Disclaimer: Of this story, no one is mine. If they were I'd be in Hawaii right now.

Last time on The Way Things Work Out- If you didn't read it, you need to go back and read it, because I'm not wasting time rewording the last chapter into one paragraph.  If you have already, wasn't great? Hee hee. Oh well, here we go with another action packed chapter of the best crossover of all time. ::insert echo here:: (Oh, and a little side note. My writing stile has changed, so try not to be too surprised.)

The Way Things Work Out
Part - 6 : Something out of the Ordinary
By: Genki Dama

	Dawn broke over the mountains. Light flooded in through the Son's house. No one saw it. They were all sound asleep. The light struck the eyes of Goku. The saiya-jin's eyes flinched, but remained shut. He turned over.
	The sun rose over the Capsule Corp building. But the light shinning through these windows flooded into someone's eye. Someone who didn't like the sun all that much, especially when it was shinning in his eye. He squinted in the morning sun. His wife stirred beside him. Her eyes opened a little. She looked up at her husband who was sitting up in bed.

"What are you doing up so early?"

"Nothing."

"You are too doing something. Come on tell me."

Vegeta looked down at Bulma and looked back up. 

"Thinking."

"Thinking? You saiya-jins don't think."

"A whole lot YOU know."

"Fine... What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing."

"Now don't you start that again. Come on. Please? Tell me."

Vegeta looked at his wife again then back out the window, avoiding his wife all too longing stare.

"I have a problem."

"A problem? Vegeta? Never."

Vegeta glared at Bulma.

"Fine you win again....What's your problem?"

"I want to train one of the new girls, but I don't know if she'll want to or not."

Bulma's eyes widened.

"You..you're concerned about how someone else feels? Wow. And how they feel about being trained too. That's a new one."

"I don't care how she feels just how she'll react. Kakarot told you about how she broke Goten's nose."

"So, you want to train Makoto. I see your point. But you're much stronger than Goten."

"Yes but if a force her too train, eventually she'll be able to defeat me."

"You thought that far ahead? You have been thinking."

"Well what am I supposed to do about it, Know-it-all?"

"You'll just have to ask her."

Vegeta grunted with discust.

Chichi woke up and turned to Goku. At least to where he was supposed to be. She sat up and looked around the room. No sign of him. Suddenly a soft sound caught her attention. Sounded like a battle, but Vegeta and Goku didn't fight in the morning. She stood off the bed wrapping the sheets around her as she stood. She walked over to the window and opened it. The cool morning air mixed with dew, wafted into the room. She breathed it all in and exhaled with a sense of peace. Her ears perked up again. There was that sound. Louder now, like it was from outside. She stuck her head out of the window and looked around. Yes, it was definitely coming from outside. But she still couldn't see anything. She sighed, stepped back, and shut the window. A little knock on the door drew her attention away from that sound. She walked over to the door and opened it a crack, seeing as she was still wrapped in a sheet.

"Yes?"

"Ah, good morning Chichi-san."

"Good morning Haruka. You're up early."

"Yes, well, your husband woke us all up. Except Mamoru. Lazy boy."

"Speaking of my husband, where is he?"

"He's out over the hill."

"Doing what?"

"Don't know. But Hotaru must be with him."

"Hotaru?"

"Hai. She wasn't in our room when we woke up. We assumed she went with Goku-san."

"Hmm. Well, if you'll excuse me I must get dressed. Then I think I'll go see what that man is up to now."

"Alright."

Chichi shut the door and proceeded to get dressed.

****

Makoto was the only one awake. Figured, she thought. She clothed herself and started to leave the room when a soft tap hit her door. She stopped, slightly frightened. But she contained herself and opened the door. She let out a small gasp.

"I have a favor to ask you."

"Yes?"

"Umm..well, you see.." 'Wait what am I doing? I'm acting like Kakarot.'
Vegeta quickly stood tall and contained himself.
"I would like to train you."

"Train me? What for?"

"Yesterday you broke a saiya-jin's nose. Almost impossible for any human to do. You have proved yourself worthy of training under the mightiest of all saiya-jins."

"Uh huh. And who would that be?"

"Me of course."

"HA! You? Sorry, but you look a little old for training people."

Vegeta glared at her.

"I'll have you know I can train anyone TWICE as better than Kakarot."

"Who's that?"

"Uh...G..Gk...Goku."  Vegeta's face twisted at the word.

"Oh. Well...thanks, but no thanks."

His stone cold expression fell and was replaced with one of sadness, like a child denied something he really wanted.

Makato began looking around. She hated seeing people sad. And she hated being in awkward positions. This here was both. 'Only one option, I guess. I bet I'll hate myself in the morning.'

"Alright you win. I'll let you train me."

Vegeta's face lit up.

"ALRIGHT!...I mean, good. You have made the right choice. I'll make you stronger than you ever dreamed."

"Yeah...Can I go eat breakfast now?"

****

Chichi walked up to the top of the hill, still tying to find her husband. And there he was, with Hotaru. Fighting? No, that wasn't it. Just then she figured out what he was doing with Hotaru. She shook her head.

"Not training again?"

She proceeded down the hill towards the pair. They noticed her and stopped their exercises.

"Hi Chichi. How are you?"
"Good morning Chichi-san."

"Good morning. Just fine thanks. So, Goku, you've taken up training again."

"Yup. She may turn out stronger than Goten."

Chichi sighed and rolled her eyes.

"It's always something isn't it? Oh well, have fun. And try not to destroy anything. Remember what happened to Bulma's new air car?"

"Oh, yeah, Goten's aim was just off that day."

Hotaru giggled.

"Well, try not to do that again."

"Alright dear."

Chichi turned and walked back up the hill towards the house.

****

"So, Vegeta-san, what's all involved in your 'special' training?"

"Well, first off, you're going to learn not to ask stupid questions."

Makoto looked up at Vegeta from across the table. Bulma, at the sink, turned and glared at her husband. Vegeta turned to her and glared back.

"What?!"

"Just twenty minutes ago you were about to burst out into tears if she didn't want to train with you, and now you're treating her like dirt."

"So? She needs to learn her place."

"Uh..I already know my place."

"You do? Do you? Well, if you knew it so well, why are you still TALKING?"

"Well, SORRY. You know what? I don't think I'll train with you after all. You're too selfish and rude. I'm not going to stand for it."

Makoto stood and threw her napkin down at her plate. She stormed out of the room.

"See what you've done now Vegeta?"

Vegeta only grinned.

**

"Bulma-san?"

Bulma looked up from her workbench. She put down what she was working on and turned to face Usagi.

"Yes, Usagi?"

"Have you seen Makoto?"

"No, not lately. Last time I saw her she stormed out of the kitchen."

"Well, I saw her then too. But we haven't seen her since."

"Hmm, have you asked Vegeta?"

"Well, Rei said I should find him too, but he's gone too."

"He is? I wonder what.....OH NO!"

"What?"

"I bet he's taken Makoto! Quick go get air car!"

"What? He's taken..Woah!"

Bulma ran out of the room, grabbing Usagi as she went and dragging her out with her.

"But.. but."

***

"Let me go!"

Vegeta flew over the mountains and desolate regions of the earth carrying Makoto as he went.

"Ah, there's a nice spot."

Vegeta set himself and Makoto down in a rock face canyon.

"Why are you doing this?!!"

"You made a promise you cant go back on. You told a saiya-jin that he could train you. And that training you SHALL receive."

Makoto backed up against a rock wall as Vegeta began walking toward her. He slammed his fist into the wall next to her head. She winced as rock shattered. She opened eyes to see Vegeta no more than an inch from her face.

"And if you have a problem with it, you must kill me, and then walk back to the house. Through the desert."

Makoto was still scared out of her wits, staring wide-eyed at Vegeta.

"BAAHHHH!!"

Vegeta yelled in her face. That was the breaking point, Makoto's eyes rolled back and she fainted, sliding down the rock wall.

Vegeta sighed, shook his head and removed his fist from the wall. He walked over to a rock and sat down, waiting for his new pupil to wake up.

-----End Chapter 6---

Sorry for the way this chapter went. If you didn't like it, it was because I'm so pressed for time to write it. Oh, well. Don't expect another chapter out for 2 or 3 weeks. I'm so busy with stuff, it's unbelievable. Anyways until then see ya.
