3. Night on the town
Chichi walked to the front door and rang the bell. Inside some howls to whom would open the door when Gokuu's father answered.
"Hiya, come in. HEY BRATS! SHE'S HERE, MOVE YOUR ASSES!" Smirking he waved her into the living room and flopped over the groaning couch.
"So, what are you up too tonight?" He asked. Stealing glances at her. She was dressed smartly. He noted the black body suit with near black make-up. She looked older. Her hair was lose. Throwing him a smile, she threw her black hair back.
"Nothing much. Jeezstill can't get over your size." She stated
honest.
"Huh? My size? I am average!"
"From what planet Eh?" She rose snickering as he eyed her with big
eyes. What the hell? Miss cheeky here?
"For your infoVegeta-sei." She threw him another laugh.
"SureOI Vegeta! MOVE!" She strolled away as Bardock rolled off
the couch. Now just one minute!
"WAIT UP!" He barked. Coyly Chichi turned. Patting her chest. Her?
He nodded and walked over.
"She's not finished for some time to come, follow me." He grasped
her tinny wrist and yanked her after him. "I'll show you"
"OH, big bad alien will show me. Sir if you weren't Gokuu's dad, I'd kick
your ass."
"I beg of you, please do." He muttered back. Kids these daysPull
her up a second stair case and into his room. Pushed her on the bed and rummaged
in the closet. Fished out his armour and tossed it over. She caught it and shrugged.
And? His suit. She sniffed it and crinkled her nose. Eew
"And this" He dumped a load of pictures over her. Like snow
it floated down as she picked some out.
"Neat effects!" She sat straighter as she scanned them. "Lots
of man hours" Frustrated Bardock eyed her.
"Just a secthey were from a photo thing! Unbelieving wenchhere."
He handed her his scouter and activated it.
"NEAT. What does it say? I saw Vegeta and Gokuu with this too. Could I
have one" She tapped it and scanned a vase.
"OkayI have a few things in my mind that you CAN'T do." Irritated
he opened the window and grabbed Chichi. who dropped the scouter on the bed.
"HEY, what's the big idea!" Without a word he tossed her three levels down. Before she hit the ground he caught her and gently dropped her.
"Wowagain!" He smirked.
"Very well" He grabbed her around the waist and flew up. Wincing
she covered her face against his chest as wind slashed around them. "Well
then. Do you agree that humans can't fly?"
"Sure they can." She smugly eyed him.
"Without machines" She thought about it and beamed.
"Bungee rope."
"Cheat. That's falling. And parachutes don't count either. They drop slower.
Well, look down." Weary she did and yelping clutched him. Far below them
the city stretched out. Only lights were seen.
"Need a light?" He clutched her firm with his left arm and produced a pulsating sphere. Weary Chichi peered at it and then reached for it. Sweat dropping Bardock dissipated it.
"Are you stupid! That could hurt you badly!"
"THEN DON'T MAKE IT!"
"AH, so you agree that this is not humanly possible? Come on, your intelligent
enough. Think." She gulped as she glanced below.
"I don't like itthen Gokuu and Vegetaand Vegeta's momTAILS."
She whimpered against him. Suddenly scared of heights.
"FINALLY!!! Revelation timeYup the tail must have given it away.
We are called Saiya-jins. I'm a full blood, their not. And they found me in
SPACE. Hence the pictures?"
"Then why are you here, GO HOME."
"BLEW UP!" He almost sung in glee. "Now believe?" He felt
her nodding. Aw? Did he scare her? Too much? Vegeta would kill him.
"Now calm down. Wanna fly about? You pick."
"Justdon't drop meI know somethingGokuu dad? Err. Bardock?"
She glanced up with a twinkle in her eye. Err
"I have a feeling I won't like itbut go ahead"
"Teach me to fly and I won't go to a TV station"
"WHAT? YOU" He dropped her, while wailing.
He counted down to three and flew down. All flushed of the wailing Chichi glanced
upside down up.
"Knew you would catch meWell? Deal? And you can teach me some martial
arts too. I surpassed my teach"
"Indeed?" He put her on the lawn before landing. Suddenly brave she
rose and cleaned her clothes. Where did she get those guts? Wasn't she scared
before now?
"I used to drop out of planes with a parachute. This is much better."
He sighed. Hopeless.
"FINE. Fine, I will teach you. But not because I fear exposing. Because
I feel like it. If I needed I could call a spaceship and I'm seriously gone."
He boosted his chest as Chichi snickered.
"SureAnyway, when do we start? I'm booked for the night." He
laughed cold.
"Your not the only one you know. Tomorrow it's Saturday. Be here at 9 am
sharp. Not here or late one morning, deals off. I hate latecomers. DEAL?"
"Deal." They shook their hands.
"Well come on, I hate to ring on my own doorbell." Grabbed her slim
waist and flew upinto Gokuu's shocked face.
"DADand Chichi!!! You warnedand thenWHY?"
"BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T BELIEVE ME SQUIRT. Now she does. And gravity machine
is mine tomorrow, I have myself a Seito."
"You are going to" Gokuu eyed the smug Chichi.
"YES, and if this works out, I might start a Dojo. Doing what I love and
know best."
"S"
"Goodnow MOVE." He did and soon chichi was put down in his bedroom.
Vegeta strolled inside as she fixed her leather getup.
"So" Chichi began. "I know who you are"
"What a wonderhit your head?" Vegeta smirking replied as she
pulled up the top zipper.
"NoMy Sensei told me." Behind her Bardock snickered. Weary
Vegeta eyed both.
"Is that so?" Gokuu with slumped shoulders eyed her.
"He toldher what we are?" before Bardock knew it he was against
a wall in Vegeta's grasp.
"YOU IDIOT!"
"HEY I made the rule I can break it" he gasped.
"FUCK YOU. I made it remember?"
"Ohyou made the rule, I broke itshame on mebut she didn't
believe me!"
"DIDN'T BELIEVE WHAT?" Bardock gasped again, manshe was nearing
explosion pointbrat? Ah
"That we were aliens"
"I AM NOT, I WAS BORN HERE!"
"OKAYYYY. THAT I AM AN ALIENI was born on Vegeta-sei, far away from
this jointmy right to tell" she dumped him peeved.
"If they expose you, we're in shit too. How'd you like your only son being
dissected."
"Har-harI'm SO scared. With their technology? Come on"
Bardock sneered rubbing his neck
"If the state finds out, I will kill you." She stated sweetly. While
pulling her lip backdamned cat
"Noted" confused Chichi eyed the exchange
"Sensei? Is Vegeta stronger?" Bardock laughed silly.
"As me? You betso is Gokuu. My DEAR son, who did NOTHING to help
his OLD dad." Gokuu crossed his arms.
"I happen to agree with her." Soar Chichi eyed them.
"How nice and trustful you are!" She yelled. "Maybe this was
a bad idea." And stalked through the door. Popping a vein Vegeta raised
her hand at Bardock then ran after Chichi.
"Women" Bardock grunted. "And YOUARE SO GROUNDED." Gokuu pulled his eye and walked out. Leaving Bardock and his fit in his bedroom. Groundedmake him. "They are taking advantage of the situationthey really do" He grunted. "Being a parent sucksshould have been strongerand if their in shit, they figure it out." Worst thing washis pride had reached the lowest point in 300 yearsso he gained a studentDAMN IT ALL.

Vegeta, Gokuu and Chichi strolled into the busy club and eyed the laser lights, crowd and loud music. Eager Vegeta squirmed past some at the bar and ordered ale. Sure she was underage. But this joint didn't give about that. Had been closed more times then she could remember as well. With three mixes she returned and handed a blue to Gokuu, a green to Chichi and took the red herself.
"CHEERS!" The three clanged the glasses and gulped it down. Dizzy Chichi burped. Her throat!
After slow dancing with a couple of boys, or in Gokuu's case girls, they reconvened at the bar after harassing some away. Before them more then a dozen small bottles each. Vegeta knowingly grabbed one. Chichi and Gokuu followed suit. She slammed ten times hard on the bar. They followed. She put it near her mouth with the cap and turned it lose, with her teeth only. Put the cap on her nose and drank the bottle empty in one go. Before slamming the empty bottle on the bar. Wiped her lips and laughed. WOW.
"Gotto love Flügel." She managed. Reaching for the second.
"Sayyou two won't cheat right? Are you alcohol proof?" Chichi
asked. Vegeta laughed.
"Oh no. I tried it with grampa's old liquorman I was so drunkthen
mom found me. Was 11soooo groundedOne who gets down mostwins!"
Quickly they slammed on the bar and drank with the caps on their noses until
the room started spinning on its own and all three were grinning like lunatics.
Noses red and cheeks flushed. Eyes didn't focus and they simply couldn't talk
straight.
At 3 am they rolled grinning out of the club. Holding on to Gokuu who walked in the middle and being the longest. Laughing they strolled on. Going from one side of the street to the other. The road was screwed see? And the buildings toothey kept on moving places they shouldn't. Grinning Vegeta toppled over and peered at two shoes. And three more behind it. Three more pairs that is, huh? Glanced up at the panty hose face and burst out laughing.
"Stockings don't become you!" She snickered. A gun was shoved in her face. "OHGokuu!!! They wanna play!" She hiccuped. And snickered because of it. "OhGOKUU???" She sung.
"Huh? Wot?" I can see six of emoh no"
Chichi cried in glee.
"Robbers!!! Hey robbers? She's Vegeta Briefstake her and get some
money!" Vegeta blurry peered back.
"Oh you tell taleOKAY." She heaved herself up wobbly and fixed
herself. She fell in battle stancestill wobbly and smiked. While hiccuping.
"Okayhit itI am the strongest on this planetI really
am" Chichi nodded.
"Yup she isstronger then my SenseiVegeta? You're my friend
right?"
"Sure I amyour save with me"
"Oh and me?" Gokuu piped. "We're equals right?"
"I liedI'm stronger" She chided.
"NO cause I lied too." They turned as the robbers blinked confused.
Vegeta walked up to him.
"YOU WHAT?" Prodding his chest. He slumped guilty.
"I can turn higher then super"
"NO WAY! You can'tCause I can't and, then you ca,n so your stronger?
That's wrongDon't believe you."
"No it's not, you're a girl and I am a boy. Boys 'supposed to be stronger."
"BULLSHIT! Boys suck. I kicked butt ever since I crawled"
"I kicked my grampa in my diaper" Gokuu returned. Chichi waited
impatiently.
"Lookrobbers? Guns? Ouch?" The bickering couple glanced at four
guns aimed at them.
"YEAH like she said! Give us yourmoney!"
"Don't have moneyI'm broke..." Vegeta mused.
"WELL WE'LL SHOOT YAH THEN." A bigger stated. Vegeta blinked sullen.
Damn alcohola shot was fired, Chichi wailed in fright as Gokuu blocked
Vegeta and Chichi. Grabbing the bullet by instinct.
"You can seriously hurt someone with that mister" He stated.
Acting stupid while he was furious inside.
"Eh?" the group stated as he tossed the metal aside. Chichi clamped
Vegeta who tried to pry her off. Damned Gokuu got all the fun now!
"Now Chichi, Lemme go, I wanna help him" She whined.
"Ddid Gokuu just caught the bullet, of is the alcohol making me see
things" She stammered. Clutching Vegeta tightly.
"Yes he caught it, no it's not the ale. Now Lemme go" Weary
she did and saw Vegeta rubbing her hands as she waddled over and nearly bumped
in to Gokuu.
"Hiwanna join in the fun?" He asked.
"Yup, triple-two attack?" He nodded. They blurred out of sight. The
men by an invisible force were kicked in two stages against the other. Vegeta
and Gokuu blurred back in view and kicked them three streets down.
"Nice work." Vegeta stated.
"Looked good." Gokuu agreed.
"OkayI know to whom I'm sticking while drunk" Chichi mused as she joined the singing couple. The three waddled back home and fell into one bed. Gokuu crushed under the pile.
* * *
After a sleepless night Bardock kicked the blankets off and stalked to his sons bedroom. Empty and still made bed. Was he still out? No way, he heard the brats stumbled up. Vegeta's room then. He snuck over and peered inside. Still weary of her mood. Silently he tiptoed inside at 5 am and eyed the tangled mess. However his son was most comfythe two girls asleep on his chest. No blanket covering them either. Must have been tiredhe first went to the right side and peeled Chichi off. That was easy enough. He even went so far as bringing her to a spare bedroom and pulling a cover up. All to stretch timenext wasVegeta. Licking his lips he eyed the scenehow DEEP did she sleep now? Carefully and praying she wouldn't wake he peeled her off and quickly snagged Gokuu before she fell back on the pillow. Doneaccomplished. Pulling Gokuu over his back he quickly left the room and closed the door. Now then. Smirking sinister he scurried down and next to the gravity room, dumped him under a cold shower. Yelping Gokuu woke.
"Huhoh its you dad" He rubbed his
eyes out as Bardock stopped the cold water flow.
"WE need to talk"
"NOW? It's bloody night"
"YEAH NOW." He grabbed Gokuu's foot and dragged him into the training
room. There he had his packed bags and scouter ready. Lets see if he could shock
him. It worked as Gokuu eyed from the bags to him.
"What are you doing?"
"Leaving. What does it look like. Already called Solan." Gruff Bardock
eyed him. "Because it seems that SOME in this house, are keen on replaying
time and time again, that their power surpasses mine. And I am fed up."
He explained. Dressed in his Saiya-jin get up and all.
"Byou promised" Gokuu stammered.
"I acted like a father. You didn't even saw me STANDING when I said you
were grounded! If you two want to train, you don't ask but threaten to squash
me like a bug under extreme gravity which I cannot withstand yet! You have to
understand that in my time. Super Saiya-jins were a myth. In my time I was an
average fighter. Now? I am just as pathetic as any other earthling on this planet
compared to you. You two have been disobedient while I am older and have been
mocking me when ever possible. I can take it from Vegeta. But NOT you. You're
my own blood! And I refuse to be used either as a slave or door mat! So either
YOU change, and perhaps talk to Vegeta, or I am leaving." Shocked and scared
Gokuu eyed him. He didn't want to lose him at all!
"Well go on. Wake her up. I'll be here. I want to hear your decision, and I want to hear it within the hours. Or I am gone." Gulping Gokuu bolted away.
* * *
"VegetaVegeta wake up please" Desperate Gokuu gently
shook Vegeta who yawning woke.
"What is it?" She muttered sleepy.
"He's leaving! And it's our fault."
"My faultwhat the hell are you yapping about. Start over."
"It's my dadhe woke me just nowhe's leaving unless we behave
around him. He's hurt cause we put him down, because we're strongerVegeta
I don't want to lose himhe called Solan" Vegeta put her hand
on his mouth as he talked louder in dispair.
"Shush, you'll wake up the whole house. Calm downIf he had a problem
he should have said so. Did you do anything that snapped him?"
"He did showeven on the shiplook just come down and see him.
He's serious!" instead of waiting for her to fully wake Gokuu picked her
up and rushed through the silent house into the gravity room. Bardock glanced
up grim.
"By Dende...how early is it" Vegeta grumbled as she covered
her eyes from the bright light.
"5.15and it you haven't decided before 6, I am gone." Nursing
a hangover Vegeta sighed.
"Bardockwhy did you never really TELL me what bugged
you. I'm a woman, I don't take male hints well"
"Every time that I tried to talk to you, about this or something else. You pin me up a wall. You have a really bad temper and don't even try to put it down." He snarled back. She waved him down. Don't get all hot headed. She thought. Her head couldn't take it.
"Now you two listen and listen good. I am older then you, more experienced and you have no right to put me down the way you have a puppy. It's degrading." Shaking her grogginess off she rose and eyed him. Thought deep and tried to think up situations. Perhaps even tonightbut she was worried for themsuddenly made up her mind and walked up to Bardock.
"I will say this only once." She began. "I am sorry for hurting you. If I do again, TELL ME. I can't read minds. And I will try to control myself in the future." Stiff she waited for his reply. For once she actually meant it. If he didn't see that. Then screw him and she'd kick his butt to Solan personally.
"Gokuu?" She growled back. Bardock patiently waited. Gokuu quickly
joined her.
"I'm sorry dadI was stupid. You grounded me and I still left. I'll
stay home until you say I'm done." Desperate and hopeful Gokuu scanned
his fathers face who showed no hint of acknowledgement.
"Go to bed." He stated after a while. Confused Gokuu paused as Vegeta
wished them a good rest and walked away.
"Will you stay? Please?" His eyes darted to the now hated scouter.
"Yes. And I won't threaten to leave again if you keep your word." Relieved Gokuu walked away. Smug Bardock flopped on his bags. Hell he never contacted Solan. He was already far away and wouldn't have been able to come here on a whim. Lucky thing his bluff was metThen againhe did always win at poker gamesthat should pipe them down for a while.
