Quote of the Week: -from "Spongebob Squarepants"
Spongebob: The sign says kitchen, but my heart says jail.
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Hello and welcome to Part 4!
Goku: (grins) That's the chapter that comes after 3!
Chuquita: It's also the last chapter of "Anything You Say". The next story is going to be our Thanksgiving AND Halloween
special all in one!
Goku: (cocks an eyebrow) How can we celebrate two holidays in the same story?
Chuquita: Simple, since I had no time to think up a halloween fic this year, we're going to celebrate it in the Corner while
the fic itself is set during the Thanksgiving season.
Goku: (enlightened) Ahh...
Vegeta: (still wearing his party hat and kazoo from Part 3) *FWEEP*!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) You still have that?
Vegeta: (grins) *FWEEEEEEFWEEEFWEEEPPPPPPPEPEPEPEPEPEPEPEPEPE*
Goku: (giggles) Veggie said peepee.
Chuquita: Any particular reason you're still wearing your "party-gear".
Vegeta: *FWEEP* Not really. *FWEEP-FWEEP-FWEEP* Passes the time though.
Goku: Can _I_ play music on Veggie's little musical instrument?
Vegeta: You CAN, but you MAY NOT. [takes his kazoo out of his mouth] I'm not going to soil a perfectly good party favor with
Kaka-drool. ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S ALREADY BEEN IN _MY_ MOUTH!!!
Goku: (pouts) I don't mind if it's been in your mouth. I just wanna make the funny noises.
Vegeta: (snorts) [folds his arms] No!
Goku: (w/big sad sparkily eyes) But Veggie--
Vegeta: (embarassed) I SAID NO!!
Chuquita: Come on Vedge, he's not going to DESTORY it. Besides you don't have to use the kazoo afterward.
Vegeta: But, but I've already MARKED it with my own spittle! I can't have that mixing with Kakarrotto's PEASANT GOO!
Goku: (whimpers) (leans towards Veggie w/even bigger sparkily eyes) (sweetly) PwwwWWWEEEEEeeeeAAAAse, Veh-GEE?
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) [absent-mindedly reaches into a nearby bag of kazoos, pulls out a handful, and hands them to
Son]
Goku: YAY! [shoves all 10 kazoos into his mouth at once] Thank you Veggie! [blows all kazoos at once] *FWWEEEEEEP!!!*
Chuquita: (chuckles) Heh-heh, (glances over at Veggie, who's still glowing bright red and staring off into space) (sighs)
You'd think he'd be over the glowing thing by now?
Goku: Maybe little Veggie is waiting for me to thank him.
Chuquita: (looks at the intensity of the redness Veggie's face is radiating) Somehow I don't think that would be such a good
idea right about now.
Goku: Nonsense. [shoots chair over to Veggie's chair] (whispers into Veggie's ear) (happily) Thank you little Veggie!
Vegeta: (grins) Heeeeee.... [melts off his chair into a puddle of glowing red goo on the floor]
Goku: (to Chu) Veggie's always funny when he does that.
Chuquita: Personally I'm kind of curious as to how he does it.
Vegeta: (now solid again) [struggling to his feet] (smirks) Practice--YIPE! [falls down] [gets up a second time and sits back
down] It's harder getting it OUT of your system then getting it IN.
Goku: Heeheehee, [reaches out to poke Veggie in the stomach] Poking Veggie.
Vegeta: (glowing mildly) [stomach starts to wiggle a bit] Heh-heh, heheheheh-- [slaps Goku's hand away] STOP IT!! DO YOU WANT
ME TO LIQUIFY MYSELF OR WHAT!!!
Goku: Sorry Veggie. *FweepFWEEPfweep*
Vegeta: (flatly) Uh-huh.
Goku: *FweepfweepfweepFWEEPFWEEEEEEeeeEEee* [points to Veggie's kazoo]
Vegeta: (turns to Chu)
Chuquita: (shrugs)
Vegeta: *Fweep*
Goku: (grins) *FWEEPfweepfweepFWEEP*
Vegeta: *fweepfweepfweep*
Goku: *FWWEEEP?*
Vegeta: *FWEEP*
Goku: *Fwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeep* (wink)
Vegeta: [kazoo melts in his mouth and drops to the floor] (glowing) Uhhhh....
Chuquita: (to Veggie) (gawks) Whad he say to you?
Vegeta: (watches Son play a little melody to himself on his kazoo) (dazed) I don't think HE even knows what he said...
Chuquita: Well what did he SAY!
Vegeta: How should _I_ know! It was all a bunch of "fweeps" played together!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops)
Vegeta: But the way he PLAYED them.... (starts to glow mildly) Wow. Pure servant material.
Chuquita: Uh-huh....hey Vedge, care to introduce Part 4?
Vegeta: (smirks) Don't mind if I do. (to audiance) And now for the 'grand finale', audiance. Presenting Part 4!
Chuquita: (claps) Good job Veggie!
Vegeta: (grin) Heh.
Goku: *Fweep-fweep-fweep*!
Summary: Veggie makes a wish to Shenlong for Goku to become his servant-maid; saving him the trouble of having to create
any more evil plots. But what happens when the wish backfires and Veggie finds himself on the opposite end of his and Goku's
buddyship? Can the ouji deal with his new possessive and slightly manipulative servant-maid? Will he be able to somehow wish
Goku back to normal? And what happens when Chi-Chi finds out?!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Ahh, the lookout. So interesting, so nicely designed-- "
" --so high up. " Goku squeaked out, interupting Chi-Chi.
" What's the matter, you never had any problems coming up here before. " she looked at him oddly, " Or are
'servant-maids' forbidden to travel up this high? " Chi-Chi glared at the ouji under Goku's arm.
" No, it's not that, it's just, " Goku peered over the edge of the lookout and gulped, " Can you imagine what were to
happen to Veggie-sama if he fell off the edge of this place? He'd be KILLED INSTANTLY upon impact! " Goku gulped.
" Heh-heh-heh, yeah, he WOULD, wouldn't he.. " Chi-Chi mused.
" As much as I'm sure you'd enjoy witnessing my death as a sidewalk waffle, Onna, you're going to have to forget
about it. " Vegeta smirked, " I can FLY, remember. Unlike YOU. "
" I CAN TOO FLY YOU EVIL LITTLE OUJI! " she snapped at him.
" No, _I_ fly. YOU hover in a wobbily position. " the ouji retorted.
" Goku, drop him. " Chi-Chi said bluntly.
" WHAT?! " Goku shrieked, going ssj2, " HOW _DARE_ YOU!! " he backed up, huddling the ouji tight against him, " I
WOULD NEVER MURDER MY PRINCE!!! "
" Yeah, so buzz off, Onna. " Vegeta motioned her away, " So where's this big dinner you said Dende promised us? Or is
that another one of your LIES. "
" Oh YOU'RE one to talk about liars, Ouji. " Chi-Chi schoffed, " And Goku he is NOT your prince!! "
" IS TOO!! " the still ssj2 snarled wildly at her. Vegeta looked visibly nervous of the larger saiyajin's mental
state.
" Forgot about Kakay's "loyalty" to me again, eh Onna? " Vegeta grinned.
Chi-Chi sighed, ignoring the fact that Vegeta was right, " Come on Goku, the dinner's in the building. Bring the
Ouji. "
" So you can try to MURDER HIM YOURSELF! HA!! " Goku laughed mockingly at her, then pulled out a capsule and threw it
to the ground. The puff of smoke revealed a pink leash reading "Son Goku's little baby" on it. The ouji's eyes popped out of
his head and before he could say anything he found himself wearing the leash, collar, and tied to one of the pillars on the
lookout, an agitated look on his face, " There we go! Doesn't widdle Veggie wook so cyute in his bwand new cowwar? " the
larger saiyajin squealed in baby-talk as he tugged at the ouji's face cheek. Vegeta twitched.
" Kakarrotto have you lost your mind. " he said flatly.
" Listen little Veggie-sama, you need to stay here so mean 'ol Chi-chan doesn't come out and try to kill you! " Goku
explained.
" HER KILL _ME_?! KAKARROTTO I COULD DESTROY ONNA WITH MY PINKY FINGER! I ONLY CHOOSE NOT TO BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO
HURT YOUR LITTLE RELATIONSHIP WITH ME SO I DON'T JEOPARDIZE OUR FUTURE!! " Vegeta yelled in defense.
" Whatever you say Veggie-sama. " Goku replied sweetly, rubbing the ouji on the head, " Now you be a good boy while I
go have my special snack! Bye! " he said, then skipped off.
" Hmmph! " Vegeta snorted, then frowned and looked down at his own stomach, then back in the direction Goku was
leaving in, " But what about me? " he pouted, " Kakay? HEY, KAKARROTTO I'M HUNGRY TOO!! "
" Heh-heh-heh. "
The ouji looked up to see Chi-Chi dangling a candy bar infront of him, snickering evilly. Vegeta smirked at her, lept
to his feet, and ran straight after her only to suddenly yelp in surprise and fall to the ground, choking.
" HAHAHAHA! STUPID OUJI! " Chi-Chi laughed at him, then walked off, tossing the candy bar over her shoulder towards
the dizzy prince.
" Ehhhh.. " Vegeta groaned, rubbing his neck in pain, " WHO'S CRUEL JOKE WAS THIS ONE!! " he yelled upward, angrily;
then noticed the candy bar and grinned, " Baka Onna, leaving it out in plain sight. " he rubbed his hands together, then
reached out only to discover the candy bar was just out of his leash's range of freedom. Two more inches and the candy would
have been his. Vegeta sweatdropped, " KAKARROTTO!!!! "
" Where's all the food? This looks awfully suspicious. It better not be a trick, Chi-chan. " Goku said, looking
around the empty room with the exception of what looked like a check-in desk for a hotel.
" Kaasan where is everybody? " Gohan asked.
" I'm...not sure. " she scratched her head, confused. Bulma, meanwhile, had taken the initiative to walk up to the
desk and ring the small bell ontop of it.
" HELLO! " she called out, " DENDE! PICCOLO! MR-- "
" --Popo is at your service. " Popo nodded, suddenly appearing behind the desk. Bulma looked around, confused as to
how he had just done that.
" Mr. Popo we need to see Dende right away! " Bulma pleaded, " It's about Son-kun. "
Mr. Popo looked past Bulma and sweatdropped at the large saiyajin in the french-maid-ish-looking costume, " Oh dear,
Mr. Popo is afraid Mr. Popo will have to wash Mr. Popo's eyes out with soap for a very long time after THIS particular
incident. " he said in shock, then turned around and opened the door behind him, " DENDE! YOUR ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED! BULMA IS
WORRIED, CHI-CHI IS MAD, AND SON GOKU IS WEARING A DRESS!! "
" Skirt. " Goku corrected him.
" SKIRT! " Mr. Popo shouted loudly into the door.
Bulma sweatdropped, " _I_ could have done THAT. "
" Ohh man, Mr. Popo don't yell so LOUD. " Dende yawned, emerging from the room still in his pajamas and night-cap. He
was holding his ears to stop them from ringing, " What could POSSIBLY be so IMPORTANT that-- " he froze, his eyes turning
towards Goku, who smiled politely at Dende and did a little curtsy for him.
" ... "
" ... "
Dende turned to Bulma, his shock wearing off, " What did he do THIS time? " the young namek said, bored.
" Goku? " Mr. Popo blinked, baffled.
" Vegeta. " Dende and Bulma sighed at the same time.
" He snuck out of the house a couple nights ago and made a wish with the dragonballs for Shenlong to give Son-san a
great passionate desire to become Vegeta's servant-maid. " Bulma groaned, " It kind of backfired to say the least and now
Goku's ordering Vegeta around and basically treating him like a combination baby/pet. "
" I made Veggie-sama a little bonnet! " Goku said sweetly, holding the handmade object up, " It'll keep his lil head
all nice-n-warm-n-toasty when it's cold out. I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY IT ON HIM!! " the large saiyajin squealed with delight,
hugging the bonnet.
" Wow, Vegeta really messed him up THIS time! " Dende gawked.
" No...kidding... " Chi-Chi said flatly.
" So. " Bulma looked down at Dende.
" So? "
" Umm, you wouldn't happen to have a way to change Goku-san back NOW instead of having to wait a year, would you? "
Bulma asked uneasily.
" As a matter of fact, I do. " Dende smiled, grabbing a nearby phone and dialing several numbers.
" GREETINGS MORTALS. YOU HAVE REACHED THE ETERNAL DRAGON'S HOTLINE. " Shenlong's voice boomed over the phone,
" Please wait for our next available operator to place your call. " a woman's voice added. Elevator music began to play from
the telephone. The Sons and Bulma instantly sweatdropped and fell over at the same time.
" Uh, Dende? Since when has there been an "eternal dragon's hotline"? " Gohan spoke up, very very confused.
" Oh I had it installed shortly after the Cell Games. " Dende said casually, " Just in case of emergancies you know.
Vegeta-san was highly unstable the first two years after Son-san blew himself up. I didn't want him making any weird wishes
without me being able to stop them. "
" Little Veggie-sama wasn't THAT unstable after I exploded, was he, Bulma? " Goku asked sadly.
" HA! YOU weren't the one who had to listen to him through those 7 years staring out his bedroom window saying "Don't
forget about Kakay's chair, Bulma, I know he'll be here to celebrate my birthday with me THIS time!". " she glared at Goku,
folding her arms.
Goku stared at her, devastated, " Oh....VEH-GEE! " he sniffled, hugging the bonnet tightly, " I'm so SORRY little
Veggie! YOU MUST'VE HURT SO MUCH!! " the large saiyajin wailed sorrowfully, " I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU AGAIN I PROMISE!! "
Chi-Chi watched Goku continue to cry into the bonnet while pleading for his prince to forgive him. She sweatdropped
and turned to Dende, " How much longer till our call gets put through? "
" Umm, on average it can take anywhere from 5 minutes-- "
Chi-Chi sighed with relief.
" --to 10 days. "
The group sweatdropped.
" This is going to be a long wait. " Gohan groaned, sitting down on the floor.
Bulma wryly pointed to the phone, " At least we have some snappy music. "
" Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doodadoodoodadadoo. " Piccolo whistled to himself
as he flew back to the lookout and landed only to see a very odd sight at the far end of the platform. There was Vegeta
attached to one of Kami's castle's pillars via a dog-leash and desperately trying to reach out to grab what looked like a
candy bar. The tall namek stared blankly for a moment, then cringed when it hit him.
" Goku's here. " he grimaced, " And if Goku's here the kitchen's bound to be in shreds by now. " Piccolo groaned,
then noticed the sign pasted to the pillar just above Vegeta which read "Goku's little Veggie!" in big cute puffy
bubble-letters. Beneath that sign there was another, more menacing sign reading "TOUCH AND DIE at the hands of Son Goku!!!"
Piccolo walked up to Vegeta, then smirked at the candy bar and kicked it slightly towards the starving ouji. Vegeta grinned
and reached out to grab it only to have Piccolo step on his hand and kick the candy bar across the lookout.
" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! " the tall namek laughed loudly as he entered Dende's house. Vegeta twitched angrily.
" YOU WAIT'LL KAKAY HEARS ABOUT THAT! HE'LL RIP YOUR ANTENEE CLEAR OFF YOUR HEAD!! " Vegeta screamed, enraged.
" SURE HE WILL, you big baby. " Piccolo commented to himself, " I wonder what Dende and Popo are doing.. " he trailed
off as he walked into the house.
Vegeta stared at the candy bar, which was now completely out of his reach and pouted, " Kakay....KAKAY!!! "
" VEGGIE'S IN TROUBLE! " Goku gasped, bolting to attention. The group was still waiting to be put through by the
next operator.
" I don't get it, who else could possibly be using this line. " Gohan said. Everyone stared at him, " I mean, we're
the ONLY ONES who even USE the dragonballs--WE'RE THE ONLY ONES WITH A PHONE TO THIS LINE!!! "
" Welcome to Shenlong's Wishing Service. " the same woman's voice from before said in a pleasant tone, " To learn
about services offered here press 1. In order to retract a previous wish to the dragon, press 2. If you want to order a
breakfast platter, press 3. If you are a saiyajin named Son Goku or Vegeta Oujisama, hang up now. "
Chi-Chi smirked, " I like _THIS_ phone service. "
" OOH! OOH! PRESS 3, DENDE! PRESS 3! " Goku said eagerly. Dende sweatdropped and pressed 2, " Awww.. " Goku pouted,
depressed.
" YOU HAVE PRESSED 2! STATE YOUR NAME AND THE WISH YOU WISH TO RETRACT. " Shenlong's voice boomed.
Dende sighed, " Shenlong? "
" Oh. Hi Dende. " the dragon said in a normal echoless, yet still very deep voice.
" Shenlong I've got Son Goku in here wearing a skirt and serving beverages to the group here--thanks-- " Dende took
a glass of soda off the platter Goku was carrying around, " and I was just wondering... "
" Yes I granted Vegeta two wishes. " Shenlong groaned, " Wait--did you say a skirt? "
" Mini-skirt. " Dende grimaced.
" He WAS a little trigger-happy; wish-wise I mean. " Shenlong muttered to himself, " I don't suppose we can make a
new rule to forbid the dragonballs to be used in his possession? "
" That'd take up too much power, we'd be limited back to one wish. " Dende said sadly.
" Oh well. " Shenlong shrugged from over the phone, then coughed loudly and cleared his throat, " STATE THE WISH YOU
WISH TO UNWISH, MORTALS!! " he said in his usual booming tone.
Dende nodded to the group for them to come closer.
" Finally! " Chi-Chi clasped her hands together happily, " The nightmare comes to an end. "
Gohan nodded in agreement.
" What are we supposed to do first, Dende? " Bulma asked him.
" Well we just tell Shenlong over the phone which wish we want him to undo and it instantly becomes null and void. "
the young namek explained.
" Wow? It's that simple? " she smiled, " Say Dende, where does Shenlong go when he's not granting our wishes
anyway? "
" FLORIDA. " Shenlong replied from on the phone, " SOMETIMES EUROPE. SOME PEOPLE CLAIM ME TO BE THE LOCKNESS
MONSTER. "
" Where are you now? "
" DETROIT. "
Bulma cocked an eyebrow and turned to Dende, " Detroit? "
" Don't ask. " Dende sighed.
" Oh, well...SHENLONG, WE WISH TO RETRACT THE PAST TWO WISHES VEGETA MADE THE OTHER NIGHT! " Bulma shouted into the
phone.
" Umm, you can only 'retract' one wish at a time. " Dende said.
" WHAT?! " Bulma, Gohan, and Chi-Chi gawked.
" The other wish is going to have to wait the full year when we can summon Shenlong again. " Dende explained.
" I _KNEW_ this was too good to be true. " Chi-Chi grumbled, folding her arms.
" Dende? What was the other wish Vegeta made. He wouldn't tell me. " Bulma asked him.
Dende sighed, " Immortality for Goku and himself. "
Bulma sweatdropped, then slapped herself on the forehead, " I _KNEW_ he was going to wish himself immortal. He'd been
blabbing about it since we first met him until he stopped and began blabbing about defeating "Kakarrotto" instead. "
" YOU MEAN THAT EVIL LITTLE OUJI'S NOW INVISIBLE!!! " Chi-Chi shrieked in horror.
" Afraid so. " Dende chuckled nervously, " At least till next year....buh--but look at the bright side, Goku is too.
If Vegeta tries anything, he can always stop him! "
" Somehow that doesn't put me at ease. " Chi-Chi glanced over at Goku, who was presently knitting a little pair of
mittens for the ouji, " But if we have to choose between the two...SHENLONG! WE KNOW WHICH WISH WE'RE GOING TO UNDO!! " she
yelled in the direction of the phone just as Piccolo casually walked in, only to have Goku zip over to him and hand him a
soft drink in a glass. The tall namekian sweatdropped, then shrugged and sipped from the glass.
" MAKE YOUR WISH KNOWN NOW! " Shenlong's voice exploded over the lookout. Vegeta bolted in alarm, " I WILL UNDO ONE
OF YOUR LAST TWO PREVIOUS WISHES!! "
" AHH! WHAT THE-- " Vegeta shrieked, then paused, " --ONNA! SHE TRICKED US!!! " he grabbed his leash and desperately
tried to pull it apart, only to find it stuck tight. The ouji then sweatdropped and embarassingly raised one hand to his
forehead and teleported out of the leash and across to the other side of the lookout, " WAIT'LL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU YOU
WITCH!! " he screamed in anger, ran into the house, then ran back out, grabbed the candy bar from before, ate it, and ran
back in the house for the second time, " ONNA!!! " he yelled as he entered the room the others were in.
" Hello Veggie-sama. " Goku said sweetly as the ouji dashed by, " Drink? "
" NOT NOW KAKARROTTO!! " Vegeta shouted over his shoulder, leaving behind a very confused servant maid. Goku cocked
his head.
" Huh. "
" SHENLONG! TWO DAYS AGO THE OUJI MADE A WISH FOR GOKU TO BECOME HIS 'SERVANT-MAID'! I WANT YOU TO UNDO THAT WISH! "
Chi-Chi said into the phone.
Suddenly a bright light burst forth from the bottom speaker of the phone and engulfed the entire room. It then
dissipated.
" YOUR WISH HAS BEEN UNDONE. I'M OFF TO THE CASINOS, I BID THEE WELL! " Shenlong's voice echoed in the
all-to-familiar way and the phone line went dead. Dende hung up.
" Well...did it, work? " Chi-Chi said outloud.
" YOU BAKAYAROES!! " an angry voice came from behind them. Chi-Chi turned around, smirking at a furious Vegeta.
" Ouji. " she snickered.
" ONNA I SHOULD KILL YOU! I SHOULD HAVE KAKARROTTO KILL YOU! BETTER YET THE BOTH OF US SHOULD KILL YOU AT ONCE!!! "
he raged, an anger vein on his forehead.
" Somehow I doubt MY Goku is going to help you kill me anytime soon, Ouji. " Chi-Chi nodded, then pointed to Goku,
who was standing there still holding the platter of drinks, yet looking slightly clueless as to why he was there. He smiled
down at one of the Pepsi cans, shoved the whole thing in his mouth, chewed twice, swallowed, and spit the can out empty.
" HEEeee, the soda of Veggies. " he giggled, then noticed the rest of the group and dropped the platter to the ground
, " HELLO EVERYBODY! " Goku said excitedly, then turned to Chi-Chi, " So, Chi-chan, where is the buffet you told me I was
gonna get? "
" At home. " she smiled, " You might wanna change first though. "
" Change? " Goku looked down and everything suddenly came hurling back at him. He narrowed his eyes at Vegeta, who
only replied with a nervous, cheesy grin. The larger saiyajin walked over to him, took the maid-hat off his head, and placed
it ontop of the ouji's instead, " VEGGIE _USED_ ME! " he glared angrily, " You made me wear that creepy dress and serve you
goodies through a spoon and want to spoil you till you were chubby and helpless without MY CONSTANT LOVE AND CARE! You wished
me into your servitude and made me be your little Veggie-love-slave!! "
" I, I wouldn't say "Veggie-love-slave". It's, it's called a servant-maid. " Vegeta said uneasily.
" I _KNOW_ what it's called, Veggie. " Goku said stubbornly, turning his back to the ouji and folding his arms, " To
think you'd rather have me as your "servant-maid" than your big buddy...that really HURTS Veggie. "
" Yeah, ya jerk. " Chi-Chi added. Vegeta only glare at her.
" Little Veggie how COULD you! " the larger saiyajin sniffled, turning to him and bending down to Vegeta's height,
" I thought you LOVED me... "
" Uhh....uhhh... " Vegeta stammered, nervous sweat dripping down the side of his face, " Of COURSE I...love you,
Kaka-chan. " he began to glow bright red, his eyes tightly shut.
" Really, little Veggie? " Goku looked down at him, uncertain.
" Yes, and, you see I learned something very important here today. " the ouji grabbed both of his peasant's hands.
Bulma groaned, knowing one of the prince's over-dramatic storylines before the actual story even started. Chi-Chi, meanwhile
rolled her eyes. Gohan and Piccolo had found an old checkers set and were sitting on the floor playing it and ignoring the
two saiyajin's emotional conversation.
" Kakay, it's WRONG for me to force you into servant-hood to me. Doing it that way means nobody wins. If you're being
forced to do it I won't really know the true glorious feeling that comes with the moment you decide on your own free will to
become my servant-maid. And you won't be able to be the best servant-maid you can be to your prince because if your choices
won't be purely your own while keeping me comfortable, warm, and safe. I apologize. " he hugged the larger saiyajin's hands.
" Does that mean you're going to stop trying to make me your servant-maid once and for all? " Goku smiled meekly.
" HECK NO! It just means that I'm going to have to make the position look more inviting to you from now on. " Vegeta
replied, smiling widely, " For instance, if you decide to come home with me and take your rightful kaka-job back right now
I'll pay you in fish and fancy pastries and give you your own bed on the other side of my room. "
Goku sweatdropped, then glared again at the ouji and pulled his hands free, " Come on Chi-chan, we're going home. "
" YAY! Haha! " Chi-Chi cheered, then blew a raspberry at Vegeta and clung to Goku's arm happily. The larger saiyajin
looked down and ripped off his servant-maid uniform, throwing it to the ground infront of Vegeta. Goku was now left wearing
his boxer shorts. He placed his fingers on his forehead and teleported them off the lookout. Leaving a devastated little ouji
behind. Vegeta looked down at his peasant's lovingly created servant-maid uniform and gingerly picked it up; rubbing it with
his hand.
" Kakay.... " Vegeta trailed off.
" Come on, Vegeta, I'll fly us home. " Bulma smiled, patting him on the shoulder and taking out her airplane capsule,
" Gohan do you need a lift? " she called to the young demi-saiyajin, who was still in the checkers match against Piccolo.
" Hmm? No thanks Bulma, I'll fly home myself once we're done here. " he moved one of the checkers and hopped two of
Piccolo's.
" Alright, if you say so. " she said, concerned, then grabbed the sad ouji by the arm, " Let's go 'your highness',
you've caused enough trouble for one day. "
Vegeta hugged the uniform tightly, " Ohh... " he sighed as he headed into the airplane, followed by Bulma. The duo
took off in the direction of Capsule Corp.
" You see this is exactly why I live up here now. " Piccolo said while studying the checkerboard, " After those 3
years living at the Son home I'm surprise I'm still sane. " he moved his chip, " Checkmate. "
" Wha--WHAT?! " Gohan gawked at the board, " HEY! YOU CAN'T JUMP THAT WAY! THAT'S CHEATING! "
" Is not. "
" IT IS TOO! "
" Not on Planet Namek, boy. "
" WELL IT IS HERE! "
" IS NOT! "
" IS TOO! "
" IS NOT! "
" IS TOO! "
Dende and Mr. Popo sweatdropped at Piccolo and Gohan's argument, " Mr. Popo is beginning to think Mr. Popo should get
Dende and Mr. Popo's earplugs from the closet. "
" Yes, please do that. " Dende groaned, " I have a feeling this is going to last a while. "
2 Days Later...
" Wow! Go-chan you're STILL out here? " Chi-Chi said, surprised as she left their house and walked over to the nearby
river where the large saiyajin was currently scrubbing himself clean and leaving huge puddles of soap bubbles throughout the
stream, " It's 11:00am! You've been in there for 3 hours!! I'm glad you've finally started worring about keeping clean but
this is ridiculous! "
" I'm trying to wash away the stench of embarassment. " Goku groaned as he continued massaging the shampoo into his
hair.
" Still smell like Ouji, eh? " Chi-Chi said flatly.
" Mmm-hmm. " he nodded sadly, " I don't think I've ever been this humiliated EVER! " the large saiyajin exclaimed,
" Do you know how embarassing it is to look back on the past 4 days knowing I spent a full 48 hours of my life wearing that
creepy dress and obediently obeying little Veggie's every whim and calling him Veggie-sama and--*sigh*! " Goku let out a
frustrated sigh.
" I wouldn't say you obeyed the Ouji's EVERY whim. " Chi-Chi replied, then smirked, " Making him wear that diaper was
pretty funny though. "
" I wouldn't know, I don't remember half the stuff I did while under that wish. " Goku cringed.
" Believe me, you didn't do anything sick with the Ouji beyond hugging him a little lower than usual. " Chi-Chi sat
down, trying to make him feel better.
" Really? " Goku blinked, then grinned, " You mean Veggie didn't make me smooch him or bow at his feet or anything
truely creeply like THAT? "
Chi-Chi nodded.
" Oh Chi-chan! " he teleported out of the river and hugged her tightly, " You made me feel oh-so-much better now. My
reputation and body have not been tarnished after all. "
" Mmmhmmhmm, " Chi-Chi giggled, a blush line over her nose, " You're welcome sweetie. " she hugged back.
" ... "
" ... "
" OH NO! " Goku gasped suddenly, " LITTLE VEGGIE! "
" What about "little Veggie"? " Chi-Chi said dryly as Goku let go of her.
" Chi-chan if it was the wish making me act like that all that time....then it's not really Veggie's fault AFTER all!
And I made him sad... " Goku trailed off.
" HOW IS IT _NOT_ THE OUJI'S FAULT! HE MADE THE WISH! " Chi-Chi pointed out, slightly ticked.
" No, it isn't directly. How many times have we accidentally messed up wishes by not phrasing them down to the last
detail. Veggie made a vague statement that was granted only by Shenlong's interpretation of what HE THOUGHT Veggie meant! "
the saiyajin explained, then gasped, " And now little Veggie's heart must be torn into little bitty PIECES! "
" ... " Chi-Chi blinked, " So? "
" Chi-chan I've GOT to apologize to my little buddy for me being such a meathead to him! Who KNOWS what Veggie could
do if he's depressed! " Goku exclaimed.
" He tried to hang himself once, that was funny. " Chi-Chi laughed a bit, reminacing, " "I'm coming for you Kakay!",
"Please wait for me!" HA! That moron, he would've ended up in the H.F.I.L. if he had succeeded anyway. "
" MY LITTLE VEGGIE IS TRYING TO HANG HIMSELF!! " Goku shrieked, " WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER! I GOTTA STOP HIM
BEFORE HE REALLY HURTS HIMSELF!! " he placed his fingers on his forehead, terrified and ready to teleport.
" NO! GOKU NO NO NO! HE'S NOT DOING THAT _NOW_!! " Chi-Chi frantically waved her arms in the air. Goku stopped, " It
was just one of the many MANY random stages he went through after your second demise. " she explained, " We stopped him
through. Told him you were at the front door. The evil little Ouji unlatched himself from the noose and went running while
Bulma, Mirai and I got rid of the rope. "
" But I never visited little Veggie until I came back. " Goku looked at her, confused.
" I know THAT. You weren't REALLY at the front door, we just said that so he wouldn't take that running leap off the
stepladder. You should've seen the look on his face when he ripped the door clear off its hinges only to see no one was
there. " she grinned evilly, " Fell to his knees and started bawling at the top of his lungs! " she laughed. Goku's eyes
began to water, " I even took pictures. " Chi-Chi said happily, " 10 seconds later he flew off in a sudden rage and blew up
a licorice factory. "
" POOR _VEGGIE_! " Goku sniffled, " I didn't know he'd loose his fragile little mind. "
" Well, he did. " she shrugged it off, then snorted, " Mirai made me hand over one of your spare gi's to the little
sicko and that kept him quiet and locked up in his room for a good 'nother month. "
" I don't want Veggie to loose his mind again Chi-chan. I'M GOING TO APOLOGIZE TO HIM _RIGHT_ _NOW_! " Goku said,
determind.
" NO NO NO WAIT!!! "
" What is it NOW! " Goku pouted, angry.
" Your clothes Goku, your clothes! " Chi-Chi held up one of his gi's and groaned, " The last thing I want is you to
beg for the Ouji's forgiveness in your birthday suit. " she cringed. Goku grabbed his gi and quickly got it on.
" Alright, NOW I'm going to apologize to little Veggie! " he prepared to teleport, " Bye-bye Chi-chan! See you in a
lil bit! " Goku winked, then disappeared.
Chi-Chi sighed and fell to her knees, " What am I gonna do with him... "
" Oh lit-tle VEH-GEEE! I HAVE COME TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU! " Goku said, knocking on the door to Capsule Corp, " I COME
BEARING GIFTS! " he shouted, then opened to door to find the living room and kitchen completely empty, " Little Veggie? "
he started to breathe faster and gulped, " Veh-veh-Veggie? " horrific images appeared in Goku's mind of an already-hung ouji
dangling from the ceiling fan in his room. Goku ran wildly up the stairs to Vegeta's bedroom, " VEGGIE! VEGGIE DON'T DO IT
VEGGIE I STILL LOVE--you. " Goku blinked in confusion and mild relief to see Vegeta sitting on his bed stroking Goku's
still-tattered servant-maid uniform, " ...hi. " the larger saiyajin said meekly.
" ... "
" ... "
Goku bit his lip and walked to the bed and sat down a couple feet away from the ouji only to discover Vegeta was not
merely stroking the uniform but sowing its ripped pieces back together. Goku's shoulders sunk in guilt and he turned his head
away from the ouji, " OH boy.. " his eyes bulged out of his head as the guilt instantly became even heavier. He swallowed
uneasily, " Little Veggie, I am sorry for being mean to you. I did a bad thing. Little buddies aren't to be taken for granted
like that. "
" ... "
" I, brought you some ice cream...in a bucket this time. And, and you can eat it anyway you like I won't spoon-feed
you or anything crazy like that I PROMISE! " Goku said, holding out the carton of strawberry ice cream.
" Thread. " Vegeta held his hand out. Goku looked at him, puzzled, then noticed a spool of black thread beside him
and handed it to the prince, who continued his work mending the servant-maid uniform.
" Veggie forgive me? " Goku plopped his head sideways on the top of the carton and stared at the ouji w/big sparkily
eyes. Vegeta glanced over at him and sweatdropped.
" Yes, Kakarrotto, I forgive you. " he groaned.
" YAY! " Goku cheered, throwing his arms up in the air, " Veggie forgives me and I forgive Veggie and we are on happy
terms with each other once a-gain! " he dropped the ice cream bucket to the floor, grabbed Vegeta and hugged him, " I missed
you Veggie! "
" I....uhh, missed you too, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta glowed mildly, a little uneasy, yet still content with the fact that
Goku's manner of hugging was once again back to normal, " And, thanks for the ice cream. "
" Heeheehee. " Goku grinned widely, letting go of Vegeta and picking up the carton, " It is strawberry without a hint
of choc-o-late little Veggie, just how you like it! " he handed it over to the smaller saiyajin.
" I suppose I should get this to the fridge before it melts into a liquid, huh. " Vegeta said, examining the case.
" Yup! " Goku nodded happily, " I'm gonna make such a great future princess, Veggie. "
The ouji facefaulted, " What, did you say? "
" I said I'm gonna make a great future princess. " the large saiyajin grinned.
" ...you mean "servant-maid". " Vegeta narrowed his eyes.
" No, no. I mean princess. "
" Kakarrotto... " the ouji gritted his teeth warningly.
" Come on Veggie! After everything that's happened do you REALLY still want me to be your future "servant-maid"? "
Goku looked at him skeptically, " Now if you made me your PRINCESS things would be completely different! "
" You can say THAT again. " Vegeta muttered.
" Yeah, I could get my own golden crown and big flowing cape; like Piccolo's only even cooler; and we could buy a
whole bunch of matching stuff like 'ouji' and 'oujo' t-shirts and get 10% discounts at the mall during the
royalty-gets-10%-off sale, and-- "
" --there IS no "royalty-gets-10%-off sale", Kakarrotto. " Vegeta growled, a vein bulging on his forehead.
" Maybe would could make funny little nicknames for ourselves on our new royalty t-shirts too. " Goku continued
on happily, unfazed by Vegeta's evident frustration, " You know, like "Oujita" or "Kakarroujo". Something cute like that! "
" Get out of my room, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta snarled, folding his arms.
" You mean, Kakarroujo? " Goku grinned cheesily.
" OUT!! " the ouji screamed at the top of his lungs, " OUT OF MY ROOM! NOW!! " Goku nervously lept to his feet and
dashed out of the room. Vegeta angrily slammed the door in his face, " OOHH!! "
Goku peeked his head in the doorway, still grinning, " Bye-bye, Oujita! " he giggled.
" GRRR--*YIPE*! " Vegeta yelped as Goku closed the door on the prince's hand, then skipped off, laughing.
Vegeta pulled his hand back out from between the door and whimpered, " Where's a servant-maid when you NEED one! "

THE END
Chuquita: YAY! Two chapters done in one week! I'm back on schedule!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Who's to say you were OFF schedule?
Chuquita: Nobody, it's just that as the chapters of my stories get longer and longer it takes more time to finish them and
thereby makes it harder for me to get more than one chapter done and uploaded in the same week. I used to be able to get up
to 3 chapters ready in one week, but that was back when most of my chapters were around 30KB instead of 50KB.
Goku: (giggles) Heeheehee, "Oujita". I like that.
Chuquita: (grins) Thanks, thought 'um both up off the top of my head.
Goku: It's nice, but I still love saying LITTLE VEGGIE so much MORE! (grins at Veggie; who shifts uneasily in his chair)
(giggle) Veggie so cute.
Chuquita: OH! Just a lil reminder that Vejitto (fusion baby #1) is making his first appearance in the animé in a couple of
weeks.
Goku: (cheers) YAY FOR JI-CHAN!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) ...
Chuquita: Also, a while ago I sent a poem in for T-sama's "I Cried" pov-poem-fic where it had a bunch of the dbz characters
and their reactions to Veggie's first death-- (turns to Veggie) You know that sounds odd saying that, your "first" death.
Vegeta: (smirks) Yeah, well.
Goku: Veggie was kinda brought back by accident.
Vegeta: (eyes water) You mean, you didn't WANT me back? Kakay?
Goku: (startled) NO VEGGIE NO! I missed you very very much! Not as much as I would miss you if you were to get knocked off
right NOW, but I DID miss you.
Vegeta: (back-to-normal) Good. That's better.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Anyway, I sent in this poem for it from Son-kun's pov and it was posted on Sunday. So if anybody
wants to see my one-shot at a pov-poem-angstish kinda fic, take a look at it. If you don't want to, heck go read something
else after this, I'm not forcing ya. (grin)
Vegeta: Subliminal messaging, Chu?
Chuquita: (shrugs) Eh. As for the next story's Corner, you probably know already. (happily) We're back to doing the theme
thing in the Corners--
Goku: --and the next one is for HALLOWEEN! (toots little horn from before) *FWEEP*! (points to himself) _I'M_ gonna be a
scuba-diver!
Vegeta: (snickers) _I'M_ going to a KING!
Chuquita: And I'm going to be--the person giving out chocolate and candy. [holds up bag of M&M's]
Goku: YAY! CANDY! [grabs the whole bag out of Chu's hands]
Chuquita: ...
Vegeta: (smirks at her) You're gonna need a LOT of candy.
Chuquita: I noticed. Here's the summary for the next yet-to-be-titled fic!
Chi-blind; Chi-Chi interupts Goku and Veggie during the worst possible time of their sparring match and ends up in the
direct path of a solar flare. After a visit to Capsule Corp, Bulma is certain Chi-Chi has been permanently blinded. But is
she right? Chi-Chi hopes not because Vegeta is using every chance he gets to drive her further and further to the brink of
insanity? Will she lose her mind before she regains her vision? Find out!
Chuquita: (to Veggie) I wanted to choose one from my list of upcoming fics that didn't mess with any of the characters
heads this time. I'm still trying to get everything back to normal after "Veggie Wins?!". (glares at Veggie)
Vegeta: (grins) Don't blame me, blame future me!
Goku: And future ME!
Chuquita: (sighs) Oh well.
Goku: (narrows his eyes) And how is making Chi-chan BLIND a normal thing?
Chuquita: Oh-kay, maybe it's not "normal" but how many of these stories ARE?
Goku: None.
Chuquita: See! The Thanksgiving tie-in comes in because that's the time of year this next fic takes place in. Can you
imagine being the one who cooks up the big Thanksgiving dinner every year and suddenly lose your ability to even see what
you're holding, not to mention working with?
Vegeta: (evil smile) Onna BLIND, huh?
Chuquita: (warningly correcting Veggie) TEMPORARILY blind.
Vegeta: And she can't sense ki very well, can she?
Goku: (surprised) Chi-chan can sense ki?
Vegeta: (big evil grin) Ahh the possibilites...Onna can't fulfill certain obligations to Kakay if she can't see him. And
if she can't see or sense any of us that would mean she's forced to rely on what she HEARS. (snickers) INteresting...
Goku: Veggie better not be thinking any bad thoughts.
Vegeta: (fake-gasp) BAD _THOUGHTS_! _ME_!
Chuquita: (groans) Oh brother. (to audiance) We'll see you next time, everybody!
Goku: May the fruits of your labor be rich in protein!
Vegeta: (snickering; rubbing his hands together maniacally) Heh-heh-heh, "bad thoughts", ME, heh-heh-heh...

Quote of the Week: -from "Spongebob Squarepants"
Spongebob: The sign says kitchen, but my heart says jail.
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Hello and welcome to Part 4!
Goku: (grins) That's the chapter that comes after 3!
Chuquita: It's also the last chapter of "Anything You Say". The next story is going to be our Thanksgiving AND Halloween
special all in one!
Goku: (cocks an eyebrow) How can we celebrate two holidays in the same story?
Chuquita: Simple, since I had no time to think up a halloween fic this year, we're going to celebrate it in the Corner while
the fic itself is set during the Thanksgiving season.
Goku: (enlightened) Ahh...
Vegeta: (still wearing his party hat and kazoo from Part 3) *FWEEP*!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) You still have that?
Vegeta: (grins) *FWEEEEEEFWEEEFWEEEPPPPPPPEPEPEPEPEPEPEPEPEPE*
Goku: (giggles) Veggie said peepee.
Chuquita: Any particular reason you're still wearing your "party-gear".
Vegeta: *FWEEP* Not really. *FWEEP-FWEEP-FWEEP* Passes the time though.
Goku: Can _I_ play music on Veggie's little musical instrument?
Vegeta: You CAN, but you MAY NOT. [takes his kazoo out of his mouth] I'm not going to soil a perfectly good party favor with
Kaka-drool. ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S ALREADY BEEN IN _MY_ MOUTH!!!
Goku: (pouts) I don't mind if it's been in your mouth. I just wanna make the funny noises.
Vegeta: (snorts) [folds his arms] No!
Goku: (w/big sad sparkily eyes) But Veggie--
Vegeta: (embarassed) I SAID NO!!
Chuquita: Come on Vedge, he's not going to DESTORY it. Besides you don't have to use the kazoo afterward.
Vegeta: But, but I've already MARKED it with my own spittle! I can't have that mixing with Kakarrotto's PEASANT GOO!
Goku: (whimpers) (leans towards Veggie w/even bigger sparkily eyes) (sweetly) PwwwWWWEEEEEeeeeAAAAse, Veh-GEE?
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) [absent-mindedly reaches into a nearby bag of kazoos, pulls out a handful, and hands them to
Son]
Goku: YAY! [shoves all 10 kazoos into his mouth at once] Thank you Veggie! [blows all kazoos at once] *FWWEEEEEEP!!!*
Chuquita: (chuckles) Heh-heh, (glances over at Veggie, who's still glowing bright red and staring off into space) (sighs)
You'd think he'd be over the glowing thing by now?
Goku: Maybe little Veggie is waiting for me to thank him.
Chuquita: (looks at the intensity of the redness Veggie's face is radiating) Somehow I don't think that would be such a good
idea right about now.
Goku: Nonsense. [shoots chair over to Veggie's chair] (whispers into Veggie's ear) (happily) Thank you little Veggie!
Vegeta: (grins) Heeeeee.... [melts off his chair into a puddle of glowing red goo on the floor]
Goku: (to Chu) Veggie's always funny when he does that.
Chuquita: Personally I'm kind of curious as to how he does it.
Vegeta: (now solid again) [struggling to his feet] (smirks) Practice--YIPE! [falls down] [gets up a second time and sits back
down] It's harder getting it OUT of your system then getting it IN.
Goku: Heeheehee, [reaches out to poke Veggie in the stomach] Poking Veggie.
Vegeta: (glowing mildly) [stomach starts to wiggle a bit] Heh-heh, heheheheh-- [slaps Goku's hand away] STOP IT!! DO YOU WANT
ME TO LIQUIFY MYSELF OR WHAT!!!
Goku: Sorry Veggie. *FweepFWEEPfweep*
Vegeta: (flatly) Uh-huh.
Goku: *FweepfweepfweepFWEEPFWEEEEEEeeeEEee* [points to Veggie's kazoo]
Vegeta: (turns to Chu)
Chuquita: (shrugs)
Vegeta: *Fweep*
Goku: (grins) *FWEEPfweepfweepFWEEP*
Vegeta: *fweepfweepfweep*
Goku: *FWWEEEP?*
Vegeta: *FWEEP*
Goku: *Fwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeep* (wink)
Vegeta: [kazoo melts in his mouth and drops to the floor] (glowing) Uhhhh....
Chuquita: (to Veggie) (gawks) Whad he say to you?
Vegeta: (watches Son play a little melody to himself on his kazoo) (dazed) I don't think HE even knows what he said...
Chuquita: Well what did he SAY!
Vegeta: How should _I_ know! It was all a bunch of "fweeps" played together!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops)
Vegeta: But the way he PLAYED them.... (starts to glow mildly) Wow. Pure servant material.
Chuquita: Uh-huh....hey Vedge, care to introduce Part 4?
Vegeta: (smirks) Don't mind if I do. (to audiance) And now for the 'grand finale', audiance. Presenting Part 4!
Chuquita: (claps) Good job Veggie!
Vegeta: (grin) Heh.
Goku: *Fweep-fweep-fweep*!
Summary: Veggie makes a wish to Shenlong for Goku to become his servant-maid; saving him the trouble of having to create
any more evil plots. But what happens when the wish backfires and Veggie finds himself on the opposite end of his and Goku's
buddyship? Can the ouji deal with his new possessive and slightly manipulative servant-maid? Will he be able to somehow wish
Goku back to normal? And what happens when Chi-Chi finds out?!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Ahh, the lookout. So interesting, so nicely designed-- "
" --so high up. " Goku squeaked out, interupting Chi-Chi.
" What's the matter, you never had any problems coming up here before. " she looked at him oddly, " Or are
'servant-maids' forbidden to travel up this high? " Chi-Chi glared at the ouji under Goku's arm.
" No, it's not that, it's just, " Goku peered over the edge of the lookout and gulped, " Can you imagine what were to
happen to Veggie-sama if he fell off the edge of this place? He'd be KILLED INSTANTLY upon impact! " Goku gulped.
" Heh-heh-heh, yeah, he WOULD, wouldn't he.. " Chi-Chi mused.
" As much as I'm sure you'd enjoy witnessing my death as a sidewalk waffle, Onna, you're going to have to forget
about it. " Vegeta smirked, " I can FLY, remember. Unlike YOU. "
" I CAN TOO FLY YOU EVIL LITTLE OUJI! " she snapped at him.
" No, _I_ fly. YOU hover in a wobbily position. " the ouji retorted.
" Goku, drop him. " Chi-Chi said bluntly.
" WHAT?! " Goku shrieked, going ssj2, " HOW _DARE_ YOU!! " he backed up, huddling the ouji tight against him, " I
WOULD NEVER MURDER MY PRINCE!!! "
" Yeah, so buzz off, Onna. " Vegeta motioned her away, " So where's this big dinner you said Dende promised us? Or is
that another one of your LIES. "
" Oh YOU'RE one to talk about liars, Ouji. " Chi-Chi schoffed, " And Goku he is NOT your prince!! "
" IS TOO!! " the still ssj2 snarled wildly at her. Vegeta looked visibly nervous of the larger saiyajin's mental
state.
" Forgot about Kakay's "loyalty" to me again, eh Onna? " Vegeta grinned.
Chi-Chi sighed, ignoring the fact that Vegeta was right, " Come on Goku, the dinner's in the building. Bring the
Ouji. "
" So you can try to MURDER HIM YOURSELF! HA!! " Goku laughed mockingly at her, then pulled out a capsule and threw it
to the ground. The puff of smoke revealed a pink leash reading "Son Goku's little baby" on it. The ouji's eyes popped out of
his head and before he could say anything he found himself wearing the leash, collar, and tied to one of the pillars on the
lookout, an agitated look on his face, " There we go! Doesn't widdle Veggie wook so cyute in his bwand new cowwar? " the
larger saiyajin squealed in baby-talk as he tugged at the ouji's face cheek. Vegeta twitched.
" Kakarrotto have you lost your mind. " he said flatly.
" Listen little Veggie-sama, you need to stay here so mean 'ol Chi-chan doesn't come out and try to kill you! " Goku
explained.
" HER KILL _ME_?! KAKARROTTO I COULD DESTROY ONNA WITH MY PINKY FINGER! I ONLY CHOOSE NOT TO BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO
HURT YOUR LITTLE RELATIONSHIP WITH ME SO I DON'T JEOPARDIZE OUR FUTURE!! " Vegeta yelled in defense.
" Whatever you say Veggie-sama. " Goku replied sweetly, rubbing the ouji on the head, " Now you be a good boy while I
go have my special snack! Bye! " he said, then skipped off.
" Hmmph! " Vegeta snorted, then frowned and looked down at his own stomach, then back in the direction Goku was
leaving in, " But what about me? " he pouted, " Kakay? HEY, KAKARROTTO I'M HUNGRY TOO!! "
" Heh-heh-heh. "
The ouji looked up to see Chi-Chi dangling a candy bar infront of him, snickering evilly. Vegeta smirked at her, lept
to his feet, and ran straight after her only to suddenly yelp in surprise and fall to the ground, choking.
" HAHAHAHA! STUPID OUJI! " Chi-Chi laughed at him, then walked off, tossing the candy bar over her shoulder towards
the dizzy prince.
" Ehhhh.. " Vegeta groaned, rubbing his neck in pain, " WHO'S CRUEL JOKE WAS THIS ONE!! " he yelled upward, angrily;
then noticed the candy bar and grinned, " Baka Onna, leaving it out in plain sight. " he rubbed his hands together, then
reached out only to discover the candy bar was just out of his leash's range of freedom. Two more inches and the candy would
have been his. Vegeta sweatdropped, " KAKARROTTO!!!! "
" Where's all the food? This looks awfully suspicious. It better not be a trick, Chi-chan. " Goku said, looking
around the empty room with the exception of what looked like a check-in desk for a hotel.
" Kaasan where is everybody? " Gohan asked.
" I'm...not sure. " she scratched her head, confused. Bulma, meanwhile, had taken the initiative to walk up to the
desk and ring the small bell ontop of it.
" HELLO! " she called out, " DENDE! PICCOLO! MR-- "
" --Popo is at your service. " Popo nodded, suddenly appearing behind the desk. Bulma looked around, confused as to
how he had just done that.
" Mr. Popo we need to see Dende right away! " Bulma pleaded, " It's about Son-kun. "
Mr. Popo looked past Bulma and sweatdropped at the large saiyajin in the french-maid-ish-looking costume, " Oh dear,
Mr. Popo is afraid Mr. Popo will have to wash Mr. Popo's eyes out with soap for a very long time after THIS particular
incident. " he said in shock, then turned around and opened the door behind him, " DENDE! YOUR ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED! BULMA IS
WORRIED, CHI-CHI IS MAD, AND SON GOKU IS WEARING A DRESS!! "
" Skirt. " Goku corrected him.
" SKIRT! " Mr. Popo shouted loudly into the door.
Bulma sweatdropped, " _I_ could have done THAT. "
" Ohh man, Mr. Popo don't yell so LOUD. " Dende yawned, emerging from the room still in his pajamas and night-cap. He
was holding his ears to stop them from ringing, " What could POSSIBLY be so IMPORTANT that-- " he froze, his eyes turning
towards Goku, who smiled politely at Dende and did a little curtsy for him.
" ... "
" ... "
Dende turned to Bulma, his shock wearing off, " What did he do THIS time? " the young namek said, bored.
" Goku? " Mr. Popo blinked, baffled.
" Vegeta. " Dende and Bulma sighed at the same time.
" He snuck out of the house a couple nights ago and made a wish with the dragonballs for Shenlong to give Son-san a
great passionate desire to become Vegeta's servant-maid. " Bulma groaned, " It kind of backfired to say the least and now
Goku's ordering Vegeta around and basically treating him like a combination baby/pet. "
" I made Veggie-sama a little bonnet! " Goku said sweetly, holding the handmade object up, " It'll keep his lil head
all nice-n-warm-n-toasty when it's cold out. I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY IT ON HIM!! " the large saiyajin squealed with delight,
hugging the bonnet.
" Wow, Vegeta really messed him up THIS time! " Dende gawked.
" No...kidding... " Chi-Chi said flatly.
" So. " Bulma looked down at Dende.
" So? "
" Umm, you wouldn't happen to have a way to change Goku-san back NOW instead of having to wait a year, would you? "
Bulma asked uneasily.
" As a matter of fact, I do. " Dende smiled, grabbing a nearby phone and dialing several numbers.
" GREETINGS MORTALS. YOU HAVE REACHED THE ETERNAL DRAGON'S HOTLINE. " Shenlong's voice boomed over the phone,
" Please wait for our next available operator to place your call. " a woman's voice added. Elevator music began to play from
the telephone. The Sons and Bulma instantly sweatdropped and fell over at the same time.
" Uh, Dende? Since when has there been an "eternal dragon's hotline"? " Gohan spoke up, very very confused.
" Oh I had it installed shortly after the Cell Games. " Dende said casually, " Just in case of emergancies you know.
Vegeta-san was highly unstable the first two years after Son-san blew himself up. I didn't want him making any weird wishes
without me being able to stop them. "
" Little Veggie-sama wasn't THAT unstable after I exploded, was he, Bulma? " Goku asked sadly.
" HA! YOU weren't the one who had to listen to him through those 7 years staring out his bedroom window saying "Don't
forget about Kakay's chair, Bulma, I know he'll be here to celebrate my birthday with me THIS time!". " she glared at Goku,
folding her arms.
Goku stared at her, devastated, " Oh....VEH-GEE! " he sniffled, hugging the bonnet tightly, " I'm so SORRY little
Veggie! YOU MUST'VE HURT SO MUCH!! " the large saiyajin wailed sorrowfully, " I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU AGAIN I PROMISE!! "
Chi-Chi watched Goku continue to cry into the bonnet while pleading for his prince to forgive him. She sweatdropped
and turned to Dende, " How much longer till our call gets put through? "
" Umm, on average it can take anywhere from 5 minutes-- "
Chi-Chi sighed with relief.
" --to 10 days. "
The group sweatdropped.
" This is going to be a long wait. " Gohan groaned, sitting down on the floor.
Bulma wryly pointed to the phone, " At least we have some snappy music. "
" Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doodadoodoodadadoo. " Piccolo whistled to himself
as he flew back to the lookout and landed only to see a very odd sight at the far end of the platform. There was Vegeta
attached to one of Kami's castle's pillars via a dog-leash and desperately trying to reach out to grab what looked like a
candy bar. The tall namek stared blankly for a moment, then cringed when it hit him.
" Goku's here. " he grimaced, " And if Goku's here the kitchen's bound to be in shreds by now. " Piccolo groaned,
then noticed the sign pasted to the pillar just above Vegeta which read "Goku's little Veggie!" in big cute puffy
bubble-letters. Beneath that sign there was another, more menacing sign reading "TOUCH AND DIE at the hands of Son Goku!!!"
Piccolo walked up to Vegeta, then smirked at the candy bar and kicked it slightly towards the starving ouji. Vegeta grinned
and reached out to grab it only to have Piccolo step on his hand and kick the candy bar across the lookout.
" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! " the tall namek laughed loudly as he entered Dende's house. Vegeta twitched angrily.
" YOU WAIT'LL KAKAY HEARS ABOUT THAT! HE'LL RIP YOUR ANTENEE CLEAR OFF YOUR HEAD!! " Vegeta screamed, enraged.
" SURE HE WILL, you big baby. " Piccolo commented to himself, " I wonder what Dende and Popo are doing.. " he trailed
off as he walked into the house.
Vegeta stared at the candy bar, which was now completely out of his reach and pouted, " Kakay....KAKAY!!! "
" VEGGIE'S IN TROUBLE! " Goku gasped, bolting to attention. The group was still waiting to be put through by the
next operator.
" I don't get it, who else could possibly be using this line. " Gohan said. Everyone stared at him, " I mean, we're
the ONLY ONES who even USE the dragonballs--WE'RE THE ONLY ONES WITH A PHONE TO THIS LINE!!! "
" Welcome to Shenlong's Wishing Service. " the same woman's voice from before said in a pleasant tone, " To learn
about services offered here press 1. In order to retract a previous wish to the dragon, press 2. If you want to order a
breakfast platter, press 3. If you are a saiyajin named Son Goku or Vegeta Oujisama, hang up now. "
Chi-Chi smirked, " I like _THIS_ phone service. "
" OOH! OOH! PRESS 3, DENDE! PRESS 3! " Goku said eagerly. Dende sweatdropped and pressed 2, " Awww.. " Goku pouted,
depressed.
" YOU HAVE PRESSED 2! STATE YOUR NAME AND THE WISH YOU WISH TO RETRACT. " Shenlong's voice boomed.
Dende sighed, " Shenlong? "
" Oh. Hi Dende. " the dragon said in a normal echoless, yet still very deep voice.
" Shenlong I've got Son Goku in here wearing a skirt and serving beverages to the group here--thanks-- " Dende took
a glass of soda off the platter Goku was carrying around, " and I was just wondering... "
" Yes I granted Vegeta two wishes. " Shenlong groaned, " Wait--did you say a skirt? "
" Mini-skirt. " Dende grimaced.
" He WAS a little trigger-happy; wish-wise I mean. " Shenlong muttered to himself, " I don't suppose we can make a
new rule to forbid the dragonballs to be used in his possession? "
" That'd take up too much power, we'd be limited back to one wish. " Dende said sadly.
" Oh well. " Shenlong shrugged from over the phone, then coughed loudly and cleared his throat, " STATE THE WISH YOU
WISH TO UNWISH, MORTALS!! " he said in his usual booming tone.
Dende nodded to the group for them to come closer.
" Finally! " Chi-Chi clasped her hands together happily, " The nightmare comes to an end. "
Gohan nodded in agreement.
" What are we supposed to do first, Dende? " Bulma asked him.
" Well we just tell Shenlong over the phone which wish we want him to undo and it instantly becomes null and void. "
the young namek explained.
" Wow? It's that simple? " she smiled, " Say Dende, where does Shenlong go when he's not granting our wishes
anyway? "
" FLORIDA. " Shenlong replied from on the phone, " SOMETIMES EUROPE. SOME PEOPLE CLAIM ME TO BE THE LOCKNESS
MONSTER. "
" Where are you now? "
" DETROIT. "
Bulma cocked an eyebrow and turned to Dende, " Detroit? "
" Don't ask. " Dende sighed.
" Oh, well...SHENLONG, WE WISH TO RETRACT THE PAST TWO WISHES VEGETA MADE THE OTHER NIGHT! " Bulma shouted into the
phone.
" Umm, you can only 'retract' one wish at a time. " Dende said.
" WHAT?! " Bulma, Gohan, and Chi-Chi gawked.
" The other wish is going to have to wait the full year when we can summon Shenlong again. " Dende explained.
" I _KNEW_ this was too good to be true. " Chi-Chi grumbled, folding her arms.
" Dende? What was the other wish Vegeta made. He wouldn't tell me. " Bulma asked him.
Dende sighed, " Immortality for Goku and himself. "
Bulma sweatdropped, then slapped herself on the forehead, " I _KNEW_ he was going to wish himself immortal. He'd been
blabbing about it since we first met him until he stopped and began blabbing about defeating "Kakarrotto" instead. "
" YOU MEAN THAT EVIL LITTLE OUJI'S NOW INVISIBLE!!! " Chi-Chi shrieked in horror.
" Afraid so. " Dende chuckled nervously, " At least till next year....buh--but look at the bright side, Goku is too.
If Vegeta tries anything, he can always stop him! "
" Somehow that doesn't put me at ease. " Chi-Chi glanced over at Goku, who was presently knitting a little pair of
mittens for the ouji, " But if we have to choose between the two...SHENLONG! WE KNOW WHICH WISH WE'RE GOING TO UNDO!! " she
yelled in the direction of the phone just as Piccolo casually walked in, only to have Goku zip over to him and hand him a
soft drink in a glass. The tall namekian sweatdropped, then shrugged and sipped from the glass.
" MAKE YOUR WISH KNOWN NOW! " Shenlong's voice exploded over the lookout. Vegeta bolted in alarm, " I WILL UNDO ONE
OF YOUR LAST TWO PREVIOUS WISHES!! "
" AHH! WHAT THE-- " Vegeta shrieked, then paused, " --ONNA! SHE TRICKED US!!! " he grabbed his leash and desperately
tried to pull it apart, only to find it stuck tight. The ouji then sweatdropped and embarassingly raised one hand to his
forehead and teleported out of the leash and across to the other side of the lookout, " WAIT'LL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU YOU
WITCH!! " he screamed in anger, ran into the house, then ran back out, grabbed the candy bar from before, ate it, and ran
back in the house for the second time, " ONNA!!! " he yelled as he entered the room the others were in.
" Hello Veggie-sama. " Goku said sweetly as the ouji dashed by, " Drink? "
" NOT NOW KAKARROTTO!! " Vegeta shouted over his shoulder, leaving behind a very confused servant maid. Goku cocked
his head.
" Huh. "
" SHENLONG! TWO DAYS AGO THE OUJI MADE A WISH FOR GOKU TO BECOME HIS 'SERVANT-MAID'! I WANT YOU TO UNDO THAT WISH! "
Chi-Chi said into the phone.
Suddenly a bright light burst forth from the bottom speaker of the phone and engulfed the entire room. It then
dissipated.
" YOUR WISH HAS BEEN UNDONE. I'M OFF TO THE CASINOS, I BID THEE WELL! " Shenlong's voice echoed in the
all-to-familiar way and the phone line went dead. Dende hung up.
" Well...did it, work? " Chi-Chi said outloud.
" YOU BAKAYAROES!! " an angry voice came from behind them. Chi-Chi turned around, smirking at a furious Vegeta.
" Ouji. " she snickered.
" ONNA I SHOULD KILL YOU! I SHOULD HAVE KAKARROTTO KILL YOU! BETTER YET THE BOTH OF US SHOULD KILL YOU AT ONCE!!! "
he raged, an anger vein on his forehead.
" Somehow I doubt MY Goku is going to help you kill me anytime soon, Ouji. " Chi-Chi nodded, then pointed to Goku,
who was standing there still holding the platter of drinks, yet looking slightly clueless as to why he was there. He smiled
down at one of the Pepsi cans, shoved the whole thing in his mouth, chewed twice, swallowed, and spit the can out empty.
" HEEeee, the soda of Veggies. " he giggled, then noticed the rest of the group and dropped the platter to the ground
, " HELLO EVERYBODY! " Goku said excitedly, then turned to Chi-Chi, " So, Chi-chan, where is the buffet you told me I was
gonna get? "
" At home. " she smiled, " You might wanna change first though. "
" Change? " Goku looked down and everything suddenly came hurling back at him. He narrowed his eyes at Vegeta, who
only replied with a nervous, cheesy grin. The larger saiyajin walked over to him, took the maid-hat off his head, and placed
it ontop of the ouji's instead, " VEGGIE _USED_ ME! " he glared angrily, " You made me wear that creepy dress and serve you
goodies through a spoon and want to spoil you till you were chubby and helpless without MY CONSTANT LOVE AND CARE! You wished
me into your servitude and made me be your little Veggie-love-slave!! "
" I, I wouldn't say "Veggie-love-slave". It's, it's called a servant-maid. " Vegeta said uneasily.
" I _KNOW_ what it's called, Veggie. " Goku said stubbornly, turning his back to the ouji and folding his arms, " To
think you'd rather have me as your "servant-maid" than your big buddy...that really HURTS Veggie. "
" Yeah, ya jerk. " Chi-Chi added. Vegeta only glare at her.
" Little Veggie how COULD you! " the larger saiyajin sniffled, turning to him and bending down to Vegeta's height,
" I thought you LOVED me... "
" Uhh....uhhh... " Vegeta stammered, nervous sweat dripping down the side of his face, " Of COURSE I...love you,
Kaka-chan. " he began to glow bright red, his eyes tightly shut.
" Really, little Veggie? " Goku looked down at him, uncertain.
" Yes, and, you see I learned something very important here today. " the ouji grabbed both of his peasant's hands.
Bulma groaned, knowing one of the prince's over-dramatic storylines before the actual story even started. Chi-Chi, meanwhile
rolled her eyes. Gohan and Piccolo had found an old checkers set and were sitting on the floor playing it and ignoring the
two saiyajin's emotional conversation.
" Kakay, it's WRONG for me to force you into servant-hood to me. Doing it that way means nobody wins. If you're being
forced to do it I won't really know the true glorious feeling that comes with the moment you decide on your own free will to
become my servant-maid. And you won't be able to be the best servant-maid you can be to your prince because if your choices
won't be purely your own while keeping me comfortable, warm, and safe. I apologize. " he hugged the larger saiyajin's hands.
" Does that mean you're going to stop trying to make me your servant-maid once and for all? " Goku smiled meekly.
" HECK NO! It just means that I'm going to have to make the position look more inviting to you from now on. " Vegeta
replied, smiling widely, " For instance, if you decide to come home with me and take your rightful kaka-job back right now
I'll pay you in fish and fancy pastries and give you your own bed on the other side of my room. "
Goku sweatdropped, then glared again at the ouji and pulled his hands free, " Come on Chi-chan, we're going home. "
" YAY! Haha! " Chi-Chi cheered, then blew a raspberry at Vegeta and clung to Goku's arm happily. The larger saiyajin
looked down and ripped off his servant-maid uniform, throwing it to the ground infront of Vegeta. Goku was now left wearing
his boxer shorts. He placed his fingers on his forehead and teleported them off the lookout. Leaving a devastated little ouji
behind. Vegeta looked down at his peasant's lovingly created servant-maid uniform and gingerly picked it up; rubbing it with
his hand.
" Kakay.... " Vegeta trailed off.
" Come on, Vegeta, I'll fly us home. " Bulma smiled, patting him on the shoulder and taking out her airplane capsule,
" Gohan do you need a lift? " she called to the young demi-saiyajin, who was still in the checkers match against Piccolo.
" Hmm? No thanks Bulma, I'll fly home myself once we're done here. " he moved one of the checkers and hopped two of
Piccolo's.
" Alright, if you say so. " she said, concerned, then grabbed the sad ouji by the arm, " Let's go 'your highness',
you've caused enough trouble for one day. "
Vegeta hugged the uniform tightly, " Ohh... " he sighed as he headed into the airplane, followed by Bulma. The duo
took off in the direction of Capsule Corp.
" You see this is exactly why I live up here now. " Piccolo said while studying the checkerboard, " After those 3
years living at the Son home I'm surprise I'm still sane. " he moved his chip, " Checkmate. "
" Wha--WHAT?! " Gohan gawked at the board, " HEY! YOU CAN'T JUMP THAT WAY! THAT'S CHEATING! "
" Is not. "
" IT IS TOO! "
" Not on Planet Namek, boy. "
" WELL IT IS HERE! "
" IS NOT! "
" IS TOO! "
" IS NOT! "
" IS TOO! "
Dende and Mr. Popo sweatdropped at Piccolo and Gohan's argument, " Mr. Popo is beginning to think Mr. Popo should get
Dende and Mr. Popo's earplugs from the closet. "
" Yes, please do that. " Dende groaned, " I have a feeling this is going to last a while. "
2 Days Later...
" Wow! Go-chan you're STILL out here? " Chi-Chi said, surprised as she left their house and walked over to the nearby
river where the large saiyajin was currently scrubbing himself clean and leaving huge puddles of soap bubbles throughout the
stream, " It's 11:00am! You've been in there for 3 hours!! I'm glad you've finally started worring about keeping clean but
this is ridiculous! "
" I'm trying to wash away the stench of embarassment. " Goku groaned as he continued massaging the shampoo into his
hair.
" Still smell like Ouji, eh? " Chi-Chi said flatly.
" Mmm-hmm. " he nodded sadly, " I don't think I've ever been this humiliated EVER! " the large saiyajin exclaimed,
" Do you know how embarassing it is to look back on the past 4 days knowing I spent a full 48 hours of my life wearing that
creepy dress and obediently obeying little Veggie's every whim and calling him Veggie-sama and--*sigh*! " Goku let out a
frustrated sigh.
" I wouldn't say you obeyed the Ouji's EVERY whim. " Chi-Chi replied, then smirked, " Making him wear that diaper was
pretty funny though. "
" I wouldn't know, I don't remember half the stuff I did while under that wish. " Goku cringed.
" Believe me, you didn't do anything sick with the Ouji beyond hugging him a little lower than usual. " Chi-Chi sat
down, trying to make him feel better.
" Really? " Goku blinked, then grinned, " You mean Veggie didn't make me smooch him or bow at his feet or anything
truely creeply like THAT? "
Chi-Chi nodded.
" Oh Chi-chan! " he teleported out of the river and hugged her tightly, " You made me feel oh-so-much better now. My
reputation and body have not been tarnished after all. "
" Mmmhmmhmm, " Chi-Chi giggled, a blush line over her nose, " You're welcome sweetie. " she hugged back.
" ... "
" ... "
" OH NO! " Goku gasped suddenly, " LITTLE VEGGIE! "
" What about "little Veggie"? " Chi-Chi said dryly as Goku let go of her.
" Chi-chan if it was the wish making me act like that all that time....then it's not really Veggie's fault AFTER all!
And I made him sad... " Goku trailed off.
" HOW IS IT _NOT_ THE OUJI'S FAULT! HE MADE THE WISH! " Chi-Chi pointed out, slightly ticked.
" No, it isn't directly. How many times have we accidentally messed up wishes by not phrasing them down to the last
detail. Veggie made a vague statement that was granted only by Shenlong's interpretation of what HE THOUGHT Veggie meant! "
the saiyajin explained, then gasped, " And now little Veggie's heart must be torn into little bitty PIECES! "
" ... " Chi-Chi blinked, " So? "
" Chi-chan I've GOT to apologize to my little buddy for me being such a meathead to him! Who KNOWS what Veggie could
do if he's depressed! " Goku exclaimed.
" He tried to hang himself once, that was funny. " Chi-Chi laughed a bit, reminacing, " "I'm coming for you Kakay!",
"Please wait for me!" HA! That moron, he would've ended up in the H.F.I.L. if he had succeeded anyway. "
" MY LITTLE VEGGIE IS TRYING TO HANG HIMSELF!! " Goku shrieked, " WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER! I GOTTA STOP HIM
BEFORE HE REALLY HURTS HIMSELF!! " he placed his fingers on his forehead, terrified and ready to teleport.
" NO! GOKU NO NO NO! HE'S NOT DOING THAT _NOW_!! " Chi-Chi frantically waved her arms in the air. Goku stopped, " It
was just one of the many MANY random stages he went through after your second demise. " she explained, " We stopped him
through. Told him you were at the front door. The evil little Ouji unlatched himself from the noose and went running while
Bulma, Mirai and I got rid of the rope. "
" But I never visited little Veggie until I came back. " Goku looked at her, confused.
" I know THAT. You weren't REALLY at the front door, we just said that so he wouldn't take that running leap off the
stepladder. You should've seen the look on his face when he ripped the door clear off its hinges only to see no one was
there. " she grinned evilly, " Fell to his knees and started bawling at the top of his lungs! " she laughed. Goku's eyes
began to water, " I even took pictures. " Chi-Chi said happily, " 10 seconds later he flew off in a sudden rage and blew up
a licorice factory. "
" POOR _VEGGIE_! " Goku sniffled, " I didn't know he'd loose his fragile little mind. "
" Well, he did. " she shrugged it off, then snorted, " Mirai made me hand over one of your spare gi's to the little
sicko and that kept him quiet and locked up in his room for a good 'nother month. "
" I don't want Veggie to loose his mind again Chi-chan. I'M GOING TO APOLOGIZE TO HIM _RIGHT_ _NOW_! " Goku said,
determind.
" NO NO NO WAIT!!! "
" What is it NOW! " Goku pouted, angry.
" Your clothes Goku, your clothes! " Chi-Chi held up one of his gi's and groaned, " The last thing I want is you to
beg for the Ouji's forgiveness in your birthday suit. " she cringed. Goku grabbed his gi and quickly got it on.
" Alright, NOW I'm going to apologize to little Veggie! " he prepared to teleport, " Bye-bye Chi-chan! See you in a
lil bit! " Goku winked, then disappeared.
Chi-Chi sighed and fell to her knees, " What am I gonna do with him... "
" Oh lit-tle VEH-GEEE! I HAVE COME TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU! " Goku said, knocking on the door to Capsule Corp, " I COME
BEARING GIFTS! " he shouted, then opened to door to find the living room and kitchen completely empty, " Little Veggie? "
he started to breathe faster and gulped, " Veh-veh-Veggie? " horrific images appeared in Goku's mind of an already-hung ouji
dangling from the ceiling fan in his room. Goku ran wildly up the stairs to Vegeta's bedroom, " VEGGIE! VEGGIE DON'T DO IT
VEGGIE I STILL LOVE--you. " Goku blinked in confusion and mild relief to see Vegeta sitting on his bed stroking Goku's
still-tattered servant-maid uniform, " ...hi. " the larger saiyajin said meekly.
" ... "
" ... "
Goku bit his lip and walked to the bed and sat down a couple feet away from the ouji only to discover Vegeta was not
merely stroking the uniform but sowing its ripped pieces back together. Goku's shoulders sunk in guilt and he turned his head
away from the ouji, " OH boy.. " his eyes bulged out of his head as the guilt instantly became even heavier. He swallowed
uneasily, " Little Veggie, I am sorry for being mean to you. I did a bad thing. Little buddies aren't to be taken for granted
like that. "
" ... "
" I, brought you some ice cream...in a bucket this time. And, and you can eat it anyway you like I won't spoon-feed
you or anything crazy like that I PROMISE! " Goku said, holding out the carton of strawberry ice cream.
" Thread. " Vegeta held his hand out. Goku looked at him, puzzled, then noticed a spool of black thread beside him
and handed it to the prince, who continued his work mending the servant-maid uniform.
" Veggie forgive me? " Goku plopped his head sideways on the top of the carton and stared at the ouji w/big sparkily
eyes. Vegeta glanced over at him and sweatdropped.
" Yes, Kakarrotto, I forgive you. " he groaned.
" YAY! " Goku cheered, throwing his arms up in the air, " Veggie forgives me and I forgive Veggie and we are on happy
terms with each other once a-gain! " he dropped the ice cream bucket to the floor, grabbed Vegeta and hugged him, " I missed
you Veggie! "
" I....uhh, missed you too, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta glowed mildly, a little uneasy, yet still content with the fact that
Goku's manner of hugging was once again back to normal, " And, thanks for the ice cream. "
" Heeheehee. " Goku grinned widely, letting go of Vegeta and picking up the carton, " It is strawberry without a hint
of choc-o-late little Veggie, just how you like it! " he handed it over to the smaller saiyajin.
" I suppose I should get this to the fridge before it melts into a liquid, huh. " Vegeta said, examining the case.
" Yup! " Goku nodded happily, " I'm gonna make such a great future princess, Veggie. "
The ouji facefaulted, " What, did you say? "
" I said I'm gonna make a great future princess. " the large saiyajin grinned.
" ...you mean "servant-maid". " Vegeta narrowed his eyes.
" No, no. I mean princess. "
" Kakarrotto... " the ouji gritted his teeth warningly.
" Come on Veggie! After everything that's happened do you REALLY still want me to be your future "servant-maid"? "
Goku looked at him skeptically, " Now if you made me your PRINCESS things would be completely different! "
" You can say THAT again. " Vegeta muttered.
" Yeah, I could get my own golden crown and big flowing cape; like Piccolo's only even cooler; and we could buy a
whole bunch of matching stuff like 'ouji' and 'oujo' t-shirts and get 10% discounts at the mall during the
royalty-gets-10%-off sale, and-- "
" --there IS no "royalty-gets-10%-off sale", Kakarrotto. " Vegeta growled, a vein bulging on his forehead.
" Maybe would could make funny little nicknames for ourselves on our new royalty t-shirts too. " Goku continued
on happily, unfazed by Vegeta's evident frustration, " You know, like "Oujita" or "Kakarroujo". Something cute like that! "
" Get out of my room, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta snarled, folding his arms.
" You mean, Kakarroujo? " Goku grinned cheesily.
" OUT!! " the ouji screamed at the top of his lungs, " OUT OF MY ROOM! NOW!! " Goku nervously lept to his feet and
dashed out of the room. Vegeta angrily slammed the door in his face, " OOHH!! "
Goku peeked his head in the doorway, still grinning, " Bye-bye, Oujita! " he giggled.
" GRRR--*YIPE*! " Vegeta yelped as Goku closed the door on the prince's hand, then skipped off, laughing.
Vegeta pulled his hand back out from between the door and whimpered, " Where's a servant-maid when you NEED one! "

11:49 PM 10/22/2002
THE END
Chuquita: YAY! Two chapters done in one week! I'm back on schedule!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Who's to say you were OFF schedule?
Chuquita: Nobody, it's just that as the chapters of my stories get longer and longer it takes more time to finish them and
thereby makes it harder for me to get more than one chapter done and uploaded in the same week. I used to be able to get up
to 3 chapters ready in one week, but that was back when most of my chapters were around 30KB instead of 50KB.
Goku: (giggles) Heeheehee, "Oujita". I like that.
Chuquita: (grins) Thanks, thought 'um both up off the top of my head.
Goku: It's nice, but I still love saying LITTLE VEGGIE so much MORE! (grins at Veggie; who shifts uneasily in his chair)
(giggle) Veggie so cute.
Chuquita: OH! Just a lil reminder that Vejitto (fusion baby #1) is making his first appearance in the animé in a couple of
weeks.
Goku: (cheers) YAY FOR JI-CHAN!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) ...
Chuquita: Also, a while ago I sent a poem in for T-sama's "I Cried" pov-poem-fic where it had a bunch of the dbz characters
and their reactions to Veggie's first death-- (turns to Veggie) You know that sounds odd saying that, your "first" death.
Vegeta: (smirks) Yeah, well.
Goku: Veggie was kinda brought back by accident.
Vegeta: (eyes water) You mean, you didn't WANT me back? Kakay?
Goku: (startled) NO VEGGIE NO! I missed you very very much! Not as much as I would miss you if you were to get knocked off
right NOW, but I DID miss you.
Vegeta: (back-to-normal) Good. That's better.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Anyway, I sent in this poem for it from Son-kun's pov and it was posted on Sunday. So if anybody
wants to see my one-shot at a pov-poem-angstish kinda fic, take a look at it. If you don't want to, heck go read something
else after this, I'm not forcing ya. (grin)
Vegeta: Subliminal messaging, Chu?
Chuquita: (shrugs) Eh. As for the next story's Corner, you probably know already. (happily) We're back to doing the theme
thing in the Corners--
Goku: --and the next one is for HALLOWEEN! (toots little horn from before) *FWEEP*! (points to himself) _I'M_ gonna be a
scuba-diver!
Vegeta: (snickers) _I'M_ going to a KING!
Chuquita: And I'm going to be--the person giving out chocolate and candy. [holds up bag of M&M's]
Goku: YAY! CANDY! [grabs the whole bag out of Chu's hands]
Chuquita: ...
Vegeta: (smirks at her) You're gonna need a LOT of candy.
Chuquita: I noticed. Here's the summary for the next yet-to-be-titled fic!
Chi-blind; Chi-Chi interupts Goku and Veggie during the worst possible time of their sparring match and ends up in the
direct path of a solar flare. After a visit to Capsule Corp, Bulma is certain Chi-Chi has been permanently blinded. But is
she right? Chi-Chi hopes not because Vegeta is using every chance he gets to drive her further and further to the brink of
insanity? Will she lose her mind before she regains her vision? Find out!
Chuquita: (to Veggie) I wanted to choose one from my list of upcoming fics that didn't mess with any of the characters
heads this time. I'm still trying to get everything back to normal after "Veggie Wins?!". (glares at Veggie)
Vegeta: (grins) Don't blame me, blame future me!
Goku: And future ME!
Chuquita: (sighs) Oh well.
Goku: (narrows his eyes) And how is making Chi-chan BLIND a normal thing?
Chuquita: Oh-kay, maybe it's not "normal" but how many of these stories ARE?
Goku: None.
Chuquita: See! The Thanksgiving tie-in comes in because that's the time of year this next fic takes place in. Can you
imagine being the one who cooks up the big Thanksgiving dinner every year and suddenly lose your ability to even see what
you're holding, not to mention working with?
Vegeta: (evil smile) Onna BLIND, huh?
Chuquita: (warningly correcting Veggie) TEMPORARILY blind.
Vegeta: And she can't sense ki very well, can she?
Goku: (surprised) Chi-chan can sense ki?
Vegeta: (big evil grin) Ahh the possibilites...Onna can't fulfill certain obligations to Kakay if she can't see him. And
if she can't see or sense any of us that would mean she's forced to rely on what she HEARS. (snickers) INteresting...
Goku: Veggie better not be thinking any bad thoughts.
Vegeta: (fake-gasp) BAD _THOUGHTS_! _ME_!
Chuquita: (groans) Oh brother. (to audiance) We'll see you next time, everybody!
Goku: May the fruits of your labor be rich in protein!
Vegeta: (snickering; rubbing his hands together maniacally) Heh-heh-heh, "bad thoughts", ME, heh-heh-heh...
