A/N: The first chapter I'll write this year (probably the only as well, but oh well) I hardly update these days, just can never get the time, so here it is, chapter 24!!!!
Disclaimer: DBZ does not belong to me, (hey that rhymes)
Previously: Goku admitted that if he ever met his father, he would be angry with him, the ship will take off in one day.
Bardock sat on the bed, a great sadness filling him, "It wasn't my fault, they send all low level saiyan babies to far away planets, besides, if he would not have went, he would have died, it was the best thing for him and I'm glad he did go." Chi chi looked at her father-in-law, attitude filled her eyes, she turned around and stormed out the door, Gohan looked at her mother leaving, wondering what she was going to do, he then turned around to see Bardock's face buried in his hands, he wasn't crying, though close to it.
Chi chi entered a room where Goku was still searching for the remote, his expression tense and angry, "Goku," Chi chi said softly, Goku arose from his search and spun around, anger clear on his face.
"What?" He asked loudly. Chi chi quivered a bit by the tone of his voice. She soon straightened up, trying not to show fear.
"Goku, you are not acting like yourself today, all I did was ask you a simple question and you're making this big deal out of something so small." She said in her usual tone. The anger in Goku's eyes weakened and he looked down.
"I'm sorry Chi chi, it's just a sensitive topic, I mean, you ask me how I would feel if this guy who abandoned me showed up wanting to be my father, the thought just sickens me that someone would abandon their child." Chi chi walked over to Goku and hugged him.
"He didn't abandon you Goku." She said into his ear, Goku stepped back.
"What do you mean, of course he did." Chi chi shook her head.
"If anything he was protecting you, don't you remember Frieza said that he destroyed the Saiyan planet? If you were on that planet you would have died as well." Chi chi explained, Goku twiddled his thumbs.
"I guess so…" He said, being interrupted again.
"And another thing, it wasn't his choice to make, every low level Saiyan was sent away as a baby, it wasn't his fault."
"Wait…" Goku butted in, "How do you know all this?" He asked suspiciously. Chi chi sweatdropped trying to think of a believable story.
"Well I was uh… talking to umm… one of the other Saiyans and uh… they told me stuff urgh… about being low levels and um… how the planet was destroyed and um… other stuff." Silence filled the room, Goku looked at Chi chi for a couple of seconds then turned around.
"Alright then, maybe there is some evidence, FROM OTHER PEOPLE, but the guy still sent me here alone, you can't just forgive a person for something like that." Chi chi looked at her husband worried, then she turned around and exited the room.
Meanwhile at Capsule Corp. Trunks had just finished loading the spaceship with all his stuff, "Excellent" he said pressing his fingers together, he then sneaked back into the house and up to his room, where he turned the Gamecube on and started to play 'Animal Crossing' (has anyone played that, it is THE BEST) his mum knocked on the door.
"Trunks?" Bulma said from outside Trunks' door.
"Yes mum?" Trunks yelled back. Bulma entered the room.
"Dinner is ready." She said, Trunks saved the game, turned it off then raced down to get his food.
Vegeta had already finished his plate, he was still hungry so he went to grab Trunks' plate, just then, Trunks stormed down and grabbed it, growled, then sat down and ate it. Vegeta looked at the little Demi-Saiyan. 'Can't wait until I get out of here.' He thought. He arose from his seat and went outside. "Earth cities, bah! I have a chance to go home and the only thing standing in my way is a few low level Saiyans, I could just destroy them all right now, but if I kill Kakarot's dear father, Kakarot will do something bad to me, just then Vegeta sensed something coming towards Earth at a fast pace, this energy was a familiar ki, but Vegeta did not remember where he had felt this presence before, he decided to go check it out.
Elsewhere at Goku's house, Goku and Gohan had sensed the presence as well, they went in a flash, Goten followed behind them, wanting adventure, leaving Chi chi alone with all the Saiyans.
Goku, Gohan and Goten arrived at the site where the Ki was signaling from, Vegeta arrived moments after, "Kakarot, what are you doing here?" he asked. Goku turned around.
"Hi Vegeta, we just came to check out this weird presence we could sense," Vegeta rolled his eyes.
"Makes sense, wherever there's bound to be trouble, Kakarot always shows up." Vegeta muttered to himself. Gohan looked up.
"Here it comes Dad." He said, the four Saiyans looked up to the sky to see a familiar ship land safely on the ground. "That ship looks familiar." Gohan said.
"I know son." Goku said, "But where have I seen it before?" Vegeta quickly realized what the ship was and went up and whispered it in Goku's ear hoping Goten wouldn't hear, Goku jumped back, "What?" he yelled, Gohan realized what it was as well.
"Dad, I think I should take Goten home." He said rapidly, Goku nodded.
"I agree." Gohan took Goten's arm and leaded him into the air.
"Hey wait Gohan, I want to see what's happening, let me stay, let me stay." Goten said struggling to get free.
"No, Goten, it's umm… too dangerous." Gohan said trying to make a believable lie.
"Everything is always too dangerous for me, just because I'm the youngest, well I should be able to see all the action as well." Goten said turning super Saiyan and getting free.
"Wait Goten come back!" Gohan yelled, "Great, just my luck," he said following the Demi-Super Saiyan.
The ships top opened up, a tall figure emerged from inside, Goten arrived back at the scene as the figure stepped out of the craft, Goku and Vegeta did not notice Goten was there. Gohan arrived seconds after Goten. The figure stood before them, Goku and Vegeta were both happy, Goten was shocked, Gohan was too busy worrying.
"Hi guys." The person said.
"Trunks." Vegeta said smiling. "What are you doing back here?" He asked.
"I'll explain everything later." Trunks said, he then spotted Goku, "Goku? I thought you were dead." He said.
"I was, but now I am alive again, it's a long story." Goku explained.
"I bet." Trunks said.
"Hold on just a minute!" Goten said, grabbing the Saiyans' attention.
"Gohan, I thought you took Goten home?" Goku yelled.
"I did, but he got away." Gohan explained, scratching the back of his head.
"Wow Gohan, you sure look different." Trunks said, Gohan smiled. Goten walked up to the future version of his best friend and examined him.
"Alright Mr. Why are you going around impersonating an older version of Trunks?" Goten yelled. Trunks looked blankly at the young Demi-Saiyan. A smirk appeared on his face.
"Alright Mr. Why are you going around impersonating a younger version of Goku?" Everyone sweat dropped. "Nah I'm just kidding," Trunks said, "I'm Trunks from the future, who might you be." Goten's mouth opened in disbelief.
"You can't be Trunks from the future, Trunks would always be able to tell who I am whether his from a different time or not." Goten yelled, Goku walked over and calmed the little Saiyan down.
"Goten, you didn't exist in this Trunks' world, that's why he doesn't know who you are." Goku whispered in his ear.
"What, you mean to say that I don't exist in the future." Goten said, tears swelling in his eyes. Goku shook his head.
"No I didn't mean like that," Gohan stepped forward.
"Dad, let me talk to Goten, you stay here and talk to Trunks." Goku nodded and Gohan led Goten away from the rest.
Time past, Goku told Trunks how he came back and who Goten was, Gohan explained to Goten why he didn't exist in the future and a lot of questions arose on why Trunks was there, but no answers were put forward. "I need to tell my mother why I'm here as well, so can we go to Capsule Corp. soon?" He asked. Vegeta nodded and they all made their way back to Capsule Corp.
When the five Saiyans arrived at CC, the first thing Goten did was run ahead towards Trunks' room. "Hold on there Goten." Goku yelled from behind, Goten spun around. "Don't tell Trunks that his futuristic self is down here, ok?" Goku asked, the little Demi-Saiyan smiled and nodded, then continued to run towards his best friends room.
The four remaining Saiyans entered the lounge room where Bulma was sitting drinking coffee, she put her coffee down and stood up as she heard them come in. "And where have you been Vegeta? You leave without telling me, then you don't come back for a good hour, it's just enough to make me want to…" Bulma spun around to see Vegeta standing there next to Goku, Gohan and the future version of her son. "Trunks…" She said, Trunks looked at the floor, his face turning red.
"Hello mother." He whispered. Bulma screamed and raced up to her son, embracing him in her arms.
"Oh Trunks, it's so good to see you, I can't believe you came back, after all this time." She said, tears swelling in her eyes.
"It's good to see you too mum." He said, trying to breath. Bulma then realized that the present Trunks was upstairs. She let go of her son and faced Vegeta.
"Vegeta, you are aware that our son is upstairs in his room?" She asked.
"Yes I did know that, but Goten went up there to keep him distracted, don't worry, hopefully Goten won't tell him." Vegeta guaranteed her.
"You better be sure about that." She said.
