Quote of the Week: -from db tankoben 1
Goku: Whee-heee! This "Futon" thing is gonna be fun! And I haven't slept with somebody f'r way too long!
Bulma: "Slept with"...? You have got to be joking! Here's your blanket..and here's the floor.
Goku: We're sleepin' apart?
Bulma: W'll, duh! An' if you try anything, you're dead!
Goku: But I always used Grampa as a pillow...it was so soft and comfy...
Bulma: You aren't using me for a pillow, freak!

Chuey's Corner:
Vegeta: (reading a few pages into the tankoben) (eyes widen) THAT'S what body part you mean by "pillow"! The CROTCH?
Goku: (sits there contently, wagging his tail) :)
Vegeta: (nervous laugh) Ah haha...ha. (tucks the book away) Y--you wouldn't sleep like that on ME, would you?
Goku: ♥
Vegeta: ...right. Haha.
Chuquita: Welcome to Part 2 everybody!
Goku: HOORAY!
Chuquita: And best of all; school is OVER!
Goku: YAY!
Chuquita: Now all I have to worry about is my job-work!
Vegeta: Just keep writing those notes..
Chuquita: I intend too. (thoughtful nod) OH! Tonight is the VEGGIE episode; previous titled "Trouble on Arlia"; now titled "Terror on Arlia".
Vegeta: (grins evilly) I am both of of those adjectives indeed..
Goku: (happily) It's an episode where Veggie chases butterflies! (holds up a doodle of a Veggie-plushie chasing after a butterfly with a butterfly net)
Vegeta: WAAH! (falls over) (jumps to his feet, embarassed) It is NOT! It's an episode where I land upon a planet filled insect people, plan out an evil elaborate scheme, and destroy their planet!
Goku: (grin) It's a good thing there weren't any worm-people there too huh Veggie?
Vegeta: ...
Goku: Veggie?
Vegeta: (folds his arms) The purpose of this episode was to show how deadly and fearsome I am; revealing my worm-phobia would only destroy my evil threatening image.
Goku: Heehee, "RAWR".
Vegeta: Exactly.
Chuquita: And now on with the chapter!
Vegeta: Oh how I hope I win this tournament...

" Geez this is a long stairway! " Chi-Chi exclaimed as she, Goku, Vegeta, and Turles continued to climb.
" Uh..huh... " Vegeta slowed down his pace a bit so he wasn't directly behind Goku's..behind. The ouji tried to shake
the redness off his face.
" Aren't we type-3 saiyajins WONDERFUL, Vegeta-san-- "
" --QUIET YOU! " the ouji snapped.
" ... " Turles did so, but not without smirking smugly back at him.
" I don't get it, " Chi-Chi turned to him, " Why is the Ouji afraid of you and not me? Is it because you look like
an evil Goku--something the ouji fears; or because you keep bringing in NC-17 topics into Kaka-war? "
" I think its a little bit of both. " Turles snickered.
" Heh, even if such a horrible fate as being plopped into a non-platonic relation with the Ouji, DOES before Goku-san
I seriously doubt there'll be any lemons or limes or consumations between the two of them. " Chi-Chi folded her arms.
" I agree with Onna wholeheartedly. " Vegeta grinned, then paused, " Now there's something you don't hear people say
every day. " he sweatdropped.
" Wow Ouji, thanks for the encouragement. " Chi-Chi sarcastically remarked.
" Hey! I thought you were partially on my side! " the small saiyajin pouted, then let out a yelp as he smushed into
Goku from behind, " EEP! " the ouji's face went red. He bounced back a few steps, " W--watch where you're going Kakarrotto! "
" Veggielook! " Goku pointed to their right to a door labeled Level 10.
" ... " Vegeta walked up to the door an whipped out a magic marker. He crossed out the word "Level" and wrote "Floor"
in its place.
" Heeheehee. " Goku laughed. Chi-Chi rolled her eyes and Turles smiled knowingly.
" There. " Vegeta put the marker away, " Come Kakarrotto. Let's find this room of yours. "

" Hm, second floor. Not bad. " Piccolo said as he took his keys from the clerk. Piccolo Sr, wearing a brown
trenchcoat and a large hat stood beside him.
" At least we won't have to walk far. " Sr added, then felt a tug on his coat and looked down to see Goten standing
there.
" Hey mister, why are you wearing a winter coat? It's July. " the demi-saiyajin asked.
Piccolo Sr's eyes widened, " Could you possibly look any MORE like your father! "
" Hm? " Goten only blinked instead.
:That's Goten, the younger of Son's two..sons.: Jr informed him.
Goten let go of Piccolo Sr's coat and turned towards the door, " GOHAN! PICCOLO-SAN'S HERE! " he shouted at the top
of his lungs.
" AARGH! "
" GAAR! " father and son clamped their hands over their ears in pain.
Piccolo noticed Gohan and Videl approaching from the distance, " Here, take these and go to my room. " he handed the
keys to Sr, who quickly hurried off.
The chibi tilted his head, confused, " Where's he going? "
" Piccolo-san! "
The tall namekian turned to see Gohan and Videl standing there; Gohan pushing a stroller with baby Pan in it.
" Hello Gohan. " Piccolo smiled, " So, are you and Videl entering the competition? "
" Yup! " he grinned Son-style, " Are you going to enter? "
" I already have. " Piccolo smirked back.
" That's great! I hope I get to fight you, Piccolo-san. The stories I've heard from Toussan and Kaasan about your
final battle against him in the 23rd Budoukai sounded exciting. "
" Heh, well I would've won had I not landed outside of the ring. " he replied, " Wait, if all three of us are going
to enter along with the rest of your family Gohan, who's going to watch Panera? "
Videl spoke up, grinning, " Well there is ONE family member who isn't participating in this tournament-- "
Gohan turned to her, surprised, " --you mean-- "
" --yup! My father opted not to sign up for Sparking. He said he was ill but I don't buy that. He ALWAYS says he's
sick whenever he doesn't want to go through with something. "
" At least we don't have to put up with Hercule through all this. " Piccolo nodded.
" But, why would he NOT sign up? " Gohan asked, " You think its a gimmick to get attention since my Toussan won the
previous tournament. "
" Actually I think its the battlefields. "
Gohan and Piccolo turned to Videl.
" There's supposed to be some really weird stuff during the preliminaries and even moreso once you get to the finals.
" Videl pointed out, " Toussan took a peek at them and probably decided he wasn't going to risk it. "
" That's unusually intellegent for him. " Piccolo raised an eyebrow, " Usually Hercule waits until the moment of
danger is upon him to suddenly become sick with a stomach-ache. "
" Well it works out good for us, this way we won't have to shuffle Panera around to whichever Z senshi ISN'T in the
middle of a battle. " Videl explained.
:If such a situation were to occur I'm sure my father could take care of her for a short while: Piccolo thought to
himself.
:ARE YOU INSANE: Kami exclaimed, :THE SHEER IDEA OF TRUSTING YOUR FATHER WITH SON GOKU'S GRANDCHILD? HE'S EVIL,
REMEMBER! SON GOKU KILLED HIM:
:Calm down, will ya: Nail mentally rubbed his ears in pain, :There's no point in shouting inside our head:
:You're only making yourself paranoid, Kami: Piccolo shook his head.
:Am I, Piccolo? AM I: Kami said accusingly.
Piccolo sighed.
" Mental arguement? "
" Hm? " the tall namekian looked down to see Gohan and Videl staring up at him awkwardly, " OH geez their thoughts
were mimicking my facial expressions while we argued, weren't they. " he sweatdropped.
" Umm..yeah. " Gohan smiled cheesily.
" I can temporarily seperate them out of my body you know; but by doing so I drain a lot of my ki. That's why I'm
keeping them in here during the tournament--at least during my battles. "
" Ah. "
Unknowingly, behind them about 20 feet away, Brolli stood at the front desk.
" Hello, I'm Burori Denkiteki a contestant in this competition; I was wondering if you could give me a room that's
on a floor where Vejita-chan's room happens NOT to be on. " he asked politely.
" Of course sir. " the clerk smiled as she went through the listings on her computer of the rooms available. She
paused, " By "Vejita" do you mean Vegeta Oujisama? "
" Yes. "
" His room is on the 10th floor along with the rest of the finalists from the previous Budoukai. Would you like a
room above or below that level? "
" Above would be fine. " Brolli nodded, :I don't need to be on a floor below Vejita and hear his moans of pleasure
while KAKARROTTO performs his sickeningly sexual deeds:
" How's the 11th floor sound? "
" Great. "
She handed him the keys and Brolli headed towards the elevator.
" Huh. I think that's Kakarrotto's non-Vejita sons over there. " he mumbled to himself as he pressed the up button on
the elevator and got inside, having to duck slightly due to his height, " THEY shouldn't be much of a challange to fight. "
" ...and then it takes about an hour or recharge it. " Piccolo continued and Gohan nodded.

" Well...isn't this, umm, cozy. " Vegeta laughed nervously as the small group stood before the now-open door to
Goku's room.
" WOW! " the large saiyajin gushed, " It is more ex-travagant than the one I had last year; if that was even
possible? "
" Is that water fountain actually spewing soda? " Chi-Chi gasped, walking up to it.
" Let's find out! " Goku said happily, holding his arms cuped under the fountain, then taking a large slurp. His
eyes widened, " WOW! It is! " he looked around the room, " FISHES! " the large saiyajin zipped over to one of the walls,
which looked like it was an aquarium. Dozens of little and medium-sized fish swam about inside, " I've never seen fish like
this on Mt Paozu. "
" They're probably special types of fish. You know how there's certain breeds of dogs that are made for show. "
Chi-Chi deduced.
" Yeah, they're too small to snack on if I wanted to anyway. " Goku shrugged.
Vegeta looked around the room, unsure of what to think.
" Could it BE? A heated matress? "
The ouji nearly choked on his own saliva.
Turles held up a remote-control that seemed to be attached to the bed, " Well isn't that convenient. You could just
envelope yourself in warmth on this king-sized bed now couldn't you? " he smirked.
" Uhhh.. " Vegeta blinked, his face turning red.
" What are you freaking out about? Your room's down the hall. " Chi-Chi raised an eyebrow at the ouji.
Vegeta glanced out of the corner of his eyes to see Goku sending pleading looks at him as if begging "Please Veggie
stay here with me in my luxurious hotel room and we'll sleep in the huge comfy heated bed together". The ouji started to
fidget with his gi pants.
" Ouji? " Chi-Chi poked him lightly in the arm.
" HUH? " Vegeta suddenly looked up, alart.
" Veggieohkay? " Goku tilted his head, concerned.
" I'm, I'm fine, thanks. " he looked away, avoiding eye-contact.
" Well I'm going to unpack, no need to get my own room when you have this gorgeous one right here that can easily
house two people. " Chi-Chi said happily, walking over to the bed and sitting on the side while she opened her suitcase.
Goku hugged Vegeta close and started to rub the ouji's shoulders, " Please say something; I wanna stay with YOU,
Veggie. " he whispered in the little ouji's ear.
" You say that like its a non-platonic thing. " Vegeta choked out, his body stiff.
The hug grew tighter and the smaller saiyajin let out an audible gasp.
Chi-Chi and Turles instantly turned their attention to the other two saiyajin in the room.
" Ah... " Vegeta blinked, then started to laugh nervously and pulled himself from Goku's grasp. He dusted himself off
and quickly turned the nervous laugh into a proud boastful one, " BWAHAHAHA! " he slid over to Chi-Chi and grinned, " Kakay
wants ME to be his roomate instead. " he then zipped over to Turles, " But when I say roomate I mean it in a purely platonic
way of course. "
Chi-Chi raised her hand, " Does it confuse you to deal with us both at the same time or would you rather one of us
left the room or.. "
" Turles can leave. " Vegeta said bluntly.
" Yeah, I COULD, but, " Turles sat down on the side of the bed as well, " I won't. "
" WHY NOT? "
" If I left you would just try to annoy Chi-Chi to further puff up your already doomed ego and deny further your
obvious ukeness. "
" ... " Vegeta was quiet, " You see, that's why I want you to leave. You keep trying to undermine my position
instead of my relationship with Kakarrotto; which is what Onna works on. "
Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " I'm not even quite sure HOW to take that... "
Vegeta turned to Goku, " Kakarrotto, this is your room. Tell Turles to get out and for Onna to repack her things
because I'm the one you want you want to go to bed with--platonically. " he caught himself.
" Ummmm... " Goku looked around.
" Aww come on! You had absolutely no problem whispering to me what you wanted a few minutes ago! Don't make me look
like a fool infront of Onna and Turles! " Vegeta groaned, exasperated.
Goku looked up at them, " Ah...I...I wanted to keep Veggie in my bed with me where its safe. " a flushmark appeared
over his nose.
" Aw come on. It's not like Brolli's going to come back in zombie form and try to steal the Ouji again. " Chi-Chi
shrugged.
" Actually... " Vegeta started out, then stopped, :No. I can't tell them I ran into Brolli; Kakarrotto's small
minute very very tiny piece of semeness would expand into super-seme-sama size and WHO KNOWS what could happen: he gulped,
the image of a semeish Kakarrotto passing through his mind and giving him the chills.
Chi-Chi sighed, " Fine. I get that you're still worried about the Ouji and the Ouji's still phobic about sleeping
all alone and defenseless. But its still such a nice room...maybe one of these couches has a pullout bed. " she headed
across the room towards more furniture.
" If you find a second one let me know. " Turles called out to her.
Chi-Chi gave him a thumbs-up sign.
" GAH? TURLES HAS A ROOM! AND SO DO YOU ONNA! "
" I'm Goku-san's wife. I'm entitled to sleeping in the same room as him. " Chi-Chi twitched, " And..Turles is... "
" ...I can go checkup on my lackey and see how he's doing. " Turles contemplated, " I'm sure Vegeta-san can't
properly control himself under such stress. " he snickered getting up and leaving.
" Yes. Good. Go! Leave and never return! " Vegeta shooed him off, slamming the door shut behind him, " Kakarrotto
help me lock this door will ya? "
" K' Veggie! " Goku happily headed over to Vegeta.
" Hmm.. " Chi-Chi pressed down lightly on one of the couch cushions, " No. " she walked over to a sofa and performed
the same action, " No. " she walked over to the second couch, " ▫POW▫! " the seat kicked up, flinging her back across the
room until she hit the floor a foot away from the bed, spinning on her head until falling over on her side like a bowling
pin.
" ▫TILT▫TILT▫TILT▫ " a red bliking tilt sign blunk overhead.
" Isn't "Tilt" pinball vocab, not bowling? " Goku asked.
" Heh-heh-heh. " Vegeta only snickered at the sight, " That'll teach ya for messing with the rented hotel room of
the Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ouji. "
Goku looked down at him, confused, " But Veggie, this is my roo-- "
" --shush. "

" ▫BOUNCE▫ "
" ▫BOUNCE▫ "
" ▫BOUNCE▫ "
" ▫BOUNCE▫ " Vejitto and Gogeta bounced across the room from each other on their individual twin beds.
" This is FUN, Jitto! " Gogeta chirped.
" I was wondering if they were ever going to get to us. " Vejitto grinned, " Bouncing is indeed lots of fun,
Goggie! "
" ▫Knock▫knock▫knock▫ "
Vejitto clapped his hands while continuing the bounce, " ▫CLAP▫CLAP▫CLAP▫ "
The door opened itself Raditsu standing there, doing his best to remain calm.
" HELP ME! " he exclaimed.
The fusions blinked and stopped bouncing.
" What happened? " Gogeta asked, suddenly next to Raditsu, who jumped back a bit from the shock.
" Wait, how did you-- " he looked back at the beds where Gogeta was also sitting, then turned back to Gogeta next
to him. The fusion grinned and Vejitto appeared beside him, " Ah...right. Anyway, I need your help. "
" Don't worry Uncle Ditsu! We'll do our best to aid you in whatever problem you have! " Vejitto saluted him.

Raditsu, Vejitto, and Gogeta stood before the open door to Raditsu's room. Turles was laying casually on the bed
whistling a saiyago song to himself.
" Wow...I suppose that is a pro-blem. " Gogeta sweatdropped.
" Mommy probably kicked him out and he came here to bother you. " Vejitto thought outloud.
" Yeah, that's what I guessed too. " a vein bulged on Raditsu's forehead.
" Lackey! " Turles clasped his hands together, " You've returned! And you've brought backup. "
" I'm not your lackey, now get out of my room or you can stay here and I'll go steal yours since you haven't even
been inside it yet. " Raditsu pointed towards the stairs. He smirked, " Since you weren't a finalist or even in the
tournament last year your room's got to be at least a floor below this one, right? You're probably really bored when you're
by yourself so you're avoiding going down there so you can stay up here and get entertainment out of bothering Vegeta and I."
Turles applauded him, " You're so very intellegent, you know that lackey? I like that in a minion. "
" Just go. " the larger saiyajin sighed.
The evil type-3 crossed his arms, " You want me out of your room you're going to have to drag me out with your bare
hands. " he said smugly.
" OOP! "
" Huh! " Turles blinked. Gogeta held Turles over his head.
" Time to go now! " the dance fusion chirped, walking out of the room. He set Turles down only to suddenly notice
his hands where empty, " Nani? "
" Looking for me? "
Gogeta turned around. Turles was right where he'd been a few moments ago, " HEY! "
" I'm a type-3 saiyajin too just as you both have Kakarrotto's share of such genes. We have the same special
powers. " Turles pointed out.
" Does...that mean I can do that stuff too? " Raditsu asked, curious.
" Of course! " Turles sat up, " Say, how would you like me to teach you how? Instead of being my lackey, you can be
my student! "
" HOW CAN I BE YOU'RE STUDENT! I'M ONLY FOUR YEARS YOUNGER THAN YOU! " Raditsu exclaimed, " I'd rather learn from
my brother or nephews instead of you anyway. You're...creepy. " he tried to think of an adjective.
" Aw, what's wrong with spending a little time together? "
" A LOT of things are wrong with that. " Raditsu twitched, " Besides the fact that you're evil and I don't trust
you. "
Turles made a mock-sniffle, " Ohh, that hurt so much to know you don't trust me. "
" Just give me my room back. " he said bluntly.
" Fine. " Turles shrugged and got off, then left, " I'll take your advise and go find my own room. " he headed for
the stairs.
" Wow. That was sur-prisingly easy. " Vejitto blinked.
" Hai.. " Raditsu narrowed his eyes, " Almost TOO easy. "
" You think he did something to your room, Uncle Ditsu? " Gogeta gasped.
" Maybe. I should check it out. Um, do you mind helping me one more time? " he sweatdropped.
" SURE! " the fusions said happily in agreement.

" ZzzzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzzz..zzzZZZzzz.. " Goku slept quietly as he layed sprawled on his back. Vegeta lay beside him
and Chi-Chi watched them both from the pull-out bed across the room.
" Heh-heh-heh-heh... " Vegeta snickered, then waved contently to Chi-Chi, who only twitched back at him, annoyed,
" Such a delightful sleeping arrangement, wouldn't you say Onna? "
" Shuddup, Ouji. " Chi-Chi snorted back, sleepy.
" You know, you should be going to sleep yourself, it's past both you and Kakay's bedtime. " he turned the nearby
clock towards her to show it was 9:38pm, " I, on the other hand, have a good two more hours before MY internal clock says
its time to take a rest. " Vegeta smirked.
" No way. I'm waiting until you fall asleep so I know Goku-sa is safe. " Chi-Chi said determindly.
" Ha! Do you really think you can out-awake me, Onna? " the ouji scoffed, amused.
" Out-awake isn't a word. "
" ...well it is now. " Vegeta nodded, then turned back to Goku, " It's so fitting that Kakay sleeps on his back; his
arms outward in a manner to draw one nearer. " the small saiyajin started to rub the larger one's stomach, causing Goku to
let out a purr. The ouji took off his own pajama shirt and slid ontop of Goku, " Sooo comfortable. "
" You wouldn't be nearly this brave if I weren't in the room. " Chi-Chi remarked.
" Maybe so, maybe not, who's to tell? " Vegeta shrugged while continuing to smirk, " Say, I bet I know what Kakay
would REALLY enjoy-- "
" --OOOH! STOPIT! " Chi-Chi lept to her feet.
" :) " the ouji only grinned back at her, his tail wagging under the sheets.
" I'm going to ignore you and get my sleep. I know you're only doing this so you can keep me up an extra couple
hours so I wake up tired tommorow and am more apt to screw up in the preliminaires. " she pointed accusingly at him.
" Very perceptive, Onna. I'd applaude you if I weren't so mind-bendingly comfortable laying here upon my favorite
peasant's well-sculpted body. " he chuckled semeishly.
:I'm going to wait until he falls asleep and flip them over so HE'S on the bottom.: Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at
Vegeta, then mentally snickered at the expression on Vegeta's face when he would wake up with Goku ontop of him, :HAHA!
He'll be screaming so loud the whole island'll hear him: " Goodnight, Ouji. " she said, turning so her back faced him.
" ... " Vegeta lay there for a moment, blinking at her, confused. He shrugged and slid back off of Goku, then moved
half a foot away and flopped his head on the pillow, watching the larger saiyajin from the side instead.
:His ki moved off of Goku-san's: Chi-Chi noted, smiling, :That WAS all an act; just as I thought...:
Vegeta stared at Goku a little longer before starting to poke him lightly with his pointer finger out of boredom,
" You seem so much safer when you're asleep. "
Goku continued to sleep snorelessly.
Vegeta poked him a few more times before the larger saiyajin began to tip over and flip completely onto his side, now
nose-to-nose with the ouji. Vegeta froze and sucked in a breath, the finger he'd been poking Goku in the back with was now
touching the peasant's chest instead.
" ▫Hic▫ " Goku let out a hiccup and the ouji's face went red all at once.
Vegeta instantly sat back upright, grabbed the remote, turned the tv on.
" -Hi! Are you madly in love and afraid to tell the person of your dreams just how you feel about them?- "
" AHH! " the ouji yelped and began to nervously flip through the channels before getting to the local weather
channel, " W--weather. Weather's safe. " he laughed half in panic as he leaned back onto his pillow and took a deep breath
of relief.
" Veggie? "
" EEP! " Vegeta clutched his pillow, then looked over at Goku, " K--yes, Kakarrotto? " he said as dignified as he
possibly could at the moment.
" Veggie why'd you turn the tv on? It's too bright. " Goku said sleepily, his words bunching together giving a clear
reminder that he was only partially awake.
" Umm, sorry. " the ouji turned it off, then smiled at him, " I was just..checking the weather to see what its going
to be like tommorow when the tournament starts! "
The larger saiyajin nodded, then let out a yawn, " That's nice. "
Vegeta slid back town and turned back to face him, " Kakarrotto. "
" Hmm? " he sleepily tilted his head.
The ouji grabbed one of Goku's hands under the covers.
" Veggie? "
:Just because Brolli supposedly no longer has an interest in me doesn't mean he still isn't angry at you. If he
runs into you he'll try to kill you I know it: " That's why I gotta watch, that's why I gotta try and keep you safe. "
" Keep me safe from what? "
" Did I just say that last part outloud? "
Goku nodded.
" Um...well, you know, lots of things. As it is my duty as your ruler to guard you, I shall fulfill it by keeping
you safe from all who wish to cause you harm. " Vegeta said proudly, then smirked, :Good save:
" Well then, if Veggie keeps me safe then I'll keep VEGGIE safe! " the larger saiyajin reached over and hugged the
smaller one tightly, then closed his eyes, " Mmm.. "
Vegeta looked around the room, an uneasy feeling hovering over him as if Brolli'd suddenly jump out of nowhere and
attack them. He hugged back and decided he was going to sense for any misplaced ki's every couple minutes or so.

" You'd, like to request a new mattress? " the clerk blinked. Raditsu stood before the front desk along with the
fusions.
" Yes. " he said seriously.
" May I ask what's wrong with your current one? " she raised an eyebrow.
" Vejitto, Gogeta.. "
" ▫THUNK▫! " the fusions whipped out the mattress and plunked it on the desk to reveal it was splattered with tiny
orangish-red dots.
" BUGS! " the clerk gasped, then paused, " Wait, I've never seen bugs like these before.. "
" They're not, they're germs, just not mine. " Raditsu picked one up off the mattress, " Normally I would go to
Vegeta for this sort of thing; but he doesn't use the spray anymore so the only other way to get rid of them is to wash the
infected item off. I know this mattress can't be washed intime for me to get a decent amount of hours to sleep so I want to
trade it in for a new one. "
The clerk stood there, still a little confused. She shrugged it off, smiling, " Oh-kay. "
" GREAT! Thanks so much! "
" I'll have a new mattress sent up to your room immediately. "

" So, do you think he left his germs there on purpose? " Vejitto asked Raditsu as the trio made their way up the
stairs back to the 10th floor.
" I dunno. I can't really figure Turles out. I mean, he's kinda like Vegeta but he's not. " Raditsu tried to
explain, " With Vegeta there was always a double motive. He does stuff but there's always an underlying reason why; because
he gets too embarassed to admit things. But this guy...he seems so...direct. Like he knows what he's doing. I have to admit
he makes me uneasy. Vegeta worried me sometimes but that's only because I started to think of him like a brother after a
certain point, I didn't want him to get himself hurt or killed. But Turles...Turles makes me QUEASY inside. "
" I do not trust him either, Uncle Ditsu. " Gogeta shook his head, " Trying to undermine Toussan's Toussaness like
that. "
Vejitto shrugged, " Mommy just doesn't wanna give up his control. "
" I think you can still be in control and be an uke. " Gogeta thought, confused.
" I wouldn't know, I've never been an uke. " Raditsu shrugged, then sighed, " We really gotta wish Bejito-sei back;
then maybe I'll find someone with a ki closer to mine. " he then grinned, " You guys'd like to have an aunt, right? "
" ... " ▫
" ... " the fusions tilted their heads curiously.
Raditsu sweatdropped, " Yah... "

" Yawwwwwn! " Goku let out a large yawn as he contently opened his eyes. The nearby alarm clock read 5:49am and the
saiyajin smiled. He glanced over at Chi-Chi, who was still asleep on the pull-out bed, then back at Vegeta beside him and
let out a purr, " Aito de yo, Veggie. Aito de yo sesen tama po laquen cia. Aito de yo fee ne piita. Aito de yo ev va tiempo
moma aapo. Sah, beben la todaa Ii un dia awa; panana hoi yo te ee. "
" Goku-san? "
" EEP! " Goku gasped. He looked over his shoulder to see Chi-Chi leaning against the bed staring at him oddly; still
in her pajamas, " Oh, hi Chi-chan. "
" You know the Ouji's still asleep right; that he can't hear you. " she poked the unconsious ouji in the arm.
The large saiyajin smiled, " Yeah, but its nice because, this way I can get things off my chest. When Veggie's
asleep, I can tell him whatever I want and he won't get upset or frightened. And if I tell him in saiyago, neither will you."
" ... " ▫
" N--not that what I just said has the a-bility to scare you in any way.. " he shifted around uneasily.
" Yeeeah. Right. " Chi-Chi sat down on the side of the bed awkwardly.
" ... " Goku lay there, his pupils wide.
" ... " ▫
" So! I'm going to get cleaned up and ready to go; you should wake the Ouji up; the adult preliminaries may not be
until 11am but the children's tournament is at 9am, and its almost 6. We have to get ready so we can watch Goten and Trunks
compete. " she headed for the bathroom.
The large saiyajin flopped back onto his pillow and turned to face the little ouji beside him and smiled,
" Oh Veggie. " he reached to pull the ouji closer.
" Goku-sa get dressed and wake him up; we have to get some breakfast and I know how long its going to take to make
enough food for the two of you. " Chi-Chi stuck her head in the room, then sweatdropped, " Is stroking his back really going
to wake him up? "
" Veggiesosoft, Chi-chan! " Goku chirped.
" I'm sure he is. " she said flatly, " Just hurry alright. " Chi-Chi ducked her head back inside the bathroom and
the sound of water turning on could be heard.
Goku gave the smaller saiyajin one more hug, then got out of bed and propped Vegeta up, " Veggie, Veggie its time to
wake up. "
" Zzzz... "
" Veggie? Veggie? "
" ZzzzZZzzz.. " Vegeta continued to snore.
" Ohhh, it is always so hard to wake you up, Veggie. You sleep like a rock. " Goku sighed, then let out an excited
gasp as an idea hit, " I got it! "

" Ahhh, that feels so much better! " Chi-Chi said happily as she emerged from the bathroom, " I'm dressed, ready
to have breakfast and go! "
" Me too! "
Chi-Chi turned to the kitchen table to see Goku and Vegeta sitting there; both dressed. Vegeta's head seemed to be
drooping however and his body was leaning to one side, " Ouji? You oh-kay? " she came closer only to gasp, " He's still
ASLEEP? "
" Haha, yeah. I couldn't wake Veggie up so I decided to dress Veggie myself. " Goku grinned.
An amused smile covered Chi-Chi's face, " You're kidding? " she propped Vegeta against the back of his seat, " Wow,
good job too; it looks just like if he'd dressed himself. "
The larger saiyajin smiled proudly, " We should get something to eat, I know FOOD can wake up Veggie! " he picked
the ouji up under his arm and pointed off into the distance, " To the food court! "
" To the food court! "
" Zzzz... "
dl

" This is so good! " Goten said happily as he and the rest of the group ate breakfast at one of the tables in the
food court.
Bulma took a sip of her coffee and sighed, " I have to admit Budoukai Island really knows how to treat its visito-- "
" --NOPA LE QUIENDO! " Vegeta shouted suddenly, waking up into a sweat.
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
" Vegeta? " Bulma asked questioningly.
" Uh... " the ouji blinked, trying to regain knowledge of his surroundings, " How did I get here? "
" I carried you! " Goku said cheerfully between bites of waffles, " Veggie was sleeping. "
" Oh. " the ouji looked at the pancakes infront of him and casually began to eat.
" Well you seem very calm about this. " Chi-Chi smirked.
" Why shouldn't I be? " Vegeta raised an eyebrow, still a little drowsy from just waking up.
Chi-Chi pointed to her shirt.
The ouji looked down at his own clothes, " So? I wear this every day... " he trailed off, " I went to sleep in my
boxer shorts. " Vegeta said in a faraway voice, " And now I'm fully clothed. " the small saiyajin reached and nervously
pulled down the side of his pants, " And I'm wearing a different set of underwear. " the boxers he'd gone to sleep in were
white, these new ones were orange. The ouji nervously looked around the table only to see Goku sitting across from him while
smiling warmly and knowingly at the smaller saiyajin.
" You know Ouji, you're easily the deepest sleeper I've ever met. " Chi-Chi said teasingly, " Why Goku-sa could do
just about anything to you in your sleep. "
Vegeta's eyes widened in paranoia and sweat began to drip down his face as his cheeks flushed red.
" Of course, he chose to do it completely in private, while I was in the shower. "
Turles grinned cheekily, " Kakarrotto stripped you naked huh, Vegeta-san? How very PG-13. "
" WAAAH! DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT SAY "UNCLOTHED YOU" OR "DEROBED" OR "CAUSED YOU TO TEMPORARILY LACK BODILY
GARMENTS"! " the ouji sputtered, his entire face now red.
" You can call it whatever you like Vegeta-san it doesn't change what happened. " Turles said cooly.
" Hn.. " a vein bulged on the ouji's forehead.
" I was only trying to be helpful. " Goku sulked.
" SEE! " Vegeta pointed to Goku while still watching Turles, " What Kakarrotto did was out of a purely platonic
motive! Completely PG!"
" Uh-huh. " Turles said, not believing him.
" OOOOH! " the ouji turned back to Goku, " Kakarrotto say something! Tell him that there's nothing non-platonic-- "
" --sexual. " Turles injected.
" --NON-PLATONIC-- " Vegeta gritted through his teeth, " --between us. "
" There is nothing non-pla-tonic between us, Veggie! " Goku wagged his tail.
" HAAA! " Vegeta ha'd in Turles's face.
Turles chuckled at him, " What an uke.. "
" GASP! I AM NOT AN-- "
" --Attention all Sparking Participants! The children's tournament will begin in 20 minutes. Please report to Station
4 until further notice. Thank you. " a voice over the intercom announced.
" Well! " Trunks got up, " Off we go! "
" HOORAY! " Goten cheered, " I'm gonna beat you this time too, Trunks! "
The slightly older demi-saiyajin smirked, " Don't be too sure of that. "
" Yeah, I might beat both of you! " Bura grinned.
Trunks and Goten blinked, " You're entering? "
" Of course. Why waste my accidentally-delayed growth-spurt? I wanna find out just how many rounds I can last. " she
said proudly.
Goten looked confused, " But, you can't even go ssj-- "
" --yet. " she pointed out.
" Yes, let's all speak of something not related to Kakarrotto and I. " Vegeta said contently, patting Bura's
shoulder, " I'm sure if you asked to train with me Bura I could teach you to go ssj. "
" REALLY? "
" Mmm-hmm. "
" Heh! " Bura pumped her fist in the air, " All the more reason for me to try my best! "
" YEAH! " Vegeta pumped his fist in the air as well.
" By the way I brought your Seme shirt. " she held up the black t-shirt with the ripped sleeves and bright red
letters that read SEME across the front.
" Why THANK YOU, Bura! How considerate! " Vegeta happily took it from her and put it on, then blew a raspberry in
Chi-Chi and Turles's direction.
Chi-Chi rolled her eyes at him, " Drama-Queen. "

" There's still two more hours to go before the preliminaries, why are we out here so early? " Piccolo Sr asked as
he and Piccolo Jr strode through the crowds.
" Its simple. Look at how many people have boarded the island since last night. And this isn't even half as many as
will be here for the actual tournament. It's better if we find our seats now instead of having to risk a spectacle later. "
Jr explained, walking up to two seats on the end and sitting down along with his father.
Piccolo Sr materialized two bottles of water and handed one to Jr, " Surprising number of Son Goku fans around here."
" He was already well known for defeating the two of us in battle along with the Red Ribbon Army...but with his
recent Budoukai win his popularity has suddenly skyrocketed. I'm surprised the location of his house hasn't been handed out
to the public; they would be swarming over Mt. Paozu. "
" Perhaps we could keep this as helpful knowledge for the future; if Son Goku attempts to interfere with one of our
attempts at global domination we could threaten to expose his location to the masses. " Sr smirked.
" If we are put in a position to expose that I would prefer to wait until Gohan has re-moved out. I think of him as
my own son and I dislike the idea of him being trampled to death in his own home. " Jr replied.
" Agreed. " Sr sat back and took a chug of his water as people began to pour into the stadium.

" Now first off I'd like to say WELCOME to Budoukai Island and you're all winners simply for entering the
competition. " the Budoukai Announcer announced to the participents of the children's division.
Goten looked around, then raised his hand, " Mr. Announcer Guy, why are there only 16 of us? The last tournament I
was at had at least 60 other kids. "
" Well that's because some people heard that the Adult Division's rounds are going to be "very dangerous" and by a
direct result they assumed the children's division would be the same. However this is completely false though sadly it has
lead to such a drop that we're forced to leave out the preliminaries and move straight to the championship. "
" YES! " Bura pumped her fists in the air, " I get to the championship no matter what! "
" You're still gonna have to fight me or Goten at one point. " Trunks said, folding his arms.
" Hmmph. I don't care because I know both your weaknesses. "
" We don't HAVE any weaknesses. "
" Surrre you don't. "
" Alright kids, now we're going to all march out into the arena Budoukai-style so your parents and take their
pictures, then we'll come back inside and you'll choose your opponents via our lottery box. " the announcer finished.
Two Budoukai workers walked up to the small group and lead them outside.

" Ohh, come on hurry up the competition is about to start! " Vegeta twitched as he and Goku waited for their
ice-cream cones to be made. Goku already held an armful of snacks and Vegeta had a soda can, " I don't want to miss seeing
Trunks and Bura defeat the other chibis! "
" Aww, calm down Veggie. I am sure we'll make it in time. " Goku said confidently as he was given his chocolate
ice-cream cone, " Besides I can always teleport us there. "
" I..guess you're right. " Vegeta said as he took his strawberry ice-cream cone topped with sprinkles.
The two walked back towards the stadium.
" Veggie reminds me of ice-cream. "
The ouji looked over at him and raised an eyebrow with his tongue still on the strawberry-flavored frozen treat.
" Veggie's cool and sweet, and when he gets warm he melts into a lump of hot Veggie-goo! "
Vegeta sweatdropped and flushed at the same time, " I'm not exactly sure how to respond to that. "
" Excuse me? "
" Hm? " Goku and Vegeta turned to see a lengthy line behind Goku.
" You're really Son Goku, right? Will you sign my t-shirt? " she asked, holding out said article of clothing.
Those behind her held up their own random objects.
" Aw, sure-- " Goku started out only to have Vegeta bounce infront of him.
" --KAKARROTTO IS MINE! " the ouji snapped, then paused to see those who had formed the line staring at him oddly,
" Ah--PLATONICALLY. And, as his royal bodyguard it is my duty to make sure that he gets to his son's match in safety. " he
picked Goku up over his head, " Come Kakarrotto. "
Goku sweatdropped, " But Veggie they weren't trying to hurt anyone. "
" Hey, aren't you the guy who Son Goku fought in the final round last year? " one of the people a little further back
in the line asked.
" Yup! This is Veggie! Say hi to Veggie everybody! " Goku introduced him.
" HI VEGGIE! "
Vegeta sweatdropped, then turned back to them, " My name is Vegeta Oujisama; the Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ouji
and heir to the planet Bejito-sei. " he announced semeishly, " And now I must bid you ado. "
" Hahahaha. " Goku laughed at the little ouji from above him.
Vegeta lifted off into the air, then blasted towards the arena.
" WHEE! It's like riding Kinto'un only with Veggies! "

" Now, here is how the tournament works. " one of the Budoukai workers pulled down a chart for the 16 chibis to see,
" The 16 of you will be divided into two groups of 8. The group you end up in will be determined by which number you choose
from the ball lottery machine. There will be 4 rounds total and in each round there will be different conditions which you
must endure; but for safety reasons these conditions are at the most basic level; they're nothing compared to those
conditions and dangers in the adult tournament, but they are still very challanging. " he explained, " In round one there
will be no KO's. You MUST knock your opponent outside the ring. In round two you will choose kicking or punching and announce
it to your opponent. You will stay solely with the technique you have selected. If you chose foot-related attacks and through
a punch, you are out. The same goes for the other way around. In the third round the platform itself will rotate and pick up
speed throughout the match. And in the final round the size of the platform will become half its original size. In the third
and fourth rounds regulatory KO's, Out of Bounds, and "I Give Up"'s will be officially back in play. Is that clear? "
The chibis nodded.
One raised his hand.
" Yes? "
" How come we don't get the fun stuff like the adults get like volcanos and stu-- "
" --because it is dangerous for children under 12 to battle in. " he answered simply.
" WOW! There's a volcano? " Goten said excitedly.
" Now then, " another worker moved the lottery machine over to them, " Everyone pick a number and let's get started.
dl

And so, the children's tournament began.
" Aw Goten you're so lucky you get to go first. " Bura said, looking over at chart which had marked down the number
balls they'd chosen and mapped them out over the order of rounds. Goten as 1, Bura 3, and Trunks 6.
" I guess I'll be seeing one of you in the finals then. " Trunks smirked, then frowned, " It's going to be a short
first two rounds though. I'm not even in the same block as you two. "
" That's oh-kay, that just means it'll be all that more easier for you and you'll be well-rested for the finals. "
Bura pointed out.
" YEAH! " Trunks said determindly.
" And that means it'll be all the more easier for one of us to catch you off-guard! " Goten chirped.
" ... " Trunks sweatdropped.
" The first match of the children's division is about to begin! Will both participents please report to the arena! "
a voice said over the loudspeaker.
Goten waved goodbye to Trunks and Bura, then left the building along with another boy about the same age. They both
stepped into the arena and the announcer walked between them.
" WELCOME EVERYBODY TO A HISTORICAL EVENT IN THE MAKING! BUDOUKAI ISLAND'S FIRST EVER "SPARKING" TOURNAMENT! " he
exclaimed like a narrator in a movie advertisement.
The audiance roared with cheers and applause.
" He looks exactly like his father, furry tail and all; albeit he's slightly thinner. " Piccolo Sr observed from his
seat, " Less body muscle. "
" Shouldn't let that fool you though; Goten could easily defeat his older brother's 10 year old counterpart. " Jr
pointed out.
" And Son Goku's? "
" I can't be completely sure on that; he's certainly stronger, but Son Goku grew up in the wilderness from age 2 to
12; he's much more cunning then I believe the other "z senshi" give him credit for--and that he lets on. "
" Alright boys, you know the rules. Have a fair and fun fight. " Announcer guy told them before leaving the arena.
The drummers began to play, speeding up their tempo as they went until releasing in unison a single loud thump to
signal the start of the match.
" HAAAAAAAAAAA! " the other boy ran flying at Goten, who had a perplexed look on his face.
Goten struck his arms out, " KIAH! "
A huge gust of wind rushed forth from him at his opponent and sent the boy flying off the stage and into the grass
by the arena just a foot from one of the drummers.
The arena was silent for a moment, then burst into cheers.
" The winner is, Son Goten! " the announcer held the chibi's arm up.
" YAY! " the demi-saiyajin waved his free arm in the air.
Bura sweatdropped, " All he did was perform a single kiah. "
Trunks sighed, " This is why I'd rather be in the adult tournament; at least there we'd get a challange. "
" If we were in the adult tournament we'd have a slim to none chance of winning, not to mention getting past the
first round if we made it that far. " Bura waved her finger in the air.
" Hey guys! I'm back! " Goten said happily, hopping down the step and into the building.
" Hey Goten. " Trunks waved.
" And now for Match 2! " the announcer announced.
" Well, that's me! " Bura stretched a bit.
" I wish you'd have told us you were going to enter beforehand; I could've taught you how to go ssj. " Trunks shook
his head.
Bura smirked, " Wanna give me a crash course now? " she teased.
" I don't think you can really teach that sort of thing. " Goten blinked, " I just went super saiyajin out of nowhere
one day while sparring with Kaasan. "
" Off I go! " Bura said happily as she dashed out into the ring, followed by a boy about a year younger than Goten.
" Alright! Match 2 of Round 1 is about to begin! And remember, NO KO's! " announcer guy said, then left the stage
again.
The drums repeated their tempo-increasing beat from the first match.
" AND, GO! "
" Heh. " Bura struck a defensive position as her opponent ran at her screaming. At the last second she flipped up
into the air and somersaulted over him, then landed a kick to his back. The boy yelped as his arms wobbled rapidly trying to
keep from falling over the very edge of the ring. He finally regained balance, then carefully started to back up so both feet
would be fully on the ground when a force pushed him from behind, knocking him forward and onto the grass beside the ring.
" ▫BOMPF▫! "
" Oww. " he sweatdropped, embarassed.
" The winner of Match 2, Bura Briefs! " announcer guy shouted as Bura grinned victoriously.
Bura grabbed the mic, " I owe this victory to my royal semeish Toussan, Vegeta Oujisama! " she pumped her fist in the
air.
" Bwahahaha! " Vegeta laughed happily from his seat, " That's my girl. "
" Ouji-cheerleader. " Chi-Chi rolled her eyes.
" Quiet you. " he huffed, then finished off his ice cream.
" The children's matches are so very short. " Goku said, disappointed.
" Well yeah, not everybody has super-powers. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" At least we have a great view thanks to Launch! " Yamcha pointed out, patting her on the shoulder.
" What do you think you're doing. " Launch, in blonde-hairred form, twitched at him.
" Ah, hahaha. " Yamcha laughed nervously, pulling his hand away, " Just a friendly gesture of thanks. " he
sweatdropped, :At least I won't have to fight HER in the tournament.: he sighed with relief.
" Hmmhmmhmm, hmmhmmhmm. " Bura hummed happily to herself as she strode out of the ring and back into the building,
" Well, that was fun. "
" Fairly creative, sis. " Trunks smirked.
" Why thank you. " she smirked back, equally amused, " So Trunks, what're you going to do? "
" Eh, simple kiah like Goten. I wanna get to the good part of this children's tournament as fast as I can. " he said,
walking away.
" Geez you don't even know when the next tournament is going to be; it could be 3 or 4 years from now; at least have
a little fun even if you're opponent's a lot weaker than you are. " Bura shrugged.
Trunks got into the arena, followed by a boy who was easily a head taller than he was.
" Don't worry kid, I'll go easy on ya. " the other boy snickered.
" Sure. " the demi-saiyajin said smugly.
" ▫BUM▫BA▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BA▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BA▫BUM▫BUM▫ " the drums played in the background.
" HAAAAA! " Trunks burst into ssj and let out a humongous kiah that sent the taller boy flying off into the air and
out of the stadium.
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... "
" A little over the top don't you think? " Bura laughed nervously.
" Nnn..nggn.. " the boy hung there clutching onto the very back of the stadium, " HELP ME! "
People seated nearby gasped and a couple pulled the young boy back over the edge. He plopped into one of their seats
and gasped, trying to catch his breath.
Mirai shifted around, embarassed.
" Well, its easy to see who his teacher is. " Bulma sweatdropped.
" Indeed. " Vegeta nodded mock-wisely.
" ... " ▫
" Hey its not like Trunks blasted him so far that he would be in actual physical danger! " Vegeta nodded
thoughtfully, " Why if I wanted to I could use a blast of similar nature to knock-- " he looked down the row; Goku, Vejitto,
Gogeta, " --Raditsu that far! "
" Hey! " Raditsu sweatdropped.
" Well, you're the closest one to my seat who isn't slightly stronger than I. " Vegeta sputtered.
" Ah. "

And so the next match and round passed uneventfully.
" EVERYBODY READY FOR ROUND 3? " Announcer guy exclaimed excitedly as he stood on stage. The audiance roared as
Goten, Bura, Trunks, and another random child waved to them.
" Hee " Goten grinned excitedly.
" Next up we have Son Goten VS Bura Briefs. If the two remaining participants would follow me off-stage. " he
motioned for Trunks and the other child to follow him, which they did.
" Aren't you going to wish one of us goodluck? " Goten asked.
Trunks smirked and continued on.
" He doesn't want to have to choose sides I guess. " Bura scratched the back of her head, then struck a position she
had seen Vegeta perform while sparring, " Oh-kay! Let's go--WHOA! " the platform began to spin and Bura fell onto her
behind, " Ouch. " she got back up and sweatdropped, " At least warn us its coming in advance! "
Goten stood there cheerfully, completely unaffected by the platform which was now spinning at 2mph.
" Hn. " Bura got up and dusted herself off.
" ▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BOOOM▫! "
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
" Well? " Bura said.
Goten turned so he was facing her sideways, then began to lightly jog. The platform was moving a little faster now,
at about 4mph. At the speed Goten was jogging at he seemed to be getting nowhere. All of a sudden he began to speed up,
multiplying the platform's rotation several times over.
" WAAH! OOOH! " Bura twitched, then turned to her side and started to run in the opposite direction, neutralizing
Goten's running effects.
The two began to move faster along with the platform itself until they were perfectly matched.
" Come on Goten, let's stop all this running and actually fight. Besides this is getting tiring. "
" Heh. "
Bura blinked, " Ah, Goten. "
" ▫FWOOOOSH▫! " the chibi burst into ssj as his speed increased 10 times over in an instant and caused Bura to stop
running instantly as a sickened feeling welled up in her stomach. She clasped her hands over her mouth and sat down. The
demi-saiyajin's cheeks began to turn green and she bravely forced her partly-digested breakfast back down her throat.
" BLAAAAH! " Bura hacked out, then promptly fell over and hit the rotating floor with a thud.
Goten slowly stopped jogging, then walked over to her as the platform continued to rotate, " Bura? Bura? "
" ... " her fingers twitched as she lay there with swirly eyes of that of a confused, dizzy, and nauseous person.
Announcer guy motioned for them to stop the platform from moving, then walked up to the two chibis.
" I think she fainted. " Goten said, confused.
He looked Bura over for a moment, the nodded, " Alright. " he turned to the audiance, " I will now proceed with the
countdown! 10. 9. 8. 7. "
Piccolo Jr folded his arms in thought, " You know I was thinking of perhaps spawning a child of my own. "
" He would easily defeat these humans and chibi saiyajins in battle. " Sr smirked.
" 6. 5. 4. 3. "
" Ohhh, poor Bura. " Bulma said, worried, " I guess she's got my stomach afterall. " she glanced over at Vegeta who
was on his 3rd cheeseburger, " She certainly doesn't have yours. " Bulma sweatdropped.
" Hm? " Vegeta blinked, then looked over at Goku who had a jumbo hot-dog covered in ketchup and cheese sauce halfway
in his mouth.
Goku shrugged, equally confused.
" 2. 1. "
" ... " ▫
" IT'S A KNOCKOUT! SON GOTEN MOVES ON TO THE FINALS! "
Bulma got up, " Come on Mirai, let's go help Bura get situated. "
" Alright. " Mirai agreed, following her past the row and down the stairs.
" Stay tuned ladies and gentlemen because in less than 3 minutes the 2nd fight to decide who will be in commence! "

" Ahhhhh! Such a beautiful day out, wouldn't you say Kyohaku? " Brolli smiled as he left the hotel, stretching his
arms a bit, " You know, I think a thunderstorm would better serve Kakarrotto's utter psychological an partly-physical
demise before his friends, family, and fans; but the sun makes for a fitting irony. " the densetsu continued his walk to
the arena, then noticed the jumbo-tron plastered on a tall, nearby building. On its screen shown the current children's
tournament standings, " So, Kakarrotto's younger spawn has made it to the finals. And he looks practically like a clone of
Kakarrotto--that poor poor kid. " Brolli shook his head, then grinned, " Ah well! "

" Ohhhhhhhh, why did I eat the nachos, why did I eat the nachos, " Bura moaned as she lay there on one of the
couches in the waiting area, recovering. Bulma bent down beside the couch and Mirai stood infront of it.
" Hey, its oh-kay. You did your best--especially considering that you barely train at all. " Bulma pointed out.
" I--I know but, but if I hadn't eaten those nachos in the spicy salsa--which I know makes the walls of my stomach
unhappy--then I wouldn't have thrown up and lost the match! " she exclaimed, flopping back onto the couch.
" -Attention! The finals will begin in less than 1 minute. The finals WILL begin in less than 1 minute. That is all-"
the intercom announced.
Mirai picked the still-dizzy Bura up, " Come on Bura, let's go back to our seats and you can watch the final match
from there. " he carried her out of the building and towards a set of stairs. Bulma followed them.

" Well Kakarrotto, just one more match to go and then its off to the preliminaries. " Vegeta rubbed his hands
together excitedly.
" You seem rather confident, Vegeta-san. " Turles said smoothly from several seats away.
" Silence! " the ouji snapped at him, then turned back to Goku, " It's going to be so thrilling, hai Kakarrotto? "
" I can't WAIT to battle with Veggie! " the larger saiyajin gushed.
" Unless the Ouji gets pitted against one of the demi-oujis first. " Chi-Chi commented.
Vegeta twitched.
" Both of them are stronger than you as well; I doubt you'd be able to beat either one. "
" Not if I KO them in the back of the head like I did with Kakarrotto here during our Majin battle. " he pointed
out.
The fusions nodded somewhat-agreeing.
" I felt sad when Veggie knocked me out and blew himself up. " Goku said, hurt.
Vegeta gave him a partial hug--seeing that they were seated side-by-side, " There there Kakay I promise I'll never
use myself as a saiyajin explosive-device ever again. "
" ▫GLOMP▫! " Goku glomped the little ouji.
" EEP! " Vegeta's face went red.
" Gah! " Chi-Chi put on a pair of sunglasses to shield her eyes from the glowing redness, " Goku-sa put the Ouji back
down, the match is starting. "
" But I like hugging Veggie.. "
" ..you can hug and touch the Ouji all you want after the match is over, just let go of him. "
" Oh-kay. " he sighed, disheartened, and plopped Vegeta back down onto his seat.
" Welcome to the children's finals, everybody! " the announcer stepped out onto the arena, which had since been
replaced by a similarly sized arena that looked as if somebody had taken large random chunks out of it. He got up onto the
chopped up platform with each foot on an individual piece of platform, " Our two finalists are both champions from the two
previous Budoukais! Son Goten and Trunks Briefs! "
The two chibis walked onto parts of the platform.
" Now remember boys, any spot between parts of the platform is considered out of bounds as well, in addition to
the usual ring boundries. " he reminded them, then hopped off, " LET THE FINALS BEGIN! "
Goten and Trunks struck defensive poses as the drums began to beat, then launched at each other screaming.
" HAAA! " Goten swung his fist forward and Trunks caught it only to have Goten kick his knee up and into Trunks's
chest. Trunks hacked, then grabbed Goten's knee and swung him off to the side and into the air where Goten caught himself
2 feet above the platform.
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
" HAAAAAAAA! "
" HAAAAAAAA! " the two burst into ssj and Goten flew down at Trunks, who formed a ki ball at him. Goten swerved his
body to the right and then back again, slamming into Trunks who spiraled backwards and shot several smaller ki blasts at
Goten; two hitting the younger chibi in the back. The two began to chase each other by bouncing from piece to piece of the
platform until they were both on pieces directly next to the edge.
Trunks placed his hands into a familiar position, Goten doing the same. They each sent out a huge blast of ki; the
two colliding with one another as each of the boys began to push forward while walking slowly towards one another.
" ERRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAH! " Trunks let lose an extra blast of ki and Goten skidded backwards off into the ground. He
gasped when he saw his ki leave his hands and rush towards the crowd. Trunks and Goten's eyes widened in shock and Goten lept
to his feet and quickly steered the huge ball of ki away from them, barely brushing the audiance as he sent it off into the
sky.
" ▫WHEW▫! " Goten sighed with relief. Then realized where was standing and sulked, " Ohhhh. "
" Umm..ah... " announcer guy walked up to them, still in shock, " I, I guess t--that makes Trunks Briefs our winner!
And Son Goten a hero from stopping that energy blast from killing all the people in section 2-C. "
" YAY! " Goten cheered, " I saved the day! "
" I won the tournament. " Trunks injected proudly.
" Yeah, but being a hero's better. " Goten stuck his tongue out.
The Announcer grinned, calming down, " And that's it for Sparking's Children's Division. We'll see all of you in an
hour for the main event: The Adult Division of the Sparking Martial Arts Competition! Enjoy your hour-long intermission by
trying out some of the fantastic snacks available at our food stands; and don't forget to pick up a complimentary Sparking
t-shirt! "

END OF PART TWO!
Chuquita: YES! The children's division is done and now its onto Veggie VS and Goku VS! (is all excited)
Vegeta: (smirks) I'm feeling rather confident after seeing Trunks win.
Goku: Why?
Vegeta: Well, if you'll look at this chart (whips chart out) Goten won the previous children's division, and you won the
adult's. If Trunks won this division its only logical that I, the great and powerful saiyajin no ouji, win this year's
adult's division.
Chuquita: But, that was a Tenkaichi Budoukai. This is completely different.
Vegeta: ...
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Ah...right. (to audiance) And now for the reviewer-replies!
To Albino Black Sheep: Glad you liked it! Brolli's got a bigger part in Chapter 3 now that the children's division is over.
To Omnimalevolent: Yup! He's finally been found! And he's no longer evil. Raditsu just doesn't trust Turles. Veggie meeting
Veggie 8 was fun! Hai, that did end the Brolli sideplot. I did end the "Oujo" sideplot a while ago as well. Veggie definately
needs some time to himself to think things over. Well I can use a larger variety of stuff in T/PG-13 than I can in PG; so
I'm sticking with PG-13 from now on :) Yes there are new rules and such for the Sparking tournament; the adult division more
so than the kid's one. Glad you liked the Veggie-sandwich.
To The Big Boss: Chi-Chi's definately having trouble lately. Brolli and Turles will have bigger parts in the next chapter.
To majinbulgeta: Glad you liked it!
To Afrodite: Hai, it does have a chance of coming true. The pressure's really staring to mount for Veggie. I do have two
Piccolo oneshots planned; which I'll get to eventually. He might get pitted against Turles. Veggie's definately stronger
physically than Turles. Veggie can go up to ssj3 (even though its only for a short while) and Turles can only reach ssj1.
To tea: Glad you like it! It's different from the Budoukai is that the preliminaries rules are different and each of the
arenas in the finals are random unique and sometimes dangerous areas.
To Alastair: Well they were in this chapter; you'll see more of them in the next; I just wanted to get the kid's division
finished first.
To Hakura: Yup! I missed the fighting stories; the adult battles are so much fun to write! Actually in Budoukai 3 I think
there is a Computer VS Computer feature under VS Mode, I'm not sure though cuz I haven't played it in a while.
To Stuffup: Aw, glad you like the stories! Turles and Chi-Chi? Wow, you're the first person to ever suggest them together.
I kinda doubt that though; Chi-Chi still loves Goku and I don't know who or if I'm going to pair Turles up at all. There are
two more Piccolo oneshots that I'll eventually get to. One about Piccolo's two-month rule of earth during Fic 100 and another
where he and his father attempt to overthrow it. Raditsu has a room to himself, so does Turles. :)
To Orchideater: So glad you liked it. Timeline 8 was fun. Goku 8 knows everything Goku 1's been kept from knowing; and he's
allowed to do whatever he wants. I like using the human fighters because they have to be more creative in battle unlike the
saiyajins who can easily blast each other out of the ring. He will, don't worry :) I can't reveal who'll win the tournament
yet though. Lol, Piccolo having Hercule help him.
To letgo: Glad you like the story and Turles! You'll find out soon.
To Seto Kaiba's My Babe: Glad you liked it!
To JustSomeGuy: Well the adult portion starts in the next chapter. He might. That's because Turles has been trying to
undermine Veggie's seme plans; and because no one before him has challanged Veggie's "role". Sparking and Budoukai Tenkaichi
are the same game. It's just easier and faster for me to write Sparking than its dub title.
To Nekoni: Aw, its oh-kay. :) The Veggies luv bab Goggie so much.
Goku: (happy nod)
Vegeta: ▫twitch▫.
To Nekoni: Glad you liked the similarities between Goku 1 and 8. Yup! That battle itself should be in the next chapter or
the final one; depends on how long the battles are. The Goku meets Brolli and goes SS happens in Part 3 though.
Vegeta: (holds baby-supplies) A thoughtful gift; b--but I doubt I'm going to use it seeing as I'm not going to be having a
baby anytime in the near future.
Goku: (sniffles sadly) ...
Vegeta: Ah..yeah.
To x The Chichi Slaughter House x: Hi! Glad you liked it! It's oh-kay, I understand you're busy. I'll continue it :)
Goku: Yay! Fluffy orange handcuffs! (pauses) ...what are these for?
Chuquita: To arrest Veggie?
Goku: (turns to Veggie, handcuffs behind his back) Veggie have you done anything bad lately?
Vegeta: Um..no? (sweatdrops)
Goku: OH. (looks around) Well then, when Veggie has done something bad will Veggie get back to me so I can use these on him?
Vegeta: (gulps) Ah, sure. (takes his cookie and enjoys it) I'll save the egg nog for later :) Thank you!
Chuquita: And that's the end of Part 2! See you sometime next week with Part 3 everybody!
Goku: Byebye!
