"Daddy, we're home!"
Goku walked outside to see Caden running to him.
"Hi, Babygirl."
He picked her up.
"Did you guys have fun?"
He asked; addressing both kids.
"Yeah!"
They both yelled. Gohan went inside to do homework leaving Goku and Caden.
"Daddy?"
"Huh?"
"Can we have fish tonight?"
He smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Of course we can. Change out of your good clothes and we'll get fish, okay?"
"K. What do I change into, Daddy?"
"Remember the outfit Daddy gave you on your birthday last month? The one like mine?"
"Oh yeah, that one...*Gasp* Yay, I get to wear it now!"
She ran inside and yelled.
"Finally."
Goku laughed and Chichi came out.
"What was that all about?"
"I told her to go put her Gi on."
"Goku, I told you not to get her one! You're NOT taking her to train!"
"No, I'm not Chi! I'm taking her fishing for dinner! I told her to get out of her good clothes and to put that on. I won't train her 'til she's older."
Chichi smirked and shook her head.
'I'll just have to tell him when the time comes.'
"I'm ready, Daddy!"
He smiled at the sight of his baby Babygirl. She was wearing a pink Gi with a red undershirt and red training shoes and wristbands. Chichi smiled when she realized he had gotten it personally made for her. It was her favorite colors, and fit her like a glove.
'Well, I guess it won't hurt to let her wear it more often.'
"That was fast, wasn't it, Daddy?"
He picked her up, earning a squeal in delight in return.
"Sure was!"
"Hey, Dad, where you and Caden going?"
"We're going fishing. Wanna come?"
"Yeah! Let me get something else on real quick!"
"Okay."
Goku, too busy with being excited about bonding with his daughters, didn't notice Piccolo. Chichi put a finger over her lips and smiled. He nodded and waited to see what all the fuss was about. He rocked Caden against his hip and Chiyu raced out; also not noticing Piccolo. She was wearing the Gi Goku gave her specifically for going outside (and not training... Very rare moments XD). It was a cerulean blue Gi and an army green undershirt with matching wristbands; she kept her black training shoes on. He reached out and held her hand. But, when they turned around, they came face to face, or, technically face to throat and waist (Piccolo's very tall) with Piccolo. All screamed, jumped back, and then laughed.
"Geez, Piccolo, you scared us!"
Piccolo smirked.
"Well, kid, you and your father tend to let your guards down."
They both smiled and Caden looked at him; nervously. While she'd seen Piccolo a few times before, yes, but she was never really fond of him. She'd only seen him, Gohan, Chiyu, and Goshen from the window. So, she did what any child would do! She held herself close to Daddy and hid her face in the crook of his neck. He chuckled and rubbed her back.
"What's wrong with her?"
Chiyu spoke up.
"Well, she's probably scared of you."
"Why would she be?"
"Well, I mean, we were all scared of you at first. You're taller than Dad, and you rarely smile. She's used to the opposite like we all were. Well, except for Goten... I don't think he really notices or cares, though."
The two looked over to Goku, who'd apparently been whispering to Caden the whole time.
"Did you hear us, Dad?"
Goku looked over and nodded.
"Yeah, just trying to reassure her."
Piccolo was honestly surprised he knew such a word and used it in a sentence.
'What more does he know that he doesn't show to anyone?!'
Chiyu was also sufficiently impressed, but probably handled the situation better; key word being probably.
'Why doesn't he ever use these words on a daily basis? More importantly, why does he act stupid 75% of the time!?'
"Anyways, I came here to talk to Gohan."
Chiyu snapped out of her thoughts.
"Oh, Gohan. Yeah, he's in his room."
Piccolo nodded and then was off.
"Ready to go girls?"
They both smiled infamous Son smiles and walked off to 'Fish Lake'. (Gohan first called it that, and so the name just stuck.)
"I hope we get a big one!"
Goku nodded with a smile.
"Yeah! Maybe it'll be a hundred thousand million feet big!"
Chiyu and Goku laughed.
"I don't know if it'll be that big, baby."
She pouted, crossed her arms and muttered under her breath.
"It could be..."
They both laughed again. After a few minutes (and a few jokes), Caden was back in a good mood.
"Daddy, are we almost there?"
"Almost."
Silence...
"How about now?"
"No, Caden, you have to be patient"
Silence again.
"Now?"
Goku and Chiyu let out exasperated sighs and Goku responded.
"No, Caden, not yet. Tell you what. If you're patient until we get there, Chiyu and I will show you some Ki exercises, okay?"
Chiyu's eyes about popped out of her head.
"What!? Dad no, we can't train her yet, Mom will be sooo mad!"
"Don't worry, Chiyu. We just won't tell her! Besides, they're just measly Ki exercises!"
She visibly paled.
"Okay, if you say so. You hear that Caden? It's a secret, so you can't tell Mommy, Goten or Goshen, okay?"
"Okay!"
Then he realized.
"Wait, why can't she tell the boys?"
"Because they'll spill the beans. Also, if they even mention a bit on accident to Mom, they'll talk. I've known Goshen long enough to know not to trust him with a secret. Goten's exactly the same. Oh, and don't forget about Gohan... Gohan can't even lie. So you can't tell Gohan, either, k?"
"Okay! I promise!"
They all laughed until Goku announced their arrival.
"Yay, we're here! Now I get to train!"
