CHAPTER 4: Discovered!
Both Goku and Vegeta stood around the dragon radar and glared at the seven dots blinking on the screen. None of the dots were close together and one seemed to be moving ever so slightly, which was probably a bad thing.
"This sucks!" Vegeta yelled, furrowing his brow. "I don't even know how to work this fucking machine."
"Hey!" Goku cried from Vegeta's body, "I do not say 'the F-word,' Vegeta!"
Vegeta moved his now much taller body toward Goku and starred down at his former self. "And who's going to stop me?" He demanded, feeling drunk with a sudden sense of power.
Goku felt his body tremble, being in Vegeta's smaller frame was a whole new experience for him. He was surprised to be truly afraid of Vegeta in his body. "Well no one's around right now so I guess it's alright." Goku laughed nervously, raising his hands defensively.
Vegeta smirked, a wicked grin spreading across his new face. "That's what I thought," he said smugly. "Now let's go find these stupid dragon balls so I can be removed from your repulsive body!"
Goku hung his head and shivered in his small frame. "Fine," he grimaced, "The sooner the better!"
"What are you guys doing with the dragon radar!" Gohan yelled from above their heads, startling both Vegeta and Goku.
"Gohan!" Goku yelled! Vegeta slapped his forehead in defeat. Goku was determined to blow their cover.
Gohan touched down and gave Vegeta and his father a quizzical look. "Are you guys trying to find the dragon balls? What for? What's going on between you two anyway? This doesn't make any sense at all!" Gohan had a rambling conversation with himself.
"Shut up for a second!" Vegeta yelled at him.
Gohan silenced himself and gave his father a hurt look. "Sorry," he mumbled.
"It's Okay, Gohan." Goku said reassuringly, glaring at Vegeta—in his body.
Gohan crossed his arms and glowered at the two Saiyan's. They stared back. "I know something is going on!" Gohan announced, "Tell me!"
Vegeta and Goku shared glances and then shrugged. "Well Gohan," Goku sighed in Vegeta's sandpaper voice, "Me and Vegeta have switched bodies. That's right, I'm Goku."
Gohan nearly fell over in shock, "Well, that explains a lot," he said, glaring at Vegeta in his father's body. "I knew you were acting funny! I should kill you for treating Mom like that." Vegeta smirked smugly and pushed Gohan away from him.
"Like what?" Goku demanded.
"There. Now you know." Vegeta told Gohan, "Now keep your mouth shut about it."
"How the heck did this all happen?" Gohan questioned exhaustedly.
Goku went red in the face, well red in someone's face, and looked away. Vegeta was happy to comment, "Your father wished upon a shooting star that he was me." He rolled his eyes in exhaustion. "Or in other words, I'm not sure yet."
Gohan wiped his brow and sighed heavily. He stared at his father awkwardly (on account of him looking like Vegeta and all) and yelled, "Why the heck would you do that?"
Vegeta scoffed, "Of course he wants to be me. Look at me, I've never had a chance to see myself like this before. Now I want to be me again more than ever!"
Gohan and Goku stared at him for a moment then rolled their eyes.
"The most important part," Vegeta sighed, "Is that we find the dragon balls and get ourselves back in our respective bodies before anyone finds out. Anyone but you of course, Gohan."
"What did he do to Chi-chi?" Goku asked Gohan anxiously.
"Yes, after spending a whole night with each other's families, I would say it would be downright dangerous to reveal it to them now. Wow, you guys would be dead meat!" Gohan laughed.
"Vegeta, what did you do to my wife?" Goku pleaded.
"Thank you Gohan," Vegeta snapped, "what would we do without you here to point out the obvious? Let's get going then."
"You guys, what happened to Chichi?" Goku cried exasperatedly.
"I'll help you find the dragon balls so I can kick your ass when you have your old body back." Gohan calmly stated to Vegeta, who was making his father's body look so evil it frightened him.
"You don't know who you're messing with, little boy," Vegeta declared evenly, "But that'll make it all the more fun when I knock your punk ass to the ground."
Meanwhile, Goku was giving Vegeta's form a look of pure innocence and frustration. "Gohan," he rasped in Vegeta's vocals, "What did Vegeta do to your Mom?" He sweatdropped in anticipation and annoyance.
"Oh nothing." Gohan said indifferently, "No big deal."
Goku fell over with his legs up in the air.
"Lets go Kakarot," Vegeta sneered, looking at the dragon radar and taking off into the skies, "and Kakarot jr," he added, a sound of self-amusement playing in his voice. Well, technically, it was Goku's voice.
