Quote of the Week: Vegeta- (thinking to himself) "Heh-heh-heh, look at Kakarrot, all worried. Well _I'M_ the one
he should be worried about."

Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Just another example of how crazy & obsessive Veggie really is.
Vegeta: I am NOT crazy and obsessive just because I talk to myself about Kakarrot a lot and--(glares at Chu, who's
snickering at him) OH SHUT UP!

Chuey's Corner:
Goku: (singing) (cheerfully) Happy birthday to you!
Chuquita: (also singing) Happy birthday to me!
Vegeta: (grumbling) Hphybirfaychsma..
Chuquita: Happy birthday to me! [blows out the candles just as Goku stabs a fork into the cake]
Goku: [shoves the piece of chocolate cake in his mouth] Yummy!
Chuquita: [eating her own slice] Mmm-hmm!
Goku: I love chocolate!
Vegeta: (turns to Chu) (suspicous) Chuquita isn't your REAL name, is it?
Chuquita: Hmm? (blinks; then laughs) Of course not! Silly Veggie, it's a pen name.
Vegeta: (smirks) Is your real name so bad that you had to make up another one?
Chuquita: (snorts) No! (grins) In FACT, my actual name comes from a greek word meaning 'Victorious One'!
Vegeta: Are you greek?
Chuquita: No.
Vegeta: Then why is your name from...[Chu stares at him blankly] (groans) ...why do I even bother.
Goku: (to Chu) Is it Mildred?
Chuquita: What?
Goku: Is your real name Mildred?
Chuquita: (offended) NO IT'S NOT "MILDRED"! IT BEGINS WITH AN "L"!!
Goku: ...Lildred?
Chuquita: AAUGH!!! [slams her head down on the desk]
Vegeta: (chuckles) Ahh, Kakarrot you ARE entertaining.
Goku: (w/big sparkily eyes) Really Veggie?
Vegeta: (gulps) (nervously) Yes, yes you are. Now stop looking at me like that it makes me hyperventilate!
Goku: Like an air-conditioner?
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) (dryly) Yes Kakarrot, like an air-conditioner.
Goku: (enlightened) Ohhhh. A-MAZING!
Chuquita: (happily) Present time!
Goku: YAY! PRESENTS!
Chuquita: (flatly) For ME, you dunderhead, not you.
Goku: (sadly) Aww..
Chuquita: (smiles) Don't worry Son-San, we'll celebrate your birthday later. So! What'dja get me?
Goku: (grins & holds out a poorly wrapped present)
Chuquita: OOH! [rips the wrapping paper to pieces, then sweatdrops] [holding up the present] A bag of potato chips?
Goku: They were on sale! (cheesy grin) 2 for 1! [holds up another similarly wrapped present]
Vegeta: HAHAHAHAHAHA! [glares at Goku] When _MY_ birthday comes up Kakarrot you better buy ME something truely wonderful
and spectaculous! And I don't mean greasy snacks!
Goku: (bottom lip wobbles) But I like greasy snacks.
Chuquita: (laughs nervously) Don't worry Son-kun, I'm sure you meant well. [drops the chips onto the desk] What about you
Veggie? What did YOU get me on my day of days?
Vegeta: (proud of himself) Nothing.
Chuquita: WHAT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOTHING!
Vegeta: You don't deserve a present for what you've done to me in the past; besides, your birthday's offically over already.
Chuquita: [pulls out her Big Book of Author Spells] (grumbling) Ooh you little...
Goku: [points to the B.B.O.A.S.] (smiling) Hey, I haven't seen that in a while.
Chuquita: It's because we've been having special guests from your show for the past couple fics. [goes back to scanning her
book] Now let's see, what should I do to him now? A-HA!
Vegeta: (now a pale green color) A-ha?
Chuquita: (sing-song voice) Oh Veh-GEE? [holds her pointer finger up to zap him] You better duck!
Vegeta: AHH! NO DON'T!
Chuquita: [zaps him] [smoke clears]
Goku: [looking down at the object, confused] A pillow?
Chuquita: Short & simple.
Goku: (grins) Just like Veggie! [picks up the white Veggie-pillow] Awwww, it's so cute! [hugs the pillow, which turns a
bright red color] WOW! A pillow that blushes when you hug it! Kewl! [gets up, still hugging the pillow]
Chuquita: (bewildered) Where are YOU going?
Goku: To take a nap with my BRAND NEW Veggie-Pillow! I'll see you after the fic, Chu-sama! [leaves]
Chuquita: ....riiight. (sweatdrops)


Summary: Sick of being broke, Chi-Chi enters a cooking contest--and wins! Now she's been given her own cooking show, not
to mention loads of cash to go with it. But now her job is taking away the time she spends with Goku and the others and
giving him more alone time then he cares to have. How will she choose between her dream job w/millions of dollars and her
family? And how will she keep Vegeta from stealing Goku if she's not there to stop him?
*****************************************************************************************************************************

" Ohhhhh, " Chi-Chi moaned as she opened her eyes to see three blurry figures staring down at her. Her vision
adujsted to reveal Goku, Vegeta, and Dr. Fartknocker, " What, happened? "
" You won the contest Chi-chan! " Goku squealed, " Isn't that great! "
" Contest?....THE CONTEST! I WON! " Chi-Chi grinned, leaping to her feet, " Oh Goku I did it! " she hugged him, " I
did it I did it I did it! We'll both FILTHY RICH! " she hugged tighter.
" A-HEM! " a voice above them snorted. Chi-Chi looked up to see Vegeta sitting on Goku's shoulders and glaring
jealously at her.
" What's the LEECH doing up there. " she said to Goku while giving a dirty look to the ouji.
" Veggie couldn't see the contest cuz he's too short so I let him ride on my shoulders! " Goku said happily, " And
ya know what? He's a lot less heavier than I expected! "
Chi-Chi pushed her hand out towards Vegeta, knocking him off the bigger saiyajin's shoulders & onto the ground,
" There, better. " she rubbed her hands together.
" WHY YOU... " Vegeta growled at her, then smirked, " Fine, if THAT is how you're going to treat your husband's
RULER then I guess you'll just have to bum a ride home from somebody else. "
" We won't need to, ouji-boy. " Chi-Chi smiled in satisfaction, " In fact, we can ride our private jet home, right
Goku? "
" But Chi-chan, we don't have a private jet. " Goku said, confused.
Chi-Chi pulled a clump of money out of their winnings, " Wanna buy one? "



" WOOOOOOO!!!! " Goku whooped as he hung his head out of the window of their brand new jet that was currently
speeding its way towards their home, " THIS IS EVEN BETTER THAN VEGGIE'S LIMO!! "
" _AND_ way more expensive. " Chi-Chi said happily, " Oh this is so wonderful I can't believe it's happening! " she
layed back in her chair, " From now on we're going to have only the best! No more cleaning house for me and no more picking
up messes for you! "
" Can we get Veggie to pick up my messes? " Goku said anxiously.
" Sure! " Chi-Chi gave him a thumbs-up sign, then froze as she went into a frightening daydream.
:::Heeheeheehee, " the ouji giggled as he went through a mess Goku had made as was carefully putting each item into
plastic baggies and then tossing them into a larger bag labelled obsession, " AH-HAHAHA, that stupid onna, how NAIVE of her
to give me ready access to all of this WONDERFUL Kako-memorabilia. Oh joy! " an excitable grin covered his face, " Kakarrot's
underwear! " Vegeta sniffed it, " Boxers too! Thank you Chi-Chi. " he let out an evil smirk:::
" Veggie wouldn't do that! " Goku exclaimed.
" Really? " Chi-Chi said flatly.
" Nope. " Goku nodded, then grinned, " He'd ask me first! "
" GAH! " Chi-Chi fell down, animé style, " Well, then what would YOUR version of Vegeta do that position? "
Goku grinned again as the scene faded out...
:::Goku & Vegeta sat infront of the television set in Goku's messy bedroom in their pajamas and stuffing their faces
with fish chips.
" I LOVE FISH! Don't you little buddy! " Goku said, a doofy smile on his face.
" Yes I do, big buddy! " Vegeta responded with an equally stupid expression. The duo laughed at the TV screen, " AH-
-HAHAHAHAHAHA! "
" Take that Mojo! " Goku cheered the TV.
Vegeta threw his arms up in the air & cheered with him, " GO BUBBLES! ":::
" Yeah...that'd be GREAT! " Goku said, coming out of his daydream.
" What planet are YOU living on? " Chi-Chi raised an eyebrow.
" Obviously not the same one as you. " Goku scratched his head. The couple yelped as the plane screeched to a halt.
" We're BACK! " Goku said, hopping out the window of the plane & onto the grass before his house. Chi-Chi met him
through the door.
" Hmm, Now that we're TREMENDOUSLY WEALTHY, I think we should make some changes to the house. " Chi-Chi said.
" Really? Like what? "


" OOH! I LOVE IT! " Chi-Chi clasped her hands together as they stood infront of the HUGE mansion that was now
connected to their previous home, " It's my DREAM home! " she sighed with big sparkily eyes, then pulled out an old yellowed
paper & showed it to Goku, who was standing next to her, " I've had it mapped out for YEARS; waiting for Gohan to become a
rich and famous scholar and make us lots and lots of money, but now I don't have to wait! "
" Does that mean I'm FREE? " Gohan stuck his head out the window, grinning widely.
" NO! NOW GET YOUR HEAD BACK INSIDE THERE BEFORE THE WINDOW PANE FALLS DOWN AND CHOPS YOUR HEAD OFF, GOHAN! IT'S
DANGEROUS! " Chi-Chi shouted.
" Yes Kaasan. " Gohan groaned.
Chi-Chi & Goku entered the house. Chi-Chi let out a sigh of happiness. They hadn't seen Vegeta in 3 weeks; mostly
because Chi-Chi had installed an electrical shield outside the house along with a barred fence that was more than twice the
prince's size. She had seen him staring at them in their new home in a lonesome manner from behind the bars and electric
fence from time to time, but that only made her victory seem all the sweeter. She was also pleasantly surprised Goku hadn't
missed the ouji too much, which made her wonder if Vegeta hadn't been communicating with him telepathically due to the fact
that he couldn't get inside their home to talk to Goku.
" Lalalalalalala-whowhowhowhowhowho-fa la la la la! " Goku sang as he bounced up and down on his new heated waterbed.
He had spent more time bouncing on the bed than sleeping on it.
" Goku? Do you miss Vegeta? " Chi-Chi asked.
" Who? "
Chi-Chi felt herself grin widely. She changed the subject, " Where would you like to go for vacation this weekend?
London or Paris? "
" Mmm? " Goku stopped bouncing, " Both! " he raised his hand.
" Good choice! " Chi-Chi replied.
" *DING-A-LING-A-LING-DONG*! " the fancy new doorbell rang out.
" I wonder who that could be? " Chi-Chi said, baffled that someone had managed to get past her expensive security
system. She went over to one of the giant white quartz doors leading into the mansion and opened it.
" Hello? Are you Son Chi-Chi? " the man at the door said.
" Yes. " Chi-Chi said, confused.
" I'm Larry P. Money; I represent FoodNetwork. Our judges were so impressed with your culinary abilities that we're
offering to give you your own cooking show at our station. You'll be rich AND famous! " the man said.
" How much are they offering me? " Chi-Chi said suspiously.
Larry pulled out a little piece of paper and unwrapped it, causing it to roll out onto the floor and halfway into
the Sons' hallway.
" Look at all those 0's.... " Chi-Chi trailed off in a daze.
" So? What do you say-- "
" --I'LL TAKE IT! " she grabbed the little piece of paper, " Where do I sign? "
" The contracts are down at the studio, we'll drive you there. " he pointed to his car. Chi-Chi pointed to her limo.
" Allow me. " she smiled, then shouted back into the house, " GOKU, I'M GOING TO BE GONE FOR A COUPLE HOURS HONEY!
WILL YOU BE ALRIGHT? "
" Oh-kay Chi-Chi! Bye-bye! " Goku waved to her from the waterbed.


5 hours later.
" Ohhh, Chi-chan where are you? " Goku pouted sadly, hanging over the side of his water bed, depressed, " This big
house in no fun to play in without someone to play WITH. " he whined, then heard the doorbell and bolted to attention.
" CHI-CHAN'S HOME! " he squealed, then ran to the the front door and looked through the peephole, which was connected
to a gigantic camera positioned just outside the electric shield and barred fence. He peered at the small figure through
the hole, " Chi-chan? " he blinked, trying to place the figure. Goku unwittingly let down the defense system. The figure
grinned widely as it made a bee-line for the front door, then started banging it's hand on it repeatedly.
The door flung open, smashing the figure into the wall, " Hello? " Goku called out, " Hello? Who is it? Hmm... " he
shrugged, then closed the door again.
The figure lept to his feet and knocked more aggressively. He cringed as Goku opened the door again, but stopped when
he noticed the saiyajin had only opened it a crack, enough for him to see out. The figure faintly smiled at him through its
bloodshot eyes.
Goku gasped, then put the door completely open to see a familiar face, one who looked like he hadn't eaten in 3
weeks, " Oh my---VEGGIE?! " he shrieked at the ouji's condition, " Oh Veggie lookit you! " he said in shock, " Come here and
give your big buddy a--OFFHA! " Goku yelped as Vegeta flew at him, knocking him to the floor and hugging onto the bigger
saiyajin tightly, " Veggie I'm sorry, what happened to you? " he sat up, worried.
" I, I, I---KAKAYYYYY!!! " he wailed, hugging tighter, " I heard that mean witch lady threw you in the dungeon and
left you there forever and I'd never see you again!!!! "
" Vegeta, we don't have a dungeon? " Goku said, raising an eybrow.
The ouji paused, " Oh...so you don't... "
" Were did you get THAT crazy idea? "
" ...in my head. "
Goku sweatdropped, " You know what little buddy? How about if we go eat some pastries and then you tell me why you
came to see me, huh? "
Vegeta sniffled, " Oh-kay Kaka-chan.. "



" So, Veggie, what've you been up to these past 3 weeks? " Goku asked as they sat in the kitchen. Vegeta was stuffing
his face and was now almost to the point of his peak health again.
" Hmm? " Vegeta looked up just as he shoved his 54th muffin down his throat. The same pouty look as before covered
his face and Goku feared he was about to burst into tears again.
" Veggie? " Goku encouraged him.
" WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I thought you almost disappeared off the face of the Earth! Oh Kaka-chan it was horrible!
I couldn't eat! I couldn't sleep! All I did was plot, and plan, and SCHEME different ideas, ANY ideas, that could free you
from this BILLION DOLLAR PRISON and that EVIL DEMON WOMAN and take you back home with me so I could go back to figuring out
how to destroy you. " he took a sip of his Pepsi, " I can't believe how much I missed your annoying Kako-presence in my
everyday life...did you miss me too? " Vegeta smiled hopefully.
" Well... " Goku thought back, " Actually Veggie, during just this past week, Chi-Chi and I have learned how to
handglide, ride motorcycles; we've been on two cruises--one to Jamaca, the other one to Hawaii, we've been to France and
Spain and Italy and did you know that in England they call french fries potato chips? Kooky huh? I asked Chi-chan that if
they call french fries potato chips then what do they call potato chips? French fries? " Goku babbled on, " OH! I've been
waiting forever to have somebody to talk to about all the great fun I've had! You know that waterbed of yours? Well Chi-Chi
bought me one last Thursday, only this one has a heater attached to it! I sleep with it at 82' degrees! " he finished,
delierously happy. He looked up at Vegeta and facefaulted to see the prince was once again on the near verge of tears.
" You don't like me anymore... " he trailed off, sobbing.
" NO! Veggie that's not true of course I still like you! It's just that I've busy doin all the this rich stuff-- "
" --with Chi-Chi. " Vegeta narrowed his eyes at Goku.
" Well, yeah, she IS the one who won us all that money. " Goku grinned.
::Of course, it's all clear now. That evil onna is using all that money to keep Kakarrot so entertained and having
so much fun that he would completely forget about ME and MY importance to him:: he snarled inwardly, his full stomach
allowing his brain to function properly again, " And just where IS Chi-Chi? " Vegeta looked around the room, suspicously.
Goku's expression saddened, " She went to go run and errand 5 hours ago and she still hasn't come back yet. "
The ouji smirked, then chuckled evilly, " Aww, did 'Chi-chan' run off and leave you Kakay? " he mocked
sympathetically.
" SHE DID NOT! " Goku gawked, " CHI-CHI WOULD _NEVER_ LEAVE ME! " he folded his arms stubbornly, " She loves me
Veggie and you know it! "
" You know _I_ enjoy your company too, Kakarrot. " Vegeta went on, " If you'd like, you could come back with me to
MY house and we could--umm--watch some TV or something. "
" But I have a TV even bigger than yours right here. " Goku said, pointing to the 8 foot tall wide screen in his
living room. Vegeta sweatdropped at the size of the set.
::It's HUGE! It must be the biggest television in the world!:: he thought in wonder, then shook it off, " I meant,
why don't we go do something at my home instead of here so that when Chi-Chi returns she doesn't lock your 'widdle buddy'
in the dungeon? "
" Veggie we don't HAVE a dungeon. " Goku scratched his head.
" Yeah, that's what SHE wants you to think. " Vegeta huffed, " It's all a big conspiracy Kakarrot. She's trying to
BRAINWASH you into thinking that having lots of, of, neat gadgets and giant TV sets and warm wiggly water beds and trips
around the world to exotic places are better than ME. "
Goku opened his mouth to say something, only to have Vegeta slap his hand over Goku's mouth.
" Please, whatever you were about to say--DON'T. " he glared at Goku, then pulled his hand away, " Now, getting to
point of my speech-- "
" --it has a point? "
Vegeta sent a death-glare towards him, " --TO THE POINT of my speech, you don't belong in this big high-class home.
Why, what does this place have that Capsule Corp doesn't? "
" My own inground fishing pond? " Goku grinned widely.
" This place has a fishing po--NO! " Vegeta said, getting back on track, " Kakarrot, tell me, does your home have its
own indoor SPA? "
" Spa? " Goku's eyes widened.
" With 'whirlypool' tubs? " Vegeta teased him.
" Whirlypooool? " Goku mused.
" Onna just had it finished a couple days ago. I can get you in FREE? "
A large smile engulfed Goku's face, " 'free'? "



" WOO-HOOHOOHOO! " Goku cheered as the whirlpool current carried him around and around in a circle at lightning
speed, " THIS IS GREAT!!! I have to remind Chi-Chi to buy us one. "
Vegeta walked into the room, grinning and holding a small tray with snacks on it, " I'm back Kaka--AHH! " he dropped
the tray to the ground and ran over to the control panel to the whirlpool and turned it back down to its normal speed.
" Veh-GEEE! " Goku whined.
" YOU IDIOT! ARE YOU _TRYING_ TO BREAK IT! " the ouji snapped at him.
" No... " Goku hung his head, then grabbed one of the snacks that had fallen onto the floor, picked it up, and ate
it. Vegeta stuck out his tongue in diqust.
" You...are a pig. "
" Oink! " Goku chirped, then leaned his elbows over the rim of the whirlpool tub, " Veggie wanna turn the TV on for
me? "
Vegeta sneered at him, then grabbed the remote and flicked on the TV. Goku's eyes instantly shifted from the snacks
on the floor to the snacks on the TV screen.
" Veggie look! It's the food station! " he said happily, pointing to the TV.
" ---and that's how you prepare a 10 layer chocolate and strawberry souffle! " a familiar voice said on the screen.
" And Chi-Chi?! " Vegeta gawked.
Goku did a double take, " She's making my desert--without me THERE! " he felt his stomach groan.
The ouji smirked, " Well well well, isn't this an interesting development. " he snickered.
" Why's Chi-chan on the TV, Veggie? " Goku looked back at him, worried, " She didn't tell me she was goin on TV. "
he sniffled.
" _I_ would have told you if _I_ was going on TV. " the ouji boasted, " AND _I_ would have brought you with me. "
" Hmm, I'm just gonna ask Chi-chan if I can be on the show when she gets home! " Goku concluded cheerfully. The
prince sweatdropped.
" You didn't hear a word I said, did you Kakarrot? " Vegeta grumbled.
" Nope! " Goku said, watching the TV, " Say, Veggie? What does 'filmed infront of a live studio audiance' mean? "
" Well Kakarrot, some shows are filmed a couple hours before they actually go on, meaning that this is airing AFTER
it had already taken place. " Vegeta explained.
" I guess that means Chi-Chi's probably just getting home by now, huh Veggie? " Goku smiled.
" Yes, I'd say she i---AHH! " Vegeta shrieked, " I'VE GOT TO GET YOU OUT OF HERE!!!! " he screamed in panic, grabbing
Goku by the arm & trying to lift him out of the tub, " IF SHE FINDS YOU HERE--AND IF SHE FINDS OUT I KIDNAPPED YOU--SHE'LL
KILL _ME_!! OR _WORSE_ she'll take you home to that gigantic prison and I'll never hear from you or see you EVER AGAIN! "
" Aww Veggie calm down! " Goku complained, pulling his arm away, " You were just being neighborly, besides, I'm not
done whirlpooling yet. " he pressed the button on the machine to make it go faster, " WHEE! "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " I think I'm starting to remember why I wanted to destory you in the first place... "


" Oh Go-ku! I'm home! " Chi-Chi said happily as she entered their mansion, " Wait'll you see this tape I made down at
Foodnetwork. They asked me to run a pilot episode and gave me a copy! If it goes over well with the viewers I get my own show
and I could have you co-host with me and-- " she froze in the hallway as a familiar lingering scent filled the area. Chi-Chi
narrowed her eyes, " That smell...it's the smell of--EVIL! " she gritted her teeth, stomping through the corridors, " ALRIGHT
WHERE ARE YOU! YOUR HORRIBLE STENCH ALONE TELLS ME YOU'RE HERE VEGETA! " Chi-Chi screamed, then peeked into the kitchen to
see the table covered in leftovers, " Or WERE here. " she narrowed her eyes at her kitchen. A thought flew threw her head
causing her to rush back down the hall to where she had left Goku. She flung open the door to his room and confirmed her
suspicions. The room was completely empty, " That ouji is SO dead. " she said flatly.


" VEGEEEEEEEEEEEETTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! "
" AHH! " the ouji screamed in fright.
" Chi-Chi's come to find me! " Goku said happily as he floated about in the whirlpool.
Vegeta quickly grabbed the whirlpool cover & flung it overtop of Goku and the whirlpool itself, " And she's not going
to! " he said, nervously determined.
" Veh-GEE, what are you doing?! " Goku said from underneath the whirlpool cover.
" SHH! Don't say a word until I tell you! Now be quiet! " Vegeta pushed Goku's head down far enough so it only
appeared a lump underneath the whirlpool cover. He stood erect just as an enraged figure walked into the doorway.
" Where is he. " Chi-Chi said bluntly, controling her fists at her sides from lundging at Vegeta and beating him to
a pulp.
" Where is who? " the ouji said in his most innocent voice.
Chi-Chi zipped infront of him, growling, " YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT! GOKU! WHERE IS HE? WHERE DID YOU PUT HIM!?
TELL ME _NOW_!!! " she grabbed Vegeta by the collar & held him up to her height.
" How would _I_ know, you've kept him in that PRISON of yours for so long maybe he got LOST in it! " Vegeta snorted
stubbornly.
" You broke into my house and stole him didn't you. " she glared.
" ...well, I wouldn't say BROKE IN or STOLE. " Vegeta looked over his shoulder, trying to keep away any eyecontact
with her.
" Then what WOULD you call it? "
" More like he LET me in and I OFFERED him to come back home with me. " Vegeta explained. Chi-Chi dropped him as he
instantly went into drama mode, " My poor little Kaka-nugget. He was so sad and lonely and depressed I couldn't stand to see
him that way! *sniff* We drowned our sorrows in greasy snack-food and then I asked him if he'd like to come over at MY house
and play with ME; seeing as his "Chi-chan" had left him ALL ALONE FOR 5 HOURS STRAIGHT! And he said he'd be delighted to and
told me how WONDERFUL I was and then we came in here and whirlpooled for a little bit and I haven't seen him since! " Vegeta
smiled.
::Veggie you big fat liar:: Goku narrowed his eyes from under the covering.
" Where is he now, then? " Chi-Chi said skeptically.
" I don't know, what do I look like, his personal secretary? " Vegeta crossed his arms.
Chi-Chi walked over to the whirlpool tub, " What's that lump? " she pointed at the object bulging from beneath the
cover.
" AHH! " Vegeta gasped, " The lump?! It's, it's well, it's one of those...those floating weights they keep in pools
to keep the cover from sinking, yeah, that's it. "
" Vegeta, you are the WORST liar I have EVER known. " Chi-Chi said with distaste, then ripped the cover off the tub.
" SURPRISE! " Goku cheered, temporarily stunning both Chi-Chi and Vegeta. He paused when he saw the frightened look
on Vegeta's face and the victorious one on Chi-Chi's, " ? " he cocked his head, then grinned, " HI CHI-CHI! "
" Goku what are you doing in there? "
" ...whirlling. "
" Whirlling? "
" Yeah, it's a whirlypool. You whirl in it. "
" ... "
" ... "
" Goku, we're going home. " Chi-Chi said, pointing her thumb in the direction of the exit door. Goku pouted.
" But Chi-chan I'm not done whirlling yet and-- "
" WE'RE GOING HOME!!! " she screamed at the top of her lungs.
" Yes, Chi-chan. " Goku hopped out of the tub. She grabbed his wrist and drug him towards the door, " Chi-Chan when
we get home I wanna whirlypool just like Veggie's only bigger and prettier and even faster too. "
" Alright Goku, we'll order you one when we get home. " Chi-Chi replied.
" REALLY CHI-CHAN?? " Goku's eyes sparkled, " Oh Chi-chan you are the greatest! I love you! "
" I love you too sweetie, now let's leave go back to the mansion so you can wash the stench of ouji off your handsome
body. "
" Awww, am I REALLY handsome? "
" Of course you are, honey. "
" YAY! " Goku threw his arms in the air with excitement as they left the room.
" ... " Vegeta stood there in grief for a moment, then exclaimed angrily, " I HAVE NO STENCH!!! "



" Wow, " Goku said, stepping back into their kitchen, " It DOES smell like Veggie in here! "
" More like it REEKS of him. " Chi-Chi said with distaste, " Goku, ring up the maid and have her clean the ouji-stink
out of our kitchen. " she ordered, then grinned widely, " 'ring up the maid', now THERE'S something I thought I'd never be
able to say! " she giggled, " OH! Guess what! " Chi-Chi pulled a video cassette, " I was called down to that Foodnetwork
studio earlier and they wanted me to make a pilot for a cooking show! Isn't that exciting? "
" I was wondering why you were on the TV. " Goku said thoughtfully.
" You saw it already? " Chi-Chi's eyes widened.
" Well, part of it. " Goku explained, then pouted, " Veggie said you abandoned me. But I didn't believe him! He just
said that cuz he wanted to be my little buddy AND my special friend. But you can't have both titles at once it just doesn't
work! " he said, going off into the part of his mind where only he understood what lingo he was using.
" ? " Chi-Chi looked at him oddly.
Goku smiled at her, " But YOU'RE my special friend, Chi-chan; and none of Veggie's silly Veggie-tricks are gonna
change that! " he hugged her tightly.
" I'm your 'special friend'? " Chi-Chi raised an eyebrow at him, both still in the embrace.
" Uh-huh! " Goku nodded.
" And what IS a 'special friend'? " Chi-Chi said, playing along.
" ...it's a secret. " Goku put his finger infront of his mouth in a hushed expression, then let out a giggle.
Chi-Chi sweatdropped. They pulled away.
" You know, tommorow I'm going to be visiting the network again for them to see me about a contract, and I bet if
they liked it enough I could have you come along to do a job on the show with me; you know, so you won't be alone for another
5 hours and fall prey to that EVIL LITTLE OUJI'S seductive servant scheme! " she clenched her fists, then lightened up, " I
was thinking you could be one of the taste testers. "
Goku gasped with delight, " You mean there are people who would PAY ME to eat the yummy deserts YOU COOK on the
show? "
" Yes. " Chi-Chi nodded.
" There is heaven on Earth, and it's name is FOODNETWORK! " he cheered, throwing his arms in the air. Chi-Chi grabbed
a pad.
" Quick, Goku, repeat that for me; I bet if we could sell them a slogan like that they'll send us another 1.5
million! "
" ALRIGHT CHI-CHI! " Goku grinned, then paused, " 1.5 million what? "
Chi-Chi sweatdropped.



" WAhhHHHhhHHHh, I don't know why I even agreed to this in the first place! " Chi-Chi wailed as she desperately
tried to settle down onto the waterbed.
" Aww, don't be such a partypooper Chi-chan! " Goku said, trying to cheer her up, " Besides, think of all the FOOD
we'll be surrounded by tommorow morning. "
" And all the money. " Chi-Chi grinned, then turned towards him, " Thanks Goku, that really helped. " she said, then
face-faulted when she noticed he was now fast asleep, " Hmm, deep-sleeper. " she said, then closed her eyes and fell asleep
and into a dream...
:::The first thing she heard were millions of people cheering her on and clapping their hands for her. Chi-Chi was
seated at a larger version of the table of the show. The table was on an enormously high pedistal that the crowds below her
seemed like tiny ants. She started to chop up a carrot at at the table when the crowds started throughing money at her. She
grinned widely. After witnessing the perfect croissants she had just finished they were eager for an encore. She was so busy
she barely noticed a creature dashing behind her out of the corner of her eye. She glanced over at Goku, who was sitting next
to her. They smiled at one another and Chi-Chi returned to her work, now chopping up several ingredients for her soon-to-be
famous soup. Goku, who she had momentarily been ignoring, noticed the creature she had seen before and looked over his
shoulder. The sinister creature, who was still in shadows at this point of the dream, started swining a medalion before
Goku's face. The saiyajin felt himself slip into a trance and smiled lovingly at the hypnotist, who smirked and motioned him
to follow the creature behind the curtain. Goku got up and hypnotically obeyed, walking towards it.
Chi-Chi turned back to ask her co-host for some salt and froze when she noticed he was missing. She then spotted the
monster wooing the hypnotized Goku offstage. She screamed Goku's name, calling him. Chi-Chi got up out of her chair and tried
to run off the risen stage, only to backup when everything around her instantly grew 5 times its regular size. Even the chair
she was just sitting in looked enormous. She looked down over the edge of the now 10 storyhigh stage just as the creature led
Goku towards the exit. She screamed for him louder, only to have her own screams overthrown by the demanding crowd, several
huge bills fell down, covering her. She punched a hole in the bills to see the little monster open the exit door as the light
from outside fell upon its face and revealed Goku's captor, " VEGETA!!! " she snarled in anger and deep fear of Goku's
helplessness in his hypnotized state. Vegeta chuckled at her, then smirked and took the hypnotized saiyajin by the wrist and
made him wave goodbye, " YOU LET HIM GO! DO YOU HEAR ME YOU TWISTED LITTLE OUJI! HE'S NOT YOURS NOW LET HIM GO!!! " she cried
out. A rush of tears blurred her vision as Vegeta hugged his hypnotized buddy and warmly escorted him out into the light,
" WHERE ARE YOU TAKING HIM! COME BACK HERE!! DON'T YOU DARE HURT HIM YOU SICKO!!! " Chi-Chi wailed, then watched as Vegeta
himself stepped out into the exit to follow Goku. Chi-Chi gathered up her courage and lept off the edge of the stage, feeling
herself plummeting downward. She tried to control her ki, but couldn't stop and took a breath to scream just as she reached
the hard-tiled floor:::
" AHHHHHH!!! " Chi-Chi sat up in bed, panting heavily. She looked around the room, frantically. Chi-Chi let out a
sigh of relief when she spotted Goku still beside her, sound asleep, " Oh thank God you're still there. " she made a weak
smile, running her hand through the sleeping saiyajin's hair, " I had such a terrible dream, Goku. That mean little ouji took
you away and I wasn't able to protect you. " she rubbed her teary eyes, " He's so horrible, that 'little buddy' of yours. I
would rather you let Kuririn do away with him back when you had the chance. He wants my job you know. " she rubbed her hand
against his cheek, " He wants to be that 'special friend'; against your own will. But you would never believe that he could
be capable of doing such a thing. But he DOES. I'm convinced he does. "
" Chi-chan? " Goku yawned groggily.
" Yes, G-kun? "
" Go back to sleep. " he smiled drowsily, then closed his eyes again.
Chi-Chi sighed, " I don't think I can... "



" Mrs. Son! Glad to see you again! " the executive who had come to the house the day before; Larry P. Money, said as
he welcomed the Sons into the studio, " I see you've brought your husband with you. That's great! Makes for a family
atmosphere. You should bring the kids next time. "
" Maybe over the weekend. " Chi-Chi smiled, " Gohan has school right now and Goten's over at Trunks's house. "
" Oooooh, look at all the FOOD! " Goku said, feeling like he was on cloud nine as he gawked and drooled over the many
pastry booths. He grabbed a pastry out of one of the baskets, " I LOVE MUFFINS! " he started to shove it into his mouth. A
second executive stopped him.
" HEY! Slow down buddy those are for display! " he said as Goku pouted and set the muffin back down. The saiyajin
sighed and waddled off, then zipped back to the pasteries for a second.
" I'll be back for you later, my sweets! " Goku winked at the muffins and cupcakes set out on the table, then zipped
back to the 'tour group'.
" The ratings from the pilot yesterday were through the roof. " Larry said excitedly as they headed towards the set
where Chi-Chi had filmed the show, " The big guys in charge called and they want us to offer you a contract for a full season
! The benefits are through the roof Mrs. S. It's unbelievable! "
" Really? " Chi-Chi said, pleased, " And, payment-wise? "
" Astounding! Look at the charts! " he snapped open a large chart, " See, this is how much you're gettin for the
pilot now... " he then pointed to the peak of the line, which went off the chart, " And THIS is how much you'll get by the
end of the season. Eh? Whadda ya think? "
" --WHERE DO I SIGN! " Chi-Chi grinned, whipping out a pen.
" Right here on the dotted line. " Larry said, pointing to the bottom of the paper.
" By the way, I was wondering, do you think I could have my husband here be one of the test-tasters on the show? "
Chi-Chi said happily as she finished signing.
" Nope, sorry, I can't do that. " Larry frowned, snapping his paper to roll it back up again.
" WHAT?! WHY NOT!!! " Chi-Chi screamed, enraged.
" Well, ya see, we can't have relatives or family members as taste-testers because we might be accused of fixing the
show. You know, of course he'll say he likes it if you're family. " Larry explained.
" But, but I can't just leave him home all that time! Someone HORRIBLE could happen to him! " she gasped.
" You mean, someTHING, don't ya? " Larry raised an eyebrow.
" No, I mean someONE. " Chi-Chi said flatly. She bit her lip, " Don't you think I could at least keep him here on
the set while we're filming, or in the audiance at least? "
" Can't do that either. You have to pay a lot of money to be in the live audiance. We'd have to deduct it from your
pay. "
" Ohhhh... " Chi-Chi said, worried. She glanced at Goku, who smiled at her, a large muffin in each cheek. She rolled
her eyes at him, " Swallow, Goku. Swallow. " she groaned.
He did so, " MUFFINS ARE YUMMY! "
Chi-Chi crossed her arms, " If I can't keep him here, who'll be able to watch him while I'm gone without him getting
into trouble? I'd need someone reliable, dependable; someone who would take as deeply a protective care of Goku as I would
myself. "
" How about me? "
Chi-Chi turned around to come face to face; rather, make that face to tip of spiky-black hair; with Vegeta.
" You. " she snarled at him. The ouji just smirked back, looking upward at her, " HA! Vegeta, you are the last person
on the planet I would trust my baby with. No chance! Now get your short royal bee-hind off my set! " she pointed him to the
exit.
Vegeta stood in place, " Oh come on, Chi. I do fit the description you know. "
" HA!; again I say; HA! "
He chuckled, " And who else do you think as all day to Kaka-sit for you? You already know I could take care of #3 of
your little description. I'd be happy to keep the little Kaka-baby entertained til his 'Mommy' gets back from work. Besides,
what other choice to you have? "
" Well, I.... " Chi-Chi teetered on the decision, " I...I.... "

END OF PART TWO
Chuquita: (mumbling to herself) These stories are getting longer and longer parts to 'um...(notices audiance) OH! (happily)
HI! This signals the end of part 2. Just a little bit of trivia knowledge but did you know that there is an actual site that
MST's actual DBZ episodes? I happened onto it earlier today, it's pretty good. Course I'd have to pull the address to it
out of my favorites list and I'm to lazy to do that now so I'll just call that a semi-shameless plug.
Goku: I'm BAAAACK! [carrying the bright-red Veggie-pillow] Wow Veggie makes a great pillow, Chu-sama. You should've changed
him into one earlier! That was the best nap I've ever had!
Chuquita: [points to the Veggie-pillow] Is it just me, or is that thing 'giggling'?
Goku: [cuddles the pillow closer] Yes it is!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) You know if it weren't for the fact that it looks just like an ordinary hotel pillow--as I intended--I
would be worried about my B.B.O.A.S skills.
Goku: Yeah, but it's Veggie too. [cuddles the pillow some more, who's blushing glows so bright it engulfs the room in red
light]
Chuquita: (blinded) AHH! SON-SAN STOP THAT!!!
Goku: [stops hugging the pillow, causing the blushing to disappear and returning the normal colors to the room] Sorry,
Chu-sama.
Chuquita: (rubs her eyes) It's oh-kay, Son. [yelps as she feels something smack her on the back of the head] HEY! [looks up
to see Goku floating above her]
Goku: PILLOW FIGHT!! [smacks her with the pillow again]
Chuquita: WHY YOU! [zaps up a pillow of her own and leaps ontop of the desk to do battle with Son] As you know, this means
war. (smirks)
Goku: (grins) YAHH!!
[Both start bombarding each other with the pillows until they knock each other nearly senseless.]
Goku & Chu: [groaning in near unconsiousness from behind the desk] [feathers float throughout the corner from the pillows and
flutter to the ground]
Goku: Ohhhhhh....
Chuquita: (groans) Join us next time for Part 3 of BAM! Not to mention more Veggie-pillow antics. Goodnight everybody, ohhh,
(faints)
