Goku found being in this time hard. He knew things were going to happen… and he knew he couldn't prevent it. Goku looked a bit depressed and his father could see it so clearly on his face.

" Kakarot… I know it's hard on you… I've been through something similar… being cursed to see the future isn't pretty you know."

" Yeah I know… if there was a way around it…."

Goten looked over at his big brother. " Hey Gohan."

Gohan looked back at him. " What Goten?"

" Is father's day coming up?"

Trunks looked at him like he was nuts. " Goten that has got to be the most random thing you have ever said."

Goten almost completely ignored Trunks. " Well is it Gohan?"

Gohan thought for a minute. " Yeah Goten… I think it is… why Goten?"

" Well I wanted to get dad a present and I wasn't sure if it was almost time or not."

" Alright kiddo… what are you playing?"

" Well since I messed up with this whole thing… I thought I try again… but this time I will wish them back from otherworld…"

Gohan and Trunks smiled at Goten. " Awe you such a good little kid Goten, not to mention sweet." Trunks was semi teasing Goten.

Goten cringes. " Hey…"

Gohan laughed. ' You two are the craziest little Chibi's I've ever seen.'

Goten and Trunks were having a bit of a tussle match in the air. Gohan couldn't believe the two of them. Goku and Bardock stopped for a moment. They look back at the two kids. Goku wasn't as surprised as his father. Bardock smiled. ' those two are so cute together.' He thought.

Goku shakes his head. " Man, they are back at it again…. I can't believe it. It's like every time they are together they end up going that... they must really enjoy it."

" It may even be more then that…" Bardock said.

Goku looked at his father. " What do you mean… more?"

" Uh? Don't worry about it… we got dragonballs to find."

" Right." Goku turns his attention to the boys. " Hey… boys… we gotta get a move on."

Trunks and Goten stop fighting for a moment. " K!"

The three boys took of again.

Goku started at the dragon radar. Bardock looked at his son. " Well where is the thing?"

Goku looks at the dragon radar again. " Well from the looks of it… it is in the north. Not too far." Goku points in that direction.

After a few minutes they touched down. Goku looked back down at the radar. He followed the signal. He found it in the sand. He picked it up.

Time went by fast. Goku had picked up five out of seven dragonballs.

Goku looks at the dragonball radar. Goku noticed that the two other dragonballs were together. He looked at the radar with a puzzled look.

' Who could possibly have two dragonballs? Emperor Pilaf? Yeah I guess…. But then again it could be the red ribbon army… no that doesn't sound right. It must be Emperor Pilaf.' Goku thought to himself.

Bardock looked at his son. " What's wrong?"

" Two of the dragonballs are together. That must mean that someone else is looking for them… and I think it is one of my old enemies… Emperor Pilaf."

Bardock was on the verge of laughing. " Emperor Pilaf! What kid of name is that? What is he the emperor of rice!" Bardock joked.

Goten and Trunks heard that joke. They started to laugh. " Good one grandpa Bardock." Goten said.

" Yeah, Bardock… that was a good one." Trunks commented.

Gohan looked at his dad.. " Isn't that guy who looks like Garlic Jr?"

" That's the guy."

Gohan sighs. ' Man I hate that guy… he drove me nutty.'

" I couldn't stand him either kiddo. I had to deal with him through out my childhood. He was always trying to take me down… he never actually did… but man he came with the craziest ways of trying to do that.. If I'm correct he's still trying to get the dragonballs."

" So I guess we are going to fighting him again… oh well… I'll have fun beating his ass in."

" Yeah, and I'll have fun eating him." Goten said.

Trunks and the others looked at him like he was nuts. " Eat him!"

" Yeah… you said rice."

Trunks slaps himself on the head. " Goten you are helpless. You heard a food word and you stopped thinking."

" So where is the rice person?"

Trunks bangs him in the back of the head. " Hey stupid! He's a little blue man who wants the world… he's not a food."

" Oh… why didn't you say that!"

" I did say that you dummy! You heard me wrong… this guy isn't rice… but his name IS a rice name… anyway… Goten, stay focused here pal."

" Right!"

All the Saiyans made it to the castle in one piece. Goku stared at the dragonball radar. " Um… its this way." Goku and the others walked into a room.

Goten looked at it. " Uh dad, this place looks like a pinball game."

" That's because this is Emperor Pilaf's penalty room."

Bardock looked back at his son. " What the hell…"

" Don't ask. It's a long story. This guy is a nut."

" Even worse then you..?" Trunks questioned. Goten and Gohan gave Trunks a dirty look. " Why are you looking at me for?"

" Never mind… lets just get the dragonballs." Gohan said.

The Demi Saiyans all nod in agreement. They all walked into Emperor Pilaf's room. Bardock looked around. He narrowed his eyes. " Why does this seem too simple?"

Goku looked about the room. " It's not like Emperor Pilaf to leave these unprotected."

They walked a few more steps and then they realized they were stuck in bubble gum. Trunks cringes. " EWWW! This is nasty!"

" I knew it, that little dwarf." Goku said. Goku looked around some more.

' Where is he? I know he's near by.'

" Ah so nice of you to step in… get it step in…" No one laughs. " Geez you think you would get a joke."

Goku growled. " Cut to the chase Emperor Pilaf! What do you want?"

" How do you know my name?"

" Your repartition preserves you." Goku said.

" Well it feels good to be admired… as for what I want… I want that dragonball you got there." Emperor Pilaf got off his chair and started to walk toward him. He forgot about the bubble gum and well I guess you can figure out what happened… yeah that's right Emperor Pilaf got stuck in it.

" Having a problem!" Goku laughed.

" You're the ones who will be having problems! Mai…. Shu! Get me out of this stuff!" Emperor Pilaf shouted.

" Yes sire." Mai said, " Shu… the knife.." Shu goes looking in his pockets.

" Well where is it."

" I don't have it…" Shu muttered.

" WELL FIND IT!" Emperor Pilaf shouted again.

" Yes sire." Shu goes and runs off and a few minutes later, he comes back with it and he cuts Emperor Pilaf from the bubble gum.

The three buffoons pull out gas masks and sleeping gas comes into the room. All the Saiyans were quickly knocked out.

Emperor Pilaf looked at Mai and Shu. " That these brats to the holding cell… and don't forget to take the dragonball from them."

" Yes sire!"

Hey everyone. What did you think? Not bad I hope. Well I hope you enjoyed it. Sorry about the wait. Please review. Till next time.
