~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Goku took in the deep air. He was coming out of the forest and back into the light. Everything reminded him of home. How he missed Chichi so much. But it was his choice to stay here. Up ahead he could see his cabin. "What is going on?" He slowly climbed up the hill and stopped right infront of the door. He reached out with his hand and touched it to see if it was real or if it was his imaginaton. "I don't understand. It looks like my house. I think it is my house. But the last time I checked I was walking around in heaven." Goku looked at the door curiously. He then decided to open it up and see what was inside. Everything was exactly the same as how he left it. Well almost. There wasn't any signs of life anywhere. "I remember now! King Kai told me of this house! It is mine while I am here. Wow. I guess that means I can live here." He shrugged and moved over to the fridge. It was completely empty. He began frantically searching through all the drawers and cubborts pulling them all open as he did. There was nothing. "NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He fell to his knees. "No! I NEED food! Wait! If this is my house or what it is exposed to be then shouldn't the pond be near by. Fish!" He walked back out. "Now, where did the pond go. Oh yeah. It was a little to the left. But is this house facing the same way? AH! I need food!" His stomach began to grumble. "That isn't a good sound! FOOD!" He frantically looked in every direction for the pond. "There! Behind that house! Nice!" He ran down the hill with all his speed. In a split second he was standing at the waters edge. "Ooh! Fish!" He stripped down to nothing and jumped into the water. As a very skilled fisherman he quickly caught one. After getting dressed he grabbed the huge beast and started dragging it up to his house smiling very happy that he would get something to eat.
Destinanaia sighed and put her book down. She had been reading in the living room all morning. She looked out the window and saw Bardock hauling a big fish up to the cabin on the hill. But Bardock was wearing red and she knew that wasn't his choice of color. Then the old man next door passed by and started climbing up the hill after him. He called out to Bardock. Bardock dropped his fish and turned around. He ran down the mountain and hugged Gohan. "That isn't Bardock. Goku!" The real Bardock was once again visiting some of the greatest scientists of all time. But she didn't care right then. She just ran out the door to go see her child.
Goku was just at the top of the hill. Just a little higher and then he would get to eat. "Goku? Is that you?" Goku looked around at the sound of his name.
"Grandpa?" Goku looked at Gohan confused a little bit, but then he smiled his famous Son grin. "Grandpa! Oh I missed you so much!" He completely forgot about the fish and ran down to the old man to give him a hug. He was litterarly carrying the old man. Gohan laughed and hugged him back.
"Your still the same Goku and I am happy about that. Now put me down please." Goku laughed and set him back down on the ground. "Hm, that is a big fish you caught. But why did you catch it?"
"I am hungry."
"Your dead and your hungry." Gohan started laughing again. He loved Goku so much.
"Oh yeah, that reminds me. I gotta get this thing ready for eating. Come on!" Goku picked back up the big fish and carried it to the bench on his back patio. It was where he always cleaned his fish. Gohan took a seat by him and watched as Goku carefully worked while humming a cute song. He laughed a little bit. "Gohan taught me that song. He is so smart. I am so very proud of him. I think that is why Chichi wants him to study so much. He is just really smart and so she wants him to know as much as he can."
"You named your son after me? Now why would you do that?"
"Gohan picked out the name. You should have seen him. Chichi was going to call him Einstein, but whenever he heard that name he would start crying and wouldn't stop until you assured him that he wasn't going to be called that. I think it was the Ox King talking about you. Gohan started cooing and laughing when he heard your name." Goku started laughing again. Gohan though looked past Goku and smiled. Destinanaia was standing there not really believeing her eyes.
"Goku, there is someone I want you to meet." Goku looked up from his work.
"Who?"
"Destinanaia! Come on up here." Destinanaia shook her head out of its daze and slowly climbed up the hill. Goku smiled and waved. He was being nice to her and he didn't even know her. She didn't think that was even possible. She reached to top of the hill and stopped just a few feet from Goku. Since the day she died she had been waiting for this, but now she was getting shy. Gohan smiled and moved over on the bench making room for her. Goku never took his eyes off of her. She sat down between them.
"You look familiar. Have we met before?"
"I am not surprised you don't remember me. I died shortly after you were born. So did your father, but you can talk to him later. I am your mother Goku." Goku tilted his head to the side and studied her for a moment. He then smiled and hugged her. Tears of joy started falling out of her eyes. It was the first time is thirty years that one of her children hugged her.
"Hm? Why are you crying Mom?" More tears began to spring in her eyes.
"I am just so happy. Did you know that I haven't been hugged by either of my children or called Mom for over thirty years." She laughed and hugged him again.
"Oh. Is Radditz here?" She stopped what she was doing.
"Goku. He isn't here."
"Oh, so he is evil?"
"Radditz wasn't always the way he was when you met him. When he was a little kid he was just about the sweetest kid on the planet. He was always very polite and carrying. Simply things amused him, such as fishing and stuff. But Radditz was a very strong person. He was born with a high power level. He was taken away at such an early age to become an elite. It still hurts me to think about it." She looked down to the ground.
"Oh. I thought I sensed some good in him." Destinanaia smiled a little bit. "Would you like to stay for dinner too?"
"Sure. Why not? So tell me about your life a little bit Goku. I am interested."
"Uh...okay. Lets see, I met my Grandpa when I first got to earth. Then I met all my friends. Then I married Chichi. Then we had Gohan. Then I met Radditz. Then I met Veggie and Nappa. Only Vegeta hates it when I call him Veggie, I love to tease him. He is so arragont. Then I went to Namek. Then I fought Freeza. Then I won the battle, but he still lived and Trunks killed him. Then I got back to earth and Trunks told me of two killer andriods. Then we fought the andriods a lot. Then we met Cell. And I died in the battle against Cell, but Gohan beat him." He smiled prouldly when he said his son's name. "Those are the highlights."
"Tell me more about your family." So Goku told her all about Gohan and Chichi. He seemed very proud of them both and he spoke with great affection about them. She could tell that he loved them dearly. She smiled at this thought. Atleast her one son was happy. She looked down at her watch. "Oh! Bardock should be getting back."
"Let me take the fish in and cook it real quick."
"I'll just be in the front yard waiting for Bardock." Gohan and Goku went inside and she went out into the front yard. Bardock was walkind down the dirt path towards his house. "Bardock! Up here!"
"What are you doing up there?"
"Guess!"
"Is Kakorroto finally here?"
"Yeah! Now get up here!" Bardock shrugged and ran up the hill. He was interested in meeting his son. "He is inside making dinner." She took his hand and lead him into the house. Goku and Gohan were standing over the counter talking of different things as she lead him in. "Goku. This is your father Bardock." Goku turned around. He studied his father a bit puzzled. They looked almost exactly alike. Except for his father's scar. Even their movements were the same. Only Goku had more of a sense of innocence. After some time Goku immediatly embraced him in a hug. Bardock just kind of patted his back not really showing as much affection. He didn't show much after Radditz was taken away.
"Oh my kami! You are the second Saiya-jin to hug me. I just realized that. Mom hugged me first. Think of what Vegeta would say!"
"Vegeta?"
"The prince of Saiya-jins or whatever. He never shuts up about that. He is always going(immitating Vegeta's voice) Kakorroto! I am the prince of all Saiya-jins! I demand that you bow down to me at once for I am the strongest!" Goku started laughing at this. Bardock and Destinanaia didn't see any humor in this.
"Why wouldn't you bow down to him? He is your prince."
"Sorry, but I am not really into the whole Saiya-jin thing. It is just so funny when the little guy starts going on and on about it. I mean he is only like 5 ft 3 and his power level isn't even close to mine." He made motions with his hands to demonstrate Vegeta's size. For the rest of the night they chatted of such things catching up on all the lost years. Gohan left early to get some sleep. Destinanaia fell asleep on one of the kitchen chairs. Goku and Bardock were in the living room, still talking. A lot of it was making fun of Vegeta. "Dad, why was I sent to Earth as a baby? Sorry, but I have been wondering that most of my life."
"Well...I don't really know. I know that I sent you there. I did it because I was insane. I had just lost your mother and your brother. My sanity was completely gone at that moment. Please forgive me Son."
"Actually I am happy you sent me," he said just so ever calmly.
"How can you be happy?! Your own father sends you away when you are barely a day old and you are happy?!"
"If you hadn't sent me then I wouldn't have met Chichi and Gohan wouldn't be alive. And I would have never met Grandpa. Or Master Roshi, Yamcha, Puar, Tien," he was interupted.
"I get the point." Bardock smiled at his son proudly. "I love you so much Son. I am very proud of you."
"Hey I love you two Dad." They hugged eachother quickly.
~Epilouge~
Goku eventually went back down to earth. But as time passed Bardock slowly began to meet every member of his family. But the bond he shared with Goku was stronger than anyone elses. Except for the bond he shared with Destinanaia.
The End
