A Prince and His Princess
Vegeta's a prince and Bulma's a third class saiyan living on Planet Vegeta. What happens when the two must join together to stop Frieza from destroying their planet? Will they succeed or will they immensely fail? A Bulma and Vegeta romance.
Author Notes:
Before I begin, I have to say that I've changed some things. Bulma is a saiyan, not human. Vegeta is a prince and King Vegeta is still alive for the time being. This story takes place when everyone is about in the range of 17 or 18. Goku is in my story as well along with Bardock. Goku is a third class saiyan as well as Bulma and for this story, I'm calling him by his real name Kakarot. Chi-Chi is a saiyan as well and will come into the story at a later time. And I'm still giving Goku Kakarot his sense of goofiness. I just couldn't write him without it! He will however, be serious at times too. And I know that Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta when Vegeta was a kid, not teenager, but I change several things in this Fic. Raditz is off on a mission to destory a planet. You know how King Vegeta sends a saiyan every once and a while to take over or destory a planet? Well that's where Raditz is, he'll come in later in the story.

Chapter 10 - Self Realization
King Vegeta pased the floors of the castle ground back and forth. Just as he was about to lose all hope, the radio in which he was holding, beeped.
The King switched it on quickly and waited for the other side to speak.
"King Vegeta, do you know who this is?" the voice was a bit rasped and didn't sound like anyone the King could recall. And better yet, this wasn't exactly the time for guessing games!
King Vegeta clutched the radio tightly and brought it to his mouth, "Whoever this is, I want you off the radio and-"
The other end gave a quick laugh and instantly the king knew that whoever was on the other end was no guard of his.
Growing impatient, the king bellowed into the reviever, "Stop laughing and tell me who you are!"
The laughing stopped and the voice came through once again, this time with a serious tone, "Open the door...sir," the voice spoke slowly, "and I'll show you who I really am."
The radio went dead with sound and King Vegeta stared at the tall castle doors that seemed to be miles away. Who had the voice been and was he really behind the doors? There was only one way to truly find out...
Slowly the King began advancing toward the tall royal doors, looking around the blank empty room first. He let out a breath and began opening the door...
Prince Vegeta flew powerfully through the air, and although he felt bolder than he had ever felt before, a feeling was still overcoming him and he couldn't tell what it was.
The feeling wasn't guilt, that was for sure. Guilt was a feeling of absence for him. It was something the prince had never encountered before and didn't plan on encountering. But yet still, there was 'that' feeling...and he couldn't shake it off.
Lost in his own thoughts, the prince continued flying through the air slowly, not taking notice when another being suddenly flew past, briefly bumping him in the process.
Abruptly, the prince stopped, looking at the saiyan who had bumped him. Instantly he recogized him as the same saiyan who had been inside his castle only a short week ago.
"You," Prince Vegeta began, looking at the saiyan coldly, "where do you think you're rushing off to?"
The saiyan stared at the prince briefly before quickly offering his appologies, "Listen, I'm sorry but-"
"But what?" The prince interrupted, staring back at the saiyan, the same cold look on his face.
There was a pause in the air until the prince spoke again.
"What's your name?" He asked.
The other saiyan let out a breath of air, wishing he could just continue on instead of hovering here answering pointless questions. "Kakarot," the saiyan answered shortly.
Prince Vegeta made a face at the name. "Kakarot?"
"Yes."
"And where are you off to?"
Kakarot scrowled a bit, recalling that the prince had just asked him the same question a short while ago. "I'm on my way to face Frieza."
"Frieza!" the prince laughed, "You really think you have what it takes to defeat Frieza?!"
"Yes," Kakarot replied, "Now if you'll excuse me-"
Prince Vegeta hovered over to the right, blocking Kakarot's way.
"Hey!" Kakarot yelled, "what are you doing?"
"I'm on my way to defeat Frieza...carrot," Prince Vegeta replied, a small smirk on his face as he watched the saiyan before him. "And if you think a third class scum like you can defeat him, you're out of your mind."
Kakarot stared at the prince in disbelief, shaking his head, "I don't know why they call you a prince. A prince is supposed to care about his people, but you...you care about no one. You're cruel and selfish!All you care about is yourself!"
And with that said, he quickly flew past the prince, taking off at a speed almost unmeasureable.
Prince Vegeta watched as the saiyan flew off past him and frowned in anger.
Who did the third class think he was talking to? A peasant? He, cruel? He, selfish? Uncaring?
But yet, as the prince slowly began flying in the opposite way that Kakarot had gone, he knew that everything that Kakarot had said had been true.
And that, tore him up inside...
