CHAPTER 2

Goku went to find Bulma and Bra first, going to where he had last sensed their ki. He found himself in the middle of the forest, with markings of a spaceship not five feet from him. Vegeta was sitting on a log, but stood up when he saw Goku appear. He crossed his arms and smirked,

"Well, I see punctuality isn't your thing Kakarott."

"Vegeta-san, I didn't see you. Do you know what happened to your family?"

"You baka, did you think I'd be standing here if I knew?" Vegeta said with a glare.

"It was worth a shot." Goku shrugged.

Goku bent over to study the markings, deciding that the only place nearby that they could hide out would be Mount Fuji. Vegeta smiled.

"I see you figured out where they must've taken them."

"What I don't understand is that Trunks-chan was knocked out no where near here. Did you see that Vegeta-san?" Goku frowned.

"Why, of course Kakarott." Vegeta smirked.

"So, what happened?" Goku asked, hope filling him.

"I knocked him out, because he was being a nuisance."

Goku frowned and Vegeta let a smile pass his lips.. Then, he turned his attention back to the tracks he'd seen earlier. There were three sets of footprints. One was a webbed looking footprint, and the other two were human. Obviously Bulma and Bra, but who made the webbed footprint. Vegeta glared at Goku.

"I suppose you just noticed the Gurglon's footprint."

"Gurglons? What are those?" Goku asked with an eyebrow arched.

Vegeta threw a disgusted look Goku's way, "They are the beings that are similar to Nameks. Their planet was taken over by Saiyans years ago. How any survived at all, I don't know."

Goku looked over at Vegeta, puzzled. "So, what do they look like?"

"They have the same look as Nameks, but they're furry, instead of slimy. Not much an improvement if you ask me."

***author's note: Oooo, sexy! Hahaha***

Piccolo stepped out from behind a tree and glared at Vegeta. "Maybe he should tell the story right, instead of the moron's version."

Vegeta glared at Piccolo with absolute hatred. Piccolo continued like he didn't even notice Vegeta. "They traded with our people. We had so much water, when they had hardly any. They also helped us by teaching us ways to recycle our water as well as they did. The recycling only worked for a certain amount of time, so when they would run out, we'd lend them more, until Guru's hundredth child was born. At that time, the Gurglon's were not able to trade, for even though they needed the water, the Saiyans were attacking them. Some escaped to our planet, but died within hours.

"The Gurglons were delicate creatures, and they couldn't take the temperatures we had on our planet. They soon became immune to the cooler air of Namek by growing thicker fur coats. As soon as they did, they started to create problems. They ate too much, and they liked vegetables, which were put on our alters. They vandalized almost every shrine, and so the Nameks banished all Gurglon's from our planet. That, Vegeta, is why there are still some out there."

Vegeta smirked. "Now, thanks to you Nameks, there is another galactic problem. Does anyone else think that Piccolo's people are the cause for all of these problems?"

"Vegeta-san, just let Piccolo-san be."

Piccolo looked over at Vegeta, "Yeah, and get back to whatever you were thinking of. Wasn't it food?"

Vegeta glared at Piccolo, but before anyone could say anything, Goku looked at Piccolo, "Actually, speaking of food, I'm awfully hungry."

Piccolo sighed and Vegeta mumbled something under his breath. Piccolo went over to Goku and told him to go eat, and to take Vegeta with him (which only made Vegeta want to blast him even more). He could handle watching over the site. Vegeta smiled at Piccolo,

"Namek, didn't you lose ChiChi-san? How are we suppose to even trust you with these clues?"

Goku shook his head, and instant transported to Trunks location, before it got too awkward. Vegeta, taking a hint, waved goodbye to Piccolo with a big smirk on his face. Piccolo restrained himself by using Namekian relaxation techniques. Sometimes he wished he could wipe Vegeta off the face of the Earth.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Goten's face lit up when he saw his father return. His frown quickly turned into a frown when he saw Trunks' limp form in his hands. Goku gently put Trunks down on the couch and Goten jumped off of his chair to see what was wrong. "Otoosan, what happened to Trunks-chan?"

Goku's frown deepened. "Vegeta-san."

Goten nodded and then began to poke Trunks' mouth, making him snort. Goten and Goku laughed heartily, but stopped when Vegeta threw open the door. "Goku-san, is there something funny about one of my son's many weaknesses?"

Goku shrugged. "Well, lets eat, and then we'll talk."

Goten nodded heartily in agreement and raced Goku to the table. Goku won, of course. Vegeta rolled his eyes, gave Trunks a disgusted look, and then joined the Son's at the table. ChiChi served them, nagging constantly at their table manners. How does Goku stand that woman, thought Vegeta. If my wife ever nagged that much, I think I'd find a new one.

Vegeta thought again of Bra, and broke his chopsticks. Goten looked over with a raised eyebrow, but Goku didn't catch it, he was too busy eating. ChiChi simply gave Vegeta another pair, commented on his lack of manners, and sat down to eat. Before she could take a bite, Goten asked for thirds and Goku for fifths.

ChiChi smiled as Vegeta TOLD her to get him some more food. Usually she would force him to ask, but today, Goku was staying home, so she just served them. When she sat down, she asked Vegeta about Bulma, and why Trunks was knocked out. Vegeta glared at her,

"You women are just too talkative. Eat, woman, and I might not blast you."

Vegeta waited for her, or Goku, to respond, but was surprised when Goten threw his chopsticks right at Vegeta's head.

"Have more respect, Vegeta-san."

Vegeta glared, but then resumed eating, surprising everyone at the table. Goten frowned. He really wanted to anger Vegeta, and maybe fight with him. Vegeta seemed to always make fun of him, so he got him back in whatever way he could. This time, though, Vegeta seemed occupied. Goten knew then that something was wrong.

Goku sighed and pushed back his bowl. "That was great ChiChi. Thanks. Now, I've got to go. Goten-chan?"

Goten looked up, mouth stuffed with food, and hands rice covered. "Maeh?"

"Do you wanna come along?" Goku asked, trying not to laugh, so Goten wouldn't spray him with food.

"MAEH!!!" Goten yelled, covering him in rice and chicken chunks. Oh well, so much for that idea.

***author's note: my goodness ^.~ what was I thinking?***

Goten gulped down the food that wasn't all over Goku, "Sorry, Otoosan."

Goten grinned sheepishly. Then went into the bathroom to get a towel. ChiChi took the moment to yell at Goku. "GOKU-SAN? Where do you think you're going? You've been gone too much. You know that we really need you here."

Goku winced, "I know, but Vegeta-san needs me even more and...."

Vegeta interrupted him with a snort, but Goku continued, as if Vegeta hadn't. "Bulma-san could be in trouble."

ChiChi's face paled. "Bulma-san in trouble? Why? Is she okay? Where is she?"

Vegeta leaned over and asked Goku, "Are you sure you don't want to blast her, she'd be a lot quieter?"

Vegeta ducked as chopsticks flew over his head, shrugged and leaned back in his chair. ChiChi looked at him in disgust, and turned back to Goku. "Well?"

Goku cleared his throat, and was saved by Goten throwing a towel over his head. Goku wiped off the rice, kissed ChiChi, grabbed Goten and Vegeta, then waved goodbye to her, before she could get a word out.

***author's note: SAVED BY THE SON ^.^***

ChiChi slumped back into her chair, looked into her untouched rice bowl and pushed around the rice. She threw the bowl across the room. Goku made her so mad, and yet...she was already missing him. She fell back into her chair and began to cry. Not noticing the silent Trunks sneak out the front door. What she did notice, later on, was that the rice bowl she had thrown across the room was empty.

***author's note: was Trunks hungry or what?***

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chibi Trunks had it rough his whole life. Not like Goten, but rough enough to make him wish he was normal. Watching his father die, his father hating him, and forgotten when Bra was born. Goku seemed to get along great with both of his sons, when he was around. If his father were more like Goku....

But then, his father would forget birthdays, and never be there, even if it was just to criticize. Of course, he still loved his father, but never receiving that love...it made him feel unwanted. He had never felt love in his life, from anyone. Bra was with Tayhei, and Bulma had Vegeta. He felt out of place, and only felt like he fit in with Goten. Unfortunately, Goten was hardly ever around, even though he did nothing but watch television at his house.

Trunks finished off the bowl ChiChi threw and snuck out the door. When he got outside, he wondered if he really wanted to go. What was he saying? Pass up an adventure, thought Trunks with a smirk, not on his life! He took off toward Mount Fuji. He decided that his father wasn't going to just fly into Mount Fuji. So, he would have to walk, he figured about an hour and thirty minutes. He didn't want to chance seeing his dad. Besides, the fresh air would be good for him, and he'd have time to think.

He'd think about how he'd save his father, and how his father would congratulate him on a good job. How his father would love him and how happy he'd be. Or what the look would be on Bra's face as she told Trunks she loved him, and shoved Tayhei away. Trunks smiled, realizing that he'd really like this walk.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vegeta had been walking through the woods for an hour now. The two idiots were playing eye spy, and Piccolo was in front. Vegeta hated having to walk behind Goku, because no matter what he did, Goku didn't think it was fair to leave the last person behind. He also felt Vegeta should join in the game. Vegeta gave him a disgusted look and walked past the bakas and Piccolo.

Vegeta hated being first, but it was better than being anywhere near Goku and Goten. Besides, Vegeta wanted to get Bulma and Bra back. He was really looking forward to the fight. He needed to fight a fight that he could win, but not easily, just to know that he was still the prince. After all, since Goku and the others invited themselves, they could see a real master at work.

***author's note: talk about grumpy, lighten up, play some eye spy ^.^***

Vegeta smiled and felt an old feeling stir up inside of him. Anticipation. Anticipation of the upcoming battle. The battle that would prove that the Prince of Saiyans was no one to push around. Vegeta stopped at the base of the mountain, then looked around, realizing he had no clue where the villains were.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trunks had been walking for about an hour and fifteen minutes when he heard voices. He quickly disguised his ki, and then crept up to listen in. Vegeta was throwing rocks at the mountain, making them sink in without even making an effort. Piccolo seemed to have his attention elsewhere, and Goku and Goten were playing eye spy.

"I spy, something green." Trunks almost laughed hearing Goku ask Goten

Trunks couldn't believe the stupidity. That's all that surrounded them! Green was everywhere, but he had a feeling that Goten would guess it. They were both idiots, after all.

"PICCOLO-SAN!" Goten yelled.

Piccolo snapped out of his trance, looking around wildly, "What's wrong? Is someone here?"

Goku, at the same time, was laughing. "How'd you know?"

***author's note: man, I dunno what was going through my mind ^.^***

Trunks almost said that they were both idiots, and thought alike, but Vegeta beat him to it. Trunks was grateful that he had, because if he would've uttered anything, someone would've known he was there. He decided to sit down and relax, until they started to move. When he sat down, he sat on a branch.

He held his breath, but realized that no one had heard him. It was a good thing that Goku had resumed eye spy and Vegeta began to throw rocks again. All of a sudden a rock hit him in the forehead, and before he knew it, Piccolo had flipped him over and was holding his hands behind his back. Trunks gasped and then Piccolo stood up.

"You stupid boy. You think just because those two idiots didn't hear you, that we didn't? How is your forehead?" Vegeta said sarcastically.

Trunks flipped over and rubbed his forehead, waiting for the pain to disappear. Goten leaped off of his seat, not noticing the idiot comment at all.

"TRUNKS-CHAN!" Goten yelled, but was quieted with a rock thrown at his head. Goten's face turn red as Vegeta laughed.

"You baka. How loud do you plan on being?"

Goten glared at him, but quickly lost all anger when Trunks playfully threw a rock at him, "Yeah, loudmouth."

Goten laughed and threw a rock at Trunks, until they were both pelting each other with rocks. Goku laughed, and then joined in, when a rock missed Goten and hit him. Pretty soon they hit Vegeta, and he almost blasted Goten before Goku reminded him about not using any ki.

Vegeta, upset threw a rock as hard as he could at Goten, but Goten dodged it and hit Vegeta with a rock he had behind his back. Vegeta knew he just started it up again, so he stalked off into the woods, hearing Goku yelp in pain from a rock thrown at his head. Vegeta smiled, he probably should've done that before he left, but Piccolo got the job done. He looked the mountain up and down and began to climb, deciding he'd rather go by himself, wondering why he didn't in the first place.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Piccolo glared at them. They were just a bunch of kids, and he was upset that they weren't thinking of Bulma and Bra. Those two had been stolen, and now Goku, Goten, and Trunks were throwing rocks at each other. How could they be so childish when there were so many things to do. Like find Bulma and Bra or fighting the Gurglons. Why weren't they serious about this?

Piccolo cleared his throat, but no one paid attention.

"BAKA!" he yelled.

Goku, Goten, and Trunks all looked up at him. Piccolo sighed.

"Are we going to play games the whole time, or are we going to save Bulma-san and Bra-chan?"

Goku rubbed the back of his head and laughed, "Well, I guess we got a little sidetracked."

Piccolo hopped off the rock and glared at Goku. "Now, if you're done being nincompoops, I think it's time that we go find where Vegeta-san ran off to. Remember, no using ki."

Goten nodded, "Right, no using ki. Hey Trunks, I'll race you to the villains."

"Your on!"

Goten was about to take off, but Piccolo laid a hand on Goten's shoulder. "No flying, baka."

Goten smiled, "Oh yeah, I forgot you used ki to fly."

Piccolo sighed and headed off into the woods. If they were going to find Vegeta, they would have to hurry up. Goku ran up to Piccolo.

"Hey, Piccolo-san, I was wondering if you wanted to play eye spy."

Piccolo just looked at Goku. Goku didn't take the hint.

"Because, Trunks-chan and Goten-chan don't want to play and I'm bored."

Piccolo stared at Goku. "You've only been walking five minutes, how can you be bored?"

"I don't know."

Piccolo rolled his eyes. "I spy....something gray off in that direction."

Goku looked over there. "Where?"

"I don't know, why don't you check it out."

"Okay!"

***author's note: how rude!***

Piccolo almost laughed. Well, he thought, that was easy. Now just to keep him away for about another couple of hours. He'd probably have to play again, but he would make sure Goten, or Trunks, would play next time, because he was definitely not going to play little games with Goku. The only thing he'd do with Goku is fight, but they couldn't use ki, so he'd just have to settle for walking. Great, thought Piccolo, I just know I'm going to end up playing eye spy.

Initially Piccolo was playing eye spy, but COME ON! I mean, who would believe that. PICCOLO playing EYE SPY. That would be one whacked up world. (kinda like Dragon Ball Z Disco, hehe, gotcha ChiChi). Well, Arc, try and enjoy my story (big meanie.....just jokin. I love ya, ya heathen! :P)
