Quote of the Week: -from Shounen Jump #6
Veggie: Why don't you guys go home and drink some milk or something...and stay out of my way.
Kuririn: Drink milk, my butt....
Chuey's Corner:
Goku: Heehee, hey Veggie, "got milk?"
Vegeta: (narrows his eyes)
Chuquita: (snickers) Hahaha, sorry Veggie, it's just such a funny insult that I couldn't help it.
Goku: (grins) It does a body good!
Vegeta: (snorts) What did I know, this was back when I had only been on Earth for not even 3 years straight and all I did
most of the time was train! You can't absorb an entire planet's culture within a mere 3 years of doing nothing but train and
visit Kakarrotto's house.
Goku: (smirk) I bet little Veggie didn't even know what milk was when he said that, did he?
Vegeta: I did TO! (boastfully) Milk is an edible liquid white-ish substance produced by the utters of farm cattle.
Goku: (cheerfully) Ooh, little Veggie is all scientific to-day!
Vegeta: (snicker) Hai.
Chuquita: Today we have two special guests with us, each played a part in helping create the two saiyajins sitting here.
Son-kun's Toussan, Bardock; and Veggie's Toussan, King Bejito.
Bardock: (sitting back in his seat) (casually waves) Hi.
King Bejito: (lets out aggrivated sigh as he stands infront of his chair)
Goku: Problem, Veggie's Daddy?
King Bejito: I'm waiting for my chair to arrive.
Nappa: (from enterance door to the studio) YOUR HIGHNESS YOUR THRONE WON'T FIT THROUGH THE DOOR! IT'S TOO BIG!!
King Bejito: It's not to big, the door's just too small. (nods thoughtfully)
Queen Ruby: (also trying to push the throne through the door) Listen Bej, it's not working! It really IS too big!
Raditsu: Why am _I_ having to do this! _I'M_ not a royal guard!!!
King Bejito: (to Raditsu) Would you like to be one? You get a badge. [holds out shiny gold badge, then pins it to Raditsu's
armor]
Raditsu: Cool.
King Bejito: Yes....now get back to pushing!
Raditsu: (sweatdrops) Aw....KUSO!
Goku: Many a person has been swayed by the shinyness of a metal object.
Bardock: I happen to like my chair. (spins around)
Goku: (watches him spin, then grins and spins his chair also) WHEE!!!!
Chuquita: ... (shrugs) Oh what the heck. (also spins her chair)
Vegeta: Ugh, bakas. (gets up and walks over to where his father is pulling the chair while the other saiyajins push it in)
Here Toussan. (goes ssj2, grabs chair and easily pulls it into the studio while making a big gaping hole in the wall)
Queen Ruby: (looks up at giant gaping hole) Wow.
Nappa: Wow indeed.
Raditsu: (takes off his badge) Stupid...*grumble*...tricking me with the stupid shinyness of this *grumble*.... [walks over
to Son] Hey little brother, how'd YOU like to be a 'royal guard'.
Goku: (stops spinning) (big grin) OOH! YAY!!!
Vegeta: AHH! NO!!!
Raditsu: (pins it to Son's gi shirt) There ya go. Have fun. (walks off while his hands twitch in pain from all the pushing)
Goku: (looks at his badge) It's so prettttttty. (perks up) HEY! This means I get to guard VEGGIE now!.....OFFICALLY! I do
like being offical.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Your an offical SOMETHING alright. [finishes pushing the throne to the desk] There. (to Beji) Say
Toussan, you didn't happen to bring my throne to, did you? (slight cheesy grin)
King Bejito: No, actually I didn't. (sweatdrops)
Vegeta: (sighs) Oh.
Bardock: (looking up at the throne) I tell ya, I wouldn't wanna sit up that high. You'd get a nose-bleed up there.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) I can't even see the top of it.
Goku: Maybe we should throw up some signal flares for him to tell him when the story starts.
Bardock: I have signal flares. [pulls some out of his pocket]
Goku: OOooooOOOoh! I WANT ONE!
Vegeta: NO YOU DON'T!! (to Bardock) DON'T GIVE HIM ANY! Kakarrotto and explosives are a dangerous combination!!!
Goku: (wiggling his fingers anxiously) Gimmie-gimmie-gimmie-gimmie-gimmie-gimmie-gimmie-gimmie-gimmie----
Bardock: Sure.
Vegeta: (freaks out) NO!!!
Bardock: But when the chapter starts and ends, if we send up too many we'll light the roof on fire.
Chuquita: I really don't feel like having to evacuate everybody if that happens.
Goku: (chirps) Aw, don't worry, I'll hose down the roof if we have to! (big grin) I'm OFFICAL, you know. (points to his
badge)
Vegeta: (groans) Oh dear God....
Goku: (doesn't hear Veggie) It's such a shiny badge too....
King Bejito: (approaches his throne) ... (walks back to the others) Any of you have a very tall ladder?
Goku: OOH! ME! [magically holds out 5-story-high ladder]
King Bejito: Hm. Well, that was convienent. [leans ladder against throne and climbs up]
Chuquita: Speaking of up, today's fic has to do with what happened after Son-kun and Uubu sailed up into the sky--
Vegeta: --ABANDONING ME. [sends guilty glare at Son]
Goku: (sniffle) Poor Vedge'ums... (hugs Veggie)
Bardock: (dryly) (to Veggie) You're a sneaky one, aren't you?
Vegeta: Heh. (big grin)
Chuquita: Today's fic deals with stuff that happened during the last episode of dbz and what happened to Goku & Uubu after
it. Only after leaving the rest of the crew, a jilted-feeling Veggie decides to fly off after them and retrieve his title of
Son-kun's "little buddy" from Uubu. We also get to meet the odd people living in Uubu's village on that little tropical
island in the south seas.
Goku: Haha! It's a Veggieplotting, sunbathing, tropical adventure! (grins) And I get to be a sensei!
Vegeta: (twitches) I pity the guy who gets YOU for a teacher.
Goku: EEE~~~!
Chuquita: (happily) Here we go!
Summary: NO ONE dumps the saiyajin no ouji as his little buddy and gets away with it. At least, that's what Vegeta thinks.
After Goku takes off with Uubu at the end of dbz, Veggie does some thinking, reflecting, and decides the best option would be
to destroy Uubu and regain the position he values so dearly. How is he planning on doing it? Will Veggie EVER leave Goku
alone? Will Goku even find out what the ouji is up to? Find out!
Chuquita: Wanna know something ironic? In japanese, "grampa" is "ojichan".
Goku: Haha! Now there's TWO oujis! Me AND Veggie!
Vegeta: (grumbles) SHE SAID "OJI--", NOT "OUJI", baka...
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" I'm number 1! I'm number 1! Woowoowoo! Yeahyeahyeah! " chibi Pan sang as she bounced off the Budokai stage and into
the small building holding the fighters. She ran up to Goku, " Did you see me beat him Ojichan! I knocked him out so fast!
I was kickin and punchin and BAM he landed flat on his face! " she said excitedly.
" Hai! You did a really good job, Panny! " Goku grinned, giving her a hug. The 4 year old chibi laughed.
" After the tournament is over, let's go get some more ice-cream! "
" Yeah! " Goku exclaimed, " Chocolate ice-cream! With fudge! And hot fudge! And lots and lots of whipped cream and
rainbow sprinkles and cherries and-- "
" --*A-HEM*! " a loud, attention-getting cough came from directly above them. Goku cocked his head up slightly to see
Vegeta staring down at him suspiciously not even a half-foot away from the larger saiyajin's face. Goku sweatdropped at the
ouji's expression, then laughed at him, surprising Vegeta, " And Veggie can have ice-cream with us too! " he added.
" HOORAY!! " chibi Pan cheered. She glanced up at Vegeta also, " Ojichan says you really like strawberry ice-cream,
Uncle Veggie! "
" Uh..huh... " Vegeta sweatdropped, then tugged on Goku's light blue gi, " Kakarrotto I need to talk to you for a
moment. As much as I'd hate to tear you away from the first Kaka-spawned creature that has absolutely none of Onna's
personality traits; this is important. "
" Whatever you say little Veggie. " Goku smiled, then let go of Pan and followed the smaller saiyajin around the
corner of the building. He looked down the dark hallway to see there was a turned on filmstrip machine, a little stool, and
a pointer, " Oooh, slideshow! " the large saiyajin chirped as he sat down, " I hope this doesn't take too long, little Veggie
, I'm due out for the second match in five minutes. " he glanced back down the hallway they came from.
" Oh, don't worry about that. I'm sure you'll easily win anyway, Kaka-chan. " the ouji smirked, picking up the
pointer in one hand and a little machine with a button in it in the first. He pressed the button allowing the first slide to
show up; a graph of the Budokai contestants similar to the one displayed when they were choosing their numbers, " Now, while
your little kaka-eagerness to fight this 'reincarnated kid buu' has placed me in a spot over here that lessens the chances of
us getting a battle, I have figured out the three most obvious finalists. "
The larger saiyajin sweatdropped, " Umm, Veggie? "
" And those finalists are you, me, and the Kaka-girl. " Vegeta pressed a button again showing his predictions of what
would happen; showing Pan defeating Goten in the next round and moving up to face Goku. In the other half it showed Vegeta
defeating Trunks. Seeing as some of the contestants had fled after seeing Pan's power, this left the ouji as the only one on
his side of the board.
" "Kaka-girl"? " Goku cocked his head, confused.
" Naturally while she is strong, you shall easily defeat the little Kaka-girl in the next round and we shall face
each other in the CHAMPIONSHIPS!! " Vegeta almost grinned happily, " Just imagine when all those humans see our TRUE saiyajin
strength on the battlefield! AND after the fight is over we can go buy the video and I can watch myself beat your kaka-tush
into the ground until you are unconsious again and again and again! "
" Aww, that's nice and all, Veggie, but---........"Kaka-girl"? " he stopped one more time to check.
" Yes. That. " Vegeta pointed over to Pan, who was now hyperactively bouncing around the room while singing out of
tune.
" ONE FISH, TWO FISH, RED FISH, BLUE FISH, LALALA, I LIKE EAT THEM ALL! "
" ... " Vegeta looked back over at Goku, who smiled proudly.
" I taught her that one! "
" That's a Dr. Seuss book title, you baka. Not a song! " Vegeta twitched, frustrated.
" Oh. "
" ... "
" ... "
" ...when has little Veggie been reading Dr. Seuss? " Goku looked at him, baffled.
" DOHHH!! NEVERMIND THAT! " Vegeta snapped, " Now go out there and defeat that little mohalked child and get back
here so we can go get a snack before the finals. " he pushed Goku out of the corridor.
The larger saiyajin stood still, watching a nervous Uubu peering out of the building to wear the arena was. He turned
back around to face the smaller saiyajin and bent down, then grabbed Vegeta and pulled him into a tight hug while sniffling
slightly as he did so.
Vegeta's face turned a bright red color. The mushy fog that had entered his brain suddenly cleared when he noticed
that Goku had been holding on for way too long. The ouji choked down his own spit, then spoke up, " Umm, Kakay? "
" I luv you little buddy Veggie 'o mine. " Goku rubbed his eyes, then pulled away so the ouji couldn't tell he was
crying, " Don't you ever let anyone change you on me oh-kay? Cuz--cuz everybody else, they get old and gray, but not Veggie.
Veggie'll still be the same when I get back, right? " he put his hands on Vegeta's shoulders.
" Aw, come off it, baka. You're only going to be out there for 10 minutes, tops. " Vegeta said stubbornly, avoiding
eye-contact.
The larger saiyajin sniffled, smiling at him, " Veggies so brave. " Goku let go, then turned around and walked back
into the other room leading out to the arena. He held his hand out to shake Uubu's, " Hi! My name's Son Goku! I guess we're
up next, huh? "
" Uh, right. " Uubu nervously shook Goku's hand.
The little ouji around the corner visibly paled, " I got a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. "
" Let's go then! We can't be late! " Goku chriped, running out of the room and slowing down to a jog as he reached
the arena steps. Uubu walked out after him.
" Hmm... " Vegeta peered from over behind the large square with the tournament's kanji written on its front. He
hopped onto his toes and pulled himself up to see better, then sent an un-noticed death-glare at Trunks and Goten, who had
recently entered the people-who-are-taller-than-Vegeta club. The only members left to pass him in stature were Marron, Bura,
and Pan, ::All little girls:: the ouji twitched in annoyment.
" WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TO THE SECOND ROUND OF THE 26TH TENKAICHI BUDOKAI! FACING OFF IN THIS ROUND WILL BE
ONE OF OUR REOCCURING COMPETITORS AND PREVIOUS CHAMPION IN THE 23RD TENKAICHI BUDOKAI, SON GOKU!! HE'LL BE FIGHTING AGAINST
NEWCOMER, A 10 YEAR OLD BOY NAMED UUBU! UUBU COMES FROM A SMALL VILLAGE ON ONE OF THE TROPICAL SOUTHERN ISLANDS! HE'S HERE TO
WIN MONEY TO BUY HIS VILLAGE FOOD!! GIVE IT UP FOR THEM BOTH!! " the announcer, just as loud as ever, blared over his
microphone.
" Heeheehee, heeheehee, heeheeheeheeheehee! " Goku eagerly bounced inside his boots, ::Oh BOY! It's actually
happening! I'm getting to fight Kid Buu--AGAIN!!:: he grinned, " ALRIGHT UUBU! LET'S GO!!! " the saiyajin struck a fighting
position.
" ......I....I......ohhh.... " Uubu looked around nervously, " How am I supposed to fight that guy--he's so big!! But
I can't let my friends and family down......but, but I heard he's one of the best competitors in this whole tournament, and
he's WON it before!! Ohhhhhhh.... " he panically muttered to himself.
" ... " Goku blinked at his opponent, who was shivering like a leaf. The saiyajin sweatdropped, " Aw man! If he stays
that scared I'm NEVER gonna get him to fight me at his best! There's got to be SOME way to unlease his full power... "
/dl
Several days ago:
:::" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! " Vegeta laughed as he ran out of the Son home to where Goku was standing, " Look at THIS,
Kakarrotto! " he snickered, " Onna has a GRAY HAIR. " the ouji said in a sing-song voice.
" HEEEEYAAAAAAH!!!! " a fist came flying through the thick wall, nearly missing Vegeta's head by a few inches, " EVIL
LITTLE OUJI!!! GIVE THAT BACK!!!! " Chi-Chi roared from behind the wall her fist had just pummeled through.
" Gladly. " the ouji said cooley, letting the hair flutter out of his hand. Chi-Chi grabbed it it her fist and calmed
down. She reached out to pull her arm back in, only to freeze when she found it stuck, " .....uh-oh......CURSE YOU OUJI!!! ":
::
/dl
" YEAH! That's it! I'll pull a Veggie and make him really really mad!!!! " Goku grinned, proud of his idea, then
turned to Uubu and smirked, " HEY, MR. NO-SHIRT-NO-SHOES-NO-SERVICE!!! I really had you fooled! I'm not really a good person
at all! I'm EEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeevvvvvvvvVVVVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllLLLLLLLL!! JUST LIKE LITTLE VEGGIE BACK
THERE THINKS HE IS!!! " he pointed to where the competitors were standing, " And I'm gonna chop you into little bity pieces
and send you home in one of those baggies you pack picnic sandwiches in! And then I'm gonna light all the Earthling on fire
an they'll run around screaming 'oh no we're on fire'! And then I'm gonna BLOW EVERYTHING UP!! " he waved his arms in the
air.
" ... " Uubu stared at him blankly, " ? "
Goku frowned, recognizing nothing he had just said worked, " Ohhh....what would Veggie say? " he pouted, rubbing his
chin in deep thought, " AH! " he turned back to a very confused Uubu.
::I thought they said he was supposed to be one of the friendliest fighters in the budokai:: Uubu thought to himself.
" Ahh, heh-heh. " Goku snickered, " YO, BAKA!!! "
Uubu froze in place.
" YEAH YOU HEARD ME YOU, YOU BAKA BRAINDEAD _HUMAN_!! HA, I'VE SEEN SQURRELS WITH HIGHER I.Q'S; better fashion sense
too. You look like you just came from someplace that makes really really bad clothing. Well whoever they are they probably
did your hair too! BOY is that the UGLIEST haircut I've ever seen. I bet it's just as ugly as the rest of the money-grubbers
in your puny little earth-village where you all sit around and taste each others dung! I bet the only thing uglier than that
are the two bakayaroes who spawned you! "
" DON'T YOU INSULT MY PARENTS! OR MY VILLAGE! OR MY TASTE IN OUTERWEAR!!! " Uubu yelled angrily, his ki flying
though the roof.
::Wow, look it him go! Now that he's riled up this is gonna be the best fight EVER!!:: Goku thought in anticipation.
The large saiyajin suddenly paused as he felt a little tug on his gi belt. Goku looked down to see the smaller saiyajin
standing next to him and staring up at him with big sparkily gooey eyes. The larger saiyajin almost fell over, " Ve--VEGGIE!
What're you DOING out here! "
" I've never seen you, insult the humans before.... " the ouji squeaked out in a little voice.
" Aww, little Veggie that was just me lieing to get Uubu's full power out in the open. " Goku laughed nervously, then
began to push Vegeta off the platform and back down the steps to the waiting spot, " And as cute as Veggie looks with his
eyes all big-n-pretty like that, it's against the rules for him to be up on the platform when his fight isn't up yet. " Goku
scooted Vegeta back to where he was standing, " Now Veggie stay here while I go fight Uubu. I'll be back to see you, I
promise. " he said warmly.
" So, you WERE lying to the shoe-less kid just now. " Vegeta said slowly, back to normal.
" Yes. " Goku nodded.
" Hm.. " Vegeta nodded in agreement, then took a deep breath and pulled out a megaphone, " HERE THAT ONNA! KAKAY SAYS
HE'S GOING TO SET YOU ON FIRE AND THEN DESTROY THE PLANET WHILE KAKAY AND I SHIP OFF INTO THE GALAXY TOGETHER!!! "
" WHAT?! " Chi-Chi screamed from up in the booth with the other senshi.
" Veggie give me that! " Goku shrieked, taking Vegeta's megaphone away from him, " Cut that out I'm trying to fight
a match over here! " he walked over to Trunks and handed him the megaphone, " Here Trunks, hold onto this til Veggie starts
behaving like a good little Veggie again because he's punished. "
" What---you can't punish me! I'm not your child! I'm not even related to you you big bakayaro!! " Vegeta exclaimed,
embarassed as Goku headed back to the arena.
" Uncle Veggie, if it makes you feel any better you can play with my yo-yo for a little while. " Pan said, smiling up
at him while holding a bright red yo-yo.
" No. I don't want to play yo-yo right now. " Vegeta snorted, folding his arms in a stubborn pout. Pan shrugged, put
her yo-yo away, and began playing jump-rope with Vegeta's tail.
" Cinderella, dressed in yella, went downstairs to meet her fella, on her way she got bit by a snake, how many
seconds will it take! 1, 2, 3, 4... " Pan sang as she jump-roped with the furry appendage.
Pan's singing, while very close, was soon blurred out into the back of Vegeta's mind as he, Trunks, Goten, and the
others watched Goku battle against Uubu.
" Oh he's Buu alright. No doubt about it. " Piccolo smirked wryly.
" And Enma-sama really complied with Goku's wish to fight him again and brought him back in the form of a small human
boy? " Dende paled.
" Kakarroujo once told me that if you try real hard and believe in yourself, all your wishes will come true! " Bura
mused, " No wonder Toussan luvs him so much! "
" Oh SHADDUP, Ouji-spawn! " Chi-Chi snapped at her.
" Toussan said he found a gray hair on your head when he and Kaasan visited Kakarroujo's house a couple days ago. Is
that true? " Bura said almost mockingly.
" I swear if there weren't other people around I would-- " Chi-Chi gritted her teeth, threatening.
" --hit me with your walking cane? " Bura laughed.
" THAT'S IT!! " she yelled angrily, standing up and grabbing her chair she marched towards Bura. Chi-Chi would've
finished her march had not an irrepressible fit of laughter erupted from the arena. The gang peered down to see Goku had just
been slammed into the floor of the arena and was grinning like a maniac. He lept to his feet and began a wild fist-fight with
Uubu.
" Heh, he's enjoying every minute of it. Son-kun you're crazy. " Piccolo muttered.
Uubu ran at Goku with a powerful kick, launching him into the air and out of the arena. The rest of the group gasped
in surprise, then in shock as Goku floated in the air grinning and wagging his tail happily behind him as if waiting for the
next attack. Uubu's jaw hung gaping open as he stared up at Goku. The large saiyajin paused, then flew down to him.
" Aw, you haven't learned to fly again yet, huh? " he mildly frowned.
" F-f--fly?! " Uubu's eyes bulged out of his head.
" Hey! I have to admit though, you put up a great fight! Even better than I ever expected! " Goku fully landed on the
ground, " I have to apologize for earlier. If I hadn't gotten you mad, you never would've faught that well. Your anger
overcame your fear. " he nodded while smiling.
" Umm, tha--thank you Goku-san. " Uubu bowed slightly. Vegeta narrowed his eyes and put his hand over his right ear,
allowing him to better hear what the larger saiyajin was saying through the portara earrings bond.
" That's why I'd like you be my new pupil! Whadda ya say! " Goku exclaimed, " I could come back and live with you and
your family on the tropical island and I could help you bring out your TRUE POWER!!! "
" ... " Uubu blinked at him, " Uh, Goku-san? I, really don't think that will work. "
" What? Why not? " Goku frowned.
" Because, my family--my entire village--is POOR! The weather is so hot down there that, while we all do enjoy the
luxury of gaining 5-star tans, there is little water and our crops have nearly all dried up. That's why I came to fight here.
I need the money to buy food to bring back to my village. " Uubu said sadly.
" Aww, don't worry about that! " Goku perked up, " I'll have Hercule give send us the money after we get there! "
" Re--really? You can do that? " Uubu looked at him incrediously.
" SURE! Hercule's actually, well, my brother-in-law. " the large saiyajin laughed nervously, " His daughter and my
son are married. "
" ...oh. " Uubu continued to look shocked.
" Wait here for a second, I'll be RIGHT BACK. " Goku said, then flew up to the box seats Gohan, Chi-Chi, and the
others were seated in, " Hi everybody! I'm going to go live with Uubu and train him for a while! " he exclaimed happily.
" GOKU ARE YOU CRAZY!! " Chi-Chi gawked, " WE JUST GOT YOU BACK! _WHY_ would you ever want to-- "
" Good luck, Goku. " Piccolo said.
" --OH YOU KEEP OUT OF THIS YOU BIG GREENBEAN!! " Chi-Chi poked Piccolo in the chest. The namek sweatdropped. Chi-Chi
spun around only to see Goku had just flew back down to the arena again. She paled, " Oh dear God, he's really going to leave
us again, isn't he? "
" Personally, I think Goku's gotten himself a new little buddy. " Piccolo said to her. Chi-Chi froze in place.
" "new little--"... " a small smile appeared on her face, " A new little buddy. Someone to replace the Ouji. My
Go-chan doesn't love the Ouji anymore! HAHA! HAPPY DAY! HAPPY DAY!! HAHAHA! " Chi-Chi sang as she did a little dance, then
pointed at Bura, " HA! IN YOUR FACE, YOU OUJI-GOKU LOVER!!! "
" Urm, Kaasan do you think you could calm down a bit. People are beginning to stare. " Gohan mumbled, embarassed.
" Why should I calm down? LET them stare! My sweet Go-chan has come to his senses and liberated himself from the Ouji
just as I had hoped for in my wildest dreams! " she sniffled slightly, her eyes misty with tears of joy.
" 1 more minute! " Goku signaled Uubu as he jogged off the arena and down to the area the fighters stood in. Pan
stopped jump-roping with Vegeta's tail and ran over to great Goku.
" OJICHAN! I missed you so much! Did you win! " the chibi said excitedly.
" Well, nobody won yet, Panny. " Goku smiled weakly, " Actually, you see, Ojichan has to go away for a while. "
Pan paused, her eyes beginning to water, " You're going away? "
" Yeah, I, I'm going to go train Uubu over there so he can be a strong senshi too. "
" But--but I'm strong. You said I'm not done training, right? "
" Panny, take care of yourself. This doesn't mean I won't visit. " Goku smiled, " And as soon as Uubu's completed his
training I'll be back to be with you all the time again. Don't cry, oh-kay? "
" Uh--oh-kay. " Pan tried her best to keep the tears from falling down her cheeks.
" And besides, when I come back, you may even be as strong as me. " he winked at her.
Pan smiled, " Yeah! I'm gonna train real hard, Ojichan!! "
" Thatagirl. " Goku turned to Goten, " Goten, take care of your mother for me, oh-kay? "
" Sure.....Toussan.... " Goten looked disheartened.
" She--Chi-chan. I think she may need glasses soon. She told me and Gohan the other day her vision's getting blurry
and she can't see that well anymore; but not to tell Veggie because he'll do his Veggiestuff and get her all mad at him and
end up accidentally hurting herself. "
" Alright.....well, good luck then Toussan. " Goten said. Goku smiled, then looked over to his left.
" And Ve---HOLY CHEESE BREAD!!! " Goku yelped. The little ouji stood there staring up at him with the most
heartbroken look imaginable on his face while a little gray raincloud hovered hover his head pouring a thunder-storm down
over Vegeta, who was huddled over slightly from the cold. Those who had been standing anywhere near Vegeta had previously
backed several feet away. Goku's felt his eyes water and a big block of cement being dropped on his hear, " --geeeeeeee~~~.."
He walked over to Vegeta, then grabbed the little cloud and wrung it out, " Bad kinto'un! Go potty on somebody else!"
he shooed his small yellow cloud away. Goku sighed as he watched the cloud hover in the corner of the room, then turned back
to Vegeta and shrieked when he saw what looked like a bloody dagger sticking out of Vegeta's tummy, " AHHHH!! LITTLE VEGGIE!"
Goku reached for it only to have it pop off; the 'dagger' being no more than a toy leftover from last halloween. He twitched,
throwing it over his shoulder, " Ugh, Veggie I--EEK!!! " the ouji was now standing on a child's stepstool with a rope around
his neck tied to part of the ceiling. Goku quickly snapped the rope in two, catching Vegeta in his arms in the process,
" VEGGIE CUT THAT OUT! You'll scare me to death you know. " the larger saiyajin hugged the ouji tightly, " I'd just HATE to
lose my sweet little Veggie-edge'ums. " the peasant's eyes watered on the verge of bawling.
" You can't lose me if you don't leave. " Vegeta said.
" But I _HAVE_ to leave! " Goku pleaded.
" Even ~*Veggie*~? "
Tears were now streaming down Goku's face, " Even ~*Veggie*~..... " he tried to shake it off, " PLEASE, little
Veggie! PLEASE be mature and grownup about this. You're such a good little Veggie. "
" Fine. I shall *sniff* "suck it up" as you humans say. " Vegeta went into overdramatic mode for a moment, " But when
you return and fine my bodyless head lying in a gutter being eaten by sewer rats don't come crawling to wherever the rest of
my body is because you probably won't be able to find it after Onna chops it's soft, chubby sweetness into a million bloody
pieces and feeds it to Hiyah Dragon as a snack. "
" Eehhhh~~~~ " Goku sobbed, " I DON'T WANT VEGGIE TO GET EATEN!!!! "
The ouji zipped back to normal, " I understand, Kakarrotto. "
" You--you do? " Goku blinked, rubbing his teary eyes.
" Yes. You want to train that runty Uubu. Well I'm not stopping you like that Onna would stop you so go ahead and
enjoy yourself. " he folded his arms and nodded, " We wouldn't be able to show our full power in a place like this anyway.
Overcrowded with people. " Vegeta said.
Goku smiled, " It would've been nice though, to have one more battle with the saiyajin no ouji. "
" Heh, " Vegeta smirked boastfully, then whispered into the larger saiyajin's ear, " Kakarrotto-chan, the next time
we play with each other, we're going to need an entire planet for an arena. "
The larger saiyajin's cheeks heated up to a light pink.
Vegeta held out a capsule, " And, ironically, I just happened to have a spaceship! " he grinned.
" Goodbye Veggie! " Goku gave him one last hug, then flew over to the arena, floating stationary on his stomach with
his arms outward. Vegeta sweatdropped and let the capsule fall to the ground, " Heehee, I'm an airplane! "
Uubu stared at him.
" Come on, climb on my back! We can fly out of here right now! " the large saiyajin said with a smile.
" Well, I guess I could try. " Uubu said uneasily, hopping onto Goku's back, " This is sort of awkward. "
" Kakay never did that with me... " the little ouji sniffled. Fat Buu patted him on the shoulder.
" Aww, Buu feel bad for Vegeta-san. Here, Buu make better! " he held out a cupcake, " Cupcake good. Buu make all by
Buu's self! "
Vegeta's eyes watered even more, " Kakay always loved eating cupcakes....WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! STUPID STUPID STUPID!"
he pounded on the wall. Buu shrugged and shoved the cupcake into Vegeta's mouth, instantly calming down and confusing the
ouji at the same time.
" There, now Buu no have to listen to Vegeta's whining! " Buu chirped.
Vegeta snorted and eat the cupcake, then went back to focusing on the events in a stubborn manner.
" Hahaha! Let's go! " Goku laughed as he flew off, Uubu holding on tightly to the saiyajin's gi shirt for dear life
as they spiraled out of the arena until they were no more than a dot in the sky.
" I think that had to be the most random thing I've ever seen your father done, Goten. " Trunks mumbled, confused.
" I hope the natives are friendly to him. " Goten said, then paled at the thought of the islanders throwing Goku into
a volcano, " And I hope he doesn't say anything stupid. "
" Somehow, " Trunks replied, " I don't think that's possible. "
" *SIGH*. " a very large, sad, and loud sigh came from behind them.
Both demi-saiyajins turned around.
" This can't be right. " Vegeta said in a monotone voice while staring the ground, " It can't be. He begged me to
come to this tournament. Why would he want me here if he was just planning to leave? Did he think I wouldn't be able to
believe it if I learned about it from someone else? I worked so hard! I was so nice to that big baka, how could he do this.
DON'T YOU THINK I CARE AT ALL!!! " the ouji screamed at the ground with his eyes squinted, then let out an groan and leaned
against the side of the wall, frustratingly clutching his chest and letting out short growls every once in a while.
" Well, I have to say in all my years of announcing I've never seen anything battle end that bizarre before. " the
announcer said into his microphone while looking off into the direction Goku had flown off with Uubu in, " I guess since both
fighters have left the arena for more than the 10 second count, they're both disqualified. I mean, I think so, we've never
had a situation quite like this before. " he adjusted his sunglasses, confused of what to do next, " Oh well! In that case,
let's move onto the next battle! Seeing as Captain Chicken and Kirano have both fled for some reason or another, the next
battle will be between Son Goten and Mr. Buu! Son Goten is the second-born child of Son Chi-Chi and Son Goku--the man who
just flew off into the horizon out there. Mr. Buu is the chubby pink blob who is also Hercule's number 1 student! This is
sure to be a battle to remember! "
" BUU! WE LOVE YOU BUU!! " one of the girls in the stands held up a large sign saying "Go Buu!" on it along with the
girls around her who were all cheering for him.
" Ahh, what a pleasure it is to receive such praise from you lovely ladies. " Buu had smushed his face into the
bishounen-type expression he had seen in the magazines. The girls squealed.
Goten cocked an eyebrow at him, disturbed, " You are so weird, you know that Buu? "
Buu's face popped back to normal, " Buu not weird. Buu is special! " he grinned, " EVERYBODY CHEER FOR BUU! "
The two turned to walk out to the arena only to have someone walk past them in a slow pace. The figure sped up his
pace until he was all out running up onto the arena.
" V--Vegeta? " Goten blinked. The ouji ignored him and pointed his arms out behind his back as he ran directly across
the arena with a determined look on his face only to bounce at the edge of the platform and flew off in the direction Goku
and Uubu had left in. Trunks paled.
" That's not good. "
" OUJI!! OUJI WHERE ARE YOU GOING!! " Chi-Chi shouted as she watched him fly away, " OHHHHH, " she spun around, " ONE
OF YOU GET OUT THERE AND STOP HIM BEFORE HE HURTS MY GO-CHAN!! "
" Relax Chi-Chi, Goku'll be oh-kay. " Kuririn said.
" He's right. Goku just indirectly dumped him infront of all of us. This isn't something we should meddle in. "
Piccolo added.
" WHAT DO YOU _MEAN_!! You talk about it like he was going steady with the Ouji! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, then paled,
" Oh my God, Goku hasn't been going steady with the Ouji behind my back has he? You morons would've told me, RIGHT!! " she
grabbed both Kuririn and Yamcha and shook them angrily.
" Why, are, you, shaking, me! I, didn't, do, anything!! " Yamcha exclaimed as he was being shook.
" Well--YOU'RE EASY TO RELEASE PENT-UP ANGER ON!! " Chi-Chi sputtered, dropping them both.
" I think Piccolo meant he was dumping Vegeta of his "little buddy" title, Chi-Chi. " Bulma interjected.
Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at her, " Fine. " she spat, " In that case, let the Ouji go and suffer and see that I was
right about how happy Go-chan would be without him. "
" Ka--Kakarroujo would NEVER really divorce Toussan, would she, Kaasan? " Bura looked on the verge of tears.
Bulma sighed, then looked back out at the horizon, " Poor Vegeta, I hope he didn't take it TOO hard. You know how he
always exaggerates how he's feeling. "
/dl
" WOW!! What a beautiful island!!! " Goku said in awe as he flew down and landed with Uubu still on his back. Uubu
hopped off.
" Yes, but we have very little food and water, so that is why we're wary of--- " Uubu froze as he suddenly noticed
an entire group of people with similar clothes on as himself standing around them in a circle and aiming with spears,
" --tresspassers. "
" Uubu! " one of the natives exclaimed, recognizing him. He put down his spear and walked over to him, " Uubu-kun,
you have returned! Is the tournament over? Did you win? "
" Well, it's a long story niichan. " Uubu laughed nervously.
The older man paled, " You, didn't win? "
" Sorry big brother, actually this man over here is the one I was fighting against in the first round. His name is
Son Goku and he says he wants to live here and train me to become stronger. " Uubu explained.
" He's got quite a bit of meat on him. " one of the hungry natives said, poking Goku in the side with the tip of her
spear. Goku sweatdropped.
" So you didn't win, Uubu. We could cook this guy up easy. " the man next to the girl said to Uubu and his brother.
" Umm, I didn't come here to be eaten. " Goku spoke up only to have the man point the spear at Goku's neck. The
large saiyajin gulped.
" Do you have any money? "
" No. " Goku squeaked out.
" Do you have any food or water with you? "
" No. "
" Then you're going to BECOME food. "
" Uhhh---Uubu? Hey Uubu? " Goku said nervously, looking out of the corner of his eyes as the spear pointed closer to
his neck.
" Oh MAN, Uubu! When mom gets here she's gonna go crazy after she learns that you ran off during the middle of the
budokai! They only hold those things every 3 YEARS! We'll all be dead by starvation by that time! " his older brother paced
back and forth.
" Is it true, Uubu? " a girl slightly smaller than Uubu sniffled.
" I'm sorry little sister. Sensei told me he wanted to train me, and I didn't really think I could win the fight
against him--he was so strong. But--he--he says he knows Hercule! He says he's Hercule's brother-in-law and he's going to
have Hercule lend us some money. " Uubu stammered.
Goku, meanwhile, was currently being tied up by the other natives, " Um, Uubu? Help? "
" UUBU!! UUBU!!! " an older woman's voice said joyfully as she ran from out of the brush over to him, " MY BABY!! "
she sobbed, hugging onto him tightly.
" Kaasan! " Uubu smiled. Uubu's brother and sister backed up nervously.
" He'll cook just nice over a good old fashioned open fire. " the old man of the group said as they tied the already
tied up Goku to a large wooden pole and held him on what looked like limbo-bar holders while other natives ran off to get
firewood.
" Help? Please? " Goku said.
" My wonderful little child! " Uubu's mother sobbed happily, then let go of him, " You've brought back the money to
save our village, right? "
" Well--actually--- " Uubu gulped. All 9 of his siblings plugged their ears, " MYOPPONENTSTOPPEDUSINTHEMIDDLEOFTHE-
-BATTLEANDSAIDHEWASGOINGTOCOMELIVEWITHUSANDTRAINMETOBEREALLYSTRONGANDPROTECTTHEEARTHANDIMNOTSUREWHATTHATMEANS!!!! "
" ... " the woman stared at him in shock, then yelled, " WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!! " she whipped around and furiously
stomped towards Goku, " Why you large hooligan! My son worked so hard to get into that tournament and you just up and kidnap
him back here! "
" I didn't kidnap him, lady. I was just gonna live here and teach him out to fight better. " Goku pouted.
" FIGHT BETTER!! YOU SIMPLEHEADED MORON! You can't kidnap young children, use some magical flying trick to fly them
over here and then expect to live in my house that's already feeding off of scraps because we don't have the money my Uubu
would've won to pay for our welfare! You sick twisted idiot! Where did you get the idea that you could DO such a thing! "
" But--but I knew he was gonna be there! " Goku pleaded, " He's the reborn Kid Buu who blew up the entire planet and
many others! But now since he's in this form he's forgotten his previous self and I want to help him pull on his inner energy
so that he could one day become a great warrior once everybody else is gone and I can go play outer-space adventures with
Veggie in his satellite without having to worry about the Earth's well-being. "
" ... "
The entire group of natives stared at him.
Uubu's mom slapped Goku sharply across the face, then pointed at him while she addressed her son, " Uubu where did
you dig up this lunatic! "
" I even had Buu--fat Buu who was the one who spawned Kid Buu who is now Uubu--fix the numbers so I could fight him!
I don't normally cheat so that's how important it was that I-- "
" *SLAP*-*SLAP*-*SLAP*!!! " Uubu's mother slapped him several more times.
" Oww... "
" Somebody go get a gag to shut him up! " she said, annoyed, " You want to help us you strange, furry-tailed man?
Well you can help us by being our dinner so we can all go to bed with semi-full stomachs! You're not right in the head! "
" But-but--- " Goku said as she left to go get her own spear, " Ohh....this isn't working out how I planned it at
all. "
" You probably should've brought the money with you on your way here. " Uubu nodded uneasily.
" Hm, yeah. Good point. " Goku said, deep in thought only to yelp as he felt something hot suddenly appear beneath
him.
" Ahh, the fire's started. How nice. " the old man said to the younger villagers who had just started it, " Now be
sure to turn him. "
" Shouldn't we skin him first? "
" No, wait til after he's cooked. The meat'll be more therough that way. "
" Hey--wait--stop! " Goku cried out as two of the villagers began to rotate the ends of the pole, " I'm not edible!
I probably don't taste very good anyway! Please stop! PLEASE! "
" *TANG*! " a shot rung through the air and instantly ripped a hole through the side of the rope tieing Goku up. The
saiyajin fell to the ground, then jumped to his feet realizing he had just been set on fire.
" YEOW!! HOT HOT HOT!! " Goku bounced on his rear up and down on the dirt until it was put out. His tail fur slightly
singed near the butt. He looked up in addition to the villagers in the direction the shot had come from and sweatdropped when
he recognized the little figure who had dressed up in a white cowboy outfit with a black mask over his eyes and was holding a
flouresant-colored pink watergun in his hand. He was also standing ontop of a kiddie-sized stick-horse and had a white
cowboy hat on his head, " Oh no... " Goku paled with worry, " It CAN'T be!!! "
" Who's the little furry-tailed wacko dressed up like a poor imitation of the Lone Ranger? " the old man said,
cocking the walking cane he had with him at the top of the cliff.
" DO NOT TOUCH THE PEASANT OR YOU SHALL ANSWER TO ME!!! " the figure exclaimed angrily, then teleported away.
" Veggie....? " Goku trailed off, looking up at the cliff. He let out a small sniffle.
" QUICK TIE HIM UP AGAIN BEFORE HE GETS AWAY!! " one of the villagers shouted. Goku shot to attention and ran off.
" Come on Uubu! We gotta hurry! " Goku grabbed Uubu by the wrist.
" Hurry? Hurry WHERE! You've dragged me into enough trouble today, Sensei! " Uubu shouted, confused and frightened.
Goku flew off into the air, then put his fingers on his forehead.
" Hold on tight, oh-kay! " Goku shouted at him.
" For what?! " Uubu gasped only to have them both teleport from the spot.
All the other villagers stared at where they had disappeared from in awe.
" The furry-tailed man must be a witch, or a demon! " another villager gasped.
" LET US HUNT HIM DOWN AND RETIEVE THE CHILD!! " a third yelled. The others hooted in agreement, grabbed their spears
and ran off to comb the island for Goku and Uubu.
/dl
Who were luckly now located on a different island five minutes away from the previous one.
" I can't believe you! " Uubu exclaimed as he paced inside the cave where the duo was hiding. Goku sat on the floor
cross-legged and watching him with a confused blank look on his face, " You insult me and my family, then you say you were
lying, THEN you tell me you're going to train me and give me money and LIVE with my ALREADY-PACKED family! AND NOW YOU KIDNAP
ME AGAIN!!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU _ARE_!!!! " he shouted in Goku's face.
" Why I'm Son Goku! " the saiyajin chirped happily. Uubu groaned and flopped down on his back on the floor.
" It's hopeless. I'm not even sure I want to train anymore. "
" Wha~~? " Goku gawked, " Hey--you can't do that! The Earth's gonna need you a whole lot when I'm gone! "
" And WHERE are you going again? " Uubu demanded from on his back in a tireder-sounding voice, " Out into deep space
with a bunch of vegetables! "
" No--not "vegetables", Veggie. " Goku corrected him, then smiled warmly, " Veggie's *special* to me. "
" Uh-huh. " Uubu said lamely.
" Aw, don't sound that way. I didn't mean to get you all mad. " Goku frowned, " I got it! " he snapped his fingers,
" What if I show you what some of my power can do? "
" Other than ruin my day and possibly the entire next 3 years of my life? " Uubu replied.
" Heehee! " Goku grinned, then formed a ball of ki. Uubu turned his head towards the yellow light and gawked in
surprise.
" What's THAT!? Your hand's on fire!!! "
" NoooooOOOoooo, this is ki! The body's natural energy. I have a lot of it! When you can harness your ki you can form
it into a ball like this. OR you could use it to heal people--like Dende. OR you could use it to make clothes--like Piccolo!"
Goku rattled off cheerfully.
" You're kidding?! " Uubu's jaw hung open.
" Nope! If I was kidding then how could I do THIS! " Goku then formed 2 more ki balls and began to juggle them.
" Wow, is--is that safe? To, juggle them like that? " Uubu asked.
" I have no idea! " Goku grinned dumbly. Uubu paled.
" Oh. I'll just, sit over here then. " Uubu said, wandering over to the far side of the cave.
" There's no reason to worry! " Goku laughed, then reabsorbed the ki back into his hands, " Here, " he said, pulling
two capsules out of his gi pants pocket and pressing the buttons on them, then tossing them to the ground where in a puff of
smoke they revealed two sleeping bags, Goku's orange one and a child-sized one for Uubu, " Now we can me comfy for the night,
it is gonna get dark real soon, your islands must be closer to the moon than where the budokai was. "
" Uh, right. " Uubu said, getting into the smaller green sleeping-bag that had been tossed opposite the side of the
cave where Goku was. The boy felt a sudden uneasyness overcome him for a second as if someone had been sneaking up on them
out of the corner of his eye. He shook it off and went to sleep, following Goku's example.
Meanwhile the little figure Uubu had thought he'd seen was presently creeping into the cave with a big evil grin on
his face.
" Heh-heh-heh... " the figure snickered, pulling out a blue sleeping-bag from behind his back and layed it down close
to the large saiyajin, then snuggled inside the sleeping-bag, " Goodnight.............Kakarrotto. "
/dl
" *YAWN*!! " Uubu let out a yawn as he woke up, his body practically programed to get up early due to all the
training he had preparing the budokai. He sighed as the past day's events quickly recollected in his mind. Uubu looked
sleepily across the cave at Goku only to nearly let out a yelp of fright at the fact that there was now an additional
sleeping-bag with an additional person inside it.
" S-s--s---s-s-s-s-Sensei. " he squeaked out nervously.
The small figure in the blue sleeping-bag cocked his head up, drowsy, " Why hello, you better go back to sleep, we'll
all need our rest and it's way to early to be up. " he snickered, a tail identical to Goku's flickering in the air out of the
tip of his sleepingbag.
" Who are you? And what are you doing here! " Uubu said a little more boldly.
" Oh, I'm just an observer for now. " the figure yawned, then went back to sleep. The back of Uubu's head hit the
pillow. He seriously considered sneaking out of the cave now and running back to the village, leaving his sensei and the
mysterious little figure alone there, ::Surely Sensei can defeat him, but, what if that man kills sensei in his sleep! It
would be all my fault if I left him to die. No, I must wait for him to wake up::
/dl
3 Hours Later...
" Heehee, heeheehee... " Goku let out soft little giggles in his sleep. He was partially awake with his eyes still
closed, " It feels like something's tickling my nose, heehee, and it smells just like Veggie. " he laughed, then paused and
opened his eyes to see the tip of a large tuft of black hair peeping underneath his nose. Goku's eyes widened in shock. He
sat up immediantly, " VEGGIE!!? " the large saiyajin flipped the figure in the blue sleeping-bag over to his side and gawked
to see Vegeta sleeping there, letting out a few snores at random times. The smaller saiyajin had fluffed his bangs over so
they were visible again, " Awww....Veggie.... " Goku said, touched at the sleepy expression on the snoring ouji's face,
" Just look how cute you are in your lil Veggie-sized sleeping-bag and with those kawaii little veggie-bangs that you know I
love so much on you....................waitaminute? What's VEGGIE doing HERE?! I'm HOURS away from his house!!!! Veggie!
Veggie wake up! " Goku shook the smaller saiyajin.
" Huh-wah? " Vegeta said, dazed.
" Veggie, what're you DOING here! " the ouji heard Goku's voice exclaim from his right.
Vegeta turned his head towards Goku and gave a tried smile, " So, you remember my name after all, eh? "
The larger saiyajin looked at him, distraught, " Oh little Veggie, I would never forget you! " he smiled warmly, then
thought for a moment, " Heck, NOBODY could forget you even if they tried! "
Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Well, I guess they could. Maybe if they had Alzhiemer's disease...but forgeting about Veggies isn't something you
do normally. "
" Heh-heh-heh, you know, for a while there I thought I'd never find you again, with all these islands you could've
ran off to. " Vegeta commented.
" Ugh, Veggie you're not supposed to be here! " Goku groaned, " Little Veggie you KNOW I would've brought you along
if I could've but the thing is I can't! "
" ... " the ouji stared at him blankly, tilting his head slightly to the left.
" Awwwwwww, Veggiesocute. " the larger saiyajin said w/big sparkily eyes, then gave Vegeta a quick hug and got up,
" Come on Uubu, I saw a forest as we were flying over to the cave, we can start your training down there. "
" Uhh, oh-kay. " Uubu said as he got up from just laying on the ground for the past 3 hours, wide-awake. He gulped at
Vegeta, who was sending death-glares in his direction, " Umm, so he's just going to..stay here, right? "
" Of course I'm not! " Vegeta exclaimed, getting up out of his sleeping bag, " I didn't come looking for Kakarrotto
all this way to sit in this smelly, now-kaka-scented cave! "
" But Veggie I CAN'T spar with you, I came here to train Uubu! " Goku sighed.
" I didn't say I wanted to spar. " the smaller saiyajin replied, then smirked, " I'm just planning to play 'tourist'
and follow you there. "
" Oh...... " Goku said, as if enlightened, " Just like a puppy!! " he grinned.
Vegeta fell over, " NO, NOT LIKE A PUPPY!!! " the ouji's face turned bright red, " Like an observer, a watchful eye.
You know.... " he trailed off.
" ...like a puppy! " Goku chirped again.
A vein bulged on the ouji's forehead.
" Well alright little Veggie, if you're just going to sit there and watch us and be a good little Veggie then I don't
see why not. " Goku said happily, " Say, does anybody else know you're here? " he asked curiously.
" Nope. "
" Oh. Does anyone else know I'm here? "
" Nope. "
" .....huh. " the larger saiyajin said outloud, deep in thought. " Oh well! " Goku smiled.
Vegeta and Uubu sweatdropped.
" Come on guys! Let's go! " the large saiyajin said, jumping off the cliff and flying off in the direction of the
forest. Vegeta shrugged and followed him, leaving Uubu alone on the cliff.
" Err, Sensei! Excuse me! Umm, I CAN'T FLY!!! " Uubu screamed.
Goku paused in mid-flight, " Oh yeah, " he flew over to Uubu, " Heh-heh, sorry about that. " he grabbed him and flew
off again.
Uubu twitched. Goku was whistling some cheery little tune, oblivious to the world. Vegeta was sending death-glares a
mile a minute at the small boy, Uubu twitched again, " Somehow I have the feeling this is going to be a very strange day. "

2:07 PM 5/16/2003
END OF PART ONE!
Chuquita: And so ends the first part to the parodying of a part of dbz which ended before it had a chance to make an episode
for me to completely parody the middle and ending to this chapter of.
Vegeta: That made absoultely no sense at all.
Chuquita: (grins) That it didn't!
Goku: But we luv it anyway!
Chuquita: Actually since this is only a two-part story, I ironically have two alternate endings for this slightly alternate
dbz ending.
Goku: Yeah, Veggie could've run after me like he did the last time I ditched him at a budokai, it could happen. (smiles
sweetly at Veggie) In't that right lil-lil Veggie who luvs me so much!
Vegeta: (snorts)
Goku: Heehee!
Vegeta: (grumbles) It's a good thing my Toussan can't see your annoyingness from up there. [signals to throne]
Bardock: I don't think he can see anything from up there.
Celipa: (sitting in what would've been Bejito's seat had he not brought his throne in) Yah, I'd be surprised if he hasn't
gotten a nosebleed yet from how high up he is.
Goku: (grins) My Mommy's here! HI MOMMY!! [waves to Celi]
Celipa: Hi Kakarrotto! (waves back)
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Hoo-boy, now we've got 3/4ths of the Kaka-family in the room.
Bardock: (to Veggie) Raditsu's still mad about being tricked so he's outside the building grumbling to himself.
Raditsu: (outside the building) (grumbling) I CAN HEAR YOU!! (goes back to grumbling)
Goku: A-mazing! (happily) Who wants fish! [holds up fish]
Chuquita: (blinks in surprise) Is that one still alive?
Goku: Yeah, I think so. (looks at fish, then back at Chu) But they're pretty fun to swallow whole--the littler ones anyway.
They wiggle all the way down your throat!
Vegeta: (turns pale green)
Celipa: Barudokku (A/N: Thank you for his full name, Miyanon! :) ) and I met each other over a fish!
Vegeta: (looks over at Son who is gumming the fish he brought) (dryly) For some odd reason I'm not surprised.
Bardock: Unlike Earth, on Bejito-sei we swim with our training uniforms on to provide futher protection.
Vegeta: (nods) Hai, I know about that. (grumbles at Goku) ...you nudist.
Goku: (cocks his head to attention)
Bardock: We were both underwater chasing this gigantic fish from opposite directions, but we didn't know each other was
there.
Celipa: We're still not sure if it was me or Bardock who knocked the fish unconsious.
Bardock: Then we started to pull the dead fish from either end until we both had to surface and were shocked to see someone
else on the other end of the fish, and someone who was equal in strength to each other.
Celipa: We got out of the water, ate the fish, talked a little while we ate and decided to go fishing again together another
time, seeing as the first was by accident.
Goku: (smiles) And they had Raditsu and me and lived happily ever after!
Bardock: Until I got blown up and Freeza sent some of his henchman to kill Celipa and some of our friends.
Goku: Oh yeah.....I forgot about those parts.....well, they had Raditsu and me and lived SEMI-happily ever after!
Chuquita: I guess that works.
Vegeta: Kakarrotto's parents fell in love over a fish, figures. (to Goku) And Bardock's right, when we wrestle giant fish on
Bejito-sei we KEEP OUR CLOTHES ON!
Goku: (proudly) I cannot help it if I am comfortable with my body. Infact, I'm HAPPY to be in this body! [thumps his chest]
Vegeta: Ugh. (twitches)
Chuquita: I'm worried about how that's gonna translate to those 4 live-action movies they're gonna be making.
Vegeta: (pales) Oh God I don't want to bring up my fears about having some baka human portray me in a theatrical release
again!
Chuquita: ...what?
Bardock: That's a good question.
Goku: And here's a good answer! :)
...
...
...
Bardock: (confused) That wasn't an answer, that was three lines of periods.
Goku: ...I know! :D
Bardock: (sweatdrops)
Chuquita: At least I know a little bit more about the movie. They're making a saiyajin, freeza, cell, and buu movie (one for
each villain). (A/N: I'd still like to see an original-plotline dbz movie instead) And we all know it's FOX who's doing it.
I heard Toriyama was going to be part of the main team but got cut out because he wanted an all-japanese cast (which I
wouldn't have minded) but that's only a rumor. The movie's also been delayed from the summer of 2004 to the summer of 2005.
Either way, the idea of somebody dressed up like Son-kun or Veggie walking down the street seems pretty spooky to me.
Goku: I can't wait to see live-Veggie's furry tail!
Vegeta: (admires his own tail) It IS a beauty, isn't it. [pats his tail]
Bardock: (rolls his eyes) Oh brother!...
Celipa: You don't HAVE a brother.
Bardock: Oh DON'T I....
Celipa: ...
Bardock: (sighs) No, you're right. I don't.
Chuquita: Anyway, I also heard that for the cgi characters (Majin Buu forms, among others) they're using George Lucas (the
star wars guy)'s cgi company to do that. FOX is thinking of just calling the movie "Dragonball Z" or "Dragonball Z: The Fight
for Mankind".
Goku: (blinks) What about womankind?
Vegeta: And saiyajinkind.
Goku: And puppykind.
Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) "Puppykind", Kakarrotto?
Goku: Yeah, you know, Bee. Buu's yellow lab puppy.
Vegeta: Ah, yes. The dog.
Chuquita: My gramma has a yellow lab, but the puppy got really chubby when it grew up, just like Bee did. (sweatdrops)
Goku: What about your puppy?
Chuquita: (looks over her shoulder at her beagle, Snoopy) Eh, he sleeps, eats, poops, and plays. Sleeping mostly.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Sounds like Kakarrotto, only with less 'playing'
Goku: (squeals) I like to play!
Vegeta: (ears ringing in pain) That..you do......
Chuquita: (to audiance) We'll see you in part 2, everybody!
Celipa: Goodbye!
Bardock: (waves casually) Bye!
Vegeta: (groans) Oh GOD, my ears hurt.
Goku: Heeheehee~! (to audiance) Remember, a Veggie is a Veggie unless it is something else!

Quote of the Week: -from Shounen Jump #6
Veggie: Why don't you guys go home and drink some milk or something...and stay out of my way.
Kuririn: Drink milk, my butt....
Chuey's Corner:
Goku: Heehee, hey Veggie, "got milk?"
Vegeta: (narrows his eyes)
Chuquita: (snickers) Hahaha, sorry Veggie, it's just such a funny insult that I couldn't help it.
Goku: (grins) It does a body good!
Vegeta: (snorts) What did I know, this was back when I had only been on Earth for not even 3 years straight and all I did
most of the time was train! You can't absorb an entire planet's culture within a mere 3 years of doing nothing but train and
visit Kakarrotto's house.
Goku: (smirk) I bet little Veggie didn't even know what milk was when he said that, did he?
Vegeta: I did TO! (boastfully) Milk is an edible liquid white-ish substance produced by the utters of farm cattle.
Goku: (cheerfully) Ooh, little Veggie is all scientific to-day!
Vegeta: (snicker) Hai.
Chuquita: Today we have two special guests with us, each played a part in helping create the two saiyajins sitting here.
Son-kun's Toussan, Bardock; and Veggie's Toussan, King Bejito.
Bardock: (sitting back in his seat) (casually waves) Hi.
King Bejito: (lets out aggrivated sigh as he stands infront of his chair)
Goku: Problem, Veggie's Daddy?
King Bejito: I'm waiting for my chair to arrive.
Nappa: (from enterance door to the studio) YOUR HIGHNESS YOUR THRONE WON'T FIT THROUGH THE DOOR! IT'S TOO BIG!!
King Bejito: It's not to big, the door's just too small. (nods thoughtfully)
Queen Ruby: (also trying to push the throne through the door) Listen Bej, it's not working! It really IS too big!
Raditsu: Why am _I_ having to do this! _I'M_ not a royal guard!!!
King Bejito: (to Raditsu) Would you like to be one? You get a badge. [holds out shiny gold badge, then pins it to Raditsu's
armor]
Raditsu: Cool.
King Bejito: Yes....now get back to pushing!
Raditsu: (sweatdrops) Aw....KUSO!
Goku: Many a person has been swayed by the shinyness of a metal object.
Bardock: I happen to like my chair. (spins around)
Goku: (watches him spin, then grins and spins his chair also) WHEE!!!!
Chuquita: ... (shrugs) Oh what the heck. (also spins her chair)
Vegeta: Ugh, bakas. (gets up and walks over to where his father is pulling the chair while the other saiyajins push it in)
Here Toussan. (goes ssj2, grabs chair and easily pulls it into the studio while making a big gaping hole in the wall)
Queen Ruby: (looks up at giant gaping hole) Wow.
Nappa: Wow indeed.
Raditsu: (takes off his badge) Stupid...*grumble*...tricking me with the stupid shinyness of this *grumble*.... [walks over
to Son] Hey little brother, how'd YOU like to be a 'royal guard'.
Goku: (stops spinning) (big grin) OOH! YAY!!!
Vegeta: AHH! NO!!!
Raditsu: (pins it to Son's gi shirt) There ya go. Have fun. (walks off while his hands twitch in pain from all the pushing)
Goku: (looks at his badge) It's so prettttttty. (perks up) HEY! This means I get to guard VEGGIE now!.....OFFICALLY! I do
like being offical.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Your an offical SOMETHING alright. [finishes pushing the throne to the desk] There. (to Beji) Say
Toussan, you didn't happen to bring my throne to, did you? (slight cheesy grin)
King Bejito: No, actually I didn't. (sweatdrops)
Vegeta: (sighs) Oh.
Bardock: (looking up at the throne) I tell ya, I wouldn't wanna sit up that high. You'd get a nose-bleed up there.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) I can't even see the top of it.
Goku: Maybe we should throw up some signal flares for him to tell him when the story starts.
Bardock: I have signal flares. [pulls some out of his pocket]
Goku: OOooooOOOoh! I WANT ONE!
Vegeta: NO YOU DON'T!! (to Bardock) DON'T GIVE HIM ANY! Kakarrotto and explosives are a dangerous combination!!!
Goku: (wiggling his fingers anxiously) Gimmie-gimmie-gimmie-gimmie-gimmie-gimmie-gimmie-gimmie-gimmie----
Bardock: Sure.
Vegeta: (freaks out) NO!!!
Bardock: But when the chapter starts and ends, if we send up too many we'll light the roof on fire.
Chuquita: I really don't feel like having to evacuate everybody if that happens.
Goku: (chirps) Aw, don't worry, I'll hose down the roof if we have to! (big grin) I'm OFFICAL, you know. (points to his
badge)
Vegeta: (groans) Oh dear God....
Goku: (doesn't hear Veggie) It's such a shiny badge too....
King Bejito: (approaches his throne) ... (walks back to the others) Any of you have a very tall ladder?
Goku: OOH! ME! [magically holds out 5-story-high ladder]
King Bejito: Hm. Well, that was convienent. [leans ladder against throne and climbs up]
Chuquita: Speaking of up, today's fic has to do with what happened after Son-kun and Uubu sailed up into the sky--
Vegeta: --ABANDONING ME. [sends guilty glare at Son]
Goku: (sniffle) Poor Vedge'ums... (hugs Veggie)
Bardock: (dryly) (to Veggie) You're a sneaky one, aren't you?
Vegeta: Heh. (big grin)
Chuquita: Today's fic deals with stuff that happened during the last episode of dbz and what happened to Goku & Uubu after
it. Only after leaving the rest of the crew, a jilted-feeling Veggie decides to fly off after them and retrieve his title of
Son-kun's "little buddy" from Uubu. We also get to meet the odd people living in Uubu's village on that little tropical
island in the south seas.
Goku: Haha! It's a Veggieplotting, sunbathing, tropical adventure! (grins) And I get to be a sensei!
Vegeta: (twitches) I pity the guy who gets YOU for a teacher.
Goku: EEE~~~!
Chuquita: (happily) Here we go!
Summary: NO ONE dumps the saiyajin no ouji as his little buddy and gets away with it. At least, that's what Vegeta thinks.
After Goku takes off with Uubu at the end of dbz, Veggie does some thinking, reflecting, and decides the best option would be
to destroy Uubu and regain the position he values so dearly. How is he planning on doing it? Will Veggie EVER leave Goku
alone? Will Goku even find out what the ouji is up to? Find out!
Chuquita: Wanna know something ironic? In japanese, "grampa" is "ojichan".
Goku: Haha! Now there's TWO oujis! Me AND Veggie!
Vegeta: (grumbles) SHE SAID "OJI--", NOT "OUJI", baka...
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" I'm number 1! I'm number 1! Woowoowoo! Yeahyeahyeah! " chibi Pan sang as she bounced off the Budokai stage and into
the small building holding the fighters. She ran up to Goku, " Did you see me beat him Ojichan! I knocked him out so fast!
I was kickin and punchin and BAM he landed flat on his face! " she said excitedly.
" Hai! You did a really good job, Panny! " Goku grinned, giving her a hug. The 4 year old chibi laughed.
" After the tournament is over, let's go get some more ice-cream! "
" Yeah! " Goku exclaimed, " Chocolate ice-cream! With fudge! And hot fudge! And lots and lots of whipped cream and
rainbow sprinkles and cherries and-- "
" --*A-HEM*! " a loud, attention-getting cough came from directly above them. Goku cocked his head up slightly to see
Vegeta staring down at him suspiciously not even a half-foot away from the larger saiyajin's face. Goku sweatdropped at the
ouji's expression, then laughed at him, surprising Vegeta, " And Veggie can have ice-cream with us too! " he added.
" HOORAY!! " chibi Pan cheered. She glanced up at Vegeta also, " Ojichan says you really like strawberry ice-cream,
Uncle Veggie! "
" Uh..huh... " Vegeta sweatdropped, then tugged on Goku's light blue gi, " Kakarrotto I need to talk to you for a
moment. As much as I'd hate to tear you away from the first Kaka-spawned creature that has absolutely none of Onna's
personality traits; this is important. "
" Whatever you say little Veggie. " Goku smiled, then let go of Pan and followed the smaller saiyajin around the
corner of the building. He looked down the dark hallway to see there was a turned on filmstrip machine, a little stool, and
a pointer, " Oooh, slideshow! " the large saiyajin chirped as he sat down, " I hope this doesn't take too long, little Veggie
, I'm due out for the second match in five minutes. " he glanced back down the hallway they came from.
" Oh, don't worry about that. I'm sure you'll easily win anyway, Kaka-chan. " the ouji smirked, picking up the
pointer in one hand and a little machine with a button in it in the first. He pressed the button allowing the first slide to
show up; a graph of the Budokai contestants similar to the one displayed when they were choosing their numbers, " Now, while
your little kaka-eagerness to fight this 'reincarnated kid buu' has placed me in a spot over here that lessens the chances of
us getting a battle, I have figured out the three most obvious finalists. "
The larger saiyajin sweatdropped, " Umm, Veggie? "
" And those finalists are you, me, and the Kaka-girl. " Vegeta pressed a button again showing his predictions of what
would happen; showing Pan defeating Goten in the next round and moving up to face Goku. In the other half it showed Vegeta
defeating Trunks. Seeing as some of the contestants had fled after seeing Pan's power, this left the ouji as the only one on
his side of the board.
" "Kaka-girl"? " Goku cocked his head, confused.
" Naturally while she is strong, you shall easily defeat the little Kaka-girl in the next round and we shall face
each other in the CHAMPIONSHIPS!! " Vegeta almost grinned happily, " Just imagine when all those humans see our TRUE saiyajin
strength on the battlefield! AND after the fight is over we can go buy the video and I can watch myself beat your kaka-tush
into the ground until you are unconsious again and again and again! "
" Aww, that's nice and all, Veggie, but---........"Kaka-girl"? " he stopped one more time to check.
" Yes. That. " Vegeta pointed over to Pan, who was now hyperactively bouncing around the room while singing out of
tune.
" ONE FISH, TWO FISH, RED FISH, BLUE FISH, LALALA, I LIKE EAT THEM ALL! "
" ... " Vegeta looked back over at Goku, who smiled proudly.
" I taught her that one! "
" That's a Dr. Seuss book title, you baka. Not a song! " Vegeta twitched, frustrated.
" Oh. "
" ... "
" ... "
" ...when has little Veggie been reading Dr. Seuss? " Goku looked at him, baffled.
" DOHHH!! NEVERMIND THAT! " Vegeta snapped, " Now go out there and defeat that little mohalked child and get back
here so we can go get a snack before the finals. " he pushed Goku out of the corridor.
The larger saiyajin stood still, watching a nervous Uubu peering out of the building to wear the arena was. He turned
back around to face the smaller saiyajin and bent down, then grabbed Vegeta and pulled him into a tight hug while sniffling
slightly as he did so.
Vegeta's face turned a bright red color. The mushy fog that had entered his brain suddenly cleared when he noticed
that Goku had been holding on for way too long. The ouji choked down his own spit, then spoke up, " Umm, Kakay? "
" I luv you little buddy Veggie 'o mine. " Goku rubbed his eyes, then pulled away so the ouji couldn't tell he was
crying, " Don't you ever let anyone change you on me oh-kay? Cuz--cuz everybody else, they get old and gray, but not Veggie.
Veggie'll still be the same when I get back, right? " he put his hands on Vegeta's shoulders.
" Aw, come off it, baka. You're only going to be out there for 10 minutes, tops. " Vegeta said stubbornly, avoiding
eye-contact.
The larger saiyajin sniffled, smiling at him, " Veggies so brave. " Goku let go, then turned around and walked back
into the other room leading out to the arena. He held his hand out to shake Uubu's, " Hi! My name's Son Goku! I guess we're
up next, huh? "
" Uh, right. " Uubu nervously shook Goku's hand.
The little ouji around the corner visibly paled, " I got a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. "
" Let's go then! We can't be late! " Goku chriped, running out of the room and slowing down to a jog as he reached
the arena steps. Uubu walked out after him.
" Hmm... " Vegeta peered from over behind the large square with the tournament's kanji written on its front. He
hopped onto his toes and pulled himself up to see better, then sent an un-noticed death-glare at Trunks and Goten, who had
recently entered the people-who-are-taller-than-Vegeta club. The only members left to pass him in stature were Marron, Bura,
and Pan, ::All little girls:: the ouji twitched in annoyment.
" WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TO THE SECOND ROUND OF THE 26TH TENKAICHI BUDOKAI! FACING OFF IN THIS ROUND WILL BE
ONE OF OUR REOCCURING COMPETITORS AND PREVIOUS CHAMPION IN THE 23RD TENKAICHI BUDOKAI, SON GOKU!! HE'LL BE FIGHTING AGAINST
NEWCOMER, A 10 YEAR OLD BOY NAMED UUBU! UUBU COMES FROM A SMALL VILLAGE ON ONE OF THE TROPICAL SOUTHERN ISLANDS! HE'S HERE TO
WIN MONEY TO BUY HIS VILLAGE FOOD!! GIVE IT UP FOR THEM BOTH!! " the announcer, just as loud as ever, blared over his
microphone.
" Heeheehee, heeheehee, heeheeheeheeheehee! " Goku eagerly bounced inside his boots, ::Oh BOY! It's actually
happening! I'm getting to fight Kid Buu--AGAIN!!:: he grinned, " ALRIGHT UUBU! LET'S GO!!! " the saiyajin struck a fighting
position.
" ......I....I......ohhh.... " Uubu looked around nervously, " How am I supposed to fight that guy--he's so big!! But
I can't let my friends and family down......but, but I heard he's one of the best competitors in this whole tournament, and
he's WON it before!! Ohhhhhhh.... " he panically muttered to himself.
" ... " Goku blinked at his opponent, who was shivering like a leaf. The saiyajin sweatdropped, " Aw man! If he stays
that scared I'm NEVER gonna get him to fight me at his best! There's got to be SOME way to unlease his full power... "
/dl
Several days ago:
:::" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! " Vegeta laughed as he ran out of the Son home to where Goku was standing, " Look at THIS,
Kakarrotto! " he snickered, " Onna has a GRAY HAIR. " the ouji said in a sing-song voice.
" HEEEEYAAAAAAH!!!! " a fist came flying through the thick wall, nearly missing Vegeta's head by a few inches, " EVIL
LITTLE OUJI!!! GIVE THAT BACK!!!! " Chi-Chi roared from behind the wall her fist had just pummeled through.
" Gladly. " the ouji said cooley, letting the hair flutter out of his hand. Chi-Chi grabbed it it her fist and calmed
down. She reached out to pull her arm back in, only to freeze when she found it stuck, " .....uh-oh......CURSE YOU OUJI!!! ":
::
/dl
" YEAH! That's it! I'll pull a Veggie and make him really really mad!!!! " Goku grinned, proud of his idea, then
turned to Uubu and smirked, " HEY, MR. NO-SHIRT-NO-SHOES-NO-SERVICE!!! I really had you fooled! I'm not really a good person
at all! I'm EEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeevvvvvvvvVVVVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllLLLLLLLL!! JUST LIKE LITTLE VEGGIE BACK
THERE THINKS HE IS!!! " he pointed to where the competitors were standing, " And I'm gonna chop you into little bity pieces
and send you home in one of those baggies you pack picnic sandwiches in! And then I'm gonna light all the Earthling on fire
an they'll run around screaming 'oh no we're on fire'! And then I'm gonna BLOW EVERYTHING UP!! " he waved his arms in the
air.
" ... " Uubu stared at him blankly, " ? "
Goku frowned, recognizing nothing he had just said worked, " Ohhh....what would Veggie say? " he pouted, rubbing his
chin in deep thought, " AH! " he turned back to a very confused Uubu.
::I thought they said he was supposed to be one of the friendliest fighters in the budokai:: Uubu thought to himself.
" Ahh, heh-heh. " Goku snickered, " YO, BAKA!!! "
Uubu froze in place.
" YEAH YOU HEARD ME YOU, YOU BAKA BRAINDEAD _HUMAN_!! HA, I'VE SEEN SQURRELS WITH HIGHER I.Q'S; better fashion sense
too. You look like you just came from someplace that makes really really bad clothing. Well whoever they are they probably
did your hair too! BOY is that the UGLIEST haircut I've ever seen. I bet it's just as ugly as the rest of the money-grubbers
in your puny little earth-village where you all sit around and taste each others dung! I bet the only thing uglier than that
are the two bakayaroes who spawned you! "
" DON'T YOU INSULT MY PARENTS! OR MY VILLAGE! OR MY TASTE IN OUTERWEAR!!! " Uubu yelled angrily, his ki flying
though the roof.
::Wow, look it him go! Now that he's riled up this is gonna be the best fight EVER!!:: Goku thought in anticipation.
The large saiyajin suddenly paused as he felt a little tug on his gi belt. Goku looked down to see the smaller saiyajin
standing next to him and staring up at him with big sparkily gooey eyes. The larger saiyajin almost fell over, " Ve--VEGGIE!
What're you DOING out here! "
" I've never seen you, insult the humans before.... " the ouji squeaked out in a little voice.
" Aww, little Veggie that was just me lieing to get Uubu's full power out in the open. " Goku laughed nervously, then
began to push Vegeta off the platform and back down the steps to the waiting spot, " And as cute as Veggie looks with his
eyes all big-n-pretty like that, it's against the rules for him to be up on the platform when his fight isn't up yet. " Goku
scooted Vegeta back to where he was standing, " Now Veggie stay here while I go fight Uubu. I'll be back to see you, I
promise. " he said warmly.
" So, you WERE lying to the shoe-less kid just now. " Vegeta said slowly, back to normal.
" Yes. " Goku nodded.
" Hm.. " Vegeta nodded in agreement, then took a deep breath and pulled out a megaphone, " HERE THAT ONNA! KAKAY SAYS
HE'S GOING TO SET YOU ON FIRE AND THEN DESTROY THE PLANET WHILE KAKAY AND I SHIP OFF INTO THE GALAXY TOGETHER!!! "
" WHAT?! " Chi-Chi screamed from up in the booth with the other senshi.
" Veggie give me that! " Goku shrieked, taking Vegeta's megaphone away from him, " Cut that out I'm trying to fight
a match over here! " he walked over to Trunks and handed him the megaphone, " Here Trunks, hold onto this til Veggie starts
behaving like a good little Veggie again because he's punished. "
" What---you can't punish me! I'm not your child! I'm not even related to you you big bakayaro!! " Vegeta exclaimed,
embarassed as Goku headed back to the arena.
" Uncle Veggie, if it makes you feel any better you can play with my yo-yo for a little while. " Pan said, smiling up
at him while holding a bright red yo-yo.
" No. I don't want to play yo-yo right now. " Vegeta snorted, folding his arms in a stubborn pout. Pan shrugged, put
her yo-yo away, and began playing jump-rope with Vegeta's tail.
" Cinderella, dressed in yella, went downstairs to meet her fella, on her way she got bit by a snake, how many
seconds will it take! 1, 2, 3, 4... " Pan sang as she jump-roped with the furry appendage.
Pan's singing, while very close, was soon blurred out into the back of Vegeta's mind as he, Trunks, Goten, and the
others watched Goku battle against Uubu.
" Oh he's Buu alright. No doubt about it. " Piccolo smirked wryly.
" And Enma-sama really complied with Goku's wish to fight him again and brought him back in the form of a small human
boy? " Dende paled.
" Kakarroujo once told me that if you try real hard and believe in yourself, all your wishes will come true! " Bura
mused, " No wonder Toussan luvs him so much! "
" Oh SHADDUP, Ouji-spawn! " Chi-Chi snapped at her.
" Toussan said he found a gray hair on your head when he and Kaasan visited Kakarroujo's house a couple days ago. Is
that true? " Bura said almost mockingly.
" I swear if there weren't other people around I would-- " Chi-Chi gritted her teeth, threatening.
" --hit me with your walking cane? " Bura laughed.
" THAT'S IT!! " she yelled angrily, standing up and grabbing her chair she marched towards Bura. Chi-Chi would've
finished her march had not an irrepressible fit of laughter erupted from the arena. The gang peered down to see Goku had just
been slammed into the floor of the arena and was grinning like a maniac. He lept to his feet and began a wild fist-fight with
Uubu.
" Heh, he's enjoying every minute of it. Son-kun you're crazy. " Piccolo muttered.
Uubu ran at Goku with a powerful kick, launching him into the air and out of the arena. The rest of the group gasped
in surprise, then in shock as Goku floated in the air grinning and wagging his tail happily behind him as if waiting for the
next attack. Uubu's jaw hung gaping open as he stared up at Goku. The large saiyajin paused, then flew down to him.
" Aw, you haven't learned to fly again yet, huh? " he mildly frowned.
" F-f--fly?! " Uubu's eyes bulged out of his head.
" Hey! I have to admit though, you put up a great fight! Even better than I ever expected! " Goku fully landed on the
ground, " I have to apologize for earlier. If I hadn't gotten you mad, you never would've faught that well. Your anger
overcame your fear. " he nodded while smiling.
" Umm, tha--thank you Goku-san. " Uubu bowed slightly. Vegeta narrowed his eyes and put his hand over his right ear,
allowing him to better hear what the larger saiyajin was saying through the portara earrings bond.
" That's why I'd like you be my new pupil! Whadda ya say! " Goku exclaimed, " I could come back and live with you and
your family on the tropical island and I could help you bring out your TRUE POWER!!! "
" ... " Uubu blinked at him, " Uh, Goku-san? I, really don't think that will work. "
" What? Why not? " Goku frowned.
" Because, my family--my entire village--is POOR! The weather is so hot down there that, while we all do enjoy the
luxury of gaining 5-star tans, there is little water and our crops have nearly all dried up. That's why I came to fight here.
I need the money to buy food to bring back to my village. " Uubu said sadly.
" Aww, don't worry about that! " Goku perked up, " I'll have Hercule give send us the money after we get there! "
" Re--really? You can do that? " Uubu looked at him incrediously.
" SURE! Hercule's actually, well, my brother-in-law. " the large saiyajin laughed nervously, " His daughter and my
son are married. "
" ...oh. " Uubu continued to look shocked.
" Wait here for a second, I'll be RIGHT BACK. " Goku said, then flew up to the box seats Gohan, Chi-Chi, and the
others were seated in, " Hi everybody! I'm going to go live with Uubu and train him for a while! " he exclaimed happily.
" GOKU ARE YOU CRAZY!! " Chi-Chi gawked, " WE JUST GOT YOU BACK! _WHY_ would you ever want to-- "
" Good luck, Goku. " Piccolo said.
" --OH YOU KEEP OUT OF THIS YOU BIG GREENBEAN!! " Chi-Chi poked Piccolo in the chest. The namek sweatdropped. Chi-Chi
spun around only to see Goku had just flew back down to the arena again. She paled, " Oh dear God, he's really going to leave
us again, isn't he? "
" Personally, I think Goku's gotten himself a new little buddy. " Piccolo said to her. Chi-Chi froze in place.
" "new little--"... " a small smile appeared on her face, " A new little buddy. Someone to replace the Ouji. My
Go-chan doesn't love the Ouji anymore! HAHA! HAPPY DAY! HAPPY DAY!! HAHAHA! " Chi-Chi sang as she did a little dance, then
pointed at Bura, " HA! IN YOUR FACE, YOU OUJI-GOKU LOVER!!! "
" Urm, Kaasan do you think you could calm down a bit. People are beginning to stare. " Gohan mumbled, embarassed.
" Why should I calm down? LET them stare! My sweet Go-chan has come to his senses and liberated himself from the Ouji
just as I had hoped for in my wildest dreams! " she sniffled slightly, her eyes misty with tears of joy.
" 1 more minute! " Goku signaled Uubu as he jogged off the arena and down to the area the fighters stood in. Pan
stopped jump-roping with Vegeta's tail and ran over to great Goku.
" OJICHAN! I missed you so much! Did you win! " the chibi said excitedly.
" Well, nobody won yet, Panny. " Goku smiled weakly, " Actually, you see, Ojichan has to go away for a while. "
Pan paused, her eyes beginning to water, " You're going away? "
" Yeah, I, I'm going to go train Uubu over there so he can be a strong senshi too. "
" But--but I'm strong. You said I'm not done training, right? "
" Panny, take care of yourself. This doesn't mean I won't visit. " Goku smiled, " And as soon as Uubu's completed his
training I'll be back to be with you all the time again. Don't cry, oh-kay? "
" Uh--oh-kay. " Pan tried her best to keep the tears from falling down her cheeks.
" And besides, when I come back, you may even be as strong as me. " he winked at her.
Pan smiled, " Yeah! I'm gonna train real hard, Ojichan!! "
" Thatagirl. " Goku turned to Goten, " Goten, take care of your mother for me, oh-kay? "
" Sure.....Toussan.... " Goten looked disheartened.
" She--Chi-chan. I think she may need glasses soon. She told me and Gohan the other day her vision's getting blurry
and she can't see that well anymore; but not to tell Veggie because he'll do his Veggiestuff and get her all mad at him and
end up accidentally hurting herself. "
" Alright.....well, good luck then Toussan. " Goten said. Goku smiled, then looked over to his left.
" And Ve---HOLY CHEESE BREAD!!! " Goku yelped. The little ouji stood there staring up at him with the most
heartbroken look imaginable on his face while a little gray raincloud hovered hover his head pouring a thunder-storm down
over Vegeta, who was huddled over slightly from the cold. Those who had been standing anywhere near Vegeta had previously
backed several feet away. Goku's felt his eyes water and a big block of cement being dropped on his hear, " --geeeeeeee~~~.."
He walked over to Vegeta, then grabbed the little cloud and wrung it out, " Bad kinto'un! Go potty on somebody else!"
he shooed his small yellow cloud away. Goku sighed as he watched the cloud hover in the corner of the room, then turned back
to Vegeta and shrieked when he saw what looked like a bloody dagger sticking out of Vegeta's tummy, " AHHHH!! LITTLE VEGGIE!"
Goku reached for it only to have it pop off; the 'dagger' being no more than a toy leftover from last halloween. He twitched,
throwing it over his shoulder, " Ugh, Veggie I--EEK!!! " the ouji was now standing on a child's stepstool with a rope around
his neck tied to part of the ceiling. Goku quickly snapped the rope in two, catching Vegeta in his arms in the process,
" VEGGIE CUT THAT OUT! You'll scare me to death you know. " the larger saiyajin hugged the ouji tightly, " I'd just HATE to
lose my sweet little Veggie-edge'ums. " the peasant's eyes watered on the verge of bawling.
" You can't lose me if you don't leave. " Vegeta said.
" But I _HAVE_ to leave! " Goku pleaded.
" Even ~*Veggie*~? "
Tears were now streaming down Goku's face, " Even ~*Veggie*~..... " he tried to shake it off, " PLEASE, little
Veggie! PLEASE be mature and grownup about this. You're such a good little Veggie. "
" Fine. I shall *sniff* "suck it up" as you humans say. " Vegeta went into overdramatic mode for a moment, " But when
you return and fine my bodyless head lying in a gutter being eaten by sewer rats don't come crawling to wherever the rest of
my body is because you probably won't be able to find it after Onna chops it's soft, chubby sweetness into a million bloody
pieces and feeds it to Hiyah Dragon as a snack. "
" Eehhhh~~~~ " Goku sobbed, " I DON'T WANT VEGGIE TO GET EATEN!!!! "
The ouji zipped back to normal, " I understand, Kakarrotto. "
" You--you do? " Goku blinked, rubbing his teary eyes.
" Yes. You want to train that runty Uubu. Well I'm not stopping you like that Onna would stop you so go ahead and
enjoy yourself. " he folded his arms and nodded, " We wouldn't be able to show our full power in a place like this anyway.
Overcrowded with people. " Vegeta said.
Goku smiled, " It would've been nice though, to have one more battle with the saiyajin no ouji. "
" Heh, " Vegeta smirked boastfully, then whispered into the larger saiyajin's ear, " Kakarrotto-chan, the next time
we play with each other, we're going to need an entire planet for an arena. "
The larger saiyajin's cheeks heated up to a light pink.
Vegeta held out a capsule, " And, ironically, I just happened to have a spaceship! " he grinned.
" Goodbye Veggie! " Goku gave him one last hug, then flew over to the arena, floating stationary on his stomach with
his arms outward. Vegeta sweatdropped and let the capsule fall to the ground, " Heehee, I'm an airplane! "
Uubu stared at him.
" Come on, climb on my back! We can fly out of here right now! " the large saiyajin said with a smile.
" Well, I guess I could try. " Uubu said uneasily, hopping onto Goku's back, " This is sort of awkward. "
" Kakay never did that with me... " the little ouji sniffled. Fat Buu patted him on the shoulder.
" Aww, Buu feel bad for Vegeta-san. Here, Buu make better! " he held out a cupcake, " Cupcake good. Buu make all by
Buu's self! "
Vegeta's eyes watered even more, " Kakay always loved eating cupcakes....WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! STUPID STUPID STUPID!"
he pounded on the wall. Buu shrugged and shoved the cupcake into Vegeta's mouth, instantly calming down and confusing the
ouji at the same time.
" There, now Buu no have to listen to Vegeta's whining! " Buu chirped.
Vegeta snorted and eat the cupcake, then went back to focusing on the events in a stubborn manner.
" Hahaha! Let's go! " Goku laughed as he flew off, Uubu holding on tightly to the saiyajin's gi shirt for dear life
as they spiraled out of the arena until they were no more than a dot in the sky.
" I think that had to be the most random thing I've ever seen your father done, Goten. " Trunks mumbled, confused.
" I hope the natives are friendly to him. " Goten said, then paled at the thought of the islanders throwing Goku into
a volcano, " And I hope he doesn't say anything stupid. "
" Somehow, " Trunks replied, " I don't think that's possible. "
" *SIGH*. " a very large, sad, and loud sigh came from behind them.
Both demi-saiyajins turned around.
" This can't be right. " Vegeta said in a monotone voice while staring the ground, " It can't be. He begged me to
come to this tournament. Why would he want me here if he was just planning to leave? Did he think I wouldn't be able to
believe it if I learned about it from someone else? I worked so hard! I was so nice to that big baka, how could he do this.
DON'T YOU THINK I CARE AT ALL!!! " the ouji screamed at the ground with his eyes squinted, then let out an groan and leaned
against the side of the wall, frustratingly clutching his chest and letting out short growls every once in a while.
" Well, I have to say in all my years of announcing I've never seen anything battle end that bizarre before. " the
announcer said into his microphone while looking off into the direction Goku had flown off with Uubu in, " I guess since both
fighters have left the arena for more than the 10 second count, they're both disqualified. I mean, I think so, we've never
had a situation quite like this before. " he adjusted his sunglasses, confused of what to do next, " Oh well! In that case,
let's move onto the next battle! Seeing as Captain Chicken and Kirano have both fled for some reason or another, the next
battle will be between Son Goten and Mr. Buu! Son Goten is the second-born child of Son Chi-Chi and Son Goku--the man who
just flew off into the horizon out there. Mr. Buu is the chubby pink blob who is also Hercule's number 1 student! This is
sure to be a battle to remember! "
" BUU! WE LOVE YOU BUU!! " one of the girls in the stands held up a large sign saying "Go Buu!" on it along with the
girls around her who were all cheering for him.
" Ahh, what a pleasure it is to receive such praise from you lovely ladies. " Buu had smushed his face into the
bishounen-type expression he had seen in the magazines. The girls squealed.
Goten cocked an eyebrow at him, disturbed, " You are so weird, you know that Buu? "
Buu's face popped back to normal, " Buu not weird. Buu is special! " he grinned, " EVERYBODY CHEER FOR BUU! "
The two turned to walk out to the arena only to have someone walk past them in a slow pace. The figure sped up his
pace until he was all out running up onto the arena.
" V--Vegeta? " Goten blinked. The ouji ignored him and pointed his arms out behind his back as he ran directly across
the arena with a determined look on his face only to bounce at the edge of the platform and flew off in the direction Goku
and Uubu had left in. Trunks paled.
" That's not good. "
" OUJI!! OUJI WHERE ARE YOU GOING!! " Chi-Chi shouted as she watched him fly away, " OHHHHH, " she spun around, " ONE
OF YOU GET OUT THERE AND STOP HIM BEFORE HE HURTS MY GO-CHAN!! "
" Relax Chi-Chi, Goku'll be oh-kay. " Kuririn said.
" He's right. Goku just indirectly dumped him infront of all of us. This isn't something we should meddle in. "
Piccolo added.
" WHAT DO YOU _MEAN_!! You talk about it like he was going steady with the Ouji! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, then paled,
" Oh my God, Goku hasn't been going steady with the Ouji behind my back has he? You morons would've told me, RIGHT!! " she
grabbed both Kuririn and Yamcha and shook them angrily.
" Why, are, you, shaking, me! I, didn't, do, anything!! " Yamcha exclaimed as he was being shook.
" Well--YOU'RE EASY TO RELEASE PENT-UP ANGER ON!! " Chi-Chi sputtered, dropping them both.
" I think Piccolo meant he was dumping Vegeta of his "little buddy" title, Chi-Chi. " Bulma interjected.
Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at her, " Fine. " she spat, " In that case, let the Ouji go and suffer and see that I was
right about how happy Go-chan would be without him. "
" Ka--Kakarroujo would NEVER really divorce Toussan, would she, Kaasan? " Bura looked on the verge of tears.
Bulma sighed, then looked back out at the horizon, " Poor Vegeta, I hope he didn't take it TOO hard. You know how he
always exaggerates how he's feeling. "
/dl
" WOW!! What a beautiful island!!! " Goku said in awe as he flew down and landed with Uubu still on his back. Uubu
hopped off.
" Yes, but we have very little food and water, so that is why we're wary of--- " Uubu froze as he suddenly noticed
an entire group of people with similar clothes on as himself standing around them in a circle and aiming with spears,
" --tresspassers. "
" Uubu! " one of the natives exclaimed, recognizing him. He put down his spear and walked over to him, " Uubu-kun,
you have returned! Is the tournament over? Did you win? "
" Well, it's a long story niichan. " Uubu laughed nervously.
The older man paled, " You, didn't win? "
" Sorry big brother, actually this man over here is the one I was fighting against in the first round. His name is
Son Goku and he says he wants to live here and train me to become stronger. " Uubu explained.
" He's got quite a bit of meat on him. " one of the hungry natives said, poking Goku in the side with the tip of her
spear. Goku sweatdropped.
" So you didn't win, Uubu. We could cook this guy up easy. " the man next to the girl said to Uubu and his brother.
" Umm, I didn't come here to be eaten. " Goku spoke up only to have the man point the spear at Goku's neck. The
large saiyajin gulped.
" Do you have any money? "
" No. " Goku squeaked out.
" Do you have any food or water with you? "
" No. "
" Then you're going to BECOME food. "
" Uhhh---Uubu? Hey Uubu? " Goku said nervously, looking out of the corner of his eyes as the spear pointed closer to
his neck.
" Oh MAN, Uubu! When mom gets here she's gonna go crazy after she learns that you ran off during the middle of the
budokai! They only hold those things every 3 YEARS! We'll all be dead by starvation by that time! " his older brother paced
back and forth.
" Is it true, Uubu? " a girl slightly smaller than Uubu sniffled.
" I'm sorry little sister. Sensei told me he wanted to train me, and I didn't really think I could win the fight
against him--he was so strong. But--he--he says he knows Hercule! He says he's Hercule's brother-in-law and he's going to
have Hercule lend us some money. " Uubu stammered.
Goku, meanwhile, was currently being tied up by the other natives, " Um, Uubu? Help? "
" UUBU!! UUBU!!! " an older woman's voice said joyfully as she ran from out of the brush over to him, " MY BABY!! "
she sobbed, hugging onto him tightly.
" Kaasan! " Uubu smiled. Uubu's brother and sister backed up nervously.
" He'll cook just nice over a good old fashioned open fire. " the old man of the group said as they tied the already
tied up Goku to a large wooden pole and held him on what looked like limbo-bar holders while other natives ran off to get
firewood.
" Help? Please? " Goku said.
" My wonderful little child! " Uubu's mother sobbed happily, then let go of him, " You've brought back the money to
save our village, right? "
" Well--actually--- " Uubu gulped. All 9 of his siblings plugged their ears, " MYOPPONENTSTOPPEDUSINTHEMIDDLEOFTHE-
-BATTLEANDSAIDHEWASGOINGTOCOMELIVEWITHUSANDTRAINMETOBEREALLYSTRONGANDPROTECTTHEEARTHANDIMNOTSUREWHATTHATMEANS!!!! "
" ... " the woman stared at him in shock, then yelled, " WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!! " she whipped around and furiously
stomped towards Goku, " Why you large hooligan! My son worked so hard to get into that tournament and you just up and kidnap
him back here! "
" I didn't kidnap him, lady. I was just gonna live here and teach him out to fight better. " Goku pouted.
" FIGHT BETTER!! YOU SIMPLEHEADED MORON! You can't kidnap young children, use some magical flying trick to fly them
over here and then expect to live in my house that's already feeding off of scraps because we don't have the money my Uubu
would've won to pay for our welfare! You sick twisted idiot! Where did you get the idea that you could DO such a thing! "
" But--but I knew he was gonna be there! " Goku pleaded, " He's the reborn Kid Buu who blew up the entire planet and
many others! But now since he's in this form he's forgotten his previous self and I want to help him pull on his inner energy
so that he could one day become a great warrior once everybody else is gone and I can go play outer-space adventures with
Veggie in his satellite without having to worry about the Earth's well-being. "
" ... "
The entire group of natives stared at him.
Uubu's mom slapped Goku sharply across the face, then pointed at him while she addressed her son, " Uubu where did
you dig up this lunatic! "
" I even had Buu--fat Buu who was the one who spawned Kid Buu who is now Uubu--fix the numbers so I could fight him!
I don't normally cheat so that's how important it was that I-- "
" *SLAP*-*SLAP*-*SLAP*!!! " Uubu's mother slapped him several more times.
" Oww... "
" Somebody go get a gag to shut him up! " she said, annoyed, " You want to help us you strange, furry-tailed man?
Well you can help us by being our dinner so we can all go to bed with semi-full stomachs! You're not right in the head! "
" But-but--- " Goku said as she left to go get her own spear, " Ohh....this isn't working out how I planned it at
all. "
" You probably should've brought the money with you on your way here. " Uubu nodded uneasily.
" Hm, yeah. Good point. " Goku said, deep in thought only to yelp as he felt something hot suddenly appear beneath
him.
" Ahh, the fire's started. How nice. " the old man said to the younger villagers who had just started it, " Now be
sure to turn him. "
" Shouldn't we skin him first? "
" No, wait til after he's cooked. The meat'll be more therough that way. "
" Hey--wait--stop! " Goku cried out as two of the villagers began to rotate the ends of the pole, " I'm not edible!
I probably don't taste very good anyway! Please stop! PLEASE! "
" *TANG*! " a shot rung through the air and instantly ripped a hole through the side of the rope tieing Goku up. The
saiyajin fell to the ground, then jumped to his feet realizing he had just been set on fire.
" YEOW!! HOT HOT HOT!! " Goku bounced on his rear up and down on the dirt until it was put out. His tail fur slightly
singed near the butt. He looked up in addition to the villagers in the direction the shot had come from and sweatdropped when
he recognized the little figure who had dressed up in a white cowboy outfit with a black mask over his eyes and was holding a
flouresant-colored pink watergun in his hand. He was also standing ontop of a kiddie-sized stick-horse and had a white
cowboy hat on his head, " Oh no... " Goku paled with worry, " It CAN'T be!!! "
" Who's the little furry-tailed wacko dressed up like a poor imitation of the Lone Ranger? " the old man said,
cocking the walking cane he had with him at the top of the cliff.
" DO NOT TOUCH THE PEASANT OR YOU SHALL ANSWER TO ME!!! " the figure exclaimed angrily, then teleported away.
" Veggie....? " Goku trailed off, looking up at the cliff. He let out a small sniffle.
" QUICK TIE HIM UP AGAIN BEFORE HE GETS AWAY!! " one of the villagers shouted. Goku shot to attention and ran off.
" Come on Uubu! We gotta hurry! " Goku grabbed Uubu by the wrist.
" Hurry? Hurry WHERE! You've dragged me into enough trouble today, Sensei! " Uubu shouted, confused and frightened.
Goku flew off into the air, then put his fingers on his forehead.
" Hold on tight, oh-kay! " Goku shouted at him.
" For what?! " Uubu gasped only to have them both teleport from the spot.
All the other villagers stared at where they had disappeared from in awe.
" The furry-tailed man must be a witch, or a demon! " another villager gasped.
" LET US HUNT HIM DOWN AND RETIEVE THE CHILD!! " a third yelled. The others hooted in agreement, grabbed their spears
and ran off to comb the island for Goku and Uubu.
/dl
Who were luckly now located on a different island five minutes away from the previous one.
" I can't believe you! " Uubu exclaimed as he paced inside the cave where the duo was hiding. Goku sat on the floor
cross-legged and watching him with a confused blank look on his face, " You insult me and my family, then you say you were
lying, THEN you tell me you're going to train me and give me money and LIVE with my ALREADY-PACKED family! AND NOW YOU KIDNAP
ME AGAIN!!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU _ARE_!!!! " he shouted in Goku's face.
" Why I'm Son Goku! " the saiyajin chirped happily. Uubu groaned and flopped down on his back on the floor.
" It's hopeless. I'm not even sure I want to train anymore. "
" Wha~~? " Goku gawked, " Hey--you can't do that! The Earth's gonna need you a whole lot when I'm gone! "
" And WHERE are you going again? " Uubu demanded from on his back in a tireder-sounding voice, " Out into deep space
with a bunch of vegetables! "
" No--not "vegetables", Veggie. " Goku corrected him, then smiled warmly, " Veggie's *special* to me. "
" Uh-huh. " Uubu said lamely.
" Aw, don't sound that way. I didn't mean to get you all mad. " Goku frowned, " I got it! " he snapped his fingers,
" What if I show you what some of my power can do? "
" Other than ruin my day and possibly the entire next 3 years of my life? " Uubu replied.
" Heehee! " Goku grinned, then formed a ball of ki. Uubu turned his head towards the yellow light and gawked in
surprise.
" What's THAT!? Your hand's on fire!!! "
" NoooooOOOoooo, this is ki! The body's natural energy. I have a lot of it! When you can harness your ki you can form
it into a ball like this. OR you could use it to heal people--like Dende. OR you could use it to make clothes--like Piccolo!"
Goku rattled off cheerfully.
" You're kidding?! " Uubu's jaw hung open.
" Nope! If I was kidding then how could I do THIS! " Goku then formed 2 more ki balls and began to juggle them.
" Wow, is--is that safe? To, juggle them like that? " Uubu asked.
" I have no idea! " Goku grinned dumbly. Uubu paled.
" Oh. I'll just, sit over here then. " Uubu said, wandering over to the far side of the cave.
" There's no reason to worry! " Goku laughed, then reabsorbed the ki back into his hands, " Here, " he said, pulling
two capsules out of his gi pants pocket and pressing the buttons on them, then tossing them to the ground where in a puff of
smoke they revealed two sleeping bags, Goku's orange one and a child-sized one for Uubu, " Now we can me comfy for the night,
it is gonna get dark real soon, your islands must be closer to the moon than where the budokai was. "
" Uh, right. " Uubu said, getting into the smaller green sleeping-bag that had been tossed opposite the side of the
cave where Goku was. The boy felt a sudden uneasyness overcome him for a second as if someone had been sneaking up on them
out of the corner of his eye. He shook it off and went to sleep, following Goku's example.
Meanwhile the little figure Uubu had thought he'd seen was presently creeping into the cave with a big evil grin on
his face.
" Heh-heh-heh... " the figure snickered, pulling out a blue sleeping-bag from behind his back and layed it down close
to the large saiyajin, then snuggled inside the sleeping-bag, " Goodnight.............Kakarrotto. "
/dl
" *YAWN*!! " Uubu let out a yawn as he woke up, his body practically programed to get up early due to all the
training he had preparing the budokai. He sighed as the past day's events quickly recollected in his mind. Uubu looked
sleepily across the cave at Goku only to nearly let out a yelp of fright at the fact that there was now an additional
sleeping-bag with an additional person inside it.
" S-s--s---s-s-s-s-Sensei. " he squeaked out nervously.
The small figure in the blue sleeping-bag cocked his head up, drowsy, " Why hello, you better go back to sleep, we'll
all need our rest and it's way to early to be up. " he snickered, a tail identical to Goku's flickering in the air out of the
tip of his sleepingbag.
" Who are you? And what are you doing here! " Uubu said a little more boldly.
" Oh, I'm just an observer for now. " the figure yawned, then went back to sleep. The back of Uubu's head hit the
pillow. He seriously considered sneaking out of the cave now and running back to the village, leaving his sensei and the
mysterious little figure alone there, ::Surely Sensei can defeat him, but, what if that man kills sensei in his sleep! It
would be all my fault if I left him to die. No, I must wait for him to wake up::
/dl
3 Hours Later...
" Heehee, heeheehee... " Goku let out soft little giggles in his sleep. He was partially awake with his eyes still
closed, " It feels like something's tickling my nose, heehee, and it smells just like Veggie. " he laughed, then paused and
opened his eyes to see the tip of a large tuft of black hair peeping underneath his nose. Goku's eyes widened in shock. He
sat up immediantly, " VEGGIE!!? " the large saiyajin flipped the figure in the blue sleeping-bag over to his side and gawked
to see Vegeta sleeping there, letting out a few snores at random times. The smaller saiyajin had fluffed his bangs over so
they were visible again, " Awww....Veggie.... " Goku said, touched at the sleepy expression on the snoring ouji's face,
" Just look how cute you are in your lil Veggie-sized sleeping-bag and with those kawaii little veggie-bangs that you know I
love so much on you....................waitaminute? What's VEGGIE doing HERE?! I'm HOURS away from his house!!!! Veggie!
Veggie wake up! " Goku shook the smaller saiyajin.
" Huh-wah? " Vegeta said, dazed.
" Veggie, what're you DOING here! " the ouji heard Goku's voice exclaim from his right.
Vegeta turned his head towards Goku and gave a tried smile, " So, you remember my name after all, eh? "
The larger saiyajin looked at him, distraught, " Oh little Veggie, I would never forget you! " he smiled warmly, then
thought for a moment, " Heck, NOBODY could forget you even if they tried! "
Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Well, I guess they could. Maybe if they had Alzhiemer's disease...but forgeting about Veggies isn't something you
do normally. "
" Heh-heh-heh, you know, for a while there I thought I'd never find you again, with all these islands you could've
ran off to. " Vegeta commented.
" Ugh, Veggie you're not supposed to be here! " Goku groaned, " Little Veggie you KNOW I would've brought you along
if I could've but the thing is I can't! "
" ... " the ouji stared at him blankly, tilting his head slightly to the left.
" Awwwwwww, Veggiesocute. " the larger saiyajin said w/big sparkily eyes, then gave Vegeta a quick hug and got up,
" Come on Uubu, I saw a forest as we were flying over to the cave, we can start your training down there. "
" Uhh, oh-kay. " Uubu said as he got up from just laying on the ground for the past 3 hours, wide-awake. He gulped at
Vegeta, who was sending death-glares in his direction, " Umm, so he's just going to..stay here, right? "
" Of course I'm not! " Vegeta exclaimed, getting up out of his sleeping bag, " I didn't come looking for Kakarrotto
all this way to sit in this smelly, now-kaka-scented cave! "
" But Veggie I CAN'T spar with you, I came here to train Uubu! " Goku sighed.
" I didn't say I wanted to spar. " the smaller saiyajin replied, then smirked, " I'm just planning to play 'tourist'
and follow you there. "
" Oh...... " Goku said, as if enlightened, " Just like a puppy!! " he grinned.
Vegeta fell over, " NO, NOT LIKE A PUPPY!!! " the ouji's face turned bright red, " Like an observer, a watchful eye.
You know.... " he trailed off.
" ...like a puppy! " Goku chirped again.
A vein bulged on the ouji's forehead.
" Well alright little Veggie, if you're just going to sit there and watch us and be a good little Veggie then I don't
see why not. " Goku said happily, " Say, does anybody else know you're here? " he asked curiously.
" Nope. "
" Oh. Does anyone else know I'm here? "
" Nope. "
" .....huh. " the larger saiyajin said outloud, deep in thought. " Oh well! " Goku smiled.
Vegeta and Uubu sweatdropped.
" Come on guys! Let's go! " the large saiyajin said, jumping off the cliff and flying off in the direction of the
forest. Vegeta shrugged and followed him, leaving Uubu alone on the cliff.
" Err, Sensei! Excuse me! Umm, I CAN'T FLY!!! " Uubu screamed.
Goku paused in mid-flight, " Oh yeah, " he flew over to Uubu, " Heh-heh, sorry about that. " he grabbed him and flew
off again.
Uubu twitched. Goku was whistling some cheery little tune, oblivious to the world. Vegeta was sending death-glares a
mile a minute at the small boy, Uubu twitched again, " Somehow I have the feeling this is going to be a very strange day. "
*****************************************************************************************************************************
2:07 PM 5/16/2003
END OF PART ONE!
Chuquita: And so ends the first part to the parodying of a part of dbz which ended before it had a chance to make an episode
for me to completely parody the middle and ending to this chapter of.
Vegeta: That made absoultely no sense at all.
Chuquita: (grins) That it didn't!
Goku: But we luv it anyway!
Chuquita: Actually since this is only a two-part story, I ironically have two alternate endings for this slightly alternate
dbz ending.
Goku: Yeah, Veggie could've run after me like he did the last time I ditched him at a budokai, it could happen. (smiles
sweetly at Veggie) In't that right lil-lil Veggie who luvs me so much!
Vegeta: (snorts)
Goku: Heehee!
Vegeta: (grumbles) It's a good thing my Toussan can't see your annoyingness from up there. [signals to throne]
Bardock: I don't think he can see anything from up there.
Celipa: (sitting in what would've been Bejito's seat had he not brought his throne in) Yah, I'd be surprised if he hasn't
gotten a nosebleed yet from how high up he is.
Goku: (grins) My Mommy's here! HI MOMMY!! [waves to Celi]
Celipa: Hi Kakarrotto! (waves back)
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Hoo-boy, now we've got 3/4ths of the Kaka-family in the room.
Bardock: (to Veggie) Raditsu's still mad about being tricked so he's outside the building grumbling to himself.
Raditsu: (outside the building) (grumbling) I CAN HEAR YOU!! (goes back to grumbling)
Goku: A-mazing! (happily) Who wants fish! [holds up fish]
Chuquita: (blinks in surprise) Is that one still alive?
Goku: Yeah, I think so. (looks at fish, then back at Chu) But they're pretty fun to swallow whole--the littler ones anyway.
They wiggle all the way down your throat!
Vegeta: (turns pale green)
Celipa: Barudokku (A/N: Thank you for his full name, Miyanon! :) ) and I met each other over a fish!
Vegeta: (looks over at Son who is gumming the fish he brought) (dryly) For some odd reason I'm not surprised.
Bardock: Unlike Earth, on Bejito-sei we swim with our training uniforms on to provide futher protection.
Vegeta: (nods) Hai, I know about that. (grumbles at Goku) ...you nudist.
Goku: (cocks his head to attention)
Bardock: We were both underwater chasing this gigantic fish from opposite directions, but we didn't know each other was
there.
Celipa: We're still not sure if it was me or Bardock who knocked the fish unconsious.
Bardock: Then we started to pull the dead fish from either end until we both had to surface and were shocked to see someone
else on the other end of the fish, and someone who was equal in strength to each other.
Celipa: We got out of the water, ate the fish, talked a little while we ate and decided to go fishing again together another
time, seeing as the first was by accident.
Goku: (smiles) And they had Raditsu and me and lived happily ever after!
Bardock: Until I got blown up and Freeza sent some of his henchman to kill Celipa and some of our friends.
Goku: Oh yeah.....I forgot about those parts.....well, they had Raditsu and me and lived SEMI-happily ever after!
Chuquita: I guess that works.
Vegeta: Kakarrotto's parents fell in love over a fish, figures. (to Goku) And Bardock's right, when we wrestle giant fish on
Bejito-sei we KEEP OUR CLOTHES ON!
Goku: (proudly) I cannot help it if I am comfortable with my body. Infact, I'm HAPPY to be in this body! [thumps his chest]
Vegeta: Ugh. (twitches)
Chuquita: I'm worried about how that's gonna translate to those 4 live-action movies they're gonna be making.
Vegeta: (pales) Oh God I don't want to bring up my fears about having some baka human portray me in a theatrical release
again!
Chuquita: ...what?
Bardock: That's a good question.
Goku: And here's a good answer! :)
...
...
...
Bardock: (confused) That wasn't an answer, that was three lines of periods.
Goku: ...I know! :D
Bardock: (sweatdrops)
Chuquita: At least I know a little bit more about the movie. They're making a saiyajin, freeza, cell, and buu movie (one for
each villain). (A/N: I'd still like to see an original-plotline dbz movie instead) And we all know it's FOX who's doing it.
I heard Toriyama was going to be part of the main team but got cut out because he wanted an all-japanese cast (which I
wouldn't have minded) but that's only a rumor. The movie's also been delayed from the summer of 2004 to the summer of 2005.
Either way, the idea of somebody dressed up like Son-kun or Veggie walking down the street seems pretty spooky to me.
Goku: I can't wait to see live-Veggie's furry tail!
Vegeta: (admires his own tail) It IS a beauty, isn't it. [pats his tail]
Bardock: (rolls his eyes) Oh brother!...
Celipa: You don't HAVE a brother.
Bardock: Oh DON'T I....
Celipa: ...
Bardock: (sighs) No, you're right. I don't.
Chuquita: Anyway, I also heard that for the cgi characters (Majin Buu forms, among others) they're using George Lucas (the
star wars guy)'s cgi company to do that. FOX is thinking of just calling the movie "Dragonball Z" or "Dragonball Z: The Fight
for Mankind".
Goku: (blinks) What about womankind?
Vegeta: And saiyajinkind.
Goku: And puppykind.
Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) "Puppykind", Kakarrotto?
Goku: Yeah, you know, Bee. Buu's yellow lab puppy.
Vegeta: Ah, yes. The dog.
Chuquita: My gramma has a yellow lab, but the puppy got really chubby when it grew up, just like Bee did. (sweatdrops)
Goku: What about your puppy?
Chuquita: (looks over her shoulder at her beagle, Snoopy) Eh, he sleeps, eats, poops, and plays. Sleeping mostly.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Sounds like Kakarrotto, only with less 'playing'
Goku: (squeals) I like to play!
Vegeta: (ears ringing in pain) That..you do......
Chuquita: (to audiance) We'll see you in part 2, everybody!
Celipa: Goodbye!
Bardock: (waves casually) Bye!
Vegeta: (groans) Oh GOD, my ears hurt.
Goku: Heeheehee~! (to audiance) Remember, a Veggie is a Veggie unless it is something else!
