Quote of the Week: -from sub dbz

Veggie: I can't feel my legs.

Chuey's Corner:

Goku: (poking Vegeta's legs) Aww, poor little Veggie! [pulls out doctor's stethoscope and puts it on Veggie's leg to listen

for a heartbeat]

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Legs don't have pulses in them, baka!

Goku: (patting the leg) Poor little Veggie-leg, do not worry! I will fix whatever inside you is broken.

Vegeta: (looks down at his patted leg) I'm starting to feel increasingly uncomfortable in this position.

Chuquita: Uh---(looks over at Veggie, trying to help him out) (to audiance) (happily) Welcome to part 4, everybody!

Vegeta: (flatly) That still didn't help ease my tension?

Goku: (gasp) Veggie has TENSION too! (pulls out blood-pressure machine with the strap and little pumper and puts strap around

Veggie's thigh) (starts up machine to test the leg's blood-pressure)

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Where did you get all this doctor stuff anyway?

Goku: Well, Chi-chan wants me to get a job like humans have.

Vegeta: Uh-huh.

Goku: And she already decided she couldn't make me a lawyer cuz I'm not that good with numbers and large words confuse me and

I always hide gi's under my suits whenever she tries to get me dressed up fancy.

Chuquita: Uh-huh.

Goku: And then I said I could be the judge instead but Chi-chan said "you only wanna be the judge cuz you'd get to smack that

little mallet around and yell "order"."

Vegeta: Typical Kakarrotto.

Goku: And she was right too so we decided against it.

Chuquita: Good thought.

Goku: But she still wants me to do something that'll get her a lot of money so she figured I could be a doctor since I have

no problem with blood-n-guts-n-stuff. But if for some reason they find out I'm not good at performing operations I could just

be an assistant or a nurse instead.

Vegeta: (blinks) I thought nurses were girls.

Goku: Oh, there're male nurses too, Veggie.

Vegeta: (lil thought-bubble over his head w/Goku in a typical female nurse's uniform) (pale green) There are so many things

wrong with that...

Chuquita: (looks up at Veggie's thought-bubble and laughs) HAHA! Don't be stupid, Veggie. Male nurses get doctor-like

uniforms, or something like it--I think. But they definately don't wear skirts. (snickers)

Vegeta: (motions to Goku who's staring at him dumbly) I hope not.

Chuquita: Personally I don't like going to hospitals. (shudders) They smell creepy.

Vegeta: So? Kakarrotto smells creepy and I'm around him all the time and I don't mind it, much.

Goku: (sniffs his armpits) (happily) I smell like a rose!

Vegeta: YOU DO NOT! You don't even know what a rose smells like!

Goku: A Veggie by any other name would smell as sweet.

Vegeta: (utterly confused) ...what?

Goku: HAHAHA!

Chuquita: Hahahaha, shakespeare.

Goku: Heehee, I am Veggie's 'Juliet'.

Vegeta: (snaps) YOU ARE NOT!....what the heck is a Juliet.

Goku: (smiles) Silly Veggie!

Chuquita: Well, we've finally revealed to whoever didn't know compact oozaru form Goku's fur color.

Vegeta: (dryly) And it's PINK.

Goku: What's wrong with me having pink fur?

Vegeta: EVERYTHING! (grumbles) I swear if I ever get my hands on the sorry bakayaro who decided "hey, why don't we make

Kakarrotto's compact oozaru fur PINK?"; I WILL STRANGLE HIM WITH MY BARE HANDS AND ROAST HIS DEAD CARCASS ALIVE!!!

Chuquita: ...Veggie, you can't have somebody dead AND alive at the same time.

Vegeta: YOU WATCH ME, I'LL DO IT!

Goku: I was dead and a-live back when I had my lil halo and was with Veggie and the others for a day. (perks up) One of the

best parts of the day was when we were all snacking together before the fights and I had all that spagetti and Veggie was

eatin egg rolls and pizza rolls and mini hotdogs inside crescent rolls and all sorts of just-pop-it-in-your-mouth-n-swallow

foods!

Chuquita: (to Goku) Did you know they make taco-flavored pizza rolls now?

Vegeta: (smirks) Heh-heh, spicy.

Goku: (happy) But it'll give ya gas!..heehee, Veggie-gas.

Vegeta: (snorts) The GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI does NOT pass gas!

Goku: (surprised) Really?

Vegeta: (angry) OF COURSE NOT! (calm) He merely releases excess air that has been packed tightly within his hind quarters.

Chuquita: (falls over) THAT'S JUST A FANCY WAY OF SAYING YOU FART TOO!

Vegeta: (boastful and mysterious) Maybe, maybe not.

Chuquita: ... (sweatdrops)

Goku: Veggie makes my head hurt.

Chuquita: (happily) Here's part 4!

Summary: After Veggie angers an old woman at the supermarket, she places a curse on him. Now everyone Veggie knows visualizes

the ouji as their imaginations portray him. Veggie has 1 week to find the old woman again and remove the curse or else he

will fall victim to the same effects as those around him. Will Veggie be able to get through to an over-eager Goku,

dreamy-eyed Bulma, and terrified/wildly angered Chi-Chi before it's too late? And what happens when the curse starts

effecting Veggie's vision as well?

Goku: (standing on the desk) (dramatic attempt to be dramatic) Oh Veggie-tah, Veggie-tah, where for art thou, Veggie-tah!

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) What are you doing up there?

Goku: Deny thy farther and refuse thy fame, and I shall no longer be encapsulized!

Vegeta: (confused) JUST GET OFF THE STUPID DESK ALREADY, BAKA!

Goku: (happily) CATCH ME VEGGIE! (leaps off into Veggie's arms) (plunks flower in Veggie's hair) Everything's comin up roses,

Veggie!

Vegeta: (to Chu) (groans) After the chapter you gotta tell me what he's refencing THIS TIME.

Chuquita: In due time, Veggie.

Goku: (singing) Doodoodoodoo DOO! (giggles) Heeheehee, doo-doo.

*****************************************************************************************************************************

      " Kakarrotto, they have PARTY FAVORS set out for us! " Vegeta twitched as he slumped down to the floor behind the

bushes, " Party favors with INSULTS on them!! "

      " Where? " Chi-Chi poked her head over the bushes curiously. Vegeta quickly yanked her back down, " HEY! What's that

for! "

      " BAKA, you want them to find out we're all back here! " the ouji hissed quietly, " And pull your hat over your eyes

or something so they don't recognize you when we go over there. "

      Goku grabbed Chi-Chi's bun's hair-squngie and yanked it out, causing her hair in the back to fall down back in place.

Chi-Chi glared over at him while Goku grinned, " HEE~! Spontaniousity! "

      " The first thing you're doing when we get home is getting rid of that furry form. " she said flatly.

      " But I thought you said it was *CUTE*. " Goku said w/big sparkily eyes.

      " It was cute until you messed with my hair. " Chi-Chi snatched her hair squngie back and shoved it in her pocket.

      " Aw.. " Goku pouted.

      " Don't worry, Kaka-chan. I still think your pink fur is, uh, intreguing. " Vegeta smirked.

      " Reeeeeeally, Veggie? " Goku said musingly; his fur puffing out on all sides. Vegeta sweatdropped.

      " Yeah, sure, really. " Vegeta said quickly and nervously, noticing the larger saiyajin's tail wafting about on its

own as if performing some type of come-hither dance, " Kakarrotto do you mind telling your tail to stop that for a moment,

it's creepy. "

      Goku looked over his shoulder at his tail, then grabbed it, " Shh! Quiet, tail! You'll attract too much a-ttention

that way. The dazed-from-all-the-released-oozaru-hormones tail waved coyly at Vegeta before Goku let go of it, causing it to

fling back to it's normal spot. The tail sulked.

      " Now Kakarrotto...and Onna, when I give the orders we're to leap out and arrest Freeza. While Onna and I think up

some type of rights to read to them for kidnapping our "fellow officers", Kakarrotto here will teleport up to the fusions and

untie them; being the master 'escape artist' he is. " Vegeta said the last part with slight annoyance.

      " Aww, I luv u too, Veggie! " Goku chirped outloud. Vegeta froze as did the rest of the group on the other side of

the bushes.

      " Heh-heh-heh-heh, well who have we here? "

      The trio looked up to see Freeza grinning down at them.

      " A couple of furballs and a human, how delightful. " the icejin snickered.

      " Alright Freeza you're under arrest for the kidnapping and torture of officers Son Vejitto Oujisama and Son Gogeta

Oujisama! " Vegeta lept to his feet, snapping handcuffs over Freeza's wrists.

      " Aw, that's not being very neighborly now, is it, Vegeta. " Freeza looked down at the handcuffs and snapped them in

two, " And after my associates and I all worked so hard to gather up this little welcoming party for you and your

pink-fluffy-furred oujo here. " he teased.

      " Lil-lil Veggie's ~*ouuuujo*~. " Goku said w/big sparkily eyes, musing dreamily.

      " YOU CUT THAT OUT! " Vegeta snapped at Freeza, " YOU KNOW VERY WELL KAKARROTTO'S NOTHING MORE THAN MY SINGLE LAST

LIVING PEASANT TO ME! HE'S NO OUJO! "

      " I'm not? " Goku sniffled, heartbroken.

      " OF COURSE YOU'RE NOT! I'VE TOLD YOU THAT PLENTY OF TIMES! Can't you get it through your thick kaka-head! " Vegeta

exclaimed.

      " But, but Veggie said he luvs me. " the larger saiyajin looked down at his feet and sulked.

      " You know better than to hurt your princess's feelings like that, Vegeta. " Freeza mocked, " It'd be such a shame to

see such a "closely-bonded" couple breakup like that. "

      " THEY'RE NOT A COUPLE YOU BOWLING-BALL HEADED FREAK OF NATURE! " Chi-Chi screamed at Freeza, getting up and bringing

Goku with her, " GOKU HAPPENS TO BE MY HUSBAND! AND I DON'T WANT YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE SPREADING LIES ABOUT HIM AND THE OUJI!

...well, maybe the Ouji...BUT NOT GOKU! "

      " And you would be? " Freeza asked, amused.

      Chi-Chi grabbed him by the collar and held him up above the ground, " Your worst nightmare. "

      " OooooOOOooh! " Goku said as if he were an audiance in a sitcom, " KICK HIS BUTT, CHI-CHAN! "

      " Heh. " Chi-Chi tossed Freeza up as far as she could and landed a powerful kick to his groin, " HA! TAKE THAT YOU

JERK! "

      Freeza landed easily on his feet, assumingly without pain, " Well, I'm certainly disappointed. "

      " Oh my God he's not a GUY! " Chi-Chi gawked. She turned to Goku and Vegeta, " You both said he was a guy! "

      " He is. At least I always THOUGHT he was. " Goku said, confused.

      " I happen to have a very high tolerance to pain, thank you. " Freeza explained. Vegeta opened his mouth to say

something, " --And as for your compact oozaru forms; very clever, but I'll have you know, Vegeta, that I've been around a lot

longer than you and I've seen my fair share of saiyajin attacking me in that form because they had this crazy idea that the

fur made them appear more 'terrifying'. Well it doesn't work. " he turned to Goku, " YOU, however, Son Goku, are the first

PINK compact oozaru I've ever seen. "

      " I am? " Goku blinked surprised.

      " Normally compact oozaru fur ranges from tones of red, orange, and brown. " Vegeta rattled off.

      " Oh. " Goku looked down at his furry arms, saddened. He perked up, " Well I guess that makes me pretty special,

huh! " he said cheerfully.

      Vegeta sighed, " It certainly makes you SOMETHING, Kakarrotto. "

      " Heeheehee. " Goku giggled as he watched his tail wag back and forth.

      " Say, why don't you two join the party now, hm? Afterall we set all this up just for you. " Freeza snickered evilly.

      Chi-Chi yanked Goku over to the side, " Go-chan! I think you better just ignore this guy so we can get to the fusions

. Isn't Freeza the one who actually accomplished KILLING the OUJI! "

      " Yeah.. " Goku glanced over at the little ouji while starting to feel a bit of heartache, " He DID kill my little

Veggie. And, and, killin Veggies isn't easy either. Everytime he shot Veggie again Veggie just sat up and kept talkin to me

until by the third or forth try he finally left me. " the large saiyajin's eyes watered.

      " That's my point! He's OBVIOUSLY lured you and the Ouji down here so he can kill BOTH of you! You for being the

"super saiyajin" and the Ouji for being, well, the Ouji! "

      " Why are you talking to Kakarrotto without me? " an annoyed voice said from below them. Goku looked down and Chi-Chi

looked partially downward to see Vegeta glaring up at them, " I'M the one who's plan got us this far! "

      " I WON'T LET HIM KILL YOU THIS TIME, VEGGIE! I PROMISE! " Goku wailed, grabbing and hugging the little ouji

tightly. Vegeta's face glowed bright red.

      " Wha...? " Vegeta choked out, trying his best not to let his brain fade off into one of his daydreams.

      " Oh my sweet little Veggie, Chi-chan says that the reason Freeza tricked us into coming down here to save our babies

is so he could KILL us! " Goku said, terrified, " AND I DON'T WANT MY VEGGIE TO DIE!!! "

      " I'm not GOING to die, baka! " Vegeta squeezed his way out of the hug and hovered in the air, face-to-face with a

teary-eyed Goku.

      " You're not? "

      " OF COURSE NOT! " Vegeta snapped, " Freeza didn't bring us all this way to kill us! He wants to humiliate us infront

of all our dead enemies! THAT'S WHY HE'S HOLDING OUR CHILDREN HOSTAGE! Why do you think with all the years I was enslaved

under Freeza's rule that he never killed me up until that whole Namek-sei incident? Because he'd rather see me SUFFER! " the

smaller saiyajin hissed through his teeth.

      " Lil' Vedge'ums that's HORRIBLE! " Goku sniffled, feeling sorry for him.

      " If it were me I just would'a flat-n-out killed you the first chance I got. " Chi-Chi said, gaining her own

increasing distaste for Freeza.

      " Thanks for the moral support, Onna. " Vegeta said flatly.

      " Don't mention it! " she said cheerfully, humoring him.

      " Uh-huh. " Vegeta twitched, then smirked at her, " Well Onna, it seems thanks to the fact the Freeza apparently

knows what compact oozaru forms are and has obviously recognized Kakarrotto and I, YOU have now gained Kakarrotto's previous

job in our little plan. In other words, it's your job to free the fusions while we keep Freeza busy--so don't blow it. " he

narrowed his eyes at her near the end of his sentence.

      " I hear ya, Ouji. Don't worry about it. It's not like I can't fly. " Chi-Chi said.

      " Hai, you CAN fly Onna, just not very well. "

      " WELL, if you're going to insult me like that then maybe I'll just forget about flying up there to untie your

"babies" and you can watch them be dropped into that big vat of whatever-that-stuff-is beneath them. " she snorted.

      " AHHH!! " Goku freaked out, " CHI-CHAN NO!!! " he grabbed her by the shoulders, " Veggie wouldn't let Gohan and

Goten die if it was THEM up there and Veggie was in your shoes! "

      " Goku, first of all, that Ouji would NEVER fit into MY SHOES-- " Chi-Chi started, defensively.

      " --hahaha, of course he couldn't, Chi-chan! Veggie's feet are littler than yours! " Goku chirped.

      " ... " Chi-Chi glared at him, " I'm not even going to comment on that one. " she said flatly. Chi-Chi sighed, " Fine

. I'll go up there and untie them, but I swear if I survive this with ANY limbs detached from my body, I will literally beat

the Ouji to death over the head with said limb. " she said, then turned to leave.

      " And where do you think YOU'RE going? "

      Chi-Chi looked over her shoulder to see Freeza staring at her suspicously.

      " To the bathroom? " she grinned cheesily.

      " Fine. Relieve yourself of your used-up body fluids, human. " Freeza brushed her off, " After all, I have to escort

everyone's favorite peasant-loving ouji out to where the party is. " he smirked evilly at Vegeta. The ouji paled as Chi-Chi

walked further off into the distance and seemingly shrinking in size. Vegeta felt a dark cloud of evil looming from behind

him and jumped when he saw a large, evil-looking claw clasp onto his shoulder. The small saiyajin glanced upward to see a

large, demonic-version of Freeza laughing maniacally down at him.

      " Kuso. " Vegeta choked out, then looked over at Goku while trying his best not to shake, ::Kakarrotto...help..:: he

mentally yelped.

      Goku stared at the nervous ouji, then narrowed his eyes at Freeza, walked up to him and smacked the icejin across the

back of the head; his blow nearly knocking Freeza's head off his body, " HEY! You cut that out! LEAVE VEGGIE ALONE!! " he

shouted, " And, and if you don't then I'm gonna ki-blast you into oblivion and when I do that then you'll cease to exist

ANYWHERE! AND YOU DON'T WANT THAT, DO YOU FREEZA!! " the larger saiyajin screamed in rage. Freeza let go of the smaller

saiyajin's shoulder.

      " Well I must say you are a very demanding princess, aren't you Son Goku? " Freeza said mockingly, trying to hide his

terror at Goku's sudden ooc outburst.

      " Veggie takes good care of me. " Goku smiled confidently, nodding.

      " YOU'RE NOT MY PRINCESS! " Vegeta snapped at him, then turned to Freeza, " HE'S NOT MY PRINCESS!! "

      " Your choice in clothingwear appears to say different. " Freeza said, motioning to the outfit his imagination had

concocted that the ouji was wearing.

      Vegeta blinked for a moment, confused, ::Wha?....THE CURSE! Oh dear God I fear to even look at what FREEZA sees me

as!:: he said mentally to himself, purposely avoiding looking the icejin in the eyes.

      " Follow me, your majesties, we have a table all set up for you to enjoy the view. " Freeza said as he lead Goku and

Vegeta over the bushes to where the rest of the villains were waiting.

      Before the two saiyajins stood a huge round table with chairs all around it. There was a fairly large heart-shaped

hole cut in the middle of the table with two chairs snuggly fit inside it. The chairs facing inwards and in the direction of

the far off fusions dangling over the gigantic boiling, bubbling pot.

      " Come, come! Sit down, enjoy the show! Infact, you are the show! So enjoy yourselves and have a seat at the chairs

of honor, hmm? " Freeza motioned for them to get into the two chairs in the middle of the table, " Don't mind it if you have

to walk overtop the table, it's not mine anyway. "

      Goku hopped ontop of the table, followed by an uneasy Vegeta; who was starting to notice a few more sinister changes

in the appearance of the villians around him due to the curse. The ouji stood at the edge of the 'heart' and looked down into

it.

      " Kakarrotto there's no way we can both fit in there without you getting your kaka-germs smushed all over me. "

      " That's the point. " Freeza injected. Vegeta paled, shuddering. He glanced about the further reaches of his field

of vision.

      ::Hurry up, Onna!!:: he mentally shouted as he slipped into the chair next to Goku. The larger saiyajin smiled

comfortingly at him.

      " Do not worry, extra little Veggie, I will protect you and make sure nobody hurts your sweet lil Veggie-body. "

Goku gave him a quick hug, seeing his version of Vegeta due to the vibration of helplessness the ouji had been giving off a

few moments ago. The villians all sat down at chairs around the table with Freeza at the head. Vegeta turned his attention

nervously to the various banners around them ranging from "Welcome, Mr. & Mrs. Oujisama" to ones that were more blantent such

as "Peasant-lover", "Royal-love-toy", and "Yaouji". Vegeta still visibly whinced at at the biggest sign of all which read

"Kakarrotto's Koibito" with a picture of the ouji beneath it. Many other signs were merely pictures or mock-drawings of the

two saiyajins. As an added personal joke, all the signs were written in Vegeta's homeplanet language of saiyago, causing Goku

to be unable to read a word of the various romantically-implied insult/remarks pointed at one or both of them. Some of the

signs strayed away from even the saiyajins relationship and were flat out insults pointed at either Goku or Vegeta on how

they would suffer for killing those who had written those particular signs. Several of these were death-threats. Vegeta

gulped.

      " Veggie what's that sign say? " Goku asked, pointing to one of the signs. Vegeta flushed bright red at the words and

shook it off.

      " Kakarrotto, nevermind the signs. Infact, forget about them! " Vegeta laughed nervously. He went into serious mode,

" Kakarrotto. I want you to keep your cool. If we just breeze through this without losing our tempers I'm sure it'll work out

oh-kay and we can come away from this with the least amount of mental-trama possible. "

      Goku blinked, confused, " Uh, oh-kay Veggie. "

      Freeza stood up from the table and pushed in his chair. He coughed a bit to clear his throat, " Now, Mr. and Mrs.

Oujisama, greetings. We're all very happy to have you both here today to witness a possible end to both of your little

babies. "

      Goku whimpered at the sight of the two fusions hanging over the pot. Vegeta looked over at them as well and had to

do a double-take to see the fact that to him the fusions looked like they were chibis no older than Goten. He tried to shake

it off.

      " However, there IS a way to prevent their imminent demise. Unfortunately this same course of action could hasten

their death as well. It all depends on HOW you both answer a few, simple, questions. " Freeza smirked evilly, " Every time

you answer a question with a lie, Cell over here will send a small amount of ki in the direction of the rope above your two

children. Since each lie causes the rope to be zapped thinner, the more lies you let out of your mouths, the closer and

closer your beloved little babies that you both cherish so much; will get to falling into that big vat of boiling liquid and

DIE! "

      " AHHHAHA! " Goku shrieked, nearly ready to leap out of his seat and go flying off to save the fusions right now.

      " You leave before you answer the questions and we'll send a big enough blast of ki to not only send them falling,

but also fry them both to a crisp in the process. Judging from their ki they seem to be sleeping as well. How quaint. "

Freeza said, then turned back to Goku, " Now sit down 'Mrs. Oujisama' you don't want to be too hasty you know. "

      " Kakarrotto! " Vegeta whispered loudly, tugging on Goku's gi and trying to get him back into his seat, " Just sit

down. If they keep looking over there they'll spot Onna and catch her and then we're REALLY done for! "

      Goku looked back at the extra-kawaii-due-to-his-hallucination, ouji and pouted, then plopped himself down in the

seat, " Buh Veggie-- "

      " If we keep their attention away from that end of the, uh, ground here then it'll give Onna more time to get to them

. " Vegeta said, sensing Chi-Chi's ki slowly getting closer towards the huge pot and the fusions.

      ::What about the questions, Veggie?::

      ::We ignore them. Find a way around the answers. You know--::

      ::--you mean "cheat", Veggie? Oh I don't like to cheat, Veggie:: Goku thought, worried.

      ::I MEAN, whenever they ask us a question, we avoid answering it by changing the subject, agreed? "

      ::You got it, Veggie!:: Goku gave him a cheerful thumbs up.

      Freeza walked over towards Goku's side of the heart, " So, Son Goku, how long have you known your little friend here?

" he asked, snickering.

      " Hey! Is that a bird? " Goku said cheerfully, looking upward obliviously.

      Freeza sweatdropped, " This is gonna take a while. "

      " This is gonna take a REAL long while. " Chi-Chi muttered as she observed where the fusions hung from behind a large

tree and a few bushes, " How am I gonna fly up there fast enough to get to them without those morons seeing me! " she said,

frustrated as she stared up at the fusions, then suddenly noticed something very odd, specifically, the buttons and string

as facial features on the duo. Chi-Chi gawked as it hit her, " Plushies...they're not really those crazy half-oujis, those

are STUFFED TOYS! "

      " And you're under arrest! " a voice said from beside her. Chi-Chi looked down to see a pair of handcuffs now on her

wrists. She glanced upward to see Gogeta grinning Son-style at her, " You have the right to remain silent! Anything you do or

say can be used against you in a court of law! "

      " YOU! " Chi-Chi snapped, " WHAT ARE YOU DOING DOWN HERE INSTEAD OF UP THERE?! AND WHY ARE YOU ARRESTING ME!!! "

      " Shh! Hey lady, be quiet! We're both planning on attacking Freeza when he's got his guard down. Besides Enma already

made an order that until we get Freeza that all citizens are banned from being within so many yards of here! " Vejitto

snapped quietly.

      " ...neither of you seriously know who I am, do you? " Chi-Chi said flatly.

      " ...not really, no. " Vejitto fumbled for an answer.

      " Can I still arrest her anyway? " Gogeta asked his brother.

      " YOU IDIOTS! IT'S ME, CHI-CHI! "

      " Chi-Chi? " Vejitto gawked, rubbing his eyes in surprise.

      " Hey, it IS Onna! " Gogeta said, narrowing his eyes to get a better look. He beamed, " I arrested Onna! Hooray for

me!!! " he cheered happily.

      " Well now that you know who I am, do you mind taking the handcuffs off? " Chi-Chi asked, sweatdropping.

      " You know I always had this sinking feeling she'd end up in h.f.i.l. this time. " Vejitto said to Gogeta, who nodded

. Chi-Chi fell over.

      " I'M NOT DEAD! I'M HERE WITH GOKU AND THE OUJI TO SAVE YOU TWO!! " she exclaimed.

      " OH. " they both said in unison.

      " Well, we didn't really need saving, but thanks anyway! " Vejitto said cheerfully, shaking her hand.

      " What do you MEAN you didn't need help being saved! " Chi-Chi shouted, " WE'RE ALL RISKING LIFE AND DEATH OUT HERE

FOR YOU TWO HALF-OUJI-SPAWNED CREATURES AND NOW YOU SAY YOU DON'T NEED HELP!! "

      " NOW I know why I didn't recognize you, you have hair! " Gogeta chirped randomly. Chi-Chi looked at him in disbelief

.

      " I've ALWAYS had hair, Ouji-spawn #2. " she said, cocking an eyebrow.

      " He means your missing that big black ball on the back of your head. " Vejitto said, pointing to his own head.

      " You mean my bun? "

      " No...I mean that big black ball on the ba-- "

      " --that's what it's called. "

      " Nuh-uh, that's what you call your butt. What I said was-- "

      " --A BUN IS A TYPE OF HAIRSTYLE YOU NITWIT! " Chi-Chi snapped, then groaned, " What's with you two, you're both in

Goku-mode today. I mean, I normally prefer that to when you two act more Oujish, but somehow I don't think that's exactly

going to help us save Goku and the Ouji now, is it? "

      " Kaasan and Toussan are here! " Vejitto yelped, it suddenly hitting him.

      " Yes, Freeza has them trapped inside that table over there, see? They came to save you. " she pointed over to the

table that was surrounded by Freeza and his co-horts.

      " Mommy.. " Vejitto squeaked out in a worried whimper, then quickly snapped back into a vegeta-like attitude, " OOH!

Wait'll I get my hands on Freeza this time I'll beat him up so bad that he'll have such terrible brain-damage that he won't

even be able to add 2 + 2 without gettin a braincramp! "

      " Heehee, braincramp. " Gogeta giggled. He paused and examined the two saiyajins for a moment, then grinned, " HEY!

They're both in compact oozaru! I can do that! " he chirped, then let out a blast of ki large enough to transform without

anyone noticing. Reddish-brown fur popped out all over his arms, back, and legs--which were unable to be seen beneath his

pants. His tail's brown fur also changed to the tint that was all over parts of his body now.

      Chi-Chi gawked, then turned to Vejitto, " What about you? "

      Vejitto coughed once to divert attention away from himself, then looked away.

      " Oh, he tried once and he didn't get it right and now he's afraid to try it again. " Gogeta explained.

      " Why? " Chi-Chi blinked, surprised.

      Gogeta whispered to her, " It came out an un-natural color. "

      Chi-Chi let out a few chuckles in Vejitto's direction, " Oh, hahaha, I bet I know what, haha, color it is. "

      " STOP TALKING ABOUT ME WHEN I'M STANDING RIGHT OVER HERE! " Vejitto exclaimed, a large sweatdrop on the side of his

head, " I probably just did it wrong, or I didn't compress my ki enough or something. Saiyajin fur isn't supposed to be that

color! "

      " Pink? " Chi-Chi smirked. Vejitto's face instantly paled.

      " Why did you say pink? TELL ME! " he demanded.

      Chi-Chi shushed him, then motioned the fusions to quietly follow her back towards the bushes behind the table. The

two fusions peeked through a few small holes in the bushes.

      Gogeta made an o form with his mouth, enlightened, " Oh! So that's who he gets it from. Mommy has pink fur. " he

said, motioning to Goku. He let out a few giggles and looked back at Vejitto with a michevious grin on his face, " Looks like

you didn't mess up the first time after all. Heehee, *pink*. " he looked back towards their parents, " Not even dark-pink or

maroon-pink. It's like, little-girl pink. HAHA--oww! " he twitched after Vejitto bopped him over the head while laughing,

" That wasn't very nice you know! "

      Vejitto snorted.

      " Hey, hey Jitto, why don't you try it again. Maybe it won't turn out pink this time after all. " Gogeta said with

encouragement in his voice.

      Vejitto blinked at him, then smiled, " Alright. " he let a burst of power come forth, causing fur to sprout out of

his limbs and around his chest area as well. Vejitto looked down and sweatdropped to see the same pink fur as before. He

visibly twitched, " KUSO! "

      " HAHAHAHAHA!! " Gogeta was rolling on the floor with laughter, " ~*PINK*~! HAHA! "

      " It's not funny! Majin Buu was pink! " Vejitto snapped, annoyed.

      " That's what Goku said. " Chi-Chi replied.

      " Yeah! And, and, that fat henchman of Freeza's, Dodoria--he was pink. And, and, Piccolo has pink elbows and knees! "

he added, then noticed Gogeta still laughing on the floor. Vejitto glared, then powered back down to normal.

      Gogeta pouted, " Aw... "

      " I'm not going to stand around here and have you point and laugh at me for being...."pink" furred. " Vejitto said

with slight disgust at the word pink.

      " Where did you two learn how to do that anyway? " Chi-Chi asked.

      " Compact oozaru? We know about it from Kaasan's-- "

      " --Toussan's " Gogeta corrected with his own opinon.

      " --Kaasan's memories that we each have in our heads along with Toussan's. " Vejitto went back to explaining, " That

and we've made friends with quite a few of the other saiyajins that were banished down here after they died in Bejito-sei's

explosion. From what we've seen there's a lot more saiyajins in h.f.i.l. than in heaven. "

      " We do guard duty there from time-to-time too! " Gogeta grinned.

      " Yeah, and you'll never believe who made up there first. " Vejitto said with a chuckle.

      " Who? " Chi-Chi looked at him curiously.

      " Remember that entire village of type 3 saiyajins, you know, there was like over 100 of them and they all looked

like Goku but thanks to hearing from him his explaination of Vegeta they all got starry-eyed and then Vege--Toussan later

found them and brought them back to the castle but they all turned out obsessed, dominating, and competitive with each other

over who would get to be Toussan's "#1" until later on when he and Kaasan kicked them all out of the castle? " Gogeta rattled

off. Chi-Chi paled.

      " They're ALL up-- "

      " --yeah. "

      " --every single one of-- "

      " --yup. "

      " Apparently when the planet was blown up and Enma looked over his list of the villagers good vs bad deeds, 99% of

everything they'd done in life was good. " Vejitto explained, " The 1% had something to do with over-affection leading them

to become dominating over those around them. I dunno, I didn't really pay that much attention. "

      " Dear God, if the Ouji ever DID make it up to heaven... " Chi-Chi trailed off, then started snickering to herself,

" You know what, haha, this must be the first time I've actually wanted to have him end up "up there". " she said as she

imagined a terrified-looking Vegeta being surrounded by the 100-some Goku-look-a-like villagers staring at him with eager,

sneaky grins on their faces while she lay contently under a far off tree in her own Goku's arms, " Yup! I think that would

work out just fine! " Chi-Chi said cheerfully. Gogeta and Vejitto sweatdropped at her thought-bubble, " Well, that's enough

of that. You're both safe. No Gokus was harmed in the making of this daydream; now let's go save my Go-chan and the Ouji! "

she said, heading towards the bushes behind Freeza. She paused, then lamely walked back to them, " Do you mind removing the

handcuffs already? "

      " Aw.... " Gogeta pouted, taking them off, " Can I still arrest you later? " he said eagerly.

      " Whadda you think? " Chi-Chi said flatly.

      " No, huh. " the saiyajin frowned.

      " Now hurry up! Let's try to save them BEFORE the Ouji goes senile, alright? " Chi-Chi groaned.

      " Aye-aye ma'am! " the fusions saluted Chi-Chi, then marched past her. She sweatdropped.

      " You know the sad part is I can't even tell if they were joking with me or not. "

      " Listen Son Goku, if you avoid the question one more time I SWEAR I'LL--I'LL-- " Freeza said, getting frustrated

with the large saiyajin. One of Freeza's lackey's tugged on his shoulder and whispered something to him. Freeza paused and

a big smirk appeared on his face instead of the previous emotion of raging anger, " Son Goku, if you answer the question,

you will be rewarded with a cookie. "

      " Cookie? " Goku's eyes lit up. Vegeta froze.

      " Kakarrotto--Kakarrotto forget the cookie! " he exclaimed.

      Freeza snapped his fingers and several henchman came forth wheeling what looked to be the universe's largest

chocolate-chip cookie.

      " Cooooooooooooooooooooooooookie. " Goku drooled at the sight of the pastry; his stomach growling with a craving

hunger.

      " Now. Son Goku. How long have you known our royal little friend here. " Freeza pointed to Vegeta, then motioned one

of his lackeys wearing protective rubber gloves to throw a chunk of the cookie into Goku's mouth.

      Goku happily ate it, then sat back, more relaxed, " I feel like I've known my sweet lil-lil Veggie for-ever. " he

sighed dreamily. Vegeta felt his face heat up.

      " And what about YOU, Vegeta? " Freeza snickered.

      " 22 years. " Vegeta said quickly, trying to smack the redness from his face by looking downward and smacking both

sides of his head with his hands.

      " Really it's only been that long? " Goku said, surprised, " I thought it was more than that. "

      " It feels longer to you because in otherworld time moves a lot faster even though you don't age. " Vegeta said,

halfway to getting the glow to fade from his face.

      " Ohhhh, I know. I've missed so much Veggietime during those 7 years I am so sorry little Veggie. " the larger

saiyajin gave Vegeta a hug, then let go, " If there is anything Veggie ever needs me to do for him all he has to do is ask me

and I'll do it for him. " Goku patted the ouji's hands.

      " Please stop that. You're weirding me out. " Vegeta said, his cheeks flushing red as he pulled his hands away.

      " ... " Goku blinked cluelessly, " Oh-kay Veggie! " he said happily, " I will not pat little Veggie's hands unless

asked by little Veggie to do so! " he smiled, then grabbed one of Vegeta's hands and held, then squeezed it tightly. The ouji

sweatdropped.

      " Baka. "

      " Aw, isn't that cute. " Recoome poked fun at them, " Vegeta finally got himself a girlfriend. "

      " Kakarrotto I swear if you don't let go of my hand right now I shall rip it right off of it's socket. I MEAN IT. "

Vegeta gritted through his teeth.

      " Aw, no you don't Veggie! " Goku said, letting go and pointing his pointer finger upward, " And I know that because

little Veggie would never cause harm to me in any way possible because he luvs me SO! "

      " He DOES, DOES he? " Freeza smirked in Vegeta's direction, then turned towards him instead of Goku, " Vegeta, is

Son Goku here special to you? "

      Vegeta glanced over at Goku who was staring at him with big sparkily eyes. The ouji sweatdropped.

      " All those under my rule are special to me. " Vegeta said boastfully.

      " Hai! But I'm the most specialist of all! " Goku chirped.

      " Is he, Vegeta? " Freeza asked.

      " ... "

      " Vegeta? "

      " ... "

      " VEGETA! "

      " ... "

      Freeza snorted, then elbowed Cell who shot a fairly large blast of ki at the sting, severing several parts of it.

Goku let out a shriek and Vegeta paled.

      " Vegeta, if I ordered you to hit Son Goku as hard as you could right now, would you do it? " Freeza said, changing

the subject in order to calm down.

      " No. " Vegeta said bluntly.

      " And why not. "

      " BECAUSE I don't take orders from YOU anymore. AND I don't punish my peasants unless they do something terribly

wrong. " Vegeta said, then glanced over at Goku who was grinning stupidly at him, " ...and that doesn't happen very often. "

      " Well, then how about a kiss for your princess over there, hmm? " Freeza said, " I mean, you being in such a

generous and kind-hearted mood and all, Vegeta. "

      Goku raised his arm, " I'm not allowed to smooch Veggie according to one of Chi-chan's laws that says if I even try

to smooch Veggie I can be punished by being locked away in my room without any Veggie-contact for up to two whole months. "

      " "Veggie-contact"? " Freeza looked questioningly.

      Vegeta sighed, " That means Kakarrotto couldn't spar with me, play with me, eat with me,-- "

      " --sleep with hi--YAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! " Jeice started only to have a huge

blast of ki from Vegeta's hand fry him to a crisp.

      " Oops. " Vegeta said in a mock-innocent fashion.

      " VEGGIE! You can't kill dead people!! ::They'll disappear from existance altogether!:: " Goku chided him. Vegeta

blinked in surprise at Goku's thought.

      " Really? "

      " YES, really! "

      " Well, Freeza's next. " Vegeta smirked, cracking his knuckles.

      " VEGGIE NO! ::Our fusion-babies! REMEMBER!:: he motioned to where Gogeta and Vejitto were "tied up" at the moment.

      Vegeta mentally cursed in his native language, ::Fine! As soon as Onna gets them out of there, THEN I zap Freeza into

oblivion!:: the ouji corrected.

      ::Where IS Chi-chan? Shouldn't she have gotten there by now? Even with the fact that she is a lil slower runner than

we are?:: Goku thought, starting to get worried.

      ::Baka Onna, I bet she decided to run off and desert us!::

      Goku gasped, ::Oh NO, Veggie! Chi-chan would never do that! She's not a bad person, her brain's just getting old!::

      ::Yes she would! Peh, do you REALLY think she cares about going to save our "fusion-babies"? Of course not! Dooming

them just means she'll have two less "ouji-related problems" to deal with. And she knows you can teleport yourself out of

here easily along with me. And if that's really what happened to her then we HAVE to answer Freeza's baka questions. But I

want you to give him the vaguest answers possible::

      ::O--Oh-kay Veggie:: Goku mentally replied.

      " Son Goku, as much as I'm sure you and Vegeta enjoy staring at each other, I need you to answer a question. " Freeza

chuckled at them.

      " We weren't STARING at each other. " Vegeta growled, a red line over his nose.

      " Yeah! We were having a mental conversation with each other! " Goku said defensively. He smiled, " That means I was

talking with Veggie through our heads. We can do that. "

      " Can you. " Freeza looked mildly interested.

      " Kakarrotto's always had pretty high psychic abilities in contrast to his actual intellegence. ::AND thanks to those

baka portara earrings and their baka fusion!:: " he mentally added in annoyance.

      " A mind reader, huh? " Freeza smirked.

      Goku nodded happily, " Sorta. "

      " Can you tell all of us here at the table what Vegeta thinks of you? "

      The little ouji froze, then bit his lip, wondering what Goku was going to say.

      " Well... " Goku started, " little Veggie loves me a whole bunch! E--even though he sometimes thinks I'm a lil

oblivious-n-stupid, he'd do anything for me just like I'd do anything for him! And right now what he wants to do for me is to

help me save our babies and dispel all those mean rumors your spreading about us! "

      " Aww, isn't that touching. " Freeza mocked, then turned to Vegeta and transformed back into the huge, scary monster

the ouji's hallucination had seen earlier. Vegeta felt nervous sweat drip down his face, " Don't you think so, Vegeta? "

      The ouji gulped slightly as to not allow Freeza to see it.

      Freeza glanced back over at Goku, " Son Goku, are you REALLY Vegeta's oujo? "

      " No. " the larger saiyajin looked downward, frowning.

      " And why DO you want his oujo? "

      " B--because,....because in this alternate future in a 100 years I end up as Veggie's oujo and future Veggie treated

future me so wonderfully and was so nice to future me and bought him all sortsa beautiful stuff and took such good care of

him and gave him the most delicious food ever....and he was NEVER mean or grumpy at all. Future Veggie's the sweetest, most

understanding person I've ever met. He takes future me on trips all over the universe too! And that's why I wanna be Veggie's

oujo,....because it's the highest honor Veggie could ever give you. If I were Veggie's oujo, he'd treat me even better than

he does now. And that's sayin' a whole lot. " Goku sighed contently.

      Freeza stood there, gawking at him. A few of the villains across the table were starting to cry at Goku's touching

answer. Freeza glared momentarily and sent huge ki blasts at them, frying the other end of the table to a crisp.

      " You mean, you want to be Vegeta's princess not because of romantic terms, but because you think he'll treat you

nicer!? " Freeza stared in disbelief.

      " Oh MUCH nicer! " Goku nodded happily, " Future Veggie was sooOOOoooOOOOoOOOoo NICE! He even let me eat chocolate

when I used his bathtub and present Veggie NEVER lets me shower or bathe in his house and Chi-chan says I'm not allowed to

eat candy when I'm in our tub! "

      Vegeta blinked, " You mean all I have to do is let you eat candy in my bathroom and you'll stop going on about this

"oujo" thing? " he beamed.

      " Heck no! " Goku chirped, " I got plenty'a other reasons! And besides all I gotta do is wait for the day sometime

between now and 100 years from now when Veggie decides to let me be the oujo! "

      Vegeta sweatdropped, " I knew it was too good to be true. "

      " Heh-heh, almost there. " a voice from behind the bushes snickered as he watched Freeza pace past Goku and Vegeta,

almost to the end of the table.

      " You have a very interesting mind, Son Goku. " Freeza commented, " Vegeta, I hear you both have a unique bond--

through your right ear and Son Goku's left ear--due to the, portara fusion. " he motioned to where Vejitto was hanging next

to Gogeta, " Doesn't that make him your oujo anyway? "

      " NO. Being given a royal saiyajin title is a hard task and it takes several different steps. Besides, Bulma's

already halfway there so she's technically my oujo...with the exception of the last two steps in which, because of our

difference in physical strength, would probably kill her if I attempted it. "

      " I'm stronger than Veggie! " Goku said excitedly, " Veggie wouldn't kill me by teaching me how to do the steps! "

      " NO WAY! I'M NOT TEACHING YOU ANY OF IT!! " Vegeta snapped angrily, " YOU'RE NOT MY OUJO AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO

BE MY OUJO! YOU WERE BORN AS ONE OF MY PEASANTS AND THAT'S HOW YOU'RE GOING TO STAY! I CAN'T HAVE KAKARROTTO AS MY OUJO

!! "

      Goku's shoulders slumped and his eyes began to water in heartbreak. Vegeta faltered for a moment.

      " Oh Veggie... " Goku sniffled, hurt, " Doesn't Veggie luv me? "

      " Aww... " all the villains at the table said in mock-sympathy, making the larger saiyajin ache even more and adding

more guilt to the ouji.

      " Yes Vegeta, don't you "luv" him? After all those nice things he said about you too? " Freeza snickered.

      " KAKARROTTO CAN'T BE MY OUJO! " Vegeta yelled at the icejin, then nearly fell over when he heard the larger saiyajin

starting to sob into his hands.

      " He said you'd do anything for him. Anything to make him happy. And now you're crushing his heart in the palm of

your hand before all of us. Isn't that amusing. " Freeza laughed, " You know, that makes him a liar, Vegeta. " he said as

Cell powered up another ki blast and shot it at the ropes, destorying the majority of them. Goku screamed at the sight and

Vegeta yelped in horror, " Your poor, poor princess. Poor sweet Kakarrotto. "

      Goku whinced and Vegeta glared at Freeza. He got up off the chair and started walking across the table towards him.

Goku watched in confusion. Vegeta burst into ssj2 and grabbed a surprised Freeza by the throat.

      " You listen here! Just because I haven't given Kakarrotto the "grand honor" of being my oujo doesn't mean I don't

care! I care for all my subjects, all my peasants. But I do..love, Kakarrotto. He is by far my favorite peasant of the whole

kingdom. But he has no idea as to the extent of exactly WHAT a saiyajin oujo does. And apparently, neither do you. " he

squeezed Freeza's throat tighter as he formed a ball of ki in his hands, " Oh, and by the way, nobody calls him Kakarrotto,

but me. Got it? " Vegeta gave a content little smile, which quickly turned back to rage and the ouji sent the ki blast

directly at Freeza. The icejin flew into the air. He struggled to stop his trajectory when all of a sudden another ki blast

came from beneath him. Freeza looked down to see a ki-cuff around his neck connected to what looked like one of the largest

ki ball and chains connected to it. He twitched and waved a pitiful goodbye before the heavy weight yanked him back down to

the floor at incredible speed.

      A second figure lept out of the bushes near the first one and grabbed Goku and Vegeta, teleporting them back behind

the bushes while the first one sent a huge blast of ki that trapped the entire group of villains and their table with a ki

shield.

      The two still slightly disoriented saiyajins looked up to see Gogeta grinning down at them, " HELLO! " he dropped

Goku and Vegeta to the floor.

      " GOGGIE AND JI-CHAN! " Goku squealed, " You are SAFE! " he glomped the two fusions, " We were all so worried about

you! "

      " Heee~~! " they both grinned son-style back at him.

      " Wait a--then what are THOSE! " Vegeta pointed back to the two figures hanging over the pot of boiling liquid.

      Vejitto teleported and grabbed them, then teleported back to Vegeta and the others, " PLUSHIES WITH SOME OF OUR KI

INSIDE! "

      " Aww, Ji-chan they are so cute! " Goku poked the plushies, " And they look just like you & Goggie. "

      " We worked very hard on them. " Gogeta said proudly, taking his own plushie and giving it a hug, " They were gonna

be decoys while we snuck up from behind and trapped the bad guys! "

      " But, what about us? " Goku blinked, confused.

      " We didn't know you were coming. " Vejitto explained, " But thanks for comin to save us anyways! Nice t-shirt,

mommy! " he gave Vegeta at thumbs up.

      " It doesn't say mommy, it says daddy! " Gogeta retorted.

      " NO, it says MOMMY! "

      " I'm not wearing a t-shirt. " Vegeta sweatdropped.

      " Veggie was cursed earlier today. " Goku said, " Everybody sees what they think he looks like in their head. "

      " Wow, and our only change was the title of a non-existant t-shirt? " Vejitto said, slightly disappointed, " I

thought I had a better imagination than that. "

      " Oh yeah, well you two still look like chibis to me. " Vegeta said dryly.

      " Veggie's affected by it too. " Goku explained.

      " We really look all cute-n-chibi, Toussan? " Gogeta smiled eagerly up at him; well, to Vegeta's hallucination he

appeared to be looking up instead of down at him.

      " I wish our lil fusion-babies really WERE all cute-n-chibified! " Goku clasped his hands together.

      " YEAH! " Gogeta cheered while Vejitto face-faulted.

      " I dunno.. " he looked wary of the idea.

      " You'd get lotsa free pastries and candy and snacks! " Gogeta added.

      " YEAH! " Vejitto cheered the same way Gogeta just had.

      Vegeta sweatdropped, " Well, you're not. "

      " Isn't anybody going to say anything to me? " Chi-Chi asked, a large sweatdrop on the side of her head.

      " By the way, Goggie, nice fur! " Goku smiled.

      " Thanks! " Gogeta said happily, " Jitto can go compact oozaru too, but he's embarassed cuz his fur is pink! "

      " You poor kid. " Vegeta said to Vejitto, seriously feeling sorry for him, " ...you can try dying it red or brown or

orange or something like that. "

      " Would that work? " Vejitto asked, interested.

      " Yeah. " Vegeta replied.

      Vejitto powered up to compact oozaru for a moment, then stared at himself, sickened. He beamed eagerly at Vegeta,

" I'll do it! Let's go find ourselves a store that sells hair-dye! " he looked over at Goku, " You wanna dye your fur a

non-pink color too, Toussan? "

      " But I'm just starting to like it. " Goku pouted. Vegeta sweatdropped.

      " Fine! Stay *pink*, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta grumbled. He and the fusions powered back down to normal form.

      Goku looked at his arms, " What about me? "

      " Just relax and clear your large, empty, kaka-mind for a moment. "

      " Oh-kay! " Goku nodded, then relaxed the focus he had to use on the form and the fur eventually disappeared until

he was also back to normal, " Haha! I am pink no longer, little Veggie! "

      " Good. " Vegeta said bluntly, " Now let's get out of here. "

      " Yes. This place is starting to get a little too creepy for its own good. " Chi-Chi muttered, then looked over at

Vegeta and Goku, " You're lucky I found them! Who knows what sick things that evil gender-yet-to-be-decided icejin would've

made you do! "

      " Thank u Chi-chan! " Goku gave her a hug, then walked with her while hugging and glanced over to Vegeta, " Hey

Veggie, was what you said to Freeza true? Do you really luv me? "

      Vegeta twitched, going bright red, " Yes, I really "luv" you. " he spat out, then panicked, " But-in-a-platonic-way,-

-of-course!!! "

      " Heeheehee. " Goku giggled, grinning at him.

      " Yeah it BETTER be in a platonic way, that's for sure. " Chi-Chi grumbled.

      " Heehee, YEAH! " Goku said happily, " ...hey Veggie, what's plate-tonic mean? " he tilted his head in a happy,

clueless way.

      Vegeta slapped himself on the forhead, " Nevermind, Kakarrotto. Just forget it. " he groaned.

      " Aww, I could NEVER forget how much Veggie wuvs me! " Goku teased him, grabbing the ouji's left cheek and pinching

it, " Heehee! "

      " CUT IT OUT! " Vegeta snapped, embarassed.

      " Lalalalala, " Goku sang, not paying attention to Vegeta's yelling and instead hopped up so it looked like Chi-Chi

was giving him a piggyback ride. She let out a small yelp and felt her legs quake from the weight.

      " Goku..get off! "

      " But I like it here. " he pouted, then grinned at Vegeta, " Unless VEGGIE wants to give me a ride on his back. "

      Chi-Chi froze, then noticed the smirk on Vegeta's face, " NO! No no no no no! Goku--let's just switch places. "

      " K! " Goku said, then teleported off of her and reappeared infront of her. He picked Chi-Chi up and trotted in a

horse-like way towards the secret exit which led back to Enma's desk. Chi-Chi hugged onto him tightly, happy.

      " So what's going to happen to Freeza and the others now? " Vegeta asked, curious.

      Vejitto pulled out what looked like a little cell-phone and hit several buttons, " NOW I call the regular police and

they come to the scene of the crime to hall them a-way to jail! "

      " You know I never did get to see what Freeza was hallucinating of me. " Vegeta thought outloud, then grimaced,

" I'm not sure I even want to after all that. "

      " Aw, don't worry extra-little Veggie! " Goku said, " Besides I have the BEST Veggie-illusion of all! " he said,

proud of himself, " No one can top "extra-little, super-kawaii" Veggie! "

      " Uh-huh. " Vegeta sweatdropped as he opened the door up the stairs back to Enma's office. He turned to the two

fusions, who had stopped walking about 2 feet behind them. Vegeta put his hands on his hips, " WELL? Are you coming or not? "

      " But we can't just leave our work just like that. " Gogeta said sadly.

      " You just captured by Freeza! And besides you two don't belong down here anyway, think of it as a break. " Vegeta

shrugged, then turned to Vejitto, " And you want to get rid of your kaka-colored fur, right? "

      Vejitto burst into compact oozaru and gave Goku a slightly annoyed look. Goku giggled back at him. Vejitto turned

back to Vegeta, " Yes, yes I do. " he powered back down.

      " Good. Now hurry up; I have to get back to the lookout and see if Bulma and Dende have found a way to cure this

stupid curse already. After we do that we'll all go back to Capsule Corp and you two can pick out your own rooms to stay in."

Vegeta said. The fusions smiled and teleported to where the others were.

      " You mean little Veggie is inviting our sweet lil-lil fusion-babies to live with us? " Goku said, elated, " WOW!

Veggie just gained another 1,000 points on my "favorite people" meter! "

      " You're keeping track?! " Chi-Chi said in disbelief.

      " Hai! I gotta chart & everything! " Goku grinned up at her, " I drew it myself! "

      " Is 1,000 points a lot, Kaka-chan? " Vegeta tilted his head curiously.

      " EEEE! Veggie gets another 400 points just for that cute lil Veggie-headtilt he did just now! " Goku said in awe.

      Vegeta flashed an evil grin at Chi-Chi, who's bottom left eyelid twitched.

      " Veggie gets minus 1/8th of a point for creeping out Chi-chan! " Goku smiled. Chi-Chi face-faulted.

      " WAITAMINUTE! HE GETS 400 POINTS FOR TILTING HIS EVIL LITTLE HEAD BUT HE ONLY GETS DEDUCTED 1/8 OF A POINT FOR

CREEPING ME OUT! WHAT KIND OF MATH SYSTEM ARE YOU USING ON THIS "CHART" ANYWAY! " she demanded.

      " I dunno. I was never very good at math! " Goku grinned.

      The others sweatdropped.

      " Well let's get going then! " Vejitto said happily as they continued their way up the stairs, " Teleporting in or

out of h.f.i.l. is illegal and we got a long way to walk back to Enma's! " he nodded, then broke into a grin, " I'm gonna

get my very own room I can't wait!! " Vejitto pumped a fist in the air.

      " And we get to live with Toussan too! " Gogeta skipped past him and then backwards while watching the others.

      " Hai. I'm not letting the only two heirs to my title stay in this crappy place any longer. " Vegeta nodded, " You

wanna still do some guard duty up above there every once in a while that's fine with me. But not here. You're my children and

you don't belong down here with Cell and Freeza and Ginyu and all those other kusotares! "

      " Aww, Veggie. "

      The ouji sweatdropped and looked over to his left to see Goku smiling musingly at him. Vegeta freaked out and ran

ahead a couple steps.

      " I luv it when you're so nice to our lil fusion-babies like you are right now. It is very admirable. " the larger

saiyajin sighed.

      Chi-Chi bobbed him on the head, " Goku snap out of it! "

      Goku sweatdropped, " Ohhh...sorry Chi-chan. "

      " Better. "

      " OHHH! It's HOPELESS! " Bulma groaned as she slammed her head down onto the book she was reading, " There's

absolutely no spell or sign in any of these entire books that can help us! How am I gonna explain this to Vegeta when he gets

back! "

      " HI! " a happy voice came from across the room. Bulma sweatdropped to see, Goku, Chi-Chi, the fusions, and Vegeta

standing there.

      " Well, we're about to find out. " Dende mumbled.

      " So, I assume all is well and you've found a foolproof spell that will remove the curse from me, eh? " Vegeta

boasted as he proudly walked towards the table.

      " Oh God... " Bulma's eyes bulged out of her head as she stared downward at the book.

      " Well.....aren't you going to tell me how you've miraculously solved my problem and saved the day? " the ouji

cocked an eyebrow.

      " Ugh, Vegeta, I--- " Bulma looked up, " --hey what are Vejitto and Gogeta doing here? "

      " Oh. They're going to be living at Capsule Corp from now on. They're the only two heirs to my throne and title of

the saiyajin no ouji. They're demi-oujis, if you will. " he explained, " And after THIS particular little incident the last

place they belong in is h.f.i.l. "

      " Wow Vegeta, that's pretty nice of you. " Bulma said, impressed.

      " Heh. " Vegeta grinned.

      " Haha, I know.......Veggie IS ~*nice*~, isn't he? " a still extremely-touched-by-Vegeta's-gesture Goku sighed

musingly.

      Vegeta's face turned bright red. He twitched for a moment, then shook it off, " Now Bulma, exactly what and where is

this cure of yours? "

      Bulma sighed in a tired, defeated way, " I don't have one. "

      The ouji froze, " C--come again? "

      " There's no cure or reversal spell on this anywhere in the book, Vegeta. " Dende explained, " And we've looked twice

through every single one of them. "

      Vegeta's shoulders slumped forward, " You're kidding. "

      " He's not kidding, Vegeta-kun. " Bulma groaned, " You're stuck this way unless we can find that old woman within the

week. She's probably the only one who knows how to take it off. "

      Vegeta's knees were the next to give way as he slumped down onto them, shocked, " But, but this is the end. The

conclusion of the plotline. Everything's always 99% back to normal by the end of the plotline. WHY AM I NOT BACK TO NORMAL! "

he exclaimed, starting to panic.

      " Maybe this is that 1%. " Bulma suggested.

      " NO! That 1% is those two over there! " he pointed to the fusions, " There HAS to be a way! There's GOT to be a way!

WHAT'S THE USE OF ALL THIS IF I CAN'T GET THE BAKA CURSE LIFTED OFF OF ME!! "

      Bulma looked over at him, " Maybe-- "

      " --maybe? " Vegeta's head tilted up, " HAHA! You said "maybe"! That means you have an idea, doesn't it? A GENIUS of

an idea! "

      " Not really. " Bulma sweatdropped, " I was just thinking, maybe we could stop at the supermarket each day to check

for her. Or stay there for so many hours and take shifts. If she gave you a week Vegeta she's bound to come back during it or

at least once it's over. "

      " You mean WAIT! I can't WAIT! WAITING ACCOMPLISHES NOTHING!! " Vegeta exclaimed.

      " Well it's going to have to do for this time. " Bulma said as-a-matter-of-factly, " We'll start shifts in a few

hours. But first, " she turned to the two fusions, " We have to find a few rooms back at Capsule Corp for your

"heirs to the throne" here. "

      " Heee~~! " Gogeta grinned, " I want a room with a view! "

      " I want a sunroof! " Vejitto chimed in.

      Bulma sweatdropped, " What am I getting myself into.... "

      And so the remaining 6 days and nights came and went, the group swaping turns with who was stationed at the

supermarket on their vigil, but to on avail. It was the next week again and Vegeta almost hated the fact that he had sent to

do the foodshopping again. However Bulma had chosen a non-busy hour of the day to send him and Vegeta hadn't really been

doing much else at the time she asked him. So here he was, back in the same eisle of the supermarket, taking the same package

of iced-tea off the shelf. The ouji had again zoned out, this time in slight depression instead of wild joy. Luckily for him,

this time there had been no one else in the eisle to complain for him to move. Vegeta hopped off the ladder and put the

package in his cart. He stopped and grabbed another package. The fusions had apparently acquired quite a bit of his own

personal tastes in food, which in a household where the little ouji usually was on the low end of the types-of-food-we-should

-buy chain, was a pretty good deal. It had brightened up his spirits a little bit, seeing as now that he had two additional

fans of 'saiyajin food', he could finally buy all the foods that Bulma wouldn't let him because nobody else but him ate.

      Vegeta pushed his cart into the purchasing line. The cash register attendant looked at the food items in the ouji's

cart, surprised.

      " Hey it's you again. Goin for a little more exotic type of products this time, aren't ya. " the attendant said as he

scanned each item.

      Vegeta smirked wryly, " Let's just say I have a few more mouths to feed, and they both agree with my stomach more

than the others do. " he paid for his items and left the store. Vegeta started to pack his things away in the trunk of the

car and sighed.

      " Need a little help with that? "

      " Yeah, sure, knock yourself out. " Vegeta said emotionlessly. He did a double take and looked over to see the old

woman from before, " HA! " he pointed at her victoriously, " HAHA! HA HA HA! " he shouted, startling her. Vegeta grabbed her

by the wrist, " I've got you now! I knew you'd come back! Haha, hahahaha! " the ouji's voice cracked. The old woman cocked an

eyebrow.

      " You know Vegeta you are a nutcase. " she said. The ouji's grin faltered, " But you are not a completely hopeless

nutcase. Your brain I cannot help, that is beyond the powers of the universe. Ah, but your heart. " she easily pulled her

hand out of the surprised ouji's strong tight grip, " You have proved that you do care for others. You are a very responsible

and caring parent and a very odd, yet understanding person. You love your family and most of your friends except that

paranoid woman with the bun along with a few others. The point is-- "

      " --you're going to remove the curse?! " Vegeta said with a psycho-grin on his face that would've made Goku proud.

      The old woman slapped him, " --will you let me finish? " she shook her fist in his face. Vegeta sweatdropped, " The

point is you are deep down a very good person even though you are not very willing to admit it. So if you promise to give me

that large family-size bag of spicy salsa potato chips then I will in exchange remove the curse from your being. "

      " Here! " Vegeta eagerly shoved the bag of chips in her face, then handed her a 200 dollar bill, " And here, you know

what? Buy the entire snack-food eisle, my treat! Haha!...so-you-gonna-remove-the-curse-now? " he bounced up and down.

      " You know you didn't need to add in the $200 dollars. " she said.

      " Oh...can I have it back then? " Vegeta held out his hand. The old woman slapped him again, " Oww! "

      " Don't be stupid. It's mine now and I'm going to keep it. " she shoved it in her pocket, " Like I said, your brain

is beyond the powers of the cosmos to repair, but I shall lift the curse. " the old woman nodded, then held her arm up for

a moment only to put it down several seconds later, " Well, there you go. "

      Vegeta blinked, " That's it? "

      " Sure it is. Go look in the car mirror over there. " she said. Vegeta did so only to see his regular, normal

reflection had once again returned to him, " Not much of a 'bronzed saiyajin god', but you're still cute. " the old gypsy

woman patted him on the shoulder.

      " Is--is it lifted off the others too? I mean, you know, Kakarrotto and Bulma and-- "

      " --yes, them too. " she replied. The old woman put a few of Vegeta's lighter packages into his trunk for him, " Now

if you'll excuse me, Vegeta Oujisama, I'd like to go have my lunch now. " she popped open the back of chips, " The stars say

you have a wonderful future ahead of you. So don't screw it up. "

      Vegeta opened his mouth and turned to her only to see the old woman was now gone again. The ouji felt an eerie

feeling hang around him and shuddered. He decided to quickly pack up the remaining packages into the trunk and backseat of

his car. Vegeta jumped into the drivers seat and sped off.

      " I'm never, ever, EVER, going shopping at THAT supermarket again. " he still felt the cold chill around him. He

glanced up at himself in the mirror and almost-instantly calmed back down. Vegeta smiled, " I can't believe how happy I am to

be able to see myself in the mirror again! " the ouji beamed, " And no more seeing Kakarrotto as Kayka! HAHAHA!...although I

will miss seeing her in real life for a little while....but it's MORE than worth it! OH! And Kakarrotto! I won't have to deal

with him and his "extra-little Veggie" hallucinations anymore either! " he said victoriously, then glanced out at the ships

leaving the dock to his right, " You know, the next big cruise ship leaves in a few hours...maybe I should ask Kakarrotto if

he'd like to go on another little "vacation" with me after all. " Vegeta pulled out his cellphone and dialed Goku's house.

      " Hello? " Goku's voice came on the phone.

      " Greetings, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said, his confidence back to full-blast.

      " HI VEGGIE! " the large saiyajin grinned excitedly, " Whatcha doin? "

      " Nothing much. " Vegeta said with a smirk, " Say Kakarrotto, guess where we're going this evening....?

*****************************************************************************************************************************

2:30 AM 7/13/2003

THE END!!

Chuquita: WHEE!

Goku: (super-happy) TA-DA AND HOO-RAY! For it is the end!

Vegeta: (smirks) And a pretty good ending at that.

Chuquita: (grins at him) See Veggie! I told you I wouldn't let you down!

Goku: (laughs at Veggie) Haha! Yeah you of little faith!

Vegeta: It's "ye", Kakarrotto.

Goku: (tilts his head) "Yeeeeeee?" (smiles) Haha! That's fun to say! YEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeee~~~!

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) The line went right over your head, didn't it?

Goku: Yes Veggie, yes it did.

Chuquita: Oh that's oh-kay. All I know is this fic is finally finished and I'm very happy about it! I barely had any time

this week to write so I had to power-type today from 37KB to 63KB all today so I can get it done for my usual Monday upload.

(I usually type about 10KB a day)

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) You were 30KB behind!?

Goku: That's like--(counts fingers) THREE days!

Chuquita: (sheepish grin) I know. BUT I did get some stuff! Like a copy of the second "Legacy of Goku" gba game!

Vegeta: (cocks his eyebrow) How can anyone call that (points to dum-smiling Goku) a "Legacy"?!

Chuquita: The product-makers try to make Son-kun look all-action-hero so more people'll buy the products.

Goku: (happy) I like fish!

Vegeta: (feels bad) That must be some horrible job there.

Chuquita: Personally I'd be quicker to buy something with a stupidly-grinning Goku on it than action-Goku's picture.

Goku: Ooh! I can do an action pose! (waves his arm happily in the air, then goes into action-Goku expression and stares down

Veggie) (to Veggie) (serious mode) You feelin lucky?

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) ...what?

Goku: (breaks back into grin) HEEE~! (to Chu) I can't stay in action-mode too long when there are confused Veggies around,

Chu-sama! (puts his hands on Veggie's cheeks) They just make me wanna SMILE!

Vegeta: (face goes bright red) (looks at either hand on his cheeks) (squeaks out) ...oh God......please make it stop...

Chuquita: (tugs on Son's sleeve) Hey Son-kun, maybe you should let go sometime soon.

Goku: (blinks as Veggie's cheeks start to feel mushier than usual) (takes his hands away) Uh-oh, Veggie's face is meltin.

Vegeta: (twitching)

Chuquita: (pats Goku on the shoulder) Don't worry Son-kun, we all still care about you, and Veggie'll recover in a few

seconds or so.

Goku: (smiles) That's because I'm Veggie's FAVORITE peasant and he luvs me!

Vegeta: ...I can't feel my face.

Chuquita: (to Son) I've finally gotten to the part of the game where you get to play as Veggie, and if you go into Capsule

Corp and speak to Bunni (Bulma's mom) she'll give you an infinate amount of chocolate chip cookies. The BEST PART is when

Veggie gets the cookie, which is bigger than his head, and holds it up over his head with a big happy smile on his face and

a text block appears reading "You recieved a cookie!".

Goku: Awww, (grins at Veggie) so Veggie likes cookies, huh?

Vegeta: (sweatdrops)

Chuquita: (looks at her game) I currently have 22 cookies in my "items" tray. OH! And when you take a cookie out to eat it,

you actually hear Veggie chomping on the cookie!

Goku: (eyes widen)

Chuquita: AND, unlike the first game where to move faster you fly, in this one you jog. But when Veggie jogs into a wall he

grabs his nose and bounces back.

Goku: (eyes widen even more)

Vegeta: (backs up away from him, frightened)

Chuquita: AND Bulma gave Veggie a scouter so you can do all sorts of spying techniques with it like testing ki and seeing

secret maps and getting information on people.

Goku: (trying to restrain himself from launching at Veggie) (digging his fingers into this gi pants) EEEeeeeEEEeeee~~!

Vegeta: (to Chu) You know what, I'm just going to sit on the opposite side of the desk. (moves his chair there)

Chuquita: Umm, alright. (notices Son and scoots away from him a little herself) I did have one freaky moment so far in this

game. You see I, or the game Veggie, is supposed to head to the island where Goku is fighting 19 & 20...well, since I'm now

playing Veggie instead of Gohan or Piccolo, I've been doing the little side-quests and just basically wandering around. One

of the sidequests is to find the 7 runaway nameks so they can be sent to new namek-sei, and the other (which I'll get to

later) is to find 25 golden capsules Dr. Briefs lost (I have 7 or 8 now). But instead of that I decided to go visit Chi-Chi.

Vegeta: As me.

Chuquita: Yes.

Vegeta: (grins) Did you beat Onna up?

Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Of course not! The second game (unlike the first) disables your fighting powers when you're in the

city or visiting friends and such. I couldn't hit her if I wanted to.

Vegeta: (looks disheartened)

Chuquita: But I DID get to use the scouter to compare your power levels, etc.

Videogame Veggie's current power level: 18, health points: 284/284, ki: 74/74, strength: 22/100, power: 20/100, end: 26/100.

(no idea what "end" means)

Videogame Chi-Chi's current power level: unknown, health points: 29/29, ki: unknown, strength: 5/5, power: 1/1, end: 4/4.

Vegeta: (big grin on his face) WOW, I can kick Onna's butt around the block!! (to Chu) You have just made my day!

Chuquita: When you try to talk to her all she says is "I wish you people would just leave my husband alone!"

Goku: (blinks) But if Veggie had left me alone at that point in time, I would have DIED!

Vegeta: (smirks at Son) Don't worry, Kakarrotto. I won't leave you alone. I don't obey Onna's insane earth-laws.

Chuquita: (sweatdrops) We noticed. (looks at screen) Actually Chi-Chi IS stronger than the majority of humans in the land.

Bulma's only got 22hp, 2 strength, 1 power, and 2 end. (digi-Veggie cruises around a while) Haha! Under Maron's profile it

says "Scouter analysis cannot detct any brain waves. Perhaps the scouter is malfunctioning."

Vegeta: (snickers)

Goku: (thinks) You know neither me OR Veggie ever met her.

Chuquita: You were both in deep space.

Goku: (chirps) Oh yeah!

Chuquita: And in this game (unlike all the other dbz ones I played) you actually get to use the GENKI-DAMA!

Goku: As Veggie?!

Chuquita: No! As you. 'Course I haven't unlocked you yet. You and Mirai are the last ones I have to unlock. I think I might

just go on and fight the androids instead of the sidequests for now and save them for later. They're fun, but I really can't

find the other 5 nameks and I'm pretty sure the only way to get all the golden capsules is just by playing through the game.

Goku: (frowns at digi-Veggie) Digi-Veggie's cute, but he doesn't say much.

Chuquita: Yah, at least when I played as Gohan and Piccolo they at least interacted with the people they talked to. Veggie

just sorta obeys.

Vegeta: (snort) I do not "obey", I agree.

Chuquita: All-n-all it's a really funny game; only thing I dislike is how they once again managed to blot out/skip over

Veggie's pink "badman" t-shirt gag. (to Veggie) They don't show the outfit in this game and in Budokai when they did show it

they lightened your shirt and switched the BRIGHT YELLOW PANTS to a more "manly" dark blue.

Goku: Heeheehee, poor Veggie. (pouts) And people wonder why Veggie's so insecure! People changing stuff about him in games

cuz they're not comfortable with his bright yellow pants or the time he was nakee in that dream I had!

Vegeta: (groans) Please don't bring up that "Kakarrotto sees my bare rump" thing again.

Chuquita: You know they're re-airing the Freeza episodes again starting monday.

Vegeta: ...they did that last summer.

Chuquita: Yah, I was hoping they'd air the Cell ones, since it's been God-knows-how-long since they've aired them, but at

least the show is still on the block. I freaked out when I heard a rumor a while ago saying they were taking it off; but in

the end they kept it. I don't mind if they move it around, I just don't want it on SVES or somethin where CN airs it only

once a week.

Goku: And new episodes with Piccy-san's first appearance are gonna air soon!

Chuquita: I hope they get up to where Chi-Chi re-appears. I wanna see your wedding ep!

Vegeta: (annoyed and suddenly grumpy) I don't.

Goku: (happily) Aw come on Veggie! Why such a meanie all of a sudden! You'll get to see my pretty white suit!

Vegeta: (glares) She TRICKED you! You don't TRICK people into marriage! What kind of romance is that!!!

Goku: ...one with somebody who's good at cooking and somebody who loves to eat, Veggie. :)

Vegeta: (snorts) If I were a girl I wouldn't have tricked you.

Chuquita: Veggie if you were a girl the latter half of dbz would be drastically changed!

Goku: Yeah! Then it wouldn't have been Bulma & Veggie's future son who came to give me medicine. It would've been Bulma &

Yamcha's future son who came to give me medicine.

Vegeta: (sweatdrops)

Goku: (starts to sniffle) And then Veggie'd be all alone and single for the rest of her days, with no one to love and be

with. *sniffle* THAT'S SO SAD!!! (wails)

Vegeta: (twitches) If I were a girl I wouldn't be "Veggie" anyway! Vegeta's a male saiyajin name! I'd just be Geta.

Goku: (wails) POOR GETAAAAAAAA!!! IF SHE EXISTED I WOULD BE COMFORTING HER RIGHT NOW WITH A REALLY BIG HUG!!

Vegeta: (even larger sweatdrop than before)

Chuquita: (tries to change subject) And now without further delay I shall answer any questions the reviewers have left!

To Nekoni: I dunno if Son-kun would actually get hungry enough to use Veggie as a food-source as a cookie-substitute. ^_^;;

BUT the Jitto gag was used in this chapter :)

Vegeta: (narrows eyes at Goku) Yeah, you BETTER not try and use me as a snack-food item.

Goku: (grins) Veggie's so round-n-plump-n-fully-packed.

Vegeta: (eyes widen) What?!

Goku: (happy) I saw that in a looney-tune!

Vegeta: (calms down slightly) Oh....

To Nasiya: Glad you liked the fur gag! You can see Goku's pink-fur in the later half of gt :) (I'm interested in seeing how

the dub sounds) And as for Freeza's vision of Veggie; well that part was sorta left to the imagination. Let's just say it

was probably something very embarassing to Veggie.

Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) Like what?

Chuquita: I have no idea.

Vegeta: (falls over)

To Tomoyo chan: Of course I'll take a look at your fics! :) I've never read Harry Potter but I've seen Card Captor Sakura

back when it aired on WB & CN so I'll check out that one.

To Rissa of the Saiya-Jin: I agree, Veggie does have a very nice tan :D Hai, Freeza did scare poor Veggie; but Veggie was

saved so all is well :) Veggie tried to be brave even though he was scared.

To Callimogua: So glad people liked the fur gag! Goku's eyes also change color to a yellow tint but so far in this fic I kept

his eyes the same as they are in normal form. Compact oozarus also have this odd eye-shadow that matches their fur that

appears but I'm gonna keep those two parts of it out til I feel more comfortable about it. It makes it look too much like

they're wearing makeup (face-fault).

Vegeta: (nods defiently) And the GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI does NOT wear "makeup"!

Goku: Hahaha! Veggie'd look funny in eyeshadow-n-lipstick!

Vegeta: (glares at him)

To TheFireV: It took a while to get Part 3 up because ff.net was having some server troubles last week and it wouldn't even

let me onto the main page, let alone upload the chapter ^_^;;

To pixelgoddess: Welcome new reader! I'm glad you liked it. Actually the fics are loosely connected like a series;

stuff carries over from fic to fic, but you don't need to necessarily need to have read the previous one to understand

what's going on in the current fic :) I don't write lemons though, and I doubt any of my fics'd go beyond PG. Only way it'd

hit PG-13 is if somebody got killed off or something like that. And I don't plan on killing off any of the characters so that

won't happen :)

Vegeta: (thinking outloud) Kill off Onna, you say....

Chuquita: (sweatdrops) I didn't say Chi-Chi, Veggie.

Goku: (defensive) YEAH, little Veggie! We're not killin Chi-chan cuz I luv her!

Chuquita: Besides, she's one of the main characters.

Goku: (happily nods) And she cooks good fish!

Vegeta: (sweatdrops)

Chuquita: And now, before we go, the summary for the next fic.

Goku: (grins) It's a one-shot, one-chapter, short-story!

Chuquita: (smiles) AND my fourth Piccy-fic!

Summary: Piccolo re-re-re-re-attempts to take over the world! Bulma tricks Piccolo into cleaning out her lab for her, but

when Piccolo finds a stopwatch that can literally stop time around him, he decides to use it to his advantage and take over

the planet while everyone else his frozen around him. But what happens when he accidentally breaks the watch while using it?

Will Piccolo, Dende, and Mr. Popo be able to find a way to fix it, or will the entire universe; with their exception of the

trio, be frozen in place forever!

Chuquita: Summary needs a lil tweaking, but you get the basic idea (smiles) Oh! And don't worry, both Veggie & Goku will make

their appearances in this one as they did in my previous three Piccolo one-shots.

Goku: (chirps) Strange but true fact #141! This story is based off a plotline from an old "Twilight Zone" episode; AND

in the summary's original conception, it was little Veggie who had finds the watch!

Chuquita: Hai! But I had way more ideas to put into the fic with it this way. And if it's on time expect it out next monday!

It's end Corner will also have a list of future fics! Not sure if I'll have summaries to go with 'um yet though.

Vegeta: (thinking) Ah, the things I could do with a watch that stops time....(daydreams).....................................

Goku: (pouts) Aww, aren't you gonna let us see what little Veggie is daydreaming, Chu-sama.

Chuquita: (sweatdrops at Veggie) I'd rather not. (to audiance) (happily) Well, see you later everyone! Hope you enjoyed the

fic!

Goku: (waves excitedly) Don't forget to eat your Veggie-tables!

Vegeta: (still daydreaming) Heh-heh...yeah......
