Quote of the Week: -from "Spongebob Squarepants" The Graveyard Shift
Squidward: You mean you've never heard the story of the… [thinks] Uh, hash-slinging slasher?
Spongebob: [stops getting exciting] The slash-bringing hasher?
Squidward: The hash-slinging slasher!
Spongebob: The sash-ringing, the trash-singing, the mash-flinging, the flash-springing, ringing, the, the crash-singing, the…
Squidward: Yes, the hash-slinging slasher. But most people just call him the "Hash-AAAGH!!!" Because that's all they have
time to say before he gets them! [Spongebob pulls on two holes and his face stretches down]
Spongebob: Tell me the story!

Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: (happily) And HERE it is!
Goku: (cocks his head) Chu-sama why are we still here, it isn't Christmas yet and I thought you were gonna bring over some
of your presents for me to play with?
Chuquita: I never promised you that.
Goku: (confused) Oh....maybe that was Veggie.....or Goten. I can't remember.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) ... (perks up) Anyway, welcome to Part 4! I had planned on using this beginning Corner to talk about
presents-n-such but that's gonna have to wait till this chapter's end corner because I am REALLY in the mood to continue this
story...AND I have no idea how much free, by-myself-in-the-backroom-and-eager-to-type time I'm gonna get tommorow seeing as
Christmas Day I go to my grandma's house! So we have a little mini-poll instead. Son?
Goku: (nods) HEE, too-day's mini-poll question is "What was the best present you got on whatever holiday you celebrate!"
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) A little long don't you think?
Chuquita: Nah! So, here we are, Christmas Eve--
Goku: --and waiting for Santa Claus to appear. (big sparkily eyes) And bring lots of good presents to good little saiyajins
like me-n-Veggie!
Vegeta: (mockingly) HA!
Goku: Veggie does not think he has been good ee-nough to get any presents from Santa Claus?
Vegeta: Oh I'm GOOD ENOUGH, Kakarrotto. No mistaking the obvious. The only thing is we don't exactly know how leniant Santa
is with those who ARE good but have done some...urr...slightly bad things also.
Chuquita: You can undo a bad deed with a good one.
Goku: YEAH! Veggie do good things and then his bad ones this year won't count & Santa'll bring him lots and lots of special
goodies just for little Veggie!
Vegeta: (to Chu) How long 'til its legally Christmas?
Chuquita: 11 minutes.
Vegeta: (curses; foiled again) 'DOH!
Goku: [pats Veggie on the back] Aww, don't worry little buddy. _I_ still think you're a good person.
Vegeta: (narrows his eyes) That's not going to get me my special presents is it Kakarrotto?
Goku: ... (in a little voice) ...no.
Vegeta: SEE!
Goku: Umm, let's see... (thinks) OOH! I know! MISTLETOE! [grabs little mistletoe bush and holds it over his head]
Vegeta: ACK! PUT THAT THING AWAY!!!
Goku: (disheartened) Buh widdle Vedge'ums...
Vegeta: I SAID PUT IT AWAY!! (snorts) I have to deal with that stupid planet in the actual story THERE'S NO REASON FOR YOU TO
BRING THIS THING ALL THE WAY TO THE CORNER!.....(pauses) Wait, what did you just call me?
Goku: (big grin) (chirps) My little Vedge'ums!
Vegeta: (turning green) (stomach queasy) OhhHHHHHHHHH dear God..... [covers his mouth in attempt to swallow and keep from
throwing up]
Goku: Whatsa matter?
Vegeta: (looking disgusted) Your "little VEDGE'UMS"?!
Goku: I made it up just now! (hugs Veggie) Doesn't it sound *CYUUTE!!*
Vegeta: (flatly) Adorable.
Chuquita: (snickers)
Vegeta: And WHAT is so funny?
Chuquita: Heh-heh, "Vedge'ums". It sounds like a health-snack-food.
Goku: (laughs) Haha, silly Chu-sama! I cannot eat little Veggies. They're not edible! They only look it!
Vegeta: (face flushes bright red) Oh...
Goku: (looks down at Veggie who is glowing yet has a worried look on his face) Little Veggie? You oh-kay?
Vegeta: (shakily lifts his hand up and grabs Son by the collar) Don't...you....EVER...call me your "little Vedge'ums" EVER
again.
Goku: How about Tata?
Vegeta: (face fades back to normal skin-tone) "Tata"?
Goku: Yeah, you know, VegeTA. Tahhh-tahhhhh. [pats Veggie on the head]
Vegeta: (glow bursts back onto his face) Ohhhhhhhh, that's worse. That's MUCH MUCH worse.
Goku: (happily) I can stick to "little Vedge'ums then?
Vegeta: NO! I don't want to hear ANY nicknames that sound overly cuddly! "Veggie" is fine.
Goku: (smiles) Perfect?
Vegeta: Exactly.
Goku: (grins) Do not fix what is not broken, little Veggie!
Chuquita: If only GT had followed that rule...
Goku: (to Veggie) If you really wanna know Veggie, I WAS still gonna call you Veggie. The other name just sounded really cute
-n-little to me.
Vegeta: (blinks) Oh. (skeptically) Well how would YOU appreciate it if _I_ called you "Kak'ums" or something like that.
Goku: Sounds like a brand of cookie.
Chuquita: Ginger-snaps! (nods)
Vegeta: SEE! Let's just stick with you calling me "Veggie" and I using "Kakarrotto, Kaka-chan, Kakay, Kakarrot, and
Kakarrotto-chan".
Goku: K!.... (pouty) How come you have more nicknames for me than I have for you?
Vegeta: Because I'm more creative than you are Kakarrotto. Besides, your name is longer. I have more options.
Chuquita: By 4 whole letters.
Goku: AND depending on how you spell it.
Vegeta: ...
Goku: (grins)
Vegeta: (groans) Must EVERYONE debunk EVERYTHING I say!
Chuquita: Yes.
Vegeta: (turns to glare at Chu only to find she's ignoring him) Hn.. (glances up at Son, who's grinning widely at him)
Hooo-boy. (sweatdrops) Let's just start the chapter already.
Goku: YAY! Here is Part 4!


Summary: It's Christmas time and Vejitto's coming home for the holidays, but this time he's bringing
a friend with him. After a Gogeta from an alternate timeline somehow ends up in h.f.i.l, Vejitto instantly brands him his
little brother and decides to take him home to meet their parents. Meanwhile Veggie's experimenting with mistletoe, Goku's
looking for the perfect gift for his little buddy, and Mirai gets to play Santa Claus! All this and more!

Goku: MERRY CHRISTMAS little Veggie!!! [hugs Veggie tighter]
Vegeta: (squeaks out) Merry Christmas...Kakarrotto...
*****************************************************************************************************************************

" IT'S SANTA!!! " both fusions grinned at once.
" Hohoho, what are you boys doing up so late? " Santa asked them.
" Well you won't believe it, but-- " Vejitto was cut off by his brother.
" --Santa Santa I have a Christmas wish!! " Gogeta said eagerly, " Can you grant it? "
" Santa will see what he can do. " the jolly man chuckled.
" YAY! " Gogeta cheered, " What I really want for Christmas is to give my Kaasan and Toussan their bodies back..but,
but without blowing up mine. "
" ... " Santa stared at him, " Santa is confused. "
" Goggie, Santa has no idea what you're talking about. " Vejitto whispered, " You just got here! "
" So? "
" Santa Claus isn't like Shenlong, Goggie! Ask for a toy! "
" Oh...oh-kay. " Gogeta nodded, " I WANNA GAMECUBE! " he said loudly. Vejitto whinced and covered his ears.
" Hohoho, consider it taken care of. " Santa laughed.
" HOO-RAY!!!! " Gogeta said.
" *A-hem*. " Vejitto made an attention-getting cough.
" Don't worry, Vejitto. Santa has your presents already beneath the tree. " Santa said, " Now you both better go to
sleep or else your presents will disappear. "
" Really? " both fusions said, staring wide-eyed in wonder.
" Umm, yes. Hohoho. " Santa laughed nervously, then backed up towards the fireplace, " It's all part of the magic of
Christmas. "
" Maaaagic? " Vejitto grinned eagerly. Gogeta's eyes widened even more and a smile engulfed his face.
" That's right. " Santa nodded, " Merry Christmas, boys. " he said as he layed his finger aside of his nose and was
sucked up the chimney.
" HOLY CHEESECAKES!! " Gogeta yelped as Vejitto's jaw fell to the floor, " IT ATE HIM!! "
" Poor Santa! " Vejitto gasped, then paused for a moment and sweatdropped. He narrowed his eyes in embarassment at
his brother, " IT DIDN'T EAT HIM THAT'S ALWAYS HOW SANTA LEAVES!! "
" How would you know! YOU'VE never seen Santa before EITHER! " Gogeta said defensively.
Vejitto blinked, " Hmm, you got a point. "
" ... "
" ... "
" Wanna go up after 'em and check? " Gogeta asked, grinning.
" YEAH! " the other fusion said excitedly. The duo teleported to the top of the roof just to see the tip of Santa's
hat emerge from the chimney, " See, I TOLD you he wasn't EATEN! " Vejitto said as-a-matter-of-factly.
" OoooooOOH! " Gogeta said, not paying any attention and busy staring at the sligh, " REINDEER!! "
Vejitto sweatdropped, " You weren't listening to a word I just said were you. "
" Hey Ji! Let's take a ride in the sleigh until Santa gets himself unstuck! " Gogeta grinned, already sitting in the
sleigh.
" That's a terrible, mean idea! " Vejitto gasped, then smirked, " Let's do it! " he hooted, hopping in as well.
" Heehee! YAH DEER! YAH! " Gogeta snaped one of the reins and the reindeer and sleigh lifted up off into the air.
" WOW!! It's really flying! " Vejitto said happily, " Just like in the Christmas specials! This is INCREDIBLE! It's
COLOSSAL! It's-- " both he and Gogeta froze in place as two rocket-boosters popped out of the back of the sleigh, " --gonna
be a bumpy ride... " Vejitto gulped, then screamed at the top of his lungs as the sleigh went hurtling through the sky at a
speed even unfathomable to the fusions themselves.
Santa pulled the top half of his body out of the chimney's tight squeeze, " My...sleigh... " he blinked as he watched
the last of it wisp off into the sky, " YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!....JUST AS SOON AS I GET OUT OF HERE!!! "



The next morning...
" Ahhhhh... " Goku yawned loudly as he opened his eyes slightly. They instantly flew open when he saw millions of
small, white, fluffy flakes tinkling down out the other side of the window, " SNOW!! " the large saiyajin squealed and lept
out of bed, running over to the window and staring out it, " It's SNOWING! Chi-chan it's SNOWING! " he said with utter joy.
" Wuh-hunnamuh? " a still tired Chi-Chi said as she reached her arm for Goku's side of the bed, only to find it empty
She yelped in fright, " YOU'LL NEVER TAKE HIM ALIVE, OUJI!!! "
" Huh? " Goku blinked, looking back at her.
Chi-Chi opened her eyes to see Vegeta was nowhere near the house and Goku was merely 2 feet away from her and looking
very confused.
" ...oh. " she sweatdropped, " Goku what are you doing up so early? "
" Looking at the snoooooow. " Goku grinned.
" Snow? "
" Uh-huh! It is really blowing hard out there! " he nodded happily, " I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY IN IT!! "
" You know, it looks like this weather would be terrible to travel in. MAYBE we should stay home for Christmas and
celebrate it here. " Chi-Chi smiled, " Just you and me and Gohan and Goten. It'll be fun! " she clasped her hands together,
then muttered to herself, " Not to mention the first Ouji-less Christmas I've had since Gohan was FIVE. "
" But won't everyone else miss us? " Goku frowned, watching the snow.
" Oh of course not! They'll understand how far away we live. Heck we're on the opposite coast of the whole country,
Goku! Bulma can't expect us to drive all the way there in this blizzard! Besides, if we stay home and make this a family
thing I'll even help you make snowmen like we used to! "
" Reeeeeaaaaalllllllll-eee? " Goku said, surprised.
" Mmm-hmm! " Chi-Chi nodded.
" I'LL DO IT! " he cheered.
" Great! " Chi-Chi replied, then blinked as Goku zipped out of the room still in his pajamas and then zipped back
inside now wearing his snow-gear.
" Let's go Chi-chan! I am ready for action! " he put on a pair of snow-goggles and grinned. Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" Don't you think we should open our presents first? "
" Oh yeah, PRESENTS! " Goku ripped off his snow-gear to magically reveal his pajamas underneath them, " I almost
forgot! I wonder what Santa brought us THIS year! " he said happily as he dashed down the stairs, only to be greeted by a
miniture firetruck running into the bottom step. Goku peered down at it curiously, then watched as it ungracefully backed up
and turned around, speeding in the other direction.
" MORNING TOUSSAN! " Goten shouted, holding the firetrucks controller in his hand. He pointed to his firetruck,
" ISN'T IT COOL!! " He pressed a small red button and the hose on the firetruck rose upward and squirted water in every
direction, soaking the entire stairway; Chi-Chi and Goku along with it. Chi-Chi looked slightly aggitated, Goku impressed.
" Wow, is that one from Santa? " Goku asked.
" Nope! Gohan gave me this one! " the boy nodded, pointing to Gohan who was already dressed and trying on some black
gloves he had just taken out of a freshly ripped-apart package. Gohan grinned cheesily at them.
" Umm, hi. "
" We decided to wait for you to wake up before we open the ones Santa left us! " Goten said happily. Goku looked over
at the presents. His eyes widened 3X their size when he saw a gigantic package in the corner of the room. He dashed over to
it in search of the tag and squealed when he saw his name printed on it.
" ALL FOR ME!! " Goku grabbed the present and hugged it, then carried it over to the couch and sat down. His fingers
tingling with the excitement of opening it, " Can I open it Chi-chan? " he asked sweetly.
" Sure you can Go-- " Chi-Chi said warmly, then blinked in shock to see the present already unwrapped to expose a
large box. Shreds of the wrapping paper lay on the ground while Goku sat there grinning at her, " --ku. "
" It's so big! I wonder what it could be? " the large saiyajin giggled, then wildly tore the box apart. There inside
sat a fairly large pillow only about a foot and a half shorter than Goku, " PILLOW! " he picked up the pillow hugged it,
" THANK YOU CHI-CHAN!! " Goku squealed, then paused, still staring at her starry-eyed, " Chi-chan why did you get me an
unusually large pillow? "
" Actually, think of it more as a 'buddy-pillow'. " she smiled cheesily.
" A buddy-pillow? " Goku looked down at the pillow.
" Yes, you see, when you have the urge to hug that evil little Ouji, all you do is hug the pillow instead. This way
you can release your, err, joy on something that can't plot to steal you away from me AND it's about the same height as the
Ouji so you won't feel too weird about it. " Chi-Chi perked up, explaining.
" You're trying to ween Toussan off Vegeta by substituting him with a Vegeta-sized PILLOW? " Gohan said skeptically.
" I _LOVE_ my new pillow Chi-chan! " Goku hugged it tightly. Chi-Chi smirked at Gohan, who sweatdropped.
" Hn, maybe this WILL work after all. " he scratched his head.
" I just can't WAIT to it show little Veggie! " Goku held his pillow up.
" WAHHH!! " Chi-Chi fell over, her foot twitching, " THAT'S DESTROYING THE WHOLE POINT OF ME GIVING YOU THE PILLOW IN
THE FIRST PLACE!!! "
" What do you think I should name it? " Goku smiled coyly at the pillow.
" URG! " Chi-Chi slapped herself on the forehead, " You don't "name" it! IT'S A PILLOW!! "
" How about little Vedge'ums! " the large saiyajin hugged the pillow again.
" WHAT!! " she exclaimed.
" What? " Goku cocked his head.
" YOU ARE _NOT_ CALLING THE PILLOW "LITTLE VEDGE'UMS"!!! " Chi-Chi screamed.
" Why is Mommy yelling like that? " Goten asked. Gohan gulped.
" Uhh, come on Goten, we better get something to eat in the kitchen. " Gohan said nervously as he dragged Goten out
of the room.
" OH-KAY Gohan! " Goten chirped, then pressed the button on his remote, sending his firetruck wizzing into the
kitchen after them, " Can I open the rest of my presents after we eat? "
" Sure. Sure we can. " Gohan said while watching Chi-Chi now sending death-glares at the pillow as if it were the
Ouji himself, " Hoo-boy.. "
" Give me the pillow, Goku. " Chi-Chi said a little TOO calmly.
" But you just gave him to me! " Goku pouted.
" IT'S _NOT_ a "him"! IT'S A PILLOW! " Chi-Chi exclaimed.
" Well little Vedge'ums resents that remark, don't you Vedge'ums! " Goku said to the pillow.
" ... "
" SEE! He says you hurt his little FEELINGS! " Goku sniffled.
" PILLOWS HAVE NO FEELINGS!!! " Chi-Chi screamed.
" How would YOU know! You've never been one! " Goku coddled the pillow even more, holding it in his arms.
" GIVE, ME, THE OUJI, GOKU!!! " Chi-Chi snarled at the pillow.
" ... " Goku looked her oddly, " This isn't Veggie, Chi-chan. This is little Vedge'ums the Christmas Pillow. You just
gave him to me, remember? "
" ... " Chi-Chi blinked for a moment, now feeling even more paranoid, " Oh....so it is... " she looked around,
" Goku? " she said, calming down, " Why don't you sent Vedge'ums over there and go open some of your other presents, you have
an awful lot of them. " Chi-Chi said warmly.
" You're pointing at the fireplace. " Goku said, now slightly distressed.
" Hmm? " Chi-Chi only smiled at him.
" You just said to put little Vedge'ums down "over there", but you're pointing to the FIRE PLACE! " he held it
tightly against him. The soft pillow squeaked.
" Yes. " Chi-Chi nodded.
Goku's eyes widened, " Oh Chi-chan! That's HORRIBLE!! "
" THEN JUST GIVE ME THE PILLOW!! "
" VEDGE'UMS DOESN'T LIKE YOU YOU SCARE HIM AND MAKE HIM CRY!!! " Goku nuzzed his face into the pillow.
" PILLOWS DO NOT CRY!!! "
" *RING*RING*RING*! " the telephone rang loudly. Chi-Chi paused and warningly held her hand up infront of Goku and
the pillow.
" STAY..RIGHT..HERE. " she backed up, then walked into the kitchen and got the phone, " HELLO. " Chi-Chi gritted
through her teeth, trying her best yet failing to calm down.
" Operator 246 to place a message for a Son Goku. " the operator said.
Chi-Chi stomped into the other room and stood next to Goku, " Here he is. " she handed the phone over to him,
" Message for you. "
" Oh. " Goku blinked, shifting Vedge'ums from both arms to under his left one, " Hello? "
" ~I'll have a bluuuuuuue, Christmas, without you. I'll be so bluuuuuuuuuue, thinking, about you.~ " the familiar
Christmas Elvis song played over the phone. Goku cocked an eyebrow, " ~Decorations of red, on a green Christmas tree, won't
mean a thing, if, you're not here with me. " the saiyajin frowned, " ~I'll have a bluuuuuuuuuue, Christmas, it's certain.
And when that bluuuuuuuue, heartache, starts hurtin. You'll be doin' up right, with your Christmas of white, but I'll, have a
blue, blue blue blue Christmas.~ "
" *hip, hip, hip*, " the large saiyajin's eyes began to water, " That's so SAD... "
Chi-Chi sweatdropped, then noticed the call number on the phone, " Hey, that's one of Capsule Corp's phone numbers! "
she noted. A little snicker was heard in the backround of the phone, " OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUJIIIIIIIII!!!!! " she clenched
her fists in rage.
" Little Veggie? " Goku sniffled, " HE sent me the sad little song on the phone? "
" GIVE ME THAT! " Chi-Chi yanked the phone out of the saiyajin's hand, " Of ALL the lowdown DIRTY tricks! " she
marched into the other room.
" I MISS YOU TOO LITTLE VEGGIE!!! " Goku cried out loud enough to be heard on the other end of the phone.
" GOKU! " Chi-Chi snapped.
" Chi-chan I don't want little Veggie to have a "bluuuuuuuue" Christmas. It shouldn't be blue, it should be
polka-dotted with love and happiness! " Goku rubbed his eyes.
Chi-Chi slammed the phone down, hanging it up. She picked it back up and dialed 0, " Hello, operator? "
" Yes Ma'am. "
" This is the Son residence, number 234 in the mountain area code, I'd like you to put a call through to the number
that just dialed us. " she said kindly.
" Capsule Corperation? " the operator asked.
" Yes please. " Chi-Chi nodded.
" Hold on, I'll put you through. "
Chi-Chi took the phone over to the cd player and started searching the tracks until she came to the one she was
looking for and paused it at the beginning, an evil grin on her face. The phone started to ring.
" Kakay. " Vegeta smirked, picking up.
" ~I'll be home, for Christmas. You, can count on meeeeee...~ " the song played over the phone. Vegeta narrowed his
eyes at the phone.
" KUSO ONNA!! " he growled, slamming the phone down.
" Heh-heh-heh, " Chi-Chi chuckled, " That takes care of him. " she hung up.
" ~....Christmas Eve will find me, wherever love's light gleams. I'll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams! "
Goku sang along to the cd player. Chi-Chi stubbornly shut it off.
" Hey! " he pouted.
" Go-chan I feel my Christmas spirit restored! " Chi-Chi said happily, " Let's go open the rest of our presents,
oh-kay? "
" But what about little Veggie and his blue Christmas? " Goku asked sadly, " I do not want little Veggie to feel
bluuuuuuuuuue. " he sniffled.
" Oh he's fine, Goku! " Chi-Chi brushed him off, then picked up a present labeled 'To Son Goku, From Santa Claus',
" Here, why don't you open this one! "
" *KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*! " the front door knocked from outside. Chi-Chi snarled.
" Oh what is it NOW! "
Goku set his pillow down on the couch and waddled over to the door, still in his pajamas. He opened the door,
" Hello? " Goku said, then gasped in surprise. Before him sat a Veggie-sized snowman shaped like the ouji, " Oh my GOODNESS..
.. " Goku stared at it w/big sparkily eyes, " IT'S ADORABLE!! " he squealed, gushing and latching onto the snowman, " I just
wanna eat 'im all up!! " he grabbed a chunk of the snowman's 'hair' and shoved it in his mouth, " Mmm! Hey Chi-chan we got
any of those flavored food dyes left? You know, the ones you use on snowcones? "
" Why? " Chi-Chi called from the other room.
" I'm hungry and there's a little snow-Veggie on the doorstep and his hair tastes pretty snow-cone-ish so I thought
since you might have 'um that-- "
" --what do you MEAN "snow-Veggie"--EE-ACK! " Chi-Chi gawked as she walked over only to see the snow-Veggie sitting
there smiling out of its two coal eyes. It also had a smaller piece of coal for a nose and a cowtail candy twizzler as a
mouth. Goku had his arms wrapped around the little snowman and was contemplating whether or not he should eat the cowtail,
" Oh dear Lord... " she groaned, turning her head away, " IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY HOW CAN YOU FORCE ME TO DEAL WITH THIS CRAP ON
YOUR BIRTHDAY! THE WORLD IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN PEACE!! " she cried upward.
" The world does not revolve around you Chi-chan. " Goku pointed out.
" OH YOU SHUT UP!! " she shouted, " AND LET GO OF THAT THING!! "
Goku shrugged and went over to the kitchen. He returned carrying hot fudge sauce and peanut-butter.
" What are you doing NOW! " Chi-Chi exclaimed.
" I'm going to give snow-Veggie a haircut and make myself some ice cream! " Goku grinned.
" You put those down! And get away from that thing it's probably diseased! "
" Ohhhh... " Goku sighed, then perked up, " Can I at least have the mouth? "
" WHAT!? "
" His mouth...it's, umm, it's a candy. " Goku pointed to it, not noticing the increasingly agitated look on Chi-Chi's
face, " It's one of those caramels...with the, uh..cream filling... "
" OTHER ROOM! NOW!! " Chi-Chi screamed.
" YES-CHI-CHAN! " he yelped, dashing off, leaving Chi-Chi staring down the snow-Veggie.
" You think this is cute, don't you Ouji. " she muttered, " WELL IT'S NOT! " Chi-Chi thrust out her arm and angrily
sliced the snow-Veggie's head off, sending it plopping to the ground into the snow. She grinned in a victorious/maniacal
manner, " GOD, THAT FELT GOOD! " she proceeded to snap off the snow-Veggie's snow-limbs and beat what was left of the body
with them until nothing was left but a snowy lump, " MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! THAT'LL SHOW YOU WHO'S BOSS! " Chi-Chi laughed,
then closed the door and cheerfull walked into the living room. Gohan and Goten where staring at her in complete terror,
" What! Mommy was playing with the snowman! It's all fun-n-games! " she snapped.
" You chopped off his head. " Gohan grimaced.
" SO! It's not like he's ALIVE! " she said defensively.
" Haha, not anymore. " Goten giggled.
" Hey Chi-chan what's that in your hand? " Goku asked while currently unwrapping the "from Santa Claus" gift Chi-Chi
had shown him earlier.
Chi-Chi smirked and dropped the item to the ground. Goku's eyes widened as he realized what it was.
" THAT'S SNOW-VEGGIE'S RIGHT EYE!!! " Goku shrieked.
" He was being a little cocky so I taught him a lesson. " Chi-Chi chuckled. Goku dropped his package and ran out to
the front door only to gasp in horror at the beaten-into-oblivion snowman. It was disfigured beyond repair and lying on a
heap of snow. It's cowtail mouth twisted in disturbingly hurt frown. It's left coal (eye) was slowly dripping down the snowy
face it had been plopped onto and the nose was turned sideways.
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! " a scream
of horror echoed throughout the house. The boys sweatdropped and Chi-Chi felt as if a humongous blob of guilt had just fallen
ontop of her, " MURDER!!!!! YOU MURDERED THE LITTLE SNOW-VEGGIE!!! " Goku wailed. Chi-Chi walked over to him.
" Umm, Goku? "
" HOW _COULD_ YOU! " he grabbed her by the collar.
" Well, I, it's not my fault, really! " Chi-Chi pleaded to the teary-eyed saiyajin, " He, he was asking for it. "
" THAT DOESN'T GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO SHOVE HIS OWN ARM THROUGH HIS LITTLE TUMMY!!! " Goku sobbed into her shoulder.
" You what? " Gohan blinked, poking his head around the corner to see the savagely beaten snowman, " HOLY BEEF! Could
you imagine if that had been the REAL Vegeta?! Kaasan you would've commited MURDER! There's no WAY we could hide a body THAT
disfigured! You'd go to jail and we'd never see you again! " he said to Chi-Chi, worried.
" So instead of snow that could've been Uncle Veggie's insides? " Goten's eyes widened. Gohan nodded grimacingly,
" ...EEW! "
Chi-Chi groaned, Goku still holding and crying against her, " Ohhhhhhh....why is it everytime _I'M_ having fun, it's
wrong! "
" *SOB*! "
She patted Goku on the back, " You wanna go to Bulma's for Christmas, Go-chan? " she asked blandly.
Suddenly the large lump hugging her disappeared and then re-appeared wearing a red and green version of his gi. Goku
also had a Santa hat on his head. He grinned widely at Chi-Chi.
" Uh.... " she groaned, " Why me. "
Goku wandered back over to his partially opened present and ripped it open to reveal a brown jacket with the words
Son Goku on the back. Son in blue and Goku in orange, " OOOooooOOooooOOooh--THANK YOU SANTA!! " he squealed, putting it on.
" Well at least HE'S on my side. " Chi-Chi sighed, " It didn't say 'Kakarrotto' on it. "
" I'M READY! " Goku said happily, " I will teleport us all to Bulma's house! "
" Whee! " Goten cheered, picking up his firetruck and grabbing onto Goku's jacket.
" What about our presents? " Gohan asked.
" We'll open the rest when we get back. " Chi-Chi replied, " After whatever that Ouji plans on putting me through
today I'm gonna need a present when I get home. "
" Everyone holding on? " Goku checked, making sure. The others nodded, " OH-KAY then! " he placed his fingers on his
forehead and the group instantly teleported out of the house, emptying it. A fairly large purple head poked through one of
the windows in the living room.
" RRRRRAA!! " Hiyah raa-ed happily, squeezing itself through the window and landing on the couch. He grabbed one of
the nearby pillows and stuffed it in his mouth, then wildly shook it left and right, tearing it into pieces. Hiyah dragon
grinned and looked up at the ceiling, " RAAAAAAA!!! "



" *DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING* *DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG*!!! " the
doorbell to Capsule Corp rang.
" I only know one person who rings the doorbell like that. " Bulma chuckled, then yelped as something wizzed past her
" I'LL-GET-IT!! " Vegeta shouted eagerly as he screeched to a halt infront of the door, " Heh-heh-heh, and so it
BEGINS!! "
" Don't embarass yourself this time, V-kun. " Bulma laughed lightly, then said concerned, " I don't want to see you
get hurt. "
" Believe me, it'll be Onna who'll be the one 'hurting' by the end of today. " Vegeta adjusted the mistletoe on his
head and opened the door, only to stare baffled at a large snow-Goku, " What the--? " he paused and began to inspect the
snowman, " How odd, I didn't know Kakarrotto was THIS talented. " the ouji walked around the snowman once, then scratched
his head, " Hnn. " he now stood infront of it. A rumble was heard and something exploded out of the snowman and tackled the
prince to the ground.
" MERRY CHRISTMAS LITTLE BUDDY!!! " Goku exclaimed, shaking off the excess snow and hugging the ouji tightly. Gohan,
Chi-Chi, and Goten followed him inside, ignoring the smaller saiyajin, " Did you get what you wanted from Saaaanta Claus? "
he asked, his eyes brightening as he mentioned Santa's name.
" Oh, I probably did. " Vegeta got out of the hug and floated up so he was just an inch above Goku, " I just wanted
to wait until YOU got here so you could enjoy the festivities WITH me. " he boasted.
" HA! " Chi-Chi laughed mockingly, " Con-artist. "
Vegeta momentarily glared at her, then turned back to the other saiyajin, smirked, and purposely adjusted his wreath,
" So itchy. "
Goku looked up at the wreath and grinned, " MISTLETOE! " he grabbed the little ouji and smooched his forehead.
Vegeta's whole body reeled with disgust as his mind began nervously chanting, ::Kaka-germs, kaka-germs, kaka-germs.::
, " Ehh....ehhhhHHhh... "
" Veggie? " Goku cocked his head.
" Is he oh-kay? " Gohan asked Bulma, who sighed.
" Oh, he's fine. He's just trying to due battle with his own body's reactions. " Bulma explained.
" It's an evil plot but at his own expense? " Gohan said, surprised.
" Yah, pretty much. "
" Heeheeheeheehee. " Goku clapped, " Veggie-smooches! "
Vegeta felt his bottom left eyelid twitch as kaka-drool started dripping down his forehead towards his nose and eyes.
He calmly landed on the floor, " Will you excuse me for a second? "
" Mmm-hmm! " Goku nodded innocently. The ouji backed up and dashed out of the room.
" OH YUCK YUCK YUCK YUCK YUCK! DISGUSTING DEPLORABLE SICKENING KAKA-GERMS BLECH! " he exclaimed from the kitchen as
he wiped the drool off with a paper-towel, " WHY DID I EVEN _THINK_ THIS ONE UP ITS ABOMINABLE! " Vegeta moaned, then
finished cleaning his face up and re-entered the room with a cool head, " Why, 'Merry Christmas' to you too, Kakay. " he
smirked. Goku smiled back, pleased.
Bulma sighed, ::The number of paper towels I'm going to go through today....::
" So, how was your morning Kaka-chan? " Vegeta said to the larger saiyajin, who just grinned widely down at him.
" It was GOOOOOoooooOOOOD, little Veggie! I got a pillow and a jacket so far! " Goku pointed to the jacket he was
wearing.
" 'Son Goku'. Figures. " Vegeta grumbled, then snickered, " Wanna see what _I_ got you, Kakarrotto? "
" Only if Veggie gets to see his presents too. " Goku replied.
" OF COURSE. " Vegeta nodded.
" ... "
" ... "
" HEEEE~~~ " Goku grinned, pointing to his head in the same manner the ouji had earlier.
" What? What is it? " Vegeta looked up, then yelped to see the larger saiyajin was now wearing his own mistletoe
wreath, " Well, heh-heh, isn't that complimentary. " he laughed nervously.
" MISTLETOE! " Goku shouted as if the word was now a war-cry and bent down towards the little ouji. Vegeta panickly
grabbed a nearby pillow and shoved it infront of Goku's face, causing the larger saiyajin to kiss the pillow.
" *whew*! " Vegeta wiped the sweat off his forehead with his free hand, then glanced to his left to see Chi-Chi
smirking at him, skeptical. She folded her arms and snickered.
The ouji glared back at her, then looked over at the pillow. His cheeks paled as he painstakingly removed it,
" Alright Kakarrotto. "
" FWEEEE! " Goku cheered. Vegeta squinted his head and quickly turned his head to the side allowing his cheek to take
the blow of kaka-slobber instead, " Mmmm!!!--muAH! " he let go.
The little ouji's entire mental and physical self was now shivering in shock and disgust. His breathing sped up.
" Silly Veggie! " Goku chirped, then paused, " Veggie oh-kay? " he said, more concerned.
" I...*hic*, I *hic*....I *hic*....*hic*hic*hic*! " Vegeta started hiccuping.
" Aww, even Veggie's hiccups are little sounding! " Goku smiled warmly, then yelped and dropped him. The larger
saiyajin looked down at his hands, which now showed the beginning signs of a burnt mark. He glanced over at the ouji, who's
entire body was glowing bright red, yet instead of the normal dazed look on his face, he seemed terrified instead. AND
still hiccuping. Goku bent down onto the floor and reached out towards Vegeta, " Oh little Veggie-- "
" NNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! " Vegeta screamed as the glowing exploded into an entire bright red aurora surrounding
him. Goku sat there with his hand just a few inches away from the ouji, confused.
" My little Veggie! " Goku gasped, worried for him, " Come 'ere little Veggie. Kakay'll hold you and make it all
better I promise! "
" *SPLOOOSH*!! "
" YIIPE! " Goku yelped as a large bucket of ice water was poured over him and Vegeta. The water cooled off the ouji,
returning his skin tone to normal. His head wobbled back and he fell over. Goku was sitting there shivering, " Co--co---COLD
!! " he cried out.
" Sorry Son-kun. " Bulma apologized, setting down the bucket, " If he let that glow get any bright he'd start burning
his skin and clothes off. " she grabbed the woozy Vegeta from under the arms, " Care to help me move him to the couch? "
" Sure. " Goku picked up the little ouji's feet and helped carrying him to the couch. He and Bulma sat the smaller
saiyajin down. Goku grabbed a blanket and layed it overtop Vegeta, " I am sorry I almost hurt you little Veggie. " he turned
to Bulma, " Veggie's better now though, right? " he asked nervously.
" Yes. " Bulma nodded, " I _TOLD_ him this was a bad plan of the start! He can't let you 'mistletoe' him all day!
He's libel to have a complete mental burnout! If mistletoes induced hugging I'm sure Vegeta could tip-toe right through it,
but not kissing. " she shook her head, " He still believes your spit is home to those 'kaka-cooties' his mind made up. "
" Kaka-germs. " Goku corrected her.
" Same thing. " she felt Vegeta's forehead for his temperature, " Poor guy. "
" Poor poor little Veggie and his smooch-a-phobia. " Goku sniffed, then smiled, " How 'bout a nap-time mistletoe
smooch for my lil sleeping beauty? "
" AHHHH-HAAA! " Vegeta yelped and ducked underneath the blanket, shaking again.
" Veggie? " Goku peeked under the blanket at the shaking ouji.
" --I-LOVE-YOU-TOO!!! " the nerve-shot Vegeta cried out, then pulled the blanket down further over himself.
Goku stood there for a moment, cocking his head, " ...huh? "
" YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! PREPARE TO DIE!! " an angry voice cried out from around the corner. Gogeta dashed out
holding a large mallet over his head, " AAARRRG!!!! "
" NO WAIT!!! " Vejitto ran after his brother and stopped him by grabbing the back of his collar, " We didn't get the
signal yet! AND -that's what the holes we made are for-!! " he whispered the last part, then paused to see Gogeta growling
ragefully at a confused and surprised Chi-Chi. She recognized the farther back fusion immidently.
" YOU! " Chi-Chi pointed at Vejitto.
" O! I forgot to tell Chi-chan! Ji-chan and Goggie are visiting us for Christmas! " Goku said cheerfully, zipping out
infront of her.
" WHAT! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, " Wait, who's Goggie? "
" He's the one snarling at you in a vengeful rage. " Goku chirped.
" Oh. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" Goggie's almost a week old. He's from another timeline where I convinced little Veggie to fusion dance with me when
we were still inside Buu. Because of our leftover bond from the portara fusion, when we did the fusion dance to make Goggie
the fusion became permanent. " he explained.
" Gogeta! Cut it out! " Vejitto grumbled, frustrated.
" YOU WANTED TO KILL ME!! " Goku's voice cried out from Gogeta, his eyes welling up with tears, " YOU _TRIED_ TO KILL
ME! HOW COULD YOU DO IT CHI-CHAN!!! "
Chi-Chi froze, stunned, " Go....did your voice just come out of, he-- " she turned to Goku for an answer.
" Since Goggie didn't die like Ji-chan did, his me-n-Veggie are still sharing the body with him. "
" OH! Poor Go-chan! Trapped in there with that evil little Ouji! " Chi-Chi gasped.
" I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!!!!!!! " the larger saiyajin's voice cried out, " YOU WOULD'VE KILLED ME, GOGGIE, _AND_
LITTLE VEGGIE JUST SO YOU COULD BRING ONLY ME BACK!!! YOU HORRIBLE PERSON! I CAN'T FORGIVE YOU! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!! "
" Go-KU! I'm sure there was a perfectly logical explaination. " Chi-Chi said.
" Don't let Onna fool you Kakarrotto. " Vegeta's voice said, dead-serious, " She is merely saying that the protect
her own hide. "
" I AM NOT! " Chi-Chi shouted, " LISTEN HERE OUJI-- "
" Kakay saw you. "
" ...hm? "
" Kakay saw you stare at him. The way you stare at me. While fused we can make it so that all three of us see the
same eyes. You were so angry at Gogeta's existance that you decided to kill him. Kakarrotto's heart is damaged beyond your
repair...he heard you tell Gogeta how you would gladly kill off Kakarrotto if it put an end to my life as well. You were
going to try and wish Kakarrotto back after you killed him while leaving my soul and our fusion-baby's down there to rot. "
Vegeta said, disgusted with her, " The Kakarrotto I am sharing this body with will never trust you again. "
" Aw, don't be silly fusion-Veggie. I'm sure Chi-chan would NEVER try to kill Goggie. " Goku laughed it off.
::" Well we'll just have to find out, WON'T WE! ":: Gogeta shivered as a flashback hit him, " No, Chi-chan doesn't
love me, she just really hates Veggie! " he shook his head, " Bulma cried for us when she found out we were stuck like this!
Gohan was worried for us. ALL CHI-CHAN WANTED TO DO IS KILL US SO SHE WOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH ME AND VEGGIE BEING SO
CLOSE FOREVER!!! I'm you, don't you believe YOURSELF!! "
" Oh... " Goku scratched his head, " It just sounds too weird to be true, Goggie. "
" There are dents from her mallet in the time machine's sides. I could bring it to you and you could see for
yourself. " the larger saiyajin's voice said defensively.
" Goggie! Goggie where are you! " Vejitto said, " Hello? Goggie you can take your body back anytime now. "
" Two against one's not fair. " Gogeta's own voice pouted suddenly, leaving the others confused, " It's even harder
when they work together. "
" Well try! " Vejitto said, then sniffed the air, " OOOOoh! CHOCOLATE! "
" WHERE! " Gogeta exclaimed, regaining full control over his body.
" YES! " Vejitto cheered, " Come on Goggie! Let's get some chocolate and then go play "whack-a-mole"! " he ran off
down the hall.
" Heeheehee~~ " Gogeta grinned at Chi-Chi, " Operation "whack-a-mole" Heeheeheehee! " he zipped off after his
brother.
" I'm confused. " Chi-Chi blinked.
" We'll, explain it to you later. " Bulma nodded, then went back to pressing the cool compress on Vegeta's forehead,
" My poor baby. "
" Is Veggie gonna be oh-kay? " Goku asked.
" Sure he will, Son. He just needs to regain his consiousness again. That's all. " Bulma smiled at the ouji, " It
shouldn't be that long either. He's coming around. " she said as Vegeta groaned lightly.
" Well in THAT case-- " Goku pulled out a capsule from his pocket an flung it to the ground, revealing the wrapped
boxes full of Vegeta's Christmas presents, " I better give Veggie his presents. " he picked them up and grinned, " I CAN'T
WAIT! Little Veggie will be so PROUD of meeee~~ " Goku mused w/big sparkily eyes.
" WILL YOU CUT THAT OUT! " Chi-Chi snapped at him.
" Huh? "
" I don't want you blubbering over the Ouji, that's all. " she folded her arms.
" Whatever you say Chi-chan. " Goku smiled, then started poking Vegeta in the arm, " Hey Veggie. Veggie? Little
Veggie 'o mine wake up. "
" Uhhhh... " the ouji grunted and flopped his body to one side so his arm was nuzzled into the seat cushion. Goku
pouted.
" Little Veggie that is not fair! " he whined, then started poking Vegeta's back instead. The prince twitched in
aggitation.
" So Bulma where's everyone else? " Gohan asked, " I mean, their cars are outside, but-- "
" Heeheehee, Veggie ate 'um. " Goku laughed, joking around.
" Nng. " Vegeta grumbled, his face turned towards the back of the couch.
" They're all out in the backyard, " Bulma said cheerfully, then sweatdropped, " Playing in the snow... "
" Playing in the snow? " Gohan blinked, walking out into the kitchen past the ingeniously hidden fusion babies;
Gogeta had somehow managed to squeeze himself inside a cookie jar on the table and Vejitto was in ssj with a lamp shade over
his head, standing perfectly still. Gohan gawked at the scene in the backyard through the glass door. Kuririn and Yamcha had
both built forts at either end of the snow-covered lawn and were throwing snowballs back and forth from behind their
respective 'defensives'. Chaoutzu was making a normal snowman while Tenshinhan searched the yard for sticks to give the
snowman some arms. Marron was making snowangels while Juuhachigou watched her daughter happily.
" Wow, " Gohan said, stepping outside only to have a snowball smack against the side of his head within two seconds.
He sweatdropped.
" HAHA! " Kuririn laughed from behind his fort, " GOT YOU! "


" Veggie. "
" No. "
" Veggie. "
" No. "
" VEH-HEH-GEEEEEEEEeeeEEEEEEEeeE! Goku whined.
" NO! " Vegeta said, the blanket still overtop of him. The larger saiyajin was still attempting to get him out.
" But I am sorry little Veggie. I did not know giving Veggie smooches is SCARY for him. "
" SCARY!! " Vegeta angrily poked his head out from under the blanket, offended, " WHAT DO YOU MEAN SCARY! I WASN'T
_SCARED_ OF YOUR DISGUSTING KAKA-SLOBBER! JUST SICKENED TO THE POINT OF SEVERE MENTAL ANGUISH!!! "
" Present! " Goku chirped holding out the boxes.
The little ouji's eyes widened delight, " For me? " he grinned.
" Uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh! " the larger saiyajin nodded excitedly at Vegeta's reaction.
" Awwwww, Kakarrotto-chan! " the ouji hugged his presents to Goku's delight. Chi-Chi grumbled something under her
breath, " Heh-heh-heh!! " he grabbed the smallest present and ripped it to shreds, " MY EGG-NOG!! And you got the right one
too! "
" Heehee, little Veggie can drink himself into a veggie-ish stupor tonight! " Goku grinned.
" That is AFTER we're far FAR away from him. " Chi-Chi nodded to herself.
" Can _I_ have some egg-nog TOO little Veggie? " Goku asked.
" Of course, Kaka-chan. " Vegeta smirked, " Why don't I go pour us both some right now? " Goku nodded eagerly.
" NO RUM FOR GOKU! JUST OPEN THE REST OF YOUR PRESENTS, OUJI! " Chi-Chi shouted, a little more on-edge than usual.
" Hmmph, what's SHE so uppity about? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow, then held up the hand with his portara ring on it,
" Could it be this? "
" OOOoooOOOOh. That is pretty, Veggie. " Goku looked at the ring in wonder.
" You like it, Kakarrotto? "
" YEAH! " he chirped.
" Well let's see what's in THIS box, shall we? " he moved onto the next largest box. Goku plopped down on the couch
beside him and waited for the little ouji to open it. Vegeta tore through this present as wildly as the last and opened it
to reveal a pair of fuzzy white-n-yellow mittens, " ...huh? " he cocked his head, looking confused.
" They're mittens, Veggie. You know what mittens are, don't you? " Goku said, ready to happily explain the objects to
him.
" They look like my boots. " Vegeta said finally, peering down at his feet to see the white w/yellow tipped boots.
" YAH! That's why I got those colors! I remember Chi-chan telling me about how much better it is for your hands and
how much warmer they are when you wear mittens instead of gloves! You can make snowballs better, and you won't have to
worry about things slipping through your fingers, and, and, since all your fingers are sharing the same space they can share
all the Veggie-heat your hand gives off and stay even warmer than if they were by themselves, see? " he pushed Vegeta's
fingers together to make it look a bit like a mitten, " Not to mention that when we spar you won't have to worry about
getting a finger broken! " Goku added.
" Oh. " Vegeta said, then smiled at the mittens and put them ontop of his gloves.
Goku sweatdropped, " Oh Veggie! That's not--but it's supposed to--you're defeating the whole purpose! "
" Good. I LOVE the smell of victory. " Vegeta boasted. Goku sweatdropped even more.
" Little Veggie... "
" I wonder what's in the last one. " Vegeta held up the biggest box and shook it lightly.
" VEGGIE NO!! "
" ? " Vegeta blinked at Goku, surprised, " "no"? "
" Uhh, I mean, Veggie why don't you go open that one upstairs in your room, um, in, instead of down here. " Goku
laughed nervously.
" Why? " Chi-Chi shrugged, " It's just that stupid t-shirt-- " she froze, her eyes widened, " Oh my God..YOU PUT
THOSE OTHER TWO 'TOYS' IN THERE EVEN THOUGH I TOLD YOU NOT TO, DIDN'T YOU!! " she gasped.
" NO! No Chi-chan I didn't it's just that, uhh, Veh--Veggie's shirt is special. "
" I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PUT THEM IN THERE FOR THAT EVIL LITTLE MONSTER! YOU _KNOW_ WHAT'LL HAPPEN! YOU _KNOW_ HOW HE'LL
REACT!! "
" No I don't Chi-chan! Little Veggie is a good person! He's not gonna think any creepy thoughts! " Goku defended the
smaller saiyajin, then patted the present's box, " Here Veggie. You go to your room and open your nice present oh-kay. " he
said comfortingly as if he was talking to a small child.
" What's in here that's got Onna so very testy at you? " Vegeta asked curiously.
" Nothin! Chi-chan's just jealous. " Goku brushed it off, " But don't worry cuz I got Chi-chan nice stuff too. " he
said, then started to push Vegeta towards the staircase, " Go on little Veggie. "
" Alright. " Vegeta said suspicously, then walked upstairs and into his room; closing the door behind him. Goku
bounced up the stairs and eagerly sat down indian-style infront of the ouji's bedroom door.
" Heeheeheeheeheeheehee! " Goku giggled anxiously.
" *RIP*RIP*RIP*RIP*RIP!!! " Vegeta sat on his bed as he tore apart the wrapping paper. He opened the box and picked
up the t-shirt reading 'Veggie' on it, " Where did Kakarrotto find a shirt with that nickname on it? And why is the 'i' a
carrot?? " he scratched his head, then set it down on the side of the bed. He picked up another item, " A jacket? " the ouji
took the object out of the box and sweatdropped, " A robe..... " Vegeta felt it, " Wow, a NICE robe, fuzzy too....I GUESS I
could see why Onna would be mad, but it doesn't seem THAT disturbing. Especially when you consider Kakarrotto's 'clean, pure
mind', it probably means "Veggie I don't want you to freeze your butt off before going to sleep or waking up in the morning."
...or it could mean he thinks I'm too lazy to bother getting dressed..nah. " Vegeta grabbed the dark red robe and poked his
head out of the doorway, " THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI HAS NOT BECOME LAZY IN THE DRESSING DEPARTMENT!! "
" You've been wearing the same outfit for the past 4 days! " Bulma cried up at him. Vegeta sweatdropped, then looked
down at Goku.
" Little Veggie like his new robe. It is to keep you warm when it is cold! " Goku said cheerfully.
Vegeta closed the door, then re-poked his head out; gloves and boots still intact yet he now had the robe on instead
of his training outfit, " HA! SEE THAT BULMA! I'M NOT WEARING THE SAME CLOTHES NOW! "
Bulma sweatdropped and shook her head.
" Thank you Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said to him. Goku was smiling up at the ouji's wreath.
" MISTLETOE!!! " Goku exclaimed. Vegeta yelped and slammed the door, nearly decapitating himself in the process.
" *whew*! " Vegeta wiped the nervous sweat off his forehead and walked back to the box. He opened his egg-nog and
chugged from it a couple times to calm his nerves, then picked up the remaining item inside the box while sipping from his
carton, " Hmm. " he looked the clear baggie containing the bedsheets over, " Red satin bedsheets...that was nice of
Kakarrotto. " Vegeta took another sip, then in an almost delayed reaction spit out his egg-nog all over the floor,
" BLEH-HEH-HEH!! " the ouji nearly choked on his own drink, then rapidly opened the cover to the sheets and pulled one of
the pillowcases out to feel it, " Feels expensive. " he noted, " VERY expensive. " the ouji turned to the door to his room
and crept towards it, then opened it a crack, " Ka--Kaka--Kakarrotto? " he squeaked out.
" Yeeeeeees, little Veggie? " Goku grinned stupidly.
" About the bedsheets-- "
" --aren't they GREAT! I was sitting down on the sample ones they had one of the sample beds and it felt SO GOOD that
I thought 'you know I bet little Veggie would like some nice soft comfy sheets like these. So I got 'um! " he cheerfully
explained, " SO can I come inside and help little Veggie put his new sheets on his bed? "
" NO! " Vegeta said quickly, momentarily frightened as he closed the door a fraction tighter, " I mean, Kakay, this,
this isn't some kind of setup your subconsious concocted and somehow left your consious self out of, would it? "
" ...WHAT is little Veggie TALKING ABOUT! " Goku exclaimed.
" Kakarrot. EGG-NOG, ROBE, BEDSHEETS!!! "
" THINGS THAT SMELL FUNNY! " Goku shouted as if he was on a gameshow, " Heeheeheeheehee, do I win? "
" ...NO! " Vegeta slamed the door shut.
" Aw...poo. " Goku sighed, " I can still use little Veggie's bedsheets to nap on, can't I? "
" YOU NEVER NAPPED ON MY BED BEFORE!!! "
" VEGGIE NEVER HAD REALLY COMFY SHEETS BEFORE EITHER!!!
" I SAID NO! " Vegeta snapped.
" NOW what's going on up there? " Chi-Chi stood at the bottom of the steps, unable to hear them. Bulma had migrated
outside and was presently taking part in a now 3-way snowball war between Kuririn, Yamcha, and herself. She was beaning
them senseless. The two senshi collapsed, their heads covered in snow.
" Veggie won't let me nap on his bed. " Goku sighed sadly.
" YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE NAPPING ANYWHERE _NEAR_ HIS BED TO BEGIN WITH! " Chi-Chi complained, walking up the
staircase.
" But the sheets I got Veggie are so *soft* and *warm* to my tushie. " Goku whined, leaning his head sideways against
the door.
" Then we'll go buy you some for YOUR bed. " Chi-Chi concluded.
" But Veggie has his now and I wanna try it now. "
" I SAID NO!! "
The door opened a tiny bit, " Umm, Kakarrotto? " Vegeta shifted uneasily.
" YAY! " Goku cheered, pulling the door open, ducking inside, pulling it shut and making a flying leap at the ouji's
newly-covered bed, " Ahhh...warmth... "
" My bed... " Vegeta mumbled weakly, " AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! GET OFF IT! GET OFF IT NOW!
THE KAKA-GERMS WILL SPREAD AND INFECT MY SLEEPING QUARTERS AND I'LL HAVE TO GET AN EXTERMINATOR TO GET RID OF THEM ALL AND
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY BED BECAUSE OF YOUR CHILDISH KAKA-ANTICS!! " he shrieked in terror, pushing Goku.
" ZZzz..zzZzz... " Goku only snored pleasantly.
" ... " Vegeta sweatdropped, then froze at the amount of drool welling up in Goku's open mouth. It filled one cheek
and began to run down the outside towards Vegeta's bed, " NO! GET OUT!! MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE. " Vegeta dashed around behind
Goku in an attempt to push him off the bed before the drool hit the bed, " NO KAKA-GERMS IN MY BED! NEVER! THEY'LL DUM MY
BRAIN DOWN UNTIL I AM NOTHING MORE THAN A BABBLING IDIOT!! "
" So....warrrrrrm.... " Goku mumbled off to himself. The ouji's face turned bright red. He instantly shook it off.
" Forgive me Kakarrotto. " he squinted, then lifted one leg and sent a flying kick that hurtled Goku off the bed and
into the wall where the drool in his mouth dumped out onto the floor. Vegeta sighed in relief, " That was too close. "
Goku sat there on the floor, now wide away, " Where'd the warm go? " he said at first, confused, " OH! " Goku noticed
the bed, " HEY VEGGIE! Why'd you have to go and do that! "
" YOU'RE NOT NAPPING ON MY BED!! " Vegeta screamed, " NOW GET OUT OF MY ROOM!! " he flung the door open only to see
a ticked Chi-Chi standing in the doorway, " Oh, hello Onna. "
" Ouji. " she replied.
" So, what did Kakay give YOU for Christmas? Not much, huh? " Vegeta smirked, eager to get off the topic of his own
presents.
" I don't know, I haven't opened any of my presents yet. I'm waiting till I get home. " Chi-Chi said, glaring at him.
Vegeta blinked, surprised, " Wow, you ARE a 'scrooge', aren't you Onna. " he snickered, " If I didn't know any better
, I'd say you don't care enough about Kakarrotto to even BOTHER opening the presents he so lovingly picked out. "
" GOKU is coming home with me RIGHT NOW, Ouji. " she narrowed her eyes.
" So? How did Kakay like my snow-saiyajin? And the song? "
" I LOVED IT LITTLE VEGGIE! " Goku cheered, still on the floor, " The song was sad and the snow-Veggie was yummy
until Chi-chan murdered him! " he smiled.
" "MURDERED"!? " Vegeta turned back to Chi-Chi, who only grinned evilly in response, " I'd rather not know. "
" Correct. " she said, " Follow me Go-chan, we're going home. " Chi-Chi said to the larger saiyajin, who sighed.
" But Chi-chan we just got here and I haven't even wished anyone else a Merry Christmas and I'd miss seeing everyone
opening their presents! " he whined, standing up.
" Speaking of presents, " Vegeta said, holding up a capsule, " I've got quite a few doozies present-wise for my
future servant-maid. " he told Chi-Chi, " Care to take a wild guess? " he smirked.
" No...thanks.. " Chi-Chi gritted through her teeth.
" Say, Kaka-chan, would YOU like to guess what your 'little buddy' bought especially for you? " the ouji said
smoothly, then turned around and shrieked, " AHHH! "
Goku was now asleep under the new covers on the bed, a fairly large puddle of drool dribbling onto Vegeta's pillow.
The ouji looked as if his brain was about to implode in on itself, he steadied himself just enough to keep from fainting.
Chi-Chi's jaw was hanging wide open.
" Uhhhh.... " Vegeta stared on, confused as to what he should do next. He glanced over at Chi-Chi, then back at Goku.
He shifted uneasily.
" Ouji, even YOU aren't THAT bold. " Chi-Chi chuckled, folding her arms.
" Ohhh...just-for-that-I-will-prove-you-wrong-because-I-will-not-be-in-agreement-with-YOU-on-ANYTHING, Onna! " he
shook his fist at her, then nervously and slowly crept towards the snoring, drooling peasant, " Kaka-chan? " Vegeta poked
Goku's stomach, or the general area of it, " Mistletoe. "
The larger saiyajin's eyes flew open, " MISTLE-TOE~~~? "
" *SLAM*! "
Both saiyajin froze and turned towards the doorway to see Vejitto grinning, his top half peeping through a hole in
the wall. He was holding a large mallet that had completely flattened Chi-Chi into a cartoon-pancake-like shape, " THIS IS
FUN!! " he lifted the mallet up and ducked through the hole against the wall.
Chi-Chi twitched, still flat, " AAUGH!!! " she screamed, then stuck her thumb in her mouth and breathed out, popping
the air back into her body. Chi-Chi wobbled back and forth woozily, " WHY YOU LITTLE-- " she yelled into the wall, then froze
to see no hole there. Chi-Chi glanced over at the two saiyajins, " Uh?... " she blinked, " HOW DID YOU DO THAT!! " she
snapped at Vegeta.
" Me? " Vegeta said innocently.
" Silly Chi-chan! Little Veggie didn't do anything! " Goku laughed, both saiyajins havin seen Vejitto.
" But--but-- " Chi-Chi turned around to face the wall. Gogeta popped out of a hole in the floor and threw his mallet
foward, smushing Chi-Chi into the wall.
" FWEEE! " Gogeta hooted, ducking back down into the hole in the floor.
" OOOOUUU-JIIIIIIIII!!! " Chi-Chi pulled herself off the wall and stomped towards him, " WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!! "
Goku started to giggle, Vegeta slapped his hand over Goku's mouth.
" I have absolutely NO IDEA as to WHAT you are talking about Onna. " Vegeta chuckled mildly.
" YOU _KNOW_ what I'm talking about! YOU POPPED OUT OF THE FLOOR AND SMACKED ME INTO THE WALL!! "
" Oh DID I? " Vegeta said, " And HOW did I do that while I was over here giving a sweet condolence to my Kakay-chan."
he patted Goku on the head.
" THAT'S ME! "
Chi-Chi grabbed Goku by the wrist, " Let's get out of here, GOKU. " she said the last word while glareing at Vegeta.
" Buh Kah-keeee. Don't you wanna stay here and have some yummy egg-nog with your lil-lil buddy Veggie-chaaan? " the
ouji said in a mock-baby voice.
" Awwww... " Goku awed at the smaller saiyajin's pouting, " YEAH! I wanna stay and drink myself silly with Veggie by
my side, Chi-chan! It'll be fun! " he cheered.
" NO IT WON'T! " Chi-Chi said, still dragging him out of the room.
Vegeta teleported next to Goku and floated along while Chi-Chi dragged him down the stairs. The ouji was holding a
wine glass in one hand and the egg-nog carton in his other hand. He easily poured the egg-nog into the glass, " Here you go,
take a nice long sip. "
" WHEE! " Goku grabbed the glass with his free hand and started chugging, " Mmm! Egg-nog is YUMMY, Veggie! "
" Heh-heh-heh. " Vegeta snickered. Chi-Chi froze and looked over her shoulder to see an egg-nog mustache above Goku's
lip and an empty glass in his hand. He grinned up at her.
" Hello! " he chirped.
" OOOH! " Chi-Chi grabbed the glass and threw it to the ground, " NO RUM FOR YOU!!! GOKU YOU _KNOW_ HOW YOU GET AFTER
YOU DRINK THAT KIND OF THING!! There is NO WAY I am going to deal with it! NOT today, NOT here, and especially NOT with the
Ouji around! "
" Really, and how DOES Kakay get after he's had one-to-many? " Vegeta asked, slightly interested.
" THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! " Chi-Chi snapped.
" Heeheeheehee, I feel I giggly and then everything goes black and I wake up with a pain in my head! " Goku nodded,
" But it's a good pain. "
" Umm, yes. " Chi-Chi said uneasily, a blush line over her nose. She resumed dragging Goku down the stairs,
" Honestly, I don't know WHY you bothered to even BUY such a drink for that evil little monster. "
A hand came up out of the next step and tripped Chi-Chi, causing her to wobble forward, lose her grip on Goku, and
plummet down two more steps until a mallet lifted out of the next step just as her face slammed into it. The mallet slowly
lowered back under the steps. Chi-Chi's fingers twitched, " Oww. "
" HAHA! Chi-chan flat-face! " Goku laughed. This time Chi-Chi looked seriously confused. Her face popped back in
place on its own while she tried to figure out what just happened. She narrowed her eyes at the step, then repeatedly stomped
on it with her foot.
" That is...really, creepy. " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow.
" I wonder HOW it could have happened. " Vegeta said mockingly as he floated by her and landed on the floor, then
chugged more egg-nog and paused, " That's odd, I don't feel anything. Kakarrotto are you sure you bought me the right stuff!"
::I should POISON that egg-nog while he's not looking:: Chi-Chi grumbled to herself, ::I could always blame it on a
bad expiration date, yeah:: " Aren't you going to save any of that for anyone else? " she asked him.
The ouji burped lightly, " Why? I'm the only one in who really drinks it. Besides, Kakay gave it to me as a special
gift; just like the ones I'm about to give him. " he said, tossing the capsule to the ground to reveal several VERY LARGE
presents. Goku's eyes widened with joy.
" AHHH!!! PRESENTS FOR ME!!! " he flew past both Vegeta and Chi-Chi and latched onto the biggest present, " WOW!!!
IT'S _HUGE_!! "
" Hai, one can only wonder what's in these beautifully wrapped packages, eh Kakarrotto? " Vegeta boasted as he stood
up and walked the length of the remaining steps, soon followed by Chi-Chi who was now watching everything around her out of
the corner of her eye, her hands up and ready to smack away any random mallets.
" OOooOOOooh, it's so *SHINY*... " Goku stared up at the wrapping paper.
" Why don't you open them all RIGHT NOW? " Vegeta said, urging him on.
" Hmmm.... " Goku gave it deep consideration, " --NOPE! I'll wait for everyone else to come inside so they can share
in my gift-unwrapping enjoyment! "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " Fine, we'll WAIT. " he spat out, disgusted.
Suddenly everyone rushed inside, leaving a trail of fresh snow behind them. Goku let go of his present and ran to
meet them. Chi-Chi smiled happily and followed him, leaving a ticked ouji behind.
" Hey! It's Goku! " Yamcha exclaimed and the entire gang crowded around Son and yammering on back and forth with him.
" Hmmph! " Vegeta snorted, then smirked and elbowed the floor. As if on cue a giant mallet came up from the floor
beneath Chi-Chi and slammed her head into the ceiling, the mallet quickly plummeted back under the floor too fast to be
spotted by anyone else in the group.
" Heeee~~ " Gogeta poked his head out of another hole next to Vegeta, " Vejitto-kun is right, THIS _IS_ FUN!! "
" Here, have a cookie. " Vegeta handed one over from a nearby bowl.
" Oooh, chocolate-chip! " Gogeta swallowed it, then ducked back underneath the floorboards.
" Urg.. " Chi-Chi snarled, then started floating down in pancake form again only to have another mallet appear from
the ceiling and smack her down towards the floor.
" So, how you been doing lately Goku? " Kuririn asked.
" GREAT! " he exclaimed, then whispered, " You should see what I got Chi-chan for Christmas; she hasn't opened it yet
, but BOY will she be surprised! "
" *THUNK*! " everyone froze just as Chi-Chi collapsed onto the floor.
" Wow, she sure seems pretty surprised right now, and I haven't even told her what it is yet. " Goku grinned, " SO! "
he perked up, " Who wants to go open presents! "
" YEAH!! " the others cheered and ran over to the tree in search of their presents.
" Kakarrotto, care to have an escort? " Vegeta smirked at him, then momentarily glanced down at the dizzy Chi-Chi.
" HOO-RAY! " Goku grabbed the ouji's wrist and ran after the others, " Little Veggie's escourting me! "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " It's "escorting", Kakarrotto. "
" SAME THING! " the larger saiyajin chirped as they went off.
Chi-Chi groaned as she got to her feet, " ERRR, I'LL GET YOU!!! " she screamed at the ceiling, then at the floor. She
stomped towards the kitchen.
" Hey Chi-chan where're you going? " Goku asked.
" I'M GOING TO PREPARE FOR BATTLE SO I CAN FIGHT THOSE EVIL INVISIBLE MALLETS THAT KEEP ATTACKING ME!!! " Chi-Chi
screamed as if she had gone half-nuts.
Goku just smiled back at her, " Oh-kay, Chi-chan. Have fun! " Everyone else stared at Chi-Chi; bug-eyed.
" I WILL! " she snorted, then slammed the door to the kitchen, " WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH THEM THEY'LL WISH THEY WERE
NEVER BORN!!! "

END OF PART FOUR!
Vegeta: Were Vejitto and Gogeta ever literally "born"?
Goku: (giggles) I dunno, it all depends on how you look at it.
Chuquita: (to Son) Well you did say "Then a super strong warrior will be born from the mixture of our strengths!"
Goku: Yeah, I did, but not LITERALLY *FWOOSH* out it comes and there it is!
Vegeta: (looking sickened) Are you talking about a baby or a basketball?!
Goku: What about Goggie?
Chuquita: (shrugs) I dunno, Goggie's fusion song in movie 12 says has "Our souls unite", but that's the closest I got to
somebody being born.
Goku: Heehee, *FWOOSH*.
Vegeta: (flustered) WHERE YOU EVEN _AT_ THE HOSPITAL WHEN ONNA HAD GOHAN!!!
Goku: (grins and shrugs)
Vegeta: (sweatdrops)
Chuquita: (sweatdrops also) Oh well... (grinning) I _KNEW_ I was gonna have to overlap this chapter into a part 5.
Vegeta: (snickers) Can't bear to go through the 100kb nightmare again, can you Chu?
Chuquita: (cheerful) Nope!
Goku: Poor Chi-chan, going up against both Ji-chan AND Goggie.
Chuquita: Yeah. (sighs) (looks at the date) Well it seems another year has passed us by, (perks up) Not to mention CHRISTMAS!
And now that it has passed I can say what I did and did not get!
Goku: I LOVE PRESENTS! [hugs his new gi] Especially Veggie ones!
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) Heh-heh-hehhhhhh....
Chuquita: Well, I'm proud to say I got everyone on my list (that I mentioned in the last chapter) except my plushies! And my
shounen jump is still somewhere in the mail...I hope. (looks around uneasily) I just hate how they're putting the dbz manga
in that now! You have any idea how many more 'fan-people' buy stuff out before you can get there when you encompass the fans
of like, 5 different mangas!
Vegeta: (smirks) Poor Chu, jipped out.
Chuquita: (groans) I barely have time to get to the comic store more than one time a month, unlike other people who must go,
umm, more than one time a month. (sweatdrops) Hope it gets here soon. So far I missed the first 6 "mirai trunks" chapters.
Goku: Ouch.
Chuquita: AND Veggie in his pink "bad-man" shirt!
Goku: (frowns) OUCH even more.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Again with the shirt.
Chuquita: What? I never said anything about it before. (smiles) Plus it's a cool shirt Veggie!
Goku: (giggles) It fits you so well.
Chuquita: (now giggling herself) Not to mention those bright yellow pants!
Goku: I could spot little Veggie from ANYWHERE in that outfit!
Vegeta: IT'S NOT MY FAULT! BULMA PICKED IT OUT!
Goku: Yeah, (snickers) (to Chu) At first I thought little Veggie picked it out himself without knowing. Veggie's cute when
he's uninformed of Earth-customs.
Vegeta: I WOULD NOT HAVE PICKED THAT OUT ON MY OWN! I SPENT A WHOLE YEAR OUT IN SPACE LOOKING FOR YOU TO TEACH ME ABOUT
BECOMING A SUPER SAIYAJIN AND ALL YOU DO WHEN YOU GET BACK IS LAUGH AT MY PINK SHIRT!
Goku: (eyes widen) Little Veggie spent a WHOLE YEAR in SPACE trying to find little me because he missed me SO? (eyes sparkle)
Vegeta: (sweatdrop) (glowing) Uh, yeah...
Goku: AW VEGGIE! [hugs him] Veggie is so nice to me! Nice and caring for my neeeeds.
Vegeta: (glowing) Heh-heh, yes, not like Onna who spent the whole year caring ONLY for your baka Kaka-spawn.
Goku: Hey, why DIDN'T Chi-chan come after me in a spaceship too?
Vegeta: (gets snuggled closer) Cuz Onna doesn't care about you as much as your ruler does.
Goku: (sniffles) Really?.....HEY! CHI-CHAN DOES TOO LOVE ME VEGGIE!
Chuquita: Actually that's where the manga was supposed to end.
Goku: (blinks) With me killing Freeza and lost in deep space and Veggie in deep space looking for me while everyone else is
at home?
Chuquita: (nods) That's where Akira ORIGINALLY wanted to end it.
Vegeta: (smirks) You know I kind of like THAT ending...except I wouldn't have gone super saiyajin because Kakarrotto would be
deemed the 'legendary' super saiyajin.
Chuquita: Oh! Dragonball Arena finally aired that GT "Veggie's Makeover" episode.
Goku: YAY! I wanna makeover Veggie!
Vegeta: (turns pale white) (frightened) Oh NO you don't!
Chuquita: If it's still up there while you're reading this, go check it out (dragonballarena.net) it's worth it just to see
all the ancient Veggie-flashbacks inserted into the episode uncut/undubbed. (nods) Also, GT Veggie has offically creeped me
out. He finishes his little speech by saying he now gets stronger ONLY to surpass his OWN limits and he no longer cares about
getting 'stronger than Kakarrotto'!
Goku: (happily) That's why I like 'Z' Veggie! All 100% natural Veggie-goodness in a little package a' happiness!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) You make me sound like a product.
Goku: No added preservatives like haircuts and mustaches, little Veggie!
Vegeta: (even bigger sweatdrop)
Chuquita: In episode 25 Veggie cuts his mustache off and shows Bulma and Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi didn't even know he grew one to
begin with.
Vegeta: (laughs) BAKA ONNA! Getting senile in her old age. Heh-heh.
Chuquita: Funny moments from this ep include Veggie's brief stint in the shower while recanting his whole "Kakarrotto" thing
in the Buu saga, him telling Bulma she looks cool when he sees the picture of her being 'evil and possessed' by Bebi; "Wow,
you look cool!"; AND when Bulma finally rekindles the 'I must become better than Kakarrotto' flame in the little ouji at the
very end. She says something along the lines of she knows he could do it and she would know because she is the wife of a
saiyajin. Veggie blushes and when he's first told she can get him up to level four he spits out the orange fizzy drink he was
drinking. The can's only visible letters are "BE", but I doubt they make orange-flavored beer. (sweatdrops)
Goku: (happily) You can also find Movie 8 there this week! That's the one where Veggie is tricked into thinking he's King and
I fight Brolli and Chi-chan makes me lie about myself to the PTA!
Vegeta: (boasts) I'M not ashamed of your saiyajinness, Kakarrotto!
Goku: Aww, Veggie's sweet! (hugs Veggie tighter)
Vegeta: (glowing) Hehhhhhhhhh....
Chuquita: Even though I didn't get my plushies, I DID get some dbz dvds to try on my new dvd player though. It's the first
3 movies! My favorite of the 3 is the one with Turles (the evil Goku-look-alike). I listened to his japanese voice and it's
the same person who does Goku's/Gohan's/Goten's/Bardock's. You have to give the lady credit, she had to go back and forth
between Goku, Gohan, and Turles through the whole movie. It must be hard to argue with yourself. (nods) AND I got clips in it
from parts of the early dbz episodes that were cut because Saban/Funi wanted to save time! I could swear the voice of that
Mr. Robot (episode 9) is the same voice as Veggie.
Goku: (cheery) Veggie's japanese voice person does "Captain Falcon" in Super Smash Bros. It's almost like playing as Veggie!
Chuquita: (grins) He has the same fight scream and everything.
Goku: 'Cept he's MUCH BIGGER than *little Veggie*!
Vegeta: (embarassed) I'M NOT MICROSCOPIC! STOP TALKING LIKE I'M A BABY!!
Chuquita: (curious) How tall IS Veggie?
Goku: (shrugs) I dunno, (grins) But he's MUCH LITTLER than me! [cuddles Veggie, who's face bursts into a bright red glow]
Chuquita: For the record, Dr Briefs in a Cell episode states Veggie IS 60 kilos, which is about 132 pounds.
Goku: Awww, Veggie is light!
Vegeta: ... (sweatdrops)
Goku: I bet I could bounce him off the ceiling like a ball!
Vegeta: (freezes) Err, time-to-say-goodbye-till-the-next-chapter, Kakarrotto!
Goku: (sweetly) Bye-bye audiance! (waves)
Chuquita: So long!
Goku: So short! [holds up Veggie]
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Why couldn't I be 6'3 like my father....
