Vegeta meets the reviewers

16 June

A one shot dedicated to my loyal fans of Goku's priorities…this author delivers!

(This is for you, Veggie's boo!)

Vegeta stepped out of Capsule Corp, off for a leisurely stroll down to the Belgian chocolate shop. He was in the dog box again with Kakarot, and needed to earn his way back into his love's good books.

"Bloody baka…I said I was sorry for breaking the gravitron, but noooo, he' all pissy just because we can't train. Trunks said he'll fix it, but I'd better sort this out, otherwise I'll be in the guest room for a month."

Vegeta was lost in his thoughts, as he walked down the sidewalk, when he bumped into someone.

"Hey, watch where you're going, punk!" he scowled, looking at the person who dared to get in his way. Then he frowned slightly.

"I've seen you before, some where."

The girl got up, having been knocked over by Vegeta, readjusting her kitana and brushing the dirt off her clothes. "Hey, you're the great Vegeta! I'm Veggie's boo."

"Now I remember! You're the leader of that gang that got rid of Kakarot's ex! I was wondering if I'd ever get the chance to meet you guys!"

"I'm off to meet the others for ice cream. You gonna join us?"

Vegeta thought for a second. Kakarot's chocolates could wait.

"Yeah, why not. Lead the way."

The bell tinkled, as they stepped into Zogeta's ice cream store.

"Hey, Zo! Where are the others?"

The owner turned around from the soft serve machine, and waved.

"They're at the normal table, just like always. I hear you guys are planning the demise of another annoying person?"

Veggie's Boo walked up to the counter, while Vegeta looked around. It was a weird little ice cream place. It looked more like a milk shake bar crossed with a DVD store. There were huge screens all over the place, and customers each had an individual screen, and could watch DVDs of their choice.

"Yeah, we're planning to kill King Kai soon. Shouldn't be too hard. I'll have the usual."

Zo winked.

"Yep, quadruple chocolate fudge with crushed Oreos topping. I take it Vegeta will have the same?"

Vegeta was pulled out of his thought when she addressed him directly.

"Uh, yeah, I guess."

"Great. Have a seat, I'll bring it over soon."

The female ninja nodded, and showed Vegeta to a table at the back of the shop.

"Vegeta, I'd like you to meet the other members of the FanFiction Rebellion Group. It's our purpose to search through fan fiction and support authors, and assist where we can. The owner, Zogeta, she's slightly insane, but she keeps us well supplied with snacks, isn't that right, Zo?"

Zo suddenly appeared, and put a huge tray with ice creams in red glass bowls.

"Hey, it makes the place look busy. I'll leave you to your noble work, everybody."

Zo gave them their ice creams, and then went into the kitchen to make fresh pistachio sorbet.

Vegeta was feeling a little confused.

"This is surreal."

A girl opposite Vegeta smiled.

"Yeah, that tends to happen when authors can't help themselves and write arbitrary things. Hi, I'm Clarobell."

"How rude of me! I haven't introduced you to everyone!" said Veggie's Boo, putting her spoon down.

"Okay, that's Purple Moonlight, she's in charge of angsty stuff." She went around the table, introducing everyone.

"Hi!"

"And that's Paler Shade of Blue, she's the psychology expert, and the wise one."

"Hello."

"Over there is Ozuma's girl, she's the humour expert."

"Hi there."

"And Layann, she's the languages authority."

"Greetings."

"And Midnight flame princess, she's the morale support. She's kept a lot of authors going. And next to her is Chibi Dbz Princess, torture advisor."

Vegeta nodded at each of them, and looked at the ice cream before him. "This looks good."

"It's the best! That's why we hang out here," said Purple Moonlight, eating the cherry on top of her lemon sorbet.

"Yeah, I've grown kinda fond of it." said Clarobell, digging into her strawberry and vanilla sundae.

"I guess so. So, how did you guys know about that Claudia wench?" asked Vegeta.

"We came across her in a story, you see, and we didn't like her. After we got hold of her address, and after seeing how much she hurt you, we decided to annihilate her. We had fun too. Although, we didn't quite manage to clean up afterwards." said Ozuma's girl.

"I must give you all credit. I would have liked to have done it myself, but hey, I'm glad the bitch is dead."

"So, what are you doing, wondering around, Vegeta?" asked A Paler Shade of Blue.

"I have to get an apology gift for Kakarot. He's cross with me because I broke the gravitron, and he's giving me the cold shoulder."

They all chuckled, including Vegeta.

"But seriously, he can't hold a grudge. By dinnertime, he'll be calling me Geta again. I know he's cross when he calls me Vegeta, with extra emphasis on the fist bit. I'm still getting him chocolate though, he's got a massive sweet tooth."

The group in the back of Ice (the name of the shop) spent the afternoon there, and Vegeta was introduced to the world of Fan Fiction.

"You mean that people write stories about me and Kakarot all the time?" Vegeta was flabbergasted, but not too upset.

"Yeah. One of our favourite categories is yaoi, which contains male/male relationships. Although, you seem to be the most popular person to write about there. It's mostly you and Goku, but there is some brilliant stuff with you and Gohan." A Paler Shade of Blue explained.

"But he's mated to Piccolo!"

"Or sometimes Piccolo is mated to you. Not many of those stories though." added Ozuma's Girl.

"Weird. I've gotta check out some of this stuff for myself."

"Hey, when you do, check out the favorites lists of different authors. It's the best way to find the good stuff."

"Will do. Oh, shit! Look at the time! It's been four hours already! Kakarot is going to freak! I've gotta go everybody, but it was great meeting you."

The others all nodded and smiled, as Vegeta stood up, swinging his leather jacket back on.

"Glad we could meet you. You're the greatest!" said Veggie's Boo, walking Vegeta to the door.

"Maybe I'll bring Kakarot around here one day. He'll love it here. I can't get him away from ice cream."

"You do that. I'm sure Zogeta would love some celebrities in here."

Vegeta waved to all of them, and stepped out the door, shaking Veggie's Boo's hand.

"Bye everybody!"

They all stood at the door, and waved as Vegeta blasted off. "Nice guy," said Layann, slurping a caramel ice cream on a cone.

"It depends how the authors write him, I suppose," said A Paler Shade of Blue.

"Hey, do any of you want seconds?" asked Zo from behind the counter.

"You wouldn't happen to have that delicious toblerone ice cream, would you?" asked Chibi Dbz Princess, with big eyes.

"I have a fresh batch just waiting for you guys. And I just took stock of a new flavour I'd like you to try. It's double thick chocolate, with Oreo bits and marshmallows! I'll bring some over to the table."

There was a cheer, as they took up their places at the table, their plasma screen running the last saga of Dbz.

"Oh, man, look at Vegeta there. Man, he got smacked around by Buu," said Ozuma's girl, picking up her spoon in expectation.

"All for his love Kakarot. That's so sweet."

"Vegeta! Where have you been!?"

"Calm down, Kakarot. I was just making some new friends, that's all. You're always telling me to get out more."

Goku pouted.

"You could have called."

Vegeta wrapped his tail around Goku as he hugged him.

"But I didn't, and I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you. How about ice cream for dinner?"

"Hey, Zogeta! Make space for us! Kakarot's here!" Vegeta called, walking into Ice.

Zo's face appeared from around the kitchen door. Goku was looking around quite curiously.

"Hey, welcome back! The others are at the back. The usual, Vegeta?"

"Yeah, and one for Kakarot too. Come, Kakarot, there's a few people I'd like you to meet…"

The End

And that's how Vegeta met the reviewers. This story was written for the people mentioned in it, but if any one else enjoyed it, great! Most of these reviewers have left, and the loss is felt greatly. I hope they come back some day.

I promised this one shot, and so it is delivered. Hope you guys enjoyed it. By the way, that's the first and last time I'll ever put myself into a story. This is my gift to my most loyal reviewers that made Goku's Priorities the success it was.

Ciao,

Zogeta, the ice cream queen.
