After getting his head hit on the side of a mountain (an accident!) Vegeta reverts to a more childlike state, leaving a very depressed Goku to take care of him.

Thank you oh so much for the reviews! When I went to the bed (nearly burst into tears because I realized that I forgot to set the timer to record my show :sob sob:) I started thinking about my poor little "Thunk!" fic and thought, "man, it sucks. It's boring. Waah! I'm gonna have to tear it down!" It just didn't seem like fun without the candy store scene to me for some reason, but now I'm glad I left it up. Anywho, here's the deleted scene… I worked on it during my break times at work today to add to the fic. It goes right after Vegeta falls asleep in Goku's arms after Goku says that he wants the old Vegeta back and right before the café scene. Kudos.

Vegeta, now hanging on to Goku's arm, was half-walking, half-dragging Goku down the street, "keh"-ing eagerly at everything he saw.
A bird. "Keh!"
A bike. "Keh!"
A blue balloon. Double "keh!"
A wadded up piece of paper. "Keh!"
A sticky wad of pink "abc" bubblegum. "Keh! Keh? Keh! Keh! Keh!"
Vegeta had curiously poked at the wet pink glob, getting it stuck on his finger and was now wildly waving his arm around, trying to shake off the pink blob, but it wouldn't budge. Goku sighed and, grabbing a napkin, carefully peeled it off – "Wow, it's like cement, little V-chan!" – and walked him to a bathroom to get his hand cleaned.
As the two walked out of the restroom, both Vegeta and Goku's hands now squeaky-clean and lemony-fresh, Vegeta caught a whiff of something that smelled yummy.
"Keh?" Vegeta darted down the sidewalk, Goku chasing after him, and came to a halt outside of a store. Goku, who had caught up, had to stop quickly and found himself wobbling on his tiptoes leaning over Vegeta, arms wind-milling crazily through the air in an effort not to fall on the smaller saiyan.
Vegeta stuck a finger in his mouth and looking up cutely, "keh-ed" at Goku while alternately tugging on Goku's shirt and pointing at the store. Goku tiredly looked up.
'A candy store, huh? Maybe it's not such a bad—huh, where'd V-chan go?' Goku whipped his head around, only to find Vegeta had already pushed open the door and was looking at the assortment of gumdrops displayed near the window. Goku, sweatdropping, quickly hopped inside.
"V-chan! Don't do that! You almost gave me a heart attack! What if someone –" Goku broke off. He had almost said, "what if someone kidnapped you?" but that was silly – Vegeta's a grown man and who'd want to kidnap a grown man. Though, though Goku, he's short enough and young looking enough to almost pass as a kid. He recalled a near-sighted little old lady who, thinking Vegeta was a cute little boy, had pinched his cheeks and nose red, ruffled up his non-ruffable hair (don't ask how she managed it – quoth the Tootsie Pop, "the world may never know") and then gave him a box of lemonheads and a red lolly.
"Ah, right, should keep a close eye on him." Goku carefully walked a few steps behind Vegeta who, after sniffing at chocolates, sweet meats*, pull taffies, jelly beans and candy rocks and buttons, had come to a halt in front of a large display case of lollipops. Vegeta was practically drooling now.
"Oh, you want a lolly, V-vchan?" Goku asked. He wished Vegeta would say yes or no, anything, so long as it wasn't "Keh."
"Keh! Keh!" Dende must be laughing his pants off right about now…
Vegeta eagerly started jumping around the lollipops, taking in their various size and shapes and smells. Finally he grabbed two and held them out to Goku. "Keh!"
"No, sorry V-chan, but you can only have one." Goku held his breath to see what Vegeta would do as V-chan, since the adult Vegeta usually didn't respond kindly to some one telling him "no."
Luckily for Goku, V-chan seemed more willing to listen than his adult counterpart and instead carefully scrutinized the two rather large candies he was clutching. One of them was a big red and white swirl lollipop, as big a Vegeta's head – hair included – but only as thick as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (a regular one for humans, that is) and the other was a long peppermint stick, white with red and blue swirled around it, as long as his forearm and as thick as his fist. After staring at them for a while He handed them both to Goku, who took them curiously. Vegeta stood in front of the big circle lollipop and, putting his hands to either side of it, seemed to be comparing it to the size of his head. When he saw his hands easily pass on either side of his head, his eyes bugged out and he quickly put it away, grabbing the mint stick (I love those!)
Minutes later Goku and Vegeta found themselves outside the store sitting on a bench. Vegeta was struggling to remove the candy wrapper, half the time scratching at it, the other half gnawing on the end. Sighing Goku carefully pried the stick away from Vegeta, who at first started to get real upset, but smiled when a few seconds later had the wrapper opened for him.
"Mrm… keh!" Vegeta chirped, sticking the thing in his mouth. Goku's eyes bugged out. 'That thing barely fits! He better not choke or Bulma will kill me!'
"Mrph, mrmph!" Vegeta mumbled around the candy before pulling it wetly from his mouth. "Mm… Keh!"
"Ha ha, that's nice," laughed Goku nervously. 'I wonder if it would be better to break it into smaller pieces or just let him have his way with the stick.'
Suddenly Vegeta ripped the wrapper completely off, throwing it to the wind then took the stick into his mouth as deeply as it could go. Unfortunately, this meant that in order to eat the stick he had to pull it back out – it's kinda hard to swallow when one has something pressed up against the back of their throat. So he pulled it out and shoved it back in, in and out, in and out, and soon his face and has were an odd shade of purple from the blue and red stripes on the candy.
Goku sweatdropped as he watched the candy get all over Vegeta's clothes. 'Boy, I sure hope that washes out – I think that's 'Geta's favorite shirt.' He was surprised when suddenly he found the huge candy stick waving about in front of his face.
"Keh?" Vegeta chirped, offering the candy to Goku to taste.
"No thanks, I'm not that big on mint," Goku laughed sheepishly. 'Eww, Vegeta would kill me for sharing his candy!'
Apparently, V-chan would kill Goku for not licking his beloved stick.
"Keh! Keh!" Vegeta shoved it into Goku's mouth, looking rather annoyed that Goku didn't want to share.
"Mrph?" Goku looked st Vegeta, startled that he'd be so aggressive. After about half a minute had passed, Vegeta pulled the candy out of Goku'd mouth and continued slurping it.
"Sheesh, what was that about?"
"Keh!" Vegeta ran past him and past him again, arms in the air, waving his candy about like a sword – he was being chased by a bunch of bees.
"Aw, great, bees are attracted to sweet things and Vegeta's coated in the sticky sweet stuff." Goku flew over, grabbed him up under his arms, and zoomed away.
"Where should we land?" mused Goku as he flew back over the park.
"Keh," came a sad voice. Goku glanced down at Vegeta who was staring sadly at his empty, though sticky, hands.
"Huh, where'd your candy go?" asked Goku as they descended. Stepping back he heard a rather pronounced squelch. Looking down startled at the sound, he found where Vegeta's candy was – sandwiched in between him and Vegeta, a great red, white, blue and purple line down Vegeta's back and the candy stuck to Goku's pants.
"Aw nuts – guess we have to go buy some new clothes before we can eat.
"Keh," agreed Vegeta as reached over to pull off the candy, deciding to finsh eating it anyways.
~Owari~
Heh, hoped I cleaned it up – I probably missed some stuff, didn't know it had so much naughty sounding things in there… I was shocked. I was like this, I tell ya: @.@ Now that I'm finished blushing, please tell me how I did!
Now I have to go write the sequel to this, another two Inuyasha stories ("Puppies!" and Rats – Cats!") and another DBZ story "Vegeta ½":
Teaser:
In "Vegeta ½" Vegeta finds himself getting talked into going to China with Goku whereupon he finds himself falling into one of the cursed springs, turning himself into a girl (Ranma ½, anyone?) Towards the end he ends up smooching with Goku as a girl, only for Vegeta to wake up screaming bloody murder, before discovering that it was all a dream. ("No, not a dream, more like a horrible, horrible nightmare!")
And the second part to "Vegeta ½":
"Vegeta ½: Goku ½?!" Vegeta has yet another dream – only this time instead of him turning into a girl, it's Goku's turn! And what's this? The rest of the Z senshi all seem to be falling in love with this "Girl-ku?"
Note: the word "Girl-ku" was borrowed from Chuquita, though I think I've seen it somewhere else on the internet. Hmm… quick! To the Google!
