Chapter One: How it began

"GOKU!" Chichi yelled. "Your son is a terror!"

"Aw, Chichi, he's just being a little boy," Goku chuckled.

"Day in and day out I keep busy cooking meals and cleaning the house and keeping Goten out of trouble. Goku, I deserve a break!" she said, throwing her hands in the air for emphasis. "I'm going to call Bulma; I'm sure that she would love to have a girls' night out."

"Yay, we get to spend the day with Dad again!" Goten cheered, causing Chichi to groan. She had forgotten what had happened the last time Goku had been left alone with his two sons. She still hadn't had time to clean all the tomato sauce stains from the ceiling.

"Maybe it would be better if we went somewhere together, Goku," She suggested. "After all, we don't get a lot of time to ourselves."

"Sure Chichi," Goku said. He would agree to anything to keep his wife from another enraged fit.

"Perfect, we'll go out on the town Friday. I'll call Bulma to see if she'll have Goten over for the night." She picked up the phone and dialed Capsule Corp's number.

"Sorry Chichi, but Vegeta and I have to go to a business dinner that night, and we were actually looking for someone to watch Trunks," Bulma answered when Chichi called.

"Maybe we can get Videl to watch them both," Chichi said thoughtfully.

"Mom! Videl and I have plans already," Gohan protested.

"Well then, that's out," she sighed. "Who could we possibly get to watch two half-Saiya-jin horrors?"

"Videl and I can ask around school tomorrow," Gohan said. "We'll find someone, I'm sure."

~Next day~

"Sure, I know who'll do it," Videl said after a moment's consideration. "My friend Jasmine baby-sits and I'm sure that she can handle even those two."

"How can you say that? You've babysat the brats and you know how much trouble they can be," Gohan said doubtfully.

"Trust me Gohan, Jasmine has five younger siblings and she takes care of all of them at once. I'm sure she knows what she's doing."

"I'm going to trust you on this Videl, but you had better warn her first."

"And tell her what? That they're half alien? They have super powers? I don't think so." Videl shook her head.

"Just tell her they're big trouble," Gohan sighed. "I guess that's the best we can do."

They approached the girl right after school. "Hey, Jasmine!" Videl waved. She wasn't at all what Gohan had expected from Videl's description of her personality. Videl had said she was a real tough girl who could've been a fighter if she wanted to be, a no-nonsense kind of babysitter. The girl in front of him wore her long red hair in two ponytails on top of her head and a cutesy t-shirt with jean shorts. She didn't look tough at all.

"Hey Videl, what's up?" she greeted her friend.

"Are you free this Friday?" Videl asked, getting straight to the point. "Gohan's mom and her friend are looking for a babysitter for their two boys, but Gohan and I have plans."

"Sure," Jasmine agreed. "I have nothing else to do. How old are the kids?"

"Seven and eight," Gohan offered. "But be warned, Jasmine, they're a real handful."

"Don't worry, I've got plenty of experience with rambunctious kids that age," she said, waving off his warning nonchalantly. "I'm sure I can handle it."

"He's not kidding Jas," Videl said with a frown. "I've babysat them; they're troublemakers."

"Don't worry about it, honestly," Jasmine said, waving it off once again. "Have the parents get in touch with me; here's my number so they can call." She handed a slip of paper to Videl and waved goodbye. She had a ride to catch.

~That evening~

"You mean I'm gonna have a new babysitter, Gohan? Is she nice?" Goten pestered his brother. "Will I like her? How long will she be here? Will she feed us? Is she fun?"

"I can't answer all your questions, Goten," the older Son brother answered. "But she seems nice, I think you'll like her, and of course she'll feed you."

"I'm sure she'll do a fine job if Videl recommends her," Chichi assured Goten. "After all, you like it when Videl baby-sits."

"I'm sure you'll have tons of fun," Goku said. "After all, Trunks will be there too.

~The same time, Capsule Corp~

"You mean I have to be stuck with some new girl?" Trunks whined. "She'll probably be a real bitch."

"Trunks! What have I told you about using that language?!" Bulma scolded. "Besides, Videl and Gohan like her, I'm sure she'll be wonderful!"

"What was the girl's name again?" Vegeta grunted.

"They said her name was Jasmine," she replied.

"Where will we be going?" Trunks asked.

"You'll get into far less trouble at the Sons' house," his mother answered. "Less places to hide, fewer fragile things to break, and more outside to run around in."

"Can I take some of my toys?"

"You won't need them. You never play with them when you go over there. You will go, you will behave, and if I hear otherwise you will be grounded for a month!"

"Yes Mom." Trunks went up to his room to sulk.
