Chapter 3- Plansand Surprises

Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ, if I did, I'd be rich.

"Well, we'd offer for her to stay with us mom, but we don't have the extra room," Gohan said. Athena nodded slowly, understanding. Chichi echoed the sentiment.

Vegeta watched them all before standing up. "Family or not, I would not suffer the onna to live with a bunch of third classes. She can stay with the boy and I, we have an extra room. That is, of course, if she approves. After all, we do need someone who can cook."

Everyone looked at the Saiyan prince surprised, all except Athena. "I accept your offer Vegeta." They nodded at each other silently.

Goku looked between the two and tried not to smile. "It's settled then, Athena can move in as soon as possible. You'll need clothes though Athena, I don't think anyone will look too highly on someone who wears armor in public."

Vegeta scoffed and ran his fingers through his flame-like hair. "I think the boy and I can provide for the girl, don't you think? After all, the boy is the owner of Capsule Corp."

Athena had moved in over the week. Having very little clothing with her, Trunks had taken her shopping and bought her a lot more than she had thought necessary. They had tripped all over the mall and spend almost $1000 by the time he let her go home.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

She woke up and got dressed quietly. Quickly looking through her mass amounts of new clothing, she chose baggy lavender pants and a fitted white t-shirt. Gazing at herself in the mirror, she nodded slightly at her appearance and went downstairs. On the way, she ran into Vegeta. She gave him a sweet smile and he smirked at her. "Onna, are you going to make me breakfast or am I going to have to make YOU breakfast?" She gave him a fake look of horror and ran, screaming to the kitchen. He smiled slightly to himself and walked into his room to get dressed.

As he walked downstairs to the kitchen, he noticed that Trunks was already sitting at the table, eating. Athena was making pancakes, mountains of them. He sat across from Trunks and glared at him. Trunks seemed to get the point and finished his food quickly. "Okay you two, I'm out of here. I have a lot of work today, so I'll be late, don't wait up for me." With that, he walked out of the house.

She turned around and looked at Vegeta. "What'd you do Vegeta, threaten him?" She smiled and brought him a plate, carrying her own and sat down. He took his plate from her and started to eat before he looked back up at her to speak.

"Onna, since you've been here, you haven't had much fun. I feel…bad. Do you want to train with me this afternoon in the Gravity Room?"

She nodded and started to eat her breakfast. Once, she thought she caught him staring at her, but shrugged it off. `There's no way he's staring at me, he only lost his wife a couple of months ago.'

Someone knocked at the front door. Vegeta made no move to answer it so Athena got up and opened the door. Behind it stood Goku with something downy cuddled into his arms. He smiled and walked inside. "Hey Athena, where's Vegeta?"

She pointed to the kitchen as she sat down upon the sofa. "Vegeta, Goku's here, come out into the living room."

They could hear a growl from the kitchen. "Don't assume you can tell me what to do in my own house Onna!!" Even after his outburst, he walked out into the living room and sat down next to her, causing her to smirk. "What do you want Kakarot? I have better things to do than waste my time in your presence."

Goku looked down at his fluffy bundle. It moved revealing that the little fur ball was in fact a black and white Akita puppy. Glancing up to his sister and his rival, he admitted to his intentions. "Well, Goten found him all alone and I thought maybe you'd like to have him as a house warming present Athena."

She raised an eyebrow at her brother then reached out her arms for the puppy. Goku handed him to her and he cuddled up right underneath her chin. "Well, he's cute, I'll give him that… but then, something so annoying would have to be cute to survive." Vegeta bit back a laugh at how much Athena sounded like him. Goku had a shocked look on his face. For once in his life, he was completely speechless.

Vegeta cleared his throat and stood up. "Okay Kakarot, you burdened your sister with the fuzzy thing, now you may leave." He glared at his rival until he woke out of his stupor.

"Oh, right, see you guys later." With that, Goku walked out of the house and took off towards his own home. Vegeta rolled his eyes and closed the front door, mumbling something about Goku being raised in a barn. He looked over at Athena with his arms crossed, a scowl imprinted on his face.

She glanced up at him and then back at the puppy. "What would I want with a fluffy…thing? What's he good for?" Vegeta approached her and kneeled in front of her, giving a death glare at the pup.

"You know, we could always eat it." He took the pup from her hands and held it up in front of him. As he held it, eye level, he suddenly felt a warm sensation down the front of his shirt. He looked down and growled. `The damn dog just pissed on me!'

Athena couldn't hold it in; she started laughing. She was laughing so hard, her face was turning red and she almost fell off of the sofa. Vegeta growled at her and set the dog down on the floor before ripping his now soiled shirt off of his body. At the sight of his naked torso, Athena stopped laughing and could only stare at him. `Dear Gods…' Gathering her thoughts again, she gained control over herself. "Well, it's safe to say he doesn't like you Princy."

He growled and approached her. He pushed her against the back of the sofa, glowering at her. His face was only inches from hers. "You'd do well not to call me `Princy' onna; it could be bad for your health."

As she was about to reply, she heard a tiny growl and Vegeta yelped in pain. She looked down slowly and saw the wooly puppy attached to Vegeta's shin. She again, couldn't contain her laughter and reached down for the puppy. At the touch of her slender hands, the puppy released his prize. She brought him closer to her and he licked her chin happily, his little tail wagging. Smirking, she looked at Vegeta. "We're keeping him."

Huffing, he frowned at her and shrugged. "Fine, but if he is going to be in MY house, I name him." She thought about it for a minute before nodding her head in agreement. "We name him Baka."
