**Among the stars!**

*Chapter 3.*

Goku approached Vegeta inside the large room that the pair had been using to train in. It was hard to admit, but they were actually getting bored of training in such limited spaces. Vegeta would rather train by himself, unfortunately he had no way of locking Goku out. Bulma clearly wanted to make Vegeta's stay a living hell, he did question what he had done wrong in his past life; then frowned realising he probably did deserve this torment. Goku paused for a moment, watching Vegeta doing press-ups. A mischievous grin planted on his face as he stood in front of Vegeta, holding a basket ball under each arm.

Vegeta glanced up at the grinning simpleton, and let out an audible breath of annoyance as he rose to his feet. Rolling his shoulders back, he quirked a brow at the basket balls Goku was holding. For the past few days now, Goku had been caught with something new. Where the fuckery was he finding this stuff? No one really thought to question it further.  "Hey kakarot. where did you get the balls from?"

"I found them." He shrugged and passed Vegeta one of the balls.

Vegeta wrinkled his nose looking at the ball, then back at Goku who was grinning widely at him. "What is this for?"

"Well, since we can't throw any ki blasts at each other, cos ya know-" he looked around the room whilst twirling his finger, then back at Vegeta's intrigued look. "the ship and all. I thought we could throw these at each other instead."

"Hm. Usually, I'd of threatened to deflate them and shove them down your throat. However, seeing as we don't have anything else to do -other than training." he bounced the ball, and grinned over at Goku. "you're on."

"Alright, so uh...got any idea how we should play this?"

"For fuck-" he pinched the bridge of his nose. Give him strength to resist the urge to throw this bastard out the ship. Of course, it isn't that simple for Goku would simply find his way back in the ship and see it as some form of game. "The goal is simple."

"It is?"

"It is." he acceded and held the ball under his arm, whilst resting his free hand on his hip. "we have to richote the ball off the wall at our opponent as fast as possible." He smirked glancing at Goku who was smiling over at him. He threw the ball against the wall opposite, Goku quickly swerved out of the way as it almost hit him from behind.

"Hey, that almost hit me."

"That's the fucking point!"  He threw the ball again, and cursed himself for of course Goku would dodge the fucking thing again.

"Oh, I get it now. So like this Vegeta?"   He launched the ball opposite, Vegeta ducked as the ball was about to bounce back at him.

"Precisely like that." He grinned widely, perhaps this would be some fun after all.

The pair started to throw the ball towards each other, the pair laughed as they continued to play this simple game. Both breaking out in sweat as they increased the speed in attempts to catch the other out.

"Hey Vegeta, I bet I can throw mine harder than you!" Goku smirked as he threw the ball hard that it almost broke through the metal wall.

Vegeta swiftly moved to the side as the ball skimmed past his nose. He returned the smirk. "Ha! You wish." The pair started to up their game now, as they started to throw the balls at the same time, both ducking and diving whilst the balls bounced to and fro at immense speed.

"hey guys I've got the-" Yamcha had walked in carrying a tray of drinks, such unfortunate timing as one of the balls smacked him on the head at great force causing him to collapse on the ground.
