Chuey's Corner: N/A
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
Gohan: 17
*************************************************************************************************
" -246!!! " Gohan shouted as he looked at the thermometer he had just pulled out of
Goten's mouth. He looked at his little brother, who now had greenskin and a large beard on his
face. Goten grinned.
" MOM!!! " Gohan cried, running down the stairs, " Look at this! " he said.
" 246??? "
" NEGETIVE 246. " Gohan said.
" Well..don't worry, your father & the others will be back soon. " Chi-Chi answered.
" You know, you're acting strangely calm about this. " Gohan said, confused.
" I think Goten'll be able to pull through just fine. " Chi-Chi said, then looked at
Gohan & let out a blood-curtling scream.
" What?! " Gohan asked, alarmed.
" GOHAN YOUR FACE!!! " Chi-Chi screamed, as Gohan looked in a nearby mirror to see
blue spots all over his face.
" Oh no. I must've caught it from Goten. " Gohan whined, " But you're right Mom, we
don't have to worry about ih-- "
" AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! OH-MY-POOR-LITTLE-GOHAN'S-SICK-AND-HE'S-GOING-TO-DIE-AND-I'M-GOING
-TO-LOSE-HIM-FOREVER!!!!! " Chi-Chi wailed, then tossed Gohan on the couch, " You sit here! I'm
going to make some soup! "
" What happened to relaxing till Dad & the rest came home. " Gohan asked, raising an
eyebrow.
" YOU KNOW GOKU! HE'LL PROBABLY EAT IT HIMSELF BEFORE THEY GET HALFWAY HOME! " Chi-Chi
screamed in a panic, " NOW YOU'LL NEVER GET TO GO TO HARVARD! "
Gohan groaned, then put his head in his hands.
" Dad, come home soon! "
" BUT I TELL YOU THERE _IS_ ANOTHER TRUNKS! " Mirai shouted as Vegeta & Goku stared at
him, confused.
Goku smiled, skeptically, " Somebody's been standing too close to the microwave oven
again. "
" Heh-Heh-hee. " Vegeta snickered as Mirai looked from one to the other.
::Toussan's laughing at one of GOKU'S jokes?:: he thought, shocked, " Maybe without
Chibi ever existing their personalities changed too. " Mirai said to himself, then watched as
the two started saying something to each other, then both burst out laughing.
" Okay, this is getting weird. " Mirai mumbled, then grabbed his cell-phone (heh, "cell"
phone..ok, nevermind) and began dialing.
" Trunks? " Bulma's voice came from over the reciever.
" Mom? Can I speak to Chibi for a second, this is REALLY important. "
" Chibi? Well, okay. " Bulma said uneasily as a now relieved Mirai wiped the sweat off
his brow.
" Hi Chibi! " Mirai said.
" Hi Torunkusu! " Bura's voice chirped back.
" Bura?! What are you doing? I wanted to talk to your brother. "
Bura rolled her eyes, " If you wanted to talk to yourself then why did you call me? "
" No! I meant Chibi Trunks! Your older brother. The one from THIS dimension! "
" I don't know WHAT you're talking about Mirai. " Bura answered.
" Bura, please listen to me for a seco-- "
" B-CHAN! " Vegeta quickly grabbed the phone out of Mirai's grasp, " Hi B-Chan! " he
squealed.
" Hi Toussan! " Bura said, " How're you? "
" I'm just peachy B-chan! "
" Peachy?? " Mirai mouthed, then yanked the phone back & shut it off, " WHEN THE HECK
DO _YOU_ START SAYING "PEACHY"! "
" B-Chan loves it when I say that. She's so perfect... " he went off dreamily, " and she
wuvs me... "
" Uh, right. " Mirai raised an eyebrow, " And if you happened to have a bratty, fun-lovin
down-to-earth son still around maybe you'd come back to reality a little faster. "
" Maybe I will buy her that pony for Christmas after all.. "
" AAUGH! " Mirai cried, then walked up to Vegeta & slapped him across the face.
Vegeta stared at him for a second, shocked.
Mirai, realizing what he just did, looked down at his hand, which was now red, along with
the equal hand-shaped mark on Vegeta's cheek, " I must have a deathwish or something. " he
breathed as a furious sneer appeared on Vegeta's face. The saiyajin no ouji went SSJ2 & started
throwing small ki blasts at Mirai's feet, causing Mirai to hop about in pain.
" YOU BAKAYARO! HOW DARE YOU SLAP ME!! " he screamed.
" I'm--YEOW--sorry Toussan I--EEP--didn't mean to--WAHH! " Mirai said between blasts.
" Come on Vegeta, if Mirai slapped you he had to have a good reason to do so. " Goku
said as Vegeta turned around.
" Kakorot, there IS no GOOD reason for ANYONE to slap ME across the face. " Vegeta
narrowe his eyes as Goku looked at him for a moment, then slapped him across the other cheek.
" KAKOROT!!! "
" You said a good reason! That was a BAD reason because you're being mean to your only
son, from, the future of the alternate dimesion. "
Vegeta grumbled, ::Note to self, be more specific with choice of words::
" Umm, how come he hasn't blasted you yet? " Mirai whispered to Goku.
" But, Mirai, Vegeta's my buddy, he hasn't blasted me since, Bura was born. " Goku
explained, patting Vegeta on the back, " Why, he's almost nice to me. "
Mirai bit his lip, ::Then what's he gonna be like after SHE disappears!...waitaminute!::
" I'M HIS SON TOO! THAT MEANS _I'M_ GOING TO DISAPPEAR WITH THEM!!! " Mirai yelped in panic,
" I DON'T WANT TO NOT EXIST!! " he shook nervously, then took a deep-breath, " I _HAVE_ to find
grams and tell her. I'm sure she'll understand...but then again, she IS related to Vegeta... "
" Goku! Dad! Follow me! " Mirai shouted as he flew off.
Goku & Vegeta shrugged, then followed suit.
" Oh look, the freakshow's back for an encore. " Ruby said as she looked upward to see
Mirai flying towards them, Goku, who was now powered down, & Vegeta behind him.
Mirai landed in front of them, hyperventilating, " Thank God I found you, I have
something VERY important to tell you, " Mirai said.
" And I don't really care. " Ruby said, then turned around & began to walk up the stairs
of a humongous, nearby building.
" BUT IT'S ABOUT THE FUTURE! " Mirai cried.
" SO WHAT! " Ruby yelled back, then felt herself slam into something & looked up to see
Goku, who smiled at her, " How did you.. "
" Listen, what Mirai wants to explain to you means a lot to him, I think you outta at
least hear him out. " Goku said as Ruby stared at him, her face a bright red.
" ...Ok. " she nodded as Bardock's jaw dropped to the ground.
" OKAY?! OKAY?! " he shouted, then turned to Cally, " She NEVER agrees with ANYONE!
What the HECK IS WRONG HER! "
A wide, excitable smile engulfed Cally's face, " I'm gonna be an aunt after all! "
" What? " Bardock raised an eyebrow, then glanced at Ruby, then at Goku, & then back at
Ruby again, " ..Holy crap she isn't... "
" IN LOVE! " Cally bounced up & down, " I'm going to go sew some clothes for my future
nephew!" she giggled, then bounded off.
" --And so you see that by turning Bejito down, you'll be changing history! " Mirai
explained to Ruby, who was sitting across from him, staring at Goku who was chewing a large wad
of bubble gum, " Umm, are you listening to me? "
" Huh? Oh, right, history, sure. " Ruby said quickly, then turned her attention back to
Goku, who began to blow a large bubblegum bubble. Her face turned red again.
Vegeta watched the scene, slightly confused, " Boy, why is MY Kaasan paying all her
attention to KAKOROT instead of ME! " he narrowed his eyes.
Mirai gulped, " Well, I'm not entirely sure, but it can't be anything too serious. " he
said as Vegeta looked at him with a half-worried expression on his face. Ruby tapped Goku on the
back with her tail, causing him to bolt to attention. Goku heard a rip & looked to see his own
tail returned.
" Wow, I thought that thing'd never grow back. " Goku said, surprised.
Mirai chuckled nervously as Vegeta's face went pale. The saiyajin no ouji slumped
downward, breathing quickly in state of shock.
Vegeta growled at Mirai, who sweatdropped, " Kakorot, I have to speak to TRUNKS in
private. " he said, then grabbed Mirai by the collar & dragged him off behind a large rock.
" Umm, I can explain! " Mirai started out.
" KAASSAN HAS THE HOTS FOR KAKOROT!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO ME!!!! "
he roared as Mirai coward back.
" I, I didn't know this would, would happen! "
" I DO _NOT_ WANT _KAKOROT_ TO BE MY FATHER YOU BAKAYARO!!! "
" He, won't! " Mirai yelled as Vegeta _slightly_ calmed down, " Because, " he said meekly
, " If your father doesn't become your father, you won't, be born. That's why you don't remember
having another son, he's already been erased. I remember him because I'm from a different
dimension than you...HEY! " a smile crossed Mirai's face, " THAT MEANS I WON'T DISAPPEAR! THIS
IS GREAT! " he exclaimed, then glanced at Vegeta, who was looking upward. Mirai faced that
direction to see the building several feet away.
" What? "
Vegeta silently pointed up at one of the windows where a figure was standing, looking
down miserably.
" Who's that? "
" ...Toussan. "
" Oh. " Mirai nodded, then gagged, " TOUSSAN! YOUR DAD! " he squinted at the figure,
about 4 inches taller than Vegeta, w/ a beard, " This means we still have time to fix this!
Grams hasn't told him "no" yet! "
Vegeta looked at Ruby, who was laughing along with Goku. He put his hand on his chest &
made a fist, a depressed look on his face.
" Maybe it would be better if I wasn't born. "
Mirai looked at him, shocked, " WHAT?! " he gasped, " GOKU COME OVER HERE! NOW! "
Goku shrugged stupidly, then teleported himself over to them, " Whatsa matter? "
" I think Toussan's really starting to lose his mind. He thinks the world would be
better if he weren't born! I mean, THAT'S TOO FREAKISHLY OUT OF CHARACTER TO COME OUT OF HIS
MOUTH!! "
" Poor lil buddy. " Goku said, patting Vegeta on the head, " I mean, when you think
about it, if you weren't born, Freezer would've never captured you & blown up your planet,
Chi-Chi & I would be able to lead a happy peaceful life, Gohan would have actually been able to
grow up going to school, Piccolo, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, Choutzu & Kami wouldn't have been killed,
Namek wouldn't have been blown up, Cell wouldn't exist, Buu wouldn't have had anyone to possess
to destory all those people,-- "
" GOKU!! " Mirai screamed as they both looked at Vegeta, who was sitting on the ground
looking down with a black spotlight on him, " TELL HIM SOMETHING _BAD_ THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED
IF HE WASN'T BORN!!! "
" Bad? OH! Why didn't you say so! " Goku said, then thought for a good 10 minutes, " Ya
know what Trunks? I, can't, for the life of me, think of anything bad that wouldn't have happened
if Vegeta didn't exist. "
" COME ON GOKU! THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING! "
" Well...OH! I KNOW! " he grinned, then walked over to Vegeta, bent down & whispered,
" If you weren't born, your "little B-chan" wouldn't be around. "
" Who? " Vegeta looked up at him, confused as a chill ran up Mirai's spine.
" B-chan, BURA! "
" BURA WHERE!? " he lept to his feet, Mirai fainted.
" You forgot about _Bura_?? " Goku said.
" BAKA! I would NEVER forget my little B-chan. " he sighed happily, " she's a little
angel without wings. " he said dreamily.
" Uh, right. " Goku said uneasily.
" You just keep thinking about that okay Toussan? " Mirai said nervously, patting Vegeta
on the back.
" ... " Vegeta stared out into nowhere.
" ..oh-kay then. " Mirai wiped the sweat off his brow, then looked at his watch, " GOKU!
WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR 3 HOURS! GOTEN COULD BE DEAD BY NOW! " he yelped, " Let's go inside so we
can get that stuff & get out of here! " Mirai said, walking up to the door & opening it.
" Where do you think you're going? " a voice said as Mirai looked up to see an 8ft
man with a mustache & a balding head.
" It's Nappa! " Goku said as Mirai stared up at the figure, unbelievable intimidated.
" Huh, huh, who? "
" Nappa, Veggie's bodyguard. He tried to destroy me but ol Veggiebrains killed him
first. " Goku explained, " Hi Nappa! "
" HI! " Nappa said cheerfully.
" We need to get inside, there's something in there we want. " Mirai said.
" Commoners allowed in the palace. " Nappa answered, " I'd help you, but that also would
be breaking the law. "
" Oh shove it Nappa just let the boy inside! " Vegeta yelled at Nappa, who looked down
at him, confused.
" Who's that? "
" Prince Bejito's son from the future. " Goku smiled as Vegeta's eyes popped out of his
head.
" KAKOROT! "
" Wow, really? " Nappa said, impressed, " I still can't let you in without orders from
Prince Bejito. "
" Hai, well _I'M_ prince VEGETA, and _I_ order you to let us in! "
Nappa smiled at them, then backed up, and slammed the door in their faces.
" HOW DARE YOU! I SHALL DESTROY YOU!!! "
" Nappa, it's okay! They're with me! " Goku, Mirai, & Vegeta looked to the left to see
Ruby knocking on the door.
" Oh! " Nappa said, quickly re-opening the door, " Okay, sorry 'bout that. "
" You're right. " she smirked as she walked in, " You should be. "
" Thanks Kaassan! " Vegeta said proudly as Ruby looked over her shoulder.
" Don't mention it..."Kaassan"?! "
" Umm, I don't suppose you could show us where they keep the medicine around here, huh?"
Goku asked.
" Anything you want Kaka-chan. " she smiled, getting red in the face again as they made
their way down the hall.
Vegeta's face paled, " KAKA-CHAN!? " he yelped, then turned to Mirai, " TRUNKS!! MOMMY'S
CALLING KAKOROT BABY NAMES!!! " he cried in a panic.
" Calm down! " Mirai said, " As long as we get what we came for everything will be fine."
" THAT'S WHY YOU ONLY SPOKE TO KAKOROT INSTEAD OF ME OR BULMA! " he yelled.
" 'come again? "
" YOU KNEW THAT IF YOU TALKED TO US ONE OF US WOULD HAVE FIGURED OUT YOU'RE OUR SON AND
YOU WOULD CEASE TO EXIST! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT BLASTED RULE BEFORE WE LEFT!!! "
" I, uh, " Mirai's eyes darted around the room, " Goku wait up! " he said, running off.
" COWARD!! " Vegeta shook his fist in the air, then grumbled & stomped angrily after
them as a door behind him opened and a figure stepped out.
" Whoa.. " Bejito mumbled, shocked, " Like looking into a mirror, a funhouse mirror. "
he said as Vegeta turned the corner, then quickly poked his head back around to see his now,
bewildered father staring at him.
The saiyajin no ouji stared at the person he hadn't seen in more than 3 decades, then
groaned in defeat & walked around the corner.
" 35 years and I can't even say hello or I'll mess up the blasted future. That baka
boy! There must be a way to fix that. " he said to himself, " I hope... "
" Here it is. " Ruby said as they entered a room filled with first aid and
illness-related objects, " Whadda ya need anyway? "
" Well...gosh I dunno. Goten has the, uhh, hey Vegeta, what's he sick with again? " Goku
asked as Vegeta rolled his eyes.
" Kajaphoopha. "
" Yeah, what he said. "
" Oh..yeah. " Ruby raised an eyebrow, " Lemmie see, AHA! " she said, pulling something
out of a tube.
Goku's pupils shrunk as he watched the needle gleam in the light.
" Here you are, " she said, walking over to them, " Pretty sharp, isn't it? "
" EEEK! " Goku shrieked, zipping behind Vegeta.
" KAKOROT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! IT'S A BLASTED NEEDLE! "
" I don't like sharp metal pointy objects! " he wailed.
" IT DOESN'T MATTER! YOU DON'T EVEN NEED ANY! IT'S FOR THAT BRAT! "
" But, but, it's, it's a, a-- "
" UG! " Vegeta groaned, then pushed Goku away, who stumbled backward & knocked into Ruby,
who dropped the needle onto the floor as a result of the push, causing him to catch her.
" And he looked just like me Nappa, you wouldn't belie-- "
Everyone turned their attention to the other side of the room, Bejito & Nappa in the
doorway.
" Hey Bejj. " Ruby waved, Goku still holding her. Bejito stared at the two, then silently
backed up & continued down the hallway, leaving Nappa alone in the doorway.
" Now what's gotten into him? " Nappa said, confused as Goku helped Ruby up, Vegeta
staring at them, then felt something snap.
He narrowed his eyes as he felt his fists clench tightly. As if a wave washed something
out of his mind. An evil spark returned to his eyes.
Mirai looked at Vegeta curiously, " Uh, Toussan? " he said as Vegeta turned to him, a
cold expression on his face, " Are, you okay? "
" Who are you. " he sneered furiously.
Mirai swallowed hard, " I'm, your son from the alternate dimension, remember? You know,
Trunks, BURA'S brother. "
" Bura? " he said as Mirai gulped at the confused tone of voice he had used.
" Who, is Bura? "

I hope you enjoyed part two. I just thought up a great idea
for another fic for when I'm done w/ this one. It involves
Bura, Mirai, Vegeta, girlscout cookies, a very hungry Goku, Veggy, and town that seems
right out of the twilight zone. I'll get the kinks worked out of it
later.
Hasta Luega!

Part 3'll be out sometime next week.

down miserably.
" Who's that? "
" ...Toussan. "
" Oh. " Mirai nodded, then gagged, " TOUSSAN! YOUR DAD! " he squinted at the figure,
about 4 inches taller than Vegeta, w/ a beard, " This means we still have time to fix this!
Grams hasn't told him "no" yet! "
Vegeta looked at Ruby, who was laughing along with Goku. He put his hand on his chest &
made a fist, a depressed look on his face.
" Maybe it would be better if I wasn't born. "
Mirai looked at him, shocked, " WHAT?! " he gasped, " GOKU COME OVER HERE! NOW! "
Goku shrugged stupidly, then teleported himself over to them, " Whatsa matter? "
" I think Toussan's really starting to lose his mind. He thinks the world would be
better if he weren't born! I mean, THAT'S TOO FREAKISHLY OUT OF CHARACTER TO COME OUT OF HIS
MOUTH!! "
" Poor lil buddy. " Goku said, patting Vegeta on the head, " I mean, when you think
about it, if you weren't born, Freezer would've never captured you & blown up your planet,
Chi-Chi & I would be able to lead a happy peaceful life, Gohan would have actually been able to
grow up going to school, Piccolo, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, Choutzu & Kami wouldn't have been killed,
Namek wouldn't have been blown up, Cell wouldn't exist, Buu wouldn't have had anyone to possess
to destory all those people,-- "
" GOKU!! " Mirai screamed as they both looked at Vegeta, who was sitting on the ground
looking down with a black spotlight on him, " TELL HIM SOMETHING _BAD_ THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED
IF HE WASN'T BORN!!! "
" Bad? OH! Why didn't you say so! " Goku said, then thought for a good 10 minutes, " Ya
know what Trunks? I, can't, for the life of me, think of anything bad that wouldn't have happened
if Vegeta didn't exist. "
" COME ON GOKU! THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING! "
" Well...OH! I KNOW! " he grinned, then walked over to Vegeta, bent down & whispered,
" If you weren't born, your "little B-chan" wouldn't be around. "
" Who? " Vegeta looked up at him, confused as a chill ran up Mirai's spine.
" B-chan, BURA! "
" BURA WHERE!? " he lept to his feet, Mirai fainted.
" You forgot about _Bura_?? " Goku said.
" BAKA! I would NEVER forget my little B-chan. " he sighed happily, " she's a little
angel without wings. " he said dreamily.
" Uh, right. " Goku said uneasily.
" You just keep thinking about that okay Toussan? " Mirai said nervously, patting Vegeta
on the back.
" ... " Vegeta stared out into nowhere.
" ..oh-kay then. " Mirai wiped the sweat off his brow, then looked at his watch, " GOKU!
WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR 3 HOURS! GOTEN COULD BE DEAD BY NOW! " he yelped, " Let's go inside so we
can get that stuff & get out of here! " Mirai said, walking up to the door & opening it.
" Where do you think you're going? " a voice said as Mirai looked up to see an 8ft
man with a mustache & a balding head.
" It's Nappa! " Goku said as Mirai stared up at the figure, unbelievable intimidated.
" Huh, huh, who? "
" Nappa, Veggie's bodyguard. He tried to destroy me but ol Veggiebrains killed him
first. " Goku explained, " Hi Nappa! "
" HI! " Nappa said cheerfully.
" We need to get inside, there's something in there we want. " Mirai said.
" Commoners allowed in the palace. " Nappa answered, " I'd help you, but that also would
be breaking the law. "
" Oh shove it Nappa just let the boy inside! " Vegeta yelled at Nappa, who looked down
at him, confused.
" Who's that? "
" Prince Bejito's son from the future. " Goku smiled as Vegeta's eyes popped out of his
head.
" KAKOROT! "
" Wow, really? " Nappa said, impressed, " I still can't let you in without orders from
Prince Bejito. "
" Hai, well _I'M_ prince VEGETA, and _I_ order you to let us in! "
Nappa smiled at them, then backed up, and slammed the door in their faces.
" HOW DARE YOU! I SHALL DESTROY YOU!!! "
" Nappa, it's okay! They're with me! " Goku, Mirai, & Vegeta looked to the left to see
Ruby knocking on the door.
" Oh! " Nappa said, quickly re-opening the door, " Okay, sorry 'bout that. "
" You're right. " she smirked as she walked in, " You should be. "
" Thanks Kaassan! " Vegeta said proudly as Ruby looked over her shoulder.
" Don't mention it..."Kaassan"?! "
" Umm, I don't suppose you could show us where they keep the medicine around here, huh?"
Goku asked.
" Anything you want Kaka-chan. " she smiled, getting red in the face again as they made
their way down the hall.
Vegeta's face paled, " KAKA-CHAN!? " he yelped, then turned to Mirai, " TRUNKS!! MOMMY'S
CALLING KAKOROT BABY NAMES!!! " he cried in a panic.
" Calm down! " Mirai said, " As long as we get what we came for everything will be fine."
" THAT'S WHY YOU ONLY SPOKE TO KAKOROT INSTEAD OF ME OR BULMA! " he yelled.
" 'come again? "
" YOU KNEW THAT IF YOU TALKED TO US ONE OF US WOULD HAVE FIGURED OUT YOU'RE OUR SON AND
YOU WOULD CEASE TO EXIST! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT BLASTED RULE BEFORE WE LEFT!!! "
" I, uh, " Mirai's eyes darted around the room, " Goku wait up! " he said, running off.
" COWARD!! " Vegeta shook his fist in the air, then grumbled & stomped angrily after
them as a door behind him opened and a figure stepped out.
" Whoa.. " Bejito mumbled, shocked, " Like looking into a mirror, a funhouse mirror. "
he said as Vegeta turned the corner, then quickly poked his head back around to see his now,
bewildered father staring at him.
The saiyajin no ouji stared at the person he hadn't seen in more than 3 decades, then
groaned in defeat & walked around the corner.
" 35 years and I can't even say hello or I'll mess up the blasted future. That baka
boy! There must be a way to fix that. " he said to himself, " I hope... "
" Here it is. " Ruby said as they entered a room filled with first aid and
illness-related objects, " Whadda ya need anyway? "
" Well...gosh I dunno. Goten has the, uhh, hey Vegeta, what's he sick with again? " Goku
asked as Vegeta rolled his eyes.
" Kajaphoopha. "
" Yeah, what he said. "
" Oh..yeah. " Ruby raised an eyebrow, " Lemmie see, AHA! " she said, pulling something
out of a tube.
Goku's pupils shrunk as he watched the needle gleam in the light.
" Here you are, " she said, walking over to them, " Pretty sharp, isn't it? "
" EEEK! " Goku shrieked, zipping behind Vegeta.
" KAKOROT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! IT'S A BLASTED NEEDLE! "
" I don't like sharp metal pointy objects! " he wailed.
" IT DOESN'T MATTER! YOU DON'T EVEN NEED ANY! IT'S FOR THAT BRAT! "
" But, but, it's, it's a, a-- "
" UG! " Vegeta groaned, then pushed Goku away, who stumbled backward & knocked into Ruby,
who dropped the needle onto the floor as a result of the push, causing him to catch her.
" And he looked just like me Nappa, you wouldn't belie-- "
Everyone turned their attention to the other side of the room, Bejito & Nappa in the
doorway.
" Hey Bejj. " Ruby waved, Goku still holding her. Bejito stared at the two, then silently
backed up & continued down the hallway, leaving Nappa alone in the doorway.
" Now what's gotten into him? " Nappa said, confused as Goku helped Ruby up, Vegeta
staring at them, then felt something snap.
He narrowed his eyes as he felt his fists clench tightly. As if a wave washed something
out of his mind. An evil spark returned to his eyes.
Mirai looked at Vegeta curiously, " Uh, Toussan? " he said as Vegeta turned to him, a
cold expression on his face, " Are, you okay? "
" Who are you. " he sneered furiously.
Mirai swallowed hard, " I'm, your son from the alternate dimension, remember? You know,
Trunks, BURA'S brother. "
" Bura? " he said as Mirai gulped at the confused tone of voice he had used.
" Who, is Bura? "

I hope you enjoyed part two. I just thought up a great idea
for another fic for when I'm done w/ this one. It involves
Bura, Mirai, Vegeta, girlscout cookies, a very hungry Goku, Veggy, and town that seems
right out of the twilight zone. I'll get the kinks worked out of it
later.
Hasta Luega!

Part 3'll be out sometime next week.
