[Meanwhile, at the Son house]
"I'm so glad you could come for a visit, Tousan!"
"Sure Chi-chi, I love seeing everyone, especially the kids. Speaking of which, I got them each a present!" Ox King reached into his coat, and used his magical cartoon character abitity to pull big packages out of a really small coat. "Here's yours Goten. Where's your brother?"
"I dunno, I think he's studying... PRESENTS!!! YAY!!"
"Gee whiz, you'd think it's Christmas, not just a visit from your Grandpa!" exclaimed Chi-chi.
"Speaking of Christmas..." started Ox King. Before he could say anything more, he was interrupted.
"Oooh! Didya get anything for me, Ox King?" asked Goku hopefully. "Didya? Didya?"
"Down boy!" commanded Chi-chi, while pulling on his shirt.
"Ooh, yay! The new Sugar Wars video game! Become your own hyper kid and collect the sugar cubes for points. You have to beat all the evil fruits and vegtables to win! Thanks, Grandpa!" exclaimed Goten, running up to his room to play it. As Goten tore up the stairs Gohan walked down them.
"Aah, finished at last," sighed Gohan.
"Gohan,come here! I've got a present for you!" said Ox King.
"Oooh,goodie, what is it?" Ox King handed him his present.
"Awesome! A book on how to lie better to avoid getting yourself blackmailed! Cool!"
"It also has a little part about mothers in there too," Ox King whispered to Gohan out of the corner of his mouth.
"Nani?!" screamed Chi-chi.
"Um, nothing..." said Gohan nervously.
'Hmph," hmphed Chi-chi.
"When's dinner? I'm starving!" said Goku.
"Hold on a minute. I have something important to say. I went over to the Briefs house, Bulma's parents, and we were looking up in the attic. They found something very peculiar."
"What?" Goku interrupted.
"Shut up and let him finish," said Chi-chi.
"What they found is not important right now. When I went back home, I decided to look in my attic to see if I could find anything interesting."
"Well, what did you find?" asked Goku.
"SHUT UP AND LET HIM FINISH!!!!!" screamed Chi-chi.
"Gomen...."
"Anyway," continued Ox King, "I found an old picture of when Chi-chi's grandma was 13 years old. It seemed that she was having a Bat Mitzvah."
"You mean we're Jewish?" said Gohan.
"Apparently so," replied his grandfather.
"Whoa..." whoaed everyone.
"The Briefs found out the same thing. That means in four days we'll be celebrating Chanukkah!"
"What's a Chanukkah? Is it food? FOOD!!!!" asked Goku, drooling at the thought of food.
Chi-chi conked him on the head. "No it's not food, it's a holiday!"
"Holidays have food though. Do Jewish ones?"
"Oy vey!" sighed Chi-chi.
"See? You've had it in you all along! Oy Vey is a Yiddish*** expression!" exclaimed Ox King.
"Yiddish? Is that a holiday too?" asked Goku. Chi-chi took the liberty of punching him unconscious.
"So what do we do to prepare?" asked Chi-chi.
"I don't know. Let's call the Briefs, Grandpa said they found out the same thing too," suggested Gohan.
"Okay, I'll go call," replied Chi-chi. She went to go call, but no one answered. "Huh, no ones answering. Knowing Bulma, they're probably already researching it. We might as well go over there and see how they're doing," said Chi-chi.
"Okay, but it'll take longer since someone knocked out Instant-Transmission man," said Gohan pointedly.
"Don't talk to your kaasan that way, young man!" said Ox King.
"Let's just get in the car. Gohan, get your brother." After convincing Goten to get off Sugar Wars and dragging Goku's unconscious form, they all piled into the Son's car. Ox King drove because no one else could.
"Kaasan, can we bring Videl? I'm sure she'd be interested!" asked Gohan.
"Your girlfriend? Hercules daughter? Sure!"
When they arrived they found a smoking living room. By now Goku had woken up and they had explained to him on the way.
"Um..." said Gohan.
"What happened here?" asked Videl/
"Let's just go in the lab," said Chi-chi, "And pray they're OK."
"Bulma?"
"Vegeta?"
"Trunks?"
"Bra?"
"Anyone?"
"We're in here!" came a voice.
"Bulma! It's me, Chi-chi! We were wondering if you've found anything about Nanuka or whatever."
"Chanukkah," Bulma corrected. "So far we've found that it's a celebration that lasts eight days and eight nights. It's in commeroration of a battle the Jewish people won in 165 B.C."
"It's also reminding us of a miracle that happened in a temple. When the Jewish people only had enough oil to light a candelabra called a menorah, the oil lasted eight nights," continued Mirai Trunks.
"Is that- it is! It's Mirai Trunks!" exclaimed Gohan.
"Who's Mirai Trunks?" asked Goten and Videl.
"Long story," Gohan told his brother and future wife. "Wow, what are you doing here?"
"Celebrating our first Chanukkah," replied Trunks with a chuckle.
"What's so funny?" asked Chi-chi.
"Mom told me about this one, and I wanted to see it for myself. I can't say more than this, but it's gonna be funny!"
"Right..."
"Hey! Let's invite everyone over too help us prepare and celebrate!" suggested Goku.
"I'll go call everyone," said Vegeta. "It's better than watching this crap." Thirty minutes later Krillin, #18, Marron, Puar, Yamucha, Tien, Oolong, Muten Roshi, and even Piccolo walked in the door.
"Hey! It's Mirai Trunks!" exclaimed Yamucha.
"Hai. I'm here to celebrate our first Chanukkah," he explained once more.
"You know, I had a Jewish friend once, and he had this weird food called Matzah*****or something. Maybe we should eat that," said Videl.
"According to my facts, Matzah is bread without yeast. Like a cracker," said Bulma. "We don't have any matzah, but we do have crackers. Veggie- chan, could you go get some?"
"Don't call me that, woman!"
"Just go get the crackers!"
"I think they light candles too," said Tien. "Lots of candles."
"Trunks, could you go grab some candles?" asked Bulma.
"Hai!" both Trunkses replied.
"I had a Jewish friend too, and they had these weird triangle-shaped cookies with jelly in them," put in Yamucha.
"Cookies?" asked Goku. "I'll find those!"
"They're called Hamentshin*****. They might have them at the grocery store, they put out any Jewish item for any Jewish holiday."
"Goodie! I'll be right back!" Goku said as he put two fingers to his forehead.
"I'm so glad you could come for a visit, Tousan!"
"Sure Chi-chi, I love seeing everyone, especially the kids. Speaking of which, I got them each a present!" Ox King reached into his coat, and used his magical cartoon character abitity to pull big packages out of a really small coat. "Here's yours Goten. Where's your brother?"
