****A/N: You really should thank Chibi Vegeta… With his help, I'm getting these chapters out quicker than ever… *^~^*

Thank you…

Burenda… The colors suit him, don't yah think? Sorry… in case you're bored, here's another filler…

Whoever it was who put me on their favorites list… Here's a big, virtual kiss. I love you! *wipes eyes dramatically, with a sniff*

Disclaimer: Chibi Vegeta- She don't own didly squat.

He's rude, but he's right *sighs*.

Warnings: Attempted humor, OOC… all that kind of stuff… minor bad language… yadda yadda…

Oh! If anybody wonders, thoughts are in between these "{ }" and Bardock's visions will come between these "". This "( )" is me interrupting. A computer's voice will be between these, " ' ' ". A change of POV will be "*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*". Scene changes will be "*". Okay? ****

Bardock slowly became used to his son's oddball friends, although they adjusted to him very quickly… He had a few shocks… He had seen some of these people in his visions.

The short fellow, Krillin, was a rather humorous character. He related many stories of his and Kakkarot's adventures as chibis. Vegeta-sama's mate had quite a few to tell also.

The adults' stories seemed to center around serious adventures (Krillin's went into great detail on the humorous parts, though…). When the chibis started telling stories, they centered around things like mooning the "bad guys" and playing pranks on Vegeta-sama.

Goten and Trunks, and even Marron, all seemed to latch onto Bardock, which disturbed the said Saiyajin. Very soon, he became a "target" for pranks, though.

He had been on Chikyuu-sei for only -what?- a month, and the worst they had done as of yet, was dye all of his clothes in multiple neon colors. Fortunately, it didn't affect the black pants, so everyone was saved from a disturbed Bardock chibi hunting buck-naked (Wah! Image! *giggles*). He absolutely refused to wear those colors! For the most part, though, they couldn't get him to react to their pranks.

They were actually disturbed at what lengths they had to go through to get a reaction…

He had a few more visions of the coming conflict. Each time he paid more and more attention to little details that would tell when this was going to occur… and other things. Who all was there? Who was hurt, who still stood?

He finally decided that it would be almost a full cycle of the planet before trouble came. After a bit of discussion with the others, it was decided to train as hard as possible up until the stranger arrived.

The chibis decided to stop playing pranks for a while, and joined the adults in training. Bardock was amazed at their power… Hell, he was amazed at Kakkarot's power first and foremost…

They were all training hard, but Bardock trained harder than anybody else… They were so much stronger than him that he knew he would probably never catch up to them. But he would try. And if he didn't make it, he would try, try again.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The chibi awoke with a start. {Why did the computer wake me?}

'We are in need of fuel.'

{Kuso!}

'There is an occupied planet nearby. Shall we stop?'

"Hai," the boy grumbled. Delays. He hated delays.

Might as well have fun while he was on the planet, right? No killing though. He only killed when he had to. Or on orders.

{Maybe they have an amusement park? Maybe there're other people my age. Maybe…} His train of thought paused. He shook his head as he realized that it didn't matter. Even if there were other chibis there, they would be too innocent for him to make friends with.

He sighed, not for the first time wishing that he had never left home in the first place. What was he thinking? How had he left? He didn't remember leaving.

He shook his head again. It didn't matter. What mattered now was that he had to earn his keep, and that meant kill when he was ordered to. Well, he was about to get a few days off from acting like a proper soldier.

He grinned at that. His tail twitched at the thought of things like water parks and mugs of steamed milk and bowls of stew, {Yum!}.

'Max? We will be landing in -three- minutes.' (Insert countdown…)

*

There were things that were even better than steamed milk, Max decided as he licked the ice cream off of his chin. It was "coffee" flavored, and as he heard, both ice cream and coffee come from Chikyuu-sei.

{Maybe I should defect, and live the rest of my life on Chikyuu-sei eating coffee-flavored ice cream and… Hn, this is so good…} He realized that he was drooling as he ate it, but, for now, he didn't really care. He wondered what other kinds of good food there were on Chikyuu-sei…

The only people he HAD to kill were the one's generating the high ki, so, he DIDN'T have to destroy everyone else… He could kidnap some gourmet chefs and live the rest of his life (some six hundred or so years) in bliss. It didn't really occur to him that a nine year old should not get to eat whatever they want.

Maybe he didn't really want to fight anybody on the planet… but His Eminence was infinitely more powerful than Max could ever hope to be… at least that's what everybody always told him.

Of course they could just be lying through their asses.

'BEEP' His earring (which was a communication device, similar to a scouter) warned him that his ship was ready. It was time to go.

{Kisama… And I was just starting to have fun…}

**** Well, decided that I just had to flesh out the villain… He's not the cold-blooded type that most of the villains seem to be. After all, he's just nine years old! I was just about drooling when I wrote the bit about coffee flavored ice cream… *drools*

Chibi Vegeta- Hey! This is the bad guy! You're not supposed to let him have good things like ice cream!

He's got to have some weakness!

Chibi Vegeta- You weren't evil enough this chapter.



Chibi Vegeta- See! You didn't even do a cliffy!
