"Saiya-jin School"

Part 3

Enjoy...

Camera scans around set, Goku is on one side of the set with Jemima, Hannibal & Little Ted all clutched tightly to him. Vegeta is on the other side, arms folded, in his classic pose, smirking at Goku.

Vegeta: "You can't protect them all the time you know."

Goku: "That's what you think!"

Vegeta: "You have to sleep."

Goku: "Yeah, well..."

Vegeta: "When you least expect it, I will be there."

Goku: (sighs) "May I suggest a truce?"

Vegeta: (raises eyebrows) "A truce?"

Goku: "Yes. You agree to leave the rest of the toys alone and I will err..."

Vegeta: "You will what, Kakarott?"

Goku: "Umm... Let you read the story?"

Vegeta: (groans) "That's not much of a trade."

Goku: "Well that's the best I can do at the moment."

Vegeta: "Hmm... maybe."

Goku: "How about I throw in making some fishies as well?"

Vegeta scratches his chin and contemplates this last offer.

Vegeta: "Let's see if I understand this right. I get to read the story and make some fishies if I leave the 'toys' alone?"

Goku: "That's right."

Vegeta: "Hmmmm... What about a song?"

Goku: (exasperated) "If you want to do a song as well then that's fine with me. Just leave the toys alone!"

Vegeta: (chuckles) "Nahhh. Forget the song."

Goku: "So, no song now?"

Vegeta: "Okay, you got a deal. I get to make fishies and read the story."

Goku: "And you won't touch the toys?"

Vegeta: "I won't touch the toys."

Goku: "Okay then."

Goku turns and takes the toys back to their part of the set. He sits them all down in chairs around a table.

Goku: "There you go guys, you can all sit there and relax, you're safe now."

Vegeta: "Sure, have a party guys!"

Goku: "Don't be so heartless, Vegeta. They have just lost one of their dearest friends."

Vegeta: "Well... make it into a wake then."

Goku: "I think I will pretend I didn't hear that."

Vegeta: "So what's first, the fishies or the story?"

Goku: "The fishies. We have to get things set up for the story."

Vegeta: "Oh-kay then, let's go."

Goku and Vegeta move across the studio to a large table that has some paper bags, material scraps, pens, sticky tape, string and stapler on it.

Vegeta: (suspiciously) "What's this?"

Goku: "This is how we make fishies, Vegeta."

Vegeta; (opens eyes wide in disbelief) "Errr..."

Goku: "Awww come on, it's fun."

Vegeta: "Okay then, what do we do?"

Goku: "Right, girls and boys you can do this at home as well. All you need is what you can see here."

Goku waves his hand across the table indicating the items.

Vegeta: "So what's first?"

Goku: "Firstly you pick up a paper bag."

They both pick up a paper bag

Goku: "Then you take a pen and draw an eye on either side of the bag."

Vegeta draws a couple of really big eyes.

Goku: "Then we take the material scraps and 'stuff' the bag with them leaving some room so we can scrunch up the paper into a tail."

Vegeta 'stuffs' his fish then crumples the end up a bit.

Goku: "Then we staple the tail so the insides can't escape. "

Vegeta concentrates hard on stapling the tail.

Goku: "Then take a length of string and sticky tape it to the top and 'voila', we have a fishy..."

(use your imaginations here guys!)

Vegeta manages to get the sticky tape off his fingers, spandex, table, armor, hair and eventually onto the string and fish.

Goku: "Oh well done, Vegeta!"

Vegeta holds up his fishy

Vegeta: "Easy!"

Goku: "Let's go hang them up over there."

Goku walks over to where a back drop of the ocean is and 'ties' his fish to a length of string slung between 2 poles. The fish then 'dangles' down and looks like it is swimming in the ocean.

Vegeta: "Hey, that's pretty cool."

Goku: "Not bad, eh? Here, I'll put yours up."

Goku takes Vegeta's fish and ties it up along side his. They both sway gently in the breeze.

Goku: "We know a song about fish, don't we Vegeta?"

Vegeta: "We do?"

Goku: "Yes."

Vegeta: "I thought we weren't going to worry about the song bit?"

Goku: "Well I thought maybe we would sing a song after all."

Vegeta: "Talk about change things to suit yourself."

Goku: "Yeah, well, all's fair in love and war."

Vegeta: "War? Who said there was a war?"

Goku: "There isn't."

Vegeta: "Well why say there is?"

Goku: "Its just a saying, you know a figure of speech... oh look, forget it."

Vegeta is looking kind of 'lost'.

Goku: "Let's get on with the song."

Vegeta: (grudgingly) "If we must."

*Piano music springs up*

Vegeta suddenly jumps into a fighting stance.

Vegeta: "Eek! What's that?"

Goku: "It's just the piano music, Vegeta."

Vegeta: "But where's it coming from?"

Goku: (scratches head) "Errr.. I'm not really sure."

Vegeta: (looks around) "Well I can't see anyone playing a piano."

Goku: "Come to think of it, neither can I."

Vegeta: "You've got to admit, it's a little freaky!"

Goku: "I'm sure that there is an explanation for it."

Vegeta: "Well I would sure like to hear it."

Goku looks around the studio, he moves over to one side and pulls aside a curtain to reveal... A technician with all his electrical bits in front of him.

Goku: "Hi there."

Tech:" Hello."

Goku: "Are you the one responsible for the piano?"

Tech: "Yep, I'm the sound guy."

Goku: "See, Vegeta, I told you."

Vegeta: "Humph. I still say it's unfair."

Goku: "Huh?"

Vegeta: "Letting the boys and girls think you have a real live person playing the piano when you don't."

Goku: "It's only a minor thing..."

Vegeta: "Maybe to you, but to the rest of us who believed you have now destroyed that bit of faith."

Goku:" I don't believe I'm hearing this."

Vegeta: "False advertising, thats what this is. We hear piano music and think there's a piano in the studio when really there isn't. Talk about a let down!"

Goku: "Ummm... I never thought about it that way. "

Vegeta: "Thats your problem, Kakarott, you don't think."

Goku: (hangs head) "Aww... I'm sorry."

Vegeta: (smirks) "Well, I suppose you can't all be perfect like me."

Goku: (choke! choke!) "What about that song now?"

Vegeta glares at the sound technician.

Vegeta: "Okay."

* piano music springs up *

Goku holds his hands up in the air and has curled them into a fist. As he sings so he releases a finger till the entire hands are open.

Goku: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Once I caught a fish alive."

Vegeta's eyes open wide.

Goku: "6, 7, 8, 9, 10, then I let it go again."

Vegeta's mouth drops.

Goku: "Why did you let him go?"

Vegeta is staring in complete disbelief at Goku

Goku: "Cause he bit my finger so..."

Vegeta shakes his head

Goku: "Which finger did he bite?"

Vegeta is backing slowly away.

Goku: (wriggles his little finger) "This little finger on my right."

Vegeta pulls out a mobile phone and punches a few numbers into the thing.

Vegeta: "Hello is that the local funny farm? Good. I have a classic case of lost marbles here for you."

Goku: "Come on Vegeta, its only a song. Why don't you join in? Who knows you may actually have some fun."

Vegeta: "If that's your idea of fun then I think I will pass, thank you."

Goku: "At least it's harmless."

Vegeta: "If it's harmless how can it possibly be fun then?"

Goku: "You don't always have to blow things up you know to have fun."

Vegeta: "Wanna bet?"

Goku: (sigh) "Why do I bother?"

Vegeta: "If singing funny fishy songs is what does it for you then feel free to indulge all you want to, Kakarott. Just leave me out of it!"

Goku: "I don't believe all of this over one simple song."

Vegeta: "Like I said, it's not my scene."

Goku: "Aww come on, I've heard you sing before."

Vegeta's eyes narrow suspiciously

Vegeta: "When?"

Goku: (looks around) "In the shower."

Vegeta: "Ark! What were you doing in my shower?"

Goku: (chuckles) "When I called over one day to pick up some training equipment from Bulma we walked past the bathroom and you were in fine form as I recall."

Vegeta: (looks nervous) "Ummm, what exactly did you hear?"

Goku: (smiles) "Well you were giving a wonderful rendition of 'Rubber Ducky' if I remember correctly."

Vegeta goes bright red.

Goku: "You weren't all that bad either. So, shall we sing?"

Vegeta: (growls) "I suppose so."

Goku: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Once I caught a fish alive."

Vegeta: "6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Then I chucked it back again."

Goku: (frowning) "Why did you let it go?"

Vegeta: (glares) "Cause it sank its teeth into my finger so."

Goku: (Glares back) "Which finger did it bite?"

Vegeta: (snarls) "The stupid little finger on my right!"

Goku: "There that wasn't so hard now was it?"

Vegeta: (huffs) "Alright for some."

Goku: "I don't know why I bother trying to get you to loosen up and have some fun."

Vegeta: "I prefer to make my own fun."

Goku: (sings)" Rubber ducky, you're the one..."

Vegeta, a face like thunder turns and looks daggers at Goku.

Vegeta: "Kakarott, I'm warning you."

Goku: "Rubber ducky..."

Vegeta: "Jemima WILL be next."

Goku shuts up.

Vegeta: "Thank you. Now let's move along shall we?"

Goku: "Okay then. So, boys and girls, do you know what's next on Saiya-jin School?"

*tic...toc...tic...toc...tic...toc...*

Vegeta: "Quick! Everybody out!"

Goku and the crew all look up rather startled.

Vegeta: "Out ! out! out! Evacuate! Sound the alarms..."

Goku: "Calm down, Vegeta. Why should we leave?"

Vegeta: "There's a bomb, a bomb in the studio."

Goku: (giggles) "No there isn't."

Vegeta: "Yes there is. I could hear it."

Goku: "Hear what?"

Vegeta: "The ticking. I could hear the bomb ticking."

Goku: "Where?"

Vegeta: "Shh everyone and just listen."

*tic..toc..tic..toc..tic..toc...tic..toc...*

Vegeta; "Agh! there you go!"

Vegeta begins to run around panicking

Goku taps Vegeta on the shoulder.

Goku: "Err... Vegeta. That's not a bomb you hear."

Vegeta: (stands still) " It isn't?"

Goku: "No."

Vegeta: "Then what is it?"

Goku: "It's the clock."

Vegeta: "The clock?"

Goku: "Yes, the clock."

Vegeta: "He-he-he, I knew that."

Goku: (sigh) "Let's clean up this mess in the studio then we can go look at the clock and have our story."

Vegeta: "What? Oh yes... sure thing."

Vegeta sheepishly begins to help Goku restore some sort of order to the studio.
