Quote of the Week: -from DuBZ #286 "Spirt Bomb Triumphant"

Goku: (ready to chuck genki-dama at Kid Buu) Vegeta! Move out of the way!

Vegeta: Kakarrot what do you think I'm doing? I can't!

Goku: You've got to be kidding?! Vegeta what are you saying! You've got to get out of there!

Vegeta: (while pounding fists on the ground) (eyes squinted shut) Why are you waiting! Fool! Fire the thing! Do it now!

Kakarrot! Be a true saiyan! Launch that spirit Bomb!

Buu: (notices Son is waiting because of Veggie)

Goku: I can't Vegeta!

Vegeta: You have to!

Buu: (snickers evilly, waves to Son and walks over to Veggie)

Vegeta: Kakarrot...

Buu: (stomps on Veggie's back)

Vegeta: WAAAAAHHHHH!!

Goku: Shoot, he knows!

Dende: (watching from Namek-sei) This is bad. Very very bad. He won't, he won't fire the bomb.

Kaibito: But, he must!

King Cold: (watching from h.f.i.l w/other bad guys) How preposterous. He would lose just to save Vegeta?

Freeza: Heh-heh, that saiyan's such a sucker.

Babidi: Buu! I hope you die you spoiled brat!

Vegeta: (to Son, still on the ground) Don't disgrace our efforts with your sentimental rubbish! Launch the bomb!

Goku: N--no. You're the one who got us this far!

Buu: (forms ki ball) Hahahaha!

Goku: Come on Vegeta!

Buu: (starts firing ki balls at Son)

Goku: Vegeta!

Buu: (keeps firing)

Hercule: (watching Kid Buu) Darn him!

Fat Buu: (consious and angry)

Hercule: Buu! Oh Buu you're alive! I thought you were dead! Good to see ya!

Fat Buu: (slaps Hercule)

Hercule: (watches as Fat Buu walks away) Buu? What's the matter? Are you alright? (Fat Buu heads towards Kid) Boy, is he mad.

Goku: (still getting blasted)

Kaio-sama: I can't believe this is happening!! Goku! This doesn't make any sense! Vegeta wants you to do it! Please! Launch

the bomb NOW!

Buu: (sends really big ki blast at Son)

Goku: (dodges it) Darn you!

Buu: (forms another)

Vegeta: (still on the ground)

Goku: (watching Veggie) What a mess! (squints his eyes shut) VEGETA FORGIVE ME! I can't do it!

Fat Buu: (knocks Kid out of the way, sending ki blast off into the distance) Hercule!

Hercule: Hey! But, you already have him. (notices Veggie) Oh! I see. You're right. (gets up) (grabs Veggie and runs off)

(Kid blasts Fat Buu into mountain)

Hercule: Please don't die Buu! (to Son) Hey you! What are you waiting for? It's now or never!

(Kid looks from Herc to Son)

Goku: (thinking) (happy-smile) He's got Vegeta! WAY TO GO CHAMP! YOU REALLY ARE A HERO!

Chuey's Corner:

Chuquita: (clasps her hands together) One of my favorite scenes dub & sub AND one of the very few that almost brought me to

tears the first time I saw the dub version. (happy)

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) A little long, don't you think?

Chuquita: ...well? You know this is one of the very rare occations where the quote DID last, ah, longer than usual. But hey,

if I HAD just used a couple lines you wouldn't have gotten the most out of it.

Goku: (big smile) It makes me feel warm inside to know that little Veggie is safe!

Vegeta: Had it been anyone else they would have fired without even thinking. (sweatdrops)

Goku: (pats Veggie on the shoulder) There there little Veggie.

Chuquita: Even though I usually prefer Goku & Veggie's sub voices, I absolutely luved how their Funi va's performed that

scene!

Vegeta: (twitches slightly) It was mushy, that's what it was. (to Son) You were willing to DOOM the universe for me.

Goku: (tilts his head to one side)

Chuquita: Now that's friendship.

Vegeta: (thinks) I'd give him a medal, if any medals from Bejito-sei still existed.

Goku: (glomps Veggie from behind) (happy-grin) Veggie's my FRIEND!

Vegeta: ... (twitch) ...

Goku: (contently rocking back and forth while still hugging Veggie) Mmmmm~~

Vegeta: (glowing bright red) Ah..... (tries to unfog his brain) *Idea!* AH! (squeezes out of Son's massive grip) Here you go,

Kakarrotto! (holds out a pair of Goku-sized white gloves)

Goku: Oooh! (takes gloves and examines them)

Vegeta: They're uh, a prize. For valuing me in an almost creepy-level of highlyness.

Goku: (happily puts the gloves on)

Vegeta: (grins) They'll keep your hands warm AND keep the kaka-germs that are, at least the ones on your hands, off of me.

Goku: (sweetly) Thank u little Veggie! (plops back down in his own chair while looking at the gloves in wonder and awe)

Chuquita: Seeing as we sorta used up way-more-than-usual space on the Quote of the week, let's just jump right into the

next chapter from here, huh.

Vegeta: (smirks) Kakarrotto's content and not hugging me. I'm content and not being hugged by Kakarrotto. Fine by me.

Chuquita: Great! (grins) Here's Part 3 everybody!

Summary: The dragonballs are active again and after much thought, Chi-Chi figures out a way to beat Vegeta at his own game,

by wishing Goku human. However the large saiyajin has a lot more trouble adjusting to being a middle-aged human instead of a

saiyajin in his lengthy prime; not to mention the wrinkles and graying hair he gains, and possibly baldingness. Goku hides in

bed, depressed. Will an enraged Veggie be able to turn his peasant back into his rightful species? Will Shenlong even trust

to listen to a wish from Veggie after what happened last time?

Chuquita: Shenlong's compact form was based on Toriyama's compact Shenlong he drew in the table of contents of one of the

db graphic novels, playing soccer.

*****************************************************************************************************************************

      " Ahh, " Shenlong sighed happily as he took another sip of iced tea. He tilted his sunglasses up slightly and

sweatdropped to see four heads peering at him from behind the nearby bushes. The dragon paled as he sat up in his red

swimtrunks and sat his glass on the small table nearby him, " It can't be. " Shenlong twitched, rubbing his eyes, then took

his glasses off completely to expose his red irises and white eyeballs. The dragon gawked as soon as he recognized them,

" Oh my God it is. "

      " SHENLONG-SAMA! " Goku squealed, bouncing over to him, " I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! WE ACTUALLY FOUND YOU AND NOW YOU CAN

FIX ME ALL UP OH I FEEL SO HAPPY I WOULD JUMP FOR JOY IF I WAS NOT ALREADY EXPERIANCING THE lack of energy that comes with...

...being a middle-aged...human... " he said tiredly as he bobbed to stay awake.

      " You know, most adult humans drink coffee for an energy boost. " Shenlong pointed out.

      " BWAHAHA! " an almost insane evil laugh came from behind Shenlong as he suddenly felt himself grabbed by the back

of his neck and yanked right off his chair, " NOW I'VE GOT YOU!! "

      Shenlong looked over his shoulder, " VEGETA?! " he gasped, then paused, " Why am I not surprised. " he said flatly.

      " WOW! Look at Shenlong! He's the same size as Kuririn now! " Vejitto laughed, pointing to the dragon.

      Shenlong glanced back over only to come face to face with both fusions, " GAH! "

      " Hello! " Gogeta chirped happily, waving to Shenlong.

      " Ah, hi. " Shenlong sweatdropped, waving weakly back.

      " So? You're going to wish Kakay back now, RIGHT? " Vegeta's voice uttered dangerously behind Shenlong, " And you're

going to give him back his immortality as well huh? "

      " Vegeta you don't even know if I have enough power left to grant such wishes. " Shenlong sweatdropped.

      The ouji paled, " Do you? "

      " Yes. "

      " GREAT! " Vegeta cheered, then whipped out the Shenlong statue, " Now turn Kakay back before I crush you into

pieces! "

      " AHHH! " Shenlong pointed to the statue, " WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?! "

      " Dende gave it to us to help find you! " Gogeta grinned.

      " Oh.....that's very, uncomforting. " Shenlong gulped.

      " WISH KAKAY BACK NOW! " Vegeta demanded.

      " You know, if I were to use two more wishes I would be weaked so badly that it would take me MONTHS to recover

enough energy to get home. " Shenlong said, " Who knows if it's worth it! "

      Vegeta lamely turned Shenlong towards Goku, " Say hello to Kakarrotto. "

      " Hi! " Goku chirped.

      Shenlong paled, his eyes bulging out of his head, " THAT'S, GOKU!? "

      Goku sadly pouted and nodded his head.

      " ... " Shenlong turned back to Vegeta with, " It's worth it. " he said flatly.

      " Good. " Vegeta grinned, " Now go change Kakarrotto back for me. "

      " Uh-huh. " Shenlong sighed, then whispered to Goku, " The next time the dragonballs are active, I want you to make

sure to keep the dragon radar away from BOTH of them. Chi-Chi AND, Vegeta. "

      " Oh-kay Shenny! " Goku gave him a thumbs-up.

      Shenlong sweatdropped, " Don't call me that it sounds like a girl's name. "

      " K! " Goku grinned, " I'm gonna be a cute lil saiyajin peasant again I can't wait! " he practically squealed.

      Shenlong backed up and got ready to summon his power, " You know Son Goku, when a grown saiyajin starts acting like

that it's quite amusing. But when a grown man starts acting like that, it's creepy. "

      Goku sweatdropped.

      " HE IS A MAN! " Vegeta twitched.

      " You know what I mean. A HUMAN man. " Shenlong face-faulted.

      " ...oh. " Vegeta blinked.

      " WAH! " Shenlong fell over, then bounced back up, " By the way, the, ah, hair-- "

      " Chi-chan cut it while I was unconsious. " Goku replied before Shenlong could finish.

      The dragon shuddered, " Yet another reason why I'm glad I don't have hair. " he muttered, then cleared his throat as

two or three clouds above him in the sky grew dark, " WHAT DO YOU WISH OF ME. " he said in his deep, "magical-wish-granting

being" voice.

      " I WISH TO BE A SAIYAJIN AGAIN! " Goku cheered excitedly, " AND TO BE IMMORTAL LIKE AGAIN LIKE VEGGIE IS!! "

      " AS YOU WISH. " Shenlong said, then sent two bright beams of light at Goku, causing the large saiyajin to shriek out

in pain. The light faded away to reveal Goku now back in saiyajin form. His chopped hair instantly sprouted back to it's

original hairstyle and a dazed and confused just-brought-back-to-life Bibishii waved gently behind him. Having his saiyajin

physique back had also caused Goku to bulge through the suit Chi-Chi had made him wear and his suit's shirt was now in

shreads. Luckily he kept enough of his pants for them to be recognized as a pair of shorts with a strange length to them.

Energy flowed through the large saiyajin like he had just eaten a very large group of fish. Goku blinked, then grabbed

Shenlong's reflective glasses right off his face and peered down into them like a mirror, grinning.

      " AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! " he squealed, " I'M ME AGAIN! WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! " Goku cheered, then started blindly

running unbelievably fast laps around the island and giggling out of pure excitement, " I'M ME I'M ME I'M ME!!! "

      " Your wishes have been granted. I bid thee well. " a tiny voice came from next to Vegeta and the fusions. The

remaining saiyajins glanced down to see Shenlong no more than six inches high. All three sweatdropped, " Now see what you've

made me done! "

      " Heeheehee, you look like a toy! " Vejitto grinned.

      " WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! " Goku cheered some more. He froze in mid-lap and beamed when he

saw Vegeta, " VEGGIE!! " Goku squealed. He flew straight at the ouji and tackled him head-on, knocking Vegeta to the ground

in a huge, tight hug, " VEHHHHHHHH-GEE. IMISSEDHUGGINGYOU!!! "

      " ... " Vegeta's face glew bright red, a big content grin on his face.

      " OhVeggiethankyousomuchforallthehelpandIluvulittleVeggiechanandnowIgotmybodybackandmykakagermsandBibishii!! " Goku

rattled off happily and at a super-fast pace due to the glut of eagerness in his body. Goku looked over his shoulder, " And

I missed you too Bibishii! "

      Bibishii meanwhile was already tangled up together with Nango tightly and seemed to be doing whatever the tail

equivalent of making out would be.

      " Aww, look how much they luv each other Veggie! They're hugging too. " Goku said in awe.

      Vegeta shook the redness from his face and sat up. He recognized what the tails were doing and shrieked, " AHHHH! "

he yanked his own tail away, " CUTTHATOUT!! "

      Nango mentally blinked for a second, then lundged back at Bibishii who welcomed him with open arms. The two tails

fell to the ground and gave each other a long tight squeeze, sending both Goku and Vegeta's faces into their bright pink and

red colors, blank stares on either of their faces. The tails's fur puffed out as they both glowed their own respective

colors.

      " A happy ending! " Vejitto said cheerfully.

      " HOORAY! " Gogeta cheered.

      " For you. I'm not even a foot TALL now! " Shenlong complained in his now-shrunken, tiny-voice, " But, at least with

Son Goku back to normal I won't have to worry about having the world taken over by some random unseen evil force. " he

sighed.

      Nango and Bibishii relaxed and finally let go of each other, still sitting by one another's side. Vegeta and Goku

fell down from over-heat exhaustion. Vejitto grabbed a nearby bucket and filled it with water from the nearby ocean, then

walked back over to his parents and dumped the bucket over their heads, almost-immediantly cooling off the glow from their

bodies.

      " You're welcome! " he grinned, then walked back over to Gogeta who was clapping for him.

      " Wahhh? " Vegeta dizzily let out while he tried to turn his brain back on.

      " That felt nice. " Goku smiled, just as dizzy. He started to get up only to fall back down onto his side.

      " ... " Gogeta blinked at the scene, then looked down at Shenlong, " Shenlong can I wish for some ice-water to cool

Kaasan and Toussan off? "

      " NO! NO MORE WISHES! " the already-tiny Shenlong ranted.

      Gogeta's bottom lip wobbled.

      " FINE! There's ice-water in my cooler behind the chair. Use THAT. " he huffed.

      " YAY! " Gogeta bounced over Shenlong's chair and started emptying out some of the ice-water while Vejitto held out

the bucket.

      " It's not like I'm going to need that much of it with the size I am NOW. " Shenlong sweatdropped.

      The two fusions tossed the ice-water onto the remaining saiyajins, causing them to both jump to their feet.

      " AHH! COLD! " Goku shivered, trying to warm up his clothingless arms, " So cold.. " his tail shook the wetness off

of itself. Goku picked it up and started rubbing it for warm but with little success.

      Vegeta meanwhile was busy squeezing the water out of his hair, " You could have just waited for us to cool off. " he

sweatdropped at the fusions.

      " But we missed you. " Gogeta pouted.

      " Uh-huh. " an even larger sweatdrop appeared on the side of Vegeta's head.

      " So Shenlong? Is this your island? " Vejitto asked curiously.

      " No, lots of magical creatures use this as a rest stop. Santa Claus, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy, cupid. "

Shenlong rattled off.

      " Ah, yes. I still want to harm that arrow-wielding child for making a fool out of me. " Vegeta rubbed his hands

together evilly, then paused in thought, " But...not today. " then let out a yelp as something hit him on the back of the

head. Vegeta picked the item up off his shoulder and screamed, " AHH! IT'S KAKARROTTO'S HUMAN-PANTS!! " Vegeta shrieked and

threw them to the ground. He gulped, daring himself to glance over and make sure Goku still had some article of clothing on,

" Ah....uh...Ka--Kakarrotto? "

      " Yes Veggie? " Goku said sweetly beside him. Vegeta glanced to his left and yelped to see Goku was now suddenly back

in his orange and blue gi, " Hi Veggie! "

      " H--how did you?...but we're millions of miles from your hou--- " Vegeta stumbled, confused.

      " The magic returns, little Veggie! " Goku said excitedly.

      " And just as creepy and mysterious as ever... " Vegeta muttered under his breath.

      " Here you go Shenlong-san! " Goku picked up the now-tiny dragon and set him back onto his lawn chair.

      " Thank you, Son Goku. " Shenlong nodded.

      " You're welcome! "

      " If Santa is here does that mean I can give him my list? " Goku beamed.

      " He's sort of resting right now. " Shenlong sweatdropped.

      Vejitto poked his head through another brush of trees to see Santa sitting on a dock, fishing, " Hi Santa! "

      " Hi Santa! " Gogeta added, popping up beside Vejitto.

      " Ho ho ho! Hello Vejitto and Gogeta. " he waved to them, then went back to fishing. He cast his fishingline into

the water again.

      " Hey Toussan, Santa's off on the other end of the island fishing! " Vejitto said as he and Gogeta emerged from the

other side of the forest.

      " It is a small world after all! " Goku chirped, then stretched a bit, " And now to go back home--to Veggie's house!"

he announced gleefully, " Thank you Shenlong-san! " he bent down to the dragon's height.

      " Aw, you're welcome Son Goku. " Shenlong smiled, " Now, if you could just put that ice-tea down here where I could

reach it-- "

      " Ta-da! " Goku did so, then gave a little bow, " See you next year Shenlong-san! " he waved goodbye, then started

to hover upward.

      " So, we're leaving now? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow, following him along with the fusions who tagged behind him.

      " Yup! " Goku spun his body in mid-air, enjoying being physically-fit again.

      " ...what do you suppose we do about Onna then? " Vegeta asked, a smirk growing on his face.

      " What about her? "

      " WELL. She did something completely selfish and horrible to you! Don't you want REVENGE?! " Vegeta exclaimed.

      Goku gasped, " Oh Veggie, Chi-chan says I am not allowed to get revenge on people! "

      " Kakarrotto, Onna stole the dragon radar, changed your entire body without consulting you, chopped your hair off,

TRIED to chop off your tail, and then attempted to force you into getting a HUMAN job! " Vegeta said bluntly.

      " ... " Goku blinked, a coy little smile appeared on his face, " I WOULD, like to teach Chi-chan a lesson for being

mean to me. " he blushed lightly with embarassment.

      " That's my peasant. " Vegeta grinned, giving the larger saiyajin a quick hug. He froze, " OH MY GOD WHAT AM I DOING!

" he shrieked and looked at his hands like they were diseased. Vegeta twitched in horror, then glanced back to see Goku

staring at him with big sparkily eyes.

      " Oh Veggie... " he trailed off musingly.

      " WAHHHH! I'll, I'll race you back home, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta sputtered quickly, then blasted off.

      Goku smiled proudly, clasping his hands together, " I LUV U TOO VEGGIE!! "

      " And now it is READY! " Bulma announced as she stood before her time-snap machine, ready to pull the switch.

      " And you're sure that bringing a younger version of Kaasan from the past to convince the present Kaasan that she's

gone off her rocker on the whole "Toussan-Vegeta" thing is going to work? " Gohan asked, slightly uneasy about the whole

idea.

      " Of COURSE Gohan. " Bulma reassured him, " Believe it or not your mother was at one time a pleasant individual! "

      Gohan sent her death-glare.

      " Ah, not that she isn't now, but, oh you know what I mean. " she put a pair of goggles on and adjusted her lab coat,

" Everybody back away from the machine now! Here we go! "

      The Past...one year pre-Gohan...

      :::" WHEE! " Goku dove happily, catching the apples as they were hurtled out of the tree, " Haha! I do luv apples,

Chi-chan! " he picked one up out of the basket and ate it.

      " Goku-san! Can you get the other two baskets? I think that one's full. " Chi-Chi called out, squinting to make sure.

      " Hmm? " Goku looked down at the full basket he was holding, then plunked it down and dashed a few feet to where the

two empty ones were and picked them up, " Hee~~ here I come! "

      " Great! " Chi-Chi grabbed several more apples off the branch, then tossed them down at him. Goku nimbly caught each

one, no matter what direction they were thrown in. Chi-Chi glanced upward and gawked, " Oh WOW! Look at the size of that one!

It must be almost 3 times the size of the other ones! " she plucked it, " Hey Goku-san! Check this one out! It's HUGE! "

      " It's FUN SIZE! " Goku grinned decidedly.

      " Watch out though, it's heavy! " she held it up over her head and prepared to chuck it only to suddenly disappear.

      Goku squinted and waited for the apple's impact, then opened his eyes a moment later and gasped to see Chi-Chi along

with the apple were gone, " Chi-chan? Chi-chan? " he paused and his eyes began to water, " Chi-chan where'd you go? ":::

      " Goku-san? " Chi-Chi blinked, now standing on a platform infront of a mostly unfamilar group of people, the giant

apple still being held over her head. Her cheeks flushed with embarassment as she put the apple down, " Ah.... " Chi-Chi

looked around, confused.

      " SUCCESS! " Bulma cheered.

      Chi-Chi glanced over at her and gasped, " Hey! I know you! You're one of Goku-san's friends! "

      " Yes. Yes I am! " Bulma grinned.

      Gohan moved a bit closer out of curiousity and couldn't help but gawk at the past Chi-Chi. She was wearing the blue

and red gi he had seen her in in old photo's from the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. Her hair was up in a ponytail versus the usual

bun and her bangs were a lot thinner and looser looking.

      " Can I help you? " Chi-Chi sweatdropped at him. Gohan froze to find out he was nearly looming over her in study.

      " WAH! Ah, sorry! I didn't mean to stare at you really it's just that it's been so long since you even remotely

looked like this--not that you look old now I mean not this you but--ah forget it! " Gohan hung his head in defeat.

      " You look a lot like Goku-san, only different. " Chi-Chi concluded.

      " That's because he's your son! " Bulma said brightly.

      " My, SON? "

      " From the future! "

      " FROM THE---what? " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow, shocked and confused.

      " Kaasan brought you here to the future to snap your present self out of a bout with insanity. " Mirai sweatdropped,

explaining it to her.

      " So, I'm in the future? " Chi-Chi blinked.

      " Yup! " Bulma said proudly, motioning to Mirai to applaud her, which he did; but not without sweatdropping.

      " How, far in the future? "

      " Hi Mommy! " Goten chirped, trying to hop onto the platform.

      " Aww! You're so kawaii! You're just like a chibi Goku-san! " Chi-Chi gushed, pulling Goten up and giving him a hug.

      " Hee~! " Goten grinned at her.

      " 20 years. " Gohan figured.

      " WAHHH! " Chi-Chi fell over, " TWENTY YEARS!!! "

      " Haha! " Goten laughed.

      " Yes. However I can only keep you here for about an hour without causing any major time and space disruptions. "

Bulma checked her machine.

      " YOU MEAN YOU COULD TEAR TIME AND SPACE APART WITH THIS THING!? " Mirai exclaimed.

      " Well yes. That's why it's called a time-SNAP. It snaps a hole through time for me to pull people through. " Bulma

explained, " The worst that could happen is that time and space could collapse on each other. "

      Mirai twitched, " If the risks were THAT HIGH then why didn't you just send me in the TIME MACHINE?! "

      " Because for some reason when you use that you keep creating alternate timelines. Who knows if you'd get back here

alright! " Bulma let out a sigh.

      Mirai glanced over at past Chi-Chi, who was at the moment playing tag with Goten, " ...and you're sure this is the

same person who's walking around upstairs with an ax while threatening Toussan with every painful affliction possible. " he

said flatly.

      " Well, yes. " Bulma sweatdropped, then walked over to Chi-Chi, " Now. What I'm about to explain to you is slightly

complex. SO, I've drawn up these charts! " she pushed over a white-board with various doodles on them, " About a year from

now you and Goku are going to have your first child together, his name is Gohan and he's the one standing next to me... "

      " ...so you're saying that for some reason I decide fighting is bad and want my first child to grow up to be a

super-genius even though we live out in the middle of nowhere. But I get so wrapped up and frustrated in that that I don't

realize I've started to become verbally abusive towards Goku-san. And then there's this alien prince who comes to earth and

says Goku-san's the only other one of his species left and starts out as his rival but then becomes so obsessed emotionally

with him that he tries to steal Goku-san away from me repeatedly with Goku-san naive to the whole thing. And now I'm so

h.f.i.l-bent on utterly destroying this prince that I wished Goku-san into a human against his will and changed all these

physical things about him to keep the alien from desiring him?! " Chi-Chi said.

      " That's pretty much on-track. Yeah. " Bulma nodded.

      " ...THAT'S INSANE!! " Chi-Chi exclaimed.

      " You forgot the parts where Earth has been attacked by super-monsters 3 times and Toussan was killed twice and you,

Goten and I were all killed once later on. " Gohan added.

      " I still don't see how even through all that I could lose my mind. " Chi-Chi folded her arms in thought.

      " Oh Vegeta eggs you on all the time. " Bulma sighed tiredly.

      " Vegeta.... "

      " The alien prince. " Mirai injected.

      " Huh. "

      " OH! " Bulma said, " By the way, this is my son Mirai, he's from an alternate future. "

      " You guys sure like time-travel. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " I can't stay though, I have to get back. Goku-san will

start to worry about me and I'd hate to have him worry. " she explained.

      " We'll send you back to the past not even a few seconds after you left so neither you or Goku need to worry about

anything. " Bulma said, " Besides, you need to talk some sense into your present self! "

      " Yeah, Kaasan won't listen to what ANY of us say on the whole "Ouji" matter. " Gohan frowned.

      " "Ouji"? "

      " That's what you've been calling him since you formed a powerful anger towards him as a whole. " Gohan replied.

      " Does he really have, feelings of love for Goku-san? " Chi-Chi blinked, confused.

      " Well, he likes to lead you on sometimes just to further drive you to jealous paranoia, but no. Not that we know

of. " Bulma shrugged.

      " Then there's no reason to worry. " Chi-Chi shrugged happily, " If he doesn't have an actual crush on Goku-san, why

do I want to kill him? "

      " It's not mostly WHAT he does, but the WAY he does it. " Gohan said.

      " And Goku-san? He's really a species of space-alien called a saiyajin with super-powers and all sorts of

transformations and is the strongest being in the universe? "

      " Hai. " Bulma replied.

      " That is so...cool! " she clasped her hands together, " No WONDER he's so strong! He's just like Superman! "

      " WAHHHH!! " Bulma fell over, " IT'S NOT COOL YOU HATE IT! "

      " I do? " Chi-Chi's face fell.

      " Yes! Because, because, ah.....you hate it because, Goku's always running off to save the planet and leaving you at

home. " Bulma tried to figure out.

      " Why don't I come with him? "

      " Because you stopped training after you had me. And you only started up again to train Goten because Toussan was

dead for the 2nd time. " Gohan answered.

      " This is all....very confusing. " Chi-Chi sighed.

      " Well in that case let's just wait for Son-kun and Vegeta to get back from wishing him into a saiyajin again. "

Bulma said, " You'll get a fairly good idea of what's going on once you spy on your typical present-you vs Vegeta battle. "

      " My present self is going to spar against this guy INSIDE your house? " Chi-Chi gasped.

      Bulma groaned, " This, is going to take a while. "

      " Here, Ouji Ouji Ouji. " present Chi-Chi grinned maliciously as she swung her ax around again, hunting through

Capsule Corp for Vegeta, " I know you're around her someplace, you evil little MONSTER, you can't hide forever! "

      " There we are. "

      Chi-Chi froze and dashed back into the living-room just intime for Goku, Vegeta, Vejitto, and Gogeta to appear.

      Vegeta motioned the fusions to leave the room as if something of a violent nature were about to occur. The two

fusion-babies took their leave and dashed down to Bulma's lab where they felt her, Gohan's, and the others' ki.

      ::Ready to put on a show, Kakay?:: Vegeta mentally asked Goku.

      ::I am ready and able, little Veggie!:: Goku mentally said happily back.

      ::Good. It's showtime:: Vegeta smirked, then took a couple steps towards Chi-Chi, " Onna. Hello. "

      " Ouji. " Chi-Chi gritted her teeth, holding the ax over her shoulder.

      " You didn't have to wait up you know. I was just going to give Shenlong a visit. You see he's just done WONDERS for

Kakay's health and self-esteem. You won't believe how grateful Kakay was to him, and me. " Vegeta snickered.

      Chi-Chi looked up and gasped to see Goku was now back in saiyajin form along with his hair, " AHH! HOW DID YOU? I

mean, but I already USED the dragonballs how could you have--- "

      " --we happened to drop by Shenlong's little vacation spot and he offered to fix Kakay back up for me. " the ouji

slid closer to Goku, " Isn't that right, Kakarrotto. " he patted Goku on the shoulder, who let out a parade of little giggles

, his cheeks turning pink.

      " Don't you touch him Ouji or I'll chop your hands off! " Chi-Chi threatened.

      " BWAHAHA! Really, well I'd like see how HARMING ME would put you in Kakay's favor. " Vegeta snickered, rubbing

up against the larger saiyajin's side.

      " Veggie is my FRIEND, Chi-chan! " Goku beamed, reaching over to grab the little ouji. Vegeta let out a mental yelp

and dodged the glomp. Goku blinked in surprise when he realized he'd missed his target.

      " Yes, yes I am. " Vegeta nodded proudly. He lightly hugged the peasant's arm only to see Chi-Chi's ax now no more

than a few inches before his face.

      " Tsk tsk Onna, it's not very nice to point--eep! " Vegeta blinked to see the ax not lightly touching the skin

between his eyes, " Well, you're certainly serious this time, aren't you? "

      Chi-Chi growled at him, " YOU TRICKED ME! YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO MAKE GOKU DO SOME CHORES FOR MONEY BUT INSTEAD

YOU STOLE HIM OFF TO SOME, SOME MAGICAL ISLAND AND CHANGED HIM BACK!! HOW COULD YOU CHANGE HIM BACK!!! "

      " It's very simple, this what Kakay wants. " the ouji smirked.

      " HE DOES NOT! "

      " HOW WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT KAKARROTTO WANTS, YOU TRANSFORMED HIM INTO A HUMAN AGAINST HIS WILL! " Vegeta shouted,

then calmed down, " That's a sure way to LOSE if you ask me. "

      " HA! AND TURNING HIM INTO YOUR LITTLE "SERVANT-MAID" IS WHAT HE WANTS, HUH? " Chi-Chi scoffed at the thought.

      " Um, can I say something? " Goku sweatdropped.

      " NO! "

      " Ohh. " Goku sighed.

      " See that Onna? You're making him SAD again. " Vegeta grinned evilly, " Poor Kakay, I had to do SOMETHING to help

him, trapped in such a loveless relationship you know. "

      " HAAAAAAAA!! " Chi-Chi thrust her ax forward, Vegeta teleported away just intime. He landed on the sofa only to

do a backflip over it when Chi-Chi jumped up and tried to swing at him. Vegeta turned and started dashing around the room in

a circle, Chi-Chi on his heels and continuing to swing the ax repeatedly and causing many items in the room to be caught in

the crossfire. Vegeta suddenly disappeared and Chi-Chi skidded to a halt.

      " Hn. I tire of this. " Vegeta stated in mock-dulldum. Chi-Chi froze and looked up with rage to see the little ouji

standing on her head with his arms crossed.

      " UGGGGGGGGHHH! " she swung the ax upwards only to have Vegeta jump upward causing a change in her equilibrium.

Chi-Chi wobbled backward and fell up then down onto her stomach from the direction she had swung in.

      " BWAHAHAHA! " Vegeta laughed, landing on the ground just a few inches away from her, " NOW you see how useless it

is! "

      " ERRRR.. " Chi-Chi growled, " I'LL KILL YOU!!! "

      " Now now, Kakay wouldn't like that! " Vegeta grinned, then glanced over at Goku w/big sparkily eyes, " Would u

Kakay? "

      " Heeheehee. " Goku giggled, " Veggie-so-cute! "

      " ARRRRRG! " Chi-Chi grabbed her ax and swung it upward, just narrowly missing chopping a big chunk out of Vegeta's

tail.

      " HEY! " the ouji snapped.

      " Chi-chan don't! You'll hurt Veggie! " Goku pouted.

      " WHAT!!! " Chi-Chi roared, stomping towards him, " HOW DARE YOU TRY AND DEFEND THAT EVIL LITTLE MONSTER!! HE'LL

TWIST YOUR MIND UNTIL YOU'RE NOTHING MORE THAN HIS PLAYTHING!! "

      " But Veggie's NOT a monster, he's not! " the large saiyajin sniffled, " Veggie's a good person! "

      " HE WISHED YOU BACK WITHOUT CONSULTING ANYONE!! "

      " BUT I LIKE BEING A SAIYAJIN! "

      " BUT HE WOULD NEVER TOUCH YOU AS A HUMAN! YOU'D BE HAPPIER THAT WAY!! "

      " YOU NEVER ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO BE A HUMAN! "

      " HOW COULD YOU LET HIM CHANGE YOU BACK! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PROTECT YOU FROM HIM! "

      " I DON'T NEED TO BE PROTECTED FROM VEGGIE! I'M STRONGER THAN VEGGIE! "

      " BUT YOU LET HIM WISH YOU BACK INTO A SAIYAJIN LIKE HIM! "

      " I WISHED MYSELF BACK, NOT VEGGIE! "

      Chi-Chi froze in place, her body stiff as a board.

      Goku's eyes started to water, " I'm sorry Chi-chan, but I like being me. I don't wanna be a human. "

      Chi-Chi twitched, still staring at the ground, " You're, going to choose HIM, aren't you? "

      " WHAT?! " Vegeta's face burned bright red in the background.

      " Huh? No Chi-chan I never said anything like that! " Goku pleaded.

      " Of course, why else would you go and wish yourself back into a saiyajin. To please HIM, no? Let the Ouji get you

right where he wants you. You have to make sure that VEGGIE'S happy, RIGHT? " Chi-Chi gritted her teeth and gripped the ax

tightly.

      " No! I mean, I want everyone to be happy and I am happy as a saiyajin because that's what I am. " Goku tried to

explain, confused, " Andmaybeifyouhadaskedmefirstyouwouldnthavehadtohavemadethatmeanwish!! "

      " I MADE THAT WISH TO SAVE YOU FROM HIM!!! " Chi-Chi screamed and flung her ax up in rage and into the wall just

inches above Goku's head. The large saiyajin paled and let out a shriek. Vegeta gawked at the sight of Chi-Chi starting to

chase Goku around the room with the ax the same way she had himself. The little ouji narrowed his eyes and began to growl

predatorily. Goku dashed off and was about to reach the hallway only to trip on the rug and land on his face. Chi-Chi

skidded to a halt, put one foot on Goku's back and grabbed his tail with her free hand, " Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh! YOU WANNA KNOW

WHAT I THINK ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS FOR THE OUJI!!! WELL THIS IS THE FIRST THING TO GO! " she held up the ax and took aim at

his tail.

      Goku froze in horror as he looked over his shoulder at the tail, " BIBISHII!! "

      " *GA-ZAP*!! " a sudden ki-blast knocked the ax out of Chi-Chi's hands in shock. Vegeta, who was in the middle of

running to Goku's aid, let out a yelp and ducked the ax limbo-style just in time to watch it upside-down as it careened

into one of the framed pictures sitting on the table against the wall and sliced it in-half, breaking the glass in the

process.

      " YOU! " Chi-Chi screamed angrily at Vegeta, who stared at her incrediously, seeing as he was still in the limbo-ish

position and the fact that the blast had come from the other direction.

      Goku sighed in relief as he took this moment to yank Bibishii out of Chi-Chi's grasp gave the tail a warm hug,

" Oh Bibishii-chan, that would have made 2 deaths in 2 days! "

      Bibishii shivered, nerve-shot while Goku comforted her.

      " Goku-san? Are you alright? "

      Goku blinked and looked up to see Past Chi-Chi standing there, staring down at him. The large saiyajin's eyes

widened, " NICE CHI-CHAN, YOU ARE BACK! " he squealed, jumping to his feet. Past Chi-Chi stared up, confused.

      " Huh? "

      Goku grabbed and hugged her tightly, " Oh Nice Chi-chan I missed you SO! " he spun around to face Vegeta and the

present Chi-Chi, " Look Veggie! It's the NICE Chi-chan! "

      " How in the--? " Vegeta pondered for a moment, then noticed someone grinning at him with their head poked out of the

doorway to the lab, " Ah, Bulma. " he sweatdropped.

      " I am so happy to see you, Nice Chi-chan! Mean Chi-chan was about to kill BIBISHII! " he held up his tail.

      " Uh-huhh.... " Past Chi-Chi grinned in a daze, her cheeks bright red as she hugged him back.

      " WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, "MEAN CHI-CHAN"!! WHO SAID I WAS MEAN!! " present Chi-Chi snapped. Vegeta chuckled.

      Goku sat Past Chi-Chi down, " So Nice Chi-chan, what brings you here to save me and where have you been all these

long years? " Goku chirped happily.

      " Oh brother. " Vegeta rolled his eyes.

      " Wahhh~~? " Past Chi-Chi shook the remaining daze out of her head, then looked up at Goku, " I haven't BEEN anywhere

, your friend Bulma brought me here to the future to save you! " she smiled.

      " HOORAY! " Goku cheered.

      " But she says I can only stay for about an hour or else time'll collapse on itself. " Past Chi-Chi thought outloud.

      " Awww... " Goku pouted, " And I missed u so much. "

      Vegeta took a look at past Chi-Chi. Her hair in a ponytail, her bangs in three seperate clumps, her navy blue

training gi with the red trim on the tank-top-ish shoulder-straps, her red gi pants and her white boots with the red tips.

He looked down at his own navy training uniform and glanced at himself in the nearby mirror hanging on the wall, " It's ALL

coming together now. " the ouji sweatdropped, twitching.

      " This is, Vegeta? " Past Chi-Chi pointed to him.

      Vegeta glanced back over at her.

      " Hai! But I call him Veggie for short! " Goku beamed proudly, " Isn't he CUTE! "

      " He looks too small and harmless to be an actual threat. " Past Chi-Chi pointed out curiously as she tapped Vegeta

on the head.

      The ouji sweatdropped.

      " Of COURSE Veggie's harmless! Veggie'd never hurt me EVER, would ya Veggie? " Goku grinned at him.

      " Don't..push it... " Vegeta threatened as a vein bulged on his forehead in aggitation.

      " Hey Veggie! Show Nice Chi-chan that cute lil thing you can do! " Goku gushed.

      Vegeta's cheeks flushed bright red, " SHOULDN'T YOU BE A LITTLE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE HOMICIDAL MANIAC ACROSS THE

ROOM THAN ABOUT WHAT CUTESY TRICKS I CAN PERFORM! "

      " So Veggie DOES admit its CUTE! " Goku burst into giggles. Vegeta sputtered, then let out a huff and folded his

arms.

      Past Chi-Chi looked up to see her present counterpart snarling angrily at the two saiyajins. The younger Chi-Chi

took a deep breath and glanced over at Goku, " Goku-san, please tell me she's been possessed by something? "

      " No. " Goku pouted, " Not that I know of. "

      " Ehhh.. " Past Chi-Chi paled, " You know I'm not very good at lecturing people, especially people holding very

sharp weapons like that. " she sweatdropped.

      " She tried to KILL us! " Goku wailed, " Well, by us I mean Veggie and my tail, but my tail is a part of my body

nonetheless!!! "

      Past Chi-Chi glanced over at Bibishii, who was still shaking in fright, it's fur standing on end while it twitched

unnaturally in random directions. Past Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes, then spun to face her present counterpart, " WHAT THE HECK

IS WRONG WITH YOU! TRYING TO KILL GOKU-SAN!!! "

      " Oooh. " Goku oohed.

      " Come Kakay, let's get some popcorn and grab a couple kitchen chairs and go watch. " Vegeta smirked, glad to be

out of the present Chi-Chi's attention for a little while.

      " There is nothing wrong with me, it's all the OUJI'S fault! He's trying to take Goku away and I tried to help Goku

but he wouldn't listen and he wished himself back!!! It's because of the OUJI that all of this is happening!!! "

      " Vegeta isn't the one taking an AX to your husband's HEAD! " Past Chi-Chi snapped.

      " I wasn't going to chop off his HEAD, I was just going to cut off that rotten tail! " Present Chi-Chi sneered.

      " Man I know I have a temper but I never went around chopping people's LIMBS off. " Past Chi-Chi muttered to herself,

" What turned YOU psycho all of sudden! " she glared.

      " I TOLD YOU, it's the OUJI. He's probably trying to woo Go-chan away as we speak! He's been trying it for years,

buttering Goku up with all that false cuteness and luxurious presents and adventures. HE WISHED GOKU IMMORTAL FOR CRYIN OUT

LOUD! ALONG WITH HIMSELF!! "

      Past Chi-Chi blinked and looked over to where Goku and Vegeta were sitting on kitchen chairs against the wall and

munching on a bowl of popcorn, " You're kidding. "

      " Nope, that last part about the wish is true. " Vegeta nodded, tossing more popcorn into his mouth.

      " Not to mention the fact that even WITHOUT the wish that saiyajin AGE VERY SLOWLY and can live for up to 500 YEARS!"

Present Chi-Chi added.

      " Heh, I'D like to be a saiyajin. " the past Chi-Chi chuckled, impressed.

      " DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT! THEY'RE HORRIBLE TERRIBLE CREATURES!! "

      " It looks a lot better then ending up like YOU. " Past Chi-Chi scoffed.

      " And what's wrong with ME. " Present Chi-Chi gritted her teeth.

      " Well, first of all, " Past Chi-Chi started off, " YOU DON'T ABUSE YOUR HUSBAND LIKE THAT! I'VE ONLY BEEN MARRIED A

YEAR AND I KNOW THAT MARRIED PEOPLE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO PHYSICALLY ATTACK EACH OTHER LIKE WILD ANIMALS!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE

A GENIUS TO KNOW THAT!!! "

      " Here here! " Vegeta snickered and raised his pepsi can up in her direction.

      " Veggie. " Goku sweatdropped.

      " You wanna drive your family away then going after them with an AX is SURELY the way to do it! " Past Chi-Chi

mock-laughed.

      " You forgot the bazooka. " Vegeta pointed out.

      " There's a BAZOOKA involved in this? " Past Chi-Chi sweatdropped.

      " Uh-huh. " Vegeta said flatly.

      " Second of all, " Past Chi-Chi turned back ot her counterpart, " You don't just go ahead and make life-altering

wishes onto UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE! How would YOU like it if you went to bed one night and Goku-san decided he'd like to play

with your hair and the brand-new electric-razor you bought him and he ended up SCALPING all your hair off! "

      Vegeta grinned widely so that the grin was now from ear to ear.

      Present Chi-Chi faultered, " G--Goku would never do THAT! Besides I don't trust him with technology. " she glanced

over at Vegeta and twitched, then back to her past self, " AND DON'T YOU GIVE THE OUJI IDEAS! "

      " Aww, I bet you'd look good in a wig, Onna! " Vegeta laughed.

      " SHUDDUP! " Chi-Chi tossed her ax at him. Vegeta yelped and ducked as the ax landed into the wall just a few inches

above him. Goku pulled the ax out and Vegeta sat back up.

      " Oh my this is sharp. " Goku gasped as he examined the ax.

      " THIRD, you're relying on FALSE INFORMATION WHICH IS DRIVING YOU INTO A PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA!! In other words,

you're going crazy because you're convinced that Goku-san and Vegeta are falling in love when they're NOT. I mean, LOOK at

them! Do you sense ANY feelings of passion and romance emanating from that wall over there?! " Past Chi-Chi pointed over to

where Goku and Vegeta were sitting. Vegeta still stuffing his face with popcorn while Goku performed juggling tricks with

present Chi-Chi's ax, a vase, and Dr. Briefs's cat.

      " No. Not really. " Present Chi-Chi sweatdropped.

      " Jugglilng is a healthy excercise, Chi-chans! " Goku chirped.

      Past Chi-Chi shook her head at her counterpart, " You are truely insane for wanting to change THAT! Look at him, he's

PERFECT! He's the strongest guy in the universe, he's sweet, kind, naive, loyal, clueless, and ADORABLE! And if Bulma said is

right, he'll be this way for the rest of your lifetime! That's pretty good, don'tcha think? " she grinned at Goku in

admiration.

      Present Chi-Chi turned to Goku, who glanced away from her gaze nervously, still a little frightened from his round

with her ax.

      " But the Ouji will get him this way!! " she complained.

      " Vegeta doesn't like him that way. " Past Chi-Chi blinked.

      " His FUTURE SELF will! "

      " YOU HAVE NO PROOF! " Vegeta shook his fist in the air.

      " Little Veggie is right Chi-chan. " Goku nodded.

      " YOU HAVE NO PROOF OF THAT EITHER! " Chi-Chi retorted.

      " If you keep up with this you'll end up making yourself right. " Past Chi-Chi said flatly, folding her arms.

      " WHAT?! " Chi-Chi gawked.

      " Why its one of the most clichéd problems in a relationship. " she said proudly, " One person in the relationship

becomes abusive towards the other and the heartbroken victim runs off into the arms of another he or she deems more worthy

of their love. " Past Chi-Chi said over-dramatically, " That sort of thing's in ALL the soap operas. And that's pretty much

what'll happen here, IF YOU DON'T STOP TRYING TO BEAT GOKU-SAN OVER THE HEAD WITH HOUSEHOLD OBJECTS!!! " she screamed, then

calmed down, " I mean, even Goku-san must have a limit at the number of times he can forgive you for trying to change him and

beat up his little friend there. "

      " HEY! I'M THE STRONGEST BEING ON THIS PLANET NEXT TO KAKARROTTO! " Vegeta said, insulted.

      Present Chi-Chi snickered, " Heh-heh, me beat up the Ouji, now THERE'S something I'd like to do. "

      " Hnnn.. " Goku whimpered and hugged the little ouji protectively. Vegeta's face turned bright red.

      " OOOH! YOU LET GO OF THAT EVIL LITTLE OUJI RIGHT NOW OR YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANYTHING FOR SUPPER TONIGHT!! "

      " Now that's just MEAN! " Past Chi-Chi glared at her.

      " Yeah Onna, your NICE self is right, that's a very mean thing to do--depribing Kakay of food right after he's

gotten his rightful body back. " Vegeta snickered. Chi-Chi scowled at him, then walked over and raised her hand to slap

the small saiyajin across the face only to have something grab her by the wrist.

      " HEY! YOU CUT THAT OUT WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON!! " Chi-Chi snapped at her younger counterpart.

      " YOU'RE DOING IT AGAIN! YOU'RE SMACKING AROUND GOKU-SAN'S FRIEND JUST BECAUSE OF SOME STUPID REMARK! "

      " HE'S NOT HIS FRIEND HE'S AN EVIL MANIUPULATING MONSTER AND IF YOU LIVED THROUGH WHAT I HAVE MAYBE YOU'D

UNDERSTAND THAT!! " Chi-Chi swung around and both Chi-Chis hit each other's fist at the same time, growling. Present swung

her foot up and Past easily ducked and punched Present in the jaw. Present Chi-Chi snarled and soon the two were in an

all-out brawl.

      " Well, this IS interesting! " Vegeta grinned, " Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll kill each other off. " he

snickered quietly to himself.

      " I cannot even tell who is winning. " Goku said in confusion as he watched the two Chi-Chi's attack each other,

Past Chi-Chi using a mix of her sparring style and the one Past Goku had been teaching her and Present Chi-Chi basically

using objects around the house as defense mechanisms while fighting in the only slightly rusty style she had after teaching

Goten how to spar.

      " I'm betting on the younger one. Sparring against YOU everyday forces one to sharpen their senses. " Vegeta nodded.

      " I am indeed very sneaky, little Veggie! " Goku chirped.

      " YAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! " Present Chi-Chi ran screaming at the Past one with a chainsaw in her hands, Past Chi-Chi

kicked it out of her hands, clasped both of her own hands together and flung them sideways sending the Present Chi-Chi

hurtling across the room and slamming into the wall just beneath the table holding the picture and wall she had sliced with

her ax just moments ago. Present Chi-Chi twitched slightly from the aching pain that comes with getting older. Past Ch-Chi

landed on the floor and stood in a defensive position very similar to the one Goku used.

      " Did you kill her? " Vegeta asked innocently with a mentally greedy grin on his face.

      " I'M NOT DEAD YET OUJI!! " Present Chi-Chi shook her fist at him before completely slumping to the ground.

      " If you plan to severely injure her, I can help. " he smirked at Past Chi-Chi.

      " WHY WOULD I WANT TO HURT MYSELF!! " she snapped back at him. Vegeta stared, shocked for a moment, then huffed in

a pouty way.

      " *CLAP*CLAP*CLAP*CLAP*!! " the sound of clapping hands was heard behind them. Past Chi-Chi, Vegeta, and Goku turned

around to see Vejitto and Gogeta applauding them while the rest of the group made their way up the stairs after hearing the

loud crashing sound that was made after Present Chi-Chi hit the wall.

      " HOORAY FOR THE NON-EVIL CHI-CHI! HOORAY! " Vejitto cheered.

      Past Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " The other me isn't evil, just paranoid. " she twitched.

      " WOW! You really did a number on Onna! " Gogeta grinned as he bent down near where Chi-Chi had landed, " She

deserved it though, turnin Kaasan into a human and forcing him to try and act like one too. "

      " "Kaasan"? " Past Chi-Chi's eyes bulged out of her head.

      " Nice Chi-chan, a-llow me to present to you me-n-Veggie's lil fusion-babies! " Goku grinned, glomping her from

behind, " Over here is Vejitto who is the oldest and was created by the magical portara earrings me-n-Veggie wore to fuse and

fight Buu! And Gogeta there is the youngest and was created in a different timeline where I convinced Veggie to perform the

magical fusion-dance while we were trapped inside Buu after he ate Jitto! "

      " You mean ONE OF YOU GOT THE OTHER ONE PREGENANT!? No WONDER my present self went psycho!! " Past Chi-Chi

exclaimed, shocked and disgusted.

      Vegeta's face burst into a bright red color, " NO NO NO! IT'S NOT LIKE THAT THERE WAS NO INTIMACY AT ALL!!! "

      " Fusion-babies are different from regular babies, Nice Chi-chan. " Goku explained, " They are not created by making

love, they are created by magic that combines two people together and the result is the fusion-baby who is the same age

physically as his mommy & daddy. "

      " ...oh. " Chi-Chi looked unbelievably confused.

      Goku grabbed Vegeta by the arm and chirped, " Perhaps we should demonstrate!-- "

      " NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!! " Vegeta screamed at the top of his lungs, yanking his arm away, " WHO KNOWS WHAT THE

HECK WILL HAPPEN IF I WERE TO RE-FUSE WITH YOU!!! "

      " I know I know I know! " Goku raised and waved his free arm like he were in school.

      " WHAT, KAKARROTTO? " Vegeta gritted his teeth.

      " We would give Goggie and Ji-chan their very own little brother! " Goku said sweetly.

      " YAY!! " both fusions cheered at once.

      " THEY'RE NOT GETTING A LITTLE BROTHER YOU BIG BAKAYARO!! " Vegeta screamed, his whole body now bright red.

      " What's wrong with your skin and tail? " Past Chi-Chi looked surprised.

      " Kaka-germs. The same reason Kakarrotto had YOU glowing bright red not even 15 minutes ago. " Vegeta said flatly.

      Past Chi-Chi looked down at her bare arm closely and paled to see a bunch of happy little kaka-germs bouncing up and

down on it. She quickly pulled her arm down and put both of them behind her back, " Oh my.... "

      " Son-kun what HAPPENED here!? " Bulma gawked as she and the others finally made their way into the living room.

      " There was a fight and the kaka-sparring Onna won. " Vegeta smirked. Past Chi-Chi grinned and gave the rest of the

group the peace sign with her fingers.

      " Ohhh.. " Bulma sweatdropped, then turned to Past Chi-Chi, " You were supposed to knock some sense into her, not

knock her out!! "

      " Same thing. " Past Chi-Chi shrugged, then pointed stubbornly to her counterpart, " At least I wasn't trying to

KILL MY HUSBAND like she was! " Goku glomped onto her from behind and sniffled.

      " If it helps she did TRY to talk to Onna. " Vegeta nodded.

      " As much as you can talk to someone who's nearly mental. " Past Chi-Chi rolled her eyes.

      " You know, your time's almost up, we need to send you back home. " Bulma said, glancing at her watch.

      " Can't we keep this Onna and send the one homicial one back somewhere. " Vegeta said, " I sorta like this one. " he

pointed to Past Chi-Chi, who sweatdropped.

      " Veh-GEE! That is mean! We cannot do that! " Goku pouted, then clasped his possessive hug on Past Chi-Chi even

tighter. An even larger sweatdrop appeared on the side of her head.

      " Hai, besides my Goku-san back home is probably starting to worry about where I am. " Past Chi-chi said. Goku's

bottom lip wobbled.

      " But, but, but--I LOVE YOU TOO!!! " he wailed, hugging tighter.

      " Oww oww oww oww... " Past Chi-Chi twitched, his hugging finally getting tight enough to begin to hurt.

      " Son-kun, remember, time--space--EXPLODE! " Bulma said in a sing-song voice, starting to get nervous.

      Goku pouted stubbornly for a bit, then finally and very let go of Past Chi-Chi, " I will miss you, Nice Chi-chan. "

      " And I'll miss you too--well, actually I'll see you when I get back home--but you know what I mean! " she smiled.

      " PLEASE, just stay a little bit longer! Stay and play with me! Look at this! " the large saiyajin said desperately

as he jumped infront of her and burst into ssj, then up through levels 2 to 3, " See? Isn't that cool?! "

      " VERY cool! " she said, impressed as she grabbed part of his long ssj3 hair and held it between her fingers,

" That's amazing, Goku-san! "

      " *FWOOZZE!* " everything around them suddenly rippled for a few seconds, then stopped. The entire group froze in

place, terrified.

      " Amazing, but I have to go. " Past Chi-Chi gulped, letting go of the hair.

      " But CHI-CHAAAAN! "

      " Goku! " Bulma said urgently, " Did you just feel that, that was time stretching! That's a bad thing Goku. " she

said nervously, then pushed Chi-Chi towards the lab, " Go go go!! "

      " You don't have to push ya know. " Past Chi-Chi sweatdropped.

      " But we still have to erase your memory of being here! It'll cause YET ANOTHER seperate timeline! " Bulma said,

" That was the whole purpose of me doing this instead of sending Mirai out to get you. The more timelines the more time and

space can become unbalanced and the easier it is for it all to rip apart at the seems! "

      " Well I don't care because I'm NOT letting you erase ANYTHING from my head. " Past Chi-Chi said stubbornly.

      " What. " Bulma face-faulted.

      " I'm certainly not going to end up like HER over there! " she pointed to present Chi-Chi who was still slumped and

partially unconsious against the wall, " When I get back home I'm going to make sure I NEVER turn into that! If HE, " she

pointed to Mirai, " gave YOU GUYS the chance to change your future then I should be allowed to change mine as well! "

      " Me too! " Vegeta grinned, chiming in, then let out a mental snort, ::Kakarroujo indeed::

      " YOU, don't need to time-travel. " Bulma twitched, " Infact you're the last person we NEED to be off time-traveling!

"

      " No, my potential FUTURE-self is the one who shouldn't be time-traveling. IT'S HIS FAULT KAKARROTTO HAS AN, AN,

OFFICIAL SAIYAJIN NO OUJO COSTUME! MY FUTURE-SELF IS MOCKING ME WITH ONE OF MY DEEPEST AND DARKEST FEARS!!! " Vegeta ranted.

      " Uh-huh. " Bulma said flatly.

      " What's he talking about? " Past Chi-Chi asked, confused.

      " Trust me, you don't wanna know. " Mirai twitched, embarassed, " Let's just get you back home. "

      " Alright. " she said, then waved back to Goku, " BYEBYE GOKU-SAN! "

      Goku whimpered and waved sadly goodbye, his hands shaking with the need to stop her from leaving. He heard present

Chi-Chi make a noise from behind him and frighteningly schooched away from her a bit. He watched as Mirai closed the door

behind them to the lab. Goku's eyes filled up to the brim with tears, " Why must they bring Nice Chi-chan back to me and then

take her a-way? " he squeaked out.

      " Ah, hey there, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said uneasily as he cautiously approached the larger saiyajin, " It's alright

you know. The non-murderous Onna will be, ah, safer back where her murderous future-self can't harm her. "

      Goku slowly turned to the little ouji with a dreamy look in his tear-filled eyes, causing Vegeta to freeze on the

spot and burst into a bright red color, " Oh Veggie... " he said quietly, then launched himself at the smaller saiyajin

and tackled him to the ground, " OH VEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIETHANKYOUFORBEINGHEREFORMEEEEEE!!! " he wailed, smushing Vegeta between

himself and the kitchen floor, as he had knocked Vegeta out from the living room into the kitchen on his tackle, " Veggie,

will not go away and leave me like Nice Chi-chan did. Veggie will not change into a mean person like Nice Chi-chan did either

, Veggie never changes, Veggie's always the same even when everyone else is changing on me. " the large saiyajin's bangs

covered his eyes. Goku smiled, " I like that. "

      Vegeta felt his limbs ready to go into spasms from being in his current position. He was sure if that didn't go then

he'd surely end up frying his back from the heat he was sending into the cold tiled floor, " Y--you're welcome. "

      " I luv u Veggie. " Goku smiled warmly, hugging Vegeta even tighter and causing the ouji to practically radiate the

bright red color.

      " ! "

      " Ohhhh... " Present Chi-Chi sat up and groaned with pain. She noticed Goku and Vegeta in the other room and sent a

tired glare at them, then formed a fist only to find there was something beneath her hand. Chi-Chi glanced down. It was the

photograph that had fallen victim to her ax while chasing Goku around with the ax and swinging it at him. It was a small,

5 x 7 copy of her and Goku's wedding photo. Once the pictures had developed shortly after the wedding day, they both went

around giving copies to all their friends. Her ax had split the picture in two, leaving Chi-Chi on one half of the picture

and Goku on the remaining half. She squinted her eyes shut, dropped the photos, and covered her eyes with her hands. Chi-Chi

quietly wept.

      The Past....one year pre-Gohan...5 minutes later...

      " Ohh. " Goku sniffled as he tossed another apple into his mouth. The large saiyajin paused when something suddenly

reappeared in the air a few feet infront of him and promptly fell to the ground.

      " OOF! "

      " CHI-CHAN! You came back! " Goku chirped happily as he bounced over to her. Chi-Chi struggled to her feet, " Where

did you go? "

      Chi-Chi groaned in pain as she stood up, " Would you believe "the future"? "

      " The future? " Goku blinked.

      " Mmm-hmm. " she stretched a bit, " Geez, I wish they had just dropped me off where they picked me up. Or at least

let me land on my feet. " Chi-Chi dusted herself off.

      " How far in the future? " Goku tossed another apple into his mouth.

      " 20 years. "

      Goku gawked an almost chocked on his apple, " T--TWENTY YEARS! " he calmed down, his eyes still wide, " That is a

LONG TIME, Chi-chan. So! What's the future like? " he grinned.

      Chi-Chi faultered, " Ah, forget it. Because THIS future's gonna be a lot better than that one! HAHAHA! " she laughed

boastfully, then grabbed one of the apple-baskets and headed inside. Goku grabbed the remaining one and followed her, " Say,

Goku-san? " she asked, smiling over her shoulder, " How about we enter the next Tenkaichi Budokai together! "

      Goku beamed, " YEAH! You really mean it! " he gushed.

      " Of course! You wanna defend your title, don't ya? "

      " HAI!! The strongest under the heavens!! " the large saiyajin cheered, " Let's start training tommorow huh? "

      " Sure! " Chi-Chi opened the door and went inside.

      " You're gonna be the best sparring partner NEVER, Chi-chan! " Goku grinned as he ran inside and started to bounce

around happily.

      Chi-Chi smiled, a happy, healthy, equal relationship with the man she loved; space alien or not, " By the way,

Goku-san? " she said as she set the apples down on the table.

      " Hm? "

      " If I EVER start rambling about killing Oujis and naming our first child "Einstein", slap me silly, will ya? "

      " Oh-kee Doh-kee Chi-chan! " Goku grinned cheerfully, giving her a thumbs-up sign even though he was clueless as to

what she just said.

      Deep in space, a small little furry-tailed alien stood staring off into the stars, curiously focused on an odd little

blueish-green planet. He tilted his head slightly, " Kakarrotto. "

      " Hey Vegeta? You say something? " Raditsu called from the campsite just 10 feet away from him where he and Nappa

were eating some strange animal-meat.

      Vegeta shook his head clear, confused as to why he had even said the word. After all, he hadn't seen Kakarrotto since

he was only 7. And the peasant at the time was only 2, " Huh, weird. " he scratched his head as to why the other saiyajin had

even crossed his mind.

      " Vegeta? " Nappa said, baffled.

      " It's nothing. " Vegeta shrugged it off, returning to the campsite. He grabbed a piece of meat and held it out near

the fire to cook it, " Let's eat! "

THE END!

Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) Interesting ending.

Chuquita: The 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai episodes are airing, I blame that as the influence. (grins) Although the Piccolo Jr VS

Goku battle does have me on the edge of my seat. Some very creative stunts Toriyama's had both characters pull :D

Goku: (chirps) I am a very creative saiyajin indeed, Chu-sama!

Chuquita: I liked Son's feet-kamehameha, his tornado, jumping inside Piccolo's mouth to pull Kami out, the mega-kamehameha,

and the grinning zip-out-of-the-way-just-in-time thing you did yesterday. It was like that trick you tried to pull on Freeza

and chop him in half only it actually worked on Piccolo--and it was just a ki-ball, not a slicing ki-ball. I liked Piccolo's

stretchable arms, electric-zapping antennae, and super-size tecniques. (grins) Infact, now that I've finally seen that

particular episode, I have the info to write my next Piccolo one-shot in which Piccolo uses the super-size technique to try

and take over the world. Then Dende learns the technique and tries to stop him, and ironically it's Mr. Popo who saves the

day!; though I can't tell you how just yet cuz it'd ruin the story.

Vegeta: Am I in it?

Chuquita: You have your fair share of lines like in the other Piccy-fics.

Vegeta: (smirks) Good.

Chuquita: I have such inspiration for this one AND the one I'm doing next (the Goggie parody one).

Vegeta: Don't have a name for THAT ONE yet either, huh?

Chuquita: Well, the Piccolo one-shot's gonna be called "Super-size!", named after the original name of the technique (I

don't remember hearing him give it a name in the dub). But no, I'm not sure what to call the Goggie parody yet. I was

thinking maybe name it after the movie's theme song "Saiyako Fyuujon" (I could swear that's not how you spell saiyako though,

anyone knows a different spelling, please tell me ^_^;; ) I mean I've never used a japanese title for a fic before and it'd

be pretty cool as its own sorta one-shot thing. The title's supposed to give a hint about what the fic's about, heck the

song nearly summarizes the movie.

Vegeta: (snorts, Mr. Grumpy) I dislike that song, it's too MUSHY!

Chuquita: Hey, I didn't write the lyrics, somebody working on the movie did.

Vegeta: (grumbles) It's still too mushy.

Chuquita: I dunno if anyone else has used the title before though. I could be pulling it from somewhere in my memory or just

assuming that it's been used before.

Goku: (laughs) Of course it has it's the title of the song!

Chuquita: I have to find the story I had this song's lyrics to in. I know I wrote its title in there. (thinks) WHEE! I

found--nope.

Vegeta: (sweatdrops)

Chuquita: I was thinking of the fic w/the kareoke songs in the Corners. I'll find it, hold on a second.

Goku: (blinks, tilts his head) What do we do while she's looking?

Vegeta: (shrugs) Sit here, I guess.

Goku: ...I still think it's a nice song.

Vegeta: IT'S NOT NICE IT'S MUSHY!

Goku: (grins) Nice AND mushy.

Vegeta: ...*twitch*...

Chuquita: ...*sigh*, I can't find it. I'm going online. I think the lyrics are bookmarked somewhere.

Goku: (chirps) Goodluck!

Chuquita: (grins) Found it! It's Saikyou no Fyuujon! I just mixed up the word w/saiyajin before! (nods happily)

Goku: Hooray!

Vegeta: ...*twitch*...

Chuquita: (grins) Ah, the "graceful rose" line!

Vegeta: (turns pale green) Ech, the "graceful rose" line. Stupid mushy song.

Chuquita: It's only mushy if you analyze it. If you just listen to it the mushy lines just go completely over your head.

Goku: Little Veggie an-ee-lyzes everything!

Vegeta: (snorts)

Chuquita: Hey I've found MUCH stranger dbz sub songs. It's fun sometimes to guess which character they're about. I found one

just now that would very easily apply to future Veggie & future Son-kun.

Vegeta: (clicks out of box, Chu sweatdrops at him) BUT, we're not going to talk about that now because instead we're going

to reply to the reviews.

Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Vedge the lyrics aren't that bad, I would never put you on the spot like that anyways, you know that.

Vegeta: ...I semi-believe you.

Chuquita: Uh-huh. (sweatdrops) (to audiance) Anyways, here's the reviewer replies!:

To Rissa of the Saiya-Jin: Thanks! Veggie does care so much about his peasant!

Vegeta: (grins) And now that "present Onna" has near-destroyed Kakay's image of her, I have an even greater chance of

winning!

To Goddess Shimi: Thank you for the cookies!

Vegeta: Mmm! (nods, eating some)

Goku: Cookies are yummy! (stuffs some in his mouth, swallows) Such a pretty Veggie-oujo costume!

Chuquita: Everyone'll get to see Veggilina once I finish the last strip of my "Geta" comic and start to upload it!

Goku: Heehee, Veggie gets turned into a girl, again!

Vegeta: (twitches)

Goku: I even get to give 'Geta' a smoochie!

Vegeta: OFF-SCREEN.

Goku: (chirps) Offscreen!

Vegeta: (reads Goten's question) If that were to happen, I would fear for my life, and my sanity. And fear even MORE for my

sanity once I gave birth to what would no doubt in irony end up as a large litter of mush-brained kaka-babies. (shudders)

Which is why I never drink when I'm around Kakarrotto.

Goku: (pokes Veggie's belly) CAN little Veggies grow babies inside?

Vegeta: (snaps) OF COURSE I CAN'T!!! (mutters) At least I hope at can't...WELL YOU'LL NEVER FIND OUT ANYWAY, KAKARROTTO!

Goku: (blinks cluelessly) ...?

Vegeta: (snorts) (to himself) I refuse to be a vessel used to procreate kaka-germs throughout the land until we are all

nothing more than kaka-serving-servants!!

Goku: ...wha???

Chuquita: Next letter!

To SacredGoggles: Well I can't kill off Chi-Chi seeing as it would really speed the storyline along way too fast. Son-kun IS

a saiyajin again though! *grins*. I felt so bad for Son-kun that I just couldn't let the pain last any longer and gave it

only 3 chapters instead of 4.

Goku: (happily) That is bee-cause I am such a kawaii lil saiyajin, huh?

Chuquita: Yup!

To Musoka14: I think you used the key that fanfiction.net mistakes for html by accident and that's why the rest of your

sentence/review is missing. They take it out if it looks like an html code. Sorry!

To DBZSaiyan: Chi-Chi has indeed learned her lesson the hard way. She's just found out she's only digging herself into a

deeper hole. Goku's so cute! The magic-marker tattoo part was fun to do :)

To Cathowl: Veggie's very protective of his peasant, he only has one :) If I had Goku & Vegeta plushies, I'd put them

somewhere in my room, depending on how big they would be. (countertop if they're small, on the floor if they're large).

Goku: (blinks) Veggie what kind of position is a por--

Vegeta: (slaps his hand over Son's mouth) It's-not-important! (cheesy grin) (to Cathowl) Of course, unless Onna does

something truely horrifying to Kakay which makes this story's attack of her to him seem like giving Kakay a papercut, I plan

to watch her suffer the fate of aging until she is too old to move and stuck gumming peas through a straw. (big evil grin)

To LA~: Ah, it wasn't supposed to be a horror fic. ^_^;; I do admit I did sorta over-use the screaming in the previous

chapters. I haven't done that in a while because, well, I haven't needed it. But I did need it for this fic.

To Musoka14: Well Veggie?

Vegeta: (grins) Oh I intend to make Onna pay, you can count on it!

Chuquita: I've actually just this second gotten an inspiration on how!

Vegeta: (smirks) Really?

Chuquita: Hai~! It'll add yet another future fic to my list too! What if as a present/test/another-way-to-drive-Chi-Chi-

-closer-to-the-brink-of-insanity, Veggie allows Son-kun to a saiyajin oujo for a day.

Vegeta: WAHH! (falls over)

Goku: (w/big sparkily eyes) Reaaaaaaaally?

Chuquita: It could be either to get the idea out of Goku's system for good, or show him how 'bad' it can be having to be

an oujo, that sorta thing.

Goku: WHEEEEE!!

Vegeta: (twitches) (gets up) WOULD it get that ridiculous notion out of Kakarrotto's brain?

Chuquita: Who knows? I thought it up just now. (makes note to put new fic idea on her list of future fic ideas)

To Nuki: I can't WAIT to get to the Goggie Parody fic (whatever I decide to title it). I have so many ideas for it :D

Goku: (warm smiles) Aww, thank u for the compliment!

Vegeta: What compliment?

Goku: (points to review) That I am still handsome no matter how old I am and/or look. (beams proudly)

To Miyanon: Glad you like it! Actually Chi-Chi's slowly been going insane over the course of the stories. (points to

older fics) If you've ever seen any of the old ones she's perfectly (well, almost perfectly) sane in them. Veggie's

schemes, ya know. :) The job interviews were fun! Inspired from movie 8. Goku's past is way too weird for anyone to

believe his resume. Originally I had Shenlong in a normal tourist hot-spot somewhere, but giving him his own island

seemed to fit better. He always seems a little impatient in the show and I doubt he's one to wait in line for a snow-cone

or somethin. Hope you enjoyed part 3!

To Saiyajin-Neko: Glad you liked the job interviews too! :D Dende feels bad for Shenlong and unshrinks him in the next

story (he's summoned in the Goggie movie, I'll explain there) Chi-Chi gets actually humorously tortured in the Goggie

fic for something she does in the beginning of it.

To Groovejet: Well, Chi-Chi sorta won. The Past Chi-Chi, anyway. So now there's another timeline in which she doesn't

start to lose her mind and ends up staying the nice friendly sparring would-never-change-Goku person she was in db.

To Callimogua: Thanks so much!! Veggie is clever, isn't he? *grins*

Vegeta: (big smirk) Yes, that I am.

Goku: Heeheehee.

To Goddess Shimi: Yes, actually. (grins) If I decide to write the remainder to the Veggie-version for "Lost in Space!"

(part 5) then yes, Veggie would end up in the little pink lingurie dress. He'd be completely embarassed though, but Veggie

bounces back from semi-humiliating trama well.

Vegeta: (twitches) I hope you don't add on that last part.

Chuquita: (grins) I may, I mean, I do have a few more gt episodes that I'd like to parody. I dunno if I'd just add their

chapters to that story or put them in a new one, but I definately will parody at least 2 more gt eps; likely sub ones

since the gt ones airing now only air once a week and it'll be forever til they get to the end. (to audiance) And that's

the end of the replies!

Goku: (cheers) Hooray!

Chuquita: (glances outside at giant thunderstorm) And now let's wrap this up before we all get struck by

lightning! (a little nervous)

Goku: (yelps at sudden clap of thunder outside, grabs Veggie and hugs him tightly) I will not let the lightening zap MY

little Veggie!!

Vegeta: (bright red) (squeaks out) Hai....

Chuquita: (storm temporarily slows down) (calms down a bit) Goodbye everybody! We'll see you in the next fic! Whatever it's

titled!

Goku: (protectively hugging Veggie) (waves happily) Byebye!!

Vegeta: (bright red) (small dazed smile) Uh-huhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~~
