Quote of the Week: -from Spongebob Squarepants
Spongebob: (holding up a Krabby Patty) But it's good for you.
Squidward: Are you crazy! That thing is a heartattack on a bun!
Spongebob: No Squidward, I mean good for your soul (wings appear behind him)
Squidward: I have no soul! (evil backround appears behind him) (looks around in shock)
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Hello, hi and welcome Part 2 of "Eye Spy"! I'm Chuquita, and beside me here is--
Vegeta: --Vegeta Oujisama! KING OF THE UNIVERSE AND ALL THAT IT ENCOMPASSES! [still wearing his King costume]
Goku: (happily) And _I'M_ little Veggie!
[Chu & Veggie turn to where Son is sitting to see he is now wearing a Goku-sized Veggie training uniform and his hair is
halfway between regular and ssj; making it appear Veggie-like with the exception of his bangs]
Chuquita: (snickers) Heh-heh-heh. Veggie he DOES look like you.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Kakarrotto that's just plain creepy. Flattering--but creepy.
Goku: I toldja my second costume was under my scuba-diver one, but you didn't believe me, did ya little Veggie?
Vegeta: (still sweatdropping) No, I guess not.
Goku: (to Chu) I still have at least two more costumes depending on how may chapters this story will end up having.
Chuquita: Yeah there should be at least another chapter after this. [slips a cookie under the desk]
Goku: What was that for?
Chuquita: (shrugs) For some reason my temporary tail likes to eat cookies, but no matter how many I feed IT, my stomach
doesn't feel any fuller.
Vegeta: (rolls his eyes) Tails don't LEAD to the stomach, Chu. They just gain more power for themselves by absorbing food
items.
Chuquita: Uhh, mine isn't absorbing, it's literally EATING the cookies.
Goku: (happily) MY tail likes to eat chocolate pudding.
Chuquita: Thick chocolate pudding or thin chocolate pudding?
Goku: Ummm, about the same thickness consistency Veggie has during the times he's a melted puddle of glowing Veggie-goo.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Thanks a lot, Kakarrotto. (pauses) How would YOU know the "consistency" of my "melted puddle" state?
Goku: ... (avoids eye-contact)
Vegeta: (aggitated) WELL!!
Goku: (whistling to himself while ignoring Veggie)
Vegeta: _WELL_!!!!!!
Goku: (little embarassed giggle) You won't BELIEVE some of the things you can sip through a plastic straw--
Vegeta: --ENOUGH!! [covers his ears] THAT'S ALL I REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR, KAKARROT!
Goku: (whispers to Chu) It tasted kinda like that filling they put in the strawberry pop-tarts. Only with a hint of Veggie in
it.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Err, thanks Son-kun. Wait, Veggie WAS the puddle and you sipped a little from it, doesn't that mean
that once he solidified again that he would be missing like an ear or an eyeball or something?
Goku: (shrugs) I dunno.
Vegeta: [looks himself over] I _SEEM_ to have all my body parts in their correct places.
Goku: (now w/a straw in his mouth) Heeheehee.
Vegeta: (angry) PUT THAT THING AWAY!! (snorts) Feh! Cannibal! YOU HAVE MASSES OF CANDY GO EAT THAT! Or maybe you would rather
TIE ME UP AND ROAST ME OVER AN OPEN FLAME!!!
Chuquita: I believe out little King is insulted.
Goku: (nods) Poor, poor little Veggie. (grins) (imitation) Hey everybody, lookit me! I'm little Veggie! I'm little and I'm
grumpy and make evil evil plots to completely rule over the one peasant left of my entire kindgom! Woowoowoo! I think Onna's
a meanie and I'd kill her if I didn't love Kakay so much! Lalalalalalala! I'm the great and powerful saiyajin on ouji and
Kakarrotto should bow at my little feet since I'm his prince! Doodeedoodeedoo!
Vegeta: (mildly bright red) _I_ DON'T SOUND LIKE THAT!!
Chuquita: Well you're partially correct. You don't go "doodeedoodeedoo".
Vegeta: (glaring at her) Are you insinuating the rest of Kakarrotto's horrific imitation of me is all TRUE?
Chuquita: (shrugs) Pretty much, yeah.
Vegeta: (growls and turns in the other direction)
Goku: Veggie? (cocks his head)
Vegeta: ...AND I DON'T HAVE LITTLE FEET!! [snaps at him]
Chuquita: (to Son) You know, if you even consider yourself on the short side; saiyajin-wise, and Raditsu as a normal height,
that makes Veggie even smaller than before.
Goku: (grins) WOW! You're right! (giggles) Veggie'd need like, a little Veggie high-chair to sit at the royal kitchen table
because all the other saiyajins are even bigger than me. (grins at Veggie) Hey little Veggie how did you get so little?
Vegeta: (grits his teeth) I'd rather not talk about it.
Goku: Were you big at one time and got cursed by somebody who made you little or were you born little I've heard that babies
born prematurely grow up littler than babies who aren't were you so eager to exist that you were born beforehand little
Veggie huh?
Vegeta: (twitches in annoyance)
Goku: (w/lil sweet smile) ~*lil-lil Veh-gee?*~
Vegeta: (glows bright red at Son's expression; then sighs) Just start the next chapter already. Kakarrotto's giving me a
headache!
Chuquita: You got it Veggie!
Summary: 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!
Goku: (staring at Veggie) (fake-slurping through the unusually large straw in his mouth) (giggles) *SLLLLLLUUUUUUURRRRRRRRP*!
Vegeta: (snaps at him) WILL YOU CUT THAT OUT!!! [shakes his fist in the air]
Goku: (whimpers and stares down at the floor) Ohh...
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" *MMM*! YUMMY-YUMMY-YUMMY-YUMMY!!! " Goku chanted excitedly between bites of the huge feast set out before him. The
little ouji was grinning widely and standing next to a shocked and now very very worried Chi-Chi.
" Neh-neh-neh-neh-neh-NEH! " Vegeta snickered as he floated around Chi-Chi in a circle.
Chi-Chi clenched her fists in anger, ::Surpressing the urge to deck the Ouji in the face. Surpressing the urge to
deck the Ouji in the face.:: she let out a low growl.
" VEGGIE MAKES THE BEST PASTRIES EVER, CHI-CHAN! " Goku squealed happily.
" Here that Onna? " Vegeta smirked, now floating infront of her, " _I_ make the BEST PASTRIES ever! Even better than
YOURS. Why if you don't watch out _I'M_ going to be taking over cooking for these little Thanksgiving feasts PEMANENTLY. "
" ARRG!! " Chi-Chi screamed, suddenly sending her fist flying into his face.
" YEOW! " Vegeta yelped, falling to the floor and covering his face with his hands.
" Whaf happengd do u? " Goku walked over, his cheeks stuffed with pastries.
" ONNA HIT ME!! " Vegeta yelled, pointing over at Chi-Chi accusingly.
Goku gasped, " You're kidding! "
Vegeta shook his head in a pouty manner, then held out both arms as if he needed a hug.
" Oh CHI-CHAN THIS IS _WONDERFUL_! " Goku sniffled, clasping her hands in his.
" WAHH! " Vegeta fell over, " You're kidding me. " he said sarcastically.
" This must mean you're getting some of your vision back! I'm so happy for you! " Goku threw his arms around Chi-Chi
and hugged her tightly.
" Umm, actually Goku, that's not really what happened. " she sweatdropped.
" Say what? " Goku pulled away, a confused look on his face.
" You see Go-chan. I remembered some advice of Kaio-sama's Kuririn told me about once while you were fighting the
EVIL MENACE the first time. "Sense the evil ki and throw". Well, I sensed the evil ki, and I threw! " Chi-Chi grinned,
throwing a pretend punch in the air.
" Err, actually what Kaio-sama meant was about throwing a genki-dama. Not punches.... " Goku sweatdropped, " Say does
that mean you can still consider Veggie's ki to be "evil"? "
" I'm not evil I'm merely morally impaired. " Vegeta interupted.
" Now Goku, what did Dr. Briefs say about my vision? Do you know how soon I'll get it back? " Chi-Chi asked him.
" Uhhh, uhhh, " Goku started to sweat nervously, " They haven't fully completed analyzing it. Yet. " he made a cheesy
grin, then remembered she couldn't see it and stopped.
" Oh. I see. " Chi-Chi folded her arms, " Well until they're done and I know when it'll fully return I want you to
teach me how to sense ki! "
" Wha--what? " Goku gawked, " But, you said-- "
" I had to try really hard to sense where that evil little Ouji's energy was coming from! If you teach me how to
sense ki I can perform all the tasks I normally do every day until I get my vision back. " she explained.
Goku smiled, " Sure I can teach you how to sense things Chi-chan, but how's that gonna help you cook for
Thanksgiving. FOOD doesn't have any ki. " he said, confused.
" HA! I have EVERYTHING planned out Goku. I keep everything in the kitchen in it's own place so that I'll easily be
able to find it. YOU will have the privledge of being my assistant and be the one who keeps time on the oven, moves things
around, and hands me the ingrediants. I bet we'll be able to get done TWICE as fast as normal. " Chi-Chi said, then smirked,
" AND I just might cook up a little something special just for you. "
" Just for me? " Goku squeaked out.
" Mmm-hmm! "
Goku tossed the muffin he was currently holding over his shoulder, " HOORAY FOR CHI-CHAN! LET'S GET STARTED! " he
grabbed her by the arm and teleported out of the room, leaving a confused Vegeta.
" Baka Onna. " Vegeta grumbled, " 'Sense the evil ki and throw', neh. I'll show her. " he smirked, " I'LL CREATE THE
MOST MOUTH-WATERING DELICIOUS FEAST EVER CONCOCTED IN A COMMON EARTH-KITCHEN! Kakarrotto has already allied with me on just
exactly WHO'S baking abilities he prefers, so this SHOULD prove rather simple. I'll have my servant-maid in NO TIME! " the
ouji pumped his fist in the air, " BWAHAHAHA! I CAN SEE IT ALL NOW... "
:::"Oh V-sama! Your home-made food from our native planet is so much more delicious than Onna's nasty garbage-dump
poor-excuse for nourishment SLOP! I wish I could have it everyday!" Goku mused, on his knees infront of Vegeta.
" Well, lowly peasant, I suppose that COULD be arranged. IF you endebt yourself to me and take your rightful place as
my humble servant-maid. " Vegeta said proudly, gazing down at the larger saiyajin.
" It shall be truely an HONOR to serve you, my prince. " Goku smiled meekly, then stood up, his head bowed, " I will
retrieve my uniform at once. " he nodded.
" And it shall be an honor to serve you MY personal dishes. " the ouji grinned, retorting, " Of course you'll have to
clean every dish I dish out to you. But after all the nourishing saiyajinese food that'll be in your belly it shouldn't be
that hard at all, eh Kakarrotto? "
Goku nodded obediently, " Yes, V-sama! Your wish is my command! "
Vegeta snickered, " Heh-heh-heh... ":::
" ...heh-heh-heh-heh! " the smaller saiyajin rubbed his hands together, then paused, " Well, maybe it won't be
EXACTLY like that. But it'll be close! MUHAHAHHAHAHHA!!!...maybe I should go iron Kakarrotto's servant-maid uniform for him
for when he gets back first... "
" We're HERE! " Goku said happily as he and Chi-Chi finished teleporting.
" Where's "here"? " Chi-Chi asked suspicously.
" Dende's Lookout! " he grinned at her.
" GAH!! " Chi-Chi fell down animé style, " WHAT ARE WE DOING ALL THE WAY UP HERE! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LEARN HOW TO
SENSE KI UP HERE PRACTICALLY NO ONE LIVES AT THIS PLACE!!! "
" This is only a pre-lim-inary test. We're going to start with moving objects in an almost-empty place, then go back
down to the river near our home and you'll try sensing the same ki but also distinguishing one ki from another. " Goku
explained.
Chi-Chi stared at him, or in his direction, in awe, " Wow Go-chan! I'm impressed! You sounded so intellegent and
ordered just now! "
Goku blinked, confused, " I...did? "
" Ahh, what a beautiful morning. " Piccolo sighed as he walked out of Dende's house, then yelped as something shot
from infront of him, " AHH! "
" PICCY-CHAN! "
" FUSION HA!!! " the tall namek shrieked, nerve-shot, then sweatdropped and looked down to see Goku with a big cheesy
grin on his face while hugging Piccolo, " Oh, it's just you. "
" Piccolo still suffering from shell shock, huh? " Goku frowned, patting Piccolo on the back.
" Son, what are YOU doing up here? " Piccolo scratched his head, " Unless??....oh no! Vegeta's accidentally blown
himself up again and now you're re-attaching the label of "little buddy" to me!!! " a look of panic spread across his face.
" No, little Veggie is fine and dandy at the moment. " Goku giggled, letting go, " And you know what? VEGGIE CAN BAKE
PASTRIES!!! " he cheered, " EVEN BETTER THAN CHI-CHAN!!! "
Piccolo glanced over at Chi-Chi, who kept turning her head in various directions, " What's her problem? "
" Oh, Chi-chan's blind. " Goku replied.
Piccolo blinked, then sweatdropped, " Wha-whawha what?? "
The larger saiyajin sniffled, " Chi-chan looked directly into one of my solar flare attacks that I was attacking
Veggie with and now she can't see. " he glanced back at her, then whispered into the tall namek's ear, " Dr. Briefs and Bulma
told me she won't be able to see ever again but I can't bring myself to tell her that. " Goku spoke normally, " Chi-chan
wants to learn how to sense ki so it'll make it a bit easier for her to do everyday stuff. "
" And of course you came to me to help you. " Piccolo said proudly.
" Umm, actually I'm looking for Mr. Popo. " Goku chirped.
Piccolo fell over, " MR. POPO?! "
" Yeah, have you seen him? "
Piccolo sighed, then pointed towards Dende's house, " He's in there watering the plants. " Piccolo said dryly.
" Great! Thanks Piccolo! " Goku said cheerfully as he grabbed Chi-Chi by the hand and ran inside. Piccolo shrugged
and turned to follow then.
" Mr. Popo??? "
" Mr. Popo would be more than happy to help you, Son Goku. " Mr. Popo said while holding his watering can. Goku had
just rehashed the situation to the genie.
" Really! That's great! " Goku clasped his hands together, then turned to Chi-Chi, " Did you hear that Chi-chan? Mr.
Popo's willing to help me with your ki-training! "
" And just HOW is HE going to help us? " she cocked an eyebrow at him.
" Just watch and see! " Goku chirped happily.
" Uh,...Goku? "
" Yes? "
" ... " Chi-Chi sighed, " Nevermind. "
The larger saiyajin turned towards Mr. Popo, " Alright Mr. Popo! Let's begin! Chi-chan you better back up. " he
warned. Chi-Chi shrugged and did so.
" Oooooo! " Mr. Popo chanted, then slowly grew in size until he took up the majority of the lookout platform, save
Dende's house.
" PERFECT! " Goku gave him a thumbs-up, " Now Chi-Chi. I want you to try to find Mr. Popo's ki. "
" Uhhhh, uhhhh. " Chi-Chi squinted, looking around. The genie sweatdropped.
" Mr. Popo feels foolish. "
" You could say that again. " Piccolo squeaked out, smushed between the wall of the house and Mr. Popo's newfound
height and weight.
" Umm, OH! " Chi-Chi perked up. Goku grinned, " ...I'm sorry Go-chan, I can't sense a thing. "
" Ohhh. " Goku hung his head.
" But Mr. Popo is right here. How can Chi-Chi not sense Mr. Popo's presence? MR. POPO IS PRESENTLY TAKING UP ALMOST
THE ENTIRE SPACE ON THIS PLATFORM!!!! " he exclaimed, causing everything around him to shake from the booming vibrations of
his voice.
" SHH! Mr. Popo! Be quiet! " Goku shouted up at him, " Oh-kay Chi-chan. Let's try something even easier. I want you
to POINT to where you think Mr. Popo is. "
" Uhhh, uhhhhhh, " Chi-Chi stammered in the same I-have-no-clue tone of voice she had just used before, " THERE! "
she said determined, pointing out to the edge of the lookout.
Goku sweatdropped, " This is gonna be harder than I thought... "
" Lalala, LALALALA! " Vegeta sang happily as he mixed a batch of some yet-unknown food product. The ouji was still
wearing Goku's spare gi and the larger saiyajin's "servant-maid" costume was drying on an ironing board behind him, " _I_ am
a gen-ee-ious. Ladeedadeeda! Onna's blind! And I am not! And Kakay flips for the food I've got! " he sang, then dumped the
mixture out of the bowl and into what looked like the world's largest muffin tin. He grinned at the audiance, " Heh-heh,
saiyajin-size. "
" What do you think he's doing? " a pair of blueish eyes blinked, confused. Two more figures appeared behind it.
" I'm not sure, I bet it's another one his "plots". " the taller one grimaced.
" Nuh-uh! I bet Toussan's making goodies for Mr. Goten's Daddy so they can have a tea party together! " the smallest
one giggled excitedly, " Just look at how diligent Toussan is! "
" Somehow, Bura, I DOUBT Toussan's planning a "tea party.". " the tallest one rolled his eyes.
Vegeta turned around to see Trunks, Mirai, and Bura staring at him in confusion and awe, " Greetings fellow oujis and
oujo. I'm baking a rather large muffin. " he said proudly.
" No kidding. " Mirai sweatdropped. Vegeta glared at him and Mirai instantly straightened up, a nervous sweat running
down his forehead, " Heh-heh-heh. "
" Do we REALLY count as oujis? " Trunks interupted.
" Hmm? Oh, no. Actually you're more like half-oujis and a half-oujo. " Vegeta corrected himself, " Care to move out
of the way? My freakishly huge pastries need some breathing room. "
" Breathing room? " Bura blinked, then peeked around the corner and fell over at the sight of a similarly
proportioned cake, cookies, fish, chicken, and cheeseburgers, " GAHH!! "
" Heh, and THAT'S just for Kakarrotto! Just wait til I get to actual Thanksgiving feast! " the ouji grinned.
" Oh I _KNEW_ it! I _KNEW_ you were making goodies JUST FOR Mr. Goten's Daddy who you love so very dearly! " Bura
mused, " That's so kind of you Toussan! Mr. Goten's Daddy will be SO SURPRISED at how sweet you can be! "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " Uhh, actually that's not the real reason I-- " he glanced over at the still-drying
servant-maid costume on the ironing board.
" --wait, doesn't Gohan and Goten's Mom always cook for Thanksgiving? " Trunks cocked an eyebrow.
" He's up to something. " Mirai groaned.
" Ahh, Onna WOULD be cooking Thanksgiving dinner, IF she had not been BLINDED BY THE LIGHT of one of Kakarrotto's
solar flare attacks he created during our morning spar. " Vegeta proclaimed overdramtically, " Poor Onna! It seems she might
NEVER be able to see AGAIN! " he fake-sobbed, then broke into an evil cackle, " You should've seen her on the car-ride up
here! I thought if she didn't go mad from being blind she'd go mad from the horrific images I implanted into her peanut-sized
brain via a few melodious subconscious suggestions I ignited to slip through her thoughts. "
" Oh God, I can barely imagine what you did to her. " Mirai cringed.
" Not "did", my alternate future son, it was what I SAID. " Vegeta turned the oven on infront of him and the jumbo
sized muffin began to bake, " Shame she couldn't see me. I pulled several of my newest fighting techniques on Kakarrotto on
the way up. The poor little peasant. I scared him half to death but it merely added to Onna's newfound HORROR of being less
able to protect her "Go-chan". " he spat out the nickname.
" Wow Toussan, you are so sneaky. " Bura giggled, " Did you give Mr. Goten's Daddy any "buddy-smooches"? "
" What? NO!!! " Vegeta snapped at her, his face bright red. He frowned, " There WAS one awkward moment where we hit
half a dozen bumps in the road... " he embrassingly reminiscenced, " Did you know that instead of bright red Kakarrotto's
face glows a bright pink-ish color? "
" Can't say I have. " Mirai sweatdropped.
" Aww, Mr. Goten's Daddy loves you back! " Bura squealed, hugging Vegeta's leg, " I'm so happy for you two. "
" Why do I even bother to explain. " Vegeta felt one of his bottom eyelids twitch.
Meanwhile, Trunks had snuck over to where a freshly baked, normal sized pie sat and grinned evilly, " Heh-heh-heh. "
he grabbed a pepper-shaker and shook it over the pie, " Too bad Goten isn't here to see this. " he snickered, then ducked
underneath the table and casually made his way back over to where his siblings and parent were still talking. Trunks stopped
at the exact spot he was before he left and smirked.
" ...and so Kakarrotto then went off with Onna to "train" her to sense ki. " Vegeta finished explaining, then
mockingly folded his arms, " Not that it'll do any good anyway; she'll STILL be walking into walls. "
" You don't know that Toussan. Chi-Chi's a pretty, err, determined individual. " Mirai said, looking for the right
descriptive word.
" You mean ignorant, don't you? " Vegeta smirked, " After all, the race is over before I even won and I didn't have
to lift a finger. Well, unless you count cooking up all THIS stuff. " he pointed to the various freshly made foods in the
kitchen, " By the way I'm going to be baking a lot more food around here once Kakarrotto becomes my servant-maid so you
better get used to it. "
" Hey Bura, try some of this pie, it's delicious. " Trunks snickered, holding out the apple pie.
" Who do you think I AM? Goten?! " Bura scoffed, " You probably POISONED it or something! " she exclaimed, walking
away.
" Hmmph. SHOWS WHAT YOU KNOW! " Trunks shouted after her, " Hey Mirai can you hand me that tabasco fires-of-the-
-underworld hot-sauce? "
" Hmm? Yeah sure. " Mirai gave it to him, not really paying attention. He had turned the TV on and now watching the
local news. Trunks opened the whole bottle of hot-sauce and dumped it ontop of the pie.
" Ahh, cooking is a beautiful thing. " he smirked, then surpressed his laughter and tugged on Vegeta's gi shirt,
" Hey Dad you forgot this. "
Vegeta took the pie and put it on the counter, then whipped out a Capsule Corp capsule, tossed it to the ground, and
instantly capsulized his many edible creations, including the pie, " There we go. " he picked up the capsule, " If Bulma
asks where I am tell her I went to close a business deal with my future servant-maid. Bye! " he waved, then teleported out
of the room.
Trunks stood there staring at the spot Vegeta had just teleported from, a sneaky expression on his face, " I don't
know why, but I'm really looking forward to dinner tonight... "
" HA! GOTCHA! " Chi-Chi grinned victoriously, tightly gripping Mr. Popo's sleeve.
" HOORAY FOR CHI-CHAN! " Goku cheered her on, " You finally caught him! "
Mr. Popo was now back to his normal size. He groaned, " Mr. Popo feels like the fake plastic cheese held within very
cheap mouse-traps. "
" Alright Chi-chan, now I want you to try to find Mr. Popo while he's moving this time. It's gonna be much harder
than just locating a standing target. Mr. Popo can jump very high and bounce around fast. "
Chi-Chi glanced in Mr. Popo's direction, " HE can "bounce around"? " she said skeptically.
" Trust me on this one Chi-chan! " Goku begged her, then smiled, " And after you tag Mr. Popo this time I'll start
help you distinguish between two different ki's. Piccolo will help me with that one. You'll have to be able to tell the
difference between two people's ki's; and not in their strength, but in their identity. Each person's ki feels a little
different. Even if they share the same power level. " he explained.
" Oh-kay. " Chi-Chi nodded, then smirked at the genie, " This is going to be easy. "
" Please excuse Mr. Popo's opinion but Mr. Popo observes that it shall prove a hard task to catch Mr. Popo when our
speeds are compared to one anothers. "
" Whatever you say. " Chi-Chi shrugged, then took a step towards Mr. Popo and gasped in shock as he lept high into
the air, then came down again and began to bounce around the lookout as if on a turbo-powered pogo stick. Chi-Chi
sweatdropped, " Why me. "
Goku watched her as she raced around the lookout, trying but ultimately failing each time in tagging the chubby
genie, " Poor Chi-chan, she'll be awhile. " he sat down to watch, then glanced to his right and gawked to see one of the
floor tiles flip over to reveal a slice of chocolate cake. The large saiyajin looked around, awaiting an eerie twilight zone
theme music to appear in the backround. Then, when it didn't, he decided to take the piece of cake and shove it in his mouth,
" Mmm, is es guph. " a slow smile spread across his face, " Ahh! " Goku patted his stomach after swallowing the cake, " That
was DELICIOUS!! "
" *Flip*flip*flip*! " several other surrounding tiles flipped over to reveal similar pieces of cake.
Goku stared at the slices, confused. He then grinned and shrugged, " Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. " he
grabbed all 4 slices and ate them at once, " I wonder how they got there though... " he scratched his head, then watched in
awe as more tiles of cake flipped up, only this time leading in a straight line up to a large, presently-unnoticed curtain
hanging over the entrence-way to one of the rooms in the lookout. Goku grinned, stood up, and began to follow the line of
cake slices, eating them one at a time as he went, " Heeheehee, piece of cake. " he giggled, then paused right infront of
the curtain. The large saiyajin reached to grab one of the curtain's sides and nearly fell backward when they instantly
flew to the side to reveal a massive amount of food, " OOOOOOOooooooooOOOOOOOOOooooooh! " he oohed excitedly, grabbing a
chunk out of the monster-sized muffin, " I wonder who all this really yummy could be for? " Goku smiled impishly.
" Yes, I wonder WHO it could be. " a little figure smirked, emerging from behind the muffin.
" VEGGIE! " Goku squealed, startling the ouji by tackling him to the ground, " Aww little Veggie I missed you! Did
you miss me? " he stared at Vegeta w/big sparkily eyes.
" Uhhh... " Vegeta's face glowed bright red. The ouji quickly shook it off, then nodded to the pastry paradise he had
set up, " What do you think? "
" I think my little Veggie missed me very VERY much to go through all this just to make my tummy full of delicious
goodies! " Goku snuggled the ouji closer, " Thank you little Veggie. "
" Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh... " the ouji melted into a glowing red puddle on the floor, " Don't mention it. "
Goku bounced over to the large buffet Vegeta had set out and tossed several cookies in his mouth, " MmmMMMMmmm! My
little Veggie makes the yummiest cookies EVER! "
" *A-hem*! "
Goku cocked his head towards Vegeta, who was now solid again and folding his arms.
" You can't just have all of that for FREE, you pig. " he snorted. Goku frowned.
" Veggie's gonna make me PAY MONEY for his yummy goodies? " the larger saiyajin sniffled.
" You DO have to pay for what you eat, but not till you get back to my house. It's FOR a fairly cheap price too. "
the ouji boasted. Goku grinned.
" CREDIT! ALRIGHT LITTLE VEGGIE! " he cheered, then began to stuff his face again. Halfway through devouring the food
Vegeta had prepared Goku took a chance to breathe and spoke up, " So Veggie *URP* exactly how much money do I owe you for
this? " Goku said cheerfully.
" Oh, I wouldn't say MONEY. " Vegeta smirked.
Goku instantly froze in place and turned his head towards Vegeta wearing a nervous expression, " Say what? "
" What you're eating there doesn't cost MONEY, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta snickered, " What do _I_ need more money for? I'm
filthy stinkin rich! But you know what I _DO_ need from YOU? " he walked closer towards Goku, who felt a tinge of panic in
his body and backed up.
" No Veggie, I don't... " Goku squeaked out.
" Well, I'll tell you. " Vegeta stated calmly, " Kaka-chan, the large amount of food you ate has cost me a, "pretty
penny". And you've just endebted yourself to a little "community service". "
Goku let out a sigh of relief, " Oh thank God! Is that all. " he smiled.
" Fortunately for you, since our saiyajin community only consists of two people, that would mean me. "
Goku's face dropped, " Oh....boy. " he watched as the happy little ouji walked over to another curtain and ripped it
clear off its hinges to reveal the servant-maid costume Vegeta had made for the larger saiyajin, hanging on a clothes hanger.
Goku shrieked in terror, " AHHHHHH!!! IT BURNS! IT BURNS!! "
" Come on Kakay, this way you can work off all those calories you just ate, AND the debt you now owe me. " Vegeta
grabbed the uniform and held it up infront of Goku.
" NUH-UH VEGGIE! NO NO NO NO NO!!! I'd rather eat something Chi-chan cooked while she's blind than wear that creepy
dress ever EVER again! " Goku panicked, squinting his eyes tight. He felt something latch onto him and opened his eyes to see
the little ouji hugging onto him tightly and staring up with an overdramatic hurt expression on his face.
" Kakay doesn't love his little buddy anymore? " Vegeta fake-sniffled.
" OF COURSE I LOVE YOU, VEGGIE! VERY VERY MUCH! " Goku quickly replied, " But I, I CAN'T wear that, THING! " he
pointed to the servant-maid uniform, " Not AGAIN!! "
" I understand Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said sadly, " You think you're too good to pay off the LARGE DEBT you owe to me
for eating all the food I worked SO VERY HARD to bake JUST FOR YOU because you're embarassed of being my servant-maid. "
" ... " Goku hung his head in pity, " OHHHHHHHh.....*SIGH*. " he held out his hands, " Give it here Veggie, I'll go
change. " he groaned, depressed.
" YAY! " Vegeta said happily, plopping the outfit in Goku's arms. Goku sat it on the table and began taking his boots
off. Vegeta sweatdropped, " HEY HEY HEY!! NOT _HERE_ YOU BAKA! DON'T GET CHANGED RIGHT INFRONT OF ME!! USE THE BATHROOM OR
SOMETHING!!! " he shrieked, his face glowing bright red.
Goku sighed, " Yes little Veggie. "
" I DID IT! _AGAIN_! " Chi-Chi cheered, holding up Mr. Popo's hat. Mr. Popo sweatdropped.
" Mr. Popo would like to know if Chi-Chi would please return Mr. Popo's hat to him. " he asked.
" Hmm? " she looked down at the genie and blinked, " OH! Heh-heh-heh, sorry! " Chi-Chi laughed embarassingly, handing
his hat over.
" *Whew* Mr. Popo's work here is done. " Mr. Popo said with relief, wandering back into the house.
" HEY GOKU! " Chi-Chi called out to him, " GOKU I DID IT! I TAGGED HIM!....Goku? " she blinked, then began to get
worried when she heard no answer, ::Hmm, I bet this is just another test. Now that I've found Popo while he was moving Goku
wants me to try and find him without any hints:: she nodded, attempting to form some sort of logical reason as to why he
hadn't answered yet. Chi-Chi concentrated, then perked up at a fairly large power and crept sneakily towards it.
" Bill, bill, bill, bill, ad, bill, bil-- "
" HA!! "
" --OOF!! " Piccolo yelped as he felt a fist make contact with his stomach, causing the mail in his was holding to go
flying out of his hands and all over the floor. He looked down and sweatdropped to see Chi-Chi in an attacking position,
" Uhh, Chi-Chi? "
" Piccolo? " she looked up at him, surprised.
" Warn me next time you're going to do that, oh-kay. " he twitched in a slight annoyance.
" Oh! Piccolo I'm so sorry! " Chi-Chi gasped, " I, I thought this was part of the next test. I kind of mistook your
ki for Goku's. "
" Which is, ironically what the next 'test' Son's come up with. " Piccolo folded his arms, " It's not just enough to
sense someone's ki, but you have to be able to tell one person's ki from another's or else, well what just happened here will
end up happening a lot in the future, you get the idea. " he nodded.
" Oh. Good point. "
" Son and I will both be helping you with this test, once he gets out here anyway... " Piccolo shrugged, then reached
down to pick up his mail.
" AH-HA! I FOUND HIM! " Chi-Chi grinned, then sped off.
" AHH! NO! " Piccolo yelled as her speed sent the mail floating up into the air. Piccolo quickly hurried to grab it
all before any of the mail fell over the side of the lookout. A single letter fluttered to the near edge of the lookout. The
tall namek dived and caught it just in time, " *whew*! " he sat up and wiped the sweat off his forehead, " I _THOUGHT_ I
moved back up here to get AWAY from those two. " Piccolo groaned, then smiled, " Oh well, I saved all the mail, that counts
for something. " he said, then headed back inside Dende's house through the same door Mr. Popo had just used.
" Goku? Goku where are you! I'm not joking this time! " Chi-Chi said loudly, wandering though one of the building on
the lookout.
" AhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! " an unbelievably content groan
instantly echoed throughout the corridors. Chi-Chi froze and a large sweatdrop appeared on the side of her head. The cry
might not have mattered to her so much if her newly acute hearing hadn't instantly picked up a name to identify the sound.
" The EVIL sound is more like it. " she gritted her teeth, " OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi screamed angrily, sliding into the
room the sound came from.
" OHHH KAKAY! That was SO *pant* EXHILARATING!!" the ouji squealed.
Chi-Chi felt her entire body twitch, " OOOOOOOOUJI!!!!! " she kicked down a nearby door to reveal two more very large
ki powers; one which, to Chi-Chi at least, felt nothing less than pure evil.
" Heh--hi Chi-chan. " Goku said nervously, wearing his servant-maid uniform. He was standing next to a raised table
where the little ouji was laying belly-down on with no more than a medium-sized towel covering his bottom. Vegeta's tail
swushed back and forth teasingly at her.
" GOKU WHAT IN THE HECK ARE YOU DOING!!! " Chi-Chi screamed, enraged.
" OH! Chi-chan it's not my fault! I didn't wanna do it I really didn't! You see Veggie gave me all this food but in
order to pay for it he made me do--- "
" --rub a little more on the upper right, oh-kay, Kaka-chan? " Vegeta handed a bottle of body lotion to the larger
saiyajin.
" *sigh* Yes Veggie. " Goku looked downward, his face flushing with embrassment as he squirted some more lotion into
his hands and went back to work giving the ouji his backrub, " Feel better now? "
" Oh MUCH better Kakay. Thank you for asking. " Vegeta smirked.
" GOKU DON'T YOU _DARE_ RUB _ANY_ OF THAT EVIL LITTLE MONSTER'S BODY PARTS! DO YOU HEAR ME!!! " Chi-Chi grabbed Goku
by the back collar and paused, " ...AND WHAT DOES HE HAVE YOU WEARING!!! "
" I'm just rubbing Veggie's back, Chi-chan. And I'm wearing my *cringe* "servant-maid" costume. " for the first time
Goku felt relieved she couldn't see him in this state, " I ate all of little Veggie's pastries and now he's making me give
him rub-downs as a payment for what I ate. "
" Yup! " Vegeta chirped, grinning at Chi-Chi, " Kakay's rubbed just about everything! "
" WHY YOU LITTLE-- " Chi-Chi growled, stepping towards him.
" Tsk tsk, Onna. It's bad manners to "interupt". Besides I could've ordered Kakay to do something MUCH WORSE than
just rub my back for me. " Vegeta snickered, " He does such a GOOOOOOOOD job of it by the way. "
" THAT'S IT! " Chi-Chi snapped, " GOKU! WE'RE GOING HOME! NOW! "
" But Chi-chan what about the rest of your training? " Goku blinked, surprised.
" FORGET THE REST OF MY "TRAINING"! I'LL LEARN ON MY OWN! " she grabbed him by the wrist only to feel Goku was now
wearing "ouji-gloves". Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " And change back into your regular clothes. NOBODY wants to see you like that!"
" *A-hem*! " a loud cough came from the table.
" EXCEPT SICK LITTLE OUJIS LIKE YOU!! " she screamed at Vegeta, who merely cackled with delight. Goku was changing
his clothes back into his gi in the backround, " YOU KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD DO GOKU? WE SHOULD BRING THE _OUJI_ HOME AND COOK
HIM FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER!! HE'S PRACTICALLY ALREADY _BASTED_!!! "
" Hai, Kakarrotto-chan thinks I AM _VERY_ delicious. " Vegeta snickered.
" LITTLE VEGGIE I NEVER SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT!! " Goku gawked with embarassment, then took Chi-Chi's hand, " Come
on Chi-chan. I'll take you back to our house. " he sighed.
" Aren't you gonna take ME home again too, Kakay? " Vegeta fake-pouted.
" YOU DID WHAT!!! " Chi-Chi shrieked. Goku tried to calm her down.
" Chi-chan you're reading too much into things! "
" HE SAID "TAKE ME HOME AGAIN", GOKU!!! " Chi-Chi cried.
" Shhh! Chi-chan Veggie is merely playing with your mind. " Goku glanced over at Vegeta and narrowed his eyes,
" You've been a bad little boy Veggie. And just for that I'm leaving with Chi-chan and you can teleport yourself home to
think about what you did! " he shook his finger at Vegeta, then teleported Chi-Chi and himself away.
Vegeta grinned evilly, " Oh I like THIS game... "
" You just LEFT him there! THAT'S the WORST punishment you could think of?! " Chi-Chi gawked as she paced the kitchen
floor.
" Well I didn't wanna be TOO harsh on my little Veggie. After all he DID go through all the trouble of making me
those yummy goodies. " Goku nodded meekly, " And they were SO delicious. Even better than yours! " he chirped happily.
Chi-Chi deeply surpressed the urge to destroy the next object she saw and placed her fingers on her forehead, " Deep
healing breaths...deep healing breaths... " she repeated nervously to herself, " *Whew*. " she removed her hand, " Even so, "
she said to him, " couldn't you have thought up even a MILD punishment for him! THIS IS THE SECOND STORY IN A ROW WHERE HE'S
GOTTEN YOU INTO THAT SERVANT-MAID OUTFIT! DOESN'T THAT TELL YOU SOMETHING!!! "
" Umm, that Veggie likes me in skirts? " Goku cocked his head, confused.
" NO! " Chi-Chi snapped back, " Well, maybe he does, who knows? BUT THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER! THE ANSWER I WAS
LOOKING FOR IS THAT YOU'RE LETTING VEGETA PUSH YOU AROUND TOO MUCH!! THIS ISN'T HIS PLANET!! IT'S OURS!!! "
" I know that Chi-chan but I love my little Veggie too much to be mean and nasty to him. " Goku shook his head
sorrowfully.
" Ugh! AND STOP USING THE WORD "MY" BEFORE THAT SICK BABY-NAME YOU GAVE HIM!! " Chi-Chi exclaimed.
" But Veggie IS mine, Chi-chan. " Goku corrected her.
" Please tell me I did not just hear that. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " Listen. Let's just forget about the Ouji for a
little while and continue with the dinner WE are now making for Thanksgiving. "
" We? " Goku blinked.
" Yes Goku. Since I am now partially blind; if you can count sensing ki as a type of eyesight; but still literally
unable to see, I'm going to need your help. You will hand me items, take things out of the oven, and in general do everything
that requires a maximum amount of eyesight to do. _I_ will prepare the food. Got it? " she explained.
" I have got it, Chi-chan! " Goku saluted her, " Let's get to work! "
" Turkey? "
" CHECK! "
" Gravy? "
" CHECK! "
" Utencils? "
" CHECK! "
Goku continued in his job of handing various items to Chi-Chi, who had been working non-stop for the past two hours,
" Wow Chi-chan, you're doing a great job for someone who can't see what they're doing! " he said, trying to peek over her
shoulder.
" NO DON'T LOOK! " she shrieked, covering the plate with her hands. Goku moved them away and yelped in terror. The
entire plate looked like it had been hit by an explosive. The turkey was in pieces, there was mashed potatoes everywhere,
and the amount of cranberry sauce smothered over the table alone made it look like a deserted battlefield for dozens of
very tiny warriors.
" I don't think even _I_ would eat THAT. " Goku felt his bottom left eyelid fidget, " CHI-CHAN WHAT HAPPENED!? "
" OHHH! GOKU I CAN'T DO THIS! SENSING KI DOESN'T HELP ME ANY NOW! FOOD HAS NO KI TO SENSE!! " Chi-Chi sobbed, " If
this keeps up I'll never be able to cook ANYTHING EVER AGAIN!! "
Goku's pupils shrunk to a minuscule of their size, " Nuh--never AGAIN?? "
Chi-Chi's shoulders slumped, " Goku it's impossible for me to make ANYTHING this way. We might as well go out to eat
for the rest of our lives! " she groaned.
" Chi-chan no don't talk like that! " Goku gulped, " If you aren't able to cook for me who IS? " he grabbed her hands
and sniffled, " There isn't anybody else on the planet who can create such delicious food in massive quantities like you
can! "
" *RING*RING*RING*RING*! " the telephone rang loudly as if on cue. Chi-Chi turned a pale color.
" I'm sensing the evil ki again... "
" I'll get it! " Goku said cheerfully, ignoring her.
" NO GOKU NO! " Chi-Chi cried out, grabbing him by the waist in an attempt to keep him from reaching the phone, " Let
it ring! It's that twisted little Ouji on the other line I just KNOW IT! "
" Little Veggie's on the phone? " he grinned happily, " I wanna talk to little Veggie! "
" NO YOU DON'T! " she yelled, angrier this time.
" Hello? " Goku giggled into the phone. Chi-Chi looked up to see he was holding the portable phone and sweatdropped.
" Hi Honey, I'm home. " a familiar voice snickered on the other end.
" Awwwwwwwww, Chi-chan little Veggie called me his "honey"! " the larger saiyajin felt his face light up a bright
pink color, " Heeheeheehee. "
" Yes, "honey". Like the sweet sweet substance the worker bee desperately seeks out to take even but a glimpse of its
sheer magnificence. A sticky, pure golden puddle dropped off of the top of an ice-cream cone from heaven onto this
undeserving planet and it's unworthy, primitive residents who can but merely grasp its true beauty. " the ouji smooth-talked
him.
" ...oh. " Goku squeaked out, his face still glowing bright pink. He turned to Chi-Chi, embarassed, " Veggie thinks
I'm pretty, at least, I think that's what he meant. " the large saiyajin giggled embarassingly, " Oh I feel so SILLY! " he
rested his hands on his cheeks.
" GIVE ME THAT! " Chi-Chi snapped, yanking the phone out of Goku's hand. He sweatdropped, his face returning to
normal color, " WHADDA YOU WANT _THIS_ _TIME_, OUJI? " she barked into the phone, then muttered, " As if I didn't already
know. "
" Actually Onna, I was just wondering exactly how FAR you've gotten into YOUR version of this year's Thanksgiving
Feast. I'm already on the eighth course if you were wondering. " Vegeta smirked.
Chi-Chi covered the phone's mouth-piece and looked down at her 'turkey' on the plate, " Uhh-- "
" I bet you haven't gotten past the appitizer yet, have you Onna? " Vegeta said mockingly, " What a shame. The last
of your talents, put to waste. It looks like I CAN do any and everything better than you after all. "
" YOU CAN NOT YOU EVIL LITTLE CREEP!! " Chi-Chi yelled at him.
" Onna, I can cook better than you can, I can spar better than you can, I can SEE better than you can, and I'll live
INFINITELY longer than you can. " Vegeta boasted, " It seems that I've got you beaten all around in EVERY thinkable
category! I guess that makes you obsolete, huh. I don't see why Kakarrotto doesn't leave your right now to come live with
his ruler, prince, and little buddy; me. "
" I can give you one good reason why my Go-chan wouldn't leave me for you. " Chi-Chi smirked.
" Organs have nothing to do with it Onna, I have absolutely no interest in romantically seducing myself a princess. "
Vegeta snorted, his face a light redish tone.
" That's NOT what I meant. I know my Go-chan and he would stand by me no matter HOW much more tempting living with
YOU seems to him at the moment! " Chi-Chi said determindly. Goku paused and sweatdropped in the background, dropping several
bags and suitcases to the floor, then pushing them under a nearby rug and whistled innocently to himself.
" Aww, what a shame. I was GOING to bake him a PIE too. " Vegeta said, sounding mock-disappointed.
" Pie? " Goku's eyes widened as he teleported to a hovering position next to Chi-Chi, " What KIND of pie; little
Veggie 'o mine? " he asked w/big sparkily eyes.
" A scrumptious chocolate-pudding filled pie with a crust made of thick chocolate fudge and cover in whipped cream
and those little rainbow sprinkles you adore so much. " Vegeta rubbed his hands together maniacally.
" Ohhhhhh, THAT kind of pie.... " Goku mused, trailing off. He was trying his best to keep his urge to teleport to
Capsule Corp down to a minimum, " What ELSE are you making right now little Veggie? " Goku asked, a trail of drool dribbling
out of the side of his mouth.
" Well, let's see what I've got here. " Vegeta replied calmly, inspecting the truely proffessional-looking setup of
food, " Ahh, there's some cake-- "
" OOoh. "
" --and some fried chicken,
" OOoh! "
" and some barbaqued cheeseburgers, "
" OOoh!! "
" and some specialty berry sauce-- "
" OOoh!!!! " the larger saiyajin began to pant on the phone, " What else what else? "
" Hmm. I ALSO happen to have the most beautiful grand turkey cooking in the oven, it's simply delicous. " Vegeta
snickered, " You should see what ELSE I have for you here, Kakay. It's all so good. Shame you'd rather stay with Onna while
I can give you SO MUCH MORE. Why, you could be MY assistant. "
Goku quickly turned to Chi-Chi with an eager look on his face, " CHI-CHAN-CAN-I-GO-SEE-VEGGIE-AND-BE-HIS-ASSISTANT?
I'LL-HAVE-SO-MUCH-FUN-I-WON'T-KNOW-HOW-TO-DEAL-WITH-MYSELF!! " he squealed quickly.
" NO YOU CAN'T! YOU'RE ALREADY _MY_ ASSISTANT! " Chi-Chi screamed, " _I_ HAVE A TURKEY, DON'T I!? "
Goku stared at the mess she had made on the table, " Uhhh---Veggie-I'll-be-right-there! "
" WHAT?! " Chi-Chi shrieked.
" YES! " Vegeta cheered.
" SON GOKU DON'T YOU _DARE_! " she threatened him.
" I'm sorry Chi-chan! It'll only be for a while! I'll come back I promise I just wanna see what my little Veggie is
up to! " Goku pleaded, placing his two fingers on his forehead and teleporting away, leaving Chi-Chi there to panic.
" GOKU!! YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE ME HERE! " Chi-Chi cried, " I'M BLIND, REMEMBER!! BLIIIHIIIHHIIIHIIIND!!!! "
" Little Veggie? " Goku looked around Capsule Corp, " Little Veggie where are you I'm ready to play your assistant
in food-making land? " he giggled excitedly.
" Here I am, Kakay. " a little figure said in a sing-song voice from the kitchen. The sound of a phone hanging up
soon followed.
" YAY! IT'S VEGGIE-TIME FOR ME! " the large saiyajin dashed into the room with a look of pure happiness on his face;
what he saw took his breath away. The room was neatly set up like a fancy European resturant. Plates-full of Thanksgiving
dishes along with dozens of saiyajin ones decorated every countertop and table in the room. Infront of the oven stood the
little figure from before; flipping a pancake while wearing a chef's smock and hat overtop his boxers. Vegeta's gi was no
longer present. He smirked, almost-instantly sensing the other, food-loving saiyajin, and turned to him.
" Care to join me Kakay? It's very lonely without someone to try all my dishes for me. " Vegeta grinned evilly,
walking toward him, " You see I need someone with a very, HONEST opinion of my food. "
" OH VEGGIE! " Goku grabbed the ouji into a surprise hug, " Little Veggie I would be HONORED to try all your yummy
foods! I bet they're all just as sweet as YOU ARE! "
" Heh-heh-heh, heh-heh-heh-heh-heh. " Vegeta giggled with embarassment, still being hugged, " REALLY, Kakay-chan? "
" Mmm-hmm! My little Veggie is the sweetest little buddy in the land! " Goku hugged tighter.
" Well then... " Vegeta trailed off, glowing bright red, " LET'S GET STARTED! _WE_ have a lot of different food to
taste together Kakarrotto. "
" YEAH! " Goku cheered, " I LOVE PLAYING TASTE-TEST GAMES! "
" Yes Kaka-chan. " Vegeta smirked sneakily over at the food, " So do I... "
*****************************************************************************************************************************
3:00 AM 11/3/2002
END OF PART TWO!
Chuquita: And so ends Part 2. (groans) My head is pounding.
Goku: (sad) Aww, poor Chu-sama had a long week?
Chuquita: (nods) Yeah, what with a school project, halloween, and shopping I had whole days this week where I barely got
anything written. (perks up) But that's oh-kay because Part 2 is now finished and ready to load! Course once your reading
this it'll mean I've already loaded it. I noticed some parts to this chapter got a little weird. But I blame that on the
result of me typing late at night. If I look real hard I can recognize where I stop and start writing at different intervels
of the day. Like for instance, from "for someone who can't see what they're doing!" to where it says "END OF PART TWO" was
something I wrote late last night, as compared to a chunk that was before that and this Corner which I'm presently writing at
5:37 PM 11/3/2002. Big difference. (nods)
Goku: (cocks his head) I don't really see any difference.
Vegeta: (smirks) I always start to win the battle for my peasant when Chu gets sleepy. (rubs his hands together evilly)
Chuquita: (slightly frustrated twitch) Vedge...
Vegeta: (to Son) She knows I'm right. It's harder to find a way for me to lose when the her brain gets too foggy.
Chuquita: (glares at him) Yeah well I've had plenty of sleep now and you KNOW you're not going to win by the end of this fic
anyway!
Goku: (grins) It is poor little Veggie's destiny to lose.
Vegeta: (bluntly) Shuddup Kakarrotto.
Goku: Heeeee~~~ (big goofy grin)
Chuquita: Oh, I've decided to use the idea T-sama put in the review of using Hiyah dragon/Icarus as a seeing-eye animal for
Chi-Chi in the next chapter. The last time I had Hiyah in a story was in "I Do?" where he just wandered into the Son home and
started to eat the furniture while Goku was home alone. And I know Chi-Chi isn't that fond of Hiyah--
Vegeta: (smirks) Not nearly as much as she isn't fond of me--
Chuquita: --so I think having him lead her around'll be pretty funny. I'm going to have Gohan suggest it to her for her trip
back to Capsule Corp. She's journeying back there after Son-kun to stop Veggie; again.
Vegeta: (melencoly) Ahh yes, "again". Say Chu? Does Onna get her eyesight back at the end or not?
Chuquita: I'm not telling you yet Veggie!
Vegeta: (grumbles) I bet she DOES get it back.
Goku: (blows a little kazoo) *FWEEP*!
Vegeta: Oh not THAT again! I thought we got rid of those!
Goku: Silly Veggie! These are episode whistles (giggles) It's Ji-chan week!
Vegeta: What?
Chuquita: Remember when you blew that little kazoo after the episode where Buu turned Chi-Chi into an egg and stepped on her
aired.
Vegeta: (sighs) Ahh, what a glorious day in saiyajin history THAT was.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Well, for those of you who're watching the daily new episodes, this week marks the first appearance of
the portara!
Goku: (happily) *FWEEP*!
Chuquita: Veggie's GRAND RE-ENTERANCE and that funny "big shimmery eyes" snipit he does.
Goku: *FWEEP*!
Chuquita: Vejitto's birthday/being born.
Goku: *FWEEP*!
Chuquita: AND the fusion-baby's first full episode battling Buu!
Goku: *FWEEP*FWEEP*FWEEP*!!
Vegeta: You know if I didn't know better I'd say that everything I say gets bounced back to me in an ironic twist somewhere
in the near future.
Goku: *FWEEP*! (sweetly) What do you mean little Veggie who-helped-me-make-my-very-own-fusion-baby?
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) (glowing a mild red) When I was preparing to return I felt bad that you wouldn't be there to greet me
because I thought you were dead and gone; (twitches) however when I got back to Earth not only were you there AND alive for
the past several minutes but I also ended up as your, umm, (bits his lip in embarassment) (glances at Chu)
Chuquita: Don't look at me I don't know what they call 'um. Fusion partners? The dub called them partners. "Buu: You have 5
minutes to find a suitable partner. Get going!" I don't think the sub even HAD a term for it.
Goku: (squeals) FUSION BUDDIES!
Chuquita: You can't use buddies.
Goku: (pouts) Why not? I like that word.
Vegeta: (glowing) (frustrated) Kakarrotto if you were to use the same term for someone you find a "special friend" as the
same term for someone you unintentionally created another being with through the use of a fusion that would mean you'd have
several more "fusion babies" with several more people who held that title in the past!
Goku: ...oh. (perks up) Well I like our fusion babies Veggie! Goggie and Ji-chan are a lot of fun!
Chuquita: AND they're both starring in the Christmas Special.
Vegeta: (embarassed at Son) I don't know HOW you got me into that fusion-bond thing of yours anyway.
Goku: (grins) Heeheehee. [holds up a portara] Veggie wanna be my "special friend"?
Vegeta: (shrieks) GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!!!
Goku: (giggles at the fact that he's frightening Veggie) See how they sparkle with magical powers Veggie? [holds it infront
of Veggie's face] Magical BONDING powers.
Vegeta: [backs up until he ultimately falls off his chair] (shakes his fist in the air) YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE JUST NOW!!
Goku: Heeheeheeheehee, yes.
Chuquita: (enlightened) I thought it was kinda odd how the portaras just randomly sparkled like that during that episode.
Vegeta: (glares at her) You know, you could've just WAITED until it AIRED to watch and be surprised at the same time as
everyone else.
Chuquita: I like spoilers, so sue me. (shrugs) (proudly) I have a copy of both the dub and sub versions of this episode. (to
Son) You know if I could I'd splice 'um together so I kept Veggie's english voice but your original one.
Vegeta: But THEN the episode would make no sense would it? It'd look like I'm talking to Kakarrotto but can't understand a
word he's saying!!
Goku: (giggles) I bet that'd sound funny.
Chuquita: Well I thought dub Veggie gave the better performance than the sub while the sub Son-kun did a better job voicing
that particular episode. OH! And someone e-mailed (or maybe put in a review for part 1; I can't remember ain't I awful?
::sweatdrops::) me about the "point of fusion" I used back in "It Takes two to Tango" and I looked back at the sub and I
found out she was right that it's the same fusion point used in the episode. (grins) And I wrote that even before I saw the
episode.
Vegeta: (mockingly) Yes, let's move onto an even MORE embarassing topic for me to talk about!
Goku: (taking him literally) (happily) OH-KAY! Chu-sama do you think we're gonna eventually fanfic-ize that comic where I
have my 5 imaginary fusion-babies the "old fashioned" way?
Chuquita: (shrugs) I dunno, I wanna get through some of the other stories on my future fic list before/if I write that one in
story form. The only problem with it is it's so earth-shattering long I'm libal to end up with 6 chapters!
Goku: And with the size of each chapter in these stories that's pretty darn long.
Chuquita: (cringes) Yah. I'm not really an "epic" writer. My stories hardly last longer than 4 chapters.
Goku: (to Veggie) Well I think it would be really nice to have some more fusion babies with Veggie, even if they're only a
figment of my imagination.
Chuquita: Actually I had 2 endings to that comic. The one I drew and the one that I didn't draw in which you DO end up having
the 5 fusion babies who were somehow contacting you in your dream ahead of time. But if I did it the second way it would (A)
jeapordize all my future comics with a big plothole (what happened to the fusion babies? how am I gonna make things be normal
with 5 new characters) and the fact that it would confirm that something yaoi-ish had happened between you and Veggie. And
since I didn't want that to happen I had to scrap that ending.
Goku: YOU MEAN I COULD'VE HAD ALL THE WONDERFUL SWEET LITTLE CHIBI FUSION BABIES IN MY DREAM REALLY COME TRUE AND YOU DIDN'T
LET ME!!!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Son-san, if you HAD them that would have meant that you had--(whispers into his ear)
Goku: (eyes widen to 10X their normal size) (squeaks out) ...oh. (glances over at Veggie) I, I'm not so sure I can see myself
doing that, even if I was completely drunk.
Vegeta: (embarassed) Was that an INSULT, Kakarrotto?
Goku: No I'm just saying *chuckle* I REALLY don't think I'd do that, to you--with you--umm, you know.
Vegeta: (flatly) Uh-uh, thanks for the input Kakarrot. Really enjoyed that little conversation.
Chuquita: (to Son) I rented the other gba dbz game yesterday.
Goku: Ooh, the card one?
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) More like the screenshot one. (sticks her tongue out in disgust) I'm glad I bought the one with you
on the cover instead of the one with Mirai. I can't even tell if I'm winning or not!!!
Vegeta: The story of my life...
Chuquita: I mean, all the little screenshots for the cards or nice; and I've never really BEEN a card-game player, and this
one didn't even have a cute little animated opening like the "Legend of Goku" did!
Goku: I still say they should make the "Veggie's Adveggieture" video game.
Chuquita: (grins) I'd like to play a side-scroller where you hope around and zap people without having to look down at the
top of their heads.
Goku: (james bond-ish) Your mission; do you accept it; is to get to the right side of the screen.
Chuquita: (chuckles) Heh-heh, yeah.
Goku: Say Veggie, I'm gonna go change into my third costume for part 3. Being you's kind of boring.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) BORING??
Goku: Well, yeah. Sure you're little and cute and freakishly persistent, but it's more fun to watch you be that way then to
act it out myself. Besides, I think you have some issues.
Vegeta: (explodes) ISSUES?! (gawks) I HAVE NO ISSUES!!
Goku: (to Chu) See? There little Veggie goes again. (impishly) Know what my NEXT costume is?
Chuquita: What?
Goku: (whispers it to her)
Chuquita: (snickers) Oh I'm sure he'll just LOVE that one.
Goku: Heeheehee, I've always wanted to dress up like that for Veggie. (waves excitedly to Veggie) Wave back little buddy.
Vegeta: (blushes with embarassment and waves back)
Goku: HEE, Veggie's so silly!
Vegeta: I AM _NOT_ "SILLY"!!
Goku: (impersonation) Lookit me! I'm little Veggie and I'm so small-n-cute-n-huggable but feel the need to pretend I'm
really grumpy when I'm so sweet on the inside and I'd do ANYTHING for my peasant cuz I love him so much but I don't want
him to know that because it'd damage my pride and Kakay'd probably never leave me alone if he knew so I've got to keep it
all bottled up and hidden instead and the only time I can act sweet is when I'm trying to get Onna mad at me for having a
place of such high esteem in Kakay's lil Kaka-heart which I want all to myself cuz I'm the prince and he's my peasant! And
that's why I'm so silly!
Vegeta: (glowing bright red; body twitching nervously) Kaka...rrotto....
Chuquita: WOW Son-kun? How'd you do that?
Goku: After you use the portara fusion with somebody you learn a WHOLE LOT about them. (grins) And all your little heart
strings get intertwined and twisted up and--
Vegeta: (scream) KAKARROTTO BE QUIET!!!!
Goku: Eep. (covers his mouth with his hands) [hops off stage; waves to Chu, Veggie, and the audiance then dashes off to
change into his 3rd costume]
Chuquita: Well, there he goes.
Vegeta: Thank goodness! (redness begins to fade from his face) SOMETIMES I think Kakarrotto phrases things in certain
ways on PURPOSE to make me feel uncomfortable.
Chuquita: Who knows. (to audiance) See you in Part 3 everybody!!!
Vegeta: You're getting sleepy, oh-so sleepy, so sleepy that you feel like just letting me have Kakarrotto and run over Onna
with a big monster truck. So sleepy...
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Will you cut that out? I'm not tired at all!!
Vegeta: Oh... (pouts) Hmmph. (smirks) I wonder what costume Kakarrotto will come back in??
Chuquita: Well, you'll find out.
Vegeta: Really? (smiles)
Chuquita: (cheerfully) But not now!
Vegeta: (glares) That was mean and uncalled for.
Chuquita: (grins) Heh-heh. Until part 3!
Vegeta: (smirks) See you soon readers. (glances off-stage) You too Kakarrotto!!!

Quote of the Week: -from Spongebob Squarepants
Spongebob: (holding up a Krabby Patty) But it's good for you.
Squidward: Are you crazy! That thing is a heartattack on a bun!
Spongebob: No Squidward, I mean good for your soul (wings appear behind him)
Squidward: I have no soul! (evil backround appears behind him) (looks around in shock)
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Hello, hi and welcome Part 2 of "Eye Spy"! I'm Chuquita, and beside me here is--
Vegeta: --Vegeta Oujisama! KING OF THE UNIVERSE AND ALL THAT IT ENCOMPASSES! [still wearing his King costume]
Goku: (happily) And _I'M_ little Veggie!
[Chu & Veggie turn to where Son is sitting to see he is now wearing a Goku-sized Veggie training uniform and his hair is
halfway between regular and ssj; making it appear Veggie-like with the exception of his bangs]
Chuquita: (snickers) Heh-heh-heh. Veggie he DOES look like you.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Kakarrotto that's just plain creepy. Flattering--but creepy.
Goku: I toldja my second costume was under my scuba-diver one, but you didn't believe me, did ya little Veggie?
Vegeta: (still sweatdropping) No, I guess not.
Goku: (to Chu) I still have at least two more costumes depending on how may chapters this story will end up having.
Chuquita: Yeah there should be at least another chapter after this. [slips a cookie under the desk]
Goku: What was that for?
Chuquita: (shrugs) For some reason my temporary tail likes to eat cookies, but no matter how many I feed IT, my stomach
doesn't feel any fuller.
Vegeta: (rolls his eyes) Tails don't LEAD to the stomach, Chu. They just gain more power for themselves by absorbing food
items.
Chuquita: Uhh, mine isn't absorbing, it's literally EATING the cookies.
Goku: (happily) MY tail likes to eat chocolate pudding.
Chuquita: Thick chocolate pudding or thin chocolate pudding?
Goku: Ummm, about the same thickness consistency Veggie has during the times he's a melted puddle of glowing Veggie-goo.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Thanks a lot, Kakarrotto. (pauses) How would YOU know the "consistency" of my "melted puddle" state?
Goku: ... (avoids eye-contact)
Vegeta: (aggitated) WELL!!
Goku: (whistling to himself while ignoring Veggie)
Vegeta: _WELL_!!!!!!
Goku: (little embarassed giggle) You won't BELIEVE some of the things you can sip through a plastic straw--
Vegeta: --ENOUGH!! [covers his ears] THAT'S ALL I REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR, KAKARROT!
Goku: (whispers to Chu) It tasted kinda like that filling they put in the strawberry pop-tarts. Only with a hint of Veggie in
it.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Err, thanks Son-kun. Wait, Veggie WAS the puddle and you sipped a little from it, doesn't that mean
that once he solidified again that he would be missing like an ear or an eyeball or something?
Goku: (shrugs) I dunno.
Vegeta: [looks himself over] I _SEEM_ to have all my body parts in their correct places.
Goku: (now w/a straw in his mouth) Heeheehee.
Vegeta: (angry) PUT THAT THING AWAY!! (snorts) Feh! Cannibal! YOU HAVE MASSES OF CANDY GO EAT THAT! Or maybe you would rather
TIE ME UP AND ROAST ME OVER AN OPEN FLAME!!!
Chuquita: I believe out little King is insulted.
Goku: (nods) Poor, poor little Veggie. (grins) (imitation) Hey everybody, lookit me! I'm little Veggie! I'm little and I'm
grumpy and make evil evil plots to completely rule over the one peasant left of my entire kindgom! Woowoowoo! I think Onna's
a meanie and I'd kill her if I didn't love Kakay so much! Lalalalalalala! I'm the great and powerful saiyajin on ouji and
Kakarrotto should bow at my little feet since I'm his prince! Doodeedoodeedoo!
Vegeta: (mildly bright red) _I_ DON'T SOUND LIKE THAT!!
Chuquita: Well you're partially correct. You don't go "doodeedoodeedoo".
Vegeta: (glaring at her) Are you insinuating the rest of Kakarrotto's horrific imitation of me is all TRUE?
Chuquita: (shrugs) Pretty much, yeah.
Vegeta: (growls and turns in the other direction)
Goku: Veggie? (cocks his head)
Vegeta: ...AND I DON'T HAVE LITTLE FEET!! [snaps at him]
Chuquita: (to Son) You know, if you even consider yourself on the short side; saiyajin-wise, and Raditsu as a normal height,
that makes Veggie even smaller than before.
Goku: (grins) WOW! You're right! (giggles) Veggie'd need like, a little Veggie high-chair to sit at the royal kitchen table
because all the other saiyajins are even bigger than me. (grins at Veggie) Hey little Veggie how did you get so little?
Vegeta: (grits his teeth) I'd rather not talk about it.
Goku: Were you big at one time and got cursed by somebody who made you little or were you born little I've heard that babies
born prematurely grow up littler than babies who aren't were you so eager to exist that you were born beforehand little
Veggie huh?
Vegeta: (twitches in annoyance)
Goku: (w/lil sweet smile) ~*lil-lil Veh-gee?*~
Vegeta: (glows bright red at Son's expression; then sighs) Just start the next chapter already. Kakarrotto's giving me a
headache!
Chuquita: You got it Veggie!
Summary: 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!
Goku: (staring at Veggie) (fake-slurping through the unusually large straw in his mouth) (giggles) *SLLLLLLUUUUUUURRRRRRRRP*!
Vegeta: (snaps at him) WILL YOU CUT THAT OUT!!! [shakes his fist in the air]
Goku: (whimpers and stares down at the floor) Ohh...
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" *MMM*! YUMMY-YUMMY-YUMMY-YUMMY!!! " Goku chanted excitedly between bites of the huge feast set out before him. The
little ouji was grinning widely and standing next to a shocked and now very very worried Chi-Chi.
" Neh-neh-neh-neh-neh-NEH! " Vegeta snickered as he floated around Chi-Chi in a circle.
Chi-Chi clenched her fists in anger, ::Surpressing the urge to deck the Ouji in the face. Surpressing the urge to
deck the Ouji in the face.:: she let out a low growl.
" VEGGIE MAKES THE BEST PASTRIES EVER, CHI-CHAN! " Goku squealed happily.
" Here that Onna? " Vegeta smirked, now floating infront of her, " _I_ make the BEST PASTRIES ever! Even better than
YOURS. Why if you don't watch out _I'M_ going to be taking over cooking for these little Thanksgiving feasts PEMANENTLY. "
" ARRG!! " Chi-Chi screamed, suddenly sending her fist flying into his face.
" YEOW! " Vegeta yelped, falling to the floor and covering his face with his hands.
" Whaf happengd do u? " Goku walked over, his cheeks stuffed with pastries.
" ONNA HIT ME!! " Vegeta yelled, pointing over at Chi-Chi accusingly.
Goku gasped, " You're kidding! "
Vegeta shook his head in a pouty manner, then held out both arms as if he needed a hug.
" Oh CHI-CHAN THIS IS _WONDERFUL_! " Goku sniffled, clasping her hands in his.
" WAHH! " Vegeta fell over, " You're kidding me. " he said sarcastically.
" This must mean you're getting some of your vision back! I'm so happy for you! " Goku threw his arms around Chi-Chi
and hugged her tightly.
" Umm, actually Goku, that's not really what happened. " she sweatdropped.
" Say what? " Goku pulled away, a confused look on his face.
" You see Go-chan. I remembered some advice of Kaio-sama's Kuririn told me about once while you were fighting the
EVIL MENACE the first time. "Sense the evil ki and throw". Well, I sensed the evil ki, and I threw! " Chi-Chi grinned,
throwing a pretend punch in the air.
" Err, actually what Kaio-sama meant was about throwing a genki-dama. Not punches.... " Goku sweatdropped, " Say does
that mean you can still consider Veggie's ki to be "evil"? "
" I'm not evil I'm merely morally impaired. " Vegeta interupted.
" Now Goku, what did Dr. Briefs say about my vision? Do you know how soon I'll get it back? " Chi-Chi asked him.
" Uhhh, uhhh, " Goku started to sweat nervously, " They haven't fully completed analyzing it. Yet. " he made a cheesy
grin, then remembered she couldn't see it and stopped.
" Oh. I see. " Chi-Chi folded her arms, " Well until they're done and I know when it'll fully return I want you to
teach me how to sense ki! "
" Wha--what? " Goku gawked, " But, you said-- "
" I had to try really hard to sense where that evil little Ouji's energy was coming from! If you teach me how to
sense ki I can perform all the tasks I normally do every day until I get my vision back. " she explained.
Goku smiled, " Sure I can teach you how to sense things Chi-chan, but how's that gonna help you cook for
Thanksgiving. FOOD doesn't have any ki. " he said, confused.
" HA! I have EVERYTHING planned out Goku. I keep everything in the kitchen in it's own place so that I'll easily be
able to find it. YOU will have the privledge of being my assistant and be the one who keeps time on the oven, moves things
around, and hands me the ingrediants. I bet we'll be able to get done TWICE as fast as normal. " Chi-Chi said, then smirked,
" AND I just might cook up a little something special just for you. "
" Just for me? " Goku squeaked out.
" Mmm-hmm! "
Goku tossed the muffin he was currently holding over his shoulder, " HOORAY FOR CHI-CHAN! LET'S GET STARTED! " he
grabbed her by the arm and teleported out of the room, leaving a confused Vegeta.
" Baka Onna. " Vegeta grumbled, " 'Sense the evil ki and throw', neh. I'll show her. " he smirked, " I'LL CREATE THE
MOST MOUTH-WATERING DELICIOUS FEAST EVER CONCOCTED IN A COMMON EARTH-KITCHEN! Kakarrotto has already allied with me on just
exactly WHO'S baking abilities he prefers, so this SHOULD prove rather simple. I'll have my servant-maid in NO TIME! " the
ouji pumped his fist in the air, " BWAHAHAHA! I CAN SEE IT ALL NOW... "
:::"Oh V-sama! Your home-made food from our native planet is so much more delicious than Onna's nasty garbage-dump
poor-excuse for nourishment SLOP! I wish I could have it everyday!" Goku mused, on his knees infront of Vegeta.
" Well, lowly peasant, I suppose that COULD be arranged. IF you endebt yourself to me and take your rightful place as
my humble servant-maid. " Vegeta said proudly, gazing down at the larger saiyajin.
" It shall be truely an HONOR to serve you, my prince. " Goku smiled meekly, then stood up, his head bowed, " I will
retrieve my uniform at once. " he nodded.
" And it shall be an honor to serve you MY personal dishes. " the ouji grinned, retorting, " Of course you'll have to
clean every dish I dish out to you. But after all the nourishing saiyajinese food that'll be in your belly it shouldn't be
that hard at all, eh Kakarrotto? "
Goku nodded obediently, " Yes, V-sama! Your wish is my command! "
Vegeta snickered, " Heh-heh-heh... ":::
" ...heh-heh-heh-heh! " the smaller saiyajin rubbed his hands together, then paused, " Well, maybe it won't be
EXACTLY like that. But it'll be close! MUHAHAHHAHAHHA!!!...maybe I should go iron Kakarrotto's servant-maid uniform for him
for when he gets back first... "
" We're HERE! " Goku said happily as he and Chi-Chi finished teleporting.
" Where's "here"? " Chi-Chi asked suspicously.
" Dende's Lookout! " he grinned at her.
" GAH!! " Chi-Chi fell down animé style, " WHAT ARE WE DOING ALL THE WAY UP HERE! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LEARN HOW TO
SENSE KI UP HERE PRACTICALLY NO ONE LIVES AT THIS PLACE!!! "
" This is only a pre-lim-inary test. We're going to start with moving objects in an almost-empty place, then go back
down to the river near our home and you'll try sensing the same ki but also distinguishing one ki from another. " Goku
explained.
Chi-Chi stared at him, or in his direction, in awe, " Wow Go-chan! I'm impressed! You sounded so intellegent and
ordered just now! "
Goku blinked, confused, " I...did? "
" Ahh, what a beautiful morning. " Piccolo sighed as he walked out of Dende's house, then yelped as something shot
from infront of him, " AHH! "
" PICCY-CHAN! "
" FUSION HA!!! " the tall namek shrieked, nerve-shot, then sweatdropped and looked down to see Goku with a big cheesy
grin on his face while hugging Piccolo, " Oh, it's just you. "
" Piccolo still suffering from shell shock, huh? " Goku frowned, patting Piccolo on the back.
" Son, what are YOU doing up here? " Piccolo scratched his head, " Unless??....oh no! Vegeta's accidentally blown
himself up again and now you're re-attaching the label of "little buddy" to me!!! " a look of panic spread across his face.
" No, little Veggie is fine and dandy at the moment. " Goku giggled, letting go, " And you know what? VEGGIE CAN BAKE
PASTRIES!!! " he cheered, " EVEN BETTER THAN CHI-CHAN!!! "
Piccolo glanced over at Chi-Chi, who kept turning her head in various directions, " What's her problem? "
" Oh, Chi-chan's blind. " Goku replied.
Piccolo blinked, then sweatdropped, " Wha-whawha what?? "
The larger saiyajin sniffled, " Chi-chan looked directly into one of my solar flare attacks that I was attacking
Veggie with and now she can't see. " he glanced back at her, then whispered into the tall namek's ear, " Dr. Briefs and Bulma
told me she won't be able to see ever again but I can't bring myself to tell her that. " Goku spoke normally, " Chi-chan
wants to learn how to sense ki so it'll make it a bit easier for her to do everyday stuff. "
" And of course you came to me to help you. " Piccolo said proudly.
" Umm, actually I'm looking for Mr. Popo. " Goku chirped.
Piccolo fell over, " MR. POPO?! "
" Yeah, have you seen him? "
Piccolo sighed, then pointed towards Dende's house, " He's in there watering the plants. " Piccolo said dryly.
" Great! Thanks Piccolo! " Goku said cheerfully as he grabbed Chi-Chi by the hand and ran inside. Piccolo shrugged
and turned to follow then.
" Mr. Popo??? "
" Mr. Popo would be more than happy to help you, Son Goku. " Mr. Popo said while holding his watering can. Goku had
just rehashed the situation to the genie.
" Really! That's great! " Goku clasped his hands together, then turned to Chi-Chi, " Did you hear that Chi-chan? Mr.
Popo's willing to help me with your ki-training! "
" And just HOW is HE going to help us? " she cocked an eyebrow at him.
" Just watch and see! " Goku chirped happily.
" Uh,...Goku? "
" Yes? "
" ... " Chi-Chi sighed, " Nevermind. "
The larger saiyajin turned towards Mr. Popo, " Alright Mr. Popo! Let's begin! Chi-chan you better back up. " he
warned. Chi-Chi shrugged and did so.
" Oooooo! " Mr. Popo chanted, then slowly grew in size until he took up the majority of the lookout platform, save
Dende's house.
" PERFECT! " Goku gave him a thumbs-up, " Now Chi-Chi. I want you to try to find Mr. Popo's ki. "
" Uhhhh, uhhhh. " Chi-Chi squinted, looking around. The genie sweatdropped.
" Mr. Popo feels foolish. "
" You could say that again. " Piccolo squeaked out, smushed between the wall of the house and Mr. Popo's newfound
height and weight.
" Umm, OH! " Chi-Chi perked up. Goku grinned, " ...I'm sorry Go-chan, I can't sense a thing. "
" Ohhh. " Goku hung his head.
" But Mr. Popo is right here. How can Chi-Chi not sense Mr. Popo's presence? MR. POPO IS PRESENTLY TAKING UP ALMOST
THE ENTIRE SPACE ON THIS PLATFORM!!!! " he exclaimed, causing everything around him to shake from the booming vibrations of
his voice.
" SHH! Mr. Popo! Be quiet! " Goku shouted up at him, " Oh-kay Chi-chan. Let's try something even easier. I want you
to POINT to where you think Mr. Popo is. "
" Uhhh, uhhhhhh, " Chi-Chi stammered in the same I-have-no-clue tone of voice she had just used before, " THERE! "
she said determined, pointing out to the edge of the lookout.
Goku sweatdropped, " This is gonna be harder than I thought... "
" Lalala, LALALALA! " Vegeta sang happily as he mixed a batch of some yet-unknown food product. The ouji was still
wearing Goku's spare gi and the larger saiyajin's "servant-maid" costume was drying on an ironing board behind him, " _I_ am
a gen-ee-ious. Ladeedadeeda! Onna's blind! And I am not! And Kakay flips for the food I've got! " he sang, then dumped the
mixture out of the bowl and into what looked like the world's largest muffin tin. He grinned at the audiance, " Heh-heh,
saiyajin-size. "
" What do you think he's doing? " a pair of blueish eyes blinked, confused. Two more figures appeared behind it.
" I'm not sure, I bet it's another one his "plots". " the taller one grimaced.
" Nuh-uh! I bet Toussan's making goodies for Mr. Goten's Daddy so they can have a tea party together! " the smallest
one giggled excitedly, " Just look at how diligent Toussan is! "
" Somehow, Bura, I DOUBT Toussan's planning a "tea party.". " the tallest one rolled his eyes.
Vegeta turned around to see Trunks, Mirai, and Bura staring at him in confusion and awe, " Greetings fellow oujis and
oujo. I'm baking a rather large muffin. " he said proudly.
" No kidding. " Mirai sweatdropped. Vegeta glared at him and Mirai instantly straightened up, a nervous sweat running
down his forehead, " Heh-heh-heh. "
" Do we REALLY count as oujis? " Trunks interupted.
" Hmm? Oh, no. Actually you're more like half-oujis and a half-oujo. " Vegeta corrected himself, " Care to move out
of the way? My freakishly huge pastries need some breathing room. "
" Breathing room? " Bura blinked, then peeked around the corner and fell over at the sight of a similarly
proportioned cake, cookies, fish, chicken, and cheeseburgers, " GAHH!! "
" Heh, and THAT'S just for Kakarrotto! Just wait til I get to actual Thanksgiving feast! " the ouji grinned.
" Oh I _KNEW_ it! I _KNEW_ you were making goodies JUST FOR Mr. Goten's Daddy who you love so very dearly! " Bura
mused, " That's so kind of you Toussan! Mr. Goten's Daddy will be SO SURPRISED at how sweet you can be! "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " Uhh, actually that's not the real reason I-- " he glanced over at the still-drying
servant-maid costume on the ironing board.
" --wait, doesn't Gohan and Goten's Mom always cook for Thanksgiving? " Trunks cocked an eyebrow.
" He's up to something. " Mirai groaned.
" Ahh, Onna WOULD be cooking Thanksgiving dinner, IF she had not been BLINDED BY THE LIGHT of one of Kakarrotto's
solar flare attacks he created during our morning spar. " Vegeta proclaimed overdramtically, " Poor Onna! It seems she might
NEVER be able to see AGAIN! " he fake-sobbed, then broke into an evil cackle, " You should've seen her on the car-ride up
here! I thought if she didn't go mad from being blind she'd go mad from the horrific images I implanted into her peanut-sized
brain via a few melodious subconscious suggestions I ignited to slip through her thoughts. "
" Oh God, I can barely imagine what you did to her. " Mirai cringed.
" Not "did", my alternate future son, it was what I SAID. " Vegeta turned the oven on infront of him and the jumbo
sized muffin began to bake, " Shame she couldn't see me. I pulled several of my newest fighting techniques on Kakarrotto on
the way up. The poor little peasant. I scared him half to death but it merely added to Onna's newfound HORROR of being less
able to protect her "Go-chan". " he spat out the nickname.
" Wow Toussan, you are so sneaky. " Bura giggled, " Did you give Mr. Goten's Daddy any "buddy-smooches"? "
" What? NO!!! " Vegeta snapped at her, his face bright red. He frowned, " There WAS one awkward moment where we hit
half a dozen bumps in the road... " he embrassingly reminiscenced, " Did you know that instead of bright red Kakarrotto's
face glows a bright pink-ish color? "
" Can't say I have. " Mirai sweatdropped.
" Aww, Mr. Goten's Daddy loves you back! " Bura squealed, hugging Vegeta's leg, " I'm so happy for you two. "
" Why do I even bother to explain. " Vegeta felt one of his bottom eyelids twitch.
Meanwhile, Trunks had snuck over to where a freshly baked, normal sized pie sat and grinned evilly, " Heh-heh-heh. "
he grabbed a pepper-shaker and shook it over the pie, " Too bad Goten isn't here to see this. " he snickered, then ducked
underneath the table and casually made his way back over to where his siblings and parent were still talking. Trunks stopped
at the exact spot he was before he left and smirked.
" ...and so Kakarrotto then went off with Onna to "train" her to sense ki. " Vegeta finished explaining, then
mockingly folded his arms, " Not that it'll do any good anyway; she'll STILL be walking into walls. "
" You don't know that Toussan. Chi-Chi's a pretty, err, determined individual. " Mirai said, looking for the right
descriptive word.
" You mean ignorant, don't you? " Vegeta smirked, " After all, the race is over before I even won and I didn't have
to lift a finger. Well, unless you count cooking up all THIS stuff. " he pointed to the various freshly made foods in the
kitchen, " By the way I'm going to be baking a lot more food around here once Kakarrotto becomes my servant-maid so you
better get used to it. "
" Hey Bura, try some of this pie, it's delicious. " Trunks snickered, holding out the apple pie.
" Who do you think I AM? Goten?! " Bura scoffed, " You probably POISONED it or something! " she exclaimed, walking
away.
" Hmmph. SHOWS WHAT YOU KNOW! " Trunks shouted after her, " Hey Mirai can you hand me that tabasco fires-of-the-
-underworld hot-sauce? "
" Hmm? Yeah sure. " Mirai gave it to him, not really paying attention. He had turned the TV on and now watching the
local news. Trunks opened the whole bottle of hot-sauce and dumped it ontop of the pie.
" Ahh, cooking is a beautiful thing. " he smirked, then surpressed his laughter and tugged on Vegeta's gi shirt,
" Hey Dad you forgot this. "
Vegeta took the pie and put it on the counter, then whipped out a Capsule Corp capsule, tossed it to the ground, and
instantly capsulized his many edible creations, including the pie, " There we go. " he picked up the capsule, " If Bulma
asks where I am tell her I went to close a business deal with my future servant-maid. Bye! " he waved, then teleported out
of the room.
Trunks stood there staring at the spot Vegeta had just teleported from, a sneaky expression on his face, " I don't
know why, but I'm really looking forward to dinner tonight... "
" HA! GOTCHA! " Chi-Chi grinned victoriously, tightly gripping Mr. Popo's sleeve.
" HOORAY FOR CHI-CHAN! " Goku cheered her on, " You finally caught him! "
Mr. Popo was now back to his normal size. He groaned, " Mr. Popo feels like the fake plastic cheese held within very
cheap mouse-traps. "
" Alright Chi-chan, now I want you to try to find Mr. Popo while he's moving this time. It's gonna be much harder
than just locating a standing target. Mr. Popo can jump very high and bounce around fast. "
Chi-Chi glanced in Mr. Popo's direction, " HE can "bounce around"? " she said skeptically.
" Trust me on this one Chi-chan! " Goku begged her, then smiled, " And after you tag Mr. Popo this time I'll start
help you distinguish between two different ki's. Piccolo will help me with that one. You'll have to be able to tell the
difference between two people's ki's; and not in their strength, but in their identity. Each person's ki feels a little
different. Even if they share the same power level. " he explained.
" Oh-kay. " Chi-Chi nodded, then smirked at the genie, " This is going to be easy. "
" Please excuse Mr. Popo's opinion but Mr. Popo observes that it shall prove a hard task to catch Mr. Popo when our
speeds are compared to one anothers. "
" Whatever you say. " Chi-Chi shrugged, then took a step towards Mr. Popo and gasped in shock as he lept high into
the air, then came down again and began to bounce around the lookout as if on a turbo-powered pogo stick. Chi-Chi
sweatdropped, " Why me. "
Goku watched her as she raced around the lookout, trying but ultimately failing each time in tagging the chubby
genie, " Poor Chi-chan, she'll be awhile. " he sat down to watch, then glanced to his right and gawked to see one of the
floor tiles flip over to reveal a slice of chocolate cake. The large saiyajin looked around, awaiting an eerie twilight zone
theme music to appear in the backround. Then, when it didn't, he decided to take the piece of cake and shove it in his mouth,
" Mmm, is es guph. " a slow smile spread across his face, " Ahh! " Goku patted his stomach after swallowing the cake, " That
was DELICIOUS!! "
" *Flip*flip*flip*! " several other surrounding tiles flipped over to reveal similar pieces of cake.
Goku stared at the slices, confused. He then grinned and shrugged, " Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. " he
grabbed all 4 slices and ate them at once, " I wonder how they got there though... " he scratched his head, then watched in
awe as more tiles of cake flipped up, only this time leading in a straight line up to a large, presently-unnoticed curtain
hanging over the entrence-way to one of the rooms in the lookout. Goku grinned, stood up, and began to follow the line of
cake slices, eating them one at a time as he went, " Heeheehee, piece of cake. " he giggled, then paused right infront of
the curtain. The large saiyajin reached to grab one of the curtain's sides and nearly fell backward when they instantly
flew to the side to reveal a massive amount of food, " OOOOOOOooooooooOOOOOOOOOooooooh! " he oohed excitedly, grabbing a
chunk out of the monster-sized muffin, " I wonder who all this really yummy could be for? " Goku smiled impishly.
" Yes, I wonder WHO it could be. " a little figure smirked, emerging from behind the muffin.
" VEGGIE! " Goku squealed, startling the ouji by tackling him to the ground, " Aww little Veggie I missed you! Did
you miss me? " he stared at Vegeta w/big sparkily eyes.
" Uhhh... " Vegeta's face glowed bright red. The ouji quickly shook it off, then nodded to the pastry paradise he had
set up, " What do you think? "
" I think my little Veggie missed me very VERY much to go through all this just to make my tummy full of delicious
goodies! " Goku snuggled the ouji closer, " Thank you little Veggie. "
" Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh... " the ouji melted into a glowing red puddle on the floor, " Don't mention it. "
Goku bounced over to the large buffet Vegeta had set out and tossed several cookies in his mouth, " MmmMMMMmmm! My
little Veggie makes the yummiest cookies EVER! "
" *A-hem*! "
Goku cocked his head towards Vegeta, who was now solid again and folding his arms.
" You can't just have all of that for FREE, you pig. " he snorted. Goku frowned.
" Veggie's gonna make me PAY MONEY for his yummy goodies? " the larger saiyajin sniffled.
" You DO have to pay for what you eat, but not till you get back to my house. It's FOR a fairly cheap price too. "
the ouji boasted. Goku grinned.
" CREDIT! ALRIGHT LITTLE VEGGIE! " he cheered, then began to stuff his face again. Halfway through devouring the food
Vegeta had prepared Goku took a chance to breathe and spoke up, " So Veggie *URP* exactly how much money do I owe you for
this? " Goku said cheerfully.
" Oh, I wouldn't say MONEY. " Vegeta smirked.
Goku instantly froze in place and turned his head towards Vegeta wearing a nervous expression, " Say what? "
" What you're eating there doesn't cost MONEY, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta snickered, " What do _I_ need more money for? I'm
filthy stinkin rich! But you know what I _DO_ need from YOU? " he walked closer towards Goku, who felt a tinge of panic in
his body and backed up.
" No Veggie, I don't... " Goku squeaked out.
" Well, I'll tell you. " Vegeta stated calmly, " Kaka-chan, the large amount of food you ate has cost me a, "pretty
penny". And you've just endebted yourself to a little "community service". "
Goku let out a sigh of relief, " Oh thank God! Is that all. " he smiled.
" Fortunately for you, since our saiyajin community only consists of two people, that would mean me. "
Goku's face dropped, " Oh....boy. " he watched as the happy little ouji walked over to another curtain and ripped it
clear off its hinges to reveal the servant-maid costume Vegeta had made for the larger saiyajin, hanging on a clothes hanger.
Goku shrieked in terror, " AHHHHHH!!! IT BURNS! IT BURNS!! "
" Come on Kakay, this way you can work off all those calories you just ate, AND the debt you now owe me. " Vegeta
grabbed the uniform and held it up infront of Goku.
" NUH-UH VEGGIE! NO NO NO NO NO!!! I'd rather eat something Chi-chan cooked while she's blind than wear that creepy
dress ever EVER again! " Goku panicked, squinting his eyes tight. He felt something latch onto him and opened his eyes to see
the little ouji hugging onto him tightly and staring up with an overdramatic hurt expression on his face.
" Kakay doesn't love his little buddy anymore? " Vegeta fake-sniffled.
" OF COURSE I LOVE YOU, VEGGIE! VERY VERY MUCH! " Goku quickly replied, " But I, I CAN'T wear that, THING! " he
pointed to the servant-maid uniform, " Not AGAIN!! "
" I understand Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said sadly, " You think you're too good to pay off the LARGE DEBT you owe to me
for eating all the food I worked SO VERY HARD to bake JUST FOR YOU because you're embarassed of being my servant-maid. "
" ... " Goku hung his head in pity, " OHHHHHHHh.....*SIGH*. " he held out his hands, " Give it here Veggie, I'll go
change. " he groaned, depressed.
" YAY! " Vegeta said happily, plopping the outfit in Goku's arms. Goku sat it on the table and began taking his boots
off. Vegeta sweatdropped, " HEY HEY HEY!! NOT _HERE_ YOU BAKA! DON'T GET CHANGED RIGHT INFRONT OF ME!! USE THE BATHROOM OR
SOMETHING!!! " he shrieked, his face glowing bright red.
Goku sighed, " Yes little Veggie. "
" I DID IT! _AGAIN_! " Chi-Chi cheered, holding up Mr. Popo's hat. Mr. Popo sweatdropped.
" Mr. Popo would like to know if Chi-Chi would please return Mr. Popo's hat to him. " he asked.
" Hmm? " she looked down at the genie and blinked, " OH! Heh-heh-heh, sorry! " Chi-Chi laughed embarassingly, handing
his hat over.
" *Whew* Mr. Popo's work here is done. " Mr. Popo said with relief, wandering back into the house.
" HEY GOKU! " Chi-Chi called out to him, " GOKU I DID IT! I TAGGED HIM!....Goku? " she blinked, then began to get
worried when she heard no answer, ::Hmm, I bet this is just another test. Now that I've found Popo while he was moving Goku
wants me to try and find him without any hints:: she nodded, attempting to form some sort of logical reason as to why he
hadn't answered yet. Chi-Chi concentrated, then perked up at a fairly large power and crept sneakily towards it.
" Bill, bill, bill, bill, ad, bill, bil-- "
" HA!! "
" --OOF!! " Piccolo yelped as he felt a fist make contact with his stomach, causing the mail in his was holding to go
flying out of his hands and all over the floor. He looked down and sweatdropped to see Chi-Chi in an attacking position,
" Uhh, Chi-Chi? "
" Piccolo? " she looked up at him, surprised.
" Warn me next time you're going to do that, oh-kay. " he twitched in a slight annoyance.
" Oh! Piccolo I'm so sorry! " Chi-Chi gasped, " I, I thought this was part of the next test. I kind of mistook your
ki for Goku's. "
" Which is, ironically what the next 'test' Son's come up with. " Piccolo folded his arms, " It's not just enough to
sense someone's ki, but you have to be able to tell one person's ki from another's or else, well what just happened here will
end up happening a lot in the future, you get the idea. " he nodded.
" Oh. Good point. "
" Son and I will both be helping you with this test, once he gets out here anyway... " Piccolo shrugged, then reached
down to pick up his mail.
" AH-HA! I FOUND HIM! " Chi-Chi grinned, then sped off.
" AHH! NO! " Piccolo yelled as her speed sent the mail floating up into the air. Piccolo quickly hurried to grab it
all before any of the mail fell over the side of the lookout. A single letter fluttered to the near edge of the lookout. The
tall namek dived and caught it just in time, " *whew*! " he sat up and wiped the sweat off his forehead, " I _THOUGHT_ I
moved back up here to get AWAY from those two. " Piccolo groaned, then smiled, " Oh well, I saved all the mail, that counts
for something. " he said, then headed back inside Dende's house through the same door Mr. Popo had just used.
" Goku? Goku where are you! I'm not joking this time! " Chi-Chi said loudly, wandering though one of the building on
the lookout.
" AhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! " an unbelievably content groan
instantly echoed throughout the corridors. Chi-Chi froze and a large sweatdrop appeared on the side of her head. The cry
might not have mattered to her so much if her newly acute hearing hadn't instantly picked up a name to identify the sound.
" The EVIL sound is more like it. " she gritted her teeth, " OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi screamed angrily, sliding into the
room the sound came from.
" OHHH KAKAY! That was SO *pant* EXHILARATING!!" the ouji squealed.
Chi-Chi felt her entire body twitch, " OOOOOOOOUJI!!!!! " she kicked down a nearby door to reveal two more very large
ki powers; one which, to Chi-Chi at least, felt nothing less than pure evil.
" Heh--hi Chi-chan. " Goku said nervously, wearing his servant-maid uniform. He was standing next to a raised table
where the little ouji was laying belly-down on with no more than a medium-sized towel covering his bottom. Vegeta's tail
swushed back and forth teasingly at her.
" GOKU WHAT IN THE HECK ARE YOU DOING!!! " Chi-Chi screamed, enraged.
" OH! Chi-chan it's not my fault! I didn't wanna do it I really didn't! You see Veggie gave me all this food but in
order to pay for it he made me do--- "
" --rub a little more on the upper right, oh-kay, Kaka-chan? " Vegeta handed a bottle of body lotion to the larger
saiyajin.
" *sigh* Yes Veggie. " Goku looked downward, his face flushing with embrassment as he squirted some more lotion into
his hands and went back to work giving the ouji his backrub, " Feel better now? "
" Oh MUCH better Kakay. Thank you for asking. " Vegeta smirked.
" GOKU DON'T YOU _DARE_ RUB _ANY_ OF THAT EVIL LITTLE MONSTER'S BODY PARTS! DO YOU HEAR ME!!! " Chi-Chi grabbed Goku
by the back collar and paused, " ...AND WHAT DOES HE HAVE YOU WEARING!!! "
" I'm just rubbing Veggie's back, Chi-chan. And I'm wearing my *cringe* "servant-maid" costume. " for the first time
Goku felt relieved she couldn't see him in this state, " I ate all of little Veggie's pastries and now he's making me give
him rub-downs as a payment for what I ate. "
" Yup! " Vegeta chirped, grinning at Chi-Chi, " Kakay's rubbed just about everything! "
" WHY YOU LITTLE-- " Chi-Chi growled, stepping towards him.
" Tsk tsk, Onna. It's bad manners to "interupt". Besides I could've ordered Kakay to do something MUCH WORSE than
just rub my back for me. " Vegeta snickered, " He does such a GOOOOOOOOD job of it by the way. "
" THAT'S IT! " Chi-Chi snapped, " GOKU! WE'RE GOING HOME! NOW! "
" But Chi-chan what about the rest of your training? " Goku blinked, surprised.
" FORGET THE REST OF MY "TRAINING"! I'LL LEARN ON MY OWN! " she grabbed him by the wrist only to feel Goku was now
wearing "ouji-gloves". Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " And change back into your regular clothes. NOBODY wants to see you like that!"
" *A-hem*! " a loud cough came from the table.
" EXCEPT SICK LITTLE OUJIS LIKE YOU!! " she screamed at Vegeta, who merely cackled with delight. Goku was changing
his clothes back into his gi in the backround, " YOU KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD DO GOKU? WE SHOULD BRING THE _OUJI_ HOME AND COOK
HIM FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER!! HE'S PRACTICALLY ALREADY _BASTED_!!! "
" Hai, Kakarrotto-chan thinks I AM _VERY_ delicious. " Vegeta snickered.
" LITTLE VEGGIE I NEVER SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT!! " Goku gawked with embarassment, then took Chi-Chi's hand, " Come
on Chi-chan. I'll take you back to our house. " he sighed.
" Aren't you gonna take ME home again too, Kakay? " Vegeta fake-pouted.
" YOU DID WHAT!!! " Chi-Chi shrieked. Goku tried to calm her down.
" Chi-chan you're reading too much into things! "
" HE SAID "TAKE ME HOME AGAIN", GOKU!!! " Chi-Chi cried.
" Shhh! Chi-chan Veggie is merely playing with your mind. " Goku glanced over at Vegeta and narrowed his eyes,
" You've been a bad little boy Veggie. And just for that I'm leaving with Chi-chan and you can teleport yourself home to
think about what you did! " he shook his finger at Vegeta, then teleported Chi-Chi and himself away.
Vegeta grinned evilly, " Oh I like THIS game... "
" You just LEFT him there! THAT'S the WORST punishment you could think of?! " Chi-Chi gawked as she paced the kitchen
floor.
" Well I didn't wanna be TOO harsh on my little Veggie. After all he DID go through all the trouble of making me
those yummy goodies. " Goku nodded meekly, " And they were SO delicious. Even better than yours! " he chirped happily.
Chi-Chi deeply surpressed the urge to destroy the next object she saw and placed her fingers on her forehead, " Deep
healing breaths...deep healing breaths... " she repeated nervously to herself, " *Whew*. " she removed her hand, " Even so, "
she said to him, " couldn't you have thought up even a MILD punishment for him! THIS IS THE SECOND STORY IN A ROW WHERE HE'S
GOTTEN YOU INTO THAT SERVANT-MAID OUTFIT! DOESN'T THAT TELL YOU SOMETHING!!! "
" Umm, that Veggie likes me in skirts? " Goku cocked his head, confused.
" NO! " Chi-Chi snapped back, " Well, maybe he does, who knows? BUT THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER! THE ANSWER I WAS
LOOKING FOR IS THAT YOU'RE LETTING VEGETA PUSH YOU AROUND TOO MUCH!! THIS ISN'T HIS PLANET!! IT'S OURS!!! "
" I know that Chi-chan but I love my little Veggie too much to be mean and nasty to him. " Goku shook his head
sorrowfully.
" Ugh! AND STOP USING THE WORD "MY" BEFORE THAT SICK BABY-NAME YOU GAVE HIM!! " Chi-Chi exclaimed.
" But Veggie IS mine, Chi-chan. " Goku corrected her.
" Please tell me I did not just hear that. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " Listen. Let's just forget about the Ouji for a
little while and continue with the dinner WE are now making for Thanksgiving. "
" We? " Goku blinked.
" Yes Goku. Since I am now partially blind; if you can count sensing ki as a type of eyesight; but still literally
unable to see, I'm going to need your help. You will hand me items, take things out of the oven, and in general do everything
that requires a maximum amount of eyesight to do. _I_ will prepare the food. Got it? " she explained.
" I have got it, Chi-chan! " Goku saluted her, " Let's get to work! "
" Turkey? "
" CHECK! "
" Gravy? "
" CHECK! "
" Utencils? "
" CHECK! "
Goku continued in his job of handing various items to Chi-Chi, who had been working non-stop for the past two hours,
" Wow Chi-chan, you're doing a great job for someone who can't see what they're doing! " he said, trying to peek over her
shoulder.
" NO DON'T LOOK! " she shrieked, covering the plate with her hands. Goku moved them away and yelped in terror. The
entire plate looked like it had been hit by an explosive. The turkey was in pieces, there was mashed potatoes everywhere,
and the amount of cranberry sauce smothered over the table alone made it look like a deserted battlefield for dozens of
very tiny warriors.
" I don't think even _I_ would eat THAT. " Goku felt his bottom left eyelid fidget, " CHI-CHAN WHAT HAPPENED!? "
" OHHH! GOKU I CAN'T DO THIS! SENSING KI DOESN'T HELP ME ANY NOW! FOOD HAS NO KI TO SENSE!! " Chi-Chi sobbed, " If
this keeps up I'll never be able to cook ANYTHING EVER AGAIN!! "
Goku's pupils shrunk to a minuscule of their size, " Nuh--never AGAIN?? "
Chi-Chi's shoulders slumped, " Goku it's impossible for me to make ANYTHING this way. We might as well go out to eat
for the rest of our lives! " she groaned.
" Chi-chan no don't talk like that! " Goku gulped, " If you aren't able to cook for me who IS? " he grabbed her hands
and sniffled, " There isn't anybody else on the planet who can create such delicious food in massive quantities like you
can! "
" *RING*RING*RING*RING*! " the telephone rang loudly as if on cue. Chi-Chi turned a pale color.
" I'm sensing the evil ki again... "
" I'll get it! " Goku said cheerfully, ignoring her.
" NO GOKU NO! " Chi-Chi cried out, grabbing him by the waist in an attempt to keep him from reaching the phone, " Let
it ring! It's that twisted little Ouji on the other line I just KNOW IT! "
" Little Veggie's on the phone? " he grinned happily, " I wanna talk to little Veggie! "
" NO YOU DON'T! " she yelled, angrier this time.
" Hello? " Goku giggled into the phone. Chi-Chi looked up to see he was holding the portable phone and sweatdropped.
" Hi Honey, I'm home. " a familiar voice snickered on the other end.
" Awwwwwwwww, Chi-chan little Veggie called me his "honey"! " the larger saiyajin felt his face light up a bright
pink color, " Heeheeheehee. "
" Yes, "honey". Like the sweet sweet substance the worker bee desperately seeks out to take even but a glimpse of its
sheer magnificence. A sticky, pure golden puddle dropped off of the top of an ice-cream cone from heaven onto this
undeserving planet and it's unworthy, primitive residents who can but merely grasp its true beauty. " the ouji smooth-talked
him.
" ...oh. " Goku squeaked out, his face still glowing bright pink. He turned to Chi-Chi, embarassed, " Veggie thinks
I'm pretty, at least, I think that's what he meant. " the large saiyajin giggled embarassingly, " Oh I feel so SILLY! " he
rested his hands on his cheeks.
" GIVE ME THAT! " Chi-Chi snapped, yanking the phone out of Goku's hand. He sweatdropped, his face returning to
normal color, " WHADDA YOU WANT _THIS_ _TIME_, OUJI? " she barked into the phone, then muttered, " As if I didn't already
know. "
" Actually Onna, I was just wondering exactly how FAR you've gotten into YOUR version of this year's Thanksgiving
Feast. I'm already on the eighth course if you were wondering. " Vegeta smirked.
Chi-Chi covered the phone's mouth-piece and looked down at her 'turkey' on the plate, " Uhh-- "
" I bet you haven't gotten past the appitizer yet, have you Onna? " Vegeta said mockingly, " What a shame. The last
of your talents, put to waste. It looks like I CAN do any and everything better than you after all. "
" YOU CAN NOT YOU EVIL LITTLE CREEP!! " Chi-Chi yelled at him.
" Onna, I can cook better than you can, I can spar better than you can, I can SEE better than you can, and I'll live
INFINITELY longer than you can. " Vegeta boasted, " It seems that I've got you beaten all around in EVERY thinkable
category! I guess that makes you obsolete, huh. I don't see why Kakarrotto doesn't leave your right now to come live with
his ruler, prince, and little buddy; me. "
" I can give you one good reason why my Go-chan wouldn't leave me for you. " Chi-Chi smirked.
" Organs have nothing to do with it Onna, I have absolutely no interest in romantically seducing myself a princess. "
Vegeta snorted, his face a light redish tone.
" That's NOT what I meant. I know my Go-chan and he would stand by me no matter HOW much more tempting living with
YOU seems to him at the moment! " Chi-Chi said determindly. Goku paused and sweatdropped in the background, dropping several
bags and suitcases to the floor, then pushing them under a nearby rug and whistled innocently to himself.
" Aww, what a shame. I was GOING to bake him a PIE too. " Vegeta said, sounding mock-disappointed.
" Pie? " Goku's eyes widened as he teleported to a hovering position next to Chi-Chi, " What KIND of pie; little
Veggie 'o mine? " he asked w/big sparkily eyes.
" A scrumptious chocolate-pudding filled pie with a crust made of thick chocolate fudge and cover in whipped cream
and those little rainbow sprinkles you adore so much. " Vegeta rubbed his hands together maniacally.
" Ohhhhhh, THAT kind of pie.... " Goku mused, trailing off. He was trying his best to keep his urge to teleport to
Capsule Corp down to a minimum, " What ELSE are you making right now little Veggie? " Goku asked, a trail of drool dribbling
out of the side of his mouth.
" Well, let's see what I've got here. " Vegeta replied calmly, inspecting the truely proffessional-looking setup of
food, " Ahh, there's some cake-- "
" OOoh. "
" --and some fried chicken,
" OOoh! "
" and some barbaqued cheeseburgers, "
" OOoh!! "
" and some specialty berry sauce-- "
" OOoh!!!! " the larger saiyajin began to pant on the phone, " What else what else? "
" Hmm. I ALSO happen to have the most beautiful grand turkey cooking in the oven, it's simply delicous. " Vegeta
snickered, " You should see what ELSE I have for you here, Kakay. It's all so good. Shame you'd rather stay with Onna while
I can give you SO MUCH MORE. Why, you could be MY assistant. "
Goku quickly turned to Chi-Chi with an eager look on his face, " CHI-CHAN-CAN-I-GO-SEE-VEGGIE-AND-BE-HIS-ASSISTANT?
I'LL-HAVE-SO-MUCH-FUN-I-WON'T-KNOW-HOW-TO-DEAL-WITH-MYSELF!! " he squealed quickly.
" NO YOU CAN'T! YOU'RE ALREADY _MY_ ASSISTANT! " Chi-Chi screamed, " _I_ HAVE A TURKEY, DON'T I!? "
Goku stared at the mess she had made on the table, " Uhhh---Veggie-I'll-be-right-there! "
" WHAT?! " Chi-Chi shrieked.
" YES! " Vegeta cheered.
" SON GOKU DON'T YOU _DARE_! " she threatened him.
" I'm sorry Chi-chan! It'll only be for a while! I'll come back I promise I just wanna see what my little Veggie is
up to! " Goku pleaded, placing his two fingers on his forehead and teleporting away, leaving Chi-Chi there to panic.
" GOKU!! YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE ME HERE! " Chi-Chi cried, " I'M BLIND, REMEMBER!! BLIIIHIIIHHIIIHIIIND!!!! "
" Little Veggie? " Goku looked around Capsule Corp, " Little Veggie where are you I'm ready to play your assistant
in food-making land? " he giggled excitedly.
" Here I am, Kakay. " a little figure said in a sing-song voice from the kitchen. The sound of a phone hanging up
soon followed.
" YAY! IT'S VEGGIE-TIME FOR ME! " the large saiyajin dashed into the room with a look of pure happiness on his face;
what he saw took his breath away. The room was neatly set up like a fancy European resturant. Plates-full of Thanksgiving
dishes along with dozens of saiyajin ones decorated every countertop and table in the room. Infront of the oven stood the
little figure from before; flipping a pancake while wearing a chef's smock and hat overtop his boxers. Vegeta's gi was no
longer present. He smirked, almost-instantly sensing the other, food-loving saiyajin, and turned to him.
" Care to join me Kakay? It's very lonely without someone to try all my dishes for me. " Vegeta grinned evilly,
walking toward him, " You see I need someone with a very, HONEST opinion of my food. "
" OH VEGGIE! " Goku grabbed the ouji into a surprise hug, " Little Veggie I would be HONORED to try all your yummy
foods! I bet they're all just as sweet as YOU ARE! "
" Heh-heh-heh, heh-heh-heh-heh-heh. " Vegeta giggled with embarassment, still being hugged, " REALLY, Kakay-chan? "
" Mmm-hmm! My little Veggie is the sweetest little buddy in the land! " Goku hugged tighter.
" Well then... " Vegeta trailed off, glowing bright red, " LET'S GET STARTED! _WE_ have a lot of different food to
taste together Kakarrotto. "
" YEAH! " Goku cheered, " I LOVE PLAYING TASTE-TEST GAMES! "
" Yes Kaka-chan. " Vegeta smirked sneakily over at the food, " So do I... "
*****************************************************************************************************************************
3:00 AM 11/3/2002
END OF PART TWO!
Chuquita: And so ends Part 2. (groans) My head is pounding.
Goku: (sad) Aww, poor Chu-sama had a long week?
Chuquita: (nods) Yeah, what with a school project, halloween, and shopping I had whole days this week where I barely got
anything written. (perks up) But that's oh-kay because Part 2 is now finished and ready to load! Course once your reading
this it'll mean I've already loaded it. I noticed some parts to this chapter got a little weird. But I blame that on the
result of me typing late at night. If I look real hard I can recognize where I stop and start writing at different intervels
of the day. Like for instance, from "for someone who can't see what they're doing!" to where it says "END OF PART TWO" was
something I wrote late last night, as compared to a chunk that was before that and this Corner which I'm presently writing at
5:37 PM 11/3/2002. Big difference. (nods)
Goku: (cocks his head) I don't really see any difference.
Vegeta: (smirks) I always start to win the battle for my peasant when Chu gets sleepy. (rubs his hands together evilly)
Chuquita: (slightly frustrated twitch) Vedge...
Vegeta: (to Son) She knows I'm right. It's harder to find a way for me to lose when the her brain gets too foggy.
Chuquita: (glares at him) Yeah well I've had plenty of sleep now and you KNOW you're not going to win by the end of this fic
anyway!
Goku: (grins) It is poor little Veggie's destiny to lose.
Vegeta: (bluntly) Shuddup Kakarrotto.
Goku: Heeeee~~~ (big goofy grin)
Chuquita: Oh, I've decided to use the idea T-sama put in the review of using Hiyah dragon/Icarus as a seeing-eye animal for
Chi-Chi in the next chapter. The last time I had Hiyah in a story was in "I Do?" where he just wandered into the Son home and
started to eat the furniture while Goku was home alone. And I know Chi-Chi isn't that fond of Hiyah--
Vegeta: (smirks) Not nearly as much as she isn't fond of me--
Chuquita: --so I think having him lead her around'll be pretty funny. I'm going to have Gohan suggest it to her for her trip
back to Capsule Corp. She's journeying back there after Son-kun to stop Veggie; again.
Vegeta: (melencoly) Ahh yes, "again". Say Chu? Does Onna get her eyesight back at the end or not?
Chuquita: I'm not telling you yet Veggie!
Vegeta: (grumbles) I bet she DOES get it back.
Goku: (blows a little kazoo) *FWEEP*!
Vegeta: Oh not THAT again! I thought we got rid of those!
Goku: Silly Veggie! These are episode whistles (giggles) It's Ji-chan week!
Vegeta: What?
Chuquita: Remember when you blew that little kazoo after the episode where Buu turned Chi-Chi into an egg and stepped on her
aired.
Vegeta: (sighs) Ahh, what a glorious day in saiyajin history THAT was.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Well, for those of you who're watching the daily new episodes, this week marks the first appearance of
the portara!
Goku: (happily) *FWEEP*!
Chuquita: Veggie's GRAND RE-ENTERANCE and that funny "big shimmery eyes" snipit he does.
Goku: *FWEEP*!
Chuquita: Vejitto's birthday/being born.
Goku: *FWEEP*!
Chuquita: AND the fusion-baby's first full episode battling Buu!
Goku: *FWEEP*FWEEP*FWEEP*!!
Vegeta: You know if I didn't know better I'd say that everything I say gets bounced back to me in an ironic twist somewhere
in the near future.
Goku: *FWEEP*! (sweetly) What do you mean little Veggie who-helped-me-make-my-very-own-fusion-baby?
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) (glowing a mild red) When I was preparing to return I felt bad that you wouldn't be there to greet me
because I thought you were dead and gone; (twitches) however when I got back to Earth not only were you there AND alive for
the past several minutes but I also ended up as your, umm, (bits his lip in embarassment) (glances at Chu)
Chuquita: Don't look at me I don't know what they call 'um. Fusion partners? The dub called them partners. "Buu: You have 5
minutes to find a suitable partner. Get going!" I don't think the sub even HAD a term for it.
Goku: (squeals) FUSION BUDDIES!
Chuquita: You can't use buddies.
Goku: (pouts) Why not? I like that word.
Vegeta: (glowing) (frustrated) Kakarrotto if you were to use the same term for someone you find a "special friend" as the
same term for someone you unintentionally created another being with through the use of a fusion that would mean you'd have
several more "fusion babies" with several more people who held that title in the past!
Goku: ...oh. (perks up) Well I like our fusion babies Veggie! Goggie and Ji-chan are a lot of fun!
Chuquita: AND they're both starring in the Christmas Special.
Vegeta: (embarassed at Son) I don't know HOW you got me into that fusion-bond thing of yours anyway.
Goku: (grins) Heeheehee. [holds up a portara] Veggie wanna be my "special friend"?
Vegeta: (shrieks) GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!!!
Goku: (giggles at the fact that he's frightening Veggie) See how they sparkle with magical powers Veggie? [holds it infront
of Veggie's face] Magical BONDING powers.
Vegeta: [backs up until he ultimately falls off his chair] (shakes his fist in the air) YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE JUST NOW!!
Goku: Heeheeheeheehee, yes.
Chuquita: (enlightened) I thought it was kinda odd how the portaras just randomly sparkled like that during that episode.
Vegeta: (glares at her) You know, you could've just WAITED until it AIRED to watch and be surprised at the same time as
everyone else.
Chuquita: I like spoilers, so sue me. (shrugs) (proudly) I have a copy of both the dub and sub versions of this episode. (to
Son) You know if I could I'd splice 'um together so I kept Veggie's english voice but your original one.
Vegeta: But THEN the episode would make no sense would it? It'd look like I'm talking to Kakarrotto but can't understand a
word he's saying!!
Goku: (giggles) I bet that'd sound funny.
Chuquita: Well I thought dub Veggie gave the better performance than the sub while the sub Son-kun did a better job voicing
that particular episode. OH! And someone e-mailed (or maybe put in a review for part 1; I can't remember ain't I awful?
::sweatdrops::) me about the "point of fusion" I used back in "It Takes two to Tango" and I looked back at the sub and I
found out she was right that it's the same fusion point used in the episode. (grins) And I wrote that even before I saw the
episode.
Vegeta: (mockingly) Yes, let's move onto an even MORE embarassing topic for me to talk about!
Goku: (taking him literally) (happily) OH-KAY! Chu-sama do you think we're gonna eventually fanfic-ize that comic where I
have my 5 imaginary fusion-babies the "old fashioned" way?
Chuquita: (shrugs) I dunno, I wanna get through some of the other stories on my future fic list before/if I write that one in
story form. The only problem with it is it's so earth-shattering long I'm libal to end up with 6 chapters!
Goku: And with the size of each chapter in these stories that's pretty darn long.
Chuquita: (cringes) Yah. I'm not really an "epic" writer. My stories hardly last longer than 4 chapters.
Goku: (to Veggie) Well I think it would be really nice to have some more fusion babies with Veggie, even if they're only a
figment of my imagination.
Chuquita: Actually I had 2 endings to that comic. The one I drew and the one that I didn't draw in which you DO end up having
the 5 fusion babies who were somehow contacting you in your dream ahead of time. But if I did it the second way it would (A)
jeapordize all my future comics with a big plothole (what happened to the fusion babies? how am I gonna make things be normal
with 5 new characters) and the fact that it would confirm that something yaoi-ish had happened between you and Veggie. And
since I didn't want that to happen I had to scrap that ending.
Goku: YOU MEAN I COULD'VE HAD ALL THE WONDERFUL SWEET LITTLE CHIBI FUSION BABIES IN MY DREAM REALLY COME TRUE AND YOU DIDN'T
LET ME!!!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Son-san, if you HAD them that would have meant that you had--(whispers into his ear)
Goku: (eyes widen to 10X their normal size) (squeaks out) ...oh. (glances over at Veggie) I, I'm not so sure I can see myself
doing that, even if I was completely drunk.
Vegeta: (embarassed) Was that an INSULT, Kakarrotto?
Goku: No I'm just saying *chuckle* I REALLY don't think I'd do that, to you--with you--umm, you know.
Vegeta: (flatly) Uh-uh, thanks for the input Kakarrot. Really enjoyed that little conversation.
Chuquita: (to Son) I rented the other gba dbz game yesterday.
Goku: Ooh, the card one?
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) More like the screenshot one. (sticks her tongue out in disgust) I'm glad I bought the one with you
on the cover instead of the one with Mirai. I can't even tell if I'm winning or not!!!
Vegeta: The story of my life...
Chuquita: I mean, all the little screenshots for the cards or nice; and I've never really BEEN a card-game player, and this
one didn't even have a cute little animated opening like the "Legend of Goku" did!
Goku: I still say they should make the "Veggie's Adveggieture" video game.
Chuquita: (grins) I'd like to play a side-scroller where you hope around and zap people without having to look down at the
top of their heads.
Goku: (james bond-ish) Your mission; do you accept it; is to get to the right side of the screen.
Chuquita: (chuckles) Heh-heh, yeah.
Goku: Say Veggie, I'm gonna go change into my third costume for part 3. Being you's kind of boring.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) BORING??
Goku: Well, yeah. Sure you're little and cute and freakishly persistent, but it's more fun to watch you be that way then to
act it out myself. Besides, I think you have some issues.
Vegeta: (explodes) ISSUES?! (gawks) I HAVE NO ISSUES!!
Goku: (to Chu) See? There little Veggie goes again. (impishly) Know what my NEXT costume is?
Chuquita: What?
Goku: (whispers it to her)
Chuquita: (snickers) Oh I'm sure he'll just LOVE that one.
Goku: Heeheehee, I've always wanted to dress up like that for Veggie. (waves excitedly to Veggie) Wave back little buddy.
Vegeta: (blushes with embarassment and waves back)
Goku: HEE, Veggie's so silly!
Vegeta: I AM _NOT_ "SILLY"!!
Goku: (impersonation) Lookit me! I'm little Veggie and I'm so small-n-cute-n-huggable but feel the need to pretend I'm
really grumpy when I'm so sweet on the inside and I'd do ANYTHING for my peasant cuz I love him so much but I don't want
him to know that because it'd damage my pride and Kakay'd probably never leave me alone if he knew so I've got to keep it
all bottled up and hidden instead and the only time I can act sweet is when I'm trying to get Onna mad at me for having a
place of such high esteem in Kakay's lil Kaka-heart which I want all to myself cuz I'm the prince and he's my peasant! And
that's why I'm so silly!
Vegeta: (glowing bright red; body twitching nervously) Kaka...rrotto....
Chuquita: WOW Son-kun? How'd you do that?
Goku: After you use the portara fusion with somebody you learn a WHOLE LOT about them. (grins) And all your little heart
strings get intertwined and twisted up and--
Vegeta: (scream) KAKARROTTO BE QUIET!!!!
Goku: Eep. (covers his mouth with his hands) [hops off stage; waves to Chu, Veggie, and the audiance then dashes off to
change into his 3rd costume]
Chuquita: Well, there he goes.
Vegeta: Thank goodness! (redness begins to fade from his face) SOMETIMES I think Kakarrotto phrases things in certain
ways on PURPOSE to make me feel uncomfortable.
Chuquita: Who knows. (to audiance) See you in Part 3 everybody!!!
Vegeta: You're getting sleepy, oh-so sleepy, so sleepy that you feel like just letting me have Kakarrotto and run over Onna
with a big monster truck. So sleepy...
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Will you cut that out? I'm not tired at all!!
Vegeta: Oh... (pouts) Hmmph. (smirks) I wonder what costume Kakarrotto will come back in??
Chuquita: Well, you'll find out.
Vegeta: Really? (smiles)
Chuquita: (cheerfully) But not now!
Vegeta: (glares) That was mean and uncalled for.
Chuquita: (grins) Heh-heh. Until part 3!
Vegeta: (smirks) See you soon readers. (glances off-stage) You too Kakarrotto!!!
