Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Special thanks to BlackDragonFury for this chapter's Q.O.T.W!
Goku: (still eating a slice of leftover birthday cake) Mmm-
Vegeta: (smirks) Heh, even Onna's complimenting you, Kakarrotto.
Goku: (grins)
Chuquita: Welcome to Part 9 everybody!
Brolli: (rubbing his head from before) That was the reviewer that hit me.
Vegeta: I'd hit you too if my backup weren't so busy eating his slice of cake.
Goku: I luv chocolate, Veggie!
Vegeta: As do I Kakarrotto, as do I.
Chuquita: Wow...Part 9. One more chapter and we'll actually get to double-digits!
Vegeta: My brain's going to get rescued soon, right?
Chuquita: Of course it will Veggie! We wouldn't let anything bad happen to your brain.
Goku: (happily) Of course not!
Vegeta: (points to story)
Chuquita: ...
Goku: ...
Chuquita: (blinks) (perks up) We wouldn't let anything bad happen to your brain which couldn't be reversed and or fixed!
Goku: Haihai :D
Vegeta: Well, that's a relief. How do I reverse it?
Chuquita: We can't tell you here, it'd be a spoiler.
Vegeta: Oh. (sits back in his chair)
Chuquita: Oh! Speaking of 100, look what I got for my birthday! (holds item up)
Goku: WOW! A hundred-dollar bill! One for each story, nice.
Chuquita: (grins) I'm gonna use it to buy a new stereo (my previous one's from 6th grade, and its cd-player is broken, ▫sweatdrops▫ ) a cordless phone (cuz right now I'm using this makeshift phone which sounds like a fire alarm whenever it rings) and other stuff!
Vegeta: ...your stereo is seriously that old?
Chuquita: (nervous laugh) I always use my portable stuff more often than the stereo which is why it lasted this long. I've gone through 4 headsets since I got the stereo, but my current one is just a radio and can't play cd's.
Goku: (sips icee) Mmmm-
Chuquita: Hopefully we should get to at least the beginning of the super-big-battle by this chapter! (grins excitedly)
Vegeta: Looking forward to the battle, are you?
Chuquita: Hee- I luved the super-big battle I wrote for "Densetsu", and this one's gonna be just as big! AND there's more fighters!
Vegeta: I eventually get to participate in this super-big-battle, right?
Chuquita: Again, I can't tell you for that would be a spoiler.
Vegeta: (sighs) Ohhhh..
Goku: Have some yummy chocolate cake, Veggie! (holds cake up)
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Alright.
Chuquita: And now on with Part 9!

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?

" Ohhhhhh... " Goku groaned as he lay on his bed, Chi-Chi worriedly hovering over him while Goten peeked up over the

front edge of the bed at him.

" Goku-san I'm so sorry! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, " I wasn't really paying attention to the fact that your ki was

right up against the door I just felt it around that general area so I thought I'd open the door for you and...is your

head feeling any better? "

" Physically, yes. E-motionally, no. "

" Emotionally? Come on falling onto your back doesn't tramatize anybody..well, maybe the Ouji what with his intense

uke-phobia..but not you! " she scoffed, then looked over at his face and noticed something was off in his eyes. It gave off

a heavy feeling of unease and caused Chi-Chi to shudder, " ...Goku-san? "

" I don't feel well. "

" Did, something happen to you on your way home? " she asked him cautiously.

Goku nodded.

" Was it Turles? "

Goku shook his head no.

" Bura? "

Another no.

" Then, what.. "

" ..I was thinking, Chi-chan. " Goku interupted her, staring at the ceiling, " I went to the places I first fought

Veggie and then to our sparring grounds and then to go fish and I kept thinkin' bout all the stuff I've been through with

Veggie and how very important Veggie is to me and then this little voice in the back of my head shouted out from be-hind the

rules and it hit me and...Chi-chan I'm scared. " he whispered.

Nervous panicked sweat was now dripping in massive numbers down Chi-Chi's face, " What "hit" you, Goku-sa? "

Goku reached upward with his arms as if reaching to catch something, " I'm gonna bring him back, Chi-chan. I'm gonna

save my Veggie and bring him back in one piece and I will never let him out of my sight ever again. "

" DON'T CHANGE THE TOPIC THIS COULD BE SOMETHING SERIOUS AND LIFE-ALTERING AND WHATEVER IT IS IT AFFECTS ME TOO! "

she stood up and made two fists.

Goku tilted his head to face her, the strange sparkle gone from his eyes, " Huh? "

Chi-Chi's arms fell to her sides and she let her fists go. The fact that that odd sparkle was no longer there made

Goku look like himself again, not someone who had just realized something that was painfully obvious to everyone but himself.

" ... "

" ... "

" Nevermind. " Chi-Chi smiled weakly, " You just get your sleep. We're leaving for outer space tommorow and I doubt

you'll get the same type of comfort sleeping in Turles's spaceship for the next several days. Come on Goten. " she kindly

ushered the chibi out of the room.

" Is Toussan gonna be oh-kay, Kaasan? " Goten asked, worried.

Chi-Chi glanced in the doorway at Goku, who was back to staring at the ceiling with his arms still reaching up into

the air, " I..I'm sure he'll be fine, Goten. " she said, closing the door, " Goodnight, Goku-san. "

" Guh'night. " Goku replied. Chi-Chi closed the door and another flushline appeared over the bridge of Goku's nose,

" OHHHHHHHH! " he yanked his hands down and pulled the covers over his head, " I AM SO CONFLICTED AND CONFUSED AND

CONSENTING AND E-MOTIONALLY CONSTIPATED! OH VEGGIE WHY! "

" Wow...I actually forgot how amazing it looks when you see it all at once. " Bulma said in awe as she and the

crew members that had arrived so far this morning stared up at the ship.

" I'm so glad you decided to come with us, Piccolo-san! " Gohan grinned.

" Well I do want to insure the safety of my son, daughter-in-law, and.. "

Videl and Gohan made nervous shh-ing motions.

" ..yes, well, you two. Afterall I believe my unique powers could come into good use while helping you help Goku. "

he smirked, his cape fluttering majestically in the wind.

" Do you have to flatter yourself like that? " Nail twitched.

" Shuddup Nail. " Piccolo and Kami said in unison. Piccolo glanced over at Bulma, " And I am going to be

compensated for however many days of my rule over Earth I miss while gone, right? "

" Of course, of course. I pulled all the strings last night. " Bulma sweatdropped, waving her hand at him.

" So, who'd you get to fill in for you while you were gone? " Videl asked.

" Mr. Popo enjoys Mr. Popo's new hat very much! " the genie grinned as he sat in the ruler's chair wearing a hat

simliar to his old one only with the a sticker reading "Temporary Ruler Until King Piccolo's Return" written on the front.

Dende seethed stubbornly in the corner, upset, " I bet Piccolo picked you just so he could taunt me and I couldn't

be the Ruler. "

" Most likely, Mr. Popo agrees. Piccolo does enjoy the occational taunt at Dende's expense. Also, Mr. Popo has the

hundreds of years of senority of which Dende does not have. "

Dende sighed, " Yeah. "

Mr. Popo hopped out of his chair and flung open the windows on the next wall, " And now for the parade! "

" Oh, I found somebody. " Piccolo said cooly.

" That's good. " she smiled in reply, " Oof! " Videl clutched her stomach. Piccolo and Gohan looked over at her,

" It kicked. " Videl whispered.

" Ah. " Piccolo nodded.

" You sure you'll be oh-kay..? " Gohan asked.

" I'll be fine, really. " Videl adjusted her saiyawoman helmet.

Raditsu looked over his shoulder and sweatdropped, " We seem to be gaining quite a crowd back there. "

" Oh, I made an announcement of us going on an Outer Space mission over the PA system this morning and invited all

the other Capsule Corp residents to come watch us lift off! " Bulma said cheerfully, " O..of course I didn't tell them WHY

we were going into outer space, private matter you know. "

" H..hai. " Raditsu sweatdropped.

Bura happily dashed past them and into the ship carrying a package, " I'm gonna bring Toussan's royal armor and

snazzy red cape for him to wear if he's too shellshocked to wear a gi. I also brought a spare pair of pants, boxers, his

gloves, boots, and Toussan's "SEME" shirt! " she held up the shirt with the four letters in big black font on them.

Goku, Chi-Chi, and Goten teleported onto the grass just as the others were entering the ship. Goku appeared normal,

no strange sparkles or anything.

Chi-Chi smiled, " See, all you needed was to simply sleep it off. "

" I feel BETTER, Chi-chan! " Goku chirped.

" Hey Son-kun, ready to save Vegeta! " Bulma said happily, walking up to them.

The large saiyajin was back in his saiyajin armor, " Mmm-hmm! " he nodded, then clasped his hands together, " I hope

Veggie will be alright. "

" I hope so too. I still have absolutely no idea which way all of this will climax. "

Goku looked down and sweatdropped to see a worried Chuquita standing there.

" Hi! " she grinned, perking up.

" How did you get here? " Bulma sweatdropped as well.

" Oh, I live there. First floor hallway on the right first door on the left. " she motioned back at Capsule Corp.

Goku tilted his head, " And we just now found this out? "

" ... " Bulma blinked, then sighed, " Why not? Practically everybody else lives in my house by now! "

Turles poked his head out of the top of the ship, " Oh, look who it is how very convinent! " he whipped out a huge

"LEVEL 3" sign and held it over his head. Next to the words was a doodle of Goku hugging Vegeta from behind. Bura peeked out

and glared at Turles, then held up a near-identical Level 3 sign with the exception that hers had Vegeta hugging Goku from

behind.

A heavy wave of confusion overcame Goku, " Level 3? ...what does that mean? A stage in a videogame perhaps? "

Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at the girl and cracked her knuckles, " NEITHER. " she said bluntly, " Goku and the Ouji

are perfectly fine the way they are. PLATONIC. "

Chuquita sweatdropped and laughed nervously, " Ah, I uh, I'm gonna head back to my room now where I'm safe from the

overly-intense peer pressure currently directed at me 'n my indecisive indecisiveness. " she backed up and grabbed the front

door to Capsule Corp, " Goodluck, Son Goku! "

" Thank you! " Goku said cheerfully, waving.

" Come on Goku-san, let's get into the ship so I can test this new sword out on that pair of Rule-Breaking signs. "

she whipped out her weapon.

" Whatever you say Chi-chan! " Goku saluted her and followed her off into the spaceship.

" WOW...I like traveling through outer space, Jitto. " Gogeta wagged his tail as he stared out one of the windows

in the ship. The group were nearing the end of the North Galaxy and were a third of the way to the East Galaxy. They were now

one day into their journey.

" Yeah, once we rescue Mommy, we should go on trips like this all the time! " Vejitto nodded in agreement.

Turles took a deep breath of contentment as he sat at the Captain's seat, " Ah, outer space, how I've missed it. "

" Travelled a lot, did you? " Raditsu cocked an eyebrow.

The evil type-3 saiyajin grinned, " Heh, that's a rather powerful underestimation. But really, in general type-3

saiyajin luv to roam the land and any place they can reach, by foot or otherwise. "

Bulma glanced back at Goku, " That explains a few things. "

" So, how did you get this ship? It's so nice. " Veggy asked.

" Would you believe I purchased it? " Turles smirked.

" ... "

Turles sweatdropped, " Would you believe my former lackeys coerced someone into purchasing it for me? "

" THAT I'd believe. " Raditsu nodded.

" You know lackey, the lackey offer's still up if you'd like to.. "

" ..I'm not your lackey and I have no desire to be one. "

" Impressive. " Turles chuckled, amused, " That one sounded almost as if you'd prepared it ahead of time. I like that

in a lackey. "

" ... " Raditsu sat there uneasily for a moment, then turned to Goku, " Please switch seats with me. "

" Yes, good job lackey, switch seats with my fellow type-3 saiyajin. I'd like to have a nice peasant-to-peasant chat

with him about Vegeta-san. " Turles rubbed his hands together maliciously.

" Over my dead body you will. " Chi-Chi snorted from on the other side of Goku.

" Aww, let's not resort to murder now. " he grinned wickedly, " I'd simply enjoy giving Kakarrotto a few pointers.. "

" ..NO! " she snapped, " He had an incident last night and he's just starting to feel better again and I don't need

you to mess it all up even if I do agree with you that Goku-san is an excellent seme. "

" To Vegeta-sa.. "

" ..to ME! "

" You don't treat him much like a seme. "

" Umm, Chi-chan? " Goku spoke up.

" Quiet Goku-san I'm having a mental duel. Good preparation for when I see the Ouji again. If I appear rusty to him

he'll go in for the kill. " she narrowed her eyes.

Goku sat back in his chair, " I am SO CONFUSED! "

" Here Kaasan, have a bag of fish-flavored potato chips! " Gogeta smiled, handing him said bag.

" Thank you Goggie. " Goku grinned.

" You are welcome! "

" I have a hatch inside one of the chairs in this group that when this red button is pushed opens up and sucks the

person on that particular seat out of the ship and into deep space. " Turles smirked, " Feelin lucky? "

" Maybe I am. " Chi-Chi smirked back.

" Erm, could we maybe change the conversation to something that doesn't involve an arguement, maybe? " Bulma laughed

nervously.

" Aww I'm just messin with her, Bulma. I wouldn't send a fellow fan of "type-3 saiyajin as semes" out into space like

that. " Turles grinned, " Besides, she's right. She does need the practice for when we run into Vegeta-san again. "

" Well...that's, good. I suppose. " Bulma let out a minor sigh of relief.

" You worry too much, Bulma. Relax. We can defeat Brolli and if we can't do it physically there's always the option

of sticking HIS head out into deep space where it will explode or launching him along with his spaceship into a black hole

once we've rescued Vegeta-san. "

" This ship could really toss Brolli's ship into a black hole? " Raditsu said, surprised.

" No. This ship has the ability to actually CREATE a black hole. I would merely have it create one directly next to

the ship. Brolli can't teleport or breathe in space.. "

" ..unless he tries that super-barrier of his.. " Chi-Chi spoke up.

" ..he won't if he's unconsious.. " Turles replied, then turned back to Raditsu, " ..so he'll have no means of

escape. "

" Tossing the Big Meanie into a black hole sounds FUN! " Goku grinned, snacking on his fish-flavored chips.

Bulma sweatdropped.

" Hai, it does indeed. However I would only use that as an emergancy plan. Generating a black hole takes a gigantic

amount of the ship's power. We may not have enough fuel to get back to Earth if I were to use it. " Turles said grimly.

" Ohh. " Goku looked down, slightly disappointed.

" Maybe we should just concentrate on training for now. " Chi-Chi said thoughfully.

" I could banter back and forth with you a few more times if you're up to it. " Turles glanced over his shoulder at

her.

" No, I mean actual physical training. " she reached for the case on her back containing her sword.

" Ah, good idea actually. I think I'll put the ship on autopilot and do some training of my own. " Turles stretched

his arms, then hit a few buttons and got out of his chair.

" We should practice our Gotenks moves, Trunks! " Goten chirped.

" Yeah! " Trunks smirked in a Veggie-ish way, " Hey Gohan? "

" Umm, yeah? " the older demi-saiyajin sweatdropped.

" Would you mind being our sparring partner? "

" Pleeeeeease? " Goten's eyes widened up at him.

" Uh, I guess so. Just as long as its not anything too dangerous. We can't have you accidentally destroying any part

of the ship. " Gohan said, recalling Gotenks's personality when compared to the two demi-saiyajin he was made up of.

" Haha! GREAT! " Goten beamed, then grabbed Gohan's wrist, " Come on niichan let's go! "

" ...ah, thanks for the update Kakarrotto. Goodbye. " Bejito finished, then took his hand off Kaio-sama's shoulder

and turned to the others, " Well, they're off into outer space already and nearing the East Galaxy. They should reach

Brolli's spaceship in about 3 days. "

" Wonderful! " Ruby nodded thoughtfully.

" ▫YAWWWWN▫ " Kaio-sama rubbed his eyes.

" You oh-kay? " Celipa asked him.

" Of COURSE I'm not oh-kay! Don't any of you ever sleep! " the kai exclaimed. He pointed to the ou and ouho, " YOU

TWO wouldn't stop lip-locking last night...like a cheesy romance novel ugh...don't you know how thin the walls are in

there? "

" Well you'd think with you being the "Lord of Worlds" you'd be able to afford thicker walls... " Bejito trailed off,

looking away.

" Or earplugs. " Ruby spoke up.

" And YOU TWO.. " Kaio-sama turned to Bardock and Celipa. Bardock sweatdropped and Celipa waved, " Must've been

sparring all night and into the early morning hours! The entire planet nearly split into pieces from it! AND LOOK AT MY

TREE! "

The four saiyajin glanced over to see Kaio-sama's tree was missing its two large branches.

Celipa whipped them out from behind her and handed them to Kaio-sama, " Here you go! "

Kaio-sama sweatdropped.

" Well...you see it started out as a simple sparring match but somehow it escalated into a sword fight..though I'm

not exactly sure how that happened. " Bardock folded his arms, befuddled.

" I think that was after we started using the apples as projectiles, but before we got onto the roof. " Celipa

scratched her head, " Geez you spar long enough and you start forgetting parts of the actual battle. "

Kaio-sama twitched, about to snap but calmed himself down, " Listen. You four can either find another planet to

temporarily live on and another Kai to temporarily harass, OR you could just go to sleep at night like the rest of us. "

" But...we don't sleep. We're dead. " Celipa cocked an eyebrow.

" Yes, but I'M alive! And I do! " Kaio-sama pointed to just above his head. There was no halo present there or

above Bubbles' head as well.

" OH. " Bardock said.

" You know I really didn't notice that when we got here I just sort of assumed...you know, since this is

otherworld... " Bejito told Bardock.

" If its any consolation, we did have fun. " Celipa pointed out.

" ... " Kaio-sama slapped himself on the forehead, " Ohhhh. "

" Back on Bejito-sei, the royal bedroom had soundproof doors... " Ruby trailed off in reminiscence.

" Yeah... " Bejito grinned, " If it wasn't for Freeza, Vegeta'd probably be one of 7 or 8 kids by now. "

Bardock sweatdropped, " Would we really need that many Vegetas running around? "

Celipa wandered off towards Kaio-sama's house again, then noticed a piece of folded up paper on the windowsill,

" Hey, what's this? "

" That's the menu for the Otherworld Food Service. Its how food gets delivered to the Kai Planets. " Kaio-sama

explained.

" REALLY? " Celipa said, surprised.

" Realllly. " Bejito rubbed his hands together deviously.

" Really. " the kai said flatly.

" On a completely unrelated note, Kaio-sama, you wouldn't happen to have a phone on this planet anywhere, would

you? " Bejito said with a false polite smile.

" ...I'll order you all some food as long you all keep quiet during the night. " the kai lamented.

" Great! " Bardock said, " Thanks Kaio-sama. "

" Hai! Thanks so much! " Celipa smiled.

" Can I take the order? " Bejito raised his hand with an evil grin on his face.

" No. "

" ...kuso. "

" YAHH YAH YAH YAH! " Chi-Chi swung her sword while wearing her armor. Goku dodged and blocked each blow as they

bounced about the empty room.

Mirai passed the doorway and sweatdropped, " That looks familiar. "

" Hey Mirai! " Goku chirped.

" ▫SWOOOSH▫ "

" ▫TCH▫ " Goku stopped the sword between his fingers.

" Wow...Goku-san you're good. " Chi-Chi said in awe.

" Heh- I bet you could easily hit the Big Meanie with that if I distract him. " Goku said.

" Yeah, besides after seeing that bazooka I doubt he'll be expecting a sword. " Chi-Chi snickered, putting her

sword away, " I can't get serious while fighting you anyway, Goku-sa. " she sighed.

" Hey Chi-Chi can I test that out for a minute? " Mirai asked, coming inside.

" Sure! " she took her sword back out of its case, " You use them all the time, I trust you with it. "

" I'm so happy so many people came with us to save Veggie. Veggie's defeat-the-bad-guy plans always require backup

and the more the better! " Goku nodded.

" ▫Swing▫SWING▫swing▫... " Mirai swung the sword back and forth, " Huh, this is nice. It's a lot lighter than it

looks considering its size. How was it forged? "

" Can't tell ya, village secret. " Chi-Chi smiled.

" Aw.. " Mirai frowned. He swung it one more time, then handed it back to Chi-Chi, " It's a good sword though. You

could definately cause some serious damage with it. "

Chi-Chi put her sword away in its case, " I could test it out against yours, did you bring it? "

" Hai. Its in storage, or what we're using for storage. Be right back. " the demi-saiyajin from the alternate

timeline left the room.

Chi-Chi walked over to one of the few chairs in the room and sat down, " I'm gonna rest of a little while, oh-kay

Goku-san? "

" Sure! " Goku chirped.

" I'm so glad you're feeling better. " she said, then closed her eyes and leaned against the wall.

" Me too. " the large saiyajin's tail wagged.

" ... "

" ... "

" ▫Sniff▫sniff▫ :Chocolate?.: " Goku blinked. He glanced over to see a trail of brownies leading out of the room

and around the corner, " Gasp! A trail of pastries just for me? " he wandered out of the room, following the brownies in

hopes they lead to some gigantic pile of tasty snacks only to turn the corner to nearly bump right into..

" ..hey there, Kakarrotto. " Turles smirked, tossing an unopened packet of brownies repeatedly into the air, " How

ya doing? "

" May I have those brownies, Turles? " Goku asked, pointing to the unopened packet, " Chi-chan does not a-llow me to

eat off the floor...unless I'm outside and its some kind of animal that I'd just hunted, but you can't hunt pastries in the

outdoors, so...can I have it? "

" Perhaps. Perhaps. If you'd let me speak with you in private for a moment. "

" In private? " Goku looked around to see the hallway was empty.

" Yes, here, come into the regeneration tank room. " the evil type-3 saiyajin opened the door and ushered Goku

inside, then followed him soon after, closing the door behind them.

Goku looked around, a little uneasy due to the various health-related instruments that were probably littered inside

the drawers of the cabinets in the room.

" Your ki seemed to fluxuating quite awkwardly the other evening. Anything crossing your mind lately? Anything you'd

like to talk to me about? I'd be glad to lend you my input and I won't tell a soul about whatever's bothering you, be it

personal matter, or maybe a non-platonic one? "

" ... " Goku laughed nervously, " I..I think I'd like to go now. " he backed up towards the door.

" Don't you want the brownies? "

" I am not really sure anymore. " Goku grabbed the doorknob.

" Tsk tsk, denial and suppression? Kakarrotto I'd expect that sort of thing out of Vegeta-san, not you. " Turles

shook his head in mock-disappointment.

" Well then...then that is just too bad for you. I am not allowed to break the rules and ESPECIALLY not Rule Number

One.. "

" ..Rule Number 1 is on its last legs and you know it. " Turles smirked, still tossing the brownies in the air.

" It is NOT! " Goku stomped a foot on the ground, a flushline covering his nose.

" Says the saiyajin wearing his Vegeta-san-esque armor who's been living in Vegeta-san's room for the past couple

months, training in Vegeta-san's gravity room, sleeping in Vegeta-san's bed? "

" That does not mean anything! " Goku's entire face was flushed pink by now.

" You're much more accepting of it than Vegeta-san would be. Your only problem, Kakarrotto, is you have those rules

of hers holding you back. "

" I'm leaving now. " Goku nervously reached for the doorknob again and missed, startling himself.

" You can escape me but you can't escape yourself, Kakarrotto. "

" You are starting to sound like that voice that says all the naughty thoughts in my head that I have to block out

because I'm not allowed to think them. " Goku said quietly, looking down at his hands.

" That's your own voice, Kakarrotto. All type-3 saiyajin sound practically identical. " Turles blinked.

" But the way it has been talking about Veggie lately sounds like something out of a PG-13 movie! And I'm not even

allowed to SEE PG-13 movies without Chi-chan! " Goku exclaimed, " It talks about things like hot fudge and whipped cream and

o-ccationally even sprinkles! "

" Well you just think on that, hai Kakarrotto? I'm sure once we find Vegeta-san he'll be able to set everything

right for you. "

" You..you mean Veggie knows why the naughty thoughts have been popping up more often and can stop them so Chi-chan

does not get mad at me for breaking the most important rule of all which I have not broken.. "

" ..yet. "

" ... " Goku sweatdropped, " Hai. "

" Yup. Vegeta-san's got all the answers you're looking for Kakarrotto. He IS the answer. "

" Really? "

" Mmm-hmm. "

" That sounds nice. And makes me that much more excited to see Veggie again since Veggie can answer my questions! "

" See? Everything'll turn out good in the end, Vegeta-san's end if you're lucky. Here's your brownies! " he handed

them to Goku.

" Thank you! " Goku wagged his tail, " And thank you for the confusing yet informative conversation, Turles! "

" Sure. No problem. " he smirked back.

Goku grinned, then left the room, " That was nice of him to still give me the brownies after all that. And now that I

know that Veggie can help me get rid of the naughty thoughts I feel GREAT! " he gushed.

" As long as you're feeling great, Kakarroujo, how about a nice t-shirt to wear upon finding Toussan! "

Goku blinked and looked down to see Bura grinning. She was holding up a white t-shirt Goku's size with the word

"UKE" written in big black letters in a slightly fancier font than Vegeta's "SEME" t-shirt.

" I find any boost to Toussan's most-likely-frustrated-ego will not only make him feel better but help him feel

well enough to concoct one of his brilliant how-to-defeat-the-bad-guy schemes! " Bura nodded thoughtfully.

" I still do not know what an uke is, Bura. " Goku sweatdropped.

" Aw that's oh-kay. If you wear it, I'll have Toussan promise to tell you what it means! "

" REALLY? " Goku gasped, " That is one of the things I have often asked Veggie but he has always a-voided the

answer! "

" Well if you wear it so Toussan can see it looks on you, he'll give you the answer. " she grinned.

" Wow, there are a lot of Veggie-giving-me-answers promises going a-round today. " Goku said cheerfully, putting the

t-shirt on over his armor and opening the package of brownies.

" GOKU-SAN! "

Goku glanced over his shoulder and beamed, " HI Chi-chan! Are you here to give me presents in return that Veggie

answer even more of my lifelong questions that I have asked Veggie and he has usually responded by laughing nervously and

walking out of the room? "

" ... " Chi-Chi slapped herself on the forehead, " Ugh... " she glanced over at Bura, " You gave him the shirt, I'm

assuming? " she said, noticing Bura's "Toussan for Permanent Seme" t-shirt.

" ...maybe. "

" Did you give him the brownies too? "

Bura cocked an eyebrow, " No, I didn't give Kakarroujo any snacks. "

" Hn.. " Chi-Chi looked to her left and let out a shriek to see Turles suddenly standing there, " AHH! " she jumped

back, " Don't, do that! " Chi-Chi sputtered.

" I gave Kakarrotto the "snacks" actually. "

" Look Chi-chan! They're the ones with the chocolate chips baked right inside! " Goku waved the packet in the air.

" Lovely. " she said flatly, " Now give me the pastry and t-shirt, Goku-san. " Chi-Chi sighed.

" But Chi-chan... " Goku pouted.

" You don't know if he tampered with those brownies. They're not safe to eat. " she pointed to Turles.

" I wouldn't exactly say "tampered" with... " Turles trailed off.

Chi-Chi paled, then snatched the remaining brownie out of Goku's hands, " Give me that! "

" Ohh.. " Goku frowned.

" I'll make you a whole batch of brownies, don't get upset. "

" A whole batch! " Goku gasped with joy.

" Yup. Infact I'll make you two batches if you hand over that shirt. "

He frowned, " But Chi-chan Bura said if I wear this shirt when I go to see Veggie it'll make Veggie feel better. "

" I'm sure the Ouji will be happy to see you no matter WHAT shirt you're wearing. Now just give it to me. "

" Hai Chi-chan. " Goku took the t-shirt off and handed it over.

" Here. I believe this is yours, " Chi-Chi tossed the t-shirt back over to Bura, " And this is yours. " she tossed

the brownie to Turles.

" Remember Kakarrotto, if you ever have any questions, you know anything at all concerning Vegeta-san and those

perfectly-natural saiyajin urges and desires, feel free to ask. " Turles said.

" Goku-sa does not have any "natural saiyajin urges" about the Ouji. Do you Goku-san. " Chi-Chi turned to Goku and

smiled.

" ...I do not know. " Goku said with a blank, confused look on his face.

Turles and Bura grinned.

Chi-Chi stood there, nervous sweat dripping down her face, " Ah hahaha, oh Goku-san you're such a kidder. " she

grabbed him by the arm, " COME ON. "

" Yes Chi-chan. " Goku squeaked out as she dragged him back down the hall.

" This is fun. " Turles snickered, " Not to mention levels more entertaining than simply searching out ki-enhancing

snackfoods and ways to grow them. "

" Haha, yeah! "

" Aw Vejita you look wonderful. It fits you perfectly. " Brolli said, stepping away from the smaller saiyajin to

get a better look.

" You really think so? " Vegeta smiled, claspings his hands together, " I..I mean I felt a little uneasy at first

about wearing something this color and I wasn't sure why...but I'm glad you like it Burori-sama, it makes me feel better. "

" You're welcome Vejita. Do you need me to help you take it off? Wouldn't want it to get dirty before the ceremony. "

the densetsu offered.

" No, I think I got it. "

" Are you sure? "

" ... " the ouji blinked, " I, I really do think I.. "

" ..here let me help you Vejita-chan. Can't have you accidentally hurting yourself. " Brolli lifted the ceremonial

outfit off the smaller saiyajin, " I'll go put it away for you. "

" Oh-kay! " Vegeta smiled. He suddenly paused, " Hey, Burori-sama? "

" Yes? " Brolli looked over his shoulder.

" When is my otokohime ceremony anyways? " Vegeta tilted his head.

Brolli paused for a minute, stumped, " You know I was so frustrated earlier that I really didn't think I'd get this

far... " he mumbled to himself, " Umm, I don't ever remember there being any set date. " he folded his arms in thought, then

got and idea, " HAH! My birthday! "

" Huh? "

" My birthday's coming up soon, we could have it on my birthday so not only will we celebrate the anniversary of my

existance, but we'll celebrate the beginning of your official Otokohimehood and my official Oujidom! "

" Sounds great! " Vegeta gushed, then paused, feeling something fuzzy in the back of his mind. His eyebrows knitted

in confusion.

" Vejita? "

" Burori-sama, do, I have a birthday coming up...? " Vegeta looked up at him, baffled.

Brolli froze, :That's right. I have the same birthday as KAKARROTTO: he mentally seethed the name out in anger,

" Don't be silly Vejita, your birthday's in October. " Brolli said, telling the truth this time and actually feeling better

about doing so.

Vegeta tracked though his mind for a moment, " Oh yeah! I'm October 31st! Haha...then why do I remember some other

birthday... "

" You probably just got some dates confused..it's rather common for victims who've sustained head injuries. " the

densetsu explained.

" Ohhhh. " Vegeta said, understandings.

" Here, let me help you get the rest of your clothes back on so you can help me make a special cake for the

occation. " Brolli picked Vegeta's shirt up off the ground.

" You're going to actually allow me to help you bake something? " the ouji said in awe, then glomped him from the

side, " Oh THANK YOU Burori-sama! I've wanted to try to make delicious foods for so long now! "

" You're welcome, Vejita. " Brolli smirked back, rubbing the ouji on the back, :Heh, how wonderful, Kakarrotto will

permanently lose all possible chances at making Vejita his; on his BIRTHDAY! BWAHAHA! Happy Birthday, Kakarrotto!.:

" Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh... "

" Burori-sama why are you chuckling evilly like that? "

" Eh? Oh, I wasn't chuckling evilly, Vejita-chan. I was merely clearing my throat. ▫AHEM▫, ▫COUGH▫COUGH▫AHEM▫. "

Brolli coughed, then grinned.

Vegeta blinked, " ? "

" ▫Mix▫mix▫mix▫mix▫ "

" Are you alright over there with the icing, Vejita? " Brolli called from the other side of the room. They were in

the kitchen; Brolli was making a cake and had left Vegeta to make and dye the icing.

" H..hai Burori-sama. " the smaller saiyajin called over to him, then paused.

35.

" Burori-sama, how old are you going to be? "

Brolli paused, a small cloud of confusion hover over him, " Ya know, I'm not really sure. I stopped counting

:around the time Toussan had that hideous device invented: a while ago...I think I've gotta be in my late 20's, early 30's,

either way the exact number doesn't matter in the long run, what with our lifespan lasting at least 500 years. "

" Oh. " he said sadly.

" Anything wrong with that? " Brolli tilted his head curiously.

" No I just, I thought I remembered something. "

" What? " the densetsu shifted around uneasily.

" 35. The number just popped into my head and I thought, I thought maybe that was how old you were turning. " Vegeta

said innocently.

Brolli paled, :GEEZ, 35? I'm surprised. That must be how old Kakarrotto's going to be as well.: " I'm sure its

nothing, Vejita. Best not to concentrate too hard on what you're doing. You wouldn't want to give yourself a headache. "

Vegeta continued to mix the icing. He picked up the yellow dye and poured it in, then continued to mix. His right

ear started to itch and he reached to scratch it.

:Oh Veggie I'm so confused!.:

" ! " Vegeta froze as his mixing spoon fell into the bowl.

" ▫Plop▫ "

" Vejita? " Brolli said.

The ouji wasn't listening. He pulled his hand away and stared at it, :What was that? Some kind of walkie-talkie in

my head?.: he glanced back to make sure Brolli wasn't paying attention to him, then gently raised his hand to his right ear

again.

:If only you were here with me right now to explain all this to me! Oh Veggie I miss you so much, you always know

what to say Veggie how I hope you're alright!.: the voice sobbed. Somehow Vegeta knew this person was sitting on a bed in an

unfamiliar room all alone and feeling like their brain was being ripped in two.

Vegeta bit his lip, then mustered up his courage and spoke, " Hello? "

the person shot to their feet in a mixture of shock and pure unadulterated joy. For some reason a flushmark

appeared over the bridge of the ouji's nose and something deep in the back of his mind sputtered nervously about it being

"purely platonic".

" Vejita... "

The ouji looked over to see Brolli standing there. He grabbed Vegeta's right hand and pulled it off his ear.

" Burori-sama! There's someone in my head and they're really sad and lonely. " Vegeta exclaimed.

" ... " Brolli was looking off in the direction of the control room with a stern look on his face.

" Umm...Burori-sama, could you let go of my hand, I'd like to talk to her...or him...it was a higher-pitched voice

like a type-3 saiyajin's so I couldn't really tell.. "

" ..Vejita you are not allowed to put your hand there until I take care of this. " Brolli said, letting go.

" But, but Burori-sama! "

" Vejita I have to go to the control room, but I can't bring you with me this time. Will you be oh-kay in here by

yourself? " the densetsu asked, concerned for the smaller saiyajin.

" I..suppose so. " Vegeta looked around, " I haven't been by myself before, at least not that I can remember... " he

trailed off uneasily.

" I'll only be gone for a moment, Vejita. I promise. " Brolli bent down to the ouji's height and smiled, " No more

than 5 minutes, oh-kay? " he held up all five finger of his hand.

Vegeta nodded bravely.

" Good. " Brolli got back up and quickly headed for the door. He opened and shut it behind him, then practically

flew down the hallway towards the control room. He screeched to halt before the door and nearly slipped as he grabbed the

handle and flung it open. Brolli dashed to the controls, " Computer, I need a readout of every heatsource within a thousand

mile radius! " he ordered.

A "Searching" display came up on screen and a moment later an overhead projection appeared showing a much brighter

hot of heat than that of his own ship heading straight for them.

" ...Kakarrotto. " the densetsu narrowed his eyes, " And you've brought some friends I see. I don't know how you

found us Kakarrotto but you're going to wish you hadn't. I spared you and your friends lives for Vejita's sake. I spared your

entire planet. And yet that's not enough to keep you away from my Vejita. " he stood up straight, " I will not spare you

again. Kakarrotto if you manage to step one foot inside this ship it shall seal your fate. I will kill you even before you

set those unworthy eyes upon my otokohime. " he hit the close key on his control panel, " You have a family who loves you and

countless friends across Earth and dozens of other planets throughout the galaxies; and you're STILL not happy? Ah well,

whether or not you're content is of no importance to me OR Vejita. However, I'll be happy to fulfill your deathwish with

a slaughter not even Vejita has seen the likes of before. Have a fun last two days of your life, Kakarrotto. " he cracked

his knuckles and turned off the monitor, " Make 'um count. "

" Veggie... " Goku stood there in the middle of his room, his mouth agape, " I heard Veggie. I HEARD VEGGIE! " he

gushed with excitement, then ran to the door and nearly pulled it off its hinges, " BULMA! BULMA YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT I

JUST HEARD TH.. "

" ▫Bonk▫KABOOOM▫! " something hit Goku and exploded in his face.

" –wahhhh.. " Goku fell over, twitching.

" Oops! Sorry Toussan! I thought you were Gohan. "

The large saiyajin shook the soot off him and sat up to see Gotenks and three of his ghosts hovering beside him,

" Oh, Gotenks. " Goku blinked, not having seen the dance fusion since Christmas, " Hi! " he waved.

" Hi! " Gotenks grinned, " Gohan and I are doing a sort of hide-and-seek training exercise, have you seen him. "

" If I told you were he was wouldn't that be cheating? " Goku sweatdropped.

" Well actually it all depends on your point of view.. " Gotenks trailed off mock-innocently.

" ... "

" ... "

" BULMA! " Goku jumped to his feet and raced down the hall towards her ki, " BULMA BULMA I HEARD VEGGIE! " he burst

into her room, " OHBULMAITWASTHEGREATESTTHINGIVEFELTINMONTHSTHATWASNOTAIDEDBYFEELINGSOFCONFUSIONANDAWKWARDNESS! "

" Uh... " Bulma sat there infront of her laptop, staring up at him with a blank look on her face, " Son-kun? "

" I HEARD VEGGIE! " Goku plopped directly infront of her, " I was just sitting there on my bed thinking about all the

stuff that Turles said and Bura semi-countersaid and Chi-chan completely counter-said to both Turles and Bura and I had my

hand leaning on my left ear which is portara-bonded to Veggie's right ear and all of a sudden I heard Veggie talk to me

through the bond and he said "Hello"! " Goku's arms waved excitedly up and down in the air as he bounced around in his seat

like he'd had 5 or 6 super-caffeinated beverages before he'd entered the room.

" Wait, you just talked to Vegeta? " her eyes lit up.

" Well, I would not say ac-tually had a conversation with...but I did hear Veggie say hello and Veggie definately

heard me before he said it. " Goku nodded determindly.

" Oh Son-kun that's GREAT! " Bulma hugged him, " If we're close enough for your portara bond to work even with

Brolli's shield in place we must be getting closer! "

" AND IT MEANS VEGGIE'S ALIVE! " Goku hugged back, then let go and bounced out of the room, " CHI-CHAN, GOGGIE,

JI-CHAN EVERYBODY GUESS WHAT VEGGIE'S A-LIVE! "

" ▫Knock▫knock▫. " Brolli knocked on the door to kitchen, " Hey Vejita-chan, I'm ba..AAAACK! " he let out a scream of

horror.

" OhhhhHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh.. " Vegeta moaned, laying on his back in only his briefs on the kitchen floor covered in

bright orange icing. Infact the entire room was now splattered with said colored icing. There were multiple industrial-size

empty bottles of red and yellow food dye strewn about the room.

" Uhhhhhhh... " Brolli's bottom-left eyelid twitched.

Vegeta scooped a large dollop of orange icing off the floor with his finger and ate and swallowed it whole, letting a

huge purr rip that was twice the size of the one Brolli'd heard in the gravity room a month ago. He tilted his head further

upsidedown to see Brolli standing there staring out at his icing-covered kitchen, " Oh Burori-sama! I've just discovered I

ADORE the color orange! It's the most sensual color I've ever seen! " he gushed, clasping his icing-splattered hands together

and letting out a dreamy sigh, " I even want to dye my ceremonial gown orange as well! May I pleeeease? " the ouji's eyes

sparkled wide with excitement.

Brolli motionlessly lifted his left arm and pressed the top with his right hand.

" WAIYAIYAIYAIYAI! " Vegeta's body sputtered as his crown shocked him. The ouji fell over, unconsious, " ▫THUMP▫! "

Brolli pulled out a pair of tinted green sunglasses and put them on to detract from the massive amount of orange in

the room, " No more red food dye for you. "

" Veh-gee's a-liiive! Veh-gee's a-liiive! " Goku happily chanted as he bounced around the spaceship, " Veggie's

alive and he said he-llo to me and that means I get to see Veggie soon and he's gonna help me defeat the big meeeeanie! " he

said in a sing-song voice while doing a random little dance.

" Could you do something other than jumping around and singing for two seconds? " Piccolo sweatdropped.

Goku paused, realizing he had just been making a circle around the meditating namekian for the past 2 minutes,

" Oh. You're right Piccolo! I should do something constructive! " he pounded his fist determindly onto his palm.

" Good. " Piccolo nodded and reclosed his eyes.

" I'm gonna go draw a picture for Veggie! "

Piccolo sweatdropped, " ... "

" See you later Piccolo! " Goku waved, then dashed off.

The tall namekian shook his head and sighed, then went back to his meditation.

" Gohan. "

" AHH! " the demi-saiyajin jumped, then sweatdropped and laughed embarassingly when he noticed who it was, " Oh hi

Videl. "

" Hey. Listen I have to go to the bathroom, can you cover for me until I get out. "

" Cover you from what? " he blinked.

" I don't want to be standing there washing my hands and have your mom suddenly come into the room and notice the

obvious, erm, growth in my mid-area. " she motioned to her pregnant belly, " The cape covers it from infront but you can

still tell from the side. "

" Sure Videl! I'll keep watch! " Gohan gave her a thumbs up.

" Thanks Gohan. " she smiled gratefully and gave him a kiss, then hurriedly dashed into the nearby bathroom only to

poke her head out a second later, " Gohan? "

" Yes? "

" Why are you hiding in that corridor? "

" Training exercise. "

" ...? "

" With Gotenks. "

" OH.. " she paled, " He's not the most merciful of training opponents. "

" Hahaha...tell me about it. " Gohan laughed nervously.

" Well, goodluck! "

" Thanks! "

Videl closed the door behind her. Gohan once again glanced left and right, checking for any nearby fused ki's.

:" ZZzzz...ZZzz...ZZzz... " Vegeta snored softly as he lay there under the dozen or so of expensive sheets.

" Hey there. "

" Huh? " the ouji opened his eyes and let out a gasp to see a complete stranger laying under the covers to his left,

" AHHH! WHO ARE YOU! And how did you get in here? Burori-sama doesn't allow anyone onto his ship! " he panicked, then paused,

" Wait a minute...why am I worried about you? I don't even know who you are. "

" Oh Veggie... " the figure snuggled up and hugged him tightly, " I knew you'd protect me. I missed you so much. "

" Veggie... " Vegeta trailed off, " Protect? " he stared at the figure as if trying to grasp what it meant.

" Mmm-hmm. " the figure nodded gently, " Afterall you are the great and powerful saiyajin no ouji who protects all

of his peasants and e-specially his favorite one from any and all oncoming danger. "

" I do...? " the ouji paused, then made a gasp of revelation, " I...I DO! I do, I protect you. I am the saiyajin no

ouji, and you're...you're.. " he lifted the figure's chin up to see him better in the light. The figure smiled warmly at

him, " You're... ":

" Vejita? "

" HUH? " Vegeta's eyes flew open. A slight sense of sadness overcame him, " It was only a dream. "

" Vejita, if you don't mind me asking, exactly why are you holding your pillow that way? " Brolli, standing next to

the bed, asked.

" Umm.. " the smaller saiyajin turned to see his face was a mere centimeter away from what had been the "figure". His

face flushed for some unknown reason, " I...uh... "

" Vejita? "

" I had a dream. "

Brolli sat down on the side of the bed, " What kind of dream? " he said, bracing himself.

" There was this strange person, I, I think they might've been a saiyajin like us, and they were telling me that I

am the real saiyajin no ouji and that its my job to protect them from anyone who may wish to do them harm. "

" Did you, see what this "person" looked like. "

" Hai. " the ouji smiled, " I don't even know where to begin, it was the most beautiful saiyajin I've ever seen. And

such a wonderful voice, like some sweet heavenly melody not of this world... " he sighed in awe.

" ... " Brolli slapped himself on the forehead, " Oh Vejita, you know I how I hate to do this to you why do you keep

forcing it upon yourself. " he said sadly.

" Huh? " the ouji tilted his head in confusion, " Force what, Burori-sama? "

Brolli depressedly held up the device and promptly zapped the ouji. Vegeta fell back onto his bed and Brolli stood

up, " Oh Vejita. " he sighed, " Why do you continuously insist upon making Kakarrotto a part of your life. Why can't you

just let him be? "

" YAH YAH YAH! " Chi-Chi and Mirai's swords traded blows.

" Heh, you know, even with as long as I've used this I've never had a battle against someone else who used a sword as

well? " Mirai said, the two of them struggling to knock either one's sword away.

" You should spar against some of my villagers then, you don't know what you're missing. " Chi-Chi nodded, then felt

felt something in her side not up, " Ohhhhhhh...you know what? Could, could we pause this for a second I think I need to use

the bathroom. "

" Uh..sure. " Mirai blinked, taking her sword as Chi-Chi rushed out of the room.

" Hmm...hmmm... " Gohan, in the corridor nearby, continued to keep a lookout for Gotenks or one of his ghosts.

" ▫WHOOSH▫! " Chi-Chi dashed past him.

" AHH! " the demi-saiyajin yelped.

" ▫Fwwwwooosh▫ " the water in the sink continued to run as Videl washed her hands in a slightly awkward manner due to

the large cape infront of her.

:VIDEL!.:

" ACK..▫sploosh▫! " she jumped, then sweatdropped to see her hands had hit the top of the faucet and splattered

water all over her cape, " Oh man. " Videl lifted it up and walked over to the drying machine on the side of the wall, " A

dryer? This'll take forever! Why can't he have a paper-towel rack instead? "

:Videl?.:

:Yes Gohan?.:

:Quick! You gotta hide! My m..:

" ▫POW▫! " Gohan was suddenly thrown back several feet into the hallway. A small figure landed before him, " HAHAHA!

Looks like I finally found you, huh Gohan! " Gotenks grinned, then pointed off at him, " SUPER KAMIKAZE GHOSTS! ATTACK! "

Four ghosts flew out from behind the dance fusion and lundged for Gohan who lept to his feet and assumed a defensive

position. He dodged the four ghosts with ease and spiraled through the air before landing directly infront of the chibi,

" Heh, you're gonna have to do better than that! " Gohan smirked, then froze, " OH NO! "

" Huh? " Gotenks blinked.

" ▫Creak▫ " the door the women's bathroom opened.

" Hey Gohan could you check the men's bathroom and see if there's any paper towels in there. My cape won't dry with

just the hot air and if I just leave it like this it sticks to my middle and you can tell that I'm.. " Videl turned to see

Chi-Chi standing there in wide-eyed shock, staring at her stomach.

" ▫Chug▫chug▫chug▫chug▫chug▫ " a large, flying moving van with clouds for wheels hovered towards the north kai

planet.

" Hmm..I wonder if that's the food we ordered. " Bejito said curiously, looking through a pair of binoculars.

Kaio-sama grinned, " Yup, that's it. "

The van landed softly on the little planet and the driver and passanger's side doors opened to reveal three figures

coming out.

" GASP! " Celipa gasped in surprise, " SAIYAJIN? "

" Type-3 saiyajin peasants? " Bejito gawked.

Sure enough the driver and passangers were type-3 saiyajin peasants all dressed in their furry native village

outfits. The two passangers had on what looked like gi tops with wristbands and boots while the driver had on a briefs-like

fur, wristbands, and boots. The three saiyajin walked up to greet them.

" Oi! Kaio-sama na te lo pida. " the driver chirped, shaking his hand.

" Good to see you again. " Kaio-sama smiled, then let go.

" Uh...Kaio-sama? " Bardock inquired.

" Since Freeza feared the mushy psychic powers of the type-3 saiyajin and didn't allow any of them into his army,

most of them ended up living normal lives instead of being sent to dozens of planets in order to decimate the population.

Because of that, the majority of type-3 saiyajin ended up going, well, up here. " he smiled, " Since there were so many,

Enma-sama even designated them their own plot of land to set up their villages. Anyway they're very helpful and some of them

offered to do odd jobs around otherworld, like these three who deliver food to the kai planets. " he explained.

" Oh. " Bardock said, enlightened, then paused, " Wait, does that mean my Toussan's up here somewhere? "

" Probably. " Kaio-sama nodded.

" Hmmhmmhmm, hmmhmmhmm.. " one of the passangers hummed contently as he carried a large box of food out of the back

of the truck and dropped it on the ground infront of the house, then headed back while another carried an equally large box

towards it.

" We're not going to catch any germs from this, are we? " Bejito asked uneasily, poking one of the boxes.

" No of course not. That's the one agreement these three had to make with Enma-sama. They're not allowed to spread

their germs onto the food. " the kai nodded.

" Ah... " Bejito said, deep in thought. The driver glomped him and Bejito let out a scream, " AAAUGH! " he promptly

pushed the other saiyajin off, " DON'T DO THAT! " he sputtered in fright.

" Heeeee-! " the type-3 saiyajin grinned, " Ko dee pare, Ou-sama! "

" Yes, you'd better apologize. " Bejito said as proudly as he could despite the sudden shock to his nerves. The ou

dusted himself off.

" Heh, he likes you, Bejito. " Bardock smirked while Ruby stiffled her laughter.

" Shuddup. " the ou grumbled, annoyed, " Geez if one of them was going to do that why couldn't it have been one of

the ones who was actually semi-decently clothed! Why'd it have to be the one in the underwear! "

" You asked for it when you got all nervous about germs being in the food. " Ruby said casually, snickering.

" Bobo ze la ell kanpi dojo! " the driver shouted to the others two movers and picked up three boxes at once.

" Wow, he's definately the strongest of the group. " Celipa sweatdropped in surprise as the driver carried the three

boxes towards the door while the passangers each carried only one.

" I bet they're originally from a village nearby my Toussan's. " Bardock said, " The male type-3 saiyajin's outfits

look that way to let the female saiyajins know what kind of prospective mates the males would be. For instance that one who's

carrying several boxes at once and glomped Bejito earlier.. "

" ..must you mention that. " Bejito was still dusting himself off in semi-paranoia.

" ..is a seme. While the other two would be a little of each. If they were wearing pants in addition to the shirts

they'd be ukes. " Bardock finished, " But only a few type-3 saiyajin villages do that and it varies from one to another,

so.. "

" Oh GOD! You mean the SEME one hugged me! " Bejito freaked out. He turned to Kaio-sama, " I'll be using your

bathroom now. Excuse me. " and with that he ducked into the house, closing the door shut behind him and shutting every window

in the house.

Kaio-sama sweatdropped.

" Oop! " one of the passangers dropped the final of the 12 boxes, " ▫Whew▫. Kaio-sama! Nani yo! "

" Wow, that's it. " Ruby blinked, looking over the boxes. She grinned and rubbed her hands together, " We're

certainly going to have a feast tonight! "

" This is for you! " the other passanger happily handed the bill to Kaio-sama.

" Ah, thanks. " he sweatdropped.

" No te lase zobi pique tana, Ouho-sama. Kala sebo moma que ta! " the driver shook her hand.

" Aww, you're welcome. " Ruby smiled, then turned to Kaio-sama, " He says that they're very grateful for such a large

order and how happy each of their families will be when they find out. "

" Wait, each of you has a mate back at your, urm, new village? " Celipa blinked, confused.

" Hai! " one of the passangers chirped.

" I also have three children. " the other passanger nodded contently.

" Muu ta ne gifolo ante do. " the driver said, " Po pitana Ou-sama's "Oh no seme type-3 saiyajin how scary EEEK!" ma

neeta kaki tu nah. " he snickered wickedly.

" You were messing with him, were you. " Ruby laughed, " That's pretty funny. "

" Mmm-hmm! " the driver grinned, " Se, Turles-kun bape no senquesta da ne. "

Ruby blinked in surprise, " You're his FATHER! Really? "

" Haihai! " he nodded. The three of them headed back to the truck, " Goodbye Kaio-sama! "

" Urm, bye.. " the kai said, still in semi-shock from the price on his bill. The truck lifted off into the air and

blasted off into the sky.

" Huh. You learn something new everyday. " Ruby said, smiling.

" Ooh! Just look at all this FOOD! " Celipa opened the top to one of the boxes, " This is GREAT! "

" We should get dinner started then, don't you think. " Bardock said, eagerly eyeing up the mounds of delicious food.

" Yup! But we'll need a table. Kaio-sama do you know where we could find a table? " she asked the kai.

" Ah...yeah...kitchen closet, door on your right...can't miss it.. " Kaio-sama said, staring at his bill.

" Thanks! Come on Bardock! Let's go get ourselves a table! "

" Heh-heh-heh.. " Turles grinned victoriously as he stared at the screen. He hopped out of the captain's seat and

ran down the hall, " Kakarrotto! Kakarrotto we made it! We're here! "

" Hm? " Goku looked up from the drawing he was making for Vegeta, which consisted of the little ouji wearing the

blue gi and being glomped by Goku wearing an orange gi with the words "I Missed You" above them.

" We're here! We're directly below Brolli's ship. I've used the heat sensors and was able to create a 3-D model and

then.. "

" ... "

" ... "

" I can get us onto the ship in less than two hours. "

" YAY! " Goku gushed, pumping his fists into the air.

" Get everyone together Kakarrotto, we're going to see Vegeta-san again before the day is over! " Turles smirked.

" VEGGIE! "

" That's right. "

" MY VEGGIE! "

" Yup. "

" HAHAHA! Oh THANK YOU Turles! " he gave him a quick glomp, " This is the best day EVER! "

" Ah hahaha.. " Turles brushed himself off, " Hai. Would you like to help me dock the ship? I've found a way to

attach our roof to Brolli's unusually small docking bay door. "

" Yeah! The faster we get onto the big meanie's ship, the faster I can save Veggie! " Goku bounced around with

excitement, " And the faster I can save Veggie, the faster I can take him back home and.. "

" ..break a few rules together? " Turles smirked.

" ...uhh... " the other type-3 saiyajin's face flushed pink.

" I'm sure that "little blue gi" probably slips off with much more ease than those training uniform pants Vegeta-san

usually wears. "

" Uhhhhh... "

Turles patted him on the shoulder, " Meet you at the control room in 5 minutes, Kakarrotto. " he walked off.

" ...uhhhhhhhhhhhhh... "

" ▫Creak▫ " the door to the control room opened.

" Ah, Kakarrotto, finally. " Turles said, amused as he sat at the captain's chair. Raditsu was several chairs away

from the evil type-3 saiyajin.

" Where were you? It's been 15 minutes! And he's really hard to avoid! " Raditsu exclaimed, pointing at Turles, who

simply waved back. Raditsu sweatdropped.

Goku sat down in the seat next to Turles, " I had naughty thoughts a-bout Veggie, but since Chi-chan's unconsious I

gave myself a time out. "

" A time out. " Raditsu cocked an eyebrow.

" You know Kakarrotto, there's nothing wrong with reflecting on your long-buried-due-to-"The Rules" surfacing

thoughts of semeness. Embrace your semedom! Afterall, you're a type-3 saiyajin. Infact, three's your lucky number. "

" It..is? " Goku blinked, still a little disoriented.

" Of course! Lots of wonderful things come in 3's. Three meals a day, by two get one free, level three.. "

" ..huh? "

" Oh nothing. Nothing at all. " Turles snickered evilly, then hit a switch and pulled a nearby lever. The ship made

a small jerking motion. A second later a red light came on, blinking repeatedly.

" ▫BEEP▫BEEP▫BEEP▫BEEP▫ "

" ACK! What's that! Something's wrong! " Raditsu gasped.

" Nothing's wrong. That just means we've docked successfully. " Turles said.

" ...but, that light's red. "

" Yes? "

" Usually doesn't a red light mean "stop" and or "danger"? "

" Well, you see, lackey, "

" I'm not your lackey. "

" If this were a non-evil ship, I suppose the color for "we've safely docked ourselves under Brolli's ship" would be

green, but, since both I and my ship are evil.. "

" ..it's going to blink the color that usually signals something dangerous and life-threatening. " Raditsu said

flatly.

" Exactly! " Turles piped up.

Raditsu paused for a moment in shock, " Oh my God...I actually just comprehended his twisted logic with no help at

all! "

" Congradulations! " Turles applauded him.

Raditsu promptly stood up, pale, " I'll be leaving now. "

" Bye niichan! " Goku chirped, " Meet you at the docking bay! "

" Uh-huh... " Raditsu murmured, waddling out of the room with his tail's fur on end and shuddering behind him.

" Well, that was fun. " Turles clasped his hands together, " What do you say we gather everyone up and go save

Vegeta-san RIGHT NOW! "

" EEEE..! " Goku's eyes widened until they were big and sparkily. He lept to his feet and pumped his fist in the air,

" Little Veggie I won't let you wait a second more! Kakarrotto's comin to save ya! " he burst into ssj2.

" That's right! " Turles pumped his arm into the air as well, " You know you should use your saiyajin name more

often, I bet Vegeta-san'd really like that. "

" You think so? "

" Mmm-hmm! Maybe Vegeta-san'll even teach you some saiyago? "

" I want to learn Veggiego... " Goku trailed off in awe, then made a rush out the door, " HERE I COME, VEGGIE! "

" ... "

" ... "

Turles got up out of his chair.

Goku poked his head back in the doorway with a sheepish grin on his face, " Ah.. "

" That way. " Turles pointed down the left side of the hall.

" Thanks! " Goku saluted him and dashed back in the other direction.

The evil type-3 saiyajin picked a capsule containing a videocamera off a nearby table and strolled out the door,

" Heh-heh-heh, oh man do I luv climaxs. "

END OF PART NINE!

Chuquita: (grinning) Hee- the big battle's coming up in the next chapter! (is all excited)

Goku: A-long with the climax!

Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Don't remind me, I'm still undecided.

Vegeta: Hai, you only pop up in your own stories when you're really having trouble choosing between two or more options.

Goku: Like in "Budoukai"!

Vegeta: (grumbles) I should've won that tournament.

Chuquita: But Budoukais are generally Goku's thing, and he wanted it more than you did.

Vegeta: ...does that mean I get to choose the climax this time?

Chuquita: (falls over) NO! I'll figure it out on my own, Veggie. (sweatdrops)

Vegeta: (does false sad pouty expression) Come on, don't you feel at least a little bad for Veggie after my recent

brain-washing?

Goku?

Chuquita: (to Goku) When I place him in an uke situation, if he's there too long and freaking out I sometimes start to feel

bad for him and give him a chance to redeem whatever semeness he lost in the previous scene.

Goku: Ah...

Chuquita: It's probably cuz the majority of my fics pre-"Densetsu" and pre-Turles had Veggie as an unquestionable seme...

Vegeta: (sighs) I miss being unquestioned.

Chuquita: And now that it's being questioned maybe I start to feel bad because it feels like I'd be taking something away

from him...I dunno.

Vegeta: It's hard to psychoanalyze yourself.

Chuquita: (smiles wryly) Tell me about it. (perks up) And now onto the reviewer-replies!

To PiccoloDiamao: After this fic Brolli's going to do something else for a while. You'll find out what at the end of the

fic :)

To tea: Glad you like it! Aw, Veggie's mind isn't ruined. What happened can be undone. Thanks!

To Hakura0: I think it is going to turn out to be 10 parts in all. I dunno if Goku could learn that techinque since when Buu

uses it it requires his head-tenticle. Yeah, it some kind of green, semi-scary, godzilla-like plushie they used. Well, since

Goku uses "Veggie" I wanted to have Brolli have a special nickname for Veggie as well, so I just used the other

pronounciations.

To Gokurper: Don't worry, Veggie will remember by the next chapter, and Goku will do battle wtih the Big Meanie. 200 fics!

Lol, that's a long way off. I don't think I could get to it in 3 years though, unless I wrote shorter fics. It took me a

little over 4 years to get up to Fic 100. Glad you like it!

To SupersayiankingTommy: Veggie's mind will be unerased soon (during the big battle). Glad you like the platonicness. Ah,

formatting floppies isn't too hard, but you need to make sure you don't have anything on them beforehand. The ones I use are

pre-formatted so I don't have to worry about doing anything to them :) Hai, that happens with word sometimes, with word its

safer to keep it on one computer like you said. K!

To PerfectCell17: Thank you! Welcome back! Glad you liked the chapter!

To Albino Black Sheep: Happy you liked it! Thank you!

To Queen Phoenix: Aw its oh-kay :) Glad you like it so far. Heh, sorry Chapter 8 was long.

To Zack, the Sayajin: Ssj4 Goku is fun :) He'll be using that form at some point in the battle.

To Wolfcrysta: Veggie's memory will be saved in the next chapter, don't worry. He will. Heh, just wait til they make dinner

on that little planet :D Ah, chocolate is so delicious! Sonic's kinda like Mario, only instead of throwing balls of fire you

just run really fast. OWW, that sounds painful. Oh yeah, and he kept getting swatted by the narrator, and the P.O.O.P anagram

; "People order our Patties" :D I luved that ending. "The secret ingrediant is.." and they cut it short XD I have the

Spongebob and Patrick beanies. They're currently in the back window of my car behind the headrest.

Brolli: GAH! (knocks Chicken off and into a nearby wall)

Goku: Oooh, exotic fishes!

To Wolfcrysta: I've never touched a live lobster, but I've scanned several at work. Hee, and one more chapter to go!

To Callimogua: Thanks! It's oh-kay, I understand. Heh, I did lots of planning for this fic, more so than normal. "Goku-sa"

is how Chi-Chi pronounces "Goku-san" in the show, which means Mr. Goku. :D

To PerfectCell17: Glad you liked it and Brolli so far!

To GokuGirl: Hai, poor Veggie, having his brain washed. :( Goku's always drawn Veggies...it's just that normally they're

clothed. Glad you liked it! Thanks!

To Lchan: I've drawn and plan on posting it the day I post this chapter. Aw, it's oh-kay. You can also submit photos and

written work to DA as well. Gotcha. Well, Chi-Chi found out. The others find out in Part 10. Lol, how to make Level 6. I

purposely left room open for a possible Piccolo oneshot made during that time period.

To RyukoVulpix: Heh, Bejito's fun to use. That's the downside of using that device. Hn, that could be. She does flip back

and forth between "cheerful Goku-esque personality" and "Chi-Chi-ish personality". Well, the flashbacks were set up to setup

Goku's revelation so I had to have it sorta dramatic. Yeah, it makes him seem slightly less evil that he feels bad about it.

True. Glad you liked it!

To GogetaJr: Veggie couldn't ever completely forget Goku. His kaka-memories are just floating deep in his subconsious. The

poor kaka-germs indeed. :( Lol, Goku rebel. Glad you enjoyed the flashbacks. Ah, glad you figured out what went wrong w/the

e-mail.

To ShiningMoon: Happy you liked it! I never thought about whether or not Brolli exists in Kali's fic. Heh, they got their

snacks. Aw its oh-kay. And don't worry, Veggie won't be shocked much more in Part 10. Glad you liked the plays. Yay!

Kali-outfit:D I really need to get back up to the mall (Would you believe I'm scheduled to go to work for ANOTHER Saturday

in a row! ;.; ) Katamari Damacy sounds fun! I should see if they have it at the Blockbuster nearby. Hai, it does seem

that way Bye!

To Cathowl: Glad you like long fics! This is by far my longest. Heh, Kansho wants to learn how to reformat peoples's brains.

Glad Kakarrotto's happy about the many Veggies. Hai, germs can be dangerous. Brolli won't win the big battle. Really? (looks

at timeline) Huh, that's cool, she actually is going to be born around the same time as in the series. Lol, "Carrot-chan".

Ah, so it'd be difficult for Kansho to take over either one. The asteroid sounds cool! Glad you liked it! K!

To Vegeta Prince of Pineapples: Glad you liked the plushie play. They caught up to the ship in this chapter and board it in

the next. Veggie won't end up as Brolli's uke. The flashbacks were a little of both. :)

To mkh2: Hee-! Oh Goku brought Veggie's "little blue gi" with him. He's bringing it inside the ship for Veggie as well. Nope,

poor kaka-germs :( You'll find out in Part 10! Heh, even with the brainwashing Veggie's own personality is hard to keep down.

To dakarne: He'll be dealt with in Part 10:D

To Little-monkey-girl: Aw its oh-kay. Heh, normally my fics aren't this long anyways. Glad you caught up. :D I will!

To hieilover135: Yup! You'll find out what happens to Brolli at the end of Part 10. Ah, sorry 'bout that. I should've asked

what her haircolor is. I just assumed green cuz it was the same hairstyle. (sweatdrops) Sorry!

To Afrodite: Happy you like it so far! Yeah, he is a little over-determined about that. Veggy's going to reappear in the next

chapter (part 10). :)

To Afrodite: Yup, they either care about Veggie or they are about Goku and want to help him by locating Veggie. Chi-Chi's

much more stable than she used to be. As much as Veggie annoys/frustrates her, he's the only one outside her family who isn't

frightened of her and makes conversation with.

To Jenna & Vash: Cool! Congradulations on your chapter 'n goodluck w/the proof-reading (even when I proof-read my own stuff I

manage to miss one or two spelling or grammar errors). Yay! Veggie-boots! Heh, they just had a whole new bunch of Inuyasha

episodes on Adult Swim. I really like the digital paint they're using now. Lol! Grub tied Hiei up. Haha, Toma. Aw, I like

your idea of how they met too. :)

To Afrodite: Glad you liked Veggie's answering machine and Timeline 8. Yup, gotta have the humor, can't have it all dramatic

for Goku 'n Veggie or else they'll both get depressed.

To Kat-YaOi MaNiAc: Veggie doesn't remember for now. That will be fixed in Part 10. Glad you liked the revelation. Thanks! It

was good. :)

To letgo: I'm happy you like my fics! Hai, "G 'n V" isn't as old as some of the other fics (I think its not even a year old

now) but it feels different with Goku still not knowing what an Oujo was, and Turles and Brolli's absences. Thanks!

Vegeta: (opens the Pepsi) Thanks very much:D

Goku: Mmm! Fish!

To JustSomeGuy: Yup, he did. That is definately the question, which might be answered in the next chapter. Glad you liked the

comic! I wish they'd have used the Chibi Goku DU in Budoukai 3 (there was supposed to be one; I have all the audio files and

it sounds so much fun). Yup, Part 10 is the Big Battle. :D

To Kahlan Nightwing: '.';; Thank you?

Vegeta: (laughs nervously) Ah haha..ha.

To Queen Phoenix: Glad you liked the pic! WOW! That's a big strawberry:) Thank you!

Vegeta: (looks up at super-huge strawberry) Whoa...do you have any idea how many milkshakes we could make with that.

Chuquita: (grins 'n rubs her hands together) Lots and lots of milkshakes!

To Nekoni:

Chuquita: Good :)

Goku: Great!

Vegeta: In the middle of making a very large milkshake so...good as well. :D

To Nekoni: Don't worry, Goku will save Veggie soon.

Goku: Ooh! Doujinshi! (happily sits back and starts to read)

Vegeta: (pales) Pains?

Chuquita: And that ends Part 9!

Vegeta: (uneasy) She said pains. Why did she say pains?

Goku: (flips page) GASP! (looks up) Boy I am glad this is a PG-13 fic.

Chuquita: (to audiance) (grins) See you sometime next week with our very first double-digit chapter! Part 10!

Vegeta: (looks over at the book Goku'd been given) AHH! What the heck is that!
