Bardock was never a patient man; he had to learn it the hard way. For many years he served as a team leader, trainer, and a personal tutor for the Prince. On an everyday basis he had to stand his mates violent temper, and the worst her day at work the more abuse he had to take at home. When he returned home with his grandson and his mother, Bardock's patience had to take a new test. His wife wanted to kill him for bringing in a "pleasure slave", his son was annoying as always, and his head was filled with questions and worries he didn't feel like voicing out loud. After his son's explanation, his fiery wife finally shut up.
"Dad I've got to go to work soon." Radditz said. "You should show them to our guest bedroom and bathroom. Mom they both look a bit underweight and starving, and I could also use some breakfast."
"Fine." his mother growled sending him a death glare and running into the kitchen.
"Please follow me." Bardock started going up the stairs, and Chichi and Gohan followed not sure of what would happen next. "This will be your room" he pointed to a door on the left, "and the door next to it is the bathroom. Go ahead and get yourself cleaned and I'll try to find some clean clothes for both of you."
Chichi didn't have to be told twice; she grabbed Gohan's hand and dragged him to the bathroom.
After more or less twenty minutes they headed downstairs. Gohan followed his nose into one of the rooms downstairs to find a big table with 6 chairs, and on open passage into a big kitchen.
The small woman was carrying plates to the main table; she stopped when seeing both guests.
"I'm really sorry, I overreacted a bit." she quietly spoke "My name is Gine. Please make yourself at home."
"My name is Gohan, and this is my mother Chichi." The boy introduced himself and his mother.
Moments later Bardock came in along with Radditz.
"Boys this is Chichi and Gohan." Gine told them as they sat down. However nobody knew what to say next so they Saiyans dug into the huge piles of food in front of them. Gohan looked carefully at the new foods in his reach and his Saiyan appetite won. The Saiyans were surprised to see Chichi eat so little, and Gine began to wonder if her cooking was inedible for the woman. Gohan noticing Gine's inquisit glare to his mother began explaining: "It is quite normal for humans to eat less than one part of a hundred in comparison to me or father. I believe it is the result of our heightened metabolism and physical differences. Considering the fact that we are aliens, it would only be logical our feeding requirements would vary." He stopped seeing the surprised glare of his new found family.
After a long moment of silence Chichi gathered herself enough to ask the question haunting her. "What will become of us?"
„I think Gohan looks Saiyan enough to enter the training school, however he will have to become fluent in Saiya'go first." Raditz noticed.
"As for you Chichi, honestly I have no idea. It would be wise for to stay in the house, when I get a slave bracelet for you will have enough freedom to walk around and even find a job if you want. I can promise you one thing I will make sure you both are safe." Bardock declared.
"Does she really have to have a bracelet?" Gine asked "It's so dehumanizing, and that's why we never had a slave."
"I agree, however being a human with a bracelet she will be able to walk around freely, and my name as owner will give her security among other Saiyans." Bardock clarified.
„So what exactly do you do, and what kinds of job are there here?" Gohan asked curiously.
"Well Bardock has done many things, now he's a commander for the third and second class soldiers. Raditz was a lousy warrior, so after humiliating us completely he ended up being a computer systems technician. I'm currently working at the Royal Science Centre as a medical researcher, although I've always dreamt of opening my own restaurant." Gine explained. "What about you Chichi?"
„Mom was a princess!" Gohan said quickly before Chichi got a chance to speak.
"Well for a time I was, after I married Goku I simply took care of Gohan and the house." Chichi explained. "I can help with any house work and do whatever is needed."
"That would be fantastic! Finally some order and regular meal times!" Raditz exclaimed, Gine immediately grabbed a plate and threw it at him. „Well that's settled then, sorry I have to go to work!" he yelled rushing out of the room.
"Can you remind me why we had any children in the first place?" Gine whined.
„To have smart grandchildren!" Bardock answered smiling at Gohan.
„I'm off duty for the rest of the week so we shall start working on your Saiya'go." He told the boy. "We also need to go to the training centre to see what kind of power you go inside you, but first eat up son."
