[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Vegeta, once again, found himself staring at his father. He hadn't seen him in such a long time, and looking at him brought back many memories.
His father was much calmer than he was. Vegeta knew that keeping his temper in front of his father was very important, but he couldn't help but being angry at him.
He knew his father was doing his best to stay calm for him, and the fact that he was interested in his past was something he had been hoping for, but the tone of his voice when he made the remark about his daughter, aggravated him beyond extent.
His father's eyes were once again cold and free of emotion, but he was staring into those eyes intently, and finally he found what he was looking for: curiosity. He decided to start talking.
"After you abandoned me on Frieza's ship.." "I did NOT abandon you" King Vegeta interrupted. "Don't interrupt me, old man" Vegeta said to his father. King Vegeta stood up furious.
"Vegeta!" He yelled as he slammed his fist onto the table. "Who the hell do you think you are? You aks me to come here and speak to you, and yet you still act as if I'm below the sole of your boot! I am your father, you're speaking to me as if you're a little child who was never heard of the words 'honor' and 'respect. You keep saying you're an adult, but I don't see that in the way you present yourself! If you want me to treat you like an equal, which you are in age, you will have to stop playing your foolish games, and adress me as a proper Saiyan, and present yourself as royalty. I don't see the prince of all Saiyans in you, so start acting like it!."
Vegeta was in shock at his father's words. What? Childish?
Vegeta also stood up and looked at his father. "I am presenting myself in the most honorable way a prince possibly could. If you're too weak to deal with what has occured between us, you have no place to be here. I simply asked for a meeting with you, because I wanted to prove to you that I did it. I wanted to show you how powerful I became. For the first seven years of my life I have done nothing but train so I could get a kind word from you, and you know why I'm here, father? Because I want to prove to you, that you are nothing. I have pushed myself to my very limit and beyond, and I did it without you. I don't need you. I never did. This meeting was just to prove something that I have known for a very long time. I will speak to you in any way I wish. You have no right to put me in my place, for my place is far above you. I had surpassed you as a child, and if you can't deal with the facts, leave." Unlike his father, Vegeta spoke those words very calmly. He looked at his father, waiting to see what his reaction would be. He knew he had gone too far, he knew it.
King Vegeta looked broken. He was still hiding his emotions as best as he could, but Vegeta could see that his words had affected his father much more than he let on. Finally, the king spoke.
"Then so be it" And he walked off towards the door.

"Mommy, mommy look! I made the cloud stay up there all by itself" Bra yelled excited as she pointed at a small magnet in the shape of a cloud. She had been playing with it for a long time, and now she finally realised that she could stick it to theefrigerator. Bulma smiled. "Yes sweetie, that's very smart of you."
Trunks walked over to Bulma. "Mom?" he whispered so Bra couldn't hear him. "Do you think dad's going to do something stupid?" Bulma sighed. "I don't know, sweetie. It depends, knowing your father, he'll probably say some things that he didn't mean so he can save his pride. We're used to it, but you never know how his father could react. If he says something to save that pride of his, and his father won't take it well, things will get really ugly. I just pray he won't say anything stupid" She responded. Vegeta, please don't ruin this.

King Vegeta had stood up and was walking towards the door. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. So that was it. My son didn't become half the man I hoped he'd be. What kind of a fool have I been, thinking he wanted to see me because my opinion might mean something to him. What kind of an idiot am I? And what kind of an idiot was he? I am his father, and he expects me to sit around patiently, acting as his lapdog.
I do not have to take this shit from anyone.
He put his fingers around the doorknob, when he suddenly heard "stop." He turned around, to see his son holding his tail in his hand. "You will not leave this building" prince Vegeta said.
"Oh, really?" The King said sarcastic.He turned around to face his only son. "And what is it that would keep me here? You have made it very obvious that you do not wish to speak to me."
"You will stay because I ask you to. Don't get me wrong, Vegeta;I do not want you to stay because you're my father. You will listen to every word I have to say to you. You will find out why I am angry at you. I will tell you about what had happened at Frieza's ship. And I will tell you how I achieved the impossibe, how I became a Super-Saiyan. You will do all of this, because you were not there to witness these events, simply because you were weak. I am your son, and you abondond me on Frieza's ship. So surely, listening to what I have to say to you wouldn't be so difficult, now would it?" He finished.
King Vegeta thought this over for a moment. "Show me" He said to his son.
"Show you what?" Vegeta asked surprised. "You claim to be the Legendary Super-Saiyan. Show me. If you're truly as great as you say you are, I will listen to every word you say, and I will not contradict you in anything." The king answered. All the anger and dissapoint was gone from his voice. He was now, once again, emotionless.

Vegeta smirked. So father wants to witness my true strength? Hahaha (a/n: Vegeta's evil laugh)
"Very well" Vegeta said. "Follow me." The two Vegeta's walked out the door, and Vegeta walked over to one of the guards. "I wish to power up and unleash my true strength" he said to one of the guards.
He remembered that he had to notify the guards before he powered up. The guards nodded, and they all took a step back.
"Stand back and enjoy the ride, father" He told his father cocky. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh" Vegeta was powering up. His aura changed from blue to yellow as his hair was slowly beginning to change color.
His black, onyx eyes were turning teal as he powered up for the last time. And a mere second later, he was done. Vegeta stood proudly. His hair was blond, his eyes were teal, and there were small bits of lightning ricocheting off his body. Super Saiyan level two. King Vegeta gawked at his son. "So, father. Would you like a scouter and count the seconds until it breaks?" Vegeta smirked when he saw the expression on his fathers face. King Vegeta recovered quickly, but even he couldn't hide the admiration that was so evident in his eyes.
"Now, let's continue, shall we?" Vegeta said as he stepped back in to the house, followed by King Vegeta.
"Let's see, where was I? Oh, yes. After you abondend me on Frieza's ship, I was locked up in a room. Zarbon came to my chambers shortly after I was locked up there to inform me that I were to start purging planets soon, and that Frieza wished to see me so he could start my training. Ah, yes. Frieza's so called 'training'. Do you know what it feels like to be completely humiliated, to be stripped off your honor, and to have some sadistic, disgusting and hidiously ugly creature torture you, father" He finished questiongly. "Yes, my son. I do" King Vegeta answered.
