Author's Note: I'm back!  Have you noticed I don't update my stories regularly?  I'd detest them if I did that ^_^ I have to wait for inspiration to hit before I do another chapter of anything, I tried not doing that with a story once and I got complaints of how it was slowly getting worse and more sloppy-looking with each chapter and I eventually lost all my readers because I'd just never wait for something good to present itself to me, something inspirational…so I decided it'd be much better to wait until I want to do a chapter…so if it takes me a long time to get a chapter of anything out, I haven't abandoned you!  I'm just waiting for inspiration!

Heero: * rolls eyes * You readers are lucky you don't have to be around when she looks for "inspiration" it can be bad for your sanity.

Me: * glares at Heero * I can send you to you-know-who anytime and get another Muse…you DO know that right Hee-chan?

Heero: * Pales * You WOULDN'T!

Me: Or would I?

Heero: Hn.  * Gives the Yuy Death Glare ™ *

Me: Sorry, that doesn't faze me, but I think you scared a few reviewers away…* glares at Heero with an exact copy of the Yuy Death Glare ™ *

Heero: * sits down and mutters something *

Me; Ok…you guys have listened to our ramblings long enough, on with the story!

Disclaimer: As stated in the previous chapter I own Dumb Bearded Zebras ™ but not Dragonball Z ™.  Does anyone want to trade with me?  If you do I'll also throw in this nice Mirai Trunks * holds the freaked out looking Mirai up for all to see *

 If you recall in our last chapter, Freiza is on the rampage again and Dende is presented with the dilemma of if he should bring back Bardock or King Vegeta, we now join him to see what the decision is:

"…My mommy said to pick the very best one and you are it," Dende opened his eyes and found himself pointed at Piccolo…so King Vegeta was going to be making a trip to the living world (Though, there's about a 50% chance I'll find an excuse to bring Bardock in later on in the story…I'd appreciate it if someone could give me Bardock characterization tips, I'm desperately in need of them! * hint, hint *).

"What was this about, Dende?" Piccolo demanded

Dende completely ignored him, you'd think by now he'd be wiser than to know to ignore Piccolo but he felt contacting King Yemma was more important, 'King Yemma, I have my decision!'

'What is it?' asked King Yemma exasperatedly, Freiza had already begun his terror and the poor guy was getting a little over whelmed at the sudden line of souls to be judged on what was previously a slow day.

'King Vegeta.'

King Yemma blinked and looked a little uncomfortable, 'Are you sure Dende?  He can be quite difficult to deal with and you'd probably be better off with Bardock.'

This was just more the reason for Dende to want King Vegeta, even though the world was in danger Dende still wanted to get some humor out of the situation and bringing back the more temperamental and difficult of the 2 choices he had would probably result in the most humor, 'Yeah, that what doing eenie meenie miny moe said…unless you'd be gracious enough to let me bring both back?' Dende was taking a long shot but he still believed that he could get King Yemma to do his bidding.

Unfortunately King Yemma heard Dende's thoughts and decided against what he was about to consent to, 'No Dende!  Unless the situation gets VERY serious than I will not let you bring back another person…er Saiyan!'

'Psh.  Party pooper-I mean…mean person who wants Earth to be destroyed!' Dende couldn't let King Yemma catch on that he was the one who had caused Freiza's "homecoming"(Is it just me or does that sound unbelievably gay?).

'Give it up Dende.  I know exactly what you did because there isn't any other culprit, I also want you to know that after this problem is solved I'm revoking your godly powers for a month and having Piccolo fill in for you,' and to himself King Yemma added, 'If he does a good job while filling in for that prankster Dende, then I should probably just leave him on the job.'

Piccolo, who somehow knew King Yemma was saying something about him becoming the new Kami-Sama of Earth was devastated by the news…if that happened then his inner Kami would come out of hibernation and tell him everything he should do.  Piccolo shivered at the thought, he didn't WANT any old Namek guy telling him what he should and shouldn't do, it was then and there that he made the decision to go move in with Gohan and Videl if he could confirm that King Yemma had indeed been talking about him.

'Well, are you going to send King Vegeta or what?' asked Dende.

'Yeah Dende, just wait 10 seconds and I'll have him there.'

'Ok, thanks!'

When Dende got out of his conversation he was immediately grabbed by Piccolo and shook around a bit, "Just what exactly is going on Dende?!"

"You'll see in…10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1!" Dende counted, nothing happened.  Dende counted again, nothing happened again.  Dende tried it one last time since third time's the charm and some really fat weirdo appeared on the lookout.

"Uh…who are you?" asked Dende in a somewhat worried tone.

"Oh me?  I'm Billy Bubba, I saw this prettyful shiny thing and I went down it and that red guy up there started say "NOOOOOOOOO!" for some reason.

Dende smacked his head, "Uh…was anyone WITH the "red guy"," asked Dende.

"Yessire there was a guy with real gelled up looking hair, a long red cape and a tail!"

Dende smacked his head, why him, oh Kami, why him?  Oh wait, he WAS Kami, and yet he had no clue why this was happening.  Dende sighed, life just wasn't fair to him.

"Dende," Mr. Popo glanced at the sighing Namekian, "would you mind explaining why King Yemma would be sending anyone out of the afterlife to here?"

"I can't tell you."

"Why not?" Piccolo then snarled at Dende showing off his pearly white fangs (ooh…).

"Because…because," Dende broke down into sniffles, "you're going to take me back to Namek and find someone else for the job if I tell you and I won't get anymore neat magazines!" Dende then burst into sobs and pounded the floor of the lookout while saying in-between sobs, "Why me?  Why is it ALWAYS me?!!?  Does the author just want to torture me senselessly (A/N: * whistles innocently * Who?  Me?  You're joking right?)?"

"So, you got anything to eat?" asked Billy Bubba completely ignoring the sobbing, seemingly deeply disturbed youth on the ground.

"I can take you to Karin's Tower," offered Mr. Popo.

"Alright, as long as I get something decent to eat, I mean, being dead for 200 years gives you an appetite."

Piccolo eyes this man suspiciously, "Exactly how did you die?"

"I tried to steal some food from a store and the police shot in the back of the head."

"Why would they shoot you for something like that?" asked Mr. Popo, poor Dende, everyone was ignoring him as he poured his heart out on the floor (Not literally mind you!)

"Because there was a famine going on since I'd cleared so much food," Billy Bubba replied, "So can you take me to the food you mentioned?"

"Uh…sure," said Mr. Popo with a sweatdrop.

Dende groaned, great, some guy who could cause a famine, what was THAT supposed to do for his humor and against Freiza?

But then, in a brilliant flash of light, like the one they had seen before, King Vegeta appeared in all his glory.

Well, that was just a lame filler chapter I guess * sweatdrops *  Things should get a bit better for the next chapter and remember: Bardock Characterization Tips!
