Quote of the Week: -from Shounen Jump #10's Dbz section's "Kanji of the Month"
ôji: The kanji for "prince" is made up of--what else?--the characters for "king" and "child!" Pretty easy, huh? Hmmm...
How would Vegeta react if you called him a king-child? We'll find out from your smouldering corpse after you try it.
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Ironically, one of the reviewers learned what the kanji for ouji meant and told me in a review before I even got
my Shounen Jump. I was actually surprised to see Veggie's title made "kanji of the month". Sadly though he wasn't even in
this issue, even though he made the cover.
Goku: (hugs Veggie) AND got his lil Veggie-picture on the lil square on the side of the book!
Vegeta: (smirks) That's because I was chosen the "favorite"!
Chuquita: I gotta admit I've seen that front cover picture of you before and it's not the most flattering one by far that
Toriyama's drawn of you, Veggie. (looks at cover) I like you better w/the dark brown hair & eyes anyway.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) So what if, (takes book) my forehead is HUGE in this one. I'm still on it, AND I'm the favorite!
Chuquita: (to audiance) A while ago Shounen Jump had a contest for "favorite dbz character" and Veggie won.
Goku: (chirps) I came in 2nd! And then Gohan, Trunks, Piccolo, Kuririn, Bulma, Goten, Yamcha, and Buu!
Vegeta: (even larger sweatdrop) YAMCHA beat BUU in a popularity contest?!
Goku: (checks book) By 4 votes.
Vegeta: (still sweatdropping) Kakarrotto, YAMCHA--
--inserted Yamcha clip--: (Yamcha sitting at at a table with Bulma, Kuririn, and Puar) (singing) Cat loves food, yeah yeah
yeah!
Vegeta: --beating BUU--
--inserted Majin Buu clip: MUWAHAHAHAHA!! (Kid Buu blowing up the Earth)
Vegeta: --(slowly) in a POPULARITY contest.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Geez Veggie, you could've used a slightly better clip for Yamcha ^_^;;
Goku: Heeheehee, I thought it was funny! (big happy grin)
Vegeta: (el mysteriouso) Yes, well, you know, we oujis work in mysterious ways...
Chuquita: Uh-huh. Well, here are the actual vote numbers Shounen Jump got for everybody.
The Winner: Veggie with 5,503 votes
2nd Place: Goku with 5,225 votes
3rd Place: Gohan with 4,510 votes
4th Place: Trunks (can be either Mirai or Chibi) with 3,681 votes
5th Place: Piccolo with 2,162 votes
6th Place: Kuririn with 765 votes
7th Place: Bulma (from here down no one has a picture by their name) with 682 votes
8th Place: Goten with 678 votes
9th Place: Yamcha with 394 votes
10th Place: Buu (any form) with 390 votes
Vegeta: (beaming) And Onna with a negative 2!
Chuquita: How you have a -2 votes??
Vegeta: It's possible.
Goku: (whistling) For a plain simple pumpkin to become a golden carriage!
Vegeta: (grabs Son by the collar) (death-glaring him) I swear if you sing the next line to that Cinderella song I shall
pummel you into oblivion!!
Goku: (stares at him blankly for a minute, then bursts into giggles) Aww Veggie! You threaten but you never carry it out!
Besides Veggie luvs me! He wouldn't kill me!
Vegeta: (stubbornly pouts and sits back in his chair) Curse you, Kakarrotto.
Goku: Heeheehee.
Chuquita: (grinning) The next line IS pretty funny!
Vegeta: (points at her from his seat) AND YOU TOO! SILENCE! (plops back down)
Goku: Wow, Veggie really doesn't like that song, does he?
Chuquita: He's just a lil bit paranoid, but that's one of the many reasons why we love him.
Goku: (leans infront of Veggie) Veggie's also VERY CUTE to boot!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) ...
Chuquita: (whips out calculator) Don't be sore Veggie! You beat Son-kun by 278 points.
Vegeta: (breaks into a big grin)
Chuquita: Ironically the title of the article is "Vegeta is Victorious! (for once)"
Vegeta: (dryly) It's amazing how you all have such faith in me.
Goku: (smiling) Aww Veggie, we luv ya no matter HOW many times I beat ya!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) You're not making it any better.
Chuquita: There's also 3 Veggie Toriyama-drawn pictures. One from the saiyajin, Freeza, and Buu eps, and your widow's peak
gets considerably wider over the years, and you're drawn more edgy-lined. (grins) I like the Buu-Veggie drawing best!
Goku: (eyes widen) OH! I remember Buu-saga Veggie! That was back when me 'n little Veggie used the magical portara earrings
to make Ji-chan and shared a body and did lots of fun stuff together and--
Vegeta: (slaps his hand over Goku's mouth) (twitches) That's enough, Kakarrotto!
Chuquita: Anyway, we have a great chapter planned for you today! We're actually calling it a special edition. Or a what-if.
It's what-would-happen-IF-Veggie-had-been-chosen-to-pretend-to-be-Lenu-in-part-3-instead-of-Goku.
Goku: (happily) We get to give little Veggie a make-over!! Me-n-Panny-n-Lenu! (claps his hands together) It will be FUN!
Vegeta: (twitch-twitch)
Chuquita: Since it's only a mini-chapter parody of, the parody of episode 7 (slight confusion) it'll only last about 4 or 5
pages due to the fact that we're starting at where Pan gets her "brilliant" idea to where Zunama comes to pickup his 'bride'.
Vegeta: (twitch-twitch-twitch)
Goku: Haha, Veggie looks like one of those things you buy at a beauty parlor that you put batteries in and it shakes and
you put it against your skin and it massages it for you!
Vegeta: (shakes his head, suddenly baffled) Wha--?
Goku: Heehee! (glomps onto Veggie) Welcome to Part 5, everybody!
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!
Goku: (grins) Makeover time for Veh-gee~! (tugs on Veggie's cheek)
Vegeta: (extra-twitch) ....CUT THAT OUT!! (teleports out of Son's grasp to behind him) I REFUSE to wear women's clothing and
makeup!!
Chuquita: (happily) Too bad!
Vegeta: (twitch)
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" 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, " We'll have to hem it then. "
" WAHH! " Vegeta fell over, twitching, " NOW WAIT JUST A MINUTE HERE! WHADDA YOU MEAN "HEM" IT! I'M NOT GOING TO BE
A PAWN IN YOUR AMATURE VERSION OF MY TYPE OF EVIL SCHEMES! "
" Well who ELSE do you suggest pretend to be Lenu in your place? Trunks? " Pan motioned over the the lavender-hairred
demi-saiyajin. Trunks wildly shook his arms back and forth in a "no"-like manner.
" I'm NOT letting you crossdress my son, Kaka-girl. " Vegeta glared at her.
" Ojichan? " she pointed to Goku, who was in the middle of eating an armful of muffins. The larger saiyajin tilted
his head in confusion at Pan's pointed finger.
" ERRR!! " Vegeta zipped over infront of Goku, " THERE'S NO WAY IN HEAVEN OR H.F.I.L. I'M HANDING OVER MY PEASANT
TO THAT GIANT FREAK OF NATURE!! "
" Aww Veggie! You ~*do*~ CARE! " Goku clasped his hands together, touched, " I luv u *TOO*, little Veggie! "
The smaller saiyajin's face turned bright red, " Uh...right..."luv"... "
" Yeah! Veggie-luvins! "
" ACK! " Vegeta froze and instantly spun around to face Goku, " DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT YOU BIG BAKA! IT'S AN
INCORRECT AND UNINTENTIONAL INNUENDO!!! " his bright red face glowed even brighter.
" ...huh? " Goku tilted his head again, only in the opposite direction. Vegeta groaned and slapped himself on the
forehead muttering to himself in saiyago.
" Weren't you listening to ANYTHING I said just a second ago, Ojichan! " Pan said, slightly annoyed. She burst into a
grin, " We're going to have Veggie-san pretend to be Lenu! And temporarily hem the dress so it doesn't looks so big on
Veggie-san. "
Goku's eyes widened, " You mean I get to draw on Veggie's face with the shiny smushy crayons Bulma buys all the
time! " he grinned excitedly.
" Yup! "
" WHEEE! " Goku tossed the remainder of the muffins in the air, " This is gonna be FUN! "
" Uh, K--Kakarrotto, maybe we should discuss this first-- " Vegeta laughed nervously.
" What is there to discuss! " Pan beamed leaning her shoulder on Vegeta's, " Ojichan! " she shouted to him, " Go get
us a stool for Veggie-san to stand on! "
" A stool? " Vegeta looked over at her questioningly.
" To HEM! I've seen Obaassan use them all the time! How hard could it be! "
Vegeta cocked an eyebrow at her, " No offense, Kaka-girl, but you hardly look like the "sewing" type. "
" But this isn't "sewing", it's "hemming"! And besides if I screw up Lenu can help me! " Pan said, pointing to the
girl.
" I'll be glad to assist you, Pan-chan. " Lenu nodded.
" I got the stool! " Goku cheered, dashing back into the room.
" This is all happening way too fast. " Vegeta gulped, " DOESN'T MY SAY IN THIS MATTER MATTER ANYTHING TO YOU BAKAS!"
" No. " Pan simply replied.
Vegeta snorted and started walking towards the door, " Well I don't CARE what you say! I am the GREAT AND POWERFUL
SAIYAJIN NO OUJI and the GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI shall NOT be manipulated by the likes of YOU! " he snapped, then
let out a yelp as he suddenly bumped into something big warm and squishy. Vegeta looked up to see Goku smiling down at him
contently.
Vegeta opened his mouth only to yelp as the larger saiyajin grabbed him and hugged him tightly against himself while
rubbing the ouji's back with his left hand.
" Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Veh~~~~gee. "
The smaller saiyajin began to glow bright red again. A goofy smile appearing on his now-dazed face, " Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
Kha~~kyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy........ " the ouji nearly melted in the comfortable clutch.
" CURSE YOU, KAKARROTTO!!! " Vegeta shook his fist in the air as he stood on the stool while Pan and Lenu hemmed
Lenu's gown to fit the ouji.
" Heeheehee, I luv u too Veggie! " Goku chirped, watching from a nearby chair. Trunks was finding it hard not to
laugh at Vegeta's predicament.
" Oh shuddup, Trunks! " Vegeta snapped at the demi-saiyajin. Trunks paused for a moment, then continued to snicker.
" How's it coming, Lenu? " Pan asked her.
" Well, normally I would cut the excess off, but I want to save it because I'd rather not ruin my own dress. So, I'm
just folding it under. " she explained.
Vegeta looked down at her, " Won't that just make it more puffy and thus more tempting for Kakarrotto to desire to
hug? "
Lenu looked over at the grinning Goku, " Well, I don't really know Goku-san that well, so-- "
" Curse you doublefold, Kakarrotto! " Vegeta snorted at him.
Goku giggled.
Pan looked the dress over while Lenu folded another side of it under, " Hmm, oh this won't do! " she said, pouting
at Vegeta.
" EXACTLY! And that is why YOU should wear the dress instead! " Vegeta grinned at her.
" That's not what I meant at all! " Pan said as-a-matter-of-factly, " Besides this is my plan and I choose the part
of the person who's armed with the GIANT SCISSORS TO CHOP ZUNAMA'S ANTENNAE OFF! " she pulled her giant scissors out of
nowhere and held them proudly over her head, " HAHA! "
" You are insane. " Vegeta muttered.
" Ya know, genius is often mistaken for insanity. " Pan stated, smirking.
" It is indeed. " Vegeta nodded with a similar expression on his face.
" Now where was I? " Pan thought outloud, " OH YEAH! OJICHAN! "
" Yes Panny! "
Pan blinked and turned around to see Goku standing right behind her. Pan sweatdropped, " Wow you're fast. "
" That I am! " Goku chirped.
" Ojichan, I need you to go to the bathroom and bring back a box of tissues for me. "
" ...? " Goku furrowed his brows as if two brain-cells had just misfired at one another, taking each other out in the
process, " ..wha? "
" Baka...SHE MEANS GO BRING THE TISSUEBOX FROM THE BATHROOM HERE! NOT TAKE A DUMP AND THEN SEARCH FOR TISSUES!! "
Vegeta snapped at him.
" OH! " Goku grinned, enlightened. The large saiyajin teleported from the room.
" So? What do you need tissues for anyway? " Vegeta looked down at Pan.
Pan grinned up at him with a mischievous grin to rival chibi Trunks.
" WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! NO WAY!!! " Vegeta screamed as he continued to hop about the room, still wearing Lenu's
now-hemmed dress. Pan was chasing him with a box of tissues while Goku consumed more muffins out in the hallway. Trunks was
busy just sitting around and taking in the amusement of it all.
" Oh come on Veggie-san! You have too! "
" I'M NOT LETTING YOU STUFF THIS STUPID DRESS SO IT LOOKS LIKE I'M---ENDOWED!!! " Vegeta sputtered with anger.
Trunks chuckled, " "endowed". "
" YOU BE QUIET TRUNKS OR I SWEAR I WILL LET HER USE YOU AS A DECOY INSTEAD!! "
" Aw, you're pride couldn't take it if you did! " Trunks grinned. Vegeta let out a snort.
" Veggie-san! " Pan took this moment to push him against the wall, " I have to make it look at least like you have
SOME sort of, cleavage, like Lenu-san! You're supposed to be pretending to be a girl! "
" I refuse to let you do such a thing with Kakarrotto in the room. " Vegeta folded his arms stubbornly.
" "Kakarrotto" isn't in the room. " Pan stated.
Vegeta blinked and looked around the Goku-less room, " Oh. Fine then, just make it quick! " he grabbed some tissues
and jammed them inside the dress.
" Please be careful, Vegeta-san, you'll ruin my dress. " Lenu said, concerned. Vegeta sent a death-glare at her.
" THAT'S NOT THE ONLY THING THAT'S BEING RUINED AROUND HERE! THE ONLY "EVIL" REPUTATION I HAVE LEFT IS HERE IN OUTER
SPACE AND I'M RISKING THAT ON THIS STUPID PLANET BECAUSE OF, BECAUSE, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY!!! " he threw his arms in the
air.
" So we can get their dragonball in return and bring it and eventually the rest of them back to Earth then use them
to wish Goku-san back to normal. " Trunks explained.
" ... " Vegeta blinked, " Oh yeah. " he walked over to the mirror and looked at himself, " I guess I don't look THAT
bad. " he said with a look of undecidedness.
" Aww, you'll look much better once we get the wig and makeup on, Veggie-san! " Pan grinned, putting her hands on his
shoulders. Vegeta froze in place.
" WHAT?! " the ouji fell over, " NO WAY!! " he walked over to the door and flung if open, " YOU CAN PRETEND TO BE
LENU FOR ALL I CARE! " he yelled at Pan, then turned to leave the room only to trip over a lump on the floor and fly
headfirst into the wall. Vegeta twitched as he slid down onto the floor, " Oww. "
" Hi Veggie! " Goku chirped as he lay on the floor balancing a muffin on his nose. Goku jerked his head up slightly
enough for the muffin to fly into the air and into his mouth. Goku chewed it happily and swallowed, " How ya doin! "
" How do I LOOK like I'm doing! " the ouji said flatly. Goku looked at the smaller saiyajin and gasped.
" Oh my goodness! " the larger saiyajin looked very confused, " How? Wha? Huh? "
Vegeta sweatdropped.
" So? Does this mean Veggie's a girl now? " Goku scratched his head in confusion.
" WAH! " Vegeta fell over, " NO I'M NOT A GIRL NOW! These are TISSUES! " he pulled several tissues out.
" Oh. Good! " Goku smiled, " Cuz, cuz that would've made things a LOT more confusing! " he said, then thought for a
moment, " Since Veggie's dressing up as a girl does that mean I get to call Veggie, Princess Geta, now? "
" NO! " Vegeta exclaimed, " I am still legitimately MALE so there is no reason to use the FEMALE form of my name! "
he snorted.
" Ojichan! Come inside! We're gonna do Veggie-san's makeup now! " Pan chirped from inside.
Goku's eyes widened, " WHEEE!!! " he squealed, running into the room. He paused and poked his head out the doorway to
where a terrified-looking Vegeta was standing, " Can I call you Princess Geta AFTER we put on the makeup? "
" NO!!! "
Goku pouted, going back inside, " Aww... "
" ... " Vegeta snorted, standing in place out in the hallway with a stubborn look on his face.
Goku poked his head out again and grinned teasingly, " Come on Princess Geta! No need to be moody! "
A vein bulged on Vegeta's forehead, " DON'T CALL ME THAT!!! "
" OoooH. OOOooOH. OOOOOOOoooHH! " Goku said as he opened and closed the lipstick container he was holding in his
hands, " I luv these pretty mushy crayons. " he said happily, moving the arm holding the lipstick about in the air as if it
were a rocketship, " BEEEEoooooO BEBEBEBEBEEOooooooo WOOSH! "
" That's lipstick Ojichan! Not a crayon! " Pan sweatdropped, taking the object away from him, " We're going to draw
on Veggie-san's lips with one of these. "
" I get to draw pretty pictures on my little Veggie's face? " Goku's eyes widened, " THAT IS SO COOL!!! "
" I want to go home now. " Vegeta groaned, ki-cuffed into the chair to keep from escaping. Goku's attempt at the
ouji's ki-handcuff attack wasn't nearly as astounding as Vegeta's version, and at best it looked like a basic type of
ki-ring, but it was definately strong enough to hold the ouji down into the chair.
" Heeheehee! " a little giggle came from beside Vegeta. The ouji looked over to see Goku drawing a smiley face on
Vegeta's cheek with another lipstick.
" CUT THAT OUT!!! " Vegeta snapped. The larger saiyajin's eyes watered. Vegeta's shoulders slumped, " Fine. I'm sorry
I yelled and ruined your 'fun', Kakarrotto. "
" YEEE! " Goku squealed and glomped onto the ouji, " I luv u Veggie! And I am SOOOOOO sorry I had to ki-cuff you into
the chair. "
" If you're sorry you'll uncuff me and I can take you someplace nice where we can snack and rest together. " Vegeta
said sneakily.
" Yummy snacks and nap-time with *VEGGIE*? OH-KAY! " Goku chirped, preparing to release the ki-cuffs.
" OJICHAN!!! HE'S JUST TRYING TO TRICK YOU! " Pan exclaimed. Goku looked over at Vegeta and frowned.
" No he isn't. "
" YES HE IS! "
Goku looked down at the sad little ouji and sniffled, " Nuh-uh. Veggie is sad. He does not want to be in the chair.
I want to help Veggie get out of the chair so we can go someplace nice and warm and where I can hug Veggie for long periods
of time so he can feel better because what you are doing to him is making him sad. And it makes me sad when Veggie is sad. "
" ...what? " Pan cocked an eyebrow. Lenu wiped Goku's smiley-face doodle off of Vegeta's cheek.
" Ah, Goku-san, how about you put a little bit of blush on Vegeta-san's face, hm? " Lenu offered, trying to calm him
down.
" YAY! " Goku cheered, grabbing the rouge puff from her. Lenu yelped and grabbed onto Goku's wrist.
" Gently now! And only a LITTLE BIT! " she said as she tried to move his hand for him, " There. That's good, now the
other cheek. Good. "
Vegeta twitched.
Goku looked at what he had done critiquely, or rather, what Lenu had done. The large saiyajin bent down to Vegeta's
height, then grinned and smushed the puffball onto the ouji's face and pulled it away fast enough for blush powder to hover
and fall throughout that spot in the room, " Heeheehee! "
" KAKA...RROT...TOOOOOO... " Vegeta shook his handcuffed hands in anger.
" Uh, Ojichan? Maybe you should go. " Pan laughed nervously, pushing Goku out of the room.
" Buh Panny? I wanna make my little Veggie look all pretty WITH you! " Goku pouted.
" Well you're not helping! " she put it bluntly, " If you wanna see what Veggie-san'll look like when we're done,then
you can come back when we're done! " Pan said, backing up away from him and slamming the door shut. Goku stood there, his
eyes watering.
" BUT I DON'T WANNA BE WITHOUT MY LITTLE VEGGIE!!! " he wailed, then looked down, " Ooh! *sniffle*,...MUFFIN!! "
" Wow, this didn't turn out half-bad at all. " Pan said, proud of herself.
" His compact body turned out to be a help rather than a hinderance after all. " Lenu smiled.
" I LOOK HORROSIOUS! " Vegeta screamed at himself in the mirror.
" No, no you don't! You're very pretty. " Pan comfortingly patted the ouji on the shoulder.
" You're only saying that so I don't back out of your stupid chibi-Onna-plan! " Vegeta snapped, " ...this stuff
washes off, right? "
" Of course it does. " Lenu laughed lightly.
" Maybe we should go check on Goku-san. He's been out there sobbing, and, from the overpowering smell of it, eating
muffins since you kicked him out of the room. " Trunks motioned to the door.
" ACK! NO! " Vegeta teleported infront of the door, " I can't face Kakarrotto like this! The overwhelming confusion
is likely to cause his entire braincell cavity to burst into flames!!! "
" What are you TALKING about?! Just open the door! " Pan said.
Vegeta took a deep breath, then creaked the door open just enough to see Goku asleep with muffin wrappers all over
the place. A lone uneaten muffin lay upright on the large saiyajin's chest, rising and falling with each breath, " Umm,
Kakarrotto? "
" Veggie? " Goku lifted his head up to glance at the ouji, then let out yelp and hopped to his feet, " Oh WOW Veggie
you look so kawaii! If Veggie was really a girl I would marry Veggie right on the SPOT!..and if I wasn't already married to
Chi-chan and your eyes look so *pretty*! "
" Uh....r---right... " Vegeta squeaked out, bright red in the face, " "marry"...."pretty"....hai.... "
" Veggie looks even cuter than Chi-chan does now! " Goku chirped, " You make a kawaii girl, Veggie! " Goku grinned,
motioning to the smaller saiyajin's pink eyeshadow, ruby red lipstick, blush, mascara, wig and extra-puffy-thanks-to-hemming
outfit, " Like a little dolly! "
" "Dolly".... "
" Ojichan! You're up! " Pan said happily, coming out into the hallway.
" Goodmorning Panny! " Goku chirped.
" Ah! There you are! " a voice said from behind them. The trio turned around to face a heavyset woman holding a
bottle of liquid, " 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 so much! " Pan said, taking it from her.
" Does it taste any good? " Goku said, sniffing the bottle.
" I dunno, try it. " Pan held it up to him.
" AHHH!! " a voice screamed from below Goku as the bottle quickly disappeared from his hands. Goku looked down to see
the terrified culprit.
" Veh-GEE! I was gonna taste that! "
" YOU'RE NOT GETTING DRUNK WITH ME IN THIS GETTUP! " Vegeta screamed angrily, " You want some you can have it after
our work is done here. Besides I may need you sober later on to count as backup for me. "
" Oh-kay Veggie. " Goku sighed, " I still think you look pretty. " he said, playing with Lenu's hat.
" *ulp*! " Vegeta's face turned bright red again, " T--thank you Kakarrotto. "
" Veggie-san! Cut that out! You can't go glowing bright red when you go out to meet Zunama! He'll be suspicous of you
INSTANTLY! " Pan exclaimed, " You have to remember how to act like Lenu, oh-kay! "
" Hm? S--sure. " Vegeta replied, still bright red from Goku's comment.
" IT'S ZUNAMA! HE'S COMING!! " Doma's voice shouted from the other room. Pan gasped.
" OJICHAN! VEGGIE-SAN HURRY! HE'S COMING! " she ran back into the room.
Vegeta paled and backed up, " There's no way I can do this. It's to humilating! " he twitched with embarassment. Goku
frowned and hugged the little ouji tightly.
" Aww, do not worry, Princess Geta. I believe in you. I also believe you are ~beautiful~. "
" Ah.... " Vegeta felt the blood rush to his face again. He looked up to see the larger saiyajin had an usually
goofier, dazed dreamy smile on his face as he tilted his head to the left; giggling shyly.
Vegeta instantly sweatdropped, " Oh God.... " he carefully slipped out of Goku's grasp and ran back into the room
with Pan and the others.
" There you are! What were you doing out there! " Pan complained.
" You don't wanna know. " Vegeta muttered, his eyes bugging out of his head.
" LENU-CHAN! LENU-CHAN COME OUT TO GREET ME OR I'LL CAUSE EARTHQUAKES! " Zunama announced as he walked into the
village.
" KUSO!! How I HATE this plan! " Vegeta grumbled frustratingly only to feel a sudden tap on his shoulder. He turned
around just intime to have Goku put a flower in the ouji's hair. Vegeta froze.
" It is a rose for goodluck, little Veggie! " Goku smiled contently, giving Vegeta another hug.
" LENU-CHAN!!!!!! " Zunama's voice erupted in anger from outside, " DO YOU WANT ME TO MAKE THE VOLCANO ERUPT! "
Vegeta took a deep breath and walked out of the room onto the patio and face-faulted at the giant slimy green
creature, ::DisGUSTing!::
" Lenu-chan, there you are my sweet! " Zunama smiled, bending down slightly. The ouji did his best to hold the
bouquet of flowers Lenu had given him to use infront of his face.
" Uh, hi. " Vegeta sweatdropped.
Zunama blinked, " Lenu, your voice sounds so different from yesterday. "
" Yes well that's probably just due to all that waxy buildup in your ears. " Vegeta said, half-mockingly.
" Hm, maybe I SHOULD floss more. " the creature pondered. Vegeta sweatdropped again, " How very kind of you,
Lenu-chan! "
" Uh-huh. " Vegeta rolled his eyes.
" Lenu-chan? Come closer, my dear. Let me see your tiny, adorable face. " Zunama smiled.
Vegeta nearly retched in disgust, " UGH, GOD! " he looked back to where the others were. Lenu looking hopeful, Pan
giving him an eager two thumbs up, Trunks snickering, and Goku still staring at the ouji with that unusual dazed, dreamly
look on his face. Vegeta turned back to Zunama and twitched, " How do I get myself INTO these messes!!"

THE END (for real this time, I think)
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Somehow this ending situation seems just as painful as me and Kakarrotto being drunk.
Chuquita: Aw, come on Veggie! I'm sure you did look "very pretty"! (snickers)
Goku: (grins) And bea-yuuuuuuuuu-ti-ful!
Vegeta: (flatly) Uh-huh.
Chuquita: Well, the chapter lasted a little longer than I thought it would, but that's oh-kay!
Goku: (giggling) Poor little Veggie.
Chuquita: The parody's parody actually went a little less by the script than chapter 2's version, but that's oh-kay. I was
actually getting tired of following the scripts exactly and I'm so happy I was able to be more creative with the
Veggieversion. As for the next fic, I've got the next three in order already: tailsfallinluv, Kakahawaiiexodancesscareveggie
(that's the one where Chi-Chi and Veggie get on The Price is Right), and chiwisheskakhuman.
Goku: (chirps) A lot of people voted for the tails one! (Son's tail wafts in the air)
Chuquita: Hai, the other two I want to do after the tails one because following tails those two each have the majority of
ideas worked out for their stories. I have about 3/4th of the Kakahawaii-etc worked out and about half of chiwisheskakhuman.
Goku: (happily) Saiyajin tails have a mind of their own, you know!
Goku's Tail: (waves cheerfully to the audiance)
Chuquita: The tails had a few mini-plotlines in some of the Corners, (& one in one of the Piccolo-one-shots) but this is the
first time they had an actual part in a fic!
Goku's tail: (beams) :D
Vegeta: (suspiciously wraps his own tail around his waist and holds onto it tight)
Goku's tail: (tilts its tip at Veggie, confused)
Goku: (smiles at tail) Oh don't worry about Veggie, he just gets a lil worried sometimes!
Vegeta: A "LITTLE WORRIED"?!
Chuquita: And now for the reviewer replies!
To Callimogua: Glad you liked it! Hope you liked the what-if chapter!
To Nekoni: Heh, I won't be writing a yaoi ^_^;; sorry. I wish I knew what made Veggie so afraid of giant worms. But then
again there's something funny about Veggie's randomly-picked phobia Toriyama gave him. Trunks had to lock them up so they
wouldn't embarass themselves or do things that they wouldn't do if they were sober (break parts of the ship, get seriously
injured) that would hinder the journey to get the db's. The phone parts were fun to write. I think I will eventually write
a one-shot about it. I agree with the thing about Goten. Trunks feels more leadershipish when he has a sidekick around. AND
it gives him a scapegoat. He became gt-ish because of all that business stuff that Bulma groomed him into becoming the next
Capsule Corp president and since Goten no longer had anyone to talk to he somehow got into the addiction to be talking to
people on a cellphone.
To Girl-with-too-many-aliasses: I've kinda wondered how Son-kun & Veggie would act like drunk *grins* I'll look at the
artwork right after I upload the chapter :)
To Tomoyo chan1: There's actually a couple of different things that could happen to Goku and Veggie drunk together. Do not
worry though! I don't write yaoi's! Wow, so many people liked Goten's cellphone addiction. I think I will add a one-shot of
that to my future fics list! :D
To Goddess Shimi: Thank you so much!! Veggie would probably do some funny stuff drunk, then forget what he did by the time
he was sober again :D Goten's cellphone addiction is pretty evident in early & middle gt until they get into the big battles
and there's no time for it. Veggie's Cooking H.F.I.L is hilarious! It would've been great if they had given Veggie a sort of
cooking/music-video for that song. He has such a crazy laugh! I should check my copy of the song again to see who the backup
singer characters are. Ooh! Where did you find "Jan Janka My Way!"? I wish I knew what the lyrics to that song are translated
into english. Tailsinluv is definately next. All I have to do now is think up a title for it ^_^
To RyukoVulpix: LOL! It was very ironic. I think they chose Ouji as their "word of the month" because of Veggie winning
the popularity contest. I heard that they delayed gt from Sept to Oct because Toonami is planning on airing the episodes
from the beginning instead of starting where Funi started dubbing (ep 16 or 17). I can't wait to see them! I do remember
Son-kun drinking beer at one point (the dub said it was a sports drink ^_^;;) during the Cell eps, but I doubt he drinks
Regularly cuz the whole group was at Bulma's eating and drinking. They also changed the beer to a different color in that
"You're late Son Goku, everyone's partying!" episodes when he was drinking it. Hope you liked the alternate ending!
Vegeta: (sweatdops) You don't have a title yet?!
Chuquita: (chirps) Nope!
Vegeta: (sighs)
Chuquita: Oh I'll figure it out. Don't worry Vedge! Actually the hardest part is the summary for me.
Goku: (grins) Luckily Chu-sama has written the summary for all the current future fics ahead of time! (holds up a paper)
Vegeta: (twitches) Perfect.
Chuquita: Aw, you're just worrying over nothing Veggie! Your tail'll be fine! Besides! They're appendages, they don't really,
sorta have genders, do they? (starting to get confused)
Vegeta: (even deeper confusion hits him) Uh.....I, don't think so.
Chuquita: Well we'll just have to figure that out along with the title! (smiles)
Goku: It will be FUN, little Veggie! (pats Veggie on the shoulder)
Goku's tail: (pats Veggie on the other shoulder)
Vegeta: (paling at Goku's tail) ....uh-huh.
Goku's tail: (starts rubbing up against Veggie's cheek)
Vegeta: Ehhh.... *twitch*twitch*
Goku: Awww, it likes u, little Veggie! It wants to be *friends*!
Vegeta: (nervously trying to pull affectionate tail off of him) "Friends", right.
Chuquita: Well, I guess it's time to wrap up Part 5. This is the last written-during-summertime fic I'm uploading.
(pouts) School starts Tuesday!
Goku: (sad) Aww.
Chuquita: I hope college isn't hard. (to audiance) I'm going to a community one the first 2 years then transfer somewhere
else that's yet-to-be-determined; so I'll still be here. AND I'm only in school from 9 to 12 or 9 to 2 depending on the day.
And I'm off Wednesdays! *cheers*.
Vegeta: At least the last part's a bit of good news.
Chuquita: Doesn't mean it'll effect the pace of my fics though. I'll actually be at school about 1 to 3 hours LESS than I was
last year!
Goku: HOORAY!
Chuquita: (happily) See you in the next fic everybody! (waves) Probably next Monday!
Goku: B'bye!! Say B'bye, tail! (waves his tail) Say B'bye Veggie! (waves Veggie's arm)
Vegeta: Will you cut that out! (tries to pull arm away, fails) *sweatdrop* (waves his hand) Goodbye.
