Chapter 5: Problems Ensue

Chi-Chi stared at Cheena, still in shock as she rendered the words Cheena just said in her head.

*Did she just say what I think she just said?* Chi-Chi asked herself as she stared at Cheena. Cutting her eyes to the side, Cheena sighed as she walked to the couch and sat down.

"Cheena, do you know what you just said?" Chi-Chi asked. Closing her eyes, Cheena sighed once again as she nodded her head. Chi-Chi's mouth hung open as Cheena started to speak.

"It was hard for me to say and I don't want it to happen but if it's the only way to keep you out of my business then I have no other choice" she said.


"So you'd give up your own wedding just so I won't run it? Are you crazy?" Chi-Chi yelled. Opening her eyes, Cheena looked at her mom.

"You're one to ask me if I'm crazy when you're the one who made me choose?" she asked.

"You weren't suppose to pick the second choice" Chi-Chi said.

"Why not? You're the one who gave me two choices and I made up my mind" Cheena said.


"No you've lost your mind" Chi-Chi said as she turned away from Cheena.

"You're one to talk" Cheena muttered to herself. Hearing what she said, Chi-Chi turned towards her.

"With that attitude of yours…you know what, I don't care. I get to save money now and my time" she said. Folding her arms across her chest, Cheena smirked.

"You could of saved your time a long time ago since I never asked for your help" she said.

"Well, I'm glad you won't be marrying Trunks again" Chi-Chi said. Cheena's smirk faded away as she stared at her mother.

"What?" she said. Chi-Chi smiled as she looked at Cheena.

"Well, now you'll remain a Son and the family name will live on" Chi-Chi said. Quickly making her way to her feet, Cheena stared at her mother in shock.

"Why do I have a feeling that you've been thinking about that for awhile now?" she asked.

"Because I have. You're a Son. You've always been a Son and now you will remain a Son" Chi-Chi said. Cheena had a scowl on her face as she walked over and stood face to face with her mother.

"You have totally gone mad" she said. Chi-Chi was about to speak when the door opened up.

"Hey, we're back" Goten yelled as he walked in followed by everyone else. Cheena growled slightly as she walked away from her mother and stood to the side with her arms folded across her chest. Walking into the living room, Goten sat down and looked at Cheena.

"You two done talking?" he asked. Cheena turned away from him as she brushed her hair out of her face. Glancing over at his mother, Goten looked at everyone else who was glancing at the two as well.

"Chi-Chi, how did the conversation go?" Bulma asked as she sat down on the couch. Chi-Chi smiled as she looked at Bulma.

"It went well, very well to be exact" she said. Everyone smiled as they looked at Chi-Chi.

"That's great. So now you two won't have any more problems" Goku said.

"Well Cheena and Trunks might have a problem" Chi-Chi said as she sat down next to Bulma.

"Why would we have a problem?" Trunks asked as he looked at Chi-Chi then over to Cheena.

"Ask Cheena since she's the one who called off the wedding" Chi-Chi said. All eyes were on Cheena as soon as Chi-Chi finished speaking.

"Cheena?" Goten said as he stared at her. Sighing, Cheena looked at everyone. Throwing her hands in the air, she quickly brought it back to her side.

"It's true" she said. Everyone looked either at her or one another in complete shock. Walking over to Cheena, Trunks just stared at her.

"Why did you do that? What happened?" he asked. Cheena sighed again as she placed her hand on her forehead.


"Because she lost it" Chi-Chi yelled. Glancing at her mother, Cheena rolled her eyes.

"Cheena, how could you do that? Why would you call off your own wedding?" Miyuki asked.

"And without even talking to me? What happened? Is it something I did?" Trunks asked as he continued to stare at Cheena.

"No, you did nothing wrong…" Cheena said.

"Then what happened?" Trunks asked.

"You don't want to get married anymore Cheena?" Bulma asked as she looked over at Cheena. Trunks looked at his mother then back at Cheena.

"Is that it?" he asked. Shaking her head no, Cheena walked away from Trunks and behind the couch that occupied Goten, Miyuki, Risika and Pan.

"Mom gave me two choices and I made my decision" she said.


"What where the choices?" Risika asked as she looked at Chi-Chi.

"She either had to let me plan the wedding or call it off" Chi-Chi said.

"And you chose to call off the wedding?" Trunks asked as he stared at Cheena. Cheena sighed as she looked at her mother.

"You make it sound like it was that simple when you know it wasn't. All we did was stand here and yell back and forth when you came up with those stupid ultimatums. How could you even make me chose, I'm still trying to figure that out" she yelled.

"Che, why didn't you choose to just let your mom help you with the wedding?" Miyuki asked.

"Because she didn't want to help me with the wedding, she wanted to take it over. She said I was incapable to run my own wedding since I'm only 23" Cheena replied.

"Chi-Chi, I'm sure Cheena would do a great job if she planned her wedding" Videl said.

"Not according to her Videl. I only made that choice because I knew what she wanted. She made me chose because she knew I would never say that the wedding is off. She knew that! I saw that stupid smirk on her face and I knew what she was thinking" Cheena said.

"So is the wedding off or not?" Goten asked. Cheena glared at her mother before shaking her head no.

"But it should be on account of how mom doesn't want me to marry Trunks anyway" Cheena said. All the attention quickly shifted towards Chi-Chi. Cheena smirked as she folded her arms across her chest.

*Let's see how she likes the pressure on her now?* Cheena said to herself.

"Chi-Chi, is that true?" Goku asked as he stared at his wife. Chi-Chi was about to speak when Cheena cut her off.

"Are you going to tell them or do you want me to? Do you want me to tell them that the only reason you don't want me to marry Trunks is because you want me to keep my last name" she said.

"Chi-Chi? Is that true?" Bulma asked as she turned towards Chi-Chi. Cheena smirked as she looked at her mom. Chi-Chi noticed the look on Cheena's face and immediately stood up.

"What does it matter since the wedding is off anyway" she said.

"It's not off but you running it is. I do not need your help with this. I never have and I never will" Cheena yelled.

"Then you're wedding will be a disaster" Chi-Chi said. Cheena growled as she held onto the back of the chair and glared at her mother.

"Then it will be my disaster, not yours" Cheena yelled.

"Look, why don't we all cool down a bit" Gohan asked as he looked at his mother and sister.

"Tell her to cool down. She thinks she can talk to me any way she wants to. I won't stand for that as long as she lives in this house." Chi-Chi yelled as she glared at Cheena.

"Well I'd be more then happy to move out of this house if I can move far away from you" Cheena said. Chi-Chi growled as she stared at Cheena.

"You think you're so smart, that you've got everything figured out" she said.

"And you think I will do what you want me to do. I'm not a little kid anymore. You know what? I wish you would just shut your mouth. I wish you're mouth was permanently shut for good" Cheena yelled back. Chi-Chi glared at Cheena who glared right back at her.

"That's it! I want nothing more to do with this wedding" Chi-Chi said.

"Now that's what I want to hear" Cheena said with a smile.

"As of right now, I will not help you with the wedding, nor will I attend the wedding and if I don't go then neither does Goku or Goten" Chi-Chi said.


"What!" Goten and Cheena said at the same time.

"Chi-Chi, why can't I or Goten go?" Goku asked as he looked at her. Folding her arms across her chest, Chi-Chi smiled.

"Because I said so" she said. Cheena growled as she narrowed her eyes in her mother's direction.

"Fine, I don't need you at my wedding" she said.

"Che, you don't mean that" Trunks said. Looking at him, Cheena smirked.

"You think I don't? She doesn't want to come then she doesn't have to come. You won't have Goten as your best man and dad won't walk me down the aisle. Its as simple as that" she said.


"But Cheena, what are you going to do when you go down the aisle?" Risika asked.

"I'll go down by myself. I've seen it done on t.v. before so I'm going to do it" Cheena replied.

"Cheena, this is ridiculous. I'll be at your wedding and so will mom and dad" Goten said.

"No we won't" Chi-Chi said. Everyone looked at her, including Cheena.

"I don't want you at my wedding anyway. You'll probley destroy it with that big mouth of yours. I wonder if you even know how to shut up" she said.

"Cheena!" Gohan yelled as he looked at her. Cheena rolled her eyes as she looked away from everyone.

"You know what, I don't have time for this" Chi-Chi said as she pushed past Goku and left the house.

"Good riddance, maybe I can actually hear myself think without hearing your loud mouth" Cheena yelled as she folded her arms across her chest.

"Cheena, don't you think you're out of line?" Bulma asked.

"No, not in anyway. I'm telling her exactly what's on my mind. Keeping everything inside is what started all this in the first place" Cheena said.

"It still puzzles me that the reason she doesn't want you to marry Trunks is because of a last name?" Miyuki said as she stared at Cheena.

"That's what she said. I was born a Son and that's how I should remain. She's lost it" Cheena snapped.

"Well you could always keep your last name" Videl said. Cheena quickly looked at her and shook her head no.

"I'm not doing what she wants. It's the way life goes, you know, boys will carry the family name down to their families and girls will take the name of their husbands. That's the way it is to me and no one is changing my mind about that" she said.

"Maybe I should go out there and talk to her" Goku said as he looked at the front door. Cheena laughed as she looked at him.

"I bet you won't get a word in edge wise against her" she said.

"Che, don't you think you're being a little hard on your mom?" Risika asked. Cheena shook her head no and smiled.

"Its what she deserves if you ask me. She's been a pain in my side for the longest and now I finally told her exactly what I thought and I'm happy with that" she said.

"But she did just want to help you out with this wedding" Gohan said.

"Oh so now you're taking her side?" Cheena asked. Gohan was about to speak when the sound of a car starting up cut her off.

"What is that?" Risika asked. Cheena narrowed her eyes as she ran to the window to see her car tail lights on.

"That sounds like a thief to me" she yelled as she ran towards the front door. Everyone followed after her to see Cheena's car take off.

"Get back here!" Cheena yelled as she stared at her car.

"I wonder where mom is going?" Goten asked. Cheena clenched her fists at her side as she stared off into the direction her car just went.

"I don't care where she went, she stole my car" she said.

"You know she'll bring it back Cheena" Gohan said. Cheena folded her arms across her chest as she looked at him.

"I hope she doesn't come back" she said.

"Cheena, don't say that" Miyuki said. Cheena laughed as she looked at her.

"Too late" she said with a smirk on her face.

"Well someone should go after her, whose it going to be?" Videl said. Goku was about to speak when Cheena raised her hand.

"I'll do it" she said with a smile on her face.

"No, I think you should take a rest and chill out" Goten said.

"And I think you should mind your business and let me handle this. It is my car we are talking about" Cheena said.

"Cheena, we're talking about bringing mom back, not your stupid car" Goten snapped. Cheena growled as she walked over to him.

"Fine, you go get her and I go get the car" she said. Goku quickly walked beside Goten and looked at Cheena.

"No, you go and get your mother and forget about that car since it was you who made her leave" he said. Folding her arms across her chest, Cheena looked away from him.

"I didn't make her do anything. She left on her own accord" she said.

"Either way, just bring her back here so we can all sit down and discuss this" Goku said. Cheena growled slightly before she looked at him. He had his eyes narrowed and his arms folded across his chest. Sighing, she took off into the air.

*Just my luck to have to bring her back. I just wanted to get my car* she said to herself as she flew off in search of her mother and the car.

Parked on the side of the road, Chi-Chi sat back in Cheena's car and just sighed.

"That child is so ungrateful and where did she get that attitude of hers?" she asked herself. Looking down, she spotted the radio dial. Turning it on, she sat back and listened as slow music started to play.

"I just need to clear my head and stay away from her" she said as she shut her eyes. Just then she heard loud tapping on the passenger side window. Looking over, she growled as she saw Cheena open the car door and climb in.

"What do you think you're doing?" Cheena yelled.

"Get out of this car" Chi-Chi yelled back. Cheena laughed as she looked at her mother.

"Excuse me? Isn't this my car? It sure looks like it" Cheena said sarcastically. Chi-Chi growled as she started the car once again. Looking at the keys, Cheena went to grab it but Chi-Chi smacked her hand away.

"Don't touch" she said.

"Who are you to tell me not to touch the keys to my own car. Now get out of my car and let's go. Dad is making me bring you back so we can all talk about this" Cheena said.

"There is nothing left for us to discuss" Chi-Chi said as she glared at Cheena.

"You try telling dad that but I'm not trying to hear his mouth. I've already had to deal with you tonight and I'm not trying to deal with him as well, now get out" Cheena yelled.

"You do not tell me what to do" Chi-Chi yelled.

"Look, I don't have time to play games with you. Get out of my car right now" Cheena yelled. Chi-Chi smirked as she folded her arms across her chest.

"No" she said. Cheena narrowed her eyes as she glared at her mother. Climbing out of the car, Cheena slammed the door shut then walked over to the drivers side of the car. Pulling at the door, she found that it was locked.

"Unlock this door and get out of my car" she yelled. Chi-Chi stared at her daughter with a smirk on her face.

"I don't find a thing funny so get out of my car and don't think I won't rip this door off cause I will" Cheena yelled.

"Would you?" Chi-Chi asked uninterested.

"Mom, you are really trying my patience, now get out of my car" Cheena said through clenched teeth. Chi-Chi rolled her eyes as she stared straight ahead.

"Fine, I don't care anymore" Cheena said as she moved away from the car. Chi-Chi smiled as she took off down the road.

"Go ahead! You are so stubborn! Don't ever come back! See if I care!" Cheena yelled as she turned away. Clenching her fists at her side, she slowly started to shake.

"That woman is impossible. She thinks she knows everything when she doesn't know anything. I'm not her keeper and I'm not going after her" Cheena said as she folded her arms across her chest. Seconds from taking off towards home, Cheena stopped as she heard a loud crash.

"What was that?" she asked as she turned around. She saw what looked like smoke in the distance.

*I better go check that out* she said to herself as she flew towards the scene. As the smoke came into her view, Cheena's mouth dropped at what she saw. Two cars were completely mangled. One was flipped over while the other was laying on its side.

"This is bad" she said as she landed in the street. Going over to the car that was its side, she looked to see a man behind the wheel.

"Are you ok sir?" she asked. The man looked at her and nodded his head.


"That stupid woman made a u-turn in the middle of the street. How stupid could she be?" he yelled as he placed his hand on the back of his neck. Pulling his door open, Cheena pulled him out the car.

"I'm going to call someone to help you then I'm going to go check on the other car" she said as she unclipped her phone from her waist and dialed up the cops. She told them where she was and that they should hurry. Hanging the phone up, Cheena was about to put it away when it rung.

"It can't be the cops" she said as she answered the call.

C: Hello?

G: Did you find her yet?

C: Goten, I don't have time to talk to you right now. I have a situation

G: What kind of situation and where is mom?

C: I don't know but I'm at a car accident now and I'm trying to…

G: Cheena? You there?


C: Goten…I'll call you back

Before Goten could say another word, Cheena hung up the phone. Her mouth was wide open as she stared at the car in front of her.

*Please tell me that's not my car. Please* she said slowly to herself as she made her way over to the car. The closer she came to the car, the more faster her breathing went. Standing in front of the car, Cheena looked in to see a person with their head on the wheel.

*Please don't let this be who I think it is* she said to herself as she quickly ran over and pulled the door off. Reaching in, she pulled the person out and laid them on the ground. Biting her bottom lip, Cheena rolled the person over and gasped.

"Mom…MOM!" she yelled as she stared down at her unconscious mother who seemingly wasn't moving at all.
