Now what?

I'll give you three guesses.

Vegeta?

We have a winner!

I'm just getting impatient with all the explosions.

Then tell him to do it somewhere else.

But then he won't come home. He'll disappear and I'll NEVER see him and. UGH.

*huff* Sentimental rubbish.

You're kinda sentimental yourself, Green Man.

Yeah, right.

What, you're telling me you wouldn't give your life for his again in a second?

That doesn't mean I'm going to start crying about my feelings and all that nonsense.

I'm not crying.

Didn't say you were.

...One day I'm going to figure out why I attract jerks.

Until then you'll just have to live with it.

Eh. He'll get off his high-horse eventually when he just has to settle for the fact Goku's better than him.

Don't let Vegeta hear you say that.

Blech. I'll never hear the end of it.

Because royalty is meant to be obeyed. Especially the son of the king.

He's not royalty here and I'm not inclined to listen to ANYONE who thinks they're better than me because 9 times out of 10 they're wrong.

He is the son of a king, a king who was nearly the most powerful ruler in the universe. That makes him royalty anywhere.

~~Though I don't know why he insists that he is the prince of the Saiyans.. With his father dead, he is the king..~~

Yeah, yeah. So the guy's got an impressive resume and a nice body, so what? I'm the heiress to one of the most prevalent companies on this "rock", and brilliant to boot and I don't see anyone putting themselves at MY feet.

~~What's he king OF? His planet and his people went poof, for the most part.~~

~~Of those of us that remain, however few we are. And, if he should choose, a new type of Saiyan. A rebuilding of what was..~~

Then perhaps you should learn how to control the power that you have. People could put themselves at your feet, and they likely would.

~~Good luck running that past Chi-Chi, I doubt she'll agree with that.~~

That's not how things work here. You don't understand. I want people to respect me because they KNOW I'm worthy of respect, not because I TELL them so.

And you don't understand what it is like to-- Nevermind. It is not my place to argue for him.

~~If you'd like, I can offer a few suggestions on how to rebuild that.. thing.. whatever it is.. to withstand more. I know how the royals train.~~

Listen. Despite everything in me that's screaming for me to get him out of my life, to trust him with nothing and forget him? I think he's got potential, and I trust him with my life. I just find it hard to respect him when he treats me like I'm less than he is.

~~...Thanks. That would be incredibly helpful. Maybe he can keep this one in one piece for longer than a week.~~

Things are... very different depending on where one sits, what one sees. You and I... see him very differently.

~~You should have seen the damage His Majesty and I could do when we sparred..~~

He's amazing. I just can't let him know it without a fight.

~~Ugh. Sometimes I wonder if my life would have been devoid of you lot and your damage if I had just not met Goku. Be careful, kay?~~

I can understand that sentiment.

Oh, I won't like be training with the prince. Only if he asks, and I doubt he will.

...Goku?

*winks* It'd go to his head. It's already too big.

~~Goku...Um. Kakarott? That's his Saiyan name, I think?~~

Not even I claim that royalty is infallible. I suppose I just had a different way than you of making that known.

~~Oh. Kakarott.. I.. haven't met him yet. I've heard the prince speak about him, though.~~

I'm very vocal when I've been wronged.

~~Goku's amazing. Probably the kindest, most compassionate person I know.~~

~~Yes, I think the prince did mention some sort of head injury when the boy was young..~~

~~So Saiyans are pretty much...not nice and compassionate people?~~

~~Saiyans are born, raised, and trained for war.~~

~~I take it you haven't met the second generation Saiyans.~~

~~I speak only on how things were. On how the prince was raised, how the generation before him was raised, the generation before that.. and so on.~~

~~I've got a baaaad feeling that having a Saiyan, born and raised, around is gonna be a challenge.~~

~~I can imagine that having two very distinct cultures in one house would always be challenging.~~

~~The human to Saiyan ratio is stacked in our favor. But to be fair, there are a couple of humans around who get on my nerves too.~~

I'm not sure you realize just how loaded that statement is given who you're talking to, Sir...

I am sure that the ~~king~~ prince deserves the respect owed his station.

Things are different here, Sir. Respect is something to be earned, not given based on titles.

It can be both.

~~Surviving under Frieza and keeping his pride in tact as well as facing Freiza in combat stand as high reasons why he should have more than earned respect.~~

Yes, but he...Look, his violent inclinations didn't exactly do him any favors. And the first impression they had didn't leave the best taste in their mouth. He...has to prove himself now.

~~I am very proud of him, but sometimes it takes more than being on the same side of battle.~~

~~Perhaps. But I will serve him faithfully for the rest of my life, just as I served his father. He is, at the very least, my prince.~~

~~And that's very admirable. I suppose I serve him, too, in my own way.~~
