Quote of the Week: -from "Spongebob Squarepants" 'Snowball Effect'
Squidward: [sigh] Look, you two are giving up too easily. Now Patrick, pretend I'm Spongebob.
Patrick: Than who am I?
Squidward: You're Patrick.
Spongebob: Can I be Mr. Krabs?
Squidward: No...wait, why?
Spongebob: He's a good leader.
Squidward: Would you butt out?
Patrick: Hey, you can't talk to Mr. Krabs like that, Squidward!
Squidward: I'm Spongebob, you're Patrick. [he makes a snowball and hits Patrick with it] Now, what are you going to do?
[Patrick wipes the snow off his face to form another snowball and he throws it at Squidward.] Patrick, why didn't you hit
Spongebob?
Patrick: You said you were Spongebob, Spongebob.
Spongebob: [imitating Krabs...horribly] Argh, it's true, Mr. Squidward. Now get back to work! [laughs]
Squidward: All right, I see where this is going. Let's just say for all intensive purposes that I, Squidward, am now part of
this war. Now-
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: --It's time to start part 2!
Vegeta: (wearing a little green santa suit over his sweater similar to Son's red one; neither has a santa-beard) YAY!
Chuquita: (to Son) (sweatdrops) NOW what're you doing to him?!
Goku: (cheerfully) Veggie's gonna be my "little helper" and "help" me decorate the Christmas tree! [points to a bare tree to
their right] It'll be so much fun!
Vegeta: (grins) I like fun!
Goku: (hugs Veggie) And I LOVE little Veggie!
Vegeta: (glows bright red & lets out a squeal) YAAA!!
Chuquita: You sure he's gonna be alright once you take that 'magical' sweater off him?
Goku: (confused) ...who said I was taking it off him? [carries Veggie over towards the tree]
Chuquita: [shrugs & follows them] Well you have to 'free' him sometime. I mean, do you really want Veggie like THIS for the
rest of your lives? A braindead, cheery idiot?
Goku: ... [looks down at Veggie who grins up at him with a candy cane in his mouth & a little trail of drool hanging out the
edge of his mouth]
Vegeta: EEEE~~~~
Goku: YES! [hugs Veggie tighter]
Chuquita: (groans in defeat)
Goku: (musing) Oh but Chu-sama he's so sweet-n-little-n-huggable-n-dum! I could watch over little Veggie and teach him all
sorts of amazing stuff about the world! Like how they make fudgesicles and jams and how to play "let's pretend!"
Vegeta: [happily chomps down on Goku's tail]
Goku: YIPE!! (cringes in deep pain) How to....bite my tail...
[Chu shakes her head at him]
Goku: (squeaks out as he attempts to remove Veggie's jaws from his tail) Oh-kay...I'll take it off...but not till after we
decorate the tree together..right little Veggie? [pries him off]
Vegeta: [points at Goku's tail] COOKIE!
Goku: NO! (exasperated) NOT "cookie", tail! Kakarrotto's TAIL. [wiggles his tail in the air]
Vegeta: YAY! [reaches out, trying to grab it]
Goku: Little Veggie NO!
Vegeta: (frowns)
Goku: Veggie?
Vegeta: (tears well up in Veggie's eyes) (sniffles) hhip, hhip, hhip, *sniffle*, hhip, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAHAHAHAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! "
Goku: [sniffles and grabs Veggie tightly against him] Little Veggie do not cry I am sorry I yelled at you when I shouldn't
have! I love you little Veggie!
Vegeta: (looks up, still disheartened)
Goku: Oh, look what I have for you! [pulls out a red ball-shaped Christmas ornament and hands it to Veggie] Here you go, it's
a Christmas ornament.
Vegeta: [looks at the ornament, confused]
Goku: (smiles; still holding Veggie) We all know what we do with Christmas ornaments, don't we little Veggie?
Vegeta: (smiles and nods, then hands the ornament on one of Goku's hair spikes)
Goku: (sweatdrops) That's right....we, hang them on the..tree. [takes the ornament out of his hair and places it on the tree.
Heh-heh, there we go, much better. [sets Veggie down] Now since little Veggie is so little why don't you try hanging your
ornaments closer to the ground where you won't get hurt. [freezes to see Veggie has now climbed up half the tree] (shrieks)
AHH!! MY LITTLE VEGGIE!!!
Vegeta: (happily) HEL-LO!!
Goku: (worried) Veggie--Veggie I want you to climb down slowly oh-kay. Nice and easy. No reason to be so--AHH!! VEGGIE NO!!
Vegeta: [is now trying to hang his ornament on the tip of the tree]
Chuquita: (eating popcorn) Do you want to save him or should I?
Goku: I'll do it, thanks--hey is that buttered? [points to popcorn]
Chuquita: Umm, yeah.
Goku: [grabs a handful and stuffs it in his mouth] (swallows) Mmm, good! (back to Veggie) DON'T WORRY LITTLE VEGGIE! KAKAY'S
COMIN TO SAVE YOU!
Vegeta: Huh? (blinks, then leans over only to have the branch he's on rip his santa jacket and orange sweater off; Veggie
falls down on his butt, shirtless) (groans woozily) Ohhhhh, (faints)
Goku: (gasps) VEGGIE!!! [picks Veggie up] Umm, uhh, (nervously checks Veggie's forehead for temperature) Chu-sama maybe we
should put up the ornaments with Veggie AFTER the story. (gulps at Veggie) (squeaks) He doesn't look too healthy right now.
Chuquita: Maybe it's cuz he just lost two tops and it's freezing in here even though we have the heater on...OR it could be
the fact that that was a 12 foot drop and he landed on his backside. (shivers) Probably both.
Goku: (worried) We should do something for little Veggie.
Chuquita: Uh, I'll get him a blanket, you set him down somewhere comfortable and introduce Part 2. Bye! [runs off in search
of a blanket for Veggie]
Goku: [walks over to his seat and sits down with Veggie on his lap and unconsious] Ohhhh, [pats Veggie's belly] I hope you're
oh-kay Veggie. (sniffles) I'm sorry for making you wanna climb that high! [turns to audiance] (happily) And now for Part 2 of
our little fusion Christmas special. (sniffles again) Everybody hope Veggie gets better soon!
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!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" You--you mean YOU'RE me-n-Veggie's fusion baby TOO? " Goku gawked, sitting up.
" Yep! Pretty much. " Gogeta smiled.
Goku stood up, staring at him wide-eyed, " That, is so.....COOL!!! "
Gogeta cocked his head and grinned Son-style.
" I can't believe it I have another fusion baby and I who I don't even remember having! " Goku cheered, doing a
little victory dance, " Where did you come from!--I mean, aside from the obvious. "
" Gogeta is from a different timeline, Daddy. " Vejitto piped up, " From where he came from it's only been 2 days
since Buu was defeated. "
" Wow, " Goku mused, then paused, " why don't I remember him then? "
" In my timeline you convince MY Daddy, Vegeta, to perform the fusion dance with you while inside Buu. " Gogeta
explained.
" OH! I remember that! My lil "Heeheehee, heeheeheehee" song! " Goku grinned, then frowned, " Veggie was still a
little TOO shaken up from the last fusion though to agree to dance with me. " he sighed, then cocked an eyebrow, " How DID
I convince Veggie to dance with me in YOUR timeline? "
Gogeta's face turned a mix of bright red and pink, " Uhhh a couple promises and some Veggie-smooches. " he said
indirectly, avoiding eye-contact.
" OH, Chi-chan says I'm not allowed to smooch Veggie. She says I'll get an uncurable disease that will rob me of my
senses of smell and taste and I'll have to go the rest of my life without being able to know what I'm eating and then my
eyes will fall out and I'll go BLIND! " Goku gulped.
" That's not true, Chi-chan was lying. " the larger saiyajin's voice came from Gogeta's mouth, " I didn't lose my
eyeballs at all. "
" ... " Goku stared at him bizarrely, " This reminds me of one of those old "Twilight Zone" episodes. "
" Daddy you know how when I got killed my fusion earrings split you and Mommy off and when I came back it was only me
in my head? "
" Hai... " Goku said slowly, watching Gogeta with bewilderment.
" Well, in Goggie's timeline when you made him you shared Goggie's fused body with him and Mommy like you did with
me. Goggie's you and Mommy are, umm, still in his body with him. " Vejitto said uneasily.
Goku gasped, " YOU'RE KIDDING! " he turned to Gogeta, " TELL ME HE'S NOT KIDDING! "
" Sorry Kakarrotto he's not kidding. " Vegeta's voice came out, speaking flatly.
" ...wow, this is so BIZARRE. " Goku's eyes widened, " Little Veggie from the other timeline what's it like in
there with me-n-Goggie? " he asked curiously.
" Oh it's glorious, Kakarrotto. " the ouji sarcastically commented, rolling Gogeta's eyes. He sighed, " I haven't
exactly WON, but I haven't LOST either... " Vegeta trailed off.
" Your mind? " Vejitto suggested.
" NO NOT MY MIND BUT I WILL IF YOU DON'T STOP ASKING SUCH STUPID QUESTIONS! " he snapped, embarassed, then looked
around, " Whoa, so this is what it's like to be Kakarrotto's height, eh? " a grin covered Gogeta's face, " Incredible! " he
took a big whiff of the air, " It IS fresher up here! "
" Silly Veggie! " Goku chirped, " Or is it Goggie?...I'm not sure. " he scratched his head.
" SO! Kakarrotto what has happened to you and I in these past 6 months. " Vegeta asked, now feeling unusually
cheerful due to Gogeta's tall-ness.
" ... " Goku took a deep breath, " Veggie caught my kaka-germs, we went to the circus, Piccolo tried to take over
the world, Chi-Chi and I got married again, Veggie and I became evil super-villains, Veggie became an underwear fashion model
, we went on a cruise, Chi-chan met future us, Piccolo tried to take over the world again, Veggie wished us immortal and made
me his servant-maid but that got unwished by Dende, Chi-chan went temporarily blind, Veggie was temporarily King and now I'm
here talking to you about all that stuff that happened since June! " he said all in one breath.
Gogeta stared at him bug-eyed, " I'm starting to think my present state may be the better option. " Vegeta
sweatdropped.
" AHH! " Goku squealed suddenly, " And did I mention I'm Veggie's princess now! "
" WHA--T?! " Gogeta nearly choked as the other of his voices piped up, " OH WOW REALLY! " Goku's own voice squealed
suddenly.
" Uh-huh! " the larger saiyajin nodded, " Future Veggie dubbed future me his ~*princess*~ according to Chi-chan and
now I'm unofficially Veggie's ~*princess*~ myself! " Goku said happily.
" Just THINK! Little Veggie's ~*princess*~. " the Goku sharing Gogeta's body mused, " Do I get a-- "
" --pretty oujo crown? Eventually, " Goku replied, " ...I hope. "
" Hey lil Veggie, come 'ere. " the alternate timeline's version of the larger saiyajin mused as Gogeta closed his
eyes.
" NO! NO YOU DON'T! STAY AWAY FROM ME!!! YOU'RE NOT MY PRINCESS YOU'RE MY FUTURE SERVANT-MAID!! " Vegeta shouted,
Gogeta's face bright red. He yelped suddenly and sighed in a daze.
Vejitto cocked his head.
" Veggie-hugs. " Goku nodded.
Gogeta shook his head wildly as it's regular color returned. He looked up at at them and said in his own voice,
" Neither of you doesn't happen to know how to perform an exorcism, do you? "
Vejitto and Goku shook their heads no.
" Aw, poo. " Gogeta lightly kicked the ground, " I'm still getting the hang of this "keep your body from being taken
over by the other two people living inside it" thing. " he sighed.
" I'm sorry Goggie. " Goku patted him on the shoulder, " And I'm REALLY sorry I didn't buy you a Christmas present
yet. "
" How could you have, you didn't know I existed! " Gogeta folded his arms.
" Goggie has a point there. " Vejitto agreed.
" Now I have THREE people left to shop for, Veggie, Chi-chan, AND Goggie. " Goku counted his fingers and groaned,
" And I don't even know what Goggie likes! "
" Just buy something you think you would like that Daddy would like too. " Gogeta adviced him.
" How come you call Veggie "Daddy". I thought Veggie was "Mommy". " Goku asked.
" To ME, Veggie's "Mommy". " Vejitto boasted, " HIM I can't figure out. " he pointed to his brother, " I mean, I
dunno, I can't picture you as "Mommy". "
" I can. " Gogeta chimed in. Vejitto sent him a death glare and Gogeta blew a raspberry back at him.
Goku sweatdropped, " Maybe I should go look for Veggie, Chi-chan, and Goggie's presents on my own while you help
Goggie find something for me-n-Veggie. " Goku told Vejitto, " Besides, if I'm there with you it won't be a *SURPRIIIISE*! "
he grinned eagerly, " I'm gonna try this other store down by the escalators. " he explained.
" Alright Mommy, " Gogeta said, " But watch out for the sales-people as you leave, they're creepy. " he shivered.
" I know, " Goku grinned, " THAT'S why I teleported in here. "
" Hmm, now if I were my little Veggie, what would I want me as me to buy me as Veggie for Christmas. " Goku stated as
he stood in the middle of a JCPenney's.
:::"Goku you take those gloves off right now! " Chi-Chi snapped at the larger saiyajin as he reached for the backdoor
to their house.
" But I like my gloves Chi-chan, besides, you're the one who got 'um for me in the first place. " Goku mused, " You
picked them out for me and said "Oh Go-chan these would look so nice on you and they'll keep your hands warm when we spar
in the wintertime". "
" Yes, but that was BEFORE that evil little ouji bombarded his smelly EVIL self into our lives. " Chi-Chi pointed to
Goku's gloves, which were, ironically, the same white color and style as the smaller ones Vegeta almost-never took off, " I
will NOT have you walking around outside in anything that resembles ouji-wear. " she yanked off his beloved snow gloves and
tossed them over her shoulder, then perked up, " Besides, I have something even better! " Chi-Chi pulled out a pair of white
mittens.
" Ooooh, pretty! " Goku went to grab them only to have Chi-Chi pull them away.
" As you can see Go-chan, not only do they NOT resemble the Ouji's gloves, but since mittens keep all your fingers
together in the same pocket they also keep your hands warmer in general due to all your fingers sharing the heat. " she
plopped one on his hand, " See? " Chi-Chi smiled.
" Ahh, heehee. " Goku grinned, " It looks like a hand puppet! " he moved the 'puppet''s mouth, " "Hello!" ":::
" YEAH! Of course! Mittens! Little Veggie doesn't have any mittens to keep HIS little fingers all nice-n-toasty for
when it starts snowing. In fact I wonder if Veggie even has more than one pair of gloves. " Goku thought outloud, " To tell
the truth, I don't even think I've ever seen what Veggie's non-gloved hands LOOK like. " the large saiyajin gawked in
realization, " Wow. " he blinked, them smiled, " Mittens it is then! And maybe even a few other Veggie-gifts along the way! "
Goku looked upward and grinned, " Thank you Chi-chan!! "
" ACK! " Chi-Chi yelped, " I felt like somebody just accidentally stabbed me in the back. " she stuck her tongue out
as stood behind a counter in a jewelry store. In the display were various jewels including a diamond necklace with a little
paper pointing to it labeled "Son Goku I'm sure Chi-Chi would really love it if you were to buy her this necklace. Love,
Chi-Chi." " Boy am I glad I took this temporary job. " she said happily, " Not only will I earn enough money to buy some
decent gifts this year but I can sense Goku's ki around here so he's bound to pass buy and see the little hint I've dropped
him about the necklace. I can't wait! "
" Neither can I, Onna. " a familiar voice said from behind her. Chi-Chi instantly felt a ki that seemed, to her, to
be pure evil.
" Oh no. " she groaned, turning around to see Vegeta.
" On-na. " he countered, smirking.
" What are you DOING here, Ouji. " Chi-Chi gritted her teeth.
" Oh, you know, just doing some BARGAIN shopping before the big holiday. Seeing as I'm filthy rich and all. " Vegeta
boasted.
" YOU'RE not rich, Ouji. Bulma is. " Chi-Chi glared at him.
" Whatever you say Onna. " Vegeta brushed it off, " But then again I'M not the one reduced to working behind a CASH
REGISTER. " he boasted.
" Just buy what you want, and LEAVE. " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes.
" I'm looking for some rings that I can implant gems in. " Vegeta smirked, " Something fancy, elaborate, and wildly
expensive. " he folded his arms.
" What kind of "gems" are you working with. " she gritted through her teeth. The ouji happily held up a pair of
earrings, each with a sparkily yellow orb at the tip of them. Chi-Chi yelped, " PORTARAS! "
" Me-n-Kakay's portaras. " Vegeta patted the earrings lovingly, " I was thinking of getting the portara gems
themselves transplanted from their earrings each into a different ring. Or possibly two necklaces, it all depends on what
mood I'm in and what type of necklaces and rings you have. " he watched entertainingly as Chi-Chi's blood began to boil.
" Have you shopped for BULMA yet? " Chi-Chi said, trying to stay calm, " Maybe you should take care of HER first. "
" Already did. " Vegeta grinned proudly, then snickered, " Boy did I get her a PRESENT. "
" Ugh, enough! " Chi-Chi grumbled, " Get out of this store RIGHT NOW or I will personally kick you out on my OWN! "
" On what charges? " he smirked.
" CHARGES?! "
" Well this isn't your house, Onna. It's a public area open to the public and consumers of this fine establishment. "
Vegeta said innocently, " Why you could get sued for kicking a potential customer out of this store JUST because you have a
deep dislike for him. "
" WHY YOU-- " Chi-Chi pulled out a bazooka from under her desk, loaded it and aimed it at Vegeta's face.
" And THIS could get you sent to jail for life! " Vegeta added with an unassuming little smile.
" You're the one who's gonna get his behind slapped in jail, Ouji. " Chi-Chi growled.
" Uh-huh....I understand. " Vegeta smirked, then raised his arms into the air and shrieked in a mocking absolute
terror, " AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! MURDER! MURDER!!! " he screamed, supposedly horrified. Chi-Chi froze as every nearby
shoppers' eyes locked onto her and Vegeta.
" MRS. SON! " a man's voice exclaimed from behind Chi-Chi in shock and anger. Chi-Chi cringed, then silently glared
at Vegeta, who momentarily grinned at her, then went back to looking frightened, " WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING! WHERE DID
YOU GET THAT WEAPON AND WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING MY CUSTOMERS!!! " the manager yelled at her.
" Uhh--- " Chi-Chi gulped as her brain went blank, " I, I can explain, really-- "
" --OH IT WAS HORRIBLE! " the little ouji wailed, interupting her. Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " All I did was ask this
lady what kinds of rings and necklaces they sold and she *sniffle* and she went CRAZY! She started saying she was gonna kill
me and that I was *sob* "EVIL!" and all I wanted to do is buy some jewelry for Kakay-chan and me. " he covered his face with
his hands and pretended to cry.
::OOH! EVIL LITTLE OUJI! He's making ME look like the bad guy!:: Chi-Chi thought to herself, catching Vegeta
snickering at her out of the corner of her eye, ::What a faker!::
" Oh you poor little thing. " a rather plump woman walked up to the ouji and patted him on the shoulder.
" *sniffle* Thank you, you're so *sniffle*, kind. " Vegeta choked back his fake tears.
The woman turned to Chi-Chi, " How dare you attack this innocent child! "
Vegeta fell over, " "CHILD?!" " he got up, an embarassed look on his face.
" Hey, aren't you Bulma Briefs's husband? " a young girl came over to Vegeta, " I saw you two in the newspaper a
little while ago! "
" Why yes, I AM. " Vegeta boasted, shaking her hand, " Vegeta Oujisama, glad to meet someone who's appreciative
enough NOT to instantly start firing bazooka missiles at me. "
" WAHHH!! YOU'RE BULMA BRIEFS'S HUSBAND!!! " the jewelry store manager yelped, then clasped his hands together, " Mr.
Oujisama I must apologize for my employee's behavior; I'm sure she had no idea who you were and we hope this little incident
doesn't damage Mrs. Briefs opinion of our humble jewelry store. " he bowed lightly.
Chi-Chi inwardly raged at the prince.
" Oh I'm sure I could forgive you. " Vegeta brushed him off, then smirked, " In fact I might even return to this
store of yours very soon. BUT FIRST I'd like to meet with my 'consultant' to see whether I would prefer to place these
beauties in a ring or necklace. It's a very tough decision you know. " he said, then paused when he sensed a burst from
Goku's disguised ki. Vegeta looked upward at the second floor of the mall and snickered, " Well, what do you know, I think I
see him now. " he grinned evilly as everyone else turned their heads upward. Vegeta quickly dashed to the side and teleported
away. Chi-Chi yelped as she saw the end of his disappearing act.
" AHH-HA!! HE'S GOING AFTER MY GO-CHAN!! " Chi-Chi gasped, " I'VE GOT TO STOP HIM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!! " she
geared up, ready to leap over the counter only to have everyone instantly send death-glares her way.
" Mrs. Son I don't think you're going anywhere if you wish to keep your job. " the manager said coldly, " Now get
back behind the counter, stop attacking my customers, and hand over the bazooka! "
Chi-Chi snorted and did so.
" Any OTHER weapons you have under there I'd like to see as well. " he folded his arms.
" Errr, " Chi-Chi grumbled as she pulled out several grinades and a small ouji-seeking missle, " HERE. "
The manager carried the items to the backroom of the store, " There. " he said as he set them down, " MUCH better. "
" Heeheehee, its so CUTE! " Goku said happily as he walked away from his latest purchase for the ouji, which
consisted of a white t-shirt with the word Veggie written in green letters on it. The "i" in the word was a carrot and the
dot on the "i" was the leafy green puff from the carrot which was hovering above it, " An actual t-shirt with Veggie's
nickname on it, what are the coincidences of me finding something like THAT! " Goku said, impressed with himself. He also had
a pair of puffy white and yellow mittens in the shopping bag which had the tip of its thumbs and hand yellow while the rest
of it was white; a perfect match to Vegeta's yellow-tipped white boots. The saiyajin had also bought a carton of rum egg-nog.
He looked down into the shopping bag as he placed the t-shirt back inside, " Well, at least I could promise ONE thing to
Veggie that was on that gigantic Christmas list of his. That's good, right? " he sat down on one of the sample beds in the
furniture section and sat his bag down on the floor. Goku sighed, " That must've been the longest line I've ever stood in! It
sure feels GREAT to sit down. " he stretched and placed his hands down on the sheets. Goku froze instantly, " ...wow. " his
eyes widened to 3x their normal size, " This has got to be the most comfortable pair of sheets I've ever touched. " Goku
slowly said in awe, then grinned, " I'M GONNA GET SOME FOR VEGGIE! " he squealed, jumping down. He whipped out the ouji's
credit card, " Plastic. The gift that keeps on giving so you can give to the one who gave you the gift that keeps on giving,
gifts! "
The large saiyajin walked over to a platform of piled up boxes of sheets and started to search for the warm red ones
he had been sitting on. He grinned as he spotted one reading "king" and pulled it out, " Haha! Veggie's in for a whole bunch
of surprises THIS Christmas. He doesn't even know about the egg-nog since I was mad about getting it before. " Goku held up
the package containing the sheets, " This is my LUCKY DAY! "
" Really? How come? " a deeper voice came from behind Goku and he sweatdropped. Goku glanced over his shoulder to see
the little ouji grinning up at him. Vegeta waved.
" Uhh--hi Veggie! " Goku whipped around and hid the package behind his back, " What're you doing here? "
" Oh, nothing really. Shopping for gifts for people who are very near and dear to my heart; same as you. " Vegeta
smirked, staring at the shopping bag, " So? Anything in there for your little buddy? " he wandered over to it.
" AHH! Veggie don't! " Goku grabbed the shopping bag with one arm and held the package under the other, " You'll ruin
all the surprises! "
" ALL? " Vegeta grinned, " You mean you bought me MORE than one thing? "
" Of course I bought my little Veggie more than one thing! I always buy all my friends at least 2 presents each. "
Goku smiled, then held up the ouji's credit card, " And since Veggie gave me his little Veggie-card I can buy Veggie even
more stuff! "
" Who're the bed-sheets for? " Vegeta asked, smirking.
" Uhh, I was just looking at 'um, you know. Nobody in particular. " Goku laughed nervously, putting his hand behind
his head. The smirk grew wider on the ouji's face.
" You're too kind, Kaka-chan. " Vegeta responded slyly, then asked, " Kakarrotto, when buying a piece of jewelry for
a close friend, would you choose a ring or a necklace? "
Goku thought for a moment, " A ring is what you use somebody when you get married, little Veggie; so I'd probably
choose a necklace. "
" ... " Vegeta blinked, confused, " You use rings for that? " he cocked his head.
Goku grinned with delight at the little ouji's confusion, " Veggie didn't know that? " he said happily, " Aww! That's
CUTE! Silly Veggie, when you get married on Earth you ALWAYS wear a ring! "
" Hn, Bulma and I didn't need any rings for our saiyajin mating ritual. " Vegeta folded his arms stubbornly, then
paused, " How come you and Onna don't wear any? "
" Well, I keep mine at home cuz I'd probably destroy it if I went out sparring while wearing it. " Goku sighed, " It
would melt right off my hand if I went ssj with it. " he nodded.
" What about Onna? " the ouji smirked.
Goku frowned, " Umm, I'm not really sure. I think--I think Chi-chan doesn't wear hers because, umm, she might lose it
when she's cooking or something. " he shrugged.
" Interesting. VERY interesting. " Vegeta rubbed his hands together maniacally.
" *hicket*? " the larger saiyajin blinked at him, baffled.
" I'll be taking my leave now, Kakarrotto. Thank you for your assistance. " Vegeta shook Goku's hand. The larger
saiyajin smiled and hugged the smaller one.
" Aww! You are welcome little Veggie! " Goku said happily, then grinned widely and held Vegeta up, " Look Veggie!
Mistletoe! " he pointed to the wreath the ouji still had on his head, " Come'ere my lil ~*Veggie-chan*~... " Vegeta yelped
as his face went bright red. He slid out of Goku's grasp and teleported away before he hit the ground, " Huh. " Goku blinked,
then folded his arms, " Well that's plain rude! I don't understand you Veggie! WHY would you purposely wear mistletoe on
your head when you don't even wanna be smooched! It makes no SENSE!....but that's why I like you! " he said cheerfully, then
picked up his shopping bag and headed for the cash register, " I wonder if Veggie'll like these bed-sheets?... "
" *sigh*. " Chi-Chi groaned as she sat behind the counter, " Stupid Ouji; made a FOOL of me. I could live the rest of
my life without EVER seeing his evil Ouji-face ever again! " she grumbled, then yelped suddenly as a figure teleported
infront of her, " AHH! " Chi-Chi jumped back.
" Heh-heh-hehhh~~~ " Vegeta stood there with a very big grin on his face.
" Where did I go wrong. Tell me, Dende. " Chi-Chi moaned, getting back on her chair, " What is it NOW, Ouji? Here to
humilate me again...and why are you SMILING like that? " she cocked an eyebrow.
" Onna I would like to see all types of rings this store sells that can have a large, beautiful portara gem fitted
inside them. " Vegeta said calmly.
" Hn. " Chi-Chi glared at Vegeta and took out a large case from the second shelf. She put it on the counter and
opened it to reveal dozens of jewel-less rings. Vegeta smiled at one and picked it up. The ring had fancy, elaborate designs
throughout the outside and a large enough hole to fit the portara. The inside of the golden ring was completely smooth as if
designed to be engraved.
" Yes, I think two of these would do just nicely. " Vegeta placed one on his finger, admiring it, " Don't you think,
Onna? " he smiled.
Chi-Chi froze in-place as her pupils shunk to half their size.
:::" Heh. " Vegeta held up his hand and purposely admired his ring, which caught Chi-Chi's attention.
" What's that? " she asked, narrowing her eyes at him.
" My portara. I had Dende restore it a long time ago and had a jeweler place it in this ring. " he said casually,
" Kakay wears his on his left hand. You know, the same way we did when we used them on our ears...for the fusion. "
" Cute, Ouji. Very cute. " Chi-Chi said with distaste.:::
" Onna? " Vegeta waved his hand infront of her face, " Onna you alright? "
" AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! " Chi-Chi screamed suddenly, " PUT IT BACK! PUT IT BACK! " she said frantically.
" What? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow, " Why? "
" FUTURE YOU--THE RINGS--JEWELER--YOUR "KAKA-OUJO"--MAKE IT STOP!!! " Chi-Chi shrieked, starting to shake with
nervousness.
" Onna I think you've really lost it this time. " Vegeta rolled his eyes, then smirked, " All the better, I'll gladly
arrange a room in the West City Asylum for you. It'll be such a fun drive there. "
" OU-JIII!! " Chi-Chi grabbed him by the collar.
" Now now now, what did your manager tell you earlier; wouldn't wanna get yourself FIRED over little 'ol me, would
you Onna? " Vegeta snickered.
" Ouji! " she snapped.
" Hmm? "
" Ouji, that is the ring future you was wearing when I first met him! If you give one of those to Goku you could set
off that whole "Princess Kakay" thing future you was babbling about!! " Chi-Chi exclaimed.
Vegeta's eyes temporarily widened with fear, " Uhh.... " he shook it off, " Nonsense! Kakarrotto knows his place; and
it's as my rightful servant-maid to the throne! " he said stubbornly.
" Fine, fine. Put your stupid portara in those two rings. But don't come crying to me when Go-chan shows up on your
doorstep in a wedding dress asking you where you want to go on the honeymoon. " Chi-Chi snorted. Vegeta's face turned a pale
green.
" What "wedding dress". You never said future me said anything about a "wedding dress". " Vegeta said nervously.
" He didn't! I just assumed that since he called future Goku his "princess" and that they both wore those rings
you're holding right now that... "
" LIAR! " Vegeta growled, " You had me worried for a minute there Onna. "
" I never DID get to find out if future you had 'marked' MY Go-chan. " she narrowed her eyes at him.
" I'm sure it was all a scam, Onna. They knew you were coming because they were Kakarrotto and I at one time so they
decided to pull at little prank. " Vegeta explained logically, " And since that is probably the source of that whole
ridiculous "Princess Kakay" theory I will defy that supposed destiny and purchase these rings for my portara anyway because
_I_ control my own future. One where Kakarrotto will see what a terrible witch you are and become my servant-maid and we will
both laugh at you through the little window to your asylum's cell. " Vegeta boasted.
" ...I don't care I'm still not letting you buy those rings. I'm NOT letting you win, Ouji. " Chi-Chi snarled.
" Very well then, " Vegeta smiled pleasantly, " AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! " he wailed at
the top of his lungs, causing the manager and several other employees to come running out to him, " You BAKA! " Vegeta
pointed at the manager, " I thought you said you wouldn't let this happen again! " he fake-sobbed.
" Wha--what happened Mr. Oujisama? " the manager asked him.
" I, I just wanted to have my gems inserted into these two rings but, *sniffle* but, she WOULDN'T LET ME AND SAID I
COULDN'T BUY THEM BECAUSE I'M "EVIL"!! *sob*!! I'm not "EVIL", am I? "
" Aw, " one of the other girls working there said sadly, patting Vegeta on the head, " Poor baby. "
" Yeah Onna, hear that, I'm a poor baby. " Vegeta turned to Chi-Chi, still fake-pouting.
" I'll kill you. " Chi-Chi said under her breath.
" Mr. Oujisama we'll gladly insert these gems inside the rings for you. " the manager said politely, then pointed at
Chi-Chi, " As for YOU! One more slip-up and you're FIRED! "
" Yeah Onna, "fired". " Vegeta snickered menacingly, then noticed the nervous look on Chi-Chi's face as she watched
the manager insert a portara into each gem-holder of the two rings. Vegeta blinked, " This's really got you spooked, huh
Onna? " he said, surprised.
Chi-Chi quickly nodded her head.
" Aw... " Vegeta trailed off, " GOOD! " he cackled. Chi-Chi glared at him, then went back to worrying about the
portaras.
" Alright Mr. Oujisama. It's finished. " the manager handed the rings over to Vegeta, " If you ever want them placed
back into the earrings just come back anytime you like. Preferably when the store's open. "
" Uh-huh. " Vegeta smirked, slipping one of the rings onto his right hand. Chi-Chi's already frantic stomach did
flip-flops and she felt like she was about to either faint or throw-up.
" How would you care to pay for that Mr. Oujisama? " the manager asked.
" Heh-heh. " Vegeta grinned and held up one of his credit cards.
" EXCELLENT choice, sir. " the manager swiped the card through, then handed it back to the prince along with a recipt
and a baggie and fancy-looking red velvet case to put the other ring in, " Thank you for choosing our store. "
Vegeta held his hand up to look at his ring just as Chi-Chi fell to the ground with a thud; fainted, " You're
welcome, in fact, " he said as he walked off, " I think I might be coming back here again VERY SOON. "
Heeheehee, I LOVE Christmas-time! " Gogeta said happily as he and his brother stood on the escalators going down. He
now had two large shopping bags in each of his hands.
" Yeah! This is my first official Christmas too! " Vejitto added. He paused, " Hey, did you feel Mommy's ki just
now? " he asked.
Gogeta focused, " You're right! And it's Daddy's. " he corrected Vejitto, who sweatdropped, " Let's go surprise him!"
he grinned, dashing off.
" Uhh... " Vejitto blinked, then yelped suddenly, " AHH! GOGGIE NO! HE DOESN'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE YET!! " he shouted,
running after him.
" Hahahahahaha--! " Gogeta screeched to a halt just feet away from the jewerly stand and froze. Vegeta was happily
walking away from it holding a small shopping bag while an enraged Chi-Chi stood behind the counter ready to leap over it and
attack the ouji; holding a very familiar bazooka over her shoulder, " She's going to try to kill Daddy. " Gogeta murmured in
shock, his body starting to shake, " Like she tried to kill ME. " only Goku's voice came out this time, choked up, " How
could Chi-chan do it...killing me just so she could kill Veggie once and for all... " he said in disbelief, " I think I
understand now....I WON'T LET YOU DO THIS!!! " Goku screamed in anger.
" Yipe! " Vejitto yelped and tackled Gogeta to the ground before he could burst into ssj and launch himself at
Chi-Chi, " Goggie don't! Goggie, Gogeta--calm down! Not here! Not now! "
Vegeta paused and glanced in their direction. Vejitto quickly surpressed his ki as he watched his smaller fusion
parent shrug his shoulders and head over to the food court. Vejitto sighed. Gogeta now had a mixture of devastated and
furious expressions on his face.
" Veggie is RIGHT, Ji-chan! Veggie is RIIIIHIIIHHIIIIGHT! " Goku's voice sobbed from inside Gogeta's fused body.
" It's oh-kay, Toussan. " Vejitto said quietly, helping him up, " But I CAN'T just let you loose and attack somebody
in a public area! Look at all the people around here! They could get hurt! " he exclaimed, then pulled out the two mallets
both fusions had bought earlier, " We'll kick her butt when we all get back home! " Vejitto grinned cheerfully.
" YAY! " Gogeta's voice cheered. Goku was still crying inside.
" I STILL say we should attack Onna now! NOW do you see what I've been babbling about all this time Kakarrotto! "
Vegeta's voice scholded the larger saiyajin.
Gogeta nodded, " Yes little Veggie. " Goku responded quietly. He paused, " Does Veggie still love me? "
" Hai. " Vegeta's voice said, " Kakarrotto if you were to lose an arm I would never kill you just to wish you back
so you would regain the arm you lost. I will never kill you for my own personal gain. "
" Yeah, besides if you did all of us'd die too anyways! " Gogeta laughed, " Hahahahaha!....ha... " he sweatdropped to
hear both voices silencing themselves to his subconsious, " Well that wasn't very nice. " he grumbled.
Vejitto watched his fused counterpart in confusing, cocking his head every now and then.
" HO HO HO! And what do YOU want for Christmas little girl? "
Both fusions froze and their eyes widened with excitement.
" I want a pony, and a converteeble, and stuffed bunny rabbit! "
Gogeta and Vejitto peered over a nearby crowd to see 'Santa' on his throne with a little girl on one of his knees.
" SANTA CLAUS!! " they both squealed at once, then quickly covered their mouths as several people glanced over at
them, surprised.
" Heh-heh-heh-heh. " Vejitto laughed, embarassed.
" Wow! Santa Claus! " Gogeta grinned.
" Hey, speaking of bunnies did I ever show you the fusion bunny Toussan made for me? " Vejitto said eagerly, " It's
so cute-n-it's-black-n-grey-n-white! I've been calling him Freckles! "
" Where is Freckles? " Gogeta asked.
" Oh, I left him with Grampa and Gramma over my break. " Vejitto replied.
" HOW DARE YOU CRAP ON MY ROYAL THRONE! " Bejito yelled angrily as he chased Freckles around the house, " COME BACK
HERE YOU MULTI-COLORED LONG-EARRED RODENT!! " he swung his scepter in the air.
" He'll be fine, don't worry about him. " Vejitto said to his little brother, " I am sure he is in capable hands. "
he nodded.
" Oh-kay Vejitto. " Gogeta said, still a little bit shaken up.
Vejitto floated upward just enough to see over the crowds, " HEY! That isn't the REAL Santa Claus. It's Mirai Trunks
in a Santa suit! " he folded his arms, then grinned, " This'll be funny. " he landed on the ground, then grabbed Gogeta by
the wrist, " Come on Goggie! "
" Why hello little boy, and what's your name? " Mirai did his best 'Santa' impression. The boy stared at him for a
moment, then burst into tears.
" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
Mirai sweatdropped, " Oh...don't, don't cry now. Santa knows you've been a good boy this year. " he said, picking the
child up and setting him down where the chatty girl had just been. The boy stopped crying and started sucking his thumb in a
nervous manner until he finally quieted down and grinned widely; relieved.
" There, that's better. " Mirai said, " Now what would you like Santa to bring you for Christmas? "
" P! " the boy grinned.
" Uhh, P? " Mirai said in his normal voice, confused, " A, Plane? "
" No plane! Plain pee! "
" Plai--p-- " Mirai's face turned a pale green as he looked down to see his entire leg was now soaked in a smelly
yellow liquid, " Oh.....dear Lord why... " he cringe in disgust, then picked the boy up and handed him over to his mom,
" Here you are ma'am, I, think he needs to change his..diaper. " Mirai once again looked at his wet leg, " Eew. "
" NEXT! " a woman dressed as an elf said. Another little girl came forward.
" Ho ho ho. Why hello little girl, and what's your name. " Mirai said, trying to be cheerful.
" If you're the real Santa Claus how come you don't know my name? " she asked, " Santa's supposed to know who's been
naughty or nice but aren't you supposed to know our names too? If you didn't know my name how do I know you're the real Santa
Claus huh? " she said suspicously.
" Ohhhhhhhhh, boy. " Mirai groaned, slapping himself on the forehead, " Listen, why don't you just tell Santa what
you want for Christmas, hm? "
" Sure? Where is he? " the little girl smiled, looking around. Mirai sweatdropped and muttered something under his
breath, " NEXT!!! " he screamed.
" Hello SAN-TAH! "
Mirai's eyes shot wide open to see Vejitto waving at him along with a similar looking yet slightly shorter person,
" Veh--ji--? "
" WHEE! " Vejitto landed on Mirai, nearly breaking his leg. Mirai yelped in pain, " Santa Claus, for Christmas I
would like a very very large banana, peanut-butter, and marshmellow flavored Candy Cane!....and some toys. " Vejitto grinned,
then hopped off. Gogeta hopped on in his brother's place.
" And I would like to see Chi-Chi slaughtered and killed unmercilessly--unmercifullessly...un--OH I just want her to
go blow up! " Gogeta exclaimed, hopping off.
" Who was that? " Mirai blinked at Vejitto.
" My little brother! " Vejitto said proudly, " His name is Goggie! " he patted Gogeta on the shoulder, " See you on
Christmas Day Mirai!--Oops. I mean, *snicker* Santa. " the two fusions did their best not to burst into laughter as they left
the scene. Mirai sweatdropped.
" Well, at least it can't get any worse than that. " he said, rubbing his knee. A little boy came up to him with a
long trail of boogers coming out his nose.
" *sniff* Hi Santa. " he said, his voice congested. The boy sneezed, sending a bus-load of snot onto Mirai's leg.
" "You're good with little kids", Mom said. "Just look how much baby Trunks liked you", Mom said. Oy! " Mirai groaned
, " Why me! "
" Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh what fun, it is to ride, in a one horse open sleigh, HEY! " Goku
sang to himself as he headed for towards his house carrying enough packages on his back to make Santa proud of him. He
happily knocked on the door only to have it slowly creak open. The large saiyajin walked inside and paused when he felt what
to him was a light tap at his chest.
" YAH! "
Goku looked down at Chi-Chi, who had her fingers pressed against him. The couple exchanged embarassed expressions
before Goku spoke up, " HI CHI-CHAN! " he grinned.
" Go-chan! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, hugging him tightly, " Oh sweetie that EVIL little Ouji made a MOCKERY of me at the
mall today! Everyone thought _I_ was the bad guy just because I was the one holding the bazooka over my shoulder and aiming
at him while he pretended to cry like a baby! "
" Chi-chan made little Veggie CRY! " Goku gasped, then paused, " Waitaminute, what were you doing with a bazooka in
the mall? " he blinked, confused.
" TRYING TO DEFEND MYSELF!! " Chi-Chi snapped, " You won't believe it but Vegeta was unintentionally starting to set
up that horrible TERRIBLE future I saw when I used Mirai's time machine to travel there!!! " she nervously grabbed Goku by
the collar.
" You mean the one that happens 100 years from now when I am little Veggie's ~*princess*~? " the larger saiyajin said
w/big sparkily eyes.
Chi-Chi glared, " EXACTLY! " she screamed in his face. Goku rubbed his ears in pain.
" Oww. "
" Goku he was having the same exact rings made that future him had on when I met him! "
" So? " Goku shrugged.
" SO! THAT MEANS MY CHANCES OF SAVING YOU FROM THAT OUJI'S CLUTCHES HAVE JUST TIGHTENED!!! " she shouted.
" ...umm, is that a bad thing? " Goku scratched his head. Chi-Chi looked at him like he had gone insane.
" OF COURSE IT'S A BAD THING, GOKU! IT'S A VERY VERY _VERY_ BAD THING!!! " Chi-Chi screamed, " THE NEXT THING YOU
KNOW HE'LL BE TEACHING YOU HIS LANGUAGE AND DRESSING YOU UP IN THOSE CREEPY OUJO CLOTHES AND DRINKING OUT OF THE SAME YOGURT
CUP AS YOU-- "
" --I gotcha a present. " Goku smiled.
" ... " Chi-Chi blanked out, then grinned, " OH MY GO-CHAN!! IT'S THAT NECKLACE I PUT THE SIGN UP NEXT TOO--I mean,
that I told you I wanted so very much! Isn't it! "
" Mayyyybe? " Goku giggled, patting a smaller shopping bag.
" GO-CHAN I LOVE YOU!! " Chi-Chi kissed him, " CAN I SEE IT? "
" Is it Christmas? " Goku said teasingly.
" For me it is... " she said in a sing-song voice
" For me it isn't... " Goku countered, humming also. He grinned. Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " Chi-chan's gotta wait for
her gift just like everyone else! "
Chi-Chi grumbled to herself and kicked one of the shopping bags, causing a pair of white and yellow mittens to roll
out. She blinked, " Who's are these for? " she picked them up. The mittens were too big for her and way too small for Goku.
" Oh, they're for Veggie! " he chirped.
Chi-Chi looked the mittens over, " Normal gift...a little TOO cuddily looking...but nothing too weird about it.
Oh-kay Goku, you are allowed to give these to the Ouji. " she smiled, handing them back to him.
Goku sweatdropped, " I have to ask for PERMISSION to give Christmas presents??? "
" To that evil little creature of darkness ya do. " Chi-Chi said flatly, then picked up a white t-shirt out of the
bag and sweatdropped, " "Veggie". " she read the shirt, " Didn't you just get the Ouji something! " Chi-Chi said, annoyed.
" Well, yeah, but Veggie gave me his credit card to go shopping for him so I could pick out what I really thought
he'd like without having to worry about the price. " Goku said happily, then frowned, " That's why I haven't been able to get
you that much stuff. I don't think Veggie'd like it if I used his credit card to buy presents for EVERYBODY. "
Chi-Chi stared at the white t-shirt. The word Veggie written in green letters with a chubby little carrot as the "i",
" A carrot...how very ironic. " she sweatdropped.
" What's so ironic about a carrot? " Goku cocked his head.
" ... " Chi-Chi sighed, " Nevermind Goku. So? " she said as she placed the shirt in Goku's arms also, " Any more
'surprises' for the Ouji you care to share with me? "
" Umm, well, " Goku said nervously; afraid she wouldn't let him give Vegeta the rest of the presents. Chi-Chi pulled
out a carton from another bag, eyeballing it with confusion.
" EGG NOG??? You bought him...EGG NOG? "
" It was on Veggie's Christmas list! " Goku protested, " Little Veggie's list is so long! AND it was the only thing
on it that didn't involve me in an embarassing situation or in a creepy costume. " he added.
" Hmm? " Chi-Chi held the carton of egg-nog up, then gawked at a little label on it, " GOKU! This has RUM in it! "
" That's how Veggie likes it, Chi-chan. " Goku explained, " And he IS definately overage enough to drink it. "
" Ugh, Goku, we REALLY don't need any drunk Oujis at the Christmas party. " Chi-Chi grimaced.
Goku sniffled, tears welling up in his eyes.
" OHhhhh, ALRIGHT! You can give him this too. Just as long as we both get out of there before he starts drinking it
and singing oldies over Bulma's P.A. system. " Chi-Chi nodded.
" How would you know how little Veggie acts when he's had one too many? " Goku cocked an eyebrow. She stared at him,
baffled.
" I don't! I'm just assuming! He could just instantly pass out for all we know! But I'm sure as not going to stick
around to find out! "
" But I wanna find out. " Goku said, curious.
" You really wanna know--ask Bulma. " Chi-Chi said bluntly, " Now what's in this bag? " she held up the JCPenney's
one.
" Veggie-naptime stuff! " Goku chirped.
Chi-Chi looked at him incrediously, " You got him EVEN MORE stuff!! "
" ...well it was a big credit card. " he shrugged, " I had the money to get Veggie more stuff. "
Chi-Chi sighed and pulled out a package. She sweatdropped, " Bedsheets??? " she gawked in shock.
" Yeah! I sat down on one of the sample beds they had in the store cuz I was really tired and the sheets felt so good
I thought; you know I bet little Veggie would like these; he must get awful cold on these winter nights. " Goku smiled.
" Hmm. " Chi-Chi inspected the package, then ripped it open to reveal the red sheets.
" HEY! WHAT'RE YOU DOING! CHI-CHI!! " Goku yelped, " I HAVE TO WRAP THOSE UP! "
" You're not wrapping anything up until I know what it i--HOLY CHEESECAKE!! " she cried out as she rubbed the sheets
between her fingers, " THESE ARE SATIN!! "
" You mean sat on? " Goku said, confused.
Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " NOT "SAT IN"! SATIN! AND THIS ONE IS STAYING HERE! "
" What??? "
" I'M NOT LETTING YOU GIVE THIS TO THE OUJI, GOKU! WHAT'LL HE THINK?! "
The larger saiyajin paused, then grinned, " Veggie will think "Thank you Kakarrotto, I can now go to sleep without
freezing my little body to death upstairs in my cold cold room.". " he said thoughtfully.
Chi-Chi stared at him, " Goku you don't have a single evil thought in your head do you. " she said in disbelief.
" Nope! I'm a good little boy and Santa knows it! " he gave her a thumbs-up.
" Unfortunately, Go-chan, Santa also knows that our little Ouji "friend"; and I use that term loosely; has many MANY
evil thoughts parading about his noggin. " Chi-Chi nodded, " Bedsheets! HONESTLY! Such good intentions, yet such an
embarassing aftermath. " she shook her head, " Goku, bedsheets like THESE are something you would give ME, not the, OUJI. "
she cringed at the word.
" ... " Goku blinked, then grinned slyly, " OHHHHHH, I get it. Chi-chan is cold at night so she wants the bedsheets
for herself. Tsk tsk Chi-chan. " he giggled, then perked up, " I can go buy you some if you really want some that bad! "
Chi-Chi walked up to Goku and hugged him, " My poor, sweet, mixed-up baby. " she patted his back. Goku smiled. She
let go of him, " NO RED SATIN SHEETS FOR THE OUJI YOU HERE ME!!!! " Chi-Chi screamed in Goku's face. Goku whinced as his ears
felt like they were bleading from the extreme loudness of her voice.
" Oww.. " he covered his ears with his hands, " That'll hurt for a while... " Goku pouted, then looked at her
curiously, " I guess this means I can't give little Veggie his robe either, huh? "
" YOU GOT HIM A _ROBE_!!!! " Chi-Chi nearly had a heart-attack.
" Yeah I don't think that'll be getting to Veggie's house either. " Goku said to himself, sweatdropping.
" GIVE ME THOSE! " Chi-Chi grabbed Goku's remaining shopping bags, " I can't believe this! WHY ON EARTH DID YOU GET
THE OUJI A ROBE!!! "
" Because it matched his sheets. " Goku said innocently, then shrugged.
Chi-Chi groaned and did her best not to fall over then and there, " "because it matched his sheets", oh good God! "
she spat out, then found the remaining present and pulled it out to reveal another familiar object. She held the robe up
infront of her, her hands shaking and her eyelid in a nervous twitch.
:::" OH KAH-KEE, I HAVE ARRIVED FOR YOU MY PRINCESS! " Vegeta appeared at the top of the stairs in a sing-song voice.
" V-SAMA! " Goku squealed w/big sparkily eyes.
" BLEH. " Chi-Chi almost gagged.
" Like the new outfit, Kakay? " Vegeta had on a deep red robe which was about 2 sizes too big for him. The sleeves
looked enormous, even for the ouji's muscles; and covered up to most of his hands. A familiar blue sash sat tied around his
waist. Chi-Chi recognized it immediately.
" THAT'S ONE OF GOKU'S OLD GI SASHES! " she pointed to it, gawking. Vegeta only ignored her and began to proudly
decend the stairs, " You told me this one was your favorite on me so I thought I'd wear it just for you. ":::
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! " Chi-Chi shrieked
in terror, dropping it to the floor, " WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME!!! "
" What is Chi-chan talking about? " Goku cocked his head, then picked up the robe and folded it.
" THAT'S FUTURE OUJI'S ROBE!!!! " Chi-Chi screamed, horrified as she backed up, pointing at it.
" Future Veggie's??? " Goku looked at her, confused, " But how can it be Future Veggie's if I just bought it just
now? PRESENT Veggie doesn't even know about it! " he unfolded it and held it out infront of him.
" SEE! SEE! THAT _IS_ THE SAME ROBE FROM THE FUTURE! IT'S THE SAME COLOR AND IT'S WAY TOO BIG FOR THE OUJI JUST LIKE
THE FUTURE ONE!!! " Chi-Chi collapsed to the floor on her behind, still pointing and shaking.
" Oh, yeah I guess it is a little big for little Veggie; but it was the only one in the same color as the sheets. I
didn't like the other colors as much. " Goku explained, then hugged the robe, " This one's my *FAVORITE*!! " he cuddled the
warm-n-fuzzy robe closer to his cheek.
" WILL YOU _STOP THAT_!!! " Chi-Chi snapped, her mind ready to snap along with it, " I CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN!!
OHHHHH! WHAT AM I GONNA DO! WHAT AM I GONNA _DO_!!!! " she started to nervously pace back and forth, " I know! I'll burn
them! I'll burn the robe and the sheets in the fireplace! Yes, that's it! The Ouji can't get them if they don't exist! Of
course. " Chi-Chi laughed, slightly paranoid.
" Uhh, Chi-Chi we don't have a fireplace. " Goku said, looking at her cautiously.
" ...oh. Right. " Chi-Chi frowned, then folded her arms, " Well in that case I'm going to confiscate them until I can
find a way to get rid of them and save your future! "
" NO NO!!! " Goku cried, " I put a lot of love into all the presents I bought my little Veggie! I can't just hand
them over to you like that! You'll destory them! And besides you're not the boss of me! "
" OH, and I suppose the OUJI is, eh? " she folded her arms.
" NO! Veggie isn't either!...wait...is he? " Goku blinked, confused.
" OF COURSE NOT NOW GIVE ME THE PRESENTS!!! " Chi-Chi yelled.
" Nuh-uh! I'm confiscating my OWN presents up to my OWN room, thank you! " Goku snorted, then gathered his presents
and stomped up the stairs to his room and closing the door behind it. Chi-Chi stared up at the door to Goku's room for a
moment, worried. Goku stuck his head out into the hallway, smiled at her, and blew a raspberry. Chi-Chi sweatdropped as she
watched the door slam shut a second time.
" Hoo boy... "
" Jingle bells, Onna smells, got fired from her job. At least I hope I think she did, her boss thinks she's a slob. "
Vegeta sang to himself as he contently made his way up the driveway to the front door of Capsule Corp. It was now beginning
to snow lightly and there was about an inch of the white stuff on the lawn. He opened the front door to see two grinning
carolers standing in the doorway.
" WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS, WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS, WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND A HAPPY NEW-- "
" *SLAM!* " Vegeta slammed the door in their faces, " LEAVE MY HOUSE ALONE! Bakayaro carolers. " he muttered,
stomping away. It wasn't until Vegeta reached the end of the driveway when he realized something very odd. Vegeta
sweatdropped and ran back up to the door, " YOU LET ME IN RIGHT NOW YOU, YOU, WHOEVER YOU ARE THAT BROKE INTO MY HOUSE!! " he
pounded on the door, only to have it opened by Vejitto.
" Hi Mommy! " Vejitto said cheerfully, " Didja miss me? "
" ... " Vegeta blinked, " ...Vejitto why were you singing Christmas carols on the wrong side of the door? "
" I dunno. " he grinned, shrugging.
" Been pal-ing around with Kakarrotto earlier today, right. " Vegeta said flatly.
" YOU BET! " the taller saiyajin said happily.
" Ahh, I figured. Too much exposure to Kakarrotto instigates your own kaka-genes to become more dominantly featured
than my own. " the ouji sighed, stepping inside and putting his shopping bags down. He closed the door.
" Anything for me? " the fusion asked.
" Hm? Oh I've already bought you a gift. " Vegeta said. Vejitto opened his mouth only to have Vegeta interupt, " Of
course I'm not telling you where it is because you'll go and ruin the surprise before Christmas even gets here. "
" ... " Vejitto frowned, " Ohhh... "
" You're here early. " Vegeta commented.
" OH! Yeah I get to stay for the whole Christmas break AND New Years! Isn't that great! " Vejitto said, " I've also
gotten you and Toussan the BEST PRESENT EVER! AND you've both given me a present already also! "
" We have? When? " Vegeta blinked.
Vejitto pointed to a similar-looking figure on the couch behind him, " This is Gogeta! My little brother! "
Vegeta's jaw fell to the floor, " YOUR _WHAT_?! "
" His brother! " Gogeta repeated, waving.
" But--but HOW? I mean--uhhh--I DIDN'T DO ANY MORE FUSING WITH KAKARROTTO IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE INSINUATING SO I
DON'T KNOW HOW-- " he screamed, flustered.
" He's from an alternate timeline. Like Mirai Trunks. " Vejitto explained.
" ...oh. " Vegeta said, blushing with embarassment, " Heh-heh-heh. I thought--umm--nevermind. " he said with a cheesy
grin, " What's he doing here? "
" Singing Christmas carols with me. " Vejitto replied.
Vegeta sweatdropped, " NO, I mean, how did he get here. WHY is he here? You know, the important stuff! "
" Ahh, the important stuff. " Gogeta nodded, trying not the burst into laughter. He sat up, " I got here by using
Mirai Trunks's time machine, I'm here because I was trying to get away from Onna before she could kill me and so I hopped in
the machine to hide. She smacked the machine really hard with her mallet and I somehow ended up in your timeline's h.f.i.l.
Vejitto-kun brought me here from there, seeing as he was just leaving anyway. " Gogeta explained.
" You were trying to ESCAPE from Onna?! " Vegeta said, " What was SHE so mad about! Doesn't the fusion dance only
last 30 minutes! "
" Not if you don't forget to take off your portara earrings before-hand. " the fusion said, slightly embarassed. He
pulled the earrings out of his pockets.
Vegeta's eyes bugged out of his head, " YOU'RE A PERMANENT FUSION TOO?! "
Gogeta nodded, " I completely forgot about the earrings Veggie. " Goku's voice came out. The ouji's eyes would've
completely flung out of his sockets and onto the living room floor if they weren't held in so tightly.
" KAKARROTTO!? "
" Heh-heh, hi? " he squeaked out.
Vegeta pointed at Vejitto, " WHAT IS KAKARROTTO DOING INSIDE THERE!!! "
" That's not OUR Kakarrotto. That's the Kakarrotto from Gogeta's timeline. Which is somewhere around May or June. "
Vejitto thought outloud to himself, " He's got the same kinda syndrome I had before I de-fused inside Buu and freed your
bodies, then got my body back after we were all wished back near the end of the Buu fight. "
" So what your saying is he has his own personality but his body ALSO is home to his timeline's Kakarrotto and I? "
Vegeta cocked his head, surprised.
" Yeah, pretty much. " Vejitto laughed.
" I'm surprised he's still sane. " Vegeta muttered.
" Well from where Goggie came from he's, err, they've only been in this state for about 2 days. I'm almost 7 months
old! If I still had to deal with you-n-Daddy in my head by now I would've died multiple times! " Vejitto exclaimed, then
sweatdropped to see Vegeta glared at him, insulted, " Umm, heh-heh, you understand. "
" Yes, I suppose. " Vegeta grumbled, then walked up to Gogeta, " So? Where exactly does YOUR timeline scew off in
this odd direction? "
" Umm, I kinda convinced you to keep your portara and then after I did my little heeheehee song I convinced you to be
my fusion partner. " Gogeta's now more Goku-ish expression grinned. Light blush marks on his cheeks.
" I crushed the portara and snubbed you after your freakishly cute "heeheehee" song. " Vegeta nodded, giving his
version of the story, " Wait...how did YOU convince ME to "fusion dance" with you anyway! " he demanded.
" Mistletoe. " the ouji's voice came out of Gogeta this time, flatly.
" Mistlet---oh... " Vegeta squeaked out, his face turning bright red, " Really? How...uhh...very interesting.. " he
said uneasily.
" So that's what I look like when I 'glow'. " Gogeta blinked. He sighed, Vegeta still in control, " God, I miss my
body! " the saiyajin groaned.
" I miss mine too. " Goku's sniffled.
" WELL IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT ANYWAY MR. LET'S-GIVE-VEGGIE-A-BIG-WET-KAKA-DROOL-ENTRENCHED-SMOOCH-AND-SEE-IF-HE-CHANGES-
-HIS-MIND-ABOUT-BEING-MY-FUSION-DANCE-PARTNER!!! " Vegeta screamed at themself. He glanced over at the other Vegeta; the one
who still had his original body; and poked him on the shoulder, " Hey. "
" Uhh...uhhhhhHHhh... " the little ouji was frozen as various made-up images floated through his mind, " ...what was
Kakarrotto THINKING!! "
" I can tell you. " Gogeta's voice said.
" SHUDDUP! " Vegeta's snapped, " Listen, " he bent down to the other him, " you need to dispose of the portaras RIGHT
AWAY! Or at least avoid any further fusion dances with Kakarrotto. "
" Umm, oh-kay. " Vegeta said, confused.
" Yeah. And Chi-Chi'll try to kill you. " Goku's voice said sadly. Gogeta's eyes watering.
" Onna's ALWAYS trying to kill me. " Vegeta sighed.
" NO! I mean, she, Veggie.....Veggie, Chi-Chi wanted to kill Gogeta, even though I was inside him too. " his eyes
began to water, " SHE WAS GONNA KILL ALL THREE OF US JUST SO SHE COULD BRING BACK ONLY ME! AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S EVEN
POSSIBLE!!! "
Vegeta's eyes widened, " Onna wanted to kill you just because you were fused with ME? "
Gogeta nodded solumnly, then said in his own voice, " The phrase, "HOW DARE YOU EXIST!" comes to mind. "
The ouji's shoulders slumped to his sides, " Onna would kill me even if Kakarrotto and I were sharing the same body?
Kakarrotto! Did she KNOW for sure you were in the body too? "
" Yes little Veggie. I told her. That's what caused her to start trying to kill me! " Goku's voice choked out, " It
was so horrible. Chi-chan hates you even more than she loves me!! " he started sobbing. Vegeta glanced over at Vejitto, who
was also taking the other fusion's story all in. Vegeta patted Gogeta on the back.
" It's alright, Kaka-chan. I TOLD you the Onna's evil, but gullible little Kakays just don't listen to me. " Vegeta
bragged.
" And THAT'S why I understand now, Veggie! I want to help you! " the larger saiyajin's voice said determinedly.
" You mean, you want to help me mentally destroy Onna to a near hospitalized psycho-ward? " Vegeta said curiously.
" YEAH! " Gogeta pumped his fist in the air.
Vegeta grinned victoriously, " Well then, let's go show Onna some REAL holiday spirit! Follow ME! Sons... " he said
as he marched up to his room.
Vejitto giggled and followed him, " I always enjoy this part. "
" Heh-heh-heh. " Gogeta chuckled in his own voice, behind Vejitto, " This is gonna be the best Christmas EVER! "

END OF PART TWO
Chuquita: (grins) And so ends part 2! Hyperbole asked in the reviews if I could post the address to the other two stories I
mentioned. So, here they are!
A Very Veggie Christmas -Slimshady
http://fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1090757
A Quick Trip into Chuquita Land -Maria Cline
http://fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1123367
Chuquita: Maria's was just a one-shot fic but Slimshady's has more than one chapter. I hope she adds part 2 to her story
soon. (sighs) I honestly can't figure out what Veggie's plan having to do with the snow is. (nods) And I wanna find out.
Vegeta: (yawns and opens his eyes)
Goku: (happily) Speaking of Veggies, he's ALIVE!
Vegeta: (sits up in his chair to see he has a blanket in place of his shirt) (woozy) What happened?? (glances over at Goku,
who waves at him) (narrows his eyes) Now I remember....YOU WERE GOING TO KEEP MY BRAIN TRAPPED IN IDIOT-LAND FOR THE REST OF
MY LIFE, WEREN'T YOU, KAKARROTTO!!!
Goku: (looking around nervously) Uhh...uhhh... (happily) Veggie-I'm-so-glad-you're-safe! [grabs Veggie and hugs him tightly]
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) Heh-heh-hehhhhh...... (pauses and pushes himself out of the hug) DON'T CHANGE THE TOPIC! YOU
WERE PLOTTING TO MAKE ME INTO SOME BRAIN-DEAD HOUSEHOLD PET! (fake sniffle) How COULD you Kakay!
Goku: (smiles innocently) It just seemed so easy.
Vegeta: ... (blinks)
Goku: (cheesy grin)
Vegeta: (flatly) Underestimating Kakarrotto. One of the many repeated lessons I learn on a daily basis.
Chuquita: You're lucky that sweater tore on the tree, (grins) I don't think your brain would've survived with an I.Q. as low
as that sweater made yours!
Vegeta: (glares at her) Ha ha ha, VERRRY funny Chu. (glares even angrier at Son) AND _YOU_, KAKARROTTO--
Goku: (gulps; whimpers)
Vegeta: (smirks) --I didn't know you HAD an evil gene in you! (smiles) I'm VERY impressed.
Goku: (laughs nervously) I must have picked it up from me-n-little-Veggie's portara fusion.
Vegeta: (nods) Hai...BUT THAT DOESN'T STILL MEAN I'M NOT MAD AT YOU FOR SHUTTING DOWN HALF MY BRAIN CELLS!!!
Goku: (eyes wide; hair looking wind-blown from Veggie's loud scream) (squeaks out) Yes Veggie.
Chuquita: (to Veggie) I finally saw the dubbed version of your "number 1" episode!
Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) Really?
Goku: "Vegeta's hat's off to Goku (that's ME); you're number 1!" [holds up his hand which now has one of those big green foam
hands ontop of it with the pointer finger up and a number 1 on it] HEEE~~~
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Where did you get that?
Goku: I dunno? (grins)
Vegeta: (larger sweatdrops)
Chuquita: The dubbed episode is called "Vegeta's Respect"
Goku: (cues up oldies music) (singing) R-E-S-P E-C-T! TELL YOU WHAT IT MEANS TO ME--YIP! [Veggie slaps his hand over Son's
mouth and sends a ki blast at the cd player; frying it] (pouts) Awww...Veggie never let me have any fun!
Vegeta: Not when its at MY expense you won't.
Chuquita: While I still liked the sub dialogue better, dub Veggie can really rip your heart out when he wants to.
Goku: [pulls up his shirt and whips out a big candy heart; starts eating it]
Vegeta: (to Son) WHAT has gotten into you today.
Goku: (happily) The Christmas spirit little Veggie!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) I meant emotionally. Dub Veggie can make his voice sound really emotional depending on the mood.
Goku: Aww, does little Veggie have something he wants to *share* with us? [pats Veggie's shoulder]
Vegeta: (sending death-glares in Son's direction)
Goku: (whispers to Chu) If I didn't know better I'd say he's still mad at me.
Chuquita: (sarcasm) Whatever gave you THAT idea.
Vegeta: (sticks his tongue out at them)
Chuquita: I think I found these full eps at pbxanime or something that sounds like it. (nods, then smiles) I was finally able
to pick up where I left off downloading the Buu eps that haven't aired here yet!
Vegeta: *cough* That's-cheating *cough*
Chuquita: (narrows her eyes at him; turns back to the audiance) So far I've gotten the english versions of Veggie's Respect;
another one I can't remember the sub title to, "True Saiyans Fight Alone", umm the other 3 tail-end Buu fight subs I missed
back at Dragonball Arena (283, 284, & 285).
Goku: AND we got to see Veggie do a classic anime Bulma-esque watch-my-head-grow-10-times-its-size-as-I-yell-at-you-cuz-I'm-
really-really-mad!
Chuquita: (grinning) I have a screenshot of this one if anyone wants to see it. Son's got on the most delighted expression
even though Veggie's--
Goku: --really-really-mad!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Of course...
Chuquita: This is in the "True Saiyans Fight Alone" episode.
Goku: You know they should probably call it, "Veggie & Goku are Afraid to end up Permanently Fused again so they're Taking
turns Fighting Buu".
Vegeta: (smirks) OR we could call it "Kakay disses Onna and Accepts his True Saiyajin-ness"
Chuquita: Yah, the dub cut out the whole "Chi-Chi isn't that hot..." line of Son-kun's in favor of him saying how much
prettier Bulma is instead.
Goku: She is.
Vegeta: (to Son) (grinning; holding up a pen & sticky-note) Can I quote you on that?
Goku: (sweatdrops)
Chuquita: Well, I don't think I'll have Part 3 done for Christmas; it's less than a week away; so we'd like to wish you a
Merry early Christmas right now!
Everyone: MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!
Goku: (toots little horn) And a HAPPY NEW YEAR! [throws confetti in the air]
Vegeta: (shivers and grabs his blanket) I gotta find myself a shirt...

Quote of the Week: -from "Spongebob Squarepants" 'Snowball Effect'
Squidward: [sigh] Look, you two are giving up too easily. Now Patrick, pretend I'm Spongebob.
Patrick: Than who am I?
Squidward: You're Patrick.
Spongebob: Can I be Mr. Krabs?
Squidward: No...wait, why?
Spongebob: He's a good leader.
Squidward: Would you butt out?
Patrick: Hey, you can't talk to Mr. Krabs like that, Squidward!
Squidward: I'm Spongebob, you're Patrick. [he makes a snowball and hits Patrick with it] Now, what are you going to do?
[Patrick wipes the snow off his face to form another snowball and he throws it at Squidward.] Patrick, why didn't you hit
Spongebob?
Patrick: You said you were Spongebob, Spongebob.
Spongebob: [imitating Krabs...horribly] Argh, it's true, Mr. Squidward. Now get back to work! [laughs]
Squidward: All right, I see where this is going. Let's just say for all intensive purposes that I, Squidward, am now part of
this war. Now-
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: --It's time to start part 2!
Vegeta: (wearing a little green santa suit over his sweater similar to Son's red one; neither has a santa-beard) YAY!
Chuquita: (to Son) (sweatdrops) NOW what're you doing to him?!
Goku: (cheerfully) Veggie's gonna be my "little helper" and "help" me decorate the Christmas tree! [points to a bare tree to
their right] It'll be so much fun!
Vegeta: (grins) I like fun!
Goku: (hugs Veggie) And I LOVE little Veggie!
Vegeta: (glows bright red & lets out a squeal) YAAA!!
Chuquita: You sure he's gonna be alright once you take that 'magical' sweater off him?
Goku: (confused) ...who said I was taking it off him? [carries Veggie over towards the tree]
Chuquita: [shrugs & follows them] Well you have to 'free' him sometime. I mean, do you really want Veggie like THIS for the
rest of your lives? A braindead, cheery idiot?
Goku: ... [looks down at Veggie who grins up at him with a candy cane in his mouth & a little trail of drool hanging out the
edge of his mouth]
Vegeta: EEEE~~~~
Goku: YES! [hugs Veggie tighter]
Chuquita: (groans in defeat)
Goku: (musing) Oh but Chu-sama he's so sweet-n-little-n-huggable-n-dum! I could watch over little Veggie and teach him all
sorts of amazing stuff about the world! Like how they make fudgesicles and jams and how to play "let's pretend!"
Vegeta: [happily chomps down on Goku's tail]
Goku: YIPE!! (cringes in deep pain) How to....bite my tail...
[Chu shakes her head at him]
Goku: (squeaks out as he attempts to remove Veggie's jaws from his tail) Oh-kay...I'll take it off...but not till after we
decorate the tree together..right little Veggie? [pries him off]
Vegeta: [points at Goku's tail] COOKIE!
Goku: NO! (exasperated) NOT "cookie", tail! Kakarrotto's TAIL. [wiggles his tail in the air]
Vegeta: YAY! [reaches out, trying to grab it]
Goku: Little Veggie NO!
Vegeta: (frowns)
Goku: Veggie?
Vegeta: (tears well up in Veggie's eyes) (sniffles) hhip, hhip, hhip, *sniffle*, hhip, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAHAHAHAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! "
Goku: [sniffles and grabs Veggie tightly against him] Little Veggie do not cry I am sorry I yelled at you when I shouldn't
have! I love you little Veggie!
Vegeta: (looks up, still disheartened)
Goku: Oh, look what I have for you! [pulls out a red ball-shaped Christmas ornament and hands it to Veggie] Here you go, it's
a Christmas ornament.
Vegeta: [looks at the ornament, confused]
Goku: (smiles; still holding Veggie) We all know what we do with Christmas ornaments, don't we little Veggie?
Vegeta: (smiles and nods, then hands the ornament on one of Goku's hair spikes)
Goku: (sweatdrops) That's right....we, hang them on the..tree. [takes the ornament out of his hair and places it on the tree.
Heh-heh, there we go, much better. [sets Veggie down] Now since little Veggie is so little why don't you try hanging your
ornaments closer to the ground where you won't get hurt. [freezes to see Veggie has now climbed up half the tree] (shrieks)
AHH!! MY LITTLE VEGGIE!!!
Vegeta: (happily) HEL-LO!!
Goku: (worried) Veggie--Veggie I want you to climb down slowly oh-kay. Nice and easy. No reason to be so--AHH!! VEGGIE NO!!
Vegeta: [is now trying to hang his ornament on the tip of the tree]
Chuquita: (eating popcorn) Do you want to save him or should I?
Goku: I'll do it, thanks--hey is that buttered? [points to popcorn]
Chuquita: Umm, yeah.
Goku: [grabs a handful and stuffs it in his mouth] (swallows) Mmm, good! (back to Veggie) DON'T WORRY LITTLE VEGGIE! KAKAY'S
COMIN TO SAVE YOU!
Vegeta: Huh? (blinks, then leans over only to have the branch he's on rip his santa jacket and orange sweater off; Veggie
falls down on his butt, shirtless) (groans woozily) Ohhhhh, (faints)
Goku: (gasps) VEGGIE!!! [picks Veggie up] Umm, uhh, (nervously checks Veggie's forehead for temperature) Chu-sama maybe we
should put up the ornaments with Veggie AFTER the story. (gulps at Veggie) (squeaks) He doesn't look too healthy right now.
Chuquita: Maybe it's cuz he just lost two tops and it's freezing in here even though we have the heater on...OR it could be
the fact that that was a 12 foot drop and he landed on his backside. (shivers) Probably both.
Goku: (worried) We should do something for little Veggie.
Chuquita: Uh, I'll get him a blanket, you set him down somewhere comfortable and introduce Part 2. Bye! [runs off in search
of a blanket for Veggie]
Goku: [walks over to his seat and sits down with Veggie on his lap and unconsious] Ohhhh, [pats Veggie's belly] I hope you're
oh-kay Veggie. (sniffles) I'm sorry for making you wanna climb that high! [turns to audiance] (happily) And now for Part 2 of
our little fusion Christmas special. (sniffles again) Everybody hope Veggie gets better soon!
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!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" You--you mean YOU'RE me-n-Veggie's fusion baby TOO? " Goku gawked, sitting up.
" Yep! Pretty much. " Gogeta smiled.
Goku stood up, staring at him wide-eyed, " That, is so.....COOL!!! "
Gogeta cocked his head and grinned Son-style.
" I can't believe it I have another fusion baby and I who I don't even remember having! " Goku cheered, doing a
little victory dance, " Where did you come from!--I mean, aside from the obvious. "
" Gogeta is from a different timeline, Daddy. " Vejitto piped up, " From where he came from it's only been 2 days
since Buu was defeated. "
" Wow, " Goku mused, then paused, " why don't I remember him then? "
" In my timeline you convince MY Daddy, Vegeta, to perform the fusion dance with you while inside Buu. " Gogeta
explained.
" OH! I remember that! My lil "Heeheehee, heeheeheehee" song! " Goku grinned, then frowned, " Veggie was still a
little TOO shaken up from the last fusion though to agree to dance with me. " he sighed, then cocked an eyebrow, " How DID
I convince Veggie to dance with me in YOUR timeline? "
Gogeta's face turned a mix of bright red and pink, " Uhhh a couple promises and some Veggie-smooches. " he said
indirectly, avoiding eye-contact.
" OH, Chi-chan says I'm not allowed to smooch Veggie. She says I'll get an uncurable disease that will rob me of my
senses of smell and taste and I'll have to go the rest of my life without being able to know what I'm eating and then my
eyes will fall out and I'll go BLIND! " Goku gulped.
" That's not true, Chi-chan was lying. " the larger saiyajin's voice came from Gogeta's mouth, " I didn't lose my
eyeballs at all. "
" ... " Goku stared at him bizarrely, " This reminds me of one of those old "Twilight Zone" episodes. "
" Daddy you know how when I got killed my fusion earrings split you and Mommy off and when I came back it was only me
in my head? "
" Hai... " Goku said slowly, watching Gogeta with bewilderment.
" Well, in Goggie's timeline when you made him you shared Goggie's fused body with him and Mommy like you did with
me. Goggie's you and Mommy are, umm, still in his body with him. " Vejitto said uneasily.
Goku gasped, " YOU'RE KIDDING! " he turned to Gogeta, " TELL ME HE'S NOT KIDDING! "
" Sorry Kakarrotto he's not kidding. " Vegeta's voice came out, speaking flatly.
" ...wow, this is so BIZARRE. " Goku's eyes widened, " Little Veggie from the other timeline what's it like in
there with me-n-Goggie? " he asked curiously.
" Oh it's glorious, Kakarrotto. " the ouji sarcastically commented, rolling Gogeta's eyes. He sighed, " I haven't
exactly WON, but I haven't LOST either... " Vegeta trailed off.
" Your mind? " Vejitto suggested.
" NO NOT MY MIND BUT I WILL IF YOU DON'T STOP ASKING SUCH STUPID QUESTIONS! " he snapped, embarassed, then looked
around, " Whoa, so this is what it's like to be Kakarrotto's height, eh? " a grin covered Gogeta's face, " Incredible! " he
took a big whiff of the air, " It IS fresher up here! "
" Silly Veggie! " Goku chirped, " Or is it Goggie?...I'm not sure. " he scratched his head.
" SO! Kakarrotto what has happened to you and I in these past 6 months. " Vegeta asked, now feeling unusually
cheerful due to Gogeta's tall-ness.
" ... " Goku took a deep breath, " Veggie caught my kaka-germs, we went to the circus, Piccolo tried to take over
the world, Chi-Chi and I got married again, Veggie and I became evil super-villains, Veggie became an underwear fashion model
, we went on a cruise, Chi-chan met future us, Piccolo tried to take over the world again, Veggie wished us immortal and made
me his servant-maid but that got unwished by Dende, Chi-chan went temporarily blind, Veggie was temporarily King and now I'm
here talking to you about all that stuff that happened since June! " he said all in one breath.
Gogeta stared at him bug-eyed, " I'm starting to think my present state may be the better option. " Vegeta
sweatdropped.
" AHH! " Goku squealed suddenly, " And did I mention I'm Veggie's princess now! "
" WHA--T?! " Gogeta nearly choked as the other of his voices piped up, " OH WOW REALLY! " Goku's own voice squealed
suddenly.
" Uh-huh! " the larger saiyajin nodded, " Future Veggie dubbed future me his ~*princess*~ according to Chi-chan and
now I'm unofficially Veggie's ~*princess*~ myself! " Goku said happily.
" Just THINK! Little Veggie's ~*princess*~. " the Goku sharing Gogeta's body mused, " Do I get a-- "
" --pretty oujo crown? Eventually, " Goku replied, " ...I hope. "
" Hey lil Veggie, come 'ere. " the alternate timeline's version of the larger saiyajin mused as Gogeta closed his
eyes.
" NO! NO YOU DON'T! STAY AWAY FROM ME!!! YOU'RE NOT MY PRINCESS YOU'RE MY FUTURE SERVANT-MAID!! " Vegeta shouted,
Gogeta's face bright red. He yelped suddenly and sighed in a daze.
Vejitto cocked his head.
" Veggie-hugs. " Goku nodded.
Gogeta shook his head wildly as it's regular color returned. He looked up at at them and said in his own voice,
" Neither of you doesn't happen to know how to perform an exorcism, do you? "
Vejitto and Goku shook their heads no.
" Aw, poo. " Gogeta lightly kicked the ground, " I'm still getting the hang of this "keep your body from being taken
over by the other two people living inside it" thing. " he sighed.
" I'm sorry Goggie. " Goku patted him on the shoulder, " And I'm REALLY sorry I didn't buy you a Christmas present
yet. "
" How could you have, you didn't know I existed! " Gogeta folded his arms.
" Goggie has a point there. " Vejitto agreed.
" Now I have THREE people left to shop for, Veggie, Chi-chan, AND Goggie. " Goku counted his fingers and groaned,
" And I don't even know what Goggie likes! "
" Just buy something you think you would like that Daddy would like too. " Gogeta adviced him.
" How come you call Veggie "Daddy". I thought Veggie was "Mommy". " Goku asked.
" To ME, Veggie's "Mommy". " Vejitto boasted, " HIM I can't figure out. " he pointed to his brother, " I mean, I
dunno, I can't picture you as "Mommy". "
" I can. " Gogeta chimed in. Vejitto sent him a death glare and Gogeta blew a raspberry back at him.
Goku sweatdropped, " Maybe I should go look for Veggie, Chi-chan, and Goggie's presents on my own while you help
Goggie find something for me-n-Veggie. " Goku told Vejitto, " Besides, if I'm there with you it won't be a *SURPRIIIISE*! "
he grinned eagerly, " I'm gonna try this other store down by the escalators. " he explained.
" Alright Mommy, " Gogeta said, " But watch out for the sales-people as you leave, they're creepy. " he shivered.
" I know, " Goku grinned, " THAT'S why I teleported in here. "
" Hmm, now if I were my little Veggie, what would I want me as me to buy me as Veggie for Christmas. " Goku stated as
he stood in the middle of a JCPenney's.
:::"Goku you take those gloves off right now! " Chi-Chi snapped at the larger saiyajin as he reached for the backdoor
to their house.
" But I like my gloves Chi-chan, besides, you're the one who got 'um for me in the first place. " Goku mused, " You
picked them out for me and said "Oh Go-chan these would look so nice on you and they'll keep your hands warm when we spar
in the wintertime". "
" Yes, but that was BEFORE that evil little ouji bombarded his smelly EVIL self into our lives. " Chi-Chi pointed to
Goku's gloves, which were, ironically, the same white color and style as the smaller ones Vegeta almost-never took off, " I
will NOT have you walking around outside in anything that resembles ouji-wear. " she yanked off his beloved snow gloves and
tossed them over her shoulder, then perked up, " Besides, I have something even better! " Chi-Chi pulled out a pair of white
mittens.
" Ooooh, pretty! " Goku went to grab them only to have Chi-Chi pull them away.
" As you can see Go-chan, not only do they NOT resemble the Ouji's gloves, but since mittens keep all your fingers
together in the same pocket they also keep your hands warmer in general due to all your fingers sharing the heat. " she
plopped one on his hand, " See? " Chi-Chi smiled.
" Ahh, heehee. " Goku grinned, " It looks like a hand puppet! " he moved the 'puppet''s mouth, " "Hello!" ":::
" YEAH! Of course! Mittens! Little Veggie doesn't have any mittens to keep HIS little fingers all nice-n-toasty for
when it starts snowing. In fact I wonder if Veggie even has more than one pair of gloves. " Goku thought outloud, " To tell
the truth, I don't even think I've ever seen what Veggie's non-gloved hands LOOK like. " the large saiyajin gawked in
realization, " Wow. " he blinked, them smiled, " Mittens it is then! And maybe even a few other Veggie-gifts along the way! "
Goku looked upward and grinned, " Thank you Chi-chan!! "
" ACK! " Chi-Chi yelped, " I felt like somebody just accidentally stabbed me in the back. " she stuck her tongue out
as stood behind a counter in a jewelry store. In the display were various jewels including a diamond necklace with a little
paper pointing to it labeled "Son Goku I'm sure Chi-Chi would really love it if you were to buy her this necklace. Love,
Chi-Chi." " Boy am I glad I took this temporary job. " she said happily, " Not only will I earn enough money to buy some
decent gifts this year but I can sense Goku's ki around here so he's bound to pass buy and see the little hint I've dropped
him about the necklace. I can't wait! "
" Neither can I, Onna. " a familiar voice said from behind her. Chi-Chi instantly felt a ki that seemed, to her, to
be pure evil.
" Oh no. " she groaned, turning around to see Vegeta.
" On-na. " he countered, smirking.
" What are you DOING here, Ouji. " Chi-Chi gritted her teeth.
" Oh, you know, just doing some BARGAIN shopping before the big holiday. Seeing as I'm filthy rich and all. " Vegeta
boasted.
" YOU'RE not rich, Ouji. Bulma is. " Chi-Chi glared at him.
" Whatever you say Onna. " Vegeta brushed it off, " But then again I'M not the one reduced to working behind a CASH
REGISTER. " he boasted.
" Just buy what you want, and LEAVE. " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes.
" I'm looking for some rings that I can implant gems in. " Vegeta smirked, " Something fancy, elaborate, and wildly
expensive. " he folded his arms.
" What kind of "gems" are you working with. " she gritted through her teeth. The ouji happily held up a pair of
earrings, each with a sparkily yellow orb at the tip of them. Chi-Chi yelped, " PORTARAS! "
" Me-n-Kakay's portaras. " Vegeta patted the earrings lovingly, " I was thinking of getting the portara gems
themselves transplanted from their earrings each into a different ring. Or possibly two necklaces, it all depends on what
mood I'm in and what type of necklaces and rings you have. " he watched entertainingly as Chi-Chi's blood began to boil.
" Have you shopped for BULMA yet? " Chi-Chi said, trying to stay calm, " Maybe you should take care of HER first. "
" Already did. " Vegeta grinned proudly, then snickered, " Boy did I get her a PRESENT. "
" Ugh, enough! " Chi-Chi grumbled, " Get out of this store RIGHT NOW or I will personally kick you out on my OWN! "
" On what charges? " he smirked.
" CHARGES?! "
" Well this isn't your house, Onna. It's a public area open to the public and consumers of this fine establishment. "
Vegeta said innocently, " Why you could get sued for kicking a potential customer out of this store JUST because you have a
deep dislike for him. "
" WHY YOU-- " Chi-Chi pulled out a bazooka from under her desk, loaded it and aimed it at Vegeta's face.
" And THIS could get you sent to jail for life! " Vegeta added with an unassuming little smile.
" You're the one who's gonna get his behind slapped in jail, Ouji. " Chi-Chi growled.
" Uh-huh....I understand. " Vegeta smirked, then raised his arms into the air and shrieked in a mocking absolute
terror, " AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! MURDER! MURDER!!! " he screamed, supposedly horrified. Chi-Chi froze as every nearby
shoppers' eyes locked onto her and Vegeta.
" MRS. SON! " a man's voice exclaimed from behind Chi-Chi in shock and anger. Chi-Chi cringed, then silently glared
at Vegeta, who momentarily grinned at her, then went back to looking frightened, " WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING! WHERE DID
YOU GET THAT WEAPON AND WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING MY CUSTOMERS!!! " the manager yelled at her.
" Uhh--- " Chi-Chi gulped as her brain went blank, " I, I can explain, really-- "
" --OH IT WAS HORRIBLE! " the little ouji wailed, interupting her. Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " All I did was ask this
lady what kinds of rings and necklaces they sold and she *sniffle* and she went CRAZY! She started saying she was gonna kill
me and that I was *sob* "EVIL!" and all I wanted to do is buy some jewelry for Kakay-chan and me. " he covered his face with
his hands and pretended to cry.
::OOH! EVIL LITTLE OUJI! He's making ME look like the bad guy!:: Chi-Chi thought to herself, catching Vegeta
snickering at her out of the corner of her eye, ::What a faker!::
" Oh you poor little thing. " a rather plump woman walked up to the ouji and patted him on the shoulder.
" *sniffle* Thank you, you're so *sniffle*, kind. " Vegeta choked back his fake tears.
The woman turned to Chi-Chi, " How dare you attack this innocent child! "
Vegeta fell over, " "CHILD?!" " he got up, an embarassed look on his face.
" Hey, aren't you Bulma Briefs's husband? " a young girl came over to Vegeta, " I saw you two in the newspaper a
little while ago! "
" Why yes, I AM. " Vegeta boasted, shaking her hand, " Vegeta Oujisama, glad to meet someone who's appreciative
enough NOT to instantly start firing bazooka missiles at me. "
" WAHHH!! YOU'RE BULMA BRIEFS'S HUSBAND!!! " the jewelry store manager yelped, then clasped his hands together, " Mr.
Oujisama I must apologize for my employee's behavior; I'm sure she had no idea who you were and we hope this little incident
doesn't damage Mrs. Briefs opinion of our humble jewelry store. " he bowed lightly.
Chi-Chi inwardly raged at the prince.
" Oh I'm sure I could forgive you. " Vegeta brushed him off, then smirked, " In fact I might even return to this
store of yours very soon. BUT FIRST I'd like to meet with my 'consultant' to see whether I would prefer to place these
beauties in a ring or necklace. It's a very tough decision you know. " he said, then paused when he sensed a burst from
Goku's disguised ki. Vegeta looked upward at the second floor of the mall and snickered, " Well, what do you know, I think I
see him now. " he grinned evilly as everyone else turned their heads upward. Vegeta quickly dashed to the side and teleported
away. Chi-Chi yelped as she saw the end of his disappearing act.
" AHH-HA!! HE'S GOING AFTER MY GO-CHAN!! " Chi-Chi gasped, " I'VE GOT TO STOP HIM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!! " she
geared up, ready to leap over the counter only to have everyone instantly send death-glares her way.
" Mrs. Son I don't think you're going anywhere if you wish to keep your job. " the manager said coldly, " Now get
back behind the counter, stop attacking my customers, and hand over the bazooka! "
Chi-Chi snorted and did so.
" Any OTHER weapons you have under there I'd like to see as well. " he folded his arms.
" Errr, " Chi-Chi grumbled as she pulled out several grinades and a small ouji-seeking missle, " HERE. "
The manager carried the items to the backroom of the store, " There. " he said as he set them down, " MUCH better. "
" Heeheehee, its so CUTE! " Goku said happily as he walked away from his latest purchase for the ouji, which
consisted of a white t-shirt with the word Veggie written in green letters on it. The "i" in the word was a carrot and the
dot on the "i" was the leafy green puff from the carrot which was hovering above it, " An actual t-shirt with Veggie's
nickname on it, what are the coincidences of me finding something like THAT! " Goku said, impressed with himself. He also had
a pair of puffy white and yellow mittens in the shopping bag which had the tip of its thumbs and hand yellow while the rest
of it was white; a perfect match to Vegeta's yellow-tipped white boots. The saiyajin had also bought a carton of rum egg-nog.
He looked down into the shopping bag as he placed the t-shirt back inside, " Well, at least I could promise ONE thing to
Veggie that was on that gigantic Christmas list of his. That's good, right? " he sat down on one of the sample beds in the
furniture section and sat his bag down on the floor. Goku sighed, " That must've been the longest line I've ever stood in! It
sure feels GREAT to sit down. " he stretched and placed his hands down on the sheets. Goku froze instantly, " ...wow. " his
eyes widened to 3x their normal size, " This has got to be the most comfortable pair of sheets I've ever touched. " Goku
slowly said in awe, then grinned, " I'M GONNA GET SOME FOR VEGGIE! " he squealed, jumping down. He whipped out the ouji's
credit card, " Plastic. The gift that keeps on giving so you can give to the one who gave you the gift that keeps on giving,
gifts! "
The large saiyajin walked over to a platform of piled up boxes of sheets and started to search for the warm red ones
he had been sitting on. He grinned as he spotted one reading "king" and pulled it out, " Haha! Veggie's in for a whole bunch
of surprises THIS Christmas. He doesn't even know about the egg-nog since I was mad about getting it before. " Goku held up
the package containing the sheets, " This is my LUCKY DAY! "
" Really? How come? " a deeper voice came from behind Goku and he sweatdropped. Goku glanced over his shoulder to see
the little ouji grinning up at him. Vegeta waved.
" Uhh--hi Veggie! " Goku whipped around and hid the package behind his back, " What're you doing here? "
" Oh, nothing really. Shopping for gifts for people who are very near and dear to my heart; same as you. " Vegeta
smirked, staring at the shopping bag, " So? Anything in there for your little buddy? " he wandered over to it.
" AHH! Veggie don't! " Goku grabbed the shopping bag with one arm and held the package under the other, " You'll ruin
all the surprises! "
" ALL? " Vegeta grinned, " You mean you bought me MORE than one thing? "
" Of course I bought my little Veggie more than one thing! I always buy all my friends at least 2 presents each. "
Goku smiled, then held up the ouji's credit card, " And since Veggie gave me his little Veggie-card I can buy Veggie even
more stuff! "
" Who're the bed-sheets for? " Vegeta asked, smirking.
" Uhh, I was just looking at 'um, you know. Nobody in particular. " Goku laughed nervously, putting his hand behind
his head. The smirk grew wider on the ouji's face.
" You're too kind, Kaka-chan. " Vegeta responded slyly, then asked, " Kakarrotto, when buying a piece of jewelry for
a close friend, would you choose a ring or a necklace? "
Goku thought for a moment, " A ring is what you use somebody when you get married, little Veggie; so I'd probably
choose a necklace. "
" ... " Vegeta blinked, confused, " You use rings for that? " he cocked his head.
Goku grinned with delight at the little ouji's confusion, " Veggie didn't know that? " he said happily, " Aww! That's
CUTE! Silly Veggie, when you get married on Earth you ALWAYS wear a ring! "
" Hn, Bulma and I didn't need any rings for our saiyajin mating ritual. " Vegeta folded his arms stubbornly, then
paused, " How come you and Onna don't wear any? "
" Well, I keep mine at home cuz I'd probably destroy it if I went out sparring while wearing it. " Goku sighed, " It
would melt right off my hand if I went ssj with it. " he nodded.
" What about Onna? " the ouji smirked.
Goku frowned, " Umm, I'm not really sure. I think--I think Chi-chan doesn't wear hers because, umm, she might lose it
when she's cooking or something. " he shrugged.
" Interesting. VERY interesting. " Vegeta rubbed his hands together maniacally.
" *hicket*? " the larger saiyajin blinked at him, baffled.
" I'll be taking my leave now, Kakarrotto. Thank you for your assistance. " Vegeta shook Goku's hand. The larger
saiyajin smiled and hugged the smaller one.
" Aww! You are welcome little Veggie! " Goku said happily, then grinned widely and held Vegeta up, " Look Veggie!
Mistletoe! " he pointed to the wreath the ouji still had on his head, " Come'ere my lil ~*Veggie-chan*~... " Vegeta yelped
as his face went bright red. He slid out of Goku's grasp and teleported away before he hit the ground, " Huh. " Goku blinked,
then folded his arms, " Well that's plain rude! I don't understand you Veggie! WHY would you purposely wear mistletoe on
your head when you don't even wanna be smooched! It makes no SENSE!....but that's why I like you! " he said cheerfully, then
picked up his shopping bag and headed for the cash register, " I wonder if Veggie'll like these bed-sheets?... "
" *sigh*. " Chi-Chi groaned as she sat behind the counter, " Stupid Ouji; made a FOOL of me. I could live the rest of
my life without EVER seeing his evil Ouji-face ever again! " she grumbled, then yelped suddenly as a figure teleported
infront of her, " AHH! " Chi-Chi jumped back.
" Heh-heh-hehhh~~~ " Vegeta stood there with a very big grin on his face.
" Where did I go wrong. Tell me, Dende. " Chi-Chi moaned, getting back on her chair, " What is it NOW, Ouji? Here to
humilate me again...and why are you SMILING like that? " she cocked an eyebrow.
" Onna I would like to see all types of rings this store sells that can have a large, beautiful portara gem fitted
inside them. " Vegeta said calmly.
" Hn. " Chi-Chi glared at Vegeta and took out a large case from the second shelf. She put it on the counter and
opened it to reveal dozens of jewel-less rings. Vegeta smiled at one and picked it up. The ring had fancy, elaborate designs
throughout the outside and a large enough hole to fit the portara. The inside of the golden ring was completely smooth as if
designed to be engraved.
" Yes, I think two of these would do just nicely. " Vegeta placed one on his finger, admiring it, " Don't you think,
Onna? " he smiled.
Chi-Chi froze in-place as her pupils shunk to half their size.
:::" Heh. " Vegeta held up his hand and purposely admired his ring, which caught Chi-Chi's attention.
" What's that? " she asked, narrowing her eyes at him.
" My portara. I had Dende restore it a long time ago and had a jeweler place it in this ring. " he said casually,
" Kakay wears his on his left hand. You know, the same way we did when we used them on our ears...for the fusion. "
" Cute, Ouji. Very cute. " Chi-Chi said with distaste.:::
" Onna? " Vegeta waved his hand infront of her face, " Onna you alright? "
" AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! " Chi-Chi screamed suddenly, " PUT IT BACK! PUT IT BACK! " she said frantically.
" What? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow, " Why? "
" FUTURE YOU--THE RINGS--JEWELER--YOUR "KAKA-OUJO"--MAKE IT STOP!!! " Chi-Chi shrieked, starting to shake with
nervousness.
" Onna I think you've really lost it this time. " Vegeta rolled his eyes, then smirked, " All the better, I'll gladly
arrange a room in the West City Asylum for you. It'll be such a fun drive there. "
" OU-JIII!! " Chi-Chi grabbed him by the collar.
" Now now now, what did your manager tell you earlier; wouldn't wanna get yourself FIRED over little 'ol me, would
you Onna? " Vegeta snickered.
" Ouji! " she snapped.
" Hmm? "
" Ouji, that is the ring future you was wearing when I first met him! If you give one of those to Goku you could set
off that whole "Princess Kakay" thing future you was babbling about!! " Chi-Chi exclaimed.
Vegeta's eyes temporarily widened with fear, " Uhh.... " he shook it off, " Nonsense! Kakarrotto knows his place; and
it's as my rightful servant-maid to the throne! " he said stubbornly.
" Fine, fine. Put your stupid portara in those two rings. But don't come crying to me when Go-chan shows up on your
doorstep in a wedding dress asking you where you want to go on the honeymoon. " Chi-Chi snorted. Vegeta's face turned a pale
green.
" What "wedding dress". You never said future me said anything about a "wedding dress". " Vegeta said nervously.
" He didn't! I just assumed that since he called future Goku his "princess" and that they both wore those rings
you're holding right now that... "
" LIAR! " Vegeta growled, " You had me worried for a minute there Onna. "
" I never DID get to find out if future you had 'marked' MY Go-chan. " she narrowed her eyes at him.
" I'm sure it was all a scam, Onna. They knew you were coming because they were Kakarrotto and I at one time so they
decided to pull at little prank. " Vegeta explained logically, " And since that is probably the source of that whole
ridiculous "Princess Kakay" theory I will defy that supposed destiny and purchase these rings for my portara anyway because
_I_ control my own future. One where Kakarrotto will see what a terrible witch you are and become my servant-maid and we will
both laugh at you through the little window to your asylum's cell. " Vegeta boasted.
" ...I don't care I'm still not letting you buy those rings. I'm NOT letting you win, Ouji. " Chi-Chi snarled.
" Very well then, " Vegeta smiled pleasantly, " AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! " he wailed at
the top of his lungs, causing the manager and several other employees to come running out to him, " You BAKA! " Vegeta
pointed at the manager, " I thought you said you wouldn't let this happen again! " he fake-sobbed.
" Wha--what happened Mr. Oujisama? " the manager asked him.
" I, I just wanted to have my gems inserted into these two rings but, *sniffle* but, she WOULDN'T LET ME AND SAID I
COULDN'T BUY THEM BECAUSE I'M "EVIL"!! *sob*!! I'm not "EVIL", am I? "
" Aw, " one of the other girls working there said sadly, patting Vegeta on the head, " Poor baby. "
" Yeah Onna, hear that, I'm a poor baby. " Vegeta turned to Chi-Chi, still fake-pouting.
" I'll kill you. " Chi-Chi said under her breath.
" Mr. Oujisama we'll gladly insert these gems inside the rings for you. " the manager said politely, then pointed at
Chi-Chi, " As for YOU! One more slip-up and you're FIRED! "
" Yeah Onna, "fired". " Vegeta snickered menacingly, then noticed the nervous look on Chi-Chi's face as she watched
the manager insert a portara into each gem-holder of the two rings. Vegeta blinked, " This's really got you spooked, huh
Onna? " he said, surprised.
Chi-Chi quickly nodded her head.
" Aw... " Vegeta trailed off, " GOOD! " he cackled. Chi-Chi glared at him, then went back to worrying about the
portaras.
" Alright Mr. Oujisama. It's finished. " the manager handed the rings over to Vegeta, " If you ever want them placed
back into the earrings just come back anytime you like. Preferably when the store's open. "
" Uh-huh. " Vegeta smirked, slipping one of the rings onto his right hand. Chi-Chi's already frantic stomach did
flip-flops and she felt like she was about to either faint or throw-up.
" How would you care to pay for that Mr. Oujisama? " the manager asked.
" Heh-heh. " Vegeta grinned and held up one of his credit cards.
" EXCELLENT choice, sir. " the manager swiped the card through, then handed it back to the prince along with a recipt
and a baggie and fancy-looking red velvet case to put the other ring in, " Thank you for choosing our store. "
Vegeta held his hand up to look at his ring just as Chi-Chi fell to the ground with a thud; fainted, " You're
welcome, in fact, " he said as he walked off, " I think I might be coming back here again VERY SOON. "
Heeheehee, I LOVE Christmas-time! " Gogeta said happily as he and his brother stood on the escalators going down. He
now had two large shopping bags in each of his hands.
" Yeah! This is my first official Christmas too! " Vejitto added. He paused, " Hey, did you feel Mommy's ki just
now? " he asked.
Gogeta focused, " You're right! And it's Daddy's. " he corrected Vejitto, who sweatdropped, " Let's go surprise him!"
he grinned, dashing off.
" Uhh... " Vejitto blinked, then yelped suddenly, " AHH! GOGGIE NO! HE DOESN'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE YET!! " he shouted,
running after him.
" Hahahahahaha--! " Gogeta screeched to a halt just feet away from the jewerly stand and froze. Vegeta was happily
walking away from it holding a small shopping bag while an enraged Chi-Chi stood behind the counter ready to leap over it and
attack the ouji; holding a very familiar bazooka over her shoulder, " She's going to try to kill Daddy. " Gogeta murmured in
shock, his body starting to shake, " Like she tried to kill ME. " only Goku's voice came out this time, choked up, " How
could Chi-chan do it...killing me just so she could kill Veggie once and for all... " he said in disbelief, " I think I
understand now....I WON'T LET YOU DO THIS!!! " Goku screamed in anger.
" Yipe! " Vejitto yelped and tackled Gogeta to the ground before he could burst into ssj and launch himself at
Chi-Chi, " Goggie don't! Goggie, Gogeta--calm down! Not here! Not now! "
Vegeta paused and glanced in their direction. Vejitto quickly surpressed his ki as he watched his smaller fusion
parent shrug his shoulders and head over to the food court. Vejitto sighed. Gogeta now had a mixture of devastated and
furious expressions on his face.
" Veggie is RIGHT, Ji-chan! Veggie is RIIIIHIIIHHIIIIGHT! " Goku's voice sobbed from inside Gogeta's fused body.
" It's oh-kay, Toussan. " Vejitto said quietly, helping him up, " But I CAN'T just let you loose and attack somebody
in a public area! Look at all the people around here! They could get hurt! " he exclaimed, then pulled out the two mallets
both fusions had bought earlier, " We'll kick her butt when we all get back home! " Vejitto grinned cheerfully.
" YAY! " Gogeta's voice cheered. Goku was still crying inside.
" I STILL say we should attack Onna now! NOW do you see what I've been babbling about all this time Kakarrotto! "
Vegeta's voice scholded the larger saiyajin.
Gogeta nodded, " Yes little Veggie. " Goku responded quietly. He paused, " Does Veggie still love me? "
" Hai. " Vegeta's voice said, " Kakarrotto if you were to lose an arm I would never kill you just to wish you back
so you would regain the arm you lost. I will never kill you for my own personal gain. "
" Yeah, besides if you did all of us'd die too anyways! " Gogeta laughed, " Hahahahaha!....ha... " he sweatdropped to
hear both voices silencing themselves to his subconsious, " Well that wasn't very nice. " he grumbled.
Vejitto watched his fused counterpart in confusing, cocking his head every now and then.
" HO HO HO! And what do YOU want for Christmas little girl? "
Both fusions froze and their eyes widened with excitement.
" I want a pony, and a converteeble, and stuffed bunny rabbit! "
Gogeta and Vejitto peered over a nearby crowd to see 'Santa' on his throne with a little girl on one of his knees.
" SANTA CLAUS!! " they both squealed at once, then quickly covered their mouths as several people glanced over at
them, surprised.
" Heh-heh-heh-heh. " Vejitto laughed, embarassed.
" Wow! Santa Claus! " Gogeta grinned.
" Hey, speaking of bunnies did I ever show you the fusion bunny Toussan made for me? " Vejitto said eagerly, " It's
so cute-n-it's-black-n-grey-n-white! I've been calling him Freckles! "
" Where is Freckles? " Gogeta asked.
" Oh, I left him with Grampa and Gramma over my break. " Vejitto replied.
" HOW DARE YOU CRAP ON MY ROYAL THRONE! " Bejito yelled angrily as he chased Freckles around the house, " COME BACK
HERE YOU MULTI-COLORED LONG-EARRED RODENT!! " he swung his scepter in the air.
" He'll be fine, don't worry about him. " Vejitto said to his little brother, " I am sure he is in capable hands. "
he nodded.
" Oh-kay Vejitto. " Gogeta said, still a little bit shaken up.
Vejitto floated upward just enough to see over the crowds, " HEY! That isn't the REAL Santa Claus. It's Mirai Trunks
in a Santa suit! " he folded his arms, then grinned, " This'll be funny. " he landed on the ground, then grabbed Gogeta by
the wrist, " Come on Goggie! "
" Why hello little boy, and what's your name? " Mirai did his best 'Santa' impression. The boy stared at him for a
moment, then burst into tears.
" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
Mirai sweatdropped, " Oh...don't, don't cry now. Santa knows you've been a good boy this year. " he said, picking the
child up and setting him down where the chatty girl had just been. The boy stopped crying and started sucking his thumb in a
nervous manner until he finally quieted down and grinned widely; relieved.
" There, that's better. " Mirai said, " Now what would you like Santa to bring you for Christmas? "
" P! " the boy grinned.
" Uhh, P? " Mirai said in his normal voice, confused, " A, Plane? "
" No plane! Plain pee! "
" Plai--p-- " Mirai's face turned a pale green as he looked down to see his entire leg was now soaked in a smelly
yellow liquid, " Oh.....dear Lord why... " he cringe in disgust, then picked the boy up and handed him over to his mom,
" Here you are ma'am, I, think he needs to change his..diaper. " Mirai once again looked at his wet leg, " Eew. "
" NEXT! " a woman dressed as an elf said. Another little girl came forward.
" Ho ho ho. Why hello little girl, and what's your name. " Mirai said, trying to be cheerful.
" If you're the real Santa Claus how come you don't know my name? " she asked, " Santa's supposed to know who's been
naughty or nice but aren't you supposed to know our names too? If you didn't know my name how do I know you're the real Santa
Claus huh? " she said suspicously.
" Ohhhhhhhhh, boy. " Mirai groaned, slapping himself on the forehead, " Listen, why don't you just tell Santa what
you want for Christmas, hm? "
" Sure? Where is he? " the little girl smiled, looking around. Mirai sweatdropped and muttered something under his
breath, " NEXT!!! " he screamed.
" Hello SAN-TAH! "
Mirai's eyes shot wide open to see Vejitto waving at him along with a similar looking yet slightly shorter person,
" Veh--ji--? "
" WHEE! " Vejitto landed on Mirai, nearly breaking his leg. Mirai yelped in pain, " Santa Claus, for Christmas I
would like a very very large banana, peanut-butter, and marshmellow flavored Candy Cane!....and some toys. " Vejitto grinned,
then hopped off. Gogeta hopped on in his brother's place.
" And I would like to see Chi-Chi slaughtered and killed unmercilessly--unmercifullessly...un--OH I just want her to
go blow up! " Gogeta exclaimed, hopping off.
" Who was that? " Mirai blinked at Vejitto.
" My little brother! " Vejitto said proudly, " His name is Goggie! " he patted Gogeta on the shoulder, " See you on
Christmas Day Mirai!--Oops. I mean, *snicker* Santa. " the two fusions did their best not to burst into laughter as they left
the scene. Mirai sweatdropped.
" Well, at least it can't get any worse than that. " he said, rubbing his knee. A little boy came up to him with a
long trail of boogers coming out his nose.
" *sniff* Hi Santa. " he said, his voice congested. The boy sneezed, sending a bus-load of snot onto Mirai's leg.
" "You're good with little kids", Mom said. "Just look how much baby Trunks liked you", Mom said. Oy! " Mirai groaned
, " Why me! "
" Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh what fun, it is to ride, in a one horse open sleigh, HEY! " Goku
sang to himself as he headed for towards his house carrying enough packages on his back to make Santa proud of him. He
happily knocked on the door only to have it slowly creak open. The large saiyajin walked inside and paused when he felt what
to him was a light tap at his chest.
" YAH! "
Goku looked down at Chi-Chi, who had her fingers pressed against him. The couple exchanged embarassed expressions
before Goku spoke up, " HI CHI-CHAN! " he grinned.
" Go-chan! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, hugging him tightly, " Oh sweetie that EVIL little Ouji made a MOCKERY of me at the
mall today! Everyone thought _I_ was the bad guy just because I was the one holding the bazooka over my shoulder and aiming
at him while he pretended to cry like a baby! "
" Chi-chan made little Veggie CRY! " Goku gasped, then paused, " Waitaminute, what were you doing with a bazooka in
the mall? " he blinked, confused.
" TRYING TO DEFEND MYSELF!! " Chi-Chi snapped, " You won't believe it but Vegeta was unintentionally starting to set
up that horrible TERRIBLE future I saw when I used Mirai's time machine to travel there!!! " she nervously grabbed Goku by
the collar.
" You mean the one that happens 100 years from now when I am little Veggie's ~*princess*~? " the larger saiyajin said
w/big sparkily eyes.
Chi-Chi glared, " EXACTLY! " she screamed in his face. Goku rubbed his ears in pain.
" Oww. "
" Goku he was having the same exact rings made that future him had on when I met him! "
" So? " Goku shrugged.
" SO! THAT MEANS MY CHANCES OF SAVING YOU FROM THAT OUJI'S CLUTCHES HAVE JUST TIGHTENED!!! " she shouted.
" ...umm, is that a bad thing? " Goku scratched his head. Chi-Chi looked at him like he had gone insane.
" OF COURSE IT'S A BAD THING, GOKU! IT'S A VERY VERY _VERY_ BAD THING!!! " Chi-Chi screamed, " THE NEXT THING YOU
KNOW HE'LL BE TEACHING YOU HIS LANGUAGE AND DRESSING YOU UP IN THOSE CREEPY OUJO CLOTHES AND DRINKING OUT OF THE SAME YOGURT
CUP AS YOU-- "
" --I gotcha a present. " Goku smiled.
" ... " Chi-Chi blanked out, then grinned, " OH MY GO-CHAN!! IT'S THAT NECKLACE I PUT THE SIGN UP NEXT TOO--I mean,
that I told you I wanted so very much! Isn't it! "
" Mayyyybe? " Goku giggled, patting a smaller shopping bag.
" GO-CHAN I LOVE YOU!! " Chi-Chi kissed him, " CAN I SEE IT? "
" Is it Christmas? " Goku said teasingly.
" For me it is... " she said in a sing-song voice
" For me it isn't... " Goku countered, humming also. He grinned. Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " Chi-chan's gotta wait for
her gift just like everyone else! "
Chi-Chi grumbled to herself and kicked one of the shopping bags, causing a pair of white and yellow mittens to roll
out. She blinked, " Who's are these for? " she picked them up. The mittens were too big for her and way too small for Goku.
" Oh, they're for Veggie! " he chirped.
Chi-Chi looked the mittens over, " Normal gift...a little TOO cuddily looking...but nothing too weird about it.
Oh-kay Goku, you are allowed to give these to the Ouji. " she smiled, handing them back to him.
Goku sweatdropped, " I have to ask for PERMISSION to give Christmas presents??? "
" To that evil little creature of darkness ya do. " Chi-Chi said flatly, then picked up a white t-shirt out of the
bag and sweatdropped, " "Veggie". " she read the shirt, " Didn't you just get the Ouji something! " Chi-Chi said, annoyed.
" Well, yeah, but Veggie gave me his credit card to go shopping for him so I could pick out what I really thought
he'd like without having to worry about the price. " Goku said happily, then frowned, " That's why I haven't been able to get
you that much stuff. I don't think Veggie'd like it if I used his credit card to buy presents for EVERYBODY. "
Chi-Chi stared at the white t-shirt. The word Veggie written in green letters with a chubby little carrot as the "i",
" A carrot...how very ironic. " she sweatdropped.
" What's so ironic about a carrot? " Goku cocked his head.
" ... " Chi-Chi sighed, " Nevermind Goku. So? " she said as she placed the shirt in Goku's arms also, " Any more
'surprises' for the Ouji you care to share with me? "
" Umm, well, " Goku said nervously; afraid she wouldn't let him give Vegeta the rest of the presents. Chi-Chi pulled
out a carton from another bag, eyeballing it with confusion.
" EGG NOG??? You bought him...EGG NOG? "
" It was on Veggie's Christmas list! " Goku protested, " Little Veggie's list is so long! AND it was the only thing
on it that didn't involve me in an embarassing situation or in a creepy costume. " he added.
" Hmm? " Chi-Chi held the carton of egg-nog up, then gawked at a little label on it, " GOKU! This has RUM in it! "
" That's how Veggie likes it, Chi-chan. " Goku explained, " And he IS definately overage enough to drink it. "
" Ugh, Goku, we REALLY don't need any drunk Oujis at the Christmas party. " Chi-Chi grimaced.
Goku sniffled, tears welling up in his eyes.
" OHhhhh, ALRIGHT! You can give him this too. Just as long as we both get out of there before he starts drinking it
and singing oldies over Bulma's P.A. system. " Chi-Chi nodded.
" How would you know how little Veggie acts when he's had one too many? " Goku cocked an eyebrow. She stared at him,
baffled.
" I don't! I'm just assuming! He could just instantly pass out for all we know! But I'm sure as not going to stick
around to find out! "
" But I wanna find out. " Goku said, curious.
" You really wanna know--ask Bulma. " Chi-Chi said bluntly, " Now what's in this bag? " she held up the JCPenney's
one.
" Veggie-naptime stuff! " Goku chirped.
Chi-Chi looked at him incrediously, " You got him EVEN MORE stuff!! "
" ...well it was a big credit card. " he shrugged, " I had the money to get Veggie more stuff. "
Chi-Chi sighed and pulled out a package. She sweatdropped, " Bedsheets??? " she gawked in shock.
" Yeah! I sat down on one of the sample beds they had in the store cuz I was really tired and the sheets felt so good
I thought; you know I bet little Veggie would like these; he must get awful cold on these winter nights. " Goku smiled.
" Hmm. " Chi-Chi inspected the package, then ripped it open to reveal the red sheets.
" HEY! WHAT'RE YOU DOING! CHI-CHI!! " Goku yelped, " I HAVE TO WRAP THOSE UP! "
" You're not wrapping anything up until I know what it i--HOLY CHEESECAKE!! " she cried out as she rubbed the sheets
between her fingers, " THESE ARE SATIN!! "
" You mean sat on? " Goku said, confused.
Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " NOT "SAT IN"! SATIN! AND THIS ONE IS STAYING HERE! "
" What??? "
" I'M NOT LETTING YOU GIVE THIS TO THE OUJI, GOKU! WHAT'LL HE THINK?! "
The larger saiyajin paused, then grinned, " Veggie will think "Thank you Kakarrotto, I can now go to sleep without
freezing my little body to death upstairs in my cold cold room.". " he said thoughtfully.
Chi-Chi stared at him, " Goku you don't have a single evil thought in your head do you. " she said in disbelief.
" Nope! I'm a good little boy and Santa knows it! " he gave her a thumbs-up.
" Unfortunately, Go-chan, Santa also knows that our little Ouji "friend"; and I use that term loosely; has many MANY
evil thoughts parading about his noggin. " Chi-Chi nodded, " Bedsheets! HONESTLY! Such good intentions, yet such an
embarassing aftermath. " she shook her head, " Goku, bedsheets like THESE are something you would give ME, not the, OUJI. "
she cringed at the word.
" ... " Goku blinked, then grinned slyly, " OHHHHHH, I get it. Chi-chan is cold at night so she wants the bedsheets
for herself. Tsk tsk Chi-chan. " he giggled, then perked up, " I can go buy you some if you really want some that bad! "
Chi-Chi walked up to Goku and hugged him, " My poor, sweet, mixed-up baby. " she patted his back. Goku smiled. She
let go of him, " NO RED SATIN SHEETS FOR THE OUJI YOU HERE ME!!!! " Chi-Chi screamed in Goku's face. Goku whinced as his ears
felt like they were bleading from the extreme loudness of her voice.
" Oww.. " he covered his ears with his hands, " That'll hurt for a while... " Goku pouted, then looked at her
curiously, " I guess this means I can't give little Veggie his robe either, huh? "
" YOU GOT HIM A _ROBE_!!!! " Chi-Chi nearly had a heart-attack.
" Yeah I don't think that'll be getting to Veggie's house either. " Goku said to himself, sweatdropping.
" GIVE ME THOSE! " Chi-Chi grabbed Goku's remaining shopping bags, " I can't believe this! WHY ON EARTH DID YOU GET
THE OUJI A ROBE!!! "
" Because it matched his sheets. " Goku said innocently, then shrugged.
Chi-Chi groaned and did her best not to fall over then and there, " "because it matched his sheets", oh good God! "
she spat out, then found the remaining present and pulled it out to reveal another familiar object. She held the robe up
infront of her, her hands shaking and her eyelid in a nervous twitch.
:::" OH KAH-KEE, I HAVE ARRIVED FOR YOU MY PRINCESS! " Vegeta appeared at the top of the stairs in a sing-song voice.
" V-SAMA! " Goku squealed w/big sparkily eyes.
" BLEH. " Chi-Chi almost gagged.
" Like the new outfit, Kakay? " Vegeta had on a deep red robe which was about 2 sizes too big for him. The sleeves
looked enormous, even for the ouji's muscles; and covered up to most of his hands. A familiar blue sash sat tied around his
waist. Chi-Chi recognized it immediately.
" THAT'S ONE OF GOKU'S OLD GI SASHES! " she pointed to it, gawking. Vegeta only ignored her and began to proudly
decend the stairs, " You told me this one was your favorite on me so I thought I'd wear it just for you. ":::
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! " Chi-Chi shrieked
in terror, dropping it to the floor, " WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME!!! "
" What is Chi-chan talking about? " Goku cocked his head, then picked up the robe and folded it.
" THAT'S FUTURE OUJI'S ROBE!!!! " Chi-Chi screamed, horrified as she backed up, pointing at it.
" Future Veggie's??? " Goku looked at her, confused, " But how can it be Future Veggie's if I just bought it just
now? PRESENT Veggie doesn't even know about it! " he unfolded it and held it out infront of him.
" SEE! SEE! THAT _IS_ THE SAME ROBE FROM THE FUTURE! IT'S THE SAME COLOR AND IT'S WAY TOO BIG FOR THE OUJI JUST LIKE
THE FUTURE ONE!!! " Chi-Chi collapsed to the floor on her behind, still pointing and shaking.
" Oh, yeah I guess it is a little big for little Veggie; but it was the only one in the same color as the sheets. I
didn't like the other colors as much. " Goku explained, then hugged the robe, " This one's my *FAVORITE*!! " he cuddled the
warm-n-fuzzy robe closer to his cheek.
" WILL YOU _STOP THAT_!!! " Chi-Chi snapped, her mind ready to snap along with it, " I CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN!!
OHHHHH! WHAT AM I GONNA DO! WHAT AM I GONNA _DO_!!!! " she started to nervously pace back and forth, " I know! I'll burn
them! I'll burn the robe and the sheets in the fireplace! Yes, that's it! The Ouji can't get them if they don't exist! Of
course. " Chi-Chi laughed, slightly paranoid.
" Uhh, Chi-Chi we don't have a fireplace. " Goku said, looking at her cautiously.
" ...oh. Right. " Chi-Chi frowned, then folded her arms, " Well in that case I'm going to confiscate them until I can
find a way to get rid of them and save your future! "
" NO NO!!! " Goku cried, " I put a lot of love into all the presents I bought my little Veggie! I can't just hand
them over to you like that! You'll destory them! And besides you're not the boss of me! "
" OH, and I suppose the OUJI is, eh? " she folded her arms.
" NO! Veggie isn't either!...wait...is he? " Goku blinked, confused.
" OF COURSE NOT NOW GIVE ME THE PRESENTS!!! " Chi-Chi yelled.
" Nuh-uh! I'm confiscating my OWN presents up to my OWN room, thank you! " Goku snorted, then gathered his presents
and stomped up the stairs to his room and closing the door behind it. Chi-Chi stared up at the door to Goku's room for a
moment, worried. Goku stuck his head out into the hallway, smiled at her, and blew a raspberry. Chi-Chi sweatdropped as she
watched the door slam shut a second time.
" Hoo boy... "
" Jingle bells, Onna smells, got fired from her job. At least I hope I think she did, her boss thinks she's a slob. "
Vegeta sang to himself as he contently made his way up the driveway to the front door of Capsule Corp. It was now beginning
to snow lightly and there was about an inch of the white stuff on the lawn. He opened the front door to see two grinning
carolers standing in the doorway.
" WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS, WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS, WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND A HAPPY NEW-- "
" *SLAM!* " Vegeta slammed the door in their faces, " LEAVE MY HOUSE ALONE! Bakayaro carolers. " he muttered,
stomping away. It wasn't until Vegeta reached the end of the driveway when he realized something very odd. Vegeta
sweatdropped and ran back up to the door, " YOU LET ME IN RIGHT NOW YOU, YOU, WHOEVER YOU ARE THAT BROKE INTO MY HOUSE!! " he
pounded on the door, only to have it opened by Vejitto.
" Hi Mommy! " Vejitto said cheerfully, " Didja miss me? "
" ... " Vegeta blinked, " ...Vejitto why were you singing Christmas carols on the wrong side of the door? "
" I dunno. " he grinned, shrugging.
" Been pal-ing around with Kakarrotto earlier today, right. " Vegeta said flatly.
" YOU BET! " the taller saiyajin said happily.
" Ahh, I figured. Too much exposure to Kakarrotto instigates your own kaka-genes to become more dominantly featured
than my own. " the ouji sighed, stepping inside and putting his shopping bags down. He closed the door.
" Anything for me? " the fusion asked.
" Hm? Oh I've already bought you a gift. " Vegeta said. Vejitto opened his mouth only to have Vegeta interupt, " Of
course I'm not telling you where it is because you'll go and ruin the surprise before Christmas even gets here. "
" ... " Vejitto frowned, " Ohhh... "
" You're here early. " Vegeta commented.
" OH! Yeah I get to stay for the whole Christmas break AND New Years! Isn't that great! " Vejitto said, " I've also
gotten you and Toussan the BEST PRESENT EVER! AND you've both given me a present already also! "
" We have? When? " Vegeta blinked.
Vejitto pointed to a similar-looking figure on the couch behind him, " This is Gogeta! My little brother! "
Vegeta's jaw fell to the floor, " YOUR _WHAT_?! "
" His brother! " Gogeta repeated, waving.
" But--but HOW? I mean--uhhh--I DIDN'T DO ANY MORE FUSING WITH KAKARROTTO IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE INSINUATING SO I
DON'T KNOW HOW-- " he screamed, flustered.
" He's from an alternate timeline. Like Mirai Trunks. " Vejitto explained.
" ...oh. " Vegeta said, blushing with embarassment, " Heh-heh-heh. I thought--umm--nevermind. " he said with a cheesy
grin, " What's he doing here? "
" Singing Christmas carols with me. " Vejitto replied.
Vegeta sweatdropped, " NO, I mean, how did he get here. WHY is he here? You know, the important stuff! "
" Ahh, the important stuff. " Gogeta nodded, trying not the burst into laughter. He sat up, " I got here by using
Mirai Trunks's time machine, I'm here because I was trying to get away from Onna before she could kill me and so I hopped in
the machine to hide. She smacked the machine really hard with her mallet and I somehow ended up in your timeline's h.f.i.l.
Vejitto-kun brought me here from there, seeing as he was just leaving anyway. " Gogeta explained.
" You were trying to ESCAPE from Onna?! " Vegeta said, " What was SHE so mad about! Doesn't the fusion dance only
last 30 minutes! "
" Not if you don't forget to take off your portara earrings before-hand. " the fusion said, slightly embarassed. He
pulled the earrings out of his pockets.
Vegeta's eyes bugged out of his head, " YOU'RE A PERMANENT FUSION TOO?! "
Gogeta nodded, " I completely forgot about the earrings Veggie. " Goku's voice came out. The ouji's eyes would've
completely flung out of his sockets and onto the living room floor if they weren't held in so tightly.
" KAKARROTTO!? "
" Heh-heh, hi? " he squeaked out.
Vegeta pointed at Vejitto, " WHAT IS KAKARROTTO DOING INSIDE THERE!!! "
" That's not OUR Kakarrotto. That's the Kakarrotto from Gogeta's timeline. Which is somewhere around May or June. "
Vejitto thought outloud to himself, " He's got the same kinda syndrome I had before I de-fused inside Buu and freed your
bodies, then got my body back after we were all wished back near the end of the Buu fight. "
" So what your saying is he has his own personality but his body ALSO is home to his timeline's Kakarrotto and I? "
Vegeta cocked his head, surprised.
" Yeah, pretty much. " Vejitto laughed.
" I'm surprised he's still sane. " Vegeta muttered.
" Well from where Goggie came from he's, err, they've only been in this state for about 2 days. I'm almost 7 months
old! If I still had to deal with you-n-Daddy in my head by now I would've died multiple times! " Vejitto exclaimed, then
sweatdropped to see Vegeta glared at him, insulted, " Umm, heh-heh, you understand. "
" Yes, I suppose. " Vegeta grumbled, then walked up to Gogeta, " So? Where exactly does YOUR timeline scew off in
this odd direction? "
" Umm, I kinda convinced you to keep your portara and then after I did my little heeheehee song I convinced you to be
my fusion partner. " Gogeta's now more Goku-ish expression grinned. Light blush marks on his cheeks.
" I crushed the portara and snubbed you after your freakishly cute "heeheehee" song. " Vegeta nodded, giving his
version of the story, " Wait...how did YOU convince ME to "fusion dance" with you anyway! " he demanded.
" Mistletoe. " the ouji's voice came out of Gogeta this time, flatly.
" Mistlet---oh... " Vegeta squeaked out, his face turning bright red, " Really? How...uhh...very interesting.. " he
said uneasily.
" So that's what I look like when I 'glow'. " Gogeta blinked. He sighed, Vegeta still in control, " God, I miss my
body! " the saiyajin groaned.
" I miss mine too. " Goku's sniffled.
" WELL IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT ANYWAY MR. LET'S-GIVE-VEGGIE-A-BIG-WET-KAKA-DROOL-ENTRENCHED-SMOOCH-AND-SEE-IF-HE-CHANGES-
-HIS-MIND-ABOUT-BEING-MY-FUSION-DANCE-PARTNER!!! " Vegeta screamed at themself. He glanced over at the other Vegeta; the one
who still had his original body; and poked him on the shoulder, " Hey. "
" Uhh...uhhhhhHHhh... " the little ouji was frozen as various made-up images floated through his mind, " ...what was
Kakarrotto THINKING!! "
" I can tell you. " Gogeta's voice said.
" SHUDDUP! " Vegeta's snapped, " Listen, " he bent down to the other him, " you need to dispose of the portaras RIGHT
AWAY! Or at least avoid any further fusion dances with Kakarrotto. "
" Umm, oh-kay. " Vegeta said, confused.
" Yeah. And Chi-Chi'll try to kill you. " Goku's voice said sadly. Gogeta's eyes watering.
" Onna's ALWAYS trying to kill me. " Vegeta sighed.
" NO! I mean, she, Veggie.....Veggie, Chi-Chi wanted to kill Gogeta, even though I was inside him too. " his eyes
began to water, " SHE WAS GONNA KILL ALL THREE OF US JUST SO SHE COULD BRING BACK ONLY ME! AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S EVEN
POSSIBLE!!! "
Vegeta's eyes widened, " Onna wanted to kill you just because you were fused with ME? "
Gogeta nodded solumnly, then said in his own voice, " The phrase, "HOW DARE YOU EXIST!" comes to mind. "
The ouji's shoulders slumped to his sides, " Onna would kill me even if Kakarrotto and I were sharing the same body?
Kakarrotto! Did she KNOW for sure you were in the body too? "
" Yes little Veggie. I told her. That's what caused her to start trying to kill me! " Goku's voice choked out, " It
was so horrible. Chi-chan hates you even more than she loves me!! " he started sobbing. Vegeta glanced over at Vejitto, who
was also taking the other fusion's story all in. Vegeta patted Gogeta on the back.
" It's alright, Kaka-chan. I TOLD you the Onna's evil, but gullible little Kakays just don't listen to me. " Vegeta
bragged.
" And THAT'S why I understand now, Veggie! I want to help you! " the larger saiyajin's voice said determinedly.
" You mean, you want to help me mentally destroy Onna to a near hospitalized psycho-ward? " Vegeta said curiously.
" YEAH! " Gogeta pumped his fist in the air.
Vegeta grinned victoriously, " Well then, let's go show Onna some REAL holiday spirit! Follow ME! Sons... " he said
as he marched up to his room.
Vejitto giggled and followed him, " I always enjoy this part. "
" Heh-heh-heh. " Gogeta chuckled in his own voice, behind Vejitto, " This is gonna be the best Christmas EVER! "

END OF PART TWO
Chuquita: (grins) And so ends part 2! Hyperbole asked in the reviews if I could post the address to the other two stories I
mentioned. So, here they are!
A Very Veggie Christmas -Slimshady
http://fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1090757
A Quick Trip into Chuquita Land -Maria Cline
http://fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1123367
Chuquita: Maria's was just a one-shot fic but Slimshady's has more than one chapter. I hope she adds part 2 to her story
soon. (sighs) I honestly can't figure out what Veggie's plan having to do with the snow is. (nods) And I wanna find out.
Vegeta: (yawns and opens his eyes)
Goku: (happily) Speaking of Veggies, he's ALIVE!
Vegeta: (sits up in his chair to see he has a blanket in place of his shirt) (woozy) What happened?? (glances over at Goku,
who waves at him) (narrows his eyes) Now I remember....YOU WERE GOING TO KEEP MY BRAIN TRAPPED IN IDIOT-LAND FOR THE REST OF
MY LIFE, WEREN'T YOU, KAKARROTTO!!!
Goku: (looking around nervously) Uhh...uhhh... (happily) Veggie-I'm-so-glad-you're-safe! [grabs Veggie and hugs him tightly]
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) Heh-heh-hehhhhh...... (pauses and pushes himself out of the hug) DON'T CHANGE THE TOPIC! YOU
WERE PLOTTING TO MAKE ME INTO SOME BRAIN-DEAD HOUSEHOLD PET! (fake sniffle) How COULD you Kakay!
Goku: (smiles innocently) It just seemed so easy.
Vegeta: ... (blinks)
Goku: (cheesy grin)
Vegeta: (flatly) Underestimating Kakarrotto. One of the many repeated lessons I learn on a daily basis.
Chuquita: You're lucky that sweater tore on the tree, (grins) I don't think your brain would've survived with an I.Q. as low
as that sweater made yours!
Vegeta: (glares at her) Ha ha ha, VERRRY funny Chu. (glares even angrier at Son) AND _YOU_, KAKARROTTO--
Goku: (gulps; whimpers)
Vegeta: (smirks) --I didn't know you HAD an evil gene in you! (smiles) I'm VERY impressed.
Goku: (laughs nervously) I must have picked it up from me-n-little-Veggie's portara fusion.
Vegeta: (nods) Hai...BUT THAT DOESN'T STILL MEAN I'M NOT MAD AT YOU FOR SHUTTING DOWN HALF MY BRAIN CELLS!!!
Goku: (eyes wide; hair looking wind-blown from Veggie's loud scream) (squeaks out) Yes Veggie.
Chuquita: (to Veggie) I finally saw the dubbed version of your "number 1" episode!
Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) Really?
Goku: "Vegeta's hat's off to Goku (that's ME); you're number 1!" [holds up his hand which now has one of those big green foam
hands ontop of it with the pointer finger up and a number 1 on it] HEEE~~~
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Where did you get that?
Goku: I dunno? (grins)
Vegeta: (larger sweatdrops)
Chuquita: The dubbed episode is called "Vegeta's Respect"
Goku: (cues up oldies music) (singing) R-E-S-P E-C-T! TELL YOU WHAT IT MEANS TO ME--YIP! [Veggie slaps his hand over Son's
mouth and sends a ki blast at the cd player; frying it] (pouts) Awww...Veggie never let me have any fun!
Vegeta: Not when its at MY expense you won't.
Chuquita: While I still liked the sub dialogue better, dub Veggie can really rip your heart out when he wants to.
Goku: [pulls up his shirt and whips out a big candy heart; starts eating it]
Vegeta: (to Son) WHAT has gotten into you today.
Goku: (happily) The Christmas spirit little Veggie!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) I meant emotionally. Dub Veggie can make his voice sound really emotional depending on the mood.
Goku: Aww, does little Veggie have something he wants to *share* with us? [pats Veggie's shoulder]
Vegeta: (sending death-glares in Son's direction)
Goku: (whispers to Chu) If I didn't know better I'd say he's still mad at me.
Chuquita: (sarcasm) Whatever gave you THAT idea.
Vegeta: (sticks his tongue out at them)
Chuquita: I think I found these full eps at pbxanime or something that sounds like it. (nods, then smiles) I was finally able
to pick up where I left off downloading the Buu eps that haven't aired here yet!
Vegeta: *cough* That's-cheating *cough*
Chuquita: (narrows her eyes at him; turns back to the audiance) So far I've gotten the english versions of Veggie's Respect;
another one I can't remember the sub title to, "True Saiyans Fight Alone", umm the other 3 tail-end Buu fight subs I missed
back at Dragonball Arena (283, 284, & 285).
Goku: AND we got to see Veggie do a classic anime Bulma-esque watch-my-head-grow-10-times-its-size-as-I-yell-at-you-cuz-I'm-
really-really-mad!
Chuquita: (grinning) I have a screenshot of this one if anyone wants to see it. Son's got on the most delighted expression
even though Veggie's--
Goku: --really-really-mad!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Of course...
Chuquita: This is in the "True Saiyans Fight Alone" episode.
Goku: You know they should probably call it, "Veggie & Goku are Afraid to end up Permanently Fused again so they're Taking
turns Fighting Buu".
Vegeta: (smirks) OR we could call it "Kakay disses Onna and Accepts his True Saiyajin-ness"
Chuquita: Yah, the dub cut out the whole "Chi-Chi isn't that hot..." line of Son-kun's in favor of him saying how much
prettier Bulma is instead.
Goku: She is.
Vegeta: (to Son) (grinning; holding up a pen & sticky-note) Can I quote you on that?
Goku: (sweatdrops)
Chuquita: Well, I don't think I'll have Part 3 done for Christmas; it's less than a week away; so we'd like to wish you a
Merry early Christmas right now!
Everyone: MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!
Goku: (toots little horn) And a HAPPY NEW YEAR! [throws confetti in the air]
Vegeta: (shivers and grabs his blanket) I gotta find myself a shirt...
