"Why not? I need a reason why he can't come with me. Otherwise I have to register him .."

"It's more of a private matter," said Bardock. "But I still have to find out.", Zuhada said and looked at Bardock. He turned his head away. "Even if it's just a private matter ... Either you tell me why or I write him in, then he'll be there for the next assignment." Bardock narrowed his eyes. It was nobody's business why he didn't like Vegeta ... "I just don't like him.", Said Bardock and hoped that Zuhada would now calm down. But it was not so. "Why ... you don't like him? If I'm honest, I can't stand Prince Vegeta either, but ..." "That's different. It's nobody's business ... Why I don't like him . That is only my business ... ", hissed Bardock. "Well ... I'll probably write him about it. But I would advise you: Tell the other ... that he is there. Otherwise they will be in for a surprise ..."


Bardock nodded. "I'll tell you ..." then he let out a sigh.Why did Vegeta have to be there? He hated him ... Vegeta was to blame ... That was the reason ... He hated him because Vegeta was to blame for his girlfriend's death. "Is that it?" Asked Bardock. "Yes.", Zuhada confirmed. And went back again.




When Zuhada came back into his study, Vegeta was already back. "What is it now?" He asked. Zuhada passed him without a word. Then he opened the file from Group 17 and wrote that Vegeta was there for the next assignment. "What is it now?" Vegeta asked again. Zuhada looked at Vegeta. "I have .... you registered," said Zuhada. Vegeta gave a mean grin. "Fits.", He said. "And when ... do we start?" "I'll notify you."


Vegeta nodded. "Ok ... But I hope that it doesn't take too long.", Then Vegeta went back to the training room. Nappa was waiting there again.




Bardock went back inside. "What was that, darling?" Asked his mother. "Oh nothing ... It was something professional."" Oh ... was it your next assignment? "" Almost ... "and Bardock's face darkened." What is it, boy? "asked Tzuiod." Vegeta ... is ... with us for the next assignment ... "he muttered, clenching his left fist.




So this day passed too.


Bardock's parents went home again that evening. Chilet was home again in the evening. (And what about Toba, Typeroh and Jaliko?)


Toba, Typeroh and Jaliko had the most fun. They spent every day together.




The next day, Bardock went to tell Chilet, Toba, Typeroh and Jaliko that Vegeta will be there for the next job.


First he made his way to Toba, then to Typeroh and finally Jaliko. He was out of luck with Chilet. Because she wasn't at home. So he had to wait for her to come home. (Where do you think Chilet is?)




Chilet was back on "their" uninhabited island.This time she had taken an air mattress with her. With it she swam over the water. After about an hour she was hot enough. (The sun is shining! Has at least 30 ° C.) She swam back to the bank and lay down in the shade ...




So Bardock had had no luck with Chilet. So he had to come back later. But it didn't matter very much either. He wanted to rest a little anyway. He packed up his whole thing and then flew away.


He was on his way to his favorite place. That was where he could rest best. When he landed he threw his things into the bushes and lay down on the sand. (He is in battle uniform.) He just loved lying in the sand and doing nothing. He loved it from childhood. At that time he lived with his parents near the sea.


Bardock had closed his eyes, but suddenly he felt something cold, wet fall on his face. He wiped it off his face and opened his eyes.Chilet stood in front of him, who had splashed water on his face. "What are you doing here?" He asked her and got up hastily. "The question is more, what are you doing here?"


Bardock turned his head to one side. "The first thing I asked you, so ... What are you doing here?" "I discovered this island a few days ago ... And I think it's so beautiful that I thought I'd relax here. And what is with you? ", Chilet crossed her arms over her chest and looked intently at Bardock. "I've known this island for years. I always come here when I need peace and quiet, or some distance ... But that's none of your business. But ... I wanted to see you anyway," said Bardock. "Why did you want him to see me? Have I screwed up something?", Chilet raised an eyebrow in question. "No, you haven't eaten anything up," he reassured her. "It's more about our assignment." "Is it already decided?" "No, but ... we get company. Prince Vegeta will be there." Chilet caught her breath. "What...?How ... why that? ", she asked aghast. Ok, she had nothing against Prince Vegeta, but she didn't want to meet him in the night either." He insisted ...... ", he whispered and looked up at the sky. He paused for a few moments in this position ... Then he moved again and sat down on the sand again. "Doesn't matter ..." he said meekly. "Say ... It may be the wrong moment, but ..." "Chilet began. Bardock looked up at her." What the? "Chilet sat down next to Bardock." Who ... was the woman ... with whom you spoke at the time ...? I mean, before I spoke to you about ... the confirmation. "Bardock looked at Chilet in amazement." You ... overheard? "" No ... I didn't understand anything ... But ... I mean, if you don't want to tell me, then ... don't tell me ... But I would still like to know who it was. "Bardock smiled." It was the queen. " "The Queen? Why? "Bardock laid his back on the sand, crossed his arms behind his head and looked up at the sky."Well ... It wasn't important. It was about Prince Vegeta.", Bardock sighed. "She apologized for him ... But it still doesn't help ... He is, and remains to blame .. Nothing can be changed about that." "What is his fault ..?", Chilet asked carefully . Bardock put his hands over his face. "He's to blame ... for the death of ... Zuma." He almost couldn't pronounce it ... Dead .. Zuma ... She was dead ... And Vegeta was to blame! Bardock was close to tears. But he pulled himself together ... What would it look like if he started crying in front of Chilet? That was not worthy of a general .. So it was called pulling together, which was very difficult for him.


"Who is Zuma ...?" Asked Chilet. "She was with Group 17 before you ... You took her place ..." Chilet nodded. "Oh ..." she said sympathetically. Bardock sat up. A small tear had formed in his eye that rolled down his face. Chilet noticed this and caught the tear. "She meant a lot to you ..." she said and wiped his tear away.Bardock smiled slightly. "Yes ... She ... meant a lot to me ... But ... It's over ... She won't come back ...", Bardock stood up with a jerk. "Why am I telling you all this ??" he asked Chilet. She got up and hugged him. She hugged Bardock lightly. "You can show your feelings ...", she said in a soft voice. Bardock struggled with himself inside. He couldn't suddenly cry. He couldn't show his feelings, could he?


Bardock also closed his arms around Chilet and hugged her too. It was really good for him to be held in his arms. It was different with his mother, she was squeezing him right up against her. But Chilet did very differently. She did it more gently ... Bardock had closed his eyes and wanted this moment to last forever. But then he broke away from her. "I don't deserve that.", He said and turned around.


Why had Bardock suddenly released from the embrace?What had she done to him, or did he not want to show his feelings? "But ... you deserve it.", Chilet said and bowed her head. "You've been through so much ... Why didn't you tell me? I ...", Chilet was suddenly interrupted. "Please don't say anything ... It's very difficult for me to talk about my feelings ... I'm already sad that Zuma is gone, but that's the way it is, and it's over. Nobody can bring her back ... ", Bardock got his things out of the bushes. "I'll go then .. We won't see each other again until Wednesday. So ... until Wednesday.", Said Bardock and turned around and finally flew away.


Chilet watched him go. You would never have thought that he is so sensitive. She always thought that he had no weak points. But by then she was clearly lost. He was sensitive ... very sensitive ... But one thing she wondered about. He had taken her in his arms ... He had hugged her. Chilet's face went a little blush.She would never have dared to dream something like that .. Well, maybe it was just a weak moment for him ... Exactly! That was it! A weak moment! At least that's what Chilet tried to convince herself, but in reality she thought differently about it.




Bardock flew over the city. He noticed Toba at a counter. Bardock landed and walked over to him. "Hello Bardock!" Toba greeted his friend. "Hello ..." said Bardock and looked at Toba. "Why ..." he began. "What do you mean?" Asked Toba. "Why ..... Why does Vegeta have to be there for the next assignment?" "Maybe he wants to kill you?" "If he would do something to Chilet or one of you! I would kill him on the spot ..... . ", whispered Bardock and looked around. "Hopefully nobody else heard that except with Toba and", thought Bardock. "Maybe not kill right away ..." said Toba. "But maybe you could think of something else. I'm sure he wouldn't ... do something like Zuma again."Toba continued." I'm not sure ... He did it on purpose. Just ... Just because I loved Zuma ... Just because ... It was jealousy .. And then he deliberately called me over so that Zuma .. had to fight these damn strong Hiuer alone ... " Toba patted Bardock on the shoulder, "Forget all of that ... Your life goes on. Don't think about what was. But this here and now! "


Bardock nodded wordlessly. His old friend was right, willy-nilly. But he would never be able to forget Zuma. "I'll go again ... until Wednesday, okay?" "Yeah, see you Wednesday!" Said Toba and Bardock
