As the day progressed so did the two warriors training in the mountains. Each fighting at their maximum potential, giving it everything they had. They both would deal out massive amounts of damage that would put any human or pony down with ease. But over the course of this battle the two saiyans began to grow tired and out of breath.

"What's..wrong.Vegeta...Can't continue?" Goku manage to ask in between breaths.

"I'm...fine..you seem..tired...wanna rest?" Vegeta replied

"Nope!" Goku yelled as he vanished then reappeared in front of Vegeta and dealt a heavy blow to his face.

"I can't believe what i'm seeing. These two weren't kidding when they said they were strong...I mean i beileved them when they said they were strong, but not this strong! Thought Rainbow Dash watching the fight from the air and feeling every blow they dealt to each other.

Goku caught Vegeta off guard and got a good shot in on him, kicking him in the back hard enough to send him flying upwards at tremendous speed. As Vegeta yelled to stop himself with his eyes closed and regained composure, he opened his eyes to a blue pegasus staring him in the face, mouth hanging wide open.

"You're..so...AWESOME!!!" Dash yelled resisting the urge to hug him out of sheer coolness.

Vegeta continued to stare then asked, "Why are you out here?"

"weeell, I just wanted to stop by and see how you two were doing and it looks like your A Oka-" Just then Dash was interrupted by Goku grabbing Vegeta by his collar.

"Oh no you don't, your not getting out of this that easy!" Goku said with excitement giving Vegeta one heck of a throw towards the ground burying him under piles of rocks.

Vegeta blasted out of the rubble and ticked off yelled, "Kakarot, what was that?.. couldn't you see I was in the middle of a conversation!?!"

"Well yeah, but you said-"

"I know what I said!" Vegeta yelled while releasing a huge energy blast towards Goku.

"Whoa!" Goku yelled avoiding his attack, not realizing that Dash was almost directly behind him.

"Aw, no!" dash yelled in pain as she tried to evade the blast but couldn't, instead it brushed right up against her side, past her legs and right underneath her wing.

She lost control of her flight and went crashing towards the ground, barely conscious.

Vegeta watched in horror as she fell to the ground, which was because of him being carless. "No..NO!.. HOLD ON!" Vegeta yelled as he flew toward her as fast as he could, grabbing her in mid air and holding her gently while trying not to touch the burned area.

"I think we should call it a day." Goku said landing beside Vegeta and powering down from super saiyan.

Vegeta was silent and wouldn't look at Goku.

"We need to take her back to town and get some help right away." informed Goku in a serious tone.

Vegeta was still silent while he powered down and began to fly towards ponyville.

On the trip back Goku could feel that something was wrong with Vegeta, "He's acting the same way as when trunks died...poor Vegeta." Goku thought watching Vegeta waste no time getting back to ponyville.

Twilight answered the door when Vegeta knocked, "Oh Celestia, what happened?" she asked looking at the wound on Dash.

Vegeta struggled to answer, "A...training accident."

"Well this is some kind of accident." Twilight said, "quick bring her in and put her on my bed, it looks mostly like a bad burn." she continued with the last part echoing from the other room as she got the first aid kit.

As Twilight was taking care of the wound on Dash, Vegeta left the library and Goku didn't try to stop him, he knew what was on his mind.

"Do you have anymore of those beans that you two used to heal yourselves faster." asked Twilight

"No, those were the last two we had." Goku said with a bit of remorse. "How is she?"

"Well she should be fine, she'll be in a lot of pain for awhile but she'll make it." replied Twilight

"That's good to hear. Where is everyone? I thought they would have been here." Goku asked

"Well they were here and we decided to wait on you two to get back but it was taking too long, so they left and I continued to try and find a way to get you guys home." Twilight informed while levitating a book over to her.

"Any luck yet?" asked Goku

"Well..No." Twilight said with a slight smile. "Not even Starswirl the bearded was in this kind of situation."

"Who's that?" Goku asked

"He was an ancient and powerful unicorn wizard, my personal hero you could say." replied Twilight

As Goku and Twilight continued their conversation Vegeta was outside in deep thought over what had happened.

"I didn't mean to hurt her...Darn it, why do I care!.. A TRUE WARRIOR...how many times have I said that." Vegeta thought with anger then sorrow and remorse while staring into space in front of him. "Err, why do I suddenly care what happens to her, why should I care?" Vegeta then had a brief flashback to when Dash said he was awesome, and as he thought of this he looked towards the ground while feelings he hadn't felt in awhile came back to him. "Errr!" Vegeta gritted his teeth trying to figure it out, but kept drawing a blank.

Rainbow Dash began to stir and moan as she tried to get up, as she did this a sharp burning pain shot down her side.

"Your up! that's a good thing." Twilight said with excitement

"Yea but I can hardly move...what happened exactly?" asked Dash looking at the wrap that Twilight put over the wound.

"You were hit by Vegetas' blast... If I would have known that you were behind me I could have-" Goku was saying until interrupted.

"Hey, don't sweat it. I guess I shouldn't have been out there in the first place." Dash said with more joy in her voice and looking around asked, "Where is Vegeta anyways?"

"He's outside, he's not taking this very well." replied Goku

"Oh" said Dash and with a more serious look, "I'm gonna go talk to him." Dash struggled to get up.

"You should really rest." Twilight told her but she didn't listen.

"I'm fine..ow..really." replied dash walking towards the door until Goku stopped her.

"Listen, Vegetas been through some tough times. He just lost his son, and along with other things that have happened with him...well I'm just worried about him." Informed Goku

Dash looked at the floor taking in the realization of what Vegeta had been through, "Thanks, but I really want to talk to him." Dash exited the library to find Vegeta standing off to the side still lost in thought.

"Hey" She said getting closer to Vegeta, but he didn't hear her, "Hello!" she said poking him with her hoof.

Vegeta noticed her this time, and gave her a blank look like he didn't know what to say,or what he could say.

"Listen, I don't blame you at all for what happened. If anything it was my fault." said Dash

This made Vegeta feel even worse, now that she was taking the blame, "No, it was my fault. I was being careless." he said

There was a brief pause, "Let's just say it was no ones fault, now stop beating yourself up and show me how you guys do that energy stuff. Goku said anyone or anypony could be like you guys and I want to learn how." she said starting towards the field outside of ponyville.

This left Vegeta with a feeling of almost happiness. He felt like he had made a friend, this was definitely new for Vegeta. But the feelings of loss that he had would never go away. and he would have to-

"You comin or what!" Dash yelled back towards Vegeta

"Yeah." he said with a smirk as he started her direction, "Great, I'm making friends with ponies. There has got to be something wrong with me. Maybe Kakarot hit me in the head too hard."

                                                                                                        

"So basically this is Earth." said Goku

"No, this is Equestria." replied Twilight

"So the planets called Equestria?" asked Goku

"We've only ever known this place as Equestria." Twilight told him with a bit of annoyance.

"But your planet has to have a name!" Goku told her while laughing slightly.

"Look let me show you how the name Equestria applies." Twilight said while pulling a chalk board out of nowhere and beginning a long explanation of how the title Equestria applies to...well a lot of things, Goku kinda zoned out right at the start.

"How did I get stuck with this!" Goku said in thought wishing he could just leave without upsetting her.

                                                                                                                  

Vegeta and Dash were already in the field and had found a nice place to sit near a tree. It was cool and calming, perfect for a lesson on energy.

"So how should we start?" Dash asked Vegeta who was beginning to put his hands together.

"Well first you need to relax, and have a calm mind." he said

"A calm and relaxed mind?" Dash asked with sarcasm, "You guys didn't seem calm or relaxed in the mountains."

"You need to have a calm mind at first, once you learn how to control your energy it'll be easier and easier to use it in the future." Vegeta informed now closing his eyes.

Rainbow Dash watched intensely not wanting to miss a single detail.

"You have to keep a calm mind, and concentrate on the energy within you." As Vegeta explained this he pulled his hands apart as if he was holding something. "Once you're able feel the energy inside you, just pull it out." As if on queue a small energy ball formed in his hands.

"Whoa." said Dash staring at the glowing sphere in his hands with amazement.

"Now you try." Vegeta said making the energy disappear.

"ok." Dash said quietly, and put her hooves close together like Vegeta had done with his hands.

Dash focused intensely and even began to sweat a bit, but she couldn't seem to make it work.

"Your trying too hard." Vegeta commented with crossed arms, watching the blue Pegasus try and use energy.

"It's too hard." Dash said disappointed in her efforts.

"You've never tried anything like this before. It'll take time... How's your side?" he asked still feeling bad about what he did.

"Sore, but I'm fine." she said standing up with Vegeta. "Let's go check on Twilight, and maybe if we ask nicely spike might make us some dinner.

The word dinner came as a realization to Vegeta on how much time they had spent out in the fields, and as he looked towards ponyville he could see the sun setting behind the mountains.

"Listen Dash, I know you don't want to hear it but..." Vegeta struggled to get an apology out while they were walking back to town. "I never got to say that I was sorry, so I'm sorry...for almost blasting you."

Dash laughed, "Man your terrible with apologies, but I appreciate it." she couldn't help herself, she gave him a big hug then jumped away looking straight at him, "If you ever say anything about what just happened, I'll deny it and call you crazy." she then continued to walk towards town while Vegeta stood still trying to process what happened.

"well that solves it, I've gone crazy." he said out loud as he began to walk towards Dash who was heading back to town. "I'm certainly done trying to make sense of all this, that's for sure. he thought and while walking he went to put his hands in his pockets but then quickly realized that, well, he didn't have pockets! "Maybe I'll have that sewing horse make me some pockets, what was her name...Rarity I think.

Both Dash and Vegeta had arrived at Twilights' library and knocked.

"Come on in!" Goku yelled

As they entered the library they found multiple chalk boards and books strung across the room, and a very bored Goku sitting in a chair.

"Oh hello we were just getting into astrophysics." Twilight said with excitement.

"Yes we were!" Goku said acting like he cared and walking towards Vegeta quickly. "Can I talk to you for a second." he said through his teeth and pointing towards the room he was staying in.

"Sure." Vegeta responded while following Goku into the next room.
