Solan eyed the girl behind a window. She sure needed to do some thinking. Already
sat there for 2 hours. And send Jewel to her with some food, she didn't accept
and sent her away. Then again, though he hadn't read much, he did know the prince
had written a veryvery personal letter. If she read them all at onceshe
might have some things to think about.
"Where is Vegeta?" Gokuu asked impatient. "Looked for her through
the base but couldn't find her." He complained.
"On that rock. Why?" Solan eyed the boy who hovered up and peered
through the window.
"We have to look for the dragon ball." Solan nodded. Oh yeah.
"Well we can find that on our own. She needs some private time. Do you
have a frequency for that thing?" Gokuu bit his lip before shaking his
head. Vegeta had the radar.
"What's a frequency?" Sighing he walked to Vegeta's room and took
one of the balls. Scanned it for a frequency and smirked. There it was. A very
low one.
"Lets surprise Vegeta." He suggested. Gokuu was all for it. It was so easy to motivate this kid. So enthusiastic. Sending Jewel to keep an eye on Vegeta from a distance, she might tolerate a female betterhe took off with the rest of the team. The base was told they went on a small excursion. So it wasn't a lie at all. Flying through the sky they barely saw anyone, until even the loners didn't pass by and they were on their own. Their slipstreams traced deep in the colder upper air. Gokuu was amused by it and fooled around behind them. Going around theirs and laughing giddy. Solan glanced backwards and smirked sour. Kindergarten hereRonin peered backwards too and smirked. Just like his kidthen frowned and flew straight again. His kid was dead. Solan noticed the Saiya-jins mood and silently agreed. Falling back he eyed the stiff man. Placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Come on, they died quick and with pride." Ronin nodded stiffly. Solan sighed as he thought about his own kids. He had two. One died in a messed up mission. The otherhe didn't know if he returned from his mission before Vegeta-sei was blown up. They were supposed to meet the other after his own mission was completedMeat eyed them and turned sentimental as well. Jazz slowed down and started teasing Gokuu by messing up elaborate patterns he made. Gokuu's reply was one which send Jazz hurdling into the ground. His mates laughed at the stunt as Gokuu beamed.
"Sorrydidn't mean it so hard"
"It'sokay squirt" Jazz muttered as he flopped on his rear
and shook his head to get the sand out.
"AH, got it!" Solan had landed near and presented on his fingertip the gold ball with black stars. 5 in total. "This will please the princess." He stated self assured. His mates landed around him, ogling the odd object.
"So this ball she wants?" Jazz mused. Solan nodded.
"Yes. Don't know why. But there are seven. We have now 3. Their scattered
around the universe and we have to find them." Jazz suddenly started laughing
hysterical and hiccuped against Meat.
"M" He stammered. "She wants to wish
forBALLS." He wheezed for air and eyed the not so amused group. Gokuu
glanced up with big eyes.
"Why would she?"
"He made a joke, and a lousy one" Meat explained, dropping Jazz.
"And your insulting a royal oath." Solan nodded. Walked to Jazz and
yanked up by the tail.
"Don't let it happen again brat." Tossing him up and kicked him away. "Princess wants it, she gets it. We don't ask questions." Soar Jazz got back up again. Shish. No humour.

When they returned to the base, they noticed Vegeta still parched on the stone
and still in deep contemplation. Her gaze set to infinity. The sun started setting
and she seemed to be following it's descent. Solan eyed Jewel wondering.
"Hasn't moved." She simply stated. "Easiest assignment ever."
He nudged her smirking to hush. They were within hearing range.
"Be careful what your sayingor I'll have to punish you tonight"
"Fat chance mister. I'll barricade the door and lock myself in the bathroom."
She smugly replied. His eyebrow raised.
"Interesting" She smacked him playfully. Whistling he walked
with the ball still on his fingertip, spinning it round and round in balance.
Walked over to her, careful to make enough sound to alert her. So he wasn't
sneaking up. She didn't still. He walked around her and in eyesight. Her eyes
rested on him. Then moved to the ball. Her whole demeanour changed.
"You found it?" She rose and was handed the ball.
"Yes. I thought we could save time doing so." She smirked up.
"Your thought wellLets eat and leave. I'm bored with this place."
Energetic she walked with him back to the base.
They ate in the usual Saiya-jin fashion. Loud and fast. This time the cooks had counted on their feed frenzy and prepared more then enough dishes. Vegeta fed just as rapid as the full blooded. Never knew she was this hungry!
"Hey Vegeta? Nice necklace!" She paused with a full mouth and gulped
it down as she retrieved it from it's hidden spot under her armour.
"Gift of my ancestor." She informed. Speechless the full-blooded Saiya-jins
eyed the object which reflected in the white light. The Vegeta medallionpassed
down from father to new-born prince or princessin their case, usually
to the sonalthough history mentioned one Saiya-jin queen. And what a queen
she was. Ruthless and mean. Made one wonder about this one
Unwittingly they terrified the shit our of anyone near them. And even if they had known, could care less. Only Gokuu was slightly trusted.
