Night had finally fallen across the Sons residence. All was quiet and peaceful through out the entire house, all except two Saiya-jin children. They were sitting lazily on the wooden floor playing video games.
"No! I'm going to lose!" the lavender boy shrieked.
Goten glared at him for a moment and spoke, "Geez! Can you yell any louder! You could have woken up my parents."
No way am I going to let him beat me. Time for a little distraction. "Hey look Goten! Your mom's right behind you!" Trunks yelled.
Goten spun anxiously spun around. Oh no! She's going to yell at me for staying up so late. He closed his eyes, waiting for a lecture from his mother, but surprisingly there was nothing but silence.
Meanwhile Trunks was talking advantage of the moment and finished the race, Goten is such a sucker! "I win AGAIN! In your face!" He began to laugh uncontrollably.
The black haired Saiya-jin slowly opened his eyes and looked around only to find his friend grinning at him, "Hey! You tricked me! You're such a cheater Trunks!"
"It's not my fault that you actually believed what I said," he turned around and smirked, "You should have seen the look your face! You looked so stupid!"
"You would be terrified too if you had my mom as your mom," Goten angrily yelled while sticking out his tongue, "You're acting like more like your dad everyday. It's scary."
The lavender haired boy just glared at him with confused eyes, "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Umm...it's both," his stomach began to growl, "hey let's go and eat something. Come on!" He inaudibly stalked out of the room.
"Are you sure there's enough food left in the fridge?" Trunks asked as he followed his companion down the dark hall.
"Yeah of course. My mom made too many meals today and since dad couldn't eat anything; we now have a LOT of leftovers," Goten whispered, "You have to be real quiet now; their bedroom is on the right."
Trunks silently nodded in agreement and pursued the other boy. *CRASH* The two boys stopped dead in their tracks and stared at each other.
"Did you just hear that?" Trunks quietly asked in shock.
Goten nodded with apprehension, "Maybe someone is trying to break in. Go and get my baseball bat from my room. We are going to teach this guy a lesson!"
Good thing I slept over tonight! This is going to be fun. The lavender haired boy raced inside Goten's room and rapidly grabbed the metallic object.

Vegeta was lying down in the vast, comfortable bed with his mate lovingly wrapped in his arms.
I wonder what's on his mind... the blue haired female pondered, "What's wrong Veggie?" she innocently asked.
He stared at her and gruffly replied, "Don't call me that again. It sounds weak and pathetic. Be glad I don't make you address me as 'Prince Vegeta."
"Whatever...Veggie," she whispered the last word tauntingly.
"Hmph. If you are going to call me 'Veggie' Then I will resort back to calling you 'woman' and not your real name. It's your choice." A malevolent smile spread across his lips. She hates being called that.
"Okay you win! But seriously, what were you thinking about?"
She'll keep pestering me all night if I don't tell her now. "If you must know. I was thinking about how evil Kakarot's devil mate is. She screwed up my plan!"
"Devil mate? Oh you mean Chichi! You don't want to make her mad," Bulma lightly chuckled, "At least be glad I'm not like her."
"You better not become like her! I don't know why Kakarot married the loud mouth demon! If it wasn't for her, I would have clearly won the damn bet and Kakarot would be MY slave. Having to spar with me whenever I wanted too!" His anger was increasing tremendously each minute.
He sure does hate Chichi. "Calm down Vegeta! You still have some time. Twenty four hours haven't passed so you still have a chance to win. I'll invite them over again here tomorrow ok?"
The Saiya-jin nodded in approval, Tomorrow will be the day, I will make Kakarot pay. Her next question shocked him.
"Not that I don't think you'll lose or anything BUT what happens if Goku actually wins?" Bulma curiously asked.
Why the hell does she want to know!? "If I lose, which I WON'T, Kakarot wanted me to wear a woman's dress for a day. That sicko. If that wasn't bad enough, he also wanted me to say nice things to everyone and smile all week. How degrading is that!?"
Vegeta in a dress!? Bulma almost fell of the bed from laughing so hard, "I've got the PERFECT outfit for you Vegeta! You could wear the black cocktail dress I have, those are back in fashion you know. I'll fix your hair and face. You'll look so ADORABLE!"
Vegeta's mouth dropped in astonishment, "What the hell has gotten in to you Bulma!? There's NO chance in HELL that I'm going to wear woman's clothing! I'd rather be naked than do that!"
Bulma giggled and nestled into his chest, "I was just joking but...I pay to see you in one though."
The Saiya-jin snorted in response Foolish woman. I'll deal with her and everyone tomorrow. He closed his eyes and dozed of into a peaceful slumber.
-~-~-~--~-~
"Here Goten, catch!" Trunks threw him the weapon.
*CRASH* That jerk is breaking a lot of my mom's things! He grabbed the baseball bat with ease.
"Who ever is trying to rob us is in the kitchen. I got a plan. Now listen carefully. There's two entrances to the get into the kitchen; one on the left and the other on the right. You go on the left side. There's a light switch nearby it. I'll come in and knock the guy out with my bat. Then you turn on the lights ok?"
"Okay but how come you get to have all the fun beating up the guy?" he asked.
"It's my house Trunks and besides you tricked me last time. Now go get in your position."
The lavender haired boy stealthily walked to where he was suppose to be and waited for his cue. I wonder who this guy is...
Meanwhile Goten ran into the room where the stranger was. This guy is going to pay! I'll teach him to take people's hard earned stuff! With that thought burning in his mind he tore at the man with his bat, breaking it completely. Boy this guy's head must be hollow or something!?
"Turn on the lights now Trunks!"
The boy did as he was told. Both Saiya-jins gasped in surprise as the true identity of the stranger was shown.
"Yikes! I never knew your dad walked in his sleep!"
"I didn't know that either! Just look at what he is doing!" the black haired boy screamed.
Goku was subconsciously searching through the fridge and putting everything he laid his hands on in one large platter.
"WOW! He can eat in his sleep too!" Trunks yelled, "But wait, we have to stop him before he eats anything."
Goten frowned, "Yeah but how do we wake him up? He'll be really grumpy."
"It's simple. We'll just blast him till he gets back to his senses," Trunks smugly replied.
"It's not that easy brainiac! Knowing you, you'll probably blow up the entire house!" he replied.
"Well do you have any other ideas Goten? We're losing time as it is. Your dad looks like he could eat the whole fridge in one bite!"
He has a point there. Well mom is going to kill me for doing this but you got to do what you got to do. "Fine then. Are you ready to fire?"
Trunks shook his head, "Yup, always am!"
The duo simultaneously ki blasted Goku knocking the helpless Saiya-jin out.
-~-~-~--~-~
Chichi awoke in the middle of the night feeling a cold draft. She rubbed her eyes and moved to the left side of the bed; hoping to snuggle in with her lover's embrace. Instead she found no one.
What the!? Where did Goku go!? *BOOM* A loud noise was heard coming from the kitchen. What's going on here!? She immediately ran into the room only greeted by thick smoke.
-~-~-~--~-~
"Oops! I think we accidentally knocked him out Goten. I'm real sorry about your kitchen too. I didn't know the blast was THAT powerful!"
The room's walls were completely demolished along with the appliances and the roof.
Goten quickly ran to his father's side. "I'm REALLY sorry dad! I didn't mean to do that! I was just trying to help you!" He mentally sighed, He'll be out for a little while. What am I going to do about the kitchen though! At least mom isn't up.
The smoke had finally cleared and Chichi could clearly see her son kneeling beside her husband, Trunks standing next to him, and a demolished room.
"GOTEN AND TRUNKS! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO GOKU! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BEAUTIFUL KITCHEN! YOU HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO SO START TALKING!" she yelled with totally fury.
Trunks whispered to him, "You tell her what happened, she is your mom and all." Goten sweat dropped and retold the past few events to his mother.
"THAT'S IT! I'M CALLING YOUR MOM RIGHT NOW TRUNKS!" Chichi stormed into her bed room and hit speed dial.
I'm in big trouble now. Who knows what punishment dad has got in store for me! Trunks nervously thought.
-~-~-~--~-~
Bulma was awoken at the sound of her telephone ringing. She glanced at her clock. Only a maniac would call at four in the morning.
"Hello?" she groggily said.
"Hello Bulma! This is Chichi. You need to come over here this INSTANT to punish your boy Trunks!"
"What? Punish him? You want me to come over right now!? Look at the time Chi! I'm tired. I got to go!"
She quickly hung up and disconnected the phone line. That will keep her from calling me for a while.
Vegeta awoke at the sudden noise, "Who the hell was that?" he sleepily asked.
Bulma yawned, "Just Chichi. She said that Trunks need to be punished for doing something bad."
"Punished huh? I hope he blew up that witch's house!" he yelled.
Bulma laughed, "MY Trunks would NEVER do something like that!" she bent down and stroked his soft face, "Go to sleep Vegeta. It's getting late." The both dozed off.
-~-~-~--~-~
Chichi rapidly redialed her number only to be greeted by her answering machine. Damn her! She's ignoring me now! She threw the crimson phone against the wall in anger.
"You two! GO and to your room and SLEEP NOW! and DON'T make any noise!" she was fuming.
The two Saiya-jins raced into the room and into their separate beds. I shouldn't have slept over tonight. Trunks frowned.
-~-~-~--~-~
Chichi knelt by her husband, "Come on Goku wake up!"
Still no movement.
"I order you to wake up NOW Goku!"
He still didn't move. Chichi began to weep on his tough chest.
-~-~-~--~-~
"AAAHHH! Chichi its you!? What are you doing here?" Goku finally got up.
The raven haired woman ran into his arms, "Goku you're back! Don't ever leave me again!"
"Leave you? What did I miss?"
"Goten and Trunks shot you with a ki blast and you were out cold. They also made up an excuse saying that they were trying to save you from eating!"
Save me? I must have been eating in my sleep again. "I should go and thank them then."
Her mouth dropped to the floor, "THANK THEM!? Look at what they did to my house for Kami's sake! They should be punished, NOT thanked!"
"Boy Chichi you look stressed. Maybe you need to rest?"
"WHAT GAVE YOU THE IDEA I WAS STRESSED!" A vein was about to pop.
She is scaring me. "You're going to get some sleep!" He gently picked her up in his arms.
"NO I'm not..." she quickly went into a deep slumber. Goku placed her in the bed and softly shut the door. I guess I better go talk with the boys to see what I missed.
