Goku pulled back on the beast's horns, causing it to rear up on its four hind legs. It roared in pain and fury as his feet dug into the back of its neck. The green gem tried to buck him off only resulting in more pain for itself. "Woowee! Ride em', Cowboy!" he called happily. The eight legged creature finally had enough and rolled over onto its back, trying to crush him. "Oh crap!" he cried jumping off of it at the last minute. He then landed on the creature's stomach, knocking the wind out of it. As it gasped, it managed to kick him off, and he tumbled to the side. The creature quickly recovered, and loomed over Goku as he got up. It reared up to attack him, roaring loudly.

It was cut off, however, by a well aimed spear shooting through its head. The creature disappeared in a puff of smoke, and a small gemstone fell to the ground along with the spear. "Nice aim, Chichi!" Goku called as he went to pick up the stone and put it in a ring box.

"Thank you, Sweetie. I have been practicing a lot lately," she said with a smile, "It's just too bad this thing had to interrupt us in the middle of our picnic."

"Yeah, Sorry about that," he apologized, "I just don't get why this keeps happening. Whenever we try to do something together, one of those gem monsters always seems to attack us."

"Oh don't worry," she said, standing on her toes to peck him on the cheek, "It's not like you caused this to happen….right?"

Goku smiled at her. "As fat as I know, nope!" he chirped, "Well, I think I ought to get going. Piccolo's gonna be mad if I miss training time with him, and I have to check up on Steven too." he returned the peck on the check before lifting of of the ground.

"Alright," Chichi sighed, "Just remeber pick up Gohan from preschool in an hour, alright?"

"You got it! See ya later Chich'!" he called with a salute as he floated away, and flew back to beach city. She waved to him as he disappeared.

When Goku got close to the temple he quickly noticed the overturned semi truck not to far from it with the cookie cat logo on the side. The truck's engine was currently on fire and the side was badly damaged. "Uh oh!" he thought, "Something terrible must have happened! I hope everyone's alright…"

"Steven? Vegeta? Piccolo? Are you guys alright?" he called as he climbed up the stairs. He tore off the front door by accident as he attempted to get inside quickly. "Whoops…" he muttered.

"Damn it, Goku! That's the third door this month!" Piccolo addressed, snapping out of his meditation, "What is it with you Saiyans and destroying doors? If the temple door didn't open on its own you two would have found a way to rip it off its hinges by now."

"Piccolo! You're alright!" Goku said with a smile, ignoring the Namekian's rant.

"Why wouldn't I be?" he asked.

"Well I saw a wrecked semi-truck outside and I was worried that something bad happened," he explained.

"Nah, that's just the work of the royal pain in the butt over there," the green alien responded pointing to the kitchen. Goku followed his finger to see Vegeta trying to stuff dozens of cookie cats into the freezer. A couple hundred of the treats still sat on the floor next to him.

"Uh...Vegeta? What are you doing?" the taller saiyan asked, cocking his head to the side, "And where did you get all of this?"

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm trying to put away these things for Steven!" he snapped as he now attempted to shut the freezer door.

"Why do you have so many though?"Goku asked, gazing at the large pile still on the floor, "Don't tell me you stole that truck outside?"

"He heard that Cookie Cats were going out of business so he stole an entire shipment for Steven," Piccolo explained.

"Vegeta!" Goku cried.

Vegeta crossed his arms over his chest as goku Gave him a scolding look. "It was either this or have to listen to the boy whine about it for the next month," he said, "The decision was pretty obvious, really." the freezer door then popped open again and the ice cream spilled onto the floor. "Grrrr! Stupid ice cream!" he shouted, slamming a hand on the counter and causing yet another crack.

"Vegeta, you know stealing is wrong. You need to return these...or at least pay for them," Goku said, folding his arms with a stern expression.

"I'm afraid both of those things are pretty much impossible at this point," Piccolo said, "If he returns them, he'll get arrested for assault and property damage. Seeing as we aren't citizens here let alone human, I doubt we'll be getting off on parole. If he tries to pay for them...Well we don't exactly have the money for that anyways."

"Alright then…" Goku relented with a sigh, "So what do we do now?"

"Well first, we need to get rid of the evidence," Vegeta said, "If you could finish emptying out the truck and get rid of it, that would be great."

"And after that?" Goku asked.

"Figure out what to do with all this god dam ice cream," Vegeta stated, kicking one of the cookies.

"Why not the arctic?" Goku suggested, "There are plenty of warp pads in caves there. Plus they'll keep all year round."

"Alright Kakarot," Vegeta said with a nod, "You can go ahead and get rid of the truck. Piccolo and I'll store the ice cream."

"Please leave me out of this," the Namekian grunted, opening one eye to look at the Saiyan.

"No. Now help me or I'll just store them in your room," Vegeta said, picking up about fifty.

"Fine," Piccolo muttered, getting up.

While they dealt with the ice cream, Goku stepped outside to deal with the truck. He couldn't help but feel wrong in doing this, even if he really didn't have a choice. "I hope Chichi doesn't find out about this…" he thought as he flew down to clear out the truck of the remaining cookie cats.

Hey guys, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Also, yes, Gohan will be making an appearance at some point too. Have a good day you guys!
