Frieza lied in bed, glaring at the ceiling. He heard a knock on his door and it opened. His eyes flicked over to see Goku walk in cautiously.

"Frieza, we're going training..." Goku said softly.

"I'm not going." he said flatly.

Goku frowned at his response, walking to the side of his bed, "But we have to get ready to fight Nektryn!"

"I don't care!" he hissed.

"But-"

"Leave!" he barked.

Goku stared then glared at the ground, "Frieza..."

"Can't you understand that I want to be alone?!" Frieza barked, his fist clenched, "I just... need some time..."

He felt his eyes burn and Goku walked away. Frieza sighed and the tears in his eyes rolled down his cheeks. He still was shocked about his empire... how Nektryn easily took it over.

It made him feel... sad.

For the first time in years... he was sad.

It surprised him as he confessed to himself in his mind. It was a strange and unwanted feeling that just invaded him entirely. He didn't want to train. He didn't want to talk to anyone. He didn't want to be near anyone. He didn't want to do anything!

He sighed and sat up, looking out the window. He saw Daifu playing with a young blonde haired girl named Marron. She was about 2 years older than him, so Frieza was slightly glad that Daifu was interacting with children his own age.

Frieza watched the 2 play tag for a while then lied down. He closed his eyes and fell asleep after a few minutes.

Goku arrived at Beerus' Planet with Vegeta to see Whis waiting. Whis smiled, but it faded as he scanned them all.

"Where's Frieza?" he asked.

"He didn't want to come today..." Goku said sadly, "I feel bad! The poor guy doesn't want to do anything!"

Whis sighed shortly and his smile returned, "Don't worry, he'll be back to normal soon."

"But what if he doesn't go back?!" Goku exclaimed, "Frieza needs to talk to us! If he doesn't it could lead to-"

"I know what I'm doing, Goku." Whis said happily, "Trust me! My plans usually work!"

"Usually?" Vegeta repeated, perking a brow.

"Just have faith in me." Whis said simply, chuckling.

Goku was silent for a moment then sighed. Whis always had a plan... and even if it went bad, he always kept calm. He did trust his trainer and felt that he knew what he was doing, but leaving Frieza alone when he needs friends was a terrible plan! He could hurt himself or worse! But Whis was acting like everything was going to be fine! In reality, they had to fight an evil emperor that had to power to turn them against each other!

"W-Whis..." Goku said nervously.

"Hm?"

"What if Nektryn just turns us all against each other?" Goku asked.

"Well, when he tried it on me, I was able to hold it off by thinking of who I cared about!" he said happily, "Like Lord Beerus! And as long as you keep thinking about people that you care about and need to live for, the others can break Nektryn's focus."

Goku nodded and scratched the back of his head, "Cause... if Frieza thinks we don't care for him, he might let Nektryn take over!"

"Sound familiar, Vegeta?" Whis teased.

Vegeta growled and rolled his eyes, "Whatever."

Whis chuckled and sighed, "I want to tell you two something."

"What is it?" Goku asked.

"I want you both to regain your tails." he said with a smile, "It gave power and if you toughen them up, it won't be a weakness!"

Goku nodded, "Sure thing!"

"Why do we need it though?" Vegeta growled.

"It gives you a power boost." Whis said simply.

Goku smiled and scratched the back of his head nervously, "B-But how are we gonna get them back?"

"There is a pressure point on the back." Whis said as he went behind Goku.

Goku went wide eyed and Whis jabbed his scepter into Goku's lower back. Goku yelped in pain and staggered forward.

"OW! That really hurt!" he whined.

"Yes, but look." Whis said as he pointed.

Goku looked behind him and went wide eyed to see a tail. It was fluffed up slightly out of surprise, but he could control it perfectly!

"My... My tail..." he said in amazement.

He made it wiggle and grinned, "MY TAIL!"

Whis chuckled and sighed, "You'll have to toughen it up."

He nodded and Whis seemed to appear behind Vegeta. Vegeta went wide eyed and Whis jabbed the scepter in his lower back. Vegeta staggered forward and a tail poked out of his backside. It ripped through his clothes and he growled angrily.

"You could have warned me!" he barked.

"Yes, but what's the fun in that?" Whis asked.

Vegeta scoffed as he rolled his eyes, grumbling under his breath. Whis laughed and smiled at them.

"First order of business, we need to toughen those tails up." he said happily.

Goku and Vegeta both seemed to shrink down, having the exact same thoughts.

This was going to be painful.

Frieza stared at the ceiling, lying on his bed. He had a blank expression, his mind completely clear. He heard a knock on his door and got up, walking over and opening it.

"Hey, Frieza!" Daifu said happily, "Mister Vegeta and Mister Goku are back!"

Frieza nodded and was about to close the door when Daifu hugged his leg. He grunted in surprise and looked down at him.

"Why are you sad?" Daifu asked with a frown.

Frieza was silent for a second then sighed, kneeling down, "Just... something was stolen away from me."

"What was it?"

Frieza glared at the ground and took a deep breath. He didn't want to tell him that he used to be an evil emperor... it might scare him...

"It was just something special to me, okay?" he said with a sigh.

Daifu nodded and hugged him. Frieza was still for a moment then returned the hug. He heard Daifu giggle and smiled slightly. Daifu let go and smiled at Frieza.

"The amusement park tomorrow might make you feel better!" he said happily.

Frieza nodded, "Maybe."

Daifu's smile widened and Frieza got up.

"Alright, get to bed, it's late." Frieza said firmly.

Daifu nodded and waved before running off. Frieza smiled slightly then walked back into his room. He felt like his spirits were slightly lifted by that kid. In fact, Frieza no longer felt of that kid as just an annoying brat like he used to. No... this kid had turned into the closest thing he could ever get to a son.
