Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Now is the time for Family ❯ Vegeta, The King, and "The Royal Family" ( Chapter 4 )

Vegeta, The King, and "The Royal Family"

Vegeta and the King walked into the kitchen, where Vegeta had told his family to wait, with the same stern faces they always wore. Bulma looked at her husband with a face full of concern, but Vegeta cracked his normal grin and Bulma knew everything had worked out between her husband and his father.

"Bulma, I would like you to meet my father."

"Uh pleased to meet you... sire?"

"Sire? What have you told your beautiful wife about me son?" The King laughed at Bulma's greeting.

"Hm," Vegeta scoffed, "she must have gotten it from our early years of acquaintance when I insisted that she called me Prince."

The King and Vegeta had a hardy laugh over Bulma's formal greeting to the once King of Saiyans.

"How about this for a better greeting?" Bulma said as she wrapped her arms around the King's neck and gave him a peck on the cheek, "Nice to meet you dad."

"I'd say that's much more like it," the king said with a smile on his face. "And what about my grandchildren? Don't they want to greet their grandfather?"

"Yes father, this is Trunks, your grandson. You should be very proud of the lineage you have produced father, Trunks' power rival's even my own even at his young age."

"Nice to meet you sir.... errr... Pap."

"Pap? Please don't call me Pap. It makes me feel too old! Grandfather doesn't sound quite as bad wouldn't you agree young beauty?" The king said as he glanced at Bra who quickly ducked behind her mother's leg. Afterall, King Vegeta was much taller than his son and had a very formidable look to him, especially to a seven-year-old girl. "Awww. She's afraid of her grandfather. She looks just like her mother."

"Bra wouldn't you like to meet your grandfather?" Bulma asked soothingly.

"But I already have a grandfather and he's not nearly as scary mommy."

"Oh baby, wouldn't you like to have two grandfathers? You can have twice the fun with them. You always have fun with grandpa Briefs don't you?" Bra shook her head yes, "Then you can have fun with grandpa Vegeta too can't you?" Bra shook her head no and grabbed onto her mother's leg. "Oh come on honey, would you feel better if I went with you to meet him?" Bra shook her head yes and Bulma hoisted her up and walked towards the king.

"And what's your name little one?"

"Bra." The nervous little girl choked out as she buried her face in her mother's shoulder.

"Bra, that's a beautiful name. Trunks and Bra we seem to have a theme going here don't we?" The King reached out and stroked Bra's cheek gently and Bra seemed to ease up a bit. "Well we'll have to get to know each other better later honey."

"Well son you seem to have a very... colorful family here." The King said glancing at Trunks' purple hair and Bulma and Bra's blue hair.

"Yes well I don't exactly know where the lavender came from but at least Bra takes after her lovely mother."

"Yes they are the mirror image of each other aren't they? They're both beautiful."

"Ha and not to worry about Trunks' hair," Vegeta said as he looked at a rather red faced Trunks, "it's blonde when he battles just like mine."

"Yes I saw that Saiyan Kakarot's hair turn blonde and get extremely long on the way here. I believe I knew his father back home, Bardock I believe."

The King motioned to Vegeta that it was time they had a long talk. Vegeta led his father into one of the many offices that Capsule Corp. has.

"Yes that Third Class Saiyan," Vegeta said sarcastically, "Unlocked the secret to the great power of our race. He was the first to reach super saiyan and destroy that fiend Freeza. He has also ascended to what we call a super saiyan level three. There is much more to the super saiyan than we could have imagined father. I must admit Kakarot's power exceeds my own. I've failed you in not becoming the most powerful warrior in the universe."

"You've failed nothing, you have become more than I could have ever imagined you becoming. You were too much like me, stern and cold. 40 years in hell will change you a lot."

"So will a two decades of service to a fiend and another decade and a half with good friends, a caring wife, and a wonderful family. I know you haven't been the same since mom died giving birth to me, but I think you should think about settling down and spending the rest of your life peacefully with us and maybe find yourself someone to spend it with."

"Yes son that might not be the worst idea. I rather like this planet."

"You will like it more with time. Tell me father, would you like to begin training again. You could become very powerful; maybe even become a super saiyan. You know, as much as I don't like to admit it, there are humans who are more powerful than you right now, and even a Namek." The King merely laughed at this statement.

"No an old man like me has no room to try to compete with you young fighters. Although I guess none of you are very young either. No I will be content to live peacefully, I'm sure those fighters worked very hard to become as powerful as they are. I would like to meet this Namek though, maybe he can help me find mental peace, and maybe I can meditate with him."

"Ha Piccolo never was one to take to other people, although if he took to Kakarot's son, what's to stop him from taking to you. He may take to you but I'm sure Raditz might have a problem if those two should meet. I'm sure you've heard all about that."

"Indeed I have. Come son we have much to catch up on. I can get to know your family better later, right now you and I need some time together..."
