The prince quietly chuckled to himself, as the smoke began to clear, and he started to make his way further into the room.
Right then a narrow ki beam, burst out of the smoke and raced straight toward his heart, but the 1^st class saiyan had sensed it coming and batted it away.
Again the voice was heard, "FUCK OFF"!!!!!!
"Not fast enough hairball"!!!!, the young warrior yelled as he stepped through the remaining cloud of coloured smoke.
Vegeta smirked at the other saiyan, as he came into view. With wild hair down to his knees and a ferocious scowl on his face.
The glass crunched under his heavy royal boots, as he stopped a few feet away from the other.
"Temper, temper, shame on you Radditz. You should know better than to blast poor little defenceless slaves. Vegeta teased.
This caused the older saiyan, to chuckle, it was such a deep sound, it could've been mistaken for a growl. "HA you can talk," The other warrior shot back. "So why are you bothering me today?". Radditz started to sift through the rubble until he found a chair. Vegeta just plonked himself on a large chunk of ceiling, which was now mostly covering the floor.
"That damn dream....", the prince started, but was cut off by Radditz groaning. "Oh crap, not this again, look your highness-ness, I gotta go to a meeting in ten minutes, and im not really in the mood to hear about your fucked up dreams!!
Vegeta was a little taken back, by the outburst, but quickly regained his composure.
"How dare you talk to me like that!!!, you're the scientist so come up with a cure if you don't wanna hear about it!! He yelled.
Radditz looked a little exasperated, "it's not like I can just cure you in a split second y'know, it's not that easy!" He yelled back.
The two saiyans glared at each other, their tails lashing around in anger.
Vegeta sighed and calmed a little, but still held the others gaze with his own dark eyes.
When he spoke his voice was low, "I haven't slept properly in so long!"
The older saiyan's gaze then softened a little. "Vegeta look, you've been through a lot. I mean kidnapped by freeza at 7 years old!!, being tortured every day, that's enough to give anyone nightmares!!.
Radditz looked the young saiyan straight in the eyes. "But look, we got him didn't we?".
Vegeta remembered it like it was yesterday. He was sitting in the bowels of freeza's personal ship, when, along with his father, millions of saiyans attacked the ship. He was rescued before the ship was destroyed, and freeza was killed.
"HELLLO??, wake up vegeta!!??,, come in vegeta??.
The prince snapped back to reality, in time to hear, the radditz's voice dripping with sarcasm!
"Watch it", vegeta snapped., then continued to talk. "y'know, I never saw freeza's dead body....nobody did, how can I be sure he was killed?
The two were silent for a moment, then Radditz laughed. "Is that what's bothering you?, come off it vegeta, nobody could've survived that blast!!" Vegeta didn't answer and seemed to be lost in thought.
Some time in the afternoon, there were two soft knocks at bulma's bedroom door.
"Sweetheart, I know you feel bad, but please, you have to try and eat something"
A muffled voice came from somewhere under the covers.
"Im not hungry, leave me alone!"
"Please honey, we're worried about you"
"just go"
Mrs briefs hated to see her daughter sad, but she felt, that she should leave her to work things out, by herself.
"How is she?" asked Dr briefs as soon as his wife returned to the kitchen.
"She still refuses to eat, and she won't talk to me."
"I've a good mind to go and have a few words with Yamcha" The scientist growled.
"No dear, they're just kids, they're bound to have arguments. We have to let them sort it out by themselves." She explained.
Dr briefs gave his wife a questioning look.
Mrs briefs returned his stare, as she picked up her mug of coffee.
"Or they'll never learn" she said softly.
"Well I got a meeting to go to, see ya around". The prince raised his head, "yeah me too"
" Radditz started to leave, "well I gotta tell ya, you're gonna be no help to anyone in that mood, so snap out of it!", in the blink of an eye, he had sent a small ki blast towards the prince.
Vegeta, still deep in thought, had no time to react, and it knocked him off his seat, and sent him skidding across the floor.
Radditz, couldn't stop laughing. " Why you"!! Vegeta growled as he, leapt off the ground and launched himself at radditz, all in the same movement.
The other saiyan was in battle stance and ready for a fight.
"HEY"!!!!!, a new voice screamed. Both fighters stopped and turned, vegeta in mid air.
"What the hell do you think your doing???, the king is expecting you both in three minutes!!!
"aww cool it Nappa", Radditz said, and both warriors sniggered. Nappa looked like he was about to explode with rage!!.
"You won't be laughing if you're late!!!.Vegeta you're seventeen years old, act like it, and radditz you're a year older. I think your little brother could set a better example!!!
"Rememeber who you're talking to Nappa", vegeta hissed".
"You maybe the prince, but I am your guard, and have permission to beat the crap outta you if you step out of line..understand?", Nappa bellowed, then left.
The two younger saiyans then made their way to the large meeting hall. Radditz broke the silence. "Vegeta are you really that worried about freeza?. Vegeta hesitated for a moment.
Secretly, he felt like he could trust Radditz, although he'd never admit it.
"what if I am?...don't go telling everyone got it?, and no blabbing to kakarrott either"
"OK OK, take it easy veggie" Radditz grinned. Vegeta scowled
"Radditz , when I am king, I'll have you executed if you call me that". "Sorry VEGGIE!"
"Can it, hairball, we're here", he snarled back, as he pushed open the heavy door, and they walked into the meeting hall together.
Right then a narrow ki beam, burst out of the smoke and raced straight toward his heart, but the 1^st class saiyan had sensed it coming and batted it away.
