Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Hi everybody! I've got a special guest here sharing the "corner" w/
me today. Say hi to everyone Veggie-head!
Vegeta: *hisses*
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Uh, yeah, hello to you too. Anyways, we've got another
great Veggie fic for you today!
Vegeta: (flatly) You're going to humiliate me again, aren't you.
Chuquita: (smiles @ him) Eh, something along those lines--
Vegeta: You do & I'll blast you to pieces!
Chuquita: (dangles a Pepsi can in front of his face) Lookie what I got...
Vegeta: (dazed) Ooooooh, PEP-siiii...GIMMIE! (grabs the can & begins to chug loudly)
Chuquita: Well, that'll shut him up for a-while, on w/ the fic!
Summary: Vegeta & Goku have journeyed to "Dummy Falls", the canyon range Goku fell off of
when he was a baby, to spar. Unfortuanetly, Vegeta accidently slips, causing him to fall into
the canyon & smack his head on way the down. Now he finds his brain & common sense slowly
deteriorating. Will he find a way to stop it before he ends up dumber than "Kakarrot"? Will
Bulma be able to find a way to reverse this?
Vegeta: I hope so!
Chuquita: (aggrivated) And will a certain saiyajin no ouji ever shut up & let me finish the
summary?!
Vegeta: Probabaly not.
Chuquita: (groans)
*************************************************************************************************
" Ooooooooh, " Goku ooohed as he leaned towards the edge of the canyon, " Look how deep
it is! "
" Deep it is..deep it is... " the canyon echoed back as Goku's eyes widened.
Goku thought for a moment, then called down into the canyon, " HELLO! "
" Hello!....hello... "
" IS ANYONE DOWN THERE! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT??? "
" ...all right...all right... "
" Okay, just checkin! " he gave a thumbs up sign, then glanced over his shoulder at
Vegeta, who was sitting on a rock shaking his head back & forth in an almost 'I pity you' manner.
" Man, I feel bad for that guy, living down there like that, must be awful lonely. "
Goku sighed.
" Is there any mildly important reason you dragged me up here Kakorot? " Vegeta said,
bored.
" Well, you know how lately everytime we spar you end up, ya know, LEVELING every
building within 10 miles, well I thought to myself, 'Goku, there has to be someplace you can
take your little buddy to fight without him blowing up any cities' and then it hit me! "
" The cities? "
" No! Here! NOBODY'S around! In fact, Grampa & I used to live about 15 minutes away from
here, this is the VERY SAME cliff I fell off of when I was a baby! Did you know they used to
call this place "Dummy Falls"? "
" How nice of them to name it after you. " Vegeta chuckled.
" Actually, there's a legend my Grandpa told me about these cliffs. A long time ago there
was an evil mastermind who was plotting to take over the planet. He was going to set up a base
around here, but one day he plummetted off the cliff, cracking his head in 3 different places.
By the time he came too, the doctors who examined him found his I.Q had dropped over 100 points
& continued to decrease rapidly. They tried to find a cure, but eventually gave up. He was now
considered to be mentally retarted & then sent him off to an asylum for the rest of his life.
That's why people never mountain climb around here, they're afraid of suffering the same fate. "
The ouji raised his eyebrow, " There's a new one. " he muttered, then looked around
& noticed a small, space-craft shaped dent behind him.
" I can't even remember why I came back up here, I think I wanted to get something I
left up here, but I forgot. "
" Your plans for world domination probably. " Vegeta stared down at the hole.
" My what?? "
" Heh, you wouldn't have found them anyway, I flushed them down the toilet before you
left Bejito-Sei. You didn't want to play hide-n-seek with me so I decided to hide something
of yours & let you seek it for yourself. " he said to himself, smiling nostalgically. The ouji
smirked at Goku, then went SSJ2 & flew at Goku, who was still standing on the edge of the cliff,
leaning over it. Vegeta lunged at him, knocking the taller saiyajin off the cliff. Goku yelped,
then noticed a piece of his gi stuck to a nearby branch sticking out of the ledge. He pulled at
it, trying free himself. Goku pulled loose, then felt himself begin to fall. He went SSJ3 &
grabbed Vegeta's feet, pulling prince down with him.
" YOU BAKAYARO WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!! " Vegeta screamed angrily at Goku, then
punched him across the face. Goku let go of Vegeta, then moaned in pain. Goku rubbed his cheek,
then flew downward at Vegeta, who quickly ducked out of the way & flew above Goku, pushing him
towards the ground faster. The ouji tightened his grip on Goku's waist as he put his full power
into smashing Goku into the ground below, " I HOPE YOU HAVE FUN AT THE ASYLUM KAKOROT! I
PROMISE TO VISIT YOU EVERY WEEK! " he cackled as they neared the ground.
Goku smiled at Vegeta, " Whatever you say little buddy! " he said, then quickly
transmitted himself behind Vegeta, clasped his hands together & threw the combined fist at Vegeta
, knocking him head-first into the rocky floor.
Vegeta shook his head back & forth, then rubbed it. His eyes widened when he saw the
the blood on his hand, then felt his head in shock. Sure enough, it was bleeding. Vegeta narrowed
his eyes at Goku, " YOU! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!! " he screamed back up to Goku, who was floating
above him.
" Sorry, it was a reflex. " Goku said, then flew down towards Vegeta & examined the
big crack on his head, " That's one big cut you got there little buddy. " he said, pushing some
of Vegeta's dark black hair away to see the crack.
" YEOW!! " Vegeta yelped, then kicked Goku into the wall, " DON'T TOUCH IT!! " he
screamed, then went SSJ2, but suddenly powered down & put his hand over the pain on his head,
" KUSO! YOU MADE IT HURT SO I COULDN'T POWERUP!!! WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO TO IT!!! "
" I didn't do anything! " Goku shouted back, then watched as Vegeta disappeared. He
reappeared in front of Goku & kicked him in the stomach. Goku grasped his leg & flung him into
the wall next to him. His eyes widened as he watched Vegeta's now limp body slide down onto the
rocks. He gulped.
" Wuh-oh. "
" Ohhhhhhh.... " Vegeta groaned as he sat on the cold bench down in Bulma's lab, he
growled at Goku, who was standing across the room from him, next to Bulma.
" Little buddy! You're OK! " Goku exclaimed as he ran up to Vegeta & hugged him, " Oh
man! I thought for a second there you were a goner! "
Vegeta shook angrily, then pushed him away, " GET YOUR FILTHY KAKO-GERMS OFF ME! HOW
MANY BLASTED TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THAT!!! "
" Uh, 149? " Goku offered, grinning.
" Vegeta, will you come over here for a minute. I want you to see this. You too Goku. "
Bulma said as she motioned them over to two X-rays she had posted on a light-board, " See this? "
she said, pointing to the one on the left, " This is an x-ray of that crack in your skull Vegeta,
see how it's shaped. " Bulma moved her hand along the x-ray in a ( motion, mimicing the shape of
it, " And the one on the right is Goku's. " she pointed to the x-ray to the right.
" WOW! YOU CAN'T TELL A DIFFERENCE! " Goku said in amazement as Vegeta's eyes widened.
He leaned towards the two x-rays.
" THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! IT'S THE SAME THING!!! " Vegeta gasped, " THERE'S NO WAY I CAN HAVE
THE SAME INJURY IN THE SAME PLACE AS KAKOROT!!! "
" You probably fell on the same rock. " Bulma concluded, " But that's not the point.
What I find is strange is how it didn't effect you at all. "
" That's cuz Veggie's head is thicker than mine! " Goku giggled, then stopped when he
noticed Vegeta glaring at him.
" Big deal. First of all _I_ am royalty, and Kakorot is a third-class peasant, it's only
natural that MY head is of better quality than his. Besides, he fell on that stupid rock when
he was a smelly fat little Kako-baby. I fell on it a couple hours ago! "
" It doesn't matter! Your skull is now damaged near the cerebrum and your brain's slowing
down in that particular section, and until I can find a way to stop it your I.Q's going to
continue to drop. "
" ... " Vegeta stared at her for a second, " YOU MEAN I'M GOING TO BECOME LIKE KAKOROT!!"
he grabbed Bulma by the collar, a panicy look on his face.
" THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH GOKU! " Bulma shouted back at him as they both turned
to Goku, who was now busy staring into a nearby lava lamp.
" OOooooh, pretty... " he said in a daze.
Vegeta turned back to Bulma, " FIX IT! FIX IT NOW!!! " he yelped, shaking in fright, then
stopped & let go, " Wait a damn minute here! This is CRAZY! If I turning into a baka I would
know it! " he said, crossing his arms, then smirked at Bulma, " You're just trying to trick me,
aren't you Onna? " he snickered.
" Oh God... " Bulma rolled her eyes.
" Of course! This is a trick! Like that one Bakarot pulled on me down at that blasted
pool. You're trying to get me to appreciate him by making me think I'm becoming his mental
equal. " he cackled.
Bulma groaned, then smacked herself on the forehead, " You want PROOF Vegeta! " she
narrowed her eyes at him.
" I don't NEED your baka proof onna! " he replied, snickering.
Bulma slapped a watch-like device on his wrist, " HERE! This measures your IQ genius! "
she said scornfully, " 101! You watch it fall yourself! And MAYBE if you ask me nicely I'll help
you! " she said, then walked out of the lab, " Now, if you'll EXCUSE me "prince", I'M going to
take a nap, goodbye! " Bulma slammed the door behind her.
Vegeta scratched his head, " ... " he looked down at the watch, which still read 101 &
sighed with relief. The ouji walked over to Goku, " Say Kakorot, you don't actually think that
Onna was telling the truth about that stupid injury, do you? " he said casually.
" I dunno Vegeta, whadda you think? " Goku answered, his eyes still glued to the
movement of the blobs inside the lava lamp, " Vegeta? Vegeta? " he turned to his right to see
Vegeta sitting next to him, staring at the lava lamp, the same facinated look on his face Goku
was just wearing, " Vegeta?? "
Vegeta shook his head, then smacked himself on the side of the head a couple times &
looked at Goku, " I don't believe her for a second. " he said, standing up. Goku glanced over at
Vegeta's watch, which now read 99; a worried look on the taller saiyajin's face.
" Whatever you say Vegeta.
" Welcome. " the voice in the gravity chamber greeted Vegeta as he walked in. He smiled
and looked down at the control panel, then reached down to start the machine & paused.
" Uh-- " Vegeta took a quick look around the panel, confused, " Which one was it! "
" I believe the small blue button to your left. " the computer replied as Vegeta hissed.
" I KNEW THAT!!! " he huffed, then pressed the blue button causing the gravity to
increase. Vegeta bent down & began doing pushups while mumbling to himself, " Baka machine, like
I don't know what I'm doing. "
" I heard that! " the machine said from a speaker.
Vegeta glared at it & sent a ki blast towards the speaker, frying it. He smiled, then
returned to his pushups, " 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.. " Vegeta stopped, his eyes widening. He rubbed his
head, "..6, 7, 8, 9-- " he continued, feeling a slight pounding in his head as he counted,
" 9, uh..'8, 9' err.. "
" 10, Toussan? " Mirai said, raising an eyebrow as he leaned against the doorway.
" Get out of here boy! I'm busy! " Vegeta scowled at Mirai.
" If you can't remember what comes after 9 then you MUST'VE been in here for LONG time."
Mirai said, " Maybe you should take a break. "
" I've only been training for no more than FIVE MINUTES! I do NOT need a break! " Vegeta
said.
" I think you should. You know, Goku lent me this fishing boat, maybe we could take it
out on the lake and-- "
" --I AM TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT KAKOROT! YOU WILL _NOT_ INTERUPT ME UNLESS WHAT YOU HAVE
TO SAY IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE! DO YOU HEAR ME!!! " Vegeta yelled at Mirai as he lept to his
feet.
" *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* " Vegeta looked down at the watch, then pulled it off & tossed it
to the ground, " STUPID THING! "
Mirai bent down, picked it up, & put it on, " Somethings wrong with your watch Toussan. "
he said, " It says 1:06 but it's only 12:30. I wonder how you set it. " he said, puzzled as he
searched for a button.
" That's because it's not suppossed to tell time IDIOT! It tells you EQ. "
" You mean IQ?? "
" Whatever, I wasn't paying attention to that Onna's blabbering anyway. " he crossed his
arms.
" WHOA! I'M 106! I'M A GENIUS!!! " Mirai said, a grin on his face, " I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!"
" Well, you do have MY genes in you. " Vegeta bragged to himself. Mirai zipped over to
him.
" Hey Toussan, I bet you're smarter than me! " Mirai smiled at Vegeta, who got a pleased
look on his face.
" Of COURSE I'm smarter than you boy, after all, I AM royalty. " he said, grabbing the
watch & putting it back on. The watch began to beep. Vegeta & Mirai looked down at it.
" 94!! " Vegeta exclaimed, " BAKA CONTRAPTION! It must be broken, why ELSE would it read
YOU as 106. " he smirked at Mirai.
" HEY! " Mirai said warningly, " Are you calling ME stupid! "
" Yup! " Vegeta answered happily, then looked down at his watch, which now read 92,
" AHH! I mean NO! I mean, I mean, OH JUST GET OUT OF HERE AND LET ME WORK!!! " he said, grabbing
Mirai by the collar & the seat of his pants & throwing him out of the gravity chamber, " AND
DON'T COME BACK UNTIL _I_ SAY SO! "
" FINE! "
" FINE! "
Vegeta found himself sitting there, staring at the large red button labeled "DANGER"
on the control panel, his pointer finger hanging centimeters above it. He reached down to press
it, a grin on his face, then pulled away, ::YOU BAKA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!:: he put the hand
behind his back, ::That's something KAKOROT would do, not the Great Saiyajin no Ouji:: he
concluded, " But it is, really shiney, and-- " he glanced to his left, then right, his finger
nearing the button, " Can't...stop..now...WEE! " Vegeta squealed as he pressed the button.
The gravity machine began to shake about violently, then exploded.
" *BOOOOM!* "
Mirai flung to front door open only to see a huge massive pile of debris on his front
lawn were the gravity chamber had been, " TOUSSAN!!! " he cried, then ran over to the smoking
pile, searching for Vegeta, " Oh no! " Mirai felt his eyes glaze over, then shrieked as a figure
emerged from the rubble with a disoriented look on his face along with a classic Son smile,
" TOUSSAN YOU'RE ALIVE! " Mirai felt tears running down his cheeks as he rushed over to Vegeta,
who waved at Mirai, then fainted.
Mirai stared down at the now unconsious Vegeta & sighed, " Something tells me this
is going to be a long day. "
Mirai sat down on the couch next to Vegeta, who was snoring loudly. He poked him slightly
, but to no avail. Mirai then grabbed two nearby pillows & stuffed them in his ears, trying
to block out the noise.
One eye opened, then the other. Mirai turned to his left to see Vegeta staring at him,
bewildered.
Mirai felt his face redden as he realized the pillows were still halfway into his ears.
He pulled them out & set them back down on the couch, a sheepish look on his face.
He looked back at Vegeta as a smile appeared upon his face & continued to grow larger
until it resembled the same kind of goofy smile Goku would give him.
" Uh--Toussan? " Mirai inquired, leaning towards him curiously. Vegeta thrust his arms
out & hugged him.
" Mirai! " he said happily, " YOU SAVED ME! "
Mirai's eyes rested upon the watch Vegeta was wearing, " 82?? How in the-- "
" THANK YOU! " Vegeta said as Mirai tried to unlatch himself, " I thought I was going to
die but you came & rescued me! You make me proud! " he said as Mirai paused, a thoughtful smile
on his face.
" Really Toussan? You're PROUD of me? "
Vegeta nodded, " Yup! "
" Wow... " Mirai mused, " Toussan likes me! He really LIKES me! " he said, then looked
down at Vegeta, who still had the Goku grin on his face. Mirai felt his face pale, " Err,
Toussan, do you mind letting go now? "
" Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee-- "
" Toussan? "
" --no. " he giggled. Mirai sweatdropped.
" Umm, how about this. You sit here, and, I'll go get you some Pepsi. Oh-kay? " Mirai
said as Vegeta stared up at Mirai, the smile now gone from his face. He slowly moved his arms
out of their grasp on Mirai's waist.
Mirai lept to his feet & hopped off the couch as fast as possible, then made his way to
the kitchen, only to feel an annoying, continueous tap on his shoulder. He looked over his
shoulder to see Vegeta standing behind him wearing a small smile. Mirai took two steps forward,
Vegeta did the same.
Trunks looked around the room, then grabbed the remote & turned the TV on, a large blast
of light illuminated from the screen. He watched as Vegeta almost-hypnotically trudged over to
the television & sat down in front of it, indian-style. Mirai Trunks let out a sigh of relief,
then set the remote back down on the counter, stepped back a couple feet, then made a mad rush
for Bulma's lab.
" MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!! "
Goku walked up the stairs from the lab, then watched as a very frightened and panicy
Mirai ran down the stairway next to him crying that it was all his fault. Goku shrugged it off &
headed for the living room, then screeched to a halt at the sight in front of him.
" I love you, you love me, we're a happy family-- " Vegeta sang along with the TV, then
noticed Goku & waved, then continued to sing-along, " With a hug and a kiss from me to you, won't
you say you love me too! " he sung, then stopped suddenly as the TV screen went blank, he turned
around to see Goku breathing heavily, his right arm shaking as he set the remote down.
" LITTLE BUDDY! " Goku cried, zipping over to Vegeta, " WHAT'RE YOU DOIN! WATCHING
"BARNEY"! YOU CAN'T WATCH THAT STUFF IT'LL ROT YOUR MIND!! " he grabbed Vegeta's wrist to look
at the watch, which now read 75, " What's left of it anyway. "
" ... " Vegeta flashed another Son smile. Goku's eyes widened in shock. He grabbed his
arms & shook him.
" Come on little buddy! Snap out of it! "
" ... "
" PLEASE! It's me! "Kakorot", you remember "Kakorot", don't you?! " Goku pleaded as
Vegeta continued to grin stupidly at him, " OH KAMI WHY! " he exclaimed, then felt something
tighten around his waist.
" KAKA-CHAN! "
Goku raised an eyebrow, " Eh? "
" Veggie loves Kaka-chan! " he hugged tighter.
" Uh, right... " Goku said uneasily, " You know, Bulma's trying really hard to come up
with a solution to getting your brain to 'function properly' again. " he said, trying to change
the subject, " I bet you can't wait to get back to normal, right little buddy? " he said, reading
the 71 on Vegeta's watch.
" Does Kaka-chan love Veggie? " he asked happily as Goku thought for a moment.
" You know what, no more "Barney" for you, it's messin with your head. " Goku said,
conserned, " In fact, " he said, trying to pull free, " I don't think you should be watching
any more TV or kiddie-shows until we find a way to fix your, err, accident. "
Vegeta continued to stare up at him, cherishably. Goku sweatdropped, then got an idea &
smirked at him.
" AND, until Bulma fixes you, NO MORE _PEPSI_. " Goku said sternly as a pang of fear
flickered in Vegeta's eyes, which then glazed over, causing him to burst out into tears. He
pushed Goku away & ran to the corner of the room, sobbing.
" Man I'm glad I don't remember going through this. " he mumbled to himself as he watched
Vegeta, then headed back down the the lab, " Musta happened too fast for me to actually go
through it like that...thank God. "
" WHY DIDN'T I LEAVE THE HOUSE SOONER TO HELP HIM! WHY!!! " Mirai wailed as he leaned
his head on Bulma's shoulder, " NOW IT'S ALL MY FAULT!!! I MIGHT AS WELL HAVE KILLED HIM THAN
HAVE HIM END UP LIKE THIS!!! " he bawled as Goku neared the bottom step.
Bulma wipped the snot off her shoulder, " Goku, could you get me a kleenex? " she asked
as Goku took the tissue-box off the counter & handed it to her.
" Oh Son-san! It's HORRIBLE! " Mirai shouted, " Poor Toussan! What have I DONE to deserve
this! What has HE done! "
" Nothing. " Goku replied.
" Huh? "
" Didn't Bulma tell you? " he asked as Mirai shook his head.
" He wouldn't let me. " Bulma answered, trying to wipe the mucus off her sholder, " he
was too busy blowing his nose on my shirt! "
" You didn't do anything Mirai. " Goku explained to Mirai Trunks, who stood there,
bewildered.
" HOW COULD I HAVE _NOT_ DONE ANYTHING! HE WAS PERFECTLY FINE BEFORE THE EXPLOSION!
AND NOW HE'S LOST HIS MIND!! "
" Actually, earlier when we were sparing up by the mountains 'ol Veggiebrains smacked
his head on one of the rocks and that's what's making him dumber. " Goku said.
" Speaking of which Goku, how far down, err, gone, uh, what number is Vegeta down to
now? 90, 93? " Bulma said casually.
" 71. " Goku said as Bulma's jaw dropped to the ground.
" SEVENTY ONE!!! " she pulled Goku down to her height by the collar, " WHAT DO YOU MEAN
SEVENTY ONE!! "
" That's what his watch said. " Goku shrugged, " Maybe it had something to do with that
"Barney" episode he was watching. "
" BARNEY?! " Trunks gawked, " I LEFT THE NEWS ON IN THERE! "
" Well, he couldn't have lost ALL of his mind. He can still use the remote. " Goku said.
" THAT DOESN'T PROVE ANYTHING! " Mirai yelled back, " EVEN A MONKEY CAN USE A TV REMOTE
CONTROL! "
" 71... " Bulma murmured, " That stupid little midget! Now I have to work even faster! "
she complained, then turned to Trunks & Goku, " It would help if you bring Vegeta down here,
I might be able to operate on him. "
Goku raised his hand, " How? "
" It's one of my most ingenius plans. " she smirked.
" Really? What is it? "
" I have no idea. " Bulma answered as Goku and Trunks fell down animé style, " But, when
I think of it, it will undoubtably be my most ingenius plans ever! "
Mirai sighed, " Whatever you say Mom. "
" Oh Ve-gee-ta! " Goku whispered in a sing-song voice as he & Mirai crept up the stairs
from the lab, Goku crouching down & Mirai behind him holding a large butterfly-net, " Where are
you little buddy? "
" Maybe we should be more forward. " Mirai suggested.
" Don't worry about it, I know exactly where I left him. He's probably still in the
corner of the living room crying about his Pepsi. " Goku whispered back as he led Mirai into the
hallway, " Oh little buddy, it's me, "Kaka-chan". "
Mirai raised an eyebrow, " "Kaka-chan"??? "
" Don't ask. " Goku said flatly as they crept around the corner to the livingroom,
" NOW! " Goku screamed as Mirai lunged at the corner, tossing the net ontop of it, " AHA! NOW
WE'VE GOT YOU...Vegeta? "
" Umm, he's not here Son Goku. " Mirai said pointing the the empty net, " He's not here.
In fact, he's not anywhere in this room! " he said, slightly nervous.
" It's okay, so he's not in the living room. " Goku said, " As long as he's still in the
house we can find him. " he pointed out, " You locked all the doors, didn't you? "
" OF COURSE I LOCKED THE ALL THE DOORS! " Mirai exclaimed.
" Good. I'm hungry. I can't do anything on an empty stomach. " Goku said as he headed
for the kitchen.
" Kitchen...OH NO! THE KITCHEN! " Mirai rushed past Goku, " I LEFT THE BACKDOOR UN-- "
Mirai screeched to a halt to see backdoor swinging front & back, " --locked. "
Goku's eyes widened, " He could be anywhere by now... "
Mirai swallowed hard, a look of fear on his face, " But where? "

END OF PART 1
I love OOC fics, don't you?
This is about the 6th fic I've
written where Veggiebrains has been thrown
drastically out of character. But enough
about that. I have my exams starting Wed.
so I don't know if that'll slow me down (studying
for them), or speed me up, (during exams we have 1/2 days)
I'll let you know. I hope you liked part one.
Hasta luego!

*************************************************************************************************
" Ooooooooh, " Goku ooohed as he leaned towards the edge of the canyon, " Look how deep
it is! "
" Deep it is..deep it is... " the canyon echoed back as Goku's eyes widened.
Goku thought for a moment, then called down into the canyon, " HELLO! "
" Hello!....hello... "
" IS ANYONE DOWN THERE! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT??? "
" ...all right...all right... "
" Okay, just checkin! " he gave a thumbs up sign, then glanced over his shoulder at
Vegeta, who was sitting on a rock shaking his head back & forth in an almost 'I pity you' manner.
" Man, I feel bad for that guy, living down there like that, must be awful lonely. "
Goku sighed.
" Is there any mildly important reason you dragged me up here Kakorot? " Vegeta said,
bored.
" Well, you know how lately everytime we spar you end up, ya know, LEVELING every
building within 10 miles, well I thought to myself, 'Goku, there has to be someplace you can
take your little buddy to fight without him blowing up any cities' and then it hit me! "
" The cities? "
" No! Here! NOBODY'S around! In fact, Grampa & I used to live about 15 minutes away from
here, this is the VERY SAME cliff I fell off of when I was a baby! Did you know they used to
call this place "Dummy Falls"? "
" How nice of them to name it after you. " Vegeta chuckled.
" Actually, there's a legend my Grandpa told me about these cliffs. A long time ago there

The ouji raised his eyebrow, " There's a new one. " he muttered, then looked around
& noticed a small, space-craft shaped dent behind him.
" I can't even remember why I came back up here, I think I wanted to get something I
left up here, but I forgot. "
" Your plans for world domination probably. " Vegeta stared down at the hole.
" My what?? "
" Heh, you wouldn't have found them anyway, I flushed them down the toilet before you
left Bejito-Sei. You didn't want to play hide-n-seek with me so I decided to hide something
of yours & let you seek it for yourself. " he said to himself, smiling nostalgically. The ouji
smirked at Goku, then went SSJ2 & flew at Goku, who was still standing on the edge of the cliff,
leaning over it. Vegeta lunged at him, knocking the taller saiyajin off the cliff. Goku yelped,
then noticed a piece of his gi stuck to a nearby branch sticking out of the ledge. He pulled at
it, trying free himself. Goku pulled loose, then felt himself begin to fall. He went SSJ3 &
grabbed Vegeta's feet, pulling prince down with him.
" YOU BAKAYARO WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!! " Vegeta screamed angrily at Goku, then
punched him across the face. Goku let go of Vegeta, then moaned in pain. Goku rubbed his cheek,
then flew downward at Vegeta, who quickly ducked out of the way & flew above Goku, pushing him
towards the ground faster. The ouji tightened his grip on Goku's waist as he put his full power
into smashing Goku into the ground below, " I HOPE YOU HAVE FUN AT THE ASYLUM KAKOROT! I
PROMISE TO VISIT YOU EVERY WEEK! " he cackled as they neared the ground.
Goku smiled at Vegeta, " Whatever you say little buddy! " he said, then quickly
transmitted himself behind Vegeta, clasped his hands together & threw the combined fist at Vegeta
, knocking him head-first into the rocky floor.
Vegeta shook his head back & forth, then rubbed it. His eyes widened when he saw the
the blood on his hand, then felt his head in shock. Sure enough, it was bleeding. Vegeta narrowed
his eyes at Goku, " YOU! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!! " he screamed back up to Goku, who was floating
above him.
" Sorry, it was a reflex. " Goku said, then flew down towards Vegeta & examined the
big crack on his head, " That's one big cut you got there little buddy. " he said, pushing some
of Vegeta's dark black hair away to see the crack.
" YEOW!! " Vegeta yelped, then kicked Goku into the wall, " DON'T TOUCH IT!! " he
screamed, then went SSJ2, but suddenly powered down & put his hand over the pain on his head,
" KUSO! YOU MADE IT HURT SO I COULDN'T POWERUP!!! WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO TO IT!!! "
" I didn't do anything! " Goku shouted back, then watched as Vegeta disappeared. He
reappeared in front of Goku & kicked him in the stomach. Goku grasped his leg & flung him into
the wall next to him. His eyes widened as he watched Vegeta's now limp body slide down onto the
rocks. He gulped.
" Wuh-oh. "
" Ohhhhhhh.... " Vegeta groaned as he sat on the cold bench down in Bulma's lab, he
growled at Goku, who was standing across the room from him, next to Bulma.
" Little buddy! You're OK! " Goku exclaimed as he ran up to Vegeta & hugged him, " Oh
man! I thought for a second there you were a goner! "
Vegeta shook angrily, then pushed him away, " GET YOUR FILTHY KAKO-GERMS OFF ME! HOW
MANY BLASTED TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THAT!!! "
" Uh, 149? " Goku offered, grinning.
" Vegeta, will you come over here for a minute. I want you to see this. You too Goku. "
Bulma said as she motioned them over to two X-rays she had posted on a light-board, " See this? "
she said, pointing to the one on the left, " This is an x-ray of that crack in your skull Vegeta,
see how it's shaped. " Bulma moved her hand along the x-ray in a ( motion, mimicing the shape of
it, " And the one on the right is Goku's. " she pointed to the x-ray to the right.
" WOW! YOU CAN'T TELL A DIFFERENCE! " Goku said in amazement as Vegeta's eyes widened.
He leaned towards the two x-rays.
" THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! IT'S THE SAME THING!!! " Vegeta gasped, " THERE'S NO WAY I CAN HAVE
THE SAME INJURY IN THE SAME PLACE AS KAKOROT!!! "
" You probably fell on the same rock. " Bulma concluded, " But that's not the point.
What I find is strange is how it didn't effect you at all. "
" That's cuz Veggie's head is thicker than mine! " Goku giggled, then stopped when he
noticed Vegeta glaring at him.
" Big deal. First of all _I_ am royalty, and Kakorot is a third-class peasant, it's only
natural that MY head is of better quality than his. Besides, he fell on that stupid rock when
he was a smelly fat little Kako-baby. I fell on it a couple hours ago! "
" It doesn't matter! Your skull is now damaged near the cerebrum and your brain's slowing
down in that particular section, and until I can find a way to stop it your I.Q's going to
continue to drop. "
" ... " Vegeta stared at her for a second, " YOU MEAN I'M GOING TO BECOME LIKE KAKOROT!!"
he grabbed Bulma by the collar, a panicy look on his face.
" THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH GOKU! " Bulma shouted back at him as they both turned
to Goku, who was now busy staring into a nearby lava lamp.
" OOooooh, pretty... " he said in a daze.
Vegeta turned back to Bulma, " FIX IT! FIX IT NOW!!! " he yelped, shaking in fright, then
stopped & let go, " Wait a damn minute here! This is CRAZY! If I turning into a baka I would
know it! " he said, crossing his arms, then smirked at Bulma, " You're just trying to trick me,
aren't you Onna? " he snickered.
" Oh God... " Bulma rolled her eyes.
" Of course! This is a trick! Like that one Bakarot pulled on me down at that blasted
pool. You're trying to get me to appreciate him by making me think I'm becoming his mental
equal. " he cackled.
Bulma groaned, then smacked herself on the forehead, " You want PROOF Vegeta! " she
narrowed her eyes at him.
" I don't NEED your baka proof onna! " he replied, snickering.
Bulma slapped a watch-like device on his wrist, " HERE! This measures your IQ genius! "
she said scornfully, " 101! You watch it fall yourself! And MAYBE if you ask me nicely I'll help
you! " she said, then walked out of the lab, " Now, if you'll EXCUSE me "prince", I'M going to
take a nap, goodbye! " Bulma slammed the door behind her.
Vegeta scratched his head, " ... " he looked down at the watch, which still read 101 &
sighed with relief. The ouji walked over to Goku, " Say Kakorot, you don't actually think that
Onna was telling the truth about that stupid injury, do you? " he said casually.
" I dunno Vegeta, whadda you think? " Goku answered, his eyes still glued to the
movement of the blobs inside the lava lamp, " Vegeta? Vegeta? " he turned to his right to see
Vegeta sitting next to him, staring at the lava lamp, the same facinated look on his face Goku
was just wearing, " Vegeta?? "
Vegeta shook his head, then smacked himself on the side of the head a couple times &
looked at Goku, " I don't believe her for a second. " he said, standing up. Goku glanced over at
Vegeta's watch, which now read 99; a worried look on the taller saiyajin's face.
" Whatever you say Vegeta.
" Welcome. " the voice in the gravity chamber greeted Vegeta as he walked in. He smiled
and looked down at the control panel, then reached down to start the machine & paused.
" Uh-- " Vegeta took a quick look around the panel, confused, " Which one was it! "
" I believe the small blue button to your left. " the computer replied as Vegeta hissed.
" I KNEW THAT!!! " he huffed, then pressed the blue button causing the gravity to
increase. Vegeta bent down & began doing pushups while mumbling to himself, " Baka machine, like
I don't know what I'm doing. "
" I heard that! " the machine said from a speaker.
Vegeta glared at it & sent a ki blast towards the speaker, frying it. He smiled, then
returned to his pushups, " 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.. " Vegeta stopped, his eyes widening. He rubbed his
head, "..6, 7, 8, 9-- " he continued, feeling a slight pounding in his head as he counted,
" 9, uh..'8, 9' err.. "
" 10, Toussan? " Mirai said, raising an eyebrow as he leaned against the doorway.
" Get out of here boy! I'm busy! " Vegeta scowled at Mirai.
" If you can't remember what comes after 9 then you MUST'VE been in here for LONG time."
Mirai said, " Maybe you should take a break. "
" I've only been training for no more than FIVE MINUTES! I do NOT need a break! " Vegeta
said.
" I think you should. You know, Goku lent me this fishing boat, maybe we could take it
out on the lake and-- "
" --I AM TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT KAKOROT! YOU WILL _NOT_ INTERUPT ME UNLESS WHAT YOU HAVE
TO SAY IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE! DO YOU HEAR ME!!! " Vegeta yelled at Mirai as he lept to his
feet.
" *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* " Vegeta looked down at the watch, then pulled it off & tossed it
to the ground, " STUPID THING! "
Mirai bent down, picked it up, & put it on, " Somethings wrong with your watch Toussan. "
he said, " It says 1:06 but it's only 12:30. I wonder how you set it. " he said, puzzled as he
searched for a button.
" That's because it's not suppossed to tell time IDIOT! It tells you EQ. "
" You mean IQ?? "
" Whatever, I wasn't paying attention to that Onna's blabbering anyway. " he crossed his
arms.
" WHOA! I'M 106! I'M A GENIUS!!! " Mirai said, a grin on his face, " I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!"
" Well, you do have MY genes in you. " Vegeta bragged to himself. Mirai zipped over to
him.
" Hey Toussan, I bet you're smarter than me! " Mirai smiled at Vegeta, who got a pleased
look on his face.
" Of COURSE I'm smarter than you boy, after all, I AM royalty. " he said, grabbing the
watch & putting it back on. The watch began to beep. Vegeta & Mirai looked down at it.
" 94!! " Vegeta exclaimed, " BAKA CONTRAPTION! It must be broken, why ELSE would it read
YOU as 106. " he smirked at Mirai.
" HEY! " Mirai said warningly, " Are you calling ME stupid! "
" Yup! " Vegeta answered happily, then looked down at his watch, which now read 92,
" AHH! I mean NO! I mean, I mean, OH JUST GET OUT OF HERE AND LET ME WORK!!! " he said, grabbing
Mirai by the collar & the seat of his pants & throwing him out of the gravity chamber, " AND
DON'T COME BACK UNTIL _I_ SAY SO! "
" FINE! "
" FINE! "
Vegeta found himself sitting there, staring at the large red button labeled "DANGER"
on the control panel, his pointer finger hanging centimeters above it. He reached down to press
it, a grin on his face, then pulled away, ::YOU BAKA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!:: he put the hand
behind his back, ::That's something KAKOROT would do, not the Great Saiyajin no Ouji:: he
concluded, " But it is, really shiney, and-- " he glanced to his left, then right, his finger
nearing the button, " Can't...stop..now...WEE! " Vegeta squealed as he pressed the button.
The gravity machine began to shake about violently, then exploded.
" *BOOOOM!* "
Mirai flung to front door open only to see a huge massive pile of debris on his front
lawn were the gravity chamber had been, " TOUSSAN!!! " he cried, then ran over to the smoking
pile, searching for Vegeta, " Oh no! " Mirai felt his eyes glaze over, then shrieked as a figure
emerged from the rubble with a disoriented look on his face along with a classic Son smile,
" TOUSSAN YOU'RE ALIVE! " Mirai felt tears running down his cheeks as he rushed over to Vegeta,
who waved at Mirai, then fainted.
Mirai stared down at the now unconsious Vegeta & sighed, " Something tells me this
is going to be a long day. "
Mirai sat down on the couch next to Vegeta, who was snoring loudly. He poked him slightly
, but to no avail. Mirai then grabbed two nearby pillows & stuffed them in his ears, trying
to block out the noise.
One eye opened, then the other. Mirai turned to his left to see Vegeta staring at him,
bewildered.
Mirai felt his face redden as he realized the pillows were still halfway into his ears.
He pulled them out & set them back down on the couch, a sheepish look on his face.
He looked back at Vegeta as a smile appeared upon his face & continued to grow larger
until it resembled the same kind of goofy smile Goku would give him.
" Uh--Toussan? " Mirai inquired, leaning towards him curiously. Vegeta thrust his arms
out & hugged him.
" Mirai! " he said happily, " YOU SAVED ME! "
Mirai's eyes rested upon the watch Vegeta was wearing, " 82?? How in the-- "
" THANK YOU! " Vegeta said as Mirai tried to unlatch himself, " I thought I was going to
die but you came & rescued me! You make me proud! " he said as Mirai paused, a thoughtful smile
on his face.
" Really Toussan? You're PROUD of me? "
Vegeta nodded, " Yup! "
" Wow... " Mirai mused, " Toussan likes me! He really LIKES me! " he said, then looked
down at Vegeta, who still had the Goku grin on his face. Mirai felt his face pale, " Err,
Toussan, do you mind letting go now? "
" Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee-- "
" Toussan? "
" --no. " he giggled. Mirai sweatdropped.
" Umm, how about this. You sit here, and, I'll go get you some Pepsi. Oh-kay? " Mirai
said as Vegeta stared up at Mirai, the smile now gone from his face. He slowly moved his arms
out of their grasp on Mirai's waist.
Mirai lept to his feet & hopped off the couch as fast as possible, then made his way to
the kitchen, only to feel an annoying, continueous tap on his shoulder. He looked over his
shoulder to see Vegeta standing behind him wearing a small smile. Mirai took two steps forward,
Vegeta did the same.
Trunks looked around the room, then grabbed the remote & turned the TV on, a large blast
of light illuminated from the screen. He watched as Vegeta almost-hypnotically trudged over to
the television & sat down in front of it, indian-style. Mirai Trunks let out a sigh of relief,
then set the remote back down on the counter, stepped back a couple feet, then made a mad rush
for Bulma's lab.
" MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!! "
Goku walked up the stairs from the lab, then watched as a very frightened and panicy
Mirai ran down the stairway next to him crying that it was all his fault. Goku shrugged it off &
headed for the living room, then screeched to a halt at the sight in front of him.
" I love you, you love me, we're a happy family-- " Vegeta sang along with the TV, then
noticed Goku & waved, then continued to sing-along, " With a hug and a kiss from me to you, won't
you say you love me too! " he sung, then stopped suddenly as the TV screen went blank, he turned
around to see Goku breathing heavily, his right arm shaking as he set the remote down.
" LITTLE BUDDY! " Goku cried, zipping over to Vegeta, " WHAT'RE YOU DOIN! WATCHING
"BARNEY"! YOU CAN'T WATCH THAT STUFF IT'LL ROT YOUR MIND!! " he grabbed Vegeta's wrist to look
at the watch, which now read 75, " What's left of it anyway. "
" ... " Vegeta flashed another Son smile. Goku's eyes widened in shock. He grabbed his
arms & shook him.
" Come on little buddy! Snap out of it! "
" ... "
" PLEASE! It's me! "Kakorot", you remember "Kakorot", don't you?! " Goku pleaded as
Vegeta continued to grin stupidly at him, " OH KAMI WHY! " he exclaimed, then felt something
tighten around his waist.
" KAKA-CHAN! "
Goku raised an eyebrow, " Eh? "
" Veggie loves Kaka-chan! " he hugged tighter.
" Uh, right... " Goku said uneasily, " You know, Bulma's trying really hard to come up
with a solution to getting your brain to 'function properly' again. " he said, trying to change
the subject, " I bet you can't wait to get back to normal, right little buddy? " he said, reading
the 71 on Vegeta's watch.
" Does Kaka-chan love Veggie? " he asked happily as Goku thought for a moment.
" You know what, no more "Barney" for you, it's messin with your head. " Goku said,
conserned, " In fact, " he said, trying to pull free, " I don't think you should be watching
any more TV or kiddie-shows until we find a way to fix your, err, accident. "
Vegeta continued to stare up at him, cherishably. Goku sweatdropped, then got an idea &
smirked at him.
" AND, until Bulma fixes you, NO MORE _PEPSI_. " Goku said sternly as a pang of fear
flickered in Vegeta's eyes, which then glazed over, causing him to burst out into tears. He
pushed Goku away & ran to the corner of the room, sobbing.
" Man I'm glad I don't remember going through this. " he mumbled to himself as he watched
Vegeta, then headed back down the the lab, " Musta happened too fast for me to actually go
through it like that...thank God. "
" WHY DIDN'T I LEAVE THE HOUSE SOONER TO HELP HIM! WHY!!! " Mirai wailed as he leaned
his head on Bulma's shoulder, " NOW IT'S ALL MY FAULT!!! I MIGHT AS WELL HAVE KILLED HIM THAN
HAVE HIM END UP LIKE THIS!!! " he bawled as Goku neared the bottom step.
Bulma wipped the snot off her shoulder, " Goku, could you get me a kleenex? " she asked
as Goku took the tissue-box off the counter & handed it to her.
" Oh Son-san! It's HORRIBLE! " Mirai shouted, " Poor Toussan! What have I DONE to deserve
this! What has HE done! "
" Nothing. " Goku replied.
" Huh? "
" Didn't Bulma tell you? " he asked as Mirai shook his head.
" He wouldn't let me. " Bulma answered, trying to wipe the mucus off her sholder, " he
was too busy blowing his nose on my shirt! "
" You didn't do anything Mirai. " Goku explained to Mirai Trunks, who stood there,
bewildered.
" HOW COULD I HAVE _NOT_ DONE ANYTHING! HE WAS PERFECTLY FINE BEFORE THE EXPLOSION!
AND NOW HE'S LOST HIS MIND!! "
" Actually, earlier when we were sparing up by the mountains 'ol Veggiebrains smacked
his head on one of the rocks and that's what's making him dumber. " Goku said.
" Speaking of which Goku, how far down, err, gone, uh, what number is Vegeta down to
now? 90, 93? " Bulma said casually.
" 71. " Goku said as Bulma's jaw dropped to the ground.
" SEVENTY ONE!!! " she pulled Goku down to her height by the collar, " WHAT DO YOU MEAN
SEVENTY ONE!! "
" That's what his watch said. " Goku shrugged, " Maybe it had something to do with that
"Barney" episode he was watching. "
" BARNEY?! " Trunks gawked, " I LEFT THE NEWS ON IN THERE! "
" Well, he couldn't have lost ALL of his mind. He can still use the remote. " Goku said.
" THAT DOESN'T PROVE ANYTHING! " Mirai yelled back, " EVEN A MONKEY CAN USE A TV REMOTE
CONTROL! "
" 71... " Bulma murmured, " That stupid little midget! Now I have to work even faster! "
she complained, then turned to Trunks & Goku, " It would help if you bring Vegeta down here,
I might be able to operate on him. "
Goku raised his hand, " How? "
" It's one of my most ingenius plans. " she smirked.
" Really? What is it? "
" I have no idea. " Bulma answered as Goku and Trunks fell down animé style, " But, when
I think of it, it will undoubtably be my most ingenius plans ever! "
Mirai sighed, " Whatever you say Mom. "
" Oh Ve-gee-ta! " Goku whispered in a sing-song voice as he & Mirai crept up the stairs
from the lab, Goku crouching down & Mirai behind him holding a large butterfly-net, " Where are
you little buddy? "
" Maybe we should be more forward. " Mirai suggested.
" Don't worry about it, I know exactly where I left him. He's probably still in the
corner of the living room crying about his Pepsi. " Goku whispered back as he led Mirai into the
hallway, " Oh little buddy, it's me, "Kaka-chan". "
Mirai raised an eyebrow, " "Kaka-chan"??? "
" Don't ask. " Goku said flatly as they crept around the corner to the livingroom,
" NOW! " Goku screamed as Mirai lunged at the corner, tossing the net ontop of it, " AHA! NOW
WE'VE GOT YOU...Vegeta? "
" Umm, he's not here Son Goku. " Mirai said pointing the the empty net, " He's not here.
In fact, he's not anywhere in this room! " he said, slightly nervous.
" It's okay, so he's not in the living room. " Goku said, " As long as he's still in the
house we can find him. " he pointed out, " You locked all the doors, didn't you? "
" OF COURSE I LOCKED THE ALL THE DOORS! " Mirai exclaimed.
" Good. I'm hungry. I can't do anything on an empty stomach. " Goku said as he headed
for the kitchen.
" Kitchen...OH NO! THE KITCHEN! " Mirai rushed past Goku, " I LEFT THE BACKDOOR UN-- "
Mirai screeched to a halt to see backdoor swinging front & back, " --locked. "
Goku's eyes widened, " He could be anywhere by now... "
Mirai swallowed hard, a look of fear on his face, " But where? "

END OF PART 1
I love OOC fics, don't you?
This is about the 6th fic I've
written where Veggiebrains has been thrown
drastically out of character. But enough
about that. I have my exams starting Wed.
so I don't know if that'll slow me down (studying
for them), or speed me up, (during exams we have 1/2 days)
I'll let you know. I hope you liked part one.
Hasta luego!
