Okay, let's get the party started!

Kedo: It's about damn time!

Star: Hey, are you taking the ACTs? Do you live in one of the most competitive school districts in the nation? DIDN'T THINK SO!

Kedo: (grumbles) Stupid.

Star: Hey, don't make me tell Trunks what you wrote about him! But now for the questions. I don't believe that Trunks is gay, J.S, just a little…ambiguous. But stand-up and me don't mix, I'm afraid to say. I have to think about my jokes before I say them (or write them). Thank you very much for all the reviews!

Kyo: Can we get this over with?

Star: Just one more! This is a different take on Something Better, happychica. I'm glad you like my writing style. I'm pretty sure it's been improving, which is good! Thanks again! And for you Little Secret fans, I'm terribly sorry about the long wait. If the chapter isn't complete in the next three days, I'll just post what I have. Ug, I'm a terrible writer to have kept you waiting for so long. Sorry!


"Piccolo, can I sleep over tonight?"

"No."

"How about now?"

"No."

"…"

"…"

"…now?"

"NO!"

They Piccolo was standing at the entrance of his cave while Goku was on his knees, begging for a place to sleep.

"Haven't you ever feared for your life? If you have any conration, you'll let me stay!"

Piccolo blinked at him. "Don't you mean compassion?"

"No, I'm hungry too." Piccolo was about to question Goku's sanity when another visitor landed at the entrance of the cave.

"Here you are, Kakarott!" the man shouted harshly. Both Piccolo and Goku started before turning their attention to the short man standing in the open.

"Vegeta! What are you doing here?"

The arrogant prince rolled his eyes and said, "I'm here to check out the myth about the mad doctor living in a cave who likes to give people shots."

"WHAAAA! IS HE HERE!" Goku ran like no other, mowing down his Prince and a good chunk of the forest as well. Vegeta again rolled his eyes and turned to Piccolo.

"Do you know what to get a woman for Christmas?"

Piccolo shook his head. "No, I'm Jewish." The poor Saiyan Prince sighed and massaged the bridge of his nose.

"I asked Yamcha to help, but he was too busy in his harem. Speaking of which, why the hell don't I have a harem? I'm the friggin' Saiyan Prince, for God's sake!" Goku was suddenly by Vegeta's side.

"Did someone say Christmas?"

"Yes, Kakarott. Do you know what to get a woman for a present?"

"I sure do!" Goku smiled. "Chichi likes dresses and jewelry and perfume and everything."

The Prince began to get interested. "Really? Where can I find some of these things for free? I don't have any money." Goku's eyes narrowed and a sly smile spread across his face.

"I'll show you where you can get things for free…."


The glass shattered and a shadowed figure leapt through. He ignored the sound and flew to the women's section, keeping his eyes peeled for the perfect present. In the meantime, two guys were blockading the hole in the store window.

"Goku, this is a terrible idea. I don't even know how you convinced me to come."

"Come on, Piccolo, it's not that bad. All we have to do is get Vegeta arrested for stealing and Bulma will come and bail him out. Insto-presto, they fall in love."

"You really are a moron! What makes you think that Vegeta will let someone arrest him, much less that Bulma would come and bail him out?"

Goku didn't answer.

"Goku?"

There was still no response. Piccolo waved his hand in front of his partner's face, but nothing happened. Goku's eyes were glazed over and a long drip of drool started to ooze from the corner of his mouth.

"GOKU!"

"Huhwahnuh?" he slurred as he came back to life. "What's wrong?"

"You just fell asleep when I was talking to you!" Piccolo shouted, his eyebrow twitching faster than the heartbeat of a hummingbird. That's pretty dem fast, too.

"Oh, right, sorry…." The young Saiyan scratched the back of his head and smiled bashfully. "What were you saying again?"

"Never mind! Let's just get Vegeta and get the hell outta here."


"So, Vegeta, did you get what you want?"

"Uh, Goku, he's not here anymore."

"Oh. Well…can I sleep over tonight?"

"NO, CONFOUND IT, NO!"


Yeah, that took a lot longer than I expected. But like I said, it was all because of the ACT.

Kedo: Yeah, right. The chapter wasn't even good.

Kyo: Be quiet, runt. I'm trying to sleep. (Kedo sticks his tongue out at Kyo when he's not looking)

Star: Well, I was working on ACT prep. It's tomorrow, so instead of studying now, like I should be doing, I'm writing this godforsaken chapter. Man, it was a pain to write. But I'm still working on Chapter 14 of Little Secret because I just realized it has no major plot point. It was a shock because I love the story so much, but it just isn't going anywhere. I'm probably going to post what I have of the chapter then write a note saying, "Dude, I messed up and I need to start over." But now, yo lloro. Yo lloro mucho!

Kyo: (with eyes closed) Speak in English, for God's sake.

Star: Ah, cállate! But I do have some interesting news. I've been working on my website for a period of eight months and I think it's time you guys checked it out. I like it and all. It has some icons in the humor section for you to use on your myspace or xanga. I've even updated the Things DBZ Characters Would Never Say so it has the February contest on it. Check it out for me and sign the guestbook, if you have the time. I greatly appreciate it!

Kedo: Only if you update faster!

Star: NEVER! ...But I'll try to.
