Chapter 4 Dinner parties

Freiza's POV

Until now I HATED fancy dinners, I detested going alone, a few times I did what Cooler does, and took a young girl and told the girl that if she wasn't good, I'd kill her planet. Coolers girls were gorgeous, and quiet as all hell, I decided to try it but afterwards I'd find the girl crying, I tried to tell her that it will be ok but she just cry and cry, depressing really.

So I gave up, and until Zarbon I thought I was going to be alone. Not that there is anything wrong with being alone some people like it, but some people don't, I'm one of those people.

I've had Zarbon for a whole fortnight now; the child can speak a little, but I had no intention of sending him away. Zarbon loves me and every day he hugs me, I am very kind to him, well I hope I am, I assume I am. Zarbon smiled at me he was reading a book in Celic, his reading and writing level… was minimal, I guess Belo didn't own much literature, he looked scared most of the time, I buy him enough STUFF, to sink a ship, well not literally obliviously. But still…

I heard a little noise. My boy was getting a suit measured for my dinner party, he was so cute, and he ran in and twirled several times, showing me his suit I smile, "lovely" I say softly. He smiled at me, we were happy, I was happy, and he seemed rather happy. If only other people stopped the gossiping, I'd be happier... whenever I walk down the halls, with Zarbon, he normally wanted to hold my hand, which I allow, but people gossip they say I hurt my baby boy. I beat him, Zarbon looks pretty happy he loves his loft I got him a bucket of paint and helped him paint 'Zarbon' on the wall in front of his bed. Then he wanted to paint animals on the other walls, I let him. I helped him, and his happy. He is VERY nervous about his very first fancy dinner, but excited at the prospect of owning his own suit. It made him happy, he proved this by proudly jumping around.

"Master, Master prettz." I smile, the doctor must have taught him 'prettz because I sure didn't I smile, it has a black jacket with a blue shirt and black shirt, I have a blue tie for him, but he didn't need to use it. I wondered about if letting Zarbon have this life is the right thing for a child, a life of travelling always being somewhere else, he could be very lonely, there is not a lot of kids his age around, I told him all of that all he said was (after translation) 'will you be with me?' he asked and I nodded and he cuddled me and that was all.

"I am glad you like it so much," I say, I smile, I had no idea why he is so happy, as a kid I hated dinner parties, as a adult I hate dinner parties. So nothing has changed anything I laugh loudly. Zarbon jumped up on me, I twirl him around. "It's not nice to hurt Master." I curl him up on the couch; I reach for his school work and put his school folder with my language filling quarter of the folder, his language filling the other three quarters, he grumbled. His tutor was teaching him his language for reading while slowly integrating mine language to him, it was smart. He went to his language, he started sheet 1.12 he was doing compound-words the boys teacher said he was very behind his normal age group (thanks to Belo) but that's ok, I smile at him, and I proudly say, "good boy," he smiled at me. His speaking was coming along well, I stroke his hair he curled into me, I get my translator thing, and 'take a bath' I write he nodded and jumped up and ran into the bathroom. I laugh his a cheeky kid.

Zarbon was nearly over the fear stage, I am so happy. The first few days he cried a lot, and often ran under the table and hid there and refused to get out, but those moments were getting fewer and fewer I had to convince him out only three days ago through, Tonight's dinner party will be a huge test I go to my closest and choose my new armour, I walk to the bathroom door, Zarb is use to sharing my bathroom now.

"Hurry up child" I say from my room I put my first black layer on at first than my shiny armour and purple cape as I put my boots on I go to the splashing noise AKA Zarbon. "ZARBON"

"Ye Master," he said with a heavy accent. I get my translator, 'get out of the bath and get ready' I type, I felt a splash I go to my room, and I go to my desk and take out a box, a beautiful diamond strutted collar looked at me. I smile Zarbon was out of the bath I saw him combing his hair in his suit. He looked lovely the child smiled and he said "Zarbon scared" I smile,

"You have no reason to be," he will meet my Father and Mother (so maybe he does have a reason), but he knows this, I show him the box I put it in his arms he looked up confused, I felt sorry about it.

"Master?" I smiled he was such a good boy, he opened the box and seeing the beautiful collar he made a noise of delight, I put it around his neck, he smiled,
"If you don't want to wear it, Master doesn't mind," I say he blinked I sigh and write it on my translator, Zarbon blinked again, and took his out of his translator,

'Very shiny' was all he said I laugh, and my cheeky little guy blushed, the collar (like Zarbon) cost a pretty penny but I do not care, he is my precious my apple of my eye. He played with it, I didn't mind if he wore it once and that's it, I only wanted him to feel safe. He ran to my mirror,

"You be good tonight" I say the boy in the mirror blinked, I got the translator out, last thing I wanted was Zarb embarrassing me but let's face it if the worst thing that happens tonight is Zarb forgetting which fork to use, I will be very, very happy. The boy grabbed my hand, and he looked at me, I plat his hair, it's down to his shoulders now it's long enough for a short plat. Zarbon looked at me, I patted his head and I looked in the mirror, we looked odd together. But hey, holding the child's hand we walk through my ship before we enter the room I stroke his hair, "shh it will be ok" I say evenly we enter the big ball room.

The room was filled to the brim, there was people everywhere, and food were on tables, this party was to celebrate I felt a hand on my shoulder "Hello son," My Father said, my Father smiled at me the room suddenly seemed much smaller now Father was in the room, but I clasp the man's hand never less with my free hand, I notice Fathers eyes were on Zarbon he held my hand so tight, I hoped my hand didn't turn a foreign colour. "How are you, I trust you are keeping well?" I smile I noticed my Fathers eyes were only on Zarbie. I stroke Zarb's hair,

"I am very well thankyou Father, what do you think of" my Fathers eye look up, I decide to play his emotions... or lack of, "the latest business. Father nodded,

"Yes very good Freiza" he said softly, "oh" he said fake as all hell as though he had only seen Zarb for the first time, "how could I of not seen you?" I do not roll my eyes, it took skill "and who my son is this young man?" I smile and attempt to realise my hand from Zarb's grip, when I finally do I put them on Zarbs warm shoulder.

"This is Zarbon. Zarbon say hello," I say, Zarbon bowed, he looked nervous, but I smile and I pat his head again he said terrified. He knew this man is my Father, he knew he controlled the empire that controls my business, he knew that we sold planets to other people (he knew this and there was no use lying to him because it is how I got him.)

"Hello sir," he said scared. I smile and I watch my father,

"How much does he speak," I smile, I see many people, all races and I see my brother he must of just entered he has gone past my expectations, he had TWO girls with him, one on each shoulder, both girls were wearing new dressed and diamonds.. I have seen the diamonds many times before on many of his girls. I see Captain Ginyu with his force of Burter Recoome and Guldo, they all nearly drool at Coolers girls,

"Not a lot but by the time his 14 he will speak better than me." Father laughed, and saw Coolers 'girls' his face dropped he noticed the scared look on girl on the left, I personally don't blame her.

"Great I have to put up with two depressed girls" Father muttered, I smile and gently say,
"Well at least he will have extra company, Zarbon pulled at me hand, he showed me his little translator 'why does that man have two girlfriends' I gulp, great thanks Cooler now I have to explain the 'birds and the bees' or maybe I don't. I get my translator seeing Father's eyes I show him Zarbons words. He gulped and I said typed,

'The man is my brother, his name is Cooler, Cooler is very different than most people' the boy read over the translator and nodded. Father looked at Zarbon again, I knew he was surveying him,

"So" he said, looking at Zarb "What planet is he from?" it was a general question, I roll my eyes,

"Some tiny planet very watery I believe it's called vivants or something like that" I say Zarbon noticed his planets name and he smiled. I wanted the boy to be comfortable in this new... and rather awkward surrounding I noticed Dodoria was talking to the doctor (more than likely about Zarbon,) I pat Zarbon on the shoulder I stroked his hair,

"What's the kid's language?" Father asked. I blink, and I noticed Zarbon was on his tip toes, I grab his hand.

"Celic," I state, I tried to forget he was looking around noticing Zarbon was getting restless, "ZARBON" I bark, and he at once stopped moving. Father looked at him, he held my waist, and I glare at the child but the puppy dog look got him out of it, I knew he wasn't being naughty he was probably looking for someone to play with. I touched his shoulder.

"So" Father said, "Please tell me you are sending him to a boarding school when he learns our words," I roll my eyes. Than Father noticed my face, and laughed "I guess he will be around when he is 18," I glare,

"Try 21," I demand, Father laughed, a servant offered me a glass of wine, I took one ado so did Father, Zarbon went to get one, I slapped his hand away, "Like hell," I mutter, I look at the servant "got any Coke for the kid?" the servant nodded he went away and came back with a red can, as Zarbon sipped it, his collar shinned,

"It's very pretty." Father said indicating the collar, it gleamed around his neck, I heard my Mother, I smile at her, as I saw the woman's first impression... 'What the hell' I stroked the boys hair, Mothers eyes were going into Zarbons collar

"Mother this is Zarbon, Zarbon smile" the boy bowed, Mother… My Mother was beautiful, as a changeling is very beautiful, Father held my Mother's hand, Mother provided her opinion on Zarb.

"Hello Zarbon" she said, Zarbon smiled. "Well he is very pretty," she patted his hair, Zarbon looked at me and I smile 'it will be ok'

"Thank you Mother, he is cute" I agree, she looked at his suit and collar.

"I see he has some new additions, he looks very happy." I smile Father looked at his watch he tapped his wine glass,

"Everyone thank you for coming, lets go and have dinner," I noticed there were about 100 people no wonder the room was cramped everyone started to move, I sat next to Zarb and next to Cooler (his 'girls' were sitting on the other side of the table next to Mother. Feel sorry for her actually.)

The first course came out in a matter of seconds, which was good because I think Mother was ready for a lecture, it was a simple soup, I told the cook about Zarb not eating meat so hopefully he remembered, he should or making vegetarian meals noon stop for two weeks will be an rather odd request. Zarb smiled a little I smiled back; the child was good he ate his soup, some people chatted, I did small talk, and the doctor told Zarbon to drink his milk, he was looking at my wine, I take it slowly away, I know Belo gave the child grog before, but the kid has a better chance of being allowed to run wild than get grog with me,

Zarbon was very good, I spoke often to my family Cooler recommended I get a contract for Zarb I had to agree but I couldn't have to kid thinking that he is only around to serve me, "Freiza" Father said I look up, it was now the third course Zarbon was (very slowly) eating his vegetarian lasagne while I ate my steak "will Zarbon be joining us for drinks after dinner?" I look at my watch it was already 9.00 Pm where did the time go? I shake my head, the doctor translated,

"Yes," the cheeky one said, I shake my head.

"No, Milk." I say pointing to his glass, I get a cheeky boy who poked his tongue out, Mother looked at me,

"He is feeling confident enough to be cheeky he is doing well." I nod I know,

As the meal was finished we were all sitting on the couch Zarbon was fast asleep on my lap… well almost, it was 11.07PM I picked him up, "His sure cute," Cooler said, he had one girl sitting on his knee and another sitting on his arm chair, I smile
"I know thank you," as I walk (carrying Zarb with me ) to our apartment the nursing little Zarbon he woke up,

"Me good?" I smile I nod, he than yawned a little and went back to sleep nuzzling his head on my shoulder,

He was sure cute

So how did I go? Feedback is appreciative
