Meanwhile back on terai, king Bardock was seen pacing in his throne room, he was worried to the core and why wouldn't he be after the alarming dream that he had the last night that his son's ship exploded , so he asked his commander to go to vegeta and check on the status of the ship which held his precious son, after his mother passed, Bardock vowed to raise the precious baby in the way of truth and love, even though it went completely against saiyan pride but he didn't care and even though he would say it out loud... he loved his son very dearly.
But then his communicator rang, causing him to sit on his throne as he answered the call.
"First commander reporting sire" the saiyan on the screen replied as bowed to his ruler.
"Go ahead" he said, even though his face showed nothing g but power and finesse, his heart was handing by the string.
"Unfortuanly sire, the ship's signal can't be found" he said with his head down "but we found two signals that are very similar to the ship escape pods, but the signals are way off course and where found to crash on a planet called earth"
"I want the best retrieval team on their way to that planet before sundown" Bardock said with his tail swishing behind him, his golden eyes only accentuated by his crown as he looked at the screen.
"About that sir, should we inform king paragus about this news" he asked.
"No, that selfish fool wont care is his son is dead, have the team assembled and presented to me within the hour" Bardock replied.
"Sir Yes sir" his commander said before the call was disconnected.
"My poor son, who knows what horrors he's going through on that planet" he said as looked up to skies.
"Goku, get down from there"
"NO"
"I promise I'm not giving you a shot"
"DON'T CARE"
"It's just a pill and you dissolve it in water" chi-chi said as she tried to get the saiyan out of the tree that was right out side her window.
"Goku please, it 2 am in the morning, I'm tired and i have to work in the morning" she said as she rubbed her eyes.
"But it smells horrible" he replied from the branch he had perched on, chi-chi sighed as she came up with a quick plan.
"Goku"
"Yes"
"If you don't take your medicine, then I'll have to fine another boyfriend" she said as she turned her back on him, bad idea.
"So what's it going to..." she said as she turned back with a smirk but her smirk fell as she looked at the now floating and glowing saiyan.
"eek, goku please calm down i was only kidding" she said as he continued to growl as he came closer to her "i could never find someone like you" she said as he stood in front of her, his eyes had turned completely white as his hair swayed in the wind. His hand reached out to touch her check but she recoiled slightly, causing him to retract his hands as he looked down.
Seeing that he had calmed down, she came closer to him as she placed her hand on his chest only to be engulf in a almost bone crushing hug.
"please don't leave me" he said in her ear "you're all i have and i don't want you to go, i can't bear the though of you being with any one else chi-chi" he said as he looked right into her eyes "i know that i might be clumsy and sill but i really care about you and i would die for you if i had to...because i love you" he said to her.
"Oh goku I'm sorry for hurting you feelings, i could never leave you, i just wanted get you to take your medicine so that we could go to bed"
"I'm sorry" he said as he took her inside and placed her on the bed "I'll take my medicine" he said as she gave him the glass with a smile and giggled when she saw his cute face when he finished what was in the glass.
"Thank you" she said as he tucked her into the bed and kissed her fore head "good night goku"
"Good night chi-chi" he said before he left for his room.
"Hey Mira"
"Hmm"
"I know it's late but I'm kind of curious to know what's in that trunk"
"Just some old things, stuff that I'm not to keen of seeing" she said as they snuggled on her bed since it was bigger.
"Can i see them" he asked as he nuzzled her hair, taking in her sweet scent.
"Well...you can but i have no idea how I'm going to open" she said as she watched his tail swish back and forth, just like a cat's.
"I'll open it" he said to her causing her to look up at him with a puzzled look.
"How?" she asked him, but he just laughed as he laid her down on the bed.
"Don't worry about that" he said with a smile as he tucked her in "just sleep Mira"
"Good night brolly" she said as he walked to the door, then he turned back and smiled at her.
"Good night Mira" he said as he went to his room.
"Is everything in place" Bardock asked as he walked down the hall with his commanders at his sides.
"Yes sir and you might be surprised at who asked to join the team" they replied as they reached the grand hall.
"Well is this a surprise" Bardock said as he saw who was waiting for him "prince vegeta...what are you doing here" he asked
"I heard about the situation and decide to take the task by my self" vegeta replied.
"And why would that be" he asked, not that he thought that the prince was incapable but he was curious.
"that is for my own personal knowledge, how ever after i retrieve them, then i would also take them to their destination to complete their task, then i would bring your son back to you" he said "so i will be on my way" he said as he left the hall "I'll keep you update and i will depart in the hour" he said to Bardock.
"That boy "Bardock said as he shook his head "when is he ever going to learn" he sighed as he went back into his home.
brolly woke up the next morning as the sun shone through his window, he rubbed his eyes as he got out of bed, and went down the hallway, since he could hear that Mira was awake.
"Well aren't you adorable" he could hear from inside her room, curious to know who she was talking to, he knocked on her door as he heard a "coming"
The door opened reveling Mira who was in her black and pink dress robe "good morning" she said with a smile.
"good morning Mira" he replied with a smile "umm...who are you talking to" he asked as she opened her door allowing him to come in and there on her bed, drinking a bottle was a baby, she had big brown eyes, and curly hair that was held up with a bow, she had a pink dress on with matching shoes.
"Brolly, meet baby Aimee, I'm watching her this today while her mom works" she said as she picked up the baby and brought her over to him "is she adorable" she said as she snuggled the little girl.
"Umm" he said as didn't really know what to say for some reason, as he watched Mira entertain the baby.
"Brolly" she said causing him to look down at her "would you like to hold her" she asked.
"How" he asked as she signaled for him to sit on the bed, which he did, then she placed the baby in his arms.
"There" she said as she let go of the baby "how does that feel" she asked.
"Weird" he said as he looked at the little girl who was very interested in his tail, so before the baby could do some teething damage, she took her back from him.
"Let me put the little girl to bed and then I'll make you breakfast ok" she said as she placed the baby into her swing.
"Ok" he said as he went back to his room, sitting on the bed, he thought about what had happened and how it had a weird but nice feeling.
"Hey brolly" she said as she came into his room "are you ok"
"Yeah" he replied as she sat beside him.
"Did that bring back any memories" she asked as he shook his head.
"No but i remembered something last night" he said as he told her his horrid memory that he recall the previous night.
"Wow" she said as looked at the scar on his side, she gently touched as if it was fresh "as horrible as that is, what i want to know is where you father was doing all of that" she said as she felt his tail wrap itself around her waist.
"He was the reason i was attacked" he replied her.
"Even so" she said to him "where was he" she asked as he held her close.
"I don't know" he whispered against her hair.
"Chi-chi where are going" goku asked as he watched chi-chi go through her wardrobe.
"I'm going out with a few friends tonight" she replied him as she looked at her clothes, bulma had called her that morning and asked if they where still on for that night to which she replied yes.
"Friends?" he asked.
"Yep" she said as she added another dress to her maybe pile.
"Can i come" he asked with a smile as his tail wagged behind him.
"Sorry goku but you have to stay here" she said ruffling is hair as his smile fell into a pout.
"Why not"
"Because it's girls only" she said as she reached into her closet and pulled out a white dress with black flowers on it.
"I like that one" he piped up.
"Really, why" she asked.
"Cause it simple but pretty, just like you" he said causing her to blush at his cuteness.
"Well then" she said as she walked over and kissed his cheek "i guess I've found my dress"
"i can't believe you did this" Mira said as she looked at the now unlocked trunk, after breakfast, they went back into the garage where he lifted the truck and brought it inside the house, as if that wasn't enough, he crushed the lock with one hand like it was made of wet sand.
"Well" he said as he led the lid "may i take a look"
"Sure" she said as he opened the truck, which was filled with trophies, ribbons, pictures of her younger self and letters.
"Why did you lock these away" he said he picked up a stack of pictures.
"I didn't want to see my old life, i felt like it was just a hassle and pain to look at them" she said as he went through the pictures.
"Mira...is this you?" he asked as he held up a picture of an adorable 3 year old, lying on a bed with an older man holding her close but what got his attention were the needles that protruded from his arms.
"Yeah" she said as she took the picture from him "that was my last picture with my daddy, he was so weak and yet at that moment, he was the strongest and most powerful man alive" she said with a sad smile.
"How so?" he asked, the man in the photo looked so frail, how could she called him strong.
"he held out for me, he knew that he was going to die but his sheer will kept him alive till he could go no more and for some reason his last words to me were about power" she said as a tear fell as she wiped it away.
"Mira" he said as he reached into the trunk and pulled out an unopened letter "this letter is for you" he said but she turned away from him.
"I can't" she said as she covered her eyes.
"Why" he asked as he held her from behind.
"That letter is from my grandpa" she whispered "i don't have the strength to read it" she said causing him to frown as he though about her statement.
"Then why don't i read it to you" he asked but she quickly shook her head.
"i...i can't" she said "you don't understand, it's my fault he's gone" she said as she started to cry again "brolly i beg you...take that out of here, i cant bear to remember what happened" she said to him a she tried to leave.
"No" he said causing her to look up at him.
"What?" she asked him.
"I refuse to let you wallow in your misery and pain, you might had been weak alone but not anymore" he said as he picked up the letter and opened it, he took out the letter and unfolded it "Mira, read it"
"Why should i" she yelled.
"because i said so" he lashed back causing the wall to shake and her to recoil with a shriek "don't you see Mira" he said as his aura enveloped them both "your pains, fears, they anger me, they make me feel a rage that i didn't know existed" he said as he placed his hand on her cheek "your pain is my pain now and likewise my strength is yours" he said as he placed his hands on her waist "read it Mira, i know it will make you sad but I'm here for you the same way you've been there for me"
Mira looked up at him "you promise" she asked him.
"No" he said as he kissed her "i swear it" he whispered against her lips as she wrapper her arms around his neck as he kissed her again; she pulled back to his distant.
"Ok...I'll read it" she said with a sigh as she took the letter from him.
My dearest Mirabella Adanna.
If you are reading this then that means that I'm no longer with you, i know how sad you'll be baby, but i just want you to know a few things.
That no matter how old you get, you are just like a fine aged wine, which gets better in age and higher in value.
You are beautiful no matter what, my hazel eyed girl, either you grow tall or you stay small.
You have a smile that can light a whole room and a voice that was blessed from the heavens.
Your kind heart is so beautiful and sweet that you touch everyone you meet.
But most of all.
Know that you are in charge of you and you can choose to feel any way you want to. It takes work to be your own master – don't let the thought monsters control you! You can control them! Don't accept defeat, just keep working at it. Even I struggled with those buggers from time to time. Know that it will all be ok, especially if you love yourself and remember that your grandma and I will always love you no matter what- you're never alone.
And also know that when the time is right, you'll meet the one who will make every pain you have felt go away and will praise your battle scars, one day princess... you will meet your prince.
But as for me, I'm in heaven watching over you, always humming that song that your father and i wrote when you were born.
Take care my love and remember that I'm never to far away.
Love...grandpa
Brolly watched as she dropped the letter as her body began to quiver, her eyes hidden by her hair. He reached out to hold her as she looked upset.
"Mira?" he called out as she looked up and she was...smiling!
"You sir" she said as she leapt into his arms "are amazing" she said as she kissed his cheek before she hugged him.
"you were right, i should live for me and the people i love no one else" she said as she looked up at him as she leaned in to kiss him but a loud cry from up the stairs, ruined the moment as they looked at each other and laughed.
"Come on" she said as she led him up the stairs.
Bardock stood at his bed room balcony as he watched prince vegeta's ship leave terai, he called his father to ask him about it, but king vegeta didn't seem to care much.
"may your journey be a successful one vegeta, please bring my son back home" he said as he went back into his room to retire for the night, the journey to earth would take 2 weeks so all he could do was hope.
a reunion is coming soon.
