Quote of the Week: -from dbz ep #237 "For the Sake of My Loved Ones...Vegeta Falls"
Veggie: Let me give you a hug.
Chuey's Corner:
(Present Goku, Past Goku, and Future Goku standing there with their arms open as if awaiting said hug)
Vegeta: (slams his head forward on the desk)
Chuquita: Heeheehee.
Vegeta: (grumbles) I hate it when things I say are taken out of context.
Past Goku: (glomps onto Veggie's arm) Vehdgee niiice!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Uh-huh. (gets up and tries to pull the chibi off his arm)
Goku: Veggie's VERY nice! (glomps onto Vegeta's other arm)
Vegeta: (twitches)
Future Goku: (glomps Veggie from behind) (soothingly) Very VERY nice~~
Vegeta: (lets out a strangled yelp) (glowing bright red) .....*twitch*....*twitch*twitch*...
Chuquita: (grins) So many fun quotes in ep 237. :D (sits back and looks through its script)
Vegeta: (tries his best to keep from succumbing to the kaka-germs) Will you let GO! (looks down and sweatdrops) Future
Kakarrotto?
Future Goku: (sighs happily) Hai, V-sama...
Vegeta: (flatly) Are those your hands, around my waist.
Future Goku: ....maybe. (lets out a shy little giggle)
Vegeta: (bright red again) (twitches) ... (glances over at Chu) WILL YOU MAKE THEM LET GO ALREADY!!!
Goku: (pouts) But I do not want to let go of Veggie. (grins and points to the quote's title) I am one of Veggie's
"loved ones"! (pauses) But not in the context the word "love" is usually used in this fanfiction. (big cheesy grin)
Vegeta: ...uh-huh.
Past Goku: (slides off Veggie's arm and lands on the desk, his diaper softening the fall) Haha~!
Vegeta: (waves his now-free arm around) Well, there's one.
Chuquita: Two more to go Veggie!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) I know THAT! You're just enjoying my PLIGHT! Aren't you?
Chuquita: ... (pulls script back up so it blocks her face) Heehee.
Vegeta: (mutters) Yeah I thought so.
Goku: Mmm, Veggie's arm is *WARM*.
Vegeta: Ah, haha. (smirks) You know what else is "*warm*", Kakarrotto?
Goku: (w/big sparkily eyes) ...what, Veggie?
Vegeta: Chocolate-chip cookies, Kakarrotto. Big warm gooey chocolate-chip cookies; fresh from the oven and made by a certain
ouji for a certain peasant.
Goku: (big eager smile on his face)
Vegeta: And all that certain peasant would have to do for his ouji to bake such delicious cookies for him would be to let go
of his ouji's arm and sit back down in his chair like a good little kaka-peasant.
Goku: (while still smiling widely, slides off Veggie's arm like butter and plops into his chair) Mmm~~ cookies!!!
Vegeta: (grins victoriously) NOW, (glances back at Future Goku only to double-take that the large saiyajin now is resting
his head on Vegeta's shoulder) ...what are you doing?
Future Goku: (sighs contently) V-sama ALWAYS lets me hold him like this when I'm a lil sleepy.
Vegeta: True, but I'm not "V-sama".
Goku: (chrips) Yet.
Vegeta: ... (glares at him)
Goku: (does get it and instead happily waves back to him) :)
Vegeta: Oh I give up with this plan! (grabs Future Goku's hands and tries to yank them off his waist) YOU LET GO OF ME RIGHT
NOW OR I SWEAR I'LL-- (Future Goku lets go) ... (turns around to see Future Goku holding Veggie's tail now instead of his
waist) ..well, that's a slight improvement.
Future Goku: (starts sweetly massaging Veggie's tail)
Vegeta: (shrieks) HEY WAIT! DON'T DO THA--ahhhhhhhhhhhh.. (slumps in place and goes into a daze) Oh God.....
Future Goku: (grins) Heeheeheee~~
Veggie's Tail: (glances back at Veggie, then knocks Future Goku's hands away, flings up, and smacks Veggie across the back of
the head)
Vegeta: (suddenly alert again) Wa--wha?! (whips around to see Future Goku standing there blankly, wiggling his fingers in
Veggie's direction) ... O_O (suspicously watches Future Goku while walking back to his chair to sit down) Ah, haha. Yeah.
Future Goku: (gingerly sits down in the chair next to him) :)
Vegeta: (suspicious) You know, more about a saiyajin's tail than your present counterpart.
Future Goku: (nods sweetly)
Vegeta: Hai...WELL DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!!
Future Goku: (blinks) (windblown from the loudness of Veggie's voice) ?
Chuquita: And now, part 2! Happy 12 Days of Christmas, everybody!
Goku: (cheers) HURRAH!
Summary: Christmas time is here again. While Goku and Chi-Chi go present-shopping for Veggie, the ouji himself is doing his
best to rid his home of every mistletoe inside it, which will be quite difficult since Bura keeps finding different places to
pop them up in. Meanwhile a confused Raditsu has to deal with his first snowstorm and snowball fight curtesy of Goku, Vejitto
, and Gogeta. But what happens when the snowstorm turns into a blizzard and traps both Goku and Vegeta outside of Capsule
Corp and unable to get back in? Will the two saiyajin be able to find some way to teleport back inside? Or will they end up
having the get through the night sharing each other's body-heat?
Chuquita: (to Son) So? Decided on a nickname for your niichan yet?
Goku: (lets go of list of nicknames, which unravels to reveal the fact that it is very very long) ...I am getting there.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) ...
*****************************************************************************************************************************
:::" Oh Vegeta, I love you, do you love me? " Bulma sighed happily as they held onto each other.
" I--- " Vegeta started to say.
" --heeheehee. " a little giggle came from off in the blank background. The ouji froze in place.
Bulma stared down at him, concerned, " Vegeta? Vegeta! " she shook him a bit.
Vegeta slowly spun around only to have his eyes widen at the sight about 10 steps away from them, Goku standing there
innocently in his saiyajin oujo costume. The large saiyajin smiled shyly at Vegeta, then fixed his oujo sash a bit, blushing
a light pink in the cheeks.
Goku winked at Vegeta who seemingly went into a trance.
Bulma glanced from one saiyajin to the other, uneasy, " Ah, Vegeta? Are you oh-kay? " she looked up, " Son-kun? "
" Heehee. " Goku giggled again, motioning Vegeta towards him.
The little ouji turned to Goku and hypnotically took a step.
Bulma felt something leap in her throat as everything around them faded just a little bit, " Vegeta! Vegeta stop!
Come BACK! "
The ouji took another step and everything with the two saiyajin's exception faded again.
Bulma suddenly began to feel tired and shook her head, " OOH! VEGETA! WHERE ARE YOU GOING! WHAT ABOUT ME! " she
exclaimed, her hands balled up in fists. Bulma suddenly looked down at them and gasped to see her hands starting to get
wrinkles. Vegeta took another dazed step and even more wrinkles appeared. Bulma looked up. Vegeta was only 7 steps away from
Goku now. He took two more, " Ohhhh! " she groaned suddenly, then quickly pulled a mirror out of her pants pocket and looked
into only to gasp. Each step Vegeta took caused everything around him to grow 5 years older. Bulma gasped again; that was why
she hadn't noticed a change in Vegeta and Goku's aging--because saiyajins aged so slowly. Everything was now 25 years older,
" VEGETA STOP! SON-KUN!! SON-KUN WAKE HIM UP!! "
Goku seemed oblivious to her and held out his arms sweetly as if waiting to hug the little ouji. Vegeta took two more
steps and was now only 3 away from Goku.
" V E G E T A!! " Bulma screamed, then went to run off towards him and dashed between him and Goku as Vegeta took
his 8th step, " WHAT ARE YOU DOING!! STOP YOURSELF ALREADY!! THAT'S GOKU, OH-KAY! G O K U!!! "
Vegeta took his 9th step and walked right through her.
Bulma froze in place, " Vegeta? " she spun back around so she could face them. Vegeta took one final step while Goku
reached down and held the ouji tightly, causing Vegeta to burst into the bright red color. Bulma's arms hung at her sides as
Goku slowly bent towards the ouji and puckered up.
" Mistletoe. " Goku said sweetly, his mouth still puckered as he leaned towards Vegeta.
" *KA-BOOM*!!! "
Bulma's eyes bugged out of her head. Vegeta exploded and sent hundreds of little tiny red blobs flying out in every
direction and splattering all over Bulma.
Bulma's bottom right eyelid twitched, " ...Vegeta? " she said weakly, then bolted to attention as something tapped
her on the shoulder. She smiled and turned around, " Vegeta? " she said hopefully.
" Hey, baby. " Yamcha grinned at her, lifting his eyebrows.
Bulma let out a shriek of pure terror, " NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! ":::
" ..and that was my dream last night. " Bulma finished shakily as she poured something into a beaker in her lab.
Raditsu cocked an eyebrow, " Ah, you DO know that saiyajins don't explode when you kiss them, right? "
" WELL HE DID IN MY DREAM! " she exclaimed.
" ...are, you a real live mad-scientist? " he asked.
" I'm getting there. " Bulma said dryly, shaking the beaker lightly.
" Then, that would explain why you've, strapped me to the wall. " Raditsu sweatdropped.
" Yes. Yes it would. " Bulma nodded, " Sometimes doing experiments calms me down after I've had a stressful
experiance. " she accidently dropped the beaker, which melted through the floor.
Raditsu let out a small whimper of uneasyness, " ..what are you going to do? "
" Oh, you know, just give you a checkup, run a few tests. " Bulma pulled out an abnormally large needle, " The logic
of science should relieve me of the stress and confusion of that terrible dream. " she said, then shuddered, " Yamcha...ech."
" KAKARROTTO!! " Raditsu yelled up at the ceiling, " KAKARROTTO I NEED YOU NOW!!! "
" Yes Ditsu-chan! " Goku's voice chirped.
Raditsu glanced to his left to see Goku suddenly standing there cluelessly, " ...what? "
" I am still ex-peri-menting with possible nicknames for my niichan! " Goku said happily, " OH! And Veggie's here
too. " he motioned to Vegeta, who was standing next to him.
" Hi Vegeta. "
" Hi Raditsu. "
" ...Bulma's under stress I see. " Vegeta said casually.
" I couldn't find you and I just spotted him wandering around our kitchen, so-- " Bulma butted in, laughing nervously
, " --here he is! "
" She does this to me sometimes when she's under stress. " Vegeta explained to Raditsu.
" Oh. " the larger saiyajin squeaked out, " ...can you get me out now? "
" I can! " Goku volunteered, then pressed a button on the wall which caused the straps to instantly release Raditsu
and send him falling to the floor onto his bottom, " There you go, Raddie! "
" ...? " Raditsu blinked, then shook his head.
" I have many possible nicknames for my favorite niichan! " Goku replied.
" Ah. " Raditsu said, getting up. He glanced over at Vegeta, " I'm his ONLY ni-- "
" --let it go. " Vegeta said flatly.
" Maybe I should just go back to where I was sitting up there. " Raditsu motioned to the stairs.
" The kitchen. " Vegeta added.
" Kitchen? "
" Where food is found! " Goku chirped.
" Really? " Raditsu said, interested.
" Hai, Dits-kun! "
" ? "
" Many MANY possible nicknames! "
" Oh-kay. " Raditsu said, then turned to climb the stairs, " Well, I'm off to find some food then. "
" Goodluck! " Goku waved him off.
Vegeta turned to Bulma, " So, I'm guessing you had another dream too, huh? "
" You had another? "
" I had one within one, actually. " Vegeta thought outloud, then shuddered involuntarily, " Ughh..I was handcuffed
to a wedding-dress-wearing Kakarrotto in my bed. "
" In mine, after Son-kun kissed you on the lips, you exploded into a million little glowing red blobs." Bulma gulped.
" ...you win. " Vegeta admitted, his eyes wide with shock.
" I think mine had a meaning to it actually. "
" My dream was just my brain misfiring several things that had happened to me before I took the nap. Bura asking
about what was in the ring-box, the mistletoe, Kakarrotto winking, my encounter with Kakarrotto at the mall. " Vegeta rattled
off.
" Mine had to do with Son-kun slowly seducing you over the course of 50 years where each of the 10 steps you took
towards him counted for 5 years and we all aged with each of your steps except I aged much faster because you're both
saiyajins and...I'm not sure what that has to do with Son-kun's kiss causing you to explode, but, well I have most of it
figured out, that's good, right? "
Vegeta smiled at her and patted Bulma on the shoulders, " Bulma Bulma Bulma, think about what you're saying.
Kakarrotto-- " he pointed to Goku, who had a clueless, happy look on his face with his head tilted and his tongue sticking
out the side of his smiling mouth, " --SEDUCING me. " he pointed to himself and smirked at her intelligently.
Bulma calmed down and smiled, " You're right. Goku doesn't know a thing about what seducing is or how to even do it.
After all, he's, he's Goku. "
" Chi-chan says I am not a-llowed to sedu-size anybody who isn't her and especially not little Veggie. " Goku nodded.
" Wait, you know what that word you mispronounced means?! " Bulma gasped.
Vegeta thought for a moment, " Hai...I do have a fuzzy memory of Kakarrotto telling me sometime earlier that he knew
but was not allowed to seduce people. " he looked back over his shoulder and shrieked to see how suddenly close Goku was
behind him, still smiling cluelessly, " Ah, ah haha...ha. " Vegeta laughed nervously.
" Will Veggie-chan a-llow me a free demonstration? " Goku said cheerfully.
" Ah, the fuzzy-memory in my head is screaming "NO" at the top of its lungs so I really don't think---whoop! " Vegeta
yelped as the larger saiyajin grabbed and dipped the ouji down towards the floor, then touched noses with him.
" You have the most gorgeous eyes I have ever gazed upon. " Goku said smoothly, then chirped back in his regular
tone of voice, " MISTLETOE-SMOOCH! " he tilted the ouji's head sideways and layed a big wet drooly smooch onto Vegeta's cheek
, " NANANANANANANANNNN--MWAH! " he let go and Vegeta fell to the floor, bright red, dazed, and now foaming at the mouth,
" And now I will aid my Ditsu-chan in his hunt for snacks! " Goku announced, then happily skipped up the stairs like nothing
had happened.
" Holy crap he CAN be seductive if he wants to. " Bulma said in shock, then glanced down at Vegeta, " Eep! I'm comin
Vegeta! I'm comin! " she dashed over the counter, grabbed a bottle of "Peasant-Away", and promptly sprayed Vegeta down with
it, " There. " she said as the redness started to fade from Vegeta's face as the kaka-germs dissolved into a puddle on the
floor. Bulma lookd at her can of "Peasant-Away" victoriously, " I am such a genius! AND there's not a single side-effect of
the spray! "
" Naaaaa. Naaaaaa. " a gigantic 8 foot tall Kaka-germ composed of the previously dissolved gangs of them crawled
about Vegeta's room while random objects belonging to the ouji were sucked into it's transparent-tummy. The monster-sized
Kaka-germ flopped onto Vegeta's bed and let out a huge purr, " AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~~ "
Bulma beamed, " Yup! No side-effects at all! "
" Hmm... " Raditsu scratched his head as he stared at the bag from the freezer he held in his hands, " Pizza-rolls. "
he ripped open the bag and took one out, " ...these don't look like rolls, they look like, stuffed rectangles. "
" Niichan!! " Goku exclaimed happily, appearing beside him.
" WAHH! " Raditsu nearly feel backward. He sweatdropped and stood up, " Promise me you'll teach me how to do that. "
" Teleport? " Goku cheerfully cocked his head.
" Yes. "
" K! " Goku nodded, " I will put it on my list of things-I-am-giving-my-brother-for-Christmas! " he whipped out a
list on a piece of paper and wrote down on it, " Teach..Raditsu..to teleport. Got it! " he put the paper and pencil away,
" So! Whatcha doin with that pizza-roll? "
" It's not a roll, it's a rectangle. " Raditsu sweatdropped, holding it out to him.
Goku squinted his eyes at the snack, then gasped in surprise, " So it is! The bag has been LYING to us! " he pointed
to the bag containing the other pizza-rolls, then grinned at Raditsu, " Wanna make 'um? "
" Aren't they already made? "
Goku laughed, " Hahahaheeheehee, oh Raditsu-chan you are silly! You need to cook them in the oven or else they will
hurt your teeth when you bite into them! "
" Oh-kay. " Raditsu said, then looked around the room, confused, " The oven is.... "
" ... " Goku put his fist over his mouth in equal puzzlement, " Ooh, Chi-chan does not let me into the kitchen very
often for fear I will blow things up. "
" I'm not that good of a cook either, if it helps you feel any better. "
Goku beamed and glomped him, " SEE! Another thing we have in common as FAMILY! "
Raditsu laughed nervously, pushing Goku off, " Uh, heh-heh...right. "
Goku waddled around the kitchen, then stopped as he walked infront of a large black furniture, " AHHH! This is it!
The OVEN! " he pulled a handle and opened it, then grinned, " HAHA! I've seen THIS before! This looks like where Chi-chan
puts the cookies and baked goods and cooked goods so they can bake and cook! "
Raditsu looked into the oven, " Well then, let's make some 'pizza-rolls'! " he confidently put the bag into the oven,
then closed the door shut. The brothers happily waited infront of the oven.
" ... "
" ... "
" I am not a cooking expert, Su-san, but I think we're doing something wrong. " Goku tilted his head, then opened
the oven door again.
Raditsu cocked an eyebrow, " Did you just call me Susan? "
" ... "
" ... "
" Cheesecake? " Goku bolted to attention, looking around randomly and further confusing his brother.
" Ah, right. " Raditsu sweatdropped.
" Here's the problem! " Goku said happily as he took the bag back out, " When Chi-chan puts things in the oven, they
are ALWAYS on these dark platters, like this! " he grabbed a navy-colored platter off the top of the stove.
" Ah, so the oven is rejecting our request because we're not putting the 'pizza-rolls' on one of these things? "
Raditsu nodded as if it were the most logical thing in the world.
" Exactly! " Goku dropped the pizza-rolls out of the bag and onto the platter, then put it back in the oven and
re-closed the door.
" I'm glad YOU know what you're doing, Kakarrotto. " Raditsu said, impressed.
" HEE~~! " Goku grinned.
" Now what? "
" Now we wait for 7 minutes! " Goku nodded. He and Raditsu sat down at the table.
7 Minutes Later...
" WHY IS IT STILL COLD!! " Goku wailed as he held out the still-frozen pizza-roll he had bitten into.
" Maybe we should threaten it. " Raditsu glared at the oven, forming a ki-ball.
" I don't get it! " Goku exclaimed, " It always works when Veggie or Chi-chan does it!! "
" TOUSSAN AND RADITSU-SAN!! "
" KAASAN AND RADITSU-SAN!! " two voices said excitedly and simaltaniously.
Goku and Raditsu turned to the doorway to the kitchen to see Vejitto and Gogeta standing there.
" Ahh, my nephews! " Raditsu grinned, " You can help me threaten the oven! "
" ... "
" ... " both fusions stared blankly.
" Excuse me, what? " Vejitto cocked an eyebrow while Gogeta scratched his head, puzzled.
" The oven won't cook us yummy pizza-rolls, Ji-chan and Goggie. " Goku pouted.
" Hahaha! Oh Toussan you are funny! " Vejitto clasped his hands together, " You can't ORDER an oven to cook stuff
for you. You have to switch it on! " he walked up to the temperture knob, then turned it up to 425'F, " There! Now give it
a minute and then put 'um in! " he said cheerfully.
" AND you have to remember to space 'um apart or else they'll explode onto each other! " Gogeta happily added.
Goku stared at them incrediously.
" Toussan's knowledge taught us all that! " Gogeta pointed to his head while grinning.
" AHH! That's right! " Goku beamed, " MY LITTLE VEGGIE IS A MASTER CHEF!! "
" Vegeta taught them how to cook? " Raditsu blinked.
" Haha, no silly Niichan 'o mine! When little fusion-babies are born they are born with all the knowledge their
parents. What they knew when they were first born was equivalent to everything me and Veggie knew COMBINED! " Goku beamed.
Raditsu's eyes widened in amazement.
" Heehee, you look like Toussan when you do that! " Gogeta giggled.
" Hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm! " a little voice hummed as Goku felt something strapped around the tip of his tail.
He glanced over his shoulder to see Bura tieing mistletoe around his tail, then moving to tie some around the tails of the
other saiyajin.
" Bura what are you doing? " Goku blinked.
" Christmas Cheer! " Bura said cheerfully; the fusions saying it flatly in unison with each other as if they had
heard her give that reply to several other people when questioned as to what she was doing.
" That Scientist-Woman CLONED herself?! " Raditsu gawked in complete shock.
" Oh no, that is Bura. Bulma and Veggie's daughter! " Goku chirped.
" But, she doesn't look anything like Vegeta. " Raditsu scratched his head, confused.
" Muten Roshi and Baba are brother and sister and they do not look a thing like each other at all. " Goku pointed
out.
" ...who? "
" Oh yeah! That's right! Raditsu does not know who I'm talking about! " Goku laughed, then patted Raditsu on the
shoulders, " Don't worry niichan! I will do my brotherly-duty and introduce you to EVERYBODY at the Christmas Party! "
Raditsu smiled at him.
" ...hair.... "
The largest saiyajin out of the four of them blinked, then looked down to see Bura staring at him from behind in awe,
her eyes wide.
Bura patted it, " Look at all your PRETTY HAIR! It feels just like Kakarroujo's, only LONG!! "
Raditsu sweatdropped, then pulled a double-take, " "KakarrOUJO"? " he looked over at Goku oddly.
" That is what Bura calls me be-cause someday I am going to be Veggie's OUJO! " Goku sighed happily at the thought.
" ...you, know what's involved in becoming Vegeta's "oujo", right? " Raditsu paled, saiyajin knowledge being
something he had a lot of.
" Yeah! Veggie puts the crown on my head and then I'm his oujo! " Goku nodded cheerfully.
" ...that's, only part of it. " Raditsu sweatdropped, " Being an oujo in relation to an ouji is kinda like being
engaged. "
" ? " Goku tilted his head.
" You know, to be married. " Raditsu said, hoping he was getting through to the younger saiyajin, " It would be like
you being Vegeta's wife....which would be a little creepy. "
" ? " Goku tilted his head back the other way, then burst into laughter, " HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oh Niichan you are so
FUNNY! Oujis and Oujos do not have non-platonic relationships! Veggie told me so! "
" OOoooOOOOooh! "
Raditsu was about to rebuke him, then looked over his shoulder to see Bura brushing a small section of his long hair.
Raditsu twitched, " Stop that! You can't brush my hair it's supposed to have all those spikes in it! " he quickly grabbed
his hair and held it up above Bura's reach with one hand, then went back to talking to Goku. Bura sent a death-glare at the
hair. She tugged on Raditsu's pantleg, " Hai? "
" What's your name, mysterious stranger who I think is also a saiyajin because of his tail! " Bura grinned cheesily
at him.
" OH! Bura, this is my older brother. His name is Raditsu! I brought him back from the dead after Janemba's fooling
around sent him back as a zombie for a lil while! " Goku introduced him.
" Kakarroujo has a BROTHER! " Bura gasped, " And I never KNEW this?! "
" Well it's not like we've really seen you around during the fics recently. " Vejitto pointed out.
Bura twitched.
" Jitto's got a point, Bura. " Gogeta happily agreed.
Bura ignored them, then turned back to Goku and Raditsu, " No WONDER your hair felt so much like Kakarroujo's! You're
RELATED!! I can even, sorta....see the resemblance... " Bura trailed off at the end, " ..yeah. "
Raditsu pushes his bangs down for a moment, " I have hair like our Kaasan's; before she cut it; and Kakarrotto has
hair like our Toussan's and I have eyes like our Toussan's. Meaning if I had hair like that-- " he pointed to Goku's has he
pushed his own bangs back up before they could get in his eyes, " --I would look near-exactly like our Toussan but a little
bit bulkier. " he motioned to his arms and legs.
" Ahhhhh! " Bura said as if enlightened.
" ... "
" ... "
" CanIplaywithyourhairnow!!! " she grinned over-excitedly.
" NO!!! " Raditsu shrieked, horrified.
" Aww. " Bura pouted, then walked away, " And it held so much promise to an aspiring artist too... "
" Uh, heh-heh-heh. " Raditsu laughed nervously.
" I would wear my hair up when I'm around her if I were you. " Mirai nodded as he walked by them with a candy-cane in
his mouth.
Raditsu glanced back over at Goku and the fusions, all of whom nodded in nervous agreement, fearing for the large
saiyajin's locks.
" Vegeta? Vegeta wake up! " Bulma slapped the unconsious ouji across the face, then shook him a bit, " VEGETA! "
" ... "
Bulma sighed with a mix of frustration and worry, " Oh come here you. " she picked up the surprisingly heavy little
ouji and carried him off to the waiting-room section of the lab where Vegeta, Goku, and the fusions all waited when it was
the time of year to give them their checkups. Bulma sat Vegeta down on the couch in the waiting-room and pulled a blanket
up over him that reached just up to his chest, " There you go, Vegeta. " she patted him on the head.
Meanwhile in the other section of the lab where she had sprayed the peasant-away, a continuously-growing kaka-germ
cheerfully wobbled up towards the stairs that lead out of the lab, then headed for Vegeta's bedroom upstairs.
" Vegeta? " Bulma shook him a little more, " Vegeta? Vege-- "
:::" --tah. Veggie-tah wake up. " a little voice giggled from above and out of the darkness.
Vegeta's eyes fluttered open to see he was on a lawn on his back while Goku stood over him wearing a flowery pink and
yellow sundress that matched his colors if he was in ssj4 form perfectly. The normal-form Goku also had a wreath of mistletoe
on his head.
" Wha--where am I? " Vegeta sat up, dizzy. He looked around to see they were in a field of flowers. Brightly-colored
flowers which each beared it's own unique and exotic tint of mistletoe.
" For Veggie! " Goku sweetly held out a bushel of red mistletoe to him. Vegeta confusedly took them and started to
stand up only to have the larger saiyajin take his hand and help him. Vegeta tried to get his barings straight while Goku
walked along with him.
" Ah, Kakarrotto--? "
" --beautiful, isn't it? " Goku sighed dreamily, " I luv this place, it makes me feel so at peace with everything
around me. "
" Uh, heh-heh, yeah. " Vegeta shifted uneasily, " So, ah, where are we going. "
" Home, silly. " Goku giggled taking Vegeta's hand. The bright-redness instantly rushed up his arm and into his face
as they walked along. The larger saiyajin let out a huge sight of contentment, then slowly latched his arms around Vegeta's
free arm and leaned his head on the ouji's shoulder.
" ... " Vegeta twitched, too bewildered for some reason to even start screaming in terror and yank his arm free. He
felt a pull on his arm as Goku suddenly stopped walking.
" Here we are! " Goku announced.
Vegeta looked up at a kawaii-looking little cottage which almost-suspicously resembled the 6'inch tall version of the
gingerbread-house Bulma had put out on the table in the living room this morning. Only this 'gingerbread-house' was lifesize,
" It's, uh, 'cute', Kakarrotto. " Vegeta sweatdropped, unable to think of anything else to say. He started to try and slink
his arm out of Goku's tight adoring grasp, " So? Where did you manage to find that much gingerbread? "
" ? " Goku blinked up at him for a moment, then burst into laughter, " Oh Veggie you make me so happy! " the large
saiyajin beamed as they went inside. Goku slid off Vegeta's arm and closed the door behind them, then smirked, " So VERY
happy. " he said smoothly.
" ... " Vegeta's eyes widened, " Uh, heh-heh. " he laughed nervously, then let out a yelp as the larger saiyajin
promptly tackled him onto a nearby sofa, " OOF!! "
" Oh Veggie-tah, I luv u. " Goku said as his heavy weight smushed Vegeta's back deeper into the sofa-cushions.
" Umm, yeah. Tha--that's nice of you, Kakarrotto. A compliment. Haha, yeah. " Vegeta reached up to push Goku off only
to find the the task much harder than it should have been, " Uh, Kakarrotto? You can get off no--- " he looked up and froze
in place to see the larger saiyajin's lips just an inch away from his own, " --ohGod. " Vegeta squeaked out.
" You know, I am not allowed to kiss Veggies, Chi-chan says so. " Goku said with his lips still puckered up.
Vegeta sighed with relief.
" But, Chi-chan's not here right now. Is she? " a flicker lit up in Goku's eyes as he leaned in towards Vegeta, who
let out an ear-piercing scream.:::
" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! "
" *SMACK* "
" Oof! "
Vegeta sat up, his eyes bulging out of his head and his heart pounding near-out of his chest. The ouji's face was a
glowing bright red color and it took him a good 10 seconds to calm down and realize he was on a couch in Bulma's lab, not a
couch in Kakarrotto's magical gingerbread cottage placed in a flowery meadow.
" Ah ha, ah ha ha ha. " Vegeta laughed in a nervous and almost-insane tone of voice, " I'm safe, haha, I'm safe from
Kakarrotto, hahahahahaHA-- " he froze while glancing over to his left to see Bulma standing there with an annoyed look on her
face and a slight slap-mark across her cheek, " --oh. Sorry Bulma. " Vegeta sweatdropped.
" You slapped me. " she gawked.
" Hai, but I thought you were Kakarrotto-- "
" --you slapped me like you were a GIRL. "
" WAH! " Vegeta fell over.
" A girl who hadn't eaten all DAY too! " Bulma added, rubbing her cheek.
" I can't control how strong my attacks are in my sleep. " Vegeta grumbled as he looked away, embarassed.
" What was it THIS time? " Bulma's tone changed to a slightly worried one.
" If I hadn't screamed Kakarrotto would have gotten his kiss. " Vegeta shuddered.
" ? "
The ouji sighed, " Flowery meadow that grows multicolored mistletoe; Kakarrotto in a sundress; life-sized gingerbread
house; Kakarrotto locks us in; tries to seduce me and get a kiss on the lips. "
" Oh. " Bulma said, nervous, " But, you woke up before it could happen, right? "
Vegeta nodded, just as nervous.
" And, you don't suddenly feel "non-platonic" feelings for Son-kun, right? "
Vegeta's eyes widened, " You used one of my words. "
Bulma thought back, " Oh! I did. "
The ouji hopped onto his feet and promptly gave her a kiss, " You'll help me fight the urges! " Vegeta beamed
excitedly.
" You mean there ARE "urges"! " Bulma gasped.
" Ah, I, you know what I mean--SAIYAJIN urges. "
" Yes, hahaha, SAIYAJIN urges. Of course. "
" Hahahahaha... "
" Hahahahaha... "
" Hey, I think we've found another of the few hobbys we share in common that we can bond over! " Vegeta grinned,
" Besides our love for each other, our equally brilliant intellects, and the fact that we're of the most powerful people of
each of our respective planets! "
" HOORAY! " Bulma pumped a fist in the air, " So, fellow genius, what do you feel like doing today? "
" Well, I'm going to check on Kakarrotto, and you're going to come with me. I need someone who's mind is unclouded by
Kaka-dna--such as my fusion-babies--to watch me converse with Kakarrotto, take notes if the conversation happens to be
leading into an oblvious-to-Kakarrotto-and-I yet-obvious-to-an-onlooker non-platonic way, then once I'm done talking to
Kakarrotto, you and I will go back to the lab and you tell me what I said that I an, in effect, change to make sure I sound
more platonic than I had. "
" ... "
" ... "
" Maybe I should just videotape you guys instead and we watch the video when we come back down here. " Bulma
suggested.
" What if Kakarrotto gets suspicious! I can't have him suspicious! " Vegeta gawked.
Bulma smirked, " We'll tell Son-kun that I'm just recording Christmas-video footage and to just act natural and not
bounce around all camera-happy like he usually is when I pull out the video-camera and decide to go tape something. "
" ...ingenious. " Vegeta grinned evilly, rubbing his hands together. He looked up at her, " You know, if your body
and blood-type were strong enough, I would give you a quick royal pulsate of pleasure. " he cheerfully tapped his fingers on
the side of her neck.
Bulma sweatdropped, " What are you doing? "
" If you had the right blood-type and strength similar to mine you would know it by now. " Vegeta said blankly, then
hopped back down onto the floor.
" Uh-huh. "
" NOW. " Vegeta grinned, " You get the camera and I'll find a blank videotape! "
" Right! " Bulma nodded.
" TO THE LIVING ROOM!!! "
" MMMMmmmm, pizzaaaaa... "
" ...rollllllls... "
" *SIGH*! " both fusions sighed in contentment as they, Goku, and Raditsu dined on the cookied, light golden-brown,
crispy, warm-melted-mozzarella-cheese-and-pasta-sauce-filling snacks.
" I wonder if they make these any bigger? " Raditsu pondered as he tossed another into his mouth. While good, he did
was sort of accustomed to the very large snacks he, Vegeta, and Nappa had stolen on planets they used to plunder. Snacks that
were twice the size of his head.
" Bulma has an enlarging ray. " Goku said suddenly.
" ... "
" ... "
" We could have the world's largest pizza roll. " Vejitto said in awe at the thought of it.
" LET'S DO IT! " Gogeta cheered, " And then we'll make the world's largest FRESHLY-BAKED, WARM OF THE OVEN, MELTS IN
YOUR MOUTH---CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE!!!! "
" Yeah.... " he, Goku, and Vejitto drooled at the mere thought of such a cookie.
" ... " Raditsu looked back and forth between the three of his fellow snackers, " Uh, what's a "cookie"? "
" *GASP*!! " Goku, Vejitto, and Gogeta gasped in unison.
" My niichan has never tasted the sweet sweet taste of a warm gooey chocolate-chip cookie before EVER!! " Goku gasped
in horror while tears of sympathy ran down both fusion's cheeks. Goku glomped onto Raditsu, " OH NIICHAN YOU ARE SO DEPRIBED
OF THE CHOCOLATEY GOODNESS THAT IS THE COOKIE!! "
" Out of curiousity, how hard did you hit your head--really? " Raditsu sweatdropped.
Goku leaned his head down and parted his hair on one spot that looked very red and sore. Raditsu whinced at how deep
it appeared.
" Ooh. Sorry. "
" It is oh-kay! " Goku cheerfully sat up, " I am just fine now! "
" GREETINGS, Kakarrotto, children of mine, and Raditsu. " Vegeta announced as he proudly walked into the room with
Bulma carrying the video-camera on her shoulder.
" AHH! Bulma's got the video-camera!! " Goku squealed, then lept infront of her and waved both his arms into the
camera, " HI CHI-CHAN HI GOHAN HI GOTEN!!! "
" ... " Raditsu's expression went blank. He walked over and tapped the camera, " That's a, pretty big scouter. "
Bulma laughed at him, " Oh don't be silly! This is a video-camera. It tapes things. "
" ....tapes? "
" Yeah, so you can watch yourself later on tv! "
" ....tv? "
" Oh boy. " Vegeta slapped himself on the forehead and shook his head, groaning, " THIS brings back embarassing
memories... "
:::" Really. " Vegeta said, only slightly interested as he poured the milk in the bowl and took a handfull of the
mixture and shoved it in his mouth. Goku tilted his head, his eyes widened in awe.
" Here you go, Gohan, and here's some for you too, Go-chan. " Chi-Chi said, putting the plates infront of each
person's place.
" Heehee....heeheehee... " Goku let out musing little giggles as he stared straight ahead.
" What do you think is so funny? " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow, then sweatdropped to see Vegeta eating his cereal with
his hands, " Weird little Ouji. " she muttered, sitting down at her own place and starting to eat.
" Heeheehee, I like Veggie. " Goku said outloud to himself, nodding in agreement. Vegeta paused what he was doing and
narrowed his eyes at the larger saiyajin.
" What am I doing that's so insanely adorable THIS time? " Vegeta said, annoyed, worried, and embarassed at the same
time.
" Veggie you eat cereal with a spoon, not your hands, silly lil space-traveling buddy 'o mine! " Goku grabbed a
nearby spoon and handed it to Vegeta across the table. The ouji stared at the object in his hand, then down at the cereal,
then back at a sparkily-eyed looking Goku.
::Oh boy......if I use this thing the wrong way that big baka's going to squeal and get all mushy all over me and
show me how to do it as if I was a stinkin 2 year old!:: Vegeta twitched. He looked down at the bowl, then at the spoon.
Sweat dripped down his face.
" Would lil Vedge'ums like me to come help him eat his yummy break-fast? " Goku smiled, completely facinated with
Vegeta's lack of knowledge about Earth culture.
" I, know how to use this stupid thing, Kakarrotto. I don't need your help. " Vegeta snorted, then took a deep
breath. He prayed he had gotten it right and picked up the bowl, then leaned it towards his mouth while he used the spoon to
shovel the cereal and milk into his mouth, scarfing it down. He got halfway done when he noticed everyone at the table,
including Piccolo who had awoken at the loud ravenous sound of the saiyajin scarfing his food, was staring at him in shock,
confusion, and disgust. With the exception of Goku who looked like his heart had just melted.
" *Wheww....* " Piccolo let out a low whistle after he noticed the look on Goku's face. He got up from the table with
his sunglasses on, " Well, I'm done. I'll be training out by the mountains if anyone needs me. " he said, disturbing the
uneasy silence and walking out the backdoor.
" Piccolo-san wait for me! " Gohan said excitedly as he dashed after him, already in his gi. Piccolo snapped his
fingers, causing his own training outfit to suddenly appear on him inplace of the pajamas.
" Yeah, uhh, let's go Gohan. I'm sure your Toussan will catch up with us soon. " he said, flying off.
Vegeta's shoulders slumped in worry, " Oh God, I did it wrong, didn't I... " he murmured as he stared over at Goku.
" Oh Veggie... " the larger saiyajin mused, " I want to show my little Veggie how to eat yummy cereal.. " Goku smiled
in a daze.
" Uh, heh-heh, you know what? I'm full! Couldn't eat another bite of cereal. Nope! Hahaha. " Vegeta laughed nervously
at him.
" Goku, Vegeta thinks you're creeping him out. " Chi-Chi said, taking a break from her own breakfast.
" Oh nonsense. I'm not scaring my sweet little Veggie! " Goku smiled, then patted his lap, " Now come here lil-lil
Veggie plop yourself down and I'll teach you how to eat yummy cereal so tommorow when we all have breakfast you can impress
everybody by showing them how WELL you can eat! "
" Why are you patting your legs? " Vegeta demanded, a bit uneasy.
" I want you, to sit down on 'um. " Goku smiled sweetly.
Vegeta looked over at Chi-Chi for guidance, who sighed, " Just play along with him. The faster you do that the faster
we can all get on with our day. "
" Why do I need to be on your lap in order to eat cereal properly? " Vegeta continued to stare at the larger saiyajin
, inching towards Goku's side of the table. Goku grabbed the little ouji and plopped him down onto his lap.
" There! " Goku said warmly, " How ya feelin, widdle Vedge'ums? "
" ...help me... " Vegeta squeaked out, his face bright red.
" Well of **COURSE** I'll ~*help*~ u, little Veggie 'o mine. " Goku hugged the ouji tightly from behind.
" I'M NOT YOURS! WHO SAID I WAS YOURS! " Vegeta cried out in hysterics.
Chi-Chi once again paused from eating and looked up at Vegeta, who glanced back at her with a nervous and terrified
look on his face.
" Here, now I want you to take Mr. Spoon with your right hand, and hold Mr. Bowl down with your left. " Goku
instructed as if he were speaking to a little baby.
Vegeta embarassingly pulled his bowl over to Goku's spot at the table along with the spoon. He picked up the spoon
with his hand and held it awkwardly.
" Now what we do is dip the spoon into the bowl and scoop up some cereal along with some milk in it. " Goku said,
grabbing onto Vegeta's wrist and aiming for him. He pulled the ouji's hand upward, revealing the spoon's captured cereal and
milk, " There! Now we move the spoon into our mouth and pull the cereal off and inside, then take the spoon outside. "
Vegeta looked at the spoon curiously, then did so.
" YAY! " Goku cheered for him. Vegeta smiled slightly, " Veggie did it!! Oh you are such a fast lil-lil learner,
Vedge'ums! " he cooed, " And that's how you eat cereal! Just repeat those steps over and over until all the yummy cereal is
safely tucked away inside your sweet lil Veggie-tummy! "
Vegeta nodded, well on his way halfway through the cereal.
Goku clasped his hands together happily, " AWWW, I can already tell this is going to be LOTS of FUN! "
Chi-Chi felt a tiny twinge of jealousy, " Fun....right. ":::
" ...from then on I decided I would NEVER try to live at your house EVER again. " Vegeta said flatly, " At least not
until Bulma taught me EVERYTHING I needed to know about Earth-customs. "
" Veggie was so cute eating milk 'n cereal with his hands right out of the bowl... " Goku mused.
" Milk? Cereal? " Raditsu blinked, confused.
" Exactly. " Vegeta muttered, " I can never eat cereal for breakfast anymore without being reminded of the way I was
taught HOW. "
" Made you appreciate living and learning about earth at MY house those 3 years before the androids, huh Vegeta? "
Bulma grinned.
" You have no idea. " the ouji shook his head, thankful he hadn't ended up living with Goku at his time of
earth-naiveness.
" Aww, I had FUN teaching Veggie about breakfast and how to write his name in english and reading him a bedtime story
the night before! " Goku grinned, then turned to Vegeta, " We had a fun sleepover, didn't we Veggie! "
" Yeah well I wouldn't trust having a sleepover with you the way Onna is NOW. " he grumbled and folded his arms.
" I would like to sleepover at VEGGIE'S then! " Goku beamed, " It'll be GREAT! Just me 'n Veggie in our pj's eatin
smores and watchin scary movies all night long! "
" No thank you, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta sweatdropped.
" ...smores? " Raditsu sweatdropped.
" It's an earth-snack composed of small pieces of chocolate, a marshmellow, and two gram-crackers that is heated up
until it's warm and gooey and originally created for those on long camping expeditions because of all the sugar the snack
entails. " Vegeta explained.
" ... "
The ouji looked around the room deep in thought, then glanced over at Goku, " Kakarrotto, how would you like it if I
to have a little conversation with you for the camera. An interview, if you will. " he smirked.
" I do like cameras...AND little Veggies... " Goku nodded, then grinned, " Oh-kay! "
Vegeta zipped over the the fusions and Raditsu, " This is a plot. I need you to leave the room for a short while busy
yourselves until I'm finished interviewing Kakarrotto. "
" Can we take the remainder of the pizza-rolls with us? " Gogeta asked.
" And some of the cookies you baked this morning? " Vejitto added.
" Of course of course, just get going. "
" GREAT! " both fusions said at once as they grabbed the snacks and left the room followed by Raditsu.
" Wanna help us put the Christmas Presents under the tree, Uncle Raditsu! " Vejitto offered.
" Oh-kay. " he responded, then took a cookie, sniffed it and ate it. The large saiyajin smiled, " This IS good! "
" Behold the power of the baked good! " Vejitto chriped.
" Now, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said as he pulled a seat up to the the one Goku was sitting at at the table, " How are
you doing today? "
" Goooooood. " Goku said happily, " How is Veggie? "
" I'm fine. So! Two days til Christmas, huh? "
Goku nodded sweetly.
" You, umm, expecting any present inparticular? "
The larger saiyajin blushed lightly and twiddled his thumbs, " Maybe. "
" Well, you know, I'm sure you'll get lots of nice presents this year Kakay. " the ouji shifted uncomfortably a bit;
the camera bothering him much more than he originally thought it would, " M--maybe even something special. "
Goku's eyes instantly widened to two big sparkily orbs, " Oh VEGGIE, you mean--- "
" ---that you've been very good this year and you deserve MANY nice gifts, Kaka-chan. Hahaha. " Vegeta laughed
nervously and patted Goku on the leg, then folded his arms, distressed.
" Vegeta if the camera's bothering you I can always back up. " Bulma offered.
" Aww, my little Veggie is camera-shy! That is so kawaii! " Goku gushed in awe.
" Nn. " Vegeta made a small noise and shifted a bit.
" Here. " Bulma backed up a few feet and hit the zoom button on the camera to make it appear she was standing where
she had been before, " Is that better Vegeta? "
" A little. " the ouji said, then took a deep breath, " You've been busy, buying gifts for your family and friends,
right? " he asked Goku.
" Yup! Chi-chan and Gohan and Goten and I got stuff for EVERYBODY! We're just busy wrapping the gifts now--OH! " Goku
gasped.
" What? " Vegeta looked worried.
" I completely forgot! Niichan and I were supposed to go right back home after we had a snack here! We were taking a
break oh my Chi-chan and Gohan and Goten must all be so pooped out from wrapping without us! " Goku said.
" Raditsu's helping you wrap presents? "
" I needed my niichan to help me because I hurt one of my wrapping hands while working on making my special gift for
little Veggie. See? " Goku held out the hand with the bandaids all over the fingers and palm. Vegeta's eyes widened.
" What are you making for me? " he said, examining Goku's hand.
The large saiyajin smiled, " Oh it's a secret Veggie! A super-secret present that is just for my little Veggie who I
am sure will LUV it when I am done! "
" Hai... " Vegeta trailed off, still wondering how Goku had hurt himself that he needed 5 bandaids on one hand, " I
could make some hot chocolate for you, to--to make up for you hurting your hand on my account. "
Goku's pupils shimmered, " Oh Veggie, you are so sweet to me~. "
" Haha, hahaha. " Vegeta laughed nervously as he went to go take out the hot cocoa mix, " That's nice, Kakay. "
" Yeah....Veggie's nice. " Goku sighed as he turned around and leaned his elbows on the table and his hands on his
cheeks, " So very nice... "
Vegeta's cheeks started to turn a faint reddish color.
" Ah, Goku! " Bulma sat down where Vegeta had been, " So! What KIND of secret present are you making for Vegeta? Is
it a food? Clothing? A toy? "
" Now I can't tell you that or else it would not be a secret anymore. " Goku said with a little smile.
" Oh. " Bulma said, a little sad he hadn't told her.
" Here you go Kakay-chan. " Vegeta said sweetly as he plopped a mug of hot-cocoa loaded with marshmellows infront of
Goku, who let out a happy little squeal.
" Oh VEGGIE! " Goku gave him a quick glomp, then took a content sip of the cocoa, " You always make the YUMMIEST
cocoa, Veggie~~ " he sighed happily.
" Yeah, well.. " Vegeta grinned boastfully, " I AM a culinary genius you know. " he leaned his elbows onto the table
as he glanced over at the large peasant.
" Vegeta, you used a pre-made boxed hot-chocolate mix. " Bulma sweatdropped, " You know, from a baggie? " she held
up one of the baggies.
" Baggie, made-from-scratch, it's all the same when MY unrivaled cooking fingers touch it. " he said proudly to Goku,
who only giggled in reply.
" You're wearing gloves. " Bulma pointed out.
" Heh-heh, yeah, I know. " Vegeta grinned.
Bulma sighed, then scribbled something on a napkin and slipped it over to Vegeta. The ouji stood up and read it.
" You're unintentionally flirting with hi---oh. " his pupils shrunk.
" What's it say, little Veggie 'o mine? " Goku asked as he plopped his head onto Vegeta's shoulder.
Vegeta gulped, then promptly crumbled up the napkin and tossed it into his mouth and swallowed it, " Nothing. " he
grinned cheesily at Goku.
" Uh, Vegeta? "
" What is it now, Bulma? " Vegeta sweatdropped.
" That, ah, exploding ink. "
The ouji cocked an eyebrow, " Exploding WHA---URRRRRRRRRRRRP!! " he suddenly burped out a large spray of blue ink
that splattered all over the kitchen wall, " ...oh. " he looked back to see Bulma shaking her head at him and Goku's eyes
wide with confusion, " I'll, ah, I'll clean that up later. "
" MY PRESENT-WRAPPING TASK IS DONE!!! HOO-HAH! " Chi-Chi struck a pose of victory and grinned, " Isn't that right
boys? "
Gohan and Goten were completely beat and lying on the floor panting heavily from all the wrapping.
" I can't....feel my fingers... " Gohan groaned.
" I can't feel my body... " Goten added.
" And THAT'S how you know when you've done a hard day's work! " Chi-Chi clasped her hands together, " Now to contact
Goku-san and bring him back home! " she took the phone off the hook and hit the speed-dial to Capsule Corp.
" You mean you KNEW where Toussan WAS this whole time!? " Gohan gawked.
" No. But this is where he usually is when I need to find him. " Chi-Chi shrugged, " Besides, he's with his brother,
who's impression of what the Ouji is like ends just before the Ouji even MET Go-chan. Because of that, the Ouji will no
doubt feel too uncomfortable wooing Go-chan with one of his old space-travel-and-blowing-up-things buddies watching him. That
and I trust him because he's so closely related to Goku, like you two. " Chi-Chi smiled at them.
" What about Vejitto and Gogeta? THEY'RE just as closely related to-- "
" --they're OUJI-SPAWN! They don't count! " Chi-Chi snapped.
" Hello? " a voice said on the phone.
" Ouji?! " Chi-Chi said.
" Onna. " Vegeta smirked.
" Ouji, put Goku on the phone. He needs to come home now. We finished wrapping the presents AND the presents that are
for him. Besides it's getting late and he needs his energy for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. " Chi-Chi nodded.
" Ah, really? Well you know, Kakay seems pretty relaxed right now. Infact, we've even been considering a sleepo-- "
Vegeta froze to see Goku suddenly and inch away from him w/big sparkily eyes and a look of eager anticipation on his face.
Vegeta nearly choked, " --ver. "
" You really mean it little Veggie? " Goku said in a tone which nearly caused the ouji's knees to quake and cause
him to almost fall to the floor.
" Ah.....ah.... " the bright red ouji choked out at the sheer closeness and kawaiiness of the peasant.
" Goku if you stay over the ouji's house you'll never have enough time to finish your 'present' for him. " Chi-Chi
pointed out.
" Oh yeah! " Goku chirped, taking the phone out of Vegeta's hands just as the ouji slumped down onto his stomach in a
daze, " Hey Chi-chan, were you oh-kay with wrapping the other things that I forgot to come back and wrap? " he asked, feeling
a little guilty.
" Oh, Gohan, Goten, and I have it all covered. " Chi-Chi brushed it off.
" I wish I could move. " Gohan's voice whimpered in the background.
" How are you and your brother doing? "
" Raditsu-kun is helping me-n-Veggie's fusion-babies put the presents under the tree! " Goku grinned, glancing out
into the living room where Raditsu was setting down a huge package, " OOOH! Is that one for me! " Goku said to him.
Raditsu looked at the tag and sweatdropped, " I don't know. I can't read Earth-language. "
" English! " Goku chirped.
" English. " Raditsu corrected himself while scratching his head.
" I have a present here that is for Goggie! " Vejitto said happily as he set it down.
" And I have one for Jitto! " Gogeta motioned to the one he was carrying down the steps.
" I have a present for you, Kaka-chan! " Vegeta grinned sneakily, seemingly back to normal.
" REAAAAAALLLLY, Veggie? " Goku said in excitement.
" That's right. And it's a LOT more impressive than anything ONNA could buy for you. " Vegeta said extra-loudly on
purpose so Chi-Chi could hear him over the phone.
" Curse you Ouji!! " she shook her fist at him, then snorted, " Well if you think you can get to me you're wrong! I'm
getting BETTER you know! "
" Heh, sure you are. "
" You know Ouji, I DO recall that in the "future", when I DO happen to kick the bucket I'm definately NOT senile.
Your supposed 'future-self' told me that when I first visited him. Meaning I MUST get better. " she said confidently.
" Yes, but you don't age like a saiyajin now, do you? " Vegeta snickered.
" Hnn. " Chi-Chi glared at the phone.
" Now if you'll excuse me Onna, I'm off to get my ~*present~just~for~Kakay~*~ and place it neatly under the tree. "
Vegeta boasted, then proudly strutted off up the stairs and opened the door to his room. The ouji, oblivious to the gigantic
Kaka-germ resting on his bed, walked over to the drawer he put the capsule in and took it out. Vegeta turned around only to
have his eyes go wide like a deer in headlights at the sight of the gigantic kaka-germ.
" Heeheehee. " the gigantic kaka-germ giggled coyly as it batted its eyelashes at Vegeta, then thwapped itself on its
side and let out a little purr.
" ... " Vegeta mindlessly turned back towards the door and stiffly walked out, then closed the door behind him and
leaned against it, sliding to the floor and onto his rump, " I did not just see that. " he said bluntly in shock.
" VEGETA? " Bulma looked up at him, " Are you oh-kay? "
" Bulma? " Vegeta squeaked out.
" Yes? "
" You know that "Peasant-Away" kaka-germ-dissolving-solution you created? "
" Yes? "
" STOP creating it. "
" ? " Bulma cocked an eyebrow.
Vegeta tried to shake the shock off of him as he made his way down the stairs. He stopped shaking after a short while
and placed the capsule with the big "To Kakay; LUV Veggie" tag under the tree with the other presents.
" Ooh! Veggie has capsulized my present? " Goku said, the fact that the gift was not only wrapped but capsulized
DOUBLING his curiousity, " What is it? " he said with a grin.
" I'll tell you if you tell me what your "special gift" for me is. " Vegeta smirked.
" Oh Veggie I can't do THAT! " Goku gasped.
" Then you'll wait until Christmas Day to open it like everyone else. " Vegeta stated with a smile.
" Aww. " Goku pouted.
" *DING*DONG*! "
Goku teleported to the front door and opened it with the phone still in hand, " Hello? "
" Goku! Did you just forget about me or what! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, standing in the doorway with the hand-held phone
still in her hand.
" Sorry Chi-chan, Veggie got me distracted and then Chi-chan was at the door--huh? " he suddenly became very
confused. Chi-Chi shut her phone off and tossed it to Gohan, who along with Goten was conveniently located inside the Son
family car parked in on the side of the street.
" Wow, you got here fast, Onna. " Vegeta blinked, then grinned evilly, " In a hurry, huh? "
" I'll be taking Goku and home now and we're dropping his brother off at his house on the way. " Chi-Chi stated.
" Aw, avoiding a conflict with me due to the holidays and all? How sweet Onna. " Vegeta snickered.
" Just because I'm trying to avoid you Ouji, doesn't mean I haven't lost any intense hatred for you. " Chi-Chi folded
her arms.
" Yes, it would be so boring around here without having someone to match wits against you know. " Vegeta nodded,
smirking at her.
" Are you ready to go, Goku? " Chi-Chi asked him.
Goku let go of the phone, which instantly snapped back on it's cord and flung miraculously back into place on its
hook. Goku grinned brightly, " Ready! "
" And what about Raditsu? "
" COME FORTH FORCES OF PASTRY INLARGEMENT AND HEAD MY WORDS!! " Vejitto announced as he, Gogeta, and Raditsu stood
in the room Bulma kept the enlarging ray. They were all wearing lab-coats and goggles. One of the cookies Vegeta had baked
earlier was placed upon the enlarging ray's platform.
" Heeheeheehaha. " Gogeta giggled.
" WE DESIRE THAT YOU ENLARGE THIS DELICIOUS YUMMY WARM GOOEY CHOCOLATE-CHIP COOKIE TO GIGANTIC PROPORTIONS OF WHICH
WE WILL ALL FEAST ON WITH GREAT CONTENTMENT!! " a huge grin covered Vejitto's face.
" CONTENTMENT! " Gogeta whooped as he pumped his fist into the air.
" Mmm! " Raditsu tossed another cookie from the bag into his mouth, his tail wagging back and forth with delight.
" Everybody back up behind me! " Vejitto chirped. The other two saiyajins did so. Vejitto turned to his brother,
" Care to do the honors, Goggie? "
" Why thank you, Jitto-kun! " Gogeta nodded to him, then cheerfully pulled the lever before them and a huge ray of
blue light zapped the cookie causing it to slowly grow in size until it was almost the size of the room. Gogeta quickly shut
the machine off before the mass of the cookie was so big that they wouldn't be able to breathe.
" ... " all three saiyajin stared at the near-filled room of cookie. Raditsu dropped the normal-sized cookie in his
hand before his open mouth to the floor in shock.
Vejitto pumped both arms in the air, " SUCCESS!!! "
" Umm, I think they're gonna be a while. " Goku sweatdropped.
" Well then, we'll wait. " Chi-Chi decided.
5 Minutes Later...
" That's it, we're going. " Chi-Chi nodded, then started to turn around only to have one of the doors upstairs
fling open to reveal the insides completely covered in chocolate. Three chock-full-o-chocolate saiyajins wobbled contently
out of the room and down the stairs wearing chocolate-splattered lab-coats and goggles.
" I think, I really like cookies. " Raditsu contently concluded as he walked up to Goku and Chi-Chi.
" What happened to YOU? " Chi-Chi gawked.
" My nephews decided we'd enlarge one of Vegeta's homemade cookies and eat the giant concoction. " he explained.
" Aww, Ji-chan and Goggie are so creative, aren't they! " Goku clasped his hands together, proud of the fusions.
Vejitto and Gogeta grinned back at him.
" Creative AND creepy. " Chi-Chi commented.
" Oh you are only saying that because we ree-mind you of our mommy. " Vejitto grinned.
" Your "mommy".....right. " Chi-Chi said, momentarily glancing over at Vegeta who shared the same grin on his face as
the two fusions, " Come on Goku. " she looked over at him, " Depending on exactly WHAT you plan to be making for the Ouji,
you're going to need quite a bit of time to do it. There's only 2 days left until Christmas and one of them is already over."
Goku gasped.
" By the way, Ouji. Go-chan has bought you quite a few interesting gifts, by the way. " she added, " We think you'll
enjoy them. "
" Hn. " Vegeta narrowed his eyes in suspicion.
Chi-Chi turned to walk out the door, " Say goodbye to the Ouji, Goku. "
Goku grinned widely at Vegeta, then lifted him up under the arms, " HEEE~~ "
Vegeta's cheeks flushed bright red, " I'll, see you tommorow, Kakarrotto. "
" Byebye little Veggie! " Goku hugged the ouji tightly, then looked up and beamed, " Hey Veggie? "
" Hmmm? " the dazed little ouji said.
" Mistletoe. " Goku said excitedly as he pointed to a mistletoe which just happened to be above them.
Vegeta's eyes went wide, " No. NO NO NO NO--- "
" --SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOCH! " a huge wet slobbery smooch was promptly pushed against Vegeta's cheek curtosy of a certain
large peasant named Kakarrotto.
Goku cheerfully let go and plopped the bright red Vegeta back on the ground, then left the house, " Comin Raditsu? "
Raditsu stared at the slobbered-on Vegeta, slightly sickened at the sheer amount of drool, " Eew. Hm? Yeah I'm comin.
" he tossed off the goggles and lab-coat, then ran out to the car after his brother.
" BYE VEGGIE!! " Goku waved as the car drove off.
" Bye bye....bye... " Vegeta waved back, dazed and still glowing bright red.
" Ohhhhhh. " a saddened little voice came from beside him. Vegeta looked to his left to see Bura holding what looked
like a 3 foot tall brush. The ouji's eyes bugged out of his head at her, " And I finally found my BIG brush too... "
" So I will see you tommorow? " Goku smiled as he and Raditsu stood infront of the door to the older saiyajin's
capsule home.
" Yeah. But you still have to teach me how to teleport and sense ki. " Raditsu nodded, then sweatdropped, " I feel
like I'm the only one who doesn't know how. "
" Aw, of course you are not! " Goku laughed, " Only me-n-Veggie and our little fusion-babies know how to teleport!
And...well yeah you are one of the few people who can't sense ki....OH! Bulma doesn't know how! " he pointed out.
" She's a scientist. What would she need THAT ability for? "
" Uh.....to sense who's coming down to see her? "
" ? "
" Well TOMMOROW then! Tommorow I will teach my niichan how to sense ki! And THEN how to teleport because unless you
are able TO sense ki, you cannot teleport to a ki you needed to have the ability to sense! " Goku cheerfully decided and
shook Raditsu's hand, " Goodnight niichan! "
" Goodnight Kakarrotto. " Raditsu smiled, then opened the door to his house and went inside.
Goku walked back to the car and got in, " I like my niichan, Chi-chan! " he beamed, then laughed, " Haha, hey, I
rhymed! "
" Hai, he seems alright. " Chi-Chi nodded, " You ARE brothers, after all. Just like Gohan and Goten. " she smiled
back at them only to sweatdrop that both demi-saiyajins were fast asleep from all the wrapping they had done earlier, " Aww.
How sweet. " she turned back to Goku, " Let's take them back home now so we can ALL get some sleep. "
" AND so I can work on my special present for Veggie! " Goku beamed.
Chi-Chi nodded and drove off, " Exactly! "

END OF PART TWO!
Chuquita: YAY! Part two is done! (grins at Veggie) For a while there I really thought Christmas had thrown me off-track and
this would be late.
Vegeta: Well apparently it's not.
Chuquita: (happily) I know! (smiles) AND I got everything I wanted for Christmas! Which was great! OH, and Budoukai 2 is a
LOT of fun! Even more fun than Budoukai 1!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) We can call it Budoukai 1 now?
Chuquita: If there's a second one it seems logical to call the first one 1.
Vegeta: (sits back in his chair) I guess that makes sense.
Chuquita: I'm DYING to go play some more of it, which I will once we get up to the "reviewer-replies" part of the End Corner.
Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow)
Chuquita: I have to go online to get the reviews page, but dinner is almost ready so once we get to "And here's the reviewer
replies", it'll probably be dinnertime and then I'll eat, play a bit of Budoukai 2, and hopefully be able to get online to
go get them so we can finish the chapter!
Goku: (cheers) Hooray!
Chuquita: Everybody looks so much BETTER in Budoukai 2! And the gameboard idea is priceless! Infact, chapter 3's "Quote of
the Week" is a Veggie-quote from the game.
Vegeta: (grumbles, knowing what it is already) You take joy in my embarassment, don't you?
Chuquita: Just a little bit.
Goku: Me 'n my niichan ALSO look much better in the new game!
Chuquita: Hai! I've unlocked Veggie, Raditsu, and Recoome (but who cares about Recoome?) already! My current team on the
gameboard is Goku (who is represented by a chibinized Goku who dashes across the board) Veggie, (represented by a floating
Veggie-head) and Goten (who is surprisingly very good to play as and is represented by a floating Goten head).
Goku: (chirps) We also got Taiketsu, which is a good game for long rides in the car!
Chuquita: The next time I happen to be on a long ride in the car.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) As long as you're not the one driving.
Chuquita: Point.
Future Goku: I am having lots of fun today with Past V-sama.
Vegeta: Ah, thank you.
Future Goku: (shyly) Can I, give Past V-sama a hug?
Vegeta: (smirks) Well, that sounds more kaka-ish. Fine.
Future Goku: (beams and reaches for Veggie's waist)
Vegeta: HOLDIT!! (yelps and grabs Future Goku's hands, then puts them up higher above his stomach) There. Here in the "past"
we hug from THERE.
Future Goku: (blinks, a little confused) Alright. (smiles and hugs Veggie tightly) Good, V-sama?
Vegeta: (smiles contently) Uh-huh....
Past Goku: (asleep on the desk)
Goku: (whips out a blanket and pulls it up on the chibi) Aww...I sleep like a baby...
Chuquita: Hai, your toddler-self is very kawaii! (lightly pats toddler-Goku on the head)
Vegeta: (taps Future Goku) You, ah, you can let go now?
Future Goku: (lets out a small content noise and cuddles closer)
Vegeta: (whimpers, his face glowing bright red) Oh God....
Chuquita: I'm back from dinner. But I didn't get to the ps2. I'll do that later.
Goku: (chirps) K!
Chuquita: And now for the reviewer-repiles!
To Nuki: Still thinkin of names but I am fond of "Ditsu" if only because it's the first nickname I've ever heard for him back
at deviantart. (before your doodles I never knew he had a nickname). I'll choose a nickname eventually :) I do have a few
ideas for torture for him but those will have to wait for the next chapter. ^_^
To Callimogua: So glad you liked it! Best thing about the pet-diaper bit is that they actually do exist :D
To Gie: Heh, I just thought they were for keeping pets' bottoms warm, like those pet-shirts and boots. Raditsu and Goku have
yet many Veggie-stories to swap :D Thanx for the Raditsu ideas!
To Cathowl: Another good nickname for him :) I wish your Kakarrotto good-luck in present-hunting. Ouji seems so oblivious to
Kakarrotto's need to get the perfect gift :)
To RyukoVulpix: Ahh, I remember the first Christmas special. "The Christmas Cheese" I think ^_^;; Veggie was pretty mean to
Goku in that one. It feels so long ago... I liked the fusion-parody song! Very funny, especially the finger part. I did use
the chocolate idea (in the form of chocolate-chip cookies) though :)
To mkh2: To tell the truth I didn't really have a nickname set out beforehand for Raditsu, that's why I'm trying to figure
out one. Both of yours would work good. I've got a beagle but he doesn't have any of those clothes or things. (he has an
orange vest he got for Christmas, but that's only when it's really cold; he actually likes wearing it but that's just another
thing that's just so bizarre about him ^_^;; Good 'ol Snoopy... )
To TheDarkGuard: LOL! One of the fusions calling him "Aunt". *grins*. I actually have something that could tie in with that
as a oneshot-joke later on in the fic. But yeah so far they're both refering to him as their uncle. Poor Goku, that was a
terribly painful-looking kick. O_O Dba chose sub movie 7 as their movie last week. I'll see the dub when it airs on Toonami!
To JSF: Yes it would be hard for them to string potato-chips; but nothing's impossible for the fusions! *grins*.
Goku: (clicking the slippers together) OOOOooh, so PRETTY! (beams sweetly) Thank u JSF!
Vegeta: (looks at height pills, then at kaka-trio) (forms ki-barrier around himself and eats a height-pill) (points to Gokus
outside of barrier) HA!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) He can't possibly keep that up for 12 hours.
Vegeta: Yes I can.
Goku: (smushes his face against the barrier and stares at Veggie w/big sparkily eyes) Vehhhhhh-gee~~ (little smile)
Vegeta: (face turns bright red) (looks away)
To DBZSayian: Don't worry, Veggie'll be fine...for now.
Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow, pales) What do you mean, "for now".
Chuquita: There's a surprise.
Vegeta: ....is there?
Chuquita: Yes.
Vegeta: A--anyway, as to answer the questions: (pulls out the capsulized present) I plan to present this capsule containing
a limo containing many wrapped presents for Kakarrotto. There MAY be some fish-related gifts inside it (hint-hint), I'm
worried about recieving a kaka-kiss because thanks to Bulma's research a few fics ago, if Kakarrotto were to give me a
mistletoe-kiss, the amount of kaka-germs that would flow into my system would be too insanely large for me to control and I'd
become a mind-numbed kaka-slave. And yes, as long as Onna is around, I should be safe from any of THAT particular type of
mistletoe-gift.
Chuquita: So there is a downside for you once Chi-Chi's life finally does come to an end.
Vegeta: (narrows his eyes) Hai...there would be no one left to even off Kakarrotto's mind on that sort of thing.
Chuquita: You confused me there.
Vegeta: Yes...
Future-Goku: (gives Veggie an extra-squeeze)
Vegeta: (bursts into bright red again) WAHHHhhhhhhhhhh~~~
To Nekoni: Glad you got to shopping! I agree, those electric-collars are cruel to animals. *nods*. Your first two questions
will be answered in the next chapter! :)
I was gonna have Goku eat one but I was given a link that said mistletoe is an aphrodisiac that would be poisonous to eat
but you need to take a big whiff of it instead to make the "must-kiss-people" effect happen. *confused* I dunno. But yes
Goku will get a taste or whiff of mistletoe in the next chapter. Here we only have this little plastic mistletoe decoration
we hang in the kitchen ;_; I don't know if real mistletoe grows in NJ or not. I have two possible places in the next chapter
where Goku's whiff/snack could happen, I'll choose which one later on :)
To Musoka14: Glad you liked the story so far!
To Maria S: Thank you so unbelievably much for mentioning that for it's given me a great idea. Somewhere during the fic
Raditsu will reveal that he was able to see flashes of the future back when he was alive the first time, and of course one of
the things several main characters are DYING to know IS "what's going to happen in the future", and thus a chase scene will
insue :D Yes he will get flashes of the future, but they're more random than Bardock's were. Bardock's occured mostly while
he was battling. Raditsu's could happen anytime anywhere. "I knew I should've taken that right turn @ Albuquerque" was so
long ago it'll be great to make a big link like that!
To Agent182: So happy you like it! Veggie will be more than a little shocked to see those presents. "The Wizard of Z"
wouldn't be so bad, the only thing is that was a mostly Gohan fic (back when I was trying to figure out which characters I
liked to work best with) but it could work, especially w/Chi-Chi as the witch of the west :D But she's trying to get better
isn't she? (thinks) Oh well, I'll figure out which fic would work. Thanks!
To Christina G.: LOL! That would have been embarassing if that was what their wedding night was like.
To Miyanon: You know the partial-upload thing's happened to me before too. Glad you got it to work though! Chi-Chi's plan
probably isn't going to work and the Peasant-Away has some unexpected side-effects--the dissolved kaka-germs mutate to become
much bigger than normal and when they all assimilate back together, well, you get what's on Vegeta's bed right now ^_^;;
Bulma's starting to get worried just because Veggie's kaka-pursuit has been going on so long. Ditsu-san is another possible
nickname. Heehee, anti-drool sounds funny. I wonder how it'd work? It always could be a possibility why Bura wants Goku to
be the oujo. He is around a lot while Bulma's near-always at work on some invention. I dunno. :) Hope you have fun in
Australia!
To Sinah: Chi-Chi's plan does seem near-fool-proof, huh? :) There's only one little thing that Veggie can do to stop this
plan, but I can't reveal that yet. Many interesting Raditsu moments come when the gang actually starts to open their presents
and such on Christmas day--especially since everybody'll be at Capsule Corp, even the ones who don't know Raditsu was brought
back yet. AND those who've never met him.
To Rissa of the Saiya-Jin: Heh, you actually predicted something that will happen. Congradulations! (on the sweaters thing)
Heehee, thwacking :D The fusions are so much fun to work with! Veggie should feel better soon. Ironically Goku DID get his
license--and from the way Chi-Chi explained it in the show, he tried 6 more times and then she threatened the instructor and he finally
gave in and signed a license for Goku. Sewing is hard *nods in agreement*. That's just the thing, Bulma doesn't want to go
back to Yamcha. It's a big fear of hers--after all, Veggie's the GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI, and Yamcha's
just....Yamcha ^_^;; She knows Veggie loves her. Heehee, Ditzy. So glad you liked Goku's lil story! I had a flashback in this
about where Veggie tries to stay at Goku's house one day during the 3-year pre-androids period and realizes how much better
it was living at Bulma's. The scene's actually from supersecretficImworkingoninsecretandmayormaynotpostwhenitsdone, which I
can tell everyone is a sorta au fic in which the exact opposite of the flashback happens--Veggie STAYS at Goku's instead of
going back. It goes up to Cell and has a mini-flashforward to Buu. But that's all I'll say :) The flashback's a quote from
that fic. Goodluck w/your next chapter. I'm enjoying Interstellar as well! (Can't wait for the finals and who the mystery
fighter is).
To Maniacal Gargoyle Girl: Yay! More nicknames! Thank you so much. I like Radi; sorta like a Raditsu version of Vegeta's
Veggie nickname.
To Afrodite: So glad you enjoyed it! I'm having so much fun w/this story and I have so many ideas left to put into it!
Chuquita: (happily) And so part 2 comes to an end!
Vegeta: (still bright red) Waaaaa~~~
Goku: (cheerfully) Veggie so cute! (pats him on the head)
Chuquita: I got some more of Budokai done. I'm on the Defeat Fat Buu map now! AND I've only been beaten once so far, and
that was Majin Veggie beating Goku.
Goku: (sniffles) Oh my poor sweet little Veggie who was temporarily po-sessed!
Chuquita: (to audiance) Anyone know if Majin Veggie is his own character in the game or just a Veggie-variation (like how
you can switch between Veggie's Cell clothes and Veggie's Buu clothes)?
Goku: (smiles) We should find out eventually!
Chuquita: See you in part 3 everybody! Most likely some time next week!
Past Goku: Byebye!! (waves)
Goku: (awws) Aww! Chibi me is so CUTE!
Future Goku: (waves Veggie's hands) Past V-sama has is own kawaii charms as well. (snuggles the already bright red Veggie
again) MmmmMMmmm~~~
Vegeta: (bright red and dazed) HahahaHA~~
