I will be keeping Goku's saiyan name as part of the story since his birth name is Kakkarot. Not too sure if that's the correct spelling or not but oh well.
What happens when you mix saiyans and humans? A mess. This is an AU fic where Vegetasei was never destroyed by Frieza, Goku remained on his homeworld, and Chichi is a saiyan. That makes Gohan a full blood instead of a demi. Bulma and Videl are still humans. Sorry to Goten fans but for a while he won't be in the fic. I'll try to insert him later.

Preparing to Leave
Kakkarot quickly sneaks away from the palace garden towards the docking bay where the ships were kept. This was a very risky thing him and the Prince were doing but if they were to succeed, they needed to know how many guards were at the docking bays at this time of night. He peeks around and only notices 3 guards. He keeps tabs on the guards for about 15 minutes before noticing they changed shifts around midnight. The next group of guards came in 15 minutes later. He writes that down so that he could tell Vegeta that they had a 15 minute window at midnight to do what they needed to do. He slips away unnoticed and heads back towards home for the night.
The very next day there was a bad sandstorm blowing through the city. This caused ships to go unnoticed when landing or departing until they were within 10 feet of the ground. Usually when sandstorms like this hit, they lasted for 3-4 days at minimum. Kakkarot grins slightly knowing that would help him and V with getting away unnoticed. He slips into the palace and pretends to be going off to spar with the tempermental Prince. Nobody questioned him either since he was a familiar face. He walks up to the third level where the gravity chamber was and walks in. The Prince was already there working out so he quickly got his stretches done and joined the Prince in a friendly, if not vicious, sparring session. He also told V about the opening around midnight where they could get away without being noticed.
Vegeta smirks at hearing that and catches Kakkarot off guard. He slams him into a wall and whispers in his ear to be ready to go by 10 minutes before midnight. They were to leave tonight if all went according to plan. His partner in crime, aka Kakkarot, smirks and nods and elbows V in the stomach and kicks him backwards while giving him a wink and nod indicating he caught what was said. The spar lasted for another 3 hours before the two broke apart to rest.
"So, V, what will your father think when he finds out anyways? You know this is risky. If we're caught, I could be thrown into the dungeons for questioning or worse. They could possibly come up with something stupid like I was trying to kidnap you or something."
"Yes I know, but they won't catch us if you stay quiet. By the way, did you go see that girl yet?" Kakkarot grins from ear to ear and nods a quick yes which made V chuckle slightly. "Well done Kakkarot. I'm impressed that you got up the nerve to go after her."
"I know V. She was kinda surprised too but she was thrilled that someone actually liked her too. She even said that nobody had ever approached her before in that manner. She even offered to cook dinner for me one of these days. I gladly said yes to that. She's an amazing cook V, one of the best in the area. I wouldn't be surprised if your father tried to give her a cooking job here at the palace. She was kinda hoping to be able to work here someday."
Vegeta grins and nods. "I'll see what I can do to help her out a bit then when we return." He quickly shuts up as his father opens the door and walks in to do some practicing of his own. The King scowls at his son and Kakkarot and tells them to either get out, or be his personal punching bags. The two quickly vacate the room since they needed to stay in healthy conditions if they were to leave according to plan.
That night at 10 minutes to midnight, the two made their way down to the docking bays and noticed 2 space pods off to one side. They were unmonitored and had no markings. Those particular pods were for recon missions where secrecy was a must. They were unmarked so that nobody could know who sent them and so that nobody could track them either. Kakkarot and Vegeta wait in hiding till the guards leave then slip inside the ships unnoticed. No sooner do they lift off, the alarm sounds giving away their escape. They take off into space with about 4 other ships in close pursuit. If they wanted to lose them, they had to think fast.
A mile or two away from the planet was a small asteroid field. It was large enough to hide amoung to keep anyone from finding them. They navigate through the smaller rocks and take shelter inside one of the larger asteroids. The other ships had a hard time tracking them and after an hour of searching, gave up and went home. Kakkarot and Vegeta both grin and move away from their hiding place and begin the long journey towards Earth.
3rd chapter is up. I am still trying to come up with something unique for how Vegeta and Bulma meet so please be patient with me on this. I will continue with the chapters as often as I can. Please review. Thanks.
