Quote of the Week: -from "Spongebob Squarepants"
Patrick: (pouts) I'll never win an award!
Spongebob: Of course you can! You're Patrick STARR. (eyes turn into stars)
Patrick: (skeptical) That's easy for you to say, you're SpongeBOB.

Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Hello and welcome to another story by yours truely. Today begins our second fan-requested Corner idea. Today's was
by Nekoni who said that we should dress Son & Veggie up in bubblewrap! And so, here we are!
[Son & Veggie sitting next to her, wearing bubblewrap versions of their regular training outfits]
Goku: (grins happily) (pokes his belly causing multiple popping noises to be heard) Heeheehee!
Vegeta: (grumbling) I hate this, I can't move! This stuff better be thick enough to censor my private parts!
It's not flammable is it?
Chuquita: (cocks an eyebrow) Your private parts?
Vegeta: (narrows his eyes at her) You KNOW what I mean. I MEANT THE BUBBLEWRAP!!!!
Chuquita: (nods) Yes, of course. It's the strongest bubblewrap on the whole planet. It's been imported from Spain.
Vegeta: (big smile) Here THAT Kakarrot. It's fancy IMPORTED stuff.
Chuquita: (rolls her eyes)
Goku: [meanwhile is busy hooking an airpump up to his bubblewrap gi] (unbeknownst to Chu & Veggie starts pumping air into
his bubblewrap gi until it becomes bloated several times normal size) Whee!
Chuquita: Our newest fic is called "Under the Big Top", which I originally tried to write sometime last summer around this
time. But I was in a lil slump back then after putting so much effort into the "Little Metal Box of Doom". But I'm feeling
great now and I've got a whole bunch more ideas listed for upcoming fics!
Vegeta: (taps her on the shoulder) Uh, Chu?
Chuquita: What?
Vegeta: [points up to Goku, who's bubblewrap suit has become so filled with air that it is now floating with him still in it
around the studio]
Goku: HI CHU-SAMA! HI LITTLE VEGGIE!!!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) You gotta be kidding me!
Vegeta: [pulls out a dart set] You know I've always wanted to do this...
Chuquita: AHH VEGGIE NO!
Vegeta: [chucks the dart at Goku's bubble-gi, causing him to deflate like a balloon and wildly zoom around the air until all
the air has been lost]
Goku: AHHHHHH!!! [falls to the ground, Veggie catches him] (grins up at Veggie) MY _HERO_! [gives Veggie a big sloppy smooch
on the cheek]
Vegeta: (glows bright red) [arms go limp and in turn drops Son to the floor] ...
Goku: OOP! (rubs his back) Ohhhhh! My spine! [gets up] Say Chu-sama, do you have backups for these, right? [points to his
deflated gi]
Chuquita: Yeah sure, check outback in costume.
Goku: (thumbs-up) Thanks! [runs offstage; pauses infront of Veggie] Hey Veggie? (waves his hand infront of Veggie's face)
Yoo-hoo? You alright?
Vegeta: (still glowing) (small voice) Your "hero"....(squeals) I'M KAKAY'S HERO!!! [zips offstage to the payphone in the wall
while Son shrugs and leaves to get a new bubble-suit]
Chuquita: Who are you calling?
Vegeta: (evil smirk) Onna.
Chuquita: [grabs the phone from him] ARE YOU CRAZY!!! WHY WOULD YOU EVEN _THINK_ ABOUT CALLING CHI-CHI JUST TO TELL HER THAT!
Vegeta: (proudly) To prove who Kakay likes best.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops)
Vegeta: What? I'm going live way past her lifetime and still look the way I do now anyways!
Chuquita: Not in GT you don't.
Vegeta: The whole haircut and mustache thing?
Chuquita: Oh that's not you. You ran away heartbroken when you found out Son-kun had been turned into a child and Bulma made
a Veggie-clone to replace you but changed him to make him more rico suave and to her liking.
Vegeta: (flatly) That's a lie.
Chuquita: Well I like to think that. Besides, I don't really count GT. A lot of people didn't like it, but I guess that does
not mean I won't necessarily like it. From what I heard they ruined Bura and Goten's characters. If I ever write a DBGT fic
the differences between that and the show will be A) Trunks will still be the stinker he was as a chibi B) Bura & Goten will
retain their DBZ personalities, C) Veggie will NOT get his hair cut all ugly and have been involved in a car accident that
causes him to be unable to grow ANY facial hair, and D) Veggie will be along for the ride in outer space with Son-San, Pan,
& Trunks.
Vegeta: (grinning) You'd miss me, wouldn't you Chu?
Chuquita: Like a dog misses eating its own poop, Veggie.
Vegeta: ....was that a compliment?
Goku: (returns in new bubblewrapped outfit) I think so.
Chuquita: Come on! When you think about it I don't know HOW those TOEI people could have missed NOT sending Veggie into outer
space with the others. He has the experience, knows the territory, heck that's all he did for the first 20 years of his life!
He could be their tour guide for crying out loud!
Goku: Veggie IS special, isn't he?
Vegeta: (bright red) .... (little smile) Kakay thinks I'm special? [reaches for the payphone]
Chuquita: (slaps his hand away) STOP THAT!
Vegeta: OWW! (rubs his slapped hand) (shakes other fist in the air) YOU SHALL PAY FOR THIS!!
Goku: (giggles) Heeheehee!

Summary: Goku runs off to join the circus; literally. Now Veggie, Mirai, and Bura have to stop him before he makes the
biggest mistake of his life! Will they convience him to come home or will the saiyajin be stuck doing circus odd-jobs for the
rest of his life? And where does Freeza fit into all this? Find out!

Chuquita: You know what else I don't like about GT? Piccolo's died.
Goku: (wails) PICCY-CHAN? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Thanks a lot Chu.
Chuquita: Don't mention it.
*****************************************************************************************************************************

" I LOVE THE CIRCUS VEGGIE! "
" I don't know, I have a weird feeling about this... "
" Then why don't you hold Mr. Goten's Daddy's hand, Toussan? I'm sure that'll make you both feel oh-so-much better! "
" Bura will you cut it out!!! " Mirai snapped at her. The quartet were standing in-line before several large circus
tents, " You do this EVERYTIME you have them in the same room together! "
" Hai B-chan. " Vegeta nodded, embarassed, " Besides, the great and powerful saiyajin no ouji is great and powerful
enough to stand in line as bravely as the rest of these earth-people. " he snorted, crossing his arms, " I just sensed some
odd chi, that's all. "
" Oh, yeah. I get that when I sniff underneath the couch all the time. " Goku smiled at him, patting Vegeta on the
back.
" That's not what I meant. " the ouji sweatdropped.
" Next! " a familiar voice said as Son-tachi reached the front of the line.
" Hi! " Goku said happily, " We would like 4 tickets please. "
" Yes, will that be two adults and two children? " the green-haired character at the booth said.
" CHILDREN?! WHO ARE YOU CALLING A CHILD!! " Vegeta floated up till he was within eye-to-eye range with the booth
person, who instantly recognized him and yelped.
" Vegeta! "
" What did you say? " the short saiyajin said quickly.
The man pulled his hat down over his eyes, " Nothing. That would be 3 adults and 1 child. " he nervously handed them
the tickets and watched as they left, " Heh-heh-heh....oh boy. "


" Let's sit right here in the front row! " Bura clasped her hands together, " This way we will be right infront of
the action! "
" YEAHHHHHHH!!!! " Goku cheered, then rushed past Bura and quickly grabbed a seat on the far right hand side, one
chair from the end, " This is so exciting! I haven't been to the circus since that one time Chi-chan and I took Gohan when he
was a little baby and one of the clowns cream-pied Chi-Chi and she got so mad she decked him and declared war against all the
clowns in the arena for pie-ing the daughter of Gyu-Mao and one of the top finalists in the Budatucki Tournament and Son
Goku's wife. Then a gigantic pie-fighting-fest erupted. Pie was flinging all over the place. I caught 30 in my mouth and
without even trying. Anyway, after Chi-Chi finished killing most of the clowns the ringmaster kicked us out and banned us
from the circus for at least 10 years. And here I am BACK AGAIN for some more pie-eating pleasure! " he explained to the
others.
" Son-San, Chi-Chi isn't here with us this time. " Mirai pointed out, " WHO in the world do you possibly think would
react to a pie in the face in the same exact manner? "
Goku and Mirai watched as a wet Vegeta kicked a nearby clown through the tent and out onto the pavement outside.
" HOW DARE YOU SQUIRT WATER AT THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI!!! " Vegeta angrily shook his fist in the air
and stomped back to where the others were sitting. He sat down between Mirai and Bura, grumbling.
Mirai sweatdropped and turned back to Goku, " No comment. "
Bura eyed up the way the group was sitting carefully. Her, Vegeta, Mirai, Goku, and empty seat, " Hey Mirai wanna
trade places? " she asked innocently.
" Why? " he narrowed his eyes.
" No reason. "
" Then we shouldn't need to trade. "
" URG! MIRAI JUST TRADE SPOTS WITH ME OH-KAY!! " she screamed.
Mirai reached to get up, then stopped, " Alright, but you better not try any funny business. " he got up and walked
over to his new seat as Bura plopped herself inbetween Goku and Vegeta.
" Aww, I'm not going to try any funny business, silly Mirai! " Bura giggled, then sat back in her new seat,
content.
" So, Kakarrotto? " Vegeta spoke up, " What exactly IS a circus anyway? "
Goku stared at him, wide-eyed and in shock, " Veggie does not know what the circus is??? "
" Not a clue. " the ouji flatly answered him.
A look of excitement sparked in Goku's eyes, " Well, the circus is the most amazing, dazzling thing EVER! They have
elephants and lions and tigers and-- "
" --then why didn't we all just go to the zoo? Heck I could just turn on the TV to see THAT. " Vegeta interupted him.
" You didn't let me fin-ish! " Goku giggled, then felt something tug him downward.
" You know if I'm in the way of your conversation Mr. Goten's Daddy you just say so, oh-kay? " Bura smiled at him.
" Umm, no thanks I'm fine really. " he responded.
" Hmm. " Bura said with frustation, then pepped up, " You know what would be much better is if Toussan went over to
that empty seat over there so you two could continue talking about whatever it is you were talking about without anyone
interupting you. " she patted him on the hand, " Wouldn't that be nice? Sitting next to your little buddy like that? " Bura
said warmly.
" Buu-rahh.. " Mirai gritted his teeth warningly.
" Well... " Vegeta said uneasily.
" VEGGIEVEGGIE SIT WITH ME!!! " Goku squealed. The ouji's face turned bright red. He shook it off.
" Heh-heh-heh. " Vegeta laughed nervously, then settled down, " No Kakarrot, I'm just fine where I'm sitting now. "
" No you're not! Look at you you're all jittery and nervous. " Bura pouted, then pulled Vegeta out of his seat and
led him over to the end of the row, " Here. " she sat him down at the empty seat, " You'll be much more comfortable with
Mr. Goten's Daddy here to protect you right nextdoor. "
Vegeta glanced to his left to see Goku grinning anxiously at him, his hands shaking as if badly needing to hug
something.
" Little Veggie... "
Vegeta quickly turned his head back towards the eisle again, only mildly glowing. The seating arrangement was now
empty seats, Mirai, empty seat, Bura, Goku, and Vegeta.
" BUU-RAH! " Mirai growled at her.
" Mirai. " she said smoothly, then gawked.
Mirai blinked, " What? "
" Excuse me young man. " a round voice came from behind him. Mirai looked over his shoulder to see 6 of the largest,
fattest people he had ever seen, " Is anyone sitting here. "
" Uhh-- " before Mirai could protest he found himself squashed between two of the large strangers, " Ugh... "
" You know Mirai, 6 out of 10 people in America are overweight. " Bura smirked.
" Shutup. " Mirai retorted.
" But Bura we're not even IN Am-- "
" Hush Mr. Goten's Daddy. " she interupted him. Goku shrugged, then turned to Vegeta.
" Now where was I? " Goku scratched his head.
" You were explaining to me about this "circus" thing. " Vegeta answered.
" Oh yeah! The circus is a magical beautiful place filled with lotsa neon lights and people wearing pretty costumes
who do fabulous stunts just for fun-lovin lil saiyajins like us! " Goku said happily.
" ... " the ouji stared at him, then blinked, " Huh? "
" AWW VEGGIE! " Goku gave the smaller saiyajin a hug, " You are such a silly! "
" PEANUTS! POPCORN! " a chubby pink pointy-earred man wearing a hot-dog seller's outfit shouted from the stairs.
" OOH! ME! ME! " Goku waved his arm in the air, still hugging the once again bright red faced ouji with the other arm
" How much and what of do ya want? " he asked, standing infront of them.
" Umm, oh-kay, Do--dodo-rita--do-- " Goku tried to focus on the man's nametag, " I'll have 3 tubs of popcorn Doodee!
Extra butter please! " he grinned widely. The man sweatdropped at Goku's pronounciation.
" Doodee? " the excess blood rushed out of Vegeta's face returning it to normal color. He looked up at the person,
" Hey! You look just like-- "
::VEGETA!? WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?!:: the man gulped, then shoved his whole carrier of food on Goku's lap, " Here ya
go sir, you and your friend enjoy the snacks! Bye! " he zipped off up the stairs.
Goku and Vegeta blinked at the man, then at each other, confused.
" Well, that was very nice of him, giving us the whole thing like that. " Goku smiled, " Veggie wanna share some
peanuts with me? " he offered.
" Uh, no--no thanks Kakarrot. " Vegeta said, sitting back.
" Ya know what peanuts remind me of? " the larger saiyajin said teasingly.
" No, I'm not going to satisfy your nagging with an answer. " Vegeta crossed his arms.
" They remind me of Veggie cuz he's got a hard outer coating! " Goku cracked open the peanut. Vegeta nodded proudly.
" Why thank you Kakarrotto, that was very nice of you. "
" AND after you rip off a their outer coating and throw it away you can take the cold hard little peanut hearts and
mush 'um all up into creamy peanut butter and put sugar and sweetners in 'um and then slap them on a piece of bread, add
grape jelly and eat 'um all yup so they taste good and YUMMY! " Goku popped the peanuts in his mouth.
Vegeta sat there next to him as if Goku had just somehow summed up the prince's entire life in some type of twisted
food analogy, a look of mortified shock on his face.
" I DO feel like peanut butter... " Vegeta said weakly.
Goku giggled as he leaned his face infront of the ouji's, " And who's your grape jelly? "
" You are Kakarrot. " he groaned, then hung his head.
" LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AND SAIYAJINS ALIKE! " the ringleader, who was wearing a bad toupée and a red outfit along
with a red hat tipped over his face, " WE'D LIKE TO WELCOME YOU TO THE 1ST EVER INTERPLANETARY CIRCUS! " he said through his
megaphone. The audiance cheered.
Vegeta blinked, " Kakarrotto did he just say saiyajins? "
" Little Veggie shh! " Goku shhed him, " The show is starting! "
The gang, well, Goku and Bura anyway, watched in awe as the circus performers paraded elephants, tigers, and lions
around the ring. Vegeta shook his head in disgust and Mirai was so squashed between the two strangers he couldn't even see.
The clowns could be seen coming in from the stands. The rotund people sitting around Mirai gasped in awe and ran after one of
the clowns, allowing Mirai to breathe. He got up and sat one seat over.
" Why hello little boy, would you like to sniff my flower? " Mirai took one look at the clown and shrieked.
" AHHH! " he grabbed Bura & clutched her tight, " Buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-BURA! CLOWNS!!! "
" Yes..that's nice..not let go... " Bura grumbled as she got out of Mirai's grasp, " Ohh! Mirai that hurt! "
" Bura, I can't stay here! There's CLOWNS!!! " Mirai said, terrified.
" What's so bad about clowns? " Bura asked, then smiled, " They make people happy! "
" Happy? I'm not happy? Do I look happy? Cuz I'm not! " he grabbed her by her jacket, " Bura, ever since I was little
I've had this inate fear of clowns! Oh it was horrible! One year Kaasan had scheduled to have a clown at my birthday party
and when he showed up, it turned out to be one of the ANDROIDS IN DISGUISE!!! HE BLEW UP MY PRESENTS! IF IT WASN'T FOR GOHAN
HE WOULD HAVE GOT ME TOO!! "
" But these aren't androids, they're CLOWNS! Regular CLOWNS!! " Bura shouted.
" They're EVIL...evil pure and simple! " Mirai shivered from under his chair.
" Evil? What's evil? " Goku blinked.
" Your friend seems to be afraid? Hahahaha! " one of the clowns laughed at Mirai. He looked down at Goku and Vegeta,
" Would you like a pie my short compiedre? " he said goofily to the ouji.
" Not in this lifetime, bub. " Vegeta glared at him. The clown laughed and smushed a whipped cream pie in the ouji's
face anyway.
" There! Now doesn't that make you feel all better? " the clown grinned. Vegeta snarled, then sent a huge ki ball
at the clown, blasting his head off. Goku looked on, devestated.
" Now that you mention it, yes, I do feel better. " the ouji smiled.
" VEH-GEE! " Goku cried as the headless clown continued to wobble about the stadium, " How could you!.....that was
such a good pie too. "
Vegeta sweatdropped. Goku grabbed a chunk of the whipped cream and stuffed it in his mouth, " Baka. "
" For our next act I will need a volunteer from the audiance! " the ever-familiar ringmaster announced. Goku grinned
excitedly and waved his arms in the air.
" ME ME ME ME ME ME ME!!! "
" YOU! " the man pointed at him.
" Eeeeeee! " Goku squealed with joy, jumping out of his seat and dashing down the stairs to the center ring. Vegeta
narrowed his eyes at the ringmaster, then followed Goku down.
" Now young man, what is your name? " the ringmaster said calmly.
" I'M SON GOKU!! " he screamed happily at the top of his lungs, nearly frying the ringmaster's ears not to mention
the people in the audiance.
" Umm, right. Of course you are. " the ringmaster rubbed is ears in pain, " And who is your friend here? I don't
remember calling down more than one person. " he pointed to Vegeta.
" I'm here to supervise. " Vegeta glared at him, his arms folded in regular fashion.
" Supervise, eh? " the ringmaster cocked an eyebrow, " Well maybe we'll let you be the victim, err, volunteer in the
next trick, oh-kay Bobo? "
Vegeta's eyes shot wide open, " What did you just call me? "
" Clairece! THE CASE! " he shouted as a girl came onto the stage pushing a large box, which looked more like 3 boxes
one ontop of the other. She bowed, then exited, " Thank you Clairece, that was magnificiant! " the ringmaster clapped for
her. He turned back to the saiyajins, " Now boys, this looks like an ordinary box to you, correct? "
" Yes? " Goku said eagerly, waiting for a response.
" Well, it's not just ordinary, it's maaaaagicallll. " he wiggled his fingers in the air. Goku's eyes widened into
two big sparkily black orbs.
" Maaaaaagicallll? " the large saiyajin grinned.
" Hai. " the ringmaster opened a door on the top, middle, and bottom of the box, exposing three seperate chambers,
" You see, this box is very special. It can seperate the body, then put it back together. "
Vegeta looked at the box suspicously, then noticed 3 sharp square objects who looked like sharp kitchen knives,
" And what are those? "
" Separators. " the man took one out and held it infront of the ouji's face.
" Kakarrot I don't think it would be wise for you to do this. Looks unsafe. " Vegeta cringed at the pointed object
infront of him.
" What'd you say little Veggie? " Goku called out to him from inside the box. Vegeta sweatdropped. Goku held up the
other 2 separators, " Hey Mister Ringmaster! What do I do with these? "
" Give them to me. " the saiyajin did so. The ringmaster placed the separators ontop of the box, " AND NOW LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN! YOU WILL SEE A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME FEAT! I WILL SLICE THIS MAN IN THREE PIECES AND PUT HIM BACK TOGETHER AGAIN
WITHIN SECONDS! "
" YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! " the audiance cheered. Vegeta gulped.
" Kakarrotto you get out of there RIGHT NOW!! " he shouted at the larger saiyajin, worried.
" But Veggie, I'm having fun! " Goku whined.
" THIS IS NOT FUN! HE'S GOING TO TRY TO KILL YOU AND-- "
" *SLAM*! " the ringmaster closed the door to Goku's box shut, " Don't talk to the volunteer, we wouldn't want your
foolish worrying to cause me to mess up. " he snickered at the ouji.
" AHH! MR. GOTEN'S DADDY!! " Bura gasped from the stands.
" Step back please. " the ringmaster said to Vegeta, who bit his lip and did so.
" You touch a hair on Kaka-chan's head and I'll beat you into the ground! " he threatened the ringmaster, who only
shrugged and pushed one of the separators headlong through the box. Vegeta's jaw dropped to the floor.
" ONE! " he shoved the middle one in, " TWO! "
Vegeta and Bura fainted.
" THREE! "
The crowd sat on the edge of their sets in wonder. The ringmaster knocked on the top box, " How ya feeling in there
Son? "
" I feel tingly! " Goku's voice responded.
" GOOD! At least we know it's working. " several assistants entered the ring, " Boys I would like you to move each
box to a different position on the stand. "
By the time they were finished the top was on the bottom, the bottom in the middle and the middle on top, " There.
Now wait here boys I'll still need you. " he ordered.
" Ohhhhh.... " Vegeta groaned, sitting up, " I just had a terrible nightmare. " he held the sides of his head, then
noticed the box and yelped, " AHH! KAKARROTTO! " he lept to his feet and banged on the top box.
" Veggie? " a voice came from below him. The ouji froze, then bent down on his knees next to the bottom box.
" Ka--Kakarrot? "
" Veggie were are you? My skin feels all tingly. " Goku said from inside. Vegeta grabbed the bottom door and flung it
open to reveal the bigger saiyajin's head.
" AAUGH!!! " he fell back in shock.
" Hey Veggie, how'd I get down here? " Goku said, oblivious, " What happened? I--hey! " he realized where he was,
" Lookit me! This is so cool! I'm portable now! "
" Ahhhh...AAAhhhhh... " Vegeta sat up, " Kakayyyyyyyy. " he panicked.
The ringmaster opened the other doors to reveal the other chunks of Goku's body that had been sliced.
" Wow! Look up there! It's my feet! " Goku giggled, then wiggled his fingers in the top box, " Hello little feet! "
Both the ringmaster and Vegeta sweatdropped this time.
" YOU PUT HIM BACK TOGETHER RIGHT NOW!!! " Vegeta screamed, shaking the ringmaster back and forth by the collar.
" Aww, what's the matter, worried about your precious bubble-headed friend? " the ringmaster mocked him.
" THE WORD IS BUDDY!! MY _BIG_ _BUDDY_! NOW-PUT-HIM-BACK-IN-ONE-PIECE-BEFORE-I-KILL-YOU!!!! "
" Alright. Alright. " the ringmaster nodded. Vegeta jumped down. He walked past the ouji and closed the 3 doors,
" Boys, the boxes, if you will. "
His assistants quickly removed all three boxes and placed them in their previous alignment.
" Would you care to remove the separators from your "Big Buddy"? " he smirked.
Vegeta snarled, " Gladly. " he ripped out the separators and flung open the doors. Vegeta gawked to see Goku now in
one piece and looking as if he had never even been sliced in the first place.
" ... " Goku blinked at his surroundings as he stepped out of the box, " That had to be.....THE MOST FUNNEST THING
EVER!! " he hooted.
Vegeta fell to the ground animé style, " Kakarrotto, " he got up, " You're, oh-kay? "
" Never felt better little Veggie! " Goku gave the ouji a big hug. Vegeta's face glowed bright red, " But THANK YOU
for being conserned about my well being for it shows how much you CARE about me! " he chuckled.
" I DO NOT!! " Vegeta yelled at him, his face still glowing.
" Silly little buddy who is in denial about his emotions. " Goku let go of him. Vegeta dusted himself off and let out
a small giggle, then shook it away before anymore could escape.
" And now for our next 'cutting edge' act, we shall slice this small saiyajin prince in HALF. " the ringmaster
announced over his megaphone. Vegeta froze.
" What? "
" Hop in. " the ringmaster was standing infront of an opened sideways box containing a whole for a head and two for
legs and feet.
" WHAT ARE YOU, NUTS! " Vegeta yelled, " I WOULDN'T CLIMB IN THERE IF YOU PAID ME YOU SADISTIC FREAK!!! "
" No one is sawing Veggie in half! " Goku cried, grabbing the short ouji.
" That's right! " Vegeta agreed, nodding.
" Ahh, but you see, I won't be the one sawing him in half. " the ringmaster shook his head, " YOU will! " he grinned
at Goku, handing him the saw.
Vegeta's face turned a pale green color, " Kakarrot sawing me in half--THAT'S EVEN WORSE!! " he screamed up at the
ceiling.
" I won't be HURTING Veggie, will I? " Goku asked him, worried.
" Nonsense, he won't feel a thing. " the ringmaster patted him on the back, " And afterward we'll put him back
together no problem. "
" I don't think Veggie wants me to it. He's scares so easily you know. " Goku sniffled at the nervous ouji, who
bolted to attention.
" SCARED!? I'M NOT SCARED IF THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK KAKARROTTO! I JUST DON'T WANT TO _DIE_ FROM THIS STUPID STUNT!
THAT'S ALL!!! " Vegeta roared angrily.
" Then why don't you get in the box, 'little buddy'. " the ringmaster teased. Vegeta narrowed his eyes and hopped in
it.
" Fine. But don't you DARE call me by that name! That phrase is reserved for Kakarrotto's usage ONLY! " he warned.
The ringmaster closed the box, leaving Vegeta's head and the bottom half of his legs exposed outside the box, " My
newest assistant Son Goku will now attempt to chop his little friend in half--BLINDFOLDED!!! "
Vegeta gasped.
" Now why would you wanna BLINDFOLD him? That's not very spectacular. " Goku said, confused.
" Not HIM you knucklehead! I'm blindfolding YOU! " the ringmaster gritted through his teeth.
Goku thought for a moment, " ...OHHHHHHHH. K! " he chirped. The ringmaster pulled a thick blue hankerchief out of his
pocket and wrapped it around the saiyajin's eyes, then led him behind Vegeta's box.
" Now I want you to hold the saw back real hard and then aim for the middle! "
" Yes sir! " Goku giggled, saluting him, he flung the saw down at Vegeta's head. The ouji screamed.


" MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! "
" Mom, you oh-kay? " Gohan asked Chi-Chi. The remaining members of the Son family were seated at the kitchen table,
eating.
" What? "
" You just burst out laughing maniacally for no good reason. " he said, worried.
" Hmm, I did? Strange....I felt like something incredibly and wonderfully lucky was about to happen to me somewhere."
she scratched her head. She shrugged, " Oh well! "


" Ehhh...ehhhhhhHHhhh... " Vegeta squinted his eyes shut, tears flowing down his cheeks. He opened one eye to see the
saw centimeters from his neck.
Goku lifted the bandana off one of his eyes and snickered at him, " Just playing little Veggie! " he removed the saw,
" I know where you are, I can sense your chi, remember? "
" Oh...yeah... " Vegeta let out a deep breath. Goku replaced the bandana over his eyes and this time aimed for the
mid-section of the box. He slowly started sawwing away at it. Vegeta bent his head over to watch. Goku got halfway down when
all of a sudden Vegeta wailed, " AHHHHH!!! KAKARROTTO STOP THAT HURTS!!! "
" Huh? " Goku blinked, then removed the saw and lifted the bandana to see he had almost sliced Vegeta's stomach open,
" OH NO LITTLE VEGGIE! " he gasped.
" Heh-heh-heh, whoops. " the ringmaster took the saw away from Goku, " Wrong saw. "
" "wrong saw" he says, HA! " Vegeta laughed nervously, trying to keep from passing out again.
" Here, this is the right saw. " the ringmaster handed a different one to Goku.
" Are you sure? I, I don't think I wanna do this anymore. What if Veggie gets really hurt? I can't hurt Veggie! He's
my little buddy! In fact he's been my little buddy for 22 YEARS! I could never bring my heart to do such a thing. " he
sniffled, " Poor sweet lil Veggie 'o mine. "
" Hmm. " Vegeta smiled contently.
" FINE! I'LL DO IT! " the ringmaster pushed him out of the way and sliced the box in one chop.
" VEGGIE! " Goku shrieked in horror.
" KAKA-CHAN!!! " Vegeta cried.
" THERE! You big baby! " the ringmaster snapped at Goku, " NOW AUDIANCE! AS YOU CAN SEE THIS MAN HAS BEEN CHOPPED
INTO TWO SEPERATE PIECES! " Goku went to open the top to were Vegeta's feet were, " DON'T TOUCH THAT! " he snapped again.
Goku yelped and pulled away, " NOW I SHALL RE-UNITE THE PIECES AND MAKE THIS SAIYAJIN WHOLE AGAIN! " the ringmaster pressed
the two sides back together, then lifted the top to reveal Vegeta hadn't a scratch on him.
" Veggie? " Goku marvelled, " VEGGIE!!! " he sobbed happily, grabbing the ouji and holding him up, " OH VEGGIE YOU
HAD ME SO SCARED! What was it like did it hurt? I'm so sorry that was mean of me to try to chop you in pieces like that! "
he squeezed Vegeta tightly, " And Mister Ringmaster? " Goku narrowed his eyes, then perked up, " THAT WAS AMAZING!!! "
" Really? You think so? "
" YEAH! That was great! I thought Veggie was a goner and then you come with your magic and the lights and the poof;
Veggie is a-live and well! "
" Say, how would you like to join us then? " the ringmaster said sneakily while Goku poked at Vegeta's belly in
search of the spot the saw had gone through, " I'm sure you would make a wonderful performer yourself. You're so physically
fit, you know. "
" Can I be a lion tamer? " Goku's eyes widened.
" You can be ANYTHING you like. "
" Ooohhh, I do like kitties... " Goku went off into a daydream...


:::" WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! " the saiyajin squealed as he rode one of the lions around the ring while hearding the
others and wearing a snazzy lion-tamer's uniform, " YAH MULE! YAH! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I LOVE THE CIRCUS! ":::


" I WANNA RIDE THE LION!!! " Goku grinned.
" NO YOU DON'T! " he paused, then looked down at the source of the protest in his arms.
" Kakarrotto are you MAD! From what I've seen this circus junk is a bunch of cheap tricks! You're too good to get
your baka self mixed up in it! " Vegeta shouted.
" But Veggie it's fun. " Goku said, confused.
" IT'S _NOT_ FUN! I WON'T LET YOU DO IT AND I BET EVEN THAT ONNA OF YOURS WOULD AGREE WITH ME ON THAT!!! IT'S STUPID
AND IT'S A WASTE OF YOUR TIME! " he yelled in protest.
" Veggie sounds like Chi-chan. " Goku pouted. The ouji froze, then narrowed his eyes.
" Don't say that. " he said flatly.
" But you do-- "
" --I DON'T CARE! " Vegeta hopped to the floor, " You don't wanna work for that sleaze-bucket, do you Kakay? " he
smiled hopefully, " If you want to work for someone, you should come work for me. " he smirked, " I'll give you ANY job at
Capsule Corp you want. Heck if I have to fire someone to do that, then that's oh-kay too. "
" But Veggie I wanna tame the lions. " Goku said.
" Why tame the lions when you can be Capsule Corp's WATERBED INSPECTOR? " he said sneakily. Goku's eyes widened.
" Waterbed inspector??? "
" Yeah, you get to jump on all the waterbeds in the house to check for their, uh, water-ability. " Vegeta explained.
" YAY--hey! Veggie your room's the only one with a waterbed in it! " Goku narrowed his eyes at the ouji.
" So it is, so it is. " Vegeta said innocently, " I did not know that. "
" OOH! LITTLE VEGGIE DON'T TRICK ME! I KNOW WHAT I WANNA DO! " he said, then smiled, " And I wanna be a lion tamer
in Mister Ringmaster's CIRCUS! "
" Consider it done! " the ringmaster shook his hand, " You can start tommorow! We're going to be packing up for the
next show in a couple days so I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to get some personal items packed up. "
" Packing up? " Goku said uneasily, " Wha, what do you mean? "
" I mean we'll be leaving! We do shows all over the universe! You don't expect us to stay here all the time do you?
We wouldn't make any money that way! " he scoffed.
" Di--did you say all over the UNIVERSE!! " Goku gawked, stepping back, " I, I can't do that! Everyone'll miss me! "
he said, then realized something else, " AND LITTLE VEGGIE! " he turned to the already aggitated ouji who still had his arms
crossed and was now tapping one finger on the other arm to slow his nerves, " I cannot leave little Veggie, we--we're
connected. Me and Veggie have a special bond me made when we used those fusion earrings. He's my right half. I can't just
LEAVE him here! " Goku said, then gulped, " Who knows what kind of horrible things Veggie is capable of being suckered into
without me to guide him between what is good and bad? " he bit his lip. He wailed, " LET ME TAKE HIM TOO!!! "
Vegeta sweatdropped.
" No, I'm sorry. Bobo will only get in the way if we were to bring HIM along. " the ringmaster shook his head.
" His NAME is VEGGIE. " Goku corrected him.
" Actually, it's Vegeta. " the ouji said.
" Little Veggie--SHUSH! I am talking! " Goku whispered loudly. He turned back to the ringmaster, " Are you SURE my
little Veggie can't come with me? He won't me any trouble. He's so little you won't even notice he's there! " the large
saiyajin begged.
" Nope. " the ringleader answered bluntly.
Goku hung his head sadly, " Ohhhhh...poor little Veggie 'o mine. I do love him so. "
" REALLY Kakay? " Vegeta said in awe w/big sparkily eyes.
" REALLY Veggie. " Goku smiled.
" *sniffle* Oh KAKAY!!! " the ouji ran towards him, then screeched to a halt as the ringmaster shoved a piece of
paper infront of Goku's face.
" Here, sign this in your own blood. " he said quickly.
" My WHAT?! " Goku pulled a double-take. The ringleader poked Goku's finger, then smushed it on the paper revealing
a little blood mark, " Oww! That hurt! " Goku stuck the finger in his mouth to relieve the pain.
" Very good. " the ringmaster rolled the paper up and stuck it in his pocket, " Now say goodbye to "Veggie". "
Goku gulped and turned towards Vegeta, nervous about what type of reaction he would get. The ouji was staring at the
ground, " Uhh, Veggie? YIPE! "
The short saiyajin forcefully grabbed one of Goku's arms and stared up at him, " Kakarrotto if he dare touches a hair
on your head Onna and I will hunt him down and beat him into oblivion. Is that clear? "
" Silly Veggie, I'm not going to be gone THAT long. " Goku chuckled, then frowned and glanced at the ouji's gloves,
" Hey Veggie? "
" What. "
" Veggie here, can I have your right glove? " Goku asked, smiling.
" Why? " Vegeta said suspicously.
" Wh--oh Veggie shush! " Goku took the ouji's right glove off and took his own right blue wristband off. He put the
ouji's glove on his now empty hand and wrapped his missing wristband around Vegeta's other hand, " There. Now Veggie has a
reason to come after me. " he giggled.
Vegeta looked down at the wristband, " You think I'm going to miss you and you're trying to give me some lame excuse
to chase you down so I don't directly look like I desperately need to have you constantly around me. "
" Heeheehee, yes. " Goku grinned.
" ... " Vegeta blinked in awe, " Kakarrot you are a genius. "
" WHEE! " the larger saiyajin cheered, " VEGGIE THINKS I'M A GENIUS! " he did a little victory dance, then paused,
" And now we match each other! Look! " he held out his hands. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" More like we're in some bizarre way mirror images of each other. " he mumbled.
" Wow Veggie that was deep. " Goku said, impressed.
" You know what's even deeper? " a voice said from behind them. Goku turned around just as the ringmaster plunked a
safari hat on the saiyajin's head, " Space! "
Goku looked up at his hat with excitement, " WOOOO! LOOKIT ME! I'M SAFARI-BOY!!....I can't wait! " he said, then
glanced over at Vegeta, " You know Veggie, I'm surprised you're even letting me go on this lil trip by myself without trying
to attack me and keep me as far away from leaving as possible. "
" Yes, it is surprising, isn't it. " Vegeta smirked.
" Here, I'll show you to your dressing room. " the ringmaster said, leading Goku offstage. He paused, then turned to
the audiance, " 15 MINUTE INTERMISSION EVERYBODY! "
" AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.... " the audiance said sadly, then disapated out into the lobbys.
" Cya soon Veggie! " Goku said happily.
Vegeta waved back, " Hai Kakarrotto, " he smiled, then narrowed his eyes, " Sooner than you think. "
Mirai and Bura ran down to the center ring.
" TOUSSAN-CHAN ARE YOU CRAZY!! " Bura erupted, " YOU LOVE MR. GOTEN'S DADDY! YOU CAN'T JUST LET THAT MEANIE TAKE HIM
AWAY FROM YOU LIKE THAT!!! "
" I'm not. " Vegeta calmly replied.
" Huh? " Bura blinked, " Wha, what do you mean? "
" It's all part of my plan B-chan. I will simply let this Circus-Man take Kakarrotto into space, yet secretly follow
them and then when Kakay's sobbing about being lost in some unknown galaxy cleaning up Elephant Poop I will heroically jump
in, beat up that ringmaster and the rest of his gang, save Kakay and be deemed the ultimate hero in his eyes. " Vegeta
smirked, " Then we'll be able to tour the universe together without any intrusions! " he let out a small embarassed giggle,
" I know this great bed-n-breakfast place near Jupiter.... " Vegeta mused, trailing off.
" How romantic! " Bura sighed dreamily. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Yeah, I think you're forgetting something. " Mirai said skeptically.
" The roses... " Bura mused, still day-dreaming.
" Toussan you need a spaceship to get into space. " Mirai crossed his arms, " It's just not logical. Why-- "
" --we have one on the front lawn. " Vegeta finished.
" WHAT?! " both Bura and Mirai snapped to attention.
" The old gravity room doubles as a spaceship. " Vegeta smirked, " What do you think I used back when I spent that
entire year in deep space searching for Kakarrot? "
" When was that? " Mirai asked, baffled.
" Before I met you and WAY before Bura was born. " Vegeta nodded, " I hijacked it from Onna the first time! " he
grinned widely.
" You mean it's CHI-CHI'S spaceship! " Mirai gawked.
" It was SUPPOSEDLY hers, but she never used it--so I took it. " Vegeta shrugged it off like it was nothing.
" Just like with Son-San. " Mirai sweatdropped.
" Exactly! " Vegeta said proudly, " NOW WHO WANTS TO SAVE KAKAY? "
" I DO!! " Bura squealed.
" I guess I don't have a choice. " Mirai shook his head, " Can't leave you in deep space with Bura messing with your
head.... " he paused, " Wait--shouldn't we tell Chi-Chi and Gohan about this? I mean, don't they have a right to know? "
Bura and Vegeta stared at each other.
" ... "
" ... "
" NAH! " they shouted at once.
" NOW--INTO DEEP SPACE--AWAY! " Vegeta shouted, pointing off into the distance.
" YAY! " Bura cheered as they ran off out of the tent.
Mirai groaned, then hung his head, " Why me. "

Vegeta: (smirks) You know Kakarrotto, if you keep that up you're not going to have anything left to protect you from being

Chuquita: (shrugs) Beats me, maybe he just likes pink.
Vegeta: Hmmm, (thinks) (closes his eyes) KAKARROTTO!
Goku: (snaps out of it) Veggie?!
Vegeta: You are NOT to pop another one of my bubbles, IS THAT _CLEAR_? (opens one eye)
*POP*!
Vegeta: AHH! [closes eye] STOP THAT!!
Goku: Sorry Veggie, it was wrong. I couldn't help it. I will only pop my own bubbles from now on.
Vegeta: Good. (opens both eyes & leans back in his chair)
*POP-POP-POP-POP-POP-POP-POP-POP*!!!!!
Vegeta: [looks down at his completely popped out stomach] (roars) KAKARROTTO WHAT IS IT NOW!!!
Goku: (turning the other way) Sorry, I can't control it. Di--did I mention I like what you've done with your eyes?
Vegeta: ... (to Chu) Change them back.
Chuquita: (shrugs) [zaps Veggie's eyes black again] Better?
Vegeta: Yes. (grabs little notebook in back bubble-pocket) Note to self; pink eyes entice Kakarrotto to pop bubbles.
Goku: (back to his normal cheery self) Bubbles are fun Veggie!
Vegeta: (dryly) I'm sure they are, Kakarrot.
Chuquita: Until Part 2 everybody! Later!
Goku: May all bubbles in your life pop with consistancy.
Vegeta: (flatly) Way to go Kakarrot.
Goku: (sweetly) Why thank you Veggie!
Vegeta: Heh....
