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 walked into the room ten minuets later, a young boy following her. Another young boy came in right after the last and both were staring at her angrily.
"But mom!"
"Bulma please!" Twin voices said in sync.
Well, actually, the boys weren't twins, seeing as they were not related at all unless you went back 18 generations to Trunks' seventeen times great aunt who married the fifth cousin, twice removed in Goten's family; and seeing as the two had long ago died a death that could rival that of the infamous couple wrote down on paper by a one, William Shakespeare, the tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet, nearly 250 years prior to the destruction of Planet Vegeta.
"I said no, now go bug Vegeta!" She told them, raising her voice. Footsteps headed towards the room and the two boys cringed. They knew who was coming and they were scared. No, scared is not the word, more like terrified. And it wasn't the mighty prince of saiya-jins.
::Oh Goten, Trunks, come here.:: Gohan's "voice" floated into the room. The boys looked at each other in looks of pure terror and hid behind Bulma.
Bulma had no idea what the terrors had done, but she figured that Gohan would make an excellent babysitter at that moment.
::Sure, I'll watch them.:: Gohan's mental voice said, catching a snippet of Bulma's thought.
"Thanks," she said. Gohan finally came into view and dragged the two away, a smirk dominating his face. Trusting that Bulma would leave him alone, Gohan headed up to his room, a young boy in each hand.
Throwing the two onto his bed, Gohan pulled his chair over until it was in front of the door. He sat down and the boys gulped. This was the cruelest punishment in the world.
Gohan laughed and used a trick he had learned from Vegeta. The ki bonds. But, thanks to a little improvement, the person who made them could only break them, or by someone stronger than the person who made them. So, unless Vegeta suddenly had developed a nice side, the two boys were screwed.
Gohan pulled out a capsule he'd made in Bulma's lab, one that kept food good no matter what. Inside was a gourmet feast. He opened the capsule and left the room, laughing.
Goten and Trunks looked at each other, then the food, then each other, and so on for a good 10 minutes. That's when an explosion rocked the building.
Now, this is Capsule Corps. headquarters. Explosions are a part of the normal routine, whether it be from one of the labs, Vegeta, an invention, Vegeta, Goten, Vegeta, Trunks, Vegeta, Gohan, and yes, Vegeta. So, it was no surprise when Bulma just sighed and went back to talking to the group of students that were with her.
Goten and Trunks didn't care. It didn't concern them and it couldn't help them get their food, so it wasn't important in their minds.
But, Gohan and Vegeta had entirely different thoughts. They had been sparring lightly when an entire wall of the gravity room just exploded. Now, the gravity room could handle anything it seemed. It could handle both Gohan and Vegeta in almost SSJ3. Neither could quite make it up to the next level, but they were close. And they hadn't even come close to SSJ1 in their spar.
And then, they felt it. A large ki very close to them. But, since it was very much weaker then them, they ignored it, figuring that they would go and check it out later. Later never came.
The passed quickly, and soon, Gohan's class left, much to his relief. Although, he defiantly was not looking forward to Thursday. Gohan and Vegeta forgot about the abnormal ki they had felt, for an even greater challenge was approaching.
The 26th Budokai was approaching and both wanted to be in top shape for when he would face the other. So far, none of their friends had said that they'd join. In fact, everyone but Krillen and 18 had said no, and the two had said maybe on that matter.
Hey Vegeta, Gohan!A cheerful voice said out of nowhere. Both recognized it, though their reactions were totally different.
"Kakarot, is that you?" Asked Vegeta.
::Hello father.:: Was the cool voice from Gohan. Vegeta gave his godson an odd look. He thought the boy adored his father.
Yep, it's me. I'm using King Kai as a telephone.Goku's voice came out, in a giddy, almost giggling manner.
::Hello King Kai.:: Gohan said, his tone of voice changing completely.
I get to come back for a day.Goku suddenly announced.
"When?" Vegeta asked.
The day of the tournament. Well, I have to go now, see you then!And with that, Goku's voice faded away. A small, angry growl come from next to Vegeta. It was Gohan.
"You okay?" Asked Vegeta. Something was up with Gohan and he was curious.
::Leave me alone.::
"No, I think you should tell me," was the calm, cool reply from the prince of a race that had died to the creature that had once enslaved his entire race and used them to do his dirty work. After all, why do work yourself and possibly be beaten when you can enslave the second most powerful race in the universe. The first were a race that had died out over a millennia ago, but it was said that they had enough power that it eventually destroyed them.
Vegeta grabbed Gohan's arm and made the teen stay. "I won't let go until you tell me."
::What? What do you want to know? That I hate the man whom is my father in only birth, that I even have gone as far as to ask my uncle how to forget the man! I'm sorry, but unless you have gone through this, don't you dare say you understand!:: Gohan tried to jerk his arm away but it was caught in Vegeta's viselike grip. He cursed.
"What, and you think my childhood was a walk in the park?" Vegeta spat back. "Boy, you may have been in your first fight at the age of four, but me; I was already conquering planets by that time. I had to grow up alone. I only knew of Nappa and Raditz. They were what was left of my race. Do you know how degrading it was for me to have to kneel before the creep Frieza? Every. Single. Day." He went on. The last few words were spit out forcefully. Gohan looked down in shame.
::I'm sorry, but he doesn't act like he even cares for me and Goten.:: Gohan replied.
"Mine handed me over to Frieza without a second thought," Vegeta replied. Gohan couldn't think of anything to say. Vegeta let him leave, but just as Gohan opened the door and was halfway out of it, Vegeta said something that made Gohan feel better.
"But I understand what you're feeling."
A/N: Hello, I'm here. Well, I told you I wasn't going to dwell on trip to Capsule Corp. And before any of you can say it, the reason they didn't check out the high ki is because it didn't feel that high. It was abnormally high for most of the population, but it was small to them. I don't know much of Vegeta's childhood, but from what I do know, what I've written about it seems to fit okay in with the show.
Hey, I've got two sites, and Both are juts beginning, but I'm going to get the paper work to make them legal with Toei and Funi. I don't want to get sued. If you hadn't guessed, their DBZ sites. Sister sites too, along with a few others that I'm thinking of making. I think I'll probably end up with three or four websites dedicated to DB/Z/GT.
Maybe a site a show. That sounds good. Or, I could have an info site or two and one fun site. I don't know, I'm not sure. When I decide and get them finished, I'll tell you.
Bye, I have to go eat my dinner now. See you next time I write something!
P.S. Buu Saga may appear, I'm not sure. I'm changing my mind and may add Buu in.
