Quote of the week: -from "Sherman's Lagoon"
Fillmore: Sherman, how could you eat these synchronized poodle swimmers,
look at them. The grace... The Beauty...
Sherman: The ketchup.
Fillmore: Tap the bottle, it's low.
Chuey's Corner: Yes I know none of the flying monkeys accompanied Dorothy&Co
to OZ, but I missed ol Veggie-chan.
Summary: Singing Nameks? Flying monkeys? Chi-Chi the
"Wicked Witch of the West"? The Son home is right in
the path of a tornado & sends Gohan & Hiyah Dragon on
an unwanted trip to the land of OZ. How will they get
home? Who will they meet? And where did Freeza get ruby
slippers?
*************************************************************************************************
" I can't believe what I'm doing. " a very dumbfounded Vegeta said outloud as he followed
Gohan-tachi through the woods.
" Ooh, look guys, a squrrel! " Goku shouted happily as he put out his hand and the small
rodent-creature jumped onto it, " Hi little squrrelly.. " Goku wiggled his fingers, then put his
mouth over the squrrel & swallowed it whole.
" FATHER!!! I mean, SCARECROW!!!! " Gohan shouted, " WHAT DID THAT POOR THING DO TO YOU!"
" Nothin, I'm just hungry. " Goku shrugged.
" Well you CAN'T just go around EATING the wildlife around here! " Gohan retorted.
" You're absolutely right! " Goku nodded, " Besides, I wouldn't have any room left for
the fish the wizard's gonna give me! Right tummy? " he said, looking down at his stomach.
" Baka. You're barbearic. " Vegeta grumbled.
" Actually, that's "barbARic". " Piccolo pointed out as Vegeta looked up at him & hissed.
" I WASN'T ASKING YOU! " he shouted, then folded his arms.
" Muh, maybe we should go back. " Kuririn said as he grabbed onto Gohan's arm, " How
about it? I mean, you don't ACTUALLY think we can get the witch's broom away from her, do you? "
" OF COURSE WE CAN! " Goku shouted excitedly, " Besides, if we chicken out, I won't
get my _FISH_ " he grinned. Piccolo, now leading the group, grumbled slightly, then stopped in
his tracks and looked up.
" Monkeys... " he narrowed his eyes as a herd of flying monkeys came swooping down out of
the witch's tower, " ALL OF YOU, GET OUT OF THE WAY! " Piccolo shouted at them.
Vegeta looked upward at the other flying monkeys, then felt his back were his wings had
been and frowned, sighing.
" COME _ON_ LITTLE MONKEY!!! " Goku yelled at Vegeta, grabbing his arm & pulling him
behind the brush and setting him down. Goku backed up and ran out again, this time after Gohan.
" HHOHH HOH HUHH!! " Gohan shouted as he continued to fight off the flying monkeys. Goku
stood there staring at the scene, dumbfounded.
" Whoa. " he said in awe as Gohan sent ki blasts in all directions, frying the monkeys to
a crisp.
" HEY GOHAN! " he shouted, " I WANNA HELP TOO!! "
" Wha? " Gohan turned his head to the right, " WAAUGH! GOKU GET DOWN!!! " he cried, then
slipped and fell as one of the monkeys smacked him upside the jaw and flew towards Goku as
several other groups of the flying creatures attacked him from the back, pulling his straw out
from everywhere.
" GOKU!! " Gohan cried, then looked up to see a large flying monkey, who whacked him
across the back of the head, causing him to black out.
" ARRRR!!! " Piccolo screamed as he ran towards the monkeys as one of them grabbed a
watering can & tossed it at the tin namek, causing him to rust in his tracks.
Kuririn gulped as he peeked out from behind a tree, " Oh man, this isn't good! " he
shivered, then felt a tap on his back & turned around to see the large monkey from before staring
at him with a psychotic grin on his face. Kuririn screamed in a high-pitched voice & began to
run as fast as he could go, " That's strange. " he said, looking around, " I'm runnin but I'm
not getting anywhe--uh oh. " Kuririn glanced over his shoulder to see the monkey holding the
lion's tail in his grip. Kuririn turned a pale white, then fainted. The monkey put him under
his arm & flew off, along with about half of the other monkeys, who were carrying Gohan, Hiyah,
Goku along with the clumps of straw they had torn out of him, and the rusted Piccolo.
" HAHAHA! Bakayaros! " Vegeta laughed as he watched the others become smaller & smaller
until he couldn't see how far away they were anymore. Vegeta put his hands on his hips &
snickered to himself, then turned the other way & walked a couple steps, then opened his eyes to
see a small army of the flying monkeys smirking at him, " Heh. " Vegeta sweatdropped, then jumped
into the air, only to fall back down again. He looked at his back, then smacked himself on the
forehead, " Kuso! Next time I see that baka Blenda I'll--OOFA! " he yelped as several of the
monkeys pounced him and pummelled him repeatedly, then picked him up & flew him off as well.
The near unconsious Vegeta narrowed his eyes angrily, " This, is going to be one of those
days, isn't it. "
" Yup, this is defenately one of those days. " Vegeta grumbled as he sat next to the
rest of Gohan-tachi. Gohan continued to pour oil back into the rusted namek, Goku was busy
stuffing his straw back in his body, and Hiyah continued to yawn tiredly, scaring Kuririn out of
his wits each time he did so.
" He, he, he's gonna eat me! " Kuririn gulped, rushing behind Goku.
" Oh he is not. " Goku explained, " Besides, if I get hungry I'll eat him first. "
" NO YOU WON'T!!! " Gohan cried, then turned to the front of the room, an evil, familiar
snicker could be heard from behind a chair at a desk, the back of the chair turned towards them.
" So, my pretty, " the voice said in the dangerous tone Gohan had only heard before
being forced to study, " I have FINALLY found you. " the voice cackled maniacally as the chair
turned around to reveal the witch of the west, Chi-Chi.
" Uhh-- " Gohan was at a loss for words as the witched walked up to him and the group,
who began to quiver.
" It looks like I shall get my ruby slippers--err, sneakers, after all. " Chi-Chi
grinned evilly.
" I WON'T LET YOU HAVE THEM! " Gohan shouted as the witch snapped her fingers, a lit
match now appearing in her right hand and a smirk on her face.
" We'll just see about that. " she said as two of the huge monkey guards held Gohan back
while the witch walked over to Goku, " Getting a little, _hot_ in here for you scarecrow? " she
chuckled as she held the lighted match up to Goku's face. Goku swallowed hard.
" I'm not afraid of you! " he shouted as the witch tossed the match at him, causing him
to burst into flames.
" NOOOO!!! " Gohan screamed as Goku began to run about the room frantically. Chi-Chi
shook her head, then pointed to one of the flying monkeys, " Put him out and put him in a cell. "
" CELL! WHERE! I'LL SLICE HIM TO RIBBONS! " Mirai Trunks shouted as he appeared out of
nowhere and swung his sword about.
" A _JAIL_ cell. " Chi-Chi folded her arms.
Mirai looked around, embarassed, " Uh, sorry, heh-heh. " he said, then disappeared again.
Gohan stared, confused, " Who the heck was that?! "
" Frankly, my pretty, I have no idea. " Chi-Chi said, equally baffled, " NOW! Tin Man. "
she said as she snapped her fingers again, causing a small rain cloud to appear over Piccolo's
head.
" NO! YOU CAN'T RUST MR. PICCOLO! " Gohan cried desprately, " HE'S MY FRIEND!!! "
" GIVE ME THE SLIPPERS! " the witch demanded.
" NEVER! " Gohan yelled back.
" Very well then. " Chi-Chi snapped her fingers again, causing a downpour of rain to
drench Piccolo, turning his tin body to rust.
" PICCOLOOOOO!!!! " Gohan felt tears welling up in his eyes, he narrowed them at the
witch, " HOW COULD YOU! "
" The SLIPPERS little boy. " the witch held out her hand as Gohan growled at her,
turning her attention to the lion.
" Oh lion? " Chi-Chi smirked as Kuririn shrieked and zipped across the room, jumped up
onto the door & twisted the locked doorknob viciously while Chi-Chi continued to walk towards him
, " Lion... " she snickered from 3 inches behind Kuririn. The balding lion turned back to see
Chi-Chi, causing his fur to turn a ghostly white, " Hello my pretty. " Chi-Chi cackled as
Kuririn's eyes rolled back in his head. Kuririn backed up, then fainted, " TAKE HIM TO A _jail_
CELL ALSO, ALONG WITH THAT RUSTBUCKET!! " she shouted as two more of the monkeys carried Piccolo
& Kuririn off.
" And YOU, " Chi-Chi pointed at Gohan, " have a SPECIAL job. " she sneered as the monkeys
set Gohan down and shoved a mop against him, " You, my pretty, are to clean the ENTIRE DUNGON,
then I shall decide what to do with you. " she smirked at Gohan, who looked down at the mop &
bucket before him, then smiled, " Gosh, for a second there I thought you were gonna make me
study! " he said as the witch raised an eyebrow, then kicked the boy in the tuckis.
" GET TO WORK!! "
" Oh, look at all this dust! " Gohan groaned as he continued to mop the floor, " Doesn't
anyone ever clean up around here! " he grumbled, then bolted up, " Oh my God, I just quoted
my mother! WAA! " Gohan yelped, dropping the mop.
" You missed a spot. " a smirking Vegeta said as Gohan looked up to see the wingless
monkey-creature sitting in a small birdcage hanging from a hook on the ceiling.
" OH SHUT UP! " Gohan shouted, " I'm almost convinced you ARE Vegeta. " he said as he
picked up the mop and began to clean the floor again.
" Are you comparing ME to a vegetable!? " the monkey-creature said, aggrivated & confused
at the same time.
" No, not vegetaBLE Ve--oh forget it. " Gohan sighed, " I'll never see him or my friends
or my family ever again thanks to you. "
" ME! WHAT DID I DO! " Vegeta said, shocked.
" You could've warned us that the witch was sending in more troops for us, or at least
help us find a way into the castle without her knowing, you DO live here, don't you? " Gohan
said as he dunked the mop in the bucket of water again.
" Why should _I_ help YOU! " he folded his arms.
" Because maybe if you had we would've be trapped here right now. " Gohan said calmly,
then looked to his right to see the three cells his friends were in. The now completely rusted
Piccolo along with an unconcious Kuririn and Goku.
" And how are things coming along down here hmm? " the witch snickered as she walked
down the stairs towards Gohan. Vegeta looked upward and noticed the rope tieing his cage to the
hook was slowly tearing; he gulped nervously.
" Why, you aren't anywhere NEAR finished! " the witch gasped, " GET TO WORK RIGHT NOW
BOY! " she screamed as she grabbed Gohan's mop and threw it to the ground next to the bucket.
" But I, I've been working for HOURS! " Gohan cried.
" Oh, does your little fingers hurt, well TOO BAD! LOOK AT THIS FLOOR IT ISN'T EVEN
WET! " the witch shouted as Vegeta's cage came crashing down and landed on the witch's foot.
Chi-Chi screamed at the top of her lungs as Gohan grabbed the bucket of water & flung it at her.
" WELL NOW _YOU_ ARE!!! " Gohan hmmphed, then noticed something peculiar, the witch
looked as if she was liquifying.
" I'M MELTING, MELTING! What a world, what a world! " Chi-Chi cried as she began to melt
onto the floor, then burst into song, " What a world what a world, what a horrible world, what
a terrible sight to behold, it's a shame, it's a shame, just a horrible shame, that my story will
never be told-- " her voice blubbered as the last of her melted.
Gohan put his hands behind his head, " In fairytales maybe... "
Vegeta climbed out of his now broken cage, " Wow, you, you did it. I'M GOING TO GET
MY WISH AFTER ALL! " he grinned, blushing.
Gohan raised an eyebrow at the monkey-creature, " Uh, yeah. " he looked up, " WE HAVE
TO GET EVERYONE OUT OF THEIR CELLS, but how? " he said as the strange, purple-haired boy from
before reappeared.
" CELL! WHERE! " he looked about angrily, holding the sword above his head.
Gohan smiled sneakily, " He's in those ce--cages! GO GET 'UM! "
" YAHH! " Mirai shouted as he sliced the doors to the three cages into chinese-takeout
size. Mirai Trunks looked around, confused, " Strange, I don't see him, AHA! He MUST BE UPSTAIRS!
" he shouted as he ran up the stairs & swung his sword about at the flying monkeys, all of whom
ran, shrieking, out of the castle.
" Ya know he looked awefully familiar. " Vegeta nodded as Gohan sweatdropped.
" Well, that doesn't matter right now, we have to save the others. You wake up Hiyah, he
can fly you, Kuririn, and Piccolo out of here, I'll take Da--uh, Goku out of here. " Gohan said,
then noticed a broom in the corner of the room.
" I still don't know why you keep calling me & those bakas those strange names. You call
that one Goku, but he's not a monkey, and you call him Piccolo and he doesn't resemble any
flute I've ever seen. " a slightly baffled Vegeta said as he walked over to Hiyah & gulped.
" It's the BROOM! " Gohan smiled as he stared at the object in the corner & grabbed it,
" I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! WE'RE REALLY GONNA GET OUR WISHES AFTER ALL! I'll get to go home and see
Daddy again! " he sniffled.
Vegeta poked the sleeping purple dragon, " Wake up you blasted creature or I'll make a
suitcase outta you! " he said as Hiyah lazily opened one eye. Vegeta shrieked & zipped out of the
cell, then poked his head around the corner. Hiyah got up & stretched, then scratched his back,
making his way out of the cell.
" _I_ woke your beast up boy! " Vegeta smirked as he crossed his arms. Gohan rolled his
eyes, Goku on his back and the broom in his hand. Hiyah bent down as the wingless monkey placed
Piccolo & Kuririn onto it's back, then jumped on himself.
" Okay Hiyah, you ready to go home! " Gohan said excitedly.
" Rrra RRA! " Hiyah grinned.
" Alright then! " Gohan flew up into the air, " LET'S GO! "
" MR. WIZARD MR. WIZARD!!!! " Goku shouted happily as he & the other's rushed into the
wizard's chamber, " WE FOUND YOU'RE BROOM! AND WE KILLED THE EVIL WITCH!! "
" You, you DID?! " the wizard said, surprised.
" Uh-huh! " Goku nodded, " Now can I finally get my _BIG FISH_! "
" And muh, my courage? "
" My heart? "
" My family? "
" NO! " the wizard retorted as the group grew silent.
Goku's eyes watered, " But, but I want my fisshhhhh... " he sniffled.
" Buh, but we did what you asked! "
" I knew this was to good to be true. "
" BUT I NEED TO GET HOME! "
" The all mighty Wizard of Z does as he will! " the wizard shouted as everyone except
Piccolo burst into tears.
" Rrr. " Hiyah narrowed his eyes at a small green cubbyhole hidden by a green curtain,
walked over to it and pulled it aside, " Rra Rra?! "
The figure looked over his shoulder & gulped, " Puh, Pay NO attention to that man behind
the curtain! " he shouted through a microphone in front of him causing the wizard to mouth the
same words. Gohan rubbed his eyes and stared at the figure.
" Mr, Mr BRIEFS?! " Gohan said, shocked.
" Guh, GOHAN? "
" IT _IS_ YOU! " Gohan said happily as he ran up to the doctor, " FINALY SOMEONE WHO
KNOWS ME!!! " he grinned. Gohan's face fell, " But, that means that, that there IS no wizard. "
" I'm afraid so young man. " Mr. Briefs sighed, " A short while ago I was testing out a
my new nucle-airballoon, it's a hot-air balloon propelled by nuclear power, anyway, I was going
to test it out and got caught in a tornado, the next thing I knew I was stranded here without
any idea how to get home. The people here took me in. Amazed and astounded by the techonology I
had they appointed me to this job. I suppose they've never seen a cell-phone before, they assumed
it was some kind of magic I guess. "
" So, you don't know how to get out of here either huh. " Gohan said sadly.
" I'm sorry Gohan. " Mr. Briefs sighed.
" By the way, what did you want THIS for anyway? " Gohan said, holding out the broom,
" Does it hold some sort of magical powers? "
" Powers? " Mr. Briefs stared at Gohan for a moment, " No my boy, I just needed it to
dust the floor around here, you won't believe how dirty it is. " he said as Gohan fell down
animé style.
" YOU MEAN YOU SENT ME HEAD-ON INTO DANGER TO FIGHT DEADLY BEASTS AND AN EVIL WITCH JUST
SO YOU COULD CLEAN THE FLOOR!! " Gohan's mouth dropped to the ground, " I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! "
" Well, I assumed since you ARE related to Goku that you could easily defeat them. "
Mr. Briefs glanced the other way.
" Ohhhh... " Gohan groaned.
" But, but what about my _FISH_ mister? " Goku said, " And Piccolo's heart, and Kuririn's
courage, and my _FISH_. "
Mr. Briefs smiled and pulled out a large bag and reached into it, " I think I just may
have what you're looking for. For you, scarcrow, a big "_FISH_". " he said, pulling an enormous,
smelly mackeral out of the small bag and handing it to Goku grinned, grabbed the fish & bit a
huge chunk out of it.
" For you, Tinamek, a heart. " Mr. Briefs said, handing Piccolo a magnet in the shape of
the heart.
Piccolo looked down at the magnet in his hands, " What a rip. "
" And for you, Lion, couarge. " Mr. Briefs pulled out one of those large foam hands with
an "I'm number 1#" painted on it in white letters.
" Whoa! " Kuririn gasped, " WOW! " he said, putting the large foam hand on his left hand
& swinging it about, causing it to smack into Mr. Briefs, knocking him senseless, " I CAN DESTROY
MY ENEMIES WITH A WAVE OF MY HAND! " he grinned, " I'll NEVER get beaten up again! "
" Umm, yes, of course. " Mr. Briefs rubbed his head as he got up.
" WHAT ABOUT _MY_ WISHES!! " Vegeta shouted, " I WANT POWER! I WANT TO RULE OVER THESE
PEASANTS! "
" Hmm? " Mr. Briefs said, " Well, I don't know if I can grant you that power, but-- " he
said, pulling a crown out of the bag, " You CAN have this if you wa-- "
" MINE! " he screamed, grabbing the crown & placing it on his head. Vegeta looked at
himself in the reflectant walls of the chamber & smiled, " I've always wanted to know how it
feels to be royalty and possess POWER. "
" You are royalty remember. " Gohan said as the monkey-creature stared at him peculiarly.
" What ARE you talking about? " Vegeta said as Gohan perked up & slapped himself on the
forehead.
" Sorry, I confused you with someone else for a second there. " Gohan sweatdropped.
" How many other royal monkey-creatures do you know? " Piccolo said sarcastically as he
cocked an eyebrow.
" Umm, one actually. " Gohan answered.
" Oh. "
" Say Mr. Monkey, what about your other wish? The _special_ one. " Goku said, smiling
evilly at Vegeta.
" Uhh.. "
" I bet you want Blenda to-- "
" SHUT-UP-SHUT-UP-SHUT-UP!!! " Vegeta screamed, waving his arms about frantically, his
face a light red.
" --give you your wings back. " Goku finished as Vegeta's body went limp. Goku stared at
him, " What did you think I was gonna say? "
" Uhh, " Vegeta said, glancing around, " LOOK! FISH! " he shouted as he pointed across
the room to the fish Goku had been given.
" WHERE WHERE WHERE! "
" THERE! "
" FISH!!!! " Goku screamed gleefully as he ran headlong & tackled the humongous stinky
fish & began to chew on it.
" *whew* " Vegeta wiped the sweat off his brow.
" Umm, Mr. Briefs, do you have anything in that bag for, me? " Gohan asked meekly.
" Ahh, Gohan, let's see what we have for you here... " Mr. Briefs said, feeling around
in his bag, then peeked in it, " Oops. "
" Oops? " Gohan said nervously.
" Oh, I'm sorry Gohan, there's nothing left. " he said, showing Gohan the empty bag,
" But, if you want the bag I-- "
" --no thank you Mr. Briefs. " Gohan said as he hung his head.
" Aww, poor little guy. " Goku said sadly as small chunks of fish guts flew out of his
mouth, " Do you wanna share my _FISH_ with me? " he said, spitting out a blob of fish & holding
it out to Gohan in his hand.
Gohan cringed, " Err, no thank you. "
Mr. Briefs thought for a moment, then glanced at Goku's straw hat, " Excuse me,
Scarecrow, can I see your hat for a second? "
" Sure! " Goku smiled, holding his hat out.
" Why do you want his hat for Mr. Briefs? " Gohan asked.
" Because my boy, I think this could help get us out of here... "
" So, howsit look! "
" Pretty good, actually. " Gohan said as they stared at Mr. Briefs' nucle-airballoon,
the hole in the balloon patched up with the material from Goku's straw hat as they stood in the
middle of the "munchkin" village.
" So, I guess this is it huh. " Kuririn said to Gohan, " You're finally going home. "
Gohan smiled, " Yeah, I'm FINALLY getting to go home. "
" WAHHHHHHHHH!!!! " Goku wailed, then grabbed Gohan & squeezed him, " I'LL MISS YOU
BUDDY!!! "
" Don't worry Goku, it's..okay. " Gohan said, his face turning blue from lack of oxygen,
" I'm sure I'll see you again real soon. "
" REALLY!? " Goku grinned, " OH BOY! "
" Or at least someone who looks a lot like you. " Gohan chuckled under his breath.
" Goodbye kid. " Piccolo said in a stern voice. Gohan smiled, ran up to the tinamek &
hugged him.
" I'll miss you too Mr. Piccolo! " he sighed.
Piccolo's lifeless face, overcome with shock, smiled widely.
" Aww, it looks like Piccolo got his heart after all. " Goku awwed as Vegeta made several
puking noises.
" Come on Gohan, Hiyah, let's go. " Mr. Briefs said as he climbed into the large basket
at the bottom of the balloon.
" Okay. " Gohan said, hopping in along with the purple dragon-creature.
The nameks and others watched as the balloon slowly float into the air. The four nameks
from before looked upward and broke into song.
" Goodbye! "
" Goodbye! "
" We now must say goodbye! "
" You're floating upward! "
" Far away!
" Upward into the sky! "
" Errr... " Hiyah growled, aggrivated, then leaped out of the balloon and ran towards
the namek quartet, who ran for the hills, shrieking.
" HIYAH! " Gohan screamed as the dragon continued to chase the nameks about, " I HAVE TO
SAVE HIM! " he shouted as he leaned over the side of the basket.
" NO GOHAN! " Mr. Briefs shouted, " We're already on our way up, there's no stopping
now! "
" BUT I HAVE TO SAVE HIYAH! " Gohan yelled, then leaped over the side and plummeted
downward and ran over to Hiyah, " HIYAH! "
" Rrrah! " Hiyah turned his attention towards Gohan and ran over to his friend, licking
him on the face.
" Hahaha, come on, cut it out! " Gohan laughed, " We have to get back into the, OH NO! "
he gasped, looking upward at Mr. Briefs' balloon, which was currently miles above them, " MR.
BRIEFS!! "
" GOODBYE GOHAN! " Mr. Briefs called up from inside the nucle-airballoon, " GOODBYE
HIYAH! "
" MR. BRIEFS! WAIT! WAAAAAIT! " Gohan screamed, waving his arms about as the doctor
soared out of view. Gohan stared in shock, then dropped to his knees, " no. "
" Don't worry Gohan, it's okay. " Goku said, patting Gohan on the back, " You can stay
here with us. "
" But, but my family. " Gohan cried.
" Well, I guess we could be a family. " Kuririn said nervously.
" But I miss MY family! " Gohan sniffled, " I'll never see them again! I worked so hard,
for nothing. "
" Don't be so sure. " a familiar voice said as a large pink bubble appeared, then
popped to reveal--
" BLENDA! " Gohan said as Vegeta whipped around to see the north witch in front of him.
" Gohan, you had the power to go home anytime you wished. " she smiled calmly.
" WHAT! " Gohan's jaw dropped to the floor, " WHAT DO YOU MEAN I COULD'VE GONE HOME
ANYTIME I WANTED?! "
" Why, those ruby sneakers of yours could've taken you home, they're very powerful and
have the abilities to transport the wearer anywhere they please. " Blenda pointed out.
" IF YOU KNEW THAT THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME BEFORE YOU SENT ME OFF TO THE WIZARD!!! "
Gohan screamed as Vegeta burst into laughter.
" Well, you didn't ask. " Blenda smirked, " That, and it would've destoryed the whole
plotline. "
" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! " Vegeta laughed, " One of the many reasons I like her, HAHAHA, oh that
was so cruel it was priceless! "
A large grin engulfed Goku's face. He glanced down at the short monkey-creature, " MONKEY
LIKES BLENDA! " he shrieked happily, " I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT! " he jumped up and down
like an idiot.
" Wha, WHAT! " Vegeta yelped, then looked to the scarecrow & tackled him, " HOW DARE YOU
SAY SUCH LIES! YOU BAKA! "
" Why dontcha give her a kiss? " Goku whispered, trying to keep from snickering at
the now red-faced Vegeta.
" Are you MAD! " the monkey-creature gasped in shock.
" I bet you don't know how to. " he whispered back.
" OH YEAH! " Vegeta lept to his feet, " I'LL SHOW YOU! " he walked over to Blenda & gave
her a peck on the cheek. Blenda looked down in shock at Vegeta, then narrowed her eyes.
" YOU SMELLY LITTLE PRIMATE I'LL TURN YOU INTO A FROG FOR THAT! " Blenda screamed as
Vegeta ran off, screaming, Blenda hot on his trail while Goku continued to gaffal at the top of
his lungs.
" It looks like Mr. Monkey got his second wish after all. " Goku grinned evilly, " I
can't wait to see the kids. "
" Somehow, " Piccolo said as he watched a furious Blenda chase Vegeta around in a
circle, " I don't think that's going to happen. "
" So, I guess THIS is really it. " Kuririn said as Gohan looked down at his sneakers,
then grabbed Hiyah's hand.
" Umm-hmm. " he nodded, " Well, here I go. " he said, then gulped, " There's no place
like home, *click*, there's no place like home, *click*, there's no place like... "
" ...Gohan? Gohan wake up! " a voice called from the darkness as Gohan slowly opened his
eyes.
" Muh, WAAUGH!!! " Gohan screamed, face to face with his mother, " IT'S THE WITCH!! "
" WHAT?! " Chi-Chi gasped as Goku burst into laughter, then recieved a blow across the
top of his head by the almighty frying-pan.
" Uhu, " Gohan looked around, " Wha, where am I? "
" You're in your room, baka. " Vegeta rolled his eyes.
" There was a tornado that passed through, it just missed us. But as it was going by,
your case of encyclopedias fell down of their case & knocked you unconsious. " Kuririn explained.
" It, it was a dream! " Gohan said, dazed, " And you were there. " he pointed at Goku,
then at Chi-Chi, Piccolo, Kuririn, Vegeta, & Bulma, " And you, and you, and you, and you, and you
too! "
" Chi-Chi, who's this You guy? " Goku said, confused as everyone sweatdropped.
" Goku, he's talking about all of us. " Bulma whispered.
" Well then, why didn't he say so in the first place! " Goku exclaimed as the group
sweatdropped again.
" I guess I better get going. " Bulma said, " Dad's nucle-airballoon's caught in your
tree outside and I've got to get him down. " she said, then turned to Vegeta, " You coming? "
" The sooner I get out of this baka-infested establishment the better. There're Kakorot
germs all over the place. " Vegeta said, disqusted as he watched the various flys flying around
Goku.
" Goku, how long has it been since you bathed anyway? " Bulma asked, suspicous.
" 'Bout a couple weeks. I'm goin for a record. " Goku grinned, " Come on, I'll show you
guys out, k? "
" Fine, whatever. " Vegeta grumbled as he, Goku, Bulma, Kuririn, & Piccolo left the room.
" Gohan, I'm glad you're feeling better. " Chi-Chi said as Gohan smiled weakly.
" Gee Mom, thanks. " Gohan said.
" Good. " Chi-Chi smiled, " NOW GET BACK TO WORK! You have algebra to study. " she said,
shoving a math book in Gohan's face.
Gohan looked down at the book in disappointment, then looked to his left to see a glass
of water on his desktop, grabbed it, and through it at Chi-Chi, who whipped around in the doorway
and looked at her son in shock.
" GOHAN! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?! " she gasped.
" Dang, it didn't work. " Gohan said to himself, " Huh, oh, I'm sorry Mom! " he smiled as
a confused Chi-Chi left the room & closed the door behind her.
Gohan sighed, " I knew it was to good to be true. " he hopped out of bed, looked down at
his feet and gasped, for he was wearing a pair of ruby sneakers. Gohan blinked twice, shocked,
" Or...was it? "

look at them. The grace... The Beauty...
Sherman: The ketchup.
Fillmore: Tap the bottle, it's low.
Chuey's Corner: Yes I know none of the flying monkeys accompanied Dorothy&Co

"Wicked Witch of the West"? The Son home is right in
the path of a tornado & sends Gohan & Hiyah Dragon on
an unwanted trip to the land of OZ. How will they get

slippers?

" I can't believe what I'm doing. " a very dumbfounded Vegeta said outloud as he followed
Gohan-tachi through the woods.
" Ooh, look guys, a squrrel! " Goku shouted happily as he put out his hand and the small
rodent-creature jumped onto it, " Hi little squrrelly.. " Goku wiggled his fingers, then put his
mouth over the squrrel & swallowed it whole.
" FATHER!!! I mean, SCARECROW!!!! " Gohan shouted, " WHAT DID THAT POOR THING DO TO YOU!"
" Nothin, I'm just hungry. " Goku shrugged.
" Well you CAN'T just go around EATING the wildlife around here! " Gohan retorted.
" You're absolutely right! " Goku nodded, " Besides, I wouldn't have any room left for
the fish the wizard's gonna give me! Right tummy? " he said, looking down at his stomach.
" Baka. You're barbearic. " Vegeta grumbled.
" Actually, that's "barbARic". " Piccolo pointed out as Vegeta looked up at him & hissed.
" I WASN'T ASKING YOU! " he shouted, then folded his arms.
" Muh, maybe we should go back. " Kuririn said as he grabbed onto Gohan's arm, " How
about it? I mean, you don't ACTUALLY think we can get the witch's broom away from her, do you? "
" OF COURSE WE CAN! " Goku shouted excitedly, " Besides, if we chicken out, I won't
get my _FISH_ " he grinned. Piccolo, now leading the group, grumbled slightly, then stopped in
his tracks and looked up.
" Monkeys... " he narrowed his eyes as a herd of flying monkeys came swooping down out of
the witch's tower, " ALL OF YOU, GET OUT OF THE WAY! " Piccolo shouted at them.
Vegeta looked upward at the other flying monkeys, then felt his back were his wings had
been and frowned, sighing.
" COME _ON_ LITTLE MONKEY!!! " Goku yelled at Vegeta, grabbing his arm & pulling him
behind the brush and setting him down. Goku backed up and ran out again, this time after Gohan.
" HHOHH HOH HUHH!! " Gohan shouted as he continued to fight off the flying monkeys. Goku
stood there staring at the scene, dumbfounded.
" Whoa. " he said in awe as Gohan sent ki blasts in all directions, frying the monkeys to
a crisp.
" HEY GOHAN! " he shouted, " I WANNA HELP TOO!! "
" Wha? " Gohan turned his head to the right, " WAAUGH! GOKU GET DOWN!!! " he cried, then
slipped and fell as one of the monkeys smacked him upside the jaw and flew towards Goku as
several other groups of the flying creatures attacked him from the back, pulling his straw out
from everywhere.
" GOKU!! " Gohan cried, then looked up to see a large flying monkey, who whacked him
across the back of the head, causing him to black out.
" ARRRR!!! " Piccolo screamed as he ran towards the monkeys as one of them grabbed a
watering can & tossed it at the tin namek, causing him to rust in his tracks.
Kuririn gulped as he peeked out from behind a tree, " Oh man, this isn't good! " he
shivered, then felt a tap on his back & turned around to see the large monkey from before staring
at him with a psychotic grin on his face. Kuririn screamed in a high-pitched voice & began to
run as fast as he could go, " That's strange. " he said, looking around, " I'm runnin but I'm
not getting anywhe--uh oh. " Kuririn glanced over his shoulder to see the monkey holding the
lion's tail in his grip. Kuririn turned a pale white, then fainted. The monkey put him under
his arm & flew off, along with about half of the other monkeys, who were carrying Gohan, Hiyah,
Goku along with the clumps of straw they had torn out of him, and the rusted Piccolo.
" HAHAHA! Bakayaros! " Vegeta laughed as he watched the others become smaller & smaller
until he couldn't see how far away they were anymore. Vegeta put his hands on his hips &
snickered to himself, then turned the other way & walked a couple steps, then opened his eyes to
see a small army of the flying monkeys smirking at him, " Heh. " Vegeta sweatdropped, then jumped
into the air, only to fall back down again. He looked at his back, then smacked himself on the
forehead, " Kuso! Next time I see that baka Blenda I'll--OOFA! " he yelped as several of the
monkeys pounced him and pummelled him repeatedly, then picked him up & flew him off as well.
The near unconsious Vegeta narrowed his eyes angrily, " This, is going to be one of those
days, isn't it. "
" Yup, this is defenately one of those days. " Vegeta grumbled as he sat next to the
rest of Gohan-tachi. Gohan continued to pour oil back into the rusted namek, Goku was busy
stuffing his straw back in his body, and Hiyah continued to yawn tiredly, scaring Kuririn out of
his wits each time he did so.
" He, he, he's gonna eat me! " Kuririn gulped, rushing behind Goku.
" Oh he is not. " Goku explained, " Besides, if I get hungry I'll eat him first. "
" NO YOU WON'T!!! " Gohan cried, then turned to the front of the room, an evil, familiar
snicker could be heard from behind a chair at a desk, the back of the chair turned towards them.
" So, my pretty, " the voice said in the dangerous tone Gohan had only heard before
being forced to study, " I have FINALLY found you. " the voice cackled maniacally as the chair
turned around to reveal the witch of the west, Chi-Chi.
" Uhh-- " Gohan was at a loss for words as the witched walked up to him and the group,
who began to quiver.
" It looks like I shall get my ruby slippers--err, sneakers, after all. " Chi-Chi
grinned evilly.
" I WON'T LET YOU HAVE THEM! " Gohan shouted as the witch snapped her fingers, a lit
match now appearing in her right hand and a smirk on her face.
" We'll just see about that. " she said as two of the huge monkey guards held Gohan back
while the witch walked over to Goku, " Getting a little, _hot_ in here for you scarecrow? " she
chuckled as she held the lighted match up to Goku's face. Goku swallowed hard.
" I'm not afraid of you! " he shouted as the witch tossed the match at him, causing him
to burst into flames.
" NOOOO!!! " Gohan screamed as Goku began to run about the room frantically. Chi-Chi
shook her head, then pointed to one of the flying monkeys, " Put him out and put him in a cell. "
" CELL! WHERE! I'LL SLICE HIM TO RIBBONS! " Mirai Trunks shouted as he appeared out of
nowhere and swung his sword about.
" A _JAIL_ cell. " Chi-Chi folded her arms.
Mirai looked around, embarassed, " Uh, sorry, heh-heh. " he said, then disappeared again.
Gohan stared, confused, " Who the heck was that?! "
" Frankly, my pretty, I have no idea. " Chi-Chi said, equally baffled, " NOW! Tin Man. "
she said as she snapped her fingers again, causing a small rain cloud to appear over Piccolo's
head.
" NO! YOU CAN'T RUST MR. PICCOLO! " Gohan cried desprately, " HE'S MY FRIEND!!! "
" GIVE ME THE SLIPPERS! " the witch demanded.
" NEVER! " Gohan yelled back.
" Very well then. " Chi-Chi snapped her fingers again, causing a downpour of rain to
drench Piccolo, turning his tin body to rust.
" PICCOLOOOOO!!!! " Gohan felt tears welling up in his eyes, he narrowed them at the
witch, " HOW COULD YOU! "
" The SLIPPERS little boy. " the witch held out her hand as Gohan growled at her,
turning her attention to the lion.
" Oh lion? " Chi-Chi smirked as Kuririn shrieked and zipped across the room, jumped up
onto the door & twisted the locked doorknob viciously while Chi-Chi continued to walk towards him
, " Lion... " she snickered from 3 inches behind Kuririn. The balding lion turned back to see
Chi-Chi, causing his fur to turn a ghostly white, " Hello my pretty. " Chi-Chi cackled as
Kuririn's eyes rolled back in his head. Kuririn backed up, then fainted, " TAKE HIM TO A _jail_
CELL ALSO, ALONG WITH THAT RUSTBUCKET!! " she shouted as two more of the monkeys carried Piccolo
& Kuririn off.
" And YOU, " Chi-Chi pointed at Gohan, " have a SPECIAL job. " she sneered as the monkeys
set Gohan down and shoved a mop against him, " You, my pretty, are to clean the ENTIRE DUNGON,
then I shall decide what to do with you. " she smirked at Gohan, who looked down at the mop &
bucket before him, then smiled, " Gosh, for a second there I thought you were gonna make me
study! " he said as the witch raised an eyebrow, then kicked the boy in the tuckis.
" GET TO WORK!! "
" Oh, look at all this dust! " Gohan groaned as he continued to mop the floor, " Doesn't
anyone ever clean up around here! " he grumbled, then bolted up, " Oh my God, I just quoted
my mother! WAA! " Gohan yelped, dropping the mop.
" You missed a spot. " a smirking Vegeta said as Gohan looked up to see the wingless
monkey-creature sitting in a small birdcage hanging from a hook on the ceiling.
" OH SHUT UP! " Gohan shouted, " I'm almost convinced you ARE Vegeta. " he said as he
picked up the mop and began to clean the floor again.
" Are you comparing ME to a vegetable!? " the monkey-creature said, aggrivated & confused
at the same time.
" No, not vegetaBLE Ve--oh forget it. " Gohan sighed, " I'll never see him or my friends
or my family ever again thanks to you. "
" ME! WHAT DID I DO! " Vegeta said, shocked.
" You could've warned us that the witch was sending in more troops for us, or at least
help us find a way into the castle without her knowing, you DO live here, don't you? " Gohan
said as he dunked the mop in the bucket of water again.
" Why should _I_ help YOU! " he folded his arms.
" Because maybe if you had we would've be trapped here right now. " Gohan said calmly,
then looked to his right to see the three cells his friends were in. The now completely rusted
Piccolo along with an unconcious Kuririn and Goku.
" And how are things coming along down here hmm? " the witch snickered as she walked
down the stairs towards Gohan. Vegeta looked upward and noticed the rope tieing his cage to the
hook was slowly tearing; he gulped nervously.
" Why, you aren't anywhere NEAR finished! " the witch gasped, " GET TO WORK RIGHT NOW
BOY! " she screamed as she grabbed Gohan's mop and threw it to the ground next to the bucket.
" But I, I've been working for HOURS! " Gohan cried.
" Oh, does your little fingers hurt, well TOO BAD! LOOK AT THIS FLOOR IT ISN'T EVEN
WET! " the witch shouted as Vegeta's cage came crashing down and landed on the witch's foot.
Chi-Chi screamed at the top of her lungs as Gohan grabbed the bucket of water & flung it at her.
" WELL NOW _YOU_ ARE!!! " Gohan hmmphed, then noticed something peculiar, the witch
looked as if she was liquifying.
" I'M MELTING, MELTING! What a world, what a world! " Chi-Chi cried as she began to melt
onto the floor, then burst into song, " What a world what a world, what a horrible world, what
a terrible sight to behold, it's a shame, it's a shame, just a horrible shame, that my story will
never be told-- " her voice blubbered as the last of her melted.
Gohan put his hands behind his head, " In fairytales maybe... "
Vegeta climbed out of his now broken cage, " Wow, you, you did it. I'M GOING TO GET
MY WISH AFTER ALL! " he grinned, blushing.
Gohan raised an eyebrow at the monkey-creature, " Uh, yeah. " he looked up, " WE HAVE
TO GET EVERYONE OUT OF THEIR CELLS, but how? " he said as the strange, purple-haired boy from
before reappeared.
" CELL! WHERE! " he looked about angrily, holding the sword above his head.
Gohan smiled sneakily, " He's in those ce--cages! GO GET 'UM! "
" YAHH! " Mirai shouted as he sliced the doors to the three cages into chinese-takeout
size. Mirai Trunks looked around, confused, " Strange, I don't see him, AHA! He MUST BE UPSTAIRS!
" he shouted as he ran up the stairs & swung his sword about at the flying monkeys, all of whom
ran, shrieking, out of the castle.
" Ya know he looked awefully familiar. " Vegeta nodded as Gohan sweatdropped.
" Well, that doesn't matter right now, we have to save the others. You wake up Hiyah, he
can fly you, Kuririn, and Piccolo out of here, I'll take Da--uh, Goku out of here. " Gohan said,
then noticed a broom in the corner of the room.
" I still don't know why you keep calling me & those bakas those strange names. You call
that one Goku, but he's not a monkey, and you call him Piccolo and he doesn't resemble any
flute I've ever seen. " a slightly baffled Vegeta said as he walked over to Hiyah & gulped.
" It's the BROOM! " Gohan smiled as he stared at the object in the corner & grabbed it,
" I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! WE'RE REALLY GONNA GET OUR WISHES AFTER ALL! I'll get to go home and see
Daddy again! " he sniffled.
Vegeta poked the sleeping purple dragon, " Wake up you blasted creature or I'll make a
suitcase outta you! " he said as Hiyah lazily opened one eye. Vegeta shrieked & zipped out of the
cell, then poked his head around the corner. Hiyah got up & stretched, then scratched his back,
making his way out of the cell.
" _I_ woke your beast up boy! " Vegeta smirked as he crossed his arms. Gohan rolled his
eyes, Goku on his back and the broom in his hand. Hiyah bent down as the wingless monkey placed
Piccolo & Kuririn onto it's back, then jumped on himself.
" Okay Hiyah, you ready to go home! " Gohan said excitedly.
" Rrra RRA! " Hiyah grinned.
" Alright then! " Gohan flew up into the air, " LET'S GO! "
" MR. WIZARD MR. WIZARD!!!! " Goku shouted happily as he & the other's rushed into the
wizard's chamber, " WE FOUND YOU'RE BROOM! AND WE KILLED THE EVIL WITCH!! "
" You, you DID?! " the wizard said, surprised.
" Uh-huh! " Goku nodded, " Now can I finally get my _BIG FISH_! "
" And muh, my courage? "
" My heart? "
" My family? "
" NO! " the wizard retorted as the group grew silent.
Goku's eyes watered, " But, but I want my fisshhhhh... " he sniffled.
" Buh, but we did what you asked! "
" I knew this was to good to be true. "
" BUT I NEED TO GET HOME! "
" The all mighty Wizard of Z does as he will! " the wizard shouted as everyone except
Piccolo burst into tears.
" Rrr. " Hiyah narrowed his eyes at a small green cubbyhole hidden by a green curtain,
walked over to it and pulled it aside, " Rra Rra?! "
The figure looked over his shoulder & gulped, " Puh, Pay NO attention to that man behind
the curtain! " he shouted through a microphone in front of him causing the wizard to mouth the
same words. Gohan rubbed his eyes and stared at the figure.
" Mr, Mr BRIEFS?! " Gohan said, shocked.
" Guh, GOHAN? "
" IT _IS_ YOU! " Gohan said happily as he ran up to the doctor, " FINALY SOMEONE WHO
KNOWS ME!!! " he grinned. Gohan's face fell, " But, that means that, that there IS no wizard. "
" I'm afraid so young man. " Mr. Briefs sighed, " A short while ago I was testing out a
my new nucle-airballoon, it's a hot-air balloon propelled by nuclear power, anyway, I was going
to test it out and got caught in a tornado, the next thing I knew I was stranded here without
any idea how to get home. The people here took me in. Amazed and astounded by the techonology I
had they appointed me to this job. I suppose they've never seen a cell-phone before, they assumed
it was some kind of magic I guess. "
" So, you don't know how to get out of here either huh. " Gohan said sadly.
" I'm sorry Gohan. " Mr. Briefs sighed.
" By the way, what did you want THIS for anyway? " Gohan said, holding out the broom,
" Does it hold some sort of magical powers? "
" Powers? " Mr. Briefs stared at Gohan for a moment, " No my boy, I just needed it to
dust the floor around here, you won't believe how dirty it is. " he said as Gohan fell down
animé style.
" YOU MEAN YOU SENT ME HEAD-ON INTO DANGER TO FIGHT DEADLY BEASTS AND AN EVIL WITCH JUST
SO YOU COULD CLEAN THE FLOOR!! " Gohan's mouth dropped to the ground, " I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! "
" Well, I assumed since you ARE related to Goku that you could easily defeat them. "
Mr. Briefs glanced the other way.
" Ohhhh... " Gohan groaned.
" But, but what about my _FISH_ mister? " Goku said, " And Piccolo's heart, and Kuririn's
courage, and my _FISH_. "
Mr. Briefs smiled and pulled out a large bag and reached into it, " I think I just may
have what you're looking for. For you, scarcrow, a big "_FISH_". " he said, pulling an enormous,
smelly mackeral out of the small bag and handing it to Goku grinned, grabbed the fish & bit a
huge chunk out of it.
" For you, Tinamek, a heart. " Mr. Briefs said, handing Piccolo a magnet in the shape of
the heart.
Piccolo looked down at the magnet in his hands, " What a rip. "
" And for you, Lion, couarge. " Mr. Briefs pulled out one of those large foam hands with
an "I'm number 1#" painted on it in white letters.
" Whoa! " Kuririn gasped, " WOW! " he said, putting the large foam hand on his left hand
& swinging it about, causing it to smack into Mr. Briefs, knocking him senseless, " I CAN DESTROY
MY ENEMIES WITH A WAVE OF MY HAND! " he grinned, " I'll NEVER get beaten up again! "
" Umm, yes, of course. " Mr. Briefs rubbed his head as he got up.
" WHAT ABOUT _MY_ WISHES!! " Vegeta shouted, " I WANT POWER! I WANT TO RULE OVER THESE
PEASANTS! "
" Hmm? " Mr. Briefs said, " Well, I don't know if I can grant you that power, but-- " he
said, pulling a crown out of the bag, " You CAN have this if you wa-- "
" MINE! " he screamed, grabbing the crown & placing it on his head. Vegeta looked at
himself in the reflectant walls of the chamber & smiled, " I've always wanted to know how it
feels to be royalty and possess POWER. "
" You are royalty remember. " Gohan said as the monkey-creature stared at him peculiarly.
" What ARE you talking about? " Vegeta said as Gohan perked up & slapped himself on the
forehead.
" Sorry, I confused you with someone else for a second there. " Gohan sweatdropped.
" How many other royal monkey-creatures do you know? " Piccolo said sarcastically as he
cocked an eyebrow.
" Umm, one actually. " Gohan answered.
" Oh. "
" Say Mr. Monkey, what about your other wish? The _special_ one. " Goku said, smiling
evilly at Vegeta.
" Uhh.. "
" I bet you want Blenda to-- "
" SHUT-UP-SHUT-UP-SHUT-UP!!! " Vegeta screamed, waving his arms about frantically, his
face a light red.
" --give you your wings back. " Goku finished as Vegeta's body went limp. Goku stared at
him, " What did you think I was gonna say? "
" Uhh, " Vegeta said, glancing around, " LOOK! FISH! " he shouted as he pointed across
the room to the fish Goku had been given.
" WHERE WHERE WHERE! "
" THERE! "
" FISH!!!! " Goku screamed gleefully as he ran headlong & tackled the humongous stinky
fish & began to chew on it.
" *whew* " Vegeta wiped the sweat off his brow.
" Umm, Mr. Briefs, do you have anything in that bag for, me? " Gohan asked meekly.
" Ahh, Gohan, let's see what we have for you here... " Mr. Briefs said, feeling around
in his bag, then peeked in it, " Oops. "
" Oops? " Gohan said nervously.
" Oh, I'm sorry Gohan, there's nothing left. " he said, showing Gohan the empty bag,
" But, if you want the bag I-- "
" --no thank you Mr. Briefs. " Gohan said as he hung his head.
" Aww, poor little guy. " Goku said sadly as small chunks of fish guts flew out of his
mouth, " Do you wanna share my _FISH_ with me? " he said, spitting out a blob of fish & holding
it out to Gohan in his hand.
Gohan cringed, " Err, no thank you. "
Mr. Briefs thought for a moment, then glanced at Goku's straw hat, " Excuse me,
Scarecrow, can I see your hat for a second? "
" Sure! " Goku smiled, holding his hat out.
" Why do you want his hat for Mr. Briefs? " Gohan asked.
" Because my boy, I think this could help get us out of here... "
" So, howsit look! "
" Pretty good, actually. " Gohan said as they stared at Mr. Briefs' nucle-airballoon,
the hole in the balloon patched up with the material from Goku's straw hat as they stood in the
middle of the "munchkin" village.
" So, I guess this is it huh. " Kuririn said to Gohan, " You're finally going home. "
Gohan smiled, " Yeah, I'm FINALLY getting to go home. "
" WAHHHHHHHHH!!!! " Goku wailed, then grabbed Gohan & squeezed him, " I'LL MISS YOU
BUDDY!!! "
" Don't worry Goku, it's..okay. " Gohan said, his face turning blue from lack of oxygen,
" I'm sure I'll see you again real soon. "
" REALLY!? " Goku grinned, " OH BOY! "
" Or at least someone who looks a lot like you. " Gohan chuckled under his breath.
" Goodbye kid. " Piccolo said in a stern voice. Gohan smiled, ran up to the tinamek &
hugged him.
" I'll miss you too Mr. Piccolo! " he sighed.
Piccolo's lifeless face, overcome with shock, smiled widely.
" Aww, it looks like Piccolo got his heart after all. " Goku awwed as Vegeta made several
puking noises.
" Come on Gohan, Hiyah, let's go. " Mr. Briefs said as he climbed into the large basket
at the bottom of the balloon.
" Okay. " Gohan said, hopping in along with the purple dragon-creature.
The nameks and others watched as the balloon slowly float into the air. The four nameks
from before looked upward and broke into song.
" Goodbye! "
" Goodbye! "
" We now must say goodbye! "
" You're floating upward! "
" Far away!
" Upward into the sky! "
" Errr... " Hiyah growled, aggrivated, then leaped out of the balloon and ran towards
the namek quartet, who ran for the hills, shrieking.
" HIYAH! " Gohan screamed as the dragon continued to chase the nameks about, " I HAVE TO
SAVE HIM! " he shouted as he leaned over the side of the basket.
" NO GOHAN! " Mr. Briefs shouted, " We're already on our way up, there's no stopping
now! "
" BUT I HAVE TO SAVE HIYAH! " Gohan yelled, then leaped over the side and plummeted
downward and ran over to Hiyah, " HIYAH! "
" Rrrah! " Hiyah turned his attention towards Gohan and ran over to his friend, licking
him on the face.
" Hahaha, come on, cut it out! " Gohan laughed, " We have to get back into the, OH NO! "
he gasped, looking upward at Mr. Briefs' balloon, which was currently miles above them, " MR.
BRIEFS!! "
" GOODBYE GOHAN! " Mr. Briefs called up from inside the nucle-airballoon, " GOODBYE
HIYAH! "
" MR. BRIEFS! WAIT! WAAAAAIT! " Gohan screamed, waving his arms about as the doctor
soared out of view. Gohan stared in shock, then dropped to his knees, " no. "
" Don't worry Gohan, it's okay. " Goku said, patting Gohan on the back, " You can stay
here with us. "
" But, but my family. " Gohan cried.
" Well, I guess we could be a family. " Kuririn said nervously.
" But I miss MY family! " Gohan sniffled, " I'll never see them again! I worked so hard,
for nothing. "
" Don't be so sure. " a familiar voice said as a large pink bubble appeared, then
popped to reveal--
" BLENDA! " Gohan said as Vegeta whipped around to see the north witch in front of him.
" Gohan, you had the power to go home anytime you wished. " she smiled calmly.
" WHAT! " Gohan's jaw dropped to the floor, " WHAT DO YOU MEAN I COULD'VE GONE HOME
ANYTIME I WANTED?! "
" Why, those ruby sneakers of yours could've taken you home, they're very powerful and
have the abilities to transport the wearer anywhere they please. " Blenda pointed out.
" IF YOU KNEW THAT THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME BEFORE YOU SENT ME OFF TO THE WIZARD!!! "
Gohan screamed as Vegeta burst into laughter.
" Well, you didn't ask. " Blenda smirked, " That, and it would've destoryed the whole
plotline. "
" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! " Vegeta laughed, " One of the many reasons I like her, HAHAHA, oh that
was so cruel it was priceless! "
A large grin engulfed Goku's face. He glanced down at the short monkey-creature, " MONKEY
LIKES BLENDA! " he shrieked happily, " I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT! " he jumped up and down
like an idiot.
" Wha, WHAT! " Vegeta yelped, then looked to the scarecrow & tackled him, " HOW DARE YOU
SAY SUCH LIES! YOU BAKA! "
" Why dontcha give her a kiss? " Goku whispered, trying to keep from snickering at
the now red-faced Vegeta.
" Are you MAD! " the monkey-creature gasped in shock.
" I bet you don't know how to. " he whispered back.
" OH YEAH! " Vegeta lept to his feet, " I'LL SHOW YOU! " he walked over to Blenda & gave
her a peck on the cheek. Blenda looked down in shock at Vegeta, then narrowed her eyes.
" YOU SMELLY LITTLE PRIMATE I'LL TURN YOU INTO A FROG FOR THAT! " Blenda screamed as
Vegeta ran off, screaming, Blenda hot on his trail while Goku continued to gaffal at the top of
his lungs.
" It looks like Mr. Monkey got his second wish after all. " Goku grinned evilly, " I
can't wait to see the kids. "
" Somehow, " Piccolo said as he watched a furious Blenda chase Vegeta around in a
circle, " I don't think that's going to happen. "
" So, I guess THIS is really it. " Kuririn said as Gohan looked down at his sneakers,
then grabbed Hiyah's hand.
" Umm-hmm. " he nodded, " Well, here I go. " he said, then gulped, " There's no place
like home, *click*, there's no place like home, *click*, there's no place like... "
" ...Gohan? Gohan wake up! " a voice called from the darkness as Gohan slowly opened his
eyes.
" Muh, WAAUGH!!! " Gohan screamed, face to face with his mother, " IT'S THE WITCH!! "
" WHAT?! " Chi-Chi gasped as Goku burst into laughter, then recieved a blow across the
top of his head by the almighty frying-pan.
" Uhu, " Gohan looked around, " Wha, where am I? "
" You're in your room, baka. " Vegeta rolled his eyes.
" There was a tornado that passed through, it just missed us. But as it was going by,
your case of encyclopedias fell down of their case & knocked you unconsious. " Kuririn explained.
" It, it was a dream! " Gohan said, dazed, " And you were there. " he pointed at Goku,
then at Chi-Chi, Piccolo, Kuririn, Vegeta, & Bulma, " And you, and you, and you, and you, and you
too! "
" Chi-Chi, who's this You guy? " Goku said, confused as everyone sweatdropped.
" Goku, he's talking about all of us. " Bulma whispered.
" Well then, why didn't he say so in the first place! " Goku exclaimed as the group
sweatdropped again.
" I guess I better get going. " Bulma said, " Dad's nucle-airballoon's caught in your
tree outside and I've got to get him down. " she said, then turned to Vegeta, " You coming? "
" The sooner I get out of this baka-infested establishment the better. There're Kakorot
germs all over the place. " Vegeta said, disqusted as he watched the various flys flying around
Goku.
" Goku, how long has it been since you bathed anyway? " Bulma asked, suspicous.
" 'Bout a couple weeks. I'm goin for a record. " Goku grinned, " Come on, I'll show you
guys out, k? "
" Fine, whatever. " Vegeta grumbled as he, Goku, Bulma, Kuririn, & Piccolo left the room.
" Gohan, I'm glad you're feeling better. " Chi-Chi said as Gohan smiled weakly.
" Gee Mom, thanks. " Gohan said.
" Good. " Chi-Chi smiled, " NOW GET BACK TO WORK! You have algebra to study. " she said,
shoving a math book in Gohan's face.
Gohan looked down at the book in disappointment, then looked to his left to see a glass
of water on his desktop, grabbed it, and through it at Chi-Chi, who whipped around in the doorway
and looked at her son in shock.
" GOHAN! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?! " she gasped.
" Dang, it didn't work. " Gohan said to himself, " Huh, oh, I'm sorry Mom! " he smiled as
a confused Chi-Chi left the room & closed the door behind her.
Gohan sighed, " I knew it was to good to be true. " he hopped out of bed, looked down at
his feet and gasped, for he was wearing a pair of ruby sneakers. Gohan blinked twice, shocked,
" Or...was it? "
