A/N: Hello all! ^_^  

"Alright Vegeta, what is this about?" Piccolo said turning back to the arrogant prince.

Vegeta watched Videl disappear into the palace as soon as she was gone he turned back to the two men standing in front of him.

 "Alright Namek, what have you done?" He hissed narrowing his eyes in anger.

 "What?!" Piccolo barked a look of disbelief washed over his face.

Gohan looked completely lost at this and decided it was best if he went inside with the others. Vegeta scowled ignoring Gohan as he walked by, his focus was on the Namek in front of him.

 "You did something back in the time you came from, what did you do?!" Vegeta growled taking a step towards Piccolo.

 "Nothing!" Piccolo shouted baring his teeth and clenching his fists at his sides.

Vegeta shook his head, "No," He said softly his eyes glowing with anger, "You did something and it changed our dimension…"

 "How could I have changed this dimension, Vegeta? When Marai Trunks came and changed this dimension it didn't change his. And how do you know something changed here when no one else does?"

 Vegeta turned his head away exhaling out his nose, "I'm not sure why I wasn't effected but tell me something Namek, where is the little black genie man?"

Piccolo furrowed his eye ridges and looked around, "You mean Mr. Popo?"

Vegeta nodded once turning back to Piccolo, "He just disappeared one day."

  "And know one even knows who he was, right?" Piccolo said slowly and sighed, "Is that the only thing that changed Vegeta?"

 "No." Vegeta growled, "Bulma hates me,"

 "Bulma has always hated you Vegeta." Piccolo interrupted exasperatedly.

 "WE had a child Namek! You remember Trunks?! Well he's gone, missing!"

Piccolo could have sworn he heard someone chuckling from somewhere, "What about the androids? They came didn't they?"

Vegeta shook his head, "No…"

After warning Vegeta that a different evil possibly stronger than Freiza and the Androids (that never came) might come, Piccolo left the lookout in search of Goku.

  "Son!" Piccolo shouted pounding of the front door of the Son family's home.

The door suddenly opened and Piccolo stumbled forward into the house just catching himself before he fell into Goku.

 "Piccolo?" Goku said in surprise then grinned, "What's up?"

 "What happened here while I was gone, Son?"

Goku raised his eyebrows, "Nothing, why? Something wrong Pic?"

 "Yea something's wrong!" Piccolo snapped.

Goku suddenly became serious, "What's going on Piccolo?"

 "Androids were supposed to have come several years ago, don't you find it odd that they never showed up?"

Goku shook his head, "What androids?"

 Piccolo bared his teeth in frustration, "Think Son! Don't you remember Marai Trunks? Or even Mr. Popo for that matter!?"

Goku backed up several steps in confusion, "You feeling okay Pic?"

 "Son, I know you have a short memory but this is ridiculous!" Piccolo growled then something hit him.

 'A chance to start over… for everything to go as planned…'

Piccolo backed up away from Goku, shock and fear washed over his face briefly, "Crap…" He whispered before bolting out the door and into the sky.

 "Piccolo!" Goku shouted after him, looking for answers he turned to leave but stopped in his tracks.

 "Who was that?" Said the woman walking up the driveway carrying a bag of groceries.   

Goku smiled warily greeting the woman and taking the bag from her, "Piccolo." He said simply and turned to take the groceries inside.

 "Did you just say, Piccolo?" The woman said grabbing his arm.

Goku turned to her and nodded, "Yes, Piccolo. An old friend of mine."

 "He didn't happen to have a friend with him did he?"

Goku furrowed his eyebrows in thought, "No. Well, earlier he did… I think her name was Ki… Kiseki."

 The woman's face lit up briefly, "Kiseki?! She's back?!"

Goku nodded dumbfound and then almost dropped the bag he was holding when the woman pulled on his arm.

 "Let's go!" She shouted tugging on his arm.

 "Tora!" Goku half laughed at the woman's antics,

The woman scowled briefly then sighed, "Look I haven't seen Kiseki in forever! Ever since she left with him."

 "With who?" Goku asked naively.

Tora shook her head, "Piccolo."

 "Oh." Goku said then smiled and sat the bag down on the ground and picked Tora up, "Flying is faster." He smiled and then took off into the air.

'I can't let it happen…' Piccolo thought over and over to himself as he flew to nowhere in particular.

He slowed to a stop realizing that he didn't know where he was, a vast wasteland spread out in every direction with canyons and little vegetation. A familiar Ki was located right beneath him…

Piccolo exhaled through his nose in disgust, "Yamucha."

  Just as his name was spoken the man exited the house and happened to glance up into the sky. Startled he jumped backwards and into his fighting stance. Piccolo sighed and landed in front of him.

Yamucha relaxed and straightened up out of his fighting stance, "What do you want Piccolo?" He asked with a slight frown.

 "Vegeta… has said that some things have changed around here since I left, I'm just trying to figure out what."

 Yamucha shook his head sadly, "Yea, he's been saying that a lot recently. He even told Bulma that they had, had a kid together! Can you believe that? A kid!" Yamucha chuckled shaking his head again.

 Piccolo raised an eye-ridge, "Is that all he's said?"

 "Well, uh, no actually. You see Piccolo, Vegeta's gone crazy so we haven't really been paying attention to him."

Piccolo scowled at this then took off into the air without saying a word.

~*~

"HE SAID I WAS WHAT?!" Vegeta roared in fury.

Piccolo folded his arms over his chest in amusement; a smirk tugged at the corner or him mouth.

 "What's so funny Namek?" Vegeta growled through gritted teeth.

 "Knock it off Vegeta, quit acting like a child."

Vegeta's eyes bugged briefly, "A what?!" He growled and before he could go on any further Ganjo came barreling out of the palace doors and into Piccolo's chest.

A startled gasp escaped him on contact; slowly he looked down at the boy in his arms with raised eye ridges.

 "Daddy." Ganjo sighed hugging Piccolo around the neck, "Where'd you go?"

 "No where." Piccolo said with slight confusion and glanced over his shoulder at Vegeta who looked just as bewildered as him.

 "Mommy and me were worried."
