A/N: Just a short chapter this time. Next one should be longer.

Ch. 7 – Rabbits Are Not Cute!

"Wow, those are the largest mushrooms I've ever seen!" Oolong said as we drove through the Fungus Forest towards Fungus town.

Bulma had decided that we really needed to stop for supplies. Between Goku's stomach and her own desire to get out of the bunny suit, she had me locate the nearest town on the map.

"I wonder if they taste good," Goku said.

Please don't try to eat them! You never know what strange mushrooms might do to you." I told Goku.

"But..."

"No. I'll go buy some groceries when we stop in town."

"I wonder if he's got a black hole for a stomach." Oolong said.

"Quiet down you guys. Look, there's the town." Bulma said from the driver's seat.

As we drove into town it seemed like everyone had stopped what they were doing to stare at us. It got worse as we continued to the gas stations. One boy even ran away when Goku said hi. It wasn't until we stopped that we realized that it was Bulma they were all staring at.

"Everyone's scared of you Bulma. Did you do something?" Goku asked.

"What are you talking about I've never even been here before," Bulma said.

"Hey! I'm going to go pick up some groceries, alright?" I asked the group.

"Just be careful. I'll be looking for a change of clothes and a Hoi Poi capsule shop." Bulma told me.

"Can you see if they have a capsule house? One with a couple beds? The Motor House is fine but there are four of us."

"Good point. I'd like to have a bed to myself again." Bulma said before turning to Oolong and Goku. "You two stay with the car. I don't want anything to happen to this one."

"Yes Ma'am!" Oolong muttered as Bulma left.

"I'll be back soon. We went past a grocery store about a block back, so it shouldn't take me long." I said and waved before leaving.

"Bring back meat Cori!" Goku shouted and I couldn't help laughing.

Checking out took a while. I definitely blamed Goku's stomach for the amount of food I was buying. At least the cashier wasn't giving me the same terrified look that everyone else had been giving Bulma. I wondered if it was because of how she was dressed since the townspeople all dressed with more layers. But I was in my usual outfit consisting of a tank top, shorts, and my hat so I didn't think it was that.

"That'll be ten thousand Zeni." The cashier said.

"Of course." I paid quickly and made sure to store away the food in one of my storage capsules. I'd put it away later in whatever house Bulma bought. "Thank you!"

"I better get back quickly."

Halfway there I noticed a stall selling meat buns and drinks. It would be good to grab some so we could all have some lunch. I knew everyone besides Goku would probably be good with one bun but I bought ten counting on Goku eating most of them.

"Cori did you bring lunch!" Goku asked as he paced outside the car.

I laughed. "Sure did I got some meat buns and drinks!"

"Good, I've got plenty of shopping done and some food would taste great right now," Bulma said from behind me.

She was carrying a suitcase and wearing a new outfit. I looked around and noticed something odd.

"Hey, they aren't glaring at you anymore!" I said.

"Yeah, it was something about the bunny ears."

I handed out food and drinks before climbing into the back seat to eat my share of lunch. Oolong sat in the driver's seat while Bulma and Goku decided to stand. A loud crash drew our attention to two men wearing bunny ears and carrying guns.

"I Wonder who they are?" Bulma said.

"I don't think I want to know. They look like bad news." Oolong said.

"Yeah but look their bunny ears look just like the ones Bulma had on." I pointed out. "That must be why everyone was scared of Bulma earlier."

The two men walked down the street breaking stalls and kicking anyone who they deemed too close. It was horrible, what else had they done to this town. People were too terrified for this to have been the first time they'd been here. Unfortunately, we wouldn't escape their notice today.

"Hey! Girl!" The shorter guard called out to Bulma.

"You should come with us. If your good it'll even be fun." The taller one said and they both laughed.

"No thanks, you creeps," Bulma said

"Hey sweet cheeks obviously you don't know about the Rabbit Gang or you'd be watching what you say to us." The first goon said.

"Yeah, you much not be from around here." Goon number two said.

"Now I see why everyone was freaking out when the saw me earlier," Bulma grumbled as she looked the two men over. She turned her back to them and placed her suitcase in the car. "I don't have time to fool around with idiots."

"Now, you obviously have an attitude problem and if you're not careful it'll get you killed." The taller goon said, pointing a gun at Bulma.

"Son, these are bad guys. Beat them up won't you." Bulma asked a still eating Goku.

"Yeah. Alright!" Goku said as he finished his food.

"Hey! Don't be stupid they have guns!" Oolong shouted from the driver's seat.

"Guns aren't really a concern for Goku," I told the pig trying to reassure him.

"You can't be serious?! This shrimp?" The guards laughed, completely dismissing Goku as a threat.

Goku didn't bother getting angry. He just smiled and threw an uppercut into the taller goons stomach followed quickly by a kick to the man's jaw. It took Goku less than ten seconds to knock the goon out.

"Damn you!" The shorter goon shouted. He raised his gun but never got a chance to fire it.

Goku leaped over the man, pulling out his staff as he landed. This fight ended just as quickly as the other one when he jabbed the man's butt with the end of his staff.

"That was the fastest fight of yours I've seen Goku," I said.

"Hmm, yeah but it sure felt good. It's been a while since my last fight." Goku said with a grin.

"You did good, Goku. Now let's get going." Bulma said.

I moved over to let Bulma sit down. It was a tighter fit with my sister in the back seat but Goku would probably end up napping in her lap. He was surprisingly cuddly when he slept. Considering how he mentioned sleeping with his Grandpa he was probably more comfortable that way.

"Hey, what's he doing?" Oolong asked pointing to the goon who got butt poked.

"B... Boss! Rabbit one here we need help. There's a really strong guy in town!" The shorter goon said into a hand-held radio.

"On my way." A voice replied from the radio.

There was only a second of silence before all the townspeople around us started running away. Some were even screaming.

Our group was startled and the gas station attendant, who hadn't run away yet looked surprised at our confusion.

"You've really done it now you imbeciles!" He shouted before taking off.

1111111111111111111

We now sat in what quickly turned into a ghost town. If we hadn't just watched all of the townspeople run inside of their houses I would have thought the place deserted.

"They're terrified of this boss guy," I said.

"Will I think they're being pretty damn rude! They could have at least thanked us for taking care of those two." Bulma said annoyed at the situation.

"We should get out of here." Oolong said. "I've got a bad feeling."

"Hey look those guys are up again." I pointed out.

"Good I've got some questions for them," Bulma said. "Hey! What's this about a boss!"

Instead of answering the two goons just taunted us.

"You four are done for!"

"Yeah Boss'll turn all of ya into carrots to be eaten!"

"Carrots?" Goku asked.

"Is that even possible?" I asked Bulma.

"Who knows. We've seen some pretty weird things already." Bulma replied.

"I still say we should get out of here!" Oolong shouted in fear.

"Why? We didn't do anything wrong!" Goku said.

Suddenly the two goons started shouting and waving down a car that was approaching. It looked like a rabbit but I found it creepy looking especially the eyes painted on it. It stopped nearby and the men ran towards it as a white rabbit wearing sunglasses stepped out of it.

"Stop shouting you pathetic worms." The Rabbit order and then started looking around. "Now where are the ones who went against the Rabbit Gang?"

"Over there boss!" The shorter goon pointed at us.

"That's the boss!" I said.

"Wow, he looks pretty weak." Oolong commented while Bulma laughed.

The Rabbit Boss then jumped and landed right in front of Bulma. He held out a hand and asked for a handshake.

"That's a bit creepy," I muttered as Bulma slapped his hand away.

"Hmph! No way I'd shake hands with you!" Bulma said and stuck out her tongue at him.

"Too bad you've touched me." The Rabbit Boss said laughing.

Bulma then poofed into a carrot and landed in the Rabbits hands.

"Bulma!" I screamed.

"AWW! You turn her into a carrot!" Goku yelled as the rabbit continued to laugh. Now angry Goku jumped down from the car. "You Monster!"

"Ah, ah! If you plan to attack me go ahead. The moment you touch me you will turn into a carrot too!"

"Bulma." I cried. "Turn her back!"

"Sorry toots. You all should never have messed with the Rabbit Gang!"

"Goku! Us that Bo you have! You don't have to touch him to beat him!" Oolong shouted.

"You're right!" Goku cheered and swung his staff at the rabbit but the boss dodged.

"W... Wait for a second! If you care about this carrot you'll stop or I'll eat it!" The Boss threatened.

Goku lowered his staff obviously pissed off. "Dammit! You cheat!"

Oolong then slammed on the gas taking both him and me away from the fight.

"What are you doing Oolong!" I screamed.

"This isn't my problem!" He yelled and turned a corner taking us out of sight of the Rabbit Gang.

"Oolong you coward!"

"Damn right I am! It's what keeps me alive."

"If you don't turn this car around right now you'll regret it Oolong!" I threatened.

"Nope!"

Ohh, that pig was asking for it. "PIII, PIII, PIII, PIII!" I shouted as loud as I could causing Oolong to slam on the brakes. He ran from the car to hide in the bushes by someone's house.

"Don't do that!" Oolong yelled from his place in the shrubbery.

"You are going to get back in this car. Then you are going around the rest of the block so we come up behind that bunch of stupid rabbit idiots! If you don't I'm going to keep screaming the magic damn words and I won't stop." I threatened.

"All right! All right! Just don't say them again!" Oolong begged as he came back to the car.

I was silent as we drove around to the fight. I glared at Oolong the entire time never taking my eyes off of him. I knew he was a coward but this time he'd left and taken me with him when my sister could be eaten. I was not happy with the pig. I had him stop the car before we reached the fuel stand and we walked quietly until we saw the back of the Rabbit boss.

The Rabbit was still holding the carrot that used to be Bulma. But I could see his two goons beating up Goku who wasn't fighting back.

"Oolong transform into something that flys and snatch Bulma out of his hand. I'll tackle one of the goons, that should distract the other and give Goku a chance to beat them up." I ordered.

"Couldn't I just stay here. You know nice and safe?" Oolong asked

"No! Now go grab Bulma!" I said as I gave him a push forward.

Oolong quickly transformed into a bird and once I saw him take Bulma from the Boss I ran forward and tackled the shorter goon who had been punching Goku. This surprise the other goon and Goku who both looked at me in surprise.

"Stop staring and use your staff to beat that Rabbit!" I shouted before tripping the other goon who moved to stop Goku.

"Cori! You came back!" Goku said.

"Of course! I would never have left if Oolong hadn't run away with me still in the car. Look Out!" I shouted as the two goons got back up.

Goku simply swung his staff knocking them into each other and sending them flying.

"Alright!" Goku smirked as he turned towards the Rabbit Boss. " You're in for it now!"

"Wait! Wait a minute don't kill me! That girl won't turn back without me!" The Rabbit Boss screamed but Goku slammed his staff down on the top of his head.

Oolong flew down still in his bird shape and dropped Bulma's carrot into Goku's hands.

"Thanks!" Goku said and then turned to the Rabbit. "Hey! Turn Bulma back right now and I'll spare your life!"

"Okay! I'll do it just don't hurt me!" The Rabbit cried as he held his head in his hands. He slowly stood up once Goku put Bulma's carrot in front of him then he clapped his hands and Bulma was back to normal.

"Bulma!" I yelled, racing forward I lunged at my sitting who was sitting on the ground and hugged her. "You're back!"

Bulma patted my back as I hugged her but she was obviously confused.

"What happened to me?"

"You got changed into a carrot," Goku said as he finished tieing up the Rabbit Gang.

"What!"

"Yeah but Goku beat them all up and made him turn you back," I said as I still held onto my sister. I didn't want to let go just yet.

"Cori helped she tackled the short one and tripped the other," Goku said.

"Hey, I helped too!" Oolong complained.

I looked up and glared at the pig. "I had to force you to!"

"Alright, everything's fine now. Cori, can you let me up?" Bulma asked and I finally let go of her.

"I wonder what I should do with these three." Goku pondered.

"If we leave them here they'll just keep terrorizing people. We'd need a place where that one" I pointed at the Rabbit Boss. "Can't touch anyone."

Goku grinned before slamming one end of his staff into the ground. Then he grabbed the end of the rope he used to tie up the Rabbit Gang. He dragged the trio behind him as he walked back over to his staff and grabbed the top end with his free hand.

"Goku, what in the world are you doing?" I asked.

"I had an idea," Goku grinned. "I'll be right back. Nyoi-bo grow long!"

I watched as Goku and his prisoners disappeared from view.

"What do you think he's doing?" Oolong asked.

"I think he's doing something impossible again." I sighed.

"Knowing Son that's entirely possible." Bulma agreed. "Was I really a carrot?"

"Yeah. Didn't you feel any different?" I asked her.

"No. It was like one second, I was by the car and the next I was sitting on the ground."

"At least you didn't get eaten."

"What?!"

"Uh, yeah the Rabbit guy threatened to eat you if Goku attacked."

"Hey! Goku's coming back," Oolong pointed out.

Looking up I could see Goku sliding down. He was alone so I wondered where he left the gang members. The villagers had slowly come out from hiding and started cheering as they also noticed the absence of the gang.

"All done!" Goku said as he landed back on the ground.

"Where did you go?" Bulma asked.

"What did you do?" I asked at the same time.

Goku shortened his staff and put it back in its case on his back before answering.

"I just dropped the Rabbits off on the moon!"

We all looked at Goku in confusion. I sighed and turned to the car and climbed in. When I noticed that no one else had followed me I turned and saw them staring at me.

"I'm not even surprised anymore. Now come on we only have one more Dragon Ball to find!" My words got the others moving and soon enough we were on our way. The villager's cheers filled the air until we got too far away from the town to hear them.
