Quote of the Week: -from "Peanuts"
Snoopy: (typing on his typewriter) It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly a shot rang out. A door slammed. The maid
screamed. Suddenly a pirate ship appeared on the horizon. While millions of people were starving the king lived in luxury.
Meanwhile, on a small in Kansas, a boy was growing up. End of Part I. Part II. A light snow was falling, and the little girl
with the tattered shaw had not sold a violet all day.
...
...
Snoopy: At that very moment, a young intern at City Hospital was making an important discovery.
...
...
Snoopy: I may have written myself into a corner...
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: ...and that's where we come in. (grins)
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) I knew that quote had to be going somewhere.
Vejitto: It was too long not to be.
Goku: Hahaha. I get it! He said "corner" and we're in our own "corner". Heeheehee.
Vegeta: ...
Goku: (elbows him) It's a, it's a gag Veggie.
Vegeta: (sweatdrop) I got it. (glances over at Chi-Chi; who's busy fuming angrily at him) (smirks) (to Chu) Say Chu, if it
wouldn't be too much trouble do you mind switching seats with--
Chuquita: I sit in the middle for a reason, Vedge. (groans) Besides, Chi-Chi'd threaten me at gun-point if I let you sit
next to Son-kun here.
Chi-Chi: (nods) That's right.
Vegeta: HA! [points to her] THREATENING THE HOST IS CHEATING! YOU ARE DISQUALIFIED AND I AM THE SUPREME VICTOR!! (to Goku)
Kakarrotto! Come sit on my lap.
Goku: (sweatdrops) But I'd crush you! I'm too heavy.
Vegeta: No you're not, now get over here!
Goku: (uneasy) You're not gonna spray me with that yellow gunk from your tail again, are you?
Vegeta: Of course not! That one is only temporary. The pink one is PERMANENT. (evil smirk)
Goku: There's a pink spray?
Vegeta: Would you care to see it?
Goku: (panic) NO!!
Vegeta: I could show you how to spary things with yours.
Goku: [peeks at his own tail which is underneath his belt/sash] (grins) K! [zips over to Veggie]
Vegeta: (calmly) Now I want you to remove that tail-suffocating garment from around your waist so it can move about freely.
Goku: Alright Veggie. [does so] [tail violently snaps free of the sash and starts to cheerfully yet slightly psychotically
twitch and wave about in the air]
Vegeta: (to Goku's tail) So? How do you feel now?
Goku's tail: [snaps tight and wraps itself around Veggie's neck] (rubs his cheek with its tip)
Vegeta: (choking) Lovely... [yanks it off from around him] (takes a big breath) *WHEW*!!
Chi-Chi: (snaps her fingers) Darnit.
Vegeta: (smirks) Thought it was going to try to murder me, didn't you Onna? (boasts) Well Kakay's tail happens to ADORE me.
Goku's tail: [flies down Veggie's shirt]
Vegeta: (freaks out) AAHHA!! [grabs the tail and pulls it out of his tank top] (calming down/nerves still shot though) Now
the next thing you do is consentrate on your tail and the glands inside it should produce a gas. You can then manipulate
this power to your own free will, unlike your tail itself which seems to--GET OUT OF MY PANTS!!! (shrieks) [pulls out Son's
tail just as it heads into his pants] [slaps the tail silly] (to Goku's tail) YOU SICK LITTLE *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP*!!
Goku's tail: (glowing bright red)
Vegeta: (mutters in shock) Holy cheese I actually think it's enjoying this....well...NO MORE SLAPS FOR YOU! [lets go of it]
(turns to Goku) Now, Kakarrotto-- (freezes in place to see Goku has near-fainted) (worried) Kakarrotto?
Goku: Grabbed...tail...slapped....much pain....OH! (faints)
Vegeta: AHH! KAKAY! [reaches out to grab Son, only to have Chi-Chi get there first]
Chi-Chi: HA! I _KNEW_ you couldn't be trusted! (to Son) (baby-speak) Aww, my poor sweet Go-chan, did that evil Ouji try to
kill you? He did? Well we'll make sure he doesn't get anywhere near you ever again.
Vegeta: (hisses at her)
Goten: Kaasan Kaasan! I want a tail too!
Chi-Chi: (snaps) NO YOU DON'T!
Goten: (sweatdrops)
Gohan: Sometimes I really wonder about my life...
Chuquita: (vaguely paying attention) Hmm, yeah that's nice.
Gohan: (curious) What are you doing?
Chuquita: Watching. [points to Goggie and Vejitto]
Goggie & Veji: 1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a tail war. [both tails snap at each others tip in thumb-war style, trying to pin each
other down]
Gohan: Well it's more interesting than listening to Kaasan screaming the same stuff at Vegeta over-n-over.
Chuquita: SHHH!! (watching the tail-war take place) Goggie's won 3 out of 4. Personally I think he's getting tired and
Vejitto'll win this one.
Gohan: Shall I introduce the next chapter then?
Chuquita: (Goggie's tail seems to have Vejitto's in a headlock) Feel free to do so anytime.
Gohan: (smiles at Goten) Care to join me?
Goten: YEA!!
Gohan: And now we'd like to introduce---
Goten: --PART 4!!!
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!
Vejitto: HA! [his tail pins Goggie's to the desk] I WIN!
Chuquita: (grins) I knew he'd win!
Gogeta: (sweatdrops) Good for the both of you.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*! LITTLE VEGGIE I AM HERE! " Goku shouted as he knocked on the door leading to Vegeta's
room on the ship, " HELLO! LITTLE VEGGIE ARE YOU EVEN IN THERE? "
Vegeta stared at the back of the door in surprise, then sweatdropped when he quickly remembered the larger
saiyajin's ability to teleport, " WHY YES, KAKARROTTO, I AM! " he shouted back, then did a double-take when he realized
Kaka-chan was still out. Vegeta dove at his bed, grabbed the capsule off the counter, pressed the button ontop of it and
threw it at Kaka-chan, causing him to be capsulized back inside lucky number 7 just as Goku turned the doorknob, " *whew*! "
the ouji wiped the sweat off his brow, " THAT would have been difficult to explain. " he smiled dryly at the capsule, then
placed it in the counter's drawer.
" Do not fear little buddy for I have RETURNED! " Goku grinned, bounding into the room. He paused to see the room
the same way he left it with the exception of Vegeta half-sitting half-laying on the floor with one hand on the counter and
the other around a beachball. The ouji had on his own swim-gear mentioned in the last chapter.
Goku walked over to him and smiled with uttermost eagerness. Vegeta's face turned bright red as Goku bent down and
squealed, " BEACHBALL!! "
" WAHH! " Vegeta fell over animé style, his foot twitching. Goku had snatched the beachball out of the ouji's hands
and tossed it up into the air. He took off his hat and started to bounce the beachball on his head as if dribbling a
basketball upside-down.
" Ha ha ha HA ha ha ha ha! " Goku laughed happily. Vegeta just narrowed his eyes.
" Well I didn't see THAT coming. " he grumbled, then stood up, " Say, Kakarrot? "
" Yes little Veggie? " Goku said, still bouncing the ball on his head.
" How would you like to play volleyball with your little buddy using that beachball? " Vegeta offered.
" YAY! " Goku cheered, this time letting the beachball slide off his head and down around his arm until he caught it
in his hand, " VOLLEYBALLING WITH VEGGIE! " he tossed it up into the air, " MY SERVE!! "
" NO KAKARROT WAIT!! " Vegeta shrieked, waving his arms in the air as the ball whizzed by him and bouncing off the
wall behind the ouji. Vegeta looked up at the large beachball-sized dent in the wall just a foot above him, ::If I was only
half a foot taller that thing would've taken my head clear off!!:: he mentally gulped, " Umm, you know what Kakarrotto,
we'll play volleyball, but we'll do that LATER. "
" "LATER"? " Goku frowned.
" Yes, MUCH later. " Vegeta added, brushing some plaster off the top of his head, " I was thinking maybe we could
both get a mudbath and a massage and THEN go play volleyball. "
" A mudbath? " the larger saiyajin blinked, confused.
" It's like going to the pool, only instead of water it's filled with mud. " Vegeta tried to explain, a little
baffled himself.
" But little Veggie I can play in the mud at home. " Goku cocked his head, " We have plenty of puddles there. "
" Are any of those puddles 5ft deep, Kakarrotto? " Vegeta smirked.
" Well, no Veggie, I don't think so. "
" HA! I rest my case. " Vegeta laughed victoriously, then left the room, " Come Kakarrotto, and bring the beachball
with you. "
Goku held onto the beachball tightly and cheered, " YAY!! "
" Whoa, look at all the ships! "
" Don't worry, we'll find the one that Ouji's on. "
" Why am I even still here. "
Gohan, Chi-Chi, and Piccolo were currently flying over several ships in the ocean. Chi-Chi's flight pattern was still
a little jagged and she hadn't learned how to properly land yet but could stear well enough to keep herself from falling into
the water.
" Kaasan there must be at least 30 ships out here! " Gohan exclaimed.
" So, it'll be easy to find that evil little monster. His stench is more than enough of an indicator as to which one
he's on. " Chi-Chi smirked, partly disgusted at the thought.
" Well, I guess if it's going to be THAT EASY I should get going back to Kami's now. " Piccolo formed a fake grin and
turned to blast off.
" HEY! YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE! " Chi-Chi snapped. Piccolo froze in place, frustrated.
" WHY NOT!! " he shouted back.
" BECAUSE YOU WERE WITH ME WHEN GOKU LEFT! THAT'S WHY!! "
" That's not a very good reason. " Piccolo muttered, sweatdropping.
" Umm, Kaasan, you know, I WASN'T here when that happened so maybe I should get back to-- " Gohan trailed off,
wanting to go back home almost as bad as Piccolo did.
" --NO WAY! I NEED YOU! " Chi-Chi snapped again, then went into an overdramatic sob, " If a mother can't depend on
her OWN SON who she went through 8 HOURS of labor to bring into EXISTANCE, than who CAN she depend on! "
Gohan floated there, now riddled with guilt, " Ohhhhhhhh... "
" Ouch. " Piccolo mumbled to himself.
" Now let's find that ship! FOLLOW ME MEN!! " Chi-Chi ordered the duo as if she was a drill sergeant. Gohan and
Piccolo sweatdropped and flew down after her.
" So, do you think the actual ship is even in this ocean? " Piccolo quietly asked Gohan, trying to keep Chi-Chi from
going into another raging fit.
" What do you mean, Piccolo-san? It HAS to be here! " Gohan whispered back.
" Yeah, but you know Vegeta by now. "
" Sadly we all do. " Gohan grimaced, sickened. Piccolo's expression mirrored his, " I'm pretty sure they're both here
though. They probably just lowered their ki. " Gohan glanced around the ocean.
" Or they're too far away for us to detect them. " Piccolo pointed out, " The way shorty operates he's probably got
Son in some fancy European hotel room right now and trying to coax him into doing....well you know, the thing your Kaasan
gave Goku the pepper spray to save him from. "
" ...oh. " Gohan's face turned a pale green. He suddenly perked up as he froze in flight. Piccolo shortly stopped
flying afterwards, followed by Chi-Chi.
" What is it Gohan? " Chi-Chi asked, surprised. Gohan flew downwards until he was infront of a large flag with a
symbol on it he had only seen in one other place before.
" Kaasan, I think you should come here. "
She floated towards him, " Have you found that Ouji's ship? Is this it? " he said eagerly.
Gohan pointed to the flag, " That's the same symbol on Vegeta's bedroom door. It even LOOKS kinda like him. "
Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at the flag's symbol, which looked almost like a stick-figure version of the ouji with the
exception of legs.
" Well? " Gohan asked, curious.
" This is it. " Chi-Chi said, dead-serious.
Piccolo sweatdropped as he floated by the side of the ship which read SSJ Bejito-sei, " _I_ could have told you
THAT. "
" Now COME ON, Gohan! Let's go POUND THAT OUJI! " Chi-Chi laughed maniacally, zooming down and landing on the deck.
Gohan sweatdropped.
" Whoopee. "
" So, this is the ship, huh? " Chi-Chi said as the trio stood on the deck. She overlooked where they were, her mind
deep in plotting, " It's large, but I'm confident we can find them if we split up. I'll look in the main cabins; Piccolo, I
want you to check every area private area, I'm talking Captain's quarters, the engine room, any spot that isn't available to
the coming and going public; Gohan, you're going to check all the outside areas which means the deck, the overhangs, even the
windows around the sides of the ship. Now GO! " she ordered, than dashed into the main hall of the ship. Gohan and Piccolo
glanced at each other and shrugged. Gohan walked off towards the back of the ship and Piccolo just stood there and sighed,
wondering how he had ever gotten himself into this mess.
A word popped into his mind, " Dende. " he said outloud, glaring ahead.
:::" --you blow up something with that, and I know that's what you're plotting to do, I'll lock you in the Room of
Time and Space and never let you out! " Dende threatened.
Piccolo snickered, " Yeah, sure you will. ":::
It hit Piccolo like a sack of bricks, " He's punishing me. That little brat is punishing me! " he let out a
mock-laugh, " I can't believe this! " he smacked himself on the forehead. He glanced over to his right, then paused to see a
sign that read "Private Area: Captain and Crew Members Only". Piccolo turned his head upward and laughed in Dende's direction
, " HA!! TAKE THAT! " he flung open the door to reveal a brand-new, never-been-used-or-touched-by-human-hands inground pool.
His jaw dropped to the floor, " Wow...that's a lot of water. " the namek walked over to the pool and looked it over
suspicously. He dipped his finger into the water and then placed it in his mouth to taste it. Piccolo did a double-take,
" This isn't pool water! It's not even tap water! It's fancy IMPORTED stuff! " he grinned, then took another taste, " Dasani
even. " Piccolo said, impressed, " Untouched by Earthling bodies, and not a single person in sight...cool. " he smirked,
then pulled out a large object, " Good thing I brought a straw. "
" Ahhh, OH VEGGIE this feels so GREAT! " Goku stretched happily. The two saiyajins were now sitting in a large
mud-bath.
" Heh. I'm glad you're enjoying it Kakarrotto-chan. " Vegeta smirked, a slight red glow escaping onto his face. The
ouji thought for a moment, then snickered and slowly began to raise his foot from beneath the mud up towards them, " Oh no!
Kakay, what's that! " he fake-gasped suddenly.
" What's what? " Goku said, slightly worried.
" Look! LOOK! THAT THERE! IT'S A GIANT PACIFIC SNAPPING BUG!!; they live out here over the ocean you know; AND IT'S
HEADING FOR YOU!! " Vegeta exclaimed, pretending to freak out, " IT'S GOING TO STING YOU WITH IT'S HUGE NEEDLE-LIKE
APPENDAGE!"
" AHHH! " Goku shrieked at the unrecognizable figure emerging from the mud, " VEGGIE DON'T LET IT STING ME!! " he
yelped, clinging onto the ouji. Vegeta's face glowed bright red, along with the rest of his body. A big satisfied grin on his
face from the fact that 'Kakarrotto' was now clinging and cowering beside him for protection. Vegeta checked to make sure the
larger saiyajin's eyes were still squinted shut, then sent a small ki blast at the tip of his risen foot, which kicked the
blast up into the air and through the ceiling.
" What was that? Is the needle-like append-dagey gone yet? " Goku opened one eye. Vegeta quickly sank his foot before
Goku could see it.
" Uhh, yeah. I, uhh, I killed it. " Vegeta sputtered, then boasted proudly, " It was a simple task, really. But I
feel as your prince and ruler that it is my job to protect my one and only peasant from harm. " he nodded. Goku sighed with
relief.
" Oh THANK YOU Veggie. " Goku said, loosening his grip.
" Just because I destoryed it don't think that you can't cling to my arm like this, after all it is the least you
could do being I just SAVED YOUR LIFE and all. " Vegeta added.
" What is the MOST I could do little Veggie? " Goku asked curiously.
Vegeta paused for a moment, then grinned evilly, " WELL, Kakay, if you REALLY wanna know... "
" AHH! " Chi-Chi shrieked as she faced the main hallway. Her jaw hanging wide open at the seemingly endless wall-ful
of doors, " This is INSANE!! " she gawked, " LOOK AT THEM ALL! What would that Ouji need with ALL THESE DOORS! " Chi-Chi
said outloud, then sweatdropped as several frightening images flashed through her mind, " Ohhhhhh! GO-CHAN! " she grabbed one
of the doorknobs, " URG! It's locked! " Chi-Chi pulled harder, " Come on you!! " she grunted, only to yelp in surprise when
she ripped the doorknob off the handle. Chi-Chi blinked and stood up, confused, " Hey, this thing doesn't turn, in fact, it's
GLUED ON! " Chi-Chi gawked at the doorknob, " IT'S NOT A REAL DOOR AT ALL! THERE'S NO ROOM IN THERE! IT'S JUST GLUED ONTO THE
WALL!!! " she shrieked.
" ... "
" ... "
" Ingenious. " Chi-Chi marveled, " Or bizzare. " she grabbed another doorknob to find the same result. Chi-Chi
wandered down the hallway, growing more impatient, " ONE of these stupid doors has to work! " she said, kicking the closest
one to her and causing it to swing wide-open. She grinned, " AH-HA! " Chi-Chi ran inside the dark room only to come to
another door with a trail of light beneath the crack, " This is it! I just KNOW it! " she said triumpantly, then swung it
open to reveal--the main hallway she had entered in the first place. Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " HOW CAN THIS BE!! " she narrowed
her eyes, " You have a twisted little mind, Ouji. " she grumbled, then thought for a moment and threw a quarter across the
hallway into the open door only to yelp when the same quarter smacked her in the back of the head, " How does he DO that! "
she groaned, " And where's Piccolo when I need him! "
" *slurp* *slurp* *slurp*. Ahhh, that was some quality H2O. " Piccolo said, the happy feeling of having a full belly
echoed throughout his body, " In fact, I don't think I've ever had that good of a water in that amount before. *urp*. Feels
good. " he smiled, then started to get up, only to freeze when he realized he wasn't able to. Piccolo glanced over his
shoulder and freaked out to see he was now bloated to 10 times fat Buu's size, " WAHH!! " he looked upward angrily, " CURSE
YOU DENDE!! "
" That's odd, I don't sense Toussan OR Vegeta anywhere. " Gohan scratched his head, confused. He noticed a nearby,
empty deck chair and sat down, " I bet Vegeta's got some kind of high-tech super-developed ki shield or something to keep us
from finding out where they are.... " he paused, then slapped himself on the forehead, " Oh God, I'm starting to sound like
my mother!! " Gohan groaned.
" Pina colada, sir? "
Gohan looked up to see one of the deck-hands holding a plate of fancy-looking drinks. He smiled, " Gee, thanks! " he
took one of the cups and sipped from it, " Hey, this is pretty good. "
The man held his hand out, " That'll be 700 dollars please. "
Gohan spat the drink out in disbelief, " WHAT?! 700 DOLLARS! I DON'T HAVE 700 DOLLARS!! "
Gohan grumbled as he stood in the ship's kitchen, washing dishes, " Me and my big mouth... "
" Oh Kakay that feels GLORIOUS! " Vegeta grinned with joy as he sat in the mud-bath, Goku rubbing the ouji's
shoulders.
" Veggie's happy then? " Goku asked eagerly.
" Oh yes, Veggie is very VERY happy and feeling almost pleased in fact Veggie would like it if Kakay were to do this
on a regular basis. " Vegeta snickered.
" You mean come on boat-trips with you? " the larger saiyajin blinked.
" NO! I mean this, the rubbing... " he paused to let out several giggles, then resumed his regular tone of voice, " I
find it quite soothing you know. "
Goku grinned, " That's because I have "warm, soothing hands." Heeheeheeheehee! " the saiyajin giggled.
" I should've known better than to try to get away from you Kakarrotto. Terrible move on my part. " Vegeta nodded,
" I should have brought you--AHHHHHhhhhHHhhh---with me from the beginning. " the ouji wiggled a bit from the pleasant feeling
of being rubbed down the back.
" But, weren't you trying to get AWAY from me in the beginning? " Goku said, confused.
" Mmmmmmm.... "
" Veggie? "
" Mmmmmmm.... "
" VEGGIE! "
" Mmm? " the smaller saiyajin looked over his shoulder with a big sappy smile on his face, " Kah-keeee? "
Goku sweatdropped, " I said, 'weren't you trying to get AWAY from me in the beginning'??? "
" Yes, Kakarrotto, I believe I was. " Vegeta shook his head, trying to clear it out, " Rub my tail, will you? "
" Huh? Oh, sure Veggie. " Goku reached down into the mud in search of the ouji's tail while Vegeta began to explain.
" You see Kakarrotto, at first I thought I needed to get away from you in order to relax enough to free my mind, you
know, strengthen it so that I can create even better plots to achieve what I so desire, but I have realized that it's not YOU
I needed to get away from. It was ONNA. "
" Chi-Chi? " Goku blinked, surprised.
" Yes! Why do you think all my previous evil plo--err, "exploits" have failed? YOU didn't do anything! It was ONNA!
That's why you thought I wrote that I hated you in that letter that was really just a large bundle of Kaka-directed-mush! It
had nothing to do with what I wrote, it FAILED because ONNA threw the letter away! It FAILED because she lied to you about
the letter's true contents. It has nothing to do with you or I! It's all HER FAULT! "
" We can't just get RID of Chi-Chi, little Veggie. Besides, I love her. "
" *fake-gasp* Does that mean you don't love ME? "
" AHH! NO VEGGIE NO! I LOVE YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH!! " Goku squeezed the ouji from behind, hugging on for dear life,
" You love me, right? "
" Kakarrotto you have no idea... " Vegeta murmured while glowing bright red.
" Back to the hunt! " Goku chirped, letting go and dunking his hands back into mud in search of the ouji's tail.
" My God! Kakarrotto! If I could get you alone somewhere long enough I'm SURE I could convince you that living with
Onna is nothing but a pointless waste of your Kaka-time. " the ouji nodded, then smirked, " And then we would build a giant,
beauitful satellite and travel across the universe in it! " he mused, " I know this one planet just outside the milky way
which serves the greatest desserts I've ever--HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF BOVINE!! " Vegeta shrieked.
" Veggie I found it! " Goku grinned in victory.
A look of pure shock and humiliation covered the ouji's face, " Kakarrotto...that's NOT my tail... "
" ...ohhh. " Goku turned a bright red color and quickly let go.
" THIS IS! " Vegeta let loose the mud-covered tail, which wrapped around Goku's neck and dunked him under the mud,
then pulled him back up and slapped him several times, " WILL YOU WATCH WHERE YOU'RE PUTTING YOUR BIG KAKA-HANDS!!! " he
shouted as his tail slapped Goku continuously. Vegeta let go, " NOW GO WASH YOUR HANDS!! "
" But Veggie I don't get it I was just rubbing you all over 5 minutes ago-- " Goku said, puzzled.
" YOU AIN'T RUBBING NOWHERE WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE, BAKAYARO!! " Vegeta snapped, then shivered in disgust while
Goku got up and went to wash his hands.
" Sorry Veggie, I didn't mean to. " Goku apologized while washing his hands in the sink, " I couldn't see through the
mud, and besides, what's the point getting mad about it when you're already covered in mud and yucky stuff anyway? "
" ...hey, you're right. " Vegeta blinked, then snapped, " BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT!! YOU'RE LUCKY I'M WEARING MY POOL
SHORTS!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE PUNISHMENT FOR MINDLESSLY VIOLATING YOUR PRINCE IS ON PLANET BEJITO-SEI!!! BEHEADING! DID YOU
HEAR THAT KAKARROT! BEHEADING AS IN CHOPING YOUR EMPTY-HEADED, err, HEAD! " Vegeta angrily rambled on while Goku took a
nearby towel to dry his wet hands, then walked over to the mud-bath again.
" Do you, WANT to behead me, Veggie? " Goku asked innocently, bending over as if giving his head enough leeway to
plop into the mud-bath if sliced off.
" What?! " Vegeta gawked, doing a double-take.
" That's right. I accidentally grabbed something thinking it was your tail but was in reality not the correct body
part I was searching for, so go ahead, chop my noggin off. "
" Uh.....I... " Vegeta trailed off, " OH HECK WITH THAT STUPID LAW MY FATHER MADE IT UP ANYWAYS and besides you're
already forgiven. "
Goku grinned and hopped back in next to him, " Aww Veggie, I knew that already! "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " WHAT!!! "
" It's not that you COULDN'T 'behead' me if I gave you the chance but that you don't WANT to. " he patted the ouji
on the head, " You love me too much! "
Vegeta just angrily grumbled under his breath in reply.
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! " a
frightened voice screamed from a nearby room.
" Little Veggie what was that? " Goku yelped.
" Sounded like Onna. " Vegeta blinked, then snickered at the thought, " She must've released the poison darts in room
327. "
" Chi-chan's here? " Goku said, surprised.
" Probably came to 'rescue' you from my 'clutches'. " Vegeta shrugged it off, " She'll go off the deep end before she
finds us though. "
" But Veggie why would Chi-chan come all the way here. I TOLD her where I was going AND that you were gonna take very
good care of me--which I might add you are doing a wonderful job of. " Goku gave Vegeta a quick hug.
" Yes, well, you see Kakarrotto, Onna doesn't blindly trust me the way you do. " Vegeta explained, then watched a
little light blink on the wall, " Oop, she just released the giant crocodiles. That'll be trouble for her. " he smirked.
Goku sweatdropped, " If I was her I wouldn't trust you either. "
" URG! BACK! BACK I SAY!! " Chi-Chi smacked the last remaining crocodile with a Goku's nyoi-bô; I.E. the power pole.
The crocodile slumped to the ground, " Stupid thing! " she huffed, looking slightly battle-torn, which was only logical being
that she had just fought back 30 of the scaly monsters in a hallway that wasn't any more than 3 feet wide.
" *whew*! " Chi-Chi let out a heavy sigh, then narrowed her eyes, " Oh how I HATE YOU, Ouji. " she glared, then
paused and shouted out, " GO-CHAN! GO-CHAN CAN YOU HEAR ME! WHERE _ARE_ YOU!!! "
" MMPH MMPH!! " a voice shouted from behind a nearby door. Chi-Chi cautiously stepped towards it, then kicked the
door open only to reveal a bloated Piccolo who now took up the entire room he was in. He waved cheesily at her. Chi-Chi
sweatdropped and slammed the door in his face.
" So much for sidekicks. " she grumbled, then continued down the hall.
Piccolo glared at the door, " GOHAN WOULD'VE HELPED ME! GOKU WOULD'VE HELPED ME! EVEN GOTEN WOULD'VE HELPED ME! BUT
YOU, NOOOOoooOOOOOooo, ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS "KILLING THE OUJI". WELL YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE IF YOU DON'T HELP ME OUT OF HERE
SOON.....or later...eh, forget it. "
" This is so STUPID! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, still wandering about the endless hallways and levels of the ship,
" Whoever designed the inside of this boat must be related to that ouji because it makes no sense! "
" WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! " an ecstatic voice hooted from behind door 386. Chi-Chi recognized it
immediately and leaned her ear against the door.
" Go-chan is that you? "
" HEEHEEHEE!! " another voice let out a swarm of content giggles.
Chi-Chi muttered dryly, " Ouji. " she let loose her foot, kicking the door wide open. Chi-Chi's jaw dropped to the
floor at the sight before her. There was Goku and Vegeta sittin in a mud-bath, the ouji waving at her with a cucumber slice
covering each of his eyes. Goku had one over his left eye and another one slapped on his forehead. There was the single
flower sitting on the front right side of the larger saiyajin's hair.
" Hiya Chi-chan! Me-n-Veggie are taking a mud-bath! Care to join us? "
" ...AHHH!! " Chi-Chi screamed at the top of her lungs, " GOKU! HERE I THINK YOU'RE IN SERIOUS DANGER AND WHERE DO I
FIND YOU! IN SOME KIND OF PAMPER PALACE PLAYING BATH-TIME BUDDY TO THAT OUJI!! "
" *SPLAT*! "
Chi-Chi sweatdropped as a huge blob of mud slid down her face. She cringed, then wiped her eyes and turned in the
source of the chucked wad of mud who grinned at her beneath the two cucumber slices over his eyes. Goku stared at Vegeta, who
had another ball of the substance in his other hand, then stared at Chi-Chi. The large saiyajin let out a giggle, then
another, and within seconds was pointing and laughing at Chi-Chi's current condition, enjoying himself.
" Which probably could be considered as "dangerous". " Chi-Chi grumbled, folding her arms.
" Heeheeheeheehee! " both saiyajins giggled with one another, further enraging her. Chi-Chi pulled out her bazooka
and aimed it at the side of the ouji's head.
" Heeheeheeheehaha! " Vegeta laughed.
" *click*click*! "
He froze, his eyes bulged wide causing the two cucumber slices to fall off them and into the 'pond'. Vegeta turned to
his side and chuckled nervously at Chi-Chi, " Heh-heh,....hi. "
" Uh heh-heh-heh. " Chi-Chi said mockingly, then smirked, " Prepare to die. "
" NO CHI-CHAN NO!! " Goku shrieked wildy, dashing between her bazooka and Vegeta, " DON'T YOU DARE LAY A FINGER ON MY
LITTLE VEGGIE!! "
" Heh-heh, YOUR "little Veggie", Kakay-chan? " Vegeta glowed bright red, chuckling in a slightly embarassed manner.
" I'm not GOING to lay a FINGER on him, Goku, JUST THIS MISSILE! " she pressed a button on the bazooka, causing two
more missile-holders to appear on the top of either side of it, making the bazooka look, at least from Vegeta's point of view
, like the outline of a mickey mouse pancake.
" DON'T YOU BLAST MY VEGGIE, CHI-CHAN!! " Goku shouted, frightened for the ouji's safety. He sniffled, putting a hand
on the smaller saiyajin's farthest shoulder from him, " Veggie can't help it if he's a little nuts. Veggie likes to get
pampered and he likes to have me there getting pampered with him. That's just who he is and I don't think it's right to hurt
him just because he's a lil wacky in the head. " he hugged the ouji tightly.
" HEY! WHO ARE YOU CALLING WACKY?! " Vegeta exclaimed, offended. Goku bopped him on the head.
" SHUSH! I'm trying to keep you from getting MURDERED here! " Goku whispered loudly.
" Sorry Kakay. " the ouji said, embarassed, then smirked at Chi-Chi, " Here that Onna, _I_ actually APOLOGIZE to my
little Kaka-muffin when I know I have wronged him. "
" Why you-- " Chi-Chi snarled angrily, grabbing for her bazooka again. Goku quickly slapped his hand over Vegeta's
mouth to keep him from saying anything else.
" Little Veggie go play over there. " Goku whispered cautiously, motioning the smaller saiyajin to move to the other
side of the mud-bath.
" What? Why! I'm not your little baby! You can't just shove me over to the side because the "grownups" are going to
talk now. " Vegeta whispered back, annoyed.
" No Veggie that's not it. I just don't want you to get hurt. " Goku shook his head.
" You're, you're WORRIED about me, aren't you! " Vegeta said w/big sparkily eyes, touched, " Aww, Kah-kiiii!!! "
Goku noddded.
" Don't worry about me! I can take care of myself! " the ouji snapped, then paddled across to the other side of the
pool as Goku had ordered. The large saiyajin sweatdropped.
" Sometimes I wonder about you Veggie... " he trailed off.
" You WONDER about me? " the ouji sighed, the big sparkily eyes back on his face.
Goku almost fell over, " GAH!! " he rubbed his head, " Why do I even bother with him! " he turned to Chi-Chi, " Hey
Chi-chan, why don't you forget about that mean 'ol bazooka and come take a nice messy mud-bath with me-n-Veggie? "
" ARE YOU CRAZY!!! " Chi-Chi shrieked, " YOU COULDN'T GET ME IN THAT BIG MUD-PUDDLE IF YOU TRIED!! "
" Aww, come on, it's mudd-eee. " Goku said in a sing-song voice, splashing around a bit.
" NO! "
" It's goo-eee. "
" NO! "
" It's soooooothing. " Goku winked at her.
" ... "
" Well? "
" OH-KAY! "
Goku cheered, " YAY! "
" Say Kakarrotto, " Vegeta said as they floated about in the mud, " Whatever happened to the "wicked witch of the
west"??? "
" Oh, she melted. " Goku responded cheerfully.
" ...what? "
" She melted. Remember, when Dorothy threw that bucket of water on her and she...melted. " Goku stopped when he
noticed the you-have-no-idea-what-I'm-talking-about-do-you? look on Vegeta's face.
" I meant Onna. "
" OH!! " Goku said, enlightened, " She went to go get changed. Chi-chan's gonna play in the mud with us. "
" WHAT?! " Vegeta panicked, " YOU CAN'T LET HER IN HERE SHE'LL MURDERLIZE ME! AND STEAL YOU! THE BAZOOKA
REMEMBER!!! "
" Chi-chan's not gonna hurt you little Veggie 'o mine. _I_ will take care of that. " Goku said as if talking to a
small child, picking up the ouji and hugging him tightly, " And if she does I promise I'll stop her before you get
seriously injured. "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " Oh THAT'S reassuring. " he said dryly.
Goku grinned and set Vegeta down, " Yes it is! "
" Oh Ou-jiii! " a sing-song voice came from behind the duo. Vegeta froze, then glanced over his shoulder to see
Chi-Chi smirking evilly at him; now in her bathing suit, a pair of goggles, and with a very LARGE water gun on her
shoulder, " Who ya gonna call! "
" Uhhhh... " Vegeta babbled off as he stared at the size of the squirt gun. He laughed nervously, " ...ghost....
....busters? "
Chi-Chi adjusted the trigger, " *click*click*! WRONG! " she pulled the water gun's trigger, sending out a strong
gust of water in Vegeta's direction, completely drenching the ouji. Chi-Chi laughed at him, then grinned victoriously.
Vegeta angrily stood there as the water trickled down his face and into the mud, lightening it. The short ouji's hair
was no longer standing on end and instead was; due to the weight the water added to his hair, obeying the natural
forces of gravity and falling down slightly past his shoulders. He glared at Chi-Chi, then formed a mud-ball in his
hands and snickered in her direction. Chi-Chi backed up uneasily, then yelped as Vegeta began to pelt dozens of
mud-balls at her. Chi-Chi ran off to the other side of the mud-bath, screaming. Vegeta laughed maniacally and raced
after her.
Goku watched from a distance as his two companions angrily pelted each other with mud-balls in some kind of mini-war.
Then stood silently as the duo returned to where he was standing, both completely covered in such thick mud that if it
weren't for their height and eyes he couldn't tell them apart.
" Heehee, heeheehee. " Goku giggled.
" ... "
" What? It's funny. Heehee, little Veggie said he wanted to get dirty, but not like this! HAHAHA-- " Goku paused when
both Vegeta and Chi-Chi raised a mud ball in each of their hands, " --uh oh. " he sweatdropped, then shrieked and dashed off
as they began chucking mud at him. The large saiyajin tripped and fell, causing a mountain of mud-formed blobs to smack
overtop of his head.
Goku blinked as he heard a couple snickers and rubbed the mud off his eyes to see Vegeta and Chi-Chi standing infront
of him with smug looks on their faces. The bigger saiyajin sniffled. Vegeta's eyes flung wide open at the small sound to see
Goku's eyes were now filled to the brim with tears.
" Kakay? " he said cautiously.
" WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! " Goku wailed. Vegeta and Chi-Chi looked at each other, guilt ridden.
Vegeta walked forward, " Kakay, Kakay don't cry, _I_ didn't mean to throw those at you. " he reached out to hug his
large, crying peasant. Goku's sobbing quieted down to sniffles, " It'll be alright, Kakay. Your little Veggie's here now and
he's gonna make everything all better again. " the ouji said in a comforting tone of voice.
" YAH! " Chi-Chi kicked Vegeta aside, causing him to fall into the mud. Vegeta groaned, then shook his head and sat
up to find Chi-Chi patting Goku's muddy hand. The ouji growled at the scene, " Aww Go-chan, I'm sorry about that I just got
caught up in the moment that's all. " Chi-Chi said, trying to calm him down, " You understand, right? "
" Errrrr--RAAAHHHH!!! " Goku screamed, flashing into ssj. The energy causing Chi-Chi to loose her balance and fall
flat on her but. She scrambled to her feet.
" Uhhh. " Chi-Chi blinked as the larger saiyajin glared at the both of them.
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! " he screamed again, going up to ssj2. Vegeta yelped and lept into Chi-Chi's arms,
then grinned cheesily at her. She growled and dropped the ouji into the mud.
" *HACK*! " Vegeta spat out a mouth-ful of mud, " Well THAT was uncalled for. " he grumbled.
Meanwhile Goku still stood infront of them with an angry look on his face, " Grrr... "
" *fwooshie* *fwooshie* *fwooshie* " his ssj aura made a loud fwooshing noise.
" Grrrrrrrr... "
" *fwooshie* *fwooshie* *fwooshie* " Vegeta picked up a glop of mud and formed it into the size of a large snowball.
" ...rrrrrrr "
" *fwooshie* *fwooshie* *fwooshie* "
" *SPLAT*! " Vegeta chucked the mudball at Goku's face, causing the aura to disappear. Goku sweatdropped and Chi-Chi
turned to the ouji and yelled.
" HEY! " she glared, " WHAT WAS THAT FOR! "
" *sniffle* " Goku sniffled, " Veggie, *sniff* I, *sniffle* have something for you. "
Vegeta grinned evilly, " ReeaaaAAALLLY, Kaka-chan? "
Goku nodded solumnly, then pulled something out from behind his back and chucked a mudball at their faces,
" Heeheehee! " he giggled at the priceless look of shock on Vegeta and Chi-Chi's faces.
" Why thank you Kakarrotto. " Vegeta smirked, a preparing-for-battle look on the two saiyajins faces.
" You are welcome little Veggie. " Goku turned around and dipped his hands into the mud, " Would you care for
another? "
" Heh. " Vegeta turned his own back on Goku and the saiyajins instantly got to work wildly scooping mud out of the
pool and into two huge blobs infront of them. Chi-Chi watched in horror as they lifted their mud blobs up above their heads
and ki-blasted them into the air. Gravity soon took its course and the now one huge blob spiraled down towards the trio.
Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" Uh-oh. "
" *Beeeeeeeeeee--* " the sound of imminent doom from a giant falling mud-ball in the sky continued to sound
throughout the room. Goku had since powered back down from ssj2 and along with Vegeta and Chi-Chi was currently staring
upward in amazement.
" Is it even going to come down? " he asked curiously.
" SHHH! " Vegeta shhed him.
Goku giggled at the ouji, then ticked him around the sides of his neck, " Shhshhshhshhshh! " Goku said mockingly,
then burst into giggles again. Vegeta grinned, glowing bright red.
" DON'T YOU TICKLE HIM! " Chi-Chi snapped. Goku pouted and drew his fingers back away.
" Sorry Chi-chan. " he said quietly, folding his arms. Goku spoke up again a second later, " I didn't mean to, it's
just that I was rubbin Veggie for so long earlier I think I formed a habit. "
" Well UNform it! " she said, disgusted. Chi-Chi glared at the ouji.
" Heh. " Vegeta smirked, then walked infront of Goku, " You can continue where you left off, Kaka-chan. "
" Uhhhhhhh.... "
" Don't be shy, I don't mind getting a Kaka-rubdown from your nice warm sooooOOOooothing hands. " Vegeta blushed
lightly. Chi-Chi snarled at him.
" uhhhhhhh.... "
" Kakay? " Vegeta looked over at him to find Goku was staring upwards, " Kakay are you oh--AHH!! "
" *SPLAT*! " the giant mound of mud came crashing down upon them. Chi-Chi, Goku, and Vegeta poked their heads out of
the top of the mound, all gasping for air.
" THAT WAS FUN! " Goku hooted. Their heads only visible.
" Kakarrotto, *hack*, " Vegeta spat out some mud, " You are a MORON! "
" HEEEEEeeee.. " Goku grinned widely.
" Hey Ou-jiii. " Chi-Chi said in a sing-song voice, grabbing Vegeta's attention. She leaned over and gave Goku a kiss
on the cheek.
" Heeheeheehee! " the large saiyajin giggled with embarassment. A look of dark vengence covered Vegeta's face as he
snarled at her. Chi-Chi laughed, inbetween the two saiyajins.
" Just a little reminder of who the OWNER of the person with the warm soothing hands is. " she smirked.
" Yes. And that would be ME. " Vegeta snorted, " YOU are nothing more than an evil Earth witch who tricked my Kakay
into marrying her even when he didn't love her in the first place!!! "
" *GASP*! THERE WAS TOO LOVE! " Chi-Chi snapped.
" Uhh, Chi-chan? " Goku gulped.
" NOT NOW GOKU! " she turned back to Vegeta, " THERE WAS PLENTY OF LOVE, OUJI! "
" HA! " Vegeta laughed, " emphasis on "was". "
" ERRRRRrr... " Chi-Chi growled.
" Kakay only "loves" you because you cook him fancy-smancy meals all the time. If it wasn't for his belly he'd
already be spoon-feeding me french-vanilla pudding on a yacht somewhere. " Vegeta boasted.
" Uhh, little Veggie? " Goku squeaked out.
" In your DREAMS, Ouji. Or rather in my nightmares. " Chi-Chi stuck her tongue out, sickened at the thought.
" GUYS!!! " Goku shouted in panic.
" WHAT! " they both yelled at once, then yelped as three wads of mud slammed onto their faces. Goku wiped the
fresh mud off his face.
" I TRIED to warn you. " he said stubbornly.
" MUH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! " a voice laughed maniacally from below them.
Goku gasped, " Hey! I recognize that maniacal laugh--it's PICCY! " he looked down to see Piccolo standing at the
edge of pool spinning a fairly large size wad of mud on the tip of his finger as if it were a basketball.
" But I left him back in that room in the hall bloated with water!!! " Chi-Chi said, astonished.
" Hmmph. " Piccolo smirked, " Namekians absorb water the same way plants do. Since I drank more than I really
needed it just took my body a while to absorb it into my bloodstream. "
" But how did you get here? The hallway's a labyrinth! It would practically take DAYS to get there if you hadn't
overheard the conversation going on between Goku and the Ouji here! " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes, suspicious.
" Isn't it obvious, Onna? " Vegeta shook his head, " Once the namek felt Kakarrotto's ki leap when he entered his
ssj2 form it was probably pretty easy to find out what direction we were in. "
" Point for Vegeta. That was pretty smart thinking for someone who's trapped himself up to his neck in spa mud. "
Piccolo snickered. Vegeta glared at him and pulled a wad of mud out with his hand.
" You're not calling my little Veggie stupid, are you Piccolo? " Goku narrowed his eyes, also forming a ball of
mud in his own hand.
" And that doesn't happen to insinuate that all three of us are 'stupid' for being stuck in here, DOES IT,
Piccolo? " Chi-Chi formed a ball of mud in both her hands. Piccolo gulped and laughed nervously.
" Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh, what was I saying again? "
Chi-Chi smirked, " Take a wild guess. " she lept out of the mountain of mud and hurtled the balls down at Piccolo,
who quickly dashed off only to have Goku teleport infront of him with two handfuls of his own mud and prepared to throw
them at the namek. Piccolo skillfully dodged him as well only to hear a familiar little snicker behind him. He turned
around and sweatdropped to see Vegeta standing there holding a mud-ball that was at least 10 times his own bodyweight.
" Heh-heh. " Piccolo let out a nervous laugh, " Hi... "
" *SPLAT* *BOOM* *POW* *SPLASH*!! "
The girl standing behind the counter looked up from the book she was reading. She cocked an eyebrow at the door
leading to the mud-pool room behind her, " What the? " she blinked, then turned back to her book only to sweatdrop as the
entire door exploded and she soon found her back covered in a thick layer of mud. The girl tensely placed her book on the
desk and marched into the room only to gawk at the scene before her.
Chi-Chi and Piccolo had each formed swords with the mud and were attacking each other medieval-style. Each had also
formed a shield out of mud and was protecting themselves with their spare hands. Meanwhile Goku and Vegeta were busy
mud-wrestling each other on the ground, turning over and over until they both smacked their sides into the wall. The two
saiyajins paused, stared at the wall, and then turned back the other way, now not only wrestling but also trying to strangle
each other. Piccolo purposely tripped to send himself sliding past Chi-Chi and across the room. He stuck his arms out as he
slid, causing him to accumulate what looked like gigantic boxing-gloves on each of his hands. Piccolo swung one of the huge
mud-gloves out, snatching Chi-Chi up in one and the two saiyajins up in the other. He then thrust his arms forward, causing
the mud piles to unlatch themselves from his wrists and hurtle, along with Goku, Chi-Chi, and Vegeta into the wall. Piccolo
laughed victoriously.
" HAHAHA! I AM THE MUDBALL KING! "
" OUT!! "
The quartet froze, then simultaneously turned towards the infuriated girl in the doorway, all with the same look of
utter confusion on their faces. The girl sweatdropped.
" Hey Veggie look! It's that same lady from the counter who let me get into the swimming pool area because I told her
my name was Son Goku instead of Kakarrotto! " Goku said happily, breaking the silence.
" WHO DO YOU PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE!! " she yelled angrily.
" Well, I am Son Goku, and over here is my little Veggie, and the one with the big glob of mud in her hair is
Chi-chan, and the really really tall one with the pointy ears is my former little buddy, Piccy. " Goku grinned widely. The
others sweatdropped.
" Morons. " the girl rolled her eyes, then shouted at them, " I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! YOU COME IN HERE AND DESTORY THE
ENTIRE ROOM! YOU TWO AREN'T EVEN PAYING CUSTOMERS!! " she pointed at Piccolo and Chi-Chi.
" Confidentially, I didn't ask to be here. " Piccolo muttered to her.
" I DON'T NEED TO PAY! " Chi-Chi snarled, " I'M HERE TO PROTECT MY GO-CHAN FROM THE MENACE WHICH IS THAT SICK, SHORT
LITTLE CREATURE BESIDE HIM! " she glared at Vegeta, who just snickered in response and gave Goku a gloppy, muddy hug from
behind just to egg her on.
" Mmm, so very comfortable. " Vegeta said, then smirked in Chi-Chi's direction, " Kakay's so soft, and warm, and
forbidden-- "
" ERRUGH! " Chi-Chi chucked a mudball at the ouji, hitting him in the face. Vegeta flinched as he shook the mud off
his eyes.
" SEE! THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! " the girl exclaimed, " YOU CAN'T JUST GO AROUND THROWING MUD AT EACH
OTHER! IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE POOL NOT USED AS AMMO FOR YOUR TARGET PRACTICE!! WHAT WERE YOU ALL THINKING!! "
Goku spoke up, " Umm, "mud works well when building a fort"? "
" WRONG! "
" I'm sorry I got you kicked off the cruise little Veggie. " Goku said sadly as the group drove home, now all back in
their regular clothes. Piccolo was in the drivers seat, Chi-Chi in the front passengers, and the two saiyajins were in the
back; Goku on the left and Vegeta on the right.
" Eh, forget about it Kakarrotto. " Vegeta shrugged nonchalantly.
" Really Veggie? " Goku squeaked out.
" Yeah, sure. " the ouji smiled.
" OH VEGGIE! " the larger saiyajin squealed, grabbing Vegeta into a big hug, " You're so sweet! "
" Heh-heh-heh...I'm sweeeeet. " Vegeta's face glowed bright red. The ouji let out several giggles, then pulled
himself out of the embrace. Vegeta shook his head, causing the redness to disappear, " Kakarrotto, the way I've got it
figured, if I were to relax too often I'd get lazy and fat, not to mention how far I would fall behind you in strength.
Besides, there's no way I can escape you anyway-- " he paused and sweatdropped to see the larger saiyajin now happily
massaging the ouji's shoulders, " --you care about me too much. " Vegeta finished dryly.
Chi-Chi glanced back at them, disappointed, " I guess this means you're not going to be leaving us for a while, huh
Ouji? "
" ... "
" Ouji? " she cocked an eyebrow in anger, watching Goku, who was now busy rubbing Vegeta's hair.
" ...heh-heh. " Vegeta grinned, the bright red glow returning to his face.
" ERR, GET OUT OF MY CAR _NOW_!! " Chi-Chi screamed.
" Hey, _I_ can't help it if Kakarrotto happens to enjoy the feel of my ROYAL SAIYAJIN hair as compared to your
common Earth follicles. " Vegeta boasted, " In fact, he's grown quite fond of rubbing me since I began this little escapade."
the ouji looked up at Goku, " In't that right Kakay? "
" Veggie is soft and fun to rub! " Goku responded, nodding happily. Chi-Chi turned back around in her chair and
growled.
" You know, " Piccolo spoke up as he continued down the highway, " I can't help but get the feeling that we forgot
something... "
Chi-Chi stared straight ahead, blinking. She shrieked suddenly, " AAH! GOHAN! "
Gohan pouted as he continued to wash the ever-growing pile of dishes on the ship, " Somebody! Anybody! Help me!
I'm turning into a big RAISIN in here! Kaasan, Toussan? PICCOLO-SAN!! "
*****************************************************************************************************************************
1:40 AM 9/8/2002
THE END
Chuquita: Ahh, and so it ends.
Goku: Heehee. (nods)
Chuquita: The orignal ending was a goodbye message since it was the last comic strip I doodled in this particular book.
(I ran out of pages to doodle on; sweatdrop) So the orignal ending went sorta like this, Veggie and Son are sitting down
somewhere with sad looks on their faces. Son: Veggie this is the last strip in story 5. Veggie: Possibly the last strip in
this book. Son: (w/big sad sparkily eyes) (crying) I don't want the story to end Veggie. I'm gonna miss you. Veggie: (also
crying) I'm gonna miss you too Kakarrot. Chi-Chi: [pokes her head from off-screen] (peeved) Oh will you two suck it up and
come say goodbye already! Goku: (waving his arms in the air) (happily) Goodbye everybody! Veggie: (winks) See you later! [w/
his arm infront of Chi-Chi's face] Chi-Chi: Hey! Get your hand out of my face, Ouji!
Vejitto: (intreged) Really?
Chuquita: Yeah. The ending from the beginning of the mud-ball battle on looked MUCH COOLER in comic-form. I had some trouble
at first translating that to fit in here. Sometimes I wish I could just smush the pages onto the screen and somehow reviewers
would be able to read it from there.
Gogeta: Nice idea...but it'd never work. (shakes his head)
Chuquita: (sweatdrops)
Vegeta: (to Chu) *Attention-getting-cough*
Chi-Chi: I think it's trying to communicate with us. (evil smirk)
Vegeta: (glares at her) (turns to Chu) *A-louder-attention-getting-cough*
Chuquita: Yes your majesty?
Vegeta: (w/a big grin on his face) Heh-heh-heh. The poll has come to an end, Chu. You know what that means, don't you?
Chuquita: Yes Vedge, I think I do. (turns to audiance) It means it's time to reveal the results of "THE poll!"
Chi-Chi: (rolls her eyes) Oh brother...
Vegeta: (turns to Goggie & Vejitto) Boys, the RESULTS!
[Goggie and Vejitto grin at each other, then zip off-screen and return with a long piece of paper]
Chi-Chi: Hmmph. (to Goku) The OUJI seems rather confident, doesn't he, Goku?
Goku: Yeah well, I happened to peek at the results earlier on so it isn't much of a surprise to me. (grins) Goggie let me
look at the big long paper a little while ago.
Gogeta: (happily waves to Son)
Chi-Chi: (grumbles) Great, now both the little fusion-mutants are in a good mood....that's a bad sign.
Vejitto: Nope, THIS is! [holds up a poorly written cardboard sign that says "cheeez is yuhmee"]
Chi-Chi: ... [slams her head down on the desk]
Chuquita: (laughs) Hahahaha--where did you get that sign?
Vejitto: (shrugs) I dunno.
Chuquita: ...
Vejitto: ... (big happy grin)
Chuquita: (sweatdrops)
Vegeta: (annoyed) (raps his fingers on the desk) Can I continue, PLEASE?
Goku: Aww, Veggie says please so yes he may! [gives Veggie a quick hug] Lookit how polite you are!
Vegeta: (glowing mildly) Uhh, yeah. Right. (shakes the redness off) (to Goggie and Ji) Now children, (evil smirk at Chi)
Chi-Chi: [sends death-glare in Veggie's direction]
Vegeta: I would like the both of you to announce the results of our little poll. I want you to do this as LOUDLY and as
CLEARLY as possible, got that?
Vejitto: (really really loud) WE GOT IT MOMMY!!
Gogeta: (also really really loud) YOU CAN COUNT ON US!!
Chuquita: (ears ringing) Wahh, my ears.
Gogeta: (to audiance) Now if you remember back in Part 1, there was one poll, but three ways to vote. The first was by voting
in your review. Each person was counted once so if you voted for someone in each chapter, only one of your votes count.
Vejitto: And the Review Poll says... (perks up) Mommy 12. Chi-Chi 0.
Chi-Chi: WHAT?!
Vegeta: (very happy little ouji) Hee!
Vejitto: The second way to review as by e-mail.
Gogeta: And the E-mail Poll says... (grin) Mommy 2. Chi-Chi 0.
Chi-Chi: [falls down animé style] GAH!
Gogeta: The final way to send us your response was by voting at the voting booth Nekoni had set up for us.
Vejitto: (waves at the audiance) Thank you Nekoni...where-ever in the audiance you happen to be!
Gogeta: (sweatdrops) Good job, Vejitto.
Vejitto: And thank you big brother of mine! [gives Goggie a thumbs-up]
Gogeta: How am I the big brother!? There's no way to tell which one of us is older anyway!
Vejitto: Age? I thought you were the big brother cuz you're a little bit taller than me.
Gogeta: (baffled) What?
Goku: [holds up a ruler across both fusion-babies heads] Yup! Goggie beats lil Ji-chan by a whole 2 inches!
Gogeta: (sweatdrops) Good for me.. (perks up) Anyway, the results for the Voting Booth Poll were...
Vegeta: (nods w/eager grin on his face)
Chi-Chi: (plugs her ears)
Vejitto: Mommy 21! And Chi-Chi 1!
Gogeta: That gives us the final added results for Mommy an AMAZING 35 votes!
Vejitto: (Veggie-style smirk) And Chi-Chi a sad, pathetic loser-ish vote of 1.
Chi-Chi: (gawks) 1!!! [grabs the paper from the two fusions] THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!! THERE'S NO WAY THAT OUJI CAN GET 25--
Vegeta: (correction) --35!
Chi-Chi: --35 PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR HIM AND I ONLY GET ONE!! IT'S MUTINY! I DEMAND A RECOUNT! [stomps off the set]
Gohan: (worried) Hey Kaasan! Where are you going?!
Chi-Chi: (angrily) I'M GOING TO FIND SOME DIMPLED CHADS! NOW COME ON! FOLLOW ME!
Gohan: (groans; gets up and does so) Come on, Goten, we're going to hunt for some dimpled chads.
Goten: YAY! (cheers and follows them) I have dimples, do those count? (smiles and pokes at the dimples on his cheeks)
Gohan: (groan) Ohhhh, why me.
Vejitto: (waving to them) Bye! Buh-bye! Don't come back too soon!
Gogeta: (also cheerfully waving goodbye) We won't miss you!
Goku: Bye-bye Chi-chan see you later! (turns to Chu) Well, that was fun.
Chuquita: That it was. You know Son-kun, I thought this poll was going to come out in Veggie's favor, but I was thinking more
along the lines of a 60/40 something rather than him having, well--
Vegeta: (grinning) --stealing the election? (nods) Yes, I know. But I'm WORTH IT! And now I know the audiance agrees with me
that I am MORE THAN WORTHY of having Kakarrotto on my side!
Goku: ...does that mean I'm YOUR Go-chan for a fic?
Vegeta: (proudly smirks) You're _MY_ KAKA-chan for a fic. ALL MINE! [grabs Son & hugs him] (muses) Mmm...all mine forever and
ever and ever. Oh Kakarrotto-chan I--
Chuquita: --actually Vedge you only get to win in the next fic only.
Vegeta: (stares blankly at her) You mean after this next story I have to go back to attempting to ensnare Kakarrotto into my
'evil' world of wild and exotic saiyajin culture?
Chuquita: (shrugs) Yeah, pretty much.
Vegeta: (glares at her) How can you take it so lightly.
Chuquita: I don't know.
Vegeta: (to Son) Hear that Kakay? After the next story you have to go back to being trapped in Onna's land of cleaning and
work and no sparring time with your favorite little buddy "Veggie". (fake-pouts)
Goku: Huh--AHH! VEGGIE DON'T LEAVE! [latches onto Veggie] (crying) I DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE!!!
Vegeta: ...you weren't listening to a word I said, were you Kakarrotto?
Goku: You said something?
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Hoo-boy... (to Chu) Tell me he's more manageable once I get my "grubby little paws" on him.
Chuquita: Actually, yes, he is.
Vegeta: (homer-style) WOO-HOO! [pumps both arms in the air]
Chuquita: Buuuuuut that's ALL I'm going to tell you.
Vegeta: ... THHPT! [blows a raspberry in her direction, then folds his arms stubbornly]
Chuquita: I guess this wraps up another story, guys.
Goku: (pouts) Aww...
Gogeta: (pouty look on his face) This doesn't mean we have to leave NOW, does it?
Vejitto: (nods, teary-eyed) Mmm-hmm.
Gogeta: THAT'S NOT FAIR! I WAS JUST STARTING TO HAVE FUN! AND NOW YOU TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME!! (sobs)
Vejitto: (comforting) There there. [pats him on the back] Let's go across the street to that new Sub Shack. They serve their
sandwiches there 24 hours a day.
Gogeta: (perks up) Really? 24/7, huh?
Vejitto: Aaaaand if you're the lucky customer of the day, you get to go into the kitchen and slice your very own hog!
Gogeta: ... (cheers) YAY! [gets up] Oh well. Bye Mommy! [waves to Goku] Bye Daddy! [waves to Veggie]
Vejitto: (happily) See you soon! Hopefully! [both leave]
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) They both just can't agree on who should be Mommy and who should be Daddy, can they?
Vegeta: (sighs) Their one fatal flaw. (shakes his head) (perks up) SO! Mind introducing the next story?
Chuquita: (smiles wryly) I thought you'd never ask. (to audiance) Tune in next time for the long-anticipated story #5!
Entitled "Veggie Wins?!"
Goku: (sweatdrops) Could the title BE any blunter?
Vegeta: (sighs joyfully) It's music to my ears. Sweet, beautiful music singing the happy little song of I, THE GREAT AND
POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI! CONQUEROR OF KAKAY'S SOUL AND DESTROYER OF ONNA'S WORLD!!
Goku: The powers already going to his head and we haven't even started yet.
Chuquita: We're going to have some Veggie-themed quotes of the week and some special stuff in the Corner also, such as
an "Ask Goku" section.
Goku: (sweatdrops) You mean like back in "Veggiewear" when you did that "Ask Veggie" thing?
Chuquita: Yeah, pretty much. Only they get to ask YOU this time. (thinks) Actually I think somebody suggested that too.
Goku: (nervous) But, but I don't wanna be asked any embarassing questions!
Chuquita: You WON'T. Besides, you're "Son Goku--hero #1", you HAVE no terrible secrets!!
Goku: ...no, of course not. Heh-heh-heh. Why would I have any secrets. (big grin) After all I'm so cute-n-lovable and
huggable and that kinda thing.
Vegeta: [hugs Son] (happily) That you are, servant maid!
Goku: (sweatdrops) Ohhhh...
Vegeta: (proud grin) Join us next time and watch me win, earthlings!
Chuquita: You win in the future Veggie. Not in the present.
Vegeta: (brushes her off) Yeah yeah, (grins again) EVERYONE WHO COMES GET'S FREE CANDY!
Goku: (happily) I LOVE CANDY VEGGIE!
Vegeta: (snickers) Yes, I know...
Chuquita: Remember everybody, new dbz episodes on the 16th!
Goku: You can watch Ji-chan live and in action!

Quote of the Week: -from "Peanuts"
Snoopy: (typing on his typewriter) It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly a shot rang out. A door slammed. The maid
screamed. Suddenly a pirate ship appeared on the horizon. While millions of people were starving the king lived in luxury.
Meanwhile, on a small in Kansas, a boy was growing up. End of Part I. Part II. A light snow was falling, and the little girl
with the tattered shaw had not sold a violet all day.
...
...
Snoopy: At that very moment, a young intern at City Hospital was making an important discovery.
...
...
Snoopy: I may have written myself into a corner...
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: ...and that's where we come in. (grins)
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) I knew that quote had to be going somewhere.
Vejitto: It was too long not to be.
Goku: Hahaha. I get it! He said "corner" and we're in our own "corner". Heeheehee.
Vegeta: ...
Goku: (elbows him) It's a, it's a gag Veggie.
Vegeta: (sweatdrop) I got it. (glances over at Chi-Chi; who's busy fuming angrily at him) (smirks) (to Chu) Say Chu, if it
wouldn't be too much trouble do you mind switching seats with--
Chuquita: I sit in the middle for a reason, Vedge. (groans) Besides, Chi-Chi'd threaten me at gun-point if I let you sit
next to Son-kun here.
Chi-Chi: (nods) That's right.
Vegeta: HA! [points to her] THREATENING THE HOST IS CHEATING! YOU ARE DISQUALIFIED AND I AM THE SUPREME VICTOR!! (to Goku)
Kakarrotto! Come sit on my lap.
Goku: (sweatdrops) But I'd crush you! I'm too heavy.
Vegeta: No you're not, now get over here!
Goku: (uneasy) You're not gonna spray me with that yellow gunk from your tail again, are you?
Vegeta: Of course not! That one is only temporary. The pink one is PERMANENT. (evil smirk)
Goku: There's a pink spray?
Vegeta: Would you care to see it?
Goku: (panic) NO!!
Vegeta: I could show you how to spary things with yours.
Goku: [peeks at his own tail which is underneath his belt/sash] (grins) K! [zips over to Veggie]
Vegeta: (calmly) Now I want you to remove that tail-suffocating garment from around your waist so it can move about freely.
Goku: Alright Veggie. [does so] [tail violently snaps free of the sash and starts to cheerfully yet slightly psychotically
twitch and wave about in the air]
Vegeta: (to Goku's tail) So? How do you feel now?
Goku's tail: [snaps tight and wraps itself around Veggie's neck] (rubs his cheek with its tip)
Vegeta: (choking) Lovely... [yanks it off from around him] (takes a big breath) *WHEW*!!
Chi-Chi: (snaps her fingers) Darnit.
Vegeta: (smirks) Thought it was going to try to murder me, didn't you Onna? (boasts) Well Kakay's tail happens to ADORE me.
Goku's tail: [flies down Veggie's shirt]
Vegeta: (freaks out) AAHHA!! [grabs the tail and pulls it out of his tank top] (calming down/nerves still shot though) Now
the next thing you do is consentrate on your tail and the glands inside it should produce a gas. You can then manipulate
this power to your own free will, unlike your tail itself which seems to--GET OUT OF MY PANTS!!! (shrieks) [pulls out Son's
tail just as it heads into his pants] [slaps the tail silly] (to Goku's tail) YOU SICK LITTLE *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP*!!
Goku's tail: (glowing bright red)
Vegeta: (mutters in shock) Holy cheese I actually think it's enjoying this....well...NO MORE SLAPS FOR YOU! [lets go of it]
(turns to Goku) Now, Kakarrotto-- (freezes in place to see Goku has near-fainted) (worried) Kakarrotto?
Goku: Grabbed...tail...slapped....much pain....OH! (faints)
Vegeta: AHH! KAKAY! [reaches out to grab Son, only to have Chi-Chi get there first]
Chi-Chi: HA! I _KNEW_ you couldn't be trusted! (to Son) (baby-speak) Aww, my poor sweet Go-chan, did that evil Ouji try to
kill you? He did? Well we'll make sure he doesn't get anywhere near you ever again.
Vegeta: (hisses at her)
Goten: Kaasan Kaasan! I want a tail too!
Chi-Chi: (snaps) NO YOU DON'T!
Goten: (sweatdrops)
Gohan: Sometimes I really wonder about my life...
Chuquita: (vaguely paying attention) Hmm, yeah that's nice.
Gohan: (curious) What are you doing?
Chuquita: Watching. [points to Goggie and Vejitto]
Goggie & Veji: 1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a tail war. [both tails snap at each others tip in thumb-war style, trying to pin each
other down]
Gohan: Well it's more interesting than listening to Kaasan screaming the same stuff at Vegeta over-n-over.
Chuquita: SHHH!! (watching the tail-war take place) Goggie's won 3 out of 4. Personally I think he's getting tired and
Vejitto'll win this one.
Gohan: Shall I introduce the next chapter then?
Chuquita: (Goggie's tail seems to have Vejitto's in a headlock) Feel free to do so anytime.
Gohan: (smiles at Goten) Care to join me?
Goten: YEA!!
Gohan: And now we'd like to introduce---
Goten: --PART 4!!!
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!
Vejitto: HA! [his tail pins Goggie's to the desk] I WIN!
Chuquita: (grins) I knew he'd win!
Gogeta: (sweatdrops) Good for the both of you.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*! LITTLE VEGGIE I AM HERE! " Goku shouted as he knocked on the door leading to Vegeta's
room on the ship, " HELLO! LITTLE VEGGIE ARE YOU EVEN IN THERE? "
Vegeta stared at the back of the door in surprise, then sweatdropped when he quickly remembered the larger
saiyajin's ability to teleport, " WHY YES, KAKARROTTO, I AM! " he shouted back, then did a double-take when he realized
Kaka-chan was still out. Vegeta dove at his bed, grabbed the capsule off the counter, pressed the button ontop of it and
threw it at Kaka-chan, causing him to be capsulized back inside lucky number 7 just as Goku turned the doorknob, " *whew*! "
the ouji wiped the sweat off his brow, " THAT would have been difficult to explain. " he smiled dryly at the capsule, then
placed it in the counter's drawer.
" Do not fear little buddy for I have RETURNED! " Goku grinned, bounding into the room. He paused to see the room
the same way he left it with the exception of Vegeta half-sitting half-laying on the floor with one hand on the counter and
the other around a beachball. The ouji had on his own swim-gear mentioned in the last chapter.
Goku walked over to him and smiled with uttermost eagerness. Vegeta's face turned bright red as Goku bent down and
squealed, " BEACHBALL!! "
" WAHH! " Vegeta fell over animé style, his foot twitching. Goku had snatched the beachball out of the ouji's hands
and tossed it up into the air. He took off his hat and started to bounce the beachball on his head as if dribbling a
basketball upside-down.
" Ha ha ha HA ha ha ha ha! " Goku laughed happily. Vegeta just narrowed his eyes.
" Well I didn't see THAT coming. " he grumbled, then stood up, " Say, Kakarrot? "
" Yes little Veggie? " Goku said, still bouncing the ball on his head.
" How would you like to play volleyball with your little buddy using that beachball? " Vegeta offered.
" YAY! " Goku cheered, this time letting the beachball slide off his head and down around his arm until he caught it
in his hand, " VOLLEYBALLING WITH VEGGIE! " he tossed it up into the air, " MY SERVE!! "
" NO KAKARROT WAIT!! " Vegeta shrieked, waving his arms in the air as the ball whizzed by him and bouncing off the
wall behind the ouji. Vegeta looked up at the large beachball-sized dent in the wall just a foot above him, ::If I was only
half a foot taller that thing would've taken my head clear off!!:: he mentally gulped, " Umm, you know what Kakarrotto,
we'll play volleyball, but we'll do that LATER. "
" "LATER"? " Goku frowned.
" Yes, MUCH later. " Vegeta added, brushing some plaster off the top of his head, " I was thinking maybe we could
both get a mudbath and a massage and THEN go play volleyball. "
" A mudbath? " the larger saiyajin blinked, confused.
" It's like going to the pool, only instead of water it's filled with mud. " Vegeta tried to explain, a little
baffled himself.
" But little Veggie I can play in the mud at home. " Goku cocked his head, " We have plenty of puddles there. "
" Are any of those puddles 5ft deep, Kakarrotto? " Vegeta smirked.
" Well, no Veggie, I don't think so. "
" HA! I rest my case. " Vegeta laughed victoriously, then left the room, " Come Kakarrotto, and bring the beachball
with you. "
Goku held onto the beachball tightly and cheered, " YAY!! "
" Whoa, look at all the ships! "
" Don't worry, we'll find the one that Ouji's on. "
" Why am I even still here. "
Gohan, Chi-Chi, and Piccolo were currently flying over several ships in the ocean. Chi-Chi's flight pattern was still
a little jagged and she hadn't learned how to properly land yet but could stear well enough to keep herself from falling into
the water.
" Kaasan there must be at least 30 ships out here! " Gohan exclaimed.
" So, it'll be easy to find that evil little monster. His stench is more than enough of an indicator as to which one
he's on. " Chi-Chi smirked, partly disgusted at the thought.
" Well, I guess if it's going to be THAT EASY I should get going back to Kami's now. " Piccolo formed a fake grin and
turned to blast off.
" HEY! YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE! " Chi-Chi snapped. Piccolo froze in place, frustrated.
" WHY NOT!! " he shouted back.
" BECAUSE YOU WERE WITH ME WHEN GOKU LEFT! THAT'S WHY!! "
" That's not a very good reason. " Piccolo muttered, sweatdropping.
" Umm, Kaasan, you know, I WASN'T here when that happened so maybe I should get back to-- " Gohan trailed off,
wanting to go back home almost as bad as Piccolo did.
" --NO WAY! I NEED YOU! " Chi-Chi snapped again, then went into an overdramatic sob, " If a mother can't depend on
her OWN SON who she went through 8 HOURS of labor to bring into EXISTANCE, than who CAN she depend on! "
Gohan floated there, now riddled with guilt, " Ohhhhhhhh... "
" Ouch. " Piccolo mumbled to himself.
" Now let's find that ship! FOLLOW ME MEN!! " Chi-Chi ordered the duo as if she was a drill sergeant. Gohan and
Piccolo sweatdropped and flew down after her.
" So, do you think the actual ship is even in this ocean? " Piccolo quietly asked Gohan, trying to keep Chi-Chi from
going into another raging fit.
" What do you mean, Piccolo-san? It HAS to be here! " Gohan whispered back.
" Yeah, but you know Vegeta by now. "
" Sadly we all do. " Gohan grimaced, sickened. Piccolo's expression mirrored his, " I'm pretty sure they're both here
though. They probably just lowered their ki. " Gohan glanced around the ocean.
" Or they're too far away for us to detect them. " Piccolo pointed out, " The way shorty operates he's probably got
Son in some fancy European hotel room right now and trying to coax him into doing....well you know, the thing your Kaasan
gave Goku the pepper spray to save him from. "
" ...oh. " Gohan's face turned a pale green. He suddenly perked up as he froze in flight. Piccolo shortly stopped
flying afterwards, followed by Chi-Chi.
" What is it Gohan? " Chi-Chi asked, surprised. Gohan flew downwards until he was infront of a large flag with a
symbol on it he had only seen in one other place before.
" Kaasan, I think you should come here. "
She floated towards him, " Have you found that Ouji's ship? Is this it? " he said eagerly.
Gohan pointed to the flag, " That's the same symbol on Vegeta's bedroom door. It even LOOKS kinda like him. "
Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at the flag's symbol, which looked almost like a stick-figure version of the ouji with the
exception of legs.
" Well? " Gohan asked, curious.
" This is it. " Chi-Chi said, dead-serious.
Piccolo sweatdropped as he floated by the side of the ship which read SSJ Bejito-sei, " _I_ could have told you
THAT. "
" Now COME ON, Gohan! Let's go POUND THAT OUJI! " Chi-Chi laughed maniacally, zooming down and landing on the deck.
Gohan sweatdropped.
" Whoopee. "
" So, this is the ship, huh? " Chi-Chi said as the trio stood on the deck. She overlooked where they were, her mind
deep in plotting, " It's large, but I'm confident we can find them if we split up. I'll look in the main cabins; Piccolo, I
want you to check every area private area, I'm talking Captain's quarters, the engine room, any spot that isn't available to
the coming and going public; Gohan, you're going to check all the outside areas which means the deck, the overhangs, even the
windows around the sides of the ship. Now GO! " she ordered, than dashed into the main hall of the ship. Gohan and Piccolo
glanced at each other and shrugged. Gohan walked off towards the back of the ship and Piccolo just stood there and sighed,
wondering how he had ever gotten himself into this mess.
A word popped into his mind, " Dende. " he said outloud, glaring ahead.
:::" --you blow up something with that, and I know that's what you're plotting to do, I'll lock you in the Room of
Time and Space and never let you out! " Dende threatened.
Piccolo snickered, " Yeah, sure you will. ":::
It hit Piccolo like a sack of bricks, " He's punishing me. That little brat is punishing me! " he let out a
mock-laugh, " I can't believe this! " he smacked himself on the forehead. He glanced over to his right, then paused to see a
sign that read "Private Area: Captain and Crew Members Only". Piccolo turned his head upward and laughed in Dende's direction
, " HA!! TAKE THAT! " he flung open the door to reveal a brand-new, never-been-used-or-touched-by-human-hands inground pool.
His jaw dropped to the floor, " Wow...that's a lot of water. " the namek walked over to the pool and looked it over
suspicously. He dipped his finger into the water and then placed it in his mouth to taste it. Piccolo did a double-take,
" This isn't pool water! It's not even tap water! It's fancy IMPORTED stuff! " he grinned, then took another taste, " Dasani
even. " Piccolo said, impressed, " Untouched by Earthling bodies, and not a single person in sight...cool. " he smirked,
then pulled out a large object, " Good thing I brought a straw. "
" Ahhh, OH VEGGIE this feels so GREAT! " Goku stretched happily. The two saiyajins were now sitting in a large
mud-bath.
" Heh. I'm glad you're enjoying it Kakarrotto-chan. " Vegeta smirked, a slight red glow escaping onto his face. The
ouji thought for a moment, then snickered and slowly began to raise his foot from beneath the mud up towards them, " Oh no!
Kakay, what's that! " he fake-gasped suddenly.
" What's what? " Goku said, slightly worried.
" Look! LOOK! THAT THERE! IT'S A GIANT PACIFIC SNAPPING BUG!!; they live out here over the ocean you know; AND IT'S
HEADING FOR YOU!! " Vegeta exclaimed, pretending to freak out, " IT'S GOING TO STING YOU WITH IT'S HUGE NEEDLE-LIKE
APPENDAGE!"
" AHHH! " Goku shrieked at the unrecognizable figure emerging from the mud, " VEGGIE DON'T LET IT STING ME!! " he
yelped, clinging onto the ouji. Vegeta's face glowed bright red, along with the rest of his body. A big satisfied grin on his
face from the fact that 'Kakarrotto' was now clinging and cowering beside him for protection. Vegeta checked to make sure the
larger saiyajin's eyes were still squinted shut, then sent a small ki blast at the tip of his risen foot, which kicked the
blast up into the air and through the ceiling.
" What was that? Is the needle-like append-dagey gone yet? " Goku opened one eye. Vegeta quickly sank his foot before
Goku could see it.
" Uhh, yeah. I, uhh, I killed it. " Vegeta sputtered, then boasted proudly, " It was a simple task, really. But I
feel as your prince and ruler that it is my job to protect my one and only peasant from harm. " he nodded. Goku sighed with
relief.
" Oh THANK YOU Veggie. " Goku said, loosening his grip.
" Just because I destoryed it don't think that you can't cling to my arm like this, after all it is the least you
could do being I just SAVED YOUR LIFE and all. " Vegeta added.
" What is the MOST I could do little Veggie? " Goku asked curiously.
Vegeta paused for a moment, then grinned evilly, " WELL, Kakay, if you REALLY wanna know... "
" AHH! " Chi-Chi shrieked as she faced the main hallway. Her jaw hanging wide open at the seemingly endless wall-ful
of doors, " This is INSANE!! " she gawked, " LOOK AT THEM ALL! What would that Ouji need with ALL THESE DOORS! " Chi-Chi
said outloud, then sweatdropped as several frightening images flashed through her mind, " Ohhhhhh! GO-CHAN! " she grabbed one
of the doorknobs, " URG! It's locked! " Chi-Chi pulled harder, " Come on you!! " she grunted, only to yelp in surprise when
she ripped the doorknob off the handle. Chi-Chi blinked and stood up, confused, " Hey, this thing doesn't turn, in fact, it's
GLUED ON! " Chi-Chi gawked at the doorknob, " IT'S NOT A REAL DOOR AT ALL! THERE'S NO ROOM IN THERE! IT'S JUST GLUED ONTO THE
WALL!!! " she shrieked.
" ... "
" ... "
" Ingenious. " Chi-Chi marveled, " Or bizzare. " she grabbed another doorknob to find the same result. Chi-Chi
wandered down the hallway, growing more impatient, " ONE of these stupid doors has to work! " she said, kicking the closest
one to her and causing it to swing wide-open. She grinned, " AH-HA! " Chi-Chi ran inside the dark room only to come to
another door with a trail of light beneath the crack, " This is it! I just KNOW it! " she said triumpantly, then swung it
open to reveal--the main hallway she had entered in the first place. Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " HOW CAN THIS BE!! " she narrowed
her eyes, " You have a twisted little mind, Ouji. " she grumbled, then thought for a moment and threw a quarter across the
hallway into the open door only to yelp when the same quarter smacked her in the back of the head, " How does he DO that! "
she groaned, " And where's Piccolo when I need him! "
" *slurp* *slurp* *slurp*. Ahhh, that was some quality H2O. " Piccolo said, the happy feeling of having a full belly
echoed throughout his body, " In fact, I don't think I've ever had that good of a water in that amount before. *urp*. Feels
good. " he smiled, then started to get up, only to freeze when he realized he wasn't able to. Piccolo glanced over his
shoulder and freaked out to see he was now bloated to 10 times fat Buu's size, " WAHH!! " he looked upward angrily, " CURSE
YOU DENDE!! "
" That's odd, I don't sense Toussan OR Vegeta anywhere. " Gohan scratched his head, confused. He noticed a nearby,
empty deck chair and sat down, " I bet Vegeta's got some kind of high-tech super-developed ki shield or something to keep us
from finding out where they are.... " he paused, then slapped himself on the forehead, " Oh God, I'm starting to sound like
my mother!! " Gohan groaned.
" Pina colada, sir? "
Gohan looked up to see one of the deck-hands holding a plate of fancy-looking drinks. He smiled, " Gee, thanks! " he
took one of the cups and sipped from it, " Hey, this is pretty good. "
The man held his hand out, " That'll be 700 dollars please. "
Gohan spat the drink out in disbelief, " WHAT?! 700 DOLLARS! I DON'T HAVE 700 DOLLARS!! "
Gohan grumbled as he stood in the ship's kitchen, washing dishes, " Me and my big mouth... "
" Oh Kakay that feels GLORIOUS! " Vegeta grinned with joy as he sat in the mud-bath, Goku rubbing the ouji's
shoulders.
" Veggie's happy then? " Goku asked eagerly.
" Oh yes, Veggie is very VERY happy and feeling almost pleased in fact Veggie would like it if Kakay were to do this
on a regular basis. " Vegeta snickered.
" You mean come on boat-trips with you? " the larger saiyajin blinked.
" NO! I mean this, the rubbing... " he paused to let out several giggles, then resumed his regular tone of voice, " I
find it quite soothing you know. "
Goku grinned, " That's because I have "warm, soothing hands." Heeheeheeheehee! " the saiyajin giggled.
" I should've known better than to try to get away from you Kakarrotto. Terrible move on my part. " Vegeta nodded,
" I should have brought you--AHHHHHhhhhHHhhh---with me from the beginning. " the ouji wiggled a bit from the pleasant feeling
of being rubbed down the back.
" But, weren't you trying to get AWAY from me in the beginning? " Goku said, confused.
" Mmmmmmm.... "
" Veggie? "
" Mmmmmmm.... "
" VEGGIE! "
" Mmm? " the smaller saiyajin looked over his shoulder with a big sappy smile on his face, " Kah-keeee? "
Goku sweatdropped, " I said, 'weren't you trying to get AWAY from me in the beginning'??? "
" Yes, Kakarrotto, I believe I was. " Vegeta shook his head, trying to clear it out, " Rub my tail, will you? "
" Huh? Oh, sure Veggie. " Goku reached down into the mud in search of the ouji's tail while Vegeta began to explain.
" You see Kakarrotto, at first I thought I needed to get away from you in order to relax enough to free my mind, you
know, strengthen it so that I can create even better plots to achieve what I so desire, but I have realized that it's not YOU
I needed to get away from. It was ONNA. "
" Chi-Chi? " Goku blinked, surprised.
" Yes! Why do you think all my previous evil plo--err, "exploits" have failed? YOU didn't do anything! It was ONNA!
That's why you thought I wrote that I hated you in that letter that was really just a large bundle of Kaka-directed-mush! It
had nothing to do with what I wrote, it FAILED because ONNA threw the letter away! It FAILED because she lied to you about
the letter's true contents. It has nothing to do with you or I! It's all HER FAULT! "
" We can't just get RID of Chi-Chi, little Veggie. Besides, I love her. "
" *fake-gasp* Does that mean you don't love ME? "
" AHH! NO VEGGIE NO! I LOVE YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH!! " Goku squeezed the ouji from behind, hugging on for dear life,
" You love me, right? "
" Kakarrotto you have no idea... " Vegeta murmured while glowing bright red.
" Back to the hunt! " Goku chirped, letting go and dunking his hands back into mud in search of the ouji's tail.
" My God! Kakarrotto! If I could get you alone somewhere long enough I'm SURE I could convince you that living with
Onna is nothing but a pointless waste of your Kaka-time. " the ouji nodded, then smirked, " And then we would build a giant,
beauitful satellite and travel across the universe in it! " he mused, " I know this one planet just outside the milky way
which serves the greatest desserts I've ever--HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF BOVINE!! " Vegeta shrieked.
" Veggie I found it! " Goku grinned in victory.
A look of pure shock and humiliation covered the ouji's face, " Kakarrotto...that's NOT my tail... "
" ...ohhh. " Goku turned a bright red color and quickly let go.
" THIS IS! " Vegeta let loose the mud-covered tail, which wrapped around Goku's neck and dunked him under the mud,
then pulled him back up and slapped him several times, " WILL YOU WATCH WHERE YOU'RE PUTTING YOUR BIG KAKA-HANDS!!! " he
shouted as his tail slapped Goku continuously. Vegeta let go, " NOW GO WASH YOUR HANDS!! "
" But Veggie I don't get it I was just rubbing you all over 5 minutes ago-- " Goku said, puzzled.
" YOU AIN'T RUBBING NOWHERE WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE, BAKAYARO!! " Vegeta snapped, then shivered in disgust while
Goku got up and went to wash his hands.
" Sorry Veggie, I didn't mean to. " Goku apologized while washing his hands in the sink, " I couldn't see through the
mud, and besides, what's the point getting mad about it when you're already covered in mud and yucky stuff anyway? "
" ...hey, you're right. " Vegeta blinked, then snapped, " BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT!! YOU'RE LUCKY I'M WEARING MY POOL
SHORTS!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE PUNISHMENT FOR MINDLESSLY VIOLATING YOUR PRINCE IS ON PLANET BEJITO-SEI!!! BEHEADING! DID YOU
HEAR THAT KAKARROT! BEHEADING AS IN CHOPING YOUR EMPTY-HEADED, err, HEAD! " Vegeta angrily rambled on while Goku took a
nearby towel to dry his wet hands, then walked over to the mud-bath again.
" Do you, WANT to behead me, Veggie? " Goku asked innocently, bending over as if giving his head enough leeway to
plop into the mud-bath if sliced off.
" What?! " Vegeta gawked, doing a double-take.
" That's right. I accidentally grabbed something thinking it was your tail but was in reality not the correct body
part I was searching for, so go ahead, chop my noggin off. "
" Uh.....I... " Vegeta trailed off, " OH HECK WITH THAT STUPID LAW MY FATHER MADE IT UP ANYWAYS and besides you're
already forgiven. "
Goku grinned and hopped back in next to him, " Aww Veggie, I knew that already! "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " WHAT!!! "
" It's not that you COULDN'T 'behead' me if I gave you the chance but that you don't WANT to. " he patted the ouji
on the head, " You love me too much! "
Vegeta just angrily grumbled under his breath in reply.
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! " a
frightened voice screamed from a nearby room.
" Little Veggie what was that? " Goku yelped.
" Sounded like Onna. " Vegeta blinked, then snickered at the thought, " She must've released the poison darts in room
327. "
" Chi-chan's here? " Goku said, surprised.
" Probably came to 'rescue' you from my 'clutches'. " Vegeta shrugged it off, " She'll go off the deep end before she
finds us though. "
" But Veggie why would Chi-chan come all the way here. I TOLD her where I was going AND that you were gonna take very
good care of me--which I might add you are doing a wonderful job of. " Goku gave Vegeta a quick hug.
" Yes, well, you see Kakarrotto, Onna doesn't blindly trust me the way you do. " Vegeta explained, then watched a
little light blink on the wall, " Oop, she just released the giant crocodiles. That'll be trouble for her. " he smirked.
Goku sweatdropped, " If I was her I wouldn't trust you either. "
" URG! BACK! BACK I SAY!! " Chi-Chi smacked the last remaining crocodile with a Goku's nyoi-bô; I.E. the power pole.
The crocodile slumped to the ground, " Stupid thing! " she huffed, looking slightly battle-torn, which was only logical being
that she had just fought back 30 of the scaly monsters in a hallway that wasn't any more than 3 feet wide.
" *whew*! " Chi-Chi let out a heavy sigh, then narrowed her eyes, " Oh how I HATE YOU, Ouji. " she glared, then
paused and shouted out, " GO-CHAN! GO-CHAN CAN YOU HEAR ME! WHERE _ARE_ YOU!!! "
" MMPH MMPH!! " a voice shouted from behind a nearby door. Chi-Chi cautiously stepped towards it, then kicked the
door open only to reveal a bloated Piccolo who now took up the entire room he was in. He waved cheesily at her. Chi-Chi
sweatdropped and slammed the door in his face.
" So much for sidekicks. " she grumbled, then continued down the hall.
Piccolo glared at the door, " GOHAN WOULD'VE HELPED ME! GOKU WOULD'VE HELPED ME! EVEN GOTEN WOULD'VE HELPED ME! BUT
YOU, NOOOOoooOOOOOooo, ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS "KILLING THE OUJI". WELL YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE IF YOU DON'T HELP ME OUT OF HERE
SOON.....or later...eh, forget it. "
" This is so STUPID! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, still wandering about the endless hallways and levels of the ship,
" Whoever designed the inside of this boat must be related to that ouji because it makes no sense! "
" WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! " an ecstatic voice hooted from behind door 386. Chi-Chi recognized it
immediately and leaned her ear against the door.
" Go-chan is that you? "
" HEEHEEHEE!! " another voice let out a swarm of content giggles.
Chi-Chi muttered dryly, " Ouji. " she let loose her foot, kicking the door wide open. Chi-Chi's jaw dropped to the
floor at the sight before her. There was Goku and Vegeta sittin in a mud-bath, the ouji waving at her with a cucumber slice
covering each of his eyes. Goku had one over his left eye and another one slapped on his forehead. There was the single
flower sitting on the front right side of the larger saiyajin's hair.
" Hiya Chi-chan! Me-n-Veggie are taking a mud-bath! Care to join us? "
" ...AHHH!! " Chi-Chi screamed at the top of her lungs, " GOKU! HERE I THINK YOU'RE IN SERIOUS DANGER AND WHERE DO I
FIND YOU! IN SOME KIND OF PAMPER PALACE PLAYING BATH-TIME BUDDY TO THAT OUJI!! "
" *SPLAT*! "
Chi-Chi sweatdropped as a huge blob of mud slid down her face. She cringed, then wiped her eyes and turned in the
source of the chucked wad of mud who grinned at her beneath the two cucumber slices over his eyes. Goku stared at Vegeta, who
had another ball of the substance in his other hand, then stared at Chi-Chi. The large saiyajin let out a giggle, then
another, and within seconds was pointing and laughing at Chi-Chi's current condition, enjoying himself.
" Which probably could be considered as "dangerous". " Chi-Chi grumbled, folding her arms.
" Heeheeheeheehee! " both saiyajins giggled with one another, further enraging her. Chi-Chi pulled out her bazooka
and aimed it at the side of the ouji's head.
" Heeheeheeheehaha! " Vegeta laughed.
" *click*click*! "
He froze, his eyes bulged wide causing the two cucumber slices to fall off them and into the 'pond'. Vegeta turned to
his side and chuckled nervously at Chi-Chi, " Heh-heh,....hi. "
" Uh heh-heh-heh. " Chi-Chi said mockingly, then smirked, " Prepare to die. "
" NO CHI-CHAN NO!! " Goku shrieked wildy, dashing between her bazooka and Vegeta, " DON'T YOU DARE LAY A FINGER ON MY
LITTLE VEGGIE!! "
" Heh-heh, YOUR "little Veggie", Kakay-chan? " Vegeta glowed bright red, chuckling in a slightly embarassed manner.
" I'm not GOING to lay a FINGER on him, Goku, JUST THIS MISSILE! " she pressed a button on the bazooka, causing two
more missile-holders to appear on the top of either side of it, making the bazooka look, at least from Vegeta's point of view
, like the outline of a mickey mouse pancake.
" DON'T YOU BLAST MY VEGGIE, CHI-CHAN!! " Goku shouted, frightened for the ouji's safety. He sniffled, putting a hand
on the smaller saiyajin's farthest shoulder from him, " Veggie can't help it if he's a little nuts. Veggie likes to get
pampered and he likes to have me there getting pampered with him. That's just who he is and I don't think it's right to hurt
him just because he's a lil wacky in the head. " he hugged the ouji tightly.
" HEY! WHO ARE YOU CALLING WACKY?! " Vegeta exclaimed, offended. Goku bopped him on the head.
" SHUSH! I'm trying to keep you from getting MURDERED here! " Goku whispered loudly.
" Sorry Kakay. " the ouji said, embarassed, then smirked at Chi-Chi, " Here that Onna, _I_ actually APOLOGIZE to my
little Kaka-muffin when I know I have wronged him. "
" Why you-- " Chi-Chi snarled angrily, grabbing for her bazooka again. Goku quickly slapped his hand over Vegeta's
mouth to keep him from saying anything else.
" Little Veggie go play over there. " Goku whispered cautiously, motioning the smaller saiyajin to move to the other
side of the mud-bath.
" What? Why! I'm not your little baby! You can't just shove me over to the side because the "grownups" are going to
talk now. " Vegeta whispered back, annoyed.
" No Veggie that's not it. I just don't want you to get hurt. " Goku shook his head.
" You're, you're WORRIED about me, aren't you! " Vegeta said w/big sparkily eyes, touched, " Aww, Kah-kiiii!!! "
Goku noddded.
" Don't worry about me! I can take care of myself! " the ouji snapped, then paddled across to the other side of the
pool as Goku had ordered. The large saiyajin sweatdropped.
" Sometimes I wonder about you Veggie... " he trailed off.
" You WONDER about me? " the ouji sighed, the big sparkily eyes back on his face.
Goku almost fell over, " GAH!! " he rubbed his head, " Why do I even bother with him! " he turned to Chi-Chi, " Hey
Chi-chan, why don't you forget about that mean 'ol bazooka and come take a nice messy mud-bath with me-n-Veggie? "
" ARE YOU CRAZY!!! " Chi-Chi shrieked, " YOU COULDN'T GET ME IN THAT BIG MUD-PUDDLE IF YOU TRIED!! "
" Aww, come on, it's mudd-eee. " Goku said in a sing-song voice, splashing around a bit.
" NO! "
" It's goo-eee. "
" NO! "
" It's soooooothing. " Goku winked at her.
" ... "
" Well? "
" OH-KAY! "
Goku cheered, " YAY! "
" Say Kakarrotto, " Vegeta said as they floated about in the mud, " Whatever happened to the "wicked witch of the
west"??? "
" Oh, she melted. " Goku responded cheerfully.
" ...what? "
" She melted. Remember, when Dorothy threw that bucket of water on her and she...melted. " Goku stopped when he
noticed the you-have-no-idea-what-I'm-talking-about-do-you? look on Vegeta's face.
" I meant Onna. "
" OH!! " Goku said, enlightened, " She went to go get changed. Chi-chan's gonna play in the mud with us. "
" WHAT?! " Vegeta panicked, " YOU CAN'T LET HER IN HERE SHE'LL MURDERLIZE ME! AND STEAL YOU! THE BAZOOKA
REMEMBER!!! "
" Chi-chan's not gonna hurt you little Veggie 'o mine. _I_ will take care of that. " Goku said as if talking to a
small child, picking up the ouji and hugging him tightly, " And if she does I promise I'll stop her before you get
seriously injured. "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " Oh THAT'S reassuring. " he said dryly.
Goku grinned and set Vegeta down, " Yes it is! "
" Oh Ou-jiii! " a sing-song voice came from behind the duo. Vegeta froze, then glanced over his shoulder to see
Chi-Chi smirking evilly at him; now in her bathing suit, a pair of goggles, and with a very LARGE water gun on her
shoulder, " Who ya gonna call! "
" Uhhhh... " Vegeta babbled off as he stared at the size of the squirt gun. He laughed nervously, " ...ghost....
....busters? "
Chi-Chi adjusted the trigger, " *click*click*! WRONG! " she pulled the water gun's trigger, sending out a strong
gust of water in Vegeta's direction, completely drenching the ouji. Chi-Chi laughed at him, then grinned victoriously.
Vegeta angrily stood there as the water trickled down his face and into the mud, lightening it. The short ouji's hair
was no longer standing on end and instead was; due to the weight the water added to his hair, obeying the natural
forces of gravity and falling down slightly past his shoulders. He glared at Chi-Chi, then formed a mud-ball in his
hands and snickered in her direction. Chi-Chi backed up uneasily, then yelped as Vegeta began to pelt dozens of
mud-balls at her. Chi-Chi ran off to the other side of the mud-bath, screaming. Vegeta laughed maniacally and raced
after her.
Goku watched from a distance as his two companions angrily pelted each other with mud-balls in some kind of mini-war.
Then stood silently as the duo returned to where he was standing, both completely covered in such thick mud that if it
weren't for their height and eyes he couldn't tell them apart.
" Heehee, heeheehee. " Goku giggled.
" ... "
" What? It's funny. Heehee, little Veggie said he wanted to get dirty, but not like this! HAHAHA-- " Goku paused when
both Vegeta and Chi-Chi raised a mud ball in each of their hands, " --uh oh. " he sweatdropped, then shrieked and dashed off
as they began chucking mud at him. The large saiyajin tripped and fell, causing a mountain of mud-formed blobs to smack
overtop of his head.
Goku blinked as he heard a couple snickers and rubbed the mud off his eyes to see Vegeta and Chi-Chi standing infront
of him with smug looks on their faces. The bigger saiyajin sniffled. Vegeta's eyes flung wide open at the small sound to see
Goku's eyes were now filled to the brim with tears.
" Kakay? " he said cautiously.
" WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! " Goku wailed. Vegeta and Chi-Chi looked at each other, guilt ridden.
Vegeta walked forward, " Kakay, Kakay don't cry, _I_ didn't mean to throw those at you. " he reached out to hug his
large, crying peasant. Goku's sobbing quieted down to sniffles, " It'll be alright, Kakay. Your little Veggie's here now and
he's gonna make everything all better again. " the ouji said in a comforting tone of voice.
" YAH! " Chi-Chi kicked Vegeta aside, causing him to fall into the mud. Vegeta groaned, then shook his head and sat
up to find Chi-Chi patting Goku's muddy hand. The ouji growled at the scene, " Aww Go-chan, I'm sorry about that I just got
caught up in the moment that's all. " Chi-Chi said, trying to calm him down, " You understand, right? "
" Errrrr--RAAAHHHH!!! " Goku screamed, flashing into ssj. The energy causing Chi-Chi to loose her balance and fall
flat on her but. She scrambled to her feet.
" Uhhh. " Chi-Chi blinked as the larger saiyajin glared at the both of them.
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! " he screamed again, going up to ssj2. Vegeta yelped and lept into Chi-Chi's arms,
then grinned cheesily at her. She growled and dropped the ouji into the mud.
" *HACK*! " Vegeta spat out a mouth-ful of mud, " Well THAT was uncalled for. " he grumbled.
Meanwhile Goku still stood infront of them with an angry look on his face, " Grrr... "
" *fwooshie* *fwooshie* *fwooshie* " his ssj aura made a loud fwooshing noise.
" Grrrrrrrr... "
" *fwooshie* *fwooshie* *fwooshie* " Vegeta picked up a glop of mud and formed it into the size of a large snowball.
" ...rrrrrrr "
" *fwooshie* *fwooshie* *fwooshie* "
" *SPLAT*! " Vegeta chucked the mudball at Goku's face, causing the aura to disappear. Goku sweatdropped and Chi-Chi
turned to the ouji and yelled.
" HEY! " she glared, " WHAT WAS THAT FOR! "
" *sniffle* " Goku sniffled, " Veggie, *sniff* I, *sniffle* have something for you. "
Vegeta grinned evilly, " ReeaaaAAALLLY, Kaka-chan? "
Goku nodded solumnly, then pulled something out from behind his back and chucked a mudball at their faces,
" Heeheehee! " he giggled at the priceless look of shock on Vegeta and Chi-Chi's faces.
" Why thank you Kakarrotto. " Vegeta smirked, a preparing-for-battle look on the two saiyajins faces.
" You are welcome little Veggie. " Goku turned around and dipped his hands into the mud, " Would you care for
another? "
" Heh. " Vegeta turned his own back on Goku and the saiyajins instantly got to work wildly scooping mud out of the
pool and into two huge blobs infront of them. Chi-Chi watched in horror as they lifted their mud blobs up above their heads
and ki-blasted them into the air. Gravity soon took its course and the now one huge blob spiraled down towards the trio.
Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" Uh-oh. "
" *Beeeeeeeeeee--* " the sound of imminent doom from a giant falling mud-ball in the sky continued to sound
throughout the room. Goku had since powered back down from ssj2 and along with Vegeta and Chi-Chi was currently staring
upward in amazement.
" Is it even going to come down? " he asked curiously.
" SHHH! " Vegeta shhed him.
Goku giggled at the ouji, then ticked him around the sides of his neck, " Shhshhshhshhshh! " Goku said mockingly,
then burst into giggles again. Vegeta grinned, glowing bright red.
" DON'T YOU TICKLE HIM! " Chi-Chi snapped. Goku pouted and drew his fingers back away.
" Sorry Chi-chan. " he said quietly, folding his arms. Goku spoke up again a second later, " I didn't mean to, it's
just that I was rubbin Veggie for so long earlier I think I formed a habit. "
" Well UNform it! " she said, disgusted. Chi-Chi glared at the ouji.
" Heh. " Vegeta smirked, then walked infront of Goku, " You can continue where you left off, Kaka-chan. "
" Uhhhhhhh.... "
" Don't be shy, I don't mind getting a Kaka-rubdown from your nice warm sooooOOOooothing hands. " Vegeta blushed
lightly. Chi-Chi snarled at him.
" uhhhhhhh.... "
" Kakay? " Vegeta looked over at him to find Goku was staring upwards, " Kakay are you oh--AHH!! "
" *SPLAT*! " the giant mound of mud came crashing down upon them. Chi-Chi, Goku, and Vegeta poked their heads out of
the top of the mound, all gasping for air.
" THAT WAS FUN! " Goku hooted. Their heads only visible.
" Kakarrotto, *hack*, " Vegeta spat out some mud, " You are a MORON! "
" HEEEEEeeee.. " Goku grinned widely.
" Hey Ou-jiii. " Chi-Chi said in a sing-song voice, grabbing Vegeta's attention. She leaned over and gave Goku a kiss
on the cheek.
" Heeheeheehee! " the large saiyajin giggled with embarassment. A look of dark vengence covered Vegeta's face as he
snarled at her. Chi-Chi laughed, inbetween the two saiyajins.
" Just a little reminder of who the OWNER of the person with the warm soothing hands is. " she smirked.
" Yes. And that would be ME. " Vegeta snorted, " YOU are nothing more than an evil Earth witch who tricked my Kakay
into marrying her even when he didn't love her in the first place!!! "
" *GASP*! THERE WAS TOO LOVE! " Chi-Chi snapped.
" Uhh, Chi-chan? " Goku gulped.
" NOT NOW GOKU! " she turned back to Vegeta, " THERE WAS PLENTY OF LOVE, OUJI! "
" HA! " Vegeta laughed, " emphasis on "was". "
" ERRRRRrr... " Chi-Chi growled.
" Kakay only "loves" you because you cook him fancy-smancy meals all the time. If it wasn't for his belly he'd
already be spoon-feeding me french-vanilla pudding on a yacht somewhere. " Vegeta boasted.
" Uhh, little Veggie? " Goku squeaked out.
" In your DREAMS, Ouji. Or rather in my nightmares. " Chi-Chi stuck her tongue out, sickened at the thought.
" GUYS!!! " Goku shouted in panic.
" WHAT! " they both yelled at once, then yelped as three wads of mud slammed onto their faces. Goku wiped the
fresh mud off his face.
" I TRIED to warn you. " he said stubbornly.
" MUH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! " a voice laughed maniacally from below them.
Goku gasped, " Hey! I recognize that maniacal laugh--it's PICCY! " he looked down to see Piccolo standing at the
edge of pool spinning a fairly large size wad of mud on the tip of his finger as if it were a basketball.
" But I left him back in that room in the hall bloated with water!!! " Chi-Chi said, astonished.
" Hmmph. " Piccolo smirked, " Namekians absorb water the same way plants do. Since I drank more than I really
needed it just took my body a while to absorb it into my bloodstream. "
" But how did you get here? The hallway's a labyrinth! It would practically take DAYS to get there if you hadn't
overheard the conversation going on between Goku and the Ouji here! " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes, suspicious.
" Isn't it obvious, Onna? " Vegeta shook his head, " Once the namek felt Kakarrotto's ki leap when he entered his
ssj2 form it was probably pretty easy to find out what direction we were in. "
" Point for Vegeta. That was pretty smart thinking for someone who's trapped himself up to his neck in spa mud. "
Piccolo snickered. Vegeta glared at him and pulled a wad of mud out with his hand.
" You're not calling my little Veggie stupid, are you Piccolo? " Goku narrowed his eyes, also forming a ball of
mud in his own hand.
" And that doesn't happen to insinuate that all three of us are 'stupid' for being stuck in here, DOES IT,
Piccolo? " Chi-Chi formed a ball of mud in both her hands. Piccolo gulped and laughed nervously.
" Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh, what was I saying again? "
Chi-Chi smirked, " Take a wild guess. " she lept out of the mountain of mud and hurtled the balls down at Piccolo,
who quickly dashed off only to have Goku teleport infront of him with two handfuls of his own mud and prepared to throw
them at the namek. Piccolo skillfully dodged him as well only to hear a familiar little snicker behind him. He turned
around and sweatdropped to see Vegeta standing there holding a mud-ball that was at least 10 times his own bodyweight.
" Heh-heh. " Piccolo let out a nervous laugh, " Hi... "
" *SPLAT* *BOOM* *POW* *SPLASH*!! "
The girl standing behind the counter looked up from the book she was reading. She cocked an eyebrow at the door
leading to the mud-pool room behind her, " What the? " she blinked, then turned back to her book only to sweatdrop as the
entire door exploded and she soon found her back covered in a thick layer of mud. The girl tensely placed her book on the
desk and marched into the room only to gawk at the scene before her.
Chi-Chi and Piccolo had each formed swords with the mud and were attacking each other medieval-style. Each had also
formed a shield out of mud and was protecting themselves with their spare hands. Meanwhile Goku and Vegeta were busy
mud-wrestling each other on the ground, turning over and over until they both smacked their sides into the wall. The two
saiyajins paused, stared at the wall, and then turned back the other way, now not only wrestling but also trying to strangle
each other. Piccolo purposely tripped to send himself sliding past Chi-Chi and across the room. He stuck his arms out as he
slid, causing him to accumulate what looked like gigantic boxing-gloves on each of his hands. Piccolo swung one of the huge
mud-gloves out, snatching Chi-Chi up in one and the two saiyajins up in the other. He then thrust his arms forward, causing
the mud piles to unlatch themselves from his wrists and hurtle, along with Goku, Chi-Chi, and Vegeta into the wall. Piccolo
laughed victoriously.
" HAHAHA! I AM THE MUDBALL KING! "
" OUT!! "
The quartet froze, then simultaneously turned towards the infuriated girl in the doorway, all with the same look of
utter confusion on their faces. The girl sweatdropped.
" Hey Veggie look! It's that same lady from the counter who let me get into the swimming pool area because I told her
my name was Son Goku instead of Kakarrotto! " Goku said happily, breaking the silence.
" WHO DO YOU PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE!! " she yelled angrily.
" Well, I am Son Goku, and over here is my little Veggie, and the one with the big glob of mud in her hair is
Chi-chan, and the really really tall one with the pointy ears is my former little buddy, Piccy. " Goku grinned widely. The
others sweatdropped.
" Morons. " the girl rolled her eyes, then shouted at them, " I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! YOU COME IN HERE AND DESTORY THE
ENTIRE ROOM! YOU TWO AREN'T EVEN PAYING CUSTOMERS!! " she pointed at Piccolo and Chi-Chi.
" Confidentially, I didn't ask to be here. " Piccolo muttered to her.
" I DON'T NEED TO PAY! " Chi-Chi snarled, " I'M HERE TO PROTECT MY GO-CHAN FROM THE MENACE WHICH IS THAT SICK, SHORT
LITTLE CREATURE BESIDE HIM! " she glared at Vegeta, who just snickered in response and gave Goku a gloppy, muddy hug from
behind just to egg her on.
" Mmm, so very comfortable. " Vegeta said, then smirked in Chi-Chi's direction, " Kakay's so soft, and warm, and
forbidden-- "
" ERRUGH! " Chi-Chi chucked a mudball at the ouji, hitting him in the face. Vegeta flinched as he shook the mud off
his eyes.
" SEE! THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! " the girl exclaimed, " YOU CAN'T JUST GO AROUND THROWING MUD AT EACH
OTHER! IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE POOL NOT USED AS AMMO FOR YOUR TARGET PRACTICE!! WHAT WERE YOU ALL THINKING!! "
Goku spoke up, " Umm, "mud works well when building a fort"? "
" WRONG! "
" I'm sorry I got you kicked off the cruise little Veggie. " Goku said sadly as the group drove home, now all back in
their regular clothes. Piccolo was in the drivers seat, Chi-Chi in the front passengers, and the two saiyajins were in the
back; Goku on the left and Vegeta on the right.
" Eh, forget about it Kakarrotto. " Vegeta shrugged nonchalantly.
" Really Veggie? " Goku squeaked out.
" Yeah, sure. " the ouji smiled.
" OH VEGGIE! " the larger saiyajin squealed, grabbing Vegeta into a big hug, " You're so sweet! "
" Heh-heh-heh...I'm sweeeeet. " Vegeta's face glowed bright red. The ouji let out several giggles, then pulled
himself out of the embrace. Vegeta shook his head, causing the redness to disappear, " Kakarrotto, the way I've got it
figured, if I were to relax too often I'd get lazy and fat, not to mention how far I would fall behind you in strength.
Besides, there's no way I can escape you anyway-- " he paused and sweatdropped to see the larger saiyajin now happily
massaging the ouji's shoulders, " --you care about me too much. " Vegeta finished dryly.
Chi-Chi glanced back at them, disappointed, " I guess this means you're not going to be leaving us for a while, huh
Ouji? "
" ... "
" Ouji? " she cocked an eyebrow in anger, watching Goku, who was now busy rubbing Vegeta's hair.
" ...heh-heh. " Vegeta grinned, the bright red glow returning to his face.
" ERR, GET OUT OF MY CAR _NOW_!! " Chi-Chi screamed.
" Hey, _I_ can't help it if Kakarrotto happens to enjoy the feel of my ROYAL SAIYAJIN hair as compared to your
common Earth follicles. " Vegeta boasted, " In fact, he's grown quite fond of rubbing me since I began this little escapade."
the ouji looked up at Goku, " In't that right Kakay? "
" Veggie is soft and fun to rub! " Goku responded, nodding happily. Chi-Chi turned back around in her chair and
growled.
" You know, " Piccolo spoke up as he continued down the highway, " I can't help but get the feeling that we forgot
something... "
Chi-Chi stared straight ahead, blinking. She shrieked suddenly, " AAH! GOHAN! "
Gohan pouted as he continued to wash the ever-growing pile of dishes on the ship, " Somebody! Anybody! Help me!
I'm turning into a big RAISIN in here! Kaasan, Toussan? PICCOLO-SAN!! "
*****************************************************************************************************************************
1:40 AM 9/8/2002
THE END
Chuquita: Ahh, and so it ends.
Goku: Heehee. (nods)
Chuquita: The orignal ending was a goodbye message since it was the last comic strip I doodled in this particular book.
(I ran out of pages to doodle on; sweatdrop) So the orignal ending went sorta like this, Veggie and Son are sitting down
somewhere with sad looks on their faces. Son: Veggie this is the last strip in story 5. Veggie: Possibly the last strip in
this book. Son: (w/big sad sparkily eyes) (crying) I don't want the story to end Veggie. I'm gonna miss you. Veggie: (also
crying) I'm gonna miss you too Kakarrot. Chi-Chi: [pokes her head from off-screen] (peeved) Oh will you two suck it up and
come say goodbye already! Goku: (waving his arms in the air) (happily) Goodbye everybody! Veggie: (winks) See you later! [w/
his arm infront of Chi-Chi's face] Chi-Chi: Hey! Get your hand out of my face, Ouji!
Vejitto: (intreged) Really?
Chuquita: Yeah. The ending from the beginning of the mud-ball battle on looked MUCH COOLER in comic-form. I had some trouble
at first translating that to fit in here. Sometimes I wish I could just smush the pages onto the screen and somehow reviewers
would be able to read it from there.
Gogeta: Nice idea...but it'd never work. (shakes his head)
Chuquita: (sweatdrops)
Vegeta: (to Chu) *Attention-getting-cough*
Chi-Chi: I think it's trying to communicate with us. (evil smirk)
Vegeta: (glares at her) (turns to Chu) *A-louder-attention-getting-cough*
Chuquita: Yes your majesty?
Vegeta: (w/a big grin on his face) Heh-heh-heh. The poll has come to an end, Chu. You know what that means, don't you?
Chuquita: Yes Vedge, I think I do. (turns to audiance) It means it's time to reveal the results of "THE poll!"
Chi-Chi: (rolls her eyes) Oh brother...
Vegeta: (turns to Goggie & Vejitto) Boys, the RESULTS!
[Goggie and Vejitto grin at each other, then zip off-screen and return with a long piece of paper]
Chi-Chi: Hmmph. (to Goku) The OUJI seems rather confident, doesn't he, Goku?
Goku: Yeah well, I happened to peek at the results earlier on so it isn't much of a surprise to me. (grins) Goggie let me
look at the big long paper a little while ago.
Gogeta: (happily waves to Son)
Chi-Chi: (grumbles) Great, now both the little fusion-mutants are in a good mood....that's a bad sign.
Vejitto: Nope, THIS is! [holds up a poorly written cardboard sign that says "cheeez is yuhmee"]
Chi-Chi: ... [slams her head down on the desk]
Chuquita: (laughs) Hahahaha--where did you get that sign?
Vejitto: (shrugs) I dunno.
Chuquita: ...
Vejitto: ... (big happy grin)
Chuquita: (sweatdrops)
Vegeta: (annoyed) (raps his fingers on the desk) Can I continue, PLEASE?
Goku: Aww, Veggie says please so yes he may! [gives Veggie a quick hug] Lookit how polite you are!
Vegeta: (glowing mildly) Uhh, yeah. Right. (shakes the redness off) (to Goggie and Ji) Now children, (evil smirk at Chi)
Chi-Chi: [sends death-glare in Veggie's direction]
Vegeta: I would like the both of you to announce the results of our little poll. I want you to do this as LOUDLY and as
CLEARLY as possible, got that?
Vejitto: (really really loud) WE GOT IT MOMMY!!
Gogeta: (also really really loud) YOU CAN COUNT ON US!!
Chuquita: (ears ringing) Wahh, my ears.
Gogeta: (to audiance) Now if you remember back in Part 1, there was one poll, but three ways to vote. The first was by voting
in your review. Each person was counted once so if you voted for someone in each chapter, only one of your votes count.
Vejitto: And the Review Poll says... (perks up) Mommy 12. Chi-Chi 0.
Chi-Chi: WHAT?!
Vegeta: (very happy little ouji) Hee!
Vejitto: The second way to review as by e-mail.
Gogeta: And the E-mail Poll says... (grin) Mommy 2. Chi-Chi 0.
Chi-Chi: [falls down animé style] GAH!
Gogeta: The final way to send us your response was by voting at the voting booth Nekoni had set up for us.
Vejitto: (waves at the audiance) Thank you Nekoni...where-ever in the audiance you happen to be!
Gogeta: (sweatdrops) Good job, Vejitto.
Vejitto: And thank you big brother of mine! [gives Goggie a thumbs-up]
Gogeta: How am I the big brother!? There's no way to tell which one of us is older anyway!
Vejitto: Age? I thought you were the big brother cuz you're a little bit taller than me.
Gogeta: (baffled) What?
Goku: [holds up a ruler across both fusion-babies heads] Yup! Goggie beats lil Ji-chan by a whole 2 inches!
Gogeta: (sweatdrops) Good for me.. (perks up) Anyway, the results for the Voting Booth Poll were...
Vegeta: (nods w/eager grin on his face)
Chi-Chi: (plugs her ears)
Vejitto: Mommy 21! And Chi-Chi 1!
Gogeta: That gives us the final added results for Mommy an AMAZING 35 votes!
Vejitto: (Veggie-style smirk) And Chi-Chi a sad, pathetic loser-ish vote of 1.
Chi-Chi: (gawks) 1!!! [grabs the paper from the two fusions] THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!! THERE'S NO WAY THAT OUJI CAN GET 25--
Vegeta: (correction) --35!
Chi-Chi: --35 PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR HIM AND I ONLY GET ONE!! IT'S MUTINY! I DEMAND A RECOUNT! [stomps off the set]
Gohan: (worried) Hey Kaasan! Where are you going?!
Chi-Chi: (angrily) I'M GOING TO FIND SOME DIMPLED CHADS! NOW COME ON! FOLLOW ME!
Gohan: (groans; gets up and does so) Come on, Goten, we're going to hunt for some dimpled chads.
Goten: YAY! (cheers and follows them) I have dimples, do those count? (smiles and pokes at the dimples on his cheeks)
Gohan: (groan) Ohhhh, why me.
Vejitto: (waving to them) Bye! Buh-bye! Don't come back too soon!
Gogeta: (also cheerfully waving goodbye) We won't miss you!
Goku: Bye-bye Chi-chan see you later! (turns to Chu) Well, that was fun.
Chuquita: That it was. You know Son-kun, I thought this poll was going to come out in Veggie's favor, but I was thinking more
along the lines of a 60/40 something rather than him having, well--
Vegeta: (grinning) --stealing the election? (nods) Yes, I know. But I'm WORTH IT! And now I know the audiance agrees with me
that I am MORE THAN WORTHY of having Kakarrotto on my side!
Goku: ...does that mean I'm YOUR Go-chan for a fic?
Vegeta: (proudly smirks) You're _MY_ KAKA-chan for a fic. ALL MINE! [grabs Son & hugs him] (muses) Mmm...all mine forever and
ever and ever. Oh Kakarrotto-chan I--
Chuquita: --actually Vedge you only get to win in the next fic only.
Vegeta: (stares blankly at her) You mean after this next story I have to go back to attempting to ensnare Kakarrotto into my
'evil' world of wild and exotic saiyajin culture?
Chuquita: (shrugs) Yeah, pretty much.
Vegeta: (glares at her) How can you take it so lightly.
Chuquita: I don't know.
Vegeta: (to Son) Hear that Kakay? After the next story you have to go back to being trapped in Onna's land of cleaning and
work and no sparring time with your favorite little buddy "Veggie". (fake-pouts)
Goku: Huh--AHH! VEGGIE DON'T LEAVE! [latches onto Veggie] (crying) I DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE!!!
Vegeta: ...you weren't listening to a word I said, were you Kakarrotto?
Goku: You said something?
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Hoo-boy... (to Chu) Tell me he's more manageable once I get my "grubby little paws" on him.
Chuquita: Actually, yes, he is.
Vegeta: (homer-style) WOO-HOO! [pumps both arms in the air]
Chuquita: Buuuuuut that's ALL I'm going to tell you.
Vegeta: ... THHPT! [blows a raspberry in her direction, then folds his arms stubbornly]
Chuquita: I guess this wraps up another story, guys.
Goku: (pouts) Aww...
Gogeta: (pouty look on his face) This doesn't mean we have to leave NOW, does it?
Vejitto: (nods, teary-eyed) Mmm-hmm.
Gogeta: THAT'S NOT FAIR! I WAS JUST STARTING TO HAVE FUN! AND NOW YOU TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME!! (sobs)
Vejitto: (comforting) There there. [pats him on the back] Let's go across the street to that new Sub Shack. They serve their
sandwiches there 24 hours a day.
Gogeta: (perks up) Really? 24/7, huh?
Vejitto: Aaaaand if you're the lucky customer of the day, you get to go into the kitchen and slice your very own hog!
Gogeta: ... (cheers) YAY! [gets up] Oh well. Bye Mommy! [waves to Goku] Bye Daddy! [waves to Veggie]
Vejitto: (happily) See you soon! Hopefully! [both leave]
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) They both just can't agree on who should be Mommy and who should be Daddy, can they?
Vegeta: (sighs) Their one fatal flaw. (shakes his head) (perks up) SO! Mind introducing the next story?
Chuquita: (smiles wryly) I thought you'd never ask. (to audiance) Tune in next time for the long-anticipated story #5!
Entitled "Veggie Wins?!"
Goku: (sweatdrops) Could the title BE any blunter?
Vegeta: (sighs joyfully) It's music to my ears. Sweet, beautiful music singing the happy little song of I, THE GREAT AND
POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI! CONQUEROR OF KAKAY'S SOUL AND DESTROYER OF ONNA'S WORLD!!
Goku: The powers already going to his head and we haven't even started yet.
Chuquita: We're going to have some Veggie-themed quotes of the week and some special stuff in the Corner also, such as
an "Ask Goku" section.
Goku: (sweatdrops) You mean like back in "Veggiewear" when you did that "Ask Veggie" thing?
Chuquita: Yeah, pretty much. Only they get to ask YOU this time. (thinks) Actually I think somebody suggested that too.
Goku: (nervous) But, but I don't wanna be asked any embarassing questions!
Chuquita: You WON'T. Besides, you're "Son Goku--hero #1", you HAVE no terrible secrets!!
Goku: ...no, of course not. Heh-heh-heh. Why would I have any secrets. (big grin) After all I'm so cute-n-lovable and
huggable and that kinda thing.
Vegeta: [hugs Son] (happily) That you are, servant maid!
Goku: (sweatdrops) Ohhhh...
Vegeta: (proud grin) Join us next time and watch me win, earthlings!
Chuquita: You win in the future Veggie. Not in the present.
Vegeta: (brushes her off) Yeah yeah, (grins again) EVERYONE WHO COMES GET'S FREE CANDY!
Goku: (happily) I LOVE CANDY VEGGIE!
Vegeta: (snickers) Yes, I know...
Chuquita: Remember everybody, new dbz episodes on the 16th!
Goku: You can watch Ji-chan live and in action!
