Chuey's Corner:

Chuquita: (trying to keep from laughing) In stores this summer.

Goku: Heehee——

Vegeta: (wearing an eye-mask and cape) What, don't you think I can defeat them?

Goku: (giggles) Veggie sounded so heroic.

Vegeta: (smirks boastfully) Yes I am.

Chuquita: Somehow Mirai's "interest" line doesn't sound very threatening.

Vegeta: That's because indirect threats don't have the same impact as actual threats, like my line up there.

Chuquita: This is the movie where Veggie "lost all will to fight and seems to be lost in his own thoughts".

Vegeta: Yes...that was a very emotionally confusing time. There was a lot of hurt, pain, and anguish...

Goku: (eyes water up) (reaches over to hug Veggie)

Vegeta: (panicks, waves his hands infront of him to avoid hug) BUTTHATSALLGONENOW! REALLY!

Goku: (brings his arms back down, smiles at Veggie)

Vegeta: °WHEW°!

Chuquita: Welcome to part 3!

Vegeta: (takes eyemask and cape off) Yes, in this chapter Kakarrotto finds out Brolli's in the hotel and vise versa.

Goku: (narrows eyes, looms around Veggie protectively) I dislike Brolli...

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) We know that, Kakarrotto. We also know that I can take care of myself and don't need your services as a

personal body-guard.

Goku: (stares at Veggie intently, moves back only slightly)

Vegeta: ...

Chuquita: Also in this chapter, the fusions visit the boardwalk!

Vejitto: (happily) And it will be FUN!

Gogeta: Yes it will! :)

Vegeta: o.O (does a double take, Vejitto and Gogeta no longer there) ...yeah.

Goku: (grabs Veggie and hugs on tightly)

Vegeta: Eep!

Chuquita: Also my mid-term's Monday so wish me luck!

Goku: (chirps) Good luck!

Vegeta: (squeezes out of Son's grip) And just when are you planning to study for this?

Chuquita: Tommorow.

Vegeta: ...

Chuquita: Hey, I think I'll do alright, I just gotta review some of the people's names and titles and that sort of thing.

Vegeta: Alright....

Chuquita: OH! Also today we got the laptop working and I saw this funny Chibi Goku and super-deformed Veggie action figures

at Suncoast!

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) You're kidding?

Chuquita: Nope! I'm going up there Monday after my mid-term and buying one. It's chibi ssj Goku (they have the ssj4 Goku too

but his figure looked a little off) and in the corner what it advertises as a free "chibi" figurine which is infact a sd

figurine; but who cares about the titles--it's a LITTLE Veggie!! (grins)

Goku: (happily) It looks like a plushie that the chibi me would carry around.

Chuquita: I'm also debating on whether or not to try some Pocky they sell there. I'll ask on deviantart if the stuff is

crunchy or chewy.

Vegeta: Like that aspect of the candy matters. (sweatdrops)

Chuquita: Of course it does! OH! The laptop we just got started today. It's got a BEAUTIFUL screen AND 55.8GB of SPACE!

Goku: HEE——

Vegeta: (smirks) Sounds like fun.

Chuquita: It's gonna be GREAT! No more sitting back here twitching while my sister blasts the tv behind me at full volume!

I can type WHEREVER IN THE HOUSE I WANT!

Vegeta: (sighs nostalgically) Ahh, privacy...how I miss that.

Chuquita: (blinks) What do you mean?

Vegeta: (points to Goku)

Goku: (playing with Veggie's tank-top) Heehee, Veggie has such nice clothes...

Vegeta: (flushes bright red)

Chuquita: OH.... (to audiance) The only thing I have to get done before I can use that computer for my stories is get all

my stories including this current chapter onto cd since the new laptop doesn't have a floppy drive.

Vegeta: o.O You still store things on FLOPPIES!?

Chuquita: (embarassed) My stories, yeah. I write them in notepad its easier to move around such small files on a floppy. All

my comics and stuff eventually go to CD when I'm done with them though. Comics/images/copiesofdbzgtmovieseps = CD.

Stories--up until now = floppy.

Vegeta: Ahh.

Chuquita: (grins) And with that final thought from Veggie we leave you with Part 3!

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) ...

Chuquita: Remember, Brolli's 4 years in the future too, so that's why he's slightly different as well.

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Thanks for the reminder.

" So! " Vegeta spoke up, breaking the silence between himself and Goku as they walked down the hallway, " Bulma was

asking you questions about me? "

The larger saiyajin's cheeks flushed pink, " She was just asking me questions about my re-lation-ship with Veggie.

Kinda like how Chi-chan does just at a much calmer level. "

" She knows its completely platonic, right? " the ouji said nervously.

" Of course she does! " Goku gasped.

" Of course....why wouldn't it be? "

" I don't know. "

" ... "

The two saiyajin stopped for a moment, trying to avoid looking at each other, their faces starting to glow. They both

turned to each other at the same time.

" Kakarrotto-- "

" Veggie-- "

" ... "

" "Buddies"...right? "

" Yes, we're buddies. That's all. "

They reached out and shook each other's hand.

" :) "

" ...you can let go now. " Vegeta sweatdropped.

" Huh? "

" We can't hold hands like this people will think things now let go. " the little ouji sputtered. Goku slowly let go

of his tight grip on Vegeta's gloved hand.

" Just, just follow me. " he said, shaken.

Goku perked up, " Whatever you say, Veggie! "

/dl

" Now that is strange. " Vejitto said in awe, looking around the arcade.

" What is Jitto? " Gogeta, who's entire upperbody was hidden behind a gigantically large pile of orange tickets,

asked curiously while tilting his head.

" It doesn't look like there's any prizes around here. Or even a register to hand the tickets in to. " Vejitto

scratched his head.

" Oh you don't hand your tickets in HERE. "

Vejitto looked over to see Parisu at a crane game. She moved the lever around.

" This building's arcades are part of the "Ed's Funcade" arcades on the boardwalk. There's 3 of them there. The ones

on the boardwalk are the only ones you can actually turn your tickets in for prizes because these are just their subsidiary

arcades, meaning they're only an extension of the other ones but not with all the games of a regular arcade. "

" You mean there are arcades with more games than these? " Gogeta gasped with delight.

" Sure! "

" WOW! " his eyes sparkled and he looked over at the portara fusion, " Let's go THERE, Jitto! We can capsulize the

tickets and drive there in the Fusion-Mobile! "

" Alright! " Vejitto pumped his fist in the air and grinned over at Parisu, " Thank u for helping us young

arcade-knowledgable girl! "

" You're welcome! " she chirped, then twitched as the item she'd picked up with the crane fell back into the pile,

" Doh! "

/dl

" Hmm... " Brolli stood before one of the 4 elevators in the lobby, deep in concentration, " Building-workers! What

do these things do? "

The boy and girl, still afraid to come out after Brolli's burst over Vegeta earlier, hid quietly behind the desk.

The large saiyajin tilted his head and walked over to them, peering over the desk, " You don't have to hide. I'm not

going to hurt you. The only person I want to maim and kill in a slow crushingly painful manner is Kakarrotto. "

" Um...oh-kay. " the girl said uneasily, getting up, " Those are the elevators, they take you up and down between

floors as opposed to using the stairs.

" OH! I know what those are. My father had those on the spaceship. Or something similar to them. " Brolli nodded,

" Oh-kay then, I shall board the elevators in my second search for Vejita! " he said determindly, then held something up,

" Do you mind if I bring this magazine with me? "

" N--no, not at all. " she laughed nervously.

" Wonderful! " Brolli smirked, then dashed to the elevator and got inside, " HERE I COME, VEJITA! "

/dl

" Man, where ARE they? Toussan and Son-san should've been here by now. " Trunks said as he sat on the side of the

water-raft game's seat. Vejitto and Gogeta passed him, " H--hey, where are you going?...and what happened to all your

tickets? "

" We capsulized them! " Gogeta whipped out a small red capsule.

" And now we're taking them to the REAL arcade on the boardwalk so we can trade them in for "FABULOUS PRIZES"! "

Vejitto happily quoted.

" Just like "The Price is Right", but with TICKETS! "

" ...oh. " Trunks blinked as the fusions left, " --WAIT! "

" Hm? "

" Hm? " they both looked back at him at the same time.

" Do you guys even know WHERE this other arcade is? "

" There's 3 of them actually. " Vejitto pointed out.

" And no we don't thanks! " Gogeta chirped. Vejitto sweatdropped at him.

" But we WILL know, SOON! " Vejitto boasted, " Thanks to this handy boardwalk map given to us by Goten's friend! "

he whipped out the map.

" But I didn't-- " Trunks got confused.

" Her. " Gogeta pointed to Parisu.

" Yeah, you're not Goten's ONLY friend you know, Trunks! " Bura shouted from across the arcade.

The fusions and Trunks sweatdropped.

" Hmmph! What does she know. " Trunks folded his arms, then whispered to the fusions, " I'm Goten's BEST friend and

I met him first so I get dibs. "

" You know you shouldn't act like that. " Vejitto started off.

" Acting out Toussan-like tendencies can only lead to Toussan-like obsessive behavior and that is not healthy at

all. " Gogeta finished.

" And the way you can finish each other's thoughts in real-time is not? " Trunks said sarcastically.

" ? "

" Come on Goggie! Let's go get that prize! " Vejitto said happily.

" WAHH! " Trunks fell over.

" HOORAY! " Gogeta cheered, " I hope its a "BRAND NEW CAR"! Or if not I'll accept a catamaran as well. "

" OOOOH. " Trunks zipped to his feet as Vejitto and Gogeta headed towards the elevators, " I do NOT exhibit

Toussan-like behavior on Goten! " he whipped around, " Goten! I don't try to hog you all the time like my Toussan does to

your Toussan do I? " he snapped, " I don't order you around! "

" Huh? " Goten was playing pac-man.

" GOTEN GET OVER HERE! " Trunks exclaimed, " I NEED YOU NOW! "

Bura sweatdropped in the distance.

" BUT I'M BUSY TRYIN' TO EAT THE DIGITAL PRETZEL! AND IT'S SALTED TOO! " Goten shouted back, his eyes locked on the

little pretzel he was trying to get to on the screen.

" What're you yelling for? "

Trunks turned around to see Vegeta and Goku standing there, " Oh, Toussan. Hi. "

" Heehee—— " Goku grinned.

" So where's this game you won first place in? " the ouji walked past Trunks and looked around, " Hm... not a very

large arcade. "

" Vejitto and Gogeta just left for the "real" one. " Trunks pointed out.

" So many flashing lights. " Goku said in awe.

Trunks led Vegeta to the rafting game and pointed to the name "Gotenks" at the top of the "10 Highest Scores List",

" THIS is it. " he said simply.

" 2400. That's not a very high score. " Vegeta folded his arms, then smirked, " This'll be easy. "

" Not as easy as you think. " Trunks said cooly.

The ouji hopped into the middle of the seat and grabbed the paddle, ::Its unusually WIDE for a rafting game:: he

took a glance back at Trunks suspiciously. The demi-saiyajin was looking off in the other direction, whistling, " Think

you're so smart, do ya? " he whipped out a quarter and put it in, then grabbed the paddle again and prepared to start. His

eyes widened when on-screen appeared the simulated location to the game. In the raft on-screen were two players, " No WONDER

you got first place! This is a two-player game! You had Goten help you! " Vegeta exclaimed.

" Surprise! " Trunks said.

" °5° "

Vegeta sighed, ::Maybe I can do this on my own::

" °4° "

::But, but what if...::

" °3° "

::What if I CAN'T beat them? Trunks and Goten will taunt me about it the rest of this entire trip!::

" °2° "

" Kakarrotto...get over here! " Vegeta finally spat.

" °1° "

" HOORAY! " Goku cheered and bounced onto the left side of the seat, pushing Vegeta back to the right.

" °GO!° "

" PADDLE KAKARROTTO! " Vegeta shouted and the two set to work, moving the raft but not as fast and far as Vegeta had

previously hoped.

Trunks smirked; he was right. Vegeta and Goku were moving at two completely different momentums. Vegeta, who had

played many arcade games before with Trunks; was going as fast as he possibly could without breaking the machine while Goku,

who knew how to play but didn't very often; was moving at a steady pace, trying to outmatch that of the other rafts in the

game. The result was the raft leaning to the right while trying to move to the left.

" Hey Goten! You gotta come see this! " Trunks called out to him.

" Oh-kay! "

" Kuso...Kakarrotto you're moving too slow! " Vegeta complained.

" Well you're moving too fast! " Goku complained back to him.

" Hmm... " Vegeta trailed off in thought. He glanced up at the timer and an idea hit him, " I got it! Kakarrotto

we'll alternate! "

" Huh? "

" I push then you push, that's how you row isn't it? Left arm, right arm, left arm. That sort of thing. "

" YEAH! " Goku gushed, " Me first! " he said, then pushed forward and stopped for a moment for Vegeta to push. They

alternated and got back onto the track and were now moving past some of the other rafters.

" BWAHAHAHA! " Vegeta laughed as he pushed harder. They were gaining on the raft in first place. The two of them

started moving faster and finally caught up, then passed the first raft.

" We're WINNING! " Goku exclaimed, " Look Veggie we're WINNING! "

" ?! " Trunks gawked, " You gotta be kidding... "

/dl

" Ohhhhhh... " Gogeta tilted his head along with the dinging and lighting up of the numbered elevator lights near

the top of the wall.

" That is so strange, it looks like someone's stopping at each and every floor! " Vejitto observed. The number 4 was

currently lit up.

6 floors down...

" VE-JITA! VEJITA! " Brolli ran down the hallway of floor 4, opening and searching each room on the floor, " Are you

in here? " he opened another door only to recieve a slap from a woman in a robe.

" How DARE you! Breaking and entering into other peoples rooms like that shame on you! " she snapped and slammed the

door shut on him.

Brolli stood there, baffled, " Uh, sorry? " he continued on, " VEJITA? " he reached the end of the hallway, then ran

back to the elevator and got back in. He forcefully pressed floor 5.

" °ding° "

" There it goes! " Vejitto said happily as Gogeta tilted his head slightly up more to align with the floor number.

" Ya know, that ki feels a little familiar. " Gogeta said outloud, nodding in deep thought.

" Very familiar. "

" As if it carries an eerie forboding of evil along with it. "

" A specific evil designed and decided to take on one of our parents. "

" Yup! "

" That it does. "

" °ding° "

" Floor 7! " Gogeta chirped.

" Well we can't wait for it to get up here, let's try the elevator next to it. " Vejitto walked over and pressed the

up button outside the closed doors to the elevator. The number 2 lit up and it started slowly making its way towards them.

" You'd think they'd have a faster way to move elevators by now. " Gogeta scratched his head.

" °ding° "

" Floor 8! " Vejitto grinned, then looked back at their own elevator and pouted, " Aw, still on 5! "

" °ding° "

" Floor 9! " Gogeta said, then turned to Vejitto, who smiled.

" 8! "

" °ding° "

" °ding° " both elevators reached their destination at once and opened up.

" Floor-- "

" --ten. " the figure stepped out of the elevator and passed Vejitto and Gogeta as they headed into the elevator

next store.

" Hi Brolli. "

" Hi spawn of —♥Vejita♥— and the Evil Crybaby Screaming Brainless Creature of Doom. " he said casually.

" ... "

" BROLLI! " both fusions gasped and lundged for the elevator door just to miss as it closed.

" OH NO! HE'S GONNA TRY AND STEAL TOUSSAN! " Gogeta freaked out. He grabbed onto Vejitto, " WE CAN'T LET HIM STEAL

TOUSSAN! "

" No we can't! " Vejitto nodded determindly and teleported them out of the elevator and infront of Brolli, who pulled

a double-take.

" WAH!? " he jumped back.

" WE CAN'T LET YOU STEAL TOUSSAN! " Gogeta poked him.

" Heh-heh-heh...haha...MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA--- " Brolli laughed evilly. Gogeta stared at him, confused. Brolli bent

down to the fusions' height, " --Vejita's on this floor isn't he? " he said calmly.

" No. " Vejitto said.

" Really? I think you're lying. "

" And just how would you know if I am lying or not? " Vejitto blinked.

" Ah,.....well, because I do! " he sputtered.

" That's not a very good rea-son! " Gogeta said in a sing-song voice. Brolli leered at him, " AHH! OH JITTO! " he

zipped behind Vejitto, then whipped out his water-gun and aimed it at Brolli. Vejitto reached for his own water-gun, then

sweatdropped when he found he didn't have it.

" Ah, Goggie? " he smiled cheesily at him.

" Here u go! " Gogeta whipped out Vejitto's water-gun and handed it to him. Both fusions aimed the super-soakers at

the large saiyajin.

" And what exactly are THOSE? " Brolli chuckled, amused.

" They're sub-atomic super-powered disintegration rays designed to de-molecularize your entire body! " Vejitto

smirked a Veggie-smirk.

" Oooh, good one Jitto! " Gogeta said, impressed.

" Heehee—— I made that one up off the top of my head. " he grinned.

" Uhh... " Brolli cocked an eyebrow, " So, they... "

" Rip your dna in half. " Vejitto chirped.

" OH! " Brolli paled, " Well, that's nice----HA! " he yanked the super-soakers away from the fusions, " HA! HA HA HA!

Now I'VE got YOU! "

" ... "

The fusions blinked, then whipped out identical super-soakers to the last ones.

" Wha-huh!? " Brolli gawked, " Wait a...how did you...and where did you get tho-- " he looked down to see the ones he

had grabbed no longer there, then glanced back up to see both fusions grinning Son-style at him, " You're...really...REALLY

creepy, ya know that? "

" He fears what he cannot understand. " Vejitto commented.

" And THAT is the power of OUR-- " Gogeta started, then paused and whispered to Vejitto, " What did you call these

again. "

" Umm, I forget. " Vejitto sweatdropped.

" Oh. "

" ... "

" FIRE! " Vejitto ordered.

" WAHH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! " Brolli let out a cry of terror as the

super-soakers blasted him and he fell to his knees in an overdramatic collapse.

Vejitto and Gogeta burst into giggles and ran past him back to the arcade.

" ... " Brolli suddenly opened one eye, then two. He sat up and sweatdropped, " Hey, they didn't rip apart my

genetical structure, they just got me WET! ERRRRRRRRRRRRRR... " he gritted his teeth and jumped to his feet, " WAIT'LL I GET

MY HANDS ON YOU I'LL RIP YOU BOTH TO SHREDS!! " Brolli yelled as he ran down the hall after them.

" °SCREEEEE° " the fusions screeched to a halt before the open entrence to the arcade.

" KAASAN TOUSSAN! " Gogeta shouted.

" What is it! I'm--WE'RE busy defeating Trunks's high score! " Vegeta said, staring at the screen and rowing along

with Goku.

" Yeah! It is FUN! " Goku grinned.

" MOMMY! You can do that later we have to get you out of here NOW! " Vejitto exclaimed.

" Why? "

" Because he's comin to get you and he's gonna try and steal you away and I don't want to lose my Mommy!!! "

" "He"? " Vegeta paled and felt a shudder through his body. He sensed an increasingly large ki coming towards them

just as the raft crossed the finish-line.

" °WINNER°! °WINNER°! °NEW HIGH SCORE°! "

" YAY WE WON! We beat Trunks and Goten! TOGETHER! " Goku glomped onto Vegeta.

" HA! " Vegeta pointed at Trunks, who folded his arms and looked away in a sulking Veggie-like way of defeat.

" °ENTER NAME° "

" Oooh—— " Goku oohed.

" HA! " Trunks turned back to them, " You won't be able to fit it because neither could Goten and I! "

Vegeta looked at the keys and typed in, " V E G E T A & K A K A Y " then hit enter.

Trunks gawked, " There was an & SIGN!? Where did you find an & sign!? "

" Right here? " Vegeta pointed to the & on the screen that listed the options for letters and symbols.

" Hey, how come Veggie got to go first? " Goku pouted slightly.

" Because "Veggie" likes being on top and is insecure and petrified at the idea of being on the bottom, that's why. "

Vegeta said bluntly.

" Oh! " Goku said, as if enlightened.

" Being on bottom is the kind of thing that gives "Veggie" nightmares. "

" °STOMP° " a pair of heavy feet suddenly came down behind them.

Vegeta sensed the ki and paled, " Speaking of nightmares... "

" VEJITA! I've FOUND you! "

Vegeta cringed and turned around to see Brolli, who had suddenly switched back from killing-machine-bent-on-revenge

against-the-fusions-for-squirting-him to content 'Vejita'-obsessive saiyajin, " Uh, hi. " Vegeta waved nervously at him.

A burst of ki suddenly came from behind him. Goku had jumped to compact oozaru form and was now hissing at Brolli.

" KAKA...RROT...TOOO... " Brolli twitched in pure rage and burst into compact oozaru from as well, only he had bright

green fur as opposed to Goku's pink fur. The larger saiyajin started hissing right back at Goku.

" Oh God... " Vegeta gulped. He turned to his sons, " Trunks, Vejitto, Gogeta, get everyone else in this arcade, OUT,

NOW! "

" Got it! " Gogeta saluted him as they ran deeper into the arcade, grabbed Goten, Parisu, and Bura, and ran back

out.

" YOU.... " Brolli growled at Goku, " What are YOU doing here, KAKARROTTO. "

" I could ask u the very same thing u know! " Goku shouted back at him, his fur standing on end, " And I bet I know!

I bet you're here to try and take my Veggie! "

" And how do you take it he's YOURS huh? Who decided THAT! You don't have any PROOF! " Brolli snapped.

" Umm, Kakarrotto? " Vegeta tapped Goku on the shoulder. The large saiyajin instantly powered down to normal form.

" Yes my favorite little Veggie in the whole wide world? " Goku squealed with big sparkily eyes. Brolli cringed at

the high pitch of Goku's voice.

Vegeta's cheeks turned red, " Ah... "

" Heehee! " Goku picked Vegeta up under his arms, " Come on little Veggie lets go back my room where we'll be safe

from the big meanie and Chi-chan can make us some yummy snacks! "

" Ah... "

" That's my Veggie! " Goku gave him an extra squeeze, then walked off, but not without looking over his shoulder and

blowing a raspberry at Brolli.

" WHY YOU-- " Brolli lundged at Goku, who plugged Vegeta's ears with his fingers and let out a high-pitched

ear-piercing scream.

" EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—————————— "

" AAAAAAAH!! " Brolli wailed in mental agony and fell to the ground in mid-flight, powering back down to normal as he

hit the floor, " Curse you....Kakarotto... " he managed to snarl above the buzzing sound in his head.

" Haha, I win! " Goku laughed and walked down the hall, snuggling the ever-glowing-bright-red little ouji closer to

him, " Mmm——, my Veggie! "

/dl

" And so you brought him here. " Chi-Chi said flatly.

" Yup! " Goku chirped, playing with the glowing Vegeta's hair as he sat on one of the beds while Goten watched tv

from the other, flipping through the channels on the hotel room's remote.

" You should've seen Toussan, Kaasan! " Goten grinned, " He was really brave when he faced off against Brolli. "

" Yeah I can't believe that big meanie's here. " Goku pouted, " Doesn't he know you're not supposed to interupt a

Veggie's vacation without permission from that Veggie. "

" You act as if there's more than one. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped, then froze, " Oh my God there isn't more than one,

is there? "

" No. " Goku chuckled, " Not unless you count Veggie's clone or Veggie's android-look-a-like. Then there'd be 3! "

" Oh yeah...I forgot about the little ouji-droid. " Chi-Chi thought outloud, " Geez whatever happened to HIM? "

" I dunno. " Goku smiled as he played around with Vegeta's shirt and pants.

" HEY! HANDS OFF HIS PANTS! " Chi-Chi snapped and Goku froze, then slowly pulled his hands away, " There's dangerous

things down there ya know! "

" Really? " Goku lifted up the top of the glowing ouji's pants.

" DON'T PEEK AT THEM!! " Chi-Chi yelled again and this time Goku quickly zipped his hand back. She sighed, " Go wash

your hands Goku-san, I don't want you touching any food right after you've touched so much of the Ouji. You get a ouji-germ

in your mouth and you're DONE for! "

" Yes Chi-chan! " Goku nodded politely and walked over to the sink to wash up.

" ... " Goten looked over at Vegeta, then grabbed a nearby pillow and chucked it at his head.

" Oww! " Vegeta exclaimed, snapping out of it and sitting up, " Wait, what the--Kakarrotto? And Brolli? "

" Hahaha, you are safe NOW, Veggie-san! " Goten laughed, " Toussan heroically came to your rescue! "

" Uh...oh. " Vegeta blinked, then smirked over at the larger saiyajin washing his hands, " Thank you, Kakarrotto. "

" Aww, do not mention it little Veggie! I am just happy that you're safe here with us. "

" I wouldn't be too sure about that. " Vegeta snickered at Chi-Chi, who was holding up a large knife.

" I'm done with trying to kill you already! " she sweatdropped, " I'm just cutting some apples. "

" That must be a pretty big apple you're cutting then. " Vegeta chuckled.

Chi-Chi lifted something 3 feet tall out of a paper bag and dropped the heavy object on the table.

" Huh. Whadda ya know. That IS a "pretty big apple". " Vegeta muttered in surprise.

" Goku-san planted an apple tree this spring and somehow they all came out looking like THIS! " Chi-Chi sweatdropped,

pointing to the apple.

" Its enormous! "

" I know. "

" That is be-cause I have a green-thumb, right Chi-chan! " Goku grinned.

" Yup...you sure do. " Chi-Chi poked the apple, slightly uneasy.

" Need "help" cutting it? " Vegeta asked.

" Not from you. " she replied, mock-smiling at him. Vegeta laughed. Chi-Chi held the knife above her head like she

was wielding a sword, " HAAAAAA!! " the knife came down and slice the giant apple in half, " HA HA HA! " she cut more pieces

until the entire apple was back into normal-sized apple slices.

Goku, Vegeta, and Goten applauded her in shock.

" Heh—— " Chi-Chi grinned, proud of herself, " NOW, who wants some apples? "

" ME! "

" ME! " Goku and Goten raised their hands.

Vegeta cleaned out his ears with his fingers; it sounded like he'd just heard Kakarrotto in stereo, " o.O "

" Ouji? "

" I think I'll pass thanks. " he said, walking over to the fridge only to come face to face with a large fish. The

fish was staring at Vegeta with a gaping mouth, " Oh. "

" I caught it this morning! "

" Wha? " the ouji shook his head and looked over at Goku, who was sitting at the kitchen table with Chi-Chi and

Goten.

" The fish, I caught him this morning. " Goku repeated.

" Are you sure its even safe to eat? " Vegeta poked the fish in the head.

" Well we'll find out soon won't we! " the larger saiyajin said cheerfully.

" I have some microwavable food if you want, Ouji. " Chi-Chi shrugged.

" Not planning on cooking anything, are you? " Vegeta smirked.

" Hey, I'm on vacation. I don't plan to do any food preperation more complex than a sandwich on THIS trip. " she

nodded, " That's why we're going out for dinner.

" YEAH! We're getting PIZZA! " Goku grinned.

" Pizza? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow, " Can I come? "

" Why do YOU want to come with us? You're planning something. " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes in suspicion.

" °GASP° PLANNING something? Why Onna, whatever makes you think THAT! " Vegeta said in mock-surprise.

" ... "

" °sigh° Alright, listen. " he groaned, " Brolli's in this building. And we can actually all agree as a group that

we dislike him immensely. "

" Of course he's trying to kill my Goku-san. "

" And he wants to steal my Veggie! "

" Are there anymore apples? "

" Good. Now we also know that Brolli doesn't have the ability to sense ki or teleport. And since he still thinks

Kakarrotto and I are somewhere in the hotel-- "

" --you ARE. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped.

" --then the wisest choice to make would be for us to leave the hotel where we'll be safe from him. " Vegeta

continued on, ignoring Chi-Chi's comment.

Goku opened a can of soda and took a sip, " Mmmm——, sounds GREAT Veggie! "

" So we're taking him WITH us to dinner now? " Chi-Chi twitched.

" Why not? I like Veggie-san. He's cool! " Goten chirped.

Vegeta gave Chi-Chi a big cheesy grin.

" ..."cool", right. " she said flatly.

" Well, in that case I say we get going. " Vegeta smirked, getting up, " Brolli's still on this floor somewhere and

if he finds us.... "

" I get where you're going with it Ouji, come on Goku-san, you can help me find my handbag, we'll teleport there. "

Chi-Chi said, getting up and leaving the room, " OH! Ouji! Is there anyone there for us to teleport TO? "

" Vejitto and Gogeta are going to the boardwalk, we can use them as a target. "

" Ahh. Good. " she said, then went back to searching, " I can't begin to imagine what would happen if we planned

this all out and then ended up having to sneak out of the hotel because you two didn't have a ki to teleport to. "

/dl

" VEJITA! VEJITA! " Brolli shouted as he marched down the hallway on the 10th floor.

" HELLO! "

" ? " Brolli froze in place and struck a defensive position. He whipped around to face Chibi Pan, still in her

one-piece pink bathing-suit only this time holding her floatie as a toy instead of a floatation device. Brolli sweatdropped

at the sheer size of her in comparision to his own.

Pan stared up at him for a moment, then decided to point and chirped, " You're BIG! "

" ...yes. Yes I am. " he sweatdropped, " Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find Vejita and destroy Kakarrotto.

Goodbye. "

" GOOBYE! " Pan squealed in a tone only accomplishable by those genetically-related to Son Goku.

Brolli twitched and walked away.

" ... " Pan stood there, waiting for a moment, then waddling off after the large saiyajin.

" VEJITA! " Brolli flung open another door only to come upon an unused room. He sighed.

" Who's Ve-ji-tah? "

" !!! " Brolli looked over his shoulder and sighed at the chibi, " You still here? "

" I just wanna know. "

" If I tell you will you leave? "

" :D " Pan grinned Son-style.

Brolli sighed, " I'm looking for Vejita. He's a saiyajin, like me. Only Vejita's much smaller and leaner and he has

spiky hair and a v-shaped widows peak and he has a furry brown tail and very dark brown hair and Vejita is so VERY....ah... "

" Pretty? " Pan tilted her head.

" Uh, hai. That works! "

" Huh? " Pan looked up. She suddenly had a kiddie doodlepad in her hands.

" What's that? " Brolli pointed to it.

" My doodles! " she chirped and held the notepad up, " Ojichan makes doodles too but his are MUCH better than mine! "

Brolli looked at the drawings on the paper. Most were scribbles, there were a few animals, and there was another

scribble that sat next to a more advanced drawning.

" That's one Ojichan drew! " Pan pointed to the drawing.

Brolli's jaw dropped at the sight of it. It was a drawing of a plushie-Vegeta, " It's VEJITA! "

Pan looked at the picture and laughed, " Haha, NO, that's Veggie-san! He's Ojichan's very best friend! "

" Veggie? " Brolli said the word as if it were from a foreign language.

/dl

:::" I bet you're here to try and take my Veggie! ":::

/dl

" Kakarrotto... " Brolli gasped, then paused and almost burst into laughter, " Kakarrotto's a, a GRANDPARENT? Ha..ha,

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ah that's RICH! " he looked down at Pan, " Yes, I can only slightly see the relation, but its there. Your

"ojichan"'s name is Kakarrotto, isn't it? "

" Kaka.....OH! That's what Veggie-san calls Ojichan! " she nodded happily.

" Wonderful. " the large saiyajin clasped his hands together, " Say, Kakarrotto's GRAND-DAUGHTER, do you happen to

know which room Kakarrotto is staying in? "

" Umm, " Pan looked down the hallway. All the doors looked exactly the same. The chibi blinked, " Hmm.......I don't

know! " she chirped.

" WAHHHHHHHHHH!!! " Brolli fell over. He lept to his feet and shook his fist, " Why did I even bother asking someone

related to Kakarrotto in the first place. " he grumbled, " VEJITA!! " he flung open the door to the next room. Another empty

one, " °Sigh°! This is pointless...there must be a way to get Vejita's attention faster than this..... " he paused, then

took a deep breath, " VEJITAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! " Brolli screamed at the top of his lungs as he stood with his back to the door

of room 110.

" Oh God...he's right outside the DOOR! " Vegeta gulped, walking away from the door only to backup into a large warm

lump and be scooped up like a plush toy, " °eep°! "

" I won't let the meanie take my Veggie away. " Goku nodded determindly.

" Umm, good for you Kakarrotto! " Vegeta sweatdropped, " Could you let me down now? "

" GOKU-SAN!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HIM!? " Chi-Chi exclaimed, walking back into the room with her handbag.

Vegeta smirked at her, " Can't you tell Onna? Kakay's about to carry me across the threshold. Right Kakay? " he

tugged on Goku's cheek. The larger saiyajin turned bright pink in the face, then promptly dropped Vegeta onto the couch and

dashed off to the bathroom.

" Naughtythoughtsnaughtythoughtsnaughtythoughts! " Goku yelped frantically, slamming the door behind him.

" We should just forget about bringing you with us and chuck you out into that Goku-killing monster's arms right

now! " Chi-Chi complained and pointed to the door, which shook by its hindges for a second, frightning her.

" VEJITA!! ARE YOU IN THERE! "

" You wouldn't DARE. " the ouji smirked.

" Are you challanging me? "

" Maybe I am.... "

" OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH.......°sigh° oh forget it, I can't sacrifice you, it would break Goku-san's heart. " Chi-Chi

relented and flopped down on the couch as well.

" °FWUUUSH°! " the sound of a sink being turned off in the bathroom caught Vegeta and Chi-Chi's attention. Goku

waddled out of the room, his face still slightly flushed.

" You oh-kay, Kakarrotto? " Vegeta asked, concerned.

" Aw, I'm oh-kay. It's just harder to get the naughty thoughts to go away than it used to be, that's all. " Goku

laughed nervously.

Vegeta pulled out a bottle of peasant-repel and sprayed it at Goku, who sweatdropped, " Any better? "

" I am not sure. " Goku blinked.

" VEJITAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! "

" Oooh, somebody's ki is rising VERY fast. " Goten oohed, tilted his head at the shaking front door.

" QUICK! Teleport us NOW! GO GO GO! " Vegeta grabbed onto one of Goku's arms. Chi-Chi grabbed the other and Goten

grabbed Goku's tail.

" Off we go! " Goku happily exclaimed and teleported them out of sight just as Brolli burst into the room.

" AH-HAH!......ohhh. " he pouted at the empty room, " Vejita isn't here....yet his scent freshly lingers in this

room as though he'd suddenly decided to escape. " Brolli folded his arms and walked into the room, then stuck his head

through the open window in the bedroom, " HAH--- "

" ... " there was nothing flying around outside for miles except for a few seagulls.

" ---KUSOOO...he's escaped again! That bawling baka probably teleported him somewhere!....I need to start learning

how to do that. " Brolli turned to leave only to trip over a small hidden backpack, " OOF! " he landed on his chest.

" °squeak°squeak°squeak°squeak°! " the sound of several squeaks at once came from the backpack. Brolli sat up and

dusted himself off.

" Hmm, I wonder what THIS could be... " he opened the backpack and let out a gasp, " Vejita plushies....adorable

squishy little Vejita plushies, there's got to be at least a dozen of them in here! " the large saiyajin beamed, then took

one out, " And they all have unique individual little outfits!! Where did they COME from? "

/dl

" MY VEGGIE PLUSHIES!!! " Goku shrieked in horror.

The entire population of the Pizzaria turned their attention to him.

" Goku-san! " Chi-Chi sweatdropped, embarassed, " Be quiet. " she whispered, " The pizza'll be here soon anyway. "

" What Veggie plushies? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow at the saiyajin sitting next to him. Across from them in the booth

were Chi-Chi and Goten.

" The ones I made from scratch who keep me comfort in times of sadness and fear when my real Veggie is unable to be

there so I could hug him and hold him and make all the scary stuff in my head and Veggie's head disappear. " Goku gulped,

worried.

" ...oh. " Vegeta said, uneasy. He looked over at Chi-Chi.

" Hey, better to let him have plush toys then worry about him seeking YOU out for comfort whenever he's depressed. "

she shrugged.

" ... " the ouji turned back to Goku, " Exactly how many of these "plush toys" do you have total, Kakarrotto? "

" 30. "

" WHAT?! " his face turned bright red.

" But I only brought 12 of them with me! And they're only 6 inches tall. " Goku held up 6 fingers.

" I can't believe this. " Vegeta mumbled in shock.

" I brought with me Pajama-Veggie, Gi-Veggie, Partytime-Veggie, Snacktime-Veggie, Surfs-up-Veggie,

Royal-saiyajin-armor-Veggie, Superhero-Veggie, Hug-me-Veggie, Bathtime-Veggie, Sleepy-Veggie, Kiss-the-Cook-Veggie, and

Regular-Veggie. " Goku rattled off the names of the plushies he'd made, " I even brought my little me plushie! " he whipped

out a Goku plushie wearing an orange gi, " It helps get rid of bad thoughts when you use plushies to act out how you feel. "

he handed the Goku-plushie to Vegeta.

" Hmmmm——, how VERY interesting. " Vegeta smirked at the Goku plushie. Chi-Chi paled.

" You keep your hands off it, Ouji. " she narrowed her eyes.

" Yeah I'd like to, but you see, I have bad thoughts I need to act out..using this plushie. " he grinned, then had

the Goku-plushie waddle over to a small packet of ketchup and pick it up.

" Aww! Veggie that's so cute! " Goku gushed.

" Open wide. " the ouji said in a teasing voice. Goku opened his mouth and Vegeta squeezed the plushies arms

together around the packet, causing the ketchup to squirt out and fire into Goku's mouth where the larger saiyajin swallowed

it whole.

" MMM! " Goku smiled.

Vegeta smiled back.

" ♥ "

" ! " Vegeta's face flushed red.

" Pizza! " the waitress said and set down a large pizza infront of the quartet, then left.

" I...guess we should get to eating now. "

" ♥ "

" Haha...yup. "

The larger saiyajin leaned over towards him, " I luv u Veggie——— " Goku said as if in a daze, " Veggie's my absolute

favorite. "

" Your "favorite" what? "

" My ♥FAVORITE♥. "

" ... "

" Heh-heh-heh. " Chi-Chi chuckled at the nervous Vegeta.

Vegeta let out a small snort at her, then whipped out a small thesaurus, " Favorite, favorite, favorite---AH!

::Favorite - Noun: Pet, Darling, Choice, Preference. Adj: Prefered, Pet, Much Loved, Beloved, Most Wanted, Desired.::. "

Vegeta sweatdropped, " Great, it starts with "pet" and ends with "desired". " he muttered, " Hmm. " the ouji turned around

only to yelp and come almost nose-to-tip of a slice of pizza.

" Veggie needs to eat! " Goku said cheerfully.

Vegeta watched the little kaka-germs that had been on Goku's hand squiggle around ontop of the pizza sweetly eating

up tidbits of cheese and purring softly, " Ah, ya know what Kakarrotto I'll cut my own slice, thanks. " he laughed nervously,

then took a piece still on the plate and started to eat.

" You know Ouji, Goku plays games with his Ouji-plushies all the time. " Chi-Chi started out in a mock-innocent tone.

" What °chew° kinds of games? " Vegeta asked while eating.

" Oh, °chew° all kinds. "

" SHH! " Goku gave a her a shhing sign.

" What? What was that? " the ouji looked back and forth between Goku and Chi-Chi.

" Alright Goku-san I won't tell him. " Chi-Chi smiled at the larger saiyajin, who wagged his tail, " It's none of the

Ouji's business anyway. "

Vegeta looked over at Goku and shifted uneasily, then continued to eat his pizza.

" Behold, Goggie, the BOARDWALK! " Vejitto exclaimed happily as they stood just outside the Pizzaria.

" WOW... " Gogeta's eyes widened in awe, " It is so shiny and large! "

" And somewhere on that boardwalk is an arcade in which we will be able to trade our tickets for AMAZING prizes! "

Vejitto nodded.

" I do enjoy amazing prizes, Jitto. " Gogeta said happily, then whipped out a capsule and tossed it to the ground to

reveal the Fusion-Mobile. He hopped into the front passanger's seat and Vejitto got behind the wheel, then drove up onto the

boardwalk.

" Hmm, no vehicles beyond this point. " Vejitto read a sign outloud as he passed it.

" Aww, that means US, doesn't it Jitto? " Gogeta pouted.

Vejitto sighed, " Yes it does. " they passed by a tramcar parked at the end of the boardwalk, " Unless.... "

/dl

" WATCH THE TRAMCAR PLEASE! WATCH THE TRAMCAR! " Gogeta shouted through the megaphone as paraded back and forth

between the 5 empty carts the fusions had borrowed. They had placed a large sticker reading "TRAMCAR" over the Fusion-Mobile

logo, " WATCH IT! WATCH!! " Gogeta took the megaphone down and poked his head in the back of the Fusion-Mobile, " I LIKE

using megaphones, Jitto. It's fun yet it gives me an added feeling of, " he held the megaphone infront of his face, " POWER.

Heeheehee. "

Vejitto glanced out the window, " Hey look! It's an arcade! " he stopped the Fusion-Mobile.

Gogeta red the arcade's title, " Ed's Funcade 2. " he paused for a moment, then broke into a grin, " This is it!

That's the name of the arcade Goten's girl friend--not to be confused with girlfriend--told us we could bring our tickets! "

" HOORAY! "

" HOORAY! " they both cheered.

" ...but where do I park? " Vejitto sweatdropped, looking around the boardwalk.

" We could just leave the Fu--ah, TRAMCAR here. " Gogeta said the word loudly to make it appear true.

" Alright then! " Vejitto took the keys out and left the Fusion-Mobile on the boardwalk. Gogeta followed him out and

they entered the arcade. Unbeknownst to the fusions, people began getting on the carts they had attached to the back of the

truck and sitting down.

" WOW, she was right, it DOES look a lot bigger than the one in the hotel. " Vejitto said in awe.

" Oooooh, vir-tual reality. " Gogeta grabbed a pair of chunky-looking glasses.

Vejitto tilted his head at Gogeta. The dance fusion dug his hands in his pants pockets, then frowned and pulled the

glasses off, " No more quarters? "

" No more quarters. "

And with that they walked back to the counter.

" Here to turn your tickets or coins in? " the woman behind the counter asked them.

" Yup! That we are! " Vejitto said cheerfully, " Goggie? "

Gogeta tossed the capsule onto the table to reveal their massive collection of orange tickets. The woman's eyes

nearly popped out of her head.

" Ah, right. I'll get right on it. " she took the tickets and and placed them onto a scale which read the number of

tickets and weight, " 70,000 TICKETS?! " the woman gasped.

" Is that good? " Gogeta asked anxiously.

" Umm, young men, the highest prize value we have in the arcade is 50,000 tickets. " she sweatdropped.

" We'll take it! " Vejitto grinned, " ...what is it? "

/dl

" WOW that's a BIG tv, Jitto. "

" Yeah, but its OUR big tv! " Vejitto carried the gigantic tv over his shoulders as they left the arcade, " Goggie

could you capsulize it for me, I don't think we'll be able to fit it in the Fusio---TRAMCAR. "

" Oh-kay! " Gogeta tossed the capsule at the tv and capsulized it, " There! Nice and snug! " he put the capsule in

his pocket and hopped in the passanger's seat. Vejitto got in and adjusted the mirror.

" Uh-oh. Goggie I think we have passangers. "

" Hm? " Gogeta looked back. The people all held up 5 dollar bills. Gogeta whipped out his megaphone, " WATCH THE

TRAMCAR! " he shouted at them.

" ... " the people blinked, their hair and clothes now windblown.

Gogeta sat back down in his seat and smiled content, " My job here is done. "

" Maybe they think we're a REAL tramcar, Goggie. " Vejitto suggested.

" °GASP° You mean they will pay us MONEY to drive down further a-cross the boardwalk? " he gasped in surprise.

" Mmm-hmm! " Vejitto nodded, smirking, " And we could use the money we get from driving these people to buy tickets

to ride THAT! " he pointed to a gigantic red roller-coaster in the distance. Those on the roller-coaster carts when down

the slope screaming at the top of their lungs.

" It is BEAUTIFUL, Jitto. " Gogeta sniffled with joy.

" That it is Goggie. " Vejitto clasped his hands together, " Well, LET'S GO! " he pumped his fist in the air, " Will

you please co-llect our 5 dollar fee, Mr. Megaphone Operator? "

" I would be HAPPY to, Mr. TRAMCAR driver. " Gogeta turned around, then spotted two ice-cream police near the last

cart, " Eep! " he burst into ssj and put a pair of large sunglasses on, then started taking the money from those in the

carts, " Thank you, enjoy the ride. Thank YOU enjoy the ride. Thank you enjoy the RIDE? "

/dl

" Hmmhmhmm, hmmhmmhmm. ALL WILL BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GREAT BROLLI-SAMA! " Brolli exclaimed, tapping one of the

small Vegeta-plushies on the back and causing a domino effect that sent all 12 of them falling onto their bellies, " Heh-heh

heh. Oh that's so cute. "

" There he is, Aunt Bulma. There's the big man who's looking for Veggie-san! " a voice chirped behind Brolli, who

looked over his shoulder to see Bulma standing in the doorway along with chibi Pan.

" YOU SQUEALED! " he pointed at Pan accusingly.

" Huh? "

Brolli then glanced up to see Bulma, " Oh, its you. You're Vejita's WIFE, aren't you. "

" Technically we're not married, but we do have 3 children together if that's what you mean. " Bulma said, then

raised and eyebrow, " Are those Vegeta DOLLS? "

" They're plushies, not dolls. See how they squeak. " Brolli held one up and squeezed it.

" °SQUEEEAK°! " the plushie squealed.

" Did you...make those? "

" No, I found them in a backpack in this room. " he held up the backpack which on the back red in big childish

letters "Property of Son Goku".

" ...oh dear. "

" So! Who makes them and where do I buy more! " Brolli demanded them.

" I don't think you buy those. " Bulma picked one of the plushies up, " Why is this one wearing only a fuzzy blue

towel? "

" Oh, that's Bathtime-Vejita, it says so on his tag. " Brolli pointed to a tag on the back-foot of the plushie.

" He put TAGS on them?! " Bulma gawked.

" It even came with this cute little tub! Look! " he held up a small porcelain bathtub.

" That's....nice. " Bulma nervously sat the plushie in the empty tub.

" °squeak°! " the Vegeta-plushie squeaked happily.

" I enjoy them so. " the large saiyajin stared at the plushies in a daze.

" Looks like I'm going to have to have another talk with Son-kun. " Bulma sighed, " What's with you guys and Vegeta

anyway? "

" You wouldn't understand, blue-hairred human-woman who has sex with Vejita. " Brolli shrugged it off and stood up.

Bulma sweatdropped, " I AM a genius you know, if I can break apart the rules of time and space I can certainly

understand YOUR problem. "

" My PROBLEM is that Vejita keeps avoiding me! And running away! "

" That's because you frighten him. "

" KAKARROTTO looms over Vejita all the time and Vejita doesn't avoid HIM! " Brolli ranted. Bulma backed out the door,

hoping he wouldn't get any angrier.

" Well, Son-kun and Vegeta have a long and slightly unusual relationship with each other. Vegeta barely knows you. "

" Hmm...you're right. Vejita DOES barely know me. I should send him a letter asking him out and we could sit down

somewhere and talk until he no longer barely knows me at all! BRILLIANT! " he shook Bulma's hand. He grabbed a piece of paper

and wrote something down on it in saiyago, " I'm going to deliver this to Vejita RIGHT NOW! Thanks blue-hairred mate to

Vejita! " he waved to Bulma and ran off.

Bulma stood there as Brolli happily dashed to the elevator and got in, " ... "

" °DING°! " the elevator closed and lowered Brolli down.

Bulma sweatdropped, " I should go call Vegeta and warn him about this. " she took out her cellphone.

" Haha! TOYS! " Pan glomped Party-time-Veggie; who had on a little party-hat and a noisemaker in his hands. He wore

a pair of baggy pants and a t-shirt which read "Let's Party!" in big bubble-letters, " They're so soft and they squeak when

you hug them! "

" Yup. " Bulma picked Bathtime-Veggie back up, " Maybe I should ask to talk to Son-kun too while I'm at it. "

/dl

" That was YUMMY pizza, huh! " Goku said happily as he, Chi-Chi, Vegeta, and Goten left the pizzaria.

" Hey where'd Vejitto and Gogeta go? " Goten asked.

" Who knows. " Chi-Chi shrugged.

" They probably went to go change their tickets in for a prize. " Vegeta replied, then watched the taller rides in

the distance. There was a giant ferris wheel and a huge roller-coaster, " Hmm. This could be interesting. " he smirked.

" What? " Chi-Chi asked suspiciously.

" Oh, nothing. "

The group started to walk towards and onto the boardwalk.

" Onna how do you feel about roller-coasters? " Vegeta said innocently.

" Why do you ask? " she narrowed her eyes.

" Oh, no reason. " a thought bubble appeared over the ouji's head with him, Goku, and Chi-Chi on a roller-coaster.

The coaster went upside-down and Chi-Chi fell out the top as it turned back over. Vegeta pointed and laughed as the coaster

went down another ramp, " Heh-heh-heh. "

" Veggie that's not very nice. " Goku sweatdropped.

Vegeta promptly popped his thought-bubble, " You could see that? "

" I can see ALL, Veggie. " Goku's eyes widened super-wide on the world "ALL".

" Ah, hehheh. " Vegeta laughed nervously, " Right. " they walked past a water-gun game, " Hey Kakarrotto? Wanna-- "

" OHVEGGIELOOKITSSOCUTE! " Goku gushed already at the stand and staring sparkily-eyed at a giant plush teddy-bear.

" What are you going to do with that if you win it? You'll only play with it til we get home and then it'll be

stuffed in storage and forgotten. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped.

" But its so CUTE!! "

" °sigh° Why do I bother? "

" I can win that stuffed toy for you, Kakay. " Vegeta boasted.

" —♥Really, Veggie♥—? " Goku stared at the ouji in awe and wonder.

Vegeta's face turned red, " Ah, yeah. Of course I can. It'll be easy. " he looked down the row to see the rest of the

people at the station and chuckled, " VERY easy. " he sat down at booth number 1 and handed the worker at the stand a dollar.

" RACERS! " another worker, this one with a microphone, shouted, " ON YOUR MARK! AT THE SOUND OF THE BELL THE RACE

WILL BEGIN! °DING°! "

With that water burst out of the guns and shot at the targets causing a long line of miniture plastic boats to move

across to the other side.

" You can do it Veggie! GO GO GO! I KNOW YOU CAN WIN! " Goku cheered Vegeta on. The ouji grinned.

/dl

" I KNEW YOU COULD WIN! Thank you SO MUCH Veggie! " Goku gushed, glomping the large stuffed bear. Vegeta beamed

with pride and Chi-Chi just rolled her eyes.

Goten paused as they passed a fudge shop. A girl stood outside with a tray full of fudge.

" Try a free sample? " she offered.

" Oh-kay! " Goten chirped and promptly took the tray and walked off, eating as he caught up to the others.

" ... " the girl stood there for a second, then sweatdropped, " This is not my day. HEY GET BACK HERE! "

" Mmmm———— " Goten sighed happily.

" Goten where'd you get that?! " Chi-Chi gawked.

" It's a free sample, Kaasan! Try some! " Goten happily held out the tray only to be bopped on the head, " OWW! " he

rubbed his head and looked up to see the fudge shop girl. She grabbed the tray from him and walked back to her post.

" Crazy tourist.. " she grumbled.

" What was that all about? " Goku tilted his head.

" I dunno. " Goten shrugged and they continued on.

/dl

" OOOOOOOOOH, now THAT looks FUN! "

" I don't think so, Goku-san. "

The group was now standing infront of a bungee ride in which two people were strapped to a bungee connected to two

very long and very tall poles. The bungee would be released and send them flying upward, then down, upsidedown, and in all

different directions until it slowed to a halt.

" Please Chi-chan I bet you'll like it once you try! " Goku pleaded.

" No! Besides I'm sure there's a very good reason why it has such a short line. It's probably dangerous. " she

nodded.

" I'll come with you on the ride Kakay. " Vegeta spoke up.

" !? " Chi-Chi opened her mouth.

" OH-KAY! " Goku gushed, picking the ouji up under the arms and walking over to the small line infront of the ride.

He rubbed Vegeta's back while waiting, " Mmmm——— "

Vegeta grinned evilly at Chi-Chi from the line and rubbed Goku in return, " Mmmm——— "

Chi-Chi twitched, " Evil little Ouji.... "

" Excuse me sir? "

" Huh? " Goku looked over to see a man standing next to the ticket booth.

" Your...companion isn't tall enough to go on this ride. " he motioned to Vegeta.

" WHAT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT TALL ENOUGH!? " Vegeta exclaimed, then hopped out of Goku's grasp and landed

infront of the the cardboard cut-out of a large ruler. The ouji's head was just below the red line. Vegeta twitched, " Wait!

What about the hair? "

" Hair doesn't count. "

" KUSO... " he snorted, " Well it should. "

" Aw, its oh-kay Veggie. " Goku patted him on the shoulders comfortingly, " I'm sure SOMEONE will come ride with me.

" he looked over at Chi-Chi w/big sparkily eyes.

" ACK!? I told you I'm not riding that! Just look at--- " Chi-Chi suddenly noticed the smug look of confidence on

Vegeta's face. She glared at him and turned back to Goku, " --of COURSE I'll go on the ride with you Goku-san, because I love

you and, unlike the Ouji, I fit the ride's height-requirements! " she patted Goku's hand only to be instantly glomped.

" THANK U CHI-CHAN! " Goku squeezed tightly and let go, Chi-Chi gasping for air, " I do not know WHAT I would do if I

had to go on the ride all alone. "

Chi-Chi looked over at the ride uneasily. It looked like a giant reconstruction of a child's slingshot, " Yeah...I

wouldn't want you to be lonely up there... "

" Have fun Onna! I'll be over here watching from a safe distance incase the ride collapses! " Vegeta said cheerfully,

walking back over to where Goten stood. A vein bulged on Chi-Chi's forehead, " Heh-heh, this'll certainly be interesting to

watch. " he looked over as the worker strapped Goku and Chi-Chi onto the ride, " Eh Kaka-spawn? " he looked over to see

Goten no longer there and instead Brolli standing a foot away and waving to the ouji. Vegeta paled and glanced out of the

corner of his eye at Goten who now had a lump on his head and was lying on the ground unconsious, " Uh....hi. "

" Hi Vejita. " Brolli smirked, hovering over the little ouji, " I wrote you a letter. " he held it out. Vegeta

cautiously reached out and took it from him, then opened it to see the letter was written in saiyago.

" "Dear Vejita, I would like to take you to a place of dining so we could get to know each other better.". " he

translated into english as he read, " Huh. But why would you write the letter if you were going to personally deliver it to

me in the first place where you could've instead just asked me in person. "

" Simple. " Brolli said innocently, then twisted his smirk into an evil grin, " I needed to get you distracted

SOMEHOW! " he grabbed the ouji under one arm and ran off.

" °ACK°!? WHAT THE---WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? LET GO!!! "

" WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! " Goku squealed as he and Chi-Chi flung back and forth on the ride.

" Haha..ha...this is actually pretty fun. " Chi-Chi laughed, then saw something large running away below them, " Hey!

Goku-san look its Brolli! AND HE KNOCKED OUT OUR SON!! " she fumed, seeing Goten unconsious, " ...oh, and took the Ouji. "

she said as if it were nothing important.

" HE'S GOT MY VEGGIE?! " Goku gasped, then turned to her, " Come on Chi-chan! We have to stop him! "

" And how are we going to do that? We're stuck on this ride! "

" Hee— hold on tight! " the large saiyajin smiled.

" ...what do you mea--AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! " Chi-Chi screamed as Goku burst into ssj, ripping the ropes tied to

their bungee and sending them hurtling forward towards the boardwalk. Just before they hit the pavement Goku and Chi-Chi

screeched to a halt, hovering themselves inches above it.

" °whew° "

" °whew°"

" ...that was FUN! " Goku grinned, getting out of the bungee. He powered back down to normal and suddenly got a

determined look on his face, " Come Chi-chan! Let's go stop that big meanie and save my Veggie! "

" Alright. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped at the look on Goku's face, " But do you mind if we help Goten first? "

" Hm? OH! Sure! We cannot just leave him alone and unconsious on the side of the boardwalk! Tramcars will run all

over him! " Goku said, helping Chi-Chi help Goten to his feet.

/dl

" WOW Jitto! $140 dollars just for one tramcar ride! " Gogeta and Vejitto surveyed the money they'd collected. They

had stopped the disguised Fusion-Mobile; carts still attached, infront of the part of the boardwalk with the gigantic red

roller-coaster.

" Just think how much we'll make if we do this all week! " Vejitto grinned.

" But what would we do with all that money? "

" ...I don't know. " Vejitto blinked, confused, " But I DO know that some of it is going towards THAT! " he pointed

to the roller-coaster just as one of its carts rushed by, screaming and causing the fusions to be temporarily windblown.

" It will be an enjoyable time for all! " Gogeta nodded happily, then felt a tap on his back, " Hm? " he looked over

and gasped, " BROLLI! "

" GASP! " Vejitto gasped.

" Yes, hello children of —♥Vejita♥— and #KAKARROTTO#. " he almost snarled the name out, " Do you happen to know of

any nearby quiet resturants around here were people can have enlightning conversations with each other? "

" Who are you conversing with? " Gogeta tilted his head.

" And what's behind your back? " Vejitto pointed to Brolli's arms, both of which were holding Vegeta behind him.

" Nothing. " he replied shortly.

" I do not know, I think its definately SOMETHING. " Vejitto nodded.

" OR someONE. " Gogeta added.

Brolli backed up, " Itsnonenofyourbusiness! Now please point me in the direction of a resturant. "

" Why, are you hungry? " Gogeta asked.

" There's an Ice Cream Orbs stand a few feet from here. " Vejitto chirped.

" It's called "The Ice Cream of the FUTURE". " Gogeta grinned.

" VEGGIE-THIEF!!! " a voice shouted out in the distance and Vejitto and Gogeta could see Goku and Chi-Chi running

towards them, something large hanging over Chi-Chi's back.

" Errr.. " Brolli growled in annoyance, then rushed past the fusions and into the area containing the group of rides

the two had been staring at.

" OOOH! " Goku sped after him, bursting into ssj.

Chi-Chi noticed the fusions, " What are doing just standing there! The Ouji's in danger! "

" Chi-Chi is that Goten on your back? " Vejitto pointed to him.

" I bet Onna hit him. " Gogeta sweatdropped.

" I DIDN'T HIT HIM! Brolli knocked him unconsious so he wouldn't try to stop him. " Chi-Chi explained.

" OH! "

" NOW HURRY UP AND HELP! " she shouted and started to run off.

" WAIT! "

Chi-Chi paused and turned around to see Vejitto with his hand out. He pulled his other hand out of his pocket to

reveal a small remote. He pointed and aimed it at the disguised Fusion-Mobile, then pressed a button. The Fusion-Mobile

undisguised itself, then a gigantic rocket popped out either side of the former ice-cream-truck and the truck itself became

3 times bigger.

" It'll make MUCH more sense if you ride in the Fusion-Mobile with us, running with Goten on your back like that's

just gonna slow you down anyway! " Vejitto grinned.

Chi-Chi looked over at the 'transformed' Fusion-Mobile, " Well, I guess so. It looks safe and it can't be any worse

than that ride I was on before was at the beginning. "

The fusions grinned at her.

" :) "

/dl

" WAHHHHHHHH!! THIS IS WORSE! MUCH MUCH WORSE!! " Chi-Chi held tight onto her chair next to Goten in the 2nd Row

that had popped up in the vehicle, " WHY do we need to go so fast anyway?! "

" To be able to keep up with Toussan and Brolli of course. " Vejitto nodded.

Chi-Chi managed to get out of her chair and stumble to her feet against the force pushing on them from in front. She

looked out the main window to see Goku zipping and chasing Brolli across the sky, Brolli still having a tight hold on Vegeta,

" What made him randomly snap and decide to just take the Ouji anyway? "

" Brolli said something about taking Toussan out to a resturant to talk. " Gogeta tried to remember.

" Oh. "

" ... "

" But what does that have to do with kidnapping him? " Vejitto pondered.

" Maybe... " Chi-Chi started out, still thinking it over, " Maybe he saw Goku-san on the ride and panicked. "

" HAAAAA! " Goku flew at Brolli, who dodged. Vegeta had burst into ssj2 and was currently trying to pull himself

free.

The little ouji took a deep breath and just as Goku flew at them from the other direction slid downwards out from

against the largest saiyajin's side and gasped for air, " °WHEW°! "

" VEJITA! "

" VEGGIE? "

" ATTENTION! " all three saiyajin froze, " THIS IS THE WILDWOOD BEACH POLICE! YOU ARE CAUSING A DANGER TO THOSE

AROUND YOU. PLEASE LAND IMMEDIANTLY AND LEAVE THIS AREA OR WE WILL BE FORCED TO ESCORT YOU OUT. "

" Uh.... " Brolli blinked at the large hovering device.

" Helicopter. " Vegeta said flatly.

" OH! "

" Come on Kakarrotto, let's go. I have a feeling I'm going to need to clean up after this. " Vegeta hovered near

the larger saiyajin.

" Oh-kay Veggie! " Goku chirped, then paused, " I wonder who reported us anyway? "

/dl

" So it was you, huh? " 2 hours had passed. Vegeta had had a 2nd shower and was now in the kitchen of their 'room'

with Bulma. Goku, Chi-Chi and Goten had gone back to the hotel as well--just to be safe. The fusions flew Vegeta home and

were currently going through the kitchen Vegeta and Bulma were in looking for snacks. Brolli, embarassed, sat outside the

elevators on the 10th floor.

" Well after he left to go find you I knew it couldn't be good; so I followed him. I didn't call the police until

AFTER he kidnapped you though. " Bulma explained. She sighed, " I'm not sure which one has the bigger emotional issues;

Brolli or Son-kun! "

" What's wrong with Kakarrotto? " Vegeta blinked.

" When Pan showed me the most-recent room Brolli had broken in to, I found him playing with these. " she pulled out

a small backpack and emptied it onto the table. Vegeta's eyes widened.

" Cool! Little mommy plushies! " Vejitto poked one.

" °squeak°! " the plushie squeaked.

" Haha. "

" I'm guessing these are the 12 of the 30 me-plushies Kakarrotto mentioned at the pizzaria, huh. " Vegeta picked

Pajama-Veggie up.

" I worry about him, Vegeta. It's not normal for someone to make 30 plushies like this! And they're all of YOU! "

" Kakarrotto is simply honoring me by creating small plush items in my image, that's all. Just some peasant-gratitude

for my brilliant ruling abilites. " Vegeta boasted.

" You don't really believe that. " she said flatly.

The ouji groaned, " No....but what am I SUPPOSED to think seeing all these--or even hearing about them! Onna said he

plays GAMES with them! "

" What KIND of games? "

He sat back in his seat, " Oh I don't know! She stopped after there, Kakarrotto was afraid she'd continue and she

decided not to figuring my imagination would make it appear even worse in my mind than what probably DOES happen with them. "

" Hey everybody! " Bura left the bathroom in a one-piece navy bathing-suit, " I heard you and Kakarroujo had a scare

earlier, Toussan. "

" No more so than usual. " Vegeta sighed.

" Well I've decided to help Kakarroujo feel better by taking him to the hotel's spa! After all Brolli was so mean to

Kakarroujo earlier; trying to steal you--of course I know that Brolli could never accomplish that because even if he's

the strongest, Toussan here's a genius and he can get out of ANYTHING that big guy tries to throw his way! " she boasted.

" Your faith in me is admirable. " Vegeta smirked, " However, like I said before I doubt you'll get Kakarrotto to go

with you to the spa. "

" Ah, but there's where you're wrong, Toussan. Before, Kakarroujo didn't really have a reason; but now he does! He'll

feel he has a better chance than the other guy if I help him get all clean and nice-smelling! "

" Ya think so, huh? "

" I KNOW so! " Bura smiled, then headed for the door, " See you later! "

" Bye Bura. " Bulma waved.

" Goodluck. " Vegeta chuckled.

Bura grinned and left, closing the door behind her.

/dl

" Goku-san I'm sure the Ouji's oh-kay now, you don't have to keep peeking out the window like that. " Chi-Chi

sweatdropped. Goku had his face smushed against the window that led to the hallway. He stared at Brolli suspiciously. Brolli

noticed Goku and stuck his tongue out in protest. Goku replied by sticking his tongue out as well, " Well you can't say it

ever gets boring around here. " she said dryly.

" No it doesn't! " Goten grinned, bouncing up and down on one of the beds. He had woken up on the way back to the

hotel but now had a large bandaid on the spot of his head Brolli had hit him.

" Are you SURE you're alright, Goten? Brolli hit you pretty hard if he knocked you out. " Chi-Chi asked him, worried.

" Oh I'm fine! The spot he hit me at's still really sore and it aches when you touch it but other than that I'm

fine. " he nodded.

" Hm. " Chi-Chi walked over to the window where Goku and Brolli were currently making faces at each other from across

the hall, " Ya know if I were immature enough I would help you make faces at him, Goku-san. "

" ? " Goku looked over at her.

" But I'm not, so instead I'll just glare menacingly at him. "

" Oh-kay! " Goku chirped.

" ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪ ♪ " Bura whistled as she left the room and walked down the hall. Her whistling slowed down once

she saw Brolli making faces and then stopped whistling altogether after seeing Goku making faces back at him while Chi-Chi

glowered at the largest saiyajin. She knocked on the door and Goku opened it, his tongue still sticking out, " Did I come at

a bad time? " Bura sweatdropped, pointing to Brolli out in the hall. Goku stopped making faces.

" Oh hi Bura. " he said as she came in, closing the door behind her, " What are you doing here? "

" Oh I was just taking a little walk, you know, normal everyday things. " she rattled off unassumingly, " Kakarroujo

how'd you like to go to the hotel's spa with me? " Bura asked bluntly.

" °Gasp°! Bura I couldn't! I have to stay on this floor and protect my little Veggie from the big meanie! " he shook

his head.

Bura looked out the door at Brolli a moment, who had stopped making faces as well and was currently looking like he

was trying to hear their conversation through the door, " Oh come on Kakarroujo! Toussan's so strong and smart he can take

care of himself! Besides if he needs any help, you and Toussan's fusion-babies are in the room with him. "

/dl

" Hahaha! Hey Goggie look at me! " Vejitto laughed as he stood next to the giant tv they had won and plugged in. On

the screen was a virtual Vejitto from the Budoukai 3 game they were playing.

Gogeta looked at his equal-in-size-due-to-the-largeness-of-the-tv-screen digital self, " WOW! It is like looking in a

mirror--only a digital mirror! " he and his virtual self waved to each other simultaneously, " Hello Gogeta! "

" Hello Gogeta! " the digital Gogeta replied.

" Heehee, it knows your name. " Vejitto giggled.

/dl

" Yup! With them on the job Toussan'll be JUST FINE! " Bura nodded.

" I guess so... " Goku trailed off, " But I worry about Veggie so much! And I really thought Brolli was gonna take

him away FOREVER earlier today! "

" Well you shouldn't worry, it'll give you wrinkles. "

" Huh. Even I know that. " Chi-Chi chuckled.

" So will you come? " Bura asked Goku excitedly.

" It won't HURT, will it? " he looked nervous.

" No it won't hurt. It'll be comfortable. The entire point of going to a spa is to get you to relax! Now come on! "

Bura grabbed Goku by the wrist.

" Chi-chan? " Goku glanced over at Chi-Chi for her opinion.

" As long as it doesn't involve the Ouji I can't see any harm in you going. Just don't do anything drastic. " Chi-Chi

said.

Goku looked back at Bura, " And Veggie'll be oh-kay? "

Bura sweatdropped, " Toussan can handle himself. He's very independent! "

" But not so independent that Veggie does not need me, right? "

" Hai! Toussan needs you VERY MUCH, Kakarroujo. You brighten his day like the sun does the earth. " she grinned.

" WOW, that sounds so pretty--did Veggie really say that a-bout me? " the larger saiyajin's eyes sparkled.

" Uh, yes! Yes he did! Infact Toussan told me that about you right before I left. " Bura smirked.

" OH VEGGIE! " Goku clasped his hands together and gushed happily.

" That's right, encourage him. " Chi-Chi muttered, annoyed.

" Umm, come on Kakarroujo, let's go before she changes her mind! " Bura pulled the still-dazed Goku out of the room

and closed the door.

Chi-Chi sighed, " OH! " she suddenly realized and poked her head out the door, " Bura! Goku-san! Take the stairs! "

" Huh? " Bura blinked and looked over to see Brolli standing up infront of the elevators he had been sitting against

earlier, " Ah, yeah. Thanks. This way Kakarroujo. " she dragged Goku back in the other direction, " I'd rather not have you

confronting him right now without Toussan to help you. "

" But I can beat Brolli. I know I can! " Goku nodded.

" That's good, but we're not going to fight him now. Now we're going to help you relax. "

" Oh-kay.... "

/dl

" WOW. It's so...big. " Goku said in awe as they stood in the doorway to the spa.

" I KNOW! " Bura gushed excitedly.

" Say why did you have us take the stairs and then come back up again if you knew the spa was on the same floor as

our rooms? " Goku asked her.

" I had to trick Brolli so he wouldn't try and follow us, of course. " Bura nodded thoughtfully, then grabbed Goku's

wrist, " Now let's go sign you up for something! "

Goku blinked, " Sign me up? "

" Hey there! " Bura said happily to the worker behind the counter.

" Oh! Miss Briefs you're back. Hello. " she said to Bura, then smiled, " This must be the one you were telling me

about; "Kakarroujo"? "

" It's, Kakarrotto actually. " Goku laughed nervously.

Bura zipped over to the worker and whispered to her, " Listen up. Kakarroujo over there's got some fierce

competition for Toussan's affections, we need to give him the works! "

The worker looked past Bura over at Goku, who was fiddling with his tail; confused, " He looks like he's got the

potential.......sure Miss Briefs. "

Bura smirked, " Heehee, GREAT! "

/dl

" Hey Toussan? Wanna come play? This game's really cool life-sized! " Gogeta chirped as he and Vejitto sat infront of

the tv, rapidly pressing buttons and firing digital ki-blasts at each other.

" Maybe later.... " Vegeta trailed off, sitting at the kitchen table with his head leaning on his folded arms.

" Aww, you're worried about Toussan, aren't you, Mommy? It's oh-kay, Bura creeps me out too. " Vejitto comforted him

while still keeping his fingers moving on the controller.

" She doesn't creep me out. " Gogeta tilted his head, confused.

" That's cuz she tries to bribe you with food. " Vejitto shrugged.

" I think it bothers you because Bura's ideas of who should be in what parental 'role' conflict with your own. "

Vegeta said to Vejitto, still sitting there.

" Huh. " Vejitto blinked, " Maybe that's only part of it. Either way she still creeps me out. "

" I should go check on Kakarrotto. It wasn't very wise to just leave him with Bura. " Vegeta thought outloud, then

smirked, " He's not much for being pampered unless I'm the one doing the pampering; that mush-luving peasant. "

" °DING°DONG° " the doorbell rang.

Mirai looked in the room, " Who is it? "

" SHH! " Vegeta shh'd him, " Don't. Answer it. It's Brolli. " he sensed the ki, then looked through the peep-hole for

a moment. He hopped down and looked back at the others, " And he has cookies. " Vegeta whispered.

" What kind? " Vejitto asked.

Vegeta looked out again, " Chocolate chip. " he got down.

" Maybe he wants to apologize for acting so irrational before. " Mirai suggested.

" HA! Yeah right. Brolli's intelligent. Those "cookies" he has probably have some hypnotizing formula or something

like that in them to control my mind once I've eaten one. " Vegeta snorted.

Mirai sweatdropped, " Where do you GET this stuff?! "

" Hey, you can make hypnotic cookies! I created a formula for such baked goods 2 months ago but decided not to use

them on Kakarrotto because I plan on winning the Kaka-War without cheating my way there. " he explained.

" OH. " Mirai looked surprised.

" °DING°DONG° "

" Is anyone going to answer the door already? " Bulma came into the living room from the bedroom.

" ItsBrollidontopenit! " Vegeta said quickly.

" Uh... " Bulma blinked, " Why is he in ssj form or wielding some sort of weapon? "

" No. He has cookies. "

" ... "

" WHAT? They're HYPNOTIC cookies! To bend my mind to his will to the point where neither I nor Kakarrotto will be

able to save me! I'm not betting my free will on the taste of a baked good! " Vegeta exclaimed.

" ... " Bulma sighed, " Everytime I think it can't possibly get any more bizarre. " she walked past the 3 saiyajin

and the one demi-saiyajin.

" °DING°DONG° "

" ACK!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!! " Vegeta freaked out.

" Oh relax. " Bulma sweatdropped, " Now get behind the door. "

Vegeta shrugged and complied.

Bulma opened the door enough to be seen, " Hi there. "

Brolli took a deep breath, " Hello. I'd like to apologize to Vejita for my brashness in outright kidnapping him

earlier. In hope that he'll accept my apology I baked him some chocolate-chip cookies from scratch. "

" Ahh. " Bulma nodded, then glanced out of Brolli's range of view, " And there's nothing out-of-the-ordinary added

to these cookies, right? "

" I don't think so. The closest place that had the ingredients I needed was in the hotel's bakery 3 floors down. I

sort of borrowed their kitchen for a while. " he held out the cookies, " Is Vejita in? I'd like to feed him. "

Bulma cocked an eyebrow, " You mean give him the cookies. "

" No I mean actually putting the cookies in Vejita's mouth so he doesn't have to overwork his hands. But--but if

the cookies are to large for Vejita I'll gladly cut them up and use a fork instead. I wouldn't want Vejita to choke because

the cookies were to big to fit down his throat. "

" ... "

" :) "

" Umm, ya know what, Vegeta just stepped out you missed him by like, 5 minutes. "

" Ohhhh... " Brolli frowned.

" But why don't I take the cookies and give them to him once he comes back. " Bulma took the tray.

" That'll be great! " Brolli brightened up, " Goodbye. "

" Bye. " Bulma said, then closed and locked the door. She shook her head, " This is insane! "

" No kidding. " Vegeta said flatly.

" He's like, you know what he's like? He's like Son-kun, only different. " Bulma tried to describe it.

" Yeah I'd say "different" fits him pretty well. " the ouji rolled his eyes, " So what're you going to do with the

cookies? "

" Well, if we were home I'd take them to the lab and run some tests to see if they're really normal, untainted

cookies, but since we're not home... " she tossed a capsule to the ground, " I brought my mini-lab instead! " Bulma said

happily.

Vegeta looked over to see a small table connected to several portable machines and a microscope. He sweatdropped,

" You're prepared for anything, aren't you? "

" Yes I am. " she said proudly and put the tray down on the table, " NOW, let's see what's in these cookies! "

/dl

" So! How ya feelin? " Bura said cheerfully.

" A little slimy but its kinda nice. " Goku whizzed his hand around in the muddy goop he was sitting in. He put a

clump of it in his other hand and started to mold something.

" It's called a mud-bath. It's supposed to exfoliate your skin. " Bura bragged.

" ? " Goku only tilted his head at her as if trying to process what she'd said.

Bura sighed, " It removes any grease from your body. " she said flatly.

" OH!! " the large saiyajin said, enlightened. He played with the blob in his hand a little more and smiled, " Look

Bura! A mud-Veggie! " he held up his hand to reveal the blob ontop was now in the shape of a small Vegeta-plushie.

Bura twitched, ::That's not how you make use of this mud!:: " So Kakarroujo, what else would you like to have done? "

" What do you mean? " Goku blinked at her.

" You know! Don't you want anything waxed or cleaned or done up?! " she said, frustrated.

" ... " Goku stared at Bura for a moment, " That sounds painful. "

" ... " Bura sweatdropped, " Aw come ON Kakarroujo! It's pointless for you to go to a spa and only get one thing

done! Ah....what about your hair? " she thought up.

" Silly Bura! " Goku pulled a piece of his hair out only to have the hair instantly grow back into place as if it

hadn't even been pulled out at all. Bura gawked at him, " As Veggie says, "a pure saiyajin's hair does not change from when

they are born!". "

" Well, how about a manicure? "

" But I'm not sick. "

" ... "

" You really make this difficult for me, don't you Kakarroujo? " Bura sighed.

Goku looked around, baffled, " Would you like a mud-Veggie? " he held up a second little figurine made out of the

brown substance.

" Umm, no thanks. " Bura waved her hands out infront of her.

Goku shrugged, then went back to playing.

" Hmm... " she trailed off, watching the large saiyajin while calculating things in her head, " What about some

touchup? "

" ? " Goku cocked an eyebrow. Bura nearly fell over to see the two mud-Veggies now sitting ontop of his head,

" What's touchup? "

Bura held out a little case.

Goku stared at it for a moment, then let out a yelp, " EEEP! THAT'S MAKEUP! NO NO NO I WON'T WEAR IT! " he bounced

back several feet in the pool.

" But Kakarroujo———! " Bura pouted.

" I will not wear that stuff I don't like it! " Goku folded his arms stubbornly.

" I don't see why you have to act like this; makeup is just like---like drawing on your face the way you drew that

Toussan-doodle on your stomach. " Bura tried to think of something to relate it to.

" No way! My Veggie-doodle is completely different from that stuff! " Goku shook his head.

" You're right...what you did to your stomach was more like a tattoo than makeup...just let me put a little bit on

you Kakarroujo I'm much better at it now I'm not just going to glob it on like I did when I was a chibi! " Bura pleaded.

" NO! I do not wear makeup. " Goku nodded, them smiled, " Besides Veggie thinks I'm prettier just as I am. "

Bura sat down, " Did Toussan tell you that? "

" Not directly, but yeah, Veggie said that. " Goku thought outloud, then smiled warmly, " And I am sure that one day

Veggie'll make me his oujo. I just have to wait for it, that's all. "

" But, what about, you know.. " Bura tried to bring it up without upsetting him.

" Oh, the big meanie. Well he comes and goes all the time in his spaceship. Maybe one day I'll get really lucky and

he'll forget where Earth is or he'll give up trying to steal my Veggie and move on with his life somewhere else on another

planet far far far far FAR away from Veggie and me! " Goku grinned.

Bura chuckled, " You're so optimistic, Kakarroujo. "

" Really? "

" Mmm-hmm! And I hope one day that it all comes true for you. I really hope you get that happy ending, even if I'm

not alive to see it. "

Goku smiled.

/dl

" Hmm, there doesn't seem to be anything STRANGE about these cookies. " Bulma stared down through her microscope.

" Of COURSE there is look at them they're covered in his GERMS. " Vegeta pushed Bulma out of the way slightly and

shuddered at the sight of the giant Brolli-germs crawling all over the cookies.

" He's a saiyajin like you guys. The germ thing can't be helped. "

" I bet there's even some baked into the dough. " Vegeta stuck out his tongue in disgust.

" °DING°DONG°! "

" Oh GOD please tell me he's not back! " the ouji paled.

" Hmm? " Gogeta looked through the peep-hole, " Hey! It's Launch-san! "

" Are you sure its not Brolli DISGUISED as Launch? " Vegeta asked.

Bulma sweatdropped, " That would be distrubing. "

" And wrong! " Vejitto chirped, then opened the door, " Hello! "

" Hello! " Launch, in her blue-hairred form, replied happily, " Hey guys! I would've asked Tenshinhan and Chaoutzu

but they went out to pick up a pizza for us so---do you think you could help me find my key? "

" Your key? " Bulma asked.

" OOH! Detective work! " Vejitto grinned and whipped out a long brown detective-esque jacket and a large magnifying

glass.

" We are on the case! " Gogeta chirped.

" But, you don't even know what key I'm looking for? "

" ... "

" What key ARE you looking for? " Vejitto looked at her head through the magnifying glass.

Launch laughed, embarassed, " My room key. I sort of dropped it when I was coming back up the stairs; you see with

Brolli guarding the elevators so we really couldn't use them and I wanted to stop by the lobby to pick up a newspaper while

Tenshinhan and Chaoutzu left for the pizza place anyway. " she said in all in one breath, " SO I bought the newspaper and

headed back up to my room--they have the remaining key and the reason we locked the room was because all 3 of us had left at

once--only I tripped over the first step and my key fell through this large foot-sized hole in it. My flashlight's back in

the room and since I don't know how to use ki I figured I'd ask one of you to light it up for me while I try and grab it. "

she explained to them.

Bulma looked at the other people in the room, " Vegeta? "

" NO WAY! I'm not leaving this room! Not with baker-boy and his germ-coated cookies still sitting out there! " Vegeta

snapped, then paused, " IS he still sitting out there? "

Launch looked down the hallway, " Yup! AND he's writing a letter or something if I'm not mistaken. "

" He's writing me a letter? " Vegeta sweatdropped.

" Probably a poem about how "pretty" you are. " Bulma teased.

The ouji made an even larger sweatdrop, " Was that comment really necessary? "

" Do not worry, fellow hotel-boarder, for Goggie and I will help you! " Vejitto said happily.

" Yeah, we got tired of playing video-games anyway. " Gogeta added.

" Thanks so much! " Launch clasped her hands together and followed the fusions outside.

" Psst! Launch! "

" Huh? " she looked back at Vegeta, who had the door now open only a few inches wide.

" If Brolli asks about me tell him I'm NOT HERE, oh-kay? "

Launch gave him a thumbs-up, " Oh-kay! "

/dl

" Oooh, this stairway gives off a creepy vibration, Jitto. " Gogeta shifted uneasily, having made a literal

ki-flashlight which he was moving around to see various parts of the stairway.

" I don't feel anything. " Vejitto scratched his head, confused. He followed his magnifying glass around wherever

Gogeta aimed the light, " Hmm... "

" Floor 2, we must be almost there! " Launch pointed to a door they just passed.

" °FWOOOSH°! " Gogeta froze as he felt something rush past him, " NAAAA! " he freaked out and glomped onto Vejitto

from behind. Both fusions sweatdropped.

" You oh-kay...? "

" I tripped! " Gogeta said quickly, then let go and folded his arms in a Vegeta-esque manner, " Afterall there's

nothing in here to be afraid of! It's a perfectly safe--just very very old--staircase. " he smirked.

" I think I feel the hole. " Launch stuck her foot out.

" How can you feel a hole? " Vejitto tilted his head.

" You know, the whole it-feels-like-something-should-logically-be-here-but-instead-is-not kind of feeling. " she

tried to explain.

" Huh. Hey Goggie could you shine a light down there for us? " Vejitto asked.

" Sure! " Gogeta chirped and did so, only to reveal a fairly deep hole with Launch's room key ontop of a box that

nearly took up all the space the hole had.

" My key! " she picked it up, " Thanks guys! ....what's that? "

" It looks like a box. " Gogeta poked it with the hand he wasn't using to light the way. He reached forward and

picked it up out of the hole, " A HEAVY box. "

" Let's go show it to Bulma! She'll know what to do with it! " Vejitto spoke up.

" Or we could save the suspense and just open it right now. " Gogeta said, then felt another rush of wind, " Ah... "

he blinked for a moment, then laughed nervously, " Ya know what, good idea Jitto, let's get out of here. Hahaha...ha... "

/dl

" WOW! I feel all nice 'n clean 'n SHINY! " Goku said happily as he and Bura left the spa. All Goku had done after

the mud bath was take an actual bath to wash off the mud, " Don't you think so little mud-Veggies? Yup Kakarrotto, you smell

minty-fresh! "

Bura suddenly gasped. Goku looked over at her.

" What? "

" He's GONE! "

Goku turned his attention to the end of the hallway. Brolli was no longer at the elevators. Infact his ki wasn't even

anywhere on the premises, " He left. " Goku said, then froze and quickly sensed for Vegeta, who, to his relief, was still in

the room with Bulma, Mirai, and Trunks.

" Hey, Goku! "

Goku turned around, along with Bura. Several feet behind them were Vejitto, who was dressed up like a detective;

Gogeta, who had a large old wooden box in his arms; Launch, who had a dirty-looking room key; Tenshinhan, who was holding a

pizza; and Chaoutzu, " HI! " Goku gushed happily and dashed over to them, " What happened? "

The group looked between each other.

" Well we went to get a pizza, "

" and I accidentally dropped my key in a hole in the stairs going down, "

" so she came to us for help! "

" But when we found the key we also found this box, see? "

" And on their way back up we met up with them and just reached the top of the stairs now! "

" ... " Goku and Bura stared at them, " OHHHHHHHHHH! " Goku said, enlightened.

" So...now where to? " Launch asked.

Goku grinned and pumped his fist in the air, " To VEGGIE'S! "

/dl

" °DING°DONG°! "

Vegeta sweatdropped, " NOW who is it? " he walked over to the door and opened it to reveal Goku and the others.

" HI VEGGIE! " Goku gushed, grabbing and glomping onto the little ouji, " MMmmm——— oh Veggie I missed u! "

" Wah-yaaah——— " Vegeta laughed, dazed and glowing bright red. He tried to shake most of it off, " Mmm, I missed you

as well, Kaka-chan. "

" Heehee. " Goku grinned.

Vegeta looked over and twitched to see everyone else staring at him, " WELL? What're you looking at? There's nothing

to see here! If you want to come inside then do so! "

" Oh, hi everybody. " Bulma came into the living room, " Come in. "

" That's what I said. " Vegeta nodded.

" ...you do know Son-kun's still hugging you. "

" With the number of "Brolli" scares I've had today, I don't care. " the ouji said simply.

" MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm———— " Goku's mmm-ing noise got even louder. Vegeta's cheeks flushed red.

" Look what we found! " Gogeta plopped the box on the floor.

" OH! Where---what? Where did you find this? " Bulma gawked at it.

" It was in the same hole as my key! " Launch held her key up.

" The hole I made with my foot back when we first got here! " Goku chimed in.

" Really? " she said, interested, " Well, it's bound to be old by the way it looks; better not touch it til after

we have the pizza. "

Tenshinhan sweatdropped, " Actually it was just for Launch, Chaoutzu, and me. "

" OH, sorry! "

" No, it's oh-kay. We have 2 of them, we could share some of it. " Tenshinhan offered.

" That's very nice of you Tenshinhan but-- "

" --Ilikepizza. " Vejitto spoke up, popping up behind Bulma.

" I too enjoy the delicious combination of cheese, tomato sauce, and crispy bread. " Gogeta popped up from behind

Bulma's other side. The blue-hairred woman sweatdropped.

" --I suppose we can have a little bit. " Bulma finished her sentence, laughing nervously. Tenshinhan set the pizza

down on the kitchen table.

" Huh, what's this? " Vegeta noticed an envelope and a wrapped gift taped to the front door. He took it off and read

the cover of the envelope, " "To My Dearest Vejita". " he translated the saiyago letters and sweatdropped.

" Oh, its from the big meanie. " Goku nodded.

Vegeta cocked an eyebrow, " Is that what you're calling him now? "

" A-mong other things. Veggie-napper, Veggie-stealer, Veggie-thief, Brolli. " Goku rattled off.

" Nice to know you're still using the real name. " Vegeta said dryly, then held the envelope away from himself and

opened it. He took out the letter and read, " "Dear Vejita-chan, since you are out at the moment I decided to leave you this

letter for when you return. I hope you enjoy the cookies I left for you. After I brought them to your room and left I was

struck by a wonderful idea for a special gift I'd like to make for you, my otokohime. Unfortunately all the items needed for

the gift are back at my "home", so that's where I'm going. I also made a brief trip back to the swimsuit store and traded in

the bikini for something else I think you'll enjoy." " Vegeta glanced at the wrapped present momentarily, " "I've also had

a pool installed at "home" and if you'd like to come over and swim with me after you get back from your trip I'd be more than

happy to join you. See you next week, Brolli Denkiteki--the legendary super saiyajin". "

" He just had to rub in that "legendary" part, didn't he? " Bulma sweatdropped.

" So he's created a last name for himself now? " Vegeta tilted his head at the letter.

" Created? " Bulma blinked.

" I KNOW he doesn't know his last name, he had to have made this one up. Besides, denkiteki is such an obvious

choice; it means legendary. "

" Are you sure there isn't anything dangerous in the box, Veggie? What if its a BOMB? " Goku's eyes widened in

nervousness.

Vegeta sweatdropped, " I doubt that, Kakarrotto. The last thing Brolli wants to do is kill me. I think he told the

truth about swapping for an alternate outfit. But who knows what he bought in-place of a bright-pink bikini. " Vegeta

grimaced.

Bulma almost burst into laughter, " B--Brolli bought you a PINK BIKINI?! "

" That's right, laugh it up. " Vegeta muttered, embarassed, " I couldn't believe it either. "

" That sounds a little perverted to me for some reason. " Goku tilted his head, deep in thought.

" See? Even Kakarrotto knows it was wrong! " Vegeta exclaimed.

" Well, just open it. " Bulma tried to keep from laughing.

" Hmm.. " Vegeta looked at the box, examining it. He slowly unwrapped it and lifted the top off only to turn a pale

green, " ... "

" What? What is it? " Bulma looked over, then sweatdropped.

Vegeta held the object up, " It's a thong. " he stared at it, disturbed.

" A RED thong. " Goku noted, " Huh....I think I actually have one of those somewhere..... "

Vegeta twitched, " Thanks for the mental image, Kakarrotto. "

" You are WELCOME, Veggie! " Goku said warmly, not completely understanding.

The ouji sighed.

" You know what, haha, how about you just put that back Vegeta, and we'll all go have some pizza. " Bulma said,

getting up, " Then I'll try and break open that box the fusions found. "

Vegeta stood up as well, then dropped the thong back into the open box, sickened, " Alright, just let me go wash my

hands off first....and maybe even my brain. " he added sarcastically.

/dl

And so the rest of the week went by without a hitch. The contents of the wooden box had turned out to be a fairly

large amount of gold coins. The fusions had wanted to keep it but Bulma decided since it was on the hotel's property that

they just hand it over to the owner of the hotel, Parisu's mom. Ironically while a long time ago the gold coins had been

worth quite a bit of money, they now ended up being worth around $44 dollars--which is also the same amount of money it

would've took to repair the damage Goku had caused the stair the treasure was under to begin with.

Brolli had indeed gone back to his temporary "home"; the one he was living in until he could convince Vegeta to leave

the planet along with him. Vegeta had decided that once they DID get back home, that the next time he ran in to Brolli he

would have to further educate the large saiyajin on what was considered proper male swimwear on Earth.

Vejitto and Gogeta got to go on the giant red roller-coaster and enjoyed it so much they went 3 more times after.

Bulma had another talk with Goku; this time about the themed Vegeta-plushies, though Goku didn't understand why

Bathtime-Veggie made her so uneasy, he agreed not to make any more of the themed plush toys.....for a while, anyway.

Vegeta stretched in his seat as the bus drove them home, " Well, that was certainly an "interesting" week. " he

remarked dryly.

" Aw come on, don't tell me you didn't enjoy it. " Bulma chuckled as she looked back at him from the driver's seat.

" Hm? Oh I enjoyed it, definately a nice change from the usual thing where we just make use of the pool as one of

the few recluses from the heat. " Vegeta said, a sleeping Goku sitting next to him. He smirked grabbed the sleeping saiyajin

around the shoulder, " Maybe next summer Kakay and I can go somewhere a little more, private. " the ouji smirked over at

Chi-Chi.

" Yeah, you'd like THAT, wouldn't ya Ouji? " Chi-Chi grumbled.

" As a matter of fact, I think I would. " Vegeta nodded, then snickered, " I'm more than sure Kakarrotto would make

for an EXCELLENT room-mate, one who's company I KNOW I'd get much PLEASURE out of. "

" —♥Really, Veggie?♥— "

" ?! " the ouji froze and looked over to see Goku staring up at him, a pink blush-line over his nose, " Uh... "

" ... " Goku snuggled closer to him and smiled luvingly up at the little ouji.

" Uh... " Vegeta's entire face was bright red by now. He instantly let go and zipped as far away from the larger

saiyajin as he could while staying in his seat, " YoucouldveTOLDmeyouwereawakeyouknow!! " the ouji blurted out, embarassed.

" But I like listening to Veggie talk and say such nice things about me. " Goku continued to stare at him, " It makes

me feel really special. " he moved closer, " Really REALLY special. "

" Ah, yeah, you're uh, you're welcome Kaka-- "

" ♥Smooch♥! " Goku smooched the little ouji on the cheek.

" !!! " Vegeta's entire body exploded with redness and steam flew out his ears. The ouji fell stiffly over and landed

on the eisle of the bus with a loud, " °THUMP°!!! "

" ? " everyone else suddenly turned to see the smaller saiyajin lying there, staring blankly at the ceiling.

" V--Vegeta? " Bulma glanced back at him, worried. She looked over at Goku, who was sitting contently in his seat as

if nothing had happened. He had a rather pleased look on his face and let out a giggle, " Son-kun? "

" Veggie's my ♥FAVORITE♥, Bulma! " Goku chirped. He looked over at the saiyajin on the floor, " Isn't that right,

Veggie? "

" Ah, haha, hahaha... " Vegeta laughed nervously.

" °splooosh° " Vejitto and Gogeta squirted him with water-guns full of Peasant-Repel.

" ..ahhh. Thanks. " the ouji, now only glowing a mild red, sat up.

" You're welcome Toussan! "

" You're welcome Mommy! "

And the bus continued its long ride home.

THE END!

Chuquita: HOORAY!

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) That took a little longer than usual.

Chuquita: (sighs) And that is because (1) This was an unusually long chapter, and (2) Because this past week is what's known

in my house as the busy week.

Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) The "busy week"?

Chuquita: (rattles off as if she's done it many times before) The carnival, my sister's two dance dress-rehersals, grandma's

birthday, cousin's birthday, dad's birthday, sister's dance recital #1, father's day, sister's dance recital #2, sister's

dance recital #3.

Vegeta: o.O

Chuquita: (flatly) Exactly. The fact that these things have severely messed up the possibility of me having dinner didn't

help any either. Thank God this'll all be over by Tuesday!

Goku: (pats Chu on the back) Poor Chu-sama.

Chuquita: (pouts) I wish all this stuff wouldn't happen in the same week!......(perks up) Anyway, I hope everybody enjoyed

our mini-glimpse into the future!

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) You just HAD to have Kakarrotto smooch me at the end.

Chuquita: It was a PLATONIC one, you know that. Smooches are platonic and kisses are...non-platonic. Besides, present-Goku

wouldn't have the courage to smooch you. The idea randomly came to me and I know we won't visit the future again until I get

to that Bebi-saga parody fic and who knows how many fics will have been written until I get to that one!

Goku: (turns to Veggie, lips puckered up) A smooch for good-luck!

Vegeta: (yelps) NOTHANKYOU!!!

Goku: (tilts head, still puckered) Hm?

Chuquita: Also! I've been hit with a great idea for fic number 100! I will give more information on it the closer we get

to it! And now for the reviewer-replies!

To Afrodite: Aww, glad ya like him! I'm still planning Brolli's official return. I think he'll be popping up every once in

a while, at least that's how I think it'll be at the moment. That's right, he hasn't met or known about V.2! Ironically in

movie 11 Brolli gets a cloned without knowning about it; similar to how Veggie got cloned a while ago. Whether or not he'll

go after V.2, I'm not sure yet. Yup! That they are! :)

To PerfectCell17: Yup! Happy you liked the chapter! I know it took longer than usual to update, I was just delayed by

circumstances beyond my control.

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) No kidding.

Chuquita: The recital today (6/20) even gave me a headache. ;.;

To mkh2: Heh, makes me wanna go look at my own db books (glances over her shoulder at them) I think I may do that once I get

time this week :D Yeah, I read somewhere that because of where they grew up both Goku and Chi-Chi have similar accents/speech

patterns. Heehee, Brolli can't help himself. At least he tried to find something "more suitable" for Veggie to swim in near

the end :D Heh, when I first started using "uke and seme" I had to go back a couple times and make sure I didn't mix them

up while using 'um. I knew there were symbols in microsoft word, but I never really bothered with them til now (cuz ff.net

got rid of my usual squiggle and star symbols) and yes, the hearts do look flat. They only really take on a heart-shape if

you enlarge the font-size several times on the page (one of the few remaining extra-features ff.net kept). LOL, they do

look like someone sat on them :D

To Kawaii: Thanks! Veggie did deal w/him in this chapter :)

To Gie: Yes, she's especially more nervous about it in this story because lots of things have happened within the 4-year

timeframe between the present and the future. I'm sure the next one's gonna be PG-13, there's no way to get around some parts

of it without bumping the rating up. °nods° Ooh, I like that. I think I'll have Bulma mention it to Veggie in the next story

before Goku makes his wish.

To tea': You're welcome! Ah, the ear mini-bond thing. That's an after-effect of them using the portaras and being the only

ones to ever use them and seperate back to normal. Chi-Chi definately has reasons to worry about them. Confrontation would

probably help, though I don't know if direct or indirect would work better...?

To Cathowl: Yeah, poking Veggie is pretty dangerous, unless you're Goku or as-strong-as Veggie. Goggie's fun! I can't wait

to play as him in Budoukai 3! Heh, similar to Goku's reaction to him. Goku learns very quickly, and since surfing for him is

similar to riding Kinto'un, it wasn't hard at all. Yeah, Jitto and Goggie are still wanted by the Ice Cream Police. .;;

Hm, never had mint ice cream before, actually. Veggie's very proud of his sand-castle. Nope, dunno who Gotoma is. His name

sounds like a fusion to me though. Lol, an actual mermaid Veggie would be funny, but Goku'd probably have to keep him in a

really big fish-bowl in order to carry him around all day. Brolli doesn't have that much Earth-knowledge yet, so its not

completely his fault he picked out a bikini. It was a little tame of a meeting, but then again Goku didn't know Brolli was

in the hotel talking to Veggie yet. Veggie had a good reason for needing Goku to be there, and the kaka-germs got to show

off their fighting skills :D Yaoi fanart from the stories? Well, if you do decide to doodle that, good luck! Your Bardock

can teleport? Cool!

To Nuki: Aw it's oh-kay. You're lucky you're done. I still have 2 weeks left to go in my mini-summer-course. Yup! It's

Brolli! Ooh, "King Me!" was FUN to write °nods°. So are Jitto and Goggie! I have 2 more Jitto-&-Goggie-centered fic ideas

floating around in my head so they may be getting another solo fic soon.

To BlackDragonFury: Veggie didn't freak out as much as he would've in the present cuz now he's more oh-kay w/Goku's own

comfort-level. I liked the kaka-germs VS brolli-germs battle :) The germs are fun to use! Oh! I read chapter 2 of "Chibi

Chaos" today, it was good :D Chibi Veggie playing hide-n-seek w/Chibi Goku was kawaii! Thanks so much! The next story is

actually going to be called "Kakarroujo". AND it'll be fic number 90 as well! :)

Goku: (grins) (to Kayla) Even though it'll only be for a day it is still going to be LOTS of fun! I can't WAIT to make my

wish!!

Vegeta: (shifts uneasily) I can.

To Daniru: Heh, yes he is. This wasn't Brolli's "real" return though. He'd been coming and going on Earth for a while in

the future. Wait'll you see Goku's reaction his first return! °nods°. Brolli is indeed in Budoukai 3! I've seen videoclips

and, recently, screenshots. dbzsc.com has a link to a site w/the screenshots and the current European cover to the game.

Movie 6? Yeah, I liked that one. Especially how Veggie comes out of nowhere to try and save the day :D I'll think about it.

To RyukoVulpix: You're welcome! Yeah, its kinda weird how they always package broccoli and carrots together. I luv arcades

too! We actually have a mini-arcade at my college, but the machines all work on tokens .;; Ya know what's funny? I've

heard and read and seen Dance Dance Revolution on tv & in news articles, but I don't think I've ever seen one of the machines

in person to try it out. I will try it if I ever do see one though. :) Happy u liked the fic!

To Spot & Jenna: I will put the 'Bardock and Celipa meet' fic on my future-fics list so I will get it written for you :)

I probably forgot to mention it before cuz your review before this one might have been from a different story. When I do the

reviewer-replies I usually save the review-page from the fic onto the computer and reply from there. Depends, if Hiei's been

with Goku recently then yeah he could have a couple germs on him. I have drawn Cally, just not in a while. But I'll draw a

picture of her for you and post it on my deviantart page :) Yup! I uploaded that one. Heh, Goku gave Hiei his sword back.

I won't forget about the picture. :)

To Deepcoiler: Brolli's only like that in this fic cuz we're temporarily in the future; everyone's a little different :)

Ooh, gifts for Goku and Veggie.

Goku: (hugs giant Veggie-plushie) Heehee, I am going to enjoy THIS! Say HI, Veggie!

Giant-Veggie-Plushie: HI, Veggie!

Goku: Haha!

Vegeta: (picks up random weapon and holds it above Chi-Chi voodoo doll) Yes, thank you VERY much (swings weapon downward)

Voice from outside: YEOW!!!

Vegeta: Heh-heh-heh...

To Hakura0: Yeah. Heh, it does seem like a fun arcade to visit. Ah. I don't think I've ever babysat before. My only sibling,

my sister, is only 4 years younger than me and that's not a big enough age difference for me to have ever done any sitting.

Yeah, a window would've worked. °nods° Goku and Veggie figured it out though. :) Hope you liked the game-battle.

To Unknown Wanderer: Thanks! Wow! 37 minutes! I don't think I've ever timed myself when reading a fic before. I should try

it. Sure I'll take a look at your page :)

To SupersayiankingTommy: Yeah, I'm happy I kept his vocabulary too. I just think in movie 10 he was really REALLY upset that

he had lost to Goku (afterall he's the 'Densetsu', the one who supposedly is unbeatable). Interesting idea. There's a reason

I don't have many "original characters" and that's cuz I'm not very good at creating my own. I do have some that were

necessary to create for certain fics though, (Veggie's mom and aunt, Veggy--the Veggie android, Ms. La Flu in "Veggiewear";

to name a few) and I think they all came out pretty well though. :)

To Goddess Shimi: LOL! The lil Ginyu-force parody's funny. OH! I've seen that OVA! You can find it at dba's site! It came

originally from a game so when they travel to different places instead of a swipe there's a picture of little video-game

Goku/Gohan/Piccolo heads traveling across a digital map. Heehee. It's about a Tsufurijin (same race as Bebi) scientist who

decides to destroy the remaining saiyajins by sending psudo-versions of the past movie villains (Turles, Freeza, Slug, and

someone else) to fight them. Then they travel in the spaceship to the scientist's planet "at the end of the universe" and

fight his ultimate monster. There's a GREAT scene where they have the saiyajin-flashback of saiyajins landing on Planet

Fruit. There were a LOT of Gokus (where I got the idea of type-3 saiyajin villages) and Veggies. I think there were 2 Gokus

for each Veggie. Or maybe it was the other way around. I have a screenshot on deviantart of it somewhere...I'll try and find

it. Chi-Chi yelling at Bulma might be from something else. I don't remember Chi-Chi being in the OVA. Bulma I think was in

it though. LOL, she does yell a lot. It just sounded that way probably because of the translation. Part 2's Q.O.T.W was from

the japanese version of a dbz ep. Veggie said something like "pretending to go along with" in the dub. I'm so excited that

Budoukai 3 is coming out! It doesn't get here til December but there's so much cool new stuff in it! Hee, ssj4 Veggies. I

will start on "Kakarroujo" later today! Heh, Brolli's mad at Goku .;;

To Sinah: Thanks! Veggie dealt with him in this chapter. Yeah, Son-kun's having more Veggie-related problems now than he does

in the present.

To Spot & Jenna: You're welcome for the picture! :) Hee——, I've seen Trigun before. Was surprised when I found out on the

show how old Vash was. The kaka-germs can affect you if you don't rinse them off. Wow, that is pretty broken. Poor Hiei's

sword. Ooh, cliffhanger ending.

To Maria S.: Goodluck in Puerto Rico! Have a great vacation! It's oh-kay about the comic pages. I can wait.

Chuquita: And now the story finally comes to an end!

Vegeta: (sweatdrops at how long it took)

Chuquita: Hey, I couldn't help it. Last week (6/21) was really REALLY busy! And this chapter was really REALLY big. BUT,

now that the busy week is over I'll be able to get back to updating NORMALLY again! (perks up) See you sometime next week

with part 1 of "Kakarroujo" everybody!

Goku: BYEBYE!

Vegeta: (pales) How I dread this upcoming situation...
