"What the hell…" Piccolo muttered as he looked at the sight before him. His eyes were wide in surprise, and the two Saiyans standing next to him bore similar expressions, though Vegeta's was a bit more reserved. Steven was standing before them right next to a giant pink lion. It's eyes seemed to glow as it stared at them unblinkingly.

"Isn't he cool guys?" Steven exclaimed.

"Well, I've never seen anything like him," Goku said scratching the back of his head as he approached it. "I guess he is pretty cool!" he said, "He reminds me of cotton candy to be honest."

"That's what I thought too! So can I keep him?" Steven asked, excitement in his voice.

"No," Vegeta stated bluntly, arms still crossed, "Now put that back where you found it. You don't know where it's been."

"Aw please?" Steven pleaded, "Piccolo, you'll let me keep him right?"

"Actually, I'm gonna have to side with Vegeta on this one," Piccolo said folding his own arms across his chest, "Doesn't matter if he looks more like a plush toy than a beast, he's still a wild animal. Honestly, there's really nothing stopping him from biting your hand off."

"What? No he's totally tame! Look, I even taught him to say 'I love you'!" Steven argued. He then proceeded to put his hands on the lion's lips and move them around as he said "I love you," between clenched teeth.

Vegeta pinched the bridge of his nose. "Steven, stop fooling around with the oversized cat," he groaned.

"Seriously, who did you think that was going to fool?" Piccolo questioned.

"Aw, I love you too, ya big lug!" Goku crooned as he picked up the big cat in a bear hug. The lion looked startled, but remained limp in the Saiyan's arms. With that, the two other aliens swiftly smacked their palms against their foreheads.

"Kakarot, put that down before you give yourself fleas again," Vegeta snapped.

"Come one you guys, he's not that bad. And his fur is really soft! I say we let Steven keep him," Goku reasoned, "Besides, we're all stronger than him anyways. We can protect Steven if he tries to hurt him." Steven whooped in delight.

"The fact that you want to keep it makes me hate the idea more," Vegeta retorted.

"My answer is still no," Piccolo reaffirmed.

"Aw…" Goku pouted, still holding the pink cat, "You guys are no fun." His frown dissipated however when an idea came to mind. "Well, if Steven can't keep it, I will!" he announced, "Chichi and I have the perfect place up by the barn for this little guy, and Gohan would just love him!"

"How is that any differ-" Vegeta began.

"Fine," Piccolo interrupted.

Vegeta looked at Piccolo in shock. "What?!" he sputtered, "You can't be serious!"

"I am. Really, it's kind of pointless to try and stop him. Don't you remember the last time we tried to control Goku?" he responded, "Besides, he already gave his kid a goddamn dragon. I doubt a pink lion would be any worse."

Vegeta sighed in exasperation. "Fine...Keep the giant flea bag. See if I care," he relented, pinching the bridge of his nose, "But if I find that thing in the temple, we're having roasted cat for dinner." Steven and Goku cheered as the four of them walked back to the warp pad, Goku still carrying the lion like a stuffed animal.

Sorry this one is so short. Still, I hope you guys like it!
