Frieza and Vegeta were flying over South City right now. A few minutes later, they landed in a place where no one was around, so they wouldn't be noticed by anyone.
"Frieza..." Vegeta said calmly.
"Hm? What is it, you monkey?" Frieza replied.
"Stop calling me a monkey!!"
"But it seems so appropriate... Since you have----" Frieza stopped talking and looked behind Vegeta. "Ahem... Since you had a tail." Frieza said smirking. "What happened? Did the monkey get scared that on a full moon he would hurt his FAMILY!?" Frieza said while laughing.
"No... It got cut off..." Vegeta replied.
"Cut off!? HA! By who!? THE VET!?"
"No. I'd rather not say......."
"Hehehe... Let me guess... Kakarot!?"
"No, not Kakarot. His.... His friend." I can't believe I just told FRIEZA that......! Vegeta thought.
"Kakarot's friend!?!? Oh... I just CAN'T believe that!!! I mean... You of all people!!!! Got you're tail cut off.... By... By an Earthling!?!?!?!?" Frieza said while laughing, now, so hard that he couldn't breathe.
"Yes... By an Earthling...." Vegeta whispered softly.
"What's that, Vegeta?"
"Ye... Yes, by an earthling."
"Tell me something, Vegeta..." Frieza said.
"What...?" Vegeta replied.
"Why did you stop being a Saiyan?"
"What!? I haven't stopped being a Saiyan! I am the Prince of all Saiyans!! I'm of the royal Saiyan blood line.........!"
"Yes, which no longer exists..."
"I believe it does..."
"Well... You're father isn't alive. And neither is you're mother. All that is left of the royal blood line... Is you."
"No, it's not just me. I have a son and a daughter."
"Oh, yes. But they are not just of the royal blood line. Because they are also the children of an Earthling!! HA!"
"So? They still have royal Saiyan blood in them..."
"And your point is?"
"My point is... They are still part of the royal Saiyan blood line! And even though my daughter doesn't know what she is yet, my son does. And he has no shame in being half Saiyan, and half Earthling!"
"Let me tell YOU something..." Frieza said.
"What's that?" Vegeta replied.
"The Saiyans were the lowest beings EVER!! They would never be stronger than I was. If it weren't for Bardok... Planet Vegeta would still be in that sky right now. But thanks to him, Planet Vegeta was destroyed. Of course, I would have blew it up sometime around."
"You were just scared that the Saiyans would surpass your own power."
"NO I WASN'T!!!! The Saiyans were just dumb little monkeys... if it weren't for me, the Saiyans---" Frieza got cut off by Vegeta.
"The Saiyans would still be alive. Which might have not been a good thing..." Vegeta said.
"And why is that?" Frieza asked.
"Because I would never have met Bulma... And I wouldn't be here right now. But, I would have been the King of the Saiyans."
"Yes. But only because I killed your father... Heh."
"Be quiet about my father."
"Aww... But doesn't that bring back memories?"
"Yes... But I don't want to see those memories..." Frieza didn't reply. All Frieza did was walk closer to Vegeta.
"Vegeta... You can become the King." Frieza said.
"What!?" Vegeta cried when he heard what Frieza said. "What do you mean I can become King?!"
"If you come back with me to my ship, we can give you that ceremony you always wanted."
"'We'?"
"Yes. Me, Dodoria, and Zarbon."
"Zarbon!? He's alive!?"
"Yes. He is. He came back with me, and so did Dodoria."
"Great... That big pink gumball is back..."
"Call him what you wish, but I must tell you... He's immortal too."
"What!? Is Zarbon immortal also?!"
"Yes."
"Well, I don't care about them at all. But I won't come back with you, and be your slave again."
"Hmmm... Are you sure about that?"
"Yes... Besides, there are no Saiyans for me to rule over. Except Kakarot."
"Heh. Then why are you even here...? There is no reason for you to be on Earth. If you're not ruling on it... Then what's the point? You were born to rule, Vegeta... And to fight. And I don't see you doing either of them on this planet." Vegeta didn't reply. "Which means... If you won't come back with me, which is the only reason I really came back, was to get you, and you're not ruling anything, then what's the point? Why ARE you here? You should just walk away... Just walk away to a place where no one is around. If you're not ruling anyone. Then why should anyone be around? There's just no point in living like you are now. You are a prince. You should live in and with royalty."
"If I went back with you... I wouldn't live in royalty... I would just be your slave again. There's no point in coming back WITH YOU."
"Just walk away, Vegeta... There's no point in staying here..."
"Stop saying that! I have a family now, and that's the point of living here. I wouldn't walk away..." Vegeta took a step back from Frieza. "I'm sure I wouldn't."
"Fine... But I'm giving you an opportunity you will never get... To be the King of all Saiyans. That is the only reason I came here. To get you."
"You said that you were here to take over this planet."
"Yes... I did. But that was only to get your attention. But, if you come back with me... You can become immortal, too." Vegeta didn't reply. All Vegeta did was walk away from Frieza. "I will be watching this planet from my ship. For your sake... Amazingly I'm doing this... I will spare this planet and leave it alone. Unless, of course, you decide you want to come back..." Vegeta still didn't reply. He just kept on walking.
About five or six hours later, Frieza was gone. But Vegeta never came back to Capsule Corporation.
"Mama?" Bulla said while she, Trunks, and Bulma were sitting at the kitchen table, looking out the broken window.
"Ye... Yes Bulla?" Bulma replied, while also crying, because she didn't know what happened to Vegeta.
"Where's Papa?" Bulma didn't answer, because she didn't know what to say.
"Dad is somewhere fighting that man we saw earlier, Bulla." Trunks said.
"Is Papa okay?" Bulla asked her brother.
"I don't know... But I hope he is..." Just then, they heard the door slam shut. They all ran from the kitchen to the hall way where the door is. And there, standing with the same look on his face as always, was Vegeta.
"Papa! You're back!" Bulla cried while running to hug her father. Vegeta didn't kneel down to pick her up. He just walked right by her. Hardly even noticing her. "Papa...?" Bulla whimpered when Vegeta walked by.
"Vegeta..." Bulma whispered as Vegeta walked by her, also. Trunks didn't say anything. He knew that something was wrong with Vegeta. But he didn't say anything.
When Vegeta got upstairs, he just fell onto his bed. He didn't know what to do. Did he want to become the King of all Saiyans, like his father was? Or did he want to stay here, with his family? Or, did he want to just walk away, like Frieza suggested. I don't know what to do... Vegeta thought. I'm so confused! Should I do this, or that!? What about becoming King? But should I trust Frieza? Okay... I have to stop playing twenty questions with my self. But... I just don't know..........................
"Otousan?" Vegeta heard. "Are you okay?" It was Trunks.
"What do you want...?" Vegeta questioned.
"I want to know if you're okay."
"What do you think...!?"
"Did Frieza hurt you?!"
"No... Well, not physically....."
"Not physically?"
"No... Do I have to repeat my self?!"
"Gah... Sorry......."
"Just leave me alone......!!" Trunks didn't say anything. He just walked out of the room, leaving Vegeta alone, on the bed, thinking.
"How is he?" Bulma asked Trunks.
"He's not to good... He's thinking right now, so don't bother him." Trunks replied.
"Well... I should know that by now."
"Yeah... But I hope he's going to be okay...
"Me too, Trunks... Me too."
