Quote of the Week: " Here's a song from the heart of my bottom. " -Brak
Lil Veggie's Corner:
Chuquita: YOU GIVE THAT BACK! [racing up the stairs after Veggie; who's holding the B.B.O.A.S in his mitts]
Vegeta: (lauging like a happy little maniac) NEVER!
Chuquita: ERRR! [lundges after him]
Vegeta: AHH! KAKARROT STOP HER!
Chuquita: (angry) I'LL STOP YOU! (yelps as something grabs her from behind) (looks up) Son?
Goku: Yeah?
Chuquita: Son-San what do you think you're doing?
Goku: Sorry Chu-sama, I'm just following orders.
Chuquita: ORDERS? I'M THE HOST! I GIVE THE ORDERS!
Goku: But you gave your hosting duties to Veggie for the day, remember?
Chuquita: ....doh!
Vegeta: (snickering) [standing infront of Chu & Son] MUH-HAHAHAHAHAHA! [flips through the book] Now let's see, what shall I
do to POOR CHU-SAMA. (mockingly) HAHAHAHAHA.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) (suggestion) You could, let me go?
Vegeta: [looks up at her] ...HA! I have a better plan. [stops at one page]
Chuquita: (slightly nervous) What are you gonna do Veggie?
Vegeta: Ahh, perfect. [zaps Chu]
Chuquita: (screams) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH---huh? [finds herself at the bottom of the stairs] (chuckles) Oh, THAT was a
good one, slick.
Vegeta: Oh! Almost forgot! [zaps her again]
[a large square cage is surrounding Chu]
Chuquita: Me and my big mouth.
Vegeta: [walks down the stairs, Goku following him] You thought you were so clever, giving me some power for a change. Well
Chu, here's a news flash, power CORRUPTS. Of course since I've already been corrupted that doesn't really matter, but what
will be will be, right?
Chuquita: (glaring at him) Vedge, this is mutiny!
Vegeta: (smiles) That too. [pats the Big Book of Author spells under his arm] As much as I'd love to stay and watch you
suffer more, Chu, I've got bigger fish to fry.
Goku: (gasp-of-joy) FIIIIISH? Reeeeally?
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) NOT REAL FISH YOU BAKAYARO! (happily) I'm talking about _CHI-CHI_!!
Goku: (nervous) You're not gonna hurt Chi-chan, are you Veggie?
Vegeta: Umm, well, (Son stars at him w/big watery eyes) no, I'm not going to 'hurt' Chi-Chi, I'm going to, (thinks) play with
her. And you can play too? How's that sound?
Chuquita: (grumbling) Not very convincing I can tell ya that much.
Vegeta: OH HUSH UP YOU! [zaps a piece of duct-tape over Chu's mouth] [turns back to Goku] SO? Kaka-chan, what do you say?
Goku: Well, as long as nobody gets hurt, I guess it's oh-kay...
Vegeta: (grins) Great! Let's go! [zips out of the Corner, dragging Goku behind him]
Chuquita: MMPHMMPH!!! [rips the pieces of tape off her mouth] HEY! COME BACK HERE!! [turns to audiance, who just stares at
her blankly] A little help right now would be APPRECIATED. [nods to the camera-man]
Camera-man: [runs over to Chu] Sorry about that. [pulls the bars apart, allowing Chu to get out]
Chuquita: (to camera-man) You know Mirai, you could have stopped them BEFORE they left.
Mirai: That would have ruined the angle completely! After all, filming is an art form and....
Chuquita: [trying to hurry him along] Yeah yeah yeah, "art-form", whatever. [opens the exit door] Now let's hurry and stop
them before Veggie screws up the entire town!
Mirai: [having Chu push him out the door] (still talking) You don't think Toussan would actually be capable of causing such
harm, do you?
Chuquita: (flatly) What do you think?
Mirai: ...I think--we outta find Toussan--VERY FAST.
Chuquita: (cheers) Now you've got the it!
Mirai: (clueless) Got what?
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Nevermind.
Summary: Veggie and Goku have a buddy spat and Goku decides its time to get himself a new little buddy. While taking back all
the presents Goku has given Veggie in the past he comes across Plushie. But on his way to show Bulma, accidently knocks into
her enlarging-ray which causes Plushie to become Veggie-sized. Goku dubs Plushie as his new little buddy which thoroughly
creeps out Vegeta further when Goku proceeds to treat his lost plush-toy as if it really was the ouji. When Vegeta's the
only one who notices Plushie starting to move around on his own, will anyone believe him?
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" AARG! " Goku lept out of his bedroom, dressed up in a pirate-gettup; a black patch over one eye, a bandana on his
head and a rubber peg around each of his legs, " Tis I, Captain Peggi the pirate and me first mate Hooks! " Plushie waddled
out next to him, a patch over each eye and a hook for each hand. His new t-shirt read 'Goku's little buddy' on it.
" Aaag! " Plushie babbled happily.
" Shh, " Goku slapped his hand over Plushie's mouth, " Ye got to be quiet laddie, the Lochness Monster roams these
parts a-thristin for the flesh of man. " he said in a hushed voice, using his fake pirate accent.
" Mmphmmph. " Plushie nodded, enjoying himself.
Goku gasped as a green fin surfaced above the couch in the living room, " Aye! There she be, boy! The great monster
of the deep! "
" Eep! " Plushie put his hands to his mouth, gullibly believeing every word out of Goku's mouth.
" Avast ye monster for Cap'n Peg has come to bag ye and steal thine booty! " Goku pulled out a plastic sword & swung
it around a couple times.
" Ughhhh, Goku I really am not in the mood to do this right now! " the monster groaned. from beneath the couch.
" Aww, come on Chi-chan! You're pooping the whole party for me & Plushie! " Goku whined as Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes
at him, wearing the foam green headress.
" Wah wah dee-dee! " Plushie grinned in agreement.
Chi-Chi sighed, " Fine. What is it you want me to do now. "
" You're the evil monster and Plushie and I are pirates trying to steal the treasure! " Goku said cheerfully,
pointing to the frisbee ontop of the television set.
" A FRISBEE?? " Chi-Chi cocked her head at the object, then yelped as Goku pushed her around the corner, " Goku what
are you doing! "
" You wait here, then when me & Plu-chan come around the corner, you ATTACK US! K? " he said excitedly.
" Oh-kay. " Chi-Chi replied as Goku quickly zipped back around the bend.
" I can sense it laddie, the monster's close by. " Goku said to Plushie, " We've got to be very careful not to
startle her, eh? "
" Eh! " Plushie repeated, then tip-toed towards the frisbee & screamed as something tackled him to the ground, " AHHH
HHH!! GAGOO! " he shouted.
" Arg, I've got you now. " Chi-Chi said in a deep voice.
" AHH! AHHHHHHHYAYAYAYAHHHHH!! " Plushie screamed in a panic, waving his arms and legs about, nearly hooking the
startled Chi-Chi with his hands.
" VEGGIE! " Goku shrieked, rushing to Plushie's aid & quickly taking him from Chi-Chi, who was still shocked, " It's
alright, I'm here now, everything's going to be alright. " he said, comforting Plushie, who calmed down almost completely.
" Goku? " Chi-Chi said, confused, " Did you just call him 'Veggie'? "
" Huh? " Goku looked at her as if she had lost her mind, " This is Plushie, Chi-chan, remember? Even I can see that."
he chuckled.
" I KNOW that's Plushie but YOU came over here to save 'Veggie'. " Chi-Chi put her hands on her hips.
" I did not say that word! " Goku gasped, offended, " I have already completely eliminated that word from my
vocabulary. Besides, he's turned out to be a meanie anyway. "
" You're the one who's turning into a "meanie"! Look at you! You miss Vegeta so badly you're treating Plushie as if
HE was that little ouji! I've seen it ever since you've brought that stuffed frankenstein home! " she exclaimed, then pointed
at Plushie, " LOOK AT THIS SHIRT!! You gave it to Vegeta for his birthday last here and he didn't want it and having Plushie
wear it around the house is just some bizarre way to soothe your ego! "
" NUH-UH! I AM _NOT_ PRETENDING THAT THIS IS VEGGIE AND I DO NOT MISS HIM!!! " Goku denied, then gave Plushie a hug,
" Isn't that right Plu-chan, you're my little buddy now. "
" Gaawah! " Plushie grinned.
" Yeah, you like hugs don't you? " Goku pulled away from him, then frowned, " Veggie liked 'um too, they made him
feel loved and Veggie doesn't handle very well if he doesn't get a constant reminder about that kind of thing... " he
sniffled, then looked down at Plushie w/big watery eyes, " PLUSHIE COME HERE! " Goku grabbed Plushie & squeezed the stuffed
toy tightly, " I love you Plushie you know that right? RIGHT!? " he said with a frantic look on his face, " You know I'm not
the meanie right? It's VEGETA who's the meanie, not me. Not me not me not me! " he sobbed.
Plushie patted him on the back, smiling, " Daboo lalala wahya, Gaagoo. "
" Aww, thank you Plushie! " Goku said happily, beaming again, " I promise I won't say anything else about the MEANIE.
I wouldn't want to upset you you know. "
" THAT'S IT! " Chi-Chi said angrily, then grabbed her car keys, " I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE! Goku we're going for a
ride. " she said, tossing her headress to the ground and getting her coat on.
" Where? " Goku looked confused.
" Capsule Corp. " Chi-Chi said bluntly, opening the door and going outside to start the car up.
" WHAT! We can't go there! That MEANIE lives there! " Goku gasped.
" ERRG. " a vein bulged on the back of Chi-Chi's head. She whipped around, " As much as I hate Vegeta I hate seeing
YOU this way WORSE. And unless you go over there and apologize to each other you're going to boil deep down inside until you
become as stir-crazy as he is and EXPLODE. "
" NO! " Goku said, frightened, " That won't happen to me! I'm not cruel and horrible like Veggie is! "
" No, Goku, you're not. " Chi-Chi said calmly, " But you're getting there! "
Goku cringed.
" Now why don't you just get in the car so we can drive up there, you say you're sorry, he says he's sorry, and I
can go back to hating his guts again, ok? " she said, patting his hand.
" Well... " Goku thought it over, " --It wouldn't be THAT big of an explosion, would it? "
" OH COME ON YOU BIG BABY! "
" *DINGDONG DINGDONG DINGDONG*! " Chi-Chi rapidly pressed the doorbell on the front door of Capsule Corp. Goku
moping beside her.
" I still don't know why we had to leave Plushie in the car. " Goku pouted stubbornly. Plushie watched them from
inside the car, its face smushed against the glass inquizzitively.
" Hello? " Bulma answered the door.
::Thank God:: Goku said in relief, ::It's not HIM yet::
" Oh, hi Bulma. " Chi-Chi said, quickly taking a look around the living room. She then turned her attention back to
her, " Goku's here to APOLOGIZE to Vegeta for being such a meathead. " she cheerfully elbowed Goku in the gut, " Isn't that
RIGHT, dear? "
" You didn't have to hit that hard. " Goku winced, rubbing his belly.
" Oh, he's right over there watching TV. " Bulma signaled to the back of the television set, which was blocking
the entire couch infront of it. She adjusted her goggles, " So, how's, uh, larger than life doin? " Bulma said, slightly
embarassed.
" Plushie? Chi-Chi made me leave him in the car. " Goku pointed to Plushie, who cocked his head from the backseat.
Bulma's jaw dropped to the floor, " He--he--he's MOVING! "
" We know that. " Goku said as if it were typical of the stuffed toy. He smiled, " He can talk now too. I'm trying to
teach him some words; Plushie has the cutest squealy voice! Plu-chan calls me "Gaagoo", isn't the precious! " Goku giggled,
turning bright red.
" ...uh...uh... " Bulma stared at the waving Plushie, dumbfounded.
" Come in the kitchen Bulma, I'll tell you all about it. " Chi-Chi said dryly, heading into the kitchen. Bulma did a
double-take, then followed her, " I'll leave you two alone. " Chi-Chi tilted her head in Goku's direction, then at Vegeta,
who was paying no attention to their presense; his eyes fixated on the TV screen.
Goku looked at the depressed ouji uneasily, then walked over to the couch and sat next to him. His expression turned
to one of surprise when he noticed Vegeta was holding an icepack on the left side of his head to cover a large bump.
" Umm, hi there? " Goku spoke up, " I, uh, I noticed that bruise of yours, are you, you know, oh-kay? "
" Your wife hit me over the head with a plate. " Vegeta said emotionlessly, still staring at the screen, " No, I'm
not oh-kay, it's rather painful. "
" Well, I'm sorry. " Goku said sadly.
" About my bruise? "
" ...about a lot of stuff. " Goku said with his head down.
" I thought you weren't talking to me anymore. " the ouji said bitterly as he flicked the button on his remote &
flipped through a couple channels.
" I'm talking to you now, aren't I? " Goku blinked innocently.
" Oh THERE'S a news flash, thank you Kakarrot, for a second there I thought it was the WALL addressing me. " Vegeta
said with utter sarcasm.
" VEGGIE! "
Vegeta bolted to attention, then for the first time since the Sons had arrived looked in his direction, " Come
again? " he said suspicously.
" Little Veggie forgive me. I didn't mean to argue with you I really didn't! " Goku pleaded with him. Vegeta smiled,
flattered, then, realizing he had the upper hand, turned his back towards Goku & crossed his arms.
" Are you, really? " he said in a disinterested tone of voice, trying to keep his elated grin down to a casual smirk.
" Yes I am I REALLY AM! " Goku clasped his hands together, " Please forgive me Veggie! I was a bad boy, I treated you
worse than Chi-Chi treats you! I even forget what we were arguing about in the first place! " tears welled up in his eyes.
Vegeta's face went blank, he quickly re-composed himself, " That's alright Kakarrot, I don't remember either. "
Goku sweatdropped.
" I suppose I _COULD_ forgive you. " he said, turning back to the larger saiyajin, " If you bow before your prince
and say 'ALL HAIL MY MASTER THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI'! "
Goku laughed, " Aww Veggie that's silly. "
" Do it or I shall NEVER forgive you Kakarrot. " Vegeta snubbed him.
" AHH! VEGGIE NO! " Goku panicked.
" Then get off this couch and bow before me! " Vegeta stood up on the couch.
Goku soon found himself on one knee bending on the carpet. He bowed his head, " 'All-hail-my-master-the-great-and-
-powerful-saiyajin-no-ouji. " he spat. Goku humiliatingly looked up at Vegeta, then sweatdropped to see the ouji smiling down
at him w/big sparkily eyes.
" Aww KakaYYYY! " Vegeta mused, feeling his ego swell, " You are forgiven my Kakarrotto-chan. "
" REALLY Veggie? " Goku got up, excited.
Vegeta nodded.
" YAY! " Goku cheered, then grabbed the prince off of the couch & held Vegeta infront of him, " Little Veggie, I
would be honored if you would consider being my little buddy again? " Goku smiled, " I can see if you want to think about if
first and all bu-- "
" --YES! " Vegeta butted in, a little too quickly.
" Well then, if you're gonna be my little buddy all over again the first thing to do is give you a big hug from your
big buddy! Whadda ya say? "
" I--OOF! " Vegeta yelped as the bigger saiyajin hugged him. He opened his mouth to protest, then paused and hugged
back, " I missed you Kaka-chan, so very much. " he whispered soft enough for Goku to be unable to hear him.
" I missed you too! " Goku sniffled, touched. Vegeta turned a pale green. He sat Vegeta back down on the couch, " You
know what we should do Veggie? We should go play something? My treat! Any game you want I'll play along with it, no questions
asked! "
Vegeta stared at him, astonished, " ANYTHING? "
" Anything, complete obedience for one whole game, your choice! " Goku gave him a thumbs up sign. Ideas were already
beginning to pour into Vegeta's head. An evil grin engulfed his face, then dropped.
" What about Plushie? " Vegeta asked, confused.
" Oh, Plu-chan won't mind, he's in the car anyway. " Goku shrugged.
" But, but you said HE was your little buddy. " the ouji persisted.
" Plushie will understand, Veggie. I bet he'll be happy for you. " he gave the ouji another hug, " Don't you WANT to
be my little buddy Veggie-chan? "
" YES YES OF COURSE I DO! " Vegeta shouted in fear Goku would change his mind again.
" Good. " Goku patted him on the head, " Now let's go have some lunch while you figure out what game we should play
together. "
" Hai Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said happily as he watched Goku leave. The ouji shivered, feeling something watching him.
He peered out the window in the living room to see Plushie still smushed against the backseat window, now a jealous look in
eyes similar to the one Vegeta had on earlier, " Heh-heh. " Vegeta waved nervously at Plushie, then gasped as Plushie bared
his teeth at Vegeta, snarling and steaming up the windows of the car. Frightened, the prince closed the blinds and hurried
off to the kitchen after Goku.
" Here ya go Veggie! " Goku said cheerfully, handing a can of Pepsi to him. The ouji grinned.
" So, you guys made up? " Bulma asked.
" Yup! " the bigger saiyajin said, taking out a bag of straws. He placed one infront of Vegeta's soda can, " Me &
little Veggie are buddies again! And it's all thanks to Chi-chan! "
Chi-Chi groaned and slammed her head down on the table.
" Thank you "Chi-chan". " Vegeta said mockingly.
" You will die an unspeakable death at my hand. " Chi-Chi snarled at the prince in a low voice.
" Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about you. " Vegeta smirked.
" Hmm, you know what I should do? " Goku spoke up.
" No, Kakarrot, what SHOULD you do? " Vegeta said, humoring him while he & Chi-Chi sent death-glares back & forth.
" I should go ask Plushie for my 'little buddy' t-shirt back, you know, since now it technically belongs to Veggie
again. "
" NO! " Vegeta grabbed Goku by the shirt as he got up from his seat, " It's, dangerous out there, I mean, uhh,
Kakarrotto, does Plushie have any teeth? "
Goku looked down at him, puzzled, " Of course not, silly Veggie. Plushie's a plushie, stuffed toys don't have any
teeth. "
The ouji let go & sat back in his chair, " That's what I thought. " he mumbled, then trailed his 'big buddy' back out
into the living room and watched from the window while Goku headed toward the car with Plushie inside it.
" Hello Plu-chan! " Goku smushed his face against the outside of the backseat window. Plushie glanced over at him &
leaped with joy.
" Gaagoo ga wa! " Plushie pressed his hands against the glass, " Wabba woo woo! "
" Yeah, and a 'wabba woo woo' to you too. " Goku opened the car door, " Plushie can I borrow that t-shirt for a
second? "
Plushie looked at him awkwardly. He frowned down at his 'little buddy' shirt & grasped tightly to it.
" Come on Plushie! Please! " Goku begged.
Plushie smiled, took it off and handed it to him, " Ba boo! " he waved to Goku.
" Thanks Plushie, " Goku said, rolling the t-shirt up, " Little Veggie's gonna LOVE this! " he said, running back
inside, leaving a stunned Plushie sitting in the car with his legs hanging out the open door. The stuffed toy scratched its
head for bit, then hopped out of the car & waddled over to the window to see Goku trying to put the t-shirt on a stubborn
Vegeta. The ouji tried wiggling out of Goku's grasp as he plunked the t-shirt overtop of his navy blue one. Vegeta looked at
the shirt in disqust, then yelped as the bigger saiyajin squeezed him with contentment. He propped his head above Goku's
shoulder & froze when he noticed Plushie staring at them through the window. Vegeta quickly glanced at the now open car also
outside. Plushie sniffled, tears running down its chubby cheeks. Vegeta pondered how the doll even could cry, considering he
had buttons for eyes and no tear ducts for them to come out of. He smirked victoriously, then sparked another hint of
jealousy in Plushie as he purposely hugged Goku back to see the reaction from Plushie. The doll's eyes started to glow green
with anger and Vegeta thought that if he didn't know better Plushie was about to transform into a super saiyajin. No such
luck, however. A look of fury covered Plushie's soft features. Vegeta's eyes widened. He then rubbed them and opened his
eyes to discover Plushie had disappeared.
" Whatcha lookin at Veggie? " Goku asked innocently, glancing over at the empty window.
" ... " Vegeta was dumbstruck, " Uh, nuh--nothing. I was just noticing you left your car door...open. " he shivered
at the thought of Plushie running around loose.
" OH! You're right. I better go close it before something bad happens and Chi-chan yells at me! " Goku worriedly
dashed out into the driveway.
" Something already did. " Vegeta muttered, shaken. He watched Goku go out to the car, then looked around the
living room uneasily. He felt something rush behind him, " Ka--Kakarrot? " he looked over his shoulder, then felt something
smash into the back of his head. The ouji fell to the floor as the world around him became engulfed in blackness.
" Uhhhhhh... " Vegeta opened his eyes, his vision blurry as it adjusted to its new surroundings. He sniffed the air
& instantly recognized the small space he was in as the closet on the side of the staircase. He cringed at the smell of old
shoes and moldy jackets. The room was quite larger than they really needed for a closet, and it was near-almost empty. The
ouji looked down to see he was now tied to a chair. Vegeta cursed at himself for letting his guard down, then felt his body
go limp at the sight of two bright green eyes staring at him. Plushie waddled over to the tied-up prince, his arms crossed &
an angry look on his face, ::If the quality of his face had a little more detail to it I could swear that's me over there::
Vegeta thought bitterly, then smirked, ::No WONDER Kakarrot found it so adorable:: he mentally snickered.
" You're a bad person. " the small clear voice said, frustration on pronouncing the words could be heard in its tone,
" You tried to hurt my Daddy. " Plushie leaned towards him, " You are a meanie. "
" 'Meanie'? You pick that one up from Kakarrot too, eh? " Vegeta said, remaining calm, yet still in shock that
Plushie was speaking audiably, " I may have physically hurt him but I didn't cause Kakarrot any emotional pain the way he
did to me. " he explained, then smirked, " But that's over now, meaning you're no longer needed, ya little stuffed reject. "
he snickered.
Plushie shook his head, " Daddy still cares about his Plushie. " he nodded.
" Yes, but he LOVES his little buddy. And, as you can see by the shirt, " Vegeta motioned downward, " the title has
passed hands once again to his rightful owner. Besides, what does he need a plush toy for when he can have the real thing. "
Vegeta boasted.
" You make him cry. " Plushie's eyes glazed over, " You're mean to Daddy and you treat him like he's stupid, but he
is not stupid he is very intelligent. "
Vegeta schoffed, " Kakarrot--intelligent, HA. "
" Vegeta-San you are not going to hurt my Daddy anymore. " Plushie held his hands up, his palms facing Vegeta, " I
will make sure of that. " Vegeta stared at him curiously. Plushie's hands started to glow a bright green.
" What the--WAHHHHHH!!!! " Vegeta screamed as the bright green light engulfed the closet, blinding him. Vegeta felt
his head grow lighter as the room faded. The sight before him came into focus to reveal himself. Vegeta gawked at the sight
and looked down at himself. He was still wearing the 'little buddy' t-shirt along with his training outfit and the figure
infront of him was wearing Plushie's t-shirt-less one.
" How do you like THAT little trick. " Vegeta's voice came out of the figure's mouth, " This'll teach you a lesson
in underestimating other people. "
" ERRR, YOU!! " Vegeta snarled, then froze at his reflection in a small mirror on the wall. The reflection showed
Plushie as the one now tied up and the short saiyajin no ouji smirking down at him, " WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!! " he screamed
at the mirror in horror, then paused again. To his own ears his voice came out in a bunch of squealy garbled noises.
" Aww, don't worry about that. It takes a while to get the hang of pronouncing stuff. No organs you know. " Plushie
said cheerfully, " You'll eventually get the hang of it. " he said.
" O-VEH-GEE!!! " Goku's voice came from outside the closet, " Where are you my sweet little buddy? "
Plushie grinned with excitement, " HERE I AM! " he answered in a sing-song voice, then tilted his head towards
Vegeta, " Sorry Vegeta-San, I'm going to have to leave you here. Someone will find you eventually. " he playfully elbowed the
ouji, " It's not like you're going to starve or anything, I don't have a stomach either. " Plushie giggled, then slipped out
through the closet door & closed it behind him, leaving Vegeta alone in the dark.
He shivered, trying desperately to free himself from the ropes. Unfortuantely Plushie's stuffed body wasn't nearly
strong enough to break through the rope. Vegeta bit his lip, then wailed, " GAGARROD!! GAGARROD AHH AR UUU!!!! "
" There you are! " Goku smiled at Plushie, " Little Veggie I've been looking all over for you. I go outside to close
the door and I come back and *poof* you're gone! "
Vegeta peered at them from the crack in the door, ::Come on Kakarrot! That's not me, YOU can tell THAT!:: he
whimpered.
" Oh, that, I was-- " Plushie started out.
" --hey, where'd your shirt go? " Goku pointed to him.
::HA! THE SHIRT! OF COURSE!:: Vegeta grinned, ::We didn't switch CLOTHES. Book 'em Kakay!::
" I got it messy so I had to put it in the washing machine. " Plushie said, looking up at Goku innocently.
" Aww, that's so sweet of you lil Veggie. Worried you'd hurt my feelings if you got the shirt I gave you dirty? " he
rubbed Plushie on the head, " Well don't give it a second thought little buddy, I don't mind. "
" Thank you Go---uh---uhhh... " Plushie stumbled for the name, " Ka-ka-rowt. "
::RROT! IT'S RROT!!!:: Vegeta snarled from inside his new plush body.
" Veggie you oh-kay? You're talkin weird? " Goku said, conserned.
" Weird?! " Plushie gulped, " No, you must be hallu-cin-ating things. "
" Hmm, " Goku obeserved him suspciously for several seconds. Vegeta pleading from inside the closet for Goku to
discover something, " OH-KAY! " he grinned. Vegeta & Plushie sweatdropped.
" Well why don't we go play, huh? " Plushie said cheerfully, " Is there anything YOU would like to play with me,
Kakarowt? "
" Well, I've always wanted to have a slumber party. " Goku smiled impishly, slightly embarassed.
" Then let's go have one! It'll be so much fun with you, Kakarowt. " Plushie said anxiously.
" REALLY little Veggie? " Goku squeaked out.
" Yeah! " Plushie nodded.
" Oh VEGGIE! " Goku hugged Plushie tightly, then instantly let go, ::Strange, that doesn't feel how it usually feels
when I hug Veggie:: he thought, worried.
::THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S _NOT_ VEGGIE!!:: a panicking voice telepathically cried.
" Veggie? " Goku turned to the closet door, conserned.
" Come on Kakarowt! Let's get going! " Plushie smiled, dragging Goku away from the closet, " If we don't get started
soon we'll both be to sleepy to play any party games! "
" You never liked party games before, Veggie. " Goku blinked.
" I do now! " he replied, then pulled Goku's hand away from the closet doorknob, " And don't open that door, it's
dangerous in there. " Plushie pulled the large saiyajin up the stairs to Vegeta's room.
" Oh its dangerous in here alright. " Vegeta growled in Plushie's garbled voice, " REAL dangerous. "

END OF PART 3!
Chuquita: (smiling) I just wanted to let everybody know that I've found actual Veggie-Plush-toys online. They DO exist!
(big grin) So do Goku plushes! Course, they don't look exactly like the super-deformed versions in my story, but they do look
just like chibi-nized versions of the ones on the show. They're so CUTE! (pouts) But sold out. (perks up) Oh well! I've got
copies of their pictures on my computer so that's good enough proof!
Mirai: Who are talking to?
Chuquita: The audiance.
Mirai: (looks around for any sign of people) Really?
Chuquita: Yup!
Mirai: Where do you think Toussan & Son-San went?
Chuquita: Probably back ton Son's house. Veggie's on a power-boost right now and he's decided to take it out on Chi-Chi.
Seeing as that's where she lives...
Mirai: ...it's only logical.
Chuquita: Right!
Mirai: (changing the subject) So...when did you learn to fly? [both flying towards the Son home]
Chuquita: (smirks) I'm the author, if I decide I know how to fly during this scene then I know how to fly.
Mirai: (sweatdrops) But--
Chuquita: You ask to many questions, you know that, Mirai?
Mirai: (grumbles) That's what Toussan said.
Chuquita: See them yet?
Mirai: (squints his eyes & uses his super-saiyajin-vision) HA! [points out two small figures down below approaching a house]
There they are! I can sense it.
Chuquita: Alright! Let's go Mirai! [flies downward; Mirai follows & lands a couple seconds later]
Vegeta: [knocking on the Son's front door] Heh-heh-heh.
Chi-Chi: [opens the door] Hello? [notices Vegeta in his royalty outfit] Oh, it's YOU. [looks him up & down] (skeptic) Nice
outfit ouji boy.
Vegeta: Nice mask, Onna. I didn't know it was Halloween already.
Chi-Chi: (aggrivated) Oh you're ASKING for it aren't you? [shouts over her shoulder] GOKU! GOKU!!!
Goku: Yeah Chi-chan?
Chi-Chi: [sweatdrops to see Goku behind Vegeta in a similar outfit] Goku what are you wearing?
Goku: (giggles) I'm a prince now too Chi-chan! Just like Veggie. [gives Veggie a squeeze]
Chi-Chi: (glares at Vegeta) Whadda you want?
Vegeta: (innocently) Nothing, nothing at all. I just wanted to show you MY NEW BOOK! [holds out the B.B.O.A.S.]
Chi-Chi: (jaw drops to the floor) AHH! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT!!
Goku: Little Veggie gets to be host for the day. That means all of Chu-sama's spells now work for him today instead of her.
Chi-Chi: (turns pale) You're....kidding??...
Vegeta: (smirks) No, I'm not. [zaps an object into his hand] Here you go Kakarrot. [hands Goku the zapped-up daisy]
Goku: (touched) Aww, Veggie it's beautiful!
Vegeta: (boasting) Evil Onna, I have been gifted for the day with power far surpassing yours. The power of AUTHORITY!!
[lightning crashes in the backround]
Chuquita: [from behind the house] (flatly) I don't like the sound of this.
Vegeta: GOD I LOVE THE SOUND OF THIS! MUAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!
Chi-Chi: (now slightly frightened) What are you..planning to do?
Vegeta: (laughs some more) Isn't it obvious Chi-Chi.
Chi-Chi: (serious) No, it's NOT.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops; then recomposes himself) Onna, thanks to the power of this book, ALL MY 'EVIL' PLANS ARE ABOUT TO COME
TRUE!!!
Chi-Chi: (gawks) You...mean?
Vegeta: (grins) Yes. I do.
Chi-Chi: AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Lil Veggie's Corner:
Chuquita: YOU GIVE THAT BACK! [racing up the stairs after Veggie; who's holding the B.B.O.A.S in his mitts]
Vegeta: (lauging like a happy little maniac) NEVER!
Chuquita: ERRR! [lundges after him]
Vegeta: AHH! KAKARROT STOP HER!
Chuquita: (angry) I'LL STOP YOU! (yelps as something grabs her from behind) (looks up) Son?
Goku: Yeah?
Chuquita: Son-San what do you think you're doing?
Goku: Sorry Chu-sama, I'm just following orders.
Chuquita: ORDERS? I'M THE HOST! I GIVE THE ORDERS!
Goku: But you gave your hosting duties to Veggie for the day, remember?
Chuquita: ....doh!
Vegeta: (snickering) [standing infront of Chu & Son] MUH-HAHAHAHAHAHA! [flips through the book] Now let's see, what shall I

Chuquita: (sweatdrops) (suggestion) You could, let me go?
Vegeta: [looks up at her] ...HA! I have a better plan. [stops at one page]
Chuquita: (slightly nervous) What are you gonna do Veggie?
Vegeta: Ahh, perfect. [zaps Chu]
Chuquita: (screams) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH---huh? [finds herself at the bottom of the stairs] (chuckles) Oh, THAT was a
good one, slick.
Vegeta: Oh! Almost forgot! [zaps her again]
[a large square cage is surrounding Chu]
Chuquita: Me and my big mouth.
Vegeta: [walks down the stairs, Goku following him] You thought you were so clever, giving me some power for a change. Well
Chu, here's a news flash, power CORRUPTS. Of course since I've already been corrupted that doesn't really matter, but what
will be will be, right?
Chuquita: (glaring at him) Vedge, this is mutiny!
Vegeta: (smiles) That too. [pats the Big Book of Author spells under his arm] As much as I'd love to stay and watch you
suffer more, Chu, I've got bigger fish to fry.
Goku: (gasp-of-joy) FIIIIISH? Reeeeally?
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) NOT REAL FISH YOU BAKAYARO! (happily) I'm talking about _CHI-CHI_!!
Goku: (nervous) You're not gonna hurt Chi-chan, are you Veggie?
Vegeta: Umm, well, (Son stars at him w/big watery eyes) no, I'm not going to 'hurt' Chi-Chi, I'm going to, (thinks) play with
her. And you can play too? How's that sound?
Chuquita: (grumbling) Not very convincing I can tell ya that much.
Vegeta: OH HUSH UP YOU! [zaps a piece of duct-tape over Chu's mouth] [turns back to Goku] SO? Kaka-chan, what do you say?
Goku: Well, as long as nobody gets hurt, I guess it's oh-kay...
Vegeta: (grins) Great! Let's go! [zips out of the Corner, dragging Goku behind him]
Chuquita: MMPHMMPH!!! [rips the pieces of tape off her mouth] HEY! COME BACK HERE!! [turns to audiance, who just stares at
her blankly] A little help right now would be APPRECIATED. [nods to the camera-man]
Camera-man: [runs over to Chu] Sorry about that. [pulls the bars apart, allowing Chu to get out]
Chuquita: (to camera-man) You know Mirai, you could have stopped them BEFORE they left.
Mirai: That would have ruined the angle completely! After all, filming is an art form and....
Chuquita: [trying to hurry him along] Yeah yeah yeah, "art-form", whatever. [opens the exit door] Now let's hurry and stop
them before Veggie screws up the entire town!
Mirai: [having Chu push him out the door] (still talking) You don't think Toussan would actually be capable of causing such
harm, do you?
Chuquita: (flatly) What do you think?
Mirai: ...I think--we outta find Toussan--VERY FAST.
Chuquita: (cheers) Now you've got the it!
Mirai: (clueless) Got what?
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Nevermind.
Summary: Veggie and Goku have a buddy spat and Goku decides its time to get himself a new little buddy. While taking back all
the presents Goku has given Veggie in the past he comes across Plushie. But on his way to show Bulma, accidently knocks into
her enlarging-ray which causes Plushie to become Veggie-sized. Goku dubs Plushie as his new little buddy which thoroughly
creeps out Vegeta further when Goku proceeds to treat his lost plush-toy as if it really was the ouji. When Vegeta's the
only one who notices Plushie starting to move around on his own, will anyone believe him?
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" AARG! " Goku lept out of his bedroom, dressed up in a pirate-gettup; a black patch over one eye, a bandana on his
head and a rubber peg around each of his legs, " Tis I, Captain Peggi the pirate and me first mate Hooks! " Plushie waddled
out next to him, a patch over each eye and a hook for each hand. His new t-shirt read 'Goku's little buddy' on it.
" Aaag! " Plushie babbled happily.
" Shh, " Goku slapped his hand over Plushie's mouth, " Ye got to be quiet laddie, the Lochness Monster roams these
parts a-thristin for the flesh of man. " he said in a hushed voice, using his fake pirate accent.
" Mmphmmph. " Plushie nodded, enjoying himself.
Goku gasped as a green fin surfaced above the couch in the living room, " Aye! There she be, boy! The great monster
of the deep! "
" Eep! " Plushie put his hands to his mouth, gullibly believeing every word out of Goku's mouth.
" Avast ye monster for Cap'n Peg has come to bag ye and steal thine booty! " Goku pulled out a plastic sword & swung
it around a couple times.
" Ughhhh, Goku I really am not in the mood to do this right now! " the monster groaned. from beneath the couch.
" Aww, come on Chi-chan! You're pooping the whole party for me & Plushie! " Goku whined as Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes
at him, wearing the foam green headress.
" Wah wah dee-dee! " Plushie grinned in agreement.
Chi-Chi sighed, " Fine. What is it you want me to do now. "
" You're the evil monster and Plushie and I are pirates trying to steal the treasure! " Goku said cheerfully,
pointing to the frisbee ontop of the television set.
" A FRISBEE?? " Chi-Chi cocked her head at the object, then yelped as Goku pushed her around the corner, " Goku what
are you doing! "
" You wait here, then when me & Plu-chan come around the corner, you ATTACK US! K? " he said excitedly.
" Oh-kay. " Chi-Chi replied as Goku quickly zipped back around the bend.
" I can sense it laddie, the monster's close by. " Goku said to Plushie, " We've got to be very careful not to
startle her, eh? "
" Eh! " Plushie repeated, then tip-toed towards the frisbee & screamed as something tackled him to the ground, " AHHH
HHH!! GAGOO! " he shouted.
" Arg, I've got you now. " Chi-Chi said in a deep voice.
" AHH! AHHHHHHHYAYAYAYAHHHHH!! " Plushie screamed in a panic, waving his arms and legs about, nearly hooking the
startled Chi-Chi with his hands.
" VEGGIE! " Goku shrieked, rushing to Plushie's aid & quickly taking him from Chi-Chi, who was still shocked, " It's
alright, I'm here now, everything's going to be alright. " he said, comforting Plushie, who calmed down almost completely.
" Goku? " Chi-Chi said, confused, " Did you just call him 'Veggie'? "
" Huh? " Goku looked at her as if she had lost her mind, " This is Plushie, Chi-chan, remember? Even I can see that."
he chuckled.
" I KNOW that's Plushie but YOU came over here to save 'Veggie'. " Chi-Chi put her hands on her hips.
" I did not say that word! " Goku gasped, offended, " I have already completely eliminated that word from my
vocabulary. Besides, he's turned out to be a meanie anyway. "
" You're the one who's turning into a "meanie"! Look at you! You miss Vegeta so badly you're treating Plushie as if
HE was that little ouji! I've seen it ever since you've brought that stuffed frankenstein home! " she exclaimed, then pointed
at Plushie, " LOOK AT THIS SHIRT!! You gave it to Vegeta for his birthday last here and he didn't want it and having Plushie
wear it around the house is just some bizarre way to soothe your ego! "
" NUH-UH! I AM _NOT_ PRETENDING THAT THIS IS VEGGIE AND I DO NOT MISS HIM!!! " Goku denied, then gave Plushie a hug,
" Isn't that right Plu-chan, you're my little buddy now. "
" Gaawah! " Plushie grinned.
" Yeah, you like hugs don't you? " Goku pulled away from him, then frowned, " Veggie liked 'um too, they made him
feel loved and Veggie doesn't handle very well if he doesn't get a constant reminder about that kind of thing... " he
sniffled, then looked down at Plushie w/big watery eyes, " PLUSHIE COME HERE! " Goku grabbed Plushie & squeezed the stuffed
toy tightly, " I love you Plushie you know that right? RIGHT!? " he said with a frantic look on his face, " You know I'm not
the meanie right? It's VEGETA who's the meanie, not me. Not me not me not me! " he sobbed.
Plushie patted him on the back, smiling, " Daboo lalala wahya, Gaagoo. "
" Aww, thank you Plushie! " Goku said happily, beaming again, " I promise I won't say anything else about the MEANIE.
I wouldn't want to upset you you know. "
" THAT'S IT! " Chi-Chi said angrily, then grabbed her car keys, " I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE! Goku we're going for a
ride. " she said, tossing her headress to the ground and getting her coat on.
" Where? " Goku looked confused.
" Capsule Corp. " Chi-Chi said bluntly, opening the door and going outside to start the car up.
" WHAT! We can't go there! That MEANIE lives there! " Goku gasped.
" ERRG. " a vein bulged on the back of Chi-Chi's head. She whipped around, " As much as I hate Vegeta I hate seeing
YOU this way WORSE. And unless you go over there and apologize to each other you're going to boil deep down inside until you
become as stir-crazy as he is and EXPLODE. "
" NO! " Goku said, frightened, " That won't happen to me! I'm not cruel and horrible like Veggie is! "
" No, Goku, you're not. " Chi-Chi said calmly, " But you're getting there! "
Goku cringed.
" Now why don't you just get in the car so we can drive up there, you say you're sorry, he says he's sorry, and I
can go back to hating his guts again, ok? " she said, patting his hand.
" Well... " Goku thought it over, " --It wouldn't be THAT big of an explosion, would it? "
" OH COME ON YOU BIG BABY! "
" *DINGDONG DINGDONG DINGDONG*! " Chi-Chi rapidly pressed the doorbell on the front door of Capsule Corp. Goku
moping beside her.
" I still don't know why we had to leave Plushie in the car. " Goku pouted stubbornly. Plushie watched them from
inside the car, its face smushed against the glass inquizzitively.
" Hello? " Bulma answered the door.
::Thank God:: Goku said in relief, ::It's not HIM yet::
" Oh, hi Bulma. " Chi-Chi said, quickly taking a look around the living room. She then turned her attention back to
her, " Goku's here to APOLOGIZE to Vegeta for being such a meathead. " she cheerfully elbowed Goku in the gut, " Isn't that
RIGHT, dear? "
" You didn't have to hit that hard. " Goku winced, rubbing his belly.
" Oh, he's right over there watching TV. " Bulma signaled to the back of the television set, which was blocking
the entire couch infront of it. She adjusted her goggles, " So, how's, uh, larger than life doin? " Bulma said, slightly
embarassed.
" Plushie? Chi-Chi made me leave him in the car. " Goku pointed to Plushie, who cocked his head from the backseat.
Bulma's jaw dropped to the floor, " He--he--he's MOVING! "
" We know that. " Goku said as if it were typical of the stuffed toy. He smiled, " He can talk now too. I'm trying to
teach him some words; Plushie has the cutest squealy voice! Plu-chan calls me "Gaagoo", isn't the precious! " Goku giggled,
turning bright red.
" ...uh...uh... " Bulma stared at the waving Plushie, dumbfounded.
" Come in the kitchen Bulma, I'll tell you all about it. " Chi-Chi said dryly, heading into the kitchen. Bulma did a
double-take, then followed her, " I'll leave you two alone. " Chi-Chi tilted her head in Goku's direction, then at Vegeta,
who was paying no attention to their presense; his eyes fixated on the TV screen.
Goku looked at the depressed ouji uneasily, then walked over to the couch and sat next to him. His expression turned
to one of surprise when he noticed Vegeta was holding an icepack on the left side of his head to cover a large bump.
" Umm, hi there? " Goku spoke up, " I, uh, I noticed that bruise of yours, are you, you know, oh-kay? "
" Your wife hit me over the head with a plate. " Vegeta said emotionlessly, still staring at the screen, " No, I'm
not oh-kay, it's rather painful. "
" Well, I'm sorry. " Goku said sadly.
" About my bruise? "
" ...about a lot of stuff. " Goku said with his head down.
" I thought you weren't talking to me anymore. " the ouji said bitterly as he flicked the button on his remote &
flipped through a couple channels.
" I'm talking to you now, aren't I? " Goku blinked innocently.
" Oh THERE'S a news flash, thank you Kakarrot, for a second there I thought it was the WALL addressing me. " Vegeta
said with utter sarcasm.
" VEGGIE! "
Vegeta bolted to attention, then for the first time since the Sons had arrived looked in his direction, " Come
again? " he said suspicously.
" Little Veggie forgive me. I didn't mean to argue with you I really didn't! " Goku pleaded with him. Vegeta smiled,
flattered, then, realizing he had the upper hand, turned his back towards Goku & crossed his arms.
" Are you, really? " he said in a disinterested tone of voice, trying to keep his elated grin down to a casual smirk.
" Yes I am I REALLY AM! " Goku clasped his hands together, " Please forgive me Veggie! I was a bad boy, I treated you
worse than Chi-Chi treats you! I even forget what we were arguing about in the first place! " tears welled up in his eyes.
Vegeta's face went blank, he quickly re-composed himself, " That's alright Kakarrot, I don't remember either. "
Goku sweatdropped.
" I suppose I _COULD_ forgive you. " he said, turning back to the larger saiyajin, " If you bow before your prince
and say 'ALL HAIL MY MASTER THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI'! "
Goku laughed, " Aww Veggie that's silly. "
" Do it or I shall NEVER forgive you Kakarrot. " Vegeta snubbed him.
" AHH! VEGGIE NO! " Goku panicked.
" Then get off this couch and bow before me! " Vegeta stood up on the couch.
Goku soon found himself on one knee bending on the carpet. He bowed his head, " 'All-hail-my-master-the-great-and-
-powerful-saiyajin-no-ouji. " he spat. Goku humiliatingly looked up at Vegeta, then sweatdropped to see the ouji smiling down
at him w/big sparkily eyes.
" Aww KakaYYYY! " Vegeta mused, feeling his ego swell, " You are forgiven my Kakarrotto-chan. "
" REALLY Veggie? " Goku got up, excited.
Vegeta nodded.
" YAY! " Goku cheered, then grabbed the prince off of the couch & held Vegeta infront of him, " Little Veggie, I
would be honored if you would consider being my little buddy again? " Goku smiled, " I can see if you want to think about if
first and all bu-- "
" --YES! " Vegeta butted in, a little too quickly.
" Well then, if you're gonna be my little buddy all over again the first thing to do is give you a big hug from your
big buddy! Whadda ya say? "
" I--OOF! " Vegeta yelped as the bigger saiyajin hugged him. He opened his mouth to protest, then paused and hugged
back, " I missed you Kaka-chan, so very much. " he whispered soft enough for Goku to be unable to hear him.
" I missed you too! " Goku sniffled, touched. Vegeta turned a pale green. He sat Vegeta back down on the couch, " You
know what we should do Veggie? We should go play something? My treat! Any game you want I'll play along with it, no questions
asked! "
Vegeta stared at him, astonished, " ANYTHING? "
" Anything, complete obedience for one whole game, your choice! " Goku gave him a thumbs up sign. Ideas were already
beginning to pour into Vegeta's head. An evil grin engulfed his face, then dropped.
" What about Plushie? " Vegeta asked, confused.
" Oh, Plu-chan won't mind, he's in the car anyway. " Goku shrugged.
" But, but you said HE was your little buddy. " the ouji persisted.
" Plushie will understand, Veggie. I bet he'll be happy for you. " he gave the ouji another hug, " Don't you WANT to
be my little buddy Veggie-chan? "
" YES YES OF COURSE I DO! " Vegeta shouted in fear Goku would change his mind again.
" Good. " Goku patted him on the head, " Now let's go have some lunch while you figure out what game we should play
together. "
" Hai Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said happily as he watched Goku leave. The ouji shivered, feeling something watching him.
He peered out the window in the living room to see Plushie still smushed against the backseat window, now a jealous look in
eyes similar to the one Vegeta had on earlier, " Heh-heh. " Vegeta waved nervously at Plushie, then gasped as Plushie bared
his teeth at Vegeta, snarling and steaming up the windows of the car. Frightened, the prince closed the blinds and hurried
off to the kitchen after Goku.
" Here ya go Veggie! " Goku said cheerfully, handing a can of Pepsi to him. The ouji grinned.
" So, you guys made up? " Bulma asked.
" Yup! " the bigger saiyajin said, taking out a bag of straws. He placed one infront of Vegeta's soda can, " Me &
little Veggie are buddies again! And it's all thanks to Chi-chan! "
Chi-Chi groaned and slammed her head down on the table.
" Thank you "Chi-chan". " Vegeta said mockingly.
" You will die an unspeakable death at my hand. " Chi-Chi snarled at the prince in a low voice.
" Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about you. " Vegeta smirked.
" Hmm, you know what I should do? " Goku spoke up.
" No, Kakarrot, what SHOULD you do? " Vegeta said, humoring him while he & Chi-Chi sent death-glares back & forth.
" I should go ask Plushie for my 'little buddy' t-shirt back, you know, since now it technically belongs to Veggie
again. "
" NO! " Vegeta grabbed Goku by the shirt as he got up from his seat, " It's, dangerous out there, I mean, uhh,
Kakarrotto, does Plushie have any teeth? "
Goku looked down at him, puzzled, " Of course not, silly Veggie. Plushie's a plushie, stuffed toys don't have any
teeth. "
The ouji let go & sat back in his chair, " That's what I thought. " he mumbled, then trailed his 'big buddy' back out
into the living room and watched from the window while Goku headed toward the car with Plushie inside it.
" Hello Plu-chan! " Goku smushed his face against the outside of the backseat window. Plushie glanced over at him &
leaped with joy.
" Gaagoo ga wa! " Plushie pressed his hands against the glass, " Wabba woo woo! "
" Yeah, and a 'wabba woo woo' to you too. " Goku opened the car door, " Plushie can I borrow that t-shirt for a
second? "
Plushie looked at him awkwardly. He frowned down at his 'little buddy' shirt & grasped tightly to it.
" Come on Plushie! Please! " Goku begged.
Plushie smiled, took it off and handed it to him, " Ba boo! " he waved to Goku.
" Thanks Plushie, " Goku said, rolling the t-shirt up, " Little Veggie's gonna LOVE this! " he said, running back
inside, leaving a stunned Plushie sitting in the car with his legs hanging out the open door. The stuffed toy scratched its
head for bit, then hopped out of the car & waddled over to the window to see Goku trying to put the t-shirt on a stubborn
Vegeta. The ouji tried wiggling out of Goku's grasp as he plunked the t-shirt overtop of his navy blue one. Vegeta looked at
the shirt in disqust, then yelped as the bigger saiyajin squeezed him with contentment. He propped his head above Goku's
shoulder & froze when he noticed Plushie staring at them through the window. Vegeta quickly glanced at the now open car also
outside. Plushie sniffled, tears running down its chubby cheeks. Vegeta pondered how the doll even could cry, considering he
had buttons for eyes and no tear ducts for them to come out of. He smirked victoriously, then sparked another hint of
jealousy in Plushie as he purposely hugged Goku back to see the reaction from Plushie. The doll's eyes started to glow green
with anger and Vegeta thought that if he didn't know better Plushie was about to transform into a super saiyajin. No such
luck, however. A look of fury covered Plushie's soft features. Vegeta's eyes widened. He then rubbed them and opened his
eyes to discover Plushie had disappeared.
" Whatcha lookin at Veggie? " Goku asked innocently, glancing over at the empty window.
" ... " Vegeta was dumbstruck, " Uh, nuh--nothing. I was just noticing you left your car door...open. " he shivered
at the thought of Plushie running around loose.
" OH! You're right. I better go close it before something bad happens and Chi-chan yells at me! " Goku worriedly
dashed out into the driveway.
" Something already did. " Vegeta muttered, shaken. He watched Goku go out to the car, then looked around the
living room uneasily. He felt something rush behind him, " Ka--Kakarrot? " he looked over his shoulder, then felt something
smash into the back of his head. The ouji fell to the floor as the world around him became engulfed in blackness.
" Uhhhhhh... " Vegeta opened his eyes, his vision blurry as it adjusted to its new surroundings. He sniffed the air
& instantly recognized the small space he was in as the closet on the side of the staircase. He cringed at the smell of old
shoes and moldy jackets. The room was quite larger than they really needed for a closet, and it was near-almost empty. The
ouji looked down to see he was now tied to a chair. Vegeta cursed at himself for letting his guard down, then felt his body
go limp at the sight of two bright green eyes staring at him. Plushie waddled over to the tied-up prince, his arms crossed &
an angry look on his face, ::If the quality of his face had a little more detail to it I could swear that's me over there::
Vegeta thought bitterly, then smirked, ::No WONDER Kakarrot found it so adorable:: he mentally snickered.
" You're a bad person. " the small clear voice said, frustration on pronouncing the words could be heard in its tone,
" You tried to hurt my Daddy. " Plushie leaned towards him, " You are a meanie. "
" 'Meanie'? You pick that one up from Kakarrot too, eh? " Vegeta said, remaining calm, yet still in shock that
Plushie was speaking audiably, " I may have physically hurt him but I didn't cause Kakarrot any emotional pain the way he
did to me. " he explained, then smirked, " But that's over now, meaning you're no longer needed, ya little stuffed reject. "
he snickered.
Plushie shook his head, " Daddy still cares about his Plushie. " he nodded.
" Yes, but he LOVES his little buddy. And, as you can see by the shirt, " Vegeta motioned downward, " the title has
passed hands once again to his rightful owner. Besides, what does he need a plush toy for when he can have the real thing. "
Vegeta boasted.
" You make him cry. " Plushie's eyes glazed over, " You're mean to Daddy and you treat him like he's stupid, but he
is not stupid he is very intelligent. "
Vegeta schoffed, " Kakarrot--intelligent, HA. "
" Vegeta-San you are not going to hurt my Daddy anymore. " Plushie held his hands up, his palms facing Vegeta, " I
will make sure of that. " Vegeta stared at him curiously. Plushie's hands started to glow a bright green.
" What the--WAHHHHHH!!!! " Vegeta screamed as the bright green light engulfed the closet, blinding him. Vegeta felt
his head grow lighter as the room faded. The sight before him came into focus to reveal himself. Vegeta gawked at the sight
and looked down at himself. He was still wearing the 'little buddy' t-shirt along with his training outfit and the figure
infront of him was wearing Plushie's t-shirt-less one.
" How do you like THAT little trick. " Vegeta's voice came out of the figure's mouth, " This'll teach you a lesson
in underestimating other people. "
" ERRR, YOU!! " Vegeta snarled, then froze at his reflection in a small mirror on the wall. The reflection showed
Plushie as the one now tied up and the short saiyajin no ouji smirking down at him, " WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!! " he screamed
at the mirror in horror, then paused again. To his own ears his voice came out in a bunch of squealy garbled noises.
" Aww, don't worry about that. It takes a while to get the hang of pronouncing stuff. No organs you know. " Plushie
said cheerfully, " You'll eventually get the hang of it. " he said.
" O-VEH-GEE!!! " Goku's voice came from outside the closet, " Where are you my sweet little buddy? "
Plushie grinned with excitement, " HERE I AM! " he answered in a sing-song voice, then tilted his head towards
Vegeta, " Sorry Vegeta-San, I'm going to have to leave you here. Someone will find you eventually. " he playfully elbowed the
ouji, " It's not like you're going to starve or anything, I don't have a stomach either. " Plushie giggled, then slipped out
through the closet door & closed it behind him, leaving Vegeta alone in the dark.
He shivered, trying desperately to free himself from the ropes. Unfortuantely Plushie's stuffed body wasn't nearly
strong enough to break through the rope. Vegeta bit his lip, then wailed, " GAGARROD!! GAGARROD AHH AR UUU!!!! "
" There you are! " Goku smiled at Plushie, " Little Veggie I've been looking all over for you. I go outside to close
the door and I come back and *poof* you're gone! "
Vegeta peered at them from the crack in the door, ::Come on Kakarrot! That's not me, YOU can tell THAT!:: he
whimpered.
" Oh, that, I was-- " Plushie started out.
" --hey, where'd your shirt go? " Goku pointed to him.
::HA! THE SHIRT! OF COURSE!:: Vegeta grinned, ::We didn't switch CLOTHES. Book 'em Kakay!::
" I got it messy so I had to put it in the washing machine. " Plushie said, looking up at Goku innocently.
" Aww, that's so sweet of you lil Veggie. Worried you'd hurt my feelings if you got the shirt I gave you dirty? " he
rubbed Plushie on the head, " Well don't give it a second thought little buddy, I don't mind. "
" Thank you Go---uh---uhhh... " Plushie stumbled for the name, " Ka-ka-rowt. "
::RROT! IT'S RROT!!!:: Vegeta snarled from inside his new plush body.
" Veggie you oh-kay? You're talkin weird? " Goku said, conserned.
" Weird?! " Plushie gulped, " No, you must be hallu-cin-ating things. "
" Hmm, " Goku obeserved him suspciously for several seconds. Vegeta pleading from inside the closet for Goku to
discover something, " OH-KAY! " he grinned. Vegeta & Plushie sweatdropped.
" Well why don't we go play, huh? " Plushie said cheerfully, " Is there anything YOU would like to play with me,
Kakarowt? "
" Well, I've always wanted to have a slumber party. " Goku smiled impishly, slightly embarassed.
" Then let's go have one! It'll be so much fun with you, Kakarowt. " Plushie said anxiously.
" REALLY little Veggie? " Goku squeaked out.
" Yeah! " Plushie nodded.
" Oh VEGGIE! " Goku hugged Plushie tightly, then instantly let go, ::Strange, that doesn't feel how it usually feels
when I hug Veggie:: he thought, worried.
::THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S _NOT_ VEGGIE!!:: a panicking voice telepathically cried.
" Veggie? " Goku turned to the closet door, conserned.
" Come on Kakarowt! Let's get going! " Plushie smiled, dragging Goku away from the closet, " If we don't get started
soon we'll both be to sleepy to play any party games! "
" You never liked party games before, Veggie. " Goku blinked.
" I do now! " he replied, then pulled Goku's hand away from the closet doorknob, " And don't open that door, it's
dangerous in there. " Plushie pulled the large saiyajin up the stairs to Vegeta's room.
" Oh its dangerous in here alright. " Vegeta growled in Plushie's garbled voice, " REAL dangerous. "

END OF PART 3!
Chuquita: (smiling) I just wanted to let everybody know that I've found actual Veggie-Plush-toys online. They DO exist!
(big grin) So do Goku plushes! Course, they don't look exactly like the super-deformed versions in my story, but they do look
just like chibi-nized versions of the ones on the show. They're so CUTE! (pouts) But sold out. (perks up) Oh well! I've got
copies of their pictures on my computer so that's good enough proof!
Mirai: Who are talking to?
Chuquita: The audiance.
Mirai: (looks around for any sign of people) Really?
Chuquita: Yup!
Mirai: Where do you think Toussan & Son-San went?
Chuquita: Probably back ton Son's house. Veggie's on a power-boost right now and he's decided to take it out on Chi-Chi.
Seeing as that's where she lives...
Mirai: ...it's only logical.
Chuquita: Right!
Mirai: (changing the subject) So...when did you learn to fly? [both flying towards the Son home]
Chuquita: (smirks) I'm the author, if I decide I know how to fly during this scene then I know how to fly.
Mirai: (sweatdrops) But--
Chuquita: You ask to many questions, you know that, Mirai?
Mirai: (grumbles) That's what Toussan said.
Chuquita: See them yet?
Mirai: (squints his eyes & uses his super-saiyajin-vision) HA! [points out two small figures down below approaching a house]
There they are! I can sense it.
Chuquita: Alright! Let's go Mirai! [flies downward; Mirai follows & lands a couple seconds later]
Vegeta: [knocking on the Son's front door] Heh-heh-heh.
Chi-Chi: [opens the door] Hello? [notices Vegeta in his royalty outfit] Oh, it's YOU. [looks him up & down] (skeptic) Nice
outfit ouji boy.
Vegeta: Nice mask, Onna. I didn't know it was Halloween already.
Chi-Chi: (aggrivated) Oh you're ASKING for it aren't you? [shouts over her shoulder] GOKU! GOKU!!!
Goku: Yeah Chi-chan?
Chi-Chi: [sweatdrops to see Goku behind Vegeta in a similar outfit] Goku what are you wearing?
Goku: (giggles) I'm a prince now too Chi-chan! Just like Veggie. [gives Veggie a squeeze]
Chi-Chi: (glares at Vegeta) Whadda you want?
Vegeta: (innocently) Nothing, nothing at all. I just wanted to show you MY NEW BOOK! [holds out the B.B.O.A.S.]
Chi-Chi: (jaw drops to the floor) AHH! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT!!
Goku: Little Veggie gets to be host for the day. That means all of Chu-sama's spells now work for him today instead of her.
Chi-Chi: (turns pale) You're....kidding??...
Vegeta: (smirks) No, I'm not. [zaps an object into his hand] Here you go Kakarrot. [hands Goku the zapped-up daisy]
Goku: (touched) Aww, Veggie it's beautiful!
Vegeta: (boasting) Evil Onna, I have been gifted for the day with power far surpassing yours. The power of AUTHORITY!!
[lightning crashes in the backround]
Chuquita: [from behind the house] (flatly) I don't like the sound of this.
Vegeta: GOD I LOVE THE SOUND OF THIS! MUAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!
Chi-Chi: (now slightly frightened) What are you..planning to do?
Vegeta: (laughs some more) Isn't it obvious Chi-Chi.
Chi-Chi: (serious) No, it's NOT.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops; then recomposes himself) Onna, thanks to the power of this book, ALL MY 'EVIL' PLANS ARE ABOUT TO COME
TRUE!!!
Chi-Chi: (gawks) You...mean?
Vegeta: (grins) Yes. I do.
Chi-Chi: AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
