Quote of the Week: -from DuB 137

Chi-Chi: We're going to have such a wonderful future together Goku! Big family, lots of kids!

Goku: Kids?

Chi-Chi: Not too many. 8 or 9. Wait'll you see the house father's been building for us. He wanted it to be a surprise.

Goku: This is all happening so fast.

Chi-Chi: I know! I wish it could last forever!

Chuey's Corner:

Vegeta: (smirking) Ah, but nothing ever DOES last forever, does it?

Chuquita: (happily) Welcome to part 2 everybody!

Vegeta: So Kakarrotto? Whatever happened to Onna's other 7 children?

Goku: (blinks) Wait, there were more?

Chuquita: Even the second time Son-kun met her she was going on about having a lot more chibis than you two ended up with.

Goku: (grins at Veggie) I think if Veggie hadn't been around and all that Raditsu and Freeza stuff hadn't happened then we

probably would've gotten that far! (smiles) I do like chibis :)

Chuquita: Don't we all. (to Son) Actually if you ignore the fact that Chi-Chi was mad at you for not remembering her, she was

a pretty cool character in this episode. (looks at video) Ironically the gi-ish outfit she's wearing is Veggie-blue color.

Goku: Haha! You're right! (tugs at Veggie's tank top) It is the exact same shade!

Vegeta: (sweatdrops)

Chuquita: Overall it was a really enjoyable episode. Even if you're a G/CC fan or not it's great for the fight and for the

way Chi-Chi greets the others after the battle. Son-kun was afraid to live with her unless he knew what her name was, after

that he was completely fine with it. Chi says she loves him and then Son asks "love, what's that?". Then Chi-Chi says she'll

show him and gives him a kiss on the cheek. Goku looks so unbelievabley confused it's great (grins)

Vegeta: (snickers) Yes, this was before Onna started going insane.

Chuquita: (sweatdrops at Veggie) Well she has a good reason.

Vegeta: I'm not a good reason, (smirks) I'm a GREAT AND POWERFUL reason.

(Chu & Son sweatdrop)

Chuquita: That you are. (to audiance) I also found out that nameks grow unusually fast. Piccolo's only 4 years older than

Gohan!

Goku: (blinks) You mean Piccy-san was only 8 years old when Raditsu first landed on earth?

Chuquita: Yup.

Goku: WOW! And he was taller than me by then too! (grins) Not like Veggie who back then was even littler than he is now!

Vegeta: (grumbles)

Goku: You were small enough to fit in chibi Gohan's lil red wagon! Or in the baby swings!

Vegeta: (twitches) Must you mock the vertically-challanged of your species.

Goku: (frowns) But I think Veggie's little-ness is cool! You can fit inside or through ANYTHING!

Chuquita: Unlike Piccolo's very-tall height.

Goku: You gotta admit though, he's got some really neat tricks!

Goku: Hai! Just like magic!

Vegeta: (glances over and pulls a double-take to see two extra Gokus standing next to the one in the seat) AHHH! (points at

each one) AHH AHH AHH!!

All 3 Gokus: (chirps) HI VEGGIE!

Vegeta: (looks like he's about to faint, have a heart-attack, and throw up all at the same time) WHA-WHA-WHAT THE?! HOW?!

AND WHY?! AND--

Goku2: --this is one of Piccolo's special techniques! You can split yourself off into three to five extra people!

Goku3: I'm only able to get up to three so far. It's a lot harder than it looks!

Goku1: AND you sometimes get a headache afterwards. (nods)

Vegeta: (looking petrified at the trio of Gokus) Uh, Chu?

Chuquita: Eh?

Vegeta: (gulps) THREE Kakarrottos.

Chuquita: So?

Vegeta: THREE Kakarrottos; ONE "Veggie".

Chuquita: (pales) OHHHHhhh... that's more dangerous than it looks, isn't it?

Vegeta: (nods fiercely)

Goku1: (frowns) Poor lil-lil Veggie u look so scared all of a sudden. (grabs Veggie and gives him a hug) There, does that

make Veggie feel any better? (smiles warmly)

Vegeta: (bright red in the face) Uhhh.... (notices the other two Gokus death-glaring at the first) (nervously) Uh,

Ka--Kakarrotto?

Goku1: (sweetly) Yes, lil Vedge'ums?

(Goku2 grabs Veggie's left arm while Goku3 grabs Veggie's right arm. Goku1 still has a hold on Veggie's waist)

Vegeta: (squeaks out) Help?

(all 3 Gokus growl predatorily at each other; each tightening his hold on his specific Veggie body part)

Chuquita: Umm, can't you all just get along and SHARE Veggie? (nervous laugh)

All 3 Gokus at once: (glaring at each other) MY VEGGIE!

Vegeta: (wails) OH DEAR GOD I'M GOING TO DIE!!!

Chuquita: Uhh....(nervously looks around the room, then glances at the chair she's seated on) (gets up and picks up the chair

; slams it at Goku2's head)

Goku2: (yelps) HEY! Who did that! (eyes meet Goku3's) YOU! (pounces him and attacks)

Goku1: (notices Goku2's flung Veggie across the room) YOU HURT VEGGIE!! (attacks them both until a cartoon-fight smoke cloud

engulfs them)

(Chu and Veggie watch in confused horror)

(smoke clears to reveal one Goku)

Goku: (pats himself on the body) (happily) I'm me again!

Vegeta: (lets out sigh of semi-relief) YEESH that was tramatic!!

Chuquita: (nervous laugh) Hahaha, uh..here's Part 2! Enjoy!

Summary: To clone or not to clone, that is the question. When Veggie and Goku discover Bulma has cloned the ouji in her lab,

the duo decide to investigate. After Goku accidentally wakes the cloned Veggie up, the taller ouji becomes intended on taking

Vegeta's place in life for himself. Will the little ouji be able to stop him from stealing his identity AND his peasant in

time?

Chuquita: (curious) (to Goku) So, what happened to the other 2 Gokus anyway?

Goku: (blinks) I think I just absorbed them back into my body...or somethin.. (confused)

Vegeta: (groans) Kakarrotto, promise you'll never do that trick again. (rubs his strained arms) It's hazardous to my health.

Chuquita: (sweatdrops) What do you do on a regular basis that ISN'T?

Vegeta: ... (thinks) ...OH NEVERMIND!!

      " You're even more beautiful than you were in the picture... " V.2 said as he stared upward, mesmerized. Goku blinked

at him for a moment, confused.

      " HELLO!! " Goku squealed loudly, then zipped back inside. V.2 stood there staring at the front door, baffled and

heartbroken.

      " *DING-DONG*DING-DONG*DING-DONG*!!! "

      " GOKU! ANSWER THE DOOR!! "

      Goku re-opened the door again only to find the medium-sized saiyajin standing there shaking and teary-eyed. The

bundle of flowers dropped on the doorstep.

      " Why did you close the door on me, Kakarrotto? " tears ran down V.2's cheeks. He rubbed them way, then narrowed his

eyes, " You seemed a lot sweeter and emotionally sensitive towards me back when I was trapped in the tube. " the saiyajin

said flatly, folding his arms and snorting in a Veggie-ish way.

      Goku grinned, " Wanna come inside? "

      " Yes! " V.2 said without hesitation, rushing into the house. Goku blinked, then shrugged merrily and pulled the

door shut. He placed V.2's ridiculously large bouquet of flowers in a vase on the table infront of the couch where the clone

had plopped himself down on. V.2's face turned bright red when he noticed the larger saiyajin sit on the other end of the

couch. Goku looked around the room obliviously as if nothing had happened.

      V.2 took a deep breath, " So? Nice uh, day out, huh? "

      " Mmm-hmm! It's always nice-n-warm around here in the summer! " Goku replied cheerfully.

      " I've, never been outside before. I like it. " the clone said shyly.

      " :) "

      " Umm, I like your cottage too. Very cozy. E--especially this couch. It feels like it's been pre-heated or something.

" V.2 fumbled for something to say.

      " Oh! Chi-chan was napping there before the doorbell rang. I think it was too loud for her so she went up to her

room to sleep. " Goku said, then checked for Chi-Chi's ki, " Yup! That's where she is! "

      " ... "

      " ... "

      " ...Ohhh. " V.2 groaned, ::I suck at conversation!! I should've practiced ahead of time before I got to Kakarrotto's

! I can't think of a thing to say to him!:: he cried to himself in his head.

      " You oh-kay? " Goku looked over at him, slightly worried.

      " Me? Oh! I'm fine. Really. Hahaha. " V.2 laughed nervously.

      " Oh. That's good. Cuz you looked a lil scared. " Goku pointed out.

      " I could never be afraid with you around to protect me, Kakarrotto. " the medium-sized saiyajin patted Goku on the

shoulder, then gasped, " Oh my God! You have a texture to you! And it's so soft! " V.2 said in amazement, grinning, " Haha,

that's incredible! I've never felt anything like it! Oh Kakarrotto you're so PERFECT! " he glomped the larger saiyajin.

      " Aww, that's very sweet of you! " Goku said, touched, " ...who are you? "

      " ! " V.2's eyes shot open and he stared at Goku in shock and horror.

      " You--you really don't recognize me?! "

      Goku shook his head a sorry no.

      " You--you came down to the lab to talk with me every evening. You told me about all sorts of amazing things! You

were so worried about me being stranded all alone. But, but you don't have to worry about that now, because I broke out and

now I'm here, and, and we can live in your little house you've told me so much about! "

      Goku still looked confused.

      V.2's face fell, " I was stuck in a blue tube. In Bulma's lab. "

      Goku cocked his head.

      " I'M "VEGGIE'S" CLONE!! " he exclaimed, annoyed.

      " OHHHH!! " Goku said, enlightened, " Of course! Veggiesclone! Haha! I didn't recognize you with all the clothes on!"

      V.2's face turned beet red, " Uh, right. "

      " ...shiny pants by the way. " Goku said, poking V.2's thigh, " I can even see my reflection in 'um! That's so cool!"

      " Bulma picked them out. " V.2 sweatdropped.

      " Ah! They look like something she'd buy. " Goku said, " So shiiiiiiiiiiny. "

      V.2 sweatdropped, " I was wondering, Kakarrotto, if I could borrow a pair of your pants instead. These are a little

too, well-- " he stammered.

      " --shiny! " Goku made a funny face at his reflection in V.2's pants.

      " Yeah. Shiny. " the clone felt uneasy.

      " Sure I can get you another pair of pants, not-so-lil Veggie-clone! " Goku said cheerfully, " HEY CHI-CHAAAAN! " he

called upstairs.

      " Yes, Goku? " Chi-Chi stretched, coming down the stairs.

      " CAN YOU GET ME ANOTHER PAIR OF PANTS! "

      " Hm? Yeah, sure. " Chi-Chi grabbed an extra pair of orange gi pants out of the laundry room on her way, then entered

the living room and pulled a double-take at the object seated on her couch.

      " Chi-chan, I would like you to meet, VEGGIE'S CLONE! " Goku did a little bow and motioned to V.2, who waved.

      " Hi! Kakarrotto's told me all about you! " he shook Chi-Chi's hand, " He says you're a really nice person but you

get a lil worried sometimes! You seem nice to me! "

      " Uh, heh, hi. " Chi-Chi finally choked out. V.2 took the pants from her.

      " Ooh, these look MUCH more comfortable than what I'm wearing now! "

      " ..are those pants, shiny? " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow.

      " Bulma picked 'um out. " V.2 replied.

      " Oh. Interesting. "

      " You can see your reflection in 'um, Chi-chan! " Goku chirped, waving to himself in the black pants.

      " Goku, can I speak with you in the other room. " Chi-Chi said, trying to remain cheerful and calm. She grabbed Goku

by the arm and dragged him out of the room, " Excuse us. " she smiled at V.2, who nodded politely.

      " She's such a nice person. " V.2 said to himself, " I think I'm gonna like living here! "

      " Goku, ARE YOU NUTS!! " Chi-Chi exclaimed in a panic behind the closed doors to the kitchen.

      " Is that a question or a statement? " Goku tilted his head, confused.

      Chi-Chi groaned, slapping herself on the forehead. She glanced over at the large saiyajin, " So that person out there

is the Ouji's clone? "

      " That he is, Chi-chan! Isn't he nice! He was even nice to YOU! " Goku said in awe.

      " Yeah, that was kinda creepy. " Chi-Chi commented.

      " That's what Veggie said. " Goku sweatdropped.

      " Well, in this case he was semi-right. " Chi-Chi agreed.

      " "Semi-right"? " Goku cocked an eyebrow.

      " I won't allow the Ouji complete satisfaction in knowing that I agreed with him. " Chi-Chi said stubbornly, " Now

WHAT THE HECK WHERE YOU THINKING! LETTING THE OUJI'S CLONE IN OUR HOUSE! "

      " It seemed like a good idea at the time! " Goku said happily, " And he brought me flowers! "

      " He brought you FLOWERS?! " Chi-Chi gawked in surprise.

      " That's cuz he's a Veggie too! " Goku chirped happily, " Veggies are spontaniously sweet like that! "

      " But he barely knows you! "

      " Of course ne knows me, Chi-chan! " Goku laughed, " I talked to him every day for two weeks since I met him in that

big blue-liquid filled tube in Bulma's lab. "

      Chi-Chi paled, " You mean, you made FRIENDS with him?! "

      " Yup! " Goku grinned.

      Chi-Chi groaned, " Oh dear God... "

      " He also called me "Kakarrotto", just like the REAL little Veggie! " Goku added.

      " Ohhhhhhh, this is bad. This is real bad. " Chi-Chi nervously sat down at the kitchen table, " Bulma CLONES the Ouji

and then you make FRIENDS with it! Do you have any idea how dangerous that is! "

      " No. " Goku frowned, " He just, he just looked so lonely trapped in there. " he sniffled, " The tube, I mean. "

      " Tube? " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow.

      " Yeah! Sorta like this! " Goku thought hard and a thought-bubble appeared over his head of a super-deformed kawaii

version of himself sitting down infront of a giant fishbowl with a similarly styled Vegeta swimming around inside in oblivous

circles.

      " Goku, you said "tube". "

      " Hai? " Goku looked at her, confused.

      Chi-Chi sighed, " That's a giant fishbowl. " she pointed to the thoughtbubble, " You didn't find him in a giant

fishbowl, Goku. AND STOP IT WITH THE CUTSY THOUGHT-BUBBLE OUJIS! " she snapped.

      " Oh-kay! " Goku snapped his fingers and the thought-bubble popped, causing the tiny thought-bubble Vegeta to fall

down and plop cluelessly ontop of Goku's head.

      " Aww, lookit how CUTE he is, Chi-chan! " Goku said, his face bright pink. Chi-Chi twitched in annoyance.

      " You know I really wish you'd use these increasingly strong psychic powers for something else, you know. " Chi-Chi

folded her arms, then sweatdropped to see dozens of similar-looking thought-bubble Vegetas now plopped randomly all over

the floor, nearly covering it. Goku was holding several in his arms. The thought-bubble oujis only blinked cluelessly.

      " Aww, but they are SOOOOOO kawaii, Chi-chan! And SOFT and SQUISHY and WARM! " he cuddled the ones in his arms. All

four oujis turned bright red and started letting out purring noises, " Ohhhhhh! I wuv u too! "

      Chi-Chi's bottom left eyelid flinched, " OOH! YOU ZAP THEM ALL AWAY RIGHT THIS SECOND, SON GOKU!!! " she screamed.

      Goku whimpered, then snapped his fingers and all the Vegeta-like creatures disappeared in a poof.

      Chi-Chi sighed with relief, " HONESTLY. You and your "Veggies"....you must think that evil little Ouji can do no

wrong! "

      " Oh! Veggie does bad stuff, Chi-chan. Just like everybody else. " Goku explained, making her feel somewhat better,

" I mean, little Veggies are cute but they are not perfect. Far from it. Why, if I had to count up all the times Veggie's

made a mistake and I got a dollar for each one, I'd have, well, a lot of one dollar bills, that's what I'd have. " he nodded

satisfactorily.

      Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " Yeah, well I guess Bulma thought she could do otherwise. And NOW we have an extra Ouji on

our hands! Who's taller than ME! And that's just not right! " she complained, " At least the real Ouji was shorter than me,

and less muscular, and with a better haircut. "

      " AH! Chi-chan a-grees with me! " Goku squealed.

      " Eh? " she looked up at him curiously.

      " I thought clone-Veggie's hair didn't look right on him cut all short like that too! It looks too much like Gohan's

haircut...or Yamcha's.... "

      " Bulma probably thought it was more NORMAL or something. " Chi-Chi thought outloud, then smiled at Goku, " But I

think your haircut is perfectly fine the way it is! " she messed with his bangs. A huge grin appeared on Goku's face.

      " My luv for my Chi-chan has just moved up 10 whole notches on my luv meter! " Goku chirped.

      " Well I haven't seen the Ouji around here in almost 3 weeks! " she bragged.

      " Haha, Chi-chan's mood is always sunnier when little Veggie is not a-round. " Goku said, opening the door to go

back into the living room, " I wonder why. "

      Chi-Chi sweatdropped at his comment, " Oh I'll TELL you WHY, Goku. It's because he's---- "

      " --cleaning the couch? " Goku finished; the couple both in utter shock.

      V.2 looked up from where he was dusting, " Hello Kakarrotto, Chi-Chi. I was trying to think of a way to make up for

imposing on you for wanting to live here with you and since I don't have any money I decided to clean some of your house for

you! " he said cheerfully.

      " He can CLEAN? " Chi-Chi grinned.

      " It looks like it. " Goku blinked, " Gee, the REAL little Veggie would NEVER clean up my house for me. He'd just

take me back to his. "

      " He can CLEAN! " Chi-Chi turned to Goku ecstatically, " Oh Goku he can CLEAN!! " she grabbed him by the gi shirt,

" Do you know what this means? "

      " Umm, the couch will never be dirty. " Goku grinned stupidly.

      " NO! " Chi-Chi snapped, then went back to beaming, " It means we can keep him here and he can clean and do all my

chores while I get some time to actually do things with YOU! He can be like, our butler, or something! "

      " Butler? " Goku frowned.

      " Oh won't it be exciting! Being able to go and do anything I please and then come home and not have to do ANY work

whatsoever! Haha! " she hugged Goku tightly, " I'm starting to actually be happy for you making friends with the Ouji clone!

He's DEFINATELY an improvement over the first one! "

      " Chi-chan, I can't let him do that. "

      " Wha--what? " she faultered.

      " A butler's just like a servant-maid. And I didn't wanna be Veggie's servant-maid and I really don't think Veggie's

clone would like being mine. " Goku nodded.

      " Fine! Be that way. " Chi-Chi folded her arms, " He still reeks of Ouji-stench anyway! Just get him out of our

house! "

      " You're kinda pretty when you're mad. " V.2 pointed to her. Chi-Chi fell over.

      " Well, that was awkward. " she got back up, " JUST GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!! "

      " Wha--why? " V.2's eyes watered.

      " Hey medium-sized Veggie's clone! Why don't we go out for a walk in the park! " Goku said cheerfully, teleporting

infront of him, " Chi-chan's afraid you might hurt yourself in here so she's just gonna, umm, move stuff around first. " he

winked at Chi-Chi, who nodded gratefully at him, " Come on Veggie's clone! " he grabbed the other saiyajin's hand.

      " You know, you can actually call me V.2 if you want. That's my project name. " the clone blushed lightly.

      " V.2 it is then! " Goku chirped, then teleported them both out of sight.

      " Go-ku!! " Chi-Chi groaned as she flopped back on the couch at the fact that he too had left, " That's not, exactly

what I meant. "

      " Urg! " Vegeta grumbled as he continued in Goku's direction, then gasped when the saiyajin's ki disappeared along

with his clone's. Vegeta screeched to a halt to find the ki now somewhere behind him, " Kuso! I could've been there and back

already if it weren't for this disgusting, sticky pink rope! "

      " We can help, Kaasan! " a voice said happily from behind him. Vegeta looked over his shoulder to see Gogeta and

Vejitto standing there.

      Vejitto grabbed part of the rope, then face-faulted when he pulled his hand away, his glove now covered in the sticky

substance, " Eew. What IS this stuff! "

      " It looks like taffy. " Gogeta inspected the rope, then grabbed a chunk off himself and sniffed it only to turn a

pale, sickened green, " It's definately not taffy.

      " You're not really helping. " Vegeta sweatdropped.

      " Sorry Kaasan. " Vejitto apologized.

      " Yeah, sorry Toussan. " Gogeta nodded to him.

      " BUT, now that you ARE here. There IS something you can do. " Vegeta smirked. Both fusions stared at him, baffled,

" I want you two to teleport me to where Kakarrotto and my clone are. "

      " You clo--you mean that guy in the tube in Bulma's lab?! " Gogeta blinked.

      " Yes, well, apparently he broke free, stole some of my clothes, tied me up in this gunk, and took off to steal

Kakarrotto. AND I'M NOT LETTING HIM STEAL KAKARROTTO!!! " the ouji shouted angrily at the sky.

      " Oh-kay Toussan! " Gogeta said cheerfully. putting a hand on Vegeta's head and teleporting to the park along with

Vejitto, " Here we are! "

      " The PARK?! " Vegeta said, shocked, " Why would they be in the PARK?! "

      " WOW! I've never been on a "walk" before, Kakarrotto! " V.2 said happily. Vegeta, Vejitto, and Gogeta peeked out at

the two passing saiyajins through the bushes.

      " How DARE he call Kakarrotto, Kakarrotto! I'm the only one allowed to do that! It's one of my trademarks! " Vegeta

seethed angrily.

      The fusions sweatdropped.

      " Do you want us to tackle him, Toussan? " Gogeta grinned excitedly.

      " No! We need to plan. " Vegeta narrowed his eyes, " You are allowed to severely injure him, but we're not going to

kill him. He's Bulma's project and if we killed him she would kill us! Understand? " he glanced over at them.

      Both fusions grinned in a Son-style, then nodded.

      Vegeta twitched, " Right... " he stared closely at his clone and Goku. Vegeta's eyes widened, " Is he wearing

Kakarrotto's PANTS! He's wearing KAKARROTTO'S PANTS! " the ouji roared, " Kakay never let ME wear his pants. " Vegeta paused

to sniffle slightly, " ALRIGHT! VEJITTO! GOGETA! On the count of three I want you both to tackle my clone and stop him! GOT

IT! "

      " Hai Toussan! "

      " Hai Kaassan! " they both said at once, saluting him. Vegeta sweatdropped.

      " It's so amazing out here, Kakarrotto! My senses are practically TINGLING! " V.2 said with excitement.

      " Heehee, "tingling". " Goku giggled, " You are silly as well, lil Veggie's clone! "

      V.2 blushed lightly, " Aw, thanks Kakarrotto. That means a LOT!.....ya know, I think I really like you, Kakarrotto. "

      " And I like you too! " Goku said cheerfully, " I like lotsa people! "

      " I mean, I really REALLY like you. " the clone said shyly, " Infact, I could even say that I, love you, Kakarrotto."

      A little figure from behind the bushes fell to the ground and sent a huge earthquake-level impact into the soil.

      Goku stared at him, shocked.

      " In a platonic way of course! " V.2 laughed nervously, sweating buckets.

      " OH!!! " Goku said, as if enlightened, " I have heard THAT word before! Little Veggie said it!....hey V.2? "

      " Yeah? "

      " What's "platonic" mean? "

      The clone fell over, twitching, " WAHHH! " he instantly got to his feet, " It means I love you, but in a nonsexual

way. It's like, I love you like you're family or a good friend...that kinda love. "

      " But we're not REALLY family....are we? " Goku tilted his head, confused.

      " No, it's just that I feel like you're a part of my family or one of my really good friends. " V.2 said.

      " I guess I fall into the "really good friends" category, huh! " Goku grinned. V.2 nodded happily.

      " Yup! "

      " YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! " two war-cries exclaimed as Gogeta and Vejitto instantly appeared from

either side of V.2 and grabbed each of his arms.

      " Hi there! " Gogeta said happily, " I'm Gogeta! "

      " And I am Vejitto! " Vejitto pointed to himself, " Now if you don't mind we'd like to hold your arms in place for

around five minutes so that our Kaasan can give you and Toussan a good talking-to. "

      " Uh...oh-kay. " V.2 blinked, " ...you mind if I scratch my back? It's starting to itch like crazy. "

      " Hm? Sure! " Gogeta let go and the clone eagerly scratched the spot on his back.

       " AHhhhhHHHHhh! "

      " Feel better? "

      " Much! "

      " Some lackeys you are. " Vegeta said flatly, waddling out onto the sidewalk and stood infront of Goku, still tied up

in the sticky pink goo, " KAKARROTTO. " he said in a serious voice, then suddenly felt uneasy about the many other park-goers

, " Oh I can't do this here! Fusions, teleport us all to the parking lot! " the ouji groaned. Gogeta and Vejitto did so; only

to suddenly let out elated squeals along with Goku.

      " ICECREAMTRUCK!! " all three shouted.

      Vegeta fell over, " LATER! Ice cream is for later! "

      " Ohhhh... " both Gogeta and Vejitto pouted.

      " Now. Kakarrotto...WHY IS HE WEARING YOUR PANTS!!! " Vegeta snapped.

      " Uh, because, uh.....OH YEAH! " Goku grinned, remembering, " Veggie's clone is wearing a spare pair of my pants

because the shiny black ones you can see your reflection in that he WAS wearing before this were way too tight and WAY too

shiny for him so I let him borrow some of mine. "

      " Why don't you ever lend ME any of your clothing articles? " Vegeta said suspicously.

      " Bee-cause little Veggies are afraid of kaka-germs, remember. " Goku pointed out, " Besides, with how little

Veggie's legs are, he would NEVER be able to fit into my pants! Why you'd practically DROWN inside them, lil Veggie 'o mine!"

the larger saiyajin explained.

      " Oh...I suppose that makes sense...now why were you in the park with my clone! " he demanded.

      Goku sighed, " Veh-GEE! Chi-chan made me kick him out of the house and she was really gonna hurt him unless I

teleported to the first place I could think of....hey what's that around your little body, Veggie-chan? " his expression

turned to one of worry.

      " Oh, it's nothing. " Vegeta started off nonchalantly, " Just some sticky pink goo my clone tied me up in before he

stole my clothes and flew off to steal you as well. "

      Goku gasped, " WHAT?! " he turned to V.2, " Is this TRUE, Veggie's clone? "

      " I... " V.2 froze. Vegeta was smirking smugly at him. V.2 glared back, then turned back to Goku, " Well he deserved

it! "

      " He did NOT! " Goku said defensively, grabbing the little ouji, " Come 'ere lil Veggie, I'll help you get that rope

that Veggiesclone so MEANLY trapped you in, off. " he gave Vegeta a hug.

      " I'm not mean! I'm not!! " V.2 started to panic.

      " Umm, Kakarrotto, I don't think "hugging" would be the best thing to do in this situation. " Vegeta coughed

embarassingly.

      " Silly Veggie! Veggiehugs are perfect for ANY situation! They help my favorite little buddy to calm down! " Goku

smiled warmly at the ouji. Vegeta's face turned bright red, " Now let's see Goku went to pull the ouji off only to find the

sticky rope stuck tight between them. Vegeta sweatdropped.

      " Hahaha~! Well, this is kinda awkward. " Goku laughed, putting his hand behind his head and pulling pieces of the

rope along with him. The large saiyajin paused for a moment, then snapped his fingers, " AH! Fear not little Veggie for I

have a solution! " Goku clapped his hands together once and instantly a cloud floated overhead and dumped bucket-loads of

water overtop the two saiyajins, melting the goo off them. Vegeta, not being held up by Goku anymore, slid down and fell to

the floor with a whump, " Thank you Kinto'un! " Goku waved happily. The now-yellow cloud saluted him and zipped off, " THERE!

" Goku bent down to where Vegeta was sitting, " Does my sweet little Veggie feel better now? "

      " Oh, much better, Kakay-chan. " Vegeta snickered, giving him a slight hug. His clone let out a low growl.

      " Awww! I luv u too, Veggie! " the larger saiyajin said, touched by the hug.

      Vegeta let out a yelp, " I, I didn't say--- " he looked up at Goku, then quickly shook the redness off his face,

" Umm, excuse me for a second, oh-kay Kaka-chan. "

      " Oh-kay little Veggie! " Goku grinned.

      Vegeta backed away from Goku, then started stretching his arms out, " Ahh! Huh, water, who knew? " he muttered to

himself, then shot a death-glare at his clone, who mirrored the expression. The little ouji took a fighting stance, then

flew at V.2. The clone jolted both his arms and spun them violently, sending the loosely-holding fusions halfway across the

parking lot. Both easily landed, then ran back in the others direction to aid Vegeta.

      Meanwhile both Vegeta and V.2 were landing equally powerful blows on each other with their fists while Goku watched,

slightly confused.

      " YOU BACKSTABBING BAKAYARO! HOW DARE YOU TRY AND STEAL MY PEASANT FROM ME!! " Vegeta screamed as the fight moved

more towards the air.

      " IF HE'S YOURS THEN YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN PROTECTING HIM INSTEAD OF LETTING HIM WANDER AROUND THE LAB ALL ALONE! " V.2

snickered, " BESIDES! I DESERVE HIM WAY MORE THAN YOU DO! "

      " WHAT!!! " the ouji roared.

      " I'M NOT JUST YOUR CLONE! I WAS IMPROVED UPON! I'M BIGGER, TALLER, AND WAY MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN YOU ARE!

KAKARROTTO DESERVES THE BEST, DON'T YOU AGREE? BEING YOUR SOLE PEASANT AND ALL...AND, THAT BEING THE CASE, THAT MAKES ME

THE MOST LIKELY CANDIATE TO HAVE HIM! "

      " NOPO LEKIMO SADA PA! " Vegeta screamed in saiyago, landing a direct blow to the clone's head and sending him flying

into the ground and making a huge hole in the parking lot in the process. Vegeta panted dangerously. V.2 painfully climbed

out of the whole, then glared back upward and shot up back into the sky after Vegeta.

      " WOW look at 'um go! " Goku grinned as he and the fusions watched the fight from on the the ground; all staring

upwards, " I haven't seen my lil-lil Vedge'ums this angry in a long long while! Veggiesclone must've gotten him pretty

steamed! " he turned back to the fusions, who's cheeks were flushed with embarassment, " Hey Goggie and Ji-chan? What's

little Veggie shouting in Veggielauguage now? "

      " I didn't know our native language HAD this many obscenities. " Vejitto mumbled, shocked.

      " I think he's even making some of them up. " Gogeta added, " Or inventing some new ones anyway. "

      Goku gasped, " You mean little Veggie is yelling bad, dirty words! "

      " Toussan is very lucky he cannot understand saiyago. " Vejitto nodded, fiddling with the idea of finding something

to plug his ears with.

      " NOW what's going on here?! "

      " Oh! Veggie and Veggiesclone are fighting each other for my honor. " Goku said happily, then recognized the voice

and turned around to see Chi-Chi in their car behind him, getting out, " WOW Chi-chan, that was fast! "

      " I DROVE fast. " she replied, " And with utmost agility as well. " Chi-Chi boasted.

      Gogeta looked past her and sweatdropped, " Is that a 10 car pileup? " he pointed off in that direction.

      " Oh! That's all behind us now, Ouji/Goku-spawn. " she said happily.

      " You're SURE those people are oh-kay? " Vejitto asked skeptically.

      " YES I'M SURE THEY'RE OH-KAY! " Chi-Chi snapped, then turned to Goku, " So I assume the Ouji and his clone don't

get along very well. "

      " Veggiesclone tied Veggie up in this sticky pink goop and then he tried to woo me away from him...at least, that's

what Veggie said. " Goku explained.

      " They're fighting over you!? " Chi-Chi gawked.

      " Umm....yeah. "

      " THEY CAN'T FIGHT OVER YOU! I ALREADY WON YOU!!! " she exclaimed, " OOOH! Goku stay down here with the demi-oujis,

I'm going to have a little chat with Ouji and his shiny-jacket-wearing clone. " Chi-Chi powered up and hovered upwards

towards them.

      " Hey, she's gettin a lil bit better at flying, isn't she? " Vejitto said, impressed.

      Goku grinned, " I give Chi-chan flying lessons every morning after breakfast! Since we're both such early risers ya

know. "

      " Ah. " Vejitto responded.

      " OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU-JIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!! " a voice screamed from behind Vegeta and

V.2. Both saiyajins instantly paused in their fight and glanced over to see Chi-Chi hovering nearby, ticked.

      " Onna! Long time no see. " Vegeta smirked, " It's been so long I thought you were dead. "

      " Shuddup, Ouji. " Chi-Chi grumbled, annoyed, " If it wasn't for your creepy li--medium-sized clone here I wouldn't

have had to drive up here and run into you anyway! Goku teleported him off here! I HAD to come stop him from making any

un-needed advances on my Go-chan. "

      " Ahh! Something we agree on equally. " Vegeta cracked his knuckles, " It's a shame I'm already competing with you

in a certain aspect or else I'd offer to let you help me beat the living crap out of this low-budget replica. " he snickered

mockingly.

      " Maybe if I'm lucky you'll both even out and knock each other off. " Chi-Chi snickered back.

      The two glared at each other.

      " I seriously doubt THAT, Onna. You see, unlike my clone; who has spent all but the recent few hours of his life

trapped in that blue tube; I have been out training and gaining even more fighting experiance, thereby giving me the

advantage. " Vegeta aboasted.

      " Oh I can top that. " V.2 smirked at him, floating downward. Vegeta and Chi-Chi turned to watch him. The clone

landed on the ground and walked over to Goku, then fell to his knees and hung his head downward, " Oh MASTER! How may I serve

you! "

      Vegeta and Chi-Chi's jaws dropped near-clearly out of their mouths. Goku just stood there staring at V.2 in confusion

.

      " "MASTER?!" HOLY---"MASTER?" " Chi-Chi gasped in shock, turning between the clone and Vegeta.

      " Don't look at me! I'm not one to lower myself to Kaka-enservantment! I REFUSE TO WEAR SOME BAKA KAKA-GI AND BE

ORDERED AROUND TO DO SIMPLE, CUTSY TASKS FOR KAKARROTTO'S AMUSEMENT! " Vegeta snapped.

      " Yeah but, what about him? " Chi-Chi muttered.

      V.2 smirked up at both Vegeta and Chi-Chi, then got up and latched onto Goku. Chi-Chi sweatdropped at Vegeta who's

tail's hairs instantly stood on end with rage. The little ouji started to let out a feral growl.

      " My Kakarrotto-sama! " V.2 leaned closer towards the large saiyajin, who was beginning to look confused and uneasy.

The clone lowered his voice to a whisper, " Order me. "

      " ! " Goku's eyes widened.

      " Go on, Kakarrotto-sama. Make a wish. You can wish for anything, have anything you want. What I want is to make all

your wishes come true. " he hugged on tightly, " What is it you wish for, princess? "

      " I--I--I--I--I-- " Goku said nervously, " VEGGIEGETDOWNHERE!!! " he shrieked upwards in fright.

      Vegeta teleported beside them, still hovering over the ground a few inches, staring at Goku curiously. The ouji

tilted his head slightly.

      " MY REAL VEGGIE!! " the larger saiyajin squealed w/big sparkily eyes. He burst into ssj3 and quickly pushed V.2

off of him, then powered down to ssj2, " OH MY SWEET LITTLE VEGGIE-CHAAAAN! LETMEHUGYOU!!! " Goku wailed in need of

consolement. Vegeta's face turned bright red and the small ouji backed up a few steps only to be tackled head-on and smushed

into the ground back-first, " OH VEGGIE! OHVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIE! I MISSED YOU SO!! "

      " HEY! " Chi-Chi shouted, flying down at them and landing on the grass, " WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, GOKU! "

      " Hugging the REAL Veggie, Chi-chan! " Goku said, the nervous sweat still dripping all over him.

      " I feel better now...hahahaHA..... " Vegeta slurred out in a dreamy stupor, his face beaming the bright red color,

" Kakay luvs me... "

      " Yes I do! " Goku said contently, " ...Veggie? "

      " Yah..... "

      " Veggie for some reason I feel like I don't want to move. " Goku said in surprise, hugging tighter.

      " Aww, that'sss oh-kay..take y..your tiime... " Vegeta let out a little drunken hiccup.

      Chi-Chi twitched in annoyance, then knocked Goku off the ouji with one swift kick.

      " Kakay? " Vegeta's eyes widened as his body temperture instantly cooled back down due to the sudden loss of the big

warm lump that had been smushed ontop of him. The ouji sat up, " Why ONNA! You KICKED Kakay! That's spousal abuse you know."

he smirked, " Something that can be punished by law. Why, they could send you off to solitary confinement for this! "

      " Hmmph! He's FINE, Ouji! Infact he's a lot better now than he was a few seconds ago! " Chi-Chi snorted.

      " Chi-chan why did you kick me? " a sad, heartbroken little voice came from on the ground. Chi-Chi looked down to see

Goku staring at her with big teary eyes, " Did I do something wrong, Chi-chan? You wouldn't kick me unless I did something

wrong, right? "

      " I would never kick you, Kakay. " Vegeta said proudly, patting Goku on the head.

      " Aww, lil Veggiepats! " Goku smiled slightly at the hand on his head.

      " STOP TOUCHING HIM! " Chi-Chi yelled at Vegeta, who grinned evilly at her and started to weave his fingers through

the larger saiyajin's hair instead.

      " Hahaha! Veggie that tickles! " Goku laughed enjoyably.

      " Hear that Onna, Kakay thinks I'm very enjoyable. " Vegeta snickered.

      " Veggie rub my tummy! " Goku chirped, pulling up his gi shirt. Vegeta fell over.

      " WHAT?! "

      " Veggie is such a good lil massage-er so he gets to rub my belly! " the large saiyajin grinned.

      " BAKA!! " Vegeta untangled his hand from Goku's hair, " THERE IS NO WAY I'M GOING TO RUB THAT UNIMAGINABLY HUGE

ORGAN FOR YOU! NO WAY! "

      " It can dance for Veggie. " Goku said innocently, then shook a bit causing his partially-full stomach to jiggle in a

pattern, " See? "

      " Hai....that's, uh, interesting, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said nervously, his face bright red again.

      " Go on, Veggie. It feels really nice to the touch! " Goku pushed him on eagerly.

      Vegeta uneasily moved one of his hands forward and started to rub the mushy spot on Goku's body.

      " MMMMMmmm.... "

      " ...mmMMMM! Chocolate! " Vejitto chirped as he and Gogeta walked back from the ice-cream truck to where Vegeta was

rubbing Goku's stomach while Chi-Chi twitched in frustration along with her bazooka overtop her left shoulder and looking as

if she were trying to find the best spot on the ouji to aim for.

      Gogeta grabbed the bazooka and chucked it back into the Son's car, " It's not very nice to shoot at people like that,

Onna. Especially when they're busy givin someone a rubdown! "

      " Kaasan! Toussan! Look what we got! " Vejitto bent in their direction so both saiyajins could see him, " ICE CREAM!"

      " Ice cream! " Goku's eyes lit up, " YEAH! ICE CREAM! Let's get little Veggie and me some yummy ice-cream! " he lept

to his feet and sped over to the ice-cream truck with Vegeta in tow, " HELLO! I would like some chocolate rocky road ice

cream on a really big cone! " he looked down, " And what does little Veggie want to order for his silly lil Veggietummy! "

Goku said cheerfully.

      " S--st-st-st-stra---" Vegeta stammered nervously, trying to pull his hand out of the larger saiyajin's

      " And a big strawberry ice-cream please! " Goku finished for him, " There we go Veggie! " he took both ice creams

and handed Vegeta's to him, " Eat up lil buddy! You'll feel all nice-n-better in no time! "

      " Um, thank you. " Vegeta mumbled, his hands now free as he took the ice cream and started to lick it. The little

ouji notice V.2's ki starting to get up about 10 feet away. Vegeta froze, " Ka--Kakarrotto let's head back to the car. "

      " What? Why now Veggie? It is such a bee-u-ti-ful day. " Goku pouted.

      ::JUST GO!:: he mentally shouted. Goku looked shocked, then did so, ::VEJITTO! GOGETA! GET IN THE CAR!::

      ::Huh?:: Vejitto answered back.

      ::My clone! He's starting to regain conciousness! We're going to use Kakarrotto and Onna's car to drive back to

Capsule Corp! Once we lure him back there we can get Bulma to figure out how to re-trap him in one of those tubes! Got it?::

      ::Got it, Mommy!:: Vejitto nodded determindly, then finished off his ice-cream and hopped in the backseat of the car

along with Gogeta.

      " HEY! Get out of my car you demi-oujis! " Chi-Chi complained.

      " Emergancy, Chi-Chi. We'll explain later. " Vejitto said, strapping himself in. Chi-Chi only watched in confusion.

      Vegeta teleported Goku to the passanger's seat and hopped in the middle seat between the fusions, " Alright Onna,

GUN IT! "

      " WHAT?!! " Chi-Chi nearly fell over, " I AM CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO TAKE ANY ORDERS FROM YOU YOU EVIL LITTLE OUJI!"

      " Chi-chan! This is important! We need you to get us back to Capsule Corp and you're the only one with enough

experiance and a heavy car-foot and--PLEASE Chi-chan just do it! " Goku begged her.

      " Of course, Go-chan. I'll do it for YOU. "

      " YAY! " Goku cheered, " Chi-chan luvs me SO! "

      Vegeta grumbled something in the backseat. The others sweatdropped.

      " What's that little Veggie? " Goku asked, curious.

      " Nothing! JUST STEP ON IT! "

      " So let me get this straight, Bulma cloned you so the media will pay less attention to you once your evil Ouji

tricks start to become more elaborate and I get closer to hitting middle-age. " Chi-Chi said as he drove the car down a road

in West City, " But the clone escaped before she could put in the finishing touches and completely store him away for five

years until she was going to activate him. Goku somehow got mixed up in this and started talking to the clone everday and it

somehow got the idea that Go-chan was it's soulmate or something, and that's why it's trying to take your place in the

natural order of things. So it can have Go-chan. "

      Vegeta nodded, " Correct. "

      " ... "

      " ... "

      " You know THAT'S INSANE! " Chi-Chi exclaimed. Vegeta sweatdropped.

      " Hey, I'm not the one who decided I would be a good test subject for a cloning experiment! Why couldn't Bulma have

cloned herself! Or Trunks! Or Mirai! Or Bura! Even Kakarrotto wouldn't be that bad of a subject, but ME?! "

      " I like having one little Veggie just fine. " Goku peeked around the corner of the chair and smiled back at the

little ouji, " Besides! The real Veggie is MUCH CUTER than the cloned one! "

      " Nice to know I always have THAT going for me. " Vegeta said dryly.

      " Heehee! " Goku giggled, then turned to Chi-Chi, " Chi-chan are we there yet? "

      " Almost. " she said, turning a corner, " I STILL don't see why of all people, Bulma would want to clone the OUJI!

I mean, isn't having ONE of him dangerous enough to our health! "

      " Aww, now Onna, that's not very nice. " Vegeta snickered, creeping up between the two frontseats. Chi-Chi twitched

and reached over and bopped Vegeta over the head with a mallet. The little ouji twitched in pain and slunk back to the

backseat.

      " Well! Here we are. " Chi-Chi said cheerfully, putting her mallet away and getting out only to have Vegeta hop in

the drivers seat and shut the door on her.

      " Wha--HEY!! "

      " Heh. " Vegeta grinned.

      " OUJI!! " Chi-Chi grabbed the door and pulled on it, " YOU EVIL LITTLE MONSTER! GOKU UNLOCK THE DOORS!! " she

shouted through the glass.

      " Heeheehee, Chi-chan looks funny when she yells. " Goku laughed, " Hey Veggie? Can you hear Chi-chan? Cuz I can't

hear anything outside the car? "

      " No, nothing really. " Vegeta layed back in the driver's seat. He turned to the others, " Hey Kakarrotto? How would

you and the fusions like to take a trip to the beach with me? "

      " YEAH! SUMMER FUN WITH VEGGIE! " Goku cheered.

      " So, what do you two think? " Vegeta looked over his shoulder and gawked to see both Vejitto and Gogeta were now in

swimgear, complete with swimtrunks, flip-flops, and snorkal gear; both grinning excitedly. Vegeta sweatdropped, " How did you

do that so fa-- " he glanced back at Goku to see the larger saiyajin was now also wearing swimtrunks and snorkal gear. Goku

also had the addition of a t-shirt with the words "Beach Bum" on it. Vegeta twitched and fell over, " HOW DO YOU DO THAT!! "

      " Do what, little Veggie? " Goku said cluelessly.

      Vegeta stared at him in disgust, " Bakas. "

      " OUJI OPEN THIS STUPID DOOR!!! "

      " You want the door to open then you'll just have to break in here yourself, Onna. " Vegeta smirked defiantly.

      " OOH!! " Chi-Chi stomped off inside.

      " Uh-oh. I think you made Chi-chan mad, Veggie. " Goku said, worried.

      " Heh-heh-heh, yeah. " Vegeta snickered. Goku sweatdropped, then paused as the ouji unlocked the doors and hopped

out, " Well, let's go find Bulma and tell her what happened so we can put a stop to this mess. "

      " But, but Toussan? " Gogeta faultered, " What about the 'summer fun'? "

      " That was just a ruse to trick Onna! You think I'm going to just leave while I have some messed-up clone running

around stalking my peasants! HA! " he laughed, then struck a pose and pointed onward heroically, " TO THE LAB! " Vegeta

shouted, then ran inside.

      Goku, Gogeta, and Vejitto all shrugged, then leisurely followed him inside while a pair of eyes kept dead-locked on

them from behind the car.

      " That's not FAIR. " V.2 growled from behind the car, " He can't just take Kakarrotto away like that. I was being

nice to Kakarrotto. Kakarrotto was being nice to me. I deserve him, not that short little liar I was cloned from!! " he

clenched his fist, then folded his arms, " I might have been persuaded to share him earlier today, but not NOW! Not this

time! Not after what that vertically-challanged saiyajin did to me! " he said stubbornly, then smirked and placed his hand

on his chin, " Kakarrotto deserves better than him and I'm better and faster and taller than him so I should get Kakarrotto

! I was built to be the best "veggie" there is! Bulma herself said she had tweeked out all the kinks and flaws my genetic

code! " V.2 nodded, then narrowed his eyes at the window, " You better look out you little half-pint. Because as of today the

only thing you're gonna be hugging is the concrete! "

      " Hey Veggie, why is your clone standing out in the middle of the lawn laughing at the sky? " Goku asked curiously,

pointing at the obviously-visible Vegeta clone.

      Vegeta sweatdropped, " Even I'M smart enough to make sure that my maniacal laughter stays within the boundries of

the household. " he said, then squinted, " But if I didn't know any better I'd say he trying to kill me. "

      V.2 revved up the power-chainsaw from the garage.

      " Aww Veggie, that's silly! Why would anyone wanna kill you! Especially somebody who's been cloned FROM you! " Goku

laughed happily.

      Vegeta glared at him and folded his arms, " He wants to kill ME because YOU befriended him like the sappy peasant

you are and now he wants to take my place as your "little buddy", you moron. "

      " Haha! Sorta like how Veggie's tryin to take me from Chi-chan! Only without the killing. " Goku chirped.

      Vegeta face-faulted, " HOW DARE YOU COMPARE ME TO ONNA!! THAT'S NOW WHAT THIS IS LIKE AT ALL! I want you as my

faithful servant-maid! Onna wants you! Period! " he snapped, " And as for my clone I have no idea as to his intentions! " the

ouji clenched both his fists while Goku just smiled at him, " I don't know what gene Bulma took out of him but it was

DEFINATELY NOT my kaka-seeking gene! "

      " Maybe it was Veggie's natural sneakiness gene. " Goku piped up. Vegeta paused and turned to face him, " Unlike

Veggie, who modestly glows bright red when he wants to tell me he luvs me, Veggiesclone just blurted it out. He also didn't

plan ahead like Veggie, we all know how you can escape a simple tied-up situation. Not to mention he's attacking with a

chainsaw. Veggie would taunt first and try to get to me psychologically. " Goku explained in a surprisingly intellegent

manner.

      Vegeta grinned, " KAKARROTTO YOU'RE BRILLIANT! And don't smile at me like that, it's creepy. "

      " Oh-kay! " Goku said cheerfully, then watched Vegeta pull down the blinds and sit down on the couch, rubbing his

hands together as if some evil plot was forming inside his little head.

      " Hmm... "

      " Hey! That's Veggie's evil plot "hmm"! What's the plan, Veggie! " Goku said excitedly, plopping down next to him.

      Vegeta glanced up at him, smirking, " The plan, Kakarrotto, is to have you pretend you'll go with my clone to have

lunch. "

      " Pretend lunch, or a real lunch. " Goku raised his hand as if he were in school. Vegeta twitched.

      " OF COURSE IT'S A REAL LUNCH YOU BIG BAKAYARO! " Vegeta snapped, " Lull him into a false sense of security. While

his back is turned I will sneak up from behind him and drug his drink with a sleeping pill from Bulma's lab, knocking him

unconsious for hours! We shall then teleport the clone back to the lab, take my clothes back from him, and lock him back up

inside one of those tubes. " the ouji said, " Or perhaps instead of drugging him I should conk him over the head. " he

thought outloud, " There are so many ideas I don't know where to start! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! "

      " Veh-GEE! " Goku sweatdropped.

      " Kakarrotto, I'm going to give you one of Bulma's credit cards to by for the lunch. I'd give you one of mine, but I

know how you eat. " the ouji pulled a card out of his pocket.

      " What are you doing with BULMA'S credit card? " Goku pointed to it curiously.

      Vegeta face-faulted, " DOES IT MATTER! Now HERE! " he reached to hand the card over, " No, wait, better yet. " Vegeta

pulled it away and shoved the card in Goku's pants pocket.

      " Heeheehee, pockets. " the larger saiyajin giggled.

      " There. Now I want you to go out there and persuade my clone into going to lunch at a resturant. I shall use your ki

to follow you there. " he explained, " You think you can handle that? "

      " Oh! I can do THAT, little Veggie, I am good at seducing! Chi-chan says so! " Goku grinned stupidly.

      Vegeta let out a chuckle, then burst into laughter, " HAHAHAHA! YOU, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hoo! " Vegeta let out a

sigh to ease his now-aching-with-laughter sides, " AH, that's funny! "

      A frown appeared on Goku's face, which quickly turned into a pout along with teary-eyes, " Veggie thinks I'm stupid?"

      " Hm? " Vegeta blinked, " NO! No of course not, Kakarrotto! You're not stupid at all! You're very...selectively

intellegent. "

      " HOORAY! I am selectively intellegent!....whatever that means. " Goku paused blinking.

      " Hahaha... " Vegeta chuckled, tapping the large saiyajin on the shoulder, " Go ahead, Kaka-chan. *snicker*, "seduce"

me. " the ouji said, amused.

      " Well, I really shouldn't, but.. " Goku started out uneasily, twiddling this fingers. Vegeta smirked victoriously,

then turned to leave the room only to have Goku trip the little ouji and catch him before he hit the floor, holding the

smaller saiyajin inches above the ground. Vegeta's eyes widened to the size of two huge saucers, " Veggie's eyes are VERY

pretty. " the larger saiyajin said softly, leaned in extra close, only to let out a yelp as Vegeta's entire body burst into

a bright red color so powerful it engulfed the entire room in a bright red light. Goku grabbed in eyes and yelped in pain as

he accidentally dropped Vegeta the remaining few inches, " AHHHHHH!! VEGGIE THAT'S TOO BRIGHT! MAKE IT STOP!!! " Goku wailed,

his hands clasped tight over his own eyes while Vegeta just lay there on the ground, twitching every once in a while as a

sign of life. Goku waddled over to the nearest wall and felt for it, then leaned forward.

      " What the heck--!? " Bulma peered into the room, gawking at the near-radioactive-looking bright light stemming from

its little source laying in the middle of the living room on the floor.

      " Long story Bulma, Veggie'll tell you later. I have to go lure his clone away from Capsule Corp before he tries to

kill my poor lil glowing Veggie! " Goku said as he made his way towards the door, his eyes just starting to adjust to the

red light.

      " But, Go---all this light is coming from VEGETA?! " she said in shock.

      " Yeah, pretty much. " Goku squeaked out the front door, " When Veggie comes to, tell him I went to perform my part

of the plan oh-kay! And, and I'm sorry for scaring his little Veggie-self. "

      Bulma watched her friend leave, utterly stumped, " Uh, right. " she looked over at Vegeta and cocked an eyebrow,

" What did he do to you THIS time? "

      " He--hello out there? Veggiesclone? " Goku said cautiously as he closed the front door behind him and walked down

the steps. The bright red light from Vegeta's body still lighting up the entire room. People on the street were stopping to

stare at the light in curiousity.

      " AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! " a war cry came from over to his left

and V.2 jumped out of a bush wielding the chainsaw from the garage and running at Goku.

      " AHH! Veggiesclone stop! " he waved his hands in the air rapidly.

      V.2 froze, " Oh! It's you, Kakarrotto. " he smiled.

      " Uh, heh-heh, yeah. " Goku laughed nervously as he looked the chainsaw up and down, ::That thing could slice little

Veggie into PIECES!:: he mentally shuddered, " You--you think you could put the chainsaw away? "

      " Hai! Anything for YOU, Kakarrotto-sama. " V.2 bowed lightly to him, then shut off the chainsaw and put it back in

the garage.

      " Umm? Hey, uh, V.2? "

      " Yes? "

      " How would you, ah, like to go somewhere with me. " Goku offered, still a little shaken from the chainsaw. V.2

turned to him w/big sparkily eyes, " WOULD I! I would follow you to the ends of the earth, Kakarrotto-sama! " he fell to his

knees in respect. Goku sweatdropped, " Oh my sweet peasant! " V.2 clasped one of the large saiyajin's hands, " The sole one

who nursed my health and courage back in those dark hours trapped in the lab! I would be delighted for your company. " he

glomped onto Goku, " You're truely a wonder to behold, you know that? "

      Goku mentally groaned, uncomfortable, " Umm, I was thinking about maybe we could go get lunch somewhere. " he said,

changing the subject, " I was thinking maybe a resturant. "

      V.2 stared up at him, still sparkily eyed, " WOW! I've never been to a resturant before! " he grinned, letting go of

Goku and bouncing around the yard, " This is so exciting! I CAN'T WAIT! " V.2 cheered, then bounced back over to where Goku

was standing and smirked, " I bet you planned this all out too, didn't you? "

      " Uh, you could say that. " Goku looked confused.

      " You're very clever, Kakarrotto. " V.2 said slyly as the two walked down to the sidewalk. A now only slightly-bright

-red figure poked his head out of the living room window.

      Vegeta smirked, " And so am I. "

      " Wow, this is a really fancy place, Kakarrotto! I had no idea you were so sophisticated! " V.2 said in awe as he

looked around the big fancy resturant from the table they were seated at.

      " Uh, yeah. " Goku laughed nervously, " I'm just fulla surprises, V.2! " the larger saiyajin started to glance about

the resturant as well, only, unlike V.2's gawking at it's fanciness, Goku was trying to avoid V.2's lovesick gazes towards

him which were making Goku feel increasingly uncomfortable.

      " May I take your order. "

      " AHH! " Goku shrieked suddenly at the tap on his shoulder. He let out another nervous laugh, then turned to the

short waiter beside him and instantly recognized him and squealed with joy, " OH MY GOODNESS IT'S LITTLE---- " Goku froze and

glanced over at a confused V.2, " --uhh, waiter. Yeah. It's a little waiter. Hahaha. " he laughed again.

      Vegeta, who was now dressed in one of the uniforms the other waiters of the resturant donned, rubbed his fake

Bejito-like beard and adjusted his bowtie. He leaned in and whispered to Goku, " Kakarrotto I swear if you try to do to me

again in the future what you just did to me back at the house I will literally beat you to a pulp. "

      ::Oh no you won't, silly Veggie! Even if you WERE strong enough to do that you wouldn't because you ~*wuv*~ me!::

Goku telepathically said in a sweet tone of voice. Vegeta twitched.

      ::I never said anything like that now stop getting all mushy on me, Kakarrotto!::

      ::I luv u too, **Veggie**!::

      Vegeta tried his hardest to keep his face from going beet red again, " NOW. May I take your order, Mr. Koi. " he

said politely with a tiny bit of aggitation in his voice.

      The larger saiyajin blushed in awe, " Aww! Of course you can take my order, little Veh--err, "Mr. Waiter",

*giggle*. " he giggled.

      Vegeta sweatdropped to see V.2 sending him death-glares from the other end of the table, " Kakarrotto stop talking

like that you're making him mad! " Vegeta whispered.

      " But you look so cute in your fake beard-n-tux, Veggie! " Goku whispered back enjoyably.

      " You're not supposed to make him MAD, Kakarrotto! You're supposed to gain his trust and THEN we knock him unconsious

and drag him back to Capsule Corp and get him back inside that big tube he came from! " Vegeta glared at Goku, then

added, " And yes I am very fond of my fake beard and mustache my father had a real one. " he nodded thoughtfully, then

whipped out a small notepad and pen and sighed, " Now what would you like to order, "sir"? "

      " Macaroni and cheese, please! " Goku chirped sweetly.

      Vegeta fell over, " WHAT?! " he lept to his feet, " KAKARROTTO ARE YOU INSANE!! ARE YOU REALLY AND TRUELY THAT

STUPID! "

      Goku tilted his head, blinking confused.

      " Kakarrotto, what are you THINKING! You can't impress my clone by and in turn gain his trust, by ordering

mac-n-cheese at such a fancy resturant! " Vegeta whined.

      " I can't? " Goku cocked an eyebrow.

      " NO! " Vegeta said, disappointed in him. He perked up, " Listen, you have to order something really fancy!

Something that sounds and looks impressive! Something that says "I'm more than just a dum, smelly peasant!"

      " Oh-kay! " Goku gave him a cheerful thumbs-up, then cleared his throat, " Pasta con queso, seƱor! "

      Vegeta twitched, " "Fancy" doesn't mean state the name in spanish, Kakarrotto. "

      " Oh. " Goku said, slightly surprised. Vegeta groaned and waddled over to V.2, " And what will you be having? "

      V.2 smirked while staring over at Goku, who was at the moment munching on some of the free breadsticks, " Actually

I could use a nice big plate of kakamuffins. "

      Vegeta flinched in anger, then slapped V.2 across the face, the power from his swing nearly knocking the clone off

his chair, " YOU DARE INSULT KAKARROTTO AGAIN AND YOU SHALL DIE! " the ouji roared in V.2's face, then narrowed his eyes

dangerously, " Now you're going to order something and it's gonna be FOOD! "

      V.2 sat there, dumbfounded.

      Vegeta regained his cool, " Now what is it you would like to order? "

      " Uh... " V.2 said in shock.

      Goku sweatdropped, " So much for being nice to him. "

      " Here's your macaroni and cheese, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said lamely as he sat the huge plate of cheese-covered

noodles infront of the large saiyajin. 15 minutes had gone by while Vegeta waited to bring the order out. V.2 had become

more protective of Goku and moved his chair so that he was seated next to the large saiyajin instead of across from him.

      " YAY! " Goku cheered, clapping his hands together. He grabbed a fork and spoon, " It looks so yummy, Veggie! " he

said sweetly, then pulled something out of his pocket, " Would Veh--err, my waiter be nice enough to help me get my bib

on? "

      Vegeta sweatdropped at the little pink "Hug the Baby" bib Goku was holding out to him, " Kakarrotto! You're a

full-grown saiyajin! You don't wear a BIB to eat! "

      Five seconds passed...

      " I can't BELIEVE you wear a bib to eat macaroni and cheese! " Vegeta exclaimed in shock while Goku waited for the

noodles to cool off, sniffing them on his plate every few seconds.

      " By the way, thank you for getting my bib on me, little Veggie. It was so very sweet of you! " Goku said warmly.

      Vegeta's face heated up again to it's bright red color.

      The larger saiyajin plopped his cheeks against his hands to use them to lean on, " Veggie wanna spoonfeed me a little

bit? " he said shyly.

      The fur on Vegeta's tail instantly puffed out on end and turned bright red to match his face, " Uhhhh...uhh...uhhhhh

.... "

      " HEY! What about MY order! " V.2 snapped.

      " Mmm! " Goku said happily as he ate another spoonful of macaroni and cheese.

      " Here you go, Kakay. " a very dazed and bright red Vegeta replied, spooning Goku another bite of lunch.

      V.2 shot to attention at the word, ::"Kakay"....:: he took a good look at the waiter, who's recent bout with the

glowingness had melted the glue around his fake facial hair and causing it to become 3/4th of the way slipping off. It was

dangling by nothing more than one of Vegeta's cheeks.

      " AHA! " V.2 got up and pointed at Vegeta, " Kakarrotto that's not a waiter! That's that evil idiot I was cloned

from! "

      Goku stared at him in confusion, " "Evil"? " he glanced over at Vegeta, who had stopped glowing but was now tilting

his head in an even more confused manner than Goku, " AWWWWWWWW! " Goku clasped his hands together, " KAWAII

VEGGIE-CHAAAAAAAAAAAN! " he turned back to V.2, " Silly Veggiesclone! Veggie isn't "evil"! " Goku put an arm behind his

head to scratch the back of it, " An idiot sometimes, maybe, but not "evil"! "

      " HEY! " Vegeta snapped, insulted.

      V.2 got out of his seat and pushed the chair in stubbornly, " Come on Kakarrotto, let's go home. "

      Goku teleported infront of him, " WHAT? But what about Veggie! We can't just leave him here! "

      " Of course we can! Besides, he tricked us! I bet that mac-n-cheese he gave you was poisoned too! " V.2 said

as-a-matter-of-factly while Vegeta glowered at him with his arms crossed.

      Goku gasped and latched onto Vegeta defensively, " *GASP*! How DARE you!! Veggie would NEVER poison me! He loves me

very much and tries everything in his Veggie-power to protect me! " Goku hugged Vegeta tighter while V.2 sweatdropped.

      The clone paused for a second, then lifted an eyebrow, " His "Veggie-power"? "

      Goku smiled, " Sure! All little Veggies have it!! " he said, setting Vegeta back down. The ouji smirked and proudly

walked over to his clone, " Yes, it's such a shame you don't have my natural "Veggie-powers"; for Kakay has clearly stuck

with his first, and best, choice. "

      " He has NOT! " V.2 stomped one foot on the floor in anger, " And there is no such thing as "Veggie-power"!!! "

      " Heh. " Vegeta snickered, then let his tail-fur poof out. He turned to Goku, now with big sparkily eyes and his head

tilted to the side in an empty-headed way, " Hiiiiiiii, Kakay! " the little ouji said in his best babish voice.

      " AHH-HAHAHAHAHA!! " Goku squealed, glomping onto Vegeta again, " OH VEGGIE THAT WAS SO CUTE!! " the larger

saiyajin said w/two huge pink hearts for eyes as he dropped Vegeta to the floor. A now winded-looking Vegeta smirked up at

his clone in a victorious way, " Get it? "

      " Got it. " V.2 choked out in shock.

      " Good. "

      " Oh VEGGIE! " Goku teleported infront of Vegeta and staring at him w/a mushy-filled expression on his face, " Oh

Veggie that was really really super ~*CUTE*~!!! "

      Vegeta sweatdropped, " Forget about that and go take my clone back to Capsule Corp. " Vegeta said, tossing off the

remains of his fake facial hair along with the bow tie. Goku faultered and his eyes began to water.

      " But, I wanna stay here with you, Veggie. "

      " I'm coming too, I just have to sneak my way back into the building my tailing you two and we'll knock my clone

unconsious from there. " Vegeta said comfortingly, " Is that oh-kay with you, Kakay? "

      Goku dried up his tears and blew his nose into his gi, " I, think so. "

      " Good, now go. "

      " ... "

      " ... "

      " Byebye. "

      " Goodbye, Kakarrotto. "

      " ... "

      " ... "

      " I'll, really miss you Veggie. You-n-your sweet lil Veggieness-n-all.. "

      " Uh-huh. "

      " ... "

      " ... "

      Both saiyajins stood there for a moment, neither one really in the mood to move anywhere.

      " Bye Veggie! " Goku waved to him.

      " Just go, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta groaned, feeling a migraine coming on.

      " ... "

      " ... "

      " But, Veggie--- "

      " --I SAID GO!!! "

      " Yes Veggie! " Goku quickly saluted him, then zipped off after V.2.

      Vegeta stared for a moment in annoyance, which quickly faded to worry. He clasped his hands together, " Goodluck,

Kakarrotto. "

END OF PART TWO!

Chuquita: *WHEW*! That was so close! I know what some of you are thinking, "isn't she supposed to be at the beach by now?"

as I said I was going on a trip to Wildwood in the last chapter's End Corner, HOWEVER, I most likely won't have a laptop to

work on and since I have no idea what the hotel's computers are like I decided I'd try and chuck part two out by Friday,

the day before I leave for my trip, which'll last til next Wednesday morning. So just pretend this update is the update I

would've made on Monday had I still been at home. BTW, seeing as how this fic's going along, everything should be wrapped

up by part 3. Oddly enough I haven't had a fic that was just 3 chapters since literally one year ago yesterday.

Goku: Wow! One year is a lot of time Chu-sama.

Chuquita: (nods) That it is.

Goku: ... (breaks into sing-song voice) We're goin to the beach! We're goin to the beach! (dances around the desk)

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Baka.

Chuquita: (happily) I also got my Shounen Jump yesterday (there's an actual little Veggie on the bottom right-hand corner

of the cover) and it's supplied me with quite a few funny quotes for future Quotes of the Week. Veggie says more funny

stuff!

Vegeta: (flatly) I amuse you to no end, don't I?

Chuquita: (grins) That you do, Veggie!

Goku: (still singing and doing cheers) Gonna swim with the dolphins! Gonna swim with the sharks! Gonna ride the waves with

my lit-tle Veh-gee!

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) I'm NOT 'riding' any 'waves'. (snorts) I plan to construct a life-sized sand fortress from which I

shall guard against all trespassers!

Goku: Aww, I bet it's gonna be a cute lil sand-cottage, huh Veggie?

Vegeta: It's not GOING to be a "sand-cottage", BAKA! IT'S GOING TO BE A SAND-FORTRESS! THEY'RE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

TYPES OF BUILDINGS!

Goku: (grins) Whatever you say, little Veggie!

Vegeta: Exactly! Whatever I say! (nods confidently)

Chuquita: (smiles) And I say it's time to answer the reviewer questions! :D

To Nekoni: Veggie's clone meeting the fusions? Ooh, I haven't thought of that. Actually in the comic strip version of this

It was mainly just focused around Goku, Veggie, and Veggie's clone. I made Chi-Chi's part a bit larger along w/the other

characters (easier to squeeze 3 characters into a comic-strip panel than 6 or 7) While they did only try and hold V.2 still

in this chapter, they'll definately re-appear more in part 3. LOL! Veggie's clone in the dress. Bura wasn't in the comic

strip one either. In part 3 she's gonna try and sucker poor Son-kun into trying it on for her. Heh, I wish I could go to

Italy. Oh well. I plan on havin lots of fun at the beach anyways :D It's alright about the mail thing. I hope you do get to

use the computer again soon :)

To Rissa of the Saiya-Jin: (grins) Hai! It is good gum. I like that company's "Juicy Fruit" gum too! Can't blow may bubbles,

but it tastes good :D I'm glad I got part 2 up. Maybe you'll be able to see it if you leave on your trip the day after I do.

Poor GT Veggie. How he does get from his current personality to his GT one is shown in the end of the fic. I'm planning on

doing a three-part parody on a few gt eps, including the one you mentioned w/the kidnappers stealing Goku. I can't really

mention anymore about what happens in part 3 w/o making it into a spolier. But don't worry, GT Veggie'll turn out oh-kay for

the most part in the end. I agree, GT Veggie's mustache was evil. *nods* What would've been funny is if he had tried to grow

the same mustache-beard combo his father had. That'd look so silly on him :)

To Tomoyo chan: Clone Veggie respects Goku but his remixed genes have him all confused as to how he should be acting around

him. Heh, Goku just saved V.2 from ending up their butler (the cleaningness is part of Bulma messing with his genes). Thanks,

I can't wait to get to the boardwalk!

To dglsprincess105: LOL! Now there's two Veggies fighting over him :) Poor Chi.

To Callimogua: Hee, glad you liked the chapter!

To anonymous: Thanks! Veggie's clone was the one at the door. Or did you mean Goku? They both were :)

To Lil' Chi Chi: Yay! Another wildwood person! It's so great! I love the rides and the games and that one Fudge shop that

gives out free samples...

Goku: (licks his chops) Ahh, choc-co-lateeeee.....

Vegeta: (sweatdrops)

To Lil' Chi Chi: Well, not exactly, but Bulma's starting to get a little worried; they are all starting to look older with

the exception of Goku & Veggie. Happy you liked the "compare and contrast" Veggies :)

To Miyanon: Yay! I'm so glad you're back from vacation! I remember you talking about it in one of your fics. I hope you add

more to that one story you had to temporarily pause cuz of the notebook thing. I'm so sorry I forget it's title! It's the one

with 70-some chapters. And "Onnafied"'s great too! Heehee, it's a weird lil love-triangle sort of thing, isn't it? I'm glad I

got this up before I went on vacation. I feel better knowing I got part 2 wrapped up before I leave.

To FrEaKyMe: Happy you like Veggie's clone! As for Goku ever getting the position of "oujo", only time will tell.

(sigh) MamaMia must be my only sole plothole (or my biggest anyway) in my fics continuity. You have to remember though at the

time one of Veggie's worst fears was being close in any way possible to his "kaka-germed" peasant. And what better way to

give him nightmares than by giving them a relative related to both :) Think of Bardock & Ruby's baby from that fic as sort of

a precursor to the fusions as to people related to both Goku and Veggie. So no, as far as the fics go what happened in that

story didn't count. By the next time Ruby and Bardock re-appeared the timeline had changed so that they were also killed

by Freeza's giant ki-blast along with the remaining saiyajins left on Bejito-sei. It'd be werid since Veggie doesn't hate

Goku like he used to in my early fics either. They kind of, well, evolved. Heehee, a short Goku. When I get to my GT parody

fic Veggie'll get the chance to gloat about being "taller" than Goku while Goku's in his cursed chibinized form. As for the

next chapter, here it is!

Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) Wow, those were all pretty long.

Chuquita: (nervous laugh) Haha, yeah, well, I wanted to make sure I answered all the questions. I'll try to keep my answers

shorter next time.

Goku: Heeheehee, I'm "evolved".

Vegeta: (rolls his eyes) That you are, Kakarrotto.

Chuquita: Yeah! Heck, in the first fic you were so disgusted by Goku you were afraid to hold his hand when he teleported you.

Vegeta: ...

Goku: (grins over at Veggie and tilts his head) HEE~! (grabs Veggie's hand) Feel anything NOW, little Veggie?

Vegeta: (looks down and sweatdrops) You're holding too tight.....(smirks) And my hands are still bigger than yours.

Goku: Yeah, well, I'm bigger than Veggie in gen-er-al! (nods happily)

Vegeta: (snorts) (grumbles something)

Chuquita: You know, surprisingly this chapter held more of the comic-strip's material than part 1. I think there was more

stuff in the middle of the comic that I liked too much to keep out.

Goku: Haha! Like Veggie as a waiter!

Chuquita: (happily) Exactly!

Goku: (bends down to Veggie's height and grins at him) May I take your order?

Vegeta: (smirks evilly) (opens his mouth to say something only to have Chu put her hand over his mouth)

Chuquita: (sweatdrops) I'd rather you didn't.

Vegeta: (grins) But it's a GOOD order, (rubs his hands together maliciously)

Goku: Veggie's so silly!

Chuquita: Well, that just about wraps up part 2! We'll see you in part 3 which'll be ready for hopefully the Monday after

this one (seeing as this part 2 counts for next week's update). Later!

Goku: (puts on sunglasses and grabs a surfboard) (chirps) Surf's up, little Veggie! (grabs Veggie and happily dashes off)

TO THE BEACH!

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Somehow I have a feeling I'm going to regret this.

Goku: Aww, do not worry little Veggie! I'll teach you how to surf and everything! It'll be FUN! Just you-n-me-n-the-waves!

Vegeta: (looks outside at huge crashing waves) "Fun"....right....
