Reda: I am officially bored. It's 10:26 central time, and I'm sitting at a computer, hurting my hands with all this typing I'm doing.

Vee: That's nice, Reda... We don't care.

Reda: We? Who's we? It's just you and me again...like how we started this story. (Sighs)

Vee: Reda, are you depressed and lonely...

Reda: Yes! I want someone I can talk to and not be arguing with or be telling to shut up and stop being annoying!

Vee: Stop being annoying? That's what you want? Well...sorry, Reda, can't help you there. I thought all the annoying people had left.

Reda: Vee...not now...I'm trying to be depressed here...

Vee: What? I'm confused...Oh well, Reda, SNAP OUT OF IT!!!! YOU HAVE TO WRITE!! Whew...I need some water after that good scream.

Reda: Vee...you need to calm down, and what are you doing talking to someone in the other room, or were you having a discussion with an imaginary friend?

Vee: I was...I was...Owe...I have a headache.

Reda: Let me see that can you're holding.

Vee: No!

Reda: (Gets a glimpse of a beer can) Vee! You're not old enough for beer! What are you trying to do? Get the cops to put me in jail here?

Vee: Yep, that was the main idea. (Sits in a nearby chair, rubbing his head) I'm not doing that again. Ugh...This HURTS!

Reda: Well, maybe you've learned your lesson.

Vee: Reda, why...are...there...three...of...you...(Passes out)

Reda: O...k...Lesson for all you folks out there. Don't drink beer...hmm...except when you want to get high to make your friends think you're crazy...

Chapter 31: Disobedience

Love truly is the greatest force out there...(drifts off in a daze, sighing). Oh! Sorry about that. Moving on...So, what is Reda's plan anyway? How's she going to trick Psyfoam, the genius? Will it work, or end up in a failure like all the others?

---------------------

Reda watched the scene at Goku's house play out, and discovered she had to change her plan. She was just now beginning to realize how much Goku cared for his family, and it was for that pure reason his dreams did not play out. It was like a fairy-tale, and she envied her brother because of the love he and his mate possessed.

Now, how was she going to trick Psyfoam into getting her down there? As Psyfoam got ready to explode, Reda gripped the champagne she had grabbed from Psyfoam's secret stash down the hall. Hopefully, he'd be too angry to notice.

"Psyfoam, it appears you've been disobeyed, and by Goku, too," she began.

The dark, evil being turned on her then. "Does this concern you, Reda?" He sounded pretty angry.

Reda smirked. Perfect. "Well, he is my brother, why should I not be concerned?"

Psyfoam scowled, "Don't you even try it. I know what you're up to!"

Damn! There's still got to be a way... She didn't lose her cool on the outside, remembering the champagne bottle in her hands behind her. "Psyfoam, don't you think you should send me down to force him to kill his family and friends? Even if I'm his sister, your orders come first, and I'd even fight him if I had to. I mean, don't you want to sit back here while your slaves do all the work?" She pulled out the wine. "You could sip champagne as you laughed at me and Goku, two of the strongest warriors fighting all because Goku wouldn't follow your orders. I mean, come on, sir. This is such a great opportunity to enjoy yourself." She tried to look innocent as a smirk tempted the corners of his mouth. "Don't let it pass by; you would be proving to the universe that you're a genius. That's what you wanted all along, right?"

"I agree," Psyfoam said with a smirk as he snatched the wine delicacy out of her hands. "Go to Earth, Reda, and force Goku to obey me." He chuckled. "It's been such a long time since I've seen siblings fight."

Reda spun around, as Psyfoam got comfy in his favorite chair. She grinned at Vee's shocked expression, mouthed the words "Get ready," and copied her brother's Instant Transmission to meet Goku on Earth; this time she wouldn't be a stranger.

-----------------------

Pan rushed in, followed by Gohan and Krillin. She ran to the back where she could sense...Her feet stopped when she saw Goku.

"Grandpa?" He didn't turn right away, so she let her eyes follow his vision to where Chi-Chi was putting Videl in the bed she occupied moments before. "Mom!"

Then Gohan came in with pretty much the same reaction. "Dad?" His eyes drifted. "Videl!"

Goku laughed as Gohan and Pan ran to Videl's bedside. "You two are more alike than we thought." Then he became serious when he noticed Krillin. "Hey, Krillin, did you bring senzu beans?"

"Toss me one, Krillin!" Gohan commanded before the midget could even nod.

Krillin quickly did so, and Gohan immediately gave one to his wife. As Videl began to wake up, Goku spoke to his buddy as Eighteen came around the corner. "Krillin, can you split the senzu beans so we can work faster at getting everyone up?"

"Sure thing, Goku, but can you tell me why you're down here now?"

Goku looked to the side, but before he could reply, a female voice broke in. "That could be a long story, and we have a very short amount of time."

As the girl came in view, her tail twitching with partial excitement, Goku nearly fell back with surprise. "Reda! What are you doing here?"

"That could also be a long story, which we don't have the time for. It won't take long for Psyfoam to realize the trick I pulled on him and get all upset. So, if we're going to wake everyone up, we'd better hurry."

----------------------

Psyfoam wasn't upset; he was furious! "Vee!"

"Yes, sir?" The Saiyan Prince asked, trying to hide the excitement in his voice.

Luckily, in his anger, Psyfoam didn't notice. "Get down there right now and bring Reda and Goku back here! I want to punish them both!"

"Okay, sure, go to Earth, right. Fine with me." Before disappearing, Vee smirked, "Thanks, Psyfoam."

-----------------------

After everyone had been brought up to speed and Vegeta had knocked Trunks out of his shock (literally). Reda started to explain the situation to the Z fighters. And then Vee showed up.

"All right, Reda. So, how long do you think it'll take for Psyfoam to come down?" Vee asked as the Z warriors stared.

Vegeta grumbled, "I thought you were dead."

Vee looked at his older brother, losing his momentary excitement. "Bet you were disappointed," he said sarcastically.

"I wasn't then; I am now."

"What? Disappointed because I'm alive?" When Vegeta didn't respond, Vee clenched his teeth in anger, knowing exactly what his brother's answer was. "Well, how was life under Frieza?" He asked, crossing his arms.

"How is life under Psyfoam?" Vegeta countered.

Vee scowled, "You have no earthly idea. Besides, I'm about to get rid of Psyfoam in just a few more minutes."

"Vee...we are..."

"Shut up, Reda! I swore that I would be the one to kill Psyfoam, and that's how it's going to happen!"

"Oh really? Are you sure you have the power to beat your master, Vee?" Everyone turned at that voice. Reda shuddered as the nerves set in, Goku cringed inwardly but put on his game face, Supreme Kai clenched his teeth as well as his fists, Chi-Chi fought the urge to cling to her boys, Krillin and Eighteen stood beside each other ready for attack, Piccolo and Vegeta simply moved their eyes to face the terror of the universe, Trunks wished his father could be more serious, Pan wished she could help fight instead of running to hide with the women, and Vee...Well, Vee turned to face his greatest adversary with that cocky smirk on his face and his eyes glaring death daggers at his most hated enemy.

Psyfoam had arrived to battle against his own slaves and their petty reinforcements. And so begins the battle against the cruelest evil ever created: Psyfoam.

--------------------

Reda: And now we begin!

Vee: Uhn...(Mumbles in his sleep)

Reda: (Sighs) Vee, you need help.

Vee: Hey...no fair...I can't...talk...back...uhn...

Reda: Vee, you seriously need help.

Goku: I'm back!

Trunks: Goku, why did you use up ALL the money? Now, Dad's going to kill me!

Goku: What are you talking about? That was Reda's money.

Trunks: No, she took that from Vegeta when he dropped his wallet.

Goku: Oh...

Reda: Um...I think I should pull the plug now.
