Quote of the Week: -from "Spongebob Squarepants"
Plankton: I love messin things up!
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: (grinning) And so do I. Today in Part 2's Corner we're gonna talk about someone who's had so many firsts in this
whole little escapade that it ain't funny.
Goku: (cheers) VEGGIE!
Chuquita: (happily) That's right!
Goku: (happily) That's amazing!
Vegeta: (happily) That's me!
Chuquita: ...
Goku: ...
Vegeta: (shouts) WHAT!! I CAN'T BE HAPPY EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND _NOT_ GET STARED AT LIKE I'VE LOST MY MIND!!!
Chuquita: Nope. Veggie I think that's pretty much impossible.
Goku: (creeped out) Little Veggie scares me when he's cheerful.
Vegeta: (glares at Son) And you like me better ANGRY, FRUSTRATED, AND IN A STUBBORN MOOD INSTEAD?!
Goku: (grins) Yeah, cuz that's MY Veggie!
Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) I'll never understand you, Kakarrotto. [shakes his head]
Goku: Neither will I! (big 'ol smile)
Vegeta: [elbows Chu] Getting back to the subject of ME...
Chuquita: (slightly annoyed) I'm going I'm going!!! (under her breath) Honestly... [turns to audiance] Veggie has done many
'firsts' things in our stories and the Corners.
Vegeta: (nods proudly)
Chuquita: (to Veggie) You better not sponge this into your ego that's for sure.
Vegeta: And why not? I _AM_ #1.
Chuquita: Vedge you keep that attitude up and I'll nix your little poll in the next fic before it's even started.
Vegeta: ...I'm shutting up. [turns the other way and whistles to himself, then grabs a piece of paper and a pencil and starts
doodling]
Chuquita: As you may or not know, Veggie here was the first dbz character to appear in a pre-dbz-fic I wrote, the first word
in the first title of my first dbz fic and the first person to speak the first word of my first dbz fic.
Goku: (grinning slyly) [nudging the ouji] And what was Veggie's first word again?
Vegeta: (grumbles) mmphamph.
Goku: (giggles) I didn't hear that!
Vegeta: *sigh* "KAKOROT".
Goku: (grins) (to Chu) In CAPS no less!
Vegeta: Yes, that was before 'genius' over here learned the correct spelling to Kakarrotto's name.
Chuquita: Don't test me, Veggie. I will grab that poll and send it through the shredder RIGHT NOW.
Vegeta: (smirks) We don't HAVE a shredder.
Chuquita: ...then I'll zap one up! [threateningly holds up the Big Book of Author Spells]
Vegeta: (pale) Uhhhhh, fine. I'll "play along".
Chuquita: (to Son) You know I had no idea that using you two in the first scene would end me up here.
Goku: Well I'm glad you did. We saiyajins are very entertaining creatures! (big stupid grin)
Chuquita: Yeah, I've noticed. (to audiance) Veggie was also the first 'addition' to the Corner when it first began changing
from being my author's note to this little side-story-ish place. (to Veggie) You know you were SUPPOSED to be only a GUEST
for ONE FIC.
Vegeta: (snickers evilly) And yet here I am, nearly 60 Corners (beginning and end ones) later. Slowly driving you all insane.
(grins) It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it! By the way, I've picked out a "Quote of the Week" for my future
VICTORY-FIC once I've beaten Onna to a pulp in the polls. (pulls out a piece of paper) Shall I read it? (evil smirk)
Chuquita: (bluntly) No.
Vegeta: It's from episode #278. And it HAPPENS to be made by KAKARROTTO speaking to ME about ONNA. (fake-gasp) Isn't that
exciting?
Chuquita: Veggie will you hold it in for 2 seconds! You're more hyped up about this than some other people I know.
Vegeta: That's because, Chu, _I_ know that once this "bill" becomes a "law" that you won't let anything TOO weird or
embarassing fall upon my person because you're a SMART person.
Chuquita: Vedge.
Vegeta: And SMART people ALWAYS choose the SMARTER saiyajin as their favorite.
Chuquita: (ticked) VEDGE!
Vegeta: Of course, the smarter of the two saiyajins being myself--
Goku: (shouts) VEGGIE!
Vegeta: (turns to him) What?
Chuquita: (sigh) Thank you, Son-kun.
Goku: Do not mention it. (smile)
Chuquita: (to audiance) Speaking of "firsts" I've decided to give Part 2's Corners a little cameo by my first homemade
character from my first story. Veggy!! [looks left, then right, confused] ....uhhh. Veggy!!!
Veggy: [cleaning the Corner desk with a wet rag] (cheerfully) Hello Chu-sama!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Veggy, sit down.
Veggy: Hold on. [zips around the gang with lightning speed, then stops in the same spot he left in; the cupcake-crumbed table
is now perfectly clean]
Chuquita: (jaw hangs open) Holy---err, Veggy, sit down.
Veggy: But I missed a spot.
Chuquita: Forget about it, just sit--
Veggy: (roars in Veggie-wrath-like voice) I SAID I MISSED A SPOT NOW LET ME CLEAN IT OFF!!!! [does so; then sits down]
(cheerful again) Now what is it you wanted to talk to me about?
[Chu and Veggie are clinging onto Son for dear life. All three terrified]
Chuquita: Uh, heh-heh-heh. [gets back into her chair, embarassed] Veggy here was an android created by the aliens who
kidnapped our Veggie in the first fic and sent Veggy to Earth to replace him and keep the Z gang happy enough not to want to
rescue the real Veggie. I brought him back in a sequel where Bura got kidnapped and Veggie was too sick to help Son save her
so Bulma plugged in Veggy's backup program which makes him act like the real Veggie however she screwed up, his previous
program over-rode it, and now he has a sort of Lunch complex.
Vegeta: (grumbles) Yeah, thanks Bulma. Thanks a lot.
Goku: (whispers to him) Bulma's not here, Veggie.
Vegeta: I know that.
Goku: ???
Chuquita: (turns to Veggy) Veggy would you care to do the honors?
Veggy: (happily) Yes, yes I would!! (to audiance) On with Part 2 everybody!!!!
Summary: 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!
Goku: (proudly) My first words were "Mmph Mmph!"
Veggy: (sweatdrops) Really?
Vegeta: (groan) He had his mouth full.
Chuquita: (sarcasm) There's a big surprise.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Ahh, what a BEAUTIFUL DAY! " Chi-Chi grinned as she stood outside the Son home and stretched her arms outward,
" The Sun is out, the breeze is cool, and no Ouji in sight! "
" Veggie? " Goku poked his head out of the doorway behind her, looking around.
" No, Go-chan. No "Veggie". " she said with relief, " You know I'm so glad he signed that contract yesterday. Just
think! If he has to start hopping all over the globe for this 'modeling' thing we may be able to go days without seeing his
ugly little ouji face! "
" Days? " Goku frowned.
" Or maybe even weeks! "
" Weeks? "
" Or months! " Chi-Chi smiled widely.
" MONTHS? "
She turned around and sweatdropped to see the large saiyajin's eyes welled up with tears, " Oh, Goku don't worry
about it. We don't need that short nosy lil jerk. "
" Muh--MONTHS?? " Goku sputtered, " Chi-chan I don't wanna go without my little Veggie for whole MONTHS at a time!
That's just not RIGHT! You don't do that to little buddies, you know? Wha, what if he forgets all about me? I don't want my
little Veggie to forget about me, Chi-chan. " he sniffled.
" Ugh. Goku, first of all he's not YOUR little Veggie, and second, that ouji couldn't forget you if he tried. " she
answered wryly, " Besides, he'll be TV and all over the world. Since you care about your 'little buddy' so much wouldn't it
feel great to share in that, uh, "joy" with everyone else on the entire planet? "
" ... "
" ... "
" NO!! NEVER NEVER NEVER!! " the bigger saiyajin wailed, " YOU CAN'T SHARE LITTLE BUDDIES, CHI-CHAN!!! THAT'S NOT HOW
IT WORKS!!! " he exclaimed, then calmed down, " It's just that I'm afraid they won't know how to treat Veggie. He has such
specific needs and he gets pretty upset when they're not met. Plus I can't trust that lady to take care of little Veggie the
way I take care of him. He needs to be watched over or else he starts doing bad things. "
" I'm sure Ms. La Flu will take VERY good care of the ouji. He doesn't need you to act like his babysitter, Go-chan.
The ouji's practically 4 years OLDER than you are! " Chi-Chi said.
" Five. "
" What? "
" Veggie's 5 years older than me. " Goku corrected her, " He's a Capricorn actually. "
" Goku. "
" Yeah, Veggie taught me how to read the horoscopes in the newspaper. I read mine today and it said that today is a
good day for me to play the lottery. " Goku laughed, " Or to travel. I forget which one. "
" GOKU! "
" Yes Chi-chan? " he cocked his head at her.
" Just go water the garden for me will you. " she groaned, handing him the watering can, " It'll get your mind off
that stupid ouji. " Chi-Chi headed for the hammock Goku had hung on the two trees on the side of the house, " I'm going to
rest for a little while. Wake me in 10 minutes oh-kay sweetie. "
" K. " he nodded, then watched Chi-Chi settle down into the hammock on her back. He headed for the nearby river,
scooped some water out of it, then walked back to the small garden and started to water it, " Maybe Chi-chan's right. " Goku
said as the water sprinkled out onto the patch of grass, " Maybe I should stop worrying about Veggie. " he smiled, " Yup! I
am sure little Veggie is going to do just fine without me! "
" *beepBEEPbeepBEEP*!! " an obscenely large limousine appeared out of nowhere gliding down past the Son home and
coming to a complete stop next to Goku. The saiyajin blinked, confused. His hand still holding the tilted watering can which
was continuing to sprinkle overtop of the ground. The backseat door to the limo swung open to reveal a familiar character
smiling at him. Goku grinned.
" LITTLE VEGGIE! "
" Hey Kakarrotto. " the ouji waved, " Wanna come to Paris with me? "
" YAY! ROAD TRIP WITH VEGGIE! " Goku cheered, then paused, looking over his shoulder at the sleeping Chi-Chi, " Ohhh,
Veggie I don't know if I could come. " he said in a quieter voice, " I mean, Chi-chan's over there and she-- "
" --Onna? " Vegeta cocked his head upward enough to see the sleeping figure in the hammock. He snickered, " HA! Well
well well, I guess even demons need to sleep. "
Goku watched Chi-Chi and nodded sadly, " Little Veggie I can't just leave Chi-chan on a road trip without telling her
. Maybe I should ask--- "
" NO NO NO! " Vegeta panically waved his arms in the air, " Don't tell Onna! "
" Wuh--why not? " Goku looked at him, baffled.
" You wouldn't want to wake her up from her 'beauty sleep'. And you'll only be gone for today. " the smaller saiyajin
added, " I'm not going to go off somewhere without at least ONE familiar face, eh? "
" Well.... " Goku trailed off.
The ouji smirked, feeling he had the upper hand, " Come on, Kakay. Don't you want to have one more "buddy day" before
I get my picture taken and become famous? "
" Mmm, OH-KAY! " Goku grinned, dropping the watering can to the floor.
" Uhh? " Chi-Chi mumbled, faintly opening her eyes.
Vegeta scooched over along with La Flu, who was on the far side of the seat, " There's a cushion right here with your
name on it 'big buddy'. " he patted the seat.
" That's funny. I don't see Son Goku written anywhere on this seat cushion, Veggie. " Goku scratched his head as he
stared down at the seat.
" It's printed very small. " Vegeta cut him short, " Now get in. "
" Alright. " Goku said, then tip-toed slowly over to the limo and reached for door, " But we gotta be quick, oh-kay.
I don't wanna be gone from Chi-chan too long. "
" You got it, Kaka-chan. " the smaller saiyajin smirked, then reached out and grabbed Goku by the hand to help him
inside. Chi-Chi's eyes flew open and she sat up with a shock to see Goku was now halfway into the back of a limousine with a
shorter figure smiling evilly from inside.
" AHH! " she shrieked. Vegeta looked up to see her and panicked, " OUJI! " Chi-Chi shouted, trying to get out of the
hammock.
" Quick! Kakarrotto inside! " Vegeta tugged the other saiyajin harder.
" Uh, uh, ohhhh! " Goku bit his lip, then yelped as Vegeta pulled him inside. Goku nervously strapped himself in and
reached for the door.
" YOU LET HIM OUT OF THERE OUJI!! " Chi-Chi stumbled over to the limo, " YOU DON'T OWN HIM!! "
" Actually, I do. But that's beside the point. " Vegeta shrugged carelessly, then turned to Goku, " You want to come
with me, don't you Kakay-chan? "
Goku stared at him, then stared up sadly at Chi-Chi, " Please lemmie take care of my little Veggie, Chi-chan. It'll
just be for today, then Veggie says he can drop me off home please! " he pleaded.
" I--NO! NO YOU CAN'T! NOW GET OUT OF THAT OUJI-MOBILE AND GET BACK TO THE GARDEN! " Chi-Chi demanded.
" Hmmph. Making Kakay do your baka Onna-chores while you lounge around in that portable piece of cloth. That's not
very nice of you you know. " Vegeta narrowed his eyes at her, disgusted.
" OOH!!! I WAS JUST GOING TO REST FOR A FEW MINUTES! AND I HAD GOKU WATER THE GARDEN SO HE COULD GET HIS MIND OFF OF
YOU!!! Really, it's none of your business in the least what we do. " Chi-Chi folded her arms, insulted.
The ouji smirked evilly, " Kakay couldn't get his mind off me, eh? " he rubbed his hands together maniacally, " How
very intreging. "
" Grr, I didn't mean it THAT WAY!! " Chi-Chi shouted.
" Ooh Veggie you better not tease Chi-chan or I WILL get out. " Goku threatened him. The prince paused for a moment.
" I'm not teasing her, Kakay. I'm merely relaying the truth to her. And for Onna the truth happens to be VERY hard to
swallow. " he patted Goku on the head; which seemed awkward because Vegeta had to unbuckle himself just to reach the top of
the other saiyajin's head.
" Chi-chan I'll only be gone for one day. I'll come right back after that I promise! " Goku begged her, " Please let
me at least make sure Veggie is going to be alright! "
" Well...fine, Goku, you can go. " Chi-Chi hung her head.
" YES! " Goku hooted, pumping his arm in the air. Vegeta was doing a little victory dance in the backround. Chi-Chi
rolled her eyes at him before he realized the others were staring. Vegeta's face flushed and he sat back down and buckled up,
" I guess I'll be seeing you then Chi-chan! " Goku smiled.
" Yes. " Chi-Chi nodded, then zipped into the house only to zip out again, " Just wait one minute! " she said, then
re-zipped in and out to return with a bundle of electronic equipment. Goku gawked at the sight and Vegeta just looked on,
annoyed with how long this was taking.
" WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!! " Goku shrieked as she plopped the items in his lap.
" Oh, just some things I bought for Gohan so I would know where he was at all times. " Chi-Chi said, then strapped a
watch around Goku's wrist, " This watch is set for 24 hours and will let you know when your ouji-time is up by beeping
freakishly loudly. This is a crash helmet to keep your brain intact. And this-- " she held up a newer piece of equipment,
" --is something I bought off the home-shopping-channel last night. " she strapped what looked like a metal collar with
little blinking red lights around Goku's neck, " It's a Ouji-Repellent-System. That short little creep gets ANY of his smelly
body parts anywhere near YOUR sweet-smelling body parts and he gets fried by 1,000,000,000,000,000 volts of electricity on
site. "
Vegeta sweatdropped at the device around Goku's neck.
" Wuh, won't _I_ get shocked too? " Goku asked, worried.
" Oh NO, honey. It won't shock you. It's immune to frying your body. " Chi-Chi gave him a kiss on the cheek, " Now
you take care now--OH! " she grabbed another object and strapped it around his waist like a belt, " This is a high-tech
camera device I hooked up to the TV so I can see everything that's going on just by flipping to a certain channel. Isn't
technology GREAT! " she hugged Goku tightly, then let go.
" Heh-heh. Yeah...great. " Goku laughed nervously.
" Alright then. I'll be seeing you soon Go-chan! " Chi-Chi waved as she went back in the house. Goku waited until she
closed the door, then chucked the helmet out the window and closed the car door. He pouted.
" Chi-chan doesn't TRUST me Veggie. " he sniffled, feeling slightly betrayed.
" Of COURSE she doesn't trust you Kakarrotto. " Vegeta chuckled, playing along, " But _I_ TRUST you. Now why don't
you take off all that 'equipment' and we can get going! " he grinned.
" But Chi-chan said-- "
" Kakarrotto, think of how PROUD "Chi-chan" will be of you if you can manage to get through today WITHOUT any special
type of security. You'll prove you're her equal as an adult. "
" Yeah. " Goku smiled.
" You'll be able to show that you CAN be mature. "
" YEAH. "
" And you CAN control your natural Kaka-urges to literally hug the life out of me! "
" YEAH!! " Goku squealed at the top of his lungs, " I CAN DO IT!! " he whooped, then threw his waistband and collar
out the window also.
" Uh, what about the watch? " Vegeta pointed to it.
" Oh. I, I still need that. " Goku responded, " I, umm, can't tell time that well. " he mumbled, slightly embarassed.
" Very well then. " Vegeta nodded, " Say that thing doesn't have any cameras in it, right? "
" No, that was the belt. " Goku said.
" Good. " the ouji sat back and sighed happily, " DRIVER! WE'RE OFF! "
" Wow, so this is it, huh? " Vegeta marveled as the trio stood before a large jet.
" OOoooOOOOh. So pretty. " Goku said in awe as he floated up and around the private jet, examining it.
" Yes, the comfort level on Sunny Airlines is jacked up a bit from the others because they normally only reserve
their space to the rich and famous. " La Flu said as she made her way to the stairs.
" Well Veggie is rich and soon he is about to be famous too! " Goku grinned, " Right little Veggie! " he said eagerly
as he floated upside-down and facing Vegeta.
" Hai, Kakarrotto. I'd say that's correct. " Vegeta boasted as he too entered the plane. Goku following soon after.
He looked around in wonder at the many people sitting inside.
" Wow again, little Veggie. When I went on that plane with Kaio-sama we were like a few of the only people on it! "
Goku examined the crowd, then looked at his ticket. " 17B! " he chirped, then headed for the back of the plane, " 15, 16,
seven--HA! 17!! " he pointed to two empty seats, then pouted at his ticket.
" What's the matter NOW? " Vegeta demanded as he and La Flu headed towards him. Goku sadly pointed at window seat 17A
, then at his ticket, 17B. The two onlookers sweatdropped, " Let me guess, you want the window seat? " Vegeta said dryly.
Goku nodded quickly. Vegeta looked down at his own ticket; 17A, " Well would you look at this. It seems _I_ the GREAT
AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI, just HAPPEN to have ownership of the window-seat that Kakarrotto deeply desires to possess.
Funny how life works out huh, "big buddy". "
" Little Veggie gonna be a nice Veggie and trade tickets with me? " Goku sniffled, his eyes brimming with tears. A
big evil smile widened on Vegeta's face.
" Why YES, Kakarrotto. Little Veggie IS going to be nice and trade his ticket with you. " Vegeta said as he held out
the ticket, only to have Goku swap the two pieces of paper faster than the speed of light.
" YAY! WINDOW-SEAT! WINDOW-SEAT! I GET TO SIT IN THE WINDOW SEAT! " Goku chanted happily, then picked up Vegeta and
gave him a squeeze, " Oh THANK YOU little Veggie you are the GREATEST! "
" Heh-heh, heh. " Vegeta's face glowed bright red, " I am the greatest, aren't I... " he giggled, half-sane, then
stopped glowing abruptly when he noticed nearly everyone else in the plane staring at him; some stifling laughter, others
just looking on in shock; some in disgust; and others in pity, " WHAT'RE YOU LOOKIN AT!!! THERE'S NO SHOW HERE NOW GO BACK TO
YOUR PITIFUL EARTH DISTRACTIONS, HUMANS!!! " Vegeta snapped. La Flu rolled here eyes while ignoring them and reading one of
her own magazines in the seat infront of them; 16A, " For crying out loud! What pests! " Vegeta snorted, then returned to
glowing bright red for a moment more. He looked up at his hugger, " Alright, Kakarrot. I'm done now. "
" K, Veggie. " Goku set him down, then anxiously hopped in the window seat and smushed his face against the window.
Vegeta casually strolled to seat 17A's partner seat, 17B, and sat down as well.
" *Doodoodoo, doodooDOO doodoo!* " the airplane's window-washer whistled to himself as the wheeled-steps he was
standing upon moved from the front right side of the plane to the back right side of the plane. He got to row 17 and shrieked
at the hideous blob in the window making funny faces at him. Goku burst into laughter at the temporarily frightened window
washer, who was now temporarily mad at him. The window washer stepped forward the slap Goku's window with the rag in his hand
only to shriek as he slipped and fell downward, screaming for what seemed like an eternity until the sound of a object
hitting a large pillow-ish object could be heard. Goku sat back in his chair and giggled as the plane took off.
" We are now level and in the air, feel free to move about the cabin. " a voice on the intercom said several minutes
later. Goku looked around and shrugged. He glanced at his chair and stared in awe at the many buttons on it. His fingers
itched with curiousity and he pressed the largest most-dangerous-looking button he could find which sent his chair flying
downwards and his feet upwards until he was laying horizontal above the floor.
" Veggie! VEGGIE! " Goku called out, entertained. Vegeta glanced over at him, wearing the headseat that was connected
to the plane. He sweatdropped at the site next to him; namely Goku's feet--or boots if you prefer. Vegeta lowered the volume
on the headseat and took it off.
" Kakarrotto what are you doing NOW! " he said, slightly annoyed.
" Press the red button Veggie! Press it! " Goku said between guffals of laughter.
" No thank you, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta replyed, then resumed listening to his music.
Goku sat up where he was sitting, " Awww, come on Veggie! It's F-U-N, FUN! " he grinned at Vegeta, who had on his
usual get lost and leave me alone expression.
" N-O, NO! " Vegeta snapped, speaking louder than normal so he could hear himself above the music in his ears.
Goku sighed, depressed, " Alright Veggie. " he layed back down, then quickly sat up again, pressed the red button on
Vegeta's chair, and zipped back down again. Vegeta yelped as his seat too fell back into the same position. Goku giggled at
him.
" Kakarrotto... " Vegeta said warningly.
" Lighten up little Veggie. Isn't this FUN! " Goku pointed to the ceiling which they were now both staring up at.
" No because A, I can no longer listen to the radio, " Vegeta pointed to his headset, which was now dangling in
mid-air above his body, " And B because this means I TRADED SEATS WITH YOU AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN LOOKING OUT THE STUPID WINDOW
ANYMORE!!! "
" Sheesh Veggie you're such a grump when Chi-chan's not around. " Goku frowned, then broke into a smile, " But I LIKE
you that way cuz that's genuine Veggie-ness! " he swooshed his arm past himself as if he were making a deal.
" Uh-huh. " Vegeta sweatdropped, " Now how about pressing the button that puts my chair back in the position it's
SUPPOSED to be in. " he said, ticked.
" ... "
" ... "
" You don't know which button puts these chairs back in their upright position, do you, Kakarrot? " Vegeta narrowed
his eyes at the ceiling.
" ...no Veggie. No I don't. " Goku responded.
" WELL THAT'S JUST GREAT! " Vegeta yelled angrily, then snorted and folded his arms, " So much for my music! "
Goku blinked for a moment, then broke into an all-out grin which said nothing but "I have an idea". He turned to
Vegeta, with the same grin still plastered on his face, " Hey Veggie? "
" Whatever you're thinking, the answer is no. " Vegeta said flatly.
" I could sing music to you little Veggie. " Goku said happily, ignoring the prince's comment.
" Kakarrotto, I'd rather go to sleep--in fact, I think I will. " Vegeta turned so his back was facing Goku and
prepared to doze off.
" Well then maybe I could sing you a lullaby! " Goku patted the ouji on the head. Vegeta grabbed Goku's arm before it
could finish it's third pat.
" I don't want you to sing to me Kakarrotto, I want you to let me fall asleep by myself. Got it? " he let go of
Goku's arm. The larger saiyajin only smiled down warmly at the smaller one.
" Hmm. " Goku let out a chuckle just as Vegeta closed his eyes, " Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep lit-tle
Veh-gee... " the ouji's right eye popped wide open and his whole body began to twitch with anger and embarassment, " Say
good-night, and sweet-dreams, and I for-get the rest of the song. " Goku sang happily. Vegeta was able to untense his anger
now that Goku had ended his little song and slowly began to fall asleep only to suddenly yelp as something grabbed him from
behind. Vegeta sweatdropped and glared tiredly over his shoulder at Goku, who giggled, " Sleepytime hugs. "
" WILL YOU LET GO OF ME!! " Vegeta wiggled out of the hug, glowing bright red, " I can't go 2 SECONDS without you
doing SOMETHING to embarass me on this plane! We're not at my house anymore Kakarrot, WE'RE IN A PLANE FULL OF PEOPLE!!! "
" ... " Goku stared at him, hurt. Vegeta bit his lip, ready to apologize if necessary. Instead of sobbing, Goku sat
up and waved to the rest of the people in the cabin, " HI PLANE FULL OF PEOPLE!! " he shouted loudly.
" Ohhhh! " Vegeta cupped his face in his hands and groaned, then layed back down on his chair, " GOODNIGHT,
Kakarrot. "
" Goodnight my little ouji. " Goku saluted him, then leaned back himself and stared at the ceiling, " ..hey Veggie? "
" What NOW! " Vegeta gritted through his teeth.
" You know what I bet would get you to sleep a lot faster? "
" Having you thrown out of this plane? " Vegeta remarked sarcastically.
" Nooooooo, silly! A pillow and a blanket! Those things always help me sleep better when I'm in a strange place. "
" You certainly ARE strange, Kakarrotto. "
" They normally keep that stuff in the compartments above our heads....I wonder... " Goku rubbed his chin, then
kicked his foot up and hit one of the compartments, causing a pillow and blanket to fall down onto of the ouji, " WOW! I sure
AM lucky today! Boy was my horoscope right on the button today, eh Veggie? I SHOULD buy a lottery ticket! "
Vegeta once again twitched in anger underneath the pillow and blanket, " Yes, Kakarrotto. Lucky you... "
" *BOUNCE*BOUNCE*BOUNCE*!!! "
" Ehhhh.... " Vegeta blinked, slowly opening his eyes to see a larger figure bouncing up and down beside him. He
groaned, flipped over, and covered his head with the airline pillow.
" VeggieVeggie time to wake up! " Goku said happily. He momentarily stopped bouncing, then grinned, lept up as high
as he could, then bounced back down; the force sending Vegeta flying up off the chair headfirst into the ceiling. Goku
sweatdropped, " Oops. " he cringed.
" Mr. Oujisama, we're here. " La Flu shouted up at him. Vegeta gave her a weak thumbs-up, then yelped as he fell back
onto his chair. He grabbed the sides of his head in pain and groaned.
" Stupid...*grumble*grumble*...HEY! WHERE DID ALL THE PEOPLE GO!! " Vegeta bolted up, looking around the empty
airplane, which now only held himself, Goku, and La Flu.
" Oh, they've been gone for about 2 hours now. " Goku shrugged, pausing from his bounces.
" WHAT!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU TOO MORONS WAKE ME UP!!! " Vegeta snapped at them.
" Well you need to be at your most rested for the runway. " La Flu said, " And your large friend says you're cranky
if you don't get your naps in during the afternoon. "
" Oh. Good point. " Vegeta nodded, getting off his chair and walking out of the plane, " Say, you didn't do anything
TOO EMBARASSING to me while I was asleep, DID you, Kakarrotto? " he asked as they left.
" Nah, now why would I embarass you, little Veggie. " Goku laughed it off, " All I told them was you were getting
your beauty rest for your lil photo shoot is all. " he rubbed his chin in thought, " Then this one guy said, "Where, Baby
Gap?" And then everybody else started laughing and then I laughed a little too but I really didn't know what they were
laughing about so I guess it wasn't really that funny after all. "
Vegeta's arms hung at his sides; mortified. He slapped himself on the forehead and slowly moved his hand down to
cover his face, " Now WHY did I decide to bring Kakarrotto with me again?! "
" Oh Go-chan! " Chi-Chi said as she dashed back out of the house, " Your forgot your tracking device--AHH! " she
shrieked at the site of all the electronic equipment she had placed on the saiyajin now sitting on the front lawn. Her face
turned a pale green and she screamed up at the sky, " NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CURSE YOU, OUJI!! "
" Oh yeah! Now I remember! " Vegeta grinned happily. He turned to Goku, " Come Kakarrotto, my appointment awaits! "
Goku cheered, " YAY! "
" Wow, big room. " the ouji mumbled as the small group now stood in a hotel room.
" This will be your dressing room. " La Flu said as she guided the two saiyajins around.
" Heh-heh. Hear that Kakarrotto? My DRESSING ROOM! " Vegeta ribbed him.
" Don't you think it's kinda big for such a little buddy? " Goku said to La Flu in awe.
" Nonsense Kakarrotto! NOTHING is TOO BIG for me! " the smaller saiyajin snorted, " You're my "buddy" and you're
what, 5 inches taller than me. "
" Actually, a foot and a half little Veggie. " Goku corrected him.
The ouji scowled up at the larger saiyajin, then snorted and continued walking through the room only to sit down on
a nearby couch.
" Here Mr. Oujisama, put this on, you're up in 30 minutes. " La Flu said, tossing him a bright red object. Vegeta
stared at it, confused. He shrugged and put it on.
" You know, Kakarrotto, this has GOT to be most PECULIAR hockey mask I've ever seen. " the ouji scratched his head
as he stared at himself in the mirror. Goku nodded in agreement.
" Hockey ma--WAHH! " La Flu fell to the ground animé style, " WHAT DO YOU TWO IDIOTS THINK YOU'RE DOING!! " she
screeched, stomping over to them.
" Admiring my new headgear. Like it? " Vegeta grinned boastfully. The object covering his head and ending just below
his nose. There were to large holes for his eyes.
" Umm, Mr. Oujisama, that's not for your head. It's, uh, for your behind. "
" What? " Vegeta looked at her cluelessly.
" You're wearing your underwear on your head, Mr. Oujisama. " she mumbled, embarassed.
" My und--MY UNDERWEAR!! " Vegeta shrieked in shock. He grabbed his 'hockey mask' and yanked it off his head, " You,
want me, to WEAR _THIS_!!! " he held it out, cringing.
" Yes. "
" I DIDN'T AGREE TO THIS!!! YOU SAID EARTH _CLOTHES_!! NOT _UNDERWEAR_!!! " he exploded.
" Actually Veggie underwear IS considered clothing. " Goku said intellegently.
" SHUT UP! " Vegeta snapped at him, " BAKA! " he turned his attention back to the underwear, " I can't wear THIS! You
wanna advertise this stuff go put it on a mannequin or something! NOT ME!! "
" Well you're the one who signed the contract so you HAVE to wear it. " La Flu said as-a-matter-of-factly, " Besides,
you have the perfect build for it. "
" Lady, the guy with the perfect build for this sucker has a butt 2 sizes SMALLER than mine! " Vegeta held the red
satin underwear out, " I'd NEVER fit into it! "
" You got it over your head so how hard could it be to get it over your butt. " Goku shrugged, confused.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes at him, " You keep out of this Kakarrot! You'll end up doing nothing but making it worse! "
" Ohhh. " Goku stuck his bottom lip out and pouted.
" Listen, La Fluent. "
" La FLU. "
" I can't change into this little piece of cloth and then go out there! It's a pride issue, you understand. " he
explained.
" You will do fine! " La Flu put her hands on his shoulders, then bent down to his height, " Trust me. There are very
few people out on the runway so you will have no one to be embarassed infront of. "
Vegeta glanced past her at Goku, who was waving stupidly at him.
" What about Kakarrotto? "
" I'll send him downstairs to the vending machines. "
" ... "
" ... "
" Well... " Vegeta bit his lip uneasily.
" You'll do it? " she said anxiously.
" Alright. " Vegeta sighed, " But there better be as few people on this "runway" as you say there are!! " he
threatened.
" Trust me; very few. " La Flu said as Vegeta headed for the hotel room's bathroom, " It's the people surrounding the
runway you have to worry about. "
" No. There is absolutely NO WAY I am coming out of this room wearing this WASHCLOTH of a pair of shorts! " Vegeta
exclaimed from behind the bathroom door.
" Aww come on little Veggie, you wanna be FAMOUS don't you. " Goku asked.
" NOT IN MY UNDERWEAR I DON'T!!! "
" You know, technically it's not YOUR underwear Veggie, it's the company's. " Goku shrugged, " Besides, what's wrong
with showing a little skin for a few seconds infront of a few people. "
" ... "
" Mr. Oujisama! You're on in 15 seconds! " La Flu came flying into the room nervously, " WHY AREN'T YOU COMING OUT
OF THERE!! " she shrieked at the bathroom door.
" I, I don't want Kakarrotto to see me in any, err, revealing clothing. " Vegeta mumbled embarassingly from inside
the bathroom. He blushed wildly.
" OH COME OFF IT VEGGIE! I'VE SEEN YOU NAKED! I DON'T CARE! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT DOES MATTER IS THAT IF YOU DON'T
GET OUT THERE RIGHT NOW A LOTTA PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE DISAPPOINTED!!! " he shouted, then folded his arms.
" You too? " Vegeta squeaked out.
" Yes Veggie, me too. " Goku sent a cold stare at the door.
" ...Ms. La Flu. "
" Yes? " she answered him.
" I will exit the room once Kakarrotto has turned in the other direction and firmly covered his eyes with his hands."
Vegeta said, determined.
" Gosh Veggie you're taking this whole thing WAY to seriously. " Goku said skeptically as he did so.
Vegeta peeked out through the door, then stepped out.
" Alright. I am now exiting the bathroom. "
" Ooh! Really Veggie howsit look? " Goku opened his eyes and whipped around. The ouji shrieked.
" AHH! DON'T LOOK AT ME! COVER YOUR EYES! I'M INDECENT!!! " Vegeta panicked, ready to dash back into the bathroom.
" Sorry little Veggie the show must go on. " Goku grabbed him under the arms and walked him to backstage, " Now is
little Veggie ready to go show 'um who's boss? " he said proudly.
" Wait! " La Flu stopped them.
" What? What is it now? " Vegeta asked, his face flushed from what was about to happen to him.
" Don't you want to take that furry belt off first? " La Flu pointed to Vegeta's tail which was wrapped around his
waist.
" My be--OHHHHh. My "belt". No thank you, I'll keep it on. " he said, playing along, " It's a, err, lucky belt. "
" Heee, I'll say! " Goku grinned and squeezed a part of the 'belt' with his hand, causing the whole thing to turn
bright red, " See! Now it matches Veggie's panties! "
" They're not PANTIES, Kakarrotto! They're briefs! " Vegeta gritted his teeth.
" Look like panties to me. " Goku said innocently, looking over his shoulder.
" THESE ARE NOT "PANTIES"!!! " the ouji roared, then yelped as Goku pushed him through the curtain and onto the
catwalk. He instantly shut his eyes. Vegeta gulped, ::Don't picture them, don't picture anything at all. It's a blank,
completely and utterly empty room. Hai!:: he nodded, then proudly and still slightly angrily paraded down the runway. He
whipped around and turned to head back when he felt thousands of flashing lights on either side of him. The ouji tensed up
and opened his eyes to find there were thousands of people counterparting the flashing lights from what looked like to him as
thousands of cameras. Vegeta worked his hardest to keep himself from screaming in terror. He looked around the runway for
anyone else from the "few" La Flu had mentioned earlier and found them. Two girls who were working the lighting on either
side of the stage behind him. He swallowed hard and with what looked like unwavering bravery marched back off the runway.
Vegeta flicked the curtain aside in a cocky manner and exited. The moment he was out of the spotlight the ouji wailed and
fell to his knees in humiliation. He covered his burning face with his hands and groaned, " OHHHHHHHhhhh... "
" Veggie that was GREAT! I saw you on the monitor and you did such a GOOD JOB! " Goku said excitedly. La Flu grinned.
" Mr. Oujisama they LOVED it! Did you hear them cheering for you out there! " she clasped her hands together.
" And clapping and jeering and whistling and taking photos of me in this hideous outfit!!! " Vegeta moaned, bending
down even further.
" Aww, Veggie, I don't think you looked hideous at all. " Goku reached to pat him on the back.
" DON'T TOUCH ME WHEN I'M NAKED!!! " Vegeta snapped at him, then got up, " I need to make a phone call. "
" But Veggie you're not na-- "
" --I FEEL IT!! "
" *RING*!*RING*!*RING*! " Bulma looked over her shoulder at the telephone hanging against the wall. She got up out of
her chair at the kitchen table and casually walked over to the phone, " Hello? "
" BULMA! " a relieved voice practically screamed through the phone. Bulma shook her head and rubbed her ear in pain.
" Vegeta? " she cocked an eyebrow, " What are you-- "
" --Bulma. I'm sitting here squnched up in the corner of a hotel room in Paris wearing nothing but a little pair of
red satin panties!!! " he shivered.
" Vegeta-kun, I'm not really in the mood for this right now. "
" I'M NOT JOKING!! THIS IS THE TRUTH!! " the ouji shouted into the phone, petrified.
" I know it's the truth, I just saw you on channel 54. " Bulma peered into the living room at the TV screen.
" ...what? "
" Hmm? "
" Say that again. SLOWER this time. " Vegeta said, tense.
" I said. I, just, saw, you, on, channel, 54! " she repeated.
" THERE WERE _TELEVISION_ CAMERAS OUT THERE!!! " he shrieked, " I didn't even SEE the television cameras with all the
photographic ones flashing in my face! "
" I'm surprised you saw anything at all. You looked like you had your eyes closed the whole time. " Bulma went to
sit down on the couch infront of the TV.
" I did! That stupid lady told me there would only be a few people out there on the runway, but she NEVER MENTIONED
THE THOUSANDS BELOW IT!!! "
Bulma chuckled at him, " Yes, you should have seen the look on your face when you first opened your eyes! Wide as
SAUCERS! " she stopped laughing, " I'm just glad you didn't blast them all at once! "
" They couldn't have been THAT stupid, Bulma. After all they WERE cheering for ME. " Vegeta boasted.
" Oh brother. " Bulma rolled her eyes, " What a ham YOU are. Listen, Vegeta if anyone comes up to you and says
they're from the media, IGNORE THEM COMPLETELY! Don't tell them ANYTHING. The media just sucks every word out of your mouth
and re-arranges them on the front of their magazines to sell papers! They can make up WHOLE SCANDALS just by listening to the
way you word things and interupt them for their own liking! "
" So...don't say anything to them about you? "
" Got it! " Bulma gave him a thumbs-up.
" What about Kakarrotto? " Vegeta glanced over at Goku, who waved to him, " That's oh-kay, right? "
" OH! NO! No, don't say anything about Son-kun either! ESPECIALLY not about him! I don't want Son's family getting
scandalized because of this! Not to mention the fact that not everyone knows what a "little buddy" or a "saiyajin" is. "
" So? I'll just explain it to them! " Vegeta shrugged.
" NO NO NO! THE MEDIA DOESN'T _WANT_ "EXPLAINATIONS", VEGETA! It wants wild, bizzare, trashy rumors to sink its teeth
into! I mean if you even start going off talking about yourself being royalty you're going to have a LOT of problems on your
hands. " Bulma explained.
Vegeta slid down until he was sitting on the floor. He snorted, " I don't suppose you could get me out of that
contract thingy I signed, could you? "
" Well, I looked into that. It seems we CAN terminate the contract, but you're still signed on to do another 2 jobs
first. " Bulma sighed.
" KUSO! " the ouji cussed under his breath.
" I guess next time something like this comes up you'll listen to me, huh? " Bulma boasted, grinning ear-to-ear.
" ... "
" Vegeta? "
" *click*! " Bulma pulled the phone away from her ear in surprise, then growled at it and threw it to the ground,
" Why that egotistic little... "
" Well little Veggie, how did it go? " Goku asked as Vegeta set the phone down and walked past him and La Flu.
" I can get out of this gig, but I have to do it 2 more times before I can. " he grumbled.
" Aww, poor Veggie. " Goku said sadly, " Don't worry! I'll root for you on TV! "
" What? " Vegeta turned towards him. Goku was now looking down at his watch and counting.
" 3, 2, 1-- "
" *BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*BEEPBEEPBEEP*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB---- "
" AHHHH! KAKARROTTO MAKE IT STOP!! " Vegeta screamed, covering his ears with his hands.
" OH, OH-KAY!! " Goku shouted above the beeping of his watch, then pressed a button on it which caused the watch to
instantly fall dead silent, " There we go! " he said in his normal tone of voice, " Veggie is all better now! "
" Yes, I am. " Vegeta smacked the sides of his head a couple times, which were still ringing, " What WAS that? "
" That was my watch. It seems it is time for me to return home to Chi-chan. " Goku frowned slightly.
" WHAT?! YOU CAN'T GO NOW! I NEED YOU NOW!! " the panicked ouji grabbed Goku by the collar, " KAKARROTTO ANY MOMENT
NOW THOSE PAPARAZZI ARE GOING TO COME BURSTING IN HERE AND I CAN'T FACE THEM ALONE!!! "
" Awwwwwwww, Veggie needs my help? " Goku grinned, touched.
The ouji's face turned bright red. He quickly shook it off, " NO I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP! I NEED SOMEONE TO STAND
BEHIND ME, you know, for insurance purposes. "
" You mean like a bodyguard? " Goku asked, peculiarly.
" ...uh, yeah! Exactly like a bodyguard! " Vegeta answered cheerfully.
" Hee! I get to guard little Veggie! " the bigger saiyajin grinned, then paused, " But I have to go home now.
Chi-chan needs me. " he sighed.
" SO! _I_ NEED YOU!! " Vegeta waved his arms up and down in a panic; then froze realizing what he just said the ouji
slapped his hands over his mouth. Goku bent down to the ouji's height and stared at him with big sparkily eyes.
" Realllllllllllyyyyy, Veggie? " he said in a small voice.
" Uh, heh-heh. Heh... " Vegeta laughed nervously, " I, I didn't mean that, really. It, err, kind of slipped...out. "
" AWW VEH-GEE! " Goku grabbed Vegeta and gave him a hug, " You don't have to hide anything from me! " he looked at
his watch and gulped, " But if there's anything else you wanna tell me it's gonna have to wait until later. Bye! " he
teleported home. Vegeta stared at the now blank space and groaned.
" O-CHI-CHAAAN! I AM HOME! " Goku said happily as he teleported into the kitchen, " And right on time too...well, a
little late, but that's only Veggie's fault cuz he delayed me. But guess what? Veggie says he NEEDS me! " he grinned, " See,
I told you it was important that he had someone to take care of him, right Chi-chan? " Goku looked around the house, only to
find it empty, " Chi-chan? Chi-chan? "
" GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... "
The large saiyajin froze and looked nervously over his shoulder at the source of the growl to find Chi-Chi angrily
staring at him with what looked like a very large ax held over her head, " YOU LET THAT OUJI TAKE YOU AWAY WITHOUT YOUR
SAFETY DEVICES, DIDN'T YOU! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW ANGRY I AM RIGHT NOW!!! " she swung the ax back and forth violently.
" Umm, I think I have a good idea. " Goku said nervously as he backed up and placed his two fingers on his forehead.
Chi-Chi's eyes widened, " Goku? Goku where are you going? You better not go back to where-ever you left that Ouji or
I swear I'll STRANGLE him the very second I see him next. "
" I--I--I-- " he nervously fuddled with his fingers, then desicively plucked them onto his forehead and teleported
off, " AHHH!! "
" Urg! " Vegeta grunted as he and La Flu held their backs against the door, trying to keep the large group of people
from breaking in, " Tell me? Does this happen often? " he asked with sarcasm. She narrowed her eyes at him just as a familiar
figure appeared in the room.
" Hi-Veggie-I'm-back! " Goku said quickly, his nerves shot.
" KAKARROTTO! GREAT! " Vegeta grinned, " Here! Hold this door back while I get changed into my regular clothes! "
" Huh? " Goku walked over to him. Vegeta flipped where he and the other saiyajin were standing so it was now Goku who
was holding the door back. Goku sweatdropped as the ouji ran into the bathroom.
" THANKS KAKARROTTO!!! "
" Ohhhh... " Goku hung his head. He laughed nervously at La Flu, " Umm, excuse me, but why are we doing this again? "
" Well, we're presently holding back this door to save Mr. Oujisama from the paparazzi. Apparently he called his
wife and has decided he'd rather not be "hounded" by any news reporters.
" News reporters? " Goku questioned as Vegeta bounded back into the room now in his normal training gear and holding
his, *ahem* underwear in his glove. The ouji tossed it into the bathroom and ran to the others.
" Why thank you for your help Kakarrotto! I KNEW you'd come for me. " he said cheerfully as he shook Goku's hand.
" Well, actually Veggie I just came back for a little while cuz Chi-chan's on a wild barbaric rage right now so what
I'm gonna do is stay here a lil bit longer and then teleport to Capsule Corp and WALK home from there. Hopefully by the
time I get home Chi-chan won't be as sore as she was when I left. " Goku explained.
" Surrrrre Kakarrotto. I believe you. " Vegeta chuckled. Goku stepped forward.
" OOH! VEGGIE I AM TELLING THE TRUTH! "
Vegeta shrieked as the door blew open from behind them, " AAH! KAKARROTTO, THE DOOR!! " he screamed as hundreds of
people came pouring into the room. The two saiyajin managed to take refuge upon the bedposts in the room. A sea of media
people surrounded the bed and some even attempted to climb the bedposts to reach them.
" Hello sir I hear your Ms. La Flu's new model? "
" Where do you come from, son? "
" Who's your tall friend here? What's your relationship to him? "
" Can you state your full name for me please? "
Goku and Vegeta sweatdropped at the dozens of people talking at once, " Wow Veggie. " Goku said in shock, " Bulma
WAS right. These people ARE scary! "
Vegeta glared at him, " Aww shut up Kakarrot!! "

10:12 PM 8/7/2002
END OF PART TWO!
Chuquita: I knew a couple people were waiting for the paparazzi to show up so I squeezed a lil bit more into this part
than the last chapter just so I could at least start getting to them. (to Son) You know how hard it is to spell "paparazzi"?
Goku: (confused) Paparasberry?
Veggy: (also confused) You mean like Mamarasberry?
Goku: Or would it be Mamarasberry-ann?
Chuquita: (sweatdrops)
Vegeta: (also sweatdrops) (amused sarcasm) Why don't you ask them about Auntie Orange and Sister Strawberry.
Chuquita: Shuddup!
Vegeta: (big evil smirk)
Chuquita: (flatly) Well Veggie I'm glad you're enjoying this.
Vegeta: (grin) That I am!
Chuquita: Oh! Before we go any further I gotta recommend something and no this is not a plug. If anyone gets the chance to
watch episode 281 "Hold on Vegeta; a One Minute Fight at the Risk of Life" (I think it's called) do so. I saw the japanese
one off this one site and it's just a great episode all together. Veggie allows Son-kun the minute he needs to form his
SSJ3 aura power thing (only saw subtitles; yet to see english version) and fights Buu to hold him off. Funny stuff: "You,
you weren't worried about me?"--Veggie quote. Vedge is floating behind Goku who's angry because he can't get the time he
needs to power up right and I from what I gathered I think Veggie thought Goku could gather it while he was fighting Buu
but was holding back because he didn't want Veggie to hurt. And when Veggie finds out this is not the case (I swear the
poor guy looks devastated) he pitifully whimpers that line I quoted a couple lines up. It's funny cuz all throughout the
episodes previous and even after he says this to himself he keeps telling Son "don't worry about me", "stop worrying about
me", "worry about yourself".
Vegeta: (glares at her) You love it when I contradict myself, don't you, Chu?
Chuquita: Yes I do. Two other reasons to download this episode. You get to find out how to correctly pronounce
saiyajin no ouji. For the longest time I've been pronouncing it "wee-jee" when it's actually "O-jee". (Veggie cocks his
head at her) What? Ouji, Oujia board. One letter, I figure it was said the same. (back to audiance) Last is the really
funny face Veggie makes when Buu swooshes his arm out like Gumby and tries to choke Veggie's whole body. I mean I know
he eventually gets free but he makes such a funny expression. (which looks even funnier in the preview of the next ep).
Vegeta: (ticked) Are you done?
Chuquita: Hmm? Yeah, I think so.
Vegeta: Good. Now ONTO THE QUESTIONS FROM MY SAIYAJIN-LOVING FANS TO I, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI!
[Goku & Veggy pull out a bag containing the letters]
Goku: Which one first little Veggie?
Vegeta: Let's go in order. Start from the first one at the bottom of the pile and we'll work our way up.
Goku: (thumbs-up) You got it Veggie!
Vegeta: So? How many questions did I get?
Chuquita: Out of the 18 reviews we've gotten so far 7 people submitted questions for you, Vedge.
Veggy: (smiles) See! That's almost half.
Vegeta: (dryly) Almost. [reaches into the bag and pulls out the first letter] Here's the first question for yours truely.
(big grin) I love this. [opens the letter] The first letter is from Gie who asks..."Bulma, why? when? how? And what can I do
to make it me?" (sweatdrop) Obviously, I am not Bulma so I cannot answer this one. Exactly HOW Bulma-chan and I got together
is a mystery to be left for the ages. (evil smirk) Next letter! And make sure this one is directed to ME this time, Kakarrot.
Goku: (grin) K! [grabs a letter and hands it to Veggie] (to audiance) This one is from Maria Cline.
Vegeta: Who writes: "If Goku *ahem* Kakarot gives you one order and Bulma gives you an opposing order and you have to obey
only one of those orders, who would you obey?" (thinks) Well, I suppose it would depend on what the order was. I would
probably say Bulma though because I can gain Kakarrotto's forgiveness MUCH MUCH easier.
Goku: (pouty-face) That doesn't mean I'm not important, does it little Veggie?
Vegeta: (pats him on the back) Of course not, Kaka-chan.
Goku: (happily) YAY! [hugs Veggie & lets go] Heeheehee!
Vegeta: (to audiance) See? Simple. It is much more complicated to get Bulma to forgive me for ANYTHING. (looks a the letter)
Here's the other part of Maria Cline's question. "Also, I read up in a different fic that Saiyans have different type of
'germs'. Like the Kakagerms and the Veggiegerms. Is it possible that my own Saiyan, Tomata (Salid) would have 'germs' or
'cooties' since she's a girl?" Hmm, since germs don't really specify to just one gender of the saiyajin species, I'd say yes,
she probably does have some form or another of them. Next!
Goku: The next question is from Ouji Chan. Look Veggie, another ouji.
Vegeta: [grabs the letter] (snaps at him) _I_ am the only ouji YOU have to worry about, Kakarrotto!
Goku: (to Chu) Somebody is a little touchy about his royalness.
Chuquita: (nods)
Vegeta: Alright, person number 3 with question number 3 writes...
Chuquita: Types...they're typing their...questions...
Vegeta: (glare) WRITES, "if the ouji here loves his Kaka chan so much, why does he always get so nervous and annoyed when
Goku hugs him? and it can't be because of pride because he's not nearly that egotistical anymore" (angry) WHO SAYS I'M NOT
STILL EGOTISTICAL!! I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI!!
Veggy: But you didn't answer the question.
Vegeta: (sweatdrop) Umm, well I, I don't like Kakarrotto hugging me because...of his Kako-cooties! Yes! I would rather not
be infected by his nasty Kako-disease. And being hugged is a way to catch it. HA! So there! (to Chu) Next question.
Chuquita: (to Veggie) Did you know you're avoiding answering any questions that get to personal for you, Veggie?
Vegeta: (gritting his teeth) (slightly embarassed) JUST...GIVE...ME...THE...NEXT...LETTER!
Chuquita: The next letter, #4, is from Gaia Faye, who writes, "If there were some horrible event where Bura and Goku were in
terrible, TERRIBLE danger and there were only enough time to save one- ONLY ONE- of them, who would Vejjie save from the
clutches of DOOM?!"
Vegeta: ...uhhhhhh, well, B-chan can't fly or perform any tricks to free herself...but Kakarrotto's already be wished back
an obsensely amount of times and if we tried he might say no like he did the last two times...would Kakarrotto be completely
helpless or--
Chuquita: Vedge just answer the question.
Vegeta: Umm, puh, probably Bura because Kakarrotto can easily save himself with his whole SSJ3 thing and the teleportation
trick of his and--
Goku: (big sad baby-eyes) But what if I WASN'T able to do any of that stuff, little Veggie?
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) Uhhh, uhhh, (bites his lip) (quickly) I'd-save-you-because-them-I-could-easily-wish-Bura-back-
-with-the-dragonballs!!!
Goku: YAY! (cheers)
Vegeta: (groans) Question 5, Chu?
Chuquita: Question number 5 is from Nekoni.
Vegeta: (slaps himself on the forehead) Oh NO!
Goku: Heeheehee, Nekoni writes, "When did Goku become Kakay? -and- when did you start blushing when he hugged you? -A
question for Goku- when was your VERY FIRST buddy-smooch with Veggie- and do you wanna' re-act it for us? *evil smirk*"
Vegeta: (embarassed) I KNEW she was going to ask something like that! [grabs the letter from Son's hands] "Kakay"...well,
back in "Til Death Do Us Part" to keep me from being arrested by the intergalatic police we had to pretend Kakarrotto was a
girl for a couple weeks and when they asked her name I automatically started to say Kakarrotto but caught myself and spat out
Kakay instead, being Kakarrotto's a male saiyajin name.
Goku: (confused) They why do you still call me Kakay every once in a while?
Vegeta: Uhhhhh, no comment.
Chuquita: (tired after looking through her many diskettes for the answer to the second question) Veggie starts blushing in
part 3 of Plushie. Techincally Son wasn't hugging him directly, he was hugging Plushie (who was voodoo-ed by Dende) and from
then on the glowing became a regular thing.
Vegeta: DARN YOU PLUSH TOY!! [shakes fist in the air]
Goku: Lookie she gave me a question too! (blinks) The first time I gave Veggie a "buddy-smooch"? (thinks hard) Gee I haven't
given many of those...I think it was back in the Christmas Special fic when he gave me those fishy slippers and I mistletoe'd
the lil ouji. (blink) Does she mean re-act or re-enact? Well, Veggie reacted by getting very mad at me, if that's what you're
asking. But re-enact, you mean do smooch him again right now?
Vegeta: [rips the paper into pieces] (nervous laugh) Uh, heh-heh-heh. Of course she didn't mean re-enact, Kakarrot. Heh, heh.
Veggy: Question number 6 is from Luna Inverse who writes, "Veggie, when you shoot ki blast through your hands with your
gloves on, do your gloves get a hole in them or something?"
Vegeta: (smiles with relief) Bless you Luna for a non-personal-life question. No I don't get a hole in my gloves because the
ki is formed above my hands. The energy sort of seeps through the gloves in a way. (to Chu) ALRIGHT! I'm feeling more
confident now! NUMBER 7!!
Chuquita: Unknown writes asking, "What exactly did he see in Bulma anyway???"
Vegeta: (still confident) Well, she's pretty, shares a similar counterpart ego to myself, creates the amazing technology that
allows me to train and...umm, well there's more but I'd rather not ramble on right now. NUMBER 8!
Goku: (in same voice) NUMBER 8!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops)
Goku: Our last question is from Lexi Q who asks, "Okay...Veggie, there has to be one bad thing about Bura, what is it?
And don't say nothing because that's just a pathetic attempt to weasle out of answering the question!"
Vegeta: Pushy.
Chuquita: What?
Vegeta: Bura's a little...pushy. Especially about the, uh, buddyship between Kakarrotto and I. She's always trying to push it
around at a faster pace than I like to. Bura's also pushy when she wants me to play her little girl-games with her.
Chuquita: Well, there ya go. All questions have been answered...sorta. (sweatdrops) In Part 3's Corner's we plan to talk
about how other characters have changed. Mainly Goku, Chi-Chi, and Bura. We'll see you then.
Goku: (a la tigger) Ta-ta-for-now!
Veggy: Toodles!
Vegeta: Whatever.
Chuquita: Later!...well I thought that went pretty well, don't you?
Goku: Grapes are made for stomping, suitcases are made for lugging, cherries are made for picking, and Veggies are made for
hugging!
Vegeta: (glows bright red and slams his head on the desk)
Chuquita: Ooh, good one, Son-kun.
Goku: (grins) Thank you.

Quote of the Week: -from "Spongebob Squarepants"
Plankton: I love messin things up!
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: (grinning) And so do I. Today in Part 2's Corner we're gonna talk about someone who's had so many firsts in this
whole little escapade that it ain't funny.
Goku: (cheers) VEGGIE!
Chuquita: (happily) That's right!
Goku: (happily) That's amazing!
Vegeta: (happily) That's me!
Chuquita: ...
Goku: ...
Vegeta: (shouts) WHAT!! I CAN'T BE HAPPY EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND _NOT_ GET STARED AT LIKE I'VE LOST MY MIND!!!
Chuquita: Nope. Veggie I think that's pretty much impossible.
Goku: (creeped out) Little Veggie scares me when he's cheerful.
Vegeta: (glares at Son) And you like me better ANGRY, FRUSTRATED, AND IN A STUBBORN MOOD INSTEAD?!
Goku: (grins) Yeah, cuz that's MY Veggie!
Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) I'll never understand you, Kakarrotto. [shakes his head]
Goku: Neither will I! (big 'ol smile)
Vegeta: [elbows Chu] Getting back to the subject of ME...
Chuquita: (slightly annoyed) I'm going I'm going!!! (under her breath) Honestly... [turns to audiance] Veggie has done many
'firsts' things in our stories and the Corners.
Vegeta: (nods proudly)
Chuquita: (to Veggie) You better not sponge this into your ego that's for sure.
Vegeta: And why not? I _AM_ #1.
Chuquita: Vedge you keep that attitude up and I'll nix your little poll in the next fic before it's even started.
Vegeta: ...I'm shutting up. [turns the other way and whistles to himself, then grabs a piece of paper and a pencil and starts
doodling]
Chuquita: As you may or not know, Veggie here was the first dbz character to appear in a pre-dbz-fic I wrote, the first word
in the first title of my first dbz fic and the first person to speak the first word of my first dbz fic.
Goku: (grinning slyly) [nudging the ouji] And what was Veggie's first word again?
Vegeta: (grumbles) mmphamph.
Goku: (giggles) I didn't hear that!
Vegeta: *sigh* "KAKOROT".
Goku: (grins) (to Chu) In CAPS no less!
Vegeta: Yes, that was before 'genius' over here learned the correct spelling to Kakarrotto's name.
Chuquita: Don't test me, Veggie. I will grab that poll and send it through the shredder RIGHT NOW.
Vegeta: (smirks) We don't HAVE a shredder.
Chuquita: ...then I'll zap one up! [threateningly holds up the Big Book of Author Spells]
Vegeta: (pale) Uhhhhh, fine. I'll "play along".
Chuquita: (to Son) You know I had no idea that using you two in the first scene would end me up here.
Goku: Well I'm glad you did. We saiyajins are very entertaining creatures! (big stupid grin)
Chuquita: Yeah, I've noticed. (to audiance) Veggie was also the first 'addition' to the Corner when it first began changing
from being my author's note to this little side-story-ish place. (to Veggie) You know you were SUPPOSED to be only a GUEST
for ONE FIC.
Vegeta: (snickers evilly) And yet here I am, nearly 60 Corners (beginning and end ones) later. Slowly driving you all insane.
(grins) It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it! By the way, I've picked out a "Quote of the Week" for my future
VICTORY-FIC once I've beaten Onna to a pulp in the polls. (pulls out a piece of paper) Shall I read it? (evil smirk)
Chuquita: (bluntly) No.
Vegeta: It's from episode #278. And it HAPPENS to be made by KAKARROTTO speaking to ME about ONNA. (fake-gasp) Isn't that
exciting?
Chuquita: Veggie will you hold it in for 2 seconds! You're more hyped up about this than some other people I know.
Vegeta: That's because, Chu, _I_ know that once this "bill" becomes a "law" that you won't let anything TOO weird or
embarassing fall upon my person because you're a SMART person.
Chuquita: Vedge.
Vegeta: And SMART people ALWAYS choose the SMARTER saiyajin as their favorite.
Chuquita: (ticked) VEDGE!
Vegeta: Of course, the smarter of the two saiyajins being myself--
Goku: (shouts) VEGGIE!
Vegeta: (turns to him) What?
Chuquita: (sigh) Thank you, Son-kun.
Goku: Do not mention it. (smile)
Chuquita: (to audiance) Speaking of "firsts" I've decided to give Part 2's Corners a little cameo by my first homemade
character from my first story. Veggy!! [looks left, then right, confused] ....uhhh. Veggy!!!
Veggy: [cleaning the Corner desk with a wet rag] (cheerfully) Hello Chu-sama!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Veggy, sit down.
Veggy: Hold on. [zips around the gang with lightning speed, then stops in the same spot he left in; the cupcake-crumbed table
is now perfectly clean]
Chuquita: (jaw hangs open) Holy---err, Veggy, sit down.
Veggy: But I missed a spot.
Chuquita: Forget about it, just sit--
Veggy: (roars in Veggie-wrath-like voice) I SAID I MISSED A SPOT NOW LET ME CLEAN IT OFF!!!! [does so; then sits down]
(cheerful again) Now what is it you wanted to talk to me about?
[Chu and Veggie are clinging onto Son for dear life. All three terrified]
Chuquita: Uh, heh-heh-heh. [gets back into her chair, embarassed] Veggy here was an android created by the aliens who
kidnapped our Veggie in the first fic and sent Veggy to Earth to replace him and keep the Z gang happy enough not to want to
rescue the real Veggie. I brought him back in a sequel where Bura got kidnapped and Veggie was too sick to help Son save her
so Bulma plugged in Veggy's backup program which makes him act like the real Veggie however she screwed up, his previous
program over-rode it, and now he has a sort of Lunch complex.
Vegeta: (grumbles) Yeah, thanks Bulma. Thanks a lot.
Goku: (whispers to him) Bulma's not here, Veggie.
Vegeta: I know that.
Goku: ???
Chuquita: (turns to Veggy) Veggy would you care to do the honors?
Veggy: (happily) Yes, yes I would!! (to audiance) On with Part 2 everybody!!!!
Summary: 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!
Goku: (proudly) My first words were "Mmph Mmph!"
Veggy: (sweatdrops) Really?
Vegeta: (groan) He had his mouth full.
Chuquita: (sarcasm) There's a big surprise.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Ahh, what a BEAUTIFUL DAY! " Chi-Chi grinned as she stood outside the Son home and stretched her arms outward,
" The Sun is out, the breeze is cool, and no Ouji in sight! "
" Veggie? " Goku poked his head out of the doorway behind her, looking around.
" No, Go-chan. No "Veggie". " she said with relief, " You know I'm so glad he signed that contract yesterday. Just
think! If he has to start hopping all over the globe for this 'modeling' thing we may be able to go days without seeing his
ugly little ouji face! "
" Days? " Goku frowned.
" Or maybe even weeks! "
" Weeks? "
" Or months! " Chi-Chi smiled widely.
" MONTHS? "
She turned around and sweatdropped to see the large saiyajin's eyes welled up with tears, " Oh, Goku don't worry
about it. We don't need that short nosy lil jerk. "
" Muh--MONTHS?? " Goku sputtered, " Chi-chan I don't wanna go without my little Veggie for whole MONTHS at a time!
That's just not RIGHT! You don't do that to little buddies, you know? Wha, what if he forgets all about me? I don't want my
little Veggie to forget about me, Chi-chan. " he sniffled.
" Ugh. Goku, first of all he's not YOUR little Veggie, and second, that ouji couldn't forget you if he tried. " she
answered wryly, " Besides, he'll be TV and all over the world. Since you care about your 'little buddy' so much wouldn't it
feel great to share in that, uh, "joy" with everyone else on the entire planet? "
" ... "
" ... "
" NO!! NEVER NEVER NEVER!! " the bigger saiyajin wailed, " YOU CAN'T SHARE LITTLE BUDDIES, CHI-CHAN!!! THAT'S NOT HOW
IT WORKS!!! " he exclaimed, then calmed down, " It's just that I'm afraid they won't know how to treat Veggie. He has such
specific needs and he gets pretty upset when they're not met. Plus I can't trust that lady to take care of little Veggie the
way I take care of him. He needs to be watched over or else he starts doing bad things. "
" I'm sure Ms. La Flu will take VERY good care of the ouji. He doesn't need you to act like his babysitter, Go-chan.
The ouji's practically 4 years OLDER than you are! " Chi-Chi said.
" Five. "
" What? "
" Veggie's 5 years older than me. " Goku corrected her, " He's a Capricorn actually. "
" Goku. "
" Yeah, Veggie taught me how to read the horoscopes in the newspaper. I read mine today and it said that today is a
good day for me to play the lottery. " Goku laughed, " Or to travel. I forget which one. "
" GOKU! "
" Yes Chi-chan? " he cocked his head at her.
" Just go water the garden for me will you. " she groaned, handing him the watering can, " It'll get your mind off
that stupid ouji. " Chi-Chi headed for the hammock Goku had hung on the two trees on the side of the house, " I'm going to
rest for a little while. Wake me in 10 minutes oh-kay sweetie. "
" K. " he nodded, then watched Chi-Chi settle down into the hammock on her back. He headed for the nearby river,
scooped some water out of it, then walked back to the small garden and started to water it, " Maybe Chi-chan's right. " Goku
said as the water sprinkled out onto the patch of grass, " Maybe I should stop worrying about Veggie. " he smiled, " Yup! I
am sure little Veggie is going to do just fine without me! "
" *beepBEEPbeepBEEP*!! " an obscenely large limousine appeared out of nowhere gliding down past the Son home and
coming to a complete stop next to Goku. The saiyajin blinked, confused. His hand still holding the tilted watering can which
was continuing to sprinkle overtop of the ground. The backseat door to the limo swung open to reveal a familiar character
smiling at him. Goku grinned.
" LITTLE VEGGIE! "
" Hey Kakarrotto. " the ouji waved, " Wanna come to Paris with me? "
" YAY! ROAD TRIP WITH VEGGIE! " Goku cheered, then paused, looking over his shoulder at the sleeping Chi-Chi, " Ohhh,
Veggie I don't know if I could come. " he said in a quieter voice, " I mean, Chi-chan's over there and she-- "
" --Onna? " Vegeta cocked his head upward enough to see the sleeping figure in the hammock. He snickered, " HA! Well
well well, I guess even demons need to sleep. "
Goku watched Chi-Chi and nodded sadly, " Little Veggie I can't just leave Chi-chan on a road trip without telling her
. Maybe I should ask--- "
" NO NO NO! " Vegeta panically waved his arms in the air, " Don't tell Onna! "
" Wuh--why not? " Goku looked at him, baffled.
" You wouldn't want to wake her up from her 'beauty sleep'. And you'll only be gone for today. " the smaller saiyajin
added, " I'm not going to go off somewhere without at least ONE familiar face, eh? "
" Well.... " Goku trailed off.
The ouji smirked, feeling he had the upper hand, " Come on, Kakay. Don't you want to have one more "buddy day" before
I get my picture taken and become famous? "
" Mmm, OH-KAY! " Goku grinned, dropping the watering can to the floor.
" Uhh? " Chi-Chi mumbled, faintly opening her eyes.
Vegeta scooched over along with La Flu, who was on the far side of the seat, " There's a cushion right here with your
name on it 'big buddy'. " he patted the seat.
" That's funny. I don't see Son Goku written anywhere on this seat cushion, Veggie. " Goku scratched his head as he
stared down at the seat.
" It's printed very small. " Vegeta cut him short, " Now get in. "
" Alright. " Goku said, then tip-toed slowly over to the limo and reached for door, " But we gotta be quick, oh-kay.
I don't wanna be gone from Chi-chan too long. "
" You got it, Kaka-chan. " the smaller saiyajin smirked, then reached out and grabbed Goku by the hand to help him
inside. Chi-Chi's eyes flew open and she sat up with a shock to see Goku was now halfway into the back of a limousine with a
shorter figure smiling evilly from inside.
" AHH! " she shrieked. Vegeta looked up to see her and panicked, " OUJI! " Chi-Chi shouted, trying to get out of the
hammock.
" Quick! Kakarrotto inside! " Vegeta tugged the other saiyajin harder.
" Uh, uh, ohhhh! " Goku bit his lip, then yelped as Vegeta pulled him inside. Goku nervously strapped himself in and
reached for the door.
" YOU LET HIM OUT OF THERE OUJI!! " Chi-Chi stumbled over to the limo, " YOU DON'T OWN HIM!! "
" Actually, I do. But that's beside the point. " Vegeta shrugged carelessly, then turned to Goku, " You want to come
with me, don't you Kakay-chan? "
Goku stared at him, then stared up sadly at Chi-Chi, " Please lemmie take care of my little Veggie, Chi-chan. It'll
just be for today, then Veggie says he can drop me off home please! " he pleaded.
" I--NO! NO YOU CAN'T! NOW GET OUT OF THAT OUJI-MOBILE AND GET BACK TO THE GARDEN! " Chi-Chi demanded.
" Hmmph. Making Kakay do your baka Onna-chores while you lounge around in that portable piece of cloth. That's not
very nice of you you know. " Vegeta narrowed his eyes at her, disgusted.
" OOH!!! I WAS JUST GOING TO REST FOR A FEW MINUTES! AND I HAD GOKU WATER THE GARDEN SO HE COULD GET HIS MIND OFF OF
YOU!!! Really, it's none of your business in the least what we do. " Chi-Chi folded her arms, insulted.
The ouji smirked evilly, " Kakay couldn't get his mind off me, eh? " he rubbed his hands together maniacally, " How
very intreging. "
" Grr, I didn't mean it THAT WAY!! " Chi-Chi shouted.
" Ooh Veggie you better not tease Chi-chan or I WILL get out. " Goku threatened him. The prince paused for a moment.
" I'm not teasing her, Kakay. I'm merely relaying the truth to her. And for Onna the truth happens to be VERY hard to
swallow. " he patted Goku on the head; which seemed awkward because Vegeta had to unbuckle himself just to reach the top of
the other saiyajin's head.
" Chi-chan I'll only be gone for one day. I'll come right back after that I promise! " Goku begged her, " Please let
me at least make sure Veggie is going to be alright! "
" Well...fine, Goku, you can go. " Chi-Chi hung her head.
" YES! " Goku hooted, pumping his arm in the air. Vegeta was doing a little victory dance in the backround. Chi-Chi
rolled her eyes at him before he realized the others were staring. Vegeta's face flushed and he sat back down and buckled up,
" I guess I'll be seeing you then Chi-chan! " Goku smiled.
" Yes. " Chi-Chi nodded, then zipped into the house only to zip out again, " Just wait one minute! " she said, then
re-zipped in and out to return with a bundle of electronic equipment. Goku gawked at the sight and Vegeta just looked on,
annoyed with how long this was taking.
" WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!! " Goku shrieked as she plopped the items in his lap.
" Oh, just some things I bought for Gohan so I would know where he was at all times. " Chi-Chi said, then strapped a
watch around Goku's wrist, " This watch is set for 24 hours and will let you know when your ouji-time is up by beeping
freakishly loudly. This is a crash helmet to keep your brain intact. And this-- " she held up a newer piece of equipment,
" --is something I bought off the home-shopping-channel last night. " she strapped what looked like a metal collar with
little blinking red lights around Goku's neck, " It's a Ouji-Repellent-System. That short little creep gets ANY of his smelly
body parts anywhere near YOUR sweet-smelling body parts and he gets fried by 1,000,000,000,000,000 volts of electricity on
site. "
Vegeta sweatdropped at the device around Goku's neck.
" Wuh, won't _I_ get shocked too? " Goku asked, worried.
" Oh NO, honey. It won't shock you. It's immune to frying your body. " Chi-Chi gave him a kiss on the cheek, " Now
you take care now--OH! " she grabbed another object and strapped it around his waist like a belt, " This is a high-tech
camera device I hooked up to the TV so I can see everything that's going on just by flipping to a certain channel. Isn't
technology GREAT! " she hugged Goku tightly, then let go.
" Heh-heh. Yeah...great. " Goku laughed nervously.
" Alright then. I'll be seeing you soon Go-chan! " Chi-Chi waved as she went back in the house. Goku waited until she
closed the door, then chucked the helmet out the window and closed the car door. He pouted.
" Chi-chan doesn't TRUST me Veggie. " he sniffled, feeling slightly betrayed.
" Of COURSE she doesn't trust you Kakarrotto. " Vegeta chuckled, playing along, " But _I_ TRUST you. Now why don't
you take off all that 'equipment' and we can get going! " he grinned.
" But Chi-chan said-- "
" Kakarrotto, think of how PROUD "Chi-chan" will be of you if you can manage to get through today WITHOUT any special
type of security. You'll prove you're her equal as an adult. "
" Yeah. " Goku smiled.
" You'll be able to show that you CAN be mature. "
" YEAH. "
" And you CAN control your natural Kaka-urges to literally hug the life out of me! "
" YEAH!! " Goku squealed at the top of his lungs, " I CAN DO IT!! " he whooped, then threw his waistband and collar
out the window also.
" Uh, what about the watch? " Vegeta pointed to it.
" Oh. I, I still need that. " Goku responded, " I, umm, can't tell time that well. " he mumbled, slightly embarassed.
" Very well then. " Vegeta nodded, " Say that thing doesn't have any cameras in it, right? "
" No, that was the belt. " Goku said.
" Good. " the ouji sat back and sighed happily, " DRIVER! WE'RE OFF! "
" Wow, so this is it, huh? " Vegeta marveled as the trio stood before a large jet.
" OOoooOOOOh. So pretty. " Goku said in awe as he floated up and around the private jet, examining it.
" Yes, the comfort level on Sunny Airlines is jacked up a bit from the others because they normally only reserve
their space to the rich and famous. " La Flu said as she made her way to the stairs.
" Well Veggie is rich and soon he is about to be famous too! " Goku grinned, " Right little Veggie! " he said eagerly
as he floated upside-down and facing Vegeta.
" Hai, Kakarrotto. I'd say that's correct. " Vegeta boasted as he too entered the plane. Goku following soon after.
He looked around in wonder at the many people sitting inside.
" Wow again, little Veggie. When I went on that plane with Kaio-sama we were like a few of the only people on it! "
Goku examined the crowd, then looked at his ticket. " 17B! " he chirped, then headed for the back of the plane, " 15, 16,
seven--HA! 17!! " he pointed to two empty seats, then pouted at his ticket.
" What's the matter NOW? " Vegeta demanded as he and La Flu headed towards him. Goku sadly pointed at window seat 17A
, then at his ticket, 17B. The two onlookers sweatdropped, " Let me guess, you want the window seat? " Vegeta said dryly.
Goku nodded quickly. Vegeta looked down at his own ticket; 17A, " Well would you look at this. It seems _I_ the GREAT
AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI, just HAPPEN to have ownership of the window-seat that Kakarrotto deeply desires to possess.
Funny how life works out huh, "big buddy". "
" Little Veggie gonna be a nice Veggie and trade tickets with me? " Goku sniffled, his eyes brimming with tears. A
big evil smile widened on Vegeta's face.
" Why YES, Kakarrotto. Little Veggie IS going to be nice and trade his ticket with you. " Vegeta said as he held out
the ticket, only to have Goku swap the two pieces of paper faster than the speed of light.
" YAY! WINDOW-SEAT! WINDOW-SEAT! I GET TO SIT IN THE WINDOW SEAT! " Goku chanted happily, then picked up Vegeta and
gave him a squeeze, " Oh THANK YOU little Veggie you are the GREATEST! "
" Heh-heh, heh. " Vegeta's face glowed bright red, " I am the greatest, aren't I... " he giggled, half-sane, then
stopped glowing abruptly when he noticed nearly everyone else in the plane staring at him; some stifling laughter, others
just looking on in shock; some in disgust; and others in pity, " WHAT'RE YOU LOOKIN AT!!! THERE'S NO SHOW HERE NOW GO BACK TO
YOUR PITIFUL EARTH DISTRACTIONS, HUMANS!!! " Vegeta snapped. La Flu rolled here eyes while ignoring them and reading one of
her own magazines in the seat infront of them; 16A, " For crying out loud! What pests! " Vegeta snorted, then returned to
glowing bright red for a moment more. He looked up at his hugger, " Alright, Kakarrot. I'm done now. "
" K, Veggie. " Goku set him down, then anxiously hopped in the window seat and smushed his face against the window.
Vegeta casually strolled to seat 17A's partner seat, 17B, and sat down as well.
" *Doodoodoo, doodooDOO doodoo!* " the airplane's window-washer whistled to himself as the wheeled-steps he was
standing upon moved from the front right side of the plane to the back right side of the plane. He got to row 17 and shrieked
at the hideous blob in the window making funny faces at him. Goku burst into laughter at the temporarily frightened window
washer, who was now temporarily mad at him. The window washer stepped forward the slap Goku's window with the rag in his hand
only to shriek as he slipped and fell downward, screaming for what seemed like an eternity until the sound of a object
hitting a large pillow-ish object could be heard. Goku sat back in his chair and giggled as the plane took off.
" We are now level and in the air, feel free to move about the cabin. " a voice on the intercom said several minutes
later. Goku looked around and shrugged. He glanced at his chair and stared in awe at the many buttons on it. His fingers
itched with curiousity and he pressed the largest most-dangerous-looking button he could find which sent his chair flying
downwards and his feet upwards until he was laying horizontal above the floor.
" Veggie! VEGGIE! " Goku called out, entertained. Vegeta glanced over at him, wearing the headseat that was connected
to the plane. He sweatdropped at the site next to him; namely Goku's feet--or boots if you prefer. Vegeta lowered the volume
on the headseat and took it off.
" Kakarrotto what are you doing NOW! " he said, slightly annoyed.
" Press the red button Veggie! Press it! " Goku said between guffals of laughter.
" No thank you, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta replyed, then resumed listening to his music.
Goku sat up where he was sitting, " Awww, come on Veggie! It's F-U-N, FUN! " he grinned at Vegeta, who had on his
usual get lost and leave me alone expression.
" N-O, NO! " Vegeta snapped, speaking louder than normal so he could hear himself above the music in his ears.
Goku sighed, depressed, " Alright Veggie. " he layed back down, then quickly sat up again, pressed the red button on
Vegeta's chair, and zipped back down again. Vegeta yelped as his seat too fell back into the same position. Goku giggled at
him.
" Kakarrotto... " Vegeta said warningly.
" Lighten up little Veggie. Isn't this FUN! " Goku pointed to the ceiling which they were now both staring up at.
" No because A, I can no longer listen to the radio, " Vegeta pointed to his headset, which was now dangling in
mid-air above his body, " And B because this means I TRADED SEATS WITH YOU AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN LOOKING OUT THE STUPID WINDOW
ANYMORE!!! "
" Sheesh Veggie you're such a grump when Chi-chan's not around. " Goku frowned, then broke into a smile, " But I LIKE
you that way cuz that's genuine Veggie-ness! " he swooshed his arm past himself as if he were making a deal.
" Uh-huh. " Vegeta sweatdropped, " Now how about pressing the button that puts my chair back in the position it's
SUPPOSED to be in. " he said, ticked.
" ... "
" ... "
" You don't know which button puts these chairs back in their upright position, do you, Kakarrot? " Vegeta narrowed
his eyes at the ceiling.
" ...no Veggie. No I don't. " Goku responded.
" WELL THAT'S JUST GREAT! " Vegeta yelled angrily, then snorted and folded his arms, " So much for my music! "
Goku blinked for a moment, then broke into an all-out grin which said nothing but "I have an idea". He turned to
Vegeta, with the same grin still plastered on his face, " Hey Veggie? "
" Whatever you're thinking, the answer is no. " Vegeta said flatly.
" I could sing music to you little Veggie. " Goku said happily, ignoring the prince's comment.
" Kakarrotto, I'd rather go to sleep--in fact, I think I will. " Vegeta turned so his back was facing Goku and
prepared to doze off.
" Well then maybe I could sing you a lullaby! " Goku patted the ouji on the head. Vegeta grabbed Goku's arm before it
could finish it's third pat.
" I don't want you to sing to me Kakarrotto, I want you to let me fall asleep by myself. Got it? " he let go of
Goku's arm. The larger saiyajin only smiled down warmly at the smaller one.
" Hmm. " Goku let out a chuckle just as Vegeta closed his eyes, " Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep lit-tle
Veh-gee... " the ouji's right eye popped wide open and his whole body began to twitch with anger and embarassment, " Say
good-night, and sweet-dreams, and I for-get the rest of the song. " Goku sang happily. Vegeta was able to untense his anger
now that Goku had ended his little song and slowly began to fall asleep only to suddenly yelp as something grabbed him from
behind. Vegeta sweatdropped and glared tiredly over his shoulder at Goku, who giggled, " Sleepytime hugs. "
" WILL YOU LET GO OF ME!! " Vegeta wiggled out of the hug, glowing bright red, " I can't go 2 SECONDS without you
doing SOMETHING to embarass me on this plane! We're not at my house anymore Kakarrot, WE'RE IN A PLANE FULL OF PEOPLE!!! "
" ... " Goku stared at him, hurt. Vegeta bit his lip, ready to apologize if necessary. Instead of sobbing, Goku sat
up and waved to the rest of the people in the cabin, " HI PLANE FULL OF PEOPLE!! " he shouted loudly.
" Ohhhh! " Vegeta cupped his face in his hands and groaned, then layed back down on his chair, " GOODNIGHT,
Kakarrot. "
" Goodnight my little ouji. " Goku saluted him, then leaned back himself and stared at the ceiling, " ..hey Veggie? "
" What NOW! " Vegeta gritted through his teeth.
" You know what I bet would get you to sleep a lot faster? "
" Having you thrown out of this plane? " Vegeta remarked sarcastically.
" Nooooooo, silly! A pillow and a blanket! Those things always help me sleep better when I'm in a strange place. "
" You certainly ARE strange, Kakarrotto. "
" They normally keep that stuff in the compartments above our heads....I wonder... " Goku rubbed his chin, then
kicked his foot up and hit one of the compartments, causing a pillow and blanket to fall down onto of the ouji, " WOW! I sure
AM lucky today! Boy was my horoscope right on the button today, eh Veggie? I SHOULD buy a lottery ticket! "
Vegeta once again twitched in anger underneath the pillow and blanket, " Yes, Kakarrotto. Lucky you... "
" *BOUNCE*BOUNCE*BOUNCE*!!! "
" Ehhhh.... " Vegeta blinked, slowly opening his eyes to see a larger figure bouncing up and down beside him. He
groaned, flipped over, and covered his head with the airline pillow.
" VeggieVeggie time to wake up! " Goku said happily. He momentarily stopped bouncing, then grinned, lept up as high
as he could, then bounced back down; the force sending Vegeta flying up off the chair headfirst into the ceiling. Goku
sweatdropped, " Oops. " he cringed.
" Mr. Oujisama, we're here. " La Flu shouted up at him. Vegeta gave her a weak thumbs-up, then yelped as he fell back
onto his chair. He grabbed the sides of his head in pain and groaned.
" Stupid...*grumble*grumble*...HEY! WHERE DID ALL THE PEOPLE GO!! " Vegeta bolted up, looking around the empty
airplane, which now only held himself, Goku, and La Flu.
" Oh, they've been gone for about 2 hours now. " Goku shrugged, pausing from his bounces.
" WHAT!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU TOO MORONS WAKE ME UP!!! " Vegeta snapped at them.
" Well you need to be at your most rested for the runway. " La Flu said, " And your large friend says you're cranky
if you don't get your naps in during the afternoon. "
" Oh. Good point. " Vegeta nodded, getting off his chair and walking out of the plane, " Say, you didn't do anything
TOO EMBARASSING to me while I was asleep, DID you, Kakarrotto? " he asked as they left.
" Nah, now why would I embarass you, little Veggie. " Goku laughed it off, " All I told them was you were getting
your beauty rest for your lil photo shoot is all. " he rubbed his chin in thought, " Then this one guy said, "Where, Baby
Gap?" And then everybody else started laughing and then I laughed a little too but I really didn't know what they were
laughing about so I guess it wasn't really that funny after all. "
Vegeta's arms hung at his sides; mortified. He slapped himself on the forehead and slowly moved his hand down to
cover his face, " Now WHY did I decide to bring Kakarrotto with me again?! "
" Oh Go-chan! " Chi-Chi said as she dashed back out of the house, " Your forgot your tracking device--AHH! " she
shrieked at the site of all the electronic equipment she had placed on the saiyajin now sitting on the front lawn. Her face
turned a pale green and she screamed up at the sky, " NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CURSE YOU, OUJI!! "
" Oh yeah! Now I remember! " Vegeta grinned happily. He turned to Goku, " Come Kakarrotto, my appointment awaits! "
Goku cheered, " YAY! "
" Wow, big room. " the ouji mumbled as the small group now stood in a hotel room.
" This will be your dressing room. " La Flu said as she guided the two saiyajins around.
" Heh-heh. Hear that Kakarrotto? My DRESSING ROOM! " Vegeta ribbed him.
" Don't you think it's kinda big for such a little buddy? " Goku said to La Flu in awe.
" Nonsense Kakarrotto! NOTHING is TOO BIG for me! " the smaller saiyajin snorted, " You're my "buddy" and you're
what, 5 inches taller than me. "
" Actually, a foot and a half little Veggie. " Goku corrected him.
The ouji scowled up at the larger saiyajin, then snorted and continued walking through the room only to sit down on
a nearby couch.
" Here Mr. Oujisama, put this on, you're up in 30 minutes. " La Flu said, tossing him a bright red object. Vegeta
stared at it, confused. He shrugged and put it on.
" You know, Kakarrotto, this has GOT to be most PECULIAR hockey mask I've ever seen. " the ouji scratched his head
as he stared at himself in the mirror. Goku nodded in agreement.
" Hockey ma--WAHH! " La Flu fell to the ground animé style, " WHAT DO YOU TWO IDIOTS THINK YOU'RE DOING!! " she
screeched, stomping over to them.
" Admiring my new headgear. Like it? " Vegeta grinned boastfully. The object covering his head and ending just below
his nose. There were to large holes for his eyes.
" Umm, Mr. Oujisama, that's not for your head. It's, uh, for your behind. "
" What? " Vegeta looked at her cluelessly.
" You're wearing your underwear on your head, Mr. Oujisama. " she mumbled, embarassed.
" My und--MY UNDERWEAR!! " Vegeta shrieked in shock. He grabbed his 'hockey mask' and yanked it off his head, " You,
want me, to WEAR _THIS_!!! " he held it out, cringing.
" Yes. "
" I DIDN'T AGREE TO THIS!!! YOU SAID EARTH _CLOTHES_!! NOT _UNDERWEAR_!!! " he exploded.
" Actually Veggie underwear IS considered clothing. " Goku said intellegently.
" SHUT UP! " Vegeta snapped at him, " BAKA! " he turned his attention back to the underwear, " I can't wear THIS! You
wanna advertise this stuff go put it on a mannequin or something! NOT ME!! "
" Well you're the one who signed the contract so you HAVE to wear it. " La Flu said as-a-matter-of-factly, " Besides,
you have the perfect build for it. "
" Lady, the guy with the perfect build for this sucker has a butt 2 sizes SMALLER than mine! " Vegeta held the red
satin underwear out, " I'd NEVER fit into it! "
" You got it over your head so how hard could it be to get it over your butt. " Goku shrugged, confused.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes at him, " You keep out of this Kakarrot! You'll end up doing nothing but making it worse! "
" Ohhh. " Goku stuck his bottom lip out and pouted.
" Listen, La Fluent. "
" La FLU. "
" I can't change into this little piece of cloth and then go out there! It's a pride issue, you understand. " he
explained.
" You will do fine! " La Flu put her hands on his shoulders, then bent down to his height, " Trust me. There are very
few people out on the runway so you will have no one to be embarassed infront of. "
Vegeta glanced past her at Goku, who was waving stupidly at him.
" What about Kakarrotto? "
" I'll send him downstairs to the vending machines. "
" ... "
" ... "
" Well... " Vegeta bit his lip uneasily.
" You'll do it? " she said anxiously.
" Alright. " Vegeta sighed, " But there better be as few people on this "runway" as you say there are!! " he
threatened.
" Trust me; very few. " La Flu said as Vegeta headed for the hotel room's bathroom, " It's the people surrounding the
runway you have to worry about. "
" No. There is absolutely NO WAY I am coming out of this room wearing this WASHCLOTH of a pair of shorts! " Vegeta
exclaimed from behind the bathroom door.
" Aww come on little Veggie, you wanna be FAMOUS don't you. " Goku asked.
" NOT IN MY UNDERWEAR I DON'T!!! "
" You know, technically it's not YOUR underwear Veggie, it's the company's. " Goku shrugged, " Besides, what's wrong
with showing a little skin for a few seconds infront of a few people. "
" ... "
" Mr. Oujisama! You're on in 15 seconds! " La Flu came flying into the room nervously, " WHY AREN'T YOU COMING OUT
OF THERE!! " she shrieked at the bathroom door.
" I, I don't want Kakarrotto to see me in any, err, revealing clothing. " Vegeta mumbled embarassingly from inside
the bathroom. He blushed wildly.
" OH COME OFF IT VEGGIE! I'VE SEEN YOU NAKED! I DON'T CARE! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT DOES MATTER IS THAT IF YOU DON'T
GET OUT THERE RIGHT NOW A LOTTA PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE DISAPPOINTED!!! " he shouted, then folded his arms.
" You too? " Vegeta squeaked out.
" Yes Veggie, me too. " Goku sent a cold stare at the door.
" ...Ms. La Flu. "
" Yes? " she answered him.
" I will exit the room once Kakarrotto has turned in the other direction and firmly covered his eyes with his hands."
Vegeta said, determined.
" Gosh Veggie you're taking this whole thing WAY to seriously. " Goku said skeptically as he did so.
Vegeta peeked out through the door, then stepped out.
" Alright. I am now exiting the bathroom. "
" Ooh! Really Veggie howsit look? " Goku opened his eyes and whipped around. The ouji shrieked.
" AHH! DON'T LOOK AT ME! COVER YOUR EYES! I'M INDECENT!!! " Vegeta panicked, ready to dash back into the bathroom.
" Sorry little Veggie the show must go on. " Goku grabbed him under the arms and walked him to backstage, " Now is
little Veggie ready to go show 'um who's boss? " he said proudly.
" Wait! " La Flu stopped them.
" What? What is it now? " Vegeta asked, his face flushed from what was about to happen to him.
" Don't you want to take that furry belt off first? " La Flu pointed to Vegeta's tail which was wrapped around his
waist.
" My be--OHHHHh. My "belt". No thank you, I'll keep it on. " he said, playing along, " It's a, err, lucky belt. "
" Heee, I'll say! " Goku grinned and squeezed a part of the 'belt' with his hand, causing the whole thing to turn
bright red, " See! Now it matches Veggie's panties! "
" They're not PANTIES, Kakarrotto! They're briefs! " Vegeta gritted his teeth.
" Look like panties to me. " Goku said innocently, looking over his shoulder.
" THESE ARE NOT "PANTIES"!!! " the ouji roared, then yelped as Goku pushed him through the curtain and onto the
catwalk. He instantly shut his eyes. Vegeta gulped, ::Don't picture them, don't picture anything at all. It's a blank,
completely and utterly empty room. Hai!:: he nodded, then proudly and still slightly angrily paraded down the runway. He
whipped around and turned to head back when he felt thousands of flashing lights on either side of him. The ouji tensed up
and opened his eyes to find there were thousands of people counterparting the flashing lights from what looked like to him as
thousands of cameras. Vegeta worked his hardest to keep himself from screaming in terror. He looked around the runway for
anyone else from the "few" La Flu had mentioned earlier and found them. Two girls who were working the lighting on either
side of the stage behind him. He swallowed hard and with what looked like unwavering bravery marched back off the runway.
Vegeta flicked the curtain aside in a cocky manner and exited. The moment he was out of the spotlight the ouji wailed and
fell to his knees in humiliation. He covered his burning face with his hands and groaned, " OHHHHHHHhhhh... "
" Veggie that was GREAT! I saw you on the monitor and you did such a GOOD JOB! " Goku said excitedly. La Flu grinned.
" Mr. Oujisama they LOVED it! Did you hear them cheering for you out there! " she clasped her hands together.
" And clapping and jeering and whistling and taking photos of me in this hideous outfit!!! " Vegeta moaned, bending
down even further.
" Aww, Veggie, I don't think you looked hideous at all. " Goku reached to pat him on the back.
" DON'T TOUCH ME WHEN I'M NAKED!!! " Vegeta snapped at him, then got up, " I need to make a phone call. "
" But Veggie you're not na-- "
" --I FEEL IT!! "
" *RING*!*RING*!*RING*! " Bulma looked over her shoulder at the telephone hanging against the wall. She got up out of
her chair at the kitchen table and casually walked over to the phone, " Hello? "
" BULMA! " a relieved voice practically screamed through the phone. Bulma shook her head and rubbed her ear in pain.
" Vegeta? " she cocked an eyebrow, " What are you-- "
" --Bulma. I'm sitting here squnched up in the corner of a hotel room in Paris wearing nothing but a little pair of
red satin panties!!! " he shivered.
" Vegeta-kun, I'm not really in the mood for this right now. "
" I'M NOT JOKING!! THIS IS THE TRUTH!! " the ouji shouted into the phone, petrified.
" I know it's the truth, I just saw you on channel 54. " Bulma peered into the living room at the TV screen.
" ...what? "
" Hmm? "
" Say that again. SLOWER this time. " Vegeta said, tense.
" I said. I, just, saw, you, on, channel, 54! " she repeated.
" THERE WERE _TELEVISION_ CAMERAS OUT THERE!!! " he shrieked, " I didn't even SEE the television cameras with all the
photographic ones flashing in my face! "
" I'm surprised you saw anything at all. You looked like you had your eyes closed the whole time. " Bulma went to
sit down on the couch infront of the TV.
" I did! That stupid lady told me there would only be a few people out there on the runway, but she NEVER MENTIONED
THE THOUSANDS BELOW IT!!! "
Bulma chuckled at him, " Yes, you should have seen the look on your face when you first opened your eyes! Wide as
SAUCERS! " she stopped laughing, " I'm just glad you didn't blast them all at once! "
" They couldn't have been THAT stupid, Bulma. After all they WERE cheering for ME. " Vegeta boasted.
" Oh brother. " Bulma rolled her eyes, " What a ham YOU are. Listen, Vegeta if anyone comes up to you and says
they're from the media, IGNORE THEM COMPLETELY! Don't tell them ANYTHING. The media just sucks every word out of your mouth
and re-arranges them on the front of their magazines to sell papers! They can make up WHOLE SCANDALS just by listening to the
way you word things and interupt them for their own liking! "
" So...don't say anything to them about you? "
" Got it! " Bulma gave him a thumbs-up.
" What about Kakarrotto? " Vegeta glanced over at Goku, who waved to him, " That's oh-kay, right? "
" OH! NO! No, don't say anything about Son-kun either! ESPECIALLY not about him! I don't want Son's family getting
scandalized because of this! Not to mention the fact that not everyone knows what a "little buddy" or a "saiyajin" is. "
" So? I'll just explain it to them! " Vegeta shrugged.
" NO NO NO! THE MEDIA DOESN'T _WANT_ "EXPLAINATIONS", VEGETA! It wants wild, bizzare, trashy rumors to sink its teeth
into! I mean if you even start going off talking about yourself being royalty you're going to have a LOT of problems on your
hands. " Bulma explained.
Vegeta slid down until he was sitting on the floor. He snorted, " I don't suppose you could get me out of that
contract thingy I signed, could you? "
" Well, I looked into that. It seems we CAN terminate the contract, but you're still signed on to do another 2 jobs
first. " Bulma sighed.
" KUSO! " the ouji cussed under his breath.
" I guess next time something like this comes up you'll listen to me, huh? " Bulma boasted, grinning ear-to-ear.
" ... "
" Vegeta? "
" *click*! " Bulma pulled the phone away from her ear in surprise, then growled at it and threw it to the ground,
" Why that egotistic little... "
" Well little Veggie, how did it go? " Goku asked as Vegeta set the phone down and walked past him and La Flu.
" I can get out of this gig, but I have to do it 2 more times before I can. " he grumbled.
" Aww, poor Veggie. " Goku said sadly, " Don't worry! I'll root for you on TV! "
" What? " Vegeta turned towards him. Goku was now looking down at his watch and counting.
" 3, 2, 1-- "
" *BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*BEEPBEEPBEEP*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB---- "
" AHHHH! KAKARROTTO MAKE IT STOP!! " Vegeta screamed, covering his ears with his hands.
" OH, OH-KAY!! " Goku shouted above the beeping of his watch, then pressed a button on it which caused the watch to
instantly fall dead silent, " There we go! " he said in his normal tone of voice, " Veggie is all better now! "
" Yes, I am. " Vegeta smacked the sides of his head a couple times, which were still ringing, " What WAS that? "
" That was my watch. It seems it is time for me to return home to Chi-chan. " Goku frowned slightly.
" WHAT?! YOU CAN'T GO NOW! I NEED YOU NOW!! " the panicked ouji grabbed Goku by the collar, " KAKARROTTO ANY MOMENT
NOW THOSE PAPARAZZI ARE GOING TO COME BURSTING IN HERE AND I CAN'T FACE THEM ALONE!!! "
" Awwwwwwww, Veggie needs my help? " Goku grinned, touched.
The ouji's face turned bright red. He quickly shook it off, " NO I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP! I NEED SOMEONE TO STAND
BEHIND ME, you know, for insurance purposes. "
" You mean like a bodyguard? " Goku asked, peculiarly.
" ...uh, yeah! Exactly like a bodyguard! " Vegeta answered cheerfully.
" Hee! I get to guard little Veggie! " the bigger saiyajin grinned, then paused, " But I have to go home now.
Chi-chan needs me. " he sighed.
" SO! _I_ NEED YOU!! " Vegeta waved his arms up and down in a panic; then froze realizing what he just said the ouji
slapped his hands over his mouth. Goku bent down to the ouji's height and stared at him with big sparkily eyes.
" Realllllllllllyyyyy, Veggie? " he said in a small voice.
" Uh, heh-heh. Heh... " Vegeta laughed nervously, " I, I didn't mean that, really. It, err, kind of slipped...out. "
" AWW VEH-GEE! " Goku grabbed Vegeta and gave him a hug, " You don't have to hide anything from me! " he looked at
his watch and gulped, " But if there's anything else you wanna tell me it's gonna have to wait until later. Bye! " he
teleported home. Vegeta stared at the now blank space and groaned.
" O-CHI-CHAAAN! I AM HOME! " Goku said happily as he teleported into the kitchen, " And right on time too...well, a
little late, but that's only Veggie's fault cuz he delayed me. But guess what? Veggie says he NEEDS me! " he grinned, " See,
I told you it was important that he had someone to take care of him, right Chi-chan? " Goku looked around the house, only to
find it empty, " Chi-chan? Chi-chan? "
" GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... "
The large saiyajin froze and looked nervously over his shoulder at the source of the growl to find Chi-Chi angrily
staring at him with what looked like a very large ax held over her head, " YOU LET THAT OUJI TAKE YOU AWAY WITHOUT YOUR
SAFETY DEVICES, DIDN'T YOU! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW ANGRY I AM RIGHT NOW!!! " she swung the ax back and forth violently.
" Umm, I think I have a good idea. " Goku said nervously as he backed up and placed his two fingers on his forehead.
Chi-Chi's eyes widened, " Goku? Goku where are you going? You better not go back to where-ever you left that Ouji or
I swear I'll STRANGLE him the very second I see him next. "
" I--I--I-- " he nervously fuddled with his fingers, then desicively plucked them onto his forehead and teleported
off, " AHHH!! "
" Urg! " Vegeta grunted as he and La Flu held their backs against the door, trying to keep the large group of people
from breaking in, " Tell me? Does this happen often? " he asked with sarcasm. She narrowed her eyes at him just as a familiar
figure appeared in the room.
" Hi-Veggie-I'm-back! " Goku said quickly, his nerves shot.
" KAKARROTTO! GREAT! " Vegeta grinned, " Here! Hold this door back while I get changed into my regular clothes! "
" Huh? " Goku walked over to him. Vegeta flipped where he and the other saiyajin were standing so it was now Goku who
was holding the door back. Goku sweatdropped as the ouji ran into the bathroom.
" THANKS KAKARROTTO!!! "
" Ohhhh... " Goku hung his head. He laughed nervously at La Flu, " Umm, excuse me, but why are we doing this again? "
" Well, we're presently holding back this door to save Mr. Oujisama from the paparazzi. Apparently he called his
wife and has decided he'd rather not be "hounded" by any news reporters.
" News reporters? " Goku questioned as Vegeta bounded back into the room now in his normal training gear and holding
his, *ahem* underwear in his glove. The ouji tossed it into the bathroom and ran to the others.
" Why thank you for your help Kakarrotto! I KNEW you'd come for me. " he said cheerfully as he shook Goku's hand.
" Well, actually Veggie I just came back for a little while cuz Chi-chan's on a wild barbaric rage right now so what
I'm gonna do is stay here a lil bit longer and then teleport to Capsule Corp and WALK home from there. Hopefully by the
time I get home Chi-chan won't be as sore as she was when I left. " Goku explained.
" Surrrrre Kakarrotto. I believe you. " Vegeta chuckled. Goku stepped forward.
" OOH! VEGGIE I AM TELLING THE TRUTH! "
Vegeta shrieked as the door blew open from behind them, " AAH! KAKARROTTO, THE DOOR!! " he screamed as hundreds of
people came pouring into the room. The two saiyajin managed to take refuge upon the bedposts in the room. A sea of media
people surrounded the bed and some even attempted to climb the bedposts to reach them.
" Hello sir I hear your Ms. La Flu's new model? "
" Where do you come from, son? "
" Who's your tall friend here? What's your relationship to him? "
" Can you state your full name for me please? "
Goku and Vegeta sweatdropped at the dozens of people talking at once, " Wow Veggie. " Goku said in shock, " Bulma
WAS right. These people ARE scary! "
Vegeta glared at him, " Aww shut up Kakarrot!! "

10:12 PM 8/7/2002
END OF PART TWO!
Chuquita: I knew a couple people were waiting for the paparazzi to show up so I squeezed a lil bit more into this part
than the last chapter just so I could at least start getting to them. (to Son) You know how hard it is to spell "paparazzi"?
Goku: (confused) Paparasberry?
Veggy: (also confused) You mean like Mamarasberry?
Goku: Or would it be Mamarasberry-ann?
Chuquita: (sweatdrops)
Vegeta: (also sweatdrops) (amused sarcasm) Why don't you ask them about Auntie Orange and Sister Strawberry.
Chuquita: Shuddup!
Vegeta: (big evil smirk)
Chuquita: (flatly) Well Veggie I'm glad you're enjoying this.
Vegeta: (grin) That I am!
Chuquita: Oh! Before we go any further I gotta recommend something and no this is not a plug. If anyone gets the chance to
watch episode 281 "Hold on Vegeta; a One Minute Fight at the Risk of Life" (I think it's called) do so. I saw the japanese
one off this one site and it's just a great episode all together. Veggie allows Son-kun the minute he needs to form his
SSJ3 aura power thing (only saw subtitles; yet to see english version) and fights Buu to hold him off. Funny stuff: "You,
you weren't worried about me?"--Veggie quote. Vedge is floating behind Goku who's angry because he can't get the time he
needs to power up right and I from what I gathered I think Veggie thought Goku could gather it while he was fighting Buu
but was holding back because he didn't want Veggie to hurt. And when Veggie finds out this is not the case (I swear the
poor guy looks devastated) he pitifully whimpers that line I quoted a couple lines up. It's funny cuz all throughout the
episodes previous and even after he says this to himself he keeps telling Son "don't worry about me", "stop worrying about
me", "worry about yourself".
Vegeta: (glares at her) You love it when I contradict myself, don't you, Chu?
Chuquita: Yes I do. Two other reasons to download this episode. You get to find out how to correctly pronounce
saiyajin no ouji. For the longest time I've been pronouncing it "wee-jee" when it's actually "O-jee". (Veggie cocks his
head at her) What? Ouji, Oujia board. One letter, I figure it was said the same. (back to audiance) Last is the really
funny face Veggie makes when Buu swooshes his arm out like Gumby and tries to choke Veggie's whole body. I mean I know
he eventually gets free but he makes such a funny expression. (which looks even funnier in the preview of the next ep).
Vegeta: (ticked) Are you done?
Chuquita: Hmm? Yeah, I think so.
Vegeta: Good. Now ONTO THE QUESTIONS FROM MY SAIYAJIN-LOVING FANS TO I, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI!
[Goku & Veggy pull out a bag containing the letters]
Goku: Which one first little Veggie?
Vegeta: Let's go in order. Start from the first one at the bottom of the pile and we'll work our way up.
Goku: (thumbs-up) You got it Veggie!
Vegeta: So? How many questions did I get?
Chuquita: Out of the 18 reviews we've gotten so far 7 people submitted questions for you, Vedge.
Veggy: (smiles) See! That's almost half.
Vegeta: (dryly) Almost. [reaches into the bag and pulls out the first letter] Here's the first question for yours truely.
(big grin) I love this. [opens the letter] The first letter is from Gie who asks..."Bulma, why? when? how? And what can I do
to make it me?" (sweatdrop) Obviously, I am not Bulma so I cannot answer this one. Exactly HOW Bulma-chan and I got together
is a mystery to be left for the ages. (evil smirk) Next letter! And make sure this one is directed to ME this time, Kakarrot.
Goku: (grin) K! [grabs a letter and hands it to Veggie] (to audiance) This one is from Maria Cline.
Vegeta: Who writes: "If Goku *ahem* Kakarot gives you one order and Bulma gives you an opposing order and you have to obey
only one of those orders, who would you obey?" (thinks) Well, I suppose it would depend on what the order was. I would
probably say Bulma though because I can gain Kakarrotto's forgiveness MUCH MUCH easier.
Goku: (pouty-face) That doesn't mean I'm not important, does it little Veggie?
Vegeta: (pats him on the back) Of course not, Kaka-chan.
Goku: (happily) YAY! [hugs Veggie & lets go] Heeheehee!
Vegeta: (to audiance) See? Simple. It is much more complicated to get Bulma to forgive me for ANYTHING. (looks a the letter)
Here's the other part of Maria Cline's question. "Also, I read up in a different fic that Saiyans have different type of
'germs'. Like the Kakagerms and the Veggiegerms. Is it possible that my own Saiyan, Tomata (Salid) would have 'germs' or
'cooties' since she's a girl?" Hmm, since germs don't really specify to just one gender of the saiyajin species, I'd say yes,
she probably does have some form or another of them. Next!
Goku: The next question is from Ouji Chan. Look Veggie, another ouji.
Vegeta: [grabs the letter] (snaps at him) _I_ am the only ouji YOU have to worry about, Kakarrotto!
Goku: (to Chu) Somebody is a little touchy about his royalness.
Chuquita: (nods)
Vegeta: Alright, person number 3 with question number 3 writes...
Chuquita: Types...they're typing their...questions...
Vegeta: (glare) WRITES, "if the ouji here loves his Kaka chan so much, why does he always get so nervous and annoyed when
Goku hugs him? and it can't be because of pride because he's not nearly that egotistical anymore" (angry) WHO SAYS I'M NOT
STILL EGOTISTICAL!! I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI!!
Veggy: But you didn't answer the question.
Vegeta: (sweatdrop) Umm, well I, I don't like Kakarrotto hugging me because...of his Kako-cooties! Yes! I would rather not
be infected by his nasty Kako-disease. And being hugged is a way to catch it. HA! So there! (to Chu) Next question.
Chuquita: (to Veggie) Did you know you're avoiding answering any questions that get to personal for you, Veggie?
Vegeta: (gritting his teeth) (slightly embarassed) JUST...GIVE...ME...THE...NEXT...LETTER!
Chuquita: The next letter, #4, is from Gaia Faye, who writes, "If there were some horrible event where Bura and Goku were in
terrible, TERRIBLE danger and there were only enough time to save one- ONLY ONE- of them, who would Vejjie save from the
clutches of DOOM?!"
Vegeta: ...uhhhhhh, well, B-chan can't fly or perform any tricks to free herself...but Kakarrotto's already be wished back
an obsensely amount of times and if we tried he might say no like he did the last two times...would Kakarrotto be completely
helpless or--
Chuquita: Vedge just answer the question.
Vegeta: Umm, puh, probably Bura because Kakarrotto can easily save himself with his whole SSJ3 thing and the teleportation
trick of his and--
Goku: (big sad baby-eyes) But what if I WASN'T able to do any of that stuff, little Veggie?
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) Uhhh, uhhh, (bites his lip) (quickly) I'd-save-you-because-them-I-could-easily-wish-Bura-back-
-with-the-dragonballs!!!
Goku: YAY! (cheers)
Vegeta: (groans) Question 5, Chu?
Chuquita: Question number 5 is from Nekoni.
Vegeta: (slaps himself on the forehead) Oh NO!
Goku: Heeheehee, Nekoni writes, "When did Goku become Kakay? -and- when did you start blushing when he hugged you? -A
question for Goku- when was your VERY FIRST buddy-smooch with Veggie- and do you wanna' re-act it for us? *evil smirk*"
Vegeta: (embarassed) I KNEW she was going to ask something like that! [grabs the letter from Son's hands] "Kakay"...well,
back in "Til Death Do Us Part" to keep me from being arrested by the intergalatic police we had to pretend Kakarrotto was a
girl for a couple weeks and when they asked her name I automatically started to say Kakarrotto but caught myself and spat out
Kakay instead, being Kakarrotto's a male saiyajin name.
Goku: (confused) They why do you still call me Kakay every once in a while?
Vegeta: Uhhhhh, no comment.
Chuquita: (tired after looking through her many diskettes for the answer to the second question) Veggie starts blushing in
part 3 of Plushie. Techincally Son wasn't hugging him directly, he was hugging Plushie (who was voodoo-ed by Dende) and from
then on the glowing became a regular thing.
Vegeta: DARN YOU PLUSH TOY!! [shakes fist in the air]
Goku: Lookie she gave me a question too! (blinks) The first time I gave Veggie a "buddy-smooch"? (thinks hard) Gee I haven't
given many of those...I think it was back in the Christmas Special fic when he gave me those fishy slippers and I mistletoe'd
the lil ouji. (blink) Does she mean re-act or re-enact? Well, Veggie reacted by getting very mad at me, if that's what you're
asking. But re-enact, you mean do smooch him again right now?
Vegeta: [rips the paper into pieces] (nervous laugh) Uh, heh-heh-heh. Of course she didn't mean re-enact, Kakarrot. Heh, heh.
Veggy: Question number 6 is from Luna Inverse who writes, "Veggie, when you shoot ki blast through your hands with your
gloves on, do your gloves get a hole in them or something?"
Vegeta: (smiles with relief) Bless you Luna for a non-personal-life question. No I don't get a hole in my gloves because the
ki is formed above my hands. The energy sort of seeps through the gloves in a way. (to Chu) ALRIGHT! I'm feeling more
confident now! NUMBER 7!!
Chuquita: Unknown writes asking, "What exactly did he see in Bulma anyway???"
Vegeta: (still confident) Well, she's pretty, shares a similar counterpart ego to myself, creates the amazing technology that
allows me to train and...umm, well there's more but I'd rather not ramble on right now. NUMBER 8!
Goku: (in same voice) NUMBER 8!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops)
Goku: Our last question is from Lexi Q who asks, "Okay...Veggie, there has to be one bad thing about Bura, what is it?
And don't say nothing because that's just a pathetic attempt to weasle out of answering the question!"
Vegeta: Pushy.
Chuquita: What?
Vegeta: Bura's a little...pushy. Especially about the, uh, buddyship between Kakarrotto and I. She's always trying to push it
around at a faster pace than I like to. Bura's also pushy when she wants me to play her little girl-games with her.
Chuquita: Well, there ya go. All questions have been answered...sorta. (sweatdrops) In Part 3's Corner's we plan to talk
about how other characters have changed. Mainly Goku, Chi-Chi, and Bura. We'll see you then.
Goku: (a la tigger) Ta-ta-for-now!
Veggy: Toodles!
Vegeta: Whatever.
Chuquita: Later!...well I thought that went pretty well, don't you?
Goku: Grapes are made for stomping, suitcases are made for lugging, cherries are made for picking, and Veggies are made for
hugging!
Vegeta: (glows bright red and slams his head on the desk)
Chuquita: Ooh, good one, Son-kun.
Goku: (grins) Thank you.
