Reminder: Italics are thoughts
Vegeta sat at the table in the corner of the garden watching the others have fun at the dinner party that Bulma decided to throw for the two couples. As he watched Trunks and Goten spar his thoughts drifted to his own childhood and he wondered what the boys would have thought of a true Saiyan upbringing. "Hey Vegeta what are you doing here by yourself?" Goku sat on the edge of the table. "For your information Kakarot I was watching the boys sparing and I was...I was thinking." Goku sat there for a moment staring at Vegeta, amazed at the admission. True since they defeated Buu they were...well not necessary friends but Vegeta had stopped trying to kill him all the time, hell they even spared...not sure what that counted as, but it was something and he could work with that.
"Thinking of anything special there Vegeta?" Both men stared at each other for a few minutes before Vegeta sighed and admitted, "I was thinking of my childhood on planet Vegeta, and how our boys would hold up to it." Goku nodded, "That would be interesting, and not just for the boys. You know Vegeta it looks like you have been thinking about this for a while." Vegeta began drumming his fingers on the table glaring at Goku, "Yes I have. Lately I have been thinking more about our home-planet." The two men sat there in silence for a few minutes both engrossed in their own thoughts until Vegeta got up and pushing his chair over stormed out of the room.
"Goku, is everything alright with Vegeta?" Bulma asked coming up behind him. "I don't know Bulma; he said he's been thinking of our home-planet for a while now. Especially about what the boys would think of it." Bulma took a few steps forward, "I'm worried about him Goku. He really hasn't been himself since he was wished back." Goku got off the table and put a comforting hand on Bulma's shoulder.
"Well I don't think you have too much to worry about. I believe I have a solution to your problem." Turning at the new voice Goku and Bulma came face to face with..."King Kai! What are you doing here?" Goku shouted. "Well Goku I have been talking to some of the other Kai's and it has come to their attention that a number of people have been making...very similar wishes. As a few of those people are considered for special attention they have decided that the wish is to be granted." Bulma and Goku stared at him for a moment.
"Dad...who's this?" Gohan, Goten and Trunks came up behind them with Chi-Chi and Videl following close behind. "This is King Kai, and apparently he's here to grant a wish. I'm still a little confused about all of this King Kai." King Kai smiled, "I know Goku I'm a little confused by this myself, but I was told to come and get you, Chi-Chi, Gohan, Goten, Vegeta, Bulma, Trunks and Videl if she wants to come as well. And don't bother asking where you are going," King Kai chuckled, "it's a surprise."
"Okay King Kai how exactly does this surprise work?" Goku asked. "It's really quite simple Goku, if you agree to the surprise I will transport you all there. You will wake up in your new rooms with the surprise waiting for you. You can stay for as long as you want and when you want to come home you can call me and the next morning you will all be back in your own rooms. Simple." Everyone stared at King Kai for a bit.
"Well it sounds good to me" Bulma eventually said, "What do you think Trunks, want to go on an adventure?" Trunks smiled at his mother, "Ya mom, it sounds like fun," he said nodding his head. Beside him Goten looked just as excited. Goku looked at Chi-Chi excitedly. Chi-Chi sighed, "oh alright we can go." She turned to Videl, while the boys began jumping up and down. "Would you like to come with us Videl?" Videl looked confused and a little unsure but agreed, "Sure, why not." Goku punched the air above his head, "Woo-Hoo looks like we're all going!" Chi-Chi and Bulma shook their heads; it still amazed them how he could still act like such a child despite his age. "Well if everyone's in, then I'll tell you one more thing. Later tonight the boys will be getting a little surprise. If any of the women want what the men receive then let me know." With a mischievous glint in his eye King Kai disappeared.
In his room Vegeta stood on his balcony railing leaning against the house staring at the stars. He couldn't believe that he actually admitted his thoughts...and to Kakarot of all people. As he sat there lost in his thoughts he felt a strange tingling sensation at the base of his spine. Reaching back to scratch it Vegeta froze as he felt something furry there. Lifting his shirt and looking behind him Vegeta was amazed to find his tail there. How long had it been since he last had his tail? Wondering what had brought this on he went in search of his woman, I know that she has a hand in this somehow. When he returned to the garden he found it in chaos. Apparently he was not the only one who had been given their tail back. Wrapping his tail around his waist Vegeta entered the garden.
"Dad!" Trunks came running up to him in a slight panic, "Dad Goten and I were sparing and then this thing came out of nowhere," Trunks was holding up his tail, looking worried. Vegeta chuckled, "That is your tail Trunks. All Saiyans are born with tails." As if anticipating his son's next question Vegeta continued, "My own tail and Gohan's was removed during battle, I don't know how Kakarot and his youngest brat lost theirs but your mother had your tail removed not long after you were born." Vegeta looked down at his son who looked extremely confused by having a tail. 'Wrap it around your waist. You should always do this when you are in public, epically when around unrelated females. It is considered very improper to do otherwise." Trunks and Goten had intense looks on their faces as they tried to control their tails. Vegeta chuckled and shook his head at their attempts, "Relax. Think of your tail in the same way as you think of your arms and just do it." He turned to look at Goku and Gohan, "the same goes for you two." When he looked back to check his son's progress he was shocked as his son's hair suddenly turned black to match his tail. Deciding he had had enough and wanted answers he turned on Bulma, "explain this woman!"
