Quote of the Week: -from dbz 191 "The Fight is Over! Thank You Son Goku"
{Vegeta:} Those peasants! What do they think they can do?
Chuey's Corner:
Goku: (happily) LOTS of things!
Chuquita: (humoring him) Really? Like what?
Goku: (ready to burst into song) Weeeeelllllll, we CAN---mmph! [glob of a large blue t-shirt is stuffed in his mouth]
(muffled) Hey! [looks down to see Veggie wearing one of Son's blue gi t-shirts in place of his missing tank top; shirt is WAY
too big for him] (eyes widened like two big saucers)
Vegeta: (threateningly) PLEASE. DON'T start singing random things off the top of your head. I'm cold, freezing, and I also am
getting a very large headache. So do me a favor and avoid making my brain a more miserable blob that sits inside my head. Ok?
Goku: ... (squeals) AAAAHHHHHHHH!!! LOOKIT-LITTLE-VEGGIE-WEARING-MY-GI-SHIRT-THAT'S-TOO-BIG-FOR-HIM-AND-YOU-LOOK-SO-CUUUUTE!!
[wiggling his fingers back and forth itchily] LET-ME-HOLD-YOU!!!
Vegeta: (frozen in place) Uhhhh... [takes two steps back, bright red glow beginning to seep into his face] Muh--maybe using
one of Kakarrotto's shirts as a replacement was a...bad choice.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops at Son) No kidding.
Goku: (grinning widely) (hops out of his chair and starts sneaking slowly towards Veggie) Come'ere lil Veggie, I won't hurt
you.
Vegeta: (laughs nervously) Uh, heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-- [spins around ready to run off only to have Son teleport infront of
Veggie & hug him] YIPE!
Goku: WHEE! [spins Veggie around several times until the little ouji is dizzy] [carries Veggie back over to the desk and sits
him down on his lap] Heeheehee, silly little buddy! [plops a wrapped box infront of him] I gotcha a present!
Vegeta: (still dizzy) Who-wahhh?
Chuquita: (to Son) He looks a little queasy.
Goku: Aw, don't worry about Veggie. He has a VERY strong stomach! [pats Veggie on the stomach, only to freeze in place as
Veggie's cheeks instantly bloat up with his breakfast]
Vegeta: (covers his mouth with his hands and disorientedly jumps off Goku's lap and over to the side of the set where he
promptly throws up) BLEH-HEH-HEH-HEHHHHH!! Ohhhh.... [rubs his mouth] Yuck!
Goku: (teleports next to Veggie with the present) (eagerly) Here! Open it open it!!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Alright! I'll open it. Calm down Kakarrotto. [slowly starts to open the present]
Goku: (eagerly bounces up & down) Eh! Eh!
Vegeta: (still unwrapping)
Goku: (bounces; foam now dripping from mouth) EH! EH!
Vegeta: [holds present up; shakes it lightly]
Goku: (loud as possible) JUST OPEN IT ALREADY!!!!!
Vegeta: (eyes bulging out of their sockets) [rubs his ears in pain] Hmph! (snorts at Son, who's grinning psychotically) Ruin
my moment will you Kakarrotto. (rolls his eyes) [rips open the present and holds up a navy tank top similar to his training
one that he lost] (smiles) HEY, _THANKS_ Kakarrot-- [Son latches onto him, smiling ear-to-ear] --to.
Goku: I KNEW VEGGIE'D LOVE IT! [zips back over to his eager spot and starts bouncing again]
Vegeta: (blinks) NOW what are you waiting for?
Goku: -TRY-IT-ON!!
Vegeta: [takes off the gi shirt and puts the present shirt on] (smirks) Wow, it fits.
Goku: Heehee! Read the back.
Vegeta: Back? [glances over his shoulder to see the words "Little Buddy" written in gold letters on the back of the tank top]
(sweatdrops) Yes, this is definately something only YOU would buy for me Kakarrotto.
Goku: (flattered) Aww, Veggie I didn't buy it. I *MADE* it. ALL BY MYSELF! Here read the card! [holds out an envelope]
Vegeta: [opens the envelope titled "Veggie" and opens the card] (reading) "To my favorite little ouji," (to Son) How many
OTHER oujis do you know? (cocks suspicous eyebrow)
Goku: (shrugs) None. You're it.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) (back to reading) "To my favorite little ouji, I hope your Christmas is full of cheer, I hope you got
what you wanted this year, and if you didn't I'd get you some more, if only I weren't so awfully poor. Merry Christmas from
your (one & only) peasant and canahoii, "Kakarrotto" :)" [looks up at Son]
Goku: What I REALLY wanted to get little Veggie is this fancy new sleeping-bag at the "Sleep-o-Rama" store so he could sleep
over at my house and we could both have sleepovers in the gravity room but it was too much money. (sighs sadly) (perks up) So
I opted for the shirt instead!
Vegeta: (confused) A sleeping bag? How expensive could a SLEEPING BAG be?!
Goku: It had it's own heated water-matress thingy and a built-in stereo system. And it was made of silk.
Vegeta: (musing) Wow... (to Son) silk, huh?
Goku: I think.
Vegeta: (grinning; hugs Son) You DO care...
Goku: ... (blinks) YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) (instantly lets go) (nervous laughter) Heh-heh-heh....
Goku: Veggie got a present for MEEEEEEE? (big sparkily eyes)
Vegeta: (face starts to glow) Yes-but-I'll-give-it-to-you-after-the-chapter-oh-kay?
Goku: (cheers) HOO-RAY! (to Chu) I _LOVE_ Christmas, Chu-sama!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) (to herself) I thought they forgot about me. (turns to audiance) Introducing Part 3 of "Jingle Bells"!
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!
Chuquita: (to Son) With how much you talk we should call it "Goku's Corner"
Goku: (grins) REALLY?
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Not REALLY. I was just saying.
Vegeta: (smirks) I like "Kakay's Corner" better than "Goku's Corner" myself.
Goku: (giggles) How about "Lil Veggie's Happy Place!"
Vegeta: (embarassed) No thanks, Kakarrotto.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" MALLETS! _THAT'S_ YOUR "GRAND SCHEME"?! " Vegeta gawked in disbelief as he sat at a table in his room with the two
fusions.
" Uh-huh. " Gogeta nodded. Vejitto pulled two mallets even larger than Chi-Chi's out of one of the shopping bags.
" We bought these at the "Power Tools" store! " Vejitto grinned, twirling one of the mallets around like a baton.
" I see.. " the ouji frowned.
" What's wrong? " Vejitto blinked.
" I kind of thought that my own full-blooded offspring would at least be ALMOST as creatively-evil-minded as myself.
Hitting Onna over the head with mallets isn't very fulfilling. " Vegeta sighed.
" Heh-heh-heh, but that is where you're wrong, Toussan! " Gogeta grinned, " Me-n-Ji-chan have planned to randomly
attack Onna at various times of the day. Each of us will pick a different side of Capsule Corp and hide throughout it. Then,
when she least expects it, "WHAMMO!" " he made a pounding motion with his fist, " We'll pound her once. Just hard enough to
confuse her but not hard enough to kill her. If we do it enough times she'll eventually catch on and, as she has proven in
previous situations, become VERY VERY paranoid! I think that combined with your already thought-out "mistletoe" plan will be
enough to drive what's left of her sanity right out of her body! She'll be in the nut-house for life! "
" Well? " Vejitto said to their parent eagerly, " What do you think? Pretty smart for two people who's combined ages
don't even equal a year yet, huh? "
" ... " Vegeta sat there for a moment, blinking, " That....IS PURE GENIUS!! " he hugged both fusion babies at once.
Gogeta & Vejitto grinned at each other in accomplishment. Vegeta let them go, " Of course! Instead of merely TAUNTING Onna,
we'll drive her flat out INSANE! And if Onna's locked up in a mental ward somewhere babbling like an idiot that means I can
get my Kaka-servant-maid all that much faster! I WON'T EVEN HAVE TO WAIT FOR HER TO DIE BEFORE I WIN!! " tears of joy ran
down his cheeks.
" I DON'T like being refered to as a "servant-maid". " Goku's voice came out of Gogeta, mildly annoyed.
" Sure, sure Kakarrotto. " the ouji nodded happily, " My you hasn't even gotten the title back yet! " he then clasped
his hands together, " But he will soon! " Vegeta looked up at the younger fusion, " Say you wouldn't have an extra mallet in
there would you? "
Gogeta pulled out an even larger mallet and grinned, " Heehee, Veggie-size. " Goku's voice giggled.
" EEE... " Vegeta grabbed the mallet and swung it around a couple of times, " Heh-heh, Vejitto I forgot how much I
missed you! " he patted the older fusion on the shoulders, then looked over at the younger one, " And YOU, I am just as proud
of for envisioning the perfect evil plot! " Vegeta shook Gogeta's hand, then paused, " There wouldn't happen to be any more
of you "fusion babies", would there? Because after what you two have shown me I wouldn't mind another 4 or 5 or so. " he
looked around.
" Not unless you plan on making any from scratch. " Vejitto laughed nervously. Gogeta nodded in agreement.
Vegeta paled, " ...Oh. " he thought for a moment, then turned a green color, " Nevermind. I'd rather not. " he
quickly dismissed it.
" So? When IS Christmas anyway? " Gogeta asked, " I mean, I saw all the decorations but they've been up since after
Halloween so I'm not sure when-- "
" --tommorow. " Vegeta finished for him.
" TOMMOROW!!! " Gogeta yelped in shock, " ALREADY!!! "
" Yes, time flies, doesn't it. " the ouji folded his arms and nodded.
" Wow, tommorow... " Gogeta mumbled, " That's not much time is it? "
" Exactly! " the ouji pointed out, " And that's why we have to take advantage of the time we DO have and find some
decent hiding places for our plan tommorow. " he said, then smirked, " If it works out the why I'm hoping, we should have
the men in the white suits taking Onna away in a straight-jacket by late tommorow evening. " Vegeta looked at his watch.
" YEAH! " Vejitto cheered.
" And we can go visit her and make funny faces at her and point and laugh and-- " Gogeta trailed off only to find
Vejitto and Vegeta sweatdropping at him, " --what? "
" Your kaka-genes are showing. " Vegeta said flatly.
" Oh. " Gogeta's face flushed. He looked himself over, " Where? "
" ... " Vegeta smacked himself on the forehead, " He's so close....and yet so far... "
" Tired...so VERY tired. " Mirai groaned as he limped to his car in the mall parking lot, still in his santa suit,
" The only place THIS "santa" is going is hohohome. " he grumbled as he reached for the door to the car.
" LOOK IT'S SANTA! "
Mirai froze, his hand inches away from the door. He nervously looked over his shoulder to see a large group of
grinning little kids, " Umm, "Santa's" done for the day kids, come back another time oh-kay? " he said nervously.
" AHHHHH!!! " the kids responded by squealing and running at the car. Mirai gulped and panickingly started looking
for the car key on his key-chain.
" Come on! COME ON! WHERE IS IT?! " he muttered to himself, then felt a tug at his leg and froze.
" SANTA!!! "
" I knew I should've changed clothes in the bathroom before I left. " Mirai sweatdropped, then yelped as he was
tugged downward to the floor under the masses of screaming children.
" *YAWWWN*!! " Bura yawned as she sat up in bed. The little girl had been sleeping in all day so she would have
enough energy to stay awake while waiting for the real Santa to make his appearance, " What time is it? " she hopped out of
her bed and gasped to see the clock reading 12:40pm. Bura sweatdropped, changed into her normal clothes, grabbed two small
plush dolls off the counter next to her bed, and headed out the door, a toy in each hand.
" AHH! What a BEAUTIFUL day! " she said, stepping out into the hallway only to have a large glob of plaster fall on
her head. Bura reached up and wiped it off, " Eew! " she cringed, only to be hit a again; this time by a board, " OWW!! "
" Sorry Bura! " a voice with a pitch smack inbetween Goku & Vegeta's said from above her. Bura looked up to see
Vejitto cutting a hole in the ceiling.
" JI-CHAN!! " she squealed w/big sparkily eyes, " YOU CAME BACK!!....why are you cutting a hole in the ceiling. "
" It's all part of Goggie's "GRAND MASTER PLAN" to drive Chi-Chi insane and make her so mentally unstable we'll have
to send her to a real live crazy-house! " Vejitto grinned.
" An asylum? " Bura blinked.
" YEAH! "
" Aww, that's sweet of you! Helping Toussan achieve his goal extra extra early! AND for not killing anyone in the
process! " she smiled, then paused, " Who's Goggie? "
" Oh. He's my younger brother from an alternate timeline where Mommy and Daddy DO use the fusion dance before
escaping from inside Majin Buu but because of the bond created by the portara and the fact that they were wearing them when
they did the dance Gogeta, or Goggie as I like to call him, is a permanent fusion, like me! " he pointed to himself.
" Hi. " Gogeta waved to Bura, who whipped around to see another tailed saiyajin wearing an orange and blue outfit
similar to Gotenks. He was sawing a hole in the floor several feet away from Vejitto's ceiling hole.
Bura's eyes widened until they engulfed half her head, " Oh my GOOODNESSS...HE'S ADORABLE!!! " she glomped onto
Gogeta's leg, " O-lookit you! You're built just like Toussan but your face looks just like Kakarroujo's and you have a bang
just like Ji-chan's two bangs and wow you're so CUTE! "
" I'm cute too. " Vejitto pouted.
" Of COURSE you are! " Bura said, then turned back to Gogeta, " So how many other fusion babies are there? "
" Umm, I'm we're it. I think. " Gogeta shrugged, motioning to his brother.
" But, if you're here, there's gotta be MORE, right? " she said hopefully.
" Sorry Bu, Goggie only got here by some accident with his timeline's Mirai Trunks's time machine. " Vejitto sighed.
" IT WAS NO ACCIDENT ONNA WAS TRYING TO KILL ME!! " Gogeta snapped.
" Onna? " Bura said, confused, then gasped excitedly, " YOU call that mean ol Mrs. Goten's Mommy "Onna" just like
Toussan does! "
" Of course I do! I've always called her THAT. " Vegeta's voice came out of the fusion's mouth.
" Uh-huh! Me too now that I've seen how AWFUL Chi-chan was to little Veggie AND me about being stuck inside the same
body! " Goku's voice pouted.
Bura only stared, utterly confused and disturbed, " ... "
" Uh, since Goggie didn't get unfused and die his timeline's Mommy and Daddy are sharing the body with him. " Vejitto
explained.
" You mean you and Kakarroujo are sharing a SOUL... " Bura stared at the fusion in awe.
" ACK! IT'S NOT LIKE _THAT_!! " Vegeta's voice snapped. Gogeta's face glowed bright red.
" Heeheeheehee, " Goku's giggled, " I never thought about veggie-fusion THAT way bee-fore. "
" DON'T call it "veggie-fusion"--IT SOUNDS TOO CUTSY! Besides we might still have a way to get our bodies back. "
Gogeta nodded in Vegeta's voice.
" How? "
" ...I'm not sure. " Vegeta groaned. Gogeta fell over, twitching.
" This is kinda weird. " Bura cocked an eyebrow.
" You'll get used to it. " Vejitto sighed, sanding the sides of his hole in the ceiling, " He's perfectly sane aside
from the other two people in his body believe me. "
" Ji-chan is acting awfully smart right now....you must've been spending some Mommy & Ji-chan time with Toussan! "
she concluded.
" YEP! " Vejitto said happily, " He's off in another section of Capsule Corp drilling his own holes. "
" What for? " Bura cocked her head, smiling sweetly.
" I said it already, "Grand Master Plan"; that's all I can tell you! " Vejitto grinned in a Goku-ish way and gave her
a thumbs-up.
" Ohh... " Bura snorted, then perked up, " SO! How would my *FAVORITE* fusion babies like to take a break and come
play house with their little half-sister! "
Vejitto cringed, " Uh, no thanks, really, we're oh-kay right here. " he laughed nervously.
" I WANNA PLAY HOUSE! " Gogeta chirped, dropping his saw. Vejitto nearly fell down if he hadn't been levitating
himself in the air.
" No, you really don't. " Vejitto shook his head, worried for their safety.
" OH GOGGIE-CHAN! It'll be SO MUCH fun! " Bura hugged him, " And Ji-chan gets to come too 'cuz majority vote wins! "
" But we didn't vote on this! " Vejitto exclaimed, then paused, " Or did we? "
" Of COURSE we did! You just forgot. " Bura said while Gogeta picked up one of her dolls off the ground, " I've been
working on brand new outfits just for you two fusion-babies! Well, maybe only for Ji-chan but that's only because I didn't
know about Toussan and Kakarroujo's NEW baby! And that's oh-kay! I have extra outfits and you're both about the same size! "
" Is this supposed to be me? " Vegeta's voice said as he stared at the doll which looked exactly like the saiyajin no
ouji with the exception that this one was dressed up with a crown and cape and had a prince's outfit on, " Aww, B-chan. A
brilliant likeness if I do say so myself. " he said, flattered, " Where'd you get this? "
" Internet. " Bura grinned, " He came wearing one of your training outfits but I dressed him up with some of my other
dollies clothes! " she said, then smirked, " I was inspired by a recent incident involving your temporary crowning as KING! "
" I'm the KING? " Vegeta said, surprised and extatic at the same time.
" Well, you were. The pressures got to much though and you decided to be re-crowned at a later date. " Bura said,
taking her doll back.
" WOW....KING of the saiyajins! ME~~~ " he mused dreamily.
Bura sweatdropped, " Wow you HAVEN'T been here long have you? " she said, looking at her smiling ouji doll. Bura
hugged it along with the other doll, " You two ready to play house now? "
" YAY!! " Gogeta cheered.
" WAIT!! " Vejitto yelped. Bura frowned at him, " Umm, I'm curious. What's that other doll of? "
" Heh-heh-heh. " Bura held up a Goku doll wearing a pink princess costume, " It's Kakarroujo! "
Gogeta fell over, " WAHHH!!! " he sat up, " WHY IS _MY_ DOLLY WEARING A DRESS!!! " Goku's voice exclaimed, embarassed
at it.
" Cuz Kakay's the princess! " Bura said making the doll dance back and forth.
" AWWWWWWWWWW, the other me *WAS* RIGHT! Little Veggie *DID* make me his ~*pwincess*~!! " Goku said, going all
gooey-eyed, " I never knew little Veggie cared so ***deeply*** for ME~~~ " the larger saiyajin grinned.
" ERR, STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT!! " Vegeta's voice screamed out in rage and embarassment. Gogeta's face plummeting
back into a glowing bright red color, " THERE'S NO WAY I'D EVER MAKE YOU MY PRINCESS!!! " he turned to Vejitto, " WELL!
SAY SOMETHING! "
" Umm, Toussan is your oujo only on the grounds that you have a bit of each others dna from my fusion. There was no
ritual or anything like the near-completed one you had with Bulma. " Vejitto noted.
" THANK YOU! " Vegeta exclaimed, " See that Kakarrotto! I told you so! "
" Whatever you say little Veggie. " Goku's voice said skeptically.
" Aww, Toussan & Kakarroujo made up! " Bura said happily, putting her dolls hands near each others until they stuck.
" How'd you do that? " Vejitto cocked an eyebrow as he floated lower to the ground.
" I had little magnets inserted in different places so they can hug-n-stuff! " Bura said cheerfully, " Wanna see
where else I put the magnets? "
" NO THANKS! " Gogeta and Vejitto both said at once; quickly.
" How disturbing... " Vejitto sweatdropped. Gogeta nodded in agreement.
" So, are my favorite fusion-babies ready to go play! " she asked.
" Umm, if we play with you real fast will you let us go back and finish our plot. " Vejitto asked her.
" Sure! " Bura gave them a peace sign, " Just follow me! " she said, skipping back into her room.
Gogeta grinned and followed suit. Vejitto stood there, petrified.
" Somehow I have a very bad feeling about this... "
" Aaaand, DONE! " Goku said victoriously as he held up three brightly-wrapped presents. A form-fitting one for the
egg-nog, a small box for the mittens, and a large box with the t-shirt, robe, and bed-sheets inside. The large saiyajin
grinned, " Chi-chan'll never be able to tell I packed ALL of little Veggie's presents. And he'll be so happy getting all this
nice stuff to keep him warm at night. A warm Veggie is a happy Veggie!...speaking of Veggies maybe I should go check on him
and see how he's doing. "
" OH no you're not! "
" Eep! " Goku let out a squeak and looked around to see Chi-Chi in the doorway with her arms folded.
" Goku that Ouji has given me FAR TOO MANY scares today and I don't want to have to worry about you being around him
until tommorow when the whole gang is at Capsule Corp. " she threatened.
" But Chi-chan that is so impersonal. Besides, it's not like I'm gonna give Veggie his gifts! I just want to return
his credit card and see how he's doing. " Goku smiled, " I'm sure little Veggie is gettin kinda lonely right now. His ki's
in a whole 'nother section of Capsule Corp than everyone elses. "
" EXACTLY! Yet another reason why you're staying here till Christmas morning. " Chi-Chi nodded. The large saiyajin
pouted.
" But, but who's going to sing Christmas Carols with Veggie tonight? And who's gonna tell him all those bedtime
stories about Santa Claus and Frosty and Rudolph! And who's gonna help him "hang his stocking with care"? " he sniffled.
" I'm sure the Ouji will manage. He's got 6 other people living in that house with him. His FAMILY will do that job
for you, Goku. "
" That's BULMA'S family Chi-chan. Veggie's family's all, all, *sniffle*, dead! " Goku's eyes began to water at the
thought of it, " I'm the only other saiyajin left! And it IS the season of GIVING, right? "
" ... " Chi-Chi sighed, " I'm gonna hate myself for this in the morning. " she said to herself, " Alright Goku. You
have 5 minutes to see the Ouji. "
" An hour. "
" WHAT--NO!! " she snapped, then thought for a moment, " Half hour. "
" 45 minutes. "
" 25 minutes. "
" 35 minutes! "
" 20 minutes. "
" 23 minutes. "
" ...15? "
" 20! "
" *sigh*, done. " Chi-Chi shook his hand.
" It was fun haggling with you Chi-chan. " Goku said happily, then set his watch, " I will return in exactly 20
minutes! " he placed his two fingers on his forehead and teleported out of the room.
Chi-Chi sighed, " I hope I did the right thing just now. " she nodded, then looked up, " AND YOU BETTER NOT SCREW
THIS UP OUJI!!! "
" I'M HEERRRREEE!!! " Goku said happily, teleporting into one of Capsule Corp's many many hallways, " O little Veggie
? Are you in here? " he poked his head around the hallway only to see a ladder with a little lump heaped on the side of it.
Goku walked over to it only to discover the lump was infact the person he'd been looking for, " VEGGIE! " he grinned warmly,
floating up, " _HIII_ VEGGIE! "
" ... " Vegeta just lay there with his eyes closed.
" Veggie? " Goku said, conserned, " VEGGIE'S _DEAD_!! " he bawled.
" *YAWWWWWN*! " Vegeta opened his mouth widely, stretched his arms a bit, then returned to his drooping position on
the ladder. Goku sweatdropped.
" OH! Veggie's just sleeping! " he patted the ouji on the head, " Who's a good little Veggie! YOU ARE! "
" ZZzzzZzzz.... " Vegeta snored quietly.
Goku pouted, " This isn't much fun. " he said as he waddled around the ladder in a circle, " What is little Veggie
doing asleep on a ladder anyway! " the larger saiyajin looked around and paused when he noticed a gigantic hole cut in the
ceiling. Inside the hole sat a mallet just big enough to squeeze through. Goku grinned, " OHHHH, little Veggie is plotting
something. I see. " he turned to the sleeping ouji, " And you did so much work you thought you'd take a nap! " Goku clasped
his hands together, then saw Vegeta was still wearing the mistletoe wreath around his head. Goku grinned, then quietly
tip-toed up the ladder and layed over the steps of the ladder, squeezing next to Vegeta. He did his best to keep from
bursting into giggle-fits, then whispered quietly into Vegeta's ear, " Mistletoe. "
Vegeta's eyes flew open to see Goku grinning at him; an air of panic hanging over him. The ouji felt an itch on his
cheek and went to rub it only to remove his glove and find a layer of drool seaping into it, " AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! "
he shrieked in horror and lept of the ladder, Goku laughing at him and trying to to fall off the ladder himself. He watched
Vegeta wildly run into the bathroom, turn the sink on, and remain locked inside for the next 20 minutes. Goku had gotten
bored waiting and wandered down the hall, back, and finally decided on sitting down infront of the closed bathroom door.
Vegeta emerged from the bathroom with a sheer look of disgust on his face and a very shiny, clean left cheek.
" VEGGIE'S BACK! " a voice chirped from below him. Vegeta looked down at Goku and glared angrily. Goku thought for a
moment, then smiled, " Hey! I'm underneath Veggie again! " he said happily. Vegeta folded his arms, then sweatdropped to see
the other saiyajin pointing at the wreath, " MISTLETOE!!! "
" IIPE! " Vegeta backed up and slammed the door shut.
" Aw, nuts. " Goku snorted, then rested his hand on his cheek, bordom setting in again, " VEGGIE OPEN UP!! "
" Not until you are standing again. " Vegeta said flatly.
Goku shrugged, confused; then did so. Vegeta opened the door slightly to check and make sure Goku was standing up.
" Hmph. " he nodded and stepped out of the bathroom, still glaring at Goku. Vegeta pointed to the mistletoe-wreath
around his head, " I should CHOKE you with this for what you've just done!...but seeing as through that would wreck my entire
future I will merely avoid falling asleep around you for the next 2 days. "
" If Veggie doesn't want his little mistletoe-wreath can I have it? " Goku asked curiously, then grinned, " I'm so
much bigger than everyone else that I'll get lotsa kisses! "
" Lovely. " Vegeta sarcastically remarked, " NO you may NOT have it because it is also part of my well-thought-out
scheme that has been aided by our two fusions to bring it up to a level of perfection! If all goes accordingly I CANNOT
LOSE! " he boasted.
" Cannot lose what? " Goku cocked his head. Vegeta froze.
" Uhh, nothing! Heh-heh-heh! " he laughed nervously.
" Fusions; does that mean Ji-chan and Goggie are here? " Goku smiled.
" Yes Kakarrotto. They greeted me upon my arrival by singing Christmas carols....on the wrong side of the door. "
Vegeta said dryly, sweatdropping.
" ...OH! So you opened the door from the outside and Ji-chan and Goggie sang to you from the inside! " Goku said.
" Hai....only somebody with YOUR genetic makeup would do something so--- "
" --COOL!! "
" --idiotic. " Vegeta finished his sentence after Goku's interuption, " How long were you with them today anyway!
They were acting so Kaka-ish by the time I saw them it took a good several hours before they're brains started working
again. "
" Oh, you mean they're acting all Veggie-like now. " Goku giggled.
" "Veggie-like". " Vegeta sweatdropped.
" "Kaka-ish"! " Goku countered, grinning. An even larger sweatdrop appeared on the side of Vegeta's head, " OH! "
Goku's eyes lit up, " I came to give Veggie his credit card back! " he said handing the card over.
" Thank you Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said, putting the card back in his pocket, " So, I assume you've finished shopping
for me? "
" Mmm-hmm Mmm-hmm Mmm-hmm! " Goku nodded childishly, " Veggie's gonna LOVE all the neat stuff I got him! "
" Kakarrotto, by the way, " Vegeta smirked, " If you DID happen to get me the egg nog in your bundle of gifts, " he
narrowed his eyes, " Remember to put it in the fridge until you're ready to come over here tommorow; it'll spoil. "
" Aww, don't worry about THAT little Veggie! My room's so cold there's sheets of ice forming on the window-panes
anyway! " Goku shrugged it off, then paused at the temporarily sympathetic look on the ouji's face, " The heating system
isn't working on the second floor; where my room is, so instead I'm just using lots and lots of blankets for my bed.
Sometimes I have to put my pillows in the microwave just to keep 'um from freezing at night. " he nodded throughtfully.
" *Sniffle*. "
" Veggie? " Goku looked down at the ouji, who now had on a normal veggie-look on his face, " You oh-kay? "
" I'm fine, Kakarrotto-chan. " Vegeta replied.
" Cuz you sounded like you were getting ready to cry there-- "
" --I SAID I'M FINE! " Vegeta snapped at him, " You know, if you want, I could, umm, fix up a room for you to sleep
in tonight. So you won't have to, MICROWAVE your pillows to keep them warm, you understand. " he stammered slightly, avoiding
eye-contact.
" Oh little Veggie I would LOVE to campout in your room tonight with you! " Goku clasped his hands together.
Vegeta froze, " WHA--WHA--_MY_ ROOM!! I NEVER SAID _MY_ RO-- "
" --but I can't. I made a deal with Chi-chan that I'd only visit you for 20 minutes until we come to see you on
Christmas day. " Goku frowned.
" WHAT! ONNA CAN'T DO THAT TO YOU! HOW DARE YOU LET HER DICTATE HOW MUCH TIME YOU CAN SPEND WITH ME!! SHE'S YOUR WIFE
ISN'T SHE!! IT'S _SUPPOSED_ TO BE AN EQUAL RELATIONSHIP!! ONNA'S NOT YOU'RE RULER!! " Vegeta yelled at him.
" But Veggie, I gotta listen to Chi-chan. She knows what's good for me. At least, that's what she says. " Goku
blinked. Vegeta shook his head in response. The larger saiyajin bent down to Vegeta's height and grinned impishly, " Don't
tell Chi-chan though, she said I wasn't allowed to give you two of the presents I bought you but I wrapped 'um up anyway and
packed 'um both away in a box with something else I bought you. " he giggled.
" Ahh, a *secret* present? " Vegeta smirked.
" Uh-huh! " Goku nodded eagerly, " SECRET!! "
" And I bet whatever it is you got is something Onna consideres too personal to give to ME. " he snickered, " Maybe
some intentionally innocent gift underlying a deeper subconsious need its giver is unaware of? "
" Huh? " Goku cocked his head. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Forget it, Kakarrot. " the ouji said dryly.
" What did Veggie get ME for Christmas? " Goku asked sweetly, " Something special and magical and full of Veggie-ness
I hooooope? "
" ... " Vegeta's face glowed bright red and he laughed nervously, " I, I, I, I, " he reached up and slapped himself
across the face, " I can't tell you THAT! It's a secret, baka! " he snapped at Goku.
" Why, why, why, why, why not? " Goku said with a grin, mocking the ouji's previous nervousness. Vegeta narrowed his
eyes at him.
" BECAUSE THEN IT WON'T BE A SURPRISE!!! " Vegeta screamed, then calmed down, " Kakarrotto, why won't YOU tell me
what presents YOU bought for ME! "
" Because it would ruin little Veggie's surprise when he sees them. " Goku responded.
" Good, well THAT is the EXACT SAME REASON I won't tell YOU YOUR gifts! " he exclamied.
" Ohhh... " Goku pouted, " SO! Can I help little Veggie cut his holes in the ceiling? "
" As a matter of fact, you can! " Vegeta grinned, handing Goku a saw, " They all need to be the same size. I want
one in the floor 5 feet that way. " he pointed ahead of them.
" YAY! " Goku dashed over to the spot, " I'm helpin Veggie! Saw a hole in-the-floor! " he sang, then put the saw into
the floor once.
" *BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*!! "
Goku's face fell in disappointment, " Ohhhhh....I gotta go now. " he sniffled, standing up.
" What? What do you mean you have to leave NOW! " Vegeta said.
" Chi-chan'll be mad at me if I don't go home now. Besides I can't break my promise. I never break my promises
Veggie. " Goku shook his head.
" But Kakarro-- " Vegeta started to complain only to have Goku walk up to the little ouji, grab and hug him.
" Bye-bye little bity buddy Veggie-chan. " Goku hugged him tightly, " I have to leave now but I promise I will be
here first thing tommorow morning, AND I'll have your presents with me! " he smiled down at the prince.
" But Kaka-- " Vegeta started up again.
" --shh! Veggie gonna make me late, don't do that! " Goku let go of him and prepared to teleport, " Merry Christmas
Eve little Veggie! " he waved, then teleported away. Vegeta sighed.
" Poor Kakay. All alone in his cold room with his microwaved pillows and his freezing sheets and mean 'ol Onna
ordering him around. WELL THAT WON'T BE A REALITY FOR LONG!! " Vegeta said determinedly as he grabbed the saw Goku had from
before and continued making the hole, " NOT WHILE _I'M_ AROUND!!! "
" I HAVE RETURNED! " Goku announced heroically as he teleported back into his living room only to be presented with a
rather large candy cane.
" Here you are Go-chan! " Chi-Chi smiled at him, holding out the candy cane.
" AHH! " Goku shrieked with joy, grabbed the candy cane, and stuffed half of it in his mouth, " MMMmmmMMmmmm,
PEP-permint. " he grinned.
" I'm so proud of you making it back on time! " Chi-Chi gave him a kiss, " How DID you make it back on time? " she
asked, " I was SURE that Ouji would try and keep you there all day! "
" O, Veggie was sleeping on a ladder when I got there. " Goku nodded.
" ...why? " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow, " No, wait, I don't WANT to know why. " she said, disgusted.
" Umm, I think he's helping Bulma renovate the house for Christmas. I never really got to find out ALL the details
from little Veggie. " Goku explained, " I gave him a lil mistletoe-smoochie on the cheek to wake him up and all he did was
shriek in terror, run into the bathroom, and wasted a good chunk of or Christmas Eve buddy-time trying to wash my
"kaka-germs" off. Veggie looked so cute sleepin there. "
" Then you should've just LET him sleep! NOW he's probably causing all SORTS of horrible terrible Ouji-stuff! " she
complained.
" Ouji-stuff! " Goku chirped, repeating her, " I asked Veggie if I could have his mistletoe-wreath but he wouldn't
let me. " he frowned, " And it was such a nice wreath too. I don't get why he'd wear that if he doesn't like being smooched."
" Who knows Goku, there is a method to his madness, but I have absolutely NO desire to find out WHAT that would be--"
Chi-Chi rattled off, then froze suddenly, " WAIT, did you just say "smooched"? "
" Yeah. " Goku nodded, then grinned, " I think little Veggie's embarassed about getting smooched but maybe he just
likes the way the little wreath looks on his head! "
" YOU "SMOOCHED" THE OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi screamed.
Goku looked at her, slightly frightened, " Um, yes? " he laughed nervously, looking away, " But, but I WAS under the
mistletoe since Veggie WAS on the ladder above me and it was kinda like "Sleeping Beauty" only I smooched Veggie on the cheek
instead of, well, you know, heh-heh-heh. " he put his arm behind his head, a little pink blush line over his nose.
" ... " Chi-Chi's shoulders slumped down at her sides. She shook her head slowly, turned around, and walked out of
the room.
" Hey, Chi-chan where're you going? " Goku asked curiously.
" I'm going to take a nice long nap and when I wake up everything will be all back to normal... " Chi-Chi said in a
weak voice.
" Umm, oh-kay. " Goku scratched his head, " Sweet dreams Chi-chan! " he said, then stuck his candy cane back in his
mouth, " Mmm, sweet-n-minty! "
" Sleep, that's all I need. Just a liiiiittle bit of sleep and I'll easily wipe all these most recent terrible
incidences from my mind. Goku's safe. The Ouji can't harm him here. " she said as she got into bed and pulled the sheets up,
" And Go-chan PROMISED me to stay here until tommorow when we got to deliver the presents to everyone; and he ALWAYS keeps
his promises... "
Goku smiled at her from behind as he tip-toed into the room holding a little bundle of mistletoe over his head just
as Chi-Chi's eyes closed shut. He giggled to himself.
" Goku... " Chi-Chi mumbled in her sleep. Goku instantly covered his mouth with his free hand and froze, " Where are
you... "
:::" Where are you! Everyone is looking all over for you! " Chi-Chi scholded him as she wandered around the living
room of Capsule Corp, angrily. The rest of the gang were standing outside getting ready to go carolling, " GOKU! "
" I'm so sorry, " a familiar voice chuckled smoothly from around her, " It looks like he won't be able to make it. "
Chi-Chi looked over her shoulder, narrowing her eyes. She turned back around and shrieked to see Vegeta standing
infront of her, smirking more evilly than usual. The ouji was wearing the deep ruby red robe Goku had shown Chi-Chi not even
an hour ago. He also had the mistletoe wreath around his head.
" You see, Kakarrotto has other arrangements that are MUCH more important than you are. " Vegeta boasted, " I'm very
glad he bought me the egg-nog I was asking for, that will make it SO much more enjoyable. "
" Why you little-- " Chi-Chi growled, then thrust her fist into his face only to have it go right through him like a
hologram. Chi-Chi blinked in confusion.
" Yep, quite a shame you're such a jerk. Maybe Kakay would've reconsidered remaining under your unjust rule if you
hadn't made me so wildly tempting as opposed to you. Kakarrotto-chan finds his alternative to be so VERY sweet. Maybe Kakay
and I will even get a chance to try out those nice sheets and mittens Kakay bought 'us'. " Vegeta calmly rattled off while
Chi-Chi continued to slug right through him.
" WHY, CAN'T, I, HIT YOU!!! " she snarled, stopping to catch her breath.
" Because, Onna, it is our DESTINY!! " the small saiyajin clenched his fist in determination, " You cannot alter
destiny. "
Meanwhile on the outside of Chi-Chi's dream, Goku was attempting to hang his little mistletoe bush above her head
while levetating himself above the bed.
" MY GO-CHAN WOULD _NEVER_ JOIN YOUR 'EVIL' SIDE, OUJI!! " Chi-Chi snapped out loud in her sleep. Goku glanced down
at her, shrugged happily, and went back to screwing in the mistletoe until it neatly hung from a string screwed into the
wall. He floated back to check on his work.
" What are you talking about, Onna? " Vegeta laughed, " He already has. "
" Huh? " Chi-Chi blinked.
" Oh Kakarrotto-chan! " the ouji called up the stairs at the door to his room. The door shyly opened and the larger
saiyajin stepped out wearing a pink princess costume.
" V-sama? " he said cautiously, looking around, then squealed to see the little ouji downstairs, " VEGGIE! " Goku
lept at the ouji and where in reality his weight would've knocked Vegeta over the ouji caught Goku in his arms instead, " OH
V-sama I am so happy to see you! You were gone for a whole 20 seconds! I got scared. " he sniffled.
" HA! Give me a break. " Chi-Chi snorted. Goku looked around, surprised.
" Hey Veggie did you hear that? "
Chi-Chi face-faulted, " DID HE HEAR THAT! I'M STANDING RIGHT OVER HERE! WHAT DO YOU THINK!! "
" Kakarrotto can't see you, Onna. " Vegeta chuckled, " You're a thing of the past, whereas _I_ am a thing of the
future. Kakay's future. Now if you'll excuse us, we're going into the kitchen for some of that delicious egg-nog Kakay so
GRACIOUSLY bought me. " the ouji took Goku's arm and escorted him out of the room, leaving a fuming Chi-Chi in the living
room.
" OOOH! HOW DARE YOU! YOU COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE THIEF!! " she ran into the kitchen, only to freeze when she
realized there was nothing beneath her. The entire kitchen was one huge black abyss with the exception of a small flying
saucer floating several stories above her. Vegeta and Goku were grinning and sitting ontop of it, Vegeta with a glass of
egg-nog in a fancy cup and Goku chugging from the egg-nog carton.
" Bye-bye Chi-chan! " he waved as Chi-Chi swam up towards them.
" Yes, "bye-bye", Onna. " Vegeta cackled, then grabbed the larger saiyajin and dipped him just as Chi-Chi got up to
the edge of the ufo, " Kakarrotto-chan, " the ouji smirked, " Mistletoe. " he puckered up just as Chi-Chi drew back her fist
and blindsided Vegeta, knocking him off the saucer.:::
" HA! TAKE THAT YOU EVIL ROTTEN LITTLE OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi shot up in bed, laughing victoriously. It was then she
realized she was still in her bed. A feeling of confusion wafted over her and a pained groan was heard over the side of the
bed. Chi-Chi peeked over and gasped to see Goku twitching on the floor with a large bruise on his cheek.
" Why is it that everytime I try to smooch somebody I always get hurt... " he groaned weakly as his head fell back.
" GOKU! " Chi-Chi gasped as she got up and helped him to his feet, " Oh my poor Go-chan! Are you alright? " she asked
with consern.
" Yeah, it's just a little sting...I'm oh-kay.. " he laughed, rubbing his cheek, " Boy it's a good thing you're not
super-strong like Veggie...you would've knocked my entire JAW off! "
Chi-Chi shivered at the thought, " Thank God for that. " she looked over his cheek, " Goku, what were you doing! "
The larger saiyajin grinned cheesily and pointed to the now swinging mistletoe that was hanging from the ceiling,
" "Sleeping Beauty". I, I thought you were a little jealous that you didn't get a sleeping-smooch like Veggie did and that's
why you were upset so I decided I could give you a *special* smooch to make up for it and help you feel better. " Goku
explained, worried about her.
A smile appeared on Chi-Chi's face, " OH GO-CHAN! " she flung her arms around him, " You WOULDN'T leave me, would
you! "
" ...leave you for what? " Goku blinked.
" THE OUJI!! " Chi-Chi snapped at him.
" Oh....why would I go live with Veggie, Chi-chan? " Goku cocked an eyebrow, " It's not like you're DEAD or
something. " he laughed.
" Uh, heh-heh-heh, yeah, "dead", me, right. " Chi-Chi nervously chuckled along with him, " But, but maybe that dream
was a good sign. I DID punch the Ouji, and he DID fall off that spaceship. " her smile widened, " This must be some sign from
above telling me that I'm getting closer to completely stopping that horrible horrible "princess kakay" future FOREVER! I
slugged him even before he got to kiss you! "
" Excuse me? " Goku squeaked out, his cheeks now flushed pink.
" But you were still wearing that disgusting oujo costume, that means I still have work left to do. " Chi-Chi said to
herself as she began to pace the floor, " It was like an intersection between the present and that soon-to-be-alternate
future! " she whipped around, grinned at Goku, " Go-chan do you understand! "
" Umm, not really. " Goku shook his head.
" IT MEANS I'VE GOT A REALLY REALLY GOOD CHANCE OF SAVING YOU! " she hugged him tightly.
" What happened AFTER you knocked Veggie off the ufo, Chi-chan? " Goku asked.
Chi-Chi froze and sweatdropped, " Umm, I don't really know. That's when I woke up. "
" ... "
" ... "
An awkward silence exchanged between the couple.
" But that's oh-kay! " Chi-Chi piped up, " I think I'm feeling better now. " she changed out of her slippers and into
her shoes, " Come on Go-chan, I'll go make us some hot chocolate! "
" YAY! " Goku cheered happily, dashing out after her, " With little marshmellows in 'um too? "
" Haha, as many 'little marshmellows' as you like, Goku! " she said happily, " Heck, you can have all the 'little
marshmellows' in the house if we can find 'um all. "
Goku grinned excitedly, " I LOVE YOU CHI-CHAN! And MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE to us! "
" Does either of the little fusion-babies want another cookie? " Bura said sweetly as she sat at her play-table with
an agitated Vejitto and a grinning, full-of-cookie-dough, Gogeta. Both saiyajins were dressed up in baby-clothes and sitting
in high-chairs. Vejitto in a light green and Gogeta in a light red.
" I DO I DO I DO!! " Gogeta waved his arm in the air, then let out a belch.
Bura held out another cookie, then took it away at the last second, " Who's the baby? " she teased.
" I'M THE BABY I'M THE BABY!! " Gogeta said happily, still waving his arms in the air and his eyes locked on the
cookie. Bura pushed the cookie halfway into his mouth and rubbed him on the head.
" And does Jiji-chan want a cookie toooo? " Bura said to Vejitto, who only folded his arms in embarassment.
" I will NOT sit in this baby-chair wearing these clothes and BEG YOU IN BABY-TALK FOR FOOD! " Vejitto snapped, his
face flushing red.
" If he doesn't want it I'll take his cookie. " Gogeta offered, still hungry. Bura ignored him, " Hel-looo? BUU-rah!
Cookie, my mouth, my stomach, I'm hungry.... " he said, trying to get her attention. Bura grinned evilly at him and the
younger fusion got the message. His expression mirrored his brothers, " Nuh-uh! I'm tired'a talking like a baby. I think it
lowers my brain funktion. "
" Function. " Vejitto corrected him.
" SEE! IT'S HAPPENING ALREADY!! " Gogeta exclaimed, " And I have THREE BRAINS! That's a little HARD to do! "
" Where do you keep them all? " Vejitto blinked in surprise. Gogeta sweatdropped and smirked.
" 'Your kaka-genes are showing'. " Gogeta snickered, repeating Vegeta's snide remark about the younger fusion earlier
in the day.
" ...DOH! " Vejitto cringed when he realized what he'd done.
" Hahahaha! " Gogeta laughed and pointed at him.
Vejitto blew a raspberry in Gogeta's direction only to have both of them silenced by Bura who stuck two pacifiers in
their mouths. Both fusion-babies sat there for a moment, stunned and confused, then glared at Bura and powered up to ssj,
busting open their high-chairs.
" HEY! WHERE'RE YOU GOING!! " Bura snapped at them. Vejitto tossed the pacifier out of his mouth. Gogeta took his
off and held it inbetween his fingers.
" We're leaving. " Gogeta nodded, " Mommy and Daddy are right. If I want cookies I'll just go get some out of the
kitchen like a NORMAL person. "
" But GO-GEEE!! " Bura pleaded with him while Vejitto got changed back into his gi in the background, " You looked so
cute in your little red outfit. "
Gogeta refused to comment and grabbed his own gi.
" Heh-heh-heh, red? I thought it was pink. " Vejitto snickered. Gogeta hmmphed in reply.
" Ji-chan! Ji-chan not you too! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!!! " Bura began to panic while Vejitto stuffed his
boots back on.
" We're tired of playing like this, it's embarassing! I'm only 7 months old but MY BODY'S SOMEWHERE BETWEEN KAASAN
AND TOUSSAN'S AGES!!! " Vejitto exclaimed, then paused for a moment, " Whatever those may be. "
Bura fell over.
" 44.5. " Gogeta said off the top of his head.
" What? " Vejitto cocked an eyebrow.
Gogeta sighed, then Vegeta's voice spoke up, " I was born in 732. Kakarrotto was born in 737. The current year, if
this is indeed the same year we defeated Majin Buu in that would make THIS year 774. Subtracted by both our birth years you
would get the numbers 42 and 47 even though Kakarrotto and I appear in our late 20's by human standards. Adding our ages
together and dividing by 2 gives the approximate age of both the fusion-babies if indeed their age is determined the same
way as their physical and mental features. "
" Wow... " Vejitto said, dumbfounded.
" HOLY MACARONI! TOUSSAN AND KAKARROUJO ARE REALLY _THAT_ _OLD_!! " Bura gawked. Both Goku & Vegeta mentally
sweatdropped from inside Gogeta, " I HAD NO IDEA!! " she turned to Vejitto, " How come YOU didn't know that!! "
" I only have a copy of their memories, not their actual SELVES inside me like HE does. " Vejitto grumbled.
" Now that THAT'S taken care of, " Vegeta let go his hold on the body, causing Gogeta's expression to blank out. He
looked around, confused, trying to remember why he was in Bura's room, " ...COOKIE! " he shouted happily, then paused and
grinned cheesily as it all came rushing back to him, " Heh-heh, heh. " Gogeta stuck the green pacifier Bura had given him
back in his mouth and innocently walked out of the room, back in his gi.
" ...WHAT WAS THAT!! " Bura gawked for the second time.
" Oh, since he didn't get killed like I did, he's still got Toussan & Kaasan's fused souls inside him...they kinda
take-over his body at random times. I'm not sure if he remembers anything that happens when he's not in control. " Vejitto
nodded. Bura's eyes widened and she backed away from him, a pale look on her face. Vejitto walked over to her and grabbed the
cookie out of her hand, " _I'LL_ be taking this. " he grinned, then stuffed it in his mouth and ate it as he left Bura's
room and went out after Gogeta.
" WOW! I really gotta hand it to you Goggie! You put HER in her place! Stumped her good too! " he grinned, then
noticed Gogeta at the edge of the stairs, staring upward, " ...what are you looking at? " Vejitto glanced at him and
sweatdropped to see Gogeta still had the pacifier in his mouth.
" Someone's coming. " Gogeta said, narrowing his eyes at the ceiling.
" Huh? " Vejitto blinked, then put his ear to the ground. His eyes widened as he heard 16 thumps on the roof-top,
" Strange. " he said, now also on the alert.
" HOHOHO! " a jolly voice that was only picked up by the saiyajins sensitive ears was heard.
Gogeta's pacifier fell out of his mouth and hit the floor as the realization hit them.
" It's Santa Claus... " both fusions said at once.
" AHHHHHHHHH!!!! " Gogeta squealed, " IT'S SANTA IT'S SANTA IT'S SANTA! THE _REAL_ SANTA! "
" Not some cheap imitation dressed up like him like Mirai was at the mall! " Vejitto added happily, then froze, " Oh
no...WE FORGOT TO MAKE LISTS!! "
" ACK! " Gogeta yelped, then quickly recovered, " That's oh-kay, Santa knows everybody and I'm sure he left us
SOMEthing! "
" You mean is GOING to leave us something. " Vejitto smirked, " BUT, just to make sure he DOES, let's-hide-under-the-
-stairs!!! "
" YAY! " Gogeta cheered. The brothers dashed down the stairs and then underneath them, lowering their ki as they did
so.
" HOHOHO! What a tight squeeze! " Santa said as he slid down the Capsule Corp chimney and landed in the living room
across from the tree and the stairs. The two awe-struck fusion grinned from their hiding places as they watched him lug his
pile of toys and presents into the room.
" When he goes to get his cookies and milk, let's attack him! " Vejitto rubbed his hands together.
" Coooookies? " Gogeta mused, clasping his hands together, " Yeahhhhh, I'M THE BABY!--IPE! " he yelped as Vejitto
slapped his hand over Gogeta's mouth.
" I swear she's got you trained say that now! " Vejitto groaned, a vein bulging on his forehead, " I never liked
Bura...not the first time I met her, and certainly not THIS time. " he shook his head.
" You know what _I_ want for Christmas, Vejitto? " Gogeta asked quietly, smiling.
" Uh, not really. " Vejitto replied, scratching his head.
" I think I might know what he's thinking of. " a third voice said, tapping him on the shoulder. The fusions turned
around and screamed in terror.
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

END OF PART 3!
Chuquita: (cheering) YAY YAY YAY! I finished it BEFORE Christmas! (toots little horn) (grins) I'm so proud. (scratches her
head) Something tells me there's probably going to be 5 chapters to this thing. I don't wanna go through that "over 100kb"
thing that happened at the end of "King Me!" (shudders) And besides this is the Christmas Special. It's oh-kay if it's longer
than normal, right?
Vegeta: (nods) Yes. We all know who the third person is though, don't we.
Chuquita: (narrows her eyes) Oh hush! It could be a lotta different people, YOU only know because I know!
Goku: (grins) Chu-sama's got a point there Veggie!
Vegeta: (sticks his tongue out) Beh.
Chuquita: I dunno, I kinda like the "screaming" cliffhanger myself.
Goku: Heehee, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH---mmph!
Vegeta: [slaps his hand over Son's mouth] Don't, Kakarrotto. We'd rather not listen to you scream at the top of your lungs.
Goku: (pouts) Aww, come on Veggie. It is ~*CHRISTMAS EVE*~. It's the season to be all nice and happy and warm and soft to
your only 'peasant'. Don't you wanna be *nice* to me?
Vegeta: ... (mildly glowing red) Uhhh....
Chuquita: Yeah Vedge, where's your 'christmas spirit'?
Vegeta: (snaps) THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
Goku: Veggie likes the little veggie-shirt I got him though, right?
Vegeta: (smiles at the tank-top he's wearing) As a matter of fact, I like it VERY much.
Goku: AWWW! (hugs Veggie tightly) YOU ARE WELCOME LITTLE VEGGIE!
Vegeta: (glowing) ....heh-heh...yes, I am.....
Chuquita: So what'd you get Son-kun for Christmas, Veggie?
Vegeta: (freezes in place)
Goku: Hai! Veggie said he was going to give me my present after the chapter.
Vegeta: (glowing brighter) I, I, I didn't say THAT! When did I say that!
*Flashback*
FlashbackGoku: Veggie got a present for MEEEEEEE? (big sparkily eyes)
FlashbackVegeta: (face starts to glow) Yes-but-I'll-give-it-to-you-after-the-chapter-oh-kay?
*End Flashback*
Goku: I LOVE flashbacks, Chu-sama and Veggie!
Chuquita: (curious) I wonder where he put your present. (looking around)
Goku: (eagerly) I wonder what IS my present?
Vegeta: ...umm... [pulls out a wrapped box from under the desk] Here.
Goku: YAY!! [grabs the box and wildly unwraps it] OH-BOY-OH-BOY-OH-BOY!!! [lifts the cover up to expose a blue gi similiar to
the ones he wears in the very last couple of episodes (189-191)] OOooooOOOOoooh, IT'S PRETTY! [gi's t-shirt is white along
with sash, wristbands are yellow] Heeheehee, Veggie-colors! [zips off-camera; returns in 5 seconds wearing the new gi] I LIKE
IT!!
Vegeta: (glowing now mild) Well, you won't be so easily spotted at night like with your old one, but you won't get mistaken
for an escaped criminal and get thrown in jail either.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) (to Son) Was that a compliment?
Goku: (busy oohing and ahhing at his new gi) WOW! I don't remember the last time I wore a blue gi like this! (musing) It
must've been way way back even before I turned into a giant ape monster and accidentally stepped on Grampa Gohan!
[Veggie & Chu sweatdrop]
Goku: THANK YOU Veggie. I really like my present. (smiles) [hugs Veggie tightly]
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) Hehehehehhh.....
Chuquita: (chirps) AND there was no alterior motive involved in this one either!
Vegeta: (snorts) Hey don't ruin my moment! (turns to Son) Tighter, Kakay.
Goku: K! (squeezes tighter)
Vegeta: (chuckles until suddenly yelps in pain)
Goku: (gulps) Uh-oh.
Chuquita: (conserned) I hope you didn't break anything that we can't put back together.
Goku: (worried) Little buddy are you alright?
Vegeta: (squeaks out) Yes....I'm fine....really... (faints)
Goku: (gasps) VEGGIE! [looks around and then decidedly places the ouji back in his chair] (nervous laugh) Heh-heh-heh, he's
fine, really he is....RIGHT? (looks over at Chu)
Chuquita: Is his ki still there?
Goku: (checks, sighs in relief) Uh-huh. (happily) Little Veggie is still A-live and kicking!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Thank God, I can't imagine what we would've done if he wasn't.
Goku: [while patting Veggie on the head] So, what did Chu-sama get for Christmas?
Chuquita: Christmas is tommorow, so I really don't know yet. I made a list though; new cd/radio player, new Kirby game,
either a you or Veggie plushie, new cordless phone to replace the old one in my room (thinks of countless time she's
accidentally knocked phone over because of its short cord), that new shounen jump, a dvd player, "Sherman's Lagoon" book I
saw in borders, and "the clapper".
Goku: (singing) Clap on *clap-clap*, Clap off *clap-clap*. Clap on Clap off! *clap-clap-clap*.
Chuquita: (grins) I love those commercials. Anyways, I'm pretty sure I'm getting the first two, I have no idea about the
plushies, I MIGHT get the phone, I subscibed to shounen jump so that'll be here in about a month, I know I got the dvd player
(I peeked in the room with the presents--bad me) I think I got the book, and I might have got the clapper. (shrugs)
Goku: (happily) We will find out tommorow thought, won't we!
Chuquita: (just as happy) Yes we will! (to audiance) Son-kun, Veggie (though unconsious), and I would like to take this time
to wish you all a Happy Holiday, whatever you celebrate I hope you have a good one, and get everything you asked for. Keep
yourselves in good health everybody! Happy Holidays!!

Chuquita: (correction) Happy New Year.
Goku: (cheerfully) THAT TOO!
Vegeta: (sits up, woozy) Merry Christmas too all and to all a good..night... (falls back into his chair again)

Quote of the Week: -from dbz 191 "The Fight is Over! Thank You Son Goku"
{Vegeta:} Those peasants! What do they think they can do?
Chuey's Corner:
Goku: (happily) LOTS of things!
Chuquita: (humoring him) Really? Like what?
Goku: (ready to burst into song) Weeeeelllllll, we CAN---mmph! [glob of a large blue t-shirt is stuffed in his mouth]
(muffled) Hey! [looks down to see Veggie wearing one of Son's blue gi t-shirts in place of his missing tank top; shirt is WAY
too big for him] (eyes widened like two big saucers)
Vegeta: (threateningly) PLEASE. DON'T start singing random things off the top of your head. I'm cold, freezing, and I also am
getting a very large headache. So do me a favor and avoid making my brain a more miserable blob that sits inside my head. Ok?
Goku: ... (squeals) AAAAHHHHHHHH!!! LOOKIT-LITTLE-VEGGIE-WEARING-MY-GI-SHIRT-THAT'S-TOO-BIG-FOR-HIM-AND-YOU-LOOK-SO-CUUUUTE!!
[wiggling his fingers back and forth itchily] LET-ME-HOLD-YOU!!!
Vegeta: (frozen in place) Uhhhh... [takes two steps back, bright red glow beginning to seep into his face] Muh--maybe using
one of Kakarrotto's shirts as a replacement was a...bad choice.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops at Son) No kidding.
Goku: (grinning widely) (hops out of his chair and starts sneaking slowly towards Veggie) Come'ere lil Veggie, I won't hurt
you.
Vegeta: (laughs nervously) Uh, heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-- [spins around ready to run off only to have Son teleport infront of
Veggie & hug him] YIPE!
Goku: WHEE! [spins Veggie around several times until the little ouji is dizzy] [carries Veggie back over to the desk and sits
him down on his lap] Heeheehee, silly little buddy! [plops a wrapped box infront of him] I gotcha a present!
Vegeta: (still dizzy) Who-wahhh?
Chuquita: (to Son) He looks a little queasy.
Goku: Aw, don't worry about Veggie. He has a VERY strong stomach! [pats Veggie on the stomach, only to freeze in place as
Veggie's cheeks instantly bloat up with his breakfast]
Vegeta: (covers his mouth with his hands and disorientedly jumps off Goku's lap and over to the side of the set where he
promptly throws up) BLEH-HEH-HEH-HEHHHHH!! Ohhhh.... [rubs his mouth] Yuck!
Goku: (teleports next to Veggie with the present) (eagerly) Here! Open it open it!!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Alright! I'll open it. Calm down Kakarrotto. [slowly starts to open the present]
Goku: (eagerly bounces up & down) Eh! Eh!
Vegeta: (still unwrapping)
Goku: (bounces; foam now dripping from mouth) EH! EH!
Vegeta: [holds present up; shakes it lightly]
Goku: (loud as possible) JUST OPEN IT ALREADY!!!!!
Vegeta: (eyes bulging out of their sockets) [rubs his ears in pain] Hmph! (snorts at Son, who's grinning psychotically) Ruin
my moment will you Kakarrotto. (rolls his eyes) [rips open the present and holds up a navy tank top similar to his training
one that he lost] (smiles) HEY, _THANKS_ Kakarrot-- [Son latches onto him, smiling ear-to-ear] --to.
Goku: I KNEW VEGGIE'D LOVE IT! [zips back over to his eager spot and starts bouncing again]
Vegeta: (blinks) NOW what are you waiting for?
Goku: -TRY-IT-ON!!
Vegeta: [takes off the gi shirt and puts the present shirt on] (smirks) Wow, it fits.
Goku: Heehee! Read the back.
Vegeta: Back? [glances over his shoulder to see the words "Little Buddy" written in gold letters on the back of the tank top]
(sweatdrops) Yes, this is definately something only YOU would buy for me Kakarrotto.
Goku: (flattered) Aww, Veggie I didn't buy it. I *MADE* it. ALL BY MYSELF! Here read the card! [holds out an envelope]
Vegeta: [opens the envelope titled "Veggie" and opens the card] (reading) "To my favorite little ouji," (to Son) How many
OTHER oujis do you know? (cocks suspicous eyebrow)
Goku: (shrugs) None. You're it.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) (back to reading) "To my favorite little ouji, I hope your Christmas is full of cheer, I hope you got
what you wanted this year, and if you didn't I'd get you some more, if only I weren't so awfully poor. Merry Christmas from
your (one & only) peasant and canahoii, "Kakarrotto" :)" [looks up at Son]
Goku: What I REALLY wanted to get little Veggie is this fancy new sleeping-bag at the "Sleep-o-Rama" store so he could sleep
over at my house and we could both have sleepovers in the gravity room but it was too much money. (sighs sadly) (perks up) So
I opted for the shirt instead!
Vegeta: (confused) A sleeping bag? How expensive could a SLEEPING BAG be?!
Goku: It had it's own heated water-matress thingy and a built-in stereo system. And it was made of silk.
Vegeta: (musing) Wow... (to Son) silk, huh?
Goku: I think.
Vegeta: (grinning; hugs Son) You DO care...
Goku: ... (blinks) YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) (instantly lets go) (nervous laughter) Heh-heh-heh....
Goku: Veggie got a present for MEEEEEEE? (big sparkily eyes)
Vegeta: (face starts to glow) Yes-but-I'll-give-it-to-you-after-the-chapter-oh-kay?
Goku: (cheers) HOO-RAY! (to Chu) I _LOVE_ Christmas, Chu-sama!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) (to herself) I thought they forgot about me. (turns to audiance) Introducing Part 3 of "Jingle Bells"!
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!
Chuquita: (to Son) With how much you talk we should call it "Goku's Corner"
Goku: (grins) REALLY?
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Not REALLY. I was just saying.
Vegeta: (smirks) I like "Kakay's Corner" better than "Goku's Corner" myself.
Goku: (giggles) How about "Lil Veggie's Happy Place!"
Vegeta: (embarassed) No thanks, Kakarrotto.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" MALLETS! _THAT'S_ YOUR "GRAND SCHEME"?! " Vegeta gawked in disbelief as he sat at a table in his room with the two
fusions.
" Uh-huh. " Gogeta nodded. Vejitto pulled two mallets even larger than Chi-Chi's out of one of the shopping bags.
" We bought these at the "Power Tools" store! " Vejitto grinned, twirling one of the mallets around like a baton.
" I see.. " the ouji frowned.
" What's wrong? " Vejitto blinked.
" I kind of thought that my own full-blooded offspring would at least be ALMOST as creatively-evil-minded as myself.
Hitting Onna over the head with mallets isn't very fulfilling. " Vegeta sighed.
" Heh-heh-heh, but that is where you're wrong, Toussan! " Gogeta grinned, " Me-n-Ji-chan have planned to randomly
attack Onna at various times of the day. Each of us will pick a different side of Capsule Corp and hide throughout it. Then,
when she least expects it, "WHAMMO!" " he made a pounding motion with his fist, " We'll pound her once. Just hard enough to
confuse her but not hard enough to kill her. If we do it enough times she'll eventually catch on and, as she has proven in
previous situations, become VERY VERY paranoid! I think that combined with your already thought-out "mistletoe" plan will be
enough to drive what's left of her sanity right out of her body! She'll be in the nut-house for life! "
" Well? " Vejitto said to their parent eagerly, " What do you think? Pretty smart for two people who's combined ages
don't even equal a year yet, huh? "
" ... " Vegeta sat there for a moment, blinking, " That....IS PURE GENIUS!! " he hugged both fusion babies at once.
Gogeta & Vejitto grinned at each other in accomplishment. Vegeta let them go, " Of course! Instead of merely TAUNTING Onna,
we'll drive her flat out INSANE! And if Onna's locked up in a mental ward somewhere babbling like an idiot that means I can
get my Kaka-servant-maid all that much faster! I WON'T EVEN HAVE TO WAIT FOR HER TO DIE BEFORE I WIN!! " tears of joy ran
down his cheeks.
" I DON'T like being refered to as a "servant-maid". " Goku's voice came out of Gogeta, mildly annoyed.
" Sure, sure Kakarrotto. " the ouji nodded happily, " My you hasn't even gotten the title back yet! " he then clasped
his hands together, " But he will soon! " Vegeta looked up at the younger fusion, " Say you wouldn't have an extra mallet in
there would you? "
Gogeta pulled out an even larger mallet and grinned, " Heehee, Veggie-size. " Goku's voice giggled.
" EEE... " Vegeta grabbed the mallet and swung it around a couple of times, " Heh-heh, Vejitto I forgot how much I
missed you! " he patted the older fusion on the shoulders, then looked over at the younger one, " And YOU, I am just as proud
of for envisioning the perfect evil plot! " Vegeta shook Gogeta's hand, then paused, " There wouldn't happen to be any more
of you "fusion babies", would there? Because after what you two have shown me I wouldn't mind another 4 or 5 or so. " he
looked around.
" Not unless you plan on making any from scratch. " Vejitto laughed nervously. Gogeta nodded in agreement.
Vegeta paled, " ...Oh. " he thought for a moment, then turned a green color, " Nevermind. I'd rather not. " he
quickly dismissed it.
" So? When IS Christmas anyway? " Gogeta asked, " I mean, I saw all the decorations but they've been up since after
Halloween so I'm not sure when-- "
" --tommorow. " Vegeta finished for him.
" TOMMOROW!!! " Gogeta yelped in shock, " ALREADY!!! "
" Yes, time flies, doesn't it. " the ouji folded his arms and nodded.
" Wow, tommorow... " Gogeta mumbled, " That's not much time is it? "
" Exactly! " the ouji pointed out, " And that's why we have to take advantage of the time we DO have and find some
decent hiding places for our plan tommorow. " he said, then smirked, " If it works out the why I'm hoping, we should have
the men in the white suits taking Onna away in a straight-jacket by late tommorow evening. " Vegeta looked at his watch.
" YEAH! " Vejitto cheered.
" And we can go visit her and make funny faces at her and point and laugh and-- " Gogeta trailed off only to find
Vejitto and Vegeta sweatdropping at him, " --what? "
" Your kaka-genes are showing. " Vegeta said flatly.
" Oh. " Gogeta's face flushed. He looked himself over, " Where? "
" ... " Vegeta smacked himself on the forehead, " He's so close....and yet so far... "
" Tired...so VERY tired. " Mirai groaned as he limped to his car in the mall parking lot, still in his santa suit,
" The only place THIS "santa" is going is hohohome. " he grumbled as he reached for the door to the car.
" LOOK IT'S SANTA! "
Mirai froze, his hand inches away from the door. He nervously looked over his shoulder to see a large group of
grinning little kids, " Umm, "Santa's" done for the day kids, come back another time oh-kay? " he said nervously.
" AHHHHH!!! " the kids responded by squealing and running at the car. Mirai gulped and panickingly started looking
for the car key on his key-chain.
" Come on! COME ON! WHERE IS IT?! " he muttered to himself, then felt a tug at his leg and froze.
" SANTA!!! "
" I knew I should've changed clothes in the bathroom before I left. " Mirai sweatdropped, then yelped as he was
tugged downward to the floor under the masses of screaming children.
" *YAWWWN*!! " Bura yawned as she sat up in bed. The little girl had been sleeping in all day so she would have
enough energy to stay awake while waiting for the real Santa to make his appearance, " What time is it? " she hopped out of
her bed and gasped to see the clock reading 12:40pm. Bura sweatdropped, changed into her normal clothes, grabbed two small
plush dolls off the counter next to her bed, and headed out the door, a toy in each hand.
" AHH! What a BEAUTIFUL day! " she said, stepping out into the hallway only to have a large glob of plaster fall on
her head. Bura reached up and wiped it off, " Eew! " she cringed, only to be hit a again; this time by a board, " OWW!! "
" Sorry Bura! " a voice with a pitch smack inbetween Goku & Vegeta's said from above her. Bura looked up to see
Vejitto cutting a hole in the ceiling.
" JI-CHAN!! " she squealed w/big sparkily eyes, " YOU CAME BACK!!....why are you cutting a hole in the ceiling. "
" It's all part of Goggie's "GRAND MASTER PLAN" to drive Chi-Chi insane and make her so mentally unstable we'll have
to send her to a real live crazy-house! " Vejitto grinned.
" An asylum? " Bura blinked.
" YEAH! "
" Aww, that's sweet of you! Helping Toussan achieve his goal extra extra early! AND for not killing anyone in the
process! " she smiled, then paused, " Who's Goggie? "
" Oh. He's my younger brother from an alternate timeline where Mommy and Daddy DO use the fusion dance before
escaping from inside Majin Buu but because of the bond created by the portara and the fact that they were wearing them when
they did the dance Gogeta, or Goggie as I like to call him, is a permanent fusion, like me! " he pointed to himself.
" Hi. " Gogeta waved to Bura, who whipped around to see another tailed saiyajin wearing an orange and blue outfit
similar to Gotenks. He was sawing a hole in the floor several feet away from Vejitto's ceiling hole.
Bura's eyes widened until they engulfed half her head, " Oh my GOOODNESSS...HE'S ADORABLE!!! " she glomped onto
Gogeta's leg, " O-lookit you! You're built just like Toussan but your face looks just like Kakarroujo's and you have a bang
just like Ji-chan's two bangs and wow you're so CUTE! "
" I'm cute too. " Vejitto pouted.
" Of COURSE you are! " Bura said, then turned back to Gogeta, " So how many other fusion babies are there? "
" Umm, I'm we're it. I think. " Gogeta shrugged, motioning to his brother.
" But, if you're here, there's gotta be MORE, right? " she said hopefully.
" Sorry Bu, Goggie only got here by some accident with his timeline's Mirai Trunks's time machine. " Vejitto sighed.
" IT WAS NO ACCIDENT ONNA WAS TRYING TO KILL ME!! " Gogeta snapped.
" Onna? " Bura said, confused, then gasped excitedly, " YOU call that mean ol Mrs. Goten's Mommy "Onna" just like
Toussan does! "
" Of course I do! I've always called her THAT. " Vegeta's voice came out of the fusion's mouth.
" Uh-huh! Me too now that I've seen how AWFUL Chi-chan was to little Veggie AND me about being stuck inside the same
body! " Goku's voice pouted.
Bura only stared, utterly confused and disturbed, " ... "
" Uh, since Goggie didn't get unfused and die his timeline's Mommy and Daddy are sharing the body with him. " Vejitto
explained.
" You mean you and Kakarroujo are sharing a SOUL... " Bura stared at the fusion in awe.
" ACK! IT'S NOT LIKE _THAT_!! " Vegeta's voice snapped. Gogeta's face glowed bright red.
" Heeheeheehee, " Goku's giggled, " I never thought about veggie-fusion THAT way bee-fore. "
" DON'T call it "veggie-fusion"--IT SOUNDS TOO CUTSY! Besides we might still have a way to get our bodies back. "
Gogeta nodded in Vegeta's voice.
" How? "
" ...I'm not sure. " Vegeta groaned. Gogeta fell over, twitching.
" This is kinda weird. " Bura cocked an eyebrow.
" You'll get used to it. " Vejitto sighed, sanding the sides of his hole in the ceiling, " He's perfectly sane aside
from the other two people in his body believe me. "
" Ji-chan is acting awfully smart right now....you must've been spending some Mommy & Ji-chan time with Toussan! "
she concluded.
" YEP! " Vejitto said happily, " He's off in another section of Capsule Corp drilling his own holes. "
" What for? " Bura cocked her head, smiling sweetly.
" I said it already, "Grand Master Plan"; that's all I can tell you! " Vejitto grinned in a Goku-ish way and gave her
a thumbs-up.
" Ohh... " Bura snorted, then perked up, " SO! How would my *FAVORITE* fusion babies like to take a break and come
play house with their little half-sister! "
Vejitto cringed, " Uh, no thanks, really, we're oh-kay right here. " he laughed nervously.
" I WANNA PLAY HOUSE! " Gogeta chirped, dropping his saw. Vejitto nearly fell down if he hadn't been levitating
himself in the air.
" No, you really don't. " Vejitto shook his head, worried for their safety.
" OH GOGGIE-CHAN! It'll be SO MUCH fun! " Bura hugged him, " And Ji-chan gets to come too 'cuz majority vote wins! "
" But we didn't vote on this! " Vejitto exclaimed, then paused, " Or did we? "
" Of COURSE we did! You just forgot. " Bura said while Gogeta picked up one of her dolls off the ground, " I've been
working on brand new outfits just for you two fusion-babies! Well, maybe only for Ji-chan but that's only because I didn't
know about Toussan and Kakarroujo's NEW baby! And that's oh-kay! I have extra outfits and you're both about the same size! "
" Is this supposed to be me? " Vegeta's voice said as he stared at the doll which looked exactly like the saiyajin no
ouji with the exception that this one was dressed up with a crown and cape and had a prince's outfit on, " Aww, B-chan. A
brilliant likeness if I do say so myself. " he said, flattered, " Where'd you get this? "
" Internet. " Bura grinned, " He came wearing one of your training outfits but I dressed him up with some of my other
dollies clothes! " she said, then smirked, " I was inspired by a recent incident involving your temporary crowning as KING! "
" I'm the KING? " Vegeta said, surprised and extatic at the same time.
" Well, you were. The pressures got to much though and you decided to be re-crowned at a later date. " Bura said,
taking her doll back.
" WOW....KING of the saiyajins! ME~~~ " he mused dreamily.
Bura sweatdropped, " Wow you HAVEN'T been here long have you? " she said, looking at her smiling ouji doll. Bura
hugged it along with the other doll, " You two ready to play house now? "
" YAY!! " Gogeta cheered.
" WAIT!! " Vejitto yelped. Bura frowned at him, " Umm, I'm curious. What's that other doll of? "
" Heh-heh-heh. " Bura held up a Goku doll wearing a pink princess costume, " It's Kakarroujo! "
Gogeta fell over, " WAHHH!!! " he sat up, " WHY IS _MY_ DOLLY WEARING A DRESS!!! " Goku's voice exclaimed, embarassed
at it.
" Cuz Kakay's the princess! " Bura said making the doll dance back and forth.
" AWWWWWWWWWW, the other me *WAS* RIGHT! Little Veggie *DID* make me his ~*pwincess*~!! " Goku said, going all
gooey-eyed, " I never knew little Veggie cared so ***deeply*** for ME~~~ " the larger saiyajin grinned.
" ERR, STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT!! " Vegeta's voice screamed out in rage and embarassment. Gogeta's face plummeting
back into a glowing bright red color, " THERE'S NO WAY I'D EVER MAKE YOU MY PRINCESS!!! " he turned to Vejitto, " WELL!
SAY SOMETHING! "
" Umm, Toussan is your oujo only on the grounds that you have a bit of each others dna from my fusion. There was no
ritual or anything like the near-completed one you had with Bulma. " Vejitto noted.
" THANK YOU! " Vegeta exclaimed, " See that Kakarrotto! I told you so! "
" Whatever you say little Veggie. " Goku's voice said skeptically.
" Aww, Toussan & Kakarroujo made up! " Bura said happily, putting her dolls hands near each others until they stuck.
" How'd you do that? " Vejitto cocked an eyebrow as he floated lower to the ground.
" I had little magnets inserted in different places so they can hug-n-stuff! " Bura said cheerfully, " Wanna see
where else I put the magnets? "
" NO THANKS! " Gogeta and Vejitto both said at once; quickly.
" How disturbing... " Vejitto sweatdropped. Gogeta nodded in agreement.
" So, are my favorite fusion-babies ready to go play! " she asked.
" Umm, if we play with you real fast will you let us go back and finish our plot. " Vejitto asked her.
" Sure! " Bura gave them a peace sign, " Just follow me! " she said, skipping back into her room.
Gogeta grinned and followed suit. Vejitto stood there, petrified.
" Somehow I have a very bad feeling about this... "
" Aaaand, DONE! " Goku said victoriously as he held up three brightly-wrapped presents. A form-fitting one for the
egg-nog, a small box for the mittens, and a large box with the t-shirt, robe, and bed-sheets inside. The large saiyajin
grinned, " Chi-chan'll never be able to tell I packed ALL of little Veggie's presents. And he'll be so happy getting all this
nice stuff to keep him warm at night. A warm Veggie is a happy Veggie!...speaking of Veggies maybe I should go check on him
and see how he's doing. "
" OH no you're not! "
" Eep! " Goku let out a squeak and looked around to see Chi-Chi in the doorway with her arms folded.
" Goku that Ouji has given me FAR TOO MANY scares today and I don't want to have to worry about you being around him
until tommorow when the whole gang is at Capsule Corp. " she threatened.
" But Chi-chan that is so impersonal. Besides, it's not like I'm gonna give Veggie his gifts! I just want to return
his credit card and see how he's doing. " Goku smiled, " I'm sure little Veggie is gettin kinda lonely right now. His ki's
in a whole 'nother section of Capsule Corp than everyone elses. "
" EXACTLY! Yet another reason why you're staying here till Christmas morning. " Chi-Chi nodded. The large saiyajin
pouted.
" But, but who's going to sing Christmas Carols with Veggie tonight? And who's gonna tell him all those bedtime
stories about Santa Claus and Frosty and Rudolph! And who's gonna help him "hang his stocking with care"? " he sniffled.
" I'm sure the Ouji will manage. He's got 6 other people living in that house with him. His FAMILY will do that job
for you, Goku. "
" That's BULMA'S family Chi-chan. Veggie's family's all, all, *sniffle*, dead! " Goku's eyes began to water at the
thought of it, " I'm the only other saiyajin left! And it IS the season of GIVING, right? "
" ... " Chi-Chi sighed, " I'm gonna hate myself for this in the morning. " she said to herself, " Alright Goku. You
have 5 minutes to see the Ouji. "
" An hour. "
" WHAT--NO!! " she snapped, then thought for a moment, " Half hour. "
" 45 minutes. "
" 25 minutes. "
" 35 minutes! "
" 20 minutes. "
" 23 minutes. "
" ...15? "
" 20! "
" *sigh*, done. " Chi-Chi shook his hand.
" It was fun haggling with you Chi-chan. " Goku said happily, then set his watch, " I will return in exactly 20
minutes! " he placed his two fingers on his forehead and teleported out of the room.
Chi-Chi sighed, " I hope I did the right thing just now. " she nodded, then looked up, " AND YOU BETTER NOT SCREW
THIS UP OUJI!!! "
" I'M HEERRRREEE!!! " Goku said happily, teleporting into one of Capsule Corp's many many hallways, " O little Veggie
? Are you in here? " he poked his head around the hallway only to see a ladder with a little lump heaped on the side of it.
Goku walked over to it only to discover the lump was infact the person he'd been looking for, " VEGGIE! " he grinned warmly,
floating up, " _HIII_ VEGGIE! "
" ... " Vegeta just lay there with his eyes closed.
" Veggie? " Goku said, conserned, " VEGGIE'S _DEAD_!! " he bawled.
" *YAWWWWWN*! " Vegeta opened his mouth widely, stretched his arms a bit, then returned to his drooping position on
the ladder. Goku sweatdropped.
" OH! Veggie's just sleeping! " he patted the ouji on the head, " Who's a good little Veggie! YOU ARE! "
" ZZzzzZzzz.... " Vegeta snored quietly.
Goku pouted, " This isn't much fun. " he said as he waddled around the ladder in a circle, " What is little Veggie
doing asleep on a ladder anyway! " the larger saiyajin looked around and paused when he noticed a gigantic hole cut in the
ceiling. Inside the hole sat a mallet just big enough to squeeze through. Goku grinned, " OHHHH, little Veggie is plotting
something. I see. " he turned to the sleeping ouji, " And you did so much work you thought you'd take a nap! " Goku clasped
his hands together, then saw Vegeta was still wearing the mistletoe wreath around his head. Goku grinned, then quietly
tip-toed up the ladder and layed over the steps of the ladder, squeezing next to Vegeta. He did his best to keep from
bursting into giggle-fits, then whispered quietly into Vegeta's ear, " Mistletoe. "
Vegeta's eyes flew open to see Goku grinning at him; an air of panic hanging over him. The ouji felt an itch on his
cheek and went to rub it only to remove his glove and find a layer of drool seaping into it, " AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! "
he shrieked in horror and lept of the ladder, Goku laughing at him and trying to to fall off the ladder himself. He watched
Vegeta wildly run into the bathroom, turn the sink on, and remain locked inside for the next 20 minutes. Goku had gotten
bored waiting and wandered down the hall, back, and finally decided on sitting down infront of the closed bathroom door.
Vegeta emerged from the bathroom with a sheer look of disgust on his face and a very shiny, clean left cheek.
" VEGGIE'S BACK! " a voice chirped from below him. Vegeta looked down at Goku and glared angrily. Goku thought for a
moment, then smiled, " Hey! I'm underneath Veggie again! " he said happily. Vegeta folded his arms, then sweatdropped to see
the other saiyajin pointing at the wreath, " MISTLETOE!!! "
" IIPE! " Vegeta backed up and slammed the door shut.
" Aw, nuts. " Goku snorted, then rested his hand on his cheek, bordom setting in again, " VEGGIE OPEN UP!! "
" Not until you are standing again. " Vegeta said flatly.
Goku shrugged, confused; then did so. Vegeta opened the door slightly to check and make sure Goku was standing up.
" Hmph. " he nodded and stepped out of the bathroom, still glaring at Goku. Vegeta pointed to the mistletoe-wreath
around his head, " I should CHOKE you with this for what you've just done!...but seeing as through that would wreck my entire
future I will merely avoid falling asleep around you for the next 2 days. "
" If Veggie doesn't want his little mistletoe-wreath can I have it? " Goku asked curiously, then grinned, " I'm so
much bigger than everyone else that I'll get lotsa kisses! "
" Lovely. " Vegeta sarcastically remarked, " NO you may NOT have it because it is also part of my well-thought-out
scheme that has been aided by our two fusions to bring it up to a level of perfection! If all goes accordingly I CANNOT
LOSE! " he boasted.
" Cannot lose what? " Goku cocked his head. Vegeta froze.
" Uhh, nothing! Heh-heh-heh! " he laughed nervously.
" Fusions; does that mean Ji-chan and Goggie are here? " Goku smiled.
" Yes Kakarrotto. They greeted me upon my arrival by singing Christmas carols....on the wrong side of the door. "
Vegeta said dryly, sweatdropping.
" ...OH! So you opened the door from the outside and Ji-chan and Goggie sang to you from the inside! " Goku said.
" Hai....only somebody with YOUR genetic makeup would do something so--- "
" --COOL!! "
" --idiotic. " Vegeta finished his sentence after Goku's interuption, " How long were you with them today anyway!
They were acting so Kaka-ish by the time I saw them it took a good several hours before they're brains started working
again. "
" Oh, you mean they're acting all Veggie-like now. " Goku giggled.
" "Veggie-like". " Vegeta sweatdropped.
" "Kaka-ish"! " Goku countered, grinning. An even larger sweatdrop appeared on the side of Vegeta's head, " OH! "
Goku's eyes lit up, " I came to give Veggie his credit card back! " he said handing the card over.
" Thank you Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said, putting the card back in his pocket, " So, I assume you've finished shopping
for me? "
" Mmm-hmm Mmm-hmm Mmm-hmm! " Goku nodded childishly, " Veggie's gonna LOVE all the neat stuff I got him! "
" Kakarrotto, by the way, " Vegeta smirked, " If you DID happen to get me the egg nog in your bundle of gifts, " he
narrowed his eyes, " Remember to put it in the fridge until you're ready to come over here tommorow; it'll spoil. "
" Aww, don't worry about THAT little Veggie! My room's so cold there's sheets of ice forming on the window-panes
anyway! " Goku shrugged it off, then paused at the temporarily sympathetic look on the ouji's face, " The heating system
isn't working on the second floor; where my room is, so instead I'm just using lots and lots of blankets for my bed.
Sometimes I have to put my pillows in the microwave just to keep 'um from freezing at night. " he nodded throughtfully.
" *Sniffle*. "
" Veggie? " Goku looked down at the ouji, who now had on a normal veggie-look on his face, " You oh-kay? "
" I'm fine, Kakarrotto-chan. " Vegeta replied.
" Cuz you sounded like you were getting ready to cry there-- "
" --I SAID I'M FINE! " Vegeta snapped at him, " You know, if you want, I could, umm, fix up a room for you to sleep
in tonight. So you won't have to, MICROWAVE your pillows to keep them warm, you understand. " he stammered slightly, avoiding
eye-contact.
" Oh little Veggie I would LOVE to campout in your room tonight with you! " Goku clasped his hands together.
Vegeta froze, " WHA--WHA--_MY_ ROOM!! I NEVER SAID _MY_ RO-- "
" --but I can't. I made a deal with Chi-chan that I'd only visit you for 20 minutes until we come to see you on
Christmas day. " Goku frowned.
" WHAT! ONNA CAN'T DO THAT TO YOU! HOW DARE YOU LET HER DICTATE HOW MUCH TIME YOU CAN SPEND WITH ME!! SHE'S YOUR WIFE
ISN'T SHE!! IT'S _SUPPOSED_ TO BE AN EQUAL RELATIONSHIP!! ONNA'S NOT YOU'RE RULER!! " Vegeta yelled at him.
" But Veggie, I gotta listen to Chi-chan. She knows what's good for me. At least, that's what she says. " Goku
blinked. Vegeta shook his head in response. The larger saiyajin bent down to Vegeta's height and grinned impishly, " Don't
tell Chi-chan though, she said I wasn't allowed to give you two of the presents I bought you but I wrapped 'um up anyway and
packed 'um both away in a box with something else I bought you. " he giggled.
" Ahh, a *secret* present? " Vegeta smirked.
" Uh-huh! " Goku nodded eagerly, " SECRET!! "
" And I bet whatever it is you got is something Onna consideres too personal to give to ME. " he snickered, " Maybe
some intentionally innocent gift underlying a deeper subconsious need its giver is unaware of? "
" Huh? " Goku cocked his head. Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Forget it, Kakarrot. " the ouji said dryly.
" What did Veggie get ME for Christmas? " Goku asked sweetly, " Something special and magical and full of Veggie-ness
I hooooope? "
" ... " Vegeta's face glowed bright red and he laughed nervously, " I, I, I, I, " he reached up and slapped himself
across the face, " I can't tell you THAT! It's a secret, baka! " he snapped at Goku.
" Why, why, why, why, why not? " Goku said with a grin, mocking the ouji's previous nervousness. Vegeta narrowed his
eyes at him.
" BECAUSE THEN IT WON'T BE A SURPRISE!!! " Vegeta screamed, then calmed down, " Kakarrotto, why won't YOU tell me
what presents YOU bought for ME! "
" Because it would ruin little Veggie's surprise when he sees them. " Goku responded.
" Good, well THAT is the EXACT SAME REASON I won't tell YOU YOUR gifts! " he exclamied.
" Ohhh... " Goku pouted, " SO! Can I help little Veggie cut his holes in the ceiling? "
" As a matter of fact, you can! " Vegeta grinned, handing Goku a saw, " They all need to be the same size. I want
one in the floor 5 feet that way. " he pointed ahead of them.
" YAY! " Goku dashed over to the spot, " I'm helpin Veggie! Saw a hole in-the-floor! " he sang, then put the saw into
the floor once.
" *BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*!! "
Goku's face fell in disappointment, " Ohhhhh....I gotta go now. " he sniffled, standing up.
" What? What do you mean you have to leave NOW! " Vegeta said.
" Chi-chan'll be mad at me if I don't go home now. Besides I can't break my promise. I never break my promises
Veggie. " Goku shook his head.
" But Kakarro-- " Vegeta started to complain only to have Goku walk up to the little ouji, grab and hug him.
" Bye-bye little bity buddy Veggie-chan. " Goku hugged him tightly, " I have to leave now but I promise I will be
here first thing tommorow morning, AND I'll have your presents with me! " he smiled down at the prince.
" But Kaka-- " Vegeta started up again.
" --shh! Veggie gonna make me late, don't do that! " Goku let go of him and prepared to teleport, " Merry Christmas
Eve little Veggie! " he waved, then teleported away. Vegeta sighed.
" Poor Kakay. All alone in his cold room with his microwaved pillows and his freezing sheets and mean 'ol Onna
ordering him around. WELL THAT WON'T BE A REALITY FOR LONG!! " Vegeta said determinedly as he grabbed the saw Goku had from
before and continued making the hole, " NOT WHILE _I'M_ AROUND!!! "
" I HAVE RETURNED! " Goku announced heroically as he teleported back into his living room only to be presented with a
rather large candy cane.
" Here you are Go-chan! " Chi-Chi smiled at him, holding out the candy cane.
" AHH! " Goku shrieked with joy, grabbed the candy cane, and stuffed half of it in his mouth, " MMMmmmMMmmmm,
PEP-permint. " he grinned.
" I'm so proud of you making it back on time! " Chi-Chi gave him a kiss, " How DID you make it back on time? " she
asked, " I was SURE that Ouji would try and keep you there all day! "
" O, Veggie was sleeping on a ladder when I got there. " Goku nodded.
" ...why? " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow, " No, wait, I don't WANT to know why. " she said, disgusted.
" Umm, I think he's helping Bulma renovate the house for Christmas. I never really got to find out ALL the details
from little Veggie. " Goku explained, " I gave him a lil mistletoe-smoochie on the cheek to wake him up and all he did was
shriek in terror, run into the bathroom, and wasted a good chunk of or Christmas Eve buddy-time trying to wash my
"kaka-germs" off. Veggie looked so cute sleepin there. "
" Then you should've just LET him sleep! NOW he's probably causing all SORTS of horrible terrible Ouji-stuff! " she
complained.
" Ouji-stuff! " Goku chirped, repeating her, " I asked Veggie if I could have his mistletoe-wreath but he wouldn't
let me. " he frowned, " And it was such a nice wreath too. I don't get why he'd wear that if he doesn't like being smooched."
" Who knows Goku, there is a method to his madness, but I have absolutely NO desire to find out WHAT that would be--"
Chi-Chi rattled off, then froze suddenly, " WAIT, did you just say "smooched"? "
" Yeah. " Goku nodded, then grinned, " I think little Veggie's embarassed about getting smooched but maybe he just
likes the way the little wreath looks on his head! "
" YOU "SMOOCHED" THE OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi screamed.
Goku looked at her, slightly frightened, " Um, yes? " he laughed nervously, looking away, " But, but I WAS under the
mistletoe since Veggie WAS on the ladder above me and it was kinda like "Sleeping Beauty" only I smooched Veggie on the cheek
instead of, well, you know, heh-heh-heh. " he put his arm behind his head, a little pink blush line over his nose.
" ... " Chi-Chi's shoulders slumped down at her sides. She shook her head slowly, turned around, and walked out of
the room.
" Hey, Chi-chan where're you going? " Goku asked curiously.
" I'm going to take a nice long nap and when I wake up everything will be all back to normal... " Chi-Chi said in a
weak voice.
" Umm, oh-kay. " Goku scratched his head, " Sweet dreams Chi-chan! " he said, then stuck his candy cane back in his
mouth, " Mmm, sweet-n-minty! "
" Sleep, that's all I need. Just a liiiiittle bit of sleep and I'll easily wipe all these most recent terrible
incidences from my mind. Goku's safe. The Ouji can't harm him here. " she said as she got into bed and pulled the sheets up,
" And Go-chan PROMISED me to stay here until tommorow when we got to deliver the presents to everyone; and he ALWAYS keeps
his promises... "
Goku smiled at her from behind as he tip-toed into the room holding a little bundle of mistletoe over his head just
as Chi-Chi's eyes closed shut. He giggled to himself.
" Goku... " Chi-Chi mumbled in her sleep. Goku instantly covered his mouth with his free hand and froze, " Where are
you... "
:::" Where are you! Everyone is looking all over for you! " Chi-Chi scholded him as she wandered around the living
room of Capsule Corp, angrily. The rest of the gang were standing outside getting ready to go carolling, " GOKU! "
" I'm so sorry, " a familiar voice chuckled smoothly from around her, " It looks like he won't be able to make it. "
Chi-Chi looked over her shoulder, narrowing her eyes. She turned back around and shrieked to see Vegeta standing
infront of her, smirking more evilly than usual. The ouji was wearing the deep ruby red robe Goku had shown Chi-Chi not even
an hour ago. He also had the mistletoe wreath around his head.
" You see, Kakarrotto has other arrangements that are MUCH more important than you are. " Vegeta boasted, " I'm very
glad he bought me the egg-nog I was asking for, that will make it SO much more enjoyable. "
" Why you little-- " Chi-Chi growled, then thrust her fist into his face only to have it go right through him like a
hologram. Chi-Chi blinked in confusion.
" Yep, quite a shame you're such a jerk. Maybe Kakay would've reconsidered remaining under your unjust rule if you
hadn't made me so wildly tempting as opposed to you. Kakarrotto-chan finds his alternative to be so VERY sweet. Maybe Kakay
and I will even get a chance to try out those nice sheets and mittens Kakay bought 'us'. " Vegeta calmly rattled off while
Chi-Chi continued to slug right through him.
" WHY, CAN'T, I, HIT YOU!!! " she snarled, stopping to catch her breath.
" Because, Onna, it is our DESTINY!! " the small saiyajin clenched his fist in determination, " You cannot alter
destiny. "
Meanwhile on the outside of Chi-Chi's dream, Goku was attempting to hang his little mistletoe bush above her head
while levetating himself above the bed.
" MY GO-CHAN WOULD _NEVER_ JOIN YOUR 'EVIL' SIDE, OUJI!! " Chi-Chi snapped out loud in her sleep. Goku glanced down
at her, shrugged happily, and went back to screwing in the mistletoe until it neatly hung from a string screwed into the
wall. He floated back to check on his work.
" What are you talking about, Onna? " Vegeta laughed, " He already has. "
" Huh? " Chi-Chi blinked.
" Oh Kakarrotto-chan! " the ouji called up the stairs at the door to his room. The door shyly opened and the larger
saiyajin stepped out wearing a pink princess costume.
" V-sama? " he said cautiously, looking around, then squealed to see the little ouji downstairs, " VEGGIE! " Goku
lept at the ouji and where in reality his weight would've knocked Vegeta over the ouji caught Goku in his arms instead, " OH
V-sama I am so happy to see you! You were gone for a whole 20 seconds! I got scared. " he sniffled.
" HA! Give me a break. " Chi-Chi snorted. Goku looked around, surprised.
" Hey Veggie did you hear that? "
Chi-Chi face-faulted, " DID HE HEAR THAT! I'M STANDING RIGHT OVER HERE! WHAT DO YOU THINK!! "
" Kakarrotto can't see you, Onna. " Vegeta chuckled, " You're a thing of the past, whereas _I_ am a thing of the
future. Kakay's future. Now if you'll excuse us, we're going into the kitchen for some of that delicious egg-nog Kakay so
GRACIOUSLY bought me. " the ouji took Goku's arm and escorted him out of the room, leaving a fuming Chi-Chi in the living
room.
" OOOH! HOW DARE YOU! YOU COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE THIEF!! " she ran into the kitchen, only to freeze when she
realized there was nothing beneath her. The entire kitchen was one huge black abyss with the exception of a small flying
saucer floating several stories above her. Vegeta and Goku were grinning and sitting ontop of it, Vegeta with a glass of
egg-nog in a fancy cup and Goku chugging from the egg-nog carton.
" Bye-bye Chi-chan! " he waved as Chi-Chi swam up towards them.
" Yes, "bye-bye", Onna. " Vegeta cackled, then grabbed the larger saiyajin and dipped him just as Chi-Chi got up to
the edge of the ufo, " Kakarrotto-chan, " the ouji smirked, " Mistletoe. " he puckered up just as Chi-Chi drew back her fist
and blindsided Vegeta, knocking him off the saucer.:::
" HA! TAKE THAT YOU EVIL ROTTEN LITTLE OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi shot up in bed, laughing victoriously. It was then she
realized she was still in her bed. A feeling of confusion wafted over her and a pained groan was heard over the side of the
bed. Chi-Chi peeked over and gasped to see Goku twitching on the floor with a large bruise on his cheek.
" Why is it that everytime I try to smooch somebody I always get hurt... " he groaned weakly as his head fell back.
" GOKU! " Chi-Chi gasped as she got up and helped him to his feet, " Oh my poor Go-chan! Are you alright? " she asked
with consern.
" Yeah, it's just a little sting...I'm oh-kay.. " he laughed, rubbing his cheek, " Boy it's a good thing you're not
super-strong like Veggie...you would've knocked my entire JAW off! "
Chi-Chi shivered at the thought, " Thank God for that. " she looked over his cheek, " Goku, what were you doing! "
The larger saiyajin grinned cheesily and pointed to the now swinging mistletoe that was hanging from the ceiling,
" "Sleeping Beauty". I, I thought you were a little jealous that you didn't get a sleeping-smooch like Veggie did and that's
why you were upset so I decided I could give you a *special* smooch to make up for it and help you feel better. " Goku
explained, worried about her.
A smile appeared on Chi-Chi's face, " OH GO-CHAN! " she flung her arms around him, " You WOULDN'T leave me, would
you! "
" ...leave you for what? " Goku blinked.
" THE OUJI!! " Chi-Chi snapped at him.
" Oh....why would I go live with Veggie, Chi-chan? " Goku cocked an eyebrow, " It's not like you're DEAD or
something. " he laughed.
" Uh, heh-heh-heh, yeah, "dead", me, right. " Chi-Chi nervously chuckled along with him, " But, but maybe that dream
was a good sign. I DID punch the Ouji, and he DID fall off that spaceship. " her smile widened, " This must be some sign from
above telling me that I'm getting closer to completely stopping that horrible horrible "princess kakay" future FOREVER! I
slugged him even before he got to kiss you! "
" Excuse me? " Goku squeaked out, his cheeks now flushed pink.
" But you were still wearing that disgusting oujo costume, that means I still have work left to do. " Chi-Chi said to
herself as she began to pace the floor, " It was like an intersection between the present and that soon-to-be-alternate
future! " she whipped around, grinned at Goku, " Go-chan do you understand! "
" Umm, not really. " Goku shook his head.
" IT MEANS I'VE GOT A REALLY REALLY GOOD CHANCE OF SAVING YOU! " she hugged him tightly.
" What happened AFTER you knocked Veggie off the ufo, Chi-chan? " Goku asked.
Chi-Chi froze and sweatdropped, " Umm, I don't really know. That's when I woke up. "
" ... "
" ... "
An awkward silence exchanged between the couple.
" But that's oh-kay! " Chi-Chi piped up, " I think I'm feeling better now. " she changed out of her slippers and into
her shoes, " Come on Go-chan, I'll go make us some hot chocolate! "
" YAY! " Goku cheered happily, dashing out after her, " With little marshmellows in 'um too? "
" Haha, as many 'little marshmellows' as you like, Goku! " she said happily, " Heck, you can have all the 'little
marshmellows' in the house if we can find 'um all. "
Goku grinned excitedly, " I LOVE YOU CHI-CHAN! And MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE to us! "
" Does either of the little fusion-babies want another cookie? " Bura said sweetly as she sat at her play-table with
an agitated Vejitto and a grinning, full-of-cookie-dough, Gogeta. Both saiyajins were dressed up in baby-clothes and sitting
in high-chairs. Vejitto in a light green and Gogeta in a light red.
" I DO I DO I DO!! " Gogeta waved his arm in the air, then let out a belch.
Bura held out another cookie, then took it away at the last second, " Who's the baby? " she teased.
" I'M THE BABY I'M THE BABY!! " Gogeta said happily, still waving his arms in the air and his eyes locked on the
cookie. Bura pushed the cookie halfway into his mouth and rubbed him on the head.
" And does Jiji-chan want a cookie toooo? " Bura said to Vejitto, who only folded his arms in embarassment.
" I will NOT sit in this baby-chair wearing these clothes and BEG YOU IN BABY-TALK FOR FOOD! " Vejitto snapped, his
face flushing red.
" If he doesn't want it I'll take his cookie. " Gogeta offered, still hungry. Bura ignored him, " Hel-looo? BUU-rah!
Cookie, my mouth, my stomach, I'm hungry.... " he said, trying to get her attention. Bura grinned evilly at him and the
younger fusion got the message. His expression mirrored his brothers, " Nuh-uh! I'm tired'a talking like a baby. I think it
lowers my brain funktion. "
" Function. " Vejitto corrected him.
" SEE! IT'S HAPPENING ALREADY!! " Gogeta exclaimed, " And I have THREE BRAINS! That's a little HARD to do! "
" Where do you keep them all? " Vejitto blinked in surprise. Gogeta sweatdropped and smirked.
" 'Your kaka-genes are showing'. " Gogeta snickered, repeating Vegeta's snide remark about the younger fusion earlier
in the day.
" ...DOH! " Vejitto cringed when he realized what he'd done.
" Hahahaha! " Gogeta laughed and pointed at him.
Vejitto blew a raspberry in Gogeta's direction only to have both of them silenced by Bura who stuck two pacifiers in
their mouths. Both fusion-babies sat there for a moment, stunned and confused, then glared at Bura and powered up to ssj,
busting open their high-chairs.
" HEY! WHERE'RE YOU GOING!! " Bura snapped at them. Vejitto tossed the pacifier out of his mouth. Gogeta took his
off and held it inbetween his fingers.
" We're leaving. " Gogeta nodded, " Mommy and Daddy are right. If I want cookies I'll just go get some out of the
kitchen like a NORMAL person. "
" But GO-GEEE!! " Bura pleaded with him while Vejitto got changed back into his gi in the background, " You looked so
cute in your little red outfit. "
Gogeta refused to comment and grabbed his own gi.
" Heh-heh-heh, red? I thought it was pink. " Vejitto snickered. Gogeta hmmphed in reply.
" Ji-chan! Ji-chan not you too! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!!! " Bura began to panic while Vejitto stuffed his
boots back on.
" We're tired of playing like this, it's embarassing! I'm only 7 months old but MY BODY'S SOMEWHERE BETWEEN KAASAN
AND TOUSSAN'S AGES!!! " Vejitto exclaimed, then paused for a moment, " Whatever those may be. "
Bura fell over.
" 44.5. " Gogeta said off the top of his head.
" What? " Vejitto cocked an eyebrow.
Gogeta sighed, then Vegeta's voice spoke up, " I was born in 732. Kakarrotto was born in 737. The current year, if
this is indeed the same year we defeated Majin Buu in that would make THIS year 774. Subtracted by both our birth years you
would get the numbers 42 and 47 even though Kakarrotto and I appear in our late 20's by human standards. Adding our ages
together and dividing by 2 gives the approximate age of both the fusion-babies if indeed their age is determined the same
way as their physical and mental features. "
" Wow... " Vejitto said, dumbfounded.
" HOLY MACARONI! TOUSSAN AND KAKARROUJO ARE REALLY _THAT_ _OLD_!! " Bura gawked. Both Goku & Vegeta mentally
sweatdropped from inside Gogeta, " I HAD NO IDEA!! " she turned to Vejitto, " How come YOU didn't know that!! "
" I only have a copy of their memories, not their actual SELVES inside me like HE does. " Vejitto grumbled.
" Now that THAT'S taken care of, " Vegeta let go his hold on the body, causing Gogeta's expression to blank out. He
looked around, confused, trying to remember why he was in Bura's room, " ...COOKIE! " he shouted happily, then paused and
grinned cheesily as it all came rushing back to him, " Heh-heh, heh. " Gogeta stuck the green pacifier Bura had given him
back in his mouth and innocently walked out of the room, back in his gi.
" ...WHAT WAS THAT!! " Bura gawked for the second time.
" Oh, since he didn't get killed like I did, he's still got Toussan & Kaasan's fused souls inside him...they kinda
take-over his body at random times. I'm not sure if he remembers anything that happens when he's not in control. " Vejitto
nodded. Bura's eyes widened and she backed away from him, a pale look on her face. Vejitto walked over to her and grabbed the
cookie out of her hand, " _I'LL_ be taking this. " he grinned, then stuffed it in his mouth and ate it as he left Bura's
room and went out after Gogeta.
" WOW! I really gotta hand it to you Goggie! You put HER in her place! Stumped her good too! " he grinned, then
noticed Gogeta at the edge of the stairs, staring upward, " ...what are you looking at? " Vejitto glanced at him and
sweatdropped to see Gogeta still had the pacifier in his mouth.
" Someone's coming. " Gogeta said, narrowing his eyes at the ceiling.
" Huh? " Vejitto blinked, then put his ear to the ground. His eyes widened as he heard 16 thumps on the roof-top,
" Strange. " he said, now also on the alert.
" HOHOHO! " a jolly voice that was only picked up by the saiyajins sensitive ears was heard.
Gogeta's pacifier fell out of his mouth and hit the floor as the realization hit them.
" It's Santa Claus... " both fusions said at once.
" AHHHHHHHHH!!!! " Gogeta squealed, " IT'S SANTA IT'S SANTA IT'S SANTA! THE _REAL_ SANTA! "
" Not some cheap imitation dressed up like him like Mirai was at the mall! " Vejitto added happily, then froze, " Oh
no...WE FORGOT TO MAKE LISTS!! "
" ACK! " Gogeta yelped, then quickly recovered, " That's oh-kay, Santa knows everybody and I'm sure he left us
SOMEthing! "
" You mean is GOING to leave us something. " Vejitto smirked, " BUT, just to make sure he DOES, let's-hide-under-the-
-stairs!!! "
" YAY! " Gogeta cheered. The brothers dashed down the stairs and then underneath them, lowering their ki as they did
so.
" HOHOHO! What a tight squeeze! " Santa said as he slid down the Capsule Corp chimney and landed in the living room
across from the tree and the stairs. The two awe-struck fusion grinned from their hiding places as they watched him lug his
pile of toys and presents into the room.
" When he goes to get his cookies and milk, let's attack him! " Vejitto rubbed his hands together.
" Coooookies? " Gogeta mused, clasping his hands together, " Yeahhhhh, I'M THE BABY!--IPE! " he yelped as Vejitto
slapped his hand over Gogeta's mouth.
" I swear she's got you trained say that now! " Vejitto groaned, a vein bulging on his forehead, " I never liked
Bura...not the first time I met her, and certainly not THIS time. " he shook his head.
" You know what _I_ want for Christmas, Vejitto? " Gogeta asked quietly, smiling.
" Uh, not really. " Vejitto replied, scratching his head.
" I think I might know what he's thinking of. " a third voice said, tapping him on the shoulder. The fusions turned
around and screamed in terror.
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

END OF PART 3!
Chuquita: (cheering) YAY YAY YAY! I finished it BEFORE Christmas! (toots little horn) (grins) I'm so proud. (scratches her
head) Something tells me there's probably going to be 5 chapters to this thing. I don't wanna go through that "over 100kb"
thing that happened at the end of "King Me!" (shudders) And besides this is the Christmas Special. It's oh-kay if it's longer
than normal, right?
Vegeta: (nods) Yes. We all know who the third person is though, don't we.
Chuquita: (narrows her eyes) Oh hush! It could be a lotta different people, YOU only know because I know!
Goku: (grins) Chu-sama's got a point there Veggie!
Vegeta: (sticks his tongue out) Beh.
Chuquita: I dunno, I kinda like the "screaming" cliffhanger myself.
Goku: Heehee, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH---mmph!
Vegeta: [slaps his hand over Son's mouth] Don't, Kakarrotto. We'd rather not listen to you scream at the top of your lungs.
Goku: (pouts) Aww, come on Veggie. It is ~*CHRISTMAS EVE*~. It's the season to be all nice and happy and warm and soft to
your only 'peasant'. Don't you wanna be *nice* to me?
Vegeta: ... (mildly glowing red) Uhhh....
Chuquita: Yeah Vedge, where's your 'christmas spirit'?
Vegeta: (snaps) THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
Goku: Veggie likes the little veggie-shirt I got him though, right?
Vegeta: (smiles at the tank-top he's wearing) As a matter of fact, I like it VERY much.
Goku: AWWW! (hugs Veggie tightly) YOU ARE WELCOME LITTLE VEGGIE!
Vegeta: (glowing) ....heh-heh...yes, I am.....
Chuquita: So what'd you get Son-kun for Christmas, Veggie?
Vegeta: (freezes in place)
Goku: Hai! Veggie said he was going to give me my present after the chapter.
Vegeta: (glowing brighter) I, I, I didn't say THAT! When did I say that!
*Flashback*
FlashbackGoku: Veggie got a present for MEEEEEEE? (big sparkily eyes)
FlashbackVegeta: (face starts to glow) Yes-but-I'll-give-it-to-you-after-the-chapter-oh-kay?
*End Flashback*
Goku: I LOVE flashbacks, Chu-sama and Veggie!
Chuquita: (curious) I wonder where he put your present. (looking around)
Goku: (eagerly) I wonder what IS my present?
Vegeta: ...umm... [pulls out a wrapped box from under the desk] Here.
Goku: YAY!! [grabs the box and wildly unwraps it] OH-BOY-OH-BOY-OH-BOY!!! [lifts the cover up to expose a blue gi similiar to
the ones he wears in the very last couple of episodes (189-191)] OOooooOOOOoooh, IT'S PRETTY! [gi's t-shirt is white along
with sash, wristbands are yellow] Heeheehee, Veggie-colors! [zips off-camera; returns in 5 seconds wearing the new gi] I LIKE
IT!!
Vegeta: (glowing now mild) Well, you won't be so easily spotted at night like with your old one, but you won't get mistaken
for an escaped criminal and get thrown in jail either.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) (to Son) Was that a compliment?
Goku: (busy oohing and ahhing at his new gi) WOW! I don't remember the last time I wore a blue gi like this! (musing) It
must've been way way back even before I turned into a giant ape monster and accidentally stepped on Grampa Gohan!
[Veggie & Chu sweatdrop]
Goku: THANK YOU Veggie. I really like my present. (smiles) [hugs Veggie tightly]
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) Hehehehehhh.....
Chuquita: (chirps) AND there was no alterior motive involved in this one either!
Vegeta: (snorts) Hey don't ruin my moment! (turns to Son) Tighter, Kakay.
Goku: K! (squeezes tighter)
Vegeta: (chuckles until suddenly yelps in pain)
Goku: (gulps) Uh-oh.
Chuquita: (conserned) I hope you didn't break anything that we can't put back together.
Goku: (worried) Little buddy are you alright?
Vegeta: (squeaks out) Yes....I'm fine....really... (faints)
Goku: (gasps) VEGGIE! [looks around and then decidedly places the ouji back in his chair] (nervous laugh) Heh-heh-heh, he's
fine, really he is....RIGHT? (looks over at Chu)
Chuquita: Is his ki still there?
Goku: (checks, sighs in relief) Uh-huh. (happily) Little Veggie is still A-live and kicking!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Thank God, I can't imagine what we would've done if he wasn't.
Goku: [while patting Veggie on the head] So, what did Chu-sama get for Christmas?
Chuquita: Christmas is tommorow, so I really don't know yet. I made a list though; new cd/radio player, new Kirby game,
either a you or Veggie plushie, new cordless phone to replace the old one in my room (thinks of countless time she's
accidentally knocked phone over because of its short cord), that new shounen jump, a dvd player, "Sherman's Lagoon" book I
saw in borders, and "the clapper".
Goku: (singing) Clap on *clap-clap*, Clap off *clap-clap*. Clap on Clap off! *clap-clap-clap*.
Chuquita: (grins) I love those commercials. Anyways, I'm pretty sure I'm getting the first two, I have no idea about the
plushies, I MIGHT get the phone, I subscibed to shounen jump so that'll be here in about a month, I know I got the dvd player
