Quote of the Week: -from Space Ghost Coast to Coast
ZORAK: Oh! Space Ghost! I forgot to tell you something.
SPACE GHOST: (PERKS UP) You did? What?
ZORAK: Miss Nesbitt called.
SPACE GHOST: Miss Nesbitt called? When? Why didn't you get me?
ZORAK: You were in the bathroom.
SPACE GHOST: Ah, my beautiful Miss Nesbitt called, for me. (SMILE SPARKLES)
ZORAK: Yeah, to say you're still broken up.
SPACE GHOST: D'oh!
ZORAK: (LAUGHS)
MOLTAR: (LAUGHS)
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Hi and welcome to Part 4 of "Be My Veggietine". If you missed the last Corner,
we had an eat-off chocolate-eating contest between my co-host and co-co-host here. (grins) And Veggie won!
Vegeta: (yells) WON! WON WHAT! WON GETTING MY STOMACH SOWEN BACK TOGETHER! THE BLASTED THING _EXPLODED_ BECAUSE OF YOU!
Goku: (grins) Aww Veggie, don't be a sore winner! I had fun!
Vegeta: FUN?! OH _SURE_ IT WAS SURE FUN FOR ME WHEN MY _GUTS SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE AUDIANCE_!!!! "
Goku: (cringes) Ooh, touchy.
Chuquita: Hey Veggie?
Vegeta: WHAT!
Chuquita: You DID win. So...here! [hands him a blue ribbon w/the words #1 on it]
Vegeta: (oohes) Ooooooh, shiney! [pins it on his shirt] HA! I'm number 1 and Kakarrot's number twoooooo! (blows raspberry
at Goku, who sweatdrops) I'm so happy!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Unlike our custodian, who'll be cleaning your digestive juices off the floor for a whole month.
Custodian Joe: [shakes his fist at them from out in the audiance] STUPID KIDS!
Chuquita: (laughs nervously)
Goku: (confused) Hey where'd the audiance go?
Chuquita: They got covered in Veggie-goo and had to leave till we at least get this place in decent cleanliness again,
which should be by the next Corner.
Goku: Oh.
Vegeta: (raises an eyebrow) "Veggie-goo"???
Chuquita: (flatly) Well what would you call it? (mumbles) As if I had to ask.
Vegeta: (grins proudly) Royal liquified organ juices. And as far as the audiance is conserned they should consider themselves
BLESSED to be covered in the stomach juices of the GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI!
Goku: Mmm...juices....
Chuquita: (sweatdrop) Ehhhh...heh-heh. Well, on with the next and final part of our story!
Vegeta: Thank God! (huffs) I can't stand to look at all this Mush Day memorabilia! (gags at the pinkness)
Goku: (sniffles) I'm gonna kinda miss all the free candy....
Chuquita: [pats him on the back] Awww, don't worry Son-San! Next fic we're having a brand new special guest from the show!
Goku: (yelps) NOT BURA AGAIN!
Chuquita: NO WAY! Not after what she did to us last time, that's for sure....
Goku: So, who's the guest?
Chuquita: Vegetto.
Goku: (claps his hands together) Ahh, my problem child. (grins) His little brain's fused on all wrong!
Chuquita: Indeed.
Vegeta: Who'd you say?
Chuquita: Nothing.
Vegeta: (grumbles) Yeah it BETTER be nothing.
Summary: It's Veggie's first valentine's day, but after he finds out what it is, there's nothing the
disqusted ouji wants more than to hide out until the 'acursed day of mush' is over. Unfortunately for
him, the gang decides to try to get him into the festivities and Goku calls up the one person he knows
that has the powers to get Veggie into the holiday spirit. But what happens when the plan backfires and
works a little TOO well? Will Goku be able to deal with the slap-happy ouji for the whole day? How much
love can a big buddy take? Find out!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" AHHHHHHHH!!! LITTLE VEGGIE HOW COULD YOU! " Goku fell to his knees in pain, grabbing at his chest where the arrow
had liquified, " LITTLE BUDDIES AREN'T SUPPOSED TO HURT THEIR BIG BUDDIES, VEGGIE! " he sobbed, starting to feel his entire
body begin to shake, " THEY LOVE EACH OTHER _WITHOUT_ USING ANY STUPID ARROWS ON ONE ANOTHER TO MAKE THEM LOVE 'UM MORE! "
" My sweet little valentine, how quickly you forget. " Vegeta said smoothly as he bent down to the other saiyajin,
" That's what you had Cu do to ME, wasn't it? And eye for an eye, Kakarrotto-chan. "
" GOKU! GOKUUUUUUU! ARE YOU ALRIGHT! " Chi-Chi cried, pressing her hands against the shield.
" I--I'm oh-kay Chi-chan, in fact, I don't feel ANYTHING. " Goku got up, surprised.
" That's, usually the first signal. " Cu said nervously, " You feel nothing wrong with you, then a couple of giggles,
rising body temperature, then you black out, wake up, and--by then it'll have made its way all throughout your system. "
" Well then, all we have to do is keep him from fainting then, right? " Gohan pleaded with Cu, who shook his head.
" That has nothing to do with it. It's just a reaction from the arrow, it's so his body can cool down after his
temperature rises. " Cu sighed.
" YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T STOP IT! " Gohan screamed.
" I'm afraid not. "
" WELL AT LEAST YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME WAY TO COUNTERACT IT ON BOTH OF THEM! " Gohan continued.
" Well I--- " Cu started, then screeched as Chi-Chi grabbed him and held him infront of her, snarling furiously.
" YOU _BETTER_ HAVE A WAY TO FIX MY GOKU BECAUSE I AM NOT JUST GOING TO SIT AROUND HERE WHILE HE RUNS AWAY TO SOME
LITTLE FRENCH TOWN WITH THAT MEAN CRUEL, EVIL LITTLE OUJI VEGETA! " Chi-Chi screamed at the top of her lungs.
" I, I, I DO have a mixture to counteract it, but it takes time to make. " Cu shivered, frightened.
" Hmm, France huh...I kind of like that idea. " Vegeta mused, " What about you Kakay? You'd like to come with me to
Paris, wouldn't you? "
" BAD VEGGIE! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE! " Goku scholded him angrily.
" Oh I know what I did Kaka-chan, and that's seal our fates together. " he smirked, then softened it into a smile,
" It will be so wonderful once you get used to it. Sailing across the ocean, journeying to far-off lands, seeing what this
miserable little mud-ball of yours has to offer us! " Vegeta sighed dreamily.
" NOW WAIT JUST A MINUTE HERE! " Goku & Chi-Chi shouted at Vegeta in unison.
" There is NO WAY I'm going to let you drag my baby along on your personal little 3 hour tour buddy! " Chi-Chi put
her foot down.
" Yeah Veggie. Besides, I'm already going to do all that stuff with my Chi-chan! " Goku added sweetly.
" Awww, Goku! " Chi-Chi blushed.
" That is, after we win the lottery or inherit some obscenely large amount of money. " he said cheerfully. Chi-Chi
sweatdropped.
" Well I guess its the thought that counts. " she grumbled, scratching her head.
" Ahh, but _I_ already have an obscenely large amount of cash just in my back pocket alone. " Vegeta sneaked towards
him, " I could take you anywhere you'd like to go Kaka-chan. Anywhere your little Kaka-heart desires to visit, just name it
and I'll take you there. "
" Oh-kay then, " Goku smirked, " take me back home. "
Vegeta was taken aback, " WHAT?! "
" Move me and my bedroom back where it belongs Vegeta, back in my HOUSE. _THAT_ is where I want to go. " Goku nodded
proudly.
" HEE-HEE! He did it! " Chi-Chi clapped, bouncing up and down, " That's my Goku! "
" I...I.... " Vegeta sputtered.
" You said you'd take me anywhere Veggie. And the place you're going to take me, and Chi-Chi, and Gohan, and Goten,
is back to our home. " Goku said.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, " NEVER! " he shouted.
" WHAT?! " Goku gawked, " But you said-- "
" --YOU'RE NEVER GOING HOME! " Vegeta screamed at Goku, then slammed the bigger saiyajin against the wall, frustrated
tears welling up in his eyes, " And in a few hours you will agree with me. " he tried to smile.
" But Veggie! "
" SILENCE!!! " he yelled, then formed several rings of ki and chucked them at Goku, shakling him to the wall.
" Heh, well, these look familiar. " Goku chuckled in a sort of ironic twist, " You did this to me back when I fought
you the LAST TIME you were possessed. "
" The 'last time'? " Chi-Chi raised an eyebrow at Gohan.
" Majin Buu. " Gohan whispered back.
" OH! " Chi-Chi said, enlightened.
" So--uhh, where did you get the idea for this little trick anyway? " Goku asked Vegeta as the prince turned around
and headed for the other side of the shield.
" Actually, I got that bit of insperation from you Kakay, you were so good at eluding me that I thought up something
to keep you in ONE PLACE. " Vegeta glared at him. Goku gulped. The ouji perked up, " Now! If you'll excuse me valentine I
have some things to pack for our little trip to paradise together, wherever that may be. " he said, " SHIELD DOWN! " Vegeta
ordered the invisible force-field, which disappeared for a moment just as he walked out, then re-appeared, leaving Goku stuck
inside it. Chi-Chi took one step towards him. Vegeta glared back at her and went SSJ2. Chi-Chi bit her lip in anger, " You
take one more step closer and I'll blast your head off. "
" Errrr.... " Chi-Chi growled, " GOHAN! STOP HIM! " she barked out. Gohan went SSJ2 himself.
" VEGETA! " he yelled at the ouji, who just turned to him and let out a huge ki-blast that sent him crashing into the
shield and causing the entire house to shake.
" There, that's better. "
" So, you're not really Trunks, but you are Trunks. " Goten said, confused as he & Mirai sat next to the door to the
cellar.
" Yes. "
" OHHH! " Goten grinned, " ...I don't get it. "
Mirai fell down, animé style, " No, you see, I'm Trunks, from the future, but not your future, from the future of the
alternate dimension. "
" Where's MY alternate--future--person thingy? " Goten scratched his head, " If Trunks has one then I should have one
too, right? "
" Actually, you don't exist in MY timeline. " Mirai laughed nervously.
" Why not! " Goten said, slightly peeved.
" Well, because in my timeline Goku, err, your father, died before he got your mom pregnant with you. " Mirai
explained to the confused 7 year old.
" What about Marron? Does she exist in the alternate dimension? "
" No, her mother's an evil killing machine in MY dimension. Along with her brother, of course. " Mirai said.
" AUNT JUUHACHIGOU HAS A BROTHER?! " Goten gasped.
" A twin brother, actually. "
" WOW! I NEVER KNEW THAT! Wow, I'd really like to have a twin of my own! " Goten smiled, " That way I'd have someone
to play with ALL THE TIME instead of having to wait for Trunks to come over. And then it would be two against one and he
couldn't bully me around anymore! YEAH! "
" MOVE IT ROADBLOCKS! " Vegeta screamed angrily as he flew past them, still at ssj2. He dashed up the stairs and into
his room.
" Hey! I think Uncle Veggie's back to normal! " Goten said happily, " Kaasan saved the day after all! "
Mirai gulped, glancing downstairs, " Somehow, I don't think so... "
" Ohhh! Where are they where are they! " Vegeta paniced as he practically tore his room apart looking for something.
His eyes caught hold on a shiny silver box with the ouji's name ingraved in saiyajinese on it mixed in with various pieces
of junk. He grabbed it and opened the box, " HA! " he grinned at the Capsule Corp capsules inside the box, " My special caps
just for my Kaka-chan and I! " he put them in a small navy backpack, then cheerfully left the room and skipped back down
the stairs and towards the cellar in utter confiedence.
" Hello Mirai! Hello cute little Kaka-clone! " he waved to Mirai and Goten as he returned downstairs again.
Mirai turned to Goten, " Toldja so. " he said flatly.
" I'm BAAAAACK! " Vegeta said happily in a sing-song voice, " Didja MISS ME? " he giggled, then made his way to the
floor, only to notice no one was paying attention to him. The group was busy worrily watching Goku, who was now sweating like
crazy, his body now a bright red color. The bigger saiyajin gasped for any cold air around him.
" Little Kakay? " Vegeta cocked his head, confused.
" VEGGIE! " Goku squealed excitedly, glowing brighter. He shook his head wildly, " YOU KEEP AWAY FROM ME! " he said
angrily, then panted from the heat.
" Aww, come Kakarrotto-chan and I'll take you for some ice cream! " Vegeta walked towards the shield and held his
hand out.
" Ice...cream.... " Goku trailed off, " Need ice cream.... "
" OOH! DON'T YOU GO NEAR HIM WHILE HE'S IN THIS CONDITION! " Chi-Chi scowled, grabbing Vegeta from behind, " YOU
SHORT MONSTER! "
" Kak-EEEE! " Vegeta pouted.
" DON'T HURT MY VEGGIE! " Goku wailed, trying to break out of the ki rings holding his limbs.
" ME hurt HIM! " Chi-Chi exclaimed.
" Oh Kakay! " Vegeta clapsed his hands together, " I love you Kakay! "
" REALLY my Veggie? " the bigger saiyajin's eyes sparkled with wonder.
" Mmm! " Vegeta nodded.
" YOU CUT THAT OUT! " Chi-Chi shook Vegeta from behind violently, " Cu! You can use Bulma's lab upstairs to make your
counteracting formula. "
" No! I can't! "
" WHADDA YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T! " Chi-Chi roared as the two saiyajins began making cutesy faces at one another.
" The ingredients I need for the potion cannot be found in a labortory! They're purely in nature, and it takes me at
least 5 hours to collect and mix the appropriate amounts of each item, then I have to make enough to cure them both, and the
high level of the arrows inside them is very hard to cure and requires massive amounts of-- "
" --FIVE HOURS! I DON'T _HAVE_ FIVE HOURS! " Chi-Chi snarled at him, " THEY'LL BE OFF IN HAWAII BY FIVE HOURS! "
" Kak-EEE! "
" Veggie-chan! "
" BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP! " Chi-Chi snapped at the saiyajins.
" Yes my Chi-chan! " Goku smiled, snapping out of it.
" NEVER! " Vegeta exclaimed, trying to get himself out of Chi-Chi's grasp.
Chi-Chi stared at Goku for several seconds, " Go-san? Goku is that still you in there? " she pleaded.
Goku grinned at her, " Still--sorta--kinda....maybe. "
Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " Yes or no! "
" ....I dunno. "
Both Chi-Chi and Vegeta sweatdropped this time.
" MAKE UP YOUR MIND ALREADY! " they both screamed at him.
" You're both angry at me again? " Goku gasped with joy, then frowned as Chi-Chi returned to holding Vegeta back who
started spouting sap at him faster than Goku could teleport, " It was almost back to normal too... " he pouted, then shrieked
as he felt another round of heat overthrow him, ::I gotta get out of here!:: he thought to himself, ::BUT HOW?!:: Goku looked
over at Chi-Chi & Vegeta, who were now in the middle of a heated arguement about who the bigger saiyajin loved more, " Gosh
they look pretty angry. " he observed, then felt the lightbulb of ideas appear above his head, " Angry--THAT'S IT! I gotta
find some way to make them angry! Veggie'll temporarily get back to normal giving me plenty of time to grab Chi-chan and make
a run for it! " he grinned, " I'm so smart! Who says I'm not a genius! "
" GOKU! " Chi-Chi yelled suddenly, turning his attention back to the duo infront of him, " Tell this evil little ouji
how much more you care for me than him! "
" Ohhh, Kakay tell that mean lady that I'm your favorite and you love me more than anybody else! " Vegeta smiled at
him.
Goku smirked in a way only described as 'I'm-up-to-something', " Neither. " he said bluntly.
" WHAT!! " the duo gasped.
Vegeta growled, " SHIELD DOWN! " he ordered, then stomped over to Goku and snapped his fingers, causing the ki rings
holding Goku against the wall to break, " YOU LIAR I OUTTA---WAHH! " Goku slammed into him as he flew by, then screeched to
halt infront of Chi-Chi.
" Come on Chi-Chi! If we hurry we can still make it enough to keep away from Veggie till Cu makes his antidote! "
Goku said cheerfully, then paused as Chi-Chi glared at him.
" WHADDA YOU MEAN I'M NOT YOUR FAVORITE EITHER! " Chi-Chi roared angrily at him, " YOU'RE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THAT
ARROW AREN'T YOU! "
" No! Not fully--yet! " Goku begged her, " I lied about that to get Veggie mad enough to open the shield and-- "
" --oh Kaka-chaaaaan? " Vegeta said in sing-song voice. Goku froze & looked over his shoulder to see the ouji smiling
at him with a large bruise on his cheek, cuertesy of Goku himself.
" AHH! " Goku screamed, then bolted up the stairs, through the front-door, and teleported away.
" GOKU! " Chi-Chi gasped in fright.
" KAKAY! " Vegeta put his hands on his cheeks in equal terror. The two ran up the stairs after him, followed by
Gohan, who was still holding his head in pain from being thrown against the shield.
The duo screeched to a halt infront of the open front door.
" He's...gone... " Vegeta said in a small voice, his bottom lip wobbling; he looked as if he was about to cry.
" He shouldn't be outside with that tainted arrow in his body! Who KNOWS what could happen to him! " Chi-Chi said,
worried, then turned to Vegeta, " IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT YOU KNOW! "
" WHAT?! " Vegeta said, " WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S _MY_ FAULT! " he said, shocked, then gulped, " Oh no! I must've come
on too strong--Kakay HATES me! " his eyes welled up with tears, " I'll just DIE if he hates me....what would I do without
little Kakarrotto-chan! "
" IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT, _YOU_ _IDIOOOOOOOT_! " Chi-Chi screamed in his face, " IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT
_BECAUSE_ YOU HAD TO THROW THAT STUPID ARROW AT HIM! "
" A, a, a, " Vegeta sniffled, " OHHHH! LITTLE KAKAY WHERE _ARE_ YOU! " he bawled up at the ceiling.
" Kaasan, stop it! You forget Vegeta's under the influence of those arrows too. " Gohan explained, trying to calm
her down, " And it was really Toussan's idea to do it to him anyway, so all of this is theoretically his fault, not the other
other way around. "
Chi-Chi grabbed her son by the collar, " Ask me if I care. " she said flatly.
" Uhhh, do you care? "
" NO! " she screamed, then calmed herself, " Besides, I can't punish Goku for this whole ordeal until I find him
anyway. AND IF HE THINKS HE'S STILL GOING TO THE CIRCUS THIS SUNDAY HE'S DEAD WRONG! " she screamed outside in the direction
Goku flew off in.
" Well then I guess _I'LL_ take Kakarrotto-chan to the circus! " Vegeta said cheerfully, " He's just like a little
baby when it comes to having fun, isn't he! "
" Yes. " Chi-Chi agreed, then narrowed her eyes at Vegeta, " _MY_ LITTLE BABY! "
" Hey guys, what happened? " Mirai asked as he & Goten walked over to them.
" Did you fix Toussan and Uncle Veggie yet? " Goten added.
" AWW! IT'S THE TINY KAKA-CLONE! " Vegeta grinned at Goten, then picked him up, " I bet you're gonna look just like
Kakarrotto-chan when you grow up, huh! You sure look like him now! "
" Uncle Veggie's still acting funny. " Goten sighed, then hopped down and went over to Mirai, " I don't think they
did anything to help Uncle Veggie at all! "
" Where did Son-San fly off to? " Mirai said to Chi-Chi, conserned.
" That's just it, we don't know. " Chi-Chi said bitterly, " Vegeta scared the living daylights out of him and he
just took off! "
" Hmm, I propose a contest. " Vegeta smirked, " The first one to find Kaka-chan gets to keep him! "
" WHAT!!! " Chi-Chi gasped, then growled at him, " I'LL NEVER AGREE TO THAT! "
" Just to keep the compition balanced, you can use Kako-spawns 1 and 2, along with Mirai on your team while _I_ hunt
Kakay down myself. " Vegeta said, " I wouldn't want to make it TOO easy for myself. "
" Well, at least he's starting to sound more like Vegeta. " Gohan sweatdropped, " He called us Kako-spawns this time.
That's a good sign. " he chuckled to Goten.
Chi-Chi surveyed her team, " Alright Vegeta, you're on! " she turned back to him, only to discover he was now gone.
She quickly ran outside just in time to see him blast through the sky and disappear, " OOOH! YOU CHEATER! " she turned back
to Gohan and the others, " COME ON! WHAT ARE YOU WATITING FOR! " Chi-Chi screamed as she blasted off herself, followed by
Gohan, Mirai, and Goten.
" You can fly TOO, Kaasan? " Gohan asked her, confused.
Chi-Chi snorted angrily, " In THIS fic I can! "
" Mmmm, this feels much better. " Goku smiled as he layed on his back in the flower field several miles from his
house, " I wonder why I decided to come here. " he wondered as he lay there, then felt another sudden surge of heat, " The
arrow! " he gulped, sitting up, " It's probably starting to kick in by now... " his teeth chattered with fear. Goku stopped
as he felt something land on his head. He looked up to see a squrrel from the tree behind him sitting ontop of his head.
Goku grinned and grabbed it, " SNACK! " he squealed at the squrrel, " I'm starving! "
" EEE! " the squrrel shrieked as it tried to get away. Goku paused a second before tossing the animal in his mouth.
" Gee, you're kinda cute for a snack. " he scratched his head, then tried to eat it a second time, only to stop
again, " I...ya know I'm not really in the mood for squrrel, there ya go. " he chuckled nervously, dropping the small animal,
which ran off up back into the tree, relieved, " What's happening to me! I love TO EAT small woodland creatures! Not love to
hug them! " he said to himself, nervous, " You know what'll make me feel better? Fish! Yeah, fish is GOOOD. " he licked his
lips, " And yummy and delicious and FISHy. " Goku rubbed his hands together, then grinned widely and tossed off his orange
shirt to reveal the blue shirt underneath it, " IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT'S FISH-TIME! " he cheered, then lept
into the river 2 feet away from the field of flowers, " WOOOOO! Oh little fishies! I'm here and ready to chow down! " he said
happily, then gasped with delight as the biggest fish he had ever seen suddenly lept out of the water and did a summersalt
back into the river. Goku pulled it by the tail as it was about to finish re-entering the water. He tossed it onto the ground
and jumped out after it, " OH BOY! I'm gonna have FISH for a snack! " he relished in victory, " Wow, you have to be the
biggest fish in the entire world! " Goku grinned, then pulled a knife and a fork out from behind his back and sneaked towards
the fish. He threw his right arm clutching the fork down towards the fish, grinning wider as it neared the creature.
" YAY! " Goku squealed, then opened his eyes to see his right hand shaking 2 inches above the fish, " NO! " he
screamed in horror, then tried his hardest to plundge his fork into the fish and tear its guts out, " OH GOD NO!! It's, it's
so cute---but BUT IT'S A FISH! IT'S FOOOD! IT'S DELICIOUS! I _HAVE_ TO EAT IT! " he sobbed, then dropped his utensils and
dragged the fish back towards the river, " I can't believe this! " he wailed pitifully, " I can't find it in my heart to
rip open an animal and devour the rich chewy goodness inside its body! NOT EVEN A FISH! " he cursed himself as he pushed the
fish back into the water, which promptly swam away. Goku fell to his knees, " IT'S NOT FAIR! " he put his head in his hands,
then waved sadly to the fish, " Goodbye dinnerrrrAWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! " Goku bawled, then made his way back to
where he had left the top half of gi, " I don't wanna be anybody's valentine if it means I have to even love the animals that
I NORMALLY USE AS A FOOD SOURCE! "
Goku reached down through the flowery meadow to grab his gi top, only to find it now gone, " AHH! You gotta be
kidding me! I've lost my appetite AND half of my gi TOO now! "
" Heeheehee! " a voice giggled from in the tall meadow.
::Oh NO! Someone's here! I don't know if I could handle another PERSON now!:: Goku gulped, " Huh--hello? " he called
out.
" ... "
" HELLO IS SOMEONE THERE! "
" ... "
" PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME! CU! CHI-CHAN IS THAT YOU! " Goku called out, his stomach sobbing in agony, " CHI-CHAN IF
THAT'S YOU THIS ISN'T FUNNY! I'M SORRY ABOUT EARLIER! I TOLD YOU I WAS LYING WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME! "
" ... "
" THIS BETTER NOT BE A JOKE! " he could feel his eyes welling up with tears again, " I'M NOT IN THE MOOD FOR JOKES
RIGHT NOW CHI-CHAN! THAT STUPID ARROW MADE IT SO I FELT SORRY FOR ANY ANIMALS I TRY TO EAT! I'M STARVING AND I WANT FOOD! "
he cried, then yelped as his foot hit a rock and he fell down in the flowers and onto his stomach. He crossed his arms
infront of himself and sobbed into them.
" Heeheehee, don't cry. Meat isn't EVERTHING you know. " the voice from before giggled some more; its sound even
closer.
Goku opened his eyes to find himself staring at his arms. He looked down at his blue t-shirt from the position he
was in. The saiyajin sighed, the t-shirt looked half-empty without his trademark gi overtop of it, " Huh? " he turned in the
diretion of the sound to see Vegeta sitting a couple feet away from him, indian-style. Goku's orange gi top perched happily
over of the ouji's navy training outfit.
" VEGGIE! " he shouted angrily, sitting up himself, " Veggie you give me that shirt back right now! " he yelled as if
the ouji was only a small child.
" What do you need two layers of shirts for anyway? " Vegeta smiled at him, " Besides, I like the blue one underneath
it MUCH BETTER than this silly orange one! " he tugged at the part of the gi he was wearing.
" OOOH! VEGGIE IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! IF YOU HADN'T THROWN THAT ARROW AT ME I NEVER WOULD'VE LOST MY ABILITY TO EAT
MEAT WITHOUT FEELING SORRY FOR THE ANIMAL I'D BE EATING! " Goku screamed, then broke into a sob, " You should've seen how
big that fish was! Oh it was the meatest of the meatest fish in the entire world and it played right into my hands and it
was all mine and I couldn't bring myself to eat it! THIS WAS THE KIND OF FISH _DREAMS_ ARE MADE OF! IT COULD FEED A FAMILY
OF 40 FOR MONTHS! " he wailed, " And I let it go! I can't believe I tossed it back into the river and LET IT GO! I'm so
hungry! I couldn't even eat a SQURREL! "
" Don't worry about it Kaka-chan. " Vegeta said cheerfully, then smirked, " You could always become a Vegetarian. "
he grinned.
Goku glared at him, " Vegeta that HAS to be the cheesiest line I've EVER heard out of your mouth! " he got up and
started to stamp off.
" Don't you want your gi shirt? " Vegeta asked curiously.
" NO! " Goku screamed at the top of his lungs, " NO I DON'T! YOU CAN KEEP IT FOR ALL I CARE! _I'M_ GOING HOME! "
The prince zipped infront of him, " Won't you even wait for THIS? " he held out a freshly cooked cheeseburger.
" *FOOD* *FOOD*! " Goku's stomach squeaked loud enough to sound legible, " *MUST HAVE FOOD*! "
" WE'RE NOT EATING ANYTHING VEGGIE MAKES! " Goku shouted down at his stomach, which whimpered sadly.
" *BUT IT'S FOOD*! "
" Yeah but... " Goku trailed off, his eyes fixating on the cheeseburger. The slightly overcooked burger rested
inbetween two warm sesame-seed buns. The slice of cheese covering the burger dripped down overtop of it. Beneath the burger
and bottom bun sat lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, onions, relish, any and everything you could possibly stuff on a
cheeseburger, " Oh sweet merciful heavens...it's beautiful... " Goku stared at the cheeseburger; a waterfall of drool flowing
out of his mouth and watering the flowers at his feet.
" You said you're hungry didn't you? " Vegeta said slyly, holding the cheeseburger up to him, " So why don't you take
a bite, hmm? "
" BITE YEAH! YEAH YEAH YEAH! " Goku snatched the cheeseburger out of Vegeta's hands, then held it up to his mouth and
stopped, " But--but what about the poor cow they used to make this burger? What about HER! " he felt his eyes begin to water.
" Oh calm down Kakarrotto-chan, she's not ALONE. In fact, Mc.Donalds alone can have up to 1000 cows in each burger! "
Vegeta smiled at him.
" 1---000. " Goku felt his bottom lip wobble, " little COWS! _KILLED_ for my stomach's own amusement? "
" *YEA! COWS*! " his stomach cheered. Goku dropped the burger to the ground.
" Oh, Veggie, I can't do it. " Goku started to sob again, " All those poor COWS! SMASHED INTO _THIS_! " he held up
the patty by itself, " THIS FLIMSY PLASTIC-LIKE OVAL OF _GREASE_!! OH VEH-HEH-GEEEE! " he cried, latching onto the smaller
saiyajin, " Those poor animals! I want to eat them so much! But I caaaahaahaan't! " he buried his face into the ouji's
shoulder.
" Oh Kaka-chan, it'll be alright. " Vegeta hugged back, " I love you. "
" Really Veggie? "
" Really. "
" *BONG*! " the two saiyajins fell to the ground unconsious. Chi-Chi stood behind them grinning, a frying pan in
each hand above where their heads had been.
" HA! THE DOUBLE FRYING PAN ATTACK OF DOOM! " she shouted victoriously.
Gohan, Mirai, and Goten sweatdropped behind her.
" HEY! WHAT ABOUT A LITTLE FANFARE OVER HERE HUH! " Chi-Chi yelled at them.
" Uh, that was great! Yeah! " Mirai clapped nervously.
" Amazing trick Kaasan! I don't know HOW you do it. " Gohan cheered, also slightly nervous.
" Well aren't you boys NICE. " Chi-Chi smiled sweetly, then returned to her aggrivated demeanor, " Now let's get
tweedle dee and tweedle dum here back to Capsule Corp. Cu should have that concoction of his ready by now AND IF HE HASN'T
HE'S GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF _EXPLAINING_ TO DO! "
" Are you sure they're going to be oh-kay in there? " Chi-Chi said, conserned as Cu hooked the two saiyajins into
two seperate large glass containers, both contected to a bottle of blue liquid. Tubes came from the bottle & connected into
the top of the containers.
" It's the fastest, easiest, and most effective way to administer the antidote AND get my arrows out of their bodies
and back in my backpack where they belong! " Cu said as he pressed several buttons on the panel, then paused as Goku & Vegeta
slowly woke up.
" Wuh, wuh happend? " Goku said groggily, then, not realizing where he was started shrieking, " AHH! AHH! LEMMIE OUT!
LEMMIE OUT! SOMEBODY HELP! " he banged on the foggy glass wall of the container. He looked down suddenly to see his whole
body shaking like it was freezing, " Veh-geee! VEGGIE!! VEGGIE WHERE ARE YOU! I NEED YOU I LOVE YOU VEH-GEEE! "
" Eh? " Vegeta sat up in the other container & yawned, then looked around, surprised at his surroundings.
" LITTLE VEGGIE-CHAN HELP MEEEEEE!!!!! "
" Kakay? " Vegeta gasped, his body also starting to shake wildly, " KAKAY! KAKAY HERE I AM KAKARROTTO-CHAN! "
" WHERE'S HERE! " Goku sobbed.
" I DON'T KNOW! " the ouji responded, his hands starting to shake even faster.
" Listen to them, DEE-squsting. " Mirai stuck out his tongue.
" Pathetic. " Chi-Chi grumbled, then turned to Cu, " Can you operate this thing with them awake? "
" Yes. " Cu nodded, " But I must remind you that with them awake that after the arrows are out of their bodies it
could become much more tramatic for them than if they are asleep. At least if they sleep through it they might assume it was
just all a bad dream, but you see-- "
" --OH SHUT UP AND TURN THE STUPID MACHINE ON ALREADY!! " Chi-Chi screamed.
Cu gulped, " Yes Ma'am! " he pulled a lever that caused the blue liquid to pour through the tubes and turning into a
gas as it entered the containers, blinding anyone from being able to see inside to tubes. Sounds of the two saiyajins
screaming in fright echoed from inside the machine. Goten held onto Chi-Chi, frightened himself.
" Oh-kay, and---now. " Cu said, then stopped the machine. The fog inside cleared to reveal two very dazed & confused
saiyajins; along with arrows 10 & 11 lying on the floor of their chambers, " 10! 11! THEY'RE SAFE AND SOUND! " Cu said
happily as he opened the chambers and went to grab his arrows, " Oh they're both in perfect condition too; if I DO say so
myself! " he waddled back to the control panel & placed them in his bag.
Goku & Vegeta wobbled out of the chambers. They both spotted each other & squealed.
" KAKAY! "
" VEGGIE! "
The duo ran to hug one another, " HI VEGGIE! " Goku said in his normal cheery tone of voice, " Gosh it's nice of you
to hug me like this! "
" Mmm... " the ouji smiled, then froze, " WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING! " he shrieked, then pushed Goku away, " YOU!
YOU BIG FAT BAKAYARO! YOU'VE GOTTEN YOUR NASTY KAKO-GERMS ALL OVER MY ROYAL BODY! "
" HEY! " Goku said in defense, " YOU LEAVE MY KAKO-GERMS ALONE THEY NEVER HURT YOU AND---how did we get down here in
Bulma's lab? "
Vegeta paused, " ...I...don't know. "
" ... "
" ... "
The duo's eyes suddenly widened as realization of the past day's memories set in. They stared at each other for a
moment, then let out the loudest, most horrified screams they had ever made.
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! " they screamed in terror at each other, then backed up, " YOU! "
" YOU HUGGED ME! "
" YOU WASHED MY HAIR! "
" YOU HUGGED ME! "
" YOU CALLED ME YOUR 'LITTLE ANGEL'! "
" YOU HUGGED ME! "
" YOU PUT ON PART OF MY GI AND FROLICKED THROUGH THE FLOWERS WITH ME! "
" YOU HUGGED ME! "
" YOU TELEPORTED MY BEDROOM TO YOUR BASEMENT AND LOCKED ME DOWN THERE! "
" YOU HUGGED ME! "
" YOU SERENADED ME! "
" YOU HUGGED ME! "
" YOU MADE ME PLAY STRIP POKER AGAINST YOU! "
" YOU HUGGED ME! "
" YOU USED CU'S ARROWS TO TRAP ME IN YOUR EVIL WHIRL OF VEGGIE OBSESSIVE COMPLUSIVENESS! "
" YOU HUGGED ME! "
" YOU EXCLAIMED TO THE HEAVENS THAT YOU LOVED ME! "
" YOU---I did _what_!? " Vegeta gawked, " ...oh my God I said 'I love you' to Kakarrot! " his face turned green.
The ouji pulled his tongue out of his mouth, " Oh! Ith tainded! By rohal toug eth tainded by wordths uff mush! "
Goku raised an eyebrow, " Come again? "
" I SAID--MY ROYAL TONGUE IS TAINTED BY WORDS OF MUSH! " he shouted furiously at Goku, " THIS IS ALL _YOUR_ FAULT
KAKARROT! "
Goku smirked, " Don't you mean Kakarrotto-chan; Kaka-chan; or maybe even Kakay? "
The ouji's face turned bright red with embrassment, " Oh God NO! " he backed up, humiliated, ::HOW _DARE_ I LET
SUCH MUSH ESCAPE MY TONGUE!:: he turned to see his reflection in a nearby machine and gasped to see the ponytail still in
his hair. He ripped the ponytail-holder out and tossed it to the ground, sending his spiky hair catapulting back into its
usual style.
" YOU--YOU--IDIOT! " Vegeta sputtered.
" I'm sorry about all this Veggie, I just wanted you to be my valentine; and you seemed so angry, and I just wanted
to get you into the spirit of things and I went too far, but I didn't know I went too far you know? " Goku pleaded with the
enraged ouji.
" I--OHHH--KAKARROT I OUTTA--ERRRGH! " Vegeta pulled a crumbled piece of red paper out of his pocket & slammed it
into Goku's hand, " HERE! "
Goku looked down at the paper curiously, then started to unravel it.
" Here's your STUPID 'spirit of things'. " Vegeta crossed his arms stubbornly as the larger saiyajin finished opening
the piece of red paper.
" Careful Goku! It could be a bomb! " Chi-Chi warned. Goku gulped and then flattened the paper out to reveal the
crumbled piece of paper was once in the shape of a heart. He looked down sympathetically at the ouji, who just stood there,
glaring vengefully up at him.
" Roses are red, violets are blue, don't you dare tell anybody, how much I love you. " Goku trailed off, reading the
poem, " Oh Veggie... " he smiled at Vegeta, who sneered at him.
" I felt sorry for you after you left me boiling with contempt upstairs because I told you I didn't want to be your
stupid valentine. " he glared at Goku, who hung his head in guilt. Vegeta sighed, " SO, I decided to make you a card. I was
planning to give it to you after I took my nap and your self-esteem had been pretty much flushed down the toilet. " he
narrowed his eyes, " But that didn't HAPPEN that way, did it? "
" No Veggie. " Goku said quietly, still riddled with guilt.
" And what did you do to me instead Kakarrot? Go on, tell me. " Vegeta prodded him, snarling.
" I had Cu shoot a love arrow at you while you were sleeping so you'd like valentine's day as much as I do. " Goku
answered, staring at the ground.
" Correct. And what have you learned from all this Kakarrot? " Vegeta smirked, nodding.
Goku looked up and broke into a grin, " I LEARNED HOW BADLY YOU REALLY LOVE ME AND YOU LIKE MY HAIR TO SMELL LIKE
STRAWBERRIES! "
" ... " Vegeta sweatdropped, " Kakarrot, come here. " he motioned him over.
" Yes little buddy Veggie! " Goku said happily.
" Kakarrot, turn around. "
" Oh-kay Veggie! " Goku said, doing so.
" Now bend down. " Vegeta said calmly.
" Well...alright. " Goku shrugged.
Vegeta raised his foot and kicked Goku right smack in the butt, sending the other saiyajin leaping upward through the
ceiling wailing in pain. He grinned, " I saw that one in a looneytoon. "
" ERRRRRRRRRRR.... "
Vegeta looked behind him to see Chi-Chi growling angrily at him. He laughed nervously, " Oh, heh-hello. Chi-Chi. "
" VEH-GEE-TAHHH!!! " Chi-Chi snarled, then perked up & shook his hand, " I am SO happy to have the old you back! "
she shocked the ouji by hugging him, then pulled away and said sweetly, " But you still kicked my Goku, and that is wrong. "
Chi-Chi slapped Vegeta back and forth, " TAKE _THAT_ AND _THAT_ AND _THAT_! "
" Now now now, is this ANYWAY for you people to act on Valentine's Day! " Cu said, disqusted, then gulped as Vegeta &
Chi-Chi smirked at him, then at each other.
" GET HIM! " Chi-Chi & Vegeta shouted. Cu shrieked and dashed off, Chi-Chi & Vegeta running after him and tossing ki
blasts at him.
" OUCH! PLEASE *OUCH* STOP! *OUCH*! " Cu cried as he continued to run for his life, " HOW CAN YOU *OUCH* TREAT THE
LORD OF LOVE THIS *OUCH* WAY!!! "
" Very easily! " Chi-Chi smirked, then screeched to a halt, " GET HIM VEGETA! "
The ouji chuckled, then let out a gigantic blast of ki, " FINALLLLLLLLLL FLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSHHH!!! "
" WAHHH! " Cu yelped as the blast engulfed him, frying him to a blackened crisp. The two paused, then burst into
laughter at the sight of him. Cu grumbled, then flew off, " FINE! BE THAT WAY! SEE IF _I_ DO _YOU_ A FAVOR EVER AGAIN! "
Vegeta grinned, then shouted back at him, " SEE THAT YOU _DON'T_! "

THE END
Chuquita: (grinning) Ahh, windowsXP; allowing the writer to continue her stories PAST 30kb. (sighs) Such freedom!
Vegeta: [helping Chu take down the Valentine's Day settings in the Corner] Good riddence! I'm glad THIS story's over.
Chuquita: (shrugs) I dunno, I didn't think it was that bad. I've done worse, I've done better, but this one was ok.
Vegeta: (grumbles) [tosses another heart to the ground] Well _I_ didn't like it. Some reviewers were starting to think it
was getting to be a shounen ai between me and Kakarrot!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Yah, I really didn't intend it to be like that. [tosses a valentine's day snow-globe into her bag of
ornaments] Buuuut I can't control how other people comprehend what I'm writing, ya know. (smiles) But it's good that way cuz
it lets the reader have more of an imagination with it. Besides I'm too lazy to walk everyone through my stories the way
Stephen King does. I'm more of one for dialogue than I am for detail.
Vegeta: (still slightly aggrivated at her) I _STILL_ didn't enjoy all the mush you had in store for me.
Chuquita: (glares at him) HEY! I'm a nice person! I didn't put any kissing in it did I!
Vegeta: (shivers at the thought) No...no you didn't.
Chuquita: (grins) Now that's a good Veggie!
Vegeta: You're talking to me like your dog again.
Chuquita: (blushes; embrassed) Sorry! (*idea*) I should have the little sausage as a guest star one these days.
Vegeta: (raises eyebrow) The 'little sausage'?
Chuquita: One of my many nicknames for my dog!
Vegeta: You're odd, you know that?
Chuquita: Hey, so are you.
Vegeta: ....point. (grins boastfully) But that's what makes me so GREAT AND POWERFUL!
Goku: (w/his cheeks stuffed with chocolate) I GOT RID OF THE REST OF THE VALENTINE'S CANDY GUYS!
Vegeta: (rolls his eyes) Speaking of 'odd', hello again Kakarrot.
Goku: (happily) HI LITTLE VEGGIE!....HEY VEGGIE!
Vegeta: (annoyed) What?
Goku: Guess who are next guest for the Corner is!
Vegeta: (sarcastically) Chu's pet dog.
Goku: (giggles) NO! You silly ouji! It's Vegetto!
Vegeta: (freezes) What?
Goku: You said that already!
Vegeta: (angrily) (to Goku) KAKARROT! HOW CAN WE POSSIBLY BE IN THE NEXT CORNER IF THE GUEST IS _OUR FUSED FORM_!
Chuquita: A brillant plothole deserves a brillant answer! (to Veggie) I had Mirai Trunks use his time machine to go pick him
up from during Vegetto's fight w/Buu. AND since Mirai's just creating another alternate dimension it won't be harming US in
any way.
Vegeta: (confused/amazed) You mean I'm actually going to meet this fused saiyajin mess combined from the genes of me AND
Kakarrot?
Chuquita: (nods) Yup! (cautious) But you gotta be careful, he's mentally unstable.
Goku: (gawks) MENTALLY UNSTABLE?!
Chuquita: ...yeahhh. I mean, come on, what do you THINK the subconsious of a guy fused of a vengeful; paranoid prince and the
perky 'third-class' peasant that's nearly driven him to the brink of insanity's gonna act like?
Goku: Split personalities!
Chuquita: (happily) EXACTLY!....OH! One more thing before we go! (to audiance) Waaaaaaaaay back at the end of "Break a Leg"
I listed 3 possible stories I would write after it, and I chose 2, which ended up being Mustacheo. Since I'm done with this
little Valentine's special the next story I'm starting on is one that got the most requests, which was Goku, Veggie, Mirai,
and Bura's camping trip. Number 1. No title for it yet, see ya when I have one!
Goku: (waves) [still with candy in his mouth] BYE!!
Vegeta: (flatly) Bye.
...
...
...
Vegeta: (furious) (to audiance) LEAVE ALREADY!
Goku & Chu: (giggling as Veggie stomps off) Cya later everybody!

Quote of the Week: -from Space Ghost Coast to Coast
ZORAK: Oh! Space Ghost! I forgot to tell you something.
SPACE GHOST: (PERKS UP) You did? What?
ZORAK: Miss Nesbitt called.
SPACE GHOST: Miss Nesbitt called? When? Why didn't you get me?
ZORAK: You were in the bathroom.
SPACE GHOST: Ah, my beautiful Miss Nesbitt called, for me. (SMILE SPARKLES)
ZORAK: Yeah, to say you're still broken up.
SPACE GHOST: D'oh!
ZORAK: (LAUGHS)
MOLTAR: (LAUGHS)
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Hi and welcome to Part 4 of "Be My Veggietine". If you missed the last Corner,
we had an eat-off chocolate-eating contest between my co-host and co-co-host here. (grins) And Veggie won!
Vegeta: (yells) WON! WON WHAT! WON GETTING MY STOMACH SOWEN BACK TOGETHER! THE BLASTED THING _EXPLODED_ BECAUSE OF YOU!
Goku: (grins) Aww Veggie, don't be a sore winner! I had fun!
Vegeta: FUN?! OH _SURE_ IT WAS SURE FUN FOR ME WHEN MY _GUTS SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE AUDIANCE_!!!! "
Goku: (cringes) Ooh, touchy.
Chuquita: Hey Veggie?
Vegeta: WHAT!
Chuquita: You DID win. So...here! [hands him a blue ribbon w/the words #1 on it]
Vegeta: (oohes) Ooooooh, shiney! [pins it on his shirt] HA! I'm number 1 and Kakarrot's number twoooooo! (blows raspberry
at Goku, who sweatdrops) I'm so happy!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Unlike our custodian, who'll be cleaning your digestive juices off the floor for a whole month.
Custodian Joe: [shakes his fist at them from out in the audiance] STUPID KIDS!
Chuquita: (laughs nervously)
Goku: (confused) Hey where'd the audiance go?
Chuquita: They got covered in Veggie-goo and had to leave till we at least get this place in decent cleanliness again,
which should be by the next Corner.
Goku: Oh.
Vegeta: (raises an eyebrow) "Veggie-goo"???
Chuquita: (flatly) Well what would you call it? (mumbles) As if I had to ask.
Vegeta: (grins proudly) Royal liquified organ juices. And as far as the audiance is conserned they should consider themselves
BLESSED to be covered in the stomach juices of the GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI!
Goku: Mmm...juices....
Chuquita: (sweatdrop) Ehhhh...heh-heh. Well, on with the next and final part of our story!
Vegeta: Thank God! (huffs) I can't stand to look at all this Mush Day memorabilia! (gags at the pinkness)
Goku: (sniffles) I'm gonna kinda miss all the free candy....
Chuquita: [pats him on the back] Awww, don't worry Son-San! Next fic we're having a brand new special guest from the show!
Goku: (yelps) NOT BURA AGAIN!
Chuquita: NO WAY! Not after what she did to us last time, that's for sure....
Goku: So, who's the guest?
Chuquita: Vegetto.
Goku: (claps his hands together) Ahh, my problem child. (grins) His little brain's fused on all wrong!
Chuquita: Indeed.
Vegeta: Who'd you say?
Chuquita: Nothing.
Vegeta: (grumbles) Yeah it BETTER be nothing.
Summary: It's Veggie's first valentine's day, but after he finds out what it is, there's nothing the
disqusted ouji wants more than to hide out until the 'acursed day of mush' is over. Unfortunately for
him, the gang decides to try to get him into the festivities and Goku calls up the one person he knows
that has the powers to get Veggie into the holiday spirit. But what happens when the plan backfires and
works a little TOO well? Will Goku be able to deal with the slap-happy ouji for the whole day? How much
love can a big buddy take? Find out!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" AHHHHHHHH!!! LITTLE VEGGIE HOW COULD YOU! " Goku fell to his knees in pain, grabbing at his chest where the arrow
had liquified, " LITTLE BUDDIES AREN'T SUPPOSED TO HURT THEIR BIG BUDDIES, VEGGIE! " he sobbed, starting to feel his entire
body begin to shake, " THEY LOVE EACH OTHER _WITHOUT_ USING ANY STUPID ARROWS ON ONE ANOTHER TO MAKE THEM LOVE 'UM MORE! "
" My sweet little valentine, how quickly you forget. " Vegeta said smoothly as he bent down to the other saiyajin,
" That's what you had Cu do to ME, wasn't it? And eye for an eye, Kakarrotto-chan. "
" GOKU! GOKUUUUUUU! ARE YOU ALRIGHT! " Chi-Chi cried, pressing her hands against the shield.
" I--I'm oh-kay Chi-chan, in fact, I don't feel ANYTHING. " Goku got up, surprised.
" That's, usually the first signal. " Cu said nervously, " You feel nothing wrong with you, then a couple of giggles,
rising body temperature, then you black out, wake up, and--by then it'll have made its way all throughout your system. "
" Well then, all we have to do is keep him from fainting then, right? " Gohan pleaded with Cu, who shook his head.
" That has nothing to do with it. It's just a reaction from the arrow, it's so his body can cool down after his
temperature rises. " Cu sighed.
" YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T STOP IT! " Gohan screamed.
" I'm afraid not. "
" WELL AT LEAST YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME WAY TO COUNTERACT IT ON BOTH OF THEM! " Gohan continued.
" Well I--- " Cu started, then screeched as Chi-Chi grabbed him and held him infront of her, snarling furiously.
" YOU _BETTER_ HAVE A WAY TO FIX MY GOKU BECAUSE I AM NOT JUST GOING TO SIT AROUND HERE WHILE HE RUNS AWAY TO SOME
LITTLE FRENCH TOWN WITH THAT MEAN CRUEL, EVIL LITTLE OUJI VEGETA! " Chi-Chi screamed at the top of her lungs.
" I, I, I DO have a mixture to counteract it, but it takes time to make. " Cu shivered, frightened.
" Hmm, France huh...I kind of like that idea. " Vegeta mused, " What about you Kakay? You'd like to come with me to
Paris, wouldn't you? "
" BAD VEGGIE! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE! " Goku scholded him angrily.
" Oh I know what I did Kaka-chan, and that's seal our fates together. " he smirked, then softened it into a smile,
" It will be so wonderful once you get used to it. Sailing across the ocean, journeying to far-off lands, seeing what this
miserable little mud-ball of yours has to offer us! " Vegeta sighed dreamily.
" NOW WAIT JUST A MINUTE HERE! " Goku & Chi-Chi shouted at Vegeta in unison.
" There is NO WAY I'm going to let you drag my baby along on your personal little 3 hour tour buddy! " Chi-Chi put
her foot down.
" Yeah Veggie. Besides, I'm already going to do all that stuff with my Chi-chan! " Goku added sweetly.
" Awww, Goku! " Chi-Chi blushed.
" That is, after we win the lottery or inherit some obscenely large amount of money. " he said cheerfully. Chi-Chi
sweatdropped.
" Well I guess its the thought that counts. " she grumbled, scratching her head.
" Ahh, but _I_ already have an obscenely large amount of cash just in my back pocket alone. " Vegeta sneaked towards
him, " I could take you anywhere you'd like to go Kaka-chan. Anywhere your little Kaka-heart desires to visit, just name it
and I'll take you there. "
" Oh-kay then, " Goku smirked, " take me back home. "
Vegeta was taken aback, " WHAT?! "
" Move me and my bedroom back where it belongs Vegeta, back in my HOUSE. _THAT_ is where I want to go. " Goku nodded
proudly.
" HEE-HEE! He did it! " Chi-Chi clapped, bouncing up and down, " That's my Goku! "
" I...I.... " Vegeta sputtered.
" You said you'd take me anywhere Veggie. And the place you're going to take me, and Chi-Chi, and Gohan, and Goten,
is back to our home. " Goku said.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, " NEVER! " he shouted.
" WHAT?! " Goku gawked, " But you said-- "
" --YOU'RE NEVER GOING HOME! " Vegeta screamed at Goku, then slammed the bigger saiyajin against the wall, frustrated
tears welling up in his eyes, " And in a few hours you will agree with me. " he tried to smile.
" But Veggie! "
" SILENCE!!! " he yelled, then formed several rings of ki and chucked them at Goku, shakling him to the wall.
" Heh, well, these look familiar. " Goku chuckled in a sort of ironic twist, " You did this to me back when I fought
you the LAST TIME you were possessed. "
" The 'last time'? " Chi-Chi raised an eyebrow at Gohan.
" Majin Buu. " Gohan whispered back.
" OH! " Chi-Chi said, enlightened.
" So--uhh, where did you get the idea for this little trick anyway? " Goku asked Vegeta as the prince turned around
and headed for the other side of the shield.
" Actually, I got that bit of insperation from you Kakay, you were so good at eluding me that I thought up something
to keep you in ONE PLACE. " Vegeta glared at him. Goku gulped. The ouji perked up, " Now! If you'll excuse me valentine I
have some things to pack for our little trip to paradise together, wherever that may be. " he said, " SHIELD DOWN! " Vegeta
ordered the invisible force-field, which disappeared for a moment just as he walked out, then re-appeared, leaving Goku stuck
inside it. Chi-Chi took one step towards him. Vegeta glared back at her and went SSJ2. Chi-Chi bit her lip in anger, " You
take one more step closer and I'll blast your head off. "
" Errrr.... " Chi-Chi growled, " GOHAN! STOP HIM! " she barked out. Gohan went SSJ2 himself.
" VEGETA! " he yelled at the ouji, who just turned to him and let out a huge ki-blast that sent him crashing into the
shield and causing the entire house to shake.
" There, that's better. "
" So, you're not really Trunks, but you are Trunks. " Goten said, confused as he & Mirai sat next to the door to the
cellar.
" Yes. "
" OHHH! " Goten grinned, " ...I don't get it. "
Mirai fell down, animé style, " No, you see, I'm Trunks, from the future, but not your future, from the future of the
alternate dimension. "
" Where's MY alternate--future--person thingy? " Goten scratched his head, " If Trunks has one then I should have one
too, right? "
" Actually, you don't exist in MY timeline. " Mirai laughed nervously.
" Why not! " Goten said, slightly peeved.
" Well, because in my timeline Goku, err, your father, died before he got your mom pregnant with you. " Mirai
explained to the confused 7 year old.
" What about Marron? Does she exist in the alternate dimension? "
" No, her mother's an evil killing machine in MY dimension. Along with her brother, of course. " Mirai said.
" AUNT JUUHACHIGOU HAS A BROTHER?! " Goten gasped.
" A twin brother, actually. "
" WOW! I NEVER KNEW THAT! Wow, I'd really like to have a twin of my own! " Goten smiled, " That way I'd have someone
to play with ALL THE TIME instead of having to wait for Trunks to come over. And then it would be two against one and he
couldn't bully me around anymore! YEAH! "
" MOVE IT ROADBLOCKS! " Vegeta screamed angrily as he flew past them, still at ssj2. He dashed up the stairs and into
his room.
" Hey! I think Uncle Veggie's back to normal! " Goten said happily, " Kaasan saved the day after all! "
Mirai gulped, glancing downstairs, " Somehow, I don't think so... "
" Ohhh! Where are they where are they! " Vegeta paniced as he practically tore his room apart looking for something.
His eyes caught hold on a shiny silver box with the ouji's name ingraved in saiyajinese on it mixed in with various pieces
of junk. He grabbed it and opened the box, " HA! " he grinned at the Capsule Corp capsules inside the box, " My special caps
just for my Kaka-chan and I! " he put them in a small navy backpack, then cheerfully left the room and skipped back down
the stairs and towards the cellar in utter confiedence.
" Hello Mirai! Hello cute little Kaka-clone! " he waved to Mirai and Goten as he returned downstairs again.
Mirai turned to Goten, " Toldja so. " he said flatly.
" I'm BAAAAACK! " Vegeta said happily in a sing-song voice, " Didja MISS ME? " he giggled, then made his way to the
floor, only to notice no one was paying attention to him. The group was busy worrily watching Goku, who was now sweating like
crazy, his body now a bright red color. The bigger saiyajin gasped for any cold air around him.
" Little Kakay? " Vegeta cocked his head, confused.
" VEGGIE! " Goku squealed excitedly, glowing brighter. He shook his head wildly, " YOU KEEP AWAY FROM ME! " he said
angrily, then panted from the heat.
" Aww, come Kakarrotto-chan and I'll take you for some ice cream! " Vegeta walked towards the shield and held his
hand out.
" Ice...cream.... " Goku trailed off, " Need ice cream.... "
" OOH! DON'T YOU GO NEAR HIM WHILE HE'S IN THIS CONDITION! " Chi-Chi scowled, grabbing Vegeta from behind, " YOU
SHORT MONSTER! "
" Kak-EEEE! " Vegeta pouted.
" DON'T HURT MY VEGGIE! " Goku wailed, trying to break out of the ki rings holding his limbs.
" ME hurt HIM! " Chi-Chi exclaimed.
" Oh Kakay! " Vegeta clapsed his hands together, " I love you Kakay! "
" REALLY my Veggie? " the bigger saiyajin's eyes sparkled with wonder.
" Mmm! " Vegeta nodded.
" YOU CUT THAT OUT! " Chi-Chi shook Vegeta from behind violently, " Cu! You can use Bulma's lab upstairs to make your
counteracting formula. "
" No! I can't! "
" WHADDA YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T! " Chi-Chi roared as the two saiyajins began making cutesy faces at one another.
" The ingredients I need for the potion cannot be found in a labortory! They're purely in nature, and it takes me at
least 5 hours to collect and mix the appropriate amounts of each item, then I have to make enough to cure them both, and the
high level of the arrows inside them is very hard to cure and requires massive amounts of-- "
" --FIVE HOURS! I DON'T _HAVE_ FIVE HOURS! " Chi-Chi snarled at him, " THEY'LL BE OFF IN HAWAII BY FIVE HOURS! "
" Kak-EEE! "
" Veggie-chan! "
" BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP! " Chi-Chi snapped at the saiyajins.
" Yes my Chi-chan! " Goku smiled, snapping out of it.
" NEVER! " Vegeta exclaimed, trying to get himself out of Chi-Chi's grasp.
Chi-Chi stared at Goku for several seconds, " Go-san? Goku is that still you in there? " she pleaded.
Goku grinned at her, " Still--sorta--kinda....maybe. "
Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " Yes or no! "
" ....I dunno. "
Both Chi-Chi and Vegeta sweatdropped this time.
" MAKE UP YOUR MIND ALREADY! " they both screamed at him.
" You're both angry at me again? " Goku gasped with joy, then frowned as Chi-Chi returned to holding Vegeta back who
started spouting sap at him faster than Goku could teleport, " It was almost back to normal too... " he pouted, then shrieked
as he felt another round of heat overthrow him, ::I gotta get out of here!:: he thought to himself, ::BUT HOW?!:: Goku looked
over at Chi-Chi & Vegeta, who were now in the middle of a heated arguement about who the bigger saiyajin loved more, " Gosh
they look pretty angry. " he observed, then felt the lightbulb of ideas appear above his head, " Angry--THAT'S IT! I gotta
find some way to make them angry! Veggie'll temporarily get back to normal giving me plenty of time to grab Chi-chan and make
a run for it! " he grinned, " I'm so smart! Who says I'm not a genius! "
" GOKU! " Chi-Chi yelled suddenly, turning his attention back to the duo infront of him, " Tell this evil little ouji
how much more you care for me than him! "
" Ohhh, Kakay tell that mean lady that I'm your favorite and you love me more than anybody else! " Vegeta smiled at
him.
Goku smirked in a way only described as 'I'm-up-to-something', " Neither. " he said bluntly.
" WHAT!! " the duo gasped.
Vegeta growled, " SHIELD DOWN! " he ordered, then stomped over to Goku and snapped his fingers, causing the ki rings
holding Goku against the wall to break, " YOU LIAR I OUTTA---WAHH! " Goku slammed into him as he flew by, then screeched to
halt infront of Chi-Chi.
" Come on Chi-Chi! If we hurry we can still make it enough to keep away from Veggie till Cu makes his antidote! "
Goku said cheerfully, then paused as Chi-Chi glared at him.
" WHADDA YOU MEAN I'M NOT YOUR FAVORITE EITHER! " Chi-Chi roared angrily at him, " YOU'RE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THAT
ARROW AREN'T YOU! "
" No! Not fully--yet! " Goku begged her, " I lied about that to get Veggie mad enough to open the shield and-- "
" --oh Kaka-chaaaaan? " Vegeta said in sing-song voice. Goku froze & looked over his shoulder to see the ouji smiling
at him with a large bruise on his cheek, cuertesy of Goku himself.
" AHH! " Goku screamed, then bolted up the stairs, through the front-door, and teleported away.
" GOKU! " Chi-Chi gasped in fright.
" KAKAY! " Vegeta put his hands on his cheeks in equal terror. The two ran up the stairs after him, followed by
Gohan, who was still holding his head in pain from being thrown against the shield.
The duo screeched to a halt infront of the open front door.
" He's...gone... " Vegeta said in a small voice, his bottom lip wobbling; he looked as if he was about to cry.
" He shouldn't be outside with that tainted arrow in his body! Who KNOWS what could happen to him! " Chi-Chi said,
worried, then turned to Vegeta, " IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT YOU KNOW! "
" WHAT?! " Vegeta said, " WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S _MY_ FAULT! " he said, shocked, then gulped, " Oh no! I must've come
on too strong--Kakay HATES me! " his eyes welled up with tears, " I'll just DIE if he hates me....what would I do without
little Kakarrotto-chan! "
" IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT, _YOU_ _IDIOOOOOOOT_! " Chi-Chi screamed in his face, " IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT
_BECAUSE_ YOU HAD TO THROW THAT STUPID ARROW AT HIM! "
" A, a, a, " Vegeta sniffled, " OHHHH! LITTLE KAKAY WHERE _ARE_ YOU! " he bawled up at the ceiling.
" Kaasan, stop it! You forget Vegeta's under the influence of those arrows too. " Gohan explained, trying to calm
her down, " And it was really Toussan's idea to do it to him anyway, so all of this is theoretically his fault, not the other
other way around. "
Chi-Chi grabbed her son by the collar, " Ask me if I care. " she said flatly.
" Uhhh, do you care? "
" NO! " she screamed, then calmed herself, " Besides, I can't punish Goku for this whole ordeal until I find him
anyway. AND IF HE THINKS HE'S STILL GOING TO THE CIRCUS THIS SUNDAY HE'S DEAD WRONG! " she screamed outside in the direction
Goku flew off in.
" Well then I guess _I'LL_ take Kakarrotto-chan to the circus! " Vegeta said cheerfully, " He's just like a little
baby when it comes to having fun, isn't he! "
" Yes. " Chi-Chi agreed, then narrowed her eyes at Vegeta, " _MY_ LITTLE BABY! "
" Hey guys, what happened? " Mirai asked as he & Goten walked over to them.
" Did you fix Toussan and Uncle Veggie yet? " Goten added.
" AWW! IT'S THE TINY KAKA-CLONE! " Vegeta grinned at Goten, then picked him up, " I bet you're gonna look just like
Kakarrotto-chan when you grow up, huh! You sure look like him now! "
" Uncle Veggie's still acting funny. " Goten sighed, then hopped down and went over to Mirai, " I don't think they
did anything to help Uncle Veggie at all! "
" Where did Son-San fly off to? " Mirai said to Chi-Chi, conserned.
" That's just it, we don't know. " Chi-Chi said bitterly, " Vegeta scared the living daylights out of him and he
just took off! "
" Hmm, I propose a contest. " Vegeta smirked, " The first one to find Kaka-chan gets to keep him! "
" WHAT!!! " Chi-Chi gasped, then growled at him, " I'LL NEVER AGREE TO THAT! "
" Just to keep the compition balanced, you can use Kako-spawns 1 and 2, along with Mirai on your team while _I_ hunt
Kakay down myself. " Vegeta said, " I wouldn't want to make it TOO easy for myself. "
" Well, at least he's starting to sound more like Vegeta. " Gohan sweatdropped, " He called us Kako-spawns this time.
That's a good sign. " he chuckled to Goten.
Chi-Chi surveyed her team, " Alright Vegeta, you're on! " she turned back to him, only to discover he was now gone.
She quickly ran outside just in time to see him blast through the sky and disappear, " OOOH! YOU CHEATER! " she turned back
to Gohan and the others, " COME ON! WHAT ARE YOU WATITING FOR! " Chi-Chi screamed as she blasted off herself, followed by
Gohan, Mirai, and Goten.
" You can fly TOO, Kaasan? " Gohan asked her, confused.
Chi-Chi snorted angrily, " In THIS fic I can! "
" Mmmm, this feels much better. " Goku smiled as he layed on his back in the flower field several miles from his
house, " I wonder why I decided to come here. " he wondered as he lay there, then felt another sudden surge of heat, " The
arrow! " he gulped, sitting up, " It's probably starting to kick in by now... " his teeth chattered with fear. Goku stopped
as he felt something land on his head. He looked up to see a squrrel from the tree behind him sitting ontop of his head.
Goku grinned and grabbed it, " SNACK! " he squealed at the squrrel, " I'm starving! "
" EEE! " the squrrel shrieked as it tried to get away. Goku paused a second before tossing the animal in his mouth.
" Gee, you're kinda cute for a snack. " he scratched his head, then tried to eat it a second time, only to stop
again, " I...ya know I'm not really in the mood for squrrel, there ya go. " he chuckled nervously, dropping the small animal,
which ran off up back into the tree, relieved, " What's happening to me! I love TO EAT small woodland creatures! Not love to
hug them! " he said to himself, nervous, " You know what'll make me feel better? Fish! Yeah, fish is GOOOD. " he licked his
lips, " And yummy and delicious and FISHy. " Goku rubbed his hands together, then grinned widely and tossed off his orange
shirt to reveal the blue shirt underneath it, " IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT'S FISH-TIME! " he cheered, then lept
into the river 2 feet away from the field of flowers, " WOOOOO! Oh little fishies! I'm here and ready to chow down! " he said
happily, then gasped with delight as the biggest fish he had ever seen suddenly lept out of the water and did a summersalt
back into the river. Goku pulled it by the tail as it was about to finish re-entering the water. He tossed it onto the ground
and jumped out after it, " OH BOY! I'm gonna have FISH for a snack! " he relished in victory, " Wow, you have to be the
biggest fish in the entire world! " Goku grinned, then pulled a knife and a fork out from behind his back and sneaked towards
the fish. He threw his right arm clutching the fork down towards the fish, grinning wider as it neared the creature.
" YAY! " Goku squealed, then opened his eyes to see his right hand shaking 2 inches above the fish, " NO! " he
screamed in horror, then tried his hardest to plundge his fork into the fish and tear its guts out, " OH GOD NO!! It's, it's
so cute---but BUT IT'S A FISH! IT'S FOOOD! IT'S DELICIOUS! I _HAVE_ TO EAT IT! " he sobbed, then dropped his utensils and
dragged the fish back towards the river, " I can't believe this! " he wailed pitifully, " I can't find it in my heart to
rip open an animal and devour the rich chewy goodness inside its body! NOT EVEN A FISH! " he cursed himself as he pushed the
fish back into the water, which promptly swam away. Goku fell to his knees, " IT'S NOT FAIR! " he put his head in his hands,
then waved sadly to the fish, " Goodbye dinnerrrrAWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! " Goku bawled, then made his way back to
where he had left the top half of gi, " I don't wanna be anybody's valentine if it means I have to even love the animals that
I NORMALLY USE AS A FOOD SOURCE! "
Goku reached down through the flowery meadow to grab his gi top, only to find it now gone, " AHH! You gotta be
kidding me! I've lost my appetite AND half of my gi TOO now! "
" Heeheehee! " a voice giggled from in the tall meadow.
::Oh NO! Someone's here! I don't know if I could handle another PERSON now!:: Goku gulped, " Huh--hello? " he called
out.
" ... "
" HELLO IS SOMEONE THERE! "
" ... "
" PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME! CU! CHI-CHAN IS THAT YOU! " Goku called out, his stomach sobbing in agony, " CHI-CHAN IF
THAT'S YOU THIS ISN'T FUNNY! I'M SORRY ABOUT EARLIER! I TOLD YOU I WAS LYING WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME! "
" ... "
" THIS BETTER NOT BE A JOKE! " he could feel his eyes welling up with tears again, " I'M NOT IN THE MOOD FOR JOKES
RIGHT NOW CHI-CHAN! THAT STUPID ARROW MADE IT SO I FELT SORRY FOR ANY ANIMALS I TRY TO EAT! I'M STARVING AND I WANT FOOD! "
he cried, then yelped as his foot hit a rock and he fell down in the flowers and onto his stomach. He crossed his arms
infront of himself and sobbed into them.
" Heeheehee, don't cry. Meat isn't EVERTHING you know. " the voice from before giggled some more; its sound even
closer.
Goku opened his eyes to find himself staring at his arms. He looked down at his blue t-shirt from the position he
was in. The saiyajin sighed, the t-shirt looked half-empty without his trademark gi overtop of it, " Huh? " he turned in the
diretion of the sound to see Vegeta sitting a couple feet away from him, indian-style. Goku's orange gi top perched happily
over of the ouji's navy training outfit.
" VEGGIE! " he shouted angrily, sitting up himself, " Veggie you give me that shirt back right now! " he yelled as if
the ouji was only a small child.
" What do you need two layers of shirts for anyway? " Vegeta smiled at him, " Besides, I like the blue one underneath
it MUCH BETTER than this silly orange one! " he tugged at the part of the gi he was wearing.
" OOOH! VEGGIE IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! IF YOU HADN'T THROWN THAT ARROW AT ME I NEVER WOULD'VE LOST MY ABILITY TO EAT
MEAT WITHOUT FEELING SORRY FOR THE ANIMAL I'D BE EATING! " Goku screamed, then broke into a sob, " You should've seen how
big that fish was! Oh it was the meatest of the meatest fish in the entire world and it played right into my hands and it
was all mine and I couldn't bring myself to eat it! THIS WAS THE KIND OF FISH _DREAMS_ ARE MADE OF! IT COULD FEED A FAMILY
OF 40 FOR MONTHS! " he wailed, " And I let it go! I can't believe I tossed it back into the river and LET IT GO! I'm so
hungry! I couldn't even eat a SQURREL! "
" Don't worry about it Kaka-chan. " Vegeta said cheerfully, then smirked, " You could always become a Vegetarian. "
he grinned.
Goku glared at him, " Vegeta that HAS to be the cheesiest line I've EVER heard out of your mouth! " he got up and
started to stamp off.
" Don't you want your gi shirt? " Vegeta asked curiously.
" NO! " Goku screamed at the top of his lungs, " NO I DON'T! YOU CAN KEEP IT FOR ALL I CARE! _I'M_ GOING HOME! "
The prince zipped infront of him, " Won't you even wait for THIS? " he held out a freshly cooked cheeseburger.
" *FOOD* *FOOD*! " Goku's stomach squeaked loud enough to sound legible, " *MUST HAVE FOOD*! "
" WE'RE NOT EATING ANYTHING VEGGIE MAKES! " Goku shouted down at his stomach, which whimpered sadly.
" *BUT IT'S FOOD*! "
" Yeah but... " Goku trailed off, his eyes fixating on the cheeseburger. The slightly overcooked burger rested
inbetween two warm sesame-seed buns. The slice of cheese covering the burger dripped down overtop of it. Beneath the burger
and bottom bun sat lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, onions, relish, any and everything you could possibly stuff on a
cheeseburger, " Oh sweet merciful heavens...it's beautiful... " Goku stared at the cheeseburger; a waterfall of drool flowing
out of his mouth and watering the flowers at his feet.
" You said you're hungry didn't you? " Vegeta said slyly, holding the cheeseburger up to him, " So why don't you take
a bite, hmm? "
" BITE YEAH! YEAH YEAH YEAH! " Goku snatched the cheeseburger out of Vegeta's hands, then held it up to his mouth and
stopped, " But--but what about the poor cow they used to make this burger? What about HER! " he felt his eyes begin to water.
" Oh calm down Kakarrotto-chan, she's not ALONE. In fact, Mc.Donalds alone can have up to 1000 cows in each burger! "
Vegeta smiled at him.
" 1---000. " Goku felt his bottom lip wobble, " little COWS! _KILLED_ for my stomach's own amusement? "
" *YEA! COWS*! " his stomach cheered. Goku dropped the burger to the ground.
" Oh, Veggie, I can't do it. " Goku started to sob again, " All those poor COWS! SMASHED INTO _THIS_! " he held up
the patty by itself, " THIS FLIMSY PLASTIC-LIKE OVAL OF _GREASE_!! OH VEH-HEH-GEEEE! " he cried, latching onto the smaller
saiyajin, " Those poor animals! I want to eat them so much! But I caaaahaahaan't! " he buried his face into the ouji's
shoulder.
" Oh Kaka-chan, it'll be alright. " Vegeta hugged back, " I love you. "
" Really Veggie? "
" Really. "
" *BONG*! " the two saiyajins fell to the ground unconsious. Chi-Chi stood behind them grinning, a frying pan in
each hand above where their heads had been.
" HA! THE DOUBLE FRYING PAN ATTACK OF DOOM! " she shouted victoriously.
Gohan, Mirai, and Goten sweatdropped behind her.
" HEY! WHAT ABOUT A LITTLE FANFARE OVER HERE HUH! " Chi-Chi yelled at them.
" Uh, that was great! Yeah! " Mirai clapped nervously.
" Amazing trick Kaasan! I don't know HOW you do it. " Gohan cheered, also slightly nervous.
" Well aren't you boys NICE. " Chi-Chi smiled sweetly, then returned to her aggrivated demeanor, " Now let's get
tweedle dee and tweedle dum here back to Capsule Corp. Cu should have that concoction of his ready by now AND IF HE HASN'T
HE'S GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF _EXPLAINING_ TO DO! "
" Are you sure they're going to be oh-kay in there? " Chi-Chi said, conserned as Cu hooked the two saiyajins into
two seperate large glass containers, both contected to a bottle of blue liquid. Tubes came from the bottle & connected into
the top of the containers.
" It's the fastest, easiest, and most effective way to administer the antidote AND get my arrows out of their bodies
and back in my backpack where they belong! " Cu said as he pressed several buttons on the panel, then paused as Goku & Vegeta
slowly woke up.
" Wuh, wuh happend? " Goku said groggily, then, not realizing where he was started shrieking, " AHH! AHH! LEMMIE OUT!
LEMMIE OUT! SOMEBODY HELP! " he banged on the foggy glass wall of the container. He looked down suddenly to see his whole
body shaking like it was freezing, " Veh-geee! VEGGIE!! VEGGIE WHERE ARE YOU! I NEED YOU I LOVE YOU VEH-GEEE! "
" Eh? " Vegeta sat up in the other container & yawned, then looked around, surprised at his surroundings.
" LITTLE VEGGIE-CHAN HELP MEEEEEE!!!!! "
" Kakay? " Vegeta gasped, his body also starting to shake wildly, " KAKAY! KAKAY HERE I AM KAKARROTTO-CHAN! "
" WHERE'S HERE! " Goku sobbed.
" I DON'T KNOW! " the ouji responded, his hands starting to shake even faster.
" Listen to them, DEE-squsting. " Mirai stuck out his tongue.
" Pathetic. " Chi-Chi grumbled, then turned to Cu, " Can you operate this thing with them awake? "
" Yes. " Cu nodded, " But I must remind you that with them awake that after the arrows are out of their bodies it
could become much more tramatic for them than if they are asleep. At least if they sleep through it they might assume it was
just all a bad dream, but you see-- "
" --OH SHUT UP AND TURN THE STUPID MACHINE ON ALREADY!! " Chi-Chi screamed.
Cu gulped, " Yes Ma'am! " he pulled a lever that caused the blue liquid to pour through the tubes and turning into a
gas as it entered the containers, blinding anyone from being able to see inside to tubes. Sounds of the two saiyajins
screaming in fright echoed from inside the machine. Goten held onto Chi-Chi, frightened himself.
" Oh-kay, and---now. " Cu said, then stopped the machine. The fog inside cleared to reveal two very dazed & confused
saiyajins; along with arrows 10 & 11 lying on the floor of their chambers, " 10! 11! THEY'RE SAFE AND SOUND! " Cu said
happily as he opened the chambers and went to grab his arrows, " Oh they're both in perfect condition too; if I DO say so
myself! " he waddled back to the control panel & placed them in his bag.
Goku & Vegeta wobbled out of the chambers. They both spotted each other & squealed.
" KAKAY! "
" VEGGIE! "
The duo ran to hug one another, " HI VEGGIE! " Goku said in his normal cheery tone of voice, " Gosh it's nice of you
to hug me like this! "
" Mmm... " the ouji smiled, then froze, " WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING! " he shrieked, then pushed Goku away, " YOU!
YOU BIG FAT BAKAYARO! YOU'VE GOTTEN YOUR NASTY KAKO-GERMS ALL OVER MY ROYAL BODY! "
" HEY! " Goku said in defense, " YOU LEAVE MY KAKO-GERMS ALONE THEY NEVER HURT YOU AND---how did we get down here in
Bulma's lab? "
Vegeta paused, " ...I...don't know. "
" ... "
" ... "
The duo's eyes suddenly widened as realization of the past day's memories set in. They stared at each other for a
moment, then let out the loudest, most horrified screams they had ever made.
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! " they screamed in terror at each other, then backed up, " YOU! "
" YOU HUGGED ME! "
" YOU WASHED MY HAIR! "
" YOU HUGGED ME! "
" YOU CALLED ME YOUR 'LITTLE ANGEL'! "
" YOU HUGGED ME! "
" YOU PUT ON PART OF MY GI AND FROLICKED THROUGH THE FLOWERS WITH ME! "
" YOU HUGGED ME! "
" YOU TELEPORTED MY BEDROOM TO YOUR BASEMENT AND LOCKED ME DOWN THERE! "
" YOU HUGGED ME! "
" YOU SERENADED ME! "
" YOU HUGGED ME! "
" YOU MADE ME PLAY STRIP POKER AGAINST YOU! "
" YOU HUGGED ME! "
" YOU USED CU'S ARROWS TO TRAP ME IN YOUR EVIL WHIRL OF VEGGIE OBSESSIVE COMPLUSIVENESS! "
" YOU HUGGED ME! "
" YOU EXCLAIMED TO THE HEAVENS THAT YOU LOVED ME! "
" YOU---I did _what_!? " Vegeta gawked, " ...oh my God I said 'I love you' to Kakarrot! " his face turned green.
The ouji pulled his tongue out of his mouth, " Oh! Ith tainded! By rohal toug eth tainded by wordths uff mush! "
Goku raised an eyebrow, " Come again? "
" I SAID--MY ROYAL TONGUE IS TAINTED BY WORDS OF MUSH! " he shouted furiously at Goku, " THIS IS ALL _YOUR_ FAULT
KAKARROT! "
Goku smirked, " Don't you mean Kakarrotto-chan; Kaka-chan; or maybe even Kakay? "
The ouji's face turned bright red with embrassment, " Oh God NO! " he backed up, humiliated, ::HOW _DARE_ I LET
SUCH MUSH ESCAPE MY TONGUE!:: he turned to see his reflection in a nearby machine and gasped to see the ponytail still in
his hair. He ripped the ponytail-holder out and tossed it to the ground, sending his spiky hair catapulting back into its
usual style.
" YOU--YOU--IDIOT! " Vegeta sputtered.
" I'm sorry about all this Veggie, I just wanted you to be my valentine; and you seemed so angry, and I just wanted
to get you into the spirit of things and I went too far, but I didn't know I went too far you know? " Goku pleaded with the
enraged ouji.
" I--OHHH--KAKARROT I OUTTA--ERRRGH! " Vegeta pulled a crumbled piece of red paper out of his pocket & slammed it
into Goku's hand, " HERE! "
Goku looked down at the paper curiously, then started to unravel it.
" Here's your STUPID 'spirit of things'. " Vegeta crossed his arms stubbornly as the larger saiyajin finished opening
the piece of red paper.
" Careful Goku! It could be a bomb! " Chi-Chi warned. Goku gulped and then flattened the paper out to reveal the
crumbled piece of paper was once in the shape of a heart. He looked down sympathetically at the ouji, who just stood there,
glaring vengefully up at him.
" Roses are red, violets are blue, don't you dare tell anybody, how much I love you. " Goku trailed off, reading the
poem, " Oh Veggie... " he smiled at Vegeta, who sneered at him.
" I felt sorry for you after you left me boiling with contempt upstairs because I told you I didn't want to be your
stupid valentine. " he glared at Goku, who hung his head in guilt. Vegeta sighed, " SO, I decided to make you a card. I was
planning to give it to you after I took my nap and your self-esteem had been pretty much flushed down the toilet. " he
narrowed his eyes, " But that didn't HAPPEN that way, did it? "
" No Veggie. " Goku said quietly, still riddled with guilt.
" And what did you do to me instead Kakarrot? Go on, tell me. " Vegeta prodded him, snarling.
" I had Cu shoot a love arrow at you while you were sleeping so you'd like valentine's day as much as I do. " Goku
answered, staring at the ground.
" Correct. And what have you learned from all this Kakarrot? " Vegeta smirked, nodding.
Goku looked up and broke into a grin, " I LEARNED HOW BADLY YOU REALLY LOVE ME AND YOU LIKE MY HAIR TO SMELL LIKE
STRAWBERRIES! "
" ... " Vegeta sweatdropped, " Kakarrot, come here. " he motioned him over.
" Yes little buddy Veggie! " Goku said happily.
" Kakarrot, turn around. "
" Oh-kay Veggie! " Goku said, doing so.
" Now bend down. " Vegeta said calmly.
" Well...alright. " Goku shrugged.
Vegeta raised his foot and kicked Goku right smack in the butt, sending the other saiyajin leaping upward through the
ceiling wailing in pain. He grinned, " I saw that one in a looneytoon. "
" ERRRRRRRRRRR.... "
Vegeta looked behind him to see Chi-Chi growling angrily at him. He laughed nervously, " Oh, heh-hello. Chi-Chi. "
" VEH-GEE-TAHHH!!! " Chi-Chi snarled, then perked up & shook his hand, " I am SO happy to have the old you back! "
she shocked the ouji by hugging him, then pulled away and said sweetly, " But you still kicked my Goku, and that is wrong. "
Chi-Chi slapped Vegeta back and forth, " TAKE _THAT_ AND _THAT_ AND _THAT_! "
" Now now now, is this ANYWAY for you people to act on Valentine's Day! " Cu said, disqusted, then gulped as Vegeta &
Chi-Chi smirked at him, then at each other.
" GET HIM! " Chi-Chi & Vegeta shouted. Cu shrieked and dashed off, Chi-Chi & Vegeta running after him and tossing ki
blasts at him.
" OUCH! PLEASE *OUCH* STOP! *OUCH*! " Cu cried as he continued to run for his life, " HOW CAN YOU *OUCH* TREAT THE
LORD OF LOVE THIS *OUCH* WAY!!! "
" Very easily! " Chi-Chi smirked, then screeched to a halt, " GET HIM VEGETA! "
The ouji chuckled, then let out a gigantic blast of ki, " FINALLLLLLLLLL FLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSHHH!!! "
" WAHHH! " Cu yelped as the blast engulfed him, frying him to a blackened crisp. The two paused, then burst into
laughter at the sight of him. Cu grumbled, then flew off, " FINE! BE THAT WAY! SEE IF _I_ DO _YOU_ A FAVOR EVER AGAIN! "
Vegeta grinned, then shouted back at him, " SEE THAT YOU _DON'T_! "

THE END
Chuquita: (grinning) Ahh, windowsXP; allowing the writer to continue her stories PAST 30kb. (sighs) Such freedom!
Vegeta: [helping Chu take down the Valentine's Day settings in the Corner] Good riddence! I'm glad THIS story's over.
Chuquita: (shrugs) I dunno, I didn't think it was that bad. I've done worse, I've done better, but this one was ok.
Vegeta: (grumbles) [tosses another heart to the ground] Well _I_ didn't like it. Some reviewers were starting to think it
was getting to be a shounen ai between me and Kakarrot!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Yah, I really didn't intend it to be like that. [tosses a valentine's day snow-globe into her bag of
ornaments] Buuuut I can't control how other people comprehend what I'm writing, ya know. (smiles) But it's good that way cuz
it lets the reader have more of an imagination with it. Besides I'm too lazy to walk everyone through my stories the way
Stephen King does. I'm more of one for dialogue than I am for detail.
Vegeta: (still slightly aggrivated at her) I _STILL_ didn't enjoy all the mush you had in store for me.
Chuquita: (glares at him) HEY! I'm a nice person! I didn't put any kissing in it did I!
Vegeta: (shivers at the thought) No...no you didn't.
Chuquita: (grins) Now that's a good Veggie!
Vegeta: You're talking to me like your dog again.
Chuquita: (blushes; embrassed) Sorry! (*idea*) I should have the little sausage as a guest star one these days.
Vegeta: (raises eyebrow) The 'little sausage'?
Chuquita: One of my many nicknames for my dog!
Vegeta: You're odd, you know that?
Chuquita: Hey, so are you.
Vegeta: ....point. (grins boastfully) But that's what makes me so GREAT AND POWERFUL!
Goku: (w/his cheeks stuffed with chocolate) I GOT RID OF THE REST OF THE VALENTINE'S CANDY GUYS!
Vegeta: (rolls his eyes) Speaking of 'odd', hello again Kakarrot.
Goku: (happily) HI LITTLE VEGGIE!....HEY VEGGIE!
Vegeta: (annoyed) What?
Goku: Guess who are next guest for the Corner is!
Vegeta: (sarcastically) Chu's pet dog.
Goku: (giggles) NO! You silly ouji! It's Vegetto!
Vegeta: (freezes) What?
Goku: You said that already!
Vegeta: (angrily) (to Goku) KAKARROT! HOW CAN WE POSSIBLY BE IN THE NEXT CORNER IF THE GUEST IS _OUR FUSED FORM_!
Chuquita: A brillant plothole deserves a brillant answer! (to Veggie) I had Mirai Trunks use his time machine to go pick him
up from during Vegetto's fight w/Buu. AND since Mirai's just creating another alternate dimension it won't be harming US in
any way.
Vegeta: (confused/amazed) You mean I'm actually going to meet this fused saiyajin mess combined from the genes of me AND
Kakarrot?
Chuquita: (nods) Yup! (cautious) But you gotta be careful, he's mentally unstable.
Goku: (gawks) MENTALLY UNSTABLE?!
Chuquita: ...yeahhh. I mean, come on, what do you THINK the subconsious of a guy fused of a vengeful; paranoid prince and the
perky 'third-class' peasant that's nearly driven him to the brink of insanity's gonna act like?
Goku: Split personalities!
Chuquita: (happily) EXACTLY!....OH! One more thing before we go! (to audiance) Waaaaaaaaay back at the end of "Break a Leg"
I listed 3 possible stories I would write after it, and I chose 2, which ended up being Mustacheo. Since I'm done with this
little Valentine's special the next story I'm starting on is one that got the most requests, which was Goku, Veggie, Mirai,
and Bura's camping trip. Number 1. No title for it yet, see ya when I have one!
Goku: (waves) [still with candy in his mouth] BYE!!
Vegeta: (flatly) Bye.
...
...
...
Vegeta: (furious) (to audiance) LEAVE ALREADY!
Goku & Chu: (giggling as Veggie stomps off) Cya later everybody!
