Quote of the Week: -from dbz song "Love is Like a Ballad" ♥ -Vegeta's Theme- (Expert Translation)
Why do we train in this art?
Why do we battle so passionately
If it all means nothing in the end.
The morning wind, the evening rain
The smile you give me is always warm
Like a ballad
For the sake of love, for the sake of dreams
And a friendship we have grown
Here I am
Offering myself completely if we can be together

Chuey's Corner:
Vegeta: ..platonically.
Goku: (sweatdrops) ...
Chuquita: (happily) Welcome to Part 8, everybody!
Vegeta: (to Chu) Did you get the repel?
Chuquita: (eating a candy bar) The what?
Vegeta: o.O
Chuquita: OH! (looks down at the candy bar) (nervous laugh) It appears I got sidetracked.
Vegeta: (twitches) It appears you have.
Chuquita: Say did you know we have a vending machine down the hall? I never really noticed it til I went by just now..
Vegeta: IDONTCARE! Just go get the peasant-repel before it completely wears off and I lose control of my inhibitions!
Goku: (blinks) In-hee-bih-tions?
Chuquita: (gets up) Oh-kay oh-kay, I'm going this time. (walks off)
Vegeta: (sighs in relief) Na seta lo pobbe.
Brolli: (frowns) Poor Vejita's head is hurting him.
Goku: Is that what Veggie said?
Brolli: Pretty much.
Vegeta: (annoyed) (to Brolli) Seenka deh bonomi ita el saneto dro, yaro.
Brolli: It appears Vejita doesn't want me to translate everything he's saying in saiyago and he's only using his native tongue so he can put more of his concentration upon warding off the effects of the arrow.
Goku: Ahh...I want to learn Veggiego.
Vegeta: (rubs his head, starting to get sweaty) Ohhhhh..
Goku: Veggie?
Vegeta: (glances over at him, smirks, then knocks Goku out of his chair and pins him to the ground) Heh- Kakarrotto.
Goku: (eyes widen in shock) OHHHhhhhhhh...
Brolli: (stands up, upset) VEJITA!
Chuquita: (happily) I'm back! (blinks) ...
Goku: OhhhhhOHHHHhhhhhhhhh, I am in such moral conflict right now, Chu. Veggie is so nice and warm, but it is against the rules for Veggie to do such things with me.
Chuquita: (looks down at Goku and sweatdrops) Here we go. (opens bottle of industral-strength peasant-repel all over Veggie's head)
Vegeta: (head is no soaking wet) (blinks for a moment) Oh. (to Chu) Thank you.
Chuquita: (grins) Don't mention it! (caps the spray-bottle)
Vegeta: (looks down) Hey! Look I'm ontop! I'm platonic-seme! (wags his tail, entertained)
Goku: (flushing pink) V..Veggie?
Vegeta: Hm? Oh! (hops off of him) (smirks) May I help you up, favorite peasant of mine?
Goku: (nods slightly) (holds arm out)
Vegeta: (pulls him up) Hup!
Goku: (falls forward onto Veggie)
Vegeta: (yelps in uke-phobic shock) ACK! (pushes Goku so he's standing up straight) Uh heh-heh..heh. (to Chu) Start the chapter..please?
Chuquita: Oh-kay! (to audiance) And now, here's Part 8!

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?

:" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! " Vegeta screamed in agony as he fell violently down the seemingly endless black hole. A
throbbing that had started dull was now pounding and pulsating across his mind. Despite the pain he felt extremely
light-headed. His body landed with a thump on an nonexistant ground, " Where am I. Who..am I dead? Did that jewelry of
his electrocute me? Oh I bet Onna'd love that one. The great and powerful saiyajin no ouji, fried to death while naked by
renagade headpiece. " Vegeta stumbled to his feet. He took a better look at his surroundings, which weren't much different
than a large puddle of ink, " I reiterate. Where AM I? " he said, disturbed. Something suddenly shot through his head and
Vegeta grabbed either side, " AARG! Nango did you feel that! "
Vegeta's tail lay limp on the ground behind him. The ouji stared at it, worried, " What..? "
Three more shots. Each feeling the size of a hair only infinately longer. The ouji whimpered and was suddenly aware
that he know no longer remembered the name of the mountain Kakarrotto lived on. Panic surged through his body. Another shot.
What floor was his own bedroom on at Capsule..Corp? And what did it look like? " HOW COULD I NOT REMEMBER MY OWN ROOM! " the
ouji cried out. A word popped into his mind. Reformatting. One time one of Bulma's computers had gotten infected with bad
files. Vegeta had come into the lab to ask her something and she'd explained what she was doing, reformatting the hard drive.
Erasing all the bad stuff and replacing it with something new, " Is that what he's doing? " the ouji squeaked out in his
rarely-used "little" voice, " He's REFORMATTING MY BRAIN! " Vegeta yelped, then quickly searched his various mental
barriers and was horrified to find they were currently in the process of being eaten away by some foreign, neon green goo,
" Ah..ah...I can't reach my mind barriers while I'm unconsious! WAKE UP DAMMIT! " he punched himself in the gut only to let
out a painful cough instead, " WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SUCH A HEAVY SLEEPER! "
" ▫PING▫PING▫PING▫! "
Now he couldn't remember the name of the city he lived in. Vegeta broke out into a cold sweat. He quickly searched
out his biggest strongest barrier; the one that surrounded all kaka-related knowledge and feelings, " So I forget a couple
names of locations, big deal. But I refuse to let you even touch a hair of my kaka-knowledge! I REFUSE to forget Kakarrotto!"
" ▫PIONG▫! " a shot tried to hit the barrier only to bounce off.
" HAHA! SUCCESS! " Vegeta cried out in hysterical victory, not paying attention to the fact that other parts of his
memory were in the middle of being attacked, " REFORMAT THAT, YARO! " he shook his fist in the air. He smiled, very happy
he had gone into that blue-hairred woman's room. What kind of room? Wait, was she his girlfriend? His wife? Did he have any
children? What was Earth again? Her name? No. Vegeta struggled and shook his head. Shivers flew down his spine, " Oh-kay,
calm down. I'm alright. My name is Vegeta Oujisama. I'm the great and powerful saiyajin no ouji, prince of Bejito-sei which
was destroyed by Freeza who kidnapped me from my parents however it was restored recently thanks to the dragon balls and
Kakarrotto making a wish upon them. " he said outloud to himself for reassurance, " Right. That's it. Kakarrotto. Just focus
on Kakarrotto. " he then started to nervously chant the larger saiyajin's name over and over again in his mind like a mantra,
:Kakarrotto Kakarrotto Kakarrotto Kakarrotto Kakarrotto. Gotta survive this, Gotta save Kakarrotto. Can't forget him. Can't
let him forget me. So many things to tell him. So many things that need to be said! Kakarrotto Kakarrotto KAKARROTTO I L..- "
" ▫FWOOOSH▫! " several hundred of the thin shots fired at the barrier at once. Vegeta collapsed to the ground
instantly as if someone had snapped his neck. He felt deathly pale and his eyes bugged out of his head as he mouthed out the
last two words of a sentence which he no longer knew his reason for speaking.

" VEGGIE! " Goku cried out as he bolted out of his nap, panting. He was still wearing his saiyajin armor as he
clutched onto the sheets of Vegeta's bed which he was currently sleeping in. Bibishii was shivering in fright.
" Kakarroujo? "
Goku peered over the front of his bed to see Bura standing infront of it holding three plushies in her arms, her
Goku and Vegeta ones; dressed in oujo and ouji uniforms respectively; along with one of Trunks's monster plushies. She'd
picked the green one on purpose.
" Are you, oh-kay? " she asked, worried.
" Veggie's in danger... " Goku squeaked out in horror, " Something bad is happening to my Veggie right now I just
know it! "
Bura gulped, then laughed nervously, " Well, no need to worry about it. I'm sure that Toussan can beat whatever the
Big Meanie throws at him. "
" You really think little Veggie can beat the Big Meanie? " Goku said, his eyes begging it to be true.
" Of course! Afterall you don't think he'd just put that "great and powerful" before his title all the time without
a good reason, do you? " the demi-saiyajin grinned.
Goku nodded in agreement.
" See? Everything's gonna be just fine. AND to help you feel better, I've made up a motivational What-if
Plushie-play! " she grinned.
" I have one too. " Turles said from the doorway, holding a Goku and Vegeta plushie as well. His Goku plushie was
dressed in saiyajin armor with an orange cape while the Vegeta plushie was wearing a little pink dress.
" Mine's better. " Bura whispered to Goku.
" I HEARD THAT. "
" ... " she sweatdropped, " Now where was I? OH! " Bura plunked the three plushies down on the bed infront of Goku.
" Bwahaha! I've got you now, Vejita! " the monster plushie "said".
" HA HA! That's what you think! Behold the awesome power of my Big Bang Attack, Big Meanie! YAAAAAAH! " Bura
swatted the monster-plushie across the room and straight into the wall using the Vegeta plushie, " That was EASY for the
Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ouji! He was foolish to challange my superior royal saiyajin powers. And now I return home! "
she held the Vegeta-plushie over her head and moved it around a few times, " Vrrooom, vroooom, vroooom. ▫Plunk▫ " Bura
plopped the Vegeta-plushie back onto the bed.
" Oh Veggie-sama! You're back! " the Goku plushie "gushed".
" Why yes, I am. And I missed you very much, Kakay. "
" Reaaaaalllly? "
" And now for a hug for my FAVORITE Oujo in the whole wide universe! " the Vegeta-plushie glomped the Goku one and
Bura pushed them onto the bed with the Vegeta-plushie ontop. She turned back to Goku and grinned, " The End! "
Goku smiled and applauded her, still looking a little frazzled from his sudden jolt to alertness and worry over
Veggie, " That was nice, Bura. Thank you. "
" You're welcome, Kakarroujo! " Bura smiled back, then glanced over at Turles suspiciously.
" My turn? " the evil type-3 saiyajin smirked.
" Have a blast. " she dryly remarked, " But remember, I got here first. The roots for Toussan to be Kakarroujo's
seme are too deep now for you to suddenly come in, dig them out, and chop them into number 2 pencils for the use of
Toussan-uke doujinshis. " Bura boasted.
" I'll see about that. "
" See it then. "
Turles walked up to Vegeta's bed while Bura wandered over to the corner to play with her plushies. Her Vegeta plushie
was giving her Goku plushie a big warm hug from behind. Turles placed his plushies on the bed, " Now then, " he smirked,
then placed the monster plushie and the Vegeta one onto the bed.
" Bwahaha! I've got you now, Vejita! " the monster plushie "said".
" Oh no! The Big Meanie's too powerful for me to defeat! If only someone kind and warm and wonderful not-to-mention
Number One, were to find and save me from the Big Meanie before he has his way with my body which is clearly meant for
another to hold. "
Bura rolled her eyes and muttered something, then went back to her plushies.
" KA..MEH..HA..MEH..HA! "
" ▫BOOF▫! " Turles swatted the monster plushie into the wall.
" Gasp! Kakarrotto! " the Veggie plushie gasped, " You've SAVED me! "
" Oh Veggie, of course I would save you, because as your favorite peasant of all AND your Number One, that's what I
do! "
The Vegeta plushie glomped onto the Goku plushie, " Oh Kakarrotto! You've saved my life! How can I ever repay you?
I am forever in your debt! Now let's go home where I shall profess my true thoughts and feelings concerning you and there
shall be long, long moments of physical contact! "
" Oh-kay. "
" ▫FWOOOSH▫! " Turles moved them to another part of the bed, " And they lived non-platonically ever after! The End! "
Goku stared at him blankly, baffled and flushing pink on his cheeks, " ... "
" Well? What do you think? " Turles smirked.
Goku layed back and pulled the covers up higher, now very much confused, " I think I need another nap. "

" ▫Sip▫ " Raditsu took a sip of his soda and picked up his sandwich as he sat at the kitchen table.
" Hi Raditsu! "
The large saiyajin looked up to see Veggy and three other Vegeta-like characters walking by. He's eyes bugged out and
he almost spat his soda onto the table but managed to swallow instead, " VEGGY! "
" Yes?..OH! Raditsu have you met my new friends? They're going to help us save Vegeta. " he smiled.
" Of course I'm only doing it for Kakarrotto's sake. " V.2 said, pausing to grin widely at the name.
" Umm... "
" This is V.2, Vegeta's modified clone. And these two are kamikaze ghosts that Vegeta created back around the time
Bulma invented the brain-freezer.
" Hello! "
" Hello! " the Veggie-ghosts chirped in unison.
" Erm, hi. " Raditsu said, shocked, " ...Veggy why is V.2 wearing your pants? " he noticed the android was in his,
well, Vegeta's boxers while the clone had on Vegeta's pants.
" He was naked in that tube Bulma trapped him in when we found him. " Veggy explained.
" It's just for decency's sake until I find where she put my clothes. " V.2 nodded, then shuddered lightly, " She
scares me, all those chemicals and probing machines and SHE LOCKED ME IN A TUBE INSIDE A WALL! Who KNOWS when I would've been
freed if this guy hadn't come along! " he motioned to Veggy.
" Why DID Bulma trap you in there? " Raditsu cocked an eyebrow, " I mean, the lab sorta creeps me out too but I never
thought of her as "evil" or anything. "
" Well you see I was created during her mid-life crisis to take Vegeta's place at non-Kakarrotto-related events,
however I, like the saiyajin who's genes I was cloned from, found it hard to resist Kakarrotto's simple peasant charm. You
see, when I was trapped in a different tube the first time, Kakarrotto would come down and keep me company. He'd tell me all
about his day and the wonderful places he'd been. Listening to it made me want to see those places and do those things with
him. He was my very first friend. So one day I broke free and escaped. It was so nice to walk around outside in the fresh
air and have actual conversations with Kakarrotto...we even had lunch together! But then I tried to kill Vegeta so they
knocked me unconsious and brought me back to the lab where Bulma re-trapped me in an even stronger, more well-built tube. "
" ... " Raditsu stared at him blankly, " Wait, so..you tried to kill Vegeta? "
" Hasn't everyone at one point? "
Raditsu sweatdropped, " Ah, but if you tried to kill him and he's the reason you were re-trapped, why do you want to
help save him? "
" I told you before, its for Kakarrotto. I want to make it up to him and maybe if I do a good enough job, when Bulma
finds out I'm no longer in the lab she won't trap me down there again. " V.2 explained.
" Oh. " Raditsu said.
" ... "
" ... "
" Well, I'm off to find my clothes! " V.2 said happily as he walked over to the staircase.
" I'm coming too! " Veggy called out as he followed V.2 along with the Veggie-ghosts.
Raditsu stood there, blinking, " Huh, what do you know, a mini-army of Vegetas to save the original one. "

" I'm starting to wonder if this road really does lead to the Kai planets. " Celipa said, looking around. She,
Bardock, and Vegeta's parents had been jogging down Snake Way for almost 2 hours and still hadn't come across any signs of
life save for a random kinto'un cloud or two floating by.
" Of course it leads to the Kai planets. " Bejito said confidently, " Do you doubt your King? "
Celipa sweatdropped, " Well, no, but.. "
" LOOK! " Bardock said suddenly, pointing at something. The others instantly looked off in that direction.
" A head? It's the end of the road! " Celipa grinned, then glomped Bardock, " Way to go, Baru-kun! "
" Heh.. " Bardock grinned, blushing.
" See? I told you we were going the right way. " Bejito smirked.
" Do you really need to add anymore teaspoons of confidence to that ego today? " Ruby sweatdropped, then looked up
and gasped. Directly off in the distance above them was a small planet, " Is, that it? "
" That's it! " Bejito hovered off the ground, then blasted off towards the planet, the others coming up from behind.
The ou got about halfway to the planet when the gravity kicked in and he was promptly sucked downward onto the surface,
crashing into the grass below, " OOF! "
Bardock, Celipa, and Ruby sweatdropped in unison, then slowly flew towards the planet so they wouldn't be thrown
down with the same force as Bejito. The saiyajins landed just a few feet away from the ou, who was slammed face-first into
the grass.
" Ooo oo oo! " Bubbles dashed up to Bejito, then outlined his imprint in white chalk. He got halfway through when
Bejito lifted his head up and spat out a mouthful of dirt.
" HEY! I'M NOT DEAD YET! " he snapped at the monkey.
" Oo! " Bubbles froze, then ran off back to his house, " AA AAA AA! "
" Uhhhh... " Bejito groaned, flopping his head back on its side.
" Having fun yet? " Ruby smirked.
" Shuddup. " the ou got to his feet, then dusted himself off. Bejito walked up to the small house and knocked on the
door.
" Hello? " Kaio-sama said, opening the door. He looked up to see Bejito smirking evilly at him and cracking his
knuckles. The north kai paled, " Uh... "

" Ohhhhhh... " Vegeta groaned. It felt like his entire body was aching. He reached his hand up to grab the side of
his head only to feel a strange object wrapped around his widow's peak. The ouji looked over his shoulder to see a strange
bracelet-like piece of jewelry of the same gold color around his tail, " What..? "
" Ah, finally awake I see. "
The little ouji looked over to see Brolli sitting there next to him. Vegeta himself was under the covers laying on
the bed in his room. He noticed something cold on his head and reached up to feel an icepack sitting there.
" Nasty fall you had, Vejita-chan. Are you feeling any better. " the densetsu asked with a worried expression on his
face. He reached out and patted the ouji on the arm.
" ...fall? " Vegeta stared at him inquisitively. He had remembered falling down into some long dark hole. The pain
in his head then had been much more intense than it was now, " I..fell. "
" Mmm-hmm. But I saved you and you're going to be better from now on, hai my otokohime? " Brolli boasted.
" H..hai, Burori-sama? " he said, confused.
The densetsu grinned wickedly and reached over, hugging the little ouji, " That's my Vejita-chan. "
The kaka-germs hiding inside Vegeta's hair and tail fur shuddered with fear.

" ▫SIGH▫ " Goku sighed as he lay there in Vegeta's bed. Despite Bura and Turles's mini-play earlier, he really didn't
feel like getting out of bed right now. Besides it was nice, warm, comfortable. And it smelled like Veggie. He did his best
to stay comfortable but his stomach turned woozily every time the thought of Veggie being trapped somewhere in outerspace
with the Big Meanie crossed his mind. He'd deduced that both Bura and Turles were each right in some aspect. Yes Veggie
probably could think up some super-amazing plan to beat Brolli, but Goku didn't think the ouji could pull it off all alone.
Not against Brolli at least. Most of the smaller saiyajin's plans required he have some form of backup; at least one person
to distract the enemy while he inacted his plan. Goku had tried to call Vegeta's cellphone back numerous times and had failed
, " Maybe Veggie was trying to e-scape and the Big Meanie destroyed Veggie's cellphone while in the process? " he guessed
outloud.
Bibishii sighed, lonely as she lay on Goku's stomach.
Goku smiled and patted his tail, " I'm sorry, I forget Veggiestail isn't here either. "
:I hope he's oh-kay: she sniffled.
" I bet they're both oh-kay. " Goku said optimistically, " Afterall, Veggie and Nango survived being kidnapped and
enslaved by Freeza for two decades. Veggie's will is very strong. " he beamed proudly, " But we won't have to wait that long
to see them again. I bet Turles's ship will even find them be-fore the day is over! "
:You think so: Bibishii said with hope.
" Hee- we'll be back givin' Veggiehugs in no time! "
" ... "
" ... "
:I wish the dragon balls were active. We could wish Nango-kun and Vegeta back to Earth right now:
" Yeah.. " Goku trailed off, " Bibishii, when I see Veggie again, the very first thing I'm gonna do is give him the
biggest longest hug EVER! I do not even care if I break the hugging-time rule limit. "
:HAI! That would be fun! Being around Nango-kun without any stupid time limits would be wonderful: Bibishii wagged
and waved through the air.
Goku nodded, then glomped one of Vegeta's pillows tightly, " MMM-HMM! "

" Veggie? " one of the kaka-germs squeaked out. Vegeta was still lying in bed. Brolli had left the room about 10
minutes ago and the kaka-germs were just getting their courage back together.
" Hm? " Vegeta glanced upward, confused.
" Veggie you were just acting, weren't you Veggie? " a second kaka-germ poked out from the ouji's hair.
Vegeta stared at the little germs. They looked so desperately familiar.
Kakarrotto
Vegeta froze. He gently picked one of the kaka-germs up and held it, " Who are you? "
" ... " the kaka-germ's eyes watered up and he instantly fell down and hugged onto one of Vegeta's fingers tightly,
" P..please do not joke like that Veggie. "
" But I'm not joking. " Vegeta said innocently.
The kaka-germ hugging onto Vegeta's finger whimpered, " Oh Veggie... "
The ouji glanced over to see several dozen kaka-germs trying to pry the golden headband-like device off the ouji's
head, " What are you doing? "
" Maybe if we can get it off Veggie's head, he'll remember what the Big Meanie made him forget. " one of the
kaka-germs on Vegeta's head spoke up.
" Oh? Here let me help you! " Vegeta reached for the headband. He touched it and was instantly delt an electrical
shock, " WAAAAAAAH! " the ouji cried out in pain, instantly taking his hands off it and blowing rapidly on them, then shaking
them in the air to try and cool them down, " Oww oww oww oww. "
" Ohhhhhhhh... " the now-dizzy and slightly smokey kaka-germs that had been holding onto the headband at the time
Vegeta grabbed it were now groaning in pain.
The ouji blinked in shock, " Y..you're right. You must be right. He DID trick me! If Burori was telling the truth
than he wouldn't have put a piece of jewelry on my head that zaps me when I touch it! THAT YARO! " he growled.
" YAY! That's our Veggie! " another random kaka-germ cheered.
The little ouji hopped out of bed and suddenly noticed he was wearing a little blue nightie and a pair of briefs,
" ▫Twitch▫twitch▫... "
" Just to let you know, you're a boxers fan yourself. " a kaka-germ spoke up.
" Uh-huh. " Vegeta said, then burst into ssj2, " ALRIGHT! Come on, uh, whateveryouare- "
" -Kaka-germs. " one of them responded.
" Kaka-germs.. " the ouji said slowly as he stared up at them. The germs all hopped off him at once, then combined
to form a life-sized..and this time clothed..Goku.
" Yup! " the life-sized kaka-germ chirped.
" ! " Vegeta stared at him in shock, " H..how did you? "
" That's not important right now, Veggie. What's important is getting that thing off your head! "
" But, what if getting it off my head DOESN'T remove whatever Burori's done to it? "
" ... " the kaka-germ stood there, " I have no idea. "
Vegeta paled. He shook it off, " Well, we'll figure something out. Now let's go! " he said confidently
" YEAH! " the kaka-germ cheered.
The ouji flung the door to his room open to reveal Brolli standing there with a lame expression on his face.
" NO! "
" ... "
" ALRIGHT YOU! I KNOW YOU TRICKED ME SOMEHOW! " Vegeta snapped angrily at him, then smirked and formed a ball of ki
in his hands, " And if you don't remove whatever THIS is.. " he pointed to his headband, then deepened his voice, " Things
are going to get a little messy around here. "
" Hahaha, oh Vejita-chan. " Brolli laughed, then clasped his hand over his right wrist's piece of jewelry. A surge
of pain swept through Vegeta's head and he cried out before falling to the ground, unconsious.
" VEGGIE! " the kaka-germ cried out, reaching to pick him up.
" I wouldn't do that if I were you. "
The kaka-germ paused, then turned to Brolli with a glare.
" Kakarrotto germs huh? I was wondering why it was so hard to tear Vejita away from that lost cause of a peasant.
You've been killing off my germs haven't you? The ones that have tried to invade Vejita. "
" What did you do to him. " the kaka-germ demanded.
" Oh, I just set Vejita's memory back about 10 minutes. You have a surprisingly seme-ish effect on him. Good thing I
waited outside the door. Had I not you probably would've pulled quite a larger bit of his previous personality out. " the
densetsu cracked his knuckles.
The kaka-germ struck a defensive position, " I won't let you harm Veggie! "
" HARM him? Your creator is the one who's been HARMING Vejita! Forcing him into training harder and harder beyond
his physical limitations. Thanks to Kakarrotto , Vejita had been in constant paranoia and under terrible pressure to
become more powerful. "
" Veggie TRAINS to relieve his pressure and its because of people like YOU that he is so a-fraid of losing control
all the time! " the kaka-germ snapped.
Brolli burst into ssj.
The kaka-germ made fists, " You can't force him to like you you know. It doesn't work that way. You could zap
Veggie's brain all you like but it won't change the truth that Veggie's heart does not be-long to you. He doesn't luv you.
He doesn't even like you! You're just a Big Meanie just like Kakarrotto says! "
Brolli yanked out an open bottle of strange green liquid and chucked it at the kaka-germ.
The life-sized germ instantly split back into the dozens that made it up. The germs hit the floor, soaked with the
green liquid. The little red dots shivelled up on the floor into crispy brown dots.
Brolli raised his foot above the small scattered mound, then thrust it at the floor.
" ▫CRUNCH▫ "
" O.O "
The densetsu paused to see Vegeta laying there on his side staring at his foot and the kaka-germs in sheer horror.
" You MONSTER! "
" Uh.. " Brolli paled, nervous. He quickly hit the button again.
" YAIYAIYAIYAI..▫THUMP▫! " Vegeta fell over again from being shocked.
Brolli let out a few nervous chuckles and wiped the cold sweat off his brow. He pressed a button on the wall,
" Computer take care of this mess. " the large saiyajin motioned to the kaka-germs on the floor. He picked Vegeta up and
carried him back to the bed while a tile opened up in the ceiling and sucked the germs right off the floor.

" ▫Knock▫knock▫knock▫ Hello? " Veggy knocked on the door to Vegeta's room. Goku had since gotten out of bed and was
performing his morning warm-ups. He did one more sit-up, then stood up and answered the door.
" Veggy? "
" Hi! " the android waved, " Kakarrotto I believe you've met my new friends, Veggie-ghosts 1 and 2, "
" Kakarrotto-san! " 1 chirped.
" Long time no see! " 2 happily added.
" Gasp! The cute little Veggie-ghosts from when Bulma invented the brain-freezer and Chi-chan used it on Veggie and
Veggie temporarily forgot me but started to like me all over again and made you two to read a lil Veggie-poem to me to show
how much Veggie luvs me! " Goku gushed, then gave them both a light hug, " How nice it is to see you again! "
" Hee- " the kamikaze ghosts grinned in unison.
" They're going to help us get Vegeta back, along with V.2 here. "
" Hey there, Kakarrotto-sama. " V.2 smirked, looking him over, " And what a very complimentary outfit you have on
there. "
" HI Veggiesclone! This is my saiyajin armor. " Goku tugged at it, " I'm gonna wear it on our trip to save my
Veggie! " he gently let go of the Veggie-ghosts to avoid blowing them up, " Would you like a hug too? "
" Oh I'd be delighted. " the clone grinned evilly, then held his arms out as Goku gave him a glomp.
" Mmm... "
" Mmm... "
" O.O " Goku paused, " Veggiesclone, are you, rubbing my thigh? " he stared blankly ahead.
" Sorry 'bout that. Old habits die hard, ya know. " V.2 smiled cheesily at him.
" Ah haha.. " Goku laughed nervously, letting go of the clone, " Hai. "
" Now, if I were Vegeta where would I put clothes I don't wear but don't want anyone else to wear either... " the
clone muttered as he wandered about the room.
" Probably the top drawer cuz its higher than Veggie can reach standing up and Veggie doesn't like to feel embarassed
about standing on his tip-toes early in the morning. " Goku nodded in thought.
V.2 opened the drawer and was surprised to see the black pants and red tank-top sitting there staring at him,
" Wow...Kakarrotto, I'm impressed. "
" Hee- I've been spending lots of time in Veggie's bedroom and gravity room lately. " Goku grinned, then started to
job in place, " And that happens to be where I am going right now! " and with that he happily dashed out of the room and
down the stairs.
" Oi Goku-san-! "
Goku had just jogged past Chi-Chi holding a box. He jogged in place again, then backwards to where she was standing.
" Heh, check it out! " she lifted the top off the box, " The armor I asked dad for got here this morning! AND so did
the brand new sword. " Chi-Chi whipped out a medium-sized blade, " I would've gone for the large but it would be too awkward
to wield with my height; it's over 3/4ths my size. "
" That is great Chi-chan! "
" I was wondering if you'd let me test out the armor against you after you're done in the Ouji-dome of Oujidom over
there. " Chi-Chi motioned to the gravity room.
" Can I have lunch in-between? " Goku grinned.
" Sure! "
" Oh-kay then Chi-chan! See you in two hours! " the large saiyajin waved and entered the gravity room, closing the
door behind him.
Chi-Chi sighed in relief, " I'm so glad he's pacing himself again. Six hours at 700x just isn't healthy for him. "
she sat down on the couch and took out a blue helmet built in almost the same fashion as her childhood one, " I wonder if I
still remember how to shoot ki out of the front... "

" BWAHAHAHA! Another battle won by the Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ou! " Bejito laughed proudly as Kaio-sama sat
there tied to the outside of his front door.
" What battle? I didn't even fight you I even offered to help you out and you just tied me up for no good reason! "
the kai exclaimed, baffled.
" Did I...? " Bejito said wisely, folding his arms.
" YES you did. " a vein bulged on Kaio-sama's forehead.
" Oh. "
" ... "
" ... "
" WHEEE! " Celipa laughed as she drove Kaio-sama's car around the tiny planet again and again.
" Very refreshing. " Bardock said with his elbow and head leaning out the passanger's side window.
" OOH AA! " Bubbles sat in the backseat listening to a headset.
" What would you need with a 100lb bag of rice anyway? " Ruby said, coming out of the house holding the large bag.
" Doesn't he have any meat in there whatsoever? " Bejito asked, disappointed.
" There's some beef but I think its a little moldy, there's blue spots all over one side of it. " the ouho paled in
disgust at the thought.
" Ah well. Looks like we'll have to find a snack elsewhere. " the ou nodded.
" What do you people even NEED snacks for! You're all dead! " Kaio-sama sweatdropped, " I mean, I understood Goku
being hungry while dead, but he's Goku. "
" And speaking of "Goku", how would you like to help us out by allowing us to contact him using your magical kai
powers? " Bejito asked.
" I don't have much of a choice, do I? " Kaio-sama said dryly.
" We know where Brolli's taken our son. " Ruby smirked.
The kai instantly turned to her in surprise, " You..you do? "
" And I'm sure with how platonically-fond Kakarrotto is of our son that he would be very happy to find out Vegeta's
location. " Bejito smirked as well.
" He came here just a couple days ago asking for Vegeta! " Kaio-sama said, shocked, " But, I couldn't find him at
all. How could you know where he is? And that he's with Brolli of all people? "
" The same way we were able to watch the Kid Buu fight; the crystal balls down in hfil. " Ruby pointed downward.
" Huh, really. You know we kais never use those things; too messy. Especially when they overload; you should see it
they explode into a million little crystal pieces that take forever to pick up. " Kaio-sama said casually.
" So, you'll help us contact Kakarrotto? " Bejito smiled.
" I will if you untie me and if they park my car before they drive it into the tree. "
Bejito glanced over at the sole, slightly-out-of-place tree on the tiny planet just as the car lightly bumped into
it, causing an apple to fall out and ping the hood.
" Oops. " Celipa sweatdropped.
Bejito turned back to Kaio-sama, " Ya know, I don't think I could ever get used to living here. "
The kai sighed, " Good because I'd rather you not even try. "

:" You're getting rather good under this gravity, Kakarrotto! " Vegeta grinned, " I'm very proud of you. "
" Haha! " Goku threw three more punches, all of which the little ouji dodged. One thing Goku had noticed while
training in the gravity room; the longer he was in the ouji-scented room the more he seemed to daydream while training,
" Thanks Veggie! "
" You're welcome, Kakarrotto. However, don't you think this scenery's a little dull? How about something a little
warmer? " the ouji snapped his fingers and instantly they were sparring at their usual sparring grounds with the weather
feeling something out of July rather than March, " Nice, eh? "
" VERY nice Veggie. " Goku said in awe, dodging a kick from the ouji. He took a deep breath of the air, " We would
spar here every day before you were taken away. "
" And we'll do it every day again just like before. It's all a matter of finding me, Kakay. " Vegeta formed a
garriku ho and shot it at Goku, who deflected it with a kamehameha.
" I WILL find you Veggie, I WILL I promise! " Goku gushed desperately.
" Well I have no doubt in my mind that you will, Kakarrotto. " they both powered back down. Off in the distance Goku
felt something grow heavy, " Now, how about a hug for Veggie before you go have lunch, hm? "
" YEAH! " the larger saiyajin glomped the little one tightly, " ...Veggie. " Goku smiled. The ouji looked up at him
in curiousity. Goku leaned towards him, " Oh Veggie... ":
" -YOUR GRAVITATIONAL SESSION HAS ENDED. Please have a good day- "
Goku blinked. He was back in the gravity room again. He looked over at his position, " ...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! " the
large saiyajin cried out and fell backwards onto his rear end, his head tilted in shock while his fingers continued to flex.
Goku leaned his side against the gravity machine with a lost expression on his face, " Something's wrong with me.. "

" Ohhh...OHHHHHHhhhh... " Vegeta groaned. He was covered in sheets with his head on a large plush pillow, but he
still felt cold. A terrible prickle of uncomfortableness covered his skin. He opened his eyes slightly. Too bright. He
closed them again. There was something rubbing his back.
" Hey there Vejita. Don't you think its about time to wake up and face the day? " Brolli asked calmly.
The little ouji looked over his shoulder at the densetsu, clearly beaten and tired. He felt sick to his stomach for
some odd reason as well, " My head hurts. " he said in his "little" voice.
" Well you did fall pretty far. "
" Huh? "
" You tripped on the stairs and fell Vejita. I wasn't able to get to you intime. " he lied.
Vegeta nodded uneasily, " H..hai. And, you are... "
" Burori Denkiteki, the legendary super saiyajin and the saiyajin no ouji. You do remember, don't you Vejita? "
" It's ge. "
" Eh? "
" It's, it's VeGEta. It's not that soft of a g sound, right? "
Brolli laughed, " Hahaha, oh Vejita you must've hit your head harder than I thought. "
" I..is that bad? " the ouji looked worried.
" No, of course not. I fixed you all up of course, but I'd prefer if you didn't wander off by yourself anymore. It's
dangerous for someone as petite and slender as yourself to do so. Afterall, we are the only two people aboard this ship. "
" We are? "
" Mmm-hmm, the last of our species as well. Lucky thing I was able to find you again. " he patted Vegeta on the
shoulders.
" Umm, h..hai, lucky me. " the ouji felt a vague feeling of discomfort.
" So, Vejita, how would you like to become my otokohime? "
" Y..you're otokohime, Burori-san? "
" Burori-sama. "
" Burori-sama. " the smaller saiyajin repeated.
" It's oh-kay, you don't have to answer me right away. It's best if you just rest first. Left a pretty nasty bump. "
Vegeta reached up towards his head.
" AHH NO WAIT DON'T TOUCH.. "
" ..? " Vegeta stared at him, startled.
" ..don't touch it because it's still sore and touching would only cause intense pain, and you don't want that, do
you Vejita-chan? "
The ouji paled, " No. "
" Of course you don't. Now let's just lay back and relax and talk for now. "
" Um, oh-kay. "
" Now, Vejita, how many of us saiyajin are there again? "
" Only you and me, Burori-sama. "
" What's your favorite color, Vejita-chan? "
" Bright green? "
" Who killed Freeza and rescued you from his clutches? "
" You? "
" That's right. You're good, Vejita. Making real progress there. " Brolli smirked, " Vejita-chan, what's a
kaka-germ? "
" I don't know. " Vegeta blinked, confused.
" That's alright Vejita, it was a trick question. There is no such thing as a "Kaka-germ". he glanced over at the
ouji's hair and tail fur, " And there better not be.. " he muttered quietly to any leftover germs, then turned back to
Vegeta and smiled, " Isn't that right? "
" Ah, right. " the ouji happily nodded.
" Good. " Brolli got up and walked over to the clothes closet, " Now let's choose what nice comfortable outfit you
should wear today, hai Vejita? "
" H..hai. "

" HAHA! I am SUCH a genius! " Bulma boasted as she left the lab and strolled into the kitchen only to find Goku
sitting there with his head on the table in mild shock while Chi-Chi worriedly rubbed his back with one hand as she sat on
the chair beside him, " Uh...Son-kun? "
" He had a scare in the gravity room but he won't give me any specifics about it. " Chi-Chi said.
" My head feels all dizzy, Chi-chan. " Goku said, his hands still tingling.
" Aw, I'm sorry to hear that Son-kun. " Bulma said, walking up to them.
Goku glanced at Bulma out of the corner of his eye, " Umm, Bulma? "
" Yes? "
" What are you wearing? "
The blue-hairred scientist had on what looked like over-sized red boxing gloves. She had equally large navy boots on
her feet and wore what looked a pair of blue-tinted googles in the shape of a two-sided scouter, " Heh, this is MY battle
armor! "
Goku sat up and he and Chi-Chi stared at her in shock.
" Your what! "
" Your what! "
" You don't think I'm just going to stand by on the sidelines do you? Vegeta's my boyfriend and I want to help save
him. " she smirked proudly.
" That is very brave of you Bulma, but.. " Goku trailed off.
" You don't even know any martial arts. " Chi-Chi injected.
" ... " Bulma paused, " Well, no, but I've watched Vegeta train tons of times, and I have these! " she motioned to
her new gear, " Strength-enhancing gloves that increase your punches 100x, a duel scouter designed to not only sense out ki's
but to determine exactly who they belong to, and speed-enhancing boots which will allow you to move at 100x your normal
speed! "
" Wow.. " Chi-Chi mumbled in surprise.
Goku blinked, " But...isn't that cheating. "
" WAHH! " Bulma nearly fell over, then lept back to her feet, " It's not cheating when you're using it to help
someone else! "
" Oh. " the large saiyajin said, even more confused.
" But, even if you do increase all of that you still need to know how to use it. " Chi-Chi pointed out.
" Of course I know how to use it, I invented all three of them. " Bulma sweatdropped.
" Not that, the extra power. "
" Ah, well...I've been practicing. "
" ? "
" Here, " Bulma struck a defensive pose vaguely similar to Vegeta's, " One of you come at me. "
Chi-Chi looked over at Goku, who was doodling Veggies on a piece of paper and staring at the doodled oujis longingly,
" Urm, alright. " she turned to Bulma, " Are you sure about this? You usually freak out in battle. "
" Yeah, but usually Vegeta's sanity isn't on the line. "
Chi-Chi shrugged, then rushed at her, " HAAAAAAAAA... " she threw a punch. Bulma yelped and quickly blocked it with
one of her gloves only to have a knee kick into her chin, launching her partially into the air. Chi-Chi grabbed her by the
ankle and tossed her into the living room where Bulma landed clumsily on the sofa.
" OOF! "
" Chi-chan! " Goku sweatdropped.
" Sorry, got a little carried away. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped as well.
" Wahhh... " Bulma groaned, then shook her head and sat up, " I could use a little more practice. " she looked over
the sofa, shaken, " I thought you were just going to try to punch me, not start a mini-battle! "
" Well usually "Come at me" is a pre-battle phrase... "
Bulma sighed.
Chi-Chi looked over at the Veggies Goku was doodling. She paled at the sight of one of them, " Goku-san, " she said
slowly, " Why is the Ouji in the corner naked? "
Goku glanced over at the doodle, " Oh, that Veggie's not naked, Chi-chan, he's just missing his clothes. Look! I
found them! " and with that he nervously doodled pants and a shirt overtop of the drawing.
Chi-Chi laughed nervous, " Ah haha, yeah, right. "
" A-hem, Goku? " a voice said out of nowhere.
Goku looked around, " Kaio-sama? "
" Ah, yes Goku. It seems I've found out where Brolli has taken Vegeta. "
" AHHHH! " the large saiyajin lept to his feet and practically squealed, bursting into ssj out of the sheer
excitement of it all, " YOU KNOW WHERE MY VEGGIE IS SO I CAN FIND HIM AND RESCUE HIM AND HUG HIM A-GAIN? " Goku's eyes
sparkled. Chi-Chi twitched slightly at the gushiness.
" Hai. I was informed by..OOF! "
" Kakarrotto? " a voice asked outloud, sounding very similar to Vegeta's but a few levels deeper.
Goku guessed, " Veggie's Toussan? "
" Correct. You've got a good ear. "
" You could let us talk too ya know. " Bardock sweatdropped.
" TOUSSAN! " Goku grinned.
" Anyway, Vegeta's being held on the far edge of the East Galaxy. It's near a large cluster of stars and shouldn't
be too hard to find if you have a ship with a navigational system. "
" Oh we do! I mean, Turles does. "
" Yes, Turles... " Bejito muttered, " I'm not particularly fond of him. "
" I can see why. " Chi-Chi smirked.
" I don't have the exact coordinates to the ship's location but I can give you its general area. " the ou said,
" Since Vegeta's mother and I are unable to leave this realm I am putting the fate of my son's semeness in your hands,
Kakarrotto. "
" Oh that's a good place for it. " Turles grinned, poking his head into the room.
" Shh! " Bulma shh'd him, sweatdropping.
" Afterall, being the saiyajin no ouji my son is a natural-born seme. I cannot just stand by and allow BROLLI to
shove the terrifying pinktagious horror of ukedom down Vegeta's throat. " Bejito shook his fist in the air.
" Pinktagious? " Goku cocked an eyebrow.
" Gee you're not the Ouji's father are you. " Chi-Chi sarcastically remarked.
" As Vegeta's "favorite" and most purely platonically-beloved peasant, I'm trusting you to rescue my son and bring
him home safely, Kakarrotto. " Bejito nodded thoughtfully.
" Oh yeah, that's definately Vegeta's father up there. " Bulma sweatdropped.
" I will do my very best if not more to save my Veggie, Veggie's Toussan! " Goku said determindly, pounding his fist
against his chest.
The ou smirked, " Very well Kakarrotto. I look forward to hearing a daily update from you concerning this mission. "
" D..DAILY? " Kaio-sama exclaimed, " What do you mean DAILY? "
" You don't expect us to just go back to hfil as soon as Bejito finishes talking now, do you? " Bardock said,
surprised, " Watching the action is fine for some people, but I'd rather actually take part in the battle; even if my part
is reduced to simply giving directions, advice, or other helpful information. "
" Well...isn't that nice.. " Kaio-sama twitched, uneasy at the idea of having four saiyajin temporarily living at his
house.
" We're going to need more food though. " Ruby spoke up.
" Again must I remind you that you don't need food at all, you're dead! " the kai exclaimed.
" Goodluck Kakarrotto! " Celipa put her hand on Kaio-sama's shoulder, " Say hi to your brother for us when you see
him! "
Goku grinned, " I will Kaasan! "
" There. " Bejito pulled his hand away, " Now that that's settled, I say we all take a rest. " and with that he
pulled out a sleeping bag and placed it on the ground, then layed down on it, " Ah, not my castle but its better than hfil. "
Ruby sat down beside him and smiled, " You said it! "
Kaio-sama groaned, defeated, " How do I get myself into these messes? "

" Are you, sure this is all I'm supposed to be doing? " Vegeta asked, now using his "little" voice as his regular
everyday speaking one as he sat at the kitchen table wearing the complete otokohime uniform along with a new black training
outfit while Brolli cooked something in a pan, " I mean, shouldn't I at least help you out if we're living together? "
" Oh you don't need to do that, Vejita. You're not a very skilled cook anyways. " Brolli took something and shook it
over the pan.
" I could learn? "
" Maybe next time. "
Vegeta sighed. He flopped his top half onto the table, " Why do I feel so bored? Like there's something I should be
doing right now. "
" Ah, doing? " Brolli said, slightly worried.
" Yeah, you know, moving parts of my body around in some sort of repetitive manner under a stressful enviornment as
to exercise them and improve my level of physical strength and power. "
The densetsu laughed nervously, " You're probably just a little antsy due to your fall. "
" Maybe I would remember more if I did exercise. " the ouji said, then grinned, " Do you think that would work,
Burori-sama? "
" NO! I mean, I don't want you to accidentally harm yourself using a method that most likely won't even work. "
" ... "
" ... "
Brolli flashed the ouji a cheesy smile.
" I suppose you're right. "
He sighed in relief.
" I don't think I want to end up with another concussion. " Vegeta said glumly.
" That's my Vejita-chan. Now how about you go get the napkins for us, oh-kay? "
" Mmm-hmm. " the smaller saiyajin got up and did so.
" You know Vejita, if you're feeling better by tommorow, we could start your otokohime training. " Brolli smirked.
" Really? I'd luv to do something other than just sit around all day. " the ouji wagged his tail and grinned, " I
feel so useless just laying about while you do all this work. Will I get to cook too? "
Brolli clutched his pan's handle in a slightly protective manner, " I, guess. If you want. "
" Great! " Vegeta said happily, plopping back down in his chair, " So, what does an otokohime do? "
" Umm, well, lots of things. " Brolli nodded, " And all of them are very exciting and loads of fun. "
" You think I'll enjoy it then? "
" I know you will! I'm going to make your otokohimehood the best experiance you've ever had, Vejita! " the densetsu
said brightly.
" Heh, no wonder I came to live with you after you rescued me, you're very nice. " Vegeta complimented him.
Brolli smiled but felt a small pang of guilt for what he'd done to the little ouji's mind. He brushed it off, " Thank
you, Vejita. "

" So, the far end of the East Galaxy, huh? " Turles said. He had the entire group standing behind him inside his
ship's control room. The evil type-3 saiyajin entered the information in. He narrowed his eyes when not even a single blip
appeared on the radar, " That's it then, he must be using some sort of super-barrier around the ship. Perhaps even a cloaking
device, but they're very expensive. "
" Maybe we could contact the Space Police and see if any Zorgonians have filed a report on a missing ship. " Chi-Chi
folded her arms in thought.
" WHAT! NO WAY! I'm a wanted evil mastermind remember! Sending in a report like that from my own ship would be
a one-way ticket to Space Jail! " Turles snapped, " Don't you know what would happen to a type-3 saiyajin peasant in Space
Jail? "
" They make new friends? " Goku raised his hand.
Turles shuddered at the thought, his face turning green, " Oh yeah, I bet we'd make loads of new "friends" there,
Kakarrotto. "
" Alright, no contacting the Space Police then. " Chi-Chi held her hands out, taken aback.
" Be-sides, Veggie is wanted by them too and if they came to check out the crime scene I'd have to find my wig again
and I do not exactly know where that is anymore. " Goku shook his head.
" What wig? " Turles cocked an eyebrow.
" Oh, back during "those three years" the Space Police came to Earth and tried to arrest Veggie but we tricked them
into thinking I was a girl by me using a wig and Veggie and I had a pretend wedding but then things didn't go so well and
the Space Police found out I tricked them so I had to stay at the station for a night until Veggie and Bulma came to bail me
out. "
" ... " Turles stared at him blankly.
" :) "
" You're kidding, right? "
" Forget about it, " Bulma spoke up, " I think the best thing for us to do now is to gather everyone together, figure
out who could best assist us in saving Vegeta, form a rescue party, and get out to the East Galaxy as fast as possible. "
" That is a good idea, Bulma! " Goku said happily.
" It's settled then. " Bulma pulled out a small aqua cellphone, " Now if you'll excuse me, I have a few calls to
make! "

" So? " Gohan spoke up as he and Videl sat in the living room with the rest of the Z senshi, " Anyone know why we
were called here? "
" No clue. " Kuririn sweatdropped, sitting on the couch next to Juuhachigou and Marron. The chibi was currently
playing a videogame, " ...Videl why are you wearing a blanket over your stomach? "
" I'm, cold? "
" But its 68'F outside. " Chaoutzu blinked, confused.
" ...I'm really, really cold? "
" Does it smell cleaner in this room or is it just me? " Yamcha looked around, surprised.
" I can only imagine what this is all about. " Tenshinhan said.
Piccolo meditated a few feet away from them.
" Maybe it has to do with Veggietine's Day. The usual "pink" color was gone this year. " Launch thought outloud.
" Hey everybody! " Bulma announced, walking into the room, Goku coming in behind her wearing his saiyajin armor
and desperately hugging his life-sized Veggie plushie against him while softly rubbing its back.
" Is this an intervention of some sort? " Yamcha asked, motioning to Goku.
" Not really. " Bulma sweatdropped, then turned back to the group, " The reason I've called you all here today is
because Vegeta has been kidnapped by Brolli and I need volunteers to help our already semi-large group go out into space
where we'll rescue him and battle Brolli in the outer edge of the East Galaxy. "
" Vegeta's been kidnapped again? " Juuhachigou said, not surprised, " What is this, the third time? "
" It depends on whether or not you count our first Brolli encounter as a kidnapping. " Bulma pointed out.
" Bulma you know we'd like to help you but with how big of a gap in strength there is between us and Brolli do you
really think we'd be of any help at all? " Yamcha pointed out, concerned.
" I'm going. "
" WHAT! " Kuririn gawked, " B..but I mean, what-Yamcha-just-said! "
" I can't just stay behind and lead Vegeta to believe ONLY Son-kun cares deeply enough for him to risk his own life.
I care about Vegeta too, even though I'm not always around to tell him everyday. "
" Oh Veggie.. " Goku trailed off, hugging Plushie even tighter.
" I bet Buu could help you. " Launch said, " He's really strong plus he could turn Brolli into a piece of candy,
right? "
" We don't really completely trust Buu in alone in a ship with us. " Bulma laughed nervously.
" That's why she didn't invite him the last time we fought Brolli. " Piccolo nodded.
" Are you coming with us this time as well, Piccolo? "
" I'll..have to think on that. "
Bulma sighed, frustrated, " Doesn't anyone want to come help us? "
" :D "
" :D "
She looked down to see Trunks and Goten grinning up at her.
" I wanna come help save Toussan, Kaasan! " Trunks said excitedly.
" YEAH! It'll be FUN! " Goten gushed.
" Well... "
" And if we can't take care of him, Gotenks sure can! " Trunks smirked.
" That is true. " Bulma nodded, " Alright. "
" YES! " the two chibis said in unison.
" Anyone else? "
The majority stared at one another uneasily. Juuhachigou stared lamely out into space and Piccolo had a placid
expression on.
" Bulma, its not that we don't want to help you.. " Kuririn started out, " But I mean...it's BROLLI Bulma! He'll
wipe the FLOOR with us! "
" We'll help! " Videl raised her and Gohan's hands.
" AHH..we..we will! " Gohan gawked, " But you're.. "
" ..we could at least man the ship for them or something. I mean, look at your father, Gohan. " she whispered to him.
Gohan glanced over at Goku who was still gently caressing the life-sized plushie while wearing his saiyajin armor.
" That's not healthy! How much worse do you think he's going to get if we can't save Vegeta for him! "
" Hai, you're right. " the demi-saiyajin admitted, " I can't just stand by and allow Toussan's mind to destabilize
into some obsessive state the way Vegeta did back when Toussan died fighting Cell. We'll help you, Bulma. "
" That's great! Thanks guys! " she smiled.
Goku smiled gratefully and clutched his plushie tighter.

" Oh-kay, we have Son-kun, Vejitto, Gogeta, Raditsu, Turles, Chi-Chi, Mirai, Veggy, Vegeta-ghosts 1 and 2, V.. " she
paused infront of the clone in shock.
" I won't tell if you won't. " V.2 smirked evilly.
" Ah..-how did? Umm, nevermind. " Bulma shook it off, temporarily disoriented, " Trunks, Goten, Bura, Gohan, "
" Saiyaman. "
She looked up to see Gohan and Videl were in their superhero uniforms, " ...oh. Saiyaman and Saiyawoman. " she
checked each person off on her list, " Videl why do you have half your cape draping infront of you? "
" New look? "
" ... "
" ... "
" Alright. " Bulma shrugged it off, then began briefing the group.
" Aw man, I didn't know your mom was gonna be here. This is gonna make things so much harder! " Videl whispered to
Gohan, " I mean, a mission to rescue Vegeta sounded like it would be the last thing she'd agree to go on. "
" She's probably worried about Toussan. " Gohan glanced over at Goku who was now in ssj3 and doing pushups with one
finger. Gohan facefaulted, " ...I'm worried about Toussan too. "
" ..and I want everyone to get a good night's rest because tommorow morning we'll be packing our supplies and
blasting off! "
" Hee- I'm gonna get my Veggie back! " Goku grinned, wagging his tail, " And when I do I'm gonna give him the
biggest hug I have ever given be-fore! "
" You do that, Goku-san. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" Uh... "
Chi-Chi blinked, then looked over to see Gohan staring at her, disturbed, " Erm, yes Gohan? "
" Kaasan, you look so relaxed? " he gawked.
" Is it the ponytail as opposed to the bun? "
" Maybe, I dunno? "
" To tell the truth I have been feeling a lot better lately, health-wise. Without the Ouji around my mind's not
incredibly overbusy wondering how the Ouji's going to strike next and what my opposing move should be, it's a great lift off
my shoulders! " Chi-Chi smiled, then frowned, " However now instead of preparing myself constantly to do mental battle
against the Ouji I've been preparing myself constantly to calm your Toussan down from the intense loneliness he feels due to
the Ouji's absence. " she explained, " Also, I've noticed that since my attention isn't completely focused on the "Kaka-war"
that I've just now realized how stressful it is on my head to wear my hair tied up tightly into a bun. " she poked her
ponytail.
" Ah. "
" So how have you and Videl been doing lately? "
" Oh, good, good.. " Gohan noticed out of the corner of his eye Goku doing situps while still in ssj3 and balancing
on the tip of his tail, " o.O "
" He's been training a LOT lately. I doubt he'll ever be able to reach Brolli's strength though. " Chi-Chi sighed,
then perked up, " But hey that's why all of us are going to help Goku-san, right? "
" ... " Gohan stared at her blankly, " Man you have mellowed out without Vegeta around to drive you crazy. "
" I think I'll bring Veggie's little blue gi with us so he has something nice and warm to wear on the ride back
home! " Goku said happily, back to normal form and walking by them carrying said gi.
" You do that. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped, watching him hop into the ship, " Gohan-kun, " she sighed, her eyes on Goku as
the large saiyajin left the ship and playfully tossed Plushie into the air, then caught him and laughed, " I really hope
the Ouji's been able to hold on for this long. If we get there and find out he's missing one or two limbs, or severely
mentally tramatized beyond the point of return, I don't know what Goku-sa will do. "

" ▫Fwoooooosh▫ " it was late afternoon, almost early evening, and Son Goku was taking a casual fly about the planet
in his orange gi, smiling as he passed by a particular sight. The large saiyajin hovered downward and landed on the ground
surrounded by rocky cliffs. He stood there staring at a spot nearby a long tree log.
:" So, you must be Kakarrotto. Finally decided to grace us with your presence afterall, eh? " the smaller of the
two figures chuckled, amused, " We waited a whole 3 hours especially for you you know. " he walked up to Goku, " Allow me to
introduce myself. I am Vegeta Oujisama, the crown prince of Bejito-sei and the Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ouji! " he
shook Goku's hand.
Goku continued to stare down at him in curiousity, surprised at how small the ouji was.
" According to Raditsu you've suffered a head-injury which resulted in amnesia at a young age. Such a sad thing. " he
frowned, disappointed.
" What is sad is that you just stood by and let him murder my friends! " Goku angrily pointed to Nappa.
" Hn. " Vegeta shrugged and walked back over to the log, then sat down and grinned wickedly, " Take care of him
Nappa. "
" Whatever you say Vegeta. " the huge bald saiyajin cracked his knuckles. Goku turned to face him with an enraged
look in his eye. Nappa flew a him only to be kiai'd into the wall behind him inches before reaching Goku.
Vegeta's eyes widened in shock:He blew him away with his ki alone:
Goku smiled warmly, " This is where I first met Veggie. " he hovered upward, then flew a little ways north until he
reached another battle grounds, " And this is where... "
: " Wow...he was able to take all that and there's not a scratch on him! He's not even winded! " Goku gawked in
shock and amazement as he and Vegeta stood on opposing cliffs.
" You know Kakarrotto, it's not too late. Without Nappa and Raditsu around I could use a good bodyguard. Join me and
together we shall conquer the galaxies! The universe shall be ours and you could have anything you desire! Rich foods,
exotic, comfortable clothing. You and I would make the perfect team! "
" Heh, no thanks. After seeing what you did to your other teammate I do not think being your partner is a very safe
move at all. " Goku smirked, shaking his head, " But if you would like to turn it around, I could use my very own sparring
partner. And you're the strongest person I've ever met. "
Vegeta cracked his knuckles, " You flatter me Kakarrotto, but no. As the Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ouji I try
to avoid warmth and mushiness in all of its forms, regardless of the person making the offer happening to be the last
remaining peasant of my entire kingdom. I can't end up going soft you see. :Not when I still have Freeza to defeat: "
" Oh well. " Goku sighed, then paused as his head shot to attention of the sound of Vegeta powering up.
" HAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... " the entire earth began to tremble at Vegeta's feet. The sky
darkened and lightning struck down in the distance. Some of the nearby cliffs crumbled instantly under the pressure all the
while Goku was staring.
" WOW...I have never felt this excited be-fore! " Goku gasped, his body tingling with excitement and the thrill of
fighting someone as strong as the little ouji hovering up in the air before him.
" Well that's good for you Kakarrotto because its the last thing you'll ever feel! " Vegeta screamed, then launched
himself downwards at Goku, who prepared a defensive position:
" Hmm. Veggie would've beat me to if the others did not come to help me. " he smiled recollectingly, now flying over
the area.
: " No you don't just drop him in there you've got to slowly release him, bakas. " Vegeta snapped, then mumbled as
he supervised Kuririn and Gohan setting Goku down into the rejuvenation chamber inside Freeza's ship. Goku groaned in pain as
they set him down inside. Vegeta hopped inside after him and grabbed a device inside the machine, " I hate these older
chambers, no door at all. " the ouji snorted, then walked infront of Goku, " Here Kakarrotto now just hold still while I put
this on. "
" Is it going to hurt? "
" It will if you don't stay still. "
Goku sweatdropped.
Vegeta placed the nose and mouthpiece onto Goku's face, " Question Kakarrotto. Do you have any phobias of being
trapped underwater or in small places for several hours at a time? "
" Mmph mmh. " Goku shook his head no. :Why didn't he ask me before he put that thing on my head?.: he blinked in
confusion.
" Well I hope that was a no for your sake. " the ouji smirked evilly at him only to have its impression cut in half
by a large sudden yawn, " Ohhhh. " he groaned, rubbing his eyes.
:Are you oh-kay?.:
" HUH! " Vegeta suddenly bolted to attention. He looked left and right in panic, then realized who the voice
belonged to. The ouji stared at Goku lamely, " Stay out of my head. "
Goku grinned through the mask, then watched as Vegeta hopped back out of the chamber, closed the top, and water began
to fill the small container:
Goku did a spin through the air and flew downwards into the area he and Vegeta sparred together at every morning.
: " ▫Click▫click▫click▫click▫ " Vegeta sleepily turned the little handle on the alarm clock and plopped down
infront of the chamber holding Goku. He set the clock down beside him and made himself comfortable on the floor, using the
chamber behind him to hold his upper body upright.
:What are you doing?.:
" AHH! Uh..I thought I told you keep out of my head with your psychic kaka-shenanigans. " he grumbled.
Goku blinked, confused. :Shinana..:
" Mischief, alright. It's a synonym for "mischief". "
:OH.:
Vegeta sighed and snuggled his back against the machine, then folded his arms and closed his eyes.
:So..what are you doing?.: Goku tilted his head.
" AAH! I'M TRYING TO TAKE A NAP ALRIGHT! I haven't slept in two weeks! " Vegeta snapped, then glanced over his
shoulder at Goku with a stubborn pout on his face, " You're not the only one who needs to recuperate ya know. "
:Two WEEKS...that is TERRIBLE!.: Goku gasped:How did you make it..:
" I'm a saiyajin, remember? I can go for a while without sleep but not even I can stay completely alert without rest
for this long. So just let me take my nap and you take yours and we'll both be better off for it. Alright? " he sighed.
Goku smiled back at him. :Alright:
" ... "
" ... "
:You're protecting me, aren't you?.: Goku said warmly.
A flush covered the ouji's face, " The saiyajin no ouji protects no one. Now let me sleep. ":
He landed near a river. Goku sat down with his back facing it and dipped his tail into the water waiting for a fish
to come by.
: " K..Kakarrotto.. "
" No Veggie-ta, do not say anything you don't have much strength left! " Goku pleaded.
" Heh, I don't have much time left either Kakarrotto. " the little ouji smirked wryly, then leaned his body upwards
, " But I'll show you! " he laughed at Freeza, " Its a good thing for you that you can't feel Kakarrotto's ki because if you
could you'd be shaking in terror for Kakarrotto is the TRUE super saiyajin! HE is the densetsu! I am infinately thankful I
lived to see this day. "
Freeza glared at the ouji, then shot another ki blast, this one going through the little ouji's mid-section up near
his heart. Vegeta let out a cry and his back hit the ground.
" VEGGIE! " Goku cried out, rushing over to him. He snarled at Freeza, " How DARE you! He couldn't even move! He
couldn't even defend himself! "
" He should die now and get it over with. " Freeza spat, " Useless monkey. "
" Veggie? Veggie can you hear me? I can get you out of this Veggie I can! "
Vegeta's breathing was rapid and blocky now, grimly surmising that the shot had pierced the top of his heart;
probably missed the arteries. The blood was going to drain out rapidly after a few moments. The fact that he was going to
die within the the next 5 or so minutes hit him and his eyes started to water up as his worst fear hovered over his mind.
" Veggie! "
" Kakarrotto, you have to defeat him. He murdered my parents and your parents. Freeza enslaved us, he used us as his
arms and legs to conquer entire solar systems for him. He kidnapped me and took me away from my family and killed my father
when he arrived to try to rescue me. Freeza's fear of an uprising came true. He's afraid of our power Kakarrotto, that's why
he spread us apart. That's why he had us send saiyajin babies to foreign planets. He couldn't take the reality that we would
no longer obey him and he was afraid a densetsu would finally rise among us. And so, destroyed the our entire planet. Blew it
up with one finger! "
Goku stood there silently listening to him with a hurt expression on his face.
Tears were streaming freely down Vegeta's face now, " He made me into what I am, Kakarrotto! Don't let him do it
anyone else! Avenge your race, your people, your entire species your homeplanet Kakarrotto! He has to be defeated here and
now by a saiyajin's hand. You're the densetsu. I believe that. I believe you can do it. " the ouji said bravely,
outstretching his hand towards Goku. His vision blurred both by tears and sheer exhaustion. Vegeta's eyes closed as his head
leaned carelessly to the side.
" ...Veggie. " Goku felt a sick throb in his chest. He made two fists and turned towards the cliff beside them and
blast a Veggie-sized hole out of the ground, then walked up to the little ouji and bent down beside him, " Oh Veggie. " Goku
gently picked the smaller saiyajin up. He paused for a moment, surprised at how light the ouji felt. Goku gulped and walked
over to the hole he'd made, then placed Vegeta inside it. He sniffled and started to bury the small saiyajin, " Oh Veggie, I
think I understand now. " Goku said sadly, " You weren't just upset about what he'd done to you, or to the other saiyajin..it
hurt you so much that he'd gotten away with all that and you were unable to put a stop to it, powerless against him. I don't
really know that much about the saiyajins, but I want to grant your wish Veggie. I want to defeat him for you. So, please
share some of your pride with me. I will grant your wish Veggie. " he patted the final clump of dirt ontop of the grave,
then stood up and faced Freeza, " I will make him pay. ":
" And this time Veggie, when I bring you home it won't be in a bodybag. " Goku whispered to himself as he sat there
roasting his fish over a fire. The flame shot higher as Goku watched it waft before him ontop of the small pile of logs. He
smiled wryly; even the fire reminded him of the little ouji; or at least his hair. The fish started to lightly turn black on
the edges and Goku took a bite of it. He easily finished off the large fish, then scanned around into the distance, looking
for his home. He spotted it and blew out the fire, then flew off towards Mount Paozu.
: " Ohhh... " Vegeta groaned, stretching as he and Goku sat there on the ground. They had just finally defeated
Kid Buu and were watching as Kaibito, Dende, and the old Kai spoke with Hercule and Buu, " So? " he glanced over at Goku.
Goku smiled warmly at him, " So? " he repeated what Vegeta'd just said. The ouji sweatdropped.
" You were really going to sacrifice all of existance for me, huh? " Vegeta smirked, feeling blown away himself,
" If Hercule and Buu hadn't come along you wouldn't have thrown the genki-dama? "
" I like Veggie. I didn't want him to die. " Goku pouted, " AND I WOULD NEVER BE THE ONE TO KILL YOU! " he gushed
overdramatically, " I WOULD NEVER KILL MY VEGGIE, NEVER! "
" Ah... " Vegeta blinked, taken aback by the sudden gushiness, " Hai, well..there's a difference between liking
someone and...uh, other things. You buy a treat for someone you like. You watch tv with someone you like. You were going to
throw away possibly your only shot to defeat Kid Buu just so you could save me despite how badly Onna and Kaio-sama begged
you to launch the genki-dama in the first place. And not just them, so many others pleaded and begged for you to release the
attack, even myself. But you didn't listen to any of us, not a single one. " he looked over at Goku with a mixture of
confusion and unease, " Why? "
Goku blinked, similar feelings suddenly settling over him as well, " Silly Veggie I told you already. " he laughed.
" No Kakarrotto, why? For once you listened to yourself and not Onna. How did you do it? What possible argument
could you have against "if you throw the genki-dama now you'll kill Veggie but at least your world is safe"! " Vegeta
exclaimed.
Goku sat there quietly for a moment, then looked over and smiled at Vegeta, " Because if I killed my Veggie, I would
never get to tell you.. "
" ..hey Goku! Are you coming or not? " Dende shouted to them.
Goku stood up.
" Tell me what? " Vegeta, still sitting on the ground, looked over at Goku from behind, feeling uncomfortable and
starting to flush in the face.
The larger saiyajin's body shifted around. Goku glanced over his shoulder and grinned, " Come on Veggie, let's go
home! " he said, starting to walk over towards Dende.
Vegeta blinked dumbly for a moment, then lept to his feet, annoyed, " Tell me WHAT! ERR, I hate it when people leave
you hanging like that! KAKARROTTO TELL ME! " he shouted, running after him.:
" ... " Goku stood there with his back leaning against the front door to his house. He looked bewildered with a
flushline over his nose and had his arms over his chest in the way Vegeta usually held his own, " I, I couldn't let you die
Veggie because...because I would never get, get the chance to tell you I...Veggie I.. "
" ▫SWING▫ "
" ..WAHH! ▫THUMP▫! " the door came out from behind him and Goku fell with a thump, his back hitting the floor
beneath him.
Chi-Chi sweatdropped, standing in the doorway, " Goku-san? "
" Oww. " Goku said, sweating profusely. The mental spasm in his mind was a lot more painful than the physical pain
of smacking his back onto the ground, " OWWWWWWwwwww.. " he clasped the sides of his head and sat up, his entire body now
flushing pink.
" Ohhh! Goku-san. I'll, I'll go get you an ice pack, just stay there and don't make any sudden movements, oh-kay? "
Chi-Chi said worriedly, rushing into the kitchen.
Goku's arms flopped down at his sides as he sat there leaning over. Everything in his mind had just gone dangerously
quiet. His eyes were bugging out in disbelief and his mouth bobbing open and closed like a fish, no words coming out, " I...
I don't feel well. "
2:49 AM 3/15/2005
END OF PART EIGHT!
Chuquita: 72.1KB! (sweatdrops)
Vegeta: The size could be worse.
Chuquita: Hai.
Goku: (blinks, confused) Did I just have a re-ve-lation?
Chuquita: Yes, yes you did.
Vegeta: Certainly skipped a large chunk of the show in the flashbacks, didn't you?
Chuquita: (nervous laugh) Actually I did have flashbacks set up for different points in the Cell eps and early Buu eps, but
if I kept going at that pace this chapter would end up like Part 4. And I really don't want it to end up like Part 4.
Vegeta: Huge chapters boggle the mind, eh? (smirks)
Chuquita: Hai. I know from experiance that the longer the chapter is, the harder it is to remember certain things from it
from a later plot-point relating to something in that previous, super-long chapter, comes into play. Also, QuickEdit is
brutal to long chapters.
Vegeta: Heh, tell me about it.
Chuquita: (happily) But at least the dialogue marks work again:)
Vegeta: True.
Chuquita: (grins) Also, tommorow's my BIRTHDAY!
Goku: Hee-
Chuquita: It would be so amazingly cool to get this chapter uploaded on my birthday! (Son-grin)
Vegeta: Well if we're going to make it I suppose we should get started on the replies.
Chuquita: (nods) GREAT idea, Veggie! (to audiance) And now for the reviewer-replies!
To tea: So glad you liked it! I missed the Veggie ghosts. :) All that's revealed in this chapter. Goku will rescue Veggie
soon, don't worry :D
To Hakura0: I'm not sure why there's so many Veggies, actually. (sweatdrops) It just sorta happened that way. The clone was
created so I wouldn't have to deal with the real Veggie getting a "moo-stache" and cutting his hair, Veggy was created for
plotline purposes and so were the Veggie-ghosts. Hai, liking or disliking Turles kinda depends on your pov of who should be
platonic-seme. His character kinda balances Bura's out. If they had figured out which month Brolli was killed in ahead of
time though, this fic wouldn't have happened. A chart would be helpful.
To GogetaJr: Yup! Thanks! I liked that line too. Well it is PG-13. And the lack of boxers was to make Veggie's situation look
that much more dire. There's gonna be a HUGE battle coming up. :) Don't worry, Veggie'll remember. You could try an e-mail
account with another company, or you could check your spam-blocker to see if that's what's been stopping your alerts from
coming. I remember the site saying that sometimes alerts can get accidentally put into the spam folder.
To Dakarne: Interesting. Aw, thanks!
To Kahlan Nightwing: Yup! His brain's been theroughly washed. Exactly. Glad you like it!
To Vegeta Prince of Pineapples: Heh, I know, lots of cliffhangers in this. K!
To SupersayiankingTommy: Yup, there's a chapter 8, and 9 most likely. Hai, its not very nice of Brolli. I bet Bebi would
definately have gone after him for his power. You could make copies of your stories onto floppies or cd's, that way you
could write them no matter which computer you're on. (holds up her floppy). You'll find out all of that in the next couple
chapters.
To Wolfcrysta:
Veggie: Hai, but that just makes Piccolo the ouji of his people...or earth..or...whichever land he's in control of.
(confused)
To Wolfcrysta: That he is! The pencil stuff was so fun and random. V.2 was going to come back sometime since he's in all the
gt parodies meaning he had been reactivated. Heh, revenge on Brolli. Ah, kinda like me 'n my sonic games :) Though I have no
idea if my genesis still works or not. I played those a LOT when I was 8. Ah, mine's navy blue and silver. I broke my arm on
a swing when I was four. Was at a friend's house and her mom was pushing the swing and I was asking when I could use the
swing when it came back and smacked my left arm. And then when I got the cast put on it the doctor forgot to put the layer
between the sticky part and my arm so it hurt when they had to take the cast off too, (sweatdrops). Ah, I remember that
episode. My favorite episode is the one where they show a fake employee video for the Krusty Krab. I forget the title but
I laughed so hard at it :D
Goku: Yay! Cookies!
Vegeta: The old Kai? Hai..the one who wanted to have Bulma flash him. (glowers in whatever direction the old kai would be in)
Goku: I thought it was kiss?
Vegeta: That was the dub.
Goku: Ah.
To Vegeta-Holic: Yup! I like Cowboy Bebop. I even have an Ein plushie:D Veggie as naked just to show how dangerous of
a situation he was in.
To BlackDragonFury:
Brolli: (twitches on the floor) Owwwwww...
Vegeta: Heh-heh-heh, good one.
To BlackDragonFury: Yeah, I noticed that too. Brolli's definately flipped out. It's fun to use Veggy, even more than the
first two times. I actually like how he is now more than how he acted in "Veggienapped". I like that idea. If I'm still
undecided by the next chapter I may think about writing out each one and showing them on da. You're welcome!
To JustSomeGuy: Yup! Poor Veggie indeed. :( You'll find out in this chapter. Turles travels all over outer space which is why
he'd know where to find a store like that. I plan to keep him alive, the fact that Brolli does survive was spoilered when he
appeared in "Nibble" and "Chomp" which take place during GT. K!
To Lchan: Thank you:D Hee, glad you liked those parts! I could draw them each in their uniforms and put it on da for you to
see:) Heh, wow, Brolli as the uke? Level 6 would reduce the indecisiveness of choosing between 1 2 and 3. Hai, poor
Piccolo. Maybe I'll write a oneshot sidestory about what he's been doing during all this.
To GokuGirl: That's be cool to watch movies like that :) Goku really wants to get as powerful as he can to save Veggie.
Glad you liked the idea!
Goku: Aw, thank u:)
Vegeta: (embarassed, sweatdrops)
Brolli: (sweatdrops) ...
To RyukoVulpix: Heh, it's getting to be a very long story. Happy you liked that line and Turles with the furniture. Hai. I
don't plan on having Brolli reappearing for a little while after this, even though he is planned to survive. Veggie's a fun
antihero! Chi-Chi's gotten better over the course of the last year or so. (motions to older fics). Glad you like Turles!
Yup! Lots of previous characters show up in the 100th fic!
To Cathowl: Welcome back:D Kansho wants to take over the galaxy? Which one?
Vegeta: (grins) That's it other-timeline Kakarrotto! Support your ouji's semeness! ▫waves flag in the air▫.
To Cathowl: You'll find out what Turles does to the furniture in a future chapter :D Huh, selling your enemies stuff. Heh,
Goku's in hero mode due to where Veggie is. Heh, no pink.
Vegeta: (takes the pepsi) Heh.
To Cathowl: Ah, sorry. (sweatdrops) I didn't notice I'd made up a word. It wasn't a typo. Lol, glad you liked the Bardock
pencil. Hee, typo! "I'd wear him if he -ordered- me to". Happy Kakarrotto liked the strapped Veggie. Wow, Kansho has an
astoroid? Glad you liked the chapter!
To Ouji-Chan: Heh, sorry bout the cliffhangers. I've been ending the past couple chapters on them and I have no idea why. I
haven't done cliffhangers in a while. Glad you liked the chapter. Wow, that's a huge banner. I'll think about it. (nods)
To orchideater: Glad you liked it! Yeah, I can understand how the timelines could get confusing. Turles will get his revenge
on Brolli's furniture soon enough. Shame on Brolli especially since a similar thing was done to keep his densetsu powers in
line throughout his teen/early adulthood. If he does complete the ceremony Veggie at least won't get his oujidom back, that's
why Goku's definately gotta get there in time. He can't get as strong as Brolli in such a short time, that's why everyone is
coming to help him :)
To Albino Black Sheep: Glad you liked the cliffhanger. :D
To ShiningMoon: Happy you liked the chapter! Poor Goku, at least he'll get to Veggie soon. I missed the Veggie-ghosts, its
fun to use them and Veggy again. That would be a funny doodle :D Ah, balance. (nods). I think I might try some pocky next
time I get to the mall, but lately I keep getting scheduled for work on Saturdays and Saturday is usually the day we go up to
the mall, so...hopefully I'll get up again soon :) I saw the review for Katamari Damacy on Toonami but I haven't played the
game. Lol! Fish-fest :D Aw its oh-kay, I don't mind.
To Setsumi-san: Welcome back! So glad you like it! Lol, Veggie's homesickness. Well the Veggie-ghosts are tougher than a
regular kamikaze ghost so you probably could hug one as long as you didn't hug it too hard. Bardock falling out of nowhere,
lol! Happy you liked that line :) K!
Goku: Yay! More Egg Nog is on its way!
To Nekoni, worshipper of Turles-sama: Happy you liked it! Heh, the "evil seme of doom". He'll need both. (nods).
Vegeta: (twitches at two-sided question) Kuso...
To Nekoni: Hai, but if they had kept Veggie from getting kidnapped, there would be no Fic 100...or there would be a
completely different plot or something. It has come up quite a bit lately. Lol, Veggie being love-sick!
Vegeta: (stretches and shows off his muscles) Hai, I couldn't do without um:D
To Nekoni: Vae-jae-tah? Ah well, I only had one semester of french, so.. Glad you liked Veggy's adventure. I almost forgot
about the Veggie-ghosts. Chi-Chi's gotten nicer without Veggie around to drive her nuts. Ironic that she's helping get him
back :) Yup! Lots of Veggie-related characters to help save the original one. The one she's going to get is supposed to be
a more advanced version of the one she has in the series. She tried the bazooka in "Densetsu" and it didn't work out too
well, that's why she's gonna try slicing him instead. Interesting name for them. :) Hope he liked it. Goku will definately
save Veggie. Heh, I figured Turles would enjoy that newspaper article. Between "Veggie-wear", "Flying Saucers" and
everything else there's been a LOT of articles.
Vegeta: Hai, I suppose level 3 is safer than a uh, (glances over at Goku)
Goku: (smiles and wags his tail)
Vegeta: Saiyajin..mating ceremonies and babies. (sweatdrops at raspberry).
Goku: (blows a strawberry at Veggie)
Vegeta: (is hit in the side of his face with said strawberry, pulls it off) How did you...?
Goku:)
Vegeta: (looks down at t-shirt) (flushes red)
Goku: It looks great, Veggie!
Vegeta: (takes bottle) ...will it now? (checks for ingrediants, sees nothing listed) Ah...alright. (shrugs and sprays)
Goku: (suddenly looming over Veggie and sniffing wildly)
Vegeta: O.O (looks up to see Goku's nose there) ...WAAAAAAAH! (zips over to other side of the desk)
To PiccoloDiamao: Heh, yeah I noticed. I did an "Anniversary Special" thing for Fic 75's Corner, so I'm just doing a more
indirect version of it for Fic 100. Lots of turning points still up ahead. :)
To hieilover135: Couple reasons I usually avoid super-huge fics; 1) You need lots of ideas for a long fic and I usually
don't get this many ideas for a single plotline. 2) I don't wanna get stuck and or bored while writing. I've never posted a
fic I haven't finished and doing so would completely mess up all the fics after it since my stories are all loosely
connected (which is why I make sure I have a default ending for each fic idea before I start the story). 3) I get so many
different fic ideas that I wanna make sure I write them when they're still fresh in my mind or they end up sitting on the
future-fics list forever (like that one I thought up a couple years ago with Veggie and Chi-Chi going in search for Goku
during that time in the Buu-saga where they were all dead). I bet Brolli, or at least his japanese va, has a good singing
voice. His dub va sounds too hoarse. You'll find out by the end of the fic. Brolli will leave Veggie alone for a while
though, and he'll still want to annoy Goku after all this. I think it'll go up to chapter 10, I'd be surprised if it was any
longer than that, but then I thought this fic would be finished by Chapter 8 and its not, so I dunno. Bye:D
To Jenna & Vash: Hi! Lol. Grub's cool. You know I do have a vague idea where they first meet by bumping into each other
while hunting the same animal for food. They decide to battle each other to see who gets it. Unfortunately for them the
animal gets away while they're battling. Bardock and Celipa have so much fun sparring together they decide to become
sparring partners and do it on a regular basis and eventually fall in love. That's all I got so far. There's more to it but
the rest is still kinda vague. Glad you liked Bejito's idea. They're going to have to get more food since King Kai isn't
prepared to have enough to feed 4 saiyajins.
To Kat-YaOi MaNiAc:
Goku: Awww, thank you so much:D
To Kat-YaOi MaNiAc: Hai, poor Veggie. Don't worry, things will get better for him. I will!
To mkh2: Poor Veggie indeed :( At least Goku finally heard the message. Also he hasn't used his cellphone in a while so in
addition to the stress and worry he just wasn't thinking about it. Heh, I get absentminded around exam time. I was so worried
about this one exam last semester that I actually forgot the room number even though I'd been to that class for 15 weeks
beforehand. (sweatdrops). Eating is good :)
To Sinah: Lol! Glad you liked those parts :D Heh, I'm so excited about the upcoming super-huge battle! Yup! Goku will save
the day, and Veggie!
Chuquita: (happily) And that wraps up Part 8!
Vegeta: o.O 85.2kb!
Chuquita: (grins) At least its not 100! (whips out party favors) Only 2 more hours til my birthday!
Goku: HOORAY!
Vegeta: Will there be cake?
Chuquita: Yup! Chocolate cake!
Goku: YAY! I like chocolate!
Chuquita: (to audiance) See you sometime next week with Part 9 everybody!
Vegeta: (low whistle of disbelief) Part Nine...
Goku: Byebye!
