Quote of the Week: "I'll squash you like a pancake...and I like my pancakes very flat." -Veggie
Chuey's Corner:
Vegeta: AND covered in a delicious syrup/presevative-like topping.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Good for you Veggie. I'd like to welcome everyone to a special fan-requested Corner! Last fic I asked
reviewers to give ideas on what we should do in the next Corner. Eventually I'll try to get to them all. But today we have
the winner, or winners depending on how you look at it. Gie said I should have Veggie and Son-San do various dances like
the tango; Veggie with a rose in his mouth; and the funky chicken while in a seperate review Maria S. gave me a funny idea
of our two saiyajin friends having to tango together and...well, [pulls out her camera] Son-San'll fill you in on the rest
of that one when the time comes.
Vegeta: Where IS Kakarrotto anyway?
Chuquita: (shrugs) Beats me.....what are you WEARING?
Vegeta: [looks down at his frilly pink shirt and hawaiian shorts] Don't ask me, it was Kakarrot's idea. (snorts)
Chuquita: (cocks an eyebrow) (not totally convinced) Really?
Vegeta: ...well oh-kay maybe he only thought up the shorts--THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME BEING CREATIVE YOU KNOW!! [tugs
at his shirt]
Chuquita: I guess if that's what you wanna call it.
Vegeta: (suspicious) OH, and what would YOU call it?
Chuquita: I'd call it getting a little TOO into this exotic dance thing.
Vegeta: There is NOTHING exotic about the Funky Chicken, Chu.
Chuquita: (chuckles)
Vegeta: What?
Chuquita: I'm trying to imagine that dance being "exotic".
Vegeta: (anxiously looks over to his left at Son's empty seat, then at the door leading into the Corner) (whining) ERRRR,
KAKARROTTO!!! WHERE ARE YOU!
[Chu & Veggie freeze as the disco ball lights from the last Corner along with the latin American dance music appear in the
room]
Vegeta: (turns a pale white) (panickly sinks down in his chair) Why did I ask? WHY DID I ASK!!
Chuquita: Well, we're about to get an answer. [door flings open]
[figure steps into the room clacking castinettes in its hands]
Chuquita: (gawks) What the heck?!...
Vegeta: (slams his head down on the desk) I can't look! (glowing bright red)
Chuquita: Why are you glowing already! You haven't even SEEN anything??
Vegeta: (groans) It's a premonition! A premonition of EMBARASSING HUMILIATING ACTS TO COME!!
[Son giggles as he walks up to the desk and stands infront of his chair, grinning cheesily]
Chuquita: (jaw hangs open in shock)
Vegeta: (w/head still on desk) Quick! Tell me what he's wearing--no wait! DON'T tell me what he's wearing!
Chuquita: (mumbles) You'd never believe it.
Vegeta: [opens his eyes and turns his head to the left] What do you mean I wouldn't believe i--AAAAAHHHHHHH!!! [falls over
in his chair] WAHHH! [gets up, grabbing the top of the desk] Ka--Ka--Ka--KAKARROTTO!!?
Goku: (Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky) Hi Veggie! [wearing a red and black strapless spanish ballgownish dress w/several roses in hair]
Hi Chu-sama!
Chuquita: (slaps herself on the forehead) I won't even ask.
Goku: [snaps the castenettes in his hands at her ears]
Chuquita: AHH! (grabs her ears in pain) (shouting) WHAT WAS THAT FOR!!!
Goku: (cheerfully) To signify it is now TANGO TIME!! (clacks castenettes) AI YAI YAI!!
Chuquita: (seriously) [points to castenettes] Oh-kay, give me those.
Goku: Why? *CLACK* *CLACK*
Chuquita: Because it's really REALLY REALLY loud.
Goku: Just like ME! (grins)
Chuquita: (rubs her ears) Yeah, but that hurt! JUST GIVE ME THE CASTENETTES!!!
Goku: Well, alright Chu-sama. (giggles) I can't dance with them anyway. [hands her the castenettes]
Chuquita: (takes a good look at him and bursts out laughing) HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Goku: What's so funny?
Chuquita: YOU! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh Son-kun where did you GET that ridiculous outfit!
Goku: Veggie.
Chuquita: ...
Goku: ...
Chuquita: (snickers) Heh-heh. Heh-heh-heh.
Goku: (also snickers) Heeheehee.
Both: AH-HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!
Chuquita: (stifling chuckles) Oh Son that's a good one. Really, who'd you get that from?
Goku: (also stifling chuckles) Veggie.
Chuquita: ... [turns to Veggie] Hey Veggie?
Vegeta: [from under the table] I'm not here.
Chuquita: Veggie!
Vegeta: He's not under this table, now go away!
Chuquita: (annoyed) Vedge will you get out from under there and take a look at Son-San here!
Vegeta: ...no.
Goku: [lifts the desk up off the ground to reveal nothing] (blinks) Little Veggie where did you go?
Chuquita: [points to Veggie who is clutched against the underside of the desk] Veggie did you tell Son-kun to wear this
thing? [points to Son's costume]
Vegeta: (looks at Goku) KAKARROTTO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THAT HORRIFIC OUTFIT!
Goku: (confused) But, but you told me to--
Vegeta: I DID NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING! NOW GO CHANGE BACK INTO WHATEVER IT IS YOU NORMALLY WEAR!
Goku: But, but, but,--OHHHHHHHHHHHHH I AM SO CONFUSED!!! [holds the sides of his head] VEGGIE MAKE UP YOUR MIND!! [shakes
his fist in the air] (pouts) [sitting back in his chair] Veggie buys me this funny-looking outfit and then when I finally get
here he tells me not to wear it!....my head hurts.
Chuquita: [grabs two sombaros] Mine too. [puts one of the sombaros on] (smiles) Here Son-San. It'll make you feel better!
Goku: [puts his sombaro on] (grins up at it) Ooh! I feel better already!
Vegeta: (Mr. Pouty-Pants) What about me?
Chuquita: (smirks) You confused Son-San so no big hats for you.
Vegeta: AWWW! (snorts)
Chuquita: Our fic today conserns those well-known little "cooties" that have been living on Son-kun here since the beginning
of time.
Goku: Or as Veggie calls um, "Kako-germs" [picks something off the top of his head and shows it off to the audiance] Ain't
they CUTE!
Chuquita: About as cute as a little green dot could be. (scratches her head)
Vegeta: (blinks) I don't see anything.
Kako-germ: (squeals) VEGGIE! [flies onto his head]
Vegeta: (screams) AHHHHH!!!
Summary: Vegeta actually proves Goku's so called kako-germs really exist. When the little creatures realize who's watching
them they spring for a new home on the saiyajin prince. How will Veggie get rid of them? What happens when he decides to
NOT get rid of them? Will Goku be germ-less forever? Based on a comic strip I wrote.
Vegeta: (rubbing his head) AAUGH! GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!!
Goku: (whistles) Here boy! Come to Mommy!
Kako-germ: WHEE! [jumps back onto Goku's head]
Vegeta: (panting; still in a panic)
Chuquita: On with the show!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Ahhh! " Vegeta said happily as he stepped out of the bathroom; a towel around his waist and a similar one on his
head, " Nothing is more wonderful then the feeling of cleansing the body of all the disgusting Earth diseases around it. "
he smiled as he walked towards his room, then paused, " I wonder how long THIS one's gonna last. " he said flatly, then
opened the door to his room only to shriek in horror as a giant mudball came flying at him, knocking him to the ground and
completely drenching him in muck.
" HI VEGGIE!! " Goku grinned at him, the stench of rotting fish reeking from his mouth.
" KAKARROTTO!!! " Vegeta screamed angrily, " DO YOU KNOW WHAT I JUST CAME FROM DOING!!! "
" ... " Goku looked up, deep in thought, " Nooooooooooooo. " he said, then let out a giggle, " You smell really nice
though. "
The ouji's face turned bright red, " I do?....I mean, OF COURSE I SMELL NICE YOU BAKA! " he snorted, pushing the
larger saiyajin off of him, " At least I did until you pounced on me and covered my body in your third-class Kako-filth! "
Goku looked down at his muddy body, " It's not filth Veggie, this is how I always look after I mud-wrestle fishies. "
" Is THAT what you were doing? " Vegeta grumbled, standing up.
" Yeah. I went fishing early this morning and I caught a whole bunch of little ones-- "
" --and little to you would be... "
" The 4 footers. "
Vegeta nearly choked on his own spit, " FOUR--ugh, continue, Kakarrot. "
" Thank you little Veggie. " Goku smiled pleasantly at him, " Now where was I...oh yeah! I ate all those little ones
and got so full I could barely move, but then I spot this HUGE SIX-FOOT FISH doing backflips in the river, right? It took
me a while to wrestle him to the ground, but I caught him. Well, by the time I finally DID finish him off I remembered my
stomach was full. Now I couldn't waste a perfectly good fish like that so I thought "now who do I know that would like a
yummy fish for breakfast, hmm?". "
" And you thought of me. " Vegeta said flatly.
" Yup! " the larger saiyajin said proudly. Vegeta looked down to see a trail of mud seeping out the bottom of his
bedroom door.
" Kakarrot what's that? "
" What's what? "
" THAT! That trail of...Kakarrot move. "
" NO! " Goku yelped.
" Why not. "
" Well, I, uh, maybe I like standing right here. " Goku laughed nervously.
" In front of my doorway. " Vegeta said skeptically.
" Yes. "
" Hmm... " Vegeta rubbed his chin, trying to figure out how to get the bigger saiyajin to move. He smirked, " You
wouldn't be KEEPING something from your little buddy, would you Kaka-chan? " he fake-sniffled.
" No Veggie! I'd never keep ANYTHING from you! " Goku shook his head, worried.
" Then why don't you move your large body so I can get in my bedroom!!!! " Vegeta shouted.
" Well...oh-kay. " Goku gulped, " But-you-gotta-promise-not-to-get-mad-at-me! " he said quickly.
" Yeah yeah, I promise. " Vegeta grumbled as he walked past Goku and into his room. He screamed at the sight before
him. Vegeta's room was now covered in mud, slop, and grass. The giant fish Goku had described to him was laying sideways on
the ouji's bed. The prince's jaw dropped to the floor, " AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
" Wow Veggie, I'm so happy you're not mad at me! " Goku said cheerfully as they walked down the stairs from Vegeta's
room and headed towards the lab.
" Kakarrot if I didn't need you so much I would have killed you right then and there. " Vegeta said, obviously trying
to keep his temper under control.
" Awwwwwww! Veggie NEEDS me! " Goku clasped his hands together, then giggled. Vegeta's face started to glow again,
but he quickly shook it off, " It's a good thing your old "Bad Man" shirt didn't get all muddy. "
" Yes, it figures. In an ironic twist that this happened to be the ONLY shirt I own that DIDN'T get covered in your
GOO. " Vegeta cringed at the bright pink golf shirt he was wearing. A pair of blue and white vertical striped boxers of his
had also been salvaged, " You're lucky Bulma has those cleaning bots. It'll take them HOURS to fix that mess you made in my
room! "
" I'm sorry Veggie. It's just that when I teleport I sometimes don't know exactly WHERE I'll end up. I was hoping I'd
teleport to the backyard or someplace. It's just that while I was teleporting I started thinking of that waterbed of yours
and how I'm gonna ask Chi-chan to get me my own for Christmas. " Goku explained.
" Christmas is 6 months away, Kakarrotto. "
" ...really? " Goku blinked, " Aww, that's longer than I thought! " he whined, then realized where they were heading,
" Say Veggie, why are we going down to Bulma's lab? "
" Because Kakarrotto, I have something to show you. " Vegeta sighed, opening the lab door and walking down the steps.
" YAY! " Goku cheered as they reached the lab, " ANYONE HOME? " he called out into the room. A loud snore echoed
throughout the lab. Goku sweatdropped, " Veggie I think you have a monster in your basement. "
Vegeta glared at the large sheet covering one of the chairs, " It's not a monster, Kakarrot. It's only Mirai. " he
pulled the sheet off the chair.
" Huh? " Mirai yawned, then opened his eyes to see Goku and Vegeta standing infront of him. Goku still covered in mud
and Vegeta in his pink shirt, " HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! " Mirai laughed, pointing at them, " Oh Toussan what
happened to you guys! "
" Kakarrot thought it would be a nice idea to FILL MY ROOM WITH MUD so now I have decided to come down here and show
him exactly WHY that is WRONG! " Vegeta narrowed his eyes at Goku, who just chuckled at the pouty look on the ouji's face. He
turned back to Mirai, " I'll need a microscope, a hose, and a bar of soap. "
" I can understand the last two, but a MICROSCOPE? " Mirai cocked an eyebrow.
" In order to prove to Kakarrot that his little kako-cooties exist I must be able to see them up close. " Vegeta
nodded. Mirai sweatdropped.
" It's gonna be another one of THOSE days, isn't it Toussan? " he groaned.
" Yes, Mirai, yes it is. " Vegeta replied. Mirai opened one of the drawers in the desk he was sleeping at and handed
Vegeta a bar of soap.
" The microscopes are across the way and there's a shower-like machine over there. " Mirai pointed to a large
bird-cage-shaped machine a couple feet infront of the desk.
" Perfect. " Vegeta smiled, " Kakarrot get in there! " he ordered.
" I dunno Veggie, that looks kinda scary in there--OOF! " Vegeta pushed Goku through the blinds and shut them on him.
" Now where's the on switch on this thing. " the ouji muttered, looking at the bottom of the machine, which was
covered in buttons and knobs.
" Something tells me you're still a little tense about me trashing your room. " Goku said, laying on his stomach
in the machine. He yelped as a bar of soap flew at him and knocked him on the head. Goku groaned and rubbed the bump it had
caused, " Yep, I'm definately sensing some hostility coming from little Veggie's direction. "
" No kidding. " Mirai said sarcastically, then quickly zipped his mouth shut after Vegeta gave him a death-glare.
Vegeta continued pushing various buttons on the machine. Mirai looked over at him and bit his lip nervously.
" Toussan I really don't think that's a good idea, you know, pressing each button till you find the one that works. "
" Oh really? And what do YOU suggest. " Vegeta said dryly.
" I don't know...reading the directions first? " Mirai suggested, holding out a piece of paper. Vegeta stared at the
paper, embarassed. He slapped himself on the forehead.
" GIVE ME THAT! " he snapped, taking the paper from Mirai, who chuckled lightly. Goku's high-pitched giggles could be
heard from inside the machine, " Directions: to start machine, press start button. " Vegeta blinked, then pulled the paper
away to reveal a large red button infront of him on the machine reading "start button". He sweatdropped. Mirai was trying to
stifle his own laughter.
A loud rumble began to come from the ceiling of the machine. Goku looked up at it inquizzatively, then gasped as
buckets of water poured down ontop of him, instantly washing off the several thick layers of mud covering his body. The water
drained from the machine and Goku stepped out through the blinds with a grin on his face, soaked. He looked at Vegeta, then
Mirai and started to shake himself off like a dog would, " Now I'm squeaky clean! " he said happily.
Vegeta and Mirai rolled their eyes, both now soaking wet from the other saiyajin's shaking.
" Yes, good for you. " Vegeta grumbled, " Now give me the soap. "
" Soap? "
" Don't start that again! Just give it to me! " he said, more annoyed.
" Oh...I was supposed to give it BACK to...oops. " Goku said, embarassed.
" Oops? What do you mean "oops"? " Vegeta asked.
" *URP*! " Goku burped, causing a large soap bubble to float out of his mouth and into the air above them.
Mirai's jaw hung open, " You're kidding me? "
The soap bubble floated onto the tip of Vegeta's nose, then popped in his face, " Thank you Kakarrotto, that was a
highlight of my day. " he grumbled.
" Your welcome Veggie! " Goku said, giving the ouji a hug, then burped out several more bubbles. A large smile
crossed Vegeta's face, which was once again a bright red, " Alright Veggie, time to let go! " he said cheerfully, then felt
something yank him.
" Few more seconds. "
" ... "
" ... "
" Oh-kay. " Vegeta said, letting Goku loosen his grip. He made his way towards the microscopes and sat down.
" Veggie want another hug? " Goku asked curiously.
" YES--NO--*SMACK*! " Vegeta slapped himself across the face. Goku blinked, confused, " Let's continue, shall we? "
he said, suddenly calm again.
" Yes little Veggie. " Goku stood beside him contently.
" Now, Kakarrotto I want you to hand me that blueish navy colored thingy on your wrist. " he pointed to them.
" You mean my wristbands? " Goku said, baffled.
" Yes! Hand me one! " Vegeta held his hand out. Goku shrugged and handed over his right wristband. Vegeta placed the
wristband under the microscope.
" Veggie what are you doing? " Goku asked, leaning his elbows down on the table.
" I'm going to show you EXACTLY what your Kako-germs look like. " Vegeta said, adjusting the microscope. He peered
down inside it and screamed, " AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! " Vegeta lept out of his seat.
" What? " Goku said in surprise.
" THEY'RE HIDEIOUS!!!! HIDEIOUS LITTLE GREEN MONSTERS!!! " Vegeta shrieked.
Goku peered down the microscope to see thousands of little green creatures that resembled himself in their heads and
then squiggled off into short little worm-like ends. All of them munching on his wristband.
" Wow, " Goku blinked, " I AM a disease. " he suddenly grinned, " COOL! "
" Hmmph, I told you you were infested with your little Kako-cooties but you never believed me. " Vegeta pushed him
out of the way and observed the tiny creatures, disgusted, " Just look at them! Eating away at that piece of cloth like its
an orderve! The bakayaros! "
" ... " as if on cue every single kako-germ turned their heads upward to face the microscope. A remaining one was
still knawing on the wristband. The one next to it jabbed it with its tail and caused the first one to also glance upward,
wide-eyed.
" ... " Vegeta stared down at them, now feeling slightly awkward at all the gawking eyes, " Umm, hi? "
" **VEGGIE**! " they all squealed at once. Vegeta froze with fear.
" Hey! They know your name too! What a coincidence! " Goku grinned. The little green dots sprang off the wristband
and at the ouji while chanting the word "Veggie".
" AHHHHH!!! KAKARROTTO THEY'RE ATTACKING ME!! " Vegeta screamed, backing up as the dots climbed all over him, " STOP
THEM STOP THEM STOP THEM! GET 'UM OFF GET 'UM OFF!!!! " he wailed, running around the room in a panic.
Goku sweatdropped, " I don't know why, but I feel strangely offended. "
" Hey Veggie? " Goku said as the ouji continued to run around in a circle, his arms flailing wildly.
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! "
" Hey Veggie? "
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! "
" VEGGIE! "
" --KAKARROTTO! " Vegeta cried, grabbing him by the collar and pulling him down to his height, " KAKARROTTO YOU HAVE
TO DO SOMETHING! THEY'RE EATING AWAY AT MY FLESH WITH THEIR LITTLE KAKO-GERMED _FANGS_!!! " he held out his arm. Goku bent
down and squinted his eyes to see the little green dots, who were still happily bouncing around on Vegeta's skin and singing
"Veggie Veggie Veggie" in utter contentment.
Goku smiled, " I dunno, I think they're kinda cute. Like me, only little, green, and squirmy! "
" KAKARROT! You're not HELPING! " Vegeta gritted through his teeth.
" I know that, silly. " Goku laughed at him.
" Well then GET THEM OFF! "
" I can't. " Goku shrugged.
Vegeta froze, " Wha, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T GET THEM OFF! " he yelped.
" Well, they only stick to people they really like. It's kind of hard and pretty painful to tear them away. " the
larger saiyajin explained.
" You mean they LIKE me? " Vegeta said in horror.
Goku chuckled nervously, " Well, yes. "
Vegeta sat down on a nearby chair, " I can't believe your little kako-germs LIKE me. They like me AND they're going
to eat me alive! "
" Not exactly. " Goku responded.
" "Not exactly"? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow, quoting him.
" You see, they don't eat anyone they like. They'll kinda just inhabit you the way they do me. "
Vegeta's eyes widened, " Like FLEAS?! "
" Yeah, like fleas! " Goku grinned.
" KAKO-fleas. " the ouji retched.
" YEAH! "
" Heeheehee! " a tiny, yet somehow familiar giggle sounded from Vegeta's shoulder. He and Goku peered down to see one
of the little green, wiggly Goku-headed germs smiling up at them. It leaned towards the ouji's cheek.
" *SMOOCH*! "
" ...AHHHHHHHH!!! " Vegeta flung his arm back, causing the germ to splat against the wall of the lab. He dashed up
the stairs, screaming his head off.
Goku peered over at the smushed smooching germ, " Poor baby. " he sniffled, then picked it off and brought it to
the lab's bathroom, " I'm sorry it had to *sniff* end this way. " Goku said, his eyes tearing, " I'll miss you! " he squeaked
out, hugging the germ, then dropped it into the toilet and flushed it, " O-WELL! " he said, peppy as ever again, " You win
some you lose some! "
Goku followed the ouji's path upstairs only to find him in the kitchen with a smirk of vengence on his face while
shaking a spray can.
" Veggie! " Goku said with joy, " You're being a good host and you're going to spread some cheez-whiz on yourself for
them to eat! "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " This isn't cheez-whiz you cheese-head! " he said, then let out a little chuckle at himself.
He quickly regained his smirk, " It's FLEA REPELLENT!!! "
" *GASP*! " Goku gasped in terror.
" As soon as I spray this all over my body you can consider your kako-germs DESTROYED! " he laughed maniacally.
" Veggie you can't do that! " Goku cried out, tears welling up in his eyes.
Vegeta grinned, " And why NOT? "
" Cuz they're my babies! " he sobbed.
" Too bad. " Vegeta retorted, shaking the bottle. He quickly opened the top and began to spray it all over himself.
He smiled contently as the little voices of the kako-germs could be heard crying for help.
" Eek! "
" Help! "
" Ahh! "
" Veggie how could you! "
" Easily. " Vegeta answered, snickering. He opened one eye to see two huge teary shimmering ones staring back at him.
" MURDERER! " Goku bawled, pointing at him. " WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! " he cried loudly, running
out of the room.
" ... " Vegeta stood there for a moment, dumbfounded, then paused when he heard a different sound coming from his
shirt, shorts, and limbs.
" *hack*! "
" *cough* *cough*! "
He pulled his right arm up to his face to see dozens of the kako-germs were now in the process of dying from the
repellent, " *cough* *cough* *hack*! "
One of the germs noticed Vegeta and looked up at him with the same expression Goku had just worn, " Oh Veggie! *hack*
how could you do it Veggie! *cough* "
Wide-eyed, Vegeta slowly pulled his arm back down to its side, shocked. The various tiny coughings began to dissipate
. The ouji scratched his head, " That's strange, the screaming stopped. " he looked down at his shirt and shrieked to find
all the little green creatures now laying lifeless on his shirt with big X's for eyes signifying only one thing, " AHHH! I
KILLED THEM!!!! "
" Breathe! Breathe! " a frightened voice from the kitchen cried. Goku got up from infront of the TV and walked over
to find Vegeta down on his knees and pressing something on the floor with his thumbs.
" Veggie, what are you doing? " Goku asked oddly.
" I'm trying to save them! " the ouji said sadly, " Breathe darn you! Breathe! " he looked down at the little green
dots, which had lost their grip on him and were now all laying dead on the floor around the two saiyajin. Vegeta sniffled,
feeling like he had something caught in his throught. He pressed down one more time upon the germ and then burst into tears,
" OHHH!!! MY POOR BABIES!!! GONE FOREVER! " he sobbed over-dramatically.
Goku blinked, confused, " But Veggie, you PURPOSELY killed them. "
" SHUT UP!!! "
The larger saiyajin bent down on the floor next to him and put a hand on the ouji's shoulder, " You know Veggie,
there ARE more "Kaka-germs" other than the ones you killed. " Goku said comfortingly.
" *sniffle* Really? " Vegeta looked up at him.
" Sure. I've got them all over me. I'm their source, 'nember? " he giggled.
" ... "
" ... "
" Veggie why are you looking at me like that? " Goku gulped, now a pale white.
An evil smirk crossed the ouji's face, " Oh Ka-kee, --COME'ERE! " he shouted, then tackled Goku to the ground. He
grabbed several of the big black spikes of hair on Goku's head, " HA! Where are they where are they where are they?? " he
said eagerly, shuffling his hands through the hair, but for no result. The pouty expression on Vegeta's face turned to one of
anger, " WHERE ARE THEY!!!! "
" Hopefully somewhere far away by now. " Goku said flatly, sweatdropping.
Vegeta jumped off of the large saiyajin and got him in a headlock, " KAKARROTTO YOU BETTER TELL ME WHERE YOU PUT THEM
RIGHT NOW!!! "
" VEH-GEE! " Goku whined, " I didn't put them anywhere! YOU scared them off! " he pointed to a large mound of the
little green dots that was sitting nervously nearby. The ouji grinned happily, letting go of his big buddy, " MY BABIES! "
he squealed w/big sparkily eyes, " Oh! They're so cute! "
" This from the guy who just killed half of them. " Goku sweatdropped.
Vegeta bent down on the floor infront of them, " Hello little kaka-germs! Did you miss me? " he said sweetly.
" ... "
" ... "
" *VEGGIE*!! " they squealed happily.
Goku's jaw dropped to the floor. Vegeta looked over his shoulder at the large saiyajin and blew a raspberry in his
direction.
" VEGGIE! VEGGIE! VEGGIE! VEGGIE! " the little green dots chanted as they hopped onto Vegeta's body. The small
saiyajin grinned and happily skipped off, whistling to himself. Goku hung his head as he felt an ominous cloud of doom hang
over his head.
He looked down at himself, " ...suddenly it feels very quiet down here... "
Vegeta sat on the living room couch, stuffing his face with popcorn, " Ahh, heeheehee! " he chuckled down at the
little green dots bouncing around him.
" Veggie? "
He looked up to see Goku staring down at him, his eyes bloodshot, " Yeeess? " he said joyfully.
" ...I WANT MY COOTIES BACK!!! " Goku screamed in his face.
Vegeta shrugged casually, " I can't help it if your little Kako-germs ADORE me more than they ever could you. "
" WHAT?! " Goku shrieked.
" Aren't they cute? " he held some up in his hands.
" *VEGGIE* *VEGGIE* *VEGGIE*! " they all chanted in their sweet-sounding little voices.
" OOH! WHADDA YOU MEAN THEY LIKE YOU BETTER THAN ME! _I_ MADE THEM!! " Goku exclaimed, tensing up.
Vegeta smiled back at him, " WHO are they residing on? WHO'S name are they chanting? WHO are they building a little
cootie community on? "
Goku looked down sadly, " You, Veggie. "
" HA! I rest my case! " Vegeta said proudly.
Goku sat down next to him, " Please Veggie! I really want my germs back! " he pleaded, " My body feels so lonely
without them. It's so cold. " he shivered.
Vegeta looked over at him sympathetically, then shook it off, " Well I-- "
" Hmm? " Goku leaned towards him, whimpering.
" --I CAN'T! " he shouted.
" Huh? "
" I can't! Kakarrotto, do you have any idea what these things do? " he asked intently.
" Umm, " Goku thought, " Well, they make me feel all warm-n-gooey inside when I'm happy. " he smiled.
" EXACLTY! "
" ...I don't get it. " Goku blinked.
" Of COURSE you don't get it! That's because you have this "warm-n-gooey" feeling inside you 24/7! You have no idea
how to fully appreciate these little things! Look! " he pulled one of his gloves off and put one of the kako-germs in his
hand, then rubbed it with his other hand, " Watch closely. " he said. Goku peeked inbetween Vegeta's hands. The little green
germ smiled contently and started to turn pink. In turn the spot on Vegeta's hand it was sitting on began to glow bright
red until his whole hand was also glowing.
" Wow Veggie that is amazing! I didn't know they could do that! " Goku said, surprised.
" Yes, well, Kakarrotto? "
" Yeah Veggie? "
" Do you think you could, uhh, take it off before it starts spreading to my arm? " he chuckled nervously. Goku fell
to the ground, animé style.
" GAHH! VEGGIE! " he got up and picked it up off Vegeta's hand, which slowly faded back to its normal coloring,
" You mean, THESE are what's been changing your face red all this time? "
" Probably. " Vegeta shrugged, patting one of the other germs on the head.
" But, if it's just a chemical reaction by my little cooties, then that means, that it's not because you love me
after all? " tears started to well up in his eyes.
" Nuh--no--Kaka--that's not it! I-- " Vegeta stuttered, the little green germs all instantly turned pink, causing him
to glow bright red.
" IT IS!! IT IS!! " Goku wailed, backing up for the front door, which flew open, " YOU ONLY LOVED ME FOR MY
COOTIES!! " he bawled, pushing past the figure in the doorway and running out into the street, then teleported away.
Bulma blinked in confusion as she stood in the doorway, " What was THAT all about?! " she said, holding a grocery
bag. She turned to Vegeta, who had a look of pure devistation on his face, yet was still glowing bright red.
" I just broke Kaka-chan's heart into a billion little pieces! " he painfully cried out, then flopped onto the couch
and buried his face in a pillow, sobbing.
Bulma sweatdropped, " Well, another wonderful day at Capsule Corperation....hoo-boy.... "
" WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE DOESN'T "LOVE YOU"?! " Chi-Chi gawked as Goku lay under the sheets of his bed, crying loudly.
" Veggie only loved me cuz my cooties get his Veggie-mind hypothetically DRUNK! " Goku said, poking his head out from
under the sheets. He pulled it back in again.
Chi-Chi stared at the bed sheets skeptically, " Goku, if there's one thing I know about that evil little ouji that is
utterly and completely true, it's that--ugh, " she sat down beside him and pulled the sheets off his head, " --it's that he
loves you--in his own odd little ouji-ish way--but still. He cares too much about you, unfortunately, to leave well enough
alone and go on with his life. So what if the only reason his face turns red is solely based on some chemical reaction!
Who cares! And I think you should go apologize to him before he comes over here and over-dramatically tries to sweep you off
your feet to some far off land with him as HIS apology. "
Goku looked up at her in disbelief, " Veggie'd never do that for me... " he said in a small voice, " BECAUSE NOW I
KNOW HE NEVER REALLY LOVED ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!! OH LITTLE VEH-GEEEE! " Goku grabbed his pillow and hugged it tightly.
" Go-chan? " she said, conserned.
" Yes Chi-chan? " Goku responded sadly.
" Look over here at me for a moment. "
" Oh-kay. " he said. Chi-Chi put her hand on his forehead.
" That's strange, you look pale. " Chi-Chi said, worried.
" Missing Go-cooties, body feels tired...and cold....and lonely. " tears welled up in his eyes. " Missing Veggie,
missing germs, missing lotsa thi--ZzzZZzz... " Goku collapsed onto his pillow, falling asleep.
" That's it. We're going to the Ouji's. NOW. " Chi-Chi said, pulling him out of bed.
" Chi-chan I don't wanna *yawn* go to Veggie's...he doesn't care about me. " Goku said sleepily. Chi-Chi looked at
the pale, almost light green tint on Goku's face.
" You don't look well, at least we can stop at the lab so Bulma can take a look at you. " she said as she placed him
in the passager's seat in their car.
" The lab? " Goku looked at her curiously, " I gave little Veggie our last "buddy-hug" in the lab... " he bit his
lip, waiting to start crying again.
Chi-Chi started the car, " OH SUCK IT UP YOU BIG BABY! Do you want help or not! I swear if I didn't know better I'd
say I was doing that Ouji a favor right now! "
Goku smiled weakly, " Maybe you are... "
" *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*! ALRIGHT OUJI-BOY! OPEN UP! " Chi-Chi shouted as she and Goku stood infront of the door to
Capsule Corp.
" ... "
" OUJI!!! " she kicked the door open only to have a huge glop of red paint splatter all over her face, " ARRGH! "
Chi-Chi rubbed her eyes, then looked up and gawked at the sight before her.
" HI ONNA! HI KAKAY! " Vegeta stood before them with a big Son Goku grin on his face. He was wearing a white,
paint-splattered smock overtop his usual training gear. The entire living room was splattered with red, green, blue, and
yellow paint. There was a large canvas in the middle of the room with a big messy fingerpainting on it.
" Veh--Veh--Veh-WHAT ARE YOU UP TO!! " Chi-Chi sputtered, then glared down at him.
" Nothin. " he said cheerfully, then leaned to the side where Goku was, " Hey, Kakay. I knew you'd come back for
me! " the ouji chuckled.
" *whimper*. " Goku looked down sadly.
" Aww, you're not still mad, are you Kakay? " Vegeta stared at him blankly.
" No, just kind of depressed. " Chi-Chi said in distaste, then froze as Vegeta reached around and gave Goku a hug.
" I'm sorry Kakay. " he said sadly, then smiled up at him contently, " You've made me very happy though, letting me
have your Kaka-germs. "
" I....ah....I.... " Goku stuttered, what was left of his brain feeling like it had just been turned to mush. He
turned to Chi-Chi for an answer, only to have her shriek at him. He blinked, confused.
" AHHHH!! GO-CHAN!!! " Chi-Chi screeched, pointing at his face.
" My....face? " Goku blinked, then looked down at the smiling ouji who was still hugging him. Vegeta pointed to his
own face in agreement. The larger saiyajin looked around the room in search of a mirror as Chi-Chi fumbled through her purse
for her compact one. She pulled it out and stuck it infront of Goku.
" GO-CHAN YOUR FACE!!! " Chi-Chi shouted. Goku looked at his reflection in shock, " YOU'RE _GLOWING_!!! "
Goku gawked at the little compact mirror. His own face was now glowing bright red, " But, that's impossible!! " he
sweated.
" YOU SHOULDN'T BE GLOWING!!! THAT'S A OUJI-TRAIT GOKU!! NOT ONE OF YOURS!!! " Chi-Chi said, worried. She then
noticed Vegeta still hugging the bigger saiyajin and pushed him away. The glow quickly faded from Goku's face. He wiped his
forehead with his arm, relieved.
" Little Veggie's "kaka-germs" are making him act funny. " Goku concluded.
" Aww, don't worry about it Kakay! I feel GREAT! " Vegeta cheered.
" Say Ouji, what's with all the finger-paints? " Chi-Chi asked, suspicous. She picked up a container of fingerpaints.
" Well, after Kakarrotto-chan left I was feeling pretty bad, but for some odd reason I thought to cheer myself up
again somehow. So I asked myself, now what's the most fun thing you could do by yourself? And then I got it! FINGERPAINTS! "
he grinned widely.
" ... " Goku scratched his head.
" Fingerpaints? " Chi-Chi said flatly.
" Yeah! Isn't it incredible! It's like something burst inside of me screaming for me to cut loose and do something
fun for a change! " Vegeta said, taking the container from her.
" But, isn't "training" fun too? " Goku said, confused.
" Well...in its own way. I was going to train to try and get my mind off of missing you, but then I realized that the
sole purpose I'm training is to beat you anyway so if I did that I'd still have you on the brain. "
" So you decided to play "artist" and fingerpaint instead. " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow.
" Well, yeah. " Vegeta shrugged, then smiled at Goku, " Kakay wanna fingerpaint with his little buddy? "
" Sure Veggie! " Goku said happily.
" You're glowing again, Kaka-chan. " the ouji smirked.
" Huh? " Goku grabbed Chi-Chi's mini-mirror & looked in it, " AHH! " he yelped, then slapped himself across the face
a couple times.
" What are you doing THAT for! " Chi-Chi said, frightened.
" This *slap* is how Veggie *slap* usually gets *slap* this red stuff to *slap* go away. " Goku bit his lip in pain
from the slapping.
" Goku you stop that right now or you'll smack your head clear off your shoulders! " she warned. He sighed and
stopped. Vegeta suddenly left the room and returned carrying a bucket of water.
" Bend down, Kakarrotto. " he ordered. Goku willingly did so, only to be drenched in water by the buckey.
" HEY! VEH-GEE! " he whined, his head now soaked.
" Better now? " Vegeta snickered, holding up the mirror. Goku's skin was now back it its normal peachy tone.
" Uhh, yeah. Thanks...Veggie. " the large saiyajin responded, not knowing exactly what to say. He sighed, " My own
germs are working against me..ohhhhhhh! " Goku sweatdropped.
" Here Kakarrotto, I'll take the yellow and green paints and you can have blue and red, since you seem to like those
colors so much. " Vegeta giggled evilly.
Chi-Chi snarled at the ouji, " OOH I OUTTA!!! "
" YAY! " Goku cheered, dunking his hands in the paint, the left in the blue and the right in the red. He smushed each
hand on either of Vegeta's cheeks, then pulled them away and wrote "little buddy" in blue paint on the ouji's forehead,
" Heeheehee! This IS fun Veggie. " he giggled.
" ...I meant paint on the CANVAS, not ME YOU KNUCKLEHEAD!!! " Vegeta barked at him.
" Veggie can be MY canvas! " the large saiyajin grinned.
" ...heh-heh, heh... " Vegeta's face started to glow bright red, the kako-germs on his body glowing pink, " My God
that was sweet of you... " he laughed nervously.
" Goku go paint the other side of the canvas. " Chi-Chi said, annoyed at the ouji.
" But I wanna paint WITH Veggie. " Goku pouted.
" WELL YOU'RE NOT!....BECAUSE HE'S EVIL!!! "
" I didn't even ask why. " Goku said, baffled.
" TOO BAD! " she snapped.
" Chi-chan seems to have gotten very tense very fast. " Goku rubbed his chin, worried.
" That's only because I now hold the POWER over ALL YOUR EMOTIONS!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! " Vegeta laughed
maniacally.
" ...what? " Goku did a double-take.
" Uh, nothing. " he mumbled, then turned the other way. Chi-Chi glared at Vegeta and walked Goku over to the opposite
side of the canvas.
" You know Onna, opposites attract. " Vegeta said sneakily.
" EVIL LITTLE-- " Chi-Chi started.
" Hahaha! If that's true then Veggie & Chi-chan should be best friends by now. Hahahaha! " Goku laughed happily.
" I COULD NEVER BE FRIENDS WITH HIM HE'S EVIL! "
" I COULD NEVER BE FRIENDS WITH HER SHE'S EVIL! " they both shouted in unison, then froze, turned to one another &
growled, furious.
Goku started to fingerpaint on the paper, then quickly slowed down until he was at almost as sluggish a state as when
he first got to Capsule Corp, " Ohhhhhhhh... "
" Goku, are you alright? Does it hurt? " Chi-Chi gulped, worried about him.
" Goku wants his germies back... " he said, his eyes glazed over.
" What? But you were fine just a minute ago! " she exclaimed.
" *A-HEM* " Vegeta made an attention getting cough.
" Whadda you want? " Chi-Chi said flatly.
" I seem to have found the problem. " Vegeta chuckled lightly, then walked over to Goku and grabbed part of his gi,
causing some of the blood flow and color to return to Goku's face.
" Hey Veggie how'd you do that? " Goku asked, his pep returned.
" Yes "Veggie", how DID you do that? " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow.
" You see Onna, Kakarrot's little "Kako-germs" do more than just cause my face to glow brighter than a 120watt bulb,
they also supply him with ample "happy energy". A special kind of chi that makes him as pestably peppy and annoyingly sweet
as he is everyday. The little buggers have now retreated to a more nobel home, moí, and cause a small yet similar effect in
yours truely. By merely touching Kakarrot's clothing the germs sense their creator's presense and bolt out "happy energy" to
his body. " Vegeta explained, " Making me sort of like his, battery recharger, if you know what I mean. "
" Oh, " Chi-Chi said, impressed, " In that case...YOU BETTER GIVE GOKU HIS COOTIES BACK RIGHT NOW OR I'M GONNA POUND
THEM RIGHT OUT OF YOUR MISERABLE OUJI BODY!!! "
" Hmm, we'll just have to ask the little kako-germs who they'd rather live on. " Vegeta said proudly, then looked
down at himself, " Oh little kaka-cooties? Who wants to stay and live with Veggie? " he asked sweetly. Chi-Chi almost puked.
" ME ME ME ME!!! " they all chanted at once.
" HA! I rest my case. " Vegeta said smoothly.
" But, but, but, I NEED THEM!!! " Goku begged.
" You need ME, you mean. " he grinned.
" HE'LL DIE BEFORE HE _NEEDS YOU_ OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi threatened him.
" *fake-sniffle* Is that TRUE, Kaka-chan? " Vegeta sniffled at him w/big sparkily eyes.
" Ohhhhh... "
" DON'T LOOK AT HIM GOKU!! CLOSE YOUR EYES!!! COVER THEM WITH YOUR HANDS!! " Chi-Chi shouted at him.
" Veggie so sweet-n-little. " Goku said, feeling his cheeks barely begin to glow.
" Of course I am Kakarrotto. " Vegeta smirked, rubbing the underside of his nose, " Aren't I just cute enough to
hug? " he questioned, then yelped as something grabbed him.
" OH LITTLE VEGGIE YES YOU ARE!!! " Goku squealed, hugging him tightly. Vegeta gasped for air.
Vegeta pulled Goku's vise-like grip off his body and lept down. He took a deep breath and sighed with relief. He
glanced over at Chi-Chi, who was now in a defensive stance she had taught Goten and was ready to attack the short prince.
" Say, Kakay. How would you like me to paint you? " Vegeta asked innocently.
" WOW! REALLY VEGGIE? " Goku gasped with excitement, " I've always wanted to be painted! "
" Have you? Well, I guess this is your lucky day. " Vegeta said, climbing the paint-stained stairs to his room.
" YAY! PAINTING WITH VEGGIE! " Goku cheered, dashing up after him.
" NO YOU'RE NOT!!! " Chi-Chi screamed, " Goku come down here right now! We're going home!!! "
" Oh-kay Chi-chan. " Goku shrugged, turning around, only to have something grab him by the collar.
" You wouldn't want to get all sickly and depressed again, would you Kakay? " Vegeta hugged him, " If you wanna keep
your body happy you have to keep it healthy. And you can't keep it healthy without your kaka-germs. And you can't have your
kaka-germs without ME. So isn't it just logical to come upstairs so I can paint you? "
" ...Veggie's got a point Chi-chan. " Goku nodded.
" AAUGH!!!! " Chi-Chi was almost ready to rip her own hair out, " GOKU! YOU CAN MAKE MORE GERMS! NOW COME HERE! "
" NO! No I can't! " Goku said in a panic, " I need at least one germ in order for them to multiply, and Veggie has
ALL of them....all the remaining ones anyway. He killed the first batch. "
" WHAT! " she screamed, " IF HE KILLED HALF YOUR GERMS ALREADY HOW CAN YOU TRUST HIM WITH THE OTHER HALF!! "
" Easy. Veggie cares about my cooties now, Chi-chan. And even though they enjoy living off him more than they do me
Veggie is trying his best to take good care of them and keep me happy at the same time. " Goku explained while Vegeta stood
behind him making faces at Chi-Chi.
" Oh I'll take care of him alright. " Chi-Chi grumbled, making a fist.
" I'm sure you will. " Vegeta replied, slightly stunning Chi-Chi, who was unaware he could hear her, " But right now
I have something, err, someone to take care of right now. " he said, opening the door to his room, " Go on in Kakay, I have
plenty of extra paints inside just for you. "
" Whee! " Goku whee-ed, zipping inside the bedroom. Vegeta and Chi-Chi stared each other down.
" Don't think that the minute you close that door on me that I won't come running up to beat the living daylights out
of you with it. " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at Vegeta.
" Tsk tsk tsk, is that ANY WAY to speak to Kakarrotto-chan's sole life source? I think not. " Vegeta snickered.
" YOU'RE NO "LIFESOURCE" YOU'RE A THIEF AND YOU KNOW IT! "
" A thief! " Vegeta fake-gasped, " Oh how horrible a thought *sniffle* I might have to go cry upon Kakay's shoulder
for THAT one. "
" ERRRRRRRR... "
" Now, if you'll excuse me Onna, I have a masterpiece to finger-paint. " Vegeta casually strolled into his room and
shut the door, then poked his head out, blew a raspberry at her, and slammed the door shut again.
" AAARRGHH! VEGETA!!! " Chi-Chi roared, rumbling up the stairs. She grabbed the doorknob and twisted it left to
right, " OOH! UNLOCK THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW YOU LITTLE OUJI OR I SWEAR I'LL-- "
" *BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeee* " a bright red light glowed violently through the creases of the door, sending her
flying back and onto the ground. Chi-Chi blinked as the light slowed down to a steady beam.
" What is that? " she blinked just as a horrible thought hit her, " BLUSHING! " Chi-Chi yelped, then started to
pound on the door, " GOKU! GOKU YOU OPEN THIS DOOR FOR YOUR CHI-CHAN! DON'T YOU HURT HIM OUJI!! YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE!! "
she screamed, then looked around frantically for a weapon when another thought hit her, " The flametorcher! " she ran
down the stairs and towards the lab, " I'LL BE RIGHT BACK GO-CHAN! DON'T YOU WORRY YOUR CHI-CHAN'S GONNA SAVE YOU YET! "
she shouted up at the door, then gulped, " I hope... "

END OF PART ONE
Chuquita: And so ends Part One.
Vegeta: (musing) The Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ouji, MASTER of all kako-germs. Heh-heh-heh. I like that.
Chuquita: Actually there's an ironic twist in the beginning of Part 2.
Vegeta: You haven't written Part 2 yet.
Chuquita: Yes, but it's in my head.
Goku: [peering in Chu's ear] Where? I don't see anything?
Vegeta: (snickers) There's a surprise.
Chuquita: (sweatdrop) I swear you just set him up Son-kun.
Goku: I did? Sorry.
Chuquita: (shakes her head at Son) Do you mind changing into something a little more decent Son-San? That costume is so
wrong.
Vegeta: Yes Kakarrot, you look, so--umm? (tries to think of a word)
Goku: (grin) Stunning?
Vegeta: Stupid!
Goku: (pouts) Aww. [gets up] Well it's not MY fault. I'm not the one who dragged me into the Costume Department and said
"that's a pretty outfit isn't it Kakarrotto"? (grumbles as he walks off stage) Besides-- [burst back into the Corner, now
wearing an outfit similar to the chiquita banana girl] (happy) IT HAS NO FLAVOR!!! YAI YAI YAI!
[Chu and Veggie sweatdrop]
Chuquita: Well....at least it's brighter.
Vegeta: Tell me Kakarrot, how many colors are on that costume that DON'T exist.
Goku: (giggles) [sits down] Veggie like my new outfit?
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) Yuh, yeah Kakay, it's, nice...
Goku: (observing the ouji) Hmm...
Vegeta: ........what?
Goku: Veggie's shirt looks funny, try this one on! [holds up a brightly colored hawaiian t-shirt]
Vegeta: (offended) ARE YOU SAYING MY CURRENT SHIRT LOOKS STUPID!!! [hugs at his pink shirt]
Goku: I said it looks funny.
Vegeta: But you also implied it's stupid! Right? RIGHT!
Goku: (sad) I'm sorry Veggie, I didn't know you liked your lil pink shirt so much.
Vegeta: (embarassement) I DON'T LIKE IT YOU BAKAYARO! IT'S JUST--uh--comfortable! Yeah, it's very comfortable.
Goku: Really? (big cheesy grin) Can _I_ try it on then?
Vegeta: NO!!! It wouldn't fit over your tremendous body anyway.
Chuquita: Veggie is right, you are a big person Son-kun, you understand.
Goku: I know...so? Are we gonna have dance time or what?
Chuquita: (blinks, confused) Huh? OH! I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THAT! (smiles) Sure Son, let's start.
Goku: YAY! (snaps fingers; "Tango" music instantly fills the room) [holds out his hand to Veggie] Veggie come dance with me!
Vegeta: (stares at Son's hand) (shouts up at the ceiling) NEVER!
Goku: (whiney) Aww! Come on Veggie! (giggles) You know wanna dance with me!
Vegeta: I DO NOT!!
Chuquita: Yeah, go on Veggie, dance with your big buddy.
Vegeta: (glares at her) Don't you DARE stick your nose into this Chu! I don't see YOU getting up and doing anything!
Chuquita: (frowns) I hate dancing.
Vegeta: (enraged) THEN WHY DID YOU--
Chuquita: (grins) But I enjoy watching you do it.
Vegeta: (snorts) [sits down] Well if you don't have to get up then I'm not either!
Goku: (teasingly) Veggie is a wallflower! Veggie is a wallflower!
Vegeta: (grabs Son's hand and drags him infront of the desk) I AM NOT! (grumbles) Now let's get this stupid thing over with!
....how do you do this stupid thing anyway?
Goku: (loudly) IT'S _EASY_!!! [stuffs one of the roses from before in Veggie's mouth]
Vegeta: (yelps) AHH!! [spits it out into his hand and then screams again] THE PAIN! THE PAIN! THE SPIKEY PAIN!!!
Goku: Silly Veggie, you don't hold it in your mouth, you hold it in your teeth! [points to his own teeth]
Vegeta: (paranoid) OH! So now you want to poke holes in THEM TOO!
Goku: (sweatdrops)
Chuquita: Moron.
Vegeta: I SAID STAY OUT OF THIS ONNA!
Chuquita: (offended) HEY! WHO YOU CALLING AN ONNA!
Vegeta: I don't see any other onnas around here, unless you count KAKARROT!
Goku: (confused) Is that a compliment?
Chuquita: Umm, sure.
Goku: WHOOPEE! Veggie come dance with me now!
Vegeta: [holds the rose sideways in his mouth] (to Chu) Chu, if I dance this once with Kakarrot, can I change back into my
regular clothes and blast this blasted flower into oblivion?
Chuquita: Yep. [pulls out her camera] You complete this requested task and I let you go free...
Vegeta: *WHEW*!
Chuquita: Until we get to the other dances that is.
Vegeta: OTHER dances?! (gulps)
Chuquita: You got it.
Vegeta: Uhh, Kaka--WAHH! [Son dips, then spins Veggie off into the audiance where he crashes through several rows of seats]
Ohhhhhhhhh, the pain....
Goku: (happily) Dancing with Veggie is fun!
Chuquita: (sweadrops) I'm sure it is.

Quote of the Week: "I'll squash you like a pancake...and I like my pancakes very flat." -Veggie
Chuey's Corner:
Vegeta: AND covered in a delicious syrup/presevative-like topping.
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Good for you Veggie. I'd like to welcome everyone to a special fan-requested Corner! Last fic I asked
reviewers to give ideas on what we should do in the next Corner. Eventually I'll try to get to them all. But today we have
the winner, or winners depending on how you look at it. Gie said I should have Veggie and Son-San do various dances like
the tango; Veggie with a rose in his mouth; and the funky chicken while in a seperate review Maria S. gave me a funny idea
of our two saiyajin friends having to tango together and...well, [pulls out her camera] Son-San'll fill you in on the rest
of that one when the time comes.
Vegeta: Where IS Kakarrotto anyway?
Chuquita: (shrugs) Beats me.....what are you WEARING?
Vegeta: [looks down at his frilly pink shirt and hawaiian shorts] Don't ask me, it was Kakarrot's idea. (snorts)
Chuquita: (cocks an eyebrow) (not totally convinced) Really?
Vegeta: ...well oh-kay maybe he only thought up the shorts--THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME BEING CREATIVE YOU KNOW!! [tugs
at his shirt]
Chuquita: I guess if that's what you wanna call it.
Vegeta: (suspicious) OH, and what would YOU call it?
Chuquita: I'd call it getting a little TOO into this exotic dance thing.
Vegeta: There is NOTHING exotic about the Funky Chicken, Chu.
Chuquita: (chuckles)
Vegeta: What?
Chuquita: I'm trying to imagine that dance being "exotic".
Vegeta: (anxiously looks over to his left at Son's empty seat, then at the door leading into the Corner) (whining) ERRRR,
KAKARROTTO!!! WHERE ARE YOU!
[Chu & Veggie freeze as the disco ball lights from the last Corner along with the latin American dance music appear in the
room]
Vegeta: (turns a pale white) (panickly sinks down in his chair) Why did I ask? WHY DID I ASK!!
Chuquita: Well, we're about to get an answer. [door flings open]
[figure steps into the room clacking castinettes in its hands]
Chuquita: (gawks) What the heck?!...
Vegeta: (slams his head down on the desk) I can't look! (glowing bright red)
Chuquita: Why are you glowing already! You haven't even SEEN anything??
Vegeta: (groans) It's a premonition! A premonition of EMBARASSING HUMILIATING ACTS TO COME!!
[Son giggles as he walks up to the desk and stands infront of his chair, grinning cheesily]
Chuquita: (jaw hangs open in shock)
Vegeta: (w/head still on desk) Quick! Tell me what he's wearing--no wait! DON'T tell me what he's wearing!
Chuquita: (mumbles) You'd never believe it.
Vegeta: [opens his eyes and turns his head to the left] What do you mean I wouldn't believe i--AAAAAHHHHHHH!!! [falls over
in his chair] WAHHH! [gets up, grabbing the top of the desk] Ka--Ka--Ka--KAKARROTTO!!?
Goku: (Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky) Hi Veggie! [wearing a red and black strapless spanish ballgownish dress w/several roses in hair]
Hi Chu-sama!
Chuquita: (slaps herself on the forehead) I won't even ask.
Goku: [snaps the castenettes in his hands at her ears]
Chuquita: AHH! (grabs her ears in pain) (shouting) WHAT WAS THAT FOR!!!
Goku: (cheerfully) To signify it is now TANGO TIME!! (clacks castenettes) AI YAI YAI!!
Chuquita: (seriously) [points to castenettes] Oh-kay, give me those.
Goku: Why? *CLACK* *CLACK*
Chuquita: Because it's really REALLY REALLY loud.
Goku: Just like ME! (grins)
Chuquita: (rubs her ears) Yeah, but that hurt! JUST GIVE ME THE CASTENETTES!!!
Goku: Well, alright Chu-sama. (giggles) I can't dance with them anyway. [hands her the castenettes]
Chuquita: (takes a good look at him and bursts out laughing) HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Goku: What's so funny?
Chuquita: YOU! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh Son-kun where did you GET that ridiculous outfit!
Goku: Veggie.
Chuquita: ...
Goku: ...
Chuquita: (snickers) Heh-heh. Heh-heh-heh.
Goku: (also snickers) Heeheehee.
Both: AH-HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!
Chuquita: (stifling chuckles) Oh Son that's a good one. Really, who'd you get that from?
Goku: (also stifling chuckles) Veggie.
Chuquita: ... [turns to Veggie] Hey Veggie?
Vegeta: [from under the table] I'm not here.
Chuquita: Veggie!
Vegeta: He's not under this table, now go away!
Chuquita: (annoyed) Vedge will you get out from under there and take a look at Son-San here!
Vegeta: ...no.
Goku: [lifts the desk up off the ground to reveal nothing] (blinks) Little Veggie where did you go?
Chuquita: [points to Veggie who is clutched against the underside of the desk] Veggie did you tell Son-kun to wear this
thing? [points to Son's costume]
Vegeta: (looks at Goku) KAKARROTTO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THAT HORRIFIC OUTFIT!
Goku: (confused) But, but you told me to--
Vegeta: I DID NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING! NOW GO CHANGE BACK INTO WHATEVER IT IS YOU NORMALLY WEAR!
Goku: But, but, but,--OHHHHHHHHHHHHH I AM SO CONFUSED!!! [holds the sides of his head] VEGGIE MAKE UP YOUR MIND!! [shakes
his fist in the air] (pouts) [sitting back in his chair] Veggie buys me this funny-looking outfit and then when I finally get
here he tells me not to wear it!....my head hurts.
Chuquita: [grabs two sombaros] Mine too. [puts one of the sombaros on] (smiles) Here Son-San. It'll make you feel better!
Goku: [puts his sombaro on] (grins up at it) Ooh! I feel better already!
Vegeta: (Mr. Pouty-Pants) What about me?
Chuquita: (smirks) You confused Son-San so no big hats for you.
Vegeta: AWWW! (snorts)
Chuquita: Our fic today conserns those well-known little "cooties" that have been living on Son-kun here since the beginning
of time.
Goku: Or as Veggie calls um, "Kako-germs" [picks something off the top of his head and shows it off to the audiance] Ain't
they CUTE!
Chuquita: About as cute as a little green dot could be. (scratches her head)
Vegeta: (blinks) I don't see anything.
Kako-germ: (squeals) VEGGIE! [flies onto his head]
Vegeta: (screams) AHHHHH!!!
Summary: Vegeta actually proves Goku's so called kako-germs really exist. When the little creatures realize who's watching
them they spring for a new home on the saiyajin prince. How will Veggie get rid of them? What happens when he decides to
NOT get rid of them? Will Goku be germ-less forever? Based on a comic strip I wrote.
Vegeta: (rubbing his head) AAUGH! GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!!
Goku: (whistles) Here boy! Come to Mommy!
Kako-germ: WHEE! [jumps back onto Goku's head]
Vegeta: (panting; still in a panic)
Chuquita: On with the show!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
" Ahhh! " Vegeta said happily as he stepped out of the bathroom; a towel around his waist and a similar one on his
head, " Nothing is more wonderful then the feeling of cleansing the body of all the disgusting Earth diseases around it. "
he smiled as he walked towards his room, then paused, " I wonder how long THIS one's gonna last. " he said flatly, then
opened the door to his room only to shriek in horror as a giant mudball came flying at him, knocking him to the ground and
completely drenching him in muck.
" HI VEGGIE!! " Goku grinned at him, the stench of rotting fish reeking from his mouth.
" KAKARROTTO!!! " Vegeta screamed angrily, " DO YOU KNOW WHAT I JUST CAME FROM DOING!!! "
" ... " Goku looked up, deep in thought, " Nooooooooooooo. " he said, then let out a giggle, " You smell really nice
though. "
The ouji's face turned bright red, " I do?....I mean, OF COURSE I SMELL NICE YOU BAKA! " he snorted, pushing the
larger saiyajin off of him, " At least I did until you pounced on me and covered my body in your third-class Kako-filth! "
Goku looked down at his muddy body, " It's not filth Veggie, this is how I always look after I mud-wrestle fishies. "
" Is THAT what you were doing? " Vegeta grumbled, standing up.
" Yeah. I went fishing early this morning and I caught a whole bunch of little ones-- "
" --and little to you would be... "
" The 4 footers. "
Vegeta nearly choked on his own spit, " FOUR--ugh, continue, Kakarrot. "
" Thank you little Veggie. " Goku smiled pleasantly at him, " Now where was I...oh yeah! I ate all those little ones
and got so full I could barely move, but then I spot this HUGE SIX-FOOT FISH doing backflips in the river, right? It took
me a while to wrestle him to the ground, but I caught him. Well, by the time I finally DID finish him off I remembered my
stomach was full. Now I couldn't waste a perfectly good fish like that so I thought "now who do I know that would like a
yummy fish for breakfast, hmm?". "
" And you thought of me. " Vegeta said flatly.
" Yup! " the larger saiyajin said proudly. Vegeta looked down to see a trail of mud seeping out the bottom of his
bedroom door.
" Kakarrot what's that? "
" What's what? "
" THAT! That trail of...Kakarrot move. "
" NO! " Goku yelped.
" Why not. "
" Well, I, uh, maybe I like standing right here. " Goku laughed nervously.
" In front of my doorway. " Vegeta said skeptically.
" Yes. "
" Hmm... " Vegeta rubbed his chin, trying to figure out how to get the bigger saiyajin to move. He smirked, " You
wouldn't be KEEPING something from your little buddy, would you Kaka-chan? " he fake-sniffled.
" No Veggie! I'd never keep ANYTHING from you! " Goku shook his head, worried.
" Then why don't you move your large body so I can get in my bedroom!!!! " Vegeta shouted.
" Well...oh-kay. " Goku gulped, " But-you-gotta-promise-not-to-get-mad-at-me! " he said quickly.
" Yeah yeah, I promise. " Vegeta grumbled as he walked past Goku and into his room. He screamed at the sight before
him. Vegeta's room was now covered in mud, slop, and grass. The giant fish Goku had described to him was laying sideways on
the ouji's bed. The prince's jaw dropped to the floor, " AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
" Wow Veggie, I'm so happy you're not mad at me! " Goku said cheerfully as they walked down the stairs from Vegeta's
room and headed towards the lab.
" Kakarrot if I didn't need you so much I would have killed you right then and there. " Vegeta said, obviously trying
to keep his temper under control.
" Awwwwwww! Veggie NEEDS me! " Goku clasped his hands together, then giggled. Vegeta's face started to glow again,
but he quickly shook it off, " It's a good thing your old "Bad Man" shirt didn't get all muddy. "
" Yes, it figures. In an ironic twist that this happened to be the ONLY shirt I own that DIDN'T get covered in your
GOO. " Vegeta cringed at the bright pink golf shirt he was wearing. A pair of blue and white vertical striped boxers of his
had also been salvaged, " You're lucky Bulma has those cleaning bots. It'll take them HOURS to fix that mess you made in my
room! "
" I'm sorry Veggie. It's just that when I teleport I sometimes don't know exactly WHERE I'll end up. I was hoping I'd
teleport to the backyard or someplace. It's just that while I was teleporting I started thinking of that waterbed of yours
and how I'm gonna ask Chi-chan to get me my own for Christmas. " Goku explained.
" Christmas is 6 months away, Kakarrotto. "
" ...really? " Goku blinked, " Aww, that's longer than I thought! " he whined, then realized where they were heading,
" Say Veggie, why are we going down to Bulma's lab? "
" Because Kakarrotto, I have something to show you. " Vegeta sighed, opening the lab door and walking down the steps.
" YAY! " Goku cheered as they reached the lab, " ANYONE HOME? " he called out into the room. A loud snore echoed
throughout the lab. Goku sweatdropped, " Veggie I think you have a monster in your basement. "
Vegeta glared at the large sheet covering one of the chairs, " It's not a monster, Kakarrot. It's only Mirai. " he
pulled the sheet off the chair.
" Huh? " Mirai yawned, then opened his eyes to see Goku and Vegeta standing infront of him. Goku still covered in mud
and Vegeta in his pink shirt, " HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! " Mirai laughed, pointing at them, " Oh Toussan what
happened to you guys! "
" Kakarrot thought it would be a nice idea to FILL MY ROOM WITH MUD so now I have decided to come down here and show
him exactly WHY that is WRONG! " Vegeta narrowed his eyes at Goku, who just chuckled at the pouty look on the ouji's face. He
turned back to Mirai, " I'll need a microscope, a hose, and a bar of soap. "
" I can understand the last two, but a MICROSCOPE? " Mirai cocked an eyebrow.
" In order to prove to Kakarrot that his little kako-cooties exist I must be able to see them up close. " Vegeta
nodded. Mirai sweatdropped.
" It's gonna be another one of THOSE days, isn't it Toussan? " he groaned.
" Yes, Mirai, yes it is. " Vegeta replied. Mirai opened one of the drawers in the desk he was sleeping at and handed
Vegeta a bar of soap.
" The microscopes are across the way and there's a shower-like machine over there. " Mirai pointed to a large
bird-cage-shaped machine a couple feet infront of the desk.
" Perfect. " Vegeta smiled, " Kakarrot get in there! " he ordered.
" I dunno Veggie, that looks kinda scary in there--OOF! " Vegeta pushed Goku through the blinds and shut them on him.
" Now where's the on switch on this thing. " the ouji muttered, looking at the bottom of the machine, which was
covered in buttons and knobs.
" Something tells me you're still a little tense about me trashing your room. " Goku said, laying on his stomach
in the machine. He yelped as a bar of soap flew at him and knocked him on the head. Goku groaned and rubbed the bump it had
caused, " Yep, I'm definately sensing some hostility coming from little Veggie's direction. "
" No kidding. " Mirai said sarcastically, then quickly zipped his mouth shut after Vegeta gave him a death-glare.
Vegeta continued pushing various buttons on the machine. Mirai looked over at him and bit his lip nervously.
" Toussan I really don't think that's a good idea, you know, pressing each button till you find the one that works. "
" Oh really? And what do YOU suggest. " Vegeta said dryly.
" I don't know...reading the directions first? " Mirai suggested, holding out a piece of paper. Vegeta stared at the
paper, embarassed. He slapped himself on the forehead.
" GIVE ME THAT! " he snapped, taking the paper from Mirai, who chuckled lightly. Goku's high-pitched giggles could be
heard from inside the machine, " Directions: to start machine, press start button. " Vegeta blinked, then pulled the paper
away to reveal a large red button infront of him on the machine reading "start button". He sweatdropped. Mirai was trying to
stifle his own laughter.
A loud rumble began to come from the ceiling of the machine. Goku looked up at it inquizzatively, then gasped as
buckets of water poured down ontop of him, instantly washing off the several thick layers of mud covering his body. The water
drained from the machine and Goku stepped out through the blinds with a grin on his face, soaked. He looked at Vegeta, then
Mirai and started to shake himself off like a dog would, " Now I'm squeaky clean! " he said happily.
Vegeta and Mirai rolled their eyes, both now soaking wet from the other saiyajin's shaking.
" Yes, good for you. " Vegeta grumbled, " Now give me the soap. "
" Soap? "
" Don't start that again! Just give it to me! " he said, more annoyed.
" Oh...I was supposed to give it BACK to...oops. " Goku said, embarassed.
" Oops? What do you mean "oops"? " Vegeta asked.
" *URP*! " Goku burped, causing a large soap bubble to float out of his mouth and into the air above them.
Mirai's jaw hung open, " You're kidding me? "
The soap bubble floated onto the tip of Vegeta's nose, then popped in his face, " Thank you Kakarrotto, that was a
highlight of my day. " he grumbled.
" Your welcome Veggie! " Goku said, giving the ouji a hug, then burped out several more bubbles. A large smile
crossed Vegeta's face, which was once again a bright red, " Alright Veggie, time to let go! " he said cheerfully, then felt
something yank him.
" Few more seconds. "
" ... "
" ... "
" Oh-kay. " Vegeta said, letting Goku loosen his grip. He made his way towards the microscopes and sat down.
" Veggie want another hug? " Goku asked curiously.
" YES--NO--*SMACK*! " Vegeta slapped himself across the face. Goku blinked, confused, " Let's continue, shall we? "
he said, suddenly calm again.
" Yes little Veggie. " Goku stood beside him contently.
" Now, Kakarrotto I want you to hand me that blueish navy colored thingy on your wrist. " he pointed to them.
" You mean my wristbands? " Goku said, baffled.
" Yes! Hand me one! " Vegeta held his hand out. Goku shrugged and handed over his right wristband. Vegeta placed the
wristband under the microscope.
" Veggie what are you doing? " Goku asked, leaning his elbows down on the table.
" I'm going to show you EXACTLY what your Kako-germs look like. " Vegeta said, adjusting the microscope. He peered
down inside it and screamed, " AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! " Vegeta lept out of his seat.
" What? " Goku said in surprise.
" THEY'RE HIDEIOUS!!!! HIDEIOUS LITTLE GREEN MONSTERS!!! " Vegeta shrieked.
Goku peered down the microscope to see thousands of little green creatures that resembled himself in their heads and
then squiggled off into short little worm-like ends. All of them munching on his wristband.
" Wow, " Goku blinked, " I AM a disease. " he suddenly grinned, " COOL! "
" Hmmph, I told you you were infested with your little Kako-cooties but you never believed me. " Vegeta pushed him
out of the way and observed the tiny creatures, disgusted, " Just look at them! Eating away at that piece of cloth like its
an orderve! The bakayaros! "
" ... " as if on cue every single kako-germ turned their heads upward to face the microscope. A remaining one was
still knawing on the wristband. The one next to it jabbed it with its tail and caused the first one to also glance upward,
wide-eyed.
" ... " Vegeta stared down at them, now feeling slightly awkward at all the gawking eyes, " Umm, hi? "
" **VEGGIE**! " they all squealed at once. Vegeta froze with fear.
" Hey! They know your name too! What a coincidence! " Goku grinned. The little green dots sprang off the wristband
and at the ouji while chanting the word "Veggie".
" AHHHHH!!! KAKARROTTO THEY'RE ATTACKING ME!! " Vegeta screamed, backing up as the dots climbed all over him, " STOP
THEM STOP THEM STOP THEM! GET 'UM OFF GET 'UM OFF!!!! " he wailed, running around the room in a panic.
Goku sweatdropped, " I don't know why, but I feel strangely offended. "
" Hey Veggie? " Goku said as the ouji continued to run around in a circle, his arms flailing wildly.
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! "
" Hey Veggie? "
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! "
" VEGGIE! "
" --KAKARROTTO! " Vegeta cried, grabbing him by the collar and pulling him down to his height, " KAKARROTTO YOU HAVE
TO DO SOMETHING! THEY'RE EATING AWAY AT MY FLESH WITH THEIR LITTLE KAKO-GERMED _FANGS_!!! " he held out his arm. Goku bent
down and squinted his eyes to see the little green dots, who were still happily bouncing around on Vegeta's skin and singing
"Veggie Veggie Veggie" in utter contentment.
Goku smiled, " I dunno, I think they're kinda cute. Like me, only little, green, and squirmy! "
" KAKARROT! You're not HELPING! " Vegeta gritted through his teeth.
" I know that, silly. " Goku laughed at him.
" Well then GET THEM OFF! "
" I can't. " Goku shrugged.
Vegeta froze, " Wha, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T GET THEM OFF! " he yelped.
" Well, they only stick to people they really like. It's kind of hard and pretty painful to tear them away. " the
larger saiyajin explained.
" You mean they LIKE me? " Vegeta said in horror.
Goku chuckled nervously, " Well, yes. "
Vegeta sat down on a nearby chair, " I can't believe your little kako-germs LIKE me. They like me AND they're going
to eat me alive! "
" Not exactly. " Goku responded.
" "Not exactly"? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow, quoting him.
" You see, they don't eat anyone they like. They'll kinda just inhabit you the way they do me. "
Vegeta's eyes widened, " Like FLEAS?! "
" Yeah, like fleas! " Goku grinned.
" KAKO-fleas. " the ouji retched.
" YEAH! "
" Heeheehee! " a tiny, yet somehow familiar giggle sounded from Vegeta's shoulder. He and Goku peered down to see one
of the little green, wiggly Goku-headed germs smiling up at them. It leaned towards the ouji's cheek.
" *SMOOCH*! "
" ...AHHHHHHHH!!! " Vegeta flung his arm back, causing the germ to splat against the wall of the lab. He dashed up
the stairs, screaming his head off.
Goku peered over at the smushed smooching germ, " Poor baby. " he sniffled, then picked it off and brought it to
the lab's bathroom, " I'm sorry it had to *sniff* end this way. " Goku said, his eyes tearing, " I'll miss you! " he squeaked
out, hugging the germ, then dropped it into the toilet and flushed it, " O-WELL! " he said, peppy as ever again, " You win
some you lose some! "
Goku followed the ouji's path upstairs only to find him in the kitchen with a smirk of vengence on his face while
shaking a spray can.
" Veggie! " Goku said with joy, " You're being a good host and you're going to spread some cheez-whiz on yourself for
them to eat! "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " This isn't cheez-whiz you cheese-head! " he said, then let out a little chuckle at himself.
He quickly regained his smirk, " It's FLEA REPELLENT!!! "
" *GASP*! " Goku gasped in terror.
" As soon as I spray this all over my body you can consider your kako-germs DESTROYED! " he laughed maniacally.
" Veggie you can't do that! " Goku cried out, tears welling up in his eyes.
Vegeta grinned, " And why NOT? "
" Cuz they're my babies! " he sobbed.
" Too bad. " Vegeta retorted, shaking the bottle. He quickly opened the top and began to spray it all over himself.
He smiled contently as the little voices of the kako-germs could be heard crying for help.
" Eek! "
" Help! "
" Ahh! "
" Veggie how could you! "
" Easily. " Vegeta answered, snickering. He opened one eye to see two huge teary shimmering ones staring back at him.
" MURDERER! " Goku bawled, pointing at him. " WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! " he cried loudly, running
out of the room.
" ... " Vegeta stood there for a moment, dumbfounded, then paused when he heard a different sound coming from his
shirt, shorts, and limbs.
" *hack*! "
" *cough* *cough*! "
He pulled his right arm up to his face to see dozens of the kako-germs were now in the process of dying from the
repellent, " *cough* *cough* *hack*! "
One of the germs noticed Vegeta and looked up at him with the same expression Goku had just worn, " Oh Veggie! *hack*
how could you do it Veggie! *cough* "
Wide-eyed, Vegeta slowly pulled his arm back down to its side, shocked. The various tiny coughings began to dissipate
. The ouji scratched his head, " That's strange, the screaming stopped. " he looked down at his shirt and shrieked to find
all the little green creatures now laying lifeless on his shirt with big X's for eyes signifying only one thing, " AHHH! I
KILLED THEM!!!! "
" Breathe! Breathe! " a frightened voice from the kitchen cried. Goku got up from infront of the TV and walked over
to find Vegeta down on his knees and pressing something on the floor with his thumbs.
" Veggie, what are you doing? " Goku asked oddly.
" I'm trying to save them! " the ouji said sadly, " Breathe darn you! Breathe! " he looked down at the little green
dots, which had lost their grip on him and were now all laying dead on the floor around the two saiyajin. Vegeta sniffled,
feeling like he had something caught in his throught. He pressed down one more time upon the germ and then burst into tears,
" OHHH!!! MY POOR BABIES!!! GONE FOREVER! " he sobbed over-dramatically.
Goku blinked, confused, " But Veggie, you PURPOSELY killed them. "
" SHUT UP!!! "
The larger saiyajin bent down on the floor next to him and put a hand on the ouji's shoulder, " You know Veggie,
there ARE more "Kaka-germs" other than the ones you killed. " Goku said comfortingly.
" *sniffle* Really? " Vegeta looked up at him.
" Sure. I've got them all over me. I'm their source, 'nember? " he giggled.
" ... "
" ... "
" Veggie why are you looking at me like that? " Goku gulped, now a pale white.
An evil smirk crossed the ouji's face, " Oh Ka-kee, --COME'ERE! " he shouted, then tackled Goku to the ground. He
grabbed several of the big black spikes of hair on Goku's head, " HA! Where are they where are they where are they?? " he
said eagerly, shuffling his hands through the hair, but for no result. The pouty expression on Vegeta's face turned to one of
anger, " WHERE ARE THEY!!!! "
" Hopefully somewhere far away by now. " Goku said flatly, sweatdropping.
Vegeta jumped off of the large saiyajin and got him in a headlock, " KAKARROTTO YOU BETTER TELL ME WHERE YOU PUT THEM
RIGHT NOW!!! "
" VEH-GEE! " Goku whined, " I didn't put them anywhere! YOU scared them off! " he pointed to a large mound of the
little green dots that was sitting nervously nearby. The ouji grinned happily, letting go of his big buddy, " MY BABIES! "
he squealed w/big sparkily eyes, " Oh! They're so cute! "
" This from the guy who just killed half of them. " Goku sweatdropped.
Vegeta bent down on the floor infront of them, " Hello little kaka-germs! Did you miss me? " he said sweetly.
" ... "
" ... "
" *VEGGIE*!! " they squealed happily.
Goku's jaw dropped to the floor. Vegeta looked over his shoulder at the large saiyajin and blew a raspberry in his
direction.
" VEGGIE! VEGGIE! VEGGIE! VEGGIE! " the little green dots chanted as they hopped onto Vegeta's body. The small
saiyajin grinned and happily skipped off, whistling to himself. Goku hung his head as he felt an ominous cloud of doom hang
over his head.
He looked down at himself, " ...suddenly it feels very quiet down here... "
Vegeta sat on the living room couch, stuffing his face with popcorn, " Ahh, heeheehee! " he chuckled down at the
little green dots bouncing around him.
" Veggie? "
He looked up to see Goku staring down at him, his eyes bloodshot, " Yeeess? " he said joyfully.
" ...I WANT MY COOTIES BACK!!! " Goku screamed in his face.
Vegeta shrugged casually, " I can't help it if your little Kako-germs ADORE me more than they ever could you. "
" WHAT?! " Goku shrieked.
" Aren't they cute? " he held some up in his hands.
" *VEGGIE* *VEGGIE* *VEGGIE*! " they all chanted in their sweet-sounding little voices.
" OOH! WHADDA YOU MEAN THEY LIKE YOU BETTER THAN ME! _I_ MADE THEM!! " Goku exclaimed, tensing up.
Vegeta smiled back at him, " WHO are they residing on? WHO'S name are they chanting? WHO are they building a little
cootie community on? "
Goku looked down sadly, " You, Veggie. "
" HA! I rest my case! " Vegeta said proudly.
Goku sat down next to him, " Please Veggie! I really want my germs back! " he pleaded, " My body feels so lonely
without them. It's so cold. " he shivered.
Vegeta looked over at him sympathetically, then shook it off, " Well I-- "
" Hmm? " Goku leaned towards him, whimpering.
" --I CAN'T! " he shouted.
" Huh? "
" I can't! Kakarrotto, do you have any idea what these things do? " he asked intently.
" Umm, " Goku thought, " Well, they make me feel all warm-n-gooey inside when I'm happy. " he smiled.
" EXACLTY! "
" ...I don't get it. " Goku blinked.
" Of COURSE you don't get it! That's because you have this "warm-n-gooey" feeling inside you 24/7! You have no idea
how to fully appreciate these little things! Look! " he pulled one of his gloves off and put one of the kako-germs in his
hand, then rubbed it with his other hand, " Watch closely. " he said. Goku peeked inbetween Vegeta's hands. The little green
germ smiled contently and started to turn pink. In turn the spot on Vegeta's hand it was sitting on began to glow bright
red until his whole hand was also glowing.
" Wow Veggie that is amazing! I didn't know they could do that! " Goku said, surprised.
" Yes, well, Kakarrotto? "
" Yeah Veggie? "
" Do you think you could, uhh, take it off before it starts spreading to my arm? " he chuckled nervously. Goku fell
to the ground, animé style.
" GAHH! VEGGIE! " he got up and picked it up off Vegeta's hand, which slowly faded back to its normal coloring,
" You mean, THESE are what's been changing your face red all this time? "
" Probably. " Vegeta shrugged, patting one of the other germs on the head.
" But, if it's just a chemical reaction by my little cooties, then that means, that it's not because you love me
after all? " tears started to well up in his eyes.
" Nuh--no--Kaka--that's not it! I-- " Vegeta stuttered, the little green germs all instantly turned pink, causing him
to glow bright red.
" IT IS!! IT IS!! " Goku wailed, backing up for the front door, which flew open, " YOU ONLY LOVED ME FOR MY
COOTIES!! " he bawled, pushing past the figure in the doorway and running out into the street, then teleported away.
Bulma blinked in confusion as she stood in the doorway, " What was THAT all about?! " she said, holding a grocery
bag. She turned to Vegeta, who had a look of pure devistation on his face, yet was still glowing bright red.
" I just broke Kaka-chan's heart into a billion little pieces! " he painfully cried out, then flopped onto the couch
and buried his face in a pillow, sobbing.
Bulma sweatdropped, " Well, another wonderful day at Capsule Corperation....hoo-boy.... "
" WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE DOESN'T "LOVE YOU"?! " Chi-Chi gawked as Goku lay under the sheets of his bed, crying loudly.
" Veggie only loved me cuz my cooties get his Veggie-mind hypothetically DRUNK! " Goku said, poking his head out from
under the sheets. He pulled it back in again.
Chi-Chi stared at the bed sheets skeptically, " Goku, if there's one thing I know about that evil little ouji that is
utterly and completely true, it's that--ugh, " she sat down beside him and pulled the sheets off his head, " --it's that he
loves you--in his own odd little ouji-ish way--but still. He cares too much about you, unfortunately, to leave well enough
alone and go on with his life. So what if the only reason his face turns red is solely based on some chemical reaction!
Who cares! And I think you should go apologize to him before he comes over here and over-dramatically tries to sweep you off
your feet to some far off land with him as HIS apology. "
Goku looked up at her in disbelief, " Veggie'd never do that for me... " he said in a small voice, " BECAUSE NOW I
KNOW HE NEVER REALLY LOVED ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!! OH LITTLE VEH-GEEEE! " Goku grabbed his pillow and hugged it tightly.
" Go-chan? " she said, conserned.
" Yes Chi-chan? " Goku responded sadly.
" Look over here at me for a moment. "
" Oh-kay. " he said. Chi-Chi put her hand on his forehead.
" That's strange, you look pale. " Chi-Chi said, worried.
" Missing Go-cooties, body feels tired...and cold....and lonely. " tears welled up in his eyes. " Missing Veggie,
missing germs, missing lotsa thi--ZzzZZzz... " Goku collapsed onto his pillow, falling asleep.
" That's it. We're going to the Ouji's. NOW. " Chi-Chi said, pulling him out of bed.
" Chi-chan I don't wanna *yawn* go to Veggie's...he doesn't care about me. " Goku said sleepily. Chi-Chi looked at
the pale, almost light green tint on Goku's face.
" You don't look well, at least we can stop at the lab so Bulma can take a look at you. " she said as she placed him
in the passager's seat in their car.
" The lab? " Goku looked at her curiously, " I gave little Veggie our last "buddy-hug" in the lab... " he bit his
lip, waiting to start crying again.
Chi-Chi started the car, " OH SUCK IT UP YOU BIG BABY! Do you want help or not! I swear if I didn't know better I'd
say I was doing that Ouji a favor right now! "
Goku smiled weakly, " Maybe you are... "
" *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*! ALRIGHT OUJI-BOY! OPEN UP! " Chi-Chi shouted as she and Goku stood infront of the door to
Capsule Corp.
" ... "
" OUJI!!! " she kicked the door open only to have a huge glop of red paint splatter all over her face, " ARRGH! "
Chi-Chi rubbed her eyes, then looked up and gawked at the sight before her.
" HI ONNA! HI KAKAY! " Vegeta stood before them with a big Son Goku grin on his face. He was wearing a white,
paint-splattered smock overtop his usual training gear. The entire living room was splattered with red, green, blue, and
yellow paint. There was a large canvas in the middle of the room with a big messy fingerpainting on it.
" Veh--Veh--Veh-WHAT ARE YOU UP TO!! " Chi-Chi sputtered, then glared down at him.
" Nothin. " he said cheerfully, then leaned to the side where Goku was, " Hey, Kakay. I knew you'd come back for
me! " the ouji chuckled.
" *whimper*. " Goku looked down sadly.
" Aww, you're not still mad, are you Kakay? " Vegeta stared at him blankly.
" No, just kind of depressed. " Chi-Chi said in distaste, then froze as Vegeta reached around and gave Goku a hug.
" I'm sorry Kakay. " he said sadly, then smiled up at him contently, " You've made me very happy though, letting me
have your Kaka-germs. "
" I....ah....I.... " Goku stuttered, what was left of his brain feeling like it had just been turned to mush. He
turned to Chi-Chi for an answer, only to have her shriek at him. He blinked, confused.
" AHHHH!! GO-CHAN!!! " Chi-Chi screeched, pointing at his face.
" My....face? " Goku blinked, then looked down at the smiling ouji who was still hugging him. Vegeta pointed to his
own face in agreement. The larger saiyajin looked around the room in search of a mirror as Chi-Chi fumbled through her purse
for her compact one. She pulled it out and stuck it infront of Goku.
" GO-CHAN YOUR FACE!!! " Chi-Chi shouted. Goku looked at his reflection in shock, " YOU'RE _GLOWING_!!! "
Goku gawked at the little compact mirror. His own face was now glowing bright red, " But, that's impossible!! " he
sweated.
" YOU SHOULDN'T BE GLOWING!!! THAT'S A OUJI-TRAIT GOKU!! NOT ONE OF YOURS!!! " Chi-Chi said, worried. She then
noticed Vegeta still hugging the bigger saiyajin and pushed him away. The glow quickly faded from Goku's face. He wiped his
forehead with his arm, relieved.
" Little Veggie's "kaka-germs" are making him act funny. " Goku concluded.
" Aww, don't worry about it Kakay! I feel GREAT! " Vegeta cheered.
" Say Ouji, what's with all the finger-paints? " Chi-Chi asked, suspicous. She picked up a container of fingerpaints.
" Well, after Kakarrotto-chan left I was feeling pretty bad, but for some odd reason I thought to cheer myself up
again somehow. So I asked myself, now what's the most fun thing you could do by yourself? And then I got it! FINGERPAINTS! "
he grinned widely.
" ... " Goku scratched his head.
" Fingerpaints? " Chi-Chi said flatly.
" Yeah! Isn't it incredible! It's like something burst inside of me screaming for me to cut loose and do something
fun for a change! " Vegeta said, taking the container from her.
" But, isn't "training" fun too? " Goku said, confused.
" Well...in its own way. I was going to train to try and get my mind off of missing you, but then I realized that the
sole purpose I'm training is to beat you anyway so if I did that I'd still have you on the brain. "
" So you decided to play "artist" and fingerpaint instead. " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow.
" Well, yeah. " Vegeta shrugged, then smiled at Goku, " Kakay wanna fingerpaint with his little buddy? "
" Sure Veggie! " Goku said happily.
" You're glowing again, Kaka-chan. " the ouji smirked.
" Huh? " Goku grabbed Chi-Chi's mini-mirror & looked in it, " AHH! " he yelped, then slapped himself across the face
a couple times.
" What are you doing THAT for! " Chi-Chi said, frightened.
" This *slap* is how Veggie *slap* usually gets *slap* this red stuff to *slap* go away. " Goku bit his lip in pain
from the slapping.
" Goku you stop that right now or you'll smack your head clear off your shoulders! " she warned. He sighed and
stopped. Vegeta suddenly left the room and returned carrying a bucket of water.
" Bend down, Kakarrotto. " he ordered. Goku willingly did so, only to be drenched in water by the buckey.
" HEY! VEH-GEE! " he whined, his head now soaked.
" Better now? " Vegeta snickered, holding up the mirror. Goku's skin was now back it its normal peachy tone.
" Uhh, yeah. Thanks...Veggie. " the large saiyajin responded, not knowing exactly what to say. He sighed, " My own
germs are working against me..ohhhhhhh! " Goku sweatdropped.
" Here Kakarrotto, I'll take the yellow and green paints and you can have blue and red, since you seem to like those
colors so much. " Vegeta giggled evilly.
Chi-Chi snarled at the ouji, " OOH I OUTTA!!! "
" YAY! " Goku cheered, dunking his hands in the paint, the left in the blue and the right in the red. He smushed each
hand on either of Vegeta's cheeks, then pulled them away and wrote "little buddy" in blue paint on the ouji's forehead,
" Heeheehee! This IS fun Veggie. " he giggled.
" ...I meant paint on the CANVAS, not ME YOU KNUCKLEHEAD!!! " Vegeta barked at him.
" Veggie can be MY canvas! " the large saiyajin grinned.
" ...heh-heh, heh... " Vegeta's face started to glow bright red, the kako-germs on his body glowing pink, " My God
that was sweet of you... " he laughed nervously.
" Goku go paint the other side of the canvas. " Chi-Chi said, annoyed at the ouji.
" But I wanna paint WITH Veggie. " Goku pouted.
" WELL YOU'RE NOT!....BECAUSE HE'S EVIL!!! "
" I didn't even ask why. " Goku said, baffled.
" TOO BAD! " she snapped.
" Chi-chan seems to have gotten very tense very fast. " Goku rubbed his chin, worried.
" That's only because I now hold the POWER over ALL YOUR EMOTIONS!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! " Vegeta laughed
maniacally.
" ...what? " Goku did a double-take.
" Uh, nothing. " he mumbled, then turned the other way. Chi-Chi glared at Vegeta and walked Goku over to the opposite
side of the canvas.
" You know Onna, opposites attract. " Vegeta said sneakily.
" EVIL LITTLE-- " Chi-Chi started.
" Hahaha! If that's true then Veggie & Chi-chan should be best friends by now. Hahahaha! " Goku laughed happily.
" I COULD NEVER BE FRIENDS WITH HIM HE'S EVIL! "
" I COULD NEVER BE FRIENDS WITH HER SHE'S EVIL! " they both shouted in unison, then froze, turned to one another &
growled, furious.
Goku started to fingerpaint on the paper, then quickly slowed down until he was at almost as sluggish a state as when
he first got to Capsule Corp, " Ohhhhhhhh... "
" Goku, are you alright? Does it hurt? " Chi-Chi gulped, worried about him.
" Goku wants his germies back... " he said, his eyes glazed over.
" What? But you were fine just a minute ago! " she exclaimed.
" *A-HEM* " Vegeta made an attention getting cough.
" Whadda you want? " Chi-Chi said flatly.
" I seem to have found the problem. " Vegeta chuckled lightly, then walked over to Goku and grabbed part of his gi,
causing some of the blood flow and color to return to Goku's face.
" Hey Veggie how'd you do that? " Goku asked, his pep returned.
" Yes "Veggie", how DID you do that? " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow.
" You see Onna, Kakarrot's little "Kako-germs" do more than just cause my face to glow brighter than a 120watt bulb,
they also supply him with ample "happy energy". A special kind of chi that makes him as pestably peppy and annoyingly sweet
as he is everyday. The little buggers have now retreated to a more nobel home, moí, and cause a small yet similar effect in
yours truely. By merely touching Kakarrot's clothing the germs sense their creator's presense and bolt out "happy energy" to
his body. " Vegeta explained, " Making me sort of like his, battery recharger, if you know what I mean. "
" Oh, " Chi-Chi said, impressed, " In that case...YOU BETTER GIVE GOKU HIS COOTIES BACK RIGHT NOW OR I'M GONNA POUND
THEM RIGHT OUT OF YOUR MISERABLE OUJI BODY!!! "
" Hmm, we'll just have to ask the little kako-germs who they'd rather live on. " Vegeta said proudly, then looked
down at himself, " Oh little kaka-cooties? Who wants to stay and live with Veggie? " he asked sweetly. Chi-Chi almost puked.
" ME ME ME ME!!! " they all chanted at once.
" HA! I rest my case. " Vegeta said smoothly.
" But, but, but, I NEED THEM!!! " Goku begged.
" You need ME, you mean. " he grinned.
" HE'LL DIE BEFORE HE _NEEDS YOU_ OUJI!!! " Chi-Chi threatened him.
" *fake-sniffle* Is that TRUE, Kaka-chan? " Vegeta sniffled at him w/big sparkily eyes.
" Ohhhhh... "
" DON'T LOOK AT HIM GOKU!! CLOSE YOUR EYES!!! COVER THEM WITH YOUR HANDS!! " Chi-Chi shouted at him.
" Veggie so sweet-n-little. " Goku said, feeling his cheeks barely begin to glow.
" Of course I am Kakarrotto. " Vegeta smirked, rubbing the underside of his nose, " Aren't I just cute enough to
hug? " he questioned, then yelped as something grabbed him.
" OH LITTLE VEGGIE YES YOU ARE!!! " Goku squealed, hugging him tightly. Vegeta gasped for air.
Vegeta pulled Goku's vise-like grip off his body and lept down. He took a deep breath and sighed with relief. He
glanced over at Chi-Chi, who was now in a defensive stance she had taught Goten and was ready to attack the short prince.
" Say, Kakay. How would you like me to paint you? " Vegeta asked innocently.
" WOW! REALLY VEGGIE? " Goku gasped with excitement, " I've always wanted to be painted! "
" Have you? Well, I guess this is your lucky day. " Vegeta said, climbing the paint-stained stairs to his room.
" YAY! PAINTING WITH VEGGIE! " Goku cheered, dashing up after him.
" NO YOU'RE NOT!!! " Chi-Chi screamed, " Goku come down here right now! We're going home!!! "
" Oh-kay Chi-chan. " Goku shrugged, turning around, only to have something grab him by the collar.
" You wouldn't want to get all sickly and depressed again, would you Kakay? " Vegeta hugged him, " If you wanna keep
your body happy you have to keep it healthy. And you can't keep it healthy without your kaka-germs. And you can't have your
kaka-germs without ME. So isn't it just logical to come upstairs so I can paint you? "
" ...Veggie's got a point Chi-chan. " Goku nodded.
" AAUGH!!!! " Chi-Chi was almost ready to rip her own hair out, " GOKU! YOU CAN MAKE MORE GERMS! NOW COME HERE! "
" NO! No I can't! " Goku said in a panic, " I need at least one germ in order for them to multiply, and Veggie has
ALL of them....all the remaining ones anyway. He killed the first batch. "
" WHAT! " she screamed, " IF HE KILLED HALF YOUR GERMS ALREADY HOW CAN YOU TRUST HIM WITH THE OTHER HALF!! "
" Easy. Veggie cares about my cooties now, Chi-chan. And even though they enjoy living off him more than they do me
Veggie is trying his best to take good care of them and keep me happy at the same time. " Goku explained while Vegeta stood
behind him making faces at Chi-Chi.
" Oh I'll take care of him alright. " Chi-Chi grumbled, making a fist.
" I'm sure you will. " Vegeta replied, slightly stunning Chi-Chi, who was unaware he could hear her, " But right now
I have something, err, someone to take care of right now. " he said, opening the door to his room, " Go on in Kakay, I have
plenty of extra paints inside just for you. "
" Whee! " Goku whee-ed, zipping inside the bedroom. Vegeta and Chi-Chi stared each other down.
" Don't think that the minute you close that door on me that I won't come running up to beat the living daylights out
of you with it. " Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at Vegeta.
" Tsk tsk tsk, is that ANY WAY to speak to Kakarrotto-chan's sole life source? I think not. " Vegeta snickered.
" YOU'RE NO "LIFESOURCE" YOU'RE A THIEF AND YOU KNOW IT! "
" A thief! " Vegeta fake-gasped, " Oh how horrible a thought *sniffle* I might have to go cry upon Kakay's shoulder
for THAT one. "
" ERRRRRRRR... "
" Now, if you'll excuse me Onna, I have a masterpiece to finger-paint. " Vegeta casually strolled into his room and
shut the door, then poked his head out, blew a raspberry at her, and slammed the door shut again.
" AAARRGHH! VEGETA!!! " Chi-Chi roared, rumbling up the stairs. She grabbed the doorknob and twisted it left to
right, " OOH! UNLOCK THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW YOU LITTLE OUJI OR I SWEAR I'LL-- "
" *BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeee* " a bright red light glowed violently through the creases of the door, sending her
flying back and onto the ground. Chi-Chi blinked as the light slowed down to a steady beam.
" What is that? " she blinked just as a horrible thought hit her, " BLUSHING! " Chi-Chi yelped, then started to
pound on the door, " GOKU! GOKU YOU OPEN THIS DOOR FOR YOUR CHI-CHAN! DON'T YOU HURT HIM OUJI!! YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE!! "
she screamed, then looked around frantically for a weapon when another thought hit her, " The flametorcher! " she ran
down the stairs and towards the lab, " I'LL BE RIGHT BACK GO-CHAN! DON'T YOU WORRY YOUR CHI-CHAN'S GONNA SAVE YOU YET! "
she shouted up at the door, then gulped, " I hope... "

END OF PART ONE
Chuquita: And so ends Part One.
Vegeta: (musing) The Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ouji, MASTER of all kako-germs. Heh-heh-heh. I like that.
Chuquita: Actually there's an ironic twist in the beginning of Part 2.
Vegeta: You haven't written Part 2 yet.
Chuquita: Yes, but it's in my head.
Goku: [peering in Chu's ear] Where? I don't see anything?
Vegeta: (snickers) There's a surprise.
Chuquita: (sweatdrop) I swear you just set him up Son-kun.
Goku: I did? Sorry.
Chuquita: (shakes her head at Son) Do you mind changing into something a little more decent Son-San? That costume is so
wrong.
Vegeta: Yes Kakarrot, you look, so--umm? (tries to think of a word)
Goku: (grin) Stunning?
Vegeta: Stupid!
Goku: (pouts) Aww. [gets up] Well it's not MY fault. I'm not the one who dragged me into the Costume Department and said
"that's a pretty outfit isn't it Kakarrotto"? (grumbles as he walks off stage) Besides-- [burst back into the Corner, now
wearing an outfit similar to the chiquita banana girl] (happy) IT HAS NO FLAVOR!!! YAI YAI YAI!
[Chu and Veggie sweatdrop]
Chuquita: Well....at least it's brighter.
Vegeta: Tell me Kakarrot, how many colors are on that costume that DON'T exist.
Goku: (giggles) [sits down] Veggie like my new outfit?
Vegeta: (glowing bright red) Yuh, yeah Kakay, it's, nice...
Goku: (observing the ouji) Hmm...
Vegeta: ........what?
Goku: Veggie's shirt looks funny, try this one on! [holds up a brightly colored hawaiian t-shirt]
Vegeta: (offended) ARE YOU SAYING MY CURRENT SHIRT LOOKS STUPID!!! [hugs at his pink shirt]
Goku: I said it looks funny.
Vegeta: But you also implied it's stupid! Right? RIGHT!
Goku: (sad) I'm sorry Veggie, I didn't know you liked your lil pink shirt so much.
Vegeta: (embarassement) I DON'T LIKE IT YOU BAKAYARO! IT'S JUST--uh--comfortable! Yeah, it's very comfortable.
Goku: Really? (big cheesy grin) Can _I_ try it on then?
Vegeta: NO!!! It wouldn't fit over your tremendous body anyway.
Chuquita: Veggie is right, you are a big person Son-kun, you understand.
Goku: I know...so? Are we gonna have dance time or what?
Chuquita: (blinks, confused) Huh? OH! I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THAT! (smiles) Sure Son, let's start.
Goku: YAY! (snaps fingers; "Tango" music instantly fills the room) [holds out his hand to Veggie] Veggie come dance with me!
Vegeta: (stares at Son's hand) (shouts up at the ceiling) NEVER!
Goku: (whiney) Aww! Come on Veggie! (giggles) You know wanna dance with me!
Vegeta: I DO NOT!!
Chuquita: Yeah, go on Veggie, dance with your big buddy.
Vegeta: (glares at her) Don't you DARE stick your nose into this Chu! I don't see YOU getting up and doing anything!
Chuquita: (frowns) I hate dancing.
Vegeta: (enraged) THEN WHY DID YOU--
Chuquita: (grins) But I enjoy watching you do it.
Vegeta: (snorts) [sits down] Well if you don't have to get up then I'm not either!
Goku: (teasingly) Veggie is a wallflower! Veggie is a wallflower!
Vegeta: (grabs Son's hand and drags him infront of the desk) I AM NOT! (grumbles) Now let's get this stupid thing over with!
....how do you do this stupid thing anyway?
Goku: (loudly) IT'S _EASY_!!! [stuffs one of the roses from before in Veggie's mouth]
Vegeta: (yelps) AHH!! [spits it out into his hand and then screams again] THE PAIN! THE PAIN! THE SPIKEY PAIN!!!
Goku: Silly Veggie, you don't hold it in your mouth, you hold it in your teeth! [points to his own teeth]
Vegeta: (paranoid) OH! So now you want to poke holes in THEM TOO!
Goku: (sweatdrops)
Chuquita: Moron.
Vegeta: I SAID STAY OUT OF THIS ONNA!
Chuquita: (offended) HEY! WHO YOU CALLING AN ONNA!
Vegeta: I don't see any other onnas around here, unless you count KAKARROT!
Goku: (confused) Is that a compliment?
Chuquita: Umm, sure.
Goku: WHOOPEE! Veggie come dance with me now!
Vegeta: [holds the rose sideways in his mouth] (to Chu) Chu, if I dance this once with Kakarrot, can I change back into my
regular clothes and blast this blasted flower into oblivion?
Chuquita: Yep. [pulls out her camera] You complete this requested task and I let you go free...
Vegeta: *WHEW*!
Chuquita: Until we get to the other dances that is.
Vegeta: OTHER dances?! (gulps)
Chuquita: You got it.
Vegeta: Uhh, Kaka--WAHH! [Son dips, then spins Veggie off into the audiance where he crashes through several rows of seats]
Ohhhhhhhhh, the pain....
Goku: (happily) Dancing with Veggie is fun!
Chuquita: (sweadrops) I'm sure it is.
