Quote of the week: "OW! Another fishing lure up my nose!" -Filmore:Sherman's Lagoon
Chuey's Corner: I loved working with my made-up android, Veggy from my
first fic that I wanted to make a sequal to Veggienapped. So, here it is.
Summary: Freeza's sister has sayianapped Bura! But promises to give
her back if she can do battle against Goku & Vegeta. Unfortunately, Vegeta
has come down with a horrible sickness that unables him to get out of bed.
Desprate times call for desprate measures as the Z Senshi are forced to contact
the only person who could pass for the saiyajin no ouji. Will they be able to
pull it off? Will Bura be saved? And will Mirai have a nervous breakdown before
the fic is over? Find out.

************************************************************************************************
Life was perfect. It was 6:00am in the small neighborhood and the sun was just
begining to rise. A familiar figure rose to his feet and ran over to the front door & slowly yet
anxiously opened it. A smile attached to his face as he looked around the neighborhood and
watched as the paperboy ran by.
" HI MISTER V! " he shouted, then tossed the newspaper at the man, who caught in his hand
and waved to the boy as he rode off down the street.
Slowly the citizens of the town awoke and got ready to face the day, each poking their
heads out of their houses to get their own newspapers.
" Hi Veggy! " a small girl cried as she waved to him from across the street.
" Suki get back in here! " her mother said, then pulled the girl back inside the house,
" Oh. Hi Mr. V! It's always nice to see you! " she smiled, then took her newspaper & closed the
door behind her.
Veggy smiled, " Yup, " he thought to himself, " It can't get any better than this. "
Life was miserable. The tired ouji opened one eye to see the alarm clock on the counter
next to his bed; 6:01am, " That's strange, that baka alarm didn't go off. Oh well. " he smirked,
then closed his eyes just as a small beep excaped the clock.
" BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!!!!! "
" WAAH!!! " Vegeta screamed in shock as he sat up in bed. His bloodshot eyes led him to
the source of the noise. Vegeta clenched his teeth, and with a small burst of energy, blasted
the clock into dust and ashes.
" VEGETA!!! " Bulma gasped as he stood in the doorway staring at the object that used
to be her alarm clock, then at the person responsible, " WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING! NOW GET
OUT THERE AND GET THE PAPER AND _MAYBE_ I'll forget about this litte incident. "
Vegeta slid out of the bed, and being only half awake wobbled down the stairs to
the front door and opened it, " Baka rain. " he snarled, then made his way outside, " Now where
is that blasted paper! " he said outloud, then felt something soggy smack him on the side of the
face. Vegeta looked down to see a soaked newspaper, then picked it up, " YOU BAKAYARO! IF IT
WASN'T SO BLASTED EARLY I'D BIG BANG YOU TO THE DIMENSION!!! " he screamed as the paperboy road
on, then turned his head and blew a raspberry at Vegeta, who formed a small ball of ki in his
hand and tossed it at the paperboy, obliterating him along with the bike he was riding on,
" THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR RUINING MY MORNING! "
" WAHHHH!!!! " a loud voice cried from the house across the street as a woman stuck her
head out of the front window.
" KEEP IT DOWN YOU LOUDMOUTH! YOU _WANNA_ WAKE UP THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD!!! " she
screamed, then slammed the window shut behind her.
Vegeta rolled his eyes & closed the door behind him, " Onna I could care less about
those blasted people. " he growled, then set the paper down and walked towards the kitchen.
" HI TOUSSAN! " Bura exclaimed from her seat at the table as a smile engulfed Vegeta's
face at seeing the one person on the planet who loved him more than anyone else he had ever met.
" Hi B-chan! " Vegeta grinned, only half of the kitchen table visible to him at where
he was standing.
" Hey Toussan, guess who's having breakfast with us! " Bura giggled as Vegeta smiled
at her in a dazed state of mind.
" Hmm, you say something little B-chan? " he said in a dream-like voice.
" HI MISTER BURA'S DADDY!!! " a voice said from the kitchen, quickly bringing Vegeta
back to reality.
" KAKOROT SPAWN! " he screamed as he bounded into the kitchen to see chibi Goten sitting
next to Bura, eating a large fish on his plate, " WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!!! "
" Well, me & Dad went fishing this morning and we decided that as long as we're coming
this way we might as well stay here and have breakfast with YOU! " Goten said happily as he
picked up the fish & bit a chunk out of it.
" Oh Kami help me! " Vegeta put his hand on his forehead, feeling a migraine coming
on, " I need some Pepsi, excuse me B-chan. " he groaned, walking past the table & up to the
refridgerator door.
" Umm, Mr. Bura's Daddy, I'm not sure you wanna do that. " Goten pointed out.
" Oh shut up brat. " Vegeta grumbled, then opened the door to the refridgerator &
shrieked.
" Ya, ya ya, ya you, you wha-wha, KAKOROT!!!!! " he screamed in horror to see the
large saiyajin sitting in his now empty refridgerator, several crumbs laying about.
Goku opened his mouth to speak, " *BUUUUUUURRRRPP* HI VEGETA! " he said in his usual
perky tone, " Want some FISH? " he said, sticking a large mackeral in Vegeta's face, " I caught
it this morning just for my short---tempered little buddy! " Goku hopped out of the refridgerator
& handed the slimy, smelly, dead fish to Vegeta, who looked down at it in disqust.
" YOU ATE ALL THE FOOD I OWN!!! " Vegeta gasped, searching frantically through the empty
refridgerator, then felt his stomach, which growled loudly.
" B-chan, can I have the rest of your cereal? " he asked as Bura smiled at him
thoughtfully.
" Of course you can Toussan, I love y-- " Bura looked down to notice her bowl of cereal
was now gone. She glanced to her right to see Goten slurping up the rest of the milk. Goten
turned to Bura, grinned widely, then burped for a whole 10 seconds straight.
Goku broke the silence, " Hey, he beat my record! "
" Silly Goten! I love you! " Bura said, then hugged her friend.
" HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY DAUGHTER'S BREAKFAST YOU THIRD-CLASS BA-Ahh, ACHOO! "
Vegeta sneezed, then wiped his nose.
" Are you feeling okay Vegeta? " Goku asked.
" OF COURSE I AM OKAY KAKOROT! A mere sneeze is nothing to a saiyajin. " he said,
then crossed his arms.
" Well, I was just saying, cuz your eyes look kinda red & puffy, maybe you're getting
sick. "
" ME! SICK! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO BREAKS INTO MY HOUSE AND EATS MY WHOLE WEEKS WORTH
OF FOOD ALL BEFORE I EVEN GET OUT OF BED!!! " Vegeta yelled angrily.
" No, I don't mean it like that, I mean, you know, sick. When you don't feel good and
you get headaches and stuff. " Goku tried to explain.
" Kakorot, I have had a headache since the moment I met you. " he said dryly, then
sniffled slightly.
" I could help you. YEAH! I could help nurse you back to health! Come on! It'll be fun.
We can play hospital just like they do at the...uh, hospital. " Goku bounced up and down.
" I am NOT sick, and I do NOT want you to help ME in any way Kakorot. " Vegeta protested,
then wobbled over to the sink and leaned over it, his face turning green.
" Ve, geta? " Goku said, then stopped as Bura & Goten turned their heads towards Vegeta,
who was now in the process of regergitating in the sink, " Eew. "
" Bura, why did your Daddy just throw up? " Goten asked.
Bura shrugged, then ran over to her father, " Toussan, are you feeling alright? " she
asked Vegeta, who turned to her, his face still a light green and a small trail of what he had
thrown up dripping down the side of his mouth.
" I'm fine B-chan. " he smiled, " I, just need to go train a little bit, that's all. " he
said, then hobbled towards the stairs and went up to his bedroom, then shut the door behind him.
" Poor Toussan. " Bura's eyes watered, then she felt a tap on her back and turned around
to see Goten staring her in the face with a goofy Son Goku grin, " Come on, let's go play
hide-n-seek! "
" But you were just grieving over your Daddy, and now you wanna go play? " Goten said
curiously.
" Aww, he'll be okay! Let's go! "
" 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! READY OR NOT! HERE I COME! " Bura shouted, then took her hands off
over her eyes and looked around the front yard, which was still full of puddles from the short
morning storm, " Goten! Where are you! " she said, then smirked, " I have some COOKIES for
you! " Bura said in a sing-song voice, then, producing no response, sighed, " Well, at least I
know he's somewhere in the house and--whoa... " Bura looked upward as a large spaceship floated
downward, landing nearly 2 inches in front of here.
" Unbelievable....HEY! You're blocking the front door! " she cried.
" Ahh, you must be the Prince Vegeta's daughter. " the figure smirked as it walked out
upto Bura, " Just who I've been looking for. "
" Who are you? " Bura asked, baffled.
" I, my dear, am the sister of the dearly departed Freeza-san. My name is Icebox. " the
figure said, holding out its hand.
Bura raised an eyebrow, " But I thought all ice-jin were asexual, how could you be
Freeza's SISTER? "
Icebox sweatdropped, " Uhh, say, how would you like some candy hmm? " she said, changing
the subject.
" Who do I look like, Goten! " Bra narrowed her eyes, " You wanna take me away from my
Toussan, just like your bro--err, Freeza did to him! "
" Dang, you're a smart little monkey aren't you. " Icebox said.
" Mmm-hmm! Daddy says I'm the smartest little princess in the whole world! " Bura said
proudly.
" Well, I guess I can't fool you then. " Icebox smirked as Bura looked up at her
nervously, " It looks like I'm going to have to use a backup plan. "
" A backup wha---EEK! " Bura cried as Icebox pulled her tail, causing her to lose
consiousness.
" MUHAHAHAHA MUHAHAHAHAHA AND MUHHAHAHAHA SOME MORE!!! " Icebox laughed, then
picked up Bura & carried her inside the ship, then backed up, accidently smashing the ship into
the front of Capsule Corp.
Icebox looked out her rearview window to see the large gapeing hole in the building,
" Oh foo! I just had this thing waxed. " she growled, then punched the gas pedal & flew off.
2 Hours later...
" Hey Goten, what're you doing in my parent's mailbox? " Mirai Trunks asked as he
peeked inside the mailbox at the small boy.
" Playing hide-n-seek with Bura. I think I'm winning. " Goten whispered.
" I think you're stuck. "
" Yeah, that too. "
" So, " Mirai said, " Need some help? "
" Could you? "
" Sure. " he nodded, then pulled his sword out of it's case & swung it about a couple
practice times as Goten felt his blood run cold, " Ok, you ready? Goten? Goten? " he stared at
Goten for a second, then noticed he was now unconsious, " Maybe next time I should just use my
swiss army knife instead. " Mirai mentally made a note of it, then yanked Goten out of the
mailbox and headed turned around towards Capsule Corp. Mirai's eyes widened, " Oh, my, God... "
his jaw dropped to the ground, " WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HOUSE!!! " he dropped Goten unintentionally
to the ground & ran to the large hole at where used to be an entire wall, " Oh crap... "
" 210 DEGREES FAHENHEIGHT!!! " Bulma gasped, " VEGETA! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! " she gasped
as she looked at the thermometer, " If your temperature was 210 degrees you'd be DEAD! "
" Not if you're a saiyajin. " Vegeta smirked, then cried out in pain, his face turning
green again.
" Hey Mom? " Mirai stuck his head in the doorway.
" Trunks, quick! Get your father a trashcan before he throws up on the new carpeting. "
" Huh? OH! " Mirai said, then rushed out of the room & returned with the object, handing
it to his mother.
" Here Vegeta, use this. " Bulma said, giving Vegeta the trash can.
" For WHAT! "
" Uhg! Nevermind Vegeta, just go to sleep, I'm going to find out what exactly is wrong
with you. "
Mirai walked over to Vegeta, " Dad? " he said in a concerned voice.
" What. " Vegeta said.
" I just, wanna let you know, that, uhm, if you don't pull through, well,
what I wanna say is--if you croak can I keep your boots? "
" GET OUT!!! " Vegeta yelled angrily as he sat up, & grabbed one of his boots off of
the floor & chucked it at Mirai's head, " GET OUT NOW!!!! "
" WAH!!! " Mirai ran out of the room & closed the door behind him as he heard Vegeta's
other boot hit the back of the door, " I should know better that. " he scholded himself.
" What happened to you? " Bulma asked Mirai as she climbed back up the stairs holding a
needle that was pointing downward.
" Dad got mad at me. He MUST be sick, he didn't even ki blast me, he just threw his
stuff at me instead. " Mirai Trunks explained.
" Oh? Well, as soon as I take a blood sample from him I'll be able to take it back down
to the lab & find out what's wrong with him.
" A needle? Isn't he scared of those? "
" No, that's Goku, Trunks. " Bulma corrected Mirai as she opened the door to see a very
cross looking Vegeta laying on the bed, staring up at the ceiling.
" Oh Veggie-chan? " Bulma said slyly, holding the needle behind her as Vegeta glanced at
her, then at Mirai who was peeking in at the doorway.
" If that brat wants to apoligize tell him to get down on his knees and beg, then
MAYBE I'll forgive him. " Vegeta smirked, " I am the saiyajin no ouji, my health is not to be
made fun of! "
" Yes, of course it is--err, isn't. " Bulma said soothingly, then behind her back took
the cap off of the needle.
" You're agreeing with me, what are you up too? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow.
" Oh, I just want to take your temperature, that's all. " Bulma lied.
" You just did, remember. " Vegeta narrowed his eyes.
Bulma thought for a moment, " VEGETA! LOOK! BURA'S KISSING GOTEN!!! " she yelled as
Vegeta turned towards the window in a panic as Bulma stuck the needle in his arm.
"LITTLE B-CHAN!!!!! WHERE IS THAT KAKO-BRAT! I'LL KILL HIM!! I'LL BLAST HIM SO HARD HIS
BODY'LL EXPLODE!!! " Vegeta screamed furiously, " What a minute, we're upstairs, we can't see
anyone from here! " he said, then looked to his left to see the needle draining the blood from
his arm. Vegeta pailed, then screamed in fright.
" AAH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! " he yelped, frightened, " GET THAT OUT OF ME NOW! "
Bulma pulled the needle out, " There. Now I can find out what you're sick with. "
" My arm... " Vegeta said, staring at his left arm, which now had a small hole in it,
tiny amounts of blood dripping out of it, " Dang. " he rubbed it, which caused his arm to hurt
more, " ONNA!! "
" What? "
" Could you send B-chan up here with a bandaid, not that I need one of your baka earth
bandages, my arm doesn't even hurt at all, but I just want B-chan to come up here. " Vegeta said,
then grabbed his arm in pain.
" Well, I have to test this, but Mirai could go get her. " Bulma said.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, " YOU BETTER BRING HER HERE FAST OR I'LL BIG BANG YOU ACROSS
THE PLANET! "
" Hai. " Mirai said nervously, then ran down the stairs, followed by Bulma, " Wow,
Toussan's really grumpy when he's sick. "
" Trunks, if that's true then you father was born sick. " Bulma said dryly, " And I doubt
there's any cure for what he's got. "
"Diarrea? "
" No, an ego the size of texas. " Bulma sighed, then walked down to the lab as Trunks
headed into the kitchen and noticed a note on the table.
He grabbed it & picked it up, " Dear Prince Vegeta, I have taken the liberty of removing
your young from her current place of residence, that is, if you were to look for her in her
normal habitiual places of residence, you would not find her, for I have taken her, that is to
say I have kidnapped her. If you wish to lay eyes upon your child again you AND Kakorotto must
battle and defeat me together. "
Trunks raised an eyebrow, confused, " Huh? "
He looked down at the bottom of the letter, " In terms your monkey-like minds can
comprened, I stole your daughter & won't give her up without a fight....Oh, ok--OH NO!!! " he
screamed, " Bura's been kidnapped! " he shrieked, " Who would do such a thing! "
" 'Your friendly neighborhood ice-jin, Icebox; sister of the great lord Freezer...
FREEZER'S SISTER! "
" THAT LITTLE JERK! " Bulma grumbled as she walked out of the lab, " A COLD! ALL YOUR
FATHER HAS IS A BLASTED COLD!...oh my God did I just use the word "blasted" in a sentence! "
Bulma went pale, " OH HE'S REALLY GONNA GET IT THIS TIME!!!! "
" Muh, Mom. " Mirai said weakly.
" WHAT, I mean, what is it Trunks? "
" Look at this. " he said, handing the letter to Bulma, who read it, then gasped.
" Oh no, poor Bura..."
" Poor US! Can you imagine what'll happen when Toussan finds out his "precious, perfect
little princess", has been kidnapped! "
" Well, you're about to find out. " Bulma said as Trunks turned back to see Vegeta
leaning against the staircase, his eyes still bloodshot, his hair messed up and a pale, shocked
look on his face.
" Vegeta what are you doing out of bed! I told you to stay there! " Bulma shouted as
Vegeta continued to stare into space.
" Freeza's sister kidnapped my B-chan... " he said, a glazed look in his eyes.
" Don't worry Vegeta, it's not as bad as it sounds. " Bulma said, trying to keep him
calm.
" I'LL DESTROY HER! NO BAKAYARO STEALS _MY_ DAUGHTER AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!! WHERE
DID THAT FOOL GO! I'LL BLAST HER RIGHT NOW!!!! " Vegeta screamed, enraged as he went SSJ2, then
powered back down & collapsed to the ground.
" Vegeta, you need to rest! " Bulma protested as Vegeta sat up on his knees.
" NEVER! I REFUSE TO REST UNTIL B-CHAN IS SAFE! "
" Well you won't be until you get some medicine in you. I'm going down to the market to
buy some COLD medicine for you AND IF YOU AREN'T IN BED BY THE TIME I COME BACK I DON'T CARE HOW
SICK YOU ARE YOU'LL BE SLEEPING ON THE COUCH! " Bulma yelled as Vegeta sneered, then lubbed back
upstairs to his room & closed the door behind him.
" Mom, " Trunks asked as Bulma headed for the front door--uh, hole in the wall, " Aren't
you worried about Bura too? You seem kinda calm. "
" Come on Trunks, if she's anything like Freeza, Goku will defeat her easily. Besides,
his power level is in the zillions somewhere by now. " Bulma reassured her son.
" Well, I guess. " Trunks said as Bulma got in her car, " But, how strong is this guy? "
" That jerk! Acting like he's going to die and all he has is a stupid cold! " Bulma
grumbled as she pushed the cart down the medicine eisle at the supermarket, then picked up some
cold medicine & put it in the cart, " Now where the heck are the tissues? " she said, still
slightly aggrivated from before.
" I know! " a voice from behind her said as Bulma turned around to see the figure.
" VEGETA! But how..oh, I get it! YOU WEREN'T REALLY SICK AT ALL! YOU JUST DID THAT FOR
ATTENTION DIDN'T YOU! " she growled as the figure in front of her cocked his head & smiled.
" Oh Bulma, I'm not-- "
" HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME! YOU REALLY HAD ME WORRIED VEGETA! " she yelled,
grabbing the figure by the collar of his sweater & holding him up, " YOU WON'T BE SMILING WHEN
I'M DONE WITH YOU! "
" But...Bulma...I'm not..Vegeta... " he said, strangled. Bulma looked him up & down for
a minute, then dropped him.
" Oh, jeez, I'm sorry. You just looked so much like my husband that I-- "
" You forgot these! " the figure said happily as he snapped his fingers causing the box
of tissues Bulma was looking for to appear in his hands.
" ...YOU! " she gasped, backing up.
" You do remember! I'm so happy! " Veggy smiled, handing her the box.
" I did think the idea of Vegeta wearing a sweater & khakis was kinda weird. " Bulma
said to herself.
" So, is there anything else you need help with? " Veggy said hopefully.
" Uh, no, not really, maybe a some Pepsi, but other than tha-- " Bulma stopped in mid
sentence to see a six-pack of Pepsi cans in her hands. She looked up at Veggie suspicously, who
grinned at her, making her feel uneasy, " Well, I, gotta go now. Ok? " she said, putting the
cans in her shopping-cart.
" BYE! " he said cheerfully, then hugged her & skipped down to the next eisle, whistling
happily.
" He makes me thankful Vegeta's the way he is. " Bulma said, brushing off her jacket,
" Eew. "
" Did you get something on your jacket Bulma? I could take it back to my house & wash it
for you! " Veggy said eagerly as he peeked around the corner.
" No, thanks. " Bulma said, " It's fine, REALLY. " she said quickly, then rushed to the
cashier, paid for her things & ran out of the supermarket.
Veggy watched Bulma's car pull away, then scratched his head, " Gee, I wonder what got
into her? "
" AHHH!! AHHHH! AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! " Vegeta wailed
in pain as he lay under the covers.
" Wow, he can scream pretty loud can't he. " Goku said as he, Trunks, Goten, & Gohan
watched Vegeta from across the room, " Man, I NEVER wanna get sick. "
Vegeta slowly turned his head to Goku, " Kakorot, if I could reach you I would hurt
you! "
" ATTENTION! " a voice from the TV across from them shouted as the 4 sayiajin turned
their heads to see a familiar face sneering back at them.
" Freeza? " Goku said, confused as the figure stepped to the left to reveal Bura in a
large cage behind her.
" AHH! B-CHAN! " Vegeta yelped as his heart froze.
" That must be Icebox. " Trunks said.
Vegeta snarled, " I DON'T CARE WHO THAT IS HE HAS B-CHAN!!! " his ki rose as Vegeta tried
desprately to get out of bed.
" Greetings Vegeta, Kakorot, how are you. " Icebox smirked.
" I'm good! " Goku raised his hand.
" Me too! " Goten added.
" DIE!!! " Vegeta tossed several ki-blast at the TV as Trunks tried franticly to devert
them.
" Child, would you care to say something to "Daddy"? " Icebox said menicingly as she
held up a microphone to Bura, who looked up helplessly.
" PAPA HELP ME! " she cried as Vegeta felt his heart sink.
" Don't worry B-chan! I'll help you! " he said as he leaned towards the TV.
" Please don't leave me! " Bura's eyes watered.
" HI BURA! " Goten said stupidly as Bura switched moods again.
" HI GOTEN! " she said happily.
" Guess what! I got my head caught in your mailbox! " Goten said proudly.
Icebox rolled her eyes, " Good for you. " she said sarcasticlly.
" That's nothin! " Goku said to Goten, " Once I was takin a bath in the garbage can
outside out house & I got stuck cuz I ate too much fish the day before. It took Chi-Chi three
house to get me out with a flamethrower. Wanna see the scar? "
Goten smiled, " Ok! "
" SHUDDAP!!! " Icebox screamed, " No one cares about your scar. I came here to announce a
two on one tormement between you two and me. I feared that your puny saiyajin brains would not be
able to comprehend the written word so I wanted to make sure you understand me. I am here to
avenge my brother Freeza by defeating the two that led to his demise. If you defeat me, which
you won't, I will reward you by returning the princess. When I defeat you, which I will, I shall
send you to my torture chamber where you will spend the rest of your miserable days. The
tormement shall begin in a week. In the mean time I'll take care of your daughter here Vegeta.
Sayonnora. " Icebox said, then the TV when blank.
" Two-on-one tormement? " Gohan said, confused.
" Yeah, the note said that she wants them to battle her together. " Trunks said, handing
Gohan the note.
" It's the buddy system! " Goku chimed in.
" ME! Fight WITH Kakorot! " Vegeta gasped, " THAT'S MADNESS! I WILL NEVER FIGHT
ALONGSIDE THAT BAKA! "
" How CAN you? You can't even get out of that bed, nonetheless battle against some
monster. " Gohan concluded.
" But if Vegeta can't fight, how're we gonna save Bura? " Goku said, baffled.
" Hai, you heard Kakorot! I MUST fight! " Vegeta shouted.
" Yeah, what'll happen to her if they don't. " Goten said.
" ... " Vegeta went off into a daydream...
:::"HAHAHA!" Icebox laughed maniaclly as she took the top off of a plate to reveal
several slabs of cooked meat, one of the slices with a small burnt tail sticking out of it,
then ate it, " Now isn't she sweet! MUHAHAHAHA:::
" WAHH! " Vegeta cried, " SHE'S GONNA EAT B-CHAN!!! " he burst into tears as the others
stared at him oddly.
" Poor Veggie. " Goku said, then snapped his fingers & walked over to Vegeta & hugged
him, " Aww, don't worry little buddy! We'll save her! "
Vegeta narrowed his eyes at Goku, " DON'T TOUCH ME! " he sent a ki-blast at Goku,
knocking him into the wall.
" We won't be able to get Bura back unless BOTH Goku AND Vegeta fight her. " Gohan sighed
as Bulma appeared in the doorway.
" I think I may have found a solution. " she smirked, " I'm not sure you'll like it,
but I have one. "
" SPEAK ONNA! TELL ME NOW!!! " Vegeta yelled.
" SHUT UP VEGETA! " Bulma yelled back, " Okay guys, I figure that since you're sick,
all we need is someone to fight in your place. "
" Nice try Onna, but in case you didn't notice, there's only one of me. " Vegeta smirked.
" Thank God. " Bulma said under her breath, " Well, actually Vegeta, you're only half
right. " she said, then stepped aside to reveal a short familiar figure next to her, " Look who
I found. "
Mirai shrieked, " OH NO! IT CAN'T BE! IT, it, it just CAN'T! "
" HI MIRAI! " Veggy chirped happily, " Didja miss me! " he said as he pulled his duster
out from behind his back.
Mirai felt his head spin, " ohhh. " he cried, then fainted.
Veggy walked over to Mirai, then looked up innocently at the others.
" What's wrong with him? "

Life was perfect. It was 6:00am in the small neighborhood and the sun was just
begining to rise. A familiar figure rose to his feet and ran over to the front door & slowly yet
anxiously opened it. A smile attached to his face as he looked around the neighborhood and
watched as the paperboy ran by.
" HI MISTER V! " he shouted, then tossed the newspaper at the man, who caught in his hand
and waved to the boy as he rode off down the street.
Slowly the citizens of the town awoke and got ready to face the day, each poking their
heads out of their houses to get their own newspapers.
" Hi Veggy! " a small girl cried as she waved to him from across the street.
" Suki get back in here! " her mother said, then pulled the girl back inside the house,
" Oh. Hi Mr. V! It's always nice to see you! " she smiled, then took her newspaper & closed the
door behind her.
Veggy smiled, " Yup, " he thought to himself, " It can't get any better than this. "
Life was miserable. The tired ouji opened one eye to see the alarm clock on the counter
next to his bed; 6:01am, " That's strange, that baka alarm didn't go off. Oh well. " he smirked,
then closed his eyes just as a small beep excaped the clock.
" BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!!!!! "
" WAAH!!! " Vegeta screamed in shock as he sat up in bed. His bloodshot eyes led him to
the source of the noise. Vegeta clenched his teeth, and with a small burst of energy, blasted
the clock into dust and ashes.
" VEGETA!!! " Bulma gasped as he stood in the doorway staring at the object that used
to be her alarm clock, then at the person responsible, " WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING! NOW GET
OUT THERE AND GET THE PAPER AND _MAYBE_ I'll forget about this litte incident. "
Vegeta slid out of the bed, and being only half awake wobbled down the stairs to
the front door and opened it, " Baka rain. " he snarled, then made his way outside, " Now where
is that blasted paper! " he said outloud, then felt something soggy smack him on the side of the
face. Vegeta looked down to see a soaked newspaper, then picked it up, " YOU BAKAYARO! IF IT
WASN'T SO BLASTED EARLY I'D BIG BANG YOU TO THE DIMENSION!!! " he screamed as the paperboy road
on, then turned his head and blew a raspberry at Vegeta, who formed a small ball of ki in his
hand and tossed it at the paperboy, obliterating him along with the bike he was riding on,
" THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR RUINING MY MORNING! "
" WAHHHH!!!! " a loud voice cried from the house across the street as a woman stuck her
head out of the front window.
" KEEP IT DOWN YOU LOUDMOUTH! YOU _WANNA_ WAKE UP THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD!!! " she
screamed, then slammed the window shut behind her.
Vegeta rolled his eyes & closed the door behind him, " Onna I could care less about
those blasted people. " he growled, then set the paper down and walked towards the kitchen.
" HI TOUSSAN! " Bura exclaimed from her seat at the table as a smile engulfed Vegeta's
face at seeing the one person on the planet who loved him more than anyone else he had ever met.
" Hi B-chan! " Vegeta grinned, only half of the kitchen table visible to him at where
he was standing.
" Hey Toussan, guess who's having breakfast with us! " Bura giggled as Vegeta smiled
at her in a dazed state of mind.
" Hmm, you say something little B-chan? " he said in a dream-like voice.
" HI MISTER BURA'S DADDY!!! " a voice said from the kitchen, quickly bringing Vegeta
back to reality.
" KAKOROT SPAWN! " he screamed as he bounded into the kitchen to see chibi Goten sitting
next to Bura, eating a large fish on his plate, " WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!!! "
" Well, me & Dad went fishing this morning and we decided that as long as we're coming
this way we might as well stay here and have breakfast with YOU! " Goten said happily as he
picked up the fish & bit a chunk out of it.
" Oh Kami help me! " Vegeta put his hand on his forehead, feeling a migraine coming
on, " I need some Pepsi, excuse me B-chan. " he groaned, walking past the table & up to the
refridgerator door.
" Umm, Mr. Bura's Daddy, I'm not sure you wanna do that. " Goten pointed out.
" Oh shut up brat. " Vegeta grumbled, then opened the door to the refridgerator &
shrieked.
" Ya, ya ya, ya you, you wha-wha, KAKOROT!!!!! " he screamed in horror to see the
large saiyajin sitting in his now empty refridgerator, several crumbs laying about.
Goku opened his mouth to speak, " *BUUUUUUURRRRPP* HI VEGETA! " he said in his usual
perky tone, " Want some FISH? " he said, sticking a large mackeral in Vegeta's face, " I caught
it this morning just for my short---tempered little buddy! " Goku hopped out of the refridgerator
& handed the slimy, smelly, dead fish to Vegeta, who looked down at it in disqust.
" YOU ATE ALL THE FOOD I OWN!!! " Vegeta gasped, searching frantically through the empty
refridgerator, then felt his stomach, which growled loudly.
" B-chan, can I have the rest of your cereal? " he asked as Bura smiled at him
thoughtfully.
" Of course you can Toussan, I love y-- " Bura looked down to notice her bowl of cereal
was now gone. She glanced to her right to see Goten slurping up the rest of the milk. Goten
turned to Bura, grinned widely, then burped for a whole 10 seconds straight.
Goku broke the silence, " Hey, he beat my record! "
" Silly Goten! I love you! " Bura said, then hugged her friend.
" HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY DAUGHTER'S BREAKFAST YOU THIRD-CLASS BA-Ahh, ACHOO! "
Vegeta sneezed, then wiped his nose.
" Are you feeling okay Vegeta? " Goku asked.
" OF COURSE I AM OKAY KAKOROT! A mere sneeze is nothing to a saiyajin. " he said,
then crossed his arms.
" Well, I was just saying, cuz your eyes look kinda red & puffy, maybe you're getting
sick. "
" ME! SICK! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO BREAKS INTO MY HOUSE AND EATS MY WHOLE WEEKS WORTH
OF FOOD ALL BEFORE I EVEN GET OUT OF BED!!! " Vegeta yelled angrily.
" No, I don't mean it like that, I mean, you know, sick. When you don't feel good and
you get headaches and stuff. " Goku tried to explain.
" Kakorot, I have had a headache since the moment I met you. " he said dryly, then
sniffled slightly.
" I could help you. YEAH! I could help nurse you back to health! Come on! It'll be fun.
We can play hospital just like they do at the...uh, hospital. " Goku bounced up and down.
" I am NOT sick, and I do NOT want you to help ME in any way Kakorot. " Vegeta protested,
then wobbled over to the sink and leaned over it, his face turning green.
" Ve, geta? " Goku said, then stopped as Bura & Goten turned their heads towards Vegeta,
who was now in the process of regergitating in the sink, " Eew. "
" Bura, why did your Daddy just throw up? " Goten asked.
Bura shrugged, then ran over to her father, " Toussan, are you feeling alright? " she
asked Vegeta, who turned to her, his face still a light green and a small trail of what he had
thrown up dripping down the side of his mouth.
" I'm fine B-chan. " he smiled, " I, just need to go train a little bit, that's all. " he
said, then hobbled towards the stairs and went up to his bedroom, then shut the door behind him.
" Poor Toussan. " Bura's eyes watered, then she felt a tap on her back and turned around
to see Goten staring her in the face with a goofy Son Goku grin, " Come on, let's go play
hide-n-seek! "
" But you were just grieving over your Daddy, and now you wanna go play? " Goten said
curiously.
" Aww, he'll be okay! Let's go! "
" 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! READY OR NOT! HERE I COME! " Bura shouted, then took her hands off
over her eyes and looked around the front yard, which was still full of puddles from the short
morning storm, " Goten! Where are you! " she said, then smirked, " I have some COOKIES for
you! " Bura said in a sing-song voice, then, producing no response, sighed, " Well, at least I
know he's somewhere in the house and--whoa... " Bura looked upward as a large spaceship floated
downward, landing nearly 2 inches in front of here.
" Unbelievable....HEY! You're blocking the front door! " she cried.
" Ahh, you must be the Prince Vegeta's daughter. " the figure smirked as it walked out
upto Bura, " Just who I've been looking for. "
" Who are you? " Bura asked, baffled.
" I, my dear, am the sister of the dearly departed Freeza-san. My name is Icebox. " the
figure said, holding out its hand.
Bura raised an eyebrow, " But I thought all ice-jin were asexual, how could you be
Freeza's SISTER? "
Icebox sweatdropped, " Uhh, say, how would you like some candy hmm? " she said, changing
the subject.
" Who do I look like, Goten! " Bra narrowed her eyes, " You wanna take me away from my
Toussan, just like your bro--err, Freeza did to him! "
" Dang, you're a smart little monkey aren't you. " Icebox said.
" Mmm-hmm! Daddy says I'm the smartest little princess in the whole world! " Bura said
proudly.
" Well, I guess I can't fool you then. " Icebox smirked as Bura looked up at her
nervously, " It looks like I'm going to have to use a backup plan. "
" A backup wha---EEK! " Bura cried as Icebox pulled her tail, causing her to lose
consiousness.
" MUHAHAHAHA MUHAHAHAHAHA AND MUHHAHAHAHA SOME MORE!!! " Icebox laughed, then
picked up Bura & carried her inside the ship, then backed up, accidently smashing the ship into
the front of Capsule Corp.
Icebox looked out her rearview window to see the large gapeing hole in the building,
" Oh foo! I just had this thing waxed. " she growled, then punched the gas pedal & flew off.
2 Hours later...
" Hey Goten, what're you doing in my parent's mailbox? " Mirai Trunks asked as he
peeked inside the mailbox at the small boy.
" Playing hide-n-seek with Bura. I think I'm winning. " Goten whispered.
" I think you're stuck. "
" Yeah, that too. "
" So, " Mirai said, " Need some help? "
" Could you? "
" Sure. " he nodded, then pulled his sword out of it's case & swung it about a couple
practice times as Goten felt his blood run cold, " Ok, you ready? Goten? Goten? " he stared at
Goten for a second, then noticed he was now unconsious, " Maybe next time I should just use my
swiss army knife instead. " Mirai mentally made a note of it, then yanked Goten out of the
mailbox and headed turned around towards Capsule Corp. Mirai's eyes widened, " Oh, my, God... "
his jaw dropped to the ground, " WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HOUSE!!! " he dropped Goten unintentionally
to the ground & ran to the large hole at where used to be an entire wall, " Oh crap... "
" 210 DEGREES FAHENHEIGHT!!! " Bulma gasped, " VEGETA! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! " she gasped
as she looked at the thermometer, " If your temperature was 210 degrees you'd be DEAD! "
" Not if you're a saiyajin. " Vegeta smirked, then cried out in pain, his face turning
green again.
" Hey Mom? " Mirai stuck his head in the doorway.
" Trunks, quick! Get your father a trashcan before he throws up on the new carpeting. "
" Huh? OH! " Mirai said, then rushed out of the room & returned with the object, handing
it to his mother.
" Here Vegeta, use this. " Bulma said, giving Vegeta the trash can.
" For WHAT! "
" Uhg! Nevermind Vegeta, just go to sleep, I'm going to find out what exactly is wrong
with you. "
Mirai walked over to Vegeta, " Dad? " he said in a concerned voice.
" What. " Vegeta said.
" I just, wanna let you know, that, uhm, if you don't pull through, well,
what I wanna say is--if you croak can I keep your boots? "
" GET OUT!!! " Vegeta yelled angrily as he sat up, & grabbed one of his boots off of
the floor & chucked it at Mirai's head, " GET OUT NOW!!!! "
" WAH!!! " Mirai ran out of the room & closed the door behind him as he heard Vegeta's
other boot hit the back of the door, " I should know better that. " he scholded himself.
" What happened to you? " Bulma asked Mirai as she climbed back up the stairs holding a
needle that was pointing downward.
" Dad got mad at me. He MUST be sick, he didn't even ki blast me, he just threw his
stuff at me instead. " Mirai Trunks explained.
" Oh? Well, as soon as I take a blood sample from him I'll be able to take it back down
to the lab & find out what's wrong with him.
" A needle? Isn't he scared of those? "
" No, that's Goku, Trunks. " Bulma corrected Mirai as she opened the door to see a very
cross looking Vegeta laying on the bed, staring up at the ceiling.
" Oh Veggie-chan? " Bulma said slyly, holding the needle behind her as Vegeta glanced at
her, then at Mirai who was peeking in at the doorway.
" If that brat wants to apoligize tell him to get down on his knees and beg, then
MAYBE I'll forgive him. " Vegeta smirked, " I am the saiyajin no ouji, my health is not to be
made fun of! "
" Yes, of course it is--err, isn't. " Bulma said soothingly, then behind her back took
the cap off of the needle.
" You're agreeing with me, what are you up too? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow.
" Oh, I just want to take your temperature, that's all. " Bulma lied.
" You just did, remember. " Vegeta narrowed his eyes.
Bulma thought for a moment, " VEGETA! LOOK! BURA'S KISSING GOTEN!!! " she yelled as
Vegeta turned towards the window in a panic as Bulma stuck the needle in his arm.
"LITTLE B-CHAN!!!!! WHERE IS THAT KAKO-BRAT! I'LL KILL HIM!! I'LL BLAST HIM SO HARD HIS
BODY'LL EXPLODE!!! " Vegeta screamed furiously, " What a minute, we're upstairs, we can't see
anyone from here! " he said, then looked to his left to see the needle draining the blood from
his arm. Vegeta pailed, then screamed in fright.
" AAH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! " he yelped, frightened, " GET THAT OUT OF ME NOW! "
Bulma pulled the needle out, " There. Now I can find out what you're sick with. "
" My arm... " Vegeta said, staring at his left arm, which now had a small hole in it,
tiny amounts of blood dripping out of it, " Dang. " he rubbed it, which caused his arm to hurt
more, " ONNA!! "
" What? "
" Could you send B-chan up here with a bandaid, not that I need one of your baka earth
bandages, my arm doesn't even hurt at all, but I just want B-chan to come up here. " Vegeta said,
then grabbed his arm in pain.
" Well, I have to test this, but Mirai could go get her. " Bulma said.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, " YOU BETTER BRING HER HERE FAST OR I'LL BIG BANG YOU ACROSS
THE PLANET! "
" Hai. " Mirai said nervously, then ran down the stairs, followed by Bulma, " Wow,
Toussan's really grumpy when he's sick. "
" Trunks, if that's true then you father was born sick. " Bulma said dryly, " And I doubt
there's any cure for what he's got. "
"Diarrea? "
" No, an ego the size of texas. " Bulma sighed, then walked down to the lab as Trunks
headed into the kitchen and noticed a note on the table.
He grabbed it & picked it up, " Dear Prince Vegeta, I have taken the liberty of removing
your young from her current place of residence, that is, if you were to look for her in her
normal habitiual places of residence, you would not find her, for I have taken her, that is to
say I have kidnapped her. If you wish to lay eyes upon your child again you AND Kakorotto must
battle and defeat me together. "
Trunks raised an eyebrow, confused, " Huh? "
He looked down at the bottom of the letter, " In terms your monkey-like minds can
comprened, I stole your daughter & won't give her up without a fight....Oh, ok--OH NO!!! " he
screamed, " Bura's been kidnapped! " he shrieked, " Who would do such a thing! "
" 'Your friendly neighborhood ice-jin, Icebox; sister of the great lord Freezer...
FREEZER'S SISTER! "
" THAT LITTLE JERK! " Bulma grumbled as she walked out of the lab, " A COLD! ALL YOUR
FATHER HAS IS A BLASTED COLD!...oh my God did I just use the word "blasted" in a sentence! "
Bulma went pale, " OH HE'S REALLY GONNA GET IT THIS TIME!!!! "
" Muh, Mom. " Mirai said weakly.
" WHAT, I mean, what is it Trunks? "
" Look at this. " he said, handing the letter to Bulma, who read it, then gasped.
" Oh no, poor Bura..."
" Poor US! Can you imagine what'll happen when Toussan finds out his "precious, perfect
little princess", has been kidnapped! "
" Well, you're about to find out. " Bulma said as Trunks turned back to see Vegeta
leaning against the staircase, his eyes still bloodshot, his hair messed up and a pale, shocked
look on his face.
" Vegeta what are you doing out of bed! I told you to stay there! " Bulma shouted as
Vegeta continued to stare into space.
" Freeza's sister kidnapped my B-chan... " he said, a glazed look in his eyes.
" Don't worry Vegeta, it's not as bad as it sounds. " Bulma said, trying to keep him
calm.
" I'LL DESTROY HER! NO BAKAYARO STEALS _MY_ DAUGHTER AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!! WHERE
DID THAT FOOL GO! I'LL BLAST HER RIGHT NOW!!!! " Vegeta screamed, enraged as he went SSJ2, then
powered back down & collapsed to the ground.
" Vegeta, you need to rest! " Bulma protested as Vegeta sat up on his knees.
" NEVER! I REFUSE TO REST UNTIL B-CHAN IS SAFE! "
" Well you won't be until you get some medicine in you. I'm going down to the market to
buy some COLD medicine for you AND IF YOU AREN'T IN BED BY THE TIME I COME BACK I DON'T CARE HOW
SICK YOU ARE YOU'LL BE SLEEPING ON THE COUCH! " Bulma yelled as Vegeta sneered, then lubbed back
upstairs to his room & closed the door behind him.
" Mom, " Trunks asked as Bulma headed for the front door--uh, hole in the wall, " Aren't
you worried about Bura too? You seem kinda calm. "
" Come on Trunks, if she's anything like Freeza, Goku will defeat her easily. Besides,
his power level is in the zillions somewhere by now. " Bulma reassured her son.
" Well, I guess. " Trunks said as Bulma got in her car, " But, how strong is this guy? "
" That jerk! Acting like he's going to die and all he has is a stupid cold! " Bulma
grumbled as she pushed the cart down the medicine eisle at the supermarket, then picked up some
cold medicine & put it in the cart, " Now where the heck are the tissues? " she said, still
slightly aggrivated from before.
" I know! " a voice from behind her said as Bulma turned around to see the figure.
" VEGETA! But how..oh, I get it! YOU WEREN'T REALLY SICK AT ALL! YOU JUST DID THAT FOR
ATTENTION DIDN'T YOU! " she growled as the figure in front of her cocked his head & smiled.
" Oh Bulma, I'm not-- "
" HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME! YOU REALLY HAD ME WORRIED VEGETA! " she yelled,
grabbing the figure by the collar of his sweater & holding him up, " YOU WON'T BE SMILING WHEN
I'M DONE WITH YOU! "
" But...Bulma...I'm not..Vegeta... " he said, strangled. Bulma looked him up & down for
a minute, then dropped him.
" Oh, jeez, I'm sorry. You just looked so much like my husband that I-- "
" You forgot these! " the figure said happily as he snapped his fingers causing the box
of tissues Bulma was looking for to appear in his hands.
" ...YOU! " she gasped, backing up.
" You do remember! I'm so happy! " Veggy smiled, handing her the box.
" I did think the idea of Vegeta wearing a sweater & khakis was kinda weird. " Bulma
said to herself.
" So, is there anything else you need help with? " Veggy said hopefully.
" Uh, no, not really, maybe a some Pepsi, but other than tha-- " Bulma stopped in mid
sentence to see a six-pack of Pepsi cans in her hands. She looked up at Veggie suspicously, who
grinned at her, making her feel uneasy, " Well, I, gotta go now. Ok? " she said, putting the
cans in her shopping-cart.
" BYE! " he said cheerfully, then hugged her & skipped down to the next eisle, whistling
happily.
" He makes me thankful Vegeta's the way he is. " Bulma said, brushing off her jacket,
" Eew. "
" Did you get something on your jacket Bulma? I could take it back to my house & wash it
for you! " Veggy said eagerly as he peeked around the corner.
" No, thanks. " Bulma said, " It's fine, REALLY. " she said quickly, then rushed to the
cashier, paid for her things & ran out of the supermarket.
Veggy watched Bulma's car pull away, then scratched his head, " Gee, I wonder what got
into her? "
" AHHH!! AHHHH! AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! " Vegeta wailed
in pain as he lay under the covers.
" Wow, he can scream pretty loud can't he. " Goku said as he, Trunks, Goten, & Gohan
watched Vegeta from across the room, " Man, I NEVER wanna get sick. "
Vegeta slowly turned his head to Goku, " Kakorot, if I could reach you I would hurt
you! "
" ATTENTION! " a voice from the TV across from them shouted as the 4 sayiajin turned
their heads to see a familiar face sneering back at them.
" Freeza? " Goku said, confused as the figure stepped to the left to reveal Bura in a
large cage behind her.
" AHH! B-CHAN! " Vegeta yelped as his heart froze.
" That must be Icebox. " Trunks said.
Vegeta snarled, " I DON'T CARE WHO THAT IS HE HAS B-CHAN!!! " his ki rose as Vegeta tried
desprately to get out of bed.
" Greetings Vegeta, Kakorot, how are you. " Icebox smirked.
" I'm good! " Goku raised his hand.
" Me too! " Goten added.
" DIE!!! " Vegeta tossed several ki-blast at the TV as Trunks tried franticly to devert
them.
" Child, would you care to say something to "Daddy"? " Icebox said menicingly as she
held up a microphone to Bura, who looked up helplessly.
" PAPA HELP ME! " she cried as Vegeta felt his heart sink.
" Don't worry B-chan! I'll help you! " he said as he leaned towards the TV.
" Please don't leave me! " Bura's eyes watered.
" HI BURA! " Goten said stupidly as Bura switched moods again.
" HI GOTEN! " she said happily.
" Guess what! I got my head caught in your mailbox! " Goten said proudly.
Icebox rolled her eyes, " Good for you. " she said sarcasticlly.
" That's nothin! " Goku said to Goten, " Once I was takin a bath in the garbage can
outside out house & I got stuck cuz I ate too much fish the day before. It took Chi-Chi three
house to get me out with a flamethrower. Wanna see the scar? "
Goten smiled, " Ok! "
" SHUDDAP!!! " Icebox screamed, " No one cares about your scar. I came here to announce a
two on one tormement between you two and me. I feared that your puny saiyajin brains would not be
able to comprehend the written word so I wanted to make sure you understand me. I am here to
avenge my brother Freeza by defeating the two that led to his demise. If you defeat me, which
you won't, I will reward you by returning the princess. When I defeat you, which I will, I shall
send you to my torture chamber where you will spend the rest of your miserable days. The
tormement shall begin in a week. In the mean time I'll take care of your daughter here Vegeta.
Sayonnora. " Icebox said, then the TV when blank.
" Two-on-one tormement? " Gohan said, confused.
" Yeah, the note said that she wants them to battle her together. " Trunks said, handing
Gohan the note.
" It's the buddy system! " Goku chimed in.
" ME! Fight WITH Kakorot! " Vegeta gasped, " THAT'S MADNESS! I WILL NEVER FIGHT
ALONGSIDE THAT BAKA! "
" How CAN you? You can't even get out of that bed, nonetheless battle against some
monster. " Gohan concluded.
" But if Vegeta can't fight, how're we gonna save Bura? " Goku said, baffled.
" Hai, you heard Kakorot! I MUST fight! " Vegeta shouted.
" Yeah, what'll happen to her if they don't. " Goten said.
" ... " Vegeta went off into a daydream...
:::"HAHAHA!" Icebox laughed maniaclly as she took the top off of a plate to reveal
several slabs of cooked meat, one of the slices with a small burnt tail sticking out of it,
then ate it, " Now isn't she sweet! MUHAHAHAHA:::
" WAHH! " Vegeta cried, " SHE'S GONNA EAT B-CHAN!!! " he burst into tears as the others
stared at him oddly.
" Poor Veggie. " Goku said, then snapped his fingers & walked over to Vegeta & hugged
him, " Aww, don't worry little buddy! We'll save her! "
Vegeta narrowed his eyes at Goku, " DON'T TOUCH ME! " he sent a ki-blast at Goku,
knocking him into the wall.
" We won't be able to get Bura back unless BOTH Goku AND Vegeta fight her. " Gohan sighed
as Bulma appeared in the doorway.
" I think I may have found a solution. " she smirked, " I'm not sure you'll like it,
but I have one. "
" SPEAK ONNA! TELL ME NOW!!! " Vegeta yelled.
" SHUT UP VEGETA! " Bulma yelled back, " Okay guys, I figure that since you're sick,
all we need is someone to fight in your place. "
" Nice try Onna, but in case you didn't notice, there's only one of me. " Vegeta smirked.
" Thank God. " Bulma said under her breath, " Well, actually Vegeta, you're only half
right. " she said, then stepped aside to reveal a short familiar figure next to her, " Look who
I found. "
Mirai shrieked, " OH NO! IT CAN'T BE! IT, it, it just CAN'T! "
" HI MIRAI! " Veggy chirped happily, " Didja miss me! " he said as he pulled his duster
out from behind his back.
Mirai felt his head spin, " ohhh. " he cried, then fainted.
Veggy walked over to Mirai, then looked up innocently at the others.
" What's wrong with him? "
