The gentle summer breeze blew lightly through his spiky black hair as the sun put sparkles in the young saiyan's eyes. His furry tail was tied firmly around his waist, and he stared at his reflection in the lake that lay within one of his father's enormous gardens. Two ruby eyes stared back at him from the water, gazing curiously up at him.
"…" he reached out to touch the reflection, and the figure vanished. Why did that always happen?
"Peachtin!" his grandfather called. The boy stood up and turned to look at his grandfather King Vegeta. King Vegeta peered down at him. He was not at all satisfied with the boy's red eyes or the black lines that ran down his face, but he was pleased with the child's otherwise saiyan features and his incredible strength. "Follow me, I'll teach you how to improve your ki attacks."
"Tell me about the Super Saiyan as well!" the boy demanded excitedly as he followed his grandfather.
"I will."
Meanwhile, the changeling prince Frieza stood high on the balcony outside their bedroom, watching the scene. He didn't flinch when he felt two arms slide around his waist.
"So?" Prince Vegeta began.
"What?" Frieza pretended he didn't know.
"Come on!" Vegeta whined. "You own your father's empire, Peactin is strong and healthy, and despite everything my father has accepted that you and I are in love –"
"He must have had feelings of his own for your mother, or he never would have forgiven you for loving me." Frieza commented.
"Maybe…" Vegeta said. "But life is perfect." He looked at the changeling king. "So when are you going to tell me how you feel?"
"You fool." Frieza turned around, planted a kiss on the saiyan's lips, and walked past him. "You expect me to tell you?"
"Frieza!" Vegeta protested. "That isn't fair!"
"Vegeta…" Frieza began, and turned to face him. "Despite me telling you not to, you saved me from my father, you gave me this life, a marriage, a son…" he looked at him, and smirked. "And I haven't left you yet, have I? So what do you think?"
Vegeta stared at him for a while, then smiled.
Hey, Hey
Did you ever think
There might be another way
To just feel better,
Just feel better about today
Oh no
If you never want to have
To turn and go away
You might feel better,
Might feel better if you stay
Yeah yeah
I bet you haven't heard
A word I've said
Yeah yeah
If you've had enough
Of all your tryin'
Just give up
The state of mind you're in
If you want to be somebody else,
If you're tired of fighting battles with yourself
If you want to be somebody else
Change your mind
Hey, hey
Have you ever danced in the rain
Or thanked the sun
Just for shining- just for shining
Or the sea?
Oh no- take it all in
The world's a show
And yeah, you look much better,
Look much better when you glow
Yeah yeah
I bet you haven't heard
A word I've said
Yeah yeah
If you've had enough
Of all your tryin'
Just give up
The state of mind you're in
If you want to be somebody else,
If you're tired of fighting battles with yourself
If you want to be somebody else
Change your mind
Hey, hey
what ya say
We both go and seize the day
'cause what's your hurry
what's your hurry anyway
Yeah yeah
I bet you haven't heard
A word I've said
Yeah yeah
If you've had enough
Of all your tryin'
Just give up
The state of mind you're in
If you want to be somebody else,
If you're tired of fighting battles with yourself
If you want to be somebody else
Change your mind...
