Review thanks
Knight's Shadow thanks the Radditz / Krillin pairing will be fairer then it seems as Radditz has been training in hfil a bit and also has a greater technique range. Krillin's Ki-Ezan/ destructo -disk would have given him an advantage in a death match but this really isn't one. Chouza vs either Videl / Vanessa how strong is Chouza I'd guess he'd be around 20-30 thousand. After that session in the hyperbolic chamber both the girls should be approaching that range. I'm not saying that they're going to win but it's not going to be a walk in the park for anyone.
Adbzfan2k03 thanks

Repentance Chapter 23 : Shopping.
The limo pulled up just outside the department store and everyone got out. The femmes with that gleam in their eyes that suggests your credit card is about to go up in smoke and the men with the look of 'what did we do to deserve this'.
The worst part though was just beginning. The poor blokes were hustled into the nearest men's clothing shop and their there torture really began. The wives were having a field day, all their lives they'd wanted an opportunity to dress their husbands up in decent clothes and here was their chance. Nothing could save their husbands now. Goku decided he may as well be hung for a sheep instead of a lamb "Chichi dear can I choose the colour of my clothes?"
King Vegeta, Bardock and Vegeta awaited Chichi's answer, the fate of their future wardrobe hung in the balance.
"hmmm what did you have in mind Goku." Chichi wondered what her mate was attempting.
"Well I imagine you want me to get me into a suit, could I at least have a nice white shirt and maybe a light blue one to go with it." Goku asked seeing what he could get away with.
"Yes that's reasonable you'll look good in those colours." Chichi answered dreamily faraway was her mind imagining images of her beloved Goku in a nice white shirt and a dark suit whisking her off to a far away place.
"Can I go try those two on." Goku pointed at a white and light blue shirt.
"Sure dear" Chichi was still off in her dream world.
Disappearing for a moment into the change rooms Goku tried on the light blue shirt, perfect, he smiled his plan was going quite well so far and with that he walked, more like strutted, back into the shop. The visual affect on the femmes was amazing, was this hunk that stood before them Goku. They had to get their mates looking like this. King Vegeta and Bardock were looking very worried what had he done, now their mates would want them to dress up too, this was not looking good. Vegeta on the other hand was looking at Kakkarot in a different light, he knew that Kakkarot never did anything without a purpose what was his motive. Vegeta examined the shirt Kakkarot was wearing, 'hmm light blue no significance there, top button undone - can easily be done up still no significance hmm what's he hiding loose fitting shirt that looks good wait loose fitting of course Kakkarot you genius, you've beaten them at their own game they want to buy us clothes so you just get them to buy you something that you feel comfortable in and want instead of what they want that will be uncomfortable. I wonder if I can adapt the principle.' Vegeta looked around the room, what was there that he might on a good day actually consider wearing. He spotted a long sleeve red shirt his size that had a blue one the same as Goku's behind it, the contrast was perfect. Considering how best to get the shirt without arousing suspicion though that was the problem.
Bulma solved it " Hey Vegeta why can't you look as good as Goku"
"What are you suggesting woman" right play dumb and arrogant Vegeta and this may just work he told himself.
"I bet you couldn't look good in a shirt if you tried" Bulma was pulling Vegeta's strings well unfortunately she didn't know he was pulling hers as well.
"hmmmpphhh" mumbling Vegeta walked over to the red shirt grabbed it and went into the change room. Not until he was in did he allow his facade to crack. Putting the shirt on though the smile on his face was evident in the mirror. 'Perfect beat the woman at her own game, removing his smile he put the scowl back on as he stepped out next to Kakkarot so his shirt would get the best contrast.
"Wow Vegeta you look downright handsome in that. I'll have to get you in a shirt more often." Bulma thought she had persuaded Vegeta, he wasn't about to correct her.
"Now it's own turn come on Bardock, King Vegeta are you going to find some decent shirts or are we going to have to find them for you." Vasti and Celera looked diabolical given the evil smiles across their faces.
King Vegeta and Bardock looked at each other something was wrong here, both their sons had grabbed shirts of their own liking not their mates and had apparently gotten away with it, how could they do the same. Bardock thought of it first 'find a shirt that you like that looks really cool on you that your mate will love and you'll get away with it otherwise she'll pick something she likes' and Bardock was damned if he was about to be forced to wear pink to make Celera happy. Looking around the room he found a shirt that suited him nicely ,dark blue, not to bright not to dark trying it on he thought 'Well they can only say no.' Testing his theory he wore the shirt to where Goku and Vegeta were lazing around waiting. "Nice shirt." was their response. Celera hearing their comments turned around and looked at her mate. "Sweet I have to let you choose your shirts more often if you look that good in them." Was Celera's response she definitely thought her mate looked good in blue.
"Now all we have to do is wait for King Vegeta." Vasti said.
"You called"
King Vegeta walked out of the change room in full black to the appraising looks of the femmes. "Well you have to admit he does look good in black." Vanessa commented to her mother.
"Yeah he does, Okay Vege dear you can keep that if you agree to us getting you a white suit" Vasti suggested setting up a further purchase.
"Okay so as the one with the credit card what are the total purchases we want" Bulma wanted to get shopping too.
"well they men have they shirts they're wearing, we'll get a white long sleeve each on general principles, three black suits and one white suit." Chichi suggested back from dreamland.
"Yep that will do." and getting a sales assistant to get the rest of the clothes Bulma went to the counter and purchased everything.
"Now our turn" Vanessa led the way as the women rushed into the nearest female clothing shop. The men followed behind holding their new clothes.
Sitting on a chair outside the shop the men waited, they weren't stupid enough to go into the shop and over the next several hours they shifted from seat to seat as the femmes wondered from shop to shop. The purchases were adding up bulma had found five new outfits, Chichi had nine , Vanessa was carrying around 17 outfits of various descriptions, while Vasti and Celera were matching each other at 35. " WOW you two really know how to shop" Bulma couldn't believe the clothes the two were finding.
"Well when you haven't had a chance for forty years you start to need some retail therapy." Vasti said while looking through another clothes rack.
"Yeah HFIl's clothing range really sucks and they wouldn't even let us go to Princess Snake's to look over some of her outfits." Celera complained as another clothing rack recieved her inspection.
"Are those Girls every going to stop" King Vegeta wondered
"Probably not they'll keep going all day and there's nothing we can do to stop them" Vegeta lamented.
