Chapter 6

Vegeta took Athena to her room. There wasn't any bed, so she had to sleep on the floor. She didn't mind though, she was used to it. It was about midnight and she still couldn't sleep. She was suffering from a broken heart. 'I wish I could tell him the truth,' she thought to herself. She heard a knock at her door. "Who is it," She said.

"V...Vegeta."

She looked kind of shocked.

"Can I… can I come in for a moment," he asked.

She paused for a moment, "Yes, I guess so. I can't sleep so it's not like your bothering me."

He opened her door and walked in. He sat down on the floor beside her. "I just wanted to say sorry about earlier. Slamming you into the wall and all. It's just that I lost my sister a long time ago, and you look so much like her. She was my best friend. When she died, I had no one and I had to live with this monster," he said as he turned his head and clenched his fist.

Athena was so close to crying, but she managed to hold in her tears. One fell, but it was too dark for Vegeta to see it anyway. She reached out her hand, "How did she die?"

He looked back at her, "Freiza said that she died on the planet when it was hit by a meteor and blew up. I don't really believe him though. I mean, why would she go back without me."

She hugged him closely, "I don't know your sister, but I will try to be the best friend that you lost." She knew she shouldn't even be talking to him, but she couldn't help it.

He embraced her, "Thanks, you already remind me of my sister so much, your kind, hot-tempered some times, and you look like her." He heard people walking by the cell, "I better go, I am really not supposed to be hear."

She let go of him, "Ok, you don't wan to have to deal with Freiza"

"Thanks," he said as he got up and sneaked out of her cell. After their conversation Athena felt a little better and was able to go to sleep. 7 Hours later Vegeta came in and woke her up.

She smacked him when he tried to wake her up. She groaned, "Do you have any idea what time it is?"

"It's 7:30 and it is time for breakfast. Freiza wishes us to eat with him today to discuss you tests and if you can join us."

"7 fucking 30! He can kiss my ass if he thinks that I am going to get up that early just to eat with him," she shouted.

Vegeta laughed, "Wow, you're the first one to make me laugh since my sister died. Please get up though, he will throw you in his torture chamber if you don't."

She raised her eyebrow, "Please, I have been through worse pain than he can put me through. I have gone though so much that when we fought yesterday, I didn't feel anything."

Vegeta just looked at her, "Wow, you must have gone through a lot."

"I sure did"

She looked at him for a moment, "Well I will get up anyways just because I have a feeling he will throw you in there to if I don't show."

Vegeta nodded.

"Well then," she said as she got up, "What are we waiting for?" She took Vegeta's arm and walked out the door. Nappa and Raditz also accompanied her. There was an awkward silence, "Well if no one is going to say something then I will." She turned to Nappa and Raditz, "So how have you two been."

The two just looked at her when finally Raditz said with a sarcastic tone, "Never been better."

"Fine, I guess," Nappa said.

There was more silence. "Gosh you two aren't the talkative type."

They both shook their head.

She frowned. The she smiled and said, "Are we there yet?"

"No," said Nappa.

A few seconds later she said again, "Are we there now?"

Nappa looked at her, "No."

"How about now?"

Nappa looked at her angrily, "No."

"Now?"

Nappa shouted, "NO! WE ARE NOT THERE YET! NOW SHUT UP!"

She just looked at him, "What if I don't want to? What are you going to do?"

Nappa squinted his eyes, and then turned away from her.

They walked a few more steps, and then Athena said, "Are we there now?"

"That's it!" Nappa shouted. "Freiza can kiss my ass if he thinks that I am going to escort her all the way to his chambers," he said as he began to walk away.

Athena giggled, "Please, come back. I won't do that any more. I haven't had much fun for a long time. I couldn't help myself."

Nappa stopped. He walked back over to them and they all started walking. Athena remained silent the rest of the way. When they got there Freiza was sitting at the table waiting their arrival. There was Zarbon to his right, and Dodoria to his left.

"It's about time you got here. My patience was wearing thin," Freiza said with a snarl.

"Well we're all here now. So lets eat and get this conference thing over with so I can get back to bed. You should to, you need a hole lot of beauty sleep," she said with a little smile.

Freiza grinned, "Just sit down!"

They took their seats and were served their breakfast. Athena was eating really slowly. About a quarter through her meal she threw her fork down. "You call this food? I have eaten out of a garbage can and the food in there has tasted better!"

Freiza gave her an evil eye, "This is some of the finest food in the galaxy, what are you complaining about?"

She got up from her chair and walked toward the kitchen.

Freiza stood up, and just where do you think you are going?"

"To cook some food." She turned to Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz, "Do you guys want some too?"

They didn't reply.

She tilted her head, "Ok, don't answer me. I will just make extra incase you guys want some."

She walked in the kitchen and told all the cooks to get out. About 30 minutes later she came out with a variety of things and set them on the table. "Ok, I don't know what half this shit is, but I cooked it any. If I might say so myself it's pretty Damn good." Everyone just sat there and looked at the food. "Look I didn't cook this stuff for it to sit there and be pretty. I cooked it so you would know what real food taste like!"

No one moved.

Athena got really frustrated. "Fine!" She sat down and helped herself to 3 plates full of food. Then she grabbed every one else's plate and filled them up. She looked at Vegeta, Raditz, and Nappa, "I know you guys want to try it because you have had to eat the crap he gave you for the past… 26 years."

The 3 of them looked at each other and nodded. With that they picked up their forks and began to eat. All of their eyes widened. They hadn't tasted any thing so good since they came aboard Freiza's ship. They ended up getting 2 more plates each. Freiza finally tried some and even when back for seconds.
