Next day, Bulla didn't talk with her son the whole morning. She had lots of problems at the corporation, lots of lab work which should be speeded up, and now she had a ten year old kicked out of school. She left Vegita at his training room, and arranged a few meetings, and gave instructions to her secretary to look for new schools for her son. Later she focused her on her lab work. She always wondered how the corporation used to work when her relatives would only sit in the lab. Apart from new designs she had to constantly meet with the board of directors, supervise practically everything in the offices and deal with tones of sudden problems. Even now after all those years, the designs she would find made by Bulma or Dr. Brief's, they could only make her wonder where they got the ideas for those spaceships and if ever any prototypes were constructed. Maybe if she had the time to stay in the lab she might work on them some more.
However her most pressing problem was her son. He never had any friends thanks to his arrogance and pride. He was too strong, and all the mean kids only wanted to tease him. She tried four schools in the last two years, and nothing good came out of any of them. She even had the feeling that with his intellect staying at school was on the whole a waste of time. She would do better teaching him by herself in the lab if she had more time. But that way his chance to interact with any kids his age would drop from 0 to -10. She had once considered sending him to a martial art school, but after the trails they would reject him because he was too physically strong for them to handle. Suddenly she had a thrilling idea.

When Pan picked up the phone and heard it was Miss Leigh from Capsule Corporation she felt a spur of excitement. She had been wondering about the Brief's family for some time, she was best friends with Bra, and good friends with Trunks especially after their space journey together. It bad bothered her that the two families grew apart after Goku's leaving, so this was the perfect chance to fix it.
She called out for Goku, who was in the forest getting some wood.
"I'm coming Grandma!" She could hear him yell back. After the sudden death of his parent's she was the family he had. "Why did you call me?" He asked putting a huge tree next to the house.
"We're going on a short trip!" She told him. "Go and change your dirty clothes!"
"But Grandma it's almost dinner time, could we please go after dinner?" Goku got really worried about his stomach's needs.
"We've been invited to dinner! So hurry up!" She explained.

"Dear son, I have a surprise for you!" Bulla told Vegita as he was coming out of the training room.
"You know I hate surprises" He sullenly replied.
"Oh don't be so stiff, we're having guests over for dinner!" She said.
"I hate having guests over they always stare at how much I eat!" He yelled at her. His feeding needs exceeded what normal humans considered to be normal.
"If you promise you will behave you won't have to go to school tomorrow." She tempted him.
"I won't go to school anyway since I've been kicked out for that fight, and since you walk out on the headmaster!" He replied with anger.
"What if I were to tell you that you wouldn't be going for school for a long time?" She said with a wide smile, and that smile and those words did work the trick.

"Grandma Where are we going?" Goku kept asking all the way. They were flying in the air, which was rather irregular. "Why are we flying there?"
"Because if we would take a car or plane we wouldn't make it for dinner!" She explained.
"Why go that far anyway?" He said to her. "I'm hungry! And they probably won't have enough food for me!"
"Don't you worry about that!" She laughed as the approached the West City and headed for the Capsule Corporation centre. In that facility the corporation had not only sophisticated labs and office, but just next to it was the unusual house built by Dr. Brief's and his wife.
"Capsule Corporation" Goku read the sign. "But Grandma...!"
"Oh shush boy!" She swung at him in the air, and swiftly landed on the ground.

He could feel the presence of someone. Someone he had met before. Actually there were two people, one strong he had met previously, and the second a bit weaker but distinctively different from all the normal people. As soon as the first person came closer Vegita forgot all about dinner, because he was all fired up to see his arch rival from the tournament.
As he was approaching the door he realised that's why mom told him to behave during this dinner, and if he screwed this one up he would really get in trouble.
As soon as the doorbell rang he opened the door to see him, Goku standing there next to an old lady. He was surprised to see an old woman have such exceeding strength, but he had no time to ponder on it.
"Vegita please let our guests in!" He heard him mom yell from the kitchen.
"Please come in." He told the guests and led them in the dining room.
Goku looked around with surprised, he never had seen such a modern house. He and his grandma lived in the old house built by grandpa Gohan, and not much has changed over there. This was something completely new to him. He still couldn't digest the idea that he would be eating with Vegita of all the people on this planet, so he just didn't say anything and followed his grandma.
"Grandma this house is amazing." He whispered to her hoping no one else would hear.
"Maybe it is Goku, this house always was like this." She explained.
"You've been here before?" Vegita stopped in his spot.
"Many year ago my dear boy, but I'll tell you all about as soon as we get something to eat." Pan gently smiled at the rough boy.
