****A/N: Oh, Kami! I thought that I would be in trouble for that last one…
*giggles* You know… peeps upset about the sex talk… This is supposed to be
a humor fic…!
Thank you…
Vegeta Jr… I really try to make them long, but sometimes I get to a point where… *looks up* Hmmm? Oh, I was rambling again, wasn't I? *blushes*
Burenda… This chapter will explain all… I think. Goku will explain all… or I will… I think.
Rainymalamute… Okay… yet another person to email…
Ratha… What does ROTFLMAO mean? Goku's smarter than everybody thinks… And it's generally believed that Piccolo is embarrassed by… physical relationships… Yeah, *sighs* Bardock is cool *drools*.
Celtic Angel… I loved last chapter too… I'm writing! I'm emailing!
Disclaimer: I have amnesia. I think I am Mr. Toriyama… What? I'm a girl? Well… that explains a few things… I guess I don't own it… too bad.
Warnings: Attempted humor, OOC… all that kind of stuff… Saiyajin have no modesty, so… they wouldn't be embarrassed that easily… at least, not like us ningen.
Oh! If anybody wonders, thoughts are in between these "{}" and Bardock's visions will come between these "".****

Bardock chuckled quietly in the corner. He hadn't really gotten to talk to his son yet, but watching everything that was going on was more fun than he had had in years… his time. Vegeta's story had Kakkarot portrayed as a ditz who also happened to be a great fighter, but reality had, much to the Prince's, {King's,} Bardock reminded himself, surprise, proven him wrong.
He decided, right upon seeing and hearing her, that he liked his son's mate. She was beautiful and had the most wonderful sense of humor. He was glad to find that his son's mate was cunning enough to make up for what she lacked in strength.
He was the almost silent witness to the change in the attitudes of Kakkarot's friends. The shock that passed over the Namek's face had been wonderful… and the way Vegeta's face had twitched… He chuckled again. At least these people were amusing. He hadn't laughed so much since he had caught Toma in the beer barrel…
His face settled into a serious expression. Toma… Totepo, Panboukin and Celipa... Everyone that he had known, for that matter, were gone. He shook his head. His sudden change of mood would probably attract attention, and at the moment, attention was the last thing he wanted.
He smiled and quietly excused himself. He would be able to think more easily in the fresh air… This room was just a little to crowded for his tastes.
He finally managed to make it to the door. Once outside, he stretched and reflected on all that he had heard that day.
What Vegeta had told him: Kakkarot had been hit on the head as a child and lost his memories. He seemed almost child-like, most of the time, and yet… he became a vicious fighter when roused… not only vicious, but cunning too. Bardock laughed. Kakkarot had shown that he could be cunning…
Then there was what Kakkarot himself had said. He had had amnesia up until he was around fifteen, and had had his first senzu bean. Senzu beans could take care of almost any physical damage. Viruses and the like wouldn't be affected, but any physical problem that lowered one's energy level would be healed. Kakkarot preferred what he had become to what he was supposed to become, therefore, he didn't change. His memories, everything had come back… everything but the vicious instinct that would have caused him to destroy all life on the planet.
Bardock was definitely proud of his son. It wasn't easy to defy one's programming…
He drifted off… To anyone who would have seen, it would have appeared that he was taking a nap…
(Bardock's vision, duh!) He stood in the middle of the desert. A young child attacked his son and Vegeta (merged as Vegeto). The boy laughed as he dodged "Vegeto's" fists. The fight wore on until it was apparent that Vegeto was loosing. How could a child be so strong? A malevolent gleam entered the boy's eyes as he rammed his fist through Vegeto's body. Vegeto coughed up blood. His eyes widened in pain. A soft glow enveloped his body as he separated into two entities that were Kakkarot and Vegeta. They lay passed out on the ground at the boy's feet, dying. The boy grinned maliciously at Bardock. He lifted his bloody hand to beckon Bardock closer…
Bardock gasped in shock as he came back to. That was bloody wicked. He stood up to go back inside as somebody flew up to the house.
The black haired girl landed three yards away from Bardock. "Hey, Goku- san, is Gohan home?" she asked walking a little closer.
Bardock blinked. He WAS NOT Kakkarot. "I am not Kakkarot," he said evenly.
"I didn't say Kakkarot…" she began, glaring.
"Same thing. I'm not him. And last I saw, Gohan was high-tailing it out of here in a fit of embarrassment. Who are you?"
She seemed flustered, "I'm Videl. If you're not Son Goku, then… Who are you?"
"I am Bardock. Kakkarot is my son…" he snorted at the inadvertent pun.
"You're Gohan's grandpa? You don't look that old," she spoke accusingly.
"I'm not that old," he shrugged. He suddenly wanted to hear more of the wild chatter that was coming from indoors. He turned towards the house.
The girl shrieked. Bardock winced. Did all of the ningen females sound like that?
"Nani?" he growled, turning back around.
"Was that a… a… t-t-tai-tail?" she asked, eyes wide.
"Nani?" he mumbled. What was so shocking about his tail? It came to him as a shock when he realized that ningen didn't have tails, {But they look so much like Saiyajin! How could they not have tails?}. "Hai, that is my tail," he said proudly. He was rather fond of his tail.
The girl was hyperventilating. "You have a tail?"
"Hai, I have a tail."
She shivered. "That's weird…"
**** Okay… once again, I'm leaving it for now… maybe some of the other Z senshi will see Bardock in the next chapter, but for now… sayonara!
Thank you…
