A New Problem
Author's Note: Ok, it is REALLY short but I am a little brain dead right now. I just got up at 5 in the morning (me being the grumpiest person alive at that hour) was worked to the bone all day in the blazing sun at a dressage show and then was dragged from home to see the new pokemon movie! Also my new pony Bailey came today so I'll have little energy to type but I'll try my best.

Alex: that's right! Cit, you have to learn how to read properly one of these days...
Chapter 14
"Beep, beep, beep, beep," an annoying beeping sound jolted Vegeta out of his drugged sleep.
"Huh?" he asked groggily. "Are we there?"
"Space pod has been knocked off course, heading 12328-482928, unnamed solar system, one red giant star, three planets, one gas giant two life supporting planets. Hostile activities detected."
"What!" Vegeta sat up. "What knocked us off course?"
"Random laser blast. Minor damage repairs underway. Recommend emergency landing on closest planet."
"This must be the two planets I wanted to avoid," Vegeta cursed. "Um, locate closest life supporting planet with friendly environments."
"Scanning," the computer droned. "Found. Half earth year away. Heading 12331-482932. Planet Glaive."
"Set course and continue with repairs. Er, read me a damage check."
"Set course. Shields at half energy, automatic weapons off-line, main engine lost back up at half impulse. Planet Glaive will have the necessary equipment to replace all lost and damaged items."
"Ok, shut down all non life support and automatic systems and divert power to shields."
"Affirmative. Have a nice sleep."
Smiling and chucking Vegeta drifted back to the dreamless drugged sleep.

"Approaching Planet Glaive," Vegeta snapped out of his sleep. "Descending into the atmosphere." Vegeta clung to the side of the seat as they rocketed through the outer layer of the small brown planet."
"I hate landing," Vegeta rubbed the whiplash from his neck. Rolling it from side to side he stepped out of the door. "Ok, computer, locate local life forms."
"Five feet above you." Vegeta glanced at the small fuzzy faces staring at him. This planet was intirly made out of rock so the impast crater was small. He waved a friendly greeting. "Making up translating chip for native language. Sample needed."
"Um, hi!" Vegeta waved again.
"Glurty, huteri gitur jurte hhgisu kisulo?" one round shape asked. A chip appeared next to Vegeta and he picked it up. Placing it to this head it attached and the gibberish was made clear. The round ball of fluff tried again.
"Hello, do you come in peace or war?"
"Peace!" Vegeta held up his hands. "My space pod became damaged and this was the nearest planet."
"Of course!" a tiny voice pipped up. "Let us take you to the city for drinks and refreshments!"
