegeta intercepted with his arm. They broke
apart and studied each other for several minutes until
Usagi had an idea. She crouched mid-air and cupped her hands
together as she summoned her ki.

"MOON KA-" Vegeta's eyes widened as he braced himself
for the on coming attack.

"ME-HA-ME-HAAAA!" A blast of silver energy shot out
from her cupped hands as she pushed them forward. Vegeta
raised his arms over his face as the blast hit him dead on.
The smoke cleared to show that his arms were smoking. Vegeta
glared at Usagi and came strait for her.

"MOVE USAKO!" Usagi turned her head in search of her
caller, but Vegeta's fist connected with her face first.
Pain throbbed throughout her face as she plummeted to the
ground, her world turning dark.
