Last time on Dragon Ball Z; An Ordinary Family, Raditz begins to attend Pickens High School, where he sees Prince Vegeta, who is in love with an Earthling named Bulma. Meanwhile, little Kakarot sees a girl from his past named Chi-chi in his kindergarten class. Also, we find that Planet Vegeta has been destroyed by a comet, and Tora, Sash and Bardose manage to escape.

Chapter 21;

New Home

"Father, I'm home!" Raditz announced as he came through the door.

"What a small home you have, Raditz." Vegeta commented.

"Hey, Raditz." Bardock said, turning the corner and not hearing Vegeta, "Oh, hey Prince Vegeta."

"Hello Bardock." he said.

"Tora? What are you doing here?" Raditz asked as he threw his books down into a corner.

"The best way to say this is to be up front about it, so..." Tora began, "Planet Vegeta was struck by a large comet today. We barely managed to escape. We're not sure how many others survived."
"What...?" Raditz was shocked by this news.

"So...it's gone...?" Vegeta confirmed. Tora just nodded.

"Vegeta...I'm sorry." Raditz said.

"It's alright, Raditz. But just think, five years ago your father managed to kill Frieza to save the planet, and now this!"

"Yeah. Talk about a punch in the face!" Bardock joked, trying to lighten the mood. "Vegeta, you can stay with us if you want to."

"Actually, Father, he already was going to do that." Raditz said.

"SHUT UP!" Vegeta barked.

"Okay, okay! Temper, temper, temper." Raditz joked. I guess he inherited Bardock's sense of humor.

"Really? Why?" Bardock asked.

"Well, he seems to of found an Earthling he liked five years ago." Raditz teased.

"DON'T MAKE ME TELL YOU AGAIN!!" Vegeta yelled.

"Geez! I was just kidding around, Vegeta!" Raditz defended.

About then, Goku and Bardose came around the corner.

"Raditz! You're home!" Goku said happily.

"Hello Kakarot. And Bardose, too." he smirked.

"Hey, it's Vegeta!" Goku smiled.

"Yes, Kakarot." Vegeta rolled his eyes.

"Come on, Bardose, let's go outside and fight!" Goku suggested, turning his back at Vegeta's mean-ness.

"Yeah!" Bardose said, and they both ran out the door to spar.

"Those two..." Sash smiled.

"Yeah. They're so full of energy." Tora said.

"I know. Tell me about it." Bardock joked. "You guys look hungry."

There was no need for response, for their stomachs all growled. Even Goku and Bardose peeked their heads through the door.

"Father. When's supper?" Goku asked. Everyone began to laugh, and Bardock went into the kitchen. A little while later, Sash went into the kitchen.

"Do you want some help?" Sash asked.

"Nah. I've got it. You guys should rest." Bardock said. He had recently tried using the stove. (Talk about weird!)

"Are you sure?" she said. She felt guilty. Sash didn't like being a burden on her friends, you see.

"Yeah." he smiled.

"Okay. Let me know if you need help later." Sash said and went back into the room with Tora.

Bardose and Goku were outside, and had just finished their sparring match.

"You didn't seem fully focused. What's wrong, Bardose?" Goku asked.

"I'm just worried..." Bardose sighed.

"About what?" Goku questioned and sat down next to him.

"Well, we don't have a home any more." he sighed again.

"I've been homesick before when we would come to Vegeta. I had fun, but it wasn't home..." Goku said, trying to comfort his friend, "My father said that you and your parents are living with us now, right?"

"Yeah." Bardose nodded.

"Well, this is home now, then!" he smiled.

"Yeah! You're right!" Bardose cheered up.

"Kakarot! Bardose! Supper's ready." Sash called from the door.

"Let's go! I'm starving!" Goku said, and pulled off one of his trademark doofy Goku grins.

Everyone was chowing down like they hadn't eaten in years, as was typical for Saiyans as you may or may not know (if you don't, you need to watch the show more.), when Goku bit down on something hard.

"Ow!" he yelped. When he took it out of his mouth, it was a tooth! "Ah! Father! I'm falling apart!"

"What the-" Bardock said and looked in his hand, "You're not falling apart. You just lost a tooth, that's all."

"Do I need to push it back in?" Goku said.

"Nope. A new one will grow in in a few weeks." Bardock explained.

"Ooooh...Cool." the young Saiyan awed in amazement.,
