A/N: Been a while since I wrote anything... This has been bugging me for a while. I hope you all enjoy it. The next chapter will come soon I promise. I just needed to get this little prologue out.

Goku decides that he wants to give something important back to Vegeta for his birthday. Yet, the implications of what he does are something he does not understand. It only takes some time for him to find out the mistake he has made and how it could affect everything and everyone. "Vegeta, wait…take…take me with you."

The Prince's Birthday

The damn fool stood about ten feet away from me; he was just watching me. That damn fool had such a sad look, blood staining his clothes and his face. "Vegeta…" He watched me, before he dropped eye contact. I can't fathom why he's acting like this, and why… Why are we even so far apart? Things have been off for a while now, but this I cannot explain. The rest must just be a longing of something a lot simpler than it is now. "It's your Birthday, Bulma told me…"

"So what?" I growl a little bit, he's acting weird, and I'm not liking it. Something just isn't right. He slowly smiles then, looking at me.

"I asked Kaio-sama for something, just for you."

"And what is that?!" The way he's alluding the subject is starting to bother me even more. Something isn't right, and I want to know why I get this feeling.

"Well…it wasn't easy." He hesitates, trying to think over his words. This is nothing like Kakarrot. He's usually very adamant about things or even expressing things that he shouldn't. "…I gave you back something you lost. A long time ago." He took a deep breath and smiled at me. In his eyes I saw the sadness he was repressing. "You can go home."

"Home? What are you- "It clicked in my brain a few moments later. "Kakarrot you didn't." I breathed, starting to move forward. "Kakarrot tell me you- "I grab his collar, looking into his eyes. They hold everything and anything in them…. He's honest. He's as honest as ever. "Why?" I breathed, looking at him, shaking just a little.

"Because…that's what you want." He glances away. "I know it is, you've always just wanted to go back there. To where it was simple and where you were in charge of things. Where you were strong. You always get so angry because I don't act the way I should, because we're the last two. I get it, I really do Vegeta. I don't…I don't mean to hurt you like I do. Okay? I just…" He trails off. "I wanted to give you something really important back. I didn't know what but…Bulma and I talked about it. We talked about what you would want the most….and that's your race back. But we can't just bring a whole race to Earth, it wouldn't work. Especially one like ours… So I…So I spoke to Kaio-sama and we figured it all out…" He took a deep breath, silent for a bit as I got a chance to process all of this.

"You know what this means." I won't let go of his collar just yet… There is no way I could. He's going to try and flee, I can feel it in him. "Kakarrot," I hiss at him, "you know what this means!" He bits his lip before he looks at me.

"Yeah, I know. But…it's already happened. And it was agreed upon, I didn't just make the wish you know… So it's okay. It's okay for you to go home."

"Damn." I hiss out again, before I yank him down closer to me. "You think I'm the only one going back huh? Is that your intention? To get rid of me? Is there something I did!?" He's pissing me off, and I want to… I want to just punch his lights out. He honestly just doesn't get it.

"No! That's not what I want at all!" I watch the sadness return to his eyes. "Just listen to me for a moment okay, Vegeta!?" He frowns, looking at me. "I was trying to do this because you…you always seemed like you really wanted to go back! And you know I can't so I- "

"Tch." I let go, looking at him, letting my eyes harden. "You're an idiot, Kakarrot." I turn around, starting to leave. "I'll get ready to leave then but I'm going to warn you now…" I turn to face him, watching a confused look flutter across his face for a brief moment. He doesn't know what I'm about to say. "It won't be the same. The life you try to live after I leave won't be the same, Kakarrot." He seems to get more confused just by that. I let out a bitter chuckle. "Things will change now that you've done this. I'm sure you already know that things are changing." I finally get that feeling I've had for a while now. "How long, Kakarrot? How long since you brought our home world back?"

"H-huh? O-oh um…" He was counting on his fingers before pouting a little bit. "…. I think about two weeks." Yes, that explains a lot.

"Haven't you felt it then, Kakarrot? It explains so much to me, you know." I step forward towards him again. He blinks a little bit, looking almost confused as I start to move closer. "The pull I keep feeling…and I know you have to be feeling it too, don't you Kakarrot?" He makes a small sound as I quicken my pace. I had thought about leaving him like this, confused and maybe even a little scared. No, that's not going to get my point across to him. "Kakarrot." I hiss, stopping in front of him. His confusion has turned to something else, fear. I can see it flitter across his face and right into his eyes. He stares at me for a little bit before softly speaking.

"Vegeta…" He hesitates then, but I can see that he has a question for me. "Do you…are you…" He hesitates, not sure how to go about this. I know that he can't begin fathom what he's really done.

"Kakarrot…" I chuckle a little then and shake my head, looking downward. "Be ready for what you have caused. I cannot stop it and neither can you." I start to leave then, that is the most he's going to get out of me. Why bother with anything else? It wasn't like he would actually understand it.

"Vegeta!" He calls out but I leave with that notion. From what I understand. I have about a few days until the space ship will be ready… Of course, that doesn't account for it being ready yet. However, I don't suppose Bulma would just sent me away like that either.

x-x-x-x

I wasn't wrong, that is, about when I was leaving. A few days was all it took for the ship to be stocked and ready for departure. In that time, I had grown back my tail and gained a bit of power as well. The system of the sayian people was slowly starting to redevelop as the planet did. It was taking time for it to reach earth so the effects were still premature. Yet, I knew that it would be enough to affect Kakarrot as well. "Alright…" I look at Trunks who just shifts on one foot, he wants to come. I know he does but it is not the time for him to meet his Grandfather. I kneel down. "Trunks, get stronger, and one day I will take you with me. Alright?" I murmur, being gentle with him. He will not see me again for…well I suppose a very long time. It could be months, or years… But considering the trip itself will take time, the latter is the better option. Bulma smiles at me gently, and I kiss her cheek. We have not been in a relationship for some time now, but she deserves that much from me. "It is time for me to go then." I turn but a sudden spark of Ki stops me. I turn my head, watching the sky.

"Is something wrong?" Bulma frowns, looking with me. "Ah…" She spots him as I do. Kakarrot flies down and stops himself just barely in front of me. I can see the look on his face, fear and pure sadness.

"Vegeta." He hesitates for a moment before he shifts on one foot just as Trunks did. I watch his tail, something I have never seen before, rise off of him and flick. He seems uncomfortable almost, trying to find words he has never said. "…please take me with you."

"Eh, Goku?" Bulma blinks, taking a step forward. Her hand lifts off of Trunks' head and she has a look of worry that crosses her face. "Goku what's going on?" She murmurs and he looks at her for a moment before holding onto his head. I watch his legs shake before he is kneeling before me, biting his lip hard.

"Please…please just take me with you Vegeta…" His body trembles, this is out of character for him.

"Why should I?" I ask him, watching his eyes flicker to his hands.

"It's not safe for me here…" He whispers…

"Safe for you? Kakarrot what is the meaning of- "I stop myself. I know the answer to my question. "Shit." I breathe. I had not even taken this into account before. Before I had just referred to the roles of our people not…not this.
