STANDARD DISCLAIMERS APPLY

Goku just stared in bewilderment at the place. It was enormous, covering FOUR acres of land, the massive ashen building was shimmering in a warm, inviting, golden color.

Vegeta glared at him cruelly If that idiot is amazed at how this place looks from the outside, wait till he gets inside...

"Hey 3rd class, stay here and DON'T move till I come back for you!"

"Yeah sure.." the other Saiya-jin absently replied but quickly snapped out of his trance when he heard the sliding doors shut as the prince entered the mysterious place.

Goku was now all by himself, standing tall with a giant smile on his tanned face. So this is how the city looks like!? Wow! I've never been here before!

The giant clock tower boomed loudly indicating it was six in the evening. Shops began to light up almost simultaneously; the number of children outside decreased while more the amount of adults skyrocketed.

It's night already...time sure flew by. His smile began to fade into one of anxiety. Oh kami! I REALLY gotta go to the bathroom! What am I suppose to do now!? Vegeta said to stay put but I CAN'T hold it. He'd understand. Now where to go...

His black eyes began to roam the land but stopped when he noticed a small shop in the corner of the store. That will have to do I guess. With that thought he rapidly ran inside.

-~-~-~--~-~

The prince calmly sauntered inside the massive building and began to look around. The air was scented with wondrous flavors of meals. Music filled the air and a few customers began to dance. There were hundreds of chefs, grilling, slicing, baking things while other employees were taking orders. Business was busy as usual.

Where is that idiot, Mickal! Vegeta pondered but quickly spun around when he felt something tapping his shoulder.

"Glad you have returned Prince Vegeta. Will you be having the usual today sir?" A tall, lilac haired waiter asked calmly.

The Saiya-jin smirked, "Not today, I have things planned." He swiftly jumped on a steel table and spoke loudly once more, "Listen up you weaklings, ALL of you are going to do as I say!"

The music abruptly stopped while everyone was listening intently on the Prince's words as he explained his devious plan.

"Now the bakayarou will be dressed in an disgusting orange gi. When I arrive here with him, that is your cue to begin. Anyone who disobeys me will perish. Any questions?"

The room was silent. "Good. I'll be back," he stated smugly as he casually strolled outside.

-~-~-~--~-~

"So where is this place they went?" Chichi curiously asked.

"It's called 'Mickal's' It is THE largest restaurant in the entire world. They have millions of cuisines. It's like food heaven. I bet Goku would love it! I took Vegeta there once so he would stop complaining about my cooking. We go there a lot now." Bulma replied while still keeping her eyes on the road.

"WHAT!? That ape took my husband there!? He is probably killing him!? Food is Goku's weakness. Your husband is EVIL! I don't know why you put up with him. HOW in the world did you end up falling in love with that jerk and have Trunks!?" the raven haired woman yelled.

Bulma began to laugh. If she only knew, "I'll tell you about that another day Chi. It's a LONG story."

Trunks snapped out of his daydream when he heard his name, "Hey mom. Where did I come from? Goten said the stork came and dropped me down. I say the mailman delivered me. Which one of us is right?"

"I saw it on the TV! It was a cartoon where a bird dropped a baby to their parents. That's what happens right mom?" Goten innocently asked.

Both Chichi and Bulma glanced at each other in shock.

How did we get on this topic!? I better change the subject. "Hey look, there's a police car behind us," the blue haired woman stated while pointing to the back of the car.

The two Saiya-jin boys turned around and began to look.

"I don't see any police cars mom!" Trunks yelled.

"It's there sweetie. Just keeping looking." Phew! At least they stopped asking questions. We are almost there.

"Hey Goten, do you see anything?" the lavender haired boy asked.

"Nope, maybe we should try looking harder."

The other boy shrugged, "I guess so. I really wanna see a police car!"

-~-~-~--~-~

Goku ran inside the small shop. "Excuse me but where is the restroom!? I REALLY got to go! It's an emergency!"

The green haired female sitting behind a service desk arched an eyebrow, "It's right down the hall to your right BUT you have to buy something first in order to use it."

"BUY SOMETHING!? I DON'T have any money at all!" he was now jumping up and down on the verge of tears, "Come on Lady! I'm going to pee in my pants soon!"

"No, sorry sir. It's against store policy. Buy something FIRST then you may go," the woman said callously.

Oh Kami! I can't hold it any longer! The Saiya-jin quickly teleported himself to the bathroom.

-~-~-~--~-~

"Where did that imbecile go!?" Vegeta screamed angrily. So he thinks he can run away from what I am going to do to him. Ha! He is surely mistaken.

The prince closed his eyes and began to search around for Goku's large ki. So that's where he went.

He walked toward the store and was about to open the door when the other Saiya-jin came out grinning.

"Why the hell are you smiling Kakarot!? Damnit! I told you not to move; now follow me!"

He walked in 'Mickal's' restaurant; Goku was following behind.

-~-~-~--~-~

"Ah! Son Goku! You finally arrived. Come sit down," a waiter yelled while tugging on his shirt.

He cautiously sat down on the wood chair. All he could see was miles and miles of assorted food. This place is bliss! I should come here all the time!

"You are going to be the manager of this place sir," another person stated.

Goku's eyes widen in joy, "I am!? WOW!"

"But..."

"But? You mean there is a catch?" he asked with concern.

Vegeta was standing in the back of the room, smirking evilly with his strong arms crossed across his chest. This is going exactly as I planned. He is so predictable.

"All that you have to do Son Goku is..." he brought in a silver platter and opened up the lid to reveal a vanilla cupcake, "Eat this. Very simple."

The man shoved the plate in front of him. This is my LUCKY day! He picked up the dessert Wait what am I doing!? This could all be a set up by Vegeta! He brought me here and all but then again...this could be real! I could actually own this place and get to eat everything here as much as I want.

He stared at the cupcake, then at Vegeta, and back to the treat. I like the cupcake better than him. Here goes nothing!

Why is he staring at me for? Eat the damn thing! The prince began to scowl.

The taller Saiya-jin was about to devour the little meal but unexpectedly stopped when he felt a strong, familiar coming. Who could that be!? NO, it CAN'T be! Anyone but her!

"GOKU! Drop that cake THIS minute. You're coming home right NOW!" Chichi screamed, "And as for you monkey man! DON'T ever think of coming near him again!" She began to beat Vegeta with her almighty metal frying pan.

Blasted woman messed everything up! He was about to eat! "Kuso! Get your damn devil mate off me Kakarot!"

Goku raced over towards them and grabbed her utensil. She is really mad! Oh boy, I am in trouble now.. "Now Chichi, calm down. You are getting upset over nothing!"

"WHAT!? Upset over nothing!? You and that jerk make up a bet, steal a car, break the law, and don't even tell me where you went! I think that's enough to make anyone mad! Don't you agree!?" she was fuming with rage.

The Saiya-jin placed his hand behind his head, "Uh...I guess so."

"YOU GUESS SO!? Is that all you can say! How about an apology!?"

Bulma, Trunks, and Goten finally ran inside the building.

"Oh yeah, I'm REALLY sorry Chichi," Goku sincerely said.

-~-~-~--~-~

Hmph. Now he is apologizing, that weakling.

"Hey daddy, me and Goten saw you on the news! You are so cool!" the lavender boy said.

Vegeta smiled, "Tell me something I don't know. How the hell did you all know about the bet? "

"Forget about it. It doesn't matter now. Let's go home," Bulma replied.

"Wait! It was you two brats! I thought I had felt someone's ki this morning in the bushes. You two told! You are going to get punished for this Trunks. Now you are going to spar with me three times a week instead of one!"

"WHAT!? But dad I don't want anymore broken ribs!" the little Saiya-jin yelled in shock.

"Well you should have thought about that BEFORE you tattled. I'm leaving," the prince smugly replied.

This isn't fair! The lavender haired boy nudged on his mothers shirt, "Hey mom, can I sleep over at Goten's house for the night?"

Bulma smiled "Sure, go ahead but be back by tomorrow. Hey Goku do you all need a ride home?"

"No thanks. Chichi wants to take a taxi home. We'll see you tomorrow then."

-~-~-~--~-~

Vegeta was sitting down in the driver's sear waiting for Bulma. How long does it take that woman to get out? Shimatta! I was so close to winning the blasted bet. Well this isn't over till I say it is.

Bulma hopped inside, "Let's go home. Trunks is going to stay with Goten for the night, so it's just going to be you and me."

The prince smirked, At least one good thing came out of today. With that thought behind him, he drove home.
