Scence 7 or something:

Everybody ('cept Piccolo & Goku) is in a big stadium. Gohan, Trunks, and Goten are on the field holding signs. A sort of obstacle course is set up on the ground. Vegeta is at a type of podium. Piccolo and Goku are waiting to enter. Everybody else is in the stands.

Veggie is beginning his announcement: "Worthless onnas and baka germs, [hehehe] it is my displeaure to dennounce you today and hold a contest."

Everyone sweatdrops. Gohan, Goten, and Trunks are confused as Veggie obviously isn't following the script. They shrug and hold up the cards anyway. Applause.

Veggie: "Let the contestants approach and the contest begin!!!!"

A group of knights in armor stiffly walk forward. Suddenly the doors are thrown open and Goku-Donkey and Piccolo-Shrek walk forward.

The knights see them and run toward them to attack. "SPECIAL BEAM CANON!!!" Before any of them can even touch Piccolo or Goku, they are all fried to a crisp.

"PICCOLO! NOT AGAIN!!!!" Bulma's voice can be heard off set as Piccolo sweatdrops. "Oh, so those were robots, too, huh?"

Veggie: "Shut up, onna!" He is standing in the stands [Um, whatever.] "So, you can handle a few mechanic robots, but can you handle a true warrior? I highly doubt it and *I* shouldn't waste my *precious* time on you worthless bakas."

Piccolo: "Bring it on!" [AN: have you ever noticed how often they use this phrase in DBZ?]

Goku is standing there, unsure what to do, while Piccolo is in a fighting stance and Veggie is about to fly down onto the field. "Um, guys?" he says.

The 2 fighters turn to glare at him and Goku puts his hand behind his head. "Um, shouldn't we wait for later to settle this? I mean, we should follow the script. Vegeta, your supposed to give us some quest." ::grumble grumble::

Veggie: "Shut up, Kakorot." (To Pic) "Go get this princess and I'll give you your swamp back. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda. All the fine print stuff and special details. There! Now get out of my sight!!!!"

**************************************************************************** ** Scene 13 [hehehe, unlucky number]:

Piccolo-Shrek and Goku-Donkey have travelled many miles and are now staring at the forbidden looking castle before them. Lightning flashes, illuminating an old unsturdy rope bridge leading across a fiery pit to the ancient castle on a cliff.

Goku- (looks down) ::gulp:: "Um, Piccolo, do we really have to cross this shaking bridge. It doesn't look safe. I mean--"

Piccolo interupts- "Stop being a baka, Goku. Of course we don't have to cross that bridge."

Goku- "Um, no? Then how do we get across?"

No answer.

"Piccolo? Shrek? Piccolo?"

He looks up and see Pic already more than halfway to the tower. "Piccolo Wait!!!!!"

Goku goes SSJ to catch up and both stop in mid air near castle. "No, Piccolo, you gotta urge me across and scare me and--"

"Shut up Goku."

Suddenly they are interupted by a sing-song voice. [Hehehe, my favorite part.] "Gooooookuuuuu!!!!"

Goku- ::gulp:: (under breath) "Oh no, no, no, no, no..."

Pic- "Have fun, Goku. I gotta find this girl." He blasts off leaving a nervous Goku to the mercy of the Chichi-Dragon [hehehe].

"Gooooookuuuuu!!!! Where are yoooouuu!!!!" comes the sing-song voice again.

Goku laughs nervously and puts his hand behind his head. "Uh, hi Chichi. I'm here."

Chichi-Dragon comes onto scene. She is purple and pink and his LONG eyelashes and fire coming out of her nostrils and BIG claws and teeth.

Goku: (mutter) "And I thought she was dangerous with a frying pan."

Chichi: "What's that, dear?" Goku: "Only how... uh.... LOVELY you look."

Chichi: (big smile & flutters eyelashes) "Thank you darling. Now, you DID leave our two sons home, right? They have a lot of studying that they need to catch up on."

G: (sweatdrop & hand behind head) "Ummm . . . . well . . . . ."

C: " G O K U . . . " (fire starts pouring out of her nostrils).

G: "Well, uh, yeah . . . they're, um, reading and . . . um . . . writing. Yeah, of course they are!"

(Gohan and Goten are seen with Trunks behind the set laughing over some old comic books and struggling to read what their (applause, etc.) cards say.)

Chichi: "You are such a good father. Someday our boys will grow to be the next Einstien or Edison or Darwin [etc.]. And they'll learn that peace can be achieved without fighting and . . . "

Goku sweatdrops and begins to doze off as Chichi rambles on.

**************************************************************************** ** Meanwhile-

Piccolo roughly shakes Makoto's sleeping form. "Get up."

Makoto just lays there smiling. Piccolo practically throws her off the bed, but she manages somehow to stay there. "GET UP!!!"

Mako: (with eyes still shut) "The only thing that will wake me is love's first kiss." (dreamy). She puckers up with eyes still closed.

Pic: "Get up or I'll BLAST YOU TO PIECES!!"

Mako: (finally up) "Jeez, I'm awake! Somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed. Hey, where're you going?"

Pic is out the door and down the steps. "I'm leaving while Goku is still distracting Chichi-Dragon. That woman never liked me, said I was bad influence on her kids."

Mako: "Ok, whatever. I'm coming with you. There's no way I'm staying in this dump."

Pic just grunts.

Mako: (muttering while going down steps) "This is going to be a LONG trip."
