~Planet Vegeta, Bardock and Gine's House, Age 732, May 2, 2:32 PM~
Gine was sitting in her chair while reading some fanfics while a two years old Aspara was training outside and kicking the air while doing fast kicks when Bardock landed just beside Aspara
"Hey brat, how are you? Are you training already?" He asked her
Aspara stopped kicking the air and looked at her father with an annoyed expression before replying "No father, I'm reading my mother's fanfics…" she said while looking at her father with a deadpan look
Bardock just looked at her with HIS deadpan look before saying "you're taking too much of my personality… and not the good things…" he murmured the last bit "Well… sarcasm aside, we are invited at the palace to celebrate Prince Vegeta 2nd birthday, you were too young to remember last year so this time you can enjoy it but please don't lash out against everyone who look at you the wrong way… you DEFINITELY took in your mother's temper about this…"
Aspara just shrugged and replied "I'll try but promise nothing, do you want me to go search for mother?"
"…Yeah go do that" Replied a tired Bardock, hoping that his short temper daughter wouldn't cause drama but doesn't worry that much, even if she took her mother's temper, she is really smart and thoughtful like him so he doubt she will make herself an enemy to the ones she will passed the future years with
Aspara lightly pushed the door of the house open and entered in the kitchen where her mother was sitting at
"Mother, Father came back home and announced we are invited to the castle and we are leaving shortly" Aspara said
Gine closed her book and replied "alright sweetie, let me just a moment to take my things" she got out of the chair and walked upstairs as Aspara nodded and walked back outside to see her father waiting, arm crossed, so she did the same thing and said "Mother went upstairs to prepare herself"
Bardock lightly nod and they both waited with their arm crossed and their serious face as Gine arrived and chuckled with the scene of Father-Daughter moment and cleared her throat to announced her arrival, which again the Father-Daughter duo turned around at the SAME TIME AND EVEN RAISED THEIR RIGHT EYEBROWS WITHOUT LOOKING AT OTHER
…Gine just sweetdrop at this point and closed the door and approached Aspara "So, sweetheart, are you ready to go for your first real trip to the palace? You will be a Super Elite next year, so you will have to come there many more times so it's good that you accomode yourself at it sooner so you will not be intimidated" Spoked Gine wise words full of wisdom
Aspara just nodded and let herself be picked up, she was really impatient to learn how to fly so she would not need to be picked up like a baby every time they went out… which is NOT what she is!
They then flew towards the castle where the meeting would take place and landed in the courtyard, Aspara meanwhile was flabbergasted by the height of the building, she didn't have a small house, really, but this? It's gigantic, she didn't know it would be THIS big! The royal family really is unbelievably rich to be in a castle this tall and even the scenery is breathtaking, did you see the lake? She is only able to imagine what big and delicious fish is swimming in there…
While Aspara was daydreaming about exotic fishes, they placed her on the ground and took her hand as they entered the Palace and walked calmly through the hallways in the direction of their meeting room
The hallways were decorated with portraits of ancient kings with their wife and kids on it and the last one for now was a portrait of King Vegeta and Queen Kassava with Baby Vegeta in it
They arrived at the meeting room, pushed the door and entered to see a handful of guest, surely friends of the royal family and some first class who are just there, with multiple tables deposit around the room with food on it to take
Suddenly, King Vegeta, with Queen Kassava and Vegeta, entered the room.
They were in their normal royal attire with cape and armor with King Vegeta walking forward proudly, followed by his wife with a stoic expression and finally followed by the birthday boy wearing an annoyed expression, having been disturbed from his training
King Vegeta arrived in the center of the room and started his speech "Hello Everyone, thank you for coming today to my palace for my son's birthday ! You are all invited to take some treats of course, and if you want to discuss with us, it's the moment, so enjoy the party and celebrate my son's birthday!" Everyone clap their hands and cheered as the guessed then wandered around the room, picking treats and discussing with each other
King Vegeta then saw Bardock and his family so he walked to greet them personally
"Hello Bardock, long time no see, two years i presume?" King Vegeta asked
"Affirmatif" Bardock replied with a nod
King Vegeta just nodded while humming lightly and noticed Aspara "Ah! She has your eyebrows! With more feminine features of course but i definitely see the unconsciously made frown anywhere, and she definitely looks strong, in body as well as character, congrats Bardock, if you have more and they are as or stronger than this one, i will give you my title!" Lightly laugh King Vegeta at his joke "but seriously, i know how to recognise the special ones and your daughter is definitely one of them" Finished King Vegeta as he was eating a piece of meat that was sitting on a table nearby
"Well, for now i will concentrate on this one first and we will see in the future for more" Bardock replied
King Vegeta nodded again as Aspara and Vegeta looked at each other, sizing the other
"So, you're my rival?" Vegeta exclaimed, intrigued and slightly interest
Aspara just shrugged and replied "it seems"
Vegeta also raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms as he sized Aspara "Well… you actually look strong i admit but sorry i dont hit girls…" Finished Vegeta with a smirk
Aspara eyebrow twitched and she replied "I'm sorry but i don't choose my gender… and i don't like hitting those weaker than myself either but when you're the one on top…" Finished Aspara with a smirk of her own
Vegeta smirk disappeared and replaced by competitive frown "it's only a matter of time before i catch up and kick your butt to next week when we will battle each other at school and that i become the number one with you just behind me"
Aspara just acknowledged his response and replied "We will see… but for now i AM the strongest, so i hope that you will give me a challenge… but i still look forward to this" Her smirk widen before an honest smile appeared on her face
Vegeta's eyebrow twitched again but made no hostile mouvement "don't underestimate me, i am far from a weakling"
"Oh i know, it's why i look forward to our battles" Precise Aspara, having finished teasing Vegeta "So, how is it to live in a castle?" She asked
Vegeta acknowledge her response and replied "Well, it's just a big house with hundreds of rooms and more place that's all" he shrugged unconcerned
"You're lucky, did you see the size of the lake? It's honestly gigantic! I would love to swim in there one day and eat some big fish" Aspara exclaimed
Vegeta put a hand on his chin, thinking, before replying "you know what? If you are doing nothing tomorrow, you can come to the lake. I'll even show you around and let you swim only under one condition, that you fight me tomorrow just by the lake so that i can compare what are our difference in strength and fighting styles, and maybe we can learn from one another because while power is cool, skill is also important" Proposed Vegeta
"Alright, i accept your challenge with pleasure! I hope that we will have a great fight and i'm intrigued by what you can do to defeat a superior opponent…" Aspara couldn't help herself to taunt Vegeta again as he's eyebrow twitched in annoyance
"Alright, you won, I wanted to be a gentleman but now, i won't give you any mercy and i will not hesitate to introduce you personally to the ground, and trust me, it will be intimate…" Vegeta warned, fed up by her puns
"And i wouldn't like it any other way" Aspara smirked
Vegeta just looked at her with the same annoyance, before a smirk of challenge took his place "i look forward for our battle tomorrow then"
Aspara just nodded before they said goodbye to the royal family (the Vegeta's at least because Queen Kassava was already gone), left the Palace and flew home while being felicitated for not causing avrock while she argued that she knows how to be civilized in public for god's sake…
~Planet Vegeta, Royal Castle, Age 732, May 3, 10:51 AM~
Bardock flew while holding Aspara, the latter complaining that it was inadmissible that she didn't know how to fly yet but Bardock reminded her that she's not even 2 years old yet and that she would learn soon
They arrived at the lake where Vegeta was waiting, arm crossed like usual
They landed and Bardock salued the Prince, said that he will come back in at 2 PM to pick her up and flew away
"Before we start, i took our special scouters to measure at what power level we are at" Exclaimed Vegeta as he pressed the button on the scouter "so i am at 7630 and you are at 10720, you know that if i won, you will be humiliated?" Taunt Vegeta
"Oh but i will not lose don't worry, it's about your ego that i'm worried if you loose" Taunt Aspara
"So are you ready?" Challenge Vegeta, wrapping his tail around his waist
Aspara did some circles with her shoulders and replied "when you are"
Vegeta then disappeared in a flash of speed, creating an afterimage and appeared behind Aspara to grab her tail that was wagging behind her but Aspara also disappeared when Vegeta was almost grabbing it and appeared 5 feet away
"It's a little cowardly to attack me from behind don't you think?" She taunted while wrapping her tail around her waist
"It was only to test if you were fast enough to evade me on your blind side that's all" Vegeta just shrugged the accusation and disappeared again from sight but Aspara also disappeared and for 1 minute we only heard the sound of them punching at each other before they reappeared with a smile of battlelust on their face
Aspara "Not bad, they don't call you a Prince for nothing, you manage to almost equal my strength and speed" She said when she suddenly ignited her green aura and shot at Vegeta like a speed bullet as his eyes widen in surprise before he raised his garde in front of his face to barely blocked her uppercut that send him back 3 feet backwards but was then forced to continue his defensive stance as Aspara was once again right in his face to this time kick him on his side as he barely dodge again by jumping backwards and it was like this for the rest of the hour with Aspara attacking and Vegeta forced to block her constant attacks but still holding his ground, having the edge on skill by not letting her passing his guard but not having the strength and speed to overpower her punch and not being able to attack her
At the end of their match, they were equally tired, breathing heavily and their battle finishing on a draw
"Well…that was the most fun i ever had on my entire life" Aspara Exclaimed, satisfied of their battle
"…Your not even two years old" Vegeta deadpan, sitting on the ground to regain his breath as he let his tail fall to the ground
"Well yeah but that was still the most fun i ever had" Finished Aspara, her too had unwrapped her tail and letting it wagging aimless
"…I admit you did pretty good" Remark Vegeta, even if she impressed him by actually not being all row power and possessing skills that almost equal him to the point where he couldn't even counter-attack, but not that he would say it out loud of course "but you still have way to go and i advise you to train your skills so you could be even more deadly and i too have to gain the strength to being able to attack you and not be always be on the defensive, so i hope that next year, you give it your all when your training with me so that i have the best fight and we become even more powerful because being honest, no other kids in the first class could ever match us so your will be my only competition"
"Oh i don't have any intention to give anything else but my all, and I will be the one to send you straight to the dirt next time so be careful because i don't plan that our next match finishes in a draw…" Aspara warned with a competitive smirk
Vegeta just produced a smirk on his own and replied "we will see… but now like i promised i can show you around the castle or you want to swim before we go? We will have the time to do both before we have to return to the castle to eat anyway, just what do you want to do first?"
"Mmh…" Aspara hummed thinking over it "i really want to see the fishes but also everything else… what to do, what to do…" "We can swim first so that when we do the tour just before returning to the castle we will not be wet anymore" Proposed Aspara
Vegeta just shrugged, not caring in the slightest what she choose first and they go closer in the lake and take off their clothes, not caring about swimming naked (Saiyans everyone) and jump both in the lake
"I bet i can swim faster" boasted Aspara, confidence in her words
"Oh yeah?" Challenge Vegeta, before taking off blasting underwater
"EH? WAIT! YOU CHEATED!" Aspara cried indignantly before she ignited her green aura to the MAX before propulsing herself, blasting off as well, literally taking the water with her as she goes and created a freaking tsunami
Aspara had rejoin Vegeta in no time and had literally swept him out of the water by the force of her propulsion and had won the 'swimming' competition by drowning a part of the forest in the process…oops
Vegeta, having regained his senses, walked over Aspara with a 'seriously?!' look and ask "was this necessary?" By gesturing with a mouvement of his hand the half wet forest
Aspara had at least the deciency to look embarrased and rub the back of her neck with a stupid grin "sorry?"
Vegeta's eyebrow just twitched before he sighs and said "I think it's enough swimming for the year…"
"I agree…" Added Aspara "so…the tour?"
"...follow me" Vegeta said before walking by the wet forest to show her around
20 minutes later, they were back at the castle and Aspara was invited to eat with them
They walked to the corridors into the dinning room, King Vegeta was already sat at the head of the table and Queen Kassava on his left so she got seated in a chair beside Vegeta and waited for the servants to serve them the feast
"So, did you have a good morning you two?" Asked Kassava (OMG SHE HAS A VOICE!)
"Yes Queen Kassava/Yes Mother" Aspara and Vegeta responded at the same time
Queen Kassava just giggled and stated "Aspara, please don't mention my title and just call me Kassava, you also are someone important, being a Super Elite and the daughter of King Vegeta's best friend, she will never admit it at loud Murmured Kassava as Aspara just giggled and nodded
"Well i would have said the same thing if we didn't had the same name…" Commented King Vegeta, his big hand scratching his chin in thought
"Yeah… you're right, it can be really confusing…"Added Kassava, realizing that her son and husband had the same name… "OH GOD THEY HAVE THE SAME NAME" thought Kassava, horrified
After a good Saiyan dinner, Aspara said goodbye at the royal family (or at this point her second family) and walked out of the Palace as her father and Mother landed beside her
"Hi sweetheart! Are you alright? Did you behave yourself?" Gine asked her daughter, checking any injury
"Yes mother, I behaved myself and even battled Vegeta but unfortunately, it ended up in a draw. He said i have more raw power and he has more skill so i couldn't break his defense but at least he couldn't attack me either. Moral of this, i had fun" Aspara proclaimed
Gine smiled and Bardock nodded "you stood your ground while battling with Prince Vegeta, i'm proud of you, good job" Bardock said, lightly rubbing his daughter's spiky hair
Aspara smiled, gladly taking the praise from her father and let herself be picked up by Gine, who didn't hesitate to give Aspara a hug in the process, and they picked her up and flew towards their house
