Three years had come and gone since that reception. King Vegeta's rule has been very successful. He took the heads of all the families and shaped them into a crude legislative branch of the new government. These houses became crude representations of the governments of Japan, England, the United States and others with a Senate, and a House of Representatives.
The First Saiyan Congress was in the process of putting together a statement of government, or a Constitution.
Vegeta was in the process of changing the old monarchy to a loose republic. The people were taking to the changes like fish to water. Having a voice in Saiyan government was unheard of, even unthought of until now. Vegeta was perfectly willing to move the people to a full democracy and let the monarchy die out altogether, but something that drastic would be decades in the future. Vegeta looked at the pictures of Trunks and Bura on his dresser. They went back to Earth and are running the Capsule Corporation. Bulma is taking a nap; the Palace is pretty quiet today.
Goku and Chi-Chi were ceded some land by King Vegeta way out in the country, in an area very much like their old home on Earth. As Kakkarot, Goku enjoys a level of celebrity around his local area. It is well known that he was the one that defeated Frieza and avenged the Saiyans, although how that got out Goku doesn't know. It is rumored that Goku and Chi-Chi raised two more children over the next twenty years. Finally, Chi-Chi would have what she so desperately wanted.
Raditz, Abigail, and Jessica did move into Roota's old house. It was quite specious for a Saiyan's home. In three month's time a new addition to the family came along. The boy looked so much like Bardock, that they named him Bardock. The boy was near genius in most areas, but he had this one problem learning his personal pronouns.
Bardock and Turles moved back into Bardock's old apartment. Bardock often wondered why Turles didn't take Roota's house for himself, but never confronted his brother about it.
Goten went back to Earth and resumed running his Martial Art schools with his wife, and when his baby daughter came along, she fit right in.
Gohan and Videl returned to Earth just long enough for Gohan to retire from his professorship. Then Trunks took them back to the Planet Vegeta. They live on a parcel of land just south of where his father and mother live.
Pan returned to Earth and is enjoying the peace of the past three years. She and Bura talk occasionally on the phone.
Nappa's family moved back into the Elite Housing Zone. Nappa has taken up his former position as the King's Royal Guard, as well as all three of his sons. Nappa visits Roger and Yambia almost every week.
Roger and Mimi decided to stay on Earth even though Roger and Yambia begged them to come to the Planet Vegeta. Mimi extracted a promise from Yambia to come and visit at least once every year. Roger spent almost two months out at Goku's place learning the instant transmission so they could go back to Earth when they chose.
16 stayed with Gerald and Mimi as their permanent border. 16 made most of the furnishings in Roger and Yambia's home on Vegeta in Gerald's workshop. In fact, 16 earned a respectable living making furniture and wood engravings. One day 16 came into the house after talking with a neighbor.
"Gerald, do you think I should have a name?" the android said.
"I thought 16 was your name." Gerald answered.
"No, that is my designation. I mean a name, like humans." 16 said.
"What did you have in mind?" Gerald asked.
"Samuel. I like the name Samuel." 16 answered.
Then Samuel is shall be." Gerald said.

Kirillin and 18 built their own house on a parcel of land next to Gohan's. They lived long and healthy lives.
"So Vegeta, how're things going?" The Supreme Kai said as he appeared next to Vegeta.
"Why are you here?" Vegeta asked worried that the Supreme Kai brought news of another villain.
"Well, I'm here to tell you that Frieza's cousin Coldar has noticed that Planet Vegeta is back and full of Saiyans." The Supreme Kai said. "Coldar took over where Coola left off in the East Quadrant. Him his sister, and their father have been terrorizing the East Quadrant for some years now."
"Perhaps you wish me to send a peace envoy?" Vegeta smirked.
"That would be a start." The Supreme Kai smiled.
"They're not about to attack us." Vegeta said.
"No, they seem mostly confused." Supreme Kai said.
"You can hardly blame them I guess." Vegeta said. "It's not everyday that a planet puts itself back together."
"No I suppose not." The Supreme Kai said.
"Okay out with it then. The Icejins are hardly a strong enough threat anymore to warrant your attention. What's going on?" Vegeta said.
"Truthfully, I just used it as an excuse to come and see how things were going." The Supreme Kai admitted. "But the Icejins have enslaved better than half the eastern quadrant they have purged several planets already, and like you said, it would be no problem."
Vegeta smirked. "Very well, we will handle it, but if you will excuse me it's Friday afternoon." Vegeta said cryptically and walked towards his bedroom.

A medium sized ship glided unseen through some of the busiest shipping lanes in the eastern quadrant. The ship had been fitted by Bulma with the same stealth devices as the ES-19PX, but only about a tenth the size. No one had seemed to notice them yet.
"Ok, you guys ready?" Roger said. "I don't feel anything on the planet even approaching your ki levels."
"I know. " Jessica said.
"You remember what to do?" Roger asked.
"Sure, Vegeta taught us how to be mean and intimidating." Gerald answered as he struck a pose much like Vegeta with his arms crossed and a deep scowl across his face. Jessica did the same.
Roger chuckled. If he didn't know these kids he might be intimidated himself. "Okay, looks like you've been practicing. Ok Gerald, anytime you're ready."
Gerald stretched out his senses and took in all the ki levels on the planet below them. "This should be a piece of cake father!"
"I know son, but signal me if you run in to any trouble." Roger said. "Do you have the contacts that Bulma gave you in?"
"Yes father." Gerald said. Ok Jessica, strike the pose!" Gerald said.
"Ok! Let's go!" Jessica said.
Gerald placed two fingers on his forehead and sought out the highest ki. The next second Gerald and Jessica were gone.
Roger went to the console and tuned in the signals from the contacts Gerald was wearing and began to record. "Everything Gerald sees and hears, we will see and hear." Roger thought and relaxed back into the pilot's seat to take in the show.
Coldar was holding court. The last leaders of the rebels on Septeus had been captured and Coldar was about to announce their execution.
"….and for high crimes against the throne, I sentence you to death!" Coldar licked his lips and raised his hand to vaporize the shackled men and women. He gathered a bit of ki and let it fly.
When the explosion cleared, the rebels were all still there and there was some one standing in front of them, two some ones in fact. One looked to be a three-year-old boy, the other a ten-year-old girl. The girl had her hand out after she had blocked Coldar's ki attack. Coldar noticed the tails and his eyes narrowed.
"Saiyans!" He spat out in disgust. "Where did you come from? What are you doing here?"
"We came from the Planet Vegeta, we have been sent here on a mission ordered by King Vegeta of the Royal House Vegeta." Gerald said.
"We are here to tell you how you will survive the next year. To tell you how you may live in peace with the Saiyans." Jessica said.
"So, is this how far the Saiyan race has fallen that they send children to threaten me?" Coldar smirked.
Gerald and Jessica turned to each other and smirked. "Don't worry icejin, we can do the job."
"Oh? Well we'll see about that won't we?" Coldar said, "Guards! Shackle these pests!"
Half a dozen soldiers of various races led by a young icejins approached Gerald and Jessica with chains.
Jessica sparked into Super Saiyan and Gerald sparked into Mystic Super Saiyan. Gerald turned and broke the shackles on the condemned prisoners and used his ki to open the chamber door. "Leave, now!" Jessica ordered.
They didn't question and ran out the door as fast as they could.
Gerald and Jessica extended their ki and pinned their would be captors against the walls.
Coldar stared at them in disbelief. "Is that the legend that Frieza talked about years ago?"
"Yes, but only the first level." Jessica smirked.
"Oto! What power level are they at!" Coldar asked.
"Sire! This is impossible! The boy is at 18,000,000 and the girl is at 14,500,000!!" Said a blue being said from a nearby console.
Coldar's blood chilled to the core. "No way!" He thought. "There is no way that a couple of Saiyan brats are that strong!"
"Die!" Coldar stood and started blasting away at Gerald and Jessica.
Coldar managed to kill all his guards the younger icejins and blow away half his palace and a big chunk of the city outside, but Gerald and Jessica floated there unharmed when the smoke cleared.
"I-Impossible!" Coldar stammered.
Suddenly Gerald and Jessica disappeared and Coldar went flying like a rag doll through six walls before landing outside of the palace.
Coldar started to get up only to be shoved down violently.
"Stay down if you know what's good for you." Jessica said. Both kids were standing on Coldar's chest.
Coldar started to rise again only to get shoved deeper into the ground.
"And don't bother to transform. Even if you're capable of a forth form like Frieza, we out class you hands down." Gerald said. "Just lie there and listen. King Vegeta sent us to order you to relinquish your claim on any and all planets in this quadrant and to stop all purges immediately. Additionally, you will free all slaves and return them to their people where possible. Then you will pack up what you brought, and go back to wherever it is you came from, never to return." Jessica ordered. "Do you understand?"
Coldar was dumbstruck. He couldn't get up, no matter how hard he tried. His utmost power at level four and 100% barely cleared 6,000,000. He couldn't compete. All he could do was nod his head numbly.
To punctuate their point both kids kicked up to Super Saiyan Two.
Back inside the palace, one of the remaining two walls collapsed as Oto screamed and his console exploded.
"Y-you was holding back?" Coldar stammered.
"Just a bit." Jessica smirked.
"King Vegeta says that you have two galactic standard weeks to conclude your business and get out." Jessica said and she and Gerald floated above Coldar.
"Don't make us come back. Because if we have to come back, we're bringing our mommies and daddies." Gerald smirked.
Gerald put his hand on Jessica's shoulder and both of them disappeared leaving Coldar lying there staring at the night sky.

"What did you think King Vegeta?" Roger said after the kids reappeared laughing their butts off.
Vegeta smirked. The kids had performed far beyond his expectations. What was that the humans awarded great actors? Oh yes, an Emmy. "Tell them they did an excellent job." Vegeta said.
"I will, Thanks King Vegeta." Roger said. "What effect do you think this had?"
Vegeta sighed and thought for a moment. "I'd like to say that the Icejins will comply without a fight, but I doubt it. If they are anything like Frieza, Coola, and King Cold, they wouldn't just be driven off by a show of superior force. Okay Roger, come on home, we'll sit down with the other family heads and see if we can come up with a strategy of what to do next.
"Yes sire. Roger out." Roger's image faded from the vidscreen

Vegeta appeared on a vacant and war torn looking piece of real estate. Vegeta had this land set aside by decree for military training. In reality the only ones allowed on this 1000 square mile piece of land were Vegeta and Goku. This was their private sparing area. The deadly duo spared for almost four hours at Super Saiyan Five before taking a break. The rest of the planet had become accustomed to the regular once a week shaking, every Friday evening.
"So you sent them on a mission?" Goku asked.
"Yeah, they scared the shit out of the Icejins." Vegeta smirked. "You should have seen Coldar's face!"
Goku chuckled. "Well, I suppose it served them right."
Vegeta had long since ordered Goku not to address him as a superior during these sparing sessions. He has come to hate the everyday expressions of respect for his station that he once craved and demanded. In fact, Vegeta reflected, many of the things he once considered important has become moot. Vegeta was pleased with the way that his people were taking to the changes in government, although they haven't drawn the ultimate conclusion that the changes in that direction will eventually mean the demise of the monarchy. The Saiyan terms of Government, which mirrors the Magna Charta in numerous ways has been a huge hit with the people. Vegeta also knew that these changes had to come slowly. People often fought change, no matter how benevolent.
Vegeta also knew that if they were to survive there as "peaceful" Saiyans then they were going to have to make friends with other planets who wished to trade. That wasn't going to be easy given the Saiyan's current reputation.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Goku sat down beside where Vegeta was standing.
"Nothing much, just thinking of affairs of state." Vegeta said sitting down himself.
"You should let all of that go here Vegeta. You know it distracts you from fighting." Goku said trying to needle the King.
Vegeta almost rose to the bait, but he had other things on his mind. "Kakkarot, you live among the people. Do you hear what they think about my rule?"
"Yes, not many mind you, I live out in the boonies, but a few and from what I understand the people are very happy with you as King." Goku said.
Vegeta's face was stoic, but Goku knew that what he said pleased the King very much.
"Well Vegeta, I've got to get back to Chi-Chi. Same time next week?" Goku said
"I'll be here Kakkarot." Vegeta smirked.
Goku smiled and flew off towards his home.
Vegeta continued to sit up on the bluff and look up at the stars. The stars and constellations were vastly different than those of Earth, but equally as beautiful. Vegeta was ready for anything now. Growing old didn't seem so bad now that his people were resurrected. Vegeta introduced a new state holiday that he called Resurrection Day, which is the day that the planet was recreated. He was happy now and felt that he was leading his people in the right direction.
Vegeta lay back on the bluff still looking up at the stars. The affairs of state would wait, the icejins would wait, all Vegeta was going to do was lay here and enjoy the feeling of total peace for as long as he could.
The End
