Diclaimers: Ummmmm.... See chapter 1!
So far, this is one my most popular fanfics (along with the Shinchinin-tai
one)! And the least is the Chichi one. Not too surprising.
But still. Wow. Well, where'd I leave off....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ever see a Volkswagon bus with rockets? Well, here's one, just a- ridin' along the other side of the Milky Way. Inside, music is blasting "Hikari no Willpower" (what a song to have on max) and a man with an odd haircut and a tail was eating bananas to it. When he found he was on his last banana, he went into the front and ticked the blue-haired girl's (who was at the controls) nose with his brown tail. She sneezed and looked up at the Saiya-jin.
"What the hell is it, Goku?!" she screamed, waking up the sleeping triclops in the seat adjacent to her. He looked around, confused.
"Bulma! I'm bored! And there's no room for me and Tenshinhan to train!" Goku wined.
She rubbed her eyes. "Look, I'm tired. It took a lot of time and effort to pull enough strings so that we can get out of the situation we were in. We we're close to being bounty-heads to the underground."
"Well, Bulma, you did borrow money from that loan-shark and never paid back." The triclops mentioned.
"I needed that money to build my invention, Ten!" she shouted, "I would have used it to pay back the money I owed if Goku didn't break it!"
"I thought you said it was a training robot!" Goku pouted.
She pulled his tail (causing him to fall down). "A dog training robot! Dog! Inu! You are not a dog!"
"Well, it's all behind us now," said Tenshinhan, "Let's just put it behind us and onto the next plan."
At that moment the control panel began to beep. A flashing light said "Incoming Signal". Goku flipped a switch and the screen came on with the picture of a little, wrinkly, yellow guy.
"Wrong button, Goku..." she sighed, and greeted the little man, "Babidi! How are you?"
"Heh, you thought you could skip out without repaying me, did you?" the insect-ish creature spoke.
"No, no! Not at all!" She was feigning a laugh. "We just found ourselves a little short and decided to go and withdraw some for you. How much do we owe you now?"
"Well, the initial loan, along with expenses, interest, and fees, it takes it up to... one million zeni."
"A million?!" they all shouted. "Is that really what it adds up to? I mean, maybe you misplaced a decimal?" Tenshinhan jumped in.
Babidi chuckled. "My math is flawless. Just bring me my money by the end of the week, or you may have Buu to deal with." Buu appeared behind him and waved with a smile.
"I get the picture, Babidi! I'll get your money..." Bulma shut off the line, then groaned. "Where the hell could we find that kind of dough?"
"We can try free lance jobs." Tenshinhan suggested, "I'm sure that one of them has to be worth that much."
"A million zeni is a lot of zeni," Bulma sighed, "but maybe we can get something."
Goku scratched his head. The signal blared again, and he hit the same button, making Bulma grab his tail again.
"Kakarotto!" a worried King Vegita sounded on the screen. "The prince has run away from his wedding! He's cut off all communication soon after he left! You have to find him!"
Goku was too busy feeling bad about his tail, so Tenshinhan replaced him. "When was he last seen?"
"A few minutes ago, some lightyears outside of the Solar System. Will you please get him? The rest of the Saiya-jin are indisposed or away at the moment."
"Just a moment, King-y!" Bulma interrupted.
Tenshinhan grabbed her arm. "What the hell are you doing?"
"Relax," she whispered back at him, then turned her attention back to the royal figure. "We and Goku are in a bit of dilemma at the moment over money. He'll do it for a price."
"All right, all right. Anything. Just name your price and get his sorry ass back here before he gets himself kidnapped!"
"We'll do it for a million zeni."
"WHAT?!" The king accidentally smacked one of his guards off of his feet in the surprise. "Isn't that a bit much to save one heir?!"
"He's your only heir though, isn't he?" she winked. "Don't worry, we're professionals. We can get him out of any trouble he's in."
He regained his composure and cleared his throat. "Very well. I wish you luck." The screen went black.
Tenshinhan and Bulma grinned at each other. Goku finally stood up and interrupted them.
"Hey," he said, "Isn't it kind of odd that the Saiya-jin royal family lives at Earth?"
They blinked. "Yeah, that is weird..." responded Bulma, "Well, no matter! Let's just save a prince and get out of this hole. Things are starting to look up!"
Little did they know that they would be smacked down again. They quickly located the prince's ship (it was so big and flashy, it's hard to miss), but they found that it was being dragged into a larger and even gaudier ship.
"Shit! Space-Dragon-Balls," Tenshinhan groaned, "Maybe we should turn back."
"No way! This is easy money! And we have to get it!" shouted Bulma. She navigated the ship, making it parallel with the prince's. "Setting up junction...OK. Goku, go get them."
Vegita and #18 heard a loud bang near the emergency airlock, making them both jump. Vegita ran to the door. "Who's there?! I've told you guys a thousand times, the Saiya-jin aren't interested in joining you! ...Right now at least."
"Vegita! We're here to save you!" a voice screamed from the other side.
"K-Kakarotto?! What the hell, father sent YOU here?!"
#18 ran behind him. "I hardly think that now is the time to argue about your rescuers, Vegita-Sama!" She pressed a button to open it, and pushed her master through to the Volkswagon bus.
