Author's Note: In response to one of the reviewers requests, here is a longer chapter. Lemme know if it's long enough for y'all, mmmmkay.

Bulma ran upstairs after her boyfriend and crouched down next to her and Vegeta's king-sized bed. "It's okay, Vegeta, you can come out now. The spider's gone."

"NEVER, WOMAN!!!!!" Vegeta commanded, shivering wildly beneath the bed.

"Vegeta, you look like you just saw a ghost!" Bulma exclaimed upon seeing his face.

Vegeta started to whimper. "How could such a...such a hideous, horrible, DISGUSTING...creature exist?! The world has finally gone to hell, woman!!"

Goku ascended the stairs after them, curious to find out where Vegeta had run off to.

He followed Bulma into their room and spotted Vegeta hiding under the bed. "VEGETA, GET OUT FROM UNDER THERE, THAT'S WHERE SPIDERS LIVE!!!!!!"

"YAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vegeta furiously scrambled out from under the bed and then started hopping around trying to brush off all the imaginary spiders he believed were crawling on him. "GET THEM OFF!!! HELP KAKAROTT HELP!!!!!!"

Goku grabbed Vegeta by the upper arms, forcing him to be still and face Goku. He examined him and saw that there were no spiders.

"It's okay, Vegeta. It was a false alarm...uhh, what happened to your face?" Asked Goku, wondering why Vegeta was much paler than usual.

"Goku!" Bulma admonished, "Don't you ever do that again! You'll give Vegeta a nervous breakdown!!"

Goku pondered this thought for a moment. "OH MY GOD THERE'S A SPIDER BEHIND YOU VEGETA!!!!" Goku lied to see if Bulma's theory was correct. He would live to regret it.

"DAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Vegeta freaked out again and rushed for the door. Unfortunately for Goku, he was standing in the doorway, and the skulls of the two Saiyans were caught in a violent collision. Upon impact, both Goku and Vegeta fell backwards and landed flat on the carpet with a 'THUD!'

"Vegeta!!" Bulma crouched down beside her fallen love to see if he was okay. "Speak to me!!"

Goku slowly started to wake up, rubbing his bruised forehead. "Ow..." He sat up and gazed over at Bulma and Vegeta. Bulma was glaring daggers at him, and her Saiyan mate was lying on the floor...unconscious. "That was stupid." Goku told himself.

"You're darn right it was stupid, Goku! I oughta go tell Chi Chi!" Bulma scolded.

This did not sit well with Goku. "NO BULMA NO!!! DON'T TELL CHI CHI!!!!!" He shrieked with a tinge of blue on his cheeks.

"And why shouldn't I?" Bulma said, standing up and putting her hands on her hips. She was looking very cross indeed.

Goku started to whimper like a naughty little child who knew he was in trouble. "Please, Bulma...she'll...she'll...SHE'LL GIVE ME A TIME-OUT!! PLEASE BULMA, DON'T TELL!!!!" He cried in desperation.

"Oh, yeah? Well you deserve a time-out, and you're getting one right now! Go stand in the corner this instant and don't come out until I say so!" She ordered, pointing to the said location in her and Vegeta's bedroom.

Goku started to whimper again as he slowly got up from the floor, hanging his head.

"First you have to help me get Vegeta into the bed." Bulma commanded.

They picked up the fallen Prince and placed him on the mattress. Once that task had been completed, Bulma pointed furiously to the corner with an angry expression on her face. Goku walked over to the corner in shame and stood there as Bulma had ordered.

"Now don't you move from THAT SPOT until I say so, and Chi Chi WILL hear about this!! Mark my words, Goku!!" She left the room and came back with an icepack, which she carefully placed on Vegeta's forehead.

20 minutes later...

"Bulma? May I come out now?" Goku asked sheepishly, turning his head slightly to see her.

"Turn back around NOW!" She ordered. Goku immediately obeyed.

A few seconds later...

"Bulma? Did you by chance get a good look at the spider that bit Vegeta?"

"NO TALKING!!!!"

Goku promptly shut up.

Pause. "Why do you ask?" Inquired a curious Bulma, more calmly than before.

"Well," Replied Goku in a submissive voice, "Did it look familiar at all? I dunno, I just kinda felt like...like I've seen it somewhere before...um, I think."

"I don't study spiders, Goku, and I don't know what species live around here. They all look alike to me." She said, removing the icepack from Vegeta's forehead to take a look at the black-and-blue lump.

"NO NO! That's not what I mean... Do you remember the movie we saw last year?" He asked her.

"Goku, I saw quite a few movies last year. Why?"

"No, I mean the one that you saw with me...at the cinema...down the road? Remember?" He peeked over his shoulder at her while she was distracted, then quickly turned his head back when she looked up again.

"Oh, yeah," Bulma recalled, "That superhero movie. Which one was that again? I've seen quite a few."

"Spider-man." Goku answered bluntly.

"Right. What about it?" Bulma placed the icepack back on Vegeta's forehead.

"Do you remember how Peter Parker got his powers?"

"Yeah, he was bitten by a mutant spider or something. What does this have to do with Vegeta?" Bulma inquired, thinking this conversation was starting to get stupid.

"Well, I don't know if you noticed during all that chaos that went on downstairs, but that spider had the same coloring as the one in the movie. Isn't that weird?"

Bulma rolled her eyes and stood up to face Goku. "You can turn around now. What IS the point you're trying to make, Goku?"

"Well, um...I just thought that...uhh...that...um..." Suddenly Goku spun around quickly and started hopping up and down in excitement, "I JUST THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE SOOOOOOO COOL IF VEGETA BECAME SPIDER-SAIYAN!!!!!!!! WOULDN'T THAT BE AWESOME, BULMA?!!!! HUH?!!!! WOULDN'T IT?!!!!!!!!"

Bulma just stared at Goku with a blank expression on her face, almost as if she was looking through him at the bedroom wall opposite her. "Bulma? Are...are you okay? You look kinda spacey..."

He waved a hand in front of her face, snapping her out of her stupor. "Goku! That's ridiculous! That was a movie!! A work of fiction!! Say it with me, now, FIC-TION! F-I-C-T-I-O-N!!!"

"Fic-tion...F-I-C-T-I-O-N." Goku slowly repeated after her, mesmerized.

She slowly reached for his arm and led him out the door. "Good Goku, now go home to Chi Chi. Vegeta needs to rest now."

"Fic-tion...F-I-C-T-I-O-N." He continued to repeat, slowly descending the stairs.

Bulma watched him from the top step, shaking her head. 'That Goku. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, but at least he saves the world all the time.' She told herself before returning to Vegeta's side.
