Quote of the Week: -from Shounen Jump #5
Kuririn: N-no way..!! Why is HE a s-super saiyajin...?! I thought you had to have a "pure heart"!
Veggie: My heart IS pure...pure EVIL!
Special Thanks Spot: LCP, Miyanon, Nekoni, tsukino_usagi00, Kyokochan83
Chuey's Corner:
[Goku and Chu giggling]
Vegeta: (grumbles) No respect at all.
Chuquita: Heh-heh, we're, sorry.
Goku: (still giggling) I just can't see little Veggie as "pure EVIL!". HAHAHAHA!!!
Vegeta: (twitches) YOU HAVE NO IDEA, KAKARROTTO!! AT ONE POINT IN MY LIFE ENTIRE GALAXIES TREMBLED IN FEAR AT THE MERE
MENTION OF MY NAME! THE WORD ALONE COULD BRING APOCOLYPSES UPON MASS PLANETS!!
Goku: Heeheehee, "Veggie"? (big grin)
Vegeta: (flatly) NO, not "Veggie". VEGETA!!
Chuquita: Aww, leave him alone, Vedge. It's just hard for Son-kun to imagine you as some evil villain who blows up planets
and such. (shrugs)
Vegeta: (sighs) It's hard for Kakarrotto to imagine ANYTHING.
Goku: HEEEEE~~~
Chuquita: (looks at TV) Well, another episode has come and gone.
Vegeta: This one went pretty fast too. (squints) HEY! THEY CUT ME OUT OF THE ENDING!!
Chuquita: What?
Vegeta: I'M IN THE END OF THIS ONE! I'm behind the tree and I call the rest of you "fools"!! THEY EVEN ENDED THIS VERSION
WITH _ONNA_ FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! And where's that annoying dub narrator!
Chuquita: They cut it there because Funi doesn't want the world to see what Goku's butt looks like. (I've seen the sub)
Vegeta: Oh, yes, Kakarrotto's rear end is ILLEGAL now!
Goku: (pouts; looks over his shoulder at his butt) WHAT DID YOU DO NOW!!
[Chu and Veggie sweatdrop]
Chuquita: Your butt didn't do anything, it was just the fact that you mooned EVERYBODY in the gang for a good two minutes
or so.
Goku: (sniffle) My behind is an illegal citizen now? My poor tushie!
Vegeta: (uncomfortable) Can we talk about something that's NOT Kakarrotto's butt!!
Goku: (feeling bold) You know what, Veggie! Maybe I should get ontop of this desk and moon everybody RIGHT NOW! [climbs out
of his seat]
Vegeta: (shrieks) AHHHHH!! KAKARROTTO DON'T!! [tries to plunk him back in his chair while glowing bright red]
Chuquita: Oh my....
Goku: Why NOT!
Vegeta: Because you can't do that sort of thing HERE either!
Goku: But, but Chi-chan says I have the cutest tushie of all.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) That's because she's your wife. Not many people know what your butt looks like, Son-kun.
Goku: (grins) They would if they hadn't cut the ending to the episode!
Vegeta: (buts in) AND my cameo!
Goku: You know what, Veggie!
Vegeta: (groans) Oh here we go again.
Goku: If I'm not allowed to moon everybody on tv, or in the audiance, maybe I'll just go into the bathroom and show my tushie
THERE!
Chuquita: You're...not allowed to do that either....
Goku: (sighs) Ohhh.. [slumps in his chair] (smiles, suddenly gets up and leaves the set)
Chuquita: (curious) Where's he going?
Vegeta: Hopefully somewhere beyond my field of vision.
Goku: [leaves the studio]
Chuquita: [walks up to the door and pales when she finds his gi next to it] Oh dear God, tell me he isn't out there.
Vegeta: [walks up next to her with a black blind-fold on] I wouldn't know....I'm blind.
Chuquita: ... [looks over at him]
Vegeta: ...
Chuquita: OH YOU ARE NOT! Now take that off and help me find Son-kun before he gets arrested for indecent exposure.
Vegeta: ...I'm not removing the blindfold until Kakarrotto his clothed again.
Chuquita: (sighs) Do you want to get him back here or do you want to be in the awkward position of us paying bail money to
get a nakee Goku out of jail?
Vegeta: ...you know, when one sense is blocked, the other four are supposed to re-emburse for it.
Chuquita: (sarcasm) Fine, you can track him down with your sense of smell, 'bloodhound'.
Vegeta: [picks up something and sniffs] Ahh, I found a clue.
Chuquita: Those're his boxers.
Vegeta: AHHH!!! [drops them to the ground and runs to the bathroom holding his arm out and screaming "unclean"]
Chuquita: Well, here's part two.
Summary: It's Valentine's day again and this time our favorite little ouji's prepared for any mushy onslaught Goku can throw
at him. But when his future self makes a surprise visit to tick off Chi-Chi, can Veggie save himself from being embarassed by
his other self? And when future Goku decides to switch places with the present one to be with his family again, will Veggie
be able to switch them back before his future self and present Goku travel too far into deep space to be found? And how did
Veggie end up with a bag of dirt as a Valentine's Day gift? Find out!
Goku: [out on a freeway somewhere 10 minutes from the studio] BEHOLD! I AM A SUPER SAIYAJIN 2 AND PROUD OF MY TUSHIE!!!
DO NOT TURN AWAY FROM THE NAKED TRUTH!!! (pauses, giggles) Heehee, naked, heehee, truth.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Wow, look at all these eisles.... " future Goku murmured as he wandered around the grocery store, " I don't like
this, what if I get lost and V-sama can't find me and I'm stuck here forever and--- " he paused and sniffed the air as a
wonderful aroma entered his nose. Goku wandered off in the direction of the smell, " MMmm, yummy! "
/dl
" That'll be 17.50. " the man at the counter said as Chi-Chi handed him the money and took the medicine, " Boy lady,
you've been comin in here a lot lately. What happened this time? "
" My husband baked cookies that taste like cement and my kid ate them. " Chi-Chi said bluntly, " Speaking of which,
where is Goku? He should've met up with me five minutes ago! " she exclaimed, walking off. Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes and
tried to sense Goku's ki, a talent she had gotten fairly better at, yet still lacked in a variety of places, " Ah-HA! "
Chi-Chi walked down a few eisles, then ducked inside one, " Alright Goku you better have a pretty good explination for-- "
she froze in shock. There was future Goku sitting on the ground in the perfume eisle, spraying himself with one of the
bottles. He turned to Chi-Chi and his eyes widened like a deer in headlights.
" Goku---WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! " she exclaimed. There were other various expensive perfume bottles strewn about the
eisle around him.
" Umm....I was starting to smell really bad so I thought I'd make myself....not, smell really bad? " future Goku gave
her a cheesy smile.
Chi-Chi groaned and slapped herself on the forehead, " As bizarre as that sounds, I sadly believe you. " she relented
, " Now let's get out of here before Goten's intestines choke to death on those blocks of doom you fed him! " she said,
grabbing Goku's wrist, walking out.
" Unbelievable! " Chi-Chi sighed, " And the PERFUME EISLE of all places! You don't even WEAR perfume! OR cologne! "
::Kuso! I didn't used to wear it, did I!:: future Goku thought to himself as they left the store, ::That was V-sama
who got me into it:: " Uhh, I thought it would be neat if I smelled like some of the foods I eat! " he grinned cheesily at
her.
" Since WHEN do you eat lilacs? " Chi-Chi said flatly, pointing to the fancy bottle Goku was still holding.
" Uhh....heh-heh, oops. " he laughed nervously, then smiled warmly at her, " If it's any consolation, Chi-chan. I
really missed you. "
" ... " she stared blankly at him, " But you were only at the other end of the store. "
::DOH!:: " But, but it's true anyway. I never felt worse in my entire life than when you went away. " future Goku
said sadly, hugging her from behind, " It was like, everything got all empty inside and I had nothing left to rely on....if,
if V-sama hadn't been there with me that day I don't know WHAT I would've done! I really loved you, Chi-chan. " he sniffled.
" Heh-heh-heh...oh Go-chan.. " Chi-Chi blushed a light red, " That's so sweet of you..... " she mused, not really
paying attention, " --wait, did you say "V-sama"? "
" ! " future Goku bolted to attention, " Of course not, Chi-chan! You're just hearing things! Having two Veggies
around today is just getting to you, that's all. " he explained.
" Oh. Good. " Chi-Chi smiled with reassurance, " Well, let's get back. " she said, then smirked at him, " Think you
can cross the street by yourself this time? "
" .... " Goku stared at the hundreds of cars flying back and forth down the street. He grabbed Chi-Chi and teleported
back into Capsule Corp instead.
/dl
" Hey! That's cheating! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, " But, I forgive you. " she smiled at Goku, who smiled weakly back.
::V-sama!:: the thought suddenly hit his mind as he looked over at the couch to see it now empty, " AHH!! future
Veggie where are you!!! " Goku began to freak out.
" Over here. "
The larger saiyajin whipped around to see future Vegeta standing behind him, waving slightly.
" OH FUTURE VEGGIE!! " he cried out in joy, latching onto him, " I was so worried!! "
" You were, huh? " future Vegeta smirked, then grinned evilly at Chi-Chi, who let out a warning growl towards him.
" Goku, let go of it. " Chi-Chi said, annoyed.
" Ah, so I'm an "it" now. " future Vegeta mocked her, " How lucky can I get, eh Kakarrotto? "
" Heeheeheehee. " future Goku laughed, only to falter when Chi-Chi started to growl at him also. He let go and sat
down on the nearby couch.
" So where's the other Ouji? " Chi-Chi asked future Vegeta suspicously.
" I believe he's throwing up at the moment. The brownies really didn't agree with him. " future Vegeta said while
smirking.
" HE DIDN'T EVEN _EAT_ ANY!! " she exclaimed, " ALL HE DID WAS PUT ONE IN HIS MOUTH AND SPIT IT BACK OUT!!! "
" The saiyajin palette is a very sensitive thing, Onna. " future Vegeta boasted.
Chi-Chi shook her fist at him, " Yeah well that won't be the only thing feeling "sensitive" around here once I'm
through with you, buster! "
" NO! Chi-chan don't punch V--future Veggie! " future Goku gasped, " He can rip you into a million little pieces!! "
his eyes started to water.
" Aww, isn't that sweet! My Go-chan showing concern for ME for a change! " Chi-Chi said touched, then grinned
victoriously at the future ouji.
" Shimatta, Kakarrotto! " present Vegeta wobbled into the rom, shaking his own fist, but rather weakly as he still
held onto his stomach in slight pain.
Future Goku sweatdropped.
" Veggie are you feeling any better? " future Goku asked curiously.
" OF COURSE I AM, baka. I just spent the last five minutes throwing up into the TOILET! " he said with half-sarcasm,
then sniffed the air, " Hnn... "
" Uh, Veggie? " future Goku sweatdropped.
" Something smells wrong here. " Vegeta narrowed his eyes at future Goku.
" Oh he wandered off to the perfume eisle in the supermarket and started spraying himself with random bottles and
saying this way he wouldn't have to take a bath when he got home. " Chi-Chi rolled her eyes.
Present Vegeta pinched his nose, " Here's a tip for you, Kakarrotto...it's not working. "
" But I thought I smelled pretty... " the larger saiyajin pouted.
" Speaking of pretty, look at THIS! " Bulma grinned as she walked into the room holding future Vegeta's walkie-talkie
like object he had been using earlier, " It's astounding! And to think I invented it! " she mused.
" Oh brother. " present Vegeta rolled his eyes.
" Bulma, have you seen Goten? I have some medicine for him. " Chi-Chi asked.
Bulma sighed, " He's upstairs in the other bathroom, throwing up. "
" Hai, he actually SWALLOWED those chunks of kaka-cement! " present Vegeta stuck his tongue out in disgust.
" I can't help it if Goku's a lousy cook, Ouji! " Chi-Chi said, annoyed, " You and I on the other hand-- "
" --happen to be very much the professionals at it. " Vegeta finished, smirking, " I'm still better at it than you
are though. "
" Don't push your luck, Ouji. I just gave you a compliment. " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at him.
" Well, looks like you've done your good deed for the day then. " Vegeta replied, only to recieve a snort as Chi-Chi
stomped up the stairs. Future Goku giggled at the sight.
" Heeheeheehee, oh little Veggie you are so silly! " future Goku said to the present ouji.
" Why yes, yes I am. " Vegeta said proudly.
" I think I better go. " future Vegeta murmured to himself.
" Huh? " future Goku paused and cocked his head towards him, " Al--already?! But V-sama!! "
" Present Kakarrotto, if I were to stay here for too long I could interupt the time/space continuem. " future Vegeta
frowned, " I'm not sure what that means, I didn't really pay that much attention to Mirai Trunks when he explained it, but
it's something very bad. "
" "Bad"? But--but what about you and me? " future Goku started to become worried.
" What about "you and me"? You're not affected. Besides, my Kakarrotto is safely tucked away in our ship. " the ouji
smiled warmly.
" Heh-heh, yes. Of course. " future Goku laughed nervously as he watched the ouji head for the door. Beads of panic
sweat dripped down his foreheadd, " Ehhhhh.... " he twitched, then grabbed onto present Vegeta's hand, whimpering slightly.
Present Vegeta sweatdropped and pulled his hand out of the larger saiyajin's, " Calm down, Kakarrotto. It's not like
I'm leaving too! "
Future Goku smiled weakly at him, then turned to the future ouji, " V-sama. " he said beggingly. Future Vegeta turned
around, standing in the doorway, " V-sama, you'll come back soon, won't you? "
" ... " future Vegeta blinked a couple times, " Of course I will return, Kakay. " he said slyly, taking the larger
saiyajin's hands. Present Vegeta visibly twitched in disgust, " And when I do I will bring you wonderful presents beyond
compare. After all, you'll be in your own spaceship cavorting about the universe soon too. "
" Hahaha, oh V-samaaa... " the larger saiyajin blushed.
Future Vegeta felt a tap on his shoulder and looked over to see his present self glaring at him, annoyed, with his
face bright red at the expression on future Goku's face.
" Will you get out of here already and quit putting these ideas into the big baka's brain! He'll bug me till the end
of TIME to travel across the universe NOW! " present Vegeta exclaimed.
" Aww, I won't bug you, Veggie. " future Goku grinned, " Especially when I know it's already going to come true. " he
mused.
" OH GOOD GOD!! " present Vegeta exclaimed, " WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE IT _THIS_ _TIME_!!!! " he groaned, walking off
" Oh, Veggie come see our future selves off! " future Goku pouted.
" NO. " Vegeta said bluntly, sitting down on the nearby sofa and folding his arms in a stubborn pout.
" Come on, Vegeta. There's no harm in it. " his future self said.
" If it's such a big event why don't we just bring EVERYONE out here! " the present one rolled his eyes, " Oh, yes.
We'll bring everybody out here and give you a big sendoff party and then you get to leave this little mudball while I sit
here with MY time's Kakarrotto pestering me to do the same with him! " he said mockingly.
" Does it really bother you that much? " future Vegeta said, surprised.
" ...you don't really remember being me, do you? " the present one said flatly.
" Well..no. I mean, not everything. " future Vegeta looked away, " A saiyajin can only remember so much. We may be
a people with infinite physical strength, but even we can't remember everything that's happened to us before. We're supposed
to die early on in battle anyway! Kakay and I are the oldest saiyajins in existance, less you count those born before us who
we recently brought back along with Bejito-sei. " he rambled on.
" Fine. Go then. " present Vegeta snorted.
" Umm, Veggie, may I-- " future Goku began.
" Yes, Kakarrot. You may see them off. " Vegeta sighed.
" Heehee. Yay! " future Goku cheered. Vegeta looked at him bug-eyed, " Uh--I mean, _YAY_!!! " he said louder in a
more simliar fashion to the present version of himself. The present ouji only looked at him oddly, then took out the tv
remote and turned the television on.
" Hmhmhm. That's me alright. " future Vegeta smiled in his younger self's direction. He then turned to future Goku,
" Kakarrotto, you have reminded me of many things of the past. Some I am eternally grateful for, and some I would rather eat
a poorly produced meat product instead of have knowledge of. "
" I love you, V-sama! " the larger saiyajin chirped as future Vegeta walked up to the ship.
" I'll see you soon, Kakay! " he waved to future Goku, who waved eagerly back.
" I HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN REAL SOON TOO, FUTURE VEGGIE!! " Goku shouted out to him as he flew up to a newly opened
part of the ship and entered through there. The ship lifted off into the horizon, then disappeared in the same white flash of
light Mirai's time machine made. Future Goku smiled upward, melancholy. He then turned to inside where everyone was in the
other room, lauging and eating together. Present Vegeta sat infront of the tv, changing the channels in a grumpy manner.
Future Goku smiled even more widely, " Yeah...sooner than you think! "
/dl
" OHhhHHHHhhhhHHhhh....where am I? " present Goku groaned, still partially blacked out. He did his best to sit up
only to find he was sitting in a broom closet. He looked down at himself, confused, then gasped, " FUTURE ME'S PRETTY OUTFIT!
HE KNOCKED ME OUT AND SWITCHED PLACES WITH ME!!!! " he panicked, gasping.
" Oh Kah-keeee~~!! " a familiar voice said in a sing-song tone from somewhere outside the closet door. Goku took a
deep breath.
" Ohhhh! It's future Veggie! What am I gonna do! How am I gonna explain to him that his me abandoned him?! How am I
gonna convince him this is all future me's fault! How am I gonna get him to let me out of here? " he paused, lost deep in
thought when all of a sudden he heard knocking on the closet door. Goku yelped.
" Kakay! Kakay what are you doing in the broom closet? We have robots to clean up all those messes for us! " Future
Vegeta shouted through the door, " Now come out and have something to drink with me! "
" Uh..... " present Goku blinked, " I can't! "
" You...can't? " future Vegeta cocked his head, confused.
" I can't because I'm stuck! " present Goku pleaded.
Future Vegeta opened the extremely small broom closet and cocked an eyebrow at him.
" I'M SAVED! " Goku announced cheesily. The ouji sweatdropped. He lept out and infront of future Vegeta, " Oh future
Veggie I'm glad you got me outta there! I was getting closetrophobic! "
" Claustrophobic. " future Vegeta corrected him.
" You're afraid of Santa Claus? " Goku blinked. Future Vegeta sweatdropped again, " OH! Future Veggie there's
something very important I have to tell you! It's about me, and the other me, and the clothes, and-- "
" --chocolate milkshake? " future Vegeta said cheerfully, holding out a glass. Goku paused and smiled at the drink.
He took it from the ouji, popped the lid off, and drank the entire thing down in one gulp.
" MMMMMMmmmm!! THAT WAS YUMMY!! " he said cheerfully.
" Kakarrotto are you feeling alright? " future Vegeta cocked an eyebrow.
" Eh--- " Goku thought for a moment, " Can I have another milkshake? "
Future Vegeta shrugged and walked over to a nearby machine. He pressed a button and a glass fell down to the table,
followed by a flow of chocolatey substance. He walked back over to Goku and handed it to him. Goku chugged the second shake
down twice as fast, " AHHHHhhhhhh! I love chocolate! " Goku chirped, " Future Veggie, I have something to tell you-- "
" --can it wait till after we eat, Kakay? " future Vegeta smirked, " I didn't have anything to eat back on Earth
because I figured Onna'd try to poison me. I left her a few little presents though. "
" Aww, that's nice little future Veggie. " Goku smiled, " What did you leave her? "
" Heh-heh-heh-heh. " the ouji snickered, " I'd rather not say. Now let's go have a snack before we both starve to
death; which is highly unlikely. " he said, heading for a large kitchen table nearby.
" Future Veggie seems very calm. " Goku said curiously.
" That's because I have won, Kakay. I have won a long, hard, and enduring battle and came out the victor! " future
Vegeta announced, " Plus I can't wait to hear the look on Onna's face when she takes a bite of those cookies down there! "
he perked up.
" Down the--- " Goku turned around and gasped. The gigantic wall of windows before him displayed the fact that they
were now hovering millions of miles above Earth. The planet nothing more than a little blueish-green dot below them. The
large saiyajin felt the breath sucked out of him, " --re. Wow......future Veggie...we're in space. "
" Why yes we are, Kaka-chan. " Vegeta boasted, " Wave goodbye to the bakas down there. " he himself waved mockingly
to the Earth, " And now, to eat! "
Goku gulped as he continued to stare out the window, " Ohhh...Chi-chan's not gonna like this. She's not gonna like
this at all. "
/dl
" Feeling better, Goten? " Chi-Chi asked her 7 year old son as he skipped down the stairs ahead of her.
" I'm much better now, Mommy, thanks! " Goten chirped, reaching the bottom of the stairs, followed by Chi-Chi five
seconds later.
" HI ONNA! " the pleasant tone to Vegeta's voice across the room caused Chi-Chi to twitch, annoyed.
" Whadda you want NOW, Ouji? " she said bluntly.
" Oh, nothing. I just thought you'd like to come sit and watch TV with us. " Vegeta said innocently. Chi-Chi braced
herself and walked toward the couch only to fall over when she saw a sleeping Goku leaning against Vegeta's shoulder as they
both sat on the couch, " Well, would you look at that, Kakay? Onna tripped. " he smirked. Future Goku continued to snore
softly in his sleep.
" GET HIM OFF YOUR SHOULDER RIGHT NOW!!! " Chi-Chi snapped angrily.
" Oh, I'm afraid I can't do that. " Vegeta shrugged, chuckling, " Kakay leaned against me about 15 minutes ago and
lulled off to sleep. When I try to wake him up he only pushes harder and that would inevitably cause me to end up squished
between the pillows and 160-some pounds of Kaka-meat. "
" ... " Chi-Chi glared at him.
" ... " Vegeta smirked.
" ... " Chi-Chi walked away and returned carrying a large crowbar over her shoulder.
" ... " Vegeta paled and started tapping Goku on his non-squished shoulder, " Kakarrotto? Kakarrotto wake up, Onna's
trying to kill your little buddy with a crowbar. " he said in a sing-song voice.
Future Goku yawned, then looked up and let out a yelp as he saw the crowbar flying at him. He held his pointer finger
out and easily sliced through the crowbar like butter until Chi-Chi was holding two smaller crowbars instead of one big one.
Vegeta's jaw hung open while Goku got off the couch.
" CHI-CHAN! " Future Goku shouted, " Be more careful when you are swinging things around, oh-kay? " the saiyajin was
slightly impressed with the way supressing his saiyago accent was going.
" Uh....uhh... " Chi-Chi looked down at the crowbar in shock.
" WHEN DID YOU GET SO STRONG!! " Vegeta demanded, " I mean, STRONG-ER! "
" Umm, I've always been strong, Veggie. " future Goku said, confused.
" Hai, BUT NOW LIKE THAT WHEN YOU'RE RELAXED!!! " Vegeta exclaimed, then felt something hit him. He narrowed his
eyes, " Kakarrotto, are you feeling alright? " he asked suspicously.
" He's FINE, Ouji! " Chi-Chi said, grabbing future Goku by the ear.
" Oww. " Goku twitched.
" Sure, Onna. You just keep telling yourself that. " Vegeta said cooley, " Just don't call me when you snap in two. "
" I'M NOT SNAPPING!!! " she snapped.
" Heeheeheehee, "snap". " future Goku giggled, only to recieve a death-glare from Chi-Chi.
" AND YOU SHUTTUP TOO! "
" Ohh... " the large saiyajin pouted, ::Wow, it's just like how I remember it! Chi-chan hasn't changed a bit!:: he
made a little mental smile.
" SNAP HER ARM IN HALF, KAKAY! " the ouji rooted from the couch.
" Oh brother. " Chi-Chi rolled her eyes, then entered the kitchen with Goku to help clean up. Bulma's mom, Bunni
Briefs, was busy cleaning off the top of the oven while two platters of chocolate chip cookies at on the table.
Future Goku sniffed the air, " Mmm, V-sama was in here. " he said quietly.
" Hi Chi-Chi! Hi Goku! Would you both care to help me clean this up, we'll work a lot faster if there's more of us. "
Bunni suggested.
" Sure Mrs. Briefs. " Chi-Chi said, then looked over at the cookies, then at Goku who was ogling at the cookies,
" May we try some-- "
" Oh of course, dear. Knock yourselves out. " Bunni smiled, waving her hand, " I could've sworn I only baked one
batch though. Very strange. "
Chi-Chi, who had taken a cookie off the blue platter, held it infront of her open mouth and froze after Bunni had
said that, " Goku, the Ouji's been in there the whole time, hasn't he? " she asked uneasily.
" Hai! " Goku smiled in Vegeta's direction, " Why? " he said, confused.
" Just asking. " Chi-Chi examined the cookie, then popped it in her mouth, " Not bad. Not bad at all. "
" I'm glad you like them, Onna. " a voice snickered from the tray. Chi-Chi blinked and pushed the cookies off the
tray and onto the kitchen table to reveal a screen featuring a grinning future Vegeta waving to them.
" OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi yelled, " I THOUGHT YOU LEFT!! "
" Oh, I did. I'm long gone along with Kakay by now. " future Vegeta said, ignoring her anger, " He just LOVES my
cooking. That's one thing I won't let the bots do for us. I just have 'the gift', I guess. " he shrugged it off in modesty.
" Oh you have SOMETHING alright. " Chi-Chi glared, then remembered something, " THE COOKIES?! WHAT DID YOU PUT IN
THEM! You POISONED them, didn't you OUJI! YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL ME SO YOU CAN TAKE _MY_ GOKU TOO SO YOU CAN HAVE A GOKU 2 FOR
1 SALE, HUH!!! " she accused him.
Future Vegeta laughed, " Bwahahaha, Onna that's ridiculous. Why would I want a second Kakarrotto can you tell me
that? "
" Oh I bet you'd have LOADS of fun with TWO of 'um, wouldn'tcha Ouji! TWO 'oujos' oh I'm sure you'd just "love"
that! " she said mockingly, then folded her arms and turned her head in the other direction, away from him.
" HI V-SAMA!!! " future Goku said eagerly, waving to him.
" Hello, Kakay. " the ouji said sweetly, causing the larger saiyajin to giggle, " Judging from your reaction I'd say
you were pretty impressed with me, is that true Kakay? Am I impressive? " he smirked.
" Heeheeheeheehee. " the larger saiyajin's cheeks turned a bright pink.
" Oh brother! " Chi-Chi groaned, " Not him TOO, now! " she pointed at future Goku while looking upwards.
" No, Onna. This has nothing to do with Kakay. " future Vegeta said, catching her attention again, " Call this a
little retribution for the treatment of your time's Kakay's baking skills. If you wanted him to know how to bake you
should've taught him, the way I taught MY Kakay recently. He can make simple dishes but nothing extravagant like I can
create. " he explained, then grinned evilly, " Those cookies you just ate, every one on that tray has a laxative baked into
it. "
Chi-Chi's face went pale.
" You're going to be crapping yourself for the next four days straight! " future Vegeta laughed at her, " Actually it
could be anywhere from 3 to 7 days. It all depends on whatever you've eaten in the past couple days. " he observed, nodding.
" OUJI I'LL KILL YOU!!! " Chi-Chi screamed.
" Ah, baka Onna. You cannot kill me. For not only am I 105 years into the future of Earth, but I am not even ON
Earth. Kakay and I are in outer space drifting far above your miserable little mudball of a planet. " future Vegeta chuckled,
" There is no possible way for you to get to me now. Why do you think I left without warning like that. " he cracked his
knuckles, " It's so much more entertaining to watch you squirm from afar. Besides, thanks to these brilliant little openers
of time and space I can now watch what's going on in the past and future as much as I could watch a tv show. " the tray
floated upward until it was right-side up, " And I'm sure this particular program will be most entertaining to view. " future
Vegeta snickered.
" YOU EVIL LITTLE JERK OF A OUJI I'LL SLAUGHTER Y--- " Chi-Chi froze, feeling something churning painfully in the
lower region of her body.
" Ah, it looks like it's about time for that laxative to kick in. " future Vegeta looked over at the watch on right
hand, " Enjoy your stay in the bathroom, Onna. You may be a while. " he said, then watched her nearly fly up the stairs to
the second floor bathroom, " BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! "
" What's so funny? " present Vegeta cocked his head as he got off the couch and walked over to the others in the
kitchen, " And why does that sound like me laughing? "
" Future Veggie put a laxative in the cookies and Chi-chan ate some so now she's in the bathroom painfully pooping it
out. " future Goku explained, pointing to the stairs, then at the hovering tray with the screen built in.
Vegeta looked over at his future self, " Is this true? " he asked curiously.
" Yes, yes it is. " future Vegeta nodded.
" ... " the present one grinned, " I'm going to get my camera and take pictures. "
" Present Veggie don't do that! It's mean! " future Goku exclaimed.
" Let him go, Kakarrotto. " the future ouji replied, " After all, I did that part already. The photos proved to be
very entertaining once I got them developed. "
" Oh. " future Goku pouted, then froze as the present one walked up from behind future Vegeta on the screen. The
present saiyajin was chewing a large wad of bubblegum, " Uhhh... "
" *POP*! " present Goku popped his bubblegum bubble, " HI OTHER ME!! " he said cheerfully, " Wow is future Veggie
nice! He has his own milkshake machine and knows how to bake all kinda pastries that're even too hard for present Veggie to
make! OH! And future Veggie's really good at video-games; be beat me 5 times in a row! " the large saiyajin excitedly rambled
on, " And you should see the view--WOW!!! IT'S AMAZING!! " he squealed, waving his arms rapidly in the air.
" ... " future Goku's bottom left eyelid twitched, slightly heart-ached.
" DIE OUJI!!! " an enraged scream came from upstairs as Vegeta raced out of the bathroom, laughing maniacally while
holding a camera in the air. A hurtled bathroom sink flew down after him. He neatly dodged it causing the sink to crash into
the floor, sending cracks thoughout the marble-tinted object.
" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! " Vegeta laughed, running past the floating tv-screen-tray and future Goku.
" HI VEGGIE! " present Goku said eagerly from behind the screen.
Vegeta screeched to a halt, then turned to the screen and cocked an eyebrow at it, " ...and when did you get in such
a kaka-ish mood? "
" Huh? " present Goku blinked.
" You weren't acting like the Kakarrotto I know the entire time you were here and NOW you are all of a sudden?! " he
exclaimed, " WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU!!! "
" I luv u, Veggie! " present Goku chirped. The ouji's face turned a bright red color. He twitched as the glow grew
brighter.
" KUSO! " present Vegeta snapped, stomping his foot and walking back into the living room.
" Heeheeheehee, silly little Veggie! " present Goku giggled.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes suspicously, then looked over at future Goku, who grinned stupidly at him. A confused
expression covered the ouji's face, " Something's very wrong here... " he mumbled.
" What do you mean? " future Vegeta asked.
" THE KAKARROTTOS! Don't they---I mean, when you first got here-- "
" --yeah? "
" --yours was acting, DIFFERENT than mine. " present Vegeta stammered.
" You mean little Veggie thinks of me as his? " present Goku's eyes widened to enormous proportions, causing the
ouji's face to flush bright red again, " THAT'S SO CUTE!!! " he sniffled, touched.
" I DIDN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY, BAKA!!! " Vegeta screamed, then yelped as the saiyajin behind him picked him up and
hugged tightly from behind.
" Mmmm~~~ "
" ... " Vegeta, still glowing bright red, looked up at future Goku, " Kakarrotto? "
" **Hai, lil Vedge'ums**! " future Goku said sweetly, rubbing the ouji's tummy.
" Kakarrotto, what did you come over to eat with me at my house yesterday? " Vegeta asked.
" Hmm.. " future Goku said, seemingly deep in thought, " Somethin YUMMY! " he squeaked out.
" Darnit! " Vegeta snapped, then squeezed himself out of the hug and looked future Goku over, then gave a tug on his
own right earlobe, " Ah-HA! "
" III--!! " present Goku almost let out a yelp as he smacked his left ear in pain.
" Hmm...you're responding unusually well to the pain, Kakarrotto. " present Vegeta smirked proudly at the future Goku
, who was rubbing his own ear in pain from something else. Vegeta noticed and let out a snort, " Aw, crap! "
" Whatsa matter, Veggie? " future Goku asked curiously.
" Kakarrotto, you didn't happen to switch places with the other Kakarrotto, did you? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow.
" HAHAHA! " his future counterpart laughed, " Why would they do that. "
" Yeah I know, especially with all this great stuff and the really super-nice future Veggie and this outfits kinda
comfy after you get used to it and the crown's so pretty. " present Goku babbled on while his future self tried to remain
oblivious to him.
" Is this normal for him. " the present Vegeta said to the future one.
" Well, I DID just give him 14 chocolate milkshakes, he may be a little hyperactive. " the future one thought outloud
" FOURTEE---what are you trying to do! SPOIL KAKARROTTO ROTTEN!!! "
" I can do anything I like with my Kakarrotto. After all, I'M his ruler. " future Vegeta snorted.
" All hail future Veggie and his milkshake machine! " present Goku sang as he bounded around the room.
" Ahhhhhhh, it's all coming together now. " present Vegeta groaned, " If you know he acts like that when he's had too
much sugar put into his body then WHY did you feed him that many milkshakes!? " he exclaimed.
Future Vegeta frowned, " Kakay locked himself in the broom closet by accident while I was gone. I felt bad for him so
I made it up to him by giving him something to drink. " he said, embarassed.
Present Vegeta looked at the Goku on the screen who was grinning stupidly, then at the one behind him who was also
grinning stupidly, " Good GOD I'm surrounded by idiots! " he groaned, smacking himself on the forehead and shaking his head
back and forth.
" *STOMP*STOMP*STOMP*STOMP* " an angry, slow-sounding stomp came from upstairs down to the first level of the house.
There stood Chi-Chi looking like she hadn't slept in days; a trail of toilet paper sticking to the bottom of her shoe. Both
oujis grinned.
" Onna. " they both chuckled at once.
" Feelin any better? " present Vegeta grinned evilly.
Chi-Chi walked up to them, ignoring both oujis, " Goku. We're going home. NOW. " she said in a dangerous voice.
" YAY! I GET TO GO _HOME_!!! " future Goku said eagerly, " But--- " he looked over at present Vegeta sadly,
" Chi-chan, may I bring my--- "
" ---THE OUJI WILL STAY HERE AND SUFFER MY WRATH COME THE MORN! " Chi-Chi roared, then grabbed a frightened Goku's
wrist and headed for the door.
Both Vegetas sweatdropped.
" Hahaha, "the morn". " present Goku laughed. He turned to the oujis, " Hey Veggies, what's "come the morn" mean? "
" I have no idea. " present Vegeta replied.
" I think it means Onna's seriously starting to crack. " future Vegeta chuckled.
" I think it makes Chi-chan sound like a pirate! " present Goku grinned, then covered one of his eyes, " Arg, ye be
walkin the plank 'come the morn'. Arg! "
" I'm never feeding you 14 chocolate shakes in a row ever again. " future Vegeta grumbled, " It makes your brain
revert back to its previous kaka-state. "
" I have my own state now? " present Goku looked confused. Future Vegeta groaned, then turned to the present ouji.
" Vegeta, I feel it would be best if Kakay and I turned in for dinner now. " future Vegeta said, " I'm going to turn
the transmitter off and would like you to then bring it to your room and put it somewhere safe so that I may contact you
"come the morn". " he joked at the end, " Haha, I almost forgot how entertaining it is to watch Onna slowly lose her mind...
can you just imagine what the one in my time is going through being able to watch us from up in heaven. Why I doubt she has
any sanity left in her! "
" Aww, Chi-chan wouldn't go crazy just cuz I was living with my favoritest person in the whole wide universe little
Veggie up in a big beautiful spaceship and gliding around deep space on amazing ad-veggietures! " Goku said happily.
" I'm the "favorite", huh? " both oujis said at once, smirking.
Goku stared at them for a moment, then burst into laughter, " HAHAHA! Veggies do that again! "
" Do what again? " the present one blinked.
" Speak at the same time! Do it again! It's so kawaii!! " the large saiyajin squealed
" Just for that I'm keeping my mouth shut and going back to watch tv. " present Vegeta snorted, " Thinks he can order
me around like a trained pet just because I supposedly crown him my oujo and buy him lavish stuff and sail across the
universe with him in the future! " he grumbled, " WELL GUESS AGAIN, KAKARROTTO! " he snapped, only to blink in surprise to
see the screen was now shut off and on the kitchen table. Vegeta shrugged, walked over to it, picked it up, and headed back
up to his bedroom.
" Ohhh, I hate it when little Veggie won't play along just because he's bein stubborn. " present Goku folded his arms
in a pout.
" You know, Kakay, I'll say anything you want me to. " future Vegeta said sweetly, smirking at him.
" OH-KAY! " Goku squealed, sitting down in a nearby chair similar to the one the future ouji was sitting in, " Say
"poundcake"! "
Future Vegeta stared at him, confused, " Uh, "poundcake"? "
" HAHAHA!! " Goku laughed, " Now say "waffle"! "
" ...waffle. " the ouji replied, getting more baffled by the second.
" Oh-kay oh-kay, now say "smushy-ushy"!! " Goku grinned widely.
Future Vegeta looked at him oddly, " "Smushy-ushy"? "
" HEE~~~ I've always wanted to hear Veggie say that! " Goku clasped his hands together.
" Why? " future Vegeta asked.
" Cuz it just sounds extra-cute when little Veggies say it! " Goku said happily.
" You really DID have too much to drink, didn't you, Kakay? " future Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Aww, don't worry about it Veggie! It wasn't the milkshakes. You see, there's been a little mix up, I'm really-- "
" --dinner? " the ouji smirked, pressing a nearby button as the wall behind them was lifted up to reveal a gigantic
table covered in expensive-looking foods.
" --really hungry. " Goku felt a driblit of drool hang out the side of his mouth.
" Good! Let's eat then. " future Vegeta said cheerfully, " It should calm you back down from all those milkshakes. "
he headed to the table, then pointed to one of the foods, " I fried some fish for you. I know how much you enjoy your fish,
Kakay. "
Goku grinned at the food, " FIIIIiiiiiiiish... " he stared at the gigantic cooked animal near one end of the table,
::Wow! It all looks so YUMMY!...but I can't go on like this, I'm not future me and future Veggie has a right to know, even if
he is especially nice and doesn't yell at me and is concerned with my safety and comfort more than I've ever seen present
Veggie do so....::
" Umm, Veggie?-- "
" ::FEED ME::!! " Goku's stomach sent the wild screaming thought to his head.
" Oh no... " the larger saiyajin twitched as his stomach roared with anxious delight at the food set before him.
" ::FEEDME FEEDME FEEDME!!:: "
" I'll tell Veggie later. " Goku came to a conclusion, then plopped down in the chair closest to the fish and started
shoveling it down his throat like a madman while dumping dozens of little sauce packets into whatever openings were left in
his mouth with his tail. 3 seconds later, Goku had finished off half the table-full of food and sat back in his chair
breathing a sigh of contentment. He untied to sash around his waist and let out a big deep breath, " AHHHHhhHHhhhhh... " Goku
lazily looked over at future Vegeta with a smile only to find the ouji staring at him like he had lost his mind, " Umm, hi
Veggie! " he said sweetly.
Vegeta's fork and knife fell from his hands onto the table and the startled little ouji got up to walk over to Goku.
He took off his right glove and placed his hand on Goku's forehead as if to check for a fever.
" Oh.....Veggie your worried. The other me doesn't eat like I do? Is he neater or some-- " that's when Goku spotted
the fork, knive, and spoon sitting next to his own now-emptied plate, " --oh. I don't eat messy in the future. And it scared
you, you think there's something wrong, don't you? ULP! " Goku yelped suddenly as Vegeta put his glove back on and hugged
onto the larger saiyajin tightly, " Awwww..poor *VEGGIE*! "
Vegeta sighed.
" Hmm, I love you Veggie! " the larger saiyajin chirped. Vegeta tightened his grip protectively.
" Kakarrotto I think you should get ready for bed. It was too tramatic for me to let you see them all again like that
and I should've thought it through. Or kept you from leaving the ship. " the ouji let go of him, " Either way I think you
could benefit from a good rest. Go take a nice bath and I'll get you some pajamas. " he said.
" Wow little Veggie. I kinda like you this way. " present Goku said, impressed, " So I really WAS right. Behind all
that grumpy Veggie-ness you really DO care for me. ::I can't WAIT to tell present Veggie!:: " he mentally grinned.
" Come Kakarrotto, let's get you some towels and I'll warm up the bathwater for you. " future Vegeta smiled weakly,
trying to recover.
" Oh-kay little buddy! " Goku gave him a thumbs-up, " I can already tell this is gonna be the best trip ever!!! "
/dl
" OHHHHHHhh....OHHHHHHHhh.....OHHHHHHHHHHHHH... "
" Will you cut that out already!! " Chi-Chi snapped, " Honestly Goku, you've been "ohhh"ing in amazement EVERYTIME
we go past something! " she complained.
" Yeah Toussan, are you feeling alright? " Gohan asked from the backseat.
" It's all so amazing! " future Goku mused, watching the towns go by, then the woods and finally the fields that lead
up to their house on Mt. Paozu, " Don't we live on the most bee-uu-tiful planet of all, Chi-chan? " he sighed dreamily.
" The Ouji drugged you while I was going to the bathroom, didn't he Goku? " Chi-Chi said, annoyed.
" Hmm? " he sighed happily at her. Chi-Chi groaned.
" Aw, Toussan's just happy to be home, just like we are, Mommy! " Goten chirped.
" I missed you guys. " future Goku said, peeking around the passangers seat and smiling warmly at the demi-saiyajins
in the backseat.
" Uhh, yeah. We missed you too, Toussan. " Gohan said, confused.
" Oh Chi-chan I can't WAIT to get home! " future Goku happily pumped a fist in the air, " Home with my family and our
beautiful house and everything all nice and happy just the way I remember it! "
" You sound like Kaasan when you came back from beating Buu. " Gohan sweatdropped.
" Who? " future Goku said absentmindedly while still smiling out the window.
Gohan fell over, " BUU! YOU KNOW! Multiple-formed pink frankenstein-like creature that re-grows his body after its
blown up and turns people into candy and eats them! THAT Buu!!! "
" ....oh yeah, the fat one, with the puppy. Him and Uub are doing a great job of protecting the planet while V-sama
and I are gone. "
" ... " silence reigned throughout the car.
" WHO THE HECK IS UUB?! " Goten shouted, extremely confused.
" Hm? Oh, Kid Buu's brainwashed self in a human body. " Goku shrugged it off.
" ... "
" I thought he was dead. " Goten cocked his head.
" Oh, he is. "
" ... "
" ... "
" Oh-kay. " Goten grinned, shrugging, then turned to Gohan, " Twisler? " he held out a piece of red licorice.
/dl
" Well, we're here. " Chi-Chi sighed, ::FINALLY!::
" ... " future Goku smushed his face against the window.
" Well? " Chi-Chi looked over at him, " Aren't you going to say something now that we've made it?! "
" ...this is it? " the saiyajin said, disappointed.
" AARG!! " Chi-Chi fell over, " WHADDA YOU MEAN "THIS IS IT?"!!!! "
" It's just that, it's smaller than I remember. " Goku frowned.
Chi-Chi glared at him, " You listen here, before I came along all you had was THAT THING! " she pointed at the small,
one-roomed little hut Goku had lived in as a child with Grampa Gohan.
" ...is that the outhouse? "
Chi-Chi fell over again, twitching, " GOKU!! Just get inside! " she gritted her teeth.
" ...the outhouse? "
" THE REGULAR HOUSE!! " she screamed, startling the large saiyajin, who slowly got out of the car, his eyes beginning
to water.
" You didn't have to yell at me, Chi-chan. Veggie never yells at me. " future Goku sniffled, " He's says he'd never
yell at his Oujo and he'll love me forever. "
" Uh-huh. " Chi-Chi said flatly, " Well "Mrs. Ouji", why don't you go inside and lie down. " she said, playing along
and showing Goku inside. The larger saiyajin smiled half-heartedly at her, calming down somewhat as the joke completely flew
over his head.
" Veggie's last name is OujiSAMA, Chi-chan. " Goku giggled.
" "Oujisama", I know, right. " she grumbled. Goku grinned at the smaller saiyajin's mention, then froze in place as
he turned his attention to the inside of the house before him.
" It's smaller than our bathroom. " Goku twitched in shock.
" What's smaller than our bathroom?! " Chi-Chi asked, cocking an eyebrow.
" Uhh--nothing, nevermind. Hahahahaha!! " he laughed nervously, " I'll just, go up to my room and nap now, oh-kay? "
he headed for the stairs, then walked off.
" Your room's to the LEFT, Goku. " Chi-Chi pointed in the correct direction.
" Of course, how silly of me. " the future saiyajin continued to laugh, then turned around and ran off to the left.
Chi-Chi turned to Gohan, " Is it just me, or are you starting to get worried too? "
/dl
" Hmm I guess this is it. " future Goku said, checking the last of the rooms down the hall. The other two consisted
of a bathroom and one he had found out to be Chi-Chi's after she had come up and found him sleeping in there instead. The
saiyajin walked inside what seemed to him to be a room just about the size of the larger closets onboard future Vegeta's
spaceship. He sighed and sat down on the bed.
" I can't believe this! V-sama has FOOTRESTS bigger than THIS! " he wailed, falling onto his back on the bed. Goku
smiled, " But at least I'm home. I must've forgotten how normal stuff is sized while spending so much time at V-sama's. " he
said happily, " But that doesn't matter now. Because I'm HOME! Home with the people I've missed most of all! This is where I
belong! In this little room in this little house with my Chi-chan and Gohan and...oh what's his name--Goten! Yeah! This is
great! I get to learn and remember things all over again. " future Goku sighed, then let out a yawn and lulled himself to
sleep, " Yup, just me, and Chi-chan, and Gohan, and Goten.....and Veggie.. "
/dl
" Wow.......this, has got to be the BIGGEST bathtub I have EVER SEEN! " present Goku gawked as he stood in the
doorway, staring out onto what looked like a bubblebath large enough to cover his entire house. He walked over to the edge
of the tub and took off one of his future self's fancy gloves, then put his finger into the water and smiled, " And it's
all nice and warm too.
" Kakay-chan! " future Vegeta said in a sing-song voice, entering the room holding several towels even bigger than he
was, " I brought you some towels to dry off with when you're done. I'll be in the main part of the ship if you need me. "
he said, setting the towels down carefully on a nearby bench, " Unless, of course, you'd like me to stay here and aid you
in the cleaning process. " the ouji smirked.
Present Goku laughed, " Hahahaha! Oh Veggie, you're so silly. Of course I can take a bath without Veggie's help.
We're not so close that we're TOTALLY dependent on each other, right? " he grinned.
The little ouji stared up at him longingly, " ... "
Goku sweatdropped, ::Or maybe we are:: he thought to himself, referensing the future saiyajins, " Umm, future Veggie,
why don't you go relax in one of the other rooms, oh-kay? " he asked, laughing nervously.
" Whatever you say, Kakay. " future Vegeta smiled brightly, then left the room. Goku let out a sigh of relief.
::Boy, I'm starting to worry about future Veggie, maybe I should call him back in later; he seemed so lonely when I
told him he could go:: Goku mentally frowned. He set the future saiyajin's crown on the ground nearby, then took the robe off
only to discover he still had his boxers on. Goku grinned, " Well isn't that nice of future me! He left me my underpants
after all! " he said happily, tossing the remaining glove and slippers to the side. He sat down near the edge of the tub,
" Hey, this means that now I have proof that I am who I am instead of me being future me! I can prove to Veggie that future
me switched us on him! Haha!" Goku laughed, then got up, "When he notices that I have a pair of boxers that couldn't possibly
lasted in good shape for over 100 years he'll KNOW we were switched and I can go back home! " he walked over to the door,
then saw something move out of the corner of his eye. Goku whipped around only to see what looked like a small dish of candy
floating in the tub. He blinked at it, then turned around and walked back over. Goku looked farther off into the distance to
see there were more than several similar little dishes floating around near the other end of the tub, " Future Veggie lets me
eat candy in the bathtub whereas Chi-chan says it will stain the walls and I might accidentally indigest a lot of soap along
with it?.... " he said with surprise. Goku picked up one of the candies and ate it, " MMMmmmm!!! " he said contently, then
glanced back at the door, " Maybe I'll tell Veggie after I clean up. " the large saiyajin grinned, then disgarded his boxers
and lundged head-first into the tub in the general direction of the candies.
/dl
" I don't know, I'm just starting to get worried about him, that's all. " Chi-Chi sighed as she sat in the living
room on the armchair across from the couch Gohan was sitting on. Goten was on the floor playing with a toy car, " I mean,
he's acting strange, and not his normal strange either. "
" Toussan's just happy to be with us, Kaasan. " Gohan tried to make sense of it, " After all, his future self had to
witness not just us, but everyone with the exception of Muten Roshi and Turtle: because they drank that age-stopping potion
before Toussan even first met them; Juuhachigou: because she's part android but from what you told me only aged in some
places that were part human and gave her sort of a partial Alzheimer's condition; and Vegeta because, well-- "
" --because he's Vegeta. " Chi-Chi said dryly.
" --no! Because he's a saiyajin also and apparently he wished them both immortal again. " Gohan ended.
" He wished them immortal BEFORE! And they're both stuck like that until October when the dragonballs will be working
again and I can go un-wish that little crime. " Chi-Chi folded her arms.
" Well you must succeed in it now or some time in the future because Toussan told me they had to go re-wish it during
a stop on Namek after first leaving Earth the day you went to the future and tried to stop them. "
" Which means if I can find some way to prevent him from RE-wishing it then my future self won't have to spend the
rest of her eternity alone in heaven while the Ouji has his way with my poor Go-chan for the rest of time!! HAHA! " Chi-Chi
lept to her feet, " Yes! That's exactly what I'll do! "
" Chi-chan? " a little voice said from atop the stairs.
" Goku! There you are! " she said in a cheerful mood, " I assume you're done taking your nap? You're earlier than
usual. "
" Chi-chan I need to take a bath. " he smiled weakly, ::That's where I would be right about now, my body's too stuck
in those habits V-sama and I have gotten into. Besides I feel all sweaty from worrying about V-sama before::
" A--alright. " Chi-Chi blinked, " There's some towels in the linen closet, I'll go start a fire for you. " she said,
getting up. Future Goku stood there, confused beyond belief.
" "fire"??? "
/dl
" Ahh, I think this'll be enough! " future Goku smiled as he walked down the hallway carrying all the towels from
the linen closet which equaled up to about the size of one of the gigantic towels future Vegeta had brought the present Goku
earlier, " Heehee, this shouldn't be so bad! I think I'll enjoy "roughing it". After all, if I did it before I can do it
again! " he pumped a fist in the air.
" Goku what are you DOING with all those towels?! " Chi-Chi gawked at him as he walked into the living room.
" Oh, I'm going to take my bubblebath now, Chi-chan. " the large saiyajin said cheerfully.
" You don't use any "bubblebath" and you only need two towels! " she exclaimed.
" No bubblebath?..... " future Goku frowned, trailing off in a sad voice, ::But, V-sama and I always bubblebath...::
" And what do you need all those towels for! That's practically every towel we OWN you have in your hands right
now! "
" EVERY towel we own? " future Goku squeaked out, shocked.
" Yes, now here, you take the two on the top and I'll go put the rest back in the linen closet, is that oh-kay with
you? " she smiled, taking the rest from him, " You need one for your body and one for your head. "
" My head is a part of my body. " future Goku said, confused.
" Do you want me to take the other one then too? "
" NO! NO NO NO!! " he shook his head violently in a panic.
" Alright then. If you need anymore firewood just call me or use that telepathy of yours, oh-kay Go-chan. " Chi-Chi
said warmly, making future Goku smile and blush.
" ~*Aww, Chi-chan*~.... " he giggled, only to blink when he suddenly realized she had left the room.
" GOHAN! CAN YOU GIVE ME A HAND WITH THESE! " Chi-Chi's voice was heard calling down the hallway.
Future Goku sighed, " So much for that happy moment. " he pouted, " If I remember right, I think the bathtub's
outside. " he said to himself outloud as if trying to remember. Goku paused infront of a door labeled "To Tub" and ahhed
in recognition, " There we go! Just what I was lookin for! " the large saiyajin happily opened the door, " HEEHEE! READY
THE SCRUBBY SPONGE CUZ HERE I COME!! " future Goku grinned as he stepped outside only to facefault at what stood before him;
namely the formerly radioactive-waste-can-turned-bathtub sitting above a small pile of burning logs while luke-warm water
bubbled inside it. Future Goku's shoulders slumped to his sides, " Oh..boy... "

2:38 AM 4/6/2003
END OF PART 2!
Chuquita: (grins) And so ends part 2!! (to audiance) I have to say I'm sorry for not finishing this sooner, but I was
pretty sick earlier in the week due to a temporarily lowered immune system. In fact I had to stay home from school on
Monday! But I'm all better now!
Vegeta: I'm not! We've been searching outside for nearly 20 minutes now and we STILL haven't found Kakarrotto!
Chuquita: Why don't you just sense for his ki already?
Vegeta: (laughs mockingly at her) HA! I'm not sensing Kakarrotto's ki while he's NAKED!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) What's the differense? Ki is just about how much energy a person has, right? What does it matter
what he's wearing?
Vegeta: (grumbles) That's the problem, he's NOT!
Chuquita: You could at least take off the blind-fold already? Son-kun's nowhere in sight!
Vegeta: That's what YOU think. The moment I take this thing off Kakarrotto will somehow magically appear infront of me and
my royal eyes will be forever stained with the most sinful sight this side of Bejito-sei!!!
Chuquita: But we're on Earth.
Vegeta: ...
Chuquita: ...
Vegeta: --OH YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT!!!
Goku: [appears behind them] (cheerfully) Oh, hi guys!
Vegeta: [tightens blindfold]
Chuquita: (attemping to avert her gaze, cheeks embarassed shade of pink) So, Son-kun, we brought you your boxers. [looks
away and holds out boxers]
Goku: (smiles) Aw, thanks Chu-sama, my lowers were starting to get a lil chilly.
Vegeta: [plugging his ears and repeating chant in saiyago]
Chuquita: Where were you, and why weren't you arrested??
Goku: (blinks) Arrested? OH! The police guys. They yelled at me to put some clothes on and I told them mine were back at
the studio so I ran back towards there to get 'um. The police started to come with me but I think I lost them about
half-way here.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) (sarcastic) Lovely.
Goku: OH! And this one person gave me an invitation to this clothesless beach! [holds out small ad card]
Vegeta: (angry) I'm NOT letting you go to a clothes-less beach, Kakarrotto!!!
Goku: (finally notices Veggie) (perks up) Hey, it's Veggie! (ultra-sweetly) ~*HI,~*VEGGIE*~!! [hugs Veggie tightly] Oh I
missed ~*you*~ my sweet little Veggie!
Vegeta: [glowing bright red] .....help.....
Chuquita: (sadly) I'm gonna miss Veggie too...
Goku: (blinks) Huh?
Vegeta: (still glowing) (dazed) Gahhhhhhh~~~
Chuquita: After Monday; the day I'm going to post this chapter; there will be no new dbz episodes EVER again. The last
episode airs Monday at 5:30pm and after that we never see Veggie--well, the only Veggie I consider to be the REAL Veggie--
--EVER AGAIN!!
Goku: (tightens hold on Veggie) (eyes start to water) Never-ever?
Chuquita: (sighs) If you don't count flashbacks.
Goku: (looking terrified) FLASHBACKS! But, but DEAD characters are in FLASHBACKS!!! (baby-voice) Lil Veggie ain't gonna
die on me. [looks down at Veggie] Wight widdle ~*Veh-gee*~...?
Vegeta: (still glowing) HehhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh....
Goku: (loud sob) OH VEGGIE!!! [presses against him] I WILL MISS YOU _SO_!!! (sniffles) If only I could change it so I
didn't run off with Uubu and stayed with little Veggie and we'd play with each other forever and nobody'd take Veggie away
and replace him with and ugly-looking clone with a mustache who doesn't love me like my real Veggie loves me! (w/big
sparkily eyes) You love me, don't you Veggie?
Vegeta: (grin) Kha-keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.........
Goku: (sniffle) I THOUGHT SO!!
Chuquita: Well, we'll always have fanfiction.
Goku: (sniff) That we will.
Chuquita: (grins) I'm gonna keep going because I have a whole bucket-load of stories I still have to write after this one!
(perks up) On a lighter note, the episode I parodied in "Scrambled" aired last Wednesday and I have to say I was mildly
pleased with it. They handled it pretty well but goofed up a little bit in the beginning not to mention a major goof up
that was such a big one I actually had to re-wind my tape and play the scene over several times so I could type it down in
a text file!
Vegeta: [trying to get out of Son's grasp] Really?
Chuquita: Yes, it's when Chi-Chi is commenting on (in the sub) how much more beautiful she is than Bulma today and that
if Bulma had a crush on Son-kun there's no way he would fall for her now.
Here's the sub scene:
{Bulma:} Is Goku really not coming?
{Chi-Chi:} Don't worry about him! Can it be that you're in love with Goku, Bulma?
{Chi-Chi:} You'd better give up that idea! Because I'm more beautiful than you.
*Everyone laughs*
{Yamucha:} That's right, today Chi-Chi is really beautiful!
{Chi-Chi:} Are you saying I'm usually not beautiful!?
*They laugh*
And here's the dub scene:
Bulma: It's just not the same without him.
Chi-Chi: Wow, you really care about Goku. Hey, why don't we change mates, Goku for Vegeta.
Bulma: Huh?
Chi-Chi: Vegeta's not as sweet, but he's certainly dependable. I think you would miss out.
[everyone laughs]
Yamcha: Hey lady, what about me? I'm available.
Chi-Chi: I'm talking about an even trade, not a downgrade.
[everyone laughs again]
[Son and Veggie stare blankly]
Vegeta: (turns green) I think I'm gonna puke.
Goku: (nervous laugh) Hahaha, wow when Chi-chan hears about this she's gonna kill whichever Funi personnel thought this
would be funny.
Vegeta: How DARE they insinuate that you can just toss saiyajins into a relationship with anyone you please!! We are a
loyal and proud warrior race and we don't just "switch mates" for FUN like that you know!!!!
Chuquita: (blinks) I can't believe they had her say "mates" too. Not even "husbands"!
Goku: Somebody at Funi's been reading fanfiction lately.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Yah, I actually saw a fic somewhere with that premise; Chi-Chi and Bulma deciding to switch you
guys for a weekend or some length of time. You also end up with each others "mates" in those stories where you
accidentally switch bodies. (sigh) It still would've been great to hear dub you say "Veggie" before the show ended. Just
once, you know. They did have Fat Buu refer to Kid Buu and himself as Big Buu and little buu; but that's not the same.
(to audiance) Oh, and any of you who prefer the nickname "Geta" instead of "Veggie" for the little Ouji have been
satisfied; Goku calls him that in 2 of the episodes aired during the first batch of new ones.
Goku: (grins) Heee~~~ "Geta" accents on the dominant vowel of my little Veggie's name, Ve-GEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-ta.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) It doesn't sound like THAT, baka!
Goku: (thinks outloud) Or would you spell that nickname like it sounds?? "Jita".
Vegeta: (groans)
Chuquita: They also did a fairly good dub job by using "Dai Kaioshin" for the big fat Kaio Buu originally absorbs to
make himself "fat" by accident.
Goku: (pokes Veggie) Heeheehee, GeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeee-tah!
Vegeta: (twitches) Just, stick with "Veggie", oh-kay, Kakarrotto.
Goku: (squeals) K! Little Veh-GEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Vegeta: (twitches again) I just can't avoid that middle syllable either way.
Chuquita: Heh-heh, poor Veggie. (to audiance) We'll see you in part 3 everybody! And if you know where I can find
any dbz sub eps to replace my lost ones, e-mail me! Or put it in the review; either one works.
Goku: (happily waves) SEE YOU IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!! (randomness) A horse is a horse, of course, of course, unless it
is a cow. :)
Vegeta: (looks at him, confused) ...you are one odd person, Kakarrotto.
Goku: (sweetly) Aww, thank you little Veggie-ta!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops)

Quote of the Week: -from Shounen Jump #5
Kuririn: N-no way..!! Why is HE a s-super saiyajin...?! I thought you had to have a "pure heart"!
Veggie: My heart IS pure...pure EVIL!
Special Thanks Spot: LCP, Miyanon, Nekoni, tsukino_usagi00, Kyokochan83
Chuey's Corner:
[Goku and Chu giggling]
Vegeta: (grumbles) No respect at all.
Chuquita: Heh-heh, we're, sorry.
Goku: (still giggling) I just can't see little Veggie as "pure EVIL!". HAHAHAHA!!!
Vegeta: (twitches) YOU HAVE NO IDEA, KAKARROTTO!! AT ONE POINT IN MY LIFE ENTIRE GALAXIES TREMBLED IN FEAR AT THE MERE
MENTION OF MY NAME! THE WORD ALONE COULD BRING APOCOLYPSES UPON MASS PLANETS!!
Goku: Heeheehee, "Veggie"? (big grin)
Vegeta: (flatly) NO, not "Veggie". VEGETA!!
Chuquita: Aww, leave him alone, Vedge. It's just hard for Son-kun to imagine you as some evil villain who blows up planets
and such. (shrugs)
Vegeta: (sighs) It's hard for Kakarrotto to imagine ANYTHING.
Goku: HEEEEE~~~
Chuquita: (looks at TV) Well, another episode has come and gone.
Vegeta: This one went pretty fast too. (squints) HEY! THEY CUT ME OUT OF THE ENDING!!
Chuquita: What?
Vegeta: I'M IN THE END OF THIS ONE! I'm behind the tree and I call the rest of you "fools"!! THEY EVEN ENDED THIS VERSION
WITH _ONNA_ FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! And where's that annoying dub narrator!
Chuquita: They cut it there because Funi doesn't want the world to see what Goku's butt looks like. (I've seen the sub)
Vegeta: Oh, yes, Kakarrotto's rear end is ILLEGAL now!
Goku: (pouts; looks over his shoulder at his butt) WHAT DID YOU DO NOW!!
[Chu and Veggie sweatdrop]
Chuquita: Your butt didn't do anything, it was just the fact that you mooned EVERYBODY in the gang for a good two minutes
or so.
Goku: (sniffle) My behind is an illegal citizen now? My poor tushie!
Vegeta: (uncomfortable) Can we talk about something that's NOT Kakarrotto's butt!!
Goku: (feeling bold) You know what, Veggie! Maybe I should get ontop of this desk and moon everybody RIGHT NOW! [climbs out
of his seat]
Vegeta: (shrieks) AHHHHH!! KAKARROTTO DON'T!! [tries to plunk him back in his chair while glowing bright red]
Chuquita: Oh my....
Goku: Why NOT!
Vegeta: Because you can't do that sort of thing HERE either!
Goku: But, but Chi-chan says I have the cutest tushie of all.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) That's because she's your wife. Not many people know what your butt looks like, Son-kun.
Goku: (grins) They would if they hadn't cut the ending to the episode!
Vegeta: (buts in) AND my cameo!
Goku: You know what, Veggie!
Vegeta: (groans) Oh here we go again.
Goku: If I'm not allowed to moon everybody on tv, or in the audiance, maybe I'll just go into the bathroom and show my tushie
THERE!
Chuquita: You're...not allowed to do that either....
Goku: (sighs) Ohhh.. [slumps in his chair] (smiles, suddenly gets up and leaves the set)
Chuquita: (curious) Where's he going?
Vegeta: Hopefully somewhere beyond my field of vision.
Goku: [leaves the studio]
Chuquita: [walks up to the door and pales when she finds his gi next to it] Oh dear God, tell me he isn't out there.
Vegeta: [walks up next to her with a black blind-fold on] I wouldn't know....I'm blind.
Chuquita: ... [looks over at him]
Vegeta: ...
Chuquita: OH YOU ARE NOT! Now take that off and help me find Son-kun before he gets arrested for indecent exposure.
Vegeta: ...I'm not removing the blindfold until Kakarrotto his clothed again.
Chuquita: (sighs) Do you want to get him back here or do you want to be in the awkward position of us paying bail money to
get a nakee Goku out of jail?
Vegeta: ...you know, when one sense is blocked, the other four are supposed to re-emburse for it.
Chuquita: (sarcasm) Fine, you can track him down with your sense of smell, 'bloodhound'.
Vegeta: [picks up something and sniffs] Ahh, I found a clue.
Chuquita: Those're his boxers.
Vegeta: AHHH!!! [drops them to the ground and runs to the bathroom holding his arm out and screaming "unclean"]
Chuquita: Well, here's part two.
Summary: It's Valentine's day again and this time our favorite little ouji's prepared for any mushy onslaught Goku can throw
at him. But when his future self makes a surprise visit to tick off Chi-Chi, can Veggie save himself from being embarassed by
his other self? And when future Goku decides to switch places with the present one to be with his family again, will Veggie
be able to switch them back before his future self and present Goku travel too far into deep space to be found? And how did
Veggie end up with a bag of dirt as a Valentine's Day gift? Find out!
Goku: [out on a freeway somewhere 10 minutes from the studio] BEHOLD! I AM A SUPER SAIYAJIN 2 AND PROUD OF MY TUSHIE!!!
DO NOT TURN AWAY FROM THE NAKED TRUTH!!! (pauses, giggles) Heehee, naked, heehee, truth.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Wow, look at all these eisles.... " future Goku murmured as he wandered around the grocery store, " I don't like
this, what if I get lost and V-sama can't find me and I'm stuck here forever and--- " he paused and sniffed the air as a
wonderful aroma entered his nose. Goku wandered off in the direction of the smell, " MMmm, yummy! "
/dl
" That'll be 17.50. " the man at the counter said as Chi-Chi handed him the money and took the medicine, " Boy lady,
you've been comin in here a lot lately. What happened this time? "
" My husband baked cookies that taste like cement and my kid ate them. " Chi-Chi said bluntly, " Speaking of which,
where is Goku? He should've met up with me five minutes ago! " she exclaimed, walking off. Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes and
tried to sense Goku's ki, a talent she had gotten fairly better at, yet still lacked in a variety of places, " Ah-HA! "
Chi-Chi walked down a few eisles, then ducked inside one, " Alright Goku you better have a pretty good explination for-- "
she froze in shock. There was future Goku sitting on the ground in the perfume eisle, spraying himself with one of the
bottles. He turned to Chi-Chi and his eyes widened like a deer in headlights.
" Goku---WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! " she exclaimed. There were other various expensive perfume bottles strewn about the
eisle around him.
" Umm....I was starting to smell really bad so I thought I'd make myself....not, smell really bad? " future Goku gave
her a cheesy smile.
Chi-Chi groaned and slapped herself on the forehead, " As bizarre as that sounds, I sadly believe you. " she relented
, " Now let's get out of here before Goten's intestines choke to death on those blocks of doom you fed him! " she said,
grabbing Goku's wrist, walking out.
" Unbelievable! " Chi-Chi sighed, " And the PERFUME EISLE of all places! You don't even WEAR perfume! OR cologne! "
::Kuso! I didn't used to wear it, did I!:: future Goku thought to himself as they left the store, ::That was V-sama
who got me into it:: " Uhh, I thought it would be neat if I smelled like some of the foods I eat! " he grinned cheesily at
her.
" Since WHEN do you eat lilacs? " Chi-Chi said flatly, pointing to the fancy bottle Goku was still holding.
" Uhh....heh-heh, oops. " he laughed nervously, then smiled warmly at her, " If it's any consolation, Chi-chan. I
really missed you. "
" ... " she stared blankly at him, " But you were only at the other end of the store. "
::DOH!:: " But, but it's true anyway. I never felt worse in my entire life than when you went away. " future Goku
said sadly, hugging her from behind, " It was like, everything got all empty inside and I had nothing left to rely on....if,
if V-sama hadn't been there with me that day I don't know WHAT I would've done! I really loved you, Chi-chan. " he sniffled.
" Heh-heh-heh...oh Go-chan.. " Chi-Chi blushed a light red, " That's so sweet of you..... " she mused, not really
paying attention, " --wait, did you say "V-sama"? "
" ! " future Goku bolted to attention, " Of course not, Chi-chan! You're just hearing things! Having two Veggies
around today is just getting to you, that's all. " he explained.
" Oh. Good. " Chi-Chi smiled with reassurance, " Well, let's get back. " she said, then smirked at him, " Think you
can cross the street by yourself this time? "
" .... " Goku stared at the hundreds of cars flying back and forth down the street. He grabbed Chi-Chi and teleported
back into Capsule Corp instead.
/dl
" Hey! That's cheating! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, " But, I forgive you. " she smiled at Goku, who smiled weakly back.
::V-sama!:: the thought suddenly hit his mind as he looked over at the couch to see it now empty, " AHH!! future
Veggie where are you!!! " Goku began to freak out.
" Over here. "
The larger saiyajin whipped around to see future Vegeta standing behind him, waving slightly.
" OH FUTURE VEGGIE!! " he cried out in joy, latching onto him, " I was so worried!! "
" You were, huh? " future Vegeta smirked, then grinned evilly at Chi-Chi, who let out a warning growl towards him.
" Goku, let go of it. " Chi-Chi said, annoyed.
" Ah, so I'm an "it" now. " future Vegeta mocked her, " How lucky can I get, eh Kakarrotto? "
" Heeheeheehee. " future Goku laughed, only to falter when Chi-Chi started to growl at him also. He let go and sat
down on the nearby couch.
" So where's the other Ouji? " Chi-Chi asked future Vegeta suspicously.
" I believe he's throwing up at the moment. The brownies really didn't agree with him. " future Vegeta said while
smirking.
" HE DIDN'T EVEN _EAT_ ANY!! " she exclaimed, " ALL HE DID WAS PUT ONE IN HIS MOUTH AND SPIT IT BACK OUT!!! "
" The saiyajin palette is a very sensitive thing, Onna. " future Vegeta boasted.
Chi-Chi shook her fist at him, " Yeah well that won't be the only thing feeling "sensitive" around here once I'm
through with you, buster! "
" NO! Chi-chan don't punch V--future Veggie! " future Goku gasped, " He can rip you into a million little pieces!! "
his eyes started to water.
" Aww, isn't that sweet! My Go-chan showing concern for ME for a change! " Chi-Chi said touched, then grinned
victoriously at the future ouji.
" Shimatta, Kakarrotto! " present Vegeta wobbled into the rom, shaking his own fist, but rather weakly as he still
held onto his stomach in slight pain.
Future Goku sweatdropped.
" Veggie are you feeling any better? " future Goku asked curiously.
" OF COURSE I AM, baka. I just spent the last five minutes throwing up into the TOILET! " he said with half-sarcasm,
then sniffed the air, " Hnn... "
" Uh, Veggie? " future Goku sweatdropped.
" Something smells wrong here. " Vegeta narrowed his eyes at future Goku.
" Oh he wandered off to the perfume eisle in the supermarket and started spraying himself with random bottles and
saying this way he wouldn't have to take a bath when he got home. " Chi-Chi rolled her eyes.
Present Vegeta pinched his nose, " Here's a tip for you, Kakarrotto...it's not working. "
" But I thought I smelled pretty... " the larger saiyajin pouted.
" Speaking of pretty, look at THIS! " Bulma grinned as she walked into the room holding future Vegeta's walkie-talkie
like object he had been using earlier, " It's astounding! And to think I invented it! " she mused.
" Oh brother. " present Vegeta rolled his eyes.
" Bulma, have you seen Goten? I have some medicine for him. " Chi-Chi asked.
Bulma sighed, " He's upstairs in the other bathroom, throwing up. "
" Hai, he actually SWALLOWED those chunks of kaka-cement! " present Vegeta stuck his tongue out in disgust.
" I can't help it if Goku's a lousy cook, Ouji! " Chi-Chi said, annoyed, " You and I on the other hand-- "
" --happen to be very much the professionals at it. " Vegeta finished, smirking, " I'm still better at it than you
are though. "
" Don't push your luck, Ouji. I just gave you a compliment. " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at him.
" Well, looks like you've done your good deed for the day then. " Vegeta replied, only to recieve a snort as Chi-Chi
stomped up the stairs. Future Goku giggled at the sight.
" Heeheeheehee, oh little Veggie you are so silly! " future Goku said to the present ouji.
" Why yes, yes I am. " Vegeta said proudly.
" I think I better go. " future Vegeta murmured to himself.
" Huh? " future Goku paused and cocked his head towards him, " Al--already?! But V-sama!! "
" Present Kakarrotto, if I were to stay here for too long I could interupt the time/space continuem. " future Vegeta
frowned, " I'm not sure what that means, I didn't really pay that much attention to Mirai Trunks when he explained it, but
it's something very bad. "
" "Bad"? But--but what about you and me? " future Goku started to become worried.
" What about "you and me"? You're not affected. Besides, my Kakarrotto is safely tucked away in our ship. " the ouji
smiled warmly.
" Heh-heh, yes. Of course. " future Goku laughed nervously as he watched the ouji head for the door. Beads of panic
sweat dripped down his foreheadd, " Ehhhhh.... " he twitched, then grabbed onto present Vegeta's hand, whimpering slightly.
Present Vegeta sweatdropped and pulled his hand out of the larger saiyajin's, " Calm down, Kakarrotto. It's not like
I'm leaving too! "
Future Goku smiled weakly at him, then turned to the future ouji, " V-sama. " he said beggingly. Future Vegeta turned
around, standing in the doorway, " V-sama, you'll come back soon, won't you? "
" ... " future Vegeta blinked a couple times, " Of course I will return, Kakay. " he said slyly, taking the larger
saiyajin's hands. Present Vegeta visibly twitched in disgust, " And when I do I will bring you wonderful presents beyond
compare. After all, you'll be in your own spaceship cavorting about the universe soon too. "
" Hahaha, oh V-samaaa... " the larger saiyajin blushed.
Future Vegeta felt a tap on his shoulder and looked over to see his present self glaring at him, annoyed, with his
face bright red at the expression on future Goku's face.
" Will you get out of here already and quit putting these ideas into the big baka's brain! He'll bug me till the end
of TIME to travel across the universe NOW! " present Vegeta exclaimed.
" Aww, I won't bug you, Veggie. " future Goku grinned, " Especially when I know it's already going to come true. " he
mused.
" OH GOOD GOD!! " present Vegeta exclaimed, " WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE IT _THIS_ _TIME_!!!! " he groaned, walking off
" Oh, Veggie come see our future selves off! " future Goku pouted.
" NO. " Vegeta said bluntly, sitting down on the nearby sofa and folding his arms in a stubborn pout.
" Come on, Vegeta. There's no harm in it. " his future self said.
" If it's such a big event why don't we just bring EVERYONE out here! " the present one rolled his eyes, " Oh, yes.
We'll bring everybody out here and give you a big sendoff party and then you get to leave this little mudball while I sit
here with MY time's Kakarrotto pestering me to do the same with him! " he said mockingly.
" Does it really bother you that much? " future Vegeta said, surprised.
" ...you don't really remember being me, do you? " the present one said flatly.
" Well..no. I mean, not everything. " future Vegeta looked away, " A saiyajin can only remember so much. We may be
a people with infinite physical strength, but even we can't remember everything that's happened to us before. We're supposed
to die early on in battle anyway! Kakay and I are the oldest saiyajins in existance, less you count those born before us who
we recently brought back along with Bejito-sei. " he rambled on.
" Fine. Go then. " present Vegeta snorted.
" Umm, Veggie, may I-- " future Goku began.
" Yes, Kakarrot. You may see them off. " Vegeta sighed.
" Heehee. Yay! " future Goku cheered. Vegeta looked at him bug-eyed, " Uh--I mean, _YAY_!!! " he said louder in a
more simliar fashion to the present version of himself. The present ouji only looked at him oddly, then took out the tv
remote and turned the television on.
" Hmhmhm. That's me alright. " future Vegeta smiled in his younger self's direction. He then turned to future Goku,
" Kakarrotto, you have reminded me of many things of the past. Some I am eternally grateful for, and some I would rather eat
a poorly produced meat product instead of have knowledge of. "
" I love you, V-sama! " the larger saiyajin chirped as future Vegeta walked up to the ship.
" I'll see you soon, Kakay! " he waved to future Goku, who waved eagerly back.
" I HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN REAL SOON TOO, FUTURE VEGGIE!! " Goku shouted out to him as he flew up to a newly opened
part of the ship and entered through there. The ship lifted off into the horizon, then disappeared in the same white flash of
light Mirai's time machine made. Future Goku smiled upward, melancholy. He then turned to inside where everyone was in the
other room, lauging and eating together. Present Vegeta sat infront of the tv, changing the channels in a grumpy manner.
Future Goku smiled even more widely, " Yeah...sooner than you think! "
/dl
" OHhhHHHHhhhhHHhhh....where am I? " present Goku groaned, still partially blacked out. He did his best to sit up
only to find he was sitting in a broom closet. He looked down at himself, confused, then gasped, " FUTURE ME'S PRETTY OUTFIT!
HE KNOCKED ME OUT AND SWITCHED PLACES WITH ME!!!! " he panicked, gasping.
" Oh Kah-keeee~~!! " a familiar voice said in a sing-song tone from somewhere outside the closet door. Goku took a
deep breath.
" Ohhhh! It's future Veggie! What am I gonna do! How am I gonna explain to him that his me abandoned him?! How am I
gonna convince him this is all future me's fault! How am I gonna get him to let me out of here? " he paused, lost deep in
thought when all of a sudden he heard knocking on the closet door. Goku yelped.
" Kakay! Kakay what are you doing in the broom closet? We have robots to clean up all those messes for us! " Future
Vegeta shouted through the door, " Now come out and have something to drink with me! "
" Uh..... " present Goku blinked, " I can't! "
" You...can't? " future Vegeta cocked his head, confused.
" I can't because I'm stuck! " present Goku pleaded.
Future Vegeta opened the extremely small broom closet and cocked an eyebrow at him.
" I'M SAVED! " Goku announced cheesily. The ouji sweatdropped. He lept out and infront of future Vegeta, " Oh future
Veggie I'm glad you got me outta there! I was getting closetrophobic! "
" Claustrophobic. " future Vegeta corrected him.
" You're afraid of Santa Claus? " Goku blinked. Future Vegeta sweatdropped again, " OH! Future Veggie there's
something very important I have to tell you! It's about me, and the other me, and the clothes, and-- "
" --chocolate milkshake? " future Vegeta said cheerfully, holding out a glass. Goku paused and smiled at the drink.
He took it from the ouji, popped the lid off, and drank the entire thing down in one gulp.
" MMMMMMmmmm!! THAT WAS YUMMY!! " he said cheerfully.
" Kakarrotto are you feeling alright? " future Vegeta cocked an eyebrow.
" Eh--- " Goku thought for a moment, " Can I have another milkshake? "
Future Vegeta shrugged and walked over to a nearby machine. He pressed a button and a glass fell down to the table,
followed by a flow of chocolatey substance. He walked back over to Goku and handed it to him. Goku chugged the second shake
down twice as fast, " AHHHHhhhhhh! I love chocolate! " Goku chirped, " Future Veggie, I have something to tell you-- "
" --can it wait till after we eat, Kakay? " future Vegeta smirked, " I didn't have anything to eat back on Earth
because I figured Onna'd try to poison me. I left her a few little presents though. "
" Aww, that's nice little future Veggie. " Goku smiled, " What did you leave her? "
" Heh-heh-heh-heh. " the ouji snickered, " I'd rather not say. Now let's go have a snack before we both starve to
death; which is highly unlikely. " he said, heading for a large kitchen table nearby.
" Future Veggie seems very calm. " Goku said curiously.
" That's because I have won, Kakay. I have won a long, hard, and enduring battle and came out the victor! " future
Vegeta announced, " Plus I can't wait to hear the look on Onna's face when she takes a bite of those cookies down there! "
he perked up.
" Down the--- " Goku turned around and gasped. The gigantic wall of windows before him displayed the fact that they
were now hovering millions of miles above Earth. The planet nothing more than a little blueish-green dot below them. The
large saiyajin felt the breath sucked out of him, " --re. Wow......future Veggie...we're in space. "
" Why yes we are, Kaka-chan. " Vegeta boasted, " Wave goodbye to the bakas down there. " he himself waved mockingly
to the Earth, " And now, to eat! "
Goku gulped as he continued to stare out the window, " Ohhh...Chi-chan's not gonna like this. She's not gonna like
this at all. "
/dl
" Feeling better, Goten? " Chi-Chi asked her 7 year old son as he skipped down the stairs ahead of her.
" I'm much better now, Mommy, thanks! " Goten chirped, reaching the bottom of the stairs, followed by Chi-Chi five
seconds later.
" HI ONNA! " the pleasant tone to Vegeta's voice across the room caused Chi-Chi to twitch, annoyed.
" Whadda you want NOW, Ouji? " she said bluntly.
" Oh, nothing. I just thought you'd like to come sit and watch TV with us. " Vegeta said innocently. Chi-Chi braced
herself and walked toward the couch only to fall over when she saw a sleeping Goku leaning against Vegeta's shoulder as they
both sat on the couch, " Well, would you look at that, Kakay? Onna tripped. " he smirked. Future Goku continued to snore
softly in his sleep.
" GET HIM OFF YOUR SHOULDER RIGHT NOW!!! " Chi-Chi snapped angrily.
" Oh, I'm afraid I can't do that. " Vegeta shrugged, chuckling, " Kakay leaned against me about 15 minutes ago and
lulled off to sleep. When I try to wake him up he only pushes harder and that would inevitably cause me to end up squished
between the pillows and 160-some pounds of Kaka-meat. "
" ... " Chi-Chi glared at him.
" ... " Vegeta smirked.
" ... " Chi-Chi walked away and returned carrying a large crowbar over her shoulder.
" ... " Vegeta paled and started tapping Goku on his non-squished shoulder, " Kakarrotto? Kakarrotto wake up, Onna's
trying to kill your little buddy with a crowbar. " he said in a sing-song voice.
Future Goku yawned, then looked up and let out a yelp as he saw the crowbar flying at him. He held his pointer finger
out and easily sliced through the crowbar like butter until Chi-Chi was holding two smaller crowbars instead of one big one.
Vegeta's jaw hung open while Goku got off the couch.
" CHI-CHAN! " Future Goku shouted, " Be more careful when you are swinging things around, oh-kay? " the saiyajin was
slightly impressed with the way supressing his saiyago accent was going.
" Uh....uhh... " Chi-Chi looked down at the crowbar in shock.
" WHEN DID YOU GET SO STRONG!! " Vegeta demanded, " I mean, STRONG-ER! "
" Umm, I've always been strong, Veggie. " future Goku said, confused.
" Hai, BUT NOW LIKE THAT WHEN YOU'RE RELAXED!!! " Vegeta exclaimed, then felt something hit him. He narrowed his
eyes, " Kakarrotto, are you feeling alright? " he asked suspicously.
" He's FINE, Ouji! " Chi-Chi said, grabbing future Goku by the ear.
" Oww. " Goku twitched.
" Sure, Onna. You just keep telling yourself that. " Vegeta said cooley, " Just don't call me when you snap in two. "
" I'M NOT SNAPPING!!! " she snapped.
" Heeheeheehee, "snap". " future Goku giggled, only to recieve a death-glare from Chi-Chi.
" AND YOU SHUTTUP TOO! "
" Ohh... " the large saiyajin pouted, ::Wow, it's just like how I remember it! Chi-chan hasn't changed a bit!:: he
made a little mental smile.
" SNAP HER ARM IN HALF, KAKAY! " the ouji rooted from the couch.
" Oh brother. " Chi-Chi rolled her eyes, then entered the kitchen with Goku to help clean up. Bulma's mom, Bunni
Briefs, was busy cleaning off the top of the oven while two platters of chocolate chip cookies at on the table.
Future Goku sniffed the air, " Mmm, V-sama was in here. " he said quietly.
" Hi Chi-Chi! Hi Goku! Would you both care to help me clean this up, we'll work a lot faster if there's more of us. "
Bunni suggested.
" Sure Mrs. Briefs. " Chi-Chi said, then looked over at the cookies, then at Goku who was ogling at the cookies,
" May we try some-- "
" Oh of course, dear. Knock yourselves out. " Bunni smiled, waving her hand, " I could've sworn I only baked one
batch though. Very strange. "
Chi-Chi, who had taken a cookie off the blue platter, held it infront of her open mouth and froze after Bunni had
said that, " Goku, the Ouji's been in there the whole time, hasn't he? " she asked uneasily.
" Hai! " Goku smiled in Vegeta's direction, " Why? " he said, confused.
" Just asking. " Chi-Chi examined the cookie, then popped it in her mouth, " Not bad. Not bad at all. "
" I'm glad you like them, Onna. " a voice snickered from the tray. Chi-Chi blinked and pushed the cookies off the
tray and onto the kitchen table to reveal a screen featuring a grinning future Vegeta waving to them.
" OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi yelled, " I THOUGHT YOU LEFT!! "
" Oh, I did. I'm long gone along with Kakay by now. " future Vegeta said, ignoring her anger, " He just LOVES my
cooking. That's one thing I won't let the bots do for us. I just have 'the gift', I guess. " he shrugged it off in modesty.
" Oh you have SOMETHING alright. " Chi-Chi glared, then remembered something, " THE COOKIES?! WHAT DID YOU PUT IN
THEM! You POISONED them, didn't you OUJI! YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL ME SO YOU CAN TAKE _MY_ GOKU TOO SO YOU CAN HAVE A GOKU 2 FOR
1 SALE, HUH!!! " she accused him.
Future Vegeta laughed, " Bwahahaha, Onna that's ridiculous. Why would I want a second Kakarrotto can you tell me
that? "
" Oh I bet you'd have LOADS of fun with TWO of 'um, wouldn'tcha Ouji! TWO 'oujos' oh I'm sure you'd just "love"
that! " she said mockingly, then folded her arms and turned her head in the other direction, away from him.
" HI V-SAMA!!! " future Goku said eagerly, waving to him.
" Hello, Kakay. " the ouji said sweetly, causing the larger saiyajin to giggle, " Judging from your reaction I'd say
you were pretty impressed with me, is that true Kakay? Am I impressive? " he smirked.
" Heeheeheeheehee. " the larger saiyajin's cheeks turned a bright pink.
" Oh brother! " Chi-Chi groaned, " Not him TOO, now! " she pointed at future Goku while looking upwards.
" No, Onna. This has nothing to do with Kakay. " future Vegeta said, catching her attention again, " Call this a
little retribution for the treatment of your time's Kakay's baking skills. If you wanted him to know how to bake you
should've taught him, the way I taught MY Kakay recently. He can make simple dishes but nothing extravagant like I can
create. " he explained, then grinned evilly, " Those cookies you just ate, every one on that tray has a laxative baked into
it. "
Chi-Chi's face went pale.
" You're going to be crapping yourself for the next four days straight! " future Vegeta laughed at her, " Actually it
could be anywhere from 3 to 7 days. It all depends on whatever you've eaten in the past couple days. " he observed, nodding.
" OUJI I'LL KILL YOU!!! " Chi-Chi screamed.
" Ah, baka Onna. You cannot kill me. For not only am I 105 years into the future of Earth, but I am not even ON
Earth. Kakay and I are in outer space drifting far above your miserable little mudball of a planet. " future Vegeta chuckled,
" There is no possible way for you to get to me now. Why do you think I left without warning like that. " he cracked his
knuckles, " It's so much more entertaining to watch you squirm from afar. Besides, thanks to these brilliant little openers
of time and space I can now watch what's going on in the past and future as much as I could watch a tv show. " the tray
floated upward until it was right-side up, " And I'm sure this particular program will be most entertaining to view. " future
Vegeta snickered.
" YOU EVIL LITTLE JERK OF A OUJI I'LL SLAUGHTER Y--- " Chi-Chi froze, feeling something churning painfully in the
lower region of her body.
" Ah, it looks like it's about time for that laxative to kick in. " future Vegeta looked over at the watch on right
hand, " Enjoy your stay in the bathroom, Onna. You may be a while. " he said, then watched her nearly fly up the stairs to
the second floor bathroom, " BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! "
" What's so funny? " present Vegeta cocked his head as he got off the couch and walked over to the others in the
kitchen, " And why does that sound like me laughing? "
" Future Veggie put a laxative in the cookies and Chi-chan ate some so now she's in the bathroom painfully pooping it
out. " future Goku explained, pointing to the stairs, then at the hovering tray with the screen built in.
Vegeta looked over at his future self, " Is this true? " he asked curiously.
" Yes, yes it is. " future Vegeta nodded.
" ... " the present one grinned, " I'm going to get my camera and take pictures. "
" Present Veggie don't do that! It's mean! " future Goku exclaimed.
" Let him go, Kakarrotto. " the future ouji replied, " After all, I did that part already. The photos proved to be
very entertaining once I got them developed. "
" Oh. " future Goku pouted, then froze as the present one walked up from behind future Vegeta on the screen. The
present saiyajin was chewing a large wad of bubblegum, " Uhhh... "
" *POP*! " present Goku popped his bubblegum bubble, " HI OTHER ME!! " he said cheerfully, " Wow is future Veggie
nice! He has his own milkshake machine and knows how to bake all kinda pastries that're even too hard for present Veggie to
make! OH! And future Veggie's really good at video-games; be beat me 5 times in a row! " the large saiyajin excitedly rambled
on, " And you should see the view--WOW!!! IT'S AMAZING!! " he squealed, waving his arms rapidly in the air.
" ... " future Goku's bottom left eyelid twitched, slightly heart-ached.
" DIE OUJI!!! " an enraged scream came from upstairs as Vegeta raced out of the bathroom, laughing maniacally while
holding a camera in the air. A hurtled bathroom sink flew down after him. He neatly dodged it causing the sink to crash into
the floor, sending cracks thoughout the marble-tinted object.
" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! " Vegeta laughed, running past the floating tv-screen-tray and future Goku.
" HI VEGGIE! " present Goku said eagerly from behind the screen.
Vegeta screeched to a halt, then turned to the screen and cocked an eyebrow at it, " ...and when did you get in such
a kaka-ish mood? "
" Huh? " present Goku blinked.
" You weren't acting like the Kakarrotto I know the entire time you were here and NOW you are all of a sudden?! " he
exclaimed, " WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU!!! "
" I luv u, Veggie! " present Goku chirped. The ouji's face turned a bright red color. He twitched as the glow grew
brighter.
" KUSO! " present Vegeta snapped, stomping his foot and walking back into the living room.
" Heeheeheehee, silly little Veggie! " present Goku giggled.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes suspicously, then looked over at future Goku, who grinned stupidly at him. A confused
expression covered the ouji's face, " Something's very wrong here... " he mumbled.
" What do you mean? " future Vegeta asked.
" THE KAKARROTTOS! Don't they---I mean, when you first got here-- "
" --yeah? "
" --yours was acting, DIFFERENT than mine. " present Vegeta stammered.
" You mean little Veggie thinks of me as his? " present Goku's eyes widened to enormous proportions, causing the
ouji's face to flush bright red again, " THAT'S SO CUTE!!! " he sniffled, touched.
" I DIDN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY, BAKA!!! " Vegeta screamed, then yelped as the saiyajin behind him picked him up and
hugged tightly from behind.
" Mmmm~~~ "
" ... " Vegeta, still glowing bright red, looked up at future Goku, " Kakarrotto? "
" **Hai, lil Vedge'ums**! " future Goku said sweetly, rubbing the ouji's tummy.
" Kakarrotto, what did you come over to eat with me at my house yesterday? " Vegeta asked.
" Hmm.. " future Goku said, seemingly deep in thought, " Somethin YUMMY! " he squeaked out.
" Darnit! " Vegeta snapped, then squeezed himself out of the hug and looked future Goku over, then gave a tug on his
own right earlobe, " Ah-HA! "
" III--!! " present Goku almost let out a yelp as he smacked his left ear in pain.
" Hmm...you're responding unusually well to the pain, Kakarrotto. " present Vegeta smirked proudly at the future Goku
, who was rubbing his own ear in pain from something else. Vegeta noticed and let out a snort, " Aw, crap! "
" Whatsa matter, Veggie? " future Goku asked curiously.
" Kakarrotto, you didn't happen to switch places with the other Kakarrotto, did you? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow.
" HAHAHA! " his future counterpart laughed, " Why would they do that. "
" Yeah I know, especially with all this great stuff and the really super-nice future Veggie and this outfits kinda
comfy after you get used to it and the crown's so pretty. " present Goku babbled on while his future self tried to remain
oblivious to him.
" Is this normal for him. " the present Vegeta said to the future one.
" Well, I DID just give him 14 chocolate milkshakes, he may be a little hyperactive. " the future one thought outloud
" FOURTEE---what are you trying to do! SPOIL KAKARROTTO ROTTEN!!! "
" I can do anything I like with my Kakarrotto. After all, I'M his ruler. " future Vegeta snorted.
" All hail future Veggie and his milkshake machine! " present Goku sang as he bounded around the room.
" Ahhhhhhh, it's all coming together now. " present Vegeta groaned, " If you know he acts like that when he's had too
much sugar put into his body then WHY did you feed him that many milkshakes!? " he exclaimed.
Future Vegeta frowned, " Kakay locked himself in the broom closet by accident while I was gone. I felt bad for him so
I made it up to him by giving him something to drink. " he said, embarassed.
Present Vegeta looked at the Goku on the screen who was grinning stupidly, then at the one behind him who was also
grinning stupidly, " Good GOD I'm surrounded by idiots! " he groaned, smacking himself on the forehead and shaking his head
back and forth.
" *STOMP*STOMP*STOMP*STOMP* " an angry, slow-sounding stomp came from upstairs down to the first level of the house.
There stood Chi-Chi looking like she hadn't slept in days; a trail of toilet paper sticking to the bottom of her shoe. Both
oujis grinned.
" Onna. " they both chuckled at once.
" Feelin any better? " present Vegeta grinned evilly.
Chi-Chi walked up to them, ignoring both oujis, " Goku. We're going home. NOW. " she said in a dangerous voice.
" YAY! I GET TO GO _HOME_!!! " future Goku said eagerly, " But--- " he looked over at present Vegeta sadly,
" Chi-chan, may I bring my--- "
" ---THE OUJI WILL STAY HERE AND SUFFER MY WRATH COME THE MORN! " Chi-Chi roared, then grabbed a frightened Goku's
wrist and headed for the door.
Both Vegetas sweatdropped.
" Hahaha, "the morn". " present Goku laughed. He turned to the oujis, " Hey Veggies, what's "come the morn" mean? "
" I have no idea. " present Vegeta replied.
" I think it means Onna's seriously starting to crack. " future Vegeta chuckled.
" I think it makes Chi-chan sound like a pirate! " present Goku grinned, then covered one of his eyes, " Arg, ye be
walkin the plank 'come the morn'. Arg! "
" I'm never feeding you 14 chocolate shakes in a row ever again. " future Vegeta grumbled, " It makes your brain
revert back to its previous kaka-state. "
" I have my own state now? " present Goku looked confused. Future Vegeta groaned, then turned to the present ouji.
" Vegeta, I feel it would be best if Kakay and I turned in for dinner now. " future Vegeta said, " I'm going to turn
the transmitter off and would like you to then bring it to your room and put it somewhere safe so that I may contact you
"come the morn". " he joked at the end, " Haha, I almost forgot how entertaining it is to watch Onna slowly lose her mind...
can you just imagine what the one in my time is going through being able to watch us from up in heaven. Why I doubt she has
any sanity left in her! "
" Aww, Chi-chan wouldn't go crazy just cuz I was living with my favoritest person in the whole wide universe little
Veggie up in a big beautiful spaceship and gliding around deep space on amazing ad-veggietures! " Goku said happily.
" I'm the "favorite", huh? " both oujis said at once, smirking.
Goku stared at them for a moment, then burst into laughter, " HAHAHA! Veggies do that again! "
" Do what again? " the present one blinked.
" Speak at the same time! Do it again! It's so kawaii!! " the large saiyajin squealed
" Just for that I'm keeping my mouth shut and going back to watch tv. " present Vegeta snorted, " Thinks he can order
me around like a trained pet just because I supposedly crown him my oujo and buy him lavish stuff and sail across the
universe with him in the future! " he grumbled, " WELL GUESS AGAIN, KAKARROTTO! " he snapped, only to blink in surprise to
see the screen was now shut off and on the kitchen table. Vegeta shrugged, walked over to it, picked it up, and headed back
up to his bedroom.
" Ohhh, I hate it when little Veggie won't play along just because he's bein stubborn. " present Goku folded his arms
in a pout.
" You know, Kakay, I'll say anything you want me to. " future Vegeta said sweetly, smirking at him.
" OH-KAY! " Goku squealed, sitting down in a nearby chair similar to the one the future ouji was sitting in, " Say
"poundcake"! "
Future Vegeta stared at him, confused, " Uh, "poundcake"? "
" HAHAHA!! " Goku laughed, " Now say "waffle"! "
" ...waffle. " the ouji replied, getting more baffled by the second.
" Oh-kay oh-kay, now say "smushy-ushy"!! " Goku grinned widely.
Future Vegeta looked at him oddly, " "Smushy-ushy"? "
" HEE~~~ I've always wanted to hear Veggie say that! " Goku clasped his hands together.
" Why? " future Vegeta asked.
" Cuz it just sounds extra-cute when little Veggies say it! " Goku said happily.
" You really DID have too much to drink, didn't you, Kakay? " future Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Aww, don't worry about it Veggie! It wasn't the milkshakes. You see, there's been a little mix up, I'm really-- "
" --dinner? " the ouji smirked, pressing a nearby button as the wall behind them was lifted up to reveal a gigantic
table covered in expensive-looking foods.
" --really hungry. " Goku felt a driblit of drool hang out the side of his mouth.
" Good! Let's eat then. " future Vegeta said cheerfully, " It should calm you back down from all those milkshakes. "
he headed to the table, then pointed to one of the foods, " I fried some fish for you. I know how much you enjoy your fish,
Kakay. "
Goku grinned at the food, " FIIIIiiiiiiiish... " he stared at the gigantic cooked animal near one end of the table,
::Wow! It all looks so YUMMY!...but I can't go on like this, I'm not future me and future Veggie has a right to know, even if
he is especially nice and doesn't yell at me and is concerned with my safety and comfort more than I've ever seen present
Veggie do so....::
" Umm, Veggie?-- "
" ::FEED ME::!! " Goku's stomach sent the wild screaming thought to his head.
" Oh no... " the larger saiyajin twitched as his stomach roared with anxious delight at the food set before him.
" ::FEEDME FEEDME FEEDME!!:: "
" I'll tell Veggie later. " Goku came to a conclusion, then plopped down in the chair closest to the fish and started
shoveling it down his throat like a madman while dumping dozens of little sauce packets into whatever openings were left in
his mouth with his tail. 3 seconds later, Goku had finished off half the table-full of food and sat back in his chair
breathing a sigh of contentment. He untied to sash around his waist and let out a big deep breath, " AHHHHhhHHhhhhh... " Goku
lazily looked over at future Vegeta with a smile only to find the ouji staring at him like he had lost his mind, " Umm, hi
Veggie! " he said sweetly.
Vegeta's fork and knife fell from his hands onto the table and the startled little ouji got up to walk over to Goku.
He took off his right glove and placed his hand on Goku's forehead as if to check for a fever.
" Oh.....Veggie your worried. The other me doesn't eat like I do? Is he neater or some-- " that's when Goku spotted
the fork, knive, and spoon sitting next to his own now-emptied plate, " --oh. I don't eat messy in the future. And it scared
you, you think there's something wrong, don't you? ULP! " Goku yelped suddenly as Vegeta put his glove back on and hugged
onto the larger saiyajin tightly, " Awwww..poor *VEGGIE*! "
Vegeta sighed.
" Hmm, I love you Veggie! " the larger saiyajin chirped. Vegeta tightened his grip protectively.
" Kakarrotto I think you should get ready for bed. It was too tramatic for me to let you see them all again like that
and I should've thought it through. Or kept you from leaving the ship. " the ouji let go of him, " Either way I think you
could benefit from a good rest. Go take a nice bath and I'll get you some pajamas. " he said.
" Wow little Veggie. I kinda like you this way. " present Goku said, impressed, " So I really WAS right. Behind all
that grumpy Veggie-ness you really DO care for me. ::I can't WAIT to tell present Veggie!:: " he mentally grinned.
" Come Kakarrotto, let's get you some towels and I'll warm up the bathwater for you. " future Vegeta smiled weakly,
trying to recover.
" Oh-kay little buddy! " Goku gave him a thumbs-up, " I can already tell this is gonna be the best trip ever!!! "
/dl
" OHHHHHHhh....OHHHHHHHhh.....OHHHHHHHHHHHHH... "
" Will you cut that out already!! " Chi-Chi snapped, " Honestly Goku, you've been "ohhh"ing in amazement EVERYTIME
we go past something! " she complained.
" Yeah Toussan, are you feeling alright? " Gohan asked from the backseat.
" It's all so amazing! " future Goku mused, watching the towns go by, then the woods and finally the fields that lead
up to their house on Mt. Paozu, " Don't we live on the most bee-uu-tiful planet of all, Chi-chan? " he sighed dreamily.
" The Ouji drugged you while I was going to the bathroom, didn't he Goku? " Chi-Chi said, annoyed.
" Hmm? " he sighed happily at her. Chi-Chi groaned.
" Aw, Toussan's just happy to be home, just like we are, Mommy! " Goten chirped.
" I missed you guys. " future Goku said, peeking around the passangers seat and smiling warmly at the demi-saiyajins
in the backseat.
" Uhh, yeah. We missed you too, Toussan. " Gohan said, confused.
" Oh Chi-chan I can't WAIT to get home! " future Goku happily pumped a fist in the air, " Home with my family and our
beautiful house and everything all nice and happy just the way I remember it! "
" You sound like Kaasan when you came back from beating Buu. " Gohan sweatdropped.
" Who? " future Goku said absentmindedly while still smiling out the window.
Gohan fell over, " BUU! YOU KNOW! Multiple-formed pink frankenstein-like creature that re-grows his body after its
blown up and turns people into candy and eats them! THAT Buu!!! "
" ....oh yeah, the fat one, with the puppy. Him and Uub are doing a great job of protecting the planet while V-sama
and I are gone. "
" ... " silence reigned throughout the car.
" WHO THE HECK IS UUB?! " Goten shouted, extremely confused.
" Hm? Oh, Kid Buu's brainwashed self in a human body. " Goku shrugged it off.
" ... "
" I thought he was dead. " Goten cocked his head.
" Oh, he is. "
" ... "
" ... "
" Oh-kay. " Goten grinned, shrugging, then turned to Gohan, " Twisler? " he held out a piece of red licorice.
/dl
" Well, we're here. " Chi-Chi sighed, ::FINALLY!::
" ... " future Goku smushed his face against the window.
" Well? " Chi-Chi looked over at him, " Aren't you going to say something now that we've made it?! "
" ...this is it? " the saiyajin said, disappointed.
" AARG!! " Chi-Chi fell over, " WHADDA YOU MEAN "THIS IS IT?"!!!! "
" It's just that, it's smaller than I remember. " Goku frowned.
Chi-Chi glared at him, " You listen here, before I came along all you had was THAT THING! " she pointed at the small,
one-roomed little hut Goku had lived in as a child with Grampa Gohan.
" ...is that the outhouse? "
Chi-Chi fell over again, twitching, " GOKU!! Just get inside! " she gritted her teeth.
" ...the outhouse? "
" THE REGULAR HOUSE!! " she screamed, startling the large saiyajin, who slowly got out of the car, his eyes beginning
to water.
" You didn't have to yell at me, Chi-chan. Veggie never yells at me. " future Goku sniffled, " He's says he'd never
yell at his Oujo and he'll love me forever. "
" Uh-huh. " Chi-Chi said flatly, " Well "Mrs. Ouji", why don't you go inside and lie down. " she said, playing along
and showing Goku inside. The larger saiyajin smiled half-heartedly at her, calming down somewhat as the joke completely flew
over his head.
" Veggie's last name is OujiSAMA, Chi-chan. " Goku giggled.
" "Oujisama", I know, right. " she grumbled. Goku grinned at the smaller saiyajin's mention, then froze in place as
he turned his attention to the inside of the house before him.
" It's smaller than our bathroom. " Goku twitched in shock.
" What's smaller than our bathroom?! " Chi-Chi asked, cocking an eyebrow.
" Uhh--nothing, nevermind. Hahahahaha!! " he laughed nervously, " I'll just, go up to my room and nap now, oh-kay? "
he headed for the stairs, then walked off.
" Your room's to the LEFT, Goku. " Chi-Chi pointed in the correct direction.
" Of course, how silly of me. " the future saiyajin continued to laugh, then turned around and ran off to the left.
Chi-Chi turned to Gohan, " Is it just me, or are you starting to get worried too? "
/dl
" Hmm I guess this is it. " future Goku said, checking the last of the rooms down the hall. The other two consisted
of a bathroom and one he had found out to be Chi-Chi's after she had come up and found him sleeping in there instead. The
saiyajin walked inside what seemed to him to be a room just about the size of the larger closets onboard future Vegeta's
spaceship. He sighed and sat down on the bed.
" I can't believe this! V-sama has FOOTRESTS bigger than THIS! " he wailed, falling onto his back on the bed. Goku
smiled, " But at least I'm home. I must've forgotten how normal stuff is sized while spending so much time at V-sama's. " he
said happily, " But that doesn't matter now. Because I'm HOME! Home with the people I've missed most of all! This is where I
belong! In this little room in this little house with my Chi-chan and Gohan and...oh what's his name--Goten! Yeah! This is
great! I get to learn and remember things all over again. " future Goku sighed, then let out a yawn and lulled himself to
sleep, " Yup, just me, and Chi-chan, and Gohan, and Goten.....and Veggie.. "
/dl
" Wow.......this, has got to be the BIGGEST bathtub I have EVER SEEN! " present Goku gawked as he stood in the
doorway, staring out onto what looked like a bubblebath large enough to cover his entire house. He walked over to the edge
of the tub and took off one of his future self's fancy gloves, then put his finger into the water and smiled, " And it's
all nice and warm too.
" Kakay-chan! " future Vegeta said in a sing-song voice, entering the room holding several towels even bigger than he
was, " I brought you some towels to dry off with when you're done. I'll be in the main part of the ship if you need me. "
he said, setting the towels down carefully on a nearby bench, " Unless, of course, you'd like me to stay here and aid you
in the cleaning process. " the ouji smirked.
Present Goku laughed, " Hahahaha! Oh Veggie, you're so silly. Of course I can take a bath without Veggie's help.
We're not so close that we're TOTALLY dependent on each other, right? " he grinned.
The little ouji stared up at him longingly, " ... "
Goku sweatdropped, ::Or maybe we are:: he thought to himself, referensing the future saiyajins, " Umm, future Veggie,
why don't you go relax in one of the other rooms, oh-kay? " he asked, laughing nervously.
" Whatever you say, Kakay. " future Vegeta smiled brightly, then left the room. Goku let out a sigh of relief.
::Boy, I'm starting to worry about future Veggie, maybe I should call him back in later; he seemed so lonely when I
told him he could go:: Goku mentally frowned. He set the future saiyajin's crown on the ground nearby, then took the robe off
only to discover he still had his boxers on. Goku grinned, " Well isn't that nice of future me! He left me my underpants
after all! " he said happily, tossing the remaining glove and slippers to the side. He sat down near the edge of the tub,
" Hey, this means that now I have proof that I am who I am instead of me being future me! I can prove to Veggie that future
me switched us on him! Haha!" Goku laughed, then got up, "When he notices that I have a pair of boxers that couldn't possibly
lasted in good shape for over 100 years he'll KNOW we were switched and I can go back home! " he walked over to the door,
then saw something move out of the corner of his eye. Goku whipped around only to see what looked like a small dish of candy
floating in the tub. He blinked at it, then turned around and walked back over. Goku looked farther off into the distance to
see there were more than several similar little dishes floating around near the other end of the tub, " Future Veggie lets me
eat candy in the bathtub whereas Chi-chan says it will stain the walls and I might accidentally indigest a lot of soap along
with it?.... " he said with surprise. Goku picked up one of the candies and ate it, " MMMmmmm!!! " he said contently, then
glanced back at the door, " Maybe I'll tell Veggie after I clean up. " the large saiyajin grinned, then disgarded his boxers
and lundged head-first into the tub in the general direction of the candies.
/dl
" I don't know, I'm just starting to get worried about him, that's all. " Chi-Chi sighed as she sat in the living
room on the armchair across from the couch Gohan was sitting on. Goten was on the floor playing with a toy car, " I mean,
he's acting strange, and not his normal strange either. "
" Toussan's just happy to be with us, Kaasan. " Gohan tried to make sense of it, " After all, his future self had to
witness not just us, but everyone with the exception of Muten Roshi and Turtle: because they drank that age-stopping potion
before Toussan even first met them; Juuhachigou: because she's part android but from what you told me only aged in some
places that were part human and gave her sort of a partial Alzheimer's condition; and Vegeta because, well-- "
" --because he's Vegeta. " Chi-Chi said dryly.
" --no! Because he's a saiyajin also and apparently he wished them both immortal again. " Gohan ended.
" He wished them immortal BEFORE! And they're both stuck like that until October when the dragonballs will be working
again and I can go un-wish that little crime. " Chi-Chi folded her arms.
" Well you must succeed in it now or some time in the future because Toussan told me they had to go re-wish it during
a stop on Namek after first leaving Earth the day you went to the future and tried to stop them. "
" Which means if I can find some way to prevent him from RE-wishing it then my future self won't have to spend the
rest of her eternity alone in heaven while the Ouji has his way with my poor Go-chan for the rest of time!! HAHA! " Chi-Chi
lept to her feet, " Yes! That's exactly what I'll do! "
" Chi-chan? " a little voice said from atop the stairs.
" Goku! There you are! " she said in a cheerful mood, " I assume you're done taking your nap? You're earlier than
usual. "
" Chi-chan I need to take a bath. " he smiled weakly, ::That's where I would be right about now, my body's too stuck
in those habits V-sama and I have gotten into. Besides I feel all sweaty from worrying about V-sama before::
" A--alright. " Chi-Chi blinked, " There's some towels in the linen closet, I'll go start a fire for you. " she said,
getting up. Future Goku stood there, confused beyond belief.
" "fire"??? "
/dl
" Ahh, I think this'll be enough! " future Goku smiled as he walked down the hallway carrying all the towels from
the linen closet which equaled up to about the size of one of the gigantic towels future Vegeta had brought the present Goku
earlier, " Heehee, this shouldn't be so bad! I think I'll enjoy "roughing it". After all, if I did it before I can do it
again! " he pumped a fist in the air.
" Goku what are you DOING with all those towels?! " Chi-Chi gawked at him as he walked into the living room.
" Oh, I'm going to take my bubblebath now, Chi-chan. " the large saiyajin said cheerfully.
" You don't use any "bubblebath" and you only need two towels! " she exclaimed.
" No bubblebath?..... " future Goku frowned, trailing off in a sad voice, ::But, V-sama and I always bubblebath...::
" And what do you need all those towels for! That's practically every towel we OWN you have in your hands right
now! "
" EVERY towel we own? " future Goku squeaked out, shocked.
" Yes, now here, you take the two on the top and I'll go put the rest back in the linen closet, is that oh-kay with
you? " she smiled, taking the rest from him, " You need one for your body and one for your head. "
" My head is a part of my body. " future Goku said, confused.
" Do you want me to take the other one then too? "
" NO! NO NO NO!! " he shook his head violently in a panic.
" Alright then. If you need anymore firewood just call me or use that telepathy of yours, oh-kay Go-chan. " Chi-Chi
said warmly, making future Goku smile and blush.
" ~*Aww, Chi-chan*~.... " he giggled, only to blink when he suddenly realized she had left the room.
" GOHAN! CAN YOU GIVE ME A HAND WITH THESE! " Chi-Chi's voice was heard calling down the hallway.
Future Goku sighed, " So much for that happy moment. " he pouted, " If I remember right, I think the bathtub's
outside. " he said to himself outloud as if trying to remember. Goku paused infront of a door labeled "To Tub" and ahhed
in recognition, " There we go! Just what I was lookin for! " the large saiyajin happily opened the door, " HEEHEE! READY
THE SCRUBBY SPONGE CUZ HERE I COME!! " future Goku grinned as he stepped outside only to facefault at what stood before him;
namely the formerly radioactive-waste-can-turned-bathtub sitting above a small pile of burning logs while luke-warm water
bubbled inside it. Future Goku's shoulders slumped to his sides, " Oh..boy... "

2:38 AM 4/6/2003
END OF PART 2!
Chuquita: (grins) And so ends part 2!! (to audiance) I have to say I'm sorry for not finishing this sooner, but I was
pretty sick earlier in the week due to a temporarily lowered immune system. In fact I had to stay home from school on
Monday! But I'm all better now!
Vegeta: I'm not! We've been searching outside for nearly 20 minutes now and we STILL haven't found Kakarrotto!
Chuquita: Why don't you just sense for his ki already?
Vegeta: (laughs mockingly at her) HA! I'm not sensing Kakarrotto's ki while he's NAKED!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) What's the differense? Ki is just about how much energy a person has, right? What does it matter
what he's wearing?
Vegeta: (grumbles) That's the problem, he's NOT!
Chuquita: You could at least take off the blind-fold already? Son-kun's nowhere in sight!
Vegeta: That's what YOU think. The moment I take this thing off Kakarrotto will somehow magically appear infront of me and
my royal eyes will be forever stained with the most sinful sight this side of Bejito-sei!!!
Chuquita: But we're on Earth.
Vegeta: ...
Chuquita: ...
Vegeta: --OH YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT!!!
Goku: [appears behind them] (cheerfully) Oh, hi guys!
Vegeta: [tightens blindfold]
Chuquita: (attemping to avert her gaze, cheeks embarassed shade of pink) So, Son-kun, we brought you your boxers. [looks
away and holds out boxers]
Goku: (smiles) Aw, thanks Chu-sama, my lowers were starting to get a lil chilly.
Vegeta: [plugging his ears and repeating chant in saiyago]
Chuquita: Where were you, and why weren't you arrested??
Goku: (blinks) Arrested? OH! The police guys. They yelled at me to put some clothes on and I told them mine were back at
the studio so I ran back towards there to get 'um. The police started to come with me but I think I lost them about
half-way here.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) (sarcastic) Lovely.
Goku: OH! And this one person gave me an invitation to this clothesless beach! [holds out small ad card]
Vegeta: (angry) I'm NOT letting you go to a clothes-less beach, Kakarrotto!!!
Goku: (finally notices Veggie) (perks up) Hey, it's Veggie! (ultra-sweetly) ~*HI,~*VEGGIE*~!! [hugs Veggie tightly] Oh I
missed ~*you*~ my sweet little Veggie!
Vegeta: [glowing bright red] .....help.....
Chuquita: (sadly) I'm gonna miss Veggie too...
Goku: (blinks) Huh?
Vegeta: (still glowing) (dazed) Gahhhhhhh~~~
Chuquita: After Monday; the day I'm going to post this chapter; there will be no new dbz episodes EVER again. The last
episode airs Monday at 5:30pm and after that we never see Veggie--well, the only Veggie I consider to be the REAL Veggie--
--EVER AGAIN!!
Goku: (tightens hold on Veggie) (eyes start to water) Never-ever?
Chuquita: (sighs) If you don't count flashbacks.
Goku: (looking terrified) FLASHBACKS! But, but DEAD characters are in FLASHBACKS!!! (baby-voice) Lil Veggie ain't gonna
die on me. [looks down at Veggie] Wight widdle ~*Veh-gee*~...?
Vegeta: (still glowing) HehhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh....
Goku: (loud sob) OH VEGGIE!!! [presses against him] I WILL MISS YOU _SO_!!! (sniffles) If only I could change it so I
didn't run off with Uubu and stayed with little Veggie and we'd play with each other forever and nobody'd take Veggie away
and replace him with and ugly-looking clone with a mustache who doesn't love me like my real Veggie loves me! (w/big
sparkily eyes) You love me, don't you Veggie?
Vegeta: (grin) Kha-keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.........
Goku: (sniffle) I THOUGHT SO!!
Chuquita: Well, we'll always have fanfiction.
Goku: (sniff) That we will.
Chuquita: (grins) I'm gonna keep going because I have a whole bucket-load of stories I still have to write after this one!
(perks up) On a lighter note, the episode I parodied in "Scrambled" aired last Wednesday and I have to say I was mildly
pleased with it. They handled it pretty well but goofed up a little bit in the beginning not to mention a major goof up
that was such a big one I actually had to re-wind my tape and play the scene over several times so I could type it down in
a text file!
Vegeta: [trying to get out of Son's grasp] Really?
Chuquita: Yes, it's when Chi-Chi is commenting on (in the sub) how much more beautiful she is than Bulma today and that
if Bulma had a crush on Son-kun there's no way he would fall for her now.
Here's the sub scene:
{Bulma:} Is Goku really not coming?
{Chi-Chi:} Don't worry about him! Can it be that you're in love with Goku, Bulma?
{Chi-Chi:} You'd better give up that idea! Because I'm more beautiful than you.
*Everyone laughs*
{Yamucha:} That's right, today Chi-Chi is really beautiful!
{Chi-Chi:} Are you saying I'm usually not beautiful!?
*They laugh*
And here's the dub scene:
Bulma: It's just not the same without him.
Chi-Chi: Wow, you really care about Goku. Hey, why don't we change mates, Goku for Vegeta.
Bulma: Huh?
Chi-Chi: Vegeta's not as sweet, but he's certainly dependable. I think you would miss out.
[everyone laughs]
Yamcha: Hey lady, what about me? I'm available.
Chi-Chi: I'm talking about an even trade, not a downgrade.
[everyone laughs again]
[Son and Veggie stare blankly]
Vegeta: (turns green) I think I'm gonna puke.
Goku: (nervous laugh) Hahaha, wow when Chi-chan hears about this she's gonna kill whichever Funi personnel thought this
would be funny.
Vegeta: How DARE they insinuate that you can just toss saiyajins into a relationship with anyone you please!! We are a
loyal and proud warrior race and we don't just "switch mates" for FUN like that you know!!!!
Chuquita: (blinks) I can't believe they had her say "mates" too. Not even "husbands"!
Goku: Somebody at Funi's been reading fanfiction lately.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Yah, I actually saw a fic somewhere with that premise; Chi-Chi and Bulma deciding to switch you
guys for a weekend or some length of time. You also end up with each others "mates" in those stories where you
accidentally switch bodies. (sigh) It still would've been great to hear dub you say "Veggie" before the show ended. Just
once, you know. They did have Fat Buu refer to Kid Buu and himself as Big Buu and little buu; but that's not the same.
(to audiance) Oh, and any of you who prefer the nickname "Geta" instead of "Veggie" for the little Ouji have been
satisfied; Goku calls him that in 2 of the episodes aired during the first batch of new ones.
Goku: (grins) Heee~~~ "Geta" accents on the dominant vowel of my little Veggie's name, Ve-GEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-ta.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) It doesn't sound like THAT, baka!
Goku: (thinks outloud) Or would you spell that nickname like it sounds?? "Jita".
Vegeta: (groans)
Chuquita: They also did a fairly good dub job by using "Dai Kaioshin" for the big fat Kaio Buu originally absorbs to
make himself "fat" by accident.
Goku: (pokes Veggie) Heeheehee, GeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeee-tah!
Vegeta: (twitches) Just, stick with "Veggie", oh-kay, Kakarrotto.
Goku: (squeals) K! Little Veh-GEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Vegeta: (twitches again) I just can't avoid that middle syllable either way.
Chuquita: Heh-heh, poor Veggie. (to audiance) We'll see you in part 3 everybody! And if you know where I can find
any dbz sub eps to replace my lost ones, e-mail me! Or put it in the review; either one works.
Goku: (happily waves) SEE YOU IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!! (randomness) A horse is a horse, of course, of course, unless it
is a cow. :)
Vegeta: (looks at him, confused) ...you are one odd person, Kakarrotto.
Goku: (sweetly) Aww, thank you little Veggie-ta!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops)
