Authors note: It's been so long since I wrote anything, you've probably all thought I've abandoned this story by now, well I haven't, I've just been really busy with assignment after assignment after assignment, I'll try and give you a few more chapters before I get another one I promise!
Previously: Chi chi read Gohan's text messages, Vegeta showed up at Gohan's place and Goku and Chi chi were on their way home from shopping.
Goten ran outside to see his parent's car pull up, Chi chi stepped out of the car and opened the boot, she took out one bag of groceries out of about ten. "Goku could you please get the rest?" She said as she walked towards her son. Goku jumped out of the car and bent over the back of the car to pick up the remaining nine bags of groceries.
The other saiyans then walked out of the house. "It's about time you got here Kakarot!" Vegeta said at the front of the others. Goku was still fishing for bags out of the boot. Chi chi noticed Bardock at the very back of the crew, she realised that that this saiyan had to be related to Goku, he looked exactly like him.
Celipa approached Bardock, "Wow, Kakarot sure has grown, aren't you gonna go say hi?" She asked the nervous saiyan.
"I have a bad feeling that he won't accept me." Bardock replied.
"What gives you that idea?" Celipa then looked at Goku. "Well then if you won't go say hi, then I will." She said storming off towards Goku. Bardock wanted to stop her, but didn't.
Goku stood up, his arms full of bags and one in his mouth. He turned around to see Celipa standing right in front of him, Goku jumped back. "Hi Kakarot, I'm Celipa, I'd shake your hand, but I see they're full of bags, let me help you with them." She said taking four of the bags Goku held.
"Thanks a lot." Goku said, his mouth now free. Chi chi walked over in between the two saiyans.
"When did my house become a resort for saiyans?" She said.
"We won't stay long." Celipa said.
"Good!" Vegeta yelled. "I'm all ready to go, so why don't we?" The other saiyans looked at him, then Raditz spoke.
"I still would like to watch some more soap operas, they are so funny." He laughed.
"So I take it it'll be postponed for another day?" Vegeta said. Everyone nodded. Vegeta sighed. "Fine I'm going home then, but we better leave tomorrow or else I'll kill something." Vegeta yelled flying off. Goku laughed and faced all the saiyans.
"So who are all you guys anyway?" He asked curiously. Raditz and Turles stepped forward.
"Well I'm Raditz!" The saiyan joked. Chi chi rolled her eyes.
"I know who you two are, what about the rest of these guys." Goku asked looking around. Bardock slowly backed into the house trying not to be seen by Goku. Celipa handed the bags in her hands to Chi chi and walked over to introduce her comrades.
"Well, I'll introduce you, here we have Panboukin, Totepo, Toma and…" Celipa went to introduce the final saiyan, but he was nowhere to be found. "Where did that dead beat saiyan go?" She said looking around.
"I think he ran off inside when you said, let me introduce you…" Toma said. Celipa sweatdropped,
"What am I gonna do with that saiyan?" Celipa said walking inside. She then turned around. "Oh well, he'll show up eventually." She said. It only took Goku two seconds to forget about the last saiyan.
"Hey Chi chi, can we eat yet? I'm starving." Goku said, the bags still in his hands. Chi chi rolled her eyes as the saiyans entered the house. Bardock had escaped through the back door and mad his way to Gohan's bedroom window, where Gohan was sitting at his desk doing an assignment, Bardock tapped on the window, Gohan turned around to see his long lost grandfather standing there. Gohan went over and opened the window.
"What's up Bardock?" Gohan asked. "Where is everyone else?" Bardock climbed through the window.
"They're here, I just wanted to come talk to you." Bardock said sitting on Gohan's bed, Gohan sat down next to him.
"Well there is another way into my room besides the window," Gohan laughed.
"Yeah, but I haven't had the full tour of your house yet, so I had no idea where your room was." Bardock smiled at his excuse for using the window.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Gohan asked curiously. Bardock leaned back.
"Kakarot, he was standing right there and I didn't do or say anything." Bardock explained, seriousness filling his eyes.
"Why not?" Gohan asked, Bardock leaned forward.
"I had a vision, a vision that Kakarot would hate me as soon as I made contact with him."
"No way my Dad doesn't hate anyone, he even had sympathy for Frieza, I wouldn't trust a little vision." Bardock looked at his newfound grandson, still neutral in his expression.
"But my visions always become reality." Bardock said. Gohan became confused. Bardock started to tell the story.
Meanwhile Vegeta just arrived back at Capsule Corp. Bulma sitting in the lounge room when Vegeta entered. She stood up and walked over to him. "I knew you would be back." Bulma smiled. Vegeta stormed upstairs to his room, Bulma stood there watching him. She frowned as soon as she heard the bedroom door slam. "He's going to go soon and there will be no way for me to stop him." Bulma said almost crying. She then straightened up again. "Oh well, at least this time Trunks won't get out of my sight." She then entered the kitchen and Trunks popped out with a bag full of things.
"Yeah right mum, this'll be the last place I'll be when that ship takes off." Trunks laughed as he ran out the front door.
Gohan had just heard the end of Bardock's story. "I can't believe it," He said still in shock. He then smiled, "Well, this time your vision will be totally wrong, I know my Dad, he doesn't hate anyone." There was then a knock on the door. "Who is it?" Gohan asked.
"It's your mother." Chi chi yelled from outside. A drop of sweat streamed down Gohan's neck knowing that his mother was outside with the tone she had in her voice, he was in trouble and he knew it.
"Come in." He whispered scared, Chi chi opened the door slowly and started to yell.
"GOHAN YOU IRRISPONSIBLE…" Chi chi's shrieking stopped when she saw Bardock sitting there with a blank face. "Hey your that other saiyan I saw earlier that disappeared." Chi chi said pointing at the still startled saiyan. Silence filled the room until Gohan butted in.
"Umm Mum, this is Bardock he's umm…" Gohan said scratching the back of his neck, "He's umm, Dad's dad." Gohan said just softly enough for Chi chi to here.
Chi chi stared at the saiyan for a few seconds, then fainted. "Mum!" Gohan yelled rushing to her aid. Bardock stood up as Gohan caught his mother.
"Is she alright?" Bardock asked walking over.
"She's fine, just a bit too much excitement." Gohan said, Chi chi woke up suddenly and stood up admiring her new father-in-law.
"Oh my god, I can't believe this, this is almost as weird as that episode of the Simpsons when Homer's mother showed up"(hey I love The Simpsons, best Western Cartoon I've ever seen, and they probably do get it in Japan) Gohan laughed, Bardock blushed. Chi chi faced Gohan. "Does Goku know about this?" Gohan shook his head. "He should have been the first one to know." Chi chi was just about to call out to her husband when Gohan went to cover her mouth.
"Mum, don't call him, not yet." Gohan said.
"Why not?"
"Bardock isn't ready to meet Dad yet." Gohan whispered in his mother's ear.
"I can't see why, Goku is the nicest person ever, he's so sweet and kind." Chi chi bragged, her eyes sparkling. Bardock tapped Gohan on the shoulder, he then whispered in his ear.
"Who's Goku?" He asked. Chi chi heard this.
"You're kidding right, he's your son and you don't know his name?" Chi chi said shocked.
"Hang on there Mum." Gohan said. "Bardock just doesn't know Dad's Earth name."
"Oh, ok" Chi chi said, "Well Goku is Kakarot, but here on Earth we call him Goku because he had that name for like 24 years until he found out his real name." Chi chi explained.
"Did it really take 24 years for someone to find him out here?" Chi chi and Gohan both nodded.
"And I didn't find out until a day after it all happened." Chi chi said still angry at the memory. Gohan then looked towards the door.
"Speaking of Dad I think he is coming this way." He said.
"What how do you know?" Bardock said frantically.
"Never mind just hide." Gohan said, Bardock leapt behind Gohan's desk, out of sight. Goku swung around the door seconds after Bardock was safe.
"Hey Chi chi do you know where the remote is, I've looked everywhere?" Goku asked.
"Goku, how come you can search the entire house for the T.V remote, but can't go up to the T.V and change it manually?" Chi chi asked in her usual frustrated tone.
"Good point." Goku said scratching the back of his neck. "Well, you can't put the T.V on AV manually and that's the only way we can plug the Nintendo in to play Mario Kart."(I'm very evil) Goku said using his hands to symbolise playing a game. Chi chi smiled. Goku sighed, "Never mind I'll try somewhere else." Goku turned around and started to exit the room, Chi chi then sprung up in front of him.
"Wait a second Goku, I have a question." She said in a more pleasing tone.
"What is it?" Goku asked.
"Well you know how all the saiyans are alive now?"
"Yeah!"
"Well that would mean every single saiyan, so you've already met your brother, but what about your father?" Chi chi said trying not to sound too suspicious. Silence filled the room for a minute, Gohan was standing there shaking his head and Bardock was sitting behind the desk quivering with fear. The Goku spoke.
"Well, I doubt I'd meet my biological father because he would be on planet Vegeta and I'm not gonna go there with the others so I don't think I'd meet him… now let me through." Chi chi blocked him from leaving again.
"Wait a second Goku," She said. "But what if you did meet him, how would you feel?"
"Are you kidding?" Goku said, Chi chi said nothing. "The guy sent me away when I was barely even a week old to kill innocent people just so they could take it over, how do you think I would feel if a guy I had never known showed up one day and said 'I'm your father'?" Silence filled the room once more. Gohan then butted in.
"Umm Dad, what about Goten?" Gohan pointed out.
"Well that was different that was only seven years." Goku said trying to make an excuse.
"Well what about Luke Skywalker?" Gohan asked smartly. Silence again. Then Goku spoke.
"Well I never saw Star Wars so I have no idea what happened with Luke and Darth Vadar." Goku then turned around and stormed out the door, leaving Gohan, Chi chi and the still hidden Bardock left.
"Oh my god!" Chi chi said shivering, "Goku has never acted like this before, ever."
"I know, I've never seen him like that, not even when he was up against his most hated opponents." Gohan said, Bardock stood up, back in site of the two, his body turned away.
"I knew it, he hates me and that's all there is to it." He said softly, a great sadness dwelling in his body.
