Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: (rubbing her eyes; glances up at audiance and recomposes herself) Hi, welcome
to part 3 of "The Sequel". I'm your host, Chuquita, and [points to a small bag filled with
broken pebbles] this is, or should I say, WAS, my co-host...Veggie.
Small bag filled with broken pebbles: ...
Chuquita: Normally in the Corner about this time Vegeta here would give me some kind of witty,
smart-alick remark, but--uh, as you can see, he's in no condition to do so.
Goku: [sobbing wildly off-screen] BECAUSE YOU KILLED HIM!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Whoo-boy...heh-heh, I can feel the guilt and remorse settin in right
about now...I don't like it.
Voice: Well you shouldn't!
Chuquita: Eh? (glances over at her shoulder to see a small white ball) Who the heck're you?!
Voice: I am your conscience.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops again) Hoo-boy...
Voice: You did some very bad things to that poor innocent boy! (shakes her finger at Chu)
Chuquita: (confused) Who? Son-San?
Voice: NO! VEGETA!
Chuquita: ...Veggie--innocent. You're kidding right?
Voice: I am NOT kidding! You both treated him poorly and now you have to pay the guilt that
he's no longer here for you to make it up to him.
Goku: (still sobbing) MURDERER!!!
Chuquita: (shifts uncomfortably) Ehhh.. (shakes it off) He's not really gone, see! [picks up the
bag] (happily) Here he is!...yup...that's him [shakes bag once] alright. (feels heavy breathing
above her & looks up to see Goku staring at the bag in her hands with bloodshot eyes)
Goku: (in a faraway voice) Little Veggie?...
Chuquita: (slightly worried) Son-San?...you feelin alright?
Goku: (still w/faraway voice) I wanna hold my little Veggie, I wanna tell him that I'm sorry.
(bottom lip wobbles)
Chuquita: Uhh...here you go. [hands Goku the bag]
Goku: [smiles at the bag, then hugs it tightly and walks off-screen, stroking the bag softly]
Chuquita: [looks down at her now-empty hands and sighs sadly] (sniffles) Stupid Veggie, stupid
conscience... [glances over at Goku] (crying) SON-SAN COME BACK! I WANNA HUG HIM TOO!!
Summary: It's Halloween and Chibi Trunks is going as the scariest thing in the world, his Toussan
, Vegeta. ^u^;; Thanks to the costume, he's finally gotten the attention from the ouji that is
normally directed at Bura. What happens when "little B-chan"'s spot-light is stolen from her,
the only "Veggie" thing TO do, get jealousy-blinded, torturous revenge! Will Chibi be able to
make it through Halloween before Bura chops his head off? And how did Goten get into this mess?
Find out!
Ages:
Chibi Trunks: 9
Bura: 8
Goten: 8
*************************************************************************************************
" Ohhhhh.... " Bura whimpered, then fell to her knees in pain.
" LITTLE B-CHAN! " Vegeta cried, then ran up to her, " B-chan! B-chan I'm sorry! Are you
alright. " he said, worried as he tried to pick her up. Bura glared at Vegeta & slapped his hand
away.
" YOU! " she shouted, " YOU TRIED TO KILL GOTEN! YOU TRIED TO BLAST HIM! " Bura growled,
" HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TOUSSAN! " she said, then softened her expression, " You're not a meanie.
..are you? "
" ... " Vegeta stared at her, a feeling of guilt washing over him. He bent down to Bura's
height, " No, no I'm not... " he trailed off.
Bura smiled, " And you'd NEVER wanna hurt lil Goten or Mr. Goten's Daddy would you? "
" Nuh-uh... " he said quietly, still in a daze.
Trunks zipped over to the two. He glanced from Vegeta to Bura then back at Vegeta again,
" What the heck is going on here? " he said to himself suspicously.
Goku grinned, " OOH! I know what's going on! Veggie's gonna come trick-or-treating with
me & Bura after all! OH BOY! "
" Guh..WHAT?! " Trunks gagged, then dashed in front of Vegeta & waved his hand in front
of the ouji's face, " Toussan? Toussan! "
" -Huh?! " Vegeta snapped to attention.
" Toussan, HELLO! "
" Toru-kun! " Vegeta smiled, " Is it time to TP Bakarrot's house yet? " he said anxiously
Trunks sighed, " *whew*!--Better. "
" But Toussan! You don't REALLY wanna put toilet paper all over Mr. Goten's Daddy's
house. He's our friend. " Bura said, clinging to Vegeta's arm.
" Awww, little B-chan... " Vegeta cooed, then paused, hearing an excited giggle coming
from above him. He looked up to see Goku staring down at him with big sparkily eyes.
" Veggie-Veggie gonna come trick-or-treating with me & Bura? " he squealed in his out-of
-place high-pitched voice.
" Duh... " Vegeta was at a loss for words, then snarled, " DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT! "
" Look at you like what? " Goku asked curiously.
" Da--YOU KNOW! WITH THOSE CREEPY SPARKLING BUGGED OUT EYES! " Vegeta said angrily, his
face turning a pale green. Goku only replied by smiling at him.
" He's creepin me out too Otoussan. " Trunks whispered, also a shade of green.
Vegeta grabbed Trunks's wrist, " On three, we rush him. " he said in a determined voice.
" But--but that's Gohan & Goten's Dad, Toussan! " Trunks complained, then caught a
glimpse of Bura, who was once again giving him an evil stare; powered up.
" That's right Trunks, you don't wanna hurt Mr. Goten's Daddy either, do you? " she
smirked.
Trunks eyes widened, " Holy--WHAT ARE YOU DOING! " he screamed at her, " YOU'RE DOING
SOMETHING! SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT HERE! " he backed up, pulling Vegeta along with him.
" You better let go of Toussan-chan right now. " Bura growled. Trunks ran towards the
open door, still holding onto Vegeta's wrist.
" COME ON TOUSSAN! " Trunks cried, " WE GOTTA RUN! "
" What are we running FROM? " Vegeta said curiously, " It would be more honorable to
go back and FIGHT whatever we're running from. "
" NO TOUSSAN! This is something WEIRD! You can't fight THIS! "
" Son. "
Trunks froze at the word, " Yes, Toussan? " he asked quietly.
" We're going to go back and fight whatever you went running away from. " Vegeta said,
then smirked, " Now let's go blast whatever it is to hell! " he smiled proudly at Trunks, who
sighed. Trunks glanced at the open door, then reached out to it. To his surprise and shock the
door slammed shut. Vegeta was taken aback at the door.
" What the heck?! " Vegeta blinked, confused.
Trunks slowly turned his head over his shoulder to see Bura chuckling maniacally Goku &
Goten behind her in a type of hypnotic daze.
" Torunkusu. " she said, " This planet has an order. Vegeta is my Toussan-chan and I am
his little B-chan. And YOU are throwing this order into CHAOS!! " she slammed her fist down,
causing a huge earthquake to occur, " You cannot pretend to be something you aren't dear brother,
and you're no saiyajin no ouji! " she pointed at Trunks's black hair/eyes and his Vegeta-like
hairdo.
" TOUSSAN! " Trunks cried, pulling on Vegeta's leg. He looked up at his otoussan to find
Vegeta too, was now in a daze, " ...toussan? "
" Toussan and Mr. Goten's Daddy are going trick-or-treating with ME, like they do every
year. And you can go with Gohan and Goten or whoever else you desire to collect candy with. "
Bura said, " But I will NOT let you go into my territory. "
" Toussan & Uncle Goku aren't TERRITORY, Bura! " Trunks said, mustering up his courage.
" Oh they are...they most certainly are... " she said. Bura's eyes glowed red as
everything around Trunks went black.
" Do you want some more tea TOO Mr. Goten's Daddy? " a voice from the darkness said.
Trunks slowly opened his eyes, then sat up. He looked around the room, still in shock. Goten was
staring at him curiously, while across the room Bura was sitting at her little teaset table with
Goku & Vegeta, who were both giggling along with her.
" I LIKE TEA! " Goku grinned as Bura poured some more imaginary tea into his cup.
" Wha--WHAT HAPPENED! " Trunks screamed. Everyone in the room instantly turned towards
him.
" OH LOOK! Trunks finally woke up! HI TRUNKS! " Goku said happily, waving to him.
" "woke up"? " Trunks looked over at Bura, who smiled sweetly at him, then glared, her
eyes turning red again for an instant, then back to the cute, angelic expression previously on
her face, " Holy cow...it's real. "
" What's real Trunks? " Goten asked. Trunks pulled Goten over to the side.
" Don't tell me you didn't just see that! " Trunks said frantically.
" See what? "
" BURA'S EYES! They just glowed RED! AND SHE PUT YOU AND UNCLE GOKU AND TOUSSAN ALL INTO
A TRANCE AND--of COURSE you don't remember! You were in a trance! " Trunks said, slapping himself
on the forehead.
" Trance?? " Goten raised an eyebrow.
" YES! TRANCE! Bura hypnotized you! "
Goten laughed, " That's funny Trunks. Bura wouldn't wanna hypnotize ME. "
Trunks sweatdropped, " Yeah...you're stupid enough on your own. "
" ? "
" So, Toussan, have you decided what you wanted to be for Halloween tommorow yet? " Bura
asked as she handed him a cookie.
" I told you already, I'm going to be a mad scientist and Trunks is going as "THE GREAT
AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI"--me. " he smiled. Bura narrowed her eyes, then went back to her
perky attitude.
" But Toussan, wouldn't you rather come with Mr. Goten's Daddy & I? We can all be fairies
together! It'll be so much fun! " Bura squealed.
" Yeah little buddy! Come play tricks-or-treats with us! " Goku said excitedly, " It
won't be Halloween without my little buddy along! "
" Kakarrot, as much as I would enjoy watching the townspeople laugh at you while you
parade around in the middle of the night in some girly little fairy-outfit, I have something more
important to do--namely TP-ing your home and spray-painting "the great and powerful saiyajin no
ouji was here" all over its walls. "
Goku's bottom lip wobbled, " Veggie that's so mean. "
" Toussan! You hurt Mr. Goten's Daddy's feelings! " Bura said, " Now give him a hug and
tell him you're sorry! " Bura demanded.
" But B-chan! " Vegeta whined, " He's full of Kako-germs! "
" VEGGIE HUG! VEGGIE HUG! " Goku spread his arms out, waiting to be hugged.
Vegeta cringed, " I AM NOT GETTING KAKO-COOTIES ALL OVER MY ROYAL BODY! "
" Yea! You tell her Toussan! Don't give in, don't give up! " Trunks cheered from across
the room, an oblivious Goten standing next to him.
Vegeta responded by giving Trunks a thumbs-up sign, then turned back to Bura, " B-chan,
I am NOT going to hug Kakarrot. He's disqusting and slimy and full of germs! "
" __PLEASE__ Toussan! " Bura begged, now wearing big sparkily eyes herself.
" OHhh...but B-chan...*sigh*. Alright. I'll give Kakarrot a hug. " Vegeta hung his head
in defeat. Trunks's jaw dropped to the floor as Bura held her head up triumphently.
Vegeta walked up to Goku, " Oh-kay Kakarrot let's get this over with. " he said, then
put his arms around the bigger saiyajin's waist & hugged him.
" AWWWWW! " Goku awwed, then squeezed the short prince, causing his face to turn blue
from lack of oxygen, " I accept your apology little buddy! "
" Hhh..uhh...acK! " Vegeta pounded on Goku, trying to make him aware of his own inability
to now breathe.
" Hmm? " Goku looked down at the blue-faced ouji, " COOL! Hey Veggie can you teach me
how to turn my face colors too? I wanna make mine green like Piccolo's! "
Vegeta rolled his eyes, then kicked Goku in the croch, causing him to instantly let go
of Vegeta. Goku fell to the floor, wheezing in pain from the blow dealt to his private area.
" I WAS TRYING TO TELL YOU YOU WERE SQUEEZING TOO HARD! " Vegeta yelled.
Goku looked up at him from the floor, whimpering sadly.
" TOUSSAN! YOU JUST MADE HIM EVEN MORE SAD! " Bura scholded.
" That doesn't mean I have to hug him AGAIN does it! " Vegeta exclaimed.
" No...all you have to do now is apologize for not apologizing the first time and give
"Kaka-chan" a big "I'm sorry" smooch. " Bura said happily.
Vegeta's face turned stark white, " WHAT?! "
" VEGGIE SMOOCH! VEGGIE SMOOCH! " Goku said happily, " Hey Bura, what's a "smooch"? "
" NO! _THAT_ IS WHERE I DRAW THE LINE! I WILL _NOT_ AND I REPEAT _NOT_ KISS KAKARROT! "
Vegeta screamed, " I DON'T CARE _HOW_ SAD HE IS! Come on Trunks, we're outta here. " Vegeta
grumbled as he left the room, followed by Trunks. The boy paused, then turned around & blew a
raspberry at Bura and ran off after his Otoussan.
" Almost there...almost... " Trunks said to himself as he rapidly pressed the buttons on
his videogame controller, the car on the track edging closer to 1st place. Unbeknownst to the boy
, a figure slowly tip-toed into his room, then leaned over towards Trunks's ear, a grin on his
face.
" HI TORU-KUN! "
" EEK! " Trunks screamed, then fell down on his side from shock. He looked around,
disoriented. He stuck his fingers in his now-aching ears & whinced from the pain.
" What're ya doing? " Vegeta said in an unusually cheerful voice normally resereved for
Bura.
" I WAS playing a videogame. And I was WINNING too until you came in here and nearly
made me legally deaf! " Trunks snapped at him, then to his surprise wasn't responded to by a ki
blast to his head.
" Can I play too? I've never playing a videogame before? " Vegeta asked anxiously.
" ... " Trunks looked at him oddly, " YOU want to play videogames?...with ME. "
" YEAH! " Vegeta grinned, then plopped himself down on the floor next to Trunks, indian-
-style.
" Uh--oh-kay. " Trunks scratched his head.
" SO! How do we start? "
" Well, you take one of the controllers there. " Trunks pointed to the objects on the
ground. Vegeta grabbed one & inspected it.
" What does it do? "
" You'll see. " Trunks said, then restarted the game, a large row of cars appeared on the
screen along with a countdown starting at 10.
Trunks pointed to two of the cars, " I'm car 4 and you're car V. As soon as the countdown
is over you hit button "A" and the 1st car of the 15 to reach the finish line wins. "
" Hai. " Vegeta nodded.
" *Beep* Go. " the machine said. Vegeta narrowed his eyes, then slammed on all the
buttons at once, causing his car to ram into a streetlight and burst into flames.
" *Beep* Loser. Loser. Car K wins. " the machine said as the winning car was shown, a
short bleep of victory music played. Vegeta sat there, stunned.
" Car K...K stands for KAKARROT! " he snarled, enraged. Trunks turned a pale green as
Vegeta formed a ball of ki & chucked it at the machine, " HA! BAKA MACHINE! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET
FOR LETTING KAKARROT WIN! " he laughed. Trunks stood up, an aggrivated look on his face as he
stomped out of the room and downstairs.
" Hey, where're ya going? " Vegeta asked curiously, " What about a round 2? "
" AHH! IT'S THE SPLATTERING BLADDER! " the voice on TV said. Trunks sat there on the
couch, upside-down & munching on popcorn as he watched another 60's horror B-movie.
" Don't, worry, Carol? The splattering bladder is noth-ing more than a horrible mutated
lab project gone wrong. "
" Run! It's spu-ing it's radioactive waste everywhere! "
" Oh NO! It's coming closer! NO! STOP! DON'T COME ANY CLOSER! " Trunks's eyes widened as
he leaned towards the screen, " NO! NO NOOOOOOOOOOO--- "
" --Hi Trunks! Whatcha watchin? " Vegeta grinned as he walked in front of the screen.
" Toussan MOVE! " Trunks complained, trying to pay attention to the screams coming from
the TV.
" K! " Vegeta nodded, then hopped onto the couch beside him, " So--what's it called? "
" Night of the Splattering Bladder. " Trunks replied, then went into movie over-speak
mode, " They said it couldn't be done! They said he was mad. But he did it anyway!
Dr. Whatchamacallit has implanted a brain in the most deadly and dangerous human organ--THE
BLADDER!! However the experiment has gone wrong--VERY wrong. Now Jeff Stubble and the rest of
his overpaid, yet untalented crew members must stop the Splattering Bladder before it expands to
a size large enough to cover the entire world with its gooey, digestive juices! "
" ... " Vegeta cocked his head to one side, " --so? We saiyajins don't even HAVE
bladders! "
Trunks looked at him, surprised, " You don't have a BLADDER Toussan?.. "
" Of course not! Bladders are weak HUMAN appendages. We saiyajins have flibbadyjibletts."
" ...really? "
Vegeta nodded excitedly, " Yup! Wanna see? "
" NO!--no thanks Toussan, I believe you. " Trunks laughed nervously.
" Aww come on! I have one on each knee, come on! "
" You have TWO bladders..on your KNEES? " Trunks gawked.
" Yup! It's a unique saiyajin royal family trait, passed down my father from his father
and so on and--you get the picture. " Vegeta said.
" Uhh--you know what Toussan, I just remembered I have important stuff to do so I'll
see ya bye! " Trunks said quickly, zipping out of the room.
Vegeta turned back to the screen & smiled as the splattering bladder devoured a girl,
" Oh-kay Toru-kun, but you don't know what you're missing! "
Trunks layed down on his bed, " Ugh, geez Toussan, just won't leave me alone! How does
Bura DEAL with that stuff! " he said, then yawned, " Eh, who cares. All that matters right now
is me getting some sleep. And the more sleep I get, the more energy I'll have tommorow for trick-
-or-treating. " he said, then slowly closed his eyes & dozed off.
" __TORU-KUN__!!! "
" Ohhhhhh... " Trunks put the pillow over his head.
" Toru-kun what the heck are you doing! " Vegeta said angrily.
" I'm SLEEPING Toussan. " Trunks gritted through his teeth from under the pillow, then
mumbled, " Or at least I WAS... "
" Sleep is for the weak! " Vegeta shouted at him, then ripped the covers off of Trunks's
bed, sending a rush of cold air in the boy's direction. Trunks sat up.
" Toussan, what do you want NOW? " Trunks said, exhausted.
Vegeta smirked, " I WANT to show you my latest and greatest plan for the DISASTEROUS
feats I shall doom upon Kakarrot's doorstep! Now follow me. " he said, grabbing Trunks by the
wrist and leading him to a small door. Vegeta looked left, then right, cautiously. He turned the
knob and then sneaked inside.
" Toussan, it's nothing more than a dark closet in here! " Trunks said.
" Ahh, that's because I haven't turned on the lights yet. " Vegeta said, then flicked the
lightswitch, " BEHOLD! MY BIG AMAZING KAKA-MONITORING SYSTEM! Or, as I affectionately refer to it
as, B.A.K.A.S. "
Trunks's jaw fell to the floor as he gazed upon the humongous room filled with
technological gadgetry and thousands of people working at the huge machines that filled it.
Unbelievably large flat monitors covering the rounded ceiling; each monitor displaying one of
Goku's frequently visited places, such as the river, his house, one in his room and one in the
candy eisle of the grocery store.
" Your Kaasan called me obsessed with destroying Kakarrot. Ahh, how WRONG she is. "
Vegeta cackled maniacly.
" Toussan...WHAT IS ALL THIS! " Trunks screamed.
" I already told you boy, "this" is my Kakarrot monitoring system. Every worker in this
lab is hard at work trying to find the one flaw, the one window of oppertunity that will allow me
to STRIKE DOWN against Kakarrot and FINALLY be able to defeat and enslave him! " Vegeta snickered
evilly.
" Does Mom know about this lab of yours Toussan? " Trunks asked, conserned.
" Of course not! " Vegeta snapped, " All my workers are freelance. I can hire and fire
them at will. That, and if your mother knew I had a huge personal corperation devoted to finding
a way to destory Kakarrot she'd kill me. "
" No crap. " Trunks said flatly, then did a double take, " Waitaminute, did you say
"enslave him"? "
" Eh? "
" Earlier, you said defeat "Kakarrot" and "enslave him"? "
" Yeah, what did you think I was going to do after I defeated Kakarrot? Kill him? Heck
no! He's going to be waiting on me hand and foot! I'll work him so hard he'd have wished I had
killed him! And maybe I'll make him wear a maid costume just to cause more pain upon his feet.
HAHA! I can just see that poor pathetic baka walking around in heels. " Vegeta laughed, then
turned to Trunks, " So? Whadda ya think! " he clasped his hands together excitedly.
" Frankly Dad, I think you're crazy. " Trunks said flatly.
" I blame only Kakarrot for that result... " Vegeta said, mourning, " AND HE SHALL PAY!
HE SHALL PAY FOR RUINING MY HONOR WITH ME RUINING HIS!!! "
" Uh, I don't think Uncle Goku HAS any honor. " Trunks pointed out.
" Well, then he shall pay for ruining my honor with me embrassing him to the point of
NO RETURN! THE RECIPT TO YOUR PRIDE WILL BE NULL AND VOID AT MY CASH REGISTER OF PAIN KAKARROT! "
Vegeta laughed at the sky, " DO YOU HEAR ME! YOUR PAIN IS NON-REFUNDABLE! AND NO, YOU WILL NOT
BE ABLE TO EXCHANGE IT FOR A LOVELY GIFT SUCH AS A SWEATER OR A PAIR OF SLACKS! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Ingenius! Isn't it Toru-kun? Trunks? Trunks? " Vegeta looked around, " Now
where did he go? "
" I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! HE'S CRAZY! " Trunks ranted as he walked down the hall, then
ran into something. He fell backwards & rubbed his nose in pain, " HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE--Bura?
" he froze.
Bura looked at him sadly, then hung her head, " Trunks, I wanted to say that I'm sorry
for what I did earlier. " she said quietly, " You can have Toussan. "
" What? " Trunks said, confused.
" I give up Trunks. " Bura said softly, " You tried and you beat me. Toussan's yours. "
Trunks stood up & dusted himself off, " I don't want him! Not anymore! That man's a nut!
You can have him for all I care! "
" Huh? "
" HE WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE! ALL HE'S BEEN TRYING TO DO ALL DAY IS BOND WITH ME! HE BLEW
UP MY GAMECUBE, RUINNED MY MOVIE AND DISQUSTED ME WITH HIS KNEE-BLADDERS, and did you know he has
a SECRET LAB dedicated to destroying Son-San! HE'S A WACKO! "
Bura sighed, " What can I do? Toussan-chan doesn't love me anymore. "
" And he won't leave ME alone! " Trunks said, " If there was only some way to get him off
of MY BACK and back onto YOURS! "
Bura looked at him hopefully, " You mean you have a plan? "
Trunks thought for a minute, then brightened up, " I got it! The only way to get Toussan
back to normal is to get MYSELF back to normal! "
" Wha? " Bura looked at him, baffled as Trunks ran off, " HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?! "
" No time to talk right now Bura! I have work to do! " Trunks smiled at her, then ducked
into a room, but stuck his head back out in her direction, " Don't you worry Bura, if this works,
and I know it will, you'll have Toussan back in time for trick-or-treating time! "
" Really Trunks? " Bura's eyes sparkled. Her brother nodded to her.
" Yep! Trust me! " he said, then closed the door.
Bura smiled at the door, " Oh thank you Trunks! You're the best! "
The Next Morning:
" Oh Toru-kun! " Vegeta said in a sing-song voice as he tapped on the door to Trunks's
bedroom, an armfull of Halloween prank items in his arms, " It's time to cause mischief to
Kakarrot's house! "
" Here I am Toussan! " Trunks's voice said happily from behind him. Vegeta turned around
& shrieked in shock.
" What'sa matter Toussan? " Trunks smiled, his contacts now gone and his spiky black hair
returned to its natural non-gravity-defying lavender color.
" ... "
" What? Are we gonna go or not? I'm lookin forward to leaving a bag fulla flaming poo on
"Kakarrot"'s doorstep. So when are we going? " he asked.
" NEVER you traitor! " Vegeta snapped at him, then dropped the prank toys to the floor
and walked off, shaking his head in disappointment, " *sigh*, I was so close...so CLOSE! "
Trunks smirked, then pulled out a small whistle & tooted it, causing another figure to
run up the stairs towards where Vegeta was walking.
The figure tugged on Vegeta's pantleg, causing the ouji to look down.
" HI TOUSSAN! " Bura said in her sweetest voice. Vegeta's face instantly brightened.
" LITTLE B-CHAN! " he picked her up & squeezed her tightly, " OH LITTLE B-CHAN! You're
mean stupid purple-hairred brother tricked me! How can I ever forgive myself for leaving you? "
" I forgive you Toussan! " Bura smiled, hugging back, " So? Are you still coming
trick-or-treating with me & Mr. Goten's Daddy? "
" I'd never dream of doing Halloween any other way! " Vegeta answered back, giggling at
her.
" GREAT! Because I just finished our fairy costumes! You're gonna look SOOOOO pretty
Toussan-chan! Wait'll you see how cute it is! " Bura said as Vegeta sweatdropped slightly.
" Fairy costumes....right. " Vegeta chuckled nervously, then followed Bura towards her
room. Bura stopped, then looked over her shoulder at Trunks & gave him a thumbs up. Trunks
returned the favor and gave her one back.
" Thank you Torunkusu! " she mouthed to him.
Trunks smiled, " No problem sis, no problem at all. "

THE END
Chuquita: [looking through a phone book; Goku is sitting in a corner of the room quietly rocking
the bag of pebbles to sleep]
Goku: What're you doing Chu-sama?
Chuquita: I'm looking for Dende's number. I figure the only way to get rid of this guilt is to
change Vedge-head back to normal. Since I can't do that, I'm going to contact someone who can.
Goku: (in a small voice) Do you REALLY think Dende will want to help us save my little buddy?
Chuquita: I don't care if he WANTS to, I only care if he CAN.
Goku: ?
Chuquita: If he doesn't want to help I can use you to threaten him.
Goku: (smiles) Wow, you really wanna get Veggie back, don't you Chu-chan?
Chuquita: Not really, I just can't bear to have my concience nag me about this for the rest of
my life.
Goku: (coddles the bag of pebbles) Well I wanna get Veggie back because I miss him. The poor lil
guy's probably scared to death in here. [pats the bag]
Chuquita: Oh come on! Vedge doesn't have any consciousness in there!...does he?
Goku: (stares at her with big sparkily eyes) Uh-huh, he's crying in there.
Chuquita: (flatly) He is NOT!
Goku: (opens up the bag to unveil salt-water filling up half the bag full of pebbles) (sniffling)
Do you know what those ARE Chu-sama!
Chuquita: (confused) No....
Goku: They're TEARS! Little Veggie-chan tears....
Chuquita: (sarcasm) Or they could be just your tears from blowing your nose in the bag.
Goku: (glares at Chu & hugs the bag closer) Don't worry little buddy, _I_ feel your pain!
Chuquita: Oh brother...come on Son-San, let's go find Dende. [leaves]
Goku: [huggles the bag closer] Oh-kay Chu-sama. Come on Veggie. [runs after her] CHU-CHAN WAIT
FOR ME!!

Voice: You did some very bad things to that poor innocent boy! (shakes her finger at Chu)
Chuquita: (confused) Who? Son-San?
Voice: NO! VEGETA!
Chuquita: ...Veggie--innocent. You're kidding right?
Voice: I am NOT kidding! You both treated him poorly and now you have to pay the guilt that
he's no longer here for you to make it up to him.
Goku: (still sobbing) MURDERER!!!
Chuquita: (shifts uncomfortably) Ehhh.. (shakes it off) He's not really gone, see! [picks up the
bag] (happily) Here he is!...yup...that's him [shakes bag once] alright. (feels heavy breathing
above her & looks up to see Goku staring at the bag in her hands with bloodshot eyes)
Goku: (in a faraway voice) Little Veggie?...
Chuquita: (slightly worried) Son-San?...you feelin alright?
Goku: (still w/faraway voice) I wanna hold my little Veggie, I wanna tell him that I'm sorry.
(bottom lip wobbles)
Chuquita: Uhh...here you go. [hands Goku the bag]
Goku: [smiles at the bag, then hugs it tightly and walks off-screen, stroking the bag softly]
Chuquita: [looks down at her now-empty hands and sighs sadly] (sniffles) Stupid Veggie, stupid
conscience... [glances over at Goku] (crying) SON-SAN COME BACK! I WANNA HUG HIM TOO!!

normally directed at Bura. What happens when "little B-chan"'s spot-light is stolen from her,
the only "Veggie" thing TO do, get jealousy-blinded, torturous revenge! Will Chibi be able to
make it through Halloween before Bura chops his head off? And how did Goten get into this mess?
Find out!
Ages:
Chibi Trunks: 9
Bura: 8
Goten: 8
*************************************************************************************************
" Ohhhhh.... " Bura whimpered, then fell to her knees in pain.
" LITTLE B-CHAN! " Vegeta cried, then ran up to her, " B-chan! B-chan I'm sorry! Are you
alright. " he said, worried as he tried to pick her up. Bura glared at Vegeta & slapped his hand
away.
" YOU! " she shouted, " YOU TRIED TO KILL GOTEN! YOU TRIED TO BLAST HIM! " Bura growled,
" HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TOUSSAN! " she said, then softened her expression, " You're not a meanie.
..are you? "
" ... " Vegeta stared at her, a feeling of guilt washing over him. He bent down to Bura's
height, " No, no I'm not... " he trailed off.
Bura smiled, " And you'd NEVER wanna hurt lil Goten or Mr. Goten's Daddy would you? "
" Nuh-uh... " he said quietly, still in a daze.
Trunks zipped over to the two. He glanced from Vegeta to Bura then back at Vegeta again,
" What the heck is going on here? " he said to himself suspicously.
Goku grinned, " OOH! I know what's going on! Veggie's gonna come trick-or-treating with
me & Bura after all! OH BOY! "
" Guh..WHAT?! " Trunks gagged, then dashed in front of Vegeta & waved his hand in front
of the ouji's face, " Toussan? Toussan! "
" -Huh?! " Vegeta snapped to attention.
" Toussan, HELLO! "
" Toru-kun! " Vegeta smiled, " Is it time to TP Bakarrot's house yet? " he said anxiously
Trunks sighed, " *whew*!--Better. "
" But Toussan! You don't REALLY wanna put toilet paper all over Mr. Goten's Daddy's
house. He's our friend. " Bura said, clinging to Vegeta's arm.
" Awww, little B-chan... " Vegeta cooed, then paused, hearing an excited giggle coming
from above him. He looked up to see Goku staring down at him with big sparkily eyes.
" Veggie-Veggie gonna come trick-or-treating with me & Bura? " he squealed in his out-of
-place high-pitched voice.
" Duh... " Vegeta was at a loss for words, then snarled, " DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT! "
" Look at you like what? " Goku asked curiously.
" Da--YOU KNOW! WITH THOSE CREEPY SPARKLING BUGGED OUT EYES! " Vegeta said angrily, his
face turning a pale green. Goku only replied by smiling at him.
" He's creepin me out too Otoussan. " Trunks whispered, also a shade of green.
Vegeta grabbed Trunks's wrist, " On three, we rush him. " he said in a determined voice.
" But--but that's Gohan & Goten's Dad, Toussan! " Trunks complained, then caught a
glimpse of Bura, who was once again giving him an evil stare; powered up.
" That's right Trunks, you don't wanna hurt Mr. Goten's Daddy either, do you? " she
smirked.
Trunks eyes widened, " Holy--WHAT ARE YOU DOING! " he screamed at her, " YOU'RE DOING
SOMETHING! SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT HERE! " he backed up, pulling Vegeta along with him.
" You better let go of Toussan-chan right now. " Bura growled. Trunks ran towards the
open door, still holding onto Vegeta's wrist.
" COME ON TOUSSAN! " Trunks cried, " WE GOTTA RUN! "
" What are we running FROM? " Vegeta said curiously, " It would be more honorable to
go back and FIGHT whatever we're running from. "
" NO TOUSSAN! This is something WEIRD! You can't fight THIS! "
" Son. "
Trunks froze at the word, " Yes, Toussan? " he asked quietly.
" We're going to go back and fight whatever you went running away from. " Vegeta said,
then smirked, " Now let's go blast whatever it is to hell! " he smiled proudly at Trunks, who
sighed. Trunks glanced at the open door, then reached out to it. To his surprise and shock the
door slammed shut. Vegeta was taken aback at the door.
" What the heck?! " Vegeta blinked, confused.
Trunks slowly turned his head over his shoulder to see Bura chuckling maniacally Goku &
Goten behind her in a type of hypnotic daze.
" Torunkusu. " she said, " This planet has an order. Vegeta is my Toussan-chan and I am
his little B-chan. And YOU are throwing this order into CHAOS!! " she slammed her fist down,
causing a huge earthquake to occur, " You cannot pretend to be something you aren't dear brother,
and you're no saiyajin no ouji! " she pointed at Trunks's black hair/eyes and his Vegeta-like
hairdo.
" TOUSSAN! " Trunks cried, pulling on Vegeta's leg. He looked up at his otoussan to find
Vegeta too, was now in a daze, " ...toussan? "
" Toussan and Mr. Goten's Daddy are going trick-or-treating with ME, like they do every
year. And you can go with Gohan and Goten or whoever else you desire to collect candy with. "
Bura said, " But I will NOT let you go into my territory. "
" Toussan & Uncle Goku aren't TERRITORY, Bura! " Trunks said, mustering up his courage.
" Oh they are...they most certainly are... " she said. Bura's eyes glowed red as
everything around Trunks went black.
" Do you want some more tea TOO Mr. Goten's Daddy? " a voice from the darkness said.
Trunks slowly opened his eyes, then sat up. He looked around the room, still in shock. Goten was
staring at him curiously, while across the room Bura was sitting at her little teaset table with
Goku & Vegeta, who were both giggling along with her.
" I LIKE TEA! " Goku grinned as Bura poured some more imaginary tea into his cup.
" Wha--WHAT HAPPENED! " Trunks screamed. Everyone in the room instantly turned towards
him.
" OH LOOK! Trunks finally woke up! HI TRUNKS! " Goku said happily, waving to him.
" "woke up"? " Trunks looked over at Bura, who smiled sweetly at him, then glared, her
eyes turning red again for an instant, then back to the cute, angelic expression previously on
her face, " Holy cow...it's real. "
" What's real Trunks? " Goten asked. Trunks pulled Goten over to the side.
" Don't tell me you didn't just see that! " Trunks said frantically.
" See what? "
" BURA'S EYES! They just glowed RED! AND SHE PUT YOU AND UNCLE GOKU AND TOUSSAN ALL INTO
A TRANCE AND--of COURSE you don't remember! You were in a trance! " Trunks said, slapping himself
on the forehead.
" Trance?? " Goten raised an eyebrow.
" YES! TRANCE! Bura hypnotized you! "
Goten laughed, " That's funny Trunks. Bura wouldn't wanna hypnotize ME. "
Trunks sweatdropped, " Yeah...you're stupid enough on your own. "
" ? "
" So, Toussan, have you decided what you wanted to be for Halloween tommorow yet? " Bura
asked as she handed him a cookie.
" I told you already, I'm going to be a mad scientist and Trunks is going as "THE GREAT
AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI"--me. " he smiled. Bura narrowed her eyes, then went back to her
perky attitude.
" But Toussan, wouldn't you rather come with Mr. Goten's Daddy & I? We can all be fairies
together! It'll be so much fun! " Bura squealed.
" Yeah little buddy! Come play tricks-or-treats with us! " Goku said excitedly, " It
won't be Halloween without my little buddy along! "
" Kakarrot, as much as I would enjoy watching the townspeople laugh at you while you
parade around in the middle of the night in some girly little fairy-outfit, I have something more
important to do--namely TP-ing your home and spray-painting "the great and powerful saiyajin no
ouji was here" all over its walls. "
Goku's bottom lip wobbled, " Veggie that's so mean. "
" Toussan! You hurt Mr. Goten's Daddy's feelings! " Bura said, " Now give him a hug and
tell him you're sorry! " Bura demanded.
" But B-chan! " Vegeta whined, " He's full of Kako-germs! "
" VEGGIE HUG! VEGGIE HUG! " Goku spread his arms out, waiting to be hugged.
Vegeta cringed, " I AM NOT GETTING KAKO-COOTIES ALL OVER MY ROYAL BODY! "
" Yea! You tell her Toussan! Don't give in, don't give up! " Trunks cheered from across
the room, an oblivious Goten standing next to him.
Vegeta responded by giving Trunks a thumbs-up sign, then turned back to Bura, " B-chan,
I am NOT going to hug Kakarrot. He's disqusting and slimy and full of germs! "
" __PLEASE__ Toussan! " Bura begged, now wearing big sparkily eyes herself.
" OHhh...but B-chan...*sigh*. Alright. I'll give Kakarrot a hug. " Vegeta hung his head
in defeat. Trunks's jaw dropped to the floor as Bura held her head up triumphently.
Vegeta walked up to Goku, " Oh-kay Kakarrot let's get this over with. " he said, then
put his arms around the bigger saiyajin's waist & hugged him.
" AWWWWW! " Goku awwed, then squeezed the short prince, causing his face to turn blue
from lack of oxygen, " I accept your apology little buddy! "
" Hhh..uhh...acK! " Vegeta pounded on Goku, trying to make him aware of his own inability
to now breathe.
" Hmm? " Goku looked down at the blue-faced ouji, " COOL! Hey Veggie can you teach me
how to turn my face colors too? I wanna make mine green like Piccolo's! "
Vegeta rolled his eyes, then kicked Goku in the croch, causing him to instantly let go
of Vegeta. Goku fell to the floor, wheezing in pain from the blow dealt to his private area.
" I WAS TRYING TO TELL YOU YOU WERE SQUEEZING TOO HARD! " Vegeta yelled.
Goku looked up at him from the floor, whimpering sadly.
" TOUSSAN! YOU JUST MADE HIM EVEN MORE SAD! " Bura scholded.
" That doesn't mean I have to hug him AGAIN does it! " Vegeta exclaimed.
" No...all you have to do now is apologize for not apologizing the first time and give
"Kaka-chan" a big "I'm sorry" smooch. " Bura said happily.
Vegeta's face turned stark white, " WHAT?! "
" VEGGIE SMOOCH! VEGGIE SMOOCH! " Goku said happily, " Hey Bura, what's a "smooch"? "
" NO! _THAT_ IS WHERE I DRAW THE LINE! I WILL _NOT_ AND I REPEAT _NOT_ KISS KAKARROT! "
Vegeta screamed, " I DON'T CARE _HOW_ SAD HE IS! Come on Trunks, we're outta here. " Vegeta
grumbled as he left the room, followed by Trunks. The boy paused, then turned around & blew a
raspberry at Bura and ran off after his Otoussan.
" Almost there...almost... " Trunks said to himself as he rapidly pressed the buttons on
his videogame controller, the car on the track edging closer to 1st place. Unbeknownst to the boy
, a figure slowly tip-toed into his room, then leaned over towards Trunks's ear, a grin on his
face.
" HI TORU-KUN! "
" EEK! " Trunks screamed, then fell down on his side from shock. He looked around,
disoriented. He stuck his fingers in his now-aching ears & whinced from the pain.
" What're ya doing? " Vegeta said in an unusually cheerful voice normally resereved for
Bura.
" I WAS playing a videogame. And I was WINNING too until you came in here and nearly
made me legally deaf! " Trunks snapped at him, then to his surprise wasn't responded to by a ki
blast to his head.
" Can I play too? I've never playing a videogame before? " Vegeta asked anxiously.
" ... " Trunks looked at him oddly, " YOU want to play videogames?...with ME. "
" YEAH! " Vegeta grinned, then plopped himself down on the floor next to Trunks, indian-
-style.
" Uh--oh-kay. " Trunks scratched his head.
" SO! How do we start? "
" Well, you take one of the controllers there. " Trunks pointed to the objects on the
ground. Vegeta grabbed one & inspected it.
" What does it do? "
" You'll see. " Trunks said, then restarted the game, a large row of cars appeared on the
screen along with a countdown starting at 10.
Trunks pointed to two of the cars, " I'm car 4 and you're car V. As soon as the countdown
is over you hit button "A" and the 1st car of the 15 to reach the finish line wins. "
" Hai. " Vegeta nodded.
" *Beep* Go. " the machine said. Vegeta narrowed his eyes, then slammed on all the
buttons at once, causing his car to ram into a streetlight and burst into flames.
" *Beep* Loser. Loser. Car K wins. " the machine said as the winning car was shown, a
short bleep of victory music played. Vegeta sat there, stunned.
" Car K...K stands for KAKARROT! " he snarled, enraged. Trunks turned a pale green as
Vegeta formed a ball of ki & chucked it at the machine, " HA! BAKA MACHINE! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET
FOR LETTING KAKARROT WIN! " he laughed. Trunks stood up, an aggrivated look on his face as he
stomped out of the room and downstairs.
" Hey, where're ya going? " Vegeta asked curiously, " What about a round 2? "
" AHH! IT'S THE SPLATTERING BLADDER! " the voice on TV said. Trunks sat there on the
couch, upside-down & munching on popcorn as he watched another 60's horror B-movie.
" Don't, worry, Carol? The splattering bladder is noth-ing more than a horrible mutated
lab project gone wrong. "
" Run! It's spu-ing it's radioactive waste everywhere! "
" Oh NO! It's coming closer! NO! STOP! DON'T COME ANY CLOSER! " Trunks's eyes widened as
he leaned towards the screen, " NO! NO NOOOOOOOOOOO--- "
" --Hi Trunks! Whatcha watchin? " Vegeta grinned as he walked in front of the screen.
" Toussan MOVE! " Trunks complained, trying to pay attention to the screams coming from
the TV.
" K! " Vegeta nodded, then hopped onto the couch beside him, " So--what's it called? "
" Night of the Splattering Bladder. " Trunks replied, then went into movie over-speak
mode, " They said it couldn't be done! They said he was mad. But he did it anyway!
Dr. Whatchamacallit has implanted a brain in the most deadly and dangerous human organ--THE
BLADDER!! However the experiment has gone wrong--VERY wrong. Now Jeff Stubble and the rest of
his overpaid, yet untalented crew members must stop the Splattering Bladder before it expands to
a size large enough to cover the entire world with its gooey, digestive juices! "
" ... " Vegeta cocked his head to one side, " --so? We saiyajins don't even HAVE
bladders! "
Trunks looked at him, surprised, " You don't have a BLADDER Toussan?.. "
" Of course not! Bladders are weak HUMAN appendages. We saiyajins have flibbadyjibletts."
" ...really? "
Vegeta nodded excitedly, " Yup! Wanna see? "
" NO!--no thanks Toussan, I believe you. " Trunks laughed nervously.
" Aww come on! I have one on each knee, come on! "
" You have TWO bladders..on your KNEES? " Trunks gawked.
" Yup! It's a unique saiyajin royal family trait, passed down my father from his father
and so on and--you get the picture. " Vegeta said.
" Uhh--you know what Toussan, I just remembered I have important stuff to do so I'll
see ya bye! " Trunks said quickly, zipping out of the room.
Vegeta turned back to the screen & smiled as the splattering bladder devoured a girl,
" Oh-kay Toru-kun, but you don't know what you're missing! "
Trunks layed down on his bed, " Ugh, geez Toussan, just won't leave me alone! How does
Bura DEAL with that stuff! " he said, then yawned, " Eh, who cares. All that matters right now
is me getting some sleep. And the more sleep I get, the more energy I'll have tommorow for trick-
-or-treating. " he said, then slowly closed his eyes & dozed off.
" __TORU-KUN__!!! "
" Ohhhhhh... " Trunks put the pillow over his head.
" Toru-kun what the heck are you doing! " Vegeta said angrily.
" I'm SLEEPING Toussan. " Trunks gritted through his teeth from under the pillow, then
mumbled, " Or at least I WAS... "
" Sleep is for the weak! " Vegeta shouted at him, then ripped the covers off of Trunks's
bed, sending a rush of cold air in the boy's direction. Trunks sat up.
" Toussan, what do you want NOW? " Trunks said, exhausted.
Vegeta smirked, " I WANT to show you my latest and greatest plan for the DISASTEROUS
feats I shall doom upon Kakarrot's doorstep! Now follow me. " he said, grabbing Trunks by the
wrist and leading him to a small door. Vegeta looked left, then right, cautiously. He turned the
knob and then sneaked inside.
" Toussan, it's nothing more than a dark closet in here! " Trunks said.
" Ahh, that's because I haven't turned on the lights yet. " Vegeta said, then flicked the
lightswitch, " BEHOLD! MY BIG AMAZING KAKA-MONITORING SYSTEM! Or, as I affectionately refer to it
as, B.A.K.A.S. "
Trunks's jaw fell to the floor as he gazed upon the humongous room filled with
technological gadgetry and thousands of people working at the huge machines that filled it.
Unbelievably large flat monitors covering the rounded ceiling; each monitor displaying one of
Goku's frequently visited places, such as the river, his house, one in his room and one in the
candy eisle of the grocery store.
" Your Kaasan called me obsessed with destroying Kakarrot. Ahh, how WRONG she is. "
Vegeta cackled maniacly.
" Toussan...WHAT IS ALL THIS! " Trunks screamed.
" I already told you boy, "this" is my Kakarrot monitoring system. Every worker in this
lab is hard at work trying to find the one flaw, the one window of oppertunity that will allow me
to STRIKE DOWN against Kakarrot and FINALLY be able to defeat and enslave him! " Vegeta snickered
evilly.
" Does Mom know about this lab of yours Toussan? " Trunks asked, conserned.
" Of course not! " Vegeta snapped, " All my workers are freelance. I can hire and fire
them at will. That, and if your mother knew I had a huge personal corperation devoted to finding
a way to destory Kakarrot she'd kill me. "
" No crap. " Trunks said flatly, then did a double take, " Waitaminute, did you say
"enslave him"? "
" Eh? "
" Earlier, you said defeat "Kakarrot" and "enslave him"? "
" Yeah, what did you think I was going to do after I defeated Kakarrot? Kill him? Heck
no! He's going to be waiting on me hand and foot! I'll work him so hard he'd have wished I had
killed him! And maybe I'll make him wear a maid costume just to cause more pain upon his feet.
HAHA! I can just see that poor pathetic baka walking around in heels. " Vegeta laughed, then
turned to Trunks, " So? Whadda ya think! " he clasped his hands together excitedly.
" Frankly Dad, I think you're crazy. " Trunks said flatly.
" I blame only Kakarrot for that result... " Vegeta said, mourning, " AND HE SHALL PAY!
HE SHALL PAY FOR RUINING MY HONOR WITH ME RUINING HIS!!! "
" Uh, I don't think Uncle Goku HAS any honor. " Trunks pointed out.
" Well, then he shall pay for ruining my honor with me embrassing him to the point of
NO RETURN! THE RECIPT TO YOUR PRIDE WILL BE NULL AND VOID AT MY CASH REGISTER OF PAIN KAKARROT! "
Vegeta laughed at the sky, " DO YOU HEAR ME! YOUR PAIN IS NON-REFUNDABLE! AND NO, YOU WILL NOT
BE ABLE TO EXCHANGE IT FOR A LOVELY GIFT SUCH AS A SWEATER OR A PAIR OF SLACKS! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Ingenius! Isn't it Toru-kun? Trunks? Trunks? " Vegeta looked around, " Now
where did he go? "
" I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! HE'S CRAZY! " Trunks ranted as he walked down the hall, then
ran into something. He fell backwards & rubbed his nose in pain, " HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE--Bura?
" he froze.
Bura looked at him sadly, then hung her head, " Trunks, I wanted to say that I'm sorry
for what I did earlier. " she said quietly, " You can have Toussan. "
" What? " Trunks said, confused.
" I give up Trunks. " Bura said softly, " You tried and you beat me. Toussan's yours. "
Trunks stood up & dusted himself off, " I don't want him! Not anymore! That man's a nut!
You can have him for all I care! "
" Huh? "
" HE WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE! ALL HE'S BEEN TRYING TO DO ALL DAY IS BOND WITH ME! HE BLEW
UP MY GAMECUBE, RUINNED MY MOVIE AND DISQUSTED ME WITH HIS KNEE-BLADDERS, and did you know he has
a SECRET LAB dedicated to destroying Son-San! HE'S A WACKO! "
Bura sighed, " What can I do? Toussan-chan doesn't love me anymore. "
" And he won't leave ME alone! " Trunks said, " If there was only some way to get him off
of MY BACK and back onto YOURS! "
Bura looked at him hopefully, " You mean you have a plan? "
Trunks thought for a minute, then brightened up, " I got it! The only way to get Toussan
back to normal is to get MYSELF back to normal! "
" Wha? " Bura looked at him, baffled as Trunks ran off, " HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?! "
" No time to talk right now Bura! I have work to do! " Trunks smiled at her, then ducked
into a room, but stuck his head back out in her direction, " Don't you worry Bura, if this works,
and I know it will, you'll have Toussan back in time for trick-or-treating time! "
" Really Trunks? " Bura's eyes sparkled. Her brother nodded to her.
" Yep! Trust me! " he said, then closed the door.
Bura smiled at the door, " Oh thank you Trunks! You're the best! "
The Next Morning:
" Oh Toru-kun! " Vegeta said in a sing-song voice as he tapped on the door to Trunks's
bedroom, an armfull of Halloween prank items in his arms, " It's time to cause mischief to
Kakarrot's house! "
" Here I am Toussan! " Trunks's voice said happily from behind him. Vegeta turned around
& shrieked in shock.
" What'sa matter Toussan? " Trunks smiled, his contacts now gone and his spiky black hair
returned to its natural non-gravity-defying lavender color.
" ... "
" What? Are we gonna go or not? I'm lookin forward to leaving a bag fulla flaming poo on
"Kakarrot"'s doorstep. So when are we going? " he asked.
" NEVER you traitor! " Vegeta snapped at him, then dropped the prank toys to the floor
and walked off, shaking his head in disappointment, " *sigh*, I was so close...so CLOSE! "
Trunks smirked, then pulled out a small whistle & tooted it, causing another figure to
run up the stairs towards where Vegeta was walking.
The figure tugged on Vegeta's pantleg, causing the ouji to look down.
" HI TOUSSAN! " Bura said in her sweetest voice. Vegeta's face instantly brightened.
" LITTLE B-CHAN! " he picked her up & squeezed her tightly, " OH LITTLE B-CHAN! You're
mean stupid purple-hairred brother tricked me! How can I ever forgive myself for leaving you? "
" I forgive you Toussan! " Bura smiled, hugging back, " So? Are you still coming
trick-or-treating with me & Mr. Goten's Daddy? "
" I'd never dream of doing Halloween any other way! " Vegeta answered back, giggling at
her.
" GREAT! Because I just finished our fairy costumes! You're gonna look SOOOOO pretty
Toussan-chan! Wait'll you see how cute it is! " Bura said as Vegeta sweatdropped slightly.
" Fairy costumes....right. " Vegeta chuckled nervously, then followed Bura towards her
room. Bura stopped, then looked over her shoulder at Trunks & gave him a thumbs up. Trunks
returned the favor and gave her one back.
" Thank you Torunkusu! " she mouthed to him.
Trunks smiled, " No problem sis, no problem at all. "

THE END
Chuquita: [looking through a phone book; Goku is sitting in a corner of the room quietly rocking
the bag of pebbles to sleep]
Goku: What're you doing Chu-sama?
Chuquita: I'm looking for Dende's number. I figure the only way to get rid of this guilt is to
change Vedge-head back to normal. Since I can't do that, I'm going to contact someone who can.
Goku: (in a small voice) Do you REALLY think Dende will want to help us save my little buddy?
Chuquita: I don't care if he WANTS to, I only care if he CAN.
Goku: ?
Chuquita: If he doesn't want to help I can use you to threaten him.
Goku: (smiles) Wow, you really wanna get Veggie back, don't you Chu-chan?
Chuquita: Not really, I just can't bear to have my concience nag me about this for the rest of
my life.
Goku: (coddles the bag of pebbles) Well I wanna get Veggie back because I miss him. The poor lil
guy's probably scared to death in here. [pats the bag]
Chuquita: Oh come on! Vedge doesn't have any consciousness in there!...does he?
Goku: (stares at her with big sparkily eyes) Uh-huh, he's crying in there.
Chuquita: (flatly) He is NOT!
Goku: (opens up the bag to unveil salt-water filling up half the bag full of pebbles) (sniffling)
Do you know what those ARE Chu-sama!
Chuquita: (confused) No....
Goku: They're TEARS! Little Veggie-chan tears....
Chuquita: (sarcasm) Or they could be just your tears from blowing your nose in the bag.
Goku: (glares at Chu & hugs the bag closer) Don't worry little buddy, _I_ feel your pain!
Chuquita: Oh brother...come on Son-San, let's go find Dende. [leaves]
Goku: [huggles the bag closer] Oh-kay Chu-sama. Come on Veggie. [runs after her] CHU-CHAN WAIT
FOR ME!!
