Hakuna matata!
What a wonderful phrase.
Hakuna matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata!

Hakuna matata?
Yeah. It's our motto!
What's a motto?
Nothing. What's a–motto with you?
Those two words will solve all your problems.
That's right. Take Pumbaa here.

Why, when he was a young warthog
When I was a young warthog
Very nice.
Thanks!

He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after every meal

I'm a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And oh, the shame (He was ashamed)
Thought of changing my name (Oh, what's in a name?)
And I got downhearted (How did you feel?)
Everytime that I…

Hey, not in front of the kids!
Oh, sorry.

Hakuna matata! What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna matata! Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata!

Hakuna matata! Hakuna matata!
Hakuna matata! Hakuna matata!
Hakuna matata! Hakuna—
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy

Hakuna matata! Hakuna matata!
Hakuna matata! Hakuna matata!
Hakuna matata! Hakuna matata!
Hakuna matata! Hakuna matata!
Yeah!

"Oh no!" King Kai cried after he checked on Planet Vegeta. For the last hundred years, he was so worried that Lord Frieza might have held the Saiyans as his hostage. It seemed that the universe's nightmare succeeded into taking over the Vegeta Kingdom.

"What is it?" a flying cricket asked while hovering around King Kai.

"Gregory! Frieza took over Planet Vegeta, and… sooner or later, he will rule the universe!" King Kai said in panicked tone. "It's over…! The Saiyan King… and even the Prince are dead! What do we do? I have to warn all the gods of the planets about his terrors!"

"If you knew this would happen, then why didn't you warn them sooner?" Gregory crossed his arms.

"Who Frieza fears the most is the King of Saiyans, which is supposed to be the most powerful in the universe. He is worried that the Saiyan King may become a Super Saiyan someday… and… he succeeded eliminating them! The King is the only one who can make sure that Frieza does not go over the line."

"Oo-ee-oo?" Bubbles jumped onto Gregory, who could not hold his weight at all.

~ROAR~

"Ow, ow!" Vegeta groaned. He was in so much pain that his entire body could barely move. After a few minutes, he finally pressed a button that opened the space pod.

He was struggling to get out of the space pod for a while. He was trying to remember how he ended up here. The last time he remembered was that it was a very bumpy ride when the space pod entered this tiny blue planet's atmosphere… and he did not remember afterward.

Loud growls came from his stomach. He collapsed to his knees, grabbing his hungry stomach. It was a really long trip, and he was not even sure about today's date. It must be a few months or something.

"Food," He mumbled to himself, as he got up shakily. He removed his red cape only because suddenly, it felt so heavy.

He was not sure how long he had been walking, but he started hearing faint noises. He just followed them until they became clearer and clearer. Some of the noises were very foreign to him. Like honks.

He found something that looked to be a city. It had a lot of very tall buildings. As long as it was a city, he assumed that there would be food. As he got closer, the better he could see.

What he did not expect to witness was that there were thousands of floating vehicles running really fast on the roads. And, there were people inside the vehicles! Why did they need vehicles? They could just fly… couldn't they? Vegeta wondered if they were just being lazy or being smart enough to save their own energy.

Slowly, he began to realize that the citizens of this odd blue planet had no tails at all! He remembered the name of this planet from the space pod's computer voice. Earth, isn't it?

"So, you're alone? Where is your mama?"

Vegeta turned to three male adults smirking. He growled lightly in the threatening way. "Leave me alone or you will get hurt."

"Oh, chill out! You look hungry, boy. You can come with us if you want food."

Normally, he would have accepted it right away, but then he was on a strange planet. He had no idea what those people would do to him. He was not going to risk it anyway. "Thanks, but no thanks anyway."

Just as he turned away, he suddenly felt sharp pain shooting throughout his entire body. He collapsed to his knees, moaning in pain.

"What is this? Some kind of tail toy you are wearing?" one of the adults laughed. He was holding Vegeta's precious tail. It was really, really tight.

"Let go of my tail!"

"Oh, we are just curious, and we just want –"

Just before Vegeta lost his consciousness, he heard unfamiliar loud karate yells.

~ROAR~

Vegeta slowly opened his eyes only to find a white ceiling. He blinked a few times before he was fully awake.

"You're awake!"

Vegeta cringed at the high-pitch voice. "What the? You're way too loud!"

"Oh, sorry!" A young blue-haired woman giggled and sat on her chair. "Luckily, my friends found you a few miles away from Capsule Corp! You were out for a few hours. You were very hungry that we thought you actually had an animal in your stomach! All you need is nutrients in your body."

"He's awake?" Krillin, a short bald man, exclaimed, as he entered the clinic room. "I was right not to take him to the hospital. Bulma, you're really good at taking care of people!"

"Krillin, this IS the last time," Bulma rolled her blue eyes. "I only accepted your help because he's a kid."

"I'm not a kid!"

"Is that so?" Yamcha, a tall man with wild black hair, laughed heartily after entering the room. "I'm Yamcha! What's your name?"

"I'm Pri…" Vegeta stopped. He knew that he did not deserve to be even called the Saiyan Prince. "I'm Vegeta. Just call me Vegeta…"

"Vegeta, eh? Interesting name! Where are you from?" Yamcha asked cheerfully.

Vegeta shrugged his shoulders.

"C'mon! You can tell us!" Krillin smiled brightly.

"I don't want to talk about it," Vegeta mumbled.

"Well, then. That's fine with us," Yamcha shrugged and turned to Krillin. "Remember Hakuna Matata?"

"Hakuna Matata?" Vegeta raised an eyebrow.

"Oh no, not that motto again!" Bulma rolled her eyes again. "You can't be serious. You've been watching Lion King too much!"

"But, that motto is such catchy!" Yamcha crossed his arms, almost pouting at her.

Bulma sighed at their silliness. "Why do I even bother dating you, Yamcha?"

"But, Bulma! Hakuna matata means no worries for the rest of your days! We don't need to worry about our pasts and just move onto the bright future!" Krillin tried to explain. "Vegeta, if anything bothers you for some reason, then just forget it. You don't need to carry such heavy burden! You're a child, after all!"

Vegeta scowled deeply at him. "Whatever. I'm not a child! I'm leaving! …Stupid motto!"

"No, you're not leaving," Bulma said. "You're not recovered yet. Now that you're awake, you need to tell me your parents' phone number. Then, they can come and pick you up."

Vegeta crossed his arms. "I don't have parents anymore. No relatives either. Can I go now?"

"Oh no! That's why you are not happy!" Bulma gasped lightly. "Boys were right! You just need hakuna matata! I'm sure my parents will not mind if you live here! You don't need any responsibility!"

"Told you!" Yamcha grinned widely.

For the first time in his life, Vegeta felt an annoyance crawling up on his back. Sure, Kakarot annoyed the heck out of him in once a while, but not as much as this. His face saddened when he remembered that Kakarot was dead, but it was not going to hold him back anyway. The former Saiyan Prince started taking off IV needles. "I'm out of here."

"You're leaving? You know, you gotta put the past behind you!" Krillin sighed lightly. "Oh well. Just be careful out there, will you?"

"No!" Yamcha yelled. "He's just a kid! Don't you remember he almost got kidnapped? Vegeta, come right back here!"

"No way," Vegeta snapped, still making his way to the door.

"Vegeta, wait!" Bulma cried, but the Saiyan child would not listen to her anyway.

"I did something bad," Yamcha said, successfully stopping Vegeta. "I used to be a thief because I was abandoned by my own family. Then one day, I found a wonderful cat. I named her Puar… you must meet her soon! Anyway, we barely survived by just stealing food and clothes. But then, one night, I decided to rob this place… Bulma's house. Then, I fell in love with this beautiful woman!"

"No, you didn't. You got beaten up by Bulma… with a baseball bat!" Krillin laughed out loud. "Hahaha!"

"Hey, Krillin! That's not funny!" Yamcha yelled angrily before calming down. "Ahem. So, yeah, since then, she welcomed me into her home. I've been doing great! I don't have to worry about going to jail."

Krillin said, "That's the point. You can never change the past, so you gotta let go of it."

"Poor child!" Bulma hugged Vegeta tightly. "No parents… No relatives! You can stay here as long as you want! Hakuna matata, yeah?"

Vegeta had no idea why he did that, but all of sudden, he was purring. And, it was really, really loud.

Everybody stopped what they were talking about or doing, and was staring at Vegeta in surprise and curiosity.

"Did you just purr?" Krillin asked amusedly.

"No!" Vegeta growled angrily and was about to claw the stupid woman, but she let him go quickly. "No, I didn't!"

"Heheh! That's adorable! You must be from a different planet!" Yamcha snickered.

Since the stupid Earthlings wanted him to stay, then well, why the hell not? Vegeta turned to Bulma. "Food. I want food."

"Alright! I will have the chef to cook something for you! What do you want to eat?"

"Meat… lots of meat," Vegeta looked away from the 16-year-old female teenager. He still had a faint blush on his face cheek.

~ROAR~

"More."

"What, again?" Bulma groaned. "This is your fifth plate! You're really making the chef really tired!"

"He must have a big appetite! And an… odd tail too," Krillin laughed lightly. "Have you always eaten like that?"

"Yes," Vegeta answered right away, making the weird people to drop their jaws to the floor.

"Miss Briefs?" a blonde-haired maid asked nervously after coming into the dining room. "The chef fainted due to the overwork."

"Get another chef!" Bulma snapped at her. "Wait, get two chefs! We'll be feeding him like a dinosaur!"

"Vegeta, when you're done with eating, I want to introduce you to some of our friends!" Yamcha exclaimed. "You remind me of Piccolo… you're like a mini Piccolo! Without green skin and pointy ears though."

Krillin laughed so hard that he actually shed tears. "Ya-haha! Ya-Yamcha… oh god! Hahaha!"

Vegeta raised an eyebrow at them. "Who is Piccolo?"
