Welcome everyone! This story takes place seven years after the Majin Buu Saga. The day starts out normal enough (for DBZ, that is); but then things take a odd, but hilarious turn! I had a lot of fun writing this and it was quite a challenge. It's rated T for Teen due to some language and mild sexual innuendos. Nothing bad, just extremely funny!

A Magnetic Personality

One

As the smoke cleared away, there was no sign of their opponent

As the smoke cleared away, there was no sign of their opponent. Once again the Z-fighters had successfully defended the earth. Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan watched from the edge of the battlefield as Gogeta inspected the area to be sure the battle was truly over. The fusion would only last a few more moments and then Goku and Vegeta would each be himself again. He had to be sure there was no trace of the enemy left and the job was finished. Besides, he hated surprises. Then, there was a glowing flash of light and the fusion was ended.

"Boy, that gives me the creeps every time I see it," said Krillin, "There's just something unnatural about the whole thing."

"Hey!" bellowed Piccolo, "There's nothing creepy or unnatural about it!"

Krillin winced and mumbled "So-rry!" under his breath. He had forgotten for a moment about Piccolo's multiple fusions and that to a Namek; it was a natural part of life, like birth and death to humans. He mentally promised himself not to go there again.

Vegeta was just getting to his feet and was trying to clear his head from the break in the fusion. Normally, it only took a few seconds to recover, but this time he was having trouble. His head was fuzzy inside and he couldn't quite focus his eyes. Something wasn't quite right, but he couldn't make out what it was. He had a hard time getting up and he felt sort of clumsy and uncoordinated. His arms felt gangly and his hands felt cold. His feet felt large and heavy and he couldn't get them to do what he wanted them to do. Vegeta reached up to rub his eyes to see if that would help them focus any better. With his hands pressed against his face, he stopped dead still. A slight panic began to race through him. He couldn't feel his gloves against his skin. Instead he felt warm flesh. 'Could I have lost them?' he thought, 'yes, that's it, I've lost them somewhere during the break in the fusion'. He took his hands away from his face and looked down at them.

"Wha? Yeeah!" yelled Vegeta in a strange, high pitched, squeaky voice. He immediately slapped both hands over his mouth and squeezed his eyes shut in disbelief. 'What the hell is going on here', he thought. Panic began to overwhelm him. Slowly, he stretched his hands out in front of himself and stared in disbelief. No wonder his hands felt cold and he hadn't felt the familiar soft kid leather against his skin. These were not his hands he was looking at; they were Kakkarot's hands! Then he looked down at his feet. Blue boots? Orange trousers? His hands shot to the top of his head. "Ya! My hair!" yelped Vegeta. That voice! It was Kakkarot's voice coming out of his mouth, instead of that familiar sultry growl.

Vegeta quickly looked around. He knew if he was in trouble, so was Kakkarot. He saw that Goku was still on the ground. Goku was sitting up, rubbing his head (actually, Vegeta's head), trying to shake off whatever had happened. Vegeta tried to jog over to himself to see if his body was all right. 'Good lord, this body is huge and awkward!' thought Vegeta, 'how does Kakkarot manage to move around, let alone fight in this body?'

Vegeta hadn't given any thought to the impact that this might have on Goku. After all, seeing yourself staring back at you could be quite a blow. Turns out it was. Goku looked up to see himself stumbling toward him. Goku let out a yelp and jumped up on a high, rocky outcropping and was clinging to it for dear life. He looked down at himself. What appeared to be him; was looking back at him, with his legs spread, his arms crossed over his broad chest, and a look in his eye that somehow seemed familiar, but his couldn't quite place it somehow.

"Who are you?" yelled Goku, and his hand immediately shot up to his mouth, nearly making him lose his grip on the rocky
precipice. 'Was that Vegeta's voice?' thought Goku. He looked down past his nose only to see the hand over his mouth was covered with a white kid glove. "Yaaa!" yelled Goku as he jumped back. Goku started to slide down the rock face on his backside, but caught himself quickly.

"Be careful with my body, Kakkarot!" yelled Vegeta, "If you damage it, I swear I'll do something nasty to yours while it's still in my possession!"

Goku climbed down off the rocks and lightly touched down on the ground in front of himself. He then started bouncing round on the ends of his toes, looking rather amused.

"Wow, your body is so light and flexible, but the strength is incredible," said Goku. He was becoming accustomed to his new body a lot faster than Vegeta was becoming accustomed to his. "No wonder I have such a hard time fighting you". Goku shot up into the air and did a triple somersault and landed lightly on his new feet. "Wow, this is great!" he chirped. Goku began inspecting his new body, Vegeta's body, more closely, looking it over from top to bottom.

"Kakkarot, this is no time to..." began Vegeta. He was quickly growing tired of Goku's foolishness.

"Hey, nice butt too!" chirped Goku as he looked behind himself.

"Kakkarot!" yelled Vegeta, embarrassed and incensed.

"Sorry, that was a little personal, huh?" said Goku sheepishly as he scratched the back of his or rather Vegeta's head.

By this time Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan had made their way down to the two flustered Sayians. Piccolo had picked up most of the conversation and had told the others what he thought had happened. He seemed very concerned about what had occurred. If Goku and Vegeta had switched bodies in the fusion break; it might be difficult, if not impossible, to put them back. Krillin, on the other hand, thought this was amusing and having heard Goku's last statement about Vegeta's backside, was having a difficult time holding in his laughter.

Gohan was having his own problems with it as well. "Oh no way!" thought Gohan, "it's that Ginyu thing all over again! We'd better fix this quick. I don't think I could get used to calling Vegeta 'dad'. And mom? Oh no! Mom's gonna freak if she finds out!"

"Well, she isn't going to find out", said Vegeta, "and nether is Bulma or anyone else. Got that?"

Gohan looked thoroughly embarrassed because he hadn't realized until then, that he had expressed his thoughts out loud so that everyone could hear them.

"Yes, dad", sputtered Gohan, "I mean...oh Kami, help me."

"Sorry Gohan, but I think we'll have to figure this one out ourselves," said Piccolo sullenly. He turned to address Vegeta's body, "Goku, do you have any ideas how this could have happened?"

"No, I don't", replied Goku, "all I know about this is, if the fusion dance isn't done correctly, the fusion comes out wrong. I've never heard of anything going wrong at the end of one."

Suddenly, his face brightened. "I know", said Goku, "I think I know where I can find the jinn who taught me this in the Otherworld and maybe he knows how to reverse this."

Everyone's face brightened as they all nodded in agreement. "I'll be right back!" said Goku and he placed two white-gloved fingers on his forehead. He concentrated hard on the image of the old jinn and then... Nothing happened! "Huh?" said Goku as he stared at the ends of his two fingers thoughtfully.

"Oh no, it didn't work", said Krillin sounding worried.

"I wonder what else doesn't work", said Gohan, sounding a little nervous.

Goku and Vegeta stared at each other for a few minutes and then Vegeta, in Goku's body, jumped up into the air trying to focus his ki to fly. Instead, he ended up in a very undignified heap on the ground. It appeared they couldn't fly either.

"Damn clumsy body!" swore Vegeta as he was getting up.

"Hey!" countered Goku, "My body isn't clumsy. It's you. My body is just as coordinated as yours is. You just don't know how to handle being in a bigger body. It's not my fault your short!"

"Shit!" said Piccolo under his breath. He knew where this was going to go and fast.

"Oh, that does it, Kakkarot!" screamed Vegeta, "Your mine! Right here, right now! I'm through playing with you now!" Vegeta had managed to keep his temper in check until now, but that 'short' crack was all he was going to take. Completely forgetting that he wasn't in his own body and that any damage he managed to do, would be to himself and not Kakkarot, had gone out the window along with his temper. He assumed the power-up position to become super Sayian and in an instant reaction, so did Goku. As they both attempted to power up, they both let out a tremendous roar at the top of their lungs. Then, they both stood there looking bewildered at each other because apparently they couldn't power up either.

"I never realized how silly that really looks without all the fireworks", mumbled Gohan.

"It does look a little goofy, doesn't it", snickered Krillen.

"Alright, that's enough!" demanded Piccolo, "we need to keep our heads about this, so we can find an answer." The two Sayians backed down looking foolish. "And it isn't funny either." He addressed this remark to Krillin and Gohan, who looked embarrassed and blushed.

"What if we tried the fusion again", offered Gohan, "maybe it would come out okay this time."

"No, Gohan", cautioned Piccolo, "it's too risky. It could be worse or even fatal if we don't know exactly what went wrong the first time."

Piccolo thought for a moment and then said, "Gohan, you may have been right about asking for Kami's help earlier. I'm going to go to Kami's and see if we can't get a message to King Kai or to Baba. Maybe one of them can find this jinn and get the answer we need. In the meantime, I suggest you all go home and get some rest. This may take awhile."

As Piccolo took off for Kami's place, the group gathered to figure out what to do about 'home'.

What will Goku and Vegeta do now? I think they would both rather fight Brolly than go home to their wives and try to explain this! Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please leave comments either way.
