Quote of the Week: -from "Peanuts"
Charlie Brown: I can't believe it..you've been selected for jury duty! This is ridiculous! Don't they know you're a dog?
Snoopy: ::What's wrong with that?::
Charlie Brown: Obviously, there's been a mistake...
Snoopy: ::I'll go if they give away free cookies..::
Chuey's Corner:
Goku: YAH! YAH! YAH! YAH! [repeatedly slaming his generic version's head against the outside wall]
Chuquita: (watching the fight from inside the Corner) I'm beginning to think this wasn't such a good idea after all.
(sweatdrops, then ducks as Son chucks his 'twin' through the wall and into the audiance and dives at him) (laughs nervously)
Well, that was a little too close for comfort.
Bejeeta: I'm rather enjoying myself. (content smile)
Vegeta: (grins) I'm a happy little ouji! [pats the unconsious Chi-Chi on the back] Isn't that right creature of darkness?
(excited giggle)
Chi-Chi: Uhhhhh... (groans and slowly opens her eyes)
Chuquita: (runs out into the audiance to take cover along with both Sons, who are now hiding behind a row) (waves to Veggie)
I'll just watch from back here thanks!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops)
Chi-Chi: (slowly opens her eyes to see a grinning blob staring at her) Huh? (focuses) YOU! [points at the ouji]
Vegeta: (happily) ME.
Chi-Chi: (grabs him by the collar) YOU LITTLE CREEP! I SHOULD PUMMEL YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID---wait...what did you do again?
Vegeta: (innocently) Nothin. (smirks) YET.
Chi-Chi: (boiling with anger) OOHHHHHH!!!
Bejeeta: [taps her one the shoulder]
Chi-Chi: (turns around) WHAT!!
Bejeeta: (wiggles his fingers) Hi again.
Chi-Chi: EEP! [stares at Bejee in shock, then turns back to Veggie, who has a proud grin on his face] (growls and slams him
against the wall] Alright! How did you do it?
Vegeta: Do what?
Chi-Chi: I know what you're up to. You're using that "after-image" trick of Goku's to make it seem like there's another you
behind me! Well I know better than that you stupid little ouji.
Vegeta: (snickers) Do you?
Bejeeta: [gets up out of his chair and walks over to them; stops beside Chi-Chi] You know, even for an Earthling that grip
of yours isn't very strong enough to do me THAT much damage. (nods)
Chi-Chi: (angry) OHH! YOU! [attempts to swat him away, only to slap him instead] AHH! [looks down at her hand] You're not
REAL! _HE'S_ REAL!!! [points to Veggie; shocked]
Vegeta: Actually, Onna, we're BOTH real.
Chi-Chi: WHAT? IMPOSSIBLE!!!
Vegeta: Ha! NOTHING is impossible for the GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI! (cheesy smile)
Chi-Chi: (rolls her eyes) Oh brother. ACK! (yelps)
Bejeeta: [grabs her from underneath the arms, pulling Veggie free] Gotcha.
Chi-Chi: LET GO OF ME YOU--YOU--WHATEVER YOU ARE!!
Bejeeta: Sorry, I can't do that. (chuckles) (to Veggie) Shall I blow her to pieces, or would you like the honor?
Vegeta: (grins) I have a better idea. I would like to keep the WITCH hostage so she can watch my ULTIMATE victory over my
WONDERFUL little peasant.
Chi-Chi: WHY YOU--(looks around, furious) GOKU!!!
Generic and Son: [poke their heads out from behind the row] (in unison) Yes Chi-chan?
Chi-Chi: (face turns a pale green) Uhhh--oh. (faints again)
Vegeta: Perfect! Bring her to the lair! I shall retrieve Kaka-chan and meet you there.
Bejeeta: Where IS the lair?
Chuquita: (yelling from behind the row; next to the Sons) YOU HAVE NO LAIR YOU LITTLE CHEESHEAD!
Vegeta: (thinks) ...oh yeah. Well, then, uh, TAKE HER TO THE PARKING LOT AND--uh, TIE HER TO THE BIKE RACK! Yes...
Bejeeta: (uneasy) Well, ok... (shrugs & drags Chi-Chi off the set) (to himself) He's getting kinda 'odd' again.
Summary: Veggie accidently spills one of Bulma's chemicals on himself and now he's turning to stone! Will Bulma find a way
to reverse the effects before the ouji turns into a statue PERMANENTLY? Will Goku loose his little buddy Veggie forever?
Will Chi-Chi finally achieve her dream of a Veggie-less world? Will Veggie end up as nothing more than a lawn decoration?
Find out!
Ages:
Bura: 8
Goten: 9
Trunks: 9
Chuquita: (scoffs) HA! "The lair"...
Vegeta: HEY! YOU JUST WAIT TILL I ACTUALLY GET ONE! I'LL TIE THE BOTH OF YOU TO A _REAL_ RACK AND SEE HOW FAR YOU STRETCH
BEFORE YOUR MERE HUMAN BODIES SNAP LIKE TWIGS IN MY CLUTCHES!!!
Goku: (irritated) Aww CALM DOWN Veggie!
Vegeta: (smiles) Yes Kaka-chan.
(Chu sweatdrops)
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Veggie? VEGGIE!!! " Goku screamed. The statue just stared back at him. Chi-Chi's gang from the other room began to
slowly seep out into the hall and into the living room to get a look at the stone-ouji, " OHHHHHHHHH!!! VEH-GEE!!! " he
sobbed, hugging the statue and trying not to crush it with his grip at the same time. Bura, Gohan, Mirai, and Bulma came
running up the stairs towards them after hearing Son's bawling, " Veggie I'm sorry! Oh I'm so SO sorry little Veggie! " the
large saiyajin cried, " I don't think I've ever been sorryier than I do right now! This is horrible! AND IT'S ALL MY FAULT!
I'VE DAMAGED YOU BEYOND BELIEF! "
" No you haven't honey, now move. " Chi-Chi said, unlatching his arms from around the statue and pushing him to the
side and looking down at the ouji, " Well well well, look who's finally bit the big one. " she snickered, " It looks like you
were wrong about your "destiny" after all, hmm? " she patted him on the shoulder, " No, wait. You were wrong for the most
part. You may be going to Europe after all, but it's not going to be playing tourist with my Go-chan, it's going to be as a
WATER FOUNTAIN in a hotel. "
" NOOOOOOO! " Goku screamed in horror, latching back onto the ouji-statue, " YOU CAN'T TAKE HIM AWAY! NOBODY CAN TAKE
HIM AWAY!! "
" *ding-dong*! "
" It's the auctionees! " Piccolo grinned.
" Quick! Someone get the door! " Juuhachigou shouted.
" THEY'RE COMING FOR VEGGIE! " Goku shrieked, " What'll I do! What'll I do! " he panicked.
" Go upstairs and stay in Vegeta's room until we fend them off. " Juuhachigou said sneakily.
" Really? " Goku's eyes widened.
" Really. Now go up there and don't come out till we tell you. " she smirked.
" HAI! " Goku said, then dashed upstairs and slammed the door behind him.
" Pheh, what a boob. " Juuhachigou rolled her eyes. Everyone stared at her, confused, " Quick, help me get him out
the door and up to the platform. I, err, WE have MONEY TO MAKE! "
" YEAH! " the group cheered, then carried the ouji-statue out the backdoor.
" GOHAN STOP THEM! " Bulma exclaimed.
" Well, I never really liked Vegeta THAT much... " he trailed off.
" Ugh! MIRAI! STOP THEM! " she turned to her son from the future of the alternate dimension.
" What if they try to auction ME off to! " Mirai gulped, " I _AM_ quite attactive. " he boasted.
" Oh brother. " Bulma groaned.
" I'LL GO! " Bura raised her arm high in the air, " As the GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI'S DAUGHTER--the GREAT
AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJO--it is my royal princess duty to save Toussan from the EVIL MONEY GRUBBING monsters who are
trying to use him to make MONEY. I will DESTORY THEM and free Toussan of his clumsily layen curse so he and his be-love-ed
peasant; Mr. Goten's Daddy; can live happily ever after. " she announced, then proudly marched up to her room, " I'm off to
get my supplies! "
Mirai, Gohan, and Bulma watched as she closed the door behind her.
" I don't care how much she looks like you, " Mirai said to Bulma, " She's Vegeta from the inside out. "
" I wonder if they've gotten rid of those meanie auction people yet. " Goku said to himself, sitting on Vegeta's bed,
which the ouji wouldn't like too much if he was there with him. He looked around the room and sighed, " And even after they
get rid of the auction people, Veggie might never be able to get back to normal again. " the saiyajin sighed, " I'll never
be able to come in here at 4:00 in the morning when Veggie's still snoozing and lean real close and squeal at the top of my
lungs and watch with entertainment as his little Veggie body slams into the ceiling in fright. " he smiled up at the various
Veggie-shaped indents on the ceiling above the bed, " Yeah...that was magical. " he leaned back & rested on the pillows,
" And that weird little love-hate thing he used to act around me...and all those silly arguments he had with Chi-chan...and
that one time when we fused, boy was that fun. I think 'lil Veggie must've wet his pants after I told him it was permanent...
..and then it turned out it wasn't permanent after all and Veggie did his little victory jig....and how he always used to
call me Kakarrot. I'd be Kakarrotto when he was really mad, but when he was happy it was Kakay, or Kaka-chan, or
Kakarrotto-chan. I liked how he only had one word for when he was angry at me, but THREE when he was happy....nobody's ever
gonna call me their Kakay or Kaka-chan or Kaka ANYTHING ever again... " he sniffled, then grabbed one of Vegeta's pillows
and blew his nose in it, " *sniff* Oh VEGGIE! " he sobbed, then took a whiff of the pillow and hugged it.
" FELLOW AUCTIONEES! " Chi-Chi shouted into the microphone as she stood infront of a large make-shift red curtain on
the platform the group had quickly constructed on Capsule Corp's front lawn, " WHO HAS THEIR MONEY! "
" HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! " they all cheered, raising their hands into the air with the green paper packed in wads in
each hand.
" NOW WHO WANTS TO SPEND IT! "
" HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! "
" AND WHO IS GOING TO WIN _THIS_ STATUE! " she said. Piccolo and Juuhachigou pulled the ropes on either side of the
curtain apart to reveal the stone-ouji.
" I AM!!!!! " the crowd shouted at once.
" ALRIGHT! " Chi-Chi smirked, making a fist, " Yamcha? Will you do the honors? " she handed him the microphone.
" Alrightletsbeginningthebiddingat1,1.5,2.Whollgiveme2?DoIseea2inthecrowd?DoIgotta3anybodyanyonethisisyourchangeblow
yourdoughokwehavesome3swhollgiveme4?Anytakers? " Yamcha rolled the sentences off of his tongue as if he were announcing the
play-by-play to the Kentucky Derby.
" Where did he learn how to do that? " Kuririn sweatdropped.
" The races. " Chi-Chi replied.
" Oh yeah, that was his and Bulma's 15th breakup, wasn't it? " Kuririn said, trying to remember straight.
" Yes, it was. " Chi-Chi sighed, then perked up, " But he DOES make a pretty could Auctioneer. "
" YOAH!!! " Bura burst out of her room in a pink ninja costume, complete with weapons. She paused to hear a loud
sniffing sound as Vegeta's bedroom door opened and Goku walked out, the pillow still in his arms. The saiyajin was taking
momentary whiffs of the pillow, " Mr. Goten's Daddy what are you doing? " she said, disturbed.
Goku glanced down at her, " It smells like Veggie. I'm using it to calm down until Chi-chan finishes getting rid of
the auctionees. "
Bura snorted, " She's not getting RID of them, Mr. Goten's Daddy. That's a LIE! They're having the auction right
now! "
" NO! " Goku shrieked, turning stark white.
" I'm on my way to stop them, care to join me? " she smirked, pointing to her attire.
" I don't believe Chi-chan and the others would do something so heartless. " Goku said in denial, rubbing his nose on
the ouji's pillow. Bura groaned and dragged him over to a nearby window, then pointed down to the auctioning setup below.
Goku gasped.
" OH NO!!! THEY DID! THEY ARE!! HOW _COULD_ THEY! I thought they loved me.... " he said, shocked.
" Then AID ME in my quest and we shall TOPPLE them and RESCUE Toussan! " Bura said, charged up.
" YES! I WILL HELP BURA SAVE VEGGIE! " Goku cheered.
" HOORAY! " Bura lept into the air, then grabbed him by the wrist, " Now follow me, we've got to get you in costume."
she said, dragging him into her room.
Goku sweatdropped, " Costume?! "
" I am _NOT_ going outside like this. " Goku pouted, looking at himself in the mirror.
" Oh forget about it! " Bura grumbled, then smiled, " I happen to think you look VERY BEAUTIFUL. "
" No. I am _NOT_ leaving this house dressed as a PINK ninja. " he said sternly.
" Aww, but Toussan will LOVE IT ON YOU! " Bura giggled, hugging his leg.
" "Toussan" is an inanimate object. " Goku folded his arms, then got struck with a thought, " I'VE GOT IT! " he
snapped his fingers together and dashed back into Vegeta's room.
" Got WHAT?! Where are you GOING! " Bura exclaimed, then followed him into the room and gawked. Goku was now wearing
one of Vegeta's navy blue training outfits. She sweatdropped.
" Now if _THIS_ doesn't scream "I'm-here-to-save-Veggie", then I don't know WHAT does! " he grinned, giving her a
thumbs-up sign.
" How did you fit that on yourself...I mean...you're at least 3 sizes bigger than Toussan. " Bura said, baffled.
" Yeah, I know. Veggie had one in the closet that was just my size. Kooky, huh? " Goku said happily, " I mean, what
are the odds. "
" Awwwww, I bet Toussan bought it JUST FOR YOU. " Bura clasped her hands together, musing.
" NAW! " Goku said, quickly dismissing the idea, " He probably thought all that training of his would eventually help
him get taller and he was keeping this for when it finally happened so he could show off his new-found height-ness. " Goku
explained.
" I swear, sometimes you're in you're own little world. " Bura shook her head in disgust.
Goku smirked at her as he walked past her and out of the room, " Sometimes I think you are too. "
" So? What are we up to now? " Kuririn asked, unable to understand Yamcha's fast-talking and the crowd's constant
shouting.
" I think we're somewhere in the billions. " Piccolo replied.
" Heeheeheeheehee. " Chi-Chi rubbed her hands together greedily, " Who'd have dreamed that evil prince could bring us
such CASH! "
" I know. " Juuhachigou agreed, " It's amazing. "
" Yeah, it looks like all his arrogance is finally "paying off". " Kuririn made a cheesy grin, then paused to see
the others staring at him sarcastically, " Heh-heh...heh.. " he laughed nervously.
" Stick to the day job, honey. " Juuhachigou sighed.
Kuririn whimpered, " Yes dear. "
" ! " Piccolo felt something from above grab his attention and looked up to see two small figures peering down
through the window a good seven or eight stories up. He squinted his eyes and focused his hearing at the duo.
" This is so horrible, I hope we can save Veggie in time. " the larger one said with consern.
" Don't worry! With your super strength and MY super brain power NOTHING can stop us! " the smaller one replied.
" Son Goku and Bura. " Piccolo smirked. His expression then hardened, " They're going to try to stop the auction. "
he sighed.
" What? " Chi-Chi turned to him suddenly.
" I said that Son and Bura are up there. " he nodded upward. Chi-Chi looked in that direction, " I don't see
anything. " she said, confused.
" Well they were right--huh? " Piccolo said, the two had indeed disappeared, " Now where could they-- "
" --HI PICCY-CHAN! " a voice squealed from behind him. Piccolo shrieked with surprise, then turned around to see Goku
grinning at him.
" SON!! " he yelled at the saiyajin, " WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TRYING TO DO!! "
" I missed surprising Veggie and so, as my vice and former little buddy, in the event we can't bring Veggie back to
normal.... " Goku trailed off, smiling micheviously at the namek.
" ...AHH! " Piccolo gasped in realization, " YOU CAN'T! I WENT THROUGH YOUR "LITTLE BUDDY" NIGHTMARE ONCE IN MY LIFE
AND THERE'S NO WAY I'M LETTING YOU PUT ME THROUGH THAT HEHLL A SECOND TIME!!! "
" Heeheehee. " the large saiyajin just giggled at him w/the big sparkily eyes usually reserved for those with the
title of 'little buddy'.
" Ehhhh... " Piccolo groaned in disgust, then did a double-take on Goku when he finally noticed something, " WHAT ARE
YOU WEARING!!! " he gawked.
" You mean THIS? " Goku proudly pointed to his Veggie-wear, " Don't I look pretty! "
" NO YOU DO _NOT_ LOOK "PRETTY"!!! " Chi-Chi screamed, shocked at his attire, " Go-chan...why are you wearing OUJI
clothes? "
" Aww, this is my "I'm-here-to-save-Veggie" costume. Like it? " he tugged at the white gloves on his hands.
" I think I'm going to have a heart-attack. " Chi-Chi said weakly.
" Actually, it's more like a head-attack. " Goku corrected her. Chi-Chi glanced up just as she felt something slam
into the top of her head and knock her unconsious. Bura laughed maniacally and lept off of Chi-Chi's head and to the ground.
" PREPARE TO MEET YOUR FATE YOU RAVENIOUS WOLVES OF DOOM! FOR I, THE PINK NINJA SHALL (along with my cohort Kakay)
SEE TO YOUR DEMISE! " Bura pointed towards them. The rest of the group on the pedistal sweatdropped.
" Bura's lost it. " Kuririn mumbled.
" I knew anyone related to that short little idiot couldn't last long before they went nuts. " Juuhachigou shook her
head, " Insanity's practically ENGRAVED in his gene pool. "
" SHUT UP HALF-ROBOTIC SPAWN OF SCIENCE OR I SHALL PULL A TOUSSAN ON YOU AND BLAST YOU TO BITS!!! " Bura shook her
fist at Juuhachigou.
" Ohhhhhhhhh boy. " Juuhachigou turned in the opposite direction, avoiding all eye-contact with the theatening oujo.
" I shall keep the monsters at bay while you deliever Toussan to safety! " she ordered Goku, who grinned and saluted
her, " Now GO! "
" Yes Pink Ninja! " Goku nodded to her, then grabbed the Veggie-statue with both arms and floated up into the air,
" Come on little buddy, time to take you home. " he teleported off of the stage.
" WAHHH!!! " the Pink Ninja let out a war cry and threw ninja stars at everyone on stage, who barely ducked her aim.
Bura jumped into the air and pulled out what looked like a pink batterang and shot it up into the window, then pulled herself
up with the rope, " Ha! " she landed inside.
" Veggie is safe and sound in his room. " Goku came up from behind her & grinned.
" Good job "Kakay"! Now BLAST THAT AUCTION INTO OBLIVION!!! " she said, determined.
" Right! " Goku got ready to leap out the window, " ...and don't call me Kakay. Only little Veggie is allowed to call
me Kakay. " he narrowed his eyes at her.
" Awwwwww, really? " Bura stared at him w/big sparkily eyes, " That's so romantic! "
Goku sweatdropped, " Whatever gets you through the day. " he eyed her up, disturbed, then again prepared to leap out
through the open window, " A-WAY! " he shouted in a fake superhero voice, then flew above the audiance, " HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! "
Goku screamed as he let loose just enough ki to knock everyone unconsious, but not kill them, " There. The DAY IS SAVED!
THANKS TO PINK NINJA AND, ummm, SUPERDEDOOPER MAN! "
" Superdedooper Man? " Bura cocked an eyebrow.
" It was all I could think up on such short notice. " Goku continued doing his superhero imitation. Bura slapped
herself on the forehead.
" You've got to be kidding me.... " she groaned, then peered down to see the unconsious bodies, " WHAT WAS THAT!!
YOU DIDN'T EVEN DESTROY THEM!!! "
" I don't believe in hurting the ones you love. " Goku said stubbornly.
" Ohhhhhhh, I don't believe thiiiiis. " Bura hung her head and shook it.
" COME! To the Superdedooper Mobile! We shall lump our friends inside it and take them back in the house. " he flew
down towards the stage.
" We don't HAVE a "Superdedooper Mobile"! " Bura complained, jumping down after him and landing seconds later. Goku
emerged from a nearby shed carrying a large wheelbarrow and smiled.
" We do now! "
" Ohhhhhhhh, my head. " Chi-Chi groaned in pain as she opened her eyes to find she was laying on the couch in the
living room. Her groggy auction-mates sitting around the same room in various places, " What happened? "
" We lost the auction. " Juuhachigou said from a nearby rocking chair.
" Lost it?! " Chi-Chi sat up, " What do you mean we LOST it? How can you LOSE and auction when YOUR THE ONE
AUCTIONING THE THINGS OFF IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! "
" Easy, we had a little 'help' from the 'Pink Ninja' and 'Superdedooper Man'. " Piccolo grumbled as he folded his
arms on the sofa.
" Who? " Chi-Chi blinked.
" Bura and Son. You don't remember much because Bura knocked you unconsious when she jumped down out of the window. "
he explained to her, then nodded to himself.
" SHE DID _WHAT_!! " Chi-Chi screamed.
" AGAIN with the questions. " Juuhachigou sighed.
" I can't believe this! I mean, her Otoussan gets turned into a statue and we try to sell him on Ebay and she goes
off the DEEP END! " Chi-Chi said, disgusted, " I mean, it's ONLY Vegeta. "
" Well, actually, I guess since he IS her father, Bura probably DOES have a good reason to go ballistic on us and-- "
Kuririn stopped when he realized he was getting glared at from every corner of the room, " ---uhh, oh-kay then. I'll keep
quiet. "
" Good. " Juuhachigou agreed.
" Ohhhh, I didn't even get to finish my announcing... " Yamcha pouted, the microphone still in his hand. He got up
and walked around the room, then started to sing into the microphone, " You must remember this, a kiss is just a kiss, a sigh
is just a sigh--OOF! " that's when Chi-Chi belted him with her fist, causing him to fall to the floor, " Try the fish...I'll
be here till Friday... " he squeaked out.
" OOH I'M SO MAD AT THAT LITTLE BLUE-HAIRRED OUJI-SPAWN! " Chi-Chi sat there, boiling in contempt, " PEOPLE LIKE HIM
SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO REPRODUCE!!! " she screamed up at the ceiling.
" I hear that... " Yamcha raised his finger weakly, still on the floor.
" HI CHI-CHAN! " Goku said happily, entering the room holding a tray. He sat it down infront of her, " I broughtcha
some T! "
Chi-Chi looked down at the tea and smiled, " Thank you Go-chan. " she took a sip of it, then spat it back out after
she got a look at him, " YOU'RE STILL WEARING THAT OUJI-WEAR!!! " she pointed at him.
" So? "
" SO! Err, GO CHANGE OUT OF THAT SICKENING COSTUME RIGHT NOW!!! " Chi-Chi screamed.
" Did you know Veggie doesn't wear underwear? "
" --what? " she looked at him bizarrely.
" Yeah, you see, I tried to wear my boxers under this, but they didn't fit cuz of the spandex, and I don't think
briefs would either, so that means that Veggie must walk around with no undies underneath thi-- "
" --AAUGHH! GOKU! " Chi-Chi turned green, sickened, " Just go CHANGE back into your OWN clothes. " she looked away,
then took another glance at him, then back to the other direction.
" Oh-kay Chi-chan! " he chirped, " This outfit was gettin kinda tight on me anyways. " he said as he made his way
back up to the prince's room where he had left his gi.
::It's quiet. TOO quiet! Where did they all GO!:: Vegeta stood there, blindly looking out into his own room, thoughts
of panic flooding his brain, ::Oh no! What if I'm packed away somewhere! I could be ANYWHERE right now...but I don't hear
anything. Maybe I'm on a plane!....no, I'd feel it if I was in the air....A TRUCK! ONE OF THOSE BIG MOVING VANS! That must be
it! They're towing me away to some unknown destination as a LAWN DECORATION infront of a 2-bit resturant. Well, I hope it's
at least a four-star one. Something worthy of my class and WHAT AM I SAYING! I'M ABOUT TO BECOME A BUILDING ACCESSORY! I
DON'T DESERVE THIS!! I'M THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI! I HAVE A DESTINY TO FULFILL! THIS IS NOT MY DESTINY! I HAVE
TO GET OUT OF HERE! I can't get out of here, I don't even know where HERE is!::
::Stop whining! You are hurting my ears!:: a squealy voice protested.
::AHH! VOICES! VOICES IN MY HEAD! I'm going mad...:: Vegeta quivered inwardly with fear, then felt a flash of light
before him and instantly found he was in his room, ::My eyes! My eyes are back! The chemical must be wearing off::
::That's not likely:: he glanced down see Plushie standing at his feet, ::I gave you just enough power to see, you
could at LEAST reward me by stop yapping so much!:: he waddled back to his spot on the bed.
::You--YOU CAN STILL MOVE AND TALK! YOU LITTLE BODY-SNATCHER!!:: Vegeta shouted telepathically as Plushie moved out
of view, " HEY! HEY! DON'T YOU LEAVE MY SIGHT-RANGE WHILE I'M YELLING AT YOU!!::
::At least I CAN leave:: Plushie said as-a-matter-of-factly.
::That's right....::: Vegeta trailed off sadly, ::So? Doll-Plush-Toy--::
::Plushie::
::Yes, "Plushie". How did I get back here?::
Plushie sighed, ::Daddy and that mean little girl saved you:: he lept infront of the stone-ouji & smiled excitedly,
::You should have seen it! When he heard what they were doing to you Daddy LEAPED into action and SAVED you! He also knocked
out everyone at auction! It was AMAZING! IT WAS PHENOMINAL!:: Plushie waved his arms in the air, ::Too bad that meanie girl
had to come WITH him::
::DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT MY B-CHAN THAT WAY YOU STUFFED REJECT!!!:: Vegeta growled at him.
::Ha! YOU weren't the one she and her friends kidnapped from Daddy's room and then brought to HER OWN room and
dressed in DOLL clothes and put MAKEUP on!:: Plushie spat, shivering from the terrifying memory, ::But then Daddy SAVED me!::
he grinned, ::He ALWAYS saves his Plushie::
::Yeah, Kaka-chan's saved me too...lots and lots of times:: the ouji made a content mental smile.
::He didn't save you this time:: Plushie said, interupting the ouji's dreaming train of throught.
::AWW SHADDUP!::
::Hee!:: Plushie grinned, then zipped back to his spot just as the door flung open and Goku sluggishly walked in,
depressed, then looked up.
" VEGGIE! " he ran at the stone-ouji and hugged him, " HI VEGGIE! Oh Veggie you're still here! Aren'tcha PROUD of me!
I got rid of those mean old auctionees who were trying to buy you and take you away from me. " he flashed a grin, " But
NOBODY can put a price on BUDDYSHIP, can they little Veggie? " the large saiyajin giggled, giving the ouji another squeeze.
Plushie raised an eyebrow at Vegeta, who's mind had gone completely blank.
::Hehhhhhhh.....:: Goku pulled away from the ouji & fell down animé style when he noticed the statue's face had
turned bright red.
" GAH! " he got to his feet, " Plu-chan! Do you know what this means? " he turned to Plushie, who just sat there.
" ... "
" That's right....VEGGIE'S _AHH-LLLIVE_!!! " Goku threw his arms in the air, " Hoo-RAY for Veggie! " he cheered,
" Cheer with me Plushie! HIP-HIP-- "
" ... "
" --HOORAY! HIP-HIP-- "
" ... "
" --HOORAY! " the large saiyajin shouted, then did a little victory jig around the room. Vegeta and Plushie
sweatdropped, " Doodeedoodeedoodee DOO Doodeedoodeedoodee DOO! " he continued his victory jig for several minutes, then
stopped, remembering why he had come up here in the first place, " That's right! I have to change my clothes! " he pointed to
his Veggie-outfit, " So, Veggie, what's your opinion? Am I pretty in blue? " Goku giggled to himself.
::Silly Daddy!:: Plushie smiled.
:: ... :: the ouji's brain had once again went out on a lunch break. Plushie sighed in pity.
" Now where did I put my gi...hmm. " Goku took a good look around the room, then glanced upward to see his clothes
hanging over one of the wings of the ceiling fan, " AHH! There they are! " he grabbed his other pair of clothes and threw
them down on the bed behind Vegeta and Plushie. He ripped off his saiyajin training gear, grabbed the clothes on the bed and
marched out of the bedroom and towards the bathroom buck naked.
" HELLO CHI-CHAN, I'M GOING TO GET CHANGED! " he waved to the group from upstairs. All who instantly turned their
backs towards him, groaning in disgust.
" Aww, jeez! " Yamcha covered his eyes.
" Like we really needed to see that! " Juuhachigou groaned, shaking her head, " Gero never told us Son was a
_nudist!_ " she slapped her hands over her eyes.
" It's a farm thing... " Kuririn laughed nervously.
" I guess when you live out in the mountains anything goes. " Piccolo grumbled.
" GOKU GET YOUR CLOTHES ON RIGHT NOW!!! " Chi-Chi screamed at the top of her lungs, enraged and embarassed at the
same time.
" Well I couldn't get changed in the bedroom, I left Veggie in there. " Goku said, then closed the bathroom door
behind him.
Chi-Chi stared at the door for a moment, contemplating, then hung her head and moaned, speechless, " --and he gets..
OH infront of the OUJI...oh God help me does he have any sense of personal privacy! "
" Never did, never will. " Kuririn sighed in reply.
" I AM REFRESHED AND FULLY CLOTHED! " Goku whooped, exiting the bathroom a couple minutes later.
" Thank GOD! " Piccolo clasped his hands together.
Juuhachigou clapped for Goku, merely humoring him.
" Thank you! Thank you! You're all too kind! " he bowed for them, then lept down off the banister and onto the ground
before them, " You'll never believe what I thought up while I was in the bathroom? " he grinned wildly at them.
" No, what? " Juuhachigou said sarcastically.
" A SOLUTION TO SAVE MY VEGGIE!! " Goku screamed, ecstatic.
" Uhhh... " the group turned a pale white.
" Ra--really? Have you, Goku. That--that's GREAT. " Chi-Chi forced herself to say, panicking on the inside, " What's
your, err, brilliant idea? "
" THE DRAGONBALLS! "
" ... "
" You know, the dragonballs? The thing our show's named after? " he said, hinting.
" ...OH! Yes, of course. How could we have EVER forget about those... " Chi-Chi trailed off.
" I propose we collect them together, bring them to Dende's (so no one will get suspicous of the giant floating green
lizard) and WISH Veggie back to normal. " Goku explained, " It will be such FUN! And with my teleportation powers I can
collect them within mere seconds! " he put his fingers on his forehead and teleported out of the room, " See you at
Denny's!! "
" Ohhhhhhh, " Chi-Chi groaned, " I knew it was too good to last.... "
" Mr. Popo is astounded at the detail of Son Goku's amazing sculpture. " Popo said, observing the Veggie-statue.
" Awww, I didn't sculpt this, Popo-San. " Goku made a cheesy grin, embarassed, " This is VEGGIE! The real VEGGIE! "
Dende walked up to the ouji, glaring at him, then suddenly burst into laughter and walked off. Vegeta did his best to
hold in the anger. The rage boiling up inside him like an overcooked tomato.
::Once Kakay saves me I SHALL BLAST YOUR TINY GREEN HEAD HALFWAY ACROSS THE UNIVERSE!!!:: Vegeta screamed inside his
mind. Plushie rolled his eyes.
::Not if Daddy stops you first!:: he said happily.
::Grr:: Vegeta replied angrily.
" Now you just wait here little Veggie 'o mine while I go check for the others. " Goku smiled at him, " Oh, wait...
haha, that's so silly of me. Of COURSE you can't go anywhere, you're still a STATUE! "
::Thanks for REMINDING me, Kakarrot:: Vegeta grumbled, then looked up to see Bulma's plane landing, the whole crew
smushed inside it, ::Oh look, it's the peanut gallery::
" Really? Oh that's great!....uh-huh...uh-huh...I'll see in a couple minutes then, bye! " Chi-Chi said into her cell
phone as she got out of the plane.
" Chi-chan you're HERE! " Goku said happily, running over to her. She held up a "wait" sign and Goku screeched to a
halt, " Chi-Chi who're you talking to? "
" Yeah I'm still here...ok...sure, fine...yes he's right over...well I can see him from here...hold on I'll check. "
she looked up at Goku, " You didn't change the Ouji back yet, did you? "
" No. I was waiting for you guys. " Goku said, then smiled, " I wanna have a big "Veggie's Back" party for him after
we change him back to normal to show how much we love him and I bought him a nice pretty cake and-- "
" --no they haven't changed him back yet. " Chi-Chi went back to her cell phone, " Ok...yes we're at the top of the
large floating hunk of rock. "
" It's an ISLAND! " Dende snapped, then sighed when he realized she wasn't paying any attention. His highly sensitive
namekian ears picked up a large vibartion in the air above him and looked up to see a second plane coming down to land, " AHH
WHO'S THAT!! " he gawked as the plane landed and out stepped a man wearing a long jacket with big wads of money hanging out
of the pockets. Chi-Chi waved to him and they both shut the cell phones they were holding off.
" Goku I'd like you to meet Mr. Lé Fromage, he owns a VERY LARGE and VERY RICH hotel in Paris, he's going to take
that statue of yours of your hands; for 10 million dollars! " she flipped through a large wad of money the man had given her.
" AHHH! CHI-CHAN YOU SAID YOU WERE DONE TRYING TO SELL VEGGIE!! " he gasped, then turned to Fromage, " I'm not giving
little Veggie to anyone and besides I'm going to change him back right now anyways! "
" Oop! No your not! " Chi-Chi grabbed one of the dragonballs from the pile. Piccolo and Juuhachigou grabbed two
others. All three of them now had their own wads of money.
" Sorry Son, " Piccolo smirked, " Don't take this personally Vegeta, no, wait, DO take this personally. Seeing as
this is probably the last we'll see of you anyway. "
" NO! YOU CAN'T TAKE HIM! " Goku shouted, offended, and latched onto the ouji protectively, " We're so close to
getting our Veggie back how can you dream of giving him away to some complete stranger! I mean, would you give your puppy
away if someone were to offer you a lot of money? "
" Well....we don't HAVE a puppy. " Piccolo pointed out.
" How would you know if that COMPLETE STRANGER would take care of him. I could never forgive myself if something
HORRIBLE happened to little Veggie because I let him be taken out of our tender loving care. " he snuggled against the
stone-ouji. Vegeta mentally grinned dopeishly. Chi-Chi sensed the euphoria coming from the ouji and glared at him, then
recomposed herself.
" Nonsense, it's not like we'll NEVER see him again. " she said, trying to comfort Goku and get him to stop his
protective embrace around the statue, " With all this dough we'll have plenty of money to travel to Paris every once in a
while so you can check up on him. "
" Veggie always wanted to travel with me one day--BUT NOT LIKE THIS! " Goku exclaimed.
::And we will travel Kakarrotto-chan, after you change me back and I finally DESTORY the EVIL ONE:: he quickly
glanced at Chi-Chi.
::You wouldn't!:: Plushie gawked at him from his spot on the ground by Goku's foot.
::Of COURSE I will, but not directly. It will most likely be she has a little "accident". Did you know 2 out of 3
"accidents" occur inside the home?:: Vegeta snickered.
::I do now:: Plushie sweatdropped.
" Too late! " Chi-Chi said happily as a helicopter dropped down what looked like a large crane which headed towards
the ouji.
::AHHHH!! AHHH! AHHHHHHH!!!:: Vegeta panicked, ::KAKA-CHAN!! DO SOMETHING! AND DO IT NOW!!!::
" NOOOO!! " Goku clung tighter, then felt something tap him on the shoulder, " Chi-chan? " he stared at her with big
watery eyes.
" Come over here sweetie, it's going to be alright. " she took him by the wrist and led him away from the statue.
" Veh--Veh--Veh--Veh--GEEEEEEE!!! " tears started to flow down his cheeks, " Don't take him! "
" It's all for the best Go-chan, really. " Chi-Chi said comfortingly.
" BULMA, MIRAI, GOHAN, BURA HELP!!! " Goku screamed. The quartet poked their heads out of the front door to
Kami-sama's palace where they had been waiting for the rest of the group. Their jaws fell to the floor when they saw the
scene infront of them. The Veggie-statue being lifted into a helicopter, a strange man with an airplane, and Chi-Chi doing
her best to calm Goku down and keep him from flying off after the ouji.
" WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!! " Bulma shrieked.
" THEY SOLD VEGGIE!! " Goku wailed.
" Err, we've got to stop them! " Mirai shouted, running out of Kami's and towards the helicopter.
" Right! " Gohan agreed, quickly following him.
" ... " Bura stood there, eyes wide open. Her attention quickly turned to Son and she flew at Chi-Chi from the side
and knocked her to the floor, then grabbed Goku and tried to pull him upward with her, " COME ON MR. GOTEN'S DADDY! YOU'VE
GOTTA SAVE YOUR VEGGIE! YOU'VE GOTTA SAVE YOUR LITTLE BUDDY! I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!! " she pulled him up.
Goku glanced downward, " You hurt Chi-chan... " he trailed off, " How could you! Just because she made a mistake
doesn't mean I hate her! I've gotta make sure she's oh-kay... "
" FORGET ABOUT HER! THINK OF TOUSSAN! HE _NEEDS_ YOU MORE THAN ANYONE IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW! HE LOVES YOU! YOU
_HAVE_ TO SAVE HIM! " Bura ordered.
" But--- " Goku watched the helicopter and plane fly away.
" I have a plan. " Bulma quickly pulled out a capsule and tossed it to the ground to reveal a large yellow chopper.
" A chopper! Brilliant, we can all board it and catch up to them in no time. " Gohan said, boarding the chopper
along with Bulma and Mirai. Bura glared up at the helicopter in the distance, then ran full speed into the vehicle,
pushing past everyone else in the process.
Goku gathered up the balls in in a small knapsack, then took the ones Chi-Chi, Piccolo, and Juuhachigou were
holding, " I'll take those, thank you. " he said bluntly, tossing them inside the bag as well.
" Oh you'll NEVER get him back, Son. Except it and move on with your life! " Piccolo said. Goku leered towards him,
then smirked.
" Would you like to go back to being my little buddy, Piccy? " he grinned sneakily.
" NO! NO NO NO! " Piccolo waved his hands in protest, " Uh, I mean, good luck Son Goku. "
" Thank you Piccy. "
" Heh-heh-heh, "Piccy". " Juuhachigou chuckled. Piccolo grumbled to himself.
" AWAY WE GO! " Goku lept onto the chopper as well, " Bye Chi-chan! Don't bother fixing dinner for me! After I save
Veggie we're all gonna treat him to dinner and eat there. " he waved to her, then perked up, " Maybe we'll stay
overnight! "
" EEK!! " horrifying images flashed through Chi-Chi's mind, " NO! YOU'RE NOT STAYING OVERNIGHT ANYWHERE WITH THAT
EVIL MANIPULATING OUJI!!! "
" Well I'm not staying overnight with the meanie who tried to SELL MY LITTLE BUDDY either. " Goku said stubbornly,
then yelped as Chi-Chi pushed him aside.
" Move it! " she shouted.
" Huh? "
" I'm coming with you! _IF_ you _DO_ find that ouji AND change him back there's no TELLING what he might do! The
mere thought of me leaving you all alone with THE EVIL ONE in some fancy French hotel while I sit at home and twiddle
my thumbs is enough to make me SICK! "
" But Chi-chan, we're not going to be "ALONE". Bulma, Bura, Gohan and Mirai are all coming with me and-- "
" --SILENCE! "
" Yes Chi-chan. " he sat down & glanced at the floor.
" NOW GET THIS THING MOVING SO WE CAN GET BACK HOME! " Chi-Chi demanded as the chopper started up. Mirai and
Bulma sending her disgusted glares, Gohan groaning in humiliation, Goku in a psychological state of panic, and Bura
snarling coldly at Chi-Chi.
" Don't worry Veggie. " Goku said, looking down at Plushie, who he took out of his pocket, " I'll save you, I
promise! "

END OF PART 3!
Chuquita: Wow, looks like there will be a Part 4 after all. (grins) Oh! I'd like to thank Nekoni for the clip of the
"cheek-to-cheek" ki blast. It was funny. I'll probably be writing another part to my Buu/Buddy episode parodies "You Gonna
Eat That" either after I finish Part 4 of this, or after the newest story plot I have lined up, the one where Veggie wakes
up in Goku's body but Goku isn't in his and, well...it's really quite confusing. I'll explain that story at the end of
Part 4. BTW, another freaky litte thing I noticed. In the episodes following after Veggie & Son-kun are unfused they start
doing things in sync with whatever side their portara earring was on. When they choose which tunnel to go down as they get
to Buu's brain, Goku goes left, Veggie goes right. When they both attack Buu at once with their double-kick move, Goku's on
the left, Veggie's on the right. And when they did their "cheek-to-cheek" ki blast Goku was on the left and once again Veggie
was on the right. I personally don't think they fully 100% unfused when they were in Buu. How did they even THINK of that
cheek-to-cheek four hand ki attack so fast anyway!
Vegeta: You're rambling again.
Chuquita: Oh hush up....it was a cool attack though.
Vegeta: IT WAS NOT! IT WAS MENTALLY--no--PSYCHOLOGICALLY PAINFUL! (quietly) The therapist said the feeling would go away--BUT
IT DIDN'T!! (shakes his fist in the air)
Chuquita: Uh...oh-kay. (scratches her head) It was really that terrible?
Vegeta: (mumbling to himself; musing) Oh the colors were beautiful and--did you say something?
Chuquita: I dunno, you started on about "the colors" and after that I wasn't really listening.
Vegeta: (wipes the nervous sweat off his face) Oh, *whew*....we make terrible listeners, don't we?
Chuquita: Nah! It all depends on who or what your listening to.
Vegeta: Hmm, point.
Chuquita: So, (glancing out the window to Bejee & Chi-Chi) your sent your other self to go tie Chi-Chi to the bike rack, huh?
Vegeta: Yup. [watches Bejee tie a bike chain around Chi] He's not doing such a bad job of it either.
Chuquita: I'll say.
Vegeta: [gets up]
Chuquita: Hey, where are you going?
Vegeta: To retrieve Kakarrot, like I said earlier.
Chuquita: [glances up at the two Sons, who are staring down at them from the steps in the audiance with equal confusion] Good
luck finding ours.
Vegeta: MINE.
Chuquita: Whatever.
Vegeta: [walks up to the two Sons] (sternly) Kakarrotto?
Generic & Son: (happily) Yes?
Vegeta: Hmm...(deep in thought) [rubs his chin] YOU! [points at the Goku on the left] WHAT IS MY NAME!
Goku1: (giggles) Aww, you know THAT silly!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) [grabs him by the collar & pulls him down to his height] WHAT IS THE TITLE OF WHICH YOU REFER TO ME BY!
Goku1: (confused) Huh?
Vegeta: WHAT DO YOU CALL ME!
Goku1: (blankly) Vegeta.
Vegeta: HA! IMPOSTER! [shoves him back] NOW YOU! [points to Goku2] WHAT DO _YOU_ CALL ME!
Goku2: Vegeta.
Vegeta: (slaps himself on the forehead) Ohhhh I feel a migraine coming on. (glares at them)
Generic & Son: (grins)
Vegeta: (disgusted) Ugh....(to himself) oh-kay, deep breaths. Just like the therapist said...deep...(sighs)...healing..
..breaths.
Generic & son: (cock their heads in opposite directions)
Vegeta: Alright. I'm ready.
Goku1: (happily) I'M READY!
Goku2: (happily) I'M READY TOO!
Vegeta: AAUGH!! [stomps his foot] LISTEN TO ME!!! _NOW_!!!
[both Sons turn towards him]
Both: Yes??
Vegeta: _WHICH_ ONE OF YOU KNOWS WHAT A _LITTLE BUDDY_ IS!
Goku1: (waving his arm in the air) OOH OOH! PICK ME PICK ME!!
Vegeta: (sarcasm) Ahh, we have found the jackpot.
Goku1: (looking around the room) Where? Where?
Goku2: (confused) I don't see anything.
Vegeta: ERRRRR! [slaps Goku1]
Goku1: OWW! VEGGIE THAT HURT!! (whimpers)
Vegeta: Baka, NOW CUT THAT OUT!!! (shakes his fist in the air)
Goku2: (to 1) You're right, he _IS_ entertaining.
Vegeta: (groans) (ordering) KAKARROT! SIT AT THE DESK!
Goku1: (sighs & pouts) Yes little Veggie. [sluggishly waddles back to his seat]
Vegeta: (observes 2) Hmm, interesting. You look EXACLTY the same. (smirks) Why don't you give me a hug?
Goku2: Why, are you feeling sick or something Vegeta?
Vegeta: (narrows his eyes) Just do it.
[2 hugs him; then lets go]
Vegeta: (smiles) Mmm...feels the same. (looks up at him) Do you hug often?
Goku2: No.
Vegeta: That explains it then.
Goku2: (baffled) Explains what? What'd I do?
Vegeta: Nothing. [makes his way back to the desk] Move along with whatever it is you were doing.
Goku2: But I wasn't doing ANYTHING.
Vegeta: Just sit down.
Goku2: Ok. [plops himself down in a spare seat]
Chuquita: (to Goku) Glad to have you back Son-San!
Goku: Glad to be back Chu-sama!
Vegeta: (grinning) Unfortuantely he won't be back for long.
Goku: Huh?
Vegeta: [holds out a pair of plane tickets] (smirks) We're going for a little ride, Kaka-chan.
Goku: OOOoooooH! RIDES WIT VEGGIE! (grins) Where we going Veggie?
Chuquita: (suspicously) I thought you were going to bring him outside to 'temporarily share' with Bejee?
Vegeta: HA! I tricked him, the fool.
Chuquita: WHAT?! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO--TO YOU--err, HIM, err, BEJEE!!
Vegeta: (shrugs) Simple. He could not possibly fathom the usefulness of a REAL Kakay.
Goku: (spontaniousity) PICKLES!
Vegeta: SHUSH!
Goku: ...
Vegeta: I intend to take a little exotic vacation with my own personal servant-maid here. In't that right Kakay?
Goku: (not paying attention) What?
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Just follow me. The limo's waiting for us out front.
Goku: (squeals) YAY! LIMO! [follows Veggie out of the room]
Chuquita: WAIT! Where ARE you going? EXACTLY?
Vegeta: (proudly) I used some of Bulma's money to recently purchase my own tropical island. It's small, but it's fit for
royalty...besides, all the big ones are taken.
Goku: (grins) I'M BIG!
Vegeta: (smiles back) Yes you are! That's why there's extra elbow room in the backseat of the limo. COME KAKARROT!
Goku: Yes Veggie!
[both leave]
Chuquita: (sitting at her desk; staring at the half-open front door) ...well, I guess that wraps up part 3, huh. (turns to
audiance) Be sure to tune in next time for the finale of "Lawn Jockey"! Not to mention a preview of the next story! [limo
engine starts to roar outside] And...maybe we'll find a way to foil Veggie's plan too.
Goku2: One can only hope.

Quote of the Week: -from "Peanuts"
Charlie Brown: I can't believe it..you've been selected for jury duty! This is ridiculous! Don't they know you're a dog?
Snoopy: ::What's wrong with that?::
Charlie Brown: Obviously, there's been a mistake...
Snoopy: ::I'll go if they give away free cookies..::
Chuey's Corner:
Goku: YAH! YAH! YAH! YAH! [repeatedly slaming his generic version's head against the outside wall]
Chuquita: (watching the fight from inside the Corner) I'm beginning to think this wasn't such a good idea after all.
(sweatdrops, then ducks as Son chucks his 'twin' through the wall and into the audiance and dives at him) (laughs nervously)
Well, that was a little too close for comfort.
Bejeeta: I'm rather enjoying myself. (content smile)
Vegeta: (grins) I'm a happy little ouji! [pats the unconsious Chi-Chi on the back] Isn't that right creature of darkness?
(excited giggle)
Chi-Chi: Uhhhhh... (groans and slowly opens her eyes)
Chuquita: (runs out into the audiance to take cover along with both Sons, who are now hiding behind a row) (waves to Veggie)
I'll just watch from back here thanks!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops)
Chi-Chi: (slowly opens her eyes to see a grinning blob staring at her) Huh? (focuses) YOU! [points at the ouji]
Vegeta: (happily) ME.
Chi-Chi: (grabs him by the collar) YOU LITTLE CREEP! I SHOULD PUMMEL YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID---wait...what did you do again?
Vegeta: (innocently) Nothin. (smirks) YET.
Chi-Chi: (boiling with anger) OOHHHHHH!!!
Bejeeta: [taps her one the shoulder]
Chi-Chi: (turns around) WHAT!!
Bejeeta: (wiggles his fingers) Hi again.
Chi-Chi: EEP! [stares at Bejee in shock, then turns back to Veggie, who has a proud grin on his face] (growls and slams him
against the wall] Alright! How did you do it?
Vegeta: Do what?
Chi-Chi: I know what you're up to. You're using that "after-image" trick of Goku's to make it seem like there's another you
behind me! Well I know better than that you stupid little ouji.
Vegeta: (snickers) Do you?
Bejeeta: [gets up out of his chair and walks over to them; stops beside Chi-Chi] You know, even for an Earthling that grip
of yours isn't very strong enough to do me THAT much damage. (nods)
Chi-Chi: (angry) OHH! YOU! [attempts to swat him away, only to slap him instead] AHH! [looks down at her hand] You're not
REAL! _HE'S_ REAL!!! [points to Veggie; shocked]
Vegeta: Actually, Onna, we're BOTH real.
Chi-Chi: WHAT? IMPOSSIBLE!!!
Vegeta: Ha! NOTHING is impossible for the GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI! (cheesy smile)
Chi-Chi: (rolls her eyes) Oh brother. ACK! (yelps)
Bejeeta: [grabs her from underneath the arms, pulling Veggie free] Gotcha.
Chi-Chi: LET GO OF ME YOU--YOU--WHATEVER YOU ARE!!
Bejeeta: Sorry, I can't do that. (chuckles) (to Veggie) Shall I blow her to pieces, or would you like the honor?
Vegeta: (grins) I have a better idea. I would like to keep the WITCH hostage so she can watch my ULTIMATE victory over my
WONDERFUL little peasant.
Chi-Chi: WHY YOU--(looks around, furious) GOKU!!!
Generic and Son: [poke their heads out from behind the row] (in unison) Yes Chi-chan?
Chi-Chi: (face turns a pale green) Uhhh--oh. (faints again)
Vegeta: Perfect! Bring her to the lair! I shall retrieve Kaka-chan and meet you there.
Bejeeta: Where IS the lair?
Chuquita: (yelling from behind the row; next to the Sons) YOU HAVE NO LAIR YOU LITTLE CHEESHEAD!
Vegeta: (thinks) ...oh yeah. Well, then, uh, TAKE HER TO THE PARKING LOT AND--uh, TIE HER TO THE BIKE RACK! Yes...
Bejeeta: (uneasy) Well, ok... (shrugs & drags Chi-Chi off the set) (to himself) He's getting kinda 'odd' again.
Summary: Veggie accidently spills one of Bulma's chemicals on himself and now he's turning to stone! Will Bulma find a way
to reverse the effects before the ouji turns into a statue PERMANENTLY? Will Goku loose his little buddy Veggie forever?
Will Chi-Chi finally achieve her dream of a Veggie-less world? Will Veggie end up as nothing more than a lawn decoration?
Find out!
Ages:
Bura: 8
Goten: 9
Trunks: 9
Chuquita: (scoffs) HA! "The lair"...
Vegeta: HEY! YOU JUST WAIT TILL I ACTUALLY GET ONE! I'LL TIE THE BOTH OF YOU TO A _REAL_ RACK AND SEE HOW FAR YOU STRETCH
BEFORE YOUR MERE HUMAN BODIES SNAP LIKE TWIGS IN MY CLUTCHES!!!
Goku: (irritated) Aww CALM DOWN Veggie!
Vegeta: (smiles) Yes Kaka-chan.
(Chu sweatdrops)
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Veggie? VEGGIE!!! " Goku screamed. The statue just stared back at him. Chi-Chi's gang from the other room began to
slowly seep out into the hall and into the living room to get a look at the stone-ouji, " OHHHHHHHHH!!! VEH-GEE!!! " he
sobbed, hugging the statue and trying not to crush it with his grip at the same time. Bura, Gohan, Mirai, and Bulma came
running up the stairs towards them after hearing Son's bawling, " Veggie I'm sorry! Oh I'm so SO sorry little Veggie! " the
large saiyajin cried, " I don't think I've ever been sorryier than I do right now! This is horrible! AND IT'S ALL MY FAULT!
I'VE DAMAGED YOU BEYOND BELIEF! "
" No you haven't honey, now move. " Chi-Chi said, unlatching his arms from around the statue and pushing him to the
side and looking down at the ouji, " Well well well, look who's finally bit the big one. " she snickered, " It looks like you
were wrong about your "destiny" after all, hmm? " she patted him on the shoulder, " No, wait. You were wrong for the most
part. You may be going to Europe after all, but it's not going to be playing tourist with my Go-chan, it's going to be as a
WATER FOUNTAIN in a hotel. "
" NOOOOOOO! " Goku screamed in horror, latching back onto the ouji-statue, " YOU CAN'T TAKE HIM AWAY! NOBODY CAN TAKE
HIM AWAY!! "
" *ding-dong*! "
" It's the auctionees! " Piccolo grinned.
" Quick! Someone get the door! " Juuhachigou shouted.
" THEY'RE COMING FOR VEGGIE! " Goku shrieked, " What'll I do! What'll I do! " he panicked.
" Go upstairs and stay in Vegeta's room until we fend them off. " Juuhachigou said sneakily.
" Really? " Goku's eyes widened.
" Really. Now go up there and don't come out till we tell you. " she smirked.
" HAI! " Goku said, then dashed upstairs and slammed the door behind him.
" Pheh, what a boob. " Juuhachigou rolled her eyes. Everyone stared at her, confused, " Quick, help me get him out
the door and up to the platform. I, err, WE have MONEY TO MAKE! "
" YEAH! " the group cheered, then carried the ouji-statue out the backdoor.
" GOHAN STOP THEM! " Bulma exclaimed.
" Well, I never really liked Vegeta THAT much... " he trailed off.
" Ugh! MIRAI! STOP THEM! " she turned to her son from the future of the alternate dimension.
" What if they try to auction ME off to! " Mirai gulped, " I _AM_ quite attactive. " he boasted.
" Oh brother. " Bulma groaned.
" I'LL GO! " Bura raised her arm high in the air, " As the GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI'S DAUGHTER--the GREAT
AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJO--it is my royal princess duty to save Toussan from the EVIL MONEY GRUBBING monsters who are
trying to use him to make MONEY. I will DESTORY THEM and free Toussan of his clumsily layen curse so he and his be-love-ed
peasant; Mr. Goten's Daddy; can live happily ever after. " she announced, then proudly marched up to her room, " I'm off to
get my supplies! "
Mirai, Gohan, and Bulma watched as she closed the door behind her.
" I don't care how much she looks like you, " Mirai said to Bulma, " She's Vegeta from the inside out. "
" I wonder if they've gotten rid of those meanie auction people yet. " Goku said to himself, sitting on Vegeta's bed,
which the ouji wouldn't like too much if he was there with him. He looked around the room and sighed, " And even after they
get rid of the auction people, Veggie might never be able to get back to normal again. " the saiyajin sighed, " I'll never
be able to come in here at 4:00 in the morning when Veggie's still snoozing and lean real close and squeal at the top of my
lungs and watch with entertainment as his little Veggie body slams into the ceiling in fright. " he smiled up at the various
Veggie-shaped indents on the ceiling above the bed, " Yeah...that was magical. " he leaned back & rested on the pillows,
" And that weird little love-hate thing he used to act around me...and all those silly arguments he had with Chi-chan...and
that one time when we fused, boy was that fun. I think 'lil Veggie must've wet his pants after I told him it was permanent...
..and then it turned out it wasn't permanent after all and Veggie did his little victory jig....and how he always used to
call me Kakarrot. I'd be Kakarrotto when he was really mad, but when he was happy it was Kakay, or Kaka-chan, or
Kakarrotto-chan. I liked how he only had one word for when he was angry at me, but THREE when he was happy....nobody's ever
gonna call me their Kakay or Kaka-chan or Kaka ANYTHING ever again... " he sniffled, then grabbed one of Vegeta's pillows
and blew his nose in it, " *sniff* Oh VEGGIE! " he sobbed, then took a whiff of the pillow and hugged it.
" FELLOW AUCTIONEES! " Chi-Chi shouted into the microphone as she stood infront of a large make-shift red curtain on
the platform the group had quickly constructed on Capsule Corp's front lawn, " WHO HAS THEIR MONEY! "
" HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! " they all cheered, raising their hands into the air with the green paper packed in wads in
each hand.
" NOW WHO WANTS TO SPEND IT! "
" HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! "
" AND WHO IS GOING TO WIN _THIS_ STATUE! " she said. Piccolo and Juuhachigou pulled the ropes on either side of the
curtain apart to reveal the stone-ouji.
" I AM!!!!! " the crowd shouted at once.
" ALRIGHT! " Chi-Chi smirked, making a fist, " Yamcha? Will you do the honors? " she handed him the microphone.
" Alrightletsbeginningthebiddingat1,1.5,2.Whollgiveme2?DoIseea2inthecrowd?DoIgotta3anybodyanyonethisisyourchangeblow

play-by-play to the Kentucky Derby.
" Where did he learn how to do that? " Kuririn sweatdropped.
" The races. " Chi-Chi replied.
" Oh yeah, that was his and Bulma's 15th breakup, wasn't it? " Kuririn said, trying to remember straight.
" Yes, it was. " Chi-Chi sighed, then perked up, " But he DOES make a pretty could Auctioneer. "
" YOAH!!! " Bura burst out of her room in a pink ninja costume, complete with weapons. She paused to hear a loud
sniffing sound as Vegeta's bedroom door opened and Goku walked out, the pillow still in his arms. The saiyajin was taking
momentary whiffs of the pillow, " Mr. Goten's Daddy what are you doing? " she said, disturbed.
Goku glanced down at her, " It smells like Veggie. I'm using it to calm down until Chi-chan finishes getting rid of
the auctionees. "
Bura snorted, " She's not getting RID of them, Mr. Goten's Daddy. That's a LIE! They're having the auction right
now! "
" NO! " Goku shrieked, turning stark white.
" I'm on my way to stop them, care to join me? " she smirked, pointing to her attire.
" I don't believe Chi-chan and the others would do something so heartless. " Goku said in denial, rubbing his nose on
the ouji's pillow. Bura groaned and dragged him over to a nearby window, then pointed down to the auctioning setup below.
Goku gasped.
" OH NO!!! THEY DID! THEY ARE!! HOW _COULD_ THEY! I thought they loved me.... " he said, shocked.
" Then AID ME in my quest and we shall TOPPLE them and RESCUE Toussan! " Bura said, charged up.
" YES! I WILL HELP BURA SAVE VEGGIE! " Goku cheered.
" HOORAY! " Bura lept into the air, then grabbed him by the wrist, " Now follow me, we've got to get you in costume."
she said, dragging him into her room.
Goku sweatdropped, " Costume?! "
" I am _NOT_ going outside like this. " Goku pouted, looking at himself in the mirror.
" Oh forget about it! " Bura grumbled, then smiled, " I happen to think you look VERY BEAUTIFUL. "
" No. I am _NOT_ leaving this house dressed as a PINK ninja. " he said sternly.
" Aww, but Toussan will LOVE IT ON YOU! " Bura giggled, hugging his leg.
" "Toussan" is an inanimate object. " Goku folded his arms, then got struck with a thought, " I'VE GOT IT! " he
snapped his fingers together and dashed back into Vegeta's room.
" Got WHAT?! Where are you GOING! " Bura exclaimed, then followed him into the room and gawked. Goku was now wearing
one of Vegeta's navy blue training outfits. She sweatdropped.
" Now if _THIS_ doesn't scream "I'm-here-to-save-Veggie", then I don't know WHAT does! " he grinned, giving her a
thumbs-up sign.
" How did you fit that on yourself...I mean...you're at least 3 sizes bigger than Toussan. " Bura said, baffled.
" Yeah, I know. Veggie had one in the closet that was just my size. Kooky, huh? " Goku said happily, " I mean, what
are the odds. "
" Awwwww, I bet Toussan bought it JUST FOR YOU. " Bura clasped her hands together, musing.
" NAW! " Goku said, quickly dismissing the idea, " He probably thought all that training of his would eventually help
him get taller and he was keeping this for when it finally happened so he could show off his new-found height-ness. " Goku
explained.
" I swear, sometimes you're in you're own little world. " Bura shook her head in disgust.
Goku smirked at her as he walked past her and out of the room, " Sometimes I think you are too. "
" So? What are we up to now? " Kuririn asked, unable to understand Yamcha's fast-talking and the crowd's constant
shouting.
" I think we're somewhere in the billions. " Piccolo replied.
" Heeheeheeheehee. " Chi-Chi rubbed her hands together greedily, " Who'd have dreamed that evil prince could bring us
such CASH! "
" I know. " Juuhachigou agreed, " It's amazing. "
" Yeah, it looks like all his arrogance is finally "paying off". " Kuririn made a cheesy grin, then paused to see
the others staring at him sarcastically, " Heh-heh...heh.. " he laughed nervously.
" Stick to the day job, honey. " Juuhachigou sighed.
Kuririn whimpered, " Yes dear. "
" ! " Piccolo felt something from above grab his attention and looked up to see two small figures peering down
through the window a good seven or eight stories up. He squinted his eyes and focused his hearing at the duo.
" This is so horrible, I hope we can save Veggie in time. " the larger one said with consern.
" Don't worry! With your super strength and MY super brain power NOTHING can stop us! " the smaller one replied.
" Son Goku and Bura. " Piccolo smirked. His expression then hardened, " They're going to try to stop the auction. "
he sighed.
" What? " Chi-Chi turned to him suddenly.
" I said that Son and Bura are up there. " he nodded upward. Chi-Chi looked in that direction, " I don't see
anything. " she said, confused.
" Well they were right--huh? " Piccolo said, the two had indeed disappeared, " Now where could they-- "
" --HI PICCY-CHAN! " a voice squealed from behind him. Piccolo shrieked with surprise, then turned around to see Goku
grinning at him.
" SON!! " he yelled at the saiyajin, " WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TRYING TO DO!! "
" I missed surprising Veggie and so, as my vice and former little buddy, in the event we can't bring Veggie back to
normal.... " Goku trailed off, smiling micheviously at the namek.
" ...AHH! " Piccolo gasped in realization, " YOU CAN'T! I WENT THROUGH YOUR "LITTLE BUDDY" NIGHTMARE ONCE IN MY LIFE
AND THERE'S NO WAY I'M LETTING YOU PUT ME THROUGH THAT HEHLL A SECOND TIME!!! "
" Heeheehee. " the large saiyajin just giggled at him w/the big sparkily eyes usually reserved for those with the
title of 'little buddy'.
" Ehhhh... " Piccolo groaned in disgust, then did a double-take on Goku when he finally noticed something, " WHAT ARE
YOU WEARING!!! " he gawked.
" You mean THIS? " Goku proudly pointed to his Veggie-wear, " Don't I look pretty! "
" NO YOU DO _NOT_ LOOK "PRETTY"!!! " Chi-Chi screamed, shocked at his attire, " Go-chan...why are you wearing OUJI
clothes? "
" Aww, this is my "I'm-here-to-save-Veggie" costume. Like it? " he tugged at the white gloves on his hands.
" I think I'm going to have a heart-attack. " Chi-Chi said weakly.
" Actually, it's more like a head-attack. " Goku corrected her. Chi-Chi glanced up just as she felt something slam
into the top of her head and knock her unconsious. Bura laughed maniacally and lept off of Chi-Chi's head and to the ground.
" PREPARE TO MEET YOUR FATE YOU RAVENIOUS WOLVES OF DOOM! FOR I, THE PINK NINJA SHALL (along with my cohort Kakay)
SEE TO YOUR DEMISE! " Bura pointed towards them. The rest of the group on the pedistal sweatdropped.
" Bura's lost it. " Kuririn mumbled.
" I knew anyone related to that short little idiot couldn't last long before they went nuts. " Juuhachigou shook her
head, " Insanity's practically ENGRAVED in his gene pool. "
" SHUT UP HALF-ROBOTIC SPAWN OF SCIENCE OR I SHALL PULL A TOUSSAN ON YOU AND BLAST YOU TO BITS!!! " Bura shook her
fist at Juuhachigou.
" Ohhhhhhhhh boy. " Juuhachigou turned in the opposite direction, avoiding all eye-contact with the theatening oujo.
" I shall keep the monsters at bay while you deliever Toussan to safety! " she ordered Goku, who grinned and saluted
her, " Now GO! "
" Yes Pink Ninja! " Goku nodded to her, then grabbed the Veggie-statue with both arms and floated up into the air,
" Come on little buddy, time to take you home. " he teleported off of the stage.
" WAHHH!!! " the Pink Ninja let out a war cry and threw ninja stars at everyone on stage, who barely ducked her aim.
Bura jumped into the air and pulled out what looked like a pink batterang and shot it up into the window, then pulled herself
up with the rope, " Ha! " she landed inside.
" Veggie is safe and sound in his room. " Goku came up from behind her & grinned.
" Good job "Kakay"! Now BLAST THAT AUCTION INTO OBLIVION!!! " she said, determined.
" Right! " Goku got ready to leap out the window, " ...and don't call me Kakay. Only little Veggie is allowed to call
me Kakay. " he narrowed his eyes at her.
" Awwwwww, really? " Bura stared at him w/big sparkily eyes, " That's so romantic! "
Goku sweatdropped, " Whatever gets you through the day. " he eyed her up, disturbed, then again prepared to leap out
through the open window, " A-WAY! " he shouted in a fake superhero voice, then flew above the audiance, " HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! "
Goku screamed as he let loose just enough ki to knock everyone unconsious, but not kill them, " There. The DAY IS SAVED!
THANKS TO PINK NINJA AND, ummm, SUPERDEDOOPER MAN! "
" Superdedooper Man? " Bura cocked an eyebrow.
" It was all I could think up on such short notice. " Goku continued doing his superhero imitation. Bura slapped
herself on the forehead.
" You've got to be kidding me.... " she groaned, then peered down to see the unconsious bodies, " WHAT WAS THAT!!
YOU DIDN'T EVEN DESTROY THEM!!! "
" I don't believe in hurting the ones you love. " Goku said stubbornly.
" Ohhhhhhh, I don't believe thiiiiis. " Bura hung her head and shook it.
" COME! To the Superdedooper Mobile! We shall lump our friends inside it and take them back in the house. " he flew
down towards the stage.
" We don't HAVE a "Superdedooper Mobile"! " Bura complained, jumping down after him and landing seconds later. Goku
emerged from a nearby shed carrying a large wheelbarrow and smiled.
" We do now! "
" Ohhhhhhhh, my head. " Chi-Chi groaned in pain as she opened her eyes to find she was laying on the couch in the
living room. Her groggy auction-mates sitting around the same room in various places, " What happened? "
" We lost the auction. " Juuhachigou said from a nearby rocking chair.
" Lost it?! " Chi-Chi sat up, " What do you mean we LOST it? How can you LOSE and auction when YOUR THE ONE
AUCTIONING THE THINGS OFF IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! "
" Easy, we had a little 'help' from the 'Pink Ninja' and 'Superdedooper Man'. " Piccolo grumbled as he folded his
arms on the sofa.
" Who? " Chi-Chi blinked.
" Bura and Son. You don't remember much because Bura knocked you unconsious when she jumped down out of the window. "
he explained to her, then nodded to himself.
" SHE DID _WHAT_!! " Chi-Chi screamed.
" AGAIN with the questions. " Juuhachigou sighed.
" I can't believe this! I mean, her Otoussan gets turned into a statue and we try to sell him on Ebay and she goes
off the DEEP END! " Chi-Chi said, disgusted, " I mean, it's ONLY Vegeta. "
" Well, actually, I guess since he IS her father, Bura probably DOES have a good reason to go ballistic on us and-- "
Kuririn stopped when he realized he was getting glared at from every corner of the room, " ---uhh, oh-kay then. I'll keep
quiet. "
" Good. " Juuhachigou agreed.
" Ohhhh, I didn't even get to finish my announcing... " Yamcha pouted, the microphone still in his hand. He got up
and walked around the room, then started to sing into the microphone, " You must remember this, a kiss is just a kiss, a sigh
is just a sigh--OOF! " that's when Chi-Chi belted him with her fist, causing him to fall to the floor, " Try the fish...I'll
be here till Friday... " he squeaked out.
" OOH I'M SO MAD AT THAT LITTLE BLUE-HAIRRED OUJI-SPAWN! " Chi-Chi sat there, boiling in contempt, " PEOPLE LIKE HIM
SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO REPRODUCE!!! " she screamed up at the ceiling.
" I hear that... " Yamcha raised his finger weakly, still on the floor.
" HI CHI-CHAN! " Goku said happily, entering the room holding a tray. He sat it down infront of her, " I broughtcha
some T! "
Chi-Chi looked down at the tea and smiled, " Thank you Go-chan. " she took a sip of it, then spat it back out after
she got a look at him, " YOU'RE STILL WEARING THAT OUJI-WEAR!!! " she pointed at him.
" So? "
" SO! Err, GO CHANGE OUT OF THAT SICKENING COSTUME RIGHT NOW!!! " Chi-Chi screamed.
" Did you know Veggie doesn't wear underwear? "
" --what? " she looked at him bizarrely.
" Yeah, you see, I tried to wear my boxers under this, but they didn't fit cuz of the spandex, and I don't think
briefs would either, so that means that Veggie must walk around with no undies underneath thi-- "
" --AAUGHH! GOKU! " Chi-Chi turned green, sickened, " Just go CHANGE back into your OWN clothes. " she looked away,
then took another glance at him, then back to the other direction.
" Oh-kay Chi-chan! " he chirped, " This outfit was gettin kinda tight on me anyways. " he said as he made his way
back up to the prince's room where he had left his gi.
::It's quiet. TOO quiet! Where did they all GO!:: Vegeta stood there, blindly looking out into his own room, thoughts
of panic flooding his brain, ::Oh no! What if I'm packed away somewhere! I could be ANYWHERE right now...but I don't hear
anything. Maybe I'm on a plane!....no, I'd feel it if I was in the air....A TRUCK! ONE OF THOSE BIG MOVING VANS! That must be
it! They're towing me away to some unknown destination as a LAWN DECORATION infront of a 2-bit resturant. Well, I hope it's
at least a four-star one. Something worthy of my class and WHAT AM I SAYING! I'M ABOUT TO BECOME A BUILDING ACCESSORY! I
DON'T DESERVE THIS!! I'M THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI! I HAVE A DESTINY TO FULFILL! THIS IS NOT MY DESTINY! I HAVE
TO GET OUT OF HERE! I can't get out of here, I don't even know where HERE is!::
::Stop whining! You are hurting my ears!:: a squealy voice protested.
::AHH! VOICES! VOICES IN MY HEAD! I'm going mad...:: Vegeta quivered inwardly with fear, then felt a flash of light
before him and instantly found he was in his room, ::My eyes! My eyes are back! The chemical must be wearing off::
::That's not likely:: he glanced down see Plushie standing at his feet, ::I gave you just enough power to see, you
could at LEAST reward me by stop yapping so much!:: he waddled back to his spot on the bed.
::You--YOU CAN STILL MOVE AND TALK! YOU LITTLE BODY-SNATCHER!!:: Vegeta shouted telepathically as Plushie moved out
of view, " HEY! HEY! DON'T YOU LEAVE MY SIGHT-RANGE WHILE I'M YELLING AT YOU!!::
::At least I CAN leave:: Plushie said as-a-matter-of-factly.
::That's right....::: Vegeta trailed off sadly, ::So? Doll-Plush-Toy--::
::Plushie::
::Yes, "Plushie". How did I get back here?::
Plushie sighed, ::Daddy and that mean little girl saved you:: he lept infront of the stone-ouji & smiled excitedly,
::You should have seen it! When he heard what they were doing to you Daddy LEAPED into action and SAVED you! He also knocked
out everyone at auction! It was AMAZING! IT WAS PHENOMINAL!:: Plushie waved his arms in the air, ::Too bad that meanie girl
had to come WITH him::
::DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT MY B-CHAN THAT WAY YOU STUFFED REJECT!!!:: Vegeta growled at him.
::Ha! YOU weren't the one she and her friends kidnapped from Daddy's room and then brought to HER OWN room and
dressed in DOLL clothes and put MAKEUP on!:: Plushie spat, shivering from the terrifying memory, ::But then Daddy SAVED me!::
he grinned, ::He ALWAYS saves his Plushie::
::Yeah, Kaka-chan's saved me too...lots and lots of times:: the ouji made a content mental smile.
::He didn't save you this time:: Plushie said, interupting the ouji's dreaming train of throught.
::AWW SHADDUP!::
::Hee!:: Plushie grinned, then zipped back to his spot just as the door flung open and Goku sluggishly walked in,
depressed, then looked up.
" VEGGIE! " he ran at the stone-ouji and hugged him, " HI VEGGIE! Oh Veggie you're still here! Aren'tcha PROUD of me!
I got rid of those mean old auctionees who were trying to buy you and take you away from me. " he flashed a grin, " But
NOBODY can put a price on BUDDYSHIP, can they little Veggie? " the large saiyajin giggled, giving the ouji another squeeze.
Plushie raised an eyebrow at Vegeta, who's mind had gone completely blank.
::Hehhhhhhh.....:: Goku pulled away from the ouji & fell down animé style when he noticed the statue's face had
turned bright red.
" GAH! " he got to his feet, " Plu-chan! Do you know what this means? " he turned to Plushie, who just sat there.
" ... "
" That's right....VEGGIE'S _AHH-LLLIVE_!!! " Goku threw his arms in the air, " Hoo-RAY for Veggie! " he cheered,
" Cheer with me Plushie! HIP-HIP-- "
" ... "
" --HOORAY! HIP-HIP-- "
" ... "
" --HOORAY! " the large saiyajin shouted, then did a little victory jig around the room. Vegeta and Plushie
sweatdropped, " Doodeedoodeedoodee DOO Doodeedoodeedoodee DOO! " he continued his victory jig for several minutes, then
stopped, remembering why he had come up here in the first place, " That's right! I have to change my clothes! " he pointed to
his Veggie-outfit, " So, Veggie, what's your opinion? Am I pretty in blue? " Goku giggled to himself.
::Silly Daddy!:: Plushie smiled.
:: ... :: the ouji's brain had once again went out on a lunch break. Plushie sighed in pity.
" Now where did I put my gi...hmm. " Goku took a good look around the room, then glanced upward to see his clothes
hanging over one of the wings of the ceiling fan, " AHH! There they are! " he grabbed his other pair of clothes and threw
them down on the bed behind Vegeta and Plushie. He ripped off his saiyajin training gear, grabbed the clothes on the bed and
marched out of the bedroom and towards the bathroom buck naked.
" HELLO CHI-CHAN, I'M GOING TO GET CHANGED! " he waved to the group from upstairs. All who instantly turned their
backs towards him, groaning in disgust.
" Aww, jeez! " Yamcha covered his eyes.
" Like we really needed to see that! " Juuhachigou groaned, shaking her head, " Gero never told us Son was a
_nudist!_ " she slapped her hands over her eyes.
" It's a farm thing... " Kuririn laughed nervously.
" I guess when you live out in the mountains anything goes. " Piccolo grumbled.
" GOKU GET YOUR CLOTHES ON RIGHT NOW!!! " Chi-Chi screamed at the top of her lungs, enraged and embarassed at the
same time.
" Well I couldn't get changed in the bedroom, I left Veggie in there. " Goku said, then closed the bathroom door
behind him.
Chi-Chi stared at the door for a moment, contemplating, then hung her head and moaned, speechless, " --and he gets..
OH infront of the OUJI...oh God help me does he have any sense of personal privacy! "
" Never did, never will. " Kuririn sighed in reply.
" I AM REFRESHED AND FULLY CLOTHED! " Goku whooped, exiting the bathroom a couple minutes later.
" Thank GOD! " Piccolo clasped his hands together.
Juuhachigou clapped for Goku, merely humoring him.
" Thank you! Thank you! You're all too kind! " he bowed for them, then lept down off the banister and onto the ground
before them, " You'll never believe what I thought up while I was in the bathroom? " he grinned wildly at them.
" No, what? " Juuhachigou said sarcastically.
" A SOLUTION TO SAVE MY VEGGIE!! " Goku screamed, ecstatic.
" Uhhh... " the group turned a pale white.
" Ra--really? Have you, Goku. That--that's GREAT. " Chi-Chi forced herself to say, panicking on the inside, " What's
your, err, brilliant idea? "
" THE DRAGONBALLS! "
" ... "
" You know, the dragonballs? The thing our show's named after? " he said, hinting.
" ...OH! Yes, of course. How could we have EVER forget about those... " Chi-Chi trailed off.
" I propose we collect them together, bring them to Dende's (so no one will get suspicous of the giant floating green
lizard) and WISH Veggie back to normal. " Goku explained, " It will be such FUN! And with my teleportation powers I can
collect them within mere seconds! " he put his fingers on his forehead and teleported out of the room, " See you at
Denny's!! "
" Ohhhhhhh, " Chi-Chi groaned, " I knew it was too good to last.... "
" Mr. Popo is astounded at the detail of Son Goku's amazing sculpture. " Popo said, observing the Veggie-statue.
" Awww, I didn't sculpt this, Popo-San. " Goku made a cheesy grin, embarassed, " This is VEGGIE! The real VEGGIE! "
Dende walked up to the ouji, glaring at him, then suddenly burst into laughter and walked off. Vegeta did his best to
hold in the anger. The rage boiling up inside him like an overcooked tomato.
::Once Kakay saves me I SHALL BLAST YOUR TINY GREEN HEAD HALFWAY ACROSS THE UNIVERSE!!!:: Vegeta screamed inside his
mind. Plushie rolled his eyes.
::Not if Daddy stops you first!:: he said happily.
::Grr:: Vegeta replied angrily.
" Now you just wait here little Veggie 'o mine while I go check for the others. " Goku smiled at him, " Oh, wait...
haha, that's so silly of me. Of COURSE you can't go anywhere, you're still a STATUE! "
::Thanks for REMINDING me, Kakarrot:: Vegeta grumbled, then looked up to see Bulma's plane landing, the whole crew
smushed inside it, ::Oh look, it's the peanut gallery::
" Really? Oh that's great!....uh-huh...uh-huh...I'll see in a couple minutes then, bye! " Chi-Chi said into her cell
phone as she got out of the plane.
" Chi-chan you're HERE! " Goku said happily, running over to her. She held up a "wait" sign and Goku screeched to a
halt, " Chi-Chi who're you talking to? "
" Yeah I'm still here...ok...sure, fine...yes he's right over...well I can see him from here...hold on I'll check. "
she looked up at Goku, " You didn't change the Ouji back yet, did you? "
" No. I was waiting for you guys. " Goku said, then smiled, " I wanna have a big "Veggie's Back" party for him after
we change him back to normal to show how much we love him and I bought him a nice pretty cake and-- "
" --no they haven't changed him back yet. " Chi-Chi went back to her cell phone, " Ok...yes we're at the top of the
large floating hunk of rock. "
" It's an ISLAND! " Dende snapped, then sighed when he realized she wasn't paying any attention. His highly sensitive
namekian ears picked up a large vibartion in the air above him and looked up to see a second plane coming down to land, " AHH
WHO'S THAT!! " he gawked as the plane landed and out stepped a man wearing a long jacket with big wads of money hanging out
of the pockets. Chi-Chi waved to him and they both shut the cell phones they were holding off.
" Goku I'd like you to meet Mr. Lé Fromage, he owns a VERY LARGE and VERY RICH hotel in Paris, he's going to take
that statue of yours of your hands; for 10 million dollars! " she flipped through a large wad of money the man had given her.
" AHHH! CHI-CHAN YOU SAID YOU WERE DONE TRYING TO SELL VEGGIE!! " he gasped, then turned to Fromage, " I'm not giving
little Veggie to anyone and besides I'm going to change him back right now anyways! "
" Oop! No your not! " Chi-Chi grabbed one of the dragonballs from the pile. Piccolo and Juuhachigou grabbed two
others. All three of them now had their own wads of money.
" Sorry Son, " Piccolo smirked, " Don't take this personally Vegeta, no, wait, DO take this personally. Seeing as
this is probably the last we'll see of you anyway. "
" NO! YOU CAN'T TAKE HIM! " Goku shouted, offended, and latched onto the ouji protectively, " We're so close to
getting our Veggie back how can you dream of giving him away to some complete stranger! I mean, would you give your puppy
away if someone were to offer you a lot of money? "
" Well....we don't HAVE a puppy. " Piccolo pointed out.
" How would you know if that COMPLETE STRANGER would take care of him. I could never forgive myself if something
HORRIBLE happened to little Veggie because I let him be taken out of our tender loving care. " he snuggled against the
stone-ouji. Vegeta mentally grinned dopeishly. Chi-Chi sensed the euphoria coming from the ouji and glared at him, then
recomposed herself.
" Nonsense, it's not like we'll NEVER see him again. " she said, trying to comfort Goku and get him to stop his
protective embrace around the statue, " With all this dough we'll have plenty of money to travel to Paris every once in a
while so you can check up on him. "
" Veggie always wanted to travel with me one day--BUT NOT LIKE THIS! " Goku exclaimed.
::And we will travel Kakarrotto-chan, after you change me back and I finally DESTORY the EVIL ONE:: he quickly
glanced at Chi-Chi.
::You wouldn't!:: Plushie gawked at him from his spot on the ground by Goku's foot.
::Of COURSE I will, but not directly. It will most likely be she has a little "accident". Did you know 2 out of 3
"accidents" occur inside the home?:: Vegeta snickered.
::I do now:: Plushie sweatdropped.
" Too late! " Chi-Chi said happily as a helicopter dropped down what looked like a large crane which headed towards
the ouji.
::AHHHH!! AHHH! AHHHHHHH!!!:: Vegeta panicked, ::KAKA-CHAN!! DO SOMETHING! AND DO IT NOW!!!::
" NOOOO!! " Goku clung tighter, then felt something tap him on the shoulder, " Chi-chan? " he stared at her with big
watery eyes.
" Come over here sweetie, it's going to be alright. " she took him by the wrist and led him away from the statue.
" Veh--Veh--Veh--Veh--GEEEEEEE!!! " tears started to flow down his cheeks, " Don't take him! "
" It's all for the best Go-chan, really. " Chi-Chi said comfortingly.
" BULMA, MIRAI, GOHAN, BURA HELP!!! " Goku screamed. The quartet poked their heads out of the front door to
Kami-sama's palace where they had been waiting for the rest of the group. Their jaws fell to the floor when they saw the
scene infront of them. The Veggie-statue being lifted into a helicopter, a strange man with an airplane, and Chi-Chi doing
her best to calm Goku down and keep him from flying off after the ouji.
" WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!! " Bulma shrieked.
" THEY SOLD VEGGIE!! " Goku wailed.
" Err, we've got to stop them! " Mirai shouted, running out of Kami's and towards the helicopter.
" Right! " Gohan agreed, quickly following him.
" ... " Bura stood there, eyes wide open. Her attention quickly turned to Son and she flew at Chi-Chi from the side
and knocked her to the floor, then grabbed Goku and tried to pull him upward with her, " COME ON MR. GOTEN'S DADDY! YOU'VE
GOTTA SAVE YOUR VEGGIE! YOU'VE GOTTA SAVE YOUR LITTLE BUDDY! I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!! " she pulled him up.
Goku glanced downward, " You hurt Chi-chan... " he trailed off, " How could you! Just because she made a mistake
doesn't mean I hate her! I've gotta make sure she's oh-kay... "
" FORGET ABOUT HER! THINK OF TOUSSAN! HE _NEEDS_ YOU MORE THAN ANYONE IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW! HE LOVES YOU! YOU
_HAVE_ TO SAVE HIM! " Bura ordered.
" But--- " Goku watched the helicopter and plane fly away.
" I have a plan. " Bulma quickly pulled out a capsule and tossed it to the ground to reveal a large yellow chopper.
" A chopper! Brilliant, we can all board it and catch up to them in no time. " Gohan said, boarding the chopper
along with Bulma and Mirai. Bura glared up at the helicopter in the distance, then ran full speed into the vehicle,
pushing past everyone else in the process.
Goku gathered up the balls in in a small knapsack, then took the ones Chi-Chi, Piccolo, and Juuhachigou were
holding, " I'll take those, thank you. " he said bluntly, tossing them inside the bag as well.
" Oh you'll NEVER get him back, Son. Except it and move on with your life! " Piccolo said. Goku leered towards him,
then smirked.
" Would you like to go back to being my little buddy, Piccy? " he grinned sneakily.
" NO! NO NO NO! " Piccolo waved his hands in protest, " Uh, I mean, good luck Son Goku. "
" Thank you Piccy. "
" Heh-heh-heh, "Piccy". " Juuhachigou chuckled. Piccolo grumbled to himself.
" AWAY WE GO! " Goku lept onto the chopper as well, " Bye Chi-chan! Don't bother fixing dinner for me! After I save
Veggie we're all gonna treat him to dinner and eat there. " he waved to her, then perked up, " Maybe we'll stay
overnight! "
" EEK!! " horrifying images flashed through Chi-Chi's mind, " NO! YOU'RE NOT STAYING OVERNIGHT ANYWHERE WITH THAT
EVIL MANIPULATING OUJI!!! "
" Well I'm not staying overnight with the meanie who tried to SELL MY LITTLE BUDDY either. " Goku said stubbornly,
then yelped as Chi-Chi pushed him aside.
" Move it! " she shouted.
" Huh? "
" I'm coming with you! _IF_ you _DO_ find that ouji AND change him back there's no TELLING what he might do! The
mere thought of me leaving you all alone with THE EVIL ONE in some fancy French hotel while I sit at home and twiddle
my thumbs is enough to make me SICK! "
" But Chi-chan, we're not going to be "ALONE". Bulma, Bura, Gohan and Mirai are all coming with me and-- "
" --SILENCE! "
" Yes Chi-chan. " he sat down & glanced at the floor.
" NOW GET THIS THING MOVING SO WE CAN GET BACK HOME! " Chi-Chi demanded as the chopper started up. Mirai and
Bulma sending her disgusted glares, Gohan groaning in humiliation, Goku in a psychological state of panic, and Bura
snarling coldly at Chi-Chi.
" Don't worry Veggie. " Goku said, looking down at Plushie, who he took out of his pocket, " I'll save you, I
promise! "

END OF PART 3!
Chuquita: Wow, looks like there will be a Part 4 after all. (grins) Oh! I'd like to thank Nekoni for the clip of the
"cheek-to-cheek" ki blast. It was funny. I'll probably be writing another part to my Buu/Buddy episode parodies "You Gonna
Eat That" either after I finish Part 4 of this, or after the newest story plot I have lined up, the one where Veggie wakes
up in Goku's body but Goku isn't in his and, well...it's really quite confusing. I'll explain that story at the end of
Part 4. BTW, another freaky litte thing I noticed. In the episodes following after Veggie & Son-kun are unfused they start
doing things in sync with whatever side their portara earring was on. When they choose which tunnel to go down as they get
to Buu's brain, Goku goes left, Veggie goes right. When they both attack Buu at once with their double-kick move, Goku's on
the left, Veggie's on the right. And when they did their "cheek-to-cheek" ki blast Goku was on the left and once again Veggie
was on the right. I personally don't think they fully 100% unfused when they were in Buu. How did they even THINK of that
cheek-to-cheek four hand ki attack so fast anyway!
Vegeta: You're rambling again.
Chuquita: Oh hush up....it was a cool attack though.
Vegeta: IT WAS NOT! IT WAS MENTALLY--no--PSYCHOLOGICALLY PAINFUL! (quietly) The therapist said the feeling would go away--BUT
IT DIDN'T!! (shakes his fist in the air)
Chuquita: Uh...oh-kay. (scratches her head) It was really that terrible?
Vegeta: (mumbling to himself; musing) Oh the colors were beautiful and--did you say something?
Chuquita: I dunno, you started on about "the colors" and after that I wasn't really listening.
Vegeta: (wipes the nervous sweat off his face) Oh, *whew*....we make terrible listeners, don't we?
Chuquita: Nah! It all depends on who or what your listening to.
Vegeta: Hmm, point.
Chuquita: So, (glancing out the window to Bejee & Chi-Chi) your sent your other self to go tie Chi-Chi to the bike rack, huh?
Vegeta: Yup. [watches Bejee tie a bike chain around Chi] He's not doing such a bad job of it either.
Chuquita: I'll say.
Vegeta: [gets up]
Chuquita: Hey, where are you going?
Vegeta: To retrieve Kakarrot, like I said earlier.
Chuquita: [glances up at the two Sons, who are staring down at them from the steps in the audiance with equal confusion] Good
luck finding ours.
Vegeta: MINE.
Chuquita: Whatever.
Vegeta: [walks up to the two Sons] (sternly) Kakarrotto?
Generic & Son: (happily) Yes?
Vegeta: Hmm...(deep in thought) [rubs his chin] YOU! [points at the Goku on the left] WHAT IS MY NAME!
Goku1: (giggles) Aww, you know THAT silly!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) [grabs him by the collar & pulls him down to his height] WHAT IS THE TITLE OF WHICH YOU REFER TO ME BY!
Goku1: (confused) Huh?
Vegeta: WHAT DO YOU CALL ME!
Goku1: (blankly) Vegeta.
Vegeta: HA! IMPOSTER! [shoves him back] NOW YOU! [points to Goku2] WHAT DO _YOU_ CALL ME!
Goku2: Vegeta.
Vegeta: (slaps himself on the forehead) Ohhhh I feel a migraine coming on. (glares at them)
Generic & Son: (grins)
Vegeta: (disgusted) Ugh....(to himself) oh-kay, deep breaths. Just like the therapist said...deep...(sighs)...healing..
..breaths.
Generic & son: (cock their heads in opposite directions)
Vegeta: Alright. I'm ready.
Goku1: (happily) I'M READY!
Goku2: (happily) I'M READY TOO!
Vegeta: AAUGH!! [stomps his foot] LISTEN TO ME!!! _NOW_!!!
[both Sons turn towards him]
Both: Yes??
Vegeta: _WHICH_ ONE OF YOU KNOWS WHAT A _LITTLE BUDDY_ IS!
Goku1: (waving his arm in the air) OOH OOH! PICK ME PICK ME!!
Vegeta: (sarcasm) Ahh, we have found the jackpot.
Goku1: (looking around the room) Where? Where?
Goku2: (confused) I don't see anything.
Vegeta: ERRRRR! [slaps Goku1]
Goku1: OWW! VEGGIE THAT HURT!! (whimpers)
Vegeta: Baka, NOW CUT THAT OUT!!! (shakes his fist in the air)
Goku2: (to 1) You're right, he _IS_ entertaining.
Vegeta: (groans) (ordering) KAKARROT! SIT AT THE DESK!
Goku1: (sighs & pouts) Yes little Veggie. [sluggishly waddles back to his seat]
Vegeta: (observes 2) Hmm, interesting. You look EXACLTY the same. (smirks) Why don't you give me a hug?
Goku2: Why, are you feeling sick or something Vegeta?
Vegeta: (narrows his eyes) Just do it.
[2 hugs him; then lets go]
Vegeta: (smiles) Mmm...feels the same. (looks up at him) Do you hug often?
Goku2: No.
Vegeta: That explains it then.
Goku2: (baffled) Explains what? What'd I do?
Vegeta: Nothing. [makes his way back to the desk] Move along with whatever it is you were doing.
Goku2: But I wasn't doing ANYTHING.
Vegeta: Just sit down.
Goku2: Ok. [plops himself down in a spare seat]
Chuquita: (to Goku) Glad to have you back Son-San!
Goku: Glad to be back Chu-sama!
Vegeta: (grinning) Unfortuantely he won't be back for long.
Goku: Huh?
Vegeta: [holds out a pair of plane tickets] (smirks) We're going for a little ride, Kaka-chan.
Goku: OOOoooooH! RIDES WIT VEGGIE! (grins) Where we going Veggie?
Chuquita: (suspicously) I thought you were going to bring him outside to 'temporarily share' with Bejee?
Vegeta: HA! I tricked him, the fool.
Chuquita: WHAT?! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO--TO YOU--err, HIM, err, BEJEE!!
Vegeta: (shrugs) Simple. He could not possibly fathom the usefulness of a REAL Kakay.
Goku: (spontaniousity) PICKLES!
Vegeta: SHUSH!
Goku: ...
Vegeta: I intend to take a little exotic vacation with my own personal servant-maid here. In't that right Kakay?
Goku: (not paying attention) What?
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Just follow me. The limo's waiting for us out front.
Goku: (squeals) YAY! LIMO! [follows Veggie out of the room]
Chuquita: WAIT! Where ARE you going? EXACTLY?
Vegeta: (proudly) I used some of Bulma's money to recently purchase my own tropical island. It's small, but it's fit for
royalty...besides, all the big ones are taken.
Goku: (grins) I'M BIG!
Vegeta: (smiles back) Yes you are! That's why there's extra elbow room in the backseat of the limo. COME KAKARROT!
Goku: Yes Veggie!
[both leave]
Chuquita: (sitting at her desk; staring at the half-open front door) ...well, I guess that wraps up part 3, huh. (turns to
audiance) Be sure to tune in next time for the finale of "Lawn Jockey"! Not to mention a preview of the next story! [limo
engine starts to roar outside] And...maybe we'll find a way to foil Veggie's plan too.
Goku2: One can only hope.
