Z thanks and Videl is on the saiyans side, haven't decided who she's going to fight yet though. thanks for liking how i portray the saiyans i'm taking my inspiration from Dragoness eclectic's fic 'Radditz return' where he describes what hfil does and just applying it on a larger scale. don't worry about missing being able to review that's what hols are for to screw up ones timetable and they always go to fast don't they. anyway continued thanks.
Disclaimer : Now that I've used the almighty power of fic licence to make the Dragonballs active I just have find the little devils. Here Dragonball, come to Pappa.
Repentance Chapter 21 : A good meal
Several hours had passed and the saiyan-jins were getting seriously hungry, however this was creating a problem.
"Hey dad where are we all going to eat tonight." Gohan asked knowing his father would have thought of the food but not of the amounts needed."
"huh what do you mean Gohan" Goku was not entirely stupid. He knew Gohan was on to something, just not what the something was yet.
"Well dad even without Radditz, Nappa and the boys that still leaves seven of us here and that's not including grandma and Vasti, There is not enough all you can eat restaurants in all of Satan City to feed us." Gohan bemoaned. He liked all you can eat restaurants.
The rest of the saiyan-jins were eagerly awaiting Goku's answer knowing that their next meal was being discussed. This was a matter of life or death.
Goku's smile left his face as he sat down on the ground, unknowingly stoking his jaw line as he contemplated the serious problem. He sat like that for several minutes while everyone was silent. Finally he looked up at Bulma "We could all eat at your place Bulma you would have enough food to feed us, but there is another place we could go. If we go to Capsule Corps I need your assurance on something?" Goku answered as he asked Bulma.
"Sure you can all come to my place Goku what do I have to do" Bulma did, unbeknownst to her, have a sign. 'Provides Hospitality to stray saiyan-jins enquire at management'.
"Not much Bulma but could you let someone else do the cooking. I think we'd all like an edible meal tonight." Goku knew he was going to get into trouble for that but reckoned if they got a good meal it would be worth it.
"Why you Goku ahhh. I'll have you know I'm a very good cook" Bulma was 'Not Happy Jan'.( the quote's for Z she'll get it).
"Is that why Vegeta was jumping up and down in delight when I said someone else would have to cook" Goku countered as Vegeta stopped, looking very sheepish.
"Hmm well who else is there Goku? Chichi's occupied with Celera and Vasti, and you can't very well expect Videl to do the lot." Bulma Pouted sure she'd scored a point this time.
"You forgot me Bulma. I'll help Videl if she wants to cook otherwise I can do the lot. I'm used to cooking for large numbers." Vanessa reminded Bulma.
"SAVED." Vegeta hugged his sister.
"Well someone likes the idea." Vanessa smiled at the rare display of emotion from Vegeta. She figured if Bulma's cooking had driven him to this then it must indeed have been bad.
"Bugger. Oh well you can use my kitchen facilities I'm sure there's no problem with the ingredients." Bulma directed pointedly at Goku and Vegeta.
Both counting their blessing for not being harassed more directly meekly shook their heads.
"What about the boys will they know where to find us" Bardock asked.
"Yeah they'll be fine. They'll come home when they get hungry besides Goten and Trunks will sense where we are and lead the other's there." Goku answered his dad.
"Oh dad what about mum and the others." Gohan enquired.
"I'll go teleport them over when tea's nearly ready that way it will give Chichi a night off that's sure to put her in a good mood." Goku figuring that they would probably need Chichi in a good mood when she met everyone.
"Well you better tell her." Gohan wisely suggested, knowing how well prepared his mother was when it came to cooking the family meal.
"good idea." //* hey ChiChi what's up *//
//* Goku how many times do I have to tell you, don't interrupt me when I'm talking weddings *//
//* I know Chichi I just thought I'd let you know where having Tea at Bulma's tonight but she's not cooking so you can have a night off. I'll pick you up when its nearly ready. *//
//* Oh thankyou Goku I have to get back to talking weddings now but I'll be ready when you get here bye. *//
"Well she seemed pleased I think that's a good sign" Goku relayed to the others.
"Good lets head over there then so these girls can get tea started." Gohan suggested good naturedly.
Aura's flaring they took off to Capsule corps.
Landing at the compound they entered, each going to different locations. Videl and Vanessa proceeded to the kitchen where the started on making tea. Bulma went off to her lab so she could sulk in peace. And the men went into the entertainment area where Vegeta hooked up the Y-Box and while Gohan taught the controls to King Vegeta and Bardock, Vegeta loaded a Deathmatch game. Vegeta loved Deathmatch it was one of the few things he could beat Kakkarot in, Especially when he got to stick a plasma grenade on him and then run off and watch as Kakkarot went flying through the air. Bardock and King Vegeta soon caught on and were happily blasting whoever crossed their sights they even managed to catch Vegeta and Goku in the crossfire a couple of times. The responses though were somewhat different. Goku would try to machine gun their ass while getting out of there. Vegeta's was more direct, a grenade in each direction followed by the rocket launcher. They soon learned not to target Vegeta. Radditz, Nappa and the boys even watched the fun after they got back from their pub crawl. Radditz looked happier than he'd been in ages and Nappa was even sporting a grin though it could just have been the after effects of to much vodka. Unfortunately all good things had to come to an end as Videl had informed them that tea was only a couple of minutes away. They packed the Y-box away as Goku teleported off to get Chichi and the others. He was back in next to no time and with his arrival they wandered into the dining room. The sight before them was beyond their all their expectations, even King Vegeta was impressed. Mountains of food graced the table, all had been aptly provided for, even the Kiwi Bird had some seed from New Zealand.
Vanessa finally broke their shocked silence at the spectacle. "Well are you going to eat it or look at all day?"
Videl, Chichi and Bulma, their meals away from the others watched the incredible spectacle in front of them. Bodies flying everyone in a mad rush to see who could devour the most, King Vegeta and Bardock surprisingly leading the way, though given that they hadn't eaten in nearly 40 years that could be forgiven them.
"Mmmm wonderful food thank you Vanessa and Videl for such a beautiful meal." King Vegeta sat back and rubbed his stomach after the food was gone.
"That's okay." Vanessa answered for the both of them.
"Yeah you can really cook where did you learn how." Even Chichi was impressed it was a rare occurrence that she encountered someone who could cook as good as she could.
"Well I own a small restaurant in the village I used to live in. It helps when you're cooking for people you know." Vanessa answered modestly.
"Yeah."
"Hey Chichi why don't you and Goku sleep over tonight that way we can go shopping for clothes with the others in the morning?" Bulma suggested.
"Okay it'll be good to get away for a night I'll see you in the morning then Bulma" Chichi answered as she dragged Goku away from going back with Vegeta into the Entertainment room.
"Yeah Goodnight Chichi"
The others after receiving Bulma's deathglare found the rooms that had been allocated to them and gradually went to sleep.
okay next chapter will probably be out Tuesday though it could be Monday depends on 1)reviews and 2)time. Tell me what you thought of this one R&R.
