Quote of the Week: "Well, I guess this is goodbye Brak the happy-go-lucky man-about-town and hello Brak the HEARTLESS CLAM
SLAYER!" -Brak, "The Brak Show"
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Hi, hello, and welcome to the newest edition of the Corner along with a brand-new story.
Vegeta: (Mr. Suspicous) I sense a pattern here.
Chuquita: (happily) [points to him] THAT YOU DO my little ouji-friend. [whips out her light-purple-clear gameboy advance]
I've got a NEW game!
Goku: (squeals) WEEE!
Vegeta: (sarcasm) ANOTHER ONE to add to that massive collection of yours.
Chuquita: (snorts) I wouldn't call 20+ "massive". (cheers up) Besides, there's something VERY SPECIAL about this game.
[flicks game on]
Goku: (grins) OOH LITTLE DIGITAL VEGGIES! [grabs the gameboy from Chu] Awwwww, look how cute-n-chibinized digital Veggie is!
Vegeta: WHAT?! (demanding) LET ME SEE!
Chuquita: (hmmphs) [takes the gameboy from Son] You both can't see it cuz it's mine...unless I let you look over my shoulder
at it.
Vegeta: (glances at the screen) Hey...that IS me.
Chuquita: Yeah, they made a couple dbz games, and since I'm not a big fan of card-games...I got the RPG!
Goku: YAY!
Chuquita: (while playing) I've heard a lot of sites complain it was slow and not really worth the money, but I like it.
Watch! If I charge up a kamehameha, when I finally zap it at somebody, you can hear Son-San yelling it. (lets go of B button)
Gameboy: Kamehameha!
Goku: (grins) COOL...(face droops) But I say the attack WHILE I'm charging it, not after. It would make no sense after.
Chuquita: A lot of stuff in this game makes no sense, but I've never been a stickler for details. There's some neat stuff in
it if you really look around. Some interesting cameos. Like Roshi's magazines have Bulma and Chi-Chi on them; the Chi-Chi you
meet up with is the one from the present time of the show, not at the beginning when this game's time occurs; the ghosts in
Hfil look like the ghosts Gotenks spits out (when you talk to them) and in the village inside one of the houses there's a
poster of Dr. Gero in the boys room.
Vegeta: Is it just me, or did she just reciprocate herself?
Chuquita: It's not "reciprocate".
Vegeta: Then what is it?
Chuquita: Uhh....(lost in thought)...OH! Contradict!
Goku: (curious) (to Veggie) Where did you get "reciprocate"??
Vegeta: (shrugs)
Chuquita: My favorite part so far is when you have to collect flowers to give to the kid to give the girl he likes to make
up for him not being able to rescue her. I nearly burst out laughing when the text message said "You picked a pretty flower",
in fact, I did burst out laughing.
Vegeta: (snickering) (mockingly) Did you pick ME any "pretty flowers", Kakarrotto?
Goku: (sweetly) Would you like some, little Veggie?
Vegeta: (face bright red) ....uh, nevermind. [leaves offstage, wide-eyed and red; then soon returns; back to his normal
state] (stiffly) There, I'm better now.
Chuquita: Actually, the kid only took one flower. I still have 4 "pretty flowers" left in my inventory. What I need them for
I'll never know.
Goku: (smiley) To give to little Veggie! (turns to Veggie) Riiiiiight?
Vegeta: (glowing red) [gets up] (quickly) Please-excuse-me-again!
Chuquita: [pushes him back in your seat] Come on Veggie! Don't get up NOW! You'll miss the fic!
Vegeta: (glances at Son; who giggles at him) [grabs Chu by the collar while still staring at the saiyajin beside him] Make
Kakay stop. AT LEAST!
Chuquita: (laughing) Aww, I think *snicker* you look cute together *HAHAHAHA*--ACK! [Veggie has her in headlock]
Vegeta: (gritting his teeth) DON'T...EVEN...JOKE LIKE THAT!!
Chuquita: (sniffs the air) (turns green) BOY your armpits SMELL!
Vegeta: (embarassed, drops her) (selfconsiously sniffs them) They smell oh-kay to me.
Goku: (happily) Yeah, Veggie smells nice. Like a *chuckle* "pretty flower".
Vegeta: (mockingly) Heh-heh-heh, that's right Kakarrot, yuk it up!
Chuquita: Anyways, today's story is a twilight-zone-ish commemoratroy called "Me Myself and I". It's humor with a tad of
confusing mellodrama.
Goku: (confused demonstrator) Who am I? Am I you? Are you me? Then who am I?
Chuquita: Exactly!
Vegeta: I don't get it.
Chuquita: Ahh, but you will! Now on with the show!
Summary: If you are me then who am I? During a sparing match Veggie spontaniously begins to wonder what it would be like if
HE were in charge of Goku's body. Not paying attention, he accidently hits Goku too hard and knocks the large saiyajin
unconsious. The slightly guilty ouji goes to bed that night only to wake up as "Kakarrot" himself! Is Goku slowly going crazy
or has Veggie's wish, out of some bizarre coincidence, been granted? And if so, who is in Veggie's real body!? Find out!
Chuquita: (smiling) In other words, when too much buddiness goes aray. (cheesy imitation) Tonight, on, the Twilight Zone.
Goku: (imitating T.Z noise) Doodoodoodoodoodoodoodooodeededeedee!
Vegeta: HUSH UP!
Goku: (big sad baby-eyes) Sorry little Veggie 'o mine.
Vegeta: (temporarily turns red; shakes it off) That's oh-kay Kakarrot. That's oh-kay...
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Take one Vegeta Oujisama. A saiyajin. A man whose sole goal in life is to defeat, crush, and overpower his one
advarsary. Obsession? Perhaps. Son Goku, a saiyajin who's order in life is about to be scrambled, along with the mind of his
'little buddy' as they take a sparring session, unawarily on the outskirts of, The Twilight Zone...
" WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! " a high-pitched, excited voice shouted as the figure disappeared from
Vegeta's sight, then seconds later appeared behind the ouji and grabbed him around the waist. The figure plummeted down
towards the hard rocky floor. Vegeta gulped, then in a panic whipped his force around causing the figure to take the blunt
of the hit as they smashed into the ground.
" OWW! VEH-GEE! That hurt! " Goku whined as he sat up, the ouji grinned at him.
" That was the plan! " Vegeta responded.
" GO-KU!!! " a voice called from the house behind them.
" Chi-chan! " Goku grinned. Vegeta smirked at the figure emerging from the house and quickly pushed the large,
sitting saiyajin back down on the ground and uncharacteristically hugged him. Goku blinked, confused.
" I just came to tell you lunch is ready and-- " Chi-Chi paused to see a baffled Goku laying there on his back with
Vegeta ontop hugging him and grinning evilly at Chi-Chi. Goku acknowledged her and waved with a big smile on his face.
Both in SSJ2 mode. Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " --WHAT IS THAT EVIL LITTLE OUJI STILL DOING HERE!!! " she exclaimed, " I thought
he left 3 HOURS ago! "
" Umm, " Goku thought outloud, " Veggie can't tell time? "
Chi-Chi glanced over at the ouji, who gave her his own cynical little wave, " ...HA! " she mock-laughed at him.
" To tell you the truth, Chi-chan, me-n-Veggie got so caught up in beating each other senseless I guess we lost track
of time. " Goku shrugged, then got up. The ouji still attached to him. He grinned and pointed to Vegeta, " In't that CUTE! "
" Yah....cute. " Chi-Chi said, glaring at Vegeta, who blew a raspberry at her.
" OOHH! YOU LITTLE!! " Chi-Chi snarled and reached for her bazooka. Vegeta yelped and took off as the duo began a
race around the Son house. Chi-Chi firing large cannon-ball shots at Vegeta, who dodged every shot.
" AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! " Vegeta laughed at her, then yelped as he felt something lift him off the ground.
" Silly Veggie! " Goku giggled at the ouji, holding him up by his boots.
" ERR! KAKARROT LET GO!! " Vegeta yelled, then froze to see Chi-Chi heading towards them, only to screech to a halt
infront of Vegeta and aim her bazooka at his head.
" Chi-chan what are you doing? " Goku asked.
" Hold him out to the side! " Chi-Chi said, aiming.
" Huh? "
" Hold him out to the side so when I blast his head off I don't take your knee with it! " Chi-Chi said, slightly more
agitated.
" "blast his head o...." AHH CHI-CHAN NO! " Goku shrieked and knocked the bazooka out of her hands, " WHAT ARE YOU
THINKING--besides, I'm still not done sparring with Veggie yet. "
Vegeta and Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" Ugh, fine. I'll DESTROY HIM _after_ we have lunch. " Chi-Chi said calmly, putting her bazooka away and re-entering
the house, " You can finish 'sparring' with him then. "
" ... " Goku looked down at the ouji he was still holding, " Can Veggie come eat with us too? "
" NO "VEGGIE" CAN'T COME EAT WITH US TOO!! " Chi-Chi screamed angrily, " You KNOW how I feel about that creature now
put him down and come inside! "
" But, but Veggie looks so hungry. " Goku said sadly.
" Yeah "Chi-chan", "Veggie"'s hungry. " Vegeta fake-pouted, rubbing his stomach.
" If he's so hungry he can go eat the grass for all I care. " Chi-Chi shook her head.
" Chi-chan! That's horrible! " Goku gawked, " Veggie's practically STARVING! " he sniffled, then turned cheerfully to
the ouji and grabbed his cheeks, " Who could possibly say no to a face like THIS! " Goku giggled. The ouji's face turned
bright red.
" Heh-heh, heheheheheh. " a goofy grin covered Vegeta's face.
" _I_ could! " Chi-Chi put her hands on her hips.
" Come on Chi-Chi, it's only for lunch. " Goku whined.
She sighed, " Alright, fine. But after that he gets his ouji-butt right back out of our home! "
" Here comes the birdy! Vroom vroom vroom! " Goku said in a maternal tone while holding a spoonful of tuna infront of
Vegeta's face. He grinned at the prince sitting next to him.
" I'm NOT eating your stupid FISH. " Vegeta snorted.
" But Veggie, it's not just ANY fish, it's TU-NAH! Good for your arteries and loaded with goodness to help little
Veggies get big and strong! " Goku moved the spoon closer to the ouji's mouth.
" I DON'T NEED ANY FISH! I'M THE STRONGEST SAIYAJIN ON THE WHOLE PLANET! " Vegeta got out of his chair and barked at
him.
" Ahh, but not the BIGGEST! " Goku pointed out, getting up and standing infront of Vegeta. He put his hand to the
top of the ouji's head; not including his hair; and moved his hand forward against himself, landing near the top of his chest
, " Yup, I've got a good foot and a half on you. "
Vegeta growled in a low tone.
" And THAT'S why you need your FISH! " he said cheerfully, then grabbed the spoonful and jammed it in Vegeta's mouth.
" Mmph...mmhh! " Vegeta's face turned puke-green as he spat the tuna out, " ECHHH! KAKARROTTO! THAT HAS GOT TO BE THE
MOST VILE-TASTING SUBSTANCE ON THE ENTIRE--ack! *gasp*-ACK-*gasp* " Vegeta suddenly started to pound on his stomach, a
hacking, wheezing sound coming from his mouth. Goku stared at him for a second, struggling for air, and then shrieked.
" MY SPOON'S GONE! " his eyes darted around the room, then instantly back to the ouji, " Oh no--VEGGIE! " Goku ran
over to the prince and grabbed him from behind, trying to heimlich the spoon out from his throat, " I've got you Veggie,
don't you worry! I'm gonna save you! " Goku said in a panicky voice, squeezing tighter but still unable to delatch the spoon,
" CHI-CHAN!! HELP ME CHI-CHAN! "
" Hmm--AHH! " Chi-Chi poked her head out of the kitchen at the two saiyajins. She darted across the room and pushed
Goku out of his heilmich manuver, " WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING! "
" Chi-chan, Veggie's CHOKING and I need to save him before he-- "
" Look at you hands! They're probably practically INFECTED with ouji-germs! Now go wash them off before you get any
in your mouth! " she said, disgusted.
" BUT VEGGIE! " Goku cried. Chi-Chi glanced over at the choking Vegeta and smacked him across the back, causing the
spoon to fly out of his mouth and into Goku's soup.
" There. He's all better. Now go clean your hands. " she said, then looked down at the hand she had used to smack
Vegeta's back, " In fact, I better go with you. "
" VEH-GEE! " Goku whined as Chi-Chi pushed him into the bathroom, " I hope he's oh-kay. "
" He's fine, now get some soap on your hands! " Chi-Chi snorted.
Vegeta, meanwhile, was hacking in pain and leaning over the table. A small blob of blood splattered onto Chi-Chi's
new tablecloth. He smirked weakly, " Take that, Onna. " the ouji peered over towards the bathroom. Chi-Chi and Goku were
both infront of the sink; Chi-Chi trying desperately to wash off any ouji-germs left on Goku's hands, " Pointless, really.
Does she have any idea how much contact we make during battles? " he snickered, then hacked again, " Hmmph, if _I_ were
Kakarrot _I'D_ tell her a thing or two. Heh-heh, yeah. He'd stand right infront of her and tell her what a witch she is and
then baby and coddle me right before the evil one and she'd die from the shock! "
" You say somethin little Veggie-chan-chan? " an innocent voice said from behind him. Vegeta froze and looked up to
see Goku staring down at him.
" Kakarrot, sit down with me. " Vegeta said, doing so himself, then motioning Goku to follow suit.
" Sure little Veggie, what do you wanna talk about? " Goku smiled at him, sitting down.
" Why don't you ever stand up to that Onna? Tell her how you really feel! " Vegeta said, a look of determination on
his face.
" Course I tell Chi-chan how I feel. I love her. " Goku blinked at him.
" I mean about not standing up to her ABOUT ME! You might have left me there to--to--throw up blood on the kitchen
table for all she cares! " Vegeta sputtered angrily.
" I'm sorry Veggie, but--the germs? "
" YOU'RE the one who has the "GERMS", Kakarrot. " Vegeta gritted his teeth.
" ...oh yeah! " Goku brightened up as Chi-Chi re-entered the room, smiled at Goku, silently glared at Vegeta, and sat
down at her spot at the table and began to eat. Vegeta soon followed, shoveling food into his mouth by the truck-full.
Goku smiled lovingly at them both, who were so busy eating they had become unaware of anyone else's presence. He took
the spoon in his soup in hand and put the soup in his mouth, " Hmm? " he swallowed a spoonful of the chicken noodle, " Tastes
like Veggie. "
Chi-Chi and Vegeta instantly paused from what they were doing. Vegeta with his mouth full and Chi-Chi about to place
another piece of turkey in her open mouth. They both slowly turned towards Goku wearing blank expressions.
Goku stared at them, " ...what? "
Chi-Chi suddenly snarled at the ouji, who had a look of dumbstruck fear on his face. They both got out of their
chairs at the same time. Chi-Chi grabbed the unusually large mallet from behind her seat and lept across the table, screaming
and swinging the mallet at Vegeta, who yanked Goku out of his seat by the wrist and dashed outside and teleported them both
back to their sparring site just as Chi-Chi made it out the front door. She roared.
" WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT "TASTES LIKE VEGGIE"!!! "
" Baka! " Vegeta grumbled as he took another swing at Goku, who tilted his head to dodge as they returned to their
match, " What on Earth possessed you TO SAY your soup, 'tastes like Veggie'! "
" Well, " Goku put his hand to block Vegeta's fist, " It smelled like you right before I put it in my mouth so I just
assumed-- "
" --OF COURSE IT SMELLED LIKE ME YOU BLOCKHEAD! IT FLEW OUT OF MY THROAT!! " Vegeta shouted, " Didn't it EVER occur
to you there was a REASON why you had a SECOND spoon? "
" ...no. "
" UGH! " Vegeta landed a punch in Goku's gut, " STUPID! Stupid stupid stupid! "
" She shouldn't have tried to hit you though. " Goku slightly tensed up, " Why can't you two just get along! " he
said sadly.
" Simple, Kakarrot. I hate her because she's a witch, and she hates me because she thinks I'm trying to steal you
away somewhere. " Vegeta explained.
" Are you? " Goku cocked an eyebrow. The ouji's face turned bright red.
" OF COURSE NOT!! " Vegeta screamed, only causing his face to glow even brighter.
Goku giggled, " Aww, Veggie loves me. "
" I said no such THING! " Vegeta sent a faster, less thought-through punch at Goku, missing him completely.
" Mmm. Silly Veggie. " Goku grinned.
::"silly". How can you call it THAT. I swear you know more than you let on, Kakarrot. But if you know so much why
won't you do something about that Onna! She's EVIL I tell you. PURE EVIL!!:: Vegeta's thoughts scurried through his head as
the battle became more intense.
" Sometimes Chi-chan's mean, but I don't think she's evil. " Goku said suddenly, interupting Vegeta's mental
conversation with himself. He searched his mind for any notice of an intruder, then shrugged it off as a coincidence.
" Do...you think _I'M_ evil? " Vegeta asked out of curiousity as he sent another kick Goku's way.
" YOU? " Goku looked astonished, then made a cheesy grin, " Aww little buddy don't be silly! Of course you're not
evil! "
" But I _WAS_ at one time... " Vegeta thought back.
" Nope! " Goku blocked another punch, " You were just misguided. You're easily misguided, Veggie. " he smiled, " Your
little Veggie-mind just can't take it all in without exaggerating or misunderstanding SOMETHING. "
" I do NOT misunderstand ANYTHING! " Vegeta snapped as they both went SSJ2 and began to battle faster, the ouji's
mind slipping off into random thoughts, ::Uck! I can feel that fish from lunch starting to rot in my stomach from all the
heat....bakayaro....he's ALWAYS a bakayaro....is it just me or is that sky orange??....DARNIT! It's GOT to be because of the
fish...I bet the EVIL ONE is just now cleaning up the kitchen, heh, I bet she found the little 'present' I left her on the
new tablecloth...she'll be furious about it and by the time Kakarrot gets back home _I'LL_ be back at MY home...44,000 miles
AWAY..... " he frowned slightly, " ...poor little Kakay...he's going to have to face that wrench's ranting again tonight
about what I did to that tablecloth....not the mention that 'soup' incident...I swear, if I were Kakarrot for even a day I'd
give her a piece of my mind...I'd stand up for myself...I'd show her a thing or two...maybe get in a good punch...yeah, right
to the jaw, right where she DESERVES it--:: he froze his thoughts as he suddenly heard two hard bones connect. Vegeta blinked
to see he had just unwittingly suckerpunched Goku across the back of his head. The large saiyajin plummeted to the ground,
unconsious.
" ... " Vegeta floated in place for a while, his hand still in a fist and his eyes gazing down at the small dot miles
below him, " ...KAKARROTTO!! " he called down at him, " GET BACK UP HERE! "
" ... " he waited for a response.
" KAKARROTTO! Err, CAN YOU HEAR ME! " Vegeta yelled, then sighed and flew down. He landed next to Goku, who was
laying on his stomach, unconsious. A large red bruise on the back of his head, " Ka--Kaka-chan? " he bent down and lifted
Goku up. He had a couple small brush-burns on his face but nothing too serious, with the exception of the wahloop Vegeta had
accidentally delievered to his head. " Come on, Kakarrotto-chan, I'll take you back home. " Vegeta said quietly, loading the
large saiyajin onto his back, " It's not too far from here. Excuse me for not teleporting back with you myself, but the last
thing I need right now is for the ONNA OF EVIL to knock yours truely unconsious as well. "
Chi-Chi stared at her wristwatch, " 7:20pm. WHERE _ARE_ THEY! " she exclaimed, worried. She leaned back against the
wall, outside on the porch. Chi-Chi looked up to see a small figure trudging up over the hill, " Goku? "
" *pant*pant*pant*. " the figure paused several feet infront of her, then smirked weakly, " Onna? "
" Ouji. " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes, then noticed the lump on his back, " OH MY GOD! " she ran over and reached to
grab Goku off Vegeta's shoulders, " What happened? " she said, worried, " Give him to me NOW! " Chi-Chi demanded.
" NO! " Vegeta snapped at her, stepping back, " You ARE crazy! He's had a blow to his head! I can't just hand him
over to you. Kakarrotto needs bedrest right now. " Vegeta snorted, walking by her. Chi-Chi followed him inside, making sure
Goku didn't slide off the ouji's back and onto the floor.
" What do you mean he had a blow to his head? " Chi-Chi said as Vegeta layed Goku down on the bed. Chi-Chi tucked the
large saiyajin in.
Vegeta slowly flipped Goku back onto his stomach and pointed to the large red bruise.
" GO-CHAN! " Chi-Chi's eyes widened with horror, " OH NO! HE'S HIT HIS SOFT SPOT! " she cried, rubbing the bruise
slightly.
" Soft spot? " Vegeta blinked, " WHAT SOFT SPOT! "
" The part of his head he hit when he fell off that cliff as a baby, REMEMBER! " Chi-Chi said, annoyed, " The reason
why he's not CREEPY AND _EVIL_ like YOU ARE! "
" Oh...Kakay... " Vegeta stared at the lump on Goku's head as on of his own started welling up in his throat, " I'm
sorry Kakay... " he said softly, reaching for the lump, only to have Chi-Chi swat his hand away before he touched it.
" DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM! HE COULD CATCH YOUR OUJI-GERMS AND THEN WHERE WOULD HE BE! OFF PLAYING SERVANT-MAID TO YOU! "
Chi-Chi screamed.
Vegeta looked past the yelling Chi-Chi at Goku and smiled, melancoly, " He will make such a wonderful servant-maid
one day... " he then turned his attention back to Chi-Chi, " That's not very nice to say to the person who just practically
saved Kakarrotto's life. " he smirked.
" Yeah, well you're probably the one who made that bruise IN THE FIRST PLACE! " Chi-Chi pointed at him.
Vegeta glanced around the room, avoiding eye-contact, " It was an accident, really. " he shrugged, then snickered,
" All I was doing was daydreaming about socking YOU in the face and my fist just took the message and socked Kakarrot
instead. "
" ...GET OUT! " Chi-Chi screamed at the top of her lungs, stunning Vegeta, " GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! GET OUT OF MY HOME!
GET OUT OR I'LL _THROW_ YOU OUT! " she shouted as she threw various objects at him as he ran out through the hallway and
towards the door. Vegeta skidded to a halt infront of the open doorway, then yelped as a huge glass vase headed his way and
slammed the door shut causing it to break into pieces on the floor. He heard the crash and then Chi-Chi screaming, muffled,
from inside.
" Ehhh, Kakarrot I don't know WHY I bother. " Vegeta said in disgust, then teleported back home.
" Vegeta? "
" ... "
" VEGETA! "
" Huh? " the ouji glanced up to see Bulma and Mirai staring at him, " What? "
" You seem a little, well, disconnected. " Bulma explained.
" What do you mean "disconnected"? " Vegeta glared at her defensively.
" She means you haven't touched your food through the whole dinner. " Mirai said, " And we've been sitting here for,
what, an hour now. " he checked his watch.
Vegeta looked around at the several large stacks of food-filled plates around him, " I'm...not really that hungry. "
he said, turning his attention back to the plate directly infront of him. He fiddled his fork through the mashed potatoes.
" HOW CAN YOU _NOT_ BE HUNGRY! YOU'RE _ALWAYS_ HUNGRY! " Bulma threw her arms in the air. Realization hit, " You did
something bad today, didn't you? " she narrowed her eyes at the prince.
" Toussan almost KILLED Son-San this afternoon! " 8 year old Trunks grinned, popping his head over onto the table
top. Vegeta sweatdropped and smacked his head away.
" I DID NOT KILL HIM!!! " he shrieked angrily, " All I did was hit him in a spot I didn't know was "fragile" and
knocked him cold. It's not MY fault. It's all that stupid Onna's doing! If she had only let Kakarrot stand up to her then I
wouldn't have gotten so mad about it! " he said more quietly and folded his arms.
" You knocked Son-kun COLD! " Bulma gasped, " With ONE BLOW?! "
" HOW WAS _I_ SUPPOSED TO KNOW HE HAD A SOFT SPOT ON HIS HEAD! NOBODY TELLS ME THESE THINGS! " Vegeta exploded,
" BESIDES! IT WASN'T EVEN THAT BIG A LUMP ANYWAY! "
" That's not what Goten told me... " Trunks trailed off, then yelped as Vegeta sent him the evil-eye, " --uhh,
GOING! " he shouted, then dashed off.
" A _LUMP_? Are you CRAZY! You could have done BRAIN DAMAGE to him! " Bulma scholded him, furious, " Can you imagine
how deep a punch that must have been with you at SSJ! "
" Actually, SSJ2. " Vegeta said disquietly, avoiding eyecontact.
" LEVEL TWO! OH MY GOD! " she stood aback, " He could end up mentally retarded or get amnesia or WORSE! "
" He's got both already if you ask me. " Vegeta couldn't help but snicker, then stopped when he noticed the look of
fury on Bulma's face.
" I'm going to take a drive down there and see what I can do to help. " Bulma got up and walked over to get her coat.
" I'm sure Kakarrotto's just fine, onna. " Vegeta sighed.
" Do YOU believe that? "
He flinched, " ...no. "
Bulma put her coat on, " Well you better start praying, for all we know you might have sent him into a coma and he'll
NEVER wake up. "
Vegeta's eyes widened, " ... "
Bulma opened the front door while she searched for her car-keys through the countless number on her keychain.
" I'm coming too. " Vegeta said suddenly.
" NO you're NOT. " she pointed at him threateningly, " You're staying right here. You've caused more than enough
trouble for one day! "
" Yeah, well if _I_ were Kakarrot I would have seen that punch coming. " the ouji nodded.
" *SLAM!* " he sweatdropped as Bulma slammed the door behind her.
" Poor Toussan, you're in trouble NOW. " Trunks grinned widely.
" YOU COME HERE YOU LITTLE-- " Vegeta snarled. Trunks yelped and ran off, the ouji chasing after him.
::Kakarrotto? KAKARROTTO!!!:: Vegeta had been laying awake in bed for almost 3 hours now, trying to telepathically
call his big buddy to check on him. He sighed, ::What's the use, it's not like he's going to even WANT to answer me even if
he's all better:: the ouji rolled his eyes and turned over in bed so that he now lay on his stomach.
" Bulma...where IS she! " he snorted, " How am I supposed to know how Kakarrot is unless she comes home to TELL ME! "
Vegeta glanced over at the clock, which now read 1:02am, " She better not be staying the night, that's for sure. " he mumbled
, then slowly closed his eyes, dozing off.
" AH-WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! "
" AHH! " Vegeta's eyes flew open as what sounded like two poor imiations of indians outside his bedroom window. He
got out of bed, still in his pajamas, and wobbled over to the window only to stare in shock. Trunks and Goten were standing
on opposite branches of the large tree outside his window wearing indian headgear and shooting arrows at one another, " WHAT
THE HECK ARE YOU DOING OUT THERE! IT'S ONE A.M YOU MORONS!! "
Trunks and Goten froze.
" Actually, Uncle Veggie, it's one o' TWO a.m. " Goten corrected him.
Vegeta growled, a vein bulging on his forehead, " I KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!! TORANKUSU! " he turned his attention to
Trunks, who gulped at the sound of his full name.
" Yes....Toussan who wouldn't mind his wonderful son staying up late in an attempt to 'destory' the 2nd 'kako-spawn'?
" Trunks gave Vegeta a cheesy grin.
" Get back in your room. " he said flatly.
" Hai. " Trunks sighed, heading towards another nearby open window.
" And give Goten your arrow set. "
" WHAT?! " Trunks gawked.
" I don't know where you got it, I don't CARE. But as long as it's in his hands I know it's less of a threat to my
night's sleep than it would be in YOURS. " Vegeta snorted.
" Awwwww. " Trunks whined, then took off his headgear and handed his bow & arrows to Goten, " See you in the morning,
Goten. " he said, depressed.
" Goodnight Trunks! " Goten said happily, then waved to Vegeta, " Goodnight Uncle Veggie! " he said, then hopped down
off the tree and flew home.
Vegeta watched him go, slightly sad to see the small Goku-look-a-like leave. He got back into bed and hugged one of
his pillows as his own eyes began to droop again, " Goodnight...Kakarrot. "
" *HONK!*HONK!*HONK!* " the obnoxiously giddy alarm clock rang. Vegeta opened his eyes slightly, glared at the little
clock, and smacked it of the counter causing it to break into a million tiny pieces once it hit the floor.
" Stupid thing. " he grumbled, then thought for a moment, " ...honk? My alarm clock doesn't 'honk'; it beeps. " he
said, confused, " Kakarrot's stupid clock is the one that HONKS. " Vegeta's eyes shot open and he sat up in bed, " ...oh...
Kami... " he froze, realizing where he was, " I'M IN KAKARROT'S ROOM!! " Vegeta shrieked, " How did I get here... " he
murmured, then turned bright red, " And how did I get in his bed... " he blushed like mad. An idea hit him, " Of COURSE!
Kakarrot's better again and he decided to surprise me by bringing me here and---no. " he shook his head, " That makes no
sense. " Vegeta tapped the side of his cheek with his fingers. One of his spiky bangs fell infront of his face and he pushed
it away with his hand, then paused, " "spikey bangs"...I don't have bangs. " Vegeta reached up for where his unusually large
widow's peak was and panicked when it wasn't there. He lept out of bed to find something even more startling, " AHH! I'm--I'm
TALL! " Vegeta gasped, " ...wow the air IS thin up here. " he walked around the room for a bit, " Something's not right
around here. " Vegeta then looked down and instantly recognized that what he was looking down at was not his body, " WAHHH!!
THE BIG HANDS! THE BANGS! THE SNAZZY BOXER SHORTS! THE TREMENDOUS HEIGHT! IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW! " he dashed infront of the
full length mirror. Vegeta's jaw hung to his knees to see Goku's reflection staring back at him, " --but, but it can't be.
I, I can't be. I'm....KAKARROT!! "

END OF PART ONE
Chuquita: DAH NA NA! So! What do you think? Did Veggie get his "If I were Kakarrot for a day" wish or did the blow to Goku's
head knock some of his brains out along with the blood?
Goku: I don't know.
Chuquita: (grins) Good choice! That's what I picked too!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) You're the AUTHOR, you're SUPPOSED to know what's going on behind the scenes!
Chuquita: (narrows her eyes) You want me to whip out the Big Book of Author Spells on you? Cuz I'll do it!
Vegeta: (quickly) NO!
Chuquita: I'll change you into something you wouldn't want to be changed into at all.
Goku: (happily) Like my pet!
Chuquita: Son-San you don't have a pet.
Goku: You could change Veggie into one.
Chuquita: (smirks at Veggie) Would you LIKE to be Son-San's "pet", Veggie?
Vegeta: NO! NEVER NEVER NEVER!
Goku: Aww Veggie, come on. It would be fun. I'd give you bubblebaths and you can wear a shiney new collar with your name on
it and I can teach you tricks and you can have your own little spot to curl up at the end of my bed at night!
Vegeta: (glowing red) ...
Chuquita: (cocks an eyebrow) Getting a little 'lonely', Son?
Goku: (pouts) Chi-chan won't let me have a pet.
Chuquita: Awww, poor baby...[holds up her gameboy] I finished the game by the way.
Vegeta: WHAT! YOU WEREN'T EVEN HALFWAY THROUGH WHEN WE STARTED THIS STORY!!!
Chuquita: Well, yeah, but that was 4 days ago. [points upward] I got this game on Friday....it only took me six days to beat
it...shame, I was hoping it would last longer...or at least have a couple minigames.
Goku: (grins) Like "Blast the Veggie"!
Vegeta: (gawks) KAKARROT! (sniffles) How could you!
Goku: (sweetly) Aww, I apologize sweet little buddy 'o mine. [pats Vegeta on the head and smiles]
Vegeta: (glances up to see several pink flowers now in his hair) (sweatdrops) Don't say it, let me guess, those are--
Goku: --pretty flowers!
Vegeta: (glows red again) ....right.
Chuquita: I DID enjoy playing the game though. But there ARE several things I would add. 1)Level hop after you beat the game,
2) Play as different characters (I would LOVE to play as Veggie), 3)At least SHOW your opponents health points so you know
how much longer it will take to beat him, 4)Better music, 5)Give the video clip at the end of the game the actual sound
dialogue, and 6) Be able to ride the kinto'un/nimbus whenever you want.
Goku: That wasn't several things that was six thi--
Chuquita: --HUSH!
Vegeta: (giggling; busy admiring himself in a nearby hand-mirror; still wearing the "pretty flowers" in his hair) They ARE
pretty, aren't they Kakay?
Goku: (not paying attention) Hmm?
Chuquita: (sighs) Don't mind him, he's off in his little dream-world talking to the you in his imagination.
Goku: Oh...really?
Chuquita: O'Henry.
Goku: O-klahoma.
Chuquita: O-kay.
Goku: O-boy.
Chuquita: O-my God.
Goku: O-Canada.
Chuquita: O-ver the river and throught the woods--
Goku: --to grandmother's house we go!
Chuquita: HA! [points at him] Gotcha! You broke it, I win!
Goku: O-hhhh.
Chuquita: Don't start THAT again...

Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Hi, hello, and welcome to the newest edition of the Corner along with a brand-new story.
Vegeta: (Mr. Suspicous) I sense a pattern here.
Chuquita: (happily) [points to him] THAT YOU DO my little ouji-friend. [whips out her light-purple-clear gameboy advance]
I've got a NEW game!
Goku: (squeals) WEEE!
Vegeta: (sarcasm) ANOTHER ONE to add to that massive collection of yours.
Chuquita: (snorts) I wouldn't call 20+ "massive". (cheers up) Besides, there's something VERY SPECIAL about this game.
[flicks game on]
Goku: (grins) OOH LITTLE DIGITAL VEGGIES! [grabs the gameboy from Chu] Awwwww, look how cute-n-chibinized digital Veggie is!
Vegeta: WHAT?! (demanding) LET ME SEE!
Chuquita: (hmmphs) [takes the gameboy from Son] You both can't see it cuz it's mine...unless I let you look over my shoulder
at it.
Vegeta: (glances at the screen) Hey...that IS me.
Chuquita: Yeah, they made a couple dbz games, and since I'm not a big fan of card-games...I got the RPG!
Goku: YAY!
Chuquita: (while playing) I've heard a lot of sites complain it was slow and not really worth the money, but I like it.
Watch! If I charge up a kamehameha, when I finally zap it at somebody, you can hear Son-San yelling it. (lets go of B button)
Gameboy: Kamehameha!
Goku: (grins) COOL...(face droops) But I say the attack WHILE I'm charging it, not after. It would make no sense after.
Chuquita: A lot of stuff in this game makes no sense, but I've never been a stickler for details. There's some neat stuff in
it if you really look around. Some interesting cameos. Like Roshi's magazines have Bulma and Chi-Chi on them; the Chi-Chi you
meet up with is the one from the present time of the show, not at the beginning when this game's time occurs; the ghosts in
Hfil look like the ghosts Gotenks spits out (when you talk to them) and in the village inside one of the houses there's a
poster of Dr. Gero in the boys room.
Vegeta: Is it just me, or did she just reciprocate herself?
Chuquita: It's not "reciprocate".
Vegeta: Then what is it?
Chuquita: Uhh....(lost in thought)...OH! Contradict!
Goku: (curious) (to Veggie) Where did you get "reciprocate"??
Vegeta: (shrugs)
Chuquita: My favorite part so far is when you have to collect flowers to give to the kid to give the girl he likes to make
up for him not being able to rescue her. I nearly burst out laughing when the text message said "You picked a pretty flower",
in fact, I did burst out laughing.
Vegeta: (snickering) (mockingly) Did you pick ME any "pretty flowers", Kakarrotto?
Goku: (sweetly) Would you like some, little Veggie?
Vegeta: (face bright red) ....uh, nevermind. [leaves offstage, wide-eyed and red; then soon returns; back to his normal
state] (stiffly) There, I'm better now.
Chuquita: Actually, the kid only took one flower. I still have 4 "pretty flowers" left in my inventory. What I need them for
I'll never know.
Goku: (smiley) To give to little Veggie! (turns to Veggie) Riiiiiight?
Vegeta: (glowing red) [gets up] (quickly) Please-excuse-me-again!
Chuquita: [pushes him back in your seat] Come on Veggie! Don't get up NOW! You'll miss the fic!
Vegeta: (glances at Son; who giggles at him) [grabs Chu by the collar while still staring at the saiyajin beside him] Make
Kakay stop. AT LEAST!
Chuquita: (laughing) Aww, I think *snicker* you look cute together *HAHAHAHA*--ACK! [Veggie has her in headlock]
Vegeta: (gritting his teeth) DON'T...EVEN...JOKE LIKE THAT!!
Chuquita: (sniffs the air) (turns green) BOY your armpits SMELL!
Vegeta: (embarassed, drops her) (selfconsiously sniffs them) They smell oh-kay to me.
Goku: (happily) Yeah, Veggie smells nice. Like a *chuckle* "pretty flower".
Vegeta: (mockingly) Heh-heh-heh, that's right Kakarrot, yuk it up!
Chuquita: Anyways, today's story is a twilight-zone-ish commemoratroy called "Me Myself and I". It's humor with a tad of
confusing mellodrama.
Goku: (confused demonstrator) Who am I? Am I you? Are you me? Then who am I?
Chuquita: Exactly!
Vegeta: I don't get it.
Chuquita: Ahh, but you will! Now on with the show!
Summary: If you are me then who am I? During a sparing match Veggie spontaniously begins to wonder what it would be like if
HE were in charge of Goku's body. Not paying attention, he accidently hits Goku too hard and knocks the large saiyajin
unconsious. The slightly guilty ouji goes to bed that night only to wake up as "Kakarrot" himself! Is Goku slowly going crazy
or has Veggie's wish, out of some bizarre coincidence, been granted? And if so, who is in Veggie's real body!? Find out!
Chuquita: (smiling) In other words, when too much buddiness goes aray. (cheesy imitation) Tonight, on, the Twilight Zone.
Goku: (imitating T.Z noise) Doodoodoodoodoodoodoodooodeededeedee!
Vegeta: HUSH UP!
Goku: (big sad baby-eyes) Sorry little Veggie 'o mine.
Vegeta: (temporarily turns red; shakes it off) That's oh-kay Kakarrot. That's oh-kay...
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Take one Vegeta Oujisama. A saiyajin. A man whose sole goal in life is to defeat, crush, and overpower his one
advarsary. Obsession? Perhaps. Son Goku, a saiyajin who's order in life is about to be scrambled, along with the mind of his
'little buddy' as they take a sparring session, unawarily on the outskirts of, The Twilight Zone...
" WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! " a high-pitched, excited voice shouted as the figure disappeared from
Vegeta's sight, then seconds later appeared behind the ouji and grabbed him around the waist. The figure plummeted down
towards the hard rocky floor. Vegeta gulped, then in a panic whipped his force around causing the figure to take the blunt
of the hit as they smashed into the ground.
" OWW! VEH-GEE! That hurt! " Goku whined as he sat up, the ouji grinned at him.
" That was the plan! " Vegeta responded.
" GO-KU!!! " a voice called from the house behind them.
" Chi-chan! " Goku grinned. Vegeta smirked at the figure emerging from the house and quickly pushed the large,
sitting saiyajin back down on the ground and uncharacteristically hugged him. Goku blinked, confused.
" I just came to tell you lunch is ready and-- " Chi-Chi paused to see a baffled Goku laying there on his back with
Vegeta ontop hugging him and grinning evilly at Chi-Chi. Goku acknowledged her and waved with a big smile on his face.
Both in SSJ2 mode. Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " --WHAT IS THAT EVIL LITTLE OUJI STILL DOING HERE!!! " she exclaimed, " I thought
he left 3 HOURS ago! "
" Umm, " Goku thought outloud, " Veggie can't tell time? "
Chi-Chi glanced over at the ouji, who gave her his own cynical little wave, " ...HA! " she mock-laughed at him.
" To tell you the truth, Chi-chan, me-n-Veggie got so caught up in beating each other senseless I guess we lost track
of time. " Goku shrugged, then got up. The ouji still attached to him. He grinned and pointed to Vegeta, " In't that CUTE! "
" Yah....cute. " Chi-Chi said, glaring at Vegeta, who blew a raspberry at her.
" OOHH! YOU LITTLE!! " Chi-Chi snarled and reached for her bazooka. Vegeta yelped and took off as the duo began a
race around the Son house. Chi-Chi firing large cannon-ball shots at Vegeta, who dodged every shot.
" AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! " Vegeta laughed at her, then yelped as he felt something lift him off the ground.
" Silly Veggie! " Goku giggled at the ouji, holding him up by his boots.
" ERR! KAKARROT LET GO!! " Vegeta yelled, then froze to see Chi-Chi heading towards them, only to screech to a halt
infront of Vegeta and aim her bazooka at his head.
" Chi-chan what are you doing? " Goku asked.
" Hold him out to the side! " Chi-Chi said, aiming.
" Huh? "
" Hold him out to the side so when I blast his head off I don't take your knee with it! " Chi-Chi said, slightly more
agitated.
" "blast his head o...." AHH CHI-CHAN NO! " Goku shrieked and knocked the bazooka out of her hands, " WHAT ARE YOU
THINKING--besides, I'm still not done sparring with Veggie yet. "
Vegeta and Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" Ugh, fine. I'll DESTROY HIM _after_ we have lunch. " Chi-Chi said calmly, putting her bazooka away and re-entering
the house, " You can finish 'sparring' with him then. "
" ... " Goku looked down at the ouji he was still holding, " Can Veggie come eat with us too? "
" NO "VEGGIE" CAN'T COME EAT WITH US TOO!! " Chi-Chi screamed angrily, " You KNOW how I feel about that creature now
put him down and come inside! "
" But, but Veggie looks so hungry. " Goku said sadly.
" Yeah "Chi-chan", "Veggie"'s hungry. " Vegeta fake-pouted, rubbing his stomach.
" If he's so hungry he can go eat the grass for all I care. " Chi-Chi shook her head.
" Chi-chan! That's horrible! " Goku gawked, " Veggie's practically STARVING! " he sniffled, then turned cheerfully to
the ouji and grabbed his cheeks, " Who could possibly say no to a face like THIS! " Goku giggled. The ouji's face turned
bright red.
" Heh-heh, heheheheheh. " a goofy grin covered Vegeta's face.
" _I_ could! " Chi-Chi put her hands on her hips.
" Come on Chi-Chi, it's only for lunch. " Goku whined.
She sighed, " Alright, fine. But after that he gets his ouji-butt right back out of our home! "
" Here comes the birdy! Vroom vroom vroom! " Goku said in a maternal tone while holding a spoonful of tuna infront of
Vegeta's face. He grinned at the prince sitting next to him.
" I'm NOT eating your stupid FISH. " Vegeta snorted.
" But Veggie, it's not just ANY fish, it's TU-NAH! Good for your arteries and loaded with goodness to help little
Veggies get big and strong! " Goku moved the spoon closer to the ouji's mouth.
" I DON'T NEED ANY FISH! I'M THE STRONGEST SAIYAJIN ON THE WHOLE PLANET! " Vegeta got out of his chair and barked at
him.
" Ahh, but not the BIGGEST! " Goku pointed out, getting up and standing infront of Vegeta. He put his hand to the
top of the ouji's head; not including his hair; and moved his hand forward against himself, landing near the top of his chest
, " Yup, I've got a good foot and a half on you. "
Vegeta growled in a low tone.
" And THAT'S why you need your FISH! " he said cheerfully, then grabbed the spoonful and jammed it in Vegeta's mouth.
" Mmph...mmhh! " Vegeta's face turned puke-green as he spat the tuna out, " ECHHH! KAKARROTTO! THAT HAS GOT TO BE THE
MOST VILE-TASTING SUBSTANCE ON THE ENTIRE--ack! *gasp*-ACK-*gasp* " Vegeta suddenly started to pound on his stomach, a
hacking, wheezing sound coming from his mouth. Goku stared at him for a second, struggling for air, and then shrieked.
" MY SPOON'S GONE! " his eyes darted around the room, then instantly back to the ouji, " Oh no--VEGGIE! " Goku ran
over to the prince and grabbed him from behind, trying to heimlich the spoon out from his throat, " I've got you Veggie,
don't you worry! I'm gonna save you! " Goku said in a panicky voice, squeezing tighter but still unable to delatch the spoon,
" CHI-CHAN!! HELP ME CHI-CHAN! "
" Hmm--AHH! " Chi-Chi poked her head out of the kitchen at the two saiyajins. She darted across the room and pushed
Goku out of his heilmich manuver, " WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING! "
" Chi-chan, Veggie's CHOKING and I need to save him before he-- "
" Look at you hands! They're probably practically INFECTED with ouji-germs! Now go wash them off before you get any
in your mouth! " she said, disgusted.
" BUT VEGGIE! " Goku cried. Chi-Chi glanced over at the choking Vegeta and smacked him across the back, causing the
spoon to fly out of his mouth and into Goku's soup.
" There. He's all better. Now go clean your hands. " she said, then looked down at the hand she had used to smack
Vegeta's back, " In fact, I better go with you. "
" VEH-GEE! " Goku whined as Chi-Chi pushed him into the bathroom, " I hope he's oh-kay. "
" He's fine, now get some soap on your hands! " Chi-Chi snorted.
Vegeta, meanwhile, was hacking in pain and leaning over the table. A small blob of blood splattered onto Chi-Chi's
new tablecloth. He smirked weakly, " Take that, Onna. " the ouji peered over towards the bathroom. Chi-Chi and Goku were
both infront of the sink; Chi-Chi trying desperately to wash off any ouji-germs left on Goku's hands, " Pointless, really.
Does she have any idea how much contact we make during battles? " he snickered, then hacked again, " Hmmph, if _I_ were
Kakarrot _I'D_ tell her a thing or two. Heh-heh, yeah. He'd stand right infront of her and tell her what a witch she is and
then baby and coddle me right before the evil one and she'd die from the shock! "
" You say somethin little Veggie-chan-chan? " an innocent voice said from behind him. Vegeta froze and looked up to
see Goku staring down at him.
" Kakarrot, sit down with me. " Vegeta said, doing so himself, then motioning Goku to follow suit.
" Sure little Veggie, what do you wanna talk about? " Goku smiled at him, sitting down.
" Why don't you ever stand up to that Onna? Tell her how you really feel! " Vegeta said, a look of determination on
his face.
" Course I tell Chi-chan how I feel. I love her. " Goku blinked at him.
" I mean about not standing up to her ABOUT ME! You might have left me there to--to--throw up blood on the kitchen
table for all she cares! " Vegeta sputtered angrily.
" I'm sorry Veggie, but--the germs? "
" YOU'RE the one who has the "GERMS", Kakarrot. " Vegeta gritted his teeth.
" ...oh yeah! " Goku brightened up as Chi-Chi re-entered the room, smiled at Goku, silently glared at Vegeta, and sat
down at her spot at the table and began to eat. Vegeta soon followed, shoveling food into his mouth by the truck-full.
Goku smiled lovingly at them both, who were so busy eating they had become unaware of anyone else's presence. He took
the spoon in his soup in hand and put the soup in his mouth, " Hmm? " he swallowed a spoonful of the chicken noodle, " Tastes
like Veggie. "
Chi-Chi and Vegeta instantly paused from what they were doing. Vegeta with his mouth full and Chi-Chi about to place
another piece of turkey in her open mouth. They both slowly turned towards Goku wearing blank expressions.
Goku stared at them, " ...what? "
Chi-Chi suddenly snarled at the ouji, who had a look of dumbstruck fear on his face. They both got out of their
chairs at the same time. Chi-Chi grabbed the unusually large mallet from behind her seat and lept across the table, screaming
and swinging the mallet at Vegeta, who yanked Goku out of his seat by the wrist and dashed outside and teleported them both
back to their sparring site just as Chi-Chi made it out the front door. She roared.
" WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT "TASTES LIKE VEGGIE"!!! "
" Baka! " Vegeta grumbled as he took another swing at Goku, who tilted his head to dodge as they returned to their
match, " What on Earth possessed you TO SAY your soup, 'tastes like Veggie'! "
" Well, " Goku put his hand to block Vegeta's fist, " It smelled like you right before I put it in my mouth so I just
assumed-- "
" --OF COURSE IT SMELLED LIKE ME YOU BLOCKHEAD! IT FLEW OUT OF MY THROAT!! " Vegeta shouted, " Didn't it EVER occur
to you there was a REASON why you had a SECOND spoon? "
" ...no. "
" UGH! " Vegeta landed a punch in Goku's gut, " STUPID! Stupid stupid stupid! "
" She shouldn't have tried to hit you though. " Goku slightly tensed up, " Why can't you two just get along! " he
said sadly.
" Simple, Kakarrot. I hate her because she's a witch, and she hates me because she thinks I'm trying to steal you
away somewhere. " Vegeta explained.
" Are you? " Goku cocked an eyebrow. The ouji's face turned bright red.
" OF COURSE NOT!! " Vegeta screamed, only causing his face to glow even brighter.
Goku giggled, " Aww, Veggie loves me. "
" I said no such THING! " Vegeta sent a faster, less thought-through punch at Goku, missing him completely.
" Mmm. Silly Veggie. " Goku grinned.
::"silly". How can you call it THAT. I swear you know more than you let on, Kakarrot. But if you know so much why
won't you do something about that Onna! She's EVIL I tell you. PURE EVIL!!:: Vegeta's thoughts scurried through his head as
the battle became more intense.
" Sometimes Chi-chan's mean, but I don't think she's evil. " Goku said suddenly, interupting Vegeta's mental
conversation with himself. He searched his mind for any notice of an intruder, then shrugged it off as a coincidence.
" Do...you think _I'M_ evil? " Vegeta asked out of curiousity as he sent another kick Goku's way.
" YOU? " Goku looked astonished, then made a cheesy grin, " Aww little buddy don't be silly! Of course you're not
evil! "
" But I _WAS_ at one time... " Vegeta thought back.
" Nope! " Goku blocked another punch, " You were just misguided. You're easily misguided, Veggie. " he smiled, " Your
little Veggie-mind just can't take it all in without exaggerating or misunderstanding SOMETHING. "
" I do NOT misunderstand ANYTHING! " Vegeta snapped as they both went SSJ2 and began to battle faster, the ouji's
mind slipping off into random thoughts, ::Uck! I can feel that fish from lunch starting to rot in my stomach from all the
heat....bakayaro....he's ALWAYS a bakayaro....is it just me or is that sky orange??....DARNIT! It's GOT to be because of the
fish...I bet the EVIL ONE is just now cleaning up the kitchen, heh, I bet she found the little 'present' I left her on the
new tablecloth...she'll be furious about it and by the time Kakarrot gets back home _I'LL_ be back at MY home...44,000 miles
AWAY..... " he frowned slightly, " ...poor little Kakay...he's going to have to face that wrench's ranting again tonight
about what I did to that tablecloth....not the mention that 'soup' incident...I swear, if I were Kakarrot for even a day I'd
give her a piece of my mind...I'd stand up for myself...I'd show her a thing or two...maybe get in a good punch...yeah, right
to the jaw, right where she DESERVES it--:: he froze his thoughts as he suddenly heard two hard bones connect. Vegeta blinked
to see he had just unwittingly suckerpunched Goku across the back of his head. The large saiyajin plummeted to the ground,
unconsious.
" ... " Vegeta floated in place for a while, his hand still in a fist and his eyes gazing down at the small dot miles
below him, " ...KAKARROTTO!! " he called down at him, " GET BACK UP HERE! "
" ... " he waited for a response.
" KAKARROTTO! Err, CAN YOU HEAR ME! " Vegeta yelled, then sighed and flew down. He landed next to Goku, who was
laying on his stomach, unconsious. A large red bruise on the back of his head, " Ka--Kaka-chan? " he bent down and lifted
Goku up. He had a couple small brush-burns on his face but nothing too serious, with the exception of the wahloop Vegeta had
accidentally delievered to his head. " Come on, Kakarrotto-chan, I'll take you back home. " Vegeta said quietly, loading the
large saiyajin onto his back, " It's not too far from here. Excuse me for not teleporting back with you myself, but the last
thing I need right now is for the ONNA OF EVIL to knock yours truely unconsious as well. "
Chi-Chi stared at her wristwatch, " 7:20pm. WHERE _ARE_ THEY! " she exclaimed, worried. She leaned back against the
wall, outside on the porch. Chi-Chi looked up to see a small figure trudging up over the hill, " Goku? "
" *pant*pant*pant*. " the figure paused several feet infront of her, then smirked weakly, " Onna? "
" Ouji. " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes, then noticed the lump on his back, " OH MY GOD! " she ran over and reached to
grab Goku off Vegeta's shoulders, " What happened? " she said, worried, " Give him to me NOW! " Chi-Chi demanded.
" NO! " Vegeta snapped at her, stepping back, " You ARE crazy! He's had a blow to his head! I can't just hand him
over to you. Kakarrotto needs bedrest right now. " Vegeta snorted, walking by her. Chi-Chi followed him inside, making sure
Goku didn't slide off the ouji's back and onto the floor.
" What do you mean he had a blow to his head? " Chi-Chi said as Vegeta layed Goku down on the bed. Chi-Chi tucked the
large saiyajin in.
Vegeta slowly flipped Goku back onto his stomach and pointed to the large red bruise.
" GO-CHAN! " Chi-Chi's eyes widened with horror, " OH NO! HE'S HIT HIS SOFT SPOT! " she cried, rubbing the bruise
slightly.
" Soft spot? " Vegeta blinked, " WHAT SOFT SPOT! "
" The part of his head he hit when he fell off that cliff as a baby, REMEMBER! " Chi-Chi said, annoyed, " The reason
why he's not CREEPY AND _EVIL_ like YOU ARE! "
" Oh...Kakay... " Vegeta stared at the lump on Goku's head as on of his own started welling up in his throat, " I'm
sorry Kakay... " he said softly, reaching for the lump, only to have Chi-Chi swat his hand away before he touched it.
" DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM! HE COULD CATCH YOUR OUJI-GERMS AND THEN WHERE WOULD HE BE! OFF PLAYING SERVANT-MAID TO YOU! "
Chi-Chi screamed.
Vegeta looked past the yelling Chi-Chi at Goku and smiled, melancoly, " He will make such a wonderful servant-maid
one day... " he then turned his attention back to Chi-Chi, " That's not very nice to say to the person who just practically
saved Kakarrotto's life. " he smirked.
" Yeah, well you're probably the one who made that bruise IN THE FIRST PLACE! " Chi-Chi pointed at him.
Vegeta glanced around the room, avoiding eye-contact, " It was an accident, really. " he shrugged, then snickered,
" All I was doing was daydreaming about socking YOU in the face and my fist just took the message and socked Kakarrot
instead. "
" ...GET OUT! " Chi-Chi screamed at the top of her lungs, stunning Vegeta, " GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! GET OUT OF MY HOME!
GET OUT OR I'LL _THROW_ YOU OUT! " she shouted as she threw various objects at him as he ran out through the hallway and
towards the door. Vegeta skidded to a halt infront of the open doorway, then yelped as a huge glass vase headed his way and
slammed the door shut causing it to break into pieces on the floor. He heard the crash and then Chi-Chi screaming, muffled,
from inside.
" Ehhh, Kakarrot I don't know WHY I bother. " Vegeta said in disgust, then teleported back home.
" Vegeta? "
" ... "
" VEGETA! "
" Huh? " the ouji glanced up to see Bulma and Mirai staring at him, " What? "
" You seem a little, well, disconnected. " Bulma explained.
" What do you mean "disconnected"? " Vegeta glared at her defensively.
" She means you haven't touched your food through the whole dinner. " Mirai said, " And we've been sitting here for,
what, an hour now. " he checked his watch.
Vegeta looked around at the several large stacks of food-filled plates around him, " I'm...not really that hungry. "
he said, turning his attention back to the plate directly infront of him. He fiddled his fork through the mashed potatoes.
" HOW CAN YOU _NOT_ BE HUNGRY! YOU'RE _ALWAYS_ HUNGRY! " Bulma threw her arms in the air. Realization hit, " You did
something bad today, didn't you? " she narrowed her eyes at the prince.
" Toussan almost KILLED Son-San this afternoon! " 8 year old Trunks grinned, popping his head over onto the table
top. Vegeta sweatdropped and smacked his head away.
" I DID NOT KILL HIM!!! " he shrieked angrily, " All I did was hit him in a spot I didn't know was "fragile" and
knocked him cold. It's not MY fault. It's all that stupid Onna's doing! If she had only let Kakarrot stand up to her then I
wouldn't have gotten so mad about it! " he said more quietly and folded his arms.
" You knocked Son-kun COLD! " Bulma gasped, " With ONE BLOW?! "
" HOW WAS _I_ SUPPOSED TO KNOW HE HAD A SOFT SPOT ON HIS HEAD! NOBODY TELLS ME THESE THINGS! " Vegeta exploded,
" BESIDES! IT WASN'T EVEN THAT BIG A LUMP ANYWAY! "
" That's not what Goten told me... " Trunks trailed off, then yelped as Vegeta sent him the evil-eye, " --uhh,
GOING! " he shouted, then dashed off.
" A _LUMP_? Are you CRAZY! You could have done BRAIN DAMAGE to him! " Bulma scholded him, furious, " Can you imagine
how deep a punch that must have been with you at SSJ! "
" Actually, SSJ2. " Vegeta said disquietly, avoiding eyecontact.
" LEVEL TWO! OH MY GOD! " she stood aback, " He could end up mentally retarded or get amnesia or WORSE! "
" He's got both already if you ask me. " Vegeta couldn't help but snicker, then stopped when he noticed the look of
fury on Bulma's face.
" I'm going to take a drive down there and see what I can do to help. " Bulma got up and walked over to get her coat.
" I'm sure Kakarrotto's just fine, onna. " Vegeta sighed.
" Do YOU believe that? "
He flinched, " ...no. "
Bulma put her coat on, " Well you better start praying, for all we know you might have sent him into a coma and he'll
NEVER wake up. "
Vegeta's eyes widened, " ... "
Bulma opened the front door while she searched for her car-keys through the countless number on her keychain.
" I'm coming too. " Vegeta said suddenly.
" NO you're NOT. " she pointed at him threateningly, " You're staying right here. You've caused more than enough
trouble for one day! "
" Yeah, well if _I_ were Kakarrot I would have seen that punch coming. " the ouji nodded.
" *SLAM!* " he sweatdropped as Bulma slammed the door behind her.
" Poor Toussan, you're in trouble NOW. " Trunks grinned widely.
" YOU COME HERE YOU LITTLE-- " Vegeta snarled. Trunks yelped and ran off, the ouji chasing after him.
::Kakarrotto? KAKARROTTO!!!:: Vegeta had been laying awake in bed for almost 3 hours now, trying to telepathically
call his big buddy to check on him. He sighed, ::What's the use, it's not like he's going to even WANT to answer me even if
he's all better:: the ouji rolled his eyes and turned over in bed so that he now lay on his stomach.
" Bulma...where IS she! " he snorted, " How am I supposed to know how Kakarrot is unless she comes home to TELL ME! "
Vegeta glanced over at the clock, which now read 1:02am, " She better not be staying the night, that's for sure. " he mumbled
, then slowly closed his eyes, dozing off.
" AH-WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! "
" AHH! " Vegeta's eyes flew open as what sounded like two poor imiations of indians outside his bedroom window. He
got out of bed, still in his pajamas, and wobbled over to the window only to stare in shock. Trunks and Goten were standing
on opposite branches of the large tree outside his window wearing indian headgear and shooting arrows at one another, " WHAT
THE HECK ARE YOU DOING OUT THERE! IT'S ONE A.M YOU MORONS!! "
Trunks and Goten froze.
" Actually, Uncle Veggie, it's one o' TWO a.m. " Goten corrected him.
Vegeta growled, a vein bulging on his forehead, " I KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!! TORANKUSU! " he turned his attention to
Trunks, who gulped at the sound of his full name.
" Yes....Toussan who wouldn't mind his wonderful son staying up late in an attempt to 'destory' the 2nd 'kako-spawn'?
" Trunks gave Vegeta a cheesy grin.
" Get back in your room. " he said flatly.
" Hai. " Trunks sighed, heading towards another nearby open window.
" And give Goten your arrow set. "
" WHAT?! " Trunks gawked.
" I don't know where you got it, I don't CARE. But as long as it's in his hands I know it's less of a threat to my
night's sleep than it would be in YOURS. " Vegeta snorted.
" Awwwww. " Trunks whined, then took off his headgear and handed his bow & arrows to Goten, " See you in the morning,
Goten. " he said, depressed.
" Goodnight Trunks! " Goten said happily, then waved to Vegeta, " Goodnight Uncle Veggie! " he said, then hopped down
off the tree and flew home.
Vegeta watched him go, slightly sad to see the small Goku-look-a-like leave. He got back into bed and hugged one of
his pillows as his own eyes began to droop again, " Goodnight...Kakarrot. "
" *HONK!*HONK!*HONK!* " the obnoxiously giddy alarm clock rang. Vegeta opened his eyes slightly, glared at the little
clock, and smacked it of the counter causing it to break into a million tiny pieces once it hit the floor.
" Stupid thing. " he grumbled, then thought for a moment, " ...honk? My alarm clock doesn't 'honk'; it beeps. " he
said, confused, " Kakarrot's stupid clock is the one that HONKS. " Vegeta's eyes shot open and he sat up in bed, " ...oh...
Kami... " he froze, realizing where he was, " I'M IN KAKARROT'S ROOM!! " Vegeta shrieked, " How did I get here... " he
murmured, then turned bright red, " And how did I get in his bed... " he blushed like mad. An idea hit him, " Of COURSE!
Kakarrot's better again and he decided to surprise me by bringing me here and---no. " he shook his head, " That makes no
sense. " Vegeta tapped the side of his cheek with his fingers. One of his spiky bangs fell infront of his face and he pushed
it away with his hand, then paused, " "spikey bangs"...I don't have bangs. " Vegeta reached up for where his unusually large
widow's peak was and panicked when it wasn't there. He lept out of bed to find something even more startling, " AHH! I'm--I'm
TALL! " Vegeta gasped, " ...wow the air IS thin up here. " he walked around the room for a bit, " Something's not right
around here. " Vegeta then looked down and instantly recognized that what he was looking down at was not his body, " WAHHH!!
THE BIG HANDS! THE BANGS! THE SNAZZY BOXER SHORTS! THE TREMENDOUS HEIGHT! IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW! " he dashed infront of the
full length mirror. Vegeta's jaw hung to his knees to see Goku's reflection staring back at him, " --but, but it can't be.
I, I can't be. I'm....KAKARROT!! "

END OF PART ONE
Chuquita: DAH NA NA! So! What do you think? Did Veggie get his "If I were Kakarrot for a day" wish or did the blow to Goku's
head knock some of his brains out along with the blood?
Goku: I don't know.
Chuquita: (grins) Good choice! That's what I picked too!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) You're the AUTHOR, you're SUPPOSED to know what's going on behind the scenes!
Chuquita: (narrows her eyes) You want me to whip out the Big Book of Author Spells on you? Cuz I'll do it!
Vegeta: (quickly) NO!
Chuquita: I'll change you into something you wouldn't want to be changed into at all.
Goku: (happily) Like my pet!
Chuquita: Son-San you don't have a pet.
Goku: You could change Veggie into one.
Chuquita: (smirks at Veggie) Would you LIKE to be Son-San's "pet", Veggie?
Vegeta: NO! NEVER NEVER NEVER!
Goku: Aww Veggie, come on. It would be fun. I'd give you bubblebaths and you can wear a shiney new collar with your name on
it and I can teach you tricks and you can have your own little spot to curl up at the end of my bed at night!
Vegeta: (glowing red) ...
Chuquita: (cocks an eyebrow) Getting a little 'lonely', Son?
Goku: (pouts) Chi-chan won't let me have a pet.
Chuquita: Awww, poor baby...[holds up her gameboy] I finished the game by the way.
Vegeta: WHAT! YOU WEREN'T EVEN HALFWAY THROUGH WHEN WE STARTED THIS STORY!!!
Chuquita: Well, yeah, but that was 4 days ago. [points upward] I got this game on Friday....it only took me six days to beat
it...shame, I was hoping it would last longer...or at least have a couple minigames.
Goku: (grins) Like "Blast the Veggie"!
Vegeta: (gawks) KAKARROT! (sniffles) How could you!
Goku: (sweetly) Aww, I apologize sweet little buddy 'o mine. [pats Vegeta on the head and smiles]
Vegeta: (glances up to see several pink flowers now in his hair) (sweatdrops) Don't say it, let me guess, those are--
Goku: --pretty flowers!
Vegeta: (glows red again) ....right.
Chuquita: I DID enjoy playing the game though. But there ARE several things I would add. 1)Level hop after you beat the game,
2) Play as different characters (I would LOVE to play as Veggie), 3)At least SHOW your opponents health points so you know
how much longer it will take to beat him, 4)Better music, 5)Give the video clip at the end of the game the actual sound
dialogue, and 6) Be able to ride the kinto'un/nimbus whenever you want.
Goku: That wasn't several things that was six thi--
Chuquita: --HUSH!
Vegeta: (giggling; busy admiring himself in a nearby hand-mirror; still wearing the "pretty flowers" in his hair) They ARE
pretty, aren't they Kakay?
Goku: (not paying attention) Hmm?
Chuquita: (sighs) Don't mind him, he's off in his little dream-world talking to the you in his imagination.
Goku: Oh...really?
Chuquita: O'Henry.
Goku: O-klahoma.
Chuquita: O-kay.
Goku: O-boy.
Chuquita: O-my God.
Goku: O-Canada.
Chuquita: O-ver the river and throught the woods--
Goku: --to grandmother's house we go!
Chuquita: HA! [points at him] Gotcha! You broke it, I win!
Goku: O-hhhh.
Chuquita: Don't start THAT again...
