Time passed...
It now had been 86 days since they had left. Kakarot was still bubbly with enthusiam and high spirits and--to Vegeta--stupidity. Nappa had grown increasingly apathetic. Iroke seemed to have grown on Raditz--they were inseparable now, to the point where one night Vegeta had to yell at them to keep it quiet.
Bardock remained as moody and introspective as ever. Vegeta decided that this would be a perfect time to get his revenge on Bardock. He'd finally developed a plan.
True, it sounded like something Trunks would do, but it would still be nice and cruel.
***
The next morning.
Kakarot woke up slowly. He turned his head to the left to check on his father.
His eyes widened. There was a large, "M"-like symbol on Bardock's forehead.
In an instant Kakarot was in the back seat.
"Vegeta!" he whispered. "Vegeta, wake up!"
"What the hell do you want?" said Vegeta, knowing exactly what he wanted.
"Bardock's been turned into a Majin!"
Silence. Then--
"Kakarot, do you know what you're saying? There can't be anymore Majins, Babidi has been dead for years."
"Well, he's got one of those big 'M's on his forehead and everything!"
"You baka. Let me go and see." Vegeta floated up to where Bardock was still sleeping. Indeed, there was a Majin-symbol on the Saiyan warrior's forehead. Of course, Vegeta knew it would be there.
The prince floated back to Kakarot. "It appears that for once you were right about something. Hm...I have a solution."
***
When Bardock awoke, he found himself bound and gagged, unable to move at all.
"Father, this is for your own good," said Kakarot, who then launched into an explanation.
The infuriated Saiyan looked around wildly. His eyes rested on Vegeta, who smiled evilly and waved a thick marker at him.
*I've learned my lesson, never piss off the Prince,* Bardock thought.
***
And thus it was that Bardock was immobile for the day. Vegeta nearly laughed himself sick at the sight of Kakarot spoon-feeding his father underneath the gag.
***
The next morning. Kakarot looked over at his father, whose restraints had been removed when he went to sleep.
The Majin symbol was gone from his forehead.
Once again, Kakarot was in the backseat in a flash.
"Vegeta! Vegeta!"
"What, Kakarot?"
"The 'M' is gone from my father!"
Silence. Then--
"Kakarot, what the hell are you talking about?"
"You know, the Majin thingy! It's gone!"
"You baka Kakarot. How could Bardock possibly be a Majin? Babidi has been dead for years now. Now shut up and go back to sleep."
As a very confused Kakarot drifted back to his seat, Vegeta grinned to himself.
