****A/N: Maz is still terrorizing Chibi Vegeta... that might be why this
chapter took me so long...
Thank Yous...
Burenda... *^-^* Yeah, he is cute. I had to describe him last time. I realized that nobody knew what he looked like. Kawaii is a really good description.
Celtic Angel... I'll try to remember to email you...
Tapion Trunks... That isn't really the end... Just having a minor case off writer's block... Sorry to leave you hanging like that!
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? ****

It had been two weeks since Bardock had been resurrected (along with some rather disturbing others), and, to tell the truth, he was bored. He had spent the past half hour listening as Goten and Trunks explained the finer points of video games to Max. They seemed to feel the need to turn Max into a "normal" boy.
It wasn't working.
The boy didn't find their video games interesting in the least, although Bardock, now that the brats were gone, felt the urge to slide up to the "Playstation" and see what they were talking about. He looked briefly through the discs to find out if any of them were interesting.
He finally pulled out one titled "Final Fantasy VII". It had a picture of a man on the front, carrying a very large sword. He read the case and decided to try it.

Several hours later, Turles sat down next to him. After staring at the screen for a few moments he asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm trying to beat this stupid onna that keeps jumping out of nowhere and attacking me!" Bardock growled frustratedly. "And whenever I win, she steals stuff!"
"What the Hell are you talking about?"
Bardock glared at him, "Just wait a couple of minutes; you'll see."
"I'm not sure if I want to know..." Turles shook his head. His twin sure had gotten strange... "I came in here to ask you something..."
Bardock jumped when the screen swirled, "Shuddap for a minute..."
"Uhmmm..."
"I said 'shuddap'!"
"..." Turles decided to just focus on the screen until Bardock was finished with whatever he was doing. On the screen, four animated characters battled, three on one side, one on the other. The lone fighter looked like a young woman who wore... very little. The other three were a blonde man, a large cat and another man who appeared to be smoking something. Turles assumed that this was what Bardock was talking about.
On the screen the "fight" ended and the group (of course) won. What ensued was some sort of written conversation, which Turles couldn't read. Finally, the three left the black haired girl alone in the --field? -- The girl ran back and forth a couple of times before also leaving the screen.
Bardock glanced over at him, "You can talk now."
Turles glared for a moment before talking, "I was going to ask you a question about an old rumor that I heard. I really couldn't ask you when Vegeta-sama was there."
"Don't call him that. It gives him a big head."
Turles almost fell over in shock. "Nani!?"
"Orders from Bulma-san."
"Uhmmm, okay..." Turles shook his head, trying to remember what he had been going to ask.
"The rumor...?" Bardock prompted.
"Before Vegeta-sei was destroyed... It was said that..."
"Go on..."
"The rumor was that a third class warrior, one Bardock, had been refusing to get retested. It was generally believed that if he HAD retested, he would have tested out as more powerful than Vegeta no Ou."
"I don't recall the rumor."
"So... you won't tell me whether or not it was true?"
"It could have been. I wasn't REFUSING to be retested; I was just gone all of the time... so, I never really got the chance to be retested."
"So... it could be true?"
"Well, I'm definitely stronger now, than he was then... I don't know about then, though. It is possible." Bardock winced suddenly. "Dammit!"
"Nani?"
Bardock looked over at him sheepishly. "I lost again."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Max perched in a tree next to a window from which he had heard his name.
A soft voice (Bulma) spoke, "He should be signed up for schooling."
Vegeta growled, "He wouldn't fit very well into Chikyuu schooling. He would be too far advanced of his age group, and... he doesn't seem to like people too much. He can be home-schooled."
"He needs to learn how to deal with children his age. It's more for social preparation that I want to send him, anyway."
"Hn. Some things aren't worth arguing with you about. Ask him first though, got it?"
{Schooling? Social preparation? What the Hell? Why would I want to deal with a bunch of annoying human children?}
* -Two more weeks later-
"I don't like it," he insisted to Bulma, "There's this girl in a pink dress that always follows me around! And she chatters... and... people with red hair should not wear pink."
"She'll leave you alone, eventually. You need the social interaction..."
"Then put me in a higher grade level. Maybe one where kids actually keep their hands to themselves?" he suggested.
"The never stop doing that. No matter what grade level you're in." (So true...)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
And Bardock continued to perfect his chocobos...
**** Well... It's short. It's the END? Not quite. Stay tuned for the epilogue! And the sequel!
Chibi Vegeta- *clinging to Lav's leg* *panting* What's a chocobo?
Birds that people ride in Final Fantasy games.
Chibi Vegeta- ............ *is confused... and tired*
