Chuey's Corner:
Goku: (purring with contentment) Aw Veggie!
Vegeta: GAH! I meant it in a logical, platonic way!
Goku: I know! (hugs the Veggie)
Chuquita: Welcome to Part 3!
Goku: Hooray!
Chuquita: (holds up dvd) I got a 2nd redub dvd.
Goku: No VA inter-views this time though.
Chuquita: Yah, I liked the interviews..well, the parts of the interview where the VA's spoke. They threw in chunks of other random people into it in order to make the interview part seem longer.
Vegeta: (looks at dvd) (sweatdrops) This is the one with the nude peasants isn't it?
Chuquita: Yup!
Vegeta: Huh... (acts disinterested)
Chuquita: I almost got the Bardock Special, (I haven't seen it in sub form before and was curious of Veggie's chibi voice) but I decided I'd get more entertainment value out of these 3 redub eps. Its the ones where Goku tricks Goz and Mez.
Goku: I am sneaky :)
Chuquita: Princess Snake, and the Four Piccolos VS each other.
Vegeta: What about me and my sudden luv for the use of the curse-word "damn/dammit"?
Chuquita: They're only about 12 episodes into releasing the dvds. Most of your Veggie-cursing shows up in the Freeza eps which is many dvds away.
Goku: (pouts) I did not get to curse even once.
Chuquita: (pats him on the back)
Goku: (sniffle)
Chuquita: I'm STILL looking for Majin Veggie and Goku-n-Veggie-inside-Buu eps. The Buu saga for some reason is the hardest one around here to find dvds for! I mean if you want the saiyajin, Freeza, or Cell eps; they're all here. But Buu only comes in those box sets which are still a little on the expensive side.
Goku: Heehee, Majin Veggie.
Vegeta: What? I was full of infuriated vengeful rage.
Goku: At me?
Vegeta: Ah--
Goku: (tilts head)
Vegeta: (feels guilty) Um, a, a little.
Goku: Ohhh.
Chuquita: For some reason in the manga they're calling it djinn instead of majin. I don't know why...
Vegeta: (flips through book) Of course we've also got "Bobbidi, Boo, Dabra, and Pocus" instead of "Babadi, Buu, Dabura, and Pui-Pui".
Goku: Heehee.
Chuquita: Suncoast, while still not getting in the kaka-plushies, did get in more of those Toei-made dragon balls w/little figurines in them. I picked one from the Buu bag and got lucky! I got a super-happy Goku giving Goten a hug.
Vegeta: There's a "hugging peasant" figure?
Chuquita: Yeah. Its cute. Next time I'll get something from the Cell box. (Wants the happy wing-ed Goku) I wonder if I can get lucky twice...?
Goku: We will find out soon!
Chuquita: And now for Part 3!

" I think we should just take both cribs out of the nursery ourselves and just move the middle row apart a little

further. If anything it'll give us some space. " the saiyajin doctor said to the the other two doctors and several nurses

behind him as he unlocked the door to the maternity ward.

" Yeah well you can take Kakarrotto's. I'm not touching the thing. " one of nurses replied, " I swear you can still

get that ringing in your head from his wailing if you get too close to it. "

" Hahaha, oh that's silly. " another nurse laughed at the idea.

" You're the one that hasn't thrown his earplugs out yet. " she replied.

The doctor flicked the main light on, causing the nightlights to tune down then off.

" Zzzz...zzzZzz...zzZZzzz... " a semi-loud snoring came from the middle row. One of the nurses walked over and

peered past several cribs to see an adult saiyajin sitting on the floor asleep with his arms crossed while leaning against

the side of one of the cribs.

" Who is that? And how did he get in here? " he tilted his head.

The second nurse looked over and gasped, recognizing the hair instantly, " Burori-kun! "

Brolli sleepily glanced up and smiled, " Morning Okaasan. "

" Oh! " she gasped.

/dl

" So how did you know how to find me without a scouter? " Cilantra asked as she and Brolli sat in the waiting room

while the other doctors and nurses were busy setting things up for the patients.

" Actually I went on a hunch. " he smirked, " The castle was easy to find, trying to locate the maternity ward

wasn't. I went through several floors before find it. "

" You could've just come to my room you know. It must've been so hard sleeping on the cold floor like that. " she

replied, concerned.

" I've slept on worse. " Brolli admitted, " And to be honest, I couldn't remember what room or floor it was we lived

on. But since I knew where you worked I just figured you'd be coming in today and I could meet up with you here. "

" That's very resourceful of you Burori-kun. " his mother smiled, " Will you be coming back to live with me? "

" For a little while..maybe a couple months until I find a safe place to put my house. "

Cilantra blinked, " A place to put your house? "

" Yeah, you see on Earth there's these things could hoi poi capsules, " he pulled out the "1" capsule out of his

pants pocket, " They somehow are able to contain things like houses and vehicles. You just press the button on the top and

toss the capsule onto the ground. A few seconds later the object pops out at full size. "

" That's amazing! " she gasped.

" Hai. I'm hoping to find a spot somewhere in one of the cities. Afterall I can't really stay here that long knowing

both Vejita-chan and Kakarrotto are here too. " he said wryly, " I don't want to worry or scare Vejita-chan. And I can't

afford a brawl with Kakarrotto now that I'm trying to start over. " the densetsu sighed.

" Don't worry about it. " Cilantra replied, " You know they came into the ward yesterday to get Kakarrotto's

name-plate. " she then added, " They've both gotten so big. I'm surprised though, I always thought in height it would be the

opposite; considering how Vejita's father is built. I think Vejita's even shorter than his mother. "

Brolli smiled, " Vejita-chan's so pleasantly petite. "

" I was thinking more along the lines of portable. " Cilantra blinked.

" I'm still bigger than Kakarrotto though. " he said smugly, then grinned, " Not to mention stronger by many times

over. "

" Well you are the densetsu. "

" Hm. " he smirked, " You know I can't help but think I might've had a better chance with Vejita had it been you I

escaped with instead of Toussan. " Brolli sighed sadly.

" You have many opportunities aside from Vejita now that everything's; for the most part; back to normal. "

" Indeed... "

" ▫Tap▫Tap▫ ▫Tap▫Tap▫Tap▫ Hey lady, are you awake? "

" I think she's dead. "

" No she's not, she's still breathing. "

" Eh? " Chi-Chi opened on eye only to suddenly bolt to attention with the surprise that she'd fallen asleep on a

bench. She quickly looked around to see the city had already started up again.

" Na pobe manana tu! "

Chi-Chi turned to see two chibis standing infront of the bench, one holding a small, former tree branch in his hand,

" Oh, hello. " she smiled sleepily.

" I told you she was alive. " the second one said victoriously.

" Neh! " the first one blew a raspberry at him.

" Muu vete la gnn temabo! " a woman called over to the two boys, who ran to her, the first one dropping his stick.

" Huh. " Chi-Chi stood up, " Geez what time is it? " she checked her watch and sweatdropped to see it read 7am. She

looked around at the city and gawked, " Wow..early risers. " Chi-Chi then looked off in the direction of the castle and

smiled with relief when she saw it was only about a half hour walk from where she was, " Heh, I should be there before

lunchtime. " she then confidently pumped her fists in the air, " ALRIGHT! Time to see what Goku-sa is doing with the Ouji! "

/dl

" Zzzz...zzzZZzzz... " Vegeta snored in a deep sleep while Goku--wide awake rubbed the sleeping ouji's back.

" Oi Kakarrotto. "

" Hm? " Goku looked over to see Turles slipping into the room, being careful to keep his scouter on and locking the

door behind him, " Oh, goodmorning Turles. "

" How's Vegeta-san doing? "

" Good. Veggie really needs his rest though. " Goku replied while keeping his attention on the little ouji. He pulled

Vegeta closer and started to rub his stomach and chest instead, " I have been having the strangest ideas lately. "

" Have you know? " he smirked.

" Yeah, like asking Veggie to runaway with me someplace where people can't take him from me so I have to spend

bathtime all alone, or have to sit there in the same room and be neglected cuz Veggie has to keep up a-ppearances. I have

even thought of the idea of telling Veggie all the special things I've ever wanted to tell him; but I know I can't do that

be-cause it would hurt Chi-chan and be unfair to her. "

" Well if it'll be better for the both of you to have a clean ending to the relationship, you can chat with her in a

good, oh, 20 minutes or so. " Turles pressed a button on his scouter.

" Hm? " Goku blinked.

" Her ki is suspiciously close to the castle. I'm guessing she followed us here and is on her way to check on you

and make sure Vegeta-san hasn't "corrupted" your mind; though I happen to think there's only a very small chance of THAT

happening. " he paused, " Perhaps I should greet her. What floor would you like me to bring her to for you to dump her in? "

" WAAH! " Goku nearly fell over, " Turles I am not going to dump Chi-chan for Veggie! I just want to have a special

talk with Chi-chan a-bout certain things that I'd like to do with Veggie but am not yet sure of her reaction. " Goku sat up

and pulled the sleeping Vegeta onto his lap.

" Like what? "

" Like full-body massages. "

" ...tchn! " Turles contained himself from a burst of entertained laughter now lodged in his throat, " D, did you

discuss this with Vegeta-san? "

" No, I came up with it all by myself! " Goku chirped happily.

" How very creative. "

" I thought of it when I was washing up all alone. " he wagged his tail, " I was going to save it as a surprise for

Veggie after he gives me his Veggie-tour! "

" Well, I'm off to get Chi-Chi. I'll leave her in one of the waiting rooms downstairs for you. " he headed out, " Are

you planning on meeting with her as soon as she gets there? "

" Umm.. " Goku trailed off, " Actually I wanted to go fishing with Veggie and then get cleaned up first. I do not

think I could have a serious talk without a fully stomach first. "

" A wise decision. If you need me after I drop her off I'll be hunting around for something to eat. " Turles waved

goodbye to him, " Goodluck with those sensual massages of yours, Kakarrotto. " he smirked.

" Thank you very much! " Goku cheerfully waved back, then cheekily picked up one of Vegeta's arms and waved that.

The ouji tilted off-balance and to the side where Goku caught him using his other arm, " I bet Veggie would LIKE being

rubbed all over! "

/dl

" ▫Knock▫knock▫knock▫knock▫ " Chi-Chi knocked on the front door to the castle, preparing herself to confront Vegeta

once he opened it.

" Hello? "

" AH-HAH! " she pointed accusingly at the figure who had just opened the door, " ...Turles? "

" Hi. "

" Hah...oh man am I partially-glad to see you. " Chi-Chi clasped her hands together, " Where's Goku-san? "

" Off enjoying breakfast with Vegeta-san. " he replied as they went inside.

Chi-Chi folded her arms, " Are they still sleeping together? "

" In their underwear. "

" Ehhh... " she twitched slightly, " I wish that Ouji hadn't gotten so comfortable in semi-intimate situations with

Goku-sa. "

" Oh he's not THAT comfortable. Sadly Vegeta-san's been on edge since we boarded the ship here. He's so worried about

how his and Kakarrotto's near-blooming relationship will be taken against the fact that Vegeta-san's title represents a

rather prideful, "semeish" backdrop. " Turles explained.

" They're relationship's not blooming, they just missed each other so much when the Ouji got kidnapped that they're

only making up for the time they lost. " Chi-Chi nervously brushed it off.

" Vegeta-san was held hostage for about two months. "

" So? "

" It's been SEVEN months since we rescued him. "

" ... " a semi-large doom cloud hovered over Chi-Chi's head, " Uhhhh, well, just because they're sleeping half-naked

together and sharing a bathtub-- "

" --at the same time. " Turles sneakily added in.

" --AT THE SAME TIME... " she gritted her teeth, then calmed down, " Doesn't mean they have sexual feelings for one

another. Besides, I turned over a new leaf a while ago. There's no reason for Goku-san to still be drawn to the Ouji if I'm

being kind to Goku-san and non-abusive to the Ouji. "

" Can't you be both TO both? " Turles cocked an eyebrow.

" I think that's asking a little much of me, don't you? " she said dryly, " Besides, even if I was "kind" to the

Ouji, with his paranoid, overactive Ouji-mind he'd suspect I was up to something; which I'm not. "

" So you decided to come here to avoid falling victim to the same thing. "

" Its kind of hard NOT to worry about Goku-san when he's knee-deep in Ouji-Central. I mean, look at this place! Its

just like that twisted possible-future-Ouji's ship! " she motioned to the decor.

" Vegeta-san does like things fancy. " Turles commented, amused.

Chi-Chi rolled her eyes, " Oh he's fancy alright. He's fancy like a festive homemade doily at the local

Over-elaborate Parade of Decorativeness. "

Turles opened a door to a waiting room, " Here you are. Kakarrotto said he'll meet you here after breakfast. " he

turned to leave.

" And where are YOU going? "

" To have my own breakfast. I'm a type-3 saiyajin peasant too remember? Its natural that I have such a large

appetite for food you know. " he rubbed his hands together at the idea of such delicious food and promptly left the room.

Chi-Chi sighed and sat down on one of the chairs in the empty room, glancing up dully at the ceiling fan.

/dl

" Ahhh! " Vegeta sighed with contentment as he lay with his back pressed against the warm sand while Goku tackled a

gigantic fish several feet away in the ocean. The larger saiyajin grabbed the fish by the tail and swung it over his head

and onto the sand, sending a backsplash at the little ouji, " Gah! Kakarrotto! " he sat up, pouting.

" Haha, sorry Veggie. " Goku wagged his tail while dragging the fish up to him, " You know you could come out and

catch some more fish WITH me for a pre-lunchtime snack? " he teased the idea with a grin on his face.

" I can't go in the ocean in my underwear, I'd ruin it. " Vegeta pointed to his briefs.

" I like them. "

" Huh? " the smaller saiyajin froze.

" I like how Veggie looks in briefs; boxers always looked like Veggie was drowning in them. "

" Heh, yeah well...I can't really pull off boxers under my saiyajin armor anyway so I have to wear the briefs. "

the ouji explained, " Secretly I always liked briefs better anyway. I just got into wearing boxers because I thought I looked

more semeish in them. "

" ... " Goku sat there for a moment.

" Everything oh-kay Kakay? " the ouji asked.

" You mean we're supposed to wear underwear under the armor? " Goku said with a blank expression on his face.

" WAAAH! " Vegeta lept to his feet, " You mean the whole day yesterday when I was parading you around infront of my

family you didn't have any underwear on? " he gawked, frightened.

Goku sweatdropped, " I have never worn underwear under it cuz I my boxers wouldn't fit under something form-fitting

and I always a-ssumed Veggie never wore anything back when he used the armor either. "

" Ugh. " Vegeta rubbed his temples in confused frustration, " I gotta get you something for that.. "

" I have that orange thong Chi-chan bought me stuffed in my suitcase back at our room. " Goku spoke up, " Would that

work? "

" ... " Vegeta's entire body went red.

" ... " ▫

" Veggie need a jar? " Goku pointed to him with one hand while holding an empty jar under his other arm.

Vegeta glanced downward, then back up at Goku, " THAT'S-NOT-WHAT-YOU-THINK-IT-IS-ITS-AN-ALLERGIC-REACTION! " he

yelped in a panic, quick to cover himself with his hands, " It--its a very common allergy. "

" To what? "

" ... " the ouji's expression went blank, " Uh...something purely platonic I'm sure. "

" Oh. "

Vegeta looked away to avoid any further eye-contact, " I, don't suppose you have anything I can cover with until

my allergy subsides. "

" I did bring a towel with me..Veggie could use that. " Goku said brightly.

/dl

" ▫MUNCH▫MUNCH▫MUNCH▫MUNCH▫ "

" ▫CHOMP▫GOBBLE▫GOBBLE▫SWALLOW▫CHOMP▫CHOMP▫! " the two saiyajin viciously ate the cooked fish as they sat on the

beach, Vegeta--long recovered from his allergy, still wearing the large orange towel around his waist while he and Goku

finished off the fist, " So very yummy, Veggie. "

" I have to agree with you Kakarrotto. The fish on our homeplanet are quite the delicacy. "

Goku looked over at him.

" Delicacy, it means..its a very polished and refined in taste sort of food. " he explained.

" Like Veggie! " his peasant chirped.

" Umm...y--yeah. 'Like Veggie'. " the ouji's cheeks flushed, " Anyway we really should be getting back. We've been

out here nearly two hours and I'm really starting to feel dirty. "

" That's cuz Veggie did not take his bath last night. " Goku said in a sing-song voice.

" You know you've been rather bold since we got here. " Vegeta smirked over at him.

" Veggie did not know I had it in me. "

" I'm sure there's lots about you I don't know. "

" I could say the same thing of my Veggie. "

" ▫Thump▫ " Vegeta leaned to the side, pressing against Goku's arm, " Kakarrotto I don't think you would even want

to know all of it nor would it even satisfy you to hear. "

" It does not matter that much, cuz me 'n Veggie have lots of time to spend just like this, right? " Goku wagged

his tail as he smiled warmly down at the ouji.

Vegeta frowned, saddened. He turned his view back to the sea, " I wish it could stay like this forever. We'd just

stay here on this beach sparring and catching fish together. "

Goku tilted his head in curiosity, " I want that too. "

The ouji looked up.

" I want to stay here and have fun with Veggie all day without having to worry a-bout anyone telling me I can't. I

want to adventure with Veggie and explore the whole planet and all the wonderful things here. "

" Kakarrotto I can't do that. I'm the Saiyajin no Ouji. " Vegeta replied, pressing closer against him.

" But I thought that is exactly the reason why Veggie COULD do all that and more with me. " Goku said, perplexed.

The ouji sighed, " My Ou training starts tomorrow. "

Vegeta pulled away and scooted infront of Goku instead, " Listen, you know how Gohan's a...um, what's his

profession? "

" He's a pro-fessor. "

" Well to become that he had to take classes and learn all sorts of things, right? Well that's what I have to do;

only its a lot harder because I'm going to be the ruler of the entire planet. " he explained.

A thought-bubble of a classroom full of Veggies with another Veggie pointing at things on a blackboard appeared

above Goku's head, " Veggie-class... " he trailed off.

Vegeta sweatdropped, " Kakarrotto I'm an only child I'd be learning all this by myself. "

" OH! " the thought-bubble disappeared. Goku paused and frowned, " How lonely. "

" What's worse is I don't know exactly what "Ou training" is supposed to be or how long it'll take..and if I get

crowned instantly after I "graduate" or if I simply wait for Toussan to get tired of being ou, retire, and crown me. " he

scratched the side of his head.

" Veggie'll be a wonderful ruler. " Goku smiled, " No need to worry. "

" Yeah...its just..all this time I've been flaunting my title and now that I actually have to take it up along with

its purposes I'm not so sure I'm ready to give up everything for it. "

" Veggie wouldn't give up me would he? " the larger saiyajin said, concerned.

" I would give up everything for you. "

" ... " ▫

Goku hugged the little ouji tightly, " I luv u Veggie. " he sniffled, touched as he buried his face in the ouji's

hair, " You're the very best you know. My most favorite person ever. "

" W---we should be going now. " Vegeta gently squeezed away, now completely avoiding eye-contact, " People sleep like

you around here; they're all up at the crack of dawn. And I know my family'll wonder why I've been up this long while still

dirty and smelling of fish and your beach-towels. "

" Heeheehee. "

" You wouldn't be giggling like that if people started spreading rumors about us. " he got up while Goku put out the

fire, " Such things start as small as a few people whispering about something they MIGHT have seen and then pretty soon

you've got the entire planet gossiping about our nonexistant sex lives as if we were having some torrid affair. "

" ... " ▫

" Which, we're obviously NOT having because neither of us is nonplatonically interested in the other. "

" ... " ▫

" Well then! Let's go back home and get cleaned up, hai? " Vegeta started off.

" Veggie how do you feel a-bout full body massages? " Goku asked innocently.

The ouji froze, " W--what? "

" Its this thing where you lie on a heated cushion while your whole body gets luvingly rubbed down by someone you

know and trust completely cuz they're so very special to you. "

" Is, this something you've heard about somewhere? " the smaller saiyajin asked stiffly.

" No I thought it up all on my own while I was daydreaming in the tub yesterday eve-ning. " Goku replied.

" Oh. "

" I was thinking a-bout what kinds of things I could do to relax Veggie when he was stressed. " the larger saiyajin

noted his inspiration.

" That's, umm..creative, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta shifted around, uneasy, " Well! Let's go! " he hovered upward, waiting

for Goku so he could teleport them back to the castle.

" But Veggie what do you think a-bout my idea? " Goku flew upward and over to him as well.

" It's very...creatively intimate. Creativintimate. " the ouji sputtered.

Goku smiled and wagged his tail in reply, then held the ouji against him with one arm while preparing to teleport

them back home with the other. A few seconds later the two disappeared from sight, leaving behind only the bones of their

breakfast and a small sandcastle.

/dl

" Nn.. " Chi-Chi shifted around in her seat, checking her watch, " Geez, its almost been two hours. Where IS he? "

" Chi-chan? "

" ACK! " Chi-Chi fell over, then lept to her feet to see Goku standing there infront of her, " A little warning next

time Goku-sa. " she waved to him, then paused, " Nice..cape. "

" You like it? " Goku waved the cape out behind him as he stood there in his saiyajin armor, " Veggie's going to

take me to some of the more exotic parts of the planet today so I got dressed up for it. "

" How's things been going with you and the ouji by the way? "

" Good. " Goku nodded.

Chi-Chi's ears perked at the tone he used, " You didn't seem very excited just now. Did the Ouji hurt you? "

" N--no! Veggie would NEVER hurt me Chi-chan, never ever would he do something like that! " Goku gasped at the mere

thought, " Its just that Veggie's been busy ever since we got on the ship to come here and he is not used to being so busy

and I am not used to spending so much time alone without my Veggie or with Veggie putting up a barrier and pretending he is

so super-proud of him-self. "

" And just where is the Ouji now may I ask? "

Goku opened the door to the room to reveal Vegeta standing there in the doorway.

" Onna. " he nodded to her.

" If you're going to sit there and spy on us you might as well just come in. " she sighed.

" No, no. Kakay wanted to speak to you privately and as his close yet platonic friend I feel its my duty to abide by

his wishes. " Vegeta put his hands up while smirking.

" ... " Chi-Chi's face went blank. She looked over at Goku in horror, " Oh my God, you're DUMPING me! "

" NO! " Goku gasped.

" Heh-heh-heh-heh BWAHAHAHAHA! " Vegeta laughed, entertained, " Man Onna I don't know how you manage to move around

in 10x gravity but I'm glad you're here. "

" Ooh! QUIET YOU! " she snapped.

The little ouji grinned cheesily.

" Veggiesosilly. " Goku smiled over at him.

" I'll be right down the hall when you're finished, Kakarrotto. " he backed out of the room and closed the door

behind him, proudly strutting down the hall while whistling to himself.

" Its like its impossible for me to threaten him anymore. I'm just a reminder of his life pre-Turles! " Chi-Chi

exclaimed, lightly smacking herself on the forehead, " Now, " she said to Goku with uncertainty, " What is it you wanted to

tell me? "

" Well.. " he trailed off, " Its about Veggie. And my relationship WITH Veggie. "

" Should I be sitting down for this? " Chi-Chi paled.

" I dunno. " the large saiyajin plopped on the floor infront of her, his tail twitching nervously behind him, " You

see..there's things I've been thinking a-bout more 'n more frequently lately...Veggie-related things and..I'm not completely

sure what to do about them OR my urges. "

Chi-Chi shifted around, " Well, I'm sure its just excitement due to visiting a new place and learning and eating new

things. " she thought outloud.

Goku lowered his voice to a whisper, " Sometimes when I wake up before Veggie I roll over and lay ontop of him and

hold on to Veggie super-close to make the feeling go away. "

" ... " Chi-Chi covered her mouth with concern and bit her tongue as she stared at the expression on Goku's face.

" Its just that..I am afraid that if I try to get any closer to Veggie it would make everything all messy and you'd

get upset and I don't want to make you sad Chi-chan but I need to know what I can and cannot do. " he pleaded.

She moved her hand away, " Does the Ouji know about... " Chi-Chi tried to think of a way to phrase it, " "This"? "

" Oh no! No Veggie knows nothing a-bout it. Veggiesostressed with all his ouji re-sponsibilities and he is going to

have to actually study and learn things for when he becomes ou starting tomorrow that I can't tell him right now. I would

have to wait for a special time. A time where everything would be in just the right place and Veggie would be relaxed and

ready. "

Chi-Chi sat back in her chair and sighed, " You know I still love you, right? "

Goku nodded.

" I can...I could relax some of the rules for you if you're feeling a little pressured. " she offered.

" Chi-chan I stopped following the rules a long time a-go. "

" ...what. " she said, her voice dead-pan.

" It was..back when we rescued Veggie from the Big Meanie...I did not a-gree with rules and they conflicted with how

I felt so I just dropped them. " Goku shrugged, " But, but I haven't done anything too extreme Chi-chan I haven't really! "

he nervously added.

Chi-Chi rubbed her temples in shock and frustration, " OHHHhh my... "

" There's other people I gotta talk to a-bout Veggie also. Did you know Veggie's Toussan had a special peasant friend

just like I am Veggie's special peasant friend but Veggie's Toussan ran away forever and made his friend sad and lonely. I

am afraid if I try to get closer to Veggie he'll do the same thing and it would hurt so very bad! "

" You're pullin' me with that? " she cocked an eyebrow, disbelieving.

" Nuh-uh! Veggie's Toussan's special peasant friend is Turles's Toussan. "

" WHAT! "

" It is true! " Goku nodded.

Chi-Chi folded her arms, " Well that explains a few things.. "

" But, I guess it was good in a way that they broke up cuz if they hadn't then Veggie would not have been born and

neither would Turles who has been very helpful to me 'n Veggie since we got here. "

" Yeah Turles is the one who got the door for me. Is he living here? "

" Just temporarily, to help me get my maximum Veggie-time in. " Goku replied.

" Huh...I don't suppose I could stay here too? "

" Everybody else is, I do not see why not. " the large saiyajin shrugged, then paused, " Why are you here Chi-chan?

On Veggie's planet I mean. "

" I came to check up on you. Ya know it'd drive me absolutely nuts to think of you here alone with the Ouji while I

was stuck on Earth. " she waved her finger, then sighed and put her hands on her hips, " Its not like I'll even be able to

stay here that long. I don't know the long-term affects of what living under 10x gravity could do to a human being. Staying

here could be taking years off my life and I wouldn't even know it! " Chi-Chi threw her arms in the air.

Vegeta stuck his head in the room, " Onna! Feel free to stay as long as you like! " he chirped.

" ▫THUNK▫! " Chi-Chi threw a couch-pillow at him. Vegeta ducked back out, closing the door behind him.

" Ham. " she remarked, annoyed.

" How can you even walk a-round under 10x gravity? "

" ... " Chi-Chi went quiet. She glanced away, " I've..been secretly training in the Ouji's gravity room so I could

follow you up here. "

" Chi-chan pre-meditated sneaking off after me? " Goku gasped.

" Well...yeah. "

The large saiyajin sweatdropped.

" Can you blame me? If I'd stayed I'd constantly be having nightmares of the Ouji doing..things to you. Terrible

things! Against your will! " she wiggled her fingers eerily.

" Chi-chan Veggie couldn't do that if he tried. " Goku said blankly, then grinned and burst into ssj3, " I am MUCH

stronger than my Veggie! "

" Thank God. " she sighed.

" So...it won't make you mad if I did something like give Veggie a special rub-down or asked Veggie to sleep with me

in the nude? "

" I honestly don't think the Ouji's brave enough to agree to either of those things so sure. " Chi-Chi shrugged.

" What a-bout using Veggie as a plate for yummy snacks and dessert-toppings? "

" Again, I don't think he'd agree to that and it depends on what part you're eating off of. "

" Oh-kay! " Goku pumped his fist in the air.

" Feeling better? "

" MUCH better, Chi-chan! " he grinned, then gave her a quick hug. Chi-Chi patted him on the back.

" And if, for some strange and hopefully-never-going-to-occur reason you DO break the 2nd rule; take him down. "

" I am not completely sure how it would work Chi-chan one way or the other, but oh-kay! "

She patted him on the shoulders, " That's my Goku-san. If it comes down to that--and I sincerely hope against all

hope that such a terrible level-up of your relationship would ever happen--you teach that Ouji who's in charge! "

" Who is in charge? "

" YOU! "

" ME! " he chirped happily, wagging his tail. He excitedly lept out of the room and walked around the corner to

where Vegeta was performing a random set of pull-ups.

" 1855, 1856, 1857, " Vegeta counted to himself.

" Veggie do u like hot fudge? " Goku asked, bending down.

The ouji stopped in the middle of a pull-up, " Of course I do Kakarrotto. " he then smirked, " You hungry for some

cool, soft ice-cream? "

" ... " Goku sat there with his pupils widened as if thinking his reply but not speaking it to Vegeta.

" Uh...Kakarrotto? " Vegeta snapped his fingers, jarring Goku out of the daydream that was causing the larger

saiyajin to begin to purr quite loudly.

" Does Veggie like whipped cream too? "

Vegeta sweatdropped. He got up and walked back over to the waiting room which Chi-Chi had just left, " Onna what

were you talking to him about in there Kakarrotto's slipping off into dazes on me! "

Goku stood off to the side purring louder now, his tail thrashing with its fur on end behind him.

" He's just a little constipated, that's all. " she replied mysteriously, then mentally sweatdropped at herself,

:He SHOULD be. Its only been over a decade since he's had any! Not that its my fault. I'm not the one who got so insanely

strong they can't perform certain actions without accidently breaking their partner's ribs: she absentmindedly rubbed the

lower right side of her long-since-healed ribs.

" I care about you Veggie. " the large saiyajin said almost in a trance.

" Uhhh.. " the ouji blinked, then turned to Chi-Chi boastfully, " HAHH! "

Chi-Chi rolled her eyes, :It'd never happen. The ouji's so paranoid he'd never make it. He's too in denial to let

Goku-san release his passion upon him. Naturally Goku-sa will be upset and heartbroken about it and because of that he'll

come running back to me for good. Upon whence I shall train in even heavier gravity so the chances of me being fatally

injured the next time Goku-sa and I were to do it there'd be a larger chance of my survival.: " Yeah, that's the ticket. "

she smirked cunningly.

" What ticket? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow.

" Oh nothing. " Chi-Chi brushed him off and clasped her hands together, " I'm so thankful for your ukephobia, Ouji.

Its going to save my marriage! " she strode off in search of a place to stay.

" ... " the ouji stood there, blinking, " What was she talking about? "

" ▫Shake▫shake▫shake▫shake▫ " Goku stood beside him shaking a fresh can of whipped-cream.

" Come on Kakarrotto, let's go find you something to squirt that onto. " the ouji beckoned him forth.

" ▫Prrrrrrrr▫ "

" Purr indeed. " Vegeta walked up to a nearby freezer and took out a box of ice-cream, " I bet you weren't expecting

to see THIS on Bejito-sei! " he whipped around to face Goku only to see the larger saiyajin standing there in ssj2 while

still holding the whipped-cream.

" ▫rrrrrrrrrrr▫--Ice cream? " Goku snapped out of it.

" You see Kakarrotto we do indeed import foods from various other planets; even from Earth. " he opened the box only

to reveal freezer-burn ontop of the snack and frowned, " Ohhh. I guess even though everything was restored since it happened

almost a year ago the ice-cream's gone bad. Or someone just turned down the thermostat too low. " Vegeta pondered. He closed

the container and threw it away, " Don't worry Kakarrotto, I'll just make a cake for you to put that on instead. "

" I want to make you happy, Veggie. "

" As do I for you. " the ouji nodded knowingly, " Wanna help me bake it? "

/dl

" WOW! What a big city. " Vejitto said in awe as he and Gogeta wandered through the large crowds.

" I smell FISH, Jitto! " the dance fusion chirped.

" Fish! " Vejitto gasped, " I hope Toussan and Mommy are doing alright. "

" Did we tell them we were leaving to tour the city? " Gogeta scratched his head.

" Do not despair Goggie. I left them a note, they should be fine. " the portara fusion replied, then pulled a small

bag out of his pocket, " Besides Obaasan knows we're gone. She even gave us money for snacks! " he pulled out one of the

coins in the bag.

" Blue coins? Very cool Jitto! " Gogeta clasped his hands together. He paused and looked around the street at the

various resturants.

Vejitto sniffed the air, " So many new smells..and it all smells so GOOD. What do you want to try first Goggie? "

" Well, since Toussan'll probably be making us a delicious lunch back at his home..how about a post-breakfast

pre-lunch snack! "

" Like a sandwich! "

" Or fish soup! "

" ALRIGHT THEN! " Vejitto heroically pointed towards the middle of the food court, " LET'S GO! "

/dl

" ▫Tap▫tap▫tap▫tap▫tap▫tap▫tap▫ " Brolli casually strode down the hallway, " You know it really is a beautiful

castle Vejita lives in. "

:Its still dangerous to be here though, with Kakarrotto around..: his tail trailed off.

" I'm AWARE of Kakarrotto. " the densetsu sourly remarked, " I find it unfair that he gets to stay here. " Brolli

huffed as he ironically passed the bakery where inside Vegeta was instructing Goku on how to properly ice a 5-layer fudge

cake, " Its not like he did anything worthy of staying here! Vejita-chan just "likes" him. "

" Kakarrotto has done plenty to achieve his worth in this home. "

Brolli looked over his shoulder to see Bejito standing there glaring suspiciously at him, " Ah, Vejita's father. "

" You on the other hand have caused nothing but pain and horror to my son. We made a deal in your return to this

planet that you would be allowed a fresh start as long as you caused no harm to Vegeta or Kakarrotto. "

" I'm not planning to. I'm simply staying with my mother until I can figure out just where I should place my

Capsule House. " the densetsu explained.

" Fine. You have 3 days. " Bejito said simply.

Brolli balked at him, " THREE DAYS! THAT'S NOT LONG ENOUGH TO-- "

" --if you're not out by then I'm going to have to inform my son and his friend-- "

" LOVER'S more like it. " Brolli snorted jealously.

" --FRIEND! HE'S VEGETA'S FRIEND! " Bejito stomped a foot, " If you're not gone by then I'll tell the both of them

that you're here and I'll leak to terrible things you've done. "

The densetsu stared at him for a while, " ...fine. " he shrugged, " I was going to leave anyway. I need to get away

from Vejita if I'm ever to properly finalize moving on. Perhaps once I'm settled in and mating season rolls around I'll be

able to find someone who DOES understand me; and enjoys being treated like royalty. " Brolli smirked.

" Good. Leave. " the ou motioned him away.

Brolli shrugged and continued down the hall instead.

" Hn... " Bejito huffed. He glanced down at his medallion and took it off from around his neck, " ... " the ou

turned to the nearest garbage can and held it overtop, " Everyone needs to move on eventually. " he said to it.

" ... " ▫

" DAMMIT! " he snapped, upset at himself, pulling the medallion back and holding it against him.

" Toussan? " Vegeta stuck his head out the door along with Goku. Both were splattered with bits of chocolate icing.

" Toussan's fine, Vegeta. " Bejito said tiredly, " Just go back to-- " he turned over to see them, " ... "

" We're baking a cake together! " Goku chirped.

" Oh. Yes. Go back to baking your cake. " the ou waved to them, putting his medallion back on and heading down the

hall, " Vegeta? "

" H--hai? " the ouji blinked, standing at attention.

" I expect your decision on your training this evening before dinner. " Bejito said to him, then headed back down the

hall, slumping slightly.

" He misses his friend, Veggie. " Goku sniffled, " That is so sad. "

" His friend spawned TURLES, Kakarrotto! How could you miss someone who did THAT! "

" I bet they used to bake chocolate cakes together and wake up early to fish in their underwear. But now they're

all alone; and we don't even know why. " the larger saiyajin said, melancholy. He looked down at the ouji, " Let's not end up

like that Veggie, oh-kay? "

" Kakarrotto I'd never leave you like that. " the ouji said, hurt.

" Maybe I should go talk to him. I do not want to lose my Veggie by making a terrible mistake. " Goku gulped.

" Well...I guess you can go have a chat; just don't get too personal alright. And don't tell him about our sleeping

arrangements or my briefs. "

" The pink ones you had on this morning? "

" They're PEACH, Kakarrotto. PEACH. " Vegeta's cheeks flushed red.

" Peach. Gotcha Veggie! " Goku saluted him and dashed off.

Vegeta sighed only to be tapped on the shoulder, " AHH! " he jumped and whipped around to see the fusions standing

there holding handfuls of candy.

" Toussan try some of this its so yummy! " Gogeta held out a candy-bar-shaped snack.

" Uhh. " Vegeta took a piece, " It looks sorta familiar. "

" Goggie and I went to the city to purchase some delicious snacks! " Vejitto informed him.

The ouji bit into the candy and purred, " Mmm, this is good. I'd mix it into my cake had I not already been in the

final stages of baking it. " he then paused, " But, we CAN place a few on top for decorative purposes. "

" HOORAY! "

/dl

" ▫Sigh▫. I can tell you're following me, Kakarrotto. I don't need a scouter to do that. You can smell the fudge a

mile away. " Bejito sighed, having been stalked for the past 5 minutes, " What do you want? " he turned to face him.

" Wow. You ARE just a big Veggie. " Goku murmured, face-to-face with him and intrigued at the vast difference in

height and body structure.

The ou sweatdropped, " I really have to get dinner ready if that's all you wanted to tell me. "

" No no no! Its something really important, Veggie's Toussan! " Goku pleaded. He clasped his hands together, " I want

to know why you left your special friend so I can be an even better one to Veggie so he never leaves me. "

" T--that's kind of private information. " Bejito folded his arms.

" PLEASE! I do not know what I'd ever do if Veggie left me. And if you are anything like Veggie I do not know how

your friend survived you leaving him! "

" His name is Retasu. " Bejito said defensively.

" Oh-kay... " Goku scratched the back of his head, " Why did you run away from Retasu? "

" ... " Bejito took a deep breath, " Because... "

Goku tilted his head.

" ..because he wanted to have relations with me and my title and status disallow me from being uke, so I fled to

avoid such disgrace. " the ou nodded.

Goku paled, " Y--you left him forever all be-cause he wanted to love you? "

" Yes. "

" Ohhhh. " Goku backed up, shocked, " OHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhh... " he started to shudder.

" H--hey its alright we both moved on everything's' good now. " Bejito laughed nervously, trying to calm him down,

" I have my family. He has his family. We both lived seperate happily ever afters. "

" I don't want to be seperated from my Veggie. " the peasant started to panic, " I, I'm going back to see Veggie now.

Thank you for answering my questions Veggie's Toussan. " Goku nervously added and bolted off back down the hall.

Bejito blinked at the spot Goku'd been standing at, confused, " Huh? "

/dl

" Ahh, this is great, isn't it? " Nail sighed as he lay on one of the lawn chairs on the lookout while wearing

sunglasses and sipping vitamin-enhanced water out of a cup through a silly-straw.

" This is why I like having the lookout on the southern hemisphere. Just as its getting cool up where the Briefs and

Sons live, it gets warmer down here. " Dende, in a similar lawn-chair and sunglasses, replied.

" Piccolo's getting better at splitting Kami and I off. He can keep it up for about 2 hours now. " Nail grinned, "

Two hours of which I intend to fully enjoy. "

Dende sat up, " Where is Kami? "

" Stalking his "brother" somewhere. He's under the impression Piccolo Sr's trying to take over the earth now that

all the saiyajins went back to their homeplanet. "

" Ahh. " the guardian replied.

" ... " ▫

" He's NOT, right? "

" Not to my knowledge. "

" Hn... " Dende sat up and looked around, " I haven't seen Mr. Popo in a while either. "

/dl

" MR. POPO WILL NOT LET PICCOLO SR. GET AWAY WITH THIS! " the genie shouted as he pounded his fists against the

glass jar he had been shrunken down to size and imprisoned by.

Sr looked over at the jar on his desk, " So sorry about this, Popo. Its just that you're way too smart for your own

good. Don't despair though, I'll let you out once my plan is complete. " he thumbed through yet another one of Kami's books.

" Kami will notice Mr. Popo's disappearance soon enough. Piccolo Daimao won't be able to explain such a feet as Mr.

Popo's disappearance! "

" Oh really? " he chuckled, sitting back in his chair, " I'm fairly certain I could come up with a reasonable

explanation for why you've suddenly decided to take leave. Perhaps you're off to visit a sick family member, or you're going

in search of a special fertilizing agent for your beloved garden. " Sr rattled a few reasons off the top of his head.

" ... " the genie was quiet for a moment, " Piccolo Daimao's son will know. You may be able to fool Dende because he

doesn't know Piccolo Daimao like Mr. Popo knows him, but not Piccolo Jr. "

" And just why would he plan to do anything against me for it? My son desires the conquest of Earth just as I do. "

" That is true, but Piccolo Jr does not desire it if the plan is to take the planet by force. "

Sr shrugged, " Calm down, Popo. There won't be any murder involved in this plan, that is of course unless Kami

attempts to intervene on me. "

The genie froze.

" Just kidding. I won't kill Kami. Afterall he's fused to my son and that makes him a secondary source of his power.

I'm not going to deprive Piccolo of his power. " Sr turned another page in his book, " Now, let's see here... "

/dl

" Maybe we should go check on him. " Nail replied.

" Mr. Popo? "

" Yeah. Its..odd that he's not out here. " the older namekian scratched the back of his head, " I hope he hasn't

come down with anything. I don't know what you give to an ill genie. "

" Kami would know. " Dende nodded, " I'm sure if not him, than Piccolo himself. "

/dl

" ▫Knock▫knock▫knock▫ "

" Hm? " Vegeta looked over his shoulder while the fusions were adding their candies to the cake. The ouji walked up

to the door and opened it to reveal Goku standing there, shell-shocked, " KAKARROTTO? " he gasped with worry, pulling the

larger saiyajin inside and closing the door behind them, " What happened to you? "

" I have just listened to the a story with one of the saddest endings I have ever heard. " he murmured, plopping down

onto a nearby chair.

The ouji sat down next to him, " Well, hey, its gonna be alright because I'm sure whatever you heard it was just a

story. " Vegeta patted Goku on the back.

" Veggie your Toussan left his special friend because he was afraid of being loved. " Goku said clearly, turning to

look at Vegeta.

" ... " ▫

" Why would he do that Veggie? Why would anyone do that? " the larger saiyajin looked visibly shaken.

The little ouji reached over and held on tightly, leaning his chin on Goku's shoulder, " I, don't know Kakarrotto. "

" Toussan? " Vejitto walked up to him.

" Oh Ji-chan he just said it to me like it barely bothered him at all! But I know it hurt Veggie's Toussan cuz of

that necklace he wears. "

" Its a medallion. " Vegeta sweatdropped.

" He tried to throw it away when me 'n Veggie peeked out through the door! I bet its his friend's necklace. " he

pulled away just far enough so he could see the ouji's face.

" Aw come on Kakarrotto, now you're just going on unexplained evidance. I mean, sure I've never seen anything else

ingraved with that sun-like insignia before, and the large gem in the middle is... "

Goku tilted his head, no longer sad but now confused.

" OH MY...THE GEM IS PINK! " the little ouji yelped, leaping to his feet.

" Yeah, so? " Goku blinked.

Vegeta clutched the sides of his own head, " Oh my God that gem on his medallion is PINK! It, it DOES have to be a

gift given to him by someone he cared about enough to wear it even though it contains that dreaded color of nightmares! "

" What is Veggie talking a-bout? " Goku sweatdropped.

" Mommy's just venting. Let him go. " Vejitto chirped.

" S--should I say something about this? What WOULD I say? M--muh--maybe I shouldn't mention anything about it at all.

Yes. That would be the best course of action. Its none of my business and besides Turles's parents have both gone home

already and plan on staying there. Hai. Good. " Vegeta nervously plotted outloud to himself.

" Vegeta? "

" Huh? " the ouji blinked. He looked over at the door and slightly opened it, " Okaasan? "

" vegeta your Toussan and I need to know which version of your training you'd like to start with tomorrow. " she

told him, then sniffed the air, " Do I smell cake? "

The ouji proudly folded his arms, " Only one of THE MOST delicious cakes ever created. "

Ruby peered in at the cake, " I have to say you're very good with details on your dishes. "

" Hehhh- " the smaller saiyajin grinned.

" So. " she said, a little more cheerful, " Which'll it be? "

" Well I do prefer a good challange...and I'm not a chibi anymore so going at the normal rate would be sort of

ridiculous...I'll try the crash course one! Besides it should take a much shorter time to go through! " Vegeta reasoned.

The ouho sweatdropped, " Alright. " she sighed, " You're so much like your Toussan you know that? "

Vegeta smirked.

" OH! Veggiesmommy! " Goku exclaimed suddenly. The others all turned to look at him, " Could you give VeggiesToussan

a hug when you see him. He seemed so sad in the hallway earlier. "

Ruby stared, blinking at the change in vocabulary and grammar from when Goku spoke in saiyago earlier, " Um, sure. "

she paused, " Bejito's still moping huh... " she frowned, concerned, " Tell ya what, I'll have a talk with him later and

try to help him feel better. Its like cracking open an old wound him seeing Retasu again after so long. "

Goku nodded viciously in agreement, then looked over at Vegeta and tightly took hold of his hand.

The ouji's eyes widened to that of a deer in headlights as he ever-so-slowly turned his head to the doorway only to

see his mother no longer there but her ki was now halfway down the hall. Vegeta let out an overexasperated sigh of relief

" I guess, this means you're gonna be training to be the Ou now, Toussan? " Gogeta asked.

The ouji scratched the back of his head, " Yeah..I guess. Whatever kind of training that is. "

" And I will help Veggie to the best of my abilities! " Goku said, lightly pounding his fist against his chest.

" Kakarrotto. " Vegeta nodded, thankful, " You know Kakarrotto...I said I was going to take you to the gardens today,

didn't I? " he started to swing their hands lightly back and forth, " How'd you like to go after the four of us enjoy this

delicious cake? "

The larger saiyajin purred strongly at him, semi-jolting Vegeta with unease, " I would luv to go see the trees 'n

flowers with my Veggie! " he wagged his tail.

" And, after that I was thinking I could take you to the hot springs..and then after that we could visit one of the

fancy resturants in the area, then come back here and get cleaned up for bed. " the smaller saiyajin contently yet casually

rattled off his plan.

" It all sounds so wonderful Veggie. " Goku chirped.

" Well I have to admit I do like to pamper my peasant. " the ouji boasted, then pulled out a fork and sat near the

cake, " Now, let's dig in shall we? "

12:51 PM 10/22/2005
END OF PART THREE!

Goku: (wags tail) Aw, Veggie's so happy.

Chuquita: Things get busier in Part 4.

vegeta: Just HOW busy? (raises an eyebrow)

Chuquita: Oh, you'll find out soon Veggie. (to audiance) And now for the replies!

To Kitty Kyinsky: Glad you liked the double-meaning quote.

To Hyper Kid: Don't worry, the fusions were in this chapter. I might do something with them soon. I haven't yet.

I don't read or watch x-men so I wouldn't know.

To majinbulgeta: So glad you liked him in this chapter! Veggie's trying to continue giving his peasant the attention he

normally receives, but things will get much more difficult once Veggie's training starts. He is very affectionate of his

Veggie.

To Omnimalevolent: So glad you liked it! Its definately going to be harder on Bejito-sei because of how important Veggie is

on his homeplanet, unlike on Earth where he's just another inhabitant. Turles is going to help Goku and Veggie in the

future by buying them alone time 'n such. Vejitto and Gogeta both appeared for a little while in this chapter, I need to

decide what I'm going to do with them. It was odd to have them have a conversation. She's not having any trouble so far.

To Hakura0: Glad you like it. Veggie's going to try to cram.

To tea: So glad you liked it! Mating season actually will show up this spring in the fics. At least she's no longer on Earth

so he can look for a house. She's surprised that other people see something between Goku and Veggie because she assumes no

one else notices.

To Saiba: Glad you liked it!

To The Big Boss: And he found her in this chapter too. Hai, Bejito and Veggie are similar, but there's a few differences.

Sparking is fun so far. I've enjoyed it.

To Zogeta: Hai, Goku's so very sad. I was so super-busy the other weekend at work as well, that's why this chapter's late.

(was at work fri, sat, and sun last weekend) Turles is hanging around for the time being. It would feel odd if I didn't

stick to Toriyama's "saiyajins are named after vegetables" theme. Yes, he does.

To Afrodite: So glad you liked those lines! Their relationship in general is much more intense now. Turles has actually

been here for over a year now (15 months!). I'm happy you liked Retasu. They are like brothers. Hee, soap-opera-ish.

To GokuGirl: So glad you liked it! That they are!

To SupersayiankingTommy: Glad you liked it! Brolli and Raditsu will both go in search of mates once spring starts. Type-3

saiyajins can be male OR female. Both genders are in their villages. The song is in the reviews page of the previous fic.

To Alastair: Know of the chapter? Glad you like his sneaky-ness. Raditsu's going to try to find someone during mating

season this spring. You'll find out his reaction then. :) If she does lose Goku she can easily do that. That part happens

in this chapter.

To Seto Kaiba's My Babe: So glad you liked it and it made you laugh.

Chuquita: And that's the end of Part 3! See you sometime next week!

Goku: Byebye!

Vegeta: I wish somebody's just tell me what my training consists of.
