Summary: The holidays are finally here and Veggie's gotten a special present for his favorite peasant. Then, a wayward mistletoe sends Veggie into a mentally skydiving panic as he returns to Bejito-sei to escape an awkward confrontation, using his temporary ou-empowering armor to set up a ki barrier around the castle. Goku, Turles, and the fusions race after Veggie in order to set things right. But how will they manage to get through the mega-blizzard that's engulfed Bejito-sei during its short yet powerful snowy season? Find out!

" Is Veggie SURE he wants to take down every last one of the mistletoe from the house? " Goku asked sadly as they

headed down the hall, back in their usual clothing, and in search for the others.

" Yes I'm sure. It'll be a lot safer for me and a lot healthier for the both of us. " the ouji nodded confidently.

" Hai...healthy. " the larger saiyajin repeated quietly.

" YOU! "

" Hm? " the ouji looked over his shoulder to see Chi-Chi standing there, agitated. Behind her were a nervous Raditsu

and a placid-faced Turles, " Ah! Onna! " Vegeta grinned wickedly, " Enjoy your little stay? "

She grabbed the small saiyajin by the collar and picked him up off the ground, " YOU PARANOID LITTLE JERK! YOU THREW

US BOTH IN JAIL! "

" HUH? " Goku gasped.

" Ah... " Vegeta blinked.

" Veggie is that true? "

Chi-Chi looked over at him, " OF COURSE ITS TRUE! He left us in one of those cells in the basement! "

" Veh-gee? "

" ...perhaps. " the ouji said casually.

" Goku-san, I request your permission to hit him. " Chi-Chi pointed at Vegeta, who sweatdropped.

" Per-mission de-nied. Veggie is going through an emotionally stressing period right now and it is only natural he

would do things a little over the top. " Goku folded his arms.

" He left us both there in those servant maid uniforms. " she said flatly.

" ... " Goku stared blankly at the ouji.

" Kakay? " the smaller saiyajin widened his eyes innocently.

" You may lightly tap Veggie on the head. " Goku nodded sternly.

Chi-Chi dropped Vegeta and smacked him over the head with all her might.

" YEOW! " the ouji winced.

" CHI-CHAN! " Goku exclaimed, instantly grabbing Vegeta protectively, " I SAID A 'LIGHT TAP'! NOT TO SERIOUSLY INJURE

HIM! " he started to rub the spot the smaller saiyajin had been hit, " My poor sweet misguided Veggie. "

" Nehh! " Vegeta stuck his tongue out at Chi-Chi.

" Can we at least get our own clothing back? Not that these pants aren't nice..but, they're "NICE". " Turles motioned

to the black pants he had on, " I'd rather have my evil briefs back. "

" Fine I'll get them for you once my head stops spinning. " Vegeta mumbled, rubbing his own head after removing

Goku's hand from ontop of it.

" You know what I found interesting, Vegeta-san? That even though you banned all those briefs, somehow you yourself

were still wearing a pair when I saw you dash from out of the hot springs with your aroused koibito. "

" Those weren't briefs. They were-- "

" --panties? "

" --underwear. " the ouji defended himself.

" What is the difference between briefs and underwear? " Goku sweatdropped.

" I'll tell you when you're older. " Vegeta said wisely, " Now, TO THE SHIP! "

" ... " Goku stood there, scratching his head, " BUT I'M 35! "

333333333

" Huh. " Vejitto blinked as he stared down at the box in one room of the ship which contained a single mistletoe,

" Hey Goggie come here. "

" Hm? " the dance fusion walked over to him. The entire group was already on their way back to Earth, having left a

mere 5 minutes ago. Vegeta had given his family members a hurriedly farewell, ignoring all talk of the upcoming mating season

which coincided with Bejito-sei's version of spring. The last thing he wanted to think about after seeing Goku's non-platonic

organ come to attention in the hot springs was mating season, " That is odd. Maybe Toussan just forgot to put it up with the

rest of the decorations. "

" Well then, " Vejitto picked the box up, " Let's put it up for Mommy! I'm sure he'll a-ppreciate it! "

" YEAH! One more bit of decorating be-fore Christmas day! "

333333333

" ... " Vegeta sat in the captain's seat of the ship, wary.

" You know, if you're going to turn him down say it directly to his face instead of flying off to your homeplanet to

hide. "

The ouji sent a minor glare at Chi-Chi, " What does it matter to you what I do? "

" It matters because what you do affects Goku-san. The worst possible thing you could do to him aside from saying

"NO" is to never give him an answer and leave him wondering forever what your answer would be. "

Vegeta laughed nervously, " D--don't you get serious with me Onna, Kakarrotto only enjoys me as a platonic friend. "

" He wants more from you and you're blinding yourself to that information. "

The ouji's laughter stopped and he shifted around uneasily.

" Your feelings about Goku-sa are your own private business but you better tell him "yes" or "no" soon or else he'll

just build up and end up humiliating himself. " she folded her arms.

" ... " Vegeta looked away, turning his attention back to the window before him.

Chi-Chi turned and headed back out of the room, concerned.

" Hmmhmmhmm, hmmhmmhmm. " Goku hummed contently while holding an armful of gifts as he passed her in the hallway.

" Goku-san. " Chi-Chi said suddenly.

" Hn? " the large saiyajin tilted his head, then smiled, " Hi Chi-chan I'm gonna go give Veggie his gifts now! Well,

some of them. I left the rest at home so Veggie can open them tonight since we probably won't get back home until then. "

She reached over and squeezed his free hand tight, " It'll be oh-kay. I promise. "

Goku stared at her, confused, " Um, alright? " he blinked, then headed towards the room where Vegeta was keeping

himself, " Oh Veh-gee! I gotcha some of the presents I bought just for you! " the larger saiyajin said excitedly.

" Presents? " the ouji looked over his shoulder at the excited peasant.

" Mmm-hmm! " Goku set one of the smaller presents down on the ouji's lap, " These are just some of them though, the

others are back in Veggie's room. " he smirked, " I went Christmas present shopping for Veggie all by myself so I'm the only

one who knows what I got you. "

The ouji flushed, " Uh...that's, nice? "

" Go on Veggie, open it. " Goku poked at the present.

Vegeta unwrapped the gift to reveal a bottle of, " Strawberry sherbet? GAH! Kakarrotto sherbet is a frozen food you

have to keep it in the freezer or else it'll melt! " he panicked after the initial surprise, " I'm thankful but this

container feels like its room temperature. "

" Silly Veggie, its supposed to be! " the larger saiyajin grinned, " Its shower sherbet! "

" ... " the ouji's face went blank.

:" Son-kun has an affinity for involving food in his foreplay. A good way to figure out if he DOES have

non-platonic feelings for you or not is to watch out for any sensual snacks that may show up around the room you're staying

in. "

" AAUGH! " the ouji covered ears, " HOW COULD YOU EVEN KNOW ANY OF THIS YOU SAID YOU WERE MY SUBCONSIOUS DOESN'T THAT

MAKE WHAT YOU JUST SAID COMPLETELY UNTRUE? ":

" Ah ha...ah hahahaha. " Vegeta let out a nervous laugh, " Its, its very nice, Kakarrotto. "

Goku let out a loud purr.

" ... " the ouji flushed.

" You know, I don't really shower that often cuz I like baths cuz they remind me of the ocean 'n lakes better, but

I always like trying something new. " his peasant chirped.

:I can't SHOWER with him! At least in the tub your lower body is concealed by the murky water! Showers are much

smaller and personal! And its a lot easier for things to bump into each other: Vegeta mentally panicked.

" I got you some fancy chocolates too. " Goku held out another box, " Some of 'um have nuts inside, and others have

flavored creams, and some have caramel...its a variety pack! "

" You...don't use THESE in the shower too, right? " Vegeta asked, uneasy.

Goku shrugged, " No...I suppose you COULD if you wanted to, but fancy candy melts really fast so all you would have

is chocolate goo on your fingers. " he sweatdropped.

" Of course. " the ouji nodded, going over to open yet another only to go pale when he saw it, " Is...this a RING? "

" Close! Its a soda can opener! " Goku took it from Vegeta and pressed the shiny button on top, which opened a

section of the "ring", " For those times when Veggie is too tired or lazy to bother with the soda can flippy thing! "

" Flippy thing? " Vegeta blinked.

" I don't know what that little soda can tab is called. Do you? "

" ...no. " the ouji admitted, embarassed.

" Well, now Veggie has one to open it with! " Goku said proudly.

The ouji looked over at the other gifts messily wrapped by his close platonic friend who was smiling platonically

at him while radiating with that warm, comforting, and obviously platonic aura that flared up around him whenever the smaller

saiyajin was close by, " You're, a very thoughtful person, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta stammered out, avoiding eye contact.

" Aw, Veggiesthoughtful too. Just look at this beautiful ship! " the larger saiyajin motioned around them, " Its so

very nice and Veggie is a wonderful Veggie to do all this for me. If I had this much money I'd buy Veggie something this

amazingly stupendous as well! "

The ouji smirked, feeling his ego suddenly awaken, " Yes, well, it is kinda of a fancy ship isn't it? "

" The greatest ship ever! And it has so many rooms and so much to do! Veggie designed the best spaceship ever and we

actually get to ride in it! I actually get to OWN it! "

" Hahaha, Kakarrotto stop, you flatter me. " Vegeta grinned with pride.

" Oh-kay! " Goku chirped.

" ...I was joking! " the ouji laughed, " Continue on my fair peasant. Continue. "

333333333

" Wow...picture in picture in picture in picture is AWESOME! " Yamcha exclaimed as he, Tenshinhan, Launch in her

blonde form, and Kuririn sat on the couch in Bulma's living room watching several football games at the same time.

" Who'd have guessed every local professional time would have a game today. " Tenshinhan pondered.

A goal was kicked on the upper-right picture and Launch pumped her fists in the air, " ALRIGHT! WE WIN! " she turned

towards the three men and grinned while holding out her hand, " Ante up fellas! I just won 75 dollars! "

Yamcha and the others grumbled and each produced 25 dollars from their pockets in one form or the other.

" Heh-heh-heh. " Launch snickered as she flipped through her fairly sized wad of bills, then turned her attention

back to one of the games still in its 2nd quarter, " GO GO GO! KICK HIS ASS! TACKLE HIM DAMMIT---YES! "

" How long as she been in her louder form? " Juuhachigou placidly asked Bulma from the kitchen table, where both

they and Dr. Briefs were drinking their coffee, " I'm beginning to get a headache. " she flatly added, " And that cursing

doesn't help. "

" I'm not sure. She was like that when she got here. " Bulma sweatdropped.

" Bulma-san! Bulma-san! "

She looked over to see Goten tugging at her sleeve, " Yes? "

" When's Toussan 'n Kaasan 'n Niichan gonna get here? "

Bulma looked at her watch, " Well, your brother called about 15 minutes ago so he should be here soon. HOPEFULLY

your parents are on their way too. "

The semi-chibi nodded, only to be called off by Trunks over to the tree.

Veku wandered into the kitchen from the hallway, grabbing several cookies off a yet-to-be-put-out-for-the-guests

tray.

" ... " Bulma stared at him, slightly annoyed.

" What? I'm a warrior! I require nourishment! " Veku snapped, then bit the head off the gingerbread cookie, " Mmmmm,

gingerbread. " he sighed contently. The fusion looked left, then right, then snatched the entire tray back down the hall

with him.

" ACK! HEY VEKU GET BACK HERE WITH THAT ITS NOT YOURS! " Bulma got up and raced down the hallway after him.

Juuhachigou raised an eyebrow, " Who was that? "

" Oh he's a fusion who came back from the dead when all those saiyajins were wished back. " Bunni said cheerfully as

she passed by Juuhachigou.

" ...oh. " she blinked, slightly confused, " Oh-kay.. "

" ▫KNOCK▫KNOCK▫KNOCK▫ "

" I'll get it! " Goten said happily as he lept off the armchair and ran towards the front door. The chibi opened it

to reveal Gohan, Videl, Pan, Hercule, Buu, and Bee, " NIICHAN! " he grinned, giving his older brother a hug.

" Hey! " Gohan grinned, stepping inside while pushing an alert Pan in a stroller, " How's everything been? "

" GREAT! There's lots of food 'n presents 'n everything! "

Hercule looked over at the group infront of the tv, " Oh hey are you guys watching the game? "

" Games. " Yamcha corrected him.

Hercule walked towards the couch, " Say who's winning? "

" I am. " Launch smirked, waving her wad of cash in the air.

Tenshinhan sweatdropped.

" Say Goten is Piccolo-san or our parents here yet? " Gohan asked as he took Pan out of the stroller and held her

while he sat down on a nearby chair.

" Piccolo-san's outside in the backyard "contemplating". " Goten motioned towards the kitchen, " Toussan 'n Kaasan

aren't here yet though. " he frowned.

" Outside... " the older demi-saiyajin murmured, then turned to his wife, " Videl can you take Pan for a bit, I have

to talk to Piccolo-san. "

" Um, alright. " Videl took the toddler from him, confused.

Gohan headed to the back door and opened it to reveal the tall namekian standing next to the door staring out upon

the lightly snow-covered backyard, " Piccolo-san? "

" Gohan. " he nodded thoughtfully, " I'm deeply pondering something, so forgive me if I'm not in the middle of the

festivities. "

" Can I, help you with it somehow? " the demi-saiyajin asked.

" No, I'm not sure you could, my son. It is a burden I and those on the Lookout must carry. " Piccolo wisely replied.

" Oh..well, if there IS anything I can do for you, let me know oh-kay? "

" Pee-co-la! " a voice chirped behind them through the backdoor.

Gohan and Piccolo looked over their shoulders to see Pan staring up at them through the door.

"Peeco Peeco! " she happily pointed at Piccolo.

The tall namekian sweatdropped, " "Peeco"? "

Gohan smiled cheesily at him, " She missed you. "

" Lovely. " Piccolo flatly remarked.

The demi-saiyajin opened the door and picked Pan back up, " Come here you. " he smiled at her and the toddler

laughed, " Hey Piccolo-san? You wanna hold her? "

Piccolo paled, " I'd rather not. I'm not particularly good with babies. "

" You were good with me. " Gohan smiled.

" That's because you weren't a baby when you first became my student, you only acted like one. "

Pan giggled and Gohan sweatdropped.

333333333

" ... " Vegeta sat there in his seat, staring blankly at the group of unwrapped presents he had just opened while

Goku sat in a seat beside him. The ouji in shock and his peasant content with a smile on his face.

" You know. " Goku spoke up, " We have a whole 20 minutes be-fore we get to earth, and we are both a little dirty

from the long trip, so... "

Vegeta whipped out a can of aerosal spray and sprayed the area, " Now we're not. " he said tonelessly, then sat back

down with a nervous sweat dripping down his body.

" ...oh. " Goku said sadly, looking at his feet, " Well, we could do other things while we wait, like...eat the

chocolates together. "

The ouji sat there with an odd image of how they would eat the chocolates floating through his head. His face

flushed instantly, " No thank you. "

Goku slumped forward again in defeat.

" Perhaps we could go into the other room and chat with the rest of the passangers. " the smaller saiyajin suggested.

" But I wanna stay here with Veggie. " Goku watched Vegeta get up off his chair, " We'll have lots of time with

everyone else once we get back to Bulma's house. "

" Wh--why would you want private time with me? W--we have plenty of private time at home. " Vegeta's eyes nervously

darted around.

The larger saiyajin reached over and pulled Vegeta onto his lap.

:OHGODOHGODOHGODOHGOD: Vegeta started to shudder, bright red.

" I was so worried about you when you ran off like that Veggie. I could never forgive myself if I had accidentally

hurt you somehow. " Goku said quietly, his breath on the back of the ouji's neck.

" Waaaah- " Vegeta twitched, feeling dizzy.

" I wanna make it up to Veggie, if Veggie would let me. " he started to rub the smaller saiyajin's shoulders.

" Ahh...ah...Kaka-- " the ouji shakily grabbed Goku's wrists, " Ka.. " he looked over his shoulder to see Goku's

facial expression no different from usual, thus confusing Vegeta, " I, I have to go back to piloting the ship now. " he

slid off and waddled back to his seat.

" Oh-kay Veggie. " Goku nodded, saddened.

Vegeta sat there in his seat, keeping the most attention to the "road" he had ever paid it before. The ouji burst

up a semi-large kiai around him just in case Goku decided to try something again.

Goku sighed and walked dejectedly back into the other room where the rest of the group was enjoying dipping various

cookies and such into the chocolate fountain.

" Hi Goku-san. " Chi-Chi smiled as she dipped a chocolate chip cookie.

" Hi. " he said flatly, plopping down on the floor beside the fountain.

" Toussan are you oh-kay? " Vejitto asked, worried.

" No. " Goku leaned his head sideways on the fountain's bench and stuck his tongue out so part of the chocolate

flowed into his mouth, " I'm having a problem. "

Gogeta tilted his head, confused.

" A Veggie problem. "

" Ohhhhhhhhhhhh. " the rest of the entire group said in unison.

" What happened? " Turles asked.

" I just went to give Veggie a hug and then Veggie climbed away saying he had to go pilot the ship. "

" So? " Chi-Chi shrugged.

" THE SHIP IS ON AUTOPILOT! " Goku exclaimed.

" ...oh. " Chi-Chi paled.

" It's BEEN on autopilot ever since we left Bejito-sei! I don't get it! I got Veggie so many nice things with even

nicer ones waiting at home yet Veggie still pushes me a-way! "

" Its because of his ukephobia you know. I mean other timelines have proved that the Ouji has the possibility within

him to fall into a non-platonic relationship with you. " Chi-Chi explained, " Preferably AFTER I die, but, yes. "

" Do I have to wait for Veggie to tell me what an uke is too? " Goku sighed.

" Aww, I'll tell you. " Turles grinned.

Gogeta sweatdropped.

" ..r...Really? " Goku stared at him, curious, " You are not just joking with me, right? "

" No. No joke. " Turles nodded, then looked around the room, " Does anyone object to me informing Kakarrotto of what

Vegeta-san dares not tell him? "

" Not really. " Vejitto shrugged.

" I...guess not. " Gogeta shifted around, still semi-uneasy.

" Better to have the Ouji in the dark about Goku-san knowing than Goku-san in the dark about something only the Ouji

knows. " Chi-Chi smirked, " It'll be fun, we can mess with the Ouji's head after this. "

Goku sweatdropped, " I'd rather not CONFUSE Veggie-- "

" --Kakarrotto do you happen to have a small you and Vegeta-san plushie? " Turles asked.

Goku whipped out little 6 inch tall plushies, one of himself and one of Vegeta.

" Good! Visual aids are always helpful in enriching the learning experiance. " he sat down on the edge of the

fountain, " Ahora quisiera que usted fingiera que el plushie de usted le represente, y además para el que esta' de

Vegeta-san. "

" Haha, no peh latta boono sepah oi! " Goku laughed.

Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " Oh great he's doing it in saiyago. "

" Kakarrotto is more fluent in saiyago if you believe it. " Turles smirked, " Seme y el uke pueden representar un

amplio número de las características para cada uno de las personas en una relación, aunque generalmente hay un solos seme y

uke. "

Goku nodded, deep in thought already.

" En el más básico de términos técnicos, un seme es el quién inserta su enchufe en el agujero de los uke. El uke es

el que esta' en el extremo de recepción. Vegeta-san, siendo príncipe, se ha traído hasta cree que como tal, él debe actuar

como seme--líder, si usted. " Turles tacked on a cape to the back of the Vegeta plushie, then tore it off, " Esta es la

razón por la cual el Vegeta-san teme sucumbir al ukedom que usted ve. Él está asustado que aunque por la naturaleza él es

uno, él debe continuar guardando esa estructura del seme para arriba alrededor de él así que él no pierde su respecto y

título. Se espera que de los derechos del saiyajin para que sean semes. "

" ...ohhh. Veh-gee." Goku murmured.

" Su absolutamente un lío, de que que el título es la única cosa ahora que está parada de su manera. " Turles held

the Vegeta plushie dangling far off and away from the Goku one.

" OhhhhHHHHhhh. " Goku sulked, " Seh tatte lo quina panu! "

" Sin embargo, hay una ocasión, si usted la desea tan, de romperse a través de la barrera del Vegeta-san del orgullo

real. "

Goku grabbed him the collar, " TELL ME! TELL ME HOW! " he exclaimed in english.

Chi-Chi stared at him, bug-eyed.

" Ah... " Goku paused what he was doing and let go of Turles, who sweatdropped, " Sorry. "

" It's, alright Kakarrotto. " Turles watched him for a moment, " Algunos meses a partir ahora de la estación de

acoplamiento del saiyajin comenzarán. Cada saiyajin en Bejito-sei entrará calor que el planeta entero entra un frenesí

llenado desplome. Si usted lleva el Vegeta-san Bejito-sei durante la estación de acoplamiento que soy seguro que hay una

buena ocasión de agrietarse que la cáscara ridícula del seme se abre de par en par. "

" P..pero natta lope de singate! Bo zezo nu rammme kah po! "

" That is because last year you arrived on the planet near the very end of spring. "

" ... " Goku's expression went blank. The large saiyajin got up and waddled over to the door he had entered through.

He opened it just a hair and peeked through to see Vegeta laying down on one of the couches--NOT piloting the ship,

" ▫PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR▫ "

" AHH! " the ouji sat up, alert and at attention.

Goku quickly ducked back behind the door.

" Uhhhh... " Vegeta blinked, laying back down, " Hn. " he sighed, looking tiredly over at the small pile of presents

across the other side of the room. The ouji shifted around uneasily, " Maybe I should explain to Kakarrotto the difference

between a platonic and seemingly non-platonic though completely platonic gift. I can't keep him in the dark about EVERYTHING,

though tempting as it may be. " he smirked.

" If you're going to start purring like that perhaps you should save it for a more opportune moment. " Turles

pointed out.

Goku shook his head, " I am sorry. I cannot control the purring. "

" Wonderful. " Chi-Chi said dryly as she took a cup and scooped some chocolate out of the fountain.

" -ATTENTION PASSANGERS- " Vegeta's voice came out over the intercom.

" ▫PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrr▫ "

" ... " the ouji went silent. Vegeta ran out of the room, grabbed Gogeta, and ran back into the room.

" Umm, Attention passangers? " Gogeta's voice came on the intercom this time. The others sweatdropped, " We, will

be, Toussan I can't read your cue cards! "

Vegeta held the cue card up higher, his announcement scribbled rapidly on said cards.

" Oh oh-kay there we go. "We will be landing at our destination in approximately 10 minutes. Please take this time to

venture to your various seats and be sure to seatbelt yourself in. Thank you for flying Oujisama Spacelines!". " he

happily announced, only to be pushed back into the other room by Vegeta a moment later. The dance fusion sweatdropped,

" Toussan makes my head hurt. "

" I think it was my purring. Do you think it was my purring? " Goku asked the others.

All of whom nodded in unison.

" Veggie? " Goku poked his head in the doorway, " I a-pologize for my purring just now. "

" Apologyexcepted. " Vegeta quickly replied, keeping his eyes on the space road.

" I'd still like to make things up to you. "

" Thepresentsareenoughthanks. "

" ... " the larger saiyajin stood there, somewhat uncomfortable, " I was thinking of taking Veggie somewhere to eat

for New Years Eve or Day. "

The ouji was silent.

" Or, if, if Veggie doesn't wanna go out we can have a special meal in one of the more out of the way kitchens at

Bulma's house. I could even catch some really big fish for Veggie. We could catch it together. It'd be so much fun! And you

won't have to worry about the cold either cuz we'll go fishing in one of the more tropical parts of the planet or maybe even

the southern hemisphere. "

Vegeta looked over his shoulder at Goku, " I'm, I'm alright Kakarrotto, really. Its the thought that counts anyway. "

" ...I know how to tango and ballroom dance. "

" HEY! How about we go play some videogames upstairs huh? " Vegeta said suddenly, getting out of his chair.

" I like videogames Veggie! " Goku chirped happily, then sweatdropped, " I am just not very good at any of the new

ones. "

" Aw, that's oh-kay. Maybe you'll get lucky and beat me a few times. " the ouji laughed it off as he headed for the

stairs, followed by Goku.

333333333

" YES! THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI IS ONCE AGAIN VICTORIOUS! " Vegeta pumped his fists in the air.

Goku sweatdropped at their scores on the tv screen.

" Thank you for the ps3 Kakay. It was very nice of you. " the smaller saiyajin cheerfully semi-gushed.

" I am glad Veggie likes it. " Goku laughed lightly.

" Toussan! Mommy! We landed 10 minutes a-go! " Vejitto stuck his head into the room.

" We did? " Vegeta blinked, then grinned, " Haha, I didn't notice I was enjoying winning so much so many times in a

row that I completely lost track of time! "

" Veggie is very good at his videogames. " Goku smiled at him.

The ouji stood up and shut his ps3 off, " Well, time to go inside and see how my Culinary Cuisine room is doing. "

he smirked as he proudly strode off out of the ship and into Capsule Corp.

" Veggie means the kitchen. " Goku said to Vejitto.

" OHHHhhhhhh. "

" Hey everybody! " Bulma waved as they came inside, " You made it. "

" Indeed we have! " Vegeta boasted, whipping out his blue apron, " MAKE WAY FOR YOUR BRINGER OF SUSTANENCE! YOUR

HOURS OF MEDIOCORE FOOD HAVE ENDED! "

" Well! Somebody's in a good mood. " Bulma smiled, " Much better than the one he left in, anyway. "

" Veggie beat me in Budoukai 5's battle mode over 60 times. " Goku laughed embarassingly as he walked up to her,

" It really cheered Veggie up. "

" Ah. " she folded her arms, then smirked, " So did he win fair 'n square or did you let him win? "

" Oh I would never cheat Bulma! And Veggie is the most a-mazing videogamer I have ever met! " Goku gasped, " I..MAY

have "accidentally" pushed the incorrect button during a few of the matches--but 99 percent of it was all Veggie, I swear! "

" Oi! Kakarrotto! " Vegeta shouted with confidence from the kitchen, " For being such a good sore loser I've decided

to whip you up something extra special! "

The larger saiyajin's eyes sparkled with delight, " "Something extra special?"... "

" Yup! It'll take me a little while but I'll get it done! " the ouji smirked, " My royal prowess is nothing to be

taken lightly ya know. "

Chi-Chi walked up to the Z senshi sitting around the living room tv, " Oh? Is the game on? "

" Plural. " Yamcha responded, holding a semi-small pack of bills in his hand. However, Yamcha's pile was nothing

compaired to the massive collection Launch now held on her lap.

" You know, you CAN enjoy sports without betting on them. " Chi-Chi sweatdropped.

" Launch started it. " Tenshinhan sighed dejectedly.

" Heh. " Launch chuckled to herself, still in blonde form.

" Oh...well, I guess goodluck to all of you. " she shrugged and went off to find both of her sons.

" Sigh! " Vegeta sighed contently, " Its so good to be back here where, though I am judged, my every move is not

crucial to the moves of everyone else on the planet. "

" Veggie will ALWAYS be crucial to me! " Goku cheerfully shouted from the other room. The ouji flushed.

" W--why thank you my always-platonic peasant. " Vegeta smiled weakly at the compliment.

" Edgee? " Pan asked, tugging at his pantleg.

The ouji looked down at the toddler in the red santa jacket, " Yes young demi-demi-Kaka-girl? "

" Food! " she chirped.

" There will indeed be food. " Vegeta turned his attention back to taking out various ingrediants, " Lots of

delicious food. MUCH more delicious than the food that has currently been put out--arrived from the sources of local

bakeries and the culinary talent of Bulma's mother. "

" Ahhhhh.. " the toddler said in awe, then waddled away.

" Heh. I am indeed quite impressive. " the ouji chuckled.

" Edgee? "

" AAAH! " Vegeta shrieked, looking up to see the toddler now sitting on his head. He twitched slightly, then picked

her up off and handed the toddler to Goku, " Your grandchild, Kakarrotto? "

" Aww! Hi there Panny! " Goku said, taking the toddle from the ouji, " Isn't Veggie the very best? "

The ouji let out a small purr of pride, then returned to what he was doing.

" Son-kun? "

" Hm? " Goku looked over to see Bulma standing there.

" Tell me if I'm just imagining things but are you pandering to Vegeta's ego on purpose? "

" No, I'm just trying to help Veggie feel better. " the larger saiyajin frowned, then smiled excitedly, " Guess what

I learned on the way home? "

" What? "

He looked left, then right, then grabbed Bulma and promptly dashed into the nearby hallway, " Shhh. "

" Uh. " she blinked, confused.

" Turles told me about it on the ship to cheer me up. " he could barely contain his excitement.

Bulma raised an eyebrow.

" Seme and uke, Bulma! I know what those words mean now! "

" Nani! "

" ▫CRASH▫BOOM▫CLANK▫POW▫! " several loud noises came from the kitchen. Goku and Bulma ran back inside to see what it

was only to find Vegeta standing there amongst various fallen cooking supplies, a large pot on his head.

" Did anyone else just feel a sudden gravitational shift? " the ouji asked, looking confused.

" Heehee. " Goku chuckled, " Veggiesogreat! "

" Hey? Where did all this money come from? " Launch, now back in her blue-hairred from, stared down at her cash

winnings, " OH! Vegeta let me help you with that. " she sweatdropped, hopping over the back of the couch to pick up some of

the pans, " When did you get back? "

" About a half hour ago? " the ouji blinked.

Goku walked over and picked up the larger cookware and with much enjoyment picked the pot off Vegeta's head, " Here

you go your majesty. " he nodded to the ouji as he handed him the pot.

" ▫Prrrrrrrrrrr▫ " another little purr ripped from Vegeta. Goku gave him a quick hug, then teleported back to where

Bulma was standing.

" SEE? Its the most a-mazing thing ever! Its like, its like I suddenly have knowledge of exactly which Veggie-buttons

to push! I just got Veggie to purr two times in the last 5 minutes! That's like, winning the lottery! "

Bulma laughed, " Son-kun I don't think you can quite equate purring to-- "

" --the VEGGIE lottery! " he excitedly interupted.

" What exactly did Turles tell you? "

" WELLL----... " Goku's expression suddenly went blank.

" Yes? "

" I can't really explain it in english since he explained it to me in saiyago. "

Bulma sweatdropped, " Then just translate it. "

" But my english isn't as good as my saiyago! " the larger saiyajin pouted.

" How can that be? English is your first language!...well, barring the amnesia. "

" Oh-kay, umm...I...here! " he pressed his palm to her forehead while using his free hand. Goku concentrated on the

information and a few seconds later Bulma let out a gasp.

" OH MY--- "

" ... " Goku took his palm off her forehead, tilted his head, and blinked.

" --he actually told you the TRUTH? No lying or word-twisting at all. "

" So nice to see you all have such faith in me. " Turles commented as he passed by.

" Son-kun... " Bulma started off, " So, now what do you think? "

" About what? "

" About "Veggie". "

" ▫PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr▫ "

" Rhetorical question. " she sweatdropped.

" I think I'm gonna go make Veggie purr some more. " the large saiyajin rubbed his hands together while Pan sat on

his right shoulder, " Its my new favorite sound! " he gushed.

" Fay-veht! " Pan chirped.

" Wait! Son-kun! "

" Hm? " he paused, his foot in mid-air.

" Does Vegeta know that you now know what those two words mean? "

Goku paused for a moment, " I, don't think so. " he smiled, " But that's oh-kay cuz there is no need for me to

explain those words to Veggie since Veggie already knows. "

" "Since Veggie already knows" what? "

The larger saiyajin looked down to see Vegeta suddenly standing there, looking curious. He bent down on one knee and

took the ouji's hand, " Since Veggie already knows that I still have many wonderful and special gifts just for Veggie waiting

up in his bedroom, right my high prince? "

" ▫PRRrrrrr▫ " the ouji smiled widely, then turned around and walked back into the kitchen.

" Did you see that? I got Veggie to purr with CAPTIAL LETTERS that time! " he beamed at Pan.

" Huh? " Pan tilted her head, happily bewildered.

" You know, stroking his ego does not equate to the amount of things Vegeta will let you do to him. " Bulma

sweatdropped.

" Who said I was going to do anything to Veggie? " Goku blinked.

" Er...I thought...I mean if you know what seme and uke mean now you must know if your "thoughts" on Vegeta are

still platonic or not. "

" ... " ▫

" You, wanna tell your oldest and dearest friend who cares for you like a brother if you've been hitting the jar

so frequently lately because of any "special feelings" you may have developed for Vegeta? "

" ... " ▫

" Son-kun? " she asked, concerned.

" Is this true or false or multiple choice? "

" WAAH! " Bulma fell over. She lept to her feet, " True or false! "

" C. "

" ... " Bulma stared at him blankly, " C. "

" C. "

" Ohhhh, my head. " she rubbed her temples, " I think I'll go check on Vegeta. "

" Make sure to remind Veggie a-bout the many luxurious Veggie-gifts I have got him that he has yet to unwrap! " Goku

happily called over to her.

" Uh-huh... "

Goku stood there, smiling happily.

" Edgee-obaasan! " Pan grinned.

" He sure is. " Goku nodded contently, patting her on the head.

" K--Kakarrotto! "

" Hm? " the large saiyajin glanced over his shoulder just in time for V.2 to come running up to him, his fingers

bandaged all up, " GASP! Veggiesclone your hands! "

The tall, modified ouji clone sniffled, " Oh Kakarrotto it was horrible! " he latched onto Goku, " Bura was making me

help her sew the present she's going to give you and I don't know how to sow so I kept accidentally poking myself with the

needles and Bulma had to help me disinfect my hands and it hurts so much! "

" Awwww, that's so terrible. " Goku looked at the bandaged hands. He pulled a small bag out of his pants pocket,

" Here you go Veggiesclone, a senzu bean! "

" Gasp! " V.2 gasped with delight, then smirked, " Ah, but Kakarrotto, " the medium-sized saiyajin's eyes temporarily

sparkled while saying the name, " my poor hands are so bruised and battered, there's no way I could pick up that bean.

Perhaps if you were to use your own to place it in my mou-- "

" ▫GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR▫ " Vegeta was suddenly standing between them growling venomously at V.2 and

sending a death-glare at him.

V.2 quickly grabbed a bean out of Goku's hand and ate it, then dashed off abck down the hall.

Vegeta let out a snort of defiance, then smirked proudly and puffed out his chest.

" Veggie? "

The little ouji turned around and smiled sweetly at him.

" ...hold Panny please. " Goku quickly handed Pan to Vegeta, then ducked into the bathroom on his left, slamming

the door shut behind him.

" ... " Vegeta stared blankly at the bathroom door, starting to pale.

" Obaasan? " Pan looked up at him.

The ouji sweatdropped, " I'm not your granma! That'd be Onna. " he pointed over at Chi-Chi, who was in the living

room, " HEY ONNA! WHY'S THE DEMI-DEMI-KAKA-GIRL CALLING ME YOUR TITLE? "

" Haha..she, she's calling you obaasan? " Chi-Chi stiffled a burst of laughter.

Vegeta sweatdropped. He turned back to Pan, " I'm not your obaasan, alright? I'm not ANYONE'S obaasan because I'm not

a woman! "

" :) " Pan smiled at him.

Vegeta stared lamely.

" Edgee! "

" That's better. " the ouji smirked, patting her on the back.

" ▫FLUSH▫! " the toilet flushed and the door to the bathroom opened. Goku staggered out of the room with a dazed

smile on his face.

" I luv my i-magination. " he sighed contently.

" What did you just relieve yourself of? " the ouji asked, uneasy. Pan let out a yawn, starting to fall asleep in the

smaller saiyajin's arms.

Goku let out a huge sigh, " Veggie's MY number 1. "

" ▫PRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr▫ "

" AAUGH! WILL YOU STOP SUCKING UP TO HIM JUST SO YOU CAN LISTEN TO HIM PURR FOR A FEW SECONDS! " Chi-Chi exclaimed

from the other room, starting to get embarassed.

" GASP! ONNA! Kakarrotto is NOT sucking up to me! " Vegeta said in overdramatic agastness, then grinned wickedly,

" He has merely come to his senses. "

" Oh brother... " Chi-Chi slid down in her chair, rubbing her forehead.

Goku smiled widely, almost possibly in a cunning manner.

" Are there any other words of PLATONIC devotion my favorite peasant would wish to enlighten his gracious ruler

with? " the ouji beamed up at him.

" Oh many many many words, ouji-sama. "

" ▫PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR▫ "

The larger saiyajin took a bold step forward in Vegeta's direction and the ouji instantly froze.

" Ah---I, I'm gonna go back and finish that delicious snack I'm baking for you. Byenow! " he zipped back into the

kitchen, only to re-enter the living room at normal speed in order to hand Pan over to Gohan before zipping towards the

kitchen again.

" ... " some of the others stared over at Goku in awkward curiousity.

" What? He IS intellegent ya know haven't all of you been in battle with him before? " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow,

scoffing at them, " So he's using that battle intellegence to prey on the Ouji's sense of "royal pride", let him go.

I missed seeing the Ouji completely freak out a couple chapters ago I wanna be here when he finds out what Goku-san did on

the trip back here. "

The others continued to exchange odd glances.

" Come on, it'll be fun and you know it. "

" Veggie's LOTS of fun, Chi-chan! " Goku rubbed his hands together.

" That's right you show that Ouji who's boss! " she gave him a thumbs up.

" I wanna show Veggie LOTS of things...lots and LOTS... " Goku's fingers wiggled in anticipation, :I've never had

this many creative Veggie-related ideas running through my head before! It has to be be-cause the rules are gone...and

be-cause now I understand exactly where Veggie is coming from: " OH VEGGIE! "

" Kakarroujo? "

" Hn. " Goku flinched slightly as his thought-bubble was popped. He smiled down politely at the pre-teen, " Hello

Bura. "

" I have a very special Christmas present for you, Kakarroujo! " she held out the large, wrapped pink box.

" Umm, thank you? I guess? " Goku tilted his head, taking the gift.

" Open it! Open it where Toussan can see! " the demi-saiyajin gushed.

" Its not a dress is it? Cuz I don't wear dresses. " he gave her an uneasy expression, then grinned, " I prefer to

go nude! "

A blood vessel burst in Vegeta's left nostril and the prince struggled to find a tissue or napkin to stop the

bleeding.

" WAAH! KAKARROUJO! "

" --ji. " Turles coughed from the other room.

" ... " Bura sent him a death glare, " What was that? "

" Kakarrouji. "

" I'm going to ignore you now. "

" You know you really should return to the dark side, I can't for the life of me imagine how Vegeta-san persuaded

you over to his side. " Turles shrugged.

:A little over four years ago at this very moment, Vegeta whistled casually as he passed by Bura's room. Inside

the chibi was performing various measurements on a piece of cloth. Shiny, pink cloth.

The ouji walked up to her, " Say there B-chan, whatcha doing with that? "

Bura grinned, " I'm making a New Years outfit for you Toussan! "

" ...oh. "

" Toussan can you raise your arms please I need to find out how big to make the waist of the skirt. " she chirped,

holding up a measuring device.

Vegeta paled, " Ah, yeah, about that...umm, B-chan? "

" Yes? "

" Don't, you ever get tired of designing outfits for me? "

" No. " Bura said blankly, then gushed, " You're my favorite person ever Toussan! "

" Awww.. " the small saiyajin felt his ego swell, only to be brought back down to earth by the ribbon Bura had

suddenly tacked on his boot. Vegeta pulled it off with ease, " Bura, what I mean is...don't you find it easy to design for

me? "

" Well, yeah, you've got the curves! " she grinned, outlining the ouji's figure in the air with her hands.

" I do NOT have "the curves". " Vegeta mentally grunted in annoyment, " Anyway, what I'm trying to say is wouldn't

it be more fun to design for a more difficult body structure, like, uh, say, Kakarrotto? " he smirked cunningly.

" Kakarrotto? " Bura blinked.

" Yeah! And with how mushy Kakarrotto is I bet he'd enjoy all these, ah, lovely designs of yours. "

" You really think so? " the chibi's eyes widened and sparkled in awe.

" Of course. Kakarrotto's kaka-tush was practically MADE to be in a skirt. " he grinned wickedly, " A short

skirt; black with white inside. "

Bura pulled out a body proportion ratio paper, " Actually Toussan according to my measurements of you to Mr. Goten's

Daddy, your backside is much rounder and-- "

" --let's not talk about that right now huh! "

" Uhm...oh-kay? "

" Hey, I have an idea! How would you like to help me design a special, type of maid uniform for my dear sole

remaining peasant, hm? "

Bura gasped with joy, " REALLLLLY? ":

" Ah, happy memories. " Vegeta clasped his hands together contently from the kitchen.

" THAT'S HOW YOU CAME UP WITH THAT SCARY SKIN-BURNING UNIFORM OF HORROR? " Goku stood agast, " BURA HELPED YOU? "

" Well...you can't really blame him for asking for help on that. " Chi-Chi rolled her eyes, " Its not like he was as

in-touch with his feminine side back then. "

" We kept in contact via quarterly 3 minute morse code messages. " Vegeta said sturdly.

" ANYWAY. " Bura announced, loud and annoyed, then calming down to content, " Its now time for Kakarroujo to open his

wonderful present. "

" Hn... " Goku looked down at it, then promptly ripped the wrapping paper off in one blow. He nervously peeked inside

the box only to turn pale green upon seeing it, " That's...a lot of detail. " he sweatdropped, " And a lot of pink. "

" Why don't you go to the bathroom and change into your nice new outfit, huh Kakarroujo? " Bura asked cheerfully.

" I would not like that thank you. " he quickly slammed the box shut.

" What's it look like? " Vegeta popped up from behind Goku.

" Veggie can have it if he wants. "

" NANI! I DON'T WANT WHATEVER'S IN THERE WHY WOULD YOU THINK SUCH A THING? " the ouji panicked.

" I think I'll go put this a-way in Veggie's room now. " Goku sweatdropped, heading up the stairs.

" You better think seriously on trying that on before New Years! I'm holding you to it! " Bura called up the steps

as Goku continued his climb.

" I wanted to see it. " Vegeta pouted.

" I'm sure it would've looked very stunning on you, Vegeta-san. " Turles snickered from the living room, " Whatever

type of dress it was. "

" YOU SHUDDUP OR I'LL MAKE YOU WEAR IT! "

" Yeah goodluck with that one. " Turles laughed.

" Hmmph. " the ouji folded his arms, " I would too. "

" There there Toussan. " Bura patted him on the shoulder, " I made a really nice tuxedo for you for New Years. Its

just like the kind in the spy movies; all black and smooth. "

" Really? " Vegeta said, interested, " Will certain parts come off and transform into mechanical weaponry for me to

use against enemies? "

Bura sweatdropped, " I, I think that's more of Kaasan's field. "

333333333

And so, New Years Eve arrived.

" BEHOLD! " Vegeta announced, whooshing into the living room wearing his fancy tux and royal red cape behind.

" ... " the entire room sat empty.

The ouji slumped just as Bunni passed by, giving her a sad and disappointed "where'd they all go" expression.

" Bulma's at East City's New Years Celebration as a guest reporter, Mirai's back home in his timeline celebrating

New Years with his family there, Trunks is at the Sons', V.2 went with Bulma to avoid going with Bura to some of the fashion

stores in that area, Bulma's father is asleep already and I'm going to spend the remainder of the night watching some of my

favorite movies! " she held up several dvds with a smile on her face, " I'm going to have to hurry too if I want the movies

to be over in time for me to watch the ball go down in East City Square! "

" Oh. " the little ouji's tail flicked back and forth behind him. He raised an eyebrow, " Where's my nemesis? "

" Turles? Oh he's upstairs on the roof. "

" On the roof! "

" Watching the fireworks of course! They do have SOME that go off in our city you know. Its a perfect place to watch

from, you know, if you can fly or know how to perfectly balance yourself on a round roof. " Bunni explained, sitting down on

the couch and popping in one of her dvds.

The ouji rolled his eyes, then sighed and strolled back up to his room where he met with utter darkness upon opening

the door.

" ▫POW▫ " a tiny blue firework suddenly exploded above his bed. Vegeta's eyes widened. Another, slightly larger

miniature red firework exploded just above the blue one. Within seconds dozens of multi-colored fireworks of various shapes

were exploding there in the darkened room.

" Ohhhhhhhh. " Vegeta sat down on the bed and watched the private fireworks display just for him while the life-sized

display went off far in the distance of West City. The smaller saiyajin almost slipped into a trance-like state of awe at the

fireworks as they started to explode in the form of golden letters and a red symbol that spelled out "I :heartsymbol: you

Veggie". Vegeta jerked back to alertness and his face flushed bright red. The fireworks trickled down and disapated as their

creator who had been shooting off the ki-made fireworks with a pointer finger peeked over the top of the bed at him from the

floor.

" If you want, I can take you to see the real fireworks. " Goku said quietly in saiyago, smiling brightly at the

smaller saiyajin.

" ▫Prrrrrrrrr▫ " a strong purr emitted from the ouji.

" C--can I take that as a yes? " the larger saiyajin asked eagerly, a chill of excitement from the sweet sounding

purr running down his back.

" Perhaps. " Vegeta smirked. The last week or so had been rather blissful with how many compliments his favorite

peasant had been giving him lately for no specific and obviously platonic reason.

" GREAT! " Goku pumped his fists in the air, " Would Veggie like to change into something more comfy for his

Veggie-sized body. "

" I think I shall. " the ouji walked to the side and quickly changed while his peasant stood there on the other side

of the room. Goku's tail sweatdropped at the saiyajin she was attached to, " OH-KAY! " Vegeta walked back up to him wearing

his little blue gi, " Better? "

" ▫PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR▫ " the

situation nearly almost called for an emergancy jar.

" ... " Vegeta stared up at Goku, bug-eyed, " Ah...Kakarrotto? "

" Oh-kay! I'm done! " he chirped, back to normal. Goku picked the smaller saiyajin up in one arm while he pressed his

first two fingers to his forehead, " Happy New Years, my Veggie. "

" Happy New Years to you as well, my wonderful peasant. Who knows what sort of things are instore for us in this

coming year. " he said wisely, " Infact, just about anything is possible. "

" A--ANYTHING? " Goku nearly choked out with joy.

" Yup. Anything. " the ouji folded his arms, " Got any New Years Resolutions lined up? "

" Yes. I re-solve to make my Veggie as happy as physically possible! " the larger saiyajin grinned.

" Now THAT is a resolution! " Vegeta grinned with pride, " Let's go see those multi-colored firey explosions now,

shall we? "

" YEAH! " Goku beamed, then concentrated on the spot and teleported them out into the night.

A few floors below sat the spaceship Vegeta had given Goku. And a few rooms in, hanging casually and unbeknownst to

our saiyajin duo, was a sprig of mistletoe.

12:40 AM 1/2/2006
THE END!

Chuquita: (turns on tape-recorder with ominous forboding music) DUN DUN DUUUUUN!

Vegeta: (twitch)

Goku: (grins)

Chuquita: The end:)

Vegeta: I was deeply hoping you'd forget about that particular piece of mistletoe.

Chuquita: I'm sure you were. (smiles)

Goku: (purring)

Vegeta: So...he, KNOWS now.

Chuquita: He now knows.

Vegeta: (pales) Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, what sick twisted fate could possibly await me know that Kakarrotto is AWARE!

Chuquita: (blink) You know, YOU'RE still not aware that he's aware of what Turles has suddenly aware...ened him to.

Vegeta: (sulk) And thus my future is that much bleaker.

Goku: Aww (hugs the Veggie)

Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Veggie I didn't do it to get you upset. I mean, its an ongoing storyline. He HAS to find out

SOMETIME, right? It might as well be in spanish.

Vegeta: ...what was the purpose of doing that part in spanish anyway?

Chuquita: My version of saiyago is based on a mix of spanish and what little I know of japanese; along with whatever keys I

happen to randomly hit while typing--so I figured why not do Turles's entire explaination in spanish!

Vegeta: (twitches)

Chuquita: I'm taking Spanish 1 next semester.

Vegeta: (blankly) Why would you need to take Spanish 1? You took spanish 1 through 4 already!

Chuquita: Apparently high school spanish doesn't count towards college spanish...and its been 3 or so years since I've had a

class of it. I'm probably rusty.

Vegeta: (sighs frustratedly and rubs his temples)

Goku: (prrrrrrrrrrs)

Vegeta: (gulps)

Chuquita: Doesn't Veggie like the purring?

Goku: I SURE DO! ♥

Vegeta: WAAAAH! Well I DON'T! (bright red) Don't you know what kind of thoughts cause saiyajin to purr like that!

Chuquita: (raises hand) Impure ones?

Vegeta: EXACTLY!

Chuquita: ...

Vegeta: I don't get why the both of you are so BOLD all of a sudden.

Chuquita: Yeah, mystery of mysteries eh?

Vegeta: ...

Chuquita: (to audiance) ANYWAY! Stay tuned after in upcoming months for the final GT parody fic, Veggietine's Day 5, and the

multi-chaptered Piccolo Superfic! And now for the..uh... (whips out file and pastes the two words in) Assessor Ripostes! Yes.

Goku: (pulls Veggie onto his lap) (PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) (wiggles around)

Vegeta: AHH! UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION! UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION!

Goku: (slides the Veggie off back into his own chair)

Vegeta: (shaking while glowing bright red)

To Hyper Kid: Glad you liked it! Happy New Year!

To tea: Thanks! Raditsu'll have a bigger part in the Veggietine's story. There still is one mistletoe left up though.

Hope you like it! Maybe Veggie will eventually calm down.

To Afrodite: Thanks so much! I really enjoy writing the hot springs scenes. Veggie's so much fun when he's spur of the

moment. Glad you liked it!

To Saiba: Aw, its oh-kay. December was a very busy month for me too. Glad you liked the chapter. I was so busy the week

before things had just gotten really Veggie-focused. Cool! I didn't know it was Happy Christmas there. Happy New Year!

To Alastair: I guess a lot of people were online Christmas Eve. He'll definately get to see her soon. Veggie'll be so

surprised.

Vegeta: (smirks at the chocolate) Why thank you! I shall do my best to share it with my soon-to-be-guest.

To Zogeta: Yes, poor consitpated Veggie. No need to worry though, I promise there will be closure! Possibly during the early

half of this year...I'm not completely sure. At least its not up as high as it was, say, a year ago. Veggie does have his

troubles, especially if he's going to become king soon; that'll really put him in the spotlight. Aw, its alright. Wow!

Australia! At least its nice 'n warm down there, where I am its all cold 'n rainy. That would be a nice happily ever after.

Veggie just couldn't take the sight of it. I'm sure he's going to try his best not to ever bring up that topic again. I had

a great Christmas and New Years, I stayed up way to late on New Years Eve though, til 6am the next day! Let's hope he does

make that decision :)

To Jenna and Grub: Welcome back! School is a very busy thing. (nods in agreement). The truck sounds fun! Later!

Chuquita: And that's the end of Part 4 AND the Christmas special.

Vegeta: Thank goodness. (sigh of relief)

Goku: (sweatdrops)

Chuquita: I have a busy work-day tommorow so I'm gonna try to wake up early 'n do stuff then.

Goku: Good idea!

Chuquita: (waves to audiance) See you sometime next week with the new fic!

Goku: Byebye!
