PREVIOUSLY...

Goku took a deep breath and spoke, "Vegeta, can we talk?" He stepped forward to get the young elite's attention.

The smaller saiyan stopped his training and turned to face him. "Fine, but make it quick." he said and crossed his arms.

Goku gave a nod. "I decided to break the betrothal agreement."

Vegeta couldn't hide his surprise, his shock. But, he hid his hurt, like he always does. "What?"

Chapter 2: Let's Start Over

"I said, I want to cancel the betrothal." Goku said sternly.

He stared at Vegeta, waiting for him to reply again. He thought this over all day and night. And he came to this decision. The decision was to end the betrothal. He wanted to see how Vegeta will react to this. And he was pretty sure Vegeta wouldn't put up a fight to stop him.

After a while, Vegeta spoke, "W-why do you want to break the betrothal, Kakkarot?" He didn't know what to say. He felt two things, and they were so different. For one, he was happy that he wouldn't be with Kakkarot over some stupid betrothal. He didn't want him to sacrifice his body just to make his father happy.

And yet, he was devastated. He loves Goku so much, and he doesn't want them to separate. He didn't want them to drift apart. He didn't want to be forgotten. Bot mostly, he didn't want to see Goku with another person. With his mate. He didn't want that at all.

"Because, Vegeta." Goku took a deep breath and continued, "I don't want you to be with me just because of this engagement that our father's wanted us to go through. I want us to be happy, even if it isn't between us."

Vegeta said nothing for a while, he was thinking everything in his head. "Can he just do this to us? Does he really want to be happy, and forget about me? If we end this betrothal, will everything that we had before be gone?" he thought in his head. His head hung down. "If this is what Kakkarot wants, I'll do it..."

"If this is what you want? It doesn't really matter to me." He continued his training, trying to ignore the prince.

Goku sais nothing, and gave a sigh. "It's over. The betrothal will be removed...but I don't want us to grow apart. At least...not more than we all ready are. I don't want us to end our slight friendship. I want to start over. I want to win his heart and see that beautiful smile that he gave me before he knew about the betrothal. I want to tell him that I love him. And I want him to tell me that he does too. I want to begin again." Goku thought to himself.

"Vegeta. I have something else I want to say, if you would just listen to me for a couple more minutes." sais the prince. Vegeta turned to him with a glare.

"Just make it quick. You're cutting into my training." he said and turned his body to face him. He crossed his arms over his chest and waited for Goku to speak. "I wonder what he could want now." he thought.

"I want to start over." he said. Again, Vegeta was shocked and confused.

"Start over? What the hell are you talking about, Kakkarot?" he said getting very frustrated.

"I mean I want us to start over." he said and then continued when he saw Vegeta's confused face. "I want us to be friends again. Just like we were before. I want to see that smile that you only gave to me a long time ago."

Goku felt himself smile as he remembered that beautiful smile that the other saiyan gave him. "I want to be best friends like we were years ago." he said.

Goku started to study Vegeta's face, seeing what he thought of the idea. He noticed the blush on the elite's face, and he smiled again to himself. He guessed that it was from embarrassment, since he never saw Vegeta blush for over two years now.

Vegeta turned away from Goku so his blush wouldn't be seen, but it was a little too late.

"Why would you want something like that? I thought you said the betrothal was over." he said with his back still turned.

"Well, that doesn't mean that we can't be friends can it? Come on, Vegeta. Just give it a chance. I still want you around. And it doesn't have to be of love or anything." he said, trying to coax him to say yes. He thought that Vegeta would be okay being friend if it didn't involve being mates or anything.

Vegeta thought about it. He didn't know how to answer something like that. He was so glad that Goku at least wanted be friends. And that meant a lot to him, even if it means that they won't be mates. Even if it means his love wouldn't ever be returned.

Before he responded, he gritted his teeth. "Fine. I guess I'll give it a try. I don't see anything wrong with that." he said trying to act like it was no big deal. But, inside he was sort of happy when he heard the prince gasp with happiness.

"Really, Vegeta?! That's great!" he said, and ran up and hugged him from behind.

This shocked Vegeta, and he couldn't stop the blush coming to his face. He twisted his body and tried to push away from Goku's strong grip. "Kakkarot! Let go!" he said as he pushed.

Goku noticed this and immediately let him putting his hands in front of him for protection. "Sorry, sorry. I'll take it slow." he said. He looked at Vegeta's face and saw that blush on his cheeks again.

"He's so cute when he's embarrassed." Goku thought to himself.

"Well?" Vegeta said, his blush finally leaving his face and he turned around.

"Well, what?" the prince asked confused.

"Well! Leave, Kakkarot! Can't you see I'm training! You're just getting in the way!" He yelled at him.

Goku took a step back as he was being yelled at. "Okay. I'm leaving. Why don't we go and hang out after you're done?" he asked.

"Hang out? With you?!" Vegeta asked, not expecting that.

"Well, yeah. Not that we're 'friends' now, I thought we could go out into one of the villages and have fun. See you in two hours for lunch!" he said, and walked away not giving Vegeta to give an answer. He knew well that if he didn't leave, Vegeta would've probably said no.

Vegeta looked at the door in shock. "Kakkarot has gone insane, asking me to 'hang out!' He's gotta be kidding me!" He turned his head and started giving punches to his imaginary sparring partner.

Again, he stopped when he came to his own realization. "Wait a minute...Isn't that a date?! Did Kakkarot just ask me out on a date?!" He folded his arms to his chest and started thinking. Did he really ask Vegeta out on a date?

"No, he didn't. Kakkarot just said that he was canceling the betrothal between the us. I guess it really is just 'hanging out.' Oh shoot! What am I gonna wear?!" Vegeta thought to himself. He looked down at his clothing and saw that it was torn up and stained with blood, it was his training clothes.

"I guess I should leave and get changed into something better." he said to himself. He grabbed a nearby towel and started to dry himself from his sweat as he left the training facility.

The prince could be found in the castle kitchen, waiting for the servants to make him food that will keep him happy until two hours from now. He was so happy and excited as he spoke to the people making his food .

"Can you believe it?! Vegeta actually said yes on going out on a date!" he yelled at them.

The four making his giant sized 'snack', started to get so confused. They were thinking, well of course he'd say yes, I'm mean you guys are betrothed. "That's fantastic, Prince Kakkarot." said one of ladies in the four.

Goku smiled at her and started thinking too. "No, wait!" Goku yelled and everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to the prince. They noticed the sad look on his face.

"I just canceled the betrothal between the two of us." he said as he as he put a finger to his chin. Everyone gasped.

"What?! You and Vegeta are over?!" said the buff, tan guy in the little group that was making Goku a strawberry cake. He was putting the frosting on the cake as he squeezed the bag to tightly and it popped in his face.

Kakkarot didn't seem to notice and continued to think. "Yeah, but I got a plan to get him back." he said smiling again.

The other woman in the group gave him smile. "Oh. But didn't you just say that you canceled the betrothal with Sir Vegeta?" she asked.

Goku looked over to her and started explaining. "Yeah, but it was because Vegeta didn't want to be betrothed."

The buff saiyan that finally got himself cleaned from the frosting, looked over at him shocked. "What?! But it looked like you guys were so happy together." he said.

Goku turned his head again and said, "Well, it looked like that, but Vegeta hated it. He's hated me ever since he found out that we were betrothed."

"But weren't you guys the best of friends ever since Sir Vegeta was born. I don't see why he wouldn't be interested in you. And to top it off, you're a prince. What else could he want?" said one of the women.

"Well, Vegeta and I don't really care that I am a prince. I don't know, ever since he found out about that, all he did was show his hate towards me." the prince said.

The other woman spoke, "I wonder what happened between the two of you then? He really seemed to be extremely fond of you when you guys were little."

Goku turned to her, "Yeah, but now he hates me, and he's certainly not afraid to show it." He hung his head down and looked at the ground, "But I loved him ever since he was born..."

They all turned from making the prince's food and looked at him. They all smiled gently at the youngest prince.

It was a quiet moment between everyone in the kitchen. Then the buff saiyan said, "So...what is this plan of yours, Prince?"

Goku looked up from where he sat and smiled, "Well, like I said, I'm taking Vegeta out on a date." Everyone gave a nod understanding that much.

"Okay, but he thinks that we're just 'hanging out' with the commoners, in that nearby village just a couple miles away." he continued as he got nods.

"But I'm going to take him out to lunch and everything and walk around. Everything will go according to plan as long as he doesn't get angry." he said. Everyone started to nod.

"I'm gonna make him fall in love with me." he gave a smile. "And I don't want a betrothal to get in the way of that. I don't want him to hate me for the rest of our lives. I want him by my side. And when the time seems right, I'm going to tell him that I love him..."

The servants started getting teary. "That's wonderful, prince." said one if them, making the prince blush in the process and scratched his head.

"I hope everything works well between you guys." said the buff man. Goku gave a nod.

Goku started to change the subject when he saw his favorite strawberry cake. His snack was finally finished in less then five muntes, and he ate in less than five. He stood up and said goodbye. When the prince left, they started speaking among themselves.

"Why doesn't Vegeta admit that he loves the prince already?" said the buff saiyan.

"I have no idea. Ever since Sir Vegeta found out about the betrothal, there lives have been going down hill!" said one ofe the woman. Everyone nodded in agreement.

The young prince, Goku, stood in front of the giant throne room doors. He finally has the courage to tell his father about his decision on canceling the betrothal. He put a hand on the right handle and took a deep breath. "Alright, here goes nothing." he said to himself. He opened the doors to see his father sitting on his throne with his hands on his arm rests. He stood a coupled feet away from the throne and bowed deeply. And when he did this, King Bardock instantly knew that something was wrong. His youngest son never did that unless it was serious.

"What is it, Kakkarot? Why so serious?" he asked.

Goku knew he had his father's complete attention. "Father, Vegeta and I are going out to the city. We'll be back by sundown." he said.

Hearing this, the king became content. He knew well that his youngest son and Vegeta didn't get along well ever since a couple years ago. "Really? Well, that's great my boy. I was afraid you guys have drifted apart since you two were just mere children. I'm glad Vegeta has finally accepted you." he said with a smile.

Goku looked a little hurt by his words, but hid by looking down at the ground. "No, father. Vegeta still hates me..." There was a silence between the two.

"What are you trying to say, Kakkarot?" the king asked.

Goku, with his head still hung down, spoke, "I want to cancel our betrothal."

This gave a tense atmosphere. Once the king processed it, he quickly stood up from his throne. "What?! Cancel the betrothal?! And why would you want to do that?!" he yelled loudly.

Goku looked up from the ground to yell at his father. "WHY?! It's because Vegeta HATES ME!" he continued when his father said nothing, "HE HATES ME AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY! BUT I'M PRETTY SURE IT HAS TO DO WITH THAT BETROTHAL!"

They stood silent, until the king spoke his mind. "No, you are not able to cancel the betrothal."

Kakkarot stared at him in shock. "What? Why not?!" he asked.

Bardock sat down on his throne and spoke saying, "Because. Neither you nor Vegeta has a say in it. This betrothal agreement is between me and Vegeta's father. You can't stop it. You will take Vegeta as your mate and that's final."

Goku gritted his teeth, and made his hands into a fist. He said nothing else, and walked out of the room.

Goku accessed the door of his room and flopped onto his king sized bed. He started thinking, what is he going to tell Vegeta? He's going to be furious when he find out that canceling the betrothal. He looked at the digital clock on the wall, it was ten minutes until he had to go pick up Vegeta. He stood up and turned to look at the giant mirror on the wall. He was wearing his clothing he got when he was on Earth. He remembered what happened when he first landed to Earth. And especially remembered the scolding he got from a three-year old Vegeta.

It was on his first trip to Earth, and he was finally heading back to Planet Son...

/Flashback/

The young, six-year old prince Kakkarot was finally heading back to Planet Son from a five month trip on Earth. It was only supposed to be less than a month trip, and he wasn't even supposed to go to Earth. He was just supposed to head to Planet Anja-us only to get a small package for his father. This was the prince's first expedition alone in his small space pod. He punched in the worng coordinates, and accidently landed on a planet called Earth.

Sadly, his tiny space pod was severly damaged during the landing while trying to punch in the true coordinates. The pod made a sharp turn, and ended up crash landing in mountains close to this country called Japan. With his scouter, he could sense many 'Earthlings' coming his way, and they were stronger than he expected from such a hostile planet. Kakkarot was surprised that this girl with blue hair welcomed him with open arms, the only catch was that they could study his behavior and so on. Kakkarot agreed on a condition that they fix his space pod.

During his stay, he started to get along with many of the blue haired girl, Bulma's, friends. He learned a lot about the planet and it's culture during his stay. They even gave him an Earth name, Goku. But then, got a fear a needles since he's been poked with them since day 1. After around three months, they finally got his space pod running and much larger than before. He was able to bring all sorts of item like plants, and clothing. Though, he couldn't stop getting the feeling that something was missing. Something that was back on Planet Son. His betrothed, Vegeta.

He was only twenty minutes away from landing in his home planet. He was finally getting to see Vegeta after five months. He was so excited and so nervous at the same. He knew he was going to get scolded by the three-year old, but he was okay with it since he missed him so much.

The prince finally landed on the planet's landing ports and exited his spaceship only to be greeted by the shocked faces his father, older brother, Vegeta, and the port crew. He stood in front if the door as he waited to be greeted, or if was going to be greeted. Finally, his father, the king, stepped forward.

"Kakkarot! Where have you been all this time?! I was just going to send a fleet of saiyans to start looking for you!" he yelled at him.

Goku looked up at him and smiled sheepishly saying, "Good to see you too, dad. Well...I sort of punched in the wrong coordinates and landed on this planet called Earth."

His brother, Raditz, stepped up. "Earth, huh? Well, then what happened to your space pod?" he asked as he pointed to his new spaceship.

"It was destroyed when I landed on the planet. But, some nice people helped me out, and built this for me." he continued when he got a slow nod from his eleven-year brother. "You can go in if you want. I brought some Earthen plants and clothing. They look really cool!" he stepped out of the way for them to pass by.

As they walked in, the king put a hand on his shoulder and said, "Good luck, son."

This confused the six-year old. "Huh? What are you ta-" is all he could say until he got interrupted by a really angry three-year old.

"KAKAWOT!" he yelled as he stomped his way to the youngest prince. He stood right in front of him and looked up at him. His face only reached his chest, while his hair spiked up on top of him.

Goku stepped back and looked down at his. He smiled nervously as he said, "H-hey, Vegeta."

He saw him clench his teeth and a vein popped from one of his temples. Vegeta grabbed Goku by the collar and pulled him down his height. "Why were you gone so long?!" he yelled at him.

"W-well, I sort of got lost and-" he tried to explain when he was stopped again.

"And what are you wearing?!" Vegeta yelled again, as he looked at what the prince was wearing, an orange gi with dark blue boots.

Goku started to speak again but stopped when he saw the teary eyes of his betrothed's face.

Kakkarot couldn't stop staring at him as he cried. He looked so cute that he didn't want him to stop the tears. But then did, wanting to know why he was crying. He was interrupted from his thoughts when he heard him speak.

"D-do you n-know how w-wowied I was?" he stuttered out as he tried to keep himself from crying. He looked up at Kakkarot. Looking at him in the eyes, and in response, Kakkarot pulled him into a hug.

"Shhhh...it's okay, Vegeta. I'm here now...I missed you too..." Kakkarot said. Vegeta heard this and moved his small arms to the prince's middle, while wrapping his tail around his leg and cuddled into his chest. Kakkarot felt his tail around him and smiled, he wrapped his tail around the three-year old's waist along with his arms. Kakkarot was so happy to finally have Vegeta in his arms after five long months. He heard Vegeta gently cry his sadness away.

After what seemed like a few short minutes to them, Vegeta finally stopped crying. Goku looked down and noticed that the little elite was asleep in his arms. He smiled and picked him up in a 'princess carry'. He turned to see his father and brother still on the ship. "I'm going to my room. Please don't bother me." he said. He got a nod from his father and walked away.

He entered his room and set his betrothed on his huge bed. He climbed in himself and put the blanket over them. He was so glad that it was evening, that way he can have Vegeta in his arms until morning. Vegeta still asleep, snuggled up to the prince seeking his warmth. Kakkarot happily wrapped his arms around Vegeta's middle and started to fall asleep as well.

"I love you, Vegeta..." is what he said. Even though he was so young, he knew that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with him.

"Kakkarot..." Vegeta mumbled in his sleep. Kakkarot once again smiled and then fell asleep...

/Flashback Over/

He smiles at one of his best memories. It was way before Vegeta found out about their betrothal. It was until Vegeta was thirteen until he found out. He was so furious with him. I guess he wasn't up to it. He guessed Vegeta didn't love him like he thought he did.

And then something clicked. "Wait..." he spoke to himself, "What if he thought my love for him was fake. That might explain his hatred towards me." He stayed quiet for a while.

"No...I'm probably wrong. Time to go!" he said and then exited his chambers. He said it was a hang out, but he really wants it to be a date.

He smiled to himself, "Alright! I can't wait!" His hands shit up above his head.

Okay! Sorry that this one was sort of boring. But I just made it up as I went.

I'm pretty sure the next chapter will be more exciting since Goku and Vegeta will go on a date!

I'm gonna make them really jealous. ; D
The name of the next chapter is: A Date with a Jealous Prince

Anyways, Like last time...I would like three (3) reviews and I will post the next chapter.

See ya guys next time. BYE!
