Previously: Future Trunks asked our heroes if they could go back in time to warn another time about Cell. Goten and Trunks decided to go to the past instead of outer space.
Goten, Gohan and Goku walked through the door of their house where Chi Chi stood ready to greet them. "Goku!" she said. "What was all the fuss about?"
"Chi Chi, come into the kitchen and I'll explain everything." He said leading his wife into the kitchen. Goten walked towards the lounge room and Gohan made his way towards his room. Bardock noticed Gohan walking towards his room; he arose from his seat and went to talk to his long lost grandson. Bardock knocked on the door.
"Gohan?" He asked. Gohan opened the door.
"Oh, hi Bardock." He said. "What's up?"
"Can I talk to you for a while?" Bardock asked nervously. Gohan nodded.
"Sure, come on in."
"Really, future Trunks, no kidding?" Chi Chi said as she listened to the events that happened throughout the course of the day. Goku nodded.
"So after Vegeta leaves Gohan and I will go back to the past to warn them." Goku said.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Chi Chi asked angrily. Goku shook his head. "Gohan has school, he can't go with you." Goku sweat dropped,
"Well then, how about next weekend we go, or tomorrow? Tomorrow is Sunday." Goku suggested.
"Fine, go tomorrow; the saiyans will be leaving in the morning so that gives you all afternoon to do it and then some study time for Gohan when you get back." Chi Chi said.
"Great, tomorrow it is then!" Goku smiled. "I'll go tell him now." Goku said as he walked out the door. He raced into the lounge room looking for Gohan, but only seeing the group of saiyans. "Where's Gohan?" he asked.
"In his room." Goten said, "I think he is studying." Goku nodded and walked towards Gohan's room.
Gohan and Bardock were sitting down talking when Gohan heard a knock on the door. "Who is it?" Gohan yelled to the door.
"It's your Dad." Goku said from the other side, Bardock froze, Gohan sat silently for a minute.
"Hang on a second Dad, don't come in yet." Gohan yelled back. Bardock went to get up. Gohan sat him back down. "Wait, stay, I'm sure Dad will accept you, don't trust those stupid visions." Gohan reassured his grandfather. "Come on in Dad!" He yelled again, Goku opened the door; Bardock sat there nervously, awaiting his long lost son's entrance.
"Hi Gohan!" Goku said as he entered the room, he noticed Bardock sitting next to his son. He smiled and waved. "Oh hi there, I don't believe we've been introduced yet." Bardock just looked at his son and then looked at the floor.
"I know you." He said staring at a line the ground.
"Well I think everyone in this house does, can I ask what your name is?" Goku asked. "By the way, I like your haircut." Goku laughed. Bardock just looked at the ground, fearfully. Gohan looked at the two and decided to speak.
"Umm Dad, this here is, umm, well his name is uh…"
"My name is Bardock." Bardock interrupted. He stood up and looked face to face with his son. Goku just looked at him blankly.
"That name sounds familiar." Goku said. "But where have I heard it before?" Goku asked himself. Bardock stood there, his mind saying the words 'I am your father' over and over, but his mouth stayed immobile and the words could not come out. Goku then turned to Gohan. "Gohan I almost forgot." He said.
"Yeah?" He asked. Bardock just looked at the two, his heart pounding with anxiety.
"Tomorrow after all these saiyans leave, we're gonna go do that deed for Trunks, What do you say?" Gohan smiled.
"Yeah sounds great. Let's bring Goten and Trunks along as well." Gohan suggested. "The machine should be able to hold us all." Goku nodded.
"Good idea, I'll go suggest it to Goten." He said turning around to exit. He then flipped back around. "Oh and it was nice meeting you Bardock." He said taking hold of Bardock's hand and shaking it. "That name still sounds familiar, oh well I'll think of it." He said as he let go, turned around and walked out. Bardock looked down at his hand.
"That's the first time I have ever touched my son." He admitted.
"What? Not even when he was a baby?" Gohan asked. Tears swelled in Bardock's eyes.
"I was afraid, afraid to get close to him, I knew he would just be sent away." A tear dropped from Bardock's eye onto his hand. Gohan walked over and padded him on the shoulder.
"I know it would have been scary, but you could make up for all that lost time, but only when you feel you are ready." Bardock looked at his grandson and smiled.
"Thanks Gohan, but my visions tell me that this won't all work out the way we would want it to." Bardock said.
"Well, trust me, your visions are gonna be proven wrong." Gohan reassured him. Bardock looked up to the ceiling.
"I hope so." He said.
