I really hope I'm not exaggerating that much when I say 70 metres...

Chapter 9 - The Resurrection

All the windows, mirrors and glassware within 70 metres of Chi Chi shattered, and she started crying. She was so upset that she didn't even notice that she had destroyed most of Bulma's chinaware and valuables.

"It's not fair! I spent so much time and effort, and made so much money at my restaurant, and now it's all gone! Bulma, what am I going to do? Bulma...? Uh, Bulma, can you hear me?" Chi Chi looked at Bulma and saw that she was facing the other direction. She tapped her on the shoulder and Bulma turned around.

"Bulma, why didn't you answer? Oh, I know now. You're angry because I broke all your stuff right? I'm sorry. But what should I do? Everyone's going to wonder why my restaurant isn't there anymore."

Bulma seemed confused, and then ran off. Chi Chi was wondering what was wrong when Bulma came back with a sheet of paper and a pen, and wrote, "Chi Chi, you've really done it this time. Your screaming has made me deaf! How could you? I really shouldn't help you bring your restaurant back, but restoring my hearing goes through the same process, so I might as well tell you." Bulma glared at Chi Chi then kept writing. "Anyway, I have an idea. All we have to do is get Goku to find the dragonballs, then we can wish your restaurant and my hearing back. That shouldn't be very hard at all. But you have to pay me for all the damage you did, down to the last plate."

"That's a great idea Bulma, and don't worry, I'll pay," said Chi Chi, and then she remembered that Bulma was deaf, so she wrote down what she had just said. She then stuck her head out of the nearest window and roared, "Goku and Vegeta, COME HERE RIGHT NOW! I WANT A TALK WITH BOTH OF YOU!"

Goku looked sympathetically at where Planet Plant used to be. "Well Vegeta, I guess Chi Chi's gonna get really, really mad at you for blowing up her restaurant." Vegeta was terrified on the inside, but his face showed no emotion. "I'm very sorry about your mate's restaurant, but if I had won our fight, it would have been destroyed anyway. And don't say that I wouldn't have won, because we both don't know. But I might have won, if a cyclone had come, or maybe a lightning storm, or even if an injured animal had crossed us." In his mind, he thought of all the horrible things Chi Chi could do to him. Oh great. Now I've blown it. Literally. That bitch is probably going to scream at me until I'm deaf, and then she'll probably get Kakarot to beat me up. I will not live after this is finished. I just know it.

They both heard Chi Chi's call Goku flew off towards the Capsule Corp, with Vegeta reluctantly following closely behind him, and Gohan, Videl, Trunks and Goten were not far behind.

"This should get interesting, don't you think so too Goten? I wonder what your mum's going to do to my dad," said Trunks, eager to see what Chi Chi was really capable of, especially since she was able to drive Goten to the point of being a super saiyan.

"I don't know, but my mum's a really good screamer. And she's a good fighter, for a human, that is."

When everybody had arrived at the Capsule Corp, the first thing Chi Chi did was walk up to Vegeta and scream at him. "Vegeta, why the hell did you blow up my restaurant? I know you didn't win the fight with Goku because I was watching. I demand an explanation or I'll get my husband and my two sons to beat you up. It had better be a good reason too."

Vegeta laughed inwardly when he heard Chi Chi's words. Well what do you know. Am I psychic or what? She screamed at me and threatened to beat me up.

Before Vegeta had a chance to answer, Bulma walked up to Chi Chi and gave her a note. Chi Chi read it aloud, and it said, "everyone, remember that I'm still deaf here, so someone had better collect the dragonballs and wish my hearing and Chi Chi's restaurant back." Bulma held the dragonball radar out in her hand and Goku stepped forward to take it.

"Don't worry Bulma, everything will be just fine."

While he went and searched for the dragonballs, Chi Chi and Vegeta were still trying to sort out their problem.

"Look Vegeta, you just had the pleasure of blowing up my restaurant, so I deserve to keep the name Planet Plant when it gets wished back."

"But it's still my property, and I refuse to give it to anyone."

"How about I buy the name off you?" said Chi Chi enticingly. "I'll give you five thousand zeni, not negotiable. Take it or leave it. You can spend it to improve your gravity room. How about it?" That got Vegeta interested. He considered it for a while and then decided it was a fair trade.

"Fine. Five thousand and one zeni. Pay me tomorrow without fail."

It was another five days until Goku had collected all the dragonballs. Goku, Bulma, Chi Chi, Mr. Popo and Piccolo watched Dende as he summoned the dragon. "Eternal Dragon, by your name I summon you forth. Shenron!" The dragon gracefully appeared and looked down at the six and boomed, "choose your words carefully as you speak. I will make two of your wishes true."

Chi Chi stepped forward and said, "Shenron, could you please bring back my restaurant?"

"I can." Shenron's eyes glowed deep red as he granted Chi Chi's wish. Piccolo walked up to the edge of Kami's lookout and watched as Chi Chi's restaurant was being magically rebuilt. When the job was finished Shenron was ready to grant the second wish.

"What is your second wish?"

"Can you please restore Bulma's hearing?"

"Your wish will be granted."

Bulma concentrated hard and started to hear faint noises, and gradually her hearing was fully restored. Chi Chi and Bulma were overjoyed and thanked the dragon.

"You're welcome," Shenron said before he disappeared in a blinding flash of light, and the dragonballs were scattered all over the planet once more.
