Quote of the Week: -from dbz ep 170 "Son Goku Survived - All of the Z Warriors Resurrected!!"
{Mrs Briefs:} Welcome, this is Bulma's boyfriend? He's so handsome. Very trendy.
*Vegeta once again stares wide-eyed*
{Vegeta:} Trendy??
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: (to Veggie) You can pretty much guess the reason for this Quote of the Week.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Where do you FIND this stuff!
Chuquita: Eh, places. (shrugs; grinning)
Goku: (happily) I happen to agree with Mrs. Briefs. Veggie is indeed "very trendy".
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) Heh-heh-heh...you really think so Kakay?
Goku: Yup! (nods)
Vegeta: (proudly) Am I *a-hem*, handsome, also, Kakarrotto-chan?
Goku: Hmm... [rubs his chin thoughtfully] (smiles) Lil Veggie's more on the cute scale for me!
Vegeta: (demanding) HOW cute?
Goku: (taken aback) Well, uhh..you mean on a scale from 1 to 10?
Vegeta: Hai! (nods)
Goku: Gosh little Veggie, I can't exactly just place you a number. [scratches his head] HA! (grins) I know! Little Veggie is
cuter than a chocolate-covered marshmellow sitting in a whipped cream wonderland on a shelf in a pastry shop with a little
crown of sugar-sprinkles on top! (embarassed giggles) Heeheehee!
Vegeta: ...
Goku: Veggie?
Vegeta: ...
Goku: Veggie?
Vegeta: (glowing) (w/a big doofy grin) I don't know what you said....but the WAY you said it! WOW....
Goku: (spins his chair around to across the desk from Veggie) (cheerfully) So little buddy, how cute am I?
Chuquita: (snickers) Son! Don't ask him questions while he's off in La-La Land.
Goku: (pouts)
Chuquita: ...eh, alright. Go ahead, ask away.
Goku: (to the dazed ouji) Little Veggie am I cute?
Vegeta: (murmuring, still in a daze) Cute as an angel sent from the heavens to fulfill my every need and desire...
Goku: (eagerly) Even the secret ones?
Vegeta: (still dazed) ESPECIALLY the secret ones.
Goku: (loud-enough-for-ya?) WOO-HOO!!!!
Vegeta: Wha-huh? (looks around, confused) Wha happened?
Goku: (innocently) Nothin little Veggie.
Vegeta: ..oh.
Chuquita: You embarassed yourself while your brain was in Veggie-fantasy-Land again.
Vegeta: I WHAT!!! (freezes, then glares at the figure to his far left)
Goku: (giggles and waves at him)
Vegeta: (points at Chu) THIS IS ALL _YOUR_ FAULT!
Chuquita: WHAT?!
Vegeta: YOU ALLOWED KAKARROTTO TO ASK ME PERSONAL QUESTIONS WHILE MY MIND WAS ONLY HALF HERE!! THEREFORE ANYTHING I SAY OR
DO WHILE GLOWING SHALL BE RENDERED AN INVALID AND FALSE!
Goku: (sadly) Veggie thinks I'm ugly?
Vegeta: GAH!! (sweatdrops) NO! No you're not ugly at all, you're, uhh, you're beautiful.
Goku: AWWW, [sits back in his chair] Veggie thinks I'm bee-yoo-tee-full!
Vegeta: (nervous laughter) Uh, heh heh heh heh. Chu?
Chuquita: Hmm? OH! (to audiance) Seeing as we've nearly encompassed everything else that's changed in our stories over the
past 2 years, we've decided to dedicate Part 4's Corner to, well, the Corner; along with everything else that happens to be
at the beginning and end of each story such as the Quotes of the Week, etc. Back in the beginning the layout for this little
section was Start Time; author's e-mail; author's name (grins; points to herself) that's me!; Title of story, Summary, and
the Corner, which at first didn't even have a name. After each chapter of a story there'd be little questions of what's going
to happen next or more personal notes and stuff. The first Corner was in the second chapter of Veggienapped, but a far cry
from what's going on here now. [glances over at Son]
Goku: HEEE! [flashes a big happy grin at Veggie, who snorts and embarassingly turns his back to Son] Little Veggie is shy.
Vegeta: I AM NOT!!
Chuquita: (sweatdrop) We also had a brief stint doing disclaimers, (dbz doesn't belong to me, yadda yadda) but that quickly
dropped when I pretty much realized "hey, there's so many pieces of fanfiction out there there's no way Funi or Toei's going
to single out one person and sue them for writing stories based on their characters". That, and basically I forgot to do it
after so many stories. The first "Quote of the Week" appeared in place of the disclaimer. (Part 2 of Mamamia) [looks at
document] (sweatdrops) And guess who happened to be the first person to be the quoted in the Quote of the Week. [narrows her
eyes and glances to her right]
Vegeta: (with a big 'ol satisfied grin on his face) (innocently) Who? MEEEEEE?
Chuquita: I don't know how ya done it but I know ya done it. (sighs) The first quote of the week is by the dubbed Veggie.
"This is easier than coloring inside the lines!" from the Freezer season/saga.
Goku: (looks down at his coloring book) I agree with little Veggie. Coloring can be difficult at times.
Vegeta: (dryly) Thanks for the support Kakarrotto.
Goku: (sweetly) You're welcome Veggie!
Vegeta: (glows bright red) ...
Chuquita: I like to use the Corner as a little mini-break from writing the actual story. It gives me a chance to cool off and
sometimes our Corners have their own entirely different storylines. It also keeps me from attempting any self-insertions
which I think are kinda egotistic. But that's just me.
Goku: Corners also have a lot of plotholes in them.
Chuquita: (to Son) Like you for example.
Goku: Huh?
Chuquita: When I did the first Corner in Dum-Dums I had invited Veggie to "temporarily" co-host. By the time part 2 of that
fic came around Son-San had appeared out of nowhere along with the ouji.
Goku: (grins) And has been here ever since.
Chuquita: With the exception of the two Tenchi fics I wrote where Sasami was the co-co-host and the other where Ayeka was the
co-co-host. (to Son) You know that really IS a weird title. "Co-co-host".
Goku: What do you want me to call it? Co-host squared?
Chuquita: (flinches) Ech. Nah, that doesn't sound right. Let's just keep it at co-co-host.
Vegeta: (off in Veggie lala Land) Heh-heh, ka-ka-host.
Chuquita: You know I've seen doujinshi covers that write Kaka as Ca 2.
Goku: Ca two?
Chuquita: No, Ca squared. For some reason notepad doesn't let me use super-script. [shrugs] Don't know why. (to Son) I don't
like seeing your name written as Cacarrotto through. I prefer the manga spelling better. Same reason I don't like
spelling our little ouji's name as Vejita. Just don't like how it looks. Anyway, on with Part 4!
Goku: The final chapter of Veggie-wear!
Chuquita: What I THINK might be the final chapter of Veggie-wear.
Goku: (cheerfully) Well we'll find out now, won't we!
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!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Luh--Little Veggie...what are we looking at? " Goku said as they both stared at the magazine cover, his voice
trembling.
" Something that, that seems to have somehow escaped from the firey pits of the underworld, Kakarrot. " Vegeta
murmured, his voice also shaking.
" Close! " La Flu said cheerfully, swiping the magazine from them, " This, my friends, is a Tabloid. A magazine with
an advertisement-like paper that uses powerful, blatant, rumorous headlines in order to get people to buy it. Most tabloids
target people in the media, such as yourself, who have become wealthy and or incrediously famous! People love hearing about
hollywood scandels and let me tell you the tabloids are just as good at digging them up, or if necessary, fabricating their
own, thereby tarnishing the reputations of many a star. " she explained while flipping through the magazine.
" But, but if it's all made up...wha, the, PICTURE!!! " Goku exclaimed, pointing at the photo on the cover, blushing
with embarassment, " I KNOW I NEVER DID WHAT THAT ME IS DOING IN THAT PICTURE RIGHT NOW!!! " he shrieked, then glanced over
at Vegeta and shivered, sickened.
" WHAT! " Vegeta snapped at him, " DON'T LOOK AT ME! IF THAT HAD HAPPENED I WOULD HAVE REMEMBERED DOING IT!!! "
Goku shivered again.
" Calm down boys! " La Flu patted Goku on the shoulder, " With the technology today photographers can easily splatch
pictures together by using computers to turn what might be 3 or 4 different photographs look like one big fake image. It's
like those pictures of "ufo sightings" or "bigfoot". It's all fake. "
" Buh, buh, but some people are going to BELIEVE IT!!! " Vegeta yelled in horror, " WE HAVE TO DESTORY IT NOW!! "
" Ugh, 'Geta, there are MILLIONS of copies of this very newspaper all over the world! How do think they stay in
business! " La Flu shook her head. Vegeta's face turned a pale white. He fell to his knees in shock.
" I'll never be able to show my face to Kakarrotto and his bakayaro friends ever again! " Vegeta whimpered,
frightened.
Goku grabbed the magazine and looked over the picture carefully, " I, I suppose it IS possible..but, I would NEVER..
I just COULDN'T do that to...and what about Chi-chan!... "
" Face it Kakarrotto! It's FAKE! " Vegeta shouted, " La Flu is right. It was just some of those sick reporters out
to, to darken our names. "
" Then how did they know WHAT YOUR BEDROOM LOOKS LIKE!! "
" What? " the ouji cocked an eyebrow.
" YOU'RE BEDROOM! VEGGIE THAT'S YOUR BEDROOM IN THIS PICTURE!! YOU'RE _REAL_ BEDROOM! " Goku jumped up and down
nervously.
" Nonsense Kakarrotto, it only looks SIMILAR to my bedroom. " Vegeta brushed it off.
" SIMILAR?! Veggie that's Pookee sitting up there on the bookcase in the backround!! " he pointed to the small, brown
stuffed bear in the picture.
" ... " Vegeta's eyes widened, " Holy mother of cow that IS Pookee. And that IS my bookcase! Then that means-- "
" --that IS your room Veggie!!! " Goku finished the sentence.
" But when were they in my room! " Vegeta said angrily.
" And how did they know what my butt looks like!! " Goku gawked in shock.
" ...that's uh...that's what your...your, umm, your tush really looks like...eh, Kakarrotto? " Vegeta shifted
uneasily.
" I KNOW what my own butt looks like Veggie! " Goku said stubbornly, " And that picture just doesn't do it justice at
all. "
" Easy for you to say--nudist. " Vegeta muttered.
" Really, that's it in the photo! Look! " Goku reached for the bottom of his gi and bent over, ready to drop his
pants.
" WHY I NEVER!! " La Flu stared at him in disgust as the saiyajin let his pants fall, then reached for his boxers.
" AHH! KAKARROTTO STOP IT!!! " Vegeta grabbed Goku's drawers at the waist to stop the larger saiyajin from pushing
them down, " WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!!! "
" *SNAP!* "
The duo froze in place. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Tell me that wasn't a camera flash going off somewhere in the backround. " he said flatly, looking out the corner
of his eye.
" Veggie there!! " Goku pointed to the open window off to the side of the room. Vegeta pushed Goku away and ran over
to the window just intime to see a young woman in an overcoat sliding down a ladder with a camera around her neck and dashing
down the street.
" HEY YOU! COME BACK HERE SO I CAN RIP YOU APART!!! " Vegeta screamed in rage, " Darn you STUPID humans for having
such low ki! Sometimes I wish you were even twice as more powerful in general just so I could TELL WHERE THE HECK YOU ARE
WHEN YOU'RE SPYING ON ME!!! " he let his shoulders slump and groaned.
" Well there's another picture that's headed for the headlines tommorow. " La Flu said with sarcasm. Vegeta pouted.
" I can't even get anywhere NEAR Kakarrotto without some bakayaro popping their head in and snapping pictures
whenever what we're doing looks the SLIGHTEST bit suggestive!!!" Vegeta groaned, " IT'S NOT FAIR!! WHY MUST THEY DO THIS TO
ME AND MY PEASANT!!! "
" Honestly, 'Geta-- " La Flu began.
" AND YOU! " he snapped at her, " YOU'RE ANOTHER ONE!! EITHER GET MY NAME RIGHT OR DON'T REFER TO ME BY IT AT ALL! "
" I know what your "name" is, 'Geta. It's just that using a nickname is a good way to get noticed. Vegeta sounds like
a vegetable's name. "
" AND "GETA" SOUNDS LIKE A GIRLY NAME!! " the ouji yelled, " KAKARROT IS BETTER AT NICKNAMEING ME! HE'S MY PEASANT!
HE HAS THE RIGHT TO MAKE UP KAKA-NAMES FOR ME! YOU _DON'T_!!! "
" Hmm, I do see a striking resemblence. "
Vegeta and La Flu turned around to see Goku looking over his shoulder at him bottom and comparing it to the one on
the cover of the magazine; the saiyajin now buck-naked from the waist down.
" I don't know how they did it but WOW that is definately my behind in the picture. " Goku nodded proudly.
Vegeta whinced and instantly covered his eyes with his hands, chanting something incoherently over-and-over again.
" Ugh, " La Flu walked over to Goku, " Listen, Mr--Mr-- " she paused, suddenly realizing she had never asked the
saiyajin's name, " Mr... " she now said as if coaxing him to finish the sentence, " Kakarrotto? "
" Son Goku. " he responded.
She looked at him, surprised, " Son Go--but all this time 'Geta's been calling you... "
" Kakarrotto is his birth name. "Son Goku" is merely Kaka-chan's nickname given to him by his adoptive grandfather. "
Vegeta explained.
" Veggie know my birth name's last name? " Goku asked innocently. La Flu elbowed Goku and motioned him to cover his
privates with the magazine in his hands. Goku did so, letting the other two people in the room let out a sigh of relief.
" Hmm... " Vegeta thought back, " YOUR last name...well it's obviously the same as the rest of your family members...
and I DO remember Raditsu telling me the family's last name at one point... " he rubbed his chin, then stopped as if the
answer had just slapped him across the face. A big evil smirk engulfed it, " What an ironic twist of fate. " he muttered to
himself.
Goku leaned forth anxiously, " Well? "
" Koi. It's a word that translates into "love". " the ouji let out a little chuckle, " I remember how embarassed
your older brother was when he, Nappa, and I landed on a planet to destory it and we each announced our names. He completely
dropped his last name after we demolished the planet of giggly elf children. They teased him so badly that after he blew it
up he responded to anything you said to him with an enraged roar for the next 3 weeks. Nappa and I had a gas making fun of
him. " Vegeta recalled fondly.
" That's not very nice Veggie. " Goku pouted.
" Neither is what that woman who just took that snapshot is going to do with it. " Vegeta said shortly.
Goku frowned, " Sorry Veggie. " he said, then perked up, " You know, that's really not a bad name, Kakarrotto Koi.
It's got the same consonants at the beginning of each word. Like Chuckie Cheese. Or Porky Pig, or Donald Duck. "
" Baka! If you think half the pranks I've pulled on Raditsu are mean-spirited think what would happen if those "media
personel" knew your saiyajin last name...HA! They would praise the heavens that you merely exist for them to sink their
rumor-hungry jaws into! "
" 'Geta it's 6:30. We have to get going. " La Flu said, glancing down at her watch.
" Going?! I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH THOSE, "PEOPLE" OUT THERE! " Vegeta shouted.
" But we have an important date to get to. And after this you only have one more modeling job on your contract and
then I can let you go. " she looked pressed for time.
Vegeta smiled, " Really? One more after this, eh? " he grabbed a blanket off the bed and heaved it overtop of himself
and flattening his hair in the process. The ouji grinned beneath the pink sheet, then punched to holes with his fingers for
him to see out of, " HA! Alright, I'm ready! " he said proudly.
" ... " La Flu looked at him like just sprouted a third eye.
" What? They can take my picture all they want in this gettup. There's nothing juicy about a stranger covered in a
bed-sheet. "
La Flu smiled, " That's pure genius, 'Geta! "
" VEgeta. " he narrowed his eyes at her.
" Very well, let's get going. " she said cheerfully, leading him out of the room. Goku followed them, only to have
La Flu turn and glare at him, " And, Son Goku? "
" Yes? "
" Put your pants back on! " La Flu said, clearly annoyed.
Goku looked down, " Oh yeah! Be right back! " he ran off, then returned seconds later, fully clothed, " Better? " he
chirped.
" Better. Now follow me. " she made her way down the stairs.
Goku cheered, " YAY! "
" Heeheehee. "
Vegeta narrowed his eyes in frustration at the all-to-familiar little giggle beside him. He groaned, " I know I'll
regret even asking this....*sigh*, what is so funny Kakarrotto? " he glanced over at the larger saiyajin sitting beside him
in the limo. La Flu was sitting farther up near the front of the car and driver, leaving the two flustered saiyajins in the
back.
" You look just like one of those ghosts on the Pac-Man games. " Goku giggled, " You know, Inky, Blinky, Pinky and
Clyde? "
" "Clyde", Kakarrot? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow.
Goku just nodded happily.
" "Clyde". " he repeated dryly.
" Well, actually you look more like Pinky cuz Pinky was-- "
" --let me guess, pink? "
" YEAH! " Goku clasped his hands together, " Gosh I didn't know you played arcade games too little Veggie! We should
play TOGETHER sometime! "
The ouji started to glow bright red underneath his seat, setting it on fire. Goku yelped and backed away.
" VEGGIE! YOUR SHEET!!! "
" Huh wah wah? " the dazed ouji looked upward, then shrieked and lept onto the floor.
" REMEMBER VEGGIE! STOP DROP AND ROLL! STOP DROP AND ROLL! " Goku cried as Vegeta did so, quickly putting out the
fire. He snarled at Goku, took his now burnt sheet off his body and handed it to him. Goku smiled at the sheet and held it up
, then poked his head through the large burnt out hole and stuffed it downward. He eagerly tapped on Vegeta's shoulder, " Hey
Veggie, like my new skirt? "
Vegeta looked over at the grinning peasant, who was now wearing Vegeta's sheet as a skirt. He sweatdropped, " It's
lovely, Kakarrotto. " he sarcastically remarked.
" AWWWWWW you really think I'm loverly little Veggie? " Goku blushed lightly.
" ... " Vegeta paused for a moment at the reaction, then looked up at the roof of the car, " Whoever did this--thank
you. " he grinned, then smirked evilly at the other saiyajin, " Why yes Kakay, I happen to think it looks wonderful on you. "
he patted Goku on the shoulder and shooched closer to the large saiyajin, " Do you enjoy it when I compliment you Kaka-chan?"
" Mmm-hmm. " Goku nodded happily.
" And, just for curiousity's sake, why is that? " he rubbed his hands together menacingly.
" Well-- " Goku started, then yelped suddenly as a loud car horn beeped from Goku's side of the rode. Vegeta growled
at the horrible timing and climbed over his companion to open the window to the limo only to have several bright lights flash
in his face.
" AAHH!! " Vegeta covered his eyes as he wailed in pain. Goku sweatdropped as he watched the speeding car holding
several people with cameras fly off into the distance.
" Uh-oh Veggie I think they got you again. " Goku said in a sing-song voice.
" Rule number 1 of riding in a limo. Never open the windows for ANYBODY. " La Flu nodded wisely.
Vegeta groaned as he lay tumbled about over the bigger saiyajin, " Kakarrotto, PLEASE close the window. "
" You got it little Veggie! " Goku chirped, doing so.
" Ugh! " the ouji groaned in disgust, " I don't know how much more of this I can take. " Vegeta put his hand on his
forehead.
" Aww, poor sweet baby. " Goku rubbed his hand through the ouji's hair. Vegeta froze, realizing he was still draped
across the larger saiyajin. He quickly got up and zipped over to the other side of the limo, whistling a nervous little
tune.
" So? Where are we going? " Vegeta asked La Flu, desperately in need to change the subject.
" Photo shoot. " she responded.
Vegeta nearly choked, " Wha--WHAT?! "
" A photo shoot. You know, when we take pictures of you and put them in ads and such. " La Flu explained.
" Ads..ads as in MAGAZINES!! " he glared at Goku and swiped the magazine out of the saiyajin's hands.
" Hey! Veggie that was a very interesting fake story the newsperson wrote about us. " Goku pouted.
Vegeta hissed at him.
" No, not in THOSE magazines. REGULAR magazines, 'Geta. " she sighed.
" Well, I suppose I could do that...as long as we keep Kakarrotto as far away from the cameras as possible. He'll
need to wait in the car. "
" 'wait in the car'?? " Goku sniffled, looking deeply hurt.
Vegeta looked over at Goku, who's eyes were now filled to the brim with tears.
" But, but little Veh-GEEE... " he stared at Vegeta with wobbily big sparkily eyes.
" Ehhhh... " Vegeta reered back, his face glowing bright red, " Ca--calm down Kakay, it's not that I don't WANT you
to be there, I just want to keep you safe from any roaming tabloid photographers. I can't have you around anymore if they
think you're my---my-- "
" --VEGGIE HATES ME!!!! " Goku wailed at the top of his lungs, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Vegeta panicked, " NO! No I don't hate you Kakay really I don't!! " he shouted as the car came to a stop.
" YES YOU DO YOU HATE ME!!! " the bigger saiyajin sobbed wildly as he burst out of the car and onto a red carpet,
crying and rubbing his eyes.
" NO! Oh Kakay I don't hate you at all! " Vegeta begged, trying to coax Goku back into the car, " Kakay I luh-- "
Vegeta froze as every person and TV/radio/photographic camera turned his way. Vegeta got out of the car and pulled Goku down
to his height, then whispered the rest of the sentence in his ear. A large smile instantly covered Goku's face.
" ... " his eyes widened with excitement, " VEGGIE LOVES ME!!!! " Goku squealed at the top of his lungs. Vegeta's
face turning a hot red as Goku picked up the ouji and hugged him. He then set the dreamily dazed ouji back on his feet.
Vegeta let out a small giggle, then glared at the people around him.
" SCAM WILL YA!! "
The group quickly zipped away. Vegeta snorted.
" Those must have been the REGULAR news reporters. " Goku said in surprise.
Vegeta muttered, " No kidding. Now move along, I don't have all day! "
" Yes little Veggie. Whatever you say! " Goku said cheerfully as he pranced into the building.
" "whatever you say". I like that phrase. " Vegeta rubbed his chin, smirking, " I like it a lot. "Whatever you say,
V-sama; O-ruler of my very existance, conqueror of my sweet Kaka-soul"...heh-heh, yeah. Good phrase, Kakarrotto. VERY good. "
" Wow, look at all the people. " Vegeta muttered in surprise as they entered the building. He smiled, " All here for
ME. "
" OOH! OH VEGGIE LOOK AT ALL THE PRETTY COSTUMES!! " Goku squealed as he zipped around a large rack of outfits, " You
think they'd let me have one? "
" I'm sure they will Kakarrotto. " Vegeta replied, then smirked, " And if they don't then I'll MAKE them give it to
you. "
" Aww, that is very sweet of you little Veggie! " the larger saiyajin grinned, " You know I was thinking of maybe
getting a nightie or some pajamas or somethin like that. "
" A NIGHTIE!? Kakarrotto WHO is going to see you at NIGHT! " Vegeta exclaimed.
" Chi-chan will. "
" ... "
" ... "
" Now that's STUPID! What's Onna going to care! " the ouji waved his arms in the air, aggrivated.
" But I love Chi-chan, little Veggie. " Goku pouted.
" Yes, you still do, don't you. " Vegeta felt the hairs on his tail stand on end and the tail itself trying to
unhinge itself from around Vegeta's waist, " Hn... " he rubbed his chin, then smirked and got an idea, " Well howabout you
and I have a sleepover sometime. That way Bulma and Mirai and Bura and Trunks and of course MYSELF can all see your soon-to-
-be chosen brand new sleepwear? "
" YAY! SLEEPOVERS WITH VEGGIE! " Goku chanted happily, then paused as Vegeta started to walk away, " Veggie where're
ya going? " he stuck his bottom lip out in a pouty way.
" To get my picture taken, Kakarrotto. I can't risk having you within 'shooting range' if you know what I mean. "
the ouji sighed.
Goku cocked his head, confused, " Huh? "
" Just in case one of those "rumor mill" photographers happen to show up I want you to stay over here so we don't end
up in any more, *ahem*, "pictures" together. "
" You got it little Veggie! " Goku saluted him as he watched the ouji wander off. He let out a small, saddened sigh,
" I hope my little buddy's alright over there. Every inch feels like a mile when Veggie leaves. " he folded his arms, then
felt a tap on his shoulder. The saiyajin looked over to his right to see a familiar girl in a reporter's hat and trenchcoat.
he grinned, " Oh! Hi! I remember you, you're the same person who snapped me-n-Veggie's picture through the hotel window
earlier. How ya doin! "
" Now 'Geta, I want you to try these jeans on for the first shot, oh-kay? " La Flu smiled, handing the pants to the
ouji.
" *A-HEM*! " he narrowed his eyes up at her.
" I'm sorry, VEgeta. " she said flatly, correcting herself.
" Better. " Vegeta nodded proudly, standing there in only his briefs and his 'fuzzy belt' wrapped around his waist,
" Jeans shouldn't be too hard. " he smirked, then paused, a blank expression on his face, " Waitaminute. This is the first
item of clothing I've gotten from you through this whole ordeal that actually covers a half-decent area of my body...what's
the catch? "
" No catch, just go over infront of the camera and let Veronica take your picture. " she pointed to a spot infront of
a blank white wall. Vegeta stood there and put the pants on.
" There. How's that? " Vegeta called out to the camera-woman.
" PERFECT! " she gave him a thumbs-up sign.
" Now take them back off again! " La Flu added.
" WAH!! " Vegeta sweatdropped and nearly fell over, " WHAT DO YOU MEAN TAKE THEM BACK OFF AGAIN!! " he yelled.
" Ugh! That's the point! To show off the underwear! Now take the pants back off again, but not completely off, just
enough for us to see the name-brand on your tushie. And give us one of those sassy 'bad-boy' smiles for the camera. "
Vegeta snarled at her, " BAD! I'LL SHOW YOU BAD-- "
" *SNAP*! "
" --YEOW! " he covered his eyes, which screamed with agony from the flashes of light. Vegeta stumbled backwards and
tripped over his now-fallen jeans and onto the ground.
" Oh my goodness! 'Geta are you oh-kay! " La Flu gasped, running over to him.
Vegeta's arm twitched in pain, " NO...MORE....PANTS... " he angrily gritted his teeth.
" No more pants. Got it. " La Flu wrote it down in a notebook, " What about shorts? "
" Do I have to...pull those down...too? "
" Umm, no. Not really. "
He raised his arm in the air, " I'll DO IT!! "
" And then Veggie told me he's gonna invite me to a sleepover at Capsule Corp and we're all gonna play games and sing
songs and it's gonna be FUN! " Goku grinned.
" Really? " the reporter said as she quickly wrote down something in the small pad she was holding, " What kind of
games? "
" Umm, you know, Veggie games. " the large saiyajin scratched his head.
" How close are you and Vegeta, Son Goku? " she asked.
" How close? " Goku blinked, " Well we are buddies. And he is my Ouji and fusion partner and we're both connected
through the portara earrings....hey did you know that if I tug on my left ear Veggie can feel the same tug on his right? "
" Soul mates...INTRESTING... " she scribbled.
The saiyajin's cheeks turned a hot pink, " Wha--WHAT!? I, I didn't say..uhh, what I-- " Goku's eyes widened when they
caught sight of the newspaper the girl was holding underneath her arm, " WAAAHHH!! " he shrieked, backing up, " YOU'RE A
REPORTER!! "
" Why yes I am. Small world. " she smirked, shaking his hand, " My name's Nekoni and I'm a writer for a well known
magazine, Saiyajin Secrets. Your a saiyajin, do you have any secrets you wish to share with the world? "
" Veh--Veggie told me not to talk to any reporters. " Goku said nervously, " He says he doesn't want any more bad
things being printed about him that aren't true. And I always listen to Veggie. "
" I'll give you a candy bar. " she grinned, holding up a piece of chocolate.
" CANDY! " Goku squealed, grabbing the food out of her hands and stuffing his face, " So? What do you wanna know? "
" Can I keep these? " Vegeta grinned at the swim-shorts he was wearing.
" You can keep anything you want, we'll just take it out of your salary. " La Flu sighed.
" GREAT! " the ouji said happily, " I don't swim much but these would be PERFECT for training in the gravity room. It
gets obsencely HOT in there after a while. " he tugged at the pant-leg.
" Uh-huh... " La Flu sweatdropped. She handed him a ouji-sized surfboard, " Now I want you to hold this over your
head as if you're getting ready to run down to the ocean and surf a BIG WAVE! "
" Works for me. " he smirked, then paused as he sized up the surfboard, " This seems a little shorter than the
"surf-boards" I've seen on TV... "
" That's because it is! " La Flu smiled, " You see, we had one specialized to your specific height. "
" You mean you made one 'easier' for me. " Vegeta narrowed his eyes.
" Well, yes. You see 'Geta you're really not that tal-- "
" --YOU GIVE ME THE SAME SIZE YOU'D GIVE ANYBODY ELSE!! HEAR ME!!! " the ouji threw a temper tantrum AND the
surf-board to the floor.
" You mean a standard size surf-board?! 'Geta I think a normal sized surf-board is a little too big for you to
handle-- " La Flu sputtered.
" --I CAN HANDLE KAKARROTTO AND HE'S ALMOST 2 FEET TALLER THAN I AM SO WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I CAN'T HANDLE A
"STANDARD" SIZED SURF-BOARD!!! " Vegeta screamed angrily.
" Well, alright. But you asked for it. " she shrugged, " HEY JOE! THROW ONE OF THE REGULAR SURF-BOARDS OVER HERE FOR
'GETA!! " La Flu called off-screen as a surfboard 3 times the size of the one Vegeta had been holding landed infront of them.
The ouji gawked at the object, " Holy beef that thing's HUGE! " he murmured.
" There you go champ. " La Flu said sarcastically as she walked back off the photo area Vegeta was standing before.
The wall was now decorated like a beach. The prince blinked at the; to him; gigantic surf-board. The small saiyajin picked up
the surfboard and held it uneasily over his head. The weight wasn't a problem, it was trying to get a grip on either side of
the wide board. Vegeta grumbled uncomfortably.
" Me and my big mouth. " he glared at the board, " This thing's even bigget than Kakarrotto! " Vegeta looked the
surf-board over, then smirked as an idea popped into his head. Vegeta turned so his side was facing the camera, then bent
over slightly and let the board drop onto his back, but held onto it to keep it from sliding onto the floor. He turned his
head to the camera and smirked at it, " Smile for the camera you big chunk of plastic. " the ouji snickered.
" *FLASH*! "
" So! Whadda ya think? " La Flu asked Vegeta, who looked down at the umpteenth costume he'd worn since they'd gotten
there.
The ouji rubbed the sleeve of the silk robe he was now wearing, " What color is this again? " Vegeta squinted his
eyes at it.
" Lilac. It's a cross between purple, red, and pink. " she responded.
" Why don't you just call it Puredink. It's easier to just smash the words together. " Vegeta said dryly, " That's
what Vejitto did. " he muttered.
" Puredink? " La Flu cocked an eyebrow, " Now that just sounds stupid. " she laughed.
" So does "Geta". "
" ... "
" ... "
" Don't sass me, I've got you under contract! "
" Yeah yeah. " Vegeta brushed her off. A little spot in the upper front pocket of the robe caught his eye, " G? " he
tapped La Flu on the shoulder, " Why does this say "G" on it? " he narrowed his eyes at the cursive letter.
" G, you know, for 'Geta. " she shrugged.
" No. You see, "G" is for that baka Earth name everyone calls Kakarrotto. " Vegeta folded his arms.
" Son Goku? "
" Yes, that's the one. " he flinched in slight disgust, " K is for Kakarrotto and V is for-- "
" ... "
" Go ahead, finish it for me. "
" Vegeta. " she said blandly.
" That's right! " Vegeta grinned, " You wouldn't happen to have one of these with a V on it, would you? "
" Just go sit on the bed so you can get your picture taken. " La Flu said, slightly annoyed as she pointed to the
make-shift bed on the set.
" No. "
" WHAT?! "
" I am not laying down until this robe says V instead of G. Besides, "Geta" is a female saiyajin name. I am a male.
That is one of the many reasons I detest you refering to me by it!! " Vegeta snorted.
" Saiya-what? " she blinked, confused. Vegeta froze.
" Uhhh, nevermind. " he nervously twiddled his fingers, " Umm, well, URG.. " he bit his lip, his prime defense now
thrown out the window because the ouji obviously couldn't let on that he was an space alien, " Kakarrotto will agree with me!
Yes! He will whole-heartedly agree with me that my name is not to be prounounced "Geta" and that you are to get me a new robe
for the photo with a V printed on it for my name...which is Vegeta...with a VE!! "
" Uh-huh. " La Flu sweatdropped.
" HEY! KAKARROTTO!!! " Vegeta called as he ran over to find Goku.
" ...but I think I've only buddy-smooched Veggie 2 or 3 times. " Goku said as he layed down on what looked like a
psychiatrist patient's chair. The reporter sat in the psychiatrist's chair.
" Well let's just say 3 for the record. " Nekoni scribbled it down.
" KAKARROTTO!!! " Goku cocked his head to the left slightly to see Vegeta standing there, panting tiredly.
" Oh! Hi Veggie! Just the lil ouji I was lookin for! " he grinned. Vegeta perked up, staring curiously, " Say Veggie,
Nekoni-san here wants to know if you'd let me smooch you for a photo she's taking. "
" Smoo--who--pho-- " Vegeta sputtered, confused. He looked up at the reporter, who waved cheerfully at him. Vegeta
sweatdropped, " Kakarrotto. What did I tell you about not talking to any reporters? " he said flatly.
Goku unwrapped another piece of candy and tossed it in his mouth, then dropped the wrapper into a huge pile of them
beside the psychiatrist patient's chair, " Not to? "
" That's right, Kakarrot. Good for you. " Vegeta said calmly, then screamed in his face, " THEN WHY ARE YOU DOING
EXACTLY WHAT I TOLD YOU NOT TO!!!! "
Goku pouted, " Umm, well, Veggie I,...she gave me candy! " he grinned, holding up a bag of M-n-M's, " Want some? We
got regular, peanut, or crisp-yyy. " he said in a sing-song voice.
Vegeta glared at the reporter, " OUT!! GET OUT!! GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I KILL YOU!!! " he roared, powering up. The
ouji yelped suddenly as Goku grabbed him and plunked him on his lap.
" Little Veggie say cheese! " Goku said sweetly. Vegeta smiled weakly, having an awkward feeling. Nekoni snapped the
picture and ran off.
" BYE GOKU-SAN!! "
" BYE-BYE REPORTER LADY!!! " Goku waved happily. He looked down at a very grumpy Vegeta, " Wow Veggie, you were so
wrong about reporters. She was very nice to me. Asked some funny questions, but still nice. "
" KAKA...RROTTO... " Vegeta gritted through his teeth; furious.
" Ooh, by the way nice robe. Makes it a pleasure to hug ya little Veggie. " Goku said, feeling the material.
" Really?... " Vegeta squeaked out, now glowing bright red.
" You know Veggie, as much as I could sit here hugging you the rest of the day you gotta go finish getting your
pictures taken. " Goku whispered to him, " Wouldn't want you to get off-schedule like that. "
" Off-schedule...right... "
" Veggie-- "
" Kakarrotto....I can't...feel my legs... " Vegeta mumbled, still glowing in shock and slightly embarassed.
" Oh! I can solve that for ya. " Goku said happily as he lifted the ouji up and carried him over to where the set
was. Goku plopped Vegeta onto the make-shift bed, saluted the light and camera crew, and walked back to his spot on the
psychiatrist patient's chair, " There we go! Pretty as a picture! "
" Ahh, it feels good to know I've caused that stupid Ouji so much humiliation. " Chi-Chi (thought I forgot about her
didn't you) said happily as she sat infront of the TV. Gohan came through the front door with a fairly large stack of
magazines in his hands.
" Uhh, Kaasan? "
" Yes Gohan-chan? " she said sweetly, " And how's my brilliant GENIUS of a child today? "
" Kaasan, about the whole media thing-- "
" --I'm AMAZING aren't I. Oh Gohan you should have seen me! I practically chewed that Ouji up and spit him back out
again infront of those reporters. HAHA! It was so much FUN! " she grinned.
" Yeah, well, apparently they thought so to. They had a field day! " he dropped the magazines next to Chi-Chi, who
glanced down at them and shrieked--it was the same tabloid magazine Goku had stepped on earlier.
" Secret Capsule Corp Supermodel Hubby Lusts after Mountain Mistress. " Gohan read dryly, peering over Chi-Chi's
shoulder. Her jaw was now hanging wide open.
" Ah.....ah.... " Chi-Chi desperately tried to produce any type of sound but was still in shock.
" And that's not all. " Gohan pulled out several other magazines, " "Killer Alien Marries Capsule Diva", "Alien
Vegetables Take Over Capsule Corp!", "Gorgeous Model in Love with Giggly Country Boy", oh, and here's one about you,
"Wrath of the Scorned Housewife". " he sarcastically held up a tabloid with an angry-looking Chi-Chi on the front cover. Her
eyes were now red along with two little horns a computer literate photographer had placed on her head, " Personally I don't
think this picture does you justice Kaasan. Hahaha! " Gohan laughed lightly, then yelped as Chi-Chi grabbed the magazine.
" THEY ALL THINK I'M CRAZY!!! " she gawked as she read though the article.
" Yeah well according to this one here Trunks is a pod person and Bulma is trying to keep Vegeta a secret from the
public because she's supposedly helping him aid an army of invading aliens to take over the world! " Gohan exclaimed, then
did a double take at another magazine, "Supermodel Vegeta Oujisama has Fusion Love Child with Peasant Slave". " he looked at
the utterly confused and startled picture of Vejitto beneath the headline, " How did they get a picture of Vejitto anyway?! I
thought he was playing security guard duty down in H.F.I.L!? "
" "Obsessed Alien Model Wishes To Abduct Man From The Mountains!" HA! He already has. " Chi-Chi threw the magazine to
the floor, " Oh Gohan!! Those evil people are trying to make it look like my sweet little Go-chan has the hots for that
EVIL MANIPULATING OUJI!! " Chi-Chi sobbed, " Not to mention that they're trying to make me look like the bad guy! "
" Girl. "
" WHATEVER!!! " Chi-Chi wailed, " Oh Go-CHAAAAHAAHAAAAN!! "
Gohan patted her on the shoulder, " I'm sorry Kaasan. I didn't mean to get you upset like that. It's just that I
thought, well, you should know--before someone else tells you, I mean. "
" That's oh-kay, Gohan. It's alright. " she sniffled, then gawked at a lone magazine on the floor below her. Chi-Chi
grabbed it and held it up.
" "France: A State of Affairs". " Gohan read outloud, then glanced down at the picture taken just hours ago of Vegeta
trying to keep Goku from pulling down his underpants, " State of aff--OH, now I get it. They're in a state, it looks like its
an affai--right...interesting twist of words. Completely untrue though. "
" HE'S TRYING TO PULL MY BABY'S UNDERWEAR OFF HIS BOTTOM!! " Chi-Chi gasped, then snarled, " I'LL KILL YOU OUJI!!! "
" Naw, if anything Vegeta's trying to keep them on. He's looking at the camera like he didn't know it was there. And
if anything it's Toussan who's trying to pull them off for some reason. " Gohan said logically.
" NO HE'S NOT! HE'S TRYING TO GET HIMSELF SOME SICK OUJI-FUN DOING AWFUL THINGS TO GO-CHAN WHILE I'M NOT THERE TO
STOP HIM!!! " Chi-Chi protested, " I'M THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO TOUCH HIS BUTT, DO YOU HEAR ME OUJI!!!! "
" Ohhh... " Gohan sweatdropped, " "Boxers or Briefs, that's what this reporter would like to know...". " he read the
opening sentence, " Boxers or--ahh, more word play. Toussan's wearing boxers. Vegeta's part of the Briefs family. Good with
words I can tell you that much. "
" OOH!! " Chi-Chi snarled, " WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS WHO TIPS THESE PEOPLE OFF ANYWAY!!!! "
" Heh-heh-heh. " Bura snickered from inside her room, sitting in a big detective's chair. She patted her phone, " I
just LOVE my new Ouji-tips Hotline. " she grinned.
" I really like that last snapshot of you Veggie. " Goku said cheerfully as he got into the limo and closed the door.
Vegeta was sitting beside him, still in a grumpy mood. La Flu was back upfront in the limo, " Lookit you! " he giggled,
holding the photo of Vegeta; still glowing bright red and with one shoulder of his robe slipping off the shoulder and staring
blankly into the camera; infront of the ouji, " You're so cute! "
" Errrr... " Vegeta growled, now back in his regular training outfit, " I swear those stupid outfits got skimpier as
the shoot went on! AND WHY'D YOU HAVE TO LET THEM SNAP THE PICTURE WITH ME LIKE THAT!! "
" Well like I said I think you looked especially cute-n-huggable in this one! " Goku hugged the copy of the photo,
" And who cares if you were still glowing. It came out great and so did the others. "
" You're just trying to cheer me up. " Vegeta said bluntly, glancing away from Goku, who just teleported across the
seat.
" Aww Veggie no I'm not! I really like how you take pictures! " Goku pouted.
" Do you? " Vegeta smirked sarcastically, " How would you like me to take a few SNAP shots at you, Kakarrotto? " he
made a fist and held it before the bigger saiyajin, who just giggled in reply.
" Veggie you wouldn't dare. " Goku laughed and sat back in his seat.
" What makes you think THAT? "
" Think? " Goku looked at him, confused. He smiled, " Aww little buddy, there is no think. I KNOW. "
" Hnn. " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow, then snorted and sat back also. He scratched his head, deep in thought,
" *A-hem*! " he got up and walked over to La Flu, then tapped her on the shoulder, " Can I ask you a question? "
" Sure, 'Geta. What do you want to know? " La Flu smiled.
" I don't know if it was just me, but for some odd reason the further we went into that photo shoot the more the
costumes seemed to show...I mean...they revealed more and more "flesh" as we went on. There a REASON for that? " he narrowed
his eyes, " You wouldn't happen to be PREPARING me for something, would you? "
She smirked, " You're very perceptive, 'Geta. I give you credit for that. " La Flu nodded, " If you must know I've
been working on a brand new style of underwear that's going to blow all my competitors out of the water and I want YOU to
model it for me at the exhibit this Saturday! "
" Underwear?! I did the stupid underwear thing the last time! What makes you think I couldn't do it again?! " Vegeta
exclaimed, slightly offended.
" Well, it's new. VERY new. And you seem alright with modeling the clothes in general but I still think you'd be a
little uneasy if we rush into this. But it's pure genius 'Geta I promise! " La Flu said, " And after you model them on
Saturday for me you and your large friend can go back to living your normal lives! "
" NORMAL lives? " Vegeta chuckled a bit, " Lady, I don't think my life was EVER "normal"... "

END OF PART 4!
Chuquita: (nervous laugh) Heh-heh-heh. (to Son) You know all throughout these Corners we've been talking about firsts?
Goku: Yeah?
Chuquita: Well I think we're going to be witnessing yet another. This story's gonna have to move into a 5th chapter.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) You're kidding.
Chuquita: Nope. I really wanted to wrap it up in four chapters but there's too much left just to smash it at the end here.
That and from what I've read that ff.net gets a little crazy if your chapter is more than 60KB. But I promise there will be
only ONE MORE chapter. And after that we're going to start story idea #2 and THE poll.
Goku: (cocks an eyebrow) "THE poll"???
Vegeta: (now wearing a number 1 t-shirt) [holding up a "vote Veggie" flag] (smirks) Heh-heh. Vote for me!
Chuquita: (to Son) Next fic we're going to have the "ultimate poll" on whether I should write story number 5 or not. The one
where Veggie finally wins--but wins in the future, and, well you're going to have to look for the summary at the End Corner
in Stupified if you don't know which plotline I'm talking about.
Vegeta: (to Chu) I notice you gave a cameo in this chapter.
Chuquita: Yeah, well, Nekoni gave me a cameo in her Minari story so I just repaid the favor. Miss Sheba also gave me a cameo
in her fic "Icky Piccy". I might give Miss Sheba a cameo in the next Piccy fic I write where Piccolo tries to take over the
world by song.
Goku: Song?
Chuquita: It's a long explanation. The third Piccy fic is still in the planning stages though.
[Veggy runs by the desk screaming in terror]
Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) Speaking of explanations.
Veggy: CHU! GOKU! HIDE ME!! [ducks down behind them]
Goku: What happened to you?
Veggy: (nervously peeks his head above the desk) I told him not to eat more than he could handle! "Put them in a bowl" I
said! "That way you'll be able to limit the amount of peeps you eat" I said! But did he listen? NO! He went back to his messy
habits and ate 100 POUNDS of them!!
Vegeta: Who?
Veggy: (squeaks out) Mirai!
Chuquita: (glances at the now un-manned camera) I was wondering what happened to him.
Mirai: [from off-screen] (roars) ANDROID!!!!
Veggy: (yelps) AHH! [hids behind Son]
Goku: (to Veggy) What are you doing back there?
Veggy: You're big! I'm using you as a blockade! Nothing personal.
Goku: (sweatdrops) BLOCKADE?!
Veggy: Yes, I, I want you to stop him, but I don't want you to hurt him. You see I'm not a big fan of violence.
Goku: WELL HOW CAN I STOP HIM WITHOUT--
Veggy: --REASON! Reason with him! Mirai will listen to you! You're his Sensei's father!
Goku: Ohhh, (bites his lip) well, I'll try.
Mirai: YOU'RE A GONER THIS TIME ANDROID!! YOU WAIT TILL I GET THROUGH WITH YOU YOU'LL BE NOTHING MORE THAN A PILE OF NUTS AND
BOLTS!!!
Chuquita: (to Veggy) He sounds unusually OOC-istically angry.
Mirai: AARG!!! [appears infront of them; now 300 pounds fatter]
All: (jaws drop to ground)
Goku: HOLY-- [Veggy slaps his hand over Son's mouth]
Vegeta: --MOTHER OF CLAM DIP! HE'S HUGE!!!
Chuquita: (frightened) Mirai what happened?!
Mirai: HIM! [points to Veggy] HE'S WHAT HAPPENED! "Here Mirai, have a peep. Here have another. " AND ANOTHER AND ANOTHER AND-
--AND--(wails) LOOK AT MEEEEEEE!!!!
[Chu, Son, and Veggie glare at Veggy; who laughs nervously]
Chuquita: Calm down Mirai, I've got a solution. [pulls out her Big Book of Author Spells] (grins) Ta-Da!
Mirai: (stares blankly)
Veggy: I'M SAVED!
Mirai: (glares at him)
Veggy: [hides back behind Son] (nervously) Heh-heh...
Chuquita: [flips through the pages] Hmm...A-HA! Here we go! Page 485. Entitled, "Weight Watchers". [zaps Mirai; who is now
seemingly back to normal]
Mirai: [looks himself over] WOO-HOO! (cheers) HA! Take that ANDROID! For that I shall SPARE YOU!
Vegeta: (sarcasm) Yes, spare us, PLEASE.
Mirai: (annoyed) Toussan! He made me FAT!!
Vegeta: You made yourself fat. Come on! You're a ouji too! Don't you have any resistance!
Chuquita: Look who's talking about resisting!
Vegeta: And what is THAT supposed to mean?
Goku: Heeheehee. Little Veggie cannot resist my charm.
Vegeta: (glows bright red) I CAN TOO!!
Mirai: (shakes Chu's hand) Well, thanks for helping me out anyway. [freezes as something hands out from under his shirt]
[nervously pulls it up to reveal a beer belly] AHHH!!! WHAT'S THIS!!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) You know there's really no REAL shortcut to losing weight.
Mirai: (growls at Veggy) OOOHHH!! (calm) Chu do you think you could zap me up a treadmill?
Chuquita: [gawking at his beer-belly] Umm, sure. [snaps her fingers] [treadmill appears behind Mirai's camera]
Mirai: Again, thank you. [to Veggy] And YOU!
Veggy: (gulps)
Mirai: I'll deal with you AFTER I lose this, THING. [pokes his belly, which jiggles] (disgustedly walks back over to the
treadmill and starts it up]
Goku: (happily) Well, I'd say that went well.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Kakarrotto...
Chuquita: See you in Part 5 (wow that sounds weird) everybody! Umm, I don't know what we're gonna do for the last chapter's
Corners. I was thinking either talk about episode 286 (which I finally downloaded after FOUR consecutive tries; YAY!) or
check the first 3 fics to see which reviewers have been with us from the start and make a little list of them. BTW if you
have but just weren't that fond of actually reviewing, e-mail or, well, review and tell us. Until then! Cya everybody! Part 5
should be out at the end of this week. (today is Sunday; at least where I am) I hope.
Vegeta: Later readers.
Goku: May your grapes always blossom on the vine of happiness!
Vegeta: Interesting nugget of wisdom, Kakarrotto.
Goku: (grins) Why thank you little Veggie!
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) Heh-heh. Heh...

Quote of the Week: -from dbz ep 170 "Son Goku Survived - All of the Z Warriors Resurrected!!"
{Mrs Briefs:} Welcome, this is Bulma's boyfriend? He's so handsome. Very trendy.
*Vegeta once again stares wide-eyed*
{Vegeta:} Trendy??
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: (to Veggie) You can pretty much guess the reason for this Quote of the Week.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Where do you FIND this stuff!
Chuquita: Eh, places. (shrugs; grinning)
Goku: (happily) I happen to agree with Mrs. Briefs. Veggie is indeed "very trendy".
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) Heh-heh-heh...you really think so Kakay?
Goku: Yup! (nods)
Vegeta: (proudly) Am I *a-hem*, handsome, also, Kakarrotto-chan?
Goku: Hmm... [rubs his chin thoughtfully] (smiles) Lil Veggie's more on the cute scale for me!
Vegeta: (demanding) HOW cute?
Goku: (taken aback) Well, uhh..you mean on a scale from 1 to 10?
Vegeta: Hai! (nods)
Goku: Gosh little Veggie, I can't exactly just place you a number. [scratches his head] HA! (grins) I know! Little Veggie is
cuter than a chocolate-covered marshmellow sitting in a whipped cream wonderland on a shelf in a pastry shop with a little
crown of sugar-sprinkles on top! (embarassed giggles) Heeheehee!
Vegeta: ...
Goku: Veggie?
Vegeta: ...
Goku: Veggie?
Vegeta: (glowing) (w/a big doofy grin) I don't know what you said....but the WAY you said it! WOW....
Goku: (spins his chair around to across the desk from Veggie) (cheerfully) So little buddy, how cute am I?
Chuquita: (snickers) Son! Don't ask him questions while he's off in La-La Land.
Goku: (pouts)
Chuquita: ...eh, alright. Go ahead, ask away.
Goku: (to the dazed ouji) Little Veggie am I cute?
Vegeta: (murmuring, still in a daze) Cute as an angel sent from the heavens to fulfill my every need and desire...
Goku: (eagerly) Even the secret ones?
Vegeta: (still dazed) ESPECIALLY the secret ones.
Goku: (loud-enough-for-ya?) WOO-HOO!!!!
Vegeta: Wha-huh? (looks around, confused) Wha happened?
Goku: (innocently) Nothin little Veggie.
Vegeta: ..oh.
Chuquita: You embarassed yourself while your brain was in Veggie-fantasy-Land again.
Vegeta: I WHAT!!! (freezes, then glares at the figure to his far left)
Goku: (giggles and waves at him)
Vegeta: (points at Chu) THIS IS ALL _YOUR_ FAULT!
Chuquita: WHAT?!
Vegeta: YOU ALLOWED KAKARROTTO TO ASK ME PERSONAL QUESTIONS WHILE MY MIND WAS ONLY HALF HERE!! THEREFORE ANYTHING I SAY OR
DO WHILE GLOWING SHALL BE RENDERED AN INVALID AND FALSE!
Goku: (sadly) Veggie thinks I'm ugly?
Vegeta: GAH!! (sweatdrops) NO! No you're not ugly at all, you're, uhh, you're beautiful.
Goku: AWWW, [sits back in his chair] Veggie thinks I'm bee-yoo-tee-full!
Vegeta: (nervous laughter) Uh, heh heh heh heh. Chu?
Chuquita: Hmm? OH! (to audiance) Seeing as we've nearly encompassed everything else that's changed in our stories over the
past 2 years, we've decided to dedicate Part 4's Corner to, well, the Corner; along with everything else that happens to be
at the beginning and end of each story such as the Quotes of the Week, etc. Back in the beginning the layout for this little
section was Start Time; author's e-mail; author's name (grins; points to herself) that's me!; Title of story, Summary, and
the Corner, which at first didn't even have a name. After each chapter of a story there'd be little questions of what's going
to happen next or more personal notes and stuff. The first Corner was in the second chapter of Veggienapped, but a far cry
from what's going on here now. [glances over at Son]
Goku: HEEE! [flashes a big happy grin at Veggie, who snorts and embarassingly turns his back to Son] Little Veggie is shy.
Vegeta: I AM NOT!!
Chuquita: (sweatdrop) We also had a brief stint doing disclaimers, (dbz doesn't belong to me, yadda yadda) but that quickly
dropped when I pretty much realized "hey, there's so many pieces of fanfiction out there there's no way Funi or Toei's going
to single out one person and sue them for writing stories based on their characters". That, and basically I forgot to do it
after so many stories. The first "Quote of the Week" appeared in place of the disclaimer. (Part 2 of Mamamia) [looks at
document] (sweatdrops) And guess who happened to be the first person to be the quoted in the Quote of the Week. [narrows her
eyes and glances to her right]
Vegeta: (with a big 'ol satisfied grin on his face) (innocently) Who? MEEEEEE?
Chuquita: I don't know how ya done it but I know ya done it. (sighs) The first quote of the week is by the dubbed Veggie.
"This is easier than coloring inside the lines!" from the Freezer season/saga.
Goku: (looks down at his coloring book) I agree with little Veggie. Coloring can be difficult at times.
Vegeta: (dryly) Thanks for the support Kakarrotto.
Goku: (sweetly) You're welcome Veggie!
Vegeta: (glows bright red) ...
Chuquita: I like to use the Corner as a little mini-break from writing the actual story. It gives me a chance to cool off and
sometimes our Corners have their own entirely different storylines. It also keeps me from attempting any self-insertions
which I think are kinda egotistic. But that's just me.
Goku: Corners also have a lot of plotholes in them.
Chuquita: (to Son) Like you for example.
Goku: Huh?
Chuquita: When I did the first Corner in Dum-Dums I had invited Veggie to "temporarily" co-host. By the time part 2 of that
fic came around Son-San had appeared out of nowhere along with the ouji.
Goku: (grins) And has been here ever since.
Chuquita: With the exception of the two Tenchi fics I wrote where Sasami was the co-co-host and the other where Ayeka was the
co-co-host. (to Son) You know that really IS a weird title. "Co-co-host".
Goku: What do you want me to call it? Co-host squared?
Chuquita: (flinches) Ech. Nah, that doesn't sound right. Let's just keep it at co-co-host.
Vegeta: (off in Veggie lala Land) Heh-heh, ka-ka-host.
Chuquita: You know I've seen doujinshi covers that write Kaka as Ca 2.
Goku: Ca two?
Chuquita: No, Ca squared. For some reason notepad doesn't let me use super-script. [shrugs] Don't know why. (to Son) I don't
like seeing your name written as Cacarrotto through. I prefer the manga spelling better. Same reason I don't like
spelling our little ouji's name as Vejita. Just don't like how it looks. Anyway, on with Part 4!
Goku: The final chapter of Veggie-wear!
Chuquita: What I THINK might be the final chapter of Veggie-wear.
Goku: (cheerfully) Well we'll find out now, won't we!
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!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Luh--Little Veggie...what are we looking at? " Goku said as they both stared at the magazine cover, his voice
trembling.
" Something that, that seems to have somehow escaped from the firey pits of the underworld, Kakarrot. " Vegeta
murmured, his voice also shaking.
" Close! " La Flu said cheerfully, swiping the magazine from them, " This, my friends, is a Tabloid. A magazine with
an advertisement-like paper that uses powerful, blatant, rumorous headlines in order to get people to buy it. Most tabloids
target people in the media, such as yourself, who have become wealthy and or incrediously famous! People love hearing about
hollywood scandels and let me tell you the tabloids are just as good at digging them up, or if necessary, fabricating their
own, thereby tarnishing the reputations of many a star. " she explained while flipping through the magazine.
" But, but if it's all made up...wha, the, PICTURE!!! " Goku exclaimed, pointing at the photo on the cover, blushing
with embarassment, " I KNOW I NEVER DID WHAT THAT ME IS DOING IN THAT PICTURE RIGHT NOW!!! " he shrieked, then glanced over
at Vegeta and shivered, sickened.
" WHAT! " Vegeta snapped at him, " DON'T LOOK AT ME! IF THAT HAD HAPPENED I WOULD HAVE REMEMBERED DOING IT!!! "
Goku shivered again.
" Calm down boys! " La Flu patted Goku on the shoulder, " With the technology today photographers can easily splatch
pictures together by using computers to turn what might be 3 or 4 different photographs look like one big fake image. It's
like those pictures of "ufo sightings" or "bigfoot". It's all fake. "
" Buh, buh, but some people are going to BELIEVE IT!!! " Vegeta yelled in horror, " WE HAVE TO DESTORY IT NOW!! "
" Ugh, 'Geta, there are MILLIONS of copies of this very newspaper all over the world! How do think they stay in
business! " La Flu shook her head. Vegeta's face turned a pale white. He fell to his knees in shock.
" I'll never be able to show my face to Kakarrotto and his bakayaro friends ever again! " Vegeta whimpered,
frightened.
Goku grabbed the magazine and looked over the picture carefully, " I, I suppose it IS possible..but, I would NEVER..
I just COULDN'T do that to...and what about Chi-chan!... "
" Face it Kakarrotto! It's FAKE! " Vegeta shouted, " La Flu is right. It was just some of those sick reporters out
to, to darken our names. "
" Then how did they know WHAT YOUR BEDROOM LOOKS LIKE!! "
" What? " the ouji cocked an eyebrow.
" YOU'RE BEDROOM! VEGGIE THAT'S YOUR BEDROOM IN THIS PICTURE!! YOU'RE _REAL_ BEDROOM! " Goku jumped up and down
nervously.
" Nonsense Kakarrotto, it only looks SIMILAR to my bedroom. " Vegeta brushed it off.
" SIMILAR?! Veggie that's Pookee sitting up there on the bookcase in the backround!! " he pointed to the small, brown
stuffed bear in the picture.
" ... " Vegeta's eyes widened, " Holy mother of cow that IS Pookee. And that IS my bookcase! Then that means-- "
" --that IS your room Veggie!!! " Goku finished the sentence.
" But when were they in my room! " Vegeta said angrily.
" And how did they know what my butt looks like!! " Goku gawked in shock.
" ...that's uh...that's what your...your, umm, your tush really looks like...eh, Kakarrotto? " Vegeta shifted
uneasily.
" I KNOW what my own butt looks like Veggie! " Goku said stubbornly, " And that picture just doesn't do it justice at
all. "
" Easy for you to say--nudist. " Vegeta muttered.
" Really, that's it in the photo! Look! " Goku reached for the bottom of his gi and bent over, ready to drop his
pants.
" WHY I NEVER!! " La Flu stared at him in disgust as the saiyajin let his pants fall, then reached for his boxers.
" AHH! KAKARROTTO STOP IT!!! " Vegeta grabbed Goku's drawers at the waist to stop the larger saiyajin from pushing
them down, " WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!!! "
" *SNAP!* "
The duo froze in place. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Tell me that wasn't a camera flash going off somewhere in the backround. " he said flatly, looking out the corner
of his eye.
" Veggie there!! " Goku pointed to the open window off to the side of the room. Vegeta pushed Goku away and ran over
to the window just intime to see a young woman in an overcoat sliding down a ladder with a camera around her neck and dashing
down the street.
" HEY YOU! COME BACK HERE SO I CAN RIP YOU APART!!! " Vegeta screamed in rage, " Darn you STUPID humans for having
such low ki! Sometimes I wish you were even twice as more powerful in general just so I could TELL WHERE THE HECK YOU ARE
WHEN YOU'RE SPYING ON ME!!! " he let his shoulders slump and groaned.
" Well there's another picture that's headed for the headlines tommorow. " La Flu said with sarcasm. Vegeta pouted.
" I can't even get anywhere NEAR Kakarrotto without some bakayaro popping their head in and snapping pictures
whenever what we're doing looks the SLIGHTEST bit suggestive!!!" Vegeta groaned, " IT'S NOT FAIR!! WHY MUST THEY DO THIS TO
ME AND MY PEASANT!!! "
" Honestly, 'Geta-- " La Flu began.
" AND YOU! " he snapped at her, " YOU'RE ANOTHER ONE!! EITHER GET MY NAME RIGHT OR DON'T REFER TO ME BY IT AT ALL! "
" I know what your "name" is, 'Geta. It's just that using a nickname is a good way to get noticed. Vegeta sounds like
a vegetable's name. "
" AND "GETA" SOUNDS LIKE A GIRLY NAME!! " the ouji yelled, " KAKARROT IS BETTER AT NICKNAMEING ME! HE'S MY PEASANT!
HE HAS THE RIGHT TO MAKE UP KAKA-NAMES FOR ME! YOU _DON'T_!!! "
" Hmm, I do see a striking resemblence. "
Vegeta and La Flu turned around to see Goku looking over his shoulder at him bottom and comparing it to the one on
the cover of the magazine; the saiyajin now buck-naked from the waist down.
" I don't know how they did it but WOW that is definately my behind in the picture. " Goku nodded proudly.
Vegeta whinced and instantly covered his eyes with his hands, chanting something incoherently over-and-over again.
" Ugh, " La Flu walked over to Goku, " Listen, Mr--Mr-- " she paused, suddenly realizing she had never asked the
saiyajin's name, " Mr... " she now said as if coaxing him to finish the sentence, " Kakarrotto? "
" Son Goku. " he responded.
She looked at him, surprised, " Son Go--but all this time 'Geta's been calling you... "
" Kakarrotto is his birth name. "Son Goku" is merely Kaka-chan's nickname given to him by his adoptive grandfather. "
Vegeta explained.
" Veggie know my birth name's last name? " Goku asked innocently. La Flu elbowed Goku and motioned him to cover his
privates with the magazine in his hands. Goku did so, letting the other two people in the room let out a sigh of relief.
" Hmm... " Vegeta thought back, " YOUR last name...well it's obviously the same as the rest of your family members...
and I DO remember Raditsu telling me the family's last name at one point... " he rubbed his chin, then stopped as if the
answer had just slapped him across the face. A big evil smirk engulfed it, " What an ironic twist of fate. " he muttered to
himself.
Goku leaned forth anxiously, " Well? "
" Koi. It's a word that translates into "love". " the ouji let out a little chuckle, " I remember how embarassed
your older brother was when he, Nappa, and I landed on a planet to destory it and we each announced our names. He completely
dropped his last name after we demolished the planet of giggly elf children. They teased him so badly that after he blew it
up he responded to anything you said to him with an enraged roar for the next 3 weeks. Nappa and I had a gas making fun of
him. " Vegeta recalled fondly.
" That's not very nice Veggie. " Goku pouted.
" Neither is what that woman who just took that snapshot is going to do with it. " Vegeta said shortly.
Goku frowned, " Sorry Veggie. " he said, then perked up, " You know, that's really not a bad name, Kakarrotto Koi.
It's got the same consonants at the beginning of each word. Like Chuckie Cheese. Or Porky Pig, or Donald Duck. "
" Baka! If you think half the pranks I've pulled on Raditsu are mean-spirited think what would happen if those "media
personel" knew your saiyajin last name...HA! They would praise the heavens that you merely exist for them to sink their
rumor-hungry jaws into! "
" 'Geta it's 6:30. We have to get going. " La Flu said, glancing down at her watch.
" Going?! I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH THOSE, "PEOPLE" OUT THERE! " Vegeta shouted.
" But we have an important date to get to. And after this you only have one more modeling job on your contract and
then I can let you go. " she looked pressed for time.
Vegeta smiled, " Really? One more after this, eh? " he grabbed a blanket off the bed and heaved it overtop of himself
and flattening his hair in the process. The ouji grinned beneath the pink sheet, then punched to holes with his fingers for
him to see out of, " HA! Alright, I'm ready! " he said proudly.
" ... " La Flu looked at him like just sprouted a third eye.
" What? They can take my picture all they want in this gettup. There's nothing juicy about a stranger covered in a
bed-sheet. "
La Flu smiled, " That's pure genius, 'Geta! "
" VEgeta. " he narrowed his eyes at her.
" Very well, let's get going. " she said cheerfully, leading him out of the room. Goku followed them, only to have
La Flu turn and glare at him, " And, Son Goku? "
" Yes? "
" Put your pants back on! " La Flu said, clearly annoyed.
Goku looked down, " Oh yeah! Be right back! " he ran off, then returned seconds later, fully clothed, " Better? " he
chirped.
" Better. Now follow me. " she made her way down the stairs.
Goku cheered, " YAY! "
" Heeheehee. "
Vegeta narrowed his eyes in frustration at the all-to-familiar little giggle beside him. He groaned, " I know I'll
regret even asking this....*sigh*, what is so funny Kakarrotto? " he glanced over at the larger saiyajin sitting beside him
in the limo. La Flu was sitting farther up near the front of the car and driver, leaving the two flustered saiyajins in the
back.
" You look just like one of those ghosts on the Pac-Man games. " Goku giggled, " You know, Inky, Blinky, Pinky and
Clyde? "
" "Clyde", Kakarrot? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow.
Goku just nodded happily.
" "Clyde". " he repeated dryly.
" Well, actually you look more like Pinky cuz Pinky was-- "
" --let me guess, pink? "
" YEAH! " Goku clasped his hands together, " Gosh I didn't know you played arcade games too little Veggie! We should
play TOGETHER sometime! "
The ouji started to glow bright red underneath his seat, setting it on fire. Goku yelped and backed away.
" VEGGIE! YOUR SHEET!!! "
" Huh wah wah? " the dazed ouji looked upward, then shrieked and lept onto the floor.
" REMEMBER VEGGIE! STOP DROP AND ROLL! STOP DROP AND ROLL! " Goku cried as Vegeta did so, quickly putting out the
fire. He snarled at Goku, took his now burnt sheet off his body and handed it to him. Goku smiled at the sheet and held it up
, then poked his head through the large burnt out hole and stuffed it downward. He eagerly tapped on Vegeta's shoulder, " Hey
Veggie, like my new skirt? "
Vegeta looked over at the grinning peasant, who was now wearing Vegeta's sheet as a skirt. He sweatdropped, " It's
lovely, Kakarrotto. " he sarcastically remarked.
" AWWWWWW you really think I'm loverly little Veggie? " Goku blushed lightly.
" ... " Vegeta paused for a moment at the reaction, then looked up at the roof of the car, " Whoever did this--thank
you. " he grinned, then smirked evilly at the other saiyajin, " Why yes Kakay, I happen to think it looks wonderful on you. "
he patted Goku on the shoulder and shooched closer to the large saiyajin, " Do you enjoy it when I compliment you Kaka-chan?"
" Mmm-hmm. " Goku nodded happily.
" And, just for curiousity's sake, why is that? " he rubbed his hands together menacingly.
" Well-- " Goku started, then yelped suddenly as a loud car horn beeped from Goku's side of the rode. Vegeta growled
at the horrible timing and climbed over his companion to open the window to the limo only to have several bright lights flash
in his face.
" AAHH!! " Vegeta covered his eyes as he wailed in pain. Goku sweatdropped as he watched the speeding car holding
several people with cameras fly off into the distance.
" Uh-oh Veggie I think they got you again. " Goku said in a sing-song voice.
" Rule number 1 of riding in a limo. Never open the windows for ANYBODY. " La Flu nodded wisely.
Vegeta groaned as he lay tumbled about over the bigger saiyajin, " Kakarrotto, PLEASE close the window. "
" You got it little Veggie! " Goku chirped, doing so.
" Ugh! " the ouji groaned in disgust, " I don't know how much more of this I can take. " Vegeta put his hand on his
forehead.
" Aww, poor sweet baby. " Goku rubbed his hand through the ouji's hair. Vegeta froze, realizing he was still draped
across the larger saiyajin. He quickly got up and zipped over to the other side of the limo, whistling a nervous little
tune.
" So? Where are we going? " Vegeta asked La Flu, desperately in need to change the subject.
" Photo shoot. " she responded.
Vegeta nearly choked, " Wha--WHAT?! "
" A photo shoot. You know, when we take pictures of you and put them in ads and such. " La Flu explained.
" Ads..ads as in MAGAZINES!! " he glared at Goku and swiped the magazine out of the saiyajin's hands.
" Hey! Veggie that was a very interesting fake story the newsperson wrote about us. " Goku pouted.
Vegeta hissed at him.
" No, not in THOSE magazines. REGULAR magazines, 'Geta. " she sighed.
" Well, I suppose I could do that...as long as we keep Kakarrotto as far away from the cameras as possible. He'll
need to wait in the car. "
" 'wait in the car'?? " Goku sniffled, looking deeply hurt.
Vegeta looked over at Goku, who's eyes were now filled to the brim with tears.
" But, but little Veh-GEEE... " he stared at Vegeta with wobbily big sparkily eyes.
" Ehhhh... " Vegeta reered back, his face glowing bright red, " Ca--calm down Kakay, it's not that I don't WANT you
to be there, I just want to keep you safe from any roaming tabloid photographers. I can't have you around anymore if they
think you're my---my-- "
" --VEGGIE HATES ME!!!! " Goku wailed at the top of his lungs, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Vegeta panicked, " NO! No I don't hate you Kakay really I don't!! " he shouted as the car came to a stop.
" YES YOU DO YOU HATE ME!!! " the bigger saiyajin sobbed wildly as he burst out of the car and onto a red carpet,
crying and rubbing his eyes.
" NO! Oh Kakay I don't hate you at all! " Vegeta begged, trying to coax Goku back into the car, " Kakay I luh-- "
Vegeta froze as every person and TV/radio/photographic camera turned his way. Vegeta got out of the car and pulled Goku down
to his height, then whispered the rest of the sentence in his ear. A large smile instantly covered Goku's face.
" ... " his eyes widened with excitement, " VEGGIE LOVES ME!!!! " Goku squealed at the top of his lungs. Vegeta's
face turning a hot red as Goku picked up the ouji and hugged him. He then set the dreamily dazed ouji back on his feet.
Vegeta let out a small giggle, then glared at the people around him.
" SCAM WILL YA!! "
The group quickly zipped away. Vegeta snorted.
" Those must have been the REGULAR news reporters. " Goku said in surprise.
Vegeta muttered, " No kidding. Now move along, I don't have all day! "
" Yes little Veggie. Whatever you say! " Goku said cheerfully as he pranced into the building.
" "whatever you say". I like that phrase. " Vegeta rubbed his chin, smirking, " I like it a lot. "Whatever you say,
V-sama; O-ruler of my very existance, conqueror of my sweet Kaka-soul"...heh-heh, yeah. Good phrase, Kakarrotto. VERY good. "
" Wow, look at all the people. " Vegeta muttered in surprise as they entered the building. He smiled, " All here for
ME. "
" OOH! OH VEGGIE LOOK AT ALL THE PRETTY COSTUMES!! " Goku squealed as he zipped around a large rack of outfits, " You
think they'd let me have one? "
" I'm sure they will Kakarrotto. " Vegeta replied, then smirked, " And if they don't then I'll MAKE them give it to
you. "
" Aww, that is very sweet of you little Veggie! " the larger saiyajin grinned, " You know I was thinking of maybe
getting a nightie or some pajamas or somethin like that. "
" A NIGHTIE!? Kakarrotto WHO is going to see you at NIGHT! " Vegeta exclaimed.
" Chi-chan will. "
" ... "
" ... "
" Now that's STUPID! What's Onna going to care! " the ouji waved his arms in the air, aggrivated.
" But I love Chi-chan, little Veggie. " Goku pouted.
" Yes, you still do, don't you. " Vegeta felt the hairs on his tail stand on end and the tail itself trying to
unhinge itself from around Vegeta's waist, " Hn... " he rubbed his chin, then smirked and got an idea, " Well howabout you
and I have a sleepover sometime. That way Bulma and Mirai and Bura and Trunks and of course MYSELF can all see your soon-to-
-be chosen brand new sleepwear? "
" YAY! SLEEPOVERS WITH VEGGIE! " Goku chanted happily, then paused as Vegeta started to walk away, " Veggie where're
ya going? " he stuck his bottom lip out in a pouty way.
" To get my picture taken, Kakarrotto. I can't risk having you within 'shooting range' if you know what I mean. "
the ouji sighed.
Goku cocked his head, confused, " Huh? "
" Just in case one of those "rumor mill" photographers happen to show up I want you to stay over here so we don't end
up in any more, *ahem*, "pictures" together. "
" You got it little Veggie! " Goku saluted him as he watched the ouji wander off. He let out a small, saddened sigh,
" I hope my little buddy's alright over there. Every inch feels like a mile when Veggie leaves. " he folded his arms, then
felt a tap on his shoulder. The saiyajin looked over to his right to see a familiar girl in a reporter's hat and trenchcoat.
he grinned, " Oh! Hi! I remember you, you're the same person who snapped me-n-Veggie's picture through the hotel window
earlier. How ya doin! "
" Now 'Geta, I want you to try these jeans on for the first shot, oh-kay? " La Flu smiled, handing the pants to the
ouji.
" *A-HEM*! " he narrowed his eyes up at her.
" I'm sorry, VEgeta. " she said flatly, correcting herself.
" Better. " Vegeta nodded proudly, standing there in only his briefs and his 'fuzzy belt' wrapped around his waist,
" Jeans shouldn't be too hard. " he smirked, then paused, a blank expression on his face, " Waitaminute. This is the first
item of clothing I've gotten from you through this whole ordeal that actually covers a half-decent area of my body...what's
the catch? "
" No catch, just go over infront of the camera and let Veronica take your picture. " she pointed to a spot infront of
a blank white wall. Vegeta stood there and put the pants on.
" There. How's that? " Vegeta called out to the camera-woman.
" PERFECT! " she gave him a thumbs-up sign.
" Now take them back off again! " La Flu added.
" WAH!! " Vegeta sweatdropped and nearly fell over, " WHAT DO YOU MEAN TAKE THEM BACK OFF AGAIN!! " he yelled.
" Ugh! That's the point! To show off the underwear! Now take the pants back off again, but not completely off, just
enough for us to see the name-brand on your tushie. And give us one of those sassy 'bad-boy' smiles for the camera. "
Vegeta snarled at her, " BAD! I'LL SHOW YOU BAD-- "
" *SNAP*! "
" --YEOW! " he covered his eyes, which screamed with agony from the flashes of light. Vegeta stumbled backwards and
tripped over his now-fallen jeans and onto the ground.
" Oh my goodness! 'Geta are you oh-kay! " La Flu gasped, running over to him.
Vegeta's arm twitched in pain, " NO...MORE....PANTS... " he angrily gritted his teeth.
" No more pants. Got it. " La Flu wrote it down in a notebook, " What about shorts? "
" Do I have to...pull those down...too? "
" Umm, no. Not really. "
He raised his arm in the air, " I'll DO IT!! "
" And then Veggie told me he's gonna invite me to a sleepover at Capsule Corp and we're all gonna play games and sing
songs and it's gonna be FUN! " Goku grinned.
" Really? " the reporter said as she quickly wrote down something in the small pad she was holding, " What kind of
games? "
" Umm, you know, Veggie games. " the large saiyajin scratched his head.
" How close are you and Vegeta, Son Goku? " she asked.
" How close? " Goku blinked, " Well we are buddies. And he is my Ouji and fusion partner and we're both connected
through the portara earrings....hey did you know that if I tug on my left ear Veggie can feel the same tug on his right? "
" Soul mates...INTRESTING... " she scribbled.
The saiyajin's cheeks turned a hot pink, " Wha--WHAT!? I, I didn't say..uhh, what I-- " Goku's eyes widened when they
caught sight of the newspaper the girl was holding underneath her arm, " WAAAHHH!! " he shrieked, backing up, " YOU'RE A
REPORTER!! "
" Why yes I am. Small world. " she smirked, shaking his hand, " My name's Nekoni and I'm a writer for a well known
magazine, Saiyajin Secrets. Your a saiyajin, do you have any secrets you wish to share with the world? "
" Veh--Veggie told me not to talk to any reporters. " Goku said nervously, " He says he doesn't want any more bad
things being printed about him that aren't true. And I always listen to Veggie. "
" I'll give you a candy bar. " she grinned, holding up a piece of chocolate.
" CANDY! " Goku squealed, grabbing the food out of her hands and stuffing his face, " So? What do you wanna know? "
" Can I keep these? " Vegeta grinned at the swim-shorts he was wearing.
" You can keep anything you want, we'll just take it out of your salary. " La Flu sighed.
" GREAT! " the ouji said happily, " I don't swim much but these would be PERFECT for training in the gravity room. It
gets obsencely HOT in there after a while. " he tugged at the pant-leg.
" Uh-huh... " La Flu sweatdropped. She handed him a ouji-sized surfboard, " Now I want you to hold this over your
head as if you're getting ready to run down to the ocean and surf a BIG WAVE! "
" Works for me. " he smirked, then paused as he sized up the surfboard, " This seems a little shorter than the
"surf-boards" I've seen on TV... "
" That's because it is! " La Flu smiled, " You see, we had one specialized to your specific height. "
" You mean you made one 'easier' for me. " Vegeta narrowed his eyes.
" Well, yes. You see 'Geta you're really not that tal-- "
" --YOU GIVE ME THE SAME SIZE YOU'D GIVE ANYBODY ELSE!! HEAR ME!!! " the ouji threw a temper tantrum AND the
surf-board to the floor.
" You mean a standard size surf-board?! 'Geta I think a normal sized surf-board is a little too big for you to
handle-- " La Flu sputtered.
" --I CAN HANDLE KAKARROTTO AND HE'S ALMOST 2 FEET TALLER THAN I AM SO WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I CAN'T HANDLE A
"STANDARD" SIZED SURF-BOARD!!! " Vegeta screamed angrily.
" Well, alright. But you asked for it. " she shrugged, " HEY JOE! THROW ONE OF THE REGULAR SURF-BOARDS OVER HERE FOR
'GETA!! " La Flu called off-screen as a surfboard 3 times the size of the one Vegeta had been holding landed infront of them.
The ouji gawked at the object, " Holy beef that thing's HUGE! " he murmured.
" There you go champ. " La Flu said sarcastically as she walked back off the photo area Vegeta was standing before.
The wall was now decorated like a beach. The prince blinked at the; to him; gigantic surf-board. The small saiyajin picked up
the surfboard and held it uneasily over his head. The weight wasn't a problem, it was trying to get a grip on either side of
the wide board. Vegeta grumbled uncomfortably.
" Me and my big mouth. " he glared at the board, " This thing's even bigget than Kakarrotto! " Vegeta looked the
surf-board over, then smirked as an idea popped into his head. Vegeta turned so his side was facing the camera, then bent
over slightly and let the board drop onto his back, but held onto it to keep it from sliding onto the floor. He turned his
head to the camera and smirked at it, " Smile for the camera you big chunk of plastic. " the ouji snickered.
" *FLASH*! "
" So! Whadda ya think? " La Flu asked Vegeta, who looked down at the umpteenth costume he'd worn since they'd gotten
there.
The ouji rubbed the sleeve of the silk robe he was now wearing, " What color is this again? " Vegeta squinted his
eyes at it.
" Lilac. It's a cross between purple, red, and pink. " she responded.
" Why don't you just call it Puredink. It's easier to just smash the words together. " Vegeta said dryly, " That's
what Vejitto did. " he muttered.
" Puredink? " La Flu cocked an eyebrow, " Now that just sounds stupid. " she laughed.
" So does "Geta". "
" ... "
" ... "
" Don't sass me, I've got you under contract! "
" Yeah yeah. " Vegeta brushed her off. A little spot in the upper front pocket of the robe caught his eye, " G? " he
tapped La Flu on the shoulder, " Why does this say "G" on it? " he narrowed his eyes at the cursive letter.
" G, you know, for 'Geta. " she shrugged.
" No. You see, "G" is for that baka Earth name everyone calls Kakarrotto. " Vegeta folded his arms.
" Son Goku? "
" Yes, that's the one. " he flinched in slight disgust, " K is for Kakarrotto and V is for-- "
" ... "
" Go ahead, finish it for me. "
" Vegeta. " she said blandly.
" That's right! " Vegeta grinned, " You wouldn't happen to have one of these with a V on it, would you? "
" Just go sit on the bed so you can get your picture taken. " La Flu said, slightly annoyed as she pointed to the
make-shift bed on the set.
" No. "
" WHAT?! "
" I am not laying down until this robe says V instead of G. Besides, "Geta" is a female saiyajin name. I am a male.
That is one of the many reasons I detest you refering to me by it!! " Vegeta snorted.
" Saiya-what? " she blinked, confused. Vegeta froze.
" Uhhh, nevermind. " he nervously twiddled his fingers, " Umm, well, URG.. " he bit his lip, his prime defense now
thrown out the window because the ouji obviously couldn't let on that he was an space alien, " Kakarrotto will agree with me!
Yes! He will whole-heartedly agree with me that my name is not to be prounounced "Geta" and that you are to get me a new robe
for the photo with a V printed on it for my name...which is Vegeta...with a VE!! "
" Uh-huh. " La Flu sweatdropped.
" HEY! KAKARROTTO!!! " Vegeta called as he ran over to find Goku.
" ...but I think I've only buddy-smooched Veggie 2 or 3 times. " Goku said as he layed down on what looked like a
psychiatrist patient's chair. The reporter sat in the psychiatrist's chair.
" Well let's just say 3 for the record. " Nekoni scribbled it down.
" KAKARROTTO!!! " Goku cocked his head to the left slightly to see Vegeta standing there, panting tiredly.
" Oh! Hi Veggie! Just the lil ouji I was lookin for! " he grinned. Vegeta perked up, staring curiously, " Say Veggie,
Nekoni-san here wants to know if you'd let me smooch you for a photo she's taking. "
" Smoo--who--pho-- " Vegeta sputtered, confused. He looked up at the reporter, who waved cheerfully at him. Vegeta
sweatdropped, " Kakarrotto. What did I tell you about not talking to any reporters? " he said flatly.
Goku unwrapped another piece of candy and tossed it in his mouth, then dropped the wrapper into a huge pile of them
beside the psychiatrist patient's chair, " Not to? "
" That's right, Kakarrot. Good for you. " Vegeta said calmly, then screamed in his face, " THEN WHY ARE YOU DOING
EXACTLY WHAT I TOLD YOU NOT TO!!!! "
Goku pouted, " Umm, well, Veggie I,...she gave me candy! " he grinned, holding up a bag of M-n-M's, " Want some? We
got regular, peanut, or crisp-yyy. " he said in a sing-song voice.
Vegeta glared at the reporter, " OUT!! GET OUT!! GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I KILL YOU!!! " he roared, powering up. The
ouji yelped suddenly as Goku grabbed him and plunked him on his lap.
" Little Veggie say cheese! " Goku said sweetly. Vegeta smiled weakly, having an awkward feeling. Nekoni snapped the
picture and ran off.
" BYE GOKU-SAN!! "
" BYE-BYE REPORTER LADY!!! " Goku waved happily. He looked down at a very grumpy Vegeta, " Wow Veggie, you were so
wrong about reporters. She was very nice to me. Asked some funny questions, but still nice. "
" KAKA...RROTTO... " Vegeta gritted through his teeth; furious.
" Ooh, by the way nice robe. Makes it a pleasure to hug ya little Veggie. " Goku said, feeling the material.
" Really?... " Vegeta squeaked out, now glowing bright red.
" You know Veggie, as much as I could sit here hugging you the rest of the day you gotta go finish getting your
pictures taken. " Goku whispered to him, " Wouldn't want you to get off-schedule like that. "
" Off-schedule...right... "
" Veggie-- "
" Kakarrotto....I can't...feel my legs... " Vegeta mumbled, still glowing in shock and slightly embarassed.
" Oh! I can solve that for ya. " Goku said happily as he lifted the ouji up and carried him over to where the set
was. Goku plopped Vegeta onto the make-shift bed, saluted the light and camera crew, and walked back to his spot on the
psychiatrist patient's chair, " There we go! Pretty as a picture! "
" Ahh, it feels good to know I've caused that stupid Ouji so much humiliation. " Chi-Chi (thought I forgot about her
didn't you) said happily as she sat infront of the TV. Gohan came through the front door with a fairly large stack of
magazines in his hands.
" Uhh, Kaasan? "
" Yes Gohan-chan? " she said sweetly, " And how's my brilliant GENIUS of a child today? "
" Kaasan, about the whole media thing-- "
" --I'm AMAZING aren't I. Oh Gohan you should have seen me! I practically chewed that Ouji up and spit him back out
again infront of those reporters. HAHA! It was so much FUN! " she grinned.
" Yeah, well, apparently they thought so to. They had a field day! " he dropped the magazines next to Chi-Chi, who
glanced down at them and shrieked--it was the same tabloid magazine Goku had stepped on earlier.
" Secret Capsule Corp Supermodel Hubby Lusts after Mountain Mistress. " Gohan read dryly, peering over Chi-Chi's
shoulder. Her jaw was now hanging wide open.
" Ah.....ah.... " Chi-Chi desperately tried to produce any type of sound but was still in shock.
" And that's not all. " Gohan pulled out several other magazines, " "Killer Alien Marries Capsule Diva", "Alien
Vegetables Take Over Capsule Corp!", "Gorgeous Model in Love with Giggly Country Boy", oh, and here's one about you,
"Wrath of the Scorned Housewife". " he sarcastically held up a tabloid with an angry-looking Chi-Chi on the front cover. Her
eyes were now red along with two little horns a computer literate photographer had placed on her head, " Personally I don't
think this picture does you justice Kaasan. Hahaha! " Gohan laughed lightly, then yelped as Chi-Chi grabbed the magazine.
" THEY ALL THINK I'M CRAZY!!! " she gawked as she read though the article.
" Yeah well according to this one here Trunks is a pod person and Bulma is trying to keep Vegeta a secret from the
public because she's supposedly helping him aid an army of invading aliens to take over the world! " Gohan exclaimed, then
did a double take at another magazine, "Supermodel Vegeta Oujisama has Fusion Love Child with Peasant Slave". " he looked at
the utterly confused and startled picture of Vejitto beneath the headline, " How did they get a picture of Vejitto anyway?! I
thought he was playing security guard duty down in H.F.I.L!? "
" "Obsessed Alien Model Wishes To Abduct Man From The Mountains!" HA! He already has. " Chi-Chi threw the magazine to
the floor, " Oh Gohan!! Those evil people are trying to make it look like my sweet little Go-chan has the hots for that
EVIL MANIPULATING OUJI!! " Chi-Chi sobbed, " Not to mention that they're trying to make me look like the bad guy! "
" Girl. "
" WHATEVER!!! " Chi-Chi wailed, " Oh Go-CHAAAAHAAHAAAAN!! "
Gohan patted her on the shoulder, " I'm sorry Kaasan. I didn't mean to get you upset like that. It's just that I
thought, well, you should know--before someone else tells you, I mean. "
" That's oh-kay, Gohan. It's alright. " she sniffled, then gawked at a lone magazine on the floor below her. Chi-Chi
grabbed it and held it up.
" "France: A State of Affairs". " Gohan read outloud, then glanced down at the picture taken just hours ago of Vegeta
trying to keep Goku from pulling down his underpants, " State of aff--OH, now I get it. They're in a state, it looks like its
an affai--right...interesting twist of words. Completely untrue though. "
" HE'S TRYING TO PULL MY BABY'S UNDERWEAR OFF HIS BOTTOM!! " Chi-Chi gasped, then snarled, " I'LL KILL YOU OUJI!!! "
" Naw, if anything Vegeta's trying to keep them on. He's looking at the camera like he didn't know it was there. And
if anything it's Toussan who's trying to pull them off for some reason. " Gohan said logically.
" NO HE'S NOT! HE'S TRYING TO GET HIMSELF SOME SICK OUJI-FUN DOING AWFUL THINGS TO GO-CHAN WHILE I'M NOT THERE TO
STOP HIM!!! " Chi-Chi protested, " I'M THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO TOUCH HIS BUTT, DO YOU HEAR ME OUJI!!!! "
" Ohhh... " Gohan sweatdropped, " "Boxers or Briefs, that's what this reporter would like to know...". " he read the
opening sentence, " Boxers or--ahh, more word play. Toussan's wearing boxers. Vegeta's part of the Briefs family. Good with
words I can tell you that much. "
" OOH!! " Chi-Chi snarled, " WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS WHO TIPS THESE PEOPLE OFF ANYWAY!!!! "
" Heh-heh-heh. " Bura snickered from inside her room, sitting in a big detective's chair. She patted her phone, " I
just LOVE my new Ouji-tips Hotline. " she grinned.
" I really like that last snapshot of you Veggie. " Goku said cheerfully as he got into the limo and closed the door.
Vegeta was sitting beside him, still in a grumpy mood. La Flu was back upfront in the limo, " Lookit you! " he giggled,
holding the photo of Vegeta; still glowing bright red and with one shoulder of his robe slipping off the shoulder and staring
blankly into the camera; infront of the ouji, " You're so cute! "
" Errrr... " Vegeta growled, now back in his regular training outfit, " I swear those stupid outfits got skimpier as
the shoot went on! AND WHY'D YOU HAVE TO LET THEM SNAP THE PICTURE WITH ME LIKE THAT!! "
" Well like I said I think you looked especially cute-n-huggable in this one! " Goku hugged the copy of the photo,
" And who cares if you were still glowing. It came out great and so did the others. "
" You're just trying to cheer me up. " Vegeta said bluntly, glancing away from Goku, who just teleported across the
seat.
" Aww Veggie no I'm not! I really like how you take pictures! " Goku pouted.
" Do you? " Vegeta smirked sarcastically, " How would you like me to take a few SNAP shots at you, Kakarrotto? " he
made a fist and held it before the bigger saiyajin, who just giggled in reply.
" Veggie you wouldn't dare. " Goku laughed and sat back in his seat.
" What makes you think THAT? "
" Think? " Goku looked at him, confused. He smiled, " Aww little buddy, there is no think. I KNOW. "
" Hnn. " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow, then snorted and sat back also. He scratched his head, deep in thought,
" *A-hem*! " he got up and walked over to La Flu, then tapped her on the shoulder, " Can I ask you a question? "
" Sure, 'Geta. What do you want to know? " La Flu smiled.
" I don't know if it was just me, but for some odd reason the further we went into that photo shoot the more the
costumes seemed to show...I mean...they revealed more and more "flesh" as we went on. There a REASON for that? " he narrowed
his eyes, " You wouldn't happen to be PREPARING me for something, would you? "
She smirked, " You're very perceptive, 'Geta. I give you credit for that. " La Flu nodded, " If you must know I've
been working on a brand new style of underwear that's going to blow all my competitors out of the water and I want YOU to
model it for me at the exhibit this Saturday! "
" Underwear?! I did the stupid underwear thing the last time! What makes you think I couldn't do it again?! " Vegeta
exclaimed, slightly offended.
" Well, it's new. VERY new. And you seem alright with modeling the clothes in general but I still think you'd be a
little uneasy if we rush into this. But it's pure genius 'Geta I promise! " La Flu said, " And after you model them on
Saturday for me you and your large friend can go back to living your normal lives! "
" NORMAL lives? " Vegeta chuckled a bit, " Lady, I don't think my life was EVER "normal"... "

END OF PART 4!
Chuquita: (nervous laugh) Heh-heh-heh. (to Son) You know all throughout these Corners we've been talking about firsts?
Goku: Yeah?
Chuquita: Well I think we're going to be witnessing yet another. This story's gonna have to move into a 5th chapter.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) You're kidding.
Chuquita: Nope. I really wanted to wrap it up in four chapters but there's too much left just to smash it at the end here.
That and from what I've read that ff.net gets a little crazy if your chapter is more than 60KB. But I promise there will be
only ONE MORE chapter. And after that we're going to start story idea #2 and THE poll.
Goku: (cocks an eyebrow) "THE poll"???
Vegeta: (now wearing a number 1 t-shirt) [holding up a "vote Veggie" flag] (smirks) Heh-heh. Vote for me!
Chuquita: (to Son) Next fic we're going to have the "ultimate poll" on whether I should write story number 5 or not. The one
where Veggie finally wins--but wins in the future, and, well you're going to have to look for the summary at the End Corner
in Stupified if you don't know which plotline I'm talking about.
Vegeta: (to Chu) I notice you gave a cameo in this chapter.
Chuquita: Yeah, well, Nekoni gave me a cameo in her Minari story so I just repaid the favor. Miss Sheba also gave me a cameo
in her fic "Icky Piccy". I might give Miss Sheba a cameo in the next Piccy fic I write where Piccolo tries to take over the
world by song.
Goku: Song?
Chuquita: It's a long explanation. The third Piccy fic is still in the planning stages though.
[Veggy runs by the desk screaming in terror]
Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) Speaking of explanations.
Veggy: CHU! GOKU! HIDE ME!! [ducks down behind them]
Goku: What happened to you?
Veggy: (nervously peeks his head above the desk) I told him not to eat more than he could handle! "Put them in a bowl" I
said! "That way you'll be able to limit the amount of peeps you eat" I said! But did he listen? NO! He went back to his messy
habits and ate 100 POUNDS of them!!
Vegeta: Who?
Veggy: (squeaks out) Mirai!
Chuquita: (glances at the now un-manned camera) I was wondering what happened to him.
Mirai: [from off-screen] (roars) ANDROID!!!!
Veggy: (yelps) AHH! [hids behind Son]
Goku: (to Veggy) What are you doing back there?
Veggy: You're big! I'm using you as a blockade! Nothing personal.
Goku: (sweatdrops) BLOCKADE?!
Veggy: Yes, I, I want you to stop him, but I don't want you to hurt him. You see I'm not a big fan of violence.
Goku: WELL HOW CAN I STOP HIM WITHOUT--
Veggy: --REASON! Reason with him! Mirai will listen to you! You're his Sensei's father!
Goku: Ohhh, (bites his lip) well, I'll try.
Mirai: YOU'RE A GONER THIS TIME ANDROID!! YOU WAIT TILL I GET THROUGH WITH YOU YOU'LL BE NOTHING MORE THAN A PILE OF NUTS AND
BOLTS!!!
Chuquita: (to Veggy) He sounds unusually OOC-istically angry.
Mirai: AARG!!! [appears infront of them; now 300 pounds fatter]
All: (jaws drop to ground)
Goku: HOLY-- [Veggy slaps his hand over Son's mouth]
Vegeta: --MOTHER OF CLAM DIP! HE'S HUGE!!!
Chuquita: (frightened) Mirai what happened?!
Mirai: HIM! [points to Veggy] HE'S WHAT HAPPENED! "Here Mirai, have a peep. Here have another. " AND ANOTHER AND ANOTHER AND-
--AND--(wails) LOOK AT MEEEEEEE!!!!
[Chu, Son, and Veggie glare at Veggy; who laughs nervously]
Chuquita: Calm down Mirai, I've got a solution. [pulls out her Big Book of Author Spells] (grins) Ta-Da!
Mirai: (stares blankly)
Veggy: I'M SAVED!
Mirai: (glares at him)
Veggy: [hides back behind Son] (nervously) Heh-heh...
Chuquita: [flips through the pages] Hmm...A-HA! Here we go! Page 485. Entitled, "Weight Watchers". [zaps Mirai; who is now
seemingly back to normal]
Mirai: [looks himself over] WOO-HOO! (cheers) HA! Take that ANDROID! For that I shall SPARE YOU!
Vegeta: (sarcasm) Yes, spare us, PLEASE.
Mirai: (annoyed) Toussan! He made me FAT!!
Vegeta: You made yourself fat. Come on! You're a ouji too! Don't you have any resistance!
Chuquita: Look who's talking about resisting!
Vegeta: And what is THAT supposed to mean?
Goku: Heeheehee. Little Veggie cannot resist my charm.
Vegeta: (glows bright red) I CAN TOO!!
Mirai: (shakes Chu's hand) Well, thanks for helping me out anyway. [freezes as something hands out from under his shirt]
[nervously pulls it up to reveal a beer belly] AHHH!!! WHAT'S THIS!!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) You know there's really no REAL shortcut to losing weight.
Mirai: (growls at Veggy) OOOHHH!! (calm) Chu do you think you could zap me up a treadmill?
Chuquita: [gawking at his beer-belly] Umm, sure. [snaps her fingers] [treadmill appears behind Mirai's camera]
Mirai: Again, thank you. [to Veggy] And YOU!
Veggy: (gulps)
Mirai: I'll deal with you AFTER I lose this, THING. [pokes his belly, which jiggles] (disgustedly walks back over to the
treadmill and starts it up]
Goku: (happily) Well, I'd say that went well.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Kakarrotto...
Chuquita: See you in Part 5 (wow that sounds weird) everybody! Umm, I don't know what we're gonna do for the last chapter's
Corners. I was thinking either talk about episode 286 (which I finally downloaded after FOUR consecutive tries; YAY!) or
check the first 3 fics to see which reviewers have been with us from the start and make a little list of them. BTW if you
have but just weren't that fond of actually reviewing, e-mail or, well, review and tell us. Until then! Cya everybody! Part 5
should be out at the end of this week. (today is Sunday; at least where I am) I hope.
Vegeta: Later readers.
Goku: May your grapes always blossom on the vine of happiness!
Vegeta: Interesting nugget of wisdom, Kakarrotto.
Goku: (grins) Why thank you little Veggie!
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) Heh-heh. Heh...
