Four Star Dragonball
Chapter Four: A Party! And Fun at the Lake.

Vegeta waited with irritation at the table for his breakfast, but his thoughts were dragging over yesterday's events. He woke up, tried to insult the Namek enough to fight him but was unsuccessful, then tried bothering Kakarotto, even though the idiot always ran from him. As he drew closer and closer to the other Saiyan's ki signature, the more he was surprised to notice it not disappearing and reappearing further away.

He finally came upon the other collapsed inside a box of a house. Faintly alarmed, Vegeta checked the other for injuries. It was then when he discovered that Kakarotto's tail had regenerated. He seethed-Kakarotto always being first at everything, even when it comes down to growing back a tail! When he found no wounds or broken bones, he decided to wait a while until the idiot woke up. That didn't take very long, as the sound of his white boots must have disturbed Kakarotto's sleep.

Vegeta sensed the other man's ki jump and falter. It was no where near the level where it should have been. Something was wrong with the fool. Instead of coaxing the man into fighting him, he decided to take Kakarotto to Bulma. She would find out what the problem was with his ki.

But he didn't want to go so easily. It seemed he was destined to be a perpetual pain in Vegeta's ass.

Then he found out that the other Saiyan was taking drugs-never a good sign. The man feared doctors so it must have been a serious problem. It was then imperative to get Kakarotto to the woman's care.

And he noticed the fool hadn't truly smiled once since he found him lying in that shack. His dumb head usually had that mask on, but the prince used to earn a real grin once in a while in the past. So why not now? That had to change.

And it did. His pride suffered a bit, but it was worth it. The prince felt the other's ki rise a little as he told him that Bulma cared for him. He would get to clobber him yet!

The corner of his mouth twitched. The woman was in love with the idiot. While he was no longer with her, a surge of jealousy still pervaded through him. He began to sweat when he didn't know who he was jealous of.

"Morning, everyone!" Goku sparkled as he walked into the kitchen, drawing Vegeta from his musings.

"Oh, Goku, you're here. Let me get Bura up for breakfast. Trunks is over at the Kame house because of a boy's night out or something," Bulma said as she disappeared down a hallway as Goku took a seat next to Vegeta. The woman returned with her one of her children and proceeded to stack the food onto plates.

The idiot was smiling. He wasn't lugging around that blasted pillow, either. Vegeta shot the woman a look. She waved a peace sign. He really did admire her unique power. The savior.

Bura scuffled into the kitchen and took her seat at the table next to Goku in an almost zombie-like trance, obviously on automatic pilot. Then she turned to her right as she noticed the stranger. After a delayed reaction, her blue eyes shot open as wide as they could go and pointed at the taller Saiyan.

"Kakarotto!" she squealed, her mouth hanging open in shock.

Vegeta smirked and Goku laughed. The taller Saiyan had not seen the little princess often, and when he did she was near her father. It looked like she hung around the prince more often than her mother, so she picked up his Saiyan name rather than his Earth name.

"Honey, his name is Goku. Did you sleep well?" Bulma asked as she scooped a stack of waffles onto her daughter's plate.

"Uh huh!" she grinned. "Papa, lookie! Kakarotto is here!"

Vegeta nodded as Bulma set the two full-blooded Saiyans' plates down.

"How about you, Goku? Did you sleep okay?" she asked.

The Saiyan beamed and nodded his head. Like a fucking ray of sunshine. Vegeta started to wonder if the woman slept with him. He knew she went into his room and stayed there for quite some time before going to her own room. A growl rumbled in the back of his throat.

"I guess Vegeta didn't," Bulma chuckled as she delivered the last plate for herself; sporting just two waffles compared to the stack of twenty each for the other three (even Bura had the infamous Saiyan appetite!). After pouring herself a bit of syrup, she passed the bottle over to Vegeta, who was still giving her a nasty look.

"I usually have nightmares when I eat junk food just before I go to bed, but I slept okay," Goku said between mouthfuls, too anxious to wait for syrup.

Vegeta started to choke as the other Saiyan spoke. Oh God, now she's into kinky sex with food!

Bulma patted his back and gave him an odd look. Then she turned back to Goku, "Well, I'm glad you finally got a good night's rest. You're welcome to stay here, if you want."

"Yeah, yeah!" Bura chimed as she wiggled in her booster chair.

He was going to kill someone. Either Kakarotto or the woman. A body must be sacrificed to his insanity. Now she wanted Kakarotto to stay, and be her secret lover behind his back. Maybe she wanted to make him her mate. And then where would he be!?

"Goku, I think you need to take Vegeta out of the house for a while. He's acting weird," she noted as he was just staring at a bite of waffle.

"All right, as soon as I'm done," the tall Saiyan continued eating.

Still as a statue, Vegeta still hadn't moved his fork.

--------

As soon as the men were out of the building, Bulma dropped her daughter off with the girl's grandmother and rushed to her telephone. She had a fantastic idea of throwing a grand celebration in honor of Goku's return. She would show him how much he was missed and loved by inviting all of his old friends and his family. That way maybe his bout of depression would fade away a little more.

She even went as far as using the time machine, which she had just recently completed, to contact Future Trunks. Knowing how much the party meant to Goku, he readily agreed to be there. He was kind enough to come back with her right away to start setting up the party.

It was all set then. Everyone-both her Trunks and Mirai Trunks; Bura; Dr. and Mrs. Briefs; Krillin and his family; Ox King; Master Roshi; Baba; Yamcha; Puar; Oolong; Androids Eight, Sixteen, and Seventeen; Piccolo; Gohan and his family; Goten; Tien; Lunch; Chaotzu; Yajirobe; Korin; Mr. Popo; Dende; Mr. Satan; Bee; Buu-all would give their favorite hero their love and support and show Goku a good time.

Meanwhile, the Saiyans didn't come up with anything exciting to do. Other than eating, fighting, and sleeping, they didn't do much. Then Goku suggested they go swimming in his favorite fishing hole. That way he could work on regaining his strength and have fun at the same time.

The taller Saiyan tore his clothes off and hopped into the water with a splash. He swam around the perimeter of the lake twice, getting a feel for the water. Then he asked if he prince was going to swim.

"Hell no," the prince cringed at the idea. He would rather be inside his beloved gravity chamber training at 600g, which sounded pleasant at the moment. But the woman insisted vehemently that he spent time with Kakarotto. Sure, he knew people were what he needed most now but did that list have to include him? The woman was not one to be argued with-painful to his sensitive ears.

"All right," Goku said and continued swimming. It felt wonderful to stretch his muscles out and put them to work again. He missed training. If he worked hard enough, he could get up to Vegeta's level and they could start a sparring regime again.

He sure was feeling good, which came to a pleasant surprise. He was even smiling, a real smile. As he floated on his back and watched a few birds pass overhead, a thought occurred to him-he forgot to take his medicine this morning. By the look of the sun in the clear blue sky it was after noon already! But here he was, not slumping about or thinking of methods to end his life. Just happy.

Then his head was shoved underwater.

He resurfaced, coughing the water out of his lungs, hearing a mild laughter behind him. Wheezing, he turned to see Vegeta smirking at him most proudly.

"That wasn't very nice, Vegeta," Goku frowned and shook water from his ear. "I thought you said you weren't going to swim."

"I changed my mind, you fool," the prince said and reclined back into the water.

Goku's face abruptly turned a light shade of pink as he caught a glimpse of the prince's lack of clothed flesh. Vegeta narrowed his eyes and the smirk widened.

"People see you naked all the time, Kakarotto, so I don't know why you are suddenly embarrassed to see me in a similar manner."

The third-class scratched his head and resumed floating on the water's surface. "I don't know. It just doesn't seem very regal for you to do that."

Vegeta's heart skipped a beat. The fool made a reference to his title. He turned to stare at the other wide-eyed, and then grinned like never before. "That's it! I can die without regrets now! Kakarotto has acknowledged me as his prince!" His laughter echoed off the pine trees surrounding the lake. "I am the Prince of all Saiyans once again!"

Goku chuckled at the notion, "Yeah, and that's what you said when you first achieved Super Saiyan and I still grounded you into the dust."

Vegeta growled, but the fact remained. He could die happy. He almost wanted to kiss the bastard.

Oh God, there were those feelings again…

The prince started swimming away from the other Saiyan and start on the sandbank for both of their good. He really needed a spar now. At least the water was cool enough to sooth his heated skin.

His attention was torn to a yelp that the other Saiyan emitted and was quickly swimming towards him. Tears stung the taller man's eyes. What the fuck now?

Goku scrambled up the shore and plopped down in the mud as soon he put enough distance between himself and the water. He then laid his tail over his hand and held it close to him, frowning at the water.

Vegeta waited for an explanation as he padded over to the sitting Saiyan. He stood above him, arms crossed, pausing for the other Saiyan to calm down.

"M-My tail," he stuttered. "A fish bit my tail…"

The smaller man rolled his eyes and took a seat beside Goku, holding his hand out to examine the other's tail. Goku hesitated, but laid the trembling appendage across Vegeta's palm.

"Don't hurt it," Goku eyed the prince suspiciously.

Vegeta snorted and gazed upon the brown fur of the tail. His fingers ran over the soft hair and the warm flesh underneath to see if any bones were broken. No injuries were found so he released the tail, but it seemed that it would have none of that. The appendage wrapped itself around Vegeta's wrist, as if wanting to be petted more.

Blinking, the prince turned to its owner in bewilderment. Goku's eyelids were half-closed, his lips slightly parted, cheeks flushed, arms hung limply over his thighs. Mortified, Vegeta started shaking his hand furiously to get the tail off of him, unaware until now that it was an erogenous zone.

But the tail would not come off. Vegeta snuck another peak at the aroused Saiyan before squeezing his eyes shut again. He tried thinking back to when he had a tail. Was it that sensitive? He knew hurting a tail could render a Saiyan unconscious but he didn't know the other effect if handled the other way. He stole another glance. He just couldn't keep his eyes away from Kakarotto. He just looked so… so…

Delicious.

Vegeta felt his face light on fire at the forbidden observation. But it was true. More than anything, the prince willed himself not to give into wishes that he knew, just knew, would leave nasty consequences.

"V-Vegeta…" Goku whispered, confused.

Grinding his teeth, the smaller man forced himself to look away, to not hear a very desirable Saiyan begging for his attention. But, God.

He ripped himself away from Kakarotto's tail and shoved the Saiyan into the chilly water of the lake, following swiftly afterward.

Maybe he needed a dose of whatever medicine the third-class took. It would be a long day.
