Viper-Vegeta: Because I'm generous, and I've uploaded too many documents, I'm going to post the third chapter alread. Surprise! I hope you enjoy this one, you finally get to meet Radditz this time, but apart from that...I guess there's not exatly a lot in this chapter. Man, now I feel dumb.

Chibi-Vegeta: Well, no one's going to argue with you.

VV: Shuddap!

CV: (smirk) Idiot. Anyway, blah blah blah, neither of us own DBZ, blah blah blah. Happy? Morons...

VV: I hope this isn't too boring, please persevere with me! There's more interesting stuff in the next few chapters, please don't leave me! I had to have some kind of filler, and a spot where you could learn a little more about Goku's persona in this fic, and they can't exacty do that while they're screwing each other senseles, can they? That just ruins a good lemon! No lemons this time, though, but there is definitely a bit of the juiciness in the next one, or the one after that...heh heh heh!


Chapter 3.

Vegeta walked slowly along the fence that edged the school boundaries. He kicked a small rock ahead of him, and it bounced off someone's boot, so he looked up to apologize. He smirked instead though.

"Hey Radditz." He said.

"Vegeta, what's wrong?" The taller boy asked. He was Vegeta's adoptive brother, but they were actually closer than that, and he could sense Vegeta's uneasiness.

"I was thinking about Father's beheading earlier." Vegeta shrugged.

Radditz sighed, and he put a hand on Vegeta's shoulders, then they began to walk home together. They'd only reached the outskirts of the city when Vegeta saw a messy-haired person ahead that he recognized. Smirking, he picked up a rock, then threw it lightly at the person and it hit them right on the back of the head.

Goku yelped and spun around, rubbing his head and looking for the person who'd thrown a rock at him, then he saw Vegeta walking with someone and he smiled slightly. He found the rock and threw it back to Vegeta again, but Vegeta kicked it at him like a ball. Goku returned it again, and they continued to trade the stone between them until Vegeta caught up with Goku.

"Vegeta, you shouldn't have thrown that rock." Vegeta's companion smacked him on the back of the head playfully, and Vegeta turned and punched him in the stomach suddenly, knocking the breath out of him slightly.

"Shove it Radditz." He said. He looked at Goku apologetically though. "Are you ok? I didn't mean to hit you that hard."

"Nah, my head's got nothing in it to hurt. I'm fine." Goku joked. Vegeta laughed, then they resumed walking. "How far along here do you live?" Goku indicated the dirt road they were walking along, and Vegeta shrugged.

"Another two kilometers, I think. What about you?"

"Just one more. We're not too far out, huh."

"Right." Vegeta snorted.

"Do you want to introduce me Vegeta? Or am I to be forgotten?" Radditz asked from behind them.

"Sorry. Goku, this is Bardock's son, Radditz. Bardock is my adoptive father." Vegeta said. "Radditz, Goku's in the same class as I am at that school."

"Good to know that Vegeta's made something along the lines of a friend." Radditz commented. Vegeta kicked at him but Radditz blocked and sent him flying, then Radditz turned to Goku. "Do you fight?"

"A bit." Goku replied, raising his guard slightly. He kept an eye on Radditz, but then Vegeta attacked him from behind and Goku was hard-pressed to keep up.

"You're not bad." Radditz commented as Vegeta and Goku conducted a short spar. He broke it up before it got any more forceful though, and Goku noticed that they were near his home, a slightly shabby house that occupied a small area of a large lot of land.

"Race you to my gate?" Goku asked Vegeta, stopping. Vegeta looked where Goku pointed, then he smirked.

"Fine." He said.

Vegeta and Goku stepped to a line that Radditz quickly drew into the dirt, then they took off. Radditz smiled and walked after them.
