Quote of the Week: "I wanna walk like you, talk like you, it's true, someone like me, would like to be, like someone like
you." -King Louie; "The Jungle Book"
Chuey's Corner:
Piccolo: (grinning) I'm anticipating this story just from hearing "The Quote of the Week".
Chuquita: You're enjoying being part of our little "crew" for this fic, aren'tcha, Pic?
Piccolo: (snickers) You bet.
Chuquita: [looks up] Oh I missed my marker. *A-hem*. Hi and welcome to the Corner. I'm Chuquita.
Piccolo: (cocks an eyebrow) A little rusty from the break, I see?
Chuquita: NAH! That Tenchi fic only took ONE day. Less than anticipated. (grins) Which is a GOOD thing!
[changes subject] I'd like to introduce my co-host; Veggie--who's not here yet, but is on his way. To my left is Piccolo,
who came here during the last story with a suggestion and still hasn't left yet.
Piccolo: I plan to leave after our ouji friend has theroughly gone out of his mind in his reaction to Son over there. [points
to the figure to Chu's right]
Chuquita: OH YEAH! Anyone who missed the last dbz fic, "Me, Myself and I"; during the last Corner, Piccolo, (w/the help
of Miss Sheba; who isn't here with us) made a suggestion to turn Son-San into a girl for the next Corner. So, here we are in
the next Corner--with "Kayka".
Kayka: That's Kakay in pig latin. (grins)
Piccolo: It doesn't matter what Goku looks like--he's still Goku.
Chuquita: Or SHE in this case.
Kayka: (happily) I LIKE PIE!
Chuquita: Don't we all.
Kayka: Say, Chu-sama, where's little Veggie? He _IS_ coming back, isn't he?
Chuquita: Sure! [loud banging noise coming from the door behind them] (turns to door)
Piccolo: (smirks) There he is now, the lucky guy--(bursts into laughter)
Chuquita: SHHSHHHSSHH! (shushing Piccolo) We can't let him suspect anything! Remember?!
Piccolo: I know, it's just so darn funny--Vegeta meeting "Kayka" here.
Kayka: (big Son grin) (anxious) YAY! VEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIE--ulp! [Chu slaps her hand over Son's mouth]
Vegeta: [re-enters the Corner; sopping wet] ...I'm back.
Kayka: HI LITTLE VEH--ack! [Pic slaps his hand over Son's mouth]
Chuquita: Hello my little ouji-friend....(raises an eyebrow) Why are you all wet like that?
Vegeta: (narrows his eyes at her) Do you know HOW much water is needed to return a saiyajin body back to its normal state
after it's tempertature DRASTICALLY jumps to 200'F?
Chuquita: Hmm, let me guess...
Vegeta: --A _LOT_! THAT'S HOW MUCH! (snarls at her) IF I HAD GLOWED RED ANY BRIGHTER I WOULD LIKELY _EXPLODE_!!!
Chuquita: (intreged) Ooh! Really?
Piccolo: Mental note....[writes something down on a sticky-pad]
Vegeta: Hmmph! [stubbornly marches over to his seat next to Goku and sits down] (while staring at the audiance) And what's
the Namek still doing here! He should be gone by now.
Chuquita: I can't get him to leave until he's seen what he wants to see.
Vegeta: And that would be--
Piccolo: The saiyajin on your right.
Vegeta: (confused) Kakarrot?
Kayka: EEE-HEEHEEHEEHEE! (giggles like a maniac)
Vegeta: (still staring forward) Is it just me, or does Kakarrot's voice sound higher than usual? Well, high for Kakarrot
anyway--and that's pretty high.
Kayka: (excited) VeggieVeggie lookit me!
Piccolo: Yeah Vegeta, go on, take a look.
Vegeta: (suspicous) Something happened to Kakarrotto, didn't it?
Chuquita: Why don't you take a look and find out.
Kayka: Yeah, come on little Veggie. [tugs at the sundress from the last story] I'm VERY pretty. (bursts into giggles again)
Vegeta: "pretty"??? [glances at Son and shrieks] AHHHHH!! (face glows bright red) (breathing quickly) Who--who--who--who--
--WHO IS THIS!! [points at Son] THIS--this female saiyajin with Kakarrot's voic--(goes limp)---no. Tell me it isn't?
Kayka: (bats eyelashes) Yes it IS! (big Son grin) LITTLE BUDDY VEGGIE HUG ME! [grabs Veggie & hugs him] I missed you Veggie!
Vegeta: (shrieking) AHH! AHH! AHH! [pulls out of Son's grip; shaking & breathing even faster] (growls) ERR, KAKARROTTO WHY!!!
Kayka: It was Piccolo's idea. And it's only for one fic, so calm down. (giggles) Ain't I neat! [points at herself]
Vegeta: [w/his arms crossed] (nervously) (to himself) Fighting urges, fighting urges, fighting urges---
Kayka: (leans infront of him) What urges?
Vegeta: (screams at the ceiling) SAIYAJIN URGES!!! [returns to his little chant]
Kayka: (to Chu) Veggie gonna be oh-kay?
Chuquita: (worried) I hope so.
Piccolo: (grins evily) I hope not.
Summary: Bulma does some tests on the boys and Veggie mistakes Goku's dna sample for his. The shocked prince now
thinks he too is a peasant. Vegeta then goes to Son, begging him to teach the ouji how to be a thrid-class saiyajin like
himself. Now the ouji must undergo a series of, to him, humiliating tasks. Will he survive? What happens when he finds out
about the mix-up?
Vegeta: (to Son) Are you SURE you're Kakarrotto?
Kayka: Yup!
Vegeta: Absolutely sure?
Kayka: Yes I am!
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) Ohhhh---[turns to ceiling]--I HATE YOU NAMEK!
Piccolo: Heeheehee!
Chuquita: On with the show!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" YEOWWWWWWWW!!!! " Vegeta screamed as he hung upsidedown in his boxers, strapped against the wall in Bulma's lab.
Bulma examined the hair she had just plucked from the ouji's head.
" Hmm, it looks like somebody's beginning to show his age. " she chuckled, holding up a single dark gray hair that
clashed with the rest of the short prince's black locks.
" WHAT WAS THAT FOR!! " he snapped, " You didn't pick any of Kakarrot's hairs, don't you know that stuff doesn't
grow back! "
" Little Veggie sure is a sourpuss today. " Goku grinned, strapped in the same position about 2 feet away from
Vegeta.
" No reason. " Bulma said, tossing the hair over her shoulder. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" I still don't understand why you have to do this, onna. Kakarrot and I are in PERFECT health. " Vegeta snorted at
her, then yelped and tried to reach at his nose with his hands, which were strapped down too far away to grab at it with,
" KAKARROTTO! "
" You had a nosehair sticking out. " Goku signaled the the little hair now in his hand, " I couldn't just let you
hang upsidedown yelling with a nosehair sticking out like that, silly Veggie. " he smiled at the ouji.
" Well Vegeta, if you two weren't so AFRAID of going to the doctor's office MAYBE I wouldn't have to do this
myself! " Bulma said, exasperated as she grabbed a thermomitor and stuck it in Goku's mouth.
" What do you MEAN "by myself". What about _THE EVIL ONE_. " he glared at Chi-Chi, who was sitting across the room,
watching them, amused.
" Oh, I'm just here to watch you get humiliated. " she chuckled.
" WHAT!!! "
" Seriously, Ouji. I'm joking. If I wanted to watch that all I'd have to do is stand on the sidelines while you spar
with Goku. "
" I am very strong! " Goku said proudly.
" I'm really here to pick him up when Bulma's done with the checkups on you two. " Chi-Chi nodded.
" Hmmph, just great. " Vegeta grumbled as Bulma stuck a thermomitor in his mouth also. Bulma walked over to the
larger saiyajin and took his thermomitor out of his mouth.
" Well, your temperature seems normal, Son-kun. " Bulma said, reading the thermomitor, " You check out alright. But
I'm going to have to take a blood sample just to make sure. " she said, taking a needle out of her lab coat.
Goku's eyes widened at the sight of the sharp, pointy metal object, " AHHHHHH!!! " he shrieked, " NO NO NO NO! EVIL
EVIL EVIL!! " he shook his body, trying to get out of the straps.
" Come on Son, it's a perfectly normal-- " she took a step towards him, then tripped, sending the needle flying into
the air and crashlanding centimeters from Goku's head and into the wall.
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! "
" --procedure. " she finished dryly, laying on the ground. Bulma got to her feet and took out another needle.
" WHAT ARE YOU DOING! TRYING TO USE MY HEAD AS A DART BOARD!! " the panicky saiyajin shrieked.
" Chi, could you help me here for a moment. " Bulma groaned. Chi-Chi got up out of her seat and walked over to the
small group.
" Go-chan? " she said, bending down to where his head was. She turned hers sideways, " Go-chan, look up there! " she
pointed to the floor.
" What? "
" Look! Can't you see it? "
" See what? "
" Oh, oh, you missed it. " she said sadly.
" Aww, " Goku sighed, disappointed. Meanwhile Bulma pulled the blood-filled needle out of Goku's arm.
" Perfect! " Bulma said happily.
" What's perf--AHHH!! " Goku glanced at the needle, " DON'T DO IT! DON'T DO IT! "
" I already did it. " Bulma replied.
Goku noticed the little red hole in his arm, " ...oh. "
" Baka. " Vegeta rolled his eyes, " _I_ don't need anyone to deter MY attention. As the GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN
NO OUJI I am naturally braver than "little Kaka-chan" is. " he said mockingly.
" Well, in that case I guess we should use the BIG needle. " Chi-Chi pulled out a needle twice her size. Vegeta
cried out in fright.
" AAUGH! WHERE DID YOU GET ONE THAT BIG!!! " he gawked.
" Chi-chan don't you stick that in little Veggie's body! You'll KILL him! " Goku gasped.
" ...in that case-- " Chi-Chi smirked, leaning the needle towards Vegeta's stomach.
" KAKA-CHAAAAAAN!!!! " Vegeta screamed.
" LITTLE BUDDY!!! " Goku screamed back in terror.
Vegeta squinted his eyes shut as the needle thrust into his stomach, then opened them a second later to see the
needle had bended as soon as it hit him, " What the--? "
" It's a balloon! " Goku grinned, entertained.
" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! " Chi-Chi laughed at the ouji.
Vegeta glared at her, " I'll bet you enjoyed that, didn't you, Onna. "
" HAHAHAHAHAHA--yes I did--HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! "
" Yes, that's right, laugh. You won't be laughing after you're gone for good and Kakarrotto is mine for the choosing
and easily manipulatable AT MY WILL!! " Vegeta smirked at her.
" Like THAT would happen. " Chi-Chi rolled her eyes.
" Oh it will. Saiyajins youth lasts eternally longer compared to mere HUMANS such as yourself. " Vegeta boasted,
" ESPECIALLY those of ROYAL bloodline, like myself. But don't worry about Kaka-chan, I assure you I will be there to comfort
my future servant-maid once you have, you know, run out of gas on the highway of life. "
" Ooh, good analogy, little Veggie. " Goku said, impressed.
" Why thank you Kakay! " Vegeta smiled, then felt something sting him in the arm. He looked up to see Bulma taking
the blood into another needle, " BULMA!! " he exclaimed, " ...that hurt. "
The others sweatdropped.
Bulma unstrapped Goku, who did a summersalt and landed on his feet inches away from Chi-Chi, " TA-DA! " he cheered,
then did a bow.
" I'm done with them, you can take Goku home now. " Bulma said to Chi-Chi, " All I have left to do is examine these
blood-samples--and I don't need them for that. "
The Sons got their things together to leave.
" HEY! AREN'T YOU GOING TO UNSTRAP _ME_ TOO! " Vegeta complained.
" _YOU_ can stay there until Son-kun and Chi-Chi get in the car. I don't want what happened last time to happen
again. "
" Last time, " Vegeta trailed off into a flashback...
:::" YOU LET HIM OUT OF THERE RIGHT NOW OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi screamed with rage as she pounded on the door to Vegeta's
room.
" Why should I, you'll just HURT HIM AGAIN with the "evil needles". " Vegeta mocked, Goku bouncing on the ouji's bed
in the backround.
" Needles hurt, Veggie! " Goku cried while bouncing and holding one arm.
" See that, Onna, you HURT him. " Vegeta snickered from behind the door.
" I'LL HURT YOU OUJI!! "
" Sorry, Kakay's living with me now and we're going to go somewhere far away that's too beautiful and lavishly
expensive for you to ever take him, neh. " he stuck his tongue out at her and grinned.
" ARRRG!!! " Chi-Chi burst through the door, a chainsaw held over her head, " DIE OUJI DIE!!! ":::
" ...oh yeah, I KINDA remember that. " Vegeta said innocently.
" It took us THREE MONTHS to re-apollster the furniture in your room, NOT TO MENTION get rid of all the water that
flew out of your water-bed. " Bulma said, annoyed, " I thought we were having a flashflood! It was like the TITANIC in
there! "
" I thought you liked those kinds of movies. " he pointed out.
" NOT WHEN IT'S IN MY OWN HOUSE!!! " she screamed.
" Bye Bulma! Bye little Veggie! " Goku said cheerfully, his gi back on, ready to teleport them back home.
" Bye-bye Kaka-chan. " Vegeta said w/fake big sparkily eyes, a sad look on his face.
" Ohhh! Poor little Veggie. " Goku started walking towards him, his arms open to hug the prince, only to get caught
by his collar.
" We're GOING HOME now, Goku. " Chi-Chi said, narrowing her eyes at the ouji, " Besides, it's a trap. "
" But what about my little Veggie. He looks so poor and helpless. " Goku sniffled.
" Poor and helpless my BEHIND! " she scoffed, " Now take us home. "
" Alright Chi-chan. " Goku said, then placed his fingers on his forehead and teleported them away.
" Bye Kakay! " Vegeta waved, then snickered. Bulma unlatched him from the wall.
" You know, you really shouldn't agitate Chi-Chi like that. " Bulma said as Vegeta got back on his feet.
" I dunno, I thought if I did it enough her head would explode and I'd be able to get Kakarrotto's servantship all
that much sooner. " Vegeta mused.
" My God can you be concieted sometimes. " Bulma groaned as she placed a microscope on the table.
" I'm not concieted, I'm merely in the process of taking what is rightfully mine. As prince I rule over ALL peasants
in my kindgom and have unlimited command over them. Kakarrot HAPPENS to be one of those peasants. " he nodded proudly.
" Still, it gives you no right to drive Chi-Chi crazy to make a point. " she said.
" It's not my fault she happens to be standing in the way of my eternal happiness. " he hmmphed.
" Vegeta, if you want a maid so bad, we'll HIRE one! " Bulma squirted one of the blood samples onto a small piece of
glass.
" Only if it's Kakarrotto. " Vegeta smirked, folding his arms.
" UGH! " Bulma slapped herself on the forehead, " Vegeta, hand me that other needle over there. " she pointed to the
remaining needle. The prince did so.
" What do you need blood samples for anyway! I know EVERYTHING about the workings of the saiyajin body. " Vegeta
put his fist to his chest boastfully.
" I'm sure you do. " Bulma said flatly, " But I need to check for any abnormalities. "
" Abnormalities?! There is nothing wrong with me, Bul-chan. " Vegeta said, slightly offended, " Why I bet you could
not even tell the difference between ROYAL SAIYAJIN BLOOD and common PEASANT blood. "
" There's a difference? " she said, intreged while focusing the microscope.
" Hai. Saiyajins of nobility have little blue dots that when focused up to 100% under a microscope can be visibly
seen in the blood while third-class citizens like Kakarrot have little orange dots instead. "
Bulma blinked, " Umm, Vegeta, I don't see any little blue dots. " she said, scratching her head.
" Of course they're there! " he pushed her out of the way, " It's GOT to be that your human eyes aren't keen enough
to spot them as we saiyajins are. " Vegeta peered into the microscope himself.
They waited there a good five minutes. Bulma glanced at her watch, " Vegeta, can I have my microscope BACK now? "
" I don't see them. " he said in utmost confusion, " Where are they? "
" Where are WHAT, Vegeta? " she groaned, becoming frustrated.
" My little blue dots! I don't see them ANYWHERE! " a slight pang of worry entered Vegeta's voice, " They--they've
got to be here SOMEWHERE! " he nervously tried adjusting the knobs on the microscope.
" I'm sure they're in there, V-kun, now let me have it back. " Bulma said, tired.
" NO! NOT UNTIL I SEE THEY'RE THERE!! " he snapped at her, " Ohhh, this is madness! I am the GREAT AND POWERFUL
SAIYAJIN NO OUJI! Yet-to-be-crowned COMPLETE RULER of Bejito-sei! How can the trademark insignia of my royal blood SUDDENLY
disappear like this! There should be MILLIONS of little blue dots bouncing around in there! "
" Move, I'll look for you. " Bulma said. The prince stepped aside as she peered down and re-adjusted the microscope
back to its normal power, " Hmm....OH! "
" OH? "
" I saw something! I saw something move--I can't believe it! You're right! " Bulma gasped, astonished, " This is
incredible, Vegeta. I've never seen anything LIKE IT! "
The ouji grinned with pride, " Thank you Bulma, I appreciate having SOMEONE on this planet that recognizes the worth
of having a saiyajin from the ruling empire of Bejito-sei inhabiting their planet. "
" Only--these aren't blue. "
Vegeta froze, " ...WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY AREN'T BLUE!!! "
" That's what I said, they aren't blue. " Bulma said casually, " Look. " he leaned against her and peered into the
microscope. A horrified look covered Vegeta's face. He screamed.
" AHHHH!! THIS CANNOT BE!!! IT ISN'T! I WON'T BELIEVE IT!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! IT'S--IT'S---orange. " he turned a
pale green, " Impossible... "
" So it's orange and not blue, big deal. It's certainly healthy, and that's the major concern. " Bulma patted him on
the back.
" NO! NO THAT'S _NOT_ THE MAJOR CONCERN!! " he whipped around and stared at her, " ORANGE DOTS BELONG IN PEASANTS
LIKE KAKARROT! NOT OUJI'S LIKE ME!!! " Vegeta cried out.
" Vegeta, have you ever seen your blood upclose like this BEFORE? " Bulma asked.
He thought back, " ...no. I haven't... " even more worry began to pour into his being, " I DISTINCTLY remember my
father telling me about it though. All those times back at the palace...and even on Freezer's ship whenever I got seriously
damaged or lost a fair amount of blood there was no real time to go and LOOK at it under some scientific device. Kaasan never
let me see it when they were examining it back home either... "
" Well that's oh-kay. There's nothing WRONG with-- "
" --DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!!! " Vegeta threw his arms in the air, " IT MEANS THAT IF MY BLOOD REALLY HAS THOSE
LITTLE ORANGE DOTS IN IT THEN....then I'm not really a prince at all... " his arms when limp. He swallowed hard, " That would
mean that I am no more royalty than Kakarrotto is. " he said quietly.
" Oh you're being foolish! You've been telling EVERYONE day in and day out that YOU are "the great and powerful
saiyajin no ouji" for SO MANY years now. It would be stupid to doubt that now. Don't you have any evidance of being royalty.
You know, didn't your parents ever make videotapes of you on your 1st birthday or take pictures of when you were born or
SOMETHING?! "
" We never used videocameras much on Bejito-sei. And as for pictures...I wouldn't know. I'm an only child. The only
people who could have possibly told me if my parents HAD taken such pictures would be Nappa and Raditsu, and they're both...
you know, dead. " Vegeta shrugged.
" Listen, just forget about it Vegeta. Go watch some TV or something. " Bulma suggested.
" FORGET ABOUT IT! _HOW_ CAN I JUST FORGET ABOUT! ONNA I'M A _PEASANT_!!! " he wailed, leaning against the side of
the wall. He put his hand on his forehead, " It all makes sense to me now. Why I cannot keep up with Kakarrotto's strength,
why I'm not as tall as the rest of my family--who for the most part are even TALLER than Kakarrot himself...I'm nothing more
than some lucky third-class saiyajin who SOMEHOW got himself adopted into the royal family. "
" Vegeta I think you're overeacting about all this-- "
" --I don't know how to BE a peasant, onna! " he grabbed her by the collar, worried, " I know HOW to be a prince, but
that's no use now that I'm NOT EVEN ONE TO BEGIN WITH!!! " nervous sweat began to pour down Vegeta's forehead, " What am I
going to do Bulma! Who am I going to turn to... " Vegeta paused, then instantly dropped her to the floor, " I'm going to
pack. "
" PACK?! PACK WHAT!! "
" You know, some bread--water, peasant things. " he said, going up the staircase, hunched over like he had a
stomachache, " I have somewhere I have to go. " Vegeta squeaked out in a small voice. A little cloud of gloom hanging over
him as he ascended the stairs.
Bulma sweatdropped, " Vegeta, where do you think you're GOING! "
" Somewhere where a lonely third-class saiyajin like myself will be accepted. " he said, his back to her as he made
it to the top of the staircase.
" ...and where would THAT be?? "
" *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*! " the door banged emotionlessly.
" Ugh! Goku could you get that! " Chi-Chi said from the kitchen, annoyed, " That monotonous knocking's drowing out
my cooking!! "
" Oh-kay Chi-chan! " Goku replied happily as he got up and walked to the door. The large saiyajin opened it to see
a small figure standing in the doorway with a brown sack over his shoulder and wearing a giant poorly made towel over his
shoulders and covering his body down to the knees. A little gloom cloud hung over his head, pouring rain onto him and soaking
his hair along with the rest of his outfit. Goku stared at him in confusion for a moment, then gasped when he realized who it
was, " LITTLE VEGGIE! " he cried, grabbing the ouji by the hands and pulling him inside. Goku slammed the door on the
small raincloud's face, " Oh Veggie what happened to you! " he lead him over to the couch and sat him down.
" 'Veggie'? " Chi-Chi said, entering the room with a soup spoon still inhand, " What's that evil little ouji doing
here--OH MY GOD!!! " she gawked at Vegeta, who looked like a wet, homeless bum in a towel.
" I'm not a ouji, Chi-Chi, so you can stop calling me that. " he said, dark rings under his eyes.
" What? " Chi-Chi looked him over, questioningly.
" Aww little Veggie, what happened to you? Did Bulma kick you out of the house? " Goku said, grabbing another nearby
towel and attempting to dry off Vegeta's soaked mane of hair.
" No, I left by myself. " he leaned his wet body back against the couch. In the backround Chi-Chi was busy flipping
out over all the mud and gunk Vegeta was spreading to her funiture, " You see, Kakarrot, I have an awful confession to make.
Something terrible has just brought me to grips with reality and it isn't very pretty. " Vegeta sniffled, " Kakarrotto, I am
a third-class saiyajin like you. "
" Just like ME? " a wide grin spread across Goku's face.
" Yes, just like YOU! " Vegeta sobbed into his already dirty hands, " When Bulma checked the blood in my container it
had the little orange dots and only PEASANTS have little orange dots and--and--and--I'M SO LOST KAKAY!! " he wailed. The
larger saiyajin gave him a hug.
" There there little Veggie. It'll be oh-kay little buddy 'o mine. " Goku said sympathetically, giving the ouji a
quick squeeze.
Chi-Chi just stood there watching them, replused, " You know Ouji-boy, you have pulled some bad ones in the past but
this is by FAR the LOWEST one I've EVER seen! "
" But, it's NOT a trick. " he sniffled.
" Chi-chan! " Goku gawked at her, " How could you suggest such a thing when Veggie's in such a state of shock and
confusion! " he patted Vegeta on the shoulder, " Don't you worry Veggie, you can stay here as long as you like until you're
all better, oh-kay? "
" NO HE CAN'T!!! " Chi-Chi yelled, " HE'S TRYING TO TRICK US AGAIN GOKU! LIKE HE TRICKED US EARLIER TODAY! IT'S PART
OF WHO HE IS! I COOK! YOU EAT! VEGETA TRICKS YOU! "
" I don't even deserve that name. " Vegeta said quietly, " Vegeta's a name for someone of saiyajin royalty...and I'm
a--a--a--A PEASAAAAAAAANT!!! " he started bawling again.
" It's really not that bad Veggie. " Goku interupted him.
" Don't call me Veggie either. " the ouji shook his head.
" Well, then, I'll just have to call you V-chan instead! " Goku said cheerfully, " That oh-kay with YOU, "V-chan"? "
" Uhh..yes. I think so. " Vegeta said uneasily. Goku got up from the couch.
" GREAT! Veggie's gonna be V-chan from now on; till he gets his confidence back anyways. " he said to Chi-Chi, then
broke into a huge grin, " Hey! Chi-chan and V-chan! Heehee; they RHYMNE! In't that CUTE! " Goku pinched one of the ouji's
cheeks. The ouji's face glowed bright red.
" Charming. " Chi-Chi said, sickened. She noticed Vegeta's face, " HA! HE'S RED! IT _IS_ A TRICK!!! "
" Veggie can't help THAT! " Goku exclaimed, then giggled, " He loves me! "
" GAH--I DO NOT!!! " Vegeta protested, glowing brighter.
" And what about that outfit of his! " Chi-Chi pointed to the large rag Vegeta was wearing, " Doesn't that look
suspicous! "
" It's my peasant-wear. I'm a peasant now so I have to dress like one. " Vegeta responded.
Chi-Chi groaned, " Vegeta, p-- "
" "V-chan". " Goku said, corrected her.
" --fine. V-chan, " Chi-Chi spat out, " Do you REALLY think us 'peasants' dress like that; all dirty with RAGS for
clothes! "
" That's how we peasants dressed back on Bejito-sei. "
" "we peasants", oh God I can't believe this. " Chi-Chi slapped herself on the forehead.
" Except Kakarrotto, he lived in the palace with my 'adoptive' family and I. He and his family were the only peasants
living there, that is, if you don't include MEEEEEE-WAHHHHHHHHH!!! "
" There he goes again. " Chi-Chi shook her head at the sobbing prince.
" Kakarrotto, Kakarrotto I need your he--help! " Vegeta sputtered, grabbing Goku's hands, " I need you to teach me,
I have NO IDEA how to be a third-class saiyajin like you, I--I'd DIE out there without the proper training! "
" Really? " Chi-Chi perked up, then recieved a short death-glare from Goku. She sweatdropped.
" I was taught everything I needed to know as prince in order for me to become king one day...but all that
information is USELESS to a common peasant. And that's why I need to learn how to be a peasant! " he got down on the floor,
still holding the larger saiyajin's hands, " PLEASE Kakarrot, I BEG of you; from one peasant to another, teach me how to be
like you--how to fish, how to hunt small woodland creatures for snacks, how to act like a total brainless fool, EVERYTHING
you do _I_ want to do TOO! GIMMIE THE WORKS! "
" ... " Goku stared down at him, wide-eyed.
" Ka--Kakarrot? " Vegeta blinked, awaiting an answer.
" YAAHHH!! " Goku squealed at the top of his lungs to the ouji's surprise. He tossed Vegeta into the air and caught
him under the arms, " Hahahahahahahahahaha! " the large saiyajin laughed ecstatically, spinning the ouji around the room,
then hugging him tightly, " OH LITTLE BUDDY I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! "
" You...are? " Vegeta's face glowed bright red.
" OH _YES_! I can't believe it Veggie! This is going to be so GREAT! " he dropped Vegeta to the ground. The prince
yelped as his butt hit the floor, " This is going to be the start of a WHOLE NEW LEVEL of buddy-bonding! " Goku clasped his
hands together, a little smile on his face. He turned to the ouji w/big sparkily eyes, " Oh Veh--err, V-chan, you're going to
love it! We're gonna have so much fun together! " he said, dashing up the stairs to his room, cheering, " VEGGIE TIME! WOOO-
-HOOOO!!! " Goku slammed the door behind him, leaving Chi-Chi and Vegeta alone in the living room.
" I haven't seen him this excited in a LONG while. " Chi-Chi said, staring up at the door to Goku's room, " ...I
don't like it. " she narrowed her eyes.
" ... "
" Aren't you ready with some "witty" retort? " Chi-Chi asked the ouji, suspicous.
" No, Onn--err, Chi-Chi, I have no ability to set claim over Kakarrotto while at peasant status. " he said sadly.
" ...waitaminute, back up. You're saying that since you're no longer the "great and powerful saiyajin no ouji", that
under the so-called "third-class saiyajin code of honor" you are BARRED from stealing, manupulating, and/or enslaving my
Goku? " she said with a grin.
" Correct. " Vegeta hung his head.
" WOOOO-HOOOO! THIS REALLY _IS_ "Veggie time"! " Chi-Chi threw her arms in the air, then quickly returned to her calm
state, " In at case, "V-chan", it will be a real PLEASURE to have you aboard the boat to "peasant-land" with us for a SHORT
while. " she smirked, shaking his hand, " Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a hog to roast. " Chi-Chi said, leaving the room,
" "Hog to roast", heh-heh, I love it. "
" I LOVE IT! " Goku said happily as he sat on the floor of his room, holding out one of his old gi's which he had
just cut chunks off the sleeves and pantlegs to make it shorter, " V-chan's going to be so happy! " he layed the cropped gi
on the floor beside the parts he had cut off. Goku took the measuring tape off from around his shoulder and measured the
short gi, " There, it's PERFECT! All nice and Veggie-sized. " he poked his head out of the doorway, " Oh little buddy! " he
said in a sing-song voice, " Come up here, I have something VERY NICE for you. "
" Thank you, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said, still slightly depressed as he climbed the stairs, " It's good to have such
a wonderful future servant-maid to the throne on the same planet as I---did it again. " he cringed, recalling his present
standing in the two-person saiyajin society, " Focus, Vegeta, focus. You're NOT a prince anymore, you're a peasant. But,
but that's oh-kay. " he said, trying to give himself a pep-talk on his way to Goku's room, " I mean, Kakarrot's a peasant,
and he's perfectly happy. So there's nothing for me to worry about. It's not like not being the saiyajin no ouji is going to
completely erase my identi-- " Vegeta froze in the doorway to Goku's room to see the large saiyajin holding up a ouji-sized
orange gi, " --ty. " he squeaked out.
" Isn't it CUTE, V-chan. I didn't have any little enough to fit someone as little as you so I just cut down one of my
own! " Goku said, proud of his work.
Vegeta's face went pale, " Could you excuse me more a moment. " he closed the door.
" Well....oh-kay. " Goku scratched his head, then watched the door.
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH--*gasp*--HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! " a
horrifed scream rang from outside. Vegeta re-opened the door and entered, looking over-stressed and very frazzled.
" Gosh V-chan, you look kinda pale. " Goku said, conserned.
" Uh-huh.... " Vegeta trailed off.
" Here, now you just go put this on and come back in here so I can see how you look! " he said cheerfully has he
dropped the gi into the ouji's hands, " That is, unless you need a little help getting it on. "
" ARE YOU INSINUATING THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CLOTHE MYSELF IN ONE OF YOUR BAKAYARO KAKA-COSTUMES!!! " Vegeta
snorted.
" Aww, no Veggie, I'd NEVER do that. " Goku said, slightly hurt.
" Well, I don't need your help. The GREAT AND POWERFUL--umm, SAIYAJIN NO PEASANT is MORE THAN intellegent enough to
know how to put these articles of Kako-ness on my body. "
" How does he put this stuff on ANYWAY! " Vegeta said, bewildered as he stood in the bathroom in his underwear,
holding the pants to the gi in his hand. The top was draped over the toilet lid, " I guess its just like a regular pair of
pants...right? " he said, putting the orange pants on. He smiled, " There, that wasn't so hard, was it? "
" Goku is that you in there--EEK! " Chi-Chi shrieked, " YOU'RE WEARING HIS PANTS!!! " she pointed to Vegeta.
" Kakarrot HAPPENED to lend them to me, he altered them specifically for my size. " Vegeta smirked.
" I don't CARE! Get those off right now! You're ruining them with your nasty ouji-stench! " Chi-Chi stomped.
" What ouji-stench. " Vegeta snickered, " I'm not a ouji. "
" ... " Chi-Chi bit her lip, searching for something else to yell at him about, " Well...then...carry on. " she
groaned in defeat, leaving the bathroom, " BUT HURRY UP! I NEED TO GET IN THERE! " she snapped before completely disappearing
back down the hall.
" Goku, I don't like it. " Chi-Chi said, narrowing her eyes at the open doorway to the large saiyajin's room. He was
standing next to her.
" Don't like what? "
" I don't like how you're dressing that ouji up like you. It's not right. " she said, ready to attack Vegeta as soon
as he entered the room.
" First of all, V-chan is no longer a ouji. And second, there's nothing not right about it. V-chan wants me to teach
him everything I know, so I've got to get him into costume, right? " Goku pointed out.
" Well, I guess I COULD be overeacting... " Chi-Chi trailed off, " But Goku, you've never FORMALLY TRAINED anybody
in martial arts or anything else for that matter! "
" I haven't? " he blinked, confused.
" OF COURSE YOU HAVEN'T!! " she exclaimed, " Piccolo taught Gohan; for the most part, and _I_ taught Goten! You
weren't around EITHER TIME! And just the idea of you trying to teach the ex-ouji over there all this stuff...not only is it
impossible but it's DANGEROUS! Do you know what would happen if he suddenly got his ego back and decided to fight against you
again! You'd have no defense! He would know EVERY SINGLE THING you would be about to DO! "
" But he's my little buddy. " Goku said.
" Yes, but he's not your FRIEND. Just because Vegeta has discovered he's no longer a real prince and wants to seek
training from you DOES NOT mean he's instantly going to turn around and be as cheerful, mindless, and carefree as the one in
your head is! " Chi-Chi sighed heavily.
" *knock* *knock* "
" There he is now. " Chi-Chi stepped aside from the door, " You get it. "
Goku opened the door to see Vegeta standing there in the little gi, grinning, " So? Are we ready to go or what? "

END OF PART ONE
Piccolo: (wide-eyed) Wow...Son's trying to turn Vegeta into a brainless-fish-loving idiot like he is. (grins) The guy's an
evil genius and he doesn't even know it. [glances at Chu, who's happily browsing through something on her computer] Say,
what are you doing?
Chuquita: Remember what I said last fic about wanting to find some humor doujinshi?
Piccolo: Yeah?
Chuquita: Well I found it....still don't have any though.
Piccolo: (confused) Huh?
Chuquita: I went to eBay for the first time a couple days ago and I found some pretty funny dbz doujinshis so I saved the
images to my folder. There's one called Lunatic Fist where Veggie gets sprayed with some of Bulma's perfume and starts seeing
hallutionations of Freezer and Ginyu and stuff; but what he's really looking at is anything from a mailbox to a streetlight.
He ends up blasting the whole town in defense. At the end Bulma blames Veggie for it all in the firstplace.
Kayka: Poor Veggie.
Chuquita: Then there's another one I didn't get the name of, but I saved the image anyway. It's got everyone on a farm and
(get this) Veggie's dressed up in blue overalls, a white t-shirt, and sneakers. He's sitting in the corner of the picture
stuffing his face with apples from a bucket.
Kayka: Like back in "Meadow Muffins"!
Chuquita: Yeah, I thought it was some kind of freaky coinciedence myself. Then there's one that I just thought was funny
cuz it's got Veggie in his pink shirt trying to choke you because you were gone so long (this is right after Mirai's first
appearance) and he can't reach you cuz he's so short. The last one, (which I'm using for my desktop image right now) is
called Lovely Nurse. Everyone's drawn all cute & chibi-fied (one of my favorite artstyles), but the funniest part was the
fact that it has Goku here playing a doctor and Veggie's his nurse. Hence the title. They're trying to give Marron her
medicine and she starts crying and Juuhachigou gets mad and throws two big boulders at them. The best part was seeing Veggie
in that nurse gettup with the little shoes and everything. No little hat though.
Vegeta: (to Chu) (glaring at her) You enjoy seeing my humiliation, don't you?
Chuquita: (grins) Yes I do. (to audiance) If anyone wants to see the picture for (snickers) Lovely Nurse; it's going to be
on eBay till the 9th. I missed getting the picture for Lunatic Fist intime for me to save it to my computer. (pouts)
Piccolo: Somehow I can't see Son as a doctor. (to Veggie) Can you imagine being on the operating table for a major transplant
or something and they call the head doctor in and it end up being him!
Vegeta: (a pale white) I would die before Kakarrot even got his hands on my inner organs.
Kayka: (hugs Veggie) Aww, don't worry little Veggie, I would do my best to take care of you.
Vegeta: (bright red) I don't care what Chu says, this saiyajin girl CAN'T be Kakarrotto!
Kayka: (blinks) I...can't? Veggie?
Vegeta: (still glowing) (shaking his head) NO! You can't! There's no way! (in denial)
Kayka: (smirks) Well, Veggie if you knew for a fact that I WAS Kakarrot, in girl form, what would be the first thing you'd
say to me!
Vegeta: Let's have children.
Kayka: (taken aback) WHAT?!?
[Chu & Pic sweatdrop]
Kayka: (sweatdrops also) Oh-kay, now I'm kinda scared.
Vegeta: It doesn't matter. You're not a female Kakarrot anyway.
Kayka: YES I AM!!! (pouts) What can I do to convince you! (idea-time!) HA! [snaps her fingers] Little Veggie watch me!
Vegeta: Hmm?
Kayka: (goes SSJ1, then SSJ2, then SSJ3) (cheering) TA-DA!
Vegeta: [jaw drops to the floor]
Kayka: There, don't we feel silly now!
Vegeta: (slaps his hands over his mouth to prevent himself from saying anything) (whimpers nervously)
Kayka: (powers down) Aww, what'sa matter little buddy? You look awful frightened. [leans towards him]
Vegeta: [leans back away from her] (glowing again)
Chuquita: (to Veggie) I see we're having some sort of mental conflict going on here, eh?
Vegeta: (glares at her) You have no idea.
Kayka: (to Pic) Little Veggie looks like he's going into contortions or something.
Piccolo: (snickers) He does, doesn't he?
Kayka: (big dopey grin) So little Veggie? Did you REALLY mean it when you said you wanna have babies?
Vegeta: MANY! (yelps and slaps his mouth shut again)
Kayka: (dumbfounded) Many? (to Chu) I don't think I'd wanna make any Veggie-babies, Chu-sama.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) You won't have to. You're not GOING to.
Kayka: (wipes the sweat off her forehead) *whew*! Good. (perks up) Besides, we already have Ji-chan and Goggie and they're
such nice little boys.
Piccolo: LITTLE, she says...
Vegeta: (glares at Kayka) VEJITTO AND GOGETA ARE NOT OUR CHILDREN YOU KNUCKLEHEAD!! THEY'RE FUSIONS GONE WRONG AND THAT
SHOULD NEVER HAVE EXISTED IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
Chuquita: He's in denial.
Kayka: I guess that's why he wants to do it the natural way, huh.
Vegeta: (at the top of his lungs) SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!!!
Kayka: [zips her lips shut]
Chuquita: (blinks at the sight of the zipper) How'd you do that?
Kayka: (shrugs)
Chuquita: (to audiance) See you in Part 2 everybody.
Kayka: (happily) Mmmph muh mmph mmp mmfa mmfa!
Chuquita: My words exactly.

Quote of the Week: "I wanna walk like you, talk like you, it's true, someone like me, would like to be, like someone like
you." -King Louie; "The Jungle Book"
Chuey's Corner:
Piccolo: (grinning) I'm anticipating this story just from hearing "The Quote of the Week".
Chuquita: You're enjoying being part of our little "crew" for this fic, aren'tcha, Pic?
Piccolo: (snickers) You bet.
Chuquita: [looks up] Oh I missed my marker. *A-hem*. Hi and welcome to the Corner. I'm Chuquita.
Piccolo: (cocks an eyebrow) A little rusty from the break, I see?
Chuquita: NAH! That Tenchi fic only took ONE day. Less than anticipated. (grins) Which is a GOOD thing!
[changes subject] I'd like to introduce my co-host; Veggie--who's not here yet, but is on his way. To my left is Piccolo,
who came here during the last story with a suggestion and still hasn't left yet.
Piccolo: I plan to leave after our ouji friend has theroughly gone out of his mind in his reaction to Son over there. [points
to the figure to Chu's right]
Chuquita: OH YEAH! Anyone who missed the last dbz fic, "Me, Myself and I"; during the last Corner, Piccolo, (w/the help
of Miss Sheba; who isn't here with us) made a suggestion to turn Son-San into a girl for the next Corner. So, here we are in
the next Corner--with "Kayka".
Kayka: That's Kakay in pig latin. (grins)
Piccolo: It doesn't matter what Goku looks like--he's still Goku.
Chuquita: Or SHE in this case.
Kayka: (happily) I LIKE PIE!
Chuquita: Don't we all.
Kayka: Say, Chu-sama, where's little Veggie? He _IS_ coming back, isn't he?
Chuquita: Sure! [loud banging noise coming from the door behind them] (turns to door)
Piccolo: (smirks) There he is now, the lucky guy--(bursts into laughter)
Chuquita: SHHSHHHSSHH! (shushing Piccolo) We can't let him suspect anything! Remember?!
Piccolo: I know, it's just so darn funny--Vegeta meeting "Kayka" here.
Kayka: (big Son grin) (anxious) YAY! VEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIE--ulp! [Chu slaps her hand over Son's mouth]
Vegeta: [re-enters the Corner; sopping wet] ...I'm back.
Kayka: HI LITTLE VEH--ack! [Pic slaps his hand over Son's mouth]
Chuquita: Hello my little ouji-friend....(raises an eyebrow) Why are you all wet like that?
Vegeta: (narrows his eyes at her) Do you know HOW much water is needed to return a saiyajin body back to its normal state
after it's tempertature DRASTICALLY jumps to 200'F?
Chuquita: Hmm, let me guess...
Vegeta: --A _LOT_! THAT'S HOW MUCH! (snarls at her) IF I HAD GLOWED RED ANY BRIGHTER I WOULD LIKELY _EXPLODE_!!!
Chuquita: (intreged) Ooh! Really?
Piccolo: Mental note....[writes something down on a sticky-pad]
Vegeta: Hmmph! [stubbornly marches over to his seat next to Goku and sits down] (while staring at the audiance) And what's
the Namek still doing here! He should be gone by now.
Chuquita: I can't get him to leave until he's seen what he wants to see.
Vegeta: And that would be--
Piccolo: The saiyajin on your right.
Vegeta: (confused) Kakarrot?
Kayka: EEE-HEEHEEHEEHEE! (giggles like a maniac)
Vegeta: (still staring forward) Is it just me, or does Kakarrot's voice sound higher than usual? Well, high for Kakarrot
anyway--and that's pretty high.
Kayka: (excited) VeggieVeggie lookit me!
Piccolo: Yeah Vegeta, go on, take a look.
Vegeta: (suspicous) Something happened to Kakarrotto, didn't it?
Chuquita: Why don't you take a look and find out.
Kayka: Yeah, come on little Veggie. [tugs at the sundress from the last story] I'm VERY pretty. (bursts into giggles again)
Vegeta: "pretty"??? [glances at Son and shrieks] AHHHHH!! (face glows bright red) (breathing quickly) Who--who--who--who--
--WHO IS THIS!! [points at Son] THIS--this female saiyajin with Kakarrot's voic--(goes limp)---no. Tell me it isn't?
Kayka: (bats eyelashes) Yes it IS! (big Son grin) LITTLE BUDDY VEGGIE HUG ME! [grabs Veggie & hugs him] I missed you Veggie!
Vegeta: (shrieking) AHH! AHH! AHH! [pulls out of Son's grip; shaking & breathing even faster] (growls) ERR, KAKARROTTO WHY!!!
Kayka: It was Piccolo's idea. And it's only for one fic, so calm down. (giggles) Ain't I neat! [points at herself]
Vegeta: [w/his arms crossed] (nervously) (to himself) Fighting urges, fighting urges, fighting urges---
Kayka: (leans infront of him) What urges?
Vegeta: (screams at the ceiling) SAIYAJIN URGES!!! [returns to his little chant]
Kayka: (to Chu) Veggie gonna be oh-kay?
Chuquita: (worried) I hope so.
Piccolo: (grins evily) I hope not.
Summary: Bulma does some tests on the boys and Veggie mistakes Goku's dna sample for his. The shocked prince now
thinks he too is a peasant. Vegeta then goes to Son, begging him to teach the ouji how to be a thrid-class saiyajin like
himself. Now the ouji must undergo a series of, to him, humiliating tasks. Will he survive? What happens when he finds out
about the mix-up?
Vegeta: (to Son) Are you SURE you're Kakarrotto?
Kayka: Yup!
Vegeta: Absolutely sure?
Kayka: Yes I am!
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) Ohhhh---[turns to ceiling]--I HATE YOU NAMEK!
Piccolo: Heeheehee!
Chuquita: On with the show!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" YEOWWWWWWWW!!!! " Vegeta screamed as he hung upsidedown in his boxers, strapped against the wall in Bulma's lab.
Bulma examined the hair she had just plucked from the ouji's head.
" Hmm, it looks like somebody's beginning to show his age. " she chuckled, holding up a single dark gray hair that
clashed with the rest of the short prince's black locks.
" WHAT WAS THAT FOR!! " he snapped, " You didn't pick any of Kakarrot's hairs, don't you know that stuff doesn't
grow back! "
" Little Veggie sure is a sourpuss today. " Goku grinned, strapped in the same position about 2 feet away from
Vegeta.
" No reason. " Bulma said, tossing the hair over her shoulder. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" I still don't understand why you have to do this, onna. Kakarrot and I are in PERFECT health. " Vegeta snorted at
her, then yelped and tried to reach at his nose with his hands, which were strapped down too far away to grab at it with,
" KAKARROTTO! "
" You had a nosehair sticking out. " Goku signaled the the little hair now in his hand, " I couldn't just let you
hang upsidedown yelling with a nosehair sticking out like that, silly Veggie. " he smiled at the ouji.
" Well Vegeta, if you two weren't so AFRAID of going to the doctor's office MAYBE I wouldn't have to do this
myself! " Bulma said, exasperated as she grabbed a thermomitor and stuck it in Goku's mouth.
" What do you MEAN "by myself". What about _THE EVIL ONE_. " he glared at Chi-Chi, who was sitting across the room,
watching them, amused.
" Oh, I'm just here to watch you get humiliated. " she chuckled.
" WHAT!!! "
" Seriously, Ouji. I'm joking. If I wanted to watch that all I'd have to do is stand on the sidelines while you spar
with Goku. "
" I am very strong! " Goku said proudly.
" I'm really here to pick him up when Bulma's done with the checkups on you two. " Chi-Chi nodded.
" Hmmph, just great. " Vegeta grumbled as Bulma stuck a thermomitor in his mouth also. Bulma walked over to the
larger saiyajin and took his thermomitor out of his mouth.
" Well, your temperature seems normal, Son-kun. " Bulma said, reading the thermomitor, " You check out alright. But
I'm going to have to take a blood sample just to make sure. " she said, taking a needle out of her lab coat.
Goku's eyes widened at the sight of the sharp, pointy metal object, " AHHHHHH!!! " he shrieked, " NO NO NO NO! EVIL
EVIL EVIL!! " he shook his body, trying to get out of the straps.
" Come on Son, it's a perfectly normal-- " she took a step towards him, then tripped, sending the needle flying into
the air and crashlanding centimeters from Goku's head and into the wall.
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! "
" --procedure. " she finished dryly, laying on the ground. Bulma got to her feet and took out another needle.
" WHAT ARE YOU DOING! TRYING TO USE MY HEAD AS A DART BOARD!! " the panicky saiyajin shrieked.
" Chi, could you help me here for a moment. " Bulma groaned. Chi-Chi got up out of her seat and walked over to the
small group.
" Go-chan? " she said, bending down to where his head was. She turned hers sideways, " Go-chan, look up there! " she
pointed to the floor.
" What? "
" Look! Can't you see it? "
" See what? "
" Oh, oh, you missed it. " she said sadly.
" Aww, " Goku sighed, disappointed. Meanwhile Bulma pulled the blood-filled needle out of Goku's arm.
" Perfect! " Bulma said happily.
" What's perf--AHHH!! " Goku glanced at the needle, " DON'T DO IT! DON'T DO IT! "
" I already did it. " Bulma replied.
Goku noticed the little red hole in his arm, " ...oh. "
" Baka. " Vegeta rolled his eyes, " _I_ don't need anyone to deter MY attention. As the GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN
NO OUJI I am naturally braver than "little Kaka-chan" is. " he said mockingly.
" Well, in that case I guess we should use the BIG needle. " Chi-Chi pulled out a needle twice her size. Vegeta
cried out in fright.
" AAUGH! WHERE DID YOU GET ONE THAT BIG!!! " he gawked.
" Chi-chan don't you stick that in little Veggie's body! You'll KILL him! " Goku gasped.
" ...in that case-- " Chi-Chi smirked, leaning the needle towards Vegeta's stomach.
" KAKA-CHAAAAAAN!!!! " Vegeta screamed.
" LITTLE BUDDY!!! " Goku screamed back in terror.
Vegeta squinted his eyes shut as the needle thrust into his stomach, then opened them a second later to see the
needle had bended as soon as it hit him, " What the--? "
" It's a balloon! " Goku grinned, entertained.
" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! " Chi-Chi laughed at the ouji.
Vegeta glared at her, " I'll bet you enjoyed that, didn't you, Onna. "
" HAHAHAHAHAHA--yes I did--HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! "
" Yes, that's right, laugh. You won't be laughing after you're gone for good and Kakarrotto is mine for the choosing
and easily manipulatable AT MY WILL!! " Vegeta smirked at her.
" Like THAT would happen. " Chi-Chi rolled her eyes.
" Oh it will. Saiyajins youth lasts eternally longer compared to mere HUMANS such as yourself. " Vegeta boasted,
" ESPECIALLY those of ROYAL bloodline, like myself. But don't worry about Kaka-chan, I assure you I will be there to comfort
my future servant-maid once you have, you know, run out of gas on the highway of life. "
" Ooh, good analogy, little Veggie. " Goku said, impressed.
" Why thank you Kakay! " Vegeta smiled, then felt something sting him in the arm. He looked up to see Bulma taking
the blood into another needle, " BULMA!! " he exclaimed, " ...that hurt. "
The others sweatdropped.
Bulma unstrapped Goku, who did a summersalt and landed on his feet inches away from Chi-Chi, " TA-DA! " he cheered,
then did a bow.
" I'm done with them, you can take Goku home now. " Bulma said to Chi-Chi, " All I have left to do is examine these
blood-samples--and I don't need them for that. "
The Sons got their things together to leave.
" HEY! AREN'T YOU GOING TO UNSTRAP _ME_ TOO! " Vegeta complained.
" _YOU_ can stay there until Son-kun and Chi-Chi get in the car. I don't want what happened last time to happen
again. "
" Last time, " Vegeta trailed off into a flashback...
:::" YOU LET HIM OUT OF THERE RIGHT NOW OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi screamed with rage as she pounded on the door to Vegeta's
room.
" Why should I, you'll just HURT HIM AGAIN with the "evil needles". " Vegeta mocked, Goku bouncing on the ouji's bed
in the backround.
" Needles hurt, Veggie! " Goku cried while bouncing and holding one arm.
" See that, Onna, you HURT him. " Vegeta snickered from behind the door.
" I'LL HURT YOU OUJI!! "
" Sorry, Kakay's living with me now and we're going to go somewhere far away that's too beautiful and lavishly
expensive for you to ever take him, neh. " he stuck his tongue out at her and grinned.
" ARRRG!!! " Chi-Chi burst through the door, a chainsaw held over her head, " DIE OUJI DIE!!! ":::
" ...oh yeah, I KINDA remember that. " Vegeta said innocently.
" It took us THREE MONTHS to re-apollster the furniture in your room, NOT TO MENTION get rid of all the water that
flew out of your water-bed. " Bulma said, annoyed, " I thought we were having a flashflood! It was like the TITANIC in
there! "
" I thought you liked those kinds of movies. " he pointed out.
" NOT WHEN IT'S IN MY OWN HOUSE!!! " she screamed.
" Bye Bulma! Bye little Veggie! " Goku said cheerfully, his gi back on, ready to teleport them back home.
" Bye-bye Kaka-chan. " Vegeta said w/fake big sparkily eyes, a sad look on his face.
" Ohhh! Poor little Veggie. " Goku started walking towards him, his arms open to hug the prince, only to get caught
by his collar.
" We're GOING HOME now, Goku. " Chi-Chi said, narrowing her eyes at the ouji, " Besides, it's a trap. "
" But what about my little Veggie. He looks so poor and helpless. " Goku sniffled.
" Poor and helpless my BEHIND! " she scoffed, " Now take us home. "
" Alright Chi-chan. " Goku said, then placed his fingers on his forehead and teleported them away.
" Bye Kakay! " Vegeta waved, then snickered. Bulma unlatched him from the wall.
" You know, you really shouldn't agitate Chi-Chi like that. " Bulma said as Vegeta got back on his feet.
" I dunno, I thought if I did it enough her head would explode and I'd be able to get Kakarrotto's servantship all
that much sooner. " Vegeta mused.
" My God can you be concieted sometimes. " Bulma groaned as she placed a microscope on the table.
" I'm not concieted, I'm merely in the process of taking what is rightfully mine. As prince I rule over ALL peasants
in my kindgom and have unlimited command over them. Kakarrot HAPPENS to be one of those peasants. " he nodded proudly.
" Still, it gives you no right to drive Chi-Chi crazy to make a point. " she said.
" It's not my fault she happens to be standing in the way of my eternal happiness. " he hmmphed.
" Vegeta, if you want a maid so bad, we'll HIRE one! " Bulma squirted one of the blood samples onto a small piece of
glass.
" Only if it's Kakarrotto. " Vegeta smirked, folding his arms.
" UGH! " Bulma slapped herself on the forehead, " Vegeta, hand me that other needle over there. " she pointed to the
remaining needle. The prince did so.
" What do you need blood samples for anyway! I know EVERYTHING about the workings of the saiyajin body. " Vegeta
put his fist to his chest boastfully.
" I'm sure you do. " Bulma said flatly, " But I need to check for any abnormalities. "
" Abnormalities?! There is nothing wrong with me, Bul-chan. " Vegeta said, slightly offended, " Why I bet you could
not even tell the difference between ROYAL SAIYAJIN BLOOD and common PEASANT blood. "
" There's a difference? " she said, intreged while focusing the microscope.
" Hai. Saiyajins of nobility have little blue dots that when focused up to 100% under a microscope can be visibly
seen in the blood while third-class citizens like Kakarrot have little orange dots instead. "
Bulma blinked, " Umm, Vegeta, I don't see any little blue dots. " she said, scratching her head.
" Of course they're there! " he pushed her out of the way, " It's GOT to be that your human eyes aren't keen enough
to spot them as we saiyajins are. " Vegeta peered into the microscope himself.
They waited there a good five minutes. Bulma glanced at her watch, " Vegeta, can I have my microscope BACK now? "
" I don't see them. " he said in utmost confusion, " Where are they? "
" Where are WHAT, Vegeta? " she groaned, becoming frustrated.
" My little blue dots! I don't see them ANYWHERE! " a slight pang of worry entered Vegeta's voice, " They--they've
got to be here SOMEWHERE! " he nervously tried adjusting the knobs on the microscope.
" I'm sure they're in there, V-kun, now let me have it back. " Bulma said, tired.
" NO! NOT UNTIL I SEE THEY'RE THERE!! " he snapped at her, " Ohhh, this is madness! I am the GREAT AND POWERFUL
SAIYAJIN NO OUJI! Yet-to-be-crowned COMPLETE RULER of Bejito-sei! How can the trademark insignia of my royal blood SUDDENLY
disappear like this! There should be MILLIONS of little blue dots bouncing around in there! "
" Move, I'll look for you. " Bulma said. The prince stepped aside as she peered down and re-adjusted the microscope
back to its normal power, " Hmm....OH! "
" OH? "
" I saw something! I saw something move--I can't believe it! You're right! " Bulma gasped, astonished, " This is
incredible, Vegeta. I've never seen anything LIKE IT! "
The ouji grinned with pride, " Thank you Bulma, I appreciate having SOMEONE on this planet that recognizes the worth
of having a saiyajin from the ruling empire of Bejito-sei inhabiting their planet. "
" Only--these aren't blue. "
Vegeta froze, " ...WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY AREN'T BLUE!!! "
" That's what I said, they aren't blue. " Bulma said casually, " Look. " he leaned against her and peered into the
microscope. A horrified look covered Vegeta's face. He screamed.
" AHHHH!! THIS CANNOT BE!!! IT ISN'T! I WON'T BELIEVE IT!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! IT'S--IT'S---orange. " he turned a
pale green, " Impossible... "
" So it's orange and not blue, big deal. It's certainly healthy, and that's the major concern. " Bulma patted him on
the back.
" NO! NO THAT'S _NOT_ THE MAJOR CONCERN!! " he whipped around and stared at her, " ORANGE DOTS BELONG IN PEASANTS
LIKE KAKARROT! NOT OUJI'S LIKE ME!!! " Vegeta cried out.
" Vegeta, have you ever seen your blood upclose like this BEFORE? " Bulma asked.
He thought back, " ...no. I haven't... " even more worry began to pour into his being, " I DISTINCTLY remember my
father telling me about it though. All those times back at the palace...and even on Freezer's ship whenever I got seriously
damaged or lost a fair amount of blood there was no real time to go and LOOK at it under some scientific device. Kaasan never
let me see it when they were examining it back home either... "
" Well that's oh-kay. There's nothing WRONG with-- "
" --DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!!! " Vegeta threw his arms in the air, " IT MEANS THAT IF MY BLOOD REALLY HAS THOSE
LITTLE ORANGE DOTS IN IT THEN....then I'm not really a prince at all... " his arms when limp. He swallowed hard, " That would
mean that I am no more royalty than Kakarrotto is. " he said quietly.
" Oh you're being foolish! You've been telling EVERYONE day in and day out that YOU are "the great and powerful
saiyajin no ouji" for SO MANY years now. It would be stupid to doubt that now. Don't you have any evidance of being royalty.
You know, didn't your parents ever make videotapes of you on your 1st birthday or take pictures of when you were born or
SOMETHING?! "
" We never used videocameras much on Bejito-sei. And as for pictures...I wouldn't know. I'm an only child. The only
people who could have possibly told me if my parents HAD taken such pictures would be Nappa and Raditsu, and they're both...
you know, dead. " Vegeta shrugged.
" Listen, just forget about it Vegeta. Go watch some TV or something. " Bulma suggested.
" FORGET ABOUT IT! _HOW_ CAN I JUST FORGET ABOUT! ONNA I'M A _PEASANT_!!! " he wailed, leaning against the side of
the wall. He put his hand on his forehead, " It all makes sense to me now. Why I cannot keep up with Kakarrotto's strength,
why I'm not as tall as the rest of my family--who for the most part are even TALLER than Kakarrot himself...I'm nothing more
than some lucky third-class saiyajin who SOMEHOW got himself adopted into the royal family. "
" Vegeta I think you're overeacting about all this-- "
" --I don't know how to BE a peasant, onna! " he grabbed her by the collar, worried, " I know HOW to be a prince, but
that's no use now that I'm NOT EVEN ONE TO BEGIN WITH!!! " nervous sweat began to pour down Vegeta's forehead, " What am I
going to do Bulma! Who am I going to turn to... " Vegeta paused, then instantly dropped her to the floor, " I'm going to
pack. "
" PACK?! PACK WHAT!! "
" You know, some bread--water, peasant things. " he said, going up the staircase, hunched over like he had a
stomachache, " I have somewhere I have to go. " Vegeta squeaked out in a small voice. A little cloud of gloom hanging over
him as he ascended the stairs.
Bulma sweatdropped, " Vegeta, where do you think you're GOING! "
" Somewhere where a lonely third-class saiyajin like myself will be accepted. " he said, his back to her as he made
it to the top of the staircase.
" ...and where would THAT be?? "
" *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*! " the door banged emotionlessly.
" Ugh! Goku could you get that! " Chi-Chi said from the kitchen, annoyed, " That monotonous knocking's drowing out
my cooking!! "
" Oh-kay Chi-chan! " Goku replied happily as he got up and walked to the door. The large saiyajin opened it to see
a small figure standing in the doorway with a brown sack over his shoulder and wearing a giant poorly made towel over his
shoulders and covering his body down to the knees. A little gloom cloud hung over his head, pouring rain onto him and soaking
his hair along with the rest of his outfit. Goku stared at him in confusion for a moment, then gasped when he realized who it
was, " LITTLE VEGGIE! " he cried, grabbing the ouji by the hands and pulling him inside. Goku slammed the door on the
small raincloud's face, " Oh Veggie what happened to you! " he lead him over to the couch and sat him down.
" 'Veggie'? " Chi-Chi said, entering the room with a soup spoon still inhand, " What's that evil little ouji doing
here--OH MY GOD!!! " she gawked at Vegeta, who looked like a wet, homeless bum in a towel.
" I'm not a ouji, Chi-Chi, so you can stop calling me that. " he said, dark rings under his eyes.
" What? " Chi-Chi looked him over, questioningly.
" Aww little Veggie, what happened to you? Did Bulma kick you out of the house? " Goku said, grabbing another nearby
towel and attempting to dry off Vegeta's soaked mane of hair.
" No, I left by myself. " he leaned his wet body back against the couch. In the backround Chi-Chi was busy flipping
out over all the mud and gunk Vegeta was spreading to her funiture, " You see, Kakarrot, I have an awful confession to make.
Something terrible has just brought me to grips with reality and it isn't very pretty. " Vegeta sniffled, " Kakarrotto, I am
a third-class saiyajin like you. "
" Just like ME? " a wide grin spread across Goku's face.
" Yes, just like YOU! " Vegeta sobbed into his already dirty hands, " When Bulma checked the blood in my container it
had the little orange dots and only PEASANTS have little orange dots and--and--and--I'M SO LOST KAKAY!! " he wailed. The
larger saiyajin gave him a hug.
" There there little Veggie. It'll be oh-kay little buddy 'o mine. " Goku said sympathetically, giving the ouji a
quick squeeze.
Chi-Chi just stood there watching them, replused, " You know Ouji-boy, you have pulled some bad ones in the past but
this is by FAR the LOWEST one I've EVER seen! "
" But, it's NOT a trick. " he sniffled.
" Chi-chan! " Goku gawked at her, " How could you suggest such a thing when Veggie's in such a state of shock and
confusion! " he patted Vegeta on the shoulder, " Don't you worry Veggie, you can stay here as long as you like until you're
all better, oh-kay? "
" NO HE CAN'T!!! " Chi-Chi yelled, " HE'S TRYING TO TRICK US AGAIN GOKU! LIKE HE TRICKED US EARLIER TODAY! IT'S PART
OF WHO HE IS! I COOK! YOU EAT! VEGETA TRICKS YOU! "
" I don't even deserve that name. " Vegeta said quietly, " Vegeta's a name for someone of saiyajin royalty...and I'm
a--a--a--A PEASAAAAAAAANT!!! " he started bawling again.
" It's really not that bad Veggie. " Goku interupted him.
" Don't call me Veggie either. " the ouji shook his head.
" Well, then, I'll just have to call you V-chan instead! " Goku said cheerfully, " That oh-kay with YOU, "V-chan"? "
" Uhh..yes. I think so. " Vegeta said uneasily. Goku got up from the couch.
" GREAT! Veggie's gonna be V-chan from now on; till he gets his confidence back anyways. " he said to Chi-Chi, then
broke into a huge grin, " Hey! Chi-chan and V-chan! Heehee; they RHYMNE! In't that CUTE! " Goku pinched one of the ouji's
cheeks. The ouji's face glowed bright red.
" Charming. " Chi-Chi said, sickened. She noticed Vegeta's face, " HA! HE'S RED! IT _IS_ A TRICK!!! "
" Veggie can't help THAT! " Goku exclaimed, then giggled, " He loves me! "
" GAH--I DO NOT!!! " Vegeta protested, glowing brighter.
" And what about that outfit of his! " Chi-Chi pointed to the large rag Vegeta was wearing, " Doesn't that look
suspicous! "
" It's my peasant-wear. I'm a peasant now so I have to dress like one. " Vegeta responded.
Chi-Chi groaned, " Vegeta, p-- "
" "V-chan". " Goku said, corrected her.
" --fine. V-chan, " Chi-Chi spat out, " Do you REALLY think us 'peasants' dress like that; all dirty with RAGS for
clothes! "
" That's how we peasants dressed back on Bejito-sei. "
" "we peasants", oh God I can't believe this. " Chi-Chi slapped herself on the forehead.
" Except Kakarrotto, he lived in the palace with my 'adoptive' family and I. He and his family were the only peasants
living there, that is, if you don't include MEEEEEE-WAHHHHHHHHH!!! "
" There he goes again. " Chi-Chi shook her head at the sobbing prince.
" Kakarrotto, Kakarrotto I need your he--help! " Vegeta sputtered, grabbing Goku's hands, " I need you to teach me,
I have NO IDEA how to be a third-class saiyajin like you, I--I'd DIE out there without the proper training! "
" Really? " Chi-Chi perked up, then recieved a short death-glare from Goku. She sweatdropped.
" I was taught everything I needed to know as prince in order for me to become king one day...but all that
information is USELESS to a common peasant. And that's why I need to learn how to be a peasant! " he got down on the floor,
still holding the larger saiyajin's hands, " PLEASE Kakarrot, I BEG of you; from one peasant to another, teach me how to be
like you--how to fish, how to hunt small woodland creatures for snacks, how to act like a total brainless fool, EVERYTHING
you do _I_ want to do TOO! GIMMIE THE WORKS! "
" ... " Goku stared down at him, wide-eyed.
" Ka--Kakarrot? " Vegeta blinked, awaiting an answer.
" YAAHHH!! " Goku squealed at the top of his lungs to the ouji's surprise. He tossed Vegeta into the air and caught
him under the arms, " Hahahahahahahahahaha! " the large saiyajin laughed ecstatically, spinning the ouji around the room,
then hugging him tightly, " OH LITTLE BUDDY I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! "
" You...are? " Vegeta's face glowed bright red.
" OH _YES_! I can't believe it Veggie! This is going to be so GREAT! " he dropped Vegeta to the ground. The prince
yelped as his butt hit the floor, " This is going to be the start of a WHOLE NEW LEVEL of buddy-bonding! " Goku clasped his
hands together, a little smile on his face. He turned to the ouji w/big sparkily eyes, " Oh Veh--err, V-chan, you're going to
love it! We're gonna have so much fun together! " he said, dashing up the stairs to his room, cheering, " VEGGIE TIME! WOOO-
-HOOOO!!! " Goku slammed the door behind him, leaving Chi-Chi and Vegeta alone in the living room.
" I haven't seen him this excited in a LONG while. " Chi-Chi said, staring up at the door to Goku's room, " ...I
don't like it. " she narrowed her eyes.
" ... "
" Aren't you ready with some "witty" retort? " Chi-Chi asked the ouji, suspicous.
" No, Onn--err, Chi-Chi, I have no ability to set claim over Kakarrotto while at peasant status. " he said sadly.
" ...waitaminute, back up. You're saying that since you're no longer the "great and powerful saiyajin no ouji", that
under the so-called "third-class saiyajin code of honor" you are BARRED from stealing, manupulating, and/or enslaving my
Goku? " she said with a grin.
" Correct. " Vegeta hung his head.
" WOOOO-HOOOO! THIS REALLY _IS_ "Veggie time"! " Chi-Chi threw her arms in the air, then quickly returned to her calm
state, " In at case, "V-chan", it will be a real PLEASURE to have you aboard the boat to "peasant-land" with us for a SHORT
while. " she smirked, shaking his hand, " Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a hog to roast. " Chi-Chi said, leaving the room,
" "Hog to roast", heh-heh, I love it. "
" I LOVE IT! " Goku said happily as he sat on the floor of his room, holding out one of his old gi's which he had
just cut chunks off the sleeves and pantlegs to make it shorter, " V-chan's going to be so happy! " he layed the cropped gi
on the floor beside the parts he had cut off. Goku took the measuring tape off from around his shoulder and measured the
short gi, " There, it's PERFECT! All nice and Veggie-sized. " he poked his head out of the doorway, " Oh little buddy! " he
said in a sing-song voice, " Come up here, I have something VERY NICE for you. "
" Thank you, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said, still slightly depressed as he climbed the stairs, " It's good to have such
a wonderful future servant-maid to the throne on the same planet as I---did it again. " he cringed, recalling his present
standing in the two-person saiyajin society, " Focus, Vegeta, focus. You're NOT a prince anymore, you're a peasant. But,
but that's oh-kay. " he said, trying to give himself a pep-talk on his way to Goku's room, " I mean, Kakarrot's a peasant,
and he's perfectly happy. So there's nothing for me to worry about. It's not like not being the saiyajin no ouji is going to
completely erase my identi-- " Vegeta froze in the doorway to Goku's room to see the large saiyajin holding up a ouji-sized
orange gi, " --ty. " he squeaked out.
" Isn't it CUTE, V-chan. I didn't have any little enough to fit someone as little as you so I just cut down one of my
own! " Goku said, proud of his work.
Vegeta's face went pale, " Could you excuse me more a moment. " he closed the door.
" Well....oh-kay. " Goku scratched his head, then watched the door.
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH--*gasp*--HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! " a
horrifed scream rang from outside. Vegeta re-opened the door and entered, looking over-stressed and very frazzled.
" Gosh V-chan, you look kinda pale. " Goku said, conserned.
" Uh-huh.... " Vegeta trailed off.
" Here, now you just go put this on and come back in here so I can see how you look! " he said cheerfully has he
dropped the gi into the ouji's hands, " That is, unless you need a little help getting it on. "
" ARE YOU INSINUATING THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CLOTHE MYSELF IN ONE OF YOUR BAKAYARO KAKA-COSTUMES!!! " Vegeta
snorted.
" Aww, no Veggie, I'd NEVER do that. " Goku said, slightly hurt.
" Well, I don't need your help. The GREAT AND POWERFUL--umm, SAIYAJIN NO PEASANT is MORE THAN intellegent enough to
know how to put these articles of Kako-ness on my body. "
" How does he put this stuff on ANYWAY! " Vegeta said, bewildered as he stood in the bathroom in his underwear,
holding the pants to the gi in his hand. The top was draped over the toilet lid, " I guess its just like a regular pair of
pants...right? " he said, putting the orange pants on. He smiled, " There, that wasn't so hard, was it? "
" Goku is that you in there--EEK! " Chi-Chi shrieked, " YOU'RE WEARING HIS PANTS!!! " she pointed to Vegeta.
" Kakarrot HAPPENED to lend them to me, he altered them specifically for my size. " Vegeta smirked.
" I don't CARE! Get those off right now! You're ruining them with your nasty ouji-stench! " Chi-Chi stomped.
" What ouji-stench. " Vegeta snickered, " I'm not a ouji. "
" ... " Chi-Chi bit her lip, searching for something else to yell at him about, " Well...then...carry on. " she
groaned in defeat, leaving the bathroom, " BUT HURRY UP! I NEED TO GET IN THERE! " she snapped before completely disappearing
back down the hall.
" Goku, I don't like it. " Chi-Chi said, narrowing her eyes at the open doorway to the large saiyajin's room. He was
standing next to her.
" Don't like what? "
" I don't like how you're dressing that ouji up like you. It's not right. " she said, ready to attack Vegeta as soon
as he entered the room.
" First of all, V-chan is no longer a ouji. And second, there's nothing not right about it. V-chan wants me to teach
him everything I know, so I've got to get him into costume, right? " Goku pointed out.
" Well, I guess I COULD be overeacting... " Chi-Chi trailed off, " But Goku, you've never FORMALLY TRAINED anybody
in martial arts or anything else for that matter! "
" I haven't? " he blinked, confused.
" OF COURSE YOU HAVEN'T!! " she exclaimed, " Piccolo taught Gohan; for the most part, and _I_ taught Goten! You
weren't around EITHER TIME! And just the idea of you trying to teach the ex-ouji over there all this stuff...not only is it
impossible but it's DANGEROUS! Do you know what would happen if he suddenly got his ego back and decided to fight against you
again! You'd have no defense! He would know EVERY SINGLE THING you would be about to DO! "
" But he's my little buddy. " Goku said.
" Yes, but he's not your FRIEND. Just because Vegeta has discovered he's no longer a real prince and wants to seek
training from you DOES NOT mean he's instantly going to turn around and be as cheerful, mindless, and carefree as the one in
your head is! " Chi-Chi sighed heavily.
" *knock* *knock* "
" There he is now. " Chi-Chi stepped aside from the door, " You get it. "
Goku opened the door to see Vegeta standing there in the little gi, grinning, " So? Are we ready to go or what? "

5:31 PM 6/2/2002
END OF PART ONE
Piccolo: (wide-eyed) Wow...Son's trying to turn Vegeta into a brainless-fish-loving idiot like he is. (grins) The guy's an
evil genius and he doesn't even know it. [glances at Chu, who's happily browsing through something on her computer] Say,
what are you doing?
Chuquita: Remember what I said last fic about wanting to find some humor doujinshi?
Piccolo: Yeah?
Chuquita: Well I found it....still don't have any though.
Piccolo: (confused) Huh?
Chuquita: I went to eBay for the first time a couple days ago and I found some pretty funny dbz doujinshis so I saved the
images to my folder. There's one called Lunatic Fist where Veggie gets sprayed with some of Bulma's perfume and starts seeing
hallutionations of Freezer and Ginyu and stuff; but what he's really looking at is anything from a mailbox to a streetlight.
He ends up blasting the whole town in defense. At the end Bulma blames Veggie for it all in the firstplace.
Kayka: Poor Veggie.
Chuquita: Then there's another one I didn't get the name of, but I saved the image anyway. It's got everyone on a farm and
(get this) Veggie's dressed up in blue overalls, a white t-shirt, and sneakers. He's sitting in the corner of the picture
stuffing his face with apples from a bucket.
Kayka: Like back in "Meadow Muffins"!
Chuquita: Yeah, I thought it was some kind of freaky coinciedence myself. Then there's one that I just thought was funny
cuz it's got Veggie in his pink shirt trying to choke you because you were gone so long (this is right after Mirai's first
appearance) and he can't reach you cuz he's so short. The last one, (which I'm using for my desktop image right now) is
called Lovely Nurse. Everyone's drawn all cute & chibi-fied (one of my favorite artstyles), but the funniest part was the
fact that it has Goku here playing a doctor and Veggie's his nurse. Hence the title. They're trying to give Marron her
medicine and she starts crying and Juuhachigou gets mad and throws two big boulders at them. The best part was seeing Veggie
in that nurse gettup with the little shoes and everything. No little hat though.
Vegeta: (to Chu) (glaring at her) You enjoy seeing my humiliation, don't you?
Chuquita: (grins) Yes I do. (to audiance) If anyone wants to see the picture for (snickers) Lovely Nurse; it's going to be
on eBay till the 9th. I missed getting the picture for Lunatic Fist intime for me to save it to my computer. (pouts)
Piccolo: Somehow I can't see Son as a doctor. (to Veggie) Can you imagine being on the operating table for a major transplant
or something and they call the head doctor in and it end up being him!
Vegeta: (a pale white) I would die before Kakarrot even got his hands on my inner organs.
Kayka: (hugs Veggie) Aww, don't worry little Veggie, I would do my best to take care of you.
Vegeta: (bright red) I don't care what Chu says, this saiyajin girl CAN'T be Kakarrotto!
Kayka: (blinks) I...can't? Veggie?
Vegeta: (still glowing) (shaking his head) NO! You can't! There's no way! (in denial)
Kayka: (smirks) Well, Veggie if you knew for a fact that I WAS Kakarrot, in girl form, what would be the first thing you'd
say to me!
Vegeta: Let's have children.
Kayka: (taken aback) WHAT?!?
[Chu & Pic sweatdrop]
Kayka: (sweatdrops also) Oh-kay, now I'm kinda scared.
Vegeta: It doesn't matter. You're not a female Kakarrot anyway.
Kayka: YES I AM!!! (pouts) What can I do to convince you! (idea-time!) HA! [snaps her fingers] Little Veggie watch me!
Vegeta: Hmm?
Kayka: (goes SSJ1, then SSJ2, then SSJ3) (cheering) TA-DA!
Vegeta: [jaw drops to the floor]
Kayka: There, don't we feel silly now!
Vegeta: (slaps his hands over his mouth to prevent himself from saying anything) (whimpers nervously)
Kayka: (powers down) Aww, what'sa matter little buddy? You look awful frightened. [leans towards him]
Vegeta: [leans back away from her] (glowing again)
Chuquita: (to Veggie) I see we're having some sort of mental conflict going on here, eh?
Vegeta: (glares at her) You have no idea.
Kayka: (to Pic) Little Veggie looks like he's going into contortions or something.
Piccolo: (snickers) He does, doesn't he?
Kayka: (big dopey grin) So little Veggie? Did you REALLY mean it when you said you wanna have babies?
Vegeta: MANY! (yelps and slaps his mouth shut again)
Kayka: (dumbfounded) Many? (to Chu) I don't think I'd wanna make any Veggie-babies, Chu-sama.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) You won't have to. You're not GOING to.
Kayka: (wipes the sweat off her forehead) *whew*! Good. (perks up) Besides, we already have Ji-chan and Goggie and they're
such nice little boys.
Piccolo: LITTLE, she says...
Vegeta: (glares at Kayka) VEJITTO AND GOGETA ARE NOT OUR CHILDREN YOU KNUCKLEHEAD!! THEY'RE FUSIONS GONE WRONG AND THAT
SHOULD NEVER HAVE EXISTED IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
Chuquita: He's in denial.
Kayka: I guess that's why he wants to do it the natural way, huh.
Vegeta: (at the top of his lungs) SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!!!
Kayka: [zips her lips shut]
Chuquita: (blinks at the sight of the zipper) How'd you do that?
Kayka: (shrugs)
Chuquita: (to audiance) See you in Part 2 everybody.
Kayka: (happily) Mmmph muh mmph mmp mmfa mmfa!
Chuquita: My words exactly.
