Quote of the Week: "Now that's fancy! They should call you Spongebob Fancypants! " -Patrick 'from Spongebob Squarepants'
Lil Veggie's Corner:
Chuquita: [hiding behind the Son house w/Mirai] You know, I'm starting to think this wasn't such a good idea to let Veggie
host the Corner for a day.
Mirai: (sighs) He's an egomaniac--
Chuquita: (also sighs) --but he's our egomaniac.
Mirai: Indeed....so what do we do now.
Chuquita: There's nothing we CAN do. Either we wait for Veggie's timeslot to be up or we find a way to steal my "Big Book of
Author Spells" back.
Mirai: How are we gonna do THAT?
Chuquita: Beats me.
Vegeta: [infront of the house w/Son & Chi] (musing) Ahh to think all my dreams are about to become a reality. And all thanks
to this lovely little book. [snickers] [pats the book on its cover]
Chi-Chi: Err...rr..[grabs Goku by the collar] (whispering) Goku, on my signal we charge him.
Goku: But Chi-chan, I can't do that to Veggie. That would be mutiny!
Chi-Chi: (gawks) WHAT?!
Goku: Veggie's the King and I'm the Prince. Co-hosts can't just go and attack their host!
Chi-Chi: (aggrivated) And why NOT!
Goku: (nervous) Well I--I can't, I--LOOK AT ALL THE PRETTY JEWELRY VEGGIE GAVE ME! (sobs) [points to his crown, multiple
rings, and large red & white cape] And the cape. I LOVE THIS CAPE! [hugs it]
Chi-Chi: (whispering louder) That doesn't matter Goku! What matters is that that EVIL little monster is going to brainwash
us if we don't do something FAST!
Goku: (repeats) "Evil"? [glances over at Veggie, who looks up at him innocently] (smiles) Awww, Veggie's so cute!
Chi-Chi: (snorts) Cute my behind.
Vegeta: [zaps her, causing her mouth to disappear]
Chi-Chi: (frantically searching for her mouth) MMPH MMMPH!!
Vegeta: (to Son) Don't listen to her Kaka-chan! As your King AND host of this Corner, I'm ONLY trying to look out for your
best interests and keep you as comfortable as humanly possible.
Goku: (watching Chi, worried) What did you do to Chi-chan's mouth!
Vegeta: (to himself) Something that should have been done a LONG time ago.
Goku: (frightened) But little Veggie, what if she can't BREATHE!
Vegeta: That's why she has a nose, baka.
Goku: (glares) Ooh, you better put Chi-chan's mouth back on Veggie or I'll give you such a pinch! (shakes his finger at him)
Vegeta: [folds his arms] Fine. For YOU, Kakarrot. [zaps Chi-Chi's mouth back on, then zaps her again putting her in mindless
zombie mode] There, MUCH better.
Goku: (inspecting her) Chi-chan?
Vegeta: And another thing Kakarrot, your house is too small. Not NEARLY fit for royalty such as ourselves.
Goku: (protests) But I LIKE my home the way it is.
Vegeta: [zaps the house, changing it into a gigantic glistening castle]
Goku: (eyes widen) Wow, it's be-uuu-tea-ful.
Vegeta: (snaps his fingers, causing the draw bridge to drop) Come Kakarrot, (to Chi-Chi) come, SERVANT, let us enter our
new-found life of POWER and PAMPERING. [enters, followed by Son, who is in awe at the castle and Chi-Chi, who is still in
a deep hypnosis]
Chuquita: (shouts) (to Mirai) NOW!
[both dash inside after Veggie & gang just as the drawbridge closes]
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?
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" WEEEE! Veggie this is so great! You've never let me bounce on your bed before! " Goku said happily as he continued
to jump up and down on the ouji's bed.
::No wonder you left him:: Plushie thought in disqust, " You are welcome Kakarowt. " he said warmly.
" Boy I'm glad I left that extra pair of pajamas in the trunk. " Goku smiled, " I can't believe I'm actually going
to have a slumber party with Veggie this is so exciting! " he cheered.
Plushie ravanged through Vegeta's closet in search of pajamas, " Doesn't that ouji wear ANY loose clothing! " he
mumbled, moving several pieces of saiyajin armor out of the way.
" Little Veggie why are you looking in there? You know all your pj's are in the drawers. " Goku said, confused.
Plushie froze.
" Of, of course. I knew that. " Plushie laughed nervously, then walked over to the bureau and started to search
through the pajama drawer. He smiled and pulled out a pair of white pajamas with little carrots all over them.
" Gosh, I haven't seen those before. " Goku grinned, pleased at the sight. Plushie fliped the pajamas over to see
the word carrot written on the back of the top half. Someone had used a marker to cross a line down the rounded part of the
c and added two letters to the front. The new, doctored word spelled Kakarrot. Goku sweatdropped, " Wow, I don't know whether
to be flattered or frightened. "
Plushie also sweatdropped, " Me neither. " he looked up, " Kakarowt, will you help me get my pajamas on? " he asked.
Goku looked at him oddly, " You don't need any help getting your pj's on Veggie. "
" But, but you helped Plushie get his pajamas on the other night, can't you help me too? " Plushie pleaded.
" I only help Plushie with his pj's because he's not strong enough to get them on by himself. Besides he has no
fingers, " Goku wiggled his own in demonstration, " How's he supposed to button himself up without any fingers. "
Plushie looked down at Vegeta's fingers & moved them slightly, " This is gonna take some getting used to. " he said,
staring down at the fingers.
" What's that Veggie? "
Plushie bolted to attention, " Nothin. " he replied, " Are you SURE you can't help me? " Plushie said sadly.
" No. " Goku giggled, then stopped, " That would be weird. "
Plushie sighed, " I'm starting to regret switching bodies in the first place. " he felt a strange, painful rumbling
in his body, " Ohhhh, what's that! "
" You probably just have to go to the bathroom, that's all. " Goku said cheerfully. Plushie turned a pale color.
" Buh--bathroom? " he gawked. ::Dolls don't go to the bathroom. I don't know how to go to the bathroom!:: Plushie
gulped, " Uhh, Go--err, Kakarowt? "
" Yeah? "
" Do you think..you could help me...go to the bathroom? " Plushie smiled, embarassed.
Goku stared at him blankly, " ...you're, kidding right? " he spoke up, starting to get conserned about his little
buddy.
" YOU WOULD HELP PLUSHIE THOUGH IF HE HAD TO GO THE BATHROOM!! " Plushie sobbed.
" I would never have to, he's a stuffed toy. He doesn't go potty. " Goku said, then narrowed his eyes at Plushie,
who sweatdropped.
" What? What is it? " Plushie said, uneasy.
" You look different. " Goku answered, baffled.
" Different? "
" Yeah, I can't put my finger on it. It's just that, I've known you for so long Veggie, and after we fused that one
time against Buu, I gained a whole wealth of knowledge about you that's locked up in that little Veggie-brain of yours. And
right now your whole mannersism is off. It's almost like you're not really in there. Like that's just a shell and there's
a completely different soul inside it that doesn't belong inside it. Like the person I'm looking at right now isn't Veggie
at all. " Goku watched the now paranoia-filled Plushie.
::He's onto me!:: Plushie thought with fright.
" But that's just silly of me to say that. " Goku grinned at him, " I know my little Veggie and he's the best lil
ouji in the whole wide world and I love him! " he giggled. Plushie smiled back at him. Goku was taken aback. He nervously
put his hand on Plushie's forehead.
" What's wrong now? " Plushie asked.
" Your face isn't red. " Goku said plainly.
" Is it...supposed to be? " Plushie cocked an eyebrow.
" Well, normally it.... "
" --you know what how about we get our things ready for the slumber party oh-kay? You know, like balloons and
streamers and stuff like that? " Plushie interupted.
" I get to bring streamers? Really? " Goku excitedly got up, " Oh this is gonna be GREAT! I know exactly where you
put them when you took them away from me last time! " he opened the door to Vegeta's room & ran downstairs, " Be right back
Veggie! "
Plushie sweatdropped, " Take your time! PLEASE. "
" MWAH WAH AHHHHHHH! " Vegeta wailed from inside the closet. He had been trapped in there for nearly 2 hours now,
personally unaware of how long it had been. His stomach no longer able to tell him if it was near dinnertime or not. The
ouji was tired of crying and sick of the pathetic attempts Plushie's body performed on the ropes.
" Hmm, I could have sworn I left it around here somewhere. " Goku's voice echoed from outside the closet.
" KAKA RROOOO! " he screamed behind the door.
" That's right! " Goku snapped his fingers, " Veggie locked them in the closet where I couldn't reach them. " he
opened the door, then gasped to see what he thought was Plushie tied up to a chair. Vegeta looked at Goku with relief,
" PLUSHIE! " Goku gasped, then instantly ran over and untied Vegeta, " Oh Plushie what happened to you! " he cried, picking
the ouji up and hugging him close, " I'm so sorry, how did you get in here. Veggie didn't tie you up did he? Or Chi-chan? "
he held Vegeta away from him & sweatdropped to see the doll's face glowing bright red, " Plushie you runnin a fever? "
Vegeta shook the feeling off, then smacked Goku across the face, " KAKA RROOOO!!! GA WA POO POO IN EER!! "
" Huh? " Goku set him down, " Did you just try to say, Kakarrot? "
" AI! KAKA RROO! EH EEE BEH GGE A! POO POO WA MEH UU EER EH EEE OOK I BODY!!! " Vegeta cried out in Plushie's voice.
" Body? What about your body? " Goku blinked.
Vegeta grabbed him by the hand & dragged him out of the room, or at least, tried to. Goku giggled at his attempt &
carried the ouji out.
" Now Plushie, " he set him down infront of a nearby tabletop filled with pictures, " What is it you wanted to tell
me, and just say it slower this time. You have to sound words out before you can say them correctly. " Goku spoke to him as
if he were mentally inept. Vegeta growled at this and looked around before spotting the pictures. He found one of himself &
took it off the shelf.
" Muhee. " he pointed at the picture, then pointed to himself, " No. " Vegeta paused, hoping Goku would understand.
" Yeah, that's a picture of Vegeta. He's my little buddy. " Goku smiled.
" ME! ME! " Vegeta pronounced more clearly.
" That's not your, you're Plushie. Vegeta's upstairs in his room getting ready for our slumber party. "
" HE GODA HABA SUMBE PA DEE WIT UU N MII BODY!!! " he screamed, enraged.
::Plushie's mad. Plushie's NEVER mad:: Goku thought, then noticed the 'Goku's little buddy' shirt Vegeta was wearing,
" Say, did Vegeta tie you up in the closet because you stole his shirt from him? " Goku concluded, then looked suspicously,
" But Vegeta said that he got it stained and put it in the washer. That doesn't make any sense. "
" Goku! We have to get going-- " Chi-Chi entered the room. Vegeta grinned, then zipped over to her.
" KAKA RROO! EH TI-TI! GA BA DOO WAHH!! " he shook her arm, talking to Goku.
Chi-Chi sniffed the air, " Ehhh, that STENCH. " she looked down at Vegeta, " You smell like... " she paused and
observed him closely, " Goku...this is not Plushie... "
Vegeta smirked. Somebody had recognized him, even though it WAS the one person who couldn't wait to beat him into
the ground.
" Of course it's Plushie, who else could it be! " Goku laughed.
Chi-Chi glared in a serious manner at Vegeta, who returned the expression, " Ouji? "
" Onna. " it replied, still smirking.
" What's going on in here. "
" That's what I'd like to know. " Vegeta replied. Plushie poked his head out of Vegeta's bedroom.
" Kakarowt! Come back up, I found the balloons and I'm all ready for the slumber party now. " Plushie smiled,
excited.
" SLUMBER PARTY!? " she gagged, " YOU'RE HAVING A _SLUMBER PARTY_!! " Chi-Chi screamed at Goku.
" It was my idea Chi-chan. " Goku looked down at the floor, " Please let me sleep over with Veggie tonight? "
Chi-Chi looked down at Vegeta & chuckled, " Of course you may, Goku. As long as you keep 'Plushie' as far away from
the slumber party as possible. "
" Aww, don't worry about Plushie, Chi-chan. Me-n-Veggie'll take good care of him. "
" KAKAROWT!! " Plushie called from upstairs.
" COMING LITTLE VEGGIE! " Goku ran up to Vegeta's bedroom.
" 'Kakarowt'? " Chi-Chi said with skeptism.
" Hmm. " Vegeta folded his arms against his chest, frustrated.
" I thought something sounded fishy just now. " Chi-Chi nodded. Vegeta glared up at her, " You're the one trapped in
there now, aren't you Vegeta? "
He paused, then looked up at her, depressed.
" That franken-doll stole your body from you somehow, didn't he? " she chuckled, then stopped at the hurt look on
Vegeta's face, " Well, " Chi-Chi tried not to allow any sympathy from the ouji in her voice, " Goodluck in getting it back.
Goku should figure out who's who sooner or later, the hard part will probably be trying to fix whatever it is Plushie did to
you. Personally, I'd prefer sooner. I've got a sinking feeling that Plushie would be no fun to fight against. "
" 'fight'? " an idea clicked in Vegeta's mind. He grinned evilly at her, " ank uuu, Chi-Chi. "
" Wow, that's an...interesting sleeping outfit Kakarowt. " Plushie sweatdropped as Goku came out of the small
bathroom linked to Vegeta's room wearing a pair of white bunny footie pajamas with a bunny-ears hood over his head.
Goku grinned, " Thanks Veggie! I figured since you're bein a carrot I could be a bunny. It's a theme, get it? " he
said, proud of himself.
" Theme? " Plushie thought for a moment, " OH! I get it now! Very creative of you, Kakarowt! " Plushie said,
impressed.
" Aww, really little Veggie? " Goku giggled, happy to recieve a compliment from who he thought was the ouji.
" Yeah, it's nice. " Plushie smiled.
" ...say Veggie? "
" What? "
" Why are you wearing your pajama shirt backwards? "
Plushie looked down at his shirt, then scratched his head, " Backwards? " he said as if it were a foreign dish.
" You sure you're feelin alright to be slumber partying, Veggie? " Goku asked.
" Huh? Of course I'm alright. I, I didn't know it was-- " he peeked at the tag on the shirt, " --backwards..oh, it's
on the wrong way. " Plushie took the shirt off, then flipped it around & put it on correctly, " There, better. "
" *KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK* "
" Kakarowt will you get that? " Plushie said, fiddling with the tag on his shirt.
" Oh-kay Veggie! " Goku saluted him, then opened the door to see a stuffed figure staring up at him, " IT'S
PLUSHIE! " he squealed with big sparkily eyes.
Vegeta stared at the large saiyajin in the bunny pajamas before him, shocked. A small trail of drool hanging out the
side of his mouth and his face now glowing red enough to power the whole house, " ... "
" How ARE you Plu-chan? " Goku clasped his hands togther with excitement. Vegeta fainted. Goku sweatdropped,
" Plushie? Plu-sheeee? "
" Ooh ooh! Hold on! I think he's coming to! " a high-pitched voice said in the darkness. Vegeta opened his eyes to
see two blurry figures hovering over him. He sleepily sat up to see Goku and Plushie in his body staring at him, " There's
my little baby! " Goku gave the ouji a soft hug, " Oh Plushie you got your Daddy so scared you know that? " he rubbed the
doll's hair, " I'm so glad you're oh-kay. " he sniffled, taking his bunny-ear hood off, " You ARE oh-kay, aren't you my lil
Plu-chan-chan? " Goku asked innocently.
" I don't think....I'll EVER recover...from this one... " Vegeta sat on the floor, stunned.
" Say Veggie, can Plu-chan play slumber party with us? " Goku looked up at Plushie.
" NO! I, uh, what if he says something, you know, inappropriate. "
Goku glanced over at Vegeta, who was looking his own stuffed hands over, still shaking from his recent bout as
'Plushie', " I don't think Plushie'd say something mean. He can't say anything at all. "
" Not yet. " Plushie grumbled, the image of Vegeta choking Goku from before flashed through his mind. He watched Goku
with sympathy, " And for your sake Go-sama, I hope he never does. "
" So, Plushie? " Goku walked over to Vegeta, who froze with fear, " Wanna come help me pick out some jammies for you
to wear at the slumber party? "
" damaas? " the tiny voice came out of the ouji's mouth.
" Yeah, jammies. " Goku grinned, tugging at his own pajamas, " Like the ones Veggie let you borrow the other night. "
Vegeta sighed with relief, ::Well, at least I'll be wearing my own clothes, that's one step back to retrieving my
identity, right?:: he followed Goku to the bureau and opened his pajama drawer. Goku's eyes widened in amazement.
" Hey Plushie, how did YOU know that's where Veggie keeps his pj's? " Goku gawked. Plushie started sweating
nervously.
" AH AB EDGEE!!! " Vegeta stomped his foot angrily.
" Here, let me find some for you. " Goku offered, smushing Vegeta out of the way, " Now what would look pretty on my
little Plu-chan? Hmm... " he paused, then pulled a pair of silk pink underwear out of the bottom of the drawer, " Imported
from France, " Goku read the tag, then grinned cheesily, " Ooh la la. "
" AHHH!!! " Vegeta snagged the underwear out of Goku's hands in embarassment, " YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SEE THAT!
YOU'RE _NEVER_ SUPPOSED TO SEE THAT!!! " Unfortunately for Vegeta the only thing coming out of his mouth was an enraged mix
of babbling.
" Nice undies Veggie. " Goku snickered at Plushie, " They're probably, *chuckle* very becoming on you. " he tried to
push back his laughter.
Plushie sweatdropped, " I'm starting to think I should've switched bodies with that screaming woman Chi-Chi instead."
he grumbled, " No matter, I shall prod on. " he turned to Goku, " You know, those really aren't MY undies. "
::Yes, they're MINE:: Vegeta thought in resentment, then noticed a pair of blue pj's with the front of the top
reading 'The Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ouji'. He grinned, remembering what the shirts back read: Vegeta. The ouji smiled
and held the shirt & pants up infront of himself. Vegeta pointed to the lettering of the shirt, then to his own body.
" Aww, Plushie thinks he's you. " Goku giggled, " Isn't that cute. "
" Heh-heh, cute, right. " Plushie laughed nervously.
" Come on Plushie, let's go into the bathroom over here and I'll help you get your pj's on. " Goku pushed Vegeta
toward the bathroom. The ouji shrieked and screeched to a halt.
" THERE IS _NO_ _WAY_ I AM LETTING KAKARROT DRESS ME!!! " he screamed in Plushie's voice. He turned to Goku, " YOU
BAKAYARO! I GIVE YOU THE MOST OBVIOUS CLUES AND YOU MISS IT COMPLETELY! YOU MENTALLY INEPT PEASANT! I OUTTA--hey! " Goku
lifted Vegeta off the ground and carried him into the bathroom, closing the door behind them. Plushie stared at the door,
worried for Goku's safety.
" Be careful Daddy. "
" Sit still! I SAID SIT STILL!!! " Goku tried desperately to keep Vegeta from getting off the toilet seat cover. He
grabbed both the ouji's boots and pulled them off, " There. " the saiyajin smiled, setting the boots on the floor. Vegeta
looked down at Plushie's stubby so-called feet, which looked more like knees than feet. He grimaced.
Goku took the 'little buddy' shirt from him and stared at it, puzzled, " You know, it doesn't add up Plushie. "
Vegeta looked up at him curiously.
" Veggie said he put the shirt in the washer, but you were wearing it when I found you in the closet. And how did
you get in there? Who tied you up? I can understand if Veggie did it out of jealousy, but the whole t-shirt thing throws that
whole theory off track. "
Vegeta smirked, the larger saiyajin was finally saying something intellegent.
" And Veggie didn't hug like Veggie, and when I hugged you it felt like Veggie, it's almost like you've been switched
or something... " Goku trailed off. Vegeta nodded in agreement, " ...NAH! That only happens in sci-fi movies and homemade
fanfiction stories. " Vegeta sweatdropped, " Now lift your little arms up. Lift 'um up for Daddy. " Goku had switched back to
babying mode. Vegeta grabbed the top from Goku & put it on by himself.
" Wow, way to go Plushie. " Goku said, amazed, " But you still gotta let me help you with your bottoms. " he
playfully held up the pajama pants. Vegeta stared at him for a moment, then opened the bathroom door & kicked Goku out, only
to slam it shut a second later, " Plushie? " Goku turned to the door.
A few minutes later Vegeta emerged from the bathroom, his pajamas on perfectly. He passed by Plushie on his way to
Goku, " How do you creatures reproduce? " he remarked in babble. Plushie sent him a death-glare.
" Plushie what a wonderful job you did! " Goku clapped for him. Vegeta bowed to the applause. Plushie felt a hint of
jealousy rising up into him again, " ...OOH! You know what would be REALLY FUN? "
" No...what? " Plushie blinked. The large saiyajin burst into hysterical giggles and Vegeta gulped.
Goku sat up, " Well... "
" Oh Veggie look how pretty you are! " Goku awed at the braid he had just put in the ouji's hair. Vegeta had sat
there on the couch, repulsed for 2 hours he had sat watching Kakarrot screw up his hair, which was now temporarily Plushie's.
" It's very nice, thank you Kakarowt. " Plushie replied. Goku seemed distraut at his little buddy's recent politeness
. He broke into a grin.
" Well now you have a French braid to go with your French undies! " he chirped. Plushie groaned & Vegeta put his
hands to his face in humiliation, " Bura taught me how to make those. " Goku turned to Vegeta, " So, how about you little
Plu-chan? Do YOU want me to play hairdresser with you too? "
" You mean hairMESSER. " Vegeta snorted, then felt something tap him on the shoulder.
" Aww, come on Plushie! " the ouji yelped to see how fast Goku had teleported behind him, " Lemmie DAZZLE you. " he
wiggled his fingers in suspense.
" O! " Vegeta shook his head.
" Come on, you're hair'll look so beautiful. " Goku teased. The ouji let out a scream.
" KAKARROTTO!!!! " Vegeta screamed at the top his lungs, the word had come out perfectly clear.
Goku was taken aback, " What...did you say? "
" NNnnn, NO! NO, KAKARROT! " he folded his arms, " I hab by piid, I ab nah urr bahbee! "
Goku looked the ouji square in the eye, " Vegeta? "
" Yes, Kakarrot? " Vegeta replied, calmer this time.
Goku turned to Plushie, " Plu-chan? "
Plushie looked around, feeling cornered. He swallowed, " Daddy? "
" I, I can't believe it...what happened? " Goku said in a small voice.
" I'm sorry Daddy, I didn't want him to hurt you again. He wanted to kill you! I couldn't let him kill you. " Plushie
sniffled.
" Aww Plushie, Veggie smacks me around all the time, but he doesn't intend to KILL me. " Goku reassured him, " Not
anymore, anyway. "
" I didn't know that. " Plushie said sadly, " You couldn't tell by the way he was treating me and Chi-Chi. "
" Veggie's just a lil envious, that's all. " Goku chuckled. Vegeta glared at Plushie.
" I guess you'd like me to switch us back, huh? " Plushie said, filled with guilt.
" Well....yes. " Goku said, trying not to be too blunt.
" Alright, " Plushie stood infront of Vegeta, " But you better promise me he won't hurt me once I'm back in my own
body. "
" I promise Veggie won't hurt you Plu-chan, and if he tries to, I'm MORE than strong enough to take him down if I
needed to. " Goku pepped. Vegeta growled at him. Plushie held his hands out infront of him.
" Goodbye fingers, opposable thumb, I hardly knew ye. " he mock-sniffled. Suddenly a flash of green light overtook
the room. Plushie & Vegeta collapsed to the ground, Goku glancing from one to another cluelessly.
" Ohhhh... " Plushie groaned, sitting up. He paused then tested out his voice, producing the high squealy sound from
before, " Well, I'm back. "
" Plu-chan? " Goku bent down to Plushie, " Is that...you? "
" Yes Daddy. " he replied.
" AWW! PLUSHIE'S BACK! " Goku gave the doll a large hug. Plushie smiled.
" You know what, I kinda missed my body. " Plushie said happily, staring down at his chubby arms and hands.
" Uhhhhh... " the duo walked over to the moaning ouji and looked down at him.
" Veggie? Yoo-hoo! Little Veggie open your eyes. " Goku said happily, waving his hand infront of Vegeta's face. The
prince slowly opened them as everything came into focus. He sat up.
" Hey little buddy! Gimmie a hug! " Goku reached his arms out, then sweatdropped as Vegeta lept to his feet and
walked right past him.
" YOU! " he pointed at Plushie, who cocked his head, " YOU BODY-STEALING CREATURE! HOW DARE YOU MAKE A MOCKERY OUT
OF-- " Vegeta paused at Goku's giggling towards the ouji's braid. He yanked it out, sending his hair flying back into its
normal position and continued, " --THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI! " he snapped his arm as he pointed to Plushie,
" I CHALLANGE YOU TO A BATTLE! SAIYAJIN AGAINST...MUTANTLY GIANT PLUSH TOY! WINNER GETS KAKARROTTO! "
" WHAT?! " Goku gasped, " Hey wait just a second, I didn't agree to this! " he protested.
" Meet me in 5 minutes out on the front lawn! And prepare to have that stuffed head of yours ripped off its chubby
body because this is a battle to the death! " Vegeta shouted, then grabbed a pair of his training gear and left the room in
a huff.
Plushie and Goku stood there, dumbfounded.
" That wasn't very nice of Veggie, betting me like that. " Goku folded his arms stubbornly, " Ooh if Chi-chan knew
about this she would be so mad at him. "
Plushie stared at the ground, " What am I gonna do? " he shivered, " I'm not strong enough to beat that meanie ouji,
I barely know how to spar with somebody in the first place. "
" Aww, don't worry Plu-chan, I can lend you some of my chi if you want. " Goku offered.
" Well, I guess... " Plushie said, unsure.
" GREAT! " Goku waved his arm in the air, then placed his hand on Plushie's forehead. Instantly Plushie felt a burst
of energy fly through him, " So? How's that feel? "
" ... " Plushie looked down at himself in shock, " A--amazing... " he grinned at Goku, " Thank you Daddy! "
" You're welcome Plushie. " Goku answered.
" But, what about Vegeta? He said its a battle to the death--I don't want to KILL him. " Plushie said.
" You won't have to! " Goku smiled impishly.
Plushie stared at him for a moment, then reflected Goku's expression, " You have a PLAN, don't you Daddy? "
Goku nodded, " Yes I do! One that will allow you & Veggie to fight each other, and still prevent anyone from getting
killed! "
Plushie blinked, " But, what would THAT be?.... "
" You want to send him through my enlarging ray AGAIN! " Bulma gawked at Goku & Plushie, who were now standing before
her in her lab.
" Yeah, I figured that if we enlarged Plushie about, say, 3X my size, he'll be big enough to overtake Veggie &
paralyze him long enough for us to make a deal. " Goku explained.
" But Goku, I mean, about the enlarging ray, it-- " Bulma hesitated as Goku placed Plushie on the machine & gave him
a thumbs up sign.
" There ya go Plu-chan! " Goku said, " Bulma can you set the machine for, uhhm, gee...3X my size isn't the same as
3X Plushie's size is it... " he thought outloud. Plushie frowned, " Well let's see. Plushie's Veggie's size right now, and
Veggie's about half my size, so that means...we have to put it to 6X Plushie's size! " Goku grinned, proud of himself.
" That was....frighteningly intellegent of you, Son-kun. " Bulma said, surprised.
" Aww, 'twirnt nothin! " he smiled widely.
Bulma sweatdropped, then set the machine, " I still don't think you should be doing this. I got a look at my giant
strawberries this morning and they-- "
Goku pressed the on button, zapping Plushie, who slowly grew larger until he barely fit on the machine, " HOW'S THE
AIR UP THERE PLU-CHAN! "
" Umm, OH-KAY! " Plushie called back.
" This is perfect! Come on Plushie, let's go outside to meet Veggie. " Goku grabbed Plushie's foot & teleported them
outside.
" Ohh, why do I even try. " Bulma groaned.
Plushie stood infront of Capsule Corp, now almost as tall as the building itself, ::This is embarassing:: he
sweatdropped, then looked down at his outfit; one of Vegeta's extra training uniforms, " Well, I'm ready as I'll ever be. "
Goku leaned against Plushie's boot just as Vegeta exited the building.
" So? Veggie? Whadda ya think? Eh? Eh? " Goku motioned to Plushie.
The ouji took one look at the gigantic Plushie and shrieked, " WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM!!! "
" Oh, we just sent him through the enlarging machine again, you know, to even out the odds. " Goku tapped Plushie's
boot.
" HOW DOES _THAT_ EVEN THE ODDS!!! " Vegeta screamed, hysterical.
" Well, you ARE significantly stonger than Plushie, so we thought his huge size would even out your strength. "
Vegeta gulped nervously at the supersized Plushie, " Even...it out....right. " he regained his confidence, " No
matter! All that means is that there's going to be a whole neighborhood covered in stuffings instead of just the front lawn."
he smirked at Plushie, then bent down into a fighting position, " Alright, 'giganto', let's see your stuff! "
" Err! " Plushie growled back at him in his tiny voice. He stomped his left foot to the ground, causing the whole
block to shake. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Heh-heh-heh.. " he laughed nervously at Plushie, then returned to his so called evil smirk, only with a more
frazzled then before, " Was that it? "
" AHHHH!!! " Plushie folded his hands together & slammed them towards the ouji like a giant mallet. Vegeta quickly
teleported out of the way & behind Plushie's head. He grabbed a chunk of the doll's black hair & pulled as hard as he could,
which, to his surprise, wasn't hard enough. The frustrated ouji went SSJ2 and let go of Plushie's hair. Instead he formed a
large ball of ki and shot it at the back of Plushie's head, knocking the doll to the ground an nearly leveling Capsule Corp
in the process. Plushie groaned as he pushed his face out of the dirt, then, still bent on his knees, let loose some of his
borrowed ki, startling the ouji who had flown directly infront of Plushie's face. He snickered & kicked the doll in his
right eye. Plushie covered his now tearing eye with his hand & quickly snatched Vegeta with his free hand, " Ah-ha! Now I
got you! " Plushie smiled evilly, " You are not going to make my Daddy do anything he doesn't want to do ever again you
meanie! "
Vegeta glanced down at Goku, who had been watching the fight from a nearby lawnchair, wearing a pair of sunglasses
and sipping from a cup of iced tea. The larger saiyajin blinked, then rubbed his eyes, feeling they were starting to play
tricks on him for Plushie was now significantly smaller than when the fight began, " What the? " Goku stared at Plushie, then
examined his sunglasses.
" KAKARROTTO!!! DO SOMETHING!!! " Vegeta screamed, then yelped as Plushie began flicking his head back & forth like
a punching bag, " TELL HIM TO STOP!! "
" I can't do that Veggie. " Goku shook his head innocently, " You said, and I quote, "a battle to the death!",
unquote. " he grinned stupidly.
The short prince's face turned a pale green. He glared at Plushie, then bit down onto the doll's fingers.
" YEOW! " Plushie threw him into the air, then rubbed his biten finger. He glanced up at Vegeta, who was hovering
over Capsule Corp, which now looked much much bigger. Plushie scratched his head, confused, then snarled and lept at the
ouji. He started throwing punches left and right, Vegeta blocking every blow with his hands. Plushie aggrivatedly continued
his barrage, then felt an idea click in his brain & jabbed his foot forth and kicked Vegeta in the croch. The prince fell
to the lawn before recovering, " ERRR, THAT WAS A CHEAP TRICK! "
Plushie giggled, " Heeheehee, who FELL for the cheap trick though? "
" WAIT'LL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!! " the enraged ouji flew at Plushie, who nearly dodged his blow.
" I think I'm getting the hand of this. " Plushie smiled at Goku. Goku gave him a thumbs up, then paused.
" Plushie...your size... " he gawked.
" What about my size? " Plushie blinked, a blank look on his face.
" You're smaller than VEGGIE NOW! "
" What?! " Plushie looked up at Vegeta, who was now beating him by almost 6 inches in height, " GAH!! WHAT'S
HAPPENING TO ME!!! "
" I don't know about you, but I'm starting to like it, PLOOSHIE. " Vegeta mocked, then grabbed Plushie in a headlock.
" AHHHHH!!! " Plushie cried.
" VEGGIE STOP! THAT'S NOT FAIR! HE'S SMALLER THAN YOU! " Goku yelled, worried.
" YOU beat me up all the time and _I'M_ smaller than you, so what's the difference. " Vegeta shrugged it off, then
turned back to Plushie, who to his surprise was almost as small as he had been when Goku first found him. Plushie stuggled,
trying to get out of Vegeta's grip on his neck.
::OH NO! He's gonna choke me just like he tried to choke Daddy yesterday!:: Plushie thought, frightened. His panic
further heightened as the world around him started to become blurrier and he felt less control of his limbs, " AAUGH! DADDY
HELP! I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS!!! " Plushie screamed in terror, even the sound of his squealy voice was getting harder to
produce, " IT'S GETTING TOO DARK! MAKE IT STOP! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP! "
Vegeta dropped Plushie to the ground, shocked at how fast the doll had been shrinking. Plushie was gasping for air
as footsteps could be heard coming towards them from the front of Capsule Corp.
" GOKU! GOKU!! " Bulma shouted as she ran out the front door and onto the lawn, " I--- " she gasped to see a small
figure stuggling to move as it layed on the patch of grass.
Vegeta bent down towards Plushie and raised an eyebrow, " Are you oh-kay? "
Plushie weakly grabbed him by the collar, " You...you take care of Daddy oh-kay? " he pleaded, " Don't you try to
blow him up anymore. "
" ... " the ouji nodded to Plushie, almost sympathetically.
" Protect him for me, cuz, I think my body's going to go back to sleep for a while. " Plushie felt his free arm
stiffen.
Vegeta smirked, " What do you think I was fighting against you for in the first place? "
Plushie's eyes widen, then glazed over as he let go of Vegeta's shirt & went numb.
" Plushie? Hey, Plu? " Vegeta poked him, " Plushie??? " he turned towards Goku, who was talking with Bulma across
the lawn, " HEY KAKARROTTO! I THINK YOUR DOLL JUST DIED! "
" VEGETA!!! " Bulma scholded angrily, then looked at Goku, who's eyes were filled to the brim with tears, " I'm
sorry Son-kun, like I just told you, " she held up a strawberry, " I found the enlarging ray has a few bugs in it. Apparently
I'm not going to expect to invent the cure to world hunger anytime soon. " she said dryly, then patted him on the shoulder
and talked in a softer voice, " That's why I didn't want you to use it on Plushie again, even if you hadn't used it the
second time the effect was only temporary to begin with and-- " Bulma paused to see Goku run over to Plushie & pick the small
stuffed toy up.
" Oh my little Plushie! Daddy's so sorry please forgive me Plu-chan! " he sobbed wildly, then held Plushie up to his
ear.
" ... "
" You mean, you don't really mind? " Goku's tears slowed to a sniffle.
" ... "
" Well, I guess it's for the best...and hey, now you have a snazzy new outfit too, isn't that great? " he smiled,
pointing to the blue training outfit of Vegeta's Plushie was wearing which had shrunk with him.
" ... "
" Yeah, you did put a good fight, I'm very proud of you Plushie. " Goku hugged him, " You know what? Let's go home
and I can ask Chi-chan to cook you up some of those little mini-hotdogs you like so much. "
" ... "
" Oh don't worry, we have plenty of relish at home for you to use. "
Bulma & Vegeta watched Goku continue on his conversation with Plushie as if nothing had changed.
" Wow...he got over THAT quickly. " Vegeta marvelled.
" Yes....Son's like that. " Bulma added, equally amazed at Goku's now happy state. He grinned at the couple, then
walked over to them, Plushie under his arm.
" Me and Plushie want to say goodbye to you. " Goku giggled, then reached Plushie's hand out to shake.
" Uhh, goodbye...Plushie. " Bulma said, baffled.
Goku turned to Vegeta, " And thank you Veggie for teaching my little Plu-chan so many new things. Turns out he
doesn't think you're that much of a bad guy after all! " he said happily, " Right Plu-chan? "
" ... "
" Goku, I, uhh, I don't think he can hear you. " Bulma pointed to Plushie, " You know, since he's technically, you
know, not alive. "
" Of course he's alive, Bulma! " Goku grinned, " Plushie & I communicate telepathically! " he pointed to his noggin.
Vegeta gawked, " You, you mean all that time you were talking to Plushie when he was small before and I thought you
were going crazy, you were just talking to each other through your heads?! "
" Yup! " Goku nodded, " That's the gist of it! "
" Uhhhh...and, he can SEE too? "
" As far as I know, yes. "
" Astounding... " Vegeta murmured.
" So! I've got to get going now! Plushie got himself all worked up from that battle with you and now it's time to
take a snack! " Goku waved to them, " Bye Veggie! Bye Bulma! Cya later! " he teleported home, Plushie in his arms.
" ... "
" ... "
" ..well? " Bulma said, breaking the silence, " I guess that's that, huh? "
" Hmm. " Vegeta agreed, " Say, Onna? Out of, you know, innocent curiousity, does that machine of yours still work? "
" I haven't de-programmed it yet so, yeah. " Bulma replied.
" Good. " the ouji snickered, sneaking away.
Bulma watched him micheviously tip-toe into the house, then close the door, " --HEY! YOU COME BACK HERE! DON'T YOU
DARE TOUCH MY MACHINE AND KEEP OUT OF MY LAB!!! " she ran after him.
" ALRIGHT! WHERE ARE YOU! VEGETA! " Bulma exclaimed, downstairs in her lab. She looked her enlarging machine over.
The machine looked as if it hadn't been touched, " Huh...I guess I shouldn't jump to conclusions, huh. He didn't come down
here after all. " Bulma said, surprised, then smiled, " Well, it seems that little prince has some willpower after all! "
Vegeta, meanwhile, was lugging a now life-sized stuffed Goku up the living room stairs and into his room, " Hmm, I
KNEW I bought this Kaka-toy for SOMETHING. " he opened the door to his bedroom & dragged it inside. He smirked, " Hey, if
ya can't beat 'um, join 'um. "

6:33 PM 4/16/2002
THE END!
Chuquita: And thus I hereby decree this fic ended!
Mirai: (sweatdrops) Everybody's got to get into the royalty act.
Chuquita: (to audiance) Two lil announcements before I continue this Corner. Ever wonder what Goku would look like with
PINK hair? Go to anipike.com and under banners it has their mascot, a chibi girl called Trixie, dressed up as different
animé characters. I got a kick out of the Goku & Ryo-oki ones. No Veggie's though. (frowns)
Mirai: Ugh, I can't imagine my hair color if Toussan's had been pink.
Chuquita: (thinking outloud) Let's see, Bulma's blue, if Veggie was pink...pink & blue make....(raises an eyebrow at Mirai's
lavender hair) You sure Veggie's hair really isn't pink and he just dyes it black?
Mirai: (angrily) HIS HAIR IS _NOT_ _PINK_!!!!
Chuquita: (laughs nervously) Oh-kay, oh-kay, (turns to audiance) The other announcement is for people who (like me) got into
the series way after the first & half of the second season. After Cartoon Network finishes this round of the the Buu season.
Mirai: --saga.
Chuquita: --SEASON! Anyway, after they finish this season they're going waaaaaay back to episode 1 when Raditsu first arrives
on Earth. Personally, I'm interested in seeing Funimation's first crack at dubbing the show, not to mention the
unintentionally funny, cheesy way they had of censoring it. For instance, Nappa saying Raditsu 'stinks' instead of saying
Raditsu is 'dead'. Of course he stinks, because now he's a rotting corpse! (grins)
Mirai: So, we gonna get back to saving the day and getting your B.B.O.A.S back or what?
Chuquita: Huh? Oh, right! [both head down the hall of the Son castle] Wow, one thing I can say about Veggie, he sure knows
how to spiff a place up. It's beautiful.
Mirai: I bet he got the idea for doing this from his own castle back on Bejito-sei.
Chuquita: [nods, then bumps into something] YEOW! HEY! (shouts at figure) Where did you think you were going!
Gohan: [dressed as a butler] (slightly ticked) Well I WAS going to the kitchen get some flour for Kaasan, and this WAS the
kitchen when I left it. [holds his arms out & points to the reception hall their in]
Goten: [slides into the room behind his brother, wearing a jester uniform] These clothes are itchy.
Chuquita: (curious) I guess Veggie changed more than just the rooms of the house huh.
Gohan: (narrows his eyes) Vegeta?
Mirai: Chu-sama let Toussan be host for a day and he went on a rampage using her Big Book of Author Spells. He put Chi-Chi in a
trance, changed the house into a castle, dubbed himself as King, Son-San as his Prince. We're currently trying to find a way to
stop Toussan, save the book, and get everything back to normal.
Chuquita: (smiles) Nice summary, Mirai!
Mirai: (grins sheepishly) Thanks.
Gohan: But that still doesn't help us any. The problem is HOW we're going to do it.
Chuquita: (smirks) Ahh, I have prepared for this. [pulls out a piece of paper & read off it] Here's what we're gonna do. Mirai
will snatch the book from Vegeta, seeing as he lives with him he probably knows the ouji's habits better than the rest of us.
Mirai: (groans) Unfortunately.
Chuquita: Meanwhile, I will lead Son-San to safety while Goten distracts Veggie with his "Kaka-like" antics.
Goten: (whining) But I like Uncle Veggie.
Chuquita: Shush! Finally, I'm counting on Gohan to keep a lookout for anything suspicous. He'll signal us if something goes
wrong.
Gohan: ...
Goten: Gohan?
Gohan: [leaps out from behind the doorway in his Saiyaman costume] (superhero voice) Do not worry fair citizens, for I shall do
my best to protect you from evil! [strikes pose] For I am the defender of good! [strikes another pose] Destoryer of evil!
[strikes pose] I am the lover of justice! FOR I AM-- [final pose] THE GREAT SAIYAMAN!!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops)
Goten: (clapping) YAY GOHAN! HOORAY! (grins) That's my brother.
Chuquita: ...yes. Yes he is. (larger sweatdrop)
Mirai: (also sweatdropping) To think he was my role model...
Gohan: Did mirai me have a snazzy costume, action figures, and cool poses?
Mirai: No.
Gohan: (smirks boastfully) Well, that's why I'm still around and he's not.
Mirai: THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH--
Chuquita: [slaps her hand over Mirai's mouth] HEY! Shhh! Let him go, he's helping us. Besides, I like that whole 'Saiyaman'
thing of his.
Mirai: (sighs)
Chuquita: Now let's go!
All: Right!
Extra Note:
Chuquita: (to audiance) Hi everyone. For my next story I have 8 different possible stories. So look for one of these
so-far-untitled stories next week.
1) Goku runs off to join the circus; literally. Now Veggie, Mirai, and Bura have to stop him before he makes the biggest mistake
of his life.
2) "Bam!" sequel. Veggie uses Mirai's time travel machine to stop Chi-Chi and Goku's wedding so no one will stand in his way for
getting his own personal Kaka-servant. What he doesn't know is that Present Chi-Chi has followed the ouji to stop HIM. Will
Veggie get his way? How will this affect the future?
3) Piccy fic. Piccolo uses a stupifying potion to turn the entire planet into mindless minions so he can finally succeed in his
long-unfufilled quest for world domination? But what happens when the plot backfires and the people become to stupid to perform
simple tasks? How will Piccolo undo what he's done?
4) dna mix-up fic. Bulma does some tests on the boys and Veggie mistakes Goku's dna sample for his. The shocked prince now
thinks he too is a peasant. Vegeta then goes to Son, begging him to teach the ouji how to be a thrid-class saiyajin like himself
Now the ouji must undergo a series of 'to him' humiliating tasks. Will he survive? What happens when he finds out about the
mix-up?
5) Veggie accidently spills one of Bulma's chemical's on himself, and now its turning him to stone? Will the gang find some
way to reverse the effects or will Veggie end up as a lawn accesory?
6) Episode 273 parody. Goku & Veggie take a trip through Buu's body? Facing giant worms, stomach acids, and rafts made of
chocolate. Will they get out alive? Or will they get flushed out the crapper first?
7) Veggie wakes up in Goku's body, but Goku is not in Veggie's. Will he figure out what happened? How will he convince everyone
he's really who he thinks he is? Or is Goku just going insane?
8) Kako-germs. Based on a comic strip I wrote. Vegeta actually proves Goku's so called kako-germs really exist. When the little
creatures realize who's watching them they spring for a new home on the saiyajin prince. How will Veggie get rid of them? What
happens when he decides to NOT get rid of them? Will Goku be germ-less forever?

Quote of the Week: "Now that's fancy! They should call you Spongebob Fancypants! " -Patrick 'from Spongebob Squarepants'
Lil Veggie's Corner:
Chuquita: [hiding behind the Son house w/Mirai] You know, I'm starting to think this wasn't such a good idea to let Veggie
host the Corner for a day.
Mirai: (sighs) He's an egomaniac--
Chuquita: (also sighs) --but he's our egomaniac.
Mirai: Indeed....so what do we do now.
Chuquita: There's nothing we CAN do. Either we wait for Veggie's timeslot to be up or we find a way to steal my "Big Book of
Author Spells" back.
Mirai: How are we gonna do THAT?
Chuquita: Beats me.
Vegeta: [infront of the house w/Son & Chi] (musing) Ahh to think all my dreams are about to become a reality. And all thanks
to this lovely little book. [snickers] [pats the book on its cover]
Chi-Chi: Err...rr..[grabs Goku by the collar] (whispering) Goku, on my signal we charge him.
Goku: But Chi-chan, I can't do that to Veggie. That would be mutiny!
Chi-Chi: (gawks) WHAT?!
Goku: Veggie's the King and I'm the Prince. Co-hosts can't just go and attack their host!
Chi-Chi: (aggrivated) And why NOT!
Goku: (nervous) Well I--I can't, I--LOOK AT ALL THE PRETTY JEWELRY VEGGIE GAVE ME! (sobs) [points to his crown, multiple
rings, and large red & white cape] And the cape. I LOVE THIS CAPE! [hugs it]
Chi-Chi: (whispering louder) That doesn't matter Goku! What matters is that that EVIL little monster is going to brainwash
us if we don't do something FAST!
Goku: (repeats) "Evil"? [glances over at Veggie, who looks up at him innocently] (smiles) Awww, Veggie's so cute!
Chi-Chi: (snorts) Cute my behind.
Vegeta: [zaps her, causing her mouth to disappear]
Chi-Chi: (frantically searching for her mouth) MMPH MMMPH!!
Vegeta: (to Son) Don't listen to her Kaka-chan! As your King AND host of this Corner, I'm ONLY trying to look out for your
best interests and keep you as comfortable as humanly possible.
Goku: (watching Chi, worried) What did you do to Chi-chan's mouth!
Vegeta: (to himself) Something that should have been done a LONG time ago.
Goku: (frightened) But little Veggie, what if she can't BREATHE!
Vegeta: That's why she has a nose, baka.
Goku: (glares) Ooh, you better put Chi-chan's mouth back on Veggie or I'll give you such a pinch! (shakes his finger at him)
Vegeta: [folds his arms] Fine. For YOU, Kakarrot. [zaps Chi-Chi's mouth back on, then zaps her again putting her in mindless
zombie mode] There, MUCH better.
Goku: (inspecting her) Chi-chan?
Vegeta: And another thing Kakarrot, your house is too small. Not NEARLY fit for royalty such as ourselves.
Goku: (protests) But I LIKE my home the way it is.
Vegeta: [zaps the house, changing it into a gigantic glistening castle]
Goku: (eyes widen) Wow, it's be-uuu-tea-ful.
Vegeta: (snaps his fingers, causing the draw bridge to drop) Come Kakarrot, (to Chi-Chi) come, SERVANT, let us enter our
new-found life of POWER and PAMPERING. [enters, followed by Son, who is in awe at the castle and Chi-Chi, who is still in
a deep hypnosis]
Chuquita: (shouts) (to Mirai) NOW!
[both dash inside after Veggie & gang just as the drawbridge closes]
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?
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" WEEEE! Veggie this is so great! You've never let me bounce on your bed before! " Goku said happily as he continued
to jump up and down on the ouji's bed.
::No wonder you left him:: Plushie thought in disqust, " You are welcome Kakarowt. " he said warmly.
" Boy I'm glad I left that extra pair of pajamas in the trunk. " Goku smiled, " I can't believe I'm actually going
to have a slumber party with Veggie this is so exciting! " he cheered.
Plushie ravanged through Vegeta's closet in search of pajamas, " Doesn't that ouji wear ANY loose clothing! " he
mumbled, moving several pieces of saiyajin armor out of the way.
" Little Veggie why are you looking in there? You know all your pj's are in the drawers. " Goku said, confused.
Plushie froze.
" Of, of course. I knew that. " Plushie laughed nervously, then walked over to the bureau and started to search
through the pajama drawer. He smiled and pulled out a pair of white pajamas with little carrots all over them.
" Gosh, I haven't seen those before. " Goku grinned, pleased at the sight. Plushie fliped the pajamas over to see
the word carrot written on the back of the top half. Someone had used a marker to cross a line down the rounded part of the
c and added two letters to the front. The new, doctored word spelled Kakarrot. Goku sweatdropped, " Wow, I don't know whether
to be flattered or frightened. "
Plushie also sweatdropped, " Me neither. " he looked up, " Kakarowt, will you help me get my pajamas on? " he asked.
Goku looked at him oddly, " You don't need any help getting your pj's on Veggie. "
" But, but you helped Plushie get his pajamas on the other night, can't you help me too? " Plushie pleaded.
" I only help Plushie with his pj's because he's not strong enough to get them on by himself. Besides he has no
fingers, " Goku wiggled his own in demonstration, " How's he supposed to button himself up without any fingers. "
Plushie looked down at Vegeta's fingers & moved them slightly, " This is gonna take some getting used to. " he said,
staring down at the fingers.
" What's that Veggie? "
Plushie bolted to attention, " Nothin. " he replied, " Are you SURE you can't help me? " Plushie said sadly.
" No. " Goku giggled, then stopped, " That would be weird. "
Plushie sighed, " I'm starting to regret switching bodies in the first place. " he felt a strange, painful rumbling
in his body, " Ohhhh, what's that! "
" You probably just have to go to the bathroom, that's all. " Goku said cheerfully. Plushie turned a pale color.
" Buh--bathroom? " he gawked. ::Dolls don't go to the bathroom. I don't know how to go to the bathroom!:: Plushie
gulped, " Uhh, Go--err, Kakarowt? "
" Yeah? "
" Do you think..you could help me...go to the bathroom? " Plushie smiled, embarassed.
Goku stared at him blankly, " ...you're, kidding right? " he spoke up, starting to get conserned about his little
buddy.
" YOU WOULD HELP PLUSHIE THOUGH IF HE HAD TO GO THE BATHROOM!! " Plushie sobbed.
" I would never have to, he's a stuffed toy. He doesn't go potty. " Goku said, then narrowed his eyes at Plushie,
who sweatdropped.
" What? What is it? " Plushie said, uneasy.
" You look different. " Goku answered, baffled.
" Different? "
" Yeah, I can't put my finger on it. It's just that, I've known you for so long Veggie, and after we fused that one
time against Buu, I gained a whole wealth of knowledge about you that's locked up in that little Veggie-brain of yours. And
right now your whole mannersism is off. It's almost like you're not really in there. Like that's just a shell and there's
a completely different soul inside it that doesn't belong inside it. Like the person I'm looking at right now isn't Veggie
at all. " Goku watched the now paranoia-filled Plushie.
::He's onto me!:: Plushie thought with fright.
" But that's just silly of me to say that. " Goku grinned at him, " I know my little Veggie and he's the best lil
ouji in the whole wide world and I love him! " he giggled. Plushie smiled back at him. Goku was taken aback. He nervously
put his hand on Plushie's forehead.
" What's wrong now? " Plushie asked.
" Your face isn't red. " Goku said plainly.
" Is it...supposed to be? " Plushie cocked an eyebrow.
" Well, normally it.... "
" --you know what how about we get our things ready for the slumber party oh-kay? You know, like balloons and
streamers and stuff like that? " Plushie interupted.
" I get to bring streamers? Really? " Goku excitedly got up, " Oh this is gonna be GREAT! I know exactly where you
put them when you took them away from me last time! " he opened the door to Vegeta's room & ran downstairs, " Be right back
Veggie! "
Plushie sweatdropped, " Take your time! PLEASE. "
" MWAH WAH AHHHHHHH! " Vegeta wailed from inside the closet. He had been trapped in there for nearly 2 hours now,
personally unaware of how long it had been. His stomach no longer able to tell him if it was near dinnertime or not. The
ouji was tired of crying and sick of the pathetic attempts Plushie's body performed on the ropes.
" Hmm, I could have sworn I left it around here somewhere. " Goku's voice echoed from outside the closet.
" KAKA RROOOO! " he screamed behind the door.
" That's right! " Goku snapped his fingers, " Veggie locked them in the closet where I couldn't reach them. " he
opened the door, then gasped to see what he thought was Plushie tied up to a chair. Vegeta looked at Goku with relief,
" PLUSHIE! " Goku gasped, then instantly ran over and untied Vegeta, " Oh Plushie what happened to you! " he cried, picking
the ouji up and hugging him close, " I'm so sorry, how did you get in here. Veggie didn't tie you up did he? Or Chi-chan? "
he held Vegeta away from him & sweatdropped to see the doll's face glowing bright red, " Plushie you runnin a fever? "
Vegeta shook the feeling off, then smacked Goku across the face, " KAKA RROOOO!!! GA WA POO POO IN EER!! "
" Huh? " Goku set him down, " Did you just try to say, Kakarrot? "
" AI! KAKA RROO! EH EEE BEH GGE A! POO POO WA MEH UU EER EH EEE OOK I BODY!!! " Vegeta cried out in Plushie's voice.
" Body? What about your body? " Goku blinked.
Vegeta grabbed him by the hand & dragged him out of the room, or at least, tried to. Goku giggled at his attempt &
carried the ouji out.
" Now Plushie, " he set him down infront of a nearby tabletop filled with pictures, " What is it you wanted to tell
me, and just say it slower this time. You have to sound words out before you can say them correctly. " Goku spoke to him as
if he were mentally inept. Vegeta growled at this and looked around before spotting the pictures. He found one of himself &
took it off the shelf.
" Muhee. " he pointed at the picture, then pointed to himself, " No. " Vegeta paused, hoping Goku would understand.
" Yeah, that's a picture of Vegeta. He's my little buddy. " Goku smiled.
" ME! ME! " Vegeta pronounced more clearly.
" That's not your, you're Plushie. Vegeta's upstairs in his room getting ready for our slumber party. "
" HE GODA HABA SUMBE PA DEE WIT UU N MII BODY!!! " he screamed, enraged.
::Plushie's mad. Plushie's NEVER mad:: Goku thought, then noticed the 'Goku's little buddy' shirt Vegeta was wearing,
" Say, did Vegeta tie you up in the closet because you stole his shirt from him? " Goku concluded, then looked suspicously,
" But Vegeta said that he got it stained and put it in the washer. That doesn't make any sense. "
" Goku! We have to get going-- " Chi-Chi entered the room. Vegeta grinned, then zipped over to her.
" KAKA RROO! EH TI-TI! GA BA DOO WAHH!! " he shook her arm, talking to Goku.
Chi-Chi sniffed the air, " Ehhh, that STENCH. " she looked down at Vegeta, " You smell like... " she paused and
observed him closely, " Goku...this is not Plushie... "
Vegeta smirked. Somebody had recognized him, even though it WAS the one person who couldn't wait to beat him into
the ground.
" Of course it's Plushie, who else could it be! " Goku laughed.
Chi-Chi glared in a serious manner at Vegeta, who returned the expression, " Ouji? "
" Onna. " it replied, still smirking.
" What's going on in here. "
" That's what I'd like to know. " Vegeta replied. Plushie poked his head out of Vegeta's bedroom.
" Kakarowt! Come back up, I found the balloons and I'm all ready for the slumber party now. " Plushie smiled,
excited.
" SLUMBER PARTY!? " she gagged, " YOU'RE HAVING A _SLUMBER PARTY_!! " Chi-Chi screamed at Goku.
" It was my idea Chi-chan. " Goku looked down at the floor, " Please let me sleep over with Veggie tonight? "
Chi-Chi looked down at Vegeta & chuckled, " Of course you may, Goku. As long as you keep 'Plushie' as far away from
the slumber party as possible. "
" Aww, don't worry about Plushie, Chi-chan. Me-n-Veggie'll take good care of him. "
" KAKAROWT!! " Plushie called from upstairs.
" COMING LITTLE VEGGIE! " Goku ran up to Vegeta's bedroom.
" 'Kakarowt'? " Chi-Chi said with skeptism.
" Hmm. " Vegeta folded his arms against his chest, frustrated.
" I thought something sounded fishy just now. " Chi-Chi nodded. Vegeta glared up at her, " You're the one trapped in
there now, aren't you Vegeta? "
He paused, then looked up at her, depressed.
" That franken-doll stole your body from you somehow, didn't he? " she chuckled, then stopped at the hurt look on
Vegeta's face, " Well, " Chi-Chi tried not to allow any sympathy from the ouji in her voice, " Goodluck in getting it back.
Goku should figure out who's who sooner or later, the hard part will probably be trying to fix whatever it is Plushie did to
you. Personally, I'd prefer sooner. I've got a sinking feeling that Plushie would be no fun to fight against. "
" 'fight'? " an idea clicked in Vegeta's mind. He grinned evilly at her, " ank uuu, Chi-Chi. "
" Wow, that's an...interesting sleeping outfit Kakarowt. " Plushie sweatdropped as Goku came out of the small
bathroom linked to Vegeta's room wearing a pair of white bunny footie pajamas with a bunny-ears hood over his head.
Goku grinned, " Thanks Veggie! I figured since you're bein a carrot I could be a bunny. It's a theme, get it? " he
said, proud of himself.
" Theme? " Plushie thought for a moment, " OH! I get it now! Very creative of you, Kakarowt! " Plushie said,
impressed.
" Aww, really little Veggie? " Goku giggled, happy to recieve a compliment from who he thought was the ouji.
" Yeah, it's nice. " Plushie smiled.
" ...say Veggie? "
" What? "
" Why are you wearing your pajama shirt backwards? "
Plushie looked down at his shirt, then scratched his head, " Backwards? " he said as if it were a foreign dish.
" You sure you're feelin alright to be slumber partying, Veggie? " Goku asked.
" Huh? Of course I'm alright. I, I didn't know it was-- " he peeked at the tag on the shirt, " --backwards..oh, it's
on the wrong way. " Plushie took the shirt off, then flipped it around & put it on correctly, " There, better. "
" *KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK* "
" Kakarowt will you get that? " Plushie said, fiddling with the tag on his shirt.
" Oh-kay Veggie! " Goku saluted him, then opened the door to see a stuffed figure staring up at him, " IT'S
PLUSHIE! " he squealed with big sparkily eyes.
Vegeta stared at the large saiyajin in the bunny pajamas before him, shocked. A small trail of drool hanging out the
side of his mouth and his face now glowing red enough to power the whole house, " ... "
" How ARE you Plu-chan? " Goku clasped his hands togther with excitement. Vegeta fainted. Goku sweatdropped,
" Plushie? Plu-sheeee? "
" Ooh ooh! Hold on! I think he's coming to! " a high-pitched voice said in the darkness. Vegeta opened his eyes to
see two blurry figures hovering over him. He sleepily sat up to see Goku and Plushie in his body staring at him, " There's
my little baby! " Goku gave the ouji a soft hug, " Oh Plushie you got your Daddy so scared you know that? " he rubbed the
doll's hair, " I'm so glad you're oh-kay. " he sniffled, taking his bunny-ear hood off, " You ARE oh-kay, aren't you my lil
Plu-chan-chan? " Goku asked innocently.
" I don't think....I'll EVER recover...from this one... " Vegeta sat on the floor, stunned.
" Say Veggie, can Plu-chan play slumber party with us? " Goku looked up at Plushie.
" NO! I, uh, what if he says something, you know, inappropriate. "
Goku glanced over at Vegeta, who was looking his own stuffed hands over, still shaking from his recent bout as
'Plushie', " I don't think Plushie'd say something mean. He can't say anything at all. "
" Not yet. " Plushie grumbled, the image of Vegeta choking Goku from before flashed through his mind. He watched Goku
with sympathy, " And for your sake Go-sama, I hope he never does. "
" So, Plushie? " Goku walked over to Vegeta, who froze with fear, " Wanna come help me pick out some jammies for you
to wear at the slumber party? "
" damaas? " the tiny voice came out of the ouji's mouth.
" Yeah, jammies. " Goku grinned, tugging at his own pajamas, " Like the ones Veggie let you borrow the other night. "
Vegeta sighed with relief, ::Well, at least I'll be wearing my own clothes, that's one step back to retrieving my
identity, right?:: he followed Goku to the bureau and opened his pajama drawer. Goku's eyes widened in amazement.
" Hey Plushie, how did YOU know that's where Veggie keeps his pj's? " Goku gawked. Plushie started sweating
nervously.
" AH AB EDGEE!!! " Vegeta stomped his foot angrily.
" Here, let me find some for you. " Goku offered, smushing Vegeta out of the way, " Now what would look pretty on my
little Plu-chan? Hmm... " he paused, then pulled a pair of silk pink underwear out of the bottom of the drawer, " Imported
from France, " Goku read the tag, then grinned cheesily, " Ooh la la. "
" AHHH!!! " Vegeta snagged the underwear out of Goku's hands in embarassment, " YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SEE THAT!
YOU'RE _NEVER_ SUPPOSED TO SEE THAT!!! " Unfortunately for Vegeta the only thing coming out of his mouth was an enraged mix
of babbling.
" Nice undies Veggie. " Goku snickered at Plushie, " They're probably, *chuckle* very becoming on you. " he tried to
push back his laughter.
Plushie sweatdropped, " I'm starting to think I should've switched bodies with that screaming woman Chi-Chi instead."
he grumbled, " No matter, I shall prod on. " he turned to Goku, " You know, those really aren't MY undies. "
::Yes, they're MINE:: Vegeta thought in resentment, then noticed a pair of blue pj's with the front of the top
reading 'The Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ouji'. He grinned, remembering what the shirts back read: Vegeta. The ouji smiled
and held the shirt & pants up infront of himself. Vegeta pointed to the lettering of the shirt, then to his own body.
" Aww, Plushie thinks he's you. " Goku giggled, " Isn't that cute. "
" Heh-heh, cute, right. " Plushie laughed nervously.
" Come on Plushie, let's go into the bathroom over here and I'll help you get your pj's on. " Goku pushed Vegeta
toward the bathroom. The ouji shrieked and screeched to a halt.
" THERE IS _NO_ _WAY_ I AM LETTING KAKARROT DRESS ME!!! " he screamed in Plushie's voice. He turned to Goku, " YOU
BAKAYARO! I GIVE YOU THE MOST OBVIOUS CLUES AND YOU MISS IT COMPLETELY! YOU MENTALLY INEPT PEASANT! I OUTTA--hey! " Goku
lifted Vegeta off the ground and carried him into the bathroom, closing the door behind them. Plushie stared at the door,
worried for Goku's safety.
" Be careful Daddy. "
" Sit still! I SAID SIT STILL!!! " Goku tried desperately to keep Vegeta from getting off the toilet seat cover. He
grabbed both the ouji's boots and pulled them off, " There. " the saiyajin smiled, setting the boots on the floor. Vegeta
looked down at Plushie's stubby so-called feet, which looked more like knees than feet. He grimaced.
Goku took the 'little buddy' shirt from him and stared at it, puzzled, " You know, it doesn't add up Plushie. "
Vegeta looked up at him curiously.
" Veggie said he put the shirt in the washer, but you were wearing it when I found you in the closet. And how did
you get in there? Who tied you up? I can understand if Veggie did it out of jealousy, but the whole t-shirt thing throws that
whole theory off track. "
Vegeta smirked, the larger saiyajin was finally saying something intellegent.
" And Veggie didn't hug like Veggie, and when I hugged you it felt like Veggie, it's almost like you've been switched
or something... " Goku trailed off. Vegeta nodded in agreement, " ...NAH! That only happens in sci-fi movies and homemade
fanfiction stories. " Vegeta sweatdropped, " Now lift your little arms up. Lift 'um up for Daddy. " Goku had switched back to
babying mode. Vegeta grabbed the top from Goku & put it on by himself.
" Wow, way to go Plushie. " Goku said, amazed, " But you still gotta let me help you with your bottoms. " he
playfully held up the pajama pants. Vegeta stared at him for a moment, then opened the bathroom door & kicked Goku out, only
to slam it shut a second later, " Plushie? " Goku turned to the door.
A few minutes later Vegeta emerged from the bathroom, his pajamas on perfectly. He passed by Plushie on his way to
Goku, " How do you creatures reproduce? " he remarked in babble. Plushie sent him a death-glare.
" Plushie what a wonderful job you did! " Goku clapped for him. Vegeta bowed to the applause. Plushie felt a hint of
jealousy rising up into him again, " ...OOH! You know what would be REALLY FUN? "
" No...what? " Plushie blinked. The large saiyajin burst into hysterical giggles and Vegeta gulped.
Goku sat up, " Well... "
" Oh Veggie look how pretty you are! " Goku awed at the braid he had just put in the ouji's hair. Vegeta had sat
there on the couch, repulsed for 2 hours he had sat watching Kakarrot screw up his hair, which was now temporarily Plushie's.
" It's very nice, thank you Kakarowt. " Plushie replied. Goku seemed distraut at his little buddy's recent politeness
. He broke into a grin.
" Well now you have a French braid to go with your French undies! " he chirped. Plushie groaned & Vegeta put his
hands to his face in humiliation, " Bura taught me how to make those. " Goku turned to Vegeta, " So, how about you little
Plu-chan? Do YOU want me to play hairdresser with you too? "
" You mean hairMESSER. " Vegeta snorted, then felt something tap him on the shoulder.
" Aww, come on Plushie! " the ouji yelped to see how fast Goku had teleported behind him, " Lemmie DAZZLE you. " he
wiggled his fingers in suspense.
" O! " Vegeta shook his head.
" Come on, you're hair'll look so beautiful. " Goku teased. The ouji let out a scream.
" KAKARROTTO!!!! " Vegeta screamed at the top his lungs, the word had come out perfectly clear.
Goku was taken aback, " What...did you say? "
" NNnnn, NO! NO, KAKARROT! " he folded his arms, " I hab by piid, I ab nah urr bahbee! "
Goku looked the ouji square in the eye, " Vegeta? "
" Yes, Kakarrot? " Vegeta replied, calmer this time.
Goku turned to Plushie, " Plu-chan? "
Plushie looked around, feeling cornered. He swallowed, " Daddy? "
" I, I can't believe it...what happened? " Goku said in a small voice.
" I'm sorry Daddy, I didn't want him to hurt you again. He wanted to kill you! I couldn't let him kill you. " Plushie
sniffled.
" Aww Plushie, Veggie smacks me around all the time, but he doesn't intend to KILL me. " Goku reassured him, " Not
anymore, anyway. "
" I didn't know that. " Plushie said sadly, " You couldn't tell by the way he was treating me and Chi-Chi. "
" Veggie's just a lil envious, that's all. " Goku chuckled. Vegeta glared at Plushie.
" I guess you'd like me to switch us back, huh? " Plushie said, filled with guilt.
" Well....yes. " Goku said, trying not to be too blunt.
" Alright, " Plushie stood infront of Vegeta, " But you better promise me he won't hurt me once I'm back in my own
body. "
" I promise Veggie won't hurt you Plu-chan, and if he tries to, I'm MORE than strong enough to take him down if I
needed to. " Goku pepped. Vegeta growled at him. Plushie held his hands out infront of him.
" Goodbye fingers, opposable thumb, I hardly knew ye. " he mock-sniffled. Suddenly a flash of green light overtook
the room. Plushie & Vegeta collapsed to the ground, Goku glancing from one to another cluelessly.
" Ohhhh... " Plushie groaned, sitting up. He paused then tested out his voice, producing the high squealy sound from
before, " Well, I'm back. "
" Plu-chan? " Goku bent down to Plushie, " Is that...you? "
" Yes Daddy. " he replied.
" AWW! PLUSHIE'S BACK! " Goku gave the doll a large hug. Plushie smiled.
" You know what, I kinda missed my body. " Plushie said happily, staring down at his chubby arms and hands.
" Uhhhhh... " the duo walked over to the moaning ouji and looked down at him.
" Veggie? Yoo-hoo! Little Veggie open your eyes. " Goku said happily, waving his hand infront of Vegeta's face. The
prince slowly opened them as everything came into focus. He sat up.
" Hey little buddy! Gimmie a hug! " Goku reached his arms out, then sweatdropped as Vegeta lept to his feet and
walked right past him.
" YOU! " he pointed at Plushie, who cocked his head, " YOU BODY-STEALING CREATURE! HOW DARE YOU MAKE A MOCKERY OUT
OF-- " Vegeta paused at Goku's giggling towards the ouji's braid. He yanked it out, sending his hair flying back into its
normal position and continued, " --THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI! " he snapped his arm as he pointed to Plushie,
" I CHALLANGE YOU TO A BATTLE! SAIYAJIN AGAINST...MUTANTLY GIANT PLUSH TOY! WINNER GETS KAKARROTTO! "
" WHAT?! " Goku gasped, " Hey wait just a second, I didn't agree to this! " he protested.
" Meet me in 5 minutes out on the front lawn! And prepare to have that stuffed head of yours ripped off its chubby
body because this is a battle to the death! " Vegeta shouted, then grabbed a pair of his training gear and left the room in
a huff.
Plushie and Goku stood there, dumbfounded.
" That wasn't very nice of Veggie, betting me like that. " Goku folded his arms stubbornly, " Ooh if Chi-chan knew
about this she would be so mad at him. "
Plushie stared at the ground, " What am I gonna do? " he shivered, " I'm not strong enough to beat that meanie ouji,
I barely know how to spar with somebody in the first place. "
" Aww, don't worry Plu-chan, I can lend you some of my chi if you want. " Goku offered.
" Well, I guess... " Plushie said, unsure.
" GREAT! " Goku waved his arm in the air, then placed his hand on Plushie's forehead. Instantly Plushie felt a burst
of energy fly through him, " So? How's that feel? "
" ... " Plushie looked down at himself in shock, " A--amazing... " he grinned at Goku, " Thank you Daddy! "
" You're welcome Plushie. " Goku answered.
" But, what about Vegeta? He said its a battle to the death--I don't want to KILL him. " Plushie said.
" You won't have to! " Goku smiled impishly.
Plushie stared at him for a moment, then reflected Goku's expression, " You have a PLAN, don't you Daddy? "
Goku nodded, " Yes I do! One that will allow you & Veggie to fight each other, and still prevent anyone from getting
killed! "
Plushie blinked, " But, what would THAT be?.... "
" You want to send him through my enlarging ray AGAIN! " Bulma gawked at Goku & Plushie, who were now standing before
her in her lab.
" Yeah, I figured that if we enlarged Plushie about, say, 3X my size, he'll be big enough to overtake Veggie &
paralyze him long enough for us to make a deal. " Goku explained.
" But Goku, I mean, about the enlarging ray, it-- " Bulma hesitated as Goku placed Plushie on the machine & gave him
a thumbs up sign.
" There ya go Plu-chan! " Goku said, " Bulma can you set the machine for, uhhm, gee...3X my size isn't the same as
3X Plushie's size is it... " he thought outloud. Plushie frowned, " Well let's see. Plushie's Veggie's size right now, and
Veggie's about half my size, so that means...we have to put it to 6X Plushie's size! " Goku grinned, proud of himself.
" That was....frighteningly intellegent of you, Son-kun. " Bulma said, surprised.
" Aww, 'twirnt nothin! " he smiled widely.
Bulma sweatdropped, then set the machine, " I still don't think you should be doing this. I got a look at my giant
strawberries this morning and they-- "
Goku pressed the on button, zapping Plushie, who slowly grew larger until he barely fit on the machine, " HOW'S THE
AIR UP THERE PLU-CHAN! "
" Umm, OH-KAY! " Plushie called back.
" This is perfect! Come on Plushie, let's go outside to meet Veggie. " Goku grabbed Plushie's foot & teleported them
outside.
" Ohh, why do I even try. " Bulma groaned.
Plushie stood infront of Capsule Corp, now almost as tall as the building itself, ::This is embarassing:: he
sweatdropped, then looked down at his outfit; one of Vegeta's extra training uniforms, " Well, I'm ready as I'll ever be. "
Goku leaned against Plushie's boot just as Vegeta exited the building.
" So? Veggie? Whadda ya think? Eh? Eh? " Goku motioned to Plushie.
The ouji took one look at the gigantic Plushie and shrieked, " WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM!!! "
" Oh, we just sent him through the enlarging machine again, you know, to even out the odds. " Goku tapped Plushie's
boot.
" HOW DOES _THAT_ EVEN THE ODDS!!! " Vegeta screamed, hysterical.
" Well, you ARE significantly stonger than Plushie, so we thought his huge size would even out your strength. "
Vegeta gulped nervously at the supersized Plushie, " Even...it out....right. " he regained his confidence, " No
matter! All that means is that there's going to be a whole neighborhood covered in stuffings instead of just the front lawn."
he smirked at Plushie, then bent down into a fighting position, " Alright, 'giganto', let's see your stuff! "
" Err! " Plushie growled back at him in his tiny voice. He stomped his left foot to the ground, causing the whole
block to shake. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Heh-heh-heh.. " he laughed nervously at Plushie, then returned to his so called evil smirk, only with a more
frazzled then before, " Was that it? "
" AHHHH!!! " Plushie folded his hands together & slammed them towards the ouji like a giant mallet. Vegeta quickly
teleported out of the way & behind Plushie's head. He grabbed a chunk of the doll's black hair & pulled as hard as he could,
which, to his surprise, wasn't hard enough. The frustrated ouji went SSJ2 and let go of Plushie's hair. Instead he formed a
large ball of ki and shot it at the back of Plushie's head, knocking the doll to the ground an nearly leveling Capsule Corp
in the process. Plushie groaned as he pushed his face out of the dirt, then, still bent on his knees, let loose some of his
borrowed ki, startling the ouji who had flown directly infront of Plushie's face. He snickered & kicked the doll in his
right eye. Plushie covered his now tearing eye with his hand & quickly snatched Vegeta with his free hand, " Ah-ha! Now I
got you! " Plushie smiled evilly, " You are not going to make my Daddy do anything he doesn't want to do ever again you
meanie! "
Vegeta glanced down at Goku, who had been watching the fight from a nearby lawnchair, wearing a pair of sunglasses
and sipping from a cup of iced tea. The larger saiyajin blinked, then rubbed his eyes, feeling they were starting to play
tricks on him for Plushie was now significantly smaller than when the fight began, " What the? " Goku stared at Plushie, then
examined his sunglasses.
" KAKARROTTO!!! DO SOMETHING!!! " Vegeta screamed, then yelped as Plushie began flicking his head back & forth like
a punching bag, " TELL HIM TO STOP!! "
" I can't do that Veggie. " Goku shook his head innocently, " You said, and I quote, "a battle to the death!",
unquote. " he grinned stupidly.
The short prince's face turned a pale green. He glared at Plushie, then bit down onto the doll's fingers.
" YEOW! " Plushie threw him into the air, then rubbed his biten finger. He glanced up at Vegeta, who was hovering
over Capsule Corp, which now looked much much bigger. Plushie scratched his head, confused, then snarled and lept at the
ouji. He started throwing punches left and right, Vegeta blocking every blow with his hands. Plushie aggrivatedly continued
his barrage, then felt an idea click in his brain & jabbed his foot forth and kicked Vegeta in the croch. The prince fell
to the lawn before recovering, " ERRR, THAT WAS A CHEAP TRICK! "
Plushie giggled, " Heeheehee, who FELL for the cheap trick though? "
" WAIT'LL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!! " the enraged ouji flew at Plushie, who nearly dodged his blow.
" I think I'm getting the hand of this. " Plushie smiled at Goku. Goku gave him a thumbs up, then paused.
" Plushie...your size... " he gawked.
" What about my size? " Plushie blinked, a blank look on his face.
" You're smaller than VEGGIE NOW! "
" What?! " Plushie looked up at Vegeta, who was now beating him by almost 6 inches in height, " GAH!! WHAT'S
HAPPENING TO ME!!! "
" I don't know about you, but I'm starting to like it, PLOOSHIE. " Vegeta mocked, then grabbed Plushie in a headlock.
" AHHHHH!!! " Plushie cried.
" VEGGIE STOP! THAT'S NOT FAIR! HE'S SMALLER THAN YOU! " Goku yelled, worried.
" YOU beat me up all the time and _I'M_ smaller than you, so what's the difference. " Vegeta shrugged it off, then
turned back to Plushie, who to his surprise was almost as small as he had been when Goku first found him. Plushie stuggled,
trying to get out of Vegeta's grip on his neck.
::OH NO! He's gonna choke me just like he tried to choke Daddy yesterday!:: Plushie thought, frightened. His panic
further heightened as the world around him started to become blurrier and he felt less control of his limbs, " AAUGH! DADDY
HELP! I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS!!! " Plushie screamed in terror, even the sound of his squealy voice was getting harder to
produce, " IT'S GETTING TOO DARK! MAKE IT STOP! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP! "
Vegeta dropped Plushie to the ground, shocked at how fast the doll had been shrinking. Plushie was gasping for air
as footsteps could be heard coming towards them from the front of Capsule Corp.
" GOKU! GOKU!! " Bulma shouted as she ran out the front door and onto the lawn, " I--- " she gasped to see a small
figure stuggling to move as it layed on the patch of grass.
Vegeta bent down towards Plushie and raised an eyebrow, " Are you oh-kay? "
Plushie weakly grabbed him by the collar, " You...you take care of Daddy oh-kay? " he pleaded, " Don't you try to
blow him up anymore. "
" ... " the ouji nodded to Plushie, almost sympathetically.
" Protect him for me, cuz, I think my body's going to go back to sleep for a while. " Plushie felt his free arm
stiffen.
Vegeta smirked, " What do you think I was fighting against you for in the first place? "
Plushie's eyes widen, then glazed over as he let go of Vegeta's shirt & went numb.
" Plushie? Hey, Plu? " Vegeta poked him, " Plushie??? " he turned towards Goku, who was talking with Bulma across
the lawn, " HEY KAKARROTTO! I THINK YOUR DOLL JUST DIED! "
" VEGETA!!! " Bulma scholded angrily, then looked at Goku, who's eyes were filled to the brim with tears, " I'm
sorry Son-kun, like I just told you, " she held up a strawberry, " I found the enlarging ray has a few bugs in it. Apparently
I'm not going to expect to invent the cure to world hunger anytime soon. " she said dryly, then patted him on the shoulder
and talked in a softer voice, " That's why I didn't want you to use it on Plushie again, even if you hadn't used it the
second time the effect was only temporary to begin with and-- " Bulma paused to see Goku run over to Plushie & pick the small
stuffed toy up.
" Oh my little Plushie! Daddy's so sorry please forgive me Plu-chan! " he sobbed wildly, then held Plushie up to his
ear.
" ... "
" You mean, you don't really mind? " Goku's tears slowed to a sniffle.
" ... "
" Well, I guess it's for the best...and hey, now you have a snazzy new outfit too, isn't that great? " he smiled,
pointing to the blue training outfit of Vegeta's Plushie was wearing which had shrunk with him.
" ... "
" Yeah, you did put a good fight, I'm very proud of you Plushie. " Goku hugged him, " You know what? Let's go home
and I can ask Chi-chan to cook you up some of those little mini-hotdogs you like so much. "
" ... "
" Oh don't worry, we have plenty of relish at home for you to use. "
Bulma & Vegeta watched Goku continue on his conversation with Plushie as if nothing had changed.
" Wow...he got over THAT quickly. " Vegeta marvelled.
" Yes....Son's like that. " Bulma added, equally amazed at Goku's now happy state. He grinned at the couple, then
walked over to them, Plushie under his arm.
" Me and Plushie want to say goodbye to you. " Goku giggled, then reached Plushie's hand out to shake.
" Uhh, goodbye...Plushie. " Bulma said, baffled.
Goku turned to Vegeta, " And thank you Veggie for teaching my little Plu-chan so many new things. Turns out he
doesn't think you're that much of a bad guy after all! " he said happily, " Right Plu-chan? "
" ... "
" Goku, I, uhh, I don't think he can hear you. " Bulma pointed to Plushie, " You know, since he's technically, you
know, not alive. "
" Of course he's alive, Bulma! " Goku grinned, " Plushie & I communicate telepathically! " he pointed to his noggin.
Vegeta gawked, " You, you mean all that time you were talking to Plushie when he was small before and I thought you
were going crazy, you were just talking to each other through your heads?! "
" Yup! " Goku nodded, " That's the gist of it! "
" Uhhhh...and, he can SEE too? "
" As far as I know, yes. "
" Astounding... " Vegeta murmured.
" So! I've got to get going now! Plushie got himself all worked up from that battle with you and now it's time to
take a snack! " Goku waved to them, " Bye Veggie! Bye Bulma! Cya later! " he teleported home, Plushie in his arms.
" ... "
" ... "
" ..well? " Bulma said, breaking the silence, " I guess that's that, huh? "
" Hmm. " Vegeta agreed, " Say, Onna? Out of, you know, innocent curiousity, does that machine of yours still work? "
" I haven't de-programmed it yet so, yeah. " Bulma replied.
" Good. " the ouji snickered, sneaking away.
Bulma watched him micheviously tip-toe into the house, then close the door, " --HEY! YOU COME BACK HERE! DON'T YOU
DARE TOUCH MY MACHINE AND KEEP OUT OF MY LAB!!! " she ran after him.
" ALRIGHT! WHERE ARE YOU! VEGETA! " Bulma exclaimed, downstairs in her lab. She looked her enlarging machine over.
The machine looked as if it hadn't been touched, " Huh...I guess I shouldn't jump to conclusions, huh. He didn't come down
here after all. " Bulma said, surprised, then smiled, " Well, it seems that little prince has some willpower after all! "
Vegeta, meanwhile, was lugging a now life-sized stuffed Goku up the living room stairs and into his room, " Hmm, I
KNEW I bought this Kaka-toy for SOMETHING. " he opened the door to his bedroom & dragged it inside. He smirked, " Hey, if
ya can't beat 'um, join 'um. "

THE END!
Chuquita: And thus I hereby decree this fic ended!
Mirai: (sweatdrops) Everybody's got to get into the royalty act.
Chuquita: (to audiance) Two lil announcements before I continue this Corner. Ever wonder what Goku would look like with
PINK hair? Go to anipike.com and under banners it has their mascot, a chibi girl called Trixie, dressed up as different
animé characters. I got a kick out of the Goku & Ryo-oki ones. No Veggie's though. (frowns)
Mirai: Ugh, I can't imagine my hair color if Toussan's had been pink.
Chuquita: (thinking outloud) Let's see, Bulma's blue, if Veggie was pink...pink & blue make....(raises an eyebrow at Mirai's
lavender hair) You sure Veggie's hair really isn't pink and he just dyes it black?
Mirai: (angrily) HIS HAIR IS _NOT_ _PINK_!!!!
Chuquita: (laughs nervously) Oh-kay, oh-kay, (turns to audiance) The other announcement is for people who (like me) got into
the series way after the first & half of the second season. After Cartoon Network finishes this round of the the Buu season.
Mirai: --saga.
Chuquita: --SEASON! Anyway, after they finish this season they're going waaaaaay back to episode 1 when Raditsu first arrives
on Earth. Personally, I'm interested in seeing Funimation's first crack at dubbing the show, not to mention the
unintentionally funny, cheesy way they had of censoring it. For instance, Nappa saying Raditsu 'stinks' instead of saying
Raditsu is 'dead'. Of course he stinks, because now he's a rotting corpse! (grins)
Mirai: So, we gonna get back to saving the day and getting your B.B.O.A.S back or what?
Chuquita: Huh? Oh, right! [both head down the hall of the Son castle] Wow, one thing I can say about Veggie, he sure knows
how to spiff a place up. It's beautiful.
Mirai: I bet he got the idea for doing this from his own castle back on Bejito-sei.
Chuquita: [nods, then bumps into something] YEOW! HEY! (shouts at figure) Where did you think you were going!
Gohan: [dressed as a butler] (slightly ticked) Well I WAS going to the kitchen get some flour for Kaasan, and this WAS the
kitchen when I left it. [holds his arms out & points to the reception hall their in]
Goten: [slides into the room behind his brother, wearing a jester uniform] These clothes are itchy.
Chuquita: (curious) I guess Veggie changed more than just the rooms of the house huh.
Gohan: (narrows his eyes) Vegeta?
Mirai: Chu-sama let Toussan be host for a day and he went on a rampage using her Big Book of Author Spells. He put Chi-Chi in a
trance, changed the house into a castle, dubbed himself as King, Son-San as his Prince. We're currently trying to find a way to
stop Toussan, save the book, and get everything back to normal.
Chuquita: (smiles) Nice summary, Mirai!
Mirai: (grins sheepishly) Thanks.
Gohan: But that still doesn't help us any. The problem is HOW we're going to do it.
Chuquita: (smirks) Ahh, I have prepared for this. [pulls out a piece of paper & read off it] Here's what we're gonna do. Mirai
will snatch the book from Vegeta, seeing as he lives with him he probably knows the ouji's habits better than the rest of us.
Mirai: (groans) Unfortunately.
Chuquita: Meanwhile, I will lead Son-San to safety while Goten distracts Veggie with his "Kaka-like" antics.
Goten: (whining) But I like Uncle Veggie.
Chuquita: Shush! Finally, I'm counting on Gohan to keep a lookout for anything suspicous. He'll signal us if something goes
wrong.
Gohan: ...
Goten: Gohan?
Gohan: [leaps out from behind the doorway in his Saiyaman costume] (superhero voice) Do not worry fair citizens, for I shall do
my best to protect you from evil! [strikes pose] For I am the defender of good! [strikes another pose] Destoryer of evil!
[strikes pose] I am the lover of justice! FOR I AM-- [final pose] THE GREAT SAIYAMAN!!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops)
Goten: (clapping) YAY GOHAN! HOORAY! (grins) That's my brother.
Chuquita: ...yes. Yes he is. (larger sweatdrop)
Mirai: (also sweatdropping) To think he was my role model...
Gohan: Did mirai me have a snazzy costume, action figures, and cool poses?
Mirai: No.
Gohan: (smirks boastfully) Well, that's why I'm still around and he's not.
Mirai: THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH--
Chuquita: [slaps her hand over Mirai's mouth] HEY! Shhh! Let him go, he's helping us. Besides, I like that whole 'Saiyaman'
thing of his.
Mirai: (sighs)
Chuquita: Now let's go!
All: Right!
Extra Note:
Chuquita: (to audiance) Hi everyone. For my next story I have 8 different possible stories. So look for one of these
so-far-untitled stories next week.
1) Goku runs off to join the circus; literally. Now Veggie, Mirai, and Bura have to stop him before he makes the biggest mistake
of his life.
2) "Bam!" sequel. Veggie uses Mirai's time travel machine to stop Chi-Chi and Goku's wedding so no one will stand in his way for
getting his own personal Kaka-servant. What he doesn't know is that Present Chi-Chi has followed the ouji to stop HIM. Will
Veggie get his way? How will this affect the future?
3) Piccy fic. Piccolo uses a stupifying potion to turn the entire planet into mindless minions so he can finally succeed in his
long-unfufilled quest for world domination? But what happens when the plot backfires and the people become to stupid to perform
simple tasks? How will Piccolo undo what he's done?
4) dna mix-up fic. Bulma does some tests on the boys and Veggie mistakes Goku's dna sample for his. The shocked prince now
thinks he too is a peasant. Vegeta then goes to Son, begging him to teach the ouji how to be a thrid-class saiyajin like himself
Now the ouji must undergo a series of 'to him' humiliating tasks. Will he survive? What happens when he finds out about the
mix-up?
5) Veggie accidently spills one of Bulma's chemical's on himself, and now its turning him to stone? Will the gang find some
way to reverse the effects or will Veggie end up as a lawn accesory?
6) Episode 273 parody. Goku & Veggie take a trip through Buu's body? Facing giant worms, stomach acids, and rafts made of
chocolate. Will they get out alive? Or will they get flushed out the crapper first?
7) Veggie wakes up in Goku's body, but Goku is not in Veggie's. Will he figure out what happened? How will he convince everyone
he's really who he thinks he is? Or is Goku just going insane?
8) Kako-germs. Based on a comic strip I wrote. Vegeta actually proves Goku's so called kako-germs really exist. When the little
creatures realize who's watching them they spring for a new home on the saiyajin prince. How will Veggie get rid of them? What
happens when he decides to NOT get rid of them? Will Goku be germ-less forever?
