Quote of the Week: -from dbz movie #2 "The World's Strongest Man"
Kulilin: Gokuh...
Kulilin: Thaw me out, I'm freezing!!

Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Ah, Movie 2. The SNOW movie!
Vegeta: So that's why you used that one.
Chuquita: I was this close to using "Gokuh: Grow, Compliant Staff!!" cuz it made me laugh outloud while reading it, but didn't out of the double-sidedness of the phrase--which is why I think I laughed in the first place.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Funi's "Power pole extend" isn't much better...
Goku: Heehee..nyou-bo!
Chuquita: Welcome to fic 98, everybody! Only 2 more fics til #100!
Goku: WHOOHOO!
Chuquita: (clasps her hands together) I'm so excited! (to audiance) I had a hard time thinking up this title. I got a suggestion from mkh2 and from that suggestion I went to Microsoft Word's thesaurus to look up snow-related terms and came up
with this! (points to title).
Vegeta: "Slushie"?
Chuquita: It's supposed to be spelled with a "y", but I like the "ie" better. Besides it reminds me of a combination of Slurpee and Icee--both of which are delicious treats with the consistancy of partially-melted snow! (grins)
Vegeta: Ah.
Chuquita: You know I haven't seen Movie 2 in FOREVER (I have it along w/movies 1 & 3 in a boxset upstairs) cuz its not on here like the later, yet-to-be-dubbed movies.
Vegeta: (shrugs) I'm not in it, you're not missing anything.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) ... (perks up) I think Kuririn did get partially frozen by these ice-rays the bad guys had.
Goku: (nods) (clutches his head) I remember them! They're the ones who wanted to wanted to steal my body from me!
Vegeta: !? (blinks) How would you do THAT?
Goku: I am not sure...they never got that far.
Chuquita: And that's cuz Goku's "The World's Strongest Man"!
Goku: :)
Vegeta: (grumbles) ...
Chuquita: Anyways! Today's fic, while involving Goku and Veggie, stars their two fusion-babies, Vejitto and Gogeta!
Gogeta: HOORAY!
Vejitto: (grins) Happy to be back, Chu!
Goku: (gushes) Goggie 'n Ji-chan! (glomps them both) It's so nice to see you a-gain!
Chuquita: For those who don't know, Goggie was introduced in the 2nd Christmas Special, "Jingle Bells".
Gogeta: (grins) I was so Veggie-ish back then..
Vejitto: (nods, nostalgic) That you were.
Chuquita: It was also the first and only time Goggie's timeline's Goku and Veggie were seen. (grins) But in this fic they return and we find out what they've been up to in the past two years! We also might meet Goggie's timeline's Vejitto!
Vejitto: Another me?
Chuquita: Mmm-hmm! And now on with the fic!

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) You have a lot going on in this one.
Chuquita: (nervous laugh) Hah...I know. (points into the distance) OFF WE GO! TO THE FIC!
Goku: YAY!
" Hmmhmmhmm, lalala, jingle all the way! " Vejitto hummed as he taped one side of the "Happy 2 Year Anniversary,
Goggie!" banner that hung near the top of the kitchen wall.
" Wow..two year anniversary, huh. " Raditsu, who was holding up the other side of the banner, said. Vejitto tossed
him the tape and Raditsu taped his side to the wall.
" Mmm-hmm! " the portara fusion nodded contently.
" ...of what? "
" WAHHH! " Vejitto fell over in mid-air, " Of Goggie arriving in this timeline, Uncle Ditsu! " he sweatdropped. The
fusion paused, " What did you think I meant? "
" Well, at first I thought it was Gogeta's birthday...but then when you pulled out the banner... " the larger
saiyajin trailed off, " Wait, what do you mean "arriving in this timeline"? "
" Oh, Goggie's not from this timeline, just like Mirai. Only they're not from the same timeline either. " Vejitto
pulled out a package of balloons and opened it, " You see, in this timeline, after I died from letting down my ki-shield
inside Buu, Mommy and Toussan were split back apart. A while later, they had the chance to refuse using the fusion dance. "
he nodded, " In this timeline, Toussan was unable to persuade Mommy to refuse, but in Goggie's timeline, he was! " the fusion
grinned.
" How did ototochan do that? " Raditsu asked.
" Ah---... " Vejitto started off, then his expression went blank, " I actually have no idea. " he laughed.
" GAH!? " Raditsu sweatdropped.
" I guess we're both a lil uninformed, huh Uncle Ditsu! " Vejitto chirped, blowing up a large red balloon.
" Yeah... " Raditsu scratched the back of his head, " Huh. And all this time I thought ototochan and Vegeta randomly
decided to have a second "fusion-baby". " he smiled, " I had no idea Gogeta was--- "
" --HERE! HI Goggie! " Vejitto said happily as the dance fusion walked by them.
Raditsu quickly whipped around and gawked to see all the decorations for the surprise party--including the huge
banner--had suddenly disappeared.
" Hi Jitto and Uncle Ditsu! " Gogeta said, carrying a large fish over his shoulder, " How are you today? "
" Great! " Vejitto grinned, then whipped out a small piece of paper, " Goggie, could you do something very important
for me? "
" Hai! " Gogeta nodded determindly.
" I need you to pick up the items on this list. " he held the paper out towards him, " It's for a cake. " Vejitto
said with a sneaky smile on his face.
" A cake? " the slightly-younger fusion gushed, " I luv cakes, Jitto! " Gogeta took the paper from him.
" You know which store right? "
" Mmm-hmm! " he nodded contently, " HERE! " Gogeta chucked the large fish into Vejitto's arms, " Hold my fish! "
" Oh-kay! " Vejitto said as if it were an everyday occurance, " See you in a bit, Goggie! " he waved, watching the
dance fusion dash out to the front door.
" Bye Jitto! " he left, closing the door behind him.
Vejitto and Raditsu stood there in silence.
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
" ▫WHEW▫! " the portara fusion plopped onto his rear end, " Tricking Goggie's way too hard! " he groaned, then
smiled tiredly over at Raditsu, " Goggie and I can practically read each other's minds so I had to put up a bunch of mental
barriers just now so he wouldn't find out...and I normally don't practice at mental barriers at all. " Vejitto stood back up.
" But--what about the decor-- "
Vejitto tugged at a kitchen-doorway-patterned loop and let go, causing it to swing upwards like a windowblind to
reveal the real kitchen, " Ta-DA! " he beamed.
" ... " Raditsu stared upward in disbelief, " I don't think I'm ever gonna get used to this stuff... "

" Mmm. " Goku smiled as he sat on his bed with his Christmas List and pencil in-hand, ::Things I want for Christmas:
By Son Goku. 5) Lots of tasty snacks, 4) To be able to go over to Veggie's house anytime I wanted, 3) No more Rules,
2) To be happy, 1) For Veggie to be happy.:: the large saiyajin's tail wagged behind him, then stopped, " Ohhh..I can't show
this to Chi-chan, she'll get mad at me. " he pouted in realization and stuck the list under his pillow, " I wonder what
Veggie's doin' right now? " he flopped backward onto his pillow and pouted, " Veggie's ki is still sad...he must've been
really upset, it's been a whole week now. " Goku glanced outside at his window. It was windy out and lightly snowing, " I
wonder if Veggie knows its snowing? " he glanced over at the door to his room, which had been locked from the outside.
Chi-Chi had been shaken by the emotional repercussions on both saiyajin by what had started as a prank to 'stop' the ouji's
"advances" on "Goku-san" once and for all. Out of fear of having them seek non-platonic comfort in each other she decided to
keep Goku from leaving the house for an entire week. While a mere locked door wasn't really going to be able to keep Goku
inside, Chi-Chi did know that he would stay there simply because sneaking out of the house to go see Vegeta was against rule
#27. And Goku never disobeyed The Rules.
Goku crossed out another number on the calender in his room and smiled to see his sentence was over. He had spent
the previous Veggie-less week training, sparring with Goten, and drawing little plushie-like Veggie-doodles all over his
diary, " And now I can finally go see Veggie again! " he gushed excitedly.
" Hey Goku-sa! " Chi-Chi shouted from downstairs. Goku instantly froze in place, " Get your coat on! I need you to
come with me to the mall and hold the packages for me. "
" But-- " he stuck his head out the bedroom door. Chi-Chi looked up at him.
" Yes? " she sighed, folding her arms.
" I, well..I don't really wanna go to the mall right now. " the large saiyajin avoided eye-contact.
" Why not? "
" ...Veggie? " Goku glanced back at her, nervous.
" What did he call you about THIS time? "
" Veggie didn't call me--it's just, umm...my Veggie-less week is over and I'd like to go see 'n be with Veggie now
cuz I miss him so very much and Veggie was so sad and hurt when I left 'n I just want Veggie to be happy, Chi-chan. " he
tried to explain.
" You can go see "Veggie" when you're done carrying the gifts for me. I need someone to help me out at the mall,
Goten's too little to carry a gigantic pile of gifts and still be able to navigate himself around the mall. And as much as I
hate to admit it there are just some things too heavy for me to carry. " Chi-Chi told him.
" But what about Gohan? "
dl
/dl
" Ahhhhh.. " Gohan sighed, he and Videl equally content as they sat on the couch their apartment's living room, a
fireplace infront of them and a mini Christmas-tree in the corner of the room. It was nice, quiet, and his mother wasn't
shouting orders at him like a drill sergant, " This is the best Christmas EVER. " he smiled.
" Aw Gohan-kun. "
He and Videl happily clinked their glasses of hot cocoa together. Gohan took a sip.
dl
/dl
" Gohan doesn't live here anymore so he's out of my hands. " Chi-Chi folded her arms, " A fact I would be slightly
upset about if I didn't know he and Videl were going to have my many future grandchildren for us! " she grinned.
" Oh. " Goku nodded.
" Now go get your coat, scarf, gloves, mittens, boots, and hat on and come on down. " Chi-Chi instructed.
Goku waddled back into his bedroom and closed the door behind him. He looked around uneasily, then lifted his
fingers to his forehead, " Please forgive me Chi-chan, but I gotta see my Veggie! He NEEDS me!" and with that he teleported
out of sight.

" You're sure that grocery list will keep Gogeta busy long enough for us to finish, huh. " Raditsu said in awe as he
picked another item up out of the box.
Vejitto grinned and nodded, " Positive! Goggie luvs chocolate, candy, and sweet pastry and non-pastry treats. Once
he hits the eisle of shiny candy he'll easily give us another half hour. "
dl
/dl
:::Gogeta stood before the 12 foot tall sugar-coated fountain that glistened in the sunglight while gobs of milk
chocolate erupted out of its nozzle and into the fountain's pool while eisles of sugar-loaded candies and treats rested upon
either side of it, beckoning the fusion to take a bite or two or three. Gogeta clasped his hands together with delight and in
hungered awe, " OOOoooh... ":::

" ... " Raditsu sweatdropped.
" HELLO EVERYBODY AND MERRY CHRISTMAS! " Goku happily exclaimed, appearing infront of them, " I can't be-lieve it I
actually made it back to Veggie's house unseen! YAY! "
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
" Is that wrong? " he contemplated.
" TOUSSAN! " Vejitto gave him a quick glomp, " How are you! "
" We haven't seen you in over a week, ototochan. Where WERE you? " Raditsu gawked.
Goku flushed with embarassment, " Chi-chan wouldn't let me leave the mountain for a week cuz she was a-fraid that if
I were to go see Veggie and comfort him it would lead to non-platonic desires between us. " he twiddled his thumbs.
" She brought it on herself...doing that to Vegeta. " Raditsu shook his head, " Either way it makes no sense to
punish YOU for it! "
" But, I'm the one who put the Tummy3000 on Veggie in the first place. If I hadn't-- "
" --Chi-Chi tricked you into doing that. It's not your fault, Toussan. " Vejitto patted him on the shoulder.
Goku thought for a moment, " Is Veggie feeling any better? " he asked.
" Yup! " the portara fusion nodded, " At least he seems to be. " he paused, " 'Course Mommy changes the subject
whenever you try to bring the topic of his almost-3rd-fusion-baby up, but other than that Mommy seems back to normal. "
" He always reacts this way when he gets really emotionally upset, he has since he saw Bejito-sei blow up. " Raditsu
frowned, " Its a defense mechanism. " he pointed to his head.
" Poor little Veggie. " Goku pouted, then perked up, " Well that's why I'm here! To cheer Veggie up! " he said
happily and made his way to the stairs.
" OH! Toussan wait! " Vejitto dashed to the staircase.
" Hm? "
" When you're done cheering Mommy up, do you think you could come down here and surprise Goggie with us? It's his 2nd
Anniversary of meeting us! " he grinned.
" GASP! Goggie's anniversary? " Goku said with surprise, " Oh my! I cannot believe I forgot all about it! "
" Well, actually it was last Wednesday. " Vejitto's face flushed red with embarassment, " But I got so caught up in
the whole "I'm going to be a big brother TWICE" thing that it sorta just skipped my mind. "
" And Gogeta's. " Raditsu pointed out.
" Yeah. " he grinned cheesily.
" Well you can count on me, Ji-chan! " Goku gave him a thumbs-up, " And maybe, if I get Veggie to feel better enough,
he'll come say surprise with us! "

" Hmm...you know this lab is a lot bigger than I previously thought. " Vegeta murmured as he wandered around inside
it. The ouji had been uneasy about confronting Goku about the 'tummy' incident after he left and decided to deter his
attention to non-kaka-related things while not busy training. This meant following random members of the household around
Capsule Corp. He'd actually learned bits of trivia through this, like that the time machine could pick up radio stations from
any time period while in the timestream, that he could defeat Trunks and Goten at their Budoukai videogame with his eyes
closed and simply listening to the sounds of it, that Bunni had an extension in the oven that when pulled out could hold 10
trays of cookies on it--apparently Goku's cookie limit as a child.
And now he stood before one of the walls in the deeper part of Bulma's lab. A wall that held jars of various bodily
fluids of those she gave check-ups to because they didn't want to go to the hospital or, in Goku's case, had a fear of the
hospital.
There were four sections on the wall, one for Goku, Vejitto, Gogeta, and himself. Currently the small saiyajin was
staring at Goku's, " Wow. How did you get all these fluids out of Kakarrotto without him running away? "
" Hn? " Bulma looked up from her computer work and sweatdropped to see Vegeta across the room, " Vegeta what are you
doing in here? "
Vegeta picked up the first small jar containing a blood sample, " Trying to push Kakarrotto-related thoughts out of
my mind so I can completely regain my calm sense of composure before the holidays offically arrive. "
Bulma cocked an eyebrow at him, " Holida---OHMYGODCHRISTMAS?! " she bolted to attention.
The ouji sweatdropped, " Please tell me you didn't just say that in a way to lead me to believe you forgot it was
coming up? "
" ...Vegeta what's today? "
" The 17th. "
Bulma paled, " Umm, Vegeta could you excuse me for a moment. " she said with a nervous laugh, then rushed upstairs,
closing the door behind her.
Vegeta chuckled, " Well this is certainly going to be an interesting Christmas. " his eyes scanned across the wall at
Goku's jars full of liquids. Vegeta's face turned a pale blue at the one on the end, " She has KAKA-SEEDS in here?! " the
ouji jumped back in fright only to have his back slam into something warm and squishy.
A kaka-germ fell onto his nose, " Haha! " the little germ laughed.
Vegeta pulled out his peasant-repel and sprayed the germ off his nose, " Kakarrotto. " he looked up.
" Hi Veggie. " Goku smiled warmly at him.
The ouji's face flushed red and he bounced away from the larger saiyajin, " Yes. Hi. "
" Veggie. I wanted to say I am really REALLY sorry about what happened and if Veggie needs a nice long warm hug that
I'd be willing to-- "
" --hey I'm fine! " Vegeta held his hands up, " No need to platonically embrace me or anything. " the ouji laughed
nervously.
" But Veggie you looked so hurt when I left! "
" And now I'm not. " he said, " I'm alright Kakarrotto, really. I just pushed it to the back of my subconsious mind
where I keep all the emotional pain and loss I've been dealt with since I was kidnapped by Freeza. " Vegeta said
nonchalantly, " Now, what have you come here for? "
" Umm, I did come here to give Veggie e-motional and physical comfort, but now that I know that Veggie's alright
::Even though I do not completely believe it:: I was wondering if he could come help me help Ji-chan set up for Goggie's
surprise party--and then I can take Veggie somewhere to..buy him a special present? "
" A "special present". " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow.
" The best present EVER, Veggie! " Goku bent down to his height and stared at him intently. He grabbed the ouji's
hands, " I really want you to be happy. " he whispered.
" Ah ha. Hahaha. " the bright red, glowing saiyajin quickly yanked his hands out of Goku's grip, " Th--that's nice
Kakarrotto MAN is it hot down there how about we go upstairs and get something to eat! "
" YEAH! Delicious snacks for Veggie 'n me! " the larger saiyajin gushed, instantly perking up again, " That sounds
GREAT Veggie! " Goku chirped.
" Heh. " Vegeta smirked and started up the stairs, " Now THAT'S my peasant. "

" Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad, lalalalala, lalalala, la la la la! " Gogeta sang as he walked down the street back
to Capsule Corp dragging a shopping cart behind him full of the items on Vejitto's list along with a few treats for himself.
The dance fusion walked up the driveway and to the front door to see Vejitto standing there infront of it, doing his best to
keep from grinning.
" Hi Goggie! "
" HI Jitto—! " Gogeta replied, " I got your snacks! " he held out the three plastic bags full of the items from the
list.
" Hee—..thank you, haha, Goggie.. "
Gogeta tilted his head.
" Would you like to come in? " Vejitto stiffled another chuckle of excitement.
" Oh-kay! "
Vejitto grabbed the doorknob and swung the front door open to reveal an 8 foot tall chocolate cake.
" ▫DA NA NA NA NA NA▫! " music exclaimed.
" WOW! " Gogeta gasped.
" HAPPY ANNIVERSARY GOGGIE! " Vejitto whipped out a birthday party hat and plunked it on the slightly younger
fusion's head.
" You remembered! " Gogeta grinned, coming inside and staring in awe at the many birthday-esque decorations in the
living room.
" Heee—— silly Goggie! I wouldn't forget the day we met you--even though it was last week--but look at all the fun
and festivities! " Vejitto pointed inside.
Gogeta took a whiff of the cake, " I was wondering why you had a mental barrier up before I left. "
" You two don't use mental barriers? " Vegeta poked his head out of the kitchen while holding a tray of cookies.
" TOUSSAN! " Gogeta zipped over to him, " You don't look lost and confused anymore! That's GREAT! " he glomped onto
Vegeta tightly, then looked over his shoulder, " Ooh, cookies! " Gogeta took three and promptly ate them. He let go of
Vegeta, " Mmm, Toussan makes the best cookies EVER! "
" I wasn't lost and confused. " Vegeta muttered, " Just a little bewildered. "
Vejitto plopped himself down at a spare seat at the table, " Uncle Ditsu and I decorated and then got everyone
together to celebrate! " he motioned to the group at the table that consisted of basically everyone who lived in the house
and Goku; Bulma, Mirai, Trunks, Bura, Vegeta, Bunni, Dr. Briefs, Scratch--Dr. Briefs's cat, and Raditsu who had come over to
help Vejitto.
Gogeta smiled contently, then paused, " Hey, where's Tur--mmph?! " Vegeta slapped his hand over the dance fusion's
mouth.
" Shhh! Don't jinx it! I haven't seen him all day and I'm HAPPY that I haven't seen him all day because I am not yet
completely back into the mental state of which I can deal with him and not lose parts of my sanity in the process. " Vegeta
whispered loudly at him.
" ? " Gogeta blinked.
" Happy ANNIVERSARY, Gogeta! "
Vegeta froze.
Gogeta turned around to see Turles standing there smirking and holding out a package, " A present! " he took it,
" Thank you Turles! " he ripped it open and gasped, " SNOWBOOTS! " the fusion held out a pair of dark blue snowboots.
" Now all you need is some snow. " Vegeta chuckled, then glanced outside and let out a yelp to see a foot of snow
suddenly on the ground where grass had been a second ago while more of it fluttered down from the sky, " ACK!? " he turned
incrediously to the fusions.
" :) " Vejitto and Gogeta grinned at him.
" Ah..hai. " Vegeta sweatdropped.
Gogeta plunked his snow boots on and got to his feet, " Come Jitto! Let's go play in the snow! "
" YEAH! " Vejitto pumped his fist in the air.
" But--the party--and the cake-- " Raditsu said, confused.
" We could have a snow picnic and eat the food outside! " Vejitto said.
" With snow chairs and snow-tables and plates! " Gogeta whipped out several paper plates.
" Why not use snow-plates too? " Bulma asked.
" Hahaha! Aw Bulma that's silly! If we used snow-plates the food would get cold. " Gogeta nodded.
Bulma sweatdropped, baffled.
The fusions each took a plate of food and then headed outside.
" See you when we come back for seconds! " Vejitto waved and with that they left the house.
" Huh. " Vegeta said, then took a cookie off his tray for himself only to see a hand on the cookie three cookies
away from it, " ? " he turned to see Vejitto and Gogeta standing there.
Vejitto put the cookie in his mouth, " Mmm—— " he chewed.
" We're back for seconds. " Gogeta grinned cheesily and he and Vejitto held out their plates.
" ... " Vegeta stared at them, then sighed and held out the tray of cookies, which the two fusions quickly divvied up
between them.
" Thank you Mommy! "
" Thank you Toussan! " they smiled, then dashed back outside.
Vegeta sighed.
" So? Ready to take revenge? "
" Eh?! " Vegeta turned to Turles, " Revenge? On what? "
" Chi-Chi for tricking you. I mean you WERE sobbing the entire night after she took Kakarrotto home and everyone
else went bed. " he folded his arms.
Goku sniffled, " Veggie was CRYING? "
" I WAS NOT! " Vegeta's face turned bright red. He whipped back to face Turles, " Don't tell him that! "
" Maybe you should give Vegeta-san that "nice long warm" comfort hug after all. He doesn't want to admit it but he
really needs one especially from YOU. " Turles said to his fellow type-3 saiyajin.
Goku thrust his arms out at Vegeta and wiggled his fingertips with anticipation, " :) "
" ▫Ulp▫. " Vegeta gulped.
" Unless of course you'd rather hear my plan. " he said casually.
A vein bulged on Vegeta's forehead, " Fine! Come here! " he dragged Turles into the hallway.
" I'll be waiting for you Veggie! " Goku called out to him, cheerful.
" Now, you were saying? " Vegeta groaned, exasperated.
" I've decided we should inact revenge upon Chi-Chi by barracading her into her own house with snow. " Turles nodded,
" I myself have a shovel I purchased recently at a nearby store. " he whipped out the red-handled silver shovel.
" You mean, trapping Onna in her own house over the holidays so that she not only misses Christmas but Kakarrotto and
I are free to enjoy said gift-giving holiday however we please; Onna-free? "
" Exactly. " Turles nodded.
" ...that actually sounds like a rather ingenius idea. " Vegeta smirked and rubbed his hands together.
" Why thank you. " Turles replied, " ..what holiday? "
Vegeta fell over, " WAH!? "

" Mmmm— hot cocoa is even better outside in the snow, Jitto! " Gogeta grinned as he took another sip.
" And all these pastries you bought at the store are freshly-baked! " Vejitto happily added.
" ▫FWOOSH▫! " a bright light exploded from beside them.
" AHHH! "
" AHHH! " the fusions covered their eyes as if avoiding a taiyo-ken.
" What was THAT?! " Gogeta gawked.
" I only know one thing that can cause THAT kind of bright light to appear out of nowhere. " Vejitto said, " And
that's the-- "
" --time machine? "
" GASP! " they gasped to see what looked like Vegeta and Goku sitting in the time machine that was now on the
front-yard of Capsule Corp. This Vegeta was wearing his saiyajin armor over his usual training uniform along with his royal
red cape, and Goku was wearing his saiyajin armor and a vaguely familiar hat on his head.
" Hey! It's Toussan and Mommy! " Vejitto chirped.
" Have you come from the future to warn us of oncoming danger? " Gogeta happily added.
" No actually. " Vegeta hopped out of the time machine and Goku followed him, " Infact we're not even FROM this
timeline. " he explained to them, then glanced over at Gogeta, " I'm surprised you didn't recognize us, son? "
Gogeta's eyes widened, " Toussan? "
" Eh? " Vejitto whipped his head in Gogeta's direction.
" TOUSSAN! " Gogeta gushed and glomped onto him, " How ARE you Toussan how have you been I haven't seen you and
Kaasan in such a long time--KAASAN! " he let go of Vegeta, sending the ouji into a dizzy spiral as zipped over and glomped
onto Goku instead, " I missed you TOO, Kaasan! "
Goku patted the dance fusion on the head, " Nanka po wa, Goggie-kun. " he smiled.
" ? " Vejitto cocked an eyebrow.
" Oh, did I tell you? Kakarrotto's learned saiyago and now that's practically almost all he speaks. " Vegeta
boasted.
" Veggie-sama's GREAT at teaching his native language! " Goku said in english.
" "Veggie-sama"? " Vejitto repeated, then sweatdropped, " Maybe I should call Mommy out here--this'd cheer him up
REAL fast. "
" Oh do that! " Vegeta grinned, " So many WONDERFUL things have happened to Kakarrotto and I since we returned to
our timeline that I would very much enjoy sharing it with you. "
" Um, oh-kay. " Vejitto headed back inside, then froze when he was a foot away from the door. It just hit him where
he recognized the hat Gogeta's Goku was wearing, ::It's the SERVANT-MAID hat!!:: " OhHHHhhhh... " he turned pale green and
shuddered.
" Jitto? You alright? " Gogeta called out to him, worried.
" Ah--I'm fine Goggie! Really! " Vejitto laughed, then went inside, " Oh BOY... "

" ...and then you unwrap the presents with your name on them. " Vegeta finished.
" Ahh... " Turles said, enlightened.
" ▫HUP▫! " a box of Christmas decorations was chucked before them.
" Well, there's one. " Bulma dusted her arms off as she stared into the closet in the hallway full of decorations.
" I still think you should give your work a break. You know you're working too hard when you forget CHRISTMAS. "
Vegeta said, " I mean, I can PARTIALLY understand forgetting my birthday a couple months ago, but Christmas? "
Bulma sighed as she opened the box she'd gotten out of the closet, " I know, I work too hard, I work too much, and I
don't spend as much time with you as I'd like to. "
" What's my favorite desert food? "
" Ah---OHHHH! " Bulma hung her head and groaned, " Chocolate-chip cookies? "
" That's me. " Goku sweatdropped, " Veggie's is strawberry ice-cream with lots and lots and lots of whipped cream on
top! " he said cheerfully.
" See! Even Goku spends more time with you than I do! "
" Kakarrotto doesn't have a job. It's only natural he'd have more free time than you. "
" I spend MY free time with Veggie! " Goku grinned.
Turles rubbed his snow-shovel. Vegeta glanced over at him for a second, then back at Goku, " Kakarrotto do you happen
to have a snow-shovel I could borrow? "
Goku whipped out a 12 foot tall one, " Will this do, Veggie? "
Vegeta's eyes widened at the sheer size of it, " Perfect. " he smirked and rubbed his hands together.
" Hm.. " Goku looked down at the box and decided to help Bulma unpack it. He took out a small container of Christmas
tree ornaments, then gasped at the item he pulled out next, " MISTLETOE! "
" !? " Vegeta froze in place, his face went a stark white and the entire surrounding area darkened with clouds of
doom hanging over his head.
" ... " Turles looked back and forth between the object Goku was holding and Vegeta's reaction. He grinned, " I think
I'm gonna like THIS holiday. " he walked up to Goku, " Say Kakarrotto, what's that you're holding which is causing such a
severe reaction of fear to strike Vegeta-san's heart? "
" Oh, this is mistletoe! " Goku smiled contently, " When you get caught underneath it with someone, you're supposed
to kiss 'um. But--but I'm not allowed to kiss cuz its against rule #3 so I give platonic smooches instead. "
" Really? There's a difference? "
" Uh-huh. " Goku nodded.
" You know, Kakarrotto, I'm not sure I could tell the difference between a kiss and platonic smooch. " he picked up
the still-frozen-in-place Vegeta and plunked the little ouji before him, " How about you use Vegeta-san to show me? "
" YEAH! " Goku gushed.
" NO!! " Vegeta shouted suddenly, gaining his wits back.
" But I can't show you a kiss cuz its I'm not allowed to. " Goku shook his head.
Vegeta let out a sigh of relief, " Thank God--- "
" ▫Smooch▫! " something wet and warm plunked itself against the ouji's cheek.
" ... " Vegeta's entire body turned bright red. His eyes rolled back in his sockets and he hit the floor unconsious,
" ▫THUMP▫! "
Turles and Goku stared down at the ouji on the floor.
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
" I REALLY like Christmas! " Turles grinned wickedly.
" I feel tingly. " Goku's cheeks flushed, " It has been a long long while since I got to do that. "
" Try it again. "
" Maybe I should wait til Veggie wakes up. "
" Aw its oh-kay, do it now. I think he likes it anyway. " Turles smirked.
" Don't ENCOURAGE him! Mistletoe scares Vegeta! " Raditsu exclaimed while in the middle of eating some of the giant
chocolate cake, " Indirectly of course--but still! "
Goku picked the little ouji up off the ground, " Maybe I smooched Veggie too hard? " he wondered, confused.
" He'll be fine. " Bulma sprayed the ouji's cheek with peasant-repel.
" I still don't see why you use that stuff on him. It's purely natural back on Bejito-sei for germs to get swapped
back and forth while in physical contact with another saiyajin. " Turles shrugged.
" You haven't seen the possible-future yet, have you? " Bulma said.
" No...why? "
" Toussan! Mommy! " Vejitto dashed into the room and screeched to a halt. Goku was standing there holding a now
semi-consious Vegeta in his arms while Bulma watched cautiously over the little ouji and Turles smirked. Vejitto let out
a mental sigh of relief, ::It feels so much better with Toussan as Toussan and Mommy as Mommy.:: he nodded.
" Huh? " Vegeta's eyes opened almost all the way this time, " Wha happened? "
" Veggie fainted but he's oh-kay now. " Goku said.
Vegeta froze and looked up to see the larger saiyajin smiling cheerfully at him, then looked down to see Goku was
also holding the smaller saiyajin in his arms, " ...what am I doing up here? " he asked, nervous.
" Veggie fainted so I picked him up and put him on the couch to rest! " Goku chirped.
" Son-kun, you never set him down..you're still holding him. " Bulma said, uneasy.
" Oh! " Goku said, " Well that's good too! "
" You're not going to let me down right away, are you, Kakarrotto? "
" Maybe! " Goku happily exclaimed.
" ... " Vegeta's face was turning red again.
" Hey Mommy! Goggie and I found something outside that we think will cheer you up--if only momentarily! " Vejitto
spoke up.
" Really? " Vegeta said, intrigued. He tried to hop out of Goku's arms, to no avail. Vegeta sighed, " Kakarrotto?
Could you PLEASE set me down? "
" Oh-kay Veggie! " Goku smiled warmly and plopped Vegeta back down on his feet.
" You might wanna put a coat on Mommy, its really cold out-- " Vejitto turned, then paused to see Gogeta and his
parents setting up what looked like a slide-show projector in the middle of the living room, " --nevermind! " he grinned,
" Mommy, Toussan, meet Goggie's Mommy and Toussan who you all met momentarily 2 years a-go! "
Vegeta stared at the other him in the room along with the other Goku. He smirked fondly, the fact that they were in
saiyajin armor instead of gi's suggested he was the platonic-seme in Gogeta's timeline, " So? What are you doing? " he asked
Gogeta's Vegeta.
" Setting up for the slide-show. " Vegeta G replied, then smirked, " There are certain aspects of my life within the
past two years that I feel can only correctly be conveyed through slide-show form. "
" It's that good, huh? " Vegeta said, surprised.
" Mmm! " he smiled, " Now if you'll all come over here and sit down, Kakarrotto and I will begin. "
Vegeta noticed Goku G, in addition to his saiyajin armor, had the servant-maid hat plopped upon his head, " Ahh, now
there's something I haven't seen in a while that reminds me of how my platonic semeness used to go unquestioned. " he
sighed in happy nostalgia.
Goku G smiled back at him, then glanced over at Goku who stared at the hat in utmost horror.
" It burns! It burns like hot white fire! " he exclaimed in fright, covered his eyes, and looked away.
" It is not that bad. " Goku G sweatdropped.
" What is that on your head? " Turles asked him.
" Who are you? " Goku G tilted his head.
" ... " Vegeta blinked, then turned to his counterpart, " I want your timeline and I haven't even seen the slideshow
yet. " he said sincerely.
" Gotta love the coming attractions. " Vegeta G grinned, then reached to shut the lights off, " Wait, who ARE you? "
he asked the other type-3 saiyajin in the room.
" My name is Turles--the EVIL type-3 saiyajin. A pleasure to meet you, alternate timeline Vegeta-san. " he shook his
hand.
" Huh. " Vegeta G looked at his hand, then shut the lights off, " That's strange. I've never met YOU before. "
" Now I really REALLY want your timeline. " Vegeta murmured, plopping onto the floor. Goku, who still hand his hands
over his eyes, plopped down beside him.
" First of all, I'd like to say hello to everyone, since Kakarrotto and I haven't seen most of you in over 2 years. "
" WHY IS HE WEARING THAT HAT! " Goku shakily pointed past Vegeta to Goku G, who was sitting on the other side of the
ouji, " If anything he should be wearing a pla-tonic oujo crown! "
" Oujo? " Goku G looked over at him, " What is an oujo? "
Vegeta turned to the larger saiyajin and promptly glomped him.
" OH! " Goku G's face turned bright pink, " Veggie-sama?! " he gasped.
" SAMA?! " Vegeta beamed with pride at the add-on title. He let go of Goku G, " REALLY? "SAMA"? " the ouji
practically gushed with excitement.
" I'm starting to not feel so bad about Vegeta and his "baby" anymore. " Bulma sweatdropped.
" WOW..."Veggie-SAMA".. " Vegeta said in awe.
" ▫Ahem▫. " Vegeta G coughed loudly, " Now, let's begin, shall we? " he held out a remote hit the red button. The
projector clicked to the first slide, which was on overhead view of Capsule Corp, " Not long after Kakarrotto and I
returned to our original timeline, Onna showed up. "
" ▫Click▫ " a shot of a drawing of an evil-looking Chi-Chi with glowing red eyes. The artwork was obviously Goku's
and Goku himself was jarred slightly by the picture.
" Onna of course was enraged that Kakarrotto prefered to live with me as my servant-maid. It was then that Kakarrotto
got upset at her over her attempted murder of Gogeta, Kakarrotto, and I while we were fused together earlier. He demanded a
seperation. "
" ▫Click▫ " a second drawing--this one of Goku pointing out the front door while Chi-Chi stood there with a doom
cloud over her head and Vegeta next to Goku with his arms pumped in the air in a "woot"-like fashion.
" Heh-heh. " Vegeta chuckled.
" But I would never do that to Chi-chan. " Goku pouted.
" Things went along fairly well. One day while Kakarrotto and I were having lunch, Dende and Piccolo showed up
with Vejitto and explained that he had been created from our portara fusion, then asked if he could live at Capsule Corp
with us. We agreed that he could. "
" ▫Click▫ " a picture of the three saiyajin standing there smiling.
" More time passed, and as it did, Onna began to grow testy and upset that Kakarrotto hadn't returned home and taken
up a permanent residence in my room--platonically of course. "
" Of course. " the main timeline Vegeta agreed.
" Then one day, of which neither of us could be sure. Onna SNAPPED. " Vegeta G smirked, " That day in the middle of
my platonically-given massage session, she burst into the room wielding a CHAINSAW! "
" ▫Click▫ " a drawing of Vegeta laying on a bench, Goku standing beside him, and Chi-Chi holding a ridiculously
large chainsaw over her head.
" EEP! " Gogeta yelped.
" Vejitto was able to disarm her while I called the West City Sanitarium. The men in white coats came for Onna and
took her away to an asylum room--complete with padded walls! "
" ▫Click▫ " a drawing of an upset Chi-Chi sitting in a room wearing a straightjacket and looking annoyed.
" Which is where she remains to this day. " he nodded, " Meanwhile, Kakay and I have been living happily and
platonically ever after! "
" That we have! " Goku G added.
" ▫Click▫ " a picture of Goku, Vegeta, and Vejitto smiling again.
Turles stared at Goku's servant-maid outfit in the picture and snickered, " Huh, wow Vegeta-san, that outfit must
not leave much to your imagination, huh? "
" Hn. " a blushline appeared over Vegeta's nose.
" So where did you buy it? "
" I made it. "
Goku G flicked the lights on, revealing the group's reactions to their mini-film.
Vegeta looked impressed, Turles still taking in that Vegeta had created the uniform, Bulma shaking her head,
Gogeta smiling contently, and Goku and Vejitto with pale looks on their faces.
" And I could've had all that and more if only I had given into Kakarrotto's little kaka-giggle song and performed
the fusion dance with him inside Buu? " Vegeta murmured in shock.
" Something like that! " Vegeta G nodded in thoughtful reflection.
Vegeta slapped himself on the forehead, " Ohhh! "
" It's not like you could've known ahead of time, Vegeta. " Bulma told him.
" I WOULD like to live with Veggie... " Goku started out, smiling, " But not if I have to be Veggie's servant-maid
and wear that creepy outfit. "
" I don't wear it all the time. " Goku G looked over at him, " Most of the time I wear this! " he pointed to his
saiyajin armor, " And sometimes my gi and sometimes that outfit. "
" Oh.. " Goku tilted his head.
" I'd gotten so distracted with Kakarrotto's "Oujo" issue and then this recent attempted murder of my unquestioned
platonic semeness by Turles, Brolli, Onna, and random others that I'd nearly forgotten the entire "servant-maid" ordeal. "
Vegeta folded his arms.
Goku paled.
" Of course I'm completely over that-- "
Goku perked up and wagged his tail excitedly.
" --but congradulations for pulling it off! " he patted Vegeta G on the shoulder.
Goku sweatdropped.
" So, why did you suddenly de-cide to come back here? " Vejitto asked the alternate Goku and Vegeta.
" Actually, you--our timeline's you--overheard us talking about Gogeta one day and was shocked to learn he had a
brother. So we decided to come here and ask if Gogeta wanted to come back home with us. " Vegeta G explained.
" Home? " Gogeta said, surprised.
" Sure. It's much safer there now; and with Onna crazy and locked away, no one can hurt you. " he nodded.
" Is Chi-chan still around in this timeline? " Goku G asked.
" Oh yes, Onna's been around. " Vegeta said, glancing about. He patted his large shovel, " However I don't think
she'll be joining us this Christmas. Apparently she has other plans in mind. "
" Heh-heh-heh. " Turles snickered.
" ? " Goku looked over at them, confused, " What do you mean? Chi-chan said she was going to go Christmas shopping
and didn't say anything to me a-bout not coming to the party. "
" Don't worry Kakarrotto, we won't PHYSICALLY harm Onna, just the house! " Vegeta grinned excitedly. He turned to
his and Goku's counterparts, " Care to help me in a small act of revenge? "
" Upon Onna? Of course! " Vegeta G smirked, " I'd be delighted! "
" Great! " Vegeta clasped his hands together, " Now you'll each need a snow shovel... "

" They've been in there for two HOURS now? What could two Vegetas possibly need to talk about for so long? " Bulma
gawked as she and the others, sans Turles who had mysteriously disappeared, sat around in the living room.
Goku glanced over at his counterpart, uneasy, " Umm, do you think you could take that hat off? It kinda makes me
queasy inside. " he pointed to his stomach.
" Queasy? " Goku G tilted his head.
The first Goku nodded quickly.
" Uh, oh-kay. " he did so and sat the hat down on his lap instead.
Vejitto glanced over at Gogeta, " You're not, really gonna go, are ya Goggie? "
" I dunno. " Gogeta shrugged, " It's not like it is something that you can de-cide right a-way. "
" Hm. Indeed. " Vejitto folded his arms, deep in thought, ::Goggie wouldn't really leave, right? If Goggie was gone
and I was the only fusion around everything would be so BORING! I wonder how the other me can take it? I know! I bet if I
can keep Goggie entertained enough he'll be way too content living here to want to go back to his orignal home! Besides,
going back there would mean he'd be in a timeline where a psychotic Chi-Chi could possibly get on the loose and try to chop
poor Goggie to pieces! And that would be terrible and heartwrenching:: " Hmm! " he nodded, " Say Goggie wanna go outside
and build the biggest snow-fusions EVER? "
" Hai! " Gogeta grinned, " We could use spare-tires for eyes and use Bulma's enlarging machine to make huge carrots
and use some of the spare boulders in Dr. Brief's animal center for coal! " he happily rattled off, taking his sweater out
of the closet and exchanging it for his vest before he followed Vejitto outside. The snow was piling up heavily now.
" Be careful you guys, it's supposed to snow harder this evening. " Bulma called out to them.
" Don't worry Bulma! Jitto 'n I'll be fine! " Gogeta gave her an oh-kay sign, then pouted, " I just wish it wouldn't
get dark out so early. "
" Hai, 5pm is not bedtime at all. " Vejitto shook his head. He whipped out two carrots and a hoi poi capsule
containing the enlarging machine, " Let's go Goggie! "

" So, Christmas Eve then? " Vegeta G said as he and Vegeta sat on the edge of the ouji's bed with several charts
and papers plotting their scheme out.
" Yes. It seems to be the best time to strike. That way it'll give Onna less of a leeway to escape intime for the
actual holiday. " Vegeta nodded. He stood up on his bed and made a fist, " While there is no way to take complete vengence
upon Onna for what she has done to me, causing her to miss out on a holiday that originates to the topic of babies is enough
to at least pacify my need for revenge against her. " he exclaimed overdramatically while a spotlight shone upon him.
" What did she do to you? " Vegeta G asked, " And what does it have to do with babies? "
" Ah-- " Vegeta froze in place, " I can't..tell you that. It was too bizarre a situation to begin with and I really
don't feel like talking about it. "
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
" ...is that a baby-carrier infront of your closet door? "
" NO! No...its a, snack-holder. Yes. A snack-holder. " he flipped it around to reveal it had three oranges and a
dozen wrapped candies along with a bag of cheese-doodles sitting in it. Vegeta took one of the oranges out and took a bite,
" Mmm, deli..de... " the ouji stared at the carrier and felt his chest knot up again. He whipped out his peasant-repel and
sprayed himself with it, instantly regaining his calm, " Delicious! " he piped up. Vegeta suddenly realized something,
" Hey, if you've been living with Kakarrotto for over two years now...why haven't you fallen victim to the kaka-germs?
You seem even more calm and composed than I do? "
" Oh, that. " Vegeta G smirked and whipped out his own bottle, who's liquid was purple as opposed to the orange
one Vegeta had in his hand, " That's because I happen to use SUPER-MEGA-INDUSRTRIAL-STRENGTH PEASANT-REPEL! " he grinned
boastfully, then slyly added, " For the Ouji who shares his bedroom with the peasantry. "
" ... " Vegeta stared at it, his eyes wide and sparkling, " Can I try that. " he said bluntly, pointing to it.
" No way! It's too strong for you. " Vegeta G sweatdropped.
" STRONG?! " the ouji gawked, " Who are you to tell me that I can't handle your super-mega-powerful-whatever! "
Vegeta said, insulted.
" I don't mean it that way. " he sweatdropped, " I mean....you know how when you get a headache, that there are
different levels of pain associated with said headache--that it varies from incident to incident? "
" Hai? " Vegeta folded his arms, listening.
" Well, for your "headache" you would take a single ibuprofen where I would need three. "
" So...it's just a stonger dose of peasant-repel? "
" Exactly. " Vegeta G smirked, " One spray is enough to keep all kaka-germs off and away from me for up to a week.
They can't stand the scent and either run away back onto Kakarotto, fall asleep once they reach my body and in their
unconsious state are unable to cause harm, or--in some rare cases--explode on contact. "
Vegeta cocked an eyebrow, disturbed at that last part, " You know I've never seen a kaka-germ EXPLODE before. "
" You're lucky. It's not a pretty sight. " Vegeta G grimaced, " Anyway, you're too used to having a current number
of kaka-germs on your body. If I sprayed you and they left for several days or so you'd end up going into germ withdrawal,
an embarassing state in which your body desperately and passionately desires the warm, fuzzy feeling given off by the
kaka-germs to the point where you cling to your peasant's body and think up excuses to be held by him in order to strive
off the cravings. " his cheeks flushed red with embarassment.
" Oh GOD... " Vegeta flushed as well, " Wait, how do you know this? "
" I was Bulma's "guinia pig" while she experimented and tested the product for use. " he said casually.
" Ahhh.. " the ouji nodded.
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
" So? Shall we introduce ourselves to Onna before we implement the plan or do it without her knowledge. "
" As much as I'd like to meet her--seeing as its been over a year since my timeline's Onna has been taken away to
the mental hospital--I'd say the aspect of surprise would make it more entertaining. " Vegeta G nodded, " As long as we
get the 2nd kaka-spawn out of the house before we do so. "
" Goten--AAGH!? I forgot about him! " Vegeta slapped himself on the forehead, " How am I--we--are we going to get
him out of his own house on Christmas Eve when he goes to sleep early to begin with! "
" We could have Trunks call him up and ask if he could come sleepover here at Capsule Corp for Christmas Eve. And
Kakarrotto could simply teleport outside in the the middle of the night. " Vegeta G said.
" Hai...I can see that. " Vegeta rubbed his hands together, " You know, its not so bad having another me to talk to;
though the visual itself is kind of odd. "
" No problem. " Vegeta G shrugged, getting up off the bed.
" Say. One more question. " Vegeta asked.
" Yes? "
" Your Kakarrotto...does he, like being your servant-maid? "
" Hahahaha! " Vegeta G laughed, " I don't make Kakarrotto do any actual servant-maid chores, he just gets the title
and walks around in the uniform from time to time....and we give each other occational platonic-massages, but that's about
it. "
" It is a rather nice uniform... " Vegeta trailed off, smirking.
" That it is. " Vegeta G agreed without hesitation.
They both turned bright red.
" In a platonic manner of course! "
" Hai! Completey platonic. Purely platonic! "
" Not a single non-platonic kaka-related thought passed through either of our minds just now. "
" That is absolutely correct! "

" Jingle bells, jingle bells, hmmhmm all the way... " Chi-Chi hummed as she walked down the street towards Capsule
Corp while Goten happily jogged beside her. She had a large red wagon behind her carrying bags and boxes full of presents
she would soon wrap for and with her family members. She vaguely sensed Goku's ki at the building, which was why she was
heading there instead of going straight home--not to mention that it was starting to snow harder and Kinto'un wasn't big
enough to carry Chi-Chi, the wagon, and her presents. And she didn't want to have Goten strain himself by carrying
everything.
She was also worried about Goku. Her little "prank" had gotten blown way out of hand and scarred Vegeta far worse
than she had originally intended. The intent was to scare all non-platonic-thought related to Goku out of the ouji's mind,
not send him into a sobbing grief over the loss of a nonexistant baby. Chi-Chi groaned, unable to think of a way out of it.
She had almost bought Vegeta a present but decided against it. That Ouji had a far mushier center than Chi-Chi had
previously thought. "Apologizing" was simply out of the question. There was no way in this lifetime, timeline, or even
existance that SHE was going to apologize to the crazy, evil little Ouji who was probably plotting ot steal Goku away from
her for good at this very moment. Chi-Chi made a fist with her left hand while the right continued to drag the wagon along.
" Haha! I bet Trunks'll be really surprised to see me in the middle of the day like this! " Goten grinned as he
followed Chi-Chi along.
They turned down the corner and Chi-Chi got halfway up to the door when she froze in place. Beside her stood a boot.
A Vegeta-like boot. One that was at least 100 times bigger than the original. Chi-Chi turned her gaze upward and gasped to
see a huge snow-Vejitto and snow-Gogeta looming over her.
" HI Onna! " the huge snow-Gogeta chirped.
" How ya doing? " the equally-huge snow-Vejitto waved to her.
" o.O " Chi-Chi's bottom left eyelid twitched and she promptly fell backwards and into the snow, " ▫BOOF▫! "
The actual Vejitto and Gogeta each poked out of the top of their snow-selves, confused. They looked at each other and
happily shrugged, then pulled their upper-bodies back inside.
" Come Goggie! Let's go for a walk! " Vejitto said cheerfully, snow-Vejitto casually heading down into the street.
" The weather is nice and brisk, Jitto! " Gogeta grinned.
Goten watched the huge snow-fusions wander off, " WOW....I want a giant snow-me too. " he gushed.

" Hahaha, this is gonna be the greatest igloo ever, Trunks! "
" Hey Goten could you hand me that block over there? "
" Wha-huh? " Chi-Chi's eyes flickered open. She sweatdropped to see there was now a thin layer of snow ontop of her,
" ACK!? " she bounced to her feet and brushed herself off, " What happened? "
" Kaasan! Come look at our igloo! " Goten said happily.
Chi-Chi turned to see Trunks and Goten working on a half-built igloo, " Wow, that's pretty good, Goten. "
" Hee— " the chibi grinned.
" I wonder if we should make a door or not. " Trunks put his hand on his chin.
" ........WAH! THE GIANT SNOW-DEMI-OUJIS! " Chi-Chi said suddenly, turning to where they had stood only to see a
large mound of untouched snow as though nothing had been there previous to the beginning of the storm, " What--then where
did they--? "
" --hey look Goggie! Chi-Chi woke up! "
She whipped around. Vejitto and Gogeta were on the roof of Capsule Corp putting up multicolored Christmas lights.
" Hi Onna! Haha, for a little while we weren't sure WHEN you were going to wake up. " Gogeta laughed, finishing the
lights on one of the floors and hopping down a floor to start the next one.
" But--wait where did your humongous snow-creations go! " she pointed at the spot on the lawn, confused and upset.
" ...our what? " Vejitto looked at her oddly.
" You know! Those huge snowmen of yourselves! The ones that talked! "
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
" You're not going to tell me and lead me into believing I'm going crazy, aren't you. " Chi-Chi said flatly.
" :) " ▫
" :) " ▫
She sighed tiredly, " That's what I thought. "
" Hup! " Vejitto hopped down another floor.
" I'm going inside. " Chi-Chi grabbed her wagon and trudged forward.
" Better brace yourself! " Vejitto said in a sing-song voice, warning her.
" For what? "
" Several things. " Gogeta grinned in an almost Veggie-like manner.
" Hahaha. " Vejitto laughed at him.
" Hn. " she twitched, then ignored them and opened the door only to walk right into a large plastic lawn-balloon
which bounced her almost back out of the house, " WAHHH! " Chi-Chi nearly fell backwards but regained her balance, " What
the--?! "
" ▫Squeeeeeee▫ " the balloon squealed as air was released.
" Hi Chi-chan! " Goku's head poked out from behind the balloon he was hugging to release the air.
" Goku-san--what in the-- " it was then Chi-Chi noticed exactly what the balloon was of; a plushie-like Vegeta
wearing a santa-suit, though sans hat due to the way the ouji's hair was shaped, and holding a candy cane.
" Isn't it cute! I'm helping Bulma decorate for Christmas by blowing up this Veggie-balloon and putting it outside
on the front lawn! " Goku gushed, " Oh! And he lights up! Watch! " he dashed over to the wall and flicked a switch.
Instantly the insides of the Vegeta-balloon lit up, " Awww.. " Goku clasped his hands together.
" ... " Chi-Chi stood there with her jaw hanging open, " Well, I've officially seen everything. " she muttered in
disbelief, " Where did Bulma BUY that? "
" At the outer-space theme-park. " Goku said, " Remember? The one with all the Veggie-related merchandise that was
built early last year when everyone found out that Veggie was a space alien and we got captured and studied on and had to
escape? " he rattled off, " That park! "
" Oh. " Chi-Chi said, then got an sickening thought, " You ARE using an air-pump to blow that thing up, right? "
" Huh? "
" I mean, you're not doing doing it by..ah...cpr, hai Goku-san? "
" Hahaha! Silly Chi-chan of COURSE I have an air-pump! " Goku held it up, " The Veggie-balloon is too big for me to
blow up with my mouth without getting winded. Infact he's too big to finish being blown up in here so I think I'll be
taking him outside. " he threw the balloon over his shoulder while carrying the air-pump whose hose was connected to the
back of the balloon.
" Alright. Well, when you're done there I need you to teleport me home. " she said, trying to warm up. Chi-Chi
smirked, " I had a rather successful shopping day; meaning I have a lot of things to wrap. "
" If you wanna stay here at Veggie's I could help wrap. " Goku nodded.
" Well that's very nice of you Goku-san. " Chi-Chi nodded, " Wait, where's the Ouji? "
" Veggie? " Goku plopped the balloon down outside and set everything back up, " Oh he's still talkin' to himself. "
" Talking to-- " Chi-Chi scratched her head, then glanced over to notice a second Goku--this one in saiyajin armor--
happily walking past, " Goku-san? "
" !!! " the second Goku froze in terror at her voice. He turned ever so slightly to see her, then let out a shriek
and burst into a messy run, clumsily dashing up the stairs, flinging the door to Vegeta's room open and locking himself
inside before he let out a scream.
" ... " Chi-Chi stood there silently.
" Oh what fun, it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, HEY! " Goku sang as he pumped up the balloon in-time with
the beat, " Dashing through the snow, on a one-horse open sleigh, over the hills we go, laughing all the way-- "
" --GOKU-SAN!! "
Goku faltered and accidently pressed down to hard on the pump, causing the Vegeta balloon to expand to twice its
original size. Goku sweatdropped at it, " Oops. " he set the pump down and went back inside, " Chi-chan? "
" Goku-san why is there another you in this house? "
" Another me? Haha! Chi-chan I do not know what you are talking about! " Goku grinned, ::Besides, Veggie said to
keep Goggie's parents a surprise til Christmas and that's what I shall do!:: he nodded determindly.
" ...oh. " she said after a long pause.
Goku pulled his head back outside and gasped to see the balloon and pump no longer there, " GASP! Veggie-balloon?
Where ARE-- " Goku looked up in the sky. The now over-blown balloon was hovering over Capsule Corp like a small plane,
" --you. Hahaha! Aw Veggie balloon you're so silly! " he flew up to it, " Gotta let some more air out again, huh! "
Chi-Chi sat down on the living room couch, feeling terribly uneasy.
" Aw, there there Onna. "
She turned to face Vegeta, who was now seated beside her.
" The holidays...they're such a stressful time of year you know. " he smirked.
" Terribly stressful. "
Chi-Chi turned in the other direction to see Vegeta suddenly on the other side of her now, " ACK!? "
" How ya doin, Onna? " Vegeta G. waved to her, " Long time no see, eh? "
" Well, you seem back to your usual cheerful self. " she muttered.
" For the most part, yes. " Vegeta's voice came from behind her this time. She whipped around to see him there,
" However, what you've committed against me was quite an atrocity. " he frowned.
" ATROCITY?! It was a PRANK! " she gawked.
" It's not a "prank" once emotional attachment comes into play. " Vegeta folded his arms.
" So...if you became attached to even the mere idea of it...does that mean you're oh-kay with ukedom now? " Chi-Chi
blinked.
" WAAAH! NO NO NO NO NO! I am NOT oh-kay with being trapped in an uke-ish position in accordance with Kakarrotto! "
the ouji yelped, horrified.
" What uke position? " Vegeta G. looked freaked out as he hovered upside-down 7 feet in the air behind Chi-Chi.
" Thatsnotimportant! " Vegeta spat, breaking into a cold sweat.
" !? " Chi-Chi jumped back to where she was far enough away to see the two Vegetas, " Ah-- "
" Yes? " they said in unison, turning to her.
Chi-Chi felt woozy for the second time in the same day, " --ahh...TWO?! "
" Two, "what", Onna? " the oujis smirked.
" Ouhhhhh--▫THUMP▫! "
" Two rounds of unconsiousness in one chapter. " Vegeta G. snickered.
" We should do this more often. " Vegeta added.
" Hey Veggies I got the balloon up! " Goku happily called from the doorway, then paused to see Vegeta G. had taken
off his saiyajin armor; beneath it he was wearing an outfit identical to the regular Vegeta, " Uh-oh. " he glanced between
them. Goku walked up to Vegeta G. and sniffed him, then over to the next Vegeta and sniffed him. Goku broke into a grin,
" My VEGGIE! " he glomped the second ouji tightly.
" Eep! " Vegeta's face turned bright red.
" You can tell which of us is which simply by SMELLING us? " Vegeta G. gawked.
" Sure! " Goku grinned, " You have my smell all over you while my Veggie--who I haven't been around for a whole
week, has it in a far lower a-mount. "
" All OVER me?! " the ouji gulped.
" ▫Squeak▫! " the one in Goku's arms made a squishy sound.
" Awww! " Goku happily plopped Vegeta down onto the couch and turned to see Chi-Chi lying unconsious on the floor,
" AHH! CHI-CHAN!? " he dashed over to her, " Veggies what happened to Chi-chan? " the large saiyajin asked, worried.
" Onna? " Vegeta G said, surprised.
" Waaahhh—— " Vegeta lay there on the couch, dizzy. The other ouji grabbed Vegeta's peasant-repel and sprayed him
with it, " Sleeping! Yes. She's sleeping. " he announced, regaining most of his wits around him, " Thank you by the way. " he
nodded to his counterpart.
" Don't mention it. " Vegeta G. smirked.
" You see Kakarrotto, Onna was so over-tired and completely physically exhausted that she simply collapsed upon
entering the house. " Vegeta "explained".
" Poor Chi-chan. " Goku said, hurt, " Maybe I should've gone with her instead of snuck out to see my Veggie. "
" Well, no harm done. " Vegeta G. shrugged and partially picked Chi-Chi up, " We can just leave her on the sofa for
now. She should wake up soon. "
" Good idea, Veggie! " Goku picked Chi-Chi's upper-body up and together they placed her onto the sofa, " There! "
" Toussan! Mommy! Come outside! " Vejitto shouted.
Goku picked up the Vegetas with one under each arm and happily dashed back outside. Both oujis turned bright red and
began to glow while Goku stood there in the snow and stared up at another brightly glowing object; the house, " WOW! "
Gogeta and Vejitto stood before Capsule Corp, which was now outlined with multicolored lights. The huge CC logo on
the roof had the outer C in green lights and the inner in red.
" So? " Gogeta grinned, " What do you think? "

END OF PART 1!
Chuquita: HOORAY! A chapter finished before Christmas! (to audiance) I had so much stuff I wanted to put in this chapter, but I'm avoiding writing humongo-chapters so that stuff'll all be in part 2.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) How come the me in Gogeta's timeline got so lucky?
Chuquita: That's half due to how that timeline turned out and half due to me feeling sorry for you.
Vegeta: So you let me be that timeline's platonic-seme out of pity?
Chuquita: (cheesy grin) Sorta.
Vegeta: ...you know, I'm half oh-kay with that--if only for the situation.
Chuquita: (to audiance) There was no "oujo" thing in the Goggie timeline because Goku moved in with Veggie before the whole "Chi-Chi time-travels to the future to see who wins the kaka-war" even had a chance of happening. What happened in that timeline to the other saiyajin; Raditsu, Turles, and Brolli; will be revealed in part 2 or 3.
Vegeta: Seems like this could be an average-chaptered fic.
Chuquita: I'm hoping for four. (nods contently)
Goku: (grins) I like that there's two Veggies! The more Veggies the merrier!
Vegeta: ?
Goku: At least for a while...then I'd start to get confused between 'um. (nods)
Vegeta: Ahh.
Chuquita: (to audiance) Well, if we don't see you again before the end of the week, Happy Holidays and see you next week! :)
Goku: Winter break is FUN, Veggie!
Vegeta: (whips out hot-cocoa and takes a sip) Ah, indeed it is, Kakarrotto.
