Quote of the Week: -from DUBZ
Son Goku: "I feel strong enough to take on 10 Vegetas!"
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Hello and welcome to Part 3!
Goku: (to Chu) You know, I don't think the world would be a safe place with 10 Veggies.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) I don't think the world's a safe place with just ONE of him.
Goku: (giggles) Heeheehee.
Chuquita: (to audiance) Hi, if you're just joining us Son-San and I here are going through Veggie's Earth clothes.
Goku: (grins) Such as his Bad Man golfing shirt! [holds the infamous pink shirt up; then coughs due to the dust it has
collected]
Chuquita: (wafts the dust away from her face) Bleh! When's the last time he wore that thing anyway!
Goku: Probably not since we met Mirai. Veggie doesn't golf much anyways.
Chuquita: He doesn't golf at all.
Goku: ....good point! (smiles)
Vegeta: [kicks open the door leading from his control room back into his bedroom] GET KAKARROTTO OUT OF MY CLOTHES DRAWERS!!
(angrily shakes his fist at them)
Goku: (blinks) (unfazed) (to Chu) You know I went golfing once, I didn't like it much through.
Chuquita: Really?
Goku: Yeah, I kept breaking those golf sticks and after I drove the golf-cart into the sandtrap Chi-chan and I almost drowned
until they had those rescue workers from the fire department next door come and get us out.
Vegeta: (pouty mad) AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO ME!!!
Goku: Aww, poor Veggie, [knocks him to the ground] little Veggie sit down with us!
Vegeta: (mutters something incoherently; obviously still mad at the loss of his Saiya-garden)
Goku: ..so? Veggie?
Vegeta: ?
Goku: Can I keep these pants! (grins cheesily) [holds up Veggie's also infamous yellow pants]
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) (groans) You know what, Kakarrot? Sure, go ahead, keep them.
Goku: YAY! [hugs the pants]
Vegeta: (to Chu) I don't wear those things anymore anyway...(confused) Waitaminute? Kakarrotto how do you plan to wear those
things anyway! You're a whole 3 pants sizes bigger than I am!!!
Goku: (laughs) Aww Veggie, I don't plan to wear them on my butt! [puts the pants upsided-down on his head so it looks like an
odd version of the "Cat in the Hat's" hat] Not when they make such a snazzy hat! [pats his "hat"]
Vegeta: ... [thunks his head down onto the floor]
Chuquita: (trying to stifle her laughter at Son's newest appearance) Yes, Son-kun. It is indeed very "snazzy".
Goku: I'm glad you agree, Chu-sama! (nods happily)
Vegeta: (groans)
Chuquita: So, Veggie? Boxers or briefs?
Vegeta: (falls backward in shock) WHA--WHAT?!
Chuquita: Boxers or briefs?
Vegeta: (bites his lip) Briefs, if you must know.
Goku: (to Chu) Is he just saying that to stay on Bulma's good side cuz her last name is briefs or does he really mean it?
Vegeta: OF COURSE I MEAN IT! Hmmph! [folds his arms grumpily]
Goku: I'm a boxers man myself! (happily) I have a pair with smiley faces on 'um, and I have a pair of blue ones and a pair
of red ones and one with circus animals on it and one that reads "Big Buddy" on it and a pair with cows on it that moos when
you press the little button on the side of it's leg--
[Chu & Veggie stare at him, then simultaneously sweatdrop]
Goku: ...what?
Vegeta: (to both of them) You weren't shuffling IN my underwear drawer, were you?
Chuquita: Nope.
Goku: Heeheehee.
Vegeta: (turns a pale green) What does "heeheehee" mean?
Goku: Maaaaaayyyyyybe? [glances at something behind his back]
Vegeta: (at Chu) YOU LET HIM IN MY UNDERWEAR DRAWER!!!! ARE YOU MAD!!!
Chuquita: No, but you're starting to look a little frustrated on your own.
Vegeta: ERRR!!!
Goku: VeggieVeggie lookit what I found! [holds up a little pair of silk pink undies]
Vegeta: (shrieks) AHH! LET GO OF THAT RIGHT NOW!!! [rips it out of his hands and stuffs it back in his underwear drawer]
*WHEW*! (to Son) Anymore "surprises" in store for me, Kakarrotto?
Goku: Hmm...nope! (grins)
Vegeta: (mutters) Thank God.
Goku: (sneakily) Except for--
Vegeta: (gulps nervously)
Goku: --THESE! [holds out nothing more than his empty hands]
Vegeta: [falls to the ground animé style]
Goku: Heeheeheehee! (sing-song) I tricked Veh-gee!
Vegeta: (glares at him) (mumbles) Stupid....surprises...*grumble*grumble*
Chuquita: On with Part 3 everybody!
Summary: Saiyaman and Saiyagirl. They can beat anybody..right? According to Chi-Chi they can. After watching her boastful
interview our favorite ouji's out to prove her wrong. What happens when Veggie decides to create a supervillain squad
composed of himself and Goku? Will Saiyaman and Saiyagirl save Gohan's "kidnapped" mother and younger brother? Will Videl
ever get that funky smell out of her helmet?
Vegeta: There wasn't any REAL surprise, was there, Kakarrotto?
Goku: (grins) Nope!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Yeah, that's what I thought...
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Veggie, I'm starting to get really worried about Chi-chan. " Goku said as he nervously waved his hand infront of
Chi-Chi's unflinching face.
" She's still breathing isn't she? " Vegeta asked, slightly ticked.
" Well, yeah..I think so. " Goku trailed off.
" Then she's fine! " he shrugged, walking over to the larger saiyajin.
" Muh--maybe I should get a napkin and wipe some of that foamy spit away from her mouth before she drowns in it. "
Goku gulped.
" WHAT!? Kakarrotto I already told you! Onna's oh-kay! Besides, evil villains do NOT wipe the spit away from their
captives!!! " Vegeta exclaimed, " Your brother didn't make an attempt to help your son get comfortable when HE kidnapped HIM,
DID HE?? "
" Uhh, I wouldn't know. I wasn't really there at the time. " Goku scratched his head.
" Oh?...Eh, forget it. I never liked your brother anyway. He was a pessimist, a jerk, and he thought I was a spoiled
brat desperately in need of a hobby. " the ouji stubbornly folded his arms.
" ...Veggie likes ME though, right? " Goku glanced over at him sadly.
" Huh? OF COURSE I LIKE YOU WHAT WOULD POSSIBLY CAUSE YOU TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE!! " Vegeta panicly waved his arms in
the air.
" Nothin. Just asking. " the bigger saiyajin shrugged casually. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Say, Kakarrotto, you know since your spawn and his so-called sidekick will eventually find Onna and Goten here, why
don't we just ditch this place and find another hideout! " Vegeta said cheerfully.
Goku gasped, " Veggie are you crazy! We can't just leave Chi-chan here! She's practically defenseless all tied up and
half-consious and all! "
" So? We're "bad guys", we can do that! THAT'S THE POINT!! "
" No it's not! Little Veggie you name one movie or news article you've seen where the villains just leave their
victims for no good reason and run off somewhere because one of them feels like it! " Goku narrowed his eyes at the prince.
" ...umm, oh-kay. SO I DON'T HAVE AN EXAMPLE! "
" Ha! I rest my case! " Goku nodded happily.
" Very well, Kakarrotto. If you're going to be that way we'll just move to "pretend evil villains" phase 2. " Vegeta
nodded.
" Phase 2? " the larger saiyajin cocked his head to the right, confused.
" Kakarrotto I want you to untie Goten and both follow me, we're going to pay a phone call to our friendly
neighborhood superheroes. " the ouji smirked, walking to a nearby telephone.
" *gasp-of-joy* You mean Super Weenie and his batch of Wonder Dachshunds!! " Goku grinned widely.
" ... " Vegeta stared at him blankly, " Uhh, no. "
" Awww. " Goku pouted.
" I meant Saiyaman and Saiyagirl! "
" YAY! " Goku cheered, then glanced down at Goten, " I like them too. "
Goten nodded in agreement, then paused as Vegeta dialed a number and handed him the phone.
" Alright kid, now when your brother picks up I want you to read off these cue-cards, oh-kay? "
" K! " Goten nodded happily.
" AND NOT IN THAT FAKE CUE-CARD READING VOICE EITHER!! I want you to speak as if you actually mean what you are
reading, got it? " Vegeta warned him.
Goten gave him a thumbs-up sign, " You got it, Uncle Veggie! " he made a Son grin.
Vegeta briefly looked up at Goku, who had the same expression on his face. The ouji groaned, " Some people shouldn't
be allowed to reproduce. "
" ZZzzzzZZzzzZZzzz... "
" *RING RING RING!!* "
" --BUTTERSCOTCH! 53! PI ARE SQUARED!!! " Gohan bolted awake with a start. He looked around, dazed. Then, noticing
the Saiyamobile's car-phone was ringing, picked it up, " He--hello? You have reached the Saiyateam. If you wish to speak to
Saiyaman, press 1. If you wish to speak to Saiyagirl-- " he glanced over at Videl, who was still fast asleep at the
dashboard and now slightly drooling, " --press 2. If you wish to report a wrong-doing, press 3. "
" GOHAN!! "
" Goten?! " he gawked at the panicking voice, " Where are you? Are you oh-kay? How's Kaasan? "
" Oh big brother it was horrible! I was a-ble to e..ee.. "
" Escape! " a voice whispered loudly in the backround.
" Escape. I was able to escape to a small closet but Mom was not as lucky. "
Gohan's eyes widened, " What??! Where is she, is she hurt? Is she still alive? Is she--- "
" Kaasan is dangling upside-down above a giganteric... "
" GIGANTIC!! " the other voice whispered again, more annoyed this time.
" Goten is there someone there with you? " Gohan asked, confused.
" Huh? No. That--that's just my shoe...yup. My talking shoe. " he laughed nervously.
Vegeta rolled his eyes, " Aww for crying out loud, a talking sh--YEOW! " he cried as Goten kicked him in the jaw.
" Shh! Quiet talking shoe I'm busy having a conversation with my brother who is coming to rescue us. " Goten said
into the phone. Vegeta twitched angrily at the boot now slightly lodged in his mouth. Goku let out a few muffled giggles at
the scene.
" Oh...talking shoe. Oh-kay. I suppose. " Gohan scratched his head.
" Anyways, " Goten went back to reading off the cue-cards, " Kaasan is dangling upside-down above a giganTIC-- " he
grinned at the ouji, proud of his correct pronounciation, " --pool of BOILING OIL! "
" WHAT?! " Gohan shrieked.
" And Toussan and Uncle Veggie are slowly lowering her down into it via a--a--rope-dangling system. " Goten squinted
to read the cue-card.
" AHH! GOTEN YOU'VE GOT TO STOP THEM!!! " Gohan shrieked, " I don't think we'll be able to get there in time! " he
gulped at the large line of cars infront of the Saiyamobile on the road.
" Umm, that's alright. You'll make it. " Goten encouraged him.
" But this could take us up to FOUR HOURS! "
" ...they're lowing her slowly. "
" Slowly? "
" Uh, yeah. Very very slowly. Like, one inch every half-hour slowly. " Goten put his hands behind his head. Goku
snickered in the backround.
" ... "
" ... "
" You're just making this up as you're going along, aren't you Goten? " Gohan said flatly.
" I AM NOT!.....actually, I read most of it off of the cue-card Uncle Veggie's holding for me. "
" ... "
" ... "
" He's holding up cue-cards for you? " Gohan sweatdropped.
" Yup! "
" But if he's holding the cue-cards then Kaasan isn't hanging over a pool of boiling oil? " a look of relief covered
his face.
" She will be. " a new voice snickered evilly.
" THE MASKED AVENGER! " Gohan gawked.
" Saiyaman. " Vegeta casually replied, " To tell the truth, Kakay's tieing up Onna as we speak. " he glanced over at
the larger saiyajin, who grinned at him.
" WHAT! TOUSSAN WOULD NEVER-- "
" --Zanahoria would. "
" ...who? "
" Zanahoria. " Vegeta folded his arms, " Kakarrotto translated into spanish. It's his new sidekick name. "
" I didn't know you could translate saiyajinese into spanish. " Gohan said, impressed.
" Hmm? Oh, you can't. I just translated the word carrot and Zazanahoria would just sound stupid. " the ouji shrugged.
" Really? Hmm....BUT WHY WOULD HE HELP YOU! TOUSSAN LOVES KAASAN! HE WOULD NEVER JOIN YOUR SIDE OF EVIL-NESS, YOU
VILLAIN!! " Gohan shouted.
" Oh, yes, that. Kakarotto's under the silly impression that the whole city along with Onna, Goten, you two, and
myself are playing a big game of "let's pretend" with him. We're the "pretend" villains, Onna and Goten are the "pretend"
victims, and you and your Chi-Chi-ish sidekick are the "pretend" heroes. " Vegeta mocked, " Amazing how utterly naive Kakay
is when you really think about it. "
" He won't let you get far enough to lower Kaasan into a pot of REAL boiling oil! " Gohan scoffed, " Toussan DOES
have his strong points! "
" Hai, and believing every little word that comes out of my mouth is one of them. " Vegeta smirked, " HEY KAH-KEE,
HOW'S THAT "PRETEND" BOILING OIL COMING ALONG? "
" It's great, little Veggie! " Goku shouted back happily, now standing at the top of a very tall ladder mixing a huge
vat full of boiling oil with a giant wooden spoon.
" ... " Gohan sweatdropped, then slapped himself on the forehead, " OH! "
" Tsk tsk tsk, you know, Saiyaman. If I had known Kakarrotto's naivity could be so easily manipulated I would have
gotten this whole mess done and over with YEARS ago! " Vegeta chuckled.
" WELL I'M NOT ABOUT TO LET YOU GET AWAY WITH IT NOW! " Gohan said angrily.
" ... "
" ... "
" How much time do we have left? "
Vegeta looked at his watch, " Oh, about 2 hours, give or take a few minutes. "
Gohan shrieked, " TWO HOURS?! "
" Yes. It all depends upon how willing Kakarrotto is to letting me dunk Onna in the "pretend" oil. " Vegeta smiled at
Goku, who waved back to him, " Haha. He just waved to me. Hello, Kakarrotto! " the ouji waved back. Goku laughed at him.
" *click*. " Gohan hung up. Vegeta looked down at the phone and blinked, then hung up as well.
" Two hours... " Gohan muttered in shock as he let his hands fall from the wheel, " We don't have two hours! Kaasan
will be dead and it'll be all my FAULT! " he slammed his fist down on the control panel, then yelped and jumped back in his
seat as the Mexican hat dance started to play loudly throughout the car and balloons and streamers magically appeared
floating down from the ceiling. Gohan's jaw fell to the ground. Videl groaned at the loud noise, waking up. When she saw the
scene she instantly bolted to attention, glancing around in surprise. She looked over at Gohan like he had just sprouted
another eyeball. Gohan laughed nervously.
" Heh-heh-heh-heh....don't ask. " he put his hand behind his head a la Son style.
" Believe me, I won't. " Videl scratched her head, then gawked to see their car still hadn't moved from its spot on
the road since she fell asleep, " AHH! " she clasped her hands over her mouth, " This is not good. "
" You wanna know what's even worse? " Gohan looked at her pitifully.
" What? " she asked slowly.
" Vegeta's planning to fry Kaasan in 2 hours. "
" WHAT?! " Videl screamed.
Gohan cringed, plugging his ears, " Please...not so loud.. "
" ARE YOU CRAZY! WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT THERE IN TWO HOURS! NOT WITH ALL THIS--TRAFFIC! AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED
ON HOW WE'RE SUPPOSED TO _FIND_ THE PLACE! "
" Yeah, I guess I should have asked Vegeta that when I was talking to him on the phone. " Gohan mumbled.
" You were TALKING to him? WHEN!? "
" Just now. " Gohan replied, " Apparently he's the only ACTUAL bad guy. "
" What do you mean? "
" *sigh*. Vegeta tricked Toussan into thinking this is all a big game of "let's pretend". " he shook his head.
Videl groaned, " Why am I not surprised. "
" Ohhh, this is all my fault! I should've watched Toussan more closely! " Gohan sat back in his chair.
" No, it's my fault for pointing out to him where Vegeta was when he asked for him to come "play pretend". " Videl
said, turning to him.
Gohan bolted to attention, " YOU DID WHAT?! "
She bit her lip, " Well, I was still angry from fighting that monster earlier downtown...and after Vegeta
misprounounced my superhero name and started babbling on about "Kaka-land" I just couldn't help but want to get rid of him
SOMEHOW! And having Mr. Son call him out of the room just seemed like the perfect opportunity to-- "
" --get some personal time. " Gohan finished for her.
" Yeah. " Videl sighed, " Listen Gohan, I am so sorry. I had NO IDEA Vegeta was going to concoct some psychotic plan
to kidnap and confuse your family just because he spent, what, 10 minutes alone in the same room with Mr. Son! "
" You don't know him very well do you? " Gohan said flatly.
" No, not really. "
He sighed, " Yeah, that's what I thought. "
The duo sat in silence for a moment, trying to figure out what to do next.
" I don't suppose there's a way we can just fly off in this thing, is there? " Videl said to him, the look on her
face reading she had run out of ideas.
" Actually, now that you mention it... " Gohan trailed off, rubbing his chin.
" HA! THAT'S GREAT! " Videl clasped her hands together, " Let's get going then! "
" Are you sure? I mean, it's much faster than your helicopter and we'd pull about 6 G's once we it our maximum speed
and what about all those harmless birds in the air, what if we were to HIT one by mistake and-- "
" Gohan, just do it. " she cut him short. He nodded.
" Oh-kay. " Gohan grabbed the gear shift inbetween them and pushed it forward.
" ... "
" ... "
" Hey, nothing's happening. " Videl blinked, then peered out the window and smiled to see the car slowly levitating
off the ground, " HAHA! GOHAN LOOK! IT'S WORKING! "
" Umm, Videl? "
" I KNEW this stupid car must be good for something if you wanted to hold onto it so badly! "
" Videl? "
" WHAT, Gohan? " she asked, slightly annoyed.
" Uh, I think you should pull your head back inside the car. "
" Why? "
" Well...it goes very very fast. "
" How fast we talkin? "
" Probably abou--WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! "
" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! "
" Ohhhhh... " Chi-Chi groaned, everything blurry infront of her.
" Aww, Veggie look! Chi-chan is waking up! " Goku's voice said around her. Chi-Chi shook her head as her vision
adjusted back to normal just as something grabbed her from infront and hugged her, " HOORAY! "
" Huh?--Go--Go-chan? " Chi-Chi looked up at the hugging fiend.
" Hello to you too Chi-chan! " he said happily, giggling at her.
" ... " Chi-Chi looked around for a moment, " Goku is it just me or does this room feel weird to you? "
" Of COURSE it feels "weird", Chi-Chi. We're hanging upside-down! " Goku grinned, then paused, " Well, actually
you're the only one who's truely hanging upside-down. I'm just latching onto you for hugging comfort. "
" Upside-do---what do you MEAN upside-down!? " she demanded. Goku pointed up, or rather down. Below them was a giant
pot of boiling oil. Chi-Chi gazed what to her was upward and shrieked, " AHHHH!!! GOKU! UNTIE ME! UNTIE ME NOW!! " she swung
them back and forth on the rope she was tied from, then stopped, " NO! DON'T UNTIE ME BECAUSE THEN I'LL FALL IN!!! "
" UNTIE HER KAKAY! DO IT! DO IT NOW!! " Vegeta cheered from the sidelines. Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes and growled at
the Ouji, who was standing on a platform above the vat of boiling oil. above him was the end of a piece of rope that when
followed through a system of pulleys and levers ended at the exact same rope that tied around Chi-Chi and keeping her from
falling into the pot.
" Silly Veggie! You know it's not time to 'knock her off' just yet! " Goku said, then winked at Chi-Chi, who's eyes
widened.
" Goku? "
" Hmm? "
" Goku why did you just wink at me? " Chi-Chi said, surprised and curious at the same time.
" Heeheehee. Chi-chan is such a good actress. " Goku giggled, then whispered to her, " Don't worry, you won't have to
hang there for long. As soon as the Saiyateam gets here we're going to put up a pretend fight and they're going to save you
from your pretend impending doom! "
" ...waitaminute. Pretend? " Chi-Chi looked at him like he was speaking a foreign language.
" Yeah, you know, "play pretend". The game we've been playing the whole morning. " Goku answered, surprised.
" Goku I'm not pretending. " Chi-Chi shook her head seriously.
The large saiyajin's face turned a pale green, " You're...not playing? "
" Nope. "
" You, you mean you didn't know about the whole city-wide game of play pretend me-n-Veggie have been part of? " Goku
gawked.
" THERE _IS_ _NO_ CITY-WIDE GAME OF "PLAY PRETEND", GOKU!!! THIS IS REAL!!! THAT STUPID OUJI TRICKED YOU--AGAIN!!! "
she yelled at him.
Goku covered his mouth with his hands, then glanced over at Vegeta in shock, " Little Veggie is LYING to me? "
" Oh Kakay Kakay Kakay, now WHY would I lie to you. " Vegeta said, pulling Goku away from his hug with Chi-Chi, " I'm
you're little buddy! Remember? "
" WHERE'S GOTEN, OUJI!! " Chi-Chi snapped at him.
" Hmm? OH! The little kaka-spawn. He's over there. " Vegeta casually pointed past the boiling oil. Goten was on the
other side of the room waving to them while chewing a piece of bubblegum, " We're planning on handing him over to "Saiyaman"
as a ransom. YOU, on the other hand. Well, you'll be lucky if you'll be worth ANYTHING once we're done boiling your evil onna
brains out. " he smirked.
" ... " Chi-Chi stared at them both, frozen. Vegeta flew himself and Goku back to the platform. Goku watching her
nervously and beginning to believe her.
" Kakay? Are you alright, Kaka-chan? " Vegeta smirked at the bigger saiyajin. Goku looked down at him pleadingly.
" Little Veggie you better not hurt my Chi-chan. " he said, worried, " You better not be playing a trick on me.
Because if you are it's a horrible trick. And you are a horrible person. "
Vegeta gulped, cold sweat trickling down his forehead, " Heh-heh. Now why would I trick you like that, Kakarrotto? "
Goku squinted at him, as if trying to process some bit of information way above his intelligence level, " Be--because
you want..you want to take me away from....from Chi-Chi? "
The ouji's jaw fell wide open. Chi-Chi smiled warmly at Goku and sighed with relief.
" Oh thank GOD!...he got it. He finally got it! " she said with joy and shock, " HAHA! TAKE THAT OUJI!! "
" But, my little Veggie would never do such a thing, would you? " Goku bent down to Vegeta's height, trying not to
believe the smaller saiyajin was capable of it.
" Nuh, no Kakarrotto. I'm not going to kill Onna. It's all PRETEND. " Vegeta laughed nervously, trying to reassure
him.
" If it's all pretend how come Chi-chan didn't know about it. " Goku said quickly.
" Because... " Vegeta bit his lip, " She didn't. "
" What?! " both Chi-Chi and Goku said in unison.
" Fact is, Kakarrotto, the only people who knew about this city-wide game of play pretend where only the people who
were living or in the city at the time of it's, err, notification! " Vegeta grinned. The fear instantly disappeared from
Goku's face. Chi-Chi groaned and sweatdropped.
" OHHH! I get it! And since Chi-chan wasn't in the city-- "
" --she didn't know about the game. " Vegeta finished, then yelped as Goku picked him up and gave him a hug.
" Oh! My little buddy is so clever! " Goku laughed, swinging the ouji back and forth. Chi-Chi sent death glares at
Vegeta, who's face was now glowing bright red. Goku set him down but held onto his arms to keep Vegeta from wobbling off into
the vat of oil, " Chi-chan Veggie is sorry for not informing you sooner! " he grinned, " No need to worry Chi-chan for you
are only in pretend danger. "
Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " And that's a GOOD thing? "
Goku grinned even wider, " Yes it is! "
" Kakay's right, Onna. " Vegeta grinned, " You're not going die. And even if you do it'll only be a "pretend" death."
he smirked evilly.
" Oh, yeah, right. And I suppose you'll be wishing me back with the "pretend" dragonballs. " she said skeptically,
" GO-CHAN HELP!!! HELP ME!! DON'T YOU LISTEN TO HIM HE'S MAKING STUFF UP INSIDE HIS TWISTED OUJI HEAD TO GET YOU TO THINK I'M
NOT IN DANGER! WELL I _AM_ IN DANGER GOKU! AND IN PAIN! IT IS PAINFUL DANGER!!! "
" Or dangerously painful. " Vegeta chuckled while examining his gloves. The ouji gasped as he bolted to attention,
" Kakarrotto! " he turned to the larger saiyajin.
" Yes Veggie? "
" Kakay I want you to hide behind the pot of boiling oil and fly up onto the platform where I'm standing once I give
the signal. Got it? " he ordered.
" I have got it little Veggie! " Goku grinned, ducking behind the pot.
Goten finished his bubble-gum and spat it out, " What about me, Uncle Veggie? What'll I do? " he called up to him.
Vegeta chucked another piece of bubble-gum at Goten, who caught it, " HAVE SOME MORE GUM AND ANSWER THE DOOR FOR YOUR
BROTHER ONCE HE GETS HERE! "
" YAY! " Goten squealed, then chewed the piece of gum and blew a bubble. He snapped the bubble off his mouth and
twisted it in different contortions until it was now in the shape of a doggy balloon they would make at the circus. He
grinned up at Chi-Chi and Vegeta, " Heehee, woof woof! " Goten laughed, then yelped as he lost his grip on the balloon,
causing it to float upward until it got lodged in the ceiling bars, " Uh-oh... "
Chi-Chi and Vegeta stared up at the gigantic bubble-gum dog in awe.
" Wow, Onna. When did you teach him how to do THAT! " Vegeta gawked.
Chi-Chi looked equally surprised, " I didn't. "
Gohan and Videl sat in the Saiyamobile infront of the factory, both completely windblown and looking in the state of
shock one would be in after driving a 7 hour distance in 2 minutes.
" Are we...here? " Videl said, her eyes bulging out of their sockets.
" Are we still alive? " Gohan's bottom eye-lid fidgeted, his nerves shot.
" I...think so? " she looked over at him. The duo grinned.
" WE'RE ALIVE!! " they grabbed each other and hugged tightly.
" Oh I thought we were goners for sure that time! " Gohan sobbed happily.
" Me too! " Videl responded, then gasped, " OH! YOUR FAMILY! WE'VE GOT TO SAVE THEM! " she let go of the now-blushing
Gohan and kicked open the car door, " Come on! Let's go! " Videl said, determined. She paused and glanced back at him. Gohan
was now laughing in a nervous tone; still blushing.
" Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh- "
" Oh give me a break. " Videl groaned, smacking herself on the forehead. She ran around to Gohan's side of the car
and yanked him out, " HURRY UP GOHAN! WE ONLY HAVE 5 MINUTES LEFT TO SAVE YOUR MOM AND YOUR BROTHER!!! "
" FIVE MINUTES?! " Gohan gawked, snapping out of it.
" That's better. " Videl smiled and nodded at him.
" OH NO! WE _DO_ ONLY HAVE FIVE MINUTES! " he cried, getting a look at his watch, " Hmm, I guess we'll have to cut
the intro a little short then. "
" Ugh, FORGET THE INTRO! " Videl shouted, then ran for the door. Gohan paused for a minute.
" HEY! WAIT FOR ME!!! "
" *KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*!!! "
" They're here! " Vegeta grinned, then snickered maniacally, " Perfect. " he grabbed ahold of the rope that
eventually led to around Chi-Chi's waist and arms.
" *KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*!!! "
" ...GOTEN!! " Vegeta screamed.
" Huh-what-chicken? " Goten sat up, yawning. He had fallen asleep.
" GOTEN! GET THE DOOR! " the ouji snapped at him.
" Hmm? Oh. Oh-kay Uncle Veggie. " he smiled, then opened the door a crack, " HellOOO? "
" Goten, quick! Let us in! " Gohan said anxiously. The youngest saiyajin closed the door on his face.
Gohan sweatdropped, " Goten, let me in. "
" I'm sorry Saiyaman, but The Masked Avenger says I'm only allowed to open this door for my brother. " he nodded
thoughtfully.
" I _AM_ YOUR BROTHER!!! " Gohan kicked open the door and ripped the helmet off his head.
" Heeheehee. Use the force, Luke. " Goten giggled at him as he stomped by.
" I swear, you're hanging out with Trunks way too much. " Gohan grumbled as he made his way towards the other side
of the room.
" Watch out for booby traps big brother! " Goten called out to him, " See! I'm not like Trunks because Trunks
wouldn't have warned you about the attack tigers! "
" ATTACK TIGERS?! " Gohan instantly froze, waiting for something to attack.
" Yeah, of course he probably wouldn't have to warn you about the attack tigers seeing as there aren't any. " Goten
shrugged. Gohan slapped himself in the face, mortified.
" Goten? Quick! Get in the car! " Videl said, stepping into the room and noticing him on entry.
" Goten quick this. Goten quick that. Ev-er-ree body seems to be in such a hurry and I don't know why. " he shook his
head, confused.
" JUST GET IN THE CAR!! " Videl shrieked, " GET IN THE CAR OR YOU'LL DIE!! "
" Die? " Goten blinked, then grinned, certain this was part of the game, " You got it soon-to-be big sister! " he
winked at her, then ran out of the room screaming like a banshee, " WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! "
" Is he safe in the car? " Gohan asked her.
" Yup. " Videl nodded.
" ALRIGHT THEN! " Gohan turned towards where Vegeta was standing, " MASKED AVENGER! " he shouted in his superhero
tone of voice as a spotlight instantly shown on himself and Videl. Everything around them went dark except for a mini-light
hanging over Vegeta's head. The ouji sweatdropped, " PREPARE YOURSELF--LIGHT OF DARKNESS! "
Videl continued, the duo now back to back, " TO BE COOLED OFF-- "
" --BY A DOUBLE-SCOOP OF RIGHTEOUSNESS! " the two heroes then went into several saiya-poses, only to wind up with
Gohan standing on his head with his legs straight out. Videl was standing on the heels of his feet, right-side-up.
" THE SAIYATEAM!! " they both shouted at once. Several streamers and confetti flew down out of nowhere as the lights
quickly turned back on. Vegeta stared at them, disturbed.
" Wow. I think I just had a flashback to the Ginyu Force. " he muttered, then shook his head, " All that pointless
posing, yuck. "
Gohan and Videl zipped back to their positions on the ground, " HA! " Gohan shouted, " HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT! "
Vegeta called back to him, " DO YOU TWO KNOW HOW STUPID YOU LOOKED JUST NOW? "
" YES, YES WE DO! " Videl said, Gohan face-faulted, " BUT THAT WON'T STOP US FROM DEFEATING YOU AND SAVING GOHAN'S
FAMILY! "
" Really? " Vegeta smirked, interested as he formed a small beam out of ki and held it towards the rope Chi-Chi was
hanging from.
" AHH! OUJI DON'T!! " Chi-Chi shrieked.
" KAASAN!! " Gohan gasped.
" That's right, boy. "Kaasan". " Vegeta cackled, " I suppose you COULD manage to save her. You've still got a full 3
minutes left. " he glanced at his watch. Gohan growled at him, " However, there are SOME family members that are beyond
rescue. " Gohan blinked at him. Vegeta cocked his head over his shoulder, " KAKAY! "
" YAH! " Goku lept out from behind the pot and teleported behind Gohan and Videl, then grabbed each of them by the
neck and got the duo in two seperate headlocks.
" TA--TOUSSAN! " Gohan choked out.
" Two for the price of one little Veggie! " Goku grinned up at him.
Vegeta grinned back at the larger saiyajin, pleased. He then turned to the Saiyateam, " Well Saiyaman, you've run out
of time, Onna's about to be fried in boiling oil, and Kakay has joined the my side of evil. I'd say you pretty much lost all
around. " he chuckled, then whipped out the small beam of ki into one 4 times its size and sliced the rope holding Chi-Chi
up, " SAY GOODBYE TO ONNA!!! "
" KAASAN!! "
" CHI-CHI! " Goku shrieked, pushing Gohan and Videl aside just as a large splash was heard inside the pot. Vegeta
stood upon the platform laughing maniacally, " WHY YOU LITTLE MEANIE!!! " Goku tackled the ouji to the ground, " HOW DARE YOU
DO THAT TO MY CHI-CHAN YOU TRICKED ME YOU LIEING LITTLE TRICKING VEGGIE!!! " he repeatedly slammed Vegeta's head down upon
the platform, " HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A THING! AND I _TRUSTED_ YOU! " he cried into Vegeta's shirt, " YOU DISGUST ME!! "
" YUCK! "
" Yeah! You tell 'um Chi-chan! " Goku sniffled, then did a double-take, " CHI-CHAN! " he squealed, zipping over to
the platform's edge and peering down to see Chi-Chi now floating in the liquid, seemingly unharmed except for the fact that
she was now drenched in the yellow liquid, " CHI-CHI! YOU'RE ALIVE!! "
" GOKU! IT'S BUTTER! " she squrimed, sickened.
" Butter? " Goku glanced over at Vegeta, surprised.
" "Pretend" boiling oil. " Vegeta said proudly, " Remember, PRETEND. The game we were playing? " he cocked an
eyebrow.
Goku looked down at Chi-Chi with happiness, then back at the ouji, " Oh VEGGIE! YOU DESERVE A BIG 'OL SLOPPY WET KISS
JUST FOR BEING SUCH A SNEAKY LIL OUJI! "
" DON'T YOU DARE!!! " Chi-Chi screamed from inside the vat of liquid butter. Goku froze, then sweatdropped.
" Or, maybe a hug? "
" NO! "
" A handshake? " Goku glanced down at Chi-Chi, waiting for permission.
" ...ONE handshake. AND TIME YOURSELF! NO MORE THAN 3 SECONDS!!! "
" But Chi-Chi that's not nearly enough ti-- "
" THREE SECONDS! ONLY! "
Goku sighed, " Fine. Here Veggie, take my hand. "
" DON'T SAY THAT!!! "
Both Goku and Vegeta sweatdropped this time.
" Then what do you WANT me to say!!! " Goku shouted at her.
" NOTHING! JUST SHAKE HIS NASTY LITTLE OUJI HAND AND GET OVER IT!!! " Chi-Chi yelled.
Goku shook Vegeta's hand, " 1, 2, 3-- "
" --TIMESUP!! " Chi-Chi interupted him. Goku shrugged and flew down to yelp her out of the vat.
" Is it just me, or does your Kaasan seem a little more high strung than usual? " Videl said to Gohan, who nodded in
agreement.
" Yeah, well, maybe I did purposely scare the living poop out of Onna. " Vegeta mused, rubbing his nose to prevent a
sneeze from coming on.
" Vegeta what did you say to her?! " Gohan gasped.
" Not exactly say, more like do. " he grinned wickedly.
Gohan groaned, " Ohhhhhhh... "
" I don't get it. You mean all this time it was just an act? " Videl said, confused as the group sat around the table
Goku had eaten the mints off of earlier. Chi-Chi was using a towel to wipe the butter off of herself.
" Not an act. Not really. " Vegeta explained.
" It was more like a big game of "let's pretend!". " Goku grinned, interupting the ouji.
" Yes. " Vegeta nodded, then smirked at Gohan, " Kid, you don't REALLY think I was going to boil Onna alive before
Kakay's very eyes, do you? " he chuckled, " Heck, he'd hate me forever. "
" You BET I would! " Goku said happily. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" WHAT ABOUT ME! I'D HATE YOU TOO!! " Gohan exclaimed.
" Oh, I don't care what YOU think about me. " Vegeta said casually as if shrugging him off, " You're rather
unimportant in the grand scheme of things. Well, MY grand scheme of things, anyway. "
" Oh wow, lucky me. " Gohan said with sarcasm in his voice.
" Heeheeheeheehee. " Goku giggled at him.
" You still know you're both going to jail, right? " Videl asked. Both saiyajins froze.
" Ja-ja, ja-ja, ja-ja-ja-ja-ja- " Goku stuttered in shock.
" YOU CAN'T SEND KAKARROTTO TO _JAIL_!!! " Vegeta screamed at her.
" You're going too. "
" ...AAAH!! " the ouji screamed suddenly, then ducked behind Goku, " TAKE HIM! HE PUT ME UP TO IT! IT'S ALL
KAKARROT'S FAULT!! " Vegeta pointed at him.
" DON'T YOU SEND EITHER ONE OF THEM TO JAIL!!! GO-CHAN BECAUSE IT'S NOT HIS FAULT, AND THE OUJI BECAUSE I'VE GOT TO
KEEP AN EYE ON HIM! Besides, nobody actually killed me anyway. " Chi-Chi explained.
" Does that mean I have to go to "pretend jail"? " Goku gulped.
" Well Toussan the law says you could get up 6 months for this 'prank' you and Vegeta pulled. " Gohan nodded.
" You know what, brat? As long as you're sending Kakarrotto and I up the river, how about fixing one of those cages
for us to share, " Vegeta smirked evilly at Chi-Chi, who returned it with a death-glare, " We could be cell-mates. "
" OVER MY DEAD BODY ARE YOU GOING TO BE ANY TYPE OF "MATE" TO MY GO-CHAN!!! " Chi-Chi screamed in his face.
The ouji mused, " You know what, Onna. I'd say you would be partially correct with that statement. "
Chi-Chi held her fist infront of his face, " Care to repeat that? " she asked flatly.
" Maybe. "
" *glare* "
" *smirk* "
" Heh-heh-heh-heh. " Goku laughed nervously, " Say Veggie, where'd you get all the butter to fill that pot anyway? "
he grinned, trying to change the subject.
" That's not butter. " Vegeta blinked. Chi-Chi froze, inspecting the towel she had dried herself off with, " It's
I-can't-believe-it's-an-artificial-butter-like-substitute. "
" ... " everyone stared at him, bewildered.
" It's FAKE BUTTER! IT'S A FACTORY THAT MAKES FAKE BUTTER!! WE'VE BEEN DOING FAKE/PRETEND THINGS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE
STORY! THE BUTTER'S JUST ANOTHER PART OF THE BIG RUNNING GAG!! " Vegeta exclaimed, " Bakayaroes. " he muttered.
" But how did you even know this place was here? " Videl asked.
" You think I spend ALL my time training and conceiving evil plots? HA! " Vegeta scoffed, " Bul-chan had some stock
in the company but it went under before they had a chance to start selling the product in this particular part of the
country. Since the company was now out of money they had no choice but to get rid of their factories. This happens to be one
of them that I saw on the news. I figured it would be a good hideout if the circumstances for such an event were to occur. "
" ...I have no idea what little Veggie just said. " Goku said, drawing a blank. He grinned, " But it sounded very
smart so I'm PROUD of him! " he gave the ouji a quick hug.
" Heh-heh. " Vegeta smirked.
" I don't suppose you could throw us in "pretend" jail instead, eh? " Goku offered.
" Nope. " Gohan replied, then thought for a moment, " I suppose I could put you both in a lockdown for a couple
months. "
Goku smiled, " Would there be food? "
" Would there be bathrooms? " the ouji asked.
" Sure! " he nodded.
" And exactly WHERE do you plan to put them in "lockdown" anyway? " Chi-Chi eyed him up warningly.
Gohan laughed nervously, " Don't worry Kaasan! They won't be in the same room! Heck, they won't even be in the same
building. "
Chi-Chi smiled at him, " Really? "
" Yeah. I thought we could impose a lockdown, or in layman's terms, banish them to their rooms for a couple months. "
" You mean under this "legal punishment" I could actually keep my Go-chan away from the Ouji for a full-- "
" --3 to 4-- "
" --3 to 4 MONTHS? " Chi-Chi grinned.
" Well, yes. " Gohan sweatdropped, " But, but he'd have to stay in his room the whole time. You know, except when he
has to go to the bathroom. We could slip him food through the door. " he pointed to Goku.
" Gohan--YOU'RE BRILLIANT! " Chi-Chi wrapped him up in a big hug, " Oh you make me proud to have given birth to you,
you BRILLAINT little genius/crime fighter of a son of mine! "
" Heh-heh...heh. " an even larger sweatdrop appeared on the side of Gohan's head.
" You mean I have to stay--in ONE ROOM--FOR THREE-- "
" --to four-- "
" --MONTHS!! " Goku shrieked in horror, " But, that's IMPOSSIBLE! THAT'S CRUELTY TO ANIMALS! THAT'S-- "
" --the legal system at work. " Videl slapped a pair of handcuffs on the large saiyajin's wrists, " You have the
right to remain silent. All you say and do can be held against you in a court of law! "
" Eeeh... " Goku whinced at the handcuffs, " You're gonna take these off right? "
" As soon as we get you home dear. " Chi-Chi patted him on the back as Videl led Goku out to the Saiyamobile and sat
him next to Goten, who was still chewing a piece of bubblegum.
Chi-Chi smirked at Vegeta, who was snarling at her through his teeth. She turned to Gohan, " May I? " she asked,
holding out her hand.
Gohan face-faulted, " If you really wanna--? " he held out the handcuffs.
" YES! " she happily, then walked over to Vegeta with a grin on her face, " Hello, Ouji! " Chi-Chi slapped the
handcuffs over his wrists, " You are under arrest for kidnapping, mental torture, and for being an evil manipulating little
jerk! "
" Enjoying this, aren't you, Onna? " Vegeta asked wryly.
" You bet I am! " she patted him on the shoulder, " Alright, "Saiyaman". Take him away! "
" Hai! " Gohan said, pushing Vegeta out the door.
" If you think you can keep me locked away for 4 months then you're crazy, Onna!! YOU CAN'T IGNORE WHAT ISN'T THERE!
YOU CAN'T KEEP KAKA-CHAN LOCKED UP FOREVER ANY MORE THAN YOU CAN ME!! YOU JUST WAIT, FOUR MONTHS FROM NOW I'LL PERFECT A PLOT
SO POWERFUL YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP ME EVEN WITH YOUR PRECIOUS HALF-KAKA'D-SPAWN!! "
Gohan slapped a piece of duct tape over Vegeta's mouth.
" MMPH-MMMPHA!!! MPH MMMPHA MMPH!!!! " the ouji screamed, muffled through the tape.
" Why thank you, Gohan-chan. That was getting quite ANNOYING. " Chi-Chi said to him.
" You're welcome Kaasan. " Gohan led them to the car and sat Vegeta in the backseat. Chi-Chi squished in next to Goku
and Goten.
Gohan got in the drivers seat and sighed with relief as he started up the car.
" Well, I guess that's the last we'll be seeing of the "Masked Avenger", eh? " Videl smirked at her partner.
" Pretty much. " Gohan smiled weakly, " At least, for another several months, anyway. " he added, mumbling, then
grinned at the gang, " EVERYBODY READY! "
Videl froze and hung on for dear life, " I suggest you buckle you're seatbelts. " she turned towards the people in
the back of the car.
" Why? " Chi-Chi asked. Goku looked at his handcuffed hands, then at his un-buckled seat belt and gulped.
Videl let out a big breath, " You'll find out in 5 seconds. "
" Five--? " she glanced over at Goku, " Five secoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! "
Chi-Chi screamed in horror along with the rest of the passangers as the Saiyamobile sped off into the distance. Goku squealed
with excitement and grinned at Chi-Chi.
" I LOVE THIS CAR!!! " he hooted, " Hey Chi-Chi! You think Bulma could make ME one of these? " Goku shouted above the
wind.
She screamed back at him, " NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!!! "

9:15 PM 7/31/2002
THE END!
Chuquita: (sigh of relief) Whew! I thought I'd never get that done in time for tommorow, err, Thursday..oh you know what I
mean! (to audiance) Well, at least I've finally caught up with all the backed-up fics I had from ff.net's temporary shutdown.
Don't expect anything for Friday because, well, I don't have anything ready for Friday yet. In fact, if you were able to look
in my desktop folder you wouldn't find anything in there that I already haven't posted.
Goku: (sadly) Aww, poor Chu.
Chuquita: (to Son) No, this is a good thing. It means I'm finally back on schedule. So you can probably expect two chapters
of stuff per week. Maybe three a week if I'm really on a roll. But unless we have another major shutdown for some reason I
doubt you're gonna get the one-per-day thing I've been doing for the past couple weeks.
Goku: (adjusts his 'hat') Heeheehee.
Vegeta: (glaring up at the fic)
Chuquita: (to Veggie) You got a problem, short-stuff?
Vegeta: (still glaring) I lost.
Chuquita: (shrugs) Well, yeah.
Vegeta: I lost AND got arrested at the SAME TIME.
Chuquita: That's the way the cookie crumbles, or the way the lemon squeezes, or the way the water evaporates.
Vegeta: But I STILL lost...AGAIN.
Chuquita: (sighs) Must you be so persistant.
Vegeta: It's part of my character. [yelps as something stings him in the back of the head] [picks the object up] A marble??
Goku: (grinning) [snaps another marble out of the silk pink panties from before as if using a sling-shot] Heads up little
Veggie!
Vegeta: GAK! [catches the marble right before it hits him in the eyes] [examines the marble] (yelps) KAKARROTTO WHAT ARE YOU
DOING WITH THESE!!!
Goku: They're just marbles.
Vegeta: THEY ARE _NOT_ MARBLES THEY ARE SAIYAJIN SPHERES OF _POWER_! [lightning crashes in the backround] They double the
strength of the user and are yet another piece of property belonging to the royal family. THEY ARE NOT TO BE USED IN A
SLING-SHOT!!!
Goku: (giggles) [holds up the underwear] This is not a sling-shot little buddy 'o mine.
Vegeta: (shrieks) [grabs the underwear out of Son's hands] I THOUGHT I PUT THESE AWAY ALREADY!!
Goku: (grins impishly) I took 'um out when you weren't lookin.
Vegeta: (grumbles as he places the underwear back in its drawer) Stupid *mumble* *mumble* bakayaro!...*grumble*...
Chuquita: (smirks) Poor Veggie, so sensitive about his undergarments.
Vegeta: (to Chu) AND YOU STAY OUT OF MY THINGS TOO! THIS TOUR IS OFFICALLY OVER!!!
Goku: He's right Chu, the story's over also.
Chuquita: Hey, _I_ wasn't the one eating M-n-M's out of your SOCK DRAWER, Veggie!
Goku: (burps)
Vegeta: (turns a pale green) You DO know how long those things have been sitting in there, don't you Kakarrot?
Goku: (groans) I do now. [rushes out of the room and heads for the toilet]
[Chu & Veggie cringe; barfing noises can be heard in the backround]
Chuquita: Eew.
Vegeta: Regurgitated food leaves much to be desired. [sticks his tongue out in disgust]
Chuquita: You know today's Corner actually does a pretty good job in leading into our next story.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) [puts his hand on his forehead] Why do I have the feeling this is going to be a painful one.
Chuquita: Well, I'm pretty much decided on doing #4 on my list and THEN #2. Probably like 80% sure. So if I do do this one
first, here's the summary!
4) Underwear. We all wear it; well--most of us. Bulma decides to invite a famous fashion designer to Capsule Corp. But what
happens when the fashion designer decides Veggie would be perfect for modeling her new line of underwear? Will Veggie go
through with it? Will he make it down the catwalk without blasting the audiance into oblivion? How will Chi-Chi and Goku
react to this one? Will Veggie be able to use his new "underwear model" title to his advantage? And what happens when the
papers suddenly start blasting rumors about his personal life? Find out!
Vegeta: (eyes go wide) (shocked) (squeaks out) You can't be serious, can you?
Chuquita: (happily) Aww, come on Veggie! It'll be different, it'll be fun! Besides I'm keepin it G-rated so trust me nothing
to weird's gonna happen to you.
Goku: (stumbles back into the room) Veggie, *urp* I couldn't make it to the toilet in time, so I puked in the pair of briefs
you left in the hallway. [holds a pair of white briefs up which are now dripping with half-digested M-n-M's]
Vegeta: (to Chu) (flatly) Is that weird enough for ya?
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Eew. Son-San throw those away!
Vegeta: Even _I_ don't want that pair NOW, Kakarrotto.
Goku: Oh, *urp*. Oh-kay. [walks out of the room to trash the vomit-enhanced undies]
Chuquita: (to audiance) Oh! Before we go I have to put up a link to these two funny little screenshots I found on a site
Nekoni told me about.
http://www.wild-swans.net/wings/humor/mermaid.jpg This is from an actual episode which is gonna air this fall. Apparently
Veggie fell asleep on the beach and Trunks and Goten are covering him with sand and making it look like from the waist down
that the snoozin ouji is a mermaid. (grins widely) I cracked up when I first saw it. Here's the other one.
http://www.wild-swans.net/wings/humor/kakdoll.jpg Baby Trunks has an little Goku plushie in his crib! The person circled
where it's at in the screenshot. This was way back in the Cell saga and for the life of me I never noticed it after all those
times they played those episodes on Cartoon Network.
Vegeta: (sarcasm) Lovely.
Chuquita: You know I was gonna wait for DBZOA to get to the last 6 episode summaries so I could make sure, but I think I've
leveled the Veggie-mermaid picture down to episode 285 (I think that's the number) "Friend of Justice, Majin Buu?" Because I
know it's gotta be from a filler and Trunks and Goten are still young but Goten's hair looks like it's starting to grow out
to where it ended up at the last couple episodes. Or maybe his hair's just wet. Who knows. (shrugs)
Vegeta: (sweatdrops at the picture) The fact that this even happened is beyond me.
Chuquita: (smiling) Yeah, well. Every once in a while I need a little reminder of why I love this show.
Vegeta: My embarassing moments?
Chuquita: (thinks) Well, that's part of it. (to audiance) One more thing before we say see you later. I didn't realize till
someone wished me a happy 50th fic back in "Stupified" so we're going to be celebrating our Happy 53rd fic in the next Corner
Vegeta: (confused) 53'rd? WHO CELEBRATES A _53RD_ STORY!!
Chuquita: People who forgot to celebrate on their 50th story, that's who.
Goku: (comes back into the room, color back in his face) (grinning) We've come a long way.
Chuquita: That we have, Son-kun. That we have. (to audiance) UNTIL NEXT TIME EVERBODY!
Goku: Remember, underwear is your friend! (giggles; holding up the pink undies from before)
Vegeta: WHERE DO YOU KEEP GETTING THOSE!! PUT THEM BACK NOW!! [bops him over the head]
Goku: Heeheehee! [hands them over to Veggie]
Vegeta: (growling) Honestly! The things I put up with--BAKA!!

Quote of the Week: -from DUBZ
Son Goku: "I feel strong enough to take on 10 Vegetas!"
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Hello and welcome to Part 3!
Goku: (to Chu) You know, I don't think the world would be a safe place with 10 Veggies.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) I don't think the world's a safe place with just ONE of him.
Goku: (giggles) Heeheehee.
Chuquita: (to audiance) Hi, if you're just joining us Son-San and I here are going through Veggie's Earth clothes.
Goku: (grins) Such as his Bad Man golfing shirt! [holds the infamous pink shirt up; then coughs due to the dust it has
collected]
Chuquita: (wafts the dust away from her face) Bleh! When's the last time he wore that thing anyway!
Goku: Probably not since we met Mirai. Veggie doesn't golf much anyways.
Chuquita: He doesn't golf at all.
Goku: ....good point! (smiles)
Vegeta: [kicks open the door leading from his control room back into his bedroom] GET KAKARROTTO OUT OF MY CLOTHES DRAWERS!!
(angrily shakes his fist at them)
Goku: (blinks) (unfazed) (to Chu) You know I went golfing once, I didn't like it much through.
Chuquita: Really?
Goku: Yeah, I kept breaking those golf sticks and after I drove the golf-cart into the sandtrap Chi-chan and I almost drowned
until they had those rescue workers from the fire department next door come and get us out.
Vegeta: (pouty mad) AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO ME!!!
Goku: Aww, poor Veggie, [knocks him to the ground] little Veggie sit down with us!
Vegeta: (mutters something incoherently; obviously still mad at the loss of his Saiya-garden)
Goku: ..so? Veggie?
Vegeta: ?
Goku: Can I keep these pants! (grins cheesily) [holds up Veggie's also infamous yellow pants]
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) (groans) You know what, Kakarrot? Sure, go ahead, keep them.
Goku: YAY! [hugs the pants]
Vegeta: (to Chu) I don't wear those things anymore anyway...(confused) Waitaminute? Kakarrotto how do you plan to wear those
things anyway! You're a whole 3 pants sizes bigger than I am!!!
Goku: (laughs) Aww Veggie, I don't plan to wear them on my butt! [puts the pants upsided-down on his head so it looks like an
odd version of the "Cat in the Hat's" hat] Not when they make such a snazzy hat! [pats his "hat"]
Vegeta: ... [thunks his head down onto the floor]
Chuquita: (trying to stifle her laughter at Son's newest appearance) Yes, Son-kun. It is indeed very "snazzy".
Goku: I'm glad you agree, Chu-sama! (nods happily)
Vegeta: (groans)
Chuquita: So, Veggie? Boxers or briefs?
Vegeta: (falls backward in shock) WHA--WHAT?!
Chuquita: Boxers or briefs?
Vegeta: (bites his lip) Briefs, if you must know.
Goku: (to Chu) Is he just saying that to stay on Bulma's good side cuz her last name is briefs or does he really mean it?
Vegeta: OF COURSE I MEAN IT! Hmmph! [folds his arms grumpily]
Goku: I'm a boxers man myself! (happily) I have a pair with smiley faces on 'um, and I have a pair of blue ones and a pair
of red ones and one with circus animals on it and one that reads "Big Buddy" on it and a pair with cows on it that moos when
you press the little button on the side of it's leg--
[Chu & Veggie stare at him, then simultaneously sweatdrop]
Goku: ...what?
Vegeta: (to both of them) You weren't shuffling IN my underwear drawer, were you?
Chuquita: Nope.
Goku: Heeheehee.
Vegeta: (turns a pale green) What does "heeheehee" mean?
Goku: Maaaaaayyyyyybe? [glances at something behind his back]
Vegeta: (at Chu) YOU LET HIM IN MY UNDERWEAR DRAWER!!!! ARE YOU MAD!!!
Chuquita: No, but you're starting to look a little frustrated on your own.
Vegeta: ERRR!!!
Goku: VeggieVeggie lookit what I found! [holds up a little pair of silk pink undies]
Vegeta: (shrieks) AHH! LET GO OF THAT RIGHT NOW!!! [rips it out of his hands and stuffs it back in his underwear drawer]
*WHEW*! (to Son) Anymore "surprises" in store for me, Kakarrotto?
Goku: Hmm...nope! (grins)
Vegeta: (mutters) Thank God.
Goku: (sneakily) Except for--
Vegeta: (gulps nervously)
Goku: --THESE! [holds out nothing more than his empty hands]
Vegeta: [falls to the ground animé style]
Goku: Heeheeheehee! (sing-song) I tricked Veh-gee!
Vegeta: (glares at him) (mumbles) Stupid....surprises...*grumble*grumble*
Chuquita: On with Part 3 everybody!
Summary: Saiyaman and Saiyagirl. They can beat anybody..right? According to Chi-Chi they can. After watching her boastful
interview our favorite ouji's out to prove her wrong. What happens when Veggie decides to create a supervillain squad
composed of himself and Goku? Will Saiyaman and Saiyagirl save Gohan's "kidnapped" mother and younger brother? Will Videl
ever get that funky smell out of her helmet?
Vegeta: There wasn't any REAL surprise, was there, Kakarrotto?
Goku: (grins) Nope!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Yeah, that's what I thought...
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Veggie, I'm starting to get really worried about Chi-chan. " Goku said as he nervously waved his hand infront of
Chi-Chi's unflinching face.
" She's still breathing isn't she? " Vegeta asked, slightly ticked.
" Well, yeah..I think so. " Goku trailed off.
" Then she's fine! " he shrugged, walking over to the larger saiyajin.
" Muh--maybe I should get a napkin and wipe some of that foamy spit away from her mouth before she drowns in it. "
Goku gulped.
" WHAT!? Kakarrotto I already told you! Onna's oh-kay! Besides, evil villains do NOT wipe the spit away from their
captives!!! " Vegeta exclaimed, " Your brother didn't make an attempt to help your son get comfortable when HE kidnapped HIM,
DID HE?? "
" Uhh, I wouldn't know. I wasn't really there at the time. " Goku scratched his head.
" Oh?...Eh, forget it. I never liked your brother anyway. He was a pessimist, a jerk, and he thought I was a spoiled
brat desperately in need of a hobby. " the ouji stubbornly folded his arms.
" ...Veggie likes ME though, right? " Goku glanced over at him sadly.
" Huh? OF COURSE I LIKE YOU WHAT WOULD POSSIBLY CAUSE YOU TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE!! " Vegeta panicly waved his arms in
the air.
" Nothin. Just asking. " the bigger saiyajin shrugged casually. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Say, Kakarrotto, you know since your spawn and his so-called sidekick will eventually find Onna and Goten here, why
don't we just ditch this place and find another hideout! " Vegeta said cheerfully.
Goku gasped, " Veggie are you crazy! We can't just leave Chi-chan here! She's practically defenseless all tied up and
half-consious and all! "
" So? We're "bad guys", we can do that! THAT'S THE POINT!! "
" No it's not! Little Veggie you name one movie or news article you've seen where the villains just leave their
victims for no good reason and run off somewhere because one of them feels like it! " Goku narrowed his eyes at the prince.
" ...umm, oh-kay. SO I DON'T HAVE AN EXAMPLE! "
" Ha! I rest my case! " Goku nodded happily.
" Very well, Kakarrotto. If you're going to be that way we'll just move to "pretend evil villains" phase 2. " Vegeta
nodded.
" Phase 2? " the larger saiyajin cocked his head to the right, confused.
" Kakarrotto I want you to untie Goten and both follow me, we're going to pay a phone call to our friendly
neighborhood superheroes. " the ouji smirked, walking to a nearby telephone.
" *gasp-of-joy* You mean Super Weenie and his batch of Wonder Dachshunds!! " Goku grinned widely.
" ... " Vegeta stared at him blankly, " Uhh, no. "
" Awww. " Goku pouted.
" I meant Saiyaman and Saiyagirl! "
" YAY! " Goku cheered, then glanced down at Goten, " I like them too. "
Goten nodded in agreement, then paused as Vegeta dialed a number and handed him the phone.
" Alright kid, now when your brother picks up I want you to read off these cue-cards, oh-kay? "
" K! " Goten nodded happily.
" AND NOT IN THAT FAKE CUE-CARD READING VOICE EITHER!! I want you to speak as if you actually mean what you are
reading, got it? " Vegeta warned him.
Goten gave him a thumbs-up sign, " You got it, Uncle Veggie! " he made a Son grin.
Vegeta briefly looked up at Goku, who had the same expression on his face. The ouji groaned, " Some people shouldn't
be allowed to reproduce. "
" ZZzzzzZZzzzZZzzz... "
" *RING RING RING!!* "
" --BUTTERSCOTCH! 53! PI ARE SQUARED!!! " Gohan bolted awake with a start. He looked around, dazed. Then, noticing
the Saiyamobile's car-phone was ringing, picked it up, " He--hello? You have reached the Saiyateam. If you wish to speak to
Saiyaman, press 1. If you wish to speak to Saiyagirl-- " he glanced over at Videl, who was still fast asleep at the
dashboard and now slightly drooling, " --press 2. If you wish to report a wrong-doing, press 3. "
" GOHAN!! "
" Goten?! " he gawked at the panicking voice, " Where are you? Are you oh-kay? How's Kaasan? "
" Oh big brother it was horrible! I was a-ble to e..ee.. "
" Escape! " a voice whispered loudly in the backround.
" Escape. I was able to escape to a small closet but Mom was not as lucky. "
Gohan's eyes widened, " What??! Where is she, is she hurt? Is she still alive? Is she--- "
" Kaasan is dangling upside-down above a giganteric... "
" GIGANTIC!! " the other voice whispered again, more annoyed this time.
" Goten is there someone there with you? " Gohan asked, confused.
" Huh? No. That--that's just my shoe...yup. My talking shoe. " he laughed nervously.
Vegeta rolled his eyes, " Aww for crying out loud, a talking sh--YEOW! " he cried as Goten kicked him in the jaw.
" Shh! Quiet talking shoe I'm busy having a conversation with my brother who is coming to rescue us. " Goten said
into the phone. Vegeta twitched angrily at the boot now slightly lodged in his mouth. Goku let out a few muffled giggles at
the scene.
" Oh...talking shoe. Oh-kay. I suppose. " Gohan scratched his head.
" Anyways, " Goten went back to reading off the cue-cards, " Kaasan is dangling upside-down above a giganTIC-- " he
grinned at the ouji, proud of his correct pronounciation, " --pool of BOILING OIL! "
" WHAT?! " Gohan shrieked.
" And Toussan and Uncle Veggie are slowly lowering her down into it via a--a--rope-dangling system. " Goten squinted
to read the cue-card.
" AHH! GOTEN YOU'VE GOT TO STOP THEM!!! " Gohan shrieked, " I don't think we'll be able to get there in time! " he
gulped at the large line of cars infront of the Saiyamobile on the road.
" Umm, that's alright. You'll make it. " Goten encouraged him.
" But this could take us up to FOUR HOURS! "
" ...they're lowing her slowly. "
" Slowly? "
" Uh, yeah. Very very slowly. Like, one inch every half-hour slowly. " Goten put his hands behind his head. Goku
snickered in the backround.
" ... "
" ... "
" You're just making this up as you're going along, aren't you Goten? " Gohan said flatly.
" I AM NOT!.....actually, I read most of it off of the cue-card Uncle Veggie's holding for me. "
" ... "
" ... "
" He's holding up cue-cards for you? " Gohan sweatdropped.
" Yup! "
" But if he's holding the cue-cards then Kaasan isn't hanging over a pool of boiling oil? " a look of relief covered
his face.
" She will be. " a new voice snickered evilly.
" THE MASKED AVENGER! " Gohan gawked.
" Saiyaman. " Vegeta casually replied, " To tell the truth, Kakay's tieing up Onna as we speak. " he glanced over at
the larger saiyajin, who grinned at him.
" WHAT! TOUSSAN WOULD NEVER-- "
" --Zanahoria would. "
" ...who? "
" Zanahoria. " Vegeta folded his arms, " Kakarrotto translated into spanish. It's his new sidekick name. "
" I didn't know you could translate saiyajinese into spanish. " Gohan said, impressed.
" Hmm? Oh, you can't. I just translated the word carrot and Zazanahoria would just sound stupid. " the ouji shrugged.
" Really? Hmm....BUT WHY WOULD HE HELP YOU! TOUSSAN LOVES KAASAN! HE WOULD NEVER JOIN YOUR SIDE OF EVIL-NESS, YOU
VILLAIN!! " Gohan shouted.
" Oh, yes, that. Kakarotto's under the silly impression that the whole city along with Onna, Goten, you two, and
myself are playing a big game of "let's pretend" with him. We're the "pretend" villains, Onna and Goten are the "pretend"
victims, and you and your Chi-Chi-ish sidekick are the "pretend" heroes. " Vegeta mocked, " Amazing how utterly naive Kakay
is when you really think about it. "
" He won't let you get far enough to lower Kaasan into a pot of REAL boiling oil! " Gohan scoffed, " Toussan DOES
have his strong points! "
" Hai, and believing every little word that comes out of my mouth is one of them. " Vegeta smirked, " HEY KAH-KEE,
HOW'S THAT "PRETEND" BOILING OIL COMING ALONG? "
" It's great, little Veggie! " Goku shouted back happily, now standing at the top of a very tall ladder mixing a huge
vat full of boiling oil with a giant wooden spoon.
" ... " Gohan sweatdropped, then slapped himself on the forehead, " OH! "
" Tsk tsk tsk, you know, Saiyaman. If I had known Kakarrotto's naivity could be so easily manipulated I would have
gotten this whole mess done and over with YEARS ago! " Vegeta chuckled.
" WELL I'M NOT ABOUT TO LET YOU GET AWAY WITH IT NOW! " Gohan said angrily.
" ... "
" ... "
" How much time do we have left? "
Vegeta looked at his watch, " Oh, about 2 hours, give or take a few minutes. "
Gohan shrieked, " TWO HOURS?! "
" Yes. It all depends upon how willing Kakarrotto is to letting me dunk Onna in the "pretend" oil. " Vegeta smiled at
Goku, who waved back to him, " Haha. He just waved to me. Hello, Kakarrotto! " the ouji waved back. Goku laughed at him.
" *click*. " Gohan hung up. Vegeta looked down at the phone and blinked, then hung up as well.
" Two hours... " Gohan muttered in shock as he let his hands fall from the wheel, " We don't have two hours! Kaasan
will be dead and it'll be all my FAULT! " he slammed his fist down on the control panel, then yelped and jumped back in his
seat as the Mexican hat dance started to play loudly throughout the car and balloons and streamers magically appeared
floating down from the ceiling. Gohan's jaw fell to the ground. Videl groaned at the loud noise, waking up. When she saw the
scene she instantly bolted to attention, glancing around in surprise. She looked over at Gohan like he had just sprouted
another eyeball. Gohan laughed nervously.
" Heh-heh-heh-heh....don't ask. " he put his hand behind his head a la Son style.
" Believe me, I won't. " Videl scratched her head, then gawked to see their car still hadn't moved from its spot on
the road since she fell asleep, " AHH! " she clasped her hands over her mouth, " This is not good. "
" You wanna know what's even worse? " Gohan looked at her pitifully.
" What? " she asked slowly.
" Vegeta's planning to fry Kaasan in 2 hours. "
" WHAT?! " Videl screamed.
Gohan cringed, plugging his ears, " Please...not so loud.. "
" ARE YOU CRAZY! WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT THERE IN TWO HOURS! NOT WITH ALL THIS--TRAFFIC! AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED
ON HOW WE'RE SUPPOSED TO _FIND_ THE PLACE! "
" Yeah, I guess I should have asked Vegeta that when I was talking to him on the phone. " Gohan mumbled.
" You were TALKING to him? WHEN!? "
" Just now. " Gohan replied, " Apparently he's the only ACTUAL bad guy. "
" What do you mean? "
" *sigh*. Vegeta tricked Toussan into thinking this is all a big game of "let's pretend". " he shook his head.
Videl groaned, " Why am I not surprised. "
" Ohhh, this is all my fault! I should've watched Toussan more closely! " Gohan sat back in his chair.
" No, it's my fault for pointing out to him where Vegeta was when he asked for him to come "play pretend". " Videl
said, turning to him.
Gohan bolted to attention, " YOU DID WHAT?! "
She bit her lip, " Well, I was still angry from fighting that monster earlier downtown...and after Vegeta
misprounounced my superhero name and started babbling on about "Kaka-land" I just couldn't help but want to get rid of him
SOMEHOW! And having Mr. Son call him out of the room just seemed like the perfect opportunity to-- "
" --get some personal time. " Gohan finished for her.
" Yeah. " Videl sighed, " Listen Gohan, I am so sorry. I had NO IDEA Vegeta was going to concoct some psychotic plan
to kidnap and confuse your family just because he spent, what, 10 minutes alone in the same room with Mr. Son! "
" You don't know him very well do you? " Gohan said flatly.
" No, not really. "
He sighed, " Yeah, that's what I thought. "
The duo sat in silence for a moment, trying to figure out what to do next.
" I don't suppose there's a way we can just fly off in this thing, is there? " Videl said to him, the look on her
face reading she had run out of ideas.
" Actually, now that you mention it... " Gohan trailed off, rubbing his chin.
" HA! THAT'S GREAT! " Videl clasped her hands together, " Let's get going then! "
" Are you sure? I mean, it's much faster than your helicopter and we'd pull about 6 G's once we it our maximum speed
and what about all those harmless birds in the air, what if we were to HIT one by mistake and-- "
" Gohan, just do it. " she cut him short. He nodded.
" Oh-kay. " Gohan grabbed the gear shift inbetween them and pushed it forward.
" ... "
" ... "
" Hey, nothing's happening. " Videl blinked, then peered out the window and smiled to see the car slowly levitating
off the ground, " HAHA! GOHAN LOOK! IT'S WORKING! "
" Umm, Videl? "
" I KNEW this stupid car must be good for something if you wanted to hold onto it so badly! "
" Videl? "
" WHAT, Gohan? " she asked, slightly annoyed.
" Uh, I think you should pull your head back inside the car. "
" Why? "
" Well...it goes very very fast. "
" How fast we talkin? "
" Probably abou--WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! "
" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! "
" Ohhhhh... " Chi-Chi groaned, everything blurry infront of her.
" Aww, Veggie look! Chi-chan is waking up! " Goku's voice said around her. Chi-Chi shook her head as her vision
adjusted back to normal just as something grabbed her from infront and hugged her, " HOORAY! "
" Huh?--Go--Go-chan? " Chi-Chi looked up at the hugging fiend.
" Hello to you too Chi-chan! " he said happily, giggling at her.
" ... " Chi-Chi looked around for a moment, " Goku is it just me or does this room feel weird to you? "
" Of COURSE it feels "weird", Chi-Chi. We're hanging upside-down! " Goku grinned, then paused, " Well, actually
you're the only one who's truely hanging upside-down. I'm just latching onto you for hugging comfort. "
" Upside-do---what do you MEAN upside-down!? " she demanded. Goku pointed up, or rather down. Below them was a giant
pot of boiling oil. Chi-Chi gazed what to her was upward and shrieked, " AHHHH!!! GOKU! UNTIE ME! UNTIE ME NOW!! " she swung
them back and forth on the rope she was tied from, then stopped, " NO! DON'T UNTIE ME BECAUSE THEN I'LL FALL IN!!! "
" UNTIE HER KAKAY! DO IT! DO IT NOW!! " Vegeta cheered from the sidelines. Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes and growled at
the Ouji, who was standing on a platform above the vat of boiling oil. above him was the end of a piece of rope that when
followed through a system of pulleys and levers ended at the exact same rope that tied around Chi-Chi and keeping her from
falling into the pot.
" Silly Veggie! You know it's not time to 'knock her off' just yet! " Goku said, then winked at Chi-Chi, who's eyes
widened.
" Goku? "
" Hmm? "
" Goku why did you just wink at me? " Chi-Chi said, surprised and curious at the same time.
" Heeheehee. Chi-chan is such a good actress. " Goku giggled, then whispered to her, " Don't worry, you won't have to
hang there for long. As soon as the Saiyateam gets here we're going to put up a pretend fight and they're going to save you
from your pretend impending doom! "
" ...waitaminute. Pretend? " Chi-Chi looked at him like he was speaking a foreign language.
" Yeah, you know, "play pretend". The game we've been playing the whole morning. " Goku answered, surprised.
" Goku I'm not pretending. " Chi-Chi shook her head seriously.
The large saiyajin's face turned a pale green, " You're...not playing? "
" Nope. "
" You, you mean you didn't know about the whole city-wide game of play pretend me-n-Veggie have been part of? " Goku
gawked.
" THERE _IS_ _NO_ CITY-WIDE GAME OF "PLAY PRETEND", GOKU!!! THIS IS REAL!!! THAT STUPID OUJI TRICKED YOU--AGAIN!!! "
she yelled at him.
Goku covered his mouth with his hands, then glanced over at Vegeta in shock, " Little Veggie is LYING to me? "
" Oh Kakay Kakay Kakay, now WHY would I lie to you. " Vegeta said, pulling Goku away from his hug with Chi-Chi, " I'm
you're little buddy! Remember? "
" WHERE'S GOTEN, OUJI!! " Chi-Chi snapped at him.
" Hmm? OH! The little kaka-spawn. He's over there. " Vegeta casually pointed past the boiling oil. Goten was on the
other side of the room waving to them while chewing a piece of bubblegum, " We're planning on handing him over to "Saiyaman"
as a ransom. YOU, on the other hand. Well, you'll be lucky if you'll be worth ANYTHING once we're done boiling your evil onna
brains out. " he smirked.
" ... " Chi-Chi stared at them both, frozen. Vegeta flew himself and Goku back to the platform. Goku watching her
nervously and beginning to believe her.
" Kakay? Are you alright, Kaka-chan? " Vegeta smirked at the bigger saiyajin. Goku looked down at him pleadingly.
" Little Veggie you better not hurt my Chi-chan. " he said, worried, " You better not be playing a trick on me.
Because if you are it's a horrible trick. And you are a horrible person. "
Vegeta gulped, cold sweat trickling down his forehead, " Heh-heh. Now why would I trick you like that, Kakarrotto? "
Goku squinted at him, as if trying to process some bit of information way above his intelligence level, " Be--because
you want..you want to take me away from....from Chi-Chi? "
The ouji's jaw fell wide open. Chi-Chi smiled warmly at Goku and sighed with relief.
" Oh thank GOD!...he got it. He finally got it! " she said with joy and shock, " HAHA! TAKE THAT OUJI!! "
" But, my little Veggie would never do such a thing, would you? " Goku bent down to Vegeta's height, trying not to
believe the smaller saiyajin was capable of it.
" Nuh, no Kakarrotto. I'm not going to kill Onna. It's all PRETEND. " Vegeta laughed nervously, trying to reassure
him.
" If it's all pretend how come Chi-chan didn't know about it. " Goku said quickly.
" Because... " Vegeta bit his lip, " She didn't. "
" What?! " both Chi-Chi and Goku said in unison.
" Fact is, Kakarrotto, the only people who knew about this city-wide game of play pretend where only the people who
were living or in the city at the time of it's, err, notification! " Vegeta grinned. The fear instantly disappeared from
Goku's face. Chi-Chi groaned and sweatdropped.
" OHHH! I get it! And since Chi-chan wasn't in the city-- "
" --she didn't know about the game. " Vegeta finished, then yelped as Goku picked him up and gave him a hug.
" Oh! My little buddy is so clever! " Goku laughed, swinging the ouji back and forth. Chi-Chi sent death glares at
Vegeta, who's face was now glowing bright red. Goku set him down but held onto his arms to keep Vegeta from wobbling off into
the vat of oil, " Chi-chan Veggie is sorry for not informing you sooner! " he grinned, " No need to worry Chi-chan for you
are only in pretend danger. "
Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " And that's a GOOD thing? "
Goku grinned even wider, " Yes it is! "
" Kakay's right, Onna. " Vegeta grinned, " You're not going die. And even if you do it'll only be a "pretend" death."
he smirked evilly.
" Oh, yeah, right. And I suppose you'll be wishing me back with the "pretend" dragonballs. " she said skeptically,
" GO-CHAN HELP!!! HELP ME!! DON'T YOU LISTEN TO HIM HE'S MAKING STUFF UP INSIDE HIS TWISTED OUJI HEAD TO GET YOU TO THINK I'M
NOT IN DANGER! WELL I _AM_ IN DANGER GOKU! AND IN PAIN! IT IS PAINFUL DANGER!!! "
" Or dangerously painful. " Vegeta chuckled while examining his gloves. The ouji gasped as he bolted to attention,
" Kakarrotto! " he turned to the larger saiyajin.
" Yes Veggie? "
" Kakay I want you to hide behind the pot of boiling oil and fly up onto the platform where I'm standing once I give
the signal. Got it? " he ordered.
" I have got it little Veggie! " Goku grinned, ducking behind the pot.
Goten finished his bubble-gum and spat it out, " What about me, Uncle Veggie? What'll I do? " he called up to him.
Vegeta chucked another piece of bubble-gum at Goten, who caught it, " HAVE SOME MORE GUM AND ANSWER THE DOOR FOR YOUR
BROTHER ONCE HE GETS HERE! "
" YAY! " Goten squealed, then chewed the piece of gum and blew a bubble. He snapped the bubble off his mouth and
twisted it in different contortions until it was now in the shape of a doggy balloon they would make at the circus. He
grinned up at Chi-Chi and Vegeta, " Heehee, woof woof! " Goten laughed, then yelped as he lost his grip on the balloon,
causing it to float upward until it got lodged in the ceiling bars, " Uh-oh... "
Chi-Chi and Vegeta stared up at the gigantic bubble-gum dog in awe.
" Wow, Onna. When did you teach him how to do THAT! " Vegeta gawked.
Chi-Chi looked equally surprised, " I didn't. "
Gohan and Videl sat in the Saiyamobile infront of the factory, both completely windblown and looking in the state of
shock one would be in after driving a 7 hour distance in 2 minutes.
" Are we...here? " Videl said, her eyes bulging out of their sockets.
" Are we still alive? " Gohan's bottom eye-lid fidgeted, his nerves shot.
" I...think so? " she looked over at him. The duo grinned.
" WE'RE ALIVE!! " they grabbed each other and hugged tightly.
" Oh I thought we were goners for sure that time! " Gohan sobbed happily.
" Me too! " Videl responded, then gasped, " OH! YOUR FAMILY! WE'VE GOT TO SAVE THEM! " she let go of the now-blushing
Gohan and kicked open the car door, " Come on! Let's go! " Videl said, determined. She paused and glanced back at him. Gohan
was now laughing in a nervous tone; still blushing.
" Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh- "
" Oh give me a break. " Videl groaned, smacking herself on the forehead. She ran around to Gohan's side of the car
and yanked him out, " HURRY UP GOHAN! WE ONLY HAVE 5 MINUTES LEFT TO SAVE YOUR MOM AND YOUR BROTHER!!! "
" FIVE MINUTES?! " Gohan gawked, snapping out of it.
" That's better. " Videl smiled and nodded at him.
" OH NO! WE _DO_ ONLY HAVE FIVE MINUTES! " he cried, getting a look at his watch, " Hmm, I guess we'll have to cut
the intro a little short then. "
" Ugh, FORGET THE INTRO! " Videl shouted, then ran for the door. Gohan paused for a minute.
" HEY! WAIT FOR ME!!! "
" *KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*!!! "
" They're here! " Vegeta grinned, then snickered maniacally, " Perfect. " he grabbed ahold of the rope that
eventually led to around Chi-Chi's waist and arms.
" *KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*!!! "
" ...GOTEN!! " Vegeta screamed.
" Huh-what-chicken? " Goten sat up, yawning. He had fallen asleep.
" GOTEN! GET THE DOOR! " the ouji snapped at him.
" Hmm? Oh. Oh-kay Uncle Veggie. " he smiled, then opened the door a crack, " HellOOO? "
" Goten, quick! Let us in! " Gohan said anxiously. The youngest saiyajin closed the door on his face.
Gohan sweatdropped, " Goten, let me in. "
" I'm sorry Saiyaman, but The Masked Avenger says I'm only allowed to open this door for my brother. " he nodded
thoughtfully.
" I _AM_ YOUR BROTHER!!! " Gohan kicked open the door and ripped the helmet off his head.
" Heeheehee. Use the force, Luke. " Goten giggled at him as he stomped by.
" I swear, you're hanging out with Trunks way too much. " Gohan grumbled as he made his way towards the other side
of the room.
" Watch out for booby traps big brother! " Goten called out to him, " See! I'm not like Trunks because Trunks
wouldn't have warned you about the attack tigers! "
" ATTACK TIGERS?! " Gohan instantly froze, waiting for something to attack.
" Yeah, of course he probably wouldn't have to warn you about the attack tigers seeing as there aren't any. " Goten
shrugged. Gohan slapped himself in the face, mortified.
" Goten? Quick! Get in the car! " Videl said, stepping into the room and noticing him on entry.
" Goten quick this. Goten quick that. Ev-er-ree body seems to be in such a hurry and I don't know why. " he shook his
head, confused.
" JUST GET IN THE CAR!! " Videl shrieked, " GET IN THE CAR OR YOU'LL DIE!! "
" Die? " Goten blinked, then grinned, certain this was part of the game, " You got it soon-to-be big sister! " he
winked at her, then ran out of the room screaming like a banshee, " WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! "
" Is he safe in the car? " Gohan asked her.
" Yup. " Videl nodded.
" ALRIGHT THEN! " Gohan turned towards where Vegeta was standing, " MASKED AVENGER! " he shouted in his superhero
tone of voice as a spotlight instantly shown on himself and Videl. Everything around them went dark except for a mini-light
hanging over Vegeta's head. The ouji sweatdropped, " PREPARE YOURSELF--LIGHT OF DARKNESS! "
Videl continued, the duo now back to back, " TO BE COOLED OFF-- "
" --BY A DOUBLE-SCOOP OF RIGHTEOUSNESS! " the two heroes then went into several saiya-poses, only to wind up with
Gohan standing on his head with his legs straight out. Videl was standing on the heels of his feet, right-side-up.
" THE SAIYATEAM!! " they both shouted at once. Several streamers and confetti flew down out of nowhere as the lights
quickly turned back on. Vegeta stared at them, disturbed.
" Wow. I think I just had a flashback to the Ginyu Force. " he muttered, then shook his head, " All that pointless
posing, yuck. "
Gohan and Videl zipped back to their positions on the ground, " HA! " Gohan shouted, " HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT! "
Vegeta called back to him, " DO YOU TWO KNOW HOW STUPID YOU LOOKED JUST NOW? "
" YES, YES WE DO! " Videl said, Gohan face-faulted, " BUT THAT WON'T STOP US FROM DEFEATING YOU AND SAVING GOHAN'S
FAMILY! "
" Really? " Vegeta smirked, interested as he formed a small beam out of ki and held it towards the rope Chi-Chi was
hanging from.
" AHH! OUJI DON'T!! " Chi-Chi shrieked.
" KAASAN!! " Gohan gasped.
" That's right, boy. "Kaasan". " Vegeta cackled, " I suppose you COULD manage to save her. You've still got a full 3
minutes left. " he glanced at his watch. Gohan growled at him, " However, there are SOME family members that are beyond
rescue. " Gohan blinked at him. Vegeta cocked his head over his shoulder, " KAKAY! "
" YAH! " Goku lept out from behind the pot and teleported behind Gohan and Videl, then grabbed each of them by the
neck and got the duo in two seperate headlocks.
" TA--TOUSSAN! " Gohan choked out.
" Two for the price of one little Veggie! " Goku grinned up at him.
Vegeta grinned back at the larger saiyajin, pleased. He then turned to the Saiyateam, " Well Saiyaman, you've run out
of time, Onna's about to be fried in boiling oil, and Kakay has joined the my side of evil. I'd say you pretty much lost all
around. " he chuckled, then whipped out the small beam of ki into one 4 times its size and sliced the rope holding Chi-Chi
up, " SAY GOODBYE TO ONNA!!! "
" KAASAN!! "
" CHI-CHI! " Goku shrieked, pushing Gohan and Videl aside just as a large splash was heard inside the pot. Vegeta
stood upon the platform laughing maniacally, " WHY YOU LITTLE MEANIE!!! " Goku tackled the ouji to the ground, " HOW DARE YOU
DO THAT TO MY CHI-CHAN YOU TRICKED ME YOU LIEING LITTLE TRICKING VEGGIE!!! " he repeatedly slammed Vegeta's head down upon
the platform, " HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A THING! AND I _TRUSTED_ YOU! " he cried into Vegeta's shirt, " YOU DISGUST ME!! "
" YUCK! "
" Yeah! You tell 'um Chi-chan! " Goku sniffled, then did a double-take, " CHI-CHAN! " he squealed, zipping over to
the platform's edge and peering down to see Chi-Chi now floating in the liquid, seemingly unharmed except for the fact that
she was now drenched in the yellow liquid, " CHI-CHI! YOU'RE ALIVE!! "
" GOKU! IT'S BUTTER! " she squrimed, sickened.
" Butter? " Goku glanced over at Vegeta, surprised.
" "Pretend" boiling oil. " Vegeta said proudly, " Remember, PRETEND. The game we were playing? " he cocked an
eyebrow.
Goku looked down at Chi-Chi with happiness, then back at the ouji, " Oh VEGGIE! YOU DESERVE A BIG 'OL SLOPPY WET KISS
JUST FOR BEING SUCH A SNEAKY LIL OUJI! "
" DON'T YOU DARE!!! " Chi-Chi screamed from inside the vat of liquid butter. Goku froze, then sweatdropped.
" Or, maybe a hug? "
" NO! "
" A handshake? " Goku glanced down at Chi-Chi, waiting for permission.
" ...ONE handshake. AND TIME YOURSELF! NO MORE THAN 3 SECONDS!!! "
" But Chi-Chi that's not nearly enough ti-- "
" THREE SECONDS! ONLY! "
Goku sighed, " Fine. Here Veggie, take my hand. "
" DON'T SAY THAT!!! "
Both Goku and Vegeta sweatdropped this time.
" Then what do you WANT me to say!!! " Goku shouted at her.
" NOTHING! JUST SHAKE HIS NASTY LITTLE OUJI HAND AND GET OVER IT!!! " Chi-Chi yelled.
Goku shook Vegeta's hand, " 1, 2, 3-- "
" --TIMESUP!! " Chi-Chi interupted him. Goku shrugged and flew down to yelp her out of the vat.
" Is it just me, or does your Kaasan seem a little more high strung than usual? " Videl said to Gohan, who nodded in
agreement.
" Yeah, well, maybe I did purposely scare the living poop out of Onna. " Vegeta mused, rubbing his nose to prevent a
sneeze from coming on.
" Vegeta what did you say to her?! " Gohan gasped.
" Not exactly say, more like do. " he grinned wickedly.
Gohan groaned, " Ohhhhhhh... "
" I don't get it. You mean all this time it was just an act? " Videl said, confused as the group sat around the table
Goku had eaten the mints off of earlier. Chi-Chi was using a towel to wipe the butter off of herself.
" Not an act. Not really. " Vegeta explained.
" It was more like a big game of "let's pretend!". " Goku grinned, interupting the ouji.
" Yes. " Vegeta nodded, then smirked at Gohan, " Kid, you don't REALLY think I was going to boil Onna alive before
Kakay's very eyes, do you? " he chuckled, " Heck, he'd hate me forever. "
" You BET I would! " Goku said happily. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" WHAT ABOUT ME! I'D HATE YOU TOO!! " Gohan exclaimed.
" Oh, I don't care what YOU think about me. " Vegeta said casually as if shrugging him off, " You're rather
unimportant in the grand scheme of things. Well, MY grand scheme of things, anyway. "
" Oh wow, lucky me. " Gohan said with sarcasm in his voice.
" Heeheeheeheehee. " Goku giggled at him.
" You still know you're both going to jail, right? " Videl asked. Both saiyajins froze.
" Ja-ja, ja-ja, ja-ja-ja-ja-ja- " Goku stuttered in shock.
" YOU CAN'T SEND KAKARROTTO TO _JAIL_!!! " Vegeta screamed at her.
" You're going too. "
" ...AAAH!! " the ouji screamed suddenly, then ducked behind Goku, " TAKE HIM! HE PUT ME UP TO IT! IT'S ALL
KAKARROT'S FAULT!! " Vegeta pointed at him.
" DON'T YOU SEND EITHER ONE OF THEM TO JAIL!!! GO-CHAN BECAUSE IT'S NOT HIS FAULT, AND THE OUJI BECAUSE I'VE GOT TO
KEEP AN EYE ON HIM! Besides, nobody actually killed me anyway. " Chi-Chi explained.
" Does that mean I have to go to "pretend jail"? " Goku gulped.
" Well Toussan the law says you could get up 6 months for this 'prank' you and Vegeta pulled. " Gohan nodded.
" You know what, brat? As long as you're sending Kakarrotto and I up the river, how about fixing one of those cages
for us to share, " Vegeta smirked evilly at Chi-Chi, who returned it with a death-glare, " We could be cell-mates. "
" OVER MY DEAD BODY ARE YOU GOING TO BE ANY TYPE OF "MATE" TO MY GO-CHAN!!! " Chi-Chi screamed in his face.
The ouji mused, " You know what, Onna. I'd say you would be partially correct with that statement. "
Chi-Chi held her fist infront of his face, " Care to repeat that? " she asked flatly.
" Maybe. "
" *glare* "
" *smirk* "
" Heh-heh-heh-heh. " Goku laughed nervously, " Say Veggie, where'd you get all the butter to fill that pot anyway? "
he grinned, trying to change the subject.
" That's not butter. " Vegeta blinked. Chi-Chi froze, inspecting the towel she had dried herself off with, " It's
I-can't-believe-it's-an-artificial-butter-like-substitute. "
" ... " everyone stared at him, bewildered.
" It's FAKE BUTTER! IT'S A FACTORY THAT MAKES FAKE BUTTER!! WE'VE BEEN DOING FAKE/PRETEND THINGS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE
STORY! THE BUTTER'S JUST ANOTHER PART OF THE BIG RUNNING GAG!! " Vegeta exclaimed, " Bakayaroes. " he muttered.
" But how did you even know this place was here? " Videl asked.
" You think I spend ALL my time training and conceiving evil plots? HA! " Vegeta scoffed, " Bul-chan had some stock
in the company but it went under before they had a chance to start selling the product in this particular part of the
country. Since the company was now out of money they had no choice but to get rid of their factories. This happens to be one
of them that I saw on the news. I figured it would be a good hideout if the circumstances for such an event were to occur. "
" ...I have no idea what little Veggie just said. " Goku said, drawing a blank. He grinned, " But it sounded very
smart so I'm PROUD of him! " he gave the ouji a quick hug.
" Heh-heh. " Vegeta smirked.
" I don't suppose you could throw us in "pretend" jail instead, eh? " Goku offered.
" Nope. " Gohan replied, then thought for a moment, " I suppose I could put you both in a lockdown for a couple
months. "
Goku smiled, " Would there be food? "
" Would there be bathrooms? " the ouji asked.
" Sure! " he nodded.
" And exactly WHERE do you plan to put them in "lockdown" anyway? " Chi-Chi eyed him up warningly.
Gohan laughed nervously, " Don't worry Kaasan! They won't be in the same room! Heck, they won't even be in the same
building. "
Chi-Chi smiled at him, " Really? "
" Yeah. I thought we could impose a lockdown, or in layman's terms, banish them to their rooms for a couple months. "
" You mean under this "legal punishment" I could actually keep my Go-chan away from the Ouji for a full-- "
" --3 to 4-- "
" --3 to 4 MONTHS? " Chi-Chi grinned.
" Well, yes. " Gohan sweatdropped, " But, but he'd have to stay in his room the whole time. You know, except when he
has to go to the bathroom. We could slip him food through the door. " he pointed to Goku.
" Gohan--YOU'RE BRILLIANT! " Chi-Chi wrapped him up in a big hug, " Oh you make me proud to have given birth to you,
you BRILLAINT little genius/crime fighter of a son of mine! "
" Heh-heh...heh. " an even larger sweatdrop appeared on the side of Gohan's head.
" You mean I have to stay--in ONE ROOM--FOR THREE-- "
" --to four-- "
" --MONTHS!! " Goku shrieked in horror, " But, that's IMPOSSIBLE! THAT'S CRUELTY TO ANIMALS! THAT'S-- "
" --the legal system at work. " Videl slapped a pair of handcuffs on the large saiyajin's wrists, " You have the
right to remain silent. All you say and do can be held against you in a court of law! "
" Eeeh... " Goku whinced at the handcuffs, " You're gonna take these off right? "
" As soon as we get you home dear. " Chi-Chi patted him on the back as Videl led Goku out to the Saiyamobile and sat
him next to Goten, who was still chewing a piece of bubblegum.
Chi-Chi smirked at Vegeta, who was snarling at her through his teeth. She turned to Gohan, " May I? " she asked,
holding out her hand.
Gohan face-faulted, " If you really wanna--? " he held out the handcuffs.
" YES! " she happily, then walked over to Vegeta with a grin on her face, " Hello, Ouji! " Chi-Chi slapped the
handcuffs over his wrists, " You are under arrest for kidnapping, mental torture, and for being an evil manipulating little
jerk! "
" Enjoying this, aren't you, Onna? " Vegeta asked wryly.
" You bet I am! " she patted him on the shoulder, " Alright, "Saiyaman". Take him away! "
" Hai! " Gohan said, pushing Vegeta out the door.
" If you think you can keep me locked away for 4 months then you're crazy, Onna!! YOU CAN'T IGNORE WHAT ISN'T THERE!
YOU CAN'T KEEP KAKA-CHAN LOCKED UP FOREVER ANY MORE THAN YOU CAN ME!! YOU JUST WAIT, FOUR MONTHS FROM NOW I'LL PERFECT A PLOT
SO POWERFUL YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP ME EVEN WITH YOUR PRECIOUS HALF-KAKA'D-SPAWN!! "
Gohan slapped a piece of duct tape over Vegeta's mouth.
" MMPH-MMMPHA!!! MPH MMMPHA MMPH!!!! " the ouji screamed, muffled through the tape.
" Why thank you, Gohan-chan. That was getting quite ANNOYING. " Chi-Chi said to him.
" You're welcome Kaasan. " Gohan led them to the car and sat Vegeta in the backseat. Chi-Chi squished in next to Goku
and Goten.
Gohan got in the drivers seat and sighed with relief as he started up the car.
" Well, I guess that's the last we'll be seeing of the "Masked Avenger", eh? " Videl smirked at her partner.
" Pretty much. " Gohan smiled weakly, " At least, for another several months, anyway. " he added, mumbling, then
grinned at the gang, " EVERYBODY READY! "
Videl froze and hung on for dear life, " I suggest you buckle you're seatbelts. " she turned towards the people in
the back of the car.
" Why? " Chi-Chi asked. Goku looked at his handcuffed hands, then at his un-buckled seat belt and gulped.
Videl let out a big breath, " You'll find out in 5 seconds. "
" Five--? " she glanced over at Goku, " Five secoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! "
Chi-Chi screamed in horror along with the rest of the passangers as the Saiyamobile sped off into the distance. Goku squealed
with excitement and grinned at Chi-Chi.
" I LOVE THIS CAR!!! " he hooted, " Hey Chi-Chi! You think Bulma could make ME one of these? " Goku shouted above the
wind.
She screamed back at him, " NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!!! "

9:15 PM 7/31/2002
THE END!
Chuquita: (sigh of relief) Whew! I thought I'd never get that done in time for tommorow, err, Thursday..oh you know what I
mean! (to audiance) Well, at least I've finally caught up with all the backed-up fics I had from ff.net's temporary shutdown.
Don't expect anything for Friday because, well, I don't have anything ready for Friday yet. In fact, if you were able to look
in my desktop folder you wouldn't find anything in there that I already haven't posted.
Goku: (sadly) Aww, poor Chu.
Chuquita: (to Son) No, this is a good thing. It means I'm finally back on schedule. So you can probably expect two chapters
of stuff per week. Maybe three a week if I'm really on a roll. But unless we have another major shutdown for some reason I
doubt you're gonna get the one-per-day thing I've been doing for the past couple weeks.
Goku: (adjusts his 'hat') Heeheehee.
Vegeta: (glaring up at the fic)
Chuquita: (to Veggie) You got a problem, short-stuff?
Vegeta: (still glaring) I lost.
Chuquita: (shrugs) Well, yeah.
Vegeta: I lost AND got arrested at the SAME TIME.
Chuquita: That's the way the cookie crumbles, or the way the lemon squeezes, or the way the water evaporates.
Vegeta: But I STILL lost...AGAIN.
Chuquita: (sighs) Must you be so persistant.
Vegeta: It's part of my character. [yelps as something stings him in the back of the head] [picks the object up] A marble??
Goku: (grinning) [snaps another marble out of the silk pink panties from before as if using a sling-shot] Heads up little
Veggie!
Vegeta: GAK! [catches the marble right before it hits him in the eyes] [examines the marble] (yelps) KAKARROTTO WHAT ARE YOU
DOING WITH THESE!!!
Goku: They're just marbles.
Vegeta: THEY ARE _NOT_ MARBLES THEY ARE SAIYAJIN SPHERES OF _POWER_! [lightning crashes in the backround] They double the
strength of the user and are yet another piece of property belonging to the royal family. THEY ARE NOT TO BE USED IN A
SLING-SHOT!!!
Goku: (giggles) [holds up the underwear] This is not a sling-shot little buddy 'o mine.
Vegeta: (shrieks) [grabs the underwear out of Son's hands] I THOUGHT I PUT THESE AWAY ALREADY!!
Goku: (grins impishly) I took 'um out when you weren't lookin.
Vegeta: (grumbles as he places the underwear back in its drawer) Stupid *mumble* *mumble* bakayaro!...*grumble*...
Chuquita: (smirks) Poor Veggie, so sensitive about his undergarments.
Vegeta: (to Chu) AND YOU STAY OUT OF MY THINGS TOO! THIS TOUR IS OFFICALLY OVER!!!
Goku: He's right Chu, the story's over also.
Chuquita: Hey, _I_ wasn't the one eating M-n-M's out of your SOCK DRAWER, Veggie!
Goku: (burps)
Vegeta: (turns a pale green) You DO know how long those things have been sitting in there, don't you Kakarrot?
Goku: (groans) I do now. [rushes out of the room and heads for the toilet]
[Chu & Veggie cringe; barfing noises can be heard in the backround]
Chuquita: Eew.
Vegeta: Regurgitated food leaves much to be desired. [sticks his tongue out in disgust]
Chuquita: You know today's Corner actually does a pretty good job in leading into our next story.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) [puts his hand on his forehead] Why do I have the feeling this is going to be a painful one.
Chuquita: Well, I'm pretty much decided on doing #4 on my list and THEN #2. Probably like 80% sure. So if I do do this one
first, here's the summary!
4) Underwear. We all wear it; well--most of us. Bulma decides to invite a famous fashion designer to Capsule Corp. But what
happens when the fashion designer decides Veggie would be perfect for modeling her new line of underwear? Will Veggie go
through with it? Will he make it down the catwalk without blasting the audiance into oblivion? How will Chi-Chi and Goku
react to this one? Will Veggie be able to use his new "underwear model" title to his advantage? And what happens when the
papers suddenly start blasting rumors about his personal life? Find out!
Vegeta: (eyes go wide) (shocked) (squeaks out) You can't be serious, can you?
Chuquita: (happily) Aww, come on Veggie! It'll be different, it'll be fun! Besides I'm keepin it G-rated so trust me nothing
to weird's gonna happen to you.
Goku: (stumbles back into the room) Veggie, *urp* I couldn't make it to the toilet in time, so I puked in the pair of briefs
you left in the hallway. [holds a pair of white briefs up which are now dripping with half-digested M-n-M's]
Vegeta: (to Chu) (flatly) Is that weird enough for ya?
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Eew. Son-San throw those away!
Vegeta: Even _I_ don't want that pair NOW, Kakarrotto.
Goku: Oh, *urp*. Oh-kay. [walks out of the room to trash the vomit-enhanced undies]
Chuquita: (to audiance) Oh! Before we go I have to put up a link to these two funny little screenshots I found on a site
Nekoni told me about.
http://www.wild-swans.net/wings/humor/mermaid.jpg This is from an actual episode which is gonna air this fall. Apparently
Veggie fell asleep on the beach and Trunks and Goten are covering him with sand and making it look like from the waist down
that the snoozin ouji is a mermaid. (grins widely) I cracked up when I first saw it. Here's the other one.
http://www.wild-swans.net/wings/humor/kakdoll.jpg Baby Trunks has an little Goku plushie in his crib! The person circled
where it's at in the screenshot. This was way back in the Cell saga and for the life of me I never noticed it after all those
times they played those episodes on Cartoon Network.
Vegeta: (sarcasm) Lovely.
Chuquita: You know I was gonna wait for DBZOA to get to the last 6 episode summaries so I could make sure, but I think I've
leveled the Veggie-mermaid picture down to episode 285 (I think that's the number) "Friend of Justice, Majin Buu?" Because I
know it's gotta be from a filler and Trunks and Goten are still young but Goten's hair looks like it's starting to grow out
to where it ended up at the last couple episodes. Or maybe his hair's just wet. Who knows. (shrugs)
Vegeta: (sweatdrops at the picture) The fact that this even happened is beyond me.
Chuquita: (smiling) Yeah, well. Every once in a while I need a little reminder of why I love this show.
Vegeta: My embarassing moments?
Chuquita: (thinks) Well, that's part of it. (to audiance) One more thing before we say see you later. I didn't realize till
someone wished me a happy 50th fic back in "Stupified" so we're going to be celebrating our Happy 53rd fic in the next Corner
Vegeta: (confused) 53'rd? WHO CELEBRATES A _53RD_ STORY!!
Chuquita: People who forgot to celebrate on their 50th story, that's who.
Goku: (comes back into the room, color back in his face) (grinning) We've come a long way.
Chuquita: That we have, Son-kun. That we have. (to audiance) UNTIL NEXT TIME EVERBODY!
Goku: Remember, underwear is your friend! (giggles; holding up the pink undies from before)
Vegeta: WHERE DO YOU KEEP GETTING THOSE!! PUT THEM BACK NOW!! [bops him over the head]
Goku: Heeheehee! [hands them over to Veggie]
Vegeta: (growling) Honestly! The things I put up with--BAKA!!
