Quote of the Week: -from dbz Movie 10 "A Dangerous Pair. A Super Warrior Never Rests!!"
Gokuh: Gohan, you've grown into a splendid young man.
Gokuh: How's life with Chi-Chi and Goten?
Gokuh: Goten's becoming more and more like me.
Gokuh: Goten! Trunks! You're dads worked hard to collect the Dragon Balls too! Don't give up!
Gokuh: Gohan! Help those two!!

Chuey's Corner:
Vegeta: ..."splendid"?!
Goku: :)
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Where do you LEARN these words?
Goku: (happily) From my Veggie!
Vegeta: (speechless and with his cheeks flushed red) Oh.
Chuquita: Welcome to Part Two of Fic #97 which is only 3 away from #100, everybody!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) You're really geared up for that 100th one, aren't you?
Chuquita: (grins) Very much so, Veggie! But for now we concentrate on the current fic at hand!
Goku: (nods)
Vegeta: (glances up at Q.O.T.W) How would you know if Goten was "becoming more and more like" you? You were DEAD in this movie!?
Chuquita: (guess) (raises her hand) All-knowing Kaka-powers?
Goku: (smiles warmly at Veggie)
Vegeta: Uh...hai. (shifts uneasily) (pauses) You know, you didn't mention me.
Chuquita: You weren't in Movie 10.
Goku: Which is VERY lucky indeed cuz the Big Meanie was in that movie and since I was dead I wouldn't have been able to stop him from trying to hurt and steal my Veggie away FOREVER.
Chuquita: Yeah, since you weren't there Trunks was sorta plopped in your place, Veggie.
Vegeta: I don't get what you mean.
Chuquita: Like you in Movie 8; the character you tries to fight Brolli head-on, then gets overwhelmed by his densetsu power and freaks out.
Vegeta: (embarassed) Thanks for the reminder.
Chuquita: Movie 10 is actually the next one due to be released. (nods) It's not bad, but it could've used some Veggie.
Vegeta: You say that about every dbz movie I don't have a part in...and gt.
Chuquita: (grins) Gt did good with you at the end once the writers remembered how much fun you are to write into the
script!
Goku: (glomps Veggie) YEAH! Veggie's the most fun of all!
Chuquita: (in thought) You know the anime's 20th Anniversary is in two years...I wonder if they'll make a new series...or a
movie?
Goku: (excited) YEAH! A VEGGIE movie! With me and our fusion-babies and niichan and Turles! But not the big meanie cuz I dislike him greatly.
Chuquita: I hear there's still vague rumors about that "live-action-movie" floating around. I'd prefer cgi though. (clasps her hand together) Can you imagine? A super-high-budgeted cgi Goku 'n Veggie walking around a 3-D backdrop of Mount Paouzu!
Vegeta: We do have 3-D; Budoukai, remember?
Chuquita: Yeah, but that's ps2 3-D, I'm talking about Summer-Movie-Blockbuster 3-D. And it would have an entertaining and bizarre storyline! Like that time-traveling Chibi Goku one that was dropped from Budoukai 3.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) You're just dying for new episodes/movies/specials, aren't you?
Chuquita: (tired grin) Very badly. (sighs) I really hope they eventually make some new special/eps...I'm going to ask for a
flash program for Christmas though so maybe I'll be able to make something.
Goku: Yeah!
Chuquita: And now on with Part 2!

Summary: Chi-Chi's decided to teach Veggie a lesson on trying to steal Goku once and for all using Videl's ImitationTummy3000 But will Goku be able to stand by while she goes through with it? And will Veggie be able to hide the strange goings on with his belly and simply hope its nothing more than a stomach-ache or will he be forced to deal with one of his biggest kaka-related fears of all? And what will he do when he finds out the added tummy-weight is a fake?

" Mmm! Such delicious sandwiches! " Goku said happily as he chewed at the table while Chi-Chi sat beside him and
Vegeta across from Goku. Goku's sandwich was stuffed with nearly every sandwich ingredient available in the kitchen.
" I'm pleased that you like them, Kakarrotto. " the little ouji smirked.
Chi-Chi folded her arms in a huff.
" Aw, have I disappointed you in some way, Onna? " he smirked.
" Veggie never disappoints me! " the larger saiyajin chirped and took another bite of his snack.
" Haha--▫oop▫! " Vegeta felt something hit the underside of the table. He peeked beneath the table-cloth and froze to
see his stomach had grown even larger and was now poking out of the bottom of his shirt, " Uhhhhh... " his bottom left eyelid
twitched.
" Come on Goku-san. Let's go home. " Chi-Chi sighed and got up.
" WHAT?! " Goku yelped, " But Chi-chan we just got here and Veggie made such tasty snacks and-- " he paused to see
Vegeta still halfway under the table, his tail nervously flitting back and forth behind him. Goku peered across the table,
" Little Veggie? "
" Huh!? " Vegeta jolted to attention only to hit his head on the underside of the table, " ▫THUMP▫! Kuso... " he
groaned in pain.
" Hahaha. " Chi-Chi chuckled. Goku glanced at her, horrified. She froze, " I mean--oh no, how painful for you. "
Goku bent down, " Veggie oh-kay under there? " he reached for the tablecloth only to have Vegeta grab his wrist.
" YES! I'm, I'm fine. I just need some rest because I'm a little woozy. " the ouji lied, then teleported out from
under the table.
The larger saiyajin frowned, concerned, " Oh Veggie... "
" You know on second thought, let's hang around for a while. " Chi-Chi smiled, ::This could get interesting::
" Really? " Goku's eyes lit up.
" Yup. "
" YAY! " he teleported himself infront of Vegeta's bedroom door and plopped himself infront of it like a guard, a
content little smile on the large saiyajin's face, " I'm gonna protect my Veggie! "
" You do that. " Chi-Chi said, then walked over to the living room tv and turned it on.

" Hn..there's got to be something in here! " Vegeta nervously went through his clothing drawers and pulled out a
large, dark blue sweater, " Ah, this is big enough to cover it, easily. " he put it on over his current shirt, " There. "
His tail tilted at the sight of the sweater.
" Well, at least I know I'm not pregnant--aside from the fact that I'm not built to become impregnanted--saiyajin
pregnancies usually last from about 8 to 9 months. The fact that this, THING has grown to such a size within a single day
completely destorys that theory. "
::You keep repeating that as if trying to convince yourself of something:: Nango sweatdropped.
Vegeta patted his stomach, " Yes, well... "
" Veggie? " Goku knocked on the door, " Are you oh-kay in there? "
The ouji stuck his head out the doorway, " ... " he stared at Goku uneasily.
" If, if Veggie has a problem...I can help you. " the larger saiyajin offered.
" I have no problem Kakarrotto I'm perfectly fine. " he folded his arms.
" Its your tummy, isn't it? "
" O.O " Vegeta's eyes widened 5 times over. He quickly ducked back inside and slammed the door shut behind him,
" He KNOWS?! HOW DOES HE KNOW?! "
" Know what? " Goku asked from behind the door, confused.
" Nothing Kakarrotto! It's NOTHING, I'm sure. " the ouji laughed nervously, the worst-case scenario once again
running through his head. He started to shudder in small vibrations against the door.
" Veggie..? " Goku tilted his head.
" Hey Kakarrotto? "
Goku turned around to see Raditsu standing there wearing a scouter and holding what looked like a fishing net.
" Have you seen Turles? Bulma asked me to catch him for her since he's carrying some "classified information" in his
head. " he pointed to his own, feeling much safer somehow with the scouter on. He adjusted his dark maroon gi pants and
leaned the fishing net against the wall.
" Not really. He came in once earlier but Mirai pulled him into the hallway and I haven't see him since. " Goku
explained.
" Oh. " Raditsu sighed, disappointed.
" Raditsu! " Vegeta whispered from the other side of the door.
" Huh-- " he leaned towards the door only to be yanked inside, " YIPE!? " the door slammed behind him. Goku stared
at it curiously, then picked up Raditsu's fishing net and swung it around by the handle a couple times in amusement.
Raditsu shook his head, dizzy for a moment, " Geez, Vegeta what was that for! " he exclaimed.
The ouji stood there with his back to him, " Raditsu, I'm going to show you this because I believe I can trust you
with this information and that you may know what's causing it. "
" Um, oh-kay. " he scratched his head.
Vegeta turned around and pulled his sweater and shirt up to reveal a rather developed stomach.
" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! " Raditsu let out a cry of shock as he backed up into the door, " YOU'RE PREGNANT? "
" WHAT?! " Vegeta's expression mirrored the one Raditsu had just made.
" I mean...ah.. " the larger saiyajin tried to tear his eyes off Vegeta's abdomen, " Are you, pregnant? "
The ouji sweatdropped, " That's what I was about to ask. "
" Well, uh... " Raditsu walked up to him.
" It's--it's possible this is only an allergic reaction to an earth-food I ate, right? " Vegeta shifted around.
Raditsu put his hand nervously on Vegeta's stomach. It felt warm with a small ki inside, " ... "
" Allergic...reaction, hai? " the ouji almost pleaded for it to be true.
The larger saiyajin got back up, " Vegeta how long has your stomach, ah, looked like that? "
" Since I woke up this morning. "
" THIS MORNING?! " he gawked, " Something very strange must've happened to you if it's gotten that big over only a
few HOURS. "
" You think I really HAVE been impregnanted, don't you! " Vegeta gawked in horror.
" NO! No, of course I don't Vegeta. " Raditsu tried to calm him down, " Now, think back. Did anything out of the
ordinary happen to you this morning? "
" Hmm. I slept in late. " he sat down on the bed, " And the room smelled vaguely like Kakarrotto so I searched for
the source only to discover a small group of kaka-germs on my bed, which I promptly sprayed with Peasant-Repel and then
went about my day. " Vegeta explained thoughtfully.
" ... " Raditsu stared at him blankly.
" What. " the ouji cocked an eyebrow.
Raditsu opened the door slightly and peeked out at Goku, who had gotten bored with the fishing net and was now simply
sitting there in the hallway against the wall humming something. He pulled his head and the door back in, " NO. " Raditsu
shook his head in discern, " Ototochan wouldn't... " he glanced back to see Vegeta sort of rubbing his stomach while staring
at it, " Vegeta? "
" HUH!? " he instantly put his hands back onto the bed, flushed with embarrassment.
" You know...I have heard of these things called stomach bombs before. Things that you stick into someone's food;
no bigger than a pea; and 48 hours later it explodes, busting your stomach from the inside out. " he pointed up to a
thought-bubble of Vegeta with his stomach getting bigger and bigger until the word "Ka-BOOM" flashed in his place.
The little ouji paled at the bubble and promptly popped it, " You're JOKING?! "
" No, they make them in the East Galaxy, though none of us have any access to such technology. Turles is the only one
who's been to space recently and I somehow doubt he'd want to seriously injure you..physically anyway. "
" That's a mild relief. " Vegeta said dryly.
" I can tell you this much, its not an allergic reaction if it has that ki inside it. " Raditsu sighed, " Maybe you
should get an x-ray of it. "
" NO WAY! "
" Raditsu getting an x-ray would mean Bulma would have to see me in this condition, I can't let her know about this!"
he clutched his stomach.
" Why not? "
" BECAUSE! She would automatically assume my enlarged stomach meant I was pregnant which meant that at some recent
point in my life I engaged in non-platonic acts with one of my peasants! " Vegeta pointed to the stomach again.
" Well don't look at me! " he sweatdropped, " I don't like you that way. "
" I know that. " the ouji twitched, " I was talking about...you know, that person who's related to you and also only
likes me in a purely platonic manner and who is currently outside this door. " he stumbled.
" Kakarrotto. " Raditsu said flatly.
" Hai...Kakarrotto. "
" Yes? "
Vegeta bolted to attention and whipped around to see Goku standing there. He quickly checked to make sure his stomach
was properly covered, relieved that it was, " Kakarrotto. "
" Veggie? "
The little ouji looked away, " Kakarrotto, we've never engaged in non-platonic acts with each other, correct. " his
face was already flushing red while he avoided looking directly at Goku.
" GASP! " Goku gasped, his face turning bright pink, " NEVER Veggie! I would NEVER do such a thing its against Rule
Number 2 which is right below Rule Number 1--the biggest rule of all. " his eyes temporarily widened at the end, " ...why
do you ask? "
" Ah, no reason! SAY! How about you go help Raditsu here catch Turles for Bulma. " Vegeta quickly changed the subject
and started to push the brothers towards his door.
" But, but Veggie--? "
" You sure you're gonna be oh-kay, Vegeta. "
" Hai. " he nodded confidently, " After all, there is NOTHING the Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ouji cannot
conquer! "

" Hahaha! " Goku laughed. He was at Bulma's along with the entire gang for Christmas. The large saiyajin was
currently eating a cookie from the fresh, delicious batch Vegeta had made. Speaking of the little ouji, " ? " Goku looked
around the room. Everyone was happily chatting and some of the children were opening presents.
" Kakarrotto! " a voice exclaimed warmly.
The large saiyajin's ears perked up and a smile covered his face. He turned to see Vegeta standing in the doorway of
the kitchen, " VEGGIE! " he beamed and held out his arms while the smaller saiyajin came running towards him, arms open and
uncharacteristically wanting a hug. Once Vegeta was almost a foot before him he started to fade out and disappeared
altogether just before touching Goku; only a small wind brushed past him instead. He froze in shock, " Veggie? " Goku looked
around, nervous. He tapped Chi-Chi on the shoulder, " Chi-chan where'd Veggie go? "
" Who? " she cocked an eyebrow at him.
" Chi-chan that's not funny! " Goku pouted, feeling insulted for the ouji.
" ? " Chi-Chi stared at him, baffled.
Goku walked up to Bulma, who was talking excitedly to Kuririn, Yamcha, and Launch, " Bulma, Veggie disappeared.
Where'd he go? "
" "Veggie"? " she said as if she'd never heard the word before.
" YES! Veggie! Where is he! " Goku was starting to get worried now.
" I don't know who you're talking about, Son-kun. " Bulma said truthfully, shaking her head.
" A new friend of yours, Goku? " Kuririn suggested.
" NO! Veggie's BEEN my friend! Veggie IS my friend! For the past 13 YEARS Veggie has been and is my friend! " he
then dashed over to the table, " LOOK! This plate of yummy, warm, soft, gooey chocolate-chip cookies was made by VEGGIE! "
Goku reached for the plate only to discover it gone, " Huh? "
" Goku are you feeling alright? " Launch asked, worried.
Goku rushed into the kitchen and opened the drawers where the kitchen supplies were. Bunni's supplies were still
there but all of Vegeta's were gone, even his "The Great and Powerful Cook" apron was gone. The large saiyajin began to pant
nervously as a cold sweat dripped down his face, " OH! I know the gravity room! " he ran down the hall and screeched to a
halt. There was no gravity room, not even a door. Goku felt his body begin to tremble and he ran back in the other direction
and up to the ouji's room, " VEGGIE! VEGGIE! " he flung open the door and nearly collapsed in the doorway.
Empty.
Vegeta's entire room was completely empty.
No bed, furniture, not even the still fairly-new closet door that led to Vegeta's now defunked Goku-watching lab.
" ... " Goku stood there for what felt like a long time. A dry lump slid down his throat, " Veggie. " he said in a
little voice as he walked towards the center of the room. The floorboards creaked beneath him, giving the room a hollowed-out
feel to it. The soft plush red carpet that had once adorned the smaller saiyajin's bedroom gone as well, " Little Veggie
where are you? "
" VEGGIE! VEGGIE WHERE ARE YOU PLEASE TALK BACK OR MAKE A NOISE IF YOU CAN HEAR ME! " Goku cried out at the top of
his lungs.
" ... " ▫
Nothing but silence.
Goku glanced up at the ceiling and gasped to see something pinned to it. He flew upwards and took the item off the
ceiling. It was a note. A note that glew bright neon green like radioactive waste. Goku squinted his eyes to try and see the
black ink the message was written in over the glow. His shoulders slumped when he saw it was written in saiyago.
" ▫SQWUAK▫
Goku whipped his attention to Vegeta's now-curtainless windows just in time to see a flock of birds fly by. He
sighed in disappointment and turned back to the note in his hands and gasped. The note was disappearing as he held it, " Ve..
Ve....Vegg... ":::
" ...VEGGIE!!! " Goku shot to attention, knocking a small lump off his bed from the jolt, " I GOTTA SAVE MY VEGGIE! "
" Wahh—— " Goten sat up on the floor, then wobbled to his feet, " Whoa! " he grabbed onto the side of the bed, dizzy.
Goku hopped out of bed, then put his fingers on his forehead as he was falling towards the floor and teleported out
of the house.
Goten rubbed the side of his head and looked upward, " Toussan...? "

" Ohhh, this is just RIDICULOUS! " Vegeta wailed and half-threatened to slam his head forward onto the sink before
him.
Vegeta's stomach-lump had grown again overnight, and now that it was larger he was able to determine it wasn't his
stomach at all that was expanding but the area that was slightly below it--the same area where Bulma expanded when she was
pregnant with Trunks.
The ouji lamely reached for his toothbrush, then sweatdropped when he found he couldn't reach it with his 'stomach'
in the way so he walked around to the side of the sink to grab it. Vegeta squirted some toothpaste onto the brush and ran it
under cold water, " Well, its offical. Somebody up there hates me. Or somebody down there is enjoying their twisted yet
foolhearted revenge. " he momentarily glanced downward. Vegeta brushed his teeth, then spat in the sink and took a glass of
water, " If I were plotting revenge upon myself this wouldn't exactly be the brand of revenge on mind. " he motioned to his
pregnant-looking tummy, " However I gotta admit it's a fairly creative yet slightly sick way to go. "
Nango sweatdropped, ::You can't really just admit that you might actually be pre--::
Vegeta sent a twitching glare at him.
--ah, heavy with child, can you:: Nango corrected himself.
" Heavy with CHILD? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow at him, gawking.
::...well, its not like there's that many synonyms for "pregnant" in the english language...not that many that I
know of anyway. I mean, there's "expectant"...:: his tail shrugged, ::Now if you're talking synonyms for "pregnant" in
SAIYAGO--::
" Shush! " Vegeta grabbed the tail out of instinct, knowing that it couldn't actually speak; not having a mouth of
its own, " I know how many different words there are for that term in my native tongue, thanks. " his cheeks flushed red. The
ouji let go of the tail and picked up one of his looser tank-tops.
::It's not gonna work, you're too big now::
" You've been really talkative lately, ya know that. " Vegeta sweatdropped.
The ouji sighed, " Listen, I can still pull this off. All I have to do is take a deep breath and-- "
--that only works for stomachs! Not pregnant bellies!::
" WHO SAID I WAS PRE--EXPEC--WITH CHILD ANYWAY! " he snapped, then started to pull the shirt over his head and down
past his stomach until..it ripped right in half, " ... "
" Kuso. " Vegeta muttered.
::It's not like you don't have 4 more of them in the closet::
Vegeta tossed his ripped shirt to the ground, " Well, I can't just wear one of MY shirts and expect no one to
notice the HUGE PREGNANT-LOOKING BULGE hanging out infront of me. " he folded his arms, " So now what? "

" I can't believe I'm going through Bulma's wardobe looking for maternity gowns. " Vegeta said flatly to himself as
he quickly pressed through Bulma's closet...a closet which took up two entire walls of her bedroom.
::She has such wonderful taste in clothes:: Nango said while looking at one of Bulma's evening gowns.
" Heh, I know. " Vegeta smirked. He continued his search, then pulled something out of it.
Nango looked on in horror, ::But, it's PINK!::
" I know that! " the ouji looked away, his cheeks flushing red with embarassment, " I was thinking maybe I could
try to pass it off as my "Bad Man" shirt.
::It's too much of a color difference. Your "Bad Man" shirt is bright eye-piercing magenta-pink. What you have in
your hands is more of a cuddily, little girl, uke-pink::
" You are so supportive of me. " the ouji remarked sarcastically.
::You're welcome!:: Nango chirped, playing along.
" Wait, how can you see what color this is! You don't have any eyes! " Vegeta exclaimed.
" ... " Vegeta hung his shoulders, " Oh nevermind. " he took the hanger off the dress and then squinted his eyes
shut as he put it on, shuddering in disgust of it as he did so. Vegeta glanced over at Bulma's mirror--which took up the 3rd
wall, with unease.
::Wow..it actually hides it afterall:: the tail said, impressed.
" Oh dear God I can actually pull "uke-pink" off. " the little ouji muttered in shock, " Note to self, after this
incident is done and over with, not a single pink clothing item will ever again adorn my SEME body. EVER! "
::Don't say it like that, you'll jinx yourself!::
" Shush, I know what I'm doing. " he adjusted the dress so it would look more like a shirt. He couldn't stick the
bottoms of the dress into his pants--which hung loosely to begin with due to him being unable to pull them up past the lump,
so he simply rolled the frilly bottom of the dress underneath itself, " No need for me to lose ALL my dignity today. " he
left the room, closing the door behind him.
" Why hello there, Miss Oujisama. " a voice snickered beside him.
" Turles. " Vegeta acknowledged, embarassed. The evil type-3 saiyajin had managed to evade Bulma, Mirai, AND Raditsu
for the remainder of the previous evening/night. Infact he was still bouncing from one hiding spot to another.
" You look great in pink, Vegeta-san. It fits you rather well. " he smirked.
" Hmmph. " Vegeta folded his arms, " No I don't. "
" Strange that you're so against being ukefied yet you go into your wife--ah, girlfriend's--she's you're girlfriend,
right? "
Vegeta sighed, " We're only partially married. Long story. "
" --closet and put on one of her dresses, a frilly little pink one too. " Turles continued without skipping a beat,
" It makes one wonder about things.. " he grinned wickedly.
" It's not like I do this every day! And I put this stupid thing on for a reason! " Vegeta snapped, his cheeks
heating up again.
" To impress Kakarrotto? " Turles gave him a cheesy, almost Goku-ish grin.
" ... " for once Vegeta's mind went blank as he stood there, still pointing at Turles from his previous anger. He
sighed, " Yeah fine sure whatever. " the ouji quickly brushed it off and walked past him towards the stairs.
Turles blinked, stunned, " What? Really? "
Vegeta continued walking down the staircase.
::NANI!? HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT!!:: Nango gawked, blushing furiously.
::It'll keep him stupified for a good 5 or 10 minutes while I figure out my next move:: Vegeta said, with an
oncoming feeling of regret a good 70 miles or so offshore, ::Besides its better than having him find out I have, whatever
this is,:: he poked his stomach, ::just below my gut::
::True...:: the tail trailed off, ::But STILL!::
Vegeta walked into the living room and past the couch only to suddenly be yanked back down onto it and engulfed in
a monstrously warm hug, " MMPH!? " he froze in place. The feeling of kaka-germs squiggling their way onto his skin easily
identifying his "attacker". Vegeta looked over his shoulder anyway and would've yelped had he not been partially-silenced by
the pajama-top over the lower half of his face. Goku stared at the little ouji with a desperate, forlorn expression as though
he hadn't seen Vegeta in years rather than 10 hours, " Umm, Kakarrotto.. " Vegeta tried to get his voice back.
" I WON'T EVER LET YOU DISAPPEAR ON ME VEGGIE NOT EVER! " Goku sobbed, hugging on tightly.
" Eh? " the ouji cocked an eyebrow.
Goku pulled away just far enough so he could see Vegeta's face while still slightly hugging him, " Oh Veggie I had
a terrible nightmare! You disappeared and after you did nobody else remembered you except for me and all your stuff was gone
and there was this glowing green note and I'll protect you Veggie I PROMISE! " he glomped hard onto Vegeta again.
The ouji sat there, his face bright red, " Ah, yes, well.. " he tried to slip out of Goku's super-grip, " You don't
need to worry about anything like that happening, Kakarrotto. And you don't need to "protect" me either. "
" But-- "
" Because I, your ouji and ruler, will be protecting YOU. " Vegeta smirked boastfully.
" Oh. " Goku nodded, sitting back onto the chair, " O--oh-kay. " he then took a good look at Vegeta and tilted his
head in confusion, " Little Veggie why are you wearing pink? "
" Ah-- " Vegeta's face returned to "bright red", " --that is, not important right now.
ButifyoumustknowitsbecauseeveryshirtIowniscurrentlyinthewasherdryerandorlaundryroom. " Vegeta quickly rattled off.
" Wow, EVERY SHIRT YOU OWN, Veggie? " Goku gasped in surprise.
" Ah haha.. " Vegeta laughed nervously, " Yeah, imagine that. "
" Poor little Veggie. " Goku frowned, " Having to wear a color he doesn't like because all his shirts are in the
wash. " he pouted, then lit up, " OH! I know! Instead of wearing that pink little dress, Veggie can just walk around in his
pants all day without a shirt--OH! Wait no its getting cold outside that would be bad for Veggie. I know! You could wear my
pajama top! " he took it off and held it out towards Vegeta.
Vegeta shifted around uneasily, " Umm, Kakarrotto I know you're being friendly and helpful and all...but you are
aware you just SLEPT in that, right? "
" So? Sometimes I use the same pajamas for several days in a row. There's nothing wrong with 'um. " Goku blinked.
" The GERMS, Kakarrotto. "
Goku looked down at his pajama shirt, which was crawling with dozens of kaka-germs, " Oh yeah. Haha, I almost forgot
about them! " he grinned cheesily and put his hand behind his head.
" Indeed. " Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Hey Vegeta? " a voice called from nearby. The ouji quickly grabbed a nearby blanket and thrust it overtop of him.
" Is this part of the game? " Goku asked, confused.
" Game? " Vegeta repeated from under the blanket, cocking an eyebrow.
" Veg--oh hi Son-kun! " Bulma said happily, walking up to them, " Why is Vegeta under a blanket? "
" I dunno. " he shrugged.
The ouji poked his head out from under, " I'm just cold, that's all. "
" Oh. " she replied, " Listen have either of you seen Turles? "
Vegeta pointed to the staircase. Bulma turned towards it to see the Turles no longer in the spot he'd been when
Vegeta had passed him moments ago, " ...well he WAS there. " he murmured, then smirked, " I think I actually surprised HIM
for once. "
::I have a bad feeling about that, Vegeta:: his tail nodded.
The ouji ignored him, twitching.
" You surprised him? " Bulma gawked.
" Well he just kept asking me questions so I decided to confuse him with a reply. " he smirked.
" Is that safe? " Bulma's eyes widened.
Vegeta put his hand on his chin " I'm not completely sure... "
Bulma watched him and noticed something seemed out of place in the outline Vegeta made beneath the blanket,
" Vegeta? I know this'll sound odd, but do you have something under that blanket with you? "
" WHAT?! " the ouji instantly froze in place.
" It looks like you have a pillow in there. " she reached down to poke Vegeta's stomach.
" BULMA! " he said loudly, causing her to stop just before she touched it.
Bulma looked down at him.
" I need to tell you something very important. Something that I myself am not even sure what it is. " he said,
trying to keep his voice steady, " But first I need to check something. " Vegeta peeked under the blanket for a second, then
looked up again, " You know I love you, right? "
" Of course I do. I love you too. " Bulma chuckled.
" Oh-kay. " the ouji took a deep breath, " Here goes. " he grabbed the blanket tightly and yanked it off to expose
his stomach.
" GASP! "
" OH MY! "
Bulma and Goku stared at him in shock.
" You're PREGNANT!? "
" Veggieswearing a DRESS!? "
Vegeta sweatdropped at Goku, " Didn't you see me just now when you pulled me onto the couch? "
" Well, yeah but I didn't notice it was a...I thought Veggie was just wearing a very long shirt. " Goku said,
puzzled.
The ouji turned back to Bulma, " ...well? "
" ... " she stood there blankly.
" Before you say anything, let me just tell you that you this lump before you appeared yesterday morning and no I
have not slept with anyone besides you. " Vegeta said cautiously, " ...at least not to my recollection. "
" ... " ▫
" Bulma? " he said, worried.
" TO THE LAB! " Bulma pointed off heroically into the distance.
" NO! " Vegeta cried out in panic.
" ... " Bulma stared at him, confused, " Don't you want to find out if its a boy or a girl? "
" WAHH! " the ouji fell over. He instantly got back up, " I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I'M PREGNANT AT ALL! " Vegeta clutched
his stomach protectively.
" If I was having a baby I'd wanna know if it were a girl or boy. " Goku spoke up.
Vegeta sweatdropped, " Well you're not having one. And neither am I! "
Bulma folded her arms, " It is very strange that you would suddenly grow like this within only a two-day span...unless that's normal for-- "
" --saiyajin males CAN'T have BABIES! It's physically impossible! " Vegeta exclaimed, " And its especially
impossible for those of royal birth. "
" I wonder what the baby's name would be... " Goku wondered.
" WHY ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT SUCH THINGS! " Vegeta yelped, gawking.
" You know, we could easily solve this by giving you a simple physical. " Bulma explained, nodding.
" A physical. " he repeated uneasily, clutching his stomach this time.
" What's wrong? "
::Bulma I'd really rather not have a physical and discover my entire body is flooded kaka-germs not to mention an
unborn Kaka-baby:: he sent her a psychic message.
::But if you don't have a physical we won't be able to figure out exactly what that is, and if you are by some
miracle of both science and nature--pregnant--who the father is:: she replied.
The little ouji looked away, ::M--maybe its just an infection. You know, something that causes temporary bloating::
::Vegeta you look like you're practically halfway through your 2nd Trimester!::
::I'm NOT halfway though my 2nd Trimester because I HAVE NO TRIMESTERS because I'm NOT PREGNANT!:: he frantically
shouted.
::Vegeta listen. When was the last time we did it?:: she questioned him.
The ouji paused for a moment, :....I'm not sure. You?::
Bulma sighed, ::Oh I don't remember either! But then again I've had a hard time remembering a lot of things lately::
she folded her arms in thought.
::And THAT'S why you should work less!:: the small saiyajin said cheerfully, then felt something on his shoulders.
He looked back to see the larger saiyajin contently rubbing them, " Uh, Kakarrotto? "
" ! " Goku froze, then slowly removed his hands from Vegeta's shoulders and placed them in his pants pockets, " ... "
Vegeta and Bulma stared at him, slightly disturbed.
" I am trying to help Veggie calm down? " Goku offered.
Vegeta quickly sprayed his shoulders with peasant-repel.
" Oh, that's nice, Son-kun. " Bulma said, then turned back to Vegeta, " And you don't want to have a physical on the
basis that you're afraid of the worst possible outcome coming true? "
" Yes. " Vegeta bluntly replied.
" You don't have to worry, Veggie. I'm sure everything'll turn out fine! " Goku said confidently.
" So what you want to do is just wait this thing out and see what happens? " Bulma told the ouji, unsure.
" Hai, better to worry that I have been impregnated somehow and then find out I'm not then to think I'm not and then
find out I am and thus spiral into a mental/emotional/physical breakdown of sorts. " Vegeta decided.
" Oh. Well...I guess that makes sense. " she said, still worried about him, " You'd rather wait it out then? "
" I think so. " the ouji nodded while staring at his stomach.
" As much as I think it would be safer to just give you the checkup, I trust your knowledge of your own body. " Bulma
sighed, then said warningly, " But if just so much as the smallest thing feels off with you, PLEASE come find me. If that's
not a baby it could be something potentially dangerous. "
" You mean like some deadly, fatal disease? " Vegeta paled.
" Exactly! "
" ... " he mildly gulped.
" Don't worry Veggie, its not a disease. " Goku chirped.
The small saiyajin looked down at his stomach, " I hope not. "

And so, several more days passed. Vegeta's stomach didn't get any bigger, but even so he managed to avoid the
remaining household members who didn't know about his addition. He decided to just avoid wearing shirts altogether and
simply put one of his thicker bed-sheets around him when he would leave the room, and, if he ran into anyone, would simply
claim he was cold.
The small saiyajin held his stomach with one hand and the two ends of the bed-sheet with the other while he passed
the kitchen.
" Hi Veggie! "
Vegeta glanced to his left to see Goku standing there holding out the ouji's chair for him while Vejitto and Gogeta
sat delicious snacks down onto the table.
" Come get something to eat Veggie, you gotta be hungry. " the larger saiyajin offered.
Vegeta stared at them suspiciously for a moment, then did so. Goku pushed his chair in, slightly startling the ouji
and making him uncomfortable, " I can, pull my own chair in thanks, Kakarrotto. " he looked down at the cookies, cupcakes,
and donuts before him along with a large glass of milk, " So...what's this for? " the ouji glanced up to see the fusions
watching him carefully, Vejitto with an anxious grin and Gogeta with curiousity and a bit of disbelief, " Uh, what? "
" Am I really gonna be a big brother again, Mommy! " Vejitto gushed.
" ACK! " Vegeta nearly fell back in his chair only to have Goku catch it before he could do so. The larger saiyajin
smiled down at him and Vegeta flushed red with embarassment. He sat back upright and shook it off, " You TOLD them?! " he
snapped at Goku.
" ... " Goku looked away and whistled nervously to himself.
Vegeta folded his arms and closed his eyes, " I'm sorry to disappoint you two but no I am NOT pregnant, I'm merely
suffering from an infection...or an allergy...or a disease....but not a pregnancy, of that I can assure you. "
Gogeta zipped over to him and tugged at the blanket. Vegeta quickly tugged back, " Is there, really a baby in there,
Toussan? "
" NO! " Vegeta clutched his blanket over himself tight, " I mean, if there was a growing living being inside of me
then that would make one automatically assume that I had fallen uke to a certain person. "
" Why is Veggie pointing to me? " Goku blinked.
" Now, you know I would never allow such a thing to happen, being the strong, seme person that I am, do you Gogeta? "
he ignored Goku's comment.
" Yes Toussan. " the dance fusion shook his head.
" Good. Then we can safely assume that whatever is causing this situation to be, it is not the result of some hot
and steamy non-platonic interaction between my peasant and I. "
" Aw Veggie I could never break Rule Number 2 like that! " Goku exclaimed, his cheeks flushing pink.
" Yeah, I didn't think so either. " Vegeta smirked at him, then turned back and sweatdropped to see Gogeta had lifted
up his blanket and was currently staring at Vegeta's stomach with his jaw hanging open.
" Wow..." the dance fusion murmured.
" Can I see? " Vejitto poked his head beside Gogeta.
" Toussan. " Gogeta looked up at him, then grinned, " Can I listen for the baby's heartbeat? "
" WAHH! THERE IS NO HEARTBEAT AND THERE IS NO THIRD FUSION-BABY! And if there ever would be I would undoubtedly be
seme in said operation! " Vegeta folded his arms.
" It's so warm, Mommy. " Vejitto smiled as he lightly placed his hand on Vegeta's stomach.
" Ooh! I wanna touch Veggie's tummy! " Goku dangled his fingers just above the ouji's abdomen.
" AHH! " Vegeta pulled the blanket back over himself, " NO WAY! " he got up, though with slight clumsiness due to
his added stomach-weight, " I feel awkward enough as it is without having you three lining up to touch my bloated belly. "
the ouji shook his fist while he had his back to them. Vegeta reached forward and rubbed his stomach slightly. He snatched
several cupcakes and left the room.
" Little Veggie? Don't you want the rest of your yummy snacks? Or at least your glass of milk? " Goku asked,
saddened, " If you want I can give you a straw? " he plopped a silly-straw into the glass and smiled, " Eh? Eh? "
" That straw is pink. " Vegeta said flatly.
" So? "
" ... " Vegeta slapped himself on the forehead, " Pink is an UKE color, Kakarrotto! "
" Sorry Veggie...umm, I only really have one straw like this, unless you want a regular one? "
" No thank you Kakarrotto. You can have it. " the ouji sighed and headed into the living room.
Goku shrugged and started to drink the milk as he and the fusions followed Vegeta.
Vegeta was about to sit down on the couch when he saw a strange-looking box set up infront of the tv, " What the--? "
he walked up to it to see it was covered in a curtain with a paper sign written in saiyago reading "'AMOR' - a Turles
Production.", " ... "
" Hey Veggie what's that box for? " Goku asked.
" Don't say anything--just, leave. " Vegeta grabbed him by the arm and started to so only to have music suddenly
blast from behind them, causing Goku to swing around in curiousity. The larger saiyajin plopped before the box. Vejitto and
Gogeta leaned over the top of the couch to watch.
Vegeta decidedly sat down as well, " Kuso...I thought that lie was enough to shock him into leaving me along for at
least a couple days! "
The curtains parted before them to reveal Goku and Vegeta sock-puppets, the Vegeta one wearing a pink tanktop with a
large bulge at its stomach. The little ouji twitched. Turles tail flicked around a foot behind the 'stage'
" Why hello, Kakarrotto, how are you today? " the Vegeta sock-puppet asked, Turles deepening his voice in an effort
to mimick Vegeta's.
" I am doing wonderfully today, little Veggie. " Turles's Goku-voice was dead-on, being that he was a type-3
saiyajin as well.
" Haha! " Goku himself clapped, entertained.
" And how are you, Veggie? I'm surprised to see you wearing PINK, a color which does not usually a-dorn your little
Veggie body. "
" Oh God he's got Kakarrotto down perfectly. " Vegeta groaned, embarassed.
" Tee-hee, do you like how it looks on me, Kakay? " the ouji sock-puppet said.
" "TEE-HEE"!? " Vegeta snapped, upset as he lept to his feet in anger only to let out a groan of pain and grabbed
his stomach, panting, " You just wait til I get over there... "
" It looks great on you, Veggie! " "Goku" clasped his hands together.
" Well if you like it on me, wait'll you see it off-- " the other sock-puppet tossed the pink shirt off to reveal
his muscled upper-body and very-apparent tummy.
Vegeta stood up and slowly started to stomp his way towards the cardboard box.
" GASP! Veggie! You're--you're--pregnant!! " the Goku sock-puppet gasped.
A spotlight appeared over the Vegeta-puppet and he turned away and landed in an overdramatic position, " I know! And
the worst part is I can't even remember HOW or WHEN it happened! "
" I remember. "
" You do? " the Vegeta-puppet looked over at him with a ray of hope.
" ▫Ahhhhh!▫ " miracle-esque music played for several seconds until the Goku-puppet began to speak again.
" Yes Veggie, I do. It was all very sudden... "
The sock-puppets were instantly dragged down under the stage and replaced by hand-puppets of the duo.
The Goku and Vegeta hand-puppets walked past each other casually.
" Hi Veggie. "
" Hi Kakarrotto. "
They each left on opposite sides of the stage, then two seconds later flew at each other and began passionately
swapping imaginary saliva.
" MMMmMMMmmmm— "
" Oh my! PG-13! " Goku gasped and turned his head away, squinting his eyes shut and covering them with his hands as
his face glew bright pink and his tail twitched behind him, blushing equally as furiously.
" ... " Vegeta gawked at the puppets for a moment, his eyes widened 10 times over. He then regained himself and
snatched both the hand-puppets and sock-puppets from the stage. The ouji let out a snort.
Turles moved his puppet-less, gloved hands for a moment, then sat up in the box, " And they lived happily ever after!
Goodnight everybody! " he waved.
" ▫Clap▫clap▫clap▫! "
Vegeta looked back and sweatdropped to see Vejitto and Gogeta each with a sock-puppet of themselves on their right
hands clapping, " ... " he turned back to Turles only to see him no longer there, " Errr...KUSO! " the ouji angrily threw
the puppets to the ground, " Curse him. " he twitched, then glanced over at Goku, who was still sitting there shaking
lightly and glowing brightly while his hands covered his eyes, " Kakarrotto.. " he walked up to Goku and sat down beside
him.
" That was naughty Veggie! I'm not allowed to look at naughty things like that it's against rule #67! " Goku said,
his voice even shaking.
" Kakarrotto they were hand-puppets. " Vegeta said flatly, lifting one up by the end, " And you know that situation
Turles just presented in puppet-form would NEVER occur in reality. "
" Hai. " the larger saiyajin nodded, still covering his eyes.
" And that's because we only admire one another in a purely platonic way. "
" Hai. " Goku repeated, still shaking.
" Now, how about you and I and Vejitto and Gogeta all go back into the kitchen and share those "yummy snacks" they
made? " Vegeta offered, trying to calm Goku down.
" O--oh-kay. " Goku squeaked out, holding his arm towards Vegeta.
The ouji smirked and took it, feeling very semeish as he helped Goku up and led the larger saiyajin into the other
room, " Good Kakarrotto. Very good. "

The next day Vegeta woke up to discover his stomach had grown even larger. It wasn't 2nd Trimester, but it wasn't
3rd yet either. The second the ouji had seen it he decided he would stay hidden in his bed under the covers until either
A) He figured out a way to put an end to this madness, B) He got hungry, or C) He found a way to keep his abdomen's
largeness from being seen.
It had been three hours since he'd woken up, and Vegeta still had not left his bed. By the time the three hours had
passed all he had accomplished was that he'd convinced himself what happened to him was what he had feared had happened to
him, that he was somehow impregnated and a kaka-baby was rapidly growing inside him. Vegeta pulled his sheets up over his
nose in terror. His fear masking the more logical questions of "Why is the baby growing so fast?" "How is it
physicologically possible for me to be pregnant when I'm a male saiyajin?" and "When did I concide to allow my favorite
peasant to make love to me and how come neither of us can remember such an act?". Vegeta shook and pulled the covers over
his head, " How can this be? " he squeaked out, " I'm the Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ouji. One of the most feared
warriors throughout the universe! Heir to the entire saiyajin kingdom! WHY AM I GOING TO BE A "MOMMY"!!! " he wailed in
horror and sobbed against his stomach, then stopped, " No. No crying. Ukes cry. And I'm no uke!! I'm going to handle this
situation with my ablility to remain calm under stress along with my vast and super-intellegent royal saiyajin intellect! "
he pointed to his brain.
" OH GOD WHY! " Vegeta slammed his fists onto the matress beneath him, " WHYYHHYHHYYYYYYYY! "
" ▫BRING▫ ▫BRING▫ "
Vegeta poked his head out from under the covers to see the phone in his room ringing. He reached out and grabbed it,
" Hello. " the ouji said, trying to keep his voice sounding as normal for him as possible.
" Ouji. " the voice on the other-end smirked.
" Onna. " Vegeta tried to sound as boastful as normal, but partially failed.
" So? How've you been, I haven't seen you in about a week. "
" Why would you care? I thought you disliked me. " he chuckled.
" Oh I do. I dislike you a great deal. It's just that you see--Goku-san came home last night feeling uncomfortable. "
she said, annoyed, " You wouldn't happen to know what upset him enough to throw every sock he owns into the laundry room,
would you? "
" Hm, socks eh? Can't say that I do, Onna. " the ouji snickered, mentally grateful Chi-Chi couldn't see the wrecked,
nerve-shot, tear-stained look on his face, " Perhaps my little Kaka-muffin is doing some winter-cleaning? Getting ready to
replace his old socks with new ones? "
" I somehow DOUBT that. " Chi-Chi muttered, then grinned wickedly, " So, how's your stomach? "
" HUH?! " Vegeta froze in place.
" I hear there's a bad flu virus going around. Wouldn't want you to suddenly get sick to your stomach and die. "
" Well aren't you cheerful this morning. " Vegeta said flatly, sweatdropping. He glanced at his stomach, thankful she
couldn't see that either.
" Why thank you. By the way Ouji, it's almost 12:00pm. "
" Oh. " he glanced at his alarm clock, which read 11:56am.
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
" BABIES "
" NANI!? " Vegeta nearly had a heart-attack.
" Gohan and Videl are planning on having lots of babies, grandsons and grandaughters, for Goku-san and I VERY SOON. "
she boasted, " It'll be so much easier to deal with you once I have such Ouji-Insurance. "
::Heh, I'd like to see them try and take Kakarrotto away from me and THREE "fusion-babies!":: he laughed in his head,
then turned pale, " Oh my God what am I THINKING?! "
" Eh? " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow.
" Oh, nothing Onna. " Vegeta said casually, brushing it aside, " So, is Kakay with you? "
" Yes he is and that's where he'll be staying for the rest of the day until he loses this sudden fear of socks and
cardboard boxes. " Chi-Chi snorted, " Goodbye, Ouji. "
" Later. " Vegeta smirked and Chi-Chi hung up. The little ouji instantly let out a huge sigh of relief, " Oh geez!
ONNA! How could I have forgotten about HER reaction to---THIS! " he pointed to his stomach, " She'll ridicule me all the
way to the delivery-room! " he wailed, then paused, " But wait! If this is Kakarrotto's, which I have a sinking feeling it
is, then Onna will be enraged by the news--possibly even disown Kakarrotto! " Vegeta grinned, " And then Kakarrotto shall
come to live with me and I shall taunt Onna of my ridiculous fortune! HA! "
Vegeta looked down at his stomach and paled again, " Ohhhhhh.. " he shuddered.

" Heh-heh, the Ouji sounds a little on-edge. He must be nearing the halfway point by now. " Chi-Chi snickered as she
set the phone down, " Honestly Goku-san, I would come with you to see the Ouji, but I know if I spoke to him in person it
would be considerably hard to restrain myself from bursting into laughter and thus destroy my entire plot. " she nodded
thoughtfully, " Don't you think? "
" ... " ▫
Chi-Chi looked over her shoulder, " Goku-sa? "
Goku looked up at her from the living room sofa with a sock on either hand, both of them clasped together.
" Goku-san, what are you doing? " she asked slightly disturbed.
The larger saiyajin instantly seperated his hands and put them behind his back, " ... "
" Are you trying to tell me something? " she lifted one of his hands up, " Are your hands cold? "
" Umm, a little. " Goku shifted around, " ...Veggiesmyfavorite, Chi-chan. "
" Yes we've well-established that fact, Goku-sa. " Chi-Chi said flatly.
" ▫BRING▫BRING▫ "
Chi-Chi got the phone, " Hello? "
Goku wandered off back to his room with the socks still on his hands.
" Hey Kaasan. "
" OH! Gohan! My genius-scholar son and soon to be father of my many many grandchildren! How ARE you! " Chi-Chi said
happily.
" Umm, actually Kaasan I was wondering if Videl and I could come over to-- "
" --discuss possible color schemes for the baby's room? "
" No. Ah, we were wondering if maybe we could come and pick up Videl's ImitationTummy3000. " Gohan asked.
" Her what?....OH! That. " Chi-Chi said, then laughed nervously, " You know what Gohan, how about I bring it over
to your place as soon as I get the chance, oh-kay? "
" But couldn't you just have Toussan teleport it here instead? "
" ... " Chi-Chi glanced up the stairs to where Goku's ki was, " He's uh, busy right now. "
" Busy? "
" With his socks...his hands are cold so I'm going to go find his mittens for him. "
" Oh...alright. " Gohan scratched his head, " You're sure you'd rather bring them here-- "
" --absolutely! "
" Sure. I guess I'll see you then. "
" Alright Gohan. Goodluck with your soon-to-be-my-MANY-grandchildren! "
" Bye. " Gohan said and the line went dead. He glanced over at Videl who was sipping coffee a couple feet away from
him, " You know, if I were a rebellious son I'd have only one child just to spite her for the years of induced studying. "
" Haha.. " Videl sweatdropped.

Bulma walked down the hallway with her net, " Mirai could you get that? "
" ▫Ding▫Dong▫ "
" Raditsu? "
" ▫Ding▫Dong▫ "
She sighed, " Alright. " Bulma put her net down and walked to the front door, " Hello--oh! Son-kun! Back so soon? "
she smiled.
" Umm, I've decided that I want to help Veggie 'n his Veggiebaby by keeping Veggie as comfortable as possible. " the
larger saiyajin shifted around, his cheeks flushed, " I brought pillows! " Goku perked up and held several out.
" Erm, that's nice. " Bulma let him in, " So, did Vegeta ever figure out what's wrong with him. I haven't seen him
in a couple days and it makes me nervous. " she said, worried.
" Oh Veggie's fine. " Goku smiled, " Just a lil confused. " he headed towards the stairs, " Wanna come with me to see
how Veggie is doing? "
" Sure. " Bulma said, following him up, " You know I'm just about to give up on this hunt for Turles. He's way too
hard to capture and if and when I have to erase his mind of that particular memory I'll do it the moment he decides to bring
the topic up again to you and Vegeta. "
" He is very sneaky. " Goku looked down at his hands.
" ...why are you wearing your socks on your hands? " Bulma asked.
" Oh, no reason! " Goku chimed in, then knocked on Vegeta's door, " Oh Veggie? Veggie! It's me 'n Bulma. We're here
to make you and your lil Veggiebaby comfortable—! " he said in a sing-song voice as he opened the door.
Bulma and Goku let out a gasp, " !!! "
5:59 PM 12/5/2004
END OF PART TWO!
Chuquita: YAY! 50-some kb! Hooray for normal-sized chapters!
Goku: (to audiance) There's just one more after this!
Chuquita: Hee— I luv normal-sized chapters. The super-long ones are mind-numbing by the time you finish writing 'um. (nods)
Vegeta: (sighs at his a-ccursed predicament) I STILL would rather Kakarrotto have been the one to be "impregnated".
Chuquita: Yeah but that would've been a completely different story, Veggie. The only easy part about having Goku by the one as I originally intended is it would make the ImitationTummy3000 a little easier to grasp. Afterall Goku would know what it was and that it was there so he could take it off whenever you weren't around.
Vegeta: Ah.
Chuquita: That's why with you, I had to make it some super-enhanced product so you wouldn't discover it was a fake. It was originally supposed to look like those items they use on sitcoms/soap operas/dramas when the script calls for a character to be pregnant.
Vegeta: (folds arms) Well then you should've gone the easy route instead of allowing yourself AND Kakarrotto be become
partly-influenced by outside sources of which two I can already name. (twitches at audiance, frustrated) And don't think I
don't know which outside sources they are! The Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ouji knows who thinks he should be uke'd!Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Calm down Veggie, you're not REALLY pregnant in the fic, you know that.
Vegeta: Hai...but still! (pouts stubbornly)
Goku: (smiles) But Veggie I think you'd make a good Mommy.
Vegeta: (points to Goku) (to audiance) SEE! SEE THE FRUITS OF YOUR INFLUENCE! (grabs two pairs of super-effective earmuffs and puts one pair on Goku and the other on Chu) (nods, proud of himself) There. That should insure my safety in the role of PLATONIC seme for fics to come.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) (can barely hear anything through the super-earmuffs) WHAT?
Goku: (playing with his earmuffs) Heehee, they're so nice 'n furry 'n warm.
Chuquita: (starts trying to pull said earmuffs off) And, ah, now for the reviewer-replies. (nervous laugh) Haha..ha...
To BlackDragonFury: Thanks! Yup, he's only got Goku's information so far. Veggie's erased memories are on a different cd.
Veggie did remember them :) Glad you like it!
To Hakura0: Thanks! Well they don't exactly completely 'trust' Turles yet. I know, that's why I made the Tummy3000 a
super-advanced product, to try to get around a problem that if Goku had been the one with the tummy, wouldn't have been
there. She was too into her own plan to think about the kaka-germs. Yay! Somebody noticed! Heh, thanksgiving on its own
wouldn't have made very much sense since dbz has its own version of Earth, but I started writing this just before
thanksgiving and I like the parades/floats 'n such. Their abilities are kinda between Goku 'n Veggies with cooking, so its
hard to tell.
To tea: Glad you like it! Aw, you're welcome. Heh, yeah, Veggie did get the belly. Really? Well, I can't have him reveal it,
not now anyways. Veggie finds out in Part 3 which'll wrap up this fic. :)
To PerfectCell17: Happy you like it! Yup, poor poor Veggie. He's so confused. Wow! Turles is so well-liked :)
To GogetaJr: Raditsu just doesn't trust Turles due to his tricking/taunting of both him and the others. That's why Chi-Chi's
keeping her distance from Vegeta, she's afraid she'll let it slip. Goku had nearly every ingrediant available on his
sandwich :D
To Jyae: Veggie finds out in part 3! Goku does know, only he's misinformed and thinks Veggie knows about his belly and this
is all a game.
To divastarz/hieilover: Thanks! Lol, he'd be surprised, that's for sure. Brolli'll be back a couple fics from now.
To RyukoVulpix: LOL! Poor Veggie, I bet he would end up with a breakdown that way. Maybe. Glad you like that part. Veggie 'n
his tail :) Yup! Turkey is good!
To SupersayiankingTommy: The hair changes color? Cool! Sorry 'bout that. Hope he gets better. Thanks. Veggie's all confused.
That's easily enough to make her faint. I can't reveal that just yet, eventually though.
To mkh2: Hi! I think I am going to put an exclaimation mark in the title when I got to upload this chapter. Lol! Goku
announcing it sub style sounds fun. Hai, I'm keeping them where they are for now. Goku just can't help himself sometimes :)
Veggie's so easily freaked out by certain things. That he does! :D Raditsu's just an easy target from Turles, other than
Veggie 'n Goku. Ya know if I remember correctly all of his henchmen in the movie aside from the twins were bigger than him.
Hee— it may just be released soon, or at least some information about it via Turles or the cds.
To orchideater: Aw, thanks so much. I like the title too! Especially since the last 7 of them have been one-word titles.
(I didn't even mean for them to be like that '.';; ) Goku's mini-story was fun to write. Chi-Chi's very happy with this
particular plan. Glad you liked him. Veggie's reactions are much more entertaining. Where Veggie would freak out Goku would
probably have gotten all gushy about it. I know, that was one of my main problems with shifting the Tummy3000 over to Veggie;
I had to make it some super-invention that blends in with whatever skintone its attached to and has the consistancy of a
tummy and gives off a warm radiation and all this other stuff. It's supposed to be so advanced that Veggie doesn't notice
something's off because of both that and the fact that he's so on-edge right now due to it.
To Nekoni: Hee— glad you like it! I'm pretty sure Turles'll be keeping that info. Bulma and the others have nearly given up
trying to catch him, especially with all those type-3 saiyajin techniques of his. Veggie asking for a real baby? I dunno...
Goku: Ooh! (takes the presents) Isn't that thoughtful Veggie?
Vegeta: (twitches) ...
Goku: Say Veggie, what gender will Veggiesbaby be?
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) There isn't any baby and you know it! (face flushed with embarassment)
Goku: (disappointed) Oh yeah...
To SSJ5Gogetto(SSJ3Gotenks): Thanks! Yeah, Turles does that sometimes. Can't reveal that just yet.
To Jenna & Vash: Naps are good. Bejito trying to take over Earth would end up very messy. Lol, Hiei's battle over the chips!
To Goddess Shimi: ROFL! What a funny scene. Chi-Chi trying to think up the proper word while poor Goku's getting dragged
along and Veggie's unaware Goku was staring at him. '.';; Glad you're happy that Veggie ended up with the tummy. Ah, I know
what South Park is. They're in the middle of new episodes (points to Comedy Central commerical). Heh, little scene.
