The clock ticked and tocked on the wall of Bulma's lab. They were done wrapping Vegeta-Neko up, and now they were waiting for Goku to arrive.

"When's he gonna get here!?" Trunks exclaimed in the silence.

"I don't know. It's been almost two hours since we talked... I would've thought he'd be here by now." Bulma said, with concern in her voice.

"Nice owner he is..."

"Trunks! Don't say that!"

Trunks looked down at his feet. "Sorry..."

Then all of a sudden the lab door flew open. A figure standing in the light at the top of the stairs that led down to the lab. "VEGGIE-KITTYYYYYYYYY!!!!!" It was Goku. He ran down the stairs and up to Vegeta-Neko's side. "OH MY KAMI YOU'RE HURT SO BADLY!!" he cried. He looked over at Bulma. "When will he wake up!?" he asked her.

"I have no clue, Goku.. He could wake up in hours, or he could wake up in minutes. I have no idea how much pain he's in, but I can bet he's in a lot..." the blue-haired woman replied.

"My poor kitty... I should've taken you home yesterday..." he walked over to Bulma and hugged her... "WAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" ...leaning and crying on her shoulder.

"There...there...G..oku.." she patted him on the back.

"Uh, guys?" Trunks called.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

"Guys.?"

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

"GUYS!!??!"

"WAAAAAAAAAAA--- Nani?" Goku stopped crying, but his cheeks were all soggy.

"Dad's awake."

"VEGETA!!" Bulma squealed and ran over to the hospital bed the laid Vegeta-Neko down on.

"Purrr..." Vegeta-Neko purred at the site of Bulma.

"VEGGIE-KITTY!!!" Goku cried and ran to Vegeta-Neko's side also.

"PUURRRRR!!!" Vegeta-Neko purred even louder at the site of Goku. .::MASTER KAKARROTTO!!! He's here!! He's here!!::.

Trunks walked slowly up the stairs. .::I'll leave them alone for now..::. He said to himself, and went out the door, leaving it open so none of the people down there knew he had left.

"Mreow!" Vegeta-Neko meowed at Goku. .::Pick me up Master Kakarrotto!::.

"Aww..." Even though Goku didn't know what Vegeta-Neko had said, he picked Vegeta-Neko up. .::Wow, Master Kakarrotto doesn't know Neko... Lucky guess I guess!::.

Bulma turned around to say something to Trunks, but she didn't see him. "Where'd he go?" she looked around but didn't see him. She blinked, and shrugged it off.

"Let's go get some food, kitten!" Goku said to Vegeta-Neko, petting his head.

"Purrrrr!" Vegeta-Neko purred at Goku touch.

A few hours passed and they had eaten some breakfast. Vegeta-Neko obviously had cat food. Bulma had some french toast, and Goku had 5 eggs, scrambled, 10 pieces of bacon, 4 pieces of toast, and 7 glasses of orange juice.

Vegeta-Neko finished his food, and hopped down onto the floor. "ROW!!" he screamed when he landed. Goku and Bulma looked over to Vegeta-Neko. He had tears running down his face. "Veggie...Kitty..?" Goku questioned.

"Oh Vegeta, I forgot to tell you, you can't land on you feet or legs hardly because you might brake them." She said, a small smile on her face. Vegeta-Neko was death glaring her from the other side of the room as he walked out, limpingly.

"Will Veggie-Kitty be okay?" Goku asked Bulma with slight concern.

Bulma sighed "Yes Goku, he will." she replied. Goku grinned.

Later that day, near noon, Goku was playing with Vegeta-Neko in the back yard of Capsule Co.

"99... 100! Ready or not! Here I come!" Goku went off in search of Vegeta-Neko in a game of Hide-n-Seek.

Vegeta-Neko hid up in a tree at the very top branch. He kitty-giggled when Goku looked up the tree and didn't see him.

Hours later, Goku had givin up, and Vegeta-Neko had to show himself. Then they heard Bulma calling for Vegeta-Neko. Vegeta-Neko's ears perked up when he heard his name.

"VEGETA!!! COME HERE NOW!!! I'VE BEEN CALLING YOU FOR OVER FIVE MINUTES!!!" She screamed. Vegeta-Neko slumped back over to the house to see what she wanted.

He walked into the backdoor, Goku right behind him, and got bombarded by Trunks, Bulma, and Bulla. He couldn't scream because Trunks had his hand over his mouth so he wouldn't bite anyone.

"What are you doing to my kitty....!?" Goku questioned as he saw what was happening.

"We're gonna give 'im a bath." Replied Trunks. Vegeta-Neko's eyes jumped out of their sockets. Vegeta-Neko didn't like baths at all. His fur would get all soggy and his whiskers would droop, and his tail takes forever to dry. (AN: He has a little fur, sorta like SSJ4, and whiskers.)

Vegeta-Neko shook his head rapidly. He didn't want to take a bath! But he had to, he smelled like rotten fish. "Vegeta, you have to!" Started Bulma "You smell like rotten fish!" (AN: See? -snicker-) But Vegeta-Neko didn't care. Heck, he liked the smell. Goku watched as they hauled Vegeta-Neko off to the bathroom. He soon followed.

"Now.. We just have to get him in the tub..." Bulma said, as the tub filled with water. Vegeta-Neko's eyes grew 5 times larger as he saw all the water going in the tub.

.::This should be interesting...::. Goku thought to himself as the tub filled up.

"Okay, it's done. Give him here." Bulma said to Trunks, motioning for him to put Vegeta in the tub.

...And after half an hour they got him in.


Chi: And so, the next chapter will be about the bath. Nyahaha.

Vegeta: Greeeaaat...

Chi: ...-sweatdrops- It's not THAT bad.. -starts writing chap 4-... Heh.. -snigger-.
