A/N:  *gasp* Lexi actually got around to writing another chapter!!!  O.o` shall wonders never cease?

T-chan: *rolls eyes* Knowing you… I don't think we should answer that.

Lexi: I resent that.

T-chan: *raises an eyebrow* isn't that the point?

Lexi: No.  *turns to her faithful readers* I'm really sorry that this took so long in coming out; not only did I have serious writer's block, I was also busy with my other stories, school just started, and I had to start looking at some different college options…

T-chan: *snickers* why do I not feel sorry for you?

Lexi: 'cause you're an insensitive jerk?

T-chan: …I wont deny that…

Disclaimer:  *sighs* I own many things, yet nothing at all.  For example- I own Iiryn.  I also own her name.  I own her child.  I own Erasa's child.  I own Jack Squat, too. 

Now we'll have a little pop quiz:

According to this list, does Lexi-sama own DB/Z/GT?  Simple yes or no answer…  If you can't answer this question, you don't deserve the title of Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fanatic.

Oh yeah!  What did you guys think of Xan?  (I couldn't resist sticking one of my nicknames on a character… ^^) She wont play a big role at all, she'll just be there at the wedding, not to mention someone to thrust the babysitting duties on… ^^;

*

Videl grinned as she and Gohan began opening their gifts.  Piccolo had collected all 7 Dragon Balls for them, while Dende promised perfect weather on their wedding day.  Tien and Chautsu offered a capsule car; latest model and quite the rage at high school.  Launch gave a shy offer of babysitting and generally helping out, which Videl gratefully accepted.  Vegeta made a grunted offer to 'train the brat', which caused Gohan to raise an eyebrow, though he still accepted cautiously.  Gyu Mao gave them a healthy amount of gold to help fund their wedding, which elicited enthusiastic thanks on the parts of the teens, as well as a delighted glomp from his daughter.  Oolong and Pu'ar had teemed up to buy two tickets for a nice week long cruise as part of their honeymoon, much to the delight of Videl- though Gohan couldn't quite grasp the concept… 

Finally there was a brief lull in the flow of gifts and thanks, as all eyes were drawn once again to Shin, who merely smirked mischievously. 

A sudden commotion at the door caused everyone to spin around, all hoping that it would be Chibi returning with the mysterious gift.  To everyone's intense disappointment, it was only Master Roshi bearing Turtle and carrying a gift, wrapped in yesterday's comics. 

"Hey gang!  Sorry I'm a bit late…" Ignoring the disappointed looks from everyone else, he waddled up to Videl, smirking 'sexily'.  "Hello there pretty miss… These Saiya-jins sure know how to pick 'em!" 

Videl glared at him, causing Master Roshi to tremble slightly and begin having second thoughts on his gift…  Oh well, it was too late now, Videl had already retrieved it from his shaking hands, curious as to what the old pervert might have brought.  Upon catching sight of the contents, she turned bright red, whirling on the old martial artist. 

"Why you…" Brandishing her brand new Frying Pan, she dropped the box and proceeded to beat the living daylights out of Roshi.  Curious to see what had elicited this reaction, Gohan picked up the package and pulled out the offending gift.  Krillin and Yamcha immediately began catcalling at the sight of the skimpy black lingerie being held aloft. 

Realizing what her mate had done, Videl left off beating Roshi long enough to whirl and whack Gohan's hand, causing him to drop the offending garment, then to whap both Krillin and Yamcha.  The older women watched on in amusement: she was a fast learner! 

"Hi everyone!"

Everyone froze before turning slowly to face the door, not daring to believe their ears.  But there he was, halo and all…

"GOKU!!!"

Suddenly there was a collective rush for the doorway where a grinning Chibi stood proudly beside Goku.  Chichi was the first to launch herself at her beloved mate, quickly followed by Gohan.  No less then .2 seconds later, the trio was joined by Bulma and Krillin.  The others approached at a far more dignified rate, though come they did: even Vegeta.  …Though that was more to challenge the baka then to greet him… Yes, of course that was it… (^^)

Standing uncertainly by the pile of discarded gift wrap, Videl watched in silence as the friends of her chosen mate surrounded the newcomer.  Her father-in-law.  No, make that her dead father-in-law…  Sure she had come to accept the fact that these strange people could raise their friends from the dead, but to see one standing in a physical form while still dead was rather unnerving… 

~So this is what Chibi meant when she said she was bringing Goku back for a visit… I should have guessed.~

Chibi watched the reunion with a smirk, then backed away to give them more room.  Walking over to where her mate and friend were standing, she floated up to sling an arm around Videl's shoulder. 

"So V-chan, what else did you get?"  With a grin, Videl launched into an account of her gifts, much to the amusement of Chibi, who merely sat back and listened.

Gohan couldn't believe it: His dad was back!  Sure it was only going to be for a little while, certainly not permanent, but it was awesome just the same!  He grinned, hugging his dad, pure joy written over his features. 

~@ Thanks Chibi-chan… This really means a lot to me. @~

~@ No shit Sherlock.  I knew that when I first decided to do it!  Later I'm going to have to tell you about my little stunt…@~  Chibi smirked threw their bond, and heard Gohan chuckle a bit on the other end before she backed away to give him more privacy.  Turning back to Videl, she grinned.

"That reminds me Videl- That Goku stunt was more a gift for Gohan and all the Z fighters… I haven't given you anything yet."

Videl blushed slightly.  "Gee Chibi, thanks…"

Chibi gave a cheeky grin, and closed her eyes to concentrate.  A sudden loud pop drew everyone's attention to the beautifully wrapped gift that was now floating in the air in front of Chibi.  Chibi smirked, plucking the package out of the air and winking at Shin.

"There luv, satisfied?"  Shin nodded, for reasons unknown to any but the pair, and Chibi turned to Videl and held out the package. 

"There ya go Videl- a very special gift for my two best friends from me and Shin!"

Videl grinned and sat down – something told her that she didn't want to drop this package…  Not to mention the fact she'd need two hands to open it… ^^

Tugging off the lid, Videl's jaw dropped and her eyes bugged out.  She had never seen anything like these before.  Feeling her awe, Gohan separated himself from his dad long enough to go and look over her shoulder.  What he saw there was enough to make even him kneel down reverently.

Chibi giggled gleefully as the rest of the Z gang gathered around to see.  Still in shock, Videl carefully reached in and drew out the object that had stolen her breath.  It was a sword, beautifully made and perfectly balanced.  The hilt was simple enough – white leather was wrapped tightly around the handle, the grip already fit exactly to Videl's hands.  There was a simple yet elegant design embossed in gold on the leather that also went up onto the blade itself.  This alone was enough to take one's breath, but the blade itself was what really made one's heart stop.  It was made of pure diamond: unbreakable, beautiful, and razor sharp.  The diamond flashed as the lights hit it, refracting into thousands of rainbows.  It was designed to blind and confuse an enemy, yet was imbued with magic to keep it from doing the same to the wielder or friends.  It was so stunningly beautiful, yet far from impractical.

Videl had quite literally stopped breathing, and it took several mental and physical jabs from Chibi to remind her to take another breath.  The blade had a similar effect on Gohan, as well as all those present.  Even the non-fighters appreciated it's undeniable beauty and grace. 

In the back of the group, Vegeta felt his throat tighten with envy, even more so when Gohan made a sudden noise and scooped up a second sword, obviously designed for himself.  This one was very similar, yet altogether different.  Instead of white leather with golden embossing, this sword was wrapped in black leather with silver embossing in the same pattern.  But those weren't the only differences- no, this one was longer and heavier, designed for Gohan's grip and strength. 

More noticeable than any other variance, was the blade.  It too was diamond, but it was translucent black, yet it too captured the light and reflected it into thousands of rainbows.

So caught up in the awe inspiring beauty, yet cunningly deadly weapons, the new couple failed to notice that there was still something left in the box. 

Looking over his son's shoulder, Goku noticed a similarly sparkling item still in the simple cardboard box- not to mention a few not so shiny things, as well.

"Hey guys, there's more!"

Everyone's jaw dropped as Videl reached in and carefully pulled out a tiny, child-sized replica of a combination of her and Gohan's swords – clear diamond blade, black wrapped grip, and an intertwining pattern of gold and silver.  A small chuckle escaped Krillin's mouth, and soon the entire group was smiling at the newly engaged couple's blush.

Trying to hide her burning cheeks, Videl reached once more into the box and pulled out three sheaths.  They were a simple design made with leather that matched the color scheme of the given sword.  They were elegant in their simplicity, and Gohan felt his blush grow as he read the simple embossing job on all three… good thing he was the only Z fighter who could read Chibi's language…

Chibi grinned happily at the reactions of her friends, especially Gohan's mock glare at the message she had left for him.  The trio of swords had taken a tremendous amount of effort for her to make, and she was pleased to see that it was well worth it. 

Placing a hand on her own abdomen, she sighed, wondering what it would be like to have a kid of her own…  She had long since decided that she wanted her child to grow up with friends it's own age, and was planning on spending quite a bit of time on Earth with Videl, Gohan, and now Erasa and Sharpener as well. 

Shaking her head slightly, she focused back on the gathering of friends as they continued to marvel at her works of art before Chichi suddenly announced it was time to eat- causing all of them to disappear into the kitchen in favor of food. 

Settling down at the table, thoughts of children still hanging in the back of her mind, it occurred to Chibi to wander where Goten, Trunks, and Marron had gotten off to.  The more she thought about it, the more concerned she became, until she finally left the table in search of them.

~What on earth could those three be up to?~

It would take some sort of mischive of Earth shattering proportions to keep two chibi demi Saiya-jins from their food… And where there was mischief, there went Chibi!

A/N: Okay, I realize that was painfully short, but I promise you that I wont be nearly as long with this next chapter!

T-chan: *smirks* yeah, I'll make sure… *evil grin*

Lexi: *rolls eyes* suuuuure you will T-chan…

T-chan: *shrugs* you'll see…

Lexi: *rolls eyes again, then turns to the readers* So- what did you think of this chapter (other then that it was sooooo short)?

T-chan: *drools* I want a sword like that…

Lexi: *smirks* really? So do i.  I don't even know where I get some of the ideas I have… but this was one that I've had in my head for a really long time- though not necessarily DBZ, but oh well… ^^

One more thing before you scamper off to review – I want to let you know that not only does the next chapter have the chibis in it, I can also promise plenty of random character torture from here on out… and not the usual Gohan, either. ^^ *smirks evilly* Basically an overview of the rest of the (rather long) party is that Chibi teams up with the kids, and they'll play various tricks on various characters – all of which I promise will be original! ^~

Enjoy the rest of your morning/day/night whatever… and review if it pleaseth you! ^^ (for it pleaseth me and goads me into writing^~)
