Erasa looked around at the Capsule Corp. building. "You've actually met the Briefs?" She repeated for the third time. The blonde girl was in a stupor. Videl sweatdropped and nodded. Gohan rolled his eyes.
"Hey, Videl." Sharpener said in his lovesick voice. Gohan had to give a very fake cough in order not to growl. Sharpener pulled out a dozen roses for her. Videl raised an eyebrow and ignored them.
"Come on, spawn of Kakarotto!" Vegita yelled, impatient as usual. Bulma whacked him in the head and told him to shut up.
"Gohan, get in here!" Chichi screamed. All the Saiya-Jins winced.
"Coming mom!" He gestured for every one to follow him inside. Videl slipped her hand into his, a gesture the steaming Sharpener didn't miss, and all four walked towards the building.
"I must be mad." Bulma moaned. "Trying to explain Saiya-Jins to humans, of all people." Vegita snickered at his mate, but didn't say anything. He was too busy trying to pick a fight with Kakarotto. Chichi put a sympathetic hand on Bulma's shoulder.
Turlis, Nappa, and Radditz sweatdropped at the other two Saiya-jin, making no comment. Nappa was too stupid, and neither Turlis or Radditz wanted to listen to Vegita rave at them instead of Kakarotto.
Goku was ignoring Vegita and watching Chichi and Bulma intently. The two were discussing something and he wanted to know what. Chichi looked over at him and gave a tiny smile, then turned back to Bulma as Erasa, Sharpener, Videl, and Gohan walked through the door.
"Finally you guys!" Bulma squealed. "Why are you so late? Bad traffic?"
"No, we couldn't get them to believe me." Gohan laughed.
"Ah. Well, I'm being very rude!" She got even more cheerful, if that was possible. "I'm Bulma, the short troll-looking man over there is my husband, Vegita, and lilac top there is my son, Trunks."
"I'm Gohan's mother, Chichi." Chichi grinned. The two teens that didn't know her looked at Gohan skeptically. This was his worst nightmare? "The tall one with the spiky hair and no scars is my husband, Goku. His mini-me is Goten.
There was a crash as something broke. "Goku! Leave the furniture alone!" Chichi snapped without turning. Goku cringed.
"I'm 18." Erasa and Sharpener turned to see a blonde woman with pale blue eyes standing behind them. "The shorty next to me is my husband, Krillian." Krillian gave a small wave.
"The tall bald one is Nappa, Goku's twin, there, is Turlis, and the long haired one is Radditz." Bulma added.
"Now, I have little doubt you're wondering why your here, seeing as you didn't even know Gohan knew us. Me. Whatever." She had a sudden thought and nearly cringed. *Good Kami! I sound like my mother!* Bulma could have been sick.
"Well, it would be nice to know. He hasn't mentioned you before, though he has mentioned Vegita." Erasa agreed.
"Why did he mention Vegita?" Bulma asked with a frown.
"He looked like some one beat the tar out of him and said Vegita did it." Sharpener explained. "Though I don't see how." He added in a mumble. All the Saiya-Jins heard him and Goku had to grab Vegita before he pummeled Sharpener.
"Don't kill the ambassador." Bulma whispered to him softly. Vegita glared at her.
Twenty minuets and two near deaths for Sharpener, later, the group sat down to tell their story. It would be the first time Videl heard it, she only knew bits and pieces and had the memories Gohan gave her when they had bonded.
"It starts with me, I suppose." Goku admitted with a sheepish smile. "My surrogate grandfather, Gohan, found me in a round pod when I was only around two. He took me home with him and raised me. I was very mean until I fell down a ravine and landed on my head. Then I was really nice. When I was six or seven, a monster stepped on my grandpa and a bunch of other people, killing them all." He didn't mention that he was the monster, that would come later.
"I found him a few years later." Bulma added. "But right now, I'll back up, just a little. I went hunting for the Dragonballs when I was sixteen, to wish for the perfect boyfriend. Gohan-san."
"Wait! Gohan's not that old!" Erasa protested.
"No! Goku's grandfather!" Bulma grinned. "Anyway, Gohan-san had one and I ran into Goku looking for it. That was- erm- interesting, but I don't think I'm gonna go to in-depth on that." Goku had turned bright red at the mention of his naïveté. No one else knew about it, luckily. Vegita may have, but he was too busy ignoring the conversation to speak.
"Well, then Goku met Chichi and we got all the Dragonballs, but the wish was wasted. After the twenty-third World Martial arts tournament, Goku and Chichi ran off and got married. We didn't see each other for about five years after that." Bulma finished.
"My turn!" Goku grinned excitedly. "After that, Bulma got around to calling everyone and we had a get-together at Muten Roshi's house, the Kame house. During the party, a man showed up, claiming he was my brother. We didn't believe him, except he had a tail- like mine. He took Gohan."
"I am here, you know!" Radditz interrupted, scowling. "And you are my brother! My little brother."
"You took your own nephew?" Sharpener raised and eyebrow.
"Kakarotto just said that!" Radditz snapped, crossly.
"Anyway! He took Gohan and told me I couldn't have him back unless I killed a hundred people by the next day."
"What did you do? I don't remember any mass murders." Erasa asked.
"I did what anyone else would do. I teamed up with my arch enemy and died kicking his ass." Goku laughed.
"Not the way I remember it, Son." Piccolo appeared in the doorway.
"Piccolo!" Gohan grinned.
"Hey, kid."
"You're _green_!" Erasa fainted.
"I never would have noticed had you not told me." Piccolo replied, dryly.
"Your g-g-green!" Sharpener was in even more of a stupor. Every one sweatdropped.
"As I remember, Son, I ki blasted you and Radditz to HFIL, and they let you travel snake way."
"I know!" Goku sighed. *Sheesh! They need to lighten up!*
"After that begins my story." Vegita spoke harshly. "I didn't come here to save the planet, but look where I ended up." He gave a vicious smile. "Here, surrounded by baka humans."
"You are a human." Sharpener reminded him.
"I as much a human as you are a bird." He grated, slightly peeved. "I am Prince Vegita of Vegita-Sei. There is nothing human of that."
"Hump. Can you believe this, Videl. They think they're aliens! How stupid is that?" Sharpener laughed aloud.
Videl looked at him in surprise. "Sharpener, they're telling the truth."
"You actually believe this crap?" He asked, skeptically.
"Don't condemn what you do not know." Vegita snarled.
"Look," Gohan finally broke in. "This needs explained. Videl believes this because she knows it's true. I- told her, I suppose you could say."
"How did you get her to believe _that_?" Sharpener snorted.
"A Saiya-Jin bonds with their mates, it's kind of like marriage, except the couple share their memories. It is done when the male bites the female and the female bites back." Gohan gave a scientific explanation.
"." Sharpener gave him a blank look.
"Basically, it means that a couple can read each others mind and the mark is the bite given." Chichi ad-libbed.
"Ha!" Sharpener laughed.
"Wait a moment." Erasa cut in, able to read people better than anyone gives her credit for, "Videl and Gohan are _mates_?!"
"Yeah." Videl blushed.
"WHAT!?" Sharpener gasped. He glared at Gohan. "She was _mine_!"
"I wouldn't challenge it, Sharpener." Chichi told him. "It could have bad consequences."
"What, nerd-boy gonna beat me?" Sharpener laughed. "I'll have you know that _I'm_ almost as strong as the man who beat Cell."
Everyone growled. "That fool didn't beat Cell! That weakling hid behind a rock the whole time." Vegita grated out.
"Ha! And I bet one of you did?" He laughed even harder.
"I did. I defeated Cell. At a price." Gohan looked sad.
"Yeah, right. Now I've heard everything!" Sharpener choked out.
"He did." Goku broke in. "The price was my death. Luckily they wished me back and-"
"Wished you back? How?" Erasa cut in.
They continued on with the story, explaining the Dragonballs in their entirety. When they reached the Namek Saga, and Freezia, Erasa screamed aloud in fear. No one wanted to tell the whole story, but they did it anyway.
"So, let me get this straight." Sharpener said almost an hour later. "You saved the planet and the universe, at least once, and now a wish has been made to bring back the aliens planet. You want us to go to help form an alliance with them."
"Yeah, pretty much." Bulma agreed.
"So, when do we leave?" Erasa cheered. "I've always wanted to go abroad. Another planet wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but oh well!"
"How, exactly, do you plan to get there, then?" Sharpener snorted again. "We don't have a ship."
"I do, moron." Bulma snapped. "Doesn't it stand to reason that if we got to Namek, we have a ship? Duh."
Bulma sighed. It was obvious that Sharpener didn't believe them, but Erasa did. The assembled Z-Sensi sighed. The new Saiya-Jins looked on in confusion.
"I have to know what's going on!" King Vegita mumbled, pacing back and forth on the dais in the throne room. "Why were we dead and are now alive? I don't understand it."
"Vegita-Sama, Sire, we are receiving a transmission from a planet called Earth." A Saiya-Jin mumbled to the king. He was quaking in fear.
King Vegita growled. He would have blasted the messenger if he wasn't so damn curious! "Well, don't just stand there, you fool! Bring it unto the screen!"
"Of course, Sire." He stuttered. The image appeared.
"Greetings, Father." Prince Vegita briefly touched his fist to his heart. "We, meaning myself and several others, will be arriving on planet in a matter of days. We shall be able to sort this out then, I think." The king nodded and the connection was cut.
"Will we be able to land now, Veggie-kun?" Bulma asked. Vegita nodded.
"Gather around." Bulma yelled when Vegita told her he had to speak to the group.
"Alright, there are rules you _will_ follow while we are on the planet!" Vegita snarled. "First, you will _not_ show your true power! Right now, I don't want them to know what we are. You will only show your true power if I say you may! Is that understood?"
"Don't worry, Vegita. We won't power up unless we have to. And us having to is only in a life and death situation." Goku held up his hand to calm Vegita down. The prince nodded.
"Second, you Kakarotto, _must_ go by your Saiya-Jin name. And while I'm on the subject of names." He considered it a moment, then only slightly more calm, stated, "On Vegita-Sei, you are introduced by your father's name."
"Radditz, what's our father's name?" Goku Whispered frantically.
"Bardock." Was the whispered reply.
"Thanks."
"Kakarotto, pay attention!" Vegita snapped. "You introduce yourself by your name, then J'Hir, then your father's name."
"So I am Kakarotto J'Hir Bardock?" Goku asked. Vegita slapped his head.
"YES!" He yelled.
"Geez, Vegita, I was just checking! Calm down!"
"You Trunks, on this planet, are to go by the name Vegita. You introduce yourself as Vegita J'Seirre. Bulma, you are to introduce yourself as Bulma J'Seirre. Does everyone understand?"
"What about me, Vegita?" Chichi finally asked.
"You are Chichi J'Tir Kakarotto." Vegeta grated. He was quickly losing his patience. "I'm assuming none of you speak Saiya-Go." Vegita continued.
"That's the native language of this planet, right, father?" Trunks asked.
"Yes." He nodded curtly. "And, I doubt any of you speak it or read it. Do any of you understand this? (Kakarotto is a total baka.)"
"I am not a baka!" Goku yelled. "That wasn't nice!"
Just as he said that, Gohan and Goten yelled, "Hey! Don't call tousan a baka!"
"Why did you call Goku-san a baka, father?" Trunks asked.
Vegita sighed. *Well, at least they know it.* He was beginning to get a huge headache.
"Do you speak it then?" He finally grated.
A chorus of yes's reached his ears.
"Good." He snarled. "Teach it to the humans." And then left.
It didn't take long to find out that Chichi, Bulma, and Videl already knew Saiya-Go from their bonds. Unfortunately, however, neither Sharpener of Erasa had any knack for languages.
(A/N) Okay, so, another chapter is up! Yay! Anyhoo, I wasn't gonna put World Martial Arts Tournament as the thins name, but I can't spell the other one. Go Figure! If you don't like the name I used, send me the other one and I'll change it. Review Plaese!!!! Especially if you want this continued!
Thanks!
BTW, Thanks for Kintoun's name, Destini!
