Vegeta was not in a good mood. It was one thing that the Woman was forcing him to be his freaking guinea pig in one of her wacky experiments, but it was another thing that she wouldn't even tell him or Kakkarot what it was. He growled and sulked like some kind of spoiled kid as the Woman led him and Carrot-Brain to her oh-so-special secret lab.

He tuned out Kakkarot's incoherent babbling about food and being hungry as he thought about just how in Kami's name he got into this mess in the first place. Oh yeah. That's right. The Woman had threatened to not feed him for a week. Darn baka.

"…And that's why I have never eaten fried chicken in the presence of evergreen trees in years," Goku finished happily. The Saiyan smiled as he realized that they were at Bulma's lab. The blue-haired woman seemed to have not been listening to his story as she unlocked the door with a swipe of her finger.

"Woah! That's soo cool! Can I try?" Goku breathed in awe.

"Oh, sorry, but the whole point is that only my fingerprint can unlock it"

Looking over, the disappointed Saiyan saw Vegeta roll his eyes. Goku looked up, but didn't see anything.

The strange trio entered the lab, one in awe (Goku), one smiling happily, if somewhat wickedly, about what lay in store for the two Saiyans (Bulma), and one looking like he wanted to rip the throats out of his companions (I think we all know who). It was a small, dim room, with no windows and a giant machine smack dab in the center, leaving almost no room on the sides. The contraption was silver, with blue veins running through it. Box-like, it had two pods that looked like they were supposed to hold people. All in all, it appeared to be a dentist's-office-spaceship-teleportation-sci-fi-robot-thingy.

Bulma flipped on the lights, closed and locked the door, and turned to face them. The blue haired girl was in her element. From here on out, she was in charge. She had on a sly smile, and Vegeta could tell the Baka was up to something. Goku just looked around, wondering how the giant machine fit through the tiny doorway.

"Okay boys, now I'm going to ask of you to please step into these pods." As the girl spoke, the two sleek, long glass doors of the human-holders sprang up with a mechanical hiss. Goku happily trod over. Bulma had promised him pasta! He happily stepped onto the machine and into the pod on the left. Laying down, he smiled his Son Grin™.

"Hey Bulma! What exactly is this going to do? Fiddling with something in her lab coat pocket, Bulma gave a jumbled answer that sounded something on the lines of tell you in a minute. He smiled and laid back his head. He trusted Bulma, ever since he first met her. He giggled as he remembered trying to find the dragon balls with her. And then he laughed as he remembered the red ribbon army, but stopped abruptly when the red ribbon army made him think of Dr. Gero, which made him remember Cell. He hated that overgrown grasshopper. Oh well, at least he could beat the android without trying now! Reassured, the Saiyan smiled and started thinking about spaghetti and meatballs.

Vegeta stood, leaning against the wall of the room. His long, spiky hair cast a flame-like shadow, reminding the Woman he was there. As she turned to face him expectantly, nodding towards the right pod, he grimly imagined final flashing her, Kakkarot, the lab, and this whole ridiculous plan into oblivion. But even he wasn't that stupid. Bulma raised her eyebrows and gestured to the other side of the machine again. Vegeta didn't move. The scientist narrowed her eyes and stalked over to the Saiyan Prince, and hissed menacingly to the unnerved man. "No food. Starvation. Weakening. Never beat Kakkarot."

Vegeta quickly sprang forward, a slightly frightened expression on his face. "Point taken," he mumbled. Bulma smirked smugly. Worked every time.

As soon as the pod doors had closed on the two Saiyans, Vegeta realized something. Bulma never told them what would happen. The machine started rumbling. He tried to sit up, but some force like artificial gravity kept is head firmly resting on the blue flowered headrest. What an odd pattern, Vegeta thought irritably. Just then Bulma's voice radiated through a small speaker next to his right ear.

*Okay, now the process will begin. I'm not sure if it is permanent or not, hehe! I guess there's only one way to find out! No matter what you do, DO NOT lift your heads! The electron waves could flash terribly out of sync, and transport your minds to the closest magical dimension. Here goes!*

She must have flipped a lever or something, because the machine hummed louder and lights and dots passed in front of his eyes.

*Oh my gosh! I forgot! What's going to happen is that you two are going to switch minds!*

"WHAAAAAAAAAT!?" yelled Goku and Vegeta loud enough for Bulma to hear them outside of the machine. And that was saying something, considering the glass was 100% soundproof.

Oh god no! I did NOT sign up for this! DISGUSTING!

CHI-CHI'S GONNA KIIIIIIILL MEEEEEEEEEEE!

Both Saiyans tried to sit up and punch their way out of the glass pods, ignoring Bulma's frantic screamed warnings. Just then, both of their visions went black, and they slumped back unconscious.

ELSEWHERE

The air was streaming past her, the wind shrieking from sheer friction. Tears formed in her eyes and her lips were pulled back from pure speed. Fluttering madly behind her, her tail and mane combined to form a single stream of rainbow. She felt the air flattening around her hooves, levelling into a cone shape.

Yes! This is it! I'm almost there!

"YEEEAAAAAAAAH! GO RAINBOW DAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!"

The sudden outburst broke Dashie's concentration, and she snapped her neck to the side to look at where the noise cane from. This caused a flurry of tumbling to ensue, and in moments she had her head planted in a cloud… right at Pinkie Pie's jumping, happy, feet. "Whoa, that was AWESOME Dashie! But why'd you stop? Huh? You almost had the rainboom again!"

Popping her head out of the cloud, Rainbow Dash glared heatedly at the pink pony. "Oh my GOD, Pinkie! I WOULD'VE, but you have to go and BREAK MY CONCENTRATION AGAIN!"

The innocent, smiling pony continued jumping. "Whoopsie! Sorry Dash! Hehe, but it was kinda funny to see you faceplant into the cloud! Haha, you were all boooosh! Nyeeeeeeaaaoow…. BANG!

The blue Pegasus facehoofed as Pinkie imitated her. It was impossible to stay mad at that weirdo.

Then suddenly darkness fell over the eyes of the two ponies, and a searing pain ripped through their brains. They fell to the Earth like stones, unconscious. But it was strange, like they could see themselves falling, like they were detached…
