Quote of the Week: -from DuBZ
"I like soap op-per-as." -Recoome
Chuey's Corner:
[the entire Corner desk along with the camera and lighting crew is covered by a fairly large protective steel-plated shield]
Chuquita: (happily) Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another edition of the Corner; the little mini-notes-story
thingy we have before and after chapters of the actual fic! I'm Chuquita!
Goku: (grins) And I'm Son Goku. [taps on the wall] Hey Chu, what's this thing here for anyway?
Chuquita: Why that's a "fairly large protective steel-plated shield" to keep us safe during the polls and to keep anyone from
breaking in here and threatening to have the poll swayed in either direction. Now some people would like to ask, "Chu, what
poll are you talking about?"
Vegeta: (grinning widely wearing a "Vote for Me" t-shirt and waving an "I'm #1" flag in the air) Yes Chu, what poll ARE you
talking about.
Chuquita: (glances over at Veggie and sweatdrops) Hoo-boy...
Vegeta: I've brought the children with me too, by the way.
[Both Chu & Son sweatdrop to see Vejitto and Gogeta standing next to where Veggie is sitting. Vejitto is waving happily and
Gogeta is shaking his head, mortified. Both are wearing "Vote Veggie" t-shirts]
Chuquita: (groans) Oh good gravy why did I even think I could do this poll AND let you know about it?
Vegeta: (to Ji and Goggie) CHILDREN! Tell your father how much you miss him. [points to Goku, who stares at the group
blankly]
Vejitto: (happily) I miss you Daddy!!
Gogeta: (grumbles) I don't even know why I'm here! I'm technically not even your son!! [points to Vejitto] HE'S THE SEPERATE
ENTITY! NOT ME! I'm just you and "daddy" there SHARING THE SAME BODY!!!
Vegeta: [bops Gogeta over the head] SHUT UP! DON'T SASS YOUR KAASAN YOU UNGRATEFUL FUSION-BABY!!
Gogeta: I only have 28 minutes to live, you THINK I'M HAPPY! (to Vejitto) He stole Mirai Trunks's time machine and dragged me
over here for "something important". I WAS BUSY FIGHTING JANEMBA FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD!!
Vejitto: Yeah, that's what the last 14 of you said.
Gogeta: (sweatdrops)
Chuquita: If you haven't figured it out by now or are still trying to, today's poll is summed up in one question,
"Should Veggie Win?". In every single past story I've written, no matter how hard Veggie tries to steal Son-kun away from
Chi-Chi in order to make him a "servant-maid to the throne" he always loses. That is a natural law of fanfiction, infact,
Toriyama himself goes out of his way so that even when Veggie becomes the strongest of the group he only retains that
position for a short while. Having Veggie win would probably be the same as me being able to defy the laws of gravity, or
for Son-kun to be able to, umm, do something that the sheer laws of nature would prevent him from doing!
Goku: Like eating through my nose?
Chuquita: ...uhh, yeah, sure. (weak smile) Here's the present summary for the may, may never exist story #5.
Vegeta: (evil grin) It's existance will depend upon you, o' fans of my glorious, royal saiyajin being.
Chuquita: Here's the summary!
Summary: Chi-Chi and Veggie make a bet on Goku's loyalty. The ouji says that by the time another century has past and Chi-Chi
has already gotten old and been buried he would have Son-San wrapped around his little finger, seeing as they saiyajins with
their longer life-spans and slow aging process will probably live way after the rest of the Z senshi pass on. Chi-Chi mocks
him and tells Veggie that her Go-chan loves her too much to give in to his ouji-obsessiveness. Goku is unsure if either of
them is right and a slightly worried Chi-Chi decides to take Mirai's time machine for a spin and find out. What awaits her
in the future is a fate worse than anything she possibly could have imagined for Goku. What is this fate? Will she be able
to change the future or her present to stop these events from occuring? Heck, if Mirai Trunks can do it so can Chi-Chi...
...right?
Chuquita: Several people have already asked me and NO it will NOT be a yaoi.
Vegeta: (now hanging up a banner on the back-inner-wall of the shield that reads "Help Me Enslave Kakarrotto: Vote Veggie!")
(to Chu) Heeee...
Goku: Oh-kay...now I'm getting a little creeped out.
Vejitto: (pouty) I'm not creepy, am I Daddy?
Goku: (nervous laugh) Heh-heh, of course you aren't Ji-chan.
Chuquita: (dryly) Maybe I should find a way to get Chi-Chi, Gohan, and Goten in here just to even things out.
Goku: (puppy-eyed face) I'd feel better if you could.
Chuquita: To tell the truth, Son, I agree with you. (to audiance) Here's how to vote! You can either reply in your review
on whether or not you think I should let Veggie win, e-mail me your choice, or go to
http://www.geocities.com/son_nekoni/shrine-chuey.html where Nekoni's set up a little polling booth and place your votes
there. She also has some links on that page to a couple doodles I did for the poll if you wanna see what my artwork looks
like. She's got a doodle she drew herself of Son-kun hugging Veggie in the upper left-hand corner so if you see that picture
you're probably in the right place.
Vejitto: [holding up a sign that reads; "Fusion-babies don't lie; Vote Veggie".]
Vegeta: [holding up a sign that reads: "Peasants belong to their Prince; Vote Veggie!".]
Gogeta: [holding up a sign that reads; "Somebody save me; I'm starving and I have to go to the bathroom".]
[Veggie and Vejitto sweatdrop at Goggie's sign]
Vejitto: (to Son) Don't let him fool you, he may act like Mommy on the outside, but he acts almost identical to you while in
battle. (nods happily)
Goku: (nervous laughter) Uh, heh-heh-heh, Chu? Can we start the show now?
Chuquita: Umm, sure thing Son-san.
Summary: After Bulma suggests the prince take a vacation, Veggie decides to do just that--and purchases a huge
oceanliner. While saying his two-week temporary goodbyes, a devastated Son Goku sneaks onto the ship, fearing for what could
possibly happen to his little buddy if left alone without protection. When Chi-Chi finds out she decides to take action and
with the help of Gohan and Piccolo, track down the oceanliner to "save" Son. How will they find one person on this 'little
chunk of Bejito-sei'? Does he WANT to be found? Does Veggie even know Goku is there? Find out!
Chuquita: You know I've always wanted to go on a cruise.
Goku: (musing) The water, the fish, the salty sea air--
Vegeta: --the seagull doody that hits you on the head the moment you drop your guard.
Goku: ... (perks up) SILLY VEGGIE!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" IT'S HOPELESS! *SOB*! "
Bulma paused as she walked by a familiar bedroom door labeled "Vegeta Oujisama's Headquarters--KEEP OUT". She knocked
on the door, then peered inside, " Umm, Vegeta? "
" I've tried EVERYTHING I could think of! All my plots--my diabolical schemes--WORTHLESS! " Vegeta wailed as he sat
amidst an endless sea of blue-prints. A life-sized Goku plush toy was sitting on the floor a few feet away from him, leaning
against the side of the bed. He lunged at the plush and hugged it, " I'll NEVER be able to own you--NEVER!! "
" Uhh, Vegeta? "
The ouji froze, realizing there was someone in the doorway, " Umm, hi Bulma. " he grinned cheesily, his eyes
bloodshot and his face slightly pale.
" Yes, hi. " she walked into the room, " Where did you get all these papers? " Bulma went to go pick one up, only
to hear a sudden yelp as Vegeta flew like a landslide down to that end of the room and grabbed the paper before she could get
to it.
" Heh-heh-heh. " he laughed nervously up at her.
" ... " Bulma blinked, then sweatdropped as it hit her, " You're plotting again, aren't you. " she said flatly.
" NO! What would make you think that? " Vegeta said innocently, getting up.
" You mean besides the look of work-fatigue on your face, the zillions of blue-prints on the floor, and the...giant
plush toy of Son-kun you have over there--WHERE DID YOU GET A LIFE-SIZED PLUSH TOY OF SON-KUN!! " Bulma groaned.
" Kaka-chan? Umm, I've, I've always had him. " Vegeta said, avoiding eye-contact, " Remember, he used to, umm, sit
ontop of the bookcase with, err, Pookee. " he pointed to his teddy-bear, who was infact sitting on the aforementioned object.
Bulma cocked an eyebrow at "Kaka-chan", who had a tiny smile on his face and two black vertical oval-shaped beads for
eyes, " You sent him through my enlarging ray, didn't you Vegeta? "
" Now why would _I_ do such a thing without asking your permission! " Vegeta fake-gasped.
" You NEVER ask my permission. " Bulma folded her arms.
" ... "
" ... "
" Oh-kay. Point. " Vegeta shrugged, " Actually he was enlarged several months ago--but that's not the point. "
" Correct my short friend. " Bulma bent down to his height and smiled at him, " The point is--you need a vacation! "
" ...a what? " Vegeta looked at her like she was speaking a foreign language.
Bulma sweatdropped, " A vacation, Vegeta. " she said, walking towards the bed to sit down. Bulma paused when she
noticed several of the blue-prints stuck to the bottom of her shoe, " Eew. " she pulled them off and looked at them, " Are
these COFFEE stains??? "
Vegeta glanced over at the empty, sticky coffee mug on his desk and walked infront of the spot, blocking it, " What
coffee? You know I don't drink coffee. I have PLENTY of pure, natural saiyajin energy! "
" Yes, and you're PRACTICALLY spending it all TRYING TO-- "
" --save Kakay from the evil den of everlasting pain and torment that Onna has shackled him into? " Vegeta finished.
" Ugh, Vegeta she didn't "shackle" Son-kun into ANYTHING! " Bulma exclaimed.
" HA! " Vegeta mock-laughed, " So says the person who allowed Onna to get away with her dark deed without even
ATTEMPTING to stop her! "
Bulma groaned, " Vegeta, Chi-Chi isn't a BAD person. "
" ... "
" ... "
" Oh-kay. Chi-Chi isn't an EVIL person. " Bulma corrected herself. Vegeta just snorted, " It's just that I think you
are COMPLETELY blowing this whole "Kakarrotto is my peasant therefore I should be ruling over him" thing. If you REALLY want
a live maid or butler instead of the servant-bots we have around Capsule Corp then I'll GLADLY hire one for you. " she said,
tired.
" But I don't WANT some mere human catering to my needs--I WANT TO BE SITTING OUT ON THE FRONTLAWN ON ONE OF THOSE
LAWNCHAIRS IN MY SWIMSHORTS WITH KAKARROTTO STANDING BY IN HIS SERVANT-MAID COSTUME FEEDING ME A PLATEFUL OF FANCY ORDERVES."
" Well you can't HAVE that. " Bulma glared at him, " There just HAPPENS to be a little thing going around called
free-will. You just MIGHT want to look it up sometime. " Vegeta just blew a raspberry at her. Bulma just rolled her eyes,
" Vegeta, as much as I'd love to hire a hit man to knock off Chi-Chi and invent a device to allow you to control Goku's mind-
-- " she paused a few seconds after her sarcastic remark to sweatdrop at the dreamy-eyed look on the ouji's face,
" --I won't. "
Vegeta's face fell, then suddenly perked up again, " Hey! "won't" doesn't mean you "can't". It's a choice word! HA! "
" Forget I even mentioned it. " Bulma shook her head, " However, I would like to offer you something else-- "
" Onna's severed head on a platter? " Vegeta grinned hopefully.
" ...no. " Bulma replied bluntly, " AND WILL YOU CUT THAT OUT!! " Vegeta glared at her, " Vegeta, how would you like
to go on a vacation? You know, perhaps spend 1 or 2 weeks just relaxing somewhere. "You" time. " she said in a nicer tone.
" ME time? " the ouji said inquisitively.
" Yes. Time for YOU to have some rest and relaxation and do things that DON'T have to do with Son-kun. " she patted
him on the shoulder.
" NO Kakay--for TWO WEEKS?! " Vegeta's eyes widened.
Bulma nodded voraciously, " Yes. No having to think about "Kakay" for a full 14 days. "
" ... " a smile spread across Vegeta's face, " You mean, I can actually DO that? I can go away, come back, and Kakay
will still "little buddy-ize" me in that unique, mushy-filled, Kaka-way of his? "
Bulma chuckled lightly, " Knowing Goku he'll probably "little buddy-ize" you three times as much after going two
whole weeks without you. "
Vegeta stared at her blankly, then walked over and gave Bulma a quick hug, then backed up again. He grinned widely
and screamed up at the ceiling, " YOU'RE A GENIUS!!!! BWAHAHAHAHA! PURE UNADULTERATED GENIUS!! " the ouji excitedly dashed
about the room, pulling clothes out of his drawers along with several large suitcases.
" Vegeta what are you doing? " Bulma gawked, confused.
The little ouji grinned, " I'm going to pack my things and rush over to Kakarrotto's before I leave! " his grin
turned into an evil smirk, " I want him to see me with those big clothing-stuffed suitcases and my "going away" outfit and
best of all I want to see the DEVASTATED look on his little Kaka-face when I tell him the news! It'll give me SO MUCH to look
forward to once I return. " Bulma sweatdropped; she could practically see the little wheels turning inside the ouji's head.
She hung her head, " What have I done!! "
" *DING*DONG* *DING*DONG* *DING*DONG*!!! " the doorbell to the Son home blasted throughout the household.
" Hey Kaasan, someone's at the door. " Gohan called from in the kitchen. His hands were full carrying two tubs of
icecream along with bowls, spoons, and hot fudge. Goten was excitedly jumping up and down in his seat, eagerly awaiting his
portion of ice cream.
" I only know one person who rings the doorbell like that and I'm NOT getting it. " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at the
TV screen, " He's rang our doorbell so many times the speed he rings it at is practically a WARNING signal around here. "
" *DING*DONG* *DING*DONG* *DING*DONG*!!! "
Gohan groaned, " Kaasan, if you don't get it _I_ will! " he plugged his ears, dropping the ice cream along with its
accessories onto the kitchen table. Goten covered his own ears with his hands, " He's going to keep on ringing that doorbell
until ONE OF US lets him in! "
" WHAT? " Chi-Chi shouted above the booming noise that was their doorbell.
" I SAID--oh for crying out loud! " Gohan walked over to the door only to have Chi-Chi push him out of the way.
" If you think I'm going to let you open this door you're CRAZY! " Chi-Chi yelled, " What if that evil little ouji's
planted a LAND MINE or attached A BOMB to the door that will cause it to EXPLODE the moment it's opened! " she sobbed
overdramtically, " I just can't let my poor sweet genius-child become a side-casualty on that Ouji's REIGN OF TERROR! "
Chi-Chi hugged Gohan tightly, then let go, " Now go get your mother some vanilla ice cream while she takes care of the stupid
little Ouji. " she shooed him away. Gohan sweatdropped and returned to the kitchen table.
Chi-Chi reached for the doorknob, then paused and looked around the house, " Gohan! "
" What? "
" Where's your Toussan? "
" Umm, I think he's upstairs, last I saw him. " Gohan replied, bewildered.
" Good. Good. I don't want him to know THAT OUJI'S here. " she narrowed her eyes at the door, then opened it
ever-so-slightly, " Hello? " Chi-Chi said flatly, then nearly fell over at the sight infront of her. There was Vegeta,
standing in the doorway wearing a brown detective's jacket that was 2 sizes too long for him, a suitcase in each hand, and
the ouji had somehow managed to get a fedora overtop his, err, unique saiyajin haircut.
Chi-Chi sweatdropped at him, " Oh for crying out loud... " she got ready to close the door again only to have Vegeta
stop it with his foot.
" I'm here to say goodbye to Kakarrotto-chan. " Vegeta said. Chi-Chi whinced; the ouji looked as though he was ready
to put on another overdramatic performance.
" He's not here, go away. " she tried to close the door on him anyway.
Vegeta glared at her, " I know Kakay's here, Onna. You can't hide him. " he said, then smirked, " Not for long. "
" Hmmph! If you MUST know, GOKU is busy right now. He doesn't have time to deal with sick little monsters like
yourself! "
" Little? "
They both froze in surprise to see a nose peeking around the corner of the hallway upstairs, sniffing the air wildly.
" Oh no. " Chi-Chi put her hand on the side of her head, " IT'S NOTHING, GO-CHAN! GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM!! "
" OH KAH-KEEEEE, GUESS WHO'S HERE!! " a familiar sing-song voice called from downstairs. An excited grin covered
Goku's face.
" LITTLE VEGGIE! " he squealed, bounding halfway down the stairs only to leap off and tackle Vegeta to the ground,
" Aww, HI little Veggie, what brings you here to our happy household to-day? " Goku held up a doodle, " Wanna see my picture!
There's me and there's you! We're battling. " he showed Vegeta the crayon drawing.
" Hey, not too bad Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said honestly, smiling at his own likeness on the drawing. He frowned,
" Unfortunately, I'm afraid, I have some BAD NEWS. "
Goku got off him, " "bad news"???? " he yelped, looking worried.
Vegeta lept to his feet, " Yes Kakarrotto, you see, soon I will be leaving you-- "
A grin appeared on Chi-Chi's face as she grabbed a nearby string hanging from the ceiling and pulled it, causing
confetti, balloons, and streamers to fall from the ceiling along with several trumpets playing a victory song.
" Luh--luh--LEAVING? Leaving as in going away? Going away as in never seeing my little Veggie again! Never seeing my
little Veggie again as in no more nice warm buddy-hugs for Veggie and me?! " the larger saiyajin's bottom lip was wobbling in
shock. His pupils were now several times larger and his eyes were filled to the brim with tears, " Wha--where are you going
little Veggie of mine? " Goku choked out.
" I'm going on a trip Kakay, a trip far FAR away from your little Kaka-hut. Far FAR away from YOU. "
" AHH-HAA!! " Goku wailed, grabbing the ouji and hugging him tightly, breathing heavily.
Vegeta's face glowed bright red, " Umm, Kakay? " he squeaked out.
" VEGGIE DON'T GO!!! " the larger saiyajin sobbed, holding on for dear life, " I'M GONNA MISS YOU TOO MUCH LITTLE
BUDDY!!! "
" Yes, I know... " Vegeta maniacally rubbed his hands together, then remembered where he was and started to glow
again, " Uhh, Kakarrotto? Would you mind letting go of me for a second? I have something important to tell you. "
" Wha--what if I let go of you and the second I let go you disappear into NOTHINGNESS!! " Goku was starting to panic.
" That wouldn't be such a bad idea.. " Chi-Chi mused, " Go ahead, Goku, try it. "
Vegeta glared at her, " Oh you'd like to see that, wouldn't you Onna? " he sneered.
" As a matter of fact it would bring me great joy, you evil little Ouji. " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at him.
" Hmm. " Vegeta gave Goku one last squeeze, then pried himself out of the monster-sized hug, " You see Kakarrotto,
you happen to, ironically, be the very reason I'm leaving on this little trip to begin with. "
" ... " Goku stared at the smaller saiyajin in utmost horror, " VEGGIE HATES ME!! " he bawled at the ceiling.
Chi-Chi sighed, " Unfortuantely not. One can only dream, can't she.. "
" No, I don't "hate" you, Kakarrotto. Don't get the wrong idea. " the ouji smirked, " You see, lately my EVIL-- " he
snickered at Chi-Chi, who stuck her tongue out at him in reply, " --little mind has been working overtime lately trying to
create the perfect plot to take you back to, you know, you're rightful owner. "
" HA! " Chi-Chi laughed mockingly. Vegeta sent a death-glare in her direction.
" However, Bul-chan made yet another one of GENIUS suggestions for which she is SO FAMOUS for. Do you know what that
suggestion was? " Vegeta prodded Goku for an answer.
" Umm, eat more fiber in your diet? " Goku grinned widely.
" ... " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow in irritation and confusion, " Uhh, no. " he sweatdropped, " She suggested that I
take a two week vacation to free my brain from my, erm.. " he fumbled for a word.
" Obsession? " Chi-Chi said skeptically, rolling her eyes.
" Yes. My obsession with all these plots of mine. " Vegeta nodded, " SO, I bought my very-own custom-made cruise ship
and intend to spend a whole 2 Kaka-free weeks drifting about the ocean in utmost luxury! " he threw his arms in the air
happily, then glanced up at Goku, " So Kakarrotto, what do you think? "
" ... "
" Kakarrotto? Kakarrotto? "
:::" Doo doo, doo doo dee doo. " the Vegeta in Goku's imagination whistled as he sat on a chair on a boat that looked
similar to the Minnow from Gilligan's Island. Suddenly a GIANT wave came up from the water and crashed onto the boat,
smashing it into a bunch of little pieces. Vegeta gasped for air as he pulled himself out of the ocean and onto a small board
from the ship. He sighed with relief, then shrieked as the water surrounding the wave fell back into the sea to reveal a very
large, gruesome, and all-out scary looking sea serpant. The creature roared, grabbed the ouji with it's jaws so his top half
was now inside the creature's mouth. The sea serpant shook Vegeta wildly in the air, then swallowed him whole. It grinned.
" Mmm, yummy. ":::
" ... "
" Kakarrotto? Hello? " Vegeta waved his hand infront of the larger saiyajin's face. Goku's eyes were now freakishly
wide and his face was a pale white.
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Goku screamed at the
top of his lungs in terror, causing Vegeta to jump back in surprise.
" Uhh, heh-heh, heh. " Vegeta laughed nervously, then Son-ishly put his hand behind his head, " Kakarrot are you
feeling alright? "
Goku turned his head towards the ouji, his eyes still wide with fear, " OH MY POOR LITTLE VEGGIE!! " he sobbed,
grabbing and hugging Vegeta, who's face began to glow bright red, " I WON'T LET THAT MEAN 'OL SEA SERPENT EAT YOU UP!!! "
Vegeta paused, then glanced over at Chi-Chi, confused and looking as if she had an answer. Chi-Chi just shrugged in
response. The ouji rubbed his chin in throught, then grinned evilly. He pulled away from the near-death-grip hug.
" Now Kakay, don't worry about that. I'm sure I could easily handle ANY fairly large sea-creature your sweet little
Kaka-mind can create. " Vegeta smirked, patting the larger saiyajin on the back.
" You really think so Veggie? " Goku blinked, still partially worried.
" Kakarrotto, sometimes I think you forget how strong I am! " Vegeta folded his arms, annoyed, " Just because you
have about a foot-- "
" --foot-n-a-half. " Goku corrected him, now grinning, magically perky again.
Vegeta gritted his teeth, " "Foot and a half", " he repeated, " on me, height-wise, does not necessarily mean I am
incapable of taking care of myself while not under your supervision. "
" Super-dee-dooper vision. " Goku corrected Vegeta for the second time. The ouji sweatdropped.
" Super-dee-dooper isn't a word. "
" Yes it is. "
" It seems the Ouji thinks you're LYING, Goku. " Chi-Chi snickered, causing Vegeta to freeze in place. He sent her a
death glare.
::HEY! I'M THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO MANIPULATE KAKAY'S EMOTIONS!!:: he angrily thought.
Goku gasped, " Chi-chan that is not true! Little Veggie would NEVER say I was lying! He believes every word I say! "
Goku chided her, shaking his finger in the air.
Vegeta's eyes grew wide as what could possibly be the most frightening yet obvious of all revelations decended upon
his royal head, " Oh my God I _DO_ believe every word Kakarrotto says... " he shivered, talking outloud to himself, " Man,
that's creepy. "
" What is creepy little Veggie 'o mine? " Goku cocked his head, overhearing the end of the ouji's sentence.
" Hmm? " Vegeta looked up at the curious expression on Goku's face, then quickly slapped himself across his own
before the glow even entered his cheeks. Vegeta coughed a few times to clear his throat, then threw himself into overdramatic
mode, " Kakarrotto, *fake-sniffle* before I leave on the SSJ Bejito-sei's maiden voyage-- "
" You mean SS. " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow.
" Nooo, I mean SSJ. " Vegeta put his hands on his hips.
" OOH! I get it! SSJ--Super Saiyajin! It's a pun, Chi-chan! " Goku giggled at Chi-Chi.
" Ahh, of course, Ouji humor. " Chi-Chi said sarcastically.
" Anyway, " Vegeta said, returning to drama-mode, " Before I leave on that big boat of mine and head out to sea, I
want you to have this. " Vegeta whipped out a white box from behind his back and held it out towards Goku.
" Oooh, a Veggie parting-gift. " Goku grabbed the box away from Vegeta with delight, " Who says parting is such sweet
sorrow? I got a GIFT! " he grinned at it.
" Yes, it's brand new. Just made recently infact. " Vegeta smirked, " And, Kakay, if it's not too much to ask, I'd
like you to wear it upon greeting me at my return. "
Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes, " It's another one of your sick, Ouji-fantasy-inspired outfits in that box, isn't it,
Vegeta? "
Goku went to peek in the box only to have Chi-Chi close it on him.
" DON'T LOOK IN THERE IT'S EVIL!! " she snapped. Goku pouted.
" Little Veggie if I wear the fancy, yet-unseen-by-my-own-eyes outfit that's in that box will that make you come back
home all the faster? " Goku asked, hoping.
Vegeta snickered, then gave the larger saiyajin a quick squeeze around the arm, " Who knows, MAYBE it will. "
Goku grinned excitedly, then squeezed the box tightly against himself, " YAY! "
" Don't forget your parasol! " Vegeta held out an object that looked much like an sparkily umbrella.
" Veggie got me a fancy umbrella too! How nice. " Goku smiled at it, taking the object.
" Actually Kakarrotto, that's to protect you from the sun, not the rain. " Vegeta smirked.
" Huh? "
" It's like sunglasses, only more "maaaaagicallll". " Vegeta wiggled his fingers about as if the parasol really had
secret powers.
Goku stared back at him with big sparkily eyes, " Maaaaagicallll? "
Chi-Chi slapped herself on the forehead, " Someone stop it now. " she turned to Vegeta, " Well, that accessory is
new. " she nodded to him.
" So is the costume. " Vegeta motioned to the box in Goku's hands, " Seeing as how loyal Kakay is I have to say I'm
going to be VERY EAGER to get BACK from vacation just so I can see how it looks on him. "
" Creep. " Chi-Chi spat.
" Witch. " Vegeta countered, then turned back to Goku, " So, will you do as I say, Kakay? "
" Oh yes little Veggie I will wear this costume for you so you can get back early from your journey. " Goku nodded in
agreement.
Vegeta rubbed his hands together, " Perfect. "
The ouji then slinked over to his peasant and pressed the button on the tape recorder he was keeping in one of the
many deep pockets of his trench coat, causing a sappy, Casablanca-ish music to emit from the recorder. Chi-Chi fell to the
ground animé style, " And now, Kakarrotto, I fear I must go! " he fake-sobbed. Chi-Chi twitched on the floor, then sat up and
shook her head at the ouji, disgusted. Goku opened his mouth to say something, only to have Vegeta interupt him, " But I will
return SOMEDAY! Maybe not today, maybe not tommorow, maybe not the day after tommorow, but SOMEDAY I will return and I want
to see you waiting for me down there at the docks when I do. " Vegeta exclaimed overdramatically.
" I will Veggie I will!! " Goku nodded his head vigorously.
" Good. Very good. " Vegeta snickered evilly, then paused and glanced up at the larger saiyajin who was ready to
burst into tears. He squeezed one of Goku's hands, then backed out towards the door.
" You watched that movie on the way up here didn't you, Ouji. " Chi-Chi said skeptically, folding her arms.
" It never hurts to ham it up a little when you've got a peasant with peanuts for brains. " Vegeta smirked at her.
" A LITTLE! " she scoffed, " If you were any more of a ham I would throw you in the oven and baste you in barbecue
sauce!! " Chi-Chi exclaimed.
Vegeta snorted, then turned to Goku and tipped his hat, " Here's lookin at you, kid. " he bowed slightly, then left
and closed the door behind him. Vegeta grinned widely and walked towards Bulma's car he had borrowed, " That was easier than
I thought. " he got in and drove off.
Goku and Chi-Chi stood infront of the closed front door, staring at it blankly.
" He's...gone. " Chi-Chi blinked, " HE'S GONE! AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! " she cheered with excitement, " HE'S
ACTUALLY GONE! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! 2 FULL OUJI-FREE WEEKS!! HAHA! BULMA YOU _ARE_ A GENIUS! " Chi-Chi turned to Goku with a
wide smile on her face, " So Go-chan what do you want to do FIRST! "
" He--he--he--HE'S GONE!!!! " Goku wailed loudly, falling to his knees, " LITTLE VEGGIE IS GONE FOREVER!! "
" I _WISH_! " Chi-Chi responded, then sighed. She helped Goku to his feet, then perked up, " But hey, 2 weeks is
still 2 weeks. " she said happily, " Listen Goku, somehow someone up there has granted us a window of opportunity. 14 days
to be together WITHOUT that Ouji butting in between us! Don't you want to take advantage of it? You know, seize the day? "
Goku looked down at the box and parasol Vegeta had given him and whimpered, then waddled up the stairs towards his
room.
" HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING! " Chi-Chi dashed to the bottom of the stairs.
" I have to be alone with my thoughts. " Goku said in a faraway voice as he entered his room and closed the door
behind him.
Chi-Chi blinked, then sighed, " Oh well, he'll get over it. " she said, then turned to Gohan and Goten, who were busy
eating ice cream, " And then we'll go on a picnic! " Chi-Chi said cheerfully.
" YAY! PICNIC!! " Goten cheered.
" *RIIIIIIP*!! "
The trio froze, all sweatdropping.
" What was THAT! " Goten exclaimed.
" Gohan, " Chi-Chi said flatly, " Tell me he didn't just open that box the Ouji gave him. "
" He didn't just open the box the Ouji gave him. " Gohan repeated, then smiled cheesily at her.
" Could you two excuse me for a minute. " Chi-Chi said politely, then walked around the corner and let out a scream,
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! "
" Oh boy... " Gohan groaned, shaking his head. Goten shoved another scoopful of chocolate ice cream in his mouth.
" Why di Mmphee screff wiik dat? " Goten's speech blubbered through the ice cream.
Meanwhile Chi-Chi bounded up the stairs, " GOKU!!! " she screamed, grabbing the doorknob, " YOU BETTER NOT BE TRYING
ON WHATEVER HORRIBLE OUTFIT THAT OUJI BOUGHT FOR YOU! IT'S PROBABLY RIDDLED WITH OUJI-GERMS!! " she bounded inside, then
gawked. Goku was holding the costume out infront of himself, looking very very confused.
" Chi-chan I am frightened for Veggie's sanity. " Goku said, staring at the costume.
Chi-Chi sweatdropped at the costume, which looked like an old-fashioned southern belle's uniform.
" He's been watching that Classic Movies channel again, hasn't he Goku? " Chi-Chi groaned.
" Yeah. " Goku replied, " I think that "Wind with the Gong" movie was on last night, if that helps. " he
sweatdropped.
" *sigh* It's "Gone with the Wind", Goku. " Chi-Chi sighed.
" Oh. "
" ... "
" ... "
" Should I try it on? "
" NO! " Chi-Chi snapped, " THAT EVIL LITTLE OUJI JUST _WANTS_ YOU TO TRY IT ON! IT'S PART OF HIS "MASTER PLAN"! AND
THAT IS WHY YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PUT THAT HIDEOUS THING ON YOUR BODY!! "
Goku let out a sigh of relief, " Oh, good. I thought that for a second there I really WAS going to have to go down to
the docks and wait for Veggie in this embarassing costume. "
" Yes, " Chi-Chi took the costume from Goku and put it back in the box, " Well I have a movie title for that little
Ouji, " she grumbled angrily, " "GONE WITH THE _FIST_!!" " she shook her own fist in the air. Goku paled.
" Chi-Chi calm down. Little Veggie isn't even HERE anymore. " he laughed nervously, then re-thought what he just said
and began to sniffle again, tears flooding back to the large saiyajin's eyes, " Veggie's...not here...any, any, any, any-- "
Chi-Chi backed up, " Goku, please don't!! "
" --MOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRR!!!! " Goku
bawled, sending two waterfalls streaming out of his eyes and onto the floor, " OH LITTLE BUDDY WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE
THIS!! WHAT!!! "
" Ehhh.. " Chi-Chi's bottom eyelid twitched as she watched saltwater from Goku's tears begin to fill up over the
floor, " It's not that bad, Goku, really it isn't. "
" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH---Chi-Chi? " Goku paused his
bawling.
" Yes? " she asked cautiously.
" Can I have a tissue? "
" GAH!! " Chi-Chi almost fell to the floor, then stood up straight, " Umm, of course you can, Go-chan. " she said,
leaving the room. Her shoes completely soaked. Chi-Chi walked down the steps and grabbed the tissuebox off the counter. Gohan
and Goten stared at their mother's wet feet in surprise.
Chi-Chi sighed, " Goku needs a tissue. " she stated, then walked back upstairs only to shriek with horror when she
re-entered Goku's room to find it now empty. Her jaw hung open in shock at what had just happened, " He, he DUPED me. " she
stood agast, " My baby duped me in order to run off to find that Ouji!!! " she gasped, then wailed, " WAAH!! GO-CHAN COME
BAAAAAACK!! IT'S NOT WORTH IT! AND YOU'LL SEE HIM AGAIN IN 2 LOUSY WEEKS ANYWAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! "
" KAASAN! " Gohan rushed into the room, " What happened?! "
Chi-Chi sniffled, " _I_ need a tissue... "
" Ahh, the smell of the ocean air. The sights, the sounds, the beautiful custom-made 3.5 billion dollar cruise liner
I had built to resemble the style of the royal ships we used to sail in back on Bejito-sei. " Vegeta mused as he boarded the
ship, carrying several suitcases; including the two from before; and a totebag, " Strange. " he murmured as he glanced at the
totebag, " Seems to have gotten heavier since I left the car... " he shrugged, " Oh well! Probably nothing. " the small ouji
grinned, then paused as an eerily familiar sound came from inside the totebag.
" Heeheehee. "
Vegeta froze on the spot at the little giggle, then shook it off. He groaned as he finished boarding the ship, " Wow,
I think I need this vacation more than I thought! "

END OF PART ONE!
Chuquita: Hmm, a little shorter than the usual chapters, but I think it came out pretty good. (to Son) Usually the first
chapter is shorter than the later ones cuz I normally use it to set up the situation I wrote about in the summary.
Goku: Actually you only got through about half the summary.
Chuquita: Oh hush! (smiles) Before we go on someone asked me in a review during my last fic, I think the person was Luna
Inverse, where I found the subtitled dbz eps online. They're at the Dragonball Arena who's URL is listed here:
http://www.emuitalia.com/dragonballarena/index.asp The website is in Italian, but you can easily find where the link to full
episodes is on the sidebar. There are Majin Buu eps in Japanese, the entire GT 'saga' in Italian, and the Bebi season of GT
in Japanese.
Goku: (grins) So there you go.
Chuquita: You know it took me forever looking online for a website that had full episodes. The eps. work too. At least they
work for me. From that site I have the japanese episodes 268, 269, 275, 276, 280, 281, 286, and 288.
Goku: ...wow, that's a lot.
Chuquita: Aaaaand I also have GT episodes 61 and 27, but for some reason 27 stopped and buffers itself about seven minutes
into the show. (to Son) I also found out I kinda like GT.
Gogeta: (grinning) (boastfully) That's because _I'M_ in it.
Vejitto: (blows a raspberry in Goggie's direction, then folds his arms pouty-like)
Gogeta: (to Chu) He's just jealous cuz he's not in it.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Hoo-boy... (to audiance) I'd have to say the only three major things I dislike about GT are Son being
turned into a child (which I think is pointless) Veggie cutting his--
Vegeta: --beautiful hair.
Chuquita: ...
Vegeta: (grin) ...
Chuquita: ...yah. That, and Veggie's growth spurt, which practically came out of NOWHERE. I mean, he's almost as tall as
Chi-Chi in GT!
Vegeta: Heh.
Chuquita: I mean some of the things I really like about Veggie; his funny short-ness, his troll-ish haircut, and that
training uniform of his are completely gone in GT.
Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) Really?
Chuquita: Yes, apparently GT you prefers leather clothes to spandex or whatever your training uniform is made out of now.
Vegeta: (looking disgusted) LEATHER?!
Chuquita: Well that's what it looked like in the episodes. I could be wrong. [shrugs]
Vegeta: (shakes it off) I hope so! (scratches his head) Now where was I...oh yeah! [holds up his own "Vote Veggie" sign] VOTE
FOR _ME_ readers. Because, ya know, I DESERVE IT! [points to Son]
Goku: (sweatdrop) I'm an "it" now?
Vegeta: Here Kakarrotto, put this on. [tosses Son a "Vote Veggie" t-shirt]
Goku: Uhh, Veggie, I don't think I'm allowed to take sides on this vote.
Vejitto: (w/big teary eyes) Daddy HATES us?
Gogeta: Umm, he's not really my Da--
Vegeta: [bops Goggie over the head] (hisses) DON'T YOU SCREW THIS UP FOR ME!
Gogeta: (groans) Yes, (whinces) 'Mommy'.
Vegeta: Better.
Gogeta: (to Veggie) You know if I had to choose I really see YOU as the Daddy and Goku as the Mommy.
Vegeta: (proudly) Why THANK YOU. [bops him again]
Gogeta: OWW! Whad I do NOW!?
Vegeta: Do not refer to Kakarrotto by his "earth name". (snorts) That is an ONNA thing.
Goku: [looking the "Vote Veggie" t-shirt Veggie's given him] Hmm... (talking to himself) You think this is big enough to fit
me?
Vegeta: (glances over at Son) Of COURSE it will, go ahead, try it on!
Goku: (bites his lip) I guess I could...
Chuquita: With Chi-Chi coming over?!
Vegeta: ONNA'S coming here? (gawks)
Chuquita: Well, Son said he'd feel a little bit more comfortable and I guess it would make it fair to get Chi-Chi, Gohan, and
Goten to come over. That is, [looks around at the steel shield surrounding the area] if we could GET them in.
Vegeta: (evil snicker) IF. [to Son] Put the t-shirt on Kakay, Onna won't mind.
Goku: Uhhhhh... [looks over at Vejitto and Gogeta]
Vejitto: (nods eagerly with a big grin on his face)
Gogeta: (giving him two thumbs-up) (smirks)
Goku: Oh, alright. [puts the t-shirt on] Hows it look?
Vegeta, Vejitto, and Gogeta: PERFECT!
Chuquita: It's, umm, nice, Son-kun.
Goku: (looks down at the shirt and sweatdrops) I feel like an advertisement.
Chuquita: We'll see you part 2 everybody.
Vegeta: [grabs Son and snaps a picture of them, grinning; Son's looking nervous and a little frightened] Say cheese,
Kakarrotto!
Goku: (sweatdrops) Veggie's starting to scare me Chu-sama.
Chuquita: (shrugs) He's just happy, Son-san.
Goku: That's what I mean.

Quote of the Week: -from DuBZ
"I like soap op-per-as." -Recoome
Chuey's Corner:
[the entire Corner desk along with the camera and lighting crew is covered by a fairly large protective steel-plated shield]
Chuquita: (happily) Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another edition of the Corner; the little mini-notes-story
thingy we have before and after chapters of the actual fic! I'm Chuquita!
Goku: (grins) And I'm Son Goku. [taps on the wall] Hey Chu, what's this thing here for anyway?
Chuquita: Why that's a "fairly large protective steel-plated shield" to keep us safe during the polls and to keep anyone from
breaking in here and threatening to have the poll swayed in either direction. Now some people would like to ask, "Chu, what
poll are you talking about?"
Vegeta: (grinning widely wearing a "Vote for Me" t-shirt and waving an "I'm #1" flag in the air) Yes Chu, what poll ARE you
talking about.
Chuquita: (glances over at Veggie and sweatdrops) Hoo-boy...
Vegeta: I've brought the children with me too, by the way.
[Both Chu & Son sweatdrop to see Vejitto and Gogeta standing next to where Veggie is sitting. Vejitto is waving happily and
Gogeta is shaking his head, mortified. Both are wearing "Vote Veggie" t-shirts]
Chuquita: (groans) Oh good gravy why did I even think I could do this poll AND let you know about it?
Vegeta: (to Ji and Goggie) CHILDREN! Tell your father how much you miss him. [points to Goku, who stares at the group
blankly]
Vejitto: (happily) I miss you Daddy!!
Gogeta: (grumbles) I don't even know why I'm here! I'm technically not even your son!! [points to Vejitto] HE'S THE SEPERATE
ENTITY! NOT ME! I'm just you and "daddy" there SHARING THE SAME BODY!!!
Vegeta: [bops Gogeta over the head] SHUT UP! DON'T SASS YOUR KAASAN YOU UNGRATEFUL FUSION-BABY!!
Gogeta: I only have 28 minutes to live, you THINK I'M HAPPY! (to Vejitto) He stole Mirai Trunks's time machine and dragged me
over here for "something important". I WAS BUSY FIGHTING JANEMBA FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD!!
Vejitto: Yeah, that's what the last 14 of you said.
Gogeta: (sweatdrops)
Chuquita: If you haven't figured it out by now or are still trying to, today's poll is summed up in one question,
"Should Veggie Win?". In every single past story I've written, no matter how hard Veggie tries to steal Son-kun away from
Chi-Chi in order to make him a "servant-maid to the throne" he always loses. That is a natural law of fanfiction, infact,
Toriyama himself goes out of his way so that even when Veggie becomes the strongest of the group he only retains that
position for a short while. Having Veggie win would probably be the same as me being able to defy the laws of gravity, or
for Son-kun to be able to, umm, do something that the sheer laws of nature would prevent him from doing!
Goku: Like eating through my nose?
Chuquita: ...uhh, yeah, sure. (weak smile) Here's the present summary for the may, may never exist story #5.
Vegeta: (evil grin) It's existance will depend upon you, o' fans of my glorious, royal saiyajin being.
Chuquita: Here's the summary!
Summary: Chi-Chi and Veggie make a bet on Goku's loyalty. The ouji says that by the time another century has past and Chi-Chi
has already gotten old and been buried he would have Son-San wrapped around his little finger, seeing as they saiyajins with
their longer life-spans and slow aging process will probably live way after the rest of the Z senshi pass on. Chi-Chi mocks
him and tells Veggie that her Go-chan loves her too much to give in to his ouji-obsessiveness. Goku is unsure if either of
them is right and a slightly worried Chi-Chi decides to take Mirai's time machine for a spin and find out. What awaits her
in the future is a fate worse than anything she possibly could have imagined for Goku. What is this fate? Will she be able
to change the future or her present to stop these events from occuring? Heck, if Mirai Trunks can do it so can Chi-Chi...
...right?
Chuquita: Several people have already asked me and NO it will NOT be a yaoi.
Vegeta: (now hanging up a banner on the back-inner-wall of the shield that reads "Help Me Enslave Kakarrotto: Vote Veggie!")
(to Chu) Heeee...
Goku: Oh-kay...now I'm getting a little creeped out.
Vejitto: (pouty) I'm not creepy, am I Daddy?
Goku: (nervous laugh) Heh-heh, of course you aren't Ji-chan.
Chuquita: (dryly) Maybe I should find a way to get Chi-Chi, Gohan, and Goten in here just to even things out.
Goku: (puppy-eyed face) I'd feel better if you could.
Chuquita: To tell the truth, Son, I agree with you. (to audiance) Here's how to vote! You can either reply in your review
on whether or not you think I should let Veggie win, e-mail me your choice, or go to
http://www.geocities.com/son_nekoni/shrine-chuey.html where Nekoni's set up a little polling booth and place your votes
there. She also has some links on that page to a couple doodles I did for the poll if you wanna see what my artwork looks
like. She's got a doodle she drew herself of Son-kun hugging Veggie in the upper left-hand corner so if you see that picture
you're probably in the right place.
Vejitto: [holding up a sign that reads; "Fusion-babies don't lie; Vote Veggie".]
Vegeta: [holding up a sign that reads: "Peasants belong to their Prince; Vote Veggie!".]
Gogeta: [holding up a sign that reads; "Somebody save me; I'm starving and I have to go to the bathroom".]
[Veggie and Vejitto sweatdrop at Goggie's sign]
Vejitto: (to Son) Don't let him fool you, he may act like Mommy on the outside, but he acts almost identical to you while in
battle. (nods happily)
Goku: (nervous laughter) Uh, heh-heh-heh, Chu? Can we start the show now?
Chuquita: Umm, sure thing Son-san.
Summary: After Bulma suggests the prince take a vacation, Veggie decides to do just that--and purchases a huge
oceanliner. While saying his two-week temporary goodbyes, a devastated Son Goku sneaks onto the ship, fearing for what could
possibly happen to his little buddy if left alone without protection. When Chi-Chi finds out she decides to take action and
with the help of Gohan and Piccolo, track down the oceanliner to "save" Son. How will they find one person on this 'little
chunk of Bejito-sei'? Does he WANT to be found? Does Veggie even know Goku is there? Find out!
Chuquita: You know I've always wanted to go on a cruise.
Goku: (musing) The water, the fish, the salty sea air--
Vegeta: --the seagull doody that hits you on the head the moment you drop your guard.
Goku: ... (perks up) SILLY VEGGIE!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" IT'S HOPELESS! *SOB*! "
Bulma paused as she walked by a familiar bedroom door labeled "Vegeta Oujisama's Headquarters--KEEP OUT". She knocked
on the door, then peered inside, " Umm, Vegeta? "
" I've tried EVERYTHING I could think of! All my plots--my diabolical schemes--WORTHLESS! " Vegeta wailed as he sat
amidst an endless sea of blue-prints. A life-sized Goku plush toy was sitting on the floor a few feet away from him, leaning
against the side of the bed. He lunged at the plush and hugged it, " I'll NEVER be able to own you--NEVER!! "
" Uhh, Vegeta? "
The ouji froze, realizing there was someone in the doorway, " Umm, hi Bulma. " he grinned cheesily, his eyes
bloodshot and his face slightly pale.
" Yes, hi. " she walked into the room, " Where did you get all these papers? " Bulma went to go pick one up, only
to hear a sudden yelp as Vegeta flew like a landslide down to that end of the room and grabbed the paper before she could get
to it.
" Heh-heh-heh. " he laughed nervously up at her.
" ... " Bulma blinked, then sweatdropped as it hit her, " You're plotting again, aren't you. " she said flatly.
" NO! What would make you think that? " Vegeta said innocently, getting up.
" You mean besides the look of work-fatigue on your face, the zillions of blue-prints on the floor, and the...giant
plush toy of Son-kun you have over there--WHERE DID YOU GET A LIFE-SIZED PLUSH TOY OF SON-KUN!! " Bulma groaned.
" Kaka-chan? Umm, I've, I've always had him. " Vegeta said, avoiding eye-contact, " Remember, he used to, umm, sit
ontop of the bookcase with, err, Pookee. " he pointed to his teddy-bear, who was infact sitting on the aforementioned object.
Bulma cocked an eyebrow at "Kaka-chan", who had a tiny smile on his face and two black vertical oval-shaped beads for
eyes, " You sent him through my enlarging ray, didn't you Vegeta? "
" Now why would _I_ do such a thing without asking your permission! " Vegeta fake-gasped.
" You NEVER ask my permission. " Bulma folded her arms.
" ... "
" ... "
" Oh-kay. Point. " Vegeta shrugged, " Actually he was enlarged several months ago--but that's not the point. "
" Correct my short friend. " Bulma bent down to his height and smiled at him, " The point is--you need a vacation! "
" ...a what? " Vegeta looked at her like she was speaking a foreign language.
Bulma sweatdropped, " A vacation, Vegeta. " she said, walking towards the bed to sit down. Bulma paused when she
noticed several of the blue-prints stuck to the bottom of her shoe, " Eew. " she pulled them off and looked at them, " Are
these COFFEE stains??? "
Vegeta glanced over at the empty, sticky coffee mug on his desk and walked infront of the spot, blocking it, " What
coffee? You know I don't drink coffee. I have PLENTY of pure, natural saiyajin energy! "
" Yes, and you're PRACTICALLY spending it all TRYING TO-- "
" --save Kakay from the evil den of everlasting pain and torment that Onna has shackled him into? " Vegeta finished.
" Ugh, Vegeta she didn't "shackle" Son-kun into ANYTHING! " Bulma exclaimed.
" HA! " Vegeta mock-laughed, " So says the person who allowed Onna to get away with her dark deed without even
ATTEMPTING to stop her! "
Bulma groaned, " Vegeta, Chi-Chi isn't a BAD person. "
" ... "
" ... "
" Oh-kay. Chi-Chi isn't an EVIL person. " Bulma corrected herself. Vegeta just snorted, " It's just that I think you
are COMPLETELY blowing this whole "Kakarrotto is my peasant therefore I should be ruling over him" thing. If you REALLY want
a live maid or butler instead of the servant-bots we have around Capsule Corp then I'll GLADLY hire one for you. " she said,
tired.
" But I don't WANT some mere human catering to my needs--I WANT TO BE SITTING OUT ON THE FRONTLAWN ON ONE OF THOSE
LAWNCHAIRS IN MY SWIMSHORTS WITH KAKARROTTO STANDING BY IN HIS SERVANT-MAID COSTUME FEEDING ME A PLATEFUL OF FANCY ORDERVES."
" Well you can't HAVE that. " Bulma glared at him, " There just HAPPENS to be a little thing going around called
free-will. You just MIGHT want to look it up sometime. " Vegeta just blew a raspberry at her. Bulma just rolled her eyes,
" Vegeta, as much as I'd love to hire a hit man to knock off Chi-Chi and invent a device to allow you to control Goku's mind-
-- " she paused a few seconds after her sarcastic remark to sweatdrop at the dreamy-eyed look on the ouji's face,
" --I won't. "
Vegeta's face fell, then suddenly perked up again, " Hey! "won't" doesn't mean you "can't". It's a choice word! HA! "
" Forget I even mentioned it. " Bulma shook her head, " However, I would like to offer you something else-- "
" Onna's severed head on a platter? " Vegeta grinned hopefully.
" ...no. " Bulma replied bluntly, " AND WILL YOU CUT THAT OUT!! " Vegeta glared at her, " Vegeta, how would you like
to go on a vacation? You know, perhaps spend 1 or 2 weeks just relaxing somewhere. "You" time. " she said in a nicer tone.
" ME time? " the ouji said inquisitively.
" Yes. Time for YOU to have some rest and relaxation and do things that DON'T have to do with Son-kun. " she patted
him on the shoulder.
" NO Kakay--for TWO WEEKS?! " Vegeta's eyes widened.
Bulma nodded voraciously, " Yes. No having to think about "Kakay" for a full 14 days. "
" ... " a smile spread across Vegeta's face, " You mean, I can actually DO that? I can go away, come back, and Kakay
will still "little buddy-ize" me in that unique, mushy-filled, Kaka-way of his? "
Bulma chuckled lightly, " Knowing Goku he'll probably "little buddy-ize" you three times as much after going two
whole weeks without you. "
Vegeta stared at her blankly, then walked over and gave Bulma a quick hug, then backed up again. He grinned widely
and screamed up at the ceiling, " YOU'RE A GENIUS!!!! BWAHAHAHAHA! PURE UNADULTERATED GENIUS!! " the ouji excitedly dashed
about the room, pulling clothes out of his drawers along with several large suitcases.
" Vegeta what are you doing? " Bulma gawked, confused.
The little ouji grinned, " I'm going to pack my things and rush over to Kakarrotto's before I leave! " his grin
turned into an evil smirk, " I want him to see me with those big clothing-stuffed suitcases and my "going away" outfit and
best of all I want to see the DEVASTATED look on his little Kaka-face when I tell him the news! It'll give me SO MUCH to look
forward to once I return. " Bulma sweatdropped; she could practically see the little wheels turning inside the ouji's head.
She hung her head, " What have I done!! "
" *DING*DONG* *DING*DONG* *DING*DONG*!!! " the doorbell to the Son home blasted throughout the household.
" Hey Kaasan, someone's at the door. " Gohan called from in the kitchen. His hands were full carrying two tubs of
icecream along with bowls, spoons, and hot fudge. Goten was excitedly jumping up and down in his seat, eagerly awaiting his
portion of ice cream.
" I only know one person who rings the doorbell like that and I'm NOT getting it. " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at the
TV screen, " He's rang our doorbell so many times the speed he rings it at is practically a WARNING signal around here. "
" *DING*DONG* *DING*DONG* *DING*DONG*!!! "
Gohan groaned, " Kaasan, if you don't get it _I_ will! " he plugged his ears, dropping the ice cream along with its
accessories onto the kitchen table. Goten covered his own ears with his hands, " He's going to keep on ringing that doorbell
until ONE OF US lets him in! "
" WHAT? " Chi-Chi shouted above the booming noise that was their doorbell.
" I SAID--oh for crying out loud! " Gohan walked over to the door only to have Chi-Chi push him out of the way.
" If you think I'm going to let you open this door you're CRAZY! " Chi-Chi yelled, " What if that evil little ouji's
planted a LAND MINE or attached A BOMB to the door that will cause it to EXPLODE the moment it's opened! " she sobbed
overdramtically, " I just can't let my poor sweet genius-child become a side-casualty on that Ouji's REIGN OF TERROR! "
Chi-Chi hugged Gohan tightly, then let go, " Now go get your mother some vanilla ice cream while she takes care of the stupid
little Ouji. " she shooed him away. Gohan sweatdropped and returned to the kitchen table.
Chi-Chi reached for the doorknob, then paused and looked around the house, " Gohan! "
" What? "
" Where's your Toussan? "
" Umm, I think he's upstairs, last I saw him. " Gohan replied, bewildered.
" Good. Good. I don't want him to know THAT OUJI'S here. " she narrowed her eyes at the door, then opened it
ever-so-slightly, " Hello? " Chi-Chi said flatly, then nearly fell over at the sight infront of her. There was Vegeta,
standing in the doorway wearing a brown detective's jacket that was 2 sizes too long for him, a suitcase in each hand, and
the ouji had somehow managed to get a fedora overtop his, err, unique saiyajin haircut.
Chi-Chi sweatdropped at him, " Oh for crying out loud... " she got ready to close the door again only to have Vegeta
stop it with his foot.
" I'm here to say goodbye to Kakarrotto-chan. " Vegeta said. Chi-Chi whinced; the ouji looked as though he was ready
to put on another overdramatic performance.
" He's not here, go away. " she tried to close the door on him anyway.
Vegeta glared at her, " I know Kakay's here, Onna. You can't hide him. " he said, then smirked, " Not for long. "
" Hmmph! If you MUST know, GOKU is busy right now. He doesn't have time to deal with sick little monsters like
yourself! "
" Little? "
They both froze in surprise to see a nose peeking around the corner of the hallway upstairs, sniffing the air wildly.
" Oh no. " Chi-Chi put her hand on the side of her head, " IT'S NOTHING, GO-CHAN! GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM!! "
" OH KAH-KEEEEE, GUESS WHO'S HERE!! " a familiar sing-song voice called from downstairs. An excited grin covered
Goku's face.
" LITTLE VEGGIE! " he squealed, bounding halfway down the stairs only to leap off and tackle Vegeta to the ground,
" Aww, HI little Veggie, what brings you here to our happy household to-day? " Goku held up a doodle, " Wanna see my picture!
There's me and there's you! We're battling. " he showed Vegeta the crayon drawing.
" Hey, not too bad Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said honestly, smiling at his own likeness on the drawing. He frowned,
" Unfortunately, I'm afraid, I have some BAD NEWS. "
Goku got off him, " "bad news"???? " he yelped, looking worried.
Vegeta lept to his feet, " Yes Kakarrotto, you see, soon I will be leaving you-- "
A grin appeared on Chi-Chi's face as she grabbed a nearby string hanging from the ceiling and pulled it, causing
confetti, balloons, and streamers to fall from the ceiling along with several trumpets playing a victory song.
" Luh--luh--LEAVING? Leaving as in going away? Going away as in never seeing my little Veggie again! Never seeing my
little Veggie again as in no more nice warm buddy-hugs for Veggie and me?! " the larger saiyajin's bottom lip was wobbling in
shock. His pupils were now several times larger and his eyes were filled to the brim with tears, " Wha--where are you going
little Veggie of mine? " Goku choked out.
" I'm going on a trip Kakay, a trip far FAR away from your little Kaka-hut. Far FAR away from YOU. "
" AHH-HAA!! " Goku wailed, grabbing the ouji and hugging him tightly, breathing heavily.
Vegeta's face glowed bright red, " Umm, Kakay? " he squeaked out.
" VEGGIE DON'T GO!!! " the larger saiyajin sobbed, holding on for dear life, " I'M GONNA MISS YOU TOO MUCH LITTLE
BUDDY!!! "
" Yes, I know... " Vegeta maniacally rubbed his hands together, then remembered where he was and started to glow
again, " Uhh, Kakarrotto? Would you mind letting go of me for a second? I have something important to tell you. "
" Wha--what if I let go of you and the second I let go you disappear into NOTHINGNESS!! " Goku was starting to panic.
" That wouldn't be such a bad idea.. " Chi-Chi mused, " Go ahead, Goku, try it. "
Vegeta glared at her, " Oh you'd like to see that, wouldn't you Onna? " he sneered.
" As a matter of fact it would bring me great joy, you evil little Ouji. " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at him.
" Hmm. " Vegeta gave Goku one last squeeze, then pried himself out of the monster-sized hug, " You see Kakarrotto,
you happen to, ironically, be the very reason I'm leaving on this little trip to begin with. "
" ... " Goku stared at the smaller saiyajin in utmost horror, " VEGGIE HATES ME!! " he bawled at the ceiling.
Chi-Chi sighed, " Unfortuantely not. One can only dream, can't she.. "
" No, I don't "hate" you, Kakarrotto. Don't get the wrong idea. " the ouji smirked, " You see, lately my EVIL-- " he
snickered at Chi-Chi, who stuck her tongue out at him in reply, " --little mind has been working overtime lately trying to
create the perfect plot to take you back to, you know, you're rightful owner. "
" HA! " Chi-Chi laughed mockingly. Vegeta sent a death-glare in her direction.
" However, Bul-chan made yet another one of GENIUS suggestions for which she is SO FAMOUS for. Do you know what that
suggestion was? " Vegeta prodded Goku for an answer.
" Umm, eat more fiber in your diet? " Goku grinned widely.
" ... " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow in irritation and confusion, " Uhh, no. " he sweatdropped, " She suggested that I
take a two week vacation to free my brain from my, erm.. " he fumbled for a word.
" Obsession? " Chi-Chi said skeptically, rolling her eyes.
" Yes. My obsession with all these plots of mine. " Vegeta nodded, " SO, I bought my very-own custom-made cruise ship
and intend to spend a whole 2 Kaka-free weeks drifting about the ocean in utmost luxury! " he threw his arms in the air
happily, then glanced up at Goku, " So Kakarrotto, what do you think? "
" ... "
" Kakarrotto? Kakarrotto? "
:::" Doo doo, doo doo dee doo. " the Vegeta in Goku's imagination whistled as he sat on a chair on a boat that looked
similar to the Minnow from Gilligan's Island. Suddenly a GIANT wave came up from the water and crashed onto the boat,
smashing it into a bunch of little pieces. Vegeta gasped for air as he pulled himself out of the ocean and onto a small board
from the ship. He sighed with relief, then shrieked as the water surrounding the wave fell back into the sea to reveal a very
large, gruesome, and all-out scary looking sea serpant. The creature roared, grabbed the ouji with it's jaws so his top half
was now inside the creature's mouth. The sea serpant shook Vegeta wildly in the air, then swallowed him whole. It grinned.
" Mmm, yummy. ":::
" ... "
" Kakarrotto? Hello? " Vegeta waved his hand infront of the larger saiyajin's face. Goku's eyes were now freakishly
wide and his face was a pale white.
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Goku screamed at the
top of his lungs in terror, causing Vegeta to jump back in surprise.
" Uhh, heh-heh, heh. " Vegeta laughed nervously, then Son-ishly put his hand behind his head, " Kakarrot are you
feeling alright? "
Goku turned his head towards the ouji, his eyes still wide with fear, " OH MY POOR LITTLE VEGGIE!! " he sobbed,
grabbing and hugging Vegeta, who's face began to glow bright red, " I WON'T LET THAT MEAN 'OL SEA SERPENT EAT YOU UP!!! "
Vegeta paused, then glanced over at Chi-Chi, confused and looking as if she had an answer. Chi-Chi just shrugged in
response. The ouji rubbed his chin in throught, then grinned evilly. He pulled away from the near-death-grip hug.
" Now Kakay, don't worry about that. I'm sure I could easily handle ANY fairly large sea-creature your sweet little
Kaka-mind can create. " Vegeta smirked, patting the larger saiyajin on the back.
" You really think so Veggie? " Goku blinked, still partially worried.
" Kakarrotto, sometimes I think you forget how strong I am! " Vegeta folded his arms, annoyed, " Just because you
have about a foot-- "
" --foot-n-a-half. " Goku corrected him, now grinning, magically perky again.
Vegeta gritted his teeth, " "Foot and a half", " he repeated, " on me, height-wise, does not necessarily mean I am
incapable of taking care of myself while not under your supervision. "
" Super-dee-dooper vision. " Goku corrected Vegeta for the second time. The ouji sweatdropped.
" Super-dee-dooper isn't a word. "
" Yes it is. "
" It seems the Ouji thinks you're LYING, Goku. " Chi-Chi snickered, causing Vegeta to freeze in place. He sent her a
death glare.
::HEY! I'M THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO MANIPULATE KAKAY'S EMOTIONS!!:: he angrily thought.
Goku gasped, " Chi-chan that is not true! Little Veggie would NEVER say I was lying! He believes every word I say! "
Goku chided her, shaking his finger in the air.
Vegeta's eyes grew wide as what could possibly be the most frightening yet obvious of all revelations decended upon
his royal head, " Oh my God I _DO_ believe every word Kakarrotto says... " he shivered, talking outloud to himself, " Man,
that's creepy. "
" What is creepy little Veggie 'o mine? " Goku cocked his head, overhearing the end of the ouji's sentence.
" Hmm? " Vegeta looked up at the curious expression on Goku's face, then quickly slapped himself across his own
before the glow even entered his cheeks. Vegeta coughed a few times to clear his throat, then threw himself into overdramatic
mode, " Kakarrotto, *fake-sniffle* before I leave on the SSJ Bejito-sei's maiden voyage-- "
" You mean SS. " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow.
" Nooo, I mean SSJ. " Vegeta put his hands on his hips.
" OOH! I get it! SSJ--Super Saiyajin! It's a pun, Chi-chan! " Goku giggled at Chi-Chi.
" Ahh, of course, Ouji humor. " Chi-Chi said sarcastically.
" Anyway, " Vegeta said, returning to drama-mode, " Before I leave on that big boat of mine and head out to sea, I
want you to have this. " Vegeta whipped out a white box from behind his back and held it out towards Goku.
" Oooh, a Veggie parting-gift. " Goku grabbed the box away from Vegeta with delight, " Who says parting is such sweet
sorrow? I got a GIFT! " he grinned at it.
" Yes, it's brand new. Just made recently infact. " Vegeta smirked, " And, Kakay, if it's not too much to ask, I'd
like you to wear it upon greeting me at my return. "
Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes, " It's another one of your sick, Ouji-fantasy-inspired outfits in that box, isn't it,
Vegeta? "
Goku went to peek in the box only to have Chi-Chi close it on him.
" DON'T LOOK IN THERE IT'S EVIL!! " she snapped. Goku pouted.
" Little Veggie if I wear the fancy, yet-unseen-by-my-own-eyes outfit that's in that box will that make you come back
home all the faster? " Goku asked, hoping.
Vegeta snickered, then gave the larger saiyajin a quick squeeze around the arm, " Who knows, MAYBE it will. "
Goku grinned excitedly, then squeezed the box tightly against himself, " YAY! "
" Don't forget your parasol! " Vegeta held out an object that looked much like an sparkily umbrella.
" Veggie got me a fancy umbrella too! How nice. " Goku smiled at it, taking the object.
" Actually Kakarrotto, that's to protect you from the sun, not the rain. " Vegeta smirked.
" Huh? "
" It's like sunglasses, only more "maaaaagicallll". " Vegeta wiggled his fingers about as if the parasol really had
secret powers.
Goku stared back at him with big sparkily eyes, " Maaaaagicallll? "
Chi-Chi slapped herself on the forehead, " Someone stop it now. " she turned to Vegeta, " Well, that accessory is
new. " she nodded to him.
" So is the costume. " Vegeta motioned to the box in Goku's hands, " Seeing as how loyal Kakay is I have to say I'm
going to be VERY EAGER to get BACK from vacation just so I can see how it looks on him. "
" Creep. " Chi-Chi spat.
" Witch. " Vegeta countered, then turned back to Goku, " So, will you do as I say, Kakay? "
" Oh yes little Veggie I will wear this costume for you so you can get back early from your journey. " Goku nodded in
agreement.
Vegeta rubbed his hands together, " Perfect. "
The ouji then slinked over to his peasant and pressed the button on the tape recorder he was keeping in one of the
many deep pockets of his trench coat, causing a sappy, Casablanca-ish music to emit from the recorder. Chi-Chi fell to the
ground animé style, " And now, Kakarrotto, I fear I must go! " he fake-sobbed. Chi-Chi twitched on the floor, then sat up and
shook her head at the ouji, disgusted. Goku opened his mouth to say something, only to have Vegeta interupt him, " But I will
return SOMEDAY! Maybe not today, maybe not tommorow, maybe not the day after tommorow, but SOMEDAY I will return and I want
to see you waiting for me down there at the docks when I do. " Vegeta exclaimed overdramatically.
" I will Veggie I will!! " Goku nodded his head vigorously.
" Good. Very good. " Vegeta snickered evilly, then paused and glanced up at the larger saiyajin who was ready to
burst into tears. He squeezed one of Goku's hands, then backed out towards the door.
" You watched that movie on the way up here didn't you, Ouji. " Chi-Chi said skeptically, folding her arms.
" It never hurts to ham it up a little when you've got a peasant with peanuts for brains. " Vegeta smirked at her.
" A LITTLE! " she scoffed, " If you were any more of a ham I would throw you in the oven and baste you in barbecue
sauce!! " Chi-Chi exclaimed.
Vegeta snorted, then turned to Goku and tipped his hat, " Here's lookin at you, kid. " he bowed slightly, then left
and closed the door behind him. Vegeta grinned widely and walked towards Bulma's car he had borrowed, " That was easier than
I thought. " he got in and drove off.
Goku and Chi-Chi stood infront of the closed front door, staring at it blankly.
" He's...gone. " Chi-Chi blinked, " HE'S GONE! AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! " she cheered with excitement, " HE'S
ACTUALLY GONE! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! 2 FULL OUJI-FREE WEEKS!! HAHA! BULMA YOU _ARE_ A GENIUS! " Chi-Chi turned to Goku with a
wide smile on her face, " So Go-chan what do you want to do FIRST! "
" He--he--he--HE'S GONE!!!! " Goku wailed loudly, falling to his knees, " LITTLE VEGGIE IS GONE FOREVER!! "
" I _WISH_! " Chi-Chi responded, then sighed. She helped Goku to his feet, then perked up, " But hey, 2 weeks is
still 2 weeks. " she said happily, " Listen Goku, somehow someone up there has granted us a window of opportunity. 14 days
to be together WITHOUT that Ouji butting in between us! Don't you want to take advantage of it? You know, seize the day? "
Goku looked down at the box and parasol Vegeta had given him and whimpered, then waddled up the stairs towards his
room.
" HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING! " Chi-Chi dashed to the bottom of the stairs.
" I have to be alone with my thoughts. " Goku said in a faraway voice as he entered his room and closed the door
behind him.
Chi-Chi blinked, then sighed, " Oh well, he'll get over it. " she said, then turned to Gohan and Goten, who were busy
eating ice cream, " And then we'll go on a picnic! " Chi-Chi said cheerfully.
" YAY! PICNIC!! " Goten cheered.
" *RIIIIIIP*!! "
The trio froze, all sweatdropping.
" What was THAT! " Goten exclaimed.
" Gohan, " Chi-Chi said flatly, " Tell me he didn't just open that box the Ouji gave him. "
" He didn't just open the box the Ouji gave him. " Gohan repeated, then smiled cheesily at her.
" Could you two excuse me for a minute. " Chi-Chi said politely, then walked around the corner and let out a scream,
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! "
" Oh boy... " Gohan groaned, shaking his head. Goten shoved another scoopful of chocolate ice cream in his mouth.
" Why di Mmphee screff wiik dat? " Goten's speech blubbered through the ice cream.
Meanwhile Chi-Chi bounded up the stairs, " GOKU!!! " she screamed, grabbing the doorknob, " YOU BETTER NOT BE TRYING
ON WHATEVER HORRIBLE OUTFIT THAT OUJI BOUGHT FOR YOU! IT'S PROBABLY RIDDLED WITH OUJI-GERMS!! " she bounded inside, then
gawked. Goku was holding the costume out infront of himself, looking very very confused.
" Chi-chan I am frightened for Veggie's sanity. " Goku said, staring at the costume.
Chi-Chi sweatdropped at the costume, which looked like an old-fashioned southern belle's uniform.
" He's been watching that Classic Movies channel again, hasn't he Goku? " Chi-Chi groaned.
" Yeah. " Goku replied, " I think that "Wind with the Gong" movie was on last night, if that helps. " he
sweatdropped.
" *sigh* It's "Gone with the Wind", Goku. " Chi-Chi sighed.
" Oh. "
" ... "
" ... "
" Should I try it on? "
" NO! " Chi-Chi snapped, " THAT EVIL LITTLE OUJI JUST _WANTS_ YOU TO TRY IT ON! IT'S PART OF HIS "MASTER PLAN"! AND
THAT IS WHY YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PUT THAT HIDEOUS THING ON YOUR BODY!! "
Goku let out a sigh of relief, " Oh, good. I thought that for a second there I really WAS going to have to go down to
the docks and wait for Veggie in this embarassing costume. "
" Yes, " Chi-Chi took the costume from Goku and put it back in the box, " Well I have a movie title for that little
Ouji, " she grumbled angrily, " "GONE WITH THE _FIST_!!" " she shook her own fist in the air. Goku paled.
" Chi-Chi calm down. Little Veggie isn't even HERE anymore. " he laughed nervously, then re-thought what he just said
and began to sniffle again, tears flooding back to the large saiyajin's eyes, " Veggie's...not here...any, any, any, any-- "
Chi-Chi backed up, " Goku, please don't!! "
" --MOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRR!!!! " Goku
bawled, sending two waterfalls streaming out of his eyes and onto the floor, " OH LITTLE BUDDY WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE
THIS!! WHAT!!! "
" Ehhh.. " Chi-Chi's bottom eyelid twitched as she watched saltwater from Goku's tears begin to fill up over the
floor, " It's not that bad, Goku, really it isn't. "
" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH---Chi-Chi? " Goku paused his
bawling.
" Yes? " she asked cautiously.
" Can I have a tissue? "
" GAH!! " Chi-Chi almost fell to the floor, then stood up straight, " Umm, of course you can, Go-chan. " she said,
leaving the room. Her shoes completely soaked. Chi-Chi walked down the steps and grabbed the tissuebox off the counter. Gohan
and Goten stared at their mother's wet feet in surprise.
Chi-Chi sighed, " Goku needs a tissue. " she stated, then walked back upstairs only to shriek with horror when she
re-entered Goku's room to find it now empty. Her jaw hung open in shock at what had just happened, " He, he DUPED me. " she
stood agast, " My baby duped me in order to run off to find that Ouji!!! " she gasped, then wailed, " WAAH!! GO-CHAN COME
BAAAAAACK!! IT'S NOT WORTH IT! AND YOU'LL SEE HIM AGAIN IN 2 LOUSY WEEKS ANYWAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! "
" KAASAN! " Gohan rushed into the room, " What happened?! "
Chi-Chi sniffled, " _I_ need a tissue... "
" Ahh, the smell of the ocean air. The sights, the sounds, the beautiful custom-made 3.5 billion dollar cruise liner
I had built to resemble the style of the royal ships we used to sail in back on Bejito-sei. " Vegeta mused as he boarded the
ship, carrying several suitcases; including the two from before; and a totebag, " Strange. " he murmured as he glanced at the
totebag, " Seems to have gotten heavier since I left the car... " he shrugged, " Oh well! Probably nothing. " the small ouji
grinned, then paused as an eerily familiar sound came from inside the totebag.
" Heeheehee. "
Vegeta froze on the spot at the little giggle, then shook it off. He groaned as he finished boarding the ship, " Wow,
I think I need this vacation more than I thought! "

END OF PART ONE!
Chuquita: Hmm, a little shorter than the usual chapters, but I think it came out pretty good. (to Son) Usually the first
chapter is shorter than the later ones cuz I normally use it to set up the situation I wrote about in the summary.
Goku: Actually you only got through about half the summary.
Chuquita: Oh hush! (smiles) Before we go on someone asked me in a review during my last fic, I think the person was Luna
Inverse, where I found the subtitled dbz eps online. They're at the Dragonball Arena who's URL is listed here:
http://www.emuitalia.com/dragonballarena/index.asp The website is in Italian, but you can easily find where the link to full
episodes is on the sidebar. There are Majin Buu eps in Japanese, the entire GT 'saga' in Italian, and the Bebi season of GT
in Japanese.
Goku: (grins) So there you go.
Chuquita: You know it took me forever looking online for a website that had full episodes. The eps. work too. At least they
work for me. From that site I have the japanese episodes 268, 269, 275, 276, 280, 281, 286, and 288.
Goku: ...wow, that's a lot.
Chuquita: Aaaaand I also have GT episodes 61 and 27, but for some reason 27 stopped and buffers itself about seven minutes
into the show. (to Son) I also found out I kinda like GT.
Gogeta: (grinning) (boastfully) That's because _I'M_ in it.
Vejitto: (blows a raspberry in Goggie's direction, then folds his arms pouty-like)
Gogeta: (to Chu) He's just jealous cuz he's not in it.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Hoo-boy... (to audiance) I'd have to say the only three major things I dislike about GT are Son being
turned into a child (which I think is pointless) Veggie cutting his--
Vegeta: --beautiful hair.
Chuquita: ...
Vegeta: (grin) ...
Chuquita: ...yah. That, and Veggie's growth spurt, which practically came out of NOWHERE. I mean, he's almost as tall as
Chi-Chi in GT!
Vegeta: Heh.
Chuquita: I mean some of the things I really like about Veggie; his funny short-ness, his troll-ish haircut, and that
training uniform of his are completely gone in GT.
Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) Really?
Chuquita: Yes, apparently GT you prefers leather clothes to spandex or whatever your training uniform is made out of now.
Vegeta: (looking disgusted) LEATHER?!
Chuquita: Well that's what it looked like in the episodes. I could be wrong. [shrugs]
Vegeta: (shakes it off) I hope so! (scratches his head) Now where was I...oh yeah! [holds up his own "Vote Veggie" sign] VOTE
FOR _ME_ readers. Because, ya know, I DESERVE IT! [points to Son]
Goku: (sweatdrop) I'm an "it" now?
Vegeta: Here Kakarrotto, put this on. [tosses Son a "Vote Veggie" t-shirt]
Goku: Uhh, Veggie, I don't think I'm allowed to take sides on this vote.
Vejitto: (w/big teary eyes) Daddy HATES us?
Gogeta: Umm, he's not really my Da--
Vegeta: [bops Goggie over the head] (hisses) DON'T YOU SCREW THIS UP FOR ME!
Gogeta: (groans) Yes, (whinces) 'Mommy'.
Vegeta: Better.
Gogeta: (to Veggie) You know if I had to choose I really see YOU as the Daddy and Goku as the Mommy.
Vegeta: (proudly) Why THANK YOU. [bops him again]
Gogeta: OWW! Whad I do NOW!?
Vegeta: Do not refer to Kakarrotto by his "earth name". (snorts) That is an ONNA thing.
Goku: [looking the "Vote Veggie" t-shirt Veggie's given him] Hmm... (talking to himself) You think this is big enough to fit
me?
Vegeta: (glances over at Son) Of COURSE it will, go ahead, try it on!
Goku: (bites his lip) I guess I could...
Chuquita: With Chi-Chi coming over?!
Vegeta: ONNA'S coming here? (gawks)
Chuquita: Well, Son said he'd feel a little bit more comfortable and I guess it would make it fair to get Chi-Chi, Gohan, and
Goten to come over. That is, [looks around at the steel shield surrounding the area] if we could GET them in.
Vegeta: (evil snicker) IF. [to Son] Put the t-shirt on Kakay, Onna won't mind.
Goku: Uhhhhh... [looks over at Vejitto and Gogeta]
Vejitto: (nods eagerly with a big grin on his face)
Gogeta: (giving him two thumbs-up) (smirks)
Goku: Oh, alright. [puts the t-shirt on] Hows it look?
Vegeta, Vejitto, and Gogeta: PERFECT!
Chuquita: It's, umm, nice, Son-kun.
Goku: (looks down at the shirt and sweatdrops) I feel like an advertisement.
Chuquita: We'll see you part 2 everybody.
Vegeta: [grabs Son and snaps a picture of them, grinning; Son's looking nervous and a little frightened] Say cheese,
Kakarrotto!
Goku: (sweatdrops) Veggie's starting to scare me Chu-sama.
Chuquita: (shrugs) He's just happy, Son-san.
Goku: That's what I mean.
