Quote of the Week: -from DuBZ #291 "Goku's Next Journey"
Goku: (to Veggie) Hey Vegeta, sorry to disappoint you, I was looking forward to one more bout with the prince of all saiyans.
Veggie: Don't worry about it, we couldn't play, not here. When we fight we'll need a whole planet for an arena.
Goku: (laughs) You're too much, (quieter) Goodbye, my friend. [flies off]
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Well, there you have it. The dub's last Veggie & Son-kun conversation.
Goku: (eyes widen) (big grin) Veggie **PLAYS** with me!!! I WANNA PLAY WITH VEGGIE!!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) No, you don't. Trust me.
Goku: [pats Veggie on the head] Of course I trust you, Veggie!
Vegeta: --that's not what I meant by that, I meant I'd rather not play with you right now.
Goku: (not paying attention) (musing) Wow, me and Veggie play all sorts of games together after the entire Buu incident...
that must be so much fun!!!
Vegeta: (grumbles) I wasn't talking kiddie-games, I was talking about sparring.
Goku: Heeheehee, Veggie-playtime! (looks over at Veggie) Did you say something?
Vegeta: (sigh)
Chuquita: (points out) What I liked is how Veggie did mention going to another planet to spar against you.
Goku: (grinning at Veggie) Heehee, PLAY with me~~~
Vegeta: ... (glowing bright red, scoots away from Son a bit)
Goku: Veggie PLAYYYYS with me...(gushes joyfully) I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! (hugs Veggie) (sweetly) Veggie's my playmate!
Vegeta: (screams up at the ceiling) I AM NOT!!! (tries to get out of Son's grasp) (growls) Little children have playmates,
not grown saiyajins!!!!
Goku: (big knowing smile) Whatever you say, little Veggie.
Vegeta: (groans) Can't you take me seriously for just ONCE, Kakarrotto?
Goku: (happily) If I did then I wouldn't be me!
Chuquita: He's got a point there, Veggie.
Vegeta: (snorts) If he wanted to play with me so much he wouldn't have run off with Uubu (says name mockingly).
Goku: (still happy and hugging Veggie) VEGGIE-PLAYS-WITH-ME!!! :)
Vegeta: (dryly) Uh-huh. (to Chu) Personally I think it would've been a much better ending if it consisted of Kakarrotto and I
going out into deep space to sp--
Goku: --lay!
Vegeta: ...SPAR instead of Uubu even coming into existance.
Chuquita: (chuckles) Well, I didn't think Uubu was very interesting, but WHAT A BATTLE! I loved the mini-fight between him
and Son-kun!
Vegeta: (grumbles) Stupid fight! The creator of Kakarrotto and I and our entire little world could've thought up COUNTLESS
other endings; but instead he sends Kakarrotto far away on me because he HATES ME!
Goku: (hugs tighter) No I don't, Vedge'ums!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Not you, Kakarrot! Akira Toriyama, the guy who thought us up in the first place! He dislikes my
character so much that whenever Kakarrotto and I get on "warm, fuzzy terms with each other", he BLOWS ONE OF US UP!!
Chuquita: That's not true Veggie--
Vegeta: He let me get blasted through the heart by Freeza, he made Kakarrotto EXPLODE INTO TINY PIECES while sending Cell
away, he let _ME_ EXPLODE INTO TINY PIECES while fighting Buu, and then at the very end he makes KAKARROTTO GO AWAY!!
Chuquita: ...you DO have a point, but--
Vegeta: (to Chu) (narrows his eyes) Don't you think it's in the least bit suspicious whenever Kakarrotto or I get blown up
we're always near one another....EVEN MY OWN CREATOR DOESN'T WANT ME TO WIN MY KAKA-SERVANT-MAID!!!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Poor Veggie.
Goku: (sniffles) That's so sad, Veggie...HEY! I'm not Veggie's servant-maid!
Vegeta: (smirks) Oh you will be.
Goku: [plops Veggie down in his chair] (shakes finger at Veggie) No I won't be little Veggie's servant-maid (big grin) Cuz
I'm gonna be his ~*oujo*~!
Vegeta: You know what, Kakarrotto? I'm just going to ignore you this time. Yep. No speaking to Kaka-chan until he's off his
"oujo" kick.
Goku: Aww, Veggie you don't mean that (smiles warmly at Veggie) I'm gonna be Veggie's oujo and have my very own crown and a
big beautiful cape and Veggie'll introduce me to all the nice lil villagers on our planet and then we'll get to live in the
castle and have our own thrones and Veggie'll hug me for hours cuz he'd be so proud of me and I'd hug Veggie back and...
Vegeta: [plugging his ears with his fingers] (eyes squinted shut) LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALA...
Chuquita: I guess we should introduce part 4 then.
Goku: OOH OOH! I wanna do it! (snuggles Veggie) And I want my special lil playmate to do it with me!
Vegeta: (twitches) That sounds....so wrong....
Goku: [waves Veggie's arm in the air] Here is part 4 everybody!
Vegeta: (groans) Ohhhhhh.... (snaps) LET GO OF MY ARM!!! [yanks it away from Son]
Goku: (giggles)
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!
Chuquita: (smiles) Thanks to a couple of reviewers, we found out "Kakkoi/Kakoi/Kakkoui/Kakkouii" means "cool"! We also found
out it's the improper form of sugoi, which also means cool.
Goku: (grin) Thank you for your help!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
A nightmare, it was a horrible, terrible, tramatizing nightmare. But at least it was over. Vegeta sighed with relief,
now partially awake as he lay on his bed with his eyes closed. He had had some bad nightmares conserning Kakarrotto before
but this one had to be the mother of all Kaka-mares EVER. The ouji chalked this nightmare to merely the lack of information
his future self had given him about his fate within the coming century along with the fear he had experianced thanks to Goku
acting mushier than usual. But the nightmare was over, and that's all that mattered. He was in his bed, under the nice, warm
covers without any painful Kaka-images to bother him. That's when he heard it.
" Oh V-sama... " a high-pitched voice murmured in a dreamy slumber. Vegeta froze on the spot and slowly opened his
eyes only to discover future Goku laying beside him with his arms wrapped around the ouji and holding him tightly.
" Oh dear God... " Vegeta said quietly, his bottom left eyelid twitching; the ouji's brain, due to it had just woken
up, was completely out of ideas with how to deal with the situation he was in right now, ::Well, out of the frying pan and
into the fire, right?:: Vegeta throught sarcastically, ::I don't suppose I could possibly be dreaming this part too, huh?::
he then started to tap future Goku on the shoulder; having trouble doing so do to the fact that he was nearly smushed against
the larger saiyajin, " Kakarrotto? Kaka-chan wake up. " Vegeta said in a mock-sweet voice.
" Hmm? " future Goku slowly opened his eyes a crack and smiled lovingly at the little ouji, " Oh, morning V-sama my
angel... " he trailed off, letting out large yawns.
" Uh-heh-heh, your "angel", right. " Vegeta laughed nervously, ::Kaka-germs, crawling all over my skin...must,
temporarily, ignore:: " So, my sweet Kaka-muffin, would you mind letting go of "V-sama" and getting out of his bed so he can
de-contaminate his room? " he smiled.
" What flavor of muffin am I, V-sama? " future Goku smiled back widely. Vegeta twitched as he could feel Goku's
stomach growling for food underneath the covers.
" Umm, uhh, blueberry? " Vegeta spoke up.
" MMMmmmmm, I could sure go for a blueberry muffin, V-sama. A nice plump muffin on a pretty plate with special
condiments and everything. " future Goku sighed.
" Well, why don't you let go of "V-sama" first and he'll see what he can do. " Vegeta laughed nervously.
" ... "
" Kakarrotto? "
" .....ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz.... " future Goku fell
back into a deep sleep while still holding the ouji tightly, " Oh V-sama... " he mused in his dream.
Vegeta rolled his eyes, " I'm never going to get out of here. " he groaned, " What are you doing in my bed ANYWAY! "
he snapped at the still-snoring Goku, " You're supposed to be back home in your own! Isn't Onna watching you! " the ouji
complained as he tried to get out of the saiyajin's grasp, " Why is she always not watching you when I DO want you to be
watched! "
" Haha, " the larger saiyajin re-opened his eyes slightly, " Silly V-sama, Chi-chan's dead, she can't hurt us now.
Not anymore. "
" YOU _KILLED_ ONNA!!!? " Vegeta shrieked in fright and burst into ssj1, kicking Goku away from him and nearly off
the bed, " KAKARROTTO HAVE YOU GONE MAD WHAT WERE YOU THINKING WE STILL NEED ONNA HERE--- " the ouji paused then got a
bewildered look on his face when he sensed Chi-Chi's ki still alive and healthy back asleep in the Son home. He narrowed his
eyes at future Goku, who had sat up and was rubbing his kicked stomach in mild pain, " "V-sama", huh? "
" Mmmm... " future Goku sighed dreamily at the little ouji.
" You're not the same Kakarrotto who gave me the chunk of Bejito-sei yesterday, are you? " he motioned to the chunk
of land which the ouji had positioned in a corner of his large room with a label reading "HOME" in saiyago on the wall above
it.
" Uhh, what do you mean? " future Goku chuckled nervously.
" There's something wrong with you, Kakarrotto. At first I was sure you were sick, or perhaps tramatized by whatever
your "future self" told or showed you up in the spaceship; but you've been acting very 'off' since you came back from being
up there. The way you've been treating me, and Onna, and everyone else-- "
" --I realized that I missed you all so much and that all of you are very special to me because future me doesn't
have everybody still around. "
" --the way you kept calling me "V-sama" in your sleep. And you said Onna was dead when she's clearly alive and
kicking. " Vegeta scooched closer suspicously.
Future Goku gulped, " Oh V-s---Veggie, Veggie I was dreaming, that's all. It was all just a dream. I wasn't thinking
clearly. " he laughed nervously.
" Alright, Kaka-chan, I suppose I can understand all that. " Vegeta smiled warmly, " Kakarrotto, na pude lama se
karuka? "
" Hee~~, saa me soma kuli pashwa! " future Goku giggled, blushing.
" HA! " Vegeta pointed at him victoriously, " I KNEW IT! YOU'RE NOT MY TIME'S KAKARROTTO AT ALL! BECAUSE HE DOESN'T
SPEAK SAIYAGO!!! "
Future Goku slapped his hands over his mouth and paled.
" You gave yourself away the moment you started blabbering to me when I woke up. You weren't awake enough to really
think either! You were speaking in english alright, but your Saiyago accent was way too strong for even the present
Kakarrotto to pull off! Isn't that right, FUTURE KAKARROTTO! " Vegeta grabbed him by the tail and held on tightly, sending
rivets of pain up future Goku's spine.
" Oww....you can't, prove I'm the future Kakarrotto. And if I was then why would I do something bad like switch the
other Kakarrotto and I in order to stay here in his place! " he exclaimed.
" Because you finally saw your family and friends again and missed them, baka! " Vegeta grumbled, then began to
search for any physical evidence to prove his theory, " You're obviously a little smarter than present Kakarrotto because
you've been hanging out with ME for the past 60 or so years. " Vegeta boasted, then noticed something, " Ah-HA! "
Future Goku froze, " What are you doing? " he whispered.
" FUTURE Kakarrotto, tell me, when did you switch over from boxers to such fancy-looking briefs. " Vegeta smirked,
pulling up slightly on the side of the underpants so they were visible above Goku's pajama bottoms.
" ... " the larger saiyajin twitched and said nothing.
" Let me guess, while it would've been easier for you to just wear some of present Kakarrotto's boxers you didn't
want to chance letting Onna see these in her laundry basket and blow your whole cover on you so you continued to wear them
even AFTER you took a bath and prepared for bed. Correct? " the ouji said, his ego swelling at his awesome deductive powers.
" Hai, V-sama. " future Goku bowed his head with embarassment.
" That was a horrible thing to do, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta folded his arms, " It was a sneaky, envious, self-serving
plan. " he nodded, " I'M PROUD OF YOU! " Vegeta grinned, patting a confused Goku on the shoulder, " Wow, Kakay plotting evil
plots just like me. How wonderful... "
" Heeheehee. " future Goku giggled, his cheeks flushing pink, " I luv you, V-sama. "
" You do know I'm going to have to switch you back though. " the ouji said, still grinning.
" OHHHHhhh.. " future Goku pouted.
" But first, I'd like to check for something on your body, would you allow me to scan your neck and chest for any odd
markings that I could aid in avoiding the present Kakarrotto ending up with in the future. " he asked.
" V-SAMA! " future Goku gasped, " I can't believe you don't trust me! " he clutched the front of his pj's.
" DON'T TRUST YOU! YOU JUST PULLED A FAST ONE ON EVERYBODY ON THE WHOLE FREAKIN PLANET! HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO
"TRUST" YOU!!! " Vegeta screamed, " Just let me check so I can put my fears to rest or have them escalate to a point where I
would probably need to receive mental rehab for a few weeks. " he explained.
" What do you wanna check for! I'll tell you if it's there or not! " future Goku said protectively.
" Future Kakarrotto, I have had nightmare after nightmare about MY future and present Kakarrotto's last night. I am
surprised I haven't crapped myself silly over it yet! So will you PLEASE remove your top so I can check to make sure that you
don't have an indent of my future self's TEETH somewhere on your body. " Vegeta huffed.
" No... " future Goku whined.
" Oh come on! Will it change the time and space continuem THAT MUCH for me to know whether or not such a, a THING
occured!!! "
" Yes. " future Goku squeaked out.
" Fine then, what would happen. " Vegeta said calmly.
" The entire universe would be sucked in on itself in a firey ball of flame. " future Goku grinned cheesily.
" You're lying. "
" Yes. "
" THEN WHY WON'T YOU LET ME SEE!!! " the ouji roared.
" I'm, going to get us some breakfast. " future Goku said nervously, getting out of bed and waddling out of Vegeta's
room.
" OH NO YOU DON'T, _FUTURE_ KAKARROTTO! I WILL NOT BE HAUNTED BY SUCH NIGHTMARISH IMAGES FOR THE REST OF MY DAYS!
YOU'RE NOT LEAVING THIS TIME PERIOD, LET ALONE THIS HOUSE UNTIL YOU LET ME KNOW WHETHER MY FUTURE SELF, /marked/ YOU OR NOT."
he said with deep disgust; then bounded downstairs after him only to find future Goku now sitting at the kitchen table with
the rest of the ouji's family, all laughing and chatting as if the last 10 minutes of Vegeta's life had never occured. The
ouji blinked at the scene, his shoulders slumping, " Maybe I should have my canine teeth sanded down just in case. " he
murmured, contimplating the topic.
" Vegeta! There you are! Why don't you come down and join us for breakfast! " Bulma's mother said cheerfully, " Goku
here was just telling us this funny little story about how he left his gi sash here yesterday and came over this morning to
get it. "
Future Goku pleasantly held up the sash. Vegeta's eyes bugged out of his head, ::Where did he find THAT one!! And he
did NOT leave the one from yesterday here! He's lying again because he doesn't want to get in trouble--like me::
" Come on Veggie! You can sit next to me in the ~**special**~ chair! Reserved just for the most ~**special**~ lil
Veggies in the whole wide world! " future Goku chirped, having dropped his saiyajin accent again and sounding more like his
present counterpart.
" Fine. " Vegeta said flatly and marched over to the spot, then sat down next to Goku and glared up at him
suspicously, " Are you afraid to tell me because it IS there, or because it ISN'T there. Which one is it, Kakarrot? "
" What are you talking about, Vegeta? " Bulma cocked an eyebrow.
" Hahaha, oh silly little Veggie! He's always saying things that make so sense at all. " future Goku said, giving
the ouji a brief, yet tight hug.
" Yeah, oh-kay. " Bulma took the explaination and went back to eating her scrambled eggs.
" Would Veggie care for some maple-syrup-covered sausage links? " future Goku said sweetly, holding the nearby plate
up, " We all know how a big a fan of meat Veggie is! "
" Yes Kakarrotto. Of course. " the ouji replied, taking a few, " Say MIRAI-- " he shot a look at future Goku, " Could
you pass the milk, it appears Kakarrotto here DOESN'T HAVE ANY. "
Mirai Trunks looked at him oddly, " Something's going on that the rest of us don't know about, huh Toussan? " he gave
Vegeta the carton of milk. The ouji placed it by future Goku.
" Why yes, something is wrong, Mirai. " Vegeta smirked, then patted future Goku on the arm, " You see, Kakay here
hasn't been feeling well lately and we both thought it would be helpful to his FUTURE health if Bulma were to give him a
checkup--seeing as how he's afraid of hospitals and all. "
" Chi-Chi did call here last night and said something about Goku having insomnia. " Bulma said, concerned, " Did you
have much trouble sleeping Son-kun? "
" Umm, at little, at first... " future Goku laughed it off.
" ..that is until you broke into my bedroom and snuck into my bed with me while I was still sleep and unable to kick
your large kaka-tush out of my house. " Vegeta muttered under his breath.
" Did you say something, Vegeta? " Bunni asked.
" Oh, nothing. " Vegeta shrugged it off, " Nothing at all. " he shot another glance in future Goku's direction.
" I can give you a quick checkup after breakfast if you want, Son-kun. " Bulma offered.
" Yes, infact, I'll come down and aid you in giving Kakarrotto his checkup, seeing as I'm in such a good mood today."
Vegeta boasted.
Future Goku shifted and tugged tightly on his pajama top, " Umm, Bulma? "
" Well, I'm done! " Vegeta said cheerfully, getting up from the table.
" But you barely ATE! " she exclaimed, " You always eat like nearly 8 courses of breakfast!! " Bulma gawked.
" Kakarrotto? " Vegeta smirked at the larger saiyajin.
" I'D-LIKE-A-SECOND-HELPING-PLEASE!!! " future Goku said quickly, holding up his plate to Bunni, who gladly plopped
more waffles onto his plate. Vegeta cursed at Goku under his breath and sat back down in his chair with a grumpy look on his
face.
" In that case I'll have more too. " the ouji nodded, then promptly began to stuff his face again.
" I thought you said you were done. " Bulma said flatly.
" There's always room for more food. " Vegeta scoffed.
" Here here!!! " the larger saiyajin grinned, pumping his fist in the air.
Vegeta continued to eat, then paused as an idea hit him, " Hmm.. " an evil smile covered his face as he took the
nearby bottle of ketchup and pretened to have trouble opening it. The ouji loosened the cap and shook it left to right,
causing giant globs of ketchup to splatter all over Goku's pajamas, " Oops! " the ouji gasped in a mock-tone, " It looks like
I have accidentally gotten Kakay's shirt covered in ketchup blobs which will ultimately stain his be-loved pajamas unless he
takes the top off and goes to put it in the washing machine right now! "
Everyone looked at Vegeta skeptically.
" Vegeta, what the heck are you doing! " Bulma exclaimed.
" Yeah Toussan, it's pretty obvious you're up to something. " Mirai Trunks agreed.
" I'M not up to something! It's all Kakarrotto! " he pointed at future Goku, " Here Kaka-chan, I'll TAKE the shirt
to the laundry room FOR you. " he held out his hands.
" Alright Veggie. " future Goku smiled pleasantly. Vegeta stared in shock.
" Re--really? "
" Hmm! " he nodded and took off the pajama top to reveal..the short-sleaved undershirt he was wearing beneath it.
Vegeta fell over, " KUSO!!! " he snapped, getting back up, then snatched the pajama top away from future Goku, " My
future self has taught you well. " he said in a quieter, annoyed and impressed tone of voice, then stomped out of the room.
" Thank you for being so thoughtful, little Veggie! " future Goku called out sweetly. Vegeta cursed back at him in
saiyago as he stomped down the hall. Goku turned back to the bewildered group at the table, " Isn't he the sweetest thing! "
/dl
" ZZzz..ZZZzzzz...ZZZzzz..*sniff*sniff*...bacon? " present Goku lazily opened his eyes, then snapped to attention as
the past night's events flew back into his memory, " FUTURE VEGGIE! SSJ3! SPARRING DAY TODAY!! " he squealed with excitement,
then froze in nervousness as he realized future Vegeta was no longer in bed, " AHH!! Veggie! Veggie where are you you
promised you'd spar against me in your ssj3 form today and we'd have lots of fun and I'd get a real challenge for once and
we might even have a tie this time and-- "
" --MORNIN, Kaka-muffin! " future Vegeta said happily as he walked into the room carrying an extra-large tray covered
in breakfast goodies, " You seemed really sleepy so I let you sleep in and made breakfast without you this morning, hope you
didn't mind. " he walked over to Goku and pressed a button on the floor, causing a table to pop up that surrouned the edge of
the bed like a border. Future Vegeta sat the tray down, " How are you feeling this morning, Kakay? "
Goku grinned madly at the food, ::It's nice to know my taste in food hasn't changed over 105 years!:: " I am feeling
really great, little Veggie! " he chirped.
" That's nice. " the ouji leaned against Goku's shoulder, making the larger saiyajin's cheeks heat up to a pinkish
color, " You're so nice, Kakay. "
" Uhhh...................... " not really knowing how to react, Goku's brain just blanked out instead.
" I could help feed you you know. "
" Umm, no, no thank you little Veggie. I'm a good eater, I can eat without any Veggie-aid. " Goku smiled weakly at
him. Future Vegeta stared up at him w/big gooey eyes, making Goku's entire face turn bright pink.
" Oh-kay then Kakay. " he slid away from the Goku's shoulder, much to the large saiyajin's relief. Vegeta hopped off
the bed, " In that case I think I'll got get changed instead. We can't spar with each other while we're in our pajamas now,
can we? " he grinned, then ran off to the opposite side of his room.
" Future Veggie's sweet, but kinda creepy. " Goku concluded, then proceeded to woof down every bit of food infront of
him. Entire cities of eggs and bacon fell to their knees at the saiyajin's immense appitite. Waffles disappearing without a
crumb and syrup, milk, and orange juice flew all over the place like the remnents of a pint-sized yet devastating war.
" *WHEW*! " Goku layed on his back w/his filled gut up in the air, " I could eat future Veggie's cooking for
breakfast EVERYDAY! " he mused happily.
" I'm glad you liked it! "
Goku sat up, which was now a slightly difficult task due to the mass amounts of food that were now resting in his
stomach. The saiyajin did a double-take at what he saw. There was future Vegeta standing there wearing a blue and white
version of his orange and blue gi, " Veggie in a gi....... " the large saiyajin felt something in his mind short-circit.
" You better hurry up and get changed as well, Kaka-chan. Seeing as you're still in bed I'll get your gi for you if
you want. " future Vegeta smiled.
" Veggie in a gi..... " Goku said with a big grin on his face, his eyes wide and glazed over.
" ...umm, alright then. " future Vegeta cocked his head, then turned around and started to leave only to have
something glomp him from behind.
" Heeheehee, Veggie in a gi....... " Goku grinned, hugging onto the ouji tightly with his head on future Vegeta's
shoulder, " Present Veggie never spars with me in a giiiiiiiiii.......IT-LOOKS-SO-CUTE!! "
" Hai, I know... " future Vegeta snickered, " We always wear gi's, you know that. You said yourself how adorable I
look in one. "
" OH-VEGGIE-IS-ADORABLE-YES-YES-YES!!! " the present saiyajin squealed, " Veggie's my warm lil marshmellow fluff
floating around in the clouds during a light snow-storm and being covered in happiness and joy! " Goku rambled on, squeezing
future Vegeta tightly.
" Why thank you Kakay, what a sweet thing of you to say. " Vegeta smirked, " Your "warm lil marshmellow fluff", eh? "
" Veggie smells like marshmellows and strawberries! " Goku chirped, " At least, *sniff*sniff* past Veggie did. "
" Come Kakarrotto. " future Vegeta slipped out of the grip, " Let's go pick out what gi you'll wear to our bout. "
" WHAT gi? You mean I have more than one! " Goku grinned.
Future Vegeta nodded, " Hai, you silly Oujo. You have many beautiful gi's to choose from...of course they're not
nearly as beautiful as you. " he looked up with his face bright red to see Goku had now left and was happily chanting "Spar
time with Veggie" as he dashed out of the room. Future Vegeta sweatdropped, " There's something, not quite right here... "
/dl
" Stupid bakayaro! Tricks me! HOW DARE HE TRICK ME! I am his Ouji; his RULER; his-- "
" --need any help with that? "
Vegeta paused from stuffing Goku's pajama top into the washing machine to glance over at future Goku, who was
standing on one side of the washing machine with a small smile on his face, " Whadda you want NOW? "
" I, want to help you V-sama. You look like you're having trouble and I felt really bad about getting you in this
mess. I don't want you to be mad, but BOY is your personality enticing! " a lopsided grin covered the future saiyajin's face.
" You're kidding, right? " Vegeta said flatly.
" No, I like it. I really like it. It's one of the things I missed about you most of all. The way you get all rile up
like this. And how kawaii you look when you're confused. And how whenever you get mad, your cute little nose squnches all up
like this. " future Goku said impishly, then imitated the ouji's nose.
" Dear God I'm going to puke. " Vegeta groaned, " And I thought your present self could talk mushy! SHEESH! I'm not a
gumdrop, I'm not a snowflake, AND I'M NOT A MARSHMELLOW!!! " he screamed angrily at the non-existant present Goku, " If I was
as tall as Kakarrotto he'd give me more respect and so would you! " he pointed at future Goku.
" *sniff*sniff* What does that have to do with you smelling like marshmellows? " future Goku cocked his head,
sniffing the general area around the ouji.
" AAUGH!!! " Vegeta screamed, then handed turned the washing machine on and stomped out of the room, " I SWEAR! My
time's Kakarrotto isn't even here and yet I can still sense random bits of his crazed kaka-brain across time and space
through that baka portara fusion!! " he stood and huffed, then folded his arms, " KUSO EAR!!! " Vegeta tugged on his right
earlobe hard, then smirked pleasantly as he could hear the sound of the larger saiyajin screaming wildly in pain in the very
back depths of his mind, " Heh-heh-heh. " Vegeta paused, " Well, that was mildly amusing, but I can't go on like this. I HAVE
to something in order to get the Kakarrotto's switched back again--but not before I find out whether future Kakarrotto's
"oujo" claim is legal or not. " he nodded, " I have to remain calm, cool, in control. "
Bulma walked by him, " Hi Vegeta. "
" KAKARROTTO'S-FUTURE-SELF-SWITCHED-PLACES-WITH-HIM-AND-I-HAVE-TO-KNOW-IF-FUTURE-KAKARROTTO-IS-A-REAL-OUJO-OR-NOT-AND
-WHO-KNOWS-WHAT-THE-HECK-MY-FUTURE-SELF-IS-DOING-TO-PRESENT-KAKARROTTO-AND-IF-I-DON'T-FIND-OUT-SOON-I'M-GOING-TO-LOOSE-MY-
-EVER-LOVIN-MIND!!!! " the ouji nearly exploded.
Bulma's eyes bulged out of her head, " Well....that must've been held up in there for a while. "
Vegeta let out a huge sigh, " Yes, it's been a very trying day. "
" How's, uh, Goku? "
" Which one? The one who WANTS to be my oujo or the one who THINKS he is and might possibly BE. " Vegeta said with
utmost sarcasm in his voice.
" ...what? "
" THE KAKARROTTO THAT'S HERE IS THE ONE FROM THE FUTURE!! He switched places with OUR Kakarrotto when he took him out
to the ship! " Vegeta exclaimed.
" You're kidding?! " Bulma gawked.
" I knew there was something wrong with Son-kun. " Mirai poked his head in the room.
" So he's NOT Goten's Toussan? " chibi Trunks said, entering the room also.
" NO! " Vegeta snapped.
" *whew*! Haha, that's a relief. I thought it was some passed down mental disorder that Goten was gonna get. " chibi
Trunks grinned, " I don't know where I'd find another sidekick! "
" Are you sure this is the future Goku from yesterday and not just regular Goku suffering from some type of shock? "
Bulma said suspicously, " I mean, it's not like Son to plot such things. He can barely plot a map, not to even mention
plotting an "evil scheme". Besides, that's your forté. "
" Yes. Well it appears that my sneaky evil mannerisms seem to rub off on those around me when living with them for
extended periods of time. " Vegeta snickered.
" Does that mean it's oh-kay for me and Goten to build a fort made out of green jello and position it in the backyard
so we can lob water balloons at passersby from inside it? " Trunks said happily.
" Yeah sure, lob away. " the ouji shooed him off while smirking.
" VEGETA!! " Bulma snapped.
" What? " the smaller saiyajin looked at her cluelessly.
" When did Goten get here anyway? " Mirai asked.
" I have no idea. " Bulma groaned.
" It's a genetic kaka-disorder. Anyone with kaka-genes can automatically appear out of nowhere to scare the crap out
of you. " Vegeta concluded, nodding thoughtfully.
" YOU HAVE NO POSITION TO TALK! " Bulma snapped at him, " Now what's this about Goku and future Goku swapping? "
Vegeta walked over to the couch and sat down, for fear that he'd either throw up or pass out from re-telling it a
third time, " When my future self came here along with Kakarrotto's future self yesterday, future Kakarrotto was ecstatic to
be reunited with the rest of you bakas whom he watched many many decades ago die from old age in horrible deaths. He missed
all of us so much; including my present self whom he apparently finds "enticing", " the ouji twitched, " ; that he decided to
bring present Kakarrotto onboard and switch their clothes, then leave him in the ship while future Kakarrotto came back here
so he could be with all of us. "
" So he had good intentions, but even so was blinded by missing us so much that he didn't realize he was doing
something wrong. " Bulma frowned in pity.
" Well, for the most part. I still don't know if present Kakarrotto went along with him or somehow became the victim;
his older self could easily have knocked him unconsious or trapped him somewhere in the ship. " Vegeta continued, " I first
knew something was wrong when Kakarrotto began to act substantionally mushier towards me than usual. "
" Is it just me or does he only use the really big words of his vocabulary when he's in "detective" mode. " Mirai
muttered to Bulma, who nodded.
" It's good for his brused ego, let him go. " she sighed while Vegeta continued to rabble on.
" --and I mean, how would YOU feel if you woke up in your bed to find your fairly large peasant laying next to you
and holding onto you for dear life while giggling about you in his sleep!? It's a DISTURBING SIGHT, Bulma!! "
" Hmm? " she looked back over at Vegeta, who then narrowed his eyes at her.
" You weren't listening to a word I said just now, where you? " he said, annoyed.
" OH, no of course we were listening, weren't we Mirai! " Bulma laughed nervously, then elbowed her son from the
future of the alternate timeline.
" Hahaha, yeah. Something about you sleeping with Goku-san? "
" I WASN'T SLEEPING WITH KAKARROT!!!! " Vegeta screamed angrily with his face flushed red, " I WENT TO SLEEP BY
MYSELF AND HE SNUCK INTO MY ROOM AND GOT IN BED WITH ME WHILE I WAS STILL ASLEEP!!! "
" Why? " Mirai asked.
Vegeta covered his face with his hand, " I don't know, Mirai. Future Kakarrotto's even harder to figure out than the
present one! " he said tiredly, " Personally I fear whatever is happening to present Kakarrotto at the moment is an even more
pressing issue to me now than the future one's presence here. He's been with my future "kaka-lovin" self for almost a DAY
now!! " the ouji's face paled with panic, " Who KNOWS what he's shown or done with Kakarrotto! Kaka-chan could be just as bad
with the mush on me as his future self is now!!! " Vegeta wailed with fright, " I DON'T WANT KAKARROTTO TO END UP AS MY OUJO!
!!! "
" Well, maybe there's another way. " Bulma spoke up.
" DON'T YOU GET IT! THERE _IS_ NO "OTHER WAY"!!! " the ouji bawled, slamming his fists against the wall and turning
to face it, " Kakarrotto won't be happy until he's wearing a crown just as big as mine with one of those big long flowing
capes and that baka oujo gown!!! "
" Vegeta, I don't think Goku wants to be your "oujo" for romantic reasons, he just wants to feel equal to you. "
Bulma smiled.
Vegeta glared at her, " Say what? "
" Goku---you've been treating him like a peasant since you first met him! "
" That's because he IS a peasant. Kakarrotto's a third-class ranking warrior. Before they worked at the castle
Bardock and Celipa were for the most part, poor. " Vegeta groaned, " And why would Kakarrotto feel he isn't equal to me! He's
STRONGER than me--for the moment--anyway. "
" But the point I'm making doesn't have to do with how strong he is! If you were to promote him up to 2nd or 1st
class maybe Goku wouldn't be so dead-on wanting to be your oujo. "
" You want me to PROMOTE Kakarrotto's rank? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow.
" Yes! You could do that, couldn't you Vegeta? " Bulma said, " After all, you are the ouji. "
" Mom's got a good point, Toussan. " Mirai said, impressed with Bulma's idea.
" Wait, so you're saying this whole "Kakarroujo" thing has to with Kakarrotto's EGO!? " Vegeta gawked, " HE _HAS_ NO
EGO!!! HE'S KAKARROTTO-- "
" --and he's got feelings too, Vegeta. " Bulma folded her arms, " I mean, he really likes you.. "
" ..yes, that's apparent. " Vegeta said flatly as he gazed off in the direction he had left future Goku.
" ..although I'm not quite sure WHY he likes you, he does. "
Vegeta sweatdropped.
" I'm pretty sure that if you were to push Goku's "rank" up to first-class the majority of the "oujo" stuff would
stop because he'd feel more like you truely respect and care for him. " Bulma concluded.
" I _DO_ "RESPECT AND CARE FOR" THE BIG BAKA! THERE WAS A WHOLE STINKIN EPISODE DEDICATED TO IT!!! " Vegeta shouted,
then folded his arms in a stubborn fashion and looked away.
" Toussan, would it really be that bad for you to make Goku-san a first-class? I mean, he'd still be a peasant, just
a FIRST-CLASS peasant this time. You rule over everybody who isn't part of the royal family so you'd still have your control,
whatever that is. " Mirai added.
Vegeta glanced over at them, " And you're sure this'll get him off that "oujo" kick for good? "
" Vegeta, I'm Goku's oldest friend, I know him by now. " Bulma re-assured him.
Vegeta grunted, " Fine. I shall promote Kakarrotto from third to first once we bring him safely back to the time
period. "
" HOORAY! " they cheered.
" I knew you could do it, "Veggie". " Bulma teased the ouji and grabbed onto his cheek. A vein bulged on Vegeta's
forehead, " Now let's go give future Goku that "checkup" and find out whatever it is you want to see. " she said, leaving the
room, then stuck her head back in it again, " What IS IT that you want to check for, anyway? " Bulma cocked her head.
" My future self's teeth-marks. " Vegeta said flatly.
" ... " Bulma stared back at him, confused, " ...oh. Well, let's go! "
/dl
" OOF!!! " present Goku let out a noise as he hit the floor of the gravity room in the spaceship; which was indeed
obscenely larger then normal like the rest of the item's in the ship. The saiyajin had personally never been in training this
intense before. The gravity was at a good 1400, more than twice the maximum present Vegeta trained in. The future version of
the ouji himself was strong enough to take down 3 or 4 gokus at once.
" BWAHAHA! Come on Kakarrotto, are you going to stay down there all day or are you coming back up here to fight me! "
the ssj3 ouji laughed as he floated through the air with unbelievable ease. Goku, also in ssj3, sat up panting.
" It's not like I'm not trying to! " he grunted in pain, then slowly got back on his feet and prepared to fire a ki
blast at the ouji, " KA.........MEH...........HA..... "
" Hahaha, silly Kakay-chan, you know I can anticipate your every move. " future Vegeta brushed it off.
" ....MEH......HAAAAAAAAAA!!!! " the larger saiyajin let loose the blast and the smaller one easily dodged it. Goku
growled and turned his blast around, following the ouji around in a circle hovering overhead him. Vegeta suddenly took a
nose-dive and flew right past Goku, nearly skimming him. Goku yelped as his own blast came near him and he lept to the ground
, which, due to the high gravity, got him down intime to miss being hit. The blast hurtled into the door and exploded in upon
the two saiyajins. Smoke enveloped the room and when it cleared the duo were both now flat on the floor, covered in soot.
" *Damage to door, gravitational settings manual over-ride. Preparing to shutdown*. " a computerized voice similar to
the female one on present Vegeta's gravity machine announced in a slightly robotic tone. The room's red lights faded back to
white and the machine shutdown.
" *WHEW*! Kakarrotto are you feeling alright today?! You were completely off! " future Vegeta said, sitting up and
worried.
Goku lay on his back, his bottom left eyelid twitching and a big smile appearing on his face, " ... "
" Kaka-muffin? " the little ouji said with even more concern in his voice as he walked over to Goku.
" Veggie......? " Goku squeaked out.
" Hai Kakay? "
" ....that...had to be......THE MOST AMAZING SPARRING MATCH EVER!!! " Goku squealed wildly with excitement as he
jumped to his feet, " OH MAN! VEGGIE AND THE SSJ3 AND THEN THE *WHOOSH* AND THEN THE *BANG* AND THE *PUNCH* AND THE *KICK*
AND THE *ZAAAAP* AND THE *OH-NO!* AND IT WAS THE MOST FUN I'VE EVER SPARRED WITH LITTLE VEGGIES BEFORE!!! " he exclaimed,
trying to collect all his thoughts.
Vegeta stared at him incrediously, " But, you LOST-- "
" --and that's GREAT! " Goku grabbed the smaller saiyajin's hands, still grinning like a madman, " Who knew we could
get so powerful! I've never seen anything like what you did just now! Not even back with Majin Buu! OH VEGGIE! " he squeezed
a very confused Vegeta tightly, " Do you have any idea how much this gives me to aspire to! One day I'm going to get strong
enough to give you a fair fight, future Veggie! And when I do I want you to give me your all just like you did today! "
" .... " future Vegeta stared up at him blankly, " What, are, you, talking about? "
" OH! " Goku suddenly gasped when he realized he just nearly blew his cover, " Oh, nothing little Veggie. Nothing at
all, " he let go of Vegeta's hands, " I'm feeling perfectly fine, my brain's just a little dizzy from all that gravity this
early in the morning. "
Future Vegeta chuckled warmly, " Well you should've eaten slower then, you know what the gravity does to your stomach
, Kakay. " Goku smiled back at him, " Say Kakarrotto, how about we just take it down a notch, 'hmm? "
" Yeah little Veggie that sounds great! " Goku chirped.
" Alright. " Vegeta nodded, then went back to normal only to let out a yell and power up again. Goku's eyes widened
in fright and confusion as a blast of ki covered the smaller saiyajin, then wisped away above him, " Well, Kakay? " he
smirked.
" WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!!! " Goku shouted. Future Vegeta fell over.
" Something IS wrong with your brain today, isn't it, Kakarrotto? " the ouji's tail twitched. Goku stared at the
little saiyajin who had suddenly become much fuzzier than usual. Goku grabbed Vegeta's arm and started petting the fur.
" Heehee, Veggie feels like a little puppy! Or a kitty! " the larger saiyajin said with glee. Future Vegeta was
tempted to pull his arm away, but allowed Goku to continue petting him.
" THIS, Kakarrotto, is a compact oozaru form, created by controlling all powers within full oozaru form and holding
them together tightly enough to retain your normal size yet with all the power of your body as a normal oozaru. " Vegeta
explained proudly.
" Furry Veggies.... " Goku giggled musingly, now petting the smaller saiyajin's back, " Is this a form you cuddle
Veggies in cuz you look like a lil plush toy you'd win at the boardwalk! " Goku said, very entertained.
" It's not for "cuddling", Kakarrotto! It's used only by the saiyajins with the most mental control over themselves
and their actions in oozaru form incase they only need the power, not the size of an oozaru. I suppose you could call this
a super saiyajin 4, but it's not related in any way to the other three. Any saiyajin with enough patience can perform it, you
don't even have to be a super saiyajin 1 like you or I to do it. We use it to spar whenever we don't want to end up
completely exhausted by the end of the session. " future Vegeta explained, " Actually I guess you could even count this as
the 5 alternate saiyajin form if you count normal oozaru, but I like to stick with ssj4 and/or "compact oozaru". Not as
strong as ssj3, but strong within the amount of odd techniques one can perform while in it. "
" Furry Veggies.... " Goku continued, giggling again, " Warm furry Veggies.....where did your clothes go and how did
the uncomfortable black pants and lil Veggie-shoes appear on you? "
" For the life of me, Kakarrotto, I have no idea. But it's better than fighting in the nude like this. " Vegeta
nodded.
" But normal oozarus don't have black pants. " Goku pondered, confused, " ...are Veggie's legs all covered in furry
red Veggie-fur too? " Goku bent down on the ground and pulled up part of future Vegeta's pantleg, " WOW! I was right! You
look like some little furry animal plushie! THAT'S SO KAWAII!!! " he hugged the ouji tightly, " I can't lookit you without
wanting to go buy you a bunch of cute lil pet toys!!! And, and maybe some of those soft fuzzy sweaters I've seen really
little dogs being walked in! "
" We're in deep space, Kakarrot, there's no "pet-toy-stores here... " future Vegeta squeaked out under the
stranglehold, " ...and what about our fight! " he protested, " Are you going to transform too or not! "
" Huh? " Goku paused from grinning psychotically and petting Vegeta.
" Will you put me down and go compact oozaru so we can get on with the match! " Vegeta twitched. Goku froze, then set
Vegeta down.
" T--transform? " the larger saiyajin paled.
" Yes, you want to be on the same level when we continue sparring don't you? " future Vegeta folded his arms.
" ... ::Oh no! When future Veggie finds out I have no idea how to turn into a fuzzy, pet-like version of myself he'll
know for sure about the switch and just hate me for it! I don't want him to hate me! He's so sweet and giving and kind to me
in ways present Veggie has yet to develop or even learn about! I can't break his little future heart, and look how fuzzy he
is!!!:: " Goku wailed inside his brain as he stared down at the furry ouji, ::He just makes me wanna get him his own little
collar with his name on it and each him how to play fetch and feed him Veggie-biscuits as rewards!!:: the larger saiyajin
stared at the smaller one sympathetically, " Umm, Veggie, I, I can't. "
" What? " future Vegeta said suspiciously.
" I can't because, uhhh, my gi's itchy! " Goku grinned cheesily, scratching a fake itch on his shoulder. He looked
down at the navy blue colored gi he was wearing with a large symbol of the royal house of Bejito-sei on the back of the gi
shirt.
Future Vegeta frowned and powered back down to normal, causing his body's fuzzyness to disappear and be replaced
magically by his normal gi again, " My poor Kaka-chan, there's obviously something wrong with you. " he sniffled, hugging
onto Goku's waist, " You're not coming down with something are you? " the ouji put his hand on Goku's forehead, " Oh Kakay
you're in no condition to spar like this, I'll--I'll take you somewhere comfortable...your room. We'll go back to your room
and I'll help you change out of your gi and into something even more comfortable, I can even take you to the garden if you'd
like! " he pleaded, then smirked, " Hai, just you and me in our lush, beautiful little garden, you'll be feeling better in no
time, my Kaka-angel. "
" ...uhhhh... " Goku felt his eyelid twitch as he pulled back his arms and silently pushed the ouji away from him
with all his might, sending future Vegeta crashing into the gravity room wall, " I'll-be-going-now. " Goku said quickly as
he walked over to the door with his face a bright pink and pressed the open button on the door, causing it to slide up. The
large saiyajin then walked out of the room, only to poke his head inside again, " F--f--future Veh-veh-geeeee? " he stammered
, nerve-shot.
" Hai, Kaka-muffin? " the ouji said smoothly.
" Which direction is my room in? " Goku squeaked out.
Future Vegeta walked towards Goku, " Oh I can lead the way there for you, Kakay, no need to worry your beautiful
head over i--- "
" --oh look, I think I see it that way. " Goku said in a wooden tone of voice, " BYE-VEGGIE! " he exclaimed, then
zipped off.
The ouji smirked, then pleasantly left the room as well, " Heh-heh-heh.... "
/dl
" *SPLAT*!! "
" Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh.... " chibi Trunks chuckled evilly as he and Goten peered over the side of their green
jello fort at a now-soaked heavyset woman who was walking down the street.
" YOU JUVENILE DELINQUENTS!! " she shook her fist at them and stopped off.
" Hahaha fat people look funny when they're wet, Trunks! " Goten grinned.
" That's gotta be the 24th person we've nailed today. " Trunks said, proud of himself, " Hey Goten, how many water
balloons do we have left? " he called over to Goten, who hopped down from the jello steps and ran across to the other side of
the fort.
" Uhh, I dunno Trunks. Only 5 or 6. " Goten frowned.
" Aw crap! And I was just getting into this and now we need to go make some more balloons again! " Trunks threw his
arms in the air, " Oh well. Say Goten, why don't we just lob the rest at the next unsuspecting pedestrian? That way we'll
round it off at 25 for the next round. "
" Hmm? Oh-kay! " Goten chirped, then picked up all the remaining waterballoons at once and waddled over to his friend
, " I dunno, can we through this many at once? "
" Yeah, you take 3 and I'll take 3. " Trunks said, grabbing some of the balloons in Goten's hands.
" HEY! You took the bigger ones! " the smaller chibi complained.
" Heh, well if you wanted these then you SHOULD'VE chosen them before you got over here. " Trunks smirked. Goten
glared stubbornly at him.
" You're so unfair, Trunks! " he complained.
" If it wasn't for me we wouldn't have the fort or the waterballoons in the first place, so be quiet. " Trunks
grumbled, " LOOK! Someone's coming! AIM! " both boys held their water baloons back, " FIRE!!!! " Trunks shouted. Six water
balloons were suddenly heaved over the fort, all aimed at the same spot on the sidewalk. Both boys ducked, snickering as they
heard the sound of something screaming in surprise from being drenched in water.
" Heeheehee, that was fun! " Goten grinned widely.
" What're you talking about, it's ALWAYS fun. " Trunks added, also grinning. Both peeked slightly over the fort to
get a view of their victim and nearly choked at the sight of who it was.
" GOTEN!!! "
" AHH! It's my Mom!! " all the blood ran out of Goten's face as he ducked back under.
" Ooh, you're gonna be in trouble! " Trunks smirked, laughing at him.
" THIS WAS YOUR IDEA TO THROW WATER BALLOONS AT PEOPLE, TRUNKS!! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!! Now she's gonna be mad at me
and she's scary when she's mad!!! " Goten panicked, tears welling up in his eyes.
" No scarier than my dad, that's for sure. " Trunks rolled his eyes, then whinced to see Chi-Chi angrily looming over
them.
" TRUUUUUUUUUUNKS!!!!! " she roared.
" Yes-ma'am! " he squeaked out.
" WHERE IS MY GOKU!!! "
" Which one? " Trunks asked, petrified.
" Whadda you MEAN, which one! THE ONE I LIVE WITH, YOU CHIBI HALF-OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi screamed, enraged.
" Uncle Veggie says he's up in space with his future self. " Goten added, trying to get the subject off them
drenching Chi-Chi in water balloons.
" What?.... " Chi-Chi looked baffled, letting the chibis breathe a sigh of relief.
" Umm, you see Chi-Chi-san, Toussan, he-- "
" Just tell me where the Ouji is. " Chi-Chi groaned, " I'm sure wherever he is that Goku is obviously nearby and once
I catch them I am going to pound the ouji into dust and Go-chan will be forced to stay in his room for the next month...with
the exception of when he as to go to the bathroom because I'm not letting him pee out the window and onto my flowerbed like
the last time I grounded him. " she explained.
" I think Toussan's down with Kaasan in her lab. " Trunks offered.
Chi-Chi smiled, " Why thank you boys. " she nodded, then pleasantly walked off.
" You think she's still sore at us? " Goten asked his slightly taller friend.
" I dunno. " Trunks shrugged, " She seems oh-kay now. "
" --AND DON'T THINK I'M GOING TO FORGET ABOUT THAT PRANK YOU JUST PULLED!! " Chi-Chi yelled from the backdoor porch.
Both demi-saiyajins sweatdropped.
" I guess not... "
/dl
" HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME!!! I'M BEING HELD CAPTIVE AGAINST MY WILL!!! " future Goku cried out, standing up on a
platform in Bulma's lab, cuffs around his wrists and ankles attached to the bottom of the platform and a smaller platform
above his head. The saiyajin was still in his pajama bottoms and undershirt.
" Oh shuddup, future Kakarrotto! " Vegeta said, annoyed.
" Vegeta calm down. " Bulma sweatdropped, " I'm sorry we had to do this to you, Son-kun. I'm just giving you a
checkup though, no needles or anything like that. "
" That and I need to find out if you are a TRUE oujo or not so I know whether I have to promote Kakarrotto to 1st
class or only push him up to 2nd to save me from that disgusting supposed fate! " Vegeta added.
" BUT YOU CAN'T DO THAT!! " future Goku yelped.
" Of course I can! " Vegeta smirked and folded his arms, " I am the great and powerful saiyajin no ouji! And Bulma is
the great and powerful scientist kinda/sorta/half-oujo. "
" "Kinda/sorta/half.."? " Bulma sweatdropped.
" Well, you're not a real oujo. I can't help that. " Vegeta shrugged, " First of all, our bloodtypes are incompatible
and like you said several stoires ago if I were to get any of your B blood into my O system I would DIE. Second, you're not
a saiyajin and not nearly powerful enough to survive the final phases of the saiyajin mating ritural. " he explained, then
turned towards Goku, " Kakarrotto, *twitch-of-disgust* on the other hand, is more than powerful enough to make it through
with barely breaking a sweat! Which is why I intend to find out just how berserk my future counterpart went over you and if
he truely dumped a butt-load of a kaka-curse on himself. " Vegeta grabbed the large saiyajin's undershirt and tugged at it,
" You know, future Kakarrotto, " he smirked, looking up at the saiyajin, " You could partly redeem yourself now and tell me
if you are or are not a legal saiyajin no oujo. OR you could just make me find out on my own. "
" What if I'm not a legal oujo? " future Goku squeaked out.
" Then I reveal in your ability to scare the living crap out of me and let you go free. " Vegeta nodded.
" What if I AM? "
" Then I'll have to kill you before I have a heart attack and die myself. "
Future Goku gulped.
" Well, what's it going to be? " Vegeta smirked, " Are you going to tell me the truth or not. " he smiled evilly at
the larger saiyajin.
Future Goku's eyes watered and the large saiyajin nearly burst into tears.
" Vegeta now look at what you're doing to him! " Bulma scholded the ouji. Vegeta glanced over at the bawling Goku and
fell over.
" What happened to him!! " Vegeta sweatdropped.
" He's not used to you VERBALLY ABUSING him and THREATENING HIM WITH HIS LIFE, _VEGETA_!!! " Bulma yelled, annoyed,
" Future you is much different than your present self! " she said, calmer.
" Oh, you can say THAT, alright. " Vegeta rolled his eyes.
" I'm SERIOUS, Vegeta. Future you and future Goku are like this! " Bulma hooked her two pointer fingers together to
demonstrate.
" Oh GOD let's hope they're NOT like THAT! " Vegeta turned a pale green. Bulma looked down at her fingers and pulled
them away, laughing nervously.
" You know what I meant! " she continued to chuckle.
" So what do you want ME to do about it? Go over there and "apologize"? Yeah, I'm sure that'll get him to calm down!"
Vegeta said sarcastically.
" Just go be nice to him, Veggie-kun. Future you is much gentler with Goku-san than you are with the present one. "
Bulma said, " Console him or something. "
" You mean you want me to mush it up with him for a little while inorder to get him to take the undershirt off
instead of point a needle at his heart. " Vegeta sighed.
" Yes. Exactly! " Bulma replied.
" Alright, I'll do it. I'll go play mushy-land with future Kakarrotto for a couple minutes. " Vegeta groaned, then
walked over to the larger saiyajin, who by this point had tears streaming down his cheeks, he looked down at at slightly
uncomfortable-looking ouji.
" V-sama doesn't love me anymore! " future Goku choked out, sobbing loudly while pain thumped through his chest,
" V-sama said he'd always love me! How could you yell at me like that. You know I don't like it when you yell! " he wailed,
" Why doesn't V-sama still love me! WHAT DID I DO WRONG!!! "
" You, didn't do anything wrong. " present Vegeta said from on the floor. He grabbed a tissue and floated up to hand
it to future Goku, " Here, wipe your nose, you'll feel better and you won't be so ept to spread your kaka-germs. " the ouji
looked away embarassingly as he handed the tissue over, then glanced back at future Goku, who was still crying, " WELL!? "
" V-sama, I can't reach my nose. " future Goku sweatdropped. Vegeta twitched.
" What do you want ME to do about it?! " he exclaimed, then noticed Bulma giggling at him. Vegeta teleported infront
of her, " You want me to wipe his nose like he's a big baby, don't you? "
" That's what future you would do. " Bulma smirked, " You want to find out if future Goku is your "oujo" or not,
don't you? "
Vegeta growled, then silently cursed to himself as he teleported back up to future Goku and snatched the tissue from
his hand, ::I can't believe I'm wiping his nose!:: Vegeta mentally screamed inside his head, then wiped the larger saiyajin's
nose while trying his best not to look sickened, " There, feeling any better? " Vegeta gritted his teeth.
" ... "
Vegeta looked back at the larger saiyajin to see him staring back at the ouji with a big dopey grin and a lovesick
look on his face. The ouji face-faulted, " Eh... "
" Oh ~*V-sama*~, you're so ~*wonderful*~.... " future Goku sighed dreamily at him.
" How can he change moods so quickly... " Vegeta blinked in shock, then slapped future Goku across the face, " WILL
YOU CUT THAT OUT!! STOP LOOKIN AT ME LIKE I'M AN ONNA!! *hmmph*! " the ouji shouted, his face bright red. Pain jabbed the
larger saiyajin in the heart again and he felt more tears rise to the surface. Vegeta sweatdropped, " NO NO NO! I didn't
mean it that way, future Kakarrotto!! I just don't like you looking off in my direction as if you're madly in love with
whatever you're staring at!! "
Future Goku's tears slowed to a sniffle.
" Listen, future Kakarrotto, what does future me call you when you're "hurting"? " the ouji offered, trying to calm
him down further.
" V-sama calls me his little Kaka-muffin when I'm sad. " future Goku gave a small smile.
Vegeta nearly fell over, " HIS "KAKA-MUFFIN"!!! " he exclaimed, " Present Kakarrotto must be having a grand 'ol time
up THERE right now. " he muttered dryly.
" No, his "LITTLE Kaka-muffin", not just plain "Kaka-muffin". " future Goku corrected him.
" Hai, how COULD I have screwed THAT up. " Vegeta flatly remarked, getting up, " My "kaka-muffin". BLEH! " he stuck
his tongue out, " Future me must just "adore" you to nickname you after his and my favorite accompaniment to the pancake. "
" Oh, we're very close. " future Goku's cheeks turned pink, " Since V-sama calls me his "little Kaka-muffin"
sometimes I call him my "little Veggie-cakes". "
Vegeta's shoulders slumped to their sides. He grabbed a nearby needle and handed it to Bulma, " Here. Kill me,
please. "
" Vegeta! " she said, annoyed, then chuckled, " What's so wrong with "kaka-muffin" and "veggie-cakes"? " Bulma
laughed.
" You have no idea. " Vegeta said in a low, dangerous tone, then turned back to future Goku and mustered up all the
nice-ness he could manage at the moment, " Say, my "little Kaka-muffin", could you be a sweet lil "oujo" and do your
"Veggie-cakes" a favor, eh? "
Future Goku nodded eagerly w/big sparkily eyes, " Hai V-sama! "
" Take that shirt off for me, huh Kakay? " Vegeta grinned cheesily.
" Oh V-sama I don't know if I should. " the larger saiyajin said coyly.
" Well I'll reward you with something delicious to eat if you allow "V-sama" to take one, little, peek. Hmm? How
'bout it? " Vegeta said sneakly.
" Well....alright, for you V-sama. " future Goku giggled. The ouji released the device holding future Goku's hands
up. The large saiyajin reached for his undershirt and began to pull it up. Vegeta waited in nervous anticipation.
" OOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUU-JIIIIIIIIII!!!!!! " a scream roared from the stairs.
" KUSO! " Vegeta snapped angrily, stomping his foot into the ground, " KAKARROTTO JUST TAKE THE BAKA UNDERSHIRT
OFF!! "
" Oh V-sama what is that! " the larger saiyajin looked terrified and clutched at his undershirt in fear.
" It's only Onna, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta groaned.
" Chi-chan? WOW I forgot how loud she can scream! " future Goku smiled, then watched as Chi-Chi stomped down the
stairs swinging around what looked like a very large, heavy club. She walked over to Vegeta and stared him down.
" OUJI... "
" Onna. " Vegeta smirked, boastful yet slightly annoyed that she had interupted just as he was about to discover the
truth to whether or not future Goku was his future self's oujo.
" First of all, as a parent, I'd like to tell you your son along with my younger son chucked a good 6 balloons at
me while I was walking down the street. "
" Really? " Vegeta narrowed his eyes, then yelled up the stairs, " TORUNKUSU!!! " he shouted. The two chibis in
the kitchen near the steps froze, " PUT YOUR WATER BALLOONS AWAY! AS SOON AS I GET ONNA OUT OF HERE, YOU, ME, AND THE
CHIBI KAKA-SPAWN #2 ARE GOING OUT FOR ICE CREAM!! "
The two chibis grinned, " HOORAY!! " they cheered and gathered up their newest water balloons to throw them in a
nearby hideout (the hallway closet).
" You're CONGRADULATING them?! " Chi-Chi gawked incrediously.
" Somehow I'm not surprised. " Bulma said sarcastically, looking over at the grinning ouji.
" They both decked Onna in water balloons, and one of them was her own child! Of course they deserve a prize for
that! " Vegeta grinned.
" V-sama has such silly logic. " future Goku smiled warmly at the ouji.
" Why thank you, Kaka-chan! " Vegeta did a little courtesy bow, causing the larger saiyajin to giggle with delight.
" Oh brother! " Chi-Chi groaned, " AND YOU DON'T CALL HIM "V-SAMA"! HE DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE A "SAMA" ANYTHING! "
" That's where you are wrong, Chi-chan. V-sama has done such wonderful things for me. He's so sweet under all that
sour. Sometimes we sit up late at night can watch the stars together... " future Goku mused, " Then V-sama hugs me and
says "of all the stars out there Kakay, you're the brightest one of all". " he sighed dreamily.
Vegeta promptly threw up.
" Oh GOD, and all over my toolbox! " Bulma looked disgusted.
Chi-Chi only glared at both saiyajins, " Alright, that's it. You're coming back home with me, Goku. " she kicked the
device holding his feet, which then shut off. Chi-Chi grabbed him by the arm and dragged future Goku up the stairs.
" But--but Chi-chan! You don't understand, V-sama, he--- "
" Oh I understand plenty! Now let's GO! "
" Vegeta, Vegeta we have to go after them! " Bulma whispered loudly, " We can't have Chi-Chi find out the wrong Goku
is here, she'll flip! And then she'll kill BOTH OF US!! "
" Onna's only strong enough to kill you, I'll probably be mildly injured. " Vegeta commented, wiping the barf from
his face.
" WELL YOU'RE NOT GONNA LET HER KILL ME, ARE YOU!! " Bulma snapped.
" Of course not. " Vegeta stood up, " And if she does then I will destroy her and she will die a frighteningly
gruesome death, and then I'll wish you back to life in October when the dragonballs are functional again. " he nodded
thoughtfully.
" You won't have to BECAUSE I'M NOT LETTING MYSELF GET KILLED!!! Now let's go stop them! " Bulma ran over to the
stairs, then up them.
Vegeta sighed, " Why does this sort of thing always happen to ME! "
/dl
" *WHEW*! Finally! " present Goku flopped onto the large bed in his future self's room. It had taken the saiyajin a
good 15 minutes just to find where it was due to the immense size and vast amount of rooms in the spaceship, " I don't get
why future Veggie needed to make this place so big! There's only 2 of us! Before Gohan was born, Chi-chan and I did just
fine living in our lil mountain house. At least we could easily find the bathroom! " he sighed, then looked down at his
blue gi, " I think this has to be the only NORMAL piece of clothing future me owns. Maybe I'll just go tell future Veggie
the "itch" stopped so he doesn't come back here and I have to dress up in some frilly gettup again. " the large saiyajin's
face flushed pink with embarassment, " If it wasn't just future Veggie and me I'd feel even sillier wearing that stuff.
Bura must've picked most of it out, or designed it....I wonder what she ended up doing if Trunks got to run Capsule Corp?..
....she WAS the last one of the gang to die off so I guess she must've influenced little Veggie's mind a lot before she went
and Veggie and I had no one left to talk to. "
" You know I'll always be here when you need someone to talk to, Kakay. " a warm voice came from behind him.
Goku twitched and looked over his shoulder to see future Vegeta snuggled behind him, also still wearing his gi.
" AHHH!! " Goku shrieked, spun around, and backed up; falling off the bed and crashing into the floor, " FUTURE
VEGGIE STOP THAT!!! " he screamed nervously.
" I don't see why you're so alarmed, Kakay. Even as far back as the my past self who we visited could teleport. "
the ouji blinked.
" Well--TELL ME WHEN YOU DO IT NEXT TIME, OH-KAY! " Goku exclaimed. The smaller saiyajin only chuckled, then hopped
down off the bed and walked past him, " Hey, where're you going? "
" To your closet, we have to get you changed out of that itchy gi, don't we? " the ouji smiled coyly, causing all the
blood to drain out of Goku's face.
" Nuh--no future Veggie, really, that's alright. The itch--it's stopped, see? It's all gone. Ha ha ha ha ha. " he
laughed nervously.
Future Vegeta ignored Goku and busily looked through the dozens of hangers-full of clothes, tossing out ones he
didn't care for over his shoulder and into a pile. Goku walked over to the future ouji and sat down next to the pile. He
looked over at it and sweatdropped to how big it had gotten.
" Umm, future Veggie---? "
" MMmmmmMMMMmmmm, isn't this a beautiful jacket, Kakay-chan. " the ouji sighed dreamily as he rubbed the jacket up
against his cheek, " You'll look so parinkahh! "
Goku's brain fizzled on the last word, " "parinkahh"? "
" Hai, it's saiyago for a word that doesn't exist in english, it's somewhat similar to "gorgeous". " future Vegeta
thought outloud.
" "Gorgeous"? " Goku turned a slight pale green, " Future Veggie, maybe YOU should go lie down somewher-- "
" --try it on Kaka-muffin! " the ouji eagerly held it out to Goku, who twitched at the long, partly see-through-able
light pink jacket with the large fuzzy rings around the ends of the sleeves and one around the collar.
" Err....maybe later. " Goku laughed nervously.
Future Vegeta blinked for a moment, then cheerfully handed it to Goku and went back to search through the clothes,
" I know there's an outfit that goes along with that thing somewhere... " future Vegeta felt his temper grow slightly with
frustration at not being able to find where the entire outfit was. Goku backed up, a large sweatdrop on the back of his
head as he watched the future ouji continue his search, " AH-HA!!! " future Vegeta grinned with victory, holding up a hat
and a soft-looking gown, " Here we go, Kaka--- "
" --INCOMING MESSAGE FROM PLANET 33240957. INCOMING MESSAGE FROM PLANET 33240957. " the computer's voice announced
over the intercom. Vegeta snorted in anger.
" HOW DARE SOMEONE INTERUPT MY DAY LIKE THIS! " he snapped, then paused, " Hey, planet 33240957 is Bejito-sei's
location! " future Vegeta blinked, then left the room, " I'll be right back, Kaka-angel. I promise! " he said sweetly,
then ducked out.
Goku looked upward, relieved, " Thank you... "
/dl
" Why the heck would Bejito-sei be calling me at this hour! " future Vegeta ranted, then pressed a button in the
control room and the middle of the 3 gigantic monitors switched on.
" GIVE ME BACK MY LITTLE BROTHER YOU NUT-JOB!!! " Raditsu yelled angrily from on-screen, the inside of one of
Bejito-sei's castle's halls behind him.
The ouji smirked, " Why Raditsu, I have no idea WHAT you are talking about. " he said innocently.
" Don't play dum with me! I know you have my brother with you! You're ripping off me and my parents by keeping him
out there! "
" HA! This from the same saiyajin who tried to KILL Kakarrotto oh-so-many years ago. " Vegeta snickered.
" YOU TRIED TO KILL HIM TOO! It's not fair to hold him in that ship like you're the only two saiyajins left in the
universe! Kakarrotto has a whole planet of us now! You're gonna brainwash him out there. " Raditsu's voice lowered, slightly
saddened, " Our parents don't even know he's still alive. THEY THINK HE GOT KILLED TOO MANY TIMES TO BRING BACK like you
told them! But I know different. Nappa and I grew up with you for YEARS. We both know how your little mind works! " he
hovered his finger around in a circle by his head to indicate the ouji's craziness.
" Hey Raditsu who you talking to? " Nappa came on-screen behind him, " The King'll get mad if we're not at our posts,
we have to protect the castle, it's our job. "
" VEGETA'S HOLDING KAKARROTTO HOSTAGE ON US!!! " Raditsu complained.
" No, Vegeta told me this Cell guy killed Kakarrotto and he couldn't be wished ba-- "
" --well he is! There's two freakin towels behind him with his and Kakarrotto's names on 'um! " Raditsu pointed at
the monitor. Vegeta glanced over his shoulder at the towels, then grabbed future Goku's and tossed it out of view, then
looked around while innocently whistling to himself.
" Kidnapper. " Raditsu spat.
" YOU kidnapped Kakarrotto's child when you got to Earth. " Vegeta rebutted.
" It was just to bring him onto our side, which in retrospect I wish I hadn't even TRIED! Besides I wasn't going to
KEEP him hostage like YOU'RE doing to MY ONLY SIBLING!! "
" Raditsu? " Goku poked his head in the doorway wearing the outfit Vegeta had given him, " IT IS RADITSU!! HAHAHA!
SOMEBODY ELSE HERE TO TALK TO BESIDES VEGGIE!!! " he squealed, zipping over nearby future Vegeta, who paled when he saw him,
" OH WOW! HI RADITSU!! I thought Piccolo killed us both! " Goku grinned stupidly.
" He did. All the saiyajins with the exception of Paragus and Brolli were brought back. " Raditsu explained.
" THAT'S SO AMAZING! Haha, future Veggie's been creeping me out ever since I got here and I'm such a pile of nerves
right now it's really unbelievable. " Goku laughed lightly.
" "Creeping you ou--" hey what the heck are you WEARING?! " Raditsu did a double-take.
" Umm, it was, future Veggie's idea. " Goku sweatdropped, embarassed, then looked away, " ....Raditsu? Am I really
Veggie's princess? "
" WHAT?! " the older saiyajin nearly had a heart-attack.
Future Vegeta laughed nervously, " Hahaha, silly Kaka'ums, always saying such silly things, haha. " he pushed Goku
out of the room, " Just wait for me in your room, Kakay, oh-kay? " the ouji smiled sweetly at his supposed "oujo".
" Uh, alright, but future Veggie I wanna talk to my bro--- "
" *SLAM*! " Vegeta slammed the door behind him, then walked back to the monitor, " You know guys, sometimes they say
the camera can play tricks on you. " he smiled cheesily.
" His OUJO!? " Raditsu said in disbelief as he stared off into nowhere, his eyes bulging out of their sockets and his
pupils amazingly small.
" Uhh, isn't Kakarrotto supposed to be dead? " Nappa was the most confused saiyajin of the group at the moment.
" His OUJO?! "
" Maybe he's a zombie or something-- "
" --OH SHUDDUP, NAPPA!! " future Vegeta snapped at him.
" His OUJO! Oh sweet Lord help me!! " Raditsu looked like he was ready to die right there, " WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PICK
ON SOMEBODY FROM _MY_ FAMILY!!! WHY WHY WHY!!! " he wailed.
" I'm not picking on Kakay. He is mine, and shall remain so till the end of time, which isn't anytime soon. " Vegeta
said stubbornly.
" HIS _NAME_ IS _KAKARROTTO_! Not "Kakay"!!! That's DISGUSTING, Vegeta. What a repulsive--did you even get a good
look at what you dressed him up in! " Raditsu ranted.
" Why yes, I did. And there's nothing you or anyone else on Bejito-sei can do about it! " the ouji smirked, " Because
when it comes right down to it, it's your word against mine, and I'm the prince of the entire planet and if I wanted to I
could have you thrown in the dungeon and put to death by the next morning! "
" But that's-- "
" --listen here I worked hard to get this far and I'm not going to let one of the people I had wished back ruin
everything Kakay and I have done all this time!! " the ouji narrowed his eyes. Raditsu looked mildly intimidated.
" I can understand that but can't you at least bring him back here, you know, to meet the rest of his family? I mean,
you're dressing him up in onna clothes and calling him pet names for crying out lou-- "
" --NO. "
" WHADDA YA MEAN NO! KAKARROTTO'S MY BROTHER!! "
" WELL KAKARROTTO'S _MY_ OUJO!!! " Vegeta yelled back.
" OH YEAH, YOU GET YOUR ROYAL BUTT OVER HERE AND YOU SAY THAT TO MY FAC---*BEEEEEEEP* "
Vegeta yanked out the connection cord.
" Oops, I think there's a bad line somewhere out there, Raditsu. Goodbye! " Vegeta said cheerfully, then got up and
walked out of the room, snickering evilly to himself.
" What did Raditsu want? " Goku asked curiously, looming over future Vegeta. The ouji laughed.
" Oh, he just wanted to wish us good luck on our little voyage, you know. Have a nice trip, that sort of thing. "
Vegeta brushed it off, still laughing lightly.
" He sounded pretty mad to me. " Goku said with uncertainty.
" Forget about it, Kaka-chan. " the ouji smiled warmly, " All that matters now is you and me and our beautiful
spaceship. " he walked past Goku, " Now let's head to the garden so you can relax. I can't have a stressful oujo on my
hands now can I! "
Goku peeked into the room, which now had tv snow on all the monitors. He closed the door and followed future Vegeta
down the hall, " No, I guess not. "
/dl
" BEHOLD!! THE GARDEN!!! " future Vegeta said proudly as he swung the door open to reveal what looked like the most
breathtaking plot of grass, land, and flowers on the face of the universe. Goku's jaw dropped to the ground, " Isn't it
AMAZING, Kaka-chan! " he exclaimed.
" Uhh, yeah. You know what future Veggie, I'm just gonna go sit right over here, oh-kay? " Goku said nervously,
plopping himself down on a nearby white bench.
" Ah, " the ouji walked up to the bench, " Future Kakay always enjoys that bench. It swings you know. " he smirked.
Goku looked down at the bench, then rocked it back and forth, " Hey! This is pretty ni--what'd-you-just-say? " he
pulled a double-take in the ouji's direction.
" That it swings? " future Vegeta said slyly.
" Before that. " Goku said flatly, narrowing his eyes suspiciously.
" That future Kakay really enjoys sitting on that bench. "
" That's what I thought. " Goku nodded quietly, then lept to his feet, " YOU MEAN YOU _KNEW_ ABOUT THE SWITCH!!! " he
yelped in shock.
" Hai. " Vegeta shrugged, amused.
" Buh---for whe---HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN!! "
" I'm not telling. " future Vegeta chuckled, confusing Goku immensely, " Come on, "past" Kakarrotto. You've been
calling me "Future Veggie" nearly the entire time you were here!!! That's practically a give-a-way. I'm not stupid you know."
he folded his arms, slightly insulted, " Besides your entire mannerisms are different and you're not nearly as sneakily
intellegent thanks to yours truely the way your future self is. "
" HEY! I am NOT stupid! " Goku threw the large fluttery hat on his head to the ground, " And if you knew you had the
wrong me the whole time then why did you make me play along with you like this!! "
" I didn't know the WHOLE time. " future Vegeta pointed out.
" Well for how long then! I think I deserve to know! " Goku pouted, folding his own arms.
" Well I think _I_ deserved to know about the switch in the first place, don't you think. " future Vegeta sat down
next to him on the bench, " Kakarrotto if you had told me from the start I wouldn't have needed to string you along after
discovering the truth for myself. " he said, then smiled goofily, " I thought 'buddies' were supposed to be able to tell each
other ANYTHING! "
Goku laughed a bit at the uncharacteristic grin on the ouji's face, which looked more simliar to his own smiles,
" Silly future Veggie! " he chirped, " I was gonna tell you in the beginning but, you were so much more, you know-- "
" --fun. "
" YES! You're a lot sweeter and sillier then present Veggie and I was having fun but then you started to get, well,
uhhh, " Goku fumbled for a word.
" --creepy. " the little ouji slid closer, causing Goku to slide away from him.
" Yes, creepy. " Goku said quickly.
" Mmmmm....heh-heh-heh-heee~~ " future Vegeta cocked his head with sneaky smile replacing the grin from before. Goku
sweatdropped. Vegeta sat back and instantly snapped out if it, " I suppose we should go switch you back now, huh Kaka-chan? "
" YEAH! Let's do it right now! " Goku said excitedly as future Vegeta got up, " Hey future Veggie? "
The ouji looked over at him.
" One more question. Why are you the way you are instead of like present Veggie is? " he frowned in confusion.
" Personally, past Kakarrotto, I lost a lot of people too. " future Vegeta smiled half-heartedly, " Well, actually
I didn't loose too many at all. Bulma, Mirai, Trunks, and Bura. That's only 4 people. And our fusion-babies are alive and
well. "
" That's good. " Goku nodded cheerfully at the thought that Gogeta and Vejitto still survived, " So, what're they up
to now. "
" They're on Bejito-sei too, working undercover as guards. " future Vegeta explained, " I can't just tell the whole
planet about our fusions and expect them to understand exactly how we made them & why they're as old as we are! "
" Future Veggie's got a point. "
" That, and I partially contribute my current personality to natural saiyajin aging processes. While we age slow and
live long, we're not exactly expected to make it this far without death in battle. We get sort of dependent as we grow older.
" Goku smiled at the ouji, " That and I blame whatever sanity I have lost after this entire 105 years to living around YOU
for too long. " future Vegeta added. Goku sweatdropped, " I PROBABLY have a kaka-DISEASE by now, not to mention the
kaka-germs that caused it! " he groaned, " They're most likely floating about inside this entire spaceship by now!! "
" Hee, now future Veggie is starting to sound like my old one! " Goku said happily.
" Uh-huh. " the future ouji said dryly, " I'm truely afraid to take a sample of my own dna for fear that it would be
not only overcrowded with kaka-germs but in addition those kaka-genes I ended up getting swapped thanks to that baka portara
fusion of yours. " a vein bulged on future Vegeta's forehead, " Now let's go spin this ship around and head back to earth,
it'll save time using the time machine once we're actually near the place in time I'll be dropping you off. " he left the
room.
" Where ARE you gonna drop me off, future little Veggie? " Goku giggled, happy that he was annoying to the ouji
again.
Future Vegeta twitched at the giggles in Goku's voice, " Capsule Corp, where else? "
/dl
" YOU MEAN HE'S WHAT?!! " Chi-Chi almost fell over as she stood in the living room behind the front door, grasping
onto future Goku's undershirt by the back collar.
" From the, future. " Bulma laughed nervously.
" THE FUTURE?! IF THIS GOKU IS THAT OUJI-LOVIN ONE FROM THE FUTURE, THEN WHERE'S MY GOKU FROM THE PRESENT!! " Chi-Chi
shook future Goku's collar angrily.
" *ACK*! " future Goku choked out.
" You're, hurting him. " Bulma pointed to future Goku.
" I DON'T CARE WHERE'S _MY_ GOKU!! "
" Up in space with future me. " Vegeta suddenly appeared next to Bulma. Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at the ouji.
" ... "
" ... "
" WHY YOU LITTLE-- " Chi-Chi grabbed Vegeta by the throat and began to strangle him simpsons-style. Vegeta let out a
yelp of pain.
" Ohhhhh boy. " Bulma covered her eyes with her fingers so she could only peek out at the scene before her.
" Chi-chan! Chi-chan STOP! V-sama's all-powerful! He can KILL you! " future Goku gasped, frightened.
Vegeta smirked, " Yeah Onna, you heard future Kakay--*ACK*! "
" SHUDDUP, OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi snapped.
" Stop it! It's not V-sama's fault! I'M the one who made the switch!!! " future Goku pleaded.
Chi-Chi glared at him over her shoulder and dropped Vegeta to the ground; the ouji coughing and hacking, " What? "
she said dangerously. Future Goku scooted back on the floor.
" I--I'm really sorry, Chi-chan! It's just that I missed you so much, I only wanted to be with you and everybody else
like it used to be just one more time. " he sniffled.
" Well, "future" Goku, that's very touching and all, but HOW do you propose we switch you BACK! " Chi-Chi growled.
" Umm, well, I-- "
" *CRASH*!! " the group froze as something came hurtling down through the roof and landed smack-dab in the middle of
where they were standing.
" A _MACKERAL_?! " Chi-Chi said in shock as they all stared down at the unusually large fish.
" GREETINGS EVERYBODY FOR WE ARE HOME!!! " a familiar voice shouted from the rooftops.
" GO-CHAN!! " Chi-Chi exclaimed w/sparkily eyes, " You're back and you're safe and oh-kay!!! "
" We're saved. " Bulma gave future Goku a relieved smile.
" V-sama... " future Goku clasped his hands together, musing as he stared up at the ship through the hole in the
roof.
" VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! " a super-excited,
near-psychotic scream echoed from the ship as the larger of two figures on the ship's outer deck off.
Vegeta paled, " Oh no.... " he twitched, then backed up, hoping to get out of the room only to get tackled and rammed
into the ground by a large, light-pink blob. The ouji let out a noise of pain.
" OHHHHHHHHHH!!! VEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIE!!! I'M-BACK! YOU'RE-SAFE! WE'RE-HERE!!!
I-MISSED-YOU!! " present Goku rabbled off at an impeccable speed while hugging the ouji tightly.
" Uh, Kaka....rrot...to... " Vegeta squeaked out, running out of oxygen.
" EEEEEEE~~~~ " the larger saiyajin grinned.
" ....KAKARROTTO!!! " Vegeta shouted.
Goku took a deep breath, " *AHH*.....VEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIE--- "
" --CUT IT OUT ALREADY!! " the ouji exclaimed, causing Goku to look down at him. Vegeta looked back up and
face-faulted to see the larger saiyajin staring w/big sparkily eyes, " Eh... "
" I, missed you little Veggie. "
" Uh-huh. " Vegeta said flatly.
" I bet little Veggie missed ~~*ME*~~! " Goku said teasingly, pulling Vegeta away and poking him in the belly.
" I did not. " Vegeta stubbornly looked away, his face a light red.
" Oh little Veggie missed me alright. I know little Veggie and little Veggie ALWAYS misses me!!! " Goku began to
trace a circle around Vegeta's belly-button. The ouji, though now bright red in the face, was not amused.
" Please, don't do that. " Vegeta gritted his teeth.
" I cannot help it if little Veggie has a cute belly but-ton! " the larger saiyajin giggled.
" Heh...heh-heh-heh, " Vegeta laughed nervously, then grabbed Goku's hand and pushed it to the side. The larger
saiyajin observed his hand for a second, then went back to tracing circles on the ouji's stomach while holding Vegeta's
training shirt up with his other hand, " So, how was life with, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... " Vegeta's mind suddenly went blank
and a small trail of drool began to drip out the side of his mouth.
" Goku! Take your finger out of his belly button! " Bulma groaned.
" Hmm? " Goku cocked his head at her, then looked back at Vegeta to find the little ouji now glowing bright red and
a droplit of drool hanging out of his mouth and dripping onto the floor, " OH! " Goku pulled his finger out, " Veggie? VEGGIE
SNAP OUT OF IT! "
" Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... "
Goku slapped Vegeta across the face, " VEGGIE!!! "
" .....YOU BIG BAKA! WHAD YOU DO THAT FOR!!! " Vegeta's wits immediately fell back into place.
" Wow Veggie, you must have like, some of your brain in your tummy for you to get all brain-deed whenever I put my
finger in your belly-button! " Goku grinned.
" My royal anatomy does not concern you. " Vegeta glared at him, " Now where was I? Oh yeah, so, how was life with
my future counterpart? " he asked curiously.
" Future Veggie is really super-sweet but kinda creepy. " Goku concluded, " If he wasn't so creepy I think I would've
stayed with him! " he laughed loudly, then paused as he noticed a terrified and worried look on the present ouji's face.
" You'd never really LEAVE me like that, would ya Kakay? " Vegeta stared up at him, wide-eyed.
Goku looked down at him sympathetically, then over at future Vegeta, who was standing across the room holding future
Goku against him, " No. No I don't think I'd leave here for future Veggie, Veggie. " he paled.
" Mmmm... " future Vegeta trailed off, mmming with contentment.
" They've been doing that for at least 4 minutes straight now. " Bulma sweatdropped.
" YOU CUT THAT OUT!!! " Vegeta screamed at his future counterpart, mortified. He stomped over to him, " WHAT THE HECK
IS WRONG WITH YOU!! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE MUSHYING IT UP WITH KAKARROTTO!!! "
" Hahahaaaahhhhhh... " future Vegeta giggled, hugging future Goku as tightly as possible, " I have a kaka-disease. "
he grinned dopily at present Vegeta, " It's what happens when you live around my Kaka-muffin and those kaka-germs for entire
decades at a time. "
" WHAT?! " present Vegeta nearly fell over, " THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A KAKA-DISEASE!!! " he exclaimed, then pulled
a small object that looked like an airport metal scanner out of his pocket, " THIS is a kaka-germ scanning machine. As you
probably know, seeing as that you were me at one point, the kaka-germ scanner scans an object for it's concentration and
content amount of kaka-germs. " he turned it on, then pointed it at his future self, " Now let go of future Kakarrotto so I
can scan you. "
" NO! " both future saiyajins cried out at once, clutching onto each other protectively. Vegeta turned a pale green
with disgust.
" Oh...God... " he twitched, then grabbed his future self's gi sash instead and held it up to scan.
" *Beep...beep...beep..beep..beep.beep.beep.BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP!!!!!* "
" WHAT THE HECK-- " present Vegeta paused the scan only to have his jaw hang open. There were massive numbers of
kaka-germs crawling all over the sash, feeding on it. Sections of the sash contained kaka-germs that were nearly 10 times the
size of the normal ones, " Oh....dear....God, I am DOOMED!!! " Vegeta shrieked, then noticed he was still holding the sash
and dropped it to the floor. He then proceeded to jump up and down repeatedly on it, " DIE, SHIMATTA!! DIE!! "
" Hahaha, you can't kill them. " future Vegeta chuckled while future Goku rubbed his shoulders, " We're immortal,
remember? Everything about us, even the kaka-germs. "
Vegeta's eyes widened in fear at the thought, " Future, err, self; do you have any idea how many kaka-germs were
inhabiting one square inch of your "gi sash" ALONE?! " he gawked.
Future Vegeta's eyes also widened in fear, " Yes, I have an idea.....and I never, ever, want to know. That very
knowledge could drive me mad. "
" Haiiiiiii, and nobody likes a mad V-sama, right V-sama! " future Goku said sweetly, glad to have his timeline's
Vegeta back.
" OhhhhhHHHHhhh. " present Vegeta shuddered at him.
" I can rub one of your shoulders too, if you'd like, present V-sama. " future Goku smirked at him while wiggling
the fingers on one of his hands.
" NO! No thank you. Hahahahaha. " he laughed nervously.
" Well then I guess we ought to be going. " future Vegeta smirked up at the larger saiyajin, who only giggled with
delight in reply, " Aww, my Kaka-muffin agrees with me. Isn't that kawaii? " the ouji cooed to future Goku.
Present Vegeta suddenly had the urge to shoot himself in the head.
" Yeah, have fun and all, enjoy your trip! " present Goku spoke up. Vegeta glanced over at him and pulled a
double-take. For the first time realizing exactly WHAT present Goku was wearing.
" What in the-- " he began.
" --long story little Veggie. I'll tell you all about it later. " present Goku said, embarassed.
" There's one more thing I'd like to do before I go, Kaka-chan, if that's alright with you. " Future Vegeta offered.
" I'm alright, V-sama. " future Goku nodded politely.
" Good. " the ouji replied, then walked up to Chi-Chi, who had been sending him death-glares ever since he
re-arrived, " Onna, care for a friendly handshake goodbye? " he smirked.
Chi-Chi looked at him, a little leerly, then held her hand cautiously out. Future Vegeta also reached out only to
burst into ssj4 at the last moment, scaring the living daylights out of her.
" AHHHHHHHHH!!!! "
" RAAAAAAAAARRRRR!!! " future Vegeta let out an imitating roar.
" MONSTER MONSTER MONSTER!!! " Chi-Chi shrieked, terrified; then grabbed a nearby foot rest and swung it at future
Vegeta's head, " You stupid Ouji! " she angrily shook her fist at him, " Making me get mad over nothing!! "
" Oozaru-related form? " present Vegeta acknowledged.
" Hm? Oh, hai. Compact Oozaru, or as I like to sometimes call it, ssj4. " future Vegeta replied neatly.
" ...but it's not related to ssj's 1, 2, and 3. This form has to do with oozarus and our tail glands. "
" ... "
" ... "
" It's because I never reached level 3, isn't it? " present Vegeta said lamely.
" Actually-- " future Vegeta powered down, then went up again only to ssj3, " --you can. "
The present Ouji's eyes bulged out of his head in shock.
Future Vegeta turned to future Goku, " I'm going up to the ship, Kakay, meet me there after you finish your
goodbyes. " he said, then smirked at the group, " Goodbye Onna, Bulma, present Kakay and present me. " the future ouji
waved, then teleported back to the ship.
" I learn how to ultimately control my oozaru form in-order for me to accomplish the compact version. " present
Vegeta said, impressed, then frowned, " However I contact a kaka-disease and never recover from it... "
" Well Vegeta, you can't have your cake and eat it to. " Bulma nodded wisely.
" WHADDA YA MEAN I CAN'T HAVE BOTH!? We're RICH! We can buy a whole stinkin cake STORE! " Vegeta exclaimed.
The others sweatdropped.
" Genius is lost upon the stubborn. " Bulma sighed.
" And the insane. " Chi-Chi added.
" Now, speaking of having my cake, " Vegeta held out his hand to shake future Goku's. The large saiyajin laughed.
" O' V-sama, you are not going to be able to trick me with the same trick MY V-sama performed not even 10 seconds
ago. " he smiled down at Vegeta.
" Hai, I suppose you're right... " the ouji shrugged, " WOW LOOK AT THAT OVER THERE! " he fake-gasped, pointing
off to the right.
Future Goku looked over, " Look at what where?--OOF!! " he let out a strangled noise as Vegeta shoved him against
the wall.
" Bwahahahaha. " he laughed manically, " Future Kakarrotto, some things about you never change. " Vegeta said,
" Now that I've got you right where I want you I'm going to find out once and for all if you're really future me's
oujo or not before you go! "
" V-sama, oh V-sama don't! " future Goku looked petrified.
" Sorry Kakarrotto, it's too late for that! AHA! " Vegeta grinned victoriously, then grabbed present Goku's
undershirt future Goku was wearing and ripped it off.
/dl
" And he's been in a coma for the past 3 days ever since. " Bulma sighed tiredly as she, Goku, Chi-Chi, and the
two families gathered in one of Capsule Corp's hospital rooms around an unconsious present Vegeta; who was connected to
various complicated-looking machinery.
" Did he even get to tell you if he saw anything or not at least? " Gohan asked curiously. Bulma shook her head no.
" Well, he didn't tell me, but that necessarily doesn't mean there was or wasn't anything on future Goku's chest
or not. " Bulma replied.
" There better not have been, that's all I can say. " Chi-Chi grumbled.
" Aww, Chi-chan. I'm sure there wasn't and if there was than it probably wasn't future me or future Veggie's
faults. " Goku smiled weakly.
" Ohhhhh... " Vegeta moaned from under the sheets.
" Veggie! Veggie's coming to! " Goku said excitedly as Vegeta finally opened his eyes a bit, " Oh Veggie you are
a-live!! Was there anything there, little Veggie? Was there anything NOT there? What happened why did you faint do you
know you've been comatose for 3 whole days!! " he babbled on.
Vegeta groaned, " Kaka....rrotto. Please, stop your mindless peasant blabber for 2 seconds. I have a splitting
headache. " he sat up, rubbing his forehead with his pointer finger and thumb.
" Vegeta! We need to know! Did he have your future self's teeth-marks in him or not! " Bulma exclaimed.
Vegeta hung his head, " I don't know, I fainted before I could get a good look. "
Everyone fell over.
" WHAT?! " Bulma gawked, " After all fuss you made over it! "
" So? People faint when they're under extreme amounts of stress. " Vegeta huffed, folding his arms, " Besides, I
don't really need or want to know anyway. Chances are, either way I'd need some major psychological help. And if there's
one thing I don't want, it's somebody peeking into my head and poking around. " he nodded, " I'm also thinking of buying
something to temporarily sand my teeth or a type of armor to cover Kakarrotto's neck and chest; just in case, you know. "
" Wow, you're really optimistic, aren't you. " Bulma said sarcastically.
" Veggie? " Goku said shyly, back in his orange and blue gi.
" Hmm? " the ouji looked up.
" Little Veggie, I wanted to say that; with everything I've been through--on the ship and all, I think I'd like to
stay a peasant just a little bit longer before being Veggie's oujo; if, that's oh-kay with him? " he gave Vegeta a small
smile.
The ouji brightened up, " Kakarrotto! That's great! *whew*! I thought for a second there I was going to have to go
through with the plan and bump your status up to a 1st class elite to fix your broken "ego". "
" WOW!!! Veggie's gonna make me a 1st class saiyajin peasant!! " Goku squealed w/big sparkily eyes, " Oh Veggie~~! "
Vegeta laughed nervously, " Well, actually 2nd or 1st class, I didn't mean-- "
" --FIRST CLASS! That's so cool and nice and super-sweet of little Veggie!! I bet it's like, 1 or 2 positions away
from being an ~*OUJO!!!*~ " Goku grinned eagerly.
" Hey!! Waitaminute! I thought you were over that "oujo" thing! Kakarrot!!! " Vegeta screamed in a slightly panicky
voice as Goku bounced around the room with joy, " KAKARROTTO!!! "
" Hee~~~~! " Goku teleported over to him, " FIRST CLASS senshi Kakarrotto reporting for duty, little Veggie! "
" Ohhhhhh, Kakarrotto I didn't mean it like that! Really! You're still in 3rd!! " Vegeta yelled as Goku bounced
towars the door.
" This is so AMAZING! I can't WAIT to tell the others about it! ME--first class!! " he ducked out of the room, then
poked his head in and smiled sweetly in Vegeta's direction, " Thank you little Veggie! I luv you! " Goku said, then
re-left again.
" Well, "bite-mark" boy, whadda you have left to say for yourself? " Bulma snickered at the scene. Vegeta sighed,
laying back with his head on his pillow and sighed more loudly.
" Why me...... "

THE END
Chu, Son, & Veggie: We apologize for the big-ness of this chapter!!
Chuquita: (happily) But it's finally over so congrads to anyone who made it to the end.
Vegeta: I KNEW you should've just stopped halfway and made a part 5.
Chuquita: And I was doing so well with the size of the previous chapters too. *sighs*
Goku: (to Chu) So, we never find out if future me has Veggie-teeth-marks in him or not.
Chuquita: (grins) Nope! I like a good mystery, and besides, this way both the people who want it to happen and those who
think it's gross can be mildly satisfied with the fact that we don't know either way for sure!
Vegeta: Ah, negociations.
Chuquita: (to audiance) And yes, to whoever asked the question in the review; I did work on this real late at night a couple
days this week (seeing as this is my spring-break week: up until next Tuesday, anyway) Infact, a large portion of everything
above "the end" was written by me last night (hence the end time at 2 in the morning, right now it's 12 in the afternoon)
because frankly I wanted to get this out today.
Goku: The last two chapters were closer together cuz the site was working weird last monday and the other one was finished
by that thursday.
Chuquita: But now we're done! I have another Piccolo one-shot coming up soon so as in my previous one-shots with him I'll
list the summaries for my upcoming stories (since I wanna keep this end corner short due to the giant-size of the chapter
itself)
Vegeta: (snickers) The namek finds a watch that can stop all time around him and uses it in an attempt to take over the
planet; again, which of course---well, _I_ think, will fail.
Goku: Do not be so negative little Veggie! (smiles) Piccy-kun is very wise and smart.
Vegeta: Wise and smart are two different things, Kakarrotto. And YOU are neither.
Goku: (confused) ....wait, what?
Chuquita: The next story has to do with an idea that hit me out of the blue along with something I've noticed while comparing
saiyajin-saga mangas to the cell ones in my shounen jump. It has to due with Veggie!
Goku: (grins) Who is little, silly-brained, and cute! [hugs Veggie tightly]
Vegeta: (sweatdropped) I am NOT "silly-brained".
Goku: (giggles) Veggie's little and cute though, right?
Vegeta: (glances at Goku's height, then at his own) Well, oh-kay, I AM "little" for your average saiyajin, and I'm quite
handsom--
Goku: --CUTE! (hugs tighter)
Vegeta: (twitches) Oh God...
Chuquita: Here's the summary! Or something like it:
Summary: It's been 13 years since Veggie first landed on Earth, and newschannels are starting to finally replay the videos
taken of the two aliens who blew up North City. The newscasters along with the FBI and scientists are starting to believe
that the smaller alien is still alive, AND walking among the Earthlings. Now there's a 100 million $ reward for the capture
of the alien, and everybody wants to take advantage of it, including Chi-Chi and the other members of the Z-senshi who
particularly don't care for the ouji. But what happens when Veggie reveals to the press that Goku is also an alien? Will the
gang be able to save the two saiyajins from ending up subjects in a series of, private, secret experiments on their minds
and bodies? Will there be anything left to save by the time they get there?
Chuquita: Hope you'll enjoy the next fic. I can't wait to get started on this one! BTW, if anyone knows the name of the city
Veggie and Nappa (technicly it was only Nappa) that was destoryed when they first landed in the middle of the street, e-mail
or tell me in the review; I'm just going w/North City til then.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Lazy.
Chuquita: Well it doesn't say what city you guys landed in in the manga!
Goku: (grins) Maybe it was Goku Town!
Vegeta: (smirks) Or Kaka Village.
Chuquita: We already had a Kaka Village back in "King Me!"
Vegeta: (thinks back) Oh yeah...
Chuquita: Well, goodbye til the next story everybody! (waves)
Goku: BYEBYE!
Vegeta: (sigh) So long.
Goku: (to Veggie) Heee, I'M A FIRST CLASS PEASANT NOW!!
Vegeta: (rolls his eyes) Oh you're a first class SOMETHING, Kakarrotto...

Quote of the Week: -from DuBZ #291 "Goku's Next Journey"
Goku: (to Veggie) Hey Vegeta, sorry to disappoint you, I was looking forward to one more bout with the prince of all saiyans.
Veggie: Don't worry about it, we couldn't play, not here. When we fight we'll need a whole planet for an arena.
Goku: (laughs) You're too much, (quieter) Goodbye, my friend. [flies off]
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Well, there you have it. The dub's last Veggie & Son-kun conversation.
Goku: (eyes widen) (big grin) Veggie **PLAYS** with me!!! I WANNA PLAY WITH VEGGIE!!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) No, you don't. Trust me.
Goku: [pats Veggie on the head] Of course I trust you, Veggie!
Vegeta: --that's not what I meant by that, I meant I'd rather not play with you right now.
Goku: (not paying attention) (musing) Wow, me and Veggie play all sorts of games together after the entire Buu incident...
that must be so much fun!!!
Vegeta: (grumbles) I wasn't talking kiddie-games, I was talking about sparring.
Goku: Heeheehee, Veggie-playtime! (looks over at Veggie) Did you say something?
Vegeta: (sigh)
Chuquita: (points out) What I liked is how Veggie did mention going to another planet to spar against you.
Goku: (grinning at Veggie) Heehee, PLAY with me~~~
Vegeta: ... (glowing bright red, scoots away from Son a bit)
Goku: Veggie PLAYYYYS with me...(gushes joyfully) I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! (hugs Veggie) (sweetly) Veggie's my playmate!
Vegeta: (screams up at the ceiling) I AM NOT!!! (tries to get out of Son's grasp) (growls) Little children have playmates,
not grown saiyajins!!!!
Goku: (big knowing smile) Whatever you say, little Veggie.
Vegeta: (groans) Can't you take me seriously for just ONCE, Kakarrotto?
Goku: (happily) If I did then I wouldn't be me!
Chuquita: He's got a point there, Veggie.
Vegeta: (snorts) If he wanted to play with me so much he wouldn't have run off with Uubu (says name mockingly).
Goku: (still happy and hugging Veggie) VEGGIE-PLAYS-WITH-ME!!! :)
Vegeta: (dryly) Uh-huh. (to Chu) Personally I think it would've been a much better ending if it consisted of Kakarrotto and I
going out into deep space to sp--
Goku: --lay!
Vegeta: ...SPAR instead of Uubu even coming into existance.
Chuquita: (chuckles) Well, I didn't think Uubu was very interesting, but WHAT A BATTLE! I loved the mini-fight between him
and Son-kun!
Vegeta: (grumbles) Stupid fight! The creator of Kakarrotto and I and our entire little world could've thought up COUNTLESS
other endings; but instead he sends Kakarrotto far away on me because he HATES ME!
Goku: (hugs tighter) No I don't, Vedge'ums!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Not you, Kakarrot! Akira Toriyama, the guy who thought us up in the first place! He dislikes my
character so much that whenever Kakarrotto and I get on "warm, fuzzy terms with each other", he BLOWS ONE OF US UP!!
Chuquita: That's not true Veggie--
Vegeta: He let me get blasted through the heart by Freeza, he made Kakarrotto EXPLODE INTO TINY PIECES while sending Cell
away, he let _ME_ EXPLODE INTO TINY PIECES while fighting Buu, and then at the very end he makes KAKARROTTO GO AWAY!!
Chuquita: ...you DO have a point, but--
Vegeta: (to Chu) (narrows his eyes) Don't you think it's in the least bit suspicious whenever Kakarrotto or I get blown up
we're always near one another....EVEN MY OWN CREATOR DOESN'T WANT ME TO WIN MY KAKA-SERVANT-MAID!!!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Poor Veggie.
Goku: (sniffles) That's so sad, Veggie...HEY! I'm not Veggie's servant-maid!
Vegeta: (smirks) Oh you will be.
Goku: [plops Veggie down in his chair] (shakes finger at Veggie) No I won't be little Veggie's servant-maid (big grin) Cuz
I'm gonna be his ~*oujo*~!
Vegeta: You know what, Kakarrotto? I'm just going to ignore you this time. Yep. No speaking to Kaka-chan until he's off his
"oujo" kick.
Goku: Aww, Veggie you don't mean that (smiles warmly at Veggie) I'm gonna be Veggie's oujo and have my very own crown and a
big beautiful cape and Veggie'll introduce me to all the nice lil villagers on our planet and then we'll get to live in the
castle and have our own thrones and Veggie'll hug me for hours cuz he'd be so proud of me and I'd hug Veggie back and...
Vegeta: [plugging his ears with his fingers] (eyes squinted shut) LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALA...
Chuquita: I guess we should introduce part 4 then.
Goku: OOH OOH! I wanna do it! (snuggles Veggie) And I want my special lil playmate to do it with me!
Vegeta: (twitches) That sounds....so wrong....
Goku: [waves Veggie's arm in the air] Here is part 4 everybody!
Vegeta: (groans) Ohhhhhh.... (snaps) LET GO OF MY ARM!!! [yanks it away from Son]
Goku: (giggles)
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!
Chuquita: (smiles) Thanks to a couple of reviewers, we found out "Kakkoi/Kakoi/Kakkoui/Kakkouii" means "cool"! We also found
out it's the improper form of sugoi, which also means cool.
Goku: (grin) Thank you for your help!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
A nightmare, it was a horrible, terrible, tramatizing nightmare. But at least it was over. Vegeta sighed with relief,
now partially awake as he lay on his bed with his eyes closed. He had had some bad nightmares conserning Kakarrotto before
but this one had to be the mother of all Kaka-mares EVER. The ouji chalked this nightmare to merely the lack of information
his future self had given him about his fate within the coming century along with the fear he had experianced thanks to Goku
acting mushier than usual. But the nightmare was over, and that's all that mattered. He was in his bed, under the nice, warm
covers without any painful Kaka-images to bother him. That's when he heard it.
" Oh V-sama... " a high-pitched voice murmured in a dreamy slumber. Vegeta froze on the spot and slowly opened his
eyes only to discover future Goku laying beside him with his arms wrapped around the ouji and holding him tightly.
" Oh dear God... " Vegeta said quietly, his bottom left eyelid twitching; the ouji's brain, due to it had just woken
up, was completely out of ideas with how to deal with the situation he was in right now, ::Well, out of the frying pan and
into the fire, right?:: Vegeta throught sarcastically, ::I don't suppose I could possibly be dreaming this part too, huh?::
he then started to tap future Goku on the shoulder; having trouble doing so do to the fact that he was nearly smushed against
the larger saiyajin, " Kakarrotto? Kaka-chan wake up. " Vegeta said in a mock-sweet voice.
" Hmm? " future Goku slowly opened his eyes a crack and smiled lovingly at the little ouji, " Oh, morning V-sama my
angel... " he trailed off, letting out large yawns.
" Uh-heh-heh, your "angel", right. " Vegeta laughed nervously, ::Kaka-germs, crawling all over my skin...must,
temporarily, ignore:: " So, my sweet Kaka-muffin, would you mind letting go of "V-sama" and getting out of his bed so he can
de-contaminate his room? " he smiled.
" What flavor of muffin am I, V-sama? " future Goku smiled back widely. Vegeta twitched as he could feel Goku's
stomach growling for food underneath the covers.
" Umm, uhh, blueberry? " Vegeta spoke up.
" MMMmmmmm, I could sure go for a blueberry muffin, V-sama. A nice plump muffin on a pretty plate with special
condiments and everything. " future Goku sighed.
" Well, why don't you let go of "V-sama" first and he'll see what he can do. " Vegeta laughed nervously.
" ... "
" Kakarrotto? "
" .....ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz.... " future Goku fell
back into a deep sleep while still holding the ouji tightly, " Oh V-sama... " he mused in his dream.
Vegeta rolled his eyes, " I'm never going to get out of here. " he groaned, " What are you doing in my bed ANYWAY! "
he snapped at the still-snoring Goku, " You're supposed to be back home in your own! Isn't Onna watching you! " the ouji
complained as he tried to get out of the saiyajin's grasp, " Why is she always not watching you when I DO want you to be
watched! "
" Haha, " the larger saiyajin re-opened his eyes slightly, " Silly V-sama, Chi-chan's dead, she can't hurt us now.
Not anymore. "
" YOU _KILLED_ ONNA!!!? " Vegeta shrieked in fright and burst into ssj1, kicking Goku away from him and nearly off
the bed, " KAKARROTTO HAVE YOU GONE MAD WHAT WERE YOU THINKING WE STILL NEED ONNA HERE--- " the ouji paused then got a
bewildered look on his face when he sensed Chi-Chi's ki still alive and healthy back asleep in the Son home. He narrowed his
eyes at future Goku, who had sat up and was rubbing his kicked stomach in mild pain, " "V-sama", huh? "
" Mmmm... " future Goku sighed dreamily at the little ouji.
" You're not the same Kakarrotto who gave me the chunk of Bejito-sei yesterday, are you? " he motioned to the chunk
of land which the ouji had positioned in a corner of his large room with a label reading "HOME" in saiyago on the wall above
it.
" Uhh, what do you mean? " future Goku chuckled nervously.
" There's something wrong with you, Kakarrotto. At first I was sure you were sick, or perhaps tramatized by whatever
your "future self" told or showed you up in the spaceship; but you've been acting very 'off' since you came back from being
up there. The way you've been treating me, and Onna, and everyone else-- "
" --I realized that I missed you all so much and that all of you are very special to me because future me doesn't
have everybody still around. "
" --the way you kept calling me "V-sama" in your sleep. And you said Onna was dead when she's clearly alive and
kicking. " Vegeta scooched closer suspicously.
Future Goku gulped, " Oh V-s---Veggie, Veggie I was dreaming, that's all. It was all just a dream. I wasn't thinking
clearly. " he laughed nervously.
" Alright, Kaka-chan, I suppose I can understand all that. " Vegeta smiled warmly, " Kakarrotto, na pude lama se
karuka? "
" Hee~~, saa me soma kuli pashwa! " future Goku giggled, blushing.
" HA! " Vegeta pointed at him victoriously, " I KNEW IT! YOU'RE NOT MY TIME'S KAKARROTTO AT ALL! BECAUSE HE DOESN'T
SPEAK SAIYAGO!!! "
Future Goku slapped his hands over his mouth and paled.
" You gave yourself away the moment you started blabbering to me when I woke up. You weren't awake enough to really
think either! You were speaking in english alright, but your Saiyago accent was way too strong for even the present
Kakarrotto to pull off! Isn't that right, FUTURE KAKARROTTO! " Vegeta grabbed him by the tail and held on tightly, sending
rivets of pain up future Goku's spine.
" Oww....you can't, prove I'm the future Kakarrotto. And if I was then why would I do something bad like switch the
other Kakarrotto and I in order to stay here in his place! " he exclaimed.
" Because you finally saw your family and friends again and missed them, baka! " Vegeta grumbled, then began to
search for any physical evidence to prove his theory, " You're obviously a little smarter than present Kakarrotto because
you've been hanging out with ME for the past 60 or so years. " Vegeta boasted, then noticed something, " Ah-HA! "
Future Goku froze, " What are you doing? " he whispered.
" FUTURE Kakarrotto, tell me, when did you switch over from boxers to such fancy-looking briefs. " Vegeta smirked,
pulling up slightly on the side of the underpants so they were visible above Goku's pajama bottoms.
" ... " the larger saiyajin twitched and said nothing.
" Let me guess, while it would've been easier for you to just wear some of present Kakarrotto's boxers you didn't
want to chance letting Onna see these in her laundry basket and blow your whole cover on you so you continued to wear them
even AFTER you took a bath and prepared for bed. Correct? " the ouji said, his ego swelling at his awesome deductive powers.
" Hai, V-sama. " future Goku bowed his head with embarassment.
" That was a horrible thing to do, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta folded his arms, " It was a sneaky, envious, self-serving
plan. " he nodded, " I'M PROUD OF YOU! " Vegeta grinned, patting a confused Goku on the shoulder, " Wow, Kakay plotting evil
plots just like me. How wonderful... "
" Heeheehee. " future Goku giggled, his cheeks flushing pink, " I luv you, V-sama. "
" You do know I'm going to have to switch you back though. " the ouji said, still grinning.
" OHHHHhhh.. " future Goku pouted.
" But first, I'd like to check for something on your body, would you allow me to scan your neck and chest for any odd
markings that I could aid in avoiding the present Kakarrotto ending up with in the future. " he asked.
" V-SAMA! " future Goku gasped, " I can't believe you don't trust me! " he clutched the front of his pj's.
" DON'T TRUST YOU! YOU JUST PULLED A FAST ONE ON EVERYBODY ON THE WHOLE FREAKIN PLANET! HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO
"TRUST" YOU!!! " Vegeta screamed, " Just let me check so I can put my fears to rest or have them escalate to a point where I
would probably need to receive mental rehab for a few weeks. " he explained.
" What do you wanna check for! I'll tell you if it's there or not! " future Goku said protectively.
" Future Kakarrotto, I have had nightmare after nightmare about MY future and present Kakarrotto's last night. I am
surprised I haven't crapped myself silly over it yet! So will you PLEASE remove your top so I can check to make sure that you
don't have an indent of my future self's TEETH somewhere on your body. " Vegeta huffed.
" No... " future Goku whined.
" Oh come on! Will it change the time and space continuem THAT MUCH for me to know whether or not such a, a THING
occured!!! "
" Yes. " future Goku squeaked out.
" Fine then, what would happen. " Vegeta said calmly.
" The entire universe would be sucked in on itself in a firey ball of flame. " future Goku grinned cheesily.
" You're lying. "
" Yes. "
" THEN WHY WON'T YOU LET ME SEE!!! " the ouji roared.
" I'm, going to get us some breakfast. " future Goku said nervously, getting out of bed and waddling out of Vegeta's
room.
" OH NO YOU DON'T, _FUTURE_ KAKARROTTO! I WILL NOT BE HAUNTED BY SUCH NIGHTMARISH IMAGES FOR THE REST OF MY DAYS!
YOU'RE NOT LEAVING THIS TIME PERIOD, LET ALONE THIS HOUSE UNTIL YOU LET ME KNOW WHETHER MY FUTURE SELF, /marked/ YOU OR NOT."
he said with deep disgust; then bounded downstairs after him only to find future Goku now sitting at the kitchen table with
the rest of the ouji's family, all laughing and chatting as if the last 10 minutes of Vegeta's life had never occured. The
ouji blinked at the scene, his shoulders slumping, " Maybe I should have my canine teeth sanded down just in case. " he
murmured, contimplating the topic.
" Vegeta! There you are! Why don't you come down and join us for breakfast! " Bulma's mother said cheerfully, " Goku
here was just telling us this funny little story about how he left his gi sash here yesterday and came over this morning to
get it. "
Future Goku pleasantly held up the sash. Vegeta's eyes bugged out of his head, ::Where did he find THAT one!! And he
did NOT leave the one from yesterday here! He's lying again because he doesn't want to get in trouble--like me::
" Come on Veggie! You can sit next to me in the ~**special**~ chair! Reserved just for the most ~**special**~ lil
Veggies in the whole wide world! " future Goku chirped, having dropped his saiyajin accent again and sounding more like his
present counterpart.
" Fine. " Vegeta said flatly and marched over to the spot, then sat down next to Goku and glared up at him
suspicously, " Are you afraid to tell me because it IS there, or because it ISN'T there. Which one is it, Kakarrot? "
" What are you talking about, Vegeta? " Bulma cocked an eyebrow.
" Hahaha, oh silly little Veggie! He's always saying things that make so sense at all. " future Goku said, giving
the ouji a brief, yet tight hug.
" Yeah, oh-kay. " Bulma took the explaination and went back to eating her scrambled eggs.
" Would Veggie care for some maple-syrup-covered sausage links? " future Goku said sweetly, holding the nearby plate
up, " We all know how a big a fan of meat Veggie is! "
" Yes Kakarrotto. Of course. " the ouji replied, taking a few, " Say MIRAI-- " he shot a look at future Goku, " Could
you pass the milk, it appears Kakarrotto here DOESN'T HAVE ANY. "
Mirai Trunks looked at him oddly, " Something's going on that the rest of us don't know about, huh Toussan? " he gave
Vegeta the carton of milk. The ouji placed it by future Goku.
" Why yes, something is wrong, Mirai. " Vegeta smirked, then patted future Goku on the arm, " You see, Kakay here
hasn't been feeling well lately and we both thought it would be helpful to his FUTURE health if Bulma were to give him a
checkup--seeing as how he's afraid of hospitals and all. "
" Chi-Chi did call here last night and said something about Goku having insomnia. " Bulma said, concerned, " Did you
have much trouble sleeping Son-kun? "
" Umm, at little, at first... " future Goku laughed it off.
" ..that is until you broke into my bedroom and snuck into my bed with me while I was still sleep and unable to kick
your large kaka-tush out of my house. " Vegeta muttered under his breath.
" Did you say something, Vegeta? " Bunni asked.
" Oh, nothing. " Vegeta shrugged it off, " Nothing at all. " he shot another glance in future Goku's direction.
" I can give you a quick checkup after breakfast if you want, Son-kun. " Bulma offered.
" Yes, infact, I'll come down and aid you in giving Kakarrotto his checkup, seeing as I'm in such a good mood today."
Vegeta boasted.
Future Goku shifted and tugged tightly on his pajama top, " Umm, Bulma? "
" Well, I'm done! " Vegeta said cheerfully, getting up from the table.
" But you barely ATE! " she exclaimed, " You always eat like nearly 8 courses of breakfast!! " Bulma gawked.
" Kakarrotto? " Vegeta smirked at the larger saiyajin.
" I'D-LIKE-A-SECOND-HELPING-PLEASE!!! " future Goku said quickly, holding up his plate to Bunni, who gladly plopped
more waffles onto his plate. Vegeta cursed at Goku under his breath and sat back down in his chair with a grumpy look on his
face.
" In that case I'll have more too. " the ouji nodded, then promptly began to stuff his face again.
" I thought you said you were done. " Bulma said flatly.
" There's always room for more food. " Vegeta scoffed.
" Here here!!! " the larger saiyajin grinned, pumping his fist in the air.
Vegeta continued to eat, then paused as an idea hit him, " Hmm.. " an evil smile covered his face as he took the
nearby bottle of ketchup and pretened to have trouble opening it. The ouji loosened the cap and shook it left to right,
causing giant globs of ketchup to splatter all over Goku's pajamas, " Oops! " the ouji gasped in a mock-tone, " It looks like
I have accidentally gotten Kakay's shirt covered in ketchup blobs which will ultimately stain his be-loved pajamas unless he
takes the top off and goes to put it in the washing machine right now! "
Everyone looked at Vegeta skeptically.
" Vegeta, what the heck are you doing! " Bulma exclaimed.
" Yeah Toussan, it's pretty obvious you're up to something. " Mirai Trunks agreed.
" I'M not up to something! It's all Kakarrotto! " he pointed at future Goku, " Here Kaka-chan, I'll TAKE the shirt
to the laundry room FOR you. " he held out his hands.
" Alright Veggie. " future Goku smiled pleasantly. Vegeta stared in shock.
" Re--really? "
" Hmm! " he nodded and took off the pajama top to reveal..the short-sleaved undershirt he was wearing beneath it.
Vegeta fell over, " KUSO!!! " he snapped, getting back up, then snatched the pajama top away from future Goku, " My
future self has taught you well. " he said in a quieter, annoyed and impressed tone of voice, then stomped out of the room.
" Thank you for being so thoughtful, little Veggie! " future Goku called out sweetly. Vegeta cursed back at him in
saiyago as he stomped down the hall. Goku turned back to the bewildered group at the table, " Isn't he the sweetest thing! "
/dl
" ZZzz..ZZZzzzz...ZZZzzz..*sniff*sniff*...bacon? " present Goku lazily opened his eyes, then snapped to attention as
the past night's events flew back into his memory, " FUTURE VEGGIE! SSJ3! SPARRING DAY TODAY!! " he squealed with excitement,
then froze in nervousness as he realized future Vegeta was no longer in bed, " AHH!! Veggie! Veggie where are you you
promised you'd spar against me in your ssj3 form today and we'd have lots of fun and I'd get a real challenge for once and
we might even have a tie this time and-- "
" --MORNIN, Kaka-muffin! " future Vegeta said happily as he walked into the room carrying an extra-large tray covered
in breakfast goodies, " You seemed really sleepy so I let you sleep in and made breakfast without you this morning, hope you
didn't mind. " he walked over to Goku and pressed a button on the floor, causing a table to pop up that surrouned the edge of
the bed like a border. Future Vegeta sat the tray down, " How are you feeling this morning, Kakay? "
Goku grinned madly at the food, ::It's nice to know my taste in food hasn't changed over 105 years!:: " I am feeling
really great, little Veggie! " he chirped.
" That's nice. " the ouji leaned against Goku's shoulder, making the larger saiyajin's cheeks heat up to a pinkish
color, " You're so nice, Kakay. "
" Uhhh...................... " not really knowing how to react, Goku's brain just blanked out instead.
" I could help feed you you know. "
" Umm, no, no thank you little Veggie. I'm a good eater, I can eat without any Veggie-aid. " Goku smiled weakly at
him. Future Vegeta stared up at him w/big gooey eyes, making Goku's entire face turn bright pink.
" Oh-kay then Kakay. " he slid away from the Goku's shoulder, much to the large saiyajin's relief. Vegeta hopped off
the bed, " In that case I think I'll got get changed instead. We can't spar with each other while we're in our pajamas now,
can we? " he grinned, then ran off to the opposite side of his room.
" Future Veggie's sweet, but kinda creepy. " Goku concluded, then proceeded to woof down every bit of food infront of
him. Entire cities of eggs and bacon fell to their knees at the saiyajin's immense appitite. Waffles disappearing without a
crumb and syrup, milk, and orange juice flew all over the place like the remnents of a pint-sized yet devastating war.
" *WHEW*! " Goku layed on his back w/his filled gut up in the air, " I could eat future Veggie's cooking for
breakfast EVERYDAY! " he mused happily.
" I'm glad you liked it! "
Goku sat up, which was now a slightly difficult task due to the mass amounts of food that were now resting in his
stomach. The saiyajin did a double-take at what he saw. There was future Vegeta standing there wearing a blue and white
version of his orange and blue gi, " Veggie in a gi....... " the large saiyajin felt something in his mind short-circit.
" You better hurry up and get changed as well, Kaka-chan. Seeing as you're still in bed I'll get your gi for you if
you want. " future Vegeta smiled.
" Veggie in a gi..... " Goku said with a big grin on his face, his eyes wide and glazed over.
" ...umm, alright then. " future Vegeta cocked his head, then turned around and started to leave only to have
something glomp him from behind.
" Heeheehee, Veggie in a gi....... " Goku grinned, hugging onto the ouji tightly with his head on future Vegeta's
shoulder, " Present Veggie never spars with me in a giiiiiiiiii.......IT-LOOKS-SO-CUTE!! "
" Hai, I know... " future Vegeta snickered, " We always wear gi's, you know that. You said yourself how adorable I
look in one. "
" OH-VEGGIE-IS-ADORABLE-YES-YES-YES!!! " the present saiyajin squealed, " Veggie's my warm lil marshmellow fluff
floating around in the clouds during a light snow-storm and being covered in happiness and joy! " Goku rambled on, squeezing
future Vegeta tightly.
" Why thank you Kakay, what a sweet thing of you to say. " Vegeta smirked, " Your "warm lil marshmellow fluff", eh? "
" Veggie smells like marshmellows and strawberries! " Goku chirped, " At least, *sniff*sniff* past Veggie did. "
" Come Kakarrotto. " future Vegeta slipped out of the grip, " Let's go pick out what gi you'll wear to our bout. "
" WHAT gi? You mean I have more than one! " Goku grinned.
Future Vegeta nodded, " Hai, you silly Oujo. You have many beautiful gi's to choose from...of course they're not
nearly as beautiful as you. " he looked up with his face bright red to see Goku had now left and was happily chanting "Spar
time with Veggie" as he dashed out of the room. Future Vegeta sweatdropped, " There's something, not quite right here... "
/dl
" Stupid bakayaro! Tricks me! HOW DARE HE TRICK ME! I am his Ouji; his RULER; his-- "
" --need any help with that? "
Vegeta paused from stuffing Goku's pajama top into the washing machine to glance over at future Goku, who was
standing on one side of the washing machine with a small smile on his face, " Whadda you want NOW? "
" I, want to help you V-sama. You look like you're having trouble and I felt really bad about getting you in this
mess. I don't want you to be mad, but BOY is your personality enticing! " a lopsided grin covered the future saiyajin's face.
" You're kidding, right? " Vegeta said flatly.
" No, I like it. I really like it. It's one of the things I missed about you most of all. The way you get all rile up
like this. And how kawaii you look when you're confused. And how whenever you get mad, your cute little nose squnches all up
like this. " future Goku said impishly, then imitated the ouji's nose.
" Dear God I'm going to puke. " Vegeta groaned, " And I thought your present self could talk mushy! SHEESH! I'm not a
gumdrop, I'm not a snowflake, AND I'M NOT A MARSHMELLOW!!! " he screamed angrily at the non-existant present Goku, " If I was
as tall as Kakarrotto he'd give me more respect and so would you! " he pointed at future Goku.
" *sniff*sniff* What does that have to do with you smelling like marshmellows? " future Goku cocked his head,
sniffing the general area around the ouji.
" AAUGH!!! " Vegeta screamed, then handed turned the washing machine on and stomped out of the room, " I SWEAR! My
time's Kakarrotto isn't even here and yet I can still sense random bits of his crazed kaka-brain across time and space
through that baka portara fusion!! " he stood and huffed, then folded his arms, " KUSO EAR!!! " Vegeta tugged on his right
earlobe hard, then smirked pleasantly as he could hear the sound of the larger saiyajin screaming wildly in pain in the very
back depths of his mind, " Heh-heh-heh. " Vegeta paused, " Well, that was mildly amusing, but I can't go on like this. I HAVE
to something in order to get the Kakarrotto's switched back again--but not before I find out whether future Kakarrotto's
"oujo" claim is legal or not. " he nodded, " I have to remain calm, cool, in control. "
Bulma walked by him, " Hi Vegeta. "
" KAKARROTTO'S-FUTURE-SELF-SWITCHED-PLACES-WITH-HIM-AND-I-HAVE-TO-KNOW-IF-FUTURE-KAKARROTTO-IS-A-REAL-OUJO-OR-NOT-AND
-WHO-KNOWS-WHAT-THE-HECK-MY-FUTURE-SELF-IS-DOING-TO-PRESENT-KAKARROTTO-AND-IF-I-DON'T-FIND-OUT-SOON-I'M-GOING-TO-LOOSE-MY-
-EVER-LOVIN-MIND!!!! " the ouji nearly exploded.
Bulma's eyes bulged out of her head, " Well....that must've been held up in there for a while. "
Vegeta let out a huge sigh, " Yes, it's been a very trying day. "
" How's, uh, Goku? "
" Which one? The one who WANTS to be my oujo or the one who THINKS he is and might possibly BE. " Vegeta said with
utmost sarcasm in his voice.
" ...what? "
" THE KAKARROTTO THAT'S HERE IS THE ONE FROM THE FUTURE!! He switched places with OUR Kakarrotto when he took him out
to the ship! " Vegeta exclaimed.
" You're kidding?! " Bulma gawked.
" I knew there was something wrong with Son-kun. " Mirai poked his head in the room.
" So he's NOT Goten's Toussan? " chibi Trunks said, entering the room also.
" NO! " Vegeta snapped.
" *whew*! Haha, that's a relief. I thought it was some passed down mental disorder that Goten was gonna get. " chibi
Trunks grinned, " I don't know where I'd find another sidekick! "
" Are you sure this is the future Goku from yesterday and not just regular Goku suffering from some type of shock? "
Bulma said suspicously, " I mean, it's not like Son to plot such things. He can barely plot a map, not to even mention
plotting an "evil scheme". Besides, that's your forté. "
" Yes. Well it appears that my sneaky evil mannerisms seem to rub off on those around me when living with them for
extended periods of time. " Vegeta snickered.
" Does that mean it's oh-kay for me and Goten to build a fort made out of green jello and position it in the backyard
so we can lob water balloons at passersby from inside it? " Trunks said happily.
" Yeah sure, lob away. " the ouji shooed him off while smirking.
" VEGETA!! " Bulma snapped.
" What? " the smaller saiyajin looked at her cluelessly.
" When did Goten get here anyway? " Mirai asked.
" I have no idea. " Bulma groaned.
" It's a genetic kaka-disorder. Anyone with kaka-genes can automatically appear out of nowhere to scare the crap out
of you. " Vegeta concluded, nodding thoughtfully.
" YOU HAVE NO POSITION TO TALK! " Bulma snapped at him, " Now what's this about Goku and future Goku swapping? "
Vegeta walked over to the couch and sat down, for fear that he'd either throw up or pass out from re-telling it a
third time, " When my future self came here along with Kakarrotto's future self yesterday, future Kakarrotto was ecstatic to
be reunited with the rest of you bakas whom he watched many many decades ago die from old age in horrible deaths. He missed
all of us so much; including my present self whom he apparently finds "enticing", " the ouji twitched, " ; that he decided to
bring present Kakarrotto onboard and switch their clothes, then leave him in the ship while future Kakarrotto came back here
so he could be with all of us. "
" So he had good intentions, but even so was blinded by missing us so much that he didn't realize he was doing
something wrong. " Bulma frowned in pity.
" Well, for the most part. I still don't know if present Kakarrotto went along with him or somehow became the victim;
his older self could easily have knocked him unconsious or trapped him somewhere in the ship. " Vegeta continued, " I first
knew something was wrong when Kakarrotto began to act substantionally mushier towards me than usual. "
" Is it just me or does he only use the really big words of his vocabulary when he's in "detective" mode. " Mirai
muttered to Bulma, who nodded.
" It's good for his brused ego, let him go. " she sighed while Vegeta continued to rabble on.
" --and I mean, how would YOU feel if you woke up in your bed to find your fairly large peasant laying next to you
and holding onto you for dear life while giggling about you in his sleep!? It's a DISTURBING SIGHT, Bulma!! "
" Hmm? " she looked back over at Vegeta, who then narrowed his eyes at her.
" You weren't listening to a word I said just now, where you? " he said, annoyed.
" OH, no of course we were listening, weren't we Mirai! " Bulma laughed nervously, then elbowed her son from the
future of the alternate timeline.
" Hahaha, yeah. Something about you sleeping with Goku-san? "
" I WASN'T SLEEPING WITH KAKARROT!!!! " Vegeta screamed angrily with his face flushed red, " I WENT TO SLEEP BY
MYSELF AND HE SNUCK INTO MY ROOM AND GOT IN BED WITH ME WHILE I WAS STILL ASLEEP!!! "
" Why? " Mirai asked.
Vegeta covered his face with his hand, " I don't know, Mirai. Future Kakarrotto's even harder to figure out than the
present one! " he said tiredly, " Personally I fear whatever is happening to present Kakarrotto at the moment is an even more
pressing issue to me now than the future one's presence here. He's been with my future "kaka-lovin" self for almost a DAY
now!! " the ouji's face paled with panic, " Who KNOWS what he's shown or done with Kakarrotto! Kaka-chan could be just as bad
with the mush on me as his future self is now!!! " Vegeta wailed with fright, " I DON'T WANT KAKARROTTO TO END UP AS MY OUJO!
!!! "
" Well, maybe there's another way. " Bulma spoke up.
" DON'T YOU GET IT! THERE _IS_ NO "OTHER WAY"!!! " the ouji bawled, slamming his fists against the wall and turning
to face it, " Kakarrotto won't be happy until he's wearing a crown just as big as mine with one of those big long flowing
capes and that baka oujo gown!!! "
" Vegeta, I don't think Goku wants to be your "oujo" for romantic reasons, he just wants to feel equal to you. "
Bulma smiled.
Vegeta glared at her, " Say what? "
" Goku---you've been treating him like a peasant since you first met him! "
" That's because he IS a peasant. Kakarrotto's a third-class ranking warrior. Before they worked at the castle
Bardock and Celipa were for the most part, poor. " Vegeta groaned, " And why would Kakarrotto feel he isn't equal to me! He's
STRONGER than me--for the moment--anyway. "
" But the point I'm making doesn't have to do with how strong he is! If you were to promote him up to 2nd or 1st
class maybe Goku wouldn't be so dead-on wanting to be your oujo. "
" You want me to PROMOTE Kakarrotto's rank? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow.
" Yes! You could do that, couldn't you Vegeta? " Bulma said, " After all, you are the ouji. "
" Mom's got a good point, Toussan. " Mirai said, impressed with Bulma's idea.
" Wait, so you're saying this whole "Kakarroujo" thing has to with Kakarrotto's EGO!? " Vegeta gawked, " HE _HAS_ NO
EGO!!! HE'S KAKARROTTO-- "
" --and he's got feelings too, Vegeta. " Bulma folded her arms, " I mean, he really likes you.. "
" ..yes, that's apparent. " Vegeta said flatly as he gazed off in the direction he had left future Goku.
" ..although I'm not quite sure WHY he likes you, he does. "
Vegeta sweatdropped.
" I'm pretty sure that if you were to push Goku's "rank" up to first-class the majority of the "oujo" stuff would
stop because he'd feel more like you truely respect and care for him. " Bulma concluded.
" I _DO_ "RESPECT AND CARE FOR" THE BIG BAKA! THERE WAS A WHOLE STINKIN EPISODE DEDICATED TO IT!!! " Vegeta shouted,
then folded his arms in a stubborn fashion and looked away.
" Toussan, would it really be that bad for you to make Goku-san a first-class? I mean, he'd still be a peasant, just
a FIRST-CLASS peasant this time. You rule over everybody who isn't part of the royal family so you'd still have your control,
whatever that is. " Mirai added.
Vegeta glanced over at them, " And you're sure this'll get him off that "oujo" kick for good? "
" Vegeta, I'm Goku's oldest friend, I know him by now. " Bulma re-assured him.
Vegeta grunted, " Fine. I shall promote Kakarrotto from third to first once we bring him safely back to the time
period. "
" HOORAY! " they cheered.
" I knew you could do it, "Veggie". " Bulma teased the ouji and grabbed onto his cheek. A vein bulged on Vegeta's
forehead, " Now let's go give future Goku that "checkup" and find out whatever it is you want to see. " she said, leaving the
room, then stuck her head back in it again, " What IS IT that you want to check for, anyway? " Bulma cocked her head.
" My future self's teeth-marks. " Vegeta said flatly.
" ... " Bulma stared back at him, confused, " ...oh. Well, let's go! "
/dl
" OOF!!! " present Goku let out a noise as he hit the floor of the gravity room in the spaceship; which was indeed
obscenely larger then normal like the rest of the item's in the ship. The saiyajin had personally never been in training this
intense before. The gravity was at a good 1400, more than twice the maximum present Vegeta trained in. The future version of
the ouji himself was strong enough to take down 3 or 4 gokus at once.
" BWAHAHA! Come on Kakarrotto, are you going to stay down there all day or are you coming back up here to fight me! "
the ssj3 ouji laughed as he floated through the air with unbelievable ease. Goku, also in ssj3, sat up panting.
" It's not like I'm not trying to! " he grunted in pain, then slowly got back on his feet and prepared to fire a ki
blast at the ouji, " KA.........MEH...........HA..... "
" Hahaha, silly Kakay-chan, you know I can anticipate your every move. " future Vegeta brushed it off.
" ....MEH......HAAAAAAAAAA!!!! " the larger saiyajin let loose the blast and the smaller one easily dodged it. Goku
growled and turned his blast around, following the ouji around in a circle hovering overhead him. Vegeta suddenly took a
nose-dive and flew right past Goku, nearly skimming him. Goku yelped as his own blast came near him and he lept to the ground
, which, due to the high gravity, got him down intime to miss being hit. The blast hurtled into the door and exploded in upon
the two saiyajins. Smoke enveloped the room and when it cleared the duo were both now flat on the floor, covered in soot.
" *Damage to door, gravitational settings manual over-ride. Preparing to shutdown*. " a computerized voice similar to
the female one on present Vegeta's gravity machine announced in a slightly robotic tone. The room's red lights faded back to
white and the machine shutdown.
" *WHEW*! Kakarrotto are you feeling alright today?! You were completely off! " future Vegeta said, sitting up and
worried.
Goku lay on his back, his bottom left eyelid twitching and a big smile appearing on his face, " ... "
" Kaka-muffin? " the little ouji said with even more concern in his voice as he walked over to Goku.
" Veggie......? " Goku squeaked out.
" Hai Kakay? "
" ....that...had to be......THE MOST AMAZING SPARRING MATCH EVER!!! " Goku squealed wildly with excitement as he
jumped to his feet, " OH MAN! VEGGIE AND THE SSJ3 AND THEN THE *WHOOSH* AND THEN THE *BANG* AND THE *PUNCH* AND THE *KICK*
AND THE *ZAAAAP* AND THE *OH-NO!* AND IT WAS THE MOST FUN I'VE EVER SPARRED WITH LITTLE VEGGIES BEFORE!!! " he exclaimed,
trying to collect all his thoughts.
Vegeta stared at him incrediously, " But, you LOST-- "
" --and that's GREAT! " Goku grabbed the smaller saiyajin's hands, still grinning like a madman, " Who knew we could
get so powerful! I've never seen anything like what you did just now! Not even back with Majin Buu! OH VEGGIE! " he squeezed
a very confused Vegeta tightly, " Do you have any idea how much this gives me to aspire to! One day I'm going to get strong
enough to give you a fair fight, future Veggie! And when I do I want you to give me your all just like you did today! "
" .... " future Vegeta stared up at him blankly, " What, are, you, talking about? "
" OH! " Goku suddenly gasped when he realized he just nearly blew his cover, " Oh, nothing little Veggie. Nothing at
all, " he let go of Vegeta's hands, " I'm feeling perfectly fine, my brain's just a little dizzy from all that gravity this
early in the morning. "
Future Vegeta chuckled warmly, " Well you should've eaten slower then, you know what the gravity does to your stomach
, Kakay. " Goku smiled back at him, " Say Kakarrotto, how about we just take it down a notch, 'hmm? "
" Yeah little Veggie that sounds great! " Goku chirped.
" Alright. " Vegeta nodded, then went back to normal only to let out a yell and power up again. Goku's eyes widened
in fright and confusion as a blast of ki covered the smaller saiyajin, then wisped away above him, " Well, Kakay? " he
smirked.
" WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!!! " Goku shouted. Future Vegeta fell over.
" Something IS wrong with your brain today, isn't it, Kakarrotto? " the ouji's tail twitched. Goku stared at the
little saiyajin who had suddenly become much fuzzier than usual. Goku grabbed Vegeta's arm and started petting the fur.
" Heehee, Veggie feels like a little puppy! Or a kitty! " the larger saiyajin said with glee. Future Vegeta was
tempted to pull his arm away, but allowed Goku to continue petting him.
" THIS, Kakarrotto, is a compact oozaru form, created by controlling all powers within full oozaru form and holding
them together tightly enough to retain your normal size yet with all the power of your body as a normal oozaru. " Vegeta
explained proudly.
" Furry Veggies.... " Goku giggled musingly, now petting the smaller saiyajin's back, " Is this a form you cuddle
Veggies in cuz you look like a lil plush toy you'd win at the boardwalk! " Goku said, very entertained.
" It's not for "cuddling", Kakarrotto! It's used only by the saiyajins with the most mental control over themselves
and their actions in oozaru form incase they only need the power, not the size of an oozaru. I suppose you could call this
a super saiyajin 4, but it's not related in any way to the other three. Any saiyajin with enough patience can perform it, you
don't even have to be a super saiyajin 1 like you or I to do it. We use it to spar whenever we don't want to end up
completely exhausted by the end of the session. " future Vegeta explained, " Actually I guess you could even count this as
the 5 alternate saiyajin form if you count normal oozaru, but I like to stick with ssj4 and/or "compact oozaru". Not as
strong as ssj3, but strong within the amount of odd techniques one can perform while in it. "
" Furry Veggies.... " Goku continued, giggling again, " Warm furry Veggies.....where did your clothes go and how did
the uncomfortable black pants and lil Veggie-shoes appear on you? "
" For the life of me, Kakarrotto, I have no idea. But it's better than fighting in the nude like this. " Vegeta
nodded.
" But normal oozarus don't have black pants. " Goku pondered, confused, " ...are Veggie's legs all covered in furry
red Veggie-fur too? " Goku bent down on the ground and pulled up part of future Vegeta's pantleg, " WOW! I was right! You
look like some little furry animal plushie! THAT'S SO KAWAII!!! " he hugged the ouji tightly, " I can't lookit you without
wanting to go buy you a bunch of cute lil pet toys!!! And, and maybe some of those soft fuzzy sweaters I've seen really
little dogs being walked in! "
" We're in deep space, Kakarrot, there's no "pet-toy-stores here... " future Vegeta squeaked out under the
stranglehold, " ...and what about our fight! " he protested, " Are you going to transform too or not! "
" Huh? " Goku paused from grinning psychotically and petting Vegeta.
" Will you put me down and go compact oozaru so we can get on with the match! " Vegeta twitched. Goku froze, then set
Vegeta down.
" T--transform? " the larger saiyajin paled.
" Yes, you want to be on the same level when we continue sparring don't you? " future Vegeta folded his arms.
" ... ::Oh no! When future Veggie finds out I have no idea how to turn into a fuzzy, pet-like version of myself he'll
know for sure about the switch and just hate me for it! I don't want him to hate me! He's so sweet and giving and kind to me
in ways present Veggie has yet to develop or even learn about! I can't break his little future heart, and look how fuzzy he
is!!!:: " Goku wailed inside his brain as he stared down at the furry ouji, ::He just makes me wanna get him his own little
collar with his name on it and each him how to play fetch and feed him Veggie-biscuits as rewards!!:: the larger saiyajin
stared at the smaller one sympathetically, " Umm, Veggie, I, I can't. "
" What? " future Vegeta said suspiciously.
" I can't because, uhhh, my gi's itchy! " Goku grinned cheesily, scratching a fake itch on his shoulder. He looked
down at the navy blue colored gi he was wearing with a large symbol of the royal house of Bejito-sei on the back of the gi
shirt.
Future Vegeta frowned and powered back down to normal, causing his body's fuzzyness to disappear and be replaced
magically by his normal gi again, " My poor Kaka-chan, there's obviously something wrong with you. " he sniffled, hugging
onto Goku's waist, " You're not coming down with something are you? " the ouji put his hand on Goku's forehead, " Oh Kakay
you're in no condition to spar like this, I'll--I'll take you somewhere comfortable...your room. We'll go back to your room
and I'll help you change out of your gi and into something even more comfortable, I can even take you to the garden if you'd
like! " he pleaded, then smirked, " Hai, just you and me in our lush, beautiful little garden, you'll be feeling better in no
time, my Kaka-angel. "
" ...uhhhh... " Goku felt his eyelid twitch as he pulled back his arms and silently pushed the ouji away from him
with all his might, sending future Vegeta crashing into the gravity room wall, " I'll-be-going-now. " Goku said quickly as
he walked over to the door with his face a bright pink and pressed the open button on the door, causing it to slide up. The
large saiyajin then walked out of the room, only to poke his head inside again, " F--f--future Veh-veh-geeeee? " he stammered
, nerve-shot.
" Hai, Kaka-muffin? " the ouji said smoothly.
" Which direction is my room in? " Goku squeaked out.
Future Vegeta walked towards Goku, " Oh I can lead the way there for you, Kakay, no need to worry your beautiful
head over i--- "
" --oh look, I think I see it that way. " Goku said in a wooden tone of voice, " BYE-VEGGIE! " he exclaimed, then
zipped off.
The ouji smirked, then pleasantly left the room as well, " Heh-heh-heh.... "
/dl
" *SPLAT*!! "
" Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh.... " chibi Trunks chuckled evilly as he and Goten peered over the side of their green
jello fort at a now-soaked heavyset woman who was walking down the street.
" YOU JUVENILE DELINQUENTS!! " she shook her fist at them and stopped off.
" Hahaha fat people look funny when they're wet, Trunks! " Goten grinned.
" That's gotta be the 24th person we've nailed today. " Trunks said, proud of himself, " Hey Goten, how many water
balloons do we have left? " he called over to Goten, who hopped down from the jello steps and ran across to the other side of
the fort.
" Uhh, I dunno Trunks. Only 5 or 6. " Goten frowned.
" Aw crap! And I was just getting into this and now we need to go make some more balloons again! " Trunks threw his
arms in the air, " Oh well. Say Goten, why don't we just lob the rest at the next unsuspecting pedestrian? That way we'll
round it off at 25 for the next round. "
" Hmm? Oh-kay! " Goten chirped, then picked up all the remaining waterballoons at once and waddled over to his friend
, " I dunno, can we through this many at once? "
" Yeah, you take 3 and I'll take 3. " Trunks said, grabbing some of the balloons in Goten's hands.
" HEY! You took the bigger ones! " the smaller chibi complained.
" Heh, well if you wanted these then you SHOULD'VE chosen them before you got over here. " Trunks smirked. Goten
glared stubbornly at him.
" You're so unfair, Trunks! " he complained.
" If it wasn't for me we wouldn't have the fort or the waterballoons in the first place, so be quiet. " Trunks
grumbled, " LOOK! Someone's coming! AIM! " both boys held their water baloons back, " FIRE!!!! " Trunks shouted. Six water
balloons were suddenly heaved over the fort, all aimed at the same spot on the sidewalk. Both boys ducked, snickering as they
heard the sound of something screaming in surprise from being drenched in water.
" Heeheehee, that was fun! " Goten grinned widely.
" What're you talking about, it's ALWAYS fun. " Trunks added, also grinning. Both peeked slightly over the fort to
get a view of their victim and nearly choked at the sight of who it was.
" GOTEN!!! "
" AHH! It's my Mom!! " all the blood ran out of Goten's face as he ducked back under.
" Ooh, you're gonna be in trouble! " Trunks smirked, laughing at him.
" THIS WAS YOUR IDEA TO THROW WATER BALLOONS AT PEOPLE, TRUNKS!! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!! Now she's gonna be mad at me
and she's scary when she's mad!!! " Goten panicked, tears welling up in his eyes.
" No scarier than my dad, that's for sure. " Trunks rolled his eyes, then whinced to see Chi-Chi angrily looming over
them.
" TRUUUUUUUUUUNKS!!!!! " she roared.
" Yes-ma'am! " he squeaked out.
" WHERE IS MY GOKU!!! "
" Which one? " Trunks asked, petrified.
" Whadda you MEAN, which one! THE ONE I LIVE WITH, YOU CHIBI HALF-OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi screamed, enraged.
" Uncle Veggie says he's up in space with his future self. " Goten added, trying to get the subject off them
drenching Chi-Chi in water balloons.
" What?.... " Chi-Chi looked baffled, letting the chibis breathe a sigh of relief.
" Umm, you see Chi-Chi-san, Toussan, he-- "
" Just tell me where the Ouji is. " Chi-Chi groaned, " I'm sure wherever he is that Goku is obviously nearby and once
I catch them I am going to pound the ouji into dust and Go-chan will be forced to stay in his room for the next month...with
the exception of when he as to go to the bathroom because I'm not letting him pee out the window and onto my flowerbed like
the last time I grounded him. " she explained.
" I think Toussan's down with Kaasan in her lab. " Trunks offered.
Chi-Chi smiled, " Why thank you boys. " she nodded, then pleasantly walked off.
" You think she's still sore at us? " Goten asked his slightly taller friend.
" I dunno. " Trunks shrugged, " She seems oh-kay now. "
" --AND DON'T THINK I'M GOING TO FORGET ABOUT THAT PRANK YOU JUST PULLED!! " Chi-Chi yelled from the backdoor porch.
Both demi-saiyajins sweatdropped.
" I guess not... "
/dl
" HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME!!! I'M BEING HELD CAPTIVE AGAINST MY WILL!!! " future Goku cried out, standing up on a
platform in Bulma's lab, cuffs around his wrists and ankles attached to the bottom of the platform and a smaller platform
above his head. The saiyajin was still in his pajama bottoms and undershirt.
" Oh shuddup, future Kakarrotto! " Vegeta said, annoyed.
" Vegeta calm down. " Bulma sweatdropped, " I'm sorry we had to do this to you, Son-kun. I'm just giving you a
checkup though, no needles or anything like that. "
" That and I need to find out if you are a TRUE oujo or not so I know whether I have to promote Kakarrotto to 1st
class or only push him up to 2nd to save me from that disgusting supposed fate! " Vegeta added.
" BUT YOU CAN'T DO THAT!! " future Goku yelped.
" Of course I can! " Vegeta smirked and folded his arms, " I am the great and powerful saiyajin no ouji! And Bulma is
the great and powerful scientist kinda/sorta/half-oujo. "
" "Kinda/sorta/half.."? " Bulma sweatdropped.
" Well, you're not a real oujo. I can't help that. " Vegeta shrugged, " First of all, our bloodtypes are incompatible
and like you said several stoires ago if I were to get any of your B blood into my O system I would DIE. Second, you're not
a saiyajin and not nearly powerful enough to survive the final phases of the saiyajin mating ritural. " he explained, then
turned towards Goku, " Kakarrotto, *twitch-of-disgust* on the other hand, is more than powerful enough to make it through
with barely breaking a sweat! Which is why I intend to find out just how berserk my future counterpart went over you and if
he truely dumped a butt-load of a kaka-curse on himself. " Vegeta grabbed the large saiyajin's undershirt and tugged at it,
" You know, future Kakarrotto, " he smirked, looking up at the saiyajin, " You could partly redeem yourself now and tell me
if you are or are not a legal saiyajin no oujo. OR you could just make me find out on my own. "
" What if I'm not a legal oujo? " future Goku squeaked out.
" Then I reveal in your ability to scare the living crap out of me and let you go free. " Vegeta nodded.
" What if I AM? "
" Then I'll have to kill you before I have a heart attack and die myself. "
Future Goku gulped.
" Well, what's it going to be? " Vegeta smirked, " Are you going to tell me the truth or not. " he smiled evilly at
the larger saiyajin.
Future Goku's eyes watered and the large saiyajin nearly burst into tears.
" Vegeta now look at what you're doing to him! " Bulma scholded the ouji. Vegeta glanced over at the bawling Goku and
fell over.
" What happened to him!! " Vegeta sweatdropped.
" He's not used to you VERBALLY ABUSING him and THREATENING HIM WITH HIS LIFE, _VEGETA_!!! " Bulma yelled, annoyed,
" Future you is much different than your present self! " she said, calmer.
" Oh, you can say THAT, alright. " Vegeta rolled his eyes.
" I'm SERIOUS, Vegeta. Future you and future Goku are like this! " Bulma hooked her two pointer fingers together to
demonstrate.
" Oh GOD let's hope they're NOT like THAT! " Vegeta turned a pale green. Bulma looked down at her fingers and pulled
them away, laughing nervously.
" You know what I meant! " she continued to chuckle.
" So what do you want ME to do about it? Go over there and "apologize"? Yeah, I'm sure that'll get him to calm down!"
Vegeta said sarcastically.
" Just go be nice to him, Veggie-kun. Future you is much gentler with Goku-san than you are with the present one. "
Bulma said, " Console him or something. "
" You mean you want me to mush it up with him for a little while inorder to get him to take the undershirt off
instead of point a needle at his heart. " Vegeta sighed.
" Yes. Exactly! " Bulma replied.
" Alright, I'll do it. I'll go play mushy-land with future Kakarrotto for a couple minutes. " Vegeta groaned, then
walked over to the larger saiyajin, who by this point had tears streaming down his cheeks, he looked down at at slightly
uncomfortable-looking ouji.
" V-sama doesn't love me anymore! " future Goku choked out, sobbing loudly while pain thumped through his chest,
" V-sama said he'd always love me! How could you yell at me like that. You know I don't like it when you yell! " he wailed,
" Why doesn't V-sama still love me! WHAT DID I DO WRONG!!! "
" You, didn't do anything wrong. " present Vegeta said from on the floor. He grabbed a tissue and floated up to hand
it to future Goku, " Here, wipe your nose, you'll feel better and you won't be so ept to spread your kaka-germs. " the ouji
looked away embarassingly as he handed the tissue over, then glanced back at future Goku, who was still crying, " WELL!? "
" V-sama, I can't reach my nose. " future Goku sweatdropped. Vegeta twitched.
" What do you want ME to do about it?! " he exclaimed, then noticed Bulma giggling at him. Vegeta teleported infront
of her, " You want me to wipe his nose like he's a big baby, don't you? "
" That's what future you would do. " Bulma smirked, " You want to find out if future Goku is your "oujo" or not,
don't you? "
Vegeta growled, then silently cursed to himself as he teleported back up to future Goku and snatched the tissue from
his hand, ::I can't believe I'm wiping his nose!:: Vegeta mentally screamed inside his head, then wiped the larger saiyajin's
nose while trying his best not to look sickened, " There, feeling any better? " Vegeta gritted his teeth.
" ... "
Vegeta looked back at the larger saiyajin to see him staring back at the ouji with a big dopey grin and a lovesick
look on his face. The ouji face-faulted, " Eh... "
" Oh ~*V-sama*~, you're so ~*wonderful*~.... " future Goku sighed dreamily at him.
" How can he change moods so quickly... " Vegeta blinked in shock, then slapped future Goku across the face, " WILL
YOU CUT THAT OUT!! STOP LOOKIN AT ME LIKE I'M AN ONNA!! *hmmph*! " the ouji shouted, his face bright red. Pain jabbed the
larger saiyajin in the heart again and he felt more tears rise to the surface. Vegeta sweatdropped, " NO NO NO! I didn't
mean it that way, future Kakarrotto!! I just don't like you looking off in my direction as if you're madly in love with
whatever you're staring at!! "
Future Goku's tears slowed to a sniffle.
" Listen, future Kakarrotto, what does future me call you when you're "hurting"? " the ouji offered, trying to calm
him down further.
" V-sama calls me his little Kaka-muffin when I'm sad. " future Goku gave a small smile.
Vegeta nearly fell over, " HIS "KAKA-MUFFIN"!!! " he exclaimed, " Present Kakarrotto must be having a grand 'ol time
up THERE right now. " he muttered dryly.
" No, his "LITTLE Kaka-muffin", not just plain "Kaka-muffin". " future Goku corrected him.
" Hai, how COULD I have screwed THAT up. " Vegeta flatly remarked, getting up, " My "kaka-muffin". BLEH! " he stuck
his tongue out, " Future me must just "adore" you to nickname you after his and my favorite accompaniment to the pancake. "
" Oh, we're very close. " future Goku's cheeks turned pink, " Since V-sama calls me his "little Kaka-muffin"
sometimes I call him my "little Veggie-cakes". "
Vegeta's shoulders slumped to their sides. He grabbed a nearby needle and handed it to Bulma, " Here. Kill me,
please. "
" Vegeta! " she said, annoyed, then chuckled, " What's so wrong with "kaka-muffin" and "veggie-cakes"? " Bulma
laughed.
" You have no idea. " Vegeta said in a low, dangerous tone, then turned back to future Goku and mustered up all the
nice-ness he could manage at the moment, " Say, my "little Kaka-muffin", could you be a sweet lil "oujo" and do your
"Veggie-cakes" a favor, eh? "
Future Goku nodded eagerly w/big sparkily eyes, " Hai V-sama! "
" Take that shirt off for me, huh Kakay? " Vegeta grinned cheesily.
" Oh V-sama I don't know if I should. " the larger saiyajin said coyly.
" Well I'll reward you with something delicious to eat if you allow "V-sama" to take one, little, peek. Hmm? How
'bout it? " Vegeta said sneakly.
" Well....alright, for you V-sama. " future Goku giggled. The ouji released the device holding future Goku's hands
up. The large saiyajin reached for his undershirt and began to pull it up. Vegeta waited in nervous anticipation.
" OOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUU-JIIIIIIIIII!!!!!! " a scream roared from the stairs.
" KUSO! " Vegeta snapped angrily, stomping his foot into the ground, " KAKARROTTO JUST TAKE THE BAKA UNDERSHIRT
OFF!! "
" Oh V-sama what is that! " the larger saiyajin looked terrified and clutched at his undershirt in fear.
" It's only Onna, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta groaned.
" Chi-chan? WOW I forgot how loud she can scream! " future Goku smiled, then watched as Chi-Chi stomped down the
stairs swinging around what looked like a very large, heavy club. She walked over to Vegeta and stared him down.
" OUJI... "
" Onna. " Vegeta smirked, boastful yet slightly annoyed that she had interupted just as he was about to discover the
truth to whether or not future Goku was his future self's oujo.
" First of all, as a parent, I'd like to tell you your son along with my younger son chucked a good 6 balloons at
me while I was walking down the street. "
" Really? " Vegeta narrowed his eyes, then yelled up the stairs, " TORUNKUSU!!! " he shouted. The two chibis in
the kitchen near the steps froze, " PUT YOUR WATER BALLOONS AWAY! AS SOON AS I GET ONNA OUT OF HERE, YOU, ME, AND THE
CHIBI KAKA-SPAWN #2 ARE GOING OUT FOR ICE CREAM!! "
The two chibis grinned, " HOORAY!! " they cheered and gathered up their newest water balloons to throw them in a
nearby hideout (the hallway closet).
" You're CONGRADULATING them?! " Chi-Chi gawked incrediously.
" Somehow I'm not surprised. " Bulma said sarcastically, looking over at the grinning ouji.
" They both decked Onna in water balloons, and one of them was her own child! Of course they deserve a prize for
that! " Vegeta grinned.
" V-sama has such silly logic. " future Goku smiled warmly at the ouji.
" Why thank you, Kaka-chan! " Vegeta did a little courtesy bow, causing the larger saiyajin to giggle with delight.
" Oh brother! " Chi-Chi groaned, " AND YOU DON'T CALL HIM "V-SAMA"! HE DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE A "SAMA" ANYTHING! "
" That's where you are wrong, Chi-chan. V-sama has done such wonderful things for me. He's so sweet under all that
sour. Sometimes we sit up late at night can watch the stars together... " future Goku mused, " Then V-sama hugs me and
says "of all the stars out there Kakay, you're the brightest one of all". " he sighed dreamily.
Vegeta promptly threw up.
" Oh GOD, and all over my toolbox! " Bulma looked disgusted.
Chi-Chi only glared at both saiyajins, " Alright, that's it. You're coming back home with me, Goku. " she kicked the
device holding his feet, which then shut off. Chi-Chi grabbed him by the arm and dragged future Goku up the stairs.
" But--but Chi-chan! You don't understand, V-sama, he--- "
" Oh I understand plenty! Now let's GO! "
" Vegeta, Vegeta we have to go after them! " Bulma whispered loudly, " We can't have Chi-Chi find out the wrong Goku
is here, she'll flip! And then she'll kill BOTH OF US!! "
" Onna's only strong enough to kill you, I'll probably be mildly injured. " Vegeta commented, wiping the barf from
his face.
" WELL YOU'RE NOT GONNA LET HER KILL ME, ARE YOU!! " Bulma snapped.
" Of course not. " Vegeta stood up, " And if she does then I will destroy her and she will die a frighteningly
gruesome death, and then I'll wish you back to life in October when the dragonballs are functional again. " he nodded
thoughtfully.
" You won't have to BECAUSE I'M NOT LETTING MYSELF GET KILLED!!! Now let's go stop them! " Bulma ran over to the
stairs, then up them.
Vegeta sighed, " Why does this sort of thing always happen to ME! "
/dl
" *WHEW*! Finally! " present Goku flopped onto the large bed in his future self's room. It had taken the saiyajin a
good 15 minutes just to find where it was due to the immense size and vast amount of rooms in the spaceship, " I don't get
why future Veggie needed to make this place so big! There's only 2 of us! Before Gohan was born, Chi-chan and I did just
fine living in our lil mountain house. At least we could easily find the bathroom! " he sighed, then looked down at his
blue gi, " I think this has to be the only NORMAL piece of clothing future me owns. Maybe I'll just go tell future Veggie
the "itch" stopped so he doesn't come back here and I have to dress up in some frilly gettup again. " the large saiyajin's
face flushed pink with embarassment, " If it wasn't just future Veggie and me I'd feel even sillier wearing that stuff.
Bura must've picked most of it out, or designed it....I wonder what she ended up doing if Trunks got to run Capsule Corp?..
....she WAS the last one of the gang to die off so I guess she must've influenced little Veggie's mind a lot before she went
and Veggie and I had no one left to talk to. "
" You know I'll always be here when you need someone to talk to, Kakay. " a warm voice came from behind him.
Goku twitched and looked over his shoulder to see future Vegeta snuggled behind him, also still wearing his gi.
" AHHH!! " Goku shrieked, spun around, and backed up; falling off the bed and crashing into the floor, " FUTURE
VEGGIE STOP THAT!!! " he screamed nervously.
" I don't see why you're so alarmed, Kakay. Even as far back as the my past self who we visited could teleport. "
the ouji blinked.
" Well--TELL ME WHEN YOU DO IT NEXT TIME, OH-KAY! " Goku exclaimed. The smaller saiyajin only chuckled, then hopped
down off the bed and walked past him, " Hey, where're you going? "
" To your closet, we have to get you changed out of that itchy gi, don't we? " the ouji smiled coyly, causing all the
blood to drain out of Goku's face.
" Nuh--no future Veggie, really, that's alright. The itch--it's stopped, see? It's all gone. Ha ha ha ha ha. " he
laughed nervously.
Future Vegeta ignored Goku and busily looked through the dozens of hangers-full of clothes, tossing out ones he
didn't care for over his shoulder and into a pile. Goku walked over to the future ouji and sat down next to the pile. He
looked over at it and sweatdropped to how big it had gotten.
" Umm, future Veggie---? "
" MMmmmmMMMMmmmm, isn't this a beautiful jacket, Kakay-chan. " the ouji sighed dreamily as he rubbed the jacket up
against his cheek, " You'll look so parinkahh! "
Goku's brain fizzled on the last word, " "parinkahh"? "
" Hai, it's saiyago for a word that doesn't exist in english, it's somewhat similar to "gorgeous". " future Vegeta
thought outloud.
" "Gorgeous"? " Goku turned a slight pale green, " Future Veggie, maybe YOU should go lie down somewher-- "
" --try it on Kaka-muffin! " the ouji eagerly held it out to Goku, who twitched at the long, partly see-through-able
light pink jacket with the large fuzzy rings around the ends of the sleeves and one around the collar.
" Err....maybe later. " Goku laughed nervously.
Future Vegeta blinked for a moment, then cheerfully handed it to Goku and went back to search through the clothes,
" I know there's an outfit that goes along with that thing somewhere... " future Vegeta felt his temper grow slightly with
frustration at not being able to find where the entire outfit was. Goku backed up, a large sweatdrop on the back of his
head as he watched the future ouji continue his search, " AH-HA!!! " future Vegeta grinned with victory, holding up a hat
and a soft-looking gown, " Here we go, Kaka--- "
" --INCOMING MESSAGE FROM PLANET 33240957. INCOMING MESSAGE FROM PLANET 33240957. " the computer's voice announced
over the intercom. Vegeta snorted in anger.
" HOW DARE SOMEONE INTERUPT MY DAY LIKE THIS! " he snapped, then paused, " Hey, planet 33240957 is Bejito-sei's
location! " future Vegeta blinked, then left the room, " I'll be right back, Kaka-angel. I promise! " he said sweetly,
then ducked out.
Goku looked upward, relieved, " Thank you... "
/dl
" Why the heck would Bejito-sei be calling me at this hour! " future Vegeta ranted, then pressed a button in the
control room and the middle of the 3 gigantic monitors switched on.
" GIVE ME BACK MY LITTLE BROTHER YOU NUT-JOB!!! " Raditsu yelled angrily from on-screen, the inside of one of
Bejito-sei's castle's halls behind him.
The ouji smirked, " Why Raditsu, I have no idea WHAT you are talking about. " he said innocently.
" Don't play dum with me! I know you have my brother with you! You're ripping off me and my parents by keeping him
out there! "
" HA! This from the same saiyajin who tried to KILL Kakarrotto oh-so-many years ago. " Vegeta snickered.
" YOU TRIED TO KILL HIM TOO! It's not fair to hold him in that ship like you're the only two saiyajins left in the
universe! Kakarrotto has a whole planet of us now! You're gonna brainwash him out there. " Raditsu's voice lowered, slightly
saddened, " Our parents don't even know he's still alive. THEY THINK HE GOT KILLED TOO MANY TIMES TO BRING BACK like you
told them! But I know different. Nappa and I grew up with you for YEARS. We both know how your little mind works! " he
hovered his finger around in a circle by his head to indicate the ouji's craziness.
" Hey Raditsu who you talking to? " Nappa came on-screen behind him, " The King'll get mad if we're not at our posts,
we have to protect the castle, it's our job. "
" VEGETA'S HOLDING KAKARROTTO HOSTAGE ON US!!! " Raditsu complained.
" No, Vegeta told me this Cell guy killed Kakarrotto and he couldn't be wished ba-- "
" --well he is! There's two freakin towels behind him with his and Kakarrotto's names on 'um! " Raditsu pointed at
the monitor. Vegeta glanced over his shoulder at the towels, then grabbed future Goku's and tossed it out of view, then
looked around while innocently whistling to himself.
" Kidnapper. " Raditsu spat.
" YOU kidnapped Kakarrotto's child when you got to Earth. " Vegeta rebutted.
" It was just to bring him onto our side, which in retrospect I wish I hadn't even TRIED! Besides I wasn't going to
KEEP him hostage like YOU'RE doing to MY ONLY SIBLING!! "
" Raditsu? " Goku poked his head in the doorway wearing the outfit Vegeta had given him, " IT IS RADITSU!! HAHAHA!
SOMEBODY ELSE HERE TO TALK TO BESIDES VEGGIE!!! " he squealed, zipping over nearby future Vegeta, who paled when he saw him,
" OH WOW! HI RADITSU!! I thought Piccolo killed us both! " Goku grinned stupidly.
" He did. All the saiyajins with the exception of Paragus and Brolli were brought back. " Raditsu explained.
" THAT'S SO AMAZING! Haha, future Veggie's been creeping me out ever since I got here and I'm such a pile of nerves
right now it's really unbelievable. " Goku laughed lightly.
" "Creeping you ou--" hey what the heck are you WEARING?! " Raditsu did a double-take.
" Umm, it was, future Veggie's idea. " Goku sweatdropped, embarassed, then looked away, " ....Raditsu? Am I really
Veggie's princess? "
" WHAT?! " the older saiyajin nearly had a heart-attack.
Future Vegeta laughed nervously, " Hahaha, silly Kaka'ums, always saying such silly things, haha. " he pushed Goku
out of the room, " Just wait for me in your room, Kakay, oh-kay? " the ouji smiled sweetly at his supposed "oujo".
" Uh, alright, but future Veggie I wanna talk to my bro--- "
" *SLAM*! " Vegeta slammed the door behind him, then walked back to the monitor, " You know guys, sometimes they say
the camera can play tricks on you. " he smiled cheesily.
" His OUJO!? " Raditsu said in disbelief as he stared off into nowhere, his eyes bulging out of their sockets and his
pupils amazingly small.
" Uhh, isn't Kakarrotto supposed to be dead? " Nappa was the most confused saiyajin of the group at the moment.
" His OUJO?! "
" Maybe he's a zombie or something-- "
" --OH SHUDDUP, NAPPA!! " future Vegeta snapped at him.
" His OUJO! Oh sweet Lord help me!! " Raditsu looked like he was ready to die right there, " WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PICK
ON SOMEBODY FROM _MY_ FAMILY!!! WHY WHY WHY!!! " he wailed.
" I'm not picking on Kakay. He is mine, and shall remain so till the end of time, which isn't anytime soon. " Vegeta
said stubbornly.
" HIS _NAME_ IS _KAKARROTTO_! Not "Kakay"!!! That's DISGUSTING, Vegeta. What a repulsive--did you even get a good
look at what you dressed him up in! " Raditsu ranted.
" Why yes, I did. And there's nothing you or anyone else on Bejito-sei can do about it! " the ouji smirked, " Because
when it comes right down to it, it's your word against mine, and I'm the prince of the entire planet and if I wanted to I
could have you thrown in the dungeon and put to death by the next morning! "
" But that's-- "
" --listen here I worked hard to get this far and I'm not going to let one of the people I had wished back ruin
everything Kakay and I have done all this time!! " the ouji narrowed his eyes. Raditsu looked mildly intimidated.
" I can understand that but can't you at least bring him back here, you know, to meet the rest of his family? I mean,
you're dressing him up in onna clothes and calling him pet names for crying out lou-- "
" --NO. "
" WHADDA YA MEAN NO! KAKARROTTO'S MY BROTHER!! "
" WELL KAKARROTTO'S _MY_ OUJO!!! " Vegeta yelled back.
" OH YEAH, YOU GET YOUR ROYAL BUTT OVER HERE AND YOU SAY THAT TO MY FAC---*BEEEEEEEP* "
Vegeta yanked out the connection cord.
" Oops, I think there's a bad line somewhere out there, Raditsu. Goodbye! " Vegeta said cheerfully, then got up and
walked out of the room, snickering evilly to himself.
" What did Raditsu want? " Goku asked curiously, looming over future Vegeta. The ouji laughed.
" Oh, he just wanted to wish us good luck on our little voyage, you know. Have a nice trip, that sort of thing. "
Vegeta brushed it off, still laughing lightly.
" He sounded pretty mad to me. " Goku said with uncertainty.
" Forget about it, Kaka-chan. " the ouji smiled warmly, " All that matters now is you and me and our beautiful
spaceship. " he walked past Goku, " Now let's head to the garden so you can relax. I can't have a stressful oujo on my
hands now can I! "
Goku peeked into the room, which now had tv snow on all the monitors. He closed the door and followed future Vegeta
down the hall, " No, I guess not. "
/dl
" BEHOLD!! THE GARDEN!!! " future Vegeta said proudly as he swung the door open to reveal what looked like the most
breathtaking plot of grass, land, and flowers on the face of the universe. Goku's jaw dropped to the ground, " Isn't it
AMAZING, Kaka-chan! " he exclaimed.
" Uhh, yeah. You know what future Veggie, I'm just gonna go sit right over here, oh-kay? " Goku said nervously,
plopping himself down on a nearby white bench.
" Ah, " the ouji walked up to the bench, " Future Kakay always enjoys that bench. It swings you know. " he smirked.
Goku looked down at the bench, then rocked it back and forth, " Hey! This is pretty ni--what'd-you-just-say? " he
pulled a double-take in the ouji's direction.
" That it swings? " future Vegeta said slyly.
" Before that. " Goku said flatly, narrowing his eyes suspiciously.
" That future Kakay really enjoys sitting on that bench. "
" That's what I thought. " Goku nodded quietly, then lept to his feet, " YOU MEAN YOU _KNEW_ ABOUT THE SWITCH!!! " he
yelped in shock.
" Hai. " Vegeta shrugged, amused.
" Buh---for whe---HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN!! "
" I'm not telling. " future Vegeta chuckled, confusing Goku immensely, " Come on, "past" Kakarrotto. You've been
calling me "Future Veggie" nearly the entire time you were here!!! That's practically a give-a-way. I'm not stupid you know."
he folded his arms, slightly insulted, " Besides your entire mannerisms are different and you're not nearly as sneakily
intellegent thanks to yours truely the way your future self is. "
" HEY! I am NOT stupid! " Goku threw the large fluttery hat on his head to the ground, " And if you knew you had the
wrong me the whole time then why did you make me play along with you like this!! "
" I didn't know the WHOLE time. " future Vegeta pointed out.
" Well for how long then! I think I deserve to know! " Goku pouted, folding his own arms.
" Well I think _I_ deserved to know about the switch in the first place, don't you think. " future Vegeta sat down
next to him on the bench, " Kakarrotto if you had told me from the start I wouldn't have needed to string you along after
discovering the truth for myself. " he said, then smiled goofily, " I thought 'buddies' were supposed to be able to tell each
other ANYTHING! "
Goku laughed a bit at the uncharacteristic grin on the ouji's face, which looked more simliar to his own smiles,
" Silly future Veggie! " he chirped, " I was gonna tell you in the beginning but, you were so much more, you know-- "
" --fun. "
" YES! You're a lot sweeter and sillier then present Veggie and I was having fun but then you started to get, well,
uhhh, " Goku fumbled for a word.
" --creepy. " the little ouji slid closer, causing Goku to slide away from him.
" Yes, creepy. " Goku said quickly.
" Mmmmm....heh-heh-heh-heee~~ " future Vegeta cocked his head with sneaky smile replacing the grin from before. Goku
sweatdropped. Vegeta sat back and instantly snapped out if it, " I suppose we should go switch you back now, huh Kaka-chan? "
" YEAH! Let's do it right now! " Goku said excitedly as future Vegeta got up, " Hey future Veggie? "
The ouji looked over at him.
" One more question. Why are you the way you are instead of like present Veggie is? " he frowned in confusion.
" Personally, past Kakarrotto, I lost a lot of people too. " future Vegeta smiled half-heartedly, " Well, actually
I didn't loose too many at all. Bulma, Mirai, Trunks, and Bura. That's only 4 people. And our fusion-babies are alive and
well. "
" That's good. " Goku nodded cheerfully at the thought that Gogeta and Vejitto still survived, " So, what're they up
to now. "
" They're on Bejito-sei too, working undercover as guards. " future Vegeta explained, " I can't just tell the whole
planet about our fusions and expect them to understand exactly how we made them & why they're as old as we are! "
" Future Veggie's got a point. "
" That, and I partially contribute my current personality to natural saiyajin aging processes. While we age slow and
live long, we're not exactly expected to make it this far without death in battle. We get sort of dependent as we grow older.
" Goku smiled at the ouji, " That and I blame whatever sanity I have lost after this entire 105 years to living around YOU
for too long. " future Vegeta added. Goku sweatdropped, " I PROBABLY have a kaka-DISEASE by now, not to mention the
kaka-germs that caused it! " he groaned, " They're most likely floating about inside this entire spaceship by now!! "
" Hee, now future Veggie is starting to sound like my old one! " Goku said happily.
" Uh-huh. " the future ouji said dryly, " I'm truely afraid to take a sample of my own dna for fear that it would be
not only overcrowded with kaka-germs but in addition those kaka-genes I ended up getting swapped thanks to that baka portara
fusion of yours. " a vein bulged on future Vegeta's forehead, " Now let's go spin this ship around and head back to earth,
it'll save time using the time machine once we're actually near the place in time I'll be dropping you off. " he left the
room.
" Where ARE you gonna drop me off, future little Veggie? " Goku giggled, happy that he was annoying to the ouji
again.
Future Vegeta twitched at the giggles in Goku's voice, " Capsule Corp, where else? "
/dl
" YOU MEAN HE'S WHAT?!! " Chi-Chi almost fell over as she stood in the living room behind the front door, grasping
onto future Goku's undershirt by the back collar.
" From the, future. " Bulma laughed nervously.
" THE FUTURE?! IF THIS GOKU IS THAT OUJI-LOVIN ONE FROM THE FUTURE, THEN WHERE'S MY GOKU FROM THE PRESENT!! " Chi-Chi
shook future Goku's collar angrily.
" *ACK*! " future Goku choked out.
" You're, hurting him. " Bulma pointed to future Goku.
" I DON'T CARE WHERE'S _MY_ GOKU!! "
" Up in space with future me. " Vegeta suddenly appeared next to Bulma. Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at the ouji.
" ... "
" ... "
" WHY YOU LITTLE-- " Chi-Chi grabbed Vegeta by the throat and began to strangle him simpsons-style. Vegeta let out a
yelp of pain.
" Ohhhhh boy. " Bulma covered her eyes with her fingers so she could only peek out at the scene before her.
" Chi-chan! Chi-chan STOP! V-sama's all-powerful! He can KILL you! " future Goku gasped, frightened.
Vegeta smirked, " Yeah Onna, you heard future Kakay--*ACK*! "
" SHUDDUP, OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi snapped.
" Stop it! It's not V-sama's fault! I'M the one who made the switch!!! " future Goku pleaded.
Chi-Chi glared at him over her shoulder and dropped Vegeta to the ground; the ouji coughing and hacking, " What? "
she said dangerously. Future Goku scooted back on the floor.
" I--I'm really sorry, Chi-chan! It's just that I missed you so much, I only wanted to be with you and everybody else
like it used to be just one more time. " he sniffled.
" Well, "future" Goku, that's very touching and all, but HOW do you propose we switch you BACK! " Chi-Chi growled.
" Umm, well, I-- "
" *CRASH*!! " the group froze as something came hurtling down through the roof and landed smack-dab in the middle of
where they were standing.
" A _MACKERAL_?! " Chi-Chi said in shock as they all stared down at the unusually large fish.
" GREETINGS EVERYBODY FOR WE ARE HOME!!! " a familiar voice shouted from the rooftops.
" GO-CHAN!! " Chi-Chi exclaimed w/sparkily eyes, " You're back and you're safe and oh-kay!!! "
" We're saved. " Bulma gave future Goku a relieved smile.
" V-sama... " future Goku clasped his hands together, musing as he stared up at the ship through the hole in the
roof.
" VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! " a super-excited,
near-psychotic scream echoed from the ship as the larger of two figures on the ship's outer deck off.
Vegeta paled, " Oh no.... " he twitched, then backed up, hoping to get out of the room only to get tackled and rammed
into the ground by a large, light-pink blob. The ouji let out a noise of pain.
" OHHHHHHHHHH!!! VEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIE!!! I'M-BACK! YOU'RE-SAFE! WE'RE-HERE!!!
I-MISSED-YOU!! " present Goku rabbled off at an impeccable speed while hugging the ouji tightly.
" Uh, Kaka....rrot...to... " Vegeta squeaked out, running out of oxygen.
" EEEEEEE~~~~ " the larger saiyajin grinned.
" ....KAKARROTTO!!! " Vegeta shouted.
Goku took a deep breath, " *AHH*.....VEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIE--- "
" --CUT IT OUT ALREADY!! " the ouji exclaimed, causing Goku to look down at him. Vegeta looked back up and
face-faulted to see the larger saiyajin staring w/big sparkily eyes, " Eh... "
" I, missed you little Veggie. "
" Uh-huh. " Vegeta said flatly.
" I bet little Veggie missed ~~*ME*~~! " Goku said teasingly, pulling Vegeta away and poking him in the belly.
" I did not. " Vegeta stubbornly looked away, his face a light red.
" Oh little Veggie missed me alright. I know little Veggie and little Veggie ALWAYS misses me!!! " Goku began to
trace a circle around Vegeta's belly-button. The ouji, though now bright red in the face, was not amused.
" Please, don't do that. " Vegeta gritted his teeth.
" I cannot help it if little Veggie has a cute belly but-ton! " the larger saiyajin giggled.
" Heh...heh-heh-heh, " Vegeta laughed nervously, then grabbed Goku's hand and pushed it to the side. The larger
saiyajin observed his hand for a second, then went back to tracing circles on the ouji's stomach while holding Vegeta's
training shirt up with his other hand, " So, how was life with, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... " Vegeta's mind suddenly went blank
and a small trail of drool began to drip out the side of his mouth.
" Goku! Take your finger out of his belly button! " Bulma groaned.
" Hmm? " Goku cocked his head at her, then looked back at Vegeta to find the little ouji now glowing bright red and
a droplit of drool hanging out of his mouth and dripping onto the floor, " OH! " Goku pulled his finger out, " Veggie? VEGGIE
SNAP OUT OF IT! "
" Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... "
Goku slapped Vegeta across the face, " VEGGIE!!! "
" .....YOU BIG BAKA! WHAD YOU DO THAT FOR!!! " Vegeta's wits immediately fell back into place.
" Wow Veggie, you must have like, some of your brain in your tummy for you to get all brain-deed whenever I put my
finger in your belly-button! " Goku grinned.
" My royal anatomy does not concern you. " Vegeta glared at him, " Now where was I? Oh yeah, so, how was life with
my future counterpart? " he asked curiously.
" Future Veggie is really super-sweet but kinda creepy. " Goku concluded, " If he wasn't so creepy I think I would've
stayed with him! " he laughed loudly, then paused as he noticed a terrified and worried look on the present ouji's face.
" You'd never really LEAVE me like that, would ya Kakay? " Vegeta stared up at him, wide-eyed.
Goku looked down at him sympathetically, then over at future Vegeta, who was standing across the room holding future
Goku against him, " No. No I don't think I'd leave here for future Veggie, Veggie. " he paled.
" Mmmm... " future Vegeta trailed off, mmming with contentment.
" They've been doing that for at least 4 minutes straight now. " Bulma sweatdropped.
" YOU CUT THAT OUT!!! " Vegeta screamed at his future counterpart, mortified. He stomped over to him, " WHAT THE HECK
IS WRONG WITH YOU!! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE MUSHYING IT UP WITH KAKARROTTO!!! "
" Hahahaaaahhhhhh... " future Vegeta giggled, hugging future Goku as tightly as possible, " I have a kaka-disease. "
he grinned dopily at present Vegeta, " It's what happens when you live around my Kaka-muffin and those kaka-germs for entire
decades at a time. "
" WHAT?! " present Vegeta nearly fell over, " THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A KAKA-DISEASE!!! " he exclaimed, then pulled
a small object that looked like an airport metal scanner out of his pocket, " THIS is a kaka-germ scanning machine. As you
probably know, seeing as that you were me at one point, the kaka-germ scanner scans an object for it's concentration and
content amount of kaka-germs. " he turned it on, then pointed it at his future self, " Now let go of future Kakarrotto so I
can scan you. "
" NO! " both future saiyajins cried out at once, clutching onto each other protectively. Vegeta turned a pale green
with disgust.
" Oh...God... " he twitched, then grabbed his future self's gi sash instead and held it up to scan.
" *Beep...beep...beep..beep..beep.beep.beep.BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP!!!!!* "
" WHAT THE HECK-- " present Vegeta paused the scan only to have his jaw hang open. There were massive numbers of
kaka-germs crawling all over the sash, feeding on it. Sections of the sash contained kaka-germs that were nearly 10 times the
size of the normal ones, " Oh....dear....God, I am DOOMED!!! " Vegeta shrieked, then noticed he was still holding the sash
and dropped it to the floor. He then proceeded to jump up and down repeatedly on it, " DIE, SHIMATTA!! DIE!! "
" Hahaha, you can't kill them. " future Vegeta chuckled while future Goku rubbed his shoulders, " We're immortal,
remember? Everything about us, even the kaka-germs. "
Vegeta's eyes widened in fear at the thought, " Future, err, self; do you have any idea how many kaka-germs were
inhabiting one square inch of your "gi sash" ALONE?! " he gawked.
Future Vegeta's eyes also widened in fear, " Yes, I have an idea.....and I never, ever, want to know. That very
knowledge could drive me mad. "
" Haiiiiiii, and nobody likes a mad V-sama, right V-sama! " future Goku said sweetly, glad to have his timeline's
Vegeta back.
" OhhhhhHHHHhhh. " present Vegeta shuddered at him.
" I can rub one of your shoulders too, if you'd like, present V-sama. " future Goku smirked at him while wiggling
the fingers on one of his hands.
" NO! No thank you. Hahahahaha. " he laughed nervously.
" Well then I guess we ought to be going. " future Vegeta smirked up at the larger saiyajin, who only giggled with
delight in reply, " Aww, my Kaka-muffin agrees with me. Isn't that kawaii? " the ouji cooed to future Goku.
Present Vegeta suddenly had the urge to shoot himself in the head.
" Yeah, have fun and all, enjoy your trip! " present Goku spoke up. Vegeta glanced over at him and pulled a
double-take. For the first time realizing exactly WHAT present Goku was wearing.
" What in the-- " he began.
" --long story little Veggie. I'll tell you all about it later. " present Goku said, embarassed.
" There's one more thing I'd like to do before I go, Kaka-chan, if that's alright with you. " Future Vegeta offered.
" I'm alright, V-sama. " future Goku nodded politely.
" Good. " the ouji replied, then walked up to Chi-Chi, who had been sending him death-glares ever since he
re-arrived, " Onna, care for a friendly handshake goodbye? " he smirked.
Chi-Chi looked at him, a little leerly, then held her hand cautiously out. Future Vegeta also reached out only to
burst into ssj4 at the last moment, scaring the living daylights out of her.
" AHHHHHHHHH!!!! "
" RAAAAAAAAARRRRR!!! " future Vegeta let out an imitating roar.
" MONSTER MONSTER MONSTER!!! " Chi-Chi shrieked, terrified; then grabbed a nearby foot rest and swung it at future
Vegeta's head, " You stupid Ouji! " she angrily shook her fist at him, " Making me get mad over nothing!! "
" Oozaru-related form? " present Vegeta acknowledged.
" Hm? Oh, hai. Compact Oozaru, or as I like to sometimes call it, ssj4. " future Vegeta replied neatly.
" ...but it's not related to ssj's 1, 2, and 3. This form has to do with oozarus and our tail glands. "
" ... "
" ... "
" It's because I never reached level 3, isn't it? " present Vegeta said lamely.
" Actually-- " future Vegeta powered down, then went up again only to ssj3, " --you can. "
The present Ouji's eyes bulged out of his head in shock.
Future Vegeta turned to future Goku, " I'm going up to the ship, Kakay, meet me there after you finish your
goodbyes. " he said, then smirked at the group, " Goodbye Onna, Bulma, present Kakay and present me. " the future ouji
waved, then teleported back to the ship.
" I learn how to ultimately control my oozaru form in-order for me to accomplish the compact version. " present
Vegeta said, impressed, then frowned, " However I contact a kaka-disease and never recover from it... "
" Well Vegeta, you can't have your cake and eat it to. " Bulma nodded wisely.
" WHADDA YA MEAN I CAN'T HAVE BOTH!? We're RICH! We can buy a whole stinkin cake STORE! " Vegeta exclaimed.
The others sweatdropped.
" Genius is lost upon the stubborn. " Bulma sighed.
" And the insane. " Chi-Chi added.
" Now, speaking of having my cake, " Vegeta held out his hand to shake future Goku's. The large saiyajin laughed.
" O' V-sama, you are not going to be able to trick me with the same trick MY V-sama performed not even 10 seconds
ago. " he smiled down at Vegeta.
" Hai, I suppose you're right... " the ouji shrugged, " WOW LOOK AT THAT OVER THERE! " he fake-gasped, pointing
off to the right.
Future Goku looked over, " Look at what where?--OOF!! " he let out a strangled noise as Vegeta shoved him against
the wall.
" Bwahahahaha. " he laughed manically, " Future Kakarrotto, some things about you never change. " Vegeta said,
" Now that I've got you right where I want you I'm going to find out once and for all if you're really future me's
oujo or not before you go! "
" V-sama, oh V-sama don't! " future Goku looked petrified.
" Sorry Kakarrotto, it's too late for that! AHA! " Vegeta grinned victoriously, then grabbed present Goku's
undershirt future Goku was wearing and ripped it off.
/dl
" And he's been in a coma for the past 3 days ever since. " Bulma sighed tiredly as she, Goku, Chi-Chi, and the
two families gathered in one of Capsule Corp's hospital rooms around an unconsious present Vegeta; who was connected to
various complicated-looking machinery.
" Did he even get to tell you if he saw anything or not at least? " Gohan asked curiously. Bulma shook her head no.
" Well, he didn't tell me, but that necessarily doesn't mean there was or wasn't anything on future Goku's chest
or not. " Bulma replied.
" There better not have been, that's all I can say. " Chi-Chi grumbled.
" Aww, Chi-chan. I'm sure there wasn't and if there was than it probably wasn't future me or future Veggie's
faults. " Goku smiled weakly.
" Ohhhhh... " Vegeta moaned from under the sheets.
" Veggie! Veggie's coming to! " Goku said excitedly as Vegeta finally opened his eyes a bit, " Oh Veggie you are
a-live!! Was there anything there, little Veggie? Was there anything NOT there? What happened why did you faint do you
know you've been comatose for 3 whole days!! " he babbled on.
Vegeta groaned, " Kaka....rrotto. Please, stop your mindless peasant blabber for 2 seconds. I have a splitting
headache. " he sat up, rubbing his forehead with his pointer finger and thumb.
" Vegeta! We need to know! Did he have your future self's teeth-marks in him or not! " Bulma exclaimed.
Vegeta hung his head, " I don't know, I fainted before I could get a good look. "
Everyone fell over.
" WHAT?! " Bulma gawked, " After all fuss you made over it! "
" So? People faint when they're under extreme amounts of stress. " Vegeta huffed, folding his arms, " Besides, I
don't really need or want to know anyway. Chances are, either way I'd need some major psychological help. And if there's
one thing I don't want, it's somebody peeking into my head and poking around. " he nodded, " I'm also thinking of buying
something to temporarily sand my teeth or a type of armor to cover Kakarrotto's neck and chest; just in case, you know. "
" Wow, you're really optimistic, aren't you. " Bulma said sarcastically.
" Veggie? " Goku said shyly, back in his orange and blue gi.
" Hmm? " the ouji looked up.
" Little Veggie, I wanted to say that; with everything I've been through--on the ship and all, I think I'd like to
stay a peasant just a little bit longer before being Veggie's oujo; if, that's oh-kay with him? " he gave Vegeta a small
smile.
The ouji brightened up, " Kakarrotto! That's great! *whew*! I thought for a second there I was going to have to go
through with the plan and bump your status up to a 1st class elite to fix your broken "ego". "
" WOW!!! Veggie's gonna make me a 1st class saiyajin peasant!! " Goku squealed w/big sparkily eyes, " Oh Veggie~~! "
Vegeta laughed nervously, " Well, actually 2nd or 1st class, I didn't mean-- "
" --FIRST CLASS! That's so cool and nice and super-sweet of little Veggie!! I bet it's like, 1 or 2 positions away
from being an ~*OUJO!!!*~ " Goku grinned eagerly.
" Hey!! Waitaminute! I thought you were over that "oujo" thing! Kakarrot!!! " Vegeta screamed in a slightly panicky
voice as Goku bounced around the room with joy, " KAKARROTTO!!! "
" Hee~~~~! " Goku teleported over to him, " FIRST CLASS senshi Kakarrotto reporting for duty, little Veggie! "
" Ohhhhhh, Kakarrotto I didn't mean it like that! Really! You're still in 3rd!! " Vegeta yelled as Goku bounced
towars the door.
" This is so AMAZING! I can't WAIT to tell the others about it! ME--first class!! " he ducked out of the room, then
poked his head in and smiled sweetly in Vegeta's direction, " Thank you little Veggie! I luv you! " Goku said, then
re-left again.
" Well, "bite-mark" boy, whadda you have left to say for yourself? " Bulma snickered at the scene. Vegeta sighed,
laying back with his head on his pillow and sighed more loudly.
" Why me...... "

THE END
Chu, Son, & Veggie: We apologize for the big-ness of this chapter!!
Chuquita: (happily) But it's finally over so congrads to anyone who made it to the end.
Vegeta: I KNEW you should've just stopped halfway and made a part 5.
Chuquita: And I was doing so well with the size of the previous chapters too. *sighs*
Goku: (to Chu) So, we never find out if future me has Veggie-teeth-marks in him or not.
Chuquita: (grins) Nope! I like a good mystery, and besides, this way both the people who want it to happen and those who
think it's gross can be mildly satisfied with the fact that we don't know either way for sure!
Vegeta: Ah, negociations.
Chuquita: (to audiance) And yes, to whoever asked the question in the review; I did work on this real late at night a couple
days this week (seeing as this is my spring-break week: up until next Tuesday, anyway) Infact, a large portion of everything
above "the end" was written by me last night (hence the end time at 2 in the morning, right now it's 12 in the afternoon)
because frankly I wanted to get this out today.
Goku: The last two chapters were closer together cuz the site was working weird last monday and the other one was finished
by that thursday.
Chuquita: But now we're done! I have another Piccolo one-shot coming up soon so as in my previous one-shots with him I'll
list the summaries for my upcoming stories (since I wanna keep this end corner short due to the giant-size of the chapter
itself)
Vegeta: (snickers) The namek finds a watch that can stop all time around him and uses it in an attempt to take over the
planet; again, which of course---well, _I_ think, will fail.
Goku: Do not be so negative little Veggie! (smiles) Piccy-kun is very wise and smart.
Vegeta: Wise and smart are two different things, Kakarrotto. And YOU are neither.
Goku: (confused) ....wait, what?
Chuquita: The next story has to do with an idea that hit me out of the blue along with something I've noticed while comparing
saiyajin-saga mangas to the cell ones in my shounen jump. It has to due with Veggie!
Goku: (grins) Who is little, silly-brained, and cute! [hugs Veggie tightly]
Vegeta: (sweatdropped) I am NOT "silly-brained".
Goku: (giggles) Veggie's little and cute though, right?
Vegeta: (glances at Goku's height, then at his own) Well, oh-kay, I AM "little" for your average saiyajin, and I'm quite
handsom--
Goku: --CUTE! (hugs tighter)
Vegeta: (twitches) Oh God...
Chuquita: Here's the summary! Or something like it:
Summary: It's been 13 years since Veggie first landed on Earth, and newschannels are starting to finally replay the videos
taken of the two aliens who blew up North City. The newscasters along with the FBI and scientists are starting to believe
that the smaller alien is still alive, AND walking among the Earthlings. Now there's a 100 million $ reward for the capture
of the alien, and everybody wants to take advantage of it, including Chi-Chi and the other members of the Z-senshi who
particularly don't care for the ouji. But what happens when Veggie reveals to the press that Goku is also an alien? Will the
gang be able to save the two saiyajins from ending up subjects in a series of, private, secret experiments on their minds
and bodies? Will there be anything left to save by the time they get there?
Chuquita: Hope you'll enjoy the next fic. I can't wait to get started on this one! BTW, if anyone knows the name of the city
Veggie and Nappa (technicly it was only Nappa) that was destoryed when they first landed in the middle of the street, e-mail
or tell me in the review; I'm just going w/North City til then.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Lazy.
Chuquita: Well it doesn't say what city you guys landed in in the manga!
Goku: (grins) Maybe it was Goku Town!
Vegeta: (smirks) Or Kaka Village.
Chuquita: We already had a Kaka Village back in "King Me!"
Vegeta: (thinks back) Oh yeah...
Chuquita: Well, goodbye til the next story everybody! (waves)
Goku: BYEBYE!
Vegeta: (sigh) So long.
Goku: (to Veggie) Heee, I'M A FIRST CLASS PEASANT NOW!!
Vegeta: (rolls his eyes) Oh you're a first class SOMETHING, Kakarrotto...
