Vegeta: Previously on April Bakas.

"Where do you suppose they went?"

"Its not like they could stand up and walk away."

"I don't know Videl after some of your training sessions you can be pretty rank."

'The Second of April'
The hover car made a smooth landing on the green expanse of grass surrounding the little house. As the hover car's engine wound down the long legs of driver slid out of driver's door. The sound of the car door closing could be heard. A pair of hands smoothed the wrinkles out of her skirt as the legs carried the driver to the house. One hand reached out to knock on the door as the other hand combed through blue hair. Just as the hand touches the door flies open and an orange blur connects with the driver sending them sprawling into a puddle of mud.

"GOTEN, WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT COOKING!" shrieked the reason all remaining Saiyans wake in the middle of the night drenched in sweat. Chichi raced out the door after the young Saiyan to watch the dust trail disappear over the next hill. "Ugh, I'll send Gohan out after him as soon as he gets home from school." As Chichi turned to enter the house she spotted the cherry red hover car and scanned the area to find the driver in the mud puddle with her arms clutching her stomach.

"BLUMA!" Chichi cried as she raced to her friend. "Oh Kami!" Chichi prayed as she pulled Bulma from the mud puddle. Chichi now she saw the blood coming from Bulma's mouth. She pulled the skirt over Bulma hips to relieve the edge of a huge bruise that already started to turn black.

"After all those adventures with Goku I just die in a puddle of mud." Bulma choked out as she coughed more blood.

"No, Not today." Chichi answered as she stroked Bulma's hair. She then stood up and breathed in, "PICCOLO, I NEED SOME SENZU BEANS NOW!!!"

Piccolo who was in deep mediation as usual was jarred out of it by Chichi's sonic attack. As he turned towards the direction of Chichi's voice as he was about to take off he reach into a pocket and pulled out the small bag filled with the holy beans. His mind started to calculate the ballistics, distance, weight and air friction Piccolo growled as he realized he was spending too much time with Gohan He increased his power level, aimed and fired the bag.

Chichi was holding Bulma's head in her lap, continuing to stroke Bulma's locks, when a bag landed within arms reach of the pair. Chichi quickly swept up the bag into her hands and opened it, then removed a bean. "Come on honey open up here comes a miracle" Chichi said as Bulma opened her mouth to receive the bean.

"Ugh, Krillin was right these beans taste awful." Bulma joked as her labored breathing eased and the bruise faded away. [1]

"Don't look a gift horse the mouth." Chichi replied, "Come on get up You can take a bath and Ill toss those muddy clothes in the wash."

"Thank you." Bulma said as she started to enter the house.

"What do think your doing?" Chichi asked with a glare in her eye and her hands on her hips.

"I was going inside to shower." Bulma answered.

"You will not go in my nice clean house with those filthy rags on," stated Chichi.

"But, you said I could have a bath!"

"Yes, the tub is around there."

"Outside?" Bulma looked around, "But what if someone sees me?"

Chichi rolled her eyes at her friend, "Who's going to see? Gohan is in school, Goten is in 934 area by now, Piccolo only comes around when Gohan is here, Dad's busy this week and won't be around, the only other visitors are you and Launch and she visited yesterday." Chichi replied.

"Ok, but what about you?"

"What about me?"

"Are you going into your house looking like that?" Bulma asked as she pointed at Chichi.

Chichi looked as where Bulma was pointing to that she was covered in mud as well, "Oh for the love of Kami! I'm a mess of course not, follow me." With that Chichi undid her sash as she led Bulma around the house to the large wood tub Chichi started the tub filling as she opened a small shed to reveal a washer and dryer housed within. She kicked off her shoes and began undressing. While she unfastened her dress Bulma watched for moment then proceeded to shed her muddy layers.

"BYE SWEETIE!"

Bulma was now down to her knickers panicked as she looked around the house in the direction of the voice. "Who was that?"

Chichi who had also heard the noise tossed Bulma a towel. "Calm down! You never worried about being caught half naked before?" Chichi asked as she looked in the direction.

"But I'm cover in mud what if some one saw me?"

Chichi rolled her eyes as she grabbed her frying pan, "Stay here I'll go check out."

"In just your underwear?"

"So what? At least my whites are still white."

"FYI, They where pink this morning"

"What was pink?" Both women jumped clean out their skin by voice behind them. They whipped around to the blue-hair-and-always-smiling, happy go lucky Launch. "Oh! You're going soak in the hot tub? Wonderful, I'm glad I decided to visit," she said as walked up to the tub. Launch dipped her hand in the water while kicking off her shoes and removing her socks.

They both let out her breath as they relaxed "My underwear was pink until I was knocked into some mud. Um… What are you doing?"

"Oh, I was going to join you too for a soak But I feel so silly now, I should have asked." Launch said with embarrassment.

"Don't worry be silly! We might as turn into a group soak there's enough room for all, right Chi?"

"Sound like a genius plan to me. Why don't you mix some drinks I while I start the wash and Bulma can use the hose to wash most the mud and blood off her clothes and herself."

As Launch removed her shirt, "Wonderful! I have question," she asked. [2]

"Sure, but you know where everything is." Chichi said.

"Well, are suits optional in the tub?" she asked as she shed her jeans.

"It is today." Bulma answered as she spread out her mud caked clothes and reach for the hose.

"Okay, a big pitcher of strawberry daiquiris and three glasses!" Launch announced as she tossed the last of her clothing in a pile and started for the kitchen.

Bulma watched as Launch disappeared into the house. "Did you notice that she seams to have a very Saiyan way about her?" Bulma asked as she washed the muck from herself.

"No why do you say that?" Chichi asked as she collected up Launch's pile of clothes.

"Well, she doesn't seem to mind nudity and the hair changing color and the attitude change that goes with it."

"That is true I hadn't noticed that before," Chichi answered as she folded the clothes on reflex.

"I will have to have her come in for some testing." Bulma looked up the expressions of a thought carried across her face, "Uh, Chichi, I was wondering you have never let me cook in your kitchen but you let Launch use it feely?"

"Please, I've seen you try to cook."

Launch soon came back with three huge pitchers of strawberry daiquiris and filled with Banana flavored daiquiri

"Chichi, you're out strawberry oh, and I found this on the floor in the kitchen."

Chichi let out a sigh, "It's Gohan's PE gear, and he forgot it. I might as well wash it for him." With that she released the capsule ejecting the clothes. Launch was drawn to a light blue piece of clothing that had fallen on the ground When she had it in hand it seemed out place, so she rearranged it so she holding by the waistband, and showed it to Bulma.

Bulma's eyes popped out of her head for a moment "Ah, Chichi, is there something about Gohan we should know about?"

"What do you mean?" Chichi asked as she turned around.

"These." Launch held up the undies.

Chichi stared the piece of clothing in shock.

"They belong to Videl."

All three women jumped as there heads spun in the direction of the voice. There stood 18 as stoic as Piccolo several mountains away. Launch was the first to recover. "Oh goodie a fourth for the hot tub and daiquiris, I'll fetch another glass," She said as she hustled off to the kitchen.

"So, what brings you out here you want to borrow some more of my clothes without asking?" Chichi asked. [3]

The altered human just simply looking at the woman, "I was going to return them but I couldn't get the stains out from being swallowed by cell, so I planned on having Krillin burn them, but instead I burned them with Roshi in them.

"Well, as long as they to a good cause," stated Bulma.

Chichi glared at Bulma, who just shrugged her shoulders.

"So, are you going to join us?" Bulma asked as she ignored Chichi's glares.

"I think I will, my legs and back are killing me from teaching in heels."

"Wonderful You can tell us all about this girl, Videl." Launch said as she sank into the water.

"Yes tell us about Gohan's future wife and Chichi's future daughter-in-law." Bulma stated as she tossed her clothes in the washer and set and activated the machine.

"Say do those clothes mean that there'll be a Saiyan in diapers?" Launch asked.

"Oh that reminds me!" Bulma said with evil tone in her voice as pulled out her cell phone out of her handbag and autodialed a number. "Hello, Veggie." Bulma said a she set the phone to speaker.

"Yah, what do you want?" Vegeta voice came from the phone.

"Just this." Bulma said, "SWEEE, SWEE, SWEE!!" Bulma whistled into the phone.

"GNNNYAAAAAAA…!!" came from the phone

"What was that all about?" Launch asked Bulma as she entered the hot tub.

"Oh, a little thing called Swee-trots." [4]

"GRANDCHILDREN!!!" Chichi screamed out in excitement as the news sank in.

Videl and Gohan where sitting in a grassy area under a tree, free of the distractions of Erasa and Sharpener. Videl was experiencing the joy of Chichi's cooking for the first time as she was eating lunch with Gohan.

"This is so good. How can your mom cook food with this quality in such quantities?"

"She says its made with love."

"She must have mountain of love for her son."

"And her son has a mountain of love for his girl."

"Really, who is she?" Videl asked with a dark glare. The confusion and panic on Gohan's face was all too clear as Gohan froze. Videl smiled at the results of her tease, "Relax I know who you're talking about."

"Oh, good," Gohan exclaimed as he let out the breath he was holding.

"Unless you do have someone else." Videl stated as she glared at Gohan.

"There's nobody!" Gohan swallowed hard.

"Good." Videl smiled, "We have PE next do you still have my clothes from yesterday?" Videl asked.

"Yup, your clothes are in my capsule with mine, I didn't think you wanted them left in the showers." Gohan answered as he dug through his pockets

"I don't know Gohan it would have upped your social status after you where the last one in there. And today's big question would have been 'Who was she?' instead of 'When did those two become so friendly?'"

"Uh, I might have ended up in the principal's office to with some explaining to do, it may have required a call to my mom, and having my mother knowing what happen yesterday wouldn't be a good thing for either of us."

"I suppose keeping our adventure secret would be for the best." Videl sighed. "I would like to be out in the open with us, but my dad wouldn't be any better than your mom."

"Uh, Promise not to be mad?" Gohan asked cautiously.

"Why, what did you do, forget our stuff at home?" Videl asked as Gohan's head suddenly snapped around.

Videl being confused and curious by Gohan's sudden action as he stared off to the east, she decided to draw his attention back to her. "Look west young man where the hills are filled with gold and whiskey." She sang out.

"Huh?" Gohan replied in a confused tone.

"It's a song." Videl stated.

"Um… Ok. Uh, Videl, you know how I didn't want my mother to know about us?" Gohan stuttered out.

"Sure do, you just said that. What you such a momma's boy that you cann't hide a secret from her?"

"Uh, You could say that. I forgot my clothes capsule at home and now my mom knows about you." Gohan answered timidly.

"What? How could you? You knew we would need our PE clothes, what where you thinking?" Videl asked with anger in her voice and fire in her eyes.

Gohan summoned up his best defenseless puppy dog eyes. "But I didn't do it on purpose." Gohan said.

Videl never had a chance to fight back as all of her anger was suck away like water into a sponge, "I guess after all its not like you did do it on purpose. We still have time before class and there is a martial arts goods store just down the street where we can get a couple of gi."

"I really am sorry about that."

"I'm sure you are. Lucky for you, you're easy on the eyes."

"Umm… okay I think."

"Hurry up, Gohan, or we're going to be late for class." Videl called out as she walked in the direction of the store.

"Oh, right!" Gohan said caught up with Videl.

"So, 18, dear tell me about the bearer of my future grandchildren?" Chichi slurred as she polish off her fourth daiquiri.

18 raised an eyebrow at the dear statement, "Videl is the name the barer of your future grandchildren. You shouldn't get along very well."

"Hmmm, Mrs. Videl Son." Chichi purred as distance smile appeared on her lips.

"Why won't they get along?" Bulma asked.

"Their too much alike. Loud, stubborn, prone to violent outbursts."

"Wow." Bulma and Launch said unison

"Videl also has an attitude similar to a certain prince of all ego."

"You're kidding?"

18 simply raised an eyebrow

As Videl worked through the women's side of the rack of gi trying to find some thing that called to her, the only thing that was calling to her was Gohan as he tried to detangle himself from the salesgirl. As she watched Gohan try to politely dismiss the doe eyed drooling girl the only thing that Videl was thinking was, How can she be so head-over-heels about Gohan? Add the fact the girl hasn't even seen Gohan with out a shirt on! Videl started to blush as she recalled the other day in the shower. Damn it, he's mine I'm not going to let her get anymore oily fingerprints on him! Videl thought as she circled around the rack.

"Are we having any trouble, Dear?" Videl asked as Gohan turned to Videl, who swept Gohan into deep kiss sucking on his lower lip, Videl held on to his lip with her teeth as she pulled back. Videl looked to the salesgirl, who looked like someone had ripped her heart from her chest and thrown it the trash.

"Videl, that wasn't nice."

"Really? I will try the top lip instead." As Videl tried Gohan placed hands on her shoulders stopping her from moving.

Gohan looked down at Videl with an expressionless face that he saved for disciplining Goten. "That's not what I meant."

Videl looked at Gohan for a moment before looking down at her feet, "I'm sorry, I found some thing great and I don't want to share it to someone who won't appreciate it like I do."

Gohan watched as Videl placed her hands behind her and stubbed her toe on the floor just Goten would do in the same position "You should know better. I think you of all people would appreciate sharing." Gohan looked around the clothes rack before pulling out a navy blue gi. "Videl, I'm going to go try this one on, you better find yourself something.

"Right." Videl answered as Gohan left for the changing rooms. He wants me to share, huh, I wonder if he can share? Videl thought to herself as pulled an all white gi for self and headed for the changing rooms.

As they brought their purchases to the counter Videl spotted the salesgirl that had been talking to Gohan next to the counter, "Um, Hi, uh, Becky." Videl started as she read the girl's nametag. "I share a lot of things with the world because of who I am and who my father is, I don't want to share him." Videl glanced at Gohan who was watching before turning her attention back to Becky. "What I did was inexcusable and I wish apologize with this." Videl's hands leap out, one grabbing Becky by neck of the shirt and the other grasping the back of her head giving it a slight twist as Becky's lips meet Videl's in a deep and passionate kiss.

Author's Notes:

[1] I cann't find a single incident in which Bulma was revived by the Senzu bean (Do you capitalize 'Senzu'?) (Nevermind, I found a spelling)

[2] Noticed how Launch was not fazed by the mud and blood comment, being a female member of Z force. She has long since accepted the reality that somebody's going to get bloody.

[3] I don't know if anybody else noticed in the manga but 18's change of clothes when we first meet our future member Z force. She was still wearing the cowgirl outfit. Then when they searching The Son house, you saw18 in something different. I decided she raided Chichi's closet, if you want to believe something else then write your version post it, and tell me about it.

[4] In Dragonball Bulma fed Oolong the shape shifting pig a Swee-trots. If you never watch the first Dragonball or read the manga, what a shame.
