--Gohan's House--

They all ate quickly, except for Videl who kept to her manners and ate civily. All three filled their plates once again as they finished.

"Now that was some good spaghetti." said Gohan, smiling brightly.

"I agree." Cell said, rubbing his stomach. Gohan, hearing his voice, frowned slightly, but forced on a smile.

"Yeah, thanks Mom! It was great." Pan said.

"Glad everyone liked it." Videl said, smiling. She then continued, "Now wash your hands so I don't have to clean again..." They all got up and went to the sink to wash their hands. Gohan finished and sat down in his recliner with the newspaper. Cell, once he was done, took his seat two inches from the tv. Pan shook her head then stood next to him.

"Ahem..." Pan coughed.

"What?" Cell said, keeping his eyes glued to the screen.

"Move over, I wanna see."

"Fine." Cell inched over little by little, keeping his head in the same place.

"You COULD move your head, too."

"But the center is always the best place to watch it." Pan just pushed his head over and sat next to him, replacing his head with hers.

"Hey! You can see more!"

"Nu uh."

"Yeah huh!"

"Oh, shut it." Pan shooed him away.

"I was here first!"

"How about you sit on the couch so we can all see it?" Gohan said.

"Sounds good to me." Pan said, dragging Cell from the tv.

"Hey, did you know I was on on this channel... oh... 28 years ago?" Cell said.

"And you still remember it?"

"Of coarse..." Pan suddenly gasped. "What's wrong?" Pan then dragged him to their rooms. Gohan raised an eyebrow as they left.

"We can't be together..." She said, looking away.

"What do you mean? I know your father won't--"

"Its not that... its our ages... I'm only 15... and your.. what... 50?" Cell let out a small laugh.

"No no 32... but your right... they are far apart..."

"Almost 20 years..."

"But hell, think about it... Buu is like... what... billions of years old?"

"But still..."

"We might have to see Yama about this..." He looked down at his collar. "Too bad it didn't come with a help pamplet."

Gohan stood silently out of sight near the door. He surpressed a growl and clenched his fists.

'They aren't sopposed to be together!! I won't allow my worst enemy be with my daughter!!' Gohan thought. He was debating what to do. The smart thing was to talk it over with Videl, but his anger clouded his thoughts. He suddenly spun around into the doorway, but what he saw before him shocked him. His eyes grew wide as he just stood there.

Cell and Pan stood in the middle of the room in eachother's arms, kissing. Gohan started breathing heavily as he grabbed his chest and collapsed to the floor.

As soon as they heard the thump, they pulled apart. Pan gasped.

"Papa!!" She screamed, pulling away from Cell and running to her passed out father. His eyes were still open, but were rolled to the back of his head so only white shown. Cell stood there for a second, his arm extended out to Pan. It lowered as he ran over.

"Is he alright?" Cell said, kneeling by Pan who had tears streaming down her face.

"I-- I don't know!!" She screamed frantically as she shook her head side to side. Cell wrapped his arms around her, trying to comfort her. Videl soon came.

"What happened?!" Videl shouted as she saw her husband on the floor and Pan crying into Cell's chest.

"He... just suddenly collapsed..." Cell said, looking down.

"Oh no... were you guys... doing something?" she said as she leaned down to Gohan to check his pulse and breathing.

"W- well..." Cell looked down to Pan who slightly nodded. "...we were kissing."

"Only something like that could shock Gohan so badly."

"Your not mad?"

"I should be, but I'm not. It's Pan's choice who to be with." The faint pulse in Gohan scared her. "We have to get to the hospital as soon as we can. You can probably fly faster than me, Cell. Take Gohan. Pan, you go with him and tell him where the hospital is." They both nodded. Cell took Gohan and sped outside, Pan following.

--Satan City Mall--

Frieza tapped his finger on the table annoyingly.

"How long do we have to wait?" Frieza said.

"I think she's just changing out of her uniform. It shouldn't be too long." Goku said, pointing to the women's bathroom.

"Whatever..." He said, looking away. How did he get himself into these things?

"Look, there she is!" Goku got up and dragged Frieza over.

"Hey guys. By the way, my name is Kimiko. What's yours?" Kimiko said, looking at the both of them.

"I'm Goku! And this is Frieza. Say hello..." Goku said, looking at Frieza. He just growled. "Um... excuse him.. he doesn't take nicely to strangers..." Kimiko laughed.

"You're treating him like a dog. Now come on, where do you want to go first?"

"Let's eat!"

"We just ate you moron." Frieza said, burning Goku's hand with his ki.

"Hey! No using ki! That's mean!" Goku said, waving his finger at him.

"Ki? C'mon... isn't that those effects Hercule was talking about with Cell?" Kimiko said.

"That's no trick... and you actually believe in that weak earthling?" Frieza said. Goku gasped and took him away.

"They don't know he's a conman! He's their hero!" Goku whispered.

"How about I flick him with my finger and prove he's weak?" Frieza snickered.

"No! You can't do that... I know its ridiculous that they think flying and ki are explosives and effects, but normal people don't understand that stuff..." Kimiko stood behind them, listening.

"Ok, prove he's a conman! Fly!" Kimiko shouted to them.

"Alright." Frieza said.

"No! Not in public!" Goku said.

"Oh, c'mon..." Frieza charged towards Kimiko, taking her up in her arms and flying through the mall. She screamed as she realized how fast they were going. The wind from Frieza's speed knocked the people back, causing many to stare at the direction he was going.

They reached the center of the mall where a circular space was that went up to the top. People gathered around the railings of their floor as they saw Frieza and Kimiko zoom up past each floor.

"We're gonna crash into the skylight!!" Kimiko said.

"Not if I destroy it. Now hold on." Frieza said. Kimiko tightened her grip as Frieza released one of his hands and extended it in front of him, palm facing the skylight. "HA!" He screamed as a red ball of ki soared to it, the glass instantly shattering to dust. it sparkled in the sun as it fell around them.

He regained hold of her as they went through the hole above them. He came to an abrupt stop above the mall. The people inside looked up at the floating figure.

Kimiko looked up at his smirking face.

"We're... actually flying..." Kimiko said.

"Of coarse. This is no hoax." Frieza said as he looked across the city.

"The view is beautiful."

"You're right." He agreed. Just then Goku sped up the same route only faster.

"Frieza!" Goku shouted.

"What do you want, monkey?"

"Stop showing off and let's get out of here! Otherwise you're gonna have to pay for that HUGE and THICK piece of glass you broke!"

"I'm not paying for anything."

"Well, they can sue you!"

"I'll kill them."

"If you kill anyone your going to go back to hell, do you want that!?"

"Of coarse not! I don't want to see that turnip Yama ever again." Kimiko just listened as they argued.

"Then let's get out of here..."

"Fine." Goku went over to Frieza and touched his shoulder with his left hand and putting his index and middle fingers up to his forehead. He instant Transmissioned to the house.

--Capsule Corp.--

"We're sorry!!" The siblings said pleadingly.

"Just stop argueing for once." Vegeta said.

"Yeah, Trunks, stop." Bra said.

"You were the one who started it!" Trunks shouted.

"No, you did!!"

"I say Trunks did!" Buu said.

"Oh, look at the happy couple!!" Trunks shouted back.

"ENOUGH!! All of you, if you don't stop, I'm gonna get Bulma to cook meatloaf!!" Vegeta shouted once again.

"NOOOO!!!" They all shouted, sitting down quietly. Buu and Bra sat on the same couch together.

"Now if I hear ONE word out of any of you while I'm training, you're gonna really get it." Vegeta said, taking off his shirt and going outside to the GR to train. They all sighed.

"Now what?" Trunks said.

"Let's watch a movie." Bra said as she yawned.

"Sounds good to me... Hey, Buu, can you still cook us some food?"

"I guess." Buu said, getting up. He went into the kitchen to look for something to cook. "Hm..." He got a packet of popcorn out and some chocolate. He then got out some sprinkles. He melted the chocolate in a pan on the stove while the popcorn popped in the microwave. He put the popcorn in a big plastic bowl then poured the chocolate in the bowl and shook it, making sure the popcorn was all covered. He then added the sprinkles and shook it once again, the sprinkles sticking to the popcorn. He seperated it into 3 bowls and let it harden as he made the real meal.

"Hm... what to have tonight... ah... this'll work." Buu said to himself as he got out a bag of white rice. He then went out to the big freezer in the main complex and found a big juicy chicken just waiting to be eaten. 'If I knew they already had one...' He thought to himself as he picked it up and went back. He started to cook the rice as he prepared the chicken with all kinds of seasonings and stuff. He then diced up the chicken into pieces and prepared five plates. He put butter on the rice to finish it up and then balanced the plates on his arms as he walked over to the living room. He handed one to each of the siblings.

"Oh, wow, this looks great!" Bra said.

"Yeah! Thanks a lot." Trunks said, taking his fork and chowing down. Buu smiled as he went outside to the GR.

"Vegeta.... got some food for you..." Buu said, knocking on the door. The door opened and Vegeta was right there. He snatched the food and closed the door. Buu blinked and went back inside. He went to Bulma's lab.

"What is it?" Bulma said as she heard him knock.

"I have some food for you." Buu said.

"Come in." Buu opened the door and set the plate on an empty space on the table she was working at. She sniffed it at first then took a bite. She instantly spit it out.

"What's wrong?"

"NO ONE cooks better than me!!" She roared as she took the plate and launched it to Buu. It him him straight in the face. He frowned and merely walked out of the room. Bulma hmphed and continued her work.

"What happened?" Bra said, looking at Buu.

"Your mom doesn't appreciate my cooking." Buu said as the plate slipped off his face and onto the floor. He looked down at it and shook his head as he picked it up and went into the kitchen to clean the plate and himself up.

"That's just mean."

"Yeah, especially when this food is great." Trunks said, stuffing his mouth. Buu sat by Bra and ate his own food quietly.

"Don't mind my mother. She doesn't like anyone to better than her at cooking or science." Bra said.

"That's apparent." Buu said.

"Well, which movie should we watch?" Trunks said, now finished with his food.

"You pick." Bra said. Buu finished himself and got up, taking both of the other plates and going to the kitchen. He returned with the three bowls of chocolate popcorn as Trunks popped in a movie. He handed one to each and sat down once again.

"Hey, thanks! You sure are nice." Bra said.

"He wasn't nice back then. Though it was kinda funny. I remember when you fell asleep while Goten, Piccolo and myself were there..." Trunks said.

"I was just bored." Buu said, slightly smiling.

"Well, enough about old times. Let's just enjoy the movie." It soon started and they were left to watch it in the dark room...
