The car pulled up in front of a massive palace. Guards walked over and opened up the doors.
“This is where we all are going to stay. Welcome to your new home.” Leiko led the way to the large wooden doors that appeared to open magically.
Vegeta was close behind Leiko as the others fell behind. It was all so extravagant. Bulma and Goku closed their mouths and ran off to catch up to the two royals.
“This is Trunks' room.” Leiko pointed to a large, blue door just as a servant appeared. “And this is Jada, your nanny. She will provide you with anything you need. That red door over there belongs to Bra. She will also have her own nanny. Her name is Terunga. Leave the children here as the rest of the tour will be boring for them.”
The two nannies walked up to take the children from Bulma. She was a little hesitant at first, but liked the idea of getting some time away from the children.
Leiko continued down the hall. “This black door is Kakarot's room. It is right next to the kitchen so you have ready access to all the food you want. Kakarot, we will leave you here and someone will get you when we are ready for dinner. Lastly, this purple door will belong to you and Bulma, Vegeta. Please make yourself at home. I have a lot to take care of.” With that, Leiko was gone.
Vegeta was first to enter. After a quick glance, he headed straight for the shower. “I guess it will do.”
Bulma was amazed by the luxurious fabrics and king-size bed. “Are you kidding? This is magnificent! I can't believe this is ours.”
“Hn, like I said, it will do. It is nothing compared to what I had on Planet Vegeta.” With that, he shut the bathroom door.

Leiko peered over her shoulder to ensure she wasn't being followed. She quickly ducked into what appeared to be a closet.
“Ah Leiko. Are things going according to plan?”
“Yes, they are settled in their rooms and no one suspects a thing, not even Vegeta.”
“Excellent, carry on.”
“Yes, sir.”

The next day was spent informing the habitants that there was going to be a new king. There were a few groups that did not approve, but the majority accepted Vegeta as their new king. The coronation would go as planned.
Preparations were made. Saiyan armor was constructed for Vegeta and a lavish gown was made for Bulma. There would be a festival afterwards so that the citizens of the planet would feel more connected to their king and be more willing to form an army.
That night, Bulma was having second thoughts. “Vegeta, something doesn't seem right about this. It's all happening too fast.”
“Woman, this planet is going to be under attack in a matter of days. Of course things have to move along fast.”
“But Vegeta, we've only been here a couple days. You don't know anything about this planet.”
“Bulma, you just have cold feet. You've never been in this position before. I've been waiting for this my whole life. Trust me, everything will be fine.”
“I guess you're right Vegeta.” Bulma still had her doubts, but she didn't have the energy to deal with it. She was going to be queen tomorrow. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she was asleep.
“I hope I'm right Bulma, for our children's sake.” Vegeta lay down beside his wife with thoughts of finally being king filling his head.

“And now, I present to you, King Vegeta and Queen Bulma!” Leiko pulled aside the curtain as Bulma and Vegeta stepped forward.
The crowd below cheered as the royal couple waved gracefully. Vegeta swelled with pride. He had dreamed of this for a long time. He was finally king. Vegeta was snapped out of his thoughts as Leiko yelled, “Let the festival begin!”

Leiko remained on the balcony as Vegeta and Bulma wondered among the crowd, getting to know their subjects. She peered down on them, chuckling to herself.
“Poor Vegeta. Doesn't know what's in store for him.”

Goku had been on his way back from the kitchen as he approached the entrance to the balcony.
“…know what's in store for him.”
Goku dropped the drumstick he was holding in shock.
“I have to warn Vegeta!”
