(A/N) This takes place right after the Majin Buu Saga. Bura is not born yet, and Trunks and Goten are eight and seven.

"Isn't this such fun?" Edward asks, while brushing Goku's hair, still in Goku's sick room.

Goku says, with a bored expression, "Yes, it's so entertaining to have you fuss with my hair for hours on end."

Edward smiles, completely oblivious to Goku's sarcasm, "Really? I thought so, too." Goku groans, putting his head between his hands. Edward looks at him thoughtfully, with a rather mischievous glint in his eye. Edward magically gets a rather large plate from nowhere and put it on the table in front of the larger saiyajin's face, "Want some cake, Kaka-Chan?"

Goku stares at the huge cake in a hungry enchantment, "Oh my Kami. My dream come true! Triple layered, double malted marble cake with chocolate icing and sprinkles! The king of all delicious deli delights! How did you-"

Edward says proudly, "Made it myself! Want some?"

Goku cheers, "Would I!" quickly reaching for the treat. But Edward quickly swipes it away from his grasp. Goku whimpers, "Hey, I wanted that."

Edward says, "I'll let you have the whole thing..." Goku brightens, "but only if you play with me."

Goku asks, "Play what?" still staring at the plate in the possessed ouji's hands.

Edward squeals, "Tea party!"

Goku does a double-take of the other saiyajin, "Wha-WHAT?!"

Vegeta mutters in disgust, A little girl inhabited my body. Wonderful, just great.

Goku says nervously, "B-but, Ve-"

"Eddy."

Goku sweatdrops, "Rrright. Eddy... why don't we do something that we both like? Like sparring?"

Edward gasps, nearly dropping the cake in shock, "How could you suggest something so violent?! Besides, I could never bring myself to hurt you, dearest Kaka-Chan o'mine."

Goku protests, "It's not violent!...that much. And you're not really that strong enough to do any major damage anyway."

Edward's left eye twitches, "...Not strong enough...?"

Goku says, "Well, yes, actually." This time Edward really does drop the cake. Goku shrieks, "ACK!" but quickly saves it, an inch before it hits the ground.

Edward points an accusing finger at Goku's face, tears welling up in his eyes, "Kaka-Chan, how COULD you?! You of all people?! I have lived my whole life listening to strong and weak, or survival and death! I'm sick of it! I hate it! I hate it! I HATE IT!" Suddenly Edward falls to his knees and brings his hands to neck, as if he's choking.

Goku looks at him with wide eyes, "Eddy? Eddy! Are you okay?!" Edward looks up at him, and Goku can see that his face has turned back into the face of the ouji he knew for so long.

Vegeta grabs Goku's pant legs and pull him down near his face. Then he whispers in a hoarse, almost crazed voice, "Kakarot, for Kami's sake, help me. Help me!"

Goku's eyes widen, "Veggie?" Vegeta's other hand slowly lifts up and suddenly pulls Goku's tail as hard as he can. Goku screams and drops the cake onto the floor, ruining it. Goku stares at the remnants of his dream cake with wide, tear-filled eyes, "Never even got a chance to taste it...Veggie, how could you?!"

Vegeta smirks and shrugs, "I've always wanted to do that." Then he yells in pain, and his eyes glaze over. Once he stands up again, Goku is once again looking into the face of Edward.

Edward almost immediately starts to freak out. He paces around the room in a frantic rush, "Oh no! Oh no! He almost took control again! How could I be so careless?! Wait, Eddy. Just calm down. Calm down. Calm down! Calm down! CALM DOWN! Okay, I'm not calming down. But I have to!!"

Goku watches Edward with a definite look of confusion on his face, "Where did Veggie go? Aren't you Veggie?"

Edward stops pacing and grabs the larger saiyajin's two arms, "Listen Kaka- Chan. Listen very well. I am not "Veggie." "Veggie" is gone. But I am so much better than "Veggie." "Veggie" wants to hurt you. I want you to be your friend. I want you to be happy. I'm better than him! Can't you understand that?!"

Goku says with wide, frightened eyes, "Uh...no..." scared by the crazed way Edward is acting.

Edward gets down onto his knees and holds Goku's pant legs, pleading desperately, "Please! Please! PLEASE! There has to be something that I can do! Anything!"

Goku says meekly, "Cake...?" Edward whips out an exact replica of the cake Goku had ruined earlier. Goku squeals happily, "Yay!" And pounces onto the cake, stuffing his face with it. He smiles contently, "Ohhh.... confectionery goodness."

Vegeta yells, powering up to ssj2 YOU TRAITOR!!! WHAT ABOUT ME?!! DON'T FORGET ME!!!

Edward asks eagerly, "Anything else I can do for you, dearest Kaka-Chan?"

Goku says thoughtfully, still stuffing his face with cake, "Hmmmm....Could you make my family love me again?"

Edward asks nervously, "H-how would you expect me to do that?"

Goku hangs his head sullenly, "Yeah, you're right. You probably have as much power to make them love me as you do to make them hate me."

Edward sighs a breath of relief and whispers, "Good."

The larger saiyajin asks, "What was that?"

Edward yelps, "Nothing!"

Goku rubs his chin thoughtfully, "Well...what else could you do?...Could you bring Veggie back?"

Edward yells, "NO!!!" Then he says to himself in a panic, "No! Calm down! Breathe Eddy! Breath!" He turns to the other saiyajin and says as calmly as possible, massaging his head with his hand, "Please try and think of something else, Kaka-Chan."

Goku thinks, {What would Eddy possibly give me? Privacy? Never. Unlimited supply of goodies? Already has. Freedom?} Goku asks, "Eddy? Will you let me leave this room?"

Edward falters, "W-what?" looking at Goku in surprise.

Goku says, "I've been cooped up in this dinky room for seven hours straight! If I don't get out soon I'll get cabin fever! I'll go crazy! I CAN'T TAKE THE THOUGHT OF IT ANYMORE!!!"

Edward sweatdrops, "Why didn't you say so before?" ".......Well it just occurred to me just now....."

Edward eyes him suspiciously, still not convinced, "But don't you sleep inside ten hours a day, Kaka-Chan?"

Goku says expertly, "I sleep outside. I only stay inside for the minimum amount of time needed to get my basic bodily needs. Eating, using the john, and fulfilling my daily dose of television."

Edward stares at him, "Oookay... Well then how 'bout you and I take a night on the town?"

Goku gives him his big sparkly eyes, "Really?!"

Edward nods, "Yup," blushing hard.

Goku bounces around the room excitedly, "Yes! Yes! Yes! Finally! Free of this room! Free to wander around endlessly for the rest of my days! Free of this drywall prison!" But suddenly he hears a strange jingle, then a clasping noise.

He looks up at his waving arms to see a big silvery bracelet around his wrist. Noticing a similar bracelet around the smaller saiyajin's wrist, to his horror, he realizes the two of them were connected together.

Goku shrieks, "AAACK! WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!"

Edward cocks his head and says stupidly, "What do you mean, Kaka-Chan?"

Goku points to the handcuffs, "These! What are these for?!"

Edward giggles, "Silly Kaka-Chan, it's so that we don't get separated." He hugs Goku, "I don't want my precious baby to get lost."

Goku thinks in disgust, {Or you just don't want me to run away. Hmmph, baby indeed.} He demands, "Where's the key, Eddy?"

Edward holds up a tiny little object in his hand, "You mean this?"

Goku says, "Yes, that! Now unlock this thing!" But instead Edward brings the key above his mouth. Goku yelps, "You wouldn't dare!"

A sneaky smile crosses Edward's face and he swallows the key whole. He sighs with satisfaction, "Ah...the sweet taste of success."

Goku yells, "You IDIOT!!! Now how are we suppose to get out of this?!!" Edward cocks his head and looks at Goku with a clueless expression on his face.

Goku suddenly comes to a horrible realization, {I don't believe it... Me n' Veggie's roles have completely switched. I'm being the grumpy one like Veggie is, and Eddy's being the idiot! Is it true that I was always this annoying?!}

He shakes his head and says calmly, trying to revert to his old self, "I'll forgive you this time for this "mistake," but I'm not going to wait for you to digest that key. I want out now." He starts pulling at the cuffs, but to his amazement and his horror, the metal stretched in his hands. Edward watches Goku's attempts, stifling his giggling.

Goku demands, "What the heck are these things made of?!"

Edward giggles, "Liquid metal. It's Bulma's latest invention. Made out of the hardest alloys of metal, but also engineered with the properties of rubber. And that makes it indestructible...even to a saiyajin...."

All color leaves Goku's face and he says meekly, "Even to a saiyajin...?"

Edward chirps, "Yup!"

Goku grabs Edward's shirt and screams in his face, "ARE YOU COMPLETELY INSANE?!! NOW WE'RE STUCK TOGETHER FOREVER!!!"

Completely unfazed by Goku's assault, Edward smiles and hugs him, "I know. Isn't it wonderful?"

Goku has a sudden vision of him and Edward as old crones, still stuck together by the handcuffs and arguing who gets the last piece of cheese. Goku yells, "NO! I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN!"

Goku pushes Edward away and turns ssj3 and pulls the chain as hard as he can, trying to snap it. Edward watches Goku strain himself and says calmly, "You know you won't be able to break that. But if you really want out, you'll just have to wait for the key to go through my digestive track. It's only ten hours."

Goku finally gives up and growls, "ONLY ten hours huh?"

Edward smiles, "Well, you can go outside now. And I can take you on a tour of the city! Won't that be fun?"

Goku says flatly, "I don't want to go out anymore." He thinks, {I don't want to be seen with this lunatic! Everyone'll think we're a couple!}

Edward giggles, "Silly Kaka-Chan. Don't you remember your cabin fever? It'll be good for you to go out." Then he starts pulling Goku towards the door.

Goku whines, "But I don't wanna..." But he is powerless against the smaller saiyajin's will.

************************************************************************

Mirai and Trunks look over Bulma's shoulder, curiously watching her concoct some sort of potion in her lab. Bulma carefully takes an eyedropper filled with green liquid and holds it over a beaker of pink liquid.

Mirai asks, "Mom? Are you sure this is safe?"

Bulma says offhandedly, "Of course it is. Please hand me the nitroglycerin, will you?"

Mirai sweatdrops, but Trunks complies with her request. Trunks says, "Here Mom," showing her a bottle.

Bulma says, "Thank you dear. Add a little to the beaker will you?"

Mirai asks, "You think he can handle the stuff?"

Trunks glares at him, and unknowingly pours the whole bottle into the pink goop. He realizes it too late and says, "Oops. Sorry."

Bulma says calmly, "It's okay, Trunks. It'll just be a bit more reactant, that's all."

Mirai yelps, "A little more reactant?! He just poured a whole stupid bottle of NITROGLYCERIN into the beaker!"

Bulma yells, "Mirai! Would ya shut it?! I'm trying to concentrate!" Bulma narrows her eyes and drops one drop of green liquid into the beaker. It suddenly makes a huge BOOM! and a mini-mushroom cloud ascends from the beaker in the shape of a skull. Both Trunks' gulp. Mirai glares at Trunks, who smiles cheesily and shrugs.

The potion turns a sickly yellow, and Bulma hold it up, saying cheerfully, "It's done!"

Trunks says skeptically, "That's suppose to turn that lunatic back into Dad?"

Mirai mutters, "You were all for it before." Then he sighs, "Mom, what is it, exactly?"

Bulma says, "Well, it's an old formula I found in your great-great-great- great-great uncle's old science books. It changes the drinker's personality to the total opposite of what it really is."

Trunks scratches his head, "I guess it would work."

Bulma snaps, "Of course it will!" She sighs, "It's a good thing Goku showed up, even if he is sick. We'd never be able to make this potion, if Goku didn't take up all of Edward's attention."

Mirai folds his arms and says, "I just really hope that Son-San is sick. What if what he's saying about Edward is true?"

They all look at each other and say simultaneously, "He's sick."

Trunks asks eagerly, "So who are we going test it on?"

Bulma rubs her chin thoughtfully, "Well, he has to be really predictable. And his personality has to be to the extreme."

Both Mirai and Trunks smile, "Piccolo."

Miyanon: Hey guys! Sorry for not updating so long. I moved to Indonesia! Kinky, huh! I didn't have my computer so that's why I couldn't update. *hugs the computer* I missed my little darling so much! Well anyway, I'm back! I'd like to thank Chuquita for the semi-annoying, semi-flattering e- mails that she sent me while I couldn't update. And I'd like to thank Galexz for sending even more annoying e-mails. And Leah for the rational ones.
