This story line is mine though; if you want to use it (in part – no plagiarizing please!) at least give me a shout out, okay!

What goes around comes around…

After having dragged Goku back onto the examining table (and, for some reason, propping his head up on the biggest fluffiest pillow Vegeta could find) Vegeta found himself looked down at the larger slumbering saiyan. "M-meh," mumbled the great sleeping lug.

"Oi, Kakarrotto, wake up." Vegeta poked Goku in the side. Goku merely rolled onto the offended side and batted away Vegeta's hand. Vegeta's eyebrows knit together.

"Ka- kar- rot- to…" growled Vegeta, tapping him more firmly on the shoulder. Goku sniffled. Vegeta sighed and studied Goku's face for a while. Out of the lot of the Z-gang, Goku was the youngest (unless you count Piccolo) – in fact, it looked like he had hardly aged…. Piccolo even seemed older than Goku, but he was "born" much later than the others, though older than Gohan. Perhaps it was due to Goku's childlike, innocent outlook on life. If this is Goku now… Vegeta shuddered. What must he have been like as a kid? Bulma thought he was a "cutie." Without thinking about it, Vegeta ruffled up Goku's bangs. "Feh."

Suddenly Goku sat up and, looking Vegeta straight in the eye, proclaimed: "Meh."

Vegeta blinked. "Meh? …What's this 'meh'?"

"Meh! Meh meh meh!" Goku glomped happily onto Vegeta's neck, cuddling up to him and purring in delight. If Goku still had a tail, it'd be wagging like mad.

"Gack!" Vegeta pulled Goku off him. "What's with you?!"

"Meh?" Goku cocked his head at Vegeta.

"Gah – you – head – hit –no." Vegeta blinked. "Buruma!!!"

"Yeah, he must have hit that bump at he correct angle and velocity, setting something off," Bulma confirmed.

"So, fix him already," gestured Vegeta at the clueless Goku.

"In a bit – need to do some checking on something first," said Bulma. 'Heehee, this will be the perfect opportunity for Vegeta to have to take care of Goku – see how he likes it. Have fun Goku.'

Vegeta sighed and looked at Goku who was currently giggling cutely at… a sock.

Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in annoyance.

"Kakarrotto, look here," grumbled Vegeta. 'He's supposed to pay attention to me!'

"Meh!" chirped Goku, looking around at Vegeta.

"First off, it's 'Vegeta!'" snapped Vegeta, impatience getting the better of him. "It's Vegeta! Ve-ge-ta!"

"Meh meh! Mehmeh! Meh-vweh!" repeated Goku, trying to say Vegeta's name. "M-veh, m-veh, m-veh, v-veh, veh-veh-veh-veh-veh! Veh-vee!"

Vegeta's eye twitched again. "Oh no, not that." Goku's grinning face floated in his mind as he started chirping all the nicknames he had bestowed on Vegeta. 'Hi 'Geta! Hi Veggie! Hi V-chan!' Vegeta sighed. 'Please no more cutesy nicknames.'

"Vehvee!" squealed Goku, glomping onto Vegeta's arm. "Mmmmmmm… Vehvee!" The eye twich wasn't enough – all of Vegeta's body twitched.

"The kais are mocking me," stated Vegeta in a mostly-dead voice. He glanced down to Goku, who seemed to be mostly asleep. "Kami, Dende must be laughing his dress off by now." (Up on the Lookout at Karin's Tower, Dende squawked, "It's a guardian's tunic!")

Vegeta glanced back down at Goku, a bubble floating in and out of Goku's mouth. "Fwef fweh fweh fweh fweh – shwuuuuuuu!" Goku breathed in and out, the bubble getting bigger and smaller with each breath until finally all the air escaped. Then "shweeee!" Another bubble formed.

'Must… not… touch…' Vegeta thought. However: 'Can't… help… it… Too… tempting…' Vegeta's finger inched closer to Goku's bubble. 'Must… poke…' *PIK* Vegeta's finger poked it, the bubble burst and Goku, smacking his lips, opened his eyes.

"Vehvee!" chirped Goku, snuggling into Vegeta's chest and arm. "Eh wubbu Vehvee."

"What's that! A rubber Veggie! What nonsense!" Vegeta sputtered.

"Actually, I think he said 'I *luv* you, *Veggie,*'" countered Bulma as she sauntered up to him. She looked at Goku, who was practically glued to Vegeta's arm. "Cute, ne?"

"Adorable. Simply adorable," Vegeta moaned.

Up on Kami's Lookout, Dende snickered.

End part 2 of chapter 2

Yeah, this is the one-shot that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends! One day I started writing it not knowing what it was, and then I kept on writing it forever just because…. Somebody asked me to. :blinks eyes: No, that doesn't fit… Ah well, who cares. (Tippy: I do. I want to go on the Internet. mkh2: Quiet you! Tippy: Is that the best insult you can come up with? Mkh2: … No cookie for you. Tippy: Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!)

.

Yup, I'm continuing writing this. It's gonna take a while – I had originally typed up two chapters, but my floppy disk ate it – bad floppy! :pouts: It ate the two chapters for "Thunk!", another chapter and a half for "Vegeta ½" (did you know Red Kasei just came out with "Kakarotto1/2"? Go read it – it's good!), and a chapter a piece for two of my Inuyasha stories. :sweatdrops: I had typed them up at school on Wednesday and they just went *poof* - no more story!

Hee, I just had pizza (Jeno's frozen pizza – very yummy!) and I think I'll heat up the oven for some cookies…. Mmmm….. cookies.
