A/n: I don't know where or how I came up with this idea but it just seemed like something that would make a good story... to me at least. It takes place on Namek right before Frieza attacks. Hope you enjoy it!
'Thoughts'
Immortality Granted
Vegeta stared at Krillen, Gohan and Dende, panic-faced. 'Those back-stabbers! After all I did for them they go and already waste two wishes! How could they?! I have to stop them before they waste the 3rd wish on something stupid!' Vegeta got up from his position on the ground a started sprinting toward Dende.
"WISH FOR MY IMMORTALITY! WISH FOR IT YOU NAMEK BEFORE I BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF!" Vegeta screamed as he reached Dende and lifted him up by the collar of his shirt. The green namek looked like he was about to have a heart attack on the spot.
"Put him down!" Gohan growled at Vegeta.
"And just what do you think you are going to do about it, runt?" Vegeta then held his hand up and shot a ki blast at Gohan, sending him sprawling across the ground, skidding to a halt about 100 feet away.
"NO!!!!" Dende screamed, thinking the blast would kill Gohan.
"Now make the wish before I kill him!" Vegeta screamed, as he held up his hand and pointed it and Gohan, gathering ki for a massive attack.
"Okay okay! Just don't hurt him!" Dende then turned to the Porunga, but before he could speak he felt himself be dropped to the ground. Dende turned around to see Vegeta on all fours, gasping for air, as an angry Krillen stood next to him. Vegeta then leapt to his feet, causing Krillen to stumble backwards.
"You should know better than to attack a saiyan when his guard is down. Now you will pay!" Vegeta then put his fist into Krillen's stomach, sending him flying backwards into a mountain, unconscious. Dende saw his last hope fade away as he watched Krillen get punched. Vegeta then turned to Dende.
"MAKE THE WISH FOR IMMORTALITY NOW," Vegeta screamed, he then started gather up a massive amount of energy, "or your friend is going to get it!" Dende thought for a second about his options.
'Lets see,' Dende thought, 'if I don't make the wish, Vegeta will kill Gohan then probably turn on me. If I make the wish, Vegeta will probably kill Gohan, but leave me alone. Either way Gohan is screwed.' An idea then popped into the young namek's mind.
"Okay I will make the wish for immortality."
"Good you have finally wizened up."
Dende slowly turned to face Porunga another time. He was trying to take as much time as possible for Piccolo to get there, but it seemed like something had distracted him. 'I guess I need another plan.' Dende slowly lifted his head into the air and stared at Porunga. 'That might work,' Dende thought as another idea popped into his head. 'But Gohan might not be to happy with it, but it is the only way and anyway he can always unwish it later!'
"HURRY UP BOY! MY PATIENTS IS WEARING THIN WITH YOU!" This snapped Dende out of his thoughts. He then opened his mouth and started speaking in his native language to Porunga. When he stopped Porunga's eyes lit up red, then he said "Your wish has been granted."
"Finally! I am immortal!!" Vegeta then laughed evilly. "And now your friend will pay! BIG BANG ATTACK!" Vegeta then shot his big bang attack at Gohan, engulfing his body. He then stared at Dende, who had fear all over his face.
"As for you, green boy, I think I will let you live, for now." He then flew away at an incredible speed, so fast that he couldn't see the smirk on Dende's face.
"And what makes you think I wished you immortal? All you told me was to make the wish for immortality, you didn't say whose." Dende then walked over to Gohan, to find him lying flat on the ground, not a single scratch on him.
Gohan slowly stood up, a feeling of power running through his veins.
"Woo, what happened Dende? Vegeta just shot his big bang attack at me and I didn't even feel it. As a matter of fact I feel about 10 times stronger now than I was a few minutes ago!" Dende looked at his friend, a slight frown on his face. Gohan picked up on this immediately.
"Dende what's wrong?" Gohan asked, panic evident in his quivering voice.
"Well I don't know how much you are going to like this, Gohan, but I couldn't think of anything else."
"Anything else for what?" Gohan asked, now downright scarred at the answer that he knew would be coming, even though he had no clue of what it was going to be.
"Well... Well Gohan I don't know any other way to put this! You're immortal! I wished you immortal!"
"I'm.... immortal? YOU WISHED ME IMMORTAL?!" Gohan screamed, anger definite in his voice.
"IT WAS THE ONLY WAY! VEGETA WOULD HAVE KILLED YOU! It was either wish you immortal, or you be dead." Dende said, a tear running down his face. "Please don't be mad at me Gohan, but I can understand if you can't forgive me. Anyway you can wish yourself mortal back on earth!" Dende said that last part with joy in his crying voice, as he remembered the other part of his plan.
"I can't stay mad at you, Dende." Gohan said, as he grabbed the namek and hugged him, cheering up the depressed namek, who thought he had just lost his friend. Even though he hadn't known Gohan very long Gohan was already his best friend.
"Thank you Gohan."

Vegeta stared at Frieza, a grin on his face. Frieza just stared back, wondering why Vegeta wasn't running in fear.
"I have a bone to pick with you Frieza. You destroyed my home planet. You killed my family, and most of my race. You kidnapped me and forced me to be a crony of yours. Now you will pay!"
"And just how do you expect to do that?" Frieza said, his voice scary enough to make the bravest men in the universe turn around and run for the hills. But Vegeta, who wasn't affected at all by it because of his newly found confidence, just let out a small laugh.
"Easily. Because I'm not what I was the last time you met me. I am a hell of a lot stronger but that isn't why I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of you because I know something you don't."
"And just what is that ?" Frieza asked, in a very disbelieving voice.
"I AM IMMORTAL!"
