Chi Chi struggled through two times the earth's gravity, but then she remembered hearing Gohan talk about how he and his father had trained in over a hundred times the earth's natural gravity. Chi Chi forced herself to run around the room and in a few hours she was moving comfortably enough to levitate slightly off the ground. I really do need to learn how to fly, I can levitate. See Goku? She said with a smug smile I'll be fine without you. Up in other world Goku was sitting with King Kai at the Grand Kai's palace. She's really upset with you Goku, King Kai said looking over at him, and things are only going to be worse when she finds out she's pregnant.

I know Goku said, but she has to understand, I'm doing this for her own good, as long as I'm dead nothing bad will happen to the earth. King Kai nodded in agreement and said yes you're right about that. Goku said Chi Chi has a lot of people to support her, she'll be fine. Only time will tell King Kai replied watching her master two times the earth's gravity. Not bad woman Vegeta said coming back into the room, you've done well for a weakling. Chi Chi growled as Vegeta laughed at her anger. Do I make you angry? He said mockingly well well, then you have enough energy left to move onto five times the earth's gravity.

Don't push her too hard Vegeta Goku thought to himself from otherworld, or else you'll kill my baby in the process. Chi Chi said alright lets get to this, I want to be up to a hundred times the earth's gravity by the end of this week. Vegeta stared at her for a moment and then shook his head and chuckled. That's rich Vegeta said laughing you could barely stand up in with the setting on two. Chi Chi growled and said oh yeah? She stalked over to the machine and Vegeta said Harpy what are you doing? Proving you wrong. She replied setting the machine up to 20. Chi Chi was slammed down onto the ground as the gravity went up. She gasped as she struggled to get her face off the floor. You idiot! Vegeta said flying over to the machine and turning it off.

No put it back on! Chi Chi cried getting up from the ground I want to get stronger, I want to be a part of the fighting too, I refuse to sit back and do nothing! Vegeta glared at her and she stopped yelling but she glared right back. So you wish to be a fighter. Vegeta said with a smirk. I am a fighter Chi Chi said angrily, I've been a fighter since before you've ever thought of earth! I've never seen you fight. He replied with a smirk. Once I had Gohan I stopped fighting for awhile, but I never stopped training. She admitted to him. Vegeta studied her for a moment and said you can't use your ki? You have a halfway decent amount for an earthling. I was never shown how. Chi Chi replied I was busy with Gohan so I didn't have the time. Vegeta grunted and said fine then. I will teach you how to fly, and then to form small energy attacks. Then you will leave me to get my own training done, you've already wasted enough of my time. Chi Chi said then hurry up and show me so I can get out of your way, your highness. Vegeta growled and then said close your eyes and concentrate on your energy. Chi Chi sighed and closed her eyes.

Vegeta watched as she felt her own energy out. Good. He said watching her know concentrate it into a ball. Chi Chi tried to focus her energy to form into a ball in front of her.

She laced her arms in front of her in an attempt to gather the energy. She felt it tingle into her hands and it formed into a tiny ball. Good work Harpy. Vegeta said looking over at her. Chi Chi gazed down at her own energy it was a vibrant blue color. I should've met you first Vegeta thought gazing at Chi Chi. She said and now what do I do? Vegeta was snapped out of his stupor and said now that you can focus on your energy I want you to use it to push you up. She nodded and focused her energy to go beneath her. She gasped when she felt herself lift up. She looked down and saw that she was ten feet in the air. She gasped with surprise but willed herself to move to the left, and then to the right.

She smiled happily and said look Vegeta I'm flying! Yes I can see that. He said dryly. Come down now. Ok Chi Chi replied willing herself to go down. She gasped as she fell rapidly but stopped at the last moment from hitting the ground.

Well I have to admit you're doing better than I expected, Vegeta said with a smirk, but your still not all that great. Why your arrogant idiot short…Vegeta clapped a hand over Chi Chi's mouth and said shut up, and listen, I'm going to show you how to use your energy to attack. She glared up at him but closed her mouth. I wonder what it is about this woman that makes me want to see her get angry, it's probably her eyes. Vegeta thought to himself staring at her blazing ebony orbs. Vegeta said focus your energy into your hands once again. Chi Chi concentrated and felt the energy build into her hands. A small ball appeared in her hands. Vegeta said now imagine it's an extension of yourself and release it.

Chi Chi nodded and moved her hands like she had seen Gohan do on several occasions and tossed the energy from her hands. It collided with the wall and left a small hole. Chi Chi smiled happily and turned to Vegeta. He nodded good job practice this for a week and then come back, see about finding yourself a weak sparring partner.

Chi Chi said do they have to be weak? Yes Vegeta nodded don't get ahead of yourself just because you mastered two times the earth's gravity, and learned simple things.

Vegeta waited for her to explode and just as he expected she came out with her claws drawn. Listen you little prick, just because your stronger than me doesn't give you the right to belittle me! She shouted at him. If there is one thing I look forward to doing it's kicking your ass! Then you'll have to wait hundreds of year Vegeta replied smirking at her. Up yours! She said angrily tying the power pole to her back and tying her hair back into a low pony tail.

Vegeta knew at that very moment he wanted Son Chi Chi he gazed at her and watched as she gathered her glassy black hair into a low queue and adjusted her clothes so that they hugged her curves subtly. She turned back to him and he looked away quickly and said now get lost; I need to get my own training down. Of course your highness, I'll be leaving now, thanks for the lessons. Remember, I want you back in a week to see how far you've progressed. Not to mention watching you bounce around in those clothes, ughh what the hell is wrong with me? This is the harpy I am thinking about! Chi Chi said ok ok I know I'll be back in a week. The door closed on the gravity room and Vegeta went to turn on the gravity machine when he noticed that Chi Chi had given him a very unexpected reaction. He grumbled at himself in disgust and headed to a bathroom to take a shower.

Chi Chi decided there was no time like the present to practice flying. She got her energy to lift herself and up and started to head home. Oh shoot it's nearly sunset. Gohan will be home soon! She willed herself to go faster and squinted her eyes as her hair whipped her face. She sighed as she twirled in the sky seeing the mountain in the distance the sun was almost completely down the horizon and stars were starting to light the sky above. Chi Chi smiled to herself as she saw the beautiful view it made her feel a peace of serenity that seemed lost to her for the last couple of days. She stopped flying for a second and let herself float in the sky she closed her eyes and turned around taking a deep breath of air. She opened her eyes once more and then continued onto her house. She stopped a few feet away from the door and said Gohan I'm home!

She heard no answer so she went inside. Apparently I'm the only one she sighed she walked into the kitchen and started cooking just to have something to do. I still can't believe you'd do this to us Goku, I really can't. She said to herself chopping up carrots. Why bother marrying me if you were just going to leave me? Why bother having Gohan if this was how it was all going to turn out? She whispered to herself. Then she choked out no, Gohan was the best thing that has ever happened to me, I'd never change that. She dumped her carrots into a pot and then chopped up some dino meat and celery. Too bad I never got the daughter I wanted as well. She dumped them into the pot as well and poured some water into it, she added salt pepper and oregano into the mixture. Needs something else she went into the cupboard and took out a couple bay leaves and then also brought out a couple of potatoes. She put the leaves into the pot and began chopping potatoes. Goku, I miss you so much, I don't even want to think of you, but I can't stop. Mom I'm home! Gohan said coming into the kitchen. Hi Gohan she said go wash up for dinner and then set the table for me. Mom, are you ok? Gohan said walking up to her. Yes of course why do you ask? Chi Chi said still bent over the potatoes. You're crying mom. Gohan said touching her cheeks. Her tears ran down from her cheeks onto his hands.

I'm fine really Gohan Chi Chi said managing a bright smile, I was just chopping some onions for the stew. Oh, ok sure mom Gohan said though he couldn't smile any onions. Now go get washed up. Chi Chi said to him. Ok. Gohan said walking out of the room. You know, you're not a very good liar. Piccolo said from the living room. Oh so you're here too? Chi Chi said glancing over at him. Would you like some food? Piccolo said no thank you. Well how about some water? Chi Chi said getting a glass from a cupboard. Piccolo saw her reaching for the glass and realized she wouldn't take no for an answer. Sure. He said. Chi Chi poured him a glass and started to walk to him. He said I'll get it just set it down on the table. Chi Chi put his glass down and then turned back to her cooking. You shouldn't hide your feelings, Piccolo said taking a gulp of his water, and they'll just fester inside of you. I have to be strong for my son. Chi Chi said stirring the stew I can't let him see me crying.

You need to take care of yourself as well, hiding you're feelings could be worse than showing them, you might make yourself sick, then where would Gohan be? Chi Chi thought about his words and then changed the subject. I trained today. She said looking back over at him. Piccolo grunted and said found Yamcha did you? No Chi Chi replied with a smirk, I found Vegeta. Vegeta?! Piccolo said he actually stopped to help you? Chi Chi shrugged and said he taught me how to fly and use energy attacks. You learned that in a day?! Piccolo said seeming surprised. Chi Chi said it was a matter of putting two and two together. I told you I already knew the basics, I just needed someone to show me how to do it.

It wasn't all that hard. She finished checking on her stew. Piccolo looked impressed and then she smirked I also trained under two times the earth's gravity. Piccolo said really? She nodded it was hard, but I mastered it. She chuckled and said it's a lot easier to move around now, and I can even jump higher than before. Of course. Piccolo said. This woman, I guess Gohan gets some of his strength from her too so where do you live Piccolo? Chi Chi said sitting down next to him. Why the sudden curiosity? Piccolo said. I've always been curious, I've just never asked. Here and there Piccolo replied more times than not I just stay in the forest. Chi Chi nodded and then said what about at the lookout? Only when Dende needs my help with something. Piccolo replied. Oh. She said standing up and walking over to the pot. She lifted the top off and stirred the pot turning down the heat Gohan! She said dinner's ready coming mom. Gohan said heading into the room.

He saw Piccolo still there and said Oh hey Piccolo. Still surprised to see me here kid? I'm just as surprised your mother didn't run me out. Chi Chi sighed and said I told you my reasons already, I need more allies than enemies right now. Gohan adores you, and if you make him happy then you make me happy too. You might as well stay the night. She finished while tasting her stew, that way you can pick Gohan up in the morning and I can get my chores done.

Piccolo looked over at Chi Chi and she seemed to be deep in thought. Amazing how much the death of a loved one can change things Can he really stay mom?! Gohan said excitedly. Sure he can sleep on the couch. Chi Chi said finishing her stew and getting up. Mom, you hardly ate any. Gohan said watching her ladle her stew back into the pot, I know she said I'll eat it tomorrow; my eyes were hungrier than my stomach. Well you two I'm very tired, I'm going to bed. Piccolo watched her walk into the room. Some thing is wrong with her, and I don't think it's just over losing dad. Gohan said sounding worried to Piccolo. Piccolo just nodded he had been getting a weird vibe from Chi Chi too, although it was weaker today than it was yesterday…
