ZY: Hi. Sorry for not working on my other story Heart of Chocolate, but this story's been nagging at my brain for a while. So, here's my DBZ story. Note: This is an AU of the main DBZ story line.

Touch of Blue and Red DBZ Ch1: Purple
}i{ }i{
The leader of the fearsome Ginyu Force was not in a good mood. Every member of Ginyu's team just had their yearly medical exam, all of whom had something that they needed to improve on healthwise. Recoome needed to cut back on the sweets due to having his blood sugar level through the roof, Guldo needed to spend more time working out due to being a bit overweight for his species, Burter needed to increase his intake of vitamins (1) due to not eating enough greens, and Ginyu needed to drink more milk due to a calcium deficiency (2). Okay, yea, all of them needed to work on something, but those were nothing too new to Ginyu. Something else was putting Ginyu in a bad mood, and that something went by the name of Jeice, whom was currently sitting nervously in a chair in front of the examining doctor.
The teal skinned, blue haired, female doctor with bright red eyes, and wearing a white cloak handed Jeice a silver pill bottle and stated "Take one when you wake up and one before you go to sleep. I would also recommend that you also drink one vitamin tonic per day." Jeice looked at the pill bottle after the doctor finished talking, he was feeling very uncomfortable about having to be told this in front of his teammates. Guldo was the one to ask "Umm, Doc, why do the rest of us have to be here when all you're doing to Jeice is telling him to take some nutrient pills?" The doctor merely glanced at the other members of the Ginyu Force and stated "I only asked for the Captain to be here, not all of you." Ginyu immediately stated "No offense Doctor, but when it concerns one member of the Ginyu Force then it concerns all of us."
The doctor sighed, looked at her data-pad, and stated "I suppose you're right in a way. This will somewhat mess with your team dynamics." Jeice gulped and looked at the ground, he knew what the doctor was going to say and knew that this would eventually happen. The doctor payed no mind to Jeice's uneasiness, or the rest of the team, when she said "At this stage, I'm required to tell the leader of the team that Jeice not be permitted to enter a combative situation." Even though the team knew that this was coming, they still couldn't hold back their dismay. The doctor got annoyed with the "Elite Fighting Team" and stated loudly in the same annoyed tone "Listen, it's regulations that fighters in Jeice's condition not be permitted to be in any type of combat, no matter what." The team immediately went quiet. The doctor looked at Ginyu and stated "Captain, I know that the Ginyu Force is a fighting team, so I would suggest that you keep him away from combat. Keep him on light recons and simple missions, understand?" Ginyu nodded sourly and said that he understood. This was the reason why Ginyu was a bad mood
}i{ }i{
As the team left the medical wing, Jeice stated to the captain that he was sorry. Ginyu stated "Jeice quit apologizing, it was bound to happen eventually." Jeice looked at the pill bottle and stated sadly "But I didn' thing it would be so soon." Burter placed a hand on Jeice's shoulder, the hand practically covering the red skinned teammate's shoulder. Jeice looked up at the tallest member of the Ginyu Force, Burter gave his shorter teammate a soft smile and said "Don't worry about not being able to fight, I'm sure you're going to be just fine. We'll throw in some extra hits for you if it makes you feel better." Jeice smiled back at his friend. Captain Ginyu gave an obvious cough in order to get the two's attention, which it did. Ginyu stated "In any case. Burter, you make sure that Jeice takes his meds." Burter immediately squeaked in a "Why me?" Ginyu stated in a commanding tone "Two reasons; one, you and Jeice share a room, and two, you're half the reason Jeice is even in this condition." Both the Azure Hurricane and the Red Magma's cheeks started to change colors and both were rubbing the back of their necks. The captain was right. Still with color on his cheeks, Jeice told Burter "If it makes ya feel better mate, I'll remind ya ta eat your greens. Ya know, so it's like we're motivatin' each other." Burter agreed to that, after all when Jeice's condition passes in nine months, it was going to sooooo be worth it. Although the Captain was going to have to come up with a new Ginyu Force Pose, but not for a while.
}i{ }i{ Four Months Later }i{ }i{
The Ginyu Force was in the mess hall, eating lunch with the rest of Frieza's army, or at lest the members of the army that Lord Frieza didn't take with him to some planet called Namek. Each member of the Ginyu were doing their best to adhere to the doctor's health recommendations. Captain Ginyu has been drinking milk with each meal, Guldo has been eating more fruit and was exercising more, Jeice was taking the pills twice a day and drinking a vitamin tonic once a day, Burter was eating more greens, and Recoome did cut back on the sweets, he's been eating three candy bars a day rather then four a day... Okay, four of the five were actually trying.
Jeice groaned as he slammed his empty glass down at the table. He just drank his daily vitamin tonic, but no matter how many times he drank the stuff, it still tasted absolutely horrible. "Ya think they could find a way ta make this stuff taste better," Jeice complained before taking a big gulp of water, trying to wash away the awful taste from the tonic. Burter on the other hand, was eating a salad. He had to admit the greens were surprisingly good, so he was the only one who wasn't complaining about the diet changes. Burter was about to say something, but Jeice interrupted by saying "I know, mate, I have ta drink the stuff sa long as I'm in this condition, but it just taste soo bad." Recoome suggested that Jeice should put some chocolate in the tonic so it'll taste better. The other members of the Ginyu Force looked at the orange-head. "Recoome, do you really think chocolate would make the tonic taste better?" Guldo asked the second tallest of the team more out of curiosity then anything else. Recoome smiled and said "Of coarse, chocolate makes everything taste better." The rest of the team sighed in disappointment. Jeice finally said to Recoome "No offense mate, but I don' think the tonic'll taste any better with chocolate."
Recoome was mad and practically shouted "EVERYTHING TASTE BETTER WITH CHOCOLATE! AND RECOOME'LL PROVE IT!" Everyone in the mess hall was looking in the Ginyu Force's direction as Recoome left the table to get a vitamin tonic and a bar of chocolate. The second tallest of the Ginyus tossed both items into a blender and mixed the two until they where an ugly colored tonic. Recoome poured the "tonic" into a glass and brought it to the Ginyus, all of whom lost their appetite when they saw the gross colored tonic. "Recoome..." Captain Ginyu stated looking at the sludge-filled glass. "Yes Captain," Recoome said happily, completely unaware of the grossed out looks on his teammates' faces. Captain Ginyu took a deep breath and said "That looks like it'll taste even worse..." Recoome wanted to prove that chocolate made everything taste better, so he drank half the glass, which shocked his team. Recoome smiled and happily stated that it was delicious. Recoome then poured the rest of the "Chocolate Tonic" into Jeice's empty glass, much to the white-haired man's dismay and disgust. With the smile still on his face, Recoome told Jeice to give it a try. The shorter Ginyu gulped and stated nervously "Actually, I'ma bit full from the other tonic, not that I don' appreciate the effort mate." trying his best to get out of drinking the sludge without hurting his friend's feelings. "Awww, come on, just one little sip, Jeice," Recoome insisted as he practically shoved the glass into Jeice's hands.
Jeice finally agreed to drink a little sip of the Chocolate Tonic, a VERY little sip. Recoome was very happy and was sporting a goofy grin. Burter, Captain Ginyu, and Guldo watched nervously as Jeice slowly brought the half full glass of sludge to his lips. Burter was the most nervous of the group. When Jeice had the rim of the glass to his lips there was a very loud gurgling sound coming from Recoome's stomach. All present company looked at Recoome (Jeice no longer had the glass close to his mouth at this point). Another gurgle emitted from the behemoth's gut, but this time Recoome placed one of his gigantic hands on his stomach. Burter asked Recoome if he was all right. Recoome was about to say that he was fine, but his other hand went to his mouth and raced towards the nearest rubbish bin. Everyone watched Recoome throwing up his lunch into the bin. The rest of the Ginyu Force then looked at the sludge tonic. Jeice placed the stuff back on the table and then pushed it away from his plate. Guldo used his telekinesis to toss the glass into another rubbish bin, on the other side of the mess hall. There was no way Jeice was going to drink the vitamin tonic with chocolate if Recoome was reacting that badly to it.
}i{ }i{
Later that night. Jeice already took his vitamin pill and was currently brushing his waist long, snowy-white hair as he sat on the bed already dressed in his night clothes, while Burter was taking a shower in the bathroom that was attached to their room. This room of the army base was one of the few rooms that was big enough to actually have fully equipped bathroom. Why did Jeice and Burter have this room and why they were sharing it? Well, one reason was because they were part of the Ginyu Force, and the other... Well...
Burter got the room first because he needed a place to bathe, since he was no longer allowed to be anywhere near the base's public showers; apparently, Burter was involved in a huge fight in the public showers (someone thought it would be funny to make fun of Burter's size, that person was wrong on both picking a fight with Burter and his "Size"). Jeice moved in with Burter because after returning back from a mission one day, Jeice noticed that his room was gone, as well as the entire barrack that the room was apart of; apparently, there was an altercation between a small fighting group and they ended up destroying the barracks. During the time of the repair of the barracks, Jeice and Burter found that being each other's roommate practically complemented one another, so they stayed roomies. Guess those two are not only great tag-team pair but also great roommates.
Jeice finished brushing his hair and placed the brush on the nightstand, at the same time, Burter walked out of the bathroom wearing only a towel around his waist. The big blue alien looked at his roommate before looking at a giant shipping box that was almost the same size as Burter himself. Jeice noticed Burter looking at the box and smiled. "Yea, it came early," Jeice said as he went to one of the two dresser drawer and opened one of the draws. Burter couldn't help saying "Everything seems to be moving so fast." Jeice let out a chuckle and said "You're tellin' me." Ever since the two found out about Jeice's condition, they have been very very excited, especially after telling the other Ginyus and them getting excited as well.
Jeice tossed Burter a pair of pajama bottems that belonged to the bigger Ginyu. Burter thanked Jeice and started putting them on as Jeice went back to the bed. The Red Magma pulled a thin book out from inside the pillow case as Burter sat on the bed. They leaned close to one another and shared a kissed. When the kiss ended, both looked at the label on the box, "Cradle for Your Little Star". Burter smiled and placed a hand on Jeice's stomach. The smaller Ginyu placed one of his hands on Burter's hand, smiled, and said "Me gestation period's halfway done. 'Nother two months and we'll be able ta see tha gender of our little one."
}i{ }i{
Jeice did explained to Burter and the other Ginyus that Brench-seijins don't show any outward signs of pregnancy (3)(which did disappointed Ginyu, Burter, Recoome, and Guldo a bit. No pudgy Jeice) and that both male and female Brench-seijins can carry children when a mated pair are the same gender (4). The Ginyus didn't really want to know the details, but that didn't stop them from being excited. Recoome was happy because he was going to teach the little one how to fight (when sed little one learns how to walk), Guldo was happy because he wasn't going to be the shortest Ginyu anymore (No one really had the heart to tell him that the kid might inherit Burter's height), and Ginyu was happy because he was going to teach the little one to be stylish (He did remind the Ginyus that one of the most important part of being a Ginyu was to be stylish). Captain Ginyu stated that he needed to creat a Ginyu Force Pose for six members right away so that they were prepared for when the baby becomes a Ginyu. Burter and Jeice managed to convince the captain to postpone creating the new pose until they knew what gender the baby was, so Ginyu could have a better idea on how to position the child in the new Ginyu Force Pose.
}i{ }i{
Jeice and Burter were now snuggled under the covers. It was Burter's turn to read the book. The two heard from numerous sources that reading the same story each night to a growing fetus will help with the learning development of that fetus, so the two took turns reading their chosen story. After Burter finished reading the story, he tucked it into the pillow case, and wrapped his arm around his love. Jeice snuggled closer, nuzzled his head under Burter's chin, and said softly "Couple'a months and tha babe'll be here. Ya think we should put tha cradle tagether soon?" Burter smiled into Jeice's hair and mumbled "How about we start tomorrow. When the cradle's together, we can paint it purple, with child-safe paint of coarse." Jeice looked up at Burter and asked "Why purple?" Burter explained "Purple's a great color for either boy or girl, and *Smiles* this child is half you and half me." Jeice snuggled back into Buter's chest with a smile on his face and muttered "Red an' Blue make Purple. It's perfect me Chosen (5)." Burter agreed and both dozed off.
}i{ }i{
The next day at 1300 hours, Frieza just sent a message to Captain Ginyu from the planet Namek, ordering the entire Ginyu Force to come to the planet immediately. The team were launched towards Namek within 30 minutes. Somehow, Jeice managed to snatch the storybook from his and Burter's room before they went to the launching dock within that limited time frame. During the flight, vida communication link between the pod ships, the Ginyu Force where going over potential boy's names for the baby. Guldo suggested the name Yogurt, Recoome suggested his own name (Not that anyone saw that coming), and Ginyu suggested the name Chedaa (6). Both Burter and Jeice liked the Ginyu's suggestion, not because he was the captain but because they actually liked the name. After saying it a few time Guldo agreed that it was a good name for a boy. Since he was outnumbered, Recoome reluctantly agreed to the name; although, he still thought his name would have been better. The Ginyu Force were about to go over girls names when they got the alert that they were going to land on Namek's surface in a minute.
Besides, how tough could the mission Lord Frieza had for them be?

(1); I know that they're aliens, but I'm sure that they too need to eat some nutritious food.
(2); Okay, I couldn't resist putting this in. It's pretty funny.
(3) & (4); No idea if this is true in DBZ, So these info will be applied to this story.
(5); a term of endearment used by Brench-seijins to address one's life mate, at least in this story.
(6); Chedaa is the Japanese word for Cheddar. After all the name puns on the names of the Ginyu members are dairy products.
