Author's Note: This is a message to fire vixon: I totally agree that it's funny that Vegeta's scared of spiders, just like Goku is scared of needles. It's especially funny b/c I'm not afraid of either one of those things and both Goku or Vegeta could totally kick my A$$ in battle. Another message to Mrs. Trunks Briefs: Come to think of it, you're right. The fact that Bulma's a genius means she can't experience the 'blissful ignorance' enjoyed by Goku (and to a lesser degree by Vegeta). Idiocy has proven to be a very good 'anesthetic.' And one last message to Jack: Thank you for agreeing with me that Goku's a retard. Okay, on with the show...
"Okay... You guys ready?" Bulma fired up the Amnesiotron, one of her father's first inventions.
Goku, strapped into the memory-restoring machine, and Vegeta nodded in unison.
Just then an error message appeared on the screen of the computer Bulma was sitting at.
"Huh?" Bulma slowly stood up and strolled over to the backside of the Amnesiotron, where she snapped open a metal panel. Something vital appeared to be missing. 'Hmm...I do believe this has been tampered with...' She thought to herself.
"Guys, it appears that we're missing a microchip that the system cannot function without." She informed them upon her return to the computer in front of the sabotaged machine.
"Well hurry up and find it, woman! We wouldn't want to do anything to displease his Royal, Royal, Royal Highness Almighty Prince Vegeta of the Great Saiyan Empire." Exclaimed an amnesiac Goku in a worried tone. Bulma cocked an eyebrow at him, confused.
"Good boy!" Vegeta tossed a Scooby snack into the grateful Saiyan's mouth and then patted him on the head. The Saiyan Prince had a very wide and very malicious smile across his face.
Bulma shot him a suspicious glance. He avoided her eye contact. As she continued to stare, Vegeta began whistling nervously and twiddling his thumbs. A large sweat drop was forming on his forehead, as was a blue hue on his cheeks.
Her eyebrows lowered in warning. "Hand it over, Vegeta!"
Vegeta jumped in feigned surprise, attempting to appear innocent. "Hand WHAT over, woman?! I haven't the slightest clue as to what you're talking about...really...I...I don't..." He trailed off, becoming more and more intimidated by her accusing glare.
"Please, Vegeta! Guilt is written all over your face."
"G-Guilt? What means this 'guilt' of which you speak?"
Bulma sighed and rubbed her forehead. 'Why me...?' She wondered. "Do you want to learn about your new 'powers' or not?"
"Forget the stupid powers, woman! Baka-rott knows his place all too well in this state."
Bulma just rolled her eyes and extended her open hand towards him in anticipation. Vegeta's gaze fell on her hand, then on his own shirt pocket, and then on her hand again. He audibly swallowed the lump that was forming in his throat.
"I'm waiting." She impatiently announced.
The Saiyan Prince sighed in defeat and reached into his pocket. With his head lowered in shame, he reluctantly handed her the missing microchip. She forcefully snatched it from him, "BAD VEGETA! I bet you're not even sorry, jerk!"
"Sure I am...sorry I got caught, that is..." He inaudibly muttered under his breath.
With a replaced chip, Bulma re-fired up the Amnesiotron. The machine came to life and a bright blue light engulfed Dr. Briefs' entire laboratory.
1...2...3... The blue light died down.
"Hey, Bulma! Hey, Vegeta! Whatcha guys up to?"
"FINALLY!!!" Vegeta snatched Goku by the throat and tore him away from the Amnesiotron's restraints, "Now I command you to show me how to do it again!" He cried, violently shaking the confused warrior.
It took a moment, but realization soon dawned on Goku. "You...you mean...YOU MEAN IT WORKED!!" He started to excitedly jump up and down, despite the fact that Vegeta was still strangling him. "WHOO HOO!!"
Suddenly he paused. "Vegeta, I have a movie to show you! So you can learn about how your new powers work! C'mon, let's go to my house! Ooh, and we can even have a sleepover! YAY, SAIYAN SLUMBER PARTY!!!"
A frenzied Goku enthusiastically snagged the Saiyan Prince by the sleeve and zoomed out the laboratory door in the direction of Mount Paozu with the discombobulated warrior in tow.
"Wait!" Cried Bulma, "...what's going on?" Unfortunately it was too late, the two had already left. Bulma was left clueless.
Minutes later, the Saiyan duo touched down in front of the taller one's house and screeched to a stop when Goku came face to angry face with his infuriated wife. The slits of her eyes were dangerously narrow and her teeth were bared, "GOKU!!!!"
Upon the mention of his name, he speedily scurried behind the shorter Saiyan and hid his face in Vegeta's wild black mane, whimpering in fear. "Protect me!" He pleaded.
Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Your cowardice is painful to bear, Baka-rott."
The annoyed Prince impatiently seized the cantankerous onna by the shirt collar and tossed her aside like the piece of trash she truly, truly was. "Out of my way, you badly dressed wench. Your wardrobe is an insult to my regal vision. And unfortunately I do not have time to enjoy watching you terrorize your idiot mate at the moment, as much as I'd love to. KAKAROTT!"
A trembling Goku peeked over the shoulder of his ex-arch-nemesis. "Is...is it s-safe?"
"Hurry up, Kakarott, and show me this idiotic 'movie' you spoke of!" He grabbed Goku by the collar of his orange gi shirt and dragged him through the entryway of his own home.
Five minutes later Goku plopped down on the couch next to Vegeta with a large bowl of extra-butter popcorn in hand. "Want some, Veggie?"
"NO!!"
"Suit yourself." Goku picked up the remote and pressed 'play.'
Approx. 121 minutes later...
'And they say that
A hero could save us,
I'm not gonna stand here
And waaaaiiiiii...'
Goku glanced over at the jaw-dropped, wide-eyed Saiyan perched beside him on the sofa in front of the rolling credits. He was expecting some type of reaction, but it was denied to him, so he finally spoke up, "So Veggie, whatcha think?"
Goku's comment snapped Vegeta out of his trance. He slowly rose to his feet, "These. Are. The. Most. Retarded. Powers. EVEEERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!" He stomped his foot to emphasize the word 'ever.' "I could totally kick that guy's spider-ass IN MY SLEEP, Kami-damn it!!!! I wanna be a Super Saiyan, not a dumbass Spider-Saiyan!" He started to shout obscenities in Saiyago.
Goku gasped. He grabbed Vegeta by the front of the shirt and forced him down to his eye-level, "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS VEGETA THOSE ARE THE BEST POWERS EVER I WOULD TRADE IN MY SUPERSAIYANHOOD TO BE A SPIDER-SAIYAN ANY DAY!!!"
Vegeta was shocked into silence. His eyes narrowed, "Well I guess we're both screwed to hell, then. What's so great about these dumbass spider powers anyway?"
"Well..." Goku released his hold on Vegeta and stood up from the couch, "first of all, you can sneak up on people without using your ki, nobody can sneak up on you because you've got spider sense (AND YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO BE PAYING ATTENTION!!), you can cocoon people in an instant, you might be able to talk to spiders and ask them why they're so icky...OH!! AND YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS WITH JUST A SIMPLE FLICK OF THE WRIST AND—mmmmm!!!!"
Vegeta shot a glob of webbing, sealing Goku's mouth shut. "And I can make you shut up in an instant...an amazing feat, I admit...hmm, these powers may not be all that great for fighting, but do you know what they just might be good for? Do you, Kakarott?"
Goku shook his head, "Mmmm-mmm."
A malicious grin tugged at the sides of Vegeta's mouth. He grabbed Goku by the shoulder and forced him to lean over so Vegeta could whisper in his ear, "Do you happen to be familiar with the term 'prank'?"
Goku's eyebrows lowered. He stood up and shook a finger at Vegeta in reprimand as he attempted to speak, "Mmmiff mem momer mom mem memomomimiti."
"Huh?"
"Mmmiff mem momer mom mem memomomimiti."
"Huh?"
Goku tore the webbing off his mouth, "OW! I said...remember Vegeta, with great power comes great responsibility."
Vegeta paused for a moment, then burst out laughing, "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS, KAKAROTT????!!!!!!!!! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! I think we're going to need to modify that phrase juuuuussstt a slight bit." He grabbed Goku by the hair and brought the taller man's ear down to his mouth and whispered, "With great power, comes great evillity. Remember that, Kakarott, remember that..."
