Chapter 10: The Camping Trip
The weekend finally came around, Trunks and Vegeta brought their camping stuff down to the dining area so after breakfast they could leave.
Bulma came down from the lab to get something to eat before heading back. This was the first time in almost the whole month her family besides her father has seen her.
"So you decide to finally grace the rest of us with your presents, Woman" Vegeta scoffed. Bulma laughed and rebuked, "Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. I seem to remember you would be gone for months at a time training before the androids appeared it taken my dad to shut down the GR and threaten to dismantle it as well as dismantle the ships and then drag you to the hospital when I was about to have Trunks."
Vegeta declared, "That was something completely different. Oh, I do have a request regarding the GR; it can wait until after we get back from Planet Vegeta. I wanted to know if it was possible for you to make like a force field type device for it to keep Kakarot from just popping in and out of it disturbing my training." Bulma gave a questioning look at Vegeta and asked, "What did he want?"
Vegeta looked at the floor "He invited Trunks and I to go camping with him and his sons. I was going to decline but Trunks here convinced me otherwise. Anyhow we were going to go meet up with them after breakfast and head out to the camp site wherever that is."
Bulma held back a laugh at imaging Vegeta camping, "I know the spot it is always the same spot that he likes camping at, it will be by the river". Then Bulma's mind rewound as it finally registered "Hey, Vegeta did you say 'after we get back' so you will be coming back to Earth with us?" Vegeta smirked "So what if I did?" Bulma smiled, walked over to Vegeta, and kissed him on the cheek.
Meanwhile at the Son's residence, Gohan and his family walked over to the parents' house to join them at breakfast. The plan was that while Goku, Gohan, and Goten were camping with Vegeta and Trunks, ChiChi, Videl, and Pan would go and visit with Hercule for the weekend.
Gohan asks Goku "did you seriously ask Vegeta to go camping with us?" Goku laughed "Why not? We can take this opportunity to ask him what things are like on Planet Vegeta." A gruff voice from behind answers him, "And, what makes you so sure I will answer those questions Kakarot". Goku turns around "Oh hey, Vegeta you're early." Gohan looks at his watch "Actually Dad, he's on time, we're running behind".
Videl had taken a look though Gohan's luggage and found a capsule containing paperwork and books for his job. She brought it into the dining area, and asked him about it. "So you call this taking a break from work by bringing your work with you?" Gohan turned red do to him being caught trying to sneak work "That would be mom's influence I'm afraid. Every time Dad would take me camping, she would make sure I brought my homework." Videl looks at him with a raised eyebrow "You know what Gohan I'm going to hijack all of your stuff you brought for this weekend trip and repack it; it looked like you forgot how to camp."
Videl picked up his stuff and carried it back to their house. She packed a GI outfit, a pair of jeans, two t-shirts, and a pair of shorts. She also packed a can of bug spray, a flashlight, and sunscreen (not that she has ever seen him get sunburn). Then brought the one backpack back in comparison to the three bags he originally brought and set it with his sleeping bag. "Gohan, should I check this too for hidden job related work?" She asked accusingly. Gohan felt like he was sitting on a bed of nails because he had five more Capsules hidden in the bag the other ten were in the bags of stuff that she already repacked. He was about to panic because he had another huge project that needed to be turned in that Tuesday and it would take him all day and all night Monday to make up the time lost during the camping trip. He resigns into defeat, "You caught me Videl, there are five more capsules in the sleeping bag go ahead and take them out". Videl smirks "I think you should train. You have gotten out of practice because you do not know if you might need to fight after getting to Planet Vegeta."
Vegeta could not hold it in anymore and actually busted out in a laugh "I can't believe you have allowed yourself to become so weak as to not argue with your female". Gohan retorts, "I don't know you but it is best to not argue with these two, they carry some heavy artillery". Vegeta snarls, "I've heard about that frying pan, it doesn't scare me. What is so scary about it?" Gohan adjusts his glasses and replies, "The frying pans are made up of what is possibly the hardest know material know in space combined with raw Diamond and cast-iron they were specially made for mom and Videl." Vegeta gives a nod "That actually sounds pretty impressive now tell me who made them so I can punch them out for creating such a weapon". Trunks chuckles, "Mom made them, she also has one, she just decides not to use it." Vegeta face-palms himself "I walked right into that one." Everyone laughs and finishes their meal.

Goku smirks "Hey, Vegeta I bet I can catch a bigger fish than you." Vegeta scoffs, "Not on your life, Kakarot". Goku takes his GI outfit off deciding to keep his boxers on this time. Vegeta dives into the river and makes chase with the first fish he sees "These fish are huge. Are they alien?" Goku dives in and makes chase on a big fish.
Gohan was tending the fire while Goten and Trunks were talking. Goten asks Trunks, "Have you had any weird cravings lately?" Trunks nods his head "Yeah, but I shook it off." Goten responds, "The one I had was, Dinosaur testicles stuffed with carrots cooked in vanilla extract". Trunks rocked his head back and forth "That sounded better than the one I had. I wanted; Brussels sprouts stuffed sardines cooked in pickle juice." Gohan interrupts their discussion and interjects, "It seems like the slowing agent Bulma make is not working right". Vegeta shows up with his prize and correctly informs Gohan, "It is working right it keeps them from going after the craving, because if they went after the cravings it would speed up the disease." Gohan nods his head in acknowledgment then, Vegeta adds, "Your woman is most certain about what she told you, you do need to train and we will most likely have to prove ourselves to my father in fighting ability since we all have been raised off planet, so you need to be in the best shape you can be. Most likely, we will face off with elites and they will not hesitate to kill you even though we are all stronger than most of the elite soldiers, but it is not wise to under estimate them. You should know that, you have faced more sayians than your brother or my son here and that includes me." Gohan heaves a heavy sigh "I understand Vegeta".
Goku appears with three giant fish and asks, "What is this about fighting?" Vegeta explains, "I was just explaining to your boy here that we will have to prove ourselves to The King, my father, since we were all raised off of Planet Vegeta. We need to be in our best shape, because we will most likely be facing off with the elite soldiers." Goku smiled his goofy smile, "Sounds like fun Vegeta." Gohan shakes his head in annoyance, "You think every type of fight sounds like fun". Vegeta chuckles, "That is how a typical sayian is, for someone that is as smart as my woman and has sayian blood I'm surprised you didn't catch that. There are few fights I didn't find enjoyable." Gohan glares at Vegeta "I never wanted to fight just to be fighting; I fought because my home, friends, and family was being threatened. I trained because I had to. In the case of me playing super hero I wanted to help protect those that couldn't protect themselves." Gohan throws a punch at Vegeta hitting him between the eyes, catching Vegeta off guard. Vegeta shakes the punch off and continues, "You keep telling yourself that but deep down you know you enjoy fighting, that is the sayian blood in you. I warn you now we will be on Planet Vegeta for a while and this goes to you two boys as well (looking at Trunks and Goten) do not be surprised that the sayian blood that runs through you will come more to the surface because here on Earth your human blood shows more on the surface. If you don't train you will be lower than a third class and you won't be worthy of the title super sayian" Vegeta said now trying to goad Gohan into fighting him because he knew the last time he fought was with Majin Buu. Goku caught onto what Vegeta was doing he realized that in order for Gohan to get back into shape, not that he was physically out of shape only out of shape with fighting, he was going to need to face both him and Vegeta. Then an idea hit him "Hey Vegeta, I just thought of this, it will work I promise." Gohan calmed down to listen to his father's idea. Goku continued, "It was actually Gohan's idea when we were training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. He was saying I was being soft on him and that in order for him to become super sayian he had me attack him at my full strength. So here is how it will work, we will fight each other but where it is four against one the single person will fight in their base form while the other four people fight as super sayians. There is nothing to worry about I have senzu beans on hand". Vegeta thought about it and thought it sounded like a good idea then it hit him "Wait Kakarot, why do you have senzu beans with you on a camping trip?" Gohan chuckled "In the past while camping we were attacked. Best example is when Cooler came here to kill dad. He came here before facing him again on new Namek." Vegeta was starting to get annoyed with all this chitchat, "Okay, since we have a training plan let's begin". Therefore, everyone got up and started training.

After training all day, fixing the fish that Goku and Vegeta caught, and eating it was time to sleep. Vegeta tossed and turned having bad dreams about his childhood under Frieza's control; he woke up and walked over to the river he looked at the moon's reflection in the water. Then he started to meditate.
Meanwhile on Planet Vegeta… Bardock was sleeping in his room when he had a strange dream. He had what seemed like a vision, but it wasn't how it used to be, because while he was in other world he figured he could manipulate how the visions worked to where he could see the things that led up to the things he saw in his visions of the future. In addition, while in other world he also managed to convince King Vegeta that he could see things that happened in the future, damn near taken almost thirty years but he convinced him. Now he is like a shaman, for The King. Bardock wrote out the vision on paper and placed it under a book. After getting that done, he went back to bed, to lay down with his mate.
