"So, Mizu," Chichi began, placing the last plate on the table. "How did you and Goku meet?"
"Oh, Bulma introduced us." Mizu replied. She looked at Goku. "Right?"
"Yeah, I know her through Bulma." Goku muffled, already stuffing his face with food. Chichi and Goku were sat opposite each other at the ends of the dinner table. On Goku's left hand side was Mizu, and opposite her, on Goku's right, was Frieza. Next to Frieza was Lavender and next to Trunks was Goten. Trunks was opposite Lavender, and they sat glaring at each other like they'd been enemies for life. Well, in a way, they had. Both of them were on their father's side, which caused a lot of hate and friction between the two. Goten tried to stay neutral, not wanted to hurt his friend's father or the friend of his own father. Chichi felt almost the same. After what he'd done to her husband and friends, Chichi hated Frieza. She hated just having him in her HOUSE, let alone serving him dinner. But, she'd heard Goku and Bulma mention Mizu before. She knew it would hurt Goku to be aggressive towards Mizu, and besides, Mizu herself and Lavender seemed okay. Although Lavender did seem a bit unfriendly towards the saiyans....
But it was mainly just Frieza alone Chichi couldn't stand.
"Hey, Mizu," Goku's words were a little clearer. Just a little. "Do you still practice black magic? And what about martial arts? Last time I saw you you were training to use a sword, right?"
"Black magic?" Goten looked at Mizu. "Are you a witch or something?"
"Witch?!" Frieza stood up and glared angrily across the table at him angrily. "Why, you naive little -"
"Frieza!" Mizu chuckled. "Calm down, he didn't mean any harm."
"Witches don't exist, anyway." Frieza mumbled, sitting down.
"Of course they do!" Lavender protested. "There are good witches and bad witches."
"Good and ba -" Frieza jerked his head towards Mizu. "Will you stop teaching her all these stupid legends?!"
"Hey, didn't you say that super saiyans were just a legend?" Trunks said with a smirk.
"You - -" Frieza gave him the coldest, most threatening glare anyone had ever received off him. Trunks was deliberately saying things to annoy him, and they both knew it.
"Well if it was just a legend, then why were you so afraid of it?" Trunks teased.
"I'm warning you, kid -"
"Okay, that's enough, now." Goku tried to calm the two down. "Hey, quit it guys, okay?"
"I don't know why you're telling me. HE started it." Frieza argued.
"A fifteen - year - old?" Mizu said. Frieza growled, but said nothing.

Trunks leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, a triumphant smirk of his face.
"Heh heh heh." he uttered a laugh as he watched Frieza. Frieza just stared back coldly.
"Hmph!" Lavender kicked him hard under the table.
"Aah!" Trunks' eyes widened and he cried out in pain as he felt her kick. Frieza smirked, and put his tail around Lavender's shoulders. He looked at her as if to say:
"Good girl." and she smirked back.
"Hey, are you okay?" Goten noticed Trunks red - faced and biting his lip.
"Yeah. Fine." Trunks said quickly, not wanting to admit her of all people had hurt him. He sighed, and looked at Goten. He smiled. "I'm fine. Honest."
"Okay..."
"Mizu, you were saying about your martial arts...?" Goku changed the subject back, mainly just to keep everybody calm.
"Oh yeah." Mizu nodded. "I've achieved the top grade now. And I've learned a lot of new spells. Actually, I'm teaching Lavender. She's inherited my powers."
"Wow, so your kids can do magic, too?" Goku sounded interested.

He looked at Lavender.
"Hey, I bet it's really cool casting spells, right?"
"Do you want a demonstration?" Lavender asked sweetly.
"..." Frieza smirked. He turned away, hoping that nobody would see his expression.
"Sure!" Goku nodded enthusiastically. He looked at Chichi. "We'd love to see a spell, right?"
"What spell?" Chichi asked suspiciously, looking at Lavender.
"Oh, don't worry. It's a very easy spell. Nothing I'm unsure of." Lavender assured her.
"Lavender..." Mizu was also looking at her suspiciously.
"Oh, don't worry, mother. It's okay." Lavender still had her sweet tone. "It's one of the easy ones. Honest."
"Mizu, let the girl do her spell." Frieza said.
"What are you up to?" Trunks demanded.
"Nothing! Why are you so paranoid?!" Lavender insisted.
"Gets it off his father." Frieza told her.
"At least my father isn't afraid of LEGENDS!" Trunks shot back, leaning across the table.

"Lavender, just cast the spell!" Mizu ordered, tired of the constant arguments between Trunks and her family. "Geez! I can't take him anywhere!"
"Okay, then." Lavender stood up. She looked at her audience. "Okay, now I'll need four volunteers."
"I'll volunteer!" Goku raised his hand.
"Goten, why don't you go?" Chichi suggested.
"Yeah, okay, I guess." Goten shrugged. He looked at Lavender. "What do I do?"
"Hang on, I still need two more people." Lavender replied. Goten looked at Trunks, who shook his head.
"No way. She's plotting something, I know it." Trunks said.
"I'm just TRYING to be friendly!" Lavender frowned. "But fine, if you're gonna be like that! Maybe I won't do my trick."
"Good." Trunks shot back.
"Ah, come on, Trunks." Goku insisted. "She's not gonna do us any harm."
"........." Trunks sighed. "Okay, fine then. Just make it quick."
"Don't you need another volenteer?" Frieza said to his daughter.
"Yeah." Lavender nodded. She looked at the crowd. "But... it helps if all my volunteers are of the same race. Chichi, are you a saiyan?"
"No." Chichi shook her head. "They only other saiyan is Gohan... but I know he and Videl are our for the day... so the only one left is... -"
"Vegeta." Goku finished her sentance. He looked at Chichi. "But Vegeta'll still be home, right? Bulma never said they were going out. Besides, Vegeta'd wanna stay home and train anyway."

"Bulma?!" Mizu exclaimed. "Ah, I haven't seen her in years! How is she?!"
"Well, let's invite 'em over." Goku smiled.
"Yeah, sure." Chichi shrugged. "I'll go call them."
"Perfect." Lavender said with a smile.
