...Studies? And those would be...?

Don't play stupid with me! It's where you focus your mind on something that isn't fighting! Like medicine or math, or reading!

Oh. Well, yes, those are important. You can learn medicine from fighting though. Learn how to patch up your wounds and those of your comrades..

Though I can't say they're more important than training..

I DON'T WANT MY BABY FIGHTING.

Oh, it's about your child. Sooner they learn, sooner they can protect themselves, that's my way of seeing it.

He was supposed to be a scholar, not a fighter.

Next thing I know he'll be wanting to enter the martial arts tournament. *looks horrified*

...He can't balance both?

I didn't think even Earthling children had minds that small, that they could only focus on one thing...

IT IS VERY HARD FOR MY BABY TO BALANCE BOTH WHEN PEOPLE KEEP STEALING HIM AWAY FOR MONTHS AND YEARS AT A TIME.

And my baby is not an Earthling, sadly enough. If he were an Earthling we wouldn't have this problem.

He's not an Earthling? What is he?

He's half. The other half is Saiyan. *waves her hand in disgust at the idea* I remember back when we were all normal.

Oh.. Saiyan..

Then... Your son is Gohan?

*beams at the mention!* That's my baby!

Do you know him?

Yes.. I have met him briefly.

I have been meaning to come by and see he and.. your husband at your house, to also meet you.

I suppose that warrants an introduction then. My name is Bardock. ~~Kaka~~ Goku is.. my son, actually.

...Oh?

I...Goku's father? I thought...I thought it was just Goku and Vegeta left?

I do not know why, but some threat caused that little.. blue.. creature.. thing.. with the monkey and the bug... to get the King Yama to let me out and bring me here.

Some threat was all he told me. So.. I'm here to protect my prince. And, since it happens to be the same planet, perhaps get to know my son... and his family.

Your...you mean vegeta. Why in Kami's name you'd want to protect him, I have no idea. He's in need of a serious talking to about that attitude of his.

Well, thats sweet. There's a surprise. I didn't think Saiyans were like that. I...you're welcome to come to dinner if you'd like.

He is the prince of a race that fell victim to genocide. He was forced to serve the creature that killed his people and his family from the time that he was ten... I know his temperament can leave something to be desired, but... I have seen what he came from, so I have a different way of seeing him.

As a soldier of the planet Vegeta, I swore my life to the royal family, and I honor that vow.

Thank you for your offer. I will take you up on it sometime.

~~I don't care where or when he came from. Anyone who lays a finger on my Gohan has no excuse.~~

That sort loyalty is admirable, really.

Just let me know ahead of so I can prepare everything. You boys have big appetites.

~~I understand very much. I wouldn't tolerate any harm coming to the two of my boys I knew.~~

It is the sort I was brought up on.

I certainly will.

If your brat didn't train he'd likely be dead by now. Is that what you want?

NO! What I want is for you EVIL PEOPLE TO LEAVE MY PRECIOUS BABY ALONE AND LET HIM BECOME A SCIENTIST.

You've got worse matters to worry about then me bothering your brat, you loud mouthed harpy.

Harpy! Why! You arrogant, self-absorbed, short little BEAST.

At least I'm not a hussy like the whore you impregnated.

~~That's what I get for trying to warn the brat's mother that that bloodthirsty bitch is after him..~~

Fine, in that case I hope she finds him and succeeds in her plans.

You just reminded me why I don't give a fuck what happens to this miserable excuse for a planet.

What? Wait! Vegeta! Who? WHO WANTS TO HURT MY PRECIOUS LITTLE GOHAN?!

And WHY WOULD YOU WISH BAD THINGS ON HIM? Just because I insulted that hussy! *seethes!* It's no reason for you not to help my BABY!

LEAVE then. No one's stopping you.

Did I say something? Dear me, it seems I've forgotten. What a pity.

What I do and don't do is none of your business, harpy.

This isn't fair! Why I oughtta kick you from here to West city!

Stop CALLING ME THAT.

Try me, I dare you.

That's what you remind me of, so why should I?

Vegeta.

What is it now Kakarott?

I'll get her to apologize for saying mean things about Bulma, but would you please tell me if my son is in danger?

Don't do that for my benefit, I don't give a damn about her deluded opinions anyway.

Possibly.

~~She's just a bit jealous, I think.~~

Tell me what you know, please?

Hmph.

All I know for certain is whatever that woman's up to, it's going to mean trouble, I'm sure of it.

Saiyans always do tend to be trouble. Gohan is safe for now. He's with Kami, training. He'll be fine.

So what? I don't see why I should give a damn anyway.

..I just wanted to let you know that your tip wouldn't go to waste. My son will be safe.

...Keep an eye on yours, okay? I know that he's a big boy and he's strong, but one could always use someone to have their back.

~~You will have to excuse this remark, ma'am, but may I say that the smells coming from your house are simply heavenly? You must be an excellent cook.~~
