TimeSkip Chapter 3: Tenkaichi Budoukai, a dragon ball z fanfic

Lil Note: Ff.net's new "quick-edit", they have removed my VERY-OFTEN used squiggle and star insignias. For now I have no idea what I could replace them with. I'm just really agitated/distraught/saddened/sickened/disappointed in them for this. We didn't NEED "Quick-Edit"! You can easily just remove and then re-upload your file after you fix it in your own processor, right? I do that all the time when I notice a mistake or two! =sniffles= This is so mean and unfair of them! I've used that star-insignia to separate my Corners and Stories for FOUR YEARS now!! Oh well, I hope you enjoy the chapter anyway, hopefully you'll be able to figure out where the squiggle and star insignias are supposed to be. =waddles off=

I tried to fix it up by testing different symbols. I have no idea what did and did not work.

Chuey's Corner:

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) We'll be sure to do that, Kakarrotto.

Goku: HEE— (grins)

Vejitto: (blinks) But Toussan you're not even IN that movie?

Goku: Yes I am. For 10 whole seconds at the very end! (nods happily)

Gogeta: But what about poor Toussan who is not even mentioned in it?

Vegeta: (sighs) Hai, I was absent for 2 movies in a row. (snorts) I could have done something very meaningful in those 2

movies! Like defeat Brolli, and then defeat Brolli's clone!

Chuquita: Welcome to Part 3 everybody!

Goku: Hooray! (turns to Veggie) Little Veggie I do not think it would be very safe if you were to fight Brolli AND his clone.

Vegeta: I wouldn't be fighting them at the SAME TIME! They were two seperate movies!

Chuquita: Still, Brolli is very big. OH! (to audiance) Speaking of big I found a doujinshi that gave Bardock's height and

weight in metrics! I translated it to feet and pounds and here's what I got! 5'7 and 143lbs . If u compare that to the

height and weight the other doujinshi gave for Veggie: 4'9 and 106lbs that'd be a 8-inch difference and 37-pound difference

Goku: WOW! Toussan is much bigger than Veggie.

Vegeta: (sweatdrops)

Chuquita: We still don't know your height though, Son-kun.

Goku: Heehee.

Vegeta: Ever find it strange how Toei seems to use Kakarrotto to not only be the show's co-announcer but endorse most of our

products? (cocks an eyebrow)

Chuquita: You mean like the movies and video-games and those eye-drop commercials?

Goku: (celebrity-endorsement-mode) (chrips) Buy this product because I, Son Goku, say so!

Vegeta: Wait, eye-drop commercials?

Chuquita: Yeah I saw them. There's one where Gohan and Chibi Goten and Trunks jump into a pool and suddenly get red-eye and

Goku comes by on Kinto'un with this little round container with his face on it and they use the eye-drops that're in there

and instantly all three of them are all better.

Vegeta: ...people would actually use a product whose container has Kakarrotto's picture on it?

Goku: (grinning at Veggie)

Vegeta: (laughs nervously) ...ah, haha, ha.

Chuquita: There was also a gt version of the commercial with the chibinized Goku saving adult Trunks and Pan from red-eye.

Vegeta: (flatly) I'm not in either of these commmericals, am I, Chu?

Chuquita: (sweatdrops) No, you're not. BUT you are shown in a commercial for Ultimate Battle 22 sitting infront of the tv

playing the game.

Gogeta: Toussan IS good at playing videogames...

Vegeta: (folds his arms) Well, I feel slightly better, but it still doesn't make sense that Kakarrotto should have such

endorsing power.

Chuquita: (shrugs) Maybe its an appeal thing.

Goku: (smiling cluelessly) :)

Vegeta: (suspicious) Hai, a bizarre, kaka-hypnotic kind of appeal thing.

Chuquita: I don't think Funi ever really did anything like that when they advertised for it here. There was always an

announcer instead of Son-kun doing the persuading.

Goku: (happily) I am a very persuasive saiyajin indeed—

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) That you are.

Vejitto: (grins) And now! Here is--

Gogeta: (also grinning) --Part 3!!

/dl

Summary: Time-travel shouldn't be that hard, right? After Bulma forbids Vejitto and Gogeta from entering the lab due to an

important experiment, their curiosity gets the best of them and the duo sneak into the lab during the night. But what happens

when her "important experiment" sends the fusions hurtling back and forth through time and space? Will they be able to go

about un-noticed without destroying the timeline? Will they be able to convince a Bulma who's never met them to fix a machine

she barely knows anything about? And will future Veggie and future Goku be able to help those in the present track down the

fusions to begin with?

" Thanks for the towel Bulma. "

" Heh, sorry about that earlier. " she sweatdropped. Bulma, Goku, Vegeta, Chi-Chi, and Raditsu all sat at the kitchen

table while Raditsu was busy wringing out his soaked hair and gi with a towel, " I sent Bura to her room so she's going to be

punished for, kidnapping you. "

" Haha, ha. " Raditsu laughed nervously, then held the item in his hands out infront of him, " I think I'm gonna need

another towel. "

" Left hallway, 2nd room on your left's a linen closet. There's more towels in there. " Vegeta pointed in the general

direction. The largest saiyajin got up and walked off, a trail of water dripping behind him.

" Poor guy. I got so worried about Goku-san that I kinda forgot I had even brought him with me at one point. I didn't

even sense Bura dragging him off. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped.

" He'll survive. " Vegeta shrugged, then smirked, " So Onna, what did you THINK happened to Kakay? "

Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at him, " Don't start with me you insane little-- "

" --HEY! " Bulma said loudly, smiling and trying to avoid another batttle from breaking out, " How about we figure

out who we're going to send after Vejitto and Gogeta. "

Goku tilted his head, " But Bulma aren't we ALL going to save Goggie and Ji-chan? "

Bulma sighed, " Son-kun the time-machine, though it can fit enough people in it, is designed to only handle ONE

passanger. Since Vejitto and Gogeta are pretty deep in the past somewhere we're going to need to send someone who can blend

in with the regular population without any of our past selves recognizing him or her. "

Goku, Vegeta, and Chi-Chi all raised their hands in volunteer.

Bulma sweatdropped, " I don't think Son-kun should go if only because he'd be TOO easily recognized. You know, the

hair and the tail and the bright orange gi and all. "

Goku pouted, " Ohhh.. "

" Also you don't know how to work the time-machine. " she added.

Goku nodded. Vegeta patted him on the back sympathetically and Goku leaned sideways onto the little ouji's shoulder.

Vegeta grinned evilly at Chi-Chi and pulled Goku closer. Chi-Chi growled.

" I certainly can't go because I'm famous and more people would recognize me than they even would Son-kun, seeing as

I haven't lost my girlish good-looks. " Bulma boasted.

Vegeta and Chi-Chi sweatdropped.

" While Chi-Chi would be good at blending in, Vegeta could probably get the fusions to come back with him easier, so

I think we should send him. "

" HA! " Vegeta pointed at Chi-Chi victoriously. The ouji gently pushed Goku back upright and stood up, " So! " he

said with a proud grin on his face, " How does this machine work, anyway? "

/dl

" MMMmmm—— fish. " Vejitto sighed happily.

" Fish on a stick—— " Gogeta added. The two saiyajins sat on a bench outside the Fish-on-a-Stick booth in the

Food-Court, eating their snacks. Yet-to-be-opened bags of potato-chips and cheese-doodles sat beside them along with 2

already-opened Pepsi cans with the design of the time on them.

" =sniff=sniff=sniff=sniff=sniff= "

Gogeta paused from eating, hearing something sniffing rapidly beneath him. He looked to his right to see chibi Goku

tapping the bag of potato-chips while sniffing it. Goku looked up and grinned.

" You have FISH! "

" Yes we do! " Gogeta said happily.

" It's "Fish-on-a-Stick". See? " Vejitto pointed to the booth just behind them.

" OOH! I want one! " Goku hopped up and down, then ran behind the fusions to the booth only to freeze when he noticed

the two people he had just talked two had furry brown tails sticking out of their rear ends. The tails were currently wafting

in the breeze behind them, " O....OH! " he gasped in shock, " You...you both have TAILS! " Goku said as he walked out around

infront of them.

" Of course we do! " Gogeta said.

" Hai we would not have them if it weren't for you and Mommy! " Vejitto added.

" You have tails...and you like eating fish...just like ME... " Goku's eyes widened. The chibi grinned at them, " You

must be my PARENTS! "

" WAAH! "

" WAAH! " both fusions fell over.

" THAT IS CRAZY!! " Gogeta exclaimed, his face red with embarassment.

" YOU'VE GOT IT ALL WRONG! " Vejitto shouted, pink with embarassment, " You're OUR Toussan! "

" Huh? " Goku blinked, tilted his head.

" Hey Goku did you--OH! " Bulma ran up to him and gasped. Behind the chibi were two handsome well-built young men

with furry brown tails and flame-like spiky hair; one with two Goku-ish bangs and the other with one, " ...wow. " Bulma's

cheeks blushed red as she squeaked the word out. She noticed both of them each held a fish-on-a-stick snack, " You gotta be

kidding me! "

" Bulma, they're both guys. " Puar said.

" I noticed that. " Bulma said, her eyes locked on the two fusions, who happily waved to her.

" Hey no drooling up there. " Oolong commented, " What about Yamcha?! "

" Who... " Bulma said, not paying attention.

Oolong sweatdropped, " Oh brother here we go... " he shook his head.

Bulma walked up to the two saiyajins and sat between them, " Hey there. So! You're...uh...you're... " she looked

back and forth between Vejitto and Gogeta.

" Get your mind out of the gutter and just ask the question already! " Oolong exclaimed.

" SHUDDUP YOU I'M GETTING TO THE QUESTION! " Bulma snapped at him, " I was just waiting for the perfect moment. "

" Sure ya were. " Oolong said sarcastically.

Bulma took a deep breath and turned to the fusions, " Are you Goku's parents? "

The fusions flushed and Gogeta was about to protest again.

" We're-HIS-children! From-the-future!! " Vejitto quickly spat out.

" ... " Bulma blinked, " GOKU'S children....you're not his par---yeah I guess that would be pretty impossible

for you to be his mom and dad considering...well...wait, you're from the FUTURE? " her eyes widened.

" Mmm-hmm! " Vejitto nodded, " We came from the future by accident. "

Bulma still stared in disbelief, " So...you're Goku's SONS?! Wait, if this is what his SONS look like grown up, then

what will Go-- " she glanced back at the chubby little chibi for a moment who just smiled at her, " --ku look like at your

age.. " she turned back to the fusions.

" Mmm, somethin like this! " Gogeta chirped, then reached up and patted Vejitto's hair down ontop causing his spikes

to pop out in a kaka-esque manner.

" Don't do that! " Vejitto sweatdropped, pushing the spikes back up so they appeared more veggie-ish instead.

" If you're from the future why did you come here? " Puar asked.

" We told you it was an accident. " Gogeta replied, " We were gonna go right back, but we decided we'd rather

participate in the tournament instead. " he nodded.

" We're going back home right after though, cuz both our Toussan and Mommy are probably getting very worried a-bout

us by now. " Vejitto explained.

" Oh...I guess that makes sense. " Puar replied, still slightly confused.

" What about the tails? I mean, you two DO know about the whole full moon plus monkey-tails = " Bulma paused and her

voice went down to a whisper, " Giant Ape. "

" Haha, hahaha, " Gogeta laughed.

" Of course we do! We are saiyajins! ALL saiyajins have tails and spiky hair and turn into oozarus when enough zeno

units are reflected off the moon and into their eyes! " Vejitto said cheerfully like it was nothing.

" Saiya...jins? " Bulma blinked.

" Yup! We're from the planet Bejito-sei, deep in outer-space! " Gogeta pointed upward.

" HA! " Oolong said to Bulma, " I told you they were aliens! "

" You mean, there's a whole entire planet full of super-strong hot guys with furry monkey tails? " Bulma gasped.

" Uh-huh! " Vejitto nodded happily.

Bulma eagerly grabbed him by the hands, " Take me to your leader! "

Vejitto sweatdropped and laughed, " Hahaha, funny you should say that-- "

" --30 MINUTE WARNING! THIS IS THE 30 MINUTE WARNING FOR ALL TENKAICHI BUDOUKAI CONTESTANTS! 30 MINUTES UNTIL THE

START OF THE PRELIMINARY ROUNDS! " the familiar sunglasses-wearing announcer's voice boomed over the loud-speakers.

" Huh, I thought I heard him somewhere before.. " Gogeta trailed off.

" Actually Bejito-sei was blown up a while ago by an evil ice-jin named Freeza. " Vejitto told Bulma, who's

expression went to immediate disappointment.

" Blown-up?! But, but who would be crazy enough to blow up a planet of guys who look, well, you know!! " she

sputtered, motioning to both fusions.

" Freeza feared the saiyajins strength so he blew us up before we could destroy him and save our planet. " Gogeta

explained.

" Hai, he had us all enslaved and he kidnapped our Mommy when Mommy was just a chibi. " Vejitto continued, " Mommy

went through so much pain.. "

" You're mother's a saiya-jin too? " Bulma said, " Is she here? When will we meet her? "

" Hahaha, " Vejitto laughed, " In this time Mommy's still being held captive, but Mommy and Toussan will meet

eventually. 6 years after the 23rd Budoukai! "

" '6 YEARS after the'... " Bulma trailed off and did the math, " Let's see, 3 years between each Tenkaichi Budoukai,

and I'm 16 now...AHH! I'll be 28 by the time Goku and your mother MEET?!! " a little doom cloud hung over her head, " Oh

dear God....how old am I where YOU come from?! "

" We're not really sure. " Vejitto shook his head.

" Yeah Toussan and Kaasan never really kept track of ages 'n stuff, 'specially since saiyajin live for up to 500

years due to our super-slow metabolism. "

" Yeah! All that happens when we get old is our hair turns gray and then white! No wrinkles or age-spots or anything

like humans get. " Vejitto nodded.

" You guys have the key to eternal YOUTH too?! "

" I would not say ETERNAL... " Gogeta sweatdropped.

" WOW....Goku's gonna live THAT long, huh... " Bulma looked down at Goku, who was busy poking and staring at the two

fusions.

" So you're related to me, but you're not my mommy and daddy? " Goku asked them.

" Sorry Toussan. " Vejitto smiled, " But if it helps, your mommy and daddy do love you very much. "

" Oh.... Hey! Will I get a chance to meet 'um? " the chibi said anxiously.

" Sure! One day you will! " Gogeta said.

" Really? " Goku gushed, " That's great! I can't wait to meet 'um! "

" Aw they're real nice, Kaasan! You'll like 'um a lot! " Gogeta chirped.

" ...did you just call Goku your KAASAN? " Bulma's eyes bugged out of her head.

" Ah, no? " Gogeta said as if questioning himself.

" Yes, you did? "

" No I, didn't? "

" ... "

" Uh, ah...LOOKUPTHEREAFLYINGFISH! " Gogeta shouted.

" WHERE?! " Goku squealed in excitement as the others looked upward.

" I don't see any--HEY! " Bulma looked back down and sweatdropped to see the fusions on a bright red motorcycle

wearing helmets and goggles.

Vejitto grabbed the handles tightly, " Come Goggie! Let's RIDE! "

" Hey, you guys know that display's just for show, right? " a shopkeeper walked up to them and pointed to the

motorcycle.

Vejitto and Gogeta blinked and the motorcycle they were on instantly crashed into a million pieces; Vejitto still

holding the handle-bars, " ...aw poo. "

/dl

" Are you really sure we can trust the OUJI to fly around through the time-space continuum? "

" Yes he'll be fine. "

" I mean, are you sure, REALLY? "

" There's nothing wrong with sending VEGETA after them, Chi-Chi! It's better than sending Son-kun! " Bulma

sweatdropped at the nervous woman.

" Yeah but what if he decides that as long as he's back there he'll go off and rewrite history by MURDERING me so

he can have Goku-san all to himself! " Chi-Chi protested.

" I tried that already, didn't work. " Vegeta said, sitting in the seat of the time-machine, whose controls were a

lot different-looking than they had been the last time he'd time-traveled.

Chi-Chi twitched.

" Vegeta you should get yourself ready while I double-check the controls. This thing got us back here but that

doesn't mean its in completely perfect condition. Who knows how long its been since its last use. " Bulma pointed out.

" Fine. " Vegeta said, hopping out of the machine, " I shall go ready myself for time-travel. Come, Kakarrotto. " he

smirked as he passed the larger saiyajin.

" HAHA! YAY! " Goku cheered as he followed Vegeta up the stairs.

" HEY! WHADDA YOU NEED GOKU-SAN FOR! YOU CAN DRESS YOURSELF! " Chi-Chi shouted.

" Of course I can, Onna. " Vegeta snickered, " But you see, I'd like Kakay here to HELP me pick out something NICE

to wear. Isn't that right, Kakay? "

" Heeheehee—— " Goku giggled, his cheeks turning pink.

" That's my favorite peasant to ever exist. " the ouji patted Goku on the back as they got to the top of the stairs.

" He is SO lucky I'm done with trying to kill him. " Chi-Chi muttered. She paused and looked up at Bulma, " Did you

figure out how far back in the past they are yet? "

Bulma sighed, " Not really. I think I'm getting closer though. There's little tiny red notches at the top of the

screen, those could represent anything from days to months to YEARS! Why didn't I LABEL any of this!? Oh God I hope my eyes

don't start to go like my father's! I can't imagine wearing glasses all day! Do you know how EASILY glasses get smudged?

It'd drive me crazy! "

" I wouldn't know. I've never had any trouble with my eyes. My father also wears them though. " Chi-Chi thought

outloud.

" Heeheehee, oh Veh-gee——— " Goku's voice laughed from upstairs.

Chi-Chi snorted, " Evil little Ouji psychopath. " she mumbled, " I'll be right back. " she said, then slowly crept

towards the stairs.

Bulma blinked, then looked back at her controls, " Oh BOY this is gonna be tougher than I thought. "

/dl

" Little Veggie you look so CUTE! I LUV IT! " Goku gushed as he finished tieing the white gi sash around the ouji's

waist. Vegeta was now wearing the little blue gi Goku had gotten for him a while ago. The ouji kept his gloves and boots

on though.

" You would. " Vegeta sweatdropped, " Are you SURE I should wear THIS to go traveling through time? "

" Of course! A gi is a sure sign to say 'Hi! I'm friendly and not evil!'. " Goku waved to the non-existent people

before him.

" Yeah, and why don't I just put a big sign on my back that says "Kaka-hugging-device" on it. " the ouji snorted.

" Wouldn't hurt! " Goku chirped.

Vegeta sweatdropped even more.

" Here. " Goku said, taking something out of his pocket, " Here are some yummy senzu beans for little Veggie to take

with him incase he or me 'n Veggie's fusion-babies need some. " Goku patted the bag in Vegeta's hands.

" Geez, this is heavy!! How many beans are in here?! " Vegeta gawked.

" Korin got a fresh crop in earlier this week so I stopped buy to pick up some. You know, with how hard me 'n Veggie

spar against each other I figured we'd need 'um. " Goku smiled.

" Hm, good point. Vegeta looked at the bag, then tied it to his gi sash.

" MMMMMMM! " Goku reached over and glomped the little ouji tightly. Vegeta's face turned bright red as the larger

saiyajin snuggled in closer, " You be extra-careful oh-kay little Veggie? I don't want anything bad happening to the sweetest

little Veggie in the whole wide world who I luv so very much! "

The ouji glowed even brighter. Vegeta nodded numbly.

Goku held the smaller saiyajin out infront of him, " THAT'S my little Veggie! "

Vegeta's head tilted, a blank look still on his face.

" GAH!? You actually got it into a GI?! "

Goku looked over to see Chi-Chi standing in the doorway staring at him in shock. She walked inside.

" Oh my God you actually did it? " she blinked, then narrowed her eyes, " Alright, what did he make you promise him

for letting you put a gi on him? "

" Veggie did not promise me anything. " Goku smiled, " I just told Veggie how super-cute he looks in his little blue

gi—— Isn't that right, Veggie? " he turned back to the dazed glowing ouji and shook him slightly, " 'That's right, Kakay'."

" ...uhhhhh... " Vegeta made a noise.

Chi-Chi sweatdropped.

" OOHMYVEGGIE! " Goku instantly glomped and squeezed the little ouji against him, " How I LUV u! " he ruffed Vegeta's

hair.

" How about you try flicking a few of those "kaka-germs" inside his ear while you're at it? " Chi-Chi smirked,

sliding over to Goku.

" Hmm? " Goku tilted Vegeta's head and looked inside his ear, " HellooOOOOOOOoo——— "

" Ahhhh.... "

Goku sat the still-dazed Vegeta down on the ground and took him by the hand, " Come little Veggie! Let's go show

Bulma how nice and a-dorable u look in your little blue gi—— " he smiled warmly at the ouji as he led Vegeta out of his room;

the smaller saiyajin waddling drunkenly behind him.

Chi-Chi rolled her eyes and followed them out.

/dl

" WOW! Look at how BIG it is in here! " Vejitto said in awe as he, Gogeta, Chibi Goku, Bulma walked into the inside

arena used for the preliminary rounds.

" You know, you still didn't explain why you called Goku your "Kaasan". " Bulma zipped infront of Gogeta.

" Ah.. " Gogeta paused, trying to come up with something.

" It was, a slip of the tongue! " Vejitto spoke up.

" Yeah! My tongue slipped! " Gogeta nodded happily.

" Uh-huh... " Bulma said suspiciously.

" Excuse me, are you all registered for the preliminary rounds? " a man walked up to them holding a sign-in sheet.

" Well, actually I'm just a spectator but-- " Bulma started out.

" --then I'm going to have to ask you to leave. "

" But, but he didn't answer my question! And there's something, different about them--and, " Bulma sighed, " Fine.

I'll ask them LATER. " she said, keeping her vision looked on the two fusions as she left, " Goku say hi to Yamcha for me! "

Bulma waved to the chibi.

" Oh-kay! " Goku chirped, waving back.

" Byebye! " Gogeta added happily.

" Goku! There you are! " a voice said from behind them. The three saiyajins turned around to see Kuririn standing

there grinning.

" Kuririn! " Goku cheered and gave him a quick hug, " Kuririn, this is Vejitto and Gogeta. They're my kids from the

future! They came here in a time machine--whatever that is. " he cheerfully introduced the fusions.

" Wait--what!? " Kuririn gawked, " YOUR kids?! From the FUTURE?! NO WAY! " he looked over at them.

" Hi down there! " Vejitto smiled.

" Hello—— " Gogeta said.

" Wow, then you must know who wins this tournament, huh? "

" Actually, yes we do! " Vejitto replied.

" But we can't tell you, or else it might not happen! " Gogeta nodded quickly.

" That is why we're going to stay out of the finals themselves, unless... " Vejitto trailed off. He ran the final

roster through his head, ::Let's see, Roshi VS Yamcha, Kuririn VS Bacterian, Namu VS Ranfan, and Toussan VS Giran. THEN it

was Roshi VS Kuririn, and Namu VS Toussan. And THEN it was Roshi VS Toussan and Roshi won. Hmm...:: " I do not see any way

we could really get to the finals without messing the outcome up, unless one of us knocks out Ranfan during the preliminaries

and takes her place...but then it'd just be one of us and we'd have to stage a fake outcome... "

" Aww do not worry, Jitto! " Gogeta happily patted him on the shoulders, " We'll just play in the preliminaries,

that's all. Besides! You know what's coming up later this year in the present don't you? "

Vejitto shook his head.

Gogeta grinned, " The 27th TENKAICHI BUDOUKAI! "

Vejitto gasped with joy, " Goggie you are RIGHT! How could I have forgotten! "

Gogeta spun around on his toes, " And that is a tournament we can enter without having to fear the time and space

continuum! "

" HOORAY! "

Kuririn's eyes widened in shock, " The--the--twenty-SEVENTH Tenkaichi Budoukai?! "

" WOW! Just think of how great it will be! Toussan and Mommy'll enter of course along with you 'n me, and then

Chi-Chi'd have Gohan and Goten enter, and then maybe Uncle Ditsu and Trunks will enter too! " Vejitto exclaimed excitedly.

" It'll be the BEST Tenkaichi Budoukai EVER! A true super saiyajin brawl for the ages!! " Gogeta gushed.

" "Super saiyajin"... " Kuririn trailed off.

" Oh that's what I am! " Goku grinned, " Vejitto and Gogeta said we're all from a planet in outer-space called

Bejito-sei and everyone there likes to spar and eat fish just like me! "

" WHOA!? YOU MEAN YOU'RE A SPACE-ALIEN? " Kuririn gasped.

" Uh, what's a space-alien? " Goku blinked.

" What you just DESCRIBED!! Someone who comes from another planet! "

" I guess so. " Goku only tilted his head, " They're pretty cool though. Like me, only BIGGER! " he grinned.

" In the future, you're just as big as we are! " Vejitto chirped.

" He is? What about me? " Kuririn asked eagerly.

" ...you, not as much. " Vejitto sweatdropped, then perked up, " But you do get married AND have a daughter! "

" I get married too? When do I meet her? " the bald chibi grinned.

" Uh, well, when you're bigger and older than you are now. "

" Oh. " Kuririn looked confused, " Well still that's great! Isn't it Goku! "

Goku was staring up at the fusions curiously, " ...Vegeta. " he said finally.

Both fusions froze in place.

" Wha--what did you say? " Vejitto laughed nervously.

" You both look sorta like, Vegeta.......whoever Vegeta is. " Goku paused and scratched his head.

" Haha, head-wound. " Gogeta gave his own nervous laugh.

The chibi in turn looked up at his head.

" Hey there Goku! Glad to see you again! " a voice said from behind him.

Goku turned around to see a tall young man with short hair and a headband around it, " Do I know you? "

" Aw come on Goku, you couldn't have forgotten me already. " he sweatdropped, then assumed a serious position and

stuck a fighting pose, " WOLF FANG FIST! "

" YAMCHA! " the chibi squealed happily, " What happened to your hair? You look so different without it. "

Yamcha laughed, " Haha, Bulma made me cut it, she said short hair is much more "in" now. "

" -cough- Bura-genes -cough-. " Vejitto fake-coughed.

" Mmm-hmm. " Gogeta nodded, " Wait, wouldn't it be the other way around, since Bura got her genes FROM Bulma? "

" ... "

" Oww. " Vejitto rubbed his head.

" So, who are all your friends here? " Yamcha asked Goku.

Goku smiled, " This is Kuririn, he's my best friend and one of Master Roshi's students just like me. "

" Hi! " Kuririn waved.

" And these are my sons from the future! They came here in a time-machine by mistake. " he pointed to Vejitto and

Gogeta.

" Hi! "

" Hi! " the fusions chirped at once.

" Oh. The future. Sure. " Yamcha looked a little freaked out.

" In an alternate future, Bulma creates a time machine, and that's what we used! " Gogeta explained.

" Say, DO Bulma and I live, ya know, happily ever after? " he said slyly.

" Heehee. " Gogeta giggled, " Heeheehee. Haha, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! " he burst into all-out

laughter.

" ... " Yamcha's face went blank, " What's wrong with him? " he asked Vejitto, then sweatdropped to see the older

fusion snickering as well.

" Aw, heh-heh, nothing. " Vejitto brushed it off.

" Jittoletmetellhim! " Gogeta said eagerly.

" No we can't! " Vejitto gasped, " It would only depress him to know in the present he's a lonely 37 year old single

man with a ponytail and bright-colored boxer-shorts! "

" WHAT?! " Yamcha gawked.

" Oop! " Vejitto covered his mouth.

" Heeheehee, naughtynaughty Jitto—— " Gogeta grinned.

" I'm...alone?! But, but what about BULMA!? " Yamcha's face had turned green.

" She falls in love with and has 3 children with the ruler and prince of our homeplanet. " Gogeta chirped.

" Though they never do marry. " Vejitto added, " If Mirai were here, he would say "It was a passion sort of a thing".

" he said happily, quoting the other time-traveler.

" And yet they are still to-gether. Impressive. " Gogeta nodded.

Yamcha slumped forward, looking defeated.

" ALL PARTICIPANTS TO CHOOSE THEIR NUMBERS AND REPORT TO THEIR STATIONS IMMEDIATELY! " one of the workers shouted

over a megaphone.

" HOORAY! " Gogeta cheered.

" Come Goggie! Let us go draw numbers! " Vejitto grinned.

Gogeta whipped out a pencil and paper, " I choose 7! " he held up the paper which now had a large 7 on it.

" YAY FOR GOGGIE! " Vejitto applauded.

" Your sons are, unique, Goku. " Kuririn said to his friend, " Did they ever tell you who their mother is? "

" No, I didn't think to ask her name. " Goku replied, then smiled, " But I'm sure whoever she is she's very very

nice! AND really good at making yummy food! "

/dl

" GAH!!! STUPID STUPID KAKA-GERMS!! " Vegeta sputtered as he sprayed himself for the 3rd time. The ouji was still in

the little blue gi, which for some reason attracted kaka-hugs like a moth to a flame. Everytime Goku had walked past the ouji

while he was in the little blue gi he had lundged at Vegeta and glomped him tightly until they fell to the floor and Goku

would start to purr and Vegeta would scream for help while smacking Goku over the head with the bottle of Peasant-Repel.

" You know, you could always change back into your regular clothes. " Bulma suggested as she sat in the driver's seat

of the time-machine measuring the difference between their dot and Vejitto and Gogeta's.

" I'm not changing back NOW! It would disappoint Kakarrotto. " Vegeta snorted.

Bulma glanced over at him lamely, " I'm just saying you're the one who has to wear it, not him. " she turned back to

her machine, " I mean, chibi Goku was affectionate but he didn't start glomping and hugging that much until AFTER he went

through puberty. "

" Yeah well that blasted Kami decided to cut off Kakarrotto's tail during his transition from childhood to adulthood,

that HAD to have messed up his kaka-sex-drive to a point. " Vegeta muttered.

Bulma paled, " PLEASE don't use those two words in the same dashed phrase. "

" What words? "

" Oh my GOD you were unaware you even said it? " she gawked.

" Said WHAT! " the ouji was beginning to get annoyed.

" "Kaka" and "sex", connected by only a dash! "

" ... " Vegeta's pupils shrunk to two tiny dots, " WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! " he

ran screaming out of the room.

Bulma sweatdropped, " Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that. "

" Yeah, you probably shouldn't. "

" ?! " Bulma blinked and looked over to see Mirai leaning against the time-machine, " OH! Mirai! Hi! "

" Hi! " he waved back at her, sweatdropping, " You don't think I'd let an entire story about time-travel go by

without me making at least something of an appearance now do you? "

" I guess not. Sorry! " she laughed, " You wanna come up here and help me with this? "

" Sure. " Mirai flew up and landed beside her in the time-machine. His eyes bugged out of his head when he noticed

all the modifications and updates and tuneups the machine had been given, " WHOA!? "

" Yah, that's what I said. " Bulma admitted, " This time-machine is the one from those possible-future versions of

Son-kun and Vegeta 102 years in the future! "

" 107 actually. "

" What? "

" Remember the last time they were here, they said it had been 105 years in the future. Two years have passed since

then so the least number of years in the future they could be would be 107. You don't know though cuz time-travel warps your

perception of how time passes--albeit temporarily. " Mirai explained, looking through the controls.

" Huh, I suppose that makes sense... " Bulma trailed off.

" I could go take this time-machine and bring my mom back here to look it over if you want, afterall she was the one

who started this in the first place. " Mirai offered.

" Oh! No thanks Mirai, that would only confuse things further. " Bulma sweatdropped, ::Besides I don't know WHAT

she'd think of Vegeta running around in a little blue gi screaming while Son-kun keeps hugging him:: " Huh, you know I should

pay a visit to my other self sometime, you know after all this blows over. "

" What is going on anyway? " Mirai asked.

" Oh, you know, Vejitto and Gogeta snuck into my lab at night, against my orders, brought drinks with them, against

my orders, and accidentally sent themselves spiraling through time and space. " she sighed.

Mirai paled, " You're kidding. "

" I WISH. The only redeeming part of this situation is that I just happened to have added on a new component to the

machine earlier that day before the incident happened. This component sprays a certain gas that alters the frequencies in the

air that transmit to the brain and help create short-term memories. It stays in the air a good 10 minutes after the time

machine has left and therefore creates a sort of primative effect compaired to the brain-freezer. " Bulma explained, " To

tell the truth it's really more complicated than that, but it would take me just hours to get down to the scientific level of

it. " she laughed.

" Oh. " Mirai said simply.

" Anyway, once I figure out exactly WHERE in time the fusions are, we plan to send Vegeta back to get them. " Bulma

said.

" TOUSSAN!? You're sending TOUSSAN to get them!? " Mirai gasped.

" Yeah, so? "

" But, but wouldn't Toussan's mind become corrupted once he recieves the temporary power to bend time and space? "

Mirai looked worried.

" Of course not! " Bulma brushed it aside, " Well, actually it all depends on where we have to send him--BUT, I doubt

he'll cause any damage since our primary concern is the safe return of Vejitto and Gogeta. "

" I guess you're right. " Mirai thought outloud.

" ... "

" SO! " Bulma perked up, " What do you think these tiny vertical red dashes represent? Years or decades? "

/dl

" Hmm, well Jitto it looks like we're in the same block. " Gogeta said as he looked at his number, then back up at

the board listing where each number went and which block advanced where.

" That's perfect! " Vejitto grinned.

" Huh? " Gogeta blinked.

" Goggie there's no one here stronger than us! Or anyone who can even compare! We'll obviously be facing each other

at the final match of our block, right? "

Gogeta nodded.

" SO, we'll make it a double-knockout! Then the person who's supposed to advance to the finals still gets to advance,

get it? " Vejitto explained.

" OHHH! " the younger fusion said, enlightened, " Jitto that is in-gen-i-ous! " Gogeta gushed.

" Heh—— we have learned from the best. " Vejitto smirked.

" That we have! " Gogeta added.

" ... "

" How do you think we should fight? Do it Toussan's way and keep our ki low enough to keep it a fair fight, or do it

Mommy's way and just chuck, punch, and jump-kick all of our opponents out of the ring? " Vejitto asked him.

" :) "

" :)

/dl

" HEEEEYAHHHHHHH!!!! "

" OOF! "

" And another opponent jump-kicked right out of the ring let's hear it for SON GOGETA OUJISAMA! " the announcer held

Gogeta's arm up. Gogeta gave the audiance a Son-grin while they applauded in shock.

" WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! " Vejitto chucked his opponent up over his

head and across the room.

" Another win for SON VEJITTO OUJISAMA as well! " the announcer motioned to Vejitto, who pumped his fist in the air

in victory and made a grin that mirrored Gogeta's.

" Toussan's blood runs strong within us. " Gogeta wagged his tail, looking over at the portara fusion.

" Yes Goggie, yes it does. " Vejitto agreed.

" And now for the FINAL round of this block, to decide which of these fine young warriors will move on to the finals,

Son Vejitto Oujisama VS Son Gogeta Oujisama!! " the announcer announced.

" -GASP-! Already! " Gogeta said in surprise.

Vejitto looked around; there were indeed quite a few woozy and dizzy men and women wandering around the room he and

Gogeta had defeated, " Yeah I think that's about right. "

" Gentlemen if you'll please step into the ring. " the announcer motioned them over.

The fusions grinned at one another and the got onto the ring.

" Ya know, " Vejitto said, cracking his knuckles, " I think this is the first real battle where we've faced off

against one another since the day we met. " he smirked.

" Yeah, shame it has to end in a false double-knockout. " Gogeta smirked back at him.

" Hey, would you rather beat me and then go back to the present to discover we no longer exist and that Freeza or

Cell or Buu has destroyed Earth? " Vejitto shrugged.

" Huh. Good point. " Gogeta looked up and nodded.

" READY! " the announcer shouted.

The fusions both struck fighting poses.

" GO! "

" HAAAA!! "

" HAAAA!! " Vejitto and Gogeta flew at each other and sent forth left and right kicks that mirrored one another. They

both jumped back onto the ground. Vejitto lept off the ground and flew at Gogeta who dodged and sent his knee up only to

have Vejitto disappear just before the kick. Vejitto spun around until he was behind Gogeta and sent a punch at Gogeta.

Gogeta grabbed Vejitto by the arm and swung him over his head only to have Vejitto twist his body and send a kick to

Gogeta's stomach. Gogeta flipped over and plunged a foot down on Vejitto's back, then jumped off him and landed on the other

side of the ring just intime for Vejitto to teleport before him with a ball of ki hidden in his hands. Gogeta gasped at the

closeness and suddenly sensed the ki in the older fusions hands just as Vejitto let it loose, blasting the top of Gogeta's

chest and slightly singing his vest.

" Heh—— " Vejitto grinned.

" Very funny Jitto. " Gogeta chuckled, then burst into ssj and elbowed him.

Vejitto stumbled backwards and burst into ssj as well.

Gogeta smirked and steadied his ki, " HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! " 4 additional Gogeta's suddenly appeared, two on either

side of him.

Vejitto narrowed his eyes and formed a ball of ki on each of his five fingers. He sent the five blasts after the

five Gogetas, who flew off in all different directions, Vejitto's ki balls following each one. The Gogetas maneuvered the

ki balls towards Vejitto and teleported out of sight sending the 5 balls of ki heading back to Vejitto himself. The portara

fusion easily deflected all 5 ki balls, which hurtled through the roof of the building and up into the sky.

" Heh-heh-heh. " the Gogetas chuckled in unison, then slid back into a single Gogeta hovering several feet above

the platform.

The audiance stared at the fight with shock, multiple jaws hanging open.

Goku's eyes were wide and sparkling in awe, having never seen such a battle before.

Vejitto and Gogeta at once struck the same fighting pose.

" BIG... "

" BANG... "

" KA.. "

" MEH.. "

" HA.. "

" MEH.. "

" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! " Vejitto and Gogeta's voice shouted in perfect synchronicity as

two huge blue ki blasts ripped out through their hands and flew at each other's, colliding head-on. Each fusion pushed their

all into their own blast. Neither Big Bang Kamehameha moved an inch.

" ERRRR... "

Vejitto and Gogeta burst into ssj2 and pushed harder. The entire building began to quake under the pressure. Some

fighters and referees began to evacuate. Goku's pupils had expanded to 5 times their normal size by now and he had almost

forgotten to breathe due to the sheer power that was flashing before him.

Yamcha and Kuririn were starting to get worried about staying where they were, but did so anyway because they

couldn't abandon Goku like that.

" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! "

" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! " Vejitto and Gogeta burst into ssj3 and the pressure between the blasts exploded and sent

them skyrocketing backwards against opposite walls. Both fusions hit their heads on impact and fell back to their normal

forms as they fell to the ground, dizzy swirly's in either of their eyes.

" ...whoa. " the announcer gawked at what had just happened, " Uh--I mean--since both Vejitto and Gogeta have fallen

out of the ring, and are currently unconsious--the fighters who lost to them in the previous round, Namu and Ranfan, will

proceed to the finals. " he said, a little lost.

" Alright! " Ranfan pumped her fist in the air.

" Alright indeed, heh-heh. " Jackie-Chun said, glancing over at her with a lecherous grin.

" Vejitto Gogeta are you alright! " Goku shouted, running back and forth between them.

" Wha--wah? " Vejitto blinked, shaking his head clear as he sat up, feeling very dizzy.

" THATWASTHECOOLESTBATTLEIVEEVERSEENEVERYOUGUYSARETHEGREATEST!!! " Goku gushed, bouncing up and down.

" Aww, thanks Toussan. " Vejitto grinned.

" Hai, do not mention it. " Gogeta grinned as well, struggling over to Goku, Vejitto, Kuririn, and Yamcha.

" I'm just sad you don't get to make it to the finals. " Goku frowned, then smiled, " It would've been so great to

fight you! BOTH of you! "

" Hahaha, well if we had done that then we might've really messed up history. " Vejitto laughed.

" Did you really mean to knock each other out though? " Yamcha asked.

" Well, that was the plan when we started, but we kinda forgot about it halfway through the fight. " Gogeta

sweatdropped.

" Yeah, it was supposed to be a fake double-knockout, not a real one. " Vejitto was rubbing his hands in pain. He

smiled over at Gogeta, " I gotta hand it to you though, that was a great fight, Goggie! I've never had to go ssj3 against

anyone before! "

" Hee—— " Gogeta grinned, " Me neither! "

" I'd say you're both very evenly matched. " Jackie-Chun walked over to them, " And both very powerful. "

" Well we are from the future... " Vejitto trailed off.

" AND we are the fusion-babies of the two most powerful saiyajin in the universe! " Gogeta boasted.

" And this is one of them! " Vejitto patted Goku on the head.

" Saiyajin--wait, you're Goku's SONS?! " Jackie-Chun gawked.

" Mmm-hmm! " both fusions nodded happily.

" Hmm. Yes. Well, that explains it. No other way you could've gotten such strength. Goku's your father...but, why

would he send you to the past? And how did you even get here? "

" A time machine. " Gogeta said.

" Speaking of which, it is time of us to go! " Vejitto tossed a capsule into the air and in a poof of smoke, the

time machine was exposed. He hopped inside, followed by Gogeta, " We wish you luck in the tournament, Toussan! "

" Hai! A lot of good luck! " Gogeta cheered.

" Thanks! " Goku chirped, " Hey, will I ever see you again? "

" Of course you will! You're our Toussan! We'll see you in the future once the future is the present! " Vejitto said

cheerfully as he closed the roof to the time machine over them.

Goku looked confused, " ??? "

" OFF WE GO! " Vejitto turned the machine on and pumped his fist in the air.

" TO THE FUTURE! " Gogeta added happily. The machine lifted up off the ground and disappeared from sight.

" Huh. " Goku blinked. He turned to the others curiously, " Hey, have any of you ever heard of someone named Vegeta?"

They all shook their heads "no".

Goku scratched his head, confused, " "Vegeta".... "

/dl

" -FWOOOOOSH-!! " the time machine made a noise as it flew through the blasted through time and space, which seemed

to look just as bright and blue as it had last time.

" Well, that was fun! " Vejitto smiled at his fellow fusion, who nodded in agreement.

" Yeah! You know we should battle more often. I had no idea how evenly matched we were, it feels like forever since

we last fought each other. " Gogeta commented.

" At least we know which direction we're supposed to go in to get home this time. " Vejitto said, " I'm surprised

you didn't use your Confetti Kamehameha though. "

" Hee—— lookin forward to it, huh? " Gogeta laughed, " The fight just got so intense I completely forgot about that

move and just focused on beating you. "

" Heh, same here. " Vejitto smirked, then looked out the window, " You think we're anywhere near the present? "

" I dunno. I thought you knew. "

Vejitto sighed.

" ... "

" I think this is it. " he said suddenly.

" Are you sure? " Gogeta asked.

" Hey you were the one who made us turn around before the last time. I think I know what I am doing now. " Vejitto

nodded.

" Oh-kay... " Gogeta trailed off, doubtful, " But if we are greeted by Cell or Majin Buu it is your fault this time."

" Haha! I'm sure we'll be oh-kay Goggie! Trust me! " Vejitto gave him a thumbs-up, then pulled the time machine down

out of the time-stream and prepared for a landing.

/dl

The Present...

" NO NO NO NO!! " Bulma wailed, " THEY JUST PASSED US!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS NOW I HAVE TO START MY CALCULATIONS ALL

OVER AGAIN AAARG! " she slammed her head downward at the controls just as Mirai whipped out a large pillow and plunked it

down quickly upon what would be the point of impact.

" -BOOF-! " as a consequence Bulma's head made a sound less harmful than a crash.

Mirai sweatdropped, " Okaasan you could've destroyed our only chance at finding them! You can't hit the equipment! "

" Ohhhhh... " Bulma groaned, " I'm sorry Mirai. It's just that this is getting me really frustrated. You know that is

the absolute worst feeling in the world a genius like me can feel. Frustration comes from lack of understanding and not being

able to do anything to further enlarge your amount of information TO understand it. It makes me feel stupid and I hate it. "

she grumbled, her head sideways on the pillow.

" That doesn't mean you have to take it out on the machinery. " Mirai sweatdropped again, " Listen, we'll find them.

It may take longer than you want it to but in the end isn't it worth it if we can get them back here safely? "

Bulma sighed, " I suppose so. " she sat up and took the pillow with her, " Thanks Mirai. " she smiled at him.

" -beep-beep-beep-. "

Bulma and Mirai looked down at the control panel. The one that read the readout of how likely the possible-future

was to occur had dropped from 50% down to 40%. Bulma's eyes widened, " We just shrunk the possibility of that future

happening by you putting that pillow in my way? "

" That's weird. " Mirai cocked an eyebrow.

Bulma suddenly gasped.

/dl

:::" PLEASE just, take care of yourself, oh-kay! "

" Vegeta-- " Bulma started, concerned.

" --listen I know what you're going to say you're going to say you already do, but its just that, with all the

constant meetings and inventions and all the traveling you do with your work at Capsule Corp it'll become too much for your

mind to handle after a while and... "

She frowned, then gave the little ouji a hug, " Vegeta I'm sorry. " she said, then smiled, " I'll cut down a little

on my work load if it'll make you feel better. Don't get worked up over it. ":::

/dl

" Take care of myself... " she said in a faraway voice, ::He didn't mean a certain point in time like this though.

Vegeta acted as though me getting so overworked by things that will happen in the future will cause something horrible to

happen to me. If it were just this incident right now he wouldn't have been nearly as choked up as he got:: " He wants me to

take better care of myself. " Bulma smiled softly, ::Of course I will, Vegeta. If me overworking myself later in life is a

part of what caused you to do what you did, then I'll cut back:: " Alright Mirai. Let's move through this one step at a

time. " she said to him, " At a normal pace, patiently. "

Mirai smiled back, " Thanks Mom. "

/dl

Another possible-Future....

:::" Hahaha, oh Goku-san. " Chi-Chi laughed, " I love it here. "

Goku and Chi-Chi, now both 90, sat on a blanket on a field out near their home on Mt.Paozu. Goku looked unchanged,

like his body had completely stopped aging sometime during his 20's. The saiyajin didn't have a wrinkle on him.

Chi-Chi on the other hand did have quite a few wrinkles, but looked healthy and young for her age, despite her gray

hair, pulled up in a bun. Her bangs were pulled up as well except for a few stray strands that fell over her forhead. She had

made it a point to keep in shape and both her and Goku were satisfied with the results.

Chi-Chi pulled something out of one of the picnic baskets they had brought, " Sandwich? " she smiled, offering it to

him.

" HOORAY! " Goku cheered, " Thank u Chi-chan! OH BOY! And its fish too! " he took a big bite.

Chi-Chi took out a sandwich of her own and started to eat as well.

" It is a shame Gohan and Goten couldn't make it though. It would've been great to have a family-picnic! " Goku

said happily between bites.

" Well Gohan's busy with his professional duties and Goten promised his wife he'd take her to that new mall opening

in WestCity this weekend. " Chi-Chi explained, " He asked me if you and I would like to go along with them, but I said no. "

" Why? " Goku tilted his head, confused.

Chi-Chi laughed, " Oh come on Goku-san, how many times have you stepped foot in a mall to begin with. Besides, I

enjoy being out here with you much better than in a crowded building anyway. "

" Aww, thank u Chi-chan, that is so very nice of you! " Goku gushed happily.

" Yes, my sentiments exactly. "

" ... "

Goku and Chi-Chi blinked, then looked over to see Vegeta sitting between them eating one of the sandwiches from

the basket. They both sweatdropped.

" You're incorrigible, ya know that Ouji? " Chi-Chi smirked at him.

" And you're still a rather good sandwich-maker, considering your age. " Vegeta remarked, " Say Kakarrotto, any

mayo in here? " he lifted up the top to another basket.

" Here u go little Veggie! " Goku chirped, holding it out.

" Ahh, WONDERFUL! " Vegeta grinned, taking it and squirting it all over his sandwich.

Chi-Chi squnched her nose, " Oh GOD, Ouji that is disgusting! "

" Hah! Onna you could not begin to comprehend the sheer magnitude of the saiyajin palette. " Vegeta boasted, then

took a huge bite. Chi-Chi shuddered in disgust.

" Heehee, so Veggie what'cha doin here? " Goku asked sweetly, patting the little ouji on the head.

Vegeta's cheeks flushed red, " Actually I was bored. Everyone was busy doing something else that didn't involve me. "

" Aw, the Ouji was lonely. " Chi-Chi chuckled.

" I was not! " Vegeta protested.

Goku reached over and wrapped the smaller saiyajin in a big hug, " Aww, I am sorry you were feeling all a-lone little

Veggie! " he snuggled the ouji closer.

" Eep! " Vegeta let out a squeak.

Goku let go and set Vegeta back down, " But I'm happy that you're here! A picnic with me and my two favorite people

in the world EVER! " he exclaimed happily and fell onto his back, wagging his tail. Goku sighed with content.

Though the Kaka-War had never offically ended, the two sides had reached some sort of mutual agreement on a certain

level. There were still minor battles from time to time though, but for the most part Chi-Chi and Vegeta had tolerated each

other lately. When Chi-Chi had reached her 87th birthday she and Vegeta were positive they'd beat the system. After all,

the headstone Chi-Chi had seen when she'd first traveled to that horrible future said that she had died at 86. She hadn't

been 86 in 4 years and was still alive and kicking. Vegeta was positive now that he wouldn't end up with a Kaka-disease and

that Goku wouldn't end up as his saiyajin no oujo--a very nonplatonic title to say the least.

Goku sat up. Yes, he was VERY happy. Being able to have fun with his two favorite people at the same time, and not a

single argument between them. Yes, it was wonderful, " Hey little Veggie! " Goku said happily, " Can you pass me some yummy

cookies? "

Vegeta smirked at him, " Of course, my sweet Kaka-muffin. " he whipped out several cookies and tossed them to Goku,

who giggled at the little ouji.

" Thank u Veggie——! "

" Anytime, Kakarrotto. ":::

/dl

" You really should go over there. "

" I'd rather wait for him to, you know, stabilize first. " Vegeta said uneasily, taking a sip of his pepsi.

Bura, who now looked exactly like the spitting image of the present-day Bulma who was currently working with Mirai on

the time machine, sighed and sat down at the table with him, " Honestly Toussan you can't just wait around for Kakarroujo to

come up to the front door one day instantly better and acting as if nothing's happened! "

" That's just the point. " he hushed his voice down to a whisper, " He's acting as if nothing's happened. I've been

tracking that sagging ki of his everyday for the past 2 weeks--out of platonic concern you know--and he's going about his

daily business as if Onna's still alive! He wakes up, fishes, and sits at the kitchen table waiting for a breakfast that no

one's around to cook for him!!! Frankly if anyone's going to be the first to go down there to check on Kakarrotto it's going

to be anyone BUT me! I, symbolize too many big emotional issues to Kakarrotto to have him deal with me right now. He'd flood

over! "

A week after the picnic Chi-Chi had passed away in her sleep. And ironically Goku had been the first to find her the

following morning, resulting in a very large shock. There had been a funeral, a burial, people left flowers, took their turns

talking about her, but for the most part thought Goku would be oh-kay if only for the reason that he seemed unaffected when

he himself had been dead those 7 years and Chi-Chi had been left without him.

" Ya know, I actually think I miss taunting Onna. " Vegeta sighed, leaning his elbows on the table, " NOW who is left

on this planet for me to match wits against? "

" Maybe you could get Piccolo to talk to Kakarroujo, Toussan. " Bura thought, sitting back in her chair, " Gohan and

Goten are still distraught, and he does seem to be the calmest of all of us during these types of situations. "

" Piccolo would think I was up to something if I asked him! " Vegeta sweatdropped.

" What about you 'n Kakarroujo's lil fusion-babies? " she smiled.

" I would, but I'm not exactly sure where they are right now. " Vegeta scratched his head, " Wherever they are

they've been certainly busy doing SOMETHING! "

" VEGETA! " a voice called from downstairs, " I want you to come look at this! "

" I'll be right back. " the ouji got up out of his seat and walked over to the lab door. He opened it and stepped

onto the escalator that now lead down to the lab. Bulma had gotten too old to use the stairs and had installed a mall

escalator inplace of them so she could more safely access the lab.

" So! Whadda ya think? " Bulma, 94, said excitedly as she sat in the seat of the time machine.

" ? " Vegeta just cocked an eyebrow, confused.

" Oh come up here. " Bulma motioned to him. The little ouji flew up towards her and hovered nearby. There was a new

component in the control panel to the time machine.

" What is it? "

" This, Vegeta, is a "Time Machine Radar". It allows you to view where on the other timelines the other time machines

are. " she explained.

" Huh. "

" You know, incase we needed help from one of them or needed to contact them we could do it through use of this

device. "

" It's a little vague though, isn't it? " Vegeta noticed there was no exact way to tell how many years were going

across the lines.

" Well you know how my eyes have been getting lately. " Bulma sighed, pointing to her glasses which now held almost

the same thickness in glass as her father's once had, " There's no way to fit in the numbers and have me be able to read

them unless I made the device bigger and there would be no point in that. Besides it barely fits in with the other controls

NOW. "

Vegeta didn't have the heart to tell her he could easily read it had she placed the numbers in. He vaguely wondered

if there had ever been saiyajins with glasses back on Bejito-sei only to be shook out of his thoughts by a strange beeping

noise, " Is, that good, or bad? " he sweatdropped, pointing to it.

" Oh that means that another time machine is getting closer towards our time. " Bulma nodded contently.

" -FWOOSH-!! " a burst of bright light came from upstairs in the kitchen. Vegeta whipped around and dashed up the

stairs to see a dizzy Vejitto and Gogeta sitting in the machine.

" Like that! " Bulma called from downstairs.

Vejitto opened the hatch to the time machine and hopped out, Gogeta slowly following him, feeling even dizzier.

Gogeta shook his head clear than gasped to see what looked like Bulma and Vegeta, " YAY!!! WE ARE HOME!! "

Vejitto grinned. They both instantly zipped over to Bura, " Oh Bulma-san! Please forgive us for accidentally

hijacking your lovely time machine! " he and Gogeta nodded.

" We are so sorry and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not punish us and take away the gravity room be-cause we luv to spar

in there SO! " Gogeta added.

Bura sweatdropped.

" Haha, they think you're your mother. " Vegeta chuckled.

" Hmm? " both fusions looked up. Their eyes widened at the sight of the little ouji.

" TOUSSAN!! "

" MOMMY!! "

The two saiyajins latched onto each of Vegeta's arms.

" Oh Mommy! We missed you so much we tried so very hard to get back home! " Vejitto exclaimed.

" Yeah first we got stuck in a place where Bulma-san had a really huge perm and then we got stuck in a place where

Kaasan was a chibi and you were still in outer space but now we are so happy to see you again!! " Gogeta sniffled, tears

running down his cheeks. He looked at the ouji and perked up, " Hey! Where'd you get the black tank-top and baggy blue pants?

I have never seen those on you before! " Gogeta chirped.

" Mommy feels even stronger than before too! " Vejitto happily added as the let go.

" That's because you've made another little mistake. " Vegeta sweatdropped.

The fusions looked worried, " We did? " Gogeta said.

" Yeah, umm, let's see what'll I ask... " the ouji thought outloud, " Ahh! Vejitto, Gogeta, how old are you? "

Vejitto grinned and held up two fingers, " We will be two whole years old next month, Mommy! "

" Can you bake us a cake with lots and lots of yummy icing! " Gogeta gushed.

" I would, but you see you're too far into the future. Here, next month you'll both be 51. " Vegeta said simply.

" !!! " both Vejitto and Gogeta's eyes widened 5 times over.

" 51!! BUT THAT IS, THAT IS OVER HALF A CENTURY!!! " Gogeta gasped.

" Yes, and ironically due to your super-slow saiyajin aging genes, you both look exactly the same. " Vegeta said,

then pointed over to his right, " And that woman over there isn't Bulma, it's Bura. "

" GAK!? THAT'S BURA?! " Vejitto said in shock, " BUT, but, she looks just like Bulma!!! "

" Yes, I know. " Bura sweatdropped.

" But if Bura looks like BULMA, then what does BULMA look like? " Vejitto paled.

" Bunni? " Gogeta offered, smiling.

Vejitto sweatdropped.

" Bulma's 94. " Vegeta said, " She's downstairs working on something for the time machine. I am 95, Kakarrotto is

90, and Onna is, ah, WAS 90, but she passed away 2 weeks ago. "

" WOW! We really DO age slowly. " Vejitto said, poking at Vegeta, " Mommy you do not look a day older than you look

in the present...ya know, with the exception that you changed your clothes. "

" This my most recent training uniform, though I still switch off and on between this one and the navy one you're

referring to. " Vegeta tugged at his shirt.

" So we're, 49 years in the future? " Gogeta scratched his head.

" At least we're closer than we were last time. " Vejitto sweatdropped.

" Aww, do not be sad Jitto, at least you tried. " Gogeta patted him on the back. Vejitto slumped, " WAITAMINUTE! " he

instantly zipped over to Vegeta. Vejitto nearly fell over, " Did you just say that Onna is DEAD? "

" Hai... " Vegeta sweatdropped. He frowned, " Kakarrotto's all alone now. Though he was a little mentally unstable at

first so I've been nervous about going to see him until he calms down. Onna herself took at least 2 weeks or so before she

calmed down after Kakarrotto was killed by Cell, so I think I may try going to see him later. "

" Aww, poor Toussan all alone like that... " Vejitto pouted, feeling bad for him, " Hey! Mommy, do you think Bulma

could help us get back to the present? Well, OUR present. " he motioned between Gogeta and himself.

" You could give it a try. " Vegeta shrugged, heading back towards the lab, the fusions following him, " Though I

warn you, she's had many cosmetic surgeries and her eyes are starting to go--in other words she's not as young as she used to

be--so don't gawk or make any kaka-esque jokes, alright? "

" Alright Mommy! "

" Alright Toussan! " they both chirped in unison, then followed down.

Gogeta grinned as they went down without moving, " Ooh, esce-lator. "

Confused. That was pretty much his current emotional state. He had passed shock, terror, sadness, depression,

and hallucinations all within the first week. Goku missed Chi-Chi sorely but now he pretty much felt back to normal, with the

exception of a humongous amount of confusion hanging over him. The large saiyajin sat back on the chair just outside the

house, a bag of fish chips in his hands.

" So, what do I do now? " Goku blinked, looking off into the distance.

::We could forget the chips and actually GO fishing:: his tail, Bibishii, suggested.

" I dunno, I already went today. "

::But it's SO HOT outside!::

" ... "

:: ... ::

" OOH! We could go buy a fan to keep cool! " Goku chirped.

::Do you know where Chi-Chi kept the money?:: Bibishii asked hopefully.

" ... " Goku pouted, " No. "

::You could go LOOK for the money:: his tail persisted, perspirating quite rapidly.

" Oh NO Bibishii, I am SCARED to go in there! " Goku gasped, motioning to one side of the house, " I know Chi-chan

kept the money in her room but I'm afraid to go in her room because, well, I am! " he sputtered.

::What if we go in there REAL FAST and then come out REAL FAST so we could go to the store and buy a fan that spins,

REAL FAST::

" Fast is good... " Goku looked back at the door, " And, and I don't think Chi-chan would be haunting her room or

anything. Enma and Kaio-sama are probably taking care of her, they both like Chi-chan.....then why hasn't she contacted me

yet? I worry a-bout Chi-chan SO! "

::You didn't contact her right away after Cell killed you, or even when Piccolo did::

" Bibishii has a point... " Goku trailed off. He lept to his feet, " OH-KAY! I will go into Chi-chan's room and get

that wallet that has some money in it to buy a fan! And maybe some icecream! " he wagged his tail.

::Ice-cream!:: the tail cheered.

And with that, Goku zipped inside.

/dl

" Chi-chan's room. " Goku said, poking his head inside. He nervously stepped in, scanning the room for anyplace a

wallet may be. The large saiyajin spotted Chi-Chi's handbag sitting on the floor, " O! Chi-chan's handbag! She keeps her

wallet in there! I've seen her take it out of here many times! " he opened the zippered compartment and pulled out both a

wallet and a checkbook, " HOORAY! " he cheered, then paused and pouted, his eyes watered, " Chi-chaaa——n. How I hate being

all alone without anybody else... "

Bibishii sweatdropped.

Goku rubbed his eyes, " You know, people-anybody. "

The tail sighed.

Goku took a last look around before heading back out, then noticed a large black book sitting at his feet, " OHH! I

know what this is! " he picked it up, " This is where Chi-chan wrote out all the rules for me to follow when I was first

memorizing 'um! " on the cover of the book read in big gold letters--"THE RULES", " Huh.. " he flipped through the pages

when and idea suddenly hit him. The large saiyajin gasped in fright and dropped the book, backing up, " Oh no.... " he backed

against the wall, ::If Chi-chan is gone....then, then..::

Do you, Son Goku...

::Does that mean...::

take Chi-Chi Gyu-Mao

::...that all of Chi-chan's rules...::

to honor and obey

::...no longer...::

to love and to cherish

::...apply...::

til death do you part

::...to me?::

Goku gulped, feeling unbelievably nervous and even more confused, " Veggie....VEGGIE!!! VEGGIE HELP!!! "

/dl

" YEOW! " Vegeta slapped his hand over his right hear which had suddenly started ringing in pain. Vejitto and Gogeta

turned to him, confused. They were halfway down the escelator.

" Mommy--? "

Vegeta sweatdropped at his ear and rubbed it, " Oh boy... "

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

END OF PART THREE!

Gogeta: (toots a little horn) =TOO——T=!!

Chuquita: HI! (sweatdrops) Sorry for getting a little off-track near the end there, I was trying to semi-establish this 2nd

possible future; but I couldn't get as deep into it as I want cuz, let's face it, this is Jitto & Goggie's fic, not

Future-Goku's.

Goku: Chi-chan passing a-way did seem kinda rushed.

Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Well, maybe if I ever do a fic about possible-futures I'll give the version of this point in time I

wanted to do.

Vegeta: (grins evilly) Did I get to speak at Onna's funeral?

Chuquita: Unfortunately for Chi-Chi, yes.

Vegeta: HA! (smirks) I enjoyed the bit of Kaka-panic near the end.

Chuquita: (sweatdrops) That part sorta randomly came to me. (perks up) On the plus side I finished my school semester today!

Vejitto: (toots another horn) =TOO——T=!!

Chuquita: And that is a good thing.

Goku: (chirps) It's also nice 'n warm outside!

Vegeta: (looks over and sweatdrops to see Son wearing shades)

Goku: HEE—— Songlasses! Get it! (points to them)

Vegeta: ... '';;

Chuquita: I was very happy with how Jitto and Goggie's battle came out! I had also just read db manga #15 before typing that

part so it may have been influenced by that...

Gogeta: HEEYAH! (strikes a defensive pose) (grins) Haha——

Chuquita: And now for the reviewer-replies!

To Nuki: If I hadn't had to work on my final work for the semester all-yesterday, then yes I would've had it done 'n up for

Monday. =nods=. But that's oh-kay cuz its up for today! :D Luckily thanks to Bulma's machine Jitto and Goggie haven't messed

up the timeline.

To Carie: Thanks so much!! Heh, chibi Goku's so naive.

To Hakura: LOL! I wouldn't be surprised. At least in GT she got GT-Veggie to remove that mustache. Yes the arm-bite is the

one Goku will give the possessed Veggie in episode 29. There's quite a few things that cause that possible future besides

the arm-bite, but it is part of it :) Veggie wasn't really paying attention, heehee, he would've been twitching had he heard

though.

To gunlord: Since the fusions are still unaware that Bulma's new invention is keeping them from messing up the timeline,

they decided not to go to the finals; if for anything that they could win it so easily that it would largely alter the

future. They haven't really altered anything.

To Nekoni: Thanks so much! Hai, poor chibi Goku got so confused I can't wait to write the parody to that ep either!

Hopefully I'll get to my Bebi-eps parody soon...

To SupersayainkingTommy: Aw thanks! Don't worry the fusions explained who they were to Goku.

To BlackDragonFury: Heehee, ironic huh? I hope I did good on my final too. I haven't gotten my grade on it back yet. We're

supposed to have them sent to us through the mail. I'm almost done with "Lemonade". Goku & Brolli do have a fight near the

end concerning Veggie and the lemonade :)

To Rissa of the Saiya-Jin: I was basing the bite on something that happens in ep 29 of gt, though the version of it that

aired on Toonami had that part cut out. Thanks! I think I did pretty well on the final. Goodluck! Mirai just pushed the

possibility of that possible-future from happening down to 40% by him saving Bulma from smashing her head on the controls.

The 60% contains a lot of different futures. Ooh! I haven't seen Secret Window yet, my sister saw it though, and a looong

while ago I read the story-version of it--though I forget the ending ;; Ohh, that was such a sad episode with Veggie

dying. Thank God Toriyama let him come back!

Vegeta: (grinning) I AM indestructable, ya know.

Vejitto: That u are, Mommy!

Chuquita: (sweatdrops)

To Goddess Shimi: Goten's "What-would-happen-if's", heehee. An animated movie where Veggie is wearing THAT!? OO =stares,

shocked and confused= I've heard of Veggie wearing boxers and briefs before, but a THONG?!

Vegeta: (twitching, green) That's, so wrong....so very, very WRONG.....(anger) WHO DECIDED ON THAT WARDROBE DECISION!?

Goku: (scratches his head) Veggie what is a thong?

Vegeta: (flustered) THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!

Chuquita: (random trivia) Originally they were something you'd wear on your feet. You'd wrap the loop on your middle-toe

and the bigger loop around your ankle. Like wearing only the top half of a sandal. They sell them at the mall near the

flip-flops and summer-accessories section.

Vegeta: ...umm, yes. (turns to Goku) That type of thong.

Goku: Really?

Vegeta: (snaps) YESREALLY! NEXTEMAIL!

Chuquita: (sweatdrops)

To Maria S.: YAY! Goodluck on the manga-doodle! Happy your scanner is fixed!

To Carrie2sky: Cool! I'll take a look at it later after I finish this!

To mkh2: Aw, so sorry 'bout your book! LOL! Yeah, if it had been Bura she would've gone a different route. And I don't think

Bulma'd be willing to jump backwards through that open window several stories up the way Chi-Chi had.

To DBZsaiyan: Haha, I should try to draw that scene with Bunni and Veggie. Ooh, question for Veggie.

Vegeta: To be blunt, they scare me. They really and truely do. Infact the only redeeming part of that possible-future is that

they've managed to wish back Bejito-sei and all its inhabitants. And I SEEM to be incharge of the situation, though you

cannot tell for sure when Kaka-germs in such large doses are involved.

To venum: Hai, it was indeed a little frightening. Thanks!

Vegeta: (sips the pepsi) Ahhh, soda...and the sweet, sweet caffeine within.

To RyukoVulpix: Thanks so much! Yes, Pan is still alive in the possible future and Goku JR and Veggie JR do exist there. I'm

not sure if they'll appear before it, but I do plan on doing a fic-parody of the last episode where they fight each other in

the Budoukai and Goku's there to watch it. I actually think I planned on having them make a brief appearance in "Veggie

Wins!" but I have no idea what happened to that. Heh, don't worry the timelines even have me a lil confused sometimes. Yeah,

Goggie and Jitto are fun to work with!

Chuquita: And part 3 comes to an end.

Gogeta: Heehee, 2 more jumps to go! 1 to the past and then the one back home!

Vejitto: Goggie is correct! :)

Chuquita: (waves) See you sometime next week with part 4! Bye!

Goku: BYEBYE!

Vegeta: (still drinking his soda) Mmph-mmph.
