Sorry for not updating sooner :D I'll try and get more organized

Last time on Dragon Ball Z: Bardock comes home to meet Goku's family and reveals that there may be other Saiyans in special Standard Emergency Colonies (S.E.C.s).

Bardock looked at his son's shocked expression, understanding it perfectly.

"That's how I felt when I first learned about it. I never would have remembered it though, if I hadn't fallen here." He taps his head lightly and continues, "It must have shaken it loose from my memories."

Just then Chi Chi, over and done with the dinner's dishes, poked her head in the doorway and called sternly for Goku. He rose, apologizing to his father, then nervously walked out into the hallway to see what his wife wanted. Chi Chi had been holding this particular rant in her since Goku had flown off to inspect god knows what. She lifted her left index finger, preparing for a full throttle scolding.

"When were you going to tell me your father was coming? And did it ever occur to you that MAYBE I might need your help HERE?! Just because you see something in the distance falling towards earth doesn't mean you can run off at the drop of a dime! Honestly Goku!"

"Chi Chi I can explain, really!" Goku smiled and waved his hands across his chest, trying to ward off the dangerous finger wagging. "Well, it goes like this. I didn't know my father was coming, because technically he was dead for a very long time, but someone wished him back. That's where the falling object comes in, turns out it was my father."

Chi Chi stopped for a moment, open mouthed, processing this information. She brought the finger that had before, been waving in front of Goku, up to her lips in careful thought. Goku, taking this prime opportunity, patted his wife on the back lightly.

"I knew you wouldn't mind Chi Chi!" He grinned and stepped back into the living room, popping his head out one more time to smile at his wife. She steamed and stormed into Gohan's room, making sure he finished his term paper for school.

Outside, Piccolo watched Goku and his father talk about the old Saiyan planet. How the skies were a beautiful blood ruby-red and they had buildings that touched the sky, much like Earth. He felt uneasy about trusting Bardock, Goku's father or not. Piccolo knew that Goku sometimes did not have the best of judgments.

"Guess I'll just have to be on my toes then," Piccolo muttered. Hearing the back door open, he felt it better to leave, rather than face Chi Chi's wrath as she took out the garbage.

Early the next morning, Goku was keen on introducing his father to his sons, other friends and getting a little sparring in with him. Remembering Chi Chi's blow up the other night, he scribbled down a note for her and stuck it on the fridge. She was out shopping and would be home later. At the sound of all this hustle and bustle, Bardock, Gohan and Goten all aroused from their slumbers to join Goku in the kitchen.

"Hey dad what's the rush?" asked Gohan sleepily, "Usually you at least wait until mom's home before we go off and train."

"Yeah, it's too early to be up." Goten yawned loudly and stretched his arms.

Bardock appeared to have those same exact thoughts. He never was bothered about when he should get up, unless he had orders to go clean up a planet. Even then, he took his sweet old time. Saiyans are never really in a hurry if you think about it. Bardock yawned and stared at his son, who seemed bright and perky in this early morning hour. He glanced at a small clock that glinted in the sunlight, revealing the time.

"Noon eh? Way too early" muttered Bardock.

"Today we're going to go train!" Goku's eyes sparkled with excitement. He was finally going to see how powerful his father was.

The three's ears perked at this. Training was usually pretty rough, but it was also exhilarating.

"Oh yea! Vegeta and Trunks are coming with us too!" Goku snatched a nearby donut and chewed on it happily. He peered out of the window over the sink and into the sunny countryside.

LATER THAT DAY

Bardock flew through the air, trying to dodge and swerve around Vegeta's Ki attacks. The earth shook beneath them as they trained diligently, waiting for Bulma and the others to finish the spaceship that supposedly would take them to the Saiyan world.

Goten, Gohan and Trunks all rush Goku who good heartedly lets some punches through, but blocks the rest. As the sun fell, darkening the sky, their practice eased up as the boys slowed and grew weary. So, when Goku's stomach began to rumble for some home made dinner, it was no surprise that they went separate ways. Bardock bowed before his prince, to the much embarrassment of Goku, and went home with his son and grandchildren.

However.. in the distance, the same shadowy figure whom had brought Bardock back watched as they flew away. He had been watching the entire day, studying the strengths and weaknesses of these Saiyans.
