Quote of the Week: -from #dbz 124 "I'll Surpass you Goku!! The Warrior Race Saiyajin's King!"

°Scene switches to Capsule Corp, where Vegeta lies unconscious in a bed. Bulma and her parents are watching him°

{Briefs:} After that big explosion, it's impressive that he got away with so few wounds. Those Saiyajin are impressive.

{Mrs Briefs:} Poor Vegeta.

{Vegeta:} Ka...karotto...

{Vegeta:} I'll surpass you!...I'll surpass you!...I will!

°Vegeta dreams he is running through darkness. He sees Goku up ahead, but no matter how fast he runs, he can't catch up°

{Vegeta:} Kakarotto!

°He tries to attack Goku but misses. He turns to see Trunks°

{Vegeta:} You...you are...

°He charges at Trunks, but can't hit him. Goku and Trunks reappear in front of him, side by side. They go SSJ. Vegeta gets

angry and frustrated and powers up, but they power up more°

{Vegeta:} Why?

°Goku and Trunks recede into the distance and vanish°

{Vegeta:} Why?...Why can't I reach them?

{Vegeta:} WHY!!?

{Vegeta:} Why...?

{King:} You're the best of the Saiya-jin, and you will become their king.

°He sees an image of his father, and flashes back to a scene of them together°

{King:} As soon as we Saiyajin are born, our fighting strength is tested. Low powered Saiyajin are sent to planets without

very good opponents.

{Young Vegeta:} What garbage!

{King:} Prince, when you were born your fighting strength placed in the super elite. I know that you will become the best

Saiyajin in the universe. There's even a chance you could become the legendary Super Saiyajin.

{Vegeta:} [Thinking] That's right! I'm super elite. There's no way I could be worse than a low class Saiyajin like Kakarotto.

{Vegeta:} I'm the best Saiyajin in the universe!!

°Vegeta wakes up. He turns his head and sees Bulma asleep at the desk next to the bed°

Chuey's Corner:

Chuquita: I luv Veggie's dream-world—— °grins°

Goku: Aww, Veggie's Toussan has such faith in him and luvs Veggie so much!

Vegeta: (grins) Both my parents do.

Chuquita: Welcome to part 4 everybody!

Gogeta: WOOT! (pumps fists in the air)

Chuquita: I've seen the videoclip of this scene in japanese, the music's GREAT! Almost like Veggie's got an entire orchestra

in his head.

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Was that a compliment or an insult.

Goku: (chrips) We should get to look at Veggie's dreams more often!

Chuquita: Hai! They're just chock-full of bizarre scene-changes, symbolism, and lack of background scenery. Not to mention

the swirly twilight-zoneish thing where he's running towards you was funny!

Goku: Haha! Yeah! Veggie flew right through me!

Vegeta: ...

Goku: (thinks) Earlier in the show there used to be lots of times where the audiance would see into my head like they did

with Veggie.

Vegeta: (twitches) I'd rather keep the contents of my head a SECRET, thanks.

Vejitto: Yeah, be-sides, Goggie and I already know what's in Mommy's head!

Gogeta: That we do! :)

Vegeta: (freezes in place) (laughs nervously) But ah, you wouldn't tell, Kakarrotto, now would you?

Goku: (puts a hand on Veggie's head, leans over towards the fusions) Is it a-bout me?

Vejitto: (happily) Oh there's LOTS of stuff about YOU, Toussan! (points to his head)

Vegeta: (cheeks start turning read with embarassment)

Gogeta: So much infact that it is mind-blowing!

Goku: (eyes widen) Realllllllllllly? (grins) Its it nice stuff!

Vejitto: It depends on how you take it.

Goku: Oh.

Vegeta: Trust me Kakarrotto, you really, don't want to know.

Goku: (pouts) But why not? I like Veggie's lil Veggie-head and I am sure I would enjoy the contents within.

Vegeta: ...you talk like I'm a sandwich.

Goku: (happily) I do like sandwiches, little Veggie!

Chuquita: Would that make the insides of Veggie's head the Veggie-version of peanut-butter and jelly? Or ham and mayo?

Gogeta: OR jelly and cheese!

Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Please, I only vaguely remember what that tastes like.

Goku: (blinks) You mean the inside of Veggie's head is full of meats and cheeses? (peers inside Veggie's ear)

Vegeta: (turns redder) Kaka...rrotto...

Goku: Hello in there Veggie-meats!

Vegeta: Don't do that!! What if you breathe some spit into my ear! That spit would most likely contain kaka-germs and they

would take over my entire body and create vastly large kaka-germ cities upon my brain!!!

Goku: (tilts his head) But what is wrong with that?

Vegeta: EVERYTHING!!!

Goku: ... (blinks)

Chuquita: Anyways, its off to Part 4 we go!

Gogeta: HOO-RAH!

Vejitto: (confused) Will this be the last chapter?

Chuquita: I'm not sure. It may, but you guys (and Veggie) still have one more jump through time and space after this one.

Vejitto: (grins) Be-cause I would like a part 5.

Chuquita: We'll see.

/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?

" Kakarrotto's in trouble! " Vegeta looked off into the distance as the escelator continued to carry the trio of

saiyajins down. He grabbed both fusions, " Come! We have to go save him! "

" But Mommy what about Bulma and the time-machine and-- "

" --that doesn't matter now. " Vegeta narrowed his eyes, " What matters is saving Kakarrotto from losing his mind! "

he said determindly, then prepared to teleport, " AWAY!! "

" WHEE-- " Gogeta cheered as they disappeared out of sight.

" Hello? Anyone there? " Bulma looked up the stairway, " Vegeta? "

/dl

" Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy... " Goku nervously sat on the floor pinned up against the wall, ::If Chi-chan is

no longer alive then does that mean Chi-chan's rules no longer count and if Chi-chan's rules no longer count does that mean

all the naughty thoughts are no longer naughty and if they are no longer naughty does that mean I can freely act upon them

without fearing the consequences but what if the consequences are even more terrible than what Chi-chan's would be to me

disobeying one of them and what would Veggie think of all this!!!:: he mentally panicked, " AND WHY AM I TALKING TO MYSELF! "

::It's oh-kay! I'm here! Talk to me!:: his tail tried to comfort him by patting Goku on the shoulder.

" Oh-kay, thank u Bibishii. " Goku smiled over at her.

" KAKARROTTO! " Vegeta suddenly appeared infront of him along with the fusions.

Goku let up, " MYVEGGIE!! " he lept at the little ouji and glomped him tightly, " MMMMMmmmmm———— "

" ... " Vegeta's cheeks heated up to a bright red color.

" MMMmmmm——— "

" ... "

" MMMmmmm——— " the larger saiyajin held tighter and started to rub Vegeta's back.

10 minutes passed...

::Oh dear GOD, why is he TAKING so long!!!:: Vegeta gulped, still being hugged closely and getting his back rubbed.

Vejitto and Gogeta had settled down in a corner of the room and were now playing 'Go Fish' with a deck of, ironically,

fish-decorated playing cards.

" MMMmmmm——— "

" Ah, Kakarrotto? " Vegeta squeaked out, " Why are you taking so long? You never really hugged me for longer than 2

or 3 minutes at the most? "

" It's rule number 8 Veggie, "Never hug Veggies for more than 3 minutes at a time.". But, but the rules don't matter

anymore cuz Chi-chan is gone. " Goku explained.

Vegeta's eyes widened, " OH. " he said, then promptly pushed himself out of the hug, whipped out a spray-can of

Peasant-Repel Version 2.0, and sprayed all over his body, " Ah, ah haha. Yes. The "rules". " he put the can away, " So,

you've decided to break free of Onna's rules once and for all, eh? " he smirked.

" After how much better THAT Veggie-hug made me feel YES I AM!! " Goku beamed happily.

" You're, not planning to give me 10-minute-long hugs like that from now on, are you? " Vegeta asked nervously.

" Not really. " Goku tilted his head, confused.

" GOOD. " Vegeta said bluntly, then noticed something on the floor and picked it up a big black book, " What's this?"

" That is all of Chi-chan's rules for me! Written down especially for my memor--memorilization a loooong time a-go,

just after Veggie and Chi-chan started to fight each other! " Goku chirped happily.

" Hmm. " Vegeta said, intregued. He smirked, " You know I never really DID get to see exactly what Onna forbade you

to do...waitaminute, how come you're content and kaka-like again all of a sudden? You were moping all of last week! "

" Oh, when I get sad, it never lasts very long. " Goku shook his head, " I do not know why. OH! AND I felt a lot

better when I remembered that Chi-chan could communicate with me by talking through Kaio-sama! I've been waiting for her to

call, I was ac-tually thinking of maybe teleporting to wherever Kaio-sama is and seeing if he knows where she is. "

" Yeah well with how well Enma treated her the last time I'm sure Onna easily got into heaven. " Vegeta grumbled.

" Aww, little Veggie is sad cuz Enma doesn't like him? "

" Not sad, just annoyed. " Vegeta snorted, " You shouldn't play favorites if you have a job of THAT type of

importance. "

" Well I like Veggie, and if anybody tries to EVER hurt Veggie I would hurt them back 10-fold and then make them

say they are sorry and a-pologize to little Veggie for hurting him! " Goku nodded thoughtfully.

The ouji smirked, " Why thank you, Kakarrotto. " he held the rule-book closer to himself, plotting to read through

it later when Goku couldn't see him doing so, " Say, are you still planning on living in this little Kaka-hut of yours? You

could always come and live with me—— "

" You mean live in the same bedroom as my little Veggie——— " Goku gushed, his eyes wide and sparkling.

" WAHHH! NO NO NO! NO SHARING BEDROOMS!! I mean, live at a room somewhere in Capsule Corp. " Vegeta regained his

ground.

" Oh. " Goku pouted, them smiled, " No thank u! "

" WHAT?! WHY NOT! " the ouji blurted out.

" Well, cuz this is still my home, Veggie. Just cuz Chi-chan is gone and Gohan and Goten live somewhere else does not

mean I am going to leave my bea-yuu-ti-ful home how here on Mount Paozu! This is where I grew up and this is where all the

yummy giant fishes live and I like Veggie's home but it's so much more peaceful and warm up here. " he grinned.

" Oh.. " the ouji looked disappointed, " Well I guess I see where you're going with that... "

" --would little Veggie like to come up here and live with me? " the larger saiyajin gushed excitedly.

Vegeta instantly saw visions of himself wearing a little blue gi and being given 10-minute-long hugs every morning

and night" --ACK!? NO WAY!! I'M-PERFECTLY-FINE-WHERE-I-LIVE-RIGHT-NOW!!! " he waved his arms in the air, terrified, " Besides

, Bulma needs me. "

" Oh.. " Goku looked as disappointed as Vegeta had several seconds ago, " I su-ppose Veggie DOES need to take care of

Bulma. "

" Of course I do! " Vegeta nodded and let out a small snort, " Her vision is going, and she needs help getting up

stairs, and she trusts me to help her when she needs to dye hair. And who else is going to read the fine print on the mail or

read the newspaper for her? Trunks and Bura have jobs! Trunks with Capsule Corp and Bura with that, expensive beauty-clinic

slash designer-gowns store she built and directs! "

" What about Mirai? " Goku asked.

" Mirai went home to attend to HIS timeline's Bulma a while ago, remember? "

" OH YEAH! " Goku perked up, " What about V.2? "

Vegeta sighed, " Bura's suckered him into helping her; again. "

" Oh. " Goku said, then sweatdropped, " Poor V.2, Bura has probably gotten him to work super-hard. "

" Yeah, she's sneaky alright.. " Vegeta trailed off, " Maybe it WOULD be better if you kept living here afterall,

she'd try to manipulate your Kaka-mind. That's what happened in the "possible-future" didn't it? "

" I would not know. "

" Would you at least care to come back with me, temporarily, to my house to help Vejitto and Gogeta get back to the

present? "

" GO FISH! " Gogeta suddenly chirped in the background.

Goku gasped, " You mean that Goggie and Ji-chan are not OUR Goggie and Ji-chan? " he said, then paused, sensing a

much more powerful Vejitto and Gogeta at the supermarket, " Oh yeah! To-day is food-shopping-day at Veggie's house, huh! "

" Oh yeah that's where they are... " Vegeta trailed off, then lightly knocked himself on the side of the head, " Baka

saiyajin brain and its capacity to hold only so much information compared to the length of time its desired to operate. "

" Huh? " Goku tilted his head.

" My memory's messing with me. " Vegeta said flatly.

" OH! " Goku replied, enlightened.

" They've been handling the food-shopping in my place since Bulma's.....14th cosmetic operation, I think. " he said,

" I really don't think she needs them though, Onna never had a cosmetic operation and she aged gracefully, for a human

anyway. " he shrugged, " Vejitto! Gogeta! We're going back to the lab now! " Vegeta grabbed ahold Goku's light blue gi top.

" HOORAY! " Vejitto cheered, " I WIN! " he held up a card.

" Ohhhh. " Gogeta pouted at the card. Both got up and zipped over to Vegeta.

" Off we go. " Vegeta smirked and promptly teleported the group out of sight.

/dl

" Ohhh, where AM I? " Chi-Chi scratched her head, confused as she walked around what looked like a grassy field. She

looked down, " At least I have my legs this time! " she smiled, then kicked her feet against the ground a couple times and

continued on.

" Well its a good thing you do because you certainly earned them. "

Chi-Chi glanced up, then struck a defensive position, " Who's there!! "

" Why its me! Don't you recognize the voice at all? " a chubby blue man with sunglasses and antennae walked up to

her.

Chi-Chi blinked for a moment, the voice did sound familiar. She gasped, " Kaio-sama!! "

" In the flesh! " he grinned, then let out a snort, " Hahaha! Flesh! To answer your first question my dear, you're on

the Grand Kai planet, not to be confused with Kaioshin-Kai, the Holy Kai planet. "

" Oh. But, the last time I died I went to heaven, I mean, I think I did. " Chi-Chi folded her arms in thought.

" Indeed you did. Now if you'll just take a seat I'll explain everything to you. "

/dl

" And here we are! " Vegeta said as they reappeared on the floor in the lab.

" Hee—— I enjoy teleporting with Veggies! " Goku grinned.

Vejitto and Gogeta looked around. The lab, though set up exactly the same as it had been in the present, was now much

more high-tech. Vejitto noted that much of this new setup was for someone who may have trouble reaching things too high up

for them.

" I guess you two must be our time-travelers, huh? "

Vejitto and Gogeta looked over and gasped to see Bulma standing there. She was wearing her labcoat, very thick

glasses, had wrinkles that for the most part where hidden through surgery and makeup, and hair that looked exactly the same

as it had in the present. She smiled at them.

" Oh WOW! Bulma you good for your age, considering what your age is and the fact that I've never met a 94 year old

human before. " Vejitto said in awe.

" Yeah! E-specially your hair it looks good as new! " Gogeta walked over and gave it a tug.

" AHH! GOGETANO!! " Bulma shrieked.

" °EEP°!! " Gogeta looked to see what he had tugged off was a wig, " AHHHHHHHHHH!! " the fusion shrieked and

near-fainted.

" GOGGIE! " Vejitto dashed over and caught him before he fell. He took the wig and started to fan the younger fusion,

" Oh Goggie are you oh-kay! " he asked, worried.

" ... " Bulma stared at Vejitto lamely. It was then Vejitto noticed he had been fanning Gogeta with Bulma's hair. He

smiled cheesily at Bulma and handed it back over to her.

" Hahaha, I should've guessed it wasn't real for it to look that good with you so old--I mean--ah, sorry about that

comment too! " Vejitto sputtered. Bulma had her real hair put up in a small light-grayish-blue bun under the wig.

Bulma put her 'hair' back on her head.

" So, why-- "

" --do I wear a wig over my hair? " Bulma finished the question flatly.

" Yeah. " Vejitto said, trying to hoist the unconsious Gogeta back up on his feet.

" Well, you see Vejitto-- " Bulma trailed off and waited as the room suddenly went dark and a spotlight suddenly

flashed upon her. Vejitto blinked, " --during the end of my middle-age years my gorgeous hair started to fade from its

illustrious blue shine! SO I started to dye it, however the many dyes I used over the years and the small number of dyes to

choose from for someone with blue hair began to be too much for my once-goddess-like hair! It began to FALL OUT! Now I

couldn't let the newspapers and the rest of the media hear of this so I purchased several wigs. However, nobody sells BLUE

wigs that aren't cheap halloween editions--SO--I bought a bunch of blonde wigs of different styles and dye THEM blue instead

every couple months when they start to fade. " she proclaimed over-dramatically. The lights instantly went back to normal.

" But, it seems like such a fuss to make over your hair-- "

" --Vejitto, you can't possibly understand! From the day I met your father to the day he and Vegeta defeated Buu I

have had 32 different hairstyles ALONE! "

" WOW....that's, a lot of hairstyles. " Vejitto's eyes widened, " So what should I do with Goggie? " he motioned to

the unconsious saiyajin he was holding.

" Well, you could give him cpr, or you could prop him up somewhere until he regains consiousness on his own. " Bulma

shrugged.

Vejitto looked down at the younger fusion, " ...well, looks like you're own your own Goggie! " he chirped happily and

sat Gogeta down on one of the nearby chairs.

Bulma adjusted her hair some more, then looked over at the ouji, " Vegeta could you go get their time-machine

upstairs for me? "

" Hm? Oh! Yeah sure. " Vegeta said, then walked over to the escelator, pressed the button which changed its direction

, and jogged up the stairs.

" Heehee, my Veggie is so very resourceful! " Goku smiled warmly as he watched Vegeta jog off.

" So, Son-kun, how you feeling? " Bulma approached him cautiously.

" Oh I'm doing fine thanks! " Goku chirped.

" But, what about Chi-Chi, aren't you-- "

" --Chi-chan can communicate with me through Kaio-sama! Just like I used to communicate with her when I was dead! "

Goku said, " I am just waiting for her to contact me. I'm giving Chi-chan just 1 more day and if she doesn't then I'll go

teleport to where Kaio-sama as and go look for her be-cause it has already been 2 weeks and I am starting to get worried. "

he nodded, concerned.

" Oh....well, that's, nice... " Bulma trailed off.

" So, does it do any tricks? "

" !!! " Bulma froze. She looked over her shoulder and sweatdropped to see Gogeta back to consiousness and poking her

wig, " Hello Gogeta. " Bulma sweatdropped.

" Haha, I got so scared I thought that I had ripped your actual hair off your head Bulma-san! I know how much you

love your hair. " Gogeta laughed nervously, " But now that I know its just a wig I'm so relieved that it wasn't! "

" Ahh...could you please not poke it though? " Bulma asked uneasily.

" °WHIRRR°WHIRR°CLICK°! " a small laser-beam popped out of the top of the wig and aimed itself at Gogeta.

" Wow what you can't do with technology these days! " Gogeta started to poke the laser-beam instead, impressed.

An even larger sweatdrop appeared on Bulma's head.

" I'm back! " Vegeta announced, finished teleporting back into the lab next to Goku while holding the time machine

over his head. He sat it down on the floor.

" Ahh, wonderful! " Bulma clasped her hands together as the laser-beam disappeared back into her wig. She walked over

to the machine and tossed a capsule to the ground to reveal a step-stool. Vejitto and Gogeta watched as Bulma ever-so-slowly

ascended the 3 stairs.

" Poor Bulma-san. " Vejitto said, feeling bad for her.

" I would not like to be old, Jitto. " Gogeta paled.

" Now let's see here--OH! This IS an old version! " Bulma said as she peered into the time-machine, " Many of the

new additions I've added to it aren't even there! " she then noticed the part containing the blue powder and sighed with

relief, " Oh thank goodness. " Bulma looked over her shoulder, " You two could have been doing some serious damage if you

hadn't had this part! " she tapped the box and looked over at them.

" ... " the fusions stared at her blankly.

" Don't you know? This component keeps you from splitting off any additional timelines! Without it you could be

ripping a LOT more holes in the time-space continuum! " she explained.

" ...holes? " Vejitto blinked.

" OHHH! YOU MEAN WE COULD'VE GONE TO THE BUDOUKAI FINALS ANYWAY!! " Gogeta exclaimed disappointed, " OH man! That

would have been so much fun to fight Jitto in the finals! "

" Umm, there there? " Vejitto patted him on the shoulder, " Besides we still have the 27th Budoukai to look forward

to soon! "

" Oh yeah! That is right! " Gogeta perked up, " Now THAT will be a fun Tenkaichi Budoukai indeed! " he grinned.

" O! Do they still have Tenkaichi Budoukais here in the future? " Vejitto asked Goku and Vegeta.

" 'Course they do! " Goku chirped.

Vegeta nodded, then sweatdropped to see the larger saiyajin was now pressed up against his side. Vegeta looked over

at him.

" I like Veggie—— " Goku smiled warmly at him.

" Ah, haha. Ha. " Vegeta laughed nervously, then darted a couple feet away from Goku in the other direction. He

stared straight ahead and tried to ignore the stare from the larger saiyajin which was boreing into the side of his head.

Bulma looked out over the top of the time machine, " Umm, Son-kun? Are you oh-kay? "

" ... " Goku kept staring.

Vegeta shifted uncomfortably.

" SON-KUN? "

" --huh?! " Goku was suddenly jolted back to reality. The large saiyajin looked over at her, " Hai Bulma? "

" Are you oh-kay? "

" YES. " Goku said loudly.

Bulma folded her arms.

Goku sighed sadly, " No....since Chi-chan's rules are no longer active I am trying to very slowly release each one

cuz I know if I forget about all the rules at once then, I would want to do things... "

" Things.. " she cocked an eyebrow.

" ...with Veggie. " Goku said shyly, twiddling his thumbs while his cheeks grew pink.

" IthinkIllbegoingnow. " Vegeta said quickly and promptly dashed up the stairs.

" VEGGIE? " Goku called out, looking up after him, " VEH-GEE!! "

" Hn...I should've never gone to check on him in the first place. " Vegeta flushed red as he clenched his fist, his

back pressed up against the wall right next to the doorway to the lab.

" Toussan what are you doing? " Trunks asked as he walked by.

" Nothing. " Vegeta snorted.

Trunks shrugged and continued on.

Vegeta waited from him to get out of visual range, then peeked around the corner and sweatdropped to see Goku still

staring up at him from down on the lab floor. The ouji let out a yelp and whipped back around against the wall, " That is,

not good. Not good at all. " he paused, then realized he still had the big rule-book he had taken from Chi-Chi's room. The

ouji pulled it out and opened it up, " The Contents of this Book are for use Soley for Son Goku and if seen by the Ouji can

result in the maiming or severe hurting of the Ouji by the Author of this Book, Son Chi-Chi Gyu-Mao. " Vegeta read outloud.

He sweatdropped. The picture above the words had a younger Chi-Chi in a hairstyle he hadn't seen her in since they were

preparing to fight the androids, " Let's see, index. " he flipped to the back, " Index index index.... " Vegeta trailed his

finger down the page, then lit up when he saw what he was looking for, " Ah! "Staring"! Page 128. " he flipped the pages

back the other way, " Rule 104: You are not allowed to stare at the Ouji for prolonged periods of time, which range from

5 minutes to anytime longer. Staring at the Ouji for longer periods of time than necessary would result in the Ouji thinking

you have non-platonic desires for him, which you don't. HEY! "Non-platonic"'s MY word! " Vegeta snapped, annoyed. He paused

and thought for a moment, " Huh. " the ouji looked down the stairs leading to the still-staring Goku, " Hey Kakarrotto! You

don't have any "non-platonic desires for" me, do you! " he called downstairs.

" NO VEGGIE! " Goku called back up.

" GOOD! " Vegeta called in reply.

" °SLAM°! " the front door suddenly slammed open.

" Fire up the grill for we are home with lots of delicious treats!! " Future-Vejitto said happily as he and

Future-Gogeta burst into the room carrying bags of food in their arms.

" Did you just hear me talk? " the Vejitto downstairs in the lab said, confused.

" Oh that's just your present-day selves. They must've gotten back from the supermarket. " Bulma smiled and nodded

as she examined the time machine.

Gogeta gasped in surprise, " You mean us from the semi-future! " he suddenly grinned, " We have NEVER met ourselves

from the future, HAVE WE Jitto? "

" No we haven't! " Vejitto said, surprised.

" Can we go meet them? " Gogeta gushed.

" Oh-kay! " Vejitto said cheerfully and with that they raced up the stairs.

" Hey wait a second!! " Bulma waved after them frantically, " YOU SHOULD AT LEAST WARN THEM FIR---st. " she sighed

in defeat and sat back in her chair.

" °bum°bum°bum°bum°BUM°BUM°BUM°BUM°BUM°!! " the sound of feet running up the stars caused Vegeta to break out into a

nervous sweat. The ouji grabbed a nearby frying pan and held it up over his head like a weapon.

Just as the sound reached the top of the stairs Vegeta swung the pan forward.

" °POOMPH!° "

" ... " Vegeta blinked. He looked up to see the pan had hit Vejitto over the head and was now around the saiyajin's

neck, Vejitto himself looking unharmed.

" Mommy why did you hit me with a frying pan? " Vejitto asked.

" Uh, ah, I thought you were--nevermind. " Vegeta sweatdropped, yanking the pan back off Vejitto and setting it down,

" Is Kakarrotto still, ah, down there? "

" Yup! Still down there and still staring up here! " Gogeta said cheerfully, then waved down below, " HI KAASAN!! "

Vegeta gulped, then froze when he saw Goku no longer at the bottom of the stairs, " Wha---?! " he backed up into a

warm squishy mass and let out a yelp. Vegeta nervously looked up to see Goku now standing behind him staring downward, " Oh

GOD that is so abnormal for you. " he winced at the intensity of the stare from the larger saiyajin.

" Veggie... " Goku stepped closer, " Help me Veggie.. "

" With what? " the ouji asked, starting to get concerned.

" OOP! " Goku instantly slapped his hands over his mouth and jumped back away from him, embarassed.

" ... " Vegeta just stood there staring at him blankly, " Uh-huh...you know what, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go help

Vejitto and Gogeta with the packages. " he said, leaving the room.

" Oh how could I think such things that's so naughty! " Goku berated himself, turning away.

" There there Kaasan its alright. " Gogeta patted Goku on the back while Vejitto nodded sympathetically.

" Hai you just lost Chi-Chi who you loved so much you have every right to be temporarily confused. " Vejitto added.

Goku looked over his shoulder and smiled at them, " Thank you Ji-chan and Goggie. "

" Hee—— " Vejitto grinned, " It was nothing Toussan! "

" You're welcome Kaasan! "

/dl

" Do you think you bought enough goods? " Vegeta sweatdropped as he stood before the bright red covertable air-car

overloaded with packages.

" You have to be prepared ya know, Toussan! " Future-Gogeta chirped, handing the ouji a package.

" Yup! Prepared for lots and lots of snacking! " Future-Vejitto grabbed an extra package with his tail.

Vegeta did the same, grabbing one of the lighter bags with his tail. He led the fusions inside, " Just to warn you

two, there's been a time-travel accident and another certain duo from 48 years ago have accidently ended up here. "

" A-nother two people? " Future-Vejitto blinked.

" From 48 years a-go? " Future-Gogeta gasped.

" Yup. " Vegeta nodded and went inside. He smirked, " You'll be surprised. " the ouji set down his packages.

" Surprised? " Future-Vejitto set his packages down as did Future-Gogeta. They both looked up to see what looked like

identical versions of themselves.

" °GASP°! "

" I'll leave you four alone now. " Vegeta snickered, walking back out to get more packages; Goku slowly and almost

stalkerly following him outside.

The two Vejittos stared at each other.

The two Gogetas stared at each other.

" HEYAH! "

" HEYAH! " both Vejittos struck the same defensive pose, then mirrored several more poses of each other. After the

5th or so pose they moved onto mirroring funny-faces, trying to slip each other up.

" Doodoodoodoodo— "

" Doodoodoodoodo— " the Gogetas where mirroring each other in a child's clapping game, attempting to trick one

another as well.

Vegeta re-entered the house with his arms full of packages. The smaller saiyajin sweatdropped at the four fusions;

the Vejittos making funny faces and the Gogetas playing an increasingly fast-paced clapping game, " Did we really need FOUR

of them? " he said flatly.

" °glomp° "

" EEP! " Vegeta let out a squeal as his packages dropped to the floor. He looked down to see Goku's arms around his

waist and the larger saiyajin's head resting comfortably ontop of Vegeta's with a dazed look on his face. The ouji twitched,

creeped out. He instantly whipped out Chi-Chi's rulebook and started flipping through it again, " Waist, waist, waist, pg75."

he flipped to it, " Rule 68: You are not allowed to hold the Ouji by his waist because the waist is a spot typically held

onto by couples such as you and I, not you and the Ouji who are not a couple but two platonic associates. ...associates? "

Vegeta blinked at the last word.

" Mmmmm—— "

" WAHHH!! " Vegeta screamed, burst into ssj, and pushed Goku back, " WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH BY

HOLDING ME AND GOING "Mmmm——" ANYWAY!!! "

" Uh--- " Goku froze in place, then looked down at his feet, " I am so sorry Veggie I do not know where that came

from I a-pologize please for-give me! " he gushed, embarassed.

" Yeah.....sure, you're forgiven. " Vegeta dusted himself off, then sprayed his body with the Peasant-Repel. ::My

poor confused peasant. He doesn't know which way is up without these baka rules! Onna made him WAY too dependent upon them::

he shook his head sympathetically. Vegeta turned to smile at him, " Hey Kakarrotto, how about you come outside and help me

bring in the rest of the-- " he paused. Goku was still looking down with his bangs covering his eyes and holding his hands

over his heart while his tail darted up and down; twitching, " --or, you could just stay right there and I'll go get the

rest of the packages by myself. " he took another glance at the four fusions, who were now zipping all over the living room

with one infront of the other, then went back outside.

" Heehee, you're very good at this! " Vejitto said to his double as they ran simaltaniously into the kitchen then

back into the living-room

" Thanks! " Future-Vejitto chirped.

" HAI HAI HAI HAI! "

" HAI HAI HAI HAI! " the Gogetas were bouncing off objects in the room.

" HAAA--oop! " Future-Gogeta slipped off the top of the couch and slammed into Gogeta, knocking them both to the

ground.

" GOGGIE! " Vejitto jumped over, then slipped on the same spot and landed ontop of the already semi-large pile of

saiyajin, " WHOA!! "

Future-Vejitto walked up to the other three, " Are u oh-kay? " he asked, then grinned, " Bulma made me wash the big

stain ontop of the couch this morning and she said it might be a little slippery after. "

" Thanks for...telling us... " Future-Gogeta laughed, " Haha...oww. "

Future-Vejitto started to help the other fusions back up.

" Ohhh.. " Goku twiddled his fingers, his mind off somewhere else.

" Hey, Kakarroujo—— how are ya! " Bura slid over to him.

Goku looked over at her and smiled weakly, " Hi Bura. "

" You know you look a little sad, may I interest you in some FREE designer clothes? Clothes always make ME feel

better? " she offered.

" I dunno... "

" Come on! We'll get you something that you'll really like! And maybe be able to impress Toussan in! " she said

cheerfully, reaching out for his hand.

" Impress my Veggie..... " Goku trailed off, his cheeks flushing.

" ... "

" Kakarroujo? " Bura snapped her fingers infront of him, " Hello? "

" Huh! Oh! Hi Bura! " he chirped, " ...wait, where were we? " Goku looked around, confused.

" Man are you emotionally beat. " she mumbled, sweatdropping, " Now come on, I'm sure I can find something nice for

you! Maybe a really really fancy gi? " Bura said, then smirked, " Or maybe a pretty dress? "

" Oh Buu-rah I am not a-llowed to wear........oww..oww. " Goku grabbed his head in confusion and pain, " CHI-CHAN

HELP!! "

" Oh come on! " Bura impatiently grabbed him by the wrist and yanked Goku down the hallway.

" Well, that was interesting. " Gogeta sweatdropped, wobbling as he got to his feet and dusted himself off.

" It feels so weird to see another me. " Vejitto looked at his counterpart.

" Say did YOU know Bulma's hair was a wig? " Gogeta asked Future-Gogeta.

" Yup! It's pretty convincing-looking though, huh? " he grinned.

" It is VERY convincing! " Future-Vejitto added, " Just look at this copy of "The West City Times"! " he happily

held out a newspaper which had a smiling Bulma on the cover. The headline read "Bulma Briefs -- Still a Bluenette After All

These Years".

" ... " Vejitto and Gogeta blinked.

" It's a slow news-day. " Future-Vejitto sweatdropped.

" EEK! NO NO NO NO NO! I CAN NOT WEAR SOMETHING LIKE THAT NO!! " Goku wailed, dashing back out into the living room,

" Ooh— , the paper! " he switched gears, " Ji-chan can I have the funnies and horo-scopes? " the large saiyajin asked.

" Here u go! " Future-Vejitto whipped out that section and handed it to Goku, who happily waddled off to the kitchen.

" KAKARROUJO! " Bura finally reached the living room again, holding a ballgown.

" ... " all four fusions stared at her.

" Uh, haha, yeah. " she laughed nervously, then backed up back into the shadows.

" Wow she is still at it? " Vejitto said, surprised.

" Only in her spare time, she does have her business you know. " Future-Vejitto replied.

" Hahaha! Ji-chan and Goggie and Ji-chan and Goggie! Come see the funnies with me they're great! " Goku called

cheerfully from the other room.

" Has Kaasan been like this a lot lately? " Gogeta asked the future-fusions.

" Well... " Future-Vejitto started.

" ...Kaasan has been very confused since he lost Onna. " Future-Gogeta finished.

" Mmm-hmm! " Future-Vejitto nodded, " Especially about his own thoughts and feelings and all things concerning Mommy.

Poor Toussan doesn't know what to think without Chi-Chi or Gohan or Goten around to point him in some kind of direction. He

hasn't been independent in so long... "

" But he was really good at it back when he was. " Future-Gogeta added, then pouted, " I think he's just lonely. "

" I would like to see what the funnies of the future are like though... " Gogeta smiled, wandering off into the

kitchen along with Vejitto.

" Come see the funnies with me, me 'n Veggie's fusion-babies! " Goku encouraged them.

Vejitto walked over and looked down at the paper, some of the comic-strips were ones he knew and others he had never

heard of before, " WOW! Hey Goggie, "Get Fuzzy"'s still around! I wonder how old that guy is by now! "

" And "Garfield"'s in reruns! And Snoopy! "

" Snoopy's been in reruns, Goggie. " Vejitto sweatdropped.

" ...oh yeah! " Gogeta perked up.

Goku glanced over at the horoscopes page right under "Dear Abby's Clone", ::Let's see, Pisces: "People in your life

may think that you've temporarily gone off the deep end. But it's what you think that is most important. They are judging you

based upon their perceptions of you. You, on the other hand, are experiancing things from the inside. In a moment of

awareness, you realize what you want--and you go for it--even if it doesn't fit into the social constraints around you. You

want to be free. And that may not be what others want from you". Huh.:: he looked up and watched as Vegeta came back inside

with more packages. The little ouji set them down on the floor. Goku took a deep breath and promptly stood up, his hands on

the table. All four fusions, who had been reading random comic-strips on all three pages of the newspaper, looked up at Goku

in unison. The large saiyajin took a deep breath and walked over Vegeta. He reached out and grabbed Vegeta by the wrist just

as the ouji was turning around.

Vegeta felt the tug and looked over, " Kakarrotto? "

" Veggie I, " Goku said, his voice waivering, " Umm, well I, "

Vegeta began to look uneasy.

" I like being around you. "

Vegeta let out a sigh of relief, " Ah, I like being around you too, Kakarrotto. " he reached to pull his arm away

only to have Goku hold tight, " I, I have to go get the rest of the packages now. "

" Oh. "

" ... "

" You can help if you want. "

" ...k. " Goku smiled, then let go and followed him outside.

/dl

" So, the Kaka-War ended peacefully in this future. " Vejitto, Gogeta, Future-Vejitto, and Future-Gogeta all sat

outside on the stoop before the front door to Capsule Corp. The afternoon was ending.

" Well, I wouldn't say it ever REALLY ended... " Future-Vejitto said to his counterpart, " but Chi-Chi and Mommy did

fight a lot less near the end of Chi-Chi's life. "

" I think it was just because old-age was making Onna soft. " Future-Gogeta nodded, " If she aged like we do there's

no doubt in my mind she wouldn't still be battling Toussan right this second. "

" Thank goodness Onna does not age like that. The Go--Kaka-War would NEVER be over. " Gogeta corrected himself and

laughed nervously.

" I wish I knew what caused this future to be different than the first possible-one though. " Vejitto tilted his head

, " I mean, Chi-Chi dies 2 years later, and at her home and not a hospital. And Toussan hasn't gone AS mentally disrupted as

his other future-self. And Mommy doesn't seem as possessive about Toussan this time either. "

" And WE have a REALLY COOL CAR! " Gogeta grinned and pointed to the convertable.

" HEE—— yeah! " Vejitto grinned as well, " I hope we get THIS future instead of the other one! "

" We do not even KNOW what happens to us in the other one. " Gogeta added.

" That's oh-kay, neither do we. " Future-Gogeta shrugged.

" ... "

" So, how old are you? " Future-Vejitto asked.

" Oh we're 2! " Vejitto grinned and Gogeta held up two fingers.

" WOW! That is far away! " Future-Gogeta said in awe, " And you really ended up here by accident? "

" Mmm-hmm! " Vejitto nodded, " We just wanted to see this blue powder Bulma had in her basement, we didn't mean for

this to happen though. "

" ? " Gogeta thought for a moment, " Hey! Wanna have a four-person sparring session! " he chirped.

" YEAH! " Future-Gogeta cheered, " But, you know we won't be able to go all-out against you guys cuz we're 48 years

stronger than you. "

" Oh that's oh-kay. " Vejitto smiled, getting up, " Besides I'm curious to see how much I've improved anyway. "

" HEE— " Future-Vejitto grinned, " You're on! "

/dl

2 Hours Later...

" °Ding-Dong° "

Vegeta looked over from the couch he was sitting on, then walked over to the front door and opened it only to nearly

fall over. Infront of him stood 4 dirty, sweaty, clothes-torn, tired-looking fusions grinning at him.

" That was fun! " Gogeta wagged his tail.

" What were you DOING out there? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow as the fusions came inside.

" Sparring. " Vejitto replied.

" All FOUR of you....you should've told me I would've gone to watch ya know. " Vegeta said, slightly annoyed.

" Oh that's oh-kay, if they hadn't kept their ki so low our future-selves would've beaten us easy anyway. " Vejitto

sweatdropped, " That would have been no fun to watch. "

" Hey there! " an older, yet cheerful voice said from behind them. The group turned around to see Bulma smiling at

them, " Your machine's all set in order to take you both home! " she adjusted her glasses.

" REALLY!! " Gogeta gushed, " Oh Bulma-san you are the greatest at fixing things EVER! " he glomped her.

" OWW oww oww oww oww--Gogeta stop! " Bulma squeaked out.

" Oop! " Gogeta instantly let go, " Sorry! I forgot you were old---ack! I mean, not OLD old but, older than you are

in the present. " he laughed nervously.

" It's, alright. Really. " Bulma dusted herself off.

" I can't believe it we're really gonna get to go home this time! " Vejitto clasped his hands together in joy, then

paused, " I hope our Bulma isn't going to be TOO mad with us... "

" Aw, how can she? Her future-self helped us! " Gogeta interupted.

" I guess.. " Vejitto blinked, trailing off.

" Let's go. " Bulma nodded and led the group back down the escelator.

" I am REALLY gonna miss THIS feature of the lab. " Vejitto grinned at the escelator, then started to walk backwards

on it so it appeared he wasn't moving at all.

" Hahaha! Yeah its fun! " Gogeta, who was facing the opposite direction a stair below Vejitto, was walking forward

and not going anywhere.

" Do you guys want to go home or not? " Vegeta sweatdropped.

" Can we take the escelator with us? " Gogeta asked.

" NO! " Vegeta sweatdropped even more.

" Ohhh.. " Vejitto said, disappointed as they both stopped walking and the escelator took them down to the bottom

step.

" We are going to miss you past-Ji-chan and past-Goggie. " Goku sniffled slightly, giving them both a hug.

" Aww, don't worry Toussan we'll be oh-kay! " Vejitto smiled.

" Yup! After all its the past and you know what happens in the past already! " Gogeta added.

" I know that is why I worry. " he hugged the two saiyajins tighter, then gently let them go.

Vejitto and Gogeta walked over to the time machine and hovered up until they could climb inside.

Bulma used a step-ladder and got up to instruct them on what to do.

" I hope they are oh-kay on their trip home, Veggie. " Goku said, leaning against the little ouji's side.

Vegeta's cheeks flushed red, " Kakarro-- "

" --SON GOKU! MOVE AWAY FROM THAT OUJI!! " a voice boomed from the heavens.

" EEEK!! " Goku shrieked, jumping away, " IT'S CHI-CHAN'S GHOST COME TO HAUNT ME FOR DISOBEYING 4 OF HER RULES!! " he

zipped under a nearby table, " DO NOT HAUNT ME FOUL SPIRIT!! "

Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " Oh brother... " she mumbled to herself, shaking her head, " Goku-san I'm not a ghost! I'm

DEAD! I'm talking to you through Kaio-sama! "

" Oh. " Goku poked his head out from under the table. He lept to his feet, " HI CHI-CHAN I MISS YOU! " he chirped

happily.

" I miss you too sweetie! "

Goku wagged his tail.

" You sound quite energetic today, Onna. " Vegeta snickered.

" Shuddup Ouji. If you must know, there's a very good reason for that. For one, I have earned back the right to keep

my legs this time! " Chi-Chi boasted.

" Good JOB Onna. " Vegeta mocked, clapping his hands and smirking.

Chi-Chi twitched and ignored him, " Also, since I've been so good and since I was at one point the strongest woman

human on Earth, Kaio-sama has decided he'd like me to train under him while I'm here. I'm going to be staying in Goku-san's

old room at the Grand Kai's. "

" You're kidding me... " Vegeta muttered in disbelief.

" OH CHI-CHAN THAT IS GREAT! " Goku gushed, " Wait'll you see all the cool stuff they got there!---but how are you

going to train you are so old? " he said, worried.

" Oh that, they fixed me up so my body's in prime condition! " Chi-Chi grinned.

" Can they do that for ME too! " Bulma blurted out anxiously. Vegeta shook his head.

" I think you have to be dead... " Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " Anyway! I'm going to train and with how must faster

time moves here than on Earth I bet I'll be strong enough to even take on that evil little Ouji at one point! I'll

genki-dama your evil little Ouji rump all across the planet!--OWW! " Kaio-sama lightly wapped her over the back of the head

with a paper fan.

" Don't insult and take revenge out on Vegeta, Chi-Chi. That's what caused you to lose your legs the FIRST time you

died. " Kaio-sama informed her.

" Did you have to hit so hard. " Chi-Chi rubbed the back of her head, annoyed.

" Goku I want you to know your wife's in good care and if you ever need to reach one another just give me a call.

Of course with the vast difference in the speed of time in the living world to that of other world could often confuse such

attempts, I still want you to know that its possible. " Kaio-sama explained to him.

" Thank u Kaio-sama! " Goku said happily, " ...well, I feel better. " he looked at the others around him.

Vegeta sighed, " Lucky Onna. Now if it were ME, Enma would've probably brainwashed me and sent me off into deep space

to become someone else by now. "

" Aww, do not feel bad little Veggie. " Goku pouted, giving him a hug, " I care about you and luv u and like to be

around you all the time cuz you're the best Veggie ever. " he comforted the smaller saiyajin, snuggling closer.

Vegeta's face turned bright red, " Ah, thanks. " he squeaked out.

" So you just hold this button in four 5 seconds and everything should be fine. " Bulma finished explaining to the

fusions.

" Thank u Bulma! "

" Thank u Bulma! " they said in unison, smiling.

The older fusion turned to the younger one, " Ready Goggie? " he grinned.

" Ready Jitto! " Gogeta pumped a fist in the air as the round glass roof began to close down over them.

Vejitto waited for it to completely lock into place, then pressed the blue button. The time machine lifted up off

the ground and into the air.

" BYEBYE! " Gogeta waved to the others.

" THANKSOMUCH FOR YOUR HELP!! " Vejitto waved as well, and with that the time machine and the fusions disappeared.

" Well I hope they get back safely. " Vegeta said, staring at the empty space. He looked over at Future-Vejitto and

Future-Gogeta, " Do you remember if you get back safely after this? "

Future-Gogeta shrugged, " I dunno. "

" 48 years WAS a long time ago, Mommy. " Future-Vejitto nodded.

" Yeah, good point. " Vegeta nodded, then smirked, " Well, who wants cake? "

" ME!! "

" ME!! " Goku, Vejitto, and Gogeta raised their hands in the air excitedly.

/dl

" WHOOOOAWHOOAHWHOOAAAA!! " Vejitto held on tight to his seat as the time-machine went whipping through the

time-space continuum.

" Oh Jitto, I do not feel good... " Gogeta's face was starting to turn green.

" ACK! SWALLOW IT GOGGIE! SWALLOW IT! " Vejitto near panicked.

Gogeta made a face as he did so, " Bleh, Fish-on-a-Stick isn't as good going down the 2nd time as it is the first,

Jitto. "

" I hope that Bulma knew what she was doing. " Vejitto commented.

" Of course she did, she IS Bulma. " Gogeta nodded.

" Yeah but she was an old Bulma with really really really thick glasses. " Vejitto pointed out.

" AND fake hair! " Gogeta chimed in.

Just the the time machine started to land.

" HOLD ON TIGHT! " Gogeta yelped, " We are going to LAND! I hope! "

" I hope its ON land. " Vejitto added, just as nervous as the danced fusion.

The time machine quickly landed and came to a stop in the middle of a street in West City.

" Ohhhhh... " the hatch opened and both fusions leaned dizzily over the side of the machine.

" That wasn't fun, Jitto. " Gogeta said, trying to reorient himself.

" Nuh-uh. " Vejitto added, then looked over to see an electronics store across the sidewalk from them.

" We're here LIVE with the alien spaceship that just landed not even 3 hours ago. " the man on the tv screen

announced, " Currently our top-scientists are trying to determine just WHERE it, along with with the two aliens who had

landed, came from. Here is a sketch of what the two aliens looked like. " a drawing came up on the screen with 2 figures who

looked similar to Vegeta and Nappa on it, " We have concluded the larger of the two aliens is dead, the smaller however may

be still here on the planet or on the run somewhere in outer space. " the screen went back to the reporter.

" Oooh. " Vejitto grimaced, " Wrong turn. "

" And now let's have a word with one of our top scientists-- " the newsreporter walked over, then let out a scream

as the saiyajin space-pod behind him suddenly exploded.

" Double oooh. " Gogeta grimaced as well, " Jitto you are right, that Bulma made a mistake! "

Vejitto sighed, " It looks like we'll have to find Bulma again and get her to help. We're farther back now so that

means this Bulma's vision is probably still 20/20. "

" Oh-kay! " Gogeta chirped, then lept to his feet, " TO THE HOSPITAL! "

" WHOA!! " Vejitto fell over ever, then instantly got up again, " WE'RE NOT GOING TO THE HOSPITAL!! "

" Why not? That's where Bulma is right now remember Kaasan's memory? She was in his hospital room when she pressed

the button on the remote that destroyed Nappa's spaceship. " Gogeta pointed out.

" I'm NOT going to the hospital, Goggie. " Vejitto twitched.

" But why not? We'll get to ride around in the spare wheelchairs and pretend we're doctors and nurses and maybe even

get to operate on some people! Why not? " Gogeta asked.

" THIS is why not. " Vejitto held something small blue and squiggily out infront of Gogeta.

" EEP! " Gogeta fell over, then zipped behind him, " Squish it Jitto! SQUISHITSQUISHITSQUISHIT!! " he panicked.

Vejitto just dropped the worm over the side of the time machine, " There, its gone. " he said happily, proud of

himself.

Gogeta thought for a moment, " ...OHHHH! Now I get it! Jitto is a-fraid of the needles just like Kaasan huh!!! "

he grinned teasingly.

Vejitto's cheeks flushed pink, " I'm not AFRAID! Needles just make me feel, squimish. At least its better than being

afraid of worms. Worms can't hurt you, needles CAN! Especially some of the stuff they put inside them before they stick you

with 'um! "

" Yeah but needles are in, inanimate objects, Jitto! " Gogeta warned him, " Worms are ALIVE. " his eyes widened in

fear on the last word, then went back to normal, " Some of them even eat straight through your body if you let um!! "

" Nuh-uh! "

" Uh-huh! Toussan told me so! " Gogeta nodded rapidly.

" I miss Mommy. " Vejitto sat back in his seat.

" Me too. " Gogeta pouted, " If Toussan were here HE would help us. "

Vejitto hopped out of the time machine along with Gogeta and the two of them capsulized the time machine, " Well, I

guess we should get going. "

" To the hospital? " Gogeta asked.

Vejitto shifted uneasily, " It's not like we have a choice. "

" Great! We'll be able to get home AND you can face your fear, Jitto! " Gogeta patted him on the back.

" ONE of my fears. " Vejitto pointed out.

" Oh yeah...the coffee-candy. " Gogeta trailed off.

" And MAYBE while we're at it you can face YOURS too! " Vejitto smirked, picking up the worm he'd dropped.

" NO THANK YOU!! " Gogeta yelped. Vejitto sweatdropped.

/dl

" I STILL can't believe we're sending HIM out there. " Chi-Chi groaned she sat on the couch. Bulma and Mirai were

finishing up the final checks on the time machine.

" °BOOMP°! " a nearby door swung open and Goku happily stepped out with a trumpet in his hand. He took a deep breath,

" °DO°DO°DO°DO° °DO°DO°DO° °DO°!! " he played it loudly and horribly off-key. Bulma, Mirai, and Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " I

now intro-duce to you, my VEGGIE! "

The figure in the dark behind him sweatdropped. Vegeta regained his stature and strutted out into the room. The ouji

was wearing pilot goggles, the little blue gi, his gloves and boots, a cream-colored scarf too big for him, and a bright red

cape.

" Aww little Veggie you look so KAWAII—— ! " Goku reached over and glomped the smaller saiyajin.

" °EEP!° " Vegeta let out a yelp and turned bright red.

" VeggieVeggieVEGGIE—— "

" Oh-kay, that's enough, really. " Vegeta yanked himself out of the hug and laughed nervously, " I'm uh, haha, yeah.

Thanks. "

" HEE—! Goodluck Veggie! " Goku gushed excitedly.

Vegeta turned around and teleported up to the seat of the time machine.

" Now, you've used this before, correct? " Bulma said, making sure as Vegeta got into the seat and grabbed either of

the joysticks.

" Yup. I think I know what I'm doing. " he smirked.

" Now, I've figured out how to reach Vejitto and Gogeta's current coordinates. They're in the past about 13 years

ago. 763. This time machine is set to send you there and return you and the fusions back here. You're to use this one to

return, not theirs because this is the one that I've programmed, got it? " Bulma started.

" Worried I'll get trapped in time and space and destroy the entire fabric of it with my impish charm? " the ouji

grinned cheesily at her.

" Nothing about you is "impish", Vegeta. " Bulma said flatly, " Anyway, once you arrive--first take off those stupid

goggles you don't need them! The time machine has a lid! " she sweatdropped.

" Ohh.. " the ouji pouted stubbornly, then took the goggles off and chucked them over his shoulder.

Bulma sighed, " Scarf too. "

" FINE. " Vegeta snorted and removed that as well, " Can I at least keep the cape? "

" Alright, you can keep the cape. "

" GOOD. " the ouji smirked, rubbing the red material.

" Now, when you arrive I want you to find Vejitto and Gogeta and get them home as soon as possible. While thanks to

the updates to the time machine nothing you do in the past will affect the present or future, its still wise not to hang

around any longer than necessar-- "

" --WAIT! " the ouji said, his eyes wide and shining. He held Bulma by the arms, " You mean that ANYTHING and

EVERYTHING I do while in the past has absolutely no consequences of which no one here or in any present or future will ever

know about? For--for instance I could go and start blowing things u---I mean, performing certain actions of varying

destruction--and no one will ever know? "

" Well, yes. " Bulma said.

" Excellent... " Vegeta rubbed his hands together wickedly, then sat back and closed the hatch, " Well I'm off!

So long Bulma, Kakarrotto, Onna! I shall see you again soon, though all 3 of you will be much younger and cower in fear

before my very presence! Goodbye! " he grinned.

" VEGETA! " Bulma shouted, " THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD GO BACK AND START DESTROYING THINGS JUST FOR THE HECK OF

IT!!! " she screamed at him, then sweatdropped as the time machine disappeared from sight.

" You know you really shouldn't have told him that last part. " Chi-Chi said flatly, " Now he's gonna go back and

conquer the planet for all we know.... " she trailed off, then looked over at Goku who was still sweetly waving goodbye to

the non-existant ouji. Chi-Chi paled, " Or WORSE. "

" Oh do not worry Chi-chan! " Goku said happily, patting her on the shoulders, " Veggie'll be JUST FINE! "

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

7:46 PM 5/13/2004

END OF PART FOUR!

Chuquita: (to Jitto) Well, you got your wish, there's gonna be a part 5.

Vejitto: HOORAY! I get to be the hero for a whole extra chapter!

Gogeta: (cheers) Me too!!

Chuquita: (to audiance) (happily) Guess what? I just found out that Budoukai 3 is going to have movie characters in it!

Like Brolli and Cooler and possibly Goggie!

Gogeta: (eyes widen in excitement) ME? In 3-D?

Vejitto: (happily) We could spar against each OTHER! VIRTUALLY!

Gogeta: HOORAY!!

Vegeta: (smirks) AND I can defeat Brolli without Kakarrotto having to worry insanely about my safety.

Goku: HOORAY!!

Chuquita: (looks over her shoulder) I really should get back to unlocking characters in Budoukai 2.

Vegeta: Well you are off for summer now...

Chuquita: Yeah, I know. Though for 2 days a week starting in late may til the end of june I have one course I'm taking now

just so I don't have to take it in the fall. Mandatory courses are a pain.

Vegeta: And that would be?

Chuquita: Psychology.

Vegeta: ACK!

Chuquita: (grins) I read a story once where Bulma takes Veggie to the psychologist. It was funny, but I read it a long time

ago so I don't remember the title or anything.

Vegeta: (narrows his eyes) Are you suggesting I have emotional and psychological issues concerning Kakarrotto?

Chuquita: (blinks) No I didn't say anything.

Vegeta: Because I don't. I'm a perfectly normal stable individual. I AM the Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ouji, afterall.

Besides, if there's anyone who needs help with "issues", it's Kakarrotto!

Goku: (gasps) Me?!

Vegeta: Yes you! You let Onna push you around all the time! We could be doing all sorts of things together if you didn't let

her rule over you!

Goku: (pouts) Chi-chan does not rule over me. I love Chi-chan.

Vegeta: (grumbles) If anything I should be the one ruling over you.

Goku: Huh?

Vegeta: Nothing.

Chuquita: ...

Vejitto: ...

Gogeta: ...

Chuquita: Uh-huh... (perks up) Anyway! Here's the reviewer-replies!

To Hakura: Heh-heh, I kinda forgot about that...well, maybe its just a really well-built stadium! °nods° :) Yup, the

announcer's always there, I liked how he knew that it had to have been Goku and the others who destroyed Cell. Also the

position of "announcer" goes down through his children and grandchildren--as seen at the end of gt :) Ooh, poor Boss Rabbit.

He probably could've turned stuff on the moon into food to survive, at least until Roshi blew up the moon at the 21st

Budoukai.

To Nekoni: Hai, I didn't mean for the end of part 3 to be so sad. Yeah, Yamcha probably wouldn't enjoy hearing about his

future. ;; Veggie cheered Goku up though.

To Cathowl: Glad you liked it. Heehee, Bardock's so confusing.

To Goddess Shimi: Yeah, possible-future Veggie cares so much for Bulma. He misses his possible-future Bulma so much. The

motorcycle bit was fun 'n random :)

Vegeta: Well, I feel better knowing it wasn't Toei who did that to me. It would be strange if the same people who decided to

free my gt-self from that evil mustache were the same people who placed me in an undergarment usually worn by women. AND if

Kakarrotto SAW me in an undergarment usually worn by women.

Goku: (blinks) You mean like a bra?

Vegeta: ... (slaps himself on the forehead) Kakarrotto, why would I even WEAR a bra?!

Goku: I don't know Veggie, its your body!

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) ...

To SacredGoggles: Yup! Hai, I like the old way of uploading much better. Ff.net should do a poll where we vote to decide

whether or not to keep QuickEdit or return to the old uploading machine. Whichever machine gets the most votes wins! :D

Hai! I luv chibi Goku! Always wanted to do a db story. Aw, I like that idea w/chibi Goku looking for his parents. Aww, that

song does remind me of Son-kun. :) The midi also sounded very Gokuish :)

To Carie: Glad you liked the tournament. I may do a story with the 27th Budoukai that's coming up. (It never gets an episode

in the show, they skip straight to the 28th one)

To limelie: I will!

To Nuki: Oh yeah..would that mean their metabolisms are fast then if they eat a lot? °confused°

To Anti-Venum: Heehee, well Bulma does wear glasses in gt, so I thought I'd just expand on that. They never say what she

needs them for though. Bura never gives up on that.

Vegeta: (toots a little party horn while wearing a party hat) Heh-heh——

Goku: (sweatdrops) Chi-chan isn't dead YET Veggie! Not for another 44 to 48 years!

Vegeta: I can dream can't I?

Vejitto: (holds up clear bag given to them containing water and catfish) Ooh, fishy!

Gogeta: (taps on the bag) ?

To Maria Cline: Yes that possibility has a much smaller chance of happening in the 2nd possible future. Then again its only

halfway to the year that the 1st possible future takes place in. Who knows? LOL! That would be a very interesting timeline.

Vegeta: (pales) It would also be probably the only thing more frightening than me ending up with Kakarrotto as my oujo!

Goku: Yeah! The saiyajin oujo is MY job, not Chi-chan's.

Vegeta: THE JOB OF SAIYAJIN NO OUJO BELONGS TO NONE OF YOU!!

Goku: (sniffles) But what a-bout possible-future me and his wonderful saiyajin oujo uniform and crown?

Vegeta: (stubborn-pout) That doesn't count.

To Kitty Kyinsky: Hai, this future-Goku is having similar confusing thoughts such as the other one had, though not as

extreme. :)

To SupersayainkingTommy: Yup! When and how Chi-Chi died in each future matters greatly. Lots of stuff can change in 4 years.

Like, if I had been absent in history class 4 years ago the day the teacher showed that video on royalty in spain I would've

never gotten the inspiration that spawned "Veggienapped!" and would probably be typing stories completely different from the

ones I do now.

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) That's scary to imagine all of this eventually spread from one day.

Chuquita: Yup! Actually there was only a 2 day break-period from when I stopped writing pkmn fics to when "Veggienapped!"

began.

To Callimogua: I'm doing great now that my semester's over :D Glad u liked the chapter!

Goku: We would like to thank SupersayainkingTommy for the snacks! (holds up fish) :D

Vegeta: (holds up pepsi) :)

Vejitto: (holds up chocolate) :)

Gogeta: (holds up chocolate as well) :D

Vejitto: It's hard to choose between fish 'n soda...

Gogeta: (happily) So we chose chocolate!

Vegeta: One wish huh...

Goku: (excitedly) I know what I wish for!!

Vegeta: (realizes what it is) NO!! (clasps his hand over Goku's mouth) Don't you DARE! (flushes bright red) I WON'T ALLOW

IT!!

Chuquita: That's actually part of a future story idea, what Son-kun's thinkin.

Goku: (happily) REALLY?

Vegeta: (terrified) Really...

Chuquita: ...maybe.

Vegeta: WAHH! (falls over)

Vejitto: (holds up a paper) All future-stories will be listed at the end of part 5!

Gogeta: And this is the end of part 4! (eats some of his chocolate)

Chuquita: (waves) See you next week everybody!

Goku: (muffled by Veggie) BYEBYE!!
