Quote of the Week: -"Blue" from Cowboy Bebop
Everything is clearer now
Life is just a dream you know
That's never ending
I'm ascending
Chuey's Corner:
Vegeta: (to Chu) Now how you can go from Spongebob Squarepants quote of the weeks to Cowboy Bebop is beyond me.
Chuquita: Well I happened upon this site that has lyrics from different animés and I remembered how much I liked this song.
In fact I liked a lot of songs from that show.
Goku: (pouty-faced) What about me?
Chuquita: Oh, I found dbz stuff too. I found this one "Veggie Image" song called "Jan Janka My Way".
Goku: "My Way"...yup, sounds like Veggie.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops)
Chuquita: Of course it was in Japanese so I can't translate it. I was thinking of going to find a search engine or someone
to translate it for me. I'm curious about what Veggie's "Image" song sounds like.
Goku: (giggles)
Vegeta: What are you laughing about?
Goku: Nothin.
Chuquita: They had a cute one there about Son-San and his Kinto-cloud too. But one that really caught my eye was from Movie
12; you know the one with Goggie in it where you two fuse and--
Vegeta: --like we haven't heard you gab about that movie a million times.
Chuquita: (whacks him with a random object) Veggie shush! Anyways, this was a song from the movie called "Saikyo No Fyuujon"
which, just guessing, means Saiyajin blood fusion.
Vegeta: I know what it means.
Goku: (smiles) Really?
Vegeta: But I'm not telling.
Goku: (frowns) Awwww....
Chuquita: Because he's a--
Goku: --MEANIE! (blows a raspberry at Veggie and pops more of his bubblewrap gi in protest)
Vegeta: (rolls his eyes)
Chuquita: Yeah, well, this one actually had a translation side-by-side it. And for the life of me I could've sworn Bura had
a hand in writing this one.
Goku: *POP*! Heeheehee.
Vegeta: (Cocks an eyebrow) Really?
Chuquita: Would you like a sample?
Goku: (excitedly) Cheese on a stick?!
Chuquita: ...
Vegeta: (to Son) What?
Chuquita: Nevermind him. Here, "Dragonball (I embrace anger)
Dragonball (I shy away from pain)
Our combined hearts blossom into a graceful rose"
Vegeta: (shocked; disgusted; and frightened) ...you're kidding, right?
Goku: I'm the one saying the "pain" line, aren't I? (grins)
Chuquita: I figured Veggie's gotta be the "anger" one so, yeah, that leaves you with the "pain".
Vegeta: (grumbles) Someone's gonna pay for comparing me and Kakarrotto's "combined hearts" as a "graceful rose".
Goku: (big happy smile) I am graceful Veggie! [falls out of his chair, smacking his head on the desk on the way down]
Chuquita: (laughs at him)
Vegeta: (groans) God help me...EVEN THE SONG WRITERS ARE IN ON THIS!!!!
Chuquita: (grinning evilly) Would you like to see more?
Vegeta: (sighs) Why not, it can't be any worse than that "rose" line up there.
Chuquita: A-hem. Another line from the "graceful" fusion song; this time from Veggie's verse:
"Yes! Although I hate love
Yes! Although I admire love
Our friendship has changed
into a hot ray of light
Yes! The power of Saiya within us Yes! Dwells in the time we dream
Who doesn't believe it yet?"
Vegeta: (slams his head down on the desk) Take me, take me NOW!
Goku: The silly japanese fusion song DOES seem to capture Veggie's many confused emotions.
Vegeta: SHUTUP! [slams his head down again]
Chuquita: I have one last verse before we start part 2.
Vegeta: (emotionally in pain) Must you?
Chuquita: Yes, I must. A-hem. The last little nugget of joy from DBZ Movie 12's "Saikyo No Fyuujon":
"I am the sun
You are the moon
Let's dissolve into this miracle power
As we put our fingers together
Our souls unite
Return to the fighting history...The strongest fusion"
Chuquita: That it is. (nods) That it is.
Goku: (beaming) Tell me Veggie am I the sun or am I the moon?
Chuquita: You're the sun, Son.
Goku: (giggles) Heeheehee, Sun--Son. Sun-Son-San!
Vegeta: (groans in agony) Just get one with the story already! (sits up) The number of people who find it entertaining to toy
with my relationship with Kakarrotto is ASTOUNDING!!!
Chuquita: Yeah, who knew it reached this far. I sure didn't.
Vegeta: At least you don't write songs.
Goku: I wrote a song! [holds up a sheet] (grins; reading) I had a wet noodle named Fred, I had hit him over the head, when I
went out to play, while I was a-way, I came back to find him now dead.
Chuquita: Uh....
Vegeta: (sarcastic) BRILLIANT, Kakarrotto.
Goku: (blushes) Aww, ya mean it Veggie?
Vegeta: (turns away to avoid glowing) Uh, yeah, it must have taken you FOREVER to think up that one.
Goku: Nope, I made it up just now.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops)
Chuquita: And now, Part 2!
Summary: 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! Will they convience him to come home or will the saiyajin be stuck doing circus odd-jobs for the
rest of his life? And where does Freeza fit into all this? Find out!
Ages:
Bura: 8
Goten: 8
Trunks: 9
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Hai! Kirai ai nagara. Hai! Mitome ai nagara Ore-tachi no yuujou wa. Atsui hikari ni kawatta. Hai! Saiya no chikara
Hai! Yume ga yadoru. Dare mo mada shinjinai! " Vegeta hummed happily to himself as he rumaged through the refridgerator.
" What are you doing home so early? " the ouji glanced over his shoulder to see Bulma staring at him, cocking her
head, " I thought you were going to the circus with Son-kun, Mirai, and Bura? "
" I already did. " Vegeta grinned as he started to walk out of the room, his arms full of food.
Bulma scratched her head, confused.
" Toussan! Don't I look beautiful! " Bura said. The ouji looked down to see she was now dressed in what looked like
a hot-pink version of his saiyajin armor. Vegeta sweatdropped, " I wanna look my best for when we go out in space to save
Mr. Goten's Daddy. I was trying for something that says, "I'm cute AND I can kick your can". " she spun around like a fashion
model.
" You're taking Bura with you into SPACE!? " Bulma gawked, still uninformed, " And where IS Son anyway? "
" You wouldn't believe it if I told you. " Mirai said, entering the room.
" Well, tell me anyway. Us geniuses have a right to know what's going on to, not to mention the fact that you and
Bura are my own children! " Bulma put her hands on her hips.
" Alright, it all started when--MMPH! " Vegeta slapped one hand over Mirai's mouth and leaned towards Bulma.
" Bul-chan before Mirai opens his big mouth you have to promise me that you will NOT repeat ONE WORD OF IT to the
ONNA, this is MY Kaka-rescue mission, GOT IT! " he warned her.
" "rescue mission"? " Bulma repeated. Vegeta removed his hand.
" As I was saying.. " Mirai said, a little more annoyed then before, " We went to the Circus and the ringmaster
called for a volunteer. Of course he chose Son-San. For some odd reason Toussan decided to go down to the center ring with
him. "
" To protect his lil Kakay-chan if something terrible happened to him! " Bura added, giggling.
" They were both volunteers for a couple tricks and Son got so impressed he wanted to be in the Circus too. And
Toussan let him do it for a couple double-motives of his just so he would have Son-San out in space along with him and have
it not be his fault. To sum it up, Son's going into space, we're going after him to save him. " Mirai explained.
" Oh, is that all. " Bulma said, kind of disappointed, " I was sure it was something having to do with a villian
"more powerful than anything you've ever faced before", but I think I've seen everything so I'm not surprised. "
Mirai sighed, " We'll try to be back by dinnertime. "
" Ha! YOU maybe... " Vegeta trailed off.
" What's THAT supposed to mean? " Bulma narrowed her eyes.
" Toussan's planning on taking Son on a tour across the galaxy once we save him. " Mirai said flatly.
" Wow, that's unusually nice of him. " Bulma said, suspicious.
" Yes, I AM a nice person, aren't I. " Vegeta boasted, " And, by the way, it's UNIVERSE, not GALAXY. " he corrected
Mirai, who headed for the front door with his item-packed sleeping bag.
" *DING-DONG*! " he paused as the door infront of rang, " *DING-DONG-DING-DONG-DING-DONG*!!! " it rang more
aggresively. Mirai cautiously opened the door, only to have it fling wide open and smash him into the wall behind it.
Chi-Chi stood in the doorway, steaming. Gohan and Goten stood nervously behind her, " Fee fii fo fum, I smell OUJI! "
she zipped over to Vegeta, grabbed him, and held him up by the collar.
" Onna. " he said casually.
" Ouji. " she glared back.
" Why, what brings YOU to my humble abode? " Vegeta said teasingly.
" WHERE IS HE! " she slammed him against the wall.
" Who? " the ouji asked innocently.
" YOU KNOW WHO!!! " Chi-Chi shouted in his face, " I was sitting at home minding my own business when all of a sudden
I got a sharp pain in my head, the same one I get everytime my Go-chan is in trouble and if he's in trouble you're BOUND to
be in on it! "
" Well, she's got that part right. " Mirai said, unpeeling himself from the wall.
" If you MUST know, Kakay's joined the circus. " Vegeta smiled.
" The circus? " Chi-Chi said skeptically, dropping him.
" Yes, an interplanetary circus. One that travels all across the stars to enterain those wishing to be entertained.
He wants to be a lion-tamer. "
" Why go into space, we've got the King of the Beasts right here. " Bulma joked.
" I'll pretend I didn't hear that. " Vegeta said stubbornly, " Kakay's foolish choice will most likely end in misery
so I have decided to take it upon myself to save him from such a terrible end and show him the REAL gems the galaxy has to
offer. "
" Universe. " Mirai corrected him.
" SHUSH BOY! " Vegeta snapped, then continued, " I am bringing little B-chan along with Mirai to accompany myself on
this treacherous journey that only one who is TRUELY experianced in space-travel can accomplish. "
" Like YOU. " Chi-Chi glared.
" Yes, like ME. " Vegeta said proudly.
" Calm down Chi-Chi, he does have the experiance, besides Vegeta said he'd bring Goku back home for dinner. " Bulma
said, trying to keep Chi-Chi's temper from erupting.
" Of course he'll bring my Go-chan home for dinner--AND THEN RUN BACK OUT THERE TO HIS SPACESHIP AND FLY OFF WITH HIM
FOR GOOD THIS TIME!!! "
" To tell the truth Onna, I wasn't even planning on coming back...right away. " the ouji mused, then snickered.
" You're coming back by dinnertime. " Bulma said bluntly.
" I'm coming back by dinnertime. " he repeated, then sweatdropped.
" Thank God we have Bulma around. " Chi-Chi muttered, then smirked at the ouji's obedience to the blue-hairred
scientist.
" Maybe we should come too, " Gohan said, speaking up for the first time since the Sons had gotten there, " I mean,
he is MY dad, I wouldn't feel right just staying here while-- "
" --not enough room to fit you, sorry. " Vegeta quickly responded, then handed his stuff to Mirai, " Here take these
to the gravity room. "
" Huh? " Mirai blinked.
" The OLD ONE!! "
" ...OHHH, got it! " Mirai said, then dashed outside.
" Not enough room! Vegeta you could house up to 10 people in that thing! " Bulma exclaimed.
" ...oh. " the ouji looked around, " Then there's not enough room to store all the FOOD we would need. We saiyajins
eat a LOT of food. "
" I can believe that. " Chi-Chi remarked. She and Vegeta silently glared at one another for several seconds. The ouji
resumed speaking.
" And there's barely enough room to fit food for Mirai, Bura and I. B-chan doesn't eat much but still. "
" You know who ELSE doesn't eat like a cow? " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes.
" You want to come with us, eh Onna? " Vegeta said, amused.
" I _WANT_ to be there so that after you save Go-chan you don't do anything MANIPULATING to him. " she stomped over
to him.
" Mirai would stop me. " Vegeta shrugged.
" Yes, but you and Bura overpower him 2 to 1. That's why I'm coming along! " Chi-Chi said, determined.
" Heh...are you? " Vegeta nodded, then shouted, " B-CHAN! TO THE SHIP! " he sped off out the front door, quickly
followed by Bura.
" YOU COME BACK HERE OUJI!! " Chi-Chi screamed, racing after the duo.
Vegeta and Bura lept inside the old gravity room, " Mirai! " the ouji ordered, " Hit the ignition! "
" What? NOW? " Mirai gawked, confused.
" HERE I COME YOU LITTLE DEMON! " she roared just as the ship was taking off. Chi-Chi took a running leap into the
open door of the spaceship, knocking Vegeta onto the floor as she did so, " TAKE THAT YOU, YOU--WAHHH!!! " Chi-Chi quickly
lost her death-grip around Vegeta's throat and yelped as she slammed into the ceiling.
" You know Onna, you really should wear a seatbelt. " Vegeta commented.
" Shutup. "
" Wha--what just happened? " Bura said, surprised.
" Space, B-chan. Space. " Vegeta smiled. Bura unstrapped herself from her chair and floated over to the window while
the ouji pressed a button to close the door.
" Oh Toussan! It's BEAUTIFUL!! " she said in awe, " And this is what you used to do everyday before you met
Mr. Goten's Daddy? WOW! "
" Hai, it is indeed a very beautiful place, he unstrapped his own chair and floated upward.
" HEY! GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!! " Chi-Chi yelled, still floating up near the ceiling.
" Very well. " Vegeta smirked, then turned a knob on the control panel.
" Natural gravity simulation on. " the computer said. Chi-Chi blinked, then wailed as she fell to the ground with a
thump.
" Ohhhhh... " Chi-Chi got up, " I swear you did that on purpose. " she pointed to Vegeta.
" Of course I did it on purpose. " he chuckled, " I'm "evil", remember? "
" OOOH!! " she boiled, then folded her arms, " Hmmph! " Chi-Chi looked around the ship, " Hey, this looks awful
familiar. "
" It's the ship you so sadly attempted to save Kakarrotto-chan in the first time, remember? " Vegeta chuckled.
" Are you insulting me? "
" Maybe. "
" WHAT?! "
Vegeta snickered, " Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Hard to tell. " he walked past her, " Now if you'll excuse me, I've
got a call to make. "
::Kakarrotto. Kakarrotto? KAKARROTTO YOU IDIOT! PICK UP!!!::
" Huh? " Goku bolted to attention. He was standing in his dressing room in his lion tamer's outfit, " Little Veggie?
Is that you? " he looked around the room.
::Yes, it is I, "little Veggie".::
::LITTLE VEGGIE!:: Goku squealed. Vegeta grabbed the sides of his head in pain.
::Not so LOUD!::
" Oh-kay, *little Veggie*. " he said in a whisper, " How's that? "
::Better.:: the voice in Goku's head grumbled, ::So? Did you miss me?::
" Oh of COURSE I missed you lil Veggie, you silly. " the larger saiyajin giggled, then mentally felt Vegeta's face
turn bright red.
::I have something important to tell you.:: Vegeta choked up, trying to regain what logic and reason had temporarily
had a meltdown do to the glowing, " All you have to do is close your eyes. " he said, doing so himself.
" Oh-kay Veggie! " Goku gave him a thumbs-up sign and then closed his eyes, " Now what? "
::Consentrate hard on the darkness before you. Consentrate VERY HARD.::
" Yes my Veggie. " Goku snickered at the ouji's fake-seriousness, then, with his eyes still closed, looked down to
see the rest of him, " WHOA! I can see through my eye-lids! A-MAZING!! "
" It's not "amazing" you baka, it's mental imagery! " Goku glanced up to see Vegeta standing infront of him, looking
skeptical.
" WOW! I can see Veggie in my head! " Goku grinned, pointing at him, " And you're not nakee this time! "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " Yes, well... " he said uncomfortably.
" Hey, is this that same thing you did when I saw you in my head while I was having that heart injury thing back when
we met Mirai? " he asked eagerly.
" Similar, only I'm much more trained in this "mental training" thing now. " Vegeta boasted, " For instance, would
you like to go to the beach, Kakay? " he snapped his fingers and the darkness around them instantly turned into a beach.
Goku's jaw hung open, " MAN VEGGIE THAT IS SO COOL!!! " he whooped, " I had NO IDEA you could do THAT! "
" Heh-heh, I can do many things, Kaka-chan. " the ouji smiled, " And I bet you could do it too. Why don't you think
of something and see what happens? "
" Oh-kay. " Goku nodded, " Let's see, I'm at the beach so--I WANT A BEACHBALL! " in a poof of smoke a large beachball
appeared infront of him, " Make it orange! "
Another poof.
" With blue and white polka-dots! " Goku waved his arms in the air. The desired patterned instantly appeared on the
beachball. He picked up the beachball & hugged it, " Hmm. " Goku looked around, " I've got a beachball and I've got Veggie &
I've got a beach, the only thing I'm missing now is A VOLLEYBALL NET! "
" *POOF*! "
" So little Veggie, how would you like to volley with me? " the bigger saiyajin asked, grinning.
" Sure. Just let me get my swim-trunks. " Vegeta snapped his fingers and was now wearing them, along with a lifeguard
whistle that hung around his neck.
" ME NEXT ME NEXT! " Goku said, then dashed off of the beach to an outhouse and returned 10 minutes later in his own
swim-trunks.
Vegeta sweatdropped, " You know you COULD have just snapped your fingers instead of doing all THAT! "
" Chi-chan says I shouldn't get changed in public anymore, "it's indecent". " he quoted.
Vegeta made an even bigger sweatdrop.
" NOW LET'S PLAY! "
" Hi Chi-Chi what are you-- "
" --SHH! " Chi-Chi interupted Mirai, who had just entered the room, " Look. " she whispered as she leaned against the
wall. Vegeta was sitting on the floor in the middle of the room with his eyes closed and a big smile on his face, " Look at
him! He's ENJOYING himself. "
" Yeah, so? " Mirai said, confused.
" He's ENJOYING himself WITHOUT Goku around. "
" ...oh. " Mirai's face drooped, " Maybe he's just, you know, meditating. "
" Mirai, Piccolo meditates. Vegeta schemes evil plots. " Chi-Chi said flatly.
" Hmm, well in that case, maybe he's doing some kind of mental exercise. " Mirai concluded, still not quite believing
it himself.
" Toussan is playing with Mr. Goten's Daddy! " Bura grinned, poking her head in the room.
" What? " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow at her.
" Toussan told me that he can talk to Mr. Goten's Daddy in his mind! They're connected you know! " she said happily.
" Gohan said that he practices mental sparring sometimes so I guess it's possible. " Mirai said.
Chi-Chi's eyes widened, " You mean while we see Vegeta's real body out here that his mental body is harassing my baby
Go-chan somewhere and I can't even stop him!!!! "
" That's the jist of it. " Mirai responded.
" Ehhh... " Chi-Chi bit her lip, then glanced over at Vegeta, who's face suddenly turned bright red, " AHH! OH MY GOD
WHAT IS HE _DOING_ IN THERE! " she wailed.
" I think I know!! " Bura giggled anxiously.
" NO YOU DON'T!!! " Chi-Chi screamed at her, then slapped Vegeta across the face, causing his eyes to fly wide open.
The red disappearing from his face.
" Making a CALL. HA! " she looked at him with disgust, " YOU SICK LITTLE MONKEY! YOU CAN'T EVEN WAIT TILL WE ACTUALLY
_SEE_ HIM AGAIN BEFORE YOU MESS WITH HIS MIND!!! "
" We weren't doing anything sick at all. " Vegeta rubbed his now in-pain cheek, " Kakay and I were merely having fun
at the beach. "
" What KIND of fun? " she glowered over him.
" Oh YOU'LL never know. " Vegeta smiled as he got up and left the room.
" NOW WHERE ARE YOU GOING!!! "
" The men's room. "
" OH YES, THAT'S RIGHT! RETREAT TO THE BATHROOM TO CONTINUE YOUR EVIL DEEDS! I CAN'T FOLLOW YOU IN THERE BEING THAT
I'M A GIRL!!!! "
" And a psychotic one at that. " Vegeta mumbled under his breath as he entered the bathroom.
" ...I HEARD THAT!!! "
" Veggie? VEGGIE! " Goku shouted, his eyes still closed. He scratched his head, baffled. Vegeta along with the
backround scenery and everything his mind had manufactured had disappeared. Now all that remained was Goku, the volleyball
net, the beachball, and the changing tent, " Aww, he must've gone home....and I was winning too. " Goku dropped the
volleyball to the nonexistent ground when he heard a voice.
" Son Goku! Oh Son? "
The large saiyajin opened his eyes to find himself back in his dressing room wearing his safari outfit, " Ohh, Veggie
gone. " he pouted.
" Mr. Son? " he turned around to see the ringmaster, " Our tightrope walker has been, umm, disposed. We need you to
fill in for him during act 3. Here. " he tossed another costume on Goku's bed, " You're a graceful person, right? You have to
be to fight off those lions. " he left, slamming the door shut behind him.
Goku picked up the new costume, which looked like a body-suited pair of light blue tights, " Hnn, kinky. " he snapped
them in the air.
" So, he took the costume from you, F-sama. " the popcorn guy said as the ringmaster left Goku's dressing room.
" Heh-heh-heh. "
" You didn't tell him what he would be tight-rope-walking OVER, did you? "
" Not a chance. " the ringmaster cackled, " If he knew I was going to have him walk across a thin piece of wire over
a pit of lava do you think he would have even TAKEN the costume? Besides, once we provide some advertising I'm sure this will
bring my little Bobo out of hiding. He's so cheeky, he needs a cold slap on the face every once in a while. The way he
hovered over big boy in there on the way to the ring makes me believe the mere thought of his "hero" in intense mortal danger
would probably cause panic throughout his body! " he smirked, " It will surely bring him out of hiding. "
" You must be anxious to see that monkey prince again. " the popcorn guy snickered.
" Oh I am. And this time when I chop him in half he's going to STAY that way, MUAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAH--*hack*cough*!
*HACKK*! "
" A glass of water, F-sama? "
" *COUGH* *COUGH* Yes please, Dodoria-san....AND NO ICE!!! "
" I bet he's in there playing up that phoney mushy-talk gag with my Go-chan right this very second! " Chi-Chi snarled
as she leaned her forehead against the outside of the Men's Room door.
" You don't know that Chi-Chi, " Mirai said, " He's probably just going to the bathroom. "
" HA! That's what HE wants us to think. " Chi-Chi growled, then broke into a sob, " Oh my poor sweet little Go-chan!
Just the thought of him trying to steal you away and turn you against me PAINS ME SO! " she cried, her hands over her face.
" Well _I_ for one am PROUD of Toussan. " Bura smirked.
" WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU LITTLE OUJI-SPAWN?! " Chi-Chi roared.
" You're always yelling and being mean to Mr. Goten's Daddy all the time. Saying he can't do this and he can't do
that, but TOUSSAN. Toussan truely loves him because Toussan doesn't care about what Mr. Goten's Daddy is doing, he just wants
to make him HAPPY. But that's not good enough for YOU. No you gotta make Mr. Goten's Daddy all sad and cry and THAT'S why he
goes over to see Toussan in the first place. " Bura scoffed, " You are the source of your own problem Mrs. Goten's Mommy. "
" ... " Chi-Chi glared at her, " THAT'S IT! " she kicked open the Men's room door, " ALRIGHT OUJI!!! YOU BETTER OPEN
YOUR EYES AND GET OF MY GO-CHAN'S HEAD RIGHT NOW OR I'LL-- "
" !? " Vegeta turned beat red with embarassment, " WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE!? " he screamed, panickingly pulling up
his training pants, " I TOLD YOU I WAS GOING TO THE BATHROOM!!! " he shrieked, running out of the bathroom, mortified.
Chi-Chi stood there in shock, her jaw hanging wide open.
" Uhh, Chi? " Mirai approached her. Chi-Chi hung her head.
" I'M SO ASHAMED!!! " she wailed. Mirai sweatdropped, " Wait'll Goku hears I don't even trust that ouji enough to go
to the BATHROOM without causing trouble! "
" Don't be so hard on yourself. " Mirai said, trying to console her, " Maybe Toussan WAS plotting something while he
was tinkling, you know, I mean, some of the best plots come when you're peeing....no. Let me think, there's gotta be a nicer
way to say this... "
" Forget it. " Chi-Chi grumbled, leaving, " I'm going to one of the rooms to think things over. "
" Well, alright. " Mirai scratched his head, " Be careful. "
" Uh-huh... "
" URG! Of all the things! " Vegeta snorted, still embarassed, " Of ALL THE PEOPLE to walk in me while I'm doing my
business! I would have rather been seen doing that by--hmmm... " he paused mid-sentence as his eyes fixated upon the gravity
machine in the center of the room, " Let's see how you react when under, say, 10X normal gravity, Onna. " he pressed the
buttons.
" Gravity function increased 10%. " the computer repeated as everything in the room became pressed upon by the high
gravity. Vegeta, however, didn't feel a thing. He smiled and looked around the room.
" Time to check on the others and see how they're doing, I'm sure Mirai and Bura have already easily adjusted to
the gravity change, being related to me DOES have its advantages you know. "
" OH MY GOD!! I CAN'T MOVE!!! " Mirai screamed as he tried his best to stand up, " This is worse than that time and
space room Toussan and I were in!!! "
" My legs hurt Mirai! " Bura cried, also standing up, " What happened!!! "
Chi-Chi, being human, had fallen on her back and was now glaring furiously up at the ceiling, " As soon as I get up,
I will find him, and I will hurt him--VERY BADLY!!! "
" Why hello Onna. " Vegeta said sweetly, " How do you like the change in gravity? "
" Bite me, ouji-boy. " Chi-Chi said bluntly.
" TOUSSAN! WHY DID YOU DO THAT!! WE CAN'T MOVE! " Mirai yelled.
" Don't be a baby, Mirai. It's only 10X normal Earth gravity. This is the way the gravity on Bejito-sei was. I'm sure
if the planet still existed that Kakarrotto-chan and I would easily adjust to the surroundings. Like so. " Vegeta did a
backflip in mid-air and landed back on the ground with no trouble at all. Bura and Mirai gawked at his adaptability, " The
only reason you two aren't able to do that is because you have never trained under heavy gravity before. Saiyajins are very
good at adapting to different gravitational fields, unlike EARTHLINGS. " he smirked at Chi-Chi, who had now started the hard
and painful process of trying to sit up.
Mirai smiled, " OH! I get it! Since we still have a while to go before we face these Circus guys you want to train
Bura and I in different gravity just incase the place we rescue Son-San from has similar surrounds! "
" ... " Vegeta stared at him blankly, " Uh, no. Actually this is just me punishing Onna for interupting my
tinkle-time. "
Mirai and Bura fell to the floor animé style.
" OOOH! I'LL TINKLE YOUR TIME YOU LITTLE MONSTER! " Chi-Chi said, now on her feet, but breathing heavily.
" Amazing, you've managed to get up. " Vegeta said cheerfully, then lightly pushed her with one hand, causing Chi-Chi
to quickly thump back onto the floor, " Try it again. " he cackled maniacally.
" ERRRRR.....RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! " Chi-Chi powered up, causing a red aurora to
surround her the way the blue one did when Vegeta powered up. She easily lept to her feet, " WAIT'LL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!!"
she screamed. Vegeta zipped off down the hall, Chi-Chi racing after him.
Mirai groaned, " This is gonna be a looooooooong trip. "
Bura sweatdropped, " Tell me about it. "
" YA! YA! " the ringmaster smiled to hear his new lion-tamer now room that led to the ring. His whip snapping. The
ringmaster pleasantly peeked into the ring, only to have his jaw drop to the floor at what he saw.
" ...she asked her mother, mother, mother, for 50 cents, cents, cents, to see the elephants, elephants, elephants,
jump over the fence, fence, fence... " Goku sang as two of the lions swung his whip like a jumprope while he and another lion
jumped over it.
" ...WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!!! " the ringmaster shrieked. Goku continued to jump rope with the lion,
then looked up and noticed the ringmaster.
" Oh! Hi Mr. Ringmaster! Guess what I've taught the lions to do? Go on, guess? " he said eagerly.
The ringmaster slapped himself on the face, then sluggishly walked over to where Goku and the lions were, " Son Goku,
do you know WHY I gave you that whip? "
" ...noooooo. " Goku replied.
" Do you know WHAT that whip is SUPPOSED to be used for? "
" ...JUMP-ROPE! " he grinned.
" --Oh God help me. " the ringmaster shook his head, then quickly yanked the whip out of the lions's hands, " IT IS
FOR TAMING THE LIONS SON GOKU!! _NOT_ FOR _PLAYING "jump-rope" WITH THEM!! "
" Well, you have to admit, Leo here IS pretty good. " Goku said proudly, pointing to his fellow jump-roper. The lion
waved happily.
" Ugh! "
" I taught him that too. " Goku pointed to the waving lion, " Veggie, however, could use some work. "
" "Veggie"? " the ringmaster cocked an eyebrow.
" Yeah, the little one. I named him after my own little Veggie back home. I do miss him....very much. *sniffle*. But
that's oh-kay cuz I can still play mental imagination stuff with him. Through our heads. We played at the beach this
morning. " he said, fondly reminicing, " Boy does he know how to spike a volleyball... "
" Urm, yes, well, LISTEN. Oh-kay? " the ringmaster said, brushing Goku away, " This whip is to be used like this. "
he cracked the whip once, then snapped it at one of the lions, " SIT! SIT BOY! "
The lion whinced and did so. Goku frowned.
" Aww that's no way to do that. That's mean! " he quickly took the whip away, then walked over to the lion, " Now
Mr. Peabody, stand up for Daddy. "
The lion stood up, smiling at Goku, " Alright, now roll over....good! Clap your hands....play dead...GREAT JOB MR.
PEABODY!! " he clapped for the lion, then pulled out a big slice of raw meat, " Here's your kitty-treat! " he tossed it into
the lion's mouth. Mr. Peabody ate it in one gulp, " See, isn't that a MUCH better and MUCH nicer way to train 'um. "
The ringmaster looked on in shock, " My ferocious, untameable beasts, turned into KITTENS! "
" Yeah, I have that effect on a lot of people " Goku giggled, " Especially Veggie! "
" The lion? "
" No, the little buddy. " Goku corrected him, then patted Mr. Peabody on the head, " Oh my little Veggie was such a
meanie back in the day...but now he's so SWEET!! " he gave the lion a hug, " You guys stay here and I'll get you some of that
pet ice-cream I found in the fridge. " the saiyajin left the room.
" F-sama, are you oh-kay? " the ticket salesman said, rushing into the room.
The ringmaster muttered to him, agast, " I think I'm going to faint... "
" NOW you tell me the Onna used to be part of the "Z-senshi". " Vegeta rolled his eyes as he hid in the closet with
Mirai and Bura. Chi-Chi was still on the war-path and had declared several minutes ago to destory anyone in her path until
the gravity was returned to normal...well, normal for her anyway.
" Yeah, she was for about 5 years I heard. " Mirai said, " Until she got pregnant with Gohan of course. That's what
Kaasan told me. "
" And THAT'S why she's able to throw ki attacks. " Vegeta said sarcastically as he glanced down at his burned and now
very sore rump.
" Hey, she taught Goten didn't she. Where did YOU think she picked up all that martial arts stuff! " Mirai glanced
over at the ouji.
" I dunno, I thought she just picked it up from Kakarrot. " Vegeta looked down at the ground, " Well men, "
" A-HEM. " Bura made an attention getting cough.
" Men and little girls, " Vegeta corrected himself.
" Thank you. " Bura did a small curtsy.
" We have to find a way to sneak out of here before the Onna blasts the rest of our hides. The fact that she slowly
seems to be adapting to the gravity is not a good thing. "
" My father the genius. " Mirai rolled his eyes.
" Also the fact that she seems to share my similar fighting style of surprise and sneak attacks does not bode well
for our side. Therefore we must attack her directly...that is, if we run into her...which I am hoping we do not....is that
clear? "
" As clear as it could be Toussan. " Mirai nodded.
" Now, I sense she is in the far side of the ship. I believe we should make our move now. " Vegeta smirked, then
slowly opened the door only to have a large mallet collide with the top of his head, knocking him to the floor.
" AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! FEEL THE WRATH OF THE SCORNED HOUSEWIFE, DOER OF EVIL!! " Chi-Chi laughed an
almost Vegeta-like laugh, then noticed Mirai and Bura and glared at them, " YOU! " she pointed towards Mirai, who gulped.
" Yuh-yuh-yes? " Mirai gulped at Chi-Chi's now militant-style of clothes. She was wearing a white bandana around her
forehead and had her bazooka along with ammunition strapped to her back.
" SHOW ME TO THE GRAVITY MACHINE SO YOU CAN TURN IT OFF--FOR GOOD! "
" Yes Ma'am! " Mirai nodded obediently, then whispered downward, " Bura you take care of Toussan, I'll be right back.
Understand? "
" Hai! " Bura hid behind a box in the closet as she watched them leave, then, when the coast was clear, zipped over
to Vegeta, " Toussan! Oh Toussan wake up! "
" Uh, ohhhhh... " Vegeta groaned in pain. He opened his eyes to see a blurry blue blob infront of him. His vision
focused, " Buh--Bura? "
" TOUSSAN! " she squealed, hugging him, " YOU'RE OH-KAY! "
Vegeta sat up, " Wha, wha happened? "
" Oh Toussan-chan it was terrible! Mrs. Goten's Mommy hit you over the head with a mallet! " Bura cried, squeezing
him tight.
" ...you're kidding! And THAT alone knocked me unconsious!? "
" It's the gravity. It probably felt like a 2 ton bolder the way she was swinging it! " Bura explained.
" Ohhhhh, where's Mirai? "
" She took him hostage! She wants Mirai to shut the gravity machine off. "
Vegeta tried to stand up, Bura helped him, " Well, in that case you better take me to my room. We'll be safe in there
. "
" But, what about Mirai? "
" Hmm? Oh he can handle himself. " Vegeta shrugged, then smirked, " Besides, I have something to show you. "
" Really? " Bura's eyes widened.
" You know my little black book I write stuff in? "
" YEAH? " Bura grinned excitedly.
" How'd you like to take a peek, you know, just a little peek. " he said sneakily.
" WOW! YOU MEAN IT!! " Bura said with big sparkily eyes. She stopped, " Hey, you NEVER let me look at that book, did
Mrs. Goten's Mommy hit you over the head too hard? "
" No, let's just say she's given me another "evil plot" that "happens" to do with my little black book. " Vegeta
snickered evilly, " Now follow me, my room's down the hall. "
Bura cheered, " YIPPEE! "
" Ohhhhhh... " Bura sat on the floor of Vegeta's "room", reading the little black book in awe, " This is the most
beautiful collection of love poems and songs I have EVER seen! " she hugged the book, " Toussan you're SO romantic! " Bura
squealed.
" They're NOT "love" poems and I'm NOT "romantic". " Vegeta snorted in disgust, " Now B-chan, let me ask you
something. "
" ANYTHING Toussan! " she smiled, flipping through the pages.
" How good are you at forgery? "
" ...what? "
" Forgery; the art of writing something in another person's handwriting style! " Vegeta explained, slightly annoyed.
" Oh, Panny's really good at that. She taught me how to do it a couple weeks ago when I was over at her house playing
on the kiddie tennis courts with her. "
" I don't care how well Gohan's daughter can forge things...how good are you at it? "
" Mmm, pretty good I guess. "
" Do you know what Kakarrotto's handwriting looks like, B-chan? " Vegeta asked, smirking.
Bura stared at him for a moment until the idea it her and a similar smirk appeared on her face, " O-Toussan! You are
so CLE-VER! " she giggled.
" So you know what it looks like? "
" Oh yeah! Mr. Goten's Daddy has this cute big-lettered sloppy kind of handwriting. " Bura nodded.
" If I dictated something to you do you think you could write it in the next blank page of my little black book in
Kakarrotto's handwriting? " Vegeta asked.
" Yup! " Bura chirped.
" Alright then, start it off like this... "
" ...the unsurpassable strength at which my soul yearns for you can never truely be satisfied for it's hunger grows
ever so for each second that passes when I am no longer in your sweet sweet presence. "
" Hnn... " Bura bit her lip as she paused from writing down Vegeta's dictation.
" What? What is it? "
" I don't know Toussan, I've written a couple pages of this stuff but... "
" BUT? " he cocked an eyebrow at her.
" It, well it just doesn't sound like something Mr. Goten's Daddy would say. He's got a completely different accent
than you do. " she said, " Besides I don't think he even knows what "yearn" means. "
" ....yeah you're right. I did go a little overboard didn't I? " Vegeta grumbled as he layed on the bed.
" You might say that. " Bura sweatdropped.
" Alright, alright. Let's try something that sounds a little more "Kako-ish". " Vegeta folded his arms while Bura
flipped to a fresh page, " I'm never going to give that Onna a good scare if Kakarrot's "handwriting" doesn't sound like it
was written by Kakarrot. "
" Good point. " Bura said.
" Oh-kay, how about this: "Oh little Veggie, Chi-chan is such a meanie. She yells at me all the time and it makes me
want to cry and wish I lived with you instead. You wouldn't mind if I wanted to live with you instead of that WITCH-- "
" *A-hem*! Toussan, you're turning back into your own lingo. " Bura grumbled.
" Huh? Oh, sorry. "if I lived with you I wouldn't have to be yelled at anymore and we can stay in your room and play
games together and eat fish and tell each other scare stories and have sleepovers every night...I love you my favorite lil
buddy Veggie-chan-chan please say you'll let me be your roomate and I promise I'll do my best to make you happy. Love, your
big buddy 'Kaka-chan'." " he finished just as Bura finished writing.
" PERFECT! " Bura clasped her hands together, " You sound JUST LIKE Mr. Goten's Daddy! "
" Yeah, well, you hang around Kakarrotto enough you'll start talking like him too if you're not careful. " Vegeta
boasted, " Now, how about we show this little gem to Onna and see her reaction, ne? "
" Mmm-hmm! " Bura grinned, hugging the little black book. The gravity had been returned to normal for the past 10
minutes and the halls were now quiet again, " Oh Mrs. Goten's Mommy, where are you? We have something BEAUTIFUL to show you
that I KNOW you'll enjoy reading. "
" Really? " Bura paused and turend around to see Chi-Chi looking down at her, also now back to normal. Mirai was
hanging upside-down by his feet, bound and gagged behind her from the ceiling. He looked as if he had been smacked across the
face a couple times.
" Yes, really. " Bura giggled, " It's something Mr. Goten's Daddy wrote to Toussan just the other day. "
Chi-Chi looked up and did a double-take. Vegeta had teleported behind Bura and was grinning an evil grin at her. She
narrowed her eyes at the ouji.
" Give me that! " she swiped the book from Bura and flipped through the pages of Vegeta's handwriting until she got
to several pages in the very back, followed by a blank page, and then a couple more pages, all in what looked like Goku's
handwriting, " Why it is my Go-chan's. I'd recognize those poorly-dotted "i"s anywhere. " she blinked, then read the first
line of Bura and Vegeta's first more ouji-like draft of Goku's letter and fainted.
" MMph-MMPH! " Mirai gawked through his gag.
" ONNA!? " Vegeta shouted, picking up the book.
" Wow, that was fast. " Bura said, impressed.
" Ohhhh, " Vegeta grumbled as he read the following lines, " She didn't last long enough to even get to the juicy
part! " he said, then smirked, " I'm better at this than I thought. "

END OF PART 2
Chuquita: And so ends part two!
Goku: (staring at Veggie while thinking) Hmm...
Vegeta: (realizes he's being stared at) What?
Goku: Chu-sama, I wonder what would happen if I hugged little Veggie while we were both wearing our snazzy bubble-suits.
Vegeta: (freezes in place) NO.
Chuquita: (ignoring Veggie) Go on Son-kun, give him a squeeze and find out.
Goku: YAY! [grabs Veggie & hugs him] Oh little Veggie!
*POP*POP*POP*POP*POP*POP*
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) [now with the majority of his bubbles popped] Uhhhhhhh...
Goku: (giggles; also having popped large amount of his own gi) Heeheehee!
Vegeta: (still glowing) (spacing out) Uhhhhhhhhhhh...
Goku: (pauses) Veggie?
Vegeta: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....
Goku: (wails) CHU-SAMA I BROKE VEGGIE!!
Vegeta: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
Chuquita: (slaps herself on the forehead) Just let go of him, I'm sure he'll get back to normal like he always does.
Vegeta: (snaps out of it) (glares at her) Are you saying I'm ABnormal? UNusual? A FREAK of nature? A natural freak?
Chuquita: (groans) Oh boy, here we go. (to Veggie) No Veggie, all I was saying is that you NORMALLY space out after being
hugged to long.
Vegeta: (insinuating) Or while wearing something someone SHOULD NOT BE WEARING WHILE HUGGING yours truely.
Goku: Silly Veggie! (grin)
Vegeta: Alright, let go.
Goku: Huh?
Vegeta: I said let go of me.
Goku: [drops his arms to his side] I did.
[both look down]
Son & Veggie: AHH! WE'RE STUCK!!!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Well I guess we know what happens when you push two pieces of bubblewrap together now, don't we?
Vegeta: (beginning to panic) AHHH! THIS IS NOT GOOD!
Goku: I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!
Vegeta: Uhh--uhh, I KNOW! PULL!
Goku: Huh?
Vegeta: YES! (to Son) Kakarrotto on the count of 3 I want you to pull back as hard as you can in your direction. I will do
the same in the opposite direction.
Chuquita: Veggie? That's not gonna wor--
Vegeta: (to Chu) SILENCE, GIRL! (to Son) NOW PULL!
[both saiyajins pull back, the bubblewrap stretches along with them until they are at opposite sides of the room]
Vegeta: Almost....got it...
Goku: Urrg....
Chuquita: (pulls out a bucket of popcorn & starts munching)
Vegeta: (slips on his bubblewrap boot and both head speeding towards each other until they collide and fall to the floor)
(groans in pain) OhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHhhhhh...
Goku: EHhhhHHHehhehhHHHhoOOOHHHHHh MY TUMMY HURTS!!!
Vegeta: Obviously this is not working.
Chuquita: (no comment)
Vegeta: We need to get out of this mess, but HOW?
Chuquita: Simple, somebody unzip their bubble-clothes and leave.
Vegeta: We CAN'T, we're stuck TOGETHER!
Goku: (starts on his hunt for his gi's back zipper)
Vegeta: WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!
Goku: I'm going to unzip myself, I HAVE to go to the BATHROOM!
Vegeta: (gawks) YOU'RE NOT UNZIPPING THAT IN FRONT OF _ALL THESE PEOPLE_!!!
[lights flash upon the audiance of millions, all staring down at the two saiyajins]
Goku: (unphased) So?
Vegeta: SO! (growls) DON'T YOU PEASANTS HAVE ANY PRIDE! YOU CAN'T MARCH OUT OF HERE WITHOUT CLOTHES!!!
Goku: If I stay here without being able to reach the bathroom you're gonna get wet.
Vegeta: ...I'll close my eyes. [covers his eyes with his hands]
Goku: Thank you. [unzips himself and jogs off to the bathroom] [closes the bathroom door; various screams are heard] [Son
zips out of the room] Heh-heh, (blushing) wrong bathroom, (pokes into room) Sorry ladies! Heh-heh, [walks into the Men's
room next door]
Vegeta: Can I open my eyes now?
Chuquita: Yeah, I think so.
Vegeta: Good. [flushing sound is heard] (yelps and covers his eyes again)
Goku: [comes jogging back into the Corner studio au natural, gets back into his bubble-gi and zips up] I'M DONE! (big grin)
(audiance cheers him; some whistles can be heard towards him)
Vegeta: (opens his eyes to see Son grinning at him) (angry) NOW WHAT DID _THAT_ ACCOMPLISH! WE'RE STILL STUCK!!!!
Goku: Actually I accomplished a lot. (happily) Did you know they have a special machine that dries your hands now without you
having to use a paper towel It's AMAZING!
Vegeta: (stares at him flatly) You moron.
Goku: (blinks; confused)
Chuquita: Well, actualy he proved that you aren't stuck together, just your clothes are.
Vegeta: (sarcasm) Oh great! Whoopee! That REALLY helps us NOW.
Chuquita: It's oh-kay, I have extra bubblewrap stuff/clothes for you guys backstage, you can choose colors this time.
Goku: (cheers) WHEEE! [runs offstage eagerly; Veggie floating in the breeze behind him screaming]
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) See you in Part 3 of "Under the Big Top" everyone! (waves) Bye
Goku: (giggles) Bubbles are fun!
Vegeta: (moans) Somebody HELP me!

Quote of the Week: -"Blue" from Cowboy Bebop
Everything is clearer now
Life is just a dream you know
That's never ending
I'm ascending
Chuey's Corner:
Vegeta: (to Chu) Now how you can go from Spongebob Squarepants quote of the weeks to Cowboy Bebop is beyond me.
Chuquita: Well I happened upon this site that has lyrics from different animés and I remembered how much I liked this song.
In fact I liked a lot of songs from that show.
Goku: (pouty-faced) What about me?
Chuquita: Oh, I found dbz stuff too. I found this one "Veggie Image" song called "Jan Janka My Way".
Goku: "My Way"...yup, sounds like Veggie.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops)
Chuquita: Of course it was in Japanese so I can't translate it. I was thinking of going to find a search engine or someone
to translate it for me. I'm curious about what Veggie's "Image" song sounds like.
Goku: (giggles)
Vegeta: What are you laughing about?
Goku: Nothin.
Chuquita: They had a cute one there about Son-San and his Kinto-cloud too. But one that really caught my eye was from Movie
12; you know the one with Goggie in it where you two fuse and--
Vegeta: --like we haven't heard you gab about that movie a million times.
Chuquita: (whacks him with a random object) Veggie shush! Anyways, this was a song from the movie called "Saikyo No Fyuujon"
which, just guessing, means Saiyajin blood fusion.
Vegeta: I know what it means.
Goku: (smiles) Really?
Vegeta: But I'm not telling.
Goku: (frowns) Awwww....
Chuquita: Because he's a--
Goku: --MEANIE! (blows a raspberry at Veggie and pops more of his bubblewrap gi in protest)
Vegeta: (rolls his eyes)
Chuquita: Yeah, well, this one actually had a translation side-by-side it. And for the life of me I could've sworn Bura had
a hand in writing this one.
Goku: *POP*! Heeheehee.
Vegeta: (Cocks an eyebrow) Really?
Chuquita: Would you like a sample?
Goku: (excitedly) Cheese on a stick?!
Chuquita: ...
Vegeta: (to Son) What?
Chuquita: Nevermind him. Here, "Dragonball (I embrace anger)
Dragonball (I shy away from pain)
Our combined hearts blossom into a graceful rose"
Vegeta: (shocked; disgusted; and frightened) ...you're kidding, right?
Goku: I'm the one saying the "pain" line, aren't I? (grins)
Chuquita: I figured Veggie's gotta be the "anger" one so, yeah, that leaves you with the "pain".
Vegeta: (grumbles) Someone's gonna pay for comparing me and Kakarrotto's "combined hearts" as a "graceful rose".
Goku: (big happy smile) I am graceful Veggie! [falls out of his chair, smacking his head on the desk on the way down]
Chuquita: (laughs at him)
Vegeta: (groans) God help me...EVEN THE SONG WRITERS ARE IN ON THIS!!!!
Chuquita: (grinning evilly) Would you like to see more?
Vegeta: (sighs) Why not, it can't be any worse than that "rose" line up there.
Chuquita: A-hem. Another line from the "graceful" fusion song; this time from Veggie's verse:
"Yes! Although I hate love
Yes! Although I admire love
Our friendship has changed
into a hot ray of light
Yes! The power of Saiya within us Yes! Dwells in the time we dream
Who doesn't believe it yet?"
Vegeta: (slams his head down on the desk) Take me, take me NOW!
Goku: The silly japanese fusion song DOES seem to capture Veggie's many confused emotions.
Vegeta: SHUTUP! [slams his head down again]
Chuquita: I have one last verse before we start part 2.
Vegeta: (emotionally in pain) Must you?
Chuquita: Yes, I must. A-hem. The last little nugget of joy from DBZ Movie 12's "Saikyo No Fyuujon":
"I am the sun
You are the moon
Let's dissolve into this miracle power
As we put our fingers together
Our souls unite
Return to the fighting history...The strongest fusion"
Chuquita: That it is. (nods) That it is.
Goku: (beaming) Tell me Veggie am I the sun or am I the moon?
Chuquita: You're the sun, Son.
Goku: (giggles) Heeheehee, Sun--Son. Sun-Son-San!
Vegeta: (groans in agony) Just get one with the story already! (sits up) The number of people who find it entertaining to toy
with my relationship with Kakarrotto is ASTOUNDING!!!
Chuquita: Yeah, who knew it reached this far. I sure didn't.
Vegeta: At least you don't write songs.
Goku: I wrote a song! [holds up a sheet] (grins; reading) I had a wet noodle named Fred, I had hit him over the head, when I
went out to play, while I was a-way, I came back to find him now dead.
Chuquita: Uh....
Vegeta: (sarcastic) BRILLIANT, Kakarrotto.
Goku: (blushes) Aww, ya mean it Veggie?
Vegeta: (turns away to avoid glowing) Uh, yeah, it must have taken you FOREVER to think up that one.
Goku: Nope, I made it up just now.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops)
Chuquita: And now, Part 2!
Summary: 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! Will they convience him to come home or will the saiyajin be stuck doing circus odd-jobs for the
rest of his life? And where does Freeza fit into all this? Find out!
Ages:
Bura: 8
Goten: 8
Trunks: 9
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Hai! Kirai ai nagara. Hai! Mitome ai nagara Ore-tachi no yuujou wa. Atsui hikari ni kawatta. Hai! Saiya no chikara
Hai! Yume ga yadoru. Dare mo mada shinjinai! " Vegeta hummed happily to himself as he rumaged through the refridgerator.
" What are you doing home so early? " the ouji glanced over his shoulder to see Bulma staring at him, cocking her
head, " I thought you were going to the circus with Son-kun, Mirai, and Bura? "
" I already did. " Vegeta grinned as he started to walk out of the room, his arms full of food.
Bulma scratched her head, confused.
" Toussan! Don't I look beautiful! " Bura said. The ouji looked down to see she was now dressed in what looked like
a hot-pink version of his saiyajin armor. Vegeta sweatdropped, " I wanna look my best for when we go out in space to save
Mr. Goten's Daddy. I was trying for something that says, "I'm cute AND I can kick your can". " she spun around like a fashion
model.
" You're taking Bura with you into SPACE!? " Bulma gawked, still uninformed, " And where IS Son anyway? "
" You wouldn't believe it if I told you. " Mirai said, entering the room.
" Well, tell me anyway. Us geniuses have a right to know what's going on to, not to mention the fact that you and
Bura are my own children! " Bulma put her hands on her hips.
" Alright, it all started when--MMPH! " Vegeta slapped one hand over Mirai's mouth and leaned towards Bulma.
" Bul-chan before Mirai opens his big mouth you have to promise me that you will NOT repeat ONE WORD OF IT to the
ONNA, this is MY Kaka-rescue mission, GOT IT! " he warned her.
" "rescue mission"? " Bulma repeated. Vegeta removed his hand.
" As I was saying.. " Mirai said, a little more annoyed then before, " We went to the Circus and the ringmaster
called for a volunteer. Of course he chose Son-San. For some odd reason Toussan decided to go down to the center ring with
him. "
" To protect his lil Kakay-chan if something terrible happened to him! " Bura added, giggling.
" They were both volunteers for a couple tricks and Son got so impressed he wanted to be in the Circus too. And
Toussan let him do it for a couple double-motives of his just so he would have Son-San out in space along with him and have
it not be his fault. To sum it up, Son's going into space, we're going after him to save him. " Mirai explained.
" Oh, is that all. " Bulma said, kind of disappointed, " I was sure it was something having to do with a villian
"more powerful than anything you've ever faced before", but I think I've seen everything so I'm not surprised. "
Mirai sighed, " We'll try to be back by dinnertime. "
" Ha! YOU maybe... " Vegeta trailed off.
" What's THAT supposed to mean? " Bulma narrowed her eyes.
" Toussan's planning on taking Son on a tour across the galaxy once we save him. " Mirai said flatly.
" Wow, that's unusually nice of him. " Bulma said, suspicious.
" Yes, I AM a nice person, aren't I. " Vegeta boasted, " And, by the way, it's UNIVERSE, not GALAXY. " he corrected
Mirai, who headed for the front door with his item-packed sleeping bag.
" *DING-DONG*! " he paused as the door infront of rang, " *DING-DONG-DING-DONG-DING-DONG*!!! " it rang more
aggresively. Mirai cautiously opened the door, only to have it fling wide open and smash him into the wall behind it.
Chi-Chi stood in the doorway, steaming. Gohan and Goten stood nervously behind her, " Fee fii fo fum, I smell OUJI! "
she zipped over to Vegeta, grabbed him, and held him up by the collar.
" Onna. " he said casually.
" Ouji. " she glared back.
" Why, what brings YOU to my humble abode? " Vegeta said teasingly.
" WHERE IS HE! " she slammed him against the wall.
" Who? " the ouji asked innocently.
" YOU KNOW WHO!!! " Chi-Chi shouted in his face, " I was sitting at home minding my own business when all of a sudden
I got a sharp pain in my head, the same one I get everytime my Go-chan is in trouble and if he's in trouble you're BOUND to
be in on it! "
" Well, she's got that part right. " Mirai said, unpeeling himself from the wall.
" If you MUST know, Kakay's joined the circus. " Vegeta smiled.
" The circus? " Chi-Chi said skeptically, dropping him.
" Yes, an interplanetary circus. One that travels all across the stars to enterain those wishing to be entertained.
He wants to be a lion-tamer. "
" Why go into space, we've got the King of the Beasts right here. " Bulma joked.
" I'll pretend I didn't hear that. " Vegeta said stubbornly, " Kakay's foolish choice will most likely end in misery
so I have decided to take it upon myself to save him from such a terrible end and show him the REAL gems the galaxy has to
offer. "
" Universe. " Mirai corrected him.
" SHUSH BOY! " Vegeta snapped, then continued, " I am bringing little B-chan along with Mirai to accompany myself on
this treacherous journey that only one who is TRUELY experianced in space-travel can accomplish. "
" Like YOU. " Chi-Chi glared.
" Yes, like ME. " Vegeta said proudly.
" Calm down Chi-Chi, he does have the experiance, besides Vegeta said he'd bring Goku back home for dinner. " Bulma
said, trying to keep Chi-Chi's temper from erupting.
" Of course he'll bring my Go-chan home for dinner--AND THEN RUN BACK OUT THERE TO HIS SPACESHIP AND FLY OFF WITH HIM
FOR GOOD THIS TIME!!! "
" To tell the truth Onna, I wasn't even planning on coming back...right away. " the ouji mused, then snickered.
" You're coming back by dinnertime. " Bulma said bluntly.
" I'm coming back by dinnertime. " he repeated, then sweatdropped.
" Thank God we have Bulma around. " Chi-Chi muttered, then smirked at the ouji's obedience to the blue-hairred
scientist.
" Maybe we should come too, " Gohan said, speaking up for the first time since the Sons had gotten there, " I mean,
he is MY dad, I wouldn't feel right just staying here while-- "
" --not enough room to fit you, sorry. " Vegeta quickly responded, then handed his stuff to Mirai, " Here take these
to the gravity room. "
" Huh? " Mirai blinked.
" The OLD ONE!! "
" ...OHHH, got it! " Mirai said, then dashed outside.
" Not enough room! Vegeta you could house up to 10 people in that thing! " Bulma exclaimed.
" ...oh. " the ouji looked around, " Then there's not enough room to store all the FOOD we would need. We saiyajins
eat a LOT of food. "
" I can believe that. " Chi-Chi remarked. She and Vegeta silently glared at one another for several seconds. The ouji
resumed speaking.
" And there's barely enough room to fit food for Mirai, Bura and I. B-chan doesn't eat much but still. "
" You know who ELSE doesn't eat like a cow? " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes.
" You want to come with us, eh Onna? " Vegeta said, amused.
" I _WANT_ to be there so that after you save Go-chan you don't do anything MANIPULATING to him. " she stomped over
to him.
" Mirai would stop me. " Vegeta shrugged.
" Yes, but you and Bura overpower him 2 to 1. That's why I'm coming along! " Chi-Chi said, determined.
" Heh...are you? " Vegeta nodded, then shouted, " B-CHAN! TO THE SHIP! " he sped off out the front door, quickly
followed by Bura.
" YOU COME BACK HERE OUJI!! " Chi-Chi screamed, racing after the duo.
Vegeta and Bura lept inside the old gravity room, " Mirai! " the ouji ordered, " Hit the ignition! "
" What? NOW? " Mirai gawked, confused.
" HERE I COME YOU LITTLE DEMON! " she roared just as the ship was taking off. Chi-Chi took a running leap into the
open door of the spaceship, knocking Vegeta onto the floor as she did so, " TAKE THAT YOU, YOU--WAHHH!!! " Chi-Chi quickly
lost her death-grip around Vegeta's throat and yelped as she slammed into the ceiling.
" You know Onna, you really should wear a seatbelt. " Vegeta commented.
" Shutup. "
" Wha--what just happened? " Bura said, surprised.
" Space, B-chan. Space. " Vegeta smiled. Bura unstrapped herself from her chair and floated over to the window while
the ouji pressed a button to close the door.
" Oh Toussan! It's BEAUTIFUL!! " she said in awe, " And this is what you used to do everyday before you met
Mr. Goten's Daddy? WOW! "
" Hai, it is indeed a very beautiful place, he unstrapped his own chair and floated upward.
" HEY! GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!! " Chi-Chi yelled, still floating up near the ceiling.
" Very well. " Vegeta smirked, then turned a knob on the control panel.
" Natural gravity simulation on. " the computer said. Chi-Chi blinked, then wailed as she fell to the ground with a
thump.
" Ohhhhh... " Chi-Chi got up, " I swear you did that on purpose. " she pointed to Vegeta.
" Of course I did it on purpose. " he chuckled, " I'm "evil", remember? "
" OOOH!! " she boiled, then folded her arms, " Hmmph! " Chi-Chi looked around the ship, " Hey, this looks awful
familiar. "
" It's the ship you so sadly attempted to save Kakarrotto-chan in the first time, remember? " Vegeta chuckled.
" Are you insulting me? "
" Maybe. "
" WHAT?! "
Vegeta snickered, " Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Hard to tell. " he walked past her, " Now if you'll excuse me, I've
got a call to make. "
::Kakarrotto. Kakarrotto? KAKARROTTO YOU IDIOT! PICK UP!!!::
" Huh? " Goku bolted to attention. He was standing in his dressing room in his lion tamer's outfit, " Little Veggie?
Is that you? " he looked around the room.
::Yes, it is I, "little Veggie".::
::LITTLE VEGGIE!:: Goku squealed. Vegeta grabbed the sides of his head in pain.
::Not so LOUD!::
" Oh-kay, *little Veggie*. " he said in a whisper, " How's that? "
::Better.:: the voice in Goku's head grumbled, ::So? Did you miss me?::
" Oh of COURSE I missed you lil Veggie, you silly. " the larger saiyajin giggled, then mentally felt Vegeta's face
turn bright red.
::I have something important to tell you.:: Vegeta choked up, trying to regain what logic and reason had temporarily
had a meltdown do to the glowing, " All you have to do is close your eyes. " he said, doing so himself.
" Oh-kay Veggie! " Goku gave him a thumbs-up sign and then closed his eyes, " Now what? "
::Consentrate hard on the darkness before you. Consentrate VERY HARD.::
" Yes my Veggie. " Goku snickered at the ouji's fake-seriousness, then, with his eyes still closed, looked down to
see the rest of him, " WHOA! I can see through my eye-lids! A-MAZING!! "
" It's not "amazing" you baka, it's mental imagery! " Goku glanced up to see Vegeta standing infront of him, looking
skeptical.
" WOW! I can see Veggie in my head! " Goku grinned, pointing at him, " And you're not nakee this time! "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " Yes, well... " he said uncomfortably.
" Hey, is this that same thing you did when I saw you in my head while I was having that heart injury thing back when
we met Mirai? " he asked eagerly.
" Similar, only I'm much more trained in this "mental training" thing now. " Vegeta boasted, " For instance, would
you like to go to the beach, Kakay? " he snapped his fingers and the darkness around them instantly turned into a beach.
Goku's jaw hung open, " MAN VEGGIE THAT IS SO COOL!!! " he whooped, " I had NO IDEA you could do THAT! "
" Heh-heh, I can do many things, Kaka-chan. " the ouji smiled, " And I bet you could do it too. Why don't you think
of something and see what happens? "
" Oh-kay. " Goku nodded, " Let's see, I'm at the beach so--I WANT A BEACHBALL! " in a poof of smoke a large beachball
appeared infront of him, " Make it orange! "
Another poof.
" With blue and white polka-dots! " Goku waved his arms in the air. The desired patterned instantly appeared on the
beachball. He picked up the beachball & hugged it, " Hmm. " Goku looked around, " I've got a beachball and I've got Veggie &
I've got a beach, the only thing I'm missing now is A VOLLEYBALL NET! "
" *POOF*! "
" So little Veggie, how would you like to volley with me? " the bigger saiyajin asked, grinning.
" Sure. Just let me get my swim-trunks. " Vegeta snapped his fingers and was now wearing them, along with a lifeguard
whistle that hung around his neck.
" ME NEXT ME NEXT! " Goku said, then dashed off of the beach to an outhouse and returned 10 minutes later in his own
swim-trunks.
Vegeta sweatdropped, " You know you COULD have just snapped your fingers instead of doing all THAT! "
" Chi-chan says I shouldn't get changed in public anymore, "it's indecent". " he quoted.
Vegeta made an even bigger sweatdrop.
" NOW LET'S PLAY! "
" Hi Chi-Chi what are you-- "
" --SHH! " Chi-Chi interupted Mirai, who had just entered the room, " Look. " she whispered as she leaned against the
wall. Vegeta was sitting on the floor in the middle of the room with his eyes closed and a big smile on his face, " Look at
him! He's ENJOYING himself. "
" Yeah, so? " Mirai said, confused.
" He's ENJOYING himself WITHOUT Goku around. "
" ...oh. " Mirai's face drooped, " Maybe he's just, you know, meditating. "
" Mirai, Piccolo meditates. Vegeta schemes evil plots. " Chi-Chi said flatly.
" Hmm, well in that case, maybe he's doing some kind of mental exercise. " Mirai concluded, still not quite believing
it himself.
" Toussan is playing with Mr. Goten's Daddy! " Bura grinned, poking her head in the room.
" What? " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow at her.
" Toussan told me that he can talk to Mr. Goten's Daddy in his mind! They're connected you know! " she said happily.
" Gohan said that he practices mental sparring sometimes so I guess it's possible. " Mirai said.
Chi-Chi's eyes widened, " You mean while we see Vegeta's real body out here that his mental body is harassing my baby
Go-chan somewhere and I can't even stop him!!!! "
" That's the jist of it. " Mirai responded.
" Ehhh... " Chi-Chi bit her lip, then glanced over at Vegeta, who's face suddenly turned bright red, " AHH! OH MY GOD
WHAT IS HE _DOING_ IN THERE! " she wailed.
" I think I know!! " Bura giggled anxiously.
" NO YOU DON'T!!! " Chi-Chi screamed at her, then slapped Vegeta across the face, causing his eyes to fly wide open.
The red disappearing from his face.
" Making a CALL. HA! " she looked at him with disgust, " YOU SICK LITTLE MONKEY! YOU CAN'T EVEN WAIT TILL WE ACTUALLY
_SEE_ HIM AGAIN BEFORE YOU MESS WITH HIS MIND!!! "
" We weren't doing anything sick at all. " Vegeta rubbed his now in-pain cheek, " Kakay and I were merely having fun
at the beach. "
" What KIND of fun? " she glowered over him.
" Oh YOU'LL never know. " Vegeta smiled as he got up and left the room.
" NOW WHERE ARE YOU GOING!!! "
" The men's room. "
" OH YES, THAT'S RIGHT! RETREAT TO THE BATHROOM TO CONTINUE YOUR EVIL DEEDS! I CAN'T FOLLOW YOU IN THERE BEING THAT
I'M A GIRL!!!! "
" And a psychotic one at that. " Vegeta mumbled under his breath as he entered the bathroom.
" ...I HEARD THAT!!! "
" Veggie? VEGGIE! " Goku shouted, his eyes still closed. He scratched his head, baffled. Vegeta along with the
backround scenery and everything his mind had manufactured had disappeared. Now all that remained was Goku, the volleyball
net, the beachball, and the changing tent, " Aww, he must've gone home....and I was winning too. " Goku dropped the
volleyball to the nonexistent ground when he heard a voice.
" Son Goku! Oh Son? "
The large saiyajin opened his eyes to find himself back in his dressing room wearing his safari outfit, " Ohh, Veggie
gone. " he pouted.
" Mr. Son? " he turned around to see the ringmaster, " Our tightrope walker has been, umm, disposed. We need you to
fill in for him during act 3. Here. " he tossed another costume on Goku's bed, " You're a graceful person, right? You have to
be to fight off those lions. " he left, slamming the door shut behind him.
Goku picked up the new costume, which looked like a body-suited pair of light blue tights, " Hnn, kinky. " he snapped
them in the air.
" So, he took the costume from you, F-sama. " the popcorn guy said as the ringmaster left Goku's dressing room.
" Heh-heh-heh. "
" You didn't tell him what he would be tight-rope-walking OVER, did you? "
" Not a chance. " the ringmaster cackled, " If he knew I was going to have him walk across a thin piece of wire over
a pit of lava do you think he would have even TAKEN the costume? Besides, once we provide some advertising I'm sure this will
bring my little Bobo out of hiding. He's so cheeky, he needs a cold slap on the face every once in a while. The way he
hovered over big boy in there on the way to the ring makes me believe the mere thought of his "hero" in intense mortal danger
would probably cause panic throughout his body! " he smirked, " It will surely bring him out of hiding. "
" You must be anxious to see that monkey prince again. " the popcorn guy snickered.
" Oh I am. And this time when I chop him in half he's going to STAY that way, MUAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAH--*hack*cough*!
*HACKK*! "
" A glass of water, F-sama? "
" *COUGH* *COUGH* Yes please, Dodoria-san....AND NO ICE!!! "
" I bet he's in there playing up that phoney mushy-talk gag with my Go-chan right this very second! " Chi-Chi snarled
as she leaned her forehead against the outside of the Men's Room door.
" You don't know that Chi-Chi, " Mirai said, " He's probably just going to the bathroom. "
" HA! That's what HE wants us to think. " Chi-Chi growled, then broke into a sob, " Oh my poor sweet little Go-chan!
Just the thought of him trying to steal you away and turn you against me PAINS ME SO! " she cried, her hands over her face.
" Well _I_ for one am PROUD of Toussan. " Bura smirked.
" WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU LITTLE OUJI-SPAWN?! " Chi-Chi roared.
" You're always yelling and being mean to Mr. Goten's Daddy all the time. Saying he can't do this and he can't do
that, but TOUSSAN. Toussan truely loves him because Toussan doesn't care about what Mr. Goten's Daddy is doing, he just wants
to make him HAPPY. But that's not good enough for YOU. No you gotta make Mr. Goten's Daddy all sad and cry and THAT'S why he
goes over to see Toussan in the first place. " Bura scoffed, " You are the source of your own problem Mrs. Goten's Mommy. "
" ... " Chi-Chi glared at her, " THAT'S IT! " she kicked open the Men's room door, " ALRIGHT OUJI!!! YOU BETTER OPEN
YOUR EYES AND GET OF MY GO-CHAN'S HEAD RIGHT NOW OR I'LL-- "
" !? " Vegeta turned beat red with embarassment, " WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE!? " he screamed, panickingly pulling up
his training pants, " I TOLD YOU I WAS GOING TO THE BATHROOM!!! " he shrieked, running out of the bathroom, mortified.
Chi-Chi stood there in shock, her jaw hanging wide open.
" Uhh, Chi? " Mirai approached her. Chi-Chi hung her head.
" I'M SO ASHAMED!!! " she wailed. Mirai sweatdropped, " Wait'll Goku hears I don't even trust that ouji enough to go
to the BATHROOM without causing trouble! "
" Don't be so hard on yourself. " Mirai said, trying to console her, " Maybe Toussan WAS plotting something while he
was tinkling, you know, I mean, some of the best plots come when you're peeing....no. Let me think, there's gotta be a nicer
way to say this... "
" Forget it. " Chi-Chi grumbled, leaving, " I'm going to one of the rooms to think things over. "
" Well, alright. " Mirai scratched his head, " Be careful. "
" Uh-huh... "
" URG! Of all the things! " Vegeta snorted, still embarassed, " Of ALL THE PEOPLE to walk in me while I'm doing my
business! I would have rather been seen doing that by--hmmm... " he paused mid-sentence as his eyes fixated upon the gravity
machine in the center of the room, " Let's see how you react when under, say, 10X normal gravity, Onna. " he pressed the
buttons.
" Gravity function increased 10%. " the computer repeated as everything in the room became pressed upon by the high
gravity. Vegeta, however, didn't feel a thing. He smiled and looked around the room.
" Time to check on the others and see how they're doing, I'm sure Mirai and Bura have already easily adjusted to
the gravity change, being related to me DOES have its advantages you know. "
" OH MY GOD!! I CAN'T MOVE!!! " Mirai screamed as he tried his best to stand up, " This is worse than that time and
space room Toussan and I were in!!! "
" My legs hurt Mirai! " Bura cried, also standing up, " What happened!!! "
Chi-Chi, being human, had fallen on her back and was now glaring furiously up at the ceiling, " As soon as I get up,
I will find him, and I will hurt him--VERY BADLY!!! "
" Why hello Onna. " Vegeta said sweetly, " How do you like the change in gravity? "
" Bite me, ouji-boy. " Chi-Chi said bluntly.
" TOUSSAN! WHY DID YOU DO THAT!! WE CAN'T MOVE! " Mirai yelled.
" Don't be a baby, Mirai. It's only 10X normal Earth gravity. This is the way the gravity on Bejito-sei was. I'm sure
if the planet still existed that Kakarrotto-chan and I would easily adjust to the surroundings. Like so. " Vegeta did a
backflip in mid-air and landed back on the ground with no trouble at all. Bura and Mirai gawked at his adaptability, " The
only reason you two aren't able to do that is because you have never trained under heavy gravity before. Saiyajins are very
good at adapting to different gravitational fields, unlike EARTHLINGS. " he smirked at Chi-Chi, who had now started the hard
and painful process of trying to sit up.
Mirai smiled, " OH! I get it! Since we still have a while to go before we face these Circus guys you want to train
Bura and I in different gravity just incase the place we rescue Son-San from has similar surrounds! "
" ... " Vegeta stared at him blankly, " Uh, no. Actually this is just me punishing Onna for interupting my
tinkle-time. "
Mirai and Bura fell to the floor animé style.
" OOOH! I'LL TINKLE YOUR TIME YOU LITTLE MONSTER! " Chi-Chi said, now on her feet, but breathing heavily.
" Amazing, you've managed to get up. " Vegeta said cheerfully, then lightly pushed her with one hand, causing Chi-Chi
to quickly thump back onto the floor, " Try it again. " he cackled maniacally.
" ERRRRR.....RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! " Chi-Chi powered up, causing a red aurora to
surround her the way the blue one did when Vegeta powered up. She easily lept to her feet, " WAIT'LL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!!"
she screamed. Vegeta zipped off down the hall, Chi-Chi racing after him.
Mirai groaned, " This is gonna be a looooooooong trip. "
Bura sweatdropped, " Tell me about it. "
" YA! YA! " the ringmaster smiled to hear his new lion-tamer now room that led to the ring. His whip snapping. The
ringmaster pleasantly peeked into the ring, only to have his jaw drop to the floor at what he saw.
" ...she asked her mother, mother, mother, for 50 cents, cents, cents, to see the elephants, elephants, elephants,
jump over the fence, fence, fence... " Goku sang as two of the lions swung his whip like a jumprope while he and another lion
jumped over it.
" ...WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!!! " the ringmaster shrieked. Goku continued to jump rope with the lion,
then looked up and noticed the ringmaster.
" Oh! Hi Mr. Ringmaster! Guess what I've taught the lions to do? Go on, guess? " he said eagerly.
The ringmaster slapped himself on the face, then sluggishly walked over to where Goku and the lions were, " Son Goku,
do you know WHY I gave you that whip? "
" ...noooooo. " Goku replied.
" Do you know WHAT that whip is SUPPOSED to be used for? "
" ...JUMP-ROPE! " he grinned.
" --Oh God help me. " the ringmaster shook his head, then quickly yanked the whip out of the lions's hands, " IT IS
FOR TAMING THE LIONS SON GOKU!! _NOT_ FOR _PLAYING "jump-rope" WITH THEM!! "
" Well, you have to admit, Leo here IS pretty good. " Goku said proudly, pointing to his fellow jump-roper. The lion
waved happily.
" Ugh! "
" I taught him that too. " Goku pointed to the waving lion, " Veggie, however, could use some work. "
" "Veggie"? " the ringmaster cocked an eyebrow.
" Yeah, the little one. I named him after my own little Veggie back home. I do miss him....very much. *sniffle*. But
that's oh-kay cuz I can still play mental imagination stuff with him. Through our heads. We played at the beach this
morning. " he said, fondly reminicing, " Boy does he know how to spike a volleyball... "
" Urm, yes, well, LISTEN. Oh-kay? " the ringmaster said, brushing Goku away, " This whip is to be used like this. "
he cracked the whip once, then snapped it at one of the lions, " SIT! SIT BOY! "
The lion whinced and did so. Goku frowned.
" Aww that's no way to do that. That's mean! " he quickly took the whip away, then walked over to the lion, " Now
Mr. Peabody, stand up for Daddy. "
The lion stood up, smiling at Goku, " Alright, now roll over....good! Clap your hands....play dead...GREAT JOB MR.
PEABODY!! " he clapped for the lion, then pulled out a big slice of raw meat, " Here's your kitty-treat! " he tossed it into
the lion's mouth. Mr. Peabody ate it in one gulp, " See, isn't that a MUCH better and MUCH nicer way to train 'um. "
The ringmaster looked on in shock, " My ferocious, untameable beasts, turned into KITTENS! "
" Yeah, I have that effect on a lot of people " Goku giggled, " Especially Veggie! "
" The lion? "
" No, the little buddy. " Goku corrected him, then patted Mr. Peabody on the head, " Oh my little Veggie was such a
meanie back in the day...but now he's so SWEET!! " he gave the lion a hug, " You guys stay here and I'll get you some of that
pet ice-cream I found in the fridge. " the saiyajin left the room.
" F-sama, are you oh-kay? " the ticket salesman said, rushing into the room.
The ringmaster muttered to him, agast, " I think I'm going to faint... "
" NOW you tell me the Onna used to be part of the "Z-senshi". " Vegeta rolled his eyes as he hid in the closet with
Mirai and Bura. Chi-Chi was still on the war-path and had declared several minutes ago to destory anyone in her path until
the gravity was returned to normal...well, normal for her anyway.
" Yeah, she was for about 5 years I heard. " Mirai said, " Until she got pregnant with Gohan of course. That's what
Kaasan told me. "
" And THAT'S why she's able to throw ki attacks. " Vegeta said sarcastically as he glanced down at his burned and now
very sore rump.
" Hey, she taught Goten didn't she. Where did YOU think she picked up all that martial arts stuff! " Mirai glanced
over at the ouji.
" I dunno, I thought she just picked it up from Kakarrot. " Vegeta looked down at the ground, " Well men, "
" A-HEM. " Bura made an attention getting cough.
" Men and little girls, " Vegeta corrected himself.
" Thank you. " Bura did a small curtsy.
" We have to find a way to sneak out of here before the Onna blasts the rest of our hides. The fact that she slowly
seems to be adapting to the gravity is not a good thing. "
" My father the genius. " Mirai rolled his eyes.
" Also the fact that she seems to share my similar fighting style of surprise and sneak attacks does not bode well
for our side. Therefore we must attack her directly...that is, if we run into her...which I am hoping we do not....is that
clear? "
" As clear as it could be Toussan. " Mirai nodded.
" Now, I sense she is in the far side of the ship. I believe we should make our move now. " Vegeta smirked, then
slowly opened the door only to have a large mallet collide with the top of his head, knocking him to the floor.
" AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! FEEL THE WRATH OF THE SCORNED HOUSEWIFE, DOER OF EVIL!! " Chi-Chi laughed an
almost Vegeta-like laugh, then noticed Mirai and Bura and glared at them, " YOU! " she pointed towards Mirai, who gulped.
" Yuh-yuh-yes? " Mirai gulped at Chi-Chi's now militant-style of clothes. She was wearing a white bandana around her
forehead and had her bazooka along with ammunition strapped to her back.
" SHOW ME TO THE GRAVITY MACHINE SO YOU CAN TURN IT OFF--FOR GOOD! "
" Yes Ma'am! " Mirai nodded obediently, then whispered downward, " Bura you take care of Toussan, I'll be right back.
Understand? "
" Hai! " Bura hid behind a box in the closet as she watched them leave, then, when the coast was clear, zipped over
to Vegeta, " Toussan! Oh Toussan wake up! "
" Uh, ohhhhh... " Vegeta groaned in pain. He opened his eyes to see a blurry blue blob infront of him. His vision
focused, " Buh--Bura? "
" TOUSSAN! " she squealed, hugging him, " YOU'RE OH-KAY! "
Vegeta sat up, " Wha, wha happened? "
" Oh Toussan-chan it was terrible! Mrs. Goten's Mommy hit you over the head with a mallet! " Bura cried, squeezing
him tight.
" ...you're kidding! And THAT alone knocked me unconsious!? "
" It's the gravity. It probably felt like a 2 ton bolder the way she was swinging it! " Bura explained.
" Ohhhhh, where's Mirai? "
" She took him hostage! She wants Mirai to shut the gravity machine off. "
Vegeta tried to stand up, Bura helped him, " Well, in that case you better take me to my room. We'll be safe in there
. "
" But, what about Mirai? "
" Hmm? Oh he can handle himself. " Vegeta shrugged, then smirked, " Besides, I have something to show you. "
" Really? " Bura's eyes widened.
" You know my little black book I write stuff in? "
" YEAH? " Bura grinned excitedly.
" How'd you like to take a peek, you know, just a little peek. " he said sneakily.
" WOW! YOU MEAN IT!! " Bura said with big sparkily eyes. She stopped, " Hey, you NEVER let me look at that book, did
Mrs. Goten's Mommy hit you over the head too hard? "
" No, let's just say she's given me another "evil plot" that "happens" to do with my little black book. " Vegeta
snickered evilly, " Now follow me, my room's down the hall. "
Bura cheered, " YIPPEE! "
" Ohhhhhh... " Bura sat on the floor of Vegeta's "room", reading the little black book in awe, " This is the most
beautiful collection of love poems and songs I have EVER seen! " she hugged the book, " Toussan you're SO romantic! " Bura
squealed.
" They're NOT "love" poems and I'm NOT "romantic". " Vegeta snorted in disgust, " Now B-chan, let me ask you
something. "
" ANYTHING Toussan! " she smiled, flipping through the pages.
" How good are you at forgery? "
" ...what? "
" Forgery; the art of writing something in another person's handwriting style! " Vegeta explained, slightly annoyed.
" Oh, Panny's really good at that. She taught me how to do it a couple weeks ago when I was over at her house playing
on the kiddie tennis courts with her. "
" I don't care how well Gohan's daughter can forge things...how good are you at it? "
" Mmm, pretty good I guess. "
" Do you know what Kakarrotto's handwriting looks like, B-chan? " Vegeta asked, smirking.
Bura stared at him for a moment until the idea it her and a similar smirk appeared on her face, " O-Toussan! You are
so CLE-VER! " she giggled.
" So you know what it looks like? "
" Oh yeah! Mr. Goten's Daddy has this cute big-lettered sloppy kind of handwriting. " Bura nodded.
" If I dictated something to you do you think you could write it in the next blank page of my little black book in
Kakarrotto's handwriting? " Vegeta asked.
" Yup! " Bura chirped.
" Alright then, start it off like this... "
" ...the unsurpassable strength at which my soul yearns for you can never truely be satisfied for it's hunger grows
ever so for each second that passes when I am no longer in your sweet sweet presence. "
" Hnn... " Bura bit her lip as she paused from writing down Vegeta's dictation.
" What? What is it? "
" I don't know Toussan, I've written a couple pages of this stuff but... "
" BUT? " he cocked an eyebrow at her.
" It, well it just doesn't sound like something Mr. Goten's Daddy would say. He's got a completely different accent
than you do. " she said, " Besides I don't think he even knows what "yearn" means. "
" ....yeah you're right. I did go a little overboard didn't I? " Vegeta grumbled as he layed on the bed.
" You might say that. " Bura sweatdropped.
" Alright, alright. Let's try something that sounds a little more "Kako-ish". " Vegeta folded his arms while Bura
flipped to a fresh page, " I'm never going to give that Onna a good scare if Kakarrot's "handwriting" doesn't sound like it
was written by Kakarrot. "
" Good point. " Bura said.
" Oh-kay, how about this: "Oh little Veggie, Chi-chan is such a meanie. She yells at me all the time and it makes me
want to cry and wish I lived with you instead. You wouldn't mind if I wanted to live with you instead of that WITCH-- "
" *A-hem*! Toussan, you're turning back into your own lingo. " Bura grumbled.
" Huh? Oh, sorry. "if I lived with you I wouldn't have to be yelled at anymore and we can stay in your room and play
games together and eat fish and tell each other scare stories and have sleepovers every night...I love you my favorite lil
buddy Veggie-chan-chan please say you'll let me be your roomate and I promise I'll do my best to make you happy. Love, your
big buddy 'Kaka-chan'." " he finished just as Bura finished writing.
" PERFECT! " Bura clasped her hands together, " You sound JUST LIKE Mr. Goten's Daddy! "
" Yeah, well, you hang around Kakarrotto enough you'll start talking like him too if you're not careful. " Vegeta
boasted, " Now, how about we show this little gem to Onna and see her reaction, ne? "
" Mmm-hmm! " Bura grinned, hugging the little black book. The gravity had been returned to normal for the past 10
minutes and the halls were now quiet again, " Oh Mrs. Goten's Mommy, where are you? We have something BEAUTIFUL to show you
that I KNOW you'll enjoy reading. "
" Really? " Bura paused and turend around to see Chi-Chi looking down at her, also now back to normal. Mirai was
hanging upside-down by his feet, bound and gagged behind her from the ceiling. He looked as if he had been smacked across the
face a couple times.
" Yes, really. " Bura giggled, " It's something Mr. Goten's Daddy wrote to Toussan just the other day. "
Chi-Chi looked up and did a double-take. Vegeta had teleported behind Bura and was grinning an evil grin at her. She
narrowed her eyes at the ouji.
" Give me that! " she swiped the book from Bura and flipped through the pages of Vegeta's handwriting until she got
to several pages in the very back, followed by a blank page, and then a couple more pages, all in what looked like Goku's
handwriting, " Why it is my Go-chan's. I'd recognize those poorly-dotted "i"s anywhere. " she blinked, then read the first
line of Bura and Vegeta's first more ouji-like draft of Goku's letter and fainted.
" MMph-MMPH! " Mirai gawked through his gag.
" ONNA!? " Vegeta shouted, picking up the book.
" Wow, that was fast. " Bura said, impressed.
" Ohhhh, " Vegeta grumbled as he read the following lines, " She didn't last long enough to even get to the juicy
part! " he said, then smirked, " I'm better at this than I thought. "

END OF PART 2
Chuquita: And so ends part two!
Goku: (staring at Veggie while thinking) Hmm...
Vegeta: (realizes he's being stared at) What?
Goku: Chu-sama, I wonder what would happen if I hugged little Veggie while we were both wearing our snazzy bubble-suits.
Vegeta: (freezes in place) NO.
Chuquita: (ignoring Veggie) Go on Son-kun, give him a squeeze and find out.
Goku: YAY! [grabs Veggie & hugs him] Oh little Veggie!
*POP*POP*POP*POP*POP*POP*
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) [now with the majority of his bubbles popped] Uhhhhhhh...
Goku: (giggles; also having popped large amount of his own gi) Heeheehee!
Vegeta: (still glowing) (spacing out) Uhhhhhhhhhhh...
Goku: (pauses) Veggie?
Vegeta: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....
Goku: (wails) CHU-SAMA I BROKE VEGGIE!!
Vegeta: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
Chuquita: (slaps herself on the forehead) Just let go of him, I'm sure he'll get back to normal like he always does.
Vegeta: (snaps out of it) (glares at her) Are you saying I'm ABnormal? UNusual? A FREAK of nature? A natural freak?
Chuquita: (groans) Oh boy, here we go. (to Veggie) No Veggie, all I was saying is that you NORMALLY space out after being
hugged to long.
Vegeta: (insinuating) Or while wearing something someone SHOULD NOT BE WEARING WHILE HUGGING yours truely.
Goku: Silly Veggie! (grin)
Vegeta: Alright, let go.
Goku: Huh?
Vegeta: I said let go of me.
Goku: [drops his arms to his side] I did.
[both look down]
Son & Veggie: AHH! WE'RE STUCK!!!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Well I guess we know what happens when you push two pieces of bubblewrap together now, don't we?
Vegeta: (beginning to panic) AHHH! THIS IS NOT GOOD!
Goku: I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!
Vegeta: Uhh--uhh, I KNOW! PULL!
Goku: Huh?
Vegeta: YES! (to Son) Kakarrotto on the count of 3 I want you to pull back as hard as you can in your direction. I will do
the same in the opposite direction.
Chuquita: Veggie? That's not gonna wor--
Vegeta: (to Chu) SILENCE, GIRL! (to Son) NOW PULL!
[both saiyajins pull back, the bubblewrap stretches along with them until they are at opposite sides of the room]
Vegeta: Almost....got it...
Goku: Urrg....
Chuquita: (pulls out a bucket of popcorn & starts munching)
Vegeta: (slips on his bubblewrap boot and both head speeding towards each other until they collide and fall to the floor)
(groans in pain) OhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHhhhhh...
Goku: EHhhhHHHehhehhHHHhoOOOHHHHHh MY TUMMY HURTS!!!
Vegeta: Obviously this is not working.
Chuquita: (no comment)
Vegeta: We need to get out of this mess, but HOW?
Chuquita: Simple, somebody unzip their bubble-clothes and leave.
Vegeta: We CAN'T, we're stuck TOGETHER!
Goku: (starts on his hunt for his gi's back zipper)
Vegeta: WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!
Goku: I'm going to unzip myself, I HAVE to go to the BATHROOM!
Vegeta: (gawks) YOU'RE NOT UNZIPPING THAT IN FRONT OF _ALL THESE PEOPLE_!!!
[lights flash upon the audiance of millions, all staring down at the two saiyajins]
Goku: (unphased) So?
Vegeta: SO! (growls) DON'T YOU PEASANTS HAVE ANY PRIDE! YOU CAN'T MARCH OUT OF HERE WITHOUT CLOTHES!!!
Goku: If I stay here without being able to reach the bathroom you're gonna get wet.
Vegeta: ...I'll close my eyes. [covers his eyes with his hands]
Goku: Thank you. [unzips himself and jogs off to the bathroom] [closes the bathroom door; various screams are heard] [Son
zips out of the room] Heh-heh, (blushing) wrong bathroom, (pokes into room) Sorry ladies! Heh-heh, [walks into the Men's
room next door]
Vegeta: Can I open my eyes now?
Chuquita: Yeah, I think so.
Vegeta: Good. [flushing sound is heard] (yelps and covers his eyes again)
Goku: [comes jogging back into the Corner studio au natural, gets back into his bubble-gi and zips up] I'M DONE! (big grin)
(audiance cheers him; some whistles can be heard towards him)
Vegeta: (opens his eyes to see Son grinning at him) (angry) NOW WHAT DID _THAT_ ACCOMPLISH! WE'RE STILL STUCK!!!!
Goku: Actually I accomplished a lot. (happily) Did you know they have a special machine that dries your hands now without you
having to use a paper towel It's AMAZING!
Vegeta: (stares at him flatly) You moron.
Goku: (blinks; confused)
Chuquita: Well, actualy he proved that you aren't stuck together, just your clothes are.
Vegeta: (sarcasm) Oh great! Whoopee! That REALLY helps us NOW.
Chuquita: It's oh-kay, I have extra bubblewrap stuff/clothes for you guys backstage, you can choose colors this time.
Goku: (cheers) WHEEE! [runs offstage eagerly; Veggie floating in the breeze behind him screaming]
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) See you in Part 3 of "Under the Big Top" everyone! (waves) Bye
Goku: (giggles) Bubbles are fun!
Vegeta: (moans) Somebody HELP me!
