Changing Faces

Part 1 – Searching For Her Past

Chapter 6 – Can We Spar? Please?

As Bulma and Chi Chi were setting the table up, Trunks and Goten were running around play-fighting. Gohan introduced Videl to the rest of the Z Fighters. Everyone settled down after some friendly banter on Gohan's part, but luckily Videl didn't know much about the Earth culture to realize exactly what they were implying.

Soon it was time to eat. Large helpings and laughs were passed around as the 'bottomless pit' stomachs owned by the Saiyans and half-Saiyans once again proved true. With Chi Chi's outstanding cooking everyone ate their fill.

Not long after lunch, Goten and Trunks were begging their mothers for permission to spar.

Bulma and Chi Chi exchanged glances.

"Every time you two get together, something either breaks beyond repair or just blows up," Bulma protested.

"So you would have to go away from the area here, and you aren't old enough to go into the woods on your own," Chi Chi finished.

Videl nudged Gohan, "I want to see your powers."

"Okay," he replied, thought for a moment, and then said, "Hey Mom, I can take them out to a real nice sparring site."

Both boys jumped up and down in excitement.

Vegeta finally said, "Oh let them go. They hardly see each other, and it won't hurt anyone."

"Wow," Krillin grinned, "Support from Vegeta."

"Who spends all of his time training," Bulma added and then sighed, "I suppose, Trunks. Now Gohan, you make them come back if they get out of hand."

"Don't worry, Bulma, I can handle these two," he winked, "Oh, Videl, you can come also."

She nodded in consent and the four took to the skies.

"She can fly! I don't know," Krillin added, "That girl is kind of… weird. If you ask me."

Chi Chi waved her wooden spoon around, "Well no one asked you. Just look at those exotic clothes she wore, she must be rich. She would probably make a great wife for Gohan. I really would like to know where she is from though."

"You worry too much, Chi Chi," Bulma eased, "Gohan was never much of a people-person, so it's nice that he's making new friends. Especially since he started school, maybe he met her there."

"I guess so," she murmured, looking after the four distant silhouettes.
