Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: (grins) Hi and welcome to another story created by yours truely.
Goku: (happily) Today in the Corner we have a VERY SPECIAL guest fused from two VERY SPECIAL people. (grins at Veggie,
who slaps himself on the forehead in embarassment)
Vegeta: (groans) Shoot me now.
Chuquita: [holding up an Elmer Fudd style rifle] Where would you like me to shoot you?
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) I WAS BEING SARCASTIC!!!!
Chuquita: (chuckles) I knew that! [throws rifle into the backround] (to audiance) And now I'd like to introduce our
guest for the fic, Vejitto!
Vejitto: (smiles & sits down between Chu & Son; Veggie is on the other side of Son) (happily) Hi Chu-sama!
Vegeta: (confused) How come he has a ji instead of a ge?
Chuquita: Variety. Besides, this way I won't accidently goof up on the side panel and type your name instead.
Vegeta: (flatly) Oh.
Chuquita: (to audiance) As many of you might know, Vejitto is the fused offspring of Son-kun & Veggie when they used the
porta earrings to fuse into one saiyajin in order to defeat Majin Buu---which they never accomplished.
Vejitto: --because your purple-hairred friend picked me up halfway during the battle.
Chuquita: That is NOT the reason!
Vejitto: (narrows his eyes) Then what IS the reason?
Chuquita: Because you pulled a Veggie on him and got eaten.
Vejitto: OH YEAH! (grins)
Vegeta: (glares at Chu) WHAT IS _THAT_ SUPPOSED TO MEAN!
Goku: It means he was so busy being high-n-mighty that he didn't realize he lost till after he got eaten!
Vegeta: (angrily) (to Vejitto) WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU DOING THAT KEPT YOU SO BUSY FROM PAYING ATTENTION TO BUU!
Vejitto: ...I was busy counting to 10. (grins)
Vegeta: (slams his head on the desk) God, he IS related to Kakarrot isn't he.
Vejitto: (pats Veggie on the back) (cheerfully) Aww, don't worry Kaasan! It'll be oh-kay!
[Chu & Son burst into laughter]
Vegeta: (glares at him) WHAT did you call me?!
Vejitto: (innocently) Kaasan?
Vegeta: [leaps to his feet and starts strangling Veji; Simpsons style] (furious) KAASAN! HOW DARE YOU ADDRESS THE GREAT
AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI AS YOUR KAASAN!
Vejitto: (gasping for air) But you are...you are...
Goku: (squeals) Awwwwww, Veggie's a Mommy!
Vegeta: (to Goku) I AM _NOT_ THIS CREATURE'S _MOMMY_!!!
Vejitto: Yes...you...are. [Vegeta drops him angrily; then folds his arms & stomps back to his seat] (to Chu) Heck you can
do a DNA sample if you want to.
Vegeta: (grumbling) *grumble*...*grumble*.....A MOMMY...*grumble*
Goku: (giggles) Oh Veggie, I think you'll make a great Mommy!
Vegeta: YOU SHUT UP!
Goku: (snickers)
Vejitto: (to Goku) That makes you my Toussan you know.
Goku: (eyes widened with excitement) OH _BOY_! I'M A DADDY---AGAIN!---FOR THE THIRD TIME!.....(pauses) Hmm, I wonder how I'm
gonna explain THIS ONE to Chi-Chi...
Chuquita: (rolls her eyes) I'm sure she'll be thrilled.
Goku: [pulls out his cellphone] GREAT! I'LL CALL HER THEN!
Chuquita: (yelps) NO!!! [tackles him & takes the cell phone] Last thing I need is her coming back here; last time she
overthrew the place!
Goku: ...oh YEAH! I forgot!
Vegeta: (glares at Vejitto) HOW COME _KAKARROT_ GETS TO BE THE DADDY AND _I_ HAVE TO BE THE MOMMY!
Vejitto: No reason, really. I just think you'd make the better Kaasan then Ka--(starts shaking in convultions; then stops
suddenly)--Goku, would.
Goku: (conserned) Why did you start shaking?
Vejitto: OH! I have these two little voices in the back of my head; and whenever they start arguing with each other one of
them tries to take control of the body here. [points to himself]
Goku: Voices.....(perks up) OH! They must be whatever's left of me and Veggie!
Vejitto: (chuckles nervously) Yeah, actually their voices are eeriely similiar to you two.
Vegeta: (grumbles) Oh great; he's psychotic too.
Chuquita: HEY! You should be happy to have Vejit here! He's the last generation of full-blooded saiyajins!
Vegeta: HE DOES NOT COUNT! HE IS AN EMBARASSMENT! HE'S NOT EVEN A _REAL_ SAIYAJIN! HE'S JUST ME AND KAKARROT FUSED TOGETHER!
Vejitto: (sniffling)
Goku: (hugs Vejit) Ohhhh, don't worry Ji-chan, Mommy still loves you, she's just in one of her little moods. (looks over @
Veggie) (w/big sparkily eyes) Isn't that right 'MOMMY'?
Vegeta: (growling) I DON'T HAVE TO SIT AROUND FOR THIS! _YOU_ CAN STAY HERE WITH THIS, THIS THIS--
Goku: (grins) Our baby?
Vegeta: HE'S NOT OUR BABY!!! HE'S A FULL-GROWN ADULT SAIYAJIN LIKE US!
Goku: (happily) (to Vejit) Here that Ji-chan! Your Mommy says you're a big boy now too!
Vegeta: AAUGH! [stomps off] [from offstage] I AM _NOT_ HIS MOMMY!!!
Goku: (sweetly) Are so.
Vejitto: I love you Mommy!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) (thinking) ::This must be the longest Corner we've ever had:: [to audiance] And now for today's fic;
if you can't tell from the title, it's a camping story.
Goku: With Veggie, Mirai, Bura, and I!
Chuquita: And (I think) the third "Veggie's firsts" story we've had!
Goku: Watch as we trek across the forest; hunt wild animals; roast marshmellows and make little tents to sleep in under the
moonlight!
Chuquita: You make it sound like it's going to be a fun, easy time, don't you.
Goku: You mean it's not?
Chuquita: (cheerfully) Not a chance!


Summary: Goku's taking Veggie on his very first camping trip on Earth; and the ouji's not happy about it one bit, so Mirai
& Bura come along to make sure the prince's sanity stays in one piece over the weekend. What happens when an unexpected
storm knocks them off course into a part of the forest even Goku doesn't know the way out of?! How will they survive? How
will they get home? How will Veggie survive having to share a tent with "Kakarrot"? Find out!

Ages:
Trunks: 8
Goten: 7
Bura: 7
Mirai: (beats me)
*****************************************************************************************************************************

" No, no, no, and NO! " Vegeta shouted as he threw upon the doors and stomped out of the kitchen.
" PLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSSSE Veggie! " Goku begged, following the ouji into the living room, " It'll be so much more
fun with you along! "
" I _SAID_ NO! There is absolutely NO WAY I am going an entire two days in a stupid forest 'camping' with YOU! "
he sneered, then layed down on the couch & covered his entire body with the blanket.
" Well _I_ think it's a great idea. " Bulma said. Vegeta poked his head out from under the blanket.
" You WOULD, onna. " he grumbled, then pulled the blanket back over himself.
" I'm SERIOUS, Vegeta. " Bulma put her hands on her hips, " You've been spending WAY too much time in the gravity
room lately, it's going to make you sick! "
" OH? And I suppose living out in the damp, germ-ridden woods with KAKARROT is going to do WONDERS for my health. "
Vegeta remarked sarcastically through the blanket.
" As a matter of fact, I think it'll do you a LOT of good to get some fresh air. " Bulma said as-a-matter-of-factly.
Goku gasped with delight, " Camping time w/Veggie AFTER ALL? "
The ouji lept out onto the floor, " I AM _NOT_ GOING CAMPING WITH KAKARROT AND THAT'S THAT! "
Bulma sent him a death-glare. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" On...second thought maybe it WILL help me...in some bizzare, twisted way. " Vegeta laughed nervously.
" That's better. " Bulma smirked at him. The ouji glared back at her.
" YAY!!! I'M GOIN CAMPING WITH VEGGIE! " Goku cheered, then grabbed Vegeta by the wrist & ran upstairs, " COME ON
VEGGIE! WE GOTTA GET YOU PACKED UP AND READY TO GO! "
Vegeta groaned, " Oh goody... "


" And you're gonna need some sunblock and some ointment and some bug spray and a flashlight and-- " Goku threw
various supplies out of Vegeta's clothes drawers and onto the bed.
" What do NEED all this stuff for! We're only going be gone 2 days! " Vegeta complained, " I've survived MONTHS on
barren planets without anything but a spitoon and a breakfast-bar! "
" Hi Toussan! Hi Mr. Goten's Daddy, whatcha doin? " Bura asked, standing in the doorway and smiling at them.
" Hi BOO-RAH! " Goku said happily, " Me-n-Veggie are goin camping this weekend and I'm just getting him all ready,
he's never been camping before! "
Bura's eyes sparkled, " Toussan's going on his VERY FIRST camping trip! And with Mr. Goten's Daddy who Toussan LOVES
SO VERY VERY MUCH!! "
The ouji's face turned bright red, " B-CHAAAAN! " he exclaimed, slapping his hand over Bura's mouth, " YOU CUT THAT
OUT! I DO _NOT_ LOVE KAKARROT! "
" Veggie hates me? "
Vegeta looked over his shoulder to see Goku staring at him with big watery eyes and his bottom lip wobbling in
despair. Vegeta felt himself sniffle a couple times at the sight, then snarled at him, " I DIDN'T SAY _THAT_! I DON'T HATE
YOU I ONLY DISLIKE YOU! "
" Veggie LOVES me! " Goku cheered, perking up.
Vegeta sweatdropped, " I just can't win with you, can I. "
" You know what you're gonna need Toussan is some camping clothes! " Bura smiled, determined.
" Camping...clothes? " Vegeta looked at her, confused, " You mean I need special clothes to go..."camping"? "
" Mmm-hmm! " Bura nodded, " And I know JUST WHERE to get some! "


" Your ROOM? " Vegeta scratched his head, baffled as the trio stood in Bura's room. Bura was busy rumaging through
her closets.
" You know Bura, Veggie really doesn't need any SPECIFIC kind of outfit to go camping with me, right little buddy? "
Goku grinned down at Vegeta, who narrowed his eyes at the biggers saiyajin.
Bura cringed, then turned around, snarling at the duo, surprising them, " IF _I_ SAY TOUSSAN NEEDS A SPECIAL OUTFIT
TO GO CAMPING THEN HE NEEDS A SPECIAL OUTFIT TO GO CAMPING!!! " her eyes glowed red, " IS THAT CLEAR!! "
" Yes B-chan! " Vegeta said sweetly. Goku nervously cowered behind the prince.
" Veggie--Veggie her EYES! " he whispered, frightened, " I've never seen Bura's eyes GLOW before! "
" They were glowing? " Vegeta looked at him oddly.
" YES THEY WERE GLOWING! " Goku whispered louder.
Vegeta smirked, " Kakarrot you're seeing things. "
" I am not I know what I saw! "
" TA-DA! " Bura said, interupting them. She held up a Veggie-sized army-green cub-scout uniform, " Isn't it cute! "
" OOoooooh! " Goku's eyes widened as Vegeta turned a pale white color.
" You...have to be...kidding me... " he gawked.
" Aww, look at it THIS WAY little buddy, at least it's not PINK. " Goku pointed out.
The ouji smiled, slightly relieved, " You're right Kakarrot, it isn't pink, is it. "
Bura giggled, " Nope! " she said, then turned the uniform around, " Not unless you count the cute little bow I tied
around the back! "
Vegeta gulped at the big fluffy pink bow hanging just above the uniform's bottom, " B-chan? " he said quickly, " I
really appreciate you trying to help me and all but I just don't think--I mean it's an "interesting" uniform, but I think I'd
be more comfortable in--it's not you, it's just that-- " he sputtered as Bura stared up at him innocently, " I--don't want
to look stupid infront of Kakarrot. "
" Aww, it's because you love him too much and you're afraid if he laughs at you it'll break your little Toussan heart
aren't you! " Bura said sweetly.
" MY LITTLE BUDDY _LOVES_ ME? " Goku grinned widely at Vegeta.
" B-CHAN! DON'T GET HIM STARTED AGAIN! " Vegeta exclaimed, then glanced over at Goku, who was now staring at him with
big sparkily eyes, " KAKARROOOOT!!! " he whinced, feeling his face glow bright red again.
" Yes, little buddy Veggie WHO LOVES ME? " Goku smiled at him, the sparkily eyes still on his face.
" Ehhhh... " Vegeta turned his head the other way, hoping the glow would fade faster, " Kakarrot, why don't you go
pack your things--or something. " he put one of his hands over his eyes & motioned Goku out of the room with the other one.
" Silly Veggie! I already have everything I need in this little capsule in my pocket! " he patted his right pants
pocket, " I packed it this morning! "
" Well then--GO FINISH PACKING _MY_ THINGS! " Vegeta shouted.
" Oh-kay little Veggie! " Goku saluted him, then happily paraded out of the room, " I'm goin camping with Veggie! I'm
going camping with Veggie! " he said in a sing-song voice as he left.
" Ohh, " Vegeta sighed, " You know B-chan I really have to talk to you about instigating him like that. " he groaned.
" But Toussan, you two LOVE each other SOOOOOO much! " Bura giggled, hugging the uniform she was holding, " Why would
you EVER want to ignore someone you have such a SOFT SPOT in your HEART for? "
" THERE IS NO SOFT SPOT!!! " Vegeta screamed, then calmed down and grabbed the outfit from her, " Now how do you put
this thing on anyway? "



" There! " Goku said, smiling at his finished product; a gigantic backpack stuffed with so many items it was bulging
at the seems, " Whadda think Mirai? " he said to the boy from the future of the alternate dimension.
" Uhhh, don't you think it's a little too BIG for Toussan to carry, Son-San? " Mirai said, worried.
" Aww, heck no! " Goku grinned, " Besides, my little Veggie ALWAYS likes a good challenge! "
" That looks like a good challenge alright. " Mirai laughed nervously, observing the backpack, " How heavy--is it? "
" Ummm, I dunno, couple tons. " Goku said casually.
" A COUPLE TONS! " Mirai nearly gagged, " HE'LL BREAK HIS BACK! "
" No he won't, Veggie's got a lotta SPUNK in him. Know what I mean! " Goku said happily, then made a fist.
" Spunk...there's a nice name for it. " Mirai mumbled.
" OH MR. GOTEN'S DADDY! WE'RE DONE! " Bura called from upstairs. Goku left the backpack on the livingroom couch
Vegeta had been resting on earlier and ran up the stairs, followed by Mirai.
Bura stood infront of her bedroom door in a pink safari-girl outfit, " Oh Tou-SAN! " she called, " Everybody's
waiting JUST FOR YOU! "
Vegeta opened the door and slowly, and embrassed, walked out in the green cub-scout uniform. One slight addition, a
light pink ribbon wrapped around his head and ending with a small bow sitting ontop of his large widow's peak.
" OH-MY-GOODNESS-VEGGIE-YOU-LOOK-SO-CYUUUUUTE! " Goku squealed, zipping over to the ouji & hugging him tightly, " Oh
my Veggie's so adorable in his lil scout-gear! " he swung Vegeta back & forth as he hugged him.
" And what are you wearing THAT for? " Mirai looked down at Bura suspicously.
" Why, I'm going along with Toussan & Mr. Goten's Daddy on their camping trip! " she said sweetly. Goku froze, then
unintentionally dropped Vegeta to the ground.
" NO YOU CAN'T! " he gasped, " This is gonna be a 'buddy-bonding' weekend just between me and my little buddy! " he
grabbed Vegeta & squeezed him again, " I never said you could come! "
" But Mr. Goten's Daddy, who's gonna be there to watch over you and make sure you & Toussan get in all the
'buddy-bonding' time you can possibly get? " she asked innocently.
" Don't you dare. " Mirai narrowed his eyes at Bura, talking nearly under his breath.
" Oh I dare. " Bura said back at him in the same tone of voice. She turned back to Goku & Vegeta, " SO! " Bura said
in her normal peppy tone, " How about it? "
" Yes B-chan! " Vegeta grinned at her.
" But--but Veggie! " Goku whined, " The EYES. The GLOWING EVIL RED PUPIL-LESS eyes! "
" I don't know WHAT you're talking about Kakarrot. " Vegeta said stubbornly, " And I don't care! " he smiled at Bura,
" Come B-chan! Let's go get my things that Kakarrot HAD BETTER HAVE FINISHED PACKING BY NOW. " he glared at Goku.
" Umm, Son-San? " Mirai spoke up.
" Yes Mirai? " Goku said, disappointed.
" Do you think _I_ could come with you guys as well? I've never been on a camping trip before; you know, not many
normal childhood memories--the androids, you understand. "
" Hmm? Oh, oh-kay Mirai. You can come. " Goku rubbed his nose, " I just wanted it to be a special trip with me &
Veggie! But NO! Bura's gotta come in with her creepy glowing eyes and ruin all the buddy-ness me & Veggie were gonna share on
the trip. "
" Actually Son-San, I think she's coming along to try and create just the opposite--to the EXTREME. " he glared down
the stairs at Bura, " And I have to keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't do so. "
" Mmm....Oh-kay! " Goku said cheerfully, lightening the mood, " Now come on Mirai; I'll go help you pack your own
camp stuff! You won't BELIEVE half the stuff you need just go camping for 2 days! It's AMAZING! "


" B-chan, I really think the little pink ribbon's a bit much. " Vegeta said uneasily as he looked at himself in the
mirror and tugged at the ribbon around his head, " It's a humiliating object to be worn by the GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN
NO OUJI! "
" Mr. Goten's Daddy liked it, didn't he? " Bura giggled as they waited for Goku & Mirai.
" Who CARES if Kakarrot likes it, that just gives me reason to hate it more! " Vegeta whined, tugging at the ribbon
again.
" I think it makes you look VERY cuddily! " Bura smiled sweetly.
" I'm EVIL, evil is NOT supposed to look "cuddily", B-chan. " Vegeta grumbled.
" Aww, you're not evil Toussan, you've just got an attitude problem. " Bura said, " ...besides, "little buddies" are
supposed to be cuddily, aren't they? "
" How should I know! " Vegeta snapped at her, " Ask Kakarrot. HE'S the one who invented this whole "little buddy"
thing. "
" I think he's as lonely as you are. " Bura said, " I think Mr. Goten's Daddy made that "little buddy" thing up
because he never had any brothers or sisters. Kuririn, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, and Piccolo were all Mr. Goten's Daddy's "little
buddy" at one time but they didn't keep that title long cuz they couldn't relate to him the way YOU CAN Toussan. " she said,
buttering him up.
Vegeta's eyes widened with shock, " You mean there were OTHERS?! " he grasped at his chest, " Kaka-chan how could
you....I'LL BLAST YOU TO BITS!!! "
Bura sweatdropped, " He doesn't get it. "
" READY! " Goku said, hopping down the stairs. Mirai following him with a backpack as big as Vegeta's.
" This is what I get for asking Son-San to help me pack. " Mirai grumbled, " Stupid stupid stupid me! " he berated
himself.
" Little Veggie want me to help you get your lil Veggie-pack on? " Goku offered, holding Vegeta's back-pack up to
him.
" I'LL BLAST YOU THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO---you say something Kakarrot? " Vegeta said, coming out of his daydream.
" I said, do you need help with your REALLY BIG backpack? " Goku said.
" No Kakarrot, I DON'T need your help with my backpack nor want it. " Vegeta snorted at him, then noticed the size
of the backpack and let out a shriek, " WHAT IS THAT!!! "
" Your backpack. " Goku replied.
" THAT'S NO BACKPACK! THAT'S SOME KIND OF LARGE TORTURE DEVICE!!! " Vegeta gawked, " You're trying to KILL ME aren't
you! " he narrowed his eyes at Goku.
" Whatsa matter Veggie, don't you think you're strong enough to carry a SMALL BACKPACK like this? " Goku smirked.
" SMALL! THAT--THAT CREATION OF YOURS IS 10 TIMES AS BIG AS ME AND--what do you MEAN I don't think I'm strong enough
to carry a backpack that size! " Vegeta exclaimed.
" Nothing, it's just that you're SO TINY and this backpack is SO LARGE that you might not be able to carry it through
the woods. " Goku said sympathetically.
" TINY! GIVE ME THAT! " Vegeta put the backpack on, " I'LL SHOW _YOU_ WHO'S "tiny", KAKARROT! "
" ... " Goku opened his mouth.
" AND IT'S NOT ME!! " Vegeta snapped before he could say anything, " "tiny" he says... " he grumbled, then took one
step and screamed as he felt the weight of the backpack knocking him to the ground, nearly smashing him to bits.
" AHHH!!! AHH! THE PAIN THE PAIN! OH THE SUFFERING! SOMEONE END IT NOW!!! " the ouji wailed as he tried desperately
to breathe underneath the tremendous weight.
" I _ASKED_ you if you wanted me to help you but noooooo, you had to be a mister cocky-pants and do it all by
yourself. " Goku hmmphed, crossing his arms & stubbornly looking the other way.
" OHH!! KAKARROT PLEASE KAKARROT! JUST GET THE STUPID THING OFF OF ME!! " Vegeta shouted from beneath the backpack.
Goku smirked, " Say please? "
" PLEASE! "
" Say pretty please? "
" Ugh...pretty...please. " Vegeta gritted through his teeth.
" Say pretty pretty please with sugar on top? "
" KAKARROT!!! " Vegeta snarled.
" Say it. "
" UUUGGH!!! Pretty pretty please with sugar on top. " he muttered angrily.
" Say pretty pretty please with sugar on top and marshemellows and caramel and chocolate and unicorns and rainbows
and those little twinkies with the sprinkles in the middle! "
" JUST GET THE STUPID BACKPACK OFFA ME ALREADY!!! " Vegeta screamed at the top of his lungs.
Goku put his finger to his chin, " Mmm....OH-KAY VEGGIE! " he said happily, then easily picked up the backpack and
Vegeta along with it and set him down upright, " THERE! "
Vegeta grumbled as he dusted himself off, " Alright, now let's get this nightmare over with as soon as possible so I
can go back to training and plotting ways to wipe you off the face of the Earth. " he said to Goku, who just continued to
grin at him, " Ech...baka. "
" Aren't you gonna say thank you? " Goku said sadly as Vegeta stomped towards the front door.
" FINE! Thank you. "
" Say thank you Kakarrot that was VERY NICE of you to save me like that. "
" DON'T START _THAT_ AGAIN!!! " Vegeta yelled at him.
" Hey Toussan, where're ya goin? "
Vegeta glanced over at the stairs to see Trunks & Goten peering over the railing at them, " Kakarrot's taking us all
on a 'fun-filled' vacation communing with nature for the weekend. " he said dryly.
" YAY I WANNA COME! " Goten said happily.
" Will we get to hunt stuff? " Trunks said excitedly.
" Actually, yes. " Goku answered.
" YEAH! " both boys exclaimed.
" I'm not exactly sure you two wanna come. " Mirai shifted uneasily.
" Why not Mirai? " Goten asked.
Mirai nodded over to Bura in her pink safari gear who grinned up at the boys evilly.
" Ohhhh.... " Trunks gulped, turning a pale color, " Oh second thought Goten & I'd rather stay here after all. "
" Good choice. " Mirai nodded to them.
" But Trunks I wanna go! " Goten whined.
" We're not going if Bura's going Goten! " Trunks narrowed his eyes down at his sister. Bura just waved back to him.
" Why not! I like Bura! I wanna go play with her. " Goten pouted as they watched the quartet leave.
" Forget about her! " Trunks said, then smirked, " Besides, we have plenty of other places to have adventures in this
house; like Toussan's room. "
Goten gasped, " Trunks you know we're not allowed to go in Uncle Veggie's room! "
Trunks walked over to Vegeta's bedroom and opened the door, " Hey, what he doesn't know won't hurt him, right? "


" PRESENTING---THE FOREST! " Goku grinned as they stood infront of an enterance to a dark, dismal awry of woods.
" Wow....it's..it's... " Mirai said in awe.
" ...really spooky. " Bura stuck her tongue out in disqust, " How can you and Toussan possibly have any
"buddy-bonding" time in THIS PLACE! "
" Calm down Bura. You don't understand. " Mirai said, then proclaimed dramatically, " Camping in the woods is one of
the rights to adult-hood! The forest is a place where we can get in touch with our inner selves and truely re-discover the
beauty nature has to offer us! "
" ...HA! " Vegeta laughed in his face, " Alright Kakarrot, let's get this thing over with. " he grumbled at Goku, who
smiled back at him and led the group into the forest.
" Are you SURE you wanna go in THAT forest? " Bura prodded them.
" Well what other forest is there? " Goku asked, confused.
" The one back in my room, silly! " Bura smiled, " You and Toussan can camp out in my room and we can have a
sleepover and tell scary stories and eat junk food and have a sing-a-long! "
" We ARE gonna do all that stuff. " Goku replied happily as Bura brightened up, " --in the woods! " Bura sweatdropped
, " Now let's GO! " he said, then marched into the woods followed by Mirai, who mimicked Son; then Bura who frustratedly
dragged herself after them. Goku poked his head out of the woods, " You comin little buddy? "
" Bite me. " Vegeta snarled at him, trying desperately to stand up with the super-sized backpack on.
" Veggie are you sure you can carry that? Maybe I should carry it for you. " Goku said, worried.
" YES I CAN CARRY IT!!! " he yelled at him, then took a couple more agonizing steps forward, " See! " he smirked.
" Well, oh-kay then. I guess you're a lot stronger than I thought. " Goku smiled.
" I _AM_ strong, AREN'T I. " Vegeta said boastfully as Goku turned around. Vegeta waited for the bigger saiyajin to
disappear from his view, then dropped the backpack from around his arms & fell to his knees, gasping with relief, " Ohhhh,
my BACK! " he groaned, then noticed the backpack & sent a death-glare at it. Vegeta lept to his feet & threw a ki-blast at
the back-pack, obliterating it, " HA! TAKE _THAT_ LUGGAGE OF _EVIL_!! " he snorted, then rubbed his shoulders, trying to get
them working again, " Ahhhh, that's MUCH better. " Vegeta grinned, " What do I need a backpack for anyway? THE GREAT AND
POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI CAN SURVIVE MONTHS WITHOUT SUPPILES! AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! "


" I hate this! This stupid outfit's embarassing and the shorts are too short; I can't take one blasted step without
getting my shoes covered in animal doo! This forest smells! I must have at least 10 flies up my nose by now, I know it! I
can SMELL them up there! And they smell HORRIBLE! And the trees around here look familiar, are you sure you know where you're
going? You don't know where you're going do you! DO YOU! I _KNEW_ this was a stupid idea from the start why couldn't you have
asked me when that onna wasn't around so I could just tell you no and I wouldn't have to be out in the middle of the dum
forest with you wearing this goofy too-tight scouting uniform and my hair wouldn't be infested with head-lice! I can feel the
stupid things burrowing into my scalp right now! You don't have to SHAVE your hair when you get lice do you? BECAUSE I'M NOT
SHAVING ANYTHING AND IF THERE ARE LICE IN MY HAIR IT'LL BE _ALL YOUR FAULT_!!! "
" Aww, cheer up little buddy! You'll have lots of fun, you'll see! " Goku said, trying to encourage him.
" FUN! HOW CAN I HAVE FUN IN A PLACE LIKE THIS! AND LOOK HOW DAMP IT IS! With my luck I'll have caught pneumonia by
tommorow morning! " Vegeta continued to complain.
Goku sweatdropped, " This reminds me of the last time I took Chi-Chi camping. " he groaned.


:::" GOKU ARE YOU NUTS! THIS IS NO SANITARY PLACE FOR US TO TAKE OUR SON! " Chi-Chi yelled at him, holding baby-Gohan
in her arms.
" Aww, cheer up Chi-chan, you'll have lots of fun you'll see! "
" FUN! HOW CAN I HAVE FUN IN A PLACE LIKE THIS! AND LOOK HOW DAMP IT IS! With my luck our poor little Gohan will have
caught pneumonia by tommorow morning! "
" But Chi-Chi! I'm sure he'll love camping! " Goku whined.
" Goku--HE'S TWO!! HE'S NOT GOING TO EVEN _REMEMBER_ THIS CAMPING TRIP! BUT _I WILL_! AND IT STINKS! LITERALLY! This
place is a pigsty! We're going home! "
" But Chi-- "
" WE'RE--GOING--HOME--NOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!! "
Goku gulped, " Yes Chi-chan. " he said meekly:::


" Yup, deja vu. " Goku nodded as he continued to lead the gang deeper into the forest, then suddenly turned around
and screamed, " AND WE'RE _NOT_ GOING HOME!!! "
" ... " Mirai, Bura, and Vegeta stared at him, bewildered.
" What? " Mirai looked around, confused.
" Uhhhm, nothing, nevermind. " Goku brushed it away, then went on walking only to end up before a fork in the road.
" Which way do we go Son-San? " Mirai inquired.
" Well...uhm... " Goku scratched his head, trying to recall which direction he should take, " Hold on, let me think."
Bura glanced up at the raincloud dotted sky, which had now become a dark black color, " Well you better think quick
Mr. Goten's Daddy. " she said, slightly nervous as she clung to Vegeta's leg, " Cuz if we don't find your camping spot soon
we're gonna get caught in the storm. "
" Hmmph! " Vegeta snorted, " The great and powerful saiyajin no ouji fears NO "storm". " he boasted, then froze as
a tree several miles behind him got hit with lightening, sending it ablaze and then falling to the ground, " EEK! " Vegeta
shrieked in a high-pitched voice, " KAKAY KAKAY KAKAY! " he screamed, zipping behind Goku. The ouji glanced up at Goku, then
turned beet red with embarassment, " Heh-heh, heh-heh. " Vegeta chuckled nervously, then pushed Goku away, " I thought I told
you to keep away from me bakarrot! " he growled angrily.
" But Veggie you never said anything about-- " Goku said, confused.
" SHUT UP! " Vegeta snapped at him, " Now which way do we go! "
" Umm, how abouuuuuut--right. " Goku pointed in that direction. The gang sweatdropped as more lightening suddenly
came down out of the sky and zapped some more trees, " On second thought---EVERYBODY GO LEFT!!! " he yelped as the frightened
group of campers ran in a panic down the left road just as the rain started coming down, AND heavily.
" AHHHH!!! " they all screamed, barely being able to see where they were running.
" EVERYBODY HOLD HANDS SO WE DON'T LOSE EACH OTHER! " Goku shouted. Mirai picked up Bura and grabbed ahold of Goku's
hand, " VEGETA! " Goku held his other hand out towards the ouji running beside him, " GRAB MY HAND SO WE CAN'T GET SEPERATED
FROM ONE ANOTHER! "
" Ha! If you think I'm going to hold your third-class kako-germed kaka-hand then you're mistaken! " Vegeta said
stubbornly.
" PLEASE TOUSSAN! " Bura cried, " WE CAN'T LOSE YOU! YOU'RE THE ONE THIS TRIP IS FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE! "
" Well... " Vegeta faltered at Bura's plea, " I-- " he glanced over at Goku, who had a look of pure desperation on
his face.
" VEH-GEE! " Goku shouted, " PLEASE TAKE IT VEGGIE! "
" But--I--_YOU_-- " Vegeta sputtered, frustrated.
" *BOOM*! " a clap of thunder echoed from behind Vegeta, sending his heart nearly leaping into his throat with fear.
" AHH KAKA-CHAN!!! " he grabbed ahold of Goku's free hand.
Goku grinned at him, " Hee! That's my lil Veggie! "
" Heh-heh. " the ouji felt his face glowing red again, " Kakarrotto! "
" Yeah Veggie? " Goku said as the group continued to run.
" The--the--thank...you. " Vegeta spat out, " AND DON'T YOU DARE EXPECT ME TO SAY IT AGAIN! "
Mirai felt the rain begin to stop and slowed down, " Hey, I think it's over. " he smiled, then felt a rush of cold
wind blow past them.
Goku turned his head to see a huge, tornado-like swirl of wind heading towards them, " ... "
" Mr. Goten's Daddy what'll we do! " Bura sobbed.
" Hold on, " Goku answered, " Hold on to each other VERY VERY tightly. "
" AND JUST _WHY_ DO WE HAVE TO DO THAT! " Vegeta yelled. Goku pointed to the wind, " Oh no.... "
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! "



" Ohhhhhh, " Mirai sat up & rubbed his head, " Wha, wha happened? " he looked around, and was at first relieved to
find all 4 of the group were merely a foot away from each other. Then panic set in as Mirai realized he had no idea where
they were. " SON-SAN! " he ran over to Goku, who was still unconsious, along with Vegeta who was hugging onto the bigger
saiyajin for dear life, " SON-SAN WAKE UP!! " Mirai shouted. Bura sat up from across from Mirai and adjusted her pink safari
hat, which had miraculously stayed on her head.
" Huh? Muh--Mirai? " Goku looked up at him, " Is everyone here? "
" Yeah, but we don't know where we are. " Mirai said, conserned.
" Mirai, Bura,...hey, where's Veggie? " Goku gulped, worried. Mirai sweatdropped & pointed to the ouji, who was still
holding onto Goku. He looked down at him and grinned, " Awww, hi little buddy! "
Vegeta's eyes popped open as he stopped shaking. He glanced up at Goku, who smiled at the prince.
" You oh-kay little buddy? " Goku smiled as Vegeta turned red with embarassment, " I'll take that as yes! " Goku said
cheerfully, then pulled Vegeta off him and sat him down on the ground. Goku got up, took one look around, and paled.
" What? What is it? " Mirai gasped.
" Now THIS doesn't look very familiar. " Goku said, baffled.
" You--you mean, you don't know where we are?! " Mirai said, trying to remain calm.
" No clue. " Goku grinned, nodding.
" KAKARROTTO!!! " Vegeta screamed angrily, jumping to his feet, " KAKARROT YOU IMBECILE! YOU'VE GOTTEN US LOST!
HAVEN'T YOU! "
" No! " Goku gawked, " ...yes. "
Vegeta, Mirai, & Bura fell down animé style.
" GOKU! " Mirai shouted.
" Mr. Goten's Daddy how could you... " Bura said weakly.
" HOW DARE YOU!! " Vegeta grabbed Goku by the collar & pulled him down to the ouji's height, " YOU DRAG ME DOWN TO
THIS STUPID FOREST AND GET US LOST!! YOU HAVE TO BE THE MOST IDIOTIC IDIOT IN THE HISTORY OF IDIOCY! "
" Huh? " Goku cocked his head, confused.
" EXACTLY! " Vegeta pushed him away, exasperated.
" Calm down little buddy, I didn't get us lost. " Goku waved his hands in defense, " We're just...in a part of the
woods I've never been to before. "
" Well I guess that counts as being LOST, doesn't it. " Vegeta glared at him.
" I'm sorry little Veggie, I didn't even know there was going to be a storm. " Goku sighed, " But let's make the best
of it and set up our tents, right? " he said as he, Mirai, and Bura started to unpack their things and tent parts.
" HEY! WHERE'S _MY_ TENT! " Vegeta complained.
" In your backpack. " Goku said as he surveyed his own things.
" Oh, in my back....uh-oh. "
" "uh-oh"? Veggie? " Goku scratched his head.
" "Uh-oh", I left my backpack outside the forest? " Vegeta said, trying not to make eye-contact.
" Well, let's just go back and get it, alright? " Goku said, patting the short prince on the back.
" Umm, oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I blew it up too. " Vegeta added.
" WHAT?! WHY! "
" ...IT WAS TOO DARN HEAVY THAT'S WHY! " Vegeta exclaimed, " Now just give me an extra tent or something! " he huffed
, holding his arm out.
" Veggie, we don't HAVE any extra tents. " Goku said uneasily, then grinned, " But don't worry! I have an idea that's
EVEN BETTER! "
Vegeta gulped, " Better? "
" Yup! Since you don't have your stuff, you can share with me! We can be tent-mates, just like back when we shared
that bunk at Uncle Tim's after you broke yours! It'll be FUN! " Goku squealed.
" Fun... " Vegeta shivered, " Right... "

END OF PART ONE!
Chuquita: (happily) And so ends part 1 of "Camp Kakarrot".
Vejitto: (glancing up at the story) Poor Mommy, always getting into scrapes like that.
Vegeta: (from offstage) I TOLD YOU ALREADY! I AM NOT YOUR MOMMY!!!
Chuquita: (smirks at Veggie) Well, someone's a bit testy today aren't they?
Vegeta: [pokes his head into the room] (angrily) WELL HOW WOULD _YOU_ LIKE IT IF SOME HALF-KAKO FUSED NIMROD CAME ON THE
SHOW AND STARTING CALLING _YOU_ MOMMY!
Goku: (grinning at Vejitto) Aww, just look at him Veggie! [clasps his hands together] He's got his Mommy's eyes and his
Daddy's smile!
Vegeta: (turns a pale green) I think I'm gonna be sick!
Chuquita: Good, go be sick somewhere else.
Vegeta: (surprised) Since when are YOU kicking me out?!
Chuquita: I'm not--but if you start throwing up it's not gonna be all over me!
Vegeta: [snorts and sits back down at the Corner desk] Hmmph! The GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI never regurgitates
his digested food consuptions.
Vejitto: (grins Goku-style) Mommy talks so silly!
Goku: (mirrors Vejitto's grin) Yes she does!
Vegeta: (to Goku) AND WILL YOU STOP CALLING ME "she"! I AM _NOT_ A SHE! I AM A MAN!!
Goku: (cheerfully) And a Mommy to boot!
Chuquita: (snickers) Heh-heh-heh...
Vegeta: (glares at Chu) You're enjoying this, aren't you?
Chuquita: Yes, yes I am.
Vegeta: (growls) ERRRRR...
Vejitto: [slaps a sticker on the front of Veggie's training uniform] (giggles)
Vegeta: (glances down at the sticker which reads 'Number #1 Mommy') (sweatdrops) Oh yeah, this has GOT to be the most bizzare
situation I've ever been in.
Chuquita: Not really, but it's up there on the charts!
Vegeta: (raises an eyebrow) CHARTS?!
Chuquita: [pulls out a giant posterboard entitled "Bizzare Veggie Situations"] (happily) See! [points to chart] This one's
up there between the time you got turned into a doll; overstuffed; and turned back--but only into a SUPER FATTY Veggie, and
the time you got turned into a statue and got sat on by that giant pigeon and cracked into tiny little pebbles.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) You're keeping track of my misfortunes?
Chuquita: Well, yeah.
Vegeta: (groans) Ehhhh...
Chuquita: (to audiance) Stay tuned in next time when we delve into how Vejitto got his name; and more importantly, Part 2!
Goku: (happily) C u Later!
