Hey there,

Thanx for all the reviews lately. I'm soooo sorry about my spaz so soon I will give you all a sneak preview of my future story, Mario Ball Z. Any way enjoy the story.

Chapter 6: Breakfast at the Son's House

Gohan and Videl snuck inside, hoping that Chi Chi was still asleep. Gohan poked his head through the door and looked around to check if his mother was around. Not in the kitchen. He motioned for Videl to follow him and was just about to sneak up to his room when he heard a step. And then another. *Please don't be mum* prayed Gohan. He had no idea of what to do, but Videl kept her mind about her. She quickly went to the cupboard and grabbed out some cereal out and pulled Gohan into a seat. Just as Gohan sat down Chi Chi walked in wearing her morning robe.

"Oh, good morning" said Chi Chi "What are you two doing up so early?"

"We both were having trouble sleeping" Videl replied, pouring milk over her Froot Loops.

"You weren't cold were you, Videl?" asked Chi Chi worriedly.

"No, remember, I have been sleeping badly just like Gohan. I told you last night didn't I?" asked Videl in reply.

"Oh, yeah" she said. *They have both been sleeping badly. Looks like Goku was right afterwards* Chi Chi thought.

"Is dad up yet, mum?" asked Gohan starting on his third bowel of Froot Loops.

"Yeah, he is taking a shower, and don't fill up on Froot Loops you two. I'm making rice for breakfast" said Chi Chi as she snatched the box away. At that moment Goten walked into the room and took a seat at the table.

"Good morning everyone, can I have some Froot Loops?" asked Goten, wiping the sleep out of his eyes.

"No, I'm making rice" snapped Chi Chi.

"But they got some" nagged Goten, pointing at Videl who was just finishing her first bowel.

"You snooze, you loose squirt" laughed Gohan. He had long ago finished his third bowel of Froot Loops and was eagerly awaiting the arrival of his rice. If Chi Chi didn't hurry he would have withdrawals. At that point Goku walked in in a towel. He didn't realise that everyone was up just yet so when he came in he suddenly felt a little underdressed.

"Uh… sorry, I didn't know you were all up" he said starting to blush. I'll be back down soon. He hurried up to his bedroom, got changed and was back down before anyone spoke another word.

"That was quick. You sure you got dressed properly, Goku?" teased Chi Chi, giving Goku a kiss on the cheek.

"Of course I did. Are you accusing me of something Chi Chi?" joked Goku as he sat down at the table. Chi Chi served up the rice and there was a repeat of the night before. Goku once again asked Gohan if he was alright as he wasn't eating as much as he normally did. Chi Chi and Videl were barely passed their third bowels by the time Goku and Gohan were on their twelfth. Chi Chi could not hold back the laughter as she watched Videl's reaction to this.

"Get used to it, Videl. It never changes" chuckled Chi Chi.

*These Saiyans are like bottomless pits. They never end. I wonder if I'll end up in Chi Chi's shoes one day, raising a family full of quarter Saiyans. Hold on, of course I won't. Me and Gohan are just friends. But that doesn't mean it can't become anything more* she thought as she watched Gohan eat his fifteenth and last bowel of rice.

Just then Goku nudged Chi Chi.

"I told you so" whispered Goku "no appetite is a definite sign".

*Sign of what* thought Videl, who had just heard them.

"Well, Videl and I decided last night that we are ALL going for a training session this morning" said Chi Chi while she collected the bowels.

"Even you mum?" asked Goten, who was feeling awfully full.

"Yes, even me" said Chi Chi proudly. Goku was looking particularly happy. He couldn't remember the last time he sparred with Chi Chi.

"Everybody go and get ready" she said. Everybody got up from the table and went and got ready. Gohan and Videl, who were already dressed for training, told Chi Chi they'd go on ahead. They managed to get off with only one joke about "sparring" in secret.

As they flew along Gohan was complaining about Chi Chi's constant wise cracks while Videl was silent. She was silent because she was gazing at Gohan's studded features. His jet black her that could go gold at any time, his deep, deep eyes and his chiselled body. Gohan didn't notice until he felt her focusing on him like at the lake. Once again he was desperate to break her thought.

"Lets train there" he said as he pointed to a little canyon nearby. As he descended Videl's thoughts were broken by his energy level bouncing up and down. It was obvious to her that he was trying to break her concentration. He was able to sense things in her he couldn't before just as she could feel new things in him. Then it occurred to her. What if he could hear what she was thinking? If he could she was as good as dead. They landed and Gohan started stretching, waiting for his family to arrive.

A few minutes later the sons turned up, riding the flying nimbus. Chi Chi was nagging Goku to teach her to fly but Goku wouldn't because he was "too busy".

"Your not busy, you lazy bum, you just don't want to. Why? Don't you think I'll be able to?" asked Chi Chi with a very annoyed look on her face.

"We'll talk about this later. We've got company, remember?" said Goku as he jumped off the cloud and walked over to Gohan.

"So Gohan, have you started… Argh!" yelled Goku as he threw a punch at Gohan who easily blocked it "Just keeping you on your toes, Gohan"

"I know" replied Gohan coolly.

"We've got women here so do your best" Goku whispered, glancing at the onlooking Chi Chi and Videl.

"Right" said Gohan as he fell back into his fighting stance "I'll try my hardest"…

So how did you like it. R+R.
