Last time on 'The Time Will Come:
The main villian, Kiyoshi, who is also the King's cousin, is revealed. Prince Vegeta being the Royal Legendary is also revealed. (A whole bunch of revelations...) King Vegeta and Queen Keona enter the ballroom for the REAL celebration.......(well, sorta.....)
The Time Will Come
The Celebration
The arrival of the royal family was announced by one of the upper-classed servants. Everyone in the room bowed to their king, and soon after went back to what they were doing before the announcement.
The party was really easy going. Everyone in the room were friends of the King and Queen, no tension what so ever. There were round tables set up around the elaborate dance floor. Above the dance floor were three magnificent chandeliers, the one in the middle being the grandest. Some couples were already on the dance floor doing a ballroom type of dancing.
King Vegeta looked around the room. 'Hmph, the servants did a good job, even on such short notice...' he thought to himself.
King Vegeta and his mate made their way to their distinct table, while being congratulated by several individuals on the way. When they finally reached it, they saw that their really close friends were already seated comfortably and were chatting about this and that.
Everyone greeted Vegeta and Keona as they took their seats. As soon as Keona took her seat, a female servant came and asked if she wished to have the load of holding the prince taken away. Keona merely stated that she preferred to hold Vegeta longer, and that she would call if she changed her mind or if she needed something. Keona then turned to Dr. Briefs and asked a question that was running through her mind.
"So, Myles (a.k.a Dr. Briefs), how is your newborn?" asked Keona.
"Oh, she's doing wonderfully, and yours?"
"Good, good. Where is Callia (a.k.a Mrs. Briefs)"
"She's with the baby, she'll be here soon."
As soon as he finished his sentence, Mrs. Briefs walked in through one of the smaller and more discreet doors, and she took her seat beside her mate.
"Hello everyone!" exclaimed Mrs. Briefs, as usual, in a bubbly kind of way. Even though the Briefs were quite strange in appearance and personality for Saiyans, Vegeta and Keona saw them as close and trustworthy friends.
"Oh, my, your daughter is sure to make a fine woman one day!" Keona said very knowingly. "She is quite the looker, even at such a young age!"
"Oh stop! My Bulma isn't destined to become the LEGENDARY, like your son!! laughed Callia.
The rest of the night was pretty much the same. The queen and Mrs. Briefs engaged in their own conversation, mostly talking about the futures of each other's newborns. King Vegeta and Dr. Briefs on the other hand were discussing more controversial issues with each other. Mainly the topic being about one specific ugly lizard-like being known as Frieza.....
"........He requested an alliance AGAIN?!?!?" Dr. Briefs exclaimed incredulously.
"Yes, and every time he asks, I always give him the same response."
"He must learn to give up." whispered Dr. Briefs said with his eyebrows furrowed while he was looking at the elaborate pattern on the table, seeming as if he was in his own little world.
"He's possibly worried about the Saiyan Empire exceeding his own." affirmed Vegeta.
"Well, that most certainly has to be it, the Saiyan empire is around the same size as the Cold Family Empire. We are only a few planets away from tipping the balance in power."
"Your right, he probably wants to make the two empires into one great big empire and to jointly rule it with him as well. However, I will never let that happen. We can never trust that bastard. He will most likely turn on us. I am certain that ultimately, he will try to take Vegetasei out of existence. I had research done on him and I had a full background check on him when he first asked for an alliance in power. It was exposed that he made numerous other alliances with other planets. It the end, he destroyed that exact same planet that he made an alliance with, also taking what property and technology advances that the planet possessed. How else do you think he was able to form his empire so quickly?" King Vegeta revealed as he was stroking his goatee, a habit of his.
"We must never let him near Vegetasei! We mustn't let him intimidate us either. We shall still conquer planets. It is better for their own well-being if they join our (the Saiyan) empire rather than his." added Dr. Briefs.
"I already thought about that, Briefs. I've scheduled for my top negotiators and ambassadors to travel from planet to planet asking for alliances....." Vegeta trailed off.
"Ah well, nevertheless, we are supposed to be celebrating my son's birth, let's drop the subject for now." Vegeta said to lighten the mood a bit.
"Ah, you are so right, why bring up such a negative topic on such a distinguished day!" agreed Dr. Briefs.
"Hello everyone......."
Everyone's heads snapped up towards the new voice.
"Oh, hello Kiyoshi...." Dr. Briefs greeted with a hint of displeasure.
"Oh, hiya Kiyoshi!!" exclaimed Callia, like she usually did.
Keona greeted Kiyoshi with only a smile and Vegeta just gave a small nod of the head to acknowledge his presence.
"Oh, I can't wait to see what you got my son!" revealed the queen.
"Yes Kiyoshi, where is the gift that you went to your room to get?" questioned the king.
A look of horror shone on Kiyoshi's face. He had totally forgotten about that damn gift he was 'supposedly looking for'. "Oh...well...umm...you see....one of the servants had mistaken the box the gift was in for trash, and she disposed of it....." Kiyoshi finished, hoping his story sounded believable.
"Oh, that's all right!" declared Keona.
Kiyoshi let out a sigh of relief. 'Thank Kami the woman trusts me and is as gullible as they come....' thought Kiyoshi wickedly.
After that little conversation, everybody else went back to what they were doing before Kiyoshi arrived. Kiyoshi sat their for a while. 'Damn, why am I even here, I hate him! I'm not happy for him at all! I'm counting down the days till he is dead...and Briefs too.....' Kiyoshi was eyeing everyone in the magnificent room, and he was selecting a few to put on his list to kill. King Vegeta was number one on his list, Prince Vegeta was second, and Briefs was third.
"Well cousin, I must be going, adieu." Kiyoshi finally finished. He was itching to get back to his room so he could fix the kinks in his plan for absolute take over....
Everyone gave their farewells, and he left. As soon as he walked out of the ballroom, the topic of discussion between Briefs and the King changed dramatically.
"I don't trust him at all. There's something sinister about him..." revealed Briefs.
"Your just being paranoid, I have no reason not to trust him."
"You have to believe me, I just have this gut feeling, and my gut feeling is usually right..
"Are you sure it isn't your hunger? You know that lack of food can make a person think very strange things."
"No Vegeta, I'm serious! Bah, fine, don't believe me, but sooner or later, I know something is bound to happen..."
"Let's have the servants bring more food for you."
"I'm not going to argue about that.......but just....just take my warning into consideration." plead Briefs
"Right, right..." King Vegeta agreed, just to make Briefs shut up about his damned 'gut feeling'.
Suddenly, Keona turned to Vegeta very excitedly. Vegeta just lifted an eyebrow and waited for her to explain what had her almost jumping out of her seat.
"Callia and I have decided that Vegeta and Bulma should get married to each other when they get older! I mean, Bulma is sure to be a beauty, and she is also bound to have brains because of her lineage! They will one day make the perfect King and Queen together!" exclaimed Keona.
"So, that is what you two were talking so excitedly about this whole time," Vegeta said with amusement.
"So, what do you think about it?" questioned Keona.
"It seems like a good idea to me, but the rituals can't be held at such a young age. We have to wait till they become at least five years old (A/N: oh yeah, that's a hell of a lot older...<sarcasm>) to declare that they are full-fledged betrothed mates." answered Vegeta.
"Maybe we should wait till they become older and allow them to make their own decision about becoming mates," Briefs said uneasily.
"Nonsense, they will be perfect for each other! Nothing to worry about!" stated King Vegeta.
Mrs. Briefs excitedly held baby Bulma close to baby Vegeta, "You see here honey, this is going to be your soon to be mate one day!! Isn't he just adorable!!" Mrs. Briefs said in a delighted tone of voice.
'Oh dear........' thought Dr. Briefs. He knew you couldn't force to individuals to become mates, it was only destiny and fate. If they weren't meant to be, the results would be....... disastrous. 'I guess we'll just have to wait and see....' he contemplated to himself.
After the little talk between the two pairs, the discussions went back to normal. Keona and Callia were once again talking about the futures of their newborns, and Dr. Briefs and Vegeta were discussing politics and new technology (you know, what guys like them find interesting...)
NARRATOR: It's very ironic how they are acting so carefree and blithe at the moment. Little do they all know of what is in store for them, and their young, for the future years to come.......Mwahahahahaha!!!
