AN: It was nicer to not have the hit count. 66 people opened this page and only a couple reviewed. Now that is a major slap down for authors!

And thank you to all my regulars for reviewing, I had a feeling the boards were down, it happens often.

Onto replies!

Gutterball: You know, I'm still miserable that you won't let me organise a party for your 'special' occasion. sulks But I forgive you…just like I do everything else. Meet you on the HQ!

Joou Himeko Dah: Thanks for making the time to come back and review once the system was fixed, really appreciate it!

Kagomegirle: I know what a doujinshi is, since I have a couple, but thanks for the thought though!

Hall of Shame – one entry

Doesn't matter: I put warnings on at the start. From then on, it was your decision to read. There's something called 'author's licence', and I'm glad that you took the time to read up to chapter seven (which means you won't even get this reply) but flaming is really not necessary. And if the concept of yaoi/shonen-ai with anime characters bugs you, I can't imagine how you would handle gay HUMANS.

I'm going to stop ranting now before I become unprofessional.

Moving swiftly along:

Karen: Hmmm, I am too. Don't worry! Welcome to the gang! dishes out cookies

Midnightflame-princess: Hah! Reference to my previous story! You rock! Goku's Priorities was one of my better works and I'm glad you've stayed with me. Yes, you are a great reviewer! glomps And I'm glad to have you back too. And Kakarot will soon pull his head out of his ass!

Falconsblade: Heh, yes I am mean. No, no need for tissues. This story has only two or three more chapters. After that, I've got another long ass story coming out. Thanks for taking time to review!

Moonlight-6056: I love Vegeta with a tail. And your wish has been granted…

X The Chichi Slaughterhouse X: Thanks for coming back after the board was down! Yeah, Kakarot can be quite tragic sometimes. Oh, and my sincerest sympathies. Hope I can make you better!

Lenora: Another one of my most loyal reviewers! Yay! Yeah, loves to piss us all off…Veggie also has his spiky head up his ass. And yes, your Veggie must hug Kakarot…make him all happy again.

Clarobell: Alright, so I haven't quite got to Vegeta's entire reaction, but I've got one foot in the door! Oh, and your request for a sequel…I'm working on it…

Onwards

Vegeta's visitor

Vegeta was in the gravity chamber doing warm ups under two hundred times gravity, when there was a knock on the door.

"Vegeta! Turn down the gravity! You've got a visitor!" Bulma yelled from the other side of the gravity chamber door. Vegeta's eyebrows were raised, as he turned off the gravity, and opened the door. Bulma was outside, with none other than…

"Uub? What are you doing here?"

The black-tufted kid looked up at Vegeta. "We need to talk, please, Vegeta. It's about Goku."

"What about him? I don't care about that bastard," Vegeta lied.

Uub grabbed Vegeta by the wrist and pulled him down to his level. "Cut the crap, Vegeta. I know how much you cared about him and a friendship like that doesn't just disappear. You are going to hear me out, understood?"

Vegeta nodded, and smiled to himself.

So, the kid does have a backbone after all. Although, I'm partially to blame for that.

"Fine. But lets talk over something to eat."

Downstairs

"You see, Vegeta, Goku has called off my training. He said he's taught me all I need to know and I need to just keep practising. But I know that's not true. He said he was going to teach me instant transmission, as well as kaioken and warp kamehameha."

Uub took a sip of his water, then continued.

"So, I went to go see him at his house, yesterday. After all, I haven't heard from him in over two months. The door wasn't locked, so I let myself in. Vegeta, you wouldn't believe the state his house was in, and it was a good indication of Goku's state of mind. There were take away boxes all over the floor, empty beer bottles stacked on every table, unemptied ashtrays everywhere and a smell that would knock a maggot flat. When I found him, he was on the couch, totally passed out, I suspect drunk, a lit cigarette hanging out of his mouth and a photo of you in one hand."

Uub shook his head. Vegeta felt sick.

What have I done?

"I was so embarrassed for him. By his feet, there was a little medicine bottle, which was empty. I picked it up and read the label. I couldn't believe it. Somehow, he had managed to get his hands on schedule seven sleeping tablets. I went to the pharmacy in the nearby town, and they told me that Goku had managed to get a doctor's prescription for them. I'll bet my house that Goku used his usual charm and managed to get the doctor to prescribe them to him. The lady at the pharmacy said that Goku had been classified as clinically depressed. I checked to make sure he was okay, then I left. I decided to come and find you."

Vegeta looked at the table, holding his glass of Fanta in between his hands.

"This is all my fault."

Uub stood up. "Vegeta, you have to come back with me. I know that the only person that can pull Goku out of this is you. He needs you now, more than ever. Will you come?"

Vegeta also stood up.

"Let me just pack my stuff. Be back in a minute."

An hour and a half later, Vegeta and Uub landed outside Goku's house, Vegeta carrying a briefcase loaded with capsules containing his stuff. He looked at Uub and they both nodded. Vegeta walked up to the door, and pushed it open, and his heart fell down right to his feet.
