author's note:
hello again ! I apologize for the lack of updating as I did have a few personal things weigh me down, but that's not what you came for! You came for some Friku, so let's get started!

The low clouds continued to rumble. The land was still desaturated and humid. Perhaps it would rain again.
Frieza was laying in his bed for a while, picking at the bandages that Goku had bound his injuries with. He looked back at the blood on the sheets and then sighed.
He stood up and walked to the nearby river with the blanket in tow. Once he arrived, he began to rub out the purple stains and watched as the smaller minnows of the shallows drew close. Peering down at the small lifeforms with ruby eyes they seemed intrigued by him.
Frieza wiggled his finger at them and they'd scatter, but would soon return.
Frieza chuckled. "It seems like you're similar to that dumb monkey… warned away but always coming back, expecting something else to happen…."
He noticed a blackened area nearby. He walked over to the blackish water and noted the charcoal of a long time dead campfire. He looked at his blanket and smiled.
He dunked the blanket in the blackish water and rolled it over and over and over again through the black.
After a while, he rose the now gray blanket and smiled.
he moved back towards the tree line and began to fiddle with the foliage and vines.

walking back up to the water, the reflection shown a gray hooded figure, with a vine-tassel and slightly tattered sleeves. The alien's red eyes seemed to glow in the dim light of his face… but should the 'hood' remain low…he'd not be suspected.
The alien looked around and picked a few twigs and flowers, brushing them against his chest to mask his scent, should anybody be keen to alien smells… in all honesty, he didn't know what to expect.
He walked to the tent and grabbed the last of the bandages and wrapped his forearms, to hide his gems.
Frieza looked around outside and made some makeshift boots from vines and sphagnum moss to cover his shin-gems as well.
He chuckled and began to walk. To where? He wasn't sure.

Back at capsule corp, Bulma had accidentally fell asleep in her watch room, and was unaware of the alien's plans. She was awoken by a knock on the door by her young son, trunks.
"Mom! Can I go play with Goten today!?"
"SNRK!?- oh! Uh…-yawn- morning trunks… yea, sure… just be home before midnight." Bulma rubbed her eyes and stood up, heading to her lab.

Trunks cried out in joy and quickly informed Goten to meet him at the market.
Goten laughed happily and waved goodbye on his device. Goku pressed into the picture and waved hello and goodbye to trunks, while chichi could be heard scolding them to hurry up before the crowd gets all the good groceries.

Frieza, after walking for about an hour finally emerged on a bus street. It seemed that there were people of all kinds here…. But just to be safe, he'd not risk revealing his identity. He walked calmly along the sidewalk following the people to wherever they may go.
He chuckled. It certainly was a bit exciting.
He noticed stalls and stands erected with signs and tarp covers. He curiously approached this market area and was serenaded by salesmen all trying to pitch their goods to every passerby.
It almost reminded him of the galactic ball, where every race from every corner of the galaxy would bring their goods and wares to sell, trade and enjoy.
Frieza approached a stall.
"mind if I ask a question? "
"Sure, sir, I assume you're new here"
"yes… I wonder, how does one sell their goods? Must one set up a stand or can we sell items to the stalls?"
"Yes, you can sell things to the stalls, but some stalls will only accept certain things, or may not buy what you're offering at all.. "
"I see… I appreciate the information." Frieza bowed his head lightly and began to walk off.
As he walked through the marketplace he observed what goods the stalls were selling, thinking what he could possibly trade for goods. He noticed a stream running down the rocks and under a bridge. Frieza jumped off the rail and down to the hard stones. He landed roughly, but Was uninjured. He walked the rocky stream, and as he passed the tall water grasses, birds hurried out away from the predator.

Frieza watched them scurry away. He wished he had his strength back… he could sell their bodies. But for now he'd check the grasses.

Frieza smirked. Oh what luck! Three nests. With five eggs in each.

He picked up the eggs carefully and felt how warm they were. He held the final one up towards the sun. hollow. Good.
he cradles the eggs and made his way back up towards the market.
after a few minutes Frieza was able to sell the eggs and earn some coin.
Frieza began to browse his options on what he could possibly buy for himself. Frieza yelped as he felt something trip over his tail. He turned abruptly and watched the child fall over.
Frieza gripped the child's collar and kept his face from meeting the ground. The boy huffed in relief as he was brought back to his feet.
Frieza cocked his head as the boy turned and looked up with blue eyes. Frieza tensed recognizing the boy.

"sorry mister! I didn't mean to hit your tail." Trunks laughed out.
Frieza was slightly petrified. The son of Vegeta was in his grip.
he let go of trunks and remained silent.
"wow!" a voice came up behind him and he felt hands grip his tail.
" this tail is super soft." Goten appeared behind Frieza, holding his tail.
Frieza tensed and tried to move away, but was stuck between the children and the stall.
"trunks! Come feel, it's so smooth."
trunks went to Goten and rubbed his tail.
"yeah! It is"
Frieza grunted lightly.
Trunks followed his thick tail making Frieza tremble as he felt the damn kid grab the base of his tail.
"dang mister! You look strong under your cloak! " he rubbed his belly. Frieza jumped and grabbed trunks underneath his cloak and pulled him out. He stared at the boy with nervous red eyes. Trunks looked down and began laughing. Frieza looked down and saw Goten with his head poking out the cloak. Frieza rose his foot and placed it against the back of Goten's head and pushed him out of his cloak.
Goten giggled and trunks vanished out of Frieza grip and appeared between his legs and hugged his leg that was anchored on the floor. Frieza yelped and tottered. Goten laughed and jumped up to grab the base of Frieza's tail.
Frieza hissed lightly like scolding the child but trunks appeared on his chest.
"BOO!" Frieza's red eyes widened and he lost his balance, falling back onto the stone walkway.
Trunks and Goten laughed and sat of Frieza's chest and belly. Frieza breathed nervously and his tail moved back and forth nervously.

"Hey there kiddos, who do you have there?" came the familiar voice.
Frieza looked up and took note of the silhouette.
"g-Goku!" Frieza yelped.
Goku tensed and recognized his voice immediately.
"Hey, trunks, Goten, get off the poor stranger!" Goku almost demanded.
Trunks and Goten looked between themselves and shrugged. They got off Frieza and ran off to continue playing. Goku helped up Frieza and dusted off his disguise.
"Frieza, what are you doing out here?" he whispered at Frieza.
"Goku, you cannot expect me to be contained in that one spot" he whispered back.
"Frieza, but if they tore off your disguise? You'd have to deal with them… and they are deviously mischievous."

Frieza huffed and turned away.
"then what if they ended up blabbing to Vegeta? Or any of the others?"
Frieza grunted.
"please Frieza… I don't want you to end up being killed again… I don't think I could break you out of hell again."
Frieza huffed and snickered softly.
"trust me Goku, I don't plan to die or go back to hell…"
Goku stood up tall and placed a hand on Frieza's shoulder.
"please stay out of trouble."
