Quote of the Week: -from dUbz #273 "An Evil Maze! What's Inside of Buu!?"
Goku: Isn't it worth you and I being stuck together if we can beat Buu?
Veggie: Hmmph. No, I prefer to be the captain of my own ship.

Chuey's Corner:
Goku: Heehee, Captain Veggie's ship's gonna get a new addition!
Vegeta: (pales) I have a feeling things have not fallen in my favor this time.
Chuquita: (grinning) What do you mean by that?
Vegeta: Well, the title is a mixture of my name and the word gestation, which is a synonym for conception; and then there's the Q.O.T.W, and then there's Kakarrotto several lines up. (uneasily) So am I correct in thinking I lost the battle of this fic's plotline.
Chuquita: ...
Vegeta: Chu?
Chuquita: WELCOME to the 97th fic everybody!
Goku: HOORAY! (holds up fingers) Three more to go and then we'll be at #100!
Chuquita: (grins) It's so exciting!
Goku: (happily) Yes it is!
Vegeta: ... (twitches) I'll take that sudden change of subject as a yes.
Chuquita: Well, you see Veggie, this fic idea's been sitting in my head for the past half of the year, and when I originally got it it WAS going to be Goku but then stuff happened and character development and it wouldn't work as well with him since
we're past the 'oujo' thing and you are pretty funny and....
Vegeta: (flatly) You're going to make me be the one with the "fakebelly", aren't you.
Chuquita: ...maybe? (cheesy smile)
Vegeta: GAH!? (falls over) (gets up, distraught) I can't believe this! Two years ago this NEVER would have happened!Throughout this entire year I've been slowly losing my platonic seme-ness. (starting to panic)
Goku: (worriedly pats Veggie's shoulders) Veggie that's not true--
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) He's just over-exaggerating in hopes I'll feel sorry for him and switch it back over to you, Son-kun.
Vegeta: (pauses in the middle of an over-dramatic pose of terror) ...it's not working then?
Chuquita: Not really.
Vegeta: Aw... (plops back down in his chair) A-cursed predicament. I think I'd almost be better off in the future.
Goku: (looks around) Oh yeah, we did time-travel back to the present again, didn't we?
Chuquita: Yup! (to audiance) Sorry about the whole "present" "future" "present" "future" "present" thing, guys. (nervous laugh)
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Speaking of indecisive.
Chuquita: Heh-heh... (to Veggie) Hey at least your "addition" is a fake one.
Vegeta: The world would probably explode if it were real.
Chuquita: Hai...there's a couple things in that category actually.
Vegeta: And you're SURE you can't let Kakarrotto be the one to receive said fake addition?
Chuquita: (sighs) It wouldn't work the same as with you Veggie. If I had written this fic BEFORE "Kakarroujo"--
Vegeta: (smirks) --which in my humble opinion you should've--
Chuquita: --then it probably would've been Son-kun.
Vegeta: (glances over his shoulder in nervous annoyment) I blame two text documents in the folder to our right...
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Shush. I told you its fake.
Vegeta: Does the me in the fic know that?
Chuquita: (grins) Not right away...
Vegeta: (pales)
Goku: Heeheehee.
Vegeta: o.O Why are you giggling?
Goku: (sits back up) (blank expression) ...
Vegeta: (to Chu) And you're SURE his mind is back to normal.
Chuquita: Yeah...the sudden Kaka-I.Q jump...I'm still not COMPLETELY sure what that was attributed to. But I'm pretty sure he's back to normal.
Vegeta: "Pretty sure", huh.
Chuquita: Yup!
Vegeta: (looks over at Goku)
Goku: :)
Vegeta: (cheeks flush red) Well....alright...
Chuquita: And now onto the fic!

Vegeta: Cheer and jump with joy?
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) ...
Goku: Heehee..Veggiestummy.
" Hmmhmmhmm... " Goku hummed cheerfully to himself as he sat at the kitchen table scribbling on a piece of paper.
Goten hopped up onto the chair next to him, " Hey Toussan? Whatcha doin? "
" Hee— its a story! " Goku held up the papers, all of which had childish, plushie-like doodles on them, " About my
Veggie! "
" Oh joy. " Chi-Chi flatly remarked as she opened the fridge.
Goku ignored the sarcasm and held up the first page for Goten, which featured a chibi Veggie standing ontop of a
small Bejito-sei, " Once upon a time there was a little ouji named Veggie. Veggie was good and had lots of people who luved
him! "
" Ah, fiction. " she commented. Goten sweatdropped.
" But then one scary day, Veggie was kidnapped by Freeza and his family and home were destroyed. " the second page
showed a crying chibi Veggie in what looked like deep-space.
" Awww. " the chibi looked sad.
" Freeza made Veggie do lots of bad things he didn't want to do, and that made Veggie even sadder. " the following
page was of chibi Veggie cleaning windows, teenage Veggie moping the floor, and adult Veggie folding clothes.
" The Ouji blew up planets and decimated entire galaxies all over the universe! " Chi-Chi exclaimed.
" Not in Toussan's story. " Goten chirped.
Goku grinned at her, " Hee— my little Veggie would never do such terrible things, Chi-chan. "
" In YOUR little version of the world maybe. " she sighed.
" But then one day Veggie escaped to earth and was saved from Freeza by me! " Goku held up a picture of himself
glomping a saiyajin-armor-wearing Vegeta, " And then we beat Freeza TOGETHER! And after that we beat the Big Meanie
TOGETHER! " the next drawing was of Freeza and Brolli who both had x's for eyes, " Veggie was so happy to be free of Freeza
and the Big Meanie that he and our fusion-babies moved in with me and we all lived happily ever after! The End! " Goku's
final doodle was of him, Vegeta wearing a little blue gi, Vejitto, and Gogeta standing infront of the Son home with smiles
on their faces.
" Haha. " Goten applauded him.
" Goku-san, I love you, but that story was near-completely untrue. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" ? " Goku tilted his head at her.
" ▫Ding-Dong▫! "
" Niichan's here! " Goten excitedly hopped out of his seat and ran to the front door. He opened it to reveal Gohan
and Videl standing in the doorway, " Hi niichan! "
" Hey Goten. " Gohan smiled, " How've you been? " the couple came inside.
" Great! "
" Wow this is heavier than advertised. " Videl sweatdropped.
Chi-Chi smiled at them, " Hi gu---▫GASP▫! " she froze in shock.
Gohan and Videl stood there like deer in headlights.
" You didn't tell her, did you? " Videl laughed uneasily.
" Oh my goodness I'M a GRANDMOM! " Chi-Chi gushed excitedly.
" ... " ▫
" I mean--YOU'RE pre--- "
" --stomach looks like it is ready to explode! " Goku gasped in shock. Chi-Chi sweatdropped and Videl's cheeks
flushed, " What did you EAT? "
" She didn't "eat" anything, she's pregnant! " Chi-Chi pointed out, trying to keep her eager grin down to a minimum.
" No I'm not. "
" ...eh? " Chi-Chi blinked, a fuse blowing in her brain, " What did you say? I couldn't hear over the sounds of my
hopes for the future being shattered into a million tiny pieces. "
Gohan walked behind Videl and lifted the bottom back of her shirt, then pressed something and instantly the addition
turned from Videl's skin-tone to a transparent object which tumbled out onto the floor.
" ... " Chi-Chi stared at the object, a small depression cloud hovering over her head, " Oh. "
" Oooh, what is it? " Goku picked the object up and poked it. It felt soft and had the density of an actual stomach.
The device also had a strong warmth radiating from it.
" It's called the ImitationTummy3000. " Videl explained, " It's a device that helps you prepare for what it'll be
like once you are pregnant and can even enlarge itself over an actual 9-month period. "
" We bought it at the baby store across the street from Capsule Corp. " Gohan added.
Goku took his orange gi top and blue t-shirt off, then carried the ImitationTummy3000 back into the kitchen with him,
a content little smile on his face.
" Where's he going? " Videl blinked.
" I have a pretty good idea.. " Gohan sweatdropped.
" So...if you bought something like that...you must be getting ready TO have the first of my many MANY grandchildren,
correct? " Chi-Chi asked.
" Well... " Gohan blushed, embarassed.
" Yeah... " Videl blushed as well.
" GREAT! " Chi-Chi whipped out an incomprehendably long piece of paper, " I happen to have a small list of names from
which you could possibly consider-- " she started out.
" TA-DA! " Goku exclaimed cheerfully from the doorway.
Chi-Chi whipped her head around to see him.
" Look Chi-chan! I'm havin' a baby! "
" ... " Chi-Chi's eyes rolled into the back of her head and she promptly fainted, hitting the ground with a thud.
" That wasn't exactly the re-ply I was going for. " Goku scratched his head, confused.
" Toussan I really wouldn't advice you wearing that. " Gohan motioned to the ImitationTummy3000 which was currently
around the large saiyajin's middle making him look as big as Videl had several minutes ago.
" ▫Knock▫knock▫ " the front door knocked again.
Goku glomped warmly onto his 'stomach' only to have Gohan quickly shut the device down and yank it off him, " Hey! "
he pouted, saddened, " I liked that. "
" Well if you like it Kaasan wouldn't. " Gohan sighed.
" That sentence actually a-pplies to a lot of things. " Goku nodded thoughtfully.
Gohan opened the door, " Hello? "
" Hi there. " Vegeta smirked.
" ▫GASP▫, VEGGIE! " the large saiyajin gushed and glomped onto him from the front, " Mmmm—— "
" Uh.. " the ouji felt his cheeks start to flush red, " Kakarrotto why are you half-naked? "
" Better the top than the bottom, little Veggie. " Goku chirped.
" This is true. " the ouji said thoughtfully, then squeezed out of Goku's grasp, " Hello everyone. "
" Hi. "
" Hi Vegeta. " the couple sweatdropped.
" Hi Veggie-san! " Goten waved to him.
" I just happened to be in the neighborhood when I heard Onna's lifeless body hit the floor, so I decided to come in
and check to see if she's still in the land of the living or if Kakarrotto needed someone to console him in a state of
kaka-depression. " Vegeta said casually.
" Silly Veggie, Chi-chan's still alive. " Goku motioned to her, " I just made her faint! "
" Really? " Vegeta said, intregued as he walked over to Chi-Chi and poked her in the arm, " Exactly what did you do,
Kakarrotto? Break a rule in her presence? Talk back to her? Stand up for yourself? "
" Haha, no, I--mmph?! " Gohan slapped his hand over Goku's mouth and made a shhing motion.
" Hmm...now I'm REALLY intregued. " the smaller saiyajin rubbed his hands together.
" Vegeta would you excuse Toussan and I for a moment? " Gohan asked, laughing nervously.
" Of course. " he grinned wickedly.
Gohan pulled Goku out into the hallway, " Toussan! You can't tell Vegeta about the Tummy3000! " he whispered loudly.
" Why not? " Goku asked, confused.
" Because! He's Vegeta! He'll find a way to twist things around so he can use that device for his own mischievous and
often-well-thought-out deeds! " the demi-saiyajin explained.
" But I don't like to keep things from my Veggie. " Goku frowned, " If there's something important that I think
Veggie should know I tell him. Un--unless of course its against the rules to tell him...and I don't think think this
particular situation is. "
Gohan sighed, " Please just keep quiet about it. If Vegeta finds out such a product exists he'll-- " Gohan paused.
" Yes? " Goku said, baffled as to why Gohan had stopped speaking. They both looked up to see Vegeta standing on the
ceiling above them, " VEGGIE?! "
" Just passing through. " the ouji continued his stroll down the ceiling and walked into the bathroom, closing the
door behind him.
" How did he do that? " Gohan sweatdropped.
" My little Veggie's so full of surprises! " Goku clasped his hands together, delighted.
The little ouji emerged from the bathroom a minute later, this time on the floor, " So Kakarrotto, as long as Onna's
indisposed at the moment, how would you like to go out for a short spar? "
" YEAH! " the larger saiyajin gushed, " I would luv to go spar with Veggie! "
" Well then, I guess we're off. " Vegeta led Goku out of the hallway, then glanced over his shoulder at Gohan, " You
don't have a problem with that, do you Gohan? "
" No....and what happened to "Kaka-spawn"? " Gohan cocked an eyebrow.
" You surpassed that several months ago after you freed yourself from Onna's evil twisted grasp. "
" You mean when I got married and moved out of the house? " Gohan sweatdropped.
" Exactly. " Vegeta smirked, then opened the backdoor, " Come Kakarrotto, we only have so much time before Onna
recovers consiousness. "
" K! " Goku chirped and followed him outside.
" You just let them go like that? " Videl said, surprised.
" What? I'm not paranoid about Vegeta like Kaasan is. " Gohan glanced back at her, " He's sneaky but he's far from
evil. "
" That's it Gohan! Assert your independence! " Vegeta applauded him from the backyard.
Gohan sweatdropped and Videl chuckled at him.
Outside Goku picked up Vegeta and teleported them off to their usual sparring site.
" Uhhhhh..ohhhh.. " Chi-Chi's eyes flickered open. Her nose cringed a particular smell that still lingered in the
room, " Ouji. " she glared up at the ceiling, then lept to her feet, " Where is he! " Chi-Chi demanded.
" Oh, Vegeta left already. You just missed him. " Videl pointed towards the backdoor.
" Did he. " she said dangerously, " And where's Goku-san? "
" ... " Gohan and Videl backed up towards the front door.
" Well, see you later Kaasan! " Gohan grinned cheesily at her, about to close the door on her.
" STOP! "
" ! " Gohan froze in place, the oppressiveness starting to hover over him again like a bad deja vu.
" Gohan. " Chi-Chi said warningly.
" Um, he left as well? "
" By himself or with the Ouji? "
" ...define "with". "
" UGH! " Chi-Chi slapped herself on the forehead, " Evil little Ouji, I swear if I wasn't around he'd start
manipulating EVERYONE within listening distance. " she groaned.
" He just took Mr. Son to go spar, Chi-Chi. " Videl said.
" How do you know! "
" Because..that's what he told us? "
" EXACTLY! "
" ? " ▫
" You can't just take the Ouji's word for it! He's a genius at spinning lies upon lies. A mastermind of nefarious
deeds! The Ouji is one of the main reasons I want you to have so many children! So one of them will take Goku-san in once
I've passed on so he doesn't get passed on to the Ouji! " Chi-Chi paced back and forth, upset.
" Kaasan calm down. " Gohan said, worried.
" The Ouji's been dragging Goku-san deeper and deeper into his little Ouji-world as of late. And the more he does
the more full of himself the Ouji gets. I can't have Goku-san coming back one day from a spar announcing he's broken rule
number ONE! " she kicked the Tummy3000 across the room and into the couch in frustration. Chi-Chi watched the device roll
back and forth for a moment before stopping, " ... "
" Um, Kaasan? " Gohan spoke up.
A wicked grin suddenly played across Chi-Chi's face.
Gohan's concern doubled, " Kaasan? "
" I am a genius. " Chi-Chi announced to herself as she picked the Tummy3000 up, " That Ouji is going to wish he never
even MET Goku-san when I'm through with him! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! " lightning crashed behind her. Chi-Chi grinned
fiercely, " Excellent. "
" We'll uh, just be going now. " Videl said as she reached for the doorknob again, " You can umm, hold onto that
until the next time we visit. "
" Wait. "
Videl and Gohan watched her carefully.
" Before you go, I want you to show me how this thing works... "

" Ahhhhh... " Goku sighed in content relief. He had just finished an intense, 2-hour-long spar with Vegeta and was
now sitting next to the little ouji at the edge of the river; his gi torn all apart, " Sparring with Veggie really calms me
down. " Goku smiled.
" Well I'm glad you had fun. " Vegeta smirked and fell onto his back.
" Aw Veggie, I always have fun with you no matter WHAT we're doing! "
The ouji's cheeks turned red, " Ah..thanks, Kakarrotto. "
Goku watched him with a warm expression on his face, " I think I could spend all day with you. "
" Heh. " Vegeta smirked boastfully, " You flatter me, my sweet peasant. "
" Hm. " Goku happily turned his attention back to the river. It was starting to get cooler out again and the
majority of wildlife had either flown to warmer climates, swam south on the river, or gone into hibernation, " It's so quiet
around here. "
" Or lonely. " Vegeta suggested.
Goku flopped onto his back, " I'm not lonely. " he paused, " Are you? "
" No. "
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
Goku reached over with his left hand to hold Vegeta's right only to have the ouji pull his arm away at the last
second and fold both over his chest, his face starting to turn bright red, " Haha! Veggiesosilly! " he reached again only
to freeze in place as a terrible premonition hovered over him. Instead of reaching the now-terrified Goku glomped Vegeta
instead, startling him, " VEGGIE! " he cried out, worried as he held on tightly until the knots in his stomach and the chill
on his skin lifted from his body. Goku felt his sense of calm returning and he slowly let loose his grip on Vegeta.
" Wahhhh? " Vegeta wobbled back and hit the grass, his entire body glowing bright red. He quickly whipped out a
bottle of peasant-repel and sprayed himself, " What was THAT for?! " he gawked, creeped out.
" Veggie won't ever leave me, will he? " the larger saiyajin said pleadingly, panic still vividly visable in his
eyes.
" What are you talking about? " Vegeta got to his feet.
" That bad feeling...the one that I've been getting lately but goes away... " Goku stared up at him.
" Heh, Kakarrotto. You don't need to worry about me. The Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ouji can easily defeat any
foe who dares cause him and his loved ones harm. "
" What about Buu? "
" Buu was different. " Vegeta said bluntly. He perked up, " So? Where do you want to go now? "
" It doesn't matter where, as long as I'm with Veggie! "
Vegeta's entire face flushed red, " I swear you've been acting mushier than usual today. " he said with slight
suspicion.
" Umm, I am sorry? " Goku replied, confused.
" You know, " the ouji said, changing the subject, " They're having a parade in West City, one of those festival
things with huge inflated balloons, marching bands, themed-floats and such. " he said casually.
" YAY! Let's go! " Goku grinned, bouncing to his feet.
" It wasn't an invitation, I was just trying to make conversation. " Vegeta sweatdropped, embarassed.
" Please Veggie! " the larger saiyajin said excitedly.
" But we'd be crowded between all those people... " the ouji folded his arms and looked away, " I don't like being
stuck in crowds...its too claustrophobic. "
" Then we'll just watch from Veggie's room, or even the roof! Nobody else can climb to the roof. " Goku pointed out.
" Hn... " Vegeta thought it over, then sighed, " Alright. "
" HOORAY! " Goku grabbed the smaller saiyajin's arm, startling him as he prepared to teleport, " I get to see the
parade with Veggie! "

" Hm.. " Bulma stood there, staring at the frozen turkey on the kitchen counter.
" Hey Bulma whatcha doin? " Vejitto and Gogeta poked their heads into the room.
" If Vegeta doesn't get back soon I'm going to have to cook the turkey. " she said, continuing to stare at it as if
it were one of her experiments.
" Oh-kay! " Gogeta chirped and the two of them started to leave.
" I'm not good at cooking turkeys. Infact the entire kitchen seems to have something against me and Son-kun. Whenever
either of us tries to cook or bake something in here it explodes. "
" Would you like us to help? " Vejitto asked.
" Yeah! We'll cook the turkey! " Gogeta grinned.
" You two can cook? "
" Of course! We both have all of Mommy's knowledge of how to cook/bake delicious treats. " Vejitto smirked and
pointed to his head.
" You'll help me then. "
" Mmm-hmm! " they both nodded in unison.
Bulma smiled, " GREAT! Now let's get to work! "

" Well, it looks like a normal turkey. " Bulma said as she stared at it in the oven.
" See, it looks like you're a good cook afterall. " Gogeta patted her on the shoulder.
She smiled and the turkey spontaniously combusted in the oven, sending turkey juices flying at the trio.
" ... " they stood there with blank expressions on their faces and half-baked stuffing running down their arms and
faces.
" Knew it was too good to be true. " Bulma sighed, then opened the fridge and perked up, " Luckily I have a spare! "
" ▫Creak▫ " the front door creaked open and Vegeta wobbled inside, looking dazed and flushed red.
" Vegeta! " she beamed, running over to him, " You're just in time--what happened to you? "
" Kakarrotto wanted to see the parade. He also decided he'd lean against me the whole time making mushy sounds of
contentment. " the small saiyajin whipped out his bottle of peasant-repel and sprayed himself with it.
" I didn't see you come in. "
" We were on the roof. " Vegeta sat down on the living room couch.
" The roof? "
" Kakarrotto's idea. " he shifted around, " He's starting to 'worry' about me again. "
" He can't help it. " she walked over and sat down next to him, " He likes having you around so naturally it would
bother him if something were to happen to you. "
" But nothing IS going to happen to me. Besides, even if something did I could easily handle it. " the ouji boasted.
" Uh-huh. " she smirked back at him, " So, do you think you could handle dinner? "
" Huh..that is just strange. " Vejitto remarked as he and Gogeta inspected the oven, " It does not look like anything
could've caused the turkey to randomly blow up like that...unless you put in too much salt. "
" Salt does have a way of doing that. " Gogeta nodded, intregued.
" Or paprika. "
" Where IS Son-kun? " Bulma asked.
Vegeta flopped down on his side, beat, " Onna's apparently discovered his cellphone number and called him back home
due to some "utmost emergancy" of some type. " he let out a yawn.
" You oh-kay, Mommy? " Vejitto peeked over the top of the couch.
" I felt like performing a little more extreme level of sparring today so Kakarrotto and I fought at ssj3, and, as
you know, that form happens to tire me out relatively quickly. " he closed his eyes.
" So who won? "
Vegeta smirked, " Heh... "
" Wow! Congradulations, Vegeta. " Bulma said, impressed, " No wonder you're so tired. How about we order pizza
instead then, that is if you don't feel up to cooking... "
The ouji opened one eye, " Pizza would be delightful. "
" Great. " she got up, " Hey Gogeta, could you toss me the-- " Bulma looked down and froze to see the phone already
in her hand, " --phone.
" :) " Gogeta grinned at her.
" Right. " Bulma shook her head, baffled, " Now how many are we ordering? "

" Heh-heh-heh...yes...this will be sure to knock that evil little Ouji's seme-ish ambitions down a level. " Chi-Chi
held out Goku's life-sized Veggie-Plushie who's she had attached the Tummy3000 to temporarily to provide an example. She had
placed the settings towards the extreme, causing the plushie to look as if it were in its 3rd trimester. The plushie's blue
tank-top barely fit.
" ▫Ding▫Dong▫ " Goku rang the doorbell, " Chi-chan! Hello? "
" Hi sweetie! Come in. " Chi-Chi said pleasantly as she opened the door, " How was your Ouji-time? "
" Oh it was GREAT Chi-chan! I sparred with Veggie in ssj3 and then we layed around by the river and talked and then
Veggie took me to see the parade in West City and we sat on the roof and pla-tonicallysnuggled and--GASP! PLUSHIE! " Goku
froze in shock at the plush toy leaning against the wall, " You're going to be a MOMMY! "
" ...▫squeak▫ " Plushie slid slightly.
" I'm so HAPPY for you! " Goku glomped the plush toy.
Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" Hey, wait a minute, Plushie can't have babies, he's doesn't have any baby-making organs! Infact he doesn't have
any organs at all! He's full of soft cotton stuffing! " Goku held Plushie up, baffled.
" And he's a male plush toy. " Chi-Chi added in flatly.
" That too. " Goku said while examining Plushie's stomach, " How could this ever have happened? "
" Heh, now that I can explain. " Chi-Chi touched the spot on Plushie's back and the Tummy3000 instantly turned back
to its transparent color and fell off of Plushie's middle onto the ground.
" OH! I get it! Chi-chan is getting back at me for sur-prising her earlier! That was funny, Chi-chan. " Goku laughed.
" No actually. " Chi-Chi said, causing him to stop, " You see Goku-san, I have a plan. "
" A plan? " he watched her uneasily.
" Uh.. " Chi-Chi noticed the expression, " I mean, well its more like a game-- "
Goku's face lit up, " I like games, Chi-chan! "
" And so do I. " she put her hands on his shoulders, " How would you like to play a game with me? "
" What kind of game? "
" A Ouji-related game. " Chi-Chi tried to keep the smirk from appearing on her face.
The large saiyajin beamed, " REALLY? A game for Chi-chan and me AND Veggie to play! I can't WAIT to tell Veggie! "
he whipped out his little blue cellphone only to have Chi-Chi snatch it away from him.
" NO! "
" ? " ▫
" Ah--we'll uh, we don't need to tell the Ouji right now because he'll...find out later! Yeah. " she laughed
nervously, ::Much later:: " You see Goku-san, we're going to play a little game called "'Veggie' has a baby--but not
really. "
Goku cocked an eyebrow at her, confused, " Eh? "
" You see we're going to slip into the Ouji's room tonight and you're going to use those powerful reflexes of yours
to strap this around the ouji's mid-section while he's sleep. After that we'll quietly teleport back home and eagerly await
the morn upon which that evil little creature will awaken to mistakenly find one of his deepest fears has come true! "
" Chi-chan that doesn't sound very nice. " Goku pouted, " Does little Veggie know we'll be doing this to him? "
" Umm, yes? " she smiled cheesily at him.
" Oh! " Goku perked back up, " Well in that case oh-kay! " he picked up the Tummy3000, " If Veggie knows about this
than I'll do it! " Goku turned back to Chi-Chi, " I wouldn't want to accidentally cause my Veggie pain or stress or even
irrational fear. "
" Of course you wouldn't. " Chi-Chi laughed nervously, " Now let's have dinner and then we'll strike! "
" "Strike"? " Goku looked worried again.
" Leave. We'll, LEAVE and head to the Ouji's house. " Chi-Chi 'corrected' herself.
" Oh. Alright Chi-chan. " Goku happily headed into the kitchen.
Chi-Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

" Yawwwwwn! " Vegeta yawned widely as he turned about on the living-room couch. He slowly opened his eyes.
" Hey there, "sleeping beauty", have a nice nap? "
" Hm? " Vegeta's eyes shot open and he yelped to see Goku nose-to-nose with him, " WAAAAHHH! " the ouji bolted to
his feet and tried to scramble away in panic while the deep red blush covered his cheeks.
" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! " a laugh rang out behind him.
Vegeta stared lamely out into the kitchen, his brain suddenly realizing just who that had been, " Hello to you too. "
he looked over his shoulder at Turles, embarassed.
" So Vegeta-san, I heard you went sparring with Kakarrotto today. " Turles smirked, " Did you have fun? "
Vegeta stood up on the couch as if it would make him more impervious to having Turles try to re-arrange his words on
him, " Why yes, Kakarrotto and I had quite a bit of PURELY PLATONIC fun with each other. "
" Platonic...hai. " he snickered, " You know, Vegeta-san, I happened to stumble upon quite the juicy tidbit of
information a couple months ago. " he held up a cd-rom with Goku's name on it. Vegeta stared at him curiously, " That
Brain-Freezer machine, VERY interesting. "
" HEY! You're not supposed to look at those! " Vegeta grabbed the cd out of his hands, " NOBODY is! "
" Hai, but listening to the Warning Label on the cd holder would be considered "good", right Vegeta-san? " the evil
type-3 saiyajin smiled.
" Hn.. " a vein bulged on Vegeta's forehead, " So...how many did you look at? "
" Oh, just that one. Thanks to being slapped with so many "rules", Kakarrotto's mind is full of hidden passageways
leading to secret, powerful non-platonic desires. " Turles said casually, " He'll be quite entertaining to have around once
Chi-Chi passes on and all those rules fly out the window. "
" What's on the cd? " Vegeta asked bluntly.
" I thought you just said we're not supposed to know. " he teased.
" Yes but since you know and I'm your ruler I have a right to share in that information that you neither of us were
supposed to know about in the first place. " Vegeta said astutely.
" You just want a peek into Kakarrotto's mind, huh? Find out what turns him on, perhaps? " Turles grinned wickedly.
" AHH! " Vegeta's face went bright red, " THAT LAST PART IS COMPLETELY UNTRUE! " he snapped, then plopped his
behind back onto the couch, " However I would greatly enjoy learning a little more about how Kakarrotto's brain operates. "
" He's very secretive about it. "
" I know. "
" But that's not Kakarrotto's fault, its Chi-Chi's. "
" Yeah. " Vegeta snorted, upset, " If anyone should be placing rules upon Kakarrotto it should've been me. "
" I should warn you, Vegeta-san. Kakarrotto's uncensored thoughts are rather...passionate in nature. " Turles
taunted him.
" Now that, I also believe is a lie. " Vegeta said, " Kakarrotto doesn't think such things, and besides why would he
censor HIMSELF? "
" I dunno, maybe its a "rule". Or maybe he thinks what he thinks is too naughty in accordance with the rules and
censors it to keep himself safe from Chi-Chi's wrath. " Turles explained.
" I still don't believe you about this. "
" Then why don't you come down to the lab with me and find out. "
" I think I will. " Vegeta got off the couch and proudly lead Turles down the hall and to the lab door.

" Well....that was unexpected. " Vegeta and Turles stood there before the Brain-Freezer and the computer it was
attached to; both with a huge lock hanging over them and a "CLOSED" sign infront.
" Apparently someone must've discovered my insidious acts and decided to prevent me from watching further. " Turles
decided, then felt a tap on his shoulder, " Hello? "
" ▫SWIPE▫! " Bulma grabbed the cd from him, " You can't go poking around in other people's private memories!
Especially ones that they had erased! "
" Ah, but Kakarrotto didn't want these memories erased, that's the thing. " Turles pointed out, grinning, " The two
of you forced him to erase them. "
" We would never do such a thing to Son-kun. " Bulma protested, putting the cd-rom with Goku's name on it away.
" You would, given the circumstances. You even erased your own memories of the situation, it was really that jarring
to the two of you that such a timeline exists. "
Mirai walked by the hallway and noticed the lab door open. He peeked inside.
" Mirai, hello. " Turles smirked up at him, " I was just getting to mention you. Remember the first time you used the
timemachine to prevent the androids from destroying the world only to mess up the future in a completely different sense of
the word? " he broke into an all out grin.
" ▫FWOOSH▫! " a lavender blur rushed down the stairs and a hand was instantly slapped over Turles mouth as he was
put into a headlock, " How do you know this. " Mirai demanded nervously.
Turles lifted Mirai's hand off his mouth, " Oh, I, being a type-3 saiyajin, know many things...but this thing I
found out through use of one of Kakarrotto's files from the brain-freezer! " he pointed to it, " You've been keeping some
amazingly entertaining secrets from us, Mirai. "
The demi-saiyajin looked over at Bulma and Vegeta, who were staring at him blankly, " Ah haha..haha... " he started
to sweat, " You, don't really want to know, do you? "
" Is it something that would send my mind reeling into an unbelievable maddening horror of which I would fall to my
knees and scream as a Kaka-related fear pierced the deepest part of my soul? " Vegeta asked.
" Yes. "
" No thank you then. " the ouji said and headed back to the stairs.
" Heh-heh, he's scared. " Turles chuckled.
" I AM NOT! " Vegeta shouted, halfway up the stairs.
" Well if I recall correctly, just 5 minutes ago you were rather eager to discover Kakarrotto's hidden, secret, and
private memories of which he himself no longer has the knowledge. " the larger saiyajin said cooly, " And now that you know
Mirai has known about it for so many years you've decided you're better off NOT knowing? "
" Hai, infact I am. If this information was so important then I doubt I would've forced Kakarrotto and myself to have
it erased to begin with. "
" Oh-kay, if you want to be that way... " he smirked back at Vegeta.
" OH! " Bulma said suddenly, " Vegeta there's pizza on the oven, its still warm but you may have to heat it up a
little. "
" Thanks. " the ouji nodded and left the lab, closing the door behind him.
Turles chuckled, " Hahaha...uke. "

" Mmm..heeheehee. " Goku stared at himself in the mirror with the Tummy3000 on, " Veggie. "
" Goku-san. " Chi-Chi opened the door.
" EEP! " Goku pulled his gi shirt over it, then turned so he had his back to her and unhooked the device,
" Hereyago. " he held it out with his face bright pink.
" Um, thank you. " Chi-Chi took it from him, " What were you doing just now? "
" Nothing. " Goku said loudly.
" Yeah...right. That's what I thought. " she smiled shakily, " Now let's get going, its just past 11:00pm, that's
the Ouji's bedtime, correct? "
" Normally. " the large saiyajin said. He picked the soda up off the counter and took a sip. Chi-Chi had given it to
him so he wouldn't fall asleep in the middle of their "game", seeing as she normally had Goku in bed several hours earlier,
which was why he was usually able to wake up around 5am, " Mmm, this is good. "
" Well don't get TOO attached. " Chi-Chi took it from him. Goku frowned. She reached up and placed her arm on his
shoulder, " Now let's get going. "
Goku put his fingers on his forehead and teleported them out of his bedroom and into Vegeta's.
Chi-Chi immediately pinched her nose from the smell the small saiyajin under the covers was giving off, ::Oh gross!
His scent must get concentrated at night or something::
::I think Veggie smells nice!:: a voice said cheerfully.
Chi-Chi looked over to see Goku waving to her and sweatdropped, " It's probably a saiyajin thing. " she whispered,
" Here. " Chi-Chi handed the Tummy3000 to Goku and tip-toed around to the side of the bed.
" Zzzz..ZZzzz..ZZZzzzz. " Vegeta slept quietly.
" Aww, Veggiesocute. " Goku clasped his hands together, touched.
" He does look less menacing when he's unconsious. " Chi-Chi added, then started to lift the covers off him and
froze halfway to see Vegeta was shirtless, " Oh God...please have pants on, please have pants on. " she murmured to herself
like a mantra, then sighed in relief to see Vegeta did indeed have pants on, or rather boxer shorts, " At least its
something. Goku-sa, can you put it on him at this angle? "
" Not really. " Goku watched Vegeta, who was sleeping on his side, " Hold this! " he cheerfully handed the device to
Chi-Chi and grabbed Vegeta by the arms, then lifted him so he was sitting upright.
" WAHH! " Chi-Chi froze, fearful Vegeta would suddenly wake up, " What are you DOING?! " she whispered loudly.
" Do not worry, Chi-chan, for my little Veggie is a really heavy sleeper. " Goku propped Vegeta's back against his
pillows, " There. You sit tight, Veggie. " he smiled warmly at the sleeping saiyajin, then took the Tummy3000 back from
Chi-Chi and started to put it on the small ouji.
" Oh! Goku-san, could you do me another small favor as well? " she asked politely.
" Oh-kay. " Goku nodded.
" Put some ki into the device. "
Goku stared at her blankly, " But, why? "
" Well, it'll be more..realistic, this way. " Chi-Chi smirked.
The large saiyajin happily shrugged and did so.
" I set it on a timing mode, that means it'll slowly enlarge from its minimum size over a period of time. " Chi-Chi
rubbed her hands together.
" Ahhh.. " Goku said, then paused, " But, why would Veggie want it to do that? "
" ... " ▫
" Chi-chan? "
" Some questions are best left to the experts, Goku-san. " Chi-Chi nodded wisely, " Now hurry up, I'd rather stay in
this Ouji-germed environment for as small an amount of time as possible. " she turned around and nearly fell over,
" GOKU-SAN! "
" What? " Goku stared at her, now laying next to the heavily-sleeping ouji in the bed.
" ... " Chi-Chi folded her arms and stared at him condescendingly.
Goku pouted, " Oh-kay. " he slid out from under the sheets and waddled back over to her.
" You're taking another bath as soon as we get home, got it? " Chi-Chi put her hand on his arm.
" Hai Chi-chan. " Goku nodded and teleported them both out of Vegeta's room and back to Mount Paozu.

" Uhhhh.. " Vegeta groaned as he opened his eyes. He glanced over at his alarm clock, " ACK?! 10:30am!? " he grabbed
it, " Kuso, I can't believe I slept through the alarm, again. " he turned to the now-open door to his room and deduced
someone else must've heard it and come to shut the alarm off when Vegeta himself was unable to. The ouji sighed, then sniffed
the air and flushed light red, " Kakarrotto? " he flipped up the sheets off the empty side to his bed and yelped at the small
group of kaka-germs squiggling about, " AHH! " Vegeta grabbed the peasant-repel off the counter and sprayed the germs, " How
did THEY get in here. " he shuddered, hopping out of bed only to fall over, " WHOA! " Vegeta let out a shout as he hit the
ground, " ...hm. My equilibrium seems to be off. " the ouji casually glanced down and gasped to see a small lump on his
stomach, " WAHHH WHAT IS THAT!? "
" ... " ▫
Vegeta poked the lump, " Perhaps..I ate something sugar-laden enough to cause me to gain weight in my abdomen. " he
stood up and shuddered at it, " That does look rather disturbing. Well, I should be able to burn the extra pounds off easily
with a few hours in the gravity room. " the ouji boasted, thumping his fist against his chest. He walked over to the closet
and took out one of his larger tank-tops and pants, then put his gloves and boots on and promptly left the room.
The little ouji made his way down the stairs and peeked into the kitchen on his way to the gravity room, " Hey
Vejitto, Goge-- "
Gogeta stood there at the stove and flipped a pancake up into the air which Vejitto, who was standing on the ceiling
with his plate in hand, caught as if gravity had suddenly taken leave of the kitchen.
" o.O " Vegeta stared at them in shock and confusion.
" Hey Toussan! " Gogeta chirped, flipping two more pancakes up to Vejitto. The portara fusion easily caught these
and whipped out a bottle of syrup, which he squirted onto the pancakes. He then took out a fork and started to eat, " Want
some pancakes? "
" Uh...sure. " Vegeta walked into the kitchen and sat down. Vejitto teleported himself back to his seat.
" Since you slept late, Goggie and I de-cided to make our own breakfast. " Vejitto said happily between bites.
" Hai. Right. " the smaller saiyajin said.
" You oh-kay Toussan? You sound a little...disconnected. " Gogeta said, confused.
Vegeta got up and got a plate and fork for himself, " I'm fine. Really. I must've just eaten something that didn't
agree with me. "
" You mean the pizza? " Gogeta tossed several pancakes to him.
" Yeah..the pizza. That must've been it. " the ouji laughed nervously.
" ? " Vejitto watched him, worried.
" Oh-kay! " Gogeta chirped and took some pancakes for himself, then sat down at the table, followed by Vegeta.

" Errr....ARRRR...GRRROOOO... "
Goku and Goten poked their heads into Chi-Chi's room, " Chi-chan what are you doing? "
" Uh?! " Chi-Chi froze in place. She was leaning towards her mirror with her hands on the counter, " Well, you see
Goku-san, its part of the game. "
" Oh? The one from last night? "
" What game? " Goten looked up at him.
" YES! That game! " she smiled cheerfully, " You see, normally when the Ouji does something that angers me,
everything comes so natural. But this is "pretend" anger since I know the Ouji isn't REALLY p--ah, putting on weight. In
order to keep him from getting suspicous of me. Afterall, if this situation were real I would probably become enraged at him
and accuse the Ouji of perversing your mind into a state of, well, "non-platonicness". " Chi-Chi explained.
" ...Toussan do you know what Kaasan's talking about? " Goten asked him.
" Not really. " Goku sighed, scratching his head, " Chi-chan? "
" Yes? "
" Why would you pretend to be shocked when both you and Veggie know about you having me put that thing on Veggie's
tummy? "
" ... " Chi-Chi was silent for a moment, " Umm, because that too is part of the game! "
" Oh. Alright. " Goku looked even more confused than before.
" Now remember, when we go up to the Ouji's house this afternoon-- "
" --we get to go to VEGGIE'S! " Goku gushed excitedly.
" Veggie-san's fun! " Goten cheered.
" HOORAY! " Goku pumped his fists in the air.
Chi-Chi's bottom left eye twitched, " Now, when we go up to the Ouji's house this afternoon I want you to pretend
that nothing happened last night. The entire scene where we snuck into his room and attached the Tummy3000, DIDN'T HAPPEN. "
" Hmm.. " Goku stared at her, slight suspicion on his face which caused Chi-Chi to pale in worry, " And, little
Veggie's oh-kay with this. "
" Uh, yes. Yes he is. "
" ...and this isn't lying? Because I NEVER lie to my Veggie, Chi-chan. "
" No, its not "lying". she laughed nervously and patted him on the shoulders, " Now let's get ready to go. I still
have a little bit of practicing left to do; you'd be surprised how hard it is to pretend you're angry. " Chi-Chi motioned
Goku and Goten out of the room.
" But Chi-chan-- "
" --see you in half hour! " she cheerfully closed the door on them, " ▫Whew▫. "
Goku frowned, then glanced over as if the little ouji was standing there, " Veggie... "

" YAHHHHHHH! " Vegeta thrust his leg out under 550x earth's gravity, " HA HA HA HA HA! " he pulled his leg down and
began a flurry of punches at his non-existant opponent, who looked a lot like Goku for someone who didn't exist. The ouji
flipped up into the air and spun as he hit the ground, " HIAH! " He swung his left fist around to the side while sending his
right elbow backwards. Vegeta then kicked his right foot up and flipped backwards before landing on his toes and launching
ki-blasts from both hands at either end of the wall, " ▫Whew▫. " he stood back upright and casually walked to the machine.
Vegeta grinned proudly at the results the machine displayed in bright red digital numbers on a black background, " Heh,
that's quite an improvement over yesterday. " the ouji contently shut the machine down and lightly lifted his tank-top up.
He looked down and let out a small yelp followed by quickly pulling the shirt back down, " It..looks even bigger than before.
How can this be? " Vegeta said outloud to himself. He pulled it back up again, then down, then up. Still there, " ...my God.
There's something seriously wrong with me. " the ouji murmured in disbelief.
::Maybe an allergy?:: Nango suggested, the tail moving infront of Vegeta and tapping his stomach.
" Hai, but I haven't eaten anything out of the ordinary lately. " Vegeta folded his arms, trying to figure out what
exactly was causing this strange and sudden metamorphosis, " It's not fatty food because it would've burned off in that
rigorous 4-hour training session just now. It's not an allergy because everything I've eaten in the last 24 hours has been
foods that I eat on a regular basis. " he poked his stomach and froze. The ouji placed his entire hand onto the center of it
and felt something warm inside, " !? " Vegeta grabbed it with both his hands and felt a small ki. His arms instantly went
limp and felt to his sides while a small doom cloud hung overhead.
::Vegeta?:: his tail asked uneasily, ::What is it?::
" Nothing. I'm fine. Hahaha...of course I am. The mere idea is simply preposterous. I--I mean there's no WAY, right?
I, no I, that would mean at some point in the recent past I and one of my---but I'm not even BUILT to--I, I mean where would
it go, there's no place for it to go and-- "
::For WHAT to go!?::
" ▫DING▫DONG▫ " the doorbell rang, shattering the small saiyajin's increasingly terrifying thought current.
Vegeta opened the gravity room door and peeked outside.
" Hey Vegeta could you get that? " Bulma called from down in the lab as she held out a beaker full of a dangerous
acid which she was gently moving towards its container.
" Uh, sure. " he said in a faraway voice as he walked up to the front door. Vegeta looked down to see his shirt was
still halfway up and promptly pulled it down. The ouji took a deep breath and opened the door.
" VEGGIE! " Goku reached forward and glomped the little ouji, " HI Veggie how ARE you today! "
" HiVeggiesanhowyadoinImgonnagofindTrunksnowbye! " Goten said excitedly as he bounded inside and up the stairs
towards Trunks's room.
" Ouji. " Chi-Chi said. Vegeta cocked his head over his shoulder while Goku continued to hug him. He cocked an
eyebrow at Chi-Chi's almost-grinning smirk. Chi-Chi noticed his odd reply and instantly put on a fairly convincing scowl.
" Hmm.. " the ouji looked as if he were calculating something logically in his head.
" STOP THAT I DID NOTHING TO YOU! " Chi-Chi snapped.
" MMMMmm.. " the larger saiyajin held Vegeta tighter, his mind starting to wander making him oblivious to the goings
on around him.
" Strange how you haven't snapped at Kakarrotto to let go of me yet. "
" Maybe I'm hoping some unsuspecting germs of his will sneak into your brain through your ears while I distract you
with my purposely obvious unusual reaction to you being hugged by Goku-san. " Chi-Chi said thoughtfully.
" Aw lil Veggie... "
The ouji's cheeks started to flush red as he noticed both his legs had gone numb from the kaka-germs. He whipped out
the peasant-repel and sprayed them, causing dozens of little kaka-germs to fall to the floor. The pins and needles came and
his legs started to regain their feeling. Vegeta smirked at this small victory, " You can let go now, Kakarrotto. "
" Hm? " Goku glanced down at him, then flushed pink in the face once he realized how long he'd been holding the
smaller saiyajin and that Chi-Chi was right beside, " YES CHI-CHAN! " he said loudly and dropped Vegeta to the floor where
the kaka-germs scattered.
" Geez Kakarrotto where's your mind today? " Vegeta got up, concerned while he rubbed his rear end in mild pain.
Goku quickly grabbed Vegeta's hands and bent down to his height, " Veggie I would NEVER lie to you you know that! "
he pleaded. This time Vegeta's entire face turned bright red.
" Huh? "
Chi-Chi slapped herself on the forehead, " So much for being discreet. " she muttered.
" OI! Vegeta-san, Kakarrotto, Chi-Chi! How wonderful that I've caught you all in the same room at the same time. "
Turles said pleasantly as he walked into the room only to be randomly yanked by the back of his collar into the dark hallway.
The trio sweatdropped at the sudden interuption, then continued their conversation.
" What are you doing! " Mirai whispered loudly, slamming Turles's back against the wall with his hand over his mouth.
Turles removed the hand and smirked, " Oh nothing. Just catching up on the news and weather, relaying a little
insider information, that sort of thing. "
" Just because I made a mistake on my first time-traveling...excursion, doesn't mean you have to blab the entire
incident to everybody! " Mirai exclaimed.
" Oh, its not the fact that that particular timeline alteration was caused by YOU that matters to me, its the
aftermath which followed is what I find so deliciously interesting. " Turles rubbed his hands together menacingly.
" Yeah well I wouldn't have been keeping it a secret for the past decade or so if I didn't have a reason to! " Mirai
demanded.
" That's part of what makes it so JUICY. " Turles grinned.
" ... " Mirai stared at him lamely.
" Yesssss? "
" KAASAN "

" Is this really necessary? " Turles said as he sat strapped in to the brain-freezer.
" I happen to think so. " Bulma said as she input information into the computer while Mirai adjusted the device
placed on Turles's head, " Afterall if Mirai says Son-kun and Vegeta shouldn't know about what you're trying to tell them I
can't risk you sending either or even both of them into states of severe mental trauma. "
" Aw come on! Half the audiance doesn't even know what fic I'm talking about. " Turles motioned.
" Well they're not going to find out. " Bulma said as she turned to the main switch, only to glance back at him,
" And leave the fourth wall alone! "
" Hey. " Turles evilly waved anyway.
Bulma threw the switch and a bright light engulfed the entire lab along with a buzzing sound. It calmed 5 seconds
later, " There, now that's better isn't it. " she smiled as she turned back to Turles only to find his chair empty, " HUH!? "
" BWA HAHAHAHAHA! " an evil laugh echoed from above them.
Bulma and Mirai sweatdropped.
The demi-saiyajin sighed, " This is gonna take a while. "

" ▫Ding▫dong▫. "
" Yes? " Bulma opened the front door to reveal Raditsu standing there, " Ah! Raditsu I'm so glad you made it! "
" Anytime. " Raditsu said happily, " So, what did you call me over for? "
" I need you to restrain Turles for me. "
" ... " Raditsu's face went blank, then pale green, " Bye Bulma. " he backed up and closed the door behind him.
" HEY! " she flung the door open and ran out after him, " Raditsu wait! "
" I can't do that Bulma. I don't like him, and frankly, he scares me. " Raditsu put it bluntly.
" Aww, I didn't know you cared. "
He froze and glanced down to see Turles glomping his arm and grinning up at him, " WAHH! " Raditsu screamed and swung
his arm sideways, sending Turles slamming into the side of the house. Raditsu nervously rubbed his arm as if it were
diseased, " Ehhhh... "
" Hahahahaha! " Turles laughed, now smashed against the wall upside-down. He did a back-flip and landed on the grass,
" How are you today, my large lackey? "
" I'm sorry Bulma, I'm going home. " Raditsu reached his fingers up towards his forehead.
" Aw come on Raditsu! You can't go! Turles likes you! He'll listen to you! "
" Oh-kay, that 3rd statement you made, that doesn't necessarily condone the 4th one as an unopposable outcome. "
" What?! "
" Just because he likes me doesn't mean he'll listen to me. It's like talking to Vegeta back before Vegeta met
Kakarrotto---if Vegeta was a type-3 saiyajin, which he's not. " Raditsu explained, " I mean, he's like Vegeta used to be,
only different. "
" I'll give you a shiny medal of honor if you join up with me, Raditsu! " Turles teased while holding said large
shiny medal up in the air and waving it to and fro.
" ... " Raditsu and Bulma sweatdropped at the sight. He turned back to face her, " VERY different. "
" It won't take long, I promise. I just need you to get him down to the lab so I can strap him into the brain-freezer
and erase a little piece of information he extracted from one of Son-kun's discs so he won't remember knowing stuff about the
8th timeline that Vegeta, Son-kun, you, the fusions, and I had purposely erased from our own memories and tell Vegeta and
Son-kun so they both go into hysterics. "
" Hm. You know in that case it sounds almost worth it. " Raditsu folded his arms and nodded, " If it'll help keep
Vegeta and ototochan from losing parts of their minds, then I'm in. "
" Great! " Bulma clasped her hands together.
" ...wait, you used that thing on ME?! "

" Mmmmm... " Goku sighed happily while his shoulders were being rubbed by the smaller saiyajin beside him on the
living room couch, " Haha— "
" Ya like that, huh Kakay? " the ouji teased while Chi-Chi sat in the chair to the right of them, twitching, " So
Onna! " Vegeta glanced back at her, " To what do I owe you and Kakarrotto's little visit to? "
" Oh, we just happened to be in the neighborhood. " Chi-Chi said nonchalantly.
" How peculiar, seeing as you live nearly 4 hours away from here. " he smirked.
" Veggie's a good massager, Chi-chan. " Goku nodded, content.
" Why thank you, Kakarrotto. Its good to know I can deliver such heavy amounts of pleasure onto my subjects. "
" You're doing this to make me upset so I'll blurt out the reason why I came here, aren't you. " Chi-Chi accused him,
averting her eyes from the scene.
" Oh look! Kakay's laying down. "
" HUH!? " Chi-Chi whipped her head towards them and sweatdropped to see Goku still sitting up.
" Hahaha! Ah Onna you know me pretty well. " Vegeta laughed while continuing to rub Goku's back.
" It's not an easy feat. "
" Yeah, I know. "
" MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm——— " a huge overly-content rumble came from the large saiyajin and both Vegeta and
Chi-Chi's faces turned red.
" Uhhhh... "
" Goku-SAN! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, quickly grabbing Goku by the arm and yanking him up off the couch, " You should know
better than that! "
" I like Veggie, Chi-chan! " he chirped.
" Uh-huh. " she said flatly, " So everything's been pretty 'normal' with you today, huh Ouji? "
" Indeed it has. " Vegeta nodded thoughtfully, his back to them while he tried to reduce the bright red flush in his
face. "
" Nothing out of the ordinary? "
" Nope. "
" Nothing unusual. "
" Nuh-uh. "
" You're sure? "
" Positive. "
" Really. "
" Truely. "
" Hm.. " Chi-Chi pondered.
" You didn't slip me some poison in a recent meal and are currently waiting for 'results', are you Onna? " Vegeta
made a guess, snickered.
" Ha! I dislike you Ouji but I wouldn't attempt MURDER. " Chi-Chi folded her arms.
" Yeah, you'd miss me too much anyway. " he grinned cheesily at her.
" I WOULD NOT! " she snapped angrily.
" I miss Veggie everytime I have to go home. " Goku picked Vegeta up from behind and gave him a hug.
" Eep!? " the ouji's face went bright red and he felt Goku's hand moving towards his stomach, ::AHH! I can't let
Kakarrotto see that! He'll think something's severely wrong with me!:: Vegeta panicked and quickly put his hands over his
stomach, blocking Goku's off. The larger saiyajin looked down at him curiously, " Ah, haha. "
" Veggie? " Goku said, worried.
" I'm fine! Really! " Vegeta laughed nervously.
" Really. " Chi-Chi smirked to herself, out of the saiyajins' range of vision.
" Are you sure Veggie? " Goku tilted his head.
" Hai. " he nodded, " ...you can uh, put me down now, Kakarrotto. " the ouji's cheeks started to turn red again.
" Awww..alright. " Goku pouted and plopped Vegeta back onto the floor. Vegeta again adjusted his shirt.
" Hey uh, Kakarrotto? " he asked uneasily.
" Yes Veggie? "
" Have you ever found yourself, "allergic" to any local earth-foods? "
Chi-Chi covered her mouth with her hands to surpress her ever-widening smirk.
" No Veggie, not that I know of. " the larger saiyajin shook his head curiously, " Why? "
" Oh no reason. It's nothing really. " Vegeta waved it off, " I was just curious. "
" Is, Veggie allergic to anything? " Goku asked.
The ouji folded his arms, deep in thought, " Not that I know of. However-- " he was about to lift up his shirt when
he froze, ::Kuso..I can't tell Kakarrotto about it! Not YET, anyway. I don't need to get him worried over something as
trivial as an allergy...perhaps I should ask Raditsu about saiyajin allergies later::
" However..what Veggie? " Goku peered down towards him.
" Ah, nothing. " he patted the larger saiyajin on the shoulder.
::But Vegeta, what about that ki?:: his tail persisted, anxious and uneasy.
::There is no ki::
::You're not going to go into denial about this until its too late, are you?:: Nango asked, concerned.
::Of course not! I'm just saying that..well..wouldn't I REMEMBER such an important non-platonic event if that is
indeed what happened which I seriously hope is untrue:: the ouji nervously rambled off to him, ::Wouldn't at least YOU have
remembered it?::
Nango paused. He glanced over at Bibishii. She blushed and waved to him. Nango mentally grinned, ::Yeah, I'm pretty
sure I'd remember THAT...::
" Exactly. " Vegeta nodded, proud of himself, ::And because of that, a non-platonic incident between me and one of
my peasants couldn't have possibly occured; leaving the only possible option open--an allergic reaction::
::But...the KI?:: his tail tapped on his stomach, which was radiating with a small warm ki.
::Part of the reaction. I'm sure that within the next 48 hours my saiyajin metabolism will have found some way to
flush the allergins out of my body:: " Hmm! " he nodded confidently.
Goku tilted his head in confusion at the little ouji, " ? "
" Heh, no need to worry about ME, Kakarrotto! " Vegeta grinned, then cracked his knuckles, " Now, let's go have a
sandwich or two, shall we? " he said as he headed off to the kitchen.
" YAY! Veggie-snacks! " Goku cheered and ran after him.
Chi-Chi watched them head out of the room. Vegeta had one hand over his stomach as he walked and smirked, " Any day
now. " she rubbed her hands together cunningly, " MWAHAHAHA! "
Vegeta poked his head back in the living room, " You say something? "
" No. " Chi-Chi froze, still in the evil-laughter position.
" Hai.. " he said suspiciously, then smirked as if he somehow knew what she was plotting, which ironically he didn't,
and ducked back inside.
Chi-Chi let out a sigh of relief as she let her arms hang back at her sides.
" So Kakarrotto! What would you like on your sandwich? "

END OF PART ONE!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) I'm still filled with dread about this.
Chuquita: Aw, don't worry Veggie. Just remember, its a fake, non-real belly.
Vegeta: Uh-huh.
Goku: (smiles at where the chapter ended) Heehee, there's LOTS of things I'd like on a sandwich, Veggie! (clasps his hands together)
Vegeta: I'm sure there is. (to Chu) This situation IS "pg", right?
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Hai Veggie, its only PG.
Vegeta: (smirks) Good, in that case I feel slightly safer.
Chuquita: See you next week everyone!
Goku: BYE!
