Vegeta lifted his young head so he cold watch his playmate. Vegetas' jet-black hair laid slightly back in a candle-flame fashion. His jet-black eyes watched the two year younger male with a silently protective look. The four year old boy was standing on unsteady legs watching Vegeta. His own jetblack spiked out in every direction, and his black eyes danced with happiness.

"Look, Veta." Kakarot said. "I can walk better today.

"That's great, Mo." The six year old prince said.

Slowly Vegeta got to his feet, and walked toward his best friend. He touched the tip of his dark brown tail to Kakarot's slightly lighter one. The younger male grinned broadly, and wrapped his tail loosely about Vegeta's stomach. Vegeta smiled for a moment. Then, his young face returned to its emotionless state.

"Let's go tell Raditz." He said.

Kakarot grinned. Any excuse to see his big brother was a good one. Kakarot had never met any of his family except Raditz. Vegeta started walking toward the hospital wing, making certain to set a slow, but steady pace for Kakarot.

It only took them a few minutes to get to the hospital wing, but Raditz was stitching up a young males' arm so they sat in a corner. Unable to sit perfectly still for very long, Kakarot used his tail to poke Vegeta on the arm. Vegeta poked him back then they started trying to fight with their tails.

"Can you two just not sit still?" Raditz growled.

The two stopped fighting, and stared up in silence at the older Saiyan. Raditzs' long jet-black hair spiked down to his ankles, and cold black eyes watched the children calmly.

"Hey, Rad." Kakarot said happily. "I'm walking better today."

"Hey, Bobo. I was wondering if you made poor Prince Vegeta carry your heavy butt."

Raditz knelt down, and took Kakarots' legs in his hands. Gently, he pushed the legs of his sweat pants up. Angry red welts criss-crossed his legs. Raditz rubbed soothing liquid upon his wounds. Kakarot winced slightly as Raditz touched the new wounds.

"There you go, baby brother." He said pulling down Kakarots' sweat pants legs.

Kakarot got to his feet, and walked around for several seconds before he came to sit in front of his brother again. He gave Vegeta his sweet, reassuring smile. Vegeta gave a quick nod, and got to his feet. His outfit was identical to Kakarots' except Vegeta wore white gloves. Both wore a solid black T-shirt and black sweat pants with the same type of white boots. Vegeta had been wearing since birth.

Vegeta pulled the T-shirt off, and turned his back toward them. Old scars criss-crossed his back under newer red welts. Raditz silently shook his head as he rubbed the liquid upon the princes' back, and shoulders.

"There you all go." He said when he was done. "Run along now."

The two boys hopped out of their chairs, and ran off. Raditz simply shook his head, and prayed they wouldn't get into trouble.
