" WAAUGH!! " Vegeta cried as he fell to the ground, then opened his eyes to see a big
goofy grin staring him in the face.
" You okay little buddy? " Goku said, " Did I hitcha too hard? "
" NO Kakorot, you did NOT hit me too hard. " he growled as he got to his feet, then
wobbled backward & fell back down again.
" Ahw, lemmie help you up. " he offered, putting his hand towards him.
Vegeta slapped Goku's hand away, " I DON'T WANT ANY HELP FROM A BAKAYARO LIKE YOU! " he
lept to his feet, then backed up & flew at Goku, who went SSJ3 & held his hands out to stop
Vegeta, who grabbed them & tried to push Goku back, who was now trying to push Vegeta in the
opposite direction.
" You, should powerup, you could get hurt. " Goku said, conserned, which just caused
Vegeta to force him back even harder.
" SHUT UP KAKOROT!!! " Vegeta yelled angrily, putting all his strength into propelling
Goku across the lawn, and not getting very far with it.
" You CAN'T win this way! "
" YES I CAN! "
" Perfect! " a voice came from behind them. The two sayiajins turned their heads to
see a tall skinny man wearing a pair of oval-shaped sunglasses that made it impossible to see
his eyes. He had on a maroon berét and a slick look on his face to match his greasy hair.
Behind him sat an unbelievable long white limousine. He adjusted his deep-red jacket, a cigerette
in his mouth.
" Youse two're perfect! " he smirked, walking up to them, " Yous outta be in pictures,
in fact, you are, gonna be, dat is-- " he said, taking a rolled up piece of paper out of his
pocket, " --if ya sign a few tings here fur me. "
" WHO THE HECK ARE YOU!!! " Vegeta screamed, then facefaulted, noticing the man was
no longer paying attention to him but rubbing Goku's SSJ hair between his fingers.
" Boy, did anyone eva tell you you got da face of a villain? " he said as Goku powered
down.
" Uh, no, not really. " Goku said uneasily. The man looked at Goku in shock.
" WHOA! Howdja do dat one? " he gasped at Goku's transformation.
" Well, I do it all the time. " Goku said, confused.
" BRILLIANT! YOU GOT YER OWN SPECIAL EFFECTS! It'll save me BILLIONS on da feature! "
" BAKA! GET OFF MY LAWN!!! " Vegeta yelled.
" And YOU! " he said, grinning from ear to ear as he walked up to Vegeta, " Let me guess,
YOU must be da daring hero, engaged in combat to dis monsta! "
Vegeta & Goku looked at each other, dumbfounded.
" I just saw youse two fighten and I said to myself, McSleazy, you gotta get over dere,
you're gonna make dose two stars! "
Goku scratched his head, " Stars? "
" Yeah! MOVIE stars! "
" Movie sta--..." Vegeta mumbled, " I KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU PEOPLE & YOUR STUPID "MOVIES"!
I WILL NOT TAKE PART IN ANY BAKA FILM! I AM THE SAIYAJIN NO OUJI, NOT SOME TOY! YOU AND YOUR
"MOVIES" ARE JUST A BUNCH OF IDIOTS PLAYING PRETEND! AND I _DON'T_ PLAY! " he exclaimed.
" Beautiful! " the man clapped, Vegeta looked around, bewildered, " You don't know what
kinda oppertunity you'd be turnin down here mista. " he smiled, " I mean, you & da big guy, you
were BORN to FIGHT EACH OTHER TO DA DEATH! KnowhatImean! "
" Well, I wouldn't say "to the death", but we do spar sometimes and-- " Goku started,
but got cut off by the man.
" Here! " he said, handing Vegeta a small card, " If ya decide to change yer mind, just
have your people call my people. "
" Whatever. " Vegeta rolled his eyes, putting the card in his front pocket.
" Don't worry, I'm sure ya will. " he snickered, then opened the backdoor to the limo,
& climbed in, " ALRIGHT ALFONZO! LET'S GET OUTTA HERE! " he called as the limo backed up, then
speed off.
Goku looked down at Vegeta, " Who WAS that? "
Vegeta grumbled, " Who cares. "
" I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! " Bulma exclaimed as she stared at the television.
" What? " Yamcha asked.
" The famous director Belmont McSleazy is coming to OUR town looking for new faces for
his latest movie! "
" Don't you think you're a little old to be in a movie? " Yamcha said, then soon
regretted it as a frying-pan came down upon his head, " I thought Chi-Chi was the only one with
one of those! "
" She is, " Bulma answered, " She forgot it & left it here by mistake. "
" Ohhhh, " Yamcha groaned as he rubbed his head, " No wonder Goku's so afraid of her. "
" Hello Onna. " Vegeta mumbled as he walked in through the backdoor, then noticed Yamcha,
" Hello fool. "
" HEY! " Yamcha said defensively, putting his hands on the table.
" HI BULMA! HI YAMCHA! " Goku said happily, skipping in after Vegeta.
" Hi Goku. " Bulma said.
" Good to see ya again man. " Yamcha said, shaking Goku's hand, " Where were you? "
" We were sparing & this weird guy came up to us and wanted us to be in a movie or
something and Vegeta said no and that movies were stupid but the guy gave him a little card
thingy anyway and told him to call him if he changed his mind but I don't think he will. " Goku
said in one breath.
" Oh? " Yamcha said.
" Movie? " Bulma said, then noticed the card in Vegeta's pocket & grabbed it, " What
do you mean "movie"? " she asked, then read the little card & gasped.
" Va, Vegeta, where did you GET this!? " she said in shock.
" Some baka in a limo wants me to be in his blasted "movie". " he said, shrugging.
" AND YOU SAID "NO"!!! " she said, stunned.
" Of course I said no Onna. Do you know what those movie people are?! They're nothing
more than toys! Just like B-chan's dolls and her stuffed animals! " he growled.
" I can't believe you said NO to one of the biggest directors around. " Bulma said.
" I can. " Yamcha raised his hand.
" Oh Vegeta, sometimes you just--I don't know. " Bulma sighed in dismay, then flipped
over the card to see a number written on the back of it, " A PHONE NUMBER! HE WROTE HIS PHONE
NUMBER ON THE BACK OF IT! " she squealed, then picked up the phone, " If YOU don't want to be
in his movie Vegeta, I'll be glad to. " she stuck out her tongue.
" Like I care Onna. " he rolled his eyes, then walked towards the front door, " I'm
going to the gravity room to train. " Vegeta said, reaching for the doorknob as Bulma punched
in the digits on the phone.
" AHH! It's ringing! " she smiled.
" La-de-freakin-da. " Vegeta said sarcastically, then grabbed the doorknob, which, to
his surprise, turned on its own. He stared at it for a moment, then felt himself slam against the
wall as the door opened from the other way, smushing him between the door & the wall.
" You called? " McSleazy said as he stood in the doorway.
" OHMYGOD! " Bulma shouted, zipping over to him, " Oh Mr. McSleazy I'm so sorry for
my husband's behaivor earlier I-- "
" Call me B.M. Everybody does. " he smirked.
" Oh, B.M. Well, my husband didn't mean to offend you and-- "
" --I did too! " Vegeta said, muffled.
" SHUT UP VEGETA! " Bulma retorted, then smiled at McSleazy.
" Ohhhh.. " Vegeta rubbed his head.
" Whatcha doin behind the door Toussan? " Bura giggled, staring at Vegeta, who slid out
from between the door & wall, " Did you lose something? "
" You mean besides some of whatever little pride I have left B-chan? " he said, sighing.
" Ahh, there you are! " McSleazy said as Vegeta got up.
" GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! " Vegeta yelled at him.
" So, dis is the famous Capsule Corp eh? " McSleazy said, walking around, then glanced
at Bulma, " And you must be-- "
" Bulma Briefs. " she answered, shaking his hand.
" Bulma huh? " he said, " Did anyone tell you you'd make a perfect female lead? "
" Oh, MANY people. But, I was to MODEST to go into the movies. I actually got quite
a few offers from ALL the BIG producers, but I told them that if they wanted me they'd have to
BEG. " she boasted.
" When did THAT happen? " Yamcha whispered to Goku, who shrugged.
" I don't remember Bulma ever getting any Hollywood offers before. " Goku said,
scratching his head as Bulma sweatdropped.
" WILL YOU BE QUIET! " she said through her teeth as Yamcha & Goku nodded in unison.
" Of course I could get you a BIG part in my new movie Ms. Briefs, if, your husband & his
friend dere would sign a few things fur me. " McSleazy said, looking at Goku, & then at Vegeta.
" I guess it WOULD be kinda fun to be in a movie. " Goku said, going off into a
daydream....
:::"Oh no!" one of the many citizens gathered around the river shouted, " There are too
many fish in the river! They're clogging up the resevior! "
" We'll all die of thirst! " another cried.
" DON'T WORRY GOOD CITIZENS! " a heroic voice cried from behind.
" HOORAY! " a third citizen said, " IT'S SON GOKU! "
" He's here to save us! " the first said.
" Correct! " Goku smiled, a sparkle in his teeth as he lept into the river & began to
eat the mass quantities of fish stuffed in the river.
" HE DID IT! " the second said, " SON GOKU HAS SAVED US FROM THE FISH! "
" THE RIVER IS FLOWING AGAIN! "
" *BUUUUUURRP* All in a days work my friends, remember, if those fish bother you again,
feel free to call me! " he grinned.
" Oh THANK YOU! " they all shouted at once, a whole fish now appearing in each of the
citizens hands, " Take these as a reward! "
" Why, thank YOU! " Goku said, drool trickling out of the side of his mouth as he eyed
up all the fish, then began to stuff his face, " I LOVE being a Super Hero. ":::
" ...yeah. " Goku said in a daze, " I'LL DO IT! " he said to McSleazy.
" Now, " McSleazy said, pulling a piece of paper curled up with a rubberband around it
out of his backpocket, " Ms. Briefs, if your husband here will sign this for me, we can get
started. "
" I'm not signing any baka paper. " Vegeta crossed his arms, " I DON'T act and I DON'T
sign any stupid documents. "
" Oh Mr. Briefs, it's not just any stupid document. " McSleazy said, walking up to
Vegeta," It's a contract, it basically says that you belong to me & my company--err I mean,
to make sure you don't decide to change your mind while we're making the movie. "
" I don't like you, you remind me of Freezer. " he said, suspicous.
" He doesn't look like Freezer. " Bura said, confused.
" And who do we have 'ere. " McSleazy said, bending down to Bura's height, " Wat's your
name little gurl? "
Vegeta grabbed Bura & held her tightly, " THIS is my little B-chan. " he narrowed his
eyes, then looked down at Bura, " Don't turn your back on this bakayaro for a minute, I don't
trust him. "
" Who is he Toussan? " Bura asked.
" Do you like movies little gurl? " McSleazy smiled at Bura.
" Mmm-hmm! " Bura nodded.
" Well what would yous say if I told you I offered your Papa the chance to STAR in my
movie? " he said as Bura's eyes widened.
" Toussan--in a movie! " Bura said breathlessly, " WOW!!! I NEVER KNEW TOUSSAN COULD
ACT! " she gasped.
" It's a shame though, " McSleazy said sadly, " Your "Toussan" decided to turn me down.
Now NOBODY's going to be in the movie. "
Bura's face saddened.
" And I was going to let you have a part too little girl. Would you like that? To be in
a movie. Impress all your friends. " he said persasively, " Do you have a little boyfriend? "
" Uh-- " Bura said, glancing at Goten, who was sitting in the corner chewing a large
wad of bubblegum, " --kinda. " she blushed.
" Wouldn't you like it if "Toussan" decided to agree. " he said, " I'm going to give him
one more chance. I can just leave all of you & go find a cast somewhere else ya know. "
Vegeta looked around to see Bulma, Goku, & the others staring at him pleadingly. He
looked downwards, avoiding eyecontact, only to come face to face with Bura.
" PWEASE Toussan? " Bura's eyes began to water.
" Uh--I... " Vegeta took a deep breath, " Okay. " he said in defeat, " I'll act in your
stupid movie. " he sighed as expressions of relief & thankfulness filled the faces of everyone
else in the room.
" PERFECT! " McSleazy snapped his fingers, then grabbed Vegeta & sat him down on one of
the chairs in the kitchen, " Now, if you'll just sign a couple things. " he said, spreading the
long piece of paper on the table & handing Vegeta a pen.
" What IS all this? " Vegeta said, baffled.
" I toldja, itsa contract. " he answered as Vegeta picked it up.
" Why are the words so BLASTED TINY! " he growled, trying to make out what it said.
McSleazy laughed nervously, then grabbed the paper & set it back down.
" Oh you don't need to worry about that Mr. Briefs, just sign it, you'll have plenty of
time to read it later. " McSleazy said.
Vegeta looked up to see Goku, Bulma, & Bura nodding at him with big grins on their face.
He looked back at the paper, gulped, & put the pen on the contract & slowly began to sign it.
" Good boy! You don't know what youd've been missin! " McSleazy patted Vegeta on the
back, then grabbed the paper & stuffed it back in his pocket.
Vegeta looked at him uneasily, " Uh-huh. "
" ..And _I_'m going to be one of the leads, yeah, can you believe it? " Bulma said on the
phone, she had taken the liberty of calling everyone she had ever known to boast about her new
status as a "movie star". This had gone on for about 3 hours, and she still hadn't gotten
through the "B" section of her unusually large address book which sat next to her on the couch.
Bura was busy trying for the umpteenth time to explain the movies to Goten, who still
seemed slighty confused about the whole thing.
Goku was busy trying to figure out what his Super Hero costume would look like, Yamcha
sat there slightly supsicous about the whole scenero and Vegeta was up in room laying on the
bed, confused.
" TA-DA! " Goku shouted, opening the door to the bedroom & leaping out in a fish-costume.
Yamcha raised an eyebrow at him.
" Who are you supposed to be? "
" THE SAIYAN SAMMON! You know, sammon, like the fish. " he grinned, " I SHALL SEEK OUT
INJUSTICE AND, in this nifty camoflage, EASILY DEFEAT MY FISHY FOES!! "
" Uh, Goku, since when do fish commit crimes? " Yamcha said.
" Well, I, I dunno, I just liked the costume. "
" ... "
" I can communicate w/ fish ya know. "
" Isn't that one of Aquaman's powers? "
" Well yeah, but, think how cool it would be to talk to your dinner before you eat it! "
" I...guess. " Yamcha scratched his head, " If you like fish. "
Bura groaned as she walked up the stairs, having given up getting anything through
Goten's thick skull about the movie business.
" Toussan? " she said, opening the door to Vegeta's room, " Hi Toussan! " Bura chirped,
hopping onto the bed next to him, " Whatcha doin? "
" ... " Vegeta sat up & looked her straight in the eyes, " B-chan, do you think what I
did, signing that thing, was right? "
" Course I do Toussan! We're all gonna be FAMOUS! " Bura smiled back, " Why? "
" Because I don't even know what I signed, and that baka reminds me too much of
Freezer. "
" Does Freezer scare you Toussan? "
" He killed me B-chan. "
" ...oh. " Bura blinked, then grinned, " Don't worry Toussan, this guy isn't like
Freezer, not at all. He's a dictator. "
" You mean director. "
" Same thing. " Bura said, not understanding.
" You know B-chan, you're probably right. " Vegeta answered.
" ..anyways, that guy said we're supposed to meet him outside tommorow, we're all going
to HOLLYWOOD! " Bura exclaimed.
" Oh, okay. " Vegeta said, " B-chan? "
" Yes? "
" What's a "hollywood"? "
" WAHH!! " Bura fell down animé style, " YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HOLLYWOOD IS!? "
" No. "
Bura sighed, " This is gonna be a long day. "
The Next Morning:
" I'M READY! " Bulma shouted trumphently, Yamcha carrying hundreds of her bags &
suitcases behind her, " STARDOM HERE I COME! "
" Why do I have to carry you stuff! I'm not even your husband! " Yamcha whined.
" Oh shut up! Hey..where IS Vegeta? " she said, looking around.
" Hi Bulma! " Goku said happily, Goten riding on his shoulders and Bura standing next
to him with a little pink backpack in her hand.
" Goku, have you seen Vegeta? " Bulma asked.
" Good question! " he said, putting Goten down, " Let's find out! " Goku grinned, putting
his fingers on his forehead, " Instantanious movement time! " he rubbed Goten on the head, then
disappeared & reappeared in Vegeta's room.
Vegeta sat on the bed, in what could be either a deep meditation, or the result of him
falling asleep while sitting up.
Goku leaned towards the shorter saiyajin's ear, took a deep breath & screamed, " HI
LITTLE BUDDY!!!! "
" AHHH!!! " Vegeta screamed in fright, then put his hands on his ears & rubbed them in
pain, " KAKOROT! DON'T DO THAT!!! "
" K! " Goku said innocently, looking over his shoulder, " So, ya ready to go! "
" No Kakorot, I'm not. I just want to tell you that I'm only doing this for B-chan and
Onna-- "
" And ME? " Goku said in a mocking, sing-song voice.
" No. " he answered, irritated, " I want to get this blasted thing done & overwith as
soon as possible. "
" Oh come on Vegeta, how long do you actually think movies take to make? " Goku said
skeptically.
" About 2 hours. " Vegeta shrugged as Goku slapped himself on the forehead.
" VEGETA! MOVIES TAKE MONTHS TO COMPLETE! SOMETIMES EVEN A YEAR! Even _I_ know that, and
I don't even live in the city. " Goku said as Vegeta's face paled.
" A YEAR!? " he gulped, then shook it off, " As long as it doesn't interfere with my
training. "
Goku giggled, then burst into laughter, a nervous look overtook Vegeta's face again.
" WHAT'S SO BLASTED FUNNY! "
" Aww lil buddy, hee-hee, it takes a lot of work to shook even one scene. We'll be in
Hollywood for months, you can't just zip back & forth between here & there, it'll take too long."
" But, but my gravity room! "
" You can't bring it with you. How'll we fit it on the plane? Or even in the limo. "
" Ohhhhhh, I'LL FIND A WAY!!! " he yelled, then stomped out of the room and outside to
the front lawn; across the street Bulma, Yamcha, Bura, Goten, & McSleazy's limo sat. Vegeta
ignored them, walked over to the gravity chamber & attempted to pick it up. Goku skipped out of
the house shortly after to see Vegeta struggling with the room.
" Vegeta, what are you doing? " Goku asked.
" I'm...picking...up...my...gravity...room...to...take...with...me! " Vegeta grunted.
Goku looked down at him sadly, then got & idea & snapped his fingers. He picked up Vegeta
and set him down on the lawn, then rubbed his hands together, put his hands on the chamber, &
easily hoisted it up overtop of his head, " Like this? "
Vegeta looked at Goku in shock, then growled, " PUT THAT THING DOWN BAKA!!! " he yelled,
walking over to Goku.
" Oh-kay! " Goku grinned, then dropped the chamber, which fell down upon Vegeta's foot,
causing him to cry out in pain. Goku grabbed him & pulled his foot out, " Sorry little buddy. "
" I AM NOT YOUR "LITTLE BUDDY"!! " Vegeta hissed, then walked across the street to the
others," Okay, let's get leave. " he grumbled, reaching for the handle, then felt a smack &
glanced up to see McSleazy.
" WHAT WAS THAT FOR!!! " Vegeta yelled.
" Now now Mr. Briefs. You don't have to worry about doing anything. Alfonzo opens the
doors on the limo, its part of his job. " McSleazy smirked as the tall driver got out of the limo
& opened the doors.
" Whoa. " Yamcha mumbled.
" THIS IS SO EXCITING! " Bulma squealed as she hopped inside, followed by Yamcha, Bura &
Goten.
" Ooooooh. " Goku said, peeking inside, " WOW! I've never been in a limo before! " he
gasped in wonder as he got inside, then sat down & grinned at the plush red velvet seating,
" This is warm! " he said, then bounced up & down, " Bouncy too! "
Vegeta slowly got inside, then held the door open see his gravity room across the street
with a sad look on his face. He waved at it, then stopped suddenly as the driver slammed the
door shut on his face. He growled, then looked around uneasily.
" Kakorot? " he said, glancing at Goku to his left.
" Yeah? "
" Kakorot, this is a mistake, I DON'T want to do this! " he said, slightly panicy, " I'm
having bad flashbacks about when Freezer kidnapped me when I was 5 and threw me in that dark
damp cage and brought his minnions down to laugh at me and made me cry and-- "
" It's too late for that now! " Goku said cheerfully, " Besides, we're with you this
time! There's NOTHING to worry about! "
" I'M _NOT_ WORRIED! " he growled defensively, " I am the saiyajin no ouji, I fear
NOTHING!! "
" Whatever you say Vegeta. " Goku smirked as Vegeta sat back, crossing his arms just as
the driver started the car up.
Goku looked over at Vegeta, " Maybe you should wear your seatbelt. "
" Feh, " Vegeta said, " Saiyajin do not wear "seatbelts". " he humphed as the driver
punched the gas pedal, sending Vegeta flying against the back of the seat infront of him. He
slid down & fell onto the ground as the limo took a swift left-turn. Causing him to slam into
the door. Goku smiled & put him back on the seat, then strapped him in.
Vegeta rubbed his head in pain, " Something tells me this is going to be a long day. "

" Hi Goku. " Bulma said.
" Good to see ya again man. " Yamcha said, shaking Goku's hand, " Where were you? "
" We were sparing & this weird guy came up to us and wanted us to be in a movie or
something and Vegeta said no and that movies were stupid but the guy gave him a little card
thingy anyway and told him to call him if he changed his mind but I don't think he will. " Goku
said in one breath.
" Oh? " Yamcha said.
" Movie? " Bulma said, then noticed the card in Vegeta's pocket & grabbed it, " What
do you mean "movie"? " she asked, then read the little card & gasped.
" Va, Vegeta, where did you GET this!? " she said in shock.
" Some baka in a limo wants me to be in his blasted "movie". " he said, shrugging.
" AND YOU SAID "NO"!!! " she said, stunned.
" Of course I said no Onna. Do you know what those movie people are?! They're nothing
more than toys! Just like B-chan's dolls and her stuffed animals! " he growled.
" I can't believe you said NO to one of the biggest directors around. " Bulma said.
" I can. " Yamcha raised his hand.
" Oh Vegeta, sometimes you just--I don't know. " Bulma sighed in dismay, then flipped
over the card to see a number written on the back of it, " A PHONE NUMBER! HE WROTE HIS PHONE
NUMBER ON THE BACK OF IT! " she squealed, then picked up the phone, " If YOU don't want to be
in his movie Vegeta, I'll be glad to. " she stuck out her tongue.
" Like I care Onna. " he rolled his eyes, then walked towards the front door, " I'm
going to the gravity room to train. " Vegeta said, reaching for the doorknob as Bulma punched
in the digits on the phone.
" AHH! It's ringing! " she smiled.
" La-de-freakin-da. " Vegeta said sarcastically, then grabbed the doorknob, which, to
his surprise, turned on its own. He stared at it for a moment, then felt himself slam against the
wall as the door opened from the other way, smushing him between the door & the wall.
" You called? " McSleazy said as he stood in the doorway.
" OHMYGOD! " Bulma shouted, zipping over to him, " Oh Mr. McSleazy I'm so sorry for
my husband's behaivor earlier I-- "
" Call me B.M. Everybody does. " he smirked.
" Oh, B.M. Well, my husband didn't mean to offend you and-- "
" --I did too! " Vegeta said, muffled.
" SHUT UP VEGETA! " Bulma retorted, then smiled at McSleazy.
" Ohhhh.. " Vegeta rubbed his head.
" Whatcha doin behind the door Toussan? " Bura giggled, staring at Vegeta, who slid out
from between the door & wall, " Did you lose something? "
" You mean besides some of whatever little pride I have left B-chan? " he said, sighing.
" Ahh, there you are! " McSleazy said as Vegeta got up.
" GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! " Vegeta yelled at him.
" So, dis is the famous Capsule Corp eh? " McSleazy said, walking around, then glanced
at Bulma, " And you must be-- "
" Bulma Briefs. " she answered, shaking his hand.
" Bulma huh? " he said, " Did anyone tell you you'd make a perfect female lead? "
" Oh, MANY people. But, I was to MODEST to go into the movies. I actually got quite
a few offers from ALL the BIG producers, but I told them that if they wanted me they'd have to
BEG. " she boasted.
" When did THAT happen? " Yamcha whispered to Goku, who shrugged.
" I don't remember Bulma ever getting any Hollywood offers before. " Goku said,
scratching his head as Bulma sweatdropped.
" WILL YOU BE QUIET! " she said through her teeth as Yamcha & Goku nodded in unison.
" Of course I could get you a BIG part in my new movie Ms. Briefs, if, your husband & his
friend dere would sign a few things fur me. " McSleazy said, looking at Goku, & then at Vegeta.
" I guess it WOULD be kinda fun to be in a movie. " Goku said, going off into a
daydream....
:::"Oh no!" one of the many citizens gathered around the river shouted, " There are too
many fish in the river! They're clogging up the resevior! "
" We'll all die of thirst! " another cried.
" DON'T WORRY GOOD CITIZENS! " a heroic voice cried from behind.
" HOORAY! " a third citizen said, " IT'S SON GOKU! "
" He's here to save us! " the first said.
" Correct! " Goku smiled, a sparkle in his teeth as he lept into the river & began to
eat the mass quantities of fish stuffed in the river.
" HE DID IT! " the second said, " SON GOKU HAS SAVED US FROM THE FISH! "
" THE RIVER IS FLOWING AGAIN! "
" *BUUUUUURRP* All in a days work my friends, remember, if those fish bother you again,
feel free to call me! " he grinned.
" Oh THANK YOU! " they all shouted at once, a whole fish now appearing in each of the
citizens hands, " Take these as a reward! "
" Why, thank YOU! " Goku said, drool trickling out of the side of his mouth as he eyed
up all the fish, then began to stuff his face, " I LOVE being a Super Hero. ":::
" ...yeah. " Goku said in a daze, " I'LL DO IT! " he said to McSleazy.
" Now, " McSleazy said, pulling a piece of paper curled up with a rubberband around it
out of his backpocket, " Ms. Briefs, if your husband here will sign this for me, we can get
started. "
" I'm not signing any baka paper. " Vegeta crossed his arms, " I DON'T act and I DON'T
sign any stupid documents. "
" Oh Mr. Briefs, it's not just any stupid document. " McSleazy said, walking up to
Vegeta," It's a contract, it basically says that you belong to me & my company--err I mean,
to make sure you don't decide to change your mind while we're making the movie. "
" I don't like you, you remind me of Freezer. " he said, suspicous.
" He doesn't look like Freezer. " Bura said, confused.
" And who do we have 'ere. " McSleazy said, bending down to Bura's height, " Wat's your
name little gurl? "
Vegeta grabbed Bura & held her tightly, " THIS is my little B-chan. " he narrowed his
eyes, then looked down at Bura, " Don't turn your back on this bakayaro for a minute, I don't
trust him. "
" Who is he Toussan? " Bura asked.
" Do you like movies little gurl? " McSleazy smiled at Bura.
" Mmm-hmm! " Bura nodded.
" Well what would yous say if I told you I offered your Papa the chance to STAR in my
movie? " he said as Bura's eyes widened.
" Toussan--in a movie! " Bura said breathlessly, " WOW!!! I NEVER KNEW TOUSSAN COULD
ACT! " she gasped.
" It's a shame though, " McSleazy said sadly, " Your "Toussan" decided to turn me down.
Now NOBODY's going to be in the movie. "
Bura's face saddened.
" And I was going to let you have a part too little girl. Would you like that? To be in
a movie. Impress all your friends. " he said persasively, " Do you have a little boyfriend? "
" Uh-- " Bura said, glancing at Goten, who was sitting in the corner chewing a large
wad of bubblegum, " --kinda. " she blushed.
" Wouldn't you like it if "Toussan" decided to agree. " he said, " I'm going to give him
one more chance. I can just leave all of you & go find a cast somewhere else ya know. "
Vegeta looked around to see Bulma, Goku, & the others staring at him pleadingly. He
looked downwards, avoiding eyecontact, only to come face to face with Bura.
" PWEASE Toussan? " Bura's eyes began to water.
" Uh--I... " Vegeta took a deep breath, " Okay. " he said in defeat, " I'll act in your
stupid movie. " he sighed as expressions of relief & thankfulness filled the faces of everyone
else in the room.
" PERFECT! " McSleazy snapped his fingers, then grabbed Vegeta & sat him down on one of
the chairs in the kitchen, " Now, if you'll just sign a couple things. " he said, spreading the
long piece of paper on the table & handing Vegeta a pen.
" What IS all this? " Vegeta said, baffled.
" I toldja, itsa contract. " he answered as Vegeta picked it up.
" Why are the words so BLASTED TINY! " he growled, trying to make out what it said.
McSleazy laughed nervously, then grabbed the paper & set it back down.
" Oh you don't need to worry about that Mr. Briefs, just sign it, you'll have plenty of
time to read it later. " McSleazy said.
Vegeta looked up to see Goku, Bulma, & Bura nodding at him with big grins on their face.
He looked back at the paper, gulped, & put the pen on the contract & slowly began to sign it.
" Good boy! You don't know what youd've been missin! " McSleazy patted Vegeta on the
back, then grabbed the paper & stuffed it back in his pocket.
Vegeta looked at him uneasily, " Uh-huh. "
" ..And _I_'m going to be one of the leads, yeah, can you believe it? " Bulma said on the
phone, she had taken the liberty of calling everyone she had ever known to boast about her new
status as a "movie star". This had gone on for about 3 hours, and she still hadn't gotten
through the "B" section of her unusually large address book which sat next to her on the couch.
Bura was busy trying for the umpteenth time to explain the movies to Goten, who still
seemed slighty confused about the whole thing.
Goku was busy trying to figure out what his Super Hero costume would look like, Yamcha
sat there slightly supsicous about the whole scenero and Vegeta was up in room laying on the
bed, confused.
" TA-DA! " Goku shouted, opening the door to the bedroom & leaping out in a fish-costume.
Yamcha raised an eyebrow at him.
" Who are you supposed to be? "
" THE SAIYAN SAMMON! You know, sammon, like the fish. " he grinned, " I SHALL SEEK OUT
INJUSTICE AND, in this nifty camoflage, EASILY DEFEAT MY FISHY FOES!! "
" Uh, Goku, since when do fish commit crimes? " Yamcha said.
" Well, I, I dunno, I just liked the costume. "
" ... "
" I can communicate w/ fish ya know. "
" Isn't that one of Aquaman's powers? "
" Well yeah, but, think how cool it would be to talk to your dinner before you eat it! "
" I...guess. " Yamcha scratched his head, " If you like fish. "
Bura groaned as she walked up the stairs, having given up getting anything through
Goten's thick skull about the movie business.
" Toussan? " she said, opening the door to Vegeta's room, " Hi Toussan! " Bura chirped,
hopping onto the bed next to him, " Whatcha doin? "
" ... " Vegeta sat up & looked her straight in the eyes, " B-chan, do you think what I
did, signing that thing, was right? "
" Course I do Toussan! We're all gonna be FAMOUS! " Bura smiled back, " Why? "
" Because I don't even know what I signed, and that baka reminds me too much of
Freezer. "
" Does Freezer scare you Toussan? "
" He killed me B-chan. "
" ...oh. " Bura blinked, then grinned, " Don't worry Toussan, this guy isn't like
Freezer, not at all. He's a dictator. "
" You mean director. "
" Same thing. " Bura said, not understanding.
" You know B-chan, you're probably right. " Vegeta answered.
" ..anyways, that guy said we're supposed to meet him outside tommorow, we're all going
to HOLLYWOOD! " Bura exclaimed.
" Oh, okay. " Vegeta said, " B-chan? "
" Yes? "
" What's a "hollywood"? "
" WAHH!! " Bura fell down animé style, " YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HOLLYWOOD IS!? "
" No. "
Bura sighed, " This is gonna be a long day. "
The Next Morning:
" I'M READY! " Bulma shouted trumphently, Yamcha carrying hundreds of her bags &
suitcases behind her, " STARDOM HERE I COME! "
" Why do I have to carry you stuff! I'm not even your husband! " Yamcha whined.
" Oh shut up! Hey..where IS Vegeta? " she said, looking around.
" Hi Bulma! " Goku said happily, Goten riding on his shoulders and Bura standing next
to him with a little pink backpack in her hand.
" Goku, have you seen Vegeta? " Bulma asked.
" Good question! " he said, putting Goten down, " Let's find out! " Goku grinned, putting
his fingers on his forehead, " Instantanious movement time! " he rubbed Goten on the head, then
disappeared & reappeared in Vegeta's room.
Vegeta sat on the bed, in what could be either a deep meditation, or the result of him
falling asleep while sitting up.
Goku leaned towards the shorter saiyajin's ear, took a deep breath & screamed, " HI
LITTLE BUDDY!!!! "
" AHHH!!! " Vegeta screamed in fright, then put his hands on his ears & rubbed them in
pain, " KAKOROT! DON'T DO THAT!!! "
" K! " Goku said innocently, looking over his shoulder, " So, ya ready to go! "
" No Kakorot, I'm not. I just want to tell you that I'm only doing this for B-chan and
Onna-- "
" And ME? " Goku said in a mocking, sing-song voice.
" No. " he answered, irritated, " I want to get this blasted thing done & overwith as
soon as possible. "
" Oh come on Vegeta, how long do you actually think movies take to make? " Goku said
skeptically.
" About 2 hours. " Vegeta shrugged as Goku slapped himself on the forehead.
" VEGETA! MOVIES TAKE MONTHS TO COMPLETE! SOMETIMES EVEN A YEAR! Even _I_ know that, and
I don't even live in the city. " Goku said as Vegeta's face paled.
" A YEAR!? " he gulped, then shook it off, " As long as it doesn't interfere with my
training. "
Goku giggled, then burst into laughter, a nervous look overtook Vegeta's face again.
" WHAT'S SO BLASTED FUNNY! "
" Aww lil buddy, hee-hee, it takes a lot of work to shook even one scene. We'll be in
Hollywood for months, you can't just zip back & forth between here & there, it'll take too long."
" But, but my gravity room! "
" You can't bring it with you. How'll we fit it on the plane? Or even in the limo. "
" Ohhhhhh, I'LL FIND A WAY!!! " he yelled, then stomped out of the room and outside to
the front lawn; across the street Bulma, Yamcha, Bura, Goten, & McSleazy's limo sat. Vegeta
ignored them, walked over to the gravity chamber & attempted to pick it up. Goku skipped out of
the house shortly after to see Vegeta struggling with the room.
" Vegeta, what are you doing? " Goku asked.
" I'm...picking...up...my...gravity...room...to...take...with...me! " Vegeta grunted.
Goku looked down at him sadly, then got & idea & snapped his fingers. He picked up Vegeta
and set him down on the lawn, then rubbed his hands together, put his hands on the chamber, &
easily hoisted it up overtop of his head, " Like this? "
Vegeta looked at Goku in shock, then growled, " PUT THAT THING DOWN BAKA!!! " he yelled,
walking over to Goku.
" Oh-kay! " Goku grinned, then dropped the chamber, which fell down upon Vegeta's foot,
causing him to cry out in pain. Goku grabbed him & pulled his foot out, " Sorry little buddy. "
" I AM NOT YOUR "LITTLE BUDDY"!! " Vegeta hissed, then walked across the street to the
others," Okay, let's get leave. " he grumbled, reaching for the handle, then felt a smack &
glanced up to see McSleazy.
" WHAT WAS THAT FOR!!! " Vegeta yelled.
" Now now Mr. Briefs. You don't have to worry about doing anything. Alfonzo opens the
doors on the limo, its part of his job. " McSleazy smirked as the tall driver got out of the limo
& opened the doors.
" Whoa. " Yamcha mumbled.
" THIS IS SO EXCITING! " Bulma squealed as she hopped inside, followed by Yamcha, Bura &
Goten.
" Ooooooh. " Goku said, peeking inside, " WOW! I've never been in a limo before! " he
gasped in wonder as he got inside, then sat down & grinned at the plush red velvet seating,
" This is warm! " he said, then bounced up & down, " Bouncy too! "
Vegeta slowly got inside, then held the door open see his gravity room across the street
with a sad look on his face. He waved at it, then stopped suddenly as the driver slammed the
door shut on his face. He growled, then looked around uneasily.
" Kakorot? " he said, glancing at Goku to his left.
" Yeah? "
" Kakorot, this is a mistake, I DON'T want to do this! " he said, slightly panicy, " I'm
having bad flashbacks about when Freezer kidnapped me when I was 5 and threw me in that dark
damp cage and brought his minnions down to laugh at me and made me cry and-- "
" It's too late for that now! " Goku said cheerfully, " Besides, we're with you this
time! There's NOTHING to worry about! "
" I'M _NOT_ WORRIED! " he growled defensively, " I am the saiyajin no ouji, I fear
NOTHING!! "
" Whatever you say Vegeta. " Goku smirked as Vegeta sat back, crossing his arms just as
the driver started the car up.
Goku looked over at Vegeta, " Maybe you should wear your seatbelt. "
" Feh, " Vegeta said, " Saiyajin do not wear "seatbelts". " he humphed as the driver
punched the gas pedal, sending Vegeta flying against the back of the seat infront of him. He
slid down & fell onto the ground as the limo took a swift left-turn. Causing him to slam into
the door. Goku smiled & put him back on the seat, then strapped him in.
Vegeta rubbed his head in pain, " Something tells me this is going to be a long day. "
