Okay so I haven't put up a disclaimer but do I really have to???

Chapter 7

The table where everyone was eating was slightly tense. Eyes casted Mirai and Cells direction. The kids refused to come out of the house. They all tried to have conversation with each other without mentioning anything but it seemed to get rather difficult.

"So, Vegeta," said Goku, "any idea on why Mirai wont let us get rid of Cell?"

"No," he said flatly, "not a fucking idea." He had expected for Mirai and Cell to be planning something disastrous, he was shocked to hear the conversation that went on, Bulma seemed a little suspicious when he said 'well I didn't expect to here THAT'. She had eyed him dangerously but did not ask any questions.

"Why are the kids hiding in the house?"

"I don't know Kakarot," he said keeping his heavy glaze on the two on the other side of the table.

"Why is everyone watching them?"

"I. Don't. Know."

"How come you don't know." Vegeta shot out of the chair in a rage.

"Kami help you you stupid monkey! I don't have a fucking Clue! I don't have any idea what is going on so QUIT ASKING!!!" All eyes shot on Vegeta and Goku.

"Geez it was just a question, don't have to get all worked up." Vegeta crossed his arms and sat down like a stubborn child. He looked around the silent table.

"Can I help you people!?" Everyone just went back to there own conversations.

"Tien," said Chaotzue, "you can open your eyes, it's not like they are naked at the table."

"No Chaotzue, people like those two, you never know. My eyes stay shut, I tell you, shut!"

"Goku," said Chichi, "something bothering you?" Goku turned his gaze over to his nosey wife.

"No," he said with a goofy grin, "why would something be bothering me."

"Because you are staring at Mirai and Cell. You have been sense we got to the table."

"That's nonsense," he said laughing a bit, "why would I be watching them?"

"Why indeed. Do you know something?"

"Me? Know? Chichi please, it is a well known fact that I am clueless. Vegeta says so himself."

"Vegeta is an ass."

"And I'm a simpleton." Chichi growled a bit in frustration. Sense when did anyone openly admit just how simple they were!?

Cell fidgeted a bit. "Do you think they know," he whispered.

"Don't act suspicious and they wont know."

"But they are all staring at us."

"I know Cell. Just stay calm, ignore them, and eat. I know you are hungry." Cell just nodded and proceeded to eat. He just couldn't shake the paranoid feeling that they all knew. He felt a sharp pain in his foot and let out a hiss. Mirai had stepped on his foot and gave him a nasty look.

"Slow down, your tweaking out, your eating faster then my dad and Goku combined, it's suspicious. Oh dear kami now I'm freaking out. What if they know Cell. What if they know!?"

"What if we know what," asked Vegeta.

"Nothing," said Mirai a little to quickly. Vegeta just went back to his food, his eyes never leaving them. Yea, nothing, that's what they all say! The obviousness was practically screaming from them. How could no one know?

King turned to Bardock and Turles. "I'm telling you there is just no way," said Turles. "I know him better then you do Bardock and I'm saying that it just isn't his style. If he is into someone he just doesn't care."

"Look, all I'm saying is what I heard," said Bardock.

"Who did you hear it from?"

"I can't tell you it's a secret."

"What's a secret," asked King. Bardock looked around the table and made sure no one was listening then whispered to the king what he had been told.

"No kidding," he said, "I was told the same thing but I heard it was a secret. Who else knows."

"Just Raditz," said Bardock, "and our informant."

"I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours," he said with a smirk.

"Well," said Bardock, "Raditz and I where told by Kakarot."

"I was told by Nappa."

"Who did Nappa hear it from," asked Turles.

"I don't know."

Meanwhile over at Roshi and Oolong. "They are being paranoid, do you think they think we know?"

"I don't know," said Oolong, "hard to say. But they sure are being jumpy."

"Does anyone else know," whispered Roshi.

"I don't think so."

"Know what," asked Yamcha who was listening in.

"We can't tell you," said Roshi, "it's a secret."

"Really? What kind of secret," he asked quietly.

"They kind you don't go around repeating," responded Oolong, "if we are wrong about Cell and Mirai sleeping with each other it could cause problems."

"You guys know about that to," hissed Yamcha in shock.

"What you know," asked Roshi after hitting Oolong upside the head with a fish.

"Who told you guys?"

"Oolong told me," said Roshi.

"Oolong you weren't suppose to tell," he said angrily.

"I'm sorry it sort of slipped out."

"Slipped out," said Roshi, "you came rushing over to me and just strait out told me."

"Does anyone else know," he asked a bit nervous.

"Not unless Puar said something," said Oolong.

"Wait, Puar knows," asked Roshi, "Oh dear, boys the shit just might hit the fan here pretty soon."

"Well Puar only knows because she was there when I told Oolong and Chaotzue."

"CHAOTZUE KNOWS!?" Everyone looked at Roshi who was now standing up.

"Okay," said Miria standing up, "what the hell are all of you talking about! You keep yelling at each other about something you all know and I want to know what it is!"

"Please sit down," whispered Cell so stoned he didn't think anyone was listenting.

"Boy what are you babbling about," shouted Vegeta.

"What am I babbling about? WHAT AM I BABBLING ABOUT!? Dad you just yelled at Goku saying 'I DON"T KNOW STOP ASKING', Tien is over there with his eyes closed shut, those three inside are to scared to come out, the rest of you are whispering about something in your own little sick groups. What are you all talking about that is such a big secret!" Everyone looked at Mirai in shock. Mirai was loosing patience so he went to the biggest pansy in the group. He grabbed hold of Goku and held him inches from his face.

"Tell me what you know," he said slowly and sinisterly. Goku looked ready to cry. "Tell me. What. You. Know. Now!"

"2 and 2 make 22, the world is round, sticking a fork in the light socket is a bad idea, I don't know anything else!"

"What else do you know," he asked now gritting his teeth.

"Stop," shrieked Chichi not happy about her husband being put through an interrogation. "My husband is an idiot, he doesn't know anything." Goku started to cry now.

"Cigarettes give you cancer, drinking under the age of 21 is illegal, turn on your blinker before reaching the stop sign and where your seat belt." Mirai lifted his face ready to pound Goku into an oblivion until he was stopped by Bardock who proceeded to pull the enraged vampire off of his son. Goku was now rocking back and forth because of the trauma. "Because most food contains a large amount of water, you obtain approximately 3 1/2 cups from what is eaten over the course of a day. "

"Now look what you have done," snapped Bardock, "my son is talking about drinking water now."

"Hey," yelled Vegeta now getting up, "don't yell at my son that's MY job. Mirai you moron look what you did to that imbecile Kakarot!"

"It's simple and inexpensive to install a water filter combining coarse filtration (to remove particulates) and activated charcoal, which removes chlorine from the water as it flows through. We think the filtered water tastes delicious -- as good as expensive bottled water -- and it is ideal for cooking as well. Note that this type of filter does not remove minerals, which have health benefits."

"Kakarot will you shut yup," yelled Raditz.

"Stop yelling at your brother! He is traumatized because his royal pain in the ass's son just forced information out of him. Kakarot quit babbling about water already nobody cares!"

"Switching to either compact fluorescent or low-mercury fluorescent bulbs can have a major impact on energy cost savings, as well aslessen your contribution to energy productionrelatedpollution, including global warming(."

"Goku, Global warming is a myth," snapped Roshi who had a strong belief in Global warming.

"It is not,' shot Goku.

"It is too!"

"NOT"

"IS"
"NOT"
"IS"

"Will you two stop it," snapped Chichi now getting very annoyed. "MIrai, you want to know the roumor so bad! Well here is mine! Gohan told me and Videl and Bulma that your screwing around with Cell!"

"Hey," said Roshi, "me Yamcha, Oolong, Puar, and Chaotzue heard that same roumor."

"Who told you the roumor," asked Nappa.

"Well Gohan told me the roumor," said Yamcha.

"Who told you guys."

"Videl told me and Chichi who was told by Gohan," said Bulma.

"Well I heard it from Piccolo," said Gohan defending himself, "who else did you tell Videl?"

"Nobody important."

"Hey," shouted Hercule, "I'M the most important person on this planet."

"Who the hell told you people this," snapped Mirai as everyone began to tell who told them. All eyes casted on Piccolo who seemed at the moment the source of the problem.

"Don't even look at me," he said, "18 told me!"

"Well the kids told me because they were listening in on a conversation you and Cell where having, explain that one!"

"Dear God in heaven, THEY KNOW," shouted Cell who was not paying any attention. Mirai slapped him again and told him to settle down.

"They don't know shit! They only know what those little monsters told them!"

"What monsters," he asked looking around casually.

"What is wrong with HIM," asked Vegeta.

"See I told you they don't know," said Mirai.

"Don't know what,' asked Bulma.

"You don't know nuthin' about nuthin' that's what," snarled Mirai to his mother. Vegeta bitch slapped him and caused him to fall to the ground. Cell watched with his eyes blinking.

"Trunks," he whispered, "what is going on." Mirai scampered to his feet and proceeded to make his way to the house. Cell got up to follow and so did everyone else.

Mirai found the three sitting in the livingroom playing the PS3. He walked over and yanked the cored out of the wall. "What did you three do!?"

"Nothing," said Goten nervously.

"Really? Then why is there a rumor going around that I'm fucking that overgrown bug!"

"Hey," said Cell, "I resemble that remark!" He was then hit upside the head with a frying pan by non other then Chichi. Trunks could handle his father, Trunks could handle his mother, Trunks could handle Mirai, but he could not handle all three at once. He was just a kid and that is pretty hard work for him. He promised his dad that he would not tell a soul what he asked of Trunks, but this was getting to be to much.

"Dad told me to listen in on your conversation to see what you and Cell where planning so Me and Goten and Marron snuck over to you guys and listened in and we where going to tell dad but then 18 jumped in front of us and demanded we tell her everything. I wasn't going to say anything but Goten opened his big mouth and did a song and dance for her. It was really kinda gay looking."

"Hey," protested Goten, "I worked really hard on that song and dance."

"And I'm sure you did a good job," said Goku, the ever so encouraging father that he was.

"Goku," snapped Chichi, "quit being encouraging!"

"But Chichi-"

"NO! Our son will be a lawyer not a broadway singer and that is that!"

"Wait," said Gohan, "why does he get to be a lawyer and I have to be a scholar."

"Let's face it honey," she said patting his shoulder, "you just can't lie very well." Gohan was not quite sure what to say to that.

While that was going on Vegeta noticed something behind his sons ear. It was a piece of white paper rolled up tucked behind his ear. He slowly reached for it and snatched it. Mirai turned around in shock. Everyone else turned around to see what Mirai was so afraid of. There, in Vegeta's hand, was the joint Mirai and Cell had been smoking.

"See," said Cell, "I told you he knew!" Mirai was pissed off now. He turned on Trunks who smiled at him innocently and out of no where pulled out a samari sword that seemed to be on fire. Trunks yelled out help and ran the other direction. Mirai chased after him.

"Where did the sword come from," asked Goku.

"Spensers," said Vegeta.

"How do you know?"

"The tag is still on the sword."

"Is that a magnet still attached to it," asked Bulma.

"What, you didn't know he was a thief?"

"No," she snapped.
