Quote of the week: Diet is just die with a t! -Garfield the Cat
There's No Place Like Home
Chuey's Corner: I have a lot of little ideas right now, but nothing
that really stands out prominent in my mind. I kinda liked this one,
so I'll see where I go with it, if I get it posted, or even if I finish
it for that matter.
Note: I don't own DBZ, Vegeta, Goku, the planet Bejito-Sei and
Note: I own Ruby--Veggie's Mom (From "Mamamia", & I should've
taken a left turn at albaquerque"), Cally, & Icebox-(who makes a brief cameo)
Summary: Goten's gotten sick, and unfortuantely the only medicine that can
cure him is found on Bejito-sei, which, obviously, no longer exists. So Mirai &
the others use the time machine to go find it. However, Mirai has once again
screwed up the past and the group has to find a way to fix it before Vegeta, Bura,
Mirai, & Chibi Trunks are wiped out of existance.
Ages:
Bura: 9
Goten: 10
Chibi Trunks: 11
*************************************************************************************************
" AHHCHOO!! " Goten sneezed, blowing chunks of purple goop out onto his hands.
" Oh man! That's so nasty! " Chibi Trunks said, staring at Goten's now messy hands,
a grin on his face, " Come on, let's go show Bura! "
" Show me what? " the two turned around to see Bura. Goten wiped his hands on his pants
& held his hands out.
" You dummy! You weren't supposed to show her AFTER you wiped it off! " Chibi Trunks
complained.
" Oh. " Goten said, confused.
" Wanna cookie? " Bura asked, grabbing several cookies out of the box in her hand.
Goten looked down at the cookies with delight, then sneezed, sending more purple goop
onto the cookies.
" EEE! " Bura tossed the cookies to the ground, " EEW! Your boogers are PURPLE! "
" What color are they supposed to be? " Goten asked confused.
Bura & Chibi Trunks turned greenish tints as Goten got ready to sneeze again.
" Uh, maybe you should see my Mom about that. " Chibi Trunks said, slightly disqusted.
" He probably just ate a lot of grape jell-o or somethin. " Bura said, then noticed as
several blue spots appeared on Goten's face.
" Can grape jell-o do that? " Chibi Trunks whispered to his sister.
" Uhm, I'm, not sure. " Bura answered.
" *Yawn*! " Vegeta walked down the stairs sleepily.
" HI MR. BURA'S DADDY! " Goten shouted happily. Vegeta looked across the room at Goten &
shrieked, then grabbed a nearby napkin & held it over his mouth & nose. He walked cautiously past
the three children & into the kitchen.
" What's his problem? " Goten asked, now with dozens of blue spots in varying sizes all
over his face.
" Sometimes its best not to ask. " Chibi Trunks rolled his eyes.
Vegeta stuck his head out around the corner, held his breath, then grabbed Bura & pulled
her into the kitchen as well.
" Sheesh, there's nothing weird about blue spots or purple snot. " Chibi
Trunks put his hands on his hips as Goten let out a burp, causing a large green bubble to fly
out of his mouth & hover above the room, " Okay, now THAT'S weird. "
Chibi Trunks walked into the kitchen to see Vegeta vigorous scrubbing Bura with a
washcloth as she sat in the sink in her underwear.
Bura looked at her older brother & shrugged. Chibi Trunks tapped his father on the leg.
" Uh, Toussan? "
" Hmm? " Vegeta looked down at Trunks.
" Why are you giving my sister a bath in the sink? "
" Because I don't want her catching that Kako-brat's disease! " he said, half angry,
half worried.
Trunks peeked in the living room to see Goten now red & enflated, bouncing around the
room like a blown-up balloon. He looked back at his father, " What disease? " he said innocently.
" That little baka, I don't know how he got it but I'm not letting B-Chan get anywhere
near him! "
" You NEVER let her get anywhere near him. " Chibi Trunks pointed out.
" Oh shut up! You don't even know what he has! "
" And you do? "
" It's called the kajaphoopha flu, it only effects sayiajin. Don't ask why because I
don't know. "
" Well, is there a cure for this kajawhatsis thing? "
" Not anymore. " Vegeta grumbled.
" Oh..oh well, I'll go find someone else to play with. " Chibi Trunks said as a very
freaked out Mirai entered the room.
" HI TORANKUSU! " Bura waved.
" WHAT IS THAT!! " Mirai screamed, pointing into the living room. Everyone peeked around
the corner to see Goten, who's now blue head had swelled up to twice the size of his body,
causing it to keep him from standing upright, which didn't help matters much.
Bura looked at her friend's arms from across the room, which were now replaced by
chicken feathers, " Daddy, when did Goten sprout wings? "
" B-CHAN DON'T GO IN THERE! " Vegeta yelped, grabbing Bura & holding her soggy body
against his, " You don't want to catch THAT, do you? "
Bura blinked, " Goten? "
Goten looked at her, then opened his mouth, " SQUALLLLLLK! " he said in a bird's voice.
Vegeta held Bura closer.
" Hell-O! " Goku's voice came from the backdoor.
" Ahh! Kakorot! " Vegeta gasped, glancing over at the door, then back at the still
mutating young boy.
" We're here to pick up Goten! " Chi-Chi called from outside.
" AHHHHH!!! KAKOROT'S MATE!! " he screamed in fear of what would happen to him the moment
she saw Goten.
Goku fumbled with the doorknob, " It's locked. "
Chi-Chi studied the door for a moment, then kicked it in the middle, causing the door
to shake for a moment, then smoothly open, " There. "
" Wow, Chi-Chi you gotta teach me how to do that. " Goku said, stunned, " I mean, If I
did that I'd probably make a hole in the door. "
" Maybe later Goku. " Chi-Chi said, stepping into the kitchen, then sniffed the air,
" Do you smell something? "
Vegeta, Mirai, Chibi Trunks, & Bura were standing in the hallway, all facing the
livingroom, staring at Goten, who had now sprouted a trunk in place of his nose and had various
fruit flies hovering over him.
" WHOA! " a voice gasped in shock as Vegeta looked upward to see Goku, " WHAT HAPPENED
TO GOTEN!!! "
" He's, uh, sick. " Mirai said uneasily.
" With the kajamazoo. " Chibi Trunks added.
" It's called the kajaphoopha you little baka. " Vegeta narrowed his eyes at Chibi.
Chibi Trunks rolled his eyes, " Whatever. "
" Goten? Goten? Go--EEEAHHHHH!!!! " Chi-Chi screamed as she gawked at her son, " GOTEN! "
she rushed over to him, " GOTEN WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU! " she cried.
" I didn't do ANYTHING! " Vegeta huffed as Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at Vegeta, sending
a chill up his spine. She dropped Goten to the ground & ran at Vegeta, who zipped underneath the
kitchen table.
" YOU COME OUT HERE RIGHT NOW YOU SPINELESS HORRIBLE EXCUSE FOR A ROLEMODEL FOR MY
CHILDREN!!! " she screamed, trying to grab Vegeta, who backed up even more.
" KAKOROT DO SOMETHING! " he yelped.
" I am. " Goku said, " I'm enjoying myself. " he snickered as he watched the scene.
Chi-Chi grabbed the kitchen table and held it above her head. Vegeta lept to his feet
and went SSJ2.
" ALRIGHT ONNA! YOU WANT TO FIGHT ME!! " he growled, feeling an adreniline rush of
pride, then lept at Chi-Chi, who grabbed him by the throat & squeezed tightly, " ACK! "
" TELL ME, WHAT YOU DID TO MY SON, OR I SHALL BREAK EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY! "
" ...Mother! " Vegeta gasped for air.
" Chi-Chi! You're sufficating him! " Goku shouted.
" Good! He deserves it! Look what he did to poor Goten! " she pointed at their son, who
now had a small apple tree growing out of the top of his head.
" That is one odd disease. " Chibi Trunks muttered.
" MIRAI SHE'S HURTING TOUSSAN! " Bura sobbed, hugging Mirai's leg.
" Umm, Chi-Chi? " Mirai said meekly.
" WHAT!! "
" Uh, " Mirai sweatdropped, " There's a, a cure for what Goten has, and Dad knows where
it is. So, can you, uh, maybe put him down so he can tell you? "
Chi-Chi looked at Mirai suspicously, then at Vegeta, then at Goku who nodded and dropped
him to the ground.
Vegeta gasped despreately for air, Mirai helped him up.
" Toussan said that Goten has some kinda kaja-whatever sickness that only effects
sayiajins. But the stuff that can cure him comes from, whatever planet he came from, and since
it blew up there's no why to find any medicine. " Chibi Trunks explained, reluctently.
" YOU GAVE MY SON AN UNCURABLE DISEASE! " Chi-Chi shouted, " I BET YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE!
YOU NEVER LIKED GOTEN SO YOU GOT BACK AT HIM BY GETTING HIM SICK! Of course! No one would ever
suspect YOU! WOULD THEY, _SHORTY_! " she said to Vegeta.
" Actually Chi-Chi, we don't know HOW he got sick. " Mirai said.
" ..oh. " Chi-Chi answered.
" But I have an idea how to reverse it, " Mirai continued, " All I have to do is use
the time machine to go back and get some of this stuff before Bejito-Sei blows up. "
" HA! " Vegeta laughed, " Do you really think they'll let just anybody walk into the
royal palace, grab some antidote out of the supply room and leave? "
" Well, after I explain to them my situation, I'm sure that-- "
" Boy, who the heck is going to believe some purple-hairred freak from the future like
you is a saiyan? Or even from the royal family for that matter! "
Chibi Trunks laughed, " ..Purple-haired freak, hehheh..WAITAMINUTE! I'M THAT
PURPLE-HAIRRED FREAK TOO! ~TOUSSAN~!! "
" I guess they might be a little skeptical.. " Mirai trailed off.
" Exactly why you need ME to go! " Vegeta said proudly.
" Need you to go where?! " a voice said from behind them.
" HI MOMMY! " Bura said. Bulma looked down at her daughter.
" Honey where's your clothes? The rest of them I mean. "
" Daddy put them in the wash. " Bura said.
Bulma looked down at Vegeta, " Where do you "need" to go anyway? "
" Nowhere! Now-go-back-and-do-whatever-it-is-you-do-with-your-time-Onna! " Vegeta said
quickly, pushing Bulma back towards the lab door which she had come out of.
Bulma pushed Vegeta to the side.
" We're going to Bejito-Sei mother. " Mirai said as Vegeta, standing behind Bulma,
began to wave his arms frantically about and shaking his head 'no', " Would you like to come? "
Vegeta smacked himself on the face with his hand in frustration.
" Well, I don't know, I have to deal with enough saiyajins around here, I'm not sure I
could handle a planet full of them. " she said as Vegeta nodded vigorously in agreement. Bulma
smirked at her husband, then turned back to Mirai, " Of course I'll go. " she said, then went
into the lab & returned with a spray bottle.
Mirai looked at it, " What's that? "
" Saiyajin repelent. " she answered, " If any of these guys are like Raditz & Nappa then
I'm not taking any chances.
" I'm coming too! " Goku raised his arm.
" Me too! " Bura & Chibi Trunks said.
" I think I'll stay & take care of Goten. " Chi-Chi said, then looked at Goten, who
now had 3 eyes; she pulled out her cellphone, " But first I'll call Gohan to come help me. "
" ..ok then. " Mirai said, then counted, " 4, 5, 6. How are we going to fit 6 people
in the time machine? "
" There's a bigger one in the basement. " Bulma said. Trunks looked at her curiously,
" Another you dropped it off a couple hours ago & said you might need it. "
" Oh. " Mirai said, then heard an excited giggle and looked to his left to see Vegeta
sneering at him.
" What's your problem! "
" Uhm, nothing. " Mirai said, " Nothing at all. "
" Wow, it's big! " Goku said in awe as they stared at the large vehicle.
" The other Mirai said he prestocked it, so everythings ready to go. " Bulma smiled.
" YEEE! "
Goku looked around for the source of the squeal, then shrugged.
" Whoa.. " Chibi Trunks said, climbing inside.
" Do you think we'll really be able to help Goten? " Bura said to Bulma.
" Well, I hope so. " she answered, " If we don't I'm not sure how Gohan & Chi-Chi'll
react. " she said nervously.
" I do. " Goku said happily, " It envolves a spitoon, curtains, and a waffle iron-- "
" --That's enough Goku. " Bulma interupted.
" Enough of what? "
" Look at all the buttons! " Bura gasped, then sniffled, " Goten always used to love
pushing these kinda buttons. "
" So do I. " Chibi Trunks snickered, then slammed his hand down upon several buttons
at once, causing a loud wooping sound to echo throughout the machine. Chibi Trunks looked around
nervously, " I DIDN'T DO IT! I DIDN'T DO IT! "
Bura pressed the buttons again, causing the wooping to stop, then grinned at her brother
& skipped over to the others.
Chibi Trunks grumbled, " I hate time travel. "
" Hey look, a note. " Bulma said pulling a piece of paper off of one of the buttons,
" To start, press lightly. " she looked down at the gigantic red button.
" I'LL DO IT! " Goku shouted happily, slamming both hands on the button as hard as he
could.
" AHH! GOKU NO! " Bulma screamed as the machine began to shake about wildly, tossing
everyone against the wall.
" TOUSSAN!! " Bura cried as Vegeta grabbed her, " WHAT'S HAPPENING!! " she screamed,
frightened.
" Oh, that, we're just breeching the boundries of time & space, that's all. " Mirai
explained calmly, " You get used to it after the first 7 times. "
" Uhhhhhh... " Chibi Trunks moaned, his face turning green.
" Hey Trunks, are you okay? " Mirai asked.
" BLAHHH!! "
" Ohhhhh. " Bulma rubbed her head as she tried to get up, then felt herself fall back
to the floor, " What..happened? "
" The gravity feels kinda heavy. " Goku said.
Chibi Trunks tried for the 5th time to stand up, then fell down again.
" Ech! " Mirai opened his eyes, " Everyone here? " he said, looking around, " 2, 3, 4,
5. Five?! " he said, whipping his head back & forth, " Hey, where's Dad? "
" WHEE! " a voice shouted from outside the ship. Mirai noticed the door to the
time-machine swinging lightly and peeked outside to see Vegeta laying down on the grass, belly-up
laughing insanely.
" Uh, Toussan? " Mirai said, confused as he stepped out of the time-machine, then falling
rather quickly downward, " WAH! "
Vegeta continued to ignore Mirai, then sighed contently.
" HI LITTLE BUDDY! " Goku said happily, looking down at Vegeta, " Are you feeling ok? "
he said, raising an eyebrow.
Vegeta lept to his feet & grabbed Goku by the arms, " AM I OK! " he shouted, then grinned
widely, " I'M MORE THAN OKAY! I'M HOME KAKOROT! " he cried, hugging Goku, who looked down at
the short ouji in a bewildered way, " I haven't been home for 35 YEARS Kakorot! THIRTY-FIVE
_YEARS_!! " he said, tears streaming down his cheeks.
" Err, that's nice Vegeta--you wanna let me go now? " Goku said as Vegeta's eyes popped
open.
" ...Oh my God I'm hugging Kakorot... " he muttered in shock, then pushed Goku away,
" AHH! I'VE GOT KAKOROT GERMS ALL OVER ME! " Vegeta said in disqust, then stopped, " Oh who
gives a hoot! I'm HOME! On MY planet! " he said, running to the edge of the hill they had landed
on, then gasped at the towns below, " SUBJECTS! KAKOROT! MY SUBJECTS! MY PEOPLE! HAHA! " Vegeta
laughed happily.
Goku walked over to him, rubbing his elbow, " Huh? "
Vegeta grabbed Goku & pulled him over, " LOOK! WHAT DO YOU SEE! "
" Uh, people? "
" NOT JUST ANY PEOPLE BAKA! " he yelled angrily, then smiled, " SAIYAJINS! LIKE US! "
" ..so? "
" SO! " Vegeta said, " Sometimes I just don't understand you Kakorot. " he sighed.
" What's to understand. I see people everyday. "
" Of our OWN species?! "
" Yeah, I guess you're right. "
" I'm ALWAYS right baka! " Vegeta rolled his eyes, " Now let's go meet everyone! " he
said unusually cheerfully, grabbing Goku by the arm and running down the hill.
Mirai backed up, then ran after them, " BUT TOUSSAN! WHAT ABOUT THE MEDICINE! WE CAME
HERE TO HELP GOTEN! "
Vegeta looked back at the timetraveler, " WE CAN DO THAT LATER BOY! Besides, that brat
can wait a little while longer. " he said as they neared the city.
Mirai stopped for a second, " I have a bad feeling about this. " he sighed, then raced
on after them.
" Sire, will you come here for a moment? " one of the servants said as Prince Bejito
looked across the room.
" What happened? " he said as he walked over to the glass wall where various other
servants staring out of.
" I wonder what it is. " Nappa said as he ran his hand through his humongous afro. ;D
" What what is? " Bejito said as Nappa pointed to a large circular object several miles
past the city.
" You don't think its the Icejin do you? " he asked as Bejito looked at the object,
" No, actually, I'm not sure what it is. " Bejito said, his eye catching another window. He
walked over to it to see two figures below, fighting.
" Freezer...and..Ruby?! "
" AHH! WHAT'S SHE DOING FIGHTING HIM! " Bejito shouted in a panic, " DOES SHE WANT TO
SEND INTO ANOTHER WAR! "
Nappa shrugged, " Apparently. "
" She's fought him so many times why doesn't she just kill him! He's a threat to us, and
she's more than powerful enough to do it! I don't get it! "
" Maybe she just likes beating him up. " Nappa said.
Bejito sighed, " Probably, but, how many times does she have to do that before she
realizes that she's putting us all in danger! "
Nappa looked down at Bejito, " I don't think she really cares. "
" I...HATE..MONKEYS!!!! " Freezer screamed, enraged as he tried to get up again, Cooler
snickering at him.
Icebox rolled her eyes, " Are you done yet? "
" NO I AM NOT DONE YET!! " Freezer yelled, then turned to face the super saiyajin across
from him, who quickly disappeared, " Where'd she go?--AGH! " he yelped as Ruby's fist connected
with the back of his head, knocking him to the ground already.
" Now, I think he's done. " Ruby smirked, then kicked Freezer in the side as he lay
there, trying to get up again, " Gravity here's pretty strong, ain't it? " she snickered.
Freezer got up and walked, half-limping, over to Ruby, " I despise you! I SHALL TAKE
REVENGE UPON YOU AND ALL YOUR KIN! "
Ruby looked at him, confused, " My what? "
" Your family, Rubes. " Bardock whispered to her.
" Oh. " Ruby said calmly, " Well, all I got is my sister over there, " she said, pointing
to Cally who was desprately trying to get reception on a small, crudely-made, TV, " I actually
don't mind if ya mess her up. She's a pain anyway &-- "
" I GOT IT! " Cally shouted in a perky voice.
" Got it? Got what! " Ruby shouted as Freezer began to tip-toe away.
" The reception for my shows! The bald & the beautiful's comin on! " she said happily as
Ruby & Bardock sweatdropped.
" I must've been adopted. " Ruby groaned, then noticed Freezer out of the corner of her
eye, went SSJ & sent a blast at him, which he nearly dodged, then ran off.
She smirked, " I love watching him run away in fear, but then again, he never had a
chance in the first place. NOBODY can defeat the Legendary Super Saiyajin! " she said proudly.
" You're full of yourself, you know that? " Bardock said.
" I am NOT! " Ruby said defensively.
" De-nile! " Cally said in a sing-song voice. Ruby shot a small ki-blast at Cally's
mini-TV, vaporizing it, " HEY! "
" Saiyajins don't watch SOAP OPERAS! "
" I do. "
Bardock picked up the broken TV, " Not anymore you don't. "
" Whoa... " Mirai Trunks said as he entered the city, unaware that various passers-by
were staring at him.
" Mommy, who's that strange man with the purple hair? "
" I don't know sweetie, he's probably just a freak-of-nature, don't touch him. " the
mother said as she dragged her child across the street.
Mirai sweatdropped, then noticed Vegeta run into a nearby resturant with a big
goofy grin on his face, dragging Goku behind him, who was flailing about in the air.
" Toussan! " he shouted, then ran up to the door only to come face to face with a large,
bull-dog-face-like.
Mirai looked up at him, " Oh, hello. "
" ... "
" Umm, could you move for a second, I need to get in there. "
" No your not. " the big, husky guard said in a deep newyork accent, not moving a muscle.
" Well, you see, I need to see my father, he, just ran in there and we need him back at
the time machine. "
" ... "
" I'm a, time traveler. " Mirai explained, " I'm from a planet called Earth in the future
, but, not this future, the future of another dimension of that planet. "
" ... "
" I'm the Prince's son. "
" ...How old are you kid? "
" 21. "
" Prince Bejito is 23. Therefore, dere is no way you could be his son. "
" Bejito? OH! Of course not! "
" Good, I'm glad we have an understanding. "
" I'm his GRANDson! "
The guard looked down at Mirai skeptically as Mirai did his best impersonation of a
SonGoku smile.
" Ya know, maybe I'll, just, be going now. " Mirai said, backing up.
" ... "
" Err, yah... " Mirai said, then tip toed off past the resturant, only to zip through the
back door. He peeked into the resturant to Goku & Vegeta stuffing their faces as fast as they
could with as much food as could fit in their mouths at one time.
" MMPH MPPHM! " Goku said with his mouth full, then swallowed, " COME ON MIRAI! IT'S
FREE! "
Mirai walked over to them, " Free? " he said, suspicous.
" Yeah! Vegeta told me that since he's the Prince, and since this is his planet, that
he gets to eat as much as he wants for free. "
" And what about you? "
" He's letting me eat free too! He must be in a _REALLY_ good mood. "
Mirai glanced at Vegeta, who had just finished off what was left at the buffet, " Either
that or he's been nipping at something. " Mirai narrowed his eyes.
" Excuse me. " one of the waiters said, tapping Vegeta on the back, " How would you like
to pay for that. "
Vegeta smirked, " I don't need to PAY for it BAKA. _I_ am the saiyajin no ouji. I can
do anything I want. " he crossed his arms.
" Oh?...OH! " the waiter said, " Well, EXCUSE me your majesty. I didn't recognize you
8 inches shorter & without your mustache & beard. " he said sarcastically, " Why don't you come
this way. " the waiter said as he motioned Vegeta to the exit, then picked him & kicked him out
of the resturant, slaming the door behind him.
" Hey little buddy! " Goku shouted, running outside, Mirai following him, " Are you okay?
Anything hurt? "
" You mean, besides my pride & honor Kakorot? " Vegeta said in a monotone.
" Yeah, besides that. " Goku said. Vegeta lept to his feet & smacked Goku against the
wall.
" Well, for instance, YOU! " he screamed.
" TOUSSAN! " Mirai shouted as Vegeta dropped Goku & grabbed Mirai instead.
" YOU BAKAYARO! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME I DON'T EXIST YET!!! YOU MADE ME MAKE A FOOL OF
MYSELF!" Vegeta screamed at the top of his lungs.
" Come on Vegeta, he didn't know what year we landed in any better than you did. " Goku
said as Vegeta went SSJ2 & dropped Mirai.
" ARE YOU SAYING I AM SO INCOMPETANT THAT I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM! " he growled.
" No, I'm saying that--WAAUGH!!! " Goku cried as Vegeta's fist plunged into his gut.
The taller saiyajin went SSJ3, grabbed Vegeta's leg & flipped him over his head. Vegeta got up &
flew at Goku again, who quickly dissappeared & reappeared to the side. Vegeta made a U-turn &
flew back at him. This time Goku pulled him by the hair & smacked him down on the pavement.
" I think you should say yes. " Cally said to Ruby, who looked at her uneasily.
" I don't know...you're just saying that because you want a nephew or a niece or whatever
they call it, so bad. "
" If I were you I wouldn't. I don't trust Bejito. " Bardock said.
" Neither do I, I don't know why, but for some reason I'm thinking about telling him
yes. " Ruby shrugged, then walked into a large figure.
" Do you mind? " a voice said from behind Goku as the SSJ3 turned to see a familiar
figure staring at him.
" Hey little buddy, she looks kinda like your mom. " Goku observed.
" EXCUSE ME!? " Ruby said, taken aback.
" Yeah, she looks a lot like her. " Goku continued.
" Are you insulting me "buddy"? " she narrowed her eyes, " Because if I wanted I could
blast you across the planet. " she boasted, going SSJ.
" Aww, no ya couldn't! " Goku smiled, " I'm the second most powerful saiyajin alive. "
" And I'm the first. "
" Eh? " Goku raised an eyebrow as Ruby tossed a huge ki-blast at him. Goku quickly
dodged it.
" KA...ME... "
Ruby stared at him, confused.
" HA....ME....HAAAAAAAA!!!! " he shouted, sending a gigantic blast of energy at her.
Ruby smiled, then caught it one hand & tossed the kamehameha up & down like it was made
of air, " THIS is the best you could do? " she said as Goku & Mirai stared at her, their jaws
hanging open, " I figured. " Ruby said, throwing the kamehameha over her shoulder, sending it
flying into the sky & blowing up a nearby star, " All show. " she nodded, then felt a smack
across the neck & turned to see Goku, who tackled her. Ruby disappeared & reappeared a couple
feet away, only to come face-to-face with him again. She slid underneath him & grabbed his gi,
causing him to slip & fall down. Once on the ground he kicked his foot across hers, causing her
to slip slightly enough to temporarily let go of his gi. Goku got up & punched her in the stomach
. Ruby pulled his arm away & swung him around, then tossed him off. Goku recovered by rebounding
off of a nearby tree & heading back towards her. Ruby quickly ducked, then flew up & at Goku, who
was still cureening the other way. She gained speed & kicked him at the side, then tossed a large
blast at him.
::There's something familiar about her:: Goku thought to himself as he continued to fall
downward, then stopped in mid-flight, " But what! "
" BIG-- "
Bardock looked up, to see Ruby forming an unbelievably large ball of ki, " DON'T! YOU'LL
BLOW US ALL UP!!! "
" BANG-- "
" Run for cover! " Cally shouted, looking at the reading on her scouter as she lept
behind a nearby rock.
" --ATTACK!!! "
Goku snapped his fingers, " OH YEAH! Now I know! She reminds me of Vegeta! " he said,
then felt the wind pick up from behind as he whipped around to see the blast, then put his hands
out in a desperate move to try & catch the energy ball. He held on to it, but felt himself being
pressed deeper into the ground until it created a large 10 ft wide hole. The power exploded,
emitting a volcano-like effect.
Everyone froze for a moment, then the group slowly walked over to the hole.
" WHEW! " Goku sighed in relief as he hopped out of the hole, now powered down, " For
a minute there, I thought I was a goner. I could use a senzu seed right now. " he said, then
looked down at his body, which was now partially mutilated. Goku cringed, " Ya know, scratch
that, I could use a whole TRUCK-FULL of 'um. "
Ruby shook his hand, " Thanks. "
" Whad I do? "
" YOU just helped me stop from making a horrible decision. " she smiled.
" How'd I do that? "
" Well, Bejito, you know, the royal pain, asked me if I wanted to marry him, but if I
did then I'd eventually start a family & have no time for battling at all. So, I've decided to
tell him no. It'll be much less messy that way AND I won't have to listen to my sister over there
beg me to give her a nephew. " she explained, " I mean, I'd NEVER wanna miss any more fights like
the one I just had against you, uhh-- "
Goku thought for a moment, " --Kakorot, but everyone calls me Son Goku. "
" Glad ta meet ya Kakorot. " she said, " Come on 'Doc, let's go. "
Bardock looked over at Cally, who was about to start bawling, " Ok, but, maybe we outta
stop & get Cally some tissues first. "
Ruby shrugged, " Eh, whatever. "
Vegeta walked out of the resturant he had just been thrown out of, which was now
engulfed in flames, with a barrel-full of food in his arms. Mirai Trunks & Goku still watching
the trio leave.
" Hey, were'd you get all the food? " Goku asked.
" I 'reasoned' with the manager. " Vegeta snickered as he tossed an odd-looking fruit
into his mouth.
Goku looked at Mirai, " You don't think that one fight changed the future very much,
do you?"
" Well, since this planet blows up anyway, I doubt two more single people are going to
make that much of a difference. "
Vegeta looked up at the group from before, which had just left, " KAASAN! " he shouted
happily as Mirai sweatdropped.
" What? " Mirai said to Vegeta, his face pale.
" IT'S KAASAN! " Vegeta said excitedly, dropping the food & pointing to Ruby.
" SHE'S your MOM!!! " Mirai gagged.
" What did you expect my mother to look like! " Vegeta growled at Mirai.
" No! That's not it. I, just, oh Dende what've I done! " Mirai bit his lip.
" I KNEW she reminded me of Vegeta. Exact same ego. " Goku nodded.
Mirai grabbed Goku by the shoulders, a panicy look on his face, " GOKU! DON'T YOU KNOW
WHAT THIS MEANS!! "
" ...no, no I don't. "
" IT MEANS THAT WITHOUT MY GRANDMA & GRANDPA TOGETHER, TOUSSAN WON'T BE BORN! AND IF
HE'S NOT BORN THEN THAT MEANS I WON'T BE BORN TO TRAVEL BACK IN TIME TO WARN YOU GUYS AND IF I'M
NOT THERE TO WARN YOU THEN THE OTHER ME AND BURA WON'T BE BORN EITHER!!! WE'LL ALL CEASE TO
EXIST! WE'LL DISAPPEAR!! " Mirai screamed, frightened.
" Hey! Just like in "Back to the Future"! " Goku grinned.
" That was a MOVIE Goku. This is REALITY! We don't know if we'll have a happy ending! "
" But I thought this was an animé. " Goku scratched his head.
" First thing we have do is go back & tell Mom, Trunks, & Bura. " Mirai said.
Vegeta raised an eyebrow, " Trunks? "
" Yeah, Trunks! You know, the other me! " Mirai exclaimed.
" Wow, all that time travel's gotten to you Mirai. You KNOW you're the only Trunks. "
Goku said as Mirai looked at him, wide-eyed. He went over to Vegeta & grabbed his wallet.
" YOU BAKA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! " Vegeta screamed as Mirai flipped though the wallet,
then smiled as he pulled out a driver's ID.
" Here we go. " he said, then read down the ID, showing it to Vegeta, " See, it says
right here, Vegeta Briefs, children: 1...ONE?! "
" Hai, ONE! " Vegeta sneered as he grabbed the ID, " One as in ONE! "
" Yeah Mirai, Bura's ol Veggiebrain's only kid, you know that. " Goku said.
Mirai put his hands on the sides of his head in shock.
" Oh man, I am so dead... "

Quote of the week: Diet is just die with a t! -Garfield the Cat
There's No Place Like Home
Chuey's Corner: I have a lot of little ideas right now, but nothing
that really stands out prominent in my mind. I kinda liked this one,
so I'll see where I go with it, if I get it posted, or even if I finish
it for that matter.
Note: I don't own DBZ, Vegeta, Goku, the planet Bejito-Sei and
Note: I own Ruby--Veggie's Mom (From "Mamamia", & I should've
taken a left turn at albaquerque"), Cally, & Icebox-(who makes a brief cameo)
Summary: Goten's gotten sick, and unfortuantely the only medicine that can
cure him is found on Bejito-sei, which, obviously, no longer exists. So Mirai &
the others use the time machine to go find it. However, Mirai has once again
screwed up the past and the group has to find a way to fix it before Vegeta, Bura,
Mirai, & Chibi Trunks are wiped out of existance.
Ages:
Bura: 9
Goten: 10
Chibi Trunks: 11
*************************************************************************************************
" AHHCHOO!! " Goten sneezed, blowing chunks of purple goop out onto his hands.
" Oh man! That's so nasty! " Chibi Trunks said, staring at Goten's now messy hands,
a grin on his face, " Come on, let's go show Bura! "
" Show me what? " the two turned around to see Bura. Goten wiped his hands on his pants
& held his hands out.
" You dummy! You weren't supposed to show her AFTER you wiped it off! " Chibi Trunks
complained.
" Oh. " Goten said, confused.
" Wanna cookie? " Bura asked, grabbing several cookies out of the box in her hand.
Goten looked down at the cookies with delight, then sneezed, sending more purple goop
onto the cookies.
" EEE! " Bura tossed the cookies to the ground, " EEW! Your boogers are PURPLE! "
" What color are they supposed to be? " Goten asked confused.
Bura & Chibi Trunks turned greenish tints as Goten got ready to sneeze again.
" Uh, maybe you should see my Mom about that. " Chibi Trunks said, slightly disqusted.
" He probably just ate a lot of grape jell-o or somethin. " Bura said, then noticed as
several blue spots appeared on Goten's face.
" Can grape jell-o do that? " Chibi Trunks whispered to his sister.
" Uhm, I'm, not sure. " Bura answered.
" *Yawn*! " Vegeta walked down the stairs sleepily.
" HI MR. BURA'S DADDY! " Goten shouted happily. Vegeta looked across the room at Goten &
shrieked, then grabbed a nearby napkin & held it over his mouth & nose. He walked cautiously past
the three children & into the kitchen.
" What's his problem? " Goten asked, now with dozens of blue spots in varying sizes all
over his face.
" Sometimes its best not to ask. " Chibi Trunks rolled his eyes.
Vegeta stuck his head out around the corner, held his breath, then grabbed Bura & pulled
her into the kitchen as well.
" Sheesh, there's nothing weird about blue spots or purple snot. " Chibi
Trunks put his hands on his hips as Goten let out a burp, causing a large green bubble to fly
out of his mouth & hover above the room, " Okay, now THAT'S weird. "
Chibi Trunks walked into the kitchen to see Vegeta vigorous scrubbing Bura with a
washcloth as she sat in the sink in her underwear.
Bura looked at her older brother & shrugged. Chibi Trunks tapped his father on the leg.
" Uh, Toussan? "
" Hmm? " Vegeta looked down at Trunks.
" Why are you giving my sister a bath in the sink? "
" Because I don't want her catching that Kako-brat's disease! " he said, half angry,
half worried.
Trunks peeked in the living room to see Goten now red & enflated, bouncing around the
room like a blown-up balloon. He looked back at his father, " What disease? " he said innocently.
" That little baka, I don't know how he got it but I'm not letting B-Chan get anywhere
near him! "
" You NEVER let her get anywhere near him. " Chibi Trunks pointed out.
" Oh shut up! You don't even know what he has! "
" And you do? "
" It's called the kajaphoopha flu, it only effects sayiajin. Don't ask why because I
don't know. "
" Well, is there a cure for this kajawhatsis thing? "
" Not anymore. " Vegeta grumbled.
" Oh..oh well, I'll go find someone else to play with. " Chibi Trunks said as a very
freaked out Mirai entered the room.
" HI TORANKUSU! " Bura waved.
" WHAT IS THAT!! " Mirai screamed, pointing into the living room. Everyone peeked around
the corner to see Goten, who's now blue head had swelled up to twice the size of his body,
causing it to keep him from standing upright, which didn't help matters much.
Bura looked at her friend's arms from across the room, which were now replaced by
chicken feathers, " Daddy, when did Goten sprout wings? "
" B-CHAN DON'T GO IN THERE! " Vegeta yelped, grabbing Bura & holding her soggy body
against his, " You don't want to catch THAT, do you? "
Bura blinked, " Goten? "
Goten looked at her, then opened his mouth, " SQUALLLLLLK! " he said in a bird's voice.
Vegeta held Bura closer.
" Hell-O! " Goku's voice came from the backdoor.
" Ahh! Kakorot! " Vegeta gasped, glancing over at the door, then back at the still
mutating young boy.
" We're here to pick up Goten! " Chi-Chi called from outside.
" AHHHHH!!! KAKOROT'S MATE!! " he screamed in fear of what would happen to him the moment
she saw Goten.
Goku fumbled with the doorknob, " It's locked. "
Chi-Chi studied the door for a moment, then kicked it in the middle, causing the door
to shake for a moment, then smoothly open, " There. "
" Wow, Chi-Chi you gotta teach me how to do that. " Goku said, stunned, " I mean, If I
did that I'd probably make a hole in the door. "
" Maybe later Goku. " Chi-Chi said, stepping into the kitchen, then sniffed the air,
" Do you smell something? "
Vegeta, Mirai, Chibi Trunks, & Bura were standing in the hallway, all facing the
livingroom, staring at Goten, who had now sprouted a trunk in place of his nose and had various
fruit flies hovering over him.
" WHOA! " a voice gasped in shock as Vegeta looked upward to see Goku, " WHAT HAPPENED
TO GOTEN!!! "
" He's, uh, sick. " Mirai said uneasily.
" With the kajamazoo. " Chibi Trunks added.
" It's called the kajaphoopha you little baka. " Vegeta narrowed his eyes at Chibi.
Chibi Trunks rolled his eyes, " Whatever. "
" Goten? Goten? Go--EEEAHHHHH!!!! " Chi-Chi screamed as she gawked at her son, " GOTEN! "
she rushed over to him, " GOTEN WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU! " she cried.
" I didn't do ANYTHING! " Vegeta huffed as Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at Vegeta, sending
a chill up his spine. She dropped Goten to the ground & ran at Vegeta, who zipped underneath the
kitchen table.
" YOU COME OUT HERE RIGHT NOW YOU SPINELESS HORRIBLE EXCUSE FOR A ROLEMODEL FOR MY
CHILDREN!!! " she screamed, trying to grab Vegeta, who backed up even more.
" KAKOROT DO SOMETHING! " he yelped.
" I am. " Goku said, " I'm enjoying myself. " he snickered as he watched the scene.
Chi-Chi grabbed the kitchen table and held it above her head. Vegeta lept to his feet
and went SSJ2.
" ALRIGHT ONNA! YOU WANT TO FIGHT ME!! " he growled, feeling an adreniline rush of
pride, then lept at Chi-Chi, who grabbed him by the throat & squeezed tightly, " ACK! "
" TELL ME, WHAT YOU DID TO MY SON, OR I SHALL BREAK EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY! "
" ...Mother! " Vegeta gasped for air.
" Chi-Chi! You're sufficating him! " Goku shouted.
" Good! He deserves it! Look what he did to poor Goten! " she pointed at their son, who
now had a small apple tree growing out of the top of his head.
" That is one odd disease. " Chibi Trunks muttered.
" MIRAI SHE'S HURTING TOUSSAN! " Bura sobbed, hugging Mirai's leg.
" Umm, Chi-Chi? " Mirai said meekly.
" WHAT!! "
" Uh, " Mirai sweatdropped, " There's a, a cure for what Goten has, and Dad knows where
it is. So, can you, uh, maybe put him down so he can tell you? "
Chi-Chi looked at Mirai suspicously, then at Vegeta, then at Goku who nodded and dropped
him to the ground.
Vegeta gasped despreately for air, Mirai helped him up.
" Toussan said that Goten has some kinda kaja-whatever sickness that only effects
sayiajins. But the stuff that can cure him comes from, whatever planet he came from, and since
it blew up there's no why to find any medicine. " Chibi Trunks explained, reluctently.
" YOU GAVE MY SON AN UNCURABLE DISEASE! " Chi-Chi shouted, " I BET YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE!
YOU NEVER LIKED GOTEN SO YOU GOT BACK AT HIM BY GETTING HIM SICK! Of course! No one would ever
suspect YOU! WOULD THEY, _SHORTY_! " she said to Vegeta.
" Actually Chi-Chi, we don't know HOW he got sick. " Mirai said.
" ..oh. " Chi-Chi answered.
" But I have an idea how to reverse it, " Mirai continued, " All I have to do is use
the time machine to go back and get some of this stuff before Bejito-Sei blows up. "
" HA! " Vegeta laughed, " Do you really think they'll let just anybody walk into the
royal palace, grab some antidote out of the supply room and leave? "
" Well, after I explain to them my situation, I'm sure that-- "
" Boy, who the heck is going to believe some purple-hairred freak from the future like
you is a saiyan? Or even from the royal family for that matter! "
Chibi Trunks laughed, " ..Purple-haired freak, hehheh..WAITAMINUTE! I'M THAT
PURPLE-HAIRRED FREAK TOO! ~TOUSSAN~!! "
" I guess they might be a little skeptical.. " Mirai trailed off.
" Exactly why you need ME to go! " Vegeta said proudly.
" Need you to go where?! " a voice said from behind them.
" HI MOMMY! " Bura said. Bulma looked down at her daughter.
" Honey where's your clothes? The rest of them I mean. "
" Daddy put them in the wash. " Bura said.
Bulma looked down at Vegeta, " Where do you "need" to go anyway? "
" Nowhere! Now-go-back-and-do-whatever-it-is-you-do-with-your-time-Onna! " Vegeta said
quickly, pushing Bulma back towards the lab door which she had come out of.
Bulma pushed Vegeta to the side.
" We're going to Bejito-Sei mother. " Mirai said as Vegeta, standing behind Bulma,
began to wave his arms frantically about and shaking his head 'no', " Would you like to come? "
Vegeta smacked himself on the face with his hand in frustration.
" Well, I don't know, I have to deal with enough saiyajins around here, I'm not sure I
could handle a planet full of them. " she said as Vegeta nodded vigorously in agreement. Bulma
smirked at her husband, then turned back to Mirai, " Of course I'll go. " she said, then went
into the lab & returned with a spray bottle.
Mirai looked at it, " What's that? "
" Saiyajin repelent. " she answered, " If any of these guys are like Raditz & Nappa then
I'm not taking any chances.
" I'm coming too! " Goku raised his arm.
" Me too! " Bura & Chibi Trunks said.
" I think I'll stay & take care of Goten. " Chi-Chi said, then looked at Goten, who
now had 3 eyes; she pulled out her cellphone, " But first I'll call Gohan to come help me. "
" ..ok then. " Mirai said, then counted, " 4, 5, 6. How are we going to fit 6 people
in the time machine? "
" There's a bigger one in the basement. " Bulma said. Trunks looked at her curiously,
" Another you dropped it off a couple hours ago & said you might need it. "
" Oh. " Mirai said, then heard an excited giggle and looked to his left to see Vegeta
sneering at him.
" What's your problem! "
" Uhm, nothing. " Mirai said, " Nothing at all. "
" Wow, it's big! " Goku said in awe as they stared at the large vehicle.
" The other Mirai said he prestocked it, so everythings ready to go. " Bulma smiled.
" YEEE! "
Goku looked around for the source of the squeal, then shrugged.
" Whoa.. " Chibi Trunks said, climbing inside.
" Do you think we'll really be able to help Goten? " Bura said to Bulma.
" Well, I hope so. " she answered, " If we don't I'm not sure how Gohan & Chi-Chi'll
react. " she said nervously.
" I do. " Goku said happily, " It envolves a spitoon, curtains, and a waffle iron-- "
" --That's enough Goku. " Bulma interupted.
" Enough of what? "
" Look at all the buttons! " Bura gasped, then sniffled, " Goten always used to love
pushing these kinda buttons. "
" So do I. " Chibi Trunks snickered, then slammed his hand down upon several buttons
at once, causing a loud wooping sound to echo throughout the machine. Chibi Trunks looked around
nervously, " I DIDN'T DO IT! I DIDN'T DO IT! "
Bura pressed the buttons again, causing the wooping to stop, then grinned at her brother
& skipped over to the others.
Chibi Trunks grumbled, " I hate time travel. "
" Hey look, a note. " Bulma said pulling a piece of paper off of one of the buttons,
" To start, press lightly. " she looked down at the gigantic red button.
" I'LL DO IT! " Goku shouted happily, slamming both hands on the button as hard as he
could.
" AHH! GOKU NO! " Bulma screamed as the machine began to shake about wildly, tossing
everyone against the wall.
" TOUSSAN!! " Bura cried as Vegeta grabbed her, " WHAT'S HAPPENING!! " she screamed,
frightened.
" Oh, that, we're just breeching the boundries of time & space, that's all. " Mirai
explained calmly, " You get used to it after the first 7 times. "
" Uhhhhhh... " Chibi Trunks moaned, his face turning green.
" Hey Trunks, are you okay? " Mirai asked.
" BLAHHH!! "
" Ohhhhh. " Bulma rubbed her head as she tried to get up, then felt herself fall back
to the floor, " What..happened? "
" The gravity feels kinda heavy. " Goku said.
Chibi Trunks tried for the 5th time to stand up, then fell down again.
" Ech! " Mirai opened his eyes, " Everyone here? " he said, looking around, " 2, 3, 4,
5. Five?! " he said, whipping his head back & forth, " Hey, where's Dad? "
" WHEE! " a voice shouted from outside the ship. Mirai noticed the door to the
time-machine swinging lightly and peeked outside to see Vegeta laying down on the grass, belly-up
laughing insanely.
" Uh, Toussan? " Mirai said, confused as he stepped out of the time-machine, then falling
rather quickly downward, " WAH! "
Vegeta continued to ignore Mirai, then sighed contently.
" HI LITTLE BUDDY! " Goku said happily, looking down at Vegeta, " Are you feeling ok? "
he said, raising an eyebrow.
Vegeta lept to his feet & grabbed Goku by the arms, " AM I OK! " he shouted, then grinned
widely, " I'M MORE THAN OKAY! I'M HOME KAKOROT! " he cried, hugging Goku, who looked down at
the short ouji in a bewildered way, " I haven't been home for 35 YEARS Kakorot! THIRTY-FIVE
_YEARS_!! " he said, tears streaming down his cheeks.
" Err, that's nice Vegeta--you wanna let me go now? " Goku said as Vegeta's eyes popped
open.
" ...Oh my God I'm hugging Kakorot... " he muttered in shock, then pushed Goku away,
" AHH! I'VE GOT KAKOROT GERMS ALL OVER ME! " Vegeta said in disqust, then stopped, " Oh who
gives a hoot! I'm HOME! On MY planet! " he said, running to the edge of the hill they had landed
on, then gasped at the towns below, " SUBJECTS! KAKOROT! MY SUBJECTS! MY PEOPLE! HAHA! " Vegeta
laughed happily.
Goku walked over to him, rubbing his elbow, " Huh? "
Vegeta grabbed Goku & pulled him over, " LOOK! WHAT DO YOU SEE! "
" Uh, people? "
" NOT JUST ANY PEOPLE BAKA! " he yelled angrily, then smiled, " SAIYAJINS! LIKE US! "
" ..so? "
" SO! " Vegeta said, " Sometimes I just don't understand you Kakorot. " he sighed.
" What's to understand. I see people everyday. "
" Of our OWN species?! "
" Yeah, I guess you're right. "
" I'm ALWAYS right baka! " Vegeta rolled his eyes, " Now let's go meet everyone! " he
said unusually cheerfully, grabbing Goku by the arm and running down the hill.
Mirai backed up, then ran after them, " BUT TOUSSAN! WHAT ABOUT THE MEDICINE! WE CAME
HERE TO HELP GOTEN! "
Vegeta looked back at the timetraveler, " WE CAN DO THAT LATER BOY! Besides, that brat
can wait a little while longer. " he said as they neared the city.
Mirai stopped for a second, " I have a bad feeling about this. " he sighed, then raced
on after them.
" Sire, will you come here for a moment? " one of the servants said as Prince Bejito
looked across the room.
" What happened? " he said as he walked over to the glass wall where various other
servants staring out of.
" I wonder what it is. " Nappa said as he ran his hand through his humongous afro. ;D
" What what is? " Bejito said as Nappa pointed to a large circular object several miles
past the city.
" You don't think its the Icejin do you? " he asked as Bejito looked at the object,
" No, actually, I'm not sure what it is. " Bejito said, his eye catching another window. He
walked over to it to see two figures below, fighting.
" Freezer...and..Ruby?! "
" AHH! WHAT'S SHE DOING FIGHTING HIM! " Bejito shouted in a panic, " DOES SHE WANT TO
SEND INTO ANOTHER WAR! "
Nappa shrugged, " Apparently. "
" She's fought him so many times why doesn't she just kill him! He's a threat to us, and
she's more than powerful enough to do it! I don't get it! "
" Maybe she just likes beating him up. " Nappa said.
Bejito sighed, " Probably, but, how many times does she have to do that before she
realizes that she's putting us all in danger! "
Nappa looked down at Bejito, " I don't think she really cares. "
" I...HATE..MONKEYS!!!! " Freezer screamed, enraged as he tried to get up again, Cooler
snickering at him.
Icebox rolled her eyes, " Are you done yet? "
" NO I AM NOT DONE YET!! " Freezer yelled, then turned to face the super saiyajin across
from him, who quickly disappeared, " Where'd she go?--AGH! " he yelped as Ruby's fist connected
with the back of his head, knocking him to the ground already.
" Now, I think he's done. " Ruby smirked, then kicked Freezer in the side as he lay
there, trying to get up again, " Gravity here's pretty strong, ain't it? " she snickered.
Freezer got up and walked, half-limping, over to Ruby, " I despise you! I SHALL TAKE
REVENGE UPON YOU AND ALL YOUR KIN! "
Ruby looked at him, confused, " My what? "
" Your family, Rubes. " Bardock whispered to her.
" Oh. " Ruby said calmly, " Well, all I got is my sister over there, " she said, pointing
to Cally who was desprately trying to get reception on a small, crudely-made, TV, " I actually
don't mind if ya mess her up. She's a pain anyway &-- "
" I GOT IT! " Cally shouted in a perky voice.
" Got it? Got what! " Ruby shouted as Freezer began to tip-toe away.
" The reception for my shows! The bald & the beautiful's comin on! " she said happily as
Ruby & Bardock sweatdropped.
" I must've been adopted. " Ruby groaned, then noticed Freezer out of the corner of her
eye, went SSJ & sent a blast at him, which he nearly dodged, then ran off.
She smirked, " I love watching him run away in fear, but then again, he never had a
chance in the first place. NOBODY can defeat the Legendary Super Saiyajin! " she said proudly.
" You're full of yourself, you know that? " Bardock said.
" I am NOT! " Ruby said defensively.
" De-nile! " Cally said in a sing-song voice. Ruby shot a small ki-blast at Cally's
mini-TV, vaporizing it, " HEY! "
" Saiyajins don't watch SOAP OPERAS! "
" I do. "
Bardock picked up the broken TV, " Not anymore you don't. "
" Whoa... " Mirai Trunks said as he entered the city, unaware that various passers-by
were staring at him.
" Mommy, who's that strange man with the purple hair? "
" I don't know sweetie, he's probably just a freak-of-nature, don't touch him. " the
mother said as she dragged her child across the street.
Mirai sweatdropped, then noticed Vegeta run into a nearby resturant with a big
goofy grin on his face, dragging Goku behind him, who was flailing about in the air.
" Toussan! " he shouted, then ran up to the door only to come face to face with a large,
bull-dog-face-like.
Mirai looked up at him, " Oh, hello. "
" ... "
" Umm, could you move for a second, I need to get in there. "
" No your not. " the big, husky guard said in a deep newyork accent, not moving a muscle.
" Well, you see, I need to see my father, he, just ran in there and we need him back at
the time machine. "
" ... "
" I'm a, time traveler. " Mirai explained, " I'm from a planet called Earth in the future
, but, not this future, the future of another dimension of that planet. "
" ... "
" I'm the Prince's son. "
" ...How old are you kid? "
" 21. "
" Prince Bejito is 23. Therefore, dere is no way you could be his son. "
" Bejito? OH! Of course not! "
" Good, I'm glad we have an understanding. "
" I'm his GRANDson! "
The guard looked down at Mirai skeptically as Mirai did his best impersonation of a
SonGoku smile.
" Ya know, maybe I'll, just, be going now. " Mirai said, backing up.
" ... "
" Err, yah... " Mirai said, then tip toed off past the resturant, only to zip through the
back door. He peeked into the resturant to Goku & Vegeta stuffing their faces as fast as they
could with as much food as could fit in their mouths at one time.
" MMPH MPPHM! " Goku said with his mouth full, then swallowed, " COME ON MIRAI! IT'S
FREE! "
Mirai walked over to them, " Free? " he said, suspicous.
" Yeah! Vegeta told me that since he's the Prince, and since this is his planet, that
he gets to eat as much as he wants for free. "
" And what about you? "
" He's letting me eat free too! He must be in a _REALLY_ good mood. "
Mirai glanced at Vegeta, who had just finished off what was left at the buffet, " Either
that or he's been nipping at something. " Mirai narrowed his eyes.
" Excuse me. " one of the waiters said, tapping Vegeta on the back, " How would you like
to pay for that. "
Vegeta smirked, " I don't need to PAY for it BAKA. _I_ am the saiyajin no ouji. I can
do anything I want. " he crossed his arms.
" Oh?...OH! " the waiter said, " Well, EXCUSE me your majesty. I didn't recognize you
8 inches shorter & without your mustache & beard. " he said sarcastically, " Why don't you come
this way. " the waiter said as he motioned Vegeta to the exit, then picked him & kicked him out
of the resturant, slaming the door behind him.
" Hey little buddy! " Goku shouted, running outside, Mirai following him, " Are you okay?
Anything hurt? "
" You mean, besides my pride & honor Kakorot? " Vegeta said in a monotone.
" Yeah, besides that. " Goku said. Vegeta lept to his feet & smacked Goku against the
wall.
" Well, for instance, YOU! " he screamed.
" TOUSSAN! " Mirai shouted as Vegeta dropped Goku & grabbed Mirai instead.
" YOU BAKAYARO! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME I DON'T EXIST YET!!! YOU MADE ME MAKE A FOOL OF
MYSELF!" Vegeta screamed at the top of his lungs.
" Come on Vegeta, he didn't know what year we landed in any better than you did. " Goku
said as Vegeta went SSJ2 & dropped Mirai.
" ARE YOU SAYING I AM SO INCOMPETANT THAT I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM! " he growled.
" No, I'm saying that--WAAUGH!!! " Goku cried as Vegeta's fist plunged into his gut.
The taller saiyajin went SSJ3, grabbed Vegeta's leg & flipped him over his head. Vegeta got up &
flew at Goku again, who quickly dissappeared & reappeared to the side. Vegeta made a U-turn &
flew back at him. This time Goku pulled him by the hair & smacked him down on the pavement.
" I think you should say yes. " Cally said to Ruby, who looked at her uneasily.
" I don't know...you're just saying that because you want a nephew or a niece or whatever
they call it, so bad. "
" If I were you I wouldn't. I don't trust Bejito. " Bardock said.
" Neither do I, I don't know why, but for some reason I'm thinking about telling him
yes. " Ruby shrugged, then walked into a large figure.
" Do you mind? " a voice said from behind Goku as the SSJ3 turned to see a familiar
figure staring at him.
" Hey little buddy, she looks kinda like your mom. " Goku observed.
" EXCUSE ME!? " Ruby said, taken aback.
" Yeah, she looks a lot like her. " Goku continued.
" Are you insulting me "buddy"? " she narrowed her eyes, " Because if I wanted I could
blast you across the planet. " she boasted, going SSJ.
" Aww, no ya couldn't! " Goku smiled, " I'm the second most powerful saiyajin alive. "
" And I'm the first. "
" Eh? " Goku raised an eyebrow as Ruby tossed a huge ki-blast at him. Goku quickly
dodged it.
" KA...ME... "
Ruby stared at him, confused.
" HA....ME....HAAAAAAAA!!!! " he shouted, sending a gigantic blast of energy at her.
Ruby smiled, then caught it one hand & tossed the kamehameha up & down like it was made
of air, " THIS is the best you could do? " she said as Goku & Mirai stared at her, their jaws
hanging open, " I figured. " Ruby said, throwing the kamehameha over her shoulder, sending it
flying into the sky & blowing up a nearby star, " All show. " she nodded, then felt a smack
across the neck & turned to see Goku, who tackled her. Ruby disappeared & reappeared a couple
feet away, only to come face-to-face with him again. She slid underneath him & grabbed his gi,
causing him to slip & fall down. Once on the ground he kicked his foot across hers, causing her
to slip slightly enough to temporarily let go of his gi. Goku got up & punched her in the stomach
. Ruby pulled his arm away & swung him around, then tossed him off. Goku recovered by rebounding
off of a nearby tree & heading back towards her. Ruby quickly ducked, then flew up & at Goku, who
was still cureening the other way. She gained speed & kicked him at the side, then tossed a large
blast at him.
::There's something familiar about her:: Goku thought to himself as he continued to fall
downward, then stopped in mid-flight, " But what! "
" BIG-- "
Bardock looked up, to see Ruby forming an unbelievably large ball of ki, " DON'T! YOU'LL
BLOW US ALL UP!!! "
" BANG-- "
" Run for cover! " Cally shouted, looking at the reading on her scouter as she lept
behind a nearby rock.
" --ATTACK!!! "
Goku snapped his fingers, " OH YEAH! Now I know! She reminds me of Vegeta! " he said,
then felt the wind pick up from behind as he whipped around to see the blast, then put his hands
out in a desperate move to try & catch the energy ball. He held on to it, but felt himself being
pressed deeper into the ground until it created a large 10 ft wide hole. The power exploded,
emitting a volcano-like effect.
Everyone froze for a moment, then the group slowly walked over to the hole.
" WHEW! " Goku sighed in relief as he hopped out of the hole, now powered down, " For
a minute there, I thought I was a goner. I could use a senzu seed right now. " he said, then
looked down at his body, which was now partially mutilated. Goku cringed, " Ya know, scratch
that, I could use a whole TRUCK-FULL of 'um. "
Ruby shook his hand, " Thanks. "
" Whad I do? "
" YOU just helped me stop from making a horrible decision. " she smiled.
" How'd I do that? "
" Well, Bejito, you know, the royal pain, asked me if I wanted to marry him, but if I
did then I'd eventually start a family & have no time for battling at all. So, I've decided to
tell him no. It'll be much less messy that way AND I won't have to listen to my sister over there
beg me to give her a nephew. " she explained, " I mean, I'd NEVER wanna miss any more fights like
the one I just had against you, uhh-- "
Goku thought for a moment, " --Kakorot, but everyone calls me Son Goku. "
" Glad ta meet ya Kakorot. " she said, " Come on 'Doc, let's go. "
Bardock looked over at Cally, who was about to start bawling, " Ok, but, maybe we outta
stop & get Cally some tissues first. "
Ruby shrugged, " Eh, whatever. "
Vegeta walked out of the resturant he had just been thrown out of, which was now
engulfed in flames, with a barrel-full of food in his arms. Mirai Trunks & Goku still watching
the trio leave.
" Hey, were'd you get all the food? " Goku asked.
" I 'reasoned' with the manager. " Vegeta snickered as he tossed an odd-looking fruit
into his mouth.
Goku looked at Mirai, " You don't think that one fight changed the future very much,
do you?"
" Well, since this planet blows up anyway, I doubt two more single people are going to
make that much of a difference. "
Vegeta looked up at the group from before, which had just left, " KAASAN! " he shouted
happily as Mirai sweatdropped.
" What? " Mirai said to Vegeta, his face pale.
" IT'S KAASAN! " Vegeta said excitedly, dropping the food & pointing to Ruby.
" SHE'S your MOM!!! " Mirai gagged.
" What did you expect my mother to look like! " Vegeta growled at Mirai.
" No! That's not it. I, just, oh Dende what've I done! " Mirai bit his lip.
" I KNEW she reminded me of Vegeta. Exact same ego. " Goku nodded.
Mirai grabbed Goku by the shoulders, a panicy look on his face, " GOKU! DON'T YOU KNOW
WHAT THIS MEANS!! "
" ...no, no I don't. "
" IT MEANS THAT WITHOUT MY GRANDMA & GRANDPA TOGETHER, TOUSSAN WON'T BE BORN! AND IF
HE'S NOT BORN THEN THAT MEANS I WON'T BE BORN TO TRAVEL BACK IN TIME TO WARN YOU GUYS AND IF I'M
NOT THERE TO WARN YOU THEN THE OTHER ME AND BURA WON'T BE BORN EITHER!!! WE'LL ALL CEASE TO
EXIST! WE'LL DISAPPEAR!! " Mirai screamed, frightened.
" Hey! Just like in "Back to the Future"! " Goku grinned.
" That was a MOVIE Goku. This is REALITY! We don't know if we'll have a happy ending! "
" But I thought this was an animé. " Goku scratched his head.
" First thing we have do is go back & tell Mom, Trunks, & Bura. " Mirai said.
Vegeta raised an eyebrow, " Trunks? "
" Yeah, Trunks! You know, the other me! " Mirai exclaimed.
" Wow, all that time travel's gotten to you Mirai. You KNOW you're the only Trunks. "
Goku said as Mirai looked at him, wide-eyed. He went over to Vegeta & grabbed his wallet.
" YOU BAKA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! " Vegeta screamed as Mirai flipped though the wallet,
then smiled as he pulled out a driver's ID.
" Here we go. " he said, then read down the ID, showing it to Vegeta, " See, it says
right here, Vegeta Briefs, children: 1...ONE?! "
" Hai, ONE! " Vegeta sneered as he grabbed the ID, " One as in ONE! "
" Yeah Mirai, Bura's ol Veggiebrain's only kid, you know that. " Goku said.
Mirai put his hands on the sides of his head in shock.
" Oh man, I am so dead... "
