"Concentrate, Kakarot! Concentrate! Come on! Do you want to fly or not?!"
"I'm trying! I'm trying! And stop calling me Kakarot! I'm Goku!"
"Go-kaka- who cares?! JUST CONCENTRATE!"
* * *
"Come on! Can't you move any faster?! Honestly! How do you expect to hit Frieza if you can't hit me?"
"I'm doing the best I can here!"
"Then do bet-... ow..."
"Whoops. Sorry about that, Vegeta."
* * *
"Okay. Let's see you little attack thing."
"Okay. Ka...me...ha...me..."
"Kakarot!"
"Huh?"
"...Well?"
"Well what?"
"Your attack?"
"Oh yeah. Sorry. You distracted me."
"Well distractions can happen. LEARN TO DEAL WITH THEM!"

Goku and Vegeta had been training for several days. Obviously not enough progress had been made in that short period of time.
"You feel that, Kakarot?" Vegeta asked. Goku shook his head. Vegeta turned him around and pointed at a small dot in the sky. "It's Frieza. He's coming."
Goku stared at the dot that was getting larger and larger.
"We'd better let the others know." Vegeta said, sounding overly calm. "They're not going to have enough time to get out of here. I told them they should have left." Vegeta entered the house, leaving Goku to gape at the approaching pod.
Vegeta informed the others that Frieza was almost there and that they were to stay in the house until Frieza was dead and if that was the rest of their lives, then so be it.
When Krillin and Yamcha protested, saying that they wanted to help, Vegeta said "If anyone steps out of this house during the course of the battle, I will personally kill them, if only to spare them the slow and painful death Frieza would put them through." That settled, he returned outside to join Goku.
The two Saiyans watched solemnly as Frieza's space pod touched down in the sand and the tyrant stepped out.
"Kakarot. Prince Vegeta." Frieza said. "I'm glad you're here. Where is Nappa?"
"I don't know." lied Vegeta, knowing perfectly well that Nappa was now fertilizing a Mexican forest. "He's not here, that's for sure."
"Why is his pod here?"
"I took it."
"Why did you do that?"
"So I could find Kakarot and train."
"So you've decided to join me in my conquest?"
"No." cut in Goku before Vegeta could stall anymore. "We're gonna fight you!"
A frown fell across Frieza's face, but it was soon replaced by a malignant smile. "Is that so?"
Goku nodded vigorously and got into a fighting stance.
"Prince Vegeta?"
Vegeta, knowing very well what Frieza was capable of and what he himself was not, shook slightly and a took a defensive stance.
"All right then." said Frieza, grinning wickedly and starting to form a ball of energy in the palm of his hand.
