Just in case: character thinks, "..." character speaks

"Wow, dad. That was a pretty close shave" Trunks said as he dodged one of his fathers blasts.

He landed on the floor of the gravity room, looking up at the ceiling, trying to find his father.

Vegeta suddenly appeared in front of him, and they started fighting again. "Don't let your guard down, boy." Vegeta said as he threw another punch at his son.

They had been training for a very long time now, and Trunks was getting tired. Luckily for him, the computer screen in the GR suddenly showed Bulma's face on it.

"Trunks, Vegeta, dinner's ready!" A computerized version of Bulma was saying.

"All right mom, we'll be right there!" Trunks shouted as he fired another blast at his father.

Ten minutes later, Trunks and Vegeta were walking towards the dining room of Capsule Corporation.

Their house was probably the largest in West City and just crossing the distance between the gravity room and the main entrance to the residence took a while.

Vegeta looked at his son, and couldn't help a but feeling a little proud of him: Trunks had fought well and was still showing improvement after every training session. After getting his ass kicked at the last World Tournament, Vegeta was happy to note that Trunks has taken more interest in his training again. And for the first time in his life, he actually hoped that his son was proud of him too. Never having had a father, he didn't know how to relate to Trunks.

They were walking towards the dining room in silence, and Vegeta couldn't help but wonder how his father was.

He was in Hell, no doubt about that. Probably stuck somewhere with Cell and Frieza. He smirked. The thought of his father having to spend an eternity in the company of Frieza actually amused him.

Could it be possible that father was seeing me? That he knew what was going on in my life? Vegeta shook off that thought. There was no way his father could possibly know that he had achieved his goal. Would he have been proud of me? Vegeta thought. Or would he have been ashamed of the fact that I'm mated to an earthling? Would he have been proud that the Saiyan race survived, or would he kill the brats for being half-breed?

These questions had been bugging Vegeta ever since he mated Bulma. King Vegeta was not a very kind man, that he was certain of. His father had always been very strict, and he had been tougher on him than the average father. But somewhere deep inside, Vegeta had always thought that a part of his father was proud of him. There had been times that he had warmed up to him.

"Hey, dad. Check it out! Isn't that the Supreme Kai over there?" Trunks yelled out. "That's not possible" Vegeta said with a look of disbelief on his face. "Just look, dad!" And Trunks pointed towards a familiar purple face. A very familiar face.

The Supreme Kai had been waiting for Vegeta for over an hour now, and he smiled kindly when he saw him and Trunks walking towards him.

"Ah, hello Vegeta. It's been a long time" the Kai said as he shook Vegeta's hand.

Vegeta nodded in response to the Kai's words, and the Supreme Kai just kept on smiling. The Saiyan prince soon regained his composure and masked his shock at the Kai's visit. "There are a few things I would like to discuss with you. Shall we proceed inside?" Vegeta nodded again and walked into a room with the Kai and Trunks following him.

"Well, Vegeta. Here we are. Ten Earth-years later. Perhaps it has failed to come to your attention, but precisely ten years ago, you came back from the dead for one day, and helped us defeat Majin Buu. Do you remember that day, Vegeta?" The Supreme Kai asked.

Vegeta chuckled. "Hn, it's not something to forget that easily, now is it?" He said sarcastically.

The Supreme Kai just kept on smiling, unaffected by Vegeta's mocking tone.

"Well, the older Kai and I have been talking about it very often, and we both felt that you coming back to Earth to fight, even though you were already dead, was something so brave, that surely it needs to be rewarded."Vegeta's eyes widened. A reward? He smirked. Perhaps this could be it. The moment I have been waiting for all my life

"Well, I obviously can't grant you things such as more power, or anything that could endanger the Universe, but apart from that, I will grant you one wish, maybe something the dragonballs can't give you?" The Supreme Kai looked at Vegeta as if he knew exactly what Vegeta would wish for.

Vegeta's mind was going crazy. He had a thousand ideas, one more unlikely than the other. Suddenly his face grew stern. "I trust it that this is not some ridiculous joke!"

"No, of course not Vegeta!" The Supreme Kai said shocked. He did not want to end up on Vegeta's wrong side, and was trying to convince him that he was not joking. Vegeta bowed his head, and tried to think of something he could wish for, that wouldn't endanger the people on Earth.

And then it hit him.

Vegeta raised his head and looked the Supreme Kai in the eyes. "I wish to speak to my father."
