"Oh I'm so happy! My restaurant is back!" sang Chi Chi. There had been a lot of angry customers around when they couldn't find Planet Plant. Chi Chi had been extremely busy trying to convince everyone that Planet Plant was closed for renovations and it didn't work, but now she could get back to business with her restaurant.
"I'm just glad I got my hearing back," said Bulma, "being deaf isn't easy, although I think I would have been able to build a hearing device for the deaf. Hey, I might do that, and I could probably win a Nobel prize for that!"
Goku and Chi Chi boarded Bulma's plane, said goodbye to Dende, Piccolo and Mr. Popo, then went back home, dropping Goku and Chi Chi off at the restaurant.
"Well now that the restaurant's back, I'd better tell the others to start work again, and somehow get everyone to know that Planet Plant's back." Chi Chi quickly ran home to ring all her employees, and Goku fetched Goten and the two went off fishing.
Now that Planet Plant was back, everyone went to eat there again. It wasn't long before it was voted the most popular restaurant in the district. Soon the holidays were over and Gohan had to go back to school.
"Bye mum, bye dad, see you Goten," said Gohan as he rode the nimbus to school. I must lead a very interesting life, he thought, school, restaurant, Saiyaman, and not to mention the occasional 'saving the world.' "Yep, there's practically never a dull moment in my life."
Because Gohan had to go back to school again, Chi Chi had to hire another waiter. She put another ad in the paper, and the next day hundreds of applicants had sent letters asking for the job. Chi Chi was amazed when she saw all of them.
"Wow, I never guessed there would be this many applications. This restaurant's doing much better than I expected." Chi Chi picked up the first application form and looked at it. "Oh no, not again! What's wrong with him? He's so persistent! I mean, after I refused him the first time, he came back three more times, and now he's trying again!"
"You mean Olly Voyle? He certainly is weird," commented Bulma.
"It's not fair! I really don't want to employ him," whined Chi Chi.
"You don't have to."
"But this is the fifth time!"
"He must be really desperate."
"Exactly!"
"Then don't employ him."
Chi Chi was in a bad situation. Part of her felt pity for Olly and wanted to employ him, and the other part didn't trust him. A battle raged on inside her, but in the end her cautious part won.
"That's it, I'm not employing Olly. He can try as much as he wants, but it's not going to change my mind," declared Chi Chi. She and Bulma spent the next two hours reading through all the application forms. They finally decided to employ Yamcha and Bulma went to phone him. At that moment Piccolo entered the restaurant and walked towards Chi Chi. Chi Chi greeted him and asked him why he was there.
"I'm not sure why, but I have this weird feeling that something isn't quite right."
"What kind of feeling?"
"I don't know, kind of... evil... just, be careful." Piccolo then went away, leaving Chi Chi puzzled and slightly afraid. She tried to calm down and thought to herself, don't worry Chi Chi, you can handle anything that comes this way, and you have Goku, Gohan and Goten to help.
Two months passed and nothing unusual happened. However, the week after that was a different story. One busy lunchtime a masked man stormed into the restaurant with a gun. He ordered everyone to lie down while he went for the cash register. Chi Chi wasn't that easily scared and stood in front of the robber, hoping that training with Goten had given her enough speed to dodge a bullet,
"Hey you, you're not getting anything from here."
"I think I deserve it. After all, don't you think what you're doing is discrimination?" asked the masked man.
"What do you mean?"
"You're refusing to cooperate. How is it that you can employ someone else in a matter of hours, yet you refuse to accept me. You're superficial, and you know that."
"What are you talking about? Do I know you?"
"Of course you do. Take a guess."
Chi Chi studied the man and thought about what he said. A criminal... I refuse to employ him... could it be? "Olly Voyle?"
"That's right."
