I would like to start off this chapter with Pan saying two words:
Pan: Two words.
Thank you.
Disclaimer: No, no, I did not create fried rice. You look somewhere else now. **Vegeta whispers something in author's ear** OH, 'ya mean this was for DBZ? **Vegeta nods** Okay then! Since Pan probably didn't like my joke (I'm such a smartass) she can say the disclaimer.
Pan: **Ahem** Kayfig couldn't own DBZ if her life depended on it. **bows**
Kayfig: **glares, then resumes writing**
Vegeta: Didn't your Mom tell you to do something?
Kayfig: Urk! **glares at Vegeta** Can it, Veggie-chan.
Vegeta: I think you should listen to your mother more often.
Kayfig: Well, I think you should go to--
**Mom walks through door**
Kayfig: AHHH, okay, see ya later!
Kayfig: **returns hours later** Okay-now I shall write!
First, I dedicate this chapter to anyone who encouraged me to write, with a special thanks to Pan and Michi.
Chapter Five: The All-Knowing Kiwi Becomes a Counselor
"So Vegeta, is the glass half full or half empty?"
"What did the glass have in it originally?"
"Er-that's not important."
"It is to me. What did that blasted glass contain?!"
The kiwi sighed and appeared to be thinking. "Um, lemonade? Vegeta shook his head. "I despise sour things." ________________________________________________________________________
~Author avoids saying something extremely perverted~ ________________________________________________________________________
The kiwi glared at Vegeta. "That's not what you were said last night."
________________________________________________________________________
~Well........I didn't say it!~ ________________________________________________________________________
Vegeta blushed and looked away. "You're not supposed to bring personal things into light, while you're in a session. What happened last night is completely irrelevant to what's happening right now......."
________________________________________________________________________
It's FLASHBACK TIME, kiddies! Buckle your underwear, hang on to your sweater, and pray that I actually write a long chapter this time!
............And why am I using lines? ________________________________________________________________________
~Flashback~
Vegeta walked out of the living room, making a beeline to the kitchen. Geez, he was hungry--that fight with Kakkarot had left him emotionally drained. Further more, something that was really worrying him was where exactly his none-to-bright foe had ventured off to. No matter where he looked, no matter how many times he searched for Goku's energy trace, the dark-haired warrior was nowhere to be found.
Vegeta stopped at the fridge.
He'd just have to look for him tomorrow.......Kakkarot probably wouldn't even remember what happened anyway.
Vegeta slowly opened the door, reached for the milk, then heard.......
"HOWDY Y'ALL!"
Vegeta screamed as a little girl might, stumbling backwards.
Blink, blink.
A kiwi had just spoken to him.
Blink, blink.
Before Vegeta could go into a seizure, the kiwi hopped down from it's perch (the top shelf in the fridge) and smiled pleasantly.
"Want something sour?" The kiwi asked, leaning forward.
Vegeta stared and said nothing.
"Just close your eyes, and you'll get a big surprise........"

~End Flashback~
________________________________________________________________________
Vegeta: You can't just end it like that without letting anyone know what happened!!!!
Kayfig: I WOULD tell them if you'd just go away.
Vegeta: I hafta stay, I'm the star!
Kayfig: Everyone wants to be a star.......
Vegeta: What?!
~End pointless conversation~ ________________________________________________________________________
"YOU LOVED THAT SOUR SENSATION AT THE TIME!!!!" The kiwi accused. "YOU HAD THE MOST PUCKERED FACE EVER!!!"
"How else did you expect me to react?!" Vegeta yelled. "I JUST CAN'T HANDLE SOUR STARBURSTS!!!!"
________________________________________________________________________
**snickers** And you guys thought it was gonna be perverted.....didn't you?!
Silly, nasty people! ________________________________________________________________________
Both the kiwi and Vegeta were breathing heavily.
"I have to go find Kakkarot," Vegeta mumbled, standing.
The kiwi strangely had no reply.
It's just a kiwi, 'ya know. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-3 hours later- (Goku's POV)
It feels like I've been walking for days. A part of me wants to tell him, but I just can't. How would Vegeta react if he knew I had yet ANOTHER power that he could never hope to possess?
Gosh, I feel like I'm acting too superior.
Besides......
I can't imagine how Vegeta would feel if he really knew who I was.
If he REALLY knew my rank among the Sayians.
Sigh.
Oh my dear brother, what am I supposed to do now?
.......Who am I supposed to turn to NOW? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-32 years ago (Flashback)-
King Vegeta stood with his back to his eldest son, his sturdy frame shaking slightly. "We've lost contact with all the ships, and your mother has disappeared. Some have even claimed she was the one who gave Freeza (using the Japanese spelling) access to our security systems and weaponry."
Raditz sneered. "Don't worry, Father. Vegeta is off-planet and the man who posed as the father of Kakkarot and I is rumored to be dead."
The King sighed. "Yes, I heard about that. Entire crew wiped out by one measly alien species......" "Pathetic failures," Raditz dismissed with a wave of his hand.
The weary king nodded then asked in an inquisitive tone, "And what of the boy--the one destined to be a Legendary Super Sayian?"
Raditz looked away in disgust, this being his least favorite subject. "He's in a space pod headed towards Earth at this very moment."
King Vegeta smiled. "Excellent. And you will greet him later, as planned, my son?"
A slow, evil smile spread across Raditz's face as he formed a small energy ball behind his back. "Of course, Father." Raditz took a step forward, raising his energy level slightly. "Just as planned."
The king never knew what hit him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-In the Present-
Vegeta groaned and held his hands above his head as rain began to fall. If there was one thing he hated more than Kakkarot, it was rain.
Rain, rain, rain--horrible rain!
Irritated, sore, and hungry, the Sayian prince stumbled to the side of the road as a semi sped past.......
Soaking him with dirty, freezing water.
Vegeta growled and sulked his princiest sulk.
Life was so unfair. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-27 years ago (Flashback)-
"Walk faster, you slime!" Raditz snarled, pushing the captive girl along the corridor.
"Let go of me!" She shrieked, her turquoise eyes burning with hatred as she deliberately slowed her shuffle.
"I SAID MOVE, DAMN IT!" Raditz yelled, raising his arm up to strike the young girl.
Unfortunately for him, Vegeta was quick to put an end to his abuse.
The two glowered at one another.
"Leave the girl alone," Vegeta said quietly, pronouncing each word dangerously slow.
Raditz glared at him, a swear of secrecy on his life, the only thing that held him back from putting the " One and Only Sayian Prince" in his place. "Fine!" He snapped, releasing the young Earthling. "Take her if you will." Grumbling, he stalked off to his room, saying nothing more.
Vegeta stared after Raditz a moment more before looking back at the strange teen.
Before he could say anything, she gave him a quick, firm kiss on the lips, blushing ever so slightly. "Thank you for saving me."
All cold, angry thoughts left the Prince's mind as he gazed into her beautiful sparkling eyes.
A strange flutter in his stomach.......but what could it mean?
He looked away, the faintest red gathering on his cheeks as he led her down a corridor to a unoccupied room.
He untied her quickly, looking her in the eye briefly before activating the machine. "You are far from home," he explained. "You were captured on accident, a fault of my lackey, and are now being returned."
She looked at him searchingly. "But why can't I stay here with you?" She asked softly. "You've been so nice to me and I just thought-"
"Don't think," Vegeta snapped, not able to look her in the eye. "I just don't like to see something.........that I can tolerate the sight of, getting mistreated."
She glared at him, tapping her foot. "Is that so?"
Vegeta said nothing.
"Well guess what?"
"What?" Vegeta grunted as he re-connected a few wires.
"I think you love me."
He stopped to stare at her. "Your jokes are terrible, Earthling. However, I shall let it, as you say on Earth, slide."
She rolled her eyes and punched him in the shoulder. "Oh, shut up!"
A moment of silence passed between them, until he suddenly pushed her into the machine.
Before she could protest, he switched it on and watched it tremble to life.
"What's your name?" He yelled over the rumble of the space pod.
"My name?" She repeated, sounding frightened.
"Yes," Vegeta said sharply. "Your name."
"Um, well--it's Bulma Briefs!"
"Very well then, Bulma. You will remember nothing of this experience when you return to Earth."
"But-"
"And one day," He shouted as the machine roared to life and began to move. "I will find you, Bulma Briefs!"
"How will I know?" She asked, sounding scared.
"You won't," He whispered softly.
"What?! I can't hear you!"
"But I will," He said, watching the frantic girl's pod disappear into the stars. "And when I do....." He smiled and left the room, prepared to face life alone again.......for now.
~End Flashback~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kayfig: So.......whaddya think?
Vegeta: I think.......
Kayfig: Yes?
Vegeta: That had no relevance whatsoever with the current storyline.
Kayfig: **sweatdrops** Oh shut up! I actually found it to be very good plot development, character development, and it was very.......
Vegeta: **leans forward** What?
Kayfig: SWEET!!!!!!!!! **bursts into tears**
Vegeta: Oh dear.......
REVIEW, REVIEW!!!!!
It was long--just like I promised!!!!!! **hops up and down**
Pan: Two words.
Thank you.
