Quote of the Week: -from Shounen Jump #15
Mirai: There's an odd room here where you can spend an entire year in the span of one outside day. Dad and I were training in
there.
Bulma: Huh...! (looks over at Veggie) But Vegeta's hair didn't grow out any. (Veggie stares surprised)
Vegeta: (scowls) Pure-blooded saiyans have thankfully been spared the grotesquery of "hair growth".
Bulma: Oh!
Goku: No wonder!
Vegeta: Why are we talking about hair?! Bulma, why did you come here?!
Chuey's Corner:
Goku: (grins) To give us all Veggie-outfits! (holds up his Veggie-outfit from Cell eps)
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) It was a little creepy having all of you dressed in my clothes for a while.
Chuquita: I thought it was funny. :)
Goku: Yeah! Veggie's clothes are really light too!
Chuquita: Though it must've taken a TON of ink to color it all in. (remembers reading interview that doing all inking
frustrates Toriyama) "Grotesquery"'s a new one though.
Vegeta: (smirks proudly) BEHOLD THE WIDE VOCABULARY OF THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI!
Goku: (cheers) HOORAY!
Chuquita: (to Veggie) You keep shocking me in the manga, you keep coming up with more and more bizarre, complicated words.
Vegeta: (grins)
Chuquita: I mean, I knew grotesque was a word, but I thought you made grotesquery up to suit the moment--
Vegeta: Like kaka-germs, kaka-spawn, and all my other kaka-added words?
Chuquita: --yah.
Vegeta: Heh. (smirks)
Chuquita: I also read that Goku got his hairstyle the way it was because Toriyama wanted to give him uniqueness. He also
thought Goku's face was too average and needed the unique hair.
Vegeta: (looks over at Goku)
Goku: (super-big Son-style grin)
Vegeta: O_O ...how is that face NORMAL!?
Chuquita: I'm not sure ^_^;;
Vegeta: NOBODY can grin like THAT!!
Goku: (chirps) Of COURSE they can Veggie. People like me, and Gohan, and Goten, and Jitto, and Goggie! And, and maybe even
Ditsu too!
Vegeta: ...I don't really think Raditsu could grin like that, Kakarrotto. I'm not sure he'd even want to.
Chuquita: (thinking) Veggie would look pretty strange if his hair kept growing...
Goku: Haha! It'd look like Ditsu's! Only, only Veggie's have to keep cutting it cuz Veggie wouldn't be able to support the
weight on his head!
Vegeta: (twitches) Yeah, well, you'd look like Goten if your hair kept growing.
Goku: ...but, Goten's hair looks exactly like mine now.
Vegeta: TEEN Goten, baka.
Goku: Ahh...
Chuquita: The manga says Goten grew it out because he started to look too much like you as he got bigger.
Vegeta: (shakes his head) God that would be confusing. (imagines Goku and Goten standing somewhere with Goten's hair cut
instead of grown out) ...we'd need to get you both NAMETAGS, or something...
Chuquita: You wouldn't need to cuz Son-kun's got a tail and Goten doesn't. (points to Bibishii who wafts through the air)
Goku: Heehee. (pats his tail)
Vegeta: True but the sheer almost clone-ness would surely cause both my brain and Onna's to explode on first-glance...which,
if it didn't cause mine to explode, would have been an entertaining sight.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Not to mention all the men in the Son family have almost the exact same voice.
Vegeta: Hai...even Bardock was victim to the type-3 voice-gene. (Bardock, Goku, Gohan, and Goten all va'd by the same woman)
Goku: (blinks) Then how come Ditsu has a deep voice?
Vegeta: (flatly) He got lucky. IMMENSELY lucky.
Goku: (pouts) You say that like my lil voice is a bad thing.
Vegeta: (waves hands in a panic) It's not it's not!! It's just, unique, that's all.
Goku: (smiles) Hee~~ I am VERY unique, little Veggie.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Yes you are.
Chuquita: Care to introduce the last chapter of the fic, Son-kun?
Goku: HAI! (clears his throat) Here's part 4 to "Veggietine's Day 3!"
Summary: It's Valentine's Day again and this time Veggie's found a surefire way to prevent anything bizarre from happening to
him at home this time, by taking his peasant out to a resturant for a platonic-scheduled-meeting! But what happens when Goku
shows up for the meeting in his oujo costume? Will Veggie still have the guts to go through with his plan, or will a vision
given to Raditsu stop Veggie in his tracks? And what do Bulma & Chi-Chi think of all this?
Chapter 4 Titles (since ff.net has shortened the space in the chapter-bars)
Chi-Chi's plan--find the spaceship! l ostrich-riding for beginners l saiyajin-puppetry and a game of twister l watch the tramcar l Veggie's "little" voice l Goku's daydream l connections l who will pilot the ship? l To Bejito-sei! l Veggie visits his *home* l Raditsu wins! Shortest straw! l Homeward bound l a spur-of-the-moment-purely-platonic idea l Raditsu gets his valentines!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" What do you MEAN that's the least of their troubles!! " Bulma exclaimed, grabbing Raditsu's gi tighter.
" Well, depending on how close they get to it, it could affect their brains with enough zeno to start an all-out
battle inside the ship, and, with how strong Vegeta and Kakarrotto are, either destory the ship itself or send themselves
hurtling deep into space. " Raditsu said, still slightly pale at the thought.
" Oh... " Bulma calmed down, letting go of him, " Good.
Raditsu sweatdropped, " How is that GOOD?! They could randomly start throwing stuff at each other and may end up
seriously damaging the ship! "
" Well, haha, this may sound silly Raditsu but I thought you were going to say something like the moon makes you guys
go into heat. Hahaha. " Bulma laughed nervously.
Raditsu stared at her, " No....we have a season sorta like that back on Bejito-sei though that's caused by certain
weather patterns. " he thought outloud.
Bulma paused from laughing and stared at him, " Would it affect them here? "
" ...not unless they were on Bejito-sei outside during the storm. " Raditsu said, uneasy, " Why are you asking me
sexually-related questions!! " he exclaimed.
" I just want to make sure Vegeta's oh-kay up there with Son-kun, that's all. " Bulma nodded.
" Uh-huh... "
" Raditsu! "
" Hm? " the large saiyajin looked over his shoulder to see Chi-Chi grinning at him, " What? "
" I'VE got a brilliant idea! But I need your help! " she put her hand on Raditsu's shoulder.
" It doesn't involve hurting Vegeta, does it? " Bulma narrowed her eyes.
" Eh? Of course not! ::At least not until the Ouji's back on land again:: " Chi-Chi said brightly, " Listen, if the
Ouji won't bring Goku and himself back down, then we'll bring ourselves up to them--and then bring them down. " she started,
" What I mean is, I want you to help me find your old spaceship, then we'll have Bulma repair it and send one of us into
space, board the Ouji's ship, and convince him and Goku to come back to Earth! Sounds safe, right? "
" If you could manage to fix the window on my ship, then yeah it could probably fly again. " Raditsu nodded.
" GREAT! " Chi-Chi clasped her hands together. She grabbed him by the arm, " And everyone else can come with us! "
" I'm not going! " Bulma said.
" Why not? "
" Well....for one I don't want to leave the only contact I have with Vegeta alone, and two....well I, just think I
should stay here and keep an eye on him incase he needs my help, or advice. You know. " she scooched closer to the machine.
" Oh-kay. " Chi-Chi shrugged, then turned to face the rest of the group, " Gohan, Goten! " she smiled, then
sweatdropped when she felt Vejitto and Gogeta grinning Son-style behind her, " Demi-Oujis. " she said flatly.
" YAY! " Vejitto cheered, " We get to see Uncle Ditsu's spaceship! "
Raditsu sweatdropped as he watched them all dash upstairs, then followed them, " Yeah, that is if it's still there. "

" WHY IS IT NO LONGER HERE!! " Chi-Chi exclaimed. The group stood at the ledge of the crater Raditsu's spaceship had
landed.
" Somebody probably stole it. " Raditsu frowned.
" That can't be! I saw those spaceships on tv, they're HUGE! And HEAVY! Besides, nobody ever saw YOU land! The Ouji
and Nappa's ships were recorded on videocameras but not yours because you never caused any massive destruction! " Chi-Chi
said.
" Other than this hole. " Raditsu sweatdropped at it.
" How did you guys ever land on Bejito-sei without causing hundreds of craters like this? " Gohan said, puzzled.
" We have high-tech landing gear that cushions the ships so this doesn't happen. " Raditsu replied while Chi-Chi
worriedly paced back and forth in the background.
" Ohhhh, are you SURE this is the right place, Raditsu? Maybe you landed somewhere else? " Chi-Chi offered.
" Nope, this is it. " Vejitto said.
" We are sure of it, thanks to Kaasan's memories! " Gogeta pointed to his head and Vejitto's.
" Sorry Chi-Chi. " Raditsu said, then nodded, " I KNOW this has to be the spot because that's the farm I landed next
to. " he pointed off to his right where a large ostrich farm happened to be.
" HAH! A farm! Meaning there MUST be people ON the farm. Surely THEY must know what happened to your ship! " Chi-Chi
clasped her hands together.

" YOU SOLD IT?! " Chi-Chi gawked as she and the group stood in the backyard to the farm. Raditsu, Gohan, and
Kinto'un gawked as well. Vejitto, Gogeta, and Goten rode random ostriches in the distance.
" Get a-long little doggies! " Gogeta laughed as the ostrich he was riding ran about the lawn.
" WHEE! Faster! " Goten cheered.
" HAHAH!! WHEE! " Vejitto had one foot on each ostrich's back and stearing them with a long rope, " GOGGIE LOOK AT
ME! "
Gogeta grinned, " Ooh! Let me try! " he turned his ostrich in Vejitto's direction and rode over to him.
" Of course I sold it! Whatever bizarre space-monster came out of that thing shot my husband's own bullet into his
head and he's been in a COMA ever since! " the old woman exclaimed.
Raditsu slunk in place slightly, then looked away and shifted uneasily.
" I sold the spaceship to Orange City Museum. They gladly took that piece of junk and the money just about covered
our health costs. " she folded her arms, then glanced over at Raditsu who froze in place.
" Uh, hi. " Raditu waved to her.
" Why are you asking about the spaceship? " the old woman asked Chi-Chi, " How could you possibly know about it?
Maybe you KNOW where that space-creature is? Or maybe you're an alien YOURSELF! " she poked Chi-Chi sharply in the stomach
with her cane.
" I'M NOT AN ALIEN I'M A HUMAN BEING!! " Chi-Chi shouted, then folded her arms, " And if you must know we're here
on behalf of the West City Daily News. We were doing a follow-up article on outer space and wanted to get a picture of the
craft. "
" Smooth move. " Raditsu said, impressed.
" Thank you. " Chi-Chi grinned.
" Oh, journalists. Well I'm sorry young lady but you won't find any pictures of that thing around here. The museum'll
probably let you take a few shots though. " the old woman said.
" Well thanks for your time, we'll be going now! " Chi-Chi waved, as she, Gohan, Raditsu, and Kinto'un backed away,
" GOTEN! DEMI-OUJIS! WE'RE GOING TO ORANGE CITY! "
" Hooray! " Goten cheered, hopping off the ostrich, " That's where Videl lives! She can help us, right Gohan! " he
ran up to his brother.
" I really don't think we should drag Videl into this, I'd rather not trouble her about it. " Gohan sweatdropped.
" Aww, Gohan-chan! How sweet of you! " Chi-Chi clasped her hands together, " But I'm sure it won't be any trouble at
all! Now with how much you and Videl love each other! " she turned to Raditsu, " She's going to be your niece-in-law, you
know! "
Raditsu sweatdropped, then looked back over his shoulder at Gohan who was staring at the ground with an embarassed
look on his bright red face, " Videl...does she have black hair and blue eyes? "
" Uh, how did you know? " Gohan looked up, surprised.
" Ah, " Raditsu was unsure if he should mention the futuristic photo-album at this point, " I saw the two of you in
a picture, at Kakarrotto's house. "
" That's her! " Chi-Chi said brightly, " They make such a PERFECT couple, don't they? "

" Will it be done soon? " Goku asked as he sat on the little chair and stared at the cake in the makeshift oven.
" Another 15 or 20 minutes, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta glanced at the clock.
" Oh. " Goku said, then smiled, " Veggie wanna play a game with me? "
" What kind of game? " the ouji tilted an eyebrow.
" Well... " Goku stood up, then pulled two things out from behind him, " We can play puppets! " he held out two
wooden X's with strings that led down to two, foot-tall, Goku and Vegeta puppets. Both puppets looked eerily realistic and
were wearing their usual training outfits. The Goku puppet had a little smile on its face and the Vegeta one was smirking,
" Here! " Goku held out one of them to the ouji.
" But, that one's you. " Vegeta pointed uneasily to the puppet Goku was holding out to him.
" I know! Chi-chan plays this with me sometimes too! It's to make sure I'm not,...not... " he tried to think of the
word, " Ooh! Not going the way of my possible-future counterpart! We pretend to be each other! It's a buddy-game! " he
grinned.
" If it's a "buddy" game then why are you playing it with Onna? " Vegeta asked.
Goku paused, " Well, Chi-chan says it's an "exercise", but I made it into a game! " he grinned.
" Oh. " the ouji said, then looked at the Goku puppet and took it, " Well, alright. "
" Veggie ready to play? " the larger saiyajin said with a grin on his face. Vegeta nodded, " YAY! " Goku moved the
strings to the Vegeta-puppet and the little wooden ouji waddled babishly over to the Goku-puppet, " Hi, Kakay! " Goku said
for the puppet in a little, cutsy voice.
Vegeta's cheeks flushed read, " I don't sound like that! "
Goku only tilted his head, " It's only a game, little Veggie. "
Vegeta snorted, then held up the Goku-puppet, " Hello, Kakarro--ah, Veggie. "
" Veh-GEE! That is not how my voice sounds. It's higher than that. " Goku pouted, then smiled coyly, " Veggie use
your "little" voice! "
" I'M NOT USING THE "little" VOICE FOR THIS!! " the ouji's whole face turned bright red this time. Goku's bottom lip
wobbled. Vegeta fidgeted, " FINE. I'll use my "little" voice-- "
" --~*YAY*~-- "
" --IF you lower yours to make that likeness of myself sound a little more like me and less like you speaking to a
baby. " Vegeta folded his arms and smirked.
Goku frowned, " But Veggie, I am not that good at lowering my voice, it only goes so low. "
" Well, try. "
Goku coughed a bit to clear his throat, " How's this? " he said in a tone of voice somewhere around Vegeta and
Raditsu's and sounded near identical to his Funi dub voice.
Vegeta's jaw dropped, " You could speak in a normal male tone all this time AND NEVER TOLD ME?! " he gawked.
" I can talk deep but it hurts my throat, Veggie. Besides it is not my real voice, this is. " Goku said in his usual
high-pitched tone again.
" Yeah.....sure... " Vegeta said, a little creeped out.
" Hee~~ you learn something new ev-er-ry DAY, little Veggie! " Goku chirped, then cleared his throat again and went
back into the manlier tone of voice as he moved the strings to the Vegeta-puppet, " Ready to go, Veh--ah, Kakarrotto? "
" ... "
" Kakarrotto? "
" ... " Vegeta's cheeks started turning red.
" Veggie? " Goku said in his normal voice, worried.
" Promise me you won't gush the moment I start speaking in it. " Vegeta said bluntly.
Goku nodded sweetly.
" That wasn't an agreement that was a surpressed feeling of soon-to-be overflowing-gushiness. " the ouji twitched.
" I luv u too, Veggie! "
Vegeta sighed, then took a deep breath and made his Goku-puppet nod to the Vegeta one, " Hi little Veggie, how are
u this won-der-ful mor-ning. " the ouji said sweetly in his 'little' voice and added a Goku-ish accent for the puppet. He
looked up and nearly shrieked to see Goku staring at him in a daze with a trail of drool dribbling out the side of his mouth.
" I LUV U. " Goku said in his normal voice, dazed.
" WAHHH! " Vegeta screamed and fell backwards onto his rear end just as the communication screen started to beep. He
looked over his shoulder at the blocked wall-monitor like it was his ticket to escape. Vegeta stumbled to his feet and ran
over to the monitor, then lightly lifted the top up enough for him to see Bulma and for her to see most of his head, " Yes
Bulma? " the ouji and Bulma paused and Vegeta embarassingly coughed to get back to his usual tone of voice from the little
one, " Yes Bulma? "
" I was just checking on you. I ah, heard additional voices and I got worried. " Bulma said, her eyes deadlocked on
him.
" Oh, Kakarrotto and I are just playing a game to pass the time while the cake bakes. " Vegeta explained, " He's got
a me puppet and I've got one of him. " Vegeta held up the little Goku-puppet while in the background Goku was putting cute
little outfits on the Veggie-puppet.
" Oh. "
" ... "
" That's, ah...that's nice. " Bulma said, trying to remain cheerful.
" Look Bulma! Veggie's takin a nap! " Goku held up the Vegeta-puppet, which was now wearing a little set of pajamas
identical to a pair of pajamas Vegeta actually owned.
" That's....nice as well, Son-kun. " Bulma laughed nervously.
Goku waddled back and sat down on the floor, then pulled out a little toy bed, again--identical to Vegeta's real bed,
and set it on the ground, then tucked the little wooden Vegeta-puppet in and gave it a small smooch on the cheek, " There. "
the large saiyajin said warmly, " I hope you have only sweet dreams, little Veggie~~ "
Vegeta's bottom left eyelid twitched and he turned back to Bulma, who's bottom right eyelid was copying Vegeta's left
.
" Are you, sure you don't want to come down yet? " Bulma asked him, concerned.
" I'm fine, really. " Vegeta choked out, " B--besides, how else am I going to prove to you that I can handle this? "
" I KNOW you can handle this, Vegeta! I just don't want you getting hurt! " Bulma exclaimed, " I love you. "
" I love you too. " the ouji smirked.
" Oop, looks like nap time is over. Time to start a fer-resh new day! " Goku's voice came from the background as the
Vegeta-puppet got up out of bed and 'yawned', " Oh that was a wonderful nap, I better get dressed so I am ready to play with
Kakarrotto once he comes over. " Goku used his man-voice.
Bulma gawked, then whispered to Vegeta, " That was GOKU talking? "
" He gets a little bizarrer everyday, doesn't he? " Vegeta said flatly, " I was as unaware as you were that he could
sound like that. "
" Oh, this looks perfect for my fun day with Kakay-chan. " the Vegeta-puppet held up a little blue gi.
" So that's how you want to play the game, huh? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow at Goku as he watched the larger saiyajin
put the little blue gi on his puppet self.
" I just luv my new little gi because I look so ~*cute*~ & ~*cuddily*~ in it just like Kakay said I would! " Goku
was back to using the baby-voice to voice the little ouji-puppet.
" This means war. " Vegeta glared, then turned back to the Goku-puppet and started stripping it.
" AHH! VEGETA WHAT ARE YOU DOING! " Bulma panicked. Vegeta looked up, just about to remove the final article of
clothing--the boxers--from the Goku-puppet.
" I'm fighting fire with fire, Bulma. " the ouji smirked, then pulled out a little pair of frilly pink panties, " Now
, won't these look "cute" & "cuddily" on you, Kakay. I think they'll look very lovely as a matter of fact. "
Bulma sunk beneath the monitor's visiblity range, " I think I may have to wash my eyeballs out. " she said weakly,
her eyes bulging out of her head.
Vegeta reached for the boxers and quickly, yet with some embarassment, swapped them with the panties. He nervously
looked up to the monitor again, " Bulma? " Vegeta whispered.
" What? " Bulma whispered back, keeping her eyes away from the screen.
Vegeta gulped, " It has all its...its PARTS!! "
Bulma's eyes widened, " But, it's a doll... "
" --Puppet! "
" Same thing! " Bulma whispered.
Vegeta shook his head to clear the disturbing fact out of his mind, then smirked again and pulled out a tiny outfit
that surprisingly matched the puppet's size, then put it on the puppet and grinned. He held up the wooden x the strings led
to and held out the puppet, " Oh Kakarrotto~~ ? " Vegeta said in sing-song tone of voice.
Goku had just finished fastening a little blue bow around the gi-wearing Vegeta-puppet's tail, " Veggie should wear
cute little gi's everyday, don't you think? " he asked the puppet, then shook it to make movements while Goku talked, " Oh
yes, Kakay, I would look cuter AND feel more comfortable since gi's are so nice and loose-fitting instead of tight and
form-fitting like that outfit I usually wear. "
" Well I happen to think you look MUCH better in your more saiyajin-ish attire then that mind-numbing kaka-wear,
V-sama. " Vegeta's 'little' voice came from just out of Goku's vision. Goku glanced over to see Vegeta bent down not a foot
away from him holding the Goku-puppet's strings--the puppet dressed up in a mini-version of the servant-maid outfit. Vegeta
had a huge sly grin on his face.
" AHHHHHHHHH! " Goku shrieked and lept back several feet, " VEGGIE THAT'S NOT F--FUNNY! " he shakily pointed at what
the Goku-puppet was wearing.
" Well I happen to think it is. " Vegeta smirked, " Besides, if you can dress up YOUR toy over there the way you want
, then I certainly can do the same for mine. "
" ... " Goku nervously hugged onto the Vegeta-puppet.
" Whatsa matter Kakay? Has it been so long since you've seen this particular outfit--even though this isn't your real
one--that it sends an uneventful chill down your spine? Just because you've been so engulfed in your "oujo" quest lately
doesn't mean I've forgotten about my own, you know. " Vegeta snickered.
" You HAVEN'T?! " Bulma said in surprise from behind him.
Vegeta looked over his shoulder and sweatdropped, " OF COURSE I HAVEN'T!! Kakarrotto's "oujo" desires have become so
prominent lately that my desire to make him my servant-maid has slipped back under the radar of quite a few of you. " he
chuckled, " You need an offense as well as a defense when battling Kakarrotto, Bulma. "
" Uh...right. " Bulma blinked, confused.
" Kakarrotto. " Vegeta stood up, " As long as you decide to keep that "me" puppet in your line of kaka-clothes, then
your "Kakarrotto" puppet will remain in his "cute" little servant-maid outfit. " he grinned evilly and tugged on the outfit's
skirt, then looked down at it, " Isn't that right, Kakay? Hai V-sama, I'd rather be your own personal servant-maid anyday
than your oujo seeing as I have no sexual desires for you.. "
" Well, somebody's gotten brave all of a sudden. " Bulma said flatly, " Using the real word instead of your made-up
"non-platonic", eh? "
Vegeta leaned over so she could see him better and smirked, " I've got Kakarrotto sitting shyly at the other end of
the room shaking, Bulma. I haven't struck fear into Kakay's heart in a long time. Besides if that's how he really portrays me
in his mind he could use a little reminder that my brain isn't just in my head for show. "
" Oh brother. " Bulma groaned, " I thought you were in there to prove you only care for Son-kun platonically, not to
scare him half to death as well! "
Vegeta turned back to Goku and grinned, " I'm not scaring you, am I Kakay? " he tilted his head as Goku kept his eyes
locked on the Goku-puppet and the uniform it was wearing.
" Ehhhhh... " Goku shuddered, " V--Veggie? "
" Hai? "
" D--don't you think the me-puppet would much rather enjoy wearing his saiyajin no Oujo outfit? " Goku held up a
mini costume for the puppet as well as a mini-oujo-crown, " It--it's much more comfortable than that other outfit with it's
short little skirt and the head thingy. "
" It's a beautiful outfit for a young female oujo but I am a simple male peasant, therefore I cannot wear that
pretty gown. " the Vegeta-puppet "said".
" Oh for crying out loud! " Bulma exclaimed, turning around and walking off. Both saiyajins stared blankly as she
stomped off to another part of the lab.
" ... "
" ... " Goku and Vegeta blinked.
Goku put the outfit in Vegeta-puppet's hands, then had him walk over to the Goku-puppet, " But Kakay, " he said in
his deep voice, " As your Ouji I feel that there is no one more dee-serving of the EXCITING AMAZING WONDERFUL EXOTIC
BEAUTIFUL BREATH-TAKING title of my Oujo, than you. "
Vegeta paused for a moment, shocked, ::Kakarrotto is THAT much impressed by the title of saiyajin no oujo?! That's..
...wow:: " I'm afraid I can't accept your offer, Kaka---ah, V-sama, for I am not worthy of the many types of commitments
being your Oujo requires-- "
" --dance with me, Kakay! " the Vegeta-puppet grabbed the Goku-puppet and started to waltz it softly around in a
circle while Vegeta felt his hand go numb, " ~*My Oujo..*~ "
" ... " Vegeta twitched, " This is getting weird again... "

" *Ding-Dong*! " Chi-Chi happily rang the doorbell.
Gohan groaned, " I can't believe we're doing this! "
" Hello? " Videl opened the door, then smiled, " Gohan! "
" Hi. " he grinned cheesily and waved to her.
" What are you and....almost your entire family doing here. " she trailed off weakly at the sight of the semi-large
group of people.
" We need directions to the Orange City museum and if possible some help retrieving Goku-san's older brother's
spaceship from inside it. " Chi-Chi motioned to Raditsu.
Videl's eyes bugged out of her head, " G--Gohan's UNCLE?! "
" My name's Raditsu. " he laughed nervously and shook her hand.
" But, I didn't even know Gohan HAD an uncle! " Videl gawked.
" It's a long story, trust me. " Gohan sweatdropped.
Videl glanced over at Chi-Chi, " Mrs. Son, he doesn't look anything LIKE Mr. Son! "
" Umm, I have my Toussan's eyes while Kakarrotto has Toussan's hair, and Kakarrotto has a mix of Toussan and Kaasan's
eyes while I have the back of Kaasan's hair. " he pointed to his hair, then momentarily flipped three fairly large bangs
forward that almost blocked his eyes. Raditsu pulled them back again, " And I have no idea WHO I got a widow's peak from. "
" Probably from being exposed to the Ouji for so long. " Chi-Chi grumbled, then patted Raditsu on the shoulder
sympathetically, " You poor thing. "
Raditsu sweatdropped.
" So! Can you help us? " Chi-Chi asked.
" Sure. " Videl said brightly as she walked out and closed the door behind her, " Orange City's museum is half a
dozen blocks from here, but they have tramcars all throughout the city and if we use them we should be there in no time! "
" YEAH! " Vejitto cheered.
Chi-Chi looked over at him and Gogeta and sweatdropped to see the duo were still on the ostriches they had met on the
farm, " Shouldn't you give those BACK by now! " she twitched.
" Silly Onna, birds are free! Haven't you ever heard of that saying, "free as a bird"? " Gogeta laughed.
" Those aren't FREE, that old woman makes MONEY off of them! What you two just did isn't any different than driving
somebody else's CAR right off their front lawn!! " Chi-Chi shouted.
" *CAWWWWW*!! " Gogeta's ostrich cawwed loudly at Chi-Chi, who jumped back in fright.
Vejitto laughed as Gogeta grinned, " Heeheehee~~, come on Chi-Chi, lighten up. " Vejitto said.
" Demi-Ouji, that's an OSTRICH! THE LARGEST LIVING BIRD ON THE PLANET! There is no WAY we will ever be able to get
two OSTRICHES onto a TRAMCAR!! "
dl
/dl

" *Watch the tramcar please, watch, watch, watch the tramcar*. " the age-old recorded tramcar voice said as the
tramcar rode down the street. Chi-Chi and company all sitting inside it.
A little girl sat awkwardly between Raditsu and Kinto'un while Vejitto and Gogeta stood in the middle of the car atop
their ostriches who were both dressed up in fake noses and mustaches along with coats and hats. Vejitto's ostrich started
pecking at the boots both birds were now wearing.
The girl tugged on her mother's pantleg, " Look Mommy! It's a traveling circus! " she squealed.
" WAHHH!! " Chi-Chi fell over, then got back, " WE ARE NOT A TRAVELING CIRCUS! We're going to steal my space-alien
brother-in-law's spaceship so we can save my husband from being seduced by an evil Ouji who he's currently circling the
planet's orbit with right now!!! "
" ... " the little girl stared at her, then started laughing again, " HAHAHA! CLOWN-LADY! "
Chi-Chi twitched while a cloud of doom rained overtop of her head in annoyance.
" And these are Big Bird's cousins! Supersize and Jumbo! " Vejitto chirped, lifting the glasses/nose/mustache combos
off the ostriches for a moment.
" AHH! " the little girl clapped excitedly.
" You don't need to complicate things any worse than they already ARE. " a vein bulged on Chi-Chi's forhead as she
looked back at Vejitto.
The portara fusion grinned, " I know, but it's so much more FUN this way! "

" Umm, sorry about that, Chi-Chi. " Videl laughed nervously as the group finally got off the tramcar, " It's only a
few more buildings until the museum. " she said.
" Nn. " Videl only recieved an annoyed grunt in return. The girl sweatdropped.
Videl turned to face the fusions while she now walked backwards, " Hey Vejitto, Gogeta? I don't think you can take
big birds like that into the museum. "
" Oh, oh-kay. " Vejitto said as he and Gogeta hopped off the birds.
" YOU EASILY GET OFF THEM FOR HER AND YET YOU DON'T EVEN BUDGE WHEN I TELL YOU TO GET RID OF THEM A HALF-HOUR AGO!! "
Chi-Chi screamed.
" ...yes. " Vejitto said, blinking, confused. Gogeta grinned in a way that would've made Vegeta proud.
" AAARGH!! " Chi-Chi pulled at her hair in frustration.
" If you pull it all out we'll make it up to you and buy you a nice wig. " Vejitto offered. Chi-Chi sent him a
death-glare, " Or-not. " he said quickly, then turned to the ostriches, " Now FLY! Fly away and be FREE my fellow feathered
friends! "
" HOORAY! " Gogeta cheered, " Off into the wild blue yonder with you!! "
" ... "
" ... "
The ostriches just stood there.
" What is wrong with them? " Vejitto cocked his head.
Gohan sighed, " They can't fly. Ostriches are flightless birds, Vejitto; they rely on their long legs to move
around. "
" Oh. " Vejitto said.
" I thought they weren't flying because we were too heavy for them. " Gogeta nodded.
Gohan sighed again, " You know what? Let's, let's just go inside and, hopefully they'll both still be out here when
we get back. " he said, walking into the museum.
" Oh-kay! " Gogeta gave him a thumbs-up, then followed Gohan and the rest of the group into the building.
Vejitto walked in after, then poked his head back out just in-time to see both ostriches fly away. His jaw opened
slightly and he turned back to the others with a I-toldja-so look on his face, " HAH!! "

" Nnn.. " Vegeta grunted as he sat and stared at the timer to the cake, " Three more minutes.. "
" Oh Kakay you look so pretty in your Saiyajin Oujo uniform. "
" Why thank you Veggie I think it is MUCH nicer than that scary servant-maid outfit I had on before. Chi-chan never
ever lets me wear my Oujo uniform out of the house so this is such a special treat. " Goku was now playing with both puppets
at the other side of the room, the Goku-puppet wearing the Oujo uniform while the Vegeta-puppet was still in the little blue
gi.
Vegeta tried to ignore him, " You don't have to keep playing with them like that. " his cheeks flushed red. The ouji
glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.
" ... " Goku paused as he looked at the puppets, then called over to Vegeta, " Would Veggie like to play something
else? "
" Hai, I would VERY much like to play something else. We have to wait for the cake to cool anyway once it's out or
else the icing will melt when we try and put it on. " Vegeta nodded.
" Great! " Goku tucked the two puppets into the mini-bed and pulled out a gameboard. He walked over to the little
ouji and grinned, " Veggie look! "
The ouji glanced over his shoulder and cocked an eyebrow at the strange gameboard Goku was holding up, " What's
THAT? "
" TWISTER! " Goku chirped.
" WAHHH! " Bulma fell over at her desk. She got up and spoke into the monitor, " VEGETA DON'T!! "
" What? I don't even know what it is! " the ouji sweatdropped, then turned to Goku, " Is it like that game Bulma's
mother has on raindays when you try and guess who on the board is the killer and what their murder weapon is? "
" Clue? " Bulma blinked.
" Hai! That one! " Vegeta said.
Bulma sweatdropped, " You would like the boardgame with a murder in it. " she sighed, then spoke up, " Vegeta Twister
isn't anything LIKE Clue! Twister involves moving your body into positions so you can reach certain spots on the board and if
you can't reach the spot you lose! But that's not important! What's important is that you can end up in some VERY unusual
positions and I really REALLY don't think you and Son-kun playing Twister together is the smartest move to make when trapped
in a spaceship alone with him. "
" HA! It's a stretching game, eh? " Vegeta said with that I've-been-given-a-challenge-of-my-strength look on his face
, " Well I'll have you know I can out-stretch and out-manuver Kakarrotto easily. " he blocked the monitor again so Bulma
couldn't see. Vegeta turned to face Goku, " You're ON, Kakarrotto! " he said determindly.
Goku cheered, " HOORAY! " he layed the board out and plopped the spinner on the ground, " I go first! " he spun the
spinner, then smiled, " Left foot red. " the large saiyajin said, then did so, " Heeheehee. Veggie's turn! " he handed the
spinner to Vegeta, who smirked.
" Heh, this should be easy. "

" ....*huff*..*huff*.. "
" *huff*...*huff*... "
" Guys? Guys? " Bulma said uneasily as she tried to see past the large paper blocking the screen. There had been
random giggles, snorts, and yelling for the first 15 minutes of the game and then all of a sudden everything had gone silent
except for two nervous, heavy panting sounds.
" ... " Goku looked up at the bright red little ouji who looked like his brain had just taken a permanent vacation.
Goku, who's face was bright pink itself, reached nervously over to spin, " ..Veggie? "
" I think I'm, almost straddling you, Kakarrotto. " the ouji squeaked out.
" ...what's that mean, Veggie? " the larger saiyajin squeaked out as well.
" ...I don't think I can answer that right now......I think only about 20% of my brain is currently functioning at
the moment. "
" Oh. "
" ... "
" ... "
" We can, quit you know. "
" I'm not quiting now. " Vegeta protested, still bright red, " If we quit now without one of us winning and one of us
losing then these entire past 15 minutes had no reason to exist, and if they had no reason to exist then that would mean I
would be in this position with you without a reason and that would most likely trigger a panic attack in my brain or,
something. "
" Something good, or something bad? "
" I DON'T KNOW JUST SPIN THE WHEEL!! " Vegeta screamed.
Goku reached over and spun it, " Left hand blue. " he looked around the board, then spotted a spot and reached his
arm out towards it, " Ung.....arg.... " Goku felt his hand slip out from under him, " OOF! " the large saiyajin yelped, fell
out of place and slammed into the floor. He pouted, " Ohh, game over I lose. "
" I...win? " Vegeta choked out. Goku nodded, " Haha, I win. I WIN!! " he lept to his feet, his entire body still
shaky, " I was in several embarassing positions with Kakarrotto and I made it through without losing my mind!! BWAHAHAHA! I
WIN!! TAKE THAT, SUPPOSED "FUTURE"!! " he shook his fist in the air, then felt his knees give way and slumped down onto
his butt, " Ahh, that feels better. " Vegeta said, then glanced over at Goku, " You didn't, LET me win because you were
afraid of my brain exploding, did you, Kakarrotto? "
" Oh NO Veggie! I would never cheat! Not Twister! " Goku gasped.
" Hai...that is correct, you're not one to cheat. " Vegeta pondered. He shakily stood up, his cheeks still glowing
bright red, " Well, I, I'm going to wash off and then come help you ice the cake. Is that alright, Kakarrotto? "
Goku smiled, " That is just fine with me, little Veggie! "
dl

" Heh, I can do it. I can really do it. " Vegeta beamed as he reached over his shoulder and started washing his back,
" I was able to be temporarily stuck in an almost non-platonic position with Kakarrotto and NOT lose my mind! This means I
have a fighting chance! What a WONDERFUL tidbit of knowledge. " he scrubbed some more, then froze when he smelled something
just outside the curtain. Vegeta opened the curtain and yelped to see Goku sitting on the bathroom floor with his arms around
his legs, " Ahhh... " Vegeta started to turn red, " K--Kakarrotto, what are you doing here? "
The larger saiyajin pouted, " I got lonely. It is no fun being in there all alone in space little Veggie. It's
scary. "
" You don't think I know that? Try traveling back to Freeza's "compound" with your scouter shot thus making it
impossible for you to communicate with anyone for 8 hours straight! "
" Nnn... " Goku whimpered at the thought, " I do not think I could be all alone like that, Veggie. "
" Well, you don't have to. Because I'm here and as long as we're up here waiting to come back down to Earth again,
I'll keep you company. After all, we have at least 7 hours of "Veggietine's Day" left you know. "
" ...thanks Veggie. " Goku smiled warmly, " I am happy to have my Veggie around. "
" Good. " Vegeta nodded, " Now, Kakarrotto? "
" Hai? "
" Do you, mind leaving the room for just a few minutes? Your scent is starting to really make itself known. " the
ouji sweatdropped.
" But Veggie... " the larger saiyajin frowned, " I don't like how it feels out there all alone. "
" Then, go in the bedroom and take a nap--I'm almost done here. " the ouji sputtered.
" Alright. " Goku got up and waddled out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Vegeta sighed, then started shampooing his hair, " It's, so much easier to deal with Kakarrotto without having
everyone right on my back scrutinizing my moves like there's some alterior, non-platonic motive behind it. " he leaned back
against the shower wall, " I need a break from all this. Sort things out, maybe I'll feel better. "
::Or MAYBE you'll discover your most deep-rooted fears to be true!:: the little voice in the back of his head taunted
.
Vegeta froze in place, " WAHHH! WHY ME!! " he thunked his head against the wall.
dl

dl
/dl
Goku looked up from the bed he was laying in after hearing the thunk, " That sounded like little Veggie's head. " he
blinked, " VEGGIE ARE YOU ALRIGHT? "
" I'M FINE, KAKARROTTO! " Vegeta's voice shouted back, groaning.
Goku nodded, then closed his eyes and snuggled into the many large, comfy sheets and fell asleep,...
:::" *Do*do*do*do*do*do*do*, *do*do*do*do*do*do*do*do*do*do*do*, *do*do*do*do*do*do*do*, *do*, *do*do*do*do*do*do*. "
Goku blinked confusedly as the Jeopardy theme-song music played in the background. The large saiyajin looked around
to see he was standing the middle of outer-space, yet could miraculously breathe. Beneath him was a twister board about 10
times the size of the one he had played on with Vegeta earlier, " Ooh. This is new. " Goku waddled around, then suddenly
heard a spinner spin above him.
" Right hand yellow. " the booming voice said as a life-sized, smiling, Vegeta-plushie instantly popped out of every
yellow circle on the board.
" AHH! " Goku squealed at the sight of the plushies, then lundged to glomp one only to have them all instantly be
pulled back under the board.
" Left foot green. "
Goku watched as the plushies instantly popped out of every green space on the board instead. There was one directly
infront of him tilting its head sweetly to the right. The large saiyajin's eyes widened in awe and he thrust his arms out to
grab it only to just miss it by a second.
" Right foot red. "
The plushies popped out of the red space.
" Oh, I get it! " Goku got up, " It is like whack'a'mole and Twister, only with Veggie plushies as the prize! " he
clasped his hands together, then struck a fighting position and watched the plushies bounce up through different-colored
holes three more times.
" Left hand bl-- "
" HAAAAAA!! " Goku screamed as he lept at the closest life-sized Vegeta-plushie and tackled it to the ground, " Haha!
Mine mine mine! " he hugged the plushie close while the rest of the plushies watched. Goku sighed happily, then froze as the
Vegeta-plushie suddenly enlarged to gigantic proportions, leaving Goku stranded high up on its stomach, " Oop! "
The giant Vegeta-plushie sat its head up slightly and smiled warmly at the saiyajin, it's eyes shining.
" Aww, hello super-big Veggie-plushie! How ARE you! " Goku said, touched. He suddenly paused as he started to sink
into the plush surface he was on, " Huh? " Goku looked around tried to get up only to panic that he couldn't move and was
sinking in further and further until all he saw was, the floor of the resturant?
Goku sat up to see he was back in the resturant he had eaten with the ouji in earlier, and back in his oujo uniform.
" Kakay-chan are you oh-kay? " a little voice said from above him and Goku looked up to see Vegeta standing there in
his tux with a large sign around his neck that read "Free Smoochies".
Goku's eyes widened at the sign, " Is that sign for real? "
" Hai, Kakay. " the ouji said, still using the 'little' voice, " Would, you like a free smoochie? " his cheeks turned
a shy red color.
" Aww, of course I would little Veggie. " Goku walked over to Vegeta, who was smiling at him while his tail wagged
back and forth. Goku grinned and bent down to the ouji's height only to have something suddenly yank at the back of his neck,
" ACK!! "
" GO-CHAN!! " a loud voice repremanded him from above him. Goku looked up and gasped to see a giant Chi-Chi glaring
down at him while holding a wooden x who's strings led right down to Goku's arms, legs, and head, " You should know BETTER
than that! Don't you learn ANYTHING from these exercises! " she pulled up on the strings causing Goku to be yanked up into
the air by his arms while he watched the little ouji staring up at him blankly, " No "smooching" or kissing the Ouji, rule
number #3! REMEMBER! "
The large saiyajin gulped as his cheeks flushed pink, " Yes-Chi-chan! ":::

" Kakarrotto! Get out of my bed! "
" Yes-Chi-chan. " Goku mumbled in his sleep. Vegeta sweatdropped and poked Goku in the arm with the broom once again.
" Come on Kakarrotto! " Vegeta poked him harder with the broom.
Goku sleepily opened his eyes to see Vegeta standing there with a towel around his waist and a broom in one hand and
the other holding the towel in place. The little ouji's hair was soaked, and, due to that, temporarily obeying the law of
gravity. He smiled at Vegeta, " Do I get my free smoochie now? "
" WAHH! " Vegeta's face turned bright red and the ouji jumped back 3 feet, " WHAT "FREE SMOOCHIE"!? "
Goku sat up to discover he was back in the room he had fallen asleep in. He pouted slightly, " Oh, it was only a
dream, huh? "
" You must have one bizarre imagination, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta sweatdropped, the redness dissipating.
" Heeheehee. " Goku grinned at him, then hopped off the bed.
The ouji inspected the sheets by whipping out a magnifying glass and paled to see dozens of kaka-germs still sound
asleep on the bed. Vegeta turned a pale green, " I may need to use my Peasant-Repel on this. " he said, then left the room
to go get the bottle only to pause and point to Goku, " Kakarrotto! "
" Yes little Veggie? " Goku chirped while his tail wagged back and forth.
" Would you mind leaving my room for a while? " Vegeta sweatdropped.
Goku thought for a moment, then nodded, " K! " he said and skipped out. Vegeta followed and walked proudly up to the
blocked monitor.
" Bulma? "
" Vegeta? " the voice on the other end said hopefully.
Vegeta lifted the paper slightly and grinned, " I think I can beat this, Bulma! "
Her eyes widened, " Why are you wet and naked? "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " I'm not NAKED, I have a TOWEL! " he pointed below the screen's visibility, " I just got done
taking a shower. "
" By yourself. " she said in a worried voice, just to make sure.
" Yes, by myself. " Vegeta's cheeks flushed red, " But that's now what I wanted to tell you. I wanted to tell you
that I DEFEATED Kakarrotto in Twister! " he beamed.
" That's great! " Bulma lit up and clasped her hands together.
" We got stuck in quite a few uncomfortable positions and I almost straddled Kakarrotto in one but I made it out with
my brain intact! "
Bulma went pale, " You almost, almost stra-- "
" --I think the majority of my brain just shut down during that 10 minute ordeal but as soon as Kakarrotto finally
regained enough brain-power to make another move he couldn't reach the circle and fell down! And then I took a shower to
clean off, and now I'm fine! "
" W--where's Son-kun? "
" In my bedroom. "
" ... " Bulma let out a low whistle of discomfort, " Vegeta, honey, you know I love you, right? "
" Of course I do!...oh wait, I shooed Kakarrotto out of my bedroom, didn't I. " Vegeta pondered. Goku suddenly
waddled by in the distance whistling a happy little tune.
Bulma sighed with relief, " Good. Vegeta maybe you should get dressed and dried off now. "
" Hai, I was planning on doing that. "
" I can blow-dry Veggie's hair! " Goku chimed in, appearing beside Vegeta with hairdryer in hand.
" NO! " both Bulma and Vegeta exclaimed at once. Goku sweatdropped.
" I'll, dry my own hair Kakarrotto, thanks. " Vegeta nervously took the hairdryer from him. Goku pouted and waddled
off.
" Are you SURE you're not ready to come down yet? " Bulma asked.
" I told you I plan to last til Monday in here and that's just what I'm going to do! " Vegeta nodded stubbornly. Goku
stood off in the background poking their cooled off, yet to-be-iced cake.
Bulma sweatdropped at what Goku was doing, " Well, goodluck. "

" Wow, you mean YOU were able to actually FIT in that little thing? " Videl gasped as she looked back and forth
between the saiyajin spaceship and Raditsu.
" I never said it was comfortable. " Raditsu sweatdropped.
" Why is it behind a glass wall! " Chi-Chi exclaimed as she walked around the object, trying to figure a way to get
it out.
" Well, to keep people from stealing it. " Videl sweatdropped.
" Huh? " Gogeta sat ontop of the glass box holding the spaceship and tapped on it.
" I wonder if this glass would survive a ki-blast. " Vejitto pondered, his face smushed up against one of the walls.
" Yeah! Let's blast it, Jitto! " Gogeta cheered, forming one.
" NO DON'T!! " Videl shouted. Gogeta paused, " That'll make you both criminals and then I'd have to throw you both in
jail for it since everyone in here would see you do it! "
" Oh. " Gogeta pouted.
" Maybe, we could try to teleport inside and then then teleport out again! " Vejitto suggested.
" You don't know how much air is in there. Besides there's no ki inside the box. " Gohan pointed out.
Raditsu pulled a little remote out of his gi pants pocket, " I wonder if this still works. " he mumbled, then pressed
one of the buttons lightly and the ship started to hover in place. Raditsu grinned, " It WORKS! "
" ... " Chi-Chi blinked for a moment at the now-floating spaceship, then clasped her hands together happily,
" Raditsu! You have its remote! "
" Hai. Bulma and Kuririn stole my scouter back then from me but neither of them thought to steal the ship's remote
control. " he held it up.
" Brillant! We'll have the ship break ITSELF out of there! "
Raditsu tapped the glass, then pressed hard on it only to cause the wall a slight indentation, " We could, but that
would probably cause even more damage to it. "
" Oh give it here! " Chi-Chi took the remote, then pressed the 'up' button and sent the ship flying upward...and
crashing into the roof causing a fairly large dent and the ship to fall back down onto its platform, smoking slightly.
Chi-Chi's face flushed with embarassment while Raditsu twitched, " Oh...um, sorry about that. " she handed the remote back to
him, " I suppose we could always ask the manager of the museum if we can have it back. " Chi-Chi offered.
dl
/dl
dl
/dl
" Of course NOT! " the manager pounded his fist on the desk, " Why should I give away one of my museum's most popular
attractions to YOU! "
" Well, what I said that its owner wanted it back? " Chi-Chi asked.
The manager's eyebrow tilted upward slightly, " You've met the space creature who pilots this ship? "
" Ah, " Chi-Chi glanced over at Raditsu, who shifted uneasily, " Yes. "
" Really? " he said, interested, " If what you say is true, and you really do have in your custody a real live space
alien, then I'm willing to do business. "
" GREAT! " Chi-Chi cheered as the others smiled.
" I'll trade you. The ship for its passanger. "
" WAHH! " Chi-Chi fell over, " WHAT?! "
Raditsu paled.
" A space-ship is NOTHING compaired to a space-ALIEN. We'll put the alien on as an attraction and you get to keep the
ship. "
" NO WAY!! " Chi-Chi slammed both hands on his desk as she stood up, " HE IS NOT A MUSEUM-ATTRACTION HE'S A GOOD
PERSON WHO WAS TRAPPED UNDER THE OUJI'S INFLUENCE FOR A VERY LONG TIME! "
" How about if we pay for the ship? " Videl asked.
" Videl-- " Gohan started.
" --no way! I'm not selling. " the manager folded his arms.
Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at him, " FINE. Be that way! " she spun around and stomped out the door, " Come on Gohan!
We're taking this up to the highest level! "
" You mean--? " Gohan gasped.
" Yes, we're going to see the RULER OF THIS PLANET! "
dl
/dl
dl
/dl
" Are you, sure this is going to work? " Raditsu said as they sat in a waiting room in North-West City.
" Of course! A long time ago Piccolo's father, Piccolo Sr., tried to take over the world and when Goku defeated him
and saved Earth, he was awarded a medal and they gave him a parade and everything. And it all happened right here. Our ruler
knows Goku and he's very grateful to him. Once he knows you're Goku-san's brother, I'm sure he'll gladly allow us to take
your ship back to help Goku-san escape from the Ouji's clutches! "
" Mrs. Son? He'll see you now. " the secretary said to them.
Chi-Chi cheerfully got up, " Come Raditsu! And remember to unravel your tail so we can all see it. Goku had his tail
when he defeated Piccolo Sr. "
Raditsu shrugged and did so. His large tail wafted happily in the air as he followed her and the others inside.
dl
/dl
dl
/dl
" And then that EVIL little Ouji took Goku-san out into outer-space to do who-knows-WHAT to him! " Chi-Chi exclaimed
overdramatically as they stood before the fairly tall, blue dog-man. Raditsu was wondering how there could be dogs that
walked on four legs and dogs that walked on two, wore clothes, and spoke english.
" That's terrible! Son Goku is the strongest man on this planet. And he's saved it so many times, from Pilaf, the
Red Ribbon Army, both Piccolos, and those two space aliens. "
" You know I'm so happy you brought that up. You see, we have a way to get out into outer-space to allow Goku-san a
way to escape. It's a spaceship belonging to his older brother here. " she motioned to Raditsu.
" Son Goku's brother? " the dog-man's eyes widened. He smiled and shook Raditsu's hand, " Well I'm pleased to meet
you! Any member of Son Goku's family is more than welcome here! "
Chi-Chi zipped over to him, " His name's Raditsu. "
" Raditsu. " the dog-man smiled, then let go, " For saving us all from such dangerous foes, allowing you to have the
ship that is rightfully yours is the least I can do. "
" Really? " Raditsu grinned.
" Of course. Raditsu I wish you good luck in rescuing your brother. He's a real hero and I'm sure you'll be one too."

" So, how's it goin? " Raditsu asked. The group had retrieved the spaceship and brought it back to Bulma's lab where
she was currently working on it.
" Well, I've fixed the dent and cleaned up the wiring, so all we really have left to do is put together a replacement
window for it. " Bulma explained, then smiled, " You're lucky Toussan and I experimented on Goku's old ship, it helps me know
more about what I'm dealing with and should allow this to go faster. "
" When will it be able to leave? " Chi-Chi asked.
" Since all I have left to work on is the window, I'd say about 4 or 5 more hours before we're ready to launch. AND
we have to decide which of us will be the pilot. "
" ! " everyone else in the room instantly froze.
" ME! " Vejitto raised his hand.
" ME! " Gogeta raised his as well.
" It's my ship! " Raditsu said.
" It's my idea! " Chi-Chi said.
" I've never been in outer-space before! " Goten grinned eagerly.
" I'm the one fixing it! " Bulma said.
Gohan sweatdropped, " Maybe we should figure out a logical way to choose which of us should go. "
" Great idea, Gohan! " Videl patted him on the shoulders. Gohan blushed.
" And just HOW do we do THAT, Gohan? " Chi-Chi asked skeptically.
Gohan pulled out a large board set up similar to a Tenkaichi Budoukai board with a small drawing of each person's
head on the bottom of the paper in a long row, " We each point out why we should be the one to go and the person who's reason
is the most logical gets to go. "
" OR we could draw straws! " Vejitto held out a handful of them.
" Works for me. " Raditsu walked over to him.
" I suppose so, the demi-Ouji in the gi is slightly less Ouji-ish towards me. " Chi-Chi pondered.
" But Kaasan! " Gohan sweatdropped.
Chi-Chi sighed, " Gohan sweetie, we'd all be arguing for hours on end if we did it that way. Besides! This way's
quicker and the short straw is ALWAYS in the middle! " she pinched her fingers together, then dashed back over to Vejitto,
" I CLAIM THE MIDDLE STRAW!! "
Gohan sighed in defeat, " Ugh... "

" I WIN! " Vegeta cheered as he tossed his controller up into the air, " BWAHAHA! I have defeated you 5 times in a
row, Kakarrotto! "
" Hooray for Veggie! " Goku clapped for him as he watched the replay of the race-cars fly around the track again.
" Heh, and I don't even drive that often! " Vegeta beamed, then took another slice of chocolate cake. The duo had
iced it and then went to play videogames, one of the few competitive contests VS Goku that Vegeta could easily wipe the
floor with the larger saiyajin in.
" Ahh! " Vegeta layed back happily, " It's so nice to just have some "buddy-time" with you. " he sighed, " It feels
like its been ages since we've been able to do this, what with Onna practically breathing down my neck with threats and Bura
and her "Kakarroujo" ideas and everyone else suspecting non-platonic plans afoot. Just to get away for awhile. It's...nice. "
" Yeah! " Goku layed back as well and ate another piece of cake while doing so.
" ....hey, you know where we should go, Kakarrotto? "
" Hm? "
The ouji smirked, " Bejito-sei. "
Goku nearly choked on his cake and sat up coughing. He smacked his chest a couple times for the cake to go down, " Oh
VEGGIE! It takes almost a whole weekend to get there and back! "
Vegeta sat up, " And how long is it til Monday, Kakarrotto? " he said with a grin.
" Umm......a weekend? " Goku blinked.
" Exactly! " the ouji lept to his feet, " Come on Kakarrotto! You were there just last year getting my "present"! I
haven't been there since before our home BLEW UP! You said yourself it's just in giant masses of land-chunks now! Let's go
there and bring back some things from home! I may even find some of my old things...oh GOD, Kakarrotto, can you imagine if
the CASTLE was intact, we could bring my house back WITH us! " a huge smile covered the little ouji's face and his eyes
sparkled.
Goku smiled warmly from his spot on the floor, " Visiting Veggie's home would make Veggie happy? "
Vegeta let out a large sigh, " IMMENSELY. "
Goku hopped up, " Well then, let's GO! " he pumped his fist in the air.
Vegeta grinned, " THAT'S my peasant! "
" AND soon-to-be-Oujo! " Goku chirped. Vegeta sweatdropped.
The ouji ran over to the controls and set the coordinates, " Alright Kakarrotto! " he smirked, " Let's go home! "

" What the--? " Bulma shot to attention just as the group was about to draw straws. She dashed back over to the
computer and gasped, " Oh my God....he WOULDN'T....
" WHAT! What is it! " Chi-Chi pushed her out of the way only to have a look of bewilderment appear on her face as she
didn't understand what was going on.
" The ship...it's leaving Earth's gravitational pull. " Bulma said in a faraway voice, " Vegeta said he wouldn't
leave the atmosphere the two days he was up there...and now he's taking off with only Son-kun aboard to who-knows-where? "
" WHAAAAT! " Chi-Chi gawked, then grabbed the microphone, " OUJI!! "
" ... "
" OUJI LISTEN HERE I WILL NOT JUST STAND BY AND LET YOU TAKE GOKU OUT INTO DEEP SPACE WITH YOU THE WAY YOUR
POSSIBLE-FUTURE COUNTERPART DID!! OUJI CAN YOU HEAR ME!! "
" ... "
Bulma grabbed the microphone from her, " Vegeta? Vegeta, sweetie, you know you're moving right? Listen, why don't you
just tell me where you're going and I'm sure we can all work this out, oh-kay? "
" I won't be gone long, I'm only taking Kakay on a short trip. " the ouji clasped his hands together, " Isn't that
right, Kakarrotto? "
Goku lifted up the board and smiled at everyone, " I'm gonna go change back into my pretty oujo outfit for when we
get there! " his tail wagged back and forth.
" Get WHERE! " Chi-Chi demanded.
" To where we're going! " Goku gushed happily.
" Yes, that's correct, Kaka-chan. " Vegeta patted him on the shoulder.
" You know taking him out into space would only be preparing for that which you're causing to be more and more
INEVITABLE, Ouji. " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes.
" HA! One little trip means nothing, Onna. " Vegeta smirked, then glanced over at the cluelessly happy look on Goku's
face. The ouji grinned evilly at Chi-Chi, who watched him warningly. Vegeta leaned up towards larger saiyajin, puckered up,
then froze in place and shot back to attention beside Goku, sweating profusely. Goku took that moment to finally glance to
his right.
" Hey Veggie why'd you suddenly get all sweaty? "
" HA! The Ouji's a chicken! " Chi-Chi laughed, " Afraid you'll accidentally spark a fire, huh? Funny how you have no
problem TAUNTING me with it yet won't follow through. "
Vegeta twitched, frustrated.
" Yup, poor, poor Ouji. Doesn't have the guts to do that sort of thing. Especially with all those kaka-germs on
Goku-san just WAITING for you lips to get close enough for them to enter your body, overthrow your brain, and put you under
their complete, germ-like control! MWAHAHAHA! "
Vegeta twitched again. He puffed his chest out bravely, then turned to Goku who tilted his head at the ouji. Vegeta's
face instantly turned bright red and the air puffing up his chest was released. The little ouji shook the redness off, then
gulped, smooched the palm of his gloved hand and plopped his hand onto the larger saiyajin's right cheek. Goku's eyes widened
into two huge big sparkily blobs as he instantly felt all the air sucked out of him and promptly fainted, causing a loud
thump to be heard when he hit the floor. Vegeta stared on in shock like a dear in headlights, then started backing away from
Goku's unconsious body. He gulped at it, then turned his attention back to Chi-Chi who's face was almost as in shock as
Vegeta's had just been, only her jaw was hanging open. The ouji smirked victoriously at her, then pointed, " HA! "
" ... " Chi-Chi stood there with her jaw agape for a moment, then spun back around and lundged at Vejitto, " GIMMIE
THOSE STRAWS!!! "
" Hahaha, ahh. " Vegeta laughed, then glanced down at the still unconsious, yet eyes-wide-open-and-sparkling-insanely
Goku, " You do understand that wasn't an actual smooch or display of romantic affection but just a ploy to frighten Onna,
right Kakarrotto? "
" ... "
Vegeta blinked, " Kakarrotto? " he leaned closer only to be yanked down ontop of the large saiyajin in a
monster-sized hug.
" MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM~~~ " a little noise of pure joy squeaked out of the larger saiyajin as he hugged
Vegeta even tighter, " MMMMMMMMMMM~~~ "
" Ah, K--Kakarrotto? " Vegeta tapped him.
" YesVeggie? " he squeaked out.
" You, know what I did just know was only a trick, right? "
" ... "
" ... "
" I ~*LUV*~ U, Veggie. "
Vegeta's face instantly turned bright red, " That's nice.... "
" Veggie is very nice... "
" OOH that evil little OUJI! " Chi-Chi angrily took her straw, " I'm going to go out there and teach HIM a lesson! "
" What happened? " Bulma said, then turned to the monitor, " What? "
" THE OUJI SMOOCHED GOKU-SAN!! " Chi-Chi shouted from across the room.
Bulma shrieked, " VEGETA! " she got up, " VEGETA WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!! "
The little ouji slowly but surely squeezed out of Goku's tight hold, " I DIDN'T "SMOOCH" KAKARROTTO! I only smooched
my hand and then touched that hand to Kakarrotto's face to avoid direct confrontation between my lips and his kaka-germs.
" Ugh. " Bulma groaned.
" Well, I, Onna was watching me and taunting me about not being able to! What was I supposed to do about it! "
" How about NOT "smooch" Son-kun to avoid giving him any untrue ideas in the FIRST PLACE! " Bulma exclaimed.
Vegeta looked over at Goku who still had his eyes sparkling and dead-locked on the ouji, " He is staring at me kinda
funny. "
" Of COURSE he is! You just indirectly kissed him! "
" "SMOOCH"! " Vegeta corrected her, his face turning bright red.
" Fine, smooch. You indirectly smooched him! That could cause Son-kun to think you have intentions!! " she panicked.
" I don't have intentions! " Vegeta said in an equally panicked voice.
" I know that! "
" Well so do I! "
" Does SON know it!? "
Vegeta spun around to face Goku only to shriek at the fact that the larger saiyajin was now only a few inches away
from him with his lips puckered up, " WAAAAAAH-HAH! "
" My cheek is tingling, Veggie. " Goku said through his puckered mouth.
The little ouji froze in place; he could practically see an entire nation's-worth of kaka-germ lining up to leap into
his mouth and cause permanent mental damage, " Hi Kakarrotto. " he squeaked out.
" ...what? " Goku stopped puckering, confused but still super-close to the Ouji.
" Hi Kakarrotto. "
Goku tilted his head, then gave Vegeta a quick hug, " And "Hi" to you too, Veggie! "
" Waaaaaaaa~~ " Vegeta said in a daze, bright red.
" Waaaaaaaa~~ " Goku said cheerfully in reply, copying him.
" Son-kun? "
" Hm? " Goku looked over at the screen, " OH! Hi Bulma! "
" Son-kun? You do understand that that, "smooch" of Vegeta's was completely platonic, right? " Bulma said, trying to
make sure.
" Haha! Of course Bulma! Smooches are ALWAYS platonic. It's kisses that aren't. " Goku explained, then frowned,
remembering something, " And I'm generally not allowed to smooch or kiss little Veggies....it is rule #3. "
" Good boy, Go-chan! You remember! " Chi-Chi zipped out past the screen, then zipped off again.
Bulma shifted uneasily, " You've, never wanted to KISS "Veggie", have you Son-kun? "
" NO! " Goku's voice suddenly got much louder.
" Good. Well, we're going to draw straws to decide...something. " Bulma said, " So I'll see you two in about 10 or 15
minutes? "
" OH-KAY. "
" Good. Fine. Alright. " Bulma walked off.
Goku plopped Vegeta on the ground, then waddled off to the other side of the room, " I need my diary. "

7 minutes later, Vegeta regained consiousness.
" Wahhh~~ ? " the ouji sat up and shook his head, " Gah! Kakarrotto. " he grumbled, then walked over to the machine
and noticed they were well on their way towards Bejito-sei. He turned around to see Goku scribbling wildly in the corner of
the room, though not as quickly and in a panic as he had been when he started, " Umm, hey Kaka-chan. "
" EEP! " Goku slammed the book shut.
" You uh, wanna go look out the window? We won't be to Bejito-sei until at least tommorow morning. "
Goku looked at his watch and gasped, " Oh my goodness! 6pm! I should be taking my bath right about now! And then go
to bed! "
" Kakarrotto this is outer-space! You don't need to rely on your simple Earth-watch. And Onna's not here. "
Goku nodded.
" So bathe when you feel like it and sleep when you feel like it! " he folded his arms and smirked, " Now that we're
out of Earth's orbit we play by "Veggie's Rules" now. "
Goku's eyes widened in eager curiousity, " ~*Veggie's*Rules*~?? " he said sweetly.
" Yes. And "Veggie's Rules" will be explained to you later on. But for now, come watch the stars with me, hmm? " he
smiled.
" K. " Goku smiled back, then put his diary in his gi pants pocket and followed Vegeta over to the window. Goku
gasped in awe at how fast they were moving and how many stars there were, " Wow....I never stopped to notice any of it when
I was flying to Namek-sei. It is beautiful, Veggie. "
" Yeah. " Vegeta grinned. Both saiyajins watched as a large ship crossed them from above and moved out into the
distance to their left, " That was a big one. " the ouji murmured, then looked up at Goku to see the a look of worry on the
larger saiyajin's face.
" I sensed an evil ki in that ship, Veggie. "
" Relax, it's probably nothing. It's heading towards the West Galaxy anyway. Earth and Bejito-sei are in the Northern
Galaxy, remember? "
Goku nodded, still worried.
The ouji sighed, " Maybe you should go take that 'bath' of yours after all. "
The larger saiyajin smiled, then dashed off to the bathroom while Vegeta watched the large ship disappear into the
distance.
" Huh. ::There was a pretty big ki in there too:: " he shook his head, " Kakarrotto I hope you're wrong. " Vegeta
sighed.

" Zzzz..Zzzzzz...Zzzzz... "
Vegeta slowly opened his eyes to hear a soft, sleepy, purring nose beside him. The ouji glanced at the clock to the
right of the bed to see it was 8:30am, Earth-time. He cocked an eyebrow, " When did I fall asleep. I'm never up this early. "
he murmured to himself, then reached to pull his warm blanket off him only to discover it wasn't a warm blanket, but a warm
peasant.
Vegeta's eyes nearly shot out of his head but instead bulged there while he stared gawkingly at Goku who lay overtop
of his back like a bearskin rug, ::HOW DID KAKARROTTO GET HERE!!...and wait didn't I just go tell him to take a bath?...
WAHH! There's been a sudden lapse of time which I have no recollection of whatsoever!! HOW CAN THAT BE!!!:: he mentally
panicked, then pulled out the Peasant-Repel and sprayed himself with it, " Kakarrotto get off! " Vegeta shouted.
" Hmm? " Goku's eyes opened slightly and he smiled, " Mornin' Veggie. " the large saiyajin said softly.
" Kakarrotto what are you doing on my bed? "
" Hmm? " Goku said again, then realized where he was and hopped off. Vegeta sweatdropped to see a kaka-indent on the
sheets that covered him, " Oop! Sorry Veggie. We had a fun time last night, didn't we! " he beamed.
" ... " a blank expression appeared on Vegeta's face, " What? "
Goku blinked, " Oh, doesn't Veggie remember? I was takin my bath when all of a sudden the gravity got shut off and
Veggie tried to fix it while I took the rest of my bath floating around in the bathroom? And then Veggie couldn't get the
gravity to work again so we ended up swimming around getting ready for bed and Veggie wore heavy clothes so he wouldn't float
away and I slept high above Veggie in the air and it was FUN! "
" ...I suppose, the gravity being off for so long COULD cause us to start hallucinating. Saiyajins are usually used
to heavier gravity. " Vegeta sprayed his bed as he got out of it, then sprayed himself as parts of the previous night were
starting to come back to him. The ouji looked down at his feet and hands and sweatdropped to see he had weights tied around
them and his waist. Vegeta took them off and walked out into main room while gathering his navy blue training outfit. When
he was sure Goku was still in the other room he changed into his training gear and looked over at the machine only to pale
when he saw the gravity still read -100, the number Vegeta vaguely remembered seeing sometime during his memory lapse, " The
only LOGICAL explination, seeing that according to Kakarrotto what I experianced wasn't anything tramatic, the gravity's
sudden change from below normal gravity to above must have fuzzied my short-term memory, especially seeing as my body size
and body weight are only about 3/4th of Kakarrotto's. " Vegeta concluded. He stretched and walked over to the window to see
where they were. Vegeta's jaw dropped.
They had landed. They had landed on a chunk of land that was among almost a thousand chunks of land. The scenery,
though hovering in random spots all around them, was without a doubt, Bejito-sei.
" *YAWN*!! " Goku stretched as he walked into the room, out of his kinto'un-patterned pj's and back into his orange
and blue gi, " Hey Veggie whatcha lookin at? "
" ...ka nowa ta. " the little ouji mumbled in shock.
" ... " Goku stared, blinking, " What? "
" Home. " he said as if in a trance. Vegeta's arm reached out slowly and grabbed Goku's tightly.
Goku smiled, " Aww, Veggie~~ "
" ? " Vegeta looked down and yelped, then yanked his hand away while Goku only giggled at him. Vegeta began to look
around anxiously, " Air. " he turned to Goku, " Kakarrotto is there air out there or would we need spacesuits? "
Goku laughed, " Oh Veggie there's PLENTY of air! " he said, then sweatdropped to see Vegeta had already rushed out of
the ship and left the door swinging back and forth, a repercussion of the tremendous burst of speed he took to get out of
there. Goku waddled out after Vegeta just in time to hear the ouji start to laugh, " Hey Veggie wait for me. " Goku walked
over to him.
" Haha..hahaha...AHHHH-HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! " Vegeta laughed louder than Goku had ever heard, surprising
the larger saiyajin. Before them the near-thousand chunks of land hovered in place, though still rotating at the speed they
would be if the planet was still in one piece.
" Like a bunch of islands without water, huh Veggie? " Goku smiled.
" KA NOWA TA!! PO LE SONA TATO LA PESUNA!! SAMA SE KALI BO PAH!! " the little ouji hooted in his native tongue as he
bounced around from 'island' to 'island'. He froze when he screeched to halt by a nearby tree with a strange red fruit
growing out of it. Vegeta drooled, grabbed the fruit off the tree, took a bite out of it and started running again, his
speech only muffled this time by the pieces of fruit in his mouth, " HAHA!! WOOOOOOOOOO!! " Vegeta spun around on one foot
with his arms outward and happily collapsed on his back; the other half of the fruit on his stomach, " Ahhhhh... " he sighed
contently.
" I guess since I do not remember living here I cannot appreciate this as much as little Veggie can. " Goku concluded
, then clasped his hands together, " But just look how HAPPY Veggie is! I have NEVER seen my little Veggie this HAPPY
before! " tears of joy rushed down his cheeks and he teleported up to where Vegeta was laying and bent down beside him, " Hey
Veggie~~ "
The little ouji smiled warmly up at him and Goku's cheeks went pink, " Home. "
" Yeah, "home". Veggie is home. " Goku's face flushed slightly more.
Vegeta took a deep breath and sighed happily, " I never thought I'd be able to ever get home again. And here it is. "
he sat up, genuinely smiling, " Sure it's in a thousand pieces, but who CARES! It's HERE, and it's still LIVABLE! We, we
could probably use the next wish on the dragonballs to put it all back together! " he looked around him, " Oh God, Kakarrotto
, screw Monday! We're not going home until NEXT Monday! Or the Monday after that! Or the Monday after THAT Monday! " Vegeta
stood up, then handed the other half of the fruit to Goku, " Here try this! They're called ceitas, they're GREAT! "
Goku beamed at the ouji's cheery mood and ate the snack, " Mmm, sweet! " he licked his fingers only to have Vegeta
grab his hand before he could finish.
" Come on! Let's go find which one my castle is on! HURRY! " he blasted off with Goku flailing behind him.

" Ohh...it is split right in half. " Goku pouted as they stood on a small island that stood before two of the largest
islands of the planet.
Vegeta clasped his hands together, letting go of Goku's, " That's oh-kay! It's still HERE. And that means..COME ON! "
he flew off again, nearly tipping the small island off balance and Goku with it. Goku regained his balance and flew off after
him.
" VEH-GEE!! "
Vegeta was zipping back and forth between the two halves of the castle. He screeched to a halt on one of the halves
and ran down the hall until he reached a door with his name and title written on it in saiyago. Vegeta flung open the door
to reveal, " My ROOM! "
Goku teleported to where Vegeta was and peeked inside. It looked exactly like it had the last time he had seen it;
back when he had temporarily dubbed the Ouji, King. Enormous insides, a HUGE bed, giant windows covered in expensive-looking
ruby-colored drapes, a wall-long closet with a full-length mirror and tabletop, a crystal fountain in the middle of the room,
big thin curtains surrounding the bed, and a soft plush carpet several inches high, " It is BEAUTIFUL, little Veggie. "
" WHEE! " the ouji lept past Goku and onto the bed, instantly sinking into it and letting out several loud purrs.
Goku walked up to him with an eager little smile on his face, " Little Veggie? "
" Hm? " Vegeta partially sat up, smiling happily and nearly melting the larger saiyajin's heart into a gooey red
puddle.
" Umm, Veggie I know, I know last time I was in Veggie's room he didn't want me on his bed even though it was the
best bed I'd ever seen and, well it has almost been two years and... "
" Care to join me, Kakay? " the ouji smirked.
" ....AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!! " Goku squealed and lundged at the bed, knocking Vegeta backwards as he himself sunk into the
bed, " Veggie's BEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed. Heehee! "
" You know, under normal circumstances I would shoo you off, but I'm in a rare mood of pure, unadulterated BLISS
right now Kakarrotto, and not even you on my real bed could dampen my spirits. Besides this time I have my Peasant-Repel! "
he whipped out the bottle, then put it away.
" Mmmmmm~~ oh little Veggie let's take a nap HERE. " Goku rolled around on the sheets, then under them and tucked
himself in.
" Agreed, my sweet peasant. " Vegeta hopped in as well. He pulled the sheets up, " You know, that's probably why the
gravity in the ship went seemingly back to normal, the gravity on Bejito-sei neutralized the anti-gravity in the ship
once we entered the atmosphere. "
" Hmm. " Goku nodded sweetly, then hugged the little ouji and snuggled tightly, " Aww Veggie~~ "
Vegeta's face turned bright red and he slipped out from the larger saiyajin's grasp, " HEY! I said you could share
the bed I never said anything about SNUGGLING in bed!! COUPLES snuggle in bed!! " he exclaimed, glowing bright red.
Goku nodded and inched back a bit, " Yes Veggie. "
" ... "
" ... "
" It's so quiet....it was never this quiet around here back then. The only time I remember it, being like this is at
night. " Vegeta said outloud, mostly to himself, " You could hear a pin drop at night. Most saiyajins avoid the effects of
the moon by going to sleep early like you. You'd never be lonely in the morning around here, Kakarrotto. " he smirked.
Goku smiled.
" Yup. One day we'll be able to wish our home back together, wish all the other saiyajins back....I'll get to have my
parents back, for GOOD this time. "
" Me too? " Goku asked.
" Yeah, you too. God knows when THAT'LL be though, who knows how much I'll have changed by then, and...you. " he
looked over to see Goku already fast asleep.
Vegeta sighed, " Well, I guess we weren't in bed that early last night after all. " he said, then closed his eyes and
went to sleep as well.

" *squish-squish* *squish-squish* *squish-squish*. "
" Uh? "
" I Eh-ee! "
Vegeta sat up to see Goku standing by the bed in his oujo uniform with a pacifier in his mouth, " WAHHH! " Vegeta
fell over.
" Happy woken-up time, little Veggie! You slept for a full 2 hours! " Goku smiled through the pacifier.
" What is THAT?! " Vegeta pointed at the object.
Goku took it out of his mouth, " Oh do not worry, this is mine. I even washed it off too! " he held out the pacifier,
sure enough, "Kakarrotto" was printed in english across the upper-top of the front of the blue pacifier.
" Well you are pretty much the only "Kakarrotto" I've ever met, it MUST be yours....but the last time that thing was
used was when you were TWO YEARS OLD!!! " Vegeta gawked.
" I know, that's why I washed it. " Goku said.
Vegeta blinked, " The castle still has running water? "
" Apparently. " Goku shrugged, then eagerly grabbed Vegeta by the arm, " Hey Veggie wanna see where I found it? "
" Umm, sure. Hold on a second. " he got up and put on his royal saiyajin no ouji armor complete with red cape. Vegeta
grinned, " Ready! "
" Great! "

" Now this is just plain weird. " Vegeta said. The two saiyajin stood in the nursery where all the baby saiyajin were
kept for their checkups and sometimes babysat. What basically creeped Vegeta out so bad was that there was no one there, not
that anyone would survive that long without food, but since the castle had survived the blast, he thought it was only natural
for the people left inside, in addition to the items and material objects, would have been left. Instead there was nothing
more than an entire room filled with dirty-diapers in the baby-carriages instead, and those had become hard as a rock by now,
" The blast incinerated all the saiyajins inside, yet the babies' diapers and pacifiers remained unharmed? What kind of blast
did Freeza attack us with? " Vegeta said in disbelief. He shuddered.
Other than Goku's pacifier, his carriage was empty. The carriage to the left of Goku's was completely empty, and
there were signs of a struggle. Vegeta scratched his head at this.
" Aww Veggie lookit this! " Goku held up a baby-bonnet from one of the carriages, " I did not know saiyajin babies
had lil bonnets too, how CUTE! " he set the pink bonnet down.
Vegeta sighed, " You really don't completely grasp it, do you? "
" Huh? "
" Kakarrotto, everyone that was in this room SHOULD be as old as you by now. "
" ... " Goku frowned, " Ohhh...I made Veggie sad. I am SO sorry Veggie I didn't MEAN to-- " he apologized.
" --it's alright. " Vegeta nodded, " I said we'll eventually bring them back. Let's head to the throne room. If
you're good on the way up, I MIGHT let you sit in the Oujo's chair. " he smirked.
" Realllly? " Goku's eyes widened to two big sparkily blobs, " Oh Veggie I promise to be good! "

" Mmmmmmmmm~~~ Oh Veggie this is so ~*WONDERFUL*~, it's just like a ~*dream*~!! " Goku sighed happily as he sat on
the saiyajin no oujo's throne.
" Yeah, well don't expect that "dream" to come true anytime soon if you know what I mean. " Vegeta's face flushed red
while he sat on the saiyajin no ouji's throne. He watched as the larger saiyajin looked over at him with blushing pink cheeks
and and admiring smile on his face. Vegeta fidgeted, feeling his own face turning bright red.
" Sitting here with Veggie makes me feel like a real live ~*Veggie's Oujo*~.... " Goku mused, " Thank you. "
Vegeta's face turned an even brighter shade of red, " You're, welcome Kakarrotto. "
" ...we should take them back with us Veggie. "
" Huh? " Vegeta looked over at him.
Goku smiled, " The thrones, we should take the ouji and oujo thrones back home with us when we fly back to Earth! "
" Kakarrotto it's not that simple. All four thrones, Ou, Ouho, Ouji, and Oujo, are all bolted to the ground! I'd
rather not disturb them. " he said, then smirked, " However, we WILL be taking some things home with us. "
" HOORAY! " Goku cheered, then froze, " Veggie! "
" What? "
" There's a ki heading towards the planet! "
Vegeta checked and sensed it as well. He headed for the closest exist, " Come Kakarrotto! "
" Yes "your highness"! " Goku grinned and mock-saulted him. Vegeta grinned at the title, then dropped the grin and
opened the door to reveal a saiyajin spaceship had landed, ironically, on one of the landing docks built specifically for
that purpose. Vegeta and Goku struck defensive poses as the hatch opened and a figure sat up.
" NIICHAN!! " Goku squealed with joy, clasping his hands together.
" WAHHH! " Vegeta fell over, " RADITSU?! "
" Hi Vegeta! Hi Kakarrotto! " Raditsu got out, " Guess who won the straw contest! " he held out a tiny straw, then
froze when he realized where he was, " Wait a second....am....are we.... "
" Yes Raditsu, we ARE home. " Vegeta boasted, " Which, is completely deserted of saiyajin life and broken into a
thousand pieces.....the plants, fruits, vegetables, and grains are still all growing, surprisingly. "
Raditsu looked up and paled, " The castle's split in two? "
Vegeta nodded, " Sadly, yes. "
" OH! Vegeta I have to tell you before I forget. Yesterday I had another vision! "
The ouji's eyes widened.
" I vision that happens 60 years from now. You and me and Kakarrotto and Vejitto and Gogeta...we were all looking for
the dragonballs to wish our planet back together and wish everyone back! "
Vegeta paused, " 60 YEARS? " he said, then frowned, " I would have thought we'd wish the planet and everyone back a
little earlier than 60 YEARS from now. "
" Well, we don't have to wait that long, I mean, we could wish it all back soon, maybe...springtime? " Raditsu
grinned.
Vegeta sweatdropped, " I won't be ready to deal with it that early!! " Raditsu frowned, " But 60 years is too long to
wait...perhaps sometime inbetween. " he nodded, then cocked an eyebrow, " What else happens 60 years from now? "
" Well....Chi-Chi's dead. " Raditsu said. Vegeta grinned evilly while Goku sniffled, " Kakarrotto doesn't live at his
house anymore, I think he lives with you. Uh...we had to get a dragonball in Kakarrotto's "old" house and it was all dusty
and hadn't been lived in for 10 years, there was a tombstone on the lawn for Chi-Chi saying she died sometime in 823. "
" Oh! Chi-chan told me about that when she got back from traveling to the future! " Goku pointed out.
Vegeta paused, " Then we must still be on track with that possible-future. "
" Not really, at least I don't think so. " Raditsu said as the ouji glanced over at him, " Kakarrotto wasn't wearing
an oujo uniform or anything, and you didn't call him your oujo. You hugged him, but I think that was only because he was
temporarily depressed after being reminded of his old home. "
Vegeta sighed with relief, " Well that makes me feel better. "
" The dragonball was in Kakarrotto's old bedroom, and when we took the dragonball Chi-Chi's ghost tried to attack us!
Or, at least that's what Vejitto and Gogeta said it was. "
" Heh, Onna's ghost. " the ouji chuckled.
" And, " Raditsu glanced over at Kakarrotto, then whispered to Vegeta, " There were doodles all over the walls of his
room. "
" So? Kakarrotto knows how to draw. "
" Vegeta....I think he's going to get obsessed with you 50 or 60 years from now, the doodles--they start off as sad
little plushie-like Kakarrottos and then all of a sudden there's a plushie-like doodle of you and they become more and more
wildly drawn until there's this GIANT MASSIVE plushie-like drawing of you on the ceiling to his room! And one of the walls
has "I Heart You, Veggie!" written on it!! It was like a horror-story! "
Vegeta's eyes widened, " Kakarrotto will create wildly-drawn pictures of me in "plushie-form" all over the walls of
his room?! WHY!? "
" I don't know! I got back before I could find out! Besides it was creepy. " Raditsu glanced over at Goku, who was
waving happily to them, " I mean, he didn't ACT obsessed with you earlier in the vision, he was a little clingy but that was
it. "
" Perhaps losing Onna causes Kakarrotto to have a small moment of insanity. " Vegeta rubbed his chin, then smirked,
" A moment of insanity the likes of which only I could save him from. " he boasted.
" Uh-huh. " Raditsu said flatly.
" Wait, "I HEART You, Veggie"? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow.
" There was heart drawn in-place of a word. " Raditsu sweatdropped.
" Raditsu, this is important. Was it a platonic-looking heart or was it a, non-platonic-looking heart? " Vegeta said
intently.
" Hearts all look the same to me, Vegeta. " Raditsu sweatdropped further.
" No, I mean was it just a regular heart or did it have all sorts of girly-mushy-romantic-add-on-features all over it
, you know, like, like ribbons and lace and other non-platonic things. "
" It was just a regular heart! " Raditsu exclaimed.
" Good. " Vegeta nodded.
" OH! And I managed to accidentally pull something from the future back with me! Look! " he whipped out the photo
album.
Vegeta's eyes lit up, " A photo album! From Kakarrotto's house! 60 years in the future! "
" Ooh, I have seen THIS! " Goku pointed to it, " Chi-chan saw it in the mall when we went shopping for stuff the
other day, she's thinkin of buying one since we haven't kept a photo album since Gohan was little. "
" Onna made a couple for Goten as well, but I think she put that away after you returned and our temporary truce and
cease-fire was annuled. " Vegeta said.
" Your what? " Goku cocked an eyebrow.
" A few years after you died supposedly for good and it had finally set in on Onna and I that you weren't coming back
, we decided to call a temporary truce and neutrally get along. Besides we could still mildly compete with one another by
seeing who's training abilities were superior by me training Trunks and Onna training Goten. Trunks usually won the sparring
matches against Goten, even though Onna was able to train Goten into reaching ssj levels while Trunks learned somehow without
my knowledge. " Vegeta explained, then chuckled, " I think she didn't want you to know that we can neutrally agree on things,
though, not without frustration, or else you'd try and convince her to make another cease-fire. "
" Veggie and Chi-chan can only get along when forced? " Goku sweatdropped.
" Yeah, pretty much. "
" That's sad. " Raditsu sweatdropped as well, " So? Don't you wanna look at the photo-album-from-the-future? "
" YES. " Vegeta instantly swiped the album before Raditsu could even blink, " All the more help in aiding me in
avoiding a future where... " he glanced over at Goku who smiled sweetly at him, " ...things, happen. "
Raditsu looked at his watch, " You can look at it on the ship, even I haven't seen much of what's in there yet. "
" Whadda you MEAN on the ship! I'M not ready to LEAVE! " Vegeta gawked.
" But, that's what I was sent up here by the others to do, bring you two back home. " Raditsu blinked, then got
concerned, " You both, ARE coming back home, right? "
" If you mean Earth then of course we are. " Vegeta snorted, " But now until I loot the castle for personal items,
food, and drink. "
Raditsu sweatdropped, " You're going to LOOT your OWN HOUSE?!....isn't that redundant since you own it already? "
" Normally, yes. But I want something to remember the trip by, you know, a momento until the next time we come here."
" YEAH! Veggie we can vacation here next time it is va-cation season! " Goku grinned.
" Exactly! " Vegeta said, " Raditsu? You coming to help us? "
" ...I know where the hall that holds the castle's emergancy-food-supply is. " Raditsu said.
" PERFECT! Lead us there! "

" WOW.....now THAT, is a lot of food. " Vegeta said in awe as he, Goku, and Raditsu stood before a now-open chamber
on the third floor containing enough food to last the kingdom about a month if there was a sudden famine or loss of food.
" There's two more of these and then another food supply storage room back down that way for regular food storage. "
Raditsu pointed in the other direction, " I don't think that one would be worth looking at though, only the food in these
were made to last overtime. "
Vegeta narrowed his eyes at the largest saiyajin suspiciously, " How do you know about this and I don't? "
" Well, I'm older than you so I remember more...and I worked part-time guarding this floor for about a year between
Kaasan halfway pregnant with Kakarrotto and the 6 months after that. "
" You're not a guard. "
Raditsu sweatdropped, " I know THAT! I was only a temporary replacement until they had an older saiyajin step in to
work it instead. A few years before Freeza blew up the planet he decided for some reason or another that having guards inside
the castle was a threat if he was ever going to invade it and kidnap you--even though that plan never went though--so he
decided to send all the guards on a mandatory mission to destroy a planet. What was werid about it was that, as you know, the
guards that work inside aren't trained to do the same work as those Freeza sends on missions. " he said, then sighed, " As
soon as they got to the planet Freeza's men jumped them and killed them all. Since the woman I temporarily replaced on this
floor was killed that day, me and everyone else who had been replacing them had to stay on the job until WE all got
replacements. " Raditsu put some food into a large bag, " It was the same type of plan he used on Toussan and Kaasan's group
when he thought THEY were all getting too strong, only Toussan managed to come back alive from Freeza's plan that time. "
Goku gasped, " Freeza killed my MOMMY? " his eyes watered.
" No, Dodoria killed Kaasan. Freeza killed Toussan. " Raditsu sighed.
" OOOH, I will HURT FREEZA the next time I happen to be in otherworld. " Goku narrowed his eyes and stomped a foot on
the floor.
" Kakarrotto! Catch! " Vegeta called out to him.
Goku looked up just intime to catch a can of food the ouji had thrown off near the top of the pile of food.
Vegeta put more food in his own bag, " I think we have enough capsules to hold about one of these chambers' food. "
" Vegeta we'd never eat it all! This is supposed to be enough food for over a million saiyajins! It'll go bad before
we're able to finish. " Raditsu pointed out, holding up another food item which indeed had an experation date on it.
" Kuso. " Vegeta pouted, " Fine, we'll take another armful, I'll grab some of my possessions, and we'll get out of
here. " he slid down the pile.

" ...there. " Vegeta finished putting away items from both his childhood room and his adult room. He sighed sadly as
he stared at his bed, " Oh my poor sweet perfect bed. If only Capsule Corp had a room big enough to fit you in. " he gave the
bed a hug, causing Raditsu to sweatdrop, " Raditsu get the spare sheets they're in the closet. "
Raditsu shook his head and went to do so.
Vegeta looked down at his boots, or rather, one of his father's spare boots, " It's a good thing these stretch to fit
your feet. Toussan's feet are almost as big as YOURS, Raditsu! "
Raditsu put the sheets away and glanced at the capsule that contained some of his own belongings from his family's
home within the castle which looked exactly like the last time he'd seen it, " I'm glad I came. It'll be easier to stay on
Earth for the time being as long as I have some of my own stuff. "
" LOOKIT ME!! " Goku squealed from the doorway.
Vegeta looked over and let out a strangled yelp while Raditsu turned a pale green.
" KAKARROTTO WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT THAT'S NOT FOR YOU!! " Vegeta pointed to the almost ball-gown-ish dress the
larger saiyajin was holding in his arms.
" I saw it when Veggie was taking his special o-ccation Ouji outfit out of the glass case the pretty dress was next
to. "
" YOU BAKA THAT'S A BRIDAL DRESS FOR THE SAIYAJIN NO OUJO! " Vegeta screamed, his face bright red.
Goku's eyes turned into two huge sparkily blobs.
" ...WHICH IS NOT YOU!! "
" Oh. " Goku pouted, " But, why did Veggie take his...groom...outfit then? " he guessed at the title.
" Because I already have the title of saiyajin no ouji, and I plan to wear it on my anniversary to add to making it
up to Bulma for nearly terrifying her due to her recent notice of how big the kaka-war actually is. "
" Kaka-war? " Raditsu said.
" Long story, I'll tell you on the way back to Earth. " Vegeta said shortly.
" Can...I keep the pretty dress then? "
" NO! You're not the saiyajin no oujo and you're not getting married! " Vegeta said.
" Oh... " Goku slumped in place, then waited until Vegeta and Raditsu left the room and capsulzied the dress. The
large saiyajin giggled and hid the capsule in his pocket as he ran out after them.

" Well, so long home. I will miss you as I'm sure you miss all who once lived upon your surface. " Vegeta said as
he stood with his back to the spaceship and stared out at the many floating islands, " But mark my words, someday your pieces
shall be put back together and you will have inhabitants who love you once again. "
" Vegeta are you coming or not? " Raditsu poked his head out of the ship, sweatdropping.
" Yeah, I think I'm done. " Vegeta turned around and walked inside. They had capsulized Raditsu's ship so he could
travel in the bigger spaceship with Goku and Vegeta. He waited until the other two saiyajin strapped themselves in, Vegeta
having successfully fixed the gravity in the ship this time, " Ready to liftoff? "
" Yup! " Goku chirped. Raditsu nodded.
" Good. " Vegeta said, then lifted the board covering the screen, " Bul---? " he sweatdropped to see tv snow, " Yet
another reason I need a better ship before we come to put the planet's chunks back together, the satelite doesn't work this
far out in space. " he put the board down, then set the cooridents, " Let's go! "

Monday Morning...
" Ahh, Earth, we've finally returned. " Vegeta said as the ship hovered above the surface, " And look, there's
Kakarrotto's little kaka-hut now. " he landed the ship on the larger saiyajin's front lawn.
" I hope they didn't worry about us TOO much. " Raditsu sweatdropped as Vegeta opened the door.
" Come, Kaka-chan. I'll escort you to the door. " Vegeta suavely took the larger saiyajin's arm and Goku giggled.
The ouji noticed the sudden look of fright and disgust on Raditsu's face, then turned bright red at what he was doing and
yanked his arm away, " Ah, PLATONICALLY. I'll PLATONICALLY escort you, to the door. Hahaha. " Vegeta laughed nervously as he
and Goku left the ship, " N--not that the previous pose wasn't platonic as well, ah, just that this one is even more so. "
Vegeta stammered as they walked up to the door, the ouji not even touching the larger saiyajin. They reached Goku's front
door and Goku turned around to face the little ouji and smiled.
" Thank you little Veggie, I had a WONDERFUL Veggietine's Day. " Goku said warmly.
" S--so did I. " Vegeta said, his cheeks turning red.
" I hope that, next year's Veggietine's Day is as wonderful as this year's. "
Vegeta nervously pulled out his peasant-repel and sprayed it all over Goku's right hand, causing kaka-germs to slip
off, fall and land on Goku's foot, " I...b..bet it'll be even better. "
Goku laughed, " Oh Veggie I don't think that's even POSSIBLE, I-- "
" *peck*. " the little ouji landed a small platonic peck on the Goku's right hand.
" ... " Goku froze in place, his eyes widening to 10 times their size.
Vegeta looked up at him, " WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!! " the ouji screamed and ran off into the ship, " HURRY HURRY
HURRY! LET'S GO LET'S GO LET'S GO!! " he slammed the door to the ship shut as it lifted off and headed for Capsule Corp.
" Vegeta what did you do out there? " Raditsu asked, confused.
" You don't wanna know. It was a stupid idea anyway! " Vegeta was shaking.
" Do, you still wanna look at the photo album? You didn't look at it once since I showed it to you? "
Vegeta gulped as they flew off and he could still see Goku standing there in shock infront of his house, " Maybe..
...maybe later Raditsu. MUCH later. "

Epilogue...
" Um, bye. " Raditsu sweatdropped as he watched the ship containing its remaining saiyajin passanger blast off to
Capsule Corp. The large saiyajin turned to his house and walked up to the mailbox, " Some Valentine's Day. " he sighed, then
opened the mailbox to peek in only to have the box's contents explode all over Raditsu, covering him in Valentine's Day cards
and gifts especially for him in a pile that nearly reached 7 feet high.
Raditsu poked his head out of the pile, a smile slowly working its way around his face as he noticed all the cards
and gifts. The large saiyajin pumped his arms in the air, " WOOHOO!!! "

2:27 PM 2/18/2004
THE END!
Chuquita: TA-DA! (to audiance) Sorry it's a few days later than usual, the chapter just ended up being bigger than I thought
it would be.
Vegeta: (twitching) I can't believe you ended my part that way.
Chuquita: (to Veggie) Notice the word-choice, Veggie. "small platonic peck". AND you used the Peasant-Repel before it.
Vegeta: Point....but I hope that situation doesn't come up again.
Chuquita: Don't worry, it won't! (sweatdrops) We all gotta look out for you Veggie. (pats him on the shoulder)
Vegeta: (flatly) Uh-huh.
Goku: (smiles) Well I think it was a won-der-ful holiday, Chu-sama!
Chuquita: (smiles as well) Yup! AND Raditsu got his presents after all! Who knows what's in-store for next year's
"Veggietine's Day!"
Vegeta: (pales) One can only imagine.
Chuquita: Yes, "one can"...because I have no clue and it's a year away anyways. (to audiance) As to how everyone else reacts
to what Veggie, Raditsu, and Son-kun tell the others, that'll be in the next fic, not to mention giving Chi-Chi a reason to
temporarily move Son-kun and family to her father's home to keep them safe from Veggie.
Vegeta: I'm not dangerous!!....no, wait, I am. BUT NOT TO KAKARROTTO!
Chuquita: I'll give the story's summary and possible title at the end of this. (smiles) But now for the reviewer-replies!
To: Maria S.: Thank you for reminding me so early. I know I would have forgotten it w/how much was going on in this fic so I
figured a way for Raditsu to tell them without it being at the very end. That's why I had him get the shortest straw :)
To Rissa of the Saiya-Jin: *sniffles* All the poor long title-chapters being cut short is sad indeed. That's why I plan to
put the titles right after the summaries from now on! That way I can still have the long titles and just put shorter versions
in the boxes. LOL! I saw about 3/4th's of PoTC the other day! *is happy she recognizes the quote*. I liked the movie :D
I missed the ending though :( Maybe I should rent it.. Nope, I've never seen that show. ^_^;; The review made me wanna add in
some buddy-stuff, so I did :) Hai, the rules are starting to get to Goku, slightly. I actually read that Toei is thinking of
making another dragonball series, since the show's popularity has recently comeback in Japan and dbz is nearing it's 20th
anniversary. No idea what it'll be about. Oh God...if the series Veggie and Goku in their normal dbz forms (Veggie w/all his
hair still attached and Goku still an adult) and with the kind of animation they showed they can do it in now like the intro
to Budoukai 2, that'd be great! I heard Funi wants Toei to make a new dbz series as well. Wouldn't it be great if we could
send in suggestions and stuff and some stuff would actually get used in the show? :)
Vegeta: (writing down his suggestions) Make me reach...ssj3, ....do not allow Kakarrotto to bite me, do not allow any
non-platonic-looking situations to occur between Kakarrotto and I..
Chuquita: (to Veggie) How's it comin?
Vegeta: (staring intently at page) I'm going to need more paper.
To TheDarkGuard: Oooh, neat gifts!
Vegeta: (puts his suggestion paper in the suggestions box, then holds up staff) Heh-heh-heh, I'm going to "smite" someone.
(to Chu) Which way to Kakarrotto's house from here?
Chuquita: (flatly) You're going to try and smite Chi-Chi, aren't you?
Vegeta: ... (looks left, then right) (mock-cluelessly) Por que?
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Don't use spanish to try and confuse me!!
Vegeta: (senses Chi's ki) Ah, there we go. I'll be back in a minute! (teleports out of sight)
Goku: (is happily swinging his sword around while balancing on the stick) THANK U!!
Chuquita: (impressed) Such agility!
Goku: Heehee~~
To SacredGoggles: We all thank you for the gifts!
Vegeta: (staff smoking) (suddenly at the desk again) I'm back from smiting.
Chuquita: (stares at smocking staff, bug-eyed) ...I'm not sure I wanna know.
Vegeta: (to SacredGoggles) Thanks for the never-ending can! (takes a sip of the Pepsi) Ahh, that tastes good after a nice
round of smiting.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Great now he's got a new word...
Goku: (hugging Veggie-plushie tightly) Thank uuuuuuuuuu~~~ (gives Veggie-plushie a squeeze; it squeaks) AHH! SO CUTE! I luv
you Veggie-plushie!!!
Goten: I like MY plushie too! (hugs his plushie)
Vegeta: (confused) How did he suddenly get here?
Goku: (grins) The wonders of time and space, little Veggie!
Chuquita: (grins) And thank you for the B.B.O.A.S.2!! (to Goku) I really should start using stuff in these again. (flips
through pages)
To Setsumi-san: (grins) Isn't Veggie FUN when he's drunk? Hai, there is a strong likelihood that they'll all be able to
prevent that particular future. When Goku and Chi-Chi don't have Veggie on the brain they get along with each other very well
. And Bulma & Veggie are just fun *grins*. Bulma is just starting to notice what's going on, but Veggie's gonna try and make
her feel better about it. I like that term "Goku Wars" :D Double-spacing is easier to read.
To Ouji-Chan: It's oh-kay, I didn't see the spaceship part coming either....or the puppets...or twister...or the idea of them
even going to Bejito-sei. The original ending just had some meteors or something coming close to the ship while the moon is
affecting Goku and Veggie and Bulma uses her satelite to save the ship from being thrown into space by a meteor. Yet somehow
this ending came up. Oh well, I like it. I don't think so ^_^;; (nervous laugh). Besides that thing won't be finished for
quite a while. At LEAST 4 or 5 months. ^_^;; Thank u for the gifts! Heehee, chocolate milk :) Happy Valentine's Day!
Raditsu: (looking inside bag with genuine kaka-confusement) What is all this?
Vegeta: (gawking in shock) And how did YOU suddenly get here?!
Raditsu: (looks up from bag) What?
Vegeta: ...and where'd Goten go?
Goku: (shrugs cluelessly) I dunno.
To Callimogua: Haha! So happy you liked it!
To dglsprincess105: Aw, Bulma's not used to seeing this stuff, but she should have thought ahead before saying that with Goku
right there. LOL! That'd be funny, yet bad for Veggie. I actually do have an theory on that :)
To Afrodite: So happy you like Raditsu! Heh-heh, I dunno if I could do a PG-13 like that. It all turning out to be a dream
would be a good idea to end it though. But who's dream would it be? Goku's or Veggie's? Only my movie-parodies are PG-13 if
only because the movies are PG-13 to begin with. The movie-8 parody coming up will be PG-13. Glad you liked the kakanapping!
To Sinah: Happy you liked the argument. It's true there hasn't been much angst-ish stuff lately. I think there was like
little dabs of it in this chapter as well but that's about it. Heh, well in the early part of the next story's first chapter
we'll find out what happens to Bulma and Veggie now that he's back home since the next fic occurs only hours after this one
ends. That's why I didn't have them turn into Oozarus :D Heehee, drunken Veggies are fun :) Hai, some of the characters could
use some form of therapy.
Goku: (bounces happily on the cushion of the loveseat) Hahaha! This is fun AND comfy!
Vegeta: (smirks at the watch) Thank you. (pauses as watch starts beeping) Oh crap, Onna must've regained consiousness.
Chuquita: (worried) Quick lock the doors!!
To RyukoVulpix: Happy you liked it! Aww, Goten gets candy :) *makes mental note* Niichan = older brother,
Ototochan = younger brother. Thank you! I just thought there was one word for "brother". Heehee, ototochan does sound cute :)
Goten: (grins) Thanks! (takes some fudge) (to Goku) I like THIS holiday, Toussan!
Goku: (grins) So do I, Goten!
To Cathowl: Heehee, don't worry, Veggie lasted til Monday! Hope you get more caffeine! Heh, poor Bardock.
To Secretsquirl: Thank you! Poor Veggie, he's often untrusted even in the show. lol! Happy you liked the sign :D Veggie's
going to try to explain things to Bulma in the next story's first chapter. Happy you liked the "Fusion-Babies" comic!
Nope, Brolli's not next, but in the fic AFTER the next one will be the Movie 8 parody :) Hai, because Son-kun's not used
to fighting over Veggie since he's never had a rival for Veggie before.
To BlackDragonFury: It's oh-kay. Part 4's a day late. ^_^;; I luv your "Kakasitter!" fic :D Glad you liked "Fusion-Babies". I can probably have my ceramic Veggie scanned for Friday :D Or maybe later on today. Hai I can upload him onto
deviantart. You got plushies? You're so lucky!! *wishes she had her own Goku & Veggie plushies*. Veggie will be very
confused to have people actually fighting over him :D Goku's "plots" are going to be Veggie-shaped but thought-up w/his
own personality in mind which's both going to amuse and confuse Veggie :D
Chuquita: And that ends part 4 and "Veggietine's Day 3!" Here's the current summary for the next fic, which at the moment
doesn't have a title ^_^;;
Summary: Chi-Chi's just about had it with Veggie constantly dragging Goku off places, SO she decides to secretly relocate the
Son family to her father's house to get Goku away from Veggie for a while. But what happens when Veggie and the fusions try
to break into the village to get Goku out? They have deal with a villageful of Chi-Chi-influenced peasants who are trying to
destory them, that's what! And how will Chi-Chi react to getting a shock of a lifetime? And will Raditsu ever get away from
the women in Chi's village who appear to be luvstruck by him? Find out!
Chuquita: See you next time everybody!
Vegeta: Bye!
Goku: May your tomatoes be ripe and juicy!!
