Chuey's Corner:
Goku: (smiling) That was a happy day.
Chuquita: (flipping through book) It was indeed.
Vegeta: ...
Goku: (sweatdrops at stubborn-pouty expression on Veggie's face) Aw Veggie, that doesn't mean we can have fun without
Veggies needed. (pats him on the back) Although it is possible...but hey it does not happen very often NOW!
Vegeta: ... (sulks)
Chuquita: (sigh) I'm just trying to get Budoukai-related Q.O.T.W Veggie, there's nothing wrong with that.
Vegeta: I suppose...
Chuquita: You'll be in the next Q.O.T.W...
Vegeta: Better. (smirks)
Chuquita: (holds up book) You know what I found that was strange in here, that on the back cover Piccolo's subbed differently
than inside the actual book.
Piccolo-from-book-jacket: Gya ha ha! Don't you think you should ask your friends for help? At this point, you have no hope
of winning!
Chuquita: Versus the inside version of the exact same scene.
Piccolo-from-inside-book: Gahahaha!! Do you truely wish to decline your allies' aid?! Without it, your slim hope becomes
none at all!!
Vegeta: (surprised) Wow, a whole couple grade-levels above the jacket dialogue!
Chuquita: Yeah, apparently Piccolo's vocab is very eloquent; for someone trying to take over the world, I mean.
Vegeta: I like this one, myself. (points to page)
Chi-Chi: (glomps Son-kun) I'm so glad!! I'm so glad you're alive!!
Goku: WAAH!!! Wh--what are you doin', Chi-Chi?! Quit it!!! Don't squeeze me like that!!
Vegeta: (grin) :D
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) You would like that part.
Vegeta: Even a small rebellion among the peasants against Onna makes me feel content inside.
Goku: Veggie I did not know what a hug WAS back then. I didn't know what Chi-chan was doing to me.
Chuquita: (looks around) Lucky thing we chose Veggie's house to temporarily-relocate to instead of Son-kun's.
Vegeta: Yeah, we don't need to deal with Onna today. (looks up at Quote) What's with all the exclamation points anyway?
Chuquita: The person who subs the manga must be a big fan of them, he or she has got at least 2 at the end of almost every
sentence.
Vejitto: (happily) Yes they do!
Gogeta: (nods) Jitto's right!
(Goku, Veggie, and Chu look over to see Jitto and Goggie standing nearby)
Goku: (grins) Ji-chan and Goggie! How nice to see you!
Vegeta: How did you get here?
Gogeta: Silly Toussan, we live here too ya know! (plops onto couch)
Vegeta: Oh yeah... (mumbles) I keep forgetting I'm in my own house.
Chuquita: Which is technically Bulma's..
Goku: Which is technically technically Bulma's parent's.
Vegeta: (twitches) Must you go into detail.
Chuquita: Sometimes. :)
Goku: (gets up and wanders off upstairs) ♪♪♪
Vegeta: And where are YOU going?
Goku: (grins) (back facing Veggie) Veggie's room!
Vegeta: !!! OH NO! You're not allowed in there I forbid it I--
(door closes)
Vegeta: (looks back at Chu and fusions) --will be right back! (dashes off to his room after Son)
Chuquita: Ah...(perks up) Here's Part 2!

" ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪ ♪♪ " Vegeta whistled as he placed the ingredients down on the counter; a fish, ice-cream, and
sugar.
Chi-Chi and Goku watched him from the kitchen table; Chi-Chi death-glaring the ouji from behind and mentally cringing
at the choice of ingredients, and Goku smiling warmly at the smaller saiyajin and mentally licking his chops at the frozen
treat he was about to get.
Bulma finished climbing the stairs that led out of the lab. She closed the door behind her and sighed, " That's so
strange, I wish I knew what would cause it to attack people. " she walked past the doorway to the kitchen and paused to see
the scene inside, " Done your training session I see. " Bulma smiled.
" Hm? Oh! " Vegeta looked over his shoulder at her while placing the fish inside the blender, " Yes. It appears that
training with Kakarrotto is a lot more vigorous an exercise than sparring against him. I'm preparing a small treat for him
and then I'm going up to my room to rest. " the ouji explained.
Bulma stared for a moment, then rubbed her ears to see if she'd heard what he had said correctly, " "REST"?! "
" Yes? "
" But, you NEVER take naps! Why would you randomly decide to start taking them now? " she asked, confused.
" It's not a nap! It's a "rest"--like you reiterated. " Vegeta snorted, embarrassed, " Training against a ssj3
Kakarrotto tires me out more than I care to imagine. " he placed the final objects into the blender and capped the machine,
" And I don't exactly plan on falling asleep in plain sight of Kakarrotto and end up waking up next to him in some
non-platonic position on a picturesque tropical island at sunrise!! " the ouji exclaimed.
" ... " Bulma blinked, " I really have no clue where you get such ideas, Vegeta. "
" Neither do I. " the ouji said mysteriously, then let out a large yawn.
" AWWW! " Goku awwed.
Vegeta's cheeks turned red.
" I've, never seen Veggie yawn before. " Goku explained to Chi-Chi and Bulma.
" Understandable. Neither have I. " Chi-Chi nodded.
" Veggie's got a CUTE yawn too. " the larger saiyajin's smile turned warm and mushy. This time the little ouji's
entire face went red. He quickly looked away and pressed the start button on the blender. Vegeta grabbed a glass and poured
the contents of the blender into it, then placed it infront of Goku and turned to head to his room.
" Veggie? "
The ouji glanced over to see the larger saiyajin pouting. Vegeta sighed and walked over to grab a straw. He plunked
the straw into the glass, then held his arms out as if preparing to receive a hug. Goku beamed and glomped onto him tightly.
" MMMM! Thank you so MUCH for the treat little Veggie. I hope you have a nice Veggie-nap. " the larger saiyajin
snuggled in closer, causing a wave of warmth and mild panic to spread across Vegeta's body. The ouji tried to remain calm,
then pulled himself out of the hold and sleepily headed upstairs.
Goku smiled.
" Wow, I don't think I've ever seen Vegeta that tired this early in the day. " Bulma murmured. She turned to Goku,
" You must've worked him over pretty well to tire him out like this. "
" Veggie's FUN to train with, Bulma. " Goku said happily, " The most fun of all! "
" Really... " she laughed, slightly nervous.
" Hey Goku-san, " Chi-Chi said, suspicious, " if the Ouji's so beat from your training session how come you haven't
even broken a sweat? "
Goku thought for a moment, " Umm, I dunno. " he suddenly grinned, " Maybe I just adapt to high gravity better than
Veggie does, since I weigh more than him anyway! "
" Yeah, but by that logic it would mean you were straining more than Vegeta and thus would be even more tired. Not
to mention you've been awake much longer today than he has, correct? " Bulma deduced.
" Hmm... " Goku took a sip from the straw in his smoothie, " I guess... "
" Must you make an entire case out of it. " Vegeta sweatdropped from the top of the stairs.
Bulma twitched to see him still there, sleepily watching the group below, " I was just thinking that it might not
be entirely safe for you and Son-kun to spar if you tire out long before he does. "
" Hmmph! Today was just a fluke! " Vegeta snorted, " I can outlast Kakarrotto in any category any day. " he boasted,
" And yes it is completely dangerous for me to fall asleep nearby a wide-awake Kakarrotto and that is why I'm going in my
room to rest. "
" Nap. " Goku giggled through slurps of his smoothie.
The ouji blushed, " REST. "
" Whatever u say little Veggie! " the larger saiyajin chirped. Vegeta groaned and entered his room, closing the
door behind him. Goku frowned as the smaller saiyajin was now gone from view, " Ohhhh, I hope Veggie doesn't nap for very
long. I miss him already. "
" He's only one floor ABOVE us! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, " WHAT'S to miss?! "
" Veggie. " Goku replied.
Chi-Chi sighed.

" °YAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWN°!!! " Vegeta let out a huge yawn as he lay on his bed, belly-down with his chin resting
ontop of two large puffy pillows, " The big baka....he's more relentless than any of the gravity room's programs are. All I
can say is this better not become the norm for this week. Me passing out in the middle of the day is hardly respectable for
one with my title. " the little ouji smirked. He reached one foot over to the other and kicked his boots off, then stretched
his toes and sighed with relief as the cool air wafted between them. Vegeta then momentarily sat up and looked around the
room with suspicion. When he was sure all was safe he carefully removed his gloves and plopped them ontop of his alarm clock,
" I'll take on the task of ridding myself of that hideous "uke" shirt Onna decided to place in my possession later on. It
should be an amusing farewell. " he flopped back down onto the pillows and closed his eyes, and, to Vegeta's surprise, easily
slipping into sleep...

:::" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! "
Vegeta's head jolted up at the roar of the crowd. He quickly looked around to see where he was; the inside of the
building that lead to the Tenkaichi Budoukai stage. It looked exactly as it had the one time he'd been there; only everything
around him was slightly distorted. A door may be leaning a little to the left, the floor felt unbalanced--like it was on the
slope of a hill. The ouji folded his arms at this odd change, " Well, its not like I completely remember that entire morning;
it was a good two years ago--however with the huge amount of importance I put on "the-one-day-I'll-get-to-see-Kakarrotto-
-again" you'd think it'd be seared into my memory perfectly. " he walked around, finding the place completely empty despite
the sounds of cheering that would occur outside. Vegeta paused as he felt something whiz past him. He looked over his
shoulder to see it was Goku who had just jogged off in the other direction, " Kakarrotto? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow, then
continued on his way. Two Gokus walked by him, talking to each other. Vegeta froze in place for a moment, then sweatdropped.
" Yah... " he trailed off, scratching his head. The ouji made his way to the lounge and sat down. He looked across
the room to see a fourth Goku plopped on the couch reading a magazine. Vegeta gulped and grabbed the remote to turn the
tv that hung slanted from the ceiling, on.
" And in other news today--fish sales are up! " a fifth Goku--this one wearing a news anchorman's outfit and sitting
behind a desk on the tv--said, " Let's go live to Kame lake where are reporter-on-the-street is reporting from! " the
camera switched spots to show a large lake where Gokus in fishing boats sat with their fishing-poles in the water. One of
them reeled in a huge salmon in seconds. The other Goku in the boat applauded him.
Another Goku-reporter looked out at the lake, standing before it, " We're here at Kame lake where fish are being
caught by the thousands! A miracle, some must certainly say, " the camera zoomed out and as soon as Vegeta saw this
peasant-reporter was wearing a mini-skirt, he changed the channel.
" °WHEW°! " Vegeta wiped the sweat off his brow only to regawk a second time. All the actors on the next station's
sitcom were Gokus as well. He flipped the channel again to see all three contestants of Jeopardy were Gokus, along with the
host. The ouji continued to flip through several more channels before just shutting the tv off altogether, " Dear GOD! I've
had Kaka-related dreams before but this is ridiculous! " he leaned back in the chair.
The Goku sitting across from him looked over the top of his magazine and purred loudly at Vegeta.
Vegeta's eyes popped open and he glanced over to see the larger saiyajin staring at him with come-hither eyes. He
laughed nervously, " Ah, I have to be going now. " the ouji stood up and tossed the remote to the other piece of furniture,
" Have a, have a nice day. Haha, bye. " and with that he made a mad dash out of the room, " AARG! THIS IS CRAZYNESS! All
those Kakarrottos in one place! What is this nightmare?! "If-Kakarrottos-took-over-the-world"? "
" Hey, Mr. Oujisama. "
Vegeta screeched to a halt. A voice that was not Goku's had just spoken up. He took a deep breath and prepared to
turn around only to see the Budoukai Announcer standing there. Vegeta let out a broken laugh, " Oh thank God you're not
Kakarrotto. "
The announcer cocked an eyebrow at him, confused, " Uh, yeah. Mr. Oujisama, your match is ready to start. We need
you to get to the ring immediately. "
" Immediately. " Vegeta repeated, blinking, " Alright then, in that case--I'm off! " he nodded proudly and headed
towards the exit. The ouji walked out onto the field only to let out a gasp that nearly sucked his entire breath away.
The entire crowd before him was filled with Gokus. The sheer number of type-3 saiyajin peasants in the stands made Vegeta
feel VERY uneasy as he made his way onto the ring. The peasants applauded him, cheered, some waved banners and signs. Vegeta
tugged at his collar, the outdoors suddenly feeling much steamier. He looked around to see the ring was empty. The
announcer was gone; indicating to Vegeta that he must be getting the ouji's opponent. The sun came into view, temporarily
blinding Vegeta as the figure of his opponent stepped into the ring, sending a huge shadow over the ouji. Vegeta looked up
in shock, " You gotta be kidding me. "
Before the ouji stood a Goku half a size bigger than the others he had come into contact with. This one was smiling
sweetly at him and wearing what looked like a larger version of the ouji's "Seme" t-shirt. The Goku nodded to him, " Pleased
to meet you, little Veggie. " he held out his hand.
Vegeta nervously shook it, " Haha, ah, likewise. "
" ... "
" ... "
Vegeta's opponent gave his hand a warm squeeze, causing Vegeta to instantly pull away, " Ah, haha, that's enough of
that. " he backed away and struck a fighting pose, " Now let's go! "
" Whatever you say Veggie. " the slightly larger Goku struck his usual fighting pose.
The announcer suddenly appeared ringside, " LET THE MATCH BEGIN! "
" Huh? " Vegeta looked back only to have to sense Goku move. The ouji whipped around and launched himself at the
larger saiyajin only to have Goku's own launch send him backwards and slamming down back-first onto the hard ground of the
ring, " OOF! " Vegeta glanced up to see the larger saiyajin smiling shyly at him.
" Aww Veggie, you don't think I'm THAT relentless, do u? " he asked curiously.
The ouji's face turned red, " Ah.... "
Goku smirked, causing another pang of fear in the back of Vegeta's mind, " Am I too hard for Veggie to train with? "
he pouted for a moment, then returned to smirking, " I do not mind moving a little slower--so Veggie can keep up--if that is
what it takes. " he leaned closer until he touched noses with Vegeta. The second their skin made contact Vegeta let out an
ear-piercing scream of terror, grabbing Goku's arm and in a frantic display chucking him off as fast as he could.:::

" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! "
Bulma froze at the scream she'd just heard only to be unable to react before a pillow was thrown out through the
wall of Vegeta's bedroom and hurtled down until it landed ontop of Goku's head as he sat on the livingroom couch. Goku
blinked through the pillow, confused.
" That was different. " Bulma sweatdropped at the pillow and the new hole in her house wall.
" The Ouji just let out a frightened, almost girlish scream. " Chi-Chi observed, then broke out into a grin, " Let's
go see him! "
" NO! " Bulma exclaimed, " Vegeta's probably just having a dream, he's fine. "
" I know dreams, and dreams don't have you wailing in horror. " Chi-Chi shook her pointer finger, then rubbed her
hands together with delight, " The Ouji's having a nightmare! " she said almost sing-song-ish.
" Then I ESPECIALLY don't want anyone going up there. " Bulma nodded.
" But Veggie-- " Goku spoke up through the pillow.
" My house, my rules. He'll be alright just let him sleep it off. "

:::" OOF! " the slightly larger Goku landed hard on his feet, " Veggie that hurt! "
The ouji sweatdropped, " It's supposed to! We're BATTLING! " Vegeta exclaimed, then burst into ssj1. Goku burst into
ssj1 as well and the two launched themselves at each other. Goku teleported at the last second and kicked Vegeta out of the
ring, causing the ouji to land on his back on the strangely carpet-textured grass.
" Contestant Vegeta is out of bounds! Son Goku wins! " the announcer held Goku's arm up, the large saiyajin grinning
from ear-to-ear.
" WHAT?! " Vegeta exclaimed, " YOU'RE JOKING!? I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN STARTED AND--eh? " the ouji paused to see he was
suddenly unable to get up. The announcer led Goku out of the ring and back into the building, " Hey! HEY KAKARROTTO GET BACK
HERE I CAN'T GET UP! Why can't I get up? KAKARROTTO! " Vegeta shouted, then felt something moving around on his nose. His
nose twitched as if preparing to sneeze. Vegeta's eyes squinted shut, " AHH-- ":::
dl
/dl
dl
/dl
" --CHOOO! " the ouji sneezed.
" Ehhhhhh... " a small noise was heard as he fell off Vegeta's nose and hurtled downward.
" Huh? " Vegeta sleepily opened his eyes only to find he was not only laying on his back, on the floor next to his
bed, " How did I fall off the bed? " the ouji sweatdropped, then tried to shake his head clear and sit up only to find he
couldn't. Vegeta looked over at each of his arms to see they were tied down to the floor along with his legs; a reddish rope
strapping him. There was a faint carnival-esque music playing before him, " WHAT THE--?! " he looked straight ahead and saw
them. Kaka-germs. Thousands of them on his chest, stomach, legs, and arms; several climbing around in his hair. There were
miniature carnival rides stationed ontop of him; a rollercoaster, a carousel, a ferris wheel--all of them jam-packed with
kaka-germs as riders. One each of his arms were miniature ticket-booths were germs working there handed out tickets to other
germs waiting in line. On his tail was a large water-slide the kaka-germs easily sloshed downward on until they hit a small
pool plopped beside the tip of Vegeta's tail. Tiny multi-colored balloons floated in the air and the sounds of happy, germs
squeaked below.
" WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!! " Vegeta wailed.
Everything stopped and the kaka-germs stared at him in curiosity.
" What is WRONG with you! WHY have you tied me down!? And do I look like the grounds for an amusement park to you? "
the ouji exclaimed.
The germs smiled, then suddenly snuggled against him in unison and let out a loud collective purr.
Vegeta's face went bright red as he began to twitch, " Ooohhhh......WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! "
" VEGGIE! " Goku, Bulma, Chi-Chi burst into the room, " ... " Goku blinked at the sight, " Veggie? "
" Get...them...OFF. DO IT NOW! " Vegeta gritted his teeth, trying to keep himself conscious.
" Wow, Goku's germs conquered the Ouji. " Chi-Chi said, impressed.
" Oh my..Vegeta how did this happen? " Bulma tried to keep from giggling at the expression on the ouji's face.
" Oh, I don't know Bulma. I went to sleep on my stomach ON my bed; and suddenly I wake up on my BACK tied to the
FLOOR while Kaka-germs use me for their carnival-grounds!!! " Vegeta started out innocently, then spat by the time he reached
the end of his explanation.
" Hmm, " Goku observed the germs, " That is strange, not all of these germies are mine. "
Vegeta's eyes widened, " What. " he said flatly.
" The little germs that look exactly like mine who are running all the stands and machines; they aren't mine. My
germs are red; these germs are reddish-orange. "
Vegeta stared closely at some of the germs as they squiggled past him. Several of said germs did have an strange
orangish tint to them, " They're not from you. " he said slowly, " They're from a different type-3 saiyajin.... " he suddenly
narrowed his eyes, " And there's only one other type-3 saiyajin around here besides you, and that would be-- "
" --Turles? " a voice chirped from beside him.
Vegeta glanced over to see Turles suddenly in the room, smirking at him, " ... "
" Yes Vegeta-san? "
" Get them off. NOW. " the ouji twitched.
Turles shrugged, " Very well. " he let out a whistle. All the Turles-germs instantly dashed off of Vegeta, taking
their rides and booths with them and leaving the kaka-germs disoriented and confused.
" What was that about? " Bulma sweatdropped.
" Oh, I couldn't get to sleep and my germs happened to concoct this deliciously evil-sounding scheme, so I decided
to let them go for it. " Turles motioned to the tied up Ouji. He held out one of his germs and smirked, " So, how much
money did you make off of Kakarrotto's germs? "
The little germ squeaked out his answer in Turles ear.
" YOU LET THEM IN FOR FREE!? "
" It was a nice thing to do. " the Turles-germ smiled.
" Nnn.. " a vein bulged on Turles's forehead.
" I do recall hearing you say your germs weren't quite as evil as yourself happen to be. " Vegeta grinned up at him
in small victory.
" Well, it sounded evil the way they explained it to me! " Turles blurted out, then narrowed his eyes at the germ,
" You said there would be suffering! "
" I did? " the germ looked confused and cocked his head.
" Do you mind telling me why they chose MY BODY as their place of gathering? " Vegeta asked while Goku happily
untied the little ouji with the aid of his kaka-germs.
" Because they could easily get Kakarrotto's germs to come to the carnival if it was on you rather than anyone else
who lives in this house. " Turles explained, then snickered, " You know, what with their Kakarrotto-influenced desire to be
'close' to you. " he taunted.
" Uh.. " Vegeta looked over at Goku, who was blushing lightly and smiling affectionately at him. The ouji sat up as
his face turned bright red.
" Heehee. " Goku waved to him while fiddling with his gi shirt.
" Don't look at the Ouji like that he'll think you're having non-platonic thoughts about him! " Chi-Chi chastised
the larger saiyajin.
Goku looked away, " Yes Chi-chan. "
" No need to reprimand him; its natural for non-evil type-3 saiyajin, such as Kakarrotto here, to form close
personal bonds with fellow saiyajin they admire, such as Vegeta-san. " he motioned to the smaller saiyajin.
" Are you insinuating what you were insinuating earlier? " Vegeta's eyes narrowed dangerously at Turles.
" I don't know, what would that non-described something be? " Turles grinned, " Sexual tension? Between two of my
last remaining fellow saiyajin? "
This time the ouji's face practically exploded with redness.
" Umm, Turles, " Bulma put a hand on his shoulder, " There's certain "terms" we don't use around Vegeta; like
"sexual". Could you please avoid using that word and all words that branch off from it in his presence? "
" It must be pretty strong of a tension, huh Vegeta-san? " Turles said slyly.
Vegeta let out a little squeak.
" There IS no tension!! " Chi-Chi shouted, " At least not from Goku-san's end of the relationship. The OUJI however,
is anyone's guess. " she smirked.
" Uh-- " Goku spoke up.
Chi-Chi momentarily froze, " Hey! Goku-san! Here have a lollipop! " she whipped one out and handed it to him. Goku
sniffed it, then unwrapped the treat and bit off the entire edible part and sucking on it like a gumball instead. Chi-Chi
stared at him blankly.
Goku wagged his tail, " :) "
" Yah. " she sweatdropped.
" You know what, maybe we should all get going and let Vegeta finish his nap, huh? " Bulma offered.
" Alright. " Turles shrugged, following her out of the room, " By the way, how do you like my work on your
electronic amusement box? "
Bulma gawked, " YOU did something to Trunks's ps2?! "
" Umm..I mean, no? "
" ... "
" Did it try to attack its players? "
" YES! "
" Then yes. That was me. " he partially raised his hand.
Bulma sighed, " In that case you wouldn't mind undoing the damage, would you? "
" You mean relieving the machine of its urge to attack all those who touch its controllers? " Turles blinked, " Of
course! "
" Good. Now follow me, its down in the lab. "
" Be careful Turles! There are needles in the lab! " Goku called out, warning him; his voice slightly muffled by
the candy in his mouth. Goku looked down at the stick that had been attached to the lollipop and tossed it in the garbage can
in Vegeta's room.
" Needles!? " Turles paused in mid-step.
" You're not afraid too, are ya? " Bulma looked over her shoulder at him.
" No. Of course not. For I am evil and so are needles and in such case I have formed an evil alliance with them and
have no fear of having such an object usually used in the medical field punctured into my skin to either extract my blood or
fill it with some un-named chemical. " he said astutely.
" I can just bring the ps2 back upstairs if you'd rather-- "
" --hai. Let's do that. " Turles smiled.
" Hmm. " Chi-Chi waved her hand infront of Vegeta's glowing face, " He's still out. " she sweatdropped.
" Coming through! " Goku cheered and dumped a bucket-full of cold water over Vegeta's head.
" AAAAAAAAAH! " Vegeta yelped at the sudden chill. He blinked as the redness instantly faded, " ... "
" Veggie feelin' better now? " Goku asked.
" Uh...wait, oh yeah I remember now! " the ouji said, then sent a death-glare out the door, " TURLES!! "
" Eh? " Turles turned around just as Vegeta screeched to a halt before him.
" You have insulted your ruler with the idea that he and Kakarrotto share non-platonic feelings for one another with
is NOT TRUE. Therefore, I demote you! " he tapped Turles on the shoulder.
Turles sweatdropped, " I don't think you CAN demote me, Vegeta-san. I'm a 3rd-class saiyajin. There isn't exactly a
4th. "
" Oh. " Vegeta said.
" ... "
" ... "
" Well then. I hereby promote you to 2nd, then demote you back to 3rd! " he tapped Turles two more times, then spun
back around, " My work here is done. " Vegeta snorted and re-climbed the stairs back to his room.
Turles waited for a moment, then walked over to Bulma, " Is it natural for me to be this confused after the first
week? "
" You're new here, that's all. You'll get used to it. " Bulma chuckled lightly, then handed him the ps2, " Now tell
me, exactly what did you do to Trunks's video game anyway...? "

" So many channels, you'd think there'd be at least SOMETHING good on. " Juuhachigou sighed as she sat on the couch
and flipped through the channels, a sleeping chibi Marron leaning against her. She smiled at the chibi.
" Our top news story: the previous, 3-time Martial Arts Champion of the World--Hercule, will NOT be participating in
this weekend's Tenkaichi Budoukai. "
" WHAT?! " Juuhachigou instantly turned her attention back to the tv, " KURIRIN! Get in here! " she called out to
him.
" What is it? " Kuririn got worried at the tone of her voice, then, seeing Juuhachigou and Marron were alright,
walked over and looked at the tv screen, " Hmm? "
" According to the Champ's inside sources, he's come down with a terrible case of the flu and will be out of
commission for several weeks. " the newscaster said. The camera switched to a picture of a grinning Hercule head while the
man's voice spoke from behind it.
" °COUGH° I apologize to all my °COUGH° fans out there who were looking forward to seeing me °COUGH° win another
Budoukai. However, °COUGH° Hercule feels it would be unfair to fight while not in °COUGH° top condition. I plan to take
medication for my particular case of the °COUGH° flu and my doctor says I should recover by early September. " the picture
switched back to the newscaster.
" When asked for video-feed, the Champ declined, saying he didn't want the public to see him bedridden. Now here's
Joe with the weather! "
Juuhachigou shut the tv off.
" Wow, looks like somebody got to Hercule. I know he wouldn't skip out on a Budoukai without a reason. " Kuririn
nodded.
" All the better; this time maybe I'll actually come in first instead of just runner up. " Juuhachigou stood up.
" You--you mean you're going to enter? " he asked, surprised.
" Aren't you? "
" Well, it's just that---you know Goku and Vegeta are probably going to be entering, and who knows about Piccolo. I
probably would just barely be able to beat Piccolo--and that's only if I had an unbelievable strategy. " Kuririn scratched
his head.
" That doesn't mean you shouldn't sign up at all. " Juuhachigou shook her head, " Besides, who knows? Maybe something
will show up again this year and cause them all to leave early. "
" Wishful thinking. " Oolong commented as he passed by. Juuhachigou bopped him over the head, " Oww! "
" Listen, we don't even know if they know about the Budoukai being this weekend. If we don't tell them and they
don't find out we'll win easily! " she said.
" I'd feel a little bad, at least not telling Gohan; afterall, he's the one who told us about the last Budoukai. "
" Yes, but Gohan is off on his honeymoon. "
" Point. "
" ...good. " she smiled, " We can even take the new car we bought with some of our winnings from the 26th tournament.
" Juuhachigou opened a window and motioned to the large red sports car sitting beside the Kame house on the little island.
" How are we going to drive it there? " Kuririn sweatdropped as he looked out onto the ocean.
" Simple. It converts to a boat when it hits saltwater. " she explained, then left the room, " Now come on, we have
to get some training in before Saturday! "
Kuririn grinned, " Right! "

" So there's going to be a tournament? " Mirai asked as he sat backwards on a kitchen chair. Bulma was putting away
the smoothie supplies Vegeta had sleepily forgotten to place back where he got them from, " Can I enter? "
" Of course. Afterall Vegeta, Trunks, Vejitto, and Gogeta are all entering. " Bulma said, " OH! But its against
Budoukai rules to use weapons. No sword. "
Mirai paused in the middle of shining the object, then frowned, " Aww... " he put it away in its sheath.
" Yes, LOTS of people will be entering the Budoukai THIS year.. " Chi-Chi said mysteriously as she stood against
the living-room wall.
Mirai cocked an eyebrow.
" YEEEAAAAHHHHHH! " a semi-war-cry came from nearby as Gogeta suddenly appeared and it the ground, stomach-first.
Vejitto followed and tackled him to the ground.
" OOF! "
" As long as you are entering Mirai, you could train with Goggie and I if you like! " Vejitto chirped.
Gogeta kicked Vejitto off and punched him in the stomach the same moment Vejitto kicked at him, " Yeah! Its fun to
spar! "
" If you're waiting to use the gravity room Vegeta's done in there. " Bulma sweatdropped. The two fusions instantly
paused their sparring session.
" Really? "
" The Ouji's recharging his energy upstairs. " Chi-Chi commented, then admitted sourly, " Goku-san's watching him. "
" Watching him SLEEP? " Mirai looked confused.
" At least with the Ouji unconscious nothing bad could happen to Goku-san in there. " she shrugged, " He insisted on
staying and watching the Ouji, nothing I could do to stop him. "
" Hmm... "
" ? " Chi-Chi blinked, then turned slightly only to shriek to see Gogeta directly behind her, " EEEK! "
" You are plotting something. " he said with a suspicious, Goku-esque expression on his face.
" I'm not plotting anything!! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, then turned around only to nearly fall over; Vejitto stood on her
other side, " WAH! What is WITH you two. "
" Your plot isn't going to hurt Mommy, is it Chi-Chi? "
" NO! Well, not in the way my plots NORMALLY would and--it's none of your business what I'm planning to do. " she
folded her arms.
The fusions shrugged.
" Oh-kay then. " Vejitto said, then smiled at his fellow fusion, " Let's go, Goggie! We'll go spar in Mommy's
gravity room for a while, and then have some ice-cream! "
" I do enjoy ice-cream, Jitto! " Gogeta grinned.
" As do I! " the portara fusion chirped, and with that they walked off.
Gogeta paused and poked his head out around the corner of the hallway, " Are you coming, Mirai? "
" No, that's oh-kay. I'll be training on my own thanks. " he waved to him.
Gogeta blinked, then turned back and followed Vejitto down the hall.

" Veggie. " Goku said as he sat down on the floor next to the ouji's bed, watching him, " I know it'd upset Veggie if
I stayed in his room while he's asleep but I have a bad feeling. "
Vegeta's tail, who was wide awake, glanced over at him. Goku turned to Nango.
" You know when you have a feeling like something terrible is looming far off in the future so you gotta make sure
your Veggie's safe and that nothing bad's gonna happen to him? I got that when I tried to leave earlier. " he nodded.
Nango tilted himself slightly, understanding.
" So I thought I'd feel better if I stayed with Veggie for a little while, and I do. " Goku smiled at Nango, " I
really do feel better. Veggie's not gonna disappear forever if I leave the room, right. " he patted the sleeping ouji on the
back, " He'll still be here, sound a-sleep and waiting to wake up and play with me. "
The tail sent him a mental message.
Goku chuckled, " And you'll still be here too. "
" Goku-san! " the door to Vegeta's room opened.
" Chi-chan? " Goku looked over at her, confused.
" Goten and I have to run an errand here in West City, it'll only take about 10 or 15 minutes.....will the Ouji still
be asleep when we get back? "
" I dunno, Veggie's never taken a nap in the middle of the day be-fore. " Goku glanced back over at Vegeta
momentarily.
" Well, then make sure he's still asleep by then. Be back soon! Bye! " Chi-Chi waved, then closed the door.
" Hm. " Goku tilted his head, " Chi-chan just leaving me here to keep watch over Veggie without reprimanding me for
it is very strange indeed. I wonder why Chi-chan would do such a thing.... "

" Hey Kaasan! Look at me I'm Gohan! " Goten laughed. Chi-Chi looked over at him and sweatdropped to see Goten with
a pair of sunglasses and a bandana on his head.
" Goten put those back; we're on an important mission and we don't have much time--no fooling around here. " Chi-Chi
pointed out.
" Why? You never told me why we came to the cloth shop anyway. " the chibi looked confused.
" Hn... " Chi-Chi folded her arms in thought, " Goten, can you keep a secret? "
" There's a secret? " Goten's eyes instantly widened, " I wanna know! " he gushed.
Chi-Chi smirked, " Alright, I'll tell you but you have to promise not to tell ANYONE. "
" Not even Trunks? "
" Not even Trunks. "
" OOOOOH. " Goten oohed.
" Here it is. I'm going to be entering the Tenkaichi Budoukai along with you and your toussan, only I'm going
incognito. " she said.
" COOL! Kaasan's gonna fight TOO! " Goten cheered, " ...what's enkog-neato? " he asked, baffled.
Chi-Chi sighed, " It means I'm going to enter anonymously and wear a costume so your toussan and the Ouji won't be
able to recognize me. " she explained.
" Just like niichan and my new big sister when they fight the bad guys in Orange City!! "
" Exactly! " she smiled, " Now follow me, I'm going to need something to cover part or all of my face, and I'll
probably need something for my hair; you wouldn't mind being my training partner during this little escapade leading up to
the Budoukai saturday, would you Goten? "
" Sure Kaasan! "
" Great!— "

" And, there. Should be good as new. " Turles patted the ps2 on its top.
Trunks stared at the ps2, then at the cheesily grinning Turles, " Yet somehow I don't believe you. " he said
skeptically.
" Aw, come on. Just because I'm evil doesn't mean I lie all the time. "
" ... "
" :) "
" Then you turn it on. " Trunks smirked.
" Ah, I'd rather not. You see, we type-3 saiyajin aren't all that ingenious when it comes to electronic equipment. "
" But you said you were an evil type-3 saiyajin. Doesn't that mean you're good at the exact opposite of what a
regular type-3 saiyajin is good at? " Trunks watched him cautiously.
" ...nnnnes? " Turles randomly thought up.
" Nes? "
" It's a combination of yes and no. "
" You mean "maybe"? "
" No, "maybe" indicates an indecisiveness. Nes is much better. "
" It isn't even a word. "
Turles whipped out a handy saiyago-to-english dictionary and scanned down one of the pages, " Hm, what do you know,
it IS in here. "
" Oh come on! You're joking! " Trunks exclaimed.
" Really. Take a look. " Turles handed him the book.
Trunks flipped through it, " You just made that up! There is no "nes" in here! " he looked up only to see Turles no
longer there but instead a fading puff of smoke you'd usually see in a cartoon as a leftover from someone darting off at a
very fast pace, " He, tricked me. " the demi-saiyajin said, shocked, " THAT'S NOT FAIR YOU GET BACK HERE AND HELP ME WITH MY
PS2!!! "

" Hm... " Vegeta mumbled in his sleep. There was a ki nearly right beside him. An certain, especially warm ki that
made him nervous whether or not to open his eyes. The little ouji took a deep breath and decided to do so only to see his
'favorite peasant' staring at him in a daze, " AH-HAH! " Vegeta bolted awake and sat up, " Ah... "
" ... "
" Heh-heh, hi there, Kakarrotto. " the ouji laughed nervously, " Why are you still in my room? "
" You'll never leave me, will you Veggie? " Goku said clearly.
" ? " Vegeta blinked, confused, " What made you think that? "
" ... " the larger saiyajin reached over and hugged him tightly.
Vegeta sighed, " Never Kakarrotto. I will never leave you. " he patted Goku on the back.
Goku held on even tighter.
" Hahahaha, ahh. " a snort came from the doorway.
Vegeta looked over to see Turles standing there snickering at them. The ouji sweatdropped, then grabbed a pillow and
chucked it at the other type-3 saiyajin's head, causing him to fall over, " BWAHAHA! " he then tried to pull out of Goku's
hug only to find the larger saiyajin's grip enhance even more when he made his attempt. Vegeta's cheeks flushed red, " Do you
mind telling me what's gotten you so over-protective in the last 2 hours? "
" I have a terrible feeling. " Goku whispered, " That something horrible is going to happen to my Veggie. "
" At the Budoukai. " Vegeta said flatly, " Listen, I'm not going to go blow myself up this time because there aren't
any more "bad guys" for us to fi-- "
" --not at the Budoukai. It's farther away, Veggie. Like in the future! " Goku looked up at him.
" The future. " Vegeta said skeptically, then chuckled, " You can see into the future now, eh Kakay? " he teased.
" ... " the larger saiyajin stared at him with huge, shimmering eyes.
" Ah, haha, ha ha ha...yeah. " Vegeta finally slid out of Goku's hold and hopped off his bed. The ouji put his gloves
and boots back on, then headed for the door. He walked over to Turles and picked the pillow up off his semi-unconscious head,
then sprayed it with peasant-repel and tossed the pillow back onto his bed, " You comin? " he asked Goku.
" I will follow you anywhere, Veggie... " Goku murmured.
" Umm....of course you will! Afterall, I am your ruler! " Vegeta laughed boastfully, trying to cover up his
nervousness at the larger saiyajin's fear, " Now come, Kakarro---OH! " he yelped to see Goku suddenly standing beside him,
back to his cheerful, grinning self, " ...and there you are. " he looked back and forth between his now empty bed and Goku,
" Right, now follow me! "
" You got it little Veggie! " Goku chirped and happily followed him down the hall.

" °Bum°bum°ba°bum° °Bum°ba°bum° °Bum°ba°BUM°! " Vegeta marched down the stairs, followed by a happy-looking Goku.
Bulma paused as she was about to enter the lab, " Now what? " she sweatdropped.
" Kakarrotto fears for my life, so he's following me to make sure nothing "horrible" happens to me. " Vegeta said in
a mock-wise way.
" I get to sleep in Veggie's room tonight! " Goku grinned.
" ACK! " Vegeta nearly fell over, " I NEVER SAID THAT!! "
" I asked Veggie earlier but Veggie ignored my question and instead started to make that "bum-ba-bum" noise just
now. " Goku spoke up.
" Oh....yes, well, as I have just stated--the answer is no. "
" Aww... " Goku pouted.
" I don't exactly think Chi-Chi would agree to that anyway. " Bulma laughed nervously, " I mean, you can TRY, but
I can't promise you anything. "
Goku turned to Vegeta, " If Chi-chan says yes will Veggie let me sleepover? "
" Uh, sure Kakarrotto! " he patted Goku on the shoulders. Goku gave the ouji a quick hug, then let go and started
dashing off in-search of Chi-Chi.
" Chi-chan! Chi-chan where are you? " he followed her ki and skidded to halt before Mrs. Brief's sewing room. Goku
opened the door, " Chi-chan? "
Chi-Chi froze. She had a piece of cloth in her hand, a sewing-needle in her mouth, and Goten standing on a stool
wearing a large piece of cloth with a hole in it for his head, " ONT CUM ANNI KOSER! " she shouted through the needle.
" ...what? " Goku blinked, confused.
Chi-Chi spat the needle out, " DON'T COME ANY CLOSER! " she zipped infront of Goten.
" Chi-chan is making a costume? Is it a surprise? " Goku guessed.
" YES. AND YES. NOW GO! FLEE BEFORE THE SURPRISE IS REVEALED! " Chi-Chi waved her arms in the air.
" EEP! " Goku ran out of the room, closing the door behind him. He paused, then opened the door again, " Chi-chan can
I sleepover Veggie's? " he asked quickly.
Chi-Chi bit her lip. She glanced over at how far she'd gotten on her outfit, then calculated how much time she'd need
to train with Goten, " Nuh-----well, " she stared at the innocent expression on the large saiyajin's face, " Willyoubegoodand
followtherules? "
" Yes! " Goku chirped.
Chi-Chi mentally smacked herself the the complexity of her plan coinciding with the amount of time Goku was normally
home, " FINE! GO! SLEEPOVER! " she snapped.
Goku's eyes widened in excitement, " WHEE!!! " he zipped over and glomped her, " Oh THANK YOU Chi-chan! You have been
so especially nice to me today! If I win the tournament this weekend I will buy you a very nice gift to further show my
a-ppreciation! " Goku let go and ran back out of the room, " HEY VEGGIE! GUESS WHAT? " Goku's voice gushed from off in the
distance.
" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! " a scream was heard, soon followed by a loud thump.
Chi-Chi smiled, " Somehow, I feel better. "

And so, the day of the 27th Tenkaichi Budoukai arrived.
" °purrrrr°... " Goku smiled contently as he lay in his sleeping-bag at the far end of Vegeta's room. The ouji had
moved his bed to the opposite corner of his bedroom to avoid any contact with the kaka-germs while he slept. Goku had had a
wonderful time training for the tournament with the smaller saiyajin, and, while they hadn't achieved any new levels or
created any new techniques, Goku was sure he and Vegeta were stronger than they'd been at the beginning of the week. It was
going to be one of the most challenging final rounds ever. A huge grin crossed Goku's face at this thought.
" This is gonna be one of the BEST DAYS EVER! " he gushed, flopping onto his back.
" Huh? " Vegeta said groggily.
Goku hopped out of his sleeping-bag, already wearing his gi, and ran over to Vegeta's bed, " VeggieVeggie! Guess
what today is! " he said in a sing-song voice.
" Uh....Saturday? " the ouji sat up, only wearing his blue boxers.
" Well, yes, but BETTER! It is the Saturday which the Tenkaichi Budoukai takes place on! " Goku grinned, then whipped
out Vegeta's alarm clock, " Gotta hurry Veggie! We only have 4 hours to get there! "
" Hm.. " Vegeta sat up and took the alarm clock from Goku, " 5:30am?! Why did you wake me up this early?! "
" BECAUSE, Veggie has to get ready! If Veggie's not ready then he won't get to the tournament in time and if he does
not get to the tournament IN TIME.....then he won't be able to register and participate in the fun. " Goku pouted at the
thought.
" WHAT?! " Vegeta exclaimed.
" It's true. You have to register before a certain time of day or else you can't enter. " Goku shook his head, " That
almost happened to Kuririn, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, AND Chaoutzu at the 23rd Budoukai. They made it JUST IN TIME! " he nodded,
then folded his arms, " I cannot i-magine what the Budoukai would be like without them. "
" None of them are entering this year; and only Kuririn entered the previous one. " Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Oh yeah! " Goku chimed in, " Heehee, I'm so excited I forgot! " he couldn't keep the grin off his face.
" Now, " Vegeta hopped out of bed, " For me to get ready. " he reached for his boxers, then paused.
" ... "
" ... "
" :) "
The ouji sweatdropped at the anxiously happy saiyajin peasant before him, " Do you mind? "
Goku's face went blank, " Mind what? "
" Leaving the room so I can get dressed? "
" Isn't Veggie going to shower? "
" I'll shower AFTER I win the tournament. " Vegeta smirked, " Afterall we're both just going to get sweaty fighting
each other in the final round anyway. "
" Silly Veggie, you don't know that? "
" That I'll get sweaty? " he cocked an eyebrow.
" No, that you'll win. " Goku smiled.
Vegeta folded his arms, " OH HO HO, it seems a certain peasant of mine is gathering quite the little ego living with
me for the past several days instead having it suppressed by Onna and her ridiculous rules. " he chuckled.
" Hee—— "
" Hm, I suppose you're right in that respect; it's going to be an awful close battle, but I still believe that I will
emerge the victor. " Vegeta boasted, then thought for a moment, " Why HAS Onna been letting you stay over here the past
several days? That seems unusually out of character for her. "
" Oh, Chi-chan's busy working on a big surprise, so I can't be around to accidentally see it. " Goku explained, " I
hope she takes her time though cuz I luv staying at Veggie's! It makes my insides feel so much healthier! "
" Yes. You don't have to be on your toes all the time, eh? " Vegeta walked over to his closet and took out his
training gear.
Goku looked down at his toes and wiggled them, " ? "
Vegeta sighed, " Nevermind; the entire concept just flies right over your head. Now could you please leave the room
and let me get changed? Wouldn't want to make us BOTH late. " he smirked.
" °GASP°! Yes Veggie! " Goku grabbed his boots and dashed out of the room to put them on. Vegeta closed the door
behind him.
Goku plopped on the floor and started to put on his left boot.
" Hey Son-san! "
" ? " Goku looked up, " Ah, Mirai! Hello! " he smiled, " How'd your training go? All ready for the tournament? "
" I think so, I keep subconsciously moving my arms like I'm still wielding my sword though; you know that thing's very
hard to temporarily ween yourself off of. " Mirai demonstrated by throwing several quick punches in the air at a speed only
someone as strong as Goku could see. The larger saiyajin watched carefully; Mirai's fists were only partially clenched, and
instead of moving directly forward, they swerved like they were slicing something. The demi-saiyajin stopped, " Haha, that's
as good as I got with that. " he laughed nervously, " But the rest of my body's in great shape so it shouldn't bother my
fighting that much. "
" We won't have to worry about much this tournament, no Hercule! " Goku laughed as he put his right boot on.
" Yeah, that'll definitely be a relief from two years ago. " Mirai said.
The door beside Goku suddenly swung open, causing Goku to quickly jump to his feet, thereby avoiding being slammed
into the wall.
" I AM READY! " Vegeta stepped out, wearing his usual navy blue tank-top and pants, along with the white gloves and
yellow-tipped white boots. His tail swished proudly about in the air.
" Little Veggie watch where you are going. " Goku sweatdropped, then grinned and glomped the smaller saiyajin, " You
look GREAT, Veggie! "
" I don't get it that's what Toussan wears every day. " Mirai sweatdropped this time.
" No I don't. " Vegeta turned head towards the demi-saiyajin from the alternate future while Goku continued to glomp
the ouji.
" What did you wear yesterday? "
" ...this? "
" What did you wear the day before that? "
" ...this? "
" SEE! " Mirai exclaimed.
" Hey, its not like I don't wash my clothes; besides I have a couple shirts and pants like this. " Vegeta said as
Goku set him down, " Besides, it shows off my masculine physique. "
" WHAT "masculine physique"? You have LOVE HANDLES!? " Mirai poked one of them.
Vegeta twitched, " Since Kakarrotto is present I am giving you 5 seconds to leave before I slap you thusly. " he sent
Mirai a death-glare.
" But-- "
" THREE, FOUR, FI-- "
" °FWOOSH°! "
" Such a large puff of smoke...haha, you can tell he's been training! " Goku nodded as he watched Mirai race off
into the distance. Goku then paused, " Veggie you do realize you skipped right past numbers 1 and 2? "
" I meant to do that; it was a mental attack upon Mirai's psyche to get him to move. " Vegeta said wisely. He
cocked an eyebrow, " Since when did your I.Q jump up 10 points? "
" Since I have been living with my Veggie! " Goku said warmly.
" Hai...I see, my royal intelligence is rubbing off on you much the way your Kaka-germs rub off on me--in a sense. "
" Innocence? " Goku tilted his head, confused.
" ... " Vegeta stared at him, " Nevermind, come on Kakarrotto, let's go find the others and get the plane together;
we have to stop to pick up your brother before we get to the tournament grounds. " he headed towards the stairs.
Goku saluted him, " You got it, little Veggie! "

" Well Goten? What do you think? " Chi-Chi stood before the little chibi in her new uniform; which was obviously
based on Saiyaman and Saiyagirl's outfits. On her head was one of Gohan's spare red Saiyaman bandanas; she wore another,
smaller red bandana to cover her nose and mouth. She wore a bleached version of one of her training shirts with the blue,
stretchy top to the saiyajin armor underneath it. For pants, Chi-Chi had altered one of Goku's spare gi pants to fit her,
and wore one of his gi sash's loosely around her waist. On her feet were her usual shoes, " I plan on using a cape when I
enter the ring, then flinging it off the way Piccolo does. "
" Looks cool, Kaasan! " Goten chirped in agreement.
" Why thank you! " she smiled, " I hope its worth it for all that time I left Goku-san with that evil little Ouji. "
she pulled up a chair and sat down, " God knows what the Ouji could've done to Goku-san during 4 whole days! " Chi-Chi tried
to block out all the frightening situations Goku could be in from being left alone with Vegeta, " But, but he's not ALONE
with the Ouji, I mean, Bulma, Mr and Mrs Briefs, Trunks, Mirai, Bura, Vejitto, and Gogeta all live in that house too. "
" I'm gonna beat Trunks this time! " Goten said cheerfully, then momentarily pouted, " He tricked me before so I
lost. But I'm ready for him now! "
" Are you allowed to go ssj in the tournament? "
The chibi paused, " I dunno. If Trunks isn't allowed to I probably won't be allowed to either, but if he is, then I
am! " Goten concluded.
Chi-Chi scratched her head, " Sure. Now let's hurry, we'll take the car and once we get there I want you to go meet
up with your toussan so he doesn't suspect I am who I really am. " she nodded determinedly, taking out her car keys and
heading outside.

" Mmmm...heeheehee. "
Vegeta felt his cheeks flush; he and the others were flying in Bulma's personal mini-plane, and he was sitting on the
window seat next to Goku, who currently had his head leaning against Vegeta's shoulder, " Bulma? How much longer until we're
at the tournament grounds? "
Bulma looked at her watch, " We've got a good 20 minutes, we should be there in time though. " she looked over her
shoulder at him and sweatdropped, " What's Son-kun doing? "
" Apparently, being Onna-less for 4 days causes Kakarrotto to dump his excess Kaka-warmth onto other people. " Vegeta
said, trying to remain calm at the warm mushy object pushing against his side.
Bulma smirked, " By "other people" you mean you. "
" ... " the little ouji shifted uneasily, " O--of course I mean me. Afterall, Kakarrotto admires me--he being MY
peasant and all. " Vegeta patted Goku on the shoulder.
" :) " Goku wagged his tail.
" See? I'm perfectly in charge of this situation. " Vegeta told Bulma.
" Oh-kay. " Bulma turned around, " I know you can handle it as long as you're in charge. "
" That I am! " the ouji said proudly.
" So, the tournament, it doesn't actually start until tomorrow. " Raditsu spoke up.
" That is correct, niichan! " Goku chirped from where he sat, " Today is the preliminaries; that's where we all get
our chance to fight the other people who have entered the competition until they level it down to 8 of us! "
Raditsu briefly counted the number of adults participating who were in the plane with him, " 6. "
" I WOULD compete, however SOMEONE happened to break my arm. " Turles snorted; in the seat behind Raditsu.
" You tried to kill us all, we could've just left you back by that tree to bleed to death. " Vegeta twitched, annoyed
" But we'd never do that, Turles. Veggie tried to kill us all too at one point but he's good now. " Goku said,
then looked up at the ouji w/big sparkily eyes, " Right, Veggie? "
Vegeta felt a lump in his throat as his face went bright red, " R--right. "
" I'll survive. Afterall, I'm leaving once this tournament's over; what do I need with Earth currency? " Turles said
outloud, trying to make himself feel better.
" You mean you are not coming back after you leave? " Vejitto asked, surprised.
" That is a shame. " Gogeta pouted.
" Well....maybe I'll come back on saiyajin holidays and such. " he bargained.
" We don't even know the equivalent of earth-days to Bejito-sei-days here. " Vegeta said glumly.
" Yeah, there would've been a lot more parties if Veggie knew. " Goku added.
" You all know your birthdays, don't you? " Turles pointed out.
" Our tails are self-aware of our "birthdays" so we're able to know ahead of time when that day is. " Vegeta
explained to the others, " Mine won't be for a while. "
" We should have a party then, especially for Veggie on his birthday! " Goku lit up, " With big chocolatey cakes and
little paper hats and streamers and confetti... "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " I'd be happy with just the cake...and maybe presents. LOTS of presents. "
" Oh brother. " Bulma sweatdropped.
Goku glanced out the front window and gasped with delight, " HEY LOOK! " he bounced past Vegeta and up next to Bulma,
" It's the Tenkaichi Budoukai ISLAND! " Goku gushed, " It brings back such happy mem-mor-ies...... "
" The tournament is on an island? " a thought-bubble appeared over Raditsu's head of a tiny island with one palmtree
on it.
Vegeta leaned over and popped the bubble, " No, baka. It's much bigger than that! "
" Why would they have it on an island? " Turles looked out the window.
" I never really thought about it...maybe it adds atmosphere or something to it. " Bulma said.
" Well I like it just fine! " Goku said cheerfully, " Don't you, Veggie? " he looked over his shoulder at the ouji.
" Ah, it's nice, Kakarrotto. "
The larger saiyajin smiled warmly at him.
::Maybe it was a mistake letting Kakarrotto stay over so many days:: Vegeta thought, mentally sweatdropping as he
tried to prevent another rush of heat to his face.
" Everyone make sure you're strapped in, we're going to be landing in 5 minutes. " Bulma spoke over the small
intercom in the plane.
" Do you really need to use that? We can all hear you without it. " Raditsu asked, confused.
" It sounds more official this way. " Bulma nodded thoughtfully.
" Can I use it? "
She turned to see Vegeta standing there, grinning, " I...don't think so. "
" Hm. " Vegeta pouted stubbornly and went back to his seat.

" WOW! Look at all the snack stands! " Vejitto said in awe.
" There were definitely not this many here last time. " Gogeta looked around.
" You weren't here last time. "
" In my own timeline I was! " the dance fusion grinned.
" Ah... " Vejitto ahhed, enlightened.
" So? Can we go super saiyajin this time? " Vegeta asked Bulma as the group walked towards the entry desk.
" Well.... " Bulma looked at all the other people around them, " I'd prefer you didn't--if only because I've seen how
how strong the winds you two make while in ssj are and watching as random people in the audience are thrown out of their
seats may not sit well with the people in charge; not to mention all the reporters who would be crowding my house after
seeing you two in ssj--they know Vegeta's my husba--ah, technically my live-in boyfriend, but still, they know who he is and
they'll end up swarming our house...and... "
" :( " Goku and the fusions were staring at her with pouty, saddened faces while Vegeta sweatdropped.
Bulma froze for a moment as something crossed her mind; Goku going oozaru at the 21st Tenkaichi Budoukai, " ..oh
yeah. I suppose that would be harder to explain than a super saiyajin...and no one really did ask about it...oh-kay! Here's
my decision; you can go ssj ONLY if you absolutely need to. "
" HOORAY! " Goku cheered, glomping onto Bulma.
" Thank you so much, Bulma-san! " Gogeta chirped, glomping onto her left arm.
" We promise to use it only in e-mergancies! " Vejitto happily nodded, glomping her right arm.
" My peasant and children agree. " Vegeta said wisely.
" Hahahaha...ah... " Bulma chuckled as the three saiyajin let go of her, " Now, to find the check-in booth! "
" There it is! " Raditsu said suddenly.
" Says the person who's height looms over us all. " Vegeta said.
" I'm not THAT tall. " Raditsu sweatdropped, " Now NAPPA, he's TALL. "
" Oh yeah...I momentarily forgot about him. "
" And that's spelled S O N G O K U. "
Vegeta and Raditsu looked over to see Goku already in the front of the line having the official sign him up.
" HEY! KAKARROTTO! " Vegeta exclaimed, zipping over to him, " Wait for us, will ya? " a small vein bulged on Vegeta's
head.
Goku blinked at him, then turned back to the official, " And this is Veggie. V E G -- "
Vegeta grabbed him by the collar and yanked Goku down to his height, embarrassed, " I'm NOT letting you register me
as Veggie. " he twitched, then turned his own attention to the official, " My name is Vegeta Oujisama. V E G E T A.
O U J I S A M A. "
" What is wrong with me registering Veggie as Veggie? " Goku asked, confused.
" There's a LOT wrong with it. " Vegeta said flatly, then let go of his collar, " You don't see me registering you
under your saiyajin name, do you? "
" I think Chi-chan would get mad if Veggie did that? "
" Hm...say, where IS Onna? " the ouji cocked an eyebrow, " I know she's plotting something...but I have no clue as
to what. "
" R A D I T S U K O I. " Raditsu spelled out for the official.
" TOUSSAN! " a little voice gushed from nearby.
" Kaka-spawn. " Vegeta instantly recognized it as Goten ran past him and up to Goku, " Why is it that every child
you have with Onna has the exact same voice as you anyway? At least the fusions sound like their voices are half yours and
half mine. " the ouji pondered outloud.
" We type-3 saiyajin have very dominate genes. " Turles spoke up, causing Vegeta to jolt at his sudden appearance,
" We're very good at survival. "
" I see... " the ouji said, still stunned by Turles Kaka-like ability to appear randomly.
Turles watched the other people around him, " The humans seem to be staring at me for some reason.... "
" Maybe you should've worn pants instead of your saiyajin armor. " Raditsu tugged at his dark maroon gi pants,
" Apparently on Earth, guys don't walk around in briefs without pants to cover them. "
" So....wearing pants on Earth is technically good-- "
" For guys, yeah. "
" --so not wearing them would by default be EVIL.. " he smirked.
Raditsu sweatdropped, " Ah, actually-- "
" --in that case, I shall continue to wear my saiyajin armor to advertise my evilness. " Turles decided, rubbing
his hands together sneakily, " GAZE UPON MY SAIYAJIN ARMOR AND COWER, HUMANS! " he shook his fist in the air.
Goku led Goten back over to the sign-in booth.
" I'd like to enter my son in the children's division. " Bulma said to the official.
" How old is he? "
" 10. "
" In a half. " Trunks coughed.
Bulma sweatdropped, " 10 and a half. "
" In that case, he makes it. The cut-off age for the children's division is 12. "
" Meaning the next time you have one of these, I'll be able to compete in the adult division. " Trunks pointed out.
" Yes. " he nodded.
" And Goten'll be stuck in the children's division for another tournament cuz he's a year younger than me. " Trunks
grinned.
" It depends on when the next Budoukai is; it shifts from 2 to 3 to 4 years. "
" Hm.. " Trunks frowned, not liking to be wrong.
" We would like to enter the adult division, please! " Vejitto chirped as he and Gogeta walked up to the booth.
" Alright, give me your names please. " the official stated.
" HEY! How come THEY get to enter the adult division!? THEY'RE EVEN YOUNGER THAN ME AND GOTEN! THEY'RE ONLY 2 YEARS
OLD!!! " Trunks exclaimed, exasperated.
The official chuckled, " Ho ho ho, quite an imagination you have there. I think I'd be able to tell if these two
young men were only 2 years old. "
Vejitto and Gogeta grinned Son-style at Trunks.
The chibi twitched.
" I'm Son Vejitto Oujisama, S O N V E J I T T O O U J I S A M A. "
" And I am Son Gogeta Oujisama! That is S O N G O G E T A O U J I S A M A. "
" Hi Trunks! "
Trunks looked up, " GOTEN! " he grinned at the younger chibi, " HI! I just registered. "
" I'm gonna register after my half-niichans are done registering. " Goten smiled, " OH! And Gohan's coming to the
tournament with Videl! He called kaasan last night to tell us! "
" That's great! " Trunks said, then smirked, " They can watch me beat you again. "
" HAHA! I've been training with Kaasan and I don't think you'll beat me this time! " Goten shook his finger, " Are
we allowed to go ssj? "
" Only incase of "emergencies". "
" That's better than last time though, right? " Goten said, trying to make him feel better.
" Yeah, I guess it is. " Trunks said, " Say how'd you get here? "
" I AM NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT THAT. " Goten said loudly, then smiled and went back to normal.
Trunks sweatdropped, " Weird. "
" I guess that means Onna dropped him off and went to perform whatever evil deed she's been plotting out over the
past several days. " Vegeta deduced.
" I'm not supposed to talk about that either. " Goten added, then looked over at the official and gave his name as
well.
" Is this the spot? " Mirai walked over to them.
" Yup! " Goku chirped, " Better hurry, Mirai, we gotta get over to where they're having the preliminaries so we can
pick our numbers! "
" Oh-kay. " Mirai said and got himself signed up.
" So, these "preliminaries", " Turles asked as the group walked towards a large building, " Where do we sit to watch
them from? "
" Well, technically, we don't. " Bulma said, " Non-participants aren't allowed into the preliminaries building;
however, we can use a technique I myself have learned from previous Budoukais. "
" And that would be...? "
" Watching through the windows! " she pointed to the windows near the top of the building's wall, " We'll need
something to stand on though, they usually have a sturdy box or two lying around. One year I used Oolong to help me! " she
grinned.
" ARE any of the others coming to watch the tournament? " Goku asked.
" Tenshinhan, Launch, and Chaoutzu should be here to see Tenshinhan get his medal. Yamcha's coming. I don't know
about Kuririn or Juuhachigou. Piccolo'll be here but he said he may be late...and Roshi, Oolong, and Turtle are all going
to watch the tournament on tv. "
" Ah... " Goku said, enlightened. He grabbed Vegeta by the hand, " Come little Veggie let's go draw our numbers! "
" Whoa! " Vegeta yelped suddenly as Goku yanked him off into the distance.
" Just don't end up in the same cell block! Then only one of you will make it to the tournament! " Bulma called out
after them.
" We will try not to! " Goku happily called back, waving. The other saiyajin and demi-saiyajin followed Goku and
Vegeta into the building.
Bulma turned to Turles, " I guess we should go look for something to stand on then. "
" I'm evil. Evil is quite content just to hover. " Turles said.
Bulma sighed, " Hovering will only drain the energy you need to heal that arm. "
" ...oh. Nevermind then. " Turles stopped hovering.
She perked up, " Now come help me get some boxes, I think I see some over there by the hot-dog stand. "

END OF PART TWO!
Chuquita: Alright! I can definitely see this one up by Wednesday if I get the reviewer-replies done by then and the
document manager decides to be my friend again! (If it decides not to then this chapter will be up on the 14th of August)
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Having fun, are you?
(Chu, Veggie, Goku, and the fusions are all plopped on the side of Veggie's bed)
Chuquita: Yes, yes I am. (points upward) I think I'm following usual Tenkaichi Budoukai format so far; training,
preliminaries, children's division, adult division.
Goku: When do I get my medal?
Chuquita: After the preliminaries.
Goku: Ahhh...
Chuquita: Also, for those wondering where my 90th fic, "Kakarroujo" went, a certain reviewer decided to report it 2
stories after the fact because said person was upset about a scene in
part 4 which I had 3 warnings in the actual chapter about and for. If you reviewed "Kakarroujo" I'm sure you most-likely
know who I'm talking about. (See full-story on this in my deviantart journal)
Goku: Out of courtesy we are not giving out the person's name.
Chuquita: (pouts) My poor "Kakarroujo" and all the nice reviews I got on it and it was especially special because not only
did it solve one of the MAJOR ongoing conflicts in my stories but it was the 90th-fic-Anniversary one.
Vegeta: (folds his arms stubbornly) When I say I don't want Kakarrotto as my Oujo its one thing, but when someone ELSE
comes by and decides to erase the entire incident that's a completely different thing altogether! (twitches, annoyed) Now I
half-feel like crowning Kakarrotto simply out of revenge!
Goku: (holds out crown, grinning in anticipation)
Vegeta: But I'm not! Because I don't want you to become my Oujo.
Goku: (pouts) :(
Chuquita: Anyways, I'm not completely sure what I'm doing yet with that story. I could either (A) Re-post it after this one
without the Corners. (B) Repost it after this one completely intact. Or (C) Post the intact version on deviantart and post
the Corner-less version here. Nonetheless I will continue to post my stories here because I luv writing them and I've
enjoyed my almost-4-year run here at so far.
Goku: One of the suggestions we got was to move it all to deviantart.
Chuquita: That idea is rolling around in my head, but for now I'm staying here. Special thanks to all my reviewers who gave
good reviews to "Kakarroujo" I luv you guys and I truely appreciate all your wonderful reviews. (gushes) And speaking of
reviews, here's the reviewer-replies!
To PiccoloDiamao1020: Thanks so much!
To Afrodite: Yup! The Non-Hercule tournaments in db were some of my favorties; which is one of the reasons I wanted to keep
Hercule out of this tournament. It had to do with the type of exercises they were doing. °nods° Veggie likes his "seme"
shirt; makes him feel more in-charge :) Thanks! I'm trying to keep the chapters around 60-some kb, that way they're not too
big or too small. Thanks so much :D
To Nuki: Aw, its oh-kay. I read fics offline when I have to get offline in the middle of reading one so other people can use
the phone. °nods° Turles'll be oh-kay. He gets his cast off at the end of the story. I will think about keeping him around a
lil longer :)
To Hakura0: Thanks so much! I'm thinking about what to do with Turles. I might keep him on as a main character for the next
fic, or he my leave at the end of this story temporarily. Either way he'll definitely be back sometime before fic 100. Yeah,
but you see if they worked the regeneration tank together to heal Turles, then he'd have no reason to stay. The fusions could
probably work the tank. Hee, cookie :)
To SacredGoggles: Part 1 was normal size, this chapter looks like its turning out to be over 70kb though '.';; Yeah, that
was what made the db Budoukais so great! I really enjoyed all 3 of them. If the next chapter turns out as planned, Goten and
Trunks's rematch should be in Part 3. Parisu will be there to cheer Goten on. Yup! Veggie's voice is deep like in the show.
I like Veggie's sub voice. Yeah I'd think it'd be around there. :)
To Cathowl: So cool! Happy to meet you, Gotoma, Gomi, and Mela. Hai, after Saturday's 'incident' I definitely know about that
warning. I may have to eventually do that, but for now I'm going to keep the Corners and try to be very careful. The person
who reported me actually had an entire story in script-form and another story with the person's own 'cornersque' thing. I
will indeed watch out. (nods thankfully) Heehee, the poor gamecube '.';; I've played on one before, they're fun! Ooh! Another
Vejitto and Gogeta? Good luck finding them! :) Who's Kaadra? Yup, tournaments early. I've seen it switch from 3 years to 4 in
db, so I figured 2 years couldn't be that unbelievable. Yeah, I'm glad there's no Hercule in this tournament. He's busy being
'sick'. Heehee. In that case, your Vegeta must deal with Goku more calmly than mine.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) I can be CALM if I want to!
To Cathowl: Yup, that's true. Goggie definitely has his reasons. I hope the chapter comes out soon too. (hopes that the
document manager is nice to her tomorrow) I'm definitely gonna relax from coloring in the comics now that I've finished
"Veggie's Trike". My current comic's about halfway finished being drawn.
To Snow Angel: Thanks! I will think about it; actually I have 3 other ideas-for-stories-that-reviewers-have-requested as
well. It's an interesting fic-idea though. I do like it.
To PerfectCell17: Thanks so much! I did get the game out of the ps2 the other day, but it looks like I'll have to replace
the system itself. Glad you liked the shirt gag :) That part was fun too. Yeah, Hercule not being in the tournament gives
everyone an equal shot again.
To Miyanon: That's a cool lil bit of information! Buu will appear in the preliminaries, but he won't make it to the tournament
. °cough°Getsthrownoutofthering°cough°. She bought a huge brand-new wardrobe, that new car she, Kuririn, and Marron are
driving to the tournament in, and a bunch of other stuff. Thanks, I'm happy I replaced my messy handwriting with text for the
comic too. Too often my handwritten stuff ends up looking like one long sentence '.';;
To Gie: Thanks! Glad you mentioned that about the fusions, cuz I decided to touch on that after I read your review. Also
thanks for correcting that; I haven't seen the Cell Games episodes in so long I somehow mixed up how many days the break was
for.
To Tonketa-Ouiji: Welcome back! I'm still undecided on who the winner of the Budoukai will be, I should have it decided by
the end of the next chapter though. °nods° Aw, thanks!
To Nekoni: Turles enjoyed teasing Veggie. He may taunt Veggie on the subject of "Kakarrotto" later on in the fic. If I
remember from the 23rd Budoukai it was 2 fighters to a room; so yeah, I can put Goku and Veggie in the same room. Heehee,
Veggie just barely survived sharing his own room with Goku; and that's when he had space to move his bed. HEE—— Thank u!
I liked how in the show Veggie was completely shocked at how easily Trunks adapted to the heavy gravity. Haha, Veggie was
frightened at the first position. Really? In that case that could've happened to Chi-Chi when she stepped into the room
earlier. Maybe she got lucky cuz she wasn't under the gravity that long...°thinks°. Heh, I bet if Goku wore Veggie's "seme"
shirt long enough he'd permanently stretch it out so it'd be huge on Veggie. The "uke" shirt's fate will be decided later on
in the fic. Thanks so much!!
To BlackDragonFury: Yes he is. Veggie's insecurity and imagination just run away with him sometimes. That's why Hercule's
gone from this tournament. Aww, that'd be so nice of Veggie to do that if he wins. Ooh! A Son-kun club! Sure I'll join! I
add it to my deviantwatch list, right? Thanks! It does take a lot of patience to color in the comics, but I really like how
they look when I'm done coloring, so I'm gonna color in the next comic as well, once I finish drawing it.
To orchideater: °sniffle° I miss Planet Namek SO! It was the very first dbz website I ever went to! They had so much cool
stuff; shame back then all I had was my 5GB windows95 or I would have more than just a dozen images-or-so from them on that
old comp upstairs. I must've come in later to not have heard of WritersU or ForChan's. Was WritersU the place for fanfics
before ? Aw don't worry, I won't leave! I luv writing my fics and posting 'um here. Turles seems to be likable,
I may keep him around for another fic; or instead of having him leave in his spaceship--allow him to have his ship just orbit
Earth so he can come down anytime he wants to see the others. Yes it was Turles who made the adjustments to Trunks's ps2.
Goten and Trunks with the tail was fun. Veggie's uke-phobia did seem obvious to Turles. Glad you liked the gift Veggie got.
Bulma and Goku are going to buy the Budoukai tapes sometime in part 3 or 4. I have a basic layout for the first couple
Budoukai rounds, but there's still room for me to switch people around in it. As I have it now, Chi-Chi loses to Veggie in
round 2. Veggie and Goku are against each other in the final round. Raditsu has been working hard. LOL! Knocking each other
out. I'll figure out which one of them will win soon; I'm really undecided between Goku and Veggie right now. He could use
the money.
To Spot & Jenna: Glad you liked the picture! Heehee, poor Hiei, he got hugged. A new sword! Cool! A party! Heh, the cat's
funny. Kareoke time! Poor InuYasha. °snickers°. Interesting way to end the party :) Hee, Bardock loves Celipa. Vash couldn't
use the bathroom! It's oh-kay, I like your reviews :) Yup! You're friends :)
To DW: That would be Trunks's luck that the tail would be violet. I'm not sure what it'd be named. LOL! So much fur. I guess
if that did happen Goten and Trunks would have to have the fur cut every once in a while. Trunks might get his tail back.
Yup! The db tournaments without Hercule were good.
To dglsprincess105: Heehee, definitely no interruptions this time! It'll probably be either Goku or Veggie. I will try to
update soon (hopes desperately for Wednesday) I did have a good vacation, thanks. :)
To Goddess Shimi: Yup! Hercule-less Budoukai. Glad Goten's feeling better! Hee—— Goku and Veggie finally get to fight each other at a Budoukai. Happy you liked the doodle w/Hiei and Vash. I've seen both their shows but that was my first time drawing them. Oddly Veggie wouldn't have noticed had Bulma not pointed it out to him--he being in such a deep "must-train" moment. Glad you like Veggie's new shirt. Koshi sounds cute :) What's it mean? And now, to Veggie--
Vegeta: Answer 1: I would probably have insomnia for several days after that. Answer 2: I would figure out it was a fake
once I went to shower. Answer 3: I would tie Kakarrotto up, knock him unconsious, and run away--quickly.
Chuquita: Somehow I think all of those situations would leave you a little more "panicked" than you just showed, Veggie.
Vegeta: (snorts) I must contain composure. (whispers to Chu) Kakarrotto can smell fear, you know.
Chuquita: Like a dog?
Goku: I luv Veggies!
To Goddess Shimi: Cool! I'll check out the story after I upload this chapter! :)
To wrayshine2: Thanks! I'm not sure what else you could add to the fish smoothie...possibly a bunch of little sardines as sprinkles.
To RyukoVulpix: (pouts) Yes, its true. Not only was it deleted but I ended up being punished for it by being banned for a whole week! Goku and Veggie didn't do anything wrong in "Kakarroujo"! I'll eventually have the story put back up here. You lost THREE?! Oh I feel so sorry for you! :( Happy you like Goten's tail! One of the reviewers suggested it as a name and it sounded cute so I decided to use it :) Turles...lettuce rearranged? Cool! Sneaky pun on whoever named him. I also enjoyed the db budoukais. Thanks!
Chuquita: And there u go!
Goku: Do you think part 2 will get up for Wednesday or Saturday?
Chuquita: Its done now. Oh I hope the document manager will be nice to me tomorrow and let me update!
Vegeta: Let's all hope for it. We've never updated on Saturday, it would confuse everybody.
Chuquita: I know. Anyways, see you sometime next week for part 3 everybody! Bye!
Goku: Byebye see u later!
