Gine was sitting in her chair while reading some comics while an almost two years old Aspara was training outside and kicking the air while doing fast kicks when Bardock landed just beside Aspara

"Hey brat, how are you? Are you training already?" He asked her

Aspara stopped kicking the air and looked at her Father with an annoyed expression before replying "No Father, I'm reading my Mother's comics…" she said while looking at her Father with a deadpan look

Bardock just looked at her with HIS deadpan look before saying "You're taking too much of my personality… and not the good things…" he murmured the last bit "Well… sarcasm aside, we are invited at the palace to celebrate the Prince 2nd birthday, you were too young to remember last year so this time you can enjoy it but please don't lash out against everyone who look at you the wrong way… you DEFINITELY took in your Mother's temper about this…"

Aspara just shrugged and replied "I'll try but promise nothing, do you want me to go search for Mother?"

"…Yeah go do that" Replied a tired Bardock, hoping that his short temper Daughter wouldn't cause drama but doesn't worry that much, even if she took her Mother's temper, she is really smart and thoughtful like him so he doubt she will make herself an enemy to the ones she will passed the future years with

Aspara lightly pushed the door of the house open and entered in the kitchen where her Mother was sitting at

"Mother, Father came back home and announced that we are invited to the castle and that we are to leave shortly" Aspara said

Gine closed her comic and replied "Alright sweetie, let me just a moment to take my things" she got out of the chair and walked upstairs as Aspara nodded and walked back outside to see her Father waiting, arm crossed, so she did the same thing and said "Mother went upstairs to prepare herself"

Bardock slightly nodded and they both waited with their arm crossed and wearing their serious face as Gine arrived and chuckled with the scene of the Father-Daughter moment and cleared her throat to announced her arrival, which again the Father-Daughter duo turned around at the SAME TIME AND EVEN RAISED THEIR RIGHT EYEBROWS WITHOUT LOOKING AT EACH OTHER

…Gine just sweetdrop at this point and closed the door "So, sweetheart, are you ready to go for your first real trip to the palace? You will be a Super Elite next year, so you will have to come there many more times so it's good that you get used to it sooner so you will not be intimidated" Spoked Gine wise words full of wisdom

Aspara just nodded and let herself be picked up, she was really impatient to learn how to fly so she would not need to be picked up like a baby every time they went out… which is NOT what she is!

They then flew towards the castle where the meeting would take place and landed in the courtyard, Aspara meanwhile was flabbergasted by the height of the building, she didn't have a small house, really, but this? It's gigantic, she didn't know it would be THIS big! The royal family really is unbelievably rich to be in a castle this tall and even the scenery is breathtaking, did you see the lake? She is only able to imagine what big and delicious fish is swimming in there…

While Aspara was daydreaming about exotic fishes, they placed her on the ground and took her hand as they entered the Palace and walked calmly through the hallways in the direction of their meeting room

The hallways were decorated with portraits of ancient kings with their wife and kids on it and the last one for now was a portrait of King Vegeta and Queen Kassava with Baby Vegeta in it

They arrived at the meeting room, pushed the door and entered to see a handful of guest, surely friends of the royal family and some first class who are just there, with multiple tables deposit around the room with food on it to take

Suddenly, King Vegeta, with Queen Kassava and Vegeta, entered the room.

They were in their normal royal attire with cape and armor with King Vegeta walking forward proudly, followed by his wife with a stoic expression and finally followed by the birthday boy wearing an annoyed expression, having been disturbed from his training

King Vegeta arrived in the center of the room and started his speech "Hello everyone, thank you for coming today to my palace for my son's birthday! You are all invited to take some treats of course, and if you want to discuss with us, it's the moment, so enjoy the party!" Everyone clapped their hands and cheered as the guessed then wandered around the room, picking treats and discussing with each other

King Vegeta then saw Bardock and his family so he walked to greet them personally

"Hello Bardock, long time no see, two years I presume?" King Vegeta asked

"Affirmatif" Bardock replied with a nod

King Vegeta just nodded while humming lightly and noticed Aspara "Ah! She has your eyebrows! With more feminine features of course but I definitely see the unconsciously made frown anywhere, and she definitely looks strong, in body as well as character, congrats Bardock, if you have more and they are as or stronger than this one, I will give you my title!" Lightly laugh King Vegeta at his own joke "But seriously, I know how to recognise the special ones and your daughter is definitely one of them" Finished King Vegeta as he was eating a piece of meat that was sitting on a table nearby

"Well, for now I will concentrate on this one first and we will see in the future for more" Bardock replied

King Vegeta nodded again as Aspara and Vegeta looked at each other, sizing the other and doing a staring contest

"So, you're my rival?" Vegeta exclaimed, intrigued and slightly interest

Aspara just shrugged and replied "it seems"

Vegeta also raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms as he sized Aspara "Well… you actually look strong I admit but sorry I dont hit girls…" Finished Vegeta with a smirk

Aspara eyebrow twitched and she replied "I'm sorry but I don't choose my gender… and I don't like hitting those weaker than myself either but when you're the one on top…" Finished Aspara with a smirk of her own

Vegeta smirk disappeared and replaced by competitive frown "it's only a matter of time before I catch up and kick your butt to next week when we will battle each other at school and that I become the number one with you just behind me"

Aspara just acknowledged his response and replied "We will see… but for now I AM the strongest, so I hope that you will give me a challenge… but I still look forward to this" Her smirk widen before an honest smile appeared on her face

Vegeta's eyebrow twitched again but he made no hostile movement "Don't underestimate me, I am far from a weakling"

"Oh I know, it's why I look forward to our battles" Precise Aspara, having finished teasing Vegeta "So, how is it to live in a castle?" She asked, honestly curious

Vegeta acknowledged her response and replied "Well, it's just a big house with hundreds of rooms and more place that's all" he shrugged, unconcerned

"You're lucky, did you see the size of the lake? It's honestly gigantic! I would love to swim in there one day and eat some big fish" Aspara stated, excitement written in her eyes

Vegeta put a hand on his chin, thinking, before replying "You know what? If you are doing nothing tomorrow, you can come to the lake. I'll even show you around and let you swim only under one condition, that you fight me tomorrow just by the lake so that I can compare what are our difference in strength and fighting styles, and maybe we can learn from one another because while power is cool, skill is also important" Proposed Vegeta

"Alright, I accept your challenge with pleasure! I hope that we will have a great fight and I'm intrigued by what you can do to defeat a superior opponent…" Aspara couldn't help herself to taunt Vegeta again as he's eyebrow twitched in annoyance again

"Alright, you won, I wanted to be a gentleman but now, I won't give you any mercy and I will not hesitate to introduce you personally to the ground, and trust me, it will be intimate…" Vegeta warned, fed up by her puns

"And I wouldn't like it any other way" Aspara smirked devilishly

Vegeta just looked at her with the same annoyance, before a smirk of challenge took his place "I look forward for our battle tomorrow then"

Aspara just nodded before they said goodbye to the royal family (the Vegeta's at least because Queen Kassava was already gone), left the Palace and flew home while being felicitated for not causing chaos while she argued that she knows how to be civilized in public for god's sake!

Bardock flew while holding Aspara, the latter complaining that it was inadmissible that she didn't know how to fly yet but Bardock reminded her that she's not even 2 years old yet and that she would learn very soon

They arrived at the lake where Vegeta was waiting, arm crossed like usual

They landed and Bardock greeted the Prince, said that he will come back at 2 PM to pick her up and flew away

"Before we start, I took our special scouters to measure what power level we are at" Exclaimed Vegeta as he pressed the button on the scouter "so I am at 8.399 and you are at 11.545, you know that if I won, you will be humiliated, right?" Taunt Vegeta

"Oh but I will not lose don't worry, it's about your ego that I'm worried about if ya loose" Taunt Aspara

"So are you ready?" Challenge Vegeta, wrapping his tail around his waist

Aspara did some circles with her shoulders and replied "When you are"

Vegeta then disappeared in a flash of speed, creating an afterimage and appeared behind Aspara to grab her tail that was wagging behind her but Aspara also disappeared when Vegeta was about to grab it and appeared 5 feet away

"It's a little cowardly to attack me from behind don't you think?" She taunted while wrapping her own tail around her waist

"It was only to test if you were fast enough to evade me on your blind side, that's all" Vegeta just shrugged off the accusation and disappeared again from sight as Aspara did the same and for 1 minute we only heard the sound of them punching at each other before they reappeared with a smile of battlelust on their face

"Not bad, they don't call you a Prince for nothing, you manage to almost equal my strength and speed" She said when she suddenly ignited her ki which emitted a green aura around herself before she flew towards Vegeta like a speed bullet as his eyes widen in surprise before he raised his garde in front of his face at the last minute to barely blocked her uppercut that send him back 3 feet backwards before he was then forced to continue his defensive stance as Aspara was once again right in his face to this time kick him on the side of his face as he barely dodge again by jumping backwards and it was like this for the rest of the hour with Aspara attacking and Vegeta forced to block her constant attacks but still holding his ground, having the edge on skill by not letting her passing his guard but not having the strength and speed to overpower her punch and attack her

At the end of their match, they were equally tired, breathing heavily and their battle finishing on a draw

"Well…that was the most fun I ever had on my entire life" Aspara Exclaimed, satisfied of their battle

"…Your not even two years old" Vegeta deadpan, sitting on the ground to regain his breath as he let his tail fall to the ground

"Well yeah but that was still the most fun I ever had" Finished Aspara, her too had unwrapped her tail and letting it wagging aimlessly

"…I admit you did pretty good" Remarked Vegeta, even if she impressed him by actually not being all row power and possessing skills that almost equal him to the point where he couldn't even counter-attack, but not that he would say it out loud of course "But you still have way to go and I advise you to train your skills so you could be even more deadly and I too have to gain strength and speed to being able to attack you and not be always be on the defensive, so I hope that next year, you give it your all when your training with me so that I have the best fight and we become even more powerful because being honest, no other kids in the first class could ever match us so your will be my only competition"

"Oh I don't have any intention to give anything else but my all, and I will be the one to send you straight to the dirt next time so be careful because I don't plan that our next match finishes in a draw…" Aspara warned with a competitive smirk

Vegeta just produced a smirk on his own and replied "We will see… But now, like I promised earlier, I will show you around the castle, or would you prefer to swim a little before we go? We will have the time to do both before we have to return to the castle to eat anyway, what do you want to do first?"

"Mmh…" Aspara hummed thinking over it 'I really want to see the fishes but also everything else… what to do, what to do…' "We can swim first so that when we do the tour just before returning to the castle we will not be wet anymore" Proposed Aspara

Vegeta just shrugged, not caring in the slightest what she chose first as they went towards the lake and took off their clothes, not caring in the slightest about swimming naked (Saiyans everyone) and both jumped in the lake

"I bet I can swim faster" Boasted Aspara, confident in her words

"Oh yeah?" Challenge Vegeta, before taking off blasting underwater

"EH? WAIT! YOU CHEATED!" Aspara cried indignantly before she ignited her ki to the maximum before propulsing herself, blasting off as well and literally taking the water with her as she went which created a freaking tsunami in the process

Aspara in no time had managed to rejoin Vegeta and literally swept him out of the water as she passed by by the force of her propulsion and won the 'swimming' competition, also she kinda drowned a part of the forest in the chaos… oops

Vegeta, having regained his senses, walked over Aspara with a 'seriously?!' look and asked "Was this necessary?" by gesturing with a movement of his hand the half wet forest

Though Aspara had at least the decency to look embarrassed as she rubbed the back of her neck with a grin "Sorry?"

Vegeta's eyebrow just twitched before he sighed and said "I think it's enough swimming for a year…"

"I agree…" Added Aspara "So… the tour?"

"...Follow me" Vegeta said before walking by the wet forest to show her around

20 minutes later, they were back at the castle and Aspara was invited to eat with them

They walked to the corridors into the dinning room, King Vegeta was already sat at the head of the table and Queen Kassava on his left so she got seated in a chair beside Vegeta and waited for the servants to serve them the feast

"So, did you have a good morning you two?" Queen Kassava asked

"Yes Queen Kassava/Yes Mother" Aspara and Vegeta responded at the same time

Queen Kassava just giggled and stated "Aspara, please, you do not need to mention my title, just call me Kassava, you also are someone important, being a Super Elite and the Daughter of King Vegeta's best friend, though he will never admit it at loud" Murmured Kassava as Aspara just giggled and nodded

"Well I would have said the same thing if we didn't have the same name, me and my son…" Commented King Vegeta, his big hand scratching his chin in thought

"Yeah… you're right, it can be really confusing…" Added Kassava, realizing that her son and husband had the same name… 'OH KAMI THEY HAVE THE SAME NAME'

After a good Saiyan dinner, Aspara said goodbye to the royal family and walked out of the Palace as her Father and Mother landed beside her

"Hi sweetheart! Are you alright? Did you behave yourself?" Gine asked her Daughter, checking any eventual injury

"Yes Mother, I behaved myself and even battled Vegeta, even if it unfortunately ended up in a draw. He said that I have more raw power and speed but he on the other hand has more skill so I couldn't break his defense while he couldn't counter-attack. Moral of this, I had fun" Aspara proclaimed, satisfied

Gine smiled and Bardock nodded "You stood your ground while battling with the Prince? Good, I'm proud of you, good job" Bardock said, lightly rubbing his Daughter's spiky hair which caused Aspara to smile, gladly taking the praise from her Father before she let herself be picked up by her Mother, who didn't hesitate to give Aspara a hug in the process and they finally flew towards their house
