"Oh woah holy!" King kai sat up. His antenna twitching wildly and his halo askew, "The hell was that?"

"Sir, is something wrong?" Gregory asked, poking his head into the bedroom.

"I just felt something awful. For only and instant. But it was… Hurgh…" his antennae twitched again, i"You guys feel that?"/i

"I sure did. Jolted me out of my quality time with my-"

"Old Kai finish that sentence and you will be kicked from this conversation!" Shin interrupted.

King Kai clutched his sheets. "Can any of you see what made that feeling?"

"Not a clue. It popped up here in East Galaxy but I can't get a grasp on it." East Kai exclaimed, "But what I can see is that it's already destroyed two planets on the way to wherever it is going."

"Any idea where it's heading?"

"North west.

"Of course it is," King Kai mumbled. It was heading right for North Galaxy. Everything bad always seemed to happen in his part of the universe. "I'll tell Goku. In the meantime keep an eye on whatever that thing is."

His antennae twitched again. "Goku! Can you hear me?"

Goku lifted his head and paused in shoving pancakes into his mouth. He swallowed. "Hi, King Kai! What do ya need?"

"Goku! What did I tell you about talking to King Kai at the table?" Chi-Chi scolded, pointing at him, "At least do it in your head and not out loud. We could of been having guests over!"

"Aw Chi-Chi, anyone who would come see us already knows about him." Still, Goku got up and took his plate to the sink, finishing his breakfast quickly. He blew Chi-Chi a quick kiss and ruffled Goten's hair before he stepped outside.

"Okay, I can talk now King Kai."

"Goku! I was woken up by something terrible. It has appeared in East Galaxy and is making a bee-line for North Galaxy."

"What is it?"

"We don't know. It's somehow eluding us. All I know is that for one brief instant I felt great evil."

Well that was certainly vague. That could of been so many things. Frieza… Well mostly just Frieza. But Frieza lived in North Galaxy. Not East. "When will it be here?"

"Hard to say if it's actually on the way to Earth. It could be going for anything."

"Oh come on King Kai. It's almost always for the Dragon Balls." Goku stated, hands on his hips. He looked over his shoulder as Chi-Chi stepped out, his wife looking worried.

"Goku is something bad coming here?" She asked nervously, "Will you have to go and fight again?"

Goku turned to her, holding his arms open. Chi-Chi ran into them and Goku held her face in his hands, nuzzing her gently. "We don't know yet, Chi-Chi. But I'd never let anything bad happen. You know that."

He looked up, face serious. "I'll go tell everyone, King Kai. Don't worry."

Cell opened his eyes, hands folded over his chest. His neck was mildly stiff from the awkward position he had set himself in, crest propped up against the headboard of the bed. Ah well… A small sacrifice to meditate and emulate 'sleep' with his dearest.

He rolled over, curling up a bit so he could finally fit all of himself onto the bed. His arm instantly wrapped around Poppy's middle, pulling her against him. Poppy made a groggy snort, her elbow uselessly smacking him in the chest.

She let out a pained hiss, holding her forearm as she curled up. "Oh my god that hit my funny bone..."

"It's the ulnar nerve my dear. Not a bone." he kissed her ear a few times, then nuzzled her neck, pressing his nose to her skin and inhaling. He hummed a tune stoftly. "Hmmm. You are all I long for~. All I worship and adore~"

"You smacked my funny bone I can't be wooed by Frank Sinatra right now." Poppy mumbled, sighing as Cell began kissing at her neck.

"Fly me to the moon~" he continued, not really minding he was not singing it in order, he gave a few more kisses to her neck before he finally sat up, tossing the covers back and getting up. He rolled his neck a few times, rubbing the muscle a bit. "I think we need a bigger bed."

Poppy rolled over, looking up at him tiredly. "You don't have to meditate in the bed with me." she yawned, snuggling back into the pillow.

"I like seeing you every morning."

"Aww. Big softy."

Cell hmmed. "Only for my perfect little family." He cracked his knuckles next before finally heading out of the bed room. He had to prepare for 18's arrival. The woman still despised him, but honestly, as long as she was close to his dear paramour and kind to his child, he really could care less what she thought of him.

He put some tea to steep on the window sill down stairs in the kitchen. He sighed, looking at himself in the reflection of the window. He gave a small smirk, admiring himself a moment before frowning.

He leaned over the counter, pressing his nose against the glass. "You have stagnated for three weeks." he scolded himself, "Not a single increase in power. Get it together if you want to be stronger than them, you can't fall behind."

He pulled away, smiling again as he began some meal prep so Poppy could make a quick lunch for the guests and herself.

He would go train once it was all finished. Poppy could handle making herself and Mita breakfast.
