Meet the gang!

Disclaimer: Me no own. Aren't we impressed. Move along, now. The fic's better than the disclaimer…I think… ^_^

Bulma jumped towards the king yelling obscenities Vegita didn't know she even knew. Trunks watched his mother, shock written on every feature, and his mouth open in shock. "Since when does mom know language that bad?" He whispered to his father.

An equally shocked Vegita could only shrug. "I haven't the slightest."

Bulma, meanwhile, was throttling the king and, true to threat, forcing him to eat his tail. Trunks frowned. Vegita turned to his son. "Do you still have that pink hair dye with you?" The little boy nodded. "Well, here's your chance to use it and not get in trouble by your parents."

A wicked smirk appeared on the boy's face. "Really? Oh, I promised Goten he could help…"

"So? You can dye it a different color later." The prince snorted. He had a feeling the king would be a laughing stock before he died.

"AND YOU WANT TO PURGE MY PLANET? I DON'T THINK SO!" Bulma screeched. The Saiya-Jins in the room winced. Trunks calmly covered his ears and waited for the storm to pass. Vegita groaned. ~ Does she EVER shut up? ~ He wondered with a slight frown.

"Hey, kid, what planet did you say you were from again?" Bardock finally asked as the group made their was through the Tavern by his house.

"Earth, why?" Goku replied.

"Because it's on the to-be-purged list."

"What?!?" Gohan half-yelled. "It's where?!?"

"Shut up!" Bardock elbowed him in the side. Pain shot through his arm and he wished he hadn't. "What are you made of? That hurt!"

"Eh, oops. Sorry…" Gohan blushed.

"So, now what do we do? They're trying to kill off my planet!" Chichi raged.

"We could seek an audience with the king." Bardock thought. The other members of the group exchanged looks.

"Chichi, you are going to leave your frying pan at home." Goku said softly.

"I will do nothing of the sort." She snapped. "I'm gonna behead him with it."

Back at the palace, Vegita had pried his mate off his father with a bit of difficulty and Trunks had procured the pink hair dye from where ever he kept the stuff. Somehow it was always in easy reach. Vegita rolled his eyes as Bulma gave a delighted grin. "Trunks, is THAT the hot pink hair dye you dyed daddy's hair with?"

Nervously the lilac haired boy nodded. Bulma's smile turned slightly maniacal. "Be a good boy and give it to mommy." She wheedled. Trunks violently shook his head and backed away from his mother.

"Shut up, Bulma." Vegita winced at her name, almost regretting using it.

"Veggie-kun, you used my name!" She kissed him delightedly. Vegita raised an eyebrow but gave no reply.

"Are you PMSing, woman?" The king finally asked, sitting back in his throne. Before anyone could even twitch, Trunks had tied him to the chair. Triumphantly he held the hair-dye in front of the king's eyes with a smirk; the boy then set to work attacking the king's hair and making it the ugliest he could. When he pulled out the mirror he kept hidden away in the same place as the hair dye and showed the king his handy work, the only thing that was heard throughout the palace was Bulma's insane laughter, Trunks' evil giggle and the king's horrified scream.

"We are not going tonight! I have little doubt that Earth will be there in the morning!" Bardock yelled at a raging Chichi.

KA-BONG! Every other Son clan member in attendance, and even the close family friends, winced at the resounding sound of Chichi's frying pan clocking Bardock straight in the head. "ITIA!" Bardock howled, dancing around in pain. Chichi glared at the hapless Saiya-Jin and frowned.

"I want to go TONIGHT!" She snarled.

"Chichi, I'm sure we won't be able to get in tonight." Goku winced as she raised the frying pan in his direction. Bravely he continued. "They probably don't let anyone in at this time of night. Tousan's right. It'll be there in the morning."

"You better be right Goku." She snapped. The group gave a sigh of relief as she lowered The Frying Pan of Doom. "Or ELSE." Goku's eyes grew really wide and he gulped visibly.

"What on earth is Bardock DOING?" A short female Saiya-Jin frowned, hearing his cry of pain. "Should we go over there?"

"I don't know Celipia. Do you think he's in trouble?" Another burly Saiya- Jin, Toma, Asked warily.

"I hope not. We better find out…" The two walked slowly to the door of their friend's home and knocked.

"Hello?" Bardock opened the door. At least, it LOOK like Bardock.

"Bardock? What happened to your scars?" Celipia blinked. "And since when do you look like that?"

"I'm not Bardock!" The man gave a goofy grin. "I'm his son, Go-er- Kakarotto."

"Huh?" The other Saiya-Jins looked at the man and back to each other.

"No, you're Bardock." Celipia said slowly, as though he wouldn't understand otherwise. A voice called from inside the house right at that moment.

"Kakarotto? Who's at the door?"

"I dunno, but they're convinced I'm you." The man called back.

"Are they called Toma and Celipia, by chance?"

"Are you?" Bardock/Kakarotto turned to look at them.

"Yeah…"

"Yup!" He shouted inside.

"Let them in, then!" The other voice yelled. Obediently the man stepped back and gestured for them to enter. When they steeped inside they looked about in shock. The REAL Bardock was sitting on the couch holding an ice pack to an extremely large lump on his head while a tall black haired teen male was telling him that it usually didn't take long for the swelling to go down but the lump would hurt like hell for days. An angry looking black haired and eyed woman stood nearby, a frying pan dangling from one slim hand. Two blonde teens were huddled in a corner out of fear while a short monk-looking fellow sat on the lap of a blonde woman, they were assuming to be his mate. A little Bardock look-alike was seated on the shoulders of Radditz and Turlis was leaning against the wall farthest from the woman with a frying pan. A black haired blue eyed teen female stood by the other teen trying hard not to laugh. A large grin was hidden by one hand and she was twitching ever so slightly.

"Should we ask?" Toma asked a bit hesitantly.

Bardock shrugged. "My grown-up look alike is Kakarotto, his mini-me is Goten, his other son is Gohan, the two blondes in the corner are Sharpener and Erasa, the blonde woman is 18 and the short guy is her mate Krillian. The other teen is Gohan's mate, Videl. And the one with the frying pan is Kakarotto's son, Chichi."

"I'm guessing she got you with it?" Celipia asked grinning.

"Don't you have wonderful perception of the obvious." The Saiya-Jin grumbled. Celipia shrugged cheerfully.

"I think, I'm not gonna ask and I don't wanna know." Toma stated, turning for the door.

"Why not? I've just found my long-lost son and you don't even want to meet the guy? Oh well. Your loss!" Bardock grinned. The man's teammates exchanged looks then turned slowly away. "AND he's one of the legendary!" Bardock gave a proud smile and the other's in the room sighed.

The new Saiya-Jins merely burst out laughing. "Yeah, right!" Toma howled.

"I am." Kakarotto smiled happily. "But so are my sons, so it doesn't matter much."

"What?" The two warriors almost keeled over in shock.

"Yeah, but I'm SSJ 3 and Vegita and Gohan can hit SSJ 2. The boys can hit SSJ 3 too, but only when they're fused." Goku sighed. Celipia gave one shocked croak before both she and Toma keeled over and passed out.

"What'd I say?" Goku asked, looking at the unconscience Saiya-Jins. No one said a word.

~*~ ~*~ ~*~

"Hey, they're waking up!" A little voice cried as Toma's eyes fluttered open. Celipia moaned but left her eyes shut.

"Bardock?" She called.

"Yeah?" He walked into the room.

"I had the weirdest dream. I dreamt your long lost son had returned and had kids of his own and that he could go past the Legendary and his kids were Super Saiya-Jins and…"

"Um, Celiplia? That wasn't a dream…" He gave a tiny little laugh. "They can." She cracked her eye opened and promptly pinched herself.

"Nope, I'm awake. What are you talking about?"

"Hi! Sorry about the scare! I didn't mean to do that!" Goku poked his head in the room and the two Saiya-Jins jumped in fright.

"How is the Legendary so…so… naive?"

"I dunno, but he's a sight when he's transformed, I tell you!" Bardock grinned. "And he says that Vegita and his kid are Super Saiya-Jins too. He's friends with the prince and his second kid and the prince's brat are practically brothers. It's weird, I'm telling ya." Bardock settled back and smiled. "But I can't say I'm not happy!"
