I grabbed a pillow from the floor and smashed it against my face. I let loose a scream of horror into it. Rogue was walking through the living room when she saw me gasping and screaming into the pillow. She ran over, "Yo, what's up? What's wrong?"

I peeled the pillow away from my face, "I… I… I sat down on the couch… and I smelled this really good smell… like lemons kind of… and… and…" (A/N: Lemony smell, eh? Hehehe…)

"Annnnnd?"

"It's Kakarot's smell! I liked Kakarot's smell! I'm a disgrace to Vegetarians everywhere!" I wailed. Rogue looked at me for a moment and then burst into laughter. "Hey! It's not funny!" I growled as she collapsed on the couch.

"Oh yes it is!" she howled, alternating between gasping for breath and laughing. I glared at her as she recovered from the laugh attack. Why couldn't she see the distress this caused me? Well… actually… if something like this happened to Bana or Rogue I'd be laughing… it is kind of funny…

The rest of the group wandered into the living room over the course of the next few minutes as Mike had told them he needed to make an announcement. Bana, Rogue and I occupied the couch and when Mike made his way to sit on the TV, we all shot a collective glare at him. Baka… he didn't have to fix the transporter…

"Can I have your attention please?" Mike asked. Everyone quieted down except Kakarot, who was feeling his sticky hair and groaning something about Chichi and a frying pan. I chuckled in delight.

"I am proud to announce," he said, holding up the device, "that I have fixed it!" Kakarot and Krillin whooped in joy, Vegeta's face got a slight smile to it and Piccolo looked impassive as always. The chibis groaned though.

"We wanted to go to the zoo!" Trunks complained.

"Yeah! Zar said he knows a way to the staff's lock-" Zar slapped a hand over Goten's mouth. I gave my brother a suspicious look. He grinned back at me.

"Well, I'm sorry Goten, but we have to get home as soon as we possibly can. Chichi's probably worried sick." Kakarot said to his son. Trunks looked with hope to his father but he was disappointed when his father shook his head.

"Let's go!" Krillin reached for the device but Mike held it back.

"No! It hasn't been tested yet! Remember, I had to rebuild this, so it… might not… work…" Mike looked apprehensively at Vegeta.

"It better work, gaki, or else…" Vegeta growled the threat out menacingly.

Mike paled and licked his lips. "Well, we need to test it out on something… preferably living…"

"We could," I coughed, "borrow one of the neighbor's mice."

"Too small, has to be about twice that size at least." Mike answered. (A/N: Guess right now what they're going to use!! See if you get it right!!)

"Hmmmm…" everyone got a thoughtful look and I glanced around. My eyes rested on something on a desk.

"Ohhhhh Zaaar?" I said in a sweet, singsong voice.

He looked at me fearfully, "Wh-what?"

"Just how attached are you to your guinea pig?" I asked.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" my gutei screamed as Mike duct taped the device to the guinea pig's fur. Zar started kicking and punching me, "YOU BITCH! NOT HAMPS! ANYTHING BUT HAMPS!"

"Come on, ouch, Zar! Ow! Just how, shit, attached to the DAMN thing, can you be?" I snarled, every few words adding in an expletive as he hit me.

"VERY ATTACHED!" Zar screamed as Kakarot grabbed his arms to restrain him.

"Watch out for his teeth!" I yelled, but too late. Zar had bit Kakarot's hand.

"YOU LITTLE!" Kakarot momentarily lost control and he hit Zar on the head. My brother crumpled to the floor, unconscious.

I stared at Kakarot for a moment, amazed. "Wow, Kakarot. You lost your temper…" Bana and Rogue also looked at Kakarot in a look of wonderment, tinged slightly with respect.

Kakarot put a hand behind his head and grinned, "Sorry."

"It's okay," I grinned, "It'll make this easier without his screaming."

"He's ready to go!" Mike announced and we looked at the guinea pig. The little beast had the device taped to it's back and a note taped onto that. The note said to send back the guinea pig, or what was left of it, so they would know if it was safe or not to send people through. "I've set it for a five second delay so I will have a moment to get away from it." Mike explained as he put the rodent on the floor.

"I wonder if this could be construed as cruelty to animals…" Bana mused.

"Believe me," I said to her, "the little bastard deserves it." She and Rogue chuckled.

"Back away!" Mike hollered as he hit the button. Everyone quickly cleared the immediate area around the guinea pig. It looked around in confusion and then disappeared.

"Yes!" Krillin jumped in the air and pumped his fist. Kakarot whooped. Goten and Trunks did a few cartwheels around the room, momentarily forgetting that they weren't going to the zoo now.

"It worked!" Mike grinned and grabbed me in a hug as I jumped up from the couch.

Bana snickered as Mike let go of me, "Get a room!" I mock glared at her and sat back down… only to find that Mike had beat me to my seat. I leaned back against him.

"Soooo…" Rogue said, trying to get everyone's attention away from Mike and I, "What're when gonna do while we wait for the pig to return?"

"We can play Monopoly!" I grinned and stood up. I dashed off to the closet in my room where the game was secured. I brought it back and set up the board. Goten and Trunks switched on the television to watch the anime that was playing on Cartoon Network. I glanced over and saw them staring at the Sailor Scouts. I rolled my eyes. Boys…

Bulma sat in a chair in her lab, waiting for the arrival of her mate, child and friends. Men, she thought, always arriving late. She heaved a sigh and sipped at her coffee. It had only been an hour since Piccolo and Krillin had left but to Bulma it felt like a week. Bulma turned in her chair to stare at the metal square that was the receiver of the transport device as she lit up a cigarette.

Then, a little, furry rodent appeared on it. Bulma sat up straight and stared at the rodent for a few moments. She then put her coffee down on the desk and stood. Slowly, she approached the little creature, which had the device taped to its back. There was also a note also taped on it. Bulma pulled the note off the device and read it.

"Hey Bulma! The device was busted but one of us over here in this dimension was able to fix it! Can you send the pig back through so we know it's safe to send Vegeta, Krillin, Trunks and the rest through? Thanks!"

Bulma blinked and read the note over. She set the device to transport it back to where it came from, or within a five-foot radius, and then set the timer for five seconds. She hit the button and backed off the plate. The pig looked around and disappeared from her view.

I sighed as Kakarot rolled another snake eyes for the eighth time that game. Mike handed him another 500-dollar bill. "I love this game!" Kakarot grinned and passed 'Go'. Mike handed him 200 dollars.

"Give me the dice, Kakarot!" Vegeta grabbed the dice and shook them for a moment. He rolled and then glared at them as they stopped moving. 3 and 2, he counted the spaces and growled as he realized he was going to jail again for the fifth time that game. "THIS GAME HAS NO POINT!" he screamed as the vein popped on his forehead.

"Dad! Dad! Look! You're on TV!" Trunks called out, pointing at the television where it was the episode where Vegeta blew himself up when he was up against Buu.

I wiped a tear from my eye, "This episode is so sad!"

"I know!" Bana sniffled, "It always makes me cry!"

"Where are the tissues?" Rogue yelled. Goten handed them to her and we all reached for one.

"Don't die Veggie!" I yelled at the television, forgetting he was in the room.

"Eh… Bo?" Mike nudged me with an elbow.

"EXCUSE ME!" I yelled, looking at him, "I'M WATCHING THE CUTEST SAIYAN EVER TO BE BOR…" I noticed Vegeta looking at all of us oddly, "Eh heh…" I put my hand behind my head, "Whose turn is it?"

"Mine!" Mike turned back to the board to grab the device. He paused. "Oh my Kami…"

"What?" I asked looking at the playing board while Mike ran to the bathroom where sounds of puking could then be heard. I gagged and closed my eyes.

"HOLY SHIT!" Bana screamed and started gagging.

"AWESOME!" Rogue grinned.

*Vegeta reads off a letter from Jeril* 'Muwhahaha!! Poor, poor Hamps! He's been turned into a guinea pig guinea pig! What's on the board? *lol* supersayenprincess: I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to that. BananaGirl! When I read your review over the second time, I had a mental image of Vegeta as mashed potatoes… and it was very scary… O.o;;; I think there's a really good reason they've locked me up in this padded cell…'

Vegeta: Mashed potatoes? Me? *Kakarot laughs his head off. Laughing drifts off and is replaced by uneasy silence*

Kakarot: You thinking what I'm thinking Vegeta?

Vegeta: Probably… these author notes just aren't the same without the ikeike.

Kakarot: Yeah… they're lacking something… the author… *brightens* We should go rescue her!

Vegeta: But the guards are more powerful then we are…

Kakarot: Not if we fuse into Gogeta! *Vegeta nods and they do the Fusion Dance*

Vegeta and Kakarot: FUSION HA! *Gogeta sets off to rescue Jeril amid cheering from the reviewers*
