Ch.3
by: Vegeta's Mate
"When will the Prince be out of that fish tank?" The agitated King growled
motioning towards the rejuvenation tank in front of him that contained the
unconscious Prince of Vegetasei.
The doctor started to tremble ever so slightly. He knew that the King could simply
kill him right now for absolutely no reason what-so-ever. And the probability of an
untimely death was all the more escalated by what he would have to say now...
"W...well your majesty, his injuries were pretty extensive and..."
"I did not ask you what was wrong with him you baka! I'm perfectly aware of what
happened! Now answer my question!!"
The Saiyajin medic nearly fainted. "Forgive me your majesty..."
The King was getting very annoyed by now and glared dangerously at the doctor.
"Stop apologizing and answer MY QUESTION!!"
Well by now, the doctor was in need of a clean pair of shorts. He quickly
recovered from his shock and finally answered the question.
"My lord, it is difficult to tell as of now... but he is a strong boy. He should be out
by tomorrow."
"I want him out today." The stated flatly.
"But my King..."
The King glared at the doctor and then turned to leave the room.
"Today doctor..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vegeta slowly opened his eyes and quickly realised that he was no longer in the
gravity room. Through his blurry vision he could make out the outlines of what
must of have been medics scurrying around the room.
~Damn...~ He thought to himself. ~Not the bloody rejuvenation tank again...~
It suddenly occurred to him that he wasn't in there for the normal reason of
fighting. No, it was because of that damned girl!
His anger began to rise as he remembered the female. She had nearly killed him!
But where had she come from? She had said that she had only been "playing" with
the controls. Yeah right. Vegeta figured that she must have been trying to
assassinate him. The Saiyajin empire had many enemies who would just love to
see him killed.
Although... It really didn't seem like she would do that... She seemed to ... to...
NICE. He "hmph'd" to himself. Nice or not, she had messed with the Saiyajin
Prince, and she was going to pay.
"Get me out of here baka..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kollie stood up and began pacing for the thousandth time. What had she thought
she was doing?! She must have been NUTS to fooling around in there! And she
had nearly killed that boy! Although he was an INCREDIBLE brat. That didn't
matter. He was probably mad as hell though by now. And to add the icing to the
cake, she had to be the mate of the Prince, whom she hadn't even met yet.
She sighed and sat down on the bed. It really wasn't fair. All of this was just so
new and so much at one time.... she really didn't that she would be able to handle
it. She really wished her mother were there...
She growled in frustration as she felt a lump begin to form in her throat. What was
WRONG with her?! She had to get over this as soon as possible. She could only
imagine what the Prince would think of her.
She cleared her throat, and walked over to her window. There really wasn't much
to look at though. Vegetasei was NOT the most attractive planet. Although, the
view she had was amazing just the same. It may have not been what one would
call "beautiful," it most certainly was impressive.
A feeling of awe filled her as looked out across the miles of buildings, landscapes
and mountains. She was going to own all of this some day. It was almost mind
boggling. She really didn't know if she had what it took to be a Queen, but she was
as sure as hell going to try...
Just then she was pulled from her thoughts by a servant girl who entered the room.
"My lady..." she said, and bowed waiting to be recognized.
Kollie stared blankly at her for a moment, not understanding why the girl didn't
say anything else. She finally realised that the girl was waiting for
acknowledgment.
"Oh! Umm...yes? What is it?" She managed to stammer out.
The girl rose solemnly to her feet. "My Lady, I was told to tell you that you shall
be meeting the Prince tomorrow morning and to be prepared."
Tomorrow?! She was DEFINITELY not ready to meet the Prince tomorrow!
"Umm.. Y..yes. Thank-you. You may leave now." Kollie faltered.
The girl bowed again and left silently.
Kollie sat down in disbelief. Tomorrow.... the word rolled over and over in mind.
How could she face him tomorrow?
She sombrely crawled into bed. Could things get any worse?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Father, I need to speak with you..." Vegeta yelled slamming and forcing his way
into the conference room where his father was currently engaged in a meeting with
a purplish alien that he had never seen before. Liked he cared.
"Vegeta, not right now..." his father started.
"NOW..." the younger Vegeta seethed through clenched teeth.
The purple alien turned his attention to the youth and smiled with those black,
cruel lips of his. His tail tapped gently against the hover chair that he was seated
in, as if he were in deep thought.
Vegeta felt an involuntary shiver run up his spine as the rather feminine alien
studied him. Vegeta figured that he must have been one of those aliens that were
ummm both boys and girls? By...somethings maybe? Whatever. His suspicion was
furthered even more when the "thing" spoke to him.
"Oh it's really not a problem King Vegeta. We can continue this conversation..."
His grin grew wider. "Later..."
The King seemed to be shocked with the alien's mild response to such a rude
interruption. "Y..yes of course, later."
The alien then silently left the room, but not before he made one last comment. He
smiled at the young Prince and while still watching him when he spoke to his
father.
"That's quite some boy you have there, Vegeta. He will make a fine warrior some
day. That is of course, he isn't already."
He then left the room followed by his two bodyguards, leaving the Prince and the
King to themselves.
"That was highly unnecessary brat." The King stated flatly.
"Whatever, listen! What happened to that girl that tried to kill me?! Where is she?
Or is she already dead?" Vegeta blurted out, unphased by his father's question.
"Whatever are you babbling brat? What girl?" The King was obviously confused
by his son's violent outburst.
Vegeta growled in frustration. "The stupid little bitch that tried to kill me in the
training room!" Realization quickly hit the Prince. "Don't tell me... No one even
saw her....did they?"
The King continued to be baffled. "Listen brat there was no one in the training
room besides you. There was a malfunction with the gravity controls."
"But I saw her and..."
"There was NO ONE there brat! Maybe you were hallucinating."
The Prince had to believe his father. It did seem very unlikely that anyone could
have gotten into the training grounds unnoticed.
"Ummm... yeah. Maybe. I guess you're right." He said quietly.
The Kings features softened somewhat but quickly returned to his normal hard
exterior. "Yes, well... you did have the experience. Maybe you should get some
sleep now. You want to look good for when you meet your future mate don't you?"
Vegeta cringed at that thought. But he knew that it was useless to argue with his
father.
He numbly nodded his head and left, heading for his chambers.
How was he ever going to get past tomorrow...
*sigh*
