A/N: This is a DBZ fic that will span from the end of the Cells Games until at least the Budokai Tournament that Goku comes back for. Most likely after wards as well. It is a sort of AU because parts of it follow the DBZ storyline.

Disclaimer: Do I look like I own DBZ? No, I don't. So please, don't sue me. I write this only for my own pleasure and if others like it, than that's good, I'm glad that they do.

The meaning of father.

Bulma knew better than to start a conversation with either one of the two Saiya-jins. She knew she'd be the only one talking, and so, the table was quiet, well as quiet as two saiya-jins eating faster than Goku when he used Instant Transmission. Needless to say, not much happened. Thankfully, the meal was over quickly and she turned to Gohan, getting ready to tell him about a new project she wanted him to work on with her.

"Gohan, there's a new project we're working on, and I want you to help," she began, pausing, waiting for him say something.

Gohan was in a dilemma. He could no longer speak, yet, Bulma expected him to answer her.

"Gohan, are you feeling okay?" Asked Bulma after he didn't answer. Vegeta snorted, he found the idea that a saiya-jin getting sick was impossible. Suddenly, Gohan got a bright idea and ran to grab some paper and a pen. Bulma looked at her husband and the two babies, hoping one of them could give her an answer.

"Don't look at me woman, I have no idea what goes in that head of his," Vegeta replied, feigning interest. Gohan came back and sat down next to Bulma, writing something down on the paper.

:I lost my voice Bulma.: The paper said.

"Huh? Like your sick and you lost it," Bulma suggested.

"Woman, how many times do I have to tell you, saiya-jins don't get sick," Vegeta said crossly, annoyed that she had forgotten that fact.

:No, I gave it up. I can no longer talk.: Gohan quickly wrote down. He then proceeded to explain the morning's events.

"Wow, it's been years since something weird has happened," Bulma said to herself. Vegeta looked at her and the look on his face clearly said, What are you talking about woman?

Gohan, feeling the same way, wrote down basically the same thing as Vegeta thought, though much kinder.

"Oh, well, the last really weird thing that happened was Mirai Trunks coming to warn us about the androids. But, back when I first met Goku and, well actually, until Raditz came, really weird things were normal. I mean, something like this happened every day, although, I do have to say, all of us were a bit more bloodthirsty than we are now," she explained.

Both saiya-jins looked at her, both thinking, 'What do you mean, more bloodthirsty?'

She looked at her faces and laughed. "Your father never told you Gohan?"

He shook his head, glad that he wasn't nodding it for once.

"Well, when I first met him, I tried to kill him. In fact, if he hadn't been saiya-jin, I'm sure that he would have died and I would have taken his Dragonball, never to see him again, leaving him dead in the woods," she started out. Both saiya-jins looked at her in shock. Neither could believe that Bulma, who was generally a very nice person had tried to kill Goku.

"Oh, and when Yamcha came along as Goku and I traveled together through the Diablo Desert, he tried to kill Goku almost right away," Bulma went on. Vegeta growled at the mention of the weaklings name. "Actually, now that I think about it, when I tried to kill Goku, it was right when I met him. Well, anyways, when Goku and Krillen met, they were always going at it. Then there was the Red Ribbon Army. I still have trouble believing that Goku defeated them at twelve. He actually befriended Android 8, and the only reason Dr. Gero was left alive was the fact that Goku had no idea about him. Otherwise, I'm sure Cell and the Androids would never have been. Oh, then there was Emperor Pilaf and his lackeys. They were always trying to kill Goku and get the Dragonballs," she paused to take a drink of her coffee. The two didn't even bother hiding their shock. While both of them knew that their friends had had lives before them, they couldn't believe how violent it had been and how much they'd been after each other's throats.

"Well, let's see. Tien was going to kill Goku at the 22nd Budokai, but decided not to for some reason. Yeah, that's right, Tien adn Choatzu were originally sent to kill Goku. Why was it again? Oh yeah, that's right, Goku had killed Tao, the brother of their former master. Piccolo, both times, tried to kill Goku and take over the world. Pilaf helped him the first time, and Roshi, Krillen, and Choatzu died, but were later revived. Hmm, am I missing anyone. I think I am," she said the last part to herself. Taking another drink from her coffee, it hit her.

"Launch, that's who!" She cried out.

"Who's Launch?" Asked Vegeta.

"An old friend. She'd got two personalities, ditzy and bitchy. Always handy to have pepper around her," Bulma said, chuckling.

:Huh?: Gohan wrote down.

"Oh, that's right, you don't know her. Whenever she sneezed, her personality would change. Most times, she was a ditzy bluish-purple haired girl who was very timid. But when she sneezed, she became a violent blonde who'd shoot enough that mad her mad. I still wonder where she kept that Tommy at," Bulma told them. The two gave each other a look and decided not to ask.

:Anything else?: Gohan wrote down, curious.

"No, not really. Man, the days of my youth sure were action filled. Not boring like they are now," she told them. Soon, they spilt ways, Bulma taking Gohan, who was carrying a notebook and pen with him to the main lab. Vegeta, well, I think we all know where he went. The two young demi saiya-jins were taken by Mrs. Briefs, who just adored the two young ones. After a month or so, things settled into a pattern. Of course, by this time, Trunks had a working vocabulary of twenty words and Goten was learning to walk.

"Vegetable!" Trunks yelled when he saw his father walk into the room. Gohan was playing with the two little ones in the living room while Bulma read her book. Vegeta growled as the other four laughed. Goten and Trunks had no idea why Gohan and Bulma were laughing, but they figured that if the two were laughing, they could laugh too.

Of course, being Vegeta's son, Trunks's vocabulary were mostly words that he'd picked up from his father. Of course, his favorite word was still Vegetable. For some reason, whenever he said it, everyone but his father laughed. But that was okay in Trunks's little head.

"Goen, mama, Vegetable, Goan," Trunks said, listing his family. "Gama, gampa," he went on, finishing up the list. Goten fell down, having tried to walk from Gohan to Bulma. And so, the family of five, spent the evening relaxing.

A/N: Hello, I'm back with another chapter. Guess what, I've got a pet grasshopper! Guess what I named him!

And sorry, to rose about screwing up your name last time. I have a problem spelling names from memory. The only reason I got Borachio's name right is because I wrote it down.

I know, Trunks calling Vegeta Vegetable is way over used, but it's funny. It wasn't until I read a thing by Chelsee that I remembered how violent DragonBall and DragonBall Z are. You can check out her page at Look under Odds and Ends and you'll find her three rants. Believe me, they are must reads to any true DragonBall person.

Honestly, that's the plain truth about Gero. Goku had no idea about him, or else, Goku would have hunted him down and killed the fool. Oh, and on different news, I finally got DBZ Volume 15! Oh, and Angel Sanctuary Volume 1, which I've read just this day. Why do I get the feeling that if I read it again, I'll just get more and more confused? Seriously, that manga is really confusing.

Oh, and if you like online comics, I've got two for you to check out. Succubus Justice and Megatokyo. Most people I know have heard of Megatokyo, but not many know of Succubus Justice. Megatokyo is at , and Succubus Justice is at

I found SJ from a friend and I absolutely love it. SO, when I saw that Fred (the creator of Megatokyo) had SJ advertised on Megatokyo for today's comic, I was in seventh heaven.

Funny, my notes always seem to end up being as long, if not longer than the story itself. Well, there's three sites for you guys to check out. Also, school starts Monday! And my first football game is in 9 DAYS! Bye, I gotta get something to eat before I head to Band for 4 hours tonight.
