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

" Uh, Guh, guh, Goku? " Mirai said, turning his head over his shoulder to Goku, " I think
we have a problem. " he said nervously as he watched Vegeta out of the corner of his eye.
" Problem? " Goku said as he put Ruby down, " What kind of-- "
Trunks cut him off, leaning his head in the direction of Vegeta, who was foaming at
the mouth.
" --HOLY!! " Goku gasped, " Hey little buddy, you, feeling okay? " he said as he walked
over to Vegeta, who had a psychotic look on his face.
" GOKU DON'T! " Mirai shouted.
" Ohh, come on. Whatsa matter lil buddy? " he smiled at Vegeta, who let out a roar &
lept ontop of Goku, trying to beat him up.
" WAHHHH!! VEGETA!!! " Goku screamed, " WHAT THE HECK'RE YOU DOING!! "
" I know exactly what I'm doing. " he smirked, " I'm going to DESTROY you, KAKOROT! "
" NANI!? I thought you were over that! " Goku said, trying to push Vegeta off of him.
" PREPARE TO SUFFER KAKOROT! " Vegeta cackled as he pinned Goku to the ground & kicked
him in the stomach.
" AHHHHH!!! " Goku wailed, then felt a blast of wind from one side of him & looked up to
see Vegeta was now gone. Goku sat up.
" WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU! " Ruby snarled at Vegeta, who unintentionally mirrored the
expression, causing her to be taken aback, " Oh my God... " she said, looking him over, " What
is WRONG with this! " Ruby said, dropping him.
" Uh, nothing, nothing at all is wrong with him. " Mirai said nervously as Ruby narrowed
her eyes at him.
" There's something not right with a purple-hairred saiyajin, and there is something
odd about shorty over there. I'm not sure you're telling me the truth. " she put her hands on her
hips, then felt something tighten around her neck.
" TOUSSAN NO! " Mirai cried, " DON'T DO THAT! "
Vegeta was in the process of trying to choke Ruby, his hands around her neck.
" ERR! " Ruby powered up, " BAKAYARO! " she tossed him over her head & onto the ground,
" I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU AND YOU DECIDE TO ATTACK ME! WHAT KIND OF PSYCHO ARE YOU!!! "
" ... " Vegeta blinked, " Mommy? " he murmured. Ruby's eyes widened.
" Mommy?! " she said in shock.
" HELP!!! " a voice cried from outside. Ruby ran to the window to see half of the town
in ruins.
" What the h-- "
" AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! " Freezer laughed as he blasted several passers by.
" Freezer! " she said angrily, then went SSJ & shot a ki blast at the window, breaking
the glass into dust. Ruby backed up & flew out.
" WAIT! " Mirai said, " The medicine, where is it! " he gulped, looking around on the
floor, now covered in half-broken bottles & some partially cracked ones, " WHICH ONE! "
Goku went SSJ3, " Trunks, I'll be right back, I have to save her. "
" NO! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! " he begged, then heard a soft moan behind him & looked behind
to see Vegeta now lieing on the ground. Mirai felt a lump in his throat when he noticed his
father was now slightly transparent, " GOKU PLEASE! " he cried, then swerved around, only to
see Goku had already left.
" Oh no... "


" FREEZER!!! " Ruby shouted as Freezer instantly paused, then turned to her.
A slight chill went up his spine, the smiled cooly, " Oh, well look who it is, I thought
you'd NEVER get here. "
" Oh shove it, if you came here to get beaten up again I'm not in the mood, but if I
have to I will. " Ruby crossed her arms.
" Well well well, somebody's awefully COCKY today. " Freezer waved his hands about,
" Shame you're not going to win this one. " he smirked.
Ruby raised an eyebrow, " Huh? " she said, then felt something heavy hit her from behind.
" HA HA! " Cooler laughed as he knocked her to the ground.
" Didn't expect TWO of us, did you? " Freezer said mockingly. Ruby rubbed her head, then
tried to push Cooler off, who smacked her upside the head. She went SSJ & kicked him off just
as another pair of arms grabbed her & lifted her off the ground.
" And you certainly weren't thinking there'd be THREE. " Icebox smirked, then slammed
Ruby against a large bolder.
" AAGH! " she groaned. Freezer slapped her.
" You have insulted me, beaten me, made me into a fool in front of your whole
MONKEY-TAILED planet!! " Freezer snarled, " BUT NOT ANYMORE!! " he said, forming a large ki
ball in his hand, Ruby's pupils shrunk, she gulped.
" FRE-- " Goku began, looked over his shoulder to see the Trunks, who was
staring at him nervously, a nearly invisable figure laying on the ground next to him. Goku
looked at the figure, slightly confused, " I wonder who THAT is.... " he said, then looked up to
see a silluotte of someone, who was standing several feet away from the battle.
Bejito sighed sadly as he watched Goku about to jump into the fray, about to destory
Freezer & the other Ice-Jin and save Ruby. Goku stopped.
" I hope I don't regret this. " Goku said to himself, then backed up and walked to the
side. He watched as Bejito's jaw hung open. He looked at Goku in disbelief.
" AHHHHH!!! " Ruby screamed.
" Say goodbye. " Freezer cackled, then heaved the ki blast at her.
Ruby opened her eyes seeing a very confused group of Icejin in front of her.
" Wha, WHAT HAPPENED! " Freezer screamed, looking around for the blast, " WHERE IS IT!? "
" RIGHT HERE! " a voice from above them shouted as Freezer whipped around to see the
blast heading straight towards him, sending him flying through several large mountains.
The figure narrowed its eyes at Cooler & Icebox, then went SSJ2. He grabbed them, one
in each hand, then spun them above his head & hurled them in the opposite direction of Freezer.
" ... " Ruby walked over to him, " Beej? " she said as Bejito turned around, looked at
Ruby, then at Goku & glanced down & sighed.
" That, " she said angrily, the smiled, " Was pretty damn cool. "
Bejito felt his face redden. He looked up at her & smiled back.
Mirai let out a sigh of relief, then fell down upon the rubble.
" Bakayaro, are you going to get up boy or are you just going to sit there! " a voice
said from behind him as a huge grin spread across Mirai's face.
" TOUSSAN!!!! " Mirai cried, grabbing Vegeta & hugging him, " I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK!! "
Vegeta raised an eyebrow, " I was gone? "
" Howya feelin little buddy! " Goku smiled, walking up to them, " Hey, he's not
transparent anymore. "
" What? " Vegeta said, pushing Mirai away.
" Come on! Give your big buddy a "thank you" hug! "
" "thank you"?! FOR WHAT?! "
" Well, I just saved your life. " Goku grinned.
" WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN! "
" Just now, your parents are back together so now, well, so are you. "
" I don't know WHAT you're babbling about Kakorot. " Vegeta crossed his arms.
" No, look!, " Goku said, pointing across the way @ Ruby & Bejito, " They...uh.. "
" ..have a really weird way of making out. " Mirai finished.
Vegeta grabbed Goku & Mirai & dragged them out of the room, his face bright red,
" That's more than you need to know about saiyajin customs. " he grumbled, " People like you
make me wish I didn't exist in the first place. "
" Actually, " Goku smirked, " You almost didn't. "


Mirai sighed as the large group stood out in front of the time machine. He looked around
& smiled.
" Here you go. " Nappa said, handing them the small glass bottle.
" I hope you're brother's gonna be okay. " Cally added.
" Brother? " Goku said, confused, " Goten's not my brother. "
" He's not? " Ruby said.
" No, he's my son. " Goku laughed as the other saiyajins sweatdropped.
" You're MARRIED?! " Ruby said in shock, then shrugged, " Even if you weren't, it
would've probably never worked out anyway. I mean, you're strong & all, but you're kind of a
coward if you were afraid to fight Freezer back there. "
Vegeta looked at Goku, utterly confused, " Eh? "
Goku looked back at him & snickered, " I had a good reason to. "
" I guess this means I'm not going to be an aunt after all. " Cally sighed, taking out
a stuffed teddy bear, " I even sowed this little guy & everything. "
Vegeta's eyes widened, " Pookee! "
" Actually, he doesn't have a name. " Cally smiled.
Bardock glanced over @ Ruby & Bejito, " I think, you might become one anyway. "
Cally looked up at Bardock & smiled, " OF COURSE! I forgot you're psychic! " she grinned,
" Quick! Tell me! What gender, how much will he/she weigh & how long do I have to wait till its
born! " she said, grabbing Bardock by his armor.
" I dunno, I was just guessing. " he said, Cally groaned.
" MIRAI! TRUNKS IS THROWING WATER BALLOONS AT ME! " Bura cried, running out of the
time machine, Chibi Trunks on her tail with a huge water balloon in his hands. Mirai smiled.
" Man am I glad you're back. " he said.
" But you were the one who left and OWW! " Bura said as the waterballoon hit her on the
side of the head, " Ahh! Trunks that hurt! " she whined, then felt something lift her up.
" HI B-CHAN! " Vegeta said, unusually cheerful, " You're heads all wet. "
" Well, if Chibi hadn't thrown that water balloon at me it wouldn't be. " Bura nodded.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, " BOY! " he growled as Chibi rushed back inside the time
machine & locked the door.
" TRUNKS! " he yelled, running over to the door & pounding on it, " TRUNKS COME OUT HERE
& FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN! "
" BUT I'M ONLY 11! " he cried back.
" Well, goodbye Mirai. " Bejito shook his hand.
" Bye grampa! "
Bejito raised an eyebrow, " Somethin odd about him. " he whispered to Ruby.
" Tell me about it. " Ruby mumbled.
" Bye-- " Ruby started out, shaking Goku's hand.
" --Goku. "
" Yeah, goobye Kakorot! "
Goku groaned, " You can't just call me Son Goku, can you. "
" Well, if I did that it wouldn't be very respectful would it. " Ruby explained, " It's
like calling Beej here "dummy". I'd be dissing you. The other way it's more like saying,
"Kakorot, Sir", something like that. "
Goku's eyes widened, " Really? " he said, then glanced over at Vegeta, who was still
pounding on the door to the time machine yelling at Chibi, " Wow, that means 'ol Veggiebrains
really thinks highly of me. Cool! " he grinned, " Hee, Sir Goku. I LIKE that. " he laughed.
" Hoo-boy. " Mirai said, then grabbed the bottle out of Goku's hands and made his way
towards the time machine.
" Umm, Toussan? " Mirai tapped on the infuriated Vegeta's shoulder.
" I'LL DESTROY HIM!!! "
Mirai gulped, then grabbed Bura & held her up in front of Vegeta.
" Say hi to Toussan, Bura! " Mirai smiled nervously.
" Hi Toussan! " Bura giggled as Vegeta's pounding on the door slowly stopped until it was
a tap while he focused his attention on Bura.
" B-CHAN! " he shouted, squeezing her, " Little B-chan... "
Mirai opened the door & walked inside, then noticed his little sister's face was
turning blue from lack of oxygen, " Umm, Vegeta, you're choking her. "
" I WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING TO B-CHAN! " Vegeta yelled, then looked down to see
Bura, who was now gasping for air. He held her in front of him, " Bura! Are you okay kawaii? "
Bura took a deep breath, feeling the blood begin to circulate in her body again, " Yeah,
much better. "
Vegeta squeezed her again, causing her face to return to the blueish color, " GREAT! "
Mirai sighed in defeat & walked inside. Vegeta dropped Bura, who wobbled back & forth,
then slowly walked inside.
Goku skipped in after her, then stopped & grinned friendily at Vegeta, " Hee, "sir", haha
ha! " he laughed, running inside. Vegeta shrugged, took one step inside, then stopped, looking
back at his parents & friends. He walked up to Ruby & Bejito & silently hugged them, to their
surprise. He looked over at Cally, then hugged her too and walked back to the ship, hanging his
head.
" I'll..miss you. " he mumbled.
" Yeah, err, us too. " Bejito said confused.
Ruby smiled, " It's been weird. "
" Hai. " Vegeta nodded, closing the door the time machine, then at the last second
stuck his head out, " Oh! And if you have a son, make sure Freezer does NOT find out about him.
You'll regret it! And if he does, destroy Freezer AND whoever the other two were! "
" Uh, okay. " Ruby said, " Any other words of wisdom? " she raised an eyebrow.
" Yeah, " he said, then looked left, then right, " I love you. "
" AWWWWWWW! " Goku's voice echoed from inside.
" OH SHUT UP KAKOROT! " he yelled, walking inside & slamming the door, " I CAN HAVE MY
SENTIMENTAL MOMENTS TOO!! "
" Since WHEN are YOU sentimental? "
" ... "
" Well? "
" Oh forget it. " he said, sitting in the corner next to the window.
" Okay guys, let's get out of here. " Bulma said as she pushed several buttons on the
control panel.
Vegeta stared out the window, unbeknownst to him Goku was sitting behind him.
Ruby waved to him, Bejito gave him a thumbs-up.
" Bye Mommy, bye Daddy. " he whispered, waving back.
" "Bye Mommy, bye Daddy." " Goku mocked as Vegeta got red in the face then, still facing
the window, suckerpunched Goku in the face with his right fist.
" Oww! "


" GOKU! YOU'RE BACK! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, Goku held out the medicine, " WITH THE MEDICINE
TOO! " she said, " You won't believe what happened while you were gone! Gohan's sick now too! "
Chi-Chi said as Gohan waved from the couch, his face was now green.
" What about Goten? "
" Who..OH MY GOD! " Chi-Chi gasped, " I FORGOT ABOUT HIM! I've been so busy administering
to my poor little genius that I forgot all about him! " she said.
A small figure hobbled the the staircase, then fell down on his head.
" Goten! " Goku smiled, " You have...antlers. "
" Yeah, pretty cool huh! " Goten grinned. Chi-Chi & Goku looked at him uneasily, both
sweatdropped.
" Here, Goten. " Chi-Chi said, pouring some of the medicine onto a spoon, " Take some of
this. "
" K! " Goten shouted, then put the entire spoon into his mouth & swallowed it. Chi-Chi
slapped herself on the forehead in frustation, then looked down to see Goten's antlers fall off,
" Aww, I'm gonna miss those things. "
" No you won't, now come help me give some to your brother. " Chi-Chi grumbled as she
dragged Goten into the living room.
" Aww, everything's back to normal. " Goku grinned, then scratched his head, " But
something doesn't make sense. " he said, then looked around, " Hey Bulma, where's Vegeta? "
" He's still in the time machine, sulking. " Bulma answered, " I don't know why, I guess
he's just depressed. "
" GREAT! "
" ... "
" I mean, great as in now I know where he is, not great that he's depressed. "
" Uh..huh. "
" Be right back! " Goku said cheerfully, then put his pointer & index fingers on his
forehead and disappeared.


" Hey little buddy! " Goku smiled, re-appearing in the machine, " I wanted to ask you
a question. "
" Go away Kakorot, I'm busy wallowing in self-pity. " he humphed, squnched up in the
corner of the room.
" Can I wallow with you? "
" It's not THAT kind of..just ask me what you wanted to ask me so you can go away. "
Vegeta grumbled.
" Okay! " Goku nodded, " I was wondering, since Gohan caught the Kajaphoopha from
Goten, who did Goten catch it from? "
Vegeta's eyes popped out of their sockets as he sprang to his feet.
" I..I don't know! " he gasped.
" HI TOUSSAN! " Bura's voice chirped from behind them. A huge smile crossed Vegeta's
face. He bent down to Bura's height & laughed.
" HI B-CHAN! " he chirped back.
" Uh, Vegeta? " Goku said nervously.
" NOT NOW KAKOROT! " he hissed, then turned his attention back to Bura, " Whatcha doin
B-chan?"
" I wanted to show you my wings. " she smiled.
" What wings? " Vegeta said curiously as Bura turned around to reveal two large blue
wings growing out of her back.
" Well, " Goku said, " At least we know who got them sick now, right lil buddy! " he
said to Vegeta, who didn't respond, " Right? "
" Daddy? " Bura said, noticing the frozen, frightened look on his face, " Daddy are you
alright? "
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

Whee! I'm finally done!
And I have a great idea for
my next fic. A director has
come to Capsule Corp & wants
to make a movie w/ Veggie as
the hero & Goku as the villain,
but what happens when 'ol
Veggiehead's ego swells to the
point where he loses touch w/
reality AND his 'friends'? Will
he forget about his "little B-chan"?
And how will Goku play such an out
of character role? Find out next time!
