A new month has begun and this is what I will start it with! Whoohoo! It's going to be a productive month! I hope, lol. At least half as productive as the last one! Eleven chapters for a month... That's really a strange statistic for someone like me, y'know. LoL. But I don't want to waste your time with my mindless babble any further, so... IKUSO! ('Let's go' if I got it right...)

Inevitability
Chapter Twelve: Holiday
As usual, the royal Earth Palace was really lively from the very morning. Everyone was rushing around, preparing themselves for their daily activities.
The heiress to the regals was no exception as well. The only difference today was the fact she had some special plans...
The princess' mid-high heels hit the tiled covering of the staircase creating a characteristic sound as when someone's in a rush. And in a rush the princess indeed was. She ran to her parents' private chambers only to be told they were already in the dining room for breakfast.
"Mom! Dad!" She chirped as she burst through the huge wooden doors that the whole Palace was supplied with. One has the feeling of deja vu wherever one goes, seeing all those alike doors... "I've decided on having a trip in the country!" Bulma stated happily and lifted her chin up after saying so. Her mother blinked a few times, as did her father.
"Dear... Why such a sudden rush in going outside the castle?" The Queen asked as she set her fork down to stare questioningly at her daughter. Honestly, something had happened to this girl the night before. It must have. Why would she be so happy otherwise? After that fight she had with her father...
"Well, I just want to see how the kingdom looks like. I haven't been out for what seems like ages!"
"It is ages, dear." Her father interfered. Bulma arched an eyebrow in thought before shaking the topic off.
"Never mind that. What I'm saying is that it should be fun to go around here. I haven't had a fine walk for an eternity." She called and clasped her hands together sitting across her mother and father on the table, grabbing a fork by the plate that she supposed was hers.
"Such a trip would require special escort. You can't just skip around like this, darling. You are an important character to the kingdom and someone might want to use you as their shield for evil doings." The lavender haired girl's raised hand stopped the blonde from continuing to worry further.
"Mom, I don't need you telling me that. You sound like we have rivals. Relax, this is our world, after all. Everything happens as we want it to! And don't mention it, I'll have my very special escort." She grinned secretly. "So, anyway, where's Vegeta? Haven't seen him all day."
"The boy had been called by the eastern army. It seems there was another riot." Bulma frowned. This could never be good. And what the hell was it with all those 'riots' and stuff. They never before had experienced such a thing. Why all of a sudden, those almost ten years ago, they began?! For what reason exactly? No one seemed to know actually. And the peasants that started it never got caught. She wondered why she had the feeling that something fishy was happening around the kingdom...

The bloodied body slumped limp against the rock hard ground. The dark man crawled towards what he would consider salvation, covered in his own crimson colored liquid as the person above him created a little ki-blast and charged it at the lying man's form, splashing the being to shreds.
The flame-haired man blinked expressionlessly at the dead man on the ground before his feet. These people were so useless. Instead of doing what they should, working hard for their lives, they were trying to oppose King Briefs. Or so was told. But the king had done nothing to create an uproar among the peasants. It was all just so irrational. But he had to do his job and that job was certainly not analyzing situations. At least not 'political' ones.
Before he knew it, the rocks around Vegeta had began losing weight and lifted off the ground. The youth blinked a few times around the circle that was created around him. What the....
"DIE!!!" The circle exploded below the Saiya-jin's feet, creating some sort of a barrier around him, caging the Prince as a rat. Not to mention that the 'cage' begot strong electricity field in it.
The other man behind the released Prince chuckled coldly, gaining the Saiya-jin's attention. When the onyx orbs were located on the stranger, Vegeta had the feeling that he had seen this man somewhere before. He just couldn't remember quite. And the attack. It was also usual for him. Yet the name he could never remember.
"You damn old fool..." The younger male hissed out as he took a grip on his shoulder that was mostly damaged. How on Earth it happened it would stay an enigma to him.
"How does it feel to be a fried monkey?" The idiot laughed at his own poor attempt for a joke. But the words were enough to make the youth recall who this was. Or at least, where he had seen him.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" He snapped despite feeling the blood penetrate his glove, soaking it in crimson. "Are you sent by Frieza here?!"
"Do you honestly think I will answer your questions?" The man laughed cruelly yet again. But what Vegeta wanted was not answers. He wanted to make this motherfucker pay. And he would pay dearly for the insult towards the Prince of the Saiya-jins! The boy's raised hand went unnoticed by the fool that took his moment of superiority as a sign of weakness by the careless prince.
In an instant, the shriek of the insolent fool alarmed that the riot was set down again. Just this time Vegeta knew who was causing it... And he was going to do absolutely nothing to cease it. After all, everything he had to do was purge. That he did quite well.

"Sire..." The brunette began as she saw the young male direct his intense glare at her. She swallowed hard and continued. "The King had sent for you. He wishes to speak with you." Vegeta growled. He just got back from the 'battle field' and he had already to meet that stupid old hag. What was this world turning into?!
"What does he want from me now?" He snapped as if Ariane was guilty for him being called. The woman flinched at the sound of his raised voice and pinned her look at the ground.
"I don't know, sire." She answered truthfully. "Maybe it's because of the Princess' sudden rush." A dark eyebrow was quirked up.
"Sudden rush?" He repeated questioningly. What the hell was the woman planning now?!
"The Princess wishes to have a trip around the country and-"
"Radditz, will you shut the hell up?! I'm just fine!!! I'll be fine! I don't need you guys as my baby sitters!" An oh-too-familiar voice echoed around the corned of the hall as the lavender haired girl threw a lavender lock back from her shoulder while she was arguing with her long time friends about her leaving. Vegeta stood on his place as they all approached him.
"And besides, when Vegeta gets back, I'm sure he'll enjoy some vacation after all the hard work he had done for the empire!" Vegeta sweat dropped. He still hadn't been noticed and all of a sudden he felt like he didn't need to be noticed.
"The commander can't leave when we most need him, Bulma, you have to understand that!" Goku complained earning a sigh from the female by his side.
"Don't worry about it, Goku. And don't worry about me, I'll-" The sapphire orbs landed on the blinking rapidly Ariane and a holding his shoulder Saiya-jin Prince. She grinned. "See, as if someone sent him back. Tell father that I'll be off for some time. We'll be back on first opportunity. So, see ya!" She called as she ran past them and grabbed Vegeta by the unharmed arm, rushing together with him down the hall way, leaving their three acquaintances stunned in the middle of the hall way.

"Exactly what do you think you're doing?" The gruff voice startled her as she had not heard the sounding of it for a whole morning.
"We're going on a vacation!" She stated sternly, fixing her backpack. Bulma had changed into her scouting outfit - a pair of dirt-colored trousers so that the actual dirt wouldn't be that noticeable and a long white t-shirt. Unlikely for a Princess outfit, but she had many of those. After all, she was no ordinary princess.
"Vacation?" The male's eye twitched. "Could time alone with you be called a vacation?" Bulma glared at him when she took some sort of a gadget out of her pack. "I'd rather call it living hell." This earned him a hit over the wounded shoulder, causing a groan of pain.
"Where did you get hurt?" Bulma asked, turning her gaze to the thing in her hand as she pressed a button over it. Vegeta rubbed his shoulder.
"I was on a mission."
"I thought you said you never get hurt on missions." Bulma stated firmly as she stared somewhere forward off space. Her interlocutor growled.
"I don't. He caught me off guard." He informed as she continued checking the thing in her hand and the horizon, turning around a few times, taking a step forward, then one backward. "And what the hell are you exactly doing?!" He snapped.
"Let's go this way!" She demanded and began rushing forward to god only knows where.
"And where are we going?" He demanded back as he kept up with her pace.
"We're reviving a legend." She grinned and grabbed his hand again, running towards the village that was in sight before them.
Vegeta glared at her and then noticed the little silver-like necklace rocking against her neck as she ran. He smirked. So, she liked her gift?
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Ugh, I know, I know, that was short. But at least it was something, ne? Well, next time, I hope that I will be finally in a summer vacation! Whoohoo! Go me! And besides, I better stop here before I begin ruining the whole style of this thing. I'm kinda exhausted so I write differently. At least that's the expression I get from myself. Anyway, I'm thinking of making some minor kind of an adventure or something. But not much, don't worry. Just in the acceptable limits. -smiles- by chapter fourteen or fifteen, they'll be back in the Palace, or whatever else I come up with for the plot, LoL. So... Yeah, I thought you'd just want to know.
Oh, yeah! Thanks for your wonderful support, you guys! Thanks for everything! And don't forget to review again! -grins and waves off-
