"Vegeta's your father?!" Goku yelled struggling not to fall back, but he couldn't help it. Vegeta a daddy? Vegeta changing diapers? Vegeta going to the park to play catch? He just couldn't picture it…then again until today he couldn't picture the Saiyajin in a pink shirt either.

The purple haired teenager sighed, slightly embarrassed over the whole situation, "Uh…Goku, I didn't come here to tell you that."

"Oh! Right." He chimed, his face taking a more serious tone.

"On May 12th, three years from now, on an island 9 miles southwest of South City at 10 o'clock in the morning, two killer androids will appear." He breathed darkly, "These androids are heartless monsters, they have no souls and their eyes, I'll never forget their cold eyes…. They're unbeatable Goku! In my time we all live in fear of their next attack, not even a Super Saiyajin can beat them."

"But where are the other Z fighters? Aren't they helping you?" Goku asked confused.

"No, They died 18 years ago in a battle with the androids, Piccolo, Vegeta, Krillin, Yamcha, Chiatzu and Tien, they're all gone. The only one who survived was my master and friend, Gohan but the androids got him too in a battle 12 years later." Trunks brooded.

"What happened to me? Didn't I fight?" Goku asked, becoming concerned.

"No, you died of a mysterious heart virus before the androids came." Trunks answered.

"DARNIT! A lousy virus! I wanna fight! Maybe I could have made a difference!" Goku pouted.

"Wow, my mother was right, you could have made a difference." Trunks said in amazement at Goku's spirit.

"You're mother huh? Do I know her? Is she a neighbor or something?" Goku asked as he tried to fight off the gnawing suspicion.

"She's standing right over there." Trunks said as he pointed to the blue haired lady standing off in the distance.

This time Goku didn't catch his balance," BULMA'S YOUR MOTHER?! Ha…Bulma and Vegeta, who would have thought?…I mean…my gawd, I always thought Bulma would marry Yamcha!"

"No, my mother thought Yamcha cheated on her and well they were both lonely…It was sorta a passion thing but it didn't last you know how proud they both are." Trunks said his face beat red.

"Yeah, they're two of the most lively people I know," Goku said still trying to ingest this bombshell.

"Listen Goku, they're gonna find their way to each other pretty soon but if they get wind of it might not happen." Trunks warned.

"Don't worry your secret's safe with me." Goku smiled.

"Well I better get home before my mother kills me…oh…here man for your health, there may not be a cure for the virus in your time, but in mine they discovered one after you died." Trunks as he threw the antidote to Goku.

"Hey! They're purple! I bet they're grape flavored!" Goku said holding the bottle.

Trunks raised an eyebrow and said his good-byes to Goku, taking his leave to return to the hell in his current time line.

"Three years…" Goku sighed, "What am I gonna do until then?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bulma crossed her arms, she must be coming down with something, she had sneezed* so many times and she was positive this hot sun wasn't good for her complexion. Not that Yamcha or Vegeta, for that matter, would ask her if she needed shade or a drink, the jerks. She didn't know why she wasted her time sometimes. Then there was Goku. He comes back from who knows where after what seemed like an eternity and he acts like it had only been a day. Really, she just didn't get men.

She looked up into the bright desert sky to see the cute purple haired boy disappear as mysteriously as he had come. She sighed, why couldn't she have some normal friends? She saw Goku returning to the group, he looked so strange decked out in that alien garb. She had to admit she wasn't very keen to its fashion statement but Goku definantly carried it off. She smiled, despite the fact her woman's intuition told her Goku was bringing back bad news.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Making a long story short…well shorter) The group decided after hearing the doomsday prediction to take it seriously and train. They all parted ways and promised to meet again in three years. Unfortunately…it came sooner than any of them could have imagined.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On May 12th, two years later, a year earlier than the purple haired boy had predicted, on an island 9 miles southwest of South City at 10 o'clock in the morning, two killer androids arrived.

Author's note: And there it is the beginning of my odd couple ficcie. I know, kinda boring right now but c'mon that was the intro! That was a kinda excerpt from the episode of DBZ where Miria Trunks arrives and tells Goku about the androids but I don't think I got the quotes quite right…no biggie. Well tell me if you want me to continue with the idea and what you think in general. Oh and about the sneezing, in Japanese anime and such when someone sneezes its believed its because someone's talking about them. Also, this is an alternate universe fic. And to make my fic. run smoother, Goku didn't learn the instant transmission on Yardrat, I know it's a handy trick and all, but it doesn't fit into my plans. Ok I'm done ^_^
