Scooby Dooby DBSZ : Episode 3

Episode 3: Search For The Dragon Balls (Let's Split Up, Gang!)

"Everyone, take one of these Dragon Radars, and we'll all look for the dragon balls." Bulma instructed as she proceeded to hand out the palm-sized radar devices to everyone.

"How should we do this?" Velma asked. "Your technology and abilities seem to be much greater than ours."

"It's easy. We'll split up so that each of you is with one of us." Trunks offered with a smile.

"How about I go with Miss 18?" Daphne suggested.

Fred furrowed his brow. "Daph-NE..." He whined.

"Oh, Freddy. Grow up." Daphne rolled her eyes.

"Freddy can go with Trunks-kun." Goten suggested. Trunks nodded. "And Otou-san can take Shaggy, Onii-chan can go with Velma, Bulma-san and Vegeta-san can go together, Bra-chan can go with Scooby Doo, and I'll go with Marron!"

Marron took Goten by the arm, pulling him to the side. "Goten, dear," she said in a low voice. "This is not a Hanna/Barbera cartoon. You are not Freddy. I am not Daphne--and we are not even going to DISCUSS what we are NOT doing when we split off together."

Goten smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "Ah, hai."

"Well, gang. Let's split up and find those dragonballs!" Daphne declared. Fred pouted as, once again, someone stole his line.

Velma picked up the orange crystalline ball, holding it up in the air. "So this is the two-star dragon ball," she whispered in awe. "It's beautiful."

Gohan smiled happily. "Yes, it is! And wait until you see them when they're all collected together. It's amazing."

Velma tucked the dragonball into her bag (courtesy of Capsule Corp.) and checked the Dragon Radar. "Speaking of which, we'd better head back to Capsule Corporation. It looks like the others have found the other dragon balls." Gohan nodded, lifting Velma, and took off into the air.

"You know, Vegeta, you lucked out. I've been saving this for a special occasion." Bulma looked over her shoulder at her husband, who merely smirked at her.

"What are you babbling about now, woman?" He taunted.

"This, you pointy-haired vegetable." She retorted, walking to the closet. She opened the sliding door and knelt down, picking up a shoebox on the floor. She removed the lid and lifted the seven-star dragon ball from the box. "We don't have to go anywhere to find our Dragon ball!" She exclaimed, triumphantly.

Vegeta snorted. "Such a lazy woman. Let me guess: after all that work, you're exhausted. Here, let me help you up to the bedroom so you can lay down."

"Vegeta--!" Bulma shrieked as the Saiya-jin lifted her over his shoulder.

-----

"Mmmm-mm! This food is great!" Shaggy looked up for a second to compliment Chichi on her cooking before grabbing another plate of food.

"Haaaai!" Gokou exclaimed. "Didn't I tell you? My wife is the best cook ever!"

"She sure is!"

"Oh, you boys..." Chichi blushed at the compliments. "I'm glad you could stop for lunch, Gokou-san, but don't you think that you should take the four-star back to the others?"

Gokou looked up at his beloved, a trail of rice dribbling down his chin. "But Chichi~! Your food is sooooo good! And Shaggy was really hungry!" He exclaimed, giving her puppy-dog eyes.

"Oh, well..." Chichi melted as Gokou cranked the cute-factor up to 11 out of 10. "I suppose I could cook seconds--but after that you need to go!"

"Hai!"

"Groovy!"

----

"Goten-chaaaaa~n..." Marron purred in the Son boy's ear as she wrapped her arms around him from behind.

"A-anou, Marron, we.." It was suddenly hard to concentrate. "We need to find the dragonball.."

"Aww, but Goten, we have time to play, don't we?" The pig-tailed blonde asked, kissing the Saiya-jin's ear. Goten looked back over his shoulder at her, his eyes wide.

"W-well, I.. uh.. Eh-hehe.."

"Gotcha!" Marron jumped into the air, landing on Goten's head.

"Itai!!" Goten yelped. Marron laughed, jumping down; she landed on one knee and stood, holding the five-star dragon ball. "You're such a tease..." He muttered, a small pout formed on his lips.

"I'll make a deal with you." Marron smiled. "If you can catch me, we'll spend the weekend together. Alone." She waggled her eyebrows, then kicked herself into the air, flying off.

"Hey..! Wait for me!"

-----

"Ohh, Miss 18! These clothes are so lovely!" Daphne held the purple sun-dress up to herself, admiring it in the department store's mirror.

"I think it would look great on you." Juuhachi-gou said with a smile. "Your boyfriend would love it."

"Oh, Miss 18! I told you, he's not--"

"I know, I know. But I'm sure he would like it."

Daphne looked at the dress, biting her lip. Maybe Fred would like the dress.... "I wish I had some money.."

"Don't worry about it. Since you were the one to find the six-star, I'll buy the dress for you." Juuhachi-gou said. "It's an amazingly lucky coincidence that the six-star just happened to be in the parking lot of this mall."

-----

"Scooby-chan, you are such a fraidy-dog!" Bra exclaimed. Scooby Doo had caught his reflection in a broken amusement-park mirror and scared himself.

He whimpered from the safety of Bra's arms. "Rhis race ris scrary!"

Bra set Scooby down, petting him behind the ears. "It's just an abandoned circus. The dragon ball is somewhere in this fun house. We'll be out of here in no time."

Scooby stuck close to the girl as they ventured further into the abandoned fun house.

*****

The group gathered on the back patio of Capsule Corp., setting their dragon balls down on the ground in the center of the circle they had formed.

"Shaggy, Scooby, you might want to close your eyes." Gohan warned. "The dragon is very scary looking."

"D-d-dragon?! There's really a dragon?!" Shaggy nearly fainted.

"Rhat rasn't part rof the deal!" Scooby wailed.

"Come forth, Shenlon!!" Gokou called out; Shaggy and Scooby hugged each other and covered their eyes as the dragon balls began to glow.

Though it was only a little after noon, the sky darkened as the mighty dragon was summoned forth by Gokou. A thick mist seeped out of the glowing dragon balls; as it rose into the air, it took the shape of a massive dragon

"Who summons Shenlon?" The dragon's voice was deep and as massive as the dragon itself; the mighty Shenlon's voice was both spoken and thought, filling the ears and the minds of the group which stood below him.

"Oiii! Shenlon! It's me!" Gokou waved frantically at the massive dragon. Shenlon's gaze turned towards Gokou.

"Son Gokou. What is your wish?"

"Well, see, Shenlon, I'd like to know if you could send our new friends--Freddy, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby Doo--back to their world. That's my wish." There was a long pause as Gokou finished. Finally, Shenlon spoke.

"That wish cannot be granted. Do you have another wish?"

Shaggy cleared his throat. "Like, I wish that I had a giant buffet of food that only I could eat from!"

".... It is done." The dragon began to glow, and a massive buffet table appeared from thin air. Shaggy ran towards the food, tears of joy streaming down his face.

"Ri rish for rone rof rose buffet rables, too!" Scooby Doo shouted.

"................................ It is done." Shenlon granted Scooby's wish, and another buffet table appeared. Scooby ran towards it in slow motion as happy music played from nowhere.

"What silly things to wish for," Velma said quietly, shaking her head.

"What *I* wish is that I knew why Shaggy and Scooby have such huge appetites." Freddy muttered.

Shenlon, impatient to leave, took Fred to heart. "Your final wish is granted. Shaggy and Scooby come from a planet destroyed long ago called Vegeta-sei. The boy is a Saiya-jin."

Everybody's jaws dropped. "Shaggy?! A Saiya-jin?!" Marron exclaimed, baffled. "Okay, who let Shenlon dip into Shaggy's Mary Jane?!"

"SILENCE!" Shenlon roared.

"EEK!@" Marron hid behind Goten until Shenlong disappeared and the dragon balls scattered.

Vegeta growled. "There's no way this... BAKA... could be a Saiya-jin." He looked towards Gokou, who was busy begging Shaggy and Scooby to share their meals. "Could they...?"
