I'm baaack! You guys can decide if that's a good or bad thing.

Vegeta: it's bad. YOU MADE ME LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT!!

Me: *stares at him* um…he did it? *Points to my brother*

Vegeta: fine then! *Runs after my brother*

Me: *blinks* anyway…on with the story!!

Chapter9: on the run again

Vegeta and Goku were wondering round the city now. They had been separated from the women and had decided it was better to just wonder round then go through anymore shopping. That and Vegeta thought that they could use the kids as an excuse when they found them.

"Vegeta, I'm hungry! Can we please take a break?" Goku asked for the twelfth time.

"For the last time, Kakarot, NO! Now try and think where you would run off to if you were one of the brats." Goku thought for a second then grinned.

"A restaurant!" Goku exclaimed, making Vegeta's eye twitch before he gave Goku a smack on the head.

"Baka! Would you stop thinking about your stomach for one second and concentrate!" Vegeta yelled before hearing something. He could hear the sound of children's laughter & quickly glanced around. Somehow, without realising it, they had walked out of the shopping centre and had somehow gotten to a small park. (Gee, imagine that…:P) Vegeta grabbed Goku's arm and pulled him towards it. They quickly glanced around & spotted some kids that looked like theirs & walked towards them, Vegeta dragging Goku to prevent him running off to another hotdog stand.

"Brat!" Vegeta yelled making all three look up and go white. The three exchanged nervous glances before jumping off their swing and backing away nervously.

"Stay where you are!" Vegeta yelled; he was trying to make them stay so he could keep an eye on them and stop the 'woman' from taking away is meal and training privileges.

"Why are you three out here?" he asked.

"Um…because Gohan was busy & said we could?" Trunks lied.

"I always knew he was a bad babysitter…" Vegeta mumbled.

"He's not a bad babysitter," Zara started, knowing what would happen if Gohan couldn't watch them "He was a little stuck after training and, um, needed us to come here and get something…?" Zara said, unsure if that was believable. Goku nodded and said that they could all go home and eat then but Vegeta stopped him.

"Stuck with what?"

"Err…Trunks, care to fill that one in?" he turned and sighed.

"His big head got stuck in a tree." Trunks said, shrugging. The grownups stared at them.

"He's stuck in a tree?" the chibis nodded.

"Then why did he send you here?" Vegeta asked. All three kids looked at each other, trying to think of something.

"I'm waiting." Said Vegeta whilst frowning. Zara stared up at him.

"Hang on a minute, what are you two doing away from Ms Chichi & Bulma?" she asked with a sly smile.

"Looking for you of course." Vegeta said, still frowning.

"Do they know that?"

"Err…"

Back at the shop where Bulma and Chichi were:

"Is it just me or is it a bit quiet?" Bulma asked.

"I don't know, I haven't heard any complaining for a while…" Chichi answered her friend before they both shrugged it off and carried on looking through the shirts.

Back at the park:

"Err…we may not have mentioned it…" Vegeta said. The kids exchanged smirks before looking back at Vegeta.

"You know Bulma is gonna close off the GR now…"

"And threaten your food…"

"And Mom's gonna cut off all of your food as well dad…"

"Since you did just run away…"

"Leaving them to carry the bags…"

"And to get back by themselves…"

"And then just not come back for ages." All three said, finishing each other's sentences. The grownups starred down at them nervously.

"She wouldn't dare…" Vegeta said

"Don't be so sure dad, she did it before…" Trunks replied.

"But we were just…" Goku stuttered.

"You didn't tell them…" Goten smirked. The grownups shuffled.

"Well then, we better get our story straight so they don't do that then. You don't get us in trouble and let Gohan be the babysitter and we'll try and make Bulma and Chichi go easy on you." Zara said, smirking as well.

"Why should we? You ran away from Gohan & we didn't tell them because we didn't want to disturb them from their shopping ritual. Besides, it'll be worth losing food to see what happens to you. You deserve it after this!" Vegeta said, jerking his thumb at the 'bad man' shirt.

"But that was him/her!" both Zara and Trunks yelled out, pointing at each other. Vegeta raised an eyebrow & Goku was whining slightly over the thought of no more cooked meals.

"I don't care who did it! I just want to see some punishment for it! So I'm going to take you back to your mothers now!" the boys gulped & Zara started backing away.

"Well, that can't include me since my mother is in space somewhere after all…" she started.

"Not so fast! You're going to the woman…I mean Bulma." Zara stopped backing up & gulped as well.

"Yea, well, you'll have to catch us first!" She cried before taking to the air. Vegeta growled and chased after her and the boys got the same idea and quickly flew off as well. Goku chased after the boys while Vegeta chased after Zara.

Meanwhile, back at the Son residence, Gohan had just gotten back. He went into the lounge, scratching his arms where the poison ivy had touched and collapsed on the sofa.

"Sure is quiet. Wonder where everyone is…" he thought, nearly going to sleep. His eyes suddenly burst open.

"The kids!" he yelled as he jumped up & ran out of the door. He looked franticly around and couldn't see them anywhere.

"Oh man! Mom is so gonna kill me!" he yelled before sensing something in the city."

"Looks like I found them. I better get them back before mom gets here." He gulped at the thought of the frying pan coming out and flew towards the city.

Back in the park, the kids were flying as fast as they could with the grownups easily catching up. Vegeta put on a burst of speed & managed to grab one of Zara's pig tails. This was a bad move because immediately her eyes went red & she electrocuted him. He let go and held his hand as she shock her head.

"What did you do that for, brat!"

"Why'd you grab my hair!"

"Who cares? Just come over here!"

"Um…NO!" she disappeared. Goku was having trouble as well. The boys had split up and Trunks had gotten away. Goten was flying through some trees, making his dad to get hit in the head by branches.

"Ow! Goten! Get over here! All I want is to get this over with so I can have a hotdog!" Goten stopped.

"Did you say hotdog? Can we get one? Please, daddy, please!" he begged. Goku thought about it and they both landed to get a hotdog.

Zara appeared in front of Trunks and he crashed into her.

"Err…hi? Now what?"

"We get Goten and go back to his house."

"Ok, but where is he?" they looked round and spotted him with his dad stuffing a hotdog in his face and grinning.

"Grr, GOTEN! Get over here, now!" Goten looked up and nodded and quickly ran over, waving bye to his dad. Goku watched, trying to talk through his hotdog.

"No, wait! Come back!" He called, but it was to late. Goten had grabbed onto Zara's shoulder and all three of them had disappeared again.

"Great, now I'm in trouble…" he said as Vegeta came over, starring at where the kids had been.

"Baka! You let them get away! AGAIN!" he yelled, smacking Goku over the head again.

"Ow! Sorry Vegeta…so, do you want to go spar in the GR until our wives kill us?" Vegeta thought then nodded & they flew off.

Where Gohan is, Zara & the others appeared above him & fell onto him, causing him to fall down. They all managed to stop just above the ground and Gohan jumped upright straight away.

"Where were you three?" he yelled. They starred at him.

"Looking for Marron, where were you?" Zara asked. After all, she had been looking for her at some point.

"Yea, and what happened to you?" Trunks asked as he starred at the rash from the poison ivy. Gohan went silent then mumbled something about a 'crazy 5 year-old'.

"Lets just get back! I don't want to think about what mom'll do if we're not there and the house is still a mess…" the others quickly nodded and they all flew back to the house.

A/n: I can't think of anything else so I'll leave it here. Next time you'll see what an angry Chichi is like. May have to turn it into a horror story if I put it in though…

Chichi: WHAT!!

Me: um…nothing…it was him! *Points to a random wall*

Chichi: err…right…¬_¬;

Me: ok! Well…err…I'm done…so…bye!
