Quote of the Week: "But Dad, I'm a growing boy, I need fish!" -Brak
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Hello and welcome to Part 3 of "Under the Big Top". Brought to you by BUBBLEWRAP!
Goku: (sitting next to her wearing a grey and black bubblewrap tuxedo) (spy-voice) That's right Chu!
Chuquita: (cocks an eyebrow at him) And who are you supposed to be.
Goku: I'm Wrap, Bubble Wrap. Agent 3 and 3 quarters.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops)
Goku: (big doofy grin) Wanna sniff my bubble-rose? [points to the pink bubble-wrap flower in the pocket of his bubble-tux]
It smells bubbly!
Chuquita: No thanks I'm allergic....say where's Veggie?
Goku: (giggles) (clasps his hands together) OH you should see him he looks so CUTE!
Chuquita: Really?
Goku: (whistles to offstage) OH VEH-GEE!
Vegeta: [walks onto the set wearing a pink bubble teddy bear suit] (glaring at Son & Chu)
Chuquita: ...
Goku: ...
Chuquita: HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA--OOHF! [falls out of her chair and onto the floor] HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
[gets up] (while laughing loudly) WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU! [points at Veggie]
Vegeta: (grumbles) It's none of your business. [sits down in his chair]
Chuquita: (snickers) Hey Vedge, seriously, how'd you get into THAT outfit?
Vegeta: (looks away) (mumbling; embarassed) Kakarrotto-chan thought I'd look cute.
Goku: (grinning wider) VEGGIE LEMMIE HUG YOU!!!!
Vegeta: (freezes) (flatly) Not on your life. I am NOT getting stuck to you again.
Goku: (bites his lip) But, but, but, the sensation in my hands is so great....I MUST HUG SOMETHING!!!
Vegeta: Well it's not gonna be me. [folds his arms]
Goku: But you look so adorable in your lil Veggie-sized teddy bear outfit--PLEASE LET ME HOLD YOU!
Vegeta: (glows bright red) Well, I...
Goku: [jumps at him to glomp on] GIMMIE VEGGIE-HUGS!
Vegeta: AHH! [dodges] (runs off stage only to creep back on seconds later in his normal non-bubblewrap underwear) *whew*
Last time _I_ wear something Kakarrotto thinks is "cute". [sits down in his seat and blows a raspberry at Son] HA!
Goku: (whimpers)
Chuquita: That outfit isn't very bubblewrapily, Vedge.
Vegeta: Shutup. (smirks) At least in my underwear I am safe from Kakarrotto's bubblewrapping spree in my undergarments.
Goku: He's right, I don't feel the overwhelming desire to squeeze him for long intervals at a time anymore.
Vegeta: HAHAHAHAHA! See that Chu? _I_ can win a battle against Kakarrot TOO every once an in a while.
Goku: (depressed sigh)
Chuquita: Aww, Vedge ya made Son-San sad.
Vegeta: (grins) Well at least I am no longer wearing any bubble-clothes. If there's one thing you can always rely on, it's
your own underwear.
Goku: (giggles)
Vegeta: What?
Goku: (still giggling) [hold up a pair of bubblewrap-underwear] Heeheehee!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Where did you get THAT?
Goku: The bubblewrap lady made some. They're in the blue bin.
Chuquita: Oh....bubble-underwear...who knew? (shrugs)
Goku: Hey Veggie? (holds the bubble-underwear infront of him)
Vegeta: ... (blinks) (glares) Not in this lifetime.
Goku: (frowns) Come on! It's BUBBLEWRAP DAY! You can't just sit there in REGULAR underpants on BUBBLEWRAP DAY now can you?
Vegeta: Kakarrotto, you're CRAZY if you think I'm going to sit here wearing a pair of briefs made out of "bubblewrap"!
10 seconds later...
Vegeta: (dryly) I'm sitting here wearing a pair of briefs made out of bubblewrap.
Goku: (grins) They're very aerodynamically ventilating.
Vegeta: (confused) What?
Goku: And they're cute too!
Chuquita: Isn't that going to feel a little uncomfortable after a while? I mean, after all, it is pretty warm outside.
Goku: Silly Chu! All you have to do is pop a bubble and INSTANT breezes of cool air float through your pants!
Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) Let me guess, you're wearing a pair too?
Goku: Underneath my (secret agent voice) SPY COSTUME?
Vegeta: No, on your head.
Goku: ???
Vegeta: OF COURSE UNDER YOUR SPY COSTUME YOU BIG BAKAYARO!!
Goku: Hmm? OH! Yeah, only I happen to be sporting boxers. (big commercial like grin)
Vegeta: (groans) Oh brother...just start the story!
Chuquita: Alright then! Onto Part 3!
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
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Onna. Onna? Wake up, Onna. "
" Ugh... " Chi-Chi slowly opened her eyes to see two blurry blobs infront of her. She focused on the larger of the
two, sat up, and grabbed him by the throat, " YOU! "
" ME. " Vegeta smirked.
" YOU WAIT'LL I'M DONE WITH YOU I'LL RIP YOUR INSIDES OUT YOU EVIL EVIL LITTLE OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi screamed, shaking
him angrily back and forth. She paused suddenly, " Wait....what did you do again? "
" HAHAHA! " Vegeta laughed at her. Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes and dropped the prince to the floor, " I did NOTHING to
you, Onna. You merely fainted while reading Kaka-chan's passionate little plea of a letter to yours truely. "
" What? "
" Here! " Bura chirped, holding out the ouji's little black book which was turned to the page where Goku's
handwriting could be seen.
Chi-Chi swiped the book out of Bura's hand and read the first several pages in disgust, " Impossible! "
" What? "
" It's impossible my Go-chan could have written this ouji-lovin garbage! Look at this! This looks more like something
that would come out of YOUR mouth than Goku's! " she snorted.
" Kakay was SO NERVOUS when he gave that beautifully written letter to me. He was afraid that you were going to beat
him for being nice to me again. " Vegeta mocked.
" Afraid I was going to BEAT HIM! I'VE NEVER ABUSED HIM IN ALL MY LIFE!!! " Chi-Chi gawked, sickened.
" Poor lil Kakay, *sniffle* he said every time he even mentioned my name you would smack him over the head with your
mallet, tie him up and lock him in the basement overnight. " Vegeta continued on overdramatically, " And he'd sit there on
the cold basement floor sobbing and crying for his "little Veggie" to come and take him away from all this so he could be
safe and happy under his little buddy's care forever. "
" You big fat liar! We don't even HAVE a basement! " Chi-Chi exclaimed.
" ...oh. " Vegeta scratched his head.
" Mrs. Goten's Mommy don't you even wanna read the lovely poem "Kakay" wrote for Toussan? " Bura said eagerly.
" No. " Chi-Chi said bluntly, " He didn't write ANY of this! I've seen Goku's writing many times before and although
it looks like it, his vocabulary is FAR from what is in that letter. Besides, he couldn't spell "enraptured" if his life
depended on it. " she walked out of the room, the little black book in hand.
" Ohhhh... " Bura pouted, then yelled after her, " I BET HE COULD SPELL IT IF HE TRIED HARD ENOUGH!! "
Vegeta looked around the room, then yelped, realizing Chi-Chi still had his book, he dashed out of the room and past
Mirai, who was still hanging upside-down from the hallway ceiling, bound and gagged and looking very aggrivated.
" ONNA! ONNA! " he shouted. Chi-Chi paused.
" What is it NOW, ouji-boy? " she said, annoyed.
" Uhh, Onna, I, uhh, I really need to have that book back right now. " Vegeta grinned cheesily.
" Really? " Chi-Chi smirked, " Why, is there something in here that's "inappropriate" for these GORGOUS eyes to gaze
upon? " she flipped through several pages.
" GIVE ME THAT!! " Vegeta grabbed at the book only to have Chi-Chi pull it away and hold it high above her head,
" THERE ARE PRIVATE DOCUMENTS WRITTEN IN THERE THAT ARE SO PRIVATE THAT ONLY THEIR CREATOR, the great and powerful saiyajin
no ouji, IS THE ONLY ONE TO SEE THEM!!! " he yelled.
" Does this little book contain something embarassing? Troubling? Some secret that is so closely guarded by your
"saiyajin pride" that if someone who dislikes you, say, ME, were to find out it would crumble your entire world into pieces
and force you to move away off the Earth and never be seen from by me or my Go-chan EVER AGAIN? "
" ... " Vegeta felt himself quiver. He hung his head down, " Yes. " he moaned.
" YAY! " Chi-Chi lept in the air and did a little cheer, then ran off to the control room, " SEE YA LATER OUJI! I'M
OFF TO DO SOME LIGHT READING! HAHA! "
Vegeta bolted to attention, then shrieked, " NO YOU DON'T! COME BACK DON'T READ THAT THAT'S VERY PERSONAL I WON'T LET
YOU!!! " he went SSJ2 and flew down the hall...and into the control room's steel door.
Chi-Chi watched with glee as the imprint of the ouji's head followed by the sound of something slowly sliding down
the door in pain reached the ground. She laughed at him, then sat in the Captain's chair and started to read.
" Haha haha haha! Hahahahahaha! Haha haha haha! Hahahahahaha! " Bura sang to the beat of the Mexican hat dance music
from the boombox behind her as she continued to whack the enraged Mirai with a stick as if he were a piñata.
" EERRRRRRRRRRrrrRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR---oof! " Mirai began to go SSJ, then stopped as Bura's
last whack at him with the stick sent the rope he was tied to along with himself crashing to the floor. Mirai woozily got up
and ripped his gag off with his teeth, then glared down at Bura.
" Heh-heh. Heh-heh-heh. " Bura laughed nervously, then yelped as Mirai kicked her into the wall and ran off after
Vegeta and Chi-Chi. Bura shouted at him, " YOU WAIT TILL TOUSSAN SEES WHAT YOU JUST DID TO ME! YOU'LL BE SORRY!!! " she said,
still stuck in the wall.
" OTOUSSAN! OTOUSSAN! " Mirai screeched to a halt infront of Vegeta, who was now on the floor, ssj2, with his face
on the ground. Mirai tapped him on the head with his foot, " Hey Toussan? Are you alright? "
" Kah-keeee? " Vegeta said, dazed. He got up and shook it off, " OhhhHHHH! MY HEAD!! " he grabbed both sides of his
head in pain, " STUPID ONNA! " he slammed his fist into the door, then noticed Mirai was tapping his foot impatiently. The
ouji glared at him, " Whadda you want? "
" *A-HEM* " Mirai signalled to the ropes tied around his arms and chest.
" Yeah, rope. What about it? " Vegeta said casually.
" ARRRG! " Mirai screamed, then froze, " Toussan, if we're all out here, who's flying the SHIP!!! " he panicked.
" Huh? Oh, Onna's in there. " he shrugged.
" CHI-CHI DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FLY THE SPACESHIP!!! " Mirai shrieked.
" I know that, moron. She's in there READING THINGS THAT ARE PRIVATE PROPERTY OF THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO
OUJI!!! " he roared, then switched to pouting, " Oh this is terrible! " he fell to his knees, " All my private, most
secretive thoughts EXPOSED for the taking like free popcorn! " Vegeta said nervously, " A--and if Onna finds out, she'll most
likely tell Kakay and if Kakay finds out---I'M FINISHED!!! " he wailed, " If Kakay knows I've been spying on him and taking
his stuff and doing all sorts of obsessive things behind his back he'll be so afraid of me he'll never want to see me again!
And what's worse; the Onna would have WON!!! "
Mirai kicked the door a few times with his knee. Chi-Chi poked her head out, then opened the door, smiling. Mirai
followed her inside, still tied up. Vegeta watched the scene unfold, then grinned and got to his feet.
" A-HA! "
" *SLAM!* " a small cloud of doom hung over Vegeta's head as he stared at the once again closed door.
Mirai sat down in the captain's chair and Chi-Chi sat in the one next to it, still engrossed in her reading.
" Ahh, looks like smooth sailing from hear on in. " Mirai smiled at the clear space before them, then sweatdropped
as dozens of meteors appeared out of nowhere. He looked around, realizing his arms were still tied and grabbed the wheel with
his mouth, turning left violently and sending everything in the spaceship careening towards the walls, including Vegeta and
Bura. Mirai wiped the sweat from his brow with his pantleg, then sat back and sighed, " Boy that was a close one, huh Chi? "
" ... "
" Chi-Chi? "
" Wha-huh? " she looked up from her book.
" Do you think you could pause from reading whatever facinating nugget of joy Toussan's book has to offer and come
help untie me? " Mirai asked, " If it's not too much trouble. I DID just save your lives but hey, don't be in a hurry just
for little 'ol me. " he gritted through his teeth.
Chi-Chi grabbed a tiny string sticking out of one of the pieces of rope and pulled it. The entire roll of rope around
Mirai instantly fell to his knees. Mirai sweatdropped.
" Amazing, isn't it. "
" Uh-huh.. " Chi-Chi trailed off.
" So, would you mind if I take a peek at that book of yours? " Mirai said, looking over her shoulder.
" Hmm? Yeah, sure, no harm in it anyway, seeing as it's in--- "
" ---NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Mirai and Chi-Chi froze and looked up to see Vegeta standing before
them, panting heavily while nervous sweat dripped down his face.
" Did he just run straight through that door? " Chi-Chi pointed to the big hole behind the small ouji.
" Yeah...I think he did. " Mirai mumbled.
" Muh-muh-my, muh-muh-my, muh-muh-MY BOOK!!! " he shouted, pointing at it.
" Yes, you're book. " Chi-Chi nodded, then walked over to him, " Well ouji, I can safely say whatever personal
secrets you have locked up in that brain and in this book are going to stay there for a while. "
" Eh? " Vegeta blinked, confused.
Chi-Chi smacked him over the head with the book, " IT'S ALL WRITTEN IN YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE, YOU NIMROD! " she handed
it back over to him. She looked at him, disturbed, " Althrough I did find some peculiar drawings in there. You're a pretty
good artist, ouji-boy, but you need to have your head checked. There's no way Go-chan OR I would let those little doodles of
yours become a reality. " she smiled, then glared at him, " ALRIGHT? "
Vegeta smirked at her, " Oh they'll become "reality", Onna. The second you cease to exist every little plot and plan
in this book will become reality. MY reality. KAKAY'S reality. OUR reality. "
Chi-Chi slugged him in the jaw, knocking Vegeta to the floor, " NOT IN THIS LIFETIME!! " she said angrily.
Vegeta weakly held up his pointer finger, " You mean...not...in YOUR...lifetime. "
" AAARG!!! " Chi-Chi leapt onto Vegeta and started beating him across the face senseless. Mirai slammed his head down
on the control panel.
" Honestly. They act like children. " he turned his head towards them, " You KNOW, Toussan, if you'd stop retorting
to EVERYTHING Chi-Chi says MAYBE this wouldn't have happened. "
" Ironically, that's what got Toussan killed both times. It's not his fault he's so cocky. " a small voice came from
behind the chair. Mirai looked over his shoulder to see Bura, who snarled at him and then pressed the little red button on
Mirai's chair, sending him catapaulting into the ceiling. She laughed at him, then hopped up on the control panel, " Serves
you right for trying to hurt the saiyajin no oujo! " she stuck her tongue out at Mirai.
" I....hate you... " Mirai groaned, smushed between the chair and the ceiling.
" Hmm, we should be there by now. " Bura pouted as she stared out of the large windshield, then gasped with joy,
" THERE! THERE IT IS! "
Everyone else instantly stopped what they were doing.
" Where! " Chi-Chi demanded as she and Vegeta zipped over to where Bura was standing. Mirai reached his hand out and
pulled and pushed the crank that slowly lowered him and the chair back down.
Bura turned the wheel slightly to the right to reveal two small moons near each other. The large circus tents she had
been in last time were once again up and running. A big digital screen levitated above the middle of the tents.
" Ohhhh... " Chi-Chi and Bura watched in awe.
" Moo-mooo-moo-mooooon. " both girls paused, then turned to their left to see Vegeta standing there shaking in
convoltions, " Moo-moo-moo-mooooo-moon. "
" Toussan? " Bura said, slightly worried. Chi-Chi blinked, then suddenly screamed, having a flashback...
:::" AHHHH!!! WHAT'S THAT GIANT MONKEY CREATURE! " a younger Chi-Chi pointed to Baba's crystal ball, " AND WHERE'D
THAT SMALLER SAIYAJIN GO!! "
" His..tail... " Bulma gulped.
" Eh? "
" His tail! When saiyajins see the moon the light in it turns them into giant apes!!! " Bulma explained.
" Then, then that's? " Oolong stuttered.
Bulma nodded, " Vegeta. "
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! " Goku cried as the large ape continued to crush him within his hands.
Chi-Chi screamed into the crystal ball, " GO-CHAN!!! ":::
" Uhh...uhhhhHhhhh... " Chi-Chi gulped, then slowly inched away from Vegeta, imagining herself being crushed
by a big ape. Mirai slowly got out of his chair, then started to stretch his back only to scream out in pain and fall to
the floor, " Hey! Wait! What am I worried about, how silly. " Chi-Chi laughed at herself, " He doesn't even have his tail
any-- "
" *PSHOOO!!* " Vegeta's tail shot out of the back of his pants like a rocket.
" --more. " Chi-Chi said flatly
" Moo--mooomoo--Moo-moo-moo-moomoomoo-- "
" Yes, move. We're going to move THIS way, " Chi-Chi grabbed Vegeta and turned him around so his back was now facing
the windshield. She wiped the sweat off her face, " Nice timing, ouji. "
" MRS. GOTEN'S MOMMY! COME BACK! MR. GOTEN'S DADDY IS ON THE BIG SPACE SCREEN!!! " Bura squealed. Chi-Chi and Vegeta
froze and instantly rushed back to the control panel. The big digital display monitor hovering above the tents was showing
inside the tents. Goku was standing infront of the camera grinning while wearing his lion tamer's outfit.
" Oh look at him in his little safari hat, he looks so handsome! " Chi-Chi mused.
" And happy. " Vegeta frowned. Chi-Chi frowned.
" HEY! HE _DOES_ LOOK HAPPY! WHY IS HE HAPPY!! " she said furiously, " HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE MISSING US!! "
" HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE LOCKED UP SOMEWHERE CRYING LIKE A BABY AND WANTING TO BE RUNNING INTO MY WAITING ARMS--I'LL
KILL HIM!!! " Vegeta screamed; the hair on his newfound tail standing on end.
" For being "happy"? " Mirai said skeptically.
" NO! FOR BEING HAPPY WITHOUT _ME_ AROUND! I'M HIS _HAPPY-MAKER_ NOT SOME TWO-BIT CIRCUS TENT!!! " the ouji roared,
then grabbed a tissue and sobbed into it, " Oh Kakay, how could you desert me like this! If I had known your love could so
easily be swayed towards something else I NEVER would have let you leave with that evil ringmaster!!! "
" You LET him LEAVE!!! " Chi-Chi loomed over Vegeta, gritting her teeth.
" Yes, I let him leave. " the ouji said defensively, then smirked, " And now I get to be his hero and get all the
nice wonderful beautiful kaka-worship that's been comin to me for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME! "
" Not if I save him first! " Chi-Chi quickly retorted.
" Ha! As if you could save Kakarrotto-chan. Onna, with your chi power I could crush you within mere SECONDS. " Vegeta
narrowed his eyes.
" Then why don't you? "
" ... "
" ... "
" Because Kakay would hate me, that's why. " Vegeta stuck his tongue out at her, " And what good are you gone unless
Kaka-chan still cares about his "little buddy" anyway! "
" Would you like to find out? " Chi-Chi growled, rolling up her sleeve.
" STOP!!! " Mirai screamed, " I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!! "
" We're here! "
" Huh? " the trio said at once.
" Look, I've got a parking space and everything! " Bura said happily. The group was now neatly parked on the circus
grounds.
" Wow, Bura, I'm impressed. " Mirai smiled, " Where'd YOU learn how to park a car? "
" Video games. " Bura shrugged.
" ...alright, everybody out! " Mirai called, then sweatdropped. Chi-Chi and Vegeta were now clawing at the door.
" KAKAY-KAKAY-KAKAY-KAKAY!!! "
" GO-CHAN-GO-CHAN-GO-CHAN!!! "
" Pitiful. " Mirai shook his head, " Come on Bura we'll leave through the left exit. " he walked in the other
direction while Chi-Chi and the saiyajin prince continued trying to push past each other to be the first one out the door.
Bura giggled at them, then left, " Bye you two! Better hurry! Haha! "
" ... "
" ... "
" BURA! MIRAI! WAIT FOR US!! "
" B-CHAN COME BACK!!! "
" Veggie? Chi-chan? " Goku sniffed the air. He was standing backstage with the lions.
" Hey Mr. Son, ready to go on? " the ringmaster asked, " You're up after Bear-Boy and the bearded lady finish their
juggling routine. "
" Hmm? Yeah. It's just that...did you smell Veggie just now? "
" What? " the ringmaster said, confused.
" Veggie gives off this really nice strong scent, and I think I smelled it just know. Or at least got a whiff of it.
Chi-chan says he stinks but I think it's a pretty refreshing smell, don't you? It's kind of like a mix of coconut, bananas,
and some unidentifiable substance. "
" ...I have absolutely NO idea what you're talking about. " the ringmaster said flatly, then grinned and slapped the
large saiyajin across the back, " Now go out there and make this circus proud! "
" YES SIR! " Goku saluted him, then marched happily out into the rings, the lions following behind him in a line on
their hind legs and imitating his strut. The ringmaster sweatdropped, " Ya know Leo, " he said to one of the lions, " I think
the best part of Veggie's Veggie-scent's got to be the unidentifiable substance. I bet that's the part Chi-chan doesn't like
either....maybe it's a saiyajins only scent or something. "
" Rrrrrraaa. " Leo responded.
" Yeah, I am silly to wonder about that, but I could have sworn I got the biggest whiff of it just then. " he folded
his arms, " Oh well, ready? "
" RAAAAA! "
" Look! Here comes Kakay! " the ouji squealed as he and the rest of the gang peeked around one of the bleachers to
get a good look at the center ring.
" He looks so handsome in his explorer costume doesn't he? " Chi-Chi awwed, blushing.
" Yes...did you know that explorers on this planet usually explore in the name of their LEADER? " Vegeta smirked.
" Must you ruin every lovely thought that comes to my mind? " Chi-Chi glared at him, annoyed.
" That's my job. " Vegeta grinned at her, " Or, part of it. "
" URG! "
" Mr. Goten's Daddy looks so helpless with all those lions around him. Wha, what if they ATE him! " Bura gulped.
" Honestly Bura, they're not going to EAT Son. They're trained. " Mirai shook his head.
" SO! " she shouted, " What if when Mr. Goten's Daddy goes to put his head in one of the lion's mouths it decides to
bite down on and decapitate him!!! " she said nervously.
" ... " Vegeta's eyes widened, " AHH! KAKAY!! " he screamed, only to have Chi-Chi slap her hand over his mouth and
grab his tail with her other hand.
" Will you be quiet! We don't want him to know we're here! Not yet, anyway. " Chi-Chi whispered, then paused as Goku
looked up at the ceiling and once again sniffed the air. He smiled contently, then turned in the direction the smell had come
from and waved towards where the gang was hiding.
Vegeta grinned and waved back. Chi-Chi pulled the hand she had on the ouji's mouth away and grabbed his arm instead.
" Do you think he saw us? " Chi-Chi asked Mirai, who shrugged.
" He didn't see us, he SMELLED me. " Vegeta said proudly.
" Really, I didn't know you could stink THAT bad. " Chi-Chi retorted.
The ouji sweatdropped, " Actually, I happen to think my royal saiyajin odor happens to give off quite an attractive
scent. Not that anyone without a heightened sense of smell can understand it. YOU can't begin to fathom what my TRUE
unadulterated scent is like. Kakarrotto-chan, on the other hand... "
" *SMACK!* " Chi-Chi's hand had once again made it's way back over Vegeta's mouth.
" Keep your comments to yourself ouji-boy. " she said in a low deadly voice. Vegeta pushed her hand off his mouth and
backed up, snickering.
" By the way, do you happen to know what this scent of mine is for? " Vegeta smiled evilly.
" No, and I'd rather not hear it. " Chi-Chi snorted, then turned back to the show.
" I'm sure Kakarrotto-chan would tell you if you asked him, he being so fond of it and all-- "
" *POW!!!* "
" That's strange, if I didn't know any better I'd have thought I just heard someone getting a kick to their privates.
...a really HARD kick too. " Goku blinked, " Oh well! The show must go on! FIVE! " he pointed to the lions, who all turned
their heads up towards the ceiling and began to form balls of ki in their mouth, " FOUR! " the lions spat the ki into the
air, Goku instantly caught them and began to juggle the 6 or so large ki spheres, " THREE! " he mentally broke each ball in
half then started chucking them at the lions, who hopped onto their hind legs and also began to juggle, " TWO! " the juggling
lions started to form a human pyramid while still on their hind legs and juggling. Goku climbed the pyramid and stood on top,
" ONE! " the group sent their ki balls flying upward until they exploded like fireworks in the sky. The light trickled down
to read "The Interplanetary Circus". The audiance cheered wildly as Goku and his fellow performers hopped down out of their
pyramid and bowed before them.
" Thanks everybody! I'm in the next act so I gotta hurry! BYE! I LOVE YOU! " he grinned, then ran off. The lions
followed him out of the ring.
" Awww, Kaka-chan loves me! " Vegeta glowed bright red.
" Oh he does NOT! He was speaking in general! That is, to the ENTIRE audiance! Not you in particular, ouji. " Chi-Chi
corrected him, angry.
" Ahh, but if he meant the entire audiance, then that includes me too! " Vegeta grinned. Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" I hate it when he's right. "
" Unbelievable. He taught those lions how to juggle, form ki, and do acrobatics in that little time. " Mirai gawked,
impressed.
" Mr. Goten's Daddy is so magical! " Bura giggled, " That is why he and Toussan care for each other SO MUCH! "
" THEY DO NOT CARE FOR EACH OTHER!! NOW YOU SHUT UP!! " Chi-Chi snapped at her, " But yes I have to agree that was a
spectacular performance my little Go-chan put on. And it's the LAST TIME he's GOING to do it too because we're going to find
him and bring him home right now! "
" Are you? "
Chi-Chi spun around to come face-to-face, or rather face-to-big-red-top-hat, with the ringmaster.
" Yes, as a matter of fact I am! WE are. I am Go-chan's wife and over there is his "little buddy", and his "little
buddy"'s children Mirai and Bura. "
The ringmaster cocked his head towards Vegeta, " Is that so, Bobo? "
The ouji froze.
" These lovely children belong to you do they. " he smirked.
" You wanna make something of it? " the ringmaster looked down to see Bura growling up a him, her fists clenched,
" How DARE you try and rip apart Toussan and Mr. Goten's Daddy's relationship. They're bonded together by the potara fusion
not to mention how badly they care about one another and the fact that they're buddies and that they're the LAST TWO saiyajin
in existance! "
" They ARE the last two saiyajin in existance aren't they. " the ringmaster chuckled, " And do you know what happened
to the rest of the saiyajins? "
" ... "
" I DESTROYED THEM! " he threw his hat to the ground.
" FREEZER!!! " Vegeta gasped. Mirai gritted his teeth. Bura and Chi-Chi blinked, bewildered.
" Freezer? Who's Freezer? " Bura asked.
Vegeta gulped, then realized something and smirked, ::Freezer! This is perfect! I don't know how he escaped from the
H.F.I.L, but no matter. With how much stronger I am than him now--and my ability to reach SSJ2!; if I defeat Freezer I will
not only pay him back for the horrors he's cost me but when Kakarrotto finds out _I_ saved him from _Freezer_...:: " A-ho ho
ho! " Vegeta laughed greedily.
" What's so funny! " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at the ouji, who came back out of his daydream.
" Huh? " he blinked, then smirked, " Onna, that ugly being over there is Freezer. He is the one who destoryed
Bejito-sei along with nearly all the saiyajins, including the royal family. "
" Well, I suppose I should thank him then. " she smiled cruely. Vegeta glared, then continued.
" He is also the one who enslaved me and eventually killed me. " the ouji said darkly.
" ... "
" The first time. "
" OH! " Chi-Chi said, enlightened, then turned to Freezer and growled, " NO ONE IS GOING TO KILL THAT OUJI---not
until I'm done knocking his block off anyway! " she nodded, smiling. Freezer fell to the ground animé style.
" What a wonderfully LOYAL crew you've gotten yourself there, Bobo. " Freezer stepped towards the ouji, then turned
to Chi-Chi, " Did you know when my little Bobo was a child I had him perform circus tricks for me? He was quite entertaining
in his little clown costume juggling balls for me. "
Chi-Chi glanced over at Vegeta, who cringed at the memory. She looked at him, slightly worried, then shook it off.
" Yes, what a fun pet he made--until he got too big to fit into his costume anymore. A talented little juggler though
, just like your Go-chan will make one day. " he snickered evilly. Chi-Chi's eyes widened.
" WHY YOU!! " she shouted, " YOU-- "
" --DIE!!! " Vegeta screamed, going SSJ2. He flew at Freezer, who quickly dodged and pounded his fist against the
wall with a loud thump, causing a purple mist to decend from the ceiling.
" AHH! " Mirai yelled, " WHAT'S THAT! "
Vegeta quickly covered his nose and mouth just in time to see the others fall to the floor unconsious.
" Well, that was easy. " Freezer said, impressed.
" That's...cheating... " Vegeta snarled, his own vision beginning to get blurry. He felt himself going in and out of
consiousness.
" Yes, I'm afraid it is cheating isn't it, shame on me. " Freezer mocked as the ouji fell to his knees, drowsy, " But
don't worry, Bobo, you'll have plenty of time to see your *Kaka-chan* before you die. "
" You...... " Vegeta blacked out.
" Enjoy your trip to dreamland my little friend, but due be sure to wake up this time. I wouldn't want you to
disappoint your big buddy now, would I? "
" HmmhmmHMMhmmhmm! " Goku hummed to himself as he finished getting his tightrope walker costume on. He observed
himself in the mirror, " Heh-heh, lookin sharp!....it's a little tight though. " he pulled at the light blue body suit,
embarassed, " I don't think even Veggie's training uniform is THIS hip-hugging. " he grabbed the umbrella the ringmaster had
given him, " Alright Son-kun, you can do this! Hmm! " Goku nodded to himself in the mirror, then left his dressing room,
" Man this is tight! I hate tight clothes! " he whined, snapping at his sleeve. The saiyajin continued walking down the
hallway towards the door to the ring. He paused before the door, " That's strange, I don't hear anything. " he opened it,
then gasped, " AAUGH! WHERE ARE ALL THE PEOPLE! " Goku gawked.
" Oh, they had to leave, emergancy cancelations you know. "
The large saiyajin blinked, then turned to see the ringmaster standing in the one spotlight in the entire darkened
ring, " Mr. Ringmaster! I'm glad to see you! I got so worried there for a second. I thought something terrible happened. "
" Oh it already has. " the ringmaster chuckled, lifing up his hat, " Son Goku! "
" *GASP*! IT'S FREEZER! " Goku shrieked, then yelled, " WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE RINGMASTER!! "
Freezer sweatdropped, " I _AM_ the ringmaster you MORON! " he chucked his hat to the floor and stepped on it, " ARE
YOU REALLY AS DENSE AS YOU LOOK!! "
" ... "
" ... "
" Now where was I? " Freezer said, aggrivated, " Oh yes! The TERRIBLE THING! "
" What terrible thing? " Goku demanded.
Freezer snapped his fingers and another light shown next to him to reveal Mirai and Bura in a large cage, " Your
little friends missed you more than you had anticipated, Son Goku. "
" MIRAI! BURA! "
" But these two aren't who I have my eyes out for. They are merely a door prize. " he chuckled, " The real fun is
what's behind me! " he snapped his fingers again causing all the lights in the ring to lit up and reveal Vegeta and Chi-Chi,
both tied up and upside-down. They were hanging from opposite ends of the tightrope over two identical lava pits.
" KAKAY!! "
" GO-CHAN GET UP HERE AND HELP ME!!! "
" ... " Goku stared at them in shock.
" Aww, what's the matter? Worried your going to lose your two most precious companions? " Freezer said in a
baby-voice, mocking him. He laughed heartily, " Well don't worry, it's not nearly as bad as it seems. When the tight-rope
snaps they will both plummet into the lava. The rope tied around them is specially designed to repel ki and any attack that
might break common rope. However I will tell you this in your favor, you have just enough time to save one of them. The other
will fall to their doom. " Goku's eyes widened, " So, who's it gonna be? "
" I....YOU CAN'T MAKE ME DO THIS!! " Goku shouted at him.
" Do what? Make you chose between the two of them? You don't HAVE to choose you know. You can let them BOTH die if
you want. " Freezer cackled.
" NO!! " he grabbed the sides of his head.
" Go-chan! "
Goku looked up to see Chi-Chi smiling nervously at him, " Chi-chan? "
" Yes! It's Chi-chan. Listen, sweetie, the ouji can take care of himself, _I_ _CAN'T_! Because unlike him, I do not
possess the power to FLY! Besides, when you really think about it, I am the better choice. He's just a "little buddy".
You've had LOTS of little buddies in the past, but you only have ONE wife, ME! " she pleaded with him.
" I...suppose... " Goku said uneasily.
" KAKAY!!! " Goku turned to the figure hanging on the right side of the tightrope, " Kakay help me! " he sobbed.
" Little Veggie? "
" Hai. Kakarrotto-chan, you're little Veggie needs you to come up here so he can talk to you. " Vegeta fake-pouted.
Chi-Chi glared at him.
" DON'T YOU GO UP THERE GOKU! HE'S TRYING TO TRICK YOU INTO CHOOSING HIM!!! " Chi-Chi shrieked as Goku flew up to
where the upside-down ouji was hanging.
" What is it you want to tell me little buddy 'o mine? " Goku asked curiously.
" Kakay, you know how we're the last two saiyajins in existance? "
" Yeah? "
" And how much we mean to each other? "
" Yeah? "
" And how we've somehow been bonded together by those twisted fusion earrings for the rest of eternity? "
" *sniffle*, yeah? "
" Who's your little buddy? "
" YOU'RE MY LITTLE BUDDY!!! " Goku wailed, floating upside-down himself and hugging the ouji.
" All he did was just repeat what Bura said earlier. " Mirai sweatdropped from within the cage.
" I happen to be a brilliant speech writer, I can't help it if Toussan agrees with me. " Bura said proudly.
" You'd never leave your little buddy, would you Kaka-chan? " Vegeta said, mock-sniffling.
" Never Veggie! Never never NEVER!!! " Goku cried back, hugging tighter.
" Well why don't you cut me down then and we can beat up Freezer together; I get to finish him though; and after that
we'll send Bura and Mirai back home while I take you to this nice little resturant I know of near the edge of the Milky Way.
They even serve a few saiyajin dishes there I'm sure you'll like. " he said sneakily.
" Dinnertime with Veggie?... " Goku mused, imagining the two wildly stuffing their faces full of every food this yet
to be seen resturant had to offer.
" NO!! GO-CHAN! DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!!! THAT OUJI WANTS TO DO HORRIBLE TERRIBLE THINGS TO YOU!! WHY THE MOMENT HE GETS
YOU ALONE HE'LL---OH GOKU CHOOSE ME!!! " Chi-Chi exclaimed. Goku looked over at her.
" I forgot all about my Chi-chan. " he floated towards her.
" KAKARROTTO-CHAN! WHAT ABOUT ME!!! " Vegeta screamed.
" VEH--CHI--OHHHH!!! " Goku gulped, floating between them.
" Just choose one. It's a simple matter of who you love the most. The other gets fried. " Freezer shrugged, " What
could be simpler than that? "
" But....but I can't choose Veggie over Chi-chan or Chi-chan over Veggie. It's impossible. I won't win no matter WHO
I choose because I would lose one of them anyway! " Goku said bitterly. The lava began to bubble from the two pits, " And
they love me both the same so...I CHOOSE TO SAVE BOTH OF THEM!!! "
" WHAT?! " Freezer gawked, " YOU CAN'T DO THAT!! "
Goku turned to the two lava pits beneath him and sent two huge platforms of ki hurling down overtop of the pits,
covering them just as the ropes holding Vegeta and Chi-Chi snapped. The duo fell downwards and bounced off the ki platform
back into the air. Goku caught one in each hand and landed on the ground. He set them down and zappped the ropes around
Chi-Chi and Vegeta, frying them. The ropes dropped off their captives, " TA-DA! " he said in a sing-song voice, " I am a
very resourceful person! " Goku grinned happily.
" OH GO-CHAN! " Chi-Chi, tripped Vegeta to the floor as she ran to Goku and hugged him, " I knew you wouldn't let me
OR that EVIL LITTLE OUJI down! I love you sweetie! "
Goku blushed, giggling, " Aww, Chi-chan do you really mean it? "
" OF COURSE I DO!! And don't you think anything else! " she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Vegeta got up and dusted himself off, then walked over to the couple and pushed Chi-Chi to the side, " Aren't you
forgeting someone, lil Kakay-chan-chan? " he smiled in his sweetest voice.
" MY VEGGIE!!! " Goku squealed, grabbing the ouji and squeezing him tightly, " OOOOHHHHHHH MY LITTLE VEGGIE I WAS SO
SCARED I WAS GOING TO LOSE YOU AND CHI-CHAN FOREVER! "
" Heehee! But you were a smart lil Kakay and found a way to save us both at the same time! " Vegeta smiled at him.
" Yes I am! " Goku hugged back even tighter, " Oh my wonderful sweet little buddy! "
" *A-HEM*!! "
Goku glanced over at Mirai and Bura, who were still in the cage.
" Oh yeah! I almost forgot about you too! " Goku placed the ouji on his shoulders and piggy-backed over to where
Mirai, Bura, Freezer, and the cage were. He turned to Freezer, " Hey do you have the keys to that? "
" Hmm? Yeah, sure. " Freezer handed the keys to Goku without a problem. Vegeta sweatdropped. The large saiyajin
placed the keys in the hole to the cage and unlocked it, freeing them.
" HA! " Mirai shouted, pointing at Freezer. He whipped out his sword, " Now I'm going to kill you--AGAIN! "
" HEY! I WANNA KILL HIM THIS TIME! " Vegeta yelled, " I STILL HAVE TO AVENGE MY PLANET! "
" NO WAY OUJI BOY! IF THIS GUY HADN'T BEEN SO ROTTEN TO YOU YOU WOULDN'T HAVE FLEW OFF, LANDED ON EARTH AND DECIDED
TO STEAL MY GO-CHAN AWAY!!! " Chi-Chi argued.
" Hmm, maybe we should form a line. " Goku scratched his head, " But me first cuz he killed my Veggie! "
" You tell 'um Kakay! " Vegeta gave the larger saiyajin a squeeze from behind.
" DON'T YOU SQUEEZE HIM!! " Chi-Chi roared.
" I can squeeze Kakay anywhere I want because he enjoys it! " Vegeta said stubbornly.
" HE DOES NOT! THAT'S A LIE! "
" *RUMBLE*RUMBLE*!!! " the gang froze as the two lava pits began to shake in an attempt to burst through Goku's ki
blockers.
" She's gonna BLOW!!! " Mirai shrieked.
" Veggie quick! Get off I gotta carry Chi-chan! " Goku ordered him. The ouji reluctantly jumped off, " Come on
Chi-chan we've got to hurry!! " Goku said as he picked her up in his arms. Chi-Chi smiled, then blew a raspberry in Vegeta's
direction. The ouji glared back, then flew off, followed quickly by Mirai, " Ready to go Chi-chan? " Goku grinned at her.
" Anytime you want Son Goku! " she squeezed him affectionately. Goku backed up, then blasted off along with Chi-Chi
out of the ring.
Freezer stuck his tongue out, " Well, that wasn't very fun. " he said, then heard a low, maniacal growl behind him.
He turned around to see Bura snickering evilly at him.
" You're right, it wasn't fun. " Bura smirked, " Toying with Mr. Goten's Daddy's heart like that. And YOU killed my
poor Toussan? " she went ssj, " You're a bad bad man. " she took a step towards him. Freezer backed up as soon as she went
ssj, " You know what I do to bad guys who hurt my two favorite people in the whole wide world? "
" ...no? "
" I have "fun". " she grinned wickedly, then leapt at him with a ball of ki in hand, " AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! "
" And then I kicked his head around the ring like a soccer ball! " Bura said happily as they entire gang sat in the
spaceship.
" Aww B-chan! You make me proud to have fathered you! " Vegeta wiped a tear of joy from his eyes, then hugged her.
" Heeheeheehee! " Bura giggled.
" Hey! What about me! _I_ killed Freezer the FIRST time and all I got was "he's not a real saiyajin, he has purple
hair"! " Mirai snorted.
" Yes, but you destoryed him in one swoop, B-chan destoryed with the FLAIR of a true saiyajin warrior! " Vegeta
grinned.
" Yeah, a true saiyajin warrior who plays with dolls. " Mirai grumbled.
" I PLAY WITH POOKEE, DOES THAT MAKE _ME_ ANY LESS OF A WARRIOR!!! " Vegeta growled, holding up his stuffed teddy
bear.
" NO! No Toussan it's just, uhhh...heh-heh. " Mirai laughed nervously.
" Well I for one am glad we're all back together and safe. " Chi-Chi smiled, then glanced over at Vegeta, " Well,
I'm glad MOST of us are safe. "
" Neh! " Vegeta stuck out his tongue.
" And I got a pretty umbrella out of the deal! " Goku said, still in his tight-rope walker costume and spinning his
umbrella around.
" It's a shame we never got to see Mr. Goten's Daddy perform his beautiful tight-rope act. " Bura said sadly.
" That's alright Bura. I can show it too you when we get home! " Goku grinned, then turned to Chi-Chi, " How long IS
it until we get home? "
" A couple days, give or take. " Chi-Chi nodded, " Well, that's how long it took us to get here anyway. "
" I think your costume is VERY fitting, Kaka-chan. " Vegeta smiled, flattering the bigger saiyajin.
" Awwww, you think so little Veggie? " Goku said proudly. Chi-Chi sent a death-glare at the ouji, who only grinned
back at her.
" Absolutely Kakarrotto-chan! "
" Well then in that case you can have it! " Goku spat out, snapping the material on his shoulders again, " I can't
STAND this tight form-fitting stuff! Besides....this isn't my color at all. "
The rest of the group fell to the ground, animé style.
Vegeta laughed nervously, getting up, " Heh-heh-heh. " he regained his cool, " I don't think I'd mind taking that
outfit off your hands at all, Kakay. " the ouji's tail unknowingly crept up behind him and tightened itself around Goku's
neck.
Chi-Chi slapped Vegeta across the face, " WELL _I_ MIND!!! "
Goku laughed at the tail around his neck, " Chi-chan look! Veggie's tail is trying to choke me! " he paused suddenly,
" "veggie's tail"??? " he looked down to where the tail led and was astonished to find out it was the ouji, " Hmm, Veggie's
tail. Whadda ya know. We meet again. "
Chi-Chi took one look at what the tail, which was currently rubbing Goku's chin, and groaned, " Oh great, another
ouji appendage that's just as obsessive as he is. " she grabbed the tail and snapped it out from around Goku's neck,
" HERE! " she thrust it into Vegeta's hands, " Now keep it somewhere where it can't hurt Go-chan! "
" Hurt him? " Vegeta said, then smirked, " My tail doesn't want to HURT Kakay. It only wants what I want from him. "
" A HUG! " Goku cheered.
Vegeta sweatdropped, " No.... "
" To drink and be merry! "
" No. "
" To come fishin with me? "
" NO! "
Chi-Chi shook her head and groaned.
" You know Onna, " Vegeta snickered at her, " It's a good thing Earth doesn't have a moon anymore. Because if it did
I would transform and then squeeze your head open like a grape. "
" GOKU! GOKU DID YOU HEAR WHAT HE JUST SAID! HE'S MAKING THREATS TO ME! VIOLENT THREATS TO KILL ME!! GO-CHAN!!! "
Chi-Chi yelled at the saiyajin, who wasn't paying any attention.
" Hey Kakay, look out the window! " Vegeta pressed the larger saiyajin's face against the window, " Look at those
moons down there, aren't they pretty? " he said sneakily while looking away from the window himself.
" Moooooooooon...preeeeeettty moooo--*FWOOSH* YEOW!! " Goku screamed, grabbing his behind to find a similar furry
apendage had returned to it, " Look! I got my tail back too! Hi little taily! " he giggled, giving his tail a hug.
Vegeta grinned evilly at Chi-Chi, " Heh! "
" I hate you. "
" Well Mirai, it looks like everything is back to normal! " Bura chirped, then watched as Chi-Chi angrily chased
Vegeta around the ship, followed by the newly-tailed Goku, who was shouting for her to stop, " Almost... " she turned
to her brother, " Is that a good thing? "
" Heaven only knows. " Mirai said dryly, " ...and I sure hope so. "

THE END
Chuquita: You know I was thinking about extending this to a fourth chapter, but I didn't have enough material left to stuff
everything from Son finding out Freezer was behind it to the end of the story and still call it a whole chapter.
Goku: (bouncing up and down in his chair while his bubble-suit pops) Really?
Chuquita: Yeah. I had this big scene where Veggie goes Oozaru on Freezer and steps on him...but it's not happening.
Goku: (laughs) Not now anyway, the story's over.
Vegeta: Is that why I got my tail back?
Goku: And the reason the circus was on two moons?
Chuquita: Yup. You see I only plan these stories out to some degree. If you've read other ones we've done you can always spot
some idea that looks like it was supposed to be of importance later on but never re-surfaced. A lot of these fics start from
one scene that pops into my head and I sort of build the rest of the fic around it.
Goku: (grins) Like in a murder mystery!
Chuquita: Sorta. I read Toriyama himself starts out with the plotline first and then the characters...but I could never write
like that. Did you know he doesn't like Veggie?
Goku: *GASP*! That's TERRIBLE! [grabs Veggie & holds him] Poor little baby.
Vegeta: (glowing) Heh-heh-heh...
Chuquita: Yeah. His favorites are you and Piccolo. Akira's a big namek person. I guess that's why even later on in the series
when most of the stuff's about the saiyajins you still see Piccolo on the merchandise with them.
Goku: (remincing) Ahh, Piccy. My little buddy before Veggie, he lasted 6 years. He was good for fishing with, but not as
huggably soft as little Veggie is! [hugs Veggie]
Vegeta: (dazed) Whosa wha?...
Chuquita: Yeah. Then Veggie lasts for 22 years if you count the "room of spirit and time" as a year. Then you have Uubu.
Vegeta: (snaps out of his daze) (furious) UUBU! WHO THE HECK IS UUBU!
Chuquita: Well I can't say it for sure, but from what the end of the actual show and manga look like, it seems Uubu gets the
role at the very end when Son takes him off to train him.
Vegeta: (nervously jumps out of Son's arms) Wha, what do you mean!
Chuquita: Oh-kay, first of all, every little buddy was once some super-strong villian Son-kun faught, right? (looks at Goku)
Goku: (counting his fingers) Hmm. Kuririn, Tenshinhan, Piccolo, Veggie....yup!
Chuquita: And then Buu. Son wished for him to come back after he destroyed him so he could fight him again.
Goku: Just like Veggie!
Vegeta: (in a state of shock) "Just like Veggie..."
Chuquita: And then he deliberately makes Buu switch the cards so he can fight Uubu and when he does he taunts him a bit.
Goku: [looking at the manga] Haha! I called him a Poopyhead! (giggles) I gotta remember that one. POOPYHEAD!
Chuquita: And after they fight a bit he decides to go take him off to train. Even Piccolo says he hasn't seen Son this happy
in a long time.
Vegeta: (panic) What did I do! How did I offend you Kaka-chan? (sobs) HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO CARELESS!! (idea!) HA! I shall
destroy this "Uubu" before he gains Kakarrotto's affection! Thereby SAVING my title as Kakay's "cute little buddy" MUHAHAHA!
...[looks down at his bubble-briefs] But first I need to change out of this.
Chuquita: Sure. We're done with Bubble-day.
Goku: (frowns) Awwww, we ARE?
Chuquita: Yeah. Sorry Son.
Goku: (sniffling) But, but, but, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BUBBLES!!! (wails as all the bubbles on his suit instantly pop
simultaneously)
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Umm, you know what? If you make it over to the stand were you got those from you can keep as much
of the bubble-clothes as you want.
Goku: (beaming) I _CAN_! YAY! [dashes off]
Vegeta: [returns; no one is aware he had left; in his normal blue training outfit] Ahh, I feel like me again.
Chuquita: Where were you?
Vegeta: Let's just say if you find little "Uubu" down the well outside leave him there.
Chuquita: ...
Vegeta: No, really. He likes it in there. He's got a VCR and everything down there.
Chuquita: (not buying it) (groans) What have I done... (to audiance) (happily) Well, I guess that completes "Under The Big
Top". The next fic is the last one on my list of 8 ideas; the Corner's 2nd Piccy fic. It's called "Stupified". This time
Piccolo tries to take over the world by spreading a stupifying potion on the butterflies that float around Kami's lookout and
send them down to Earth to spread the potion and dum-down the planet, allowing him to take over. But what happens when the
potion makes Piccolo's new subjects so stupid they can't perform simple tasks for him?
Vegeta: (shudders) Every planet-ruler's nightmare...well, ONE of every planet-ruler's nightmares.
Chuquita: Since this is going to be a special, (a one-part mini-story), the next fan-review-requested Corner will return
in the story AFTER "Stupified". I'm going to have the Kami's Lookout gang here with me during that Corner instead. Of course
along with our saiyajin regulars.
Vegeta: (boastfully) Of COURSE.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) After that story I will list my next edition of story ideas.
Goku: YAY! [with bubble-clothes in his hands]
Chuquita: For some reason my last Piccolo-oriented story didn't get many reviews. (only 10..or 11..somewhere around there)
But I thought it was one of my best mini-fics. I even have that one on Lauryn's site and so far it's gotten 35 hits. So I
know it's good. I guess my humor differs slightly with Piccolo in the spotlight as opposed to Goku & Vegeta.
Vegeta: (smirks) Yes, the people love reading about ME on demand! MUCH MORE than the namek.
[Piccolo walks onstage and whacks Vegeta over the head with one of the stage lights]
Piccolo: (walks off laughing)
Vegeta: (falls down unconsious)
Goku: (staring down at Vegeta) Well he asked for it.
Chuquita: That he did. You and Veggie do have slightly larger roles in this Piccy fic than the last through.
Goku: (grins) Really?
Chuquita: You and the rest of the Z gang are part of Piccolo's stupified minnions.
Goku: YAY! I wanna be Piccy's head-chef!
Chuquita: But nameks don't eat.
Goku: ... (bursts into a grin) (happily) MORE FOOD FOR ME THEN!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) (to audiance) Well, cya next time everybody!
Goku: BYE!
Vegeta: (sits up; missing several front teeth) If anybody finds a tooth, it's mine.
Goku: Oops, I just think I stepped on one.
Vegeta: Rats.

Quote of the Week: "But Dad, I'm a growing boy, I need fish!" -Brak
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Hello and welcome to Part 3 of "Under the Big Top". Brought to you by BUBBLEWRAP!
Goku: (sitting next to her wearing a grey and black bubblewrap tuxedo) (spy-voice) That's right Chu!
Chuquita: (cocks an eyebrow at him) And who are you supposed to be.
Goku: I'm Wrap, Bubble Wrap. Agent 3 and 3 quarters.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops)
Goku: (big doofy grin) Wanna sniff my bubble-rose? [points to the pink bubble-wrap flower in the pocket of his bubble-tux]
It smells bubbly!
Chuquita: No thanks I'm allergic....say where's Veggie?
Goku: (giggles) (clasps his hands together) OH you should see him he looks so CUTE!
Chuquita: Really?
Goku: (whistles to offstage) OH VEH-GEE!
Vegeta: [walks onto the set wearing a pink bubble teddy bear suit] (glaring at Son & Chu)
Chuquita: ...
Goku: ...
Chuquita: HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA--OOHF! [falls out of her chair and onto the floor] HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
[gets up] (while laughing loudly) WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU! [points at Veggie]
Vegeta: (grumbles) It's none of your business. [sits down in his chair]
Chuquita: (snickers) Hey Vedge, seriously, how'd you get into THAT outfit?
Vegeta: (looks away) (mumbling; embarassed) Kakarrotto-chan thought I'd look cute.
Goku: (grinning wider) VEGGIE LEMMIE HUG YOU!!!!
Vegeta: (freezes) (flatly) Not on your life. I am NOT getting stuck to you again.
Goku: (bites his lip) But, but, but, the sensation in my hands is so great....I MUST HUG SOMETHING!!!
Vegeta: Well it's not gonna be me. [folds his arms]
Goku: But you look so adorable in your lil Veggie-sized teddy bear outfit--PLEASE LET ME HOLD YOU!
Vegeta: (glows bright red) Well, I...
Goku: [jumps at him to glomp on] GIMMIE VEGGIE-HUGS!
Vegeta: AHH! [dodges] (runs off stage only to creep back on seconds later in his normal non-bubblewrap underwear) *whew*
Last time _I_ wear something Kakarrotto thinks is "cute". [sits down in his seat and blows a raspberry at Son] HA!
Goku: (whimpers)
Chuquita: That outfit isn't very bubblewrapily, Vedge.
Vegeta: Shutup. (smirks) At least in my underwear I am safe from Kakarrotto's bubblewrapping spree in my undergarments.
Goku: He's right, I don't feel the overwhelming desire to squeeze him for long intervals at a time anymore.
Vegeta: HAHAHAHAHA! See that Chu? _I_ can win a battle against Kakarrot TOO every once an in a while.
Goku: (depressed sigh)
Chuquita: Aww, Vedge ya made Son-San sad.
Vegeta: (grins) Well at least I am no longer wearing any bubble-clothes. If there's one thing you can always rely on, it's
your own underwear.
Goku: (giggles)
Vegeta: What?
Goku: (still giggling) [hold up a pair of bubblewrap-underwear] Heeheehee!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Where did you get THAT?
Goku: The bubblewrap lady made some. They're in the blue bin.
Chuquita: Oh....bubble-underwear...who knew? (shrugs)
Goku: Hey Veggie? (holds the bubble-underwear infront of him)
Vegeta: ... (blinks) (glares) Not in this lifetime.
Goku: (frowns) Come on! It's BUBBLEWRAP DAY! You can't just sit there in REGULAR underpants on BUBBLEWRAP DAY now can you?
Vegeta: Kakarrotto, you're CRAZY if you think I'm going to sit here wearing a pair of briefs made out of "bubblewrap"!
10 seconds later...
Vegeta: (dryly) I'm sitting here wearing a pair of briefs made out of bubblewrap.
Goku: (grins) They're very aerodynamically ventilating.
Vegeta: (confused) What?
Goku: And they're cute too!
Chuquita: Isn't that going to feel a little uncomfortable after a while? I mean, after all, it is pretty warm outside.
Goku: Silly Chu! All you have to do is pop a bubble and INSTANT breezes of cool air float through your pants!
Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) Let me guess, you're wearing a pair too?
Goku: Underneath my (secret agent voice) SPY COSTUME?
Vegeta: No, on your head.
Goku: ???
Vegeta: OF COURSE UNDER YOUR SPY COSTUME YOU BIG BAKAYARO!!
Goku: Hmm? OH! Yeah, only I happen to be sporting boxers. (big commercial like grin)
Vegeta: (groans) Oh brother...just start the story!
Chuquita: Alright then! Onto Part 3!
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!

" Onna. Onna? Wake up, Onna. "
" Ugh... " Chi-Chi slowly opened her eyes to see two blurry blobs infront of her. She focused on the larger of the
two, sat up, and grabbed him by the throat, " YOU! "
" ME. " Vegeta smirked.
" YOU WAIT'LL I'M DONE WITH YOU I'LL RIP YOUR INSIDES OUT YOU EVIL EVIL LITTLE OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi screamed, shaking
him angrily back and forth. She paused suddenly, " Wait....what did you do again? "
" HAHAHA! " Vegeta laughed at her. Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes and dropped the prince to the floor, " I did NOTHING to
you, Onna. You merely fainted while reading Kaka-chan's passionate little plea of a letter to yours truely. "
" What? "
" Here! " Bura chirped, holding out the ouji's little black book which was turned to the page where Goku's
handwriting could be seen.
Chi-Chi swiped the book out of Bura's hand and read the first several pages in disgust, " Impossible! "
" What? "
" It's impossible my Go-chan could have written this ouji-lovin garbage! Look at this! This looks more like something
that would come out of YOUR mouth than Goku's! " she snorted.
" Kakay was SO NERVOUS when he gave that beautifully written letter to me. He was afraid that you were going to beat
him for being nice to me again. " Vegeta mocked.
" Afraid I was going to BEAT HIM! I'VE NEVER ABUSED HIM IN ALL MY LIFE!!! " Chi-Chi gawked, sickened.
" Poor lil Kakay, *sniffle* he said every time he even mentioned my name you would smack him over the head with your
mallet, tie him up and lock him in the basement overnight. " Vegeta continued on overdramatically, " And he'd sit there on
the cold basement floor sobbing and crying for his "little Veggie" to come and take him away from all this so he could be
safe and happy under his little buddy's care forever. "
" You big fat liar! We don't even HAVE a basement! " Chi-Chi exclaimed.
" ...oh. " Vegeta scratched his head.
" Mrs. Goten's Mommy don't you even wanna read the lovely poem "Kakay" wrote for Toussan? " Bura said eagerly.
" No. " Chi-Chi said bluntly, " He didn't write ANY of this! I've seen Goku's writing many times before and although
it looks like it, his vocabulary is FAR from what is in that letter. Besides, he couldn't spell "enraptured" if his life
depended on it. " she walked out of the room, the little black book in hand.
" Ohhhh... " Bura pouted, then yelled after her, " I BET HE COULD SPELL IT IF HE TRIED HARD ENOUGH!! "
Vegeta looked around the room, then yelped, realizing Chi-Chi still had his book, he dashed out of the room and past
Mirai, who was still hanging upside-down from the hallway ceiling, bound and gagged and looking very aggrivated.
" ONNA! ONNA! " he shouted. Chi-Chi paused.
" What is it NOW, ouji-boy? " she said, annoyed.
" Uhh, Onna, I, uhh, I really need to have that book back right now. " Vegeta grinned cheesily.
" Really? " Chi-Chi smirked, " Why, is there something in here that's "inappropriate" for these GORGOUS eyes to gaze
upon? " she flipped through several pages.
" GIVE ME THAT!! " Vegeta grabbed at the book only to have Chi-Chi pull it away and hold it high above her head,
" THERE ARE PRIVATE DOCUMENTS WRITTEN IN THERE THAT ARE SO PRIVATE THAT ONLY THEIR CREATOR, the great and powerful saiyajin
no ouji, IS THE ONLY ONE TO SEE THEM!!! " he yelled.
" Does this little book contain something embarassing? Troubling? Some secret that is so closely guarded by your
"saiyajin pride" that if someone who dislikes you, say, ME, were to find out it would crumble your entire world into pieces
and force you to move away off the Earth and never be seen from by me or my Go-chan EVER AGAIN? "
" ... " Vegeta felt himself quiver. He hung his head down, " Yes. " he moaned.
" YAY! " Chi-Chi lept in the air and did a little cheer, then ran off to the control room, " SEE YA LATER OUJI! I'M
OFF TO DO SOME LIGHT READING! HAHA! "
Vegeta bolted to attention, then shrieked, " NO YOU DON'T! COME BACK DON'T READ THAT THAT'S VERY PERSONAL I WON'T LET
YOU!!! " he went SSJ2 and flew down the hall...and into the control room's steel door.
Chi-Chi watched with glee as the imprint of the ouji's head followed by the sound of something slowly sliding down
the door in pain reached the ground. She laughed at him, then sat in the Captain's chair and started to read.
" Haha haha haha! Hahahahahaha! Haha haha haha! Hahahahahaha! " Bura sang to the beat of the Mexican hat dance music
from the boombox behind her as she continued to whack the enraged Mirai with a stick as if he were a piñata.
" EERRRRRRRRRRrrrRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR---oof! " Mirai began to go SSJ, then stopped as Bura's
last whack at him with the stick sent the rope he was tied to along with himself crashing to the floor. Mirai woozily got up
and ripped his gag off with his teeth, then glared down at Bura.
" Heh-heh. Heh-heh-heh. " Bura laughed nervously, then yelped as Mirai kicked her into the wall and ran off after
Vegeta and Chi-Chi. Bura shouted at him, " YOU WAIT TILL TOUSSAN SEES WHAT YOU JUST DID TO ME! YOU'LL BE SORRY!!! " she said,
still stuck in the wall.
" OTOUSSAN! OTOUSSAN! " Mirai screeched to a halt infront of Vegeta, who was now on the floor, ssj2, with his face
on the ground. Mirai tapped him on the head with his foot, " Hey Toussan? Are you alright? "
" Kah-keeee? " Vegeta said, dazed. He got up and shook it off, " OhhhHHHH! MY HEAD!! " he grabbed both sides of his
head in pain, " STUPID ONNA! " he slammed his fist into the door, then noticed Mirai was tapping his foot impatiently. The
ouji glared at him, " Whadda you want? "
" *A-HEM* " Mirai signalled to the ropes tied around his arms and chest.
" Yeah, rope. What about it? " Vegeta said casually.
" ARRRG! " Mirai screamed, then froze, " Toussan, if we're all out here, who's flying the SHIP!!! " he panicked.
" Huh? Oh, Onna's in there. " he shrugged.
" CHI-CHI DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FLY THE SPACESHIP!!! " Mirai shrieked.
" I know that, moron. She's in there READING THINGS THAT ARE PRIVATE PROPERTY OF THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO
OUJI!!! " he roared, then switched to pouting, " Oh this is terrible! " he fell to his knees, " All my private, most
secretive thoughts EXPOSED for the taking like free popcorn! " Vegeta said nervously, " A--and if Onna finds out, she'll most
likely tell Kakay and if Kakay finds out---I'M FINISHED!!! " he wailed, " If Kakay knows I've been spying on him and taking
his stuff and doing all sorts of obsessive things behind his back he'll be so afraid of me he'll never want to see me again!
And what's worse; the Onna would have WON!!! "
Mirai kicked the door a few times with his knee. Chi-Chi poked her head out, then opened the door, smiling. Mirai
followed her inside, still tied up. Vegeta watched the scene unfold, then grinned and got to his feet.
" A-HA! "
" *SLAM!* " a small cloud of doom hung over Vegeta's head as he stared at the once again closed door.
Mirai sat down in the captain's chair and Chi-Chi sat in the one next to it, still engrossed in her reading.
" Ahh, looks like smooth sailing from hear on in. " Mirai smiled at the clear space before them, then sweatdropped
as dozens of meteors appeared out of nowhere. He looked around, realizing his arms were still tied and grabbed the wheel with
his mouth, turning left violently and sending everything in the spaceship careening towards the walls, including Vegeta and
Bura. Mirai wiped the sweat from his brow with his pantleg, then sat back and sighed, " Boy that was a close one, huh Chi? "
" ... "
" Chi-Chi? "
" Wha-huh? " she looked up from her book.
" Do you think you could pause from reading whatever facinating nugget of joy Toussan's book has to offer and come
help untie me? " Mirai asked, " If it's not too much trouble. I DID just save your lives but hey, don't be in a hurry just
for little 'ol me. " he gritted through his teeth.
Chi-Chi grabbed a tiny string sticking out of one of the pieces of rope and pulled it. The entire roll of rope around
Mirai instantly fell to his knees. Mirai sweatdropped.
" Amazing, isn't it. "
" Uh-huh.. " Chi-Chi trailed off.
" So, would you mind if I take a peek at that book of yours? " Mirai said, looking over her shoulder.
" Hmm? Yeah, sure, no harm in it anyway, seeing as it's in--- "
" ---NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Mirai and Chi-Chi froze and looked up to see Vegeta standing before
them, panting heavily while nervous sweat dripped down his face.
" Did he just run straight through that door? " Chi-Chi pointed to the big hole behind the small ouji.
" Yeah...I think he did. " Mirai mumbled.
" Muh-muh-my, muh-muh-my, muh-muh-MY BOOK!!! " he shouted, pointing at it.
" Yes, you're book. " Chi-Chi nodded, then walked over to him, " Well ouji, I can safely say whatever personal
secrets you have locked up in that brain and in this book are going to stay there for a while. "
" Eh? " Vegeta blinked, confused.
Chi-Chi smacked him over the head with the book, " IT'S ALL WRITTEN IN YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE, YOU NIMROD! " she handed
it back over to him. She looked at him, disturbed, " Althrough I did find some peculiar drawings in there. You're a pretty
good artist, ouji-boy, but you need to have your head checked. There's no way Go-chan OR I would let those little doodles of
yours become a reality. " she smiled, then glared at him, " ALRIGHT? "
Vegeta smirked at her, " Oh they'll become "reality", Onna. The second you cease to exist every little plot and plan
in this book will become reality. MY reality. KAKAY'S reality. OUR reality. "
Chi-Chi slugged him in the jaw, knocking Vegeta to the floor, " NOT IN THIS LIFETIME!! " she said angrily.
Vegeta weakly held up his pointer finger, " You mean...not...in YOUR...lifetime. "
" AAARG!!! " Chi-Chi leapt onto Vegeta and started beating him across the face senseless. Mirai slammed his head down
on the control panel.
" Honestly. They act like children. " he turned his head towards them, " You KNOW, Toussan, if you'd stop retorting
to EVERYTHING Chi-Chi says MAYBE this wouldn't have happened. "
" Ironically, that's what got Toussan killed both times. It's not his fault he's so cocky. " a small voice came from
behind the chair. Mirai looked over his shoulder to see Bura, who snarled at him and then pressed the little red button on
Mirai's chair, sending him catapaulting into the ceiling. She laughed at him, then hopped up on the control panel, " Serves
you right for trying to hurt the saiyajin no oujo! " she stuck her tongue out at Mirai.
" I....hate you... " Mirai groaned, smushed between the chair and the ceiling.
" Hmm, we should be there by now. " Bura pouted as she stared out of the large windshield, then gasped with joy,
" THERE! THERE IT IS! "
Everyone else instantly stopped what they were doing.
" Where! " Chi-Chi demanded as she and Vegeta zipped over to where Bura was standing. Mirai reached his hand out and
pulled and pushed the crank that slowly lowered him and the chair back down.
Bura turned the wheel slightly to the right to reveal two small moons near each other. The large circus tents she had
been in last time were once again up and running. A big digital screen levitated above the middle of the tents.
" Ohhhh... " Chi-Chi and Bura watched in awe.
" Moo-mooo-moo-mooooon. " both girls paused, then turned to their left to see Vegeta standing there shaking in
convoltions, " Moo-moo-moo-mooooo-moon. "
" Toussan? " Bura said, slightly worried. Chi-Chi blinked, then suddenly screamed, having a flashback...
:::" AHHHH!!! WHAT'S THAT GIANT MONKEY CREATURE! " a younger Chi-Chi pointed to Baba's crystal ball, " AND WHERE'D
THAT SMALLER SAIYAJIN GO!! "
" His..tail... " Bulma gulped.
" Eh? "
" His tail! When saiyajins see the moon the light in it turns them into giant apes!!! " Bulma explained.
" Then, then that's? " Oolong stuttered.
Bulma nodded, " Vegeta. "
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! " Goku cried as the large ape continued to crush him within his hands.
Chi-Chi screamed into the crystal ball, " GO-CHAN!!! ":::
" Uhh...uhhhhHhhhh... " Chi-Chi gulped, then slowly inched away from Vegeta, imagining herself being crushed
by a big ape. Mirai slowly got out of his chair, then started to stretch his back only to scream out in pain and fall to
the floor, " Hey! Wait! What am I worried about, how silly. " Chi-Chi laughed at herself, " He doesn't even have his tail
any-- "
" *PSHOOO!!* " Vegeta's tail shot out of the back of his pants like a rocket.
" --more. " Chi-Chi said flatly
" Moo--mooomoo--Moo-moo-moo-moomoomoo-- "
" Yes, move. We're going to move THIS way, " Chi-Chi grabbed Vegeta and turned him around so his back was now facing
the windshield. She wiped the sweat off her face, " Nice timing, ouji. "
" MRS. GOTEN'S MOMMY! COME BACK! MR. GOTEN'S DADDY IS ON THE BIG SPACE SCREEN!!! " Bura squealed. Chi-Chi and Vegeta
froze and instantly rushed back to the control panel. The big digital display monitor hovering above the tents was showing
inside the tents. Goku was standing infront of the camera grinning while wearing his lion tamer's outfit.
" Oh look at him in his little safari hat, he looks so handsome! " Chi-Chi mused.
" And happy. " Vegeta frowned. Chi-Chi frowned.
" HEY! HE _DOES_ LOOK HAPPY! WHY IS HE HAPPY!! " she said furiously, " HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE MISSING US!! "
" HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE LOCKED UP SOMEWHERE CRYING LIKE A BABY AND WANTING TO BE RUNNING INTO MY WAITING ARMS--I'LL
KILL HIM!!! " Vegeta screamed; the hair on his newfound tail standing on end.
" For being "happy"? " Mirai said skeptically.
" NO! FOR BEING HAPPY WITHOUT _ME_ AROUND! I'M HIS _HAPPY-MAKER_ NOT SOME TWO-BIT CIRCUS TENT!!! " the ouji roared,
then grabbed a tissue and sobbed into it, " Oh Kakay, how could you desert me like this! If I had known your love could so
easily be swayed towards something else I NEVER would have let you leave with that evil ringmaster!!! "
" You LET him LEAVE!!! " Chi-Chi loomed over Vegeta, gritting her teeth.
" Yes, I let him leave. " the ouji said defensively, then smirked, " And now I get to be his hero and get all the
nice wonderful beautiful kaka-worship that's been comin to me for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME! "
" Not if I save him first! " Chi-Chi quickly retorted.
" Ha! As if you could save Kakarrotto-chan. Onna, with your chi power I could crush you within mere SECONDS. " Vegeta
narrowed his eyes.
" Then why don't you? "
" ... "
" ... "
" Because Kakay would hate me, that's why. " Vegeta stuck his tongue out at her, " And what good are you gone unless
Kaka-chan still cares about his "little buddy" anyway! "
" Would you like to find out? " Chi-Chi growled, rolling up her sleeve.
" STOP!!! " Mirai screamed, " I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!! "
" We're here! "
" Huh? " the trio said at once.
" Look, I've got a parking space and everything! " Bura said happily. The group was now neatly parked on the circus
grounds.
" Wow, Bura, I'm impressed. " Mirai smiled, " Where'd YOU learn how to park a car? "
" Video games. " Bura shrugged.
" ...alright, everybody out! " Mirai called, then sweatdropped. Chi-Chi and Vegeta were now clawing at the door.
" KAKAY-KAKAY-KAKAY-KAKAY!!! "
" GO-CHAN-GO-CHAN-GO-CHAN!!! "
" Pitiful. " Mirai shook his head, " Come on Bura we'll leave through the left exit. " he walked in the other
direction while Chi-Chi and the saiyajin prince continued trying to push past each other to be the first one out the door.
Bura giggled at them, then left, " Bye you two! Better hurry! Haha! "
" ... "
" ... "
" BURA! MIRAI! WAIT FOR US!! "
" B-CHAN COME BACK!!! "
" Veggie? Chi-chan? " Goku sniffed the air. He was standing backstage with the lions.
" Hey Mr. Son, ready to go on? " the ringmaster asked, " You're up after Bear-Boy and the bearded lady finish their
juggling routine. "
" Hmm? Yeah. It's just that...did you smell Veggie just now? "
" What? " the ringmaster said, confused.
" Veggie gives off this really nice strong scent, and I think I smelled it just know. Or at least got a whiff of it.
Chi-chan says he stinks but I think it's a pretty refreshing smell, don't you? It's kind of like a mix of coconut, bananas,
and some unidentifiable substance. "
" ...I have absolutely NO idea what you're talking about. " the ringmaster said flatly, then grinned and slapped the
large saiyajin across the back, " Now go out there and make this circus proud! "
" YES SIR! " Goku saluted him, then marched happily out into the rings, the lions following behind him in a line on
their hind legs and imitating his strut. The ringmaster sweatdropped, " Ya know Leo, " he said to one of the lions, " I think
the best part of Veggie's Veggie-scent's got to be the unidentifiable substance. I bet that's the part Chi-chan doesn't like
either....maybe it's a saiyajins only scent or something. "
" Rrrrrraaa. " Leo responded.
" Yeah, I am silly to wonder about that, but I could have sworn I got the biggest whiff of it just then. " he folded
his arms, " Oh well, ready? "
" RAAAAA! "
" Look! Here comes Kakay! " the ouji squealed as he and the rest of the gang peeked around one of the bleachers to
get a good look at the center ring.
" He looks so handsome in his explorer costume doesn't he? " Chi-Chi awwed, blushing.
" Yes...did you know that explorers on this planet usually explore in the name of their LEADER? " Vegeta smirked.
" Must you ruin every lovely thought that comes to my mind? " Chi-Chi glared at him, annoyed.
" That's my job. " Vegeta grinned at her, " Or, part of it. "
" URG! "
" Mr. Goten's Daddy looks so helpless with all those lions around him. Wha, what if they ATE him! " Bura gulped.
" Honestly Bura, they're not going to EAT Son. They're trained. " Mirai shook his head.
" SO! " she shouted, " What if when Mr. Goten's Daddy goes to put his head in one of the lion's mouths it decides to
bite down on and decapitate him!!! " she said nervously.
" ... " Vegeta's eyes widened, " AHH! KAKAY!! " he screamed, only to have Chi-Chi slap her hand over his mouth and
grab his tail with her other hand.
" Will you be quiet! We don't want him to know we're here! Not yet, anyway. " Chi-Chi whispered, then paused as Goku
looked up at the ceiling and once again sniffed the air. He smiled contently, then turned in the direction the smell had come
from and waved towards where the gang was hiding.
Vegeta grinned and waved back. Chi-Chi pulled the hand she had on the ouji's mouth away and grabbed his arm instead.
" Do you think he saw us? " Chi-Chi asked Mirai, who shrugged.
" He didn't see us, he SMELLED me. " Vegeta said proudly.
" Really, I didn't know you could stink THAT bad. " Chi-Chi retorted.
The ouji sweatdropped, " Actually, I happen to think my royal saiyajin odor happens to give off quite an attractive
scent. Not that anyone without a heightened sense of smell can understand it. YOU can't begin to fathom what my TRUE
unadulterated scent is like. Kakarrotto-chan, on the other hand... "
" *SMACK!* " Chi-Chi's hand had once again made it's way back over Vegeta's mouth.
" Keep your comments to yourself ouji-boy. " she said in a low deadly voice. Vegeta pushed her hand off his mouth and
backed up, snickering.
" By the way, do you happen to know what this scent of mine is for? " Vegeta smiled evilly.
" No, and I'd rather not hear it. " Chi-Chi snorted, then turned back to the show.
" I'm sure Kakarrotto-chan would tell you if you asked him, he being so fond of it and all-- "
" *POW!!!* "
" That's strange, if I didn't know any better I'd have thought I just heard someone getting a kick to their privates.
...a really HARD kick too. " Goku blinked, " Oh well! The show must go on! FIVE! " he pointed to the lions, who all turned
their heads up towards the ceiling and began to form balls of ki in their mouth, " FOUR! " the lions spat the ki into the
air, Goku instantly caught them and began to juggle the 6 or so large ki spheres, " THREE! " he mentally broke each ball in
half then started chucking them at the lions, who hopped onto their hind legs and also began to juggle, " TWO! " the juggling
lions started to form a human pyramid while still on their hind legs and juggling. Goku climbed the pyramid and stood on top,
" ONE! " the group sent their ki balls flying upward until they exploded like fireworks in the sky. The light trickled down
to read "The Interplanetary Circus". The audiance cheered wildly as Goku and his fellow performers hopped down out of their
pyramid and bowed before them.
" Thanks everybody! I'm in the next act so I gotta hurry! BYE! I LOVE YOU! " he grinned, then ran off. The lions
followed him out of the ring.
" Awww, Kaka-chan loves me! " Vegeta glowed bright red.
" Oh he does NOT! He was speaking in general! That is, to the ENTIRE audiance! Not you in particular, ouji. " Chi-Chi
corrected him, angry.
" Ahh, but if he meant the entire audiance, then that includes me too! " Vegeta grinned. Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" I hate it when he's right. "
" Unbelievable. He taught those lions how to juggle, form ki, and do acrobatics in that little time. " Mirai gawked,
impressed.
" Mr. Goten's Daddy is so magical! " Bura giggled, " That is why he and Toussan care for each other SO MUCH! "
" THEY DO NOT CARE FOR EACH OTHER!! NOW YOU SHUT UP!! " Chi-Chi snapped at her, " But yes I have to agree that was a
spectacular performance my little Go-chan put on. And it's the LAST TIME he's GOING to do it too because we're going to find
him and bring him home right now! "
" Are you? "
Chi-Chi spun around to come face-to-face, or rather face-to-big-red-top-hat, with the ringmaster.
" Yes, as a matter of fact I am! WE are. I am Go-chan's wife and over there is his "little buddy", and his "little
buddy"'s children Mirai and Bura. "
The ringmaster cocked his head towards Vegeta, " Is that so, Bobo? "
The ouji froze.
" These lovely children belong to you do they. " he smirked.
" You wanna make something of it? " the ringmaster looked down to see Bura growling up a him, her fists clenched,
" How DARE you try and rip apart Toussan and Mr. Goten's Daddy's relationship. They're bonded together by the potara fusion
not to mention how badly they care about one another and the fact that they're buddies and that they're the LAST TWO saiyajin
in existance! "
" They ARE the last two saiyajin in existance aren't they. " the ringmaster chuckled, " And do you know what happened
to the rest of the saiyajins? "
" ... "
" I DESTROYED THEM! " he threw his hat to the ground.
" FREEZER!!! " Vegeta gasped. Mirai gritted his teeth. Bura and Chi-Chi blinked, bewildered.
" Freezer? Who's Freezer? " Bura asked.
Vegeta gulped, then realized something and smirked, ::Freezer! This is perfect! I don't know how he escaped from the
H.F.I.L, but no matter. With how much stronger I am than him now--and my ability to reach SSJ2!; if I defeat Freezer I will
not only pay him back for the horrors he's cost me but when Kakarrotto finds out _I_ saved him from _Freezer_...:: " A-ho ho
ho! " Vegeta laughed greedily.
" What's so funny! " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at the ouji, who came back out of his daydream.
" Huh? " he blinked, then smirked, " Onna, that ugly being over there is Freezer. He is the one who destoryed
Bejito-sei along with nearly all the saiyajins, including the royal family. "
" Well, I suppose I should thank him then. " she smiled cruely. Vegeta glared, then continued.
" He is also the one who enslaved me and eventually killed me. " the ouji said darkly.
" ... "
" The first time. "
" OH! " Chi-Chi said, enlightened, then turned to Freezer and growled, " NO ONE IS GOING TO KILL THAT OUJI---not
until I'm done knocking his block off anyway! " she nodded, smiling. Freezer fell to the ground animé style.
" What a wonderfully LOYAL crew you've gotten yourself there, Bobo. " Freezer stepped towards the ouji, then turned
to Chi-Chi, " Did you know when my little Bobo was a child I had him perform circus tricks for me? He was quite entertaining
in his little clown costume juggling balls for me. "
Chi-Chi glanced over at Vegeta, who cringed at the memory. She looked at him, slightly worried, then shook it off.
" Yes, what a fun pet he made--until he got too big to fit into his costume anymore. A talented little juggler though
, just like your Go-chan will make one day. " he snickered evilly. Chi-Chi's eyes widened.
" WHY YOU!! " she shouted, " YOU-- "
" --DIE!!! " Vegeta screamed, going SSJ2. He flew at Freezer, who quickly dodged and pounded his fist against the
wall with a loud thump, causing a purple mist to decend from the ceiling.
" AHH! " Mirai yelled, " WHAT'S THAT! "
Vegeta quickly covered his nose and mouth just in time to see the others fall to the floor unconsious.
" Well, that was easy. " Freezer said, impressed.
" That's...cheating... " Vegeta snarled, his own vision beginning to get blurry. He felt himself going in and out of
consiousness.
" Yes, I'm afraid it is cheating isn't it, shame on me. " Freezer mocked as the ouji fell to his knees, drowsy, " But
don't worry, Bobo, you'll have plenty of time to see your *Kaka-chan* before you die. "
" You...... " Vegeta blacked out.
" Enjoy your trip to dreamland my little friend, but due be sure to wake up this time. I wouldn't want you to
disappoint your big buddy now, would I? "
" HmmhmmHMMhmmhmm! " Goku hummed to himself as he finished getting his tightrope walker costume on. He observed
himself in the mirror, " Heh-heh, lookin sharp!....it's a little tight though. " he pulled at the light blue body suit,
embarassed, " I don't think even Veggie's training uniform is THIS hip-hugging. " he grabbed the umbrella the ringmaster had
given him, " Alright Son-kun, you can do this! Hmm! " Goku nodded to himself in the mirror, then left his dressing room,
" Man this is tight! I hate tight clothes! " he whined, snapping at his sleeve. The saiyajin continued walking down the
hallway towards the door to the ring. He paused before the door, " That's strange, I don't hear anything. " he opened it,
then gasped, " AAUGH! WHERE ARE ALL THE PEOPLE! " Goku gawked.
" Oh, they had to leave, emergancy cancelations you know. "
The large saiyajin blinked, then turned to see the ringmaster standing in the one spotlight in the entire darkened
ring, " Mr. Ringmaster! I'm glad to see you! I got so worried there for a second. I thought something terrible happened. "
" Oh it already has. " the ringmaster chuckled, lifing up his hat, " Son Goku! "
" *GASP*! IT'S FREEZER! " Goku shrieked, then yelled, " WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE RINGMASTER!! "
Freezer sweatdropped, " I _AM_ the ringmaster you MORON! " he chucked his hat to the floor and stepped on it, " ARE
YOU REALLY AS DENSE AS YOU LOOK!! "
" ... "
" ... "
" Now where was I? " Freezer said, aggrivated, " Oh yes! The TERRIBLE THING! "
" What terrible thing? " Goku demanded.
Freezer snapped his fingers and another light shown next to him to reveal Mirai and Bura in a large cage, " Your
little friends missed you more than you had anticipated, Son Goku. "
" MIRAI! BURA! "
" But these two aren't who I have my eyes out for. They are merely a door prize. " he chuckled, " The real fun is
what's behind me! " he snapped his fingers again causing all the lights in the ring to lit up and reveal Vegeta and Chi-Chi,
both tied up and upside-down. They were hanging from opposite ends of the tightrope over two identical lava pits.
" KAKAY!! "
" GO-CHAN GET UP HERE AND HELP ME!!! "
" ... " Goku stared at them in shock.
" Aww, what's the matter? Worried your going to lose your two most precious companions? " Freezer said in a
baby-voice, mocking him. He laughed heartily, " Well don't worry, it's not nearly as bad as it seems. When the tight-rope
snaps they will both plummet into the lava. The rope tied around them is specially designed to repel ki and any attack that
might break common rope. However I will tell you this in your favor, you have just enough time to save one of them. The other
will fall to their doom. " Goku's eyes widened, " So, who's it gonna be? "
" I....YOU CAN'T MAKE ME DO THIS!! " Goku shouted at him.
" Do what? Make you chose between the two of them? You don't HAVE to choose you know. You can let them BOTH die if
you want. " Freezer cackled.
" NO!! " he grabbed the sides of his head.
" Go-chan! "
Goku looked up to see Chi-Chi smiling nervously at him, " Chi-chan? "
" Yes! It's Chi-chan. Listen, sweetie, the ouji can take care of himself, _I_ _CAN'T_! Because unlike him, I do not
possess the power to FLY! Besides, when you really think about it, I am the better choice. He's just a "little buddy".
You've had LOTS of little buddies in the past, but you only have ONE wife, ME! " she pleaded with him.
" I...suppose... " Goku said uneasily.
" KAKAY!!! " Goku turned to the figure hanging on the right side of the tightrope, " Kakay help me! " he sobbed.
" Little Veggie? "
" Hai. Kakarrotto-chan, you're little Veggie needs you to come up here so he can talk to you. " Vegeta fake-pouted.
Chi-Chi glared at him.
" DON'T YOU GO UP THERE GOKU! HE'S TRYING TO TRICK YOU INTO CHOOSING HIM!!! " Chi-Chi shrieked as Goku flew up to
where the upside-down ouji was hanging.
" What is it you want to tell me little buddy 'o mine? " Goku asked curiously.
" Kakay, you know how we're the last two saiyajins in existance? "
" Yeah? "
" And how much we mean to each other? "
" Yeah? "
" And how we've somehow been bonded together by those twisted fusion earrings for the rest of eternity? "
" *sniffle*, yeah? "
" Who's your little buddy? "
" YOU'RE MY LITTLE BUDDY!!! " Goku wailed, floating upside-down himself and hugging the ouji.
" All he did was just repeat what Bura said earlier. " Mirai sweatdropped from within the cage.
" I happen to be a brilliant speech writer, I can't help it if Toussan agrees with me. " Bura said proudly.
" You'd never leave your little buddy, would you Kaka-chan? " Vegeta said, mock-sniffling.
" Never Veggie! Never never NEVER!!! " Goku cried back, hugging tighter.
" Well why don't you cut me down then and we can beat up Freezer together; I get to finish him though; and after that
we'll send Bura and Mirai back home while I take you to this nice little resturant I know of near the edge of the Milky Way.
They even serve a few saiyajin dishes there I'm sure you'll like. " he said sneakily.
" Dinnertime with Veggie?... " Goku mused, imagining the two wildly stuffing their faces full of every food this yet
to be seen resturant had to offer.
" NO!! GO-CHAN! DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!!! THAT OUJI WANTS TO DO HORRIBLE TERRIBLE THINGS TO YOU!! WHY THE MOMENT HE GETS
YOU ALONE HE'LL---OH GOKU CHOOSE ME!!! " Chi-Chi exclaimed. Goku looked over at her.
" I forgot all about my Chi-chan. " he floated towards her.
" KAKARROTTO-CHAN! WHAT ABOUT ME!!! " Vegeta screamed.
" VEH--CHI--OHHHH!!! " Goku gulped, floating between them.
" Just choose one. It's a simple matter of who you love the most. The other gets fried. " Freezer shrugged, " What
could be simpler than that? "
" But....but I can't choose Veggie over Chi-chan or Chi-chan over Veggie. It's impossible. I won't win no matter WHO
I choose because I would lose one of them anyway! " Goku said bitterly. The lava began to bubble from the two pits, " And
they love me both the same so...I CHOOSE TO SAVE BOTH OF THEM!!! "
" WHAT?! " Freezer gawked, " YOU CAN'T DO THAT!! "
Goku turned to the two lava pits beneath him and sent two huge platforms of ki hurling down overtop of the pits,
covering them just as the ropes holding Vegeta and Chi-Chi snapped. The duo fell downwards and bounced off the ki platform
back into the air. Goku caught one in each hand and landed on the ground. He set them down and zappped the ropes around
Chi-Chi and Vegeta, frying them. The ropes dropped off their captives, " TA-DA! " he said in a sing-song voice, " I am a
very resourceful person! " Goku grinned happily.
" OH GO-CHAN! " Chi-Chi, tripped Vegeta to the floor as she ran to Goku and hugged him, " I knew you wouldn't let me
OR that EVIL LITTLE OUJI down! I love you sweetie! "
Goku blushed, giggling, " Aww, Chi-chan do you really mean it? "
" OF COURSE I DO!! And don't you think anything else! " she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Vegeta got up and dusted himself off, then walked over to the couple and pushed Chi-Chi to the side, " Aren't you
forgeting someone, lil Kakay-chan-chan? " he smiled in his sweetest voice.
" MY VEGGIE!!! " Goku squealed, grabbing the ouji and squeezing him tightly, " OOOOHHHHHHH MY LITTLE VEGGIE I WAS SO
SCARED I WAS GOING TO LOSE YOU AND CHI-CHAN FOREVER! "
" Heehee! But you were a smart lil Kakay and found a way to save us both at the same time! " Vegeta smiled at him.
" Yes I am! " Goku hugged back even tighter, " Oh my wonderful sweet little buddy! "
" *A-HEM*!! "
Goku glanced over at Mirai and Bura, who were still in the cage.
" Oh yeah! I almost forgot about you too! " Goku placed the ouji on his shoulders and piggy-backed over to where
Mirai, Bura, Freezer, and the cage were. He turned to Freezer, " Hey do you have the keys to that? "
" Hmm? Yeah, sure. " Freezer handed the keys to Goku without a problem. Vegeta sweatdropped. The large saiyajin
placed the keys in the hole to the cage and unlocked it, freeing them.
" HA! " Mirai shouted, pointing at Freezer. He whipped out his sword, " Now I'm going to kill you--AGAIN! "
" HEY! I WANNA KILL HIM THIS TIME! " Vegeta yelled, " I STILL HAVE TO AVENGE MY PLANET! "
" NO WAY OUJI BOY! IF THIS GUY HADN'T BEEN SO ROTTEN TO YOU YOU WOULDN'T HAVE FLEW OFF, LANDED ON EARTH AND DECIDED
TO STEAL MY GO-CHAN AWAY!!! " Chi-Chi argued.
" Hmm, maybe we should form a line. " Goku scratched his head, " But me first cuz he killed my Veggie! "
" You tell 'um Kakay! " Vegeta gave the larger saiyajin a squeeze from behind.
" DON'T YOU SQUEEZE HIM!! " Chi-Chi roared.
" I can squeeze Kakay anywhere I want because he enjoys it! " Vegeta said stubbornly.
" HE DOES NOT! THAT'S A LIE! "
" *RUMBLE*RUMBLE*!!! " the gang froze as the two lava pits began to shake in an attempt to burst through Goku's ki
blockers.
" She's gonna BLOW!!! " Mirai shrieked.
" Veggie quick! Get off I gotta carry Chi-chan! " Goku ordered him. The ouji reluctantly jumped off, " Come on
Chi-chan we've got to hurry!! " Goku said as he picked her up in his arms. Chi-Chi smiled, then blew a raspberry in Vegeta's
direction. The ouji glared back, then flew off, followed quickly by Mirai, " Ready to go Chi-chan? " Goku grinned at her.
" Anytime you want Son Goku! " she squeezed him affectionately. Goku backed up, then blasted off along with Chi-Chi
out of the ring.
Freezer stuck his tongue out, " Well, that wasn't very fun. " he said, then heard a low, maniacal growl behind him.
He turned around to see Bura snickering evilly at him.
" You're right, it wasn't fun. " Bura smirked, " Toying with Mr. Goten's Daddy's heart like that. And YOU killed my
poor Toussan? " she went ssj, " You're a bad bad man. " she took a step towards him. Freezer backed up as soon as she went
ssj, " You know what I do to bad guys who hurt my two favorite people in the whole wide world? "
" ...no? "
" I have "fun". " she grinned wickedly, then leapt at him with a ball of ki in hand, " AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! "
" And then I kicked his head around the ring like a soccer ball! " Bura said happily as they entire gang sat in the
spaceship.
" Aww B-chan! You make me proud to have fathered you! " Vegeta wiped a tear of joy from his eyes, then hugged her.
" Heeheeheehee! " Bura giggled.
" Hey! What about me! _I_ killed Freezer the FIRST time and all I got was "he's not a real saiyajin, he has purple
hair"! " Mirai snorted.
" Yes, but you destoryed him in one swoop, B-chan destoryed with the FLAIR of a true saiyajin warrior! " Vegeta
grinned.
" Yeah, a true saiyajin warrior who plays with dolls. " Mirai grumbled.
" I PLAY WITH POOKEE, DOES THAT MAKE _ME_ ANY LESS OF A WARRIOR!!! " Vegeta growled, holding up his stuffed teddy
bear.
" NO! No Toussan it's just, uhhh...heh-heh. " Mirai laughed nervously.
" Well I for one am glad we're all back together and safe. " Chi-Chi smiled, then glanced over at Vegeta, " Well,
I'm glad MOST of us are safe. "
" Neh! " Vegeta stuck out his tongue.
" And I got a pretty umbrella out of the deal! " Goku said, still in his tight-rope walker costume and spinning his
umbrella around.
" It's a shame we never got to see Mr. Goten's Daddy perform his beautiful tight-rope act. " Bura said sadly.
" That's alright Bura. I can show it too you when we get home! " Goku grinned, then turned to Chi-Chi, " How long IS
it until we get home? "
" A couple days, give or take. " Chi-Chi nodded, " Well, that's how long it took us to get here anyway. "
" I think your costume is VERY fitting, Kaka-chan. " Vegeta smiled, flattering the bigger saiyajin.
" Awwww, you think so little Veggie? " Goku said proudly. Chi-Chi sent a death-glare at the ouji, who only grinned
back at her.
" Absolutely Kakarrotto-chan! "
" Well then in that case you can have it! " Goku spat out, snapping the material on his shoulders again, " I can't
STAND this tight form-fitting stuff! Besides....this isn't my color at all. "
The rest of the group fell to the ground, animé style.
Vegeta laughed nervously, getting up, " Heh-heh-heh. " he regained his cool, " I don't think I'd mind taking that
outfit off your hands at all, Kakay. " the ouji's tail unknowingly crept up behind him and tightened itself around Goku's
neck.
Chi-Chi slapped Vegeta across the face, " WELL _I_ MIND!!! "
Goku laughed at the tail around his neck, " Chi-chan look! Veggie's tail is trying to choke me! " he paused suddenly,
" "veggie's tail"??? " he looked down to where the tail led and was astonished to find out it was the ouji, " Hmm, Veggie's
tail. Whadda ya know. We meet again. "
Chi-Chi took one look at what the tail, which was currently rubbing Goku's chin, and groaned, " Oh great, another
ouji appendage that's just as obsessive as he is. " she grabbed the tail and snapped it out from around Goku's neck,
" HERE! " she thrust it into Vegeta's hands, " Now keep it somewhere where it can't hurt Go-chan! "
" Hurt him? " Vegeta said, then smirked, " My tail doesn't want to HURT Kakay. It only wants what I want from him. "
" A HUG! " Goku cheered.
Vegeta sweatdropped, " No.... "
" To drink and be merry! "
" No. "
" To come fishin with me? "
" NO! "
Chi-Chi shook her head and groaned.
" You know Onna, " Vegeta snickered at her, " It's a good thing Earth doesn't have a moon anymore. Because if it did
I would transform and then squeeze your head open like a grape. "
" GOKU! GOKU DID YOU HEAR WHAT HE JUST SAID! HE'S MAKING THREATS TO ME! VIOLENT THREATS TO KILL ME!! GO-CHAN!!! "
Chi-Chi yelled at the saiyajin, who wasn't paying any attention.
" Hey Kakay, look out the window! " Vegeta pressed the larger saiyajin's face against the window, " Look at those
moons down there, aren't they pretty? " he said sneakily while looking away from the window himself.
" Moooooooooon...preeeeeettty moooo--*FWOOSH* YEOW!! " Goku screamed, grabbing his behind to find a similar furry
apendage had returned to it, " Look! I got my tail back too! Hi little taily! " he giggled, giving his tail a hug.
Vegeta grinned evilly at Chi-Chi, " Heh! "
" I hate you. "
" Well Mirai, it looks like everything is back to normal! " Bura chirped, then watched as Chi-Chi angrily chased
Vegeta around the ship, followed by the newly-tailed Goku, who was shouting for her to stop, " Almost... " she turned
to her brother, " Is that a good thing? "
" Heaven only knows. " Mirai said dryly, " ...and I sure hope so. "

THE END
Chuquita: You know I was thinking about extending this to a fourth chapter, but I didn't have enough material left to stuff
everything from Son finding out Freezer was behind it to the end of the story and still call it a whole chapter.
Goku: (bouncing up and down in his chair while his bubble-suit pops) Really?
Chuquita: Yeah. I had this big scene where Veggie goes Oozaru on Freezer and steps on him...but it's not happening.
Goku: (laughs) Not now anyway, the story's over.
Vegeta: Is that why I got my tail back?
Goku: And the reason the circus was on two moons?
Chuquita: Yup. You see I only plan these stories out to some degree. If you've read other ones we've done you can always spot
some idea that looks like it was supposed to be of importance later on but never re-surfaced. A lot of these fics start from
one scene that pops into my head and I sort of build the rest of the fic around it.
Goku: (grins) Like in a murder mystery!
Chuquita: Sorta. I read Toriyama himself starts out with the plotline first and then the characters...but I could never write
like that. Did you know he doesn't like Veggie?
Goku: *GASP*! That's TERRIBLE! [grabs Veggie & holds him] Poor little baby.
Vegeta: (glowing) Heh-heh-heh...
Chuquita: Yeah. His favorites are you and Piccolo. Akira's a big namek person. I guess that's why even later on in the series
when most of the stuff's about the saiyajins you still see Piccolo on the merchandise with them.
Goku: (remincing) Ahh, Piccy. My little buddy before Veggie, he lasted 6 years. He was good for fishing with, but not as
huggably soft as little Veggie is! [hugs Veggie]
Vegeta: (dazed) Whosa wha?...
Chuquita: Yeah. Then Veggie lasts for 22 years if you count the "room of spirit and time" as a year. Then you have Uubu.
Vegeta: (snaps out of his daze) (furious) UUBU! WHO THE HECK IS UUBU!
Chuquita: Well I can't say it for sure, but from what the end of the actual show and manga look like, it seems Uubu gets the
role at the very end when Son takes him off to train him.
Vegeta: (nervously jumps out of Son's arms) Wha, what do you mean!
Chuquita: Oh-kay, first of all, every little buddy was once some super-strong villian Son-kun faught, right? (looks at Goku)
Goku: (counting his fingers) Hmm. Kuririn, Tenshinhan, Piccolo, Veggie....yup!
Chuquita: And then Buu. Son wished for him to come back after he destroyed him so he could fight him again.
Goku: Just like Veggie!
Vegeta: (in a state of shock) "Just like Veggie..."
Chuquita: And then he deliberately makes Buu switch the cards so he can fight Uubu and when he does he taunts him a bit.
Goku: [looking at the manga] Haha! I called him a Poopyhead! (giggles) I gotta remember that one. POOPYHEAD!
Chuquita: And after they fight a bit he decides to go take him off to train. Even Piccolo says he hasn't seen Son this happy
in a long time.
Vegeta: (panic) What did I do! How did I offend you Kaka-chan? (sobs) HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO CARELESS!! (idea!) HA! I shall
destroy this "Uubu" before he gains Kakarrotto's affection! Thereby SAVING my title as Kakay's "cute little buddy" MUHAHAHA!
...[looks down at his bubble-briefs] But first I need to change out of this.
Chuquita: Sure. We're done with Bubble-day.
Goku: (frowns) Awwww, we ARE?
Chuquita: Yeah. Sorry Son.
Goku: (sniffling) But, but, but, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BUBBLES!!! (wails as all the bubbles on his suit instantly pop
simultaneously)
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Umm, you know what? If you make it over to the stand were you got those from you can keep as much
of the bubble-clothes as you want.
Goku: (beaming) I _CAN_! YAY! [dashes off]
Vegeta: [returns; no one is aware he had left; in his normal blue training outfit] Ahh, I feel like me again.
Chuquita: Where were you?
Vegeta: Let's just say if you find little "Uubu" down the well outside leave him there.
Chuquita: ...
Vegeta: No, really. He likes it in there. He's got a VCR and everything down there.
Chuquita: (not buying it) (groans) What have I done... (to audiance) (happily) Well, I guess that completes "Under The Big
Top". The next fic is the last one on my list of 8 ideas; the Corner's 2nd Piccy fic. It's called "Stupified". This time
Piccolo tries to take over the world by spreading a stupifying potion on the butterflies that float around Kami's lookout and
send them down to Earth to spread the potion and dum-down the planet, allowing him to take over. But what happens when the
potion makes Piccolo's new subjects so stupid they can't perform simple tasks for him?
Vegeta: (shudders) Every planet-ruler's nightmare...well, ONE of every planet-ruler's nightmares.
Chuquita: Since this is going to be a special, (a one-part mini-story), the next fan-review-requested Corner will return
in the story AFTER "Stupified". I'm going to have the Kami's Lookout gang here with me during that Corner instead. Of course
along with our saiyajin regulars.
Vegeta: (boastfully) Of COURSE.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) After that story I will list my next edition of story ideas.
Goku: YAY! [with bubble-clothes in his hands]
Chuquita: For some reason my last Piccolo-oriented story didn't get many reviews. (only 10..or 11..somewhere around there)
But I thought it was one of my best mini-fics. I even have that one on Lauryn's site and so far it's gotten 35 hits. So I
know it's good. I guess my humor differs slightly with Piccolo in the spotlight as opposed to Goku & Vegeta.
Vegeta: (smirks) Yes, the people love reading about ME on demand! MUCH MORE than the namek.
[Piccolo walks onstage and whacks Vegeta over the head with one of the stage lights]
Piccolo: (walks off laughing)
Vegeta: (falls down unconsious)
Goku: (staring down at Vegeta) Well he asked for it.
Chuquita: That he did. You and Veggie do have slightly larger roles in this Piccy fic than the last through.
Goku: (grins) Really?
Chuquita: You and the rest of the Z gang are part of Piccolo's stupified minnions.
Goku: YAY! I wanna be Piccy's head-chef!
Chuquita: But nameks don't eat.
Goku: ... (bursts into a grin) (happily) MORE FOOD FOR ME THEN!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) (to audiance) Well, cya next time everybody!
Goku: BYE!
Vegeta: (sits up; missing several front teeth) If anybody finds a tooth, it's mine.
Goku: Oops, I just think I stepped on one.
Vegeta: Rats.
