Hello everyone. Thank you for all the reviews. I'm glad that you're enjoying reading the story as much as I'm enjoying writing it. Here is chapter 4. I do not own Dragonball Z.
Last time on The One You Love: Goku Vegeta have identified the kis as belonging to their mates; this has elicited some deep thinking about their relationship with their wives and are on the way to them. Meanwhile, ChiChi started losing control of her power but was able to keep it in check for her family's sake. Bulma is now taking care of an unconscious ChiChi.

The One you Love Ch4
"Oh man. I never realized that ChiChi would be so upset with me that she would use a wish from the dragon" said an anguished Goku.
"Hmmf. If that onna of mine has become powerful, there'll be no end to her bitching" then, thinking a little more the Saiyan prince said "Of course, she would make a better sparring partner than you."
"But I'm the most powerful man in the universe! How could she be a better sparring partner" said Goku, feeling kind of slighted.
"Getting jealous, are we? Kakkarrot, you may have been Bulma's friend for many years, but you don't have to live with her day in and day out. Let me tell you, she can be as ruthless and bloodthirsty as me; if we were to spar, she would go all out and actually try to kill me. Now, THAT would be a challenge."
Reflecting on Vegeta's words, Goku considered that ChiChi would make a great sparring partner as well. After all, she was already the strongest woman in the world. Goku also thought about the other benefits of having a super-powerful wife; no longer would he have to be so careful around her, he wouldn't have to worry about accidentally injuring her, she would be able to depend less on him and more on herself (not that she didn't anyway, but being super strong comes in handy every now and then). That would also make their time alone that much more interesting.
Goku got a glazed look on him, but Vegeta didn't notice. The prince was too busy smirking while imagining the sparring sessions his wife and he would have. Oh, how he would enjoy torturing her in the GR; and, if it ever broke again, he could say it was her fault as well. It was brilliant! It may also spice up their night life as well. Vegeta's eyes opened even further and put more speed into his flight, eager to reach his mate.
(Meanwhile, back at the charred battlefield)
Picking herself up, Bulma limped over to her friend who was slowly regaining consciousness. "ChiChi...ChiChi!...Wake up. I want to go home."
Barely opening her eyes, ChiChi said "...Goku...is that you...just...five more minutes daddy...unngh..." she passed out again.
"Oh brother" sighed Bulma. Slowly, she put ChiChi's arm around her neck and tried to lift her up to the waiting capsule plane. She had no choice but to dump ChiChi head first into the back seat, wobble herself into the driver's seat and start the plane towards Capsule Corporation.
After the two women were on their way, and the plane was but a speck, the two Saiyan warriors landed at the site. Looking around at the charred remains Goku was surprised and Vegeta amused.
"Did..did...ChiChi and Bulma do this" Goku meekly asked to no one in particular.
"Hmmph. I think I would give my woman more credit for this destruction than your mate. It seems like her handiwork" said Vegeta, smirking. If Bulma had gotten this powerful she would most assuredly be a great sparring partner.
Taking flight, Goku surveyed the immediate area for any sign of his wife and friend. "I don't see anyone around here Vegeta. Do you sense anything"
Taking a moment to do a scan of the area, Vegeta retorted "No. There's only the lingering energy of the attacks, but no powerful kis are present."
"Gosh. I wonder where they went" said Goku, wearing an absent-minded expression while lifting his head with his index finger.
Vegeta crossed his arms, lowered his head and closed his eyes, deep in thought. After a few seconds he said "If they just received their powers, then this little spectacle must have taken a lot out of them, as they don't know how to control their abilities yet. I doubt they can even fly." Goku listened attentively as Vegeta continued"Therefore, it makes sense that they would have gone home to rest. Knowing Bulma, as she's the only one who knows how to fly or drive, they would have gone back to Capsule Corporation."
Standing there, looking amazed Goku said "Wow, Vegeta. That all actually makes sense. I never took you for a detective. How did you figure all that out"
"Like I said before, that's why I'm the prince and you're the lackey." Vegeta would never testify to the fact that he had picked up some deductive skills from Bulma, but he was thankful he had. This was the best lead they had to go by. "Let's go"
Quickly they both took to the air, heading for Capsule Corp.
A few minutes later, Goku and Vegeta landed at the front door of Bulma and Vegeta's home. Goku was about to knock, but Vegeta (being that he lives there) just barged in.
"WOMAN? WOMAN! WHERE'S MY FOOD"
"Geez, Vegeta! Are you always this loud around here"
"Shut up Kakkarrot! Just because the onna has powers now, doesn't change the fact that I am the prince and she is to serve me. WOMAN!FOOD!NOW"
From upstairs a thunderous voice responded. "GET IT YOURSELF YOU SELFCENTERED BASTARD. I'M SICK"
"See? Everything is normal" said Vegeta. Goku could only look at the prince stupefied.
"...this is normal around here" Goku said under his breath.
"Wait" said Vegeta, looking around suspiciously. "Something's not right here. Something's...missing." Doing a quick scan of the premises, he realized what was wrong. He hurriedly flew up the stairs up to his and Bulma's bedroom and struck the door open. Bulma could only slightly lift her eyes to see who was standing in the door.
"What do you want, Vegeta? I told you I don't feel good..." Bulma said.
With an angry, yet somehow worried face the prince of all Saiyans spoke"Woman, where is the brat"
