TIGERLILY: Ok, great, peoples are here again!
MIRAI CLONE: You get weirder and weirder, Lily, hun.
TIGERLILY: I do not. Leave me alone, I've been nice to you in the story so far, don't push it!
*Mirai gulps then nods*
TIGERLILY: That's better. Anyway, I have to inform my special reviewers about the latest on their clones that are up for grabs, "Kiteekat", "Kakarots-Frying-Pan", "Chaney", "adbzfan2K03", and "VideliGohan", I'm still waiting on you four to claim your new clones. But you'd better hurry. Like I said last time, first come, first serve.
MIRAI CLONE: *looking at four clones strangely* When are they going to be gone? It's creeping me out Lily.
TIGERLILY: Not until the reviewers claim them dear. Oh, that reminds me...*plucks strand of hair from Mirai*
MIRAI CLONE: *winces* Ow! Hey! What with my hair again? Can't you leave me and my beautiful hair alone?
TIGERLILY: Oh stop whining, your as bad as GT Trunks.
MIRAI CLONE: *sweatdrops then looks on in confusion* But......
TIGERLILY: Anyway, I sort of need to create another clone. I got a new review, and it was just, well, great! This person is treating me as if I were a god! Heh, not that I'm not, what with my great writing an all. All bow down to the awesome might of Lily, Goddess of Creative Torture of The Demi-Saiyans.
MIRAI CLONE: *sweatdrops*
TIGERLILY: Now about that oh so wonderful reviewer, I'm giving you your own clone, as you wish. But sadly, I can not keep giving out clones. I don't have the resourses. So this will be my last. I'm sorry. As for the outfit, well......I think we can make some changes, if you don't mind that is. How about Mirai Trunks wearing a pair of cargo pants and no shirt? Hm? Hm?
MIRAI CLONE: *sweatdrops and starts to back away very slowly*
*Lily runs off, and twenty minutes later returns with the new semi- dressed Mirai Clone* TIGERLILY: Ok, "kawaiishoujo(aka applesnapple" Here is your new clone and the disclaimer for the lawyers. I don't own the characters of DBZ. I own my clones, my own mate Mirai Trunks *points to her mate who just sweatdrops but doesn't say anything*, Mystic Gohan, Gambit from X-men Evolution, Neil from the Final Fantasy Movie, and my newest clone, Kou Leifoh, from the Bouncer for the PS2 game! They're all mine, except for Gohan, he's my best friend's mate. So now on with the story. TIGERLILY: Oh, and this chapter is going to be a real sweet one, if I do say so myself. Gohan/Videl of course, but a cute little insight into the affection Goku has for his wife. I hope you all enjoy it. But I assure you, Eighteen will be a doozy of a chapter.....*wink, wink* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
The Dare
Chapter Seventeen: "Time To Say Goodnight"
Gohan sighed as he picked Videl up so he could fly her back to the house. He scooped her up effortlessly, one arm under her knees, and the other wrapped protectively under her back and around her shoulder as he held her close to his chest. He sighed again as he started to rise into the air.
"Today really has *not* been my day! And I suppose I have Dende to thank for everything. I'm so gonna kill that little green god!" Gohan promised with a growl.
He sighed even more heavily as he looked down at the sleeping Videl. The wind blew her hair around her face and Gohan couldn't help but stare in fascination. He smiled to himself without realizing it, and something stirred within him.
"I don't understand what's happening. Why am I feeling so strangely all of a sudden?" Gohan asked himself.
He sighed again as he pushed the thought from his mind and concentrated on flying home, not noticing the way Videl unconsciously snuggled closer to him.
"Chichi, honey? Sweetheart, you need to wake up." Goku said as he brushed a tray strand of black hair across her forehead and tucked it behind her ear. He smiled as her eyes started to flutter open.
"Go-Goku? You're.....you're alive!" Chichi cried in shock, suddenly bolting upright into a sitting position on the couch. Goku smiled at her lovingly as he nodded.
"Yup. I'm back, for good too." Goku said with a smile on his lips.
Chichi let out a happy cry and rushed forward as her arms wrapped around her husband's neck. She burried her face in his gi as she sobbed in happiness.
"Shh, it's ok, Chichi. Everything ig going to be fine now." Goku said, hugging her back as Bardock and Radittz walked into the room and Bardock rolled his eyes at his yongest son in digust.
"Hmph! Pathetic weaklings. A true Saiyan warrior never shows such affection for his mate, especially in public." Bardock said as Goku looked up to frown at his father.
"Look, if you expect to stay here with us, you will show Chichi more respect that that. That is, if you expect her to feed you, and trust me, she's a great cook." Goku said, looking back at Goku and beaming.
Chichi managed to smile at her husband weakly. Even after seven long years, he was still the same Goku.
"Chichi, honey, sweetheart.....there's something I need to ask you....." Goku said nervously.
He looked at his wife, hoping her joy of seeing him alive again would be enought to soften the blow and he would escape without any serious damage.
"What is it Goku? Who are these two men? What are they doing in my house? Where's Gohan? Where's my granddaughter?" Chichi asked all at once as Goku smiled at her.
"Well the two men are my father and older brother, Bardock and Radittz. They need a place to stay.....if.....that's ok with you sweetheart. They have no where else to go. As for Gohan, he went off with Videl to tell her the truth I guess. And the little girl is outside playing with Trunks and Goten." Goku said.
"Well, if your father and brother expect to be living here for a while, they're gonna have to help out around the house, Goku." Chichi said as Goku smiled and nodded his head, ignoring the deathglares his father and brother were sending him.
"Listen, you blasted female! We do not do housework! We're warriors. We fight." Bardock cried
Chichi looked at Bardock for a moment, before glaring back at him.
Goku gulped.
He wondered if he should warn his father-
"No *you* listen here! I don't care *who* you think you are! If I'm going to be nice enough to let you stay here, and go out of my way to cook and clean for you, you're going to help out, and that's that! But first things first, I want you both to go take a shower while I see about where we'll put you. It's getting late and it's about time everyone else went home anyhow. We may not have a lot of room here, but we'll see what we can do." Chichi said as Goku smiled at his wife.
"Chichi? What if we borrowed a Capsule House from Bulma instead?" Goku asked as Chichi stared at him in shock.
"Goku! That's a great idea! I'll go talk to her right now." Chichi said as she rose to her feet and went outside to talk with Bulma. Goku smiled as he watched his wife leave, before he turned back to face his father and brother.
"Look, you're going to have to get used to the idea of listening to Chichi if you expect to stay here. Trust me, you *don't* want her angry with you." Goku said with a slight shutter.
"Hmph. A mere human female such as her? How much power can *she* possibly possess. Radittz is right, you have gone soft Kakarrot." Bardock said in disgust as Goku shrugged his shoulders.
"Suit yourself. You'll see. Just remember I've been married to her for years. I know what I'm talking about here. But hey, if you two want to encounter her Frying Pan yourselves, be my guest. But I only have one other thing I need to warn you about." Goku said, his face deadly serious.
"She may not be physically powerful, to our standards anyhow, but if either of you so much as harms a single hair on her head.....I'll kill you without a second though, got it?" Goku asked, narrowing his eyes as Bardock snorted at his son.
"Relax Kakarrot. We won't harm your mate." Bardock said as Radittz rolled his eyes but nodded as well.
"Good. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going outside to see Goten." Goku said, heading outside to get to know his newfound son.
Bardock and Radittz looked at each other for a moment, before they grunted in annoyance and followed Goku outside.
*Lily's note*
LILY: Ok, O'm taking a break here cause apparently my reviewers that I dedicated Chapter 14 to might not be reading the intros of the chapters. I have clones for you, and only one of you five has claimed them. And I think my mate is getting a little uneasy about having so many copies of himself around.....Mysha sort of confused one of them with her father.....very embarrasing, to say the least. So, again, I have to inform my special reviews about the latest on their clones that are up for grabs, "puppet of the antler" has claimed the one in the armor, so "Kiteekat", "Kakarots- Frying-Pan", "Chaney", "adbzfan2K03", and "VideliGohan", I'm still waiting on you four to claim your new clones. But you'd better hurry. First come, first serve. Check out Chapter 14 to see the difference.
MIRAI CLONE: Lily, sweetheart? Your story?
LILY: Huh? Oh right, sorry. But it had to be done. Now on with the story
"A capsule house? Sure, Chichi, I think I've got a few right here. For Goku's brother and father, right?" Bulma asked as she fished around in her pockets. She smiled as she pulled the case out and opened it.
"Hmmm......now let me see here. What are you looking for exactly? A simple one floor, or two? Two bedrooms or more?" Bulma asked as she looked at the selection. Chichi frowned softly.
"Well, I guess it really doesn't matter. A house is a house, right?" Chichi asked as Bulma smiled at her.
"You know, I think I have just the one in mind. It's perfect for a couple of Saiyans. Got the idea last year when I made Vegeta take Trunks camping. And you know Vegeta. Always needing to be pampered in some shape or form. Here we are." Bulma said, picking the approriate capsule, clicking the top, and tossing it away from the two.
After the dust settled, a nice one-story house sat not to far away from the little while house Goku and Chichi lived in. It was white with navy blue shutters and a white door with matching trimmings. The window frames were navy as well.
"It's got two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a huge kitchen, a large living room, and a separate Gravity Room to train in. Vegeta absolutely refused to leave his Gravity Room until I added on in the house. He threw such a fit." Bulma said with a laugh.
"Thank you Bulma, this is very nice of you. You'll get it back just as soon as they find a place to live permanately." Chichi said as Bulma shook her head.
"Forget about it. Let them keep it. That way, Goku will be nearby and he can keep an eye on those two. Besides, he could get some use out of the GR too. No reason Vegeta should be the only one. Damn spoiled mate." Bulma muttered.
"We do spoil our Saiyans, don't we?" Chichi asked as she smiled at Bulma, who smiled back and nodded.
"Damn right, we do. But all I still ever get from Vegeta is bitching. But that's just my Veggie for you." Bulma said with a laugh as Chichi looked at her bewildered.
"Veggie? You mean you call him that and you're still breathing?" Chichi asked with a chuckle.
"Hell yeah! I get away with murer with that man, you know. Who else can say they can order Vegeta to do something, and he'll actually do it? Oh, he'll bitch about it, but he'll do it." Bulma said.
"Amazing how much power we hold over them, isn't it?" Chichi asked as Bulma smirked at her.
"And they're supposed to be the greatest fighters in the universe?" Bulma asked as the two started laughing.
"Well, it's getting late, and I think it was about time I rounded up my boys. We're gonna head home. Thanks for having us over." Bulma said as she started to walk away.
"No problem. See you later, ok?" Chichi said as Bulma nodded.
"Good luck, Chichi. Five Saiyans? You're gonna need it." Bulma said with a laugh as Chichi frowned at her.
"Oh, they can't be all that bad." Chichi said as Bulma stopped walking and smirked at Chichi, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Chichi, think about it for a minute here. They're not exactly your normal run of the mill Saiyans either. You have your oldest son, who has this whole *thing* with Videl going on. You have your youngest son, *my* son's partner in crime. You have your recently revived husband whose been gone for the past seven years. And you have his formerly evil father and brother to deal with in addition to those three. I feel so sorry for you." Bulma said.
"It's nothing my Frying Pan can't handle." Chichi said.
Bulma laughed as she nodded, then turned and headed towards Trunks and Goten to start collecting her royal lot.
"Just what I need. Another arrogent Saiyan that thinks just cause he used to rule over a long dead planet and a long dead race, he's the greatest thing on two feet." Bulma said, shaking her head.
