Quote of the week: from "Sherman's Lagoon" - slagoon.com
Sherman: Look at that cloud Megan, what do you see?
Megan: A guy.
Sherman: A guy, what kind of guy?
Megan: A companion. A soul-mate. A guy who cares about me. A guy who's
every waking thought isn't about food.
Sherman: Hmph...I see a pork chop.
Chuey's Corner: What if Veggie-chan & Goku used to be friends back
on Bejito-sei before Bardock had sent Goku to earth & before Freeza
had kidnapped Vegeta? Before Goku lost his memory of his homeplanet?

Summary: Singing Nameks? Flying monkeys? Chi-Chi the
"Wicked Witch of the West"? The Son home is right in
the path of a tornado & sends Gohan & Hiyah Dragon on
an unwanted trip to the land of OZ. How will they get
home? Who will they meet? And where did Freeza get ruby
slippers?
*************************************************************************************************
" MR. PICCOLO!! " Gohan cried happily as he stared up at the metallic-colored namek with
starry eyes, " YOU CAME TO SAVE ME--again. "
"Piccolo" turned back to the child standing in front of him, confused, then glared at
Nappa & Vegeta, who was still playing with HIS new hat, " I WON'T let you hurt them. " he said
as Nappa smirked.
" We're not here to kill them, we're here for the ruby slippers. " he chuckled as he
pointed to the sneakers on Gohan's feet.
Gohan looked down at his feet, " You can have 'um! " he yelped nervously.
" No, he can't. " the tin namek said as Gohan looked up, " Those things hold tremendous
power & if the witch of the west gets a hold of them who knows what could happen. "
" Really? " Gohan lifted up his leg & stared at the sneakers while in the bushes Goku
began to pull himself back together as he stuffed his straw back, then noticed something to the
left of him, smiled & grabbed it.
" Really, now give them to me. " Nappa growled angrily as he neared Gohan, who stepped
backwards, " You better listen or I'll--YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
he screamed in pain at the top of his lungs, then collapsed to the ground. The baffled group
stared at the fallen giant. Hiyah walked around to the back of Nappa & gasped.
" RRRARA! " he shouted.
Gohan raised an eyebrow, " A beartrap!? " he said, confused as he stared at the huge
metal jaws surrounding Nappa's tail, " But, these aren't the same Nappa & Vegeta from home?
These guys aren't saiyajins at all. "
" The question is, where did that thing come from. " "Piccolo" said in a monotone.
" I know I know! Ask me! " Goku shouted, waving his arms about, " I found it in the
bushes!"
" But, where would you get a beartrap around here. " Gohan asked as the other
winged-monkey tip-toed off.
" The question isn't where, it's who. " Piccolo sneered at Vegeta, who froze in his
tracks, then zipped over to Nappa & shook him wildly in fear.
Gohan looked up, " OH! I just realized something, we don't have anything to be afraid
of! " he said confidently as the tin man looked down at him.
" What the heck are you talking about? They're the servants of the Wicked witch! They're
some of the best senshi around! " Piccolo shouted.
" Yeah, but that doesn't mean that they're strong! Their ki isn't anywhere NEAR their
counterparts back home! " he said as he cracked his knuckles.
" Ki? What is that? " the scarecrow scratched his head as Gohan sweatdropped.
" It's..I'll explain later. " he said as he walked towards Vegeta, " Now to see if I'm
right about this... " he gulped as he snuck up from behind Vegeta & powered up. Vegeta turned
around, his eyes widened.
" HE'S ON FIRE! " Vegeta cried in shock as Gohan smirked & reached out to touch Vegeta
on the arm, who backed up & dashed behind a tree, " Wha, what are you! "
" That doesn't matter right now. I want you to go back to the Witch & tell her that you
couldn't find us. " Gohan narrowed his eyes. Vegeta mirrored the expression.
" NEVER! I'm no traitor! " he growled.
" Go back and tell her that or I'm going to be forced to fight you. " Gohan said.
" FINE! YOU WANT TO FIGHT! THEN WE'LL FIGHT! " Vegeta yelled, then ran headlong towards
Gohan swung his arms around desprately, 2 inches away from the boy. Vegeta stopped & looked back
to see Goku, who had his foot on Vegeta's tail.
" Hi little monkey! " Goku said happily. Vegeta ignored him & turned back to Gohan,
continuing to swing his arms about wildly.
" DON'T JUST STAND THERE! DO SOMETHING! " Piccolo yelled at Goku, who shrugged & slammed
his fist down upon Vegeta's head, knocking him unconsious. Goku took his hat back & placed it on
it's rightful spot, then put the unconsious Vegeta on his back.
" Let's take him with us, he might be able to tell us what the witch wants with these
slippers, when he wakes up that is. " Goku smiled as Gohan nodded in aggrement.
Piccolo sneered, " IF he wakes up. "
" Say, " Goku said as the trio continued down the road, which was now leading them into
a forest, " Tinccolo, how come you didn't sing a cooky intro song like me & the munchkins? " he
asked, breaking the silence.
" I DON'T sing Goku. " he replied.
" Well if you don't, we'll never know what you want the wizard to get you? " Goku pointed
out as Piccolo cringed.
" Fine... " Piccolo grumbled, " I want a heart. The end. " he said stonely as Goku &
Gohan stared at him, " How was that? "
" Well, uh, actually Piccolo it was kinda sti-- "
" Stupendous! " Gohan shouted, putting his hand over Goku's mouth.
" Yeah, Piccolo, that was stupidous! " Goku shouted as Gohan sweatdropped.
" We don't want to make Mr. Piccolo mad, remember! He knows what he's doing a whole
lot better than we do. I don't want us to insult him. " Gohan whispered to Goku.
" ...OH! I GET IT! YOU DON'T WANT PICCOLO TO KNOW THAT WE THOUGHT HIS SONG SUCKED SO HE
WON'T GET MAD & BLAST US TO PIECES RIGHT GOHAN! " Goku said unusually loudly as Piccolo narrowed
his eyes at Goku. Hiyah gulped, then bolted up, sniffing the air in a nervous matter.
" Whatsa matter boy? " Gohan asked his dragon, who began to walk faster, then broke into
a run, " Hiyah? HIYAH WHERE ARE YOU GOING! " Gohan called out as he flew after him.
Goku blinked, confused, " HEY! WAIT FOR ME! " he shouted, running after Gohan, Vegeta
still on his back.
Piccolo continued to walk at a slow pace, then closed his eyes.
" HIYAH! WHERE ARE YOU GO--OFFA! " Gohan smacked into Hiyah, who was staring into a
nearby brush as two eyes appeared, a frightening stare in them.
" Wha, what's that? " Gohan asked Hiyah as the eyes disappeared & a loud roar emerged
throughout the forest. Hiyah jumped into Gohan's arms & shivered.
" EEEE!!! " Goku screamed in fear as he ran towards Gohan & Hiyah, slamming into them
just as the creature appeared, causing the whole group to scream at the top of their lungs.
Gohan opened one eye to come face to face with the beast, baffled.
" Roar, roora! " the lion said meekly as he bended his claws back & forth, an evil grin
on his face. Gohan raised an eyebrow.
" Kuririn? Is that you? "
The lion stopped, " You're...not scared? "
" No, not really. " Goku said within the massed group.
" Come on, you have to admit, you were scared. "
" Well, kinda. " Gohan said, " But, not now. "
" Aww, nuts! " the lion said, kicking the dust up from the ground, " It's always the same
thing! Nobody's ever scared. I'M THE KING OF THE BEASTS! They treat me like a pussycat. " he
sighed as Piccolo walked up behind him. The lion yelped & rushed behind Gohan, " HELP!!! " he
cried as Picclo rolled his eyes.
" Waitaminute, you're a lion, and you're scared? " Gohan said, confused.
" Scared, heh, more like frightened, paranoid, cowardly, nervous! " the lion gulped.
" Hee-hee, Cowardly Kuririn. " Goku giggled, " Whatsa Kuririn? "
" I don't know, but I do know this. " the lion said as he pressed a button on a nearby
tree, causing a microphone to fly out, into his hand, " OHHHHHHH... "
Hiyah grabbed his earmuffs & placed them carefully on his head.
" Ohhhh, it's hard to be a lion, and there ain't no denyin, the trouble that I'm in!
Doo doo do doody do do, Oh it's hard ta help the others, when ya run off to ya mothers, when
an enemy attacks, doo do do dooody do do, cuz when it comes to bravery, civalry and navery, it's
the courage that I lacks. "
" Doody doody doo! " Goku sang as everyone stared at him, " What? "
" Well, that pretty much sums it up. " Kuririn said as he tossed the microphone back into
the wilderness.
" Now THAT was snappy. You should've heard Piccolos. It was the lamest song I ever
heard! "I want a heart. The end.", where's the rhythm in that! " he chuckled as the still
unconsious Vegeta fell off him & landed on the ground, snoring.
" Who's that! " Kuririn asked, then walked closer & gasped.
" He's my pet monkey. " Goku smiled proudly.
" IT'S...IT'S...IT'S ONE OF THE WICKED WITCH'S HENCHMEN!!! " Kuririn shrieked as Vegeta
opened his eyes and got up, growling at Kuririn, who zipped behind Piccolo, " You'll protect me,
won't you? "
" WHERE THE HECK AM I?! " Vegeta screamed as he got up, " Where's Nappa? Where's Radditz?
And who the heck is that furry thing? " he pointed at Kuririn, who shrieked again.
" Well, looks like somebody's cranky. Hey! That's what I'll call you, Cranky! " Goku
snapped his fingers.
" I ALREADY HAVE A NAME! IT IS VEGETA! " he screamed at the scarecrow, " YOU BAKA #@%(+*
@$@*&$#( &@#(*@U&_@!!! "
" Maybe I should call him PottyMouth instead. " Goku comtemplated the idea.
" Say, we're going to see this Wizard, do you want to come along? " Gohan asked the lion.
" Maybe he could grant your wish! "
" Grant my wish? I thought he gave stuff? " Kuririn scratched his head.
Gohan sweatdropped, " Sorry, wrong immortal being, heh-heh. " he chuckled nervously,
" All we have to do is just follow this road. Blenda said it's supposed to lead us right there. "
" Blenda? " Vegeta raised an eyebrow, " Isn't she the north witch? "
" Yup. " Gohan said as he & Hiyah began to walk again.
" She's...nice. " he said, blushing lightly.
" Oooh, monkey likes Blenda! " Goku giggled childishly, then met with Vegeta's fist.
Goku rubbed his nose, " OWW! You broke my nose! "
" Now how the heck can I do that! YOU'RE MADE OUT OF STRAW! YOU HAVE NO BONES! " Vegeta
screamed.
" Oh yeah, well, whadda ya know, that didn't hurt after all. " he grinned as he skipped
along, " Say Mr. Monkey, are you comin with us? " Goku asked, " Do YOU have a wish? "
Vegeta grinned evilly, " A wish? Oh I have a WISH, hehheheheh. " he snickered, " I have
one heckofa wish. MUHAHAHAHAHA! " he laughed maniacally while everyone stared at him,
" ...oh forget it! " he grumbled, then followed along, about 5 feet behind the others.
" Oh, we're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful wizard of Z, heehee heehee heehee hee
hee hee hee! He will grant us our fantasies, tra la la la la la la la la la, oh we're off to
see the Wizard, the wonderful wizard of Z! " Goku sang happily.
" Will you quit singing that BLASTED song, this is the 23rd time you've sung it and it's
getting on my nerves! " Vegeta growled.
" Really? You counted? " Goku asked, " Wow, I didn't know little winged-monkeys could
count. "
" Just, shut up already. " Vegeta hissed.
" Hey Gohan! " Goku called up ahead to Gohan, who was walking alongside Hiyah, " I think
my pet monkey needs a nap! Can we rest a while? "
" I DO NOT NEED A NAP!!!! " Vegeta screamed, " AND FURTHERMORE I AM NOT ANYBODY'S PET! "
" You're a monkey though. " Goku pointed out.
" NOT _JUST_ A MONKEY! I AM A...oh forget it! " he huffed.
" But Da--I mean, scarecrow, we're almost there! Look! " he pointed as they stood in the
middle of the road, which went straight through a flowery field to a large aray of dark green
towers and buildings.
" Oooh, shiney. " Goku grinned.
" I am NOT walking through any blasted pansy garden. " Vegeta sneered, then sat down on
the side of the road at the end of the forest.
" Fine, then you WON'T get your wish. " Piccolo smirked, " I told you he would just be
a pain if you took him along. "
" Well he won't be anymore if he's just gonna sit there. " Gohan said, stopping, " Come
on Hiyah, you can use the extra wish instead. " he smiled as his dragon cawwed happily.
" Fine, I don't care about any bakayaro wishes. " Vegeta sneered as sat against the tree
watching the others walk along, " Stupid Wizard, I bet that whole story was a load of crap
anyway. " he folded his arms & sat back.
" They're almost through the poppies! " the witch gasped, " I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN! "
she shouted, then smiled evilly, " the poppies, of course. " the she smirked, " They won't get
throught the them if I have anything to do with it. " the witch said as she pulled some dust out
of a bag & spinkled it over her glass ball, " Sleeeep, you feel your eyes getting heavy....sleep
my pretties, sleep. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*cough**hack*HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! "
" Look Gohan, it's snowing! " Goku oohed as he pointed upward while fuzzy white things
sprinkled down from above.
Gohan put his hand out, " This isn't snow, *yawn*, it's not even wet. " he said as his
eyelids began to close.
" Very observant. It isn't snow, it's some kind of pollen. " Piccolo said in a hard voice
, " It's supposed to cause those who breathe it in to fall a, a, sllepsh... " he mumbled, then
collapsed to the ground, fainting.
" MR. PICCOLO! " Gohan cried as he ran over to the tin namek & shook him, " Is he-- "
" *SNORE* "
" *Whew*, he's only sleeping. Sleepi-- " Gohan fainted overtop of Piccolo, snoring as
well. Goku looked at Hiyah.
" Gosh, I wonder what's wrong with them. " he asked the purple dragon, who shrugged, a
dazed look on his face. Hiyah wobbled backwards & fell down, " Must be something in the air. "
Goku concluded, then took a deep breath, a sleeply look on his face, " Well, whadda ya know, I
was righmpsha.. " he said as he fell asleep as well.
Vegeta snickered at the snoozing group, " Wusses, they couldn't even make it to the
city without "napping" first. " he chuckled, then cocked an eyebrow, " But why would they all
fall asleep suddenly like that. " Vegeta scratched his chin as a small pink bubble appeared next
to him.
" The poppies did that to them. " a familiar voice said as Vegeta whipped around to his
side to see Blenda, or a smaller version of her anyway.
" ...hi. " Vegeta choked out, then smirked, " What're you supposed to be, chinese takeout
size or somethin? "
" Hmmph, very funny ape boy. " Blenda said sarcastically, " I've come to help you. "
Vegeta did a double take, " ME?! " his eyes widened.
" You, as in the group, not you in particular. " she said smuggly.
" Oh, I thought you were gonna blast them for me or something. " Vegeta mumbled, sitting
as he pulled his legs towards his chest & put his arms around them.
" HECK NO! " Blenda smacked Vegeta on the head with her wand, " YOU JERK! I'M THE _GOOD_
WITCH! "
" Coulda fooled me. " Vegeta grumbled, " More like the bad bi-- "
" SAY IT AND I'LL TURN YOU INTO A FROG!!! " Blenda screamed at the top of her lungs.
" Hmmph. " Vegeta folded his arms as Blenda flew off towards the group.
" You can't just sleep forever. " she said to the snoring Gohan as she pointed her wand
towards the sky. A jolt of bright yellow light flew from her wand into the clouds, causing the
sky to turn a bright shade of green. Vegeta sat there, watching, dumbfounded as from the sky,
enormous snowflakes began to fall down, touching upon the quartet, who began to move about,
their eyes still closed.
" There, my job done now. " Blenda said, tapping her bubble & causing it & herself to
disappear.
" WAIT! " Vegeta cried, then at down & sulked, an aggrivated look on his face, " Dang
fairy, coulda waited for me to at least say *grumble*grumble* *snarl*, " he grumbled & snarled
as the group sat up.
" IT'S SNOWING! " Goku shouted, then began to skip around like a schoolgirl, catching
the 8 ft tall snowflakes in his mouth.
" Whoopdeedoo. " Vegeta said sarcastically, " I hope you're happy! " he sneered at them.
" I am, look, SNOW! " Goku grinned.
" Strange, why would it snow at this time of year. " Piccolo said as Gohan looked up at
Hiyah & shrugged.
" Well, if you MUST know, that blasted fairy happened to pass by here, but _I_ out of
the kindness of my heart persuaded her to use her baka magic to wake you all up. " he smirked.
" What heart. " Piccolo chuckled as Goku giggled along with him.
" OH SHUT UP! " Vegeta yelled.
" Rrrarra! " Hiyah shouted.
" What do you MEAN that's not what happened! You DOUBT my ablity to tell the truth?! "
Vegeta faked a gasp.
" RRAA RARERA! " Hiyah yelled.
" IT IS TOO WHAT HAPPENED! SHE DIDN'T COME BY TO HELP YOU I SUMMONED THE BAKA ONNA &
ORDERED HER TO HELP YOU! " Vegeta screamed as a very aggrivated Blenda appeared from behind
Vegeta & bopped him on the head with her wand.
" I should put a curse on you for that! " she narrowed her eyes at a now frightened
Vegeta, who gulped.
" You, wouldn't. " he said nervously.
" Hey Mr. Monkey! Tell her how much you like her like you told me! " Goku shouted loudly
as a red-faced Vegeta turned around.
" I DID NOT SAY THAT YOU BAKAYARO! " he screamed, " I JUST SAID SHE'S NICE, but now I'd
like to change my opinon on that. " he gritted his teeth.
" Surrrrrre you would. " Goku smirked evilly.
" Dang blasted baka I should... " he grumbled, then turned back to Blenda, who smiled
devilishly at him, " Heh, hi. "
" You'd like to change you're opinon about me huh. Well how about if I change something
about YOU! " she said as Vegeta backed up, " Stupid little winged-monkey. You don't deserve
those wings of yours. " Blenda snickered as she held up her wand & pointed it at Vegeta, causing
his wings to disappear.
Vegeta shrieked like a 2 year old caught in a blender & felt his back for his precious
wings, " WHERE ARE THEY! " he cried.
" Well, you don't have any until you get your attitude adjusted monkey-boy. Later. "
Blenda said as she tapped herself with her wand, " By the way, thanks for the compliment. " she
said as she disappeared.
" My...wings... " Vegeta sniffled as Goku patted him on the back.
" Hey Mr. Monkey, I think she likes you too. " he smiled, then recieved a blow to the
face by Vegeta's fist.
" OH SHUT UP! "
" So, this is it huh. " Gohan scratched his head as he stared at the large green doors,
" It's kind of, green. "
" There's an understatement. " Goku said as they stared at the green towers, buildings,
and various other city-istic things drenched in green.
" What's wrong with GREEN! " Piccolo looked down at Goku.
" Uh, nothing, I like green. " he said nervously, then knocked on the door.
" Come on Scarecrap, let'um know we're here! " Vegeta yelled as Goku stepped to the right
with a sneaky smile on his face.
" Would you like to try. " Goku snickered as Vegeta walked up to the door & kicked it.
" HEY BAKA! OPEN THAT BLASTED DOOR RIGHT NOW OR I'LL KNOCK IT DOWN MYSELF!!! " Vegeta
screamed, then getting no response, backed up & ran head first at the frontdoor and slammed into
it, then wobbled backward and fell down.
" Hello? Hello? " a voice said as a small door at the top of the first opened up, " Who
are you? "
Gohan rubbed his eyes, " Kaio-sama? "
" Who are you? What are you doing here. " he said as Goku tilted his head.
" We wanna come in. " Goku smiled.
" Come in? Here? Oh you can't come in here. " the doorman said, then closed the
peephole/door at the top of the door.
" HEY! WAIT! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! " Gohan banged on the door, " OPEN UP! WE NEED TO SEE
THE WIZARD!! "
" Wizard? " Kaio-sama said, " Nobody's aloud to see the wizard! Not no way, not no how. "
Vegeta lept into the air & grabbed the blue sensei by the collar, " LISTEN YOU! I DON'T
CARE! I NEED TO GET IN THERE AND GET MY WISH OR _SOMEBODY_ WILL HAVE TO PAY!! " he screamed as he
held up his fist, " BIG TIME! "
" Don't go ape over it. " Kaio-sama said, then burst into laughter as the small group
stared at him, confused. Kaio-sama looked down at them, " Whatsa matter? Don't you get it. Go
ape? The boy's a monkey-creature? Ape--monkey. HAHAHA! "
" ... " the group stared at Kaio-sama.
" Was that supposed to be a joke? " Goku scratched his head.
" You people have no sense of humor. " Kaio-sama grumbled, " Not a single funnybone in
your entire bodies. "
" But, I'm a scarecrow, I don't have bones. " Goku said, confused. Kaio-sama looked
down and noticed Gohan's sneakers.
" Wha, wha, where did you get those?! " he stuttered.
" Oh, these. Blenda gave them to me. They WERE ruby slippers. " Gohan said as he tapped
his sneakers.
" RUBY SLIPPERS! _THE_ RUBY SLIPPERS OF THE WITCH OF THE EAST! " the doorman, Kaio gasped
" The EX-witch of the east. " Goku grinned.
" WELL! " Kaio-sama smiled, " That's a horse of different shoe size! "
Vegeta raised and eyebrow, " SHOE size??? "
" Come right in! " Kaio-sama said as he opened the door, to reveal that he standing on
a tall stepstool. Kaio jumped down to the ground, " Right this way. Bwahahaha. " he chuckled.
" ALRIGHT! I'm finally gonna find out how I can get home! " Gohan smiled.
" And my FISH! "
" And my heart. "
" And my BRAVERY! "
" ... "
" Well! " Goku turned to Vegeta, " What is that you want so badly from the wizard? Your
wings back? "
" NO! I DON'T NEED THOSE BLASTED THINGS! " Vegeta huffed.
" I mean, what do you desire most Mr. Monkey? " Goku asked.
A large grin engulfed Vegeta's face, " Oh, you'll find out, eventually. " he snickered as
he walked ahead of Goku, who scratched his head.
" He's the strangest little monkey-creature I've ever met. " Goku said to himself, " And
the only one too. "
" OOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOh... " Goku's eyes widened to the size of sauserpans as he watched
all the people of Emerald city skip about, singing, " IT'S LIKE A GIANT MUSICAL CITY! "
" It IS a giant musical city bakayaro. " Vegeta grumbled.
" Tra-lalalala-la-la-la! " one of the merry citizens sang as she pranced around Piccolo,
throwing flowers at him.
Piccolo spat out several petals, then grabbed the citizen by the neck & tossed her
against the wall, " I have allergies. "
" A-Uuu-who-who and a la la la and another hee hee hee, that's how we spend the day away
in the beautiful land of Z. " the citizens sang as a very aggrivated Vegeta covered his ears.
" Tooti-fruiti dee dee dee, and a bunch of other hees, that's how we spend the day away
in the wonderful land of--MMPH! " Goku screamed in a muffled voice as Vegeta clasped his hand
over Goku's mouth. Goku's eyes turned to the left, then widened. He pushed Vegeta away & ran
over to the object.
" OOHEE! OOH OOH! " he screamed like a two-year-old, " LOOK! A PONY! "
" Yes, that is the horse of a different shoe size. " Kaio-sama grinned, " Thought I was
joking about that before huh? " he said as the horse's feet expanded to the size of Hiyah, then
shrunk to a bottlecap size and back to their normal size.
" WHEE! " Goku jumped ontop of the horse, " Can I ride him! "
" You can do better than that. " Kaio-sama pointed to a carrige attached to the horse,
" You can ride behind him. He'll take you to the Wizard's chamber. " he smiled.
" Ohhhhh. " Goku clasped his hands together, then jumped inside the carrige, " WOW! "
" Are you sure it's safe? " Gohan said as he examined the horse, " Does he really know
how to take us to the Wizard? "
" Of course he does, now hop in. Come on, no horse play. " Kaio-sama said as Gohan got
in, " Get it, HORSE-play. It's a HORSE! " he said as Gohan, Hiyah, & Goku stared at him.
" Of FORGET IT! " Kaio-Sama grumbled as he watched Piccolo get in.
Vegeta stared at the horse, who licked him on the cheek. Vegeta wiped the horse saliva
off of his face, " BAKA BEAST! " he shook his fist as the horse's front left foot expanded to
humongous proportions & stomped Vegeta repeatedly.
" Hee-hee-hee. Everyone just loves to hate you lil monkey. " Goku laughed at Vegeta, who
got up, various bruises on his body as he climbed into the carrige with the others & folded his
arms.
" I HATE horses. "
" Whoa. " Kuririn gasped as he stared at the doors in front of him, " So, this is where,
the, the, wizard lives. " he said nervously.
" Yeah. " Gohan said, " DAD I'M COMIN HOME! " he shouted.
" Eee, FISH. " Goku's eyes widened on the second word, then returned to their normal
size, " FISH for meeee. "
Vegeta leaned against the door, which opened, causing him to slip & fall down. Piccolo
chuckled slightly.
" Silly monkey. " Goku said, then picked up Vegeta & set him out of the way. Goku backed
up, then made a mad dash for the room.
" WAIT! I WANT TO GET MY WISH GRANTED _FIRST_!!! " Vegeta cried as he ran after the
others.
" I NEED TO GET HOME! WAIT UP! " Gohan shouted as he ran off, Hiyah right behind him,
followed by Piccolo, who walked calmly in after them.
" Ohhh. " Kuririn gulped, then cautiously tiptoed towards the entrence as Goku poked his
head out from around the doorway, grabbed Kuririn's arm & yanked him inside.
" Hello! Hello! Mr. Wizard! Are you here? " Goku shouted as he & the others walked down
the long green carpet.
" Muh, maybe he's not here. Maybe we should just go home. " Kuririn said nervously.
" GO HOME!? " Vegeta gasped, " I REFUSE TO GO _HOME_ AFTER ALL WE'VE DONE TO GET HERE! I
CAME TO HAVE MY WISHES AND DESIRES GRANTED AND I'M NOT LEAVING UNTIL I GET ALL OF THEM!!! "
" Umm, Vegeta, you can only have ONE wish granted. " Gohan pointed out as Vegeta's face
fell.
" Wha, wha ONE?! " he said, shocked.
" You should be lucky they let you come this far. " Piccolo said disdainfully as Vegeta
narrowed his eyes at the tin namek.
" I hope you rust you baka tin can. " Vegeta grumbled.
" WHO DARES ENTER THE REALM OF THE GREAT AND POWERFUL WIZARD! " a deep voice boomed
from all around the room as Kuririn screamed in fright & leaped into Goku's arms.
" HELP!! " he screamed, then looked at Goku, " PLEASE LET'S GO! I can't go through with
this COME ON! " he yelped.
" Ohhh, LOOK! " Gohan gasped as he pointed at a humongous green head floating above them,
" Are, are, you the Wizard? " his eyes widened.
" No, it's the tooth fairy, OF COURSE IT'S THE WIZARD YOU CHIBI BAKA! " Vegeta yelled at
Gohan who turned back to the gigantic green floating head.
" WHAT HAVE YOU COME HERE FOR! " the wizard said loudly.
" Well, a lot of different reasons actually. " Gohan explained, " The scarecrow here, "
he pointed to Goku, " Came for-- "
" A BIG _FISH_! " Goku waved his arms about hyperactively.
" --uh, right. " Gohan continued, " And the tin namek over there wants a heart, and the
lion wants courage, and I, well, I just want to be able to go home. " Gohan hung his head, " I
miss my family very much. "
" WHAT ABOUT _MY_ WISH! " Vegeta shouted.
" Well, you haven't told me what you want yet. " Gohan noted as Vegeta looked around the
room.
" I have TWO wishes bakayaros. " he grumbled, " First I want to RULE this entire
miserable planet! And second, uhm. " Vegeta blushed, " Uhm, can I talk to you about it in
private? "
" Oooh, Mr. Monkey's got /special/ wish. " Goku smirked.
" I DO NOT! " Vegeta shouted.
" Heh-heh, I bet _I_ know what you want. " Goku snickered, then screamed in pain as
Vegeta kicked him in the croch.
" _YOU_ EXPECT _THE GREAT AND POWERFUL Z_ TO GRANT YOUR WISHES JUST LIKE THAT! " the
wizard yelled angrily as Hiyah & Kuririn coward behind Gohan, " FIRST YOU MUST DO SOMETHING FOR
ME!! "
" For, for you? " Gohan blinked, " Shenlong he ain't. "
" Shenwho? " Goku looked down at the boy & scratched his head.
" He's the eternal dragon. " Gohan grumbled as Goku walked over to Hiyah & patted him on
the head.
" Wow! Are you REALLY!? " Goku gasped as Hiyah rolled his eyes.
" No, not HIM! I mean...oh nevermind. " Gohan sighed, then turned to the wizard, " What
is it you want us to do, exactly? "
" YOU MUST BRING ME THE BROOMSTICK OF THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST! " the wizard yelled
as Kuririn's eyes widened with fright.
" WHAT?! " Kuririn gasped, " HE CAN'T BE SERIOUS!! "
" I _AM_ SERIOUS!!! " the wizard screamed at the top of his lungs as Kuririn rushed down
the hall & leaped out the closed window, breaking the glass into pieces.
" KURIRIN! " Gohan cried as he ran over to the window and stuck his head out, " KURIRIN!
ARE YOU OKAY!? "
" Nuh, never, better..ungh! " Kuririn groaned, then fainted.
Gohan sweatdropped, " This is gonna be harder than I thought. "

Quote of the week: from "Sherman's Lagoon" - slagoon.com
Sherman: Look at that cloud Megan, what do you see?
Megan: A guy.
Sherman: A guy, what kind of guy?
Megan: A companion. A soul-mate. A guy who cares about me. A guy who's
every waking thought isn't about food.
Sherman: Hmph...I see a pork chop.
Chuey's Corner: What if Veggie-chan & Goku used to be friends back
on Bejito-sei before Bardock had sent Goku to earth & before Freeza
had kidnapped Vegeta? Before Goku lost his memory of his homeplanet?

Summary: Singing Nameks? Flying monkeys? Chi-Chi the
"Wicked Witch of the West"? The Son home is right in
the path of a tornado & sends Gohan & Hiyah Dragon on
an unwanted trip to the land of OZ. How will they get
home? Who will they meet? And where did Freeza get ruby
slippers?
*************************************************************************************************
" MR. PICCOLO!! " Gohan cried happily as he stared up at the metallic-colored namek with
starry eyes, " YOU CAME TO SAVE ME--again. "
"Piccolo" turned back to the child standing in front of him, confused, then glared at
Nappa & Vegeta, who was still playing with HIS new hat, " I WON'T let you hurt them. " he said
as Nappa smirked.
" We're not here to kill them, we're here for the ruby slippers. " he chuckled as he
pointed to the sneakers on Gohan's feet.
Gohan looked down at his feet, " You can have 'um! " he yelped nervously.
" No, he can't. " the tin namek said as Gohan looked up, " Those things hold tremendous
power & if the witch of the west gets a hold of them who knows what could happen. "
" Really? " Gohan lifted up his leg & stared at the sneakers while in the bushes Goku
began to pull himself back together as he stuffed his straw back, then noticed something to the
left of him, smiled & grabbed it.
" Really, now give them to me. " Nappa growled angrily as he neared Gohan, who stepped
backwards, " You better listen or I'll--YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
he screamed in pain at the top of his lungs, then collapsed to the ground. The baffled group
stared at the fallen giant. Hiyah walked around to the back of Nappa & gasped.
" RRRARA! " he shouted.
Gohan raised an eyebrow, " A beartrap!? " he said, confused as he stared at the huge
metal jaws surrounding Nappa's tail, " But, these aren't the same Nappa & Vegeta from home?
These guys aren't saiyajins at all. "
" The question is, where did that thing come from. " "Piccolo" said in a monotone.
" I know I know! Ask me! " Goku shouted, waving his arms about, " I found it in the
bushes!"
" But, where would you get a beartrap around here. " Gohan asked as the other
winged-monkey tip-toed off.
" The question isn't where, it's who. " Piccolo sneered at Vegeta, who froze in his
tracks, then zipped over to Nappa & shook him wildly in fear.
Gohan looked up, " OH! I just realized something, we don't have anything to be afraid
of! " he said confidently as the tin man looked down at him.
" What the heck are you talking about? They're the servants of the Wicked witch! They're
some of the best senshi around! " Piccolo shouted.
" Yeah, but that doesn't mean that they're strong! Their ki isn't anywhere NEAR their
counterparts back home! " he said as he cracked his knuckles.
" Ki? What is that? " the scarecrow scratched his head as Gohan sweatdropped.
" It's..I'll explain later. " he said as he walked towards Vegeta, " Now to see if I'm
right about this... " he gulped as he snuck up from behind Vegeta & powered up. Vegeta turned
around, his eyes widened.
" HE'S ON FIRE! " Vegeta cried in shock as Gohan smirked & reached out to touch Vegeta
on the arm, who backed up & dashed behind a tree, " Wha, what are you! "
" That doesn't matter right now. I want you to go back to the Witch & tell her that you
couldn't find us. " Gohan narrowed his eyes. Vegeta mirrored the expression.
" NEVER! I'm no traitor! " he growled.
" Go back and tell her that or I'm going to be forced to fight you. " Gohan said.
" FINE! YOU WANT TO FIGHT! THEN WE'LL FIGHT! " Vegeta yelled, then ran headlong towards
Gohan swung his arms around desprately, 2 inches away from the boy. Vegeta stopped & looked back
to see Goku, who had his foot on Vegeta's tail.
" Hi little monkey! " Goku said happily. Vegeta ignored him & turned back to Gohan,
continuing to swing his arms about wildly.
" DON'T JUST STAND THERE! DO SOMETHING! " Piccolo yelled at Goku, who shrugged & slammed
his fist down upon Vegeta's head, knocking him unconsious. Goku took his hat back & placed it on
it's rightful spot, then put the unconsious Vegeta on his back.
" Let's take him with us, he might be able to tell us what the witch wants with these
slippers, when he wakes up that is. " Goku smiled as Gohan nodded in aggrement.
Piccolo sneered, " IF he wakes up. "
" Say, " Goku said as the trio continued down the road, which was now leading them into
a forest, " Tinccolo, how come you didn't sing a cooky intro song like me & the munchkins? " he
asked, breaking the silence.
" I DON'T sing Goku. " he replied.
" Well if you don't, we'll never know what you want the wizard to get you? " Goku pointed
out as Piccolo cringed.
" Fine... " Piccolo grumbled, " I want a heart. The end. " he said stonely as Goku &
Gohan stared at him, " How was that? "
" Well, uh, actually Piccolo it was kinda sti-- "
" Stupendous! " Gohan shouted, putting his hand over Goku's mouth.
" Yeah, Piccolo, that was stupidous! " Goku shouted as Gohan sweatdropped.
" We don't want to make Mr. Piccolo mad, remember! He knows what he's doing a whole
lot better than we do. I don't want us to insult him. " Gohan whispered to Goku.
" ...OH! I GET IT! YOU DON'T WANT PICCOLO TO KNOW THAT WE THOUGHT HIS SONG SUCKED SO HE
WON'T GET MAD & BLAST US TO PIECES RIGHT GOHAN! " Goku said unusually loudly as Piccolo narrowed
his eyes at Goku. Hiyah gulped, then bolted up, sniffing the air in a nervous matter.
" Whatsa matter boy? " Gohan asked his dragon, who began to walk faster, then broke into
a run, " Hiyah? HIYAH WHERE ARE YOU GOING! " Gohan called out as he flew after him.
Goku blinked, confused, " HEY! WAIT FOR ME! " he shouted, running after Gohan, Vegeta
still on his back.
Piccolo continued to walk at a slow pace, then closed his eyes.
" HIYAH! WHERE ARE YOU GO--OFFA! " Gohan smacked into Hiyah, who was staring into a
nearby brush as two eyes appeared, a frightening stare in them.
" Wha, what's that? " Gohan asked Hiyah as the eyes disappeared & a loud roar emerged
throughout the forest. Hiyah jumped into Gohan's arms & shivered.
" EEEE!!! " Goku screamed in fear as he ran towards Gohan & Hiyah, slamming into them
just as the creature appeared, causing the whole group to scream at the top of their lungs.
Gohan opened one eye to come face to face with the beast, baffled.
" Roar, roora! " the lion said meekly as he bended his claws back & forth, an evil grin
on his face. Gohan raised an eyebrow.
" Kuririn? Is that you? "
The lion stopped, " You're...not scared? "
" No, not really. " Goku said within the massed group.
" Come on, you have to admit, you were scared. "
" Well, kinda. " Gohan said, " But, not now. "
" Aww, nuts! " the lion said, kicking the dust up from the ground, " It's always the same
thing! Nobody's ever scared. I'M THE KING OF THE BEASTS! They treat me like a pussycat. " he
sighed as Piccolo walked up behind him. The lion yelped & rushed behind Gohan, " HELP!!! " he
cried as Picclo rolled his eyes.
" Waitaminute, you're a lion, and you're scared? " Gohan said, confused.
" Scared, heh, more like frightened, paranoid, cowardly, nervous! " the lion gulped.
" Hee-hee, Cowardly Kuririn. " Goku giggled, " Whatsa Kuririn? "
" I don't know, but I do know this. " the lion said as he pressed a button on a nearby
tree, causing a microphone to fly out, into his hand, " OHHHHHHH... "
Hiyah grabbed his earmuffs & placed them carefully on his head.
" Ohhhh, it's hard to be a lion, and there ain't no denyin, the trouble that I'm in!
Doo doo do doody do do, Oh it's hard ta help the others, when ya run off to ya mothers, when
an enemy attacks, doo do do dooody do do, cuz when it comes to bravery, civalry and navery, it's
the courage that I lacks. "
" Doody doody doo! " Goku sang as everyone stared at him, " What? "
" Well, that pretty much sums it up. " Kuririn said as he tossed the microphone back into
the wilderness.
" Now THAT was snappy. You should've heard Piccolos. It was the lamest song I ever
heard! "I want a heart. The end.", where's the rhythm in that! " he chuckled as the still
unconsious Vegeta fell off him & landed on the ground, snoring.
" Who's that! " Kuririn asked, then walked closer & gasped.
" He's my pet monkey. " Goku smiled proudly.
" IT'S...IT'S...IT'S ONE OF THE WICKED WITCH'S HENCHMEN!!! " Kuririn shrieked as Vegeta
opened his eyes and got up, growling at Kuririn, who zipped behind Piccolo, " You'll protect me,
won't you? "
" WHERE THE HECK AM I?! " Vegeta screamed as he got up, " Where's Nappa? Where's Radditz?
And who the heck is that furry thing? " he pointed at Kuririn, who shrieked again.
" Well, looks like somebody's cranky. Hey! That's what I'll call you, Cranky! " Goku
snapped his fingers.
" I ALREADY HAVE A NAME! IT IS VEGETA! " he screamed at the scarecrow, " YOU BAKA #@%(+*
@$@*&$#( &@#(*@U&_@!!! "
" Maybe I should call him PottyMouth instead. " Goku comtemplated the idea.
" Say, we're going to see this Wizard, do you want to come along? " Gohan asked the lion.
" Maybe he could grant your wish! "
" Grant my wish? I thought he gave stuff? " Kuririn scratched his head.
Gohan sweatdropped, " Sorry, wrong immortal being, heh-heh. " he chuckled nervously,
" All we have to do is just follow this road. Blenda said it's supposed to lead us right there. "
" Blenda? " Vegeta raised an eyebrow, " Isn't she the north witch? "
" Yup. " Gohan said as he & Hiyah began to walk again.
" She's...nice. " he said, blushing lightly.
" Oooh, monkey likes Blenda! " Goku giggled childishly, then met with Vegeta's fist.
Goku rubbed his nose, " OWW! You broke my nose! "
" Now how the heck can I do that! YOU'RE MADE OUT OF STRAW! YOU HAVE NO BONES! " Vegeta
screamed.
" Oh yeah, well, whadda ya know, that didn't hurt after all. " he grinned as he skipped
along, " Say Mr. Monkey, are you comin with us? " Goku asked, " Do YOU have a wish? "
Vegeta grinned evilly, " A wish? Oh I have a WISH, hehheheheh. " he snickered, " I have
one heckofa wish. MUHAHAHAHAHA! " he laughed maniacally while everyone stared at him,
" ...oh forget it! " he grumbled, then followed along, about 5 feet behind the others.
" Oh, we're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful wizard of Z, heehee heehee heehee hee
hee hee hee! He will grant us our fantasies, tra la la la la la la la la la, oh we're off to
see the Wizard, the wonderful wizard of Z! " Goku sang happily.
" Will you quit singing that BLASTED song, this is the 23rd time you've sung it and it's
getting on my nerves! " Vegeta growled.
" Really? You counted? " Goku asked, " Wow, I didn't know little winged-monkeys could
count. "
" Just, shut up already. " Vegeta hissed.
" Hey Gohan! " Goku called up ahead to Gohan, who was walking alongside Hiyah, " I think
my pet monkey needs a nap! Can we rest a while? "
" I DO NOT NEED A NAP!!!! " Vegeta screamed, " AND FURTHERMORE I AM NOT ANYBODY'S PET! "
" You're a monkey though. " Goku pointed out.
" NOT _JUST_ A MONKEY! I AM A...oh forget it! " he huffed.
" But Da--I mean, scarecrow, we're almost there! Look! " he pointed as they stood in the
middle of the road, which went straight through a flowery field to a large aray of dark green
towers and buildings.
" Oooh, shiney. " Goku grinned.
" I am NOT walking through any blasted pansy garden. " Vegeta sneered, then sat down on
the side of the road at the end of the forest.
" Fine, then you WON'T get your wish. " Piccolo smirked, " I told you he would just be
a pain if you took him along. "
" Well he won't be anymore if he's just gonna sit there. " Gohan said, stopping, " Come
on Hiyah, you can use the extra wish instead. " he smiled as his dragon cawwed happily.
" Fine, I don't care about any bakayaro wishes. " Vegeta sneered as sat against the tree
watching the others walk along, " Stupid Wizard, I bet that whole story was a load of crap
anyway. " he folded his arms & sat back.
" They're almost through the poppies! " the witch gasped, " I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN! "
she shouted, then smiled evilly, " the poppies, of course. " the she smirked, " They won't get
throught the them if I have anything to do with it. " the witch said as she pulled some dust out
of a bag & spinkled it over her glass ball, " Sleeeep, you feel your eyes getting heavy....sleep
my pretties, sleep. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*cough**hack*HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! "
" Look Gohan, it's snowing! " Goku oohed as he pointed upward while fuzzy white things
sprinkled down from above.
Gohan put his hand out, " This isn't snow, *yawn*, it's not even wet. " he said as his
eyelids began to close.
" Very observant. It isn't snow, it's some kind of pollen. " Piccolo said in a hard voice
, " It's supposed to cause those who breathe it in to fall a, a, sllepsh... " he mumbled, then
collapsed to the ground, fainting.
" MR. PICCOLO! " Gohan cried as he ran over to the tin namek & shook him, " Is he-- "
" *SNORE* "
" *Whew*, he's only sleeping. Sleepi-- " Gohan fainted overtop of Piccolo, snoring as
well. Goku looked at Hiyah.
" Gosh, I wonder what's wrong with them. " he asked the purple dragon, who shrugged, a
dazed look on his face. Hiyah wobbled backwards & fell down, " Must be something in the air. "
Goku concluded, then took a deep breath, a sleeply look on his face, " Well, whadda ya know, I
was righmpsha.. " he said as he fell asleep as well.
Vegeta snickered at the snoozing group, " Wusses, they couldn't even make it to the
city without "napping" first. " he chuckled, then cocked an eyebrow, " But why would they all
fall asleep suddenly like that. " Vegeta scratched his chin as a small pink bubble appeared next
to him.
" The poppies did that to them. " a familiar voice said as Vegeta whipped around to his
side to see Blenda, or a smaller version of her anyway.
" ...hi. " Vegeta choked out, then smirked, " What're you supposed to be, chinese takeout
size or somethin? "
" Hmmph, very funny ape boy. " Blenda said sarcastically, " I've come to help you. "
Vegeta did a double take, " ME?! " his eyes widened.
" You, as in the group, not you in particular. " she said smuggly.
" Oh, I thought you were gonna blast them for me or something. " Vegeta mumbled, sitting
as he pulled his legs towards his chest & put his arms around them.
" HECK NO! " Blenda smacked Vegeta on the head with her wand, " YOU JERK! I'M THE _GOOD_
WITCH! "
" Coulda fooled me. " Vegeta grumbled, " More like the bad bi-- "
" SAY IT AND I'LL TURN YOU INTO A FROG!!! " Blenda screamed at the top of her lungs.
" Hmmph. " Vegeta folded his arms as Blenda flew off towards the group.
" You can't just sleep forever. " she said to the snoring Gohan as she pointed her wand
towards the sky. A jolt of bright yellow light flew from her wand into the clouds, causing the
sky to turn a bright shade of green. Vegeta sat there, watching, dumbfounded as from the sky,
enormous snowflakes began to fall down, touching upon the quartet, who began to move about,
their eyes still closed.
" There, my job done now. " Blenda said, tapping her bubble & causing it & herself to
disappear.
" WAIT! " Vegeta cried, then at down & sulked, an aggrivated look on his face, " Dang
fairy, coulda waited for me to at least say *grumble*grumble* *snarl*, " he grumbled & snarled
as the group sat up.
" IT'S SNOWING! " Goku shouted, then began to skip around like a schoolgirl, catching
the 8 ft tall snowflakes in his mouth.
" Whoopdeedoo. " Vegeta said sarcastically, " I hope you're happy! " he sneered at them.
" I am, look, SNOW! " Goku grinned.
" Strange, why would it snow at this time of year. " Piccolo said as Gohan looked up at
Hiyah & shrugged.
" Well, if you MUST know, that blasted fairy happened to pass by here, but _I_ out of
the kindness of my heart persuaded her to use her baka magic to wake you all up. " he smirked.
" What heart. " Piccolo chuckled as Goku giggled along with him.
" OH SHUT UP! " Vegeta yelled.
" Rrrarra! " Hiyah shouted.
" What do you MEAN that's not what happened! You DOUBT my ablity to tell the truth?! "
Vegeta faked a gasp.
" RRAA RARERA! " Hiyah yelled.
" IT IS TOO WHAT HAPPENED! SHE DIDN'T COME BY TO HELP YOU I SUMMONED THE BAKA ONNA &
ORDERED HER TO HELP YOU! " Vegeta screamed as a very aggrivated Blenda appeared from behind
Vegeta & bopped him on the head with her wand.
" I should put a curse on you for that! " she narrowed her eyes at a now frightened
Vegeta, who gulped.
" You, wouldn't. " he said nervously.
" Hey Mr. Monkey! Tell her how much you like her like you told me! " Goku shouted loudly
as a red-faced Vegeta turned around.
" I DID NOT SAY THAT YOU BAKAYARO! " he screamed, " I JUST SAID SHE'S NICE, but now I'd
like to change my opinon on that. " he gritted his teeth.
" Surrrrrre you would. " Goku smirked evilly.
" Dang blasted baka I should... " he grumbled, then turned back to Blenda, who smiled
devilishly at him, " Heh, hi. "
" You'd like to change you're opinon about me huh. Well how about if I change something
about YOU! " she said as Vegeta backed up, " Stupid little winged-monkey. You don't deserve
those wings of yours. " Blenda snickered as she held up her wand & pointed it at Vegeta, causing
his wings to disappear.
Vegeta shrieked like a 2 year old caught in a blender & felt his back for his precious
wings, " WHERE ARE THEY! " he cried.
" Well, you don't have any until you get your attitude adjusted monkey-boy. Later. "
Blenda said as she tapped herself with her wand, " By the way, thanks for the compliment. " she
said as she disappeared.
" My...wings... " Vegeta sniffled as Goku patted him on the back.
" Hey Mr. Monkey, I think she likes you too. " he smiled, then recieved a blow to the
face by Vegeta's fist.
" OH SHUT UP! "
" So, this is it huh. " Gohan scratched his head as he stared at the large green doors,
" It's kind of, green. "
" There's an understatement. " Goku said as they stared at the green towers, buildings,
and various other city-istic things drenched in green.
" What's wrong with GREEN! " Piccolo looked down at Goku.
" Uh, nothing, I like green. " he said nervously, then knocked on the door.
" Come on Scarecrap, let'um know we're here! " Vegeta yelled as Goku stepped to the right
with a sneaky smile on his face.
" Would you like to try. " Goku snickered as Vegeta walked up to the door & kicked it.
" HEY BAKA! OPEN THAT BLASTED DOOR RIGHT NOW OR I'LL KNOCK IT DOWN MYSELF!!! " Vegeta
screamed, then getting no response, backed up & ran head first at the frontdoor and slammed into
it, then wobbled backward and fell down.
" Hello? Hello? " a voice said as a small door at the top of the first opened up, " Who
are you? "
Gohan rubbed his eyes, " Kaio-sama? "
" Who are you? What are you doing here. " he said as Goku tilted his head.
" We wanna come in. " Goku smiled.
" Come in? Here? Oh you can't come in here. " the doorman said, then closed the
peephole/door at the top of the door.
" HEY! WAIT! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! " Gohan banged on the door, " OPEN UP! WE NEED TO SEE
THE WIZARD!! "
" Wizard? " Kaio-sama said, " Nobody's aloud to see the wizard! Not no way, not no how. "
Vegeta lept into the air & grabbed the blue sensei by the collar, " LISTEN YOU! I DON'T
CARE! I NEED TO GET IN THERE AND GET MY WISH OR _SOMEBODY_ WILL HAVE TO PAY!! " he screamed as he
held up his fist, " BIG TIME! "
" Don't go ape over it. " Kaio-sama said, then burst into laughter as the small group
stared at him, confused. Kaio-sama looked down at them, " Whatsa matter? Don't you get it. Go
ape? The boy's a monkey-creature? Ape--monkey. HAHAHA! "
" ... " the group stared at Kaio-sama.
" Was that supposed to be a joke? " Goku scratched his head.
" You people have no sense of humor. " Kaio-sama grumbled, " Not a single funnybone in
your entire bodies. "
" But, I'm a scarecrow, I don't have bones. " Goku said, confused. Kaio-sama looked
down and noticed Gohan's sneakers.
" Wha, wha, where did you get those?! " he stuttered.
" Oh, these. Blenda gave them to me. They WERE ruby slippers. " Gohan said as he tapped
his sneakers.
" RUBY SLIPPERS! _THE_ RUBY SLIPPERS OF THE WITCH OF THE EAST! " the doorman, Kaio gasped
" The EX-witch of the east. " Goku grinned.
" WELL! " Kaio-sama smiled, " That's a horse of different shoe size! "
Vegeta raised and eyebrow, " SHOE size??? "
" Come right in! " Kaio-sama said as he opened the door, to reveal that he standing on
a tall stepstool. Kaio jumped down to the ground, " Right this way. Bwahahaha. " he chuckled.
" ALRIGHT! I'm finally gonna find out how I can get home! " Gohan smiled.
" And my FISH! "
" And my heart. "
" And my BRAVERY! "
" ... "
" Well! " Goku turned to Vegeta, " What is that you want so badly from the wizard? Your
wings back? "
" NO! I DON'T NEED THOSE BLASTED THINGS! " Vegeta huffed.
" I mean, what do you desire most Mr. Monkey? " Goku asked.
A large grin engulfed Vegeta's face, " Oh, you'll find out, eventually. " he snickered as
he walked ahead of Goku, who scratched his head.
" He's the strangest little monkey-creature I've ever met. " Goku said to himself, " And
the only one too. "
" OOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOh... " Goku's eyes widened to the size of sauserpans as he watched
all the people of Emerald city skip about, singing, " IT'S LIKE A GIANT MUSICAL CITY! "
" It IS a giant musical city bakayaro. " Vegeta grumbled.
" Tra-lalalala-la-la-la! " one of the merry citizens sang as she pranced around Piccolo,
throwing flowers at him.
Piccolo spat out several petals, then grabbed the citizen by the neck & tossed her
against the wall, " I have allergies. "
" A-Uuu-who-who and a la la la and another hee hee hee, that's how we spend the day away
in the beautiful land of Z. " the citizens sang as a very aggrivated Vegeta covered his ears.
" Tooti-fruiti dee dee dee, and a bunch of other hees, that's how we spend the day away
in the wonderful land of--MMPH! " Goku screamed in a muffled voice as Vegeta clasped his hand
over Goku's mouth. Goku's eyes turned to the left, then widened. He pushed Vegeta away & ran
over to the object.
" OOHEE! OOH OOH! " he screamed like a two-year-old, " LOOK! A PONY! "
" Yes, that is the horse of a different shoe size. " Kaio-sama grinned, " Thought I was
joking about that before huh? " he said as the horse's feet expanded to the size of Hiyah, then
shrunk to a bottlecap size and back to their normal size.
" WHEE! " Goku jumped ontop of the horse, " Can I ride him! "
" You can do better than that. " Kaio-sama pointed to a carrige attached to the horse,
" You can ride behind him. He'll take you to the Wizard's chamber. " he smiled.
" Ohhhhh. " Goku clasped his hands together, then jumped inside the carrige, " WOW! "
" Are you sure it's safe? " Gohan said as he examined the horse, " Does he really know
how to take us to the Wizard? "
" Of course he does, now hop in. Come on, no horse play. " Kaio-sama said as Gohan got
in, " Get it, HORSE-play. It's a HORSE! " he said as Gohan, Hiyah, & Goku stared at him.
" Of FORGET IT! " Kaio-Sama grumbled as he watched Piccolo get in.
Vegeta stared at the horse, who licked him on the cheek. Vegeta wiped the horse saliva
off of his face, " BAKA BEAST! " he shook his fist as the horse's front left foot expanded to
humongous proportions & stomped Vegeta repeatedly.
" Hee-hee-hee. Everyone just loves to hate you lil monkey. " Goku laughed at Vegeta, who
got up, various bruises on his body as he climbed into the carrige with the others & folded his
arms.
" I HATE horses. "
" Whoa. " Kuririn gasped as he stared at the doors in front of him, " So, this is where,
the, the, wizard lives. " he said nervously.
" Yeah. " Gohan said, " DAD I'M COMIN HOME! " he shouted.
" Eee, FISH. " Goku's eyes widened on the second word, then returned to their normal
size, " FISH for meeee. "
Vegeta leaned against the door, which opened, causing him to slip & fall down. Piccolo
chuckled slightly.
" Silly monkey. " Goku said, then picked up Vegeta & set him out of the way. Goku backed
up, then made a mad dash for the room.
" WAIT! I WANT TO GET MY WISH GRANTED _FIRST_!!! " Vegeta cried as he ran after the
others.
" I NEED TO GET HOME! WAIT UP! " Gohan shouted as he ran off, Hiyah right behind him,
followed by Piccolo, who walked calmly in after them.
" Ohhh. " Kuririn gulped, then cautiously tiptoed towards the entrence as Goku poked his
head out from around the doorway, grabbed Kuririn's arm & yanked him inside.
" Hello! Hello! Mr. Wizard! Are you here? " Goku shouted as he & the others walked down
the long green carpet.
" Muh, maybe he's not here. Maybe we should just go home. " Kuririn said nervously.
" GO HOME!? " Vegeta gasped, " I REFUSE TO GO _HOME_ AFTER ALL WE'VE DONE TO GET HERE! I
CAME TO HAVE MY WISHES AND DESIRES GRANTED AND I'M NOT LEAVING UNTIL I GET ALL OF THEM!!! "
" Umm, Vegeta, you can only have ONE wish granted. " Gohan pointed out as Vegeta's face
fell.
" Wha, wha ONE?! " he said, shocked.
" You should be lucky they let you come this far. " Piccolo said disdainfully as Vegeta
narrowed his eyes at the tin namek.
" I hope you rust you baka tin can. " Vegeta grumbled.
" WHO DARES ENTER THE REALM OF THE GREAT AND POWERFUL WIZARD! " a deep voice boomed
from all around the room as Kuririn screamed in fright & leaped into Goku's arms.
" HELP!! " he screamed, then looked at Goku, " PLEASE LET'S GO! I can't go through with
this COME ON! " he yelped.
" Ohhh, LOOK! " Gohan gasped as he pointed at a humongous green head floating above them,
" Are, are, you the Wizard? " his eyes widened.
" No, it's the tooth fairy, OF COURSE IT'S THE WIZARD YOU CHIBI BAKA! " Vegeta yelled at
Gohan who turned back to the gigantic green floating head.
" WHAT HAVE YOU COME HERE FOR! " the wizard said loudly.
" Well, a lot of different reasons actually. " Gohan explained, " The scarecrow here, "
he pointed to Goku, " Came for-- "
" A BIG _FISH_! " Goku waved his arms about hyperactively.
" --uh, right. " Gohan continued, " And the tin namek over there wants a heart, and the
lion wants courage, and I, well, I just want to be able to go home. " Gohan hung his head, " I
miss my family very much. "
" WHAT ABOUT _MY_ WISH! " Vegeta shouted.
" Well, you haven't told me what you want yet. " Gohan noted as Vegeta looked around the
room.
" I have TWO wishes bakayaros. " he grumbled, " First I want to RULE this entire
miserable planet! And second, uhm. " Vegeta blushed, " Uhm, can I talk to you about it in
private? "
" Oooh, Mr. Monkey's got /special/ wish. " Goku smirked.
" I DO NOT! " Vegeta shouted.
" Heh-heh, I bet _I_ know what you want. " Goku snickered, then screamed in pain as
Vegeta kicked him in the croch.
" _YOU_ EXPECT _THE GREAT AND POWERFUL Z_ TO GRANT YOUR WISHES JUST LIKE THAT! " the
wizard yelled angrily as Hiyah & Kuririn coward behind Gohan, " FIRST YOU MUST DO SOMETHING FOR
ME!! "
" For, for you? " Gohan blinked, " Shenlong he ain't. "
" Shenwho? " Goku looked down at the boy & scratched his head.
" He's the eternal dragon. " Gohan grumbled as Goku walked over to Hiyah & patted him on
the head.
" Wow! Are you REALLY!? " Goku gasped as Hiyah rolled his eyes.
" No, not HIM! I mean...oh nevermind. " Gohan sighed, then turned to the wizard, " What
is it you want us to do, exactly? "
" YOU MUST BRING ME THE BROOMSTICK OF THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST! " the wizard yelled
as Kuririn's eyes widened with fright.
" WHAT?! " Kuririn gasped, " HE CAN'T BE SERIOUS!! "
" I _AM_ SERIOUS!!! " the wizard screamed at the top of his lungs as Kuririn rushed down
the hall & leaped out the closed window, breaking the glass into pieces.
" KURIRIN! " Gohan cried as he ran over to the window and stuck his head out, " KURIRIN!
ARE YOU OKAY!? "
" Nuh, never, better..ungh! " Kuririn groaned, then fainted.
Gohan sweatdropped, " This is gonna be harder than I thought. "
