Quote of the Week-from Budoukai 3
Veggie: Hahaha! I'm going to enjoy taking my time with you, Kakarrot.
Goku: We'll see about that. I might just have a few surprises in store for you.

Chuey's Corner:
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Surprises, huh?
Goku: Hee- (whips out gift) For you, Veggie!
Vegeta: (unwraps gift to reveal its a box full of messily-made fish-shaped chocolates) Um, how thoughful?
Goku: (smiles) I made them myself!
Vegeta: (surprised) Made them?
Chuquita: Welcome to Part 4 everybody! Part 4 is usually the final chapter of the majority of my fics, but not this time.
There's way too much more to go in this story to simply cram it into one chapter.
Vegeta: (while still staring at Goku's gift to him) Which means?
Chuquita: This fic may run about 6 or so chapters.
Vegeta: Ah.
Chuquita: I'd rather not estimate though cuz I really can't tell how much of the story will fit into two more chapters.
(perks up) ALSO! This monday is "Veggietine's Day!"
Vegeta: So THAT'S the reason for the homemade kaka-treats. (holds a chocolate up)
Goku: (happily) Veggietine's Day is one of my favorite days of the year, Veggie!
Brolli: (confused) "Veggietine"?
Chuquita: For the past three years around this time we were somewhere in the middle of or beginning of one of the
"Veggietine's Day" specials. However, Veggietine's Day's coming a little later this year.
Vegeta: Due to both story and non-story related reasons.
Chuquita: (nods) Mmm-hmm!
Goku: (grins) (to audiance) And that's why we'd like to wish you all a Happy Veggietine's Day!
Brolli: What's Veggietine's Day!
Vegeta: I refuse to allow you access to that information for fear of what you do with it.
Brolli: (sweatdrops)
Chuquita: And now onto Part 4!

Summary: Oh Veggie, where are you? One night Vegeta mysteriously disappears, and Goku senses something is terribly wrong. While its thought that the ouji has may have gone out into space to purchase a Veggietine's Day gift for his favorite peasant, several of the group begin to have doubts, especially when they're unable to contact Vegeta at all. There's
something disturbing about the ouji vanishing, and when Turles discovers Vegeta's been kidnapped; everyone fears for the
worst. Who would possibly be powerful enough to kidnap someone as strong as Vegeta? And how will they find him even when his ki itself is undetectable by Kaio-sama? To what lengths would Goku go to get his Veggie back, and is he capable of breaking the rules to do so?

Goku: Go on Veggie, try one!
Vegeta: I'm not so sure... (sniffs the chocolate)
Goku: B-buh Veh-gee I worked so hard to make them.
Vegeta: (flushes red) A-alright. (takes a bite out of one, freezes in place) !
Goku: (curious) (beams) Well?
Vegeta: (has just realized Goku used no mold to make this piece of chocolate but instead simply dipped a small fish into liquid chocolate and let it freeze overnight) ... (cheeks turn slightly green) (managed to swallow) (smiles back at Goku) Ah, delicious, Kakarrotto.
Goku: YAY! (glomps Veggie) I am so happy you like my snacks, Veggie!
Vegeta: (laughs nervously) Ah hahaha..

" ▫SIGH▫ " Goku sighed sadly as he bit into the cookie. Pre-packaged chocolate chip cookies were a far cry from the
warm delicious gooey chocolate-chips that Veggie baked. Plushie sat across from him; propped up against the wall so the
gravity wouldn't pull him completely onto the floor. Goku's tail swung sadly behind him as he sat on the floor with his
lunch infront of him. Goku felt a ki nearby and glanced over to see Chi-Chi staring worriedly at him through the little
window in the door. He smiled at her to show he was oh-kay and she uneasily stepped back and let him have his privacy. As
soon as Chi-Chi disappeared from view his smile dropped back into a frown again.
Life without Veggie was tremendously painful.
A simultaneous ache occured in Goku's chest and left ear.
Goku closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the gravity room air, trying to drift off into a place where Veggie
was with him and they were both safe and enjoying the delicious snacks the little ouji had freshly prepared for them as they
ate on a grassy field upon Bejito-sei...

" Give. Me. The. Knife. Brolli! " Vegeta grunted as they tugged-a-war of one of the cooking instruments.
" NO. Vejita! " Brolli suddenly yanked it back, causing the ouji to fall forward onto the ground.
" OOF! "
Brolli put the cover over the knife and placed it back with the others in its case, " It's too big for you, Vejita,
you could get hurt. " he said, concerned.
The ouji sat up, annoyed, " If you're not going to let me train at least let me cook something! You're a saiyajin!
Don't you have any idea how much excess energy I have to burn if I'm not allowed to perform my daily energy-burning tasks? "
" There's other ways for you to release your excess, Vejita. " the densetsu smiled and took out a frying pan,
" Ways that aren't as dangerous and include a fairly large amount of pleasure. "
" Training and cooking include a fairly large amount of pleasure for me. " Vegeta muttered frustratingly under his
breath.
" You only say that Vejita because that is all you know. " Brolli nodded, " You need a little more variety in your
life. "
" Oh yeah, this is variety alright. " the ouji rolled his eyes and tugged at his current outfit, a faint, oujo-esque
pink robe. He had refused to wear anymore of the clothes Brolli had given him so he had put his boxer shorts back on and
wore the robe over it to both keep warm and feel safer knowing he had a thick layer of clothing between his skin and the
densetsu's.
" Are you sure you don't want anything else to wear, Vejita? "
" I'm fine. "
Brolli sighed, " Alright, have it your way. "
:If I had it my way I'd be home making lunch for Kakarrotto, and you wouldn't exist at all: the ouji thought to
himself.
" Well, have a seat Vejita while I get started hm? " he smiled, motioning the smaller saiyajin to a seat at the
large table behind them.
The ouji backed away towards the table, then waited for Brolli to turn back to the oven. Vegeta felt his stomach
growl and narrowed his eyes, :There is no way I'm going to eat anything else made by him while I'm perfectly capable of
preparing my own lunch: he thought to himself. Vegeta cracked his knuckles and rolled up the robe's sleeves, then made a mad
dash for the fridge. He bounced of the side and sent himself flying past Brolli where he grabbed two knives out of their
container in the process. Brolli gasped at the sight and lundged at Vegeta to try and get the knives away from him. This time
when Vegeta ran past the fridge he kicked it open and grabbed ingrediants with his tail. Vegeta slid across the floor,
Brolli racing after him. The ouji jumped into the air and bounced off Brolli's head, then landed infront of the table where
he grabbed a plate and started to prepare a large hoagie while Brolli chased him around the table. The ouji grinned when he
finished, pulled out his chair just as Brolli hit it and tripped over said chair onto the floor. Vegeta sat down in his seat
and happily ate his lunch while the densetsu twitched on the ground.
" Well, that was delicious! " Vegeta said happily after finishing off his hoagie.
" Hn... " Brolli got to his feet, then sweatdropped for a moment to see the two knives Vegeta had stolen were now
stuck halfway into the table, " Vejita.. " he said warningly.
The ouji turned his head away from Brolli, " I'm not an uke, I try to tell you but you don't seem to understand so it
appears I must take more active measures to do so. " Vegeta smirked.
Brolli reached over and grabbed the ouji under his arm. Vegeta let out a yelp.
" HEY! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING LET GO OF ME! " Vegeta snapped, trying to pull himself free.
The densetsu then reached for the knives and yanked them out of the kitchen table, revealing two large thin holes in
their place. He put the knives in the sink and annoyedly carried Vegeta out of the room.

Timeline 5: The Good Chi-Chi's timeline : "As You Wish"/"Fusion-Ha!"
" WOW! It's so BIG. " Goku said in awe as he, Chi-Chi, and Bulma stood infront of a huge mansion.
" It's even larger than on the videotape. " Bulma sweatdropped.
Chi-Chi walked up to the front door and pressed the doorbell.
" ▫DING-DONG▫ "
" Hello? "
The trio looked down to see a chibi standing in the doorway.
" Goten! " Chi-Chi bent down to his height, " Hey sweetie. " she patted him on the head, then noticed the tail
sticking out from behind him and sweatdropped.
" His ki's so much higher than the one in our timeline. " Goku said with surprise.
" Of course it is. He's a full-blooded saiyajin thanks to this timeline's Chi-Chi using the dragonballs to wish
herself saiyajin in order to avoid any competition from Vegeta. " Bulma explained.
" HUH? " Chi-Chi looked over at her in shock.
" Oh yeah! That's right, I never showed either of you those tapes, did I? " Bulma laughed nervously.
" HUH? " Chi-Chi repeated.
" Say Goten! " Bulma turned to face, " Do you think you could take us to see your parents? We need to ask them
something. "
" Oh-kay Bulma-san! " Goten 5 nodded and lead them inside.
" So, in this timeline Chi-chan made a wish so she could be a saiyajin like me and Veggie? " Goku asked.
" Mmm-hmm, shortly after she got back to her own timeline about a year before she and you had Gohan. " Bulma said,
" She sent Mirai and I some videotapes through my timesnap machine during that entire zombie ordeal where you and Vegeta
were temporarily dead. Apparently in this timeline you and Chi-Chi continued to enter the Tenkaichi Budoukais and have come
out as the winner and runner-up each time; that's how you amassed this fortune here. "
" Seems almost too good to be true. " Chi-Chi said, suspicious, " What about the Ouji? "
" Ah- " Bulma froze, remembering what she'd seen of Timeline number 5's Vegeta, " -he's no trouble at all. Infact
you actually beat him in battle once! "
" Really? " Chi-Chi's eyes widened, " You're, KIDDING, right? "
" That must mean this timeline's Chi-chan is really really strong! " Goku grinned with excitement, " I cannot wait to
meet her! "
" Wish myself saiyajin...why didn't I think of that? " Chi-Chi muttered, frustrated as they passed a tall man wearing
an orange gi. She paused, " Goku-sa? "
The man turned around, " Haha, nah, but I can see where that'd confuse you. "
" Gohan! " Goku pointed to him with a gasp.
Gohan 5 wore a Goku gi and sported his Cell saga haircut, " Yup! So you're from that other timeline Kaasan sent the
videotapes too, huh? " he said friendily.
" Mmm-hmm. " Bulma smiled.
" Oi! Gohan number 5 have you seen any extra Veggies around here? "
Gohan 5 blinked, " Extra...what? "
" He means the Ouji. Ours is missing so we're searching the other timelines to try to find him. " Chi-Chi sighed.
" It is especially important that I find Veggie soon because Veggietine's Day is only two days away! " Goku said,
worried.
" Veggietine's Day? " Gohan 5 repeated, " Never heard of it. "
Goku stared at him blankly, confused, " But, how could you not know Veggietine's Day? It's the day when you give
special presents to people who are special to you and who you luv so very much. "
" He means Valentine's Day. We've just been calling it that recently. " Bulma laughed, embarassed.
" I don't see why you'd want to search for Vegeta or why he'd even hide from you to begin with Toussan. " Gohan 5
sweatdropped, " I mean, ever since Kaasan defeated him he's gotten even tougher to get rid of. He bought a capsule house and
moved it right next door. He keeps trying to coerce Toussan into coming inside, but Toussan knows better by now. "
" Wait, so your timeline's Goku-san doesn't have the unexplicable need to be close to the Ouji? "
" Why should he when he's got you? " Gohan cocked an eyebrow.
" Believe me I ask myself that every day. " Chi-Chi sighed as they continued to follow Gohan and Goten down the hall.
" Mmmmmm...heh-heh. " a mischievous grin appeared in a nearby window as Goku passed it, " ▫Tap▫tap▫ "
" ? " Goku glanced over and let out a gasp of excitement, " A Veh- "
The figure put his finger over his mouth, shhing Goku.
Goku closed his mouth. He glanced back at the others, who were already two or three feet ahead by now, then back at
Vegeta 5, who had his face smushed against the window and was staring blankly at Goku, " Awwwww.. " the large saiyajin walked
up to the window.
Vegeta 5 pulled his face away and pointed to the lock, then motioned upward.
Goku grabbed the lock and unlocked it. The ouji beamed, rubbing his hands together maliciously as he watched Goku
open the window and hop outside; landing directly infront of him.
" ... " ▫
" ... " a flush appeared over Vegeta 5's nose and he grinned wickedly.
Goku tilted his head and smiled, " HI Veggie number 5! "
The flush disappeared and Vegeta 5 blinked in confusion, " "Veggie"? "
" So! " the larger saiyajin picked up the smaller one, who wore his royal saiyajin armor minus the shoulder-pads in
place of a tanktop, and hugged him tightly.
" AAAH- " Vegeta 5 let out a noise of delight.
" Have you seen my Veggie wandering around here anywhere, Veggie number 5? " Goku asked, rubbing his back.
" Oh Kakarrotto... " the ouji murmured, smiling contently.
" Veggie number 5? " Goku plucked Vegeta 5 off and held him out infront of him, " Oh my, this Veggie looks sleepy! "
he looked the ouji over.
" Sleep, hai. " Vegeta 5 smirked, never taking his eyes off the larger saiyajin, " Say Kakarrotto, I am feeling
awfully tired. How would you like to come back with me to my house and we could both have a nice long afternoon nap? "
" I'd like to Veggie 5, but I have my own Veggie to worry a-bout right now. "
" It'll, it'll just be a short nap, we won't take that much time and I'll be gentle. " Vegeta 5 smirked.
" What? "
" Genteel! I'll be genteel, you know, polite, ah, courteous. I won't hog the sheets or snore or anything like
that. " Vegeta 5 gave him a cheesy smile.
" Hmmm... " Goku glanced out of the corner of his eye as if he were debating something.
Vegeta 5 clasped his hands together in desperate hope, :Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes..:
" Oh-kay! " Goku chirped.
" YES! " the ouji pumped his fists in the air, " Today I CONQUER! " he grinned in victory.
" Eh? "
" Ah-I mean, nap. "
Goku cocked an eyebrow.
" What did I say? "
" You said, "conquer". " Goku sweatdropped.
" Well, yes, that too. I'm going to "conquer" my ah, " he thought for a moment, then grinned evilly, " Fear of
sleeping ontop of things. Yes. " Vegeta 5 chuckled, then put his hands on Goku's shoulders and gave a false sad little pouty
face, " You'll help me face my fear, won't you Kakay? "
" Aw, of COURSE I will Veggie! " Goku said brightly, then set Vegeta 5 down and followed him over to the Capsule
house.
Vegeta 5 rubbed his hands together and snickered, " Bwahahaha! Excellent... "

Chi-Chi's head snapped to attention, " My Goku's-in-danger-of-being-influenced-by-the-Ouji senses are tingling. "
" Oh I'm sure he's fi-hey! " Bulma suddenly noticed Goku wasn't with them, " Where'd he go? "
" Here we are. " Gohan announced, opening a nearby door only to see Goku laying there on his stomach just beyond the
doorway.
" Hi Gohan! " Goku 5 waved as an object hurtled downard and landed on his back, " OOF! "
" Gohan-kun. " Chi-Chi 5 said pleasantly, grabbing Goku 5 in a headlock only to be tossed over him frontways. She
landed a kick and knocked the larger saiyajin across the room only to have Goku 5 teleport to behind her. Chi-Chi 5 whipped
around and put a ki shield up just intime to block a blast from Goku, " Who's that you have with you? "
" Ah... " Chi-Chi stared in shock at the mere idea of her keeping a steady battle against Goku, or even physically
sparring with him at all with his current power.
" Well, the other Toussan's not here right now, but, these two along with him are from the main timeline. " Gohan
introduced them.
" It is a pleasure to meet you! " Goku 5 shook Chi-Chi's hand.
" Hai. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" Main timeli-EEP! " Chi-Chi 5 froze, then zipped over to Goku 5, " Goku-sa! What are you doing! If they're from
that timeline then that means that's the crazy me! "
" I'm right here. " an even larger sweatdrop appeared on Chi-Chi's head.
" Uh- " Chi-Chi 5 looked over at her, " Oh! Sorry! Haha...say did you know how much more oblivious a saiyajin mind
is to certain things than a human one? "
" I can't imagine. "
" So! Ah.. " Chi-Chi 5 made sure she was a good foot and a half away from her counterpart for fear she would whip
out that bazooka or some other type of large weapon.
Chi-Chi looked at Chi-Chi 5. She looked as if she were still in her early 20's and wore a red gi with a long
white-sleeved shirt underneath it. Her hair was in a ponytail the way it appeared when she met Goku at the 23rd Budoukai and
a tail flitted nervously behind her.
" ..what's the occation? "
" We're looking for our timeline's Vegeta. " Bulma replied, " Have you seen him? "
" No. " Chi-Chi 5 said, " But I do know I'd rather deal with him than our own. "
Goku 5 sensed around, " There are two very strong ki's at Vegeta's house right now. "
" Two? " Bulma paled.
" AAAH! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, " IT'S GOKU-SAN! "

" Hmmhmm, ah Kakarrotto, this is going to be a very enjoyable nap. " Vegeta 5 sighed contently as he lay on Goku's
stomach while wearing a pair of orange boxers.
" Umm, Veggie 5? " Goku spoke up, his face flushed as he twiddled his thumbs.
" Uh-huh? " the ouji said casually.
" When you said conquering your fear of being ontop of things... "
" Oh, I'm close to a breakthrough Kakarrotto, I can feel it. " Vegeta 5 smirked, then glomped the larger saiyajin.
" OH! " this time the larger saiyajin's whole body glew bright pink, :Veggieshuggingme:
" Can you feel it, Kakarrotto? "
" I- " Goku squeaked out, " V-Veggie I am not supposed to-i-it is a-gainst the rules to- "
" Rules? " the ouji leaned down til they were nose-to-nose, " Why Kakarrotto, what are you talking about? "
" Ah- " Goku faultered, his mind starting to wander.
" ▫POW▫! "
Vegeta 5 whipped his head to the right to see the door had been kicked down.
" ALRIGHT YOU! " Chi-Chi pointed angrily at him while her and Goku's counterparts stood behind her along with Bulma.
The ouji raised an eyebrow, " And you would be? "
" HIS WIFE! " she motioned to Goku, who's mind was off in a daze somewhere.
" Really? " Vegeta 5 said, only partially interested. He turned back to Goku and gave another squeeze.
" ▫FWOOSHIE▫! " Goku burst into ssj1.
" Hey! Check it out, I think I'm winning. "
" Ooohh! " a vein bulged on Chi-Chi's forehead and she whipped out the nyou-bo, " ALRIGHT YOU- "
" -AARR! "
" Oof! " Vegeta 5 yelped as he hit the wall. He slid to the floor and sat up, " Heh, cheap shot, Chichi. "
Chi-Chi's eyes widened at her counterpart, who's leg was still up, :I didn't even SEE that:
" You shouldn't take advantage of people like that. " she smirked.
" Aw, I'm not taking advantage, Kakarrotto was merely helping me conquer a little fear of mine. " he grinned slyly.
" Ohhhh... " Goku murmured, still in a daze. Bulma sweatdropped and went to try and drag the heavy saiyajin off the
bed.
" And that fear would be? "
" The fear of laying ontop of things? " he smiled cheesily.
" ... " Chi-Chi 5 and Goku 5 stared at him lamely.
" Hey, HE believed me! " Vegeta 5 pointed to Goku, who Bulma was now pouring a glass of cold water ontop of to try
and cool him down.
" Of course HE believed you, he doesn't KNOW you Vegeta. " Goku 5 exclaimed.
" True, true. " the ouji walked over to them, then glanced over at Goku, " Ya know Kakay, if you can't find your me
you could always stay here and we could get to know each other better. "
" Aw, that's nice of you, Veggie number 5, " Goku patted him on the head. The ouji sweatdropped at where Goku patted
him. Goku 5 and Chi-Chi 5 looked worried.
" Oh I'm very nice, Kakarrotto. " he said, looked the larger saiyajin over.
" But I can't. "
" HUH? "
" It's MY Veggie who I want to find and Veggie just can't be replaced, even if it is with another Veggie. You
understand. " Goku bent down to Vegeta 5's height.
" Oh. " Vegeta 5 said, disheartened, then turned to his own timeline's Goku, " Well at least I still have you, huh
Kakarrotto? " he grinned and glomped onto Goku 5's arm.
Goku 5 froze in place as a nervous sweat appeared on his face.
Meanwhile, the saiyajin's counterpart scanned around for any other Vegeta-like ki's. He frowned when he found
nothing, " I guess we should go. "
" Yeah. We still have 3 more timelines to check. " Bulma held three fingers up.
Chi-Chi sighed, " She's so lucky. "
" Come Chi-chan! " Goku took her hand, " Let's go find Veggie! "

" ▫RIP▫ ▫RIP▫ ▫RIP▫ ▫RIP▫ "
" Heh, now that's more like it! " Vegeta stood before the mirror in his "room". He had ripped the turtleneck and
sleeves off his black training uniform along with 3/4ths of the white gloves so they were now a length the ouji was used to.
Brolli had decided it was time for them to go to sleep.
Vegeta wasn't sleepy.
The ouji slowly opened the door to the room and peeked out. The lights in the ship were either dimmed or completely
turned off. He levitated off the floor and blasted off down the hall til he reached the door to the place he was headed.
The gravity room.
Vegeta grinned and rubbed his hands together. He knew it felt about 2 or 3 days since he'd been here and 2 or 3 days
since he'd trained. The ouji grabbed the door and slipped inside to the gravity room, which was three times bigger than his
own at Capsule Corp. He walked up to the control panel and cracked his knuckles, " Alright Brolli, let's see just how well
you were paying attention to how this thing works. " he reached for what on his own gravity room would be the start button
and pressed it.
" Welcome to the Gravity Room. Please enter your desired gravity now. " the computer said.
The ouji frowned, " Not very personal are ya. Oh well. " he shrugged and input 500x.
" Gravity number 500x Earth's gravity accepted. " a familiar humming sound came from the machine and everything
around Vegeta suddenly became intensely heavier.
" YES! " Vegeta pumped his fists in the air with a feeling of victory rushing through him. He burst right into ssj2
and hopped around the room landing deadly punches and kicks to his nonexistant opponent, " HA HA HA HA HA! Ahh this is
wonderful! Oh 500x gravity I shall never forsake you! " he beamed, then did a backflip off the floor and sent a kick outward,
" Haha! " the little ouji laughed, feeling genuinely happy for the first time in days, " I'll show him! I'm no uke! I'm the
GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI! Feared destroyer of galaxies! BWAHAHA! "

" Hmmhmmhmm, hmmhmmhmm. " Vegeta came proudly walking into the kitchen wearing his new and improved training uniform.
Brolli sat at the kitchen table with his bangs covering his eyes, an unreadable expression on his face. Opening the fridge,
Vegeta whistled as he took out a pair of eggs and some milk, then went to the counter and took out a measuring cup and an
egg beater.
" Have "fun" last night, Vejita? "
The ouji froze, " Ah... "
" Sit down. " Brolli instructed.
" ... " Vegeta stood in place, starting to sweat nervously, :D-don't tell me he SENSED:
" Your scent was all over the gravity room, Vejita. " Brolli growled. He stood up and walked towards the ouji, " You
were in there last night. I checked the machine's memory logs. You were in there with the gravity at 500x for FOUR HOURS! "
" Really? Huh, felt longer than that.. " Vegeta murmured to himself.
" DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND YOU COULD'VE BEEN KILLED! "
" ! " the ouji froze, frightened at Brolli's outburst, " I- "
" Vejita its too dangerous for you to do that! I worked so hard to do all this for you, to try and keep you safe and
you just go ahead and put your life in danger! "
" I train at 500 times gravity all the time. "
" So? That doesn't make it healthy! That doesn't make it safe! " Brolli calmed down, then glomped the little ouji,
" I can't let you get hurt, Vejita. I refuse to allow anyone or anything to harm you. Vejita-chan... "
Vegeta squirmed uncomfortably in the hug, " Do you mind? I don't particularly care for being held by those who
kidnap me. "
" I didn't kidnap you, Vejita. I saved you. " Brolli chuckled, amused.
" Could've fooled me. "
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
" Vejita-chan, " Brolli let go of him and sat back down, then motioned Vegeta to do so as well. The ouji uneasily
did so, " I'd like to tell you a story. "
" Umm.. "
" I realize now that you may not completely understand why I did this. Why I need you so much. " the densetsu said
with a sad smile on his face.
" I think Paragus already gave me your little backstory. He boasted how strong you were to my Toussan, who then
tried to perform an attempted murder on the two of you. He thought he killed you however you both escaped. " Vegeta said,
disinterested.
" That's not it at all. " Brolli shook his head, " What I mean to say is...Vejita, a long time ago, when we were
chibis...I was very lonely. The twisted chubby bundle of tears in the cradle beside mine contineously bawling his lungs out
in sorrow. His voice was that of a thousand pieces of styrofoam being rubbed together! But then, you came. It was an
average day, I was sitting there waiting for my mother to come in with my lunch-she worked in the nursery after she had me
because when she was pregnant my densetsu power drained a large portion of her previously high ki-and KAKARROTTO was bawling
his head off as usual. His sobbing was particularly painful that day and I almost burst into tears myself at that grinding
gnawing attack on my eardrums when the door suddenly creaked open and you snuck inside. I listened as I heard you waddle
up towards the cribs.You hovered upward, took one long look at HIM, and he stopped crying. He STOPPED crying; instantly! That
terrible mind-bending noise was gone. I knew there was something special about you, you the only one who could return the
wonderful sound of silence to my ears. I thought for sure you were about to pick me up and take me somewhere with you...but
you didn't. You took KAKARROTTO. Kakarrotto would gurgle and coo, laugh with delight in your arms. I couldn't understand it.
Me with my ki of 18,000, and his at 2 yet you still chose him over me! It didn't make sense, you seeking out someone with
such a weak ki as opposed to someone like me. "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " I've known Kakarrotto since he was born, I used to play with him all the time as a chibi.
Its not like I was picking him out at random or choosing a future mate or anything. "
" I watched you back then you know. I'd follow you around and see you playing with Kakarrotto. You'd carry him
around, share your snacks with him, play pretend that he was in danger and you would swoop in and rescue him from whatever
primitive trap you'd placed him inside. "
" Ah, the Masked Avenger. " Vegeta smiled fondly as he sat back in his chair. He pointed at Brolli, " I'll have you
know that was a seme role as well. "
" Watching you spend so much time with Kakarrotto, watching how happy you made Kakarrotto. I wanted you to do that
for me. I knew you could. But almost everytime I tried to play with you Toussan would drag me away. All he cared about was
my power. He wanted to use my power and densetsu status to inact that law that would've allowed me to become King. At first I
didn't like having to train while Kakarrotto was content and happy in your arms, but then when I learned of the otokohime.. "
he trailed off, " Soon after that you were kidnapped by Freeza. Naturally I was upset, as upset as a two year old could be
anyway. Kakarrotto went back to bawling but I rarely heard him as he was old enough not to need frequent check-ups and now
lived completely at his family's home. Your parents concoted a rescue mission. Your Toussan would take half the saiyajin army
to Freeza's ship to rescue you and your Kaasan would mobilize the remaining half incase Freeza attempted an attack on the
planet. I'm sure we both know how that turned out. "
" I don't see why you bring up such things. I don't like to think about it. Its better to just block it out and move
on with your life. " the ouji said bluntly.
The densetsu frowned, " That's just as healthy as you training under that heavy gravity. "
" On the contrary, dwelling on such things only makes it worse. I prefer to either take sweet dark revenge, or
simply laugh it off and continue on. It all depends on the level of whatever was done to me. For instance, you kidnapping me
away from my friends and family, that warrants sweet dark revenge. " Vegeta said cooley.
" Vejita you're silly. " Brolli smiled, " I've been watching you for such a long time now. That earthling, the one
who mothered the boy and girl, she's not around very often is she? Always busy inventing something or at a meeting of some
sort. It gets lonely, huh? That's why you hang around Kakarrotto so much. He's kind to you, he makes you feel like you're
truely special, he held you so often, made you laugh and smile, he shares your interests and desires. You were attracted to
him. "
" I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO NON-PLATONIC FEELINGS FOR KAKARROTTO WHATSOEVER! " Vegeta stood up, furious while his face
glew bright red.
" Well, that's good to know then. " the densetsu chuckled, " You and I have so much more in common anyway. We were
both were born with very high ki levels, both taken away from our loved ones and forced to do the bidding of another, both
forced to destory planets we didn't care a thing about. You know Vejita, if your father had defeated Freeza, rescued you,
and saved the planet, we'd still end up together anyway. "
" How do you figure that? " Vegeta snorted.
" My Toussan would've proved to the public that I was a densetsu and he would've used that ancient law to force your
Toussan into placing me into the position of ouji. You then would've become my otokohime and we'd be ruling the planet
together as Ou and Otokoouho right now. And Kakarrotto..heh-heh, I'd have him put away for quite a long time on the grounds
of mental and emotional scarring of his king and ruler. "
Vegeta glared at him.
" I'm the only one who understands you and what you've gone through, Vejita. Therefore that makes me the most likely
person to heal you. " he nodded, then leaned closer to the ouji and smirked, " Back when Toussan held me against my will as
his attack dog, the thought of you was the only thing that kept me from giving up hope. I used to dream about you, about
what you would look like as you grew older. I dreamt about the kinds of things I'd say to you, the various ways I'd save you
from Freeza's grasp, the things we would do together, how I would hold you in my arms, how we would run away together! "
Vegeta continued to glare but was now nervously sweating.
" Kakarrotto. He's still very heavy on your mind. " Brolli said sadly, pulling back, " Not to worry, you won't burn
for him much longer. You should forget about Kakarrotto, Vejita. I'd prefer you to do it on your own. I'd rather not have
to force you. "
" F-fo-force? " Vegeta murmured in quiet nervous shock.
" If you're good for the rest of this afternoon, Vejita, I'll show you something truely special. Something just for
you. " Brolli smirked, " It's something eons beyond a "little blue gi", I can tell you that much. "
" Uh.. " Vegeta stared uneasily as Brolli got up.
" Now you sit there while I make the food, alright? "
Vegeta nodded dumbly. The word "force" bringing back vague memories of being locked in a dark little room, of being
nearly strangled, of being beaten within an inch of his life by a certain icejin. Vegeta wondered how much of a difference
in power there was between himself and Brolli as opposed to himself and Freeza back on Namek-sei. He gulped.

Timeline 6: Kayka's timeline : "Happily Ever After"
" Actually, Kayka's the name Veggie made up for her in his play, her real name is Kakarrotto, just like mine. " Goku
said happily to no one inparticular as he and the fusions stood before the front door to a much bigger version of the Son
home.
" Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh! I can't wait this is so exciting! "
The three saiyajin looked to their right to see Bura standing there.
" Why is Bura here? " Vejitto whispered to Gogeta.
" I am not sure. " the dance fusion tilted his head.
" I'm HERE because THIS is MY favorite alternate timeline, next to Gogeta-kun's of course. " Bura grinned.
" Ah. " Vejitto said.
" Hurry Kakarroujo! Ring the doorbell! " Bura said cheerfully.
Goku sweatdropped, then did so.
" Coming! " a voice shouted from inside. The door opened to reveal a female saiyajin wearing a gi identical to
Goku's. Her shoulder-length hair was no longer in a ponytail but now instead curved downward in the opposite direction of
Goku's spikes with the exception of the first three biggest ones, which poked out in Goku-esque form. She was shorter than
her male counterpart, but taller than Vegeta.
" She's her Vegeta's oujo for real. " Bura whispered excitedly to Goku, who flushed pink due to now knowing exactly
what the saiyajin no oujo was.
" Hi! " Goku 6 chirped.
" Hi! " he happily replied.
" Huh..you look very familiar... " Goku 6 said, deep in thought, then glanced over and grinned, " Ji-chan and Goggie!
You're here! " she gushed and glomped them both, " I haven't seen you two since that nice little play of the other Veggie's
that you took us to! "
" Kakarroujo number 6 doesn't even recognize me? " Bura sweatdropped.
" Haha! Silly Bura, you don't exist in this timeline. " Gogeta laughed as Goku 6 let go of the two fusions.
" Oh yeah! Cuz Toussan 6 and Kakarroujo 6...that would explain it.. " she nodded knowingly.
" And I am you of the opposite gender! " Goku said happily, pointing to her.
Goku 6 stared at him for a moment, then lit up, " OHhhhh! Now I remember seeing you! Haha, wow. So would you like to
come in? Veggie's out catching dinner. "
" Catching? " Bura blinked.
" Fish? " Goku guessed excitedly, imagining the a little Veggie with bangs in a blue gi carrying a large fish over
his head back to the house.
Goku 6 grinned back.
" AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! You are so LUCKY to have a Veggie who lives with you and wears little blue gi's. "
" Mmm. " Goku 6 beamed proudly as she sat down on one of the nearby couches, " Veggie and I are getting married next
month. "
Bura's eyes widened until they filled up nearly her entire head, " ... "
" Aw, way to go alternate timeline Kaasan! " Gogeta patted her on the shoulder.
Goku sat there with his face flushed pink, " H-hai, other me. "
" Again I am confused and have that everthing-is-switched-a-round feeling. " Vejitto blinked, glancing about the
room. He noticed the various Budoukai awards along with several other martial arts medals. The decor in the house had a
fairly strong saiyajin feel to it. The portara fusion concluded that Vegeta must've been the room's decorator.
" OHMYGODTHISISTHEGREATESTTHINGEVER! " Bura suddenly gushed at hyperspeed. She glomped onto the lower part of
Goku 6's leg, " Kakarroujo-6-you-have-to-let-me-help-you-pick-out-a-gown-and-the-hair-and-accessories-and-the-makeup- "
" -actually I wasn't planning on any of that. " Goku 6 said happily, " Veggie and I were going to perform the
saiyajin marriage rituals right here in our home wearing our everyday gi's. "
" ... " Bura stared at Goku 6 like her head had just fallen off, " Are you completely insane? " she said in
disbelief.
" Kakarrotto! I'm back! " Vegeta 6 called out as he opened the front door.
" HI Veggie! " Goku 6 said warmly, " Look! We have guests! "
Vegeta 6 looked around. He recognized the fusions, the little blue-hairred girl looked vaguely familiar, and finally,
" Hahaha, oh of course, the male Kakarrotto. " he stiffled a laugh, " Hello there. " the ouji dropped the huge fish he had
caught onto the middle of the floor.
" HI Veggie number 6. " Goku said warmly.
Vegeta 6 stared at him blankly, " Please, don't do that ever again. " he said bluntly, freaked out.
Goku blinked, confused, " Umm, oh-kay? "
" You know Kakarrotto, if they're all staying for dinner we're going to have to both go out there and catch at least
two more of these. " the ouji stretched.
" Oh do not worry, other-timeline Toussan, we're only here to ask about our timeline's Toussan. " Gogeta smiled.
" What about him? Something even more unlucky than a male version of Kakarrotto befall him? " Vegeta 6 guessed.
Goku sniffled, " Veggie disappeared a few days a-go and we haven't been able to find him at all. We've checked Earth,
outer space, and we're almost done checking the the other timelines and if he isn't there than I do not know WHERE Veggie
could be. "
" Aww, don't worry. " Goku 6 patted him on the back, " Veggies are very strong and in-tellegent and resourceful.
I am sure wherever he is that he won't be there long and will come back soon. "
" I hope so. " Goku squeaked out, tearing up.
" You haven't seen our timeline's Toussan around, have you? " Bura asked, glancing over at him from her spot glomped
onto Goku 6's leg.
" I think I would've sensed another me if he came here. " Vegeta 6 folded his arms.
" Hai, I haven't sensed anything out of the ordinary in the past few days. " Goku 6 shook her head.
" Ohh. " Goku said sadly, then looked back up at Vegeta 6, " Little bang'd, blue-gi-wearing Veggie, can I give you a
hug? "
" WAHHH! " Vegeta 6 jumped back, " Ah, no thanks, really I'm fine. I don't exactly do hugs with other male saiyajin."
" But Veggie, he's me and he's so sad about missing his own you. " Goku 6 pouted.
" Aww, come ON Kakarrotto! " the ouji shifted uneasily.
" If you give him a hug, I'll give you something even better. " she smiled coyly at him.
" Mmm, hmmhmm, really? " Vegeta 6 smirked wickedly.
" Really- "
" Heh, " Vegeta 6 turned to his left and let out a shriek to see Goku now standing there a foot away from him with
his arms held outward, " -AHH-HAH! "
" Veggiehug? " Goku wiggled his fingers.
" Ah... " the ouji laughed nervously, then walked up to Goku only to be glomped tightly.
" MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm- " Goku squeezed tighter while Vegeta 6 twitched in shock at the sheer size of him as
compared to his Goku. It felt like he was being eaten up in a sea of orange and blue. Goku finally let go and Vegeta 6
gasped desperately for air, " I feel better now! " Goku chirped.
" Well, that makes one of us. " Vegeta 6 shuddered.
Goku and the fusions took one more look around for their Vegeta's ki, only to find nothing.
" I guess we should be going then. " Goku sighed.
" Yes, please leave, male Kakarrotto who completely distrupts my libido. " Vegeta 6 nervously attempted to shoo him
out of the house.
" Come on Bura, let's let alternate-timeline Mommy and Toussan have their dinner. " Vejitto said, prying her off of
Goku 6's leg.
" Awwww.. " Bura pouted, " I can't believe it! Kakarroujo's gonna get married without a dress or anything! "
" A dress would only get dirty while Kakarrotto and I ate the ceremonial feast. " Vegeta 6 nodded.
" There's gonna be lots and lots of de-licious food, other me! " Goku 6 clasped her hands together at the thought.
" Aw, you're so lucky. " Goku smiled.
" Hee- "
" Well! We have a Veggie to find! Wish us luck! " he grinned.
" Goodluck, Kakarrotto. " Goku 6 said happily.
" Yeah, luck, right. " Vegeta 6 dusted himself off as the others left the house and got into the time machine. The
ouji sighed in relief, " Male Kakarrottos disturb me so. " he pouted, still slightly shaken.
" Let's not give it a-nother thought then, Veggie. " Goku G gave him a tight hug, " Now let's go cook this fish! "

" Ohhh, there just has to be some way out of here! " Vegeta grumbled, sitting on his "bed". He had decided to wait
until Brolli calmed down to ask for a tour of the ship. The ouji rolled over on his side and paused when he felt something
awkward, " What the? " Vegeta took the black training uniform off and stuck his hand in the side-pocket of his red boxers
only to pull out a small orange object, " My cellphone. " he said numbly, then fell to his knees, " OH THANK YOU WHATEVER
MYSTERIOUS FORCE HAS DECIDED TO GRANT ME THIS INDIRECT KEY TO MY FREEDOM! " Vegeta exclaimed, then hopped up to his feet
and zipped up onto the bed and under the covers. He felt his body shake in anticipation as he flipped open the top to his
cellphone and was overjoyed to see he still had 3/4ths of its battery power left. The cellphone's desktop was a photo of
his favorite peasant and himself that they had taken around New Years. The little ouji stared at the desktop for a moment, it
felt like weeks since he'd last seen Kakarrotto. Vegeta quickly and quietly hit the button for the 1st speed-dial listing.
" ▫Bring▫..▫bring▫..Hi Veggie! I am un-able to answer to phone right now, please leave your Veggie-filled message
after the beep! "
" Aarg! The answering machine! It picked up right after the second ring that means he doesn't even have it turned
on! " Vegeta made a fist in his bare hand, " Knew it was too good to be true.. " he pouted.
" ▫BEEP▫ " the little phone beeped.
Vegeta bolted to attention again, " Kakarrotto listen to me. I did not abandon you I've been captured by that twisted
densetsu we thought we defeated. I'm being held here against my will but I promise I will escape and return to you as soon as
I can. I want you to contact Bulma and inform her that she needs to perform a scan on all four galaxies, I have no idea which
one he's holding me in or where my location is at all. I'm going to find out if this ship has any escape pods or not. I want
you to contact me again as soon as you get this message. I'll be placing my phone on vibrate so if it rings while I'm in the
presence of the "Big Meanie" he won't suspect anything. I just, want you to know that I would never leave you Kakarrotto and
I miss you sorely. I wish I'd set the date on my phone so I'd at least know how long I've been here or what today is. I'll
see you soon Kakarrotto, I promise. " the ouji hit the end button and sighed, " Kakarrotto.. "
:You could try Bulma's, she might be home: Nango suggested.
" O-hai! " Vegeta flipped the phone back up and quickly dialed Bulma's number.
" ▫Bring▫..▫bring▫..▫bring▫.. "
" What have you got there, my little otokohime? " a voice came from behind him.
Vegeta froze and glanced over to see Brolli laying there on his stomach and in ssj1, " A...ah... "
" Something...ORANGE.. " Brolli scrowled at the small device in Vegeta's hand.
" ..▫bring▫..▫bri-▫ Hello? Capsule Corp, this is Bulma speaking. How may I help you? "
Vegeta's eyes widened, :She picked up: " A..a.. " he struggled to speak while staring at the angered, looming
figure before him.
" Give me that painfully-colored device, Vejita. " Brolli held his hand out.
The ouji caught his breath again and screamed out, " BUL- "
" ▫CRUNCH▫! " Brolli snatched the phone and crushed it in his hand.
" ▫Beep▫beep▫beep▫beep▫beep▫beep▫ " the other end of the line beeped as Bulma stood there holding the phone.
" Hello? Hello? Ugh, people hanging up on me. How rude. " she twitched in annoyance, then paused and hit star 6 9.
Vegeta watched Brolli drop the cellphone to the bed. He had completely crushed the control panel, leaving only the
top half of the phone which shown the desktop and the time, 3:35pm. Brolli's eyes narrowed at the photo on the desktop, Goku
with his arm around the little ouji's shoulders and Vegeta doing likewise while new years party favors lay in the background.
The densetsu formed a thin line of ki and shot it at the screen, choping down the middle. The picture flickered away as did
the remaining lights on the cellphone.
" I have very few rules for my ship, Vejita. One of those few rules is that nothing baring that GI'S identical
tint of orange is to enter this ship. Orange isn't a friendly color for me, Vejita. It upsets me. Makes the blood pressure
rise. I don't want you to see me upset and I don't want to be upset around you. That's why there will be nothing of that
color allowed in or outside this vicinity. Is that clear? "
Vegeta's ki flared, :I had her..I HAD HER! SHE ANSWERED THE DAMN PHONE AND YOU STORM IN HERE AND CRUSH IT BECAUSE
ITS THE SAME COLOR AS KAKARROTTO'S GI?:
:Don't get him any angier or it'll be even harder to get at tour: Nango warned him, :Kakarrotto's cellphone saved
that message of yours, at least you have that:
The ouji calmed down slightly, :Hai, Kakarrotto will tell Bulma. They'll find out what happened:
" So, " Brolli had powered back down to normal and was once again smiling at him, " what would you like to do this
morning, Vejita-chan? "
" Morning? It's going on 4:00pm! :And you just crushed my only clock: " he gawked.
" Aw Vejita, its any time of day you want it to be. " the densetsu grinned.
" ... " Vegeta was silent for a moment, " I don't suppose, you'd give me a tour of your ship? "
" I'd be delighted to, Vejita. And maybe later I can show you that special thing I have just for you. " Brolli's
grin quirked wickedly.
Vegeta paled, " Ah, hai. "

" ▫Bring▫..▫bring▫..▫bring▫..▫bring▫ " the phone Bulma had called back using star 6 9 continued to ring while she
tapped her nails on the countertop.
" You have reached the personal flip-phone of the Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ouji. If you're Kakarrotto, please
leave a message after the tone and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. If you are not Kakarrotto but still in my circle
of family and friends, leave a message after the beep and I'll get back to you when I feel like it. If you are in neither of
the first two categories, such as Onna, your message will be deleted before you finish your second syllible. Have a good
day. " Vegeta's recorded message played.
Bulma's jaw hung open in shock.
" ▫BEEEEEEP▫ "
" Vegeta? VEGETA! VEGETA YOU ANSWER THIS PHONE RIGHT NOW AND TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE EVERYONE'S WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU
AND SON-KUN'S...pick up the phone, Vegeta!...PLEASE pick up!..Errr, you better get yourself home soon mister, Veggietine's
Day is TOMMOROW and if you miss it Son-kun'll be CRUSHED! He's already emotionally unstable as it is with you disappearing
without a trace and not telling any of us where you're going! He needs you, I need you, we ALL need you to come back I don't
care WHAT you're shopping for just drop it and get your ass back home! " she ranted, then looked down sadly, " That's all
we want.. " Bulma said softly.
" ▫BEEEEEP▫ " the answering machine's tape-end beep came on and Bulma hung up.
The blue-hairred woman leaned her back against the wall and rubbed her temples with her thumb and pointer finger,
" Oh Vegeta...what am I going to do? "

Timeline 7: Cell's timeline : Toriyama-created Alternate Timeline
" Well, here we are. " Mirai said as the time machine landed and he and Goku got out.
" Ohhh.. " Goku gasped in shock. West City looked as though it'd been blown apart and patched up using a low movie
budget, " The poor city.. "
" Well this is the timeline where I defeated the androids on my own only to be murdered by Cell on my way back to
tell you guys that I'd won. " Mirai shifted around uneasily.
" How de-pressing. " Goku pouted as they walked up to Capsule Corp, " Do you really think little Veggie chose to come
to THIS timeline? "
:I'd prefer it actually. If Toussan was here then at least we wouldn't have to check Timeline 8: Mirai thought to
himself.
Goku sensed around, then shivered as if from the cold, " Oh Mirai there are no Veggie ki's at all! " his eyes
widened temporarily, " This is a sad and lonely place. " he made two worried fists, " Let's go find Veggie someplace else! "
" Son-kun? "
Goku turned to see Bulma 7 standing in the doorway, " Bulma? "
She let out a gasp, " TRUNKS! " Bulma 7 ran over to meet her son and hugged him tightly, " Oh Trunks it is you! "
" Ah, sorta of. " Mirai laughed nervously.
" Hm? " Bulma 7 let go of him, " What do you mean, sort of? " she cocked an eyebrow.
" Well, I am Trunks, only I'm from the first timeline-well, what I consider the first timeline. " he explained.
" Oh. " Bulma 7 frowned, " I was a little suspicious when I noticed Son-kun alive and well. So what timeline is
this? "
" To Son-san, 7. To me, 3. " Mirai replied, " I go chronologically in my timeline numbering. "
" Ahh. " Bulma 7 said, " Would you two like to come in? "

" ...and so with the planet free of the androids we've been slowly rebuilding. Personally I've been planning a pet
project to journey to New Namek-sei so I can use the dragon balls there to wish everyone back. " Bulma 7 said as she led Goku
and Mirai through the lab and up to a large spaceship, " It should be ready to go in a few weeks. "
Goku noticed something out of the corner of his eye and wandered off into a nearby room and let out a gasp.
Laying there in a chrono chamber was a Veggie.
He nervously walked up to the figure and peared down at him through the glass covering. Goku started to sweat in
fright and his arms began to shake, " Eh-eh-eh-it's a DEAD Veggie. " he cried out in a small voice and felt his lunch
threaten to exit through the entrance. Goku's eyes teared up at the saiyajin in the chamber, " He looks so small. "
Vegeta 7 lay there as if frozen in time. He was wearing the armor he wore while fighting the androids. The chamber
the only thing keeping his body from decaying or rigor mortis.
Goku continued to stare, unable to tear his eyes away from the sight. He'd only seen a dead Vegeta one other time in
his life and that was when Freeza killed the little ouji and Goku had picked him up and buried him. It was worse now. He
didn't have nearly the same level of attachment to the smaller saiyajin back then, " Ah...a...oh VEGGIE! " Goku sobbed,
falling onto his behind in shock, " VEH-HEH-HEH-GEEE! "
Mirai and Bulma bounded into the room to see Goku sitting their wailing.
" Oh no. " Mirai murmured, slapping his hand onto his forehead.
" Your Toussan was the only one who had the, ah, cleanest remains. " Bulma explained, " I uh, I tried to revive him
several times only to discover he'd recieved a fatal blow to his heart. I couldn't operate on him to fix his heart because
his body would be unable to heal from being cut open. " she said sadly.
" But did you have to leave him out in the open like this? " Mirai sweatdropped.
" Well, you died. You all died. It's not like I was going to have people over who would wander into my lab rooms and
go "Why Bulma who's that man in the chamber over there" and I would reply "Oh that's my dead boyfriend who I've been trying
to bring back to life using super-science." " she rolled her eyes and folded her arms.
" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! THE POOR SWEET LITTLE VEGGIE! "
" Maybe we should get going. " Mirai said with a blank look on his face.
" Alright. I'll see you in a month then. " Bulma 7 said.
" Huh? "
" Oh! Not you you, my you. You know. " she laughed and tried to correct what she said.
" Right. " Mirai replied, " So? You umm, would you like to help me get him back to the time machine? "
" Oh Veggie...oh Veggie number 7 it can't be true it just can't! " Goku sniffled as he stumbled to his feet.
" Come on Son-san. " Mirai said, patting him on the arm, " Let's go. "
" Oh Bulma I never wanna see another dead Veggie ever again! " he sobbed, hugging onto her.
" Ah- " Bulma 7 paused, then patted him on the back, " There there Son-kun. It's alright. "
" It's the most horrible thing I have ever seen! " Goku choked out. He let go of Bulma, " I am going to give the next
Veggie I meet the biggest hug ever. " the large saiyajin said determindly.
Mirai paled, knowing already which Veggie that was, " Uh... "
" I have to find my Veggie I cannot wait any longer! Not while my Veggie could be in danger of- " Goku took one last
glance at Vegeta 7. Goku grabbed the sides of his head, " No no NO! Veggie's alive. Veggie's alive. Veggie's alive. " he
squinted his eyes shut and mumbled like a mantra, " Little Veggie can't be dead cuz he made that wish so he's e-mmortal so
there is no way my Veggie can be dead at all. " his ki began to rise, " Hurry Mirai we have to find Veggie! " he grabbed the
demi-saiyajin by the arm and ran up the stairs, " HURRYHURRYHURRYHURRYHURRY! "
" Ah-bye Kaasan! " Mirai laughed nervously.
Bulma 7 sweatdropped and waved back, " Goodbye son. "

" You know, I really, really wish you'd cut it out with all the uke outfits. " Vegeta grumbled as he sat to the
right of Brolli in the hovercart as it hovered slowly down the hall. The little ouji was currently wearing a fuzzy pink
shirt with a red sash around his waist similar to Brolli's. Beyond that was a black skirt and a high pair of white boots with
a fluffy pink edges and a long pink stripe down the front of each of them. A pair of fuzzy wristbands around the smaller
saiyajin's wrists and a black headband with a rose in his hair.
A vein bulged on Vegeta's forehead.
" I think it looks nice on you, Vejita. " Brolli said cheerfully, looking over at him for a moment before going back
to driving.
" The great and powerful saiyajin no ouji was NOT meant to wear a skirt. " Vegeta snorted. The skirt reminded him way
too much of the skirt that went to the old servant-maid uniform he had made for Goku over three years ago. He wondered
vaguely if this uncomfortable feeling was what his peasant felt while wearing that uniform, :Not that I can ask him or
even contact him thanks to the Orangephobe over here: he glanced over at Brolli. A wickedly delicious idea suddenly entered
Vegeta's head. He imagined himself painting over his entire "room" in orange paint, then waiting for Brolli to come in.
Upon entering the orange-dunked bedroom Brolli's brain would explode and he'd fall to the ground in horror. Vegeta would then
cheerfully skip-wait a, the saiyajin no ouji does not CHEERFULLY SKIP-he would proudly strut out of the room and escape
back to Earth, where he would be greeted by a big warm hug from Kakarrotto and a parade would be held in his honor for
defeating the densetsu and becoming a legend in his own right, " Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh.. " Vegeta snickered menacingly.
" Did you say something, Vejita-chan? "
" Ah- " the ouji froze, then assumed a more casual position, " No. "
" You know, Vejita, if you'd like, you could lean against my arm and I could hold you and keep you warm. " the
densetsu smirked.
" Wouldn't it be safer if you were to just keep both hands on the wheel? " Vegeta turned a pale green.
" Hai, I suppose you're right, my otokohime. " Brolli sighed and continued to do so.
" Ouji. I'm the saiyajin no ouji. " Vegeta replied, annoyed, " You know, Brolli, while I do think that I partially
understand your obsessive need for a companion whom you can protect and pamper because the latter half of your childhood and
young adulthood, like mine, was lacking in the people-who-actually-care-about-you section, I don't think I'm exactly the
person you're, ah, in need of. "
Brolli glanced at him quizzically out of the corner of his eye.
" What I'm trying to say is that, with so many inhabited planets out there and so many people, there's bound to be a
woman somewhere in the universe who finds your, ah, unique qualities attactive. " Vegeta suggested.
" ... " the densetsu was quiet for a moment, as if in deep thought. He smiled over at the ouji, " You're so funny,
Vejita! "
Vegeta sweatdropped, :More thick-headed than Kakarrotto too:

" Now THIS is the emergancy bay. If anything were to happen to the ship we could escape using this smaller one. "
Brolli explained, motioning to the ship which looked like it could fit about 3 people, however if Brolli were boarding it the
ship would probably only fit two due to his height.
" Only one, huh? " Vegeta mumbled, " That's gonna make it tricky. "
" You say something? "
" I ah, I said that's gonna make the floor sticky...you know, if you were to spill soda on it, or something. " Vegeta
gave him a cheesy smile.
" OH. "
Vegeta looked around, trying to find some sort of landmark to go by so he could find his way back there at "night".
He noticed a large, wide beam in the middle of the room and decided on using that, " Alright then. Let's go have lunch, or
dinner, or whatever meal you've decided its time for. "
" A-already? " Brolli blinked, confused, " But I haven't even gotten through half the tour. "
" Oh. Well in that case, ah, continue on. " Vegeta laughed it off, not wanting the densetsu to get suspicious.

" But CHI-CHAN! I've gone to every other timeline so far and I'm the one who can best sense for Veggie's ki! "
" NO! " she said stubbornly.
" But why not! "
Chi-Chi folded her arms, " Because I don't believe this mysterious 8th timeline is the safest place for you. "
" How do you know that? " Goku frowned.
She pointed lamely to Turles.
Goku looked over at the evil type 3 saiyajin to see a huge, over-excited, Son-ish grin plastered over Turles's face.
" :D "
Goku turned back to Chi-Chi, " So? "
" SO! He's evil and he wants to go to timeline 8! Therefore, that means there's something WRONG with that particular
place! " Chi-Chi deduced.
" Aw, come on Chi-Chi, let Kakarrotto go. " Turles said happily, putting a hand on each of their shoulders,
" Kakarrotto will have fun in timeline 8 and maybe even learn a few things..about himself! "
Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at Turles.
Turles simply grinned.
" And to that final, forboding sentence, I say NO. " she snapped.
" But you allowed Kakarrotto to visit all the other timelines.. "
" THAT'S because I felt sorry for him for his depression due to the Ouji. " she replied.
" I saw a dead Veggie in Timeline 7 and cried uncontrolably for 20 minutes straight. " Goku spoke up while a little
doom cloud hovered over his head.
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
" Fine. " Chi-Chi said flatly.
" YAY! I get to see a living Veggie and give him a hug so I feel better again! " the large saiyajin cheered and
dashed over to the time machine.
Chi-Chi turned to the others, " Alright, who let him see a dead Ouji? "
Mirai shifted uneasily, " Well I didn't KNOW there was a corpse down in the lab! "
" Oh I have a feeling you're going to like THIS timeline, Kakarrotto. Lots of enjoyment in Timeline number 8! "
Turles said, patting the time machine.
" He's like the Ouji, without the paranoia. " Chi-Chi twitched.
" Ah, that, Chi-Chi, is because Vegeta-san cannot accept his inevitable uke-ish fate. " Turles nodded thoughtfully.
" And you? "
" I am void of such paranoia because I can accept Vegeta-san's inevitable uke-ish fate. "
" Uh-huh. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" And it'll be at the hands of my fellow type-3 saiyajin here, eh Kakarrotto? " Turles motioned to him.
" What's an uke? " Goku asked cheerfully.
" You'll know soon enough. " he smirked back.
" No way! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, " That isn't healthy knowledge for Goku-san at all! Especially with the Ouji missing
like this! "
" Would you rather he have nightmares of zombie Vegeta-sans bursting into his bedroom all dead and decaying and
crying out things like "Why didn't you save me Kakarrotto? Why didn't you save me before it was too late?". How is that more
pleasant than allowing Kakarrotto to give Vegeta-san number 8 a simple friendly hug. "
" It's not! I mean, the danger, and the mysteriousness, and-oooh, WHYAREYOUSOPERSUASIVE! " she fumed, upset.
" Heh, I've had lots of practice. " Turles snickered, " So, you'll let him go? "
" ...hai. But you stay here. "
" Sorry, can't do that. This is the timeline I've been waiting to see, MY favorite timeline. Besides, you don't hold
any rules over me nor are you in charge of anything I do. Now off I go! " he pointed onward determindly and hopped into the
ship, followed by Goku and the fusions.
Chi-Chi looked over at Mirai, " Well? "
" Well what? You can only fit 4 adults in that thing. " Mirai replied.
" But-but you said its some dangerous forbidden timeline! Shouldn't you at least go to supervise as long as that
twisted Goku-like saiyajin is going with them! "
" Sometimes you need to take drastic measures when the situation calls for it. I was really hoping that Toussan was
in one of the previous timelines because of how bizarre Timeline 8 turned out on me. It was my very first time-traveling
attempt you know. I really messed things up somehow and I can't say I'm very proud of it; but hey at least Son-san didn't
die fighting Cell in that one. " Mirai glanced over at her, " If there's anything Son sees that truely bothers him, there's
always Kaasan's Brain-Freezer. She can erase his memory of that timeline the way she and Toussan did before. "
" Hee- " Goku buckled up, " Ready to go! "
" To the 8th Timeline! " Turles pumped his fist in the air.
" To the 8th Timeline! " Vejitto and Gogeta cheered in unison.
" To VEGGIE! "
The time machine lifted up off the ground, then in a flash of light, disappeared...

Timeline 8 : The Mysterious Forbidden Timeline of which only Mirai and Turles have gained knowledge of...
" Mmmm, nmmnmnmnm.. " Vejitto 8 happily snacked on his fish sandwich at the kitchen table. The fusion's tail
wagged casually behind him as he ate.
" ▫FWWWWWWWWOOOOH▫! " a blast of bright light exploded from before him to reveal a semi-familiar looking machine.
" Here we are! " Turles opened the hatch and anxiously left the vehicle, followed by the remaining three saiyajin.
Goku looked around. The living room appeared about the same as the one in his own timeline with the exception of the
addition of a large, soft, almost plush blue chair. He scratched the back of his head, getting a fuzzy feeling of deja vu
since he had his memory of this timeline removed directly after he, Vegeta, and those who were accidentally sent to the
timeline with them, had returned home.
" Toussan! " a voice chirped from below.
" Be-low? " Goku cocked his head, then glanced down and let out a gasp, " JI-CHAN! You are SMALL! "
" Huh? " Vejitto looked past Goku to see a chibi version of himself wearing a blue t-shirt and holding a sandwich in
one hand.
The chibi took a bite of his sandwich, then grinned, " HI! "
" Wow, it is a timeline full of chibinized saiyajin. " Gogeta said in awe.
" Not quite. " Turles said mysteriously.
Gogeta sweatdropped at him.
" WOW...you look just like my ototochan, only, BIG. " Vejitto 8 poked Gogeta. The dance fusion looked down at him and
smiled.
" You mean I am a chibi too? " Gogeta looked surprised.
" That is a-mazing. We have not entered a timeline yet where both Goggie and I co-exist without one of us being from
an alternate timeline. " Vejitto said.
" Why are you so small, chibi Jitto? " Gogeta bent down to his height.
" What do you mean? I've always been this small. "
Goku glanced around the room while the three fusions conversed, :Veggie Veggie Veggie Veggie Ve: he froze in
place. There walking across the visible second-floor hallway was a Vegeta in a pair of red boxer shorts. Goku felt his heart
nearly burst, " VEGGIE! " he cried out, running up the stairs at top speed and launching himself at the little ouji who
only turned around just intime to be tackled to the floor.
" Oof! "
" OHMYVEGGIEIFOUNDYOUIKNEWYOUWEREALIVEANDOHKAYOHVEGGIEWHYDIDYOULEAVEMENOWAITIDONOTCAREIAMJUSTHAPPYTOSEEYOUAGAINAND I
LUV U VEGGIE! " Goku gushed, hugging the smaller saiyajin tight.
" Uh... " Vegeta 8 blinked, mind-blown and confused, " What? "
" Oh Veggie I missed u so! " Goku sniffled with joy.
" Well I missed you too but... " Vegeta 8 looked around, " On the floor in the middle of the hallway? " he cocked an
eyebrow, " Right now? "
" Right now what? " Goku blinked, baffled.
" ... " Vegeta 8 watched the larger saiyajin who was currently pinning him to the ground. He then glanced to his left
and past the railing saw the top of the time machine, " OHHHHhhhh, you're from a different timeline. I was wondering where
you got your sudden second wind from after that big workout of yours. "
" Wait, you mean, you're not my Veggie? " Goku's eyes watered up.
" No, I'm sorry Kakarrotto. "
" OHHHHHHH! " Goku let go of him and flopped onto his stomach, " It is not fair! I thought I really found you too, I
mean, you know with the red boxers which is what my Veggie was wearing when he disappeared and...ohhhhh. " he sulked.
" Disappeared? " Vegeta 8 stood up, dusting himself off.
Goku nodded sadly, " Mmm-hmm. "
" I can't see why I would suddenly disappear on you, Kakarrotto. " the ouji folded his arms, " What timeline are
you from? "
" The one that visited here a year a-go only me 'n Veggie 'n our fusion-babies 'n Raditsu all had our memories of
this timeline erased for some mysterious reason. " Goku explained.
" Ah, that one. " Vegeta 8 nodded, " Well I can see him running away if he happened to have a sudden revelation. "
" Revelation? " Goku blinked.
" Yes, you know, something that hits you out of the clear blue and all becomes known and the sudden rush of emotions
is enough to send you off into a paranoid frenzy of which only a healthy amount of alone time can calm you down from and keep
you from appearing uke-ish to those around you. " Vegeta 8 explained.
" Really? "
" Sure. I spent several months out in outer space a long time ago doing the same thing. " the ouji explained.
" So what happened? "
" Well, I came back and then came to terms with what was bothering me so much. Eventually everything worked out. "
Vegeta 8 finished, " Also, alternating is a good sound tool for those who fear being permanently branded with the title of
uke and for those who usually go along with the formerly mentioned but still want to "take charge" every so often. "
" ... " Goku stared at him blankly, " Veggie number 8 I have absolutely no idea what you just said. "
Vegeta 8 sighed, " I was trying to be discreet with you due to how much of a panicked paranoia your timeline's me
seems to be in. " he nodded, then smirked, " Would you like me to put it in layman's terms for you instead? "
Goku nodded.
" Sex. "
" AHHHH! " the larger saiyajin's eyes widened in shock several times over, " Oh Veggie number 8, I am not allowed
to talk of such things with Veggies cuz because that would break rule number 6 which clearly states "No conversations of
non-platonic intercourse are to be spoken of between Veggie and me". " he clasped his hands over his ears in fright.
" And what would the topic of platonic intercourse be? "
" Uh... " Goku paused and thought for a second, " Hugs? "
The ouji sweatdropped, " Hugs. "
" ▫GLOMP▫! " something glomped onto Vegeta 8 from behind, " Hee- Hugs! "
Goku blinked at his counterpart, who appeared a little sleepy, " Me number 8? "
" Hm? "
" Have you seen a Veggie around here dressed like your Veggie only he bursts into a bright red glow when you hug him
tightly? "
" No, I think I would've seen noticed a second Veggie-chan. " Goku 8 looked around, still hugging onto Vegeta 8.
Goku tilted his head, " Wait. Why isn't your Veggie glowing? "
" I have a kaka-disease. " Vegeta 8 lamented.
" Oh no! A disease? "
" Hai, apparently you can catch them if you don't learn of the kaka-germs soon enough to prevent them from entering
your body they can mutate your innerds to Kakarrotto's subconsious will. " the ouji laughed nervously, recieving an even
warmer hug from the saiyajin behind him.
" Oh Veggie number 8 I am so sorry to hear that! " Goku said, worried.
" Ah, it's alright. Not that anything can be done about it. Besides its not your fault that in this timeline Bulma
never picked me up one day after dropping me off at your little kaka-hut and thus I never discovered my theory that you had
actual germs was correct so Bulma never created any peasant-repel for me to use so I could counteract said germs. "
" What do you mean never picked you up? "
Vegeta 8 sweatdropped, " Wow, my other self must've been really therough in erasing your memory of the first time. "
" You mean the other Veggie really DID use that forgetting machine on the other me! " Goku 8 looked astonished,
" But, but we reached an understanding and other me even had a revelation! "
" I did? " Goku blinked.
" Exactly! And that's why I think it would be a wonderful thing if you, my fellow type-3 saiyajin, were to help
Kakarrotto here re-revaluate himself. " Turles said, suddenly standing there.
Goku 8 and Vegeta 8 stared at him blankly.
" Who are you. " Vegeta 8 said bluntly.
" Oh, just a friend, just a friend. " he smirked, " I was wondering if you could have a chat with Kakarrotto here,
Kakarrotto number 8, you know, to convince him of what he's already been convinced of before yet has forgotten due to the
Brain-Freezer. "
" A chat about what? "
" "Veggies". " Turles chuckled.
" OH! " Goku 8 said aloud, " I know all about Veggies! " he grinned, " Every little last bit. "
" Do you think you'll be able to help me figure out where and when and why my Veggie left? " Goku pleaded hopefully.
" Sure. " Goku 8 nodded confidently, " Veggies are my specialty. I live here with Veggie ya know. "
" Gasp! You do? That is so LUCKY to live with your Veggie so you do not have to worry about bad things happening to
him while you're asleep. " Goku said, " But, what a-bout Chi-chan? "
" She works at a business in Orange City. " Vegeta 8 replied.
" Oh. " the large saiyajin said, then paused, " But wait, if Chi-chan and Gohan and Goten all live in Orange City,
and I live here with Veggie and the chibinized Ji-chan- "
" -and Gogeta. He's just asleep down the hall right now. " Goku 8 added in.
" -then...um, then...ahh? " Goku scratched his head, confused.
" Come other me, for I shall explain all! " Goku 8 grabbed his counterpart by the arm and jogged down the hall to a
set of semi-large doors.
" Whoa! " Goku let out a small noise before the door closed shut behind him.

" Now this, is a Veggie. " Goku 8 began as he stood next to a small box upon which Vegeta 8 stood on. Goku himself
sat on the edge of a very large bed covered in red sheets.
The ouji sweatdropped, " Must you do this THIS way? "
" Contrary to the rules, breaking them does not cause a Veggie to spontaniously combust, your head to explode, or a
black hole to appear in the center of the earth and destory us all. " he explained.
" What if it was a really big rule? " Goku asked, uneasy, " You know, like one of the first 3? "
Goku 8 and Vegeta 8 looked over at each other, then burst into laughter. Goku looked confused.
" Heeheeheehee- "
" BWAHAHAHA! Oh Kakarrotto you're so amusing. " Vegeta 8 chuckled.
" I..am? "
" Hai, Onna's "rules" are nothing more than a meaningless unpunishable list of the writings of a paranoid Earthling
who fears losing you to me. " Vegeta 8 walked up to him, then smirked, " If you were to break one the most you would get out
of Onna would be some spastic fit completed by her blacking out. "
" But Veggie number 8, breaking Chi-chan's rules would make her sad, just like me not having my little Veggie here
to hug makes ME sad. " Goku sniffled.
" Well then, let's try to break a rule that's a little higher up on the food chain, hm? " Vegeta 8 plopped himself
down onto Goku's lap, startling the larger saiyajin as he'd never seen Vegeta position himself there without the sole intent
of annoying Chi-Chi, " Now let me see your rulebook, Kakarrotto. "
" Umm, ah.. " Goku nervously reached for it while unsure what to do with the warm bundle on his lap, " Here. " he
held out an unusually thick book. Vegeta 8 took it and flipped through a few pages.
" Ah, here's a simple one to break and give you a small taste of how delicious life can be without you being
emotionally bound and gagged by this ridiculous not to-do list. Rule Number 8. "
" "Never hug Veggies for more than 3 minutes at a time". " Goku woodenly recited as if poorly reading a script out
loud.
" Now then let's give breaking that one a try. Hold onto me for 4 minutes, Kakarrotto. " the ouji held his arms out.
" OH! Oh no I can't! " Goku gasped, his face flushing pink, " I can't break the rules its not allowed its not allowed
at all! " his breathing intensified at the mere thought.
" Hn. " Vegeta 8 pouted, " Onna's got him trained good. "
" I will hug Veggie-chan for 4 minutes! " Goku 8 happily raised his hand.
" Alright, we'll do it that way. " Vegeta took something off the counter, " Here Kakarrotto, is a stopwatch. My
Kakarrotto is going to give me a hug and when he starts I want you to hit the start button on the watch. When the numbers
reach four minutes I want you to then hit the stop button so you can see that nothing bad can happen and that Onna's rules
are merely the stuff of superstition. " he walked up to Goku 8 who picked the ouji up and glomped him thusly.
Goku hit the button on the stopwatch and numbly stared between it and the two saiyajin before him.

" 15'00'00, 15'00'01, 15'00'02, " the stopwatch counted off while Goku continued to stare down below at a sight that
had just shattered part of the thick, steal, mental box of Rules he had obeyed since the start of the Kaka-war. About 10
minutes into the time his counterpart held Vegeta's counterpart they had moved to sit down on the bed, startling Goku who
had then stood up and backed away from that particular piece of furniture. They were both now laying on it, quietly hugging
each other.
" Umm..ah..I.. " Goku started to sweat. He dropped the stopwatch and nervously walked up to the two saiyajin. They
looked like they were almost ready to fall asleep while a purring noise echoed throughout the large room. Goku glanced
around uneasily, " I, I think I should go now. "
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
" Haha, yup. off I go. " he laughed nervously and left the room, closing the door behind him. A furious flushmark
lay over the bridge of Goku's nose, " Ohhhh, if only MY Veggie were here to make sense of all this and explain it to me! "
he exclaimed, then paused, " But I guess if Veggie WAS here then Veggie and I would've gone home 20 minutes ago and I
wouldn't have seen one of Chi-chan's rules challanged be-fore my very eyes. " Goku realized.
" So, how ya doin there, my fellow seme. "
" Huh? " Goku quickly turned to see Turles standing there sipping a soda, " Oh Turles it is so un-believably
confusing! Veggie number 8 and me number 8 have been hugging for 15 minutes straight! "
" Something wrong with that? " he smirked.
" Well, ah, yes! Yes there is! "
" You stumbled there for a moment. "
" I mean, it's against The Rules to hug Veggie for longer than 3 minutes because Chi-chan is afraid that non-platonic
thoughts will pop up in my head if hug for any longer than that. "
" Have they? "
" I..don't think so. " Goku felt an entire level of confusion hovering over him. He glanced back at the door and
peeked inside only to literally freeze in place, his pupils now taking up nearly his entire head, " Oh my... "
" Oh? " Turles glanced in for a moment, then thumbed through Chi-Chi's Rulebook, " Ah, Rule number 3 huh? "
" Oh MY... "
" Say as long as we're here, how about we stay for dinner! " the evil type-3 saiyajin grinned wickedly.
" OH MY... "
" Exactly! "

Dinner.
" ... " Goku sat there with a lost, utterly confused look on his face. On one side of him sat Turles and on the
other, Goku 8. All three fusions sat across from him and there was a seat next to Goku 8 for Vegeta 8 to sit.
" Hmhmmhmm.. " Goku 8 hummed casually as he relaxed in his seat.
" Um, ah, excuse me? "
The saiyajin looked over at Goku, " Yes? "
" I ah...me number 8, do you like living with Veggie 8? " he asked almost timidly, still shell-shocked from what he
had seen just ten minutes ago.
Goku 8 closed his eyes and let a large melodious purr rip.
Goku gawked at him, even more confused.
" Yeah. " he sighed contently, " I really like living with Veggie-chan. He doesn't judge me or force me to obey
ri-diculous rules. And he makes me so very happy. "
" But, what about Chi-chan? "
" ... " ▫
" I know both Chi-chan and Veggie have done bad things before, but I forgive them for it and I care about them both
very much. And I know they both really care about me. " Goku tried to explain.
" Are you saying you care for them both on the same level then? " Goku 8 cocked an eyebrow, " You love them both? "
" EEP! Do not say such things! " Goku gasped, " Veggies and that word are both in Rule Number 1, the biggest rule of
all! I could never ever EVER- "
" -think of Veggie-chan that way? " Goku 8 finished for him.
" Hai. " Goku looked down glumly, " I am so confused. What should I do? I am not even sure WHAT I think. "
" Well you should figure that out first of all. " Goku 8 turned to him, " You gotta push out all the stuff that
Chi-Chi says you should think and all the stuff Veggie-chan says you should think and then you will be left with your answer;
what you really think and who you really care about the very most, who you love. "
" Is that what you did and you came out with, Veggie? " Goku asked, avoiding direct eye-contact on the word "Veggie".
" No, I just followed my instincts on that! " he said cheerfully.
Goku sweatdropped.
" Umm, you see I was not under Chi-Chi's rules for very long...only a couple years, not over a decade like you. "
Goku 8 explained further.
His counterpart nodded quietly, then paused and glanced around, " Hey, where is Veggie number 8? "
" Here we are! "
The group looked over to see Vegeta 8 standing there holding a little saiyajin toddler in his arms.
" Look who came down for dinner? It's Gogeta-kun. " the ouji said placing the toddler in a high-chair.
Gogeta glanced past to see his counterpart, surprised.
" You're a baby? " Vejitto whispered to him, equally surprised as the dance fusion.
" I'm a, baby.. " Gogeta cocked his head.
Vegeta 8 went over to grab the food off the counter and started to dish it out to the others.
" Heh. " Turles smirked.
" Umm, Veggie number 8? " Goku raised his hand.
" You don't need to do that here, Kakarrotto. This isn't school or Onna's house or anything. " Vegeta 8 smiled
warmly at him.
Goku's face flushed and he instantly pulled his arm down, " Veggie number 8, why is Goggie number 8 a baby? "
" Actually he turns a year old this May. " the ouji placed Gogeta 8's food infront of him, " Isn't that right,
Gogeta-kun. " the small saiyajin said sweetly to the toddler.
" Mommy! " the toddler chirped.
" ! " Gogeta cocked his head in confusion, then turned to Vegeta 8, " YOU are me 8's "Mommy"! "
" Ironically, yes. " Vegeta 8 laughed nervously.
" I guess that means I win this timeline huh? " Vejitto chirped.
" Hai. " Gogeta nodded, " But I won the last... " he whipped out a mini notebook and flipped through it, " Well I
won 3 of 'um. And you have won..3 as well. "
" For timelines 1, and 7 are un-determinable! " the portara fusion announced.
" What are you talking about? " Vejitto 8 asked curiously, peeking over to see the notebook.
" Here chibi me, I'll show you... "
Goku watched on as Vegeta 8 fed the little fusion-toddler, Gogeta squealing with excitement at the sight of food and
rapidly devouring it. He smiled, :Haha, it kinda reminds me of Chi-chan and Gohan:
" So, do you have any leads? "
" Huh? " Goku said, confused and coming out of wherever his mind had wandered off to.
" Do you have any leads on where your Veggie ran off to? " Goku 8 asked him.
He frowned, " No, I mean, not really. We think maybe Veggie might've gone off somewhere to get me a special present
for Veggietine's Day, so we checked outer space and then we checked all the timelines in order, and since Veggie isn't here..
oh me number 8 I don't know where else he could BE! " Goku gushed, worried, " I thought maybe Veggie would come back in a few
days but it has been almost 3 weeks and Veggietine's Day is TOMMOROW! "
" Mmmmm, I know I've been marking off the days on my calander.. " Goku 8 said, glancing down across the table.
Goku sniffled, then sweatdropped to see his counterpart staring at Vegeta's. The large saiyajin poked him in the
shoulder, " Umm, me number 8? "
" What huh! " he turned back to face Goku, " Ah, sorry 'bout that I kinda spaced out after that second sentence
around "Veggietine's Day". " Goku 8 smiled sheepishly.
" It's alright. " he replied. Goku stared down at the table before him, " You know, I don't think I even want a
Veggietine's Day present anymore. I just want my Veggie to come home. I hope he isn't mad at me. I hope I didn't do something
wrong to make him leave like that without telling anyone he was going or where he was going. I don't know what I'd do if
Veggie never came back. " the large saiyajin's eyes were welled up with tears.
" Hey, don't worry I'm sure your Veggie isn't mad at you. " Goku 8 said comfortingly, " Veggie could never get mad
at you. You're his favorite peasant. "
Goku put his arms on the table and leaned the side of his head against them, " ... "
Goku 8 motioned to Vegeta 8, who looked over from feeding Gogeta.
" Oh! " he handed the food to Goku 8 who went to take his place feeding the toddler. Vegeta 8 sat in his place,
" Hey there Kakay. "
" ▫Sniffle▫ " the larger saiyajin glanced over at the ouji, " Veggie tell me Veggie'll come back? "
Vegeta 8 rubbed Goku's back, " Of course he will, Kakarrotto. I would never leave you. "
Goku squinted his eyes shut and let the salty liquid run down his face.

" So, how's that? Do you feel a little better? "
The larger saiyajin nodded, " A little. "
Goku was currently having his back rubbed by Vegeta 8 as he sat at the kitchen table. The others had finished dinner
and Goku 8 offered to show them around. He was surprised to overhear Vejitto 8 had been wished into existance on the dragon
balls by his own counterpart. Goku glanced over at Gogeta who was asleep in his baby-carrier, still confused on how he could
be here and in toddler form.
" Whenever I think about Veggie too much at one time my head gets all confused. And I've been thinking about Veggie
an awful lot lately since he disappeared. "
" Well its only natural when someone suddenly disappears to worry about them. " Vegeta 8 replied.
" I know but- "
The ouji tilted his head.
" -I dunno. " Goku looked away.
" You can say whatever you want here Kakarrotto, this timeline has no rules. " Vegeta 8 said comfortingly.
" I don't know what to say. " he answered honestly, " I just know there's lots of stuff I need to think over. "
" I'm sure you'll figure it out, Kakarrotto. You're very good at that. I have a lot of faith in you. " the hands
moved up to rub his shoulders.
" But, what if I can't find Veggie? Or Veggie can't find his way home? What'll I do if I never find out what
happened to him or never see him ever again! " Goku cried out.
" Hmmph. That's that unsureity and doubt planted in your head by Onna and her redundent rules. " Vegeta 8 snorted,
then bent down and stared directly at Goku, " You're Kakarrotto. You can accomplish anything if you try! You've saved me
multiple times from several different types of doom. "
" You really think I can find my Veggie, Veggie 8? "
" I KNOW you can, Kakarrotto. " he said determindly.
" ▫GLOMP▫! " Goku hugged the little ouji tightly, " Oh THANK YOU, Veggie number 8! "
" Ah, you're welcome, ▫SNIIIIFF▫ Kakarrotto. " Vegeta 8 sighed, dazed.
Goku blinked, " Did you just sniff me? "
" You always smell so inviting, Kakarrotto-chan. " the ouji murmured, content, " My favorite peasant, so big and
strong and long-lasting.. "
" EEP! " Goku lightly pushed the ouji off him and jumped back, his face bright pink, " RULE NUMBER 7, VEGGIE! RULE
NUMBER 7! " he frantically waved his arms about in the air, then promptly covered his ears and began to shake, " "No
non-platonically enticing remarks are to be made between Veggies and me". " the large saiyajin recited as if it'd been
stamped across his brain.
" How ya doin' there, champ? " Turles grinned wickedly, poking his head into the room.
" WAHHH I WANNA GO HOME AND MAKE THE NAUGHTY THOUGHTS STOP! "
" HAH! That's Chi-Chi talking! Look how happy this timeline's versions of yourself and Vegeta-san are. Stand up to
The Rules, Kakarrotto! " Turles pointed at him.
" NO I CAN'T! CHI-CHAN WILL GET MAD AT ME! " he bawled.
" What about what YOU want? "
" I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT! "
Vegeta 8 was quiet, " I'm sorry Kakarrotto. "
Goku looked over at him.
" I didn't mean to make you upset. "
" Oh Veggie, oh Veggie I'm not upset. Not at you I could never get upset with my Veggie. " he choked out pleadingly.
Turles and Vegeta 8 glanced worriedly at each other. Goku was looking at thin air.
" Kakarrotto? Over here Kakarrotto? " Vegeta 8 snapped his fingers. Goku turned to face the sound, " I'm, I'm over
here Kakay. "
" ▫Sniffle▫ " Goku rubbed his nose, " I am sorry. Sometimes it just feels like there's these 2 little voices arguing
with each other in my head and they sound a lot like Chi-chan and Veggie and I'm just so CONFUSED...I'll try what you said
though, or, or what me number 8 said, I'm not sure which one of you it was; who told me to try to drown both those voices out
so I'll be left with MY opinions and what I think rather than what they think I should think which was not healthy for me."
Vegeta 8 smiled warmly, " Well that's good to know, Kakarrotto. Call me and tell me how it works out, after you try
it. "
Goku smiled back, " I will, Veggie number 8. "
" How about a little peck goodbye? " Vegeta 8 grinned.
" WAHH! NO! " Goku yelped in fright, his face glowing bright pink.
Turles frowned, " Oh well at least you tried. "
The ouji nodded, " That's all I can do. "

" Well, I guess we'll be heading back now! " Vejitto said cheerfully, " We'd stay longer but Toussan doesn't look so
good. " he shook his head at Goku, who sat in the time machine and was sweating at an unusually fast pace.
" Aw, we're gonna miss you, older alternate timeline versions of niichan and ototochan. " Bura 8, who had dark,
jet-black colored hair, much darker pupils than Bura 1, slightly thicker bangs and ponytail, and wore a melon colored
t-shirt and aqua pants, pouted. Beside her stood Vejitto 8 and Trunks 8. Trunks 8 had the same coloring as Trunks 1, with
the exception of his Yamchafied facial features.
" We're gonna miss you too, non-pink-obsessed Bura. " Gogeta happily replied, " And Trunks 8 and Chibi Jitto! "
" Hee- " Vejitto 8 grinned.
Goku watched his own counterparts; Vegeta 8 was plopped onto Goku 8's back as if piggy-back-riding him.
" Goodluck on your journey, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta 8 said slyly.
Goku instantly ducked down out of view and started to shudder in confusion.
" No need to worry like that, Kakarrotto. " Turles chuckled, getting into the ship followed by Gogeta and Vejitto,
" I'm sure once you sort your thoughts out it will all become clear. "
" All become clear...? " Goku murmured.
" Uh-huh. " Turles nodded, then gave him a pat on the back, " You just think that all over for a while, hm? "
" Umm, o-oh-kay. "
" Good. That's my fellow type-3 saiyajin. And now we're OFF! " he started up the machine.
" BYEBYE OTHER ME! " chibi Vejitto waved excitedly.
" BAIBAI! " Gogeta 8 chirped.
The time machine rose into the air and vanished in a bright flash of light equal to that of 100 camera flashes going
off at once.
" Well, that was an interesting bunch. " Goku 8 nodded, then sighed, " Shame their Veggie-chan is missing, I'd like
to help convince him of a few things. "
Vegeta 8 sweatdropped, " Let him go, he's enjoying his platonic semehood, best to let it last. " he smiled
reminiscently.
Goku 8 cocked an eyebrow, " You don't really miss things being that way, do you? "
" HAH! Not a snowball's chance in hell. " Vegeta 8 hopped over Goku 8's shoulders and into his arms, " Now off we
go! To the room! "
" Haha! YAY! " Goku 8 cheered and dashed them up the stairs.

" ▫FWOOOSH!▫ " the time machine reappeared in Timeline number 1, landing gently on the living room floor.
" GOKU-SAN! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, running up to him as he climbed out of the time machine, " How was it? It wasn't
anything too horrible was it? Do you need the brain-freezer? "
" Oh Chi-chan, my head hurts. " Goku glomped onto her, " It feels like somebody choped off a piece put it in a
blender and then pressed "on"! "
" Ohhhh, I'm so sorry! I knew I shouldn't have let you go. " Chi-Chi frowned.
" Aw, do not worry Chi-chan, I'm alright. " he pulled away slightly, " I met a chibi Ji-chan and a baby Goggie and
Bura was a brunette. "
" When did that happen? " Bura blinked confused as she passed by.
" Did you see, umm, anything unusual? " Mirai offered, uneasy.
" Ah, I uh, I saw some things. " Goku looked away, his face starting to flush, " B-but it wasn't anything a-bove
PG-13, so I guess I'm alright. "
" What did you see that was PG-13? " Chi-Chi demanded.
" ...A TELEVISION COMMERCIAL FOR A MOVIE RATED AS SUCH. " Goku said loudly.
" You're lying. "
" Yes. " Goku pouted, then spoke up, " Did Veggie happen to suddenly land his Capsule 3 ship back home while I was
gone and is now safely tucked in his little Veggie bed in his Veggie room waiting for me to come in and give him a good
evening hug? "
" No. "
" Ohh. " Goku hung his head, then perked up, " Well-well I'm sure that Veggie will be back tommorow intime for
Veggietine's Day! Veggie's never missed it before. "
Chi-Chi's face fell in fear of disappointing him. She hugged back tightly, " OH GOKU-SAN! "
" ? " Goku blinked, confused.
" SON-KUN! " Bulma called, rushing out of her office and to the top of the top of the stairs, " Vegeta just called me
on his cellphone! "
" ... " Goku stood there blankly, then burst into ssj2 and let out an excited squeal, " EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! "
" ACK! " Chi-Chi yelped as Goku's hug suddenly became ten times more intense, " Goku..sa...too tight...crushing...
ribs...pain..please let go. "
" ▫FWOOSH▫! " in a millisecond she was released and wobbled backward as Goku flew up the stairs and loomed anxiously
over Bulma, " WHATDHESAYWHATDHESAY! IsVeggiecominghomesoonwheredidhegoisheohkaycanItalktohim? "
" Ah... " Bulma shook her head, mind-blown from the sudden hyperactivity of the larger saiyajin before her,
" Actually, he didn't say anything. "
" ... " Goku stopped bouncing, " Huh? "
" He sorta called, started to say my name and then hung up on me. I tried to call him back but he shut his cellphone
off. " she finished.
" ...oh. " Goku pouted, then got an idea, " Can you trace Veggie's call so I can find out where he is? "
Bulma sweatdropped, " You can't do that with cellphones. I'd have to hack into the cell-phone company's satelite
to- "
Goku stared at her with big watery eyes.
" -and that would be illegal. "
" ... " ▫
" I could get sued and sent to jail. "
" OH. "
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
" He'll come back on his own, Son-kun. No need to worry. At least he called and we know he's alive. "
" You thought Veggie was DEAD! " Goku gasped with horror.
Bulma froze, " Ah, NO, no Son-kun! I'd never think that. I mean, he might even be home for Veggietine's Day
tommorow, maybe with a nice big gift especially for you. " she tried to comfort him.
" Veggie is the only nice big gift I want. " Goku pouted, fiddling with his gi shirt.
" Oh..kay.. " Bulma said, slightly freaked out, " Well, how about you go get some rest and maybe Veggie will be here
the next morning to wish you a Happy Veggietine's Day. "
" YEAH! " the larger saiyajin gushed, then paused. Something in the back of his mind still didn't settle right with
the concept that Vegeta was going to be back tommorow. Infact it didn't believe it at all. Goku blocked this thought out,
however, " Come on Chi-chan! We gotta go to bed so I can wake up tommorow morning and see my VEGGIE again! " he took her by
the hand, " I have so many things to ask him! And so many many things to tell him! Oh VEGGIE I can't wait! "

And so, Veggietine's Day arrived.
" ▫HUFF▫ ▫HUFF▫ ▫HUFF▫... "
" -Danger Level 10, meltdown imminent- "
" Shuddup, don't you think I know that. " Veggy groaned in pain as he stood before the sidewalk that led up to
Capsule Corp. The saiyajin android staggered up to the front step and shakily raised his arm. After much effort his fingers
finally formed a fist which he repeatedly slammed against the front door several times, " Please, someone, open, the door. "
Electrical charges surged lightly around his body as Veggy fell to his knees, panting heavily, " Please...Bulma, Vegeta, I
need help. PLEASE. " his vision started to fade into pixelated imagery before him. A light-headedness overcame the android
as he fell over onto his side, hitting the pavement just as the sun began to rise.

END OF PART 4
Chuquita: (grins) And so much more yet to go...
Vegeta: Now aren't you glad you ended this chapter where you wanted to end it, even though its now insanely long.
Chuquita: Haha, yeah. :) (to audiance) You wouldn't mind if I uploaded this chapter on a Saturday, would you? I normally
don't upload on the weekends because everybody's weekend schedule is different than their weekday schedule, but I got
knocked back almost two days due to being scheduled for work both of my long school days this week.
Vegeta: (sips his soda) Understandable, you don't make the schedules for that.
Chuquita: (nervous laugh) Nope.
Goku: WOW...93.2kb...
Chuquita: And I haven't even gotten to the reviewer-replies yet.
Brolli: Perhaps you should get to them now?
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) I was planning on doing that.
To Wolfcrysta: Glad the fic cheered you up :) Lol, he's got 8 of 'um total, not counting possible-future Veggie. Heh, I'm
sure there's lots of ways he could be punished for kidnapping Veggie.
To The "Artist": Actually I do have a scenero for an original fiction fic. I have lots of details to work out but I have
the basics of it. Heh, if I actually do get this mini-fic written I'll upload it on da and I could actually see if I can
get it in our school's student original fiction/poetry book that they print out two times a year; I've gotten stuff
published in there before. Aw, glad ya like it! I have a few things I'm going to try to prevent the quick-edit problem, one
of them has to do with word and the other has to do with pasting; I'll try both and see what happens.
To Hakura0: Oh-kay! That's what they're going to try in the next chapter. First they checked the alternate timelines, then
the possible future, then Baba, then Kaio-sama and Enma. LOL, sounds funny. I don't know what my next Piccolo oneshot's
plot will be though.
To RyukoVulpix: I have an idea on how to fix it, hopefully the ! will appear in this chapter correctly. It was fun to go
back and update what all the other timelines are doing now. Heh, it has been a long time; "Mind Over Matter" is two years
old now. Poor Veggie indeed. It would be cool if this fic gave me a new record in number of chapters. It might with how
much more of the fic I have left to type up; not to mention this chapter is the size of two normal-sized chapters.
To hieilover135: Yup, they're both very sneaky. The mini-fics? They're just little scene blurbs so they're not that hard to
write, its not like an actual fic where I have to have a plotline 'n everything :)
Brolli: (waves his fist in the air) Yeah! You tell 'um!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops)
Brolli: (smirks) My reasons for liking Vejita so much were explained in this chapter; having a mostly sad and lonely
childhood while, as a toddler, seeing someone who seemed even more depressed than myself-Kakarrotto-be able to become happy
with Vejita around caused me to believe that having Vejita around would make me happy as well.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) At least you have a reason and understand why.
(both look over at Goku)
Goku: (happily) I like Veggie cuz he makes me smile:)
Brolli: (sweatdrops) That's not a reason.
Goku: It is to me! (grins)
Brolli: I hug Vejita because after spying on him for so long I assume its what you do to people you like.
Goku: And I hug Veggie because I like to hug Veggie! And Veggie's warm!
To tea: Heh, I promise to make the next chapter normal-sized (50 to 60kb) so I can update fast again. Glad you like the other
timelines. Poor Veggie, he really wants to train so badly. Brolli's afraid Veggie will get hurt because their huge rift in
power causes him to think Veggie isn't that strong to begin with, not to mention Veggie's a lot smaller than him and Brolli
can't sense ki. Plushie's fun (glomps Plushie). I'll try!
To JustSomeGuy: Veggie should definately be careful with out much stronger than him Brolli is. I liked being able to visit
the other timelines; some of which haven't been brought up for two years. Chapter-wise this should definately be the longest.
Here it is!
To BlackDragonFury: That he is :)
Goku: (hugging the Veggie plushie) Aww, thank u so much! You have such a cute little Veggie-plushie :)
Vegeta: (gently pokes Goku plushie) Uh-h-hello.
Goku-Plushie: (squeaks from being poked)
Vegeta: (face flushes red)
To BlackDragonFury: It would be fun to break my chapter record, however I'd have to have 7 to break it. "Veggienapped", my
first fic, is 6 chapters long.
Vegeta: (smirks) Why thank you. (tugs on his seme shirt) It's so nice to have people supporting my semehood. :)
To Cathowl: (sweatdrops) Aw, don't worry, no more nightmares for Goku, at least for the time being. Veggy should be fixed by
the next chapter. Heh, Kakarrotto's revenge plan :D Ah, he can't go ssj? Ironically, Veggie could be cloned again, but after
what Brolli's done I doubt Bulma would make one for him. He is very hard to kill. It took them two movies to do it. Lol,
not easily onvertible to insults. Mirai Goku and Mirai Veggie might come up again. I like the whole Mirai Veggie messes with
Mirai's head as to what his relationship to Mirai Goku is. Poor Bardock. (sweatdrops). Aww, Kakarrotto liked the part with
Vegeta G. Hee, every once in a while I like to break the fourth wall. Yup, that particular Goku is fixed a little bit.
Actually Veggie hurting himself in the gravity room happened in one of the pre-android eps. He turned the gravity up too
high and the entire Capsule 3 ship blew up so Bulma and Yamcha had to pull him out of the rubble. He ended up with bandages
around both arms, his chest, and his head. I dunno if he really broke anything or not but Dr. Briefs had him on a resperator
so... Ah, half-uke and half-seme. Poor Bardock, poor wall. Corner-Veggie is having fun. lol! His word. That'd be an
interesting robot. Oh, permanently. Hai, I understand. I get ideas of inventions but since I have no idea how to make them I
simply use them in my fics instead. Glad you liked it!
To Felix McKadden: Aww, thank you so much! Happy it made you laugh. :D You're welcome!
To GogetaJr: I wanted to cheer Goku up a little after losing his Veggie, which is why I used the dream sequence :) There's a
reason Turles was unable to detect Brolli's ship; it'll be explained in a future chapter. Hai, though Chi-Chi's more worried
about Goku's sanity and emotional stability, that's why she doesn't want Veggie to turn up dead or lost forever. Glad you
liked the shirt. It should be about 6 chapters. At least I think.
To Chibi Mirai Gogeta: That's true, Goku 4 is feeling a little better now. He's got a long way to go though. Veggie'll try
to escape Brolli and the dresses in the next chapter. Well, he is the densetsu, and he was as strong at age 2 as Veggie was
during the saiyajin saga. Veggie would've tried to prevent Turles from going to timeline 8, had he been there :D Thanks!
To dakarne: Aw, I don't think I'll use ssj5, but ssj4 will definately be used in the big battle. Thanks for the suggestion
though :)
To Albino Black Sheep: Brolli can handle lots of x gravity because of his densetsu powers :) Hai, he's very lonely and going
about it the wrong way. Heh, long chapter, I hope you like it.
To dglsprincess105: Hee- aw, thanks! This is definately one of my favorite fics to write. Veggie just can't escape them,
can he? Hai, Brolli is kinda tragic. Goku's only acting slightly obsessive because Veggie left without telling him he was
going or where he was going. The timelines were fun, I liked visiting them; some I haven't visited in two years. You'll find
out in this chapter :) Everyone forgave him, but he still has a long way to go before things start to feel normal again.
The subject of the germs and Veggie's lack of repel will be mentioned in the next chapter. Aw, thanks so much:D
To Little-monkey-girl: Hee, poor Veggie indeed. He has several more of those he'll be stuck in before the fic's over. Some
of the timelines; 4 through 6; are fairly old. I've never used timeline 7 before but that one exists because its an official
Toriyama-created timeline. Timeline 8 is the the most recently created timeline, though date-wise, not fic-wise. :)
To Deepcoiler: Thanks! Heh, I so can't wait to write the Evil Shenlongs parody fic; though I have to get through the Super 17
one first. LOL. I'm not sure Piccolo would want to do that, he doesn't seem like he's a big fan of fusing. He was worried
he'd lose his personality when he fused with Nail and he didn't want to fuse with Kami because he just doesn't like him.
Well the dragonballs were used recently, so... Aw, I couldn't drop him off on one of the other Veggies. Besides some of their
timelines have their own versions of Brolli.
Vegeta: Ah, so I'm able to wish sometime smited, eh? (smirks)
Goku: SUPER-BIG-VEGGIE-PLUSHIE! (glomps it) Awww...it's so soft...
To Sinah: Ah, 6 page essays...I wish you good luck. Writing essays drives me crazy. I prefer to be graded on multiple choice
tests. (grins). Hee, ya know "Mind Over Matter" was originally written because I had so many people who requested a fic
about that timeline after that particular Goku and Veggie appeared in "Happily Ever After". Apparently its a popular timeline
. I'd like to do something more with it because of the cliffhanger it ended on so I've added that fic idea to my future-fics
list. :) Poor Veggie. At least he's trying to fight back. Don't worry, they'll find out what happened to Veggie soon. Hope
you like it.
To SupersayiankingTommy: Aw, its oh-kay. Yeah, that Goku was scary. Veggie is immortal but he still gets tired. Also previous
to this chapter he didn't know the layout of the ship. He doesn't want to fight Brolli outright because Brolli's so strong
that instead of killing Veggie he would instead end up in a vegetative state which could be even worse. Buu has a brother?
Cool. :D What's Duu look like? Later!
To ShiningMoon: I wish they sold Veggie-gloves at one of the stores in the mall. There is a Toys R Us right next to the mall
a few minutes away, but I'm still not completely comfortable driving on the highways, so... Heehe, the Veggie gloves sound
fun. Timeline 4...basically its a timeline where Chi-Chi tried to get Goku to use his ki mentally rather than physically. He
was able to make things appear and disappear by thinking about them. Unfortunately Veggie came by and got into an arguement
with Chi-Chi. Goku got upset at her and accidentally wished her to disappear. He had a breakdown after losing her and Bulma
had Veggie stay with Goku until she could create something to put a stop to his new power. Goku couldn't figure out how to
bring Chi-Chi back so he started overusing his power and abusing it until he wished away nearly everyone who tried to come
up to Mount Paozu to help him, leaving Veggie trapped there. Yup! You're the 2nd person to suggest a fic dealing with what
happens next in that timeline. I put that fic-idea on my future fics list and will definately write it. Well, Veggie did
sort of solve both those problems, he snuck into the gravity room and cut his training uniform to more resemble the one he
normally would wear. Hope you like it:D
To Nekoni: Hai, it has been a while since that word's popped up. He's very scary. At least Veggie tried to fight him this
time. Glad you liked timeline 2. Considering Mirai Goku and Mirai Veggie's situation she wasn't that surprised. I dunno.
(sweatdrops). They'll become friends again eventually, they just have a long way to go before being able to trust each other
again. I hoped you like the trip to Timeline 8. I couldn't make it as powerful as the last time because "Ai" didn't have a
rating to it and was on the geocities space instead of here. The influence to Goku will be noticable in upcoming chapters.
I'd like to draw Brolli's spaceship but only have a fuzzy image of the outside of it. I could draw actual rooms and hallways
inside the ship though. That he is. Veggie will try in the next chapter. That's cuz he's the densetsu, which is why Veggie's
so afraid of him. Goku really misses Veggie, just wait til Veggietine's Day. Hee, can't reveal the ending, that'd be a
spoiler.
Vegeta: (looks down at arrow lodged in his chest) Oww. (promptly grabs blindfold and blindfolds himself)
Goku: (sweatdrops) Veggie?
Vegeta: (twitches) Curse her... (turns to face Goku) Kakarrotto!
Goku: Yes Veggie?
Vegeta: I need you to get some of that antidote to this arrow!
Goku: Oh-kay! (nods determindly) You can count on me Veggie! (suddenly pauses) ...um, Veggie?
Vegeta: Hai?
Goku: (sheepish grin) What was the antidote to the Veggietine's Day arrows again?
Vegeta: WAHHH! (falls over) (jumps back to his feet, slightly frightened) HOW CAN YOU NOT REMEMBER SUCH A THING!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Come on Veggie, Veggietine's Day 1 happened three years ago. You can't expect him to remember-
Vegeta: (grabs her by the collar) (panicked) YOU wrote it YOU GO LOOK IT UP!
Chuquita: Ah-
Vegeta: (lets go of her) (starts to nervously pace back and forth) I can't risk seeing Kakarrotto and having the effects of
this arrow inacted! Who KNOWS how much stronger they'll be with how far along the kaka-germ road I am now!
Goku: (lifts blindfold off Veggie's face) What kaka-germ road?
Vegeta: (eyes widen at the sight of him) WAAAAAAAAHHHHH! YOU FOOL! KNOCK ME UNCONSIOUS BEFORE I DO SOMETHING NON-PLATONIC TO
YOU! QUICK!
Goku: Uh..ahh... (lightly twacks Veggie across the head, causing Veggie to hit the floor, unconsious) Did I win?
Chuquita: (pokes the unconsious Veggie) I think so.
Goku: (picks him up) Poor little Veggie. (hugs Veggie tightly)
Brolli: (confused) Umm, what was that arrow and why did it melt when it hit Vejita?
Goku: (narrows his eyes angrily at Brolli while holding Veggie protectively) That is none of your business, Big Meanie!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Ah, (to audiance) see you sometime next week everybody. (waves)
Goku: I wonder how long Veggie's gonna be out?
