Quote of the Week: -from Shounen Jump #9
Veggie: And Kakarrotto, you're NEXT.
Chuey's Corner:
Goku: (big happy grin) I AM?
Vegeta: Yes you are. (snorts)
Goku: ...for what?
Vegeta: Uh,..I'm not sure.
Chuquita: (holds up shounen jump) (points to Veggie-panel) To be surpassed!
Goku: (as if enlightened) OH! (looks at Veggie w/concern) That'll take a WHILE, Veggie.
Vegeta: (twitches) What's THAT supposed to mean!?
Goku: (happily) Cookie for Veggie?
Vegeta: (brain shifts in confusion at sudden change of subject) Hai, sure. (takes the cookie) This, doesn't look very much
like a cookie, Kakarrotto.
Goku: (pouts) But I made it myself.
Vegeta: It's GREEN.
Chuquita: (sweatdrop) I hope that's mold.
Goku: Isn't lil Veggie gonna take a lil-lil bite of the yummy cookie I made all by myself?
Chuquita: (watching Veggie's face contort in digust) What happened to the other cookies?
Goku: They all got burnt-n-crispy. (sad lil face) (perks up) But somehow this one survived! (big grin) Just like Veggie!
Chuquita: Veggie isn't green.
Vegeta: (still sickened by mutant cookie) I'm about to be.
Chuquita: (to Son) You know the gt eps finally got up to one of my favorites! The Veggie Flashback Episode!
Vegeta: (decides to shove cookie in a drawer in the desk) How can you like it if it's just a group of collective flashbacks!
Chuquita: You're still compact and have your wild Veggie-haircut in the flashbacks.
Goku: (glomps Veggie) Haha! Z Veggie is MUCH littler than GT Veggie! And squishier too!
Vegeta: (insulted) I AM NOT SQUISHY!....AND SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU HUGGED MY GT SELF!?
Chuquita: Yah, there was a whole big scene where GT Veggie went in the shower to meditate; not clean himself off or wash his
hair, just meditate-- (glances over at Veggie)
Vegeta: (big grin) I'm mysterious that way...
Goku: Heeheeheeheehee~~
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) --anyway, his GT self has a physique that looks more like Son-kun's than Veggie's. It makes him seem
too bulky.
Goku: (holds out one of Veggie's arms) Z Veggie isn't bulky at all! Are you Veggie? (sweet lil smile)
Vegeta: (flatly) I'm starting to think you're insulting me on purpose.
Chuquita: But I did notice something I didn't see the first time that made me crack up. (glances over at Veggie) Also GT
Veggie's hair seems to be a little more anti-gravity than yours is, yours just accepts gravity when it's wet but his just..
didn't.
Goku: (moves Veggie's head as if he were speaking) (in a mock little voice) Chu-sama is ram-bel-ling.
Chuquita: (nervous laugh) Ah, sorry! Hahaha.
Vegeta: (yanks himself away from Goku) DO I LOOK LIKE A TOY TO YOU!!
Goku: (w/big wide-eyes) Yes.
Vegeta: (uneasy) Oh...hai, well, (scoots his chair back a few feet away from Son)
Goku: (stares off at Veggie longingly) (makes a little waving motion)
Vegeta: (even more uneasy) CHU! DISTRACT HIS ATTENTION!
Chuquita: (cocks an eyebrow) What?
Vegeta: Kakarrotto's brain has moved off into one of those 'weird' moods again.
Chuquita: OH! Oh-kay. (to Goku) Did you know Veggie has lil Chi-hairs that spring over his ears when he's wet?
Vegeta: WAHH! (falls over) WHAT?!
Chuquita: (snickers) You do! During the episode you had some stray hairs and you had one bouncing over each ear like Chi-Chi
had during the Buu episodes.
Goku: (musing) Veggie can do MANY things Chi-chan can and used to do....with the exception of that one thing.
Vegeta: (plugs his ears with his pointer fingers and starts to loudly sing a song in his native language with his eyes
squinted shut)
Chuquita: Poor Veggie.
Goku: (waddles off to get a bucket of water)
Chuquita: (sweatdrops at Goku) And to think I had to defend him earlier today... (to audiance) Part 2's parody skips ahead
5 episodes to number 7!
Vegeta: (now back to normal since Goku is out of visual range) Trust me, you didn't miss much.
Chuquita: Hai, Giru; the metal-eating robot/dragonradar absorber; was introduced, the gang found their first dragonball--
which had to be yanked out of a dinosaur's mouth, Bulma found out the broken part was a stabilizer component for the ship,
Pan tried to take over the role of Captain of the spaceship, and Goku was mistaken for luggage.
Vegeta: (tries to picture Goku hiding in a suitcase that's way to small for him) "Luggage"?
Goku: (gleefully tip-toeing back to Veggie & Chu with a bucket-full of water)
Chuquita: Part 2's gonna go less by the script than Part 1 did. Actually there was a scene in part 1 that I meant to make
longer but the chapter got long enough already so I'm squeaking it in near this chapter's beginning. It also has a few more
parodyish changes to it than 1.
Vegeta: (grimacing) Bonus points to the person who can guess what's being switched right off the bat.
Chuquita: (pats him on the back) Aww! It's not that bad Veggie! Not for you at least--well, it is, but you know what I mean!
(big smiles)
Goku: (dumps bucket of water over Veggie's head)
Vegeta: GAHH!
Goku: (bounces infront) OOH! LEMMIE SEE LEMMIE SEE!
Vegeta: (twitches) WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING YOU BIG BAKA!!
Goku: (tugging at Veggie's now limp wet hair) Veggie's hair's so pretty... (eyes widen) AWW!!
Vegeta: (flushes red) W--what is it NOW!
Goku: Veggie DOES have little hairs that go over his ears when it's wet like Chi-chan does when hers is dry! THAT'S SO CUTE!
Vegeta: (backs up and walks around to the other side of the desk to wring the water out of his hair) (stares at Son
paranoidly)
Chuquita: I DO have a hairdryer around here...somewhere.. (looks around)
Vegeta: I'm fine, REALLY.
Goku: (pouts) But I like Veggie's hair wet.
Vegeta: WELL I DON'T!! (shakes fist in the air) And if you don't like it then you can just have a nice talk with MY BRAND NEW
TASER! (holds up taser)
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) What would you need with a TASER?
Vegeta: ... (thinks) I...don't know--BUT I'M NOT AFRAID TO USE IT ON KAKARROTTO!!
Goku: (tilts his head w/clueless smile on his face)
Chuquita: (nervous laugh) Ah, here's Part 2!
Summary: When Veggie makes a deal with Pan to become a 2nd stowaway on the spaceship, Goku and Trunks find out they have an
additional crew-member. However, thanks to a special cure created by the Ouji, Goku is now able to temporarily fight off the
curse and keep his adult body for weeks at a time! But will it along with the power of the saiyajin no ouji be enough to save
them from a giant earthquake-causing blob and an embarassing hypnotic dance on their journey to gather the dragonballs?
Find out!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" AH-HAHAHA! AH-HAHAHA! AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! " Pan laughed evilly as she finished tieing up Giru. The small robot
made a whirring noise, catching her attention and the two were soon locked in a wild-west type stare-down. Vegeta walked by
and cocked an eyebrow.
" Uh, hey Kaka-girl? You oh-kay? "
" Can't talk now, Veggie-san. Busy staring. " Pan said quickly. Vegeta shrugged and continued on into the bedroom
where Goku was sitting on his sleeping bag eating a hoagie.
" Hey Kakarrotto? Ever get the feeling that the Kaka-girl back there isn't too fond of your new little friend? "
the ouji said, sitting next to him.
" WhaddaumeanVeggie? " Goku said, his voice muffled by the sandwich chunk in his mouth.
" She tied it up and is currently death-glaring at it from only a few seconds away. "
" So? It's not like Panny's hurting Giru or anything like that. " Goku nodded.
Pan zipped into the room in a quick hunt for something, " AH! " the demi-saiyajin grinned maliciously as she pulled
out a huge pair of scissors and ran back into the other room, " MUHAHAHAHAHA!! "
Goku and Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Chibi-Onna. " Vegeta said dryly, " Must be her version of Onna Sr's bazooka. " he turned to Goku, " Does she always
have personality mood swings like this? "
" I wouldn't know. I haven't seen her in four years. " Goku shrugged.
" URG! Stupid monitor!! "
Both saiyajins got up and peeked in a nearby doorway to see Trunks sitting frustratedly over a keyboard with a huge
monitor on the wall.
" HI TRUNKS!! " Goku chirped louded.
" WAH! " Trunks yelped at the sudden noise, " Oh, Son-san. Hi. I'm, uh, I was trying to contact back home with our
communications system but for some reason the power just went out. It's like somebody just came by and ATE the wires or
something. "
" HELP HELP HELP! DANGER DANGER DANGER! " a little robotic voice screamed.
Vegeta groaned, " Why can't everything just happen in the SAME room. " he said, turning around and walking back from
where he came, followed by Trunks and then Goku with his huge hoagie sandwich.
The trio entered the cockpit to see Pan grinning happily with the giant scissors in her hands and Giru frantically
waving his arms and legs about, tied up to the wall.
" Uh, Panny? Why did you tie Giru to the wall? " Goku said, confused.
Pan turned to them and folded her arms, " Everyone gets punished when they do something bad. "
" I could disagree with that. " Trunks sweatdropped at Vegeta who was grinning in the manner he usually did whenever
he just got away with something he wasn't supposed to do.
" Can I tie VEGGIE to the wall when you're done w/Giru? " Goku chirped.
" WAHHH! " Vegeta fell over, " NOT OVER YOUR LARGE DEAD PEASANT BODY!!! " he screamed, flustered and bright red.
" Trunks! Help me! Trunks! " Giru shouted frantically.
Trunks looked over at the little bot sympathetically and with a bit of amusement, " Pan do you really have to do
that to him? "
" Yeah, come on! Giru was hungry too. " Goku agreed cheerfully as he shoved the hoagie deeper into his mouth and
chomped off another huge bite. Pieces of the hoagie fell onto the floor. Vegeta backed away from it, disgusted.
" Trunks and Ojichan, you two are spoiling him too much. That's why he's been so naughty lately. Remember the other
day? He ate all the spare parts we bought! " she complained.
" Maybe if we just hid them better it wouldn't find them. " Vegeta suggested.
" I WOULD capsulize our stuff if YOU weren't using all the capsules for your own belongings, Toussan. " Trunks
muttered.
" *MUNCH*MUNCH*MUNCH*! " a sound came from where Pan had been pointing. She yelped to see Giru eating her giant
scissors, " Energy recharged! Energy recharged! "
Pan narrowed her eyes at Giru, " You don't care WHAT I say, DO you? Well maybe I'll just shut you down and turn YOU
into a pair of scissors, how would you like THAT? " she snickered evilly.
" *cough* Chibi-Onna. *cough*. " Vegeta fake-coughed to Goku and Trunks. Goku blinked and Trunks sweatdropped.
" Alright. We'll get some more food for Giru at the next stop, oh-kay Pan? " Trunks sighed, defeated.
" AND another pair of scissors! " Pan said excitedly, making the motions with her fingers as if she were using a
pair.
" Hn. " Vegeta glanced up at the eaten part of the ship, then pulled something out of the supply closet and fitted it
into the spot, " There. That should get your communications working again Tru-- " he froze as a lavender blurr rushed past
him and through the next room into the third one down. Trunks started typing frantically until the monitor suddenly turned
on to display the front lawn of Capsule Corp.
" AH! " he turned to the others who, once again, had to make the long trek back across the ship.
" What now? " Vegeta said, getting annoyed at the walking.
" I'm using our communications to get in contact with Goten. I figure since I can't be there to help him with his
cellphone addiction, I can try and explain his problem to his girlfriend and maybe she can help him kick the habit. "
" Parisu? HAHAHAHA! " Pan laughed ecstatically.
" Why do I have a feeling that was not a good sign. " Trunks grimaced. He hit several buttons which searched through
a few different cameras until he spotted Goten sitting on a bench with a girl, his cellphone and hand practically pinned to
his ear, " Is that her? " Trunks asked.
Pan looked at the girl; brunette, brown eyes, yellow dress, happy clueless look on her face, " Yup. That's her. "
" Good! " Trunks grabbed the microphone, " GOTEN! "
" Trunks? " the demi-saiyajin said in reply, surprised and looking around.
" Oh my God! Goten, that tree is talking to you! " Parisu said, shocked.
" I'm not a tree! I'm coming from outer space! I'm talking to you via satelites that are placed inside some of the
security cameras around the building. " he explained.
" ...oh. " Parisu looked very confused.
" Goten, who are you talking to? " Trunks asked him simply.
" Uh, Parisu. "
" They why do you have your cellphone up to your ear. "
" It is-- " Goten blinked, then looked over at his arm, " OH! It is! " he put his arm and the phone down.
" WOW! Is that one of the 6000 series! I have one too! " Parisu gasped with excitement as she pulled out a blue
version of Goten's yellow one.
Goten's eyes widened, " We have the same type of phone... " he mused, then looked at the camera, " DID YOU SEE THAT
TRUNKS! We have the SAME TYPE of phone! " he gave Parisu a hug while Trunks's shoulders slumped, his jaw hanging open,
" My ring tone is the "Mexican Hat Dance"! What's yours? "
" "La Cucaracha!" Oh my God even our ring tones go together! They're from like, the same country! " Parisu beamed.
A dark cloud of doom hung over Trunks's head. Pan patted him on the shoulder comfortingly.
" Kaka-spawn #2 actually found a girlfriend who SHARES his level of INTELLEGENCE?! " Vegeta looked surprised,
then sweatdropped to see the couple eagerly playing with each other's phones, " I pity their children. If they have any...if
they even KNOW how to have any. "
" I can't believe it...I'VE LOST MY SIDEKICK FOREVER!! " Trunks wailed as he spun around dramatically and hit the
off button just as Goten looked up at him curiously.
" Hey Trunks?-- "
" *sniffle*....I'll never save him now! I'll come back to Earth to find he's had the stupid phone surgically attached
to the side of his head!! " Trunks exclaimed.
" Um, Trunks? " Goku said.
" NO! Leave me alone to tend to my sorrow! " Trunks sniffled.
" TORUNKUSUUUUUUUUUU!!! " a voice shouted over the machine as the monitor popped back on using a camera from a
different location; this one in the living room of Capsule Corp. Bura stood infront of the monitor looking very distraught,
" TRUNKS WHERE'S TOUSSAN I NEED TO TALK TO--TOUSSAN! " she turned towards where Vegeta was standing, " Oh Toussan! Your evil
tall clone told me such a horrible lie I had to contact you and make sure it wasn't true! "
" Uh, oh-kay. " Vegeta looked slightly confused.
Bura's eyes watered and her lips quivered, " V.2 SAYS I'M A CLONE TOO AND HE SAID I ONLY HAVE ΒΌ OF YOUR GENES
INSTEAD OF HALF CUZ THAT'S ALL KAASAN NEEDED FOR IT TO WORK AND I'M NOT A CLONE AM I TOUSSAN!! "
The little ouji gawked, " Of course you're not a CLONE just because you look exactly like your mother! I mean look
at Trun--uh, I mean, look at Pa--no. Look at Goten! He looks just like Kakarrotto if Kakarrotto's hair could grow like a
human's! "
" My POOR ADDICTED sidekick! " Trunks wailed again, " Hn, maybe I should explain to him the dangers of cellphone
radiation. YEAH! He'll stop if he finds out that holding a cellphone up to your head all day could cause you to sprout
fingers out of your ear! Haha! That'll freak him out real good! " he grinned in an adult version of his chibi self's evil
plotting grin.
" But my data shows B.1 was a previous cloning experiment. " V.2 bounced infront of the camera, " It was during the
first few rounds of Bulma's mid-life crisis, back before technology advanced enough for her to create a clone aged the same
age as it's donor, " She would obviously need quite a bit of your dna but change most of it into becoming non-dominant and
enabling her to relive her youth through her daughter such as--- "
At this point Bulma moved into view on the screen and tackled V.2 to the ground, smacking him over the head screaming
at him. Bura backed away from them, then looked over pleadingly at Vegeta, " WELL!?? "
Vegeta sighed, " You're NOT a clone, Bura. You CAN'T be! Especially when I perfectly remember the night I-- " he
paused for a moment and looked up to see Goku staring into space with a happy smile on his face, " --don't feel comfortable
talking about my intimate life with Kakarrotto standing less than a foot away from me WILL YOU LEAVE THE ROOM! "
" But I luv Veggie. " Goku said w/big teary sparkily eyes.
" ACK! I NEVER SAID I DIDN'T "LUV" YOU!! " Vegeta snapped.
" Then it *IS* true, little Veggie *DOES* ~*luv*~ me! " the larger saiyajin squealed.
" I mean, I even always thought of myself as being sort of a sister to Jitto and Goggie since I was born after you
and Kakarroujo bonded using the portara fusion earrings and you each ended up with a little of each other's dna in you! "
" Aww, I am a Mommy. Again! " Goku smiled, touched.
" And now YOUR CLONE says I'M a clone TOO?? " Bura shouted.
" Oh, don't listen to V.2, sweetie! " Bulma popped her head up into the shot, " Sometimes his brain-wiped mind gets
the best of him you know. "
" Really? " Bura said.
" Really. " Bulma smiled.
" Hey is Veggiesclone oh-kay down there? " Goku asked peering at the monitor.
" KAKA-RROTTO! " V.2 said gleefully, bouncing back into the shot, " OH KAKA-RROTTO! YOU ARE SO SPECIAL TO ME! " he
said w/big sparkily eyes, " Now if only I could remember why.... "
Goku sweatdropped, " Umm, I guess we'll be seeing you then. "
" Byebye! " V.2 waved eagerly to him.
" HEY! " Bura's voice shouted from behind him, " DON'T SHUT THAT OFF YE-- "
" ... " the group stared at the screen.
" You know what Toussan? " Trunks said finally, " Maybe we can make it without the communications for a little
while. "
" Go remove the part then? "
" Uh-huh. "
Vegeta shrugged and walked off to do so. The ouji sighed. He had to admit, the trip so far had gone a little too
smoothly and too boringly for him. He was a saiyajin. In space. In his element. He needed a challange. An attack by an enemy
ship, a meteor shower, anything! Vegeta removed the makeshift part he had used to get the monitor working again.
" Dragonball detected! Dragonball detected! " Giru waved his arms about. The ouji glanced over at him, then out the
window and gasped to see a planet straight ahead, " 10,200 km Ahead! "
Vegeta eyed the robot suspeciously, then quickly input the distance from the ship to the planet, " 10,200 km. Heh,
whadda you know. " he turned and went back to the other room, " Kakarrotto, there's a dragonball on the planet up ahead.
Have Trunks land the ship there. I'm going to get changed. " he said, climbing a nearby staircase.
" Aye-aye, little Veggie! " Goku happily saluted him.
" Since when is he the Captain, you the 2nd in Command, and I'm just the pilot! " Trunks complained.
" Since now! " Vegeta shouted back, " Now hurry up before we crash into that planet instead of land on it! "
Trunks sighed and dragged himself back to the cockpit, " Of course, your highness. " he said sarcastically.
" Wow, looks like we got lucky this time! Not a single person here! " Trunks smiled as the quartet stood outside
the ship ontop of a grassy hill while Giru floated around, having been freed by Trunks as soon as they landed the ship.
Vegeta snorted, " Well this stinks. How am I supposed to strike the fear and terror enveloped by people who witness
the power of the great and powerful saiyajin no Ouji if there is no one around for me to strike fear and terror into! "
" Where'd you get that outfit anyway? " Trunks cocked an eyebrow. The ouji was wearing his old black and white
battlesuit from Namek; the last authentic one he wore. He had managed somehow to fix the large gaping hole in the front and
back from when he had forced Kuririn to blast him; along with the smaller ones from when Freeza attempted to kill him.
" OH! I remember this one! Veggie poured his SOUL out to me in it! " the larger saiyajin said in awe as he felt
the sleeves.
Vegeta twitched, his face bright red, " I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE AND NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN! "
" Veggie cried so hard to me! " Goku sniffled, then glomped onto the ouji, " Oh VEGGIE! I am so happy you were
brought back with everyone else on Namek! "
" Do YOU know what he's talking about? " Pan said, confused.
Trunks shook his head, " No idea. "
" Mmmmm...............I'm hungry now. " Goku said. Vegeta fell over.
" BAKA! AFTER YOU ATE THAT HUGE MONSTEROUS SANDWICH!! "
" ...yes. "
Vegeta grumbled, " Fine! AFTER we find the dragonball I shall fix you something to eat. "
" YAY! " Goku cheered, dashing off.
" I gotta give Veggie-san this, he's a good cook! " Pan smiled.
" Dragonball detected! Dragonball detected! Northeast, 205 miles! " Giru shouted, waving his arms about.
" HOORAY! OFF WE GO THAN! " Goku cheered, " COME ON GUYS! The faster we get the dragonball, the faster we can get
back to the ship and have Veggie make us some yummy snacks! "
Trunks looked over at Vegeta, " I'm starting to think how much more of a pain this trip with Goku-san would be
without you. "
Vegeta smirked, " It always feels nice to be appreciated you know. Especially by the peasants. " he said, then
ran off after Goku, " WAIT FOR ME KAKARROTTO!! "
Pan blinked, " "Peasants"? "
Trunks sighed, " LONG story... "
" Speaking of PEASANTS... "
" Wow! So there ARE people on this planet after all. "
" How come all their ears are shaped like Piccolo's? "
" And how are WE supposed to know that, Kakarrotto!? "
Vegeta, Pan, and Goku conversed while Trunks spied on the group of people who were all surrounding one house. The
quartet sneaked to the back of the crowd and started shoving their way through.
" Um, excuse me. " Trunks said, tapping one of the people on the shoulder, " Is something wrong here? "
" It's Zunama. " he said sadly.
" Zunama? " Goku said looking down at the man, baffled.
" Dragonball found! Dragonball found! " Giru said, overjoyed. The group all turned their heads towards the robot and
looked to see a girl sitting in a chair with the 6-star dragonball woven into her ponytail like a hair accessory.
" It's the 6-star ball! " Goku grinned as he and the others ran over to the girl.
A man came up to them, " Who...who are you guys? Barging into my house without introductions? "
" Apparently they don't recognize me in this part of the universe like the last planet. " Vegeta mumbled to himself,
partially disheartened that he couldn't scare the natives.
" Ah...we're really sorry. We're just excited about finding the dragonball. " Trunks tried to explain, " We came all
the way from a far off planet called Earth, hoping to find this lost ball. I'm sorry that we got so carried away. "
The man looked at them, peeved, " I don't know what you are doing here, but we're in the middle of a crisis here.
We don't have time to worry about anyone else! "
" Doma, there's no reason for you to get mad at these people. " the girl in the chair said comfortingly.
" Lenu... " he looked at her with concern.
" Hey mister, what is a Zunama? " Goku interupted, only to be tugged on the gi by an old man, who cleared his throat.
" Zunama is a hideous monster who has been terrorizing our village. He has the power to cause earthquakes just by
waving his two long antennae. From time to time, he comes down to our village and demands impossible things of us. " he
explained, " Only he's emerging very often lately and his impossible demands have been escalating each time. And the last
time he was here he demanded something of us totally unacceptable! "
" Unacceptable! " Goku chirped as if it were fun word to say. Vegeta sweatdropped, " Heeheehee. "
" Danger approaching! Danger approaching! " Giru panicked all of a sudden, moments later the ground began to shake.
" It's Zunama. He's come back. " the old man paled.
" Danger approaching! Danger approaching! Danger approaching! Danger! Danger! Danger, Will Robinson! " Giru shouted
frantically only to have Pan bop him over the head.
" Knock it off! Do you think we're all deaf!? " she exclaimed, annoyed only to look up and pale at the large greenish
blue blob before them. He had stubby arms and legs and a frog-like face with antennae sticking out of either side of his
cheeks like a long mustache.
" So which one will be my bride? " Zunama announced. The four visitors in the crowd fell over.
" HIS BRIDE?! " Pan exclaimed flabbergasted.
" THAT'S DISGUSTING! " Vegeta snapped, green in the face.
Trunks nearly choked, " You mean...that "totally unacceptable" thing was... "
The old man frowned, " That's right. My daughter Lenu is the one with the bad fortune. "
" THAT'S NOT RIGHT! THAT'S A HUMAN SACRIFICE! " Trunks snapped angrily, " HOW UNCIVILIZED CAN YOU GET!? "
The creature danced around, oblivious to what Trunks had just said, " I can't believe I'm really getting married!
How happy I am! How happy I am! Congratulations to me! Congratulations to me! Happy Zunama! Lucky Zunama! La, la, la! " it
sang while bouncing around while the others gawked.
" I wonder if HE knows who I am. " Vegeta pondered at the thought of the ego-rush he'd get from having a giant feared
monster run off in terror at the sight of the little ouji.
" Veggie shush! " Goku whispered.
" What! I can't have a little fun! At least I know the general direction of where in space we are! " Vegeta huffed.
" HEY! What's going on there!? " Zunama said, annoyed at the unreplying populous, " Give me the bride now, or
I'm gonna cause another earthquake! "
" ... "
A vein bulged on Zunama's forehead, he paused and grinned, " Okay, I guess you want me to wave my antennae, is that
it? "
Frightened screams came from the crowd.
" This doesn't look good!! " the old man said in horror.
" Okay, then I'll do it! " Zunama wiggled his antennae wildly and within seconds a large earthquake covered the area,
shaking nearly the whole group to the floor.
" I can't believe it! He really is capable of causing earthquakes! " Trunks's eyes bulged out of his head.
" So what is your answer? You'd better give me what you promised, or I'll have the volcano erupt next! " he said
with a gleeful look on his face as the ground continued to shake.
" HA! WE CAN EASILY OUTRUN ANY BAKA VOLCANO! " Vegeta boasted. Goku yelped and slapped his hand over the ouji's
mouth, pulling him back under the table with the rest of their gang.
" I'll do it! I'll really do it! You know I can do it! " the creature said in a sing-song voice.
" Wait!!! " Lenu shouted frantically.
Zunama grinned and looked over his shoulder, " Will you be my bride? Haha! What is your name, huh? " he said, his
antennae still wiggling.
" My name is Lenu. I'll do it. Please stop causing earthquakes! " she pleaded.
" Lenu-san! " Pan gasped.
" Don't!! " Trunks shouted.
" LENU!! " Doma exclaimed, waving his arms about to go after her only to have several villagers around him hold him
back.
" Doma, I know how you feel, but there's nothing we can do about this! " one of the villagers said to him.
" We've got to do something about this! " Pan said, worried.
" LET GO! LET GO OF ME RIGHT NOW! LENU!! LE-NUUUU!! " Doma shouted as he frustratedly dragged his body across the
floor with almost a dozen other villagers holding onto him.
" He's certainly persistant, I'll give him that. " Trunks sweatdropped.
" I say let him go after her and I'll take care of the disgusting hideous blue blob for you. " Vegeta said, sickened
at the sight out the window. Zunama was on his stomach and waving his antennae around Lenu as if he were a metal detector at
an airport.
" You're so cute! I like you! You'll be my wife. " Zunama smiled, then got up, " I'll come back tomorrow. You be a
good girl and wait for me. One more thing. Be pretty and wear a wedding dress for me. " he grinned widely, then bounced off,
chanting, " Earthquake, thunder and Zunama... "
Lenu twitched as the results of the situation she had just put herself into went into effect. She backed up in horror
, her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she fainted.
" LENU-SAN! " Pan and the others gasped.
" Hm, you know this sorta reminds me of something that has happened to me before, yet I cannot remember what that
thing happens to be. " Goku wondered outloud.
" I think I would remember a giant monster with earthquake-causing antennae, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said flatly.
" No, it was before Veggie...I think. If only I could remember WHAT, then I would know how to solve this problem... "
The ouji turned to go back inside, and muttered sarcastically, " Goodluck, Kakarrotto. "
" Thank u little Veggie for I will try! "
" Food always helps me think harder! " Goku said to himself as he sat on a stool in the kitchen. Various cooks rushed
about the room preparing food while the large saiyajin happily sniffed the air. His eyes alighted on what looked like a plate
of bite-sized fruits. Goku looked down at his stomach and grinned, " A little snack before Veggie prepares that meal for me!"
he hopped off the stool and sneaked over to the table on his knees, then reached his hand up to grab a mini-apple only to be
twapped on the hand by a cooking utencil, " Oww! " he rubbed it, pouting.
" What do you think you're doing! A grown man trying to sneak food from the table! " a heavyset woman shook her
stirring spoon at at him, " All this food is for tommorow's wedding! You can't take anything from here! "
" ...can I take it from you tommorow? "
" NO! "
" ...you know, today is yesterday's tommorow. "
" ... " the woman looked confused at Goku's sudden deepness long enough for him to grab a plate of muffins and run
off. She looked around, now back to reality, " Now where did he go? " she shrugged it off and went back to cooking.
" Don't worry! We'll beat that Zunama guy! " Pan said determindly as she, Trunks, and Vegeta stood on one side of the
bed Lenu had been placed in. Lenu's boyfriend, father, and sister on the other side, " And if we succeed, will you give us
that dragonball in return? " she said, grinning sneakily while pointing to it.
" But, is it really possible for you to defeat Zunama? " the old man asked, concerned.
" Don't worry! Ojichan, Veggie-san, and Trunks here are the three strongest men on our planet! And I happen to be the
strongest woman on our planet! Right? " she grinned over at Trunks and Vegeta.
Vegeta smirked boastfully, " Not to mention that you are also in the presence of the GREAT AND POWERFUL saiyajin no
ouji! I, along with Kakarrotto, are also legendary super saiyajins! "
" *A-hem*! " Trunks gave an attention-getting cough.
" Oh yeah, and Mr. C.E.O here is too...you DO still remember how to go super saiyajin, don't you Trunks? " Vegeta
asked suspicously. Pan elbowed Vegeta in the gut.
" Hey! They don't have to know if he or I can or can't go ssj! " Pan whispered to him, " As long as we get another
dragonball out of this. You want to remove that curse from Ojichan, don't you Veggie-san? "
" OF COURSE I CARE ABOUT MY PEASANT! THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS I CAME WITH YOU ON THIS TRIP IN THE FIRST PLACE! "
Vegeta snapped defensively.
" Uh... " Pan sweatdropped, then turned back to the others, " After all, you don't want Lenu to become the wife of
that hideous monster, do you? "
" Pan-chan. " Lenu smiled gratefully at her, turning her head towards the girl.
" I'll go too! " Doma nodded detemindly.
" Doma! " Lenu beamed.
" I can't let Lenu go through this ordeal alone! I'll go with them and fight Zunama! " he said.
" Let's do it together, Doma-san! Let us help you get rid of that monster! " Trunks agreed.
" Yeah! I'd be happy to fight a strong guy. " Goku said, walking into the doorway with the plate of muffins in his
hands.
" I told you not to take the food, you naughty man! " the heavyset woman walked up to him aggitatedly and smacked
Goku on the butt, then took the muffins back. Goku's face flushed pink and he rubbed his rear in slight pain.
The entire group turned to him, gawking, mortified.
" Kakarrotto! " Vegeta groaned, embarassed, then suddenly stomped out into the hallway, " AND WHERE DO YOU GET OFF
SLAPPING MY PEASANT'S BEHIND, LADY!! " he yelled angrily, " YOU GET BACK HERE I'LL SHOW YOU HOW PAINFUL SLAPPING CAN BE! "
" Ha! BRING IT ON, SHORTY! " the woman shouted back challanging.
" "SHORTY"!!! " Vegeta exploded.
Goku laughed nervously, " Veggie my butt's alright, really! "
" AT LEAST I'M NOT FIVE TIMES MY NATURAL BODY WEIGHT!! " Vegeta yelled back down the hall.
" Okay... " Goku trailed off, " I'll do it for your sake, Lenu! " he said, determined, then started striking a series
of poses which would've made Saiyaman proud.
" Baka, you just came in here! You don't even know what we're talking about! " Vegeta exclaimed. Goku paused.
" Oh....Veggie's right. " he looked over at them, " SO! What are we talking about? " he said with a cheesy grin.
" Going to fight Zunama and save Lenu from becoming his wife! " Trunks explained.
" Oh! OH-KAY! I will come with you! " Goku said cheerfully. He looked around suspicously, then pulled a muffin out of
his pants pocket and shoved it in his mouth, " I AM VICTORIOUS! "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " If you wanted a muffin so bad I could just go back to the ship and get you one. "
" No thank you little Veggie 'o mine! " Goku swallowed the treat, " Maybe later! "
" So can we do it? " Trunks asked eagerly.
" PLEEASE! " Pan said with an equal amount of eagerness.
" Okay... " the old man said, " ...please, help us. "
Vegeta sweatdropped at the lack of enthusiasm in the old man's voice.
Pan zipped over to Lenu, grinning Son-style, " Great! Now, Lenu, there's one thing I'd like to ask of you... "
" It's BEAUTIFUL! " Pan said in awe as she stared at the dress on the manniquen, which consisted of a hat-like
headpiece with a pink veil, a reddish-pink jacket, black tube-top, blue sash, and pink, yellow, blue, and purple dress, " So
this is the wedding dress style on this planet! "
" Heh, you should've seen the martial garments on Bejito-sei. Now THEY were "beautiful". " Vegeta said proudly,
folding his arms.
" Realllly, Veggie? " Goku said, intregued.
" Mmm. " Vegeta nodded.
Lenu smiled at the outfit from the chair she was sitting in. Her legs still weak from prolonged shock, " Yes. I was
supposed to wear it for-- "
" Don't worry, don't worry. You'll be able to wear this dress for your real groom. " Pan said happily.
" Thank you Pan-chan. " Doma put his hand on Lenu's shoulder, grateful.
" What are you so interested in that dress for anyway? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow, walking over and tugging on the
skirt.
Pan smiled in a content manner uncannily similar to the one the ouji normally got on his face as soon as he had
completed forming an evil scheme, " You'll see... "
" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! " a frightened scream of anguish echoed
throughout the household.
" Veggie-san will you be quiet for one second! " Pan said annoyed as she struggled with the ouji to get the dress
over his head.
" WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY! YOU BAKA CHIBI-ONNA LET GO OF ME RIGHT NOW!! " Vegeta yelled at her, then gasped for air as his
head finally popped through a hole, " DO I LOOK LIKE A GIRL TO YOU!! "
" Panny, why are you tryin to put the fluffy dress on my little Veggie? " Goku asked curiously, leaning over them.
" THAT'S WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW! " a clearly angry Vegeta screamed up at him.
" Be quiet Veggie-san! " she said to him, then turned to Goku, " Veggie-san is going to be a decoy! "
Goku blinked, " A decoy? "
" I don't like the sound of that. " Vegeta grimaced, looking down at the dress.
" Yes. Now listen, tomorrow we'll have Veggie-san pretend to be a bride and go to Zunama's place. Then let him drink
a lot and get him drunk, and once he falls asleep, we'll--- " she yanked away a curtain to expose a gigantic pair of
scissors, " --cut off Zunama's antennae with these!!! "
" Pan's plan dangerous! " Giru said, gripping on tightly to Trunks's shoulder.
" I'M NOT A FEMALE!! " Vegeta screamed up at the ceiling.
Trunks looked at the scissors with genuine fear, " PAN! WHERE THE HECK DID YOU GET A GIANT PAIR OF SCISSORS! "
Pan just grinned back at him, " :D "
" Ah, I see, if you cut Zunama's antennae off he won't be able to threaten the people with any more earthquakes. "
Vegeta said rubbing his chin in throught, " Pretty ingenius, almost on par with my own brand of evil plots. " he said
admirably, " BUT I'M NOT DRESSING IN DRAG!!! " he roared at Pan.
" Yeah, I guess you're right. You don't make a very pretty girl anyway. " Pan said.
Vegeta fell over, " WHAT!! " he snapped, instantly back on his feet.
" It doesn't fit you right anyway, just look how how big it is on you. " they both turned towards the mirror.
" A little too gaudy if you ask me. " Vegeta muttered. Pan smacked him on the back of the head, " OWW! "
" VEGGIE-SAN! DON'T SAY SUCH THINGS INFRONT OF LENU! SHE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!! " Pan screamed, embarassed.
Vegeta lamely glanced over his shoulder at Lenu, " Oh. Hi. " he said flatly, then turned back to Pan, " I am NOT
dressing up like a girl!! I HAVE MY PRIDE YOU KNOW!! "
Trunks mock-laughed, " Oh-HO, do we all know about your "pride", Toussan. "
" Well if it's too big for you I certainly can't fit into it. " Pan said sadly, motioning to the fact that she was
actually shorter than Vegeta by several inches. This fact inflated Vegeta's ego slightly.
" I AM taller than you, aren't I? " he gave a big toothy grin.
Pan thought for a moment and looked at Vegeta, " Veggie-san if YOU can't wear this, than-- " an evil grin appeared on
her face and she looked over her shoulder, " Torunkusuuu! " she said sweetly. Trunks froze in place, the demi-saiyajin on his
way to tip-toeing out of the room.
" Ah, I can't wear that thing, Pan-chan! I mean, just look at me and Lenu! " he grabbed Lenu out of her chair and
pulled her against him, a surprised and confused look on her face, " I mean, just look at our coloring! I have lavender hair,
hers is black! I have blue eyes, she has black ones! I have a slightly pale skin due to being cooped up at work all summer,
hers is nicely tanned from doing outside activities! " Trunks laughed nervously, trying to plead his case.
" I'm not letting you dress my son up in drag either. " Vegeta glared at Pan.
" Alright alright! Geez guys! Don't you wanna help Lenu at all! " Pan gave them a mock-pouty look. Both the father
and son stared at her with equal sarcastic expressions, " Ugh! Fine! Be that way! " she looked around the room and burst into
a grin at the sight of Goku sitting on a chair in the corner stuffing another stolen muffin into his mouth.
Goku tilted his head at her, " Panny why do you have that creepy look on your face? "
" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! " a higher-pitched, frightened scream of
anguish echoed throughout the household.
" Hahaha! Son-san! It looks great on you! " Trunks grinned at him, amused. Goku sat in the chair looking downward
with a pouty expression on his face and his cheeks glowing bright pink with embarassment. The large saiyajin whimpered.
" The size is just perfect! " Pan clasped her hands together. Vegeta looked on with a worried unease.
" Veh-GEEEE~~ " Goku whimpered, looking over at the little ouji with sad desperate eyes. Vegeta's face turned bright
red.
" DON'T LOOK AT ME KAKARROTTO!! " Vegeta exclaimed, " I'M not the one who fits into the dress, you know! " he
turned away, twitching with his face still bright red.
" Now, you have to wear some makeup, then change the hair, and put the veil on.. " Pan cheerfully rattled off.
Goku froze in horror along with Vegeta, who's expression went un-noticed due to he had his back towards the others.
The little ouji's heart nearly thumped right out of his chest.
" NO WAY! " Goku shrieked, " I MAY BE VEGGIE'S OUJO SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE BUT I'M NOT WEARING ANY MAKEUP!! "
" YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE MY OUJO, BAKA!! " Vegeta snapped, trying to shout over the ringing in his ears.
Pan pointed at Goku with a stubborn look on her face, " Ojichan! How could you! You'd rather have Lenu go through all
this instead! "
" Well, no.... " Goku twiddled his fingers, then gulped, " Oh alright, Panny. " he pouted.
Trunks grinned and temporarily left the room, trying not to burst into laughter, " I'm gonna need some popcorn to
watch THIS movie! "
" I feel like I'm gonna throw up. " Goku said nervously as he waited in the chair. Lenu had pulled the large
saiyajin's bangs back with bobbypins a few minutes ago and tied a barber's smock around his neck. Goku uneasily surveyed the
table infront of him that was attached to the mirror he had been staring at. All sorts of makeup, some the likes of which the
saiyajin had never even seen, were scattered all over the table along with a few mannequin heads with wigs sitting ontop of
them, a curly blonde one and a straight black one. Goku looked around helplessly for Vegeta, who, due to the emotional
uncomfortableness of the situation, had slipped out of the room and was now guarding the door.
The little ouji looked left, then right, then leaned his ear against the door to easedrop.
" Now just hold still oh-kay Ojichan! " Pan said cheerfully.
" It's not gonna hurt, is it? " Goku stammered.
" Of course not! " Pan sweatdropped.
" Yeah! Stay strong, Goku-san! " Trunks rooted for him in the backround, munching on a bowl of popcorn.
" You're just in a good mood because you got out of having to dress up like a girl! " Goku pouted stubbornly at him.
" Yes. Yes I am. " Trunks gave a similar grin which he had used regularly as a chibi playing pranks on people with
Goten.
Pan and Lenu were left to the job of giving the large saiyajin the makeover. Pan patted something on Goku's face,
followed by Lenu who did something similar with a large puff, Pan put some mascara and eyeshadow, and Lenu finished using
some lipstick.
" There you go! Finished! " Pan said, both her and Lenu proud of her job, " You make a pretty girl, Ojichan. " she
grinned, amused.
Trunks looked over at Goku and burst into laughter.
They turned Goku back to the mirror and the large saiyajin let out a strangled yelp at his reflection. Pan and Lenu
had gone with with the black wig, but due to the fact that Goku's bangs kept springing out of the bobbypins they cut off the
flat bangs of the wig and just let the saiyajin's natural ones take the wig's bangs place. They had drawn a little insignia
on Goku's cheek which matched Lenu's perfectly. The large saiyajin's eyes widened at all the makeup on his face which
consisted of a ruby red lipstick, pink eyeshadow and black mascara.
" I think I remember where I had been in a similar situation like this be-fore. " Goku squeaked out, " Bulma made me
dress up like a girl to be a decoy for Oolong back when he was still a shapeshifting monster attacking a city who had
demanded one of the girls from the village marry him and this one old lady had one of the dragonballs so Bulma and me helped
them so we could get it! " he rattled off, a nervous sweat going down his face, " I didn't have to wear any makeup last time
though! And Oolong was just kidnapping girls, not marry any of them. "
" Oh Ojichan, calm down! You seem so nervous! " Pan patted him on the shoulder, " There's nothing to worry about! "
" You, you think so? " Goku said nervously, " I mean it's not like the last time I was forced to do somethin like
this. "
" Don't worry, you're a big boy, girl, now. You can take care of yourself! " Pan said, grinning. Trunks snickered
and tried to keep his laughter down to a minimum.
" Hey! I know if Chi-chan were here that there would be no way she would let you guys dress me up as a girl so you
better not snicker at me cuz if that were the case and she was here then YOU would be the one stuck dressed up like this! "
Goku nodded at Trunks, who paled and twitched at the thought. Goku looked at himself in the mirror, " I guess I don't look
THAT bad. I'm actually kinda pretty. Wow, Chi-chan would hit me over the head and then yell at Veggie for that. "
" See! You're going to be a GREAT decoy! " Pan gave him a quick hug.
" Can I take a picture? " Trunks grinned evilly.
" I dunno... " Goku trailed off.
" *SNAP*! Too late! " Trunks beamed chibi-ishly as he put his camera back in his khaki pants pocket, " Didn't think
I'd wear pants with all these pockets and not expect to put stuff in 'um, did ya? " he said, sitting back down.
" Ohhhhh.. " Goku groaned, " I have a bad feeling about to-mmorow. "
And so, to-mmorow came...
" Such pretty flowers, Lenu-san! " Pan said in awe of the bouquet of pink flowers they had handed to the larger
saiyajin, who was now wearing the veiled hat in addition to the dress and makeup.
" I think the only redeeming quality about having to dress up in drag is that little Veggie doesn't have to see me
like this. " Goku said sadly.
" Yeah, Toussan's been camping outside the door since last night when you guys started. " Trunks said, pointing over
his badk towards the door.
" POOR little Veggie! " Goku said, his heart-strings feeling tugged at, " Having to sleep on the FLOOR all night
long! " he turned to Trunks and Pan, " He KNOWS he could've gone back to the ship to sleep there. "
" I think he was trying to guard you or something. " Trunks said. The larger saiyajin's eyes watered even more.
" You mean Veggie was trying to make sure I was SAFE? My poor little Veggie he probably hasn't slept all night! "
" Ojichan don't cry! Your mascara will run! " Pan sweatdropped, reaching for a tissue to give him.
" I don't care! " Goku ran over to the door which to his surprise had already squeaked open. He grabbed the door and
yanked it open the rest of the way, causing a sleepy little creature to slip from his makeshift pillow; the door; and fall
completely to the floor, " VEGGIE! "
The blood-shot eyed ouji scrambled to his feet only to look up and gawk at Goku. The larger saiyajin's face turned
bright pink.
" Um....hi Veggie. You--you oh-kay? " Goku said shyly.
Vegeta looked away, feeling his own face heat up.
" Veggie? " Goku said hopefully, wanting to hear the ouji say something.
" That's a, really bad wig. " Vegeta mumbled, twiddling his fingers, " But, the rest looks..kinda, pretty. "
" AWW! VEGGIE THINKS I AM BEAUUU-TIFUL! " Goku squealed, grabbing and hugging Vegeta tightly.
" AAGH! I NEVER SAID YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL!! I SAID "KINDA PRETTY"!! " Vegeta panicked, his whole body glowing bright
red as he tried to squirm out of the hug only to freeze in place, " Wait--what the? "
" They are tissues, little Veggie! " Goku chirped down at him. Vegeta's eyes widened to the point where they nearly
took up all the space in his head.
Vegeta motionlessly slid down the larger saiyajin until his butt hit the floor, " Just when I thought it was
impossible for me to become any more mentally disturbed than I already am... " he said in a faraway voice.
" Thanks to little Veggie my self-confidence is restored! " Goku beamed happily, then bent down to where Vegeta was
staring into space, " ~*THANK*YOU*LITTLE*VEH-GEE*~! " he said sweetly.
" Don't mention it. " Vegeta squeaked out.
" I'm sorry you had to do this for us, Goku. " Lenu apologized.
" EEE~! " Goku whipped around to face her, " Aww, you do not have to apologize to me, Lenu! " Goku clutched the
flowers sweetly, " It's no big deal! Really! "
" Lenu, " Doma said, entering the room with a large anchor tied to his back diagonally like a sword, " I'm going with
them. "
" Be careful, Doma. " Lenu pleaded. He nodded.
" You're going to attack that giant blob with a boat anchor? " Vegeta said skeptically, still sitting on the floor.
" I should be able to tear a hole in him with this. It's much more affective than it looks. " Doma replied.
" Uh-huh. " the ouji said flatly.
The heavyset woman who had repremanded Goku yesterday came into the room carrying a fairly big jug, and showed it to
Pan, " This is a special liquor we made. It's very strong so that anyone who drinks it should become drunk in a matter of
minutes. "
" Thank you! " Pan said gratefully.
" Does it taste any good? " Goku asked, sniffing the bottle, " Me and little Veggie would like a taste! " he grinned.
" WAHHHH!! " Vegeta yelped, jumping to his feet, " NO WE WOULDN'T NO WE WOULDN'T!! " he waved his arms about
frantically, " I CAN'T GET DRUNK WITH KAKARROTTO! WE COULD END UP DOING SOMETHING HORRIBLE WITHOUT ANY INHIBITIONS!! " the
ouji shrieked, his face bright red and terrifying images flashing through his mind making him blush even worse.
" He's not allowed to have any anyway. " the woman motioned to Goku, " How are you supposed to be in the right mind
to trick Zunama if you're drunk yourself! "
" Ohhh, but it smells all yummy. " Goku pouted, " ...can I have some AFTER we defeat Zunama? "
" Of course, I don't see why not! " she smiled.
" YIPPEE! " Goku cheered.
" You, on the other hand, can have some now if you'd like. " the woman said, offering some to Vegeta, who's mind was
still in the middle of a embarassing daymare. He snapped to attention, then glanced back and forth from the bottle to Goku,
who was cheerfully waving at him.
" NO! NO NO NO NO NO!!! I, I'm better off sober until this particular adventure happens to be over. Hahahahahahaha! "
Vegeta laughed nervously.
Pan turned to Goku, " Do you understand, Ojichan? You'll act just as I told you in front of Zunama, oh-kay? Never
forget that you're supposed to be Lenu-san, or everything will be ruined! " she said, glaring up at him.
" A--alright. I'll try real hard, Panny. " Goku said, slightly intimidated by the Chi-Chi-ness she was radiating at
the moment.
" THERE! HERE HE COMES! " Doma shouted from outside on the porch. The others turned towards him.
The group peeked over the edge of the porch fence as Zunama bounded over the hill wearing a red bow-tie and singing
"Here Comes the Bride". Goku whimpered uneasily, then let out a small sudden yelp as he felt something grab him from behind
protectively. The saiyajin looked up to see Vegeta latched onto him tightly and growling defensively off in the creature's
direction.
" He shall DIE. " Vegeta hissed out out of the bottom of his throat.
" Veggie, Veggie you're holding on too tightly, it's making it hard to breathe Veggie. " Goku said, trying to stay
calm while he attempted to pry the ouji's fingers out from off his belly.
" Oh-kay! Operation-Make-Zunama-Drunk-and-Cut-Off-those-Hideous-Antennae begins! " Pan shouted excitedly.
" Don't you think your plot title's just a little TOO long? " Trunks sweatdropped. Pan sent him a death-glare, " Ah,
nevermind! "
" My sweet Lenu, I'm here to take you home. " Zunama said as he bent down infront of the front door. The entire group
had zipped back behind the curtains when they saw him getting close enough.
" Ojichan! Hurry! " Pan whispered loudly to him. Goku yanked the last of Vegeta's fingers off of him and dashed out
to the patio only to trip over Lenu's dress and fall down on his stomach. Pan groaned and slapped herself on the face.
" Lenu-chan? Honey? It's me, your Zunama! Lenu-chan? " Zunama said gleefully. He paused, then growled in annoyance at
the fact that no one had shown up, " What's the matter!? WOULD YOU RATHER I MAKE THE VOLCANO ERUPT!? " he roared.
" Oh-kay, here I am! " Goku shouted as he got up and fixed the hat and veil on his head. The large saiyajin shifted
nervously on the patio as Zunama stood up to see him.
" Lenu? There you are! " Zunama smiled.
" Ah, ha--hai. I have been waiting for you, my dear. " Goku said, trying his best to smile. He twitched when he
sensed a large power behind him fluxuating badly and in his mind's eye saw Vegeta clawing at the floor in rage and trying to
drag his body, which was being held down by Trunks, Pan, and Doma, out onto the patio.
" Kakarrot..to... " Vegeta pulled himself an inch further. Pan slapped her hand over Vegeta's mouth.
" Will you be quiet! You're going to blow the whole plan wide open! " Pan whispered to him, annoyed.
" Lenu, your voice sounds somewhat different today. " Zunama said, slightly suspicious.
" Oh come on, can't you do a little better? " Pan complained, whispering to Goku from behind some bushes. The large
saiyajin nearly fell over at the remark. He looked back at Zunama and grinned cheesily.
" Umm, AH! I kinda caught a bad cold last night, you see. " Goku laughed nervously as he put his hand behind his head
in typical Son-fashion.
" Is that so? You poor thing. Come closer, my dear. Let me see your tiny, adorable face. " Zunama said sweetly.
Goku sweatdropped, " I... "
" What's wrong, honey? Come closer, it's okay. " Zunama motioned the saiyajin forward.
Goku froze, a lump caught in his throat, " I have a really bad feeling about this... "

END OF PART 2!
Chuquita: YAY! I can't believe it! This only took me three days! *cheers* I am so happy! And it's normal-sized too!
Vegeta: This was more mentally painful than the last chapter. (twitches)
Goku: (gawks) PAINFUL FOR VEGGIE?! I had to dress up like a girl! And in a wedding dress!
Vegeta: Which was very gaudy-looking in comparison to those on Bejito-sei. (nods thoughtfully)
Chuquita: (to audiance) For anyone who hasn't seen this ep, in the actual episode it's Trunks who has to dress up as Lenu.
But doesn't the guy have enough problems? I mean, butt-loads of work, his best-friend's cellphone addiction, and now he has
to dress in drag on some alien planet and pretend to get married to a giant creepy blob-monster?
Vegeta: (angrily) THEN WHY ARE YOU MAKING KAKARROTTO DO IT INSTEAD!
Chuquita: (grins) But it's more FUN this way! Besides, I COULD have chosen YOU for the role you know. (smirks) All they'd
have to do is hem the dress down a little bit.
Vegeta: (pales at the thought of himself in the outfit with all that makeup on) ...*twitch*....
Chuquita: (smiles at him) My point exactly!
Goku: (smiles) I bet Veggie would look *pretty* in the lil outfit.
Vegeta: (pushes his chair back) WAHH! (snaps) I WOULD NOT!!
Chuquita: (happily) Actually I figured out a way to cheat my windows media player so that I could make an actual screenshot
of what Veggie WOULD look like in the dress!
Vegeta: (twitches) WHAT!!
Chuquita: (to Veggie) When you use the alt & print-screen thing it only copies the a picture of the player, but if you move
the picture over the actual player itself, the screen appears through the paint version of it! I just outlined Trunks with
paint's pencil, and, since he happened to inherit Veggie's facial features, all I had to do then is just draw an outline of
Veggie's hair and such instead of outline Trunks's hair! I colored the picture and everything! Now I use it as my desktop
image! (happy grins) Veggie looks so sad in it. I actually like this one so much I may upload it to my site. Well, the site
itself only sorta works but I'm really good at uploading individual stuff. Here's the picture's url! It looks kinda fuzzy
in jpg form though. www geocities com/pepsi_girl_veggie/veggiesandressjpgversion . JPG (just put the dots back and backspace
the . & JPG one space)
Goku: (giggles at picture) Heeheehee, Veggie looks like he's gonna cry!
Chuquita: Trunks actually did cry in that shot. But Veggie crying just because he had to dress in drag isn't very authentic.
Goku: Hee~! You mean Veggiethentic!
Chuquita: Precisely!
Vegeta: (grumbles) At least I didn't have to wear the makeup!
Chuquita: Oh, now that I know how to do this Veggie, I can always make more screenshot-doodles like this.
Goku: (cheers) YAH! I wanna see little Veggie in the pretty outfit with the silly hat!
Vegeta: (panicks) Na--NO YOU DON'T!!
Chuquita: (grins) Let's answer a few questions from the reviews now, shall we?
To Tomoyo chan1: Hee~ Glad you liked Goten's lil cellphone addiction! I am keeping Veggie & Pan's relationship mild because
they have that similarites repel thing where their personalities are just similar enough that they won't get all competitive
with one another and start to dislike each other the way Veggie and Chi-Chi do. I don't have any msn stuff, can aol people
use msn chatrooms?
To Rissa of the Saiya-Jin: Yay! People are happy I sent Veggie up with them! I totally agree with you that he would've been
a tremendous help to have on the spaceship. Sadly I've only read the summaries & scripts for eps 3-6 so I don't completely
know about those couple episodes. I use sub eps I downloaded a while ago along w/dbzoa's scripts to help w/these chapters.
I can't wait to get to the part with the worms! And not friendly blue worms like in Buu, giant sharp-toothed people-eating
worms! *grins* Poor Veggie. The Para Para Brothers DO recognize who he is though, unlike the villagers on Zunama's planet.
I also got a kick out of how in "Interstellar" you pointed out Veggie was a scorpio & Son-kun's a pisces. I have a lil
horoscope book and they both fit the profiles perfectly! *grins*
Chuquita: (happily) And I'm a pisces too!
Goku: (grins) Fiiiiiiish!
To Callimogua: So glad you liked it!
To RyukoVulpix: I haven't seen any of Funi's dub yet. I do wanna see their 'homemade' flashback episode though. Just cuz
Earth isn't being terrorized by some evil villain doesn't mean you just skip the eps until one DOES appear. (Bebi IS kinda
creepy, but he DID bring back Bejito-sei; even if none of the saiyajins came back with it) Heeheehee, Veggie's a King-Child.
:D I'm flattered about the GT recreation thing! The early GT ones were funny, it's just that with how much action was in the
end of dbz that a lot of fans freaked out about all the humor so Toei had to change it. A lot of the people working at Toei
didn't like GT Veggie's new look so they changed it later on and let his hair start to grow back (if you look at him in ep 2
as compaired to around the evil Shenlong saga, his hair looks much more Veggie-istic near the end of the show) I can't wait
to get to the Goggie parody!
To Afrodite: Hee~ the first chapter was big, but I didn't feel right just doing ep 1 w/o 2; being that Veggie doesn't make
his grand appearance till the second episode and it feels so odd without him around. V.2 is funny, his poor little cloned
brain is so confused on everything except Ka-ka-rrot-to :)
To Miyanon: Sorry you haven't seen the eps yet. DBA's all the way up to the late 50's in terms of episodes by now, I'm not
sure if they'll re-run the series again, but here's the url for the scripts! www dbzoa net features/scripts_gt . html
For Ojichan..that's what I've been hearing Pan call Goku throughout the gt & late z episodes. Maybe the word can me both.
Obassan I found by looking it up in the dictionary, seeing as it'd feel odd if I only had one sub title for one grandparent
& the dub one for the other. I dunno if Chi-Chi'll show up again (she doesn't in any of the other eps but I could put her
in a cameo on the communication screen) but if she does I will use Obaasan instead. *nods* Originally I got a bunch of votes
before even making it an actual voting thing, but that's oh-kay! Actually I could post the results for it at the end of the
fic. The tailsnluv one I have quite a few ideas for. Poor Veggie gets seriously freaked out in that one once he notices
what's going on between the tails.
To Girl-with-too-many-aliasses: Ooh, spanish! I can understand some spanish. I've only seen a clip of dbz in that language
though. I've seen a couple italian gt episodes; in that dub they actually give Goggie his own individual voice instead of
having Goku & Veggie talk in-sync with each other. It's also what gave me the idea to let Jitto & Goggie have their own
unique single voices! I had to squeeze Ji-chan in there somewhere; he or Goggie always manage to sneak a cameo somewhere in
my fics lately.
To FrEaKyMe: Hai! I've seen Yu Yu Hakusho on adultswim and then on Toonami, but it got to be at an bad time of the day to
see it at so I missed a bunch, but I've actually gotten to like the manga version of it in Shounen Jump a lot more. The anime
cut a lot of stuff from the manga out. Youko Kurama seems pretty strong, he actually looks a little bit like Inuyasha in that
form. (I saw some of the Tournament episodes). I can't wait for Budokai 2!! You get to play as Ji-chan and Goggie! AND you
can use fusion to fuse characters that haven't even fused in the show! There's also a dragonball hunt on the side where you
choose a team of 5 players and race another team to see who can get to the dragonballs first. I have my team all made up too!
Team Leader: Goku, Team: Goku, Veggie, Majin Veggie, Goggie, & Jitto. Majin Veggie is his own seperate character. I loved the
Majin Veggie VS Goku fight, I can't wait to see it in 3-D!!! Budokai 1 is fun, but this next one'll be great!!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) (to Chu) You seem hyped up about this.
Chuquita: Well of course! Besides I've near-finished Budokai 1. All I have left is unlocking Saiyaman and that Hercule
mini-game; which is pretty funny. (grins) He makes fun of your hair.
Vegeta: WHAT!! (snorts) At least I don't have a giant balding afro and poorly kept beard like he does!
Goku: Yeah! Veggie's hair is pretty and nice and thick and soft! (messes Veggie's hair with his hand)
Vegeta: (twitches) WILL YOU CUT THAT OUT! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF I MESSED UP YOUR HAIR!
Goku: (holds out hairbrush) (w/big wide eyes) (chirps) BRUSH ME, VEGGIE!
Vegeta: (falls over) No way!!
Goku: (pouts) Aww...
Vegeta: (looks up at Chu's Budokai 2 team) (flatly) You made Kakarrotto the team leader just to spite me, didn't you Chu?
Chuquita: (grinning) Aw come on Veggie! I bet he's a great leader. (snickers)
Goku: (holds up a little plastic sword) Follow the leader, little Veggie! (happily) I get to order TWO little Veggies
a-round! It will be fun!
Vegeta: (pales) It will be a nightmare.
Chuquita: Whatever it is we'll probably have to wait til December or sometime around there for it to come out.
Goku: (frowns) Oh. But I want to order little Veggies around NOW!
Vegeta: (smirks) Well that's too darn bad! Isn't it, Kakay?
Goku: (big sparkily eyes) Can I order THIS little Veggie a-round NOW? (points to Veggie)
Vegeta: (panic) Ah, no, no thanks! (nervous laugh as he backs his chair away) Hahahahahahaha!
Chuquita: (waves) Until Part 3, everybody! See you later!
Goku: (glomps onto Veggie) (waving cheerfully) BYEBYE!!
Vegeta: *twitch*
