Quote of the Week: -from "Peanuts"
Lucy: Rerun, as your big sister I feel it is my duty to tell you that what you see is not the real Santa Claus.
Lucy: What you're looking at is a dog in a Santa Claus suit.
Lucy: Now that I've told you this, how does it make you feel?
Rerun: (hugs Snoopy) I like him!
Chuey's Corner:
[the Corner is decorated in Christmassy lights and tinsel and decorations]
Goku: (grinning at Veggie) And I like Veggie! [reaches out to hug him] Eh? Eh?
Vegeta: Uh--YIPE! [Son grabs and hugs Veggie tightly]
Goku: Mmmmmmmm.... [rubbing Veggie on the back while hugging him] ...Veggie so nice...
Chuquita: Well, we did it guys, we survived that super-sized ending chapter to "King Me!"
Goku: (sits glowing bright red Veggie on his lap and starts rubbing Veggie's shoulders) YAY!
Chuquita: (to Son) Remind me never to write anything bigger than 50KB ever again. (groans)
Goku: Chu-sama learned a lesson.
Chuquita: Yes, let's go back to the normal-sized chapters. That way I'll get parts done sooner and move along to the next
stories quicker. (to audiance) (perks up) Anyway, today's story is our Christmas special.
Goku: (grins) Heehee, Christmas FUSION special. [moves on to rubbing Veggie's tummy]
Vegeta: (glowing bright enough to engulf a good 3 feet of everything around him) (dreamily) Wah-yaya?....
Chuquita: ... (blinks) You know Son-kun, I really don't think you should be doing that to him this early in the Corner.
Goku: But this is part of the Christmas theme, see? [points to Veggie] (happily) Veggie's face glows bright red just like
rudolph the red-nosed reindeer's nose glows bright red.
Vegeta: (now drooling slightly) Kaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
Chuquita: Christmas-time Q.O.T.W, Christmas-time Corner, Christmas-time story, Christmas-time... [looks slightly conserned at
the brightness of Veggie's face] ...Veggie.
Goku: [rubbing Veggie's cheeks; moves his hand away before any Veggie-drool can dribble onto it] Silly Chu-sama! [pulls out a
little santa-hat and plops it on Veggie's head] THAT is a Christmas-time Veggie!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) ...oh.
Goku: (whispers eagerly) Hey little Veggie, I gotcha a present.
Vegeta: (snaps out of his glowing daze) What? Where? [looks around]
Goku: [grabs a wrapped package under the desk and plops it on Veggie's lap] Here it is! (squeals) OPEN IT!!
Vegeta: (smirks) Gladly. [takes the package and rips the wrapping off to pieces, then opens the top to reveal] A jacket??
[confusedly takes out a light orange sweatshirt] (cocks his head) What's this for?
Goku: For when Veggie gets cold from the outside and the snow. (chirps) It's Old Navy Polar Fleece!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Orange?
Goku: Yeah! That's so everybody'll know whose little buddy you are! [gives Veggie a quick hug] Veggie want me to help him get
his pretty Veggie-sweater on?
Vegeta: (mildly glowing) Umm, I'm fine, thanks--HEY! [Goku takes the sweatshirt and puts it over Veggie's head and arms]
Goku: (smiles) There! Look it's even got a little hoody! [flips a large hood over Veggie's head; the sleeves go just past
Veggie's hands] How ya feelin now, Veggie?
Vegeta: (blinks) (little smile) Surprisingly warm and comfortable.
Chuquita: Polyester'll (or whatever that's made of) do that to you everytime.
Goku: (sweetly) So little Veggie is feeling all warm-n-fuzzy inside now?
Vegeta: (nods)
Goku: (hugs Veggie) YAY!
Chuquita: Speaking of presents, the story just happens to be about them, or at least deal with 'um.
Goku: (happily) Yes, it is Vejitto-chan's time to return and see his Mommy and Daddy a-gain. IT'LL BE FUN!
Chuquita: And Gogeta's in this one too.
Goku: Both of me-n-Veggie's fusion babies! (to Chu) Veggie-n-me are still both in it though, right?
Chuquita: Of course. Vejitto and Gogeta are the only two special guests, you and Veggie and everyone else who's normally in
the storyline is still there.
Goku: YAY! (laughs nervously) I was a little scared for a minute that I wouldn't be able to re-meet my fusion babies again.
Chuquita: Don't worry, they're a main part of it; along with several other things. Veggie attempts an evil plot with the use
of mistletoe, you're off busy searching for the perfect gift to get your coniving little buddy here, Mirai becomes a shopping
mall Santa, and Chi-Chi gets a temporary job at a jewerly store.
Vegeta: (snickers) Temporary meaning Onna probably gets fired on the first day for being such a witch. [glances up at Son]
Goku: ...
Vegeta: ... (evil grin) I don't see you arguing.
Goku: ..huh? (confused)
Vegeta: (flatly) You didn't hear a word I just said, did you Kakarrotto?
Goku: (grins) NOooooOOOOOOoooOOOOOoo.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Here's the story, ladies and gentlemen, enjoy.
Summary: It's Christmas time and Vejitto's coming home for the holidays, but this time he's bringing
a friend with him. After a Gogeta from an alternate timeline somehow ends up in h.f.i.l, Vejitto instantly brands him his
little brother and decides to take him home to meet their parents. Meanwhile Veggie's experimenting with mistletoe, Goku's
looking for the perfect gift for his little buddy, and Mirai gets to play Santa Claus! All this and more!
Goku: Hohoho, Merry Christmas!
Vegeta: (warming up inside his new sweatshirt) Mmmm, makes me feel all soft and mushy inside.... (cocks an eyebrow at Son)
(suspiciously) You didn't put anything WEIRD in here, did you?
Goku: Me?! (innocently) NooooooOOOoooo.
Vegeta: Hmm....alright. (snaps at him) YOU SURE?
Goku: (chuckles) I dunno...
Vegeta: (pales) Oh...now I'm worried.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
In a slightly alternate timeline where Goku had convinced Vegeta to perform the fusion dance while inside of Buu's body...
" WHADDA YOU MEAN HE'S STUCK THIS WAY!!! " Chi-Chi roared in anger at a nervous Gogeta. The entire z gang was
gathered around him.
" Well its obvious your friend's stuck this way. I warned Son Goku about the effects of the portara fusion earrings.
" Old Dai Kaioshin explained to them. Gogeta had easily defeated Majin Buu on Kaioshin-Kai and the group assumed he would
defuse back into Goku and Vegeta within 30 minutes due to the fusion dance's time limit. It had been 2 days, " He is
obviously not the same fighter born from the portaras. My closest guess is that because the portara fusion isn't meant to
wear off that since Vejitto's body did seperate it left a strong type of bond between the two saiyajins. When they performed
this 'fusion dance', the molecules in their bodies were already attracted to each other due to their portara fusion and once
they fused this time the time limit was nulified. He is merely another fusion of Goku and Vegeta, and, as the first one was
supposed to be, is permanent. "
" You're...joking right? " Gohan turned a pale color, " You mean we're never gonna see Toussan AGAIN?! "
" That IS your Toussan as far as you're concerned. " Dai Kaioshin nodded to Gogeta. Gohan looked over at the fused
saiyajin. Sure he looked like his father, in fact the facial features were so similar to Goku's it was uncanny; however
something just felt wrong about him.
" Vegeta-kun! " Bulma cried. Trunks patted her on the arm.
" Don't worry Kaasan. Toussan's probably oh-kay. When Goten and I were fused we still had our own brains, only the
same body. So Toussan's still in there. "
" We didn't have a third person though. " Goten said, confused, " ...or did we? "
" Not unless you have a split personality or somethin. " Trunks put his hands behind his head.
Gohan studied the fused saiyajin's features for whatever had slightly disturbed him just now. Gogeta was slightly
shorter than Goku by about 2 inches and was built more like the ouji. He's haircut was even more Vegeta-like, with only a
sole Goku-ish bang hanging over his face. However, none of that really bothered him that much. He watched as Bulma walked up
to the fusion.
" Vegeta? " she said hopefully.
" Bulma. " Gogeta replied, only in a single voice instead of the two merged ones. Gohan's eyes nearly shot out of his
head. The fusion's eyes even narrowed more.
" Yup! Toldja so! " Trunks said proudly.
" Vegeta!! " Bulma hugged him, " You idiot, I'm so glad you're still here. " she laughed while sniffling.
The two paused all of a sudden when the sound of a bazooka being loaded were heard loudly in the backround.
" You better move. " both voices came from Gogeta this time. The fusion looked up innocently. Bulma noticed Chi-Chi
sending death glares their way along with the bazooka she was now holding over her shoulder.
" Oh boy... " Bulma sweatdropped, backing away from Gogeta as Chi-Chi angrily stomped towards him.
" OUJIIIII!!! " she snarled in rage.
" Onna. " Gogeta smirked as Chi-Chi held the bazooka infront of his face, " You better put that thing away before you
hurt yourself. " the mixture of the voices said, nodding, " Yeah Chi-chan, it isn't very smart. " another sole voice said.
Chi-Chi froze at the last one, " Go-chan? "
" Heeeee!! " Gogeta grinned, " He is in here. " both voices said.
" Well then, " Chi-Chi said calmly, placing the bazooka on the ground and then pulling out a HUGE mallet, " LET ME
GET HIM OUT FOR YOU!! " she screamed, hurtling the mallet down and missing Gogeta by mere inches.
" AHHH!! " Gogeta yelped as he ran through the yard avoiding every hit. Chi-Chi nearly on his heals as she swung the
gigantic mallet around. The fusion baby blasted a hole through the Capsule Corp wall and through the floor. He jumped down
the hole in an attempt to lose her only to have Chi-Chi jump downward as well.
" HERE I COME YOU DISCOMBOBLED HALF-OUJI MONSTER!!! " she shouted as she lurked through Dr. Brief's lab. Gogeta was
hiding behind a large container.
" What is she, NUTS? I have her own husband in here! I'm her fusion-baby-in-law! " Gogeta whipered to himself in
disbelief, " Or would it be step-fusion-baby? "
" IT'LL BE ROASTED "FUSION BABY" WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH YOU!! " Chi-Chi exclaimed from behind him. She lept off one of
the containers and pounded her mallet against the floor, nearly missing Gogeta by inches, " HOW DARE YOU EXIST! " she hissed
at him.
" Hmmph, that's no way to be talking to the savior of the UNIVERSE, is it? " Gogeta smirked wryly.
" AAARRRRR!!! " Chi-Chi came running at him. Gogeta yelped and tripped backward only to catch himself with his hands
falling flat on the floor. Gogeta's right foot catapulted forward and accidentally smacked Chi-Chi in the face.
He sweatdropped and laughed in a nervous, Goku-like way, " Uh, heh-heh-heh, oops? "
Chi-Chi twitched and batted his foot away, then suddenly grabbed it with her free hand and tried to chuck him upward.
Gogeta sweatdropped at her ki power compaired to his, then shrugged, slightly annoyed, and flung Chi-Chi upward instead. He
lept to his feet and ran off. Chi-Chi slowed herself down with the use of the large mallet and ran after him.
Gogeta gulped, " And they let this person run free in the streets? "
" I'LL CHOP OFF THAT OUJI-ISH LOOKING HEAD OF YOURS FIRST! THEN I'LL POUND YOUR BODY INTO MINCEMEAT!!! "
" Ehhh.. " Gogeta paled. The two other voices in his head arguing with each other on weither to try and reason with
the enraged Chi-Chi or to quickly blow her up instead. Gogeta stopped suddenly when he saw Mirai's time machine sitting in
the middle of the lab and hopped inside. He ducked below the seat, " I don't want to kill her, Mommy would never forgive me."
he said to himself, folding his arms and trying to plot out what to do next. He smiled, " Maybe if I just stay hidden under
here long enough she'll give up and go away. "
" That's highly unlikely, you little demi-Ouji. " a low, dangerous sounding voice came from outside the time machine.
Gogeta bit his tongue at developing Vegeta's habit of talking his plots outloud to himself, " Why don't you come out of there
and I'll give you something good to eat. " Chi-Chi's voice changed to a kinder tone.
Gogeta paused, uncertain, " Umm, what kind of food? "
" Fish. " she smirked.
" FISH? " Gogeta's eyes widened, " I like fiiiiiiiiiish. " he grinned excitedly.
" Yes, I thought you would. " she snickered and tightened her grip on the mallet, " I have some Pepsi here for you
too. How about climbing out and coming down here so you can enjoy it. "
" OH-KAY! " the fusion chirped, hopping out of the cockpit and sliding down the side of the machine.
" YAHHH!! " Chi-Chi swung at him.
" WAH! " Gogeta froze, " YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL ME!! " he snapped.
" That's the idea. "
" ...huh? " he blinked.
" If I destory you; while I will be killing you, Goku, and the Ouji, I can still gather the Dragonballs and then
wish my Go-chan back while you and the Ouji spend the rest of your lives in other world. " Chi-Chi snickered.
" How do you know that you can just bring back my Mommy? " Gogeta said, " I'm like a kind of double-fusion. What if
their souls are connected and you can't wish him back. "
" ... " Chi-Chi shuddered at the thought, " Well we'll just have to find out, WON'T WE! " she landed a heavy swing
at Gogeta, who quickly moved his legs upward causing Chi-Chi to hit the machine instead. The time machine began to shake
wildly and several lights on the control panel lit up.
Gogeta stared at it, surprised, " What the---*FWOOSH*! " Mirai's time machine vanished into thin air, leaving behind
several burnt marks in the floor from where it stood. Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" KAASAN! " Gohan shouted as he and the others ran down the stairs, " What happened? And--where's Gogeta? " he looked
around.
" I don't sense him anywhere. " Goten said, worried.
" Me neither. " Trunks added.
" Umm, I kind of went to hit him, with the mallet, and I accidentally clobbered a side of the time machine and all of
a sudden, *poof*! It, disa...peared. " she trailed off, " We-can-get-him-back, right? "
" I'm afraid it's not that simple. " Piccolo said, walking up to her, " Gogeta could be anywhere by now. There's no
real way to track him. "
" Now he's REALLY gone forever. " Gohan groaned.
" It's not my fault! It's not my fault!! " Chi-Chi began to panic, " OHHHH! My poor little Go-chan all alone in some
scary time and trapped in that "fusion baby"'s body with that evil Ouji!!! "
" AND Gogeta. " Trunks interupted, only to recieve a death-glare from Chi-Chi. He sweatdropped.
" What's going on down here? " Bulma asked as she walked down the stairs. Everyone with the exception of Chi-Chi;
who was still worrying about Goku's safety; froze. Bulma gasped, " Where's my time machine? And where's Gogeta? "
" Well, you see-- " Gohan started, only to have Chi-Chi burst into tears and hug him tightly.
" OH MY POOR SWEET GOKU-CHAN! I'M SO SORRY!!! " she wailed. Bulma instantly turned a pale color.
" What happened? " Bulma asked.
Piccolo grabbed two very large ear-plugs and stuck them in his ears.
" Bulma, this is kind of hard to explain, " Gohan bit his lip, " But, uh-- "
" Aunt-Chi-Chi-chased-Gogeta-around-the-lab-and-he-jumped-in-your-time-machine-and-she-hit-it-with-her-mallet-and-it
disappeared!!! " Trunks exclaimed.
Bulma's eyes widened in shock, " Where, where did he get sent to? "
" We don't know. " he replied. Bulma looked upward and cried at the top of her lungs in sorrow.
" VEGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
In the regular timeline where Goku was unable to convince Vegeta to perform the fusion dance while inside Buu... 7 months
into the future of the alternate timeline. In short, 2 weeks before Christmas...
" Say CHEESE! " Vejitto grinned. One foot on the ground and another on the back of his recently defeated opponent.
" Ohhh... " a brutally beaten Freeza groaned in pain. His pupils shrunk as the camera flash went off, " I hate you. "
" Hey, you think you take one more? I wanna make a special holidy picture this time. " Vejitto asked the person he
had given his camera to; Cell, who was also battered after a failed attempt to escape h.f.i.l, only to have the fused
saiyajin security guard beat him to a pulp.
" I can't see out of my right eye, it's swollen and starting to pustule. " Cell complained.
" Aww.. " Vejitto said sadly, then perked up, " TOO BAD!! " he squealed. Vejitto looked down at Freeza, " So! You
wanna be an elf or a reindeer? " he held up a little elf hat in one hand and a red reindeer nose and antlers in the other.
" I WILL BE NEITHER! YOU MONKEY! I AM FREEZA! RULER OF THE UNIVERSE!! "
Vejitto plunked an elf hat and beard on him, " Not, anymore. " he smirked, then grinned, " Now you're Toot-Toot the
toy train-building elf! " Vejitto turned back to the camera and made a victory sign with his fingers just as Cell snapped
another picture. Vejitto ran over and took his camera, " Heh-heh, this is great! Mommy will LOVE this! "
" What are you doing anyway? " Freeza grumbled, sitting up.
" OH! I'm making a photo album for my Mommy and Daddy to give them for Christmas. Heh-heh, they're gonna LAUGH at you
guys! " Vejitto said, putting the camera away.
" Who ARE your "parents" anyway! " Cell demanded.
Vejitto froze, " Uhhh--gotta go! Bye! " he dashed off.
" STUPID SAIYAJIN! " Freeza threw the elf hat to the ground and stomped on it.
" Hmm... " Cell narrowed his eyes, " If I didn't know any better, I'd say he was the child of Goku and Vegeta. "
" You don't know any better. " Freeza rolled his eyes, " He must have hit you too hard and knocked the brain clear
out of your head before I could believe THAT nonsense. "
" After what happened back on Earth I'm NEVER telling ANYBODY who my Mommy and Daddy are EVER AGAIN! " Vejitto
groaned, then pulled out his already half-way done photo album and looked through it. He had pictures of him beating up
Freeza, Cell, the Ginyu, Babadi, and various other villains he remembered had caused harm to his 'parents'. He also had
pictures of him recieving medals of honor and such. And some of the food they sold there, " It's gonna be so great to see
them again! Daddy'll probably give me a big 'ol hug and Mommy'll even give me one too once she's seen all these pictures of
me humiliating Freeza! " he laughed, " It'll be FUN! "
" *RING*RING*RING*! "
Vejitto paused and pulled out his cell phone, " Hel-looo? " he said cheerfully, holding back giggles.
" Officer Vejitto? " one of Enma's Oni workers trembled on the line, " There's a saiyajin out here in sector 243
blowing up random stuff. We need you over here to teach him a lesson. " he said nervously.
" Oh-kay! " Vejitto hung up, then smirked determindly, " Another saiyajin, huh? " he paused, searching out a ki
reading similar to his own. Vejitto's eyes widened, " WOW! He's strong! I can't wait! Maybe I'll actually get a challenge
this time! " the fusion giggled, then put his fingers on his forehead and teleported to the other side of the grounds to see
a super saiyajin wearing a uniform similar to Gotenks blasting the area around him.
" Hmm. " Vejitto narrowed his eyes at him, then burst into ssj2 himself and flew down at the other saiyajin. He flung
his fist forward only to have the other one mirror his attack. Vejitto attempted to knee him in the gut but found him to copy
Vejitto's exact moves down to a second. This continued for several minutes until both were beginning to wary of the other's
keen insight and the fact that they were near-equal in strength.
" Did you notice we aren't really getting anywhere. " they both said at once, then froze.
" You know, " Gogeta said, " You look very familiar. "
" You do too! " Vejitto chirped, then yelped as Gogeta's foot made contact with his head.
" BIIIIIG BANG KAMEHAMEHA ATTACK!!! " Gogeta shouted, letting loose a huge blast of ki.
Vejitto cocked an eyebrow, " "Big Bang Kamehameha?" Waitaminute, that sounds just like Mommy and Daddy's attacks... "
he trailed off, then looked up to get a glimpse of the other saiyajin only to see the giant ki blast. Vejitto stopped it and
easily flung it into the air, but now without tiring himself out. It was like stopping one of his own attacks, " *Whew*. "
" Heh-heh-heh! " Gogeta teleported infront of the other fusion. Vejitto backed up only to find a wall behind him,
" HI! " he said cheerfully.
Vejitto mirrored his grin, " HI! "
An evil grin appeared on Gogeta's face and he split 4 other Gogetas off of him. Vejitto's eyes widened.
" I haven't seen THIS attack before. " he stated curiously.
" Well then you should enjoy it, since it's the last thing you will see. " the Gogetas all said at once.
" Ooh, snappy comeback. " Vejitto commented.
" Thanks! " the Gogetas grinned Son-style, then instantly snapped back into serious fighing mode. Vejitto
sweatdropped. He made a defensive position, ready to bounce back whatever attack Gogeta was about to use.
" CONFETTI KAMEHAMEHA! " the Gogetas shouted at once. Vejitto braced himself for a ki blast only to have dozens of
multi-colored streamers and sprinkles fly in his face. Vejitto opened his eyes only to see himself covered in party favors
and instantly fell over sideways.
" GAH!! " the fusion's arm twitched. He sat up to see Gogeta grinning at him, " That, " Vejitto glared dangerously,
" WAS THE COOLEST MOST FUN ATTACK I'VE EVER SEEN!!! " he squealed excitedly, " What's-your-name!! " Vejitto said eagerly.
" I'm Gogeta. I was chased by a horrible mean lady and I ended up in Mirai Trunks's time machine and she smacked
the machine with her mallet and it malfunctioned and I ended up here! " he said happily.
" ...they why were you attacking everybody? " Vejitto blinked, confused.
" I was bored. " Gogeta shrugged. Vejitto sweatdropped, " Besides, everyone around here is so weak. It's so amusing
to see how they run. " he snickered evilly.
" --see how they run. The clock rang one and down they run, three blind mice. " Vejitto sang to himself.
" Hey! I know that song! " Gogeta said, " I learned it from my Mommy's memory. " he pointed to his head.
" I learned mine from my Daddy's memory! " Vejitto replied. The two paused and instantly powered down. Their eyes
widened when they saw each other, " YOU LOOK JUST LIKE ME!! " Vejitto exclaimed, standing up, " Only, a little shorter. " he
scratched his head, " And your eyes look more like Daddy's than mine do. " he rambled on, " OH! I forgot to introduce myself!
My name is Son Vejitto Oujisama! " he said, shaking Gogeta's hand.
" And I am the great Son Gogeta Oujisama! " the other fusion said happily.
" Mmm. " they both nodded.
" ... "
" ... "
Both saiyajins froze, their eyes bulging out of their heads.
" Waitaminute. If you have he same last names I do, than that makes you my BROTHER! " Vejitto grinned, " THIS IS SO
AMAZING! How-old-are-you! " he asked quickly.
" Hm, about 2 days. " Gogeta thought outloud.
" My LITTLE brother! " Vejitto hugged his fused coutnerpart, then frowned, " I wonder why Mommy and Daddy didn't tell
me about this sooner. "
" I'm from another timeline remember. " Gogeta pointed out.
" You are? " Vejitto blinked, confused.
" Yeah, in my timeline Mommy convinced Daddy to do the fusion dance after they spilt up from being you, and after
they fused since they already had a portara fusion bond that when they made me I became permanent! " Gogeta explained.
" Wow, it's a good thing they didn't screw up the fusion dance then, isn't it? " Vejitto grinned, laughing, " I mean,
you could've ended up all fat or skinny like Gotenks did. HAHAHAHA--ipe! "
" --it's not...funny... " Gogeta growled angrily, " DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN THEY FUSE WRONG AND YOU HAVE TO
RUN AROUND ALL FAT FOR A WHOLE HALF-HOUR!! " he exclaimed.
" I can't imagine. " Vejitto replied. Gogeta let go, " You said Mommy convinced Daddy...you mean Daddy convinced
Mommy, right? "
" No. " Gogeta looked confused.
" ...hmm. " Vejitto folded his arms, " Daddy? "
" Vegeta. "
" Mommy? "
" Goku. "
" Ah, you have 'um mixed up. " Vejitto smiled.
" Nuh-uh, yours are mixed up. " Gogeta narrowed his eyes in a stubborn pout.
" You don't even call Toussan "Kakarrotto" do you? But I gues Kageta would sound a little weird. Maybe Kakata. Nah,
too many "a"s. How about Getatto! "
" That sounds like a foreign dessert. " Gogeta sweatdropped.
" Maybe Veku. "
" Umm, Gogeta's fine with me. " the younger fusion laughed nervously, then perked up, " So? What are you doing here?
I mean, " he looked around to see everyone else with a ring over their heads, " You're still alive. "
" I'm a security guard around here, but I'm going home to my Kaasan's for Christmas! " Vejitto said happily, " I
can't wait to see him again and thank him for bringing my tail back! " he poined to the fuzzy thing around his waist.
" How'd you get that back? " Gogeta's eyes widened.
" Well, it's a long story but an easy way to do it is to poke the spot where your tail should be really hard really
fast with your finger. "
" Oh-kay. " Gogeta did so. His tail shot out and he screamed in pain, " YEEEEEEEEOWWWWWWWWWW!!!! "
" Oh! By the way it'll hurt a lot so you should take some pain medicine before you do it. " Vejitto added.
" WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT BEFORE I DID IT!!! " Gogeta snapped, then sniffled as he rubbed his newly spouted tail.
Vejitto prepared to teleport, " Hey! Where are you going?! "
" I told you already, to Mommy's. " Vejitto said, " But, maybe we should get see if we can find you a gift to give
them first. It'd be kind of embarassing for you to show up without a present. " he laughed nervously.
" I AM a present! " Gogeta grinned proudly. Vejitto sweatdropped and grabbed his younger brother's wrist, " Come on,
let's go to West City first and pick something up. "
" What kind of thing? " Gogeta cocked his head.
" I guess it takes a little while before your personality's completely fused. " Vejitto made a larger sweatdrop.
" After we get a present, you think there's any place that sells REALLY BIG MALLETS. I'd like to teach that mean lady
a lesson for trying to KILL ME and CHASING ME here! " Gogeta smirked evilly.
Vejitto gasped, " Chi-Chi was trying to KILL you!!! "
Gogeta nodded sadly.
Vejitto grinned widely, " Well maybe I'll buy a mallet myself too. " he said as the duo teleported out of sight.
" Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, " Vegeta (thought I forgot about him, didn't ya?) sang to himself
as he fixed an odd-looking green wreath around his head which held dozens of little red berries, " I am gonna win this time
and Onna's gonna pay. " he sang, then snickered, " Heh-heh, improvising. "
" Vegeta-kun! Help me with these ornaments! " Bulma shouted at the top of the stairs. Her voice muffled by the tall
group of boxes in her arms labeled "X-mas tree decorations".
" Hm? Sure. " the ouji smirked, teleporting infront of her and grabbing the decorations, then teleporting them down
to the living room, " That has got to be the most useful technique I've ever learned from Kakarrotto. "
" Well, that was unusually nice of you. " Bulma smiled, slightly suspicous, " What do you want this time? "
" Nothing. " Vegeta responded, " Say, Bul-chan you think you can bend down here for a moment. " he signaled to his
height.
" Umm, oh-kay. " Bulma walked down the stairs and over to him. She bent down so she was eye-to-eye with the little
ouji, " Say Vegeta what are you wearing on your head anywa--mmmph! " Bulma was cut off when the ouji dipped over and kissed
her. Bulma's cheeks flushed red, " ...impressive..... " she smiled, then narrowed her eyes, " There's an alterior motive,
isn't there. " Bulma said flatly.
Vegeta grinned and pointed to the wreath around his head, " Mistletoe. "
Bulma's eyes widened as she stood up, " Oh God..please don't. " she groaned.
" What! It's all part of a grand Christmas scheme. " Vegeta protested.
" That's just a fancy holiday pseudonym for "evil plot". " Bulma retorted.
" ... " Vegeta avoided eye-contact, then glanced up at her, " ...maybe it is. "
" You mean you're going to try to "inservant-maid-tize" Goku by using that mistletoe on your head to ki-- "
" --NO! " Vegeta slapped his hands over her mouth, his face bright red with embarassment, " I mean, yes, but not to
all of your accusation. Only some of it is true. You see Bulma, " he took his hands off her mouth, " In this "joyous" time
of year it is customary to be as nice and cheerful to one's peasants as possible. " he began.
" You didn't think so last year when you told him Santa Claus wasn't real. " Bulma folded her arms.
Vegeta cringed, " Yes, I remember that. " he coughed slightly, " But you see, if you ALSO remember, last year I was
introduced *twitch* personally, to the uses of "mistletoe" by Kakarrotto himself. However, this year will be different.
Bulma, do you know how much kaka-slobber can enter ones mouth when accidentally caught by Kakarrotto under the mistletoe. "
" Not really. " Bulma sweatdropped.
" WELL IT'S NOT PLEASANT! " Vegeta snapped, then stuck his tongue out, " Not to mention severely DISGUSTING. However,
I plan to make a small sacrifice in returning that embarassing moment and drive Onna INSANE WITH RAGE at the same time. In
short, " he smirked, " I'm going to catch Kakay under this little bush on my head everytime I spot Onna walk by. By the
evening she'll be so enraged she'll either have a heart attack or go MAD! I shall escort her to the asylum with Kakay in tow
and we will all share the evening together. "
" So, this is still a "servant-maid" plot, only since it's Christmas you want to be a little meaner to Chi-Chi than
"servant-maid-wooing" to Goku. " Bulma said.
" Mmm, yeah pretty much. " Vegeta grinned, " SO! Whadda you think? "
" Vegeta, you can mentally drive Chi-Chi to the breaking point as much as you like, but if you go through with this
one you're probably going to drive yourself there too. " Bulma sighed.
" What do you mean? " he blinked.
" Ugh, how easily we forget. " Bulma shook her head, " Don't you remember what happened last year! "
" Um, no? "
:::" Hey Veggie? " Goku said, peering over Vegeta's shoulder.
Vegeta closed the box, still smiling, " Yes Kakarrot? "
Goku giggled, pointing to a small bundle of green leaves tacked to the overhang above
them, " Mistletoe. "
Vegeta looked up, then paled, " Mistleto--Kakarrot no, no no no n--MMPH! "
The entire gang burst into hysterical laughter as Goku layed a big wet sloppy kiss on
the smaller saiyajin.
Goku grinned, " I love you little buddy! "
Vegeta growled at him while he disqustedly rubbed the Kako-germs off his face, " ERRR...
KAKARROTTO! " he screamed angrily. Goku backed up as Vegeta chased him around the room in anger,
" I OUTTA KILL YOU FOR THAT YOU BIG DUM BAKAYARO! NOW I HAVE KAKO-GERMS IN MY MOUTH!!! ":::
" Oh yeah... " Vegeta trailed off, " You know the collective flashback really helped. "
" You're welcome. " Bulma smiled, " But that's not the point! Vegeta, for the remaining 11 days of Christmas the only
thing your true love gave to thee was 15 TONS of mouthwash and toothpaste! I spent THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS helping you treat
your imaginary "Kaka-germ-disease"!! " she shouted, " AND DO YOU KNOW WHY!!!! "
" Because you love me enough TO spend thousands of dollars making sure I'm healthy and kaka-germ free. " Vegeta
grinned.
" ...ohhh. " Bulma groaned in defeat, " I'm just saying there's less-painful-to-yourself ways to, you know, "annoy"
Chi-Chi. "
" You're going to help me mentally destory Onna, aren't you Bul-chan? " Vegeta said in awe and shock; big sparkily
eyes on his face.
" What? NO! " Bulma exclaimed.
" Aw. " Vegeta pouted.
" It's just that I think you would be better off, you know, stuffing her stocking with eggnog or baking a mousetrap
into her slice of chicken pot pie. That sort of annoying. " she said.
" A mousetrap inside a baked good...I like that. " Vegeta smiled.
" Uh, heh-heh-heh. " Bulma laughed nervously.
" Maybe I'll do that too. "
" WAHH!! " Bulma fell over, twitching, " VEGETA!! I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT!!! " she yelled, " AND BESIDES, you're
never going to get through the day "smooching" your "peasant" without going crazy yourself! "
" What if I fake it. They'll all be just "pretend" mistletoe smooches infront of Onna. " Vegeta thought outloud.
" Either way you'll be making me play psychiatrist to you before Christmas is over if you go through with THIS evil
little plot. " Bulma sighed, memories of playing head-doctor to the ouji after last Christmas still swirling about in her
head, " AND you'll re-inforce that whole "I'm Veggie's princess" kick Son-kun's been on lately. "
" Kakarrotto isn't my "princess". You are! " Vegeta snapped.
" Then why don't you tell him that. "
" Because you're not LEGALLY my princess. " the ouji looked upward, " You, have to be a saiyajin AND complete the
ritual. I, sort of left the end of it out because if I were to perform it it would require me to be at full power and I
would have unintentionally killed you along with the entire purpose of the ceremony to begin with. " he said innocently.
" Left out?! WHAT DID YOU LEAVE OUT!? "
" *DING*DING*DONG! " the doorbell rang cheerfully.
" Kakay! " Vegeta grinned, running over to the door. Bulma sweatdropped. The ouji proudly flung open the door and
froze.
" HI LITTLE VEGGIE! " Goku said happily, grabbing Vegeta and hugging him tightly, " And how are you on this
WONDERFUL winter wonderland day? " he pointed to the couple inches of snow outside. The larger saiyajin had on a santa
hat, thick red sweater, a pair of green mittens, and pants that matched his sweater. Goku still had on the boots from his
regular gi uniform.
" So soft... " the glowing bright red ouji squeaked out, being hugged closer.
" OH! Veggie means my pretty new Christmas clothes? Chi-chan bought them for me. They're made of one of the softest
warmest materials in the world. "
" What's it called? " Bulma asked curiously.
" I have no idea! " Goku chirped. Bulma sweatdropped, " There's also a special insulator under my sweater and in my
pants pockets to keep me from freezing outside! "
" uoh... " Vegeta let out another small squeak, feeling his entire body along with his brain start to go numb.
" What is little Veggie wearing in his hair Bulma? " Goku asked.
" Wayahh.. " Vegeta daze-edly babbled out in his native tongue, " Yo gazoomeh, Kakay-chaaan... " he slurred out.
" It's nothing Goku, just a "completely-doomed-from-the-start" evil plan. " Bulma dismissed it.
" Huh. " Goku held Vegeta up eye-to-eye. The ouji's face was still glowing bright red and he now had a small trail
of drool dribbling out the side of his mouth. He grinned when he noticed the red berries, " Mistletoe!! " Goku said
excitedly, " Aww, hey little Veggie come here. " the larger saiyajin leaned towards Vegeta only to have the ouji melt
into a gooey red puddle before Goku reached him.
" Eew. " Bulma cringed at the puddle on the floor, " I still can't stand it when he does that. " she shivered,
creeped out, " Goku, I'll be right back I'm going to get some paper towels and wipe him up. " she said, then left.
Goku sat down on the floor next to the puddle, watching it as it quickly reformed back into a dazed and confused
Vegeta.
" Wha happened? " Vegeta rubbed his head.
" Oh, Veggie couldn't handle the warmth of my sweater AND hugs-n-smooches all at the same time, so he had a
meltdown. " Goku said cheerfully.
" Kakarrotto, what is that sweater and pants made of? " Vegeta asked, still glowing mildly.
" Wellll, there's love in every stitch. " the larger saiyajin grinned widely, staring at Vegeta w/big sparkily eyes.
" ...oh. " the ouji was now glowing bright red at full blast again, " I, kind of meant, generally. "
Goku shrugged, at a loss for an answer. He instantly brightened up, " So! Does my little Veggie wanna know what I
came here to see him for? " he asked eagerly.
" Umm, to find out what I'm getting you for Christmas ahead of time? " Vegeta scratched his head.
" My little Veggie got me my very own present just from him just for me? " Goku gasped in awe, " Oh little Veggie
that is so sweet of you!! "
" ...heh-heh-heh-heh-heh. " Vegeta laughed nervously, slapping the glow out of his his face, " Hai, a present from
me, to you. "
" Aww, VEGGIE IS THE BEST!! " Goku cheered, " I bet it's the best present EVER! "
" Of course, you, know me. " Vegeta chuckled, still slightly in panic.
" Veggie? "
" Yes? "
" What to YOU want for Christmas? " Goku asked, staring up wide-eyed at him.
" ME?! " Vegeta gawked, " Me. What do I want, from you, as a present. " he said.
" Uh-huh. " Goku nodded.
" Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh, " Vegeta snickered evilly, " I can think of several *smirk* possibilities... "
" Anything in particular? Be--because that's why I came to Veggie's house. To find out what Veggie wanted for
Christmas so I could go out and buy it for him. " Goku said.
" "Buy"? " Vegeta blinked, then frowned, disappointed, " Oh...."buy". " he bit his lip, trying to come up with
something, " I, I really can't think of anything for you to "buy" for me. " Vegeta said uneasily, then pulled something
out of his pocket, " But I DO have a little "list". " he pulled off the rubber band causing a roll of paper 4 miles long
to fly outward. Goku's eyes widened.
" Wow, I don't think I have enough money for a list that big. "
" Oh, you don't need "money" for the things on MY list, Kakay. " Vegeta smirked, holding it up infront of Goku.
Goku's face turned to a bewildered expression as he started to read the list, " Veh-gee, none of this is in english."
he said, confused.
" Hm? " Vegeta glanced over at it, " Oh, wrong side. " he flipped it over, " That side was in saiyago. THIS side is
english. " the ouji looked up only to find Goku now nowhere in sight, " Kakarrotto? "
" VeggieVeggie come play! "
The smaller saiyajin turned around to see the larger one sitting on the arm-chair with a sticker nametag on his
sweater that read "Santa" and had a fake white beard around his chin. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Little Veggie come sit on Santa's lap and tell him what you want Santa and his magical flying reindeer to get you
for Christmas! " Goku grinned.
" I'm NOT a child, we're NOT in a shopping mall and you're NOT SANTA CLAUS!! " Vegeta stomped his foot, embarassed.
" But little Veggie... " Goku sniffled, trailing off.
" Oh play along with him Vegeta. " Bulma chuckled, re-entering the room, " Where's your Christmas spirit? "
" Out in the farthest depths of space. " Vegeta said bluntly.
" Want me to get 'um back for you? " Goku asked, taking him seriously.
Vegeta sweatdropped, " I WAS JOKING!!! " he snapped.
" Just humor Santa-Son-kun for a little while, Vegeta. " Bulma sat down on the sofa, trying her best not to laugh,
" And I'll even take your picture. "
" JUST LIKE AT THE MALL! " Goku grinned, then turned to Vegeta, " I had my picture taken with Santa once... " he
pulled out a picture taken last year with an agitated Santa sitting on his throne missing his hat. He had his hand resting on
his cheek while Goku rode one of the mechanical life-like reindeer next to Santa's chair wearing his missing hat ontop of his
head, " BOY that was fun. "
" That poor old man. " Vegeta wryly commented, shaking his head at the picture.
" Veggie ready to read his list to me now? " Goku asked eagerly, " I'll never know what present to buy Veggie if
Veggie doesn't tell me first. "
" Err... " Vegeta grumbled, then glanced over at Bulma, who was chuckling lightly at him, " I'm letting you know
ahead of time I'm not doing this for your own personal amusement. " he turned back to Goku, " I'm doing this so Kakarrotto
can know my demands and meet them with the best of his ability. "
" How must "ability" does it take to buy a present? " Bulma asked, then paused, " OHhhhhhhh... "
" Kakarrotto, I am ready. " Vegeta marched over to him. Goku giggled at the little ouji as he tried to hop on the
armchair. After several different-angled tries by the ouji to get on, Goku grabbed Vegeta from under the arms and plopped
the smaller saiyajin on his lap.
" Now, has my little Veggie been a good boy this year? " Goku asked, grinning at him.
" Hn....you mean this year alone or this year as compared to previous ones? " Vegeta said, deep in thought.
" This year. "
" ...umm.....yes, yes I have been a good ouji this year, " Vegeta lied, " And for that I deserve a present, like gift
number 8, for example. "
Goku looked at Vegeta's poor handwritting. The ouji's english letters were a pale comparison to the beautifully drawn
insignias he had written in saiyago on the back of the paper, " Umm, Veggie, I don't know how to make a souffle. " Goku said
sadly, " Whatever that is. "
" ...oh. " Vegeta frowned, " Nevermind that one then. " he put a line through it with a pencil, then grinned and
pointed to the one at the top of his list, " How about this one, "Santa". "
Goku giggled at the little ouji who was seemingly playing along now, " Oh-kay, let me see that. " Goku took the list.
His eyeballs nearly shot out of his head, " A WHOLE YEAR!? I CAN'T BE VEGGIE'S "SERVANT-MAID" FOR A WHOLE YEAR!!! " Goku
yelped.
" I wasn't talking about YOU, "Santa". I'm talkin about Kakay. " Vegeta smirked.
" Hn. " Goku sweatdropped, " Little Veggie I don't think Santa can make that wish come tr-- " he looked down and
froze to see a devastated look on the ouji's face, " I mean, umm, " Goku said nervously, then yelped as Vegeta grabbed the
bigger saiyajin and hugged him, " I'll think about it. " he said in shock.
" It'll be just a test run of course, you know, see how you like it. " Vegeta snickered, letting go of him.
" You mean how "Kakay" likes it. " Goku smirked.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, " Don't get smart with me Kaka--err, Santa. " he said hopping off Goku's lap. He smiled,
" I want you to tell Kakarrotto that if he could bring his "little buddy" this one special gift that I would be the happiest
little Veggie in the whole wide world because my ONE PEASANT cared enough for his prince to give him the special gift of his
personal servitude to me for one short year. " Vegeta exclaimed over-dramatically.
" Aww... " Goku said, touched, then suddenly remembered about his "servant-maid" uniform and cringed, " Ehh... "
" And, you know, "Santa". If Kakay is unable to care and spoil me rotten over the next year as stated in my list, the
second list item would be workable as well. " Vegeta added.
" "Giant monster truck to run over Onna with". " Goku read outloud, " VEH-GEE! I'M NOT BUYING YOU A MONSTER TRUCK;
whatever that is; AND I'M CERTAINLY NOT LETTING YOU RUN OVER CHI-CHAN WITH IT!! "
" Try number 3. "
Goku sighed, then looked back at the list and sweatdropped, " "Egg Nog"?? " he looked down at Vegeta, " Egg nog. "
" So? "
" Little Veggie wants EGG NOG for Christmas? Can't you just, you know, buy that stuff at the store for 2 dollars? "
Goku cocked an eyebrow.
" Not THAT "egg nog". The kind they make with rum mixed in it. " Vegeta grinned evilly, " It's so VERY sweet. "
" My little Veggie drinks?! " Goku sweatdropped.
" So? "
" Veggie I dunno if you should be drinking egg nog with RUM inside it. I heard it can stunt your growth. "
" NOW he tells me. " Vegeta rolled his eyes, " Well Kakarrotto I'm not getting any taller as it is. "
" But you might get even SHORTER! " Goku gasped, then smiled, " Hey, that might not be so bad... " he trailed off as
the image of a little 3ft tall Vegeta trying to reach the egg nog on the kitchen counter appeared in his mind, " Awwwwwwww,
Veggie so cute! "
Vegeta grimaced, " 3 feet tall....on second thought, forget the egg nog. Go to number 4. "
" Electric fence w/dog collar. " Goku read outloud, " I didn't know little Veggie had a dog. "
" I don't. The collar's for Onna. You see this time whenever she tries to get near you or me the collar will relay
a strong and PAINFUL electric shock to her body. AND I can set it to play a festive song while doing so. Such as "Feliz
Navidad" or "The 12 Days of Christmas". "
" Feliz navidad, yo quiero ano y felicidad! I WANNA WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS! I WANNA WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS! I
WANNA WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE BOTTOM, OF MY HEARRRR-- " Goku stopped his sudden burst into song to see Vegeta
glaring up at him, slightly annoyed, " ... " he blinked, then perked up, " Come on Veggie! Join in! Es bueno! "
" No. " Vegeta said bluntly.
Goku blew a raspberry in his direction, " NEHHH! " he pulled off his fake beard and headed for the front door.
" Hey! Where do you think you're going with my list! " Vegeta protested.
" I already told you little Veggie. I am going to buy you a Christmas present. Or presents. Depending on what I
decide to get you and how much money I have to get it. " Goku said.
" Here take my credit card. " Vegeta smirked, handing it over.
" Umm, Veggie, doesn't using your money to buy your own gifts seem a little, umm, odd? " Goku said uneasily.
" Nonsense! Bulma has plenty of money to go around and I'm sure you'll buy me the "best gift ever" if you have enough
money for it. Think of yourself as a messanger of happiness and pleasure. " Vegeta said over-dramatically as he pointed to
the outside.
" OoooooOOOoh. " Goku's eyes widened as he took it all in, " Can I buy myself a lil present too, Veggie? "
" Hmm? Yeah go on, knock yourself out. " Vegeta dismissed him.
" YAY! " Goku cheered, opening the front door, " Pleasure is a large fancy bus filled with chocolate ice cream. " he
grinned, then teleported away. Vegeta stood there for a moment, confused.
" I hope he didn't mean that literally. That'd cost a fortune. " he gulped, then sweatdropped, " And why did he even
bother to open the door when he wasn't even planning on leaving through it? " Vegeta shut the front door.
" Oh let him go Vegeta, " Bulma smiled at him, " Goku's all heart. "
" Yeah, " Vegeta groaned, " And no brains. "
" Wow, so this is the mall, huh? " Gogeta said in awe as he and Vejitto walked among the huge crowds. They both now
had on black jackets with the words "Security Guard" on the back of them.
" This is why I'm glad I got my present for Kaasan and Toussan ahead of time. " Vejitto nodded, " There's so many
people here it would be impossible to find something for either one of them, not to mention something they'd LIKE. "
" Well I like this jacket! Where'd you get it? " the other fusion asked.
" Enma-sama. That other one's my backup incase something happens to this. " he tugged at his own jacket, " Besides,
fusion dance clothes are really weird. You have no real shirt. " Vejitto said, then laughed, " You would've frozen outside
if you didn't get something to wear ontop of it! "
" Hey, I can combat the elements just as much as you can! " Gogeta retorted.
" What are you planning on getting them? " Vejitto changed the subject as he stopped to look at a large station with
a light-up map of the mall, " "King of Prussia Mall. The plaza. The court. And everything else." " he read the sign.
" With what's on Mom & Dad's Christmas lists we're definately gonna need that "everything else". " Gogeta sighed.
" How do you know? "
" I have them in my HEAD, Vejitto!...well, the ones from MY timeline anyway. " he crossed his arms.
" How long ago is that? " Vejitto looked over his shoulder at him.
" About since June. Give or take a month. " Gogeta replied.
" Oh-kay, " Vejitto took a minute copy of the map off the display and began to walk ahead, " Their lists shouldn't
have changed too much. What does Mommy want for Christmas? "
" My mommy or your mommy? " Gogeta looked confused.
" Vegeta! " Vejitto exclaimed.
" OH. YOUR Mommy. "
" ... "
" ... "
" We're never gonna agree on this who's who parental roles thing, are we Goggie? " Vejitto said flatly.
" Probably not. " Gogeta shrugged, " ...wait, did you just call me "Goggie"? "
" Yeah. I'm Mommy-n-Daddy's "Ji-chan". And you can be "Goggie". "
" Goggie. " Gogeta repeated.
" Hai, it's like Veggie, only with a Go. Unless you want me to use Kaggie. "
" It's Goku, NOT Kakarrotto. " a vein bulged on Gogeta's forehead.
" Alright, Goggie it is! " Vejitto said cheerfully, passing him and heading over to a nearby display. Gogeta
sweatdropped, then glanced over to his right and gasped. He walked over to it and stared up at it with big sparkily eyes.
" OOooooOOOooooh. "
Vejitto paused and walked over to him, " OooooOOoooooOOoh what? " he cocked his head.
" THAT'S what _I_ want for Christmas! " only Vegeta's voice came out this time as Gogeta pointed up at a ruby-red
sweater with a large golden crown in the middle of it that said "KING".
" Hey Goggie, what's up with your voice? You oh-kay? " Vejitto blinked.
The other fusion turned to him with a more ouji-look on his face, " He's fine, "son". I want to let you know that I
happen to like that sweater up there. It looks warm AND it proclaims the truth of my birth-right and destiny for all to see!
Besides, being trapped in this fusion with Kakarrotto pretty much dashes my hopes for any of my true Christmas wishes and
desires. " he nodded, " ...want him back now? "
" Uh...yeah... " Vejitto said, bewildered.
" Alright--but remember! I like the sweater...and a new pair of boots wouldn't hurt either. " he ended. Gogeta's eyes
changed a bit back to normal and he shook his head wildly.
" GAHH!! I HATE IT WHEN ONE OF THEM DOES THAT!! " Gogeta held his hands on the sides of his head. He narrowed his
eyes at Vejitto, " You have no idea how lucky you are NOT to share a body with these two. "
Vejitto blinked, still in shock and confusion, " Uh, right. " he shook the creeped out feeling off, " I guess we
better go inside and get Kaasan that sweater then. "
" ...what sweater? " Gogeta said. Vejitto sweatdropped, then grabbed his brother by the wrist.
" Just follow me! "
" Well, it doesn't look TOO crowded in here. " Gogeta said cautiously. Both fusions yelped as a saleslady appeared
infront of them.
" HELLO AND WELCOME TO "STUFF, THINGS, AND VARIOUS ASSORTED ITEMS!" I'M HOLLY DAY, HOW MAY I HELP YOU! " the peppy
saleslady said.
" By going away? " Gogeta sweatdropped, both him and Vejitto frozen in place with shock.
" OH-KAY! If either of you need ANY help at all feel free to visit our Customer Help station on the far left-hand
wall! "
" Uhhh, yeah...we'll, we'll do that. " Vejitto also sweatdropped as the saleslady wandered off to great another group
of people entering the store.
" That was...really really scary....in a weird kinda way. " Gogeta scratched his head while Vejitto headed further
into the store, " HEY! WAITUP! "
" *sniff*sniff*sniff*sniff*sniff*! " Vejitto sniffed the air as an all-too-familiar smell wafted in the air, " Ahh,
chocolate. *sniff*sniff* with almonds! " he paused to see a candy display and reached for a bar only to have another hand
grab the opposite end of it, " What the-- " Vejitto looked up to see the other hand belonged to Goku, who's cheeks were
presently filled with other brands of candy. He swallowed and grinned with chocolate stains still on his teeth.
" JI-CHAN!! "
" DADDY!! " they dropped the bar and gave each other a hug, " I missed you Toussan! What are you doing here? "
Vejitto asked.
" Shopping for little Veggie! " Goku said happily, holding up a long piece of paper, " This is Veggie's Christmas
list but everything on it seems a little too, umm, really really expensive. And the stuff that isn't expensive is kinda
embarassing tasks he wants me to perform for him. " the larger saiyajin's face turned a bright pink, " I have a little bit of
pride myself too, ya know. " Goku said to nobody in particular, " Veggie doesn't need me to give him a rub-down. AND HOW
WOULD YOU WRAP SOMETHING LIKE THAT! THERE'S NO WRAPPING PAPER WITH THAT KIND OF GIFT! NO BOWS OR FANCY PAPER OR CARDS! THAT'S
NOT CHRISTMAS THAT'S A SAIYAJIN SPA! " he exclaimed.
" Maybe you could buy Mommy one of those machines you put over your shoulders and it massages them for you. " Vejitto
chirped.
" Yeah! " Goku cheered, then sighed, " But I wanna get little Veggie something special. Something he'd never suspect!
Something that when he opens it on Christmas morning his lil Veggie-eyes'll go ALL WIDE and he'll squeal with unsurpressed
joy and say "Thank you Kakarrotto, this is the bestest Christmas present EVER!" " Goku said excitedly, " And then Veggie'll
give me a big 'ol hug and we'll all go into the kitchen to have a Christmas FEAST! "
" I like to feast! " Gogeta poked his head out from behind Vejitto. Goku stared at the second fusion baby in confusion
" Hey! He looks like me-n-Veggie too! " Goku's eyes widened.
" Yeah! " Gogeta said happily.
" Toussan, allow me to introduce MY little brother, Gogeta! " Vejitto grinned, " But I call him Goh-gee! "
Goku's eyes nearly popped out of his head, " Go---gee? "
" Yup! He's the second fusion baby! AND he's only 2 days old! Isn't that COOL! " Vejitto exclaimed.
" Uhh...uhh.... " Goku blinked in shock.
Gogeta cocked his head with a big smile on his face, " Heee~~~, I LOVE YOU MOMMY! "
" IIYE!! " Goku fell over, twitching.
" Mommy? Mommy? " Gogeta poked him, then turned to his older brother, surprised, " Is it something I said? "

END OF PART 1!
Chuquita: YAY! I got two stories posted in the same week again! I'm so happy! (grins)
Goku: (thinks back) It's been a while since Chu-sama has done that.
Chuquita: (nods) Well I'm going to try to get back to my old routine of 2 to 3 posts a week. It'll probably just end up 2
per week though cuz if I did 3 all my chapters would be like 20KB....which isn't very much at all. (to Son) I'm actually
enjoying writing down both fusion babies at once. I have Vejitto's character pretty down-pact but I'm still kinda
developing/getting used to Goggie's.
Goku: I like my fusion babies. (happily) They remind me of me even more than Gohan & Goten do! Well, maybe not Goten, but,
umm..... (whispers) I forgot what I was gonna say.
Vegeta: (grinning like an idiot) Heee~~~, silly Kakay!
Goku: (smirks) Is little Veggie feelin all warm-n-gooshy yet?
Vegeta: (nods quickly several times) Veggie's happy Kaka-chan!
Chuquita: (to Son) What did you put in his sweater?
Goku: (innocently) Nothin.
Chuquita: Hnn... (narrows her eyes) Hey Veggie, you alright?
Vegeta: (loudly) MERRY CHRISTMAS CHU-SAN!
Chuquita: [claps her hands over her ears to keep them from ringing] (whimpers) Oww.... (to Son) (slightly annoyed) WHAT did
you put, IN his sweater?
Goku: Umm, it's a special sweater.
Vegeta: {running around in a circle around the desk) (happily) FWEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Goku: (w/big sparkily eyes) In't-he-CUTE!!!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops)
Goku: It, it's got a special chemical inside that temporarily slows down brain functions so the wearer doesn't have to think
too hard.
Chuquita: So...you purposely made Vegeta dum to help him avoid..headaches? (confused)
Goku: Nah! Little Veggie doesn't get headaches! (chirps) That's what I'm here for! And besides I like Veggie better this
way! (sing-song voice) Oh lit-tle Veh-GEEEEEE!
Vegeta: (pauses from running around in random directions & grins at Son) KAH-KEEE!
Goku: (pulls out a candy cane) Look what I've got for you!
Vegeta: CANDY! [zips over to where Son is) (staring up at it) GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMME!
Goku: Say please.
Vegeta: PLEASE!
Goku: Please Kakay.
Vegeta: PLEASE KAKAY!!
Goku: [unwraps the candy cane & gives it to Veggie] (warmly) Here ya go!
Vegeta: YAY!! [sticks the candy cane in his mouth and starts knawing on it.
Goku: [picks up Veggie & sets him down on his lap] (sweetly) I love my Veggie, Chu-sama!
Chuquita: He's...not going to get brain-damaged by this, is he?
Goku: Hm? NAH! Not MY little Veggie. He can live through ANYTHING!
Vegeta: (random) LAAAAAA!!!!! [goes back to sucking on his candy cane]
Goku: (eagerly) GOD-I-LOVE-THIS!! [hugs Veggie tightly] My sweet lil Veggie-chan!
Vegeta: (singing) --jingle all the way!!!
Goku: (giggles) Heeeheeheehee!
Chuquita: (large sweatdrop) That's slightly disturbing.
Goku: (frowns) Nuh-uh! [holds Veggie up] LOOK HOW CUTE VEGGIE IS!!
Chuquita: Son-kun that's just the your equivilant of Veggie hypnotizing you into being his "servant-maid".
Goku: Is not!
Vegeta: HEEEE~~~~~ KAKAY!!
Goku: (starts rubbing Veggie's tummy) Aww, who's a good lil boy! (loudly) VEGGIE IS!
Vegeta: I AM!
Chuquita: (groans) Hoo-boy....Goku?
Goku: Hmm? (still rubbing Veggie's stomach)
Vegeta: AHHHhhhhhhhhh...
Chuquita: Promise you'll take that off him come part 2's Corner?
Goku: (sadly) Aww, do I HAVE TO?
Chuquita: Well, not really...but Vedge is CREEPY this way!
Goku: (sniffles) Not to me.
Chuquita: ... (sighs) I guess this wraps up the first chapter. (to audiance) (grins) Stay tuned for Part 2 everybody!
(to Son) Remember that one Corner back sometime when we brought the animé you & animé Veggie to be special guests?
Goku: (blinks) I think so. Didn't our Veggie swindle the original Veggie?
Chuquita: Yah. (sweatdrops) Anyways, Maria Cline's written a one-part story about the 'normal' you, Veggie, & Chi-Chi
ending up in the timeline this you and Veggie and Chi-Chi live in. It was pretty good. Also reminded me how much I've
gotten you & Veggie's personalities scewwed off since I started making these fics. (happily) But I like you this way.
(to audiance) So if you get a chance to see it depending on if she posted it yet or not. I can't really remember the
title and my copy of it's in my e-mail "filing cabinet" in the computer downstairs I'll just have to say look for it
whenever it comes out. (to Son) Also Slimshady's been doing a Christmas story staring your versions which I think is
cool but I'm not sure if that's been updated yet. I gotta check for the next chapter to that next time I get online.
In fact I have about a dozen different fanfics I've been reading and following along with but that's a whole nother
thing all-together.
Goku: (smiles) You think Goggie-kun will end up living with me or Veggie by the end of the story, Chu-sama?
Chuquita: I dunno, he hasn't met Veggie yet.
Goku: (frowns) Aww, that's so sad. (perks up) EVERYBODY should get a chance to meet VEGGIE! [waves Veggie's arm]
Vegeta: (cheerfully) WAAH-YAHH!! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good chance of showers followed by flurries!
Chuquita: He sounds like you...
Goku: I know, ISN'T THAT AMAZING!!
Chuquita: ...I'm not sure what to think at this point.
Vegeta: (grins at the camera) A-LOHA OI!

Quote of the Week: -from "Peanuts"
Lucy: Rerun, as your big sister I feel it is my duty to tell you that what you see is not the real Santa Claus.
Lucy: What you're looking at is a dog in a Santa Claus suit.
Lucy: Now that I've told you this, how does it make you feel?
Rerun: (hugs Snoopy) I like him!
Chuey's Corner:
[the Corner is decorated in Christmassy lights and tinsel and decorations]
Goku: (grinning at Veggie) And I like Veggie! [reaches out to hug him] Eh? Eh?
Vegeta: Uh--YIPE! [Son grabs and hugs Veggie tightly]
Goku: Mmmmmmmm.... [rubbing Veggie on the back while hugging him] ...Veggie so nice...
Chuquita: Well, we did it guys, we survived that super-sized ending chapter to "King Me!"
Goku: (sits glowing bright red Veggie on his lap and starts rubbing Veggie's shoulders) YAY!
Chuquita: (to Son) Remind me never to write anything bigger than 50KB ever again. (groans)
Goku: Chu-sama learned a lesson.
Chuquita: Yes, let's go back to the normal-sized chapters. That way I'll get parts done sooner and move along to the next
stories quicker. (to audiance) (perks up) Anyway, today's story is our Christmas special.
Goku: (grins) Heehee, Christmas FUSION special. [moves on to rubbing Veggie's tummy]
Vegeta: (glowing bright enough to engulf a good 3 feet of everything around him) (dreamily) Wah-yaya?....
Chuquita: ... (blinks) You know Son-kun, I really don't think you should be doing that to him this early in the Corner.
Goku: But this is part of the Christmas theme, see? [points to Veggie] (happily) Veggie's face glows bright red just like
rudolph the red-nosed reindeer's nose glows bright red.
Vegeta: (now drooling slightly) Kaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
Chuquita: Christmas-time Q.O.T.W, Christmas-time Corner, Christmas-time story, Christmas-time... [looks slightly conserned at
the brightness of Veggie's face] ...Veggie.
Goku: [rubbing Veggie's cheeks; moves his hand away before any Veggie-drool can dribble onto it] Silly Chu-sama! [pulls out a
little santa-hat and plops it on Veggie's head] THAT is a Christmas-time Veggie!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) ...oh.
Goku: (whispers eagerly) Hey little Veggie, I gotcha a present.
Vegeta: (snaps out of his glowing daze) What? Where? [looks around]
Goku: [grabs a wrapped package under the desk and plops it on Veggie's lap] Here it is! (squeals) OPEN IT!!
Vegeta: (smirks) Gladly. [takes the package and rips the wrapping off to pieces, then opens the top to reveal] A jacket??
[confusedly takes out a light orange sweatshirt] (cocks his head) What's this for?
Goku: For when Veggie gets cold from the outside and the snow. (chirps) It's Old Navy Polar Fleece!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Orange?
Goku: Yeah! That's so everybody'll know whose little buddy you are! [gives Veggie a quick hug] Veggie want me to help him get
his pretty Veggie-sweater on?
Vegeta: (mildly glowing) Umm, I'm fine, thanks--HEY! [Goku takes the sweatshirt and puts it over Veggie's head and arms]
Goku: (smiles) There! Look it's even got a little hoody! [flips a large hood over Veggie's head; the sleeves go just past
Veggie's hands] How ya feelin now, Veggie?
Vegeta: (blinks) (little smile) Surprisingly warm and comfortable.
Chuquita: Polyester'll (or whatever that's made of) do that to you everytime.
Goku: (sweetly) So little Veggie is feeling all warm-n-fuzzy inside now?
Vegeta: (nods)
Goku: (hugs Veggie) YAY!
Chuquita: Speaking of presents, the story just happens to be about them, or at least deal with 'um.
Goku: (happily) Yes, it is Vejitto-chan's time to return and see his Mommy and Daddy a-gain. IT'LL BE FUN!
Chuquita: And Gogeta's in this one too.
Goku: Both of me-n-Veggie's fusion babies! (to Chu) Veggie-n-me are still both in it though, right?
Chuquita: Of course. Vejitto and Gogeta are the only two special guests, you and Veggie and everyone else who's normally in
the storyline is still there.
Goku: YAY! (laughs nervously) I was a little scared for a minute that I wouldn't be able to re-meet my fusion babies again.
Chuquita: Don't worry, they're a main part of it; along with several other things. Veggie attempts an evil plot with the use
of mistletoe, you're off busy searching for the perfect gift to get your coniving little buddy here, Mirai becomes a shopping
mall Santa, and Chi-Chi gets a temporary job at a jewerly store.
Vegeta: (snickers) Temporary meaning Onna probably gets fired on the first day for being such a witch. [glances up at Son]
Goku: ...
Vegeta: ... (evil grin) I don't see you arguing.
Goku: ..huh? (confused)
Vegeta: (flatly) You didn't hear a word I just said, did you Kakarrotto?
Goku: (grins) NOooooOOOOOOoooOOOOOoo.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Here's the story, ladies and gentlemen, enjoy.
Summary: It's Christmas time and Vejitto's coming home for the holidays, but this time he's bringing
a friend with him. After a Gogeta from an alternate timeline somehow ends up in h.f.i.l, Vejitto instantly brands him his
little brother and decides to take him home to meet their parents. Meanwhile Veggie's experimenting with mistletoe, Goku's
looking for the perfect gift for his little buddy, and Mirai gets to play Santa Claus! All this and more!
Goku: Hohoho, Merry Christmas!
Vegeta: (warming up inside his new sweatshirt) Mmmm, makes me feel all soft and mushy inside.... (cocks an eyebrow at Son)
(suspiciously) You didn't put anything WEIRD in here, did you?
Goku: Me?! (innocently) NooooooOOOoooo.
Vegeta: Hmm....alright. (snaps at him) YOU SURE?
Goku: (chuckles) I dunno...
Vegeta: (pales) Oh...now I'm worried.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
In a slightly alternate timeline where Goku had convinced Vegeta to perform the fusion dance while inside of Buu's body...
" WHADDA YOU MEAN HE'S STUCK THIS WAY!!! " Chi-Chi roared in anger at a nervous Gogeta. The entire z gang was
gathered around him.
" Well its obvious your friend's stuck this way. I warned Son Goku about the effects of the portara fusion earrings.
" Old Dai Kaioshin explained to them. Gogeta had easily defeated Majin Buu on Kaioshin-Kai and the group assumed he would
defuse back into Goku and Vegeta within 30 minutes due to the fusion dance's time limit. It had been 2 days, " He is
obviously not the same fighter born from the portaras. My closest guess is that because the portara fusion isn't meant to
wear off that since Vejitto's body did seperate it left a strong type of bond between the two saiyajins. When they performed
this 'fusion dance', the molecules in their bodies were already attracted to each other due to their portara fusion and once
they fused this time the time limit was nulified. He is merely another fusion of Goku and Vegeta, and, as the first one was
supposed to be, is permanent. "
" You're...joking right? " Gohan turned a pale color, " You mean we're never gonna see Toussan AGAIN?! "
" That IS your Toussan as far as you're concerned. " Dai Kaioshin nodded to Gogeta. Gohan looked over at the fused
saiyajin. Sure he looked like his father, in fact the facial features were so similar to Goku's it was uncanny; however
something just felt wrong about him.
" Vegeta-kun! " Bulma cried. Trunks patted her on the arm.
" Don't worry Kaasan. Toussan's probably oh-kay. When Goten and I were fused we still had our own brains, only the
same body. So Toussan's still in there. "
" We didn't have a third person though. " Goten said, confused, " ...or did we? "
" Not unless you have a split personality or somethin. " Trunks put his hands behind his head.
Gohan studied the fused saiyajin's features for whatever had slightly disturbed him just now. Gogeta was slightly
shorter than Goku by about 2 inches and was built more like the ouji. He's haircut was even more Vegeta-like, with only a
sole Goku-ish bang hanging over his face. However, none of that really bothered him that much. He watched as Bulma walked up
to the fusion.
" Vegeta? " she said hopefully.
" Bulma. " Gogeta replied, only in a single voice instead of the two merged ones. Gohan's eyes nearly shot out of his
head. The fusion's eyes even narrowed more.
" Yup! Toldja so! " Trunks said proudly.
" Vegeta!! " Bulma hugged him, " You idiot, I'm so glad you're still here. " she laughed while sniffling.
The two paused all of a sudden when the sound of a bazooka being loaded were heard loudly in the backround.
" You better move. " both voices came from Gogeta this time. The fusion looked up innocently. Bulma noticed Chi-Chi
sending death glares their way along with the bazooka she was now holding over her shoulder.
" Oh boy... " Bulma sweatdropped, backing away from Gogeta as Chi-Chi angrily stomped towards him.
" OUJIIIII!!! " she snarled in rage.
" Onna. " Gogeta smirked as Chi-Chi held the bazooka infront of his face, " You better put that thing away before you
hurt yourself. " the mixture of the voices said, nodding, " Yeah Chi-chan, it isn't very smart. " another sole voice said.
Chi-Chi froze at the last one, " Go-chan? "
" Heeeee!! " Gogeta grinned, " He is in here. " both voices said.
" Well then, " Chi-Chi said calmly, placing the bazooka on the ground and then pulling out a HUGE mallet, " LET ME
GET HIM OUT FOR YOU!! " she screamed, hurtling the mallet down and missing Gogeta by mere inches.
" AHHH!! " Gogeta yelped as he ran through the yard avoiding every hit. Chi-Chi nearly on his heals as she swung the
gigantic mallet around. The fusion baby blasted a hole through the Capsule Corp wall and through the floor. He jumped down
the hole in an attempt to lose her only to have Chi-Chi jump downward as well.
" HERE I COME YOU DISCOMBOBLED HALF-OUJI MONSTER!!! " she shouted as she lurked through Dr. Brief's lab. Gogeta was
hiding behind a large container.
" What is she, NUTS? I have her own husband in here! I'm her fusion-baby-in-law! " Gogeta whipered to himself in
disbelief, " Or would it be step-fusion-baby? "
" IT'LL BE ROASTED "FUSION BABY" WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH YOU!! " Chi-Chi exclaimed from behind him. She lept off one of
the containers and pounded her mallet against the floor, nearly missing Gogeta by inches, " HOW DARE YOU EXIST! " she hissed
at him.
" Hmmph, that's no way to be talking to the savior of the UNIVERSE, is it? " Gogeta smirked wryly.
" AAARRRRR!!! " Chi-Chi came running at him. Gogeta yelped and tripped backward only to catch himself with his hands
falling flat on the floor. Gogeta's right foot catapulted forward and accidentally smacked Chi-Chi in the face.
He sweatdropped and laughed in a nervous, Goku-like way, " Uh, heh-heh-heh, oops? "
Chi-Chi twitched and batted his foot away, then suddenly grabbed it with her free hand and tried to chuck him upward.
Gogeta sweatdropped at her ki power compaired to his, then shrugged, slightly annoyed, and flung Chi-Chi upward instead. He
lept to his feet and ran off. Chi-Chi slowed herself down with the use of the large mallet and ran after him.
Gogeta gulped, " And they let this person run free in the streets? "
" I'LL CHOP OFF THAT OUJI-ISH LOOKING HEAD OF YOURS FIRST! THEN I'LL POUND YOUR BODY INTO MINCEMEAT!!! "
" Ehhh.. " Gogeta paled. The two other voices in his head arguing with each other on weither to try and reason with
the enraged Chi-Chi or to quickly blow her up instead. Gogeta stopped suddenly when he saw Mirai's time machine sitting in
the middle of the lab and hopped inside. He ducked below the seat, " I don't want to kill her, Mommy would never forgive me."
he said to himself, folding his arms and trying to plot out what to do next. He smiled, " Maybe if I just stay hidden under
here long enough she'll give up and go away. "
" That's highly unlikely, you little demi-Ouji. " a low, dangerous sounding voice came from outside the time machine.
Gogeta bit his tongue at developing Vegeta's habit of talking his plots outloud to himself, " Why don't you come out of there
and I'll give you something good to eat. " Chi-Chi's voice changed to a kinder tone.
Gogeta paused, uncertain, " Umm, what kind of food? "
" Fish. " she smirked.
" FISH? " Gogeta's eyes widened, " I like fiiiiiiiiiish. " he grinned excitedly.
" Yes, I thought you would. " she snickered and tightened her grip on the mallet, " I have some Pepsi here for you
too. How about climbing out and coming down here so you can enjoy it. "
" OH-KAY! " the fusion chirped, hopping out of the cockpit and sliding down the side of the machine.
" YAHHH!! " Chi-Chi swung at him.
" WAH! " Gogeta froze, " YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL ME!! " he snapped.
" That's the idea. "
" ...huh? " he blinked.
" If I destory you; while I will be killing you, Goku, and the Ouji, I can still gather the Dragonballs and then
wish my Go-chan back while you and the Ouji spend the rest of your lives in other world. " Chi-Chi snickered.
" How do you know that you can just bring back my Mommy? " Gogeta said, " I'm like a kind of double-fusion. What if
their souls are connected and you can't wish him back. "
" ... " Chi-Chi shuddered at the thought, " Well we'll just have to find out, WON'T WE! " she landed a heavy swing
at Gogeta, who quickly moved his legs upward causing Chi-Chi to hit the machine instead. The time machine began to shake
wildly and several lights on the control panel lit up.
Gogeta stared at it, surprised, " What the---*FWOOSH*! " Mirai's time machine vanished into thin air, leaving behind
several burnt marks in the floor from where it stood. Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" KAASAN! " Gohan shouted as he and the others ran down the stairs, " What happened? And--where's Gogeta? " he looked
around.
" I don't sense him anywhere. " Goten said, worried.
" Me neither. " Trunks added.
" Umm, I kind of went to hit him, with the mallet, and I accidentally clobbered a side of the time machine and all of
a sudden, *poof*! It, disa...peared. " she trailed off, " We-can-get-him-back, right? "
" I'm afraid it's not that simple. " Piccolo said, walking up to her, " Gogeta could be anywhere by now. There's no
real way to track him. "
" Now he's REALLY gone forever. " Gohan groaned.
" It's not my fault! It's not my fault!! " Chi-Chi began to panic, " OHHHH! My poor little Go-chan all alone in some
scary time and trapped in that "fusion baby"'s body with that evil Ouji!!! "
" AND Gogeta. " Trunks interupted, only to recieve a death-glare from Chi-Chi. He sweatdropped.
" What's going on down here? " Bulma asked as she walked down the stairs. Everyone with the exception of Chi-Chi;
who was still worrying about Goku's safety; froze. Bulma gasped, " Where's my time machine? And where's Gogeta? "
" Well, you see-- " Gohan started, only to have Chi-Chi burst into tears and hug him tightly.
" OH MY POOR SWEET GOKU-CHAN! I'M SO SORRY!!! " she wailed. Bulma instantly turned a pale color.
" What happened? " Bulma asked.
Piccolo grabbed two very large ear-plugs and stuck them in his ears.
" Bulma, this is kind of hard to explain, " Gohan bit his lip, " But, uh-- "
" Aunt-Chi-Chi-chased-Gogeta-around-the-lab-and-he-jumped-in-your-time-machine-and-she-hit-it-with-her-mallet-and-it
disappeared!!! " Trunks exclaimed.
Bulma's eyes widened in shock, " Where, where did he get sent to? "
" We don't know. " he replied. Bulma looked upward and cried at the top of her lungs in sorrow.
" VEGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
In the regular timeline where Goku was unable to convince Vegeta to perform the fusion dance while inside Buu... 7 months
into the future of the alternate timeline. In short, 2 weeks before Christmas...
" Say CHEESE! " Vejitto grinned. One foot on the ground and another on the back of his recently defeated opponent.
" Ohhh... " a brutally beaten Freeza groaned in pain. His pupils shrunk as the camera flash went off, " I hate you. "
" Hey, you think you take one more? I wanna make a special holidy picture this time. " Vejitto asked the person he
had given his camera to; Cell, who was also battered after a failed attempt to escape h.f.i.l, only to have the fused
saiyajin security guard beat him to a pulp.
" I can't see out of my right eye, it's swollen and starting to pustule. " Cell complained.
" Aww.. " Vejitto said sadly, then perked up, " TOO BAD!! " he squealed. Vejitto looked down at Freeza, " So! You
wanna be an elf or a reindeer? " he held up a little elf hat in one hand and a red reindeer nose and antlers in the other.
" I WILL BE NEITHER! YOU MONKEY! I AM FREEZA! RULER OF THE UNIVERSE!! "
Vejitto plunked an elf hat and beard on him, " Not, anymore. " he smirked, then grinned, " Now you're Toot-Toot the
toy train-building elf! " Vejitto turned back to the camera and made a victory sign with his fingers just as Cell snapped
another picture. Vejitto ran over and took his camera, " Heh-heh, this is great! Mommy will LOVE this! "
" What are you doing anyway? " Freeza grumbled, sitting up.
" OH! I'm making a photo album for my Mommy and Daddy to give them for Christmas. Heh-heh, they're gonna LAUGH at you
guys! " Vejitto said, putting the camera away.
" Who ARE your "parents" anyway! " Cell demanded.
Vejitto froze, " Uhhh--gotta go! Bye! " he dashed off.
" STUPID SAIYAJIN! " Freeza threw the elf hat to the ground and stomped on it.
" Hmm... " Cell narrowed his eyes, " If I didn't know any better, I'd say he was the child of Goku and Vegeta. "
" You don't know any better. " Freeza rolled his eyes, " He must have hit you too hard and knocked the brain clear
out of your head before I could believe THAT nonsense. "
" After what happened back on Earth I'm NEVER telling ANYBODY who my Mommy and Daddy are EVER AGAIN! " Vejitto
groaned, then pulled out his already half-way done photo album and looked through it. He had pictures of him beating up
Freeza, Cell, the Ginyu, Babadi, and various other villains he remembered had caused harm to his 'parents'. He also had
pictures of him recieving medals of honor and such. And some of the food they sold there, " It's gonna be so great to see
them again! Daddy'll probably give me a big 'ol hug and Mommy'll even give me one too once she's seen all these pictures of
me humiliating Freeza! " he laughed, " It'll be FUN! "
" *RING*RING*RING*! "
Vejitto paused and pulled out his cell phone, " Hel-looo? " he said cheerfully, holding back giggles.
" Officer Vejitto? " one of Enma's Oni workers trembled on the line, " There's a saiyajin out here in sector 243
blowing up random stuff. We need you over here to teach him a lesson. " he said nervously.
" Oh-kay! " Vejitto hung up, then smirked determindly, " Another saiyajin, huh? " he paused, searching out a ki
reading similar to his own. Vejitto's eyes widened, " WOW! He's strong! I can't wait! Maybe I'll actually get a challenge
this time! " the fusion giggled, then put his fingers on his forehead and teleported to the other side of the grounds to see
a super saiyajin wearing a uniform similar to Gotenks blasting the area around him.
" Hmm. " Vejitto narrowed his eyes at him, then burst into ssj2 himself and flew down at the other saiyajin. He flung
his fist forward only to have the other one mirror his attack. Vejitto attempted to knee him in the gut but found him to copy
Vejitto's exact moves down to a second. This continued for several minutes until both were beginning to wary of the other's
keen insight and the fact that they were near-equal in strength.
" Did you notice we aren't really getting anywhere. " they both said at once, then froze.
" You know, " Gogeta said, " You look very familiar. "
" You do too! " Vejitto chirped, then yelped as Gogeta's foot made contact with his head.
" BIIIIIG BANG KAMEHAMEHA ATTACK!!! " Gogeta shouted, letting loose a huge blast of ki.
Vejitto cocked an eyebrow, " "Big Bang Kamehameha?" Waitaminute, that sounds just like Mommy and Daddy's attacks... "
he trailed off, then looked up to get a glimpse of the other saiyajin only to see the giant ki blast. Vejitto stopped it and
easily flung it into the air, but now without tiring himself out. It was like stopping one of his own attacks, " *Whew*. "
" Heh-heh-heh! " Gogeta teleported infront of the other fusion. Vejitto backed up only to find a wall behind him,
" HI! " he said cheerfully.
Vejitto mirrored his grin, " HI! "
An evil grin appeared on Gogeta's face and he split 4 other Gogetas off of him. Vejitto's eyes widened.
" I haven't seen THIS attack before. " he stated curiously.
" Well then you should enjoy it, since it's the last thing you will see. " the Gogetas all said at once.
" Ooh, snappy comeback. " Vejitto commented.
" Thanks! " the Gogetas grinned Son-style, then instantly snapped back into serious fighing mode. Vejitto
sweatdropped. He made a defensive position, ready to bounce back whatever attack Gogeta was about to use.
" CONFETTI KAMEHAMEHA! " the Gogetas shouted at once. Vejitto braced himself for a ki blast only to have dozens of
multi-colored streamers and sprinkles fly in his face. Vejitto opened his eyes only to see himself covered in party favors
and instantly fell over sideways.
" GAH!! " the fusion's arm twitched. He sat up to see Gogeta grinning at him, " That, " Vejitto glared dangerously,
" WAS THE COOLEST MOST FUN ATTACK I'VE EVER SEEN!!! " he squealed excitedly, " What's-your-name!! " Vejitto said eagerly.
" I'm Gogeta. I was chased by a horrible mean lady and I ended up in Mirai Trunks's time machine and she smacked
the machine with her mallet and it malfunctioned and I ended up here! " he said happily.
" ...they why were you attacking everybody? " Vejitto blinked, confused.
" I was bored. " Gogeta shrugged. Vejitto sweatdropped, " Besides, everyone around here is so weak. It's so amusing
to see how they run. " he snickered evilly.
" --see how they run. The clock rang one and down they run, three blind mice. " Vejitto sang to himself.
" Hey! I know that song! " Gogeta said, " I learned it from my Mommy's memory. " he pointed to his head.
" I learned mine from my Daddy's memory! " Vejitto replied. The two paused and instantly powered down. Their eyes
widened when they saw each other, " YOU LOOK JUST LIKE ME!! " Vejitto exclaimed, standing up, " Only, a little shorter. " he
scratched his head, " And your eyes look more like Daddy's than mine do. " he rambled on, " OH! I forgot to introduce myself!
My name is Son Vejitto Oujisama! " he said, shaking Gogeta's hand.
" And I am the great Son Gogeta Oujisama! " the other fusion said happily.
" Mmm. " they both nodded.
" ... "
" ... "
Both saiyajins froze, their eyes bulging out of their heads.
" Waitaminute. If you have he same last names I do, than that makes you my BROTHER! " Vejitto grinned, " THIS IS SO
AMAZING! How-old-are-you! " he asked quickly.
" Hm, about 2 days. " Gogeta thought outloud.
" My LITTLE brother! " Vejitto hugged his fused coutnerpart, then frowned, " I wonder why Mommy and Daddy didn't tell
me about this sooner. "
" I'm from another timeline remember. " Gogeta pointed out.
" You are? " Vejitto blinked, confused.
" Yeah, in my timeline Mommy convinced Daddy to do the fusion dance after they spilt up from being you, and after
they fused since they already had a portara fusion bond that when they made me I became permanent! " Gogeta explained.
" Wow, it's a good thing they didn't screw up the fusion dance then, isn't it? " Vejitto grinned, laughing, " I mean,
you could've ended up all fat or skinny like Gotenks did. HAHAHAHA--ipe! "
" --it's not...funny... " Gogeta growled angrily, " DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN THEY FUSE WRONG AND YOU HAVE TO
RUN AROUND ALL FAT FOR A WHOLE HALF-HOUR!! " he exclaimed.
" I can't imagine. " Vejitto replied. Gogeta let go, " You said Mommy convinced Daddy...you mean Daddy convinced
Mommy, right? "
" No. " Gogeta looked confused.
" ...hmm. " Vejitto folded his arms, " Daddy? "
" Vegeta. "
" Mommy? "
" Goku. "
" Ah, you have 'um mixed up. " Vejitto smiled.
" Nuh-uh, yours are mixed up. " Gogeta narrowed his eyes in a stubborn pout.
" You don't even call Toussan "Kakarrotto" do you? But I gues Kageta would sound a little weird. Maybe Kakata. Nah,
too many "a"s. How about Getatto! "
" That sounds like a foreign dessert. " Gogeta sweatdropped.
" Maybe Veku. "
" Umm, Gogeta's fine with me. " the younger fusion laughed nervously, then perked up, " So? What are you doing here?
I mean, " he looked around to see everyone else with a ring over their heads, " You're still alive. "
" I'm a security guard around here, but I'm going home to my Kaasan's for Christmas! " Vejitto said happily, " I
can't wait to see him again and thank him for bringing my tail back! " he poined to the fuzzy thing around his waist.
" How'd you get that back? " Gogeta's eyes widened.
" Well, it's a long story but an easy way to do it is to poke the spot where your tail should be really hard really
fast with your finger. "
" Oh-kay. " Gogeta did so. His tail shot out and he screamed in pain, " YEEEEEEEEOWWWWWWWWWW!!!! "
" Oh! By the way it'll hurt a lot so you should take some pain medicine before you do it. " Vejitto added.
" WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT BEFORE I DID IT!!! " Gogeta snapped, then sniffled as he rubbed his newly spouted tail.
Vejitto prepared to teleport, " Hey! Where are you going?! "
" I told you already, to Mommy's. " Vejitto said, " But, maybe we should get see if we can find you a gift to give
them first. It'd be kind of embarassing for you to show up without a present. " he laughed nervously.
" I AM a present! " Gogeta grinned proudly. Vejitto sweatdropped and grabbed his younger brother's wrist, " Come on,
let's go to West City first and pick something up. "
" What kind of thing? " Gogeta cocked his head.
" I guess it takes a little while before your personality's completely fused. " Vejitto made a larger sweatdrop.
" After we get a present, you think there's any place that sells REALLY BIG MALLETS. I'd like to teach that mean lady
a lesson for trying to KILL ME and CHASING ME here! " Gogeta smirked evilly.
Vejitto gasped, " Chi-Chi was trying to KILL you!!! "
Gogeta nodded sadly.
Vejitto grinned widely, " Well maybe I'll buy a mallet myself too. " he said as the duo teleported out of sight.
" Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, " Vegeta (thought I forgot about him, didn't ya?) sang to himself
as he fixed an odd-looking green wreath around his head which held dozens of little red berries, " I am gonna win this time
and Onna's gonna pay. " he sang, then snickered, " Heh-heh, improvising. "
" Vegeta-kun! Help me with these ornaments! " Bulma shouted at the top of the stairs. Her voice muffled by the tall
group of boxes in her arms labeled "X-mas tree decorations".
" Hm? Sure. " the ouji smirked, teleporting infront of her and grabbing the decorations, then teleporting them down
to the living room, " That has got to be the most useful technique I've ever learned from Kakarrotto. "
" Well, that was unusually nice of you. " Bulma smiled, slightly suspicous, " What do you want this time? "
" Nothing. " Vegeta responded, " Say, Bul-chan you think you can bend down here for a moment. " he signaled to his
height.
" Umm, oh-kay. " Bulma walked down the stairs and over to him. She bent down so she was eye-to-eye with the little
ouji, " Say Vegeta what are you wearing on your head anywa--mmmph! " Bulma was cut off when the ouji dipped over and kissed
her. Bulma's cheeks flushed red, " ...impressive..... " she smiled, then narrowed her eyes, " There's an alterior motive,
isn't there. " Bulma said flatly.
Vegeta grinned and pointed to the wreath around his head, " Mistletoe. "
Bulma's eyes widened as she stood up, " Oh God..please don't. " she groaned.
" What! It's all part of a grand Christmas scheme. " Vegeta protested.
" That's just a fancy holiday pseudonym for "evil plot". " Bulma retorted.
" ... " Vegeta avoided eye-contact, then glanced up at her, " ...maybe it is. "
" You mean you're going to try to "inservant-maid-tize" Goku by using that mistletoe on your head to ki-- "
" --NO! " Vegeta slapped his hands over her mouth, his face bright red with embarassment, " I mean, yes, but not to
all of your accusation. Only some of it is true. You see Bulma, " he took his hands off her mouth, " In this "joyous" time
of year it is customary to be as nice and cheerful to one's peasants as possible. " he began.
" You didn't think so last year when you told him Santa Claus wasn't real. " Bulma folded her arms.
Vegeta cringed, " Yes, I remember that. " he coughed slightly, " But you see, if you ALSO remember, last year I was
introduced *twitch* personally, to the uses of "mistletoe" by Kakarrotto himself. However, this year will be different.
Bulma, do you know how much kaka-slobber can enter ones mouth when accidentally caught by Kakarrotto under the mistletoe. "
" Not really. " Bulma sweatdropped.
" WELL IT'S NOT PLEASANT! " Vegeta snapped, then stuck his tongue out, " Not to mention severely DISGUSTING. However,
I plan to make a small sacrifice in returning that embarassing moment and drive Onna INSANE WITH RAGE at the same time. In
short, " he smirked, " I'm going to catch Kakay under this little bush on my head everytime I spot Onna walk by. By the
evening she'll be so enraged she'll either have a heart attack or go MAD! I shall escort her to the asylum with Kakay in tow
and we will all share the evening together. "
" So, this is still a "servant-maid" plot, only since it's Christmas you want to be a little meaner to Chi-Chi than
"servant-maid-wooing" to Goku. " Bulma said.
" Mmm, yeah pretty much. " Vegeta grinned, " SO! Whadda you think? "
" Vegeta, you can mentally drive Chi-Chi to the breaking point as much as you like, but if you go through with this
one you're probably going to drive yourself there too. " Bulma sighed.
" What do you mean? " he blinked.
" Ugh, how easily we forget. " Bulma shook her head, " Don't you remember what happened last year! "
" Um, no? "
:::" Hey Veggie? " Goku said, peering over Vegeta's shoulder.
Vegeta closed the box, still smiling, " Yes Kakarrot? "
Goku giggled, pointing to a small bundle of green leaves tacked to the overhang above
them, " Mistletoe. "
Vegeta looked up, then paled, " Mistleto--Kakarrot no, no no no n--MMPH! "
The entire gang burst into hysterical laughter as Goku layed a big wet sloppy kiss on
the smaller saiyajin.
Goku grinned, " I love you little buddy! "
Vegeta growled at him while he disqustedly rubbed the Kako-germs off his face, " ERRR...
KAKARROTTO! " he screamed angrily. Goku backed up as Vegeta chased him around the room in anger,
" I OUTTA KILL YOU FOR THAT YOU BIG DUM BAKAYARO! NOW I HAVE KAKO-GERMS IN MY MOUTH!!! ":::
" Oh yeah... " Vegeta trailed off, " You know the collective flashback really helped. "
" You're welcome. " Bulma smiled, " But that's not the point! Vegeta, for the remaining 11 days of Christmas the only
thing your true love gave to thee was 15 TONS of mouthwash and toothpaste! I spent THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS helping you treat
your imaginary "Kaka-germ-disease"!! " she shouted, " AND DO YOU KNOW WHY!!!! "
" Because you love me enough TO spend thousands of dollars making sure I'm healthy and kaka-germ free. " Vegeta
grinned.
" ...ohhh. " Bulma groaned in defeat, " I'm just saying there's less-painful-to-yourself ways to, you know, "annoy"
Chi-Chi. "
" You're going to help me mentally destory Onna, aren't you Bul-chan? " Vegeta said in awe and shock; big sparkily
eyes on his face.
" What? NO! " Bulma exclaimed.
" Aw. " Vegeta pouted.
" It's just that I think you would be better off, you know, stuffing her stocking with eggnog or baking a mousetrap
into her slice of chicken pot pie. That sort of annoying. " she said.
" A mousetrap inside a baked good...I like that. " Vegeta smiled.
" Uh, heh-heh-heh. " Bulma laughed nervously.
" Maybe I'll do that too. "
" WAHH!! " Bulma fell over, twitching, " VEGETA!! I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT!!! " she yelled, " AND BESIDES, you're
never going to get through the day "smooching" your "peasant" without going crazy yourself! "
" What if I fake it. They'll all be just "pretend" mistletoe smooches infront of Onna. " Vegeta thought outloud.
" Either way you'll be making me play psychiatrist to you before Christmas is over if you go through with THIS evil
little plot. " Bulma sighed, memories of playing head-doctor to the ouji after last Christmas still swirling about in her
head, " AND you'll re-inforce that whole "I'm Veggie's princess" kick Son-kun's been on lately. "
" Kakarrotto isn't my "princess". You are! " Vegeta snapped.
" Then why don't you tell him that. "
" Because you're not LEGALLY my princess. " the ouji looked upward, " You, have to be a saiyajin AND complete the
ritual. I, sort of left the end of it out because if I were to perform it it would require me to be at full power and I
would have unintentionally killed you along with the entire purpose of the ceremony to begin with. " he said innocently.
" Left out?! WHAT DID YOU LEAVE OUT!? "
" *DING*DING*DONG! " the doorbell rang cheerfully.
" Kakay! " Vegeta grinned, running over to the door. Bulma sweatdropped. The ouji proudly flung open the door and
froze.
" HI LITTLE VEGGIE! " Goku said happily, grabbing Vegeta and hugging him tightly, " And how are you on this
WONDERFUL winter wonderland day? " he pointed to the couple inches of snow outside. The larger saiyajin had on a santa
hat, thick red sweater, a pair of green mittens, and pants that matched his sweater. Goku still had on the boots from his
regular gi uniform.
" So soft... " the glowing bright red ouji squeaked out, being hugged closer.
" OH! Veggie means my pretty new Christmas clothes? Chi-chan bought them for me. They're made of one of the softest
warmest materials in the world. "
" What's it called? " Bulma asked curiously.
" I have no idea! " Goku chirped. Bulma sweatdropped, " There's also a special insulator under my sweater and in my
pants pockets to keep me from freezing outside! "
" uoh... " Vegeta let out another small squeak, feeling his entire body along with his brain start to go numb.
" What is little Veggie wearing in his hair Bulma? " Goku asked.
" Wayahh.. " Vegeta daze-edly babbled out in his native tongue, " Yo gazoomeh, Kakay-chaaan... " he slurred out.
" It's nothing Goku, just a "completely-doomed-from-the-start" evil plan. " Bulma dismissed it.
" Huh. " Goku held Vegeta up eye-to-eye. The ouji's face was still glowing bright red and he now had a small trail
of drool dribbling out the side of his mouth. He grinned when he noticed the red berries, " Mistletoe!! " Goku said
excitedly, " Aww, hey little Veggie come here. " the larger saiyajin leaned towards Vegeta only to have the ouji melt
into a gooey red puddle before Goku reached him.
" Eew. " Bulma cringed at the puddle on the floor, " I still can't stand it when he does that. " she shivered,
creeped out, " Goku, I'll be right back I'm going to get some paper towels and wipe him up. " she said, then left.
Goku sat down on the floor next to the puddle, watching it as it quickly reformed back into a dazed and confused
Vegeta.
" Wha happened? " Vegeta rubbed his head.
" Oh, Veggie couldn't handle the warmth of my sweater AND hugs-n-smooches all at the same time, so he had a
meltdown. " Goku said cheerfully.
" Kakarrotto, what is that sweater and pants made of? " Vegeta asked, still glowing mildly.
" Wellll, there's love in every stitch. " the larger saiyajin grinned widely, staring at Vegeta w/big sparkily eyes.
" ...oh. " the ouji was now glowing bright red at full blast again, " I, kind of meant, generally. "
Goku shrugged, at a loss for an answer. He instantly brightened up, " So! Does my little Veggie wanna know what I
came here to see him for? " he asked eagerly.
" Umm, to find out what I'm getting you for Christmas ahead of time? " Vegeta scratched his head.
" My little Veggie got me my very own present just from him just for me? " Goku gasped in awe, " Oh little Veggie
that is so sweet of you!! "
" ...heh-heh-heh-heh-heh. " Vegeta laughed nervously, slapping the glow out of his his face, " Hai, a present from
me, to you. "
" Aww, VEGGIE IS THE BEST!! " Goku cheered, " I bet it's the best present EVER! "
" Of course, you, know me. " Vegeta chuckled, still slightly in panic.
" Veggie? "
" Yes? "
" What to YOU want for Christmas? " Goku asked, staring up wide-eyed at him.
" ME?! " Vegeta gawked, " Me. What do I want, from you, as a present. " he said.
" Uh-huh. " Goku nodded.
" Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh, " Vegeta snickered evilly, " I can think of several *smirk* possibilities... "
" Anything in particular? Be--because that's why I came to Veggie's house. To find out what Veggie wanted for
Christmas so I could go out and buy it for him. " Goku said.
" "Buy"? " Vegeta blinked, then frowned, disappointed, " Oh...."buy". " he bit his lip, trying to come up with
something, " I, I really can't think of anything for you to "buy" for me. " Vegeta said uneasily, then pulled something
out of his pocket, " But I DO have a little "list". " he pulled off the rubber band causing a roll of paper 4 miles long
to fly outward. Goku's eyes widened.
" Wow, I don't think I have enough money for a list that big. "
" Oh, you don't need "money" for the things on MY list, Kakay. " Vegeta smirked, holding it up infront of Goku.
Goku's face turned to a bewildered expression as he started to read the list, " Veh-gee, none of this is in english."
he said, confused.
" Hm? " Vegeta glanced over at it, " Oh, wrong side. " he flipped it over, " That side was in saiyago. THIS side is
english. " the ouji looked up only to find Goku now nowhere in sight, " Kakarrotto? "
" VeggieVeggie come play! "
The smaller saiyajin turned around to see the larger one sitting on the arm-chair with a sticker nametag on his
sweater that read "Santa" and had a fake white beard around his chin. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Little Veggie come sit on Santa's lap and tell him what you want Santa and his magical flying reindeer to get you
for Christmas! " Goku grinned.
" I'm NOT a child, we're NOT in a shopping mall and you're NOT SANTA CLAUS!! " Vegeta stomped his foot, embarassed.
" But little Veggie... " Goku sniffled, trailing off.
" Oh play along with him Vegeta. " Bulma chuckled, re-entering the room, " Where's your Christmas spirit? "
" Out in the farthest depths of space. " Vegeta said bluntly.
" Want me to get 'um back for you? " Goku asked, taking him seriously.
Vegeta sweatdropped, " I WAS JOKING!!! " he snapped.
" Just humor Santa-Son-kun for a little while, Vegeta. " Bulma sat down on the sofa, trying her best not to laugh,
" And I'll even take your picture. "
" JUST LIKE AT THE MALL! " Goku grinned, then turned to Vegeta, " I had my picture taken with Santa once... " he
pulled out a picture taken last year with an agitated Santa sitting on his throne missing his hat. He had his hand resting on
his cheek while Goku rode one of the mechanical life-like reindeer next to Santa's chair wearing his missing hat ontop of his
head, " BOY that was fun. "
" That poor old man. " Vegeta wryly commented, shaking his head at the picture.
" Veggie ready to read his list to me now? " Goku asked eagerly, " I'll never know what present to buy Veggie if
Veggie doesn't tell me first. "
" Err... " Vegeta grumbled, then glanced over at Bulma, who was chuckling lightly at him, " I'm letting you know
ahead of time I'm not doing this for your own personal amusement. " he turned back to Goku, " I'm doing this so Kakarrotto
can know my demands and meet them with the best of his ability. "
" How must "ability" does it take to buy a present? " Bulma asked, then paused, " OHhhhhhhh... "
" Kakarrotto, I am ready. " Vegeta marched over to him. Goku giggled at the little ouji as he tried to hop on the
armchair. After several different-angled tries by the ouji to get on, Goku grabbed Vegeta from under the arms and plopped
the smaller saiyajin on his lap.
" Now, has my little Veggie been a good boy this year? " Goku asked, grinning at him.
" Hn....you mean this year alone or this year as compared to previous ones? " Vegeta said, deep in thought.
" This year. "
" ...umm.....yes, yes I have been a good ouji this year, " Vegeta lied, " And for that I deserve a present, like gift
number 8, for example. "
Goku looked at Vegeta's poor handwritting. The ouji's english letters were a pale comparison to the beautifully drawn
insignias he had written in saiyago on the back of the paper, " Umm, Veggie, I don't know how to make a souffle. " Goku said
sadly, " Whatever that is. "
" ...oh. " Vegeta frowned, " Nevermind that one then. " he put a line through it with a pencil, then grinned and
pointed to the one at the top of his list, " How about this one, "Santa". "
Goku giggled at the little ouji who was seemingly playing along now, " Oh-kay, let me see that. " Goku took the list.
His eyeballs nearly shot out of his head, " A WHOLE YEAR!? I CAN'T BE VEGGIE'S "SERVANT-MAID" FOR A WHOLE YEAR!!! " Goku
yelped.
" I wasn't talking about YOU, "Santa". I'm talkin about Kakay. " Vegeta smirked.
" Hn. " Goku sweatdropped, " Little Veggie I don't think Santa can make that wish come tr-- " he looked down and
froze to see a devastated look on the ouji's face, " I mean, umm, " Goku said nervously, then yelped as Vegeta grabbed the
bigger saiyajin and hugged him, " I'll think about it. " he said in shock.
" It'll be just a test run of course, you know, see how you like it. " Vegeta snickered, letting go of him.
" You mean how "Kakay" likes it. " Goku smirked.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, " Don't get smart with me Kaka--err, Santa. " he said hopping off Goku's lap. He smiled,
" I want you to tell Kakarrotto that if he could bring his "little buddy" this one special gift that I would be the happiest
little Veggie in the whole wide world because my ONE PEASANT cared enough for his prince to give him the special gift of his
personal servitude to me for one short year. " Vegeta exclaimed over-dramatically.
" Aww... " Goku said, touched, then suddenly remembered about his "servant-maid" uniform and cringed, " Ehh... "
" And, you know, "Santa". If Kakay is unable to care and spoil me rotten over the next year as stated in my list, the
second list item would be workable as well. " Vegeta added.
" "Giant monster truck to run over Onna with". " Goku read outloud, " VEH-GEE! I'M NOT BUYING YOU A MONSTER TRUCK;
whatever that is; AND I'M CERTAINLY NOT LETTING YOU RUN OVER CHI-CHAN WITH IT!! "
" Try number 3. "
Goku sighed, then looked back at the list and sweatdropped, " "Egg Nog"?? " he looked down at Vegeta, " Egg nog. "
" So? "
" Little Veggie wants EGG NOG for Christmas? Can't you just, you know, buy that stuff at the store for 2 dollars? "
Goku cocked an eyebrow.
" Not THAT "egg nog". The kind they make with rum mixed in it. " Vegeta grinned evilly, " It's so VERY sweet. "
" My little Veggie drinks?! " Goku sweatdropped.
" So? "
" Veggie I dunno if you should be drinking egg nog with RUM inside it. I heard it can stunt your growth. "
" NOW he tells me. " Vegeta rolled his eyes, " Well Kakarrotto I'm not getting any taller as it is. "
" But you might get even SHORTER! " Goku gasped, then smiled, " Hey, that might not be so bad... " he trailed off as
the image of a little 3ft tall Vegeta trying to reach the egg nog on the kitchen counter appeared in his mind, " Awwwwwwww,
Veggie so cute! "
Vegeta grimaced, " 3 feet tall....on second thought, forget the egg nog. Go to number 4. "
" Electric fence w/dog collar. " Goku read outloud, " I didn't know little Veggie had a dog. "
" I don't. The collar's for Onna. You see this time whenever she tries to get near you or me the collar will relay
a strong and PAINFUL electric shock to her body. AND I can set it to play a festive song while doing so. Such as "Feliz
Navidad" or "The 12 Days of Christmas". "
" Feliz navidad, yo quiero ano y felicidad! I WANNA WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS! I WANNA WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS! I
WANNA WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE BOTTOM, OF MY HEARRRR-- " Goku stopped his sudden burst into song to see Vegeta
glaring up at him, slightly annoyed, " ... " he blinked, then perked up, " Come on Veggie! Join in! Es bueno! "
" No. " Vegeta said bluntly.
Goku blew a raspberry in his direction, " NEHHH! " he pulled off his fake beard and headed for the front door.
" Hey! Where do you think you're going with my list! " Vegeta protested.
" I already told you little Veggie. I am going to buy you a Christmas present. Or presents. Depending on what I
decide to get you and how much money I have to get it. " Goku said.
" Here take my credit card. " Vegeta smirked, handing it over.
" Umm, Veggie, doesn't using your money to buy your own gifts seem a little, umm, odd? " Goku said uneasily.
" Nonsense! Bulma has plenty of money to go around and I'm sure you'll buy me the "best gift ever" if you have enough
money for it. Think of yourself as a messanger of happiness and pleasure. " Vegeta said over-dramatically as he pointed to
the outside.
" OoooooOOOoh. " Goku's eyes widened as he took it all in, " Can I buy myself a lil present too, Veggie? "
" Hmm? Yeah go on, knock yourself out. " Vegeta dismissed him.
" YAY! " Goku cheered, opening the front door, " Pleasure is a large fancy bus filled with chocolate ice cream. " he
grinned, then teleported away. Vegeta stood there for a moment, confused.
" I hope he didn't mean that literally. That'd cost a fortune. " he gulped, then sweatdropped, " And why did he even
bother to open the door when he wasn't even planning on leaving through it? " Vegeta shut the front door.
" Oh let him go Vegeta, " Bulma smiled at him, " Goku's all heart. "
" Yeah, " Vegeta groaned, " And no brains. "
" Wow, so this is the mall, huh? " Gogeta said in awe as he and Vejitto walked among the huge crowds. They both now
had on black jackets with the words "Security Guard" on the back of them.
" This is why I'm glad I got my present for Kaasan and Toussan ahead of time. " Vejitto nodded, " There's so many
people here it would be impossible to find something for either one of them, not to mention something they'd LIKE. "
" Well I like this jacket! Where'd you get it? " the other fusion asked.
" Enma-sama. That other one's my backup incase something happens to this. " he tugged at his own jacket, " Besides,
fusion dance clothes are really weird. You have no real shirt. " Vejitto said, then laughed, " You would've frozen outside
if you didn't get something to wear ontop of it! "
" Hey, I can combat the elements just as much as you can! " Gogeta retorted.
" What are you planning on getting them? " Vejitto changed the subject as he stopped to look at a large station with
a light-up map of the mall, " "King of Prussia Mall. The plaza. The court. And everything else." " he read the sign.
" With what's on Mom & Dad's Christmas lists we're definately gonna need that "everything else". " Gogeta sighed.
" How do you know? "
" I have them in my HEAD, Vejitto!...well, the ones from MY timeline anyway. " he crossed his arms.
" How long ago is that? " Vejitto looked over his shoulder at him.
" About since June. Give or take a month. " Gogeta replied.
" Oh-kay, " Vejitto took a minute copy of the map off the display and began to walk ahead, " Their lists shouldn't
have changed too much. What does Mommy want for Christmas? "
" My mommy or your mommy? " Gogeta looked confused.
" Vegeta! " Vejitto exclaimed.
" OH. YOUR Mommy. "
" ... "
" ... "
" We're never gonna agree on this who's who parental roles thing, are we Goggie? " Vejitto said flatly.
" Probably not. " Gogeta shrugged, " ...wait, did you just call me "Goggie"? "
" Yeah. I'm Mommy-n-Daddy's "Ji-chan". And you can be "Goggie". "
" Goggie. " Gogeta repeated.
" Hai, it's like Veggie, only with a Go. Unless you want me to use Kaggie. "
" It's Goku, NOT Kakarrotto. " a vein bulged on Gogeta's forehead.
" Alright, Goggie it is! " Vejitto said cheerfully, passing him and heading over to a nearby display. Gogeta
sweatdropped, then glanced over to his right and gasped. He walked over to it and stared up at it with big sparkily eyes.
" OOooooOOOooooh. "
Vejitto paused and walked over to him, " OooooOOoooooOOoh what? " he cocked his head.
" THAT'S what _I_ want for Christmas! " only Vegeta's voice came out this time as Gogeta pointed up at a ruby-red
sweater with a large golden crown in the middle of it that said "KING".
" Hey Goggie, what's up with your voice? You oh-kay? " Vejitto blinked.
The other fusion turned to him with a more ouji-look on his face, " He's fine, "son". I want to let you know that I
happen to like that sweater up there. It looks warm AND it proclaims the truth of my birth-right and destiny for all to see!
Besides, being trapped in this fusion with Kakarrotto pretty much dashes my hopes for any of my true Christmas wishes and
desires. " he nodded, " ...want him back now? "
" Uh...yeah... " Vejitto said, bewildered.
" Alright--but remember! I like the sweater...and a new pair of boots wouldn't hurt either. " he ended. Gogeta's eyes
changed a bit back to normal and he shook his head wildly.
" GAHH!! I HATE IT WHEN ONE OF THEM DOES THAT!! " Gogeta held his hands on the sides of his head. He narrowed his
eyes at Vejitto, " You have no idea how lucky you are NOT to share a body with these two. "
Vejitto blinked, still in shock and confusion, " Uh, right. " he shook the creeped out feeling off, " I guess we
better go inside and get Kaasan that sweater then. "
" ...what sweater? " Gogeta said. Vejitto sweatdropped, then grabbed his brother by the wrist.
" Just follow me! "
" Well, it doesn't look TOO crowded in here. " Gogeta said cautiously. Both fusions yelped as a saleslady appeared
infront of them.
" HELLO AND WELCOME TO "STUFF, THINGS, AND VARIOUS ASSORTED ITEMS!" I'M HOLLY DAY, HOW MAY I HELP YOU! " the peppy
saleslady said.
" By going away? " Gogeta sweatdropped, both him and Vejitto frozen in place with shock.
" OH-KAY! If either of you need ANY help at all feel free to visit our Customer Help station on the far left-hand
wall! "
" Uhhh, yeah...we'll, we'll do that. " Vejitto also sweatdropped as the saleslady wandered off to great another group
of people entering the store.
" That was...really really scary....in a weird kinda way. " Gogeta scratched his head while Vejitto headed further
into the store, " HEY! WAITUP! "
" *sniff*sniff*sniff*sniff*sniff*! " Vejitto sniffed the air as an all-too-familiar smell wafted in the air, " Ahh,
chocolate. *sniff*sniff* with almonds! " he paused to see a candy display and reached for a bar only to have another hand
grab the opposite end of it, " What the-- " Vejitto looked up to see the other hand belonged to Goku, who's cheeks were
presently filled with other brands of candy. He swallowed and grinned with chocolate stains still on his teeth.
" JI-CHAN!! "
" DADDY!! " they dropped the bar and gave each other a hug, " I missed you Toussan! What are you doing here? "
Vejitto asked.
" Shopping for little Veggie! " Goku said happily, holding up a long piece of paper, " This is Veggie's Christmas
list but everything on it seems a little too, umm, really really expensive. And the stuff that isn't expensive is kinda
embarassing tasks he wants me to perform for him. " the larger saiyajin's face turned a bright pink, " I have a little bit of
pride myself too, ya know. " Goku said to nobody in particular, " Veggie doesn't need me to give him a rub-down. AND HOW
WOULD YOU WRAP SOMETHING LIKE THAT! THERE'S NO WRAPPING PAPER WITH THAT KIND OF GIFT! NO BOWS OR FANCY PAPER OR CARDS! THAT'S
NOT CHRISTMAS THAT'S A SAIYAJIN SPA! " he exclaimed.
" Maybe you could buy Mommy one of those machines you put over your shoulders and it massages them for you. " Vejitto
chirped.
" Yeah! " Goku cheered, then sighed, " But I wanna get little Veggie something special. Something he'd never suspect!
Something that when he opens it on Christmas morning his lil Veggie-eyes'll go ALL WIDE and he'll squeal with unsurpressed
joy and say "Thank you Kakarrotto, this is the bestest Christmas present EVER!" " Goku said excitedly, " And then Veggie'll
give me a big 'ol hug and we'll all go into the kitchen to have a Christmas FEAST! "
" I like to feast! " Gogeta poked his head out from behind Vejitto. Goku stared at the second fusion baby in confusion
" Hey! He looks like me-n-Veggie too! " Goku's eyes widened.
" Yeah! " Gogeta said happily.
" Toussan, allow me to introduce MY little brother, Gogeta! " Vejitto grinned, " But I call him Goh-gee! "
Goku's eyes nearly popped out of his head, " Go---gee? "
" Yup! He's the second fusion baby! AND he's only 2 days old! Isn't that COOL! " Vejitto exclaimed.
" Uhh...uhh.... " Goku blinked in shock.
Gogeta cocked his head with a big smile on his face, " Heee~~~, I LOVE YOU MOMMY! "
" IIYE!! " Goku fell over, twitching.
" Mommy? Mommy? " Gogeta poked him, then turned to his older brother, surprised, " Is it something I said? "

END OF PART 1!
Chuquita: YAY! I got two stories posted in the same week again! I'm so happy! (grins)
Goku: (thinks back) It's been a while since Chu-sama has done that.
Chuquita: (nods) Well I'm going to try to get back to my old routine of 2 to 3 posts a week. It'll probably just end up 2
per week though cuz if I did 3 all my chapters would be like 20KB....which isn't very much at all. (to Son) I'm actually
enjoying writing down both fusion babies at once. I have Vejitto's character pretty down-pact but I'm still kinda
developing/getting used to Goggie's.
Goku: I like my fusion babies. (happily) They remind me of me even more than Gohan & Goten do! Well, maybe not Goten, but,
umm..... (whispers) I forgot what I was gonna say.
Vegeta: (grinning like an idiot) Heee~~~, silly Kakay!
Goku: (smirks) Is little Veggie feelin all warm-n-gooshy yet?
Vegeta: (nods quickly several times) Veggie's happy Kaka-chan!
Chuquita: (to Son) What did you put in his sweater?
Goku: (innocently) Nothin.
Chuquita: Hnn... (narrows her eyes) Hey Veggie, you alright?
Vegeta: (loudly) MERRY CHRISTMAS CHU-SAN!
Chuquita: [claps her hands over her ears to keep them from ringing] (whimpers) Oww.... (to Son) (slightly annoyed) WHAT did
you put, IN his sweater?
Goku: Umm, it's a special sweater.
Vegeta: {running around in a circle around the desk) (happily) FWEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Goku: (w/big sparkily eyes) In't-he-CUTE!!!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops)
Goku: It, it's got a special chemical inside that temporarily slows down brain functions so the wearer doesn't have to think
too hard.
Chuquita: So...you purposely made Vegeta dum to help him avoid..headaches? (confused)
Goku: Nah! Little Veggie doesn't get headaches! (chirps) That's what I'm here for! And besides I like Veggie better this
way! (sing-song voice) Oh lit-tle Veh-GEEEEEE!
Vegeta: (pauses from running around in random directions & grins at Son) KAH-KEEE!
Goku: (pulls out a candy cane) Look what I've got for you!
Vegeta: CANDY! [zips over to where Son is) (staring up at it) GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMME!
Goku: Say please.
Vegeta: PLEASE!
Goku: Please Kakay.
Vegeta: PLEASE KAKAY!!
Goku: [unwraps the candy cane & gives it to Veggie] (warmly) Here ya go!
Vegeta: YAY!! [sticks the candy cane in his mouth and starts knawing on it.
Goku: [picks up Veggie & sets him down on his lap] (sweetly) I love my Veggie, Chu-sama!
Chuquita: He's...not going to get brain-damaged by this, is he?
Goku: Hm? NAH! Not MY little Veggie. He can live through ANYTHING!
Vegeta: (random) LAAAAAA!!!!! [goes back to sucking on his candy cane]
Goku: (eagerly) GOD-I-LOVE-THIS!! [hugs Veggie tightly] My sweet lil Veggie-chan!
Vegeta: (singing) --jingle all the way!!!
Goku: (giggles) Heeeheeheehee!
Chuquita: (large sweatdrop) That's slightly disturbing.
Goku: (frowns) Nuh-uh! [holds Veggie up] LOOK HOW CUTE VEGGIE IS!!
Chuquita: Son-kun that's just the your equivilant of Veggie hypnotizing you into being his "servant-maid".
Goku: Is not!
Vegeta: HEEEE~~~~~ KAKAY!!
Goku: (starts rubbing Veggie's tummy) Aww, who's a good lil boy! (loudly) VEGGIE IS!
Vegeta: I AM!
Chuquita: (groans) Hoo-boy....Goku?
Goku: Hmm? (still rubbing Veggie's stomach)
Vegeta: AHHHhhhhhhhhh...
Chuquita: Promise you'll take that off him come part 2's Corner?
Goku: (sadly) Aww, do I HAVE TO?
Chuquita: Well, not really...but Vedge is CREEPY this way!
Goku: (sniffles) Not to me.
Chuquita: ... (sighs) I guess this wraps up the first chapter. (to audiance) (grins) Stay tuned for Part 2 everybody!
(to Son) Remember that one Corner back sometime when we brought the animé you & animé Veggie to be special guests?
Goku: (blinks) I think so. Didn't our Veggie swindle the original Veggie?
Chuquita: Yah. (sweatdrops) Anyways, Maria Cline's written a one-part story about the 'normal' you, Veggie, & Chi-Chi
ending up in the timeline this you and Veggie and Chi-Chi live in. It was pretty good. Also reminded me how much I've
gotten you & Veggie's personalities scewwed off since I started making these fics. (happily) But I like you this way.
(to audiance) So if you get a chance to see it depending on if she posted it yet or not. I can't really remember the
title and my copy of it's in my e-mail "filing cabinet" in the computer downstairs I'll just have to say look for it
whenever it comes out. (to Son) Also Slimshady's been doing a Christmas story staring your versions which I think is
cool but I'm not sure if that's been updated yet. I gotta check for the next chapter to that next time I get online.
In fact I have about a dozen different fanfics I've been reading and following along with but that's a whole nother
thing all-together.
Goku: (smiles) You think Goggie-kun will end up living with me or Veggie by the end of the story, Chu-sama?
Chuquita: I dunno, he hasn't met Veggie yet.
Goku: (frowns) Aww, that's so sad. (perks up) EVERYBODY should get a chance to meet VEGGIE! [waves Veggie's arm]
Vegeta: (cheerfully) WAAH-YAHH!! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good chance of showers followed by flurries!
Chuquita: He sounds like you...
Goku: I know, ISN'T THAT AMAZING!!
Chuquita: ...I'm not sure what to think at this point.
Vegeta: (grins at the camera) A-LOHA OI!
