Quote of the Week: -from dbz movie 3 "The Ultimate Decisive Battle for Earth"
Gokuh: What do you think Gohan?
Gohan: Thank you toussan!
Gokuh: But don't tell your kaasan.

Chuey's Corner:
Vegeta: (smirks) For some reason I find it very platonically-attractive when you rebel against Onna, Kakarrotto.
Goku: (sweatdrops) ...
Chuquita: Welcome to the story everybody! (grins) It's a parody of Movie 3; only it takes place in the present!
Vegeta: Meaning I get to meet this "evil" Kakarrotto as well?
Chuquita: (nods) Exactly! You, Raditsu, the fusions, all of you get to do battle against Turles and stop him from destroying
the planet through the use of fresh fruit!
Vegeta: (looks up) ...why is the title in spanish?
Chuquita: Well, I was stuck for a title so originally I was gonna write the title in japanese with a twist on the movie
title; but the words were too long to stick in a title. So I decided on the language other than english that I can actually
write fairly well; spanish!
Goku: Or "Food-Fight".
Chuquita: Yeah, ya know what, that's better than "La Ultima Batalla del Alimento". Let's call it "Food-Fight" instead.
(clicks and re-types title)
Goku: YAY!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Are you just in the mood to agree with Kakarrotto or what?
Chuquita: It's easier to type and remember a two-word title than a five-word one Veggie. Besides it's the same thing, really.
La ultima batalla del alimento translated is; the ultimate battle of food. And that IS what the entire battle's about; a
food that grows out of a magical tree which threatens to eat up all of Earth's energy.
Goku: (chirps) That it does. (grins) But I save the day at the end AND de-feat the evil me!
Vegeta: (sighs) Kakarrotto, Turles isn't an "evil you", he's a rebellious "evil" type-3 saiyajin who's decided to try and
take over the universe through the use of magical fruit with a bunch of random minions he's recruited.
Goku: OH!
Vegeta: (to Chu) DOES Kakarrotto kill him off in this parody?
Chuquita: Well, I can't exactly say...
Vegeta: You don't want to kill him off, do you.
Chuquita: Not really. Besides! How often do you run into an evil type-3 saiyajin anyway!? You've seen the villages; you
know what they're like.
Vegeta: (shifts uneasily) That I do...
Goku: (grins)
Chuquita: It's not like I'm gonna keep him here once its over; I'll just have him sent back into space to do what he did
before; sans minions and evil-fruit-related plan.
Vegeta: And that would be?
Chuquita: (holds up movie 3 script) "Eat great food!" and "Get drunk on great liquor!"
Vegeta: He drinks?
Chuquita: According to the script he does. The sub movie had him say "fine wine" though, but it's almost the same.
Vegeta: I try to keep Kakarrotto away from alcoholic beverages; both for reason of prior experiances and Onna's own warnings
about the way Kakarrotto acts "under the influence".
Goku: (wags tail happily) Heehee.
Vegeta: So, we have an evil fruit-seeking type-3 saiyajin who enjoys 'great food and liquor' coming to attack us and suck
the planet dry into a desert.
Chuquita: Yup!
Goku: AND there's camping! And Hiyah returns! :)
Vegeta: "Hiyah"?
Goku: The big, small-winged purple dragon who became friends with Gohan when he was a chibi. Chi-chan didn't like him much
cuz he slept on our furniture and ate it after he woke up.
Vegeta: (snickers) Really.....I would like to meet this creature, and reintroduce him to Onna. (rubs hands together
menacingly)
Goku: (worried) I do not think that is a very good idea, little Veggie. Hiyah's big 'n smelly and he caws REALLY loud!
Chuquita: (looks at clip of the dragon in sub) He definately has an attention-getting voice...
Vegeta: Turles sounds almost-exactly like Kakarrotto.
Chuquita: So does Bardock, Gohan, and Goten. All 5 of 'um are all voiced by the same lady ya know. °nods°
Goku: (cheerfully) That would be Ms Masako Nozawa!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) The VA of type-3 saiyajin everywhere...
Chuquita: She now voices some girl on One Piece, I think. (confused) (perks up) Anyway, here's the fic! :)

" °FWOOSH°! " a small pod was let loose out of a ship deep in space. The pod hurtled down towards the planet below
and made its crash-landing in a small part of the forest on Mount Paozu. A forest just several miles away from a familiar
campsite...

" Ohhh, where IS he! I thought he was supposed to be here almost an hour ago! " Chibi Trunks flopped onto his back.
" Be patient, Trunks. He'll get here. " Bulma offered.
" He better. It's BORING going camping without Goten around. " Trunks pouted stubbornly.
" You do have siblings of your own you know. "
" Yeah, but Mirai's too old and Bura's creepy. " Trunks nodded.
" Very creepy indeed! " a voice chirped from behind him.
" That she is! "
Trunks looked over his shoulder to see Vejitto and Gogeta roasting smores over a small fire, " And what are THEY
doing here? " he sweatdropped.
" They wanted to come. Besides its near-impossible to not tell them about it. " Bulma laughed nervously.
" Chesnuts roasting on an open fire, Bulma-san! " Gogeta grinned.
" Actually I think we could use a bigger fire. We brought that big pot. " Kuririn said.
" Why's Kuririn here? " Trunks asked.
" Because your Toussan decided to skip out on our camping trip in favor of "Kaka-related activities". " Bulma
explained.
" Ahh! " Oolong opened a bag of chips.
" And why is Oolong here? "
" Your sister didn't want to go camping at the last minute and since Oolong lives in the Kame House with Kuririn's
family and Roshi, and since he heard we hand an opening for an extra camper... " she trailed off.
" Oh. " Trunks nodded again, then looked around, " Man Goten, where ARE you? "
" Here I am!! "
Trunks sat up and grinned, " GOTE---eh. " he stared blankly at the gigantic backpack on Goten's back, " What's IN
that thing? "
" No wonder he took so long, it looks like it weighs a ton! " Bulma exclaimed.
" Half a ton actually! " Goten smiled, " Kaasan weighed it before I left! "
" It's just a one-night camping trip, how much could you possibly need? " Oolong gawked at the sheer size of it,
" What in the world was your Kaasan thinking?! "
" Ah, that big backpack brings me back, remember when we were preparing to got to Namek and Chi-Chi made Gohan bring
all this stuff with him! She even gave him that goofy haircut and made him wear a suit. " Kuririn chuckled at the memory.
" Haha, yeah. Even Son-kun thought it was funny. " Bulma said.
" At least this kid's not wearing a suit, or that safari outfit Gohan wore when she sent him camping with us. "
Oolong poked Goten's gi, " He still on his honeymoon by the way? "
" Yup! Niichan comes back home in 2 weeks—! " Goten held up 2 fingers, " I think he's gonna live with my new big
sister now though cuz Kaasan's changing his bedroom into a guest room slash study. "
" That would be fitting that Gohan's old room end up as a study. " Kuririn snickered, " That's what she had him do
in there most of the time. Poor guy. "
" Now let's see! " Goten said happily as he opened his backpack, " 3 canteens of water, a first aid kit, sleeping
bag, combination flashlight/radio, pajamas, slippers, snacks, snacks, snacks, a fish, " he tossed the large mackeral over
his shoulders and it landed at Trunks's feet. The chibi sweatdropped and poked the fish, " canned food, can-opener,
bug-repellent, alarm clock, 2nd alarm clock, spare gi, sweatshirt, jacket, AND nifty old safari hat! " he whipped out Gohan's
old camping hat and plopped it on his head.
Bulma laughed nervously, " At least Chi-Chi went practical packing for you, remember the stuff she used to equip
Gohan with on these sort of things? "
Kuririn thought back, " You mean the language workbook...math book, recipe book, book on the...philosophy of society,
sleep learning set and scarf? "
" Wow, good memory. " Bulma said, impressed.
Kuririn laughed, " Haha, thanks. "
Trunks cocked an eyebrow at Goten's 'safari hat', " That looks weird on you. "
" Well, I like it! " Goten grinned, adjusting the hat.
" So do I! "
" Me too! "
The others turned to see Vejitto and Gogeta wearing big oversized foam hats.
" :) " the fusions smiled.
" It's like having Goten's toussan here, twice. " Trunks mentioned.
" Silly Trunks! We're like both Toussan AND Mommy! " Vejitto spoke up, patting him on the head.
" Here! Have a token of our condolonce! " Gogeta plopped his own hat onto Trunks's head.
" Thanks. " Trunks said flatly.
" Anytime! " Gogeta happily saluted the chibi.
" FIRE!!! "
" What? " Vejitto blinked, then looked over at a horrified Kuririn. He glanced up at the direction the the formerly
bald monk was staring. There was a gigantic, sudden fire exploding towards them from the distance.
" WE'VE GOT TO RUN UPWIND! " Bulma shouted, gathering their things.
" WHICH WAY IS UPWIND?! " Oolong started to panic.
" That way! " Bulma pointed him in the direction, then sweatdropped as she watched the pig scurry off into the
distance, " Oh second thought, maybe it would've been better NOT to tell him so he'd be forced to stay and help us put out
the fire. "
" It's too late now. " Kuririn sighed, " Goten, Trunks, help me put out the fire. We'll use our kiai to blow it away.
Vejitto, Gogeta can you guys take care of the left side of the fire? " he asked.
" Sure! "
" Oh-kay! "
" Great! Come on! " Kuririn ran off, followed by Goten and Trunks.
" He is certainly in a courageous mood. " Gogeta blinked, surprised.
" Well, after Cell and Buu, Kuririn hasn't really gotten a chance to take charge lately. " Bulma explained, " WAIT!
Why am I still here talking to you guys! There's a FIRE! " she quickly capsulized the camp site.
" Even the campfire? " Vejitto sweatdropped at it.
" I'm going back to the van, I'll meet you! " Bulma told the fusions, then ran off.
Vejitto and Gogeta stood there, staring at the fire.
" You know Goggie, it is times like these when I'm glad we our Fusion-Mobile comes equipped with fire-safety
prevention hardware. " Vejitto flung open the back-door to the Fusion-Mobile beside them and whipped out a 300 foot tall
fire-extinguisher out of the back through a door which couldn't have possibly fit the object. Gogeta whipped out a second one
and they both aimed it at their end of the forest.
" Me too, Jitto! " Gogeta said. They leaned their arms down on the fire-extinguishers and pressed hard, causing
both of them to spray out and instantly stop half the fire while Kuririn, Goten, and Trunks finished off the right side of
the forest.
" HA! HA! " Goten threw out two more kiais.
" RRAAAARRA! " a loud, familiar caw came out from behind him.
" What was that? " Trunks called over to him.
" I know who that is! " Goten lit up, then looked over, reaffirming his thought, " It's Hiyah! "
Trunks stared at the purple dragon trapped between a tree and the ground. He went over to Goten and helped free the
creature, " Hiyah? "
" Raa! " the dragon licked the side of Trunks's face.
" ...eww. " Trunks said flatly.
" Haha! Hiyah's our PET!...sorta. " Goten started to explain, leading it out of the forest, " He used to be niichan's
pet but Kaasan doesn't like him cuz he eats our furniture so he didn't come by that much anymore. I haven't seen him in over
a year when he broke into our house 2 Christmases ago while we were at yours. "
" RAA! " Hiyah said happily and licked the side of Goten's face as well.
" Hahaha! " the chibi laughed.
Trunks glanced at the right side of the forest and smirked; they had successfully put out the fire.
" The bad part is most of the forest itself was destroyed before you even finished. " Bulma sighed, appearing back
beside the others.
" But, Bulma, where does that leave all the animals who lived in the forest? " Goten asked. Bulma looked over and
gawked to see the little chibi had rounded up nearly the entire forest-full of wildlife.
" I KNOW! " Trunks pumped his fist in the air triumpantly, " We'll just WISH the forest back to life with the
dragonballs! "
" ... " the others were silent.
" What? " Trunks stared at them, blinking.
" Trunks, my Toussan just used the dragonballs 2 days ago. They won't be active again for another 4 months. " Goten
pouted.
" ...oh. " the other chibi sighed.
" We could try and see if Dende could heal the forest. " Vejitto spoke up, he grinned, " Afterall he's been the
guardian for quite a while now and I'm sure he can heal more than just people. "
" And me and Jitto would be able to teleport him here easily! " Gogeta happily added.
" Yeah! Great idea you guys! " Oolong said.
The rest of the group sweatdropped.
" NOW you come back. " Bulma grumbled and folded her arms.
Oolong laughed nervously, " Hey, I was helping, I was just...saving some of the local woodland creatures, ya know,
like myself. "
" Uh-huh. " Bulma said flatly, then perked up, " Now let's go get Dende! "

And so, a musical montage of the gang finding Dende occured:
" Brightness penetrating the clouds Fly away (Fly away) " Vejitto and Gogeta teleported the small group to the
lookout.
" Inside my body a wide panorama opens up " the fusions, Bulma, Kuririn, Oolong, the chibis, and Hiyah looked
throughout the lookout for Dende.
" The Earth's been punched in the face and has gotten angry (angry) " Gogeta opened one of the large pots in the
pottery room and looked inside it for Dende. He felt a tap on his shoulder and glanced up.
" It's going to blow up a volcano " Mr. Popo shook his head at Gogeta, then led him and Vejitto out of the room.
" If I find a dinosaur in some melting ice, I want to train it ride a ball. " Dende sleepily stared at himself in
the mirror as he brushed his teeth.
" Cha-la Head-Cha-La " the door to the bathroom burst open, causing the young namekian to almost swallow his
toothbrush.
" I don't care, no matter what happens " Vejitto and Gogeta stood on either side of Mr. Popo; Son-Grins on their
faces.
" Cha-La Head Cha-La " Dende stared at them incrediously.
" My chest is full of excitement " each fusion grabbed Dende by each of his arms and dragged him out of the room;
the toothbrush still hanging out the side of the guardian's mouth. Mr. Popo waved goodbye.
" I'm a ball of energy out of control " Vejitto raced eagerly ahead down the hall while Gogeta followed him
holding Dende by one arm; the young namekian flailing behind him.
" Cha-La Head-Cha-La " they ran past Piccolo. Dende screaming "Help me!!". Piccolo just snickered and went back
in his room.
" It's easier for new dreams to enter an empty head " the fusions made it back outside where the others were
still looking.
" Cha-La Head-Cha-La " they cheered Vejitto and Gogeta on.
" By a smile's Ultra Z " the fusions grouped back together with the others so everyone was touching.
" Today's going to be great too ai yai yai yai yai " Vejitto put his fingers on his forehead and prepared to
teleport.
" Sparking! " and with that, they teleported out of sight.

" ... " once again, they stood before the burnt forest.
Dende shook his head, regaining his whereabouts. He instantly whipped in the direction of the fusions, " WHAT THE
HECK WAS THAT FOR!? YOU JUST KIDNAPPED ME OUT OF MY OWN BATHROOM!? "
" You're welcome! " Vejitto said cheerfully.
" ...what do you MEA--I'm WELCOME?! Why would I possibly THANK you for what you just did? "
" We dunno. " Gogeta smiled and shrugged, " Because it was fun? "
" You know I never really noticed how completely random our theme-song is. " Bulma thought outloud, folding her
arms.
" Just like us! " Vejitto grinned.
" Bulma, " Dende turned to her, already frazzled, " You're the super-genius-- "
" --yes I am. " she said proudly, enjoying the compliment.
" --why am I here? " Dende groaned, " And couldn't you have just called me instead of having Son Goku's sons kidnap
me. "
" We didn't know it would turn out that way when I agreed to their plan. " Bulma sweatdropped, " Anyway, there was a
large fire that ran throughout this forest. We need you to heal the forest so the animals who lived there can return to their
home. "
Dende smiled, " Sure. Healing plant-life is easy. It's much more basic than healing a person. " he started to slowly
fly upward, " I'm going to need a lot of space though. "
Bulma motioned the others to back away from the forest. Dende flew up several feet above the burnt woodland, then
stuck both his hands downward in the direction and let out a namekian chant. Suddenly a blast of green light exploded from
around Dende's hands and engulfed the entire burnt forest. The burn marks left, the plants started coming back to life, the
trees started re-budding their leaves. Almost a minute later the entire forest was back to normal.
Dende looked proudly on his work, then flew back down to the others, " There you go! Good as new! "
" WOW DENDE!? " Kuririn gawked, " I mean, I knew you could heal things but...WOW. "
Dende laughed, embarassed, " Well I've been doing a lot of practice lately. " he looked around, " Geez, I think I
lost my toothbrush somewhere... " he frowned, " Oh well. " the short namekian turned back to Kuririn, Bulma, and Oolong,
" I'm glad I could help you and the animals. I'll be heading back home now. " he hovered upward.
" Thank you Dende! " Bulma called out after him.
" We could teleport you if you'd like! " Gogeta added.
" NO! No teleporting. I'm fine just flying home, really its not that far. " Dende waved his hands back and forth in
a panic, then blasted off.
" See that, Hiyah! Dende saved your home! " Goten smiled at the purple dragon.
" RAAAH!! " Hiyah screeched, then licked Goten's face again.
" Haha, he's all drooly. " the chibi laughed, " Stop that it tickles! "
Trunks just rolled his eyes.

Meanwhile, deep in Outer Space....
" Turles-sama, according to the probe there are life signs on earth. " a large alien approached another who was
smaller only by a few inches. The 2nd alien had on dark blue saiyajin armor in Raditsu's style, a pink scouter, and a huge
white cape with a floofy part around the neck and a cape length long enough to put Piccolo's cape to shame.
" Impossible, the Earth's the planet that Kakarotto was sent to destroy. " Turles said in a voice that, with the
exception of the evil tone he was using, sounded eeriely familiar. His fuzzy tail unwrapped from around his waist and flicked
about throught the air.
" K--Kakarrotto? " another minion asked.
" Yes, back on my homeplanet, when I was in my early teens, he was just a toddler. A toddler who became semi-famous
around the globe for his unbelievably loud crying. Of course he's probably an adult by now. " Turles explained, " I've heard
rumors throughout the West Galaxy that he was the one who defeated Freeza. Apparently he defeated that Brolli as well. "
" Brolli? Isn't he that guy your King tried attempted to murder at one time? "
" Correct, minion. " Turles smirked.
" Isn't he also looking for Kaka--rrotto? " a third minion spoke up.
" Yes. "
" Shouldn't we try to find and contact him then? "
" NO. " Turles snorted, " Brolli's not my concern. " he smirked, " Besides, I don't think its wise for me to
associate with him for, obvious reasons. " he glanced at himself in the mirror. The large saiyajin turned back to the rounded
window that revealed Earth and smiled musingly, " It's such a beautiful planet, just look at it! "
" Rejoice, Turles-sama! It's like the Earth's been prepared for the Tree of Might! " one of the taller minions patted
Turles on the shoulder.
Turles started to chuckle, then burst into an all-out evil laugh, " Heh-heh-heh-heh..hahahahaBWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-
HAHAHAHAheeheehee---ah, " he caught the giggle in time and coughed if off, then went back to his evil laugh, " °COUGH°COUGH°, HAHAHAHAHA! "

" So Goku-san? How's the bath? " Chi-Chi asked. Goku and Goten sat in the semi-newer, larger tub they had bought
after the 26th Tenkaichi Budoukai over 2 years ago.
" It's nice but a lil cold. " Goku happily nodded.
Chi-Chi sniffed the water. Her nose cringed, " Oh man, something stinks in there? " she wafted the smell away.
" Silly Chi-chan, that's why we're in here! To clean off! " Goku laughed.
" TICKLE FIGHT! " Goten lept out of the air and tackled Goku, knocking him underwater along with Goten himself. Goku
tickled the chibi's arms and stomach, Goten tickling Goku's left arm.
Chi-Chi sweatdropped. She noticed something dark and blob-ish moving under the water, " That can't be healthy. " she
grimaced, " Goku-san! " Chi-Chi dunked her arm into the water, trying to grab him only to end up accidentally tickling Goten
instead. Goku mentally giggled at Chi-Chi's arm and watched as Goten quickly resurfaced. The chibi took a huge deep breath.
" °GASP°!! " he gasped for air, then let out a sigh of relief. Goku poked his head above-water seconds later,
" Kaasan that was cheating you didn't tell me you were playing too! " Goten pouted.
" Sorry sweetie. Actually I was trying to tell your Toussan--there's something...not-human, in the water. " she
motioned to the blob moving around at the bottom of the deep bathtub.
Goku stared at it for a moment, then looked back at Chi-Chi, " But I'm not human. "
Chi-Chi twitched, " You know what I mean! "
" Hmm.. " Goku looked back at the blob, then let out a small gasp as it surfaced, then climbed out of the tub in the
form of a scubadiver in a black wet-suit; an oxygen tank on its back.
" What the--?! " Chi-Chi gawked.
" That was random. " Goku glanced over at her.
The scuba-diver ripped off the top of the wet-suit that covered the head, along with the thick goggles, " GREETINGS,
Kakarrotto, Onna and spawn! "
" VEGGIE! " Goku exclaimed, delighted and ready to leap out of the tub and lundge at the smaller saiyajin.
" NO HUGGING! " Vegeta yelped, holding his hands out, " CLOTHES FIRST!!! "
" ... " Goku stood there in the tub, suddenly fully clothed and wearing his orange and blue gi.
" ?! " Vegeta stared at him, bug-eyed, " How DO you do it... " he muttered in disbelief.
" WHEE! " a squeal came out from behind Vegeta and Goku glomped him from that direction, still soggy, " HI Veggie!
We're all so happy to see you! "
" I'm not. " Chi-Chi said flatly while Goten continued to doggie-paddle around in the large tub, making a whirlpool,
" And just WHAT are you DOING in our BATHTUB with GOKU in it CLEANING himself! " she snapped.
" Hey, no need to worry Onna, the goggles are dark and thick enough to keep me from seeing anything I'd rather not
look at, and I could easily sense Kakarrotto's ki so I could move around to avoid both him and the little Kaka-spawn. "
Vegeta explained.
" That does not really explain why Veggie would go scuba-diving in my bathtub. " Goku said, confused as he continued
to hold on to the smaller saiyajin.
" I felt like making a flashy entrance, is that so wrong? " Vegeta said in a mock-innocent tone of voice.
" If its in our bathtub IT IS! " Chi-Chi glared at him. Vegeta smirked back at her.
" RAAAAH! " a voice came cawwing from behind the trio. Chi-Chi looked over her shoulder and let out a shriek, then
nearly fell into the tub backwards.
" AHH! ITS YOU!! "
" Who is that? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow at the purple dragon with unrealistically-small-wings.
" Hiyah! We have not seen you in almost 2 years! How ARE you! " Goku shook hands with the creature.
" RAAArRAARRAHH! "
Goku looked back at Chi-Chi and Vegeta and smiled, " Hiyah says he met up with Goten after Goten and the other
campers saved the forest he lives in! Then, feeling nostalgic for the days when Gohan was a chibi and his close friend,
secretly followed Goten back here. "
" You got all that from "RAAArRAARRAHH!". " Chi-Chi said skeptically.
" I don't even question the way Kakarrotto operates anymore. " Vegeta sweatdropped, then smirked and patted Goku on
the arm, " Hai, Kakay? "
" MMMM! " Goku grabbed and squeezed the wet little ouji tightly against him, " Veggie's my favorite! "
Vegeta's face started to turn bright red, " ...help? " he squeaked out.
" Shouldn't have touched him. " Chi-Chi snickered at Vegeta.
Goku started to rub the Ouji's back, causing him to feel like he was turning into mushy goo inside his wet-suit. "
" It's always nice to see Goku-san in control. " Chi-Chi nodded, then noticed Hiyah watching her and wagging his tail
. She backed away from him and went back over to Goten, " So! Goten....you re-met Hiyah while camping yesterday? "
" Mmm-hmm! He's me and Trunks's new friend! See how he found my house? Trunks and I are gonna teach him how to
'fetch, and rollover, and not to lick Trunks's face'! At least that's sorta what Trunks said! " Goten chirped, " Isn't he
cute? "
Chi-Chi turned to face Hiyah.
" °URRRP°! " the creature burped in her face.
Chi-Chi peeled a piece of apple-skin off her head, " Charming. " she said sarcastically. She looked back at Goten,
" I really don't think we can keep Hiyah here, Goten. He's a wild animal, he belongs in the wild with his own kind. " she
tried to explain.
" Does that mean I'm free to take Kakay back with me to what remains of Bejito-sei? " Vegeta smirked connivingly.
" NO! " Chi-Chi snapped at him, " That's COMPLETELY different and you know it! "
" Just a simple question. " Vegeta chuckled. Goku had stopped hugging and was now standing beside him.
" Kaasan? " Goten asked.
" Yes Goten. "
" Do you just not want me to keep Hiyah cuz you're afraid he'll eat our house? " Goten sniffled.
" Well...not the WHOLE house...more like what's INSIDE the house. " Chi-Chi laughed nervously.
Goten pouted.
" Come on Goten, Hiyah's been to our house before, you know what its like when he stays. He eats our things and
smells up the whole house and I can barely pick him up to drag him outside! " Chi-Chi tried to calmly explain to him, " We
have to let him go. You understand, right? "
" ....hai Kaasan. "

" 103..104..105... "
" ... " Chi-Chi sat at the kitchen table, trying not to explode. Goten was slurping his soup, Hiyah was sitting in
Gohan's seat--slurping his soup, Vegeta was sitting at Goku's seat--neatly shoveling down his soup, and Goku was doing
one-finger pushups on the kitchen floor beside them, " HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?! " she screamed up at the ceiling.
" Well, first you take some chicken-broth and vegetables--chop them up into small, human-bite-sized pieces-- " Vegeta
cooly started.
" YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!! " she shouted at him.
" Ooh, snappy. " the ouji snickered.
" HOW did that THING get into our house and WHY are you still here--and in that, tight, THING! "
" Wetsuit. " Vegeta corrected her.
" YES! THAT! Don't you have a change of clothes! "
" He ate them. " Vegeta lamely pointed to Hiyah.
" RAAAAA—!! °slurp° " Hiyah cawwed for a second, then went back to his soup.
" Though I AM feeling rather bold today. I could go commando... " Vegeta smirked, reaching for the wetsuit's zipper.
" Don't. Even. Try it. " Chi-Chi gritted her teeth at him.
" Hear that Kakay? Onna's forcing me to stay in my wetsuit--I'll catch a terrible cold--possibly the fatal
pneumonia. " Vegeta gasped in mock-sadness.
" NO VEGGIE! DON'T DIE! " Goku panicked, " ...117..118..Chi-chan can't you let Veggie change outfits please? " he
begged her.
" Ugh...fine. But he can't have any of YOUR clothes. That would be sick and perverted. " Chi-Chi folded her arms
stubbornly, then watched Vegeta leave the room. She yelped at the wetsuit in a pile on the floor, " Oh my GOD he's walking
through this house NAKED!? "
" Not anymore. "
Chi-Chi turned around to see the ouji wearing one of her usual outfits, " WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? "
" You said not to take Kakarrotto's clothes; and Gohan took all of his with him on the honeymoon; and the chibi
Kaka-spawn isn't nearly as big as me...yet. "
" Gimmie time! " Goten chirped.
" Yes I'm sure you too shall surpass me in height someday. " Vegeta said with some disdain, then grinned, " But Onna
and I are nearly the same size--she's possibly only 2 or 3 inches above me--but still your stuff fits me almost perfectly
Onna! "
Chi-Chi muttered something under her breath.
" Lookin snazzy, little Veggie! " Goku gave Vegeta a thumbs-up, " 122...123... "
" Why THANK YOU. " Vegeta boasted.
" SO! Can I keep Hiyah Dragon? " Goten chimed in.
Chi-Chi took a deep breath, trying to stay calm, " NO! Take him back to the mountains I can't STAND him! "
" RAAAAAH! " Hiyah let out a cry of sadness.
" That's right. I don't like you. " Chi-Chi folded her arms.
Hiyah's bottom lip wobbled, then he took a bite out of the table and chewed it for comfort, staring straight ahead.
Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" Aw, you hurt his feelings. " Vegeta teased her.
" Yeah Chi-chan, can't Hiyah at least stay in Gohan's old room for a while? " Goku asked, stopping his pushups and
plopping himself on the floor.
" NO! "
" ....can't VEGGIE at least stay in Gohan's old room for a while? " Goku asked again.
Chi-Chi looked over at Vegeta; who was still wearing her clothes and grinning wickedly at her, " NO! ESPECIALLY
NO! You stay out of this Goku-san! " she pointed at him.
Goku looked down and twiddled this thumbs, " Yes, Chi-chan. "
" °glare° "
Chi-Chi blinked, she looked over to see Vegeta glaring at her, " What's your problem? "
Vegeta sat himself down behind Goku hand put his arms on the larger saiyajin's shoulders, " Kakarrotto's not a child
you know, you shouldn't try to shun him from the conversation. " he smirked at Goku, " Isn't that right, Kakay. " Vegeta
gave a small squeeze. The larger saiyajin's eyes lit up. He grinned, grabbed Vegeta by the waist and flung him up over the
top of his head and onto his lap, then held on tightly.
" Mmmm—— "
" °MMPHmmMPMPH°!? " Vegeta let out muffled helps as he wildly tried to escape the protective hold.
" Hahahaha, you asked for it. " Chi-Chi laughed at the ouji's plight, then turned to Goten, " Now take him back to
the mountains! Our house is no place for that creature. "
" Veggie-san? " Goten blinked, confused.
" NO I---well, yes, him too, but right now let's concentrate on getting Hiyah to leave. "
" But-- "
" °URP°! " Hiyah burped again, this time coughing up part of the kitchen table with it.
" ... " Chi-Chi and Goten stared at him.
" Take him back, NOW! "

Goten and Hiyah stood facing each other at the edge of Goten's backyard.
" I guess this is goodbye. "
" ... "
" ... "
" CAW! " Hiyah said.
" ... "
" Wow, he is a true child of Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said as he leaned the side of his head on his arms, staring out
the open window along with Goku and Chi-Chi.
" What does that mean? " Goku blinked at the little ouji.
" It means if he were Gohan--who in mind favors Onna's genetic structure--he probably would have tried to trick that
animal into leaving by now. Instead he's just standing there hoping it'll understand and just part ways with him. " Vegeta
explained.
" Well that's nice. I don't like to trick people. " Goku smiled.
" Maybe we could make it go fetch a slice of meat. " Chi-Chi suggested, then paused, " Goku-san, Hiyah eats meat,
right? "
" He ate the soup, and that had chicken in it. " Vegeta said.
" I'll go cut up some beef. " Chi-Chi headed back to the kitchen, " Hiyah's sneaky but he's usually pretty easy to
trick. "
Goku watched Chi-Chi leave. He looked out at Goten giving Hiyah a goodbye hug, then looked down at Vegeta. Goku let
out a gasp, " I've got an idea! "
" ? " Vegeta bounced back a couple steps from him. Goku hopped out the window and zipped over behind a tree, then
made a motion for Goten to follow him, which the chibi and the dragon did. Vegeta shrugged and ran off after them.
" Now, who wants a nice big juicey slab of beef! " Chi-Chi said teasingly as she left the house with the beef
placed in a small cannon. She blinked to see Hiyah and Goten no longer there, " Huh. "

" Well Goten, what do you think? " Goku asked excitedly.
" I think, it's a cave! " Goten replied, cheerful.
" Yes it is! " Goku smiled.
Vegeta sweatdropped.
" But not just ANY cave, it's a cave JUST for HIYAH! Look, here's a spot with a blanket, and here's a bowl we can
fill up with meat and chunks of old furniture, and it's so big and the entrance is wide and you can see this spot from the
roof of our house! " Goku went on, explaining the good things about the cave.
" COOL! Hiyah gets his own apartment! " Goten gushed, " Wait'll I tell Trunks! " he bounced up and down, then gave
Goku's leg a quick glomp, " Thank you Toussan!! "
" Heehee, but don't tell your Kaasan! " Goku grinned down at him.
" I promise I won't! " Goten nodded, determined.
Goku looked over at the little ouji beside him, " What do you think, Veggie? Huh? "
The smaller saiyajin had a proud smile on his face, beaming.
" VeggieVeggie? " Goku tilted his head.
" You really do impress me when you rebel against Onna like that, Kakarrotto. "
Goku sweatdropped, " Veggie it's not really supposed to be a good thing to do bad things behind Chi-chan's back. I
just felt bad for Goten having to have Hiyah leave the way I feel bad when Veggie has to leave-- "
" --so you felt guilty by association. " Vegeta finished.
" Haha, a little. " Goku said, then turned to Hiyah and grabbed the creature by its head, " Anyways I hope you enjoy
your new home, Hiyah! "
" RAAAH!! " Hiyah roared happily, then licked the side of the larger saiyajin's face.
" Hahaha! Hey Veggie I think he likes me. "
" Better not have him like you 'too' much, we wouldn't want him to think saiyajin are good to eat, now would we? "
Vegeta lightly taunted.
" Oop! " Goku pulled away from Hiyah, who licked his chops, " Ah...no Veggie, I do not think we would. "

" So! How does it feel, Puar? " Yamcha grinned as they flew through the air in his brand-new personal skyplane.
" It feels great! " the little blue cat squeaked out, flying around the inside of the vehicle.
" It better, I bought it with a 15 year loan. I spotted it while I was getting that gift for Gohan and Videl with
Kuririn and Juuhachigou a few days ago. It's a top-of-the-line model! "
Puar zoned out after the first sentence, shocked, " I can't believe they actually trusted you that much. "
Yamcha sweatdropped, " Well I've been to the Tenkaichi Budoukai a lot, that makes me kinda famous. " he said, then
smirked, " Everyone'll be so surprised to see me driving THIS. " he proudly patted the steering wheel.
" That's right! " Puar said happily.
" !!! " Yamcha suddenly froze up, along with Puar, " Did...you feel that? "
" Such a large ki. " Puar murmured, then let out a cry as something blasted the back of Yamcha's plane, " AHHH! "
" WHAT WAS THAT?! " Yamcha yelped as he held the steering-wheel tightly, trying to land the plane only to have it
start spiraling out of control.
" I don't know!! "
" PUAR HOLD ON! "

Piccolo stood outside on the lookout, " I've felt an unlucky ki for a while... "
Dende walked up to him and smacked him across the arm, then stomped off, annoyed.
Piccolo chuckled, " Someone's still a little "ticked" from this morning, I see. "
" You didn't even try to STOP them! You just stood there and LAUGHED at me!!! " Dende shouted from across the way.
" ... " Piccolo shrugged, " It was amusing. "
" ARG!! "

" °chuck°! " Turles's 5 minions stood before a large hole in the ground. One of them had just chucked a small seed
into the hole while the others watched.
" Grow up big and strong. " one minion patted the ground.
" Hurry up and grow your fruit. " a second one said, " So Turles-sama can consume it and with its nutritional value
take over the universe! "
" ...why are we talking to the seed again? " the first minion asked.
" Turles-sama says that talking nicely to your plants causes them to grow at a faster rate. "
" Ah. " he said, enlighened.

A light, musical sound played in the background as Goten and Trunks played with their semi-new friend, Hiyah.
Goten tossed a frisbee into the air. Hiyah ran and jumped up to catch it only to pummel through a tree, knocking it
over. Hiyah sat up and wagged his tail, unhurt.
dl
/dl
Trunks raced Hiyah up and down a hill.
dl
/dl
Goten lifted Hiyah up and tried to plop the large purple dragon onto Kinto'un, who, upon seeing the size of the
creature about to be dropped on him, quickly sped off, causing Hiyah to hit the grass instead. The dragon pouted.
dl
/dl
Goten, Trunks, and Hiyah sat in a semi-circle, playing cards.
" Got any 8's? " Goten asked Hiyah.
" RAAAH! "
" Haha! Go fish! " Trunks laughed at Goten.
dl
/dl
Goten and Trunks finished strapping the safety-pads on Hiyah's arms and legs. Goten plunked the helmet on, then
walked back to Trunks to inspect their work. Hiyah was now properly equipped to go skateboarding. Trunks grinned and whipped
out the skateboard, then lifted Hiyah up and placed him on it.
" ? " Hiyah looked down at the board, then took a step only to cause the skateboard to send him flying down the hill
at a rapid speed. Hiyah tripped over a rock and landed head-first into the Mount Paozu river. Hiyah's left foot twitched.
The boys sweatdropped.
dl
/dl
Goten, Trunks, and Hiyah sat at the river with their feet under-water.
Goten looked over at Hiyah and grinned, then dunked his head under and pulled out a fish with his mouth.
Trunks smirked and followed suit.
Hiyah dunked his head under and yanked it up to reveal he now had a confused Goku sideways in his mouth. The dragon
wagged his tail. Trunks shook his head and sighed. Goten nervously applauded Hiyah.
dl
/dl
Goten dunked the bubble-wand into the container, then pulled it out. He took a deep breath and blew a cascade of
bubbles. Hiyah oohed at the sight. Goten held it out for Trunks, who sweatdropped and shook his hands no. Goten shrugged and
dunked the bubble-wand into the container a second time, then held it up to Hiyah.
Hiyah took his own deep breath, then let out a blast of flames, setting his bubble on fire as it floated up into the
sky.
The chibis stared at the firey bubble with unease as it headed upwards and across the way to where Chi-Chi was
putting out the laundry on the clothesline. The bubble hovered dangerously close to the clothesline directly behind her and
the boys nervously backed up into the forest. Trunks grabbed Hiyah and yanked him back as well just as the bubble landed on
the clothesline and let out a blast of heat. Chi-Chi's eyes widened three times over and she whipped around, letting out a
scream that shook half the mountain.
" °WHEW°! " Trunks wiped the sweat off his brow, then shook his finger at Hiyah, who only tilted his head and licked
Trunks's face. Trunks twitched with disgust and Goten just laughed.
dl
/dl
dl
/dl
" GOTEN! IT'S DINNERTIME! " Goku called out happily across the lawn.
" OH-KAY! " Goten chirped back. Bulma had called Trunks on his cell and the other chibi had left 15 minutes ago.
Goten glanced at Hiyah, " Bye! See ya later! Let's play again tommorow! " he waved to the dragon and dashed off, " BYE! "
" ... " Hiyah blinked, watching Goten run off into the distance.

Turles adjusted his long flowing cape while he stared out the gigantic rounded window that faced Earth, " I can't
believe that the Earth would be this good for growing the Tree of Might! " he said, mostly to himself, " You know if we
weren't planning to suck the planet dry I'd actually think of setting a base down there once I take over the universe. It's
such a GORGEOUS little blue planet. " he sighed happily, then pouted, " It makes me miss Bejito-sei....Raisin! Lakusei! The
blinds! "
" Hai Turles-sama! " the twin aliens dashed over to the window and pulled down the blinds.
Turles whirled around and folded his arms, Veggie-style, " Hm, and this is all thanks to Kakarrotto for leaving this
planet undamaged. I'll have to thank him in the near future. "
dl

dl
/dl
" That's TERRIBLE! " Goku gasped.
Yamcha hung his head sadly as he sat at the Son's kitchen table with Puar, " And I still have to pay off that 15 year
loan! "
Chi-Chi put a cup of coffee down down infront of him.
" Thank you. " Yamcha smiled at her, his nerves shot.
" No problem. Hey did you get any insurance on the plane? They might pay for some of it. " Chi-Chi asked.
" I don't know...I just need to relax. " he sighed, " Sorry I dropped in you guys like this. It was the closest to
where my plane landed, so.. "
" --didn't I just SELL you a car 2 years ago? " Bulma asked, suspicious.
" Haha, well, yeah, but this wan't a car--it was a plane. " Yamcha laughed nervously, " A skyplane; it's like "your
own personal jet for the price of a car". " he quoted the slogan, " You see it all went sort of like this... "
dl

/dl
:::" Juuhachigou had just dragged me off your front lawn the other day when she, Kuririn, and I went to continue
our search for gifts for Gohan and Videl. " Yamcha voiced over the scenes
" We were walking down the street and that's when I spotted it at the car-dealer's; a brand-new,
hot-off-the-assembly-line, bright-red, convertable skyplane! It was sleek, shiny, the most perfect piece of machinery ever
created for vehicle-usage! it was love at first sight! So I talked to the salesman and he gave me a discount if I would pay
over the course of 15 years. Since I don't really have that kind of money, I took out the loan. But as I was flying it
out to show you guys, something exploded in the rear causing Puar and I to go crashing down into the mountain. ":::

" And here I am. " Yamcha finished.
Bulma groaned and shook her head, then smirked at him, " Heh, I bet you only bought that thing to pick up girls. "
" AH--NO! Youhavememistaken! " Yamcha blurted out, nervous.
" You're not even together anymore and he still acts like that when you bring up the subject. " Vegeta popped out
from behind Bulma, snickering.
Bulma looked back at him, " Oh hi Vegeta!...why are you wearing Chi-Chi's clothes? "
" Because she wouldn't let me wear Kakarrotto's. "
" ... "
" I don't think it looks half-bad on me considering its women's clothing. "
" Haha! Yeah like that shirt and the pants and shoes! " Yamcha laughed at the memory.
Vegeta stared at him blankly, " What? "
" SHH! " Bulma shhed Yamcha.
" OH! Nothing. " he said then returned to his coffee.
::What happened?:: a voice said in Bulma's head.
" ACK! " she yelped, then looked back to see Goku standing there grinning anxiously at her, " Do you and Vegeta have
to keep randomly popping mental messages into my head. " Bulma sweatdropped, ::That outfit Vegeta wore the day you came back
"for a day"; it used to be one of my old ones. I sort of...outgre--it shrunk on me in the wash and I liked it so much I
didn't want to get rid of it so instead I just put it in with Vegeta's clothes one day::
" AHHH.. " Goku said, enlightened, " Heeheehee. "
" Chi-Chi thanks for your warm hospitality! " Roshi spoke up.
Chi-Chi looked around the room, Roshi, Yamcha, Puar, Bulma, Tenshinhan, Launch, Chaoutzu, Kuririn, Juuhachigou,
Marron, Raditsu, and the fusions had somehow all managed to gather in her kitchen within the past 10 minutes, " Uh,
yeah...don't, mention it. " she looked confused.
" Ah yes, Onna's just known worldwide for her "warm hospitality", aren't you Onna? " Vegeta mocked her.
" Don't test me, Ouji. " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes, then turned to the others, " As long as you don't get in the way
of Goten's studies you can stay as long as you like. "
" GOTEN'S studies? " Tenshinhan cocked an eyebrow.
" His martial arts studies. You see Goten here is much different than Gohan; psychologically speaking; so Goku-san
and I are training him. " Chi-Chi explained.
" °Cough°chibi Kakarrotto°Cough° " Vegeta coughed, standing next to Bulma. Bulma sweatdropped and looked back at
Goten, who was Son-grinning at them.
" Ah, I see. "
" I'm a great tutor! Let me teach him! " Yamcha spoke up.
" Haha, °bop° " Chi-Chi lightly bopped him on the head with a wooden spoon, " That's what I'm worried about the most!
...well, maybe not the MOST-- " she sent a small glare over in Vegeta's direction. The ouji had slinked over to Goku and
was now leaning on Goku from behind. Vegeta waved sinisterly at her, " --but at least worried to some point of extent. "
" RAAAAAAAAH! " a voice cawwed from the open kitchen window.
" It's Hiyah Dragon! Hiya Hiyah! " Goten cheered.
" GOTEN! What's he still DOING here! " Chi-Chi felt a vein bulge on her forehead as she stuck her arm out behind her,
pointing at the creature. Hiyah reached out with his mouth and bit off the end of Chi-Chi's wooden spoon. She blinked and
held the remainder of the spoon out infront of her, then smacked Hiyah over the head with with; unfortunately not doing
much damage to the creature's thick skull.
" Well... " Goten trailed off innocently.
" Let him keep it. "
Chi-Chi instantly turned her attention to Goku, who's eyes widened in fright at what he'd blurted out. The large
saiyajin pulled his fists up over his mouth, " Goku-san, are you taking Goten's side against me? "
" N--no, it's not that... "
" Don't let Onna talk down to you like that, Kakay. " Vegeta, still semi-hugging the larger saiyajin from behind,
whispered into his ear, " Your opinion is just as important as anyone else's in this room, and I for one respect your
Kaka-thoughts and ideas. "
Goku felt his cheeks turn pink, " ...Veggie. "
" What he saying to you! " Chi-Chi demanded of Goku while sending death-glares at the smirking little ouji.
" Nice things. " Goku nodded, his entire face starting to flush, " Veggie's so nice to me... "
" Hm.. " Chi-Chi watched him for a moment, then looked back at Goten, who turned to Hiyah.
" Uh... " Goten blinked, then hopped off his chair and tried to push Hiyah's head back out the window, " Hiyah!
Kaasan says you're not allowed in here. Go back to your cave. "
" What CAVE? " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow.
Goku looked away and shifted a bit.
" Ah, the cave. You know how bears live in caves...dragons live in caves too. I read it in, one of Gohan's biology
books! " Goten made up, grinning.
" He's got a spark of non-kaka-related intellegence afterall. " Vegeta murmured to himself.
" Oh. Well, the point is we have guests! Now take him back! " Chi-Chi nodded.
" Can I bring him back when we don't have any guests? "
" ...what do you think? "
" Yes? "
Chi-Chi sighed, " Just, take him back to his cave. "
" Oh-kay! " Goten nodded, then hopped out the window and started to drag the unwilling Hiyah off his front lawn,
" Hiyah, it's time for you to go back to your cave. "
" CAAWW! "
" No you can't stay here because Kaasan says so! "
" CAAWW! "
" Because Kaasan's in charge and I'm not. "
" CAAWW! "
" BECAUSE she's my Kaasan and that makes her older and wiser than I am. "
" CAAWW! "
" Because she is! "
" Just push him! " Chi-Chi called from the open window, " Or fly him back there. "
" Hmm. " Goten turned back to Hiyah, then turned to push him only to fall onto his stomach instead. Goten blinked.
He sat up to see Hiyah already flying off into the distance, " Oh. Hey Kaasan I did it! " Goten exclaimed, proud of himself.
Chi-Chi sighed, " He just wants to play. "
" Something doesn't seem right. " Goku said.
Chi-Chi looked over and nearly hit the ground to see Vegeta had taken Goku's seat and now had the larger, and
blushing, saiyajin on his lap, " WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? "
" Consoling Kakay in his time of need. " Vegeta smirked at her, then patted Goku's stomach, " Is that so wrong. "
" Oop! " Goku let out a little squeak, " Veggie makes me feel better, Chi-chan. "
" I'm sure he does. " Chi-Chi said flatly, " NOW GET OFF HIS LAP! YOU DON'T BELONG THERE! "
" Who are you to say where Kakay does and does not belong? " Vegeta taunted her.
" OOOH! " Chi-Chi looked over at where Bulma was, " WELL?! "
" Ah, I sorta feel slightly better when I know Vegeta's in control of these situations; as opposed to Son-kun. "
Bulma laughed nervously.
" See, Bulma has faith in me. " Vegeta said, " And my ability to keep those in my kingdom, content. "
::GOKU!:: a voice shouted from above.
" Huh? " Goku blinked.
" Eh? " Vegeta looked upward.
" Kaio-sama. " he recognized the voice.
::Goku, something terrible's going on!::
" We know THAT! It's going on in this chair over here right now! " Chi-Chi ranted, pointing to Goku and Vegeta.
::That's, not it:: Kaio-sama sweatdropped.
" What do you mean!? " Goku gasped, starting to worry.
::A terrible tree called the Tree of Might has spread its roots all over the Earth::
" An evil TREE? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow, imagining one of the trees on his front lawn hissing at him, then
grabbing and eating a random car passing by.
::Only the kais are allowed to eat the fruit of that tree!! Once a Tree of Might spreads its roots it sucks all the
life out of the soil; it dries up all the plants on the planet and changes the whole globe into a desert. It's said that not
even a blade of grass will grow for hundreds of years!!:: Kaio-sama explained.
" What do you mean!? " Goku gasped again.
" You said that already. " Vegeta sweatdropped.
::I mean that once it spreads its roots it's too late. It takes all of the life from the planet and changes the
planet into a desert!::
The group froze in place.
" B--but what about our Earth? " Goku asked.
Kaio-sama sighed, ::I'm sorry, but it's too late for your planet::
Goku hopped off his seat and onto the ground, " I don't believe you!! It can't be true!! " he exclaimed, worried.
Raditsu groaned, " Man, just when I was starting to LIKE living here too. " he slumped back in one of the kitchen
chairs.

" Only a little longer until it starts to bear fruit. " one of the minions said as they stood watch on the ship.
" After we eat the fruit after the tree's sucked up this much energy, we should get a lot stronger. " the second one
added.
" The Turles Corps will be able to stop worrying about anyone else. " the third laughed.
" Even Brolli will be easy to defeat! " the fourth chimed in.
" And Turles-sama will become the Ruler of the Universe!! " the second pumped his fist in the air.
" And it's all thanks to the fruit of the Tree of Might! " the first said.
" No, " Turles walked up to them, and smirked, " It's all thanks to Kakarrotto! "

" The tree will destroy all plant life? " Bulma gawked.
" And suck up all the water!!? " Yamcha said, taking a quick glance at his cup of coffee.
Goku folded his arms in thought, " I don't know... "
" But is it really too late after that tree sprouts? " Oolong pointed out.
" If we all work together we should be able to destroy that tree! " Goku suddenly piped up.
" Yeah! That's it Kakarrotto, be confident in yourself! " Vegeta cheered him on, then zipped over to Bulma, " By the
way if I'm going to head into battle I could really use a change of clothes-- "
Bulma tossed a capsule into the air, " Way ahead of ya. " she smirked. Another one of Vegeta's training outfits
popped up, along with the white gloves and boots.
" Thank you! " Vegeta told her, then grabbed his clothes and left the room to change. He returned a moment later
wearing his usual blue tank-top and pants. Vegeta adjusted his gloves, " Ah, I feel like me. "
" God knows where he tossed my clothes. " Chi-Chi grimaced.
" Everyone with me? " Goku asked.
" You're right ototochan! " Raditsu said, " I'm with ya! "
" Us to, Toussan! " Vejitto pumped his fist in the air.
" We will help you save Earth to the end, Kaasan! " Gogeta cheered.
Vegeta put a hand on Goku's shoulder, " And I'm certainly with you, Kakarrotto. " he smirked. Chi-Chi glared at the
ouji out of the corner of the room.
" Alright then! " Goku grinned, " Let's go stop that tree!! "
5:28 PM 7/22/2004
END OF PART ONE!
Chuquita: Yup! That that it is!
Goku: Heehee.
Chuquita: I'm very VERY happy with how this one's turning out.
Vegeta: I'm guessing we come face-to-face with the "evil" type-3 saiyajin in part 2.
Chuquita: Yes you do! Part 1 only gives us a lil glimpse of him; but in part 2 we actually get to see him interacting with
you two and the other saiyajins.
Vegeta: (looks up) So you-know-who is also alive and well also?
Goku: (narrows his eyes dangerously) The big meanie...
Chuquita: Well, yeah; but everyone's known for a couple fics that I'm eventually planning on having him come back. BUT it
won't be in this fic! His name was just mentioned in this.
Vegeta: Ah... (pauses) (looks up to see Goku looming as if preparing to protectively glomp) (laughs nervously) You heard what
she said, right? Brolli's NOT in this fic.
Goku: (blinks) Oh. (plops back down in his chair like nothing happened)
Chuquita: (to audiance) For those wondering about Gohan--who was the chibi in the actual movie--he'll be back in the next
fic for the 27th Tenkaichi Budoukai.
Vegeta: He's certainly missed a lot since we last saw him.
Goku: (happily) Well then Veggie and I will just fill Gohan in when he returns!
Chuquita: Also; I think this part was cut out of CN's showing of the movie; that musical montage where Gohan and the others
search for the dragonballs with the theme-song playing is actually in the movie.
Goku: Yup!
Chuquita: See you next week everybody! (waves goodbye)
Goku: Byebye!!
