Quote of the Week-from Budoukai 3
Brolli: (storms up to Goku's house and knocks on the door) Kakarrot...KAKARROT!
Chi-Chi: (answers door) Be quiet..! For goodness sake! Do you really need to yell that loud right outside our door!
Now whatever it is you're selling, you just go peddle it somewhere else, Mister! We don't want any!
Brolli: Errrrr...UUYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! (lundges at her)
Chi-Chi: (smacks him over the head with a frying pan) ▫PONG▫
▫huge explosion▫
(Goku's house is now tiny pieces inside a crater, Chi-Chi is nowhere to be seen)
Brolli: (snarls) Kakarrot...

Chuey's Corner:
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) I don't know whether to cheer in victory or cower in blood-curdling horror.
Chuquita: (grins) We MADE IT!
Goku: HOORAY FOR US! (toots little horn)
Chuquita: (happy-tears) I can't believe it! Fic 100! We actually made it to Fic 100!
Goku: (excitedly) Triple-digits, Veggie!
Vegeta: (nervous laugh) Ah, hahaha...
Chuquita: Veggie's just a little worried about what happens to him in this fic. (pats Veggie on the back) But don't worry Veggie! You'll be oh-kay!
Vegeta: (shifts around uneasily)
Goku: Yeah Veggie! I shall save my little Veggie from anyone or thing that wishes to do Veggie harm. (picks Veggie up and glomps him tightly)
Vegeta: Eep! (flushes red)
Chuquita: OH-KAY! (to audiance) For those who don't know-
Vegeta: (sweatdrops between flushing) -how could they not! You and Kakarrotto have been gushing about it for MONTHS now!
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) -ah...anyway! Fic 100 is our super-big and super-planned out super-special!
Goku: (nods contently) Mmm-hmm!
Chuquita: (smiles) It's also one of the few that reaches PG-13. This one for some battle-related violence, a few scenes,
and probably one or two curse words.
Vegeta: That doesn't seem like much to afford PG-13.
Chuquita: There's also 3 different versions of a single climax scene later on in the story. I'll have to see how brave I am
by the time I get that far though. (nods)
Vegeta: (blinks) What's that supposed to mean?
Goku: (musing) It feels like only yesterday we started "Veggienapped".
Chuquita: Ah, everything was so different back then...
Vegeta: (twitches) Would you two stop reminiscing and tell me what you're implying by that climax of yours!
Chuquita: (grins) Hee can't do that Veggie!
Goku: (chirps) Because that would be a spoiler!
Chuquita: There's several climaxes actually. (happily) And now without further ado! INTRODUCING FIC 100!
Goku: YAY! HAHA! (glomps onto Veggie)
Vegeta: Ulp! (face flushes bright red)

Summary: Oh Veggie, where are you? One night Vegeta mysteriously disappears, and Goku senses something is terribly wrong. While its thought that the ouji has may have gone out into space to purchase a Veggietine's Day gift for his favorite peasant, several of the group begin to have doubts, especially when they're unable to contact Vegeta at all. There's something disturbing about the ouji vanishing, and when Turles discovers Vegeta's been kidnapped; everyone fears for the worst. Who would possibly be powerful enough to kidnap someone as strong as Vegeta? And how will they find him even when his ki itself is undetectable by Kaio-sama? To what lengths would Goku go to get his Veggie back, and is he capable of breaking the rules to do so?

" ▫YAAWWWN▫. " Vegeta sat on the edge of his bed, watching tv. The clock read 11:34pm and he just didn't feel like
going to sleep. Normally he always had trouble getting to sleep unless he had over-trained in the gravity room, but this time
something was different, though he wasn't quite sure what. Vegeta instead was staying awake simply because he wanted to.
And so the little ouji had decided he'd find a way to entertain himself until he was unable to keep his eyes open.
" ▫Beep▫beep▫beep▫beep▫ ▫beep▫beep▫beep▫beep▫. "
" The microwave? " Vegeta recognized the sound. He hopped out of bed and left his room, stepping out into the hallway
and then quietly making his way downstairs. The small saiyajin sniffed the air, " Smells like, turkey. " he got to the
bottom step. It was then Vegeta sensed the ki in kitchen and headed inside.
" Hi Veggie. " Goku chirped, standing partially bent over before the stand the microwave sat on. The door to the
microwave was open and the larger saiyajin had one hand inside. He was poking what looked like a turkey leg, " Care to join
in on my midnight snack? " he smiled warmly.
" Ah... " Vegeta blinked, confused with a flush mark over his nose, " Kakarrotto why are in my kitchen almost 5
hours past your curfew in your pajamas and eating leftovers from thanksgiving which I never ended up cooking in the first
place? "
" Well, I was hungry? " the larger saiyajin smiled cheesily and put his hand behind his head. Goku was wearing a
pair of blue pajamas and Vegeta was in his black boxers with orange slippers.
Vegeta cocked an eyebrow in suspicion.
" Actually.. " Goku took the turkey leg out; the limb clearly had been ripped right off the uncooked bird; Vegeta
suspected the rest of it was sitting in its probably-by-now messily ripped open bag in the freezer. While the larger saiyajin
did look unusually alert for what time it was, the fact that the only edible scent in the room came from the leg suggested
this was all Goku planned on eating. He sat down on one of the kitchen chairs, " ...I came here cuz I was worried about my
Veggie. "
The ouji sweatdropped, " Worried about..me? " he looked confused, then walked infront of Goku, " Kakarrotto, you
don't have to worry about me. Afterall, " Vegeta puffed his chest out with pride, " I am the great and powerful saiyajin
no ouji! It is MY duty to protect you; among my other subjects. "
" Hahaha. " Goku laughed, amused, " Veggie's always so good at making me feel better. "
" Heh. " Vegeta sat down in his own chair, next to the one Goku occupied, " So...you just randomly woke up and
decided to pay me a visit then? Make sure I'm still breathing? " he chuckled.
Goku's smile fell, " ...I had another nightmare, Veggie. " he stared at the little ouji, and it was then Vegeta
noticed how tired the larger saiyajin looked. Goku still had traces of nervous sweat on his forehead and arms, " I was afraid
that if I didn't make it in time something horrible would happen to you. " Goku's stare became more intense and Vegeta
shifted uncomfortable under his gaze. He felt any moment now Goku would lundge at him while he was half-naked and hold on
just long enough for a few kaka-germs to somehow find their way into his body.
:At least if he does he's got a shirt on: Vegeta sweatdropped, finding a bit of slight, disturbed comfort in that
thought. The ouji held his hands up as if that would prevent any thoughts of long warm hugs from entering Goku's mind,
" Kakarrotto nothing is going to happen to me, of that I can assure you. " he tried to regain control over his nervousness,
" Afterall, you and I are immortal. It's not like I'm going to up and die anytime soon; unless of course I decided to ask
Shenlong for my mortality back. " Vegeta smirked.
" There are worse things that could happen to Veggie than dying. " the stare intensified. Goku was staring at Vegeta
as if this were to be one of the, if not the final, time he'd ever see him. The larger saiyajin's eyes glazed over with
tears.
" Must've been some dream.. " the ouji murmured in shock to himself.
" Oh Veggie... " Goku sniffled, reaching towards him, " I luv my little Veggie so very much! "
" HEY! " Vegeta said suddenly, hopping up onto his chair, " Kakarrotto how about you take that piece of turkey with
you and come upstairs to watch tv with me? " the ouji suggested, the redness had spread near-completely across his face by
now.
" YEAH! " Goku gushed excitedly.
Vegeta felt mildly relieved. It was much easier to deal with a happy Kakarrotto than a hurt, in desperate-need-of-
-comfort-and-consolement Kakarrotto, " I haven't gotten that much sleep tonight either. "
" Heehee " Goku grabbed the ouji, causing him to let out a yelp, hand glomped him tightly while he kept his snack
tightly halfway in his mouth. He walked barefoot up to the stairs and then dashed up them and into Vegeta's room. Goku
plopped the ouji back in the exact spot he'd been only 5 minutes ago, then sat down beside him and took a bite out of his
turkey.
Vegeta shook his dazed head for a moment, then whipped out the peasant-repel and promptly sprayed himself and the
area around him, " Now Kakarrotto, you only stay for the rest of this show. When its over I need to try and get some sleep
and you'll have to head back to your own home to do so as well. " he explained, trying to seem serious but obviously not
affecting the giddy type-3 saiyajin peasant seated beside him who was smiling with contentment.
" I like spending time with you, Veggie! " Goku grinned.
" Ah- " the ouji felt himself begin to turn red again and he instead quickly moved his attention back to the tv
before him, " H-hai Kakarrotto. I do too. " Vegeta forced out while doing his best to avoid the large, warm lump half a foot
away. Goku took another bite of his turkey and leaned against Vegeta's arm. This time the ouji's entire body burst into a
bright red glow.
dl
</dl
dl
</dl
A green glow surrounded his entire body as he stared in fury at the image upon the screen. Two people lay on a bed,
the one on the left stomach-down and the one on the right stomach-up. On the floor beside either side of the bed lay the
remains of a microwaved turkey leg and an upside-down remote control. The clock, who's digital digits were nearly the exact
same neon green of his ki, glew brightly on the countertop beside the bed proudly proclaiming it was 12:03am.
The figure glowered at Goku, wishing to literally blast the saiyajin's chest open and rip his insides out to show him
before he ki-fried the head. His fists clenched at his sides for a moment as he regained his calm. The green ki aura slipped
away. The figure turned from the screen and smirked wickedly. There are worse things that could happen to you than death,
Kakarrotto. He snickered for a moment, intent on proving Goku right.

</dl
Goku smiled contently. For the first time in months, he had slept soundly. No nightmares of behind held back by
rulebook-paper-created shackles, or Vegeta being eaten by a gigantic, green-eyed monster with Goku unable to reach him in
time. The time on the clock, if Goku leaned his body upward just slightly to see past Vegeta, was a little bit after 5 'o
clock. He sat up, wide awake and alert. Goku grinned at Vegeta, " I gotta sleep over with you more often Veggie! "
" Hn? " Vegeta sleepily and slightly opened his eyes to see a pair only a few inches away from his own.
" Mornin' Veggie! "
Vegeta's eyes snapped wide open, " AHHA! " he let out a scream of paranoia and fell off the side of the bed.
" ▫THUMP▫! "
Goku whinced, then peeked over at him, " Veggie? "
" Oh God...you were here all night, where you? " the ouji murmured in shock.
Goku looked around, " Huh. I guess I was. " he blinked, then beamed, " But it was nice Veggie! I didn't have any
nightmares at all! "
" Uh...huh.. " Vegeta twitched nervously as he stumbled to his feet, " Well, ah, I'm uh...I'm going to take a
shower then. " he nodded.
The larger saiyajin only sat there with a cheerful expression on his face and wagged his tail, " Veggie makes me
happy! "
" That's uh...that's real nice of you, Kakarrotto. " the ouji started to sweat as he slipped out of his room and
closed the door behind him. Vegeta slid his back against he door and whinced, " I think I'm going to need a LONG shower for
this one. "
dl
</dl

</dl
" ▫WHEW▫ " Vegeta sighed in relief as he exited the bathroom. His hair wet and, due to being so, obeying the laws
of gravity and hanging down onto his shoulders while he held a towel that was way too big for him around his waist; being
careful as to not trip himself. He opened the door to his room again and entered only to find Goku standing there already in
his gi and smiling as though he'd been up and ready for several hours now.
" HI VEGGIE! "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " ...Kakarrotto. "
" Haha.. " Goku laughed, his tail still wagging.
" Shouldn't you be, you know, going home? "
" Silly Veggie! I was home already. I ate breakfast with Chi-chan and Goten, then I went fishing, and then I came
back here to spar with you! " Goku rattled off what he'd done so far.
Vegeta looked over at his clock. 7:58am. He paled, " I was seriously in there for almost 3 hours! " the ouji
gawked.
" At least we know Veggie's clean! "
" Hai.. " the smaller saiyajin sweatdropped. He grabbed a pair of red boxers out of one of his drawers, then left the
room and returned 10 minutes later wearing the boxers with his hair dried and back into his usual gravity-defying shape.
Luckily, this time Goku was paying attention to the tv. Vegeta walked up to his clothes closet and opened it. He took out his
usual training outfit and put it on, then went to get his gloves and boots.
" Hey look! It's Veggie's armor! " Goku chirped, picking up the piece of white and yellow armor Bulma had made for
the ouji back when they fought Cell, " I wonder why Veggie doesn't wear it anymore...? "
Vegeta smirked and tugged at his shirt, " I like this better. Now if you'll excuse me Kakarrotto, I'm going
downstairs to have breakfast. "
" Oh-kay! " Goku gave him a thumbs up, " ...can I come have breakfast with Veggie and Veggie's family too? "
The ouji sweatdropped, " I thought you said you just ate breakfast? "
" Well, this'll be my second breakfast then! "
" Your second..? " Vegeta's sweatdrop grew even larger, " Alright, follow me Kakarrotto. "
" Veggie's the leader! "
Vegeta grinned broadly at that statement, " That I am, Kakarrotto. "

</dl

</dl
" Mmm, ▫munch▫munch▫chomp▫swallow▫gulp▫. "
Bulma looked over to see Goku sitting there at their table eating breakfast next to the fusions. He was plopped
between Vejitto and Vegeta. She tapped the ouji on the shoulder, " Umm, Vegeta? "
" Yes? " he looked over at her between bites.
" Didn't Son-kun eat breakfast already? "
" You'd think he was full.. " Vegeta trailed off, unable to give an explanation, " ...with how big his own breakfasts
are. "
" Well I think its nice that Goku joined us for breakfast. " Bunni said as she took another bite of her toast.
" Uh-huh.. " the ouji watched the larger saiyajin out of the corner of his eye.
" Hm... " Gogeta glanced left, then right, " OH! So that's why! "
" Huh? " Vejitto looked over at him.
" Why Kaasan's able to have a seat. " Gogeta grinned, " It's cuz-mph! " Vegeta slapped his hand over the dance
fusion's mouth.
"-could you please avoid saying his name? If he hears it he might come up here to taunt me and I've had more than
enough kaka-related incidents between last night and this morning to be in the right frame of mine to deal with him? " the
smaller saiyajin explained.
" Ohhh. Oh-kay Toussan. " Gogeta nodded, then turned back to Vejitto, " It's because someone is missing from the
kitchen table. "
Vejitto counted who else was there with them and recognized who Gogeta was talking about, " Got it, Goggie. "
" I heard you fell asleep with the tv on last night. " Bulma said to Vegeta.
" Hai. I'm not even sure when I passed out. " the ouji said admitantly.
" Heh-heh. The tv's not the only thing Vegeta-san fell asleep with last night. " a grin came from behind him.
" Turles. " Vegeta acknowledged, bracing himself, " I was just trying to calm Kakarrotto down. He had a nightmare. "
" Aww, Toussan that's so sweet of you to let Kakarroujo sleepover until he felt better like that! " Bura clasped
her hands together.
" ACK? NO NO NO! I only invited Kakarrotto up to my room to watch tv! He was supposed to go back home after the show
was over! He didn't mean to fall asleep either! "
" Uh-huh. " Turles smirked.
" You don't believe me, do ya? " Vegeta asked flatly.
" Not a word! " the evil type-3 saiyajin smiled. He walked up to Goku, " Say Kakarrotto? Can I have my seat back when
your done? Or perhaps Vegeta-san will allow me to borrow his and he can sit on your lap? "
Vegeta clutched onto the sides of his chair, " Not a chance. "
" Oh well, I suppose I'll be having breakfast in the ship then. " Turles picked up his plate and utencils.
" Yes, go do that. " Vegeta bluntly agreed with him.
" You know Turles I'm almost finished here and I have to go feed Scratch anyway so- " Bunni started out.
"-here mom have a bagel! " Bulma suddenly injected, holding one out to her.
" Why thank you Bulma dear how thoughtful! " Bunni smiled, then started to cut her bagel in half.
" Thank you. " Vegeta mouthed to Bulma, relieved. She gave him a thumbs-up.
" I have a bit of ship maintenance work to do anyway. I should be back by up lunchtime. " Turles smirked, " And by
then Kakarrotto and Vegeta-san should be returning from their "sparring" match as well, hai? "
" Do you have to put quotations around it? " Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Heh " Turles headed towards the lab, " Well sometimes I wonder... "
" There's nothing to wonder about! Not only had neither of us had meant to fall asleep, Kakarrotto and I were at
least a foot apart from each other the entire time. It was a completely PLATONIC and accidental experiance. " the ouji
defended himself.
" Have a good time with Kakarrotto, Vegeta-san. " Turles chuckled. He opened the lab door and headed downstairs.
" OOOOH.. " Vegeta fumed, " I wonder if we could get Piccolo to imprison him or something? " he pondered.
Bulma sweatdropped, " Just because he gets to be King for two months doesn't mean we should have him use his power
to our advantage! "
" Yeah I doubt he'd do it anyway. " Vegeta nodded. Bulma groaned.

" Hmmhmmhmm, hmmhmm hmmmhmm. " Turles hummed as he walked inside his spaceship, which had been docked in one of the
larger section's of Bulma's vast lab. He passed the control room on his way to the kitchen and reminded himself to clean a
few parts of the ship that were starting to gather dust from sitting there for 6 months, " Makes me wish I still had a lackey
or two around to help out. " he muttered, then sat down and went to work on his breakfast.
Had the saiyajin actually stopped to take a look inside the control room he'd passed, he'd have noticed the radar
shown a large red blip hovering just outside Earth's atmosphere.

" Wheeheehee! Hahaha! " a faint familliar laughter came from high above the Son home. Chi-Chi rolled her eyes as she
took the clothes off the line and started to fold them and place them into the clothesbasket beside her. Thankfully Goten
was helping her by getting all the clothes on the line opposite hers, freeing up some time and energy.
" Crazy Ouji. " she sighed, then nearly jumped as something hurtled down out of the sky and almost hit her. Instead
the object slammed into her clothesbasket, scattering shirts, pants, skirts, and gis everywhere. Chi-Chi picked the sock up
off her head to see who it was, " Goku-san! "
" Hi Chi-chan! " Goku said happily, looking sweaty and dirty. He'd been sparring with Vegeta for over an hour now.
" BWAHAHA! TAKE THAT KAKARROTTO-AND INDIRECTLY-ONNA! " Vegeta laughed heartily as he hovered them a good 15 or 20
feet in the air.
" What was that! " Chi-Chi exclaimed, " And did you really need to destroy half my laundry while doing so? "
" THAT was me defeating Kakarrotto in a sparring match Onna! " Vegeta said proudly.
Goku blinked, " But Veggie I'm not tired enough to quit yet. "
" Neither am I, but I like to end my matches on a high note. " the little ouji landed on the grass, then walked up to
Goku and held his hand out, " May I help you up, favorite peasant of mine? "
" Haha " Goku laughed and held his hand out.
Chi-Chi swatted Vegeta's hand away, " Goku-san can pick himself up on his own, thanks Ouji. " she twitched,
frustrated.
Goku swung himself forward and did a somersault up out of the basket and onto the ground.
" Would you at least help us pick the clothes up off the ground? "
" Of course. Afterall, winning sparring matches against Kakarrotto always puts me in a good mood! " the ouji grinned,
then whipped out some peasant-repel and sprayed his hands.
" What good will that do you've been in close physical contact with him for the last hour and you're afraid of
picking some of his clothes up? " Chi-Chi cocked an eyebrow.
" I have my reasons. " Vegeta stated mock-wisely, then grabbed a few shirts, " Gonna wash them again? "
" If we get the ones that fell down fast enough I probably can still put those back on the line...but the ones
Goku-san fell ontop of.. " Chi-Chi looked down into her basket which was now covered in specks of dirt and sweat, " Yah. "
she sweatdropped, " Back to the washer with you. "
" I think I'll go take a dip! " Goku tossed his wristbands and boots off.
" Alright. " Chi-Chi smiled, then headed inside. She paused and narrowed her eyes at Vegeta over her shoulder,
" You. Don't try anything funny. "
" Do you really need to remind me with this situa-▫plop▫! " Goku's gi shirt landed ontop of the ouji's head. Vegeta
let out a strangled yelp and started to twitch while in glowing-bright-red shock, " AHHHH! " he let out a scream and chucked
the shirt off him, gasping for air.
" Hahahaha! " Chi-Chi laughed, " Goku-san, the ouji's funny when he panics. "
Vegeta sprayed his entire head this time with the peasant-repel, " You would find that funny. " he muttered,
" Kakarrotto would you watch where you're throwing things? " Vegeta glanced over his shoulder, then let out an even greater
yelp and whipped his head back around and started nervously mumbling things in saiyago.
" What's the matter Ouji? Never seen another saiyajin's rear end before? " Chi-Chi snickered as Goku hopped into the
river.
" Shuddup. " he bluntly replied, his entire body now bright red.
" Could've been worse. "
" I'm well aware that, thanks. "
" Hey Veggie! " Goku waved to him. He was now 3/4ths under the water. Vegeta looked back and sighed with relief,
" Wanna come swimming with me? "
" Nude swimming? "
The larger saiyajin nodded excitedly.
" No thanks. " Vegeta said, then turned around and saw Chi-Chi smirking victoriously up at the front of the house,
" ...on second thought. " he grinned wickedly. Chi-Chi's eyes widened in fright and Vegeta...removed his boots, " There.
I am now naked.
" WAHHH! " Chi-Chi fell over.
Goku sweatdropped, " Little Veggie I do not know how to tell you this, but you're not nake- "
"-hush! Nakedity is merely a state of mind, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta said wisely. Goku tilted his head and the ouji
got into the river as well, " Alright. First one to the edge of the river? " he suggested.
" And back! "
" AND BACK? " the ouji gawked.
Goku nodded contently.
Vegeta grumbled, " Very well, Kakarrotto. "
" THREE...TWO...ONE... " Goku counted down.
" GO! " Vegeta shouted and blasted off ahead of the large saiyajin.
" HEY! VEGGIE WAIT UP YOU CAN'T USE YOUR BUKUJUTSU THAT'S CHEATING! " Goku swam after him.

" Mmmm...ice cream is delicious, huh Toussan? " Vejitto grinned. It was evening again and the Vejitto and Gogeta
had stopped over in their fusion-mobile.
" It's a little cold for ice-cream. " the ouji sweatdropped, looking at his cone full of strawberry ice-cream.
" Aw Veggie that's silly! " Goku ate some more of his chocolate cone, " It's NEVER too cold for ice-cream! "
" Kaasan's right! " Gogeta nodded.
" Hn. " Vegeta shifted around in his seat.
" Aren't you ready to leave yet? " Chi-Chi stuck her head into the kitchen, " You've been here for nearly six hours!"
" What's wrong with keeping my peasants company? " Vegeta smirked, " Especially on such chilly days as these? "
" But Veggie its 58'F out. " Goku blinked.
" Yeah, on THIS part of the planet. Back in West City we're still in the 20's. " the ouji stated.
" Listen. I need to get dinner started and I can't do so with you and the demi-Ouji's in here. " she folded her arms.
" What's wrong with me staying? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow.
" Ouji, if you were to stay there's a chance one or two of you twisted Ouji-germs could fall into the rolls I'm
about to bake and should Goku happen to eat one of those contaminated rolls he would be trapped into obeying your every evil
Ouji-whim! " Chi-Chi exclaimed.
" Heh " Vegeta grinned wickedly at the prospect.
" Isn't that going a little over-board, Chi-Chi? " Vejitto sweatdropped.
" If anything it gives me even more an a desired incentive to stay here a while longer. " the ouji nodded.
Goku finished off his ice-cream cone. He walked up to Vegeta and looked down at the smaller saiyajin's hair, " Don't
worry little Veggie-germs. I won't let Chi-chan cook you into her dinnertime recipes like little germ-orderves. " he patted
one of the blue germs. Vegeta felt his face start to flush red again. He felt the larger saiyajin's hands on his shoulders
while he talked to the germs above him.
" M-maybe I should get going. " Vegeta laughed nervously as he lifted Goku's hands up off him.
" GASP! No Veggie do not go yet! Please stay for dinner and dessert-time snacks with me! " the larger saiyajin
pleased.
" No thanks Kakarrotto. Maybe tommorow or- "
"-PLEASE Veggie! Veggie can even stay over tonight and stay in my room and I'll be really careful not to move
around that much in my sleep and that way if I have a nightmare Veggie can wake me up! "
" Don't encourage him, Goku-san! " Chi-Chi sweatdropped, then smiled, " If the Ouji wants to leave than he's welcome
to do so. "
" Hn.. " Vegeta narrowed his eyes at her for a moment, " Kakarrotto... " he started out, turning to face Goku only
to now find the larger saiyajin practically nose-to-nose with him with pleading eyes, " Ah..it ah... " he quickly shook his
head clear of any dazed mushiness, " I mean, didn't we just, you know, do that? "
" Resting with Veggie makes me sleep so much sounder at night. I did not have any nightmares at all! " he grinned.
" Well, that's nice. " Vegeta took a large step back from Goku, " But you see Kakarrotto...I didn't even mean for you
to fall asleep there in the first place. I feel more comfortable sleeping by myself anyway. "
" Ohhh.. " a large mound of guilt hovered over the ouji's head at the expression on Goku's face, " Um, if it makes
you feel any better, once I finally get the Capsule 3 ship working we'll be able to sleeping in the same room? "
" Ah haha...ah.. "
Goku reached over and glomped the ouji tightly, " Well if Veggie wants to go back to Veggie's house for dinner I
can't stop him. "
" Especially since its Mommy's turn to cook! " Vejitto grinned.
" I like Toussan's meals even better than Bunni's, Jitto! " Gogeta excitedly nodded.
" Well, I'm glad that's decided. " Chi-Chi smirked, " You know Goku-san, if you want, I'll let you help out a little
with dinner? "
" REALLY? " Goku beamed.
" Justalittlebit! " she held up her hands in mild panic, " You know, like adding things at the end. "
" That sounds FUN, Chi-chan. " he smiled.
Vegeta stuck his hand outside, " Hmm, maybe we should just capsulize the Fusion-Mobile and teleport home. "
" You really think its gonna get that cold out, Toussan? " Gogeta said, surprised.
" Best not to take any chances. " the ouji smirked.
Vejitto pulled out the capsule and capsulized their vehicle, " Oh-kay! All set! "
Vegeta opened the front door and stepped outside, followed by the fusions. Goku heard the door open and dashed out
after them.
" VEGGIE WAIT! " he skidded to a halt infront of him.
" Yes? "
The larger saiyajin gave the smaller one a hug, " Mmmm "
" ... " the fur on Vegeta's tail puffed out as it turned a bright red color along with the rest of his body. The
ouji whipped out his peasant-repel and sprayed it, then pushed himself out of the hug, " Umm...hahahaha. " he laughed
nervously.
" Hahaha! " Goku laughed back.
" Goodbye Kakarrotto. " Vegeta hovered upwards, preparing to blast off into the sky.
Goku waved to him, grinning, " Goodbye Veggie! "
And with that the ouji and fusions flew off in the direction of West City and Capsule Corp. Goku waved for a few
moments more, then pouted slightly, " Veggie. "

" Hn. " Piccolo sat ontop of the roof to his new temporary residence while meditating. He opened one eye and glanced
upward, :A disturbing force:
" What was disturbing was that ridiculously large parade you held yesterday. " Kami sighed.
" Hey, it was the 10-day anniversary of me being temporary Ruler of Earth. " Piccolo defended himself, then smirked,
" I happen to think it went over well with the citzens of Piccolo City. "
" Are you really allowed to change the name like that? " Nail sweatdropped.
" It sounds better than Central City. " Piccolo nodded.
" True..but still. " Kami complained.
Piccolo mentally glanced upward, :There's something, or someone, closing in on the planet. And it contains a
dangerous ki:
:Are you sure its headed this way? ▫
:Yes. If it tries to land I'll have to contact Son and the others and we'll try to contain it: Piccolo planned out.
:What if it doesn't land at all?▫ Kami suggested.
" ... " this time Piccolo did glance up at the sky; both eyes open, " I don't know. "

" Gravity level returning to normal. Thank you for using the Gravitational Defyier 2.5, have a good day, Vegeta. "
the computer announced as it shut down.
" ▫WHEW▫! " the ouji wiped the sweat off his brow. He left the gravity room and shut the lights off on his way out,
closing the door behind him. Vegeta walked up to the bathroom and took the towel off from around his neck, then tossed it to
the ground and reached for his toothbrush and toothpaste.
Vegeta finished brushing his teeth and quickly washing his face, then headed into his bedroom, tossed his gloves,
boots, and training uniform off and plopped on the edge of the bed in his red boxers. He picked up the remote control off the
side of the bed and momentarily glanced across to the left, " ... " a moment later a flush appeared over his nose and he
shook it off, " B-baka. " he sputtered, then turned the tv on.

Far off in South City, the residents of the area slept soundly as 11:30pm approached.
A particular resident flopped over onto his side in a deep slumber only to suddenly be startled awake by the sound of
a loud, blaring, endless noise.
" ▫BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-▫ "
" AHHHHHHHHHHH! " Veggy bolted up in pain, holding the sides of his head. As an android, he was incapable of
headaches, " So where is that sound coming from! " he grated out in pain. Veggy stumbled to the front door and opened it. A
bright light engulfed him from above. He held one of his hands slightly above his eyes as the light faded to reveal a large,
menacing figure.
" Well, I suppose this means those two men weren't lying to me at all. " he chuckled, " Your body does have a radar
built in. And if you're here than this must undoubtedly be Earth. "
Now that the light had dissolved, Veggy could better see what the object hovering over his house was. A spaceship.
An enormous spaceship the likes he'd never seen before. The hull in the front looked vaguely familiar, but the majority of
it appeared to be hundreds of planets' worth of technology spliced and fused together in a way that made the ship above him
magnificant and beautiful. It was large but built in a way that it's size wouldn't cost it any speed at all. The forest green
ship glimmered in the moonlight and the android was positive that if put up against the moon they could easily be equal in
size. However, it was still quite hard to ponder this or anything else with the loud, incessant beeping noise blaring
through his head, " What... " Veggy murmured.
The figure bent down to his height, " Don't you mean "who", my little Vejita-droid? " he said smoothly.
" Who ARE you and could you PLEASE shut your ship down its too close to me and I think I'm getting feedback from it!"
Veggy pleaded, still holding his head.
" So polite and well-behaved. Just like the real Vejita. " the figure smiled thoughtfully, " Of course I'll shut my
ship off, if you tell me where I can find my Vejita. "
" First tell me who you are! " Veggy demanded, " I don't just give my friends' address out to complete strangers you
know! "
" Why, isn't it obvious? " he fully stood up again and let his tail hang loose, " I'm a saiyajin. "
Veggy's eyes widened in shock, " N-no! That can't be! There's only 2 full-blooded saiyajin left! "
" Two? " the figure smirked, amused, " My you are in need of an upgrade. There's 7 of us, my silly Vejita-bot. "
" ▫BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-▫ " the noise continued through Veggy's
head, non-stop.
The android fell to his knees and squinted his eyes shut in pain, " PLEASE shut it off! "
" I told you I will. " he patted a hand onto the shoulder of Veggy's pajama top, " Very lovely... "
" ▫BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-▫ "
" AAARGH! " Veggy wailed, " IT'S SO LOUD! "
" Well all the loud noise will go away if you do as I say and give me the location of Vejita-chan's whereabouts. "
he whispered into the android's ear.
" Why do you need to know where is? If he's your friend than wouldn't he have told you himself where to find him? "
The figure narrowed his eyes, " Amazing. Your head's pounding with pircing pain and you're still giving me the 3rd
degree. " his grip grew tighter on Veggy's shoulder. The metal beneath his skin began to quake under the pressure.
:He's...so strong...I've never felt anything like that before...: the android shuddered.
" ▫BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-▫ "
" TELL ME... "
" NO! You're obviously NOT Vegeta's friend! And with the way you're acting you seem more like you want to kill him! "
Veggy glared.
The figure's eyes widened in horror, " "KILL"! Oh NEVER! " he picked the android up, " I would NEVER harm my
Vejita-chan in any way possible, my petite Vejita-droid! " the figure held Veggy against him tightly.
Veggy scanned the area and started to consider screaming for help if he couldn't dislodge himself within the next
minute as panic began to swell in his throat.
" Just like I would never harm you. " his tail reached around and gently pressed the upper part of Veggy's right leg.
The android gasped when his system recognized what button had been pressed and he was instantly shut down, " Now, " the
figure lifted Veggy's shirt off, " Let's see where those memory banks are... "

" ▫SIGH▫... " Vegeta sighed tiredly, yet still unable to seriously lay down and go to sleep. He looked over at his
clock. 11:35pm. The little ouji slumped over in slight disappointment. Part of him wishing Goku would show up to watch tv
with him; but this time go home after the show was over-he didn't want to wake up next to his peasant two days in a row.
That sort of thing could lead to non-platonic thoughts in Kakarrotto's head by associating a good night's sleep with sleeping
in "Veggie"'s bed with "Veggie". The ouji gulped at the thought.
" ▫Beep▫beep▫beep▫beep▫ ▫beep▫beep▫beep▫beep▫. "
Vegeta lit up, " Kakarrotto! " he beamed, then hopped out of bed and dashed down the stairs and into the kitchen only
to discover...it was empty.
" ... " Vegeta's tail slumped behind him. He looked over in curiousity at the microwave, then pressed the open
button, " That's empty too? But-that can't be. Someone would've had to have pushed the buttons to turn the microwave on like
that- "
A large, heavy hand came down upon his right shoulder, startling Vegeta and causing him to drop his tv remote control
, which smacked against the wall above the microwave and fell down to the floor behind the piece of furniture holding the
microwave.
Vegeta turned to face the hand and froze in terror at the golden object around the wrist. He looked upward at the
owner of the hand and let out a silent scream as a light flashed above them, engulfing the entire kitchen.
In that moment, Vegeta Oujisama vanished off the face of the earth.

" VEGETA! " Bulma sat up in bed. A jolt had run through her body she hadn't felt since Vegeta sacrficed himself
fighting Majin Buu. She nervously looked around her room. Bulma almost got up to go check on the ouji, but she had a meeting
with an important business holder at 8am and the last thing she wanted to do was lose anymore sleep. Bulma forced her head
back onto the pillow and closed her eyes, settling into an uneasy sleep.

" Toussan! Toussan! "
" Mommy where are you! "
" Toussan! Come out this isn't funny! "
" Huh? " Bulma poked her head out of her room. She was already dressed in her business suit and skirt with her
makeup on and holding her laptop's briefcase in one hand. Downstairs below her Vejitto, Gogeta, and Mirai were running
around calling out Vegeta's name; or at least what they called him, " Guys what's going on? "
" MOMMY DISAPPEARED! " Vejitto exclaimed, panic written all over his usually cheerful face.
" What? " Bulma looked at him in confusion and surprise.
" It is true! " Gogeta, his eyes partially watered, cried out, " I woke up early so I decided to ask Toussan if he'd
like to have breakfast with me cuz Jitto was still fast asleep and when I went inside Toussan's room it was EMPTY! "
" He's probably in the gravity room. " Bulma sweatdropped.
" We checked there already. We can't find Toussan's ki anywhere. " Mirai said seriously, nervous sweat dripping down
the side of his face.
" Maybe he's surpressing it? " she offered.
" No. That still would not explain Toussan's room! " Gogeta shook his head back and forth, worried.
" His door was left wide open and the tv was on. " Vejitto said.
"! " Bulma froze, " But...but Vegeta NEVER leaves his bedroom door open. He locks it to keep Son-kun away-though
I'm not really sure why since he can simply teleport into Vegeta's room anyway-but still there's no way he'd leave his room
like that! "
" We're going to wake up Turles in 15 minutes if we can't find Toussan by then. " Mirai said.
" Why? "
" After we searched Mommy's room, we found the capsule containing the Capsule 3 ship disappeared as well. " Vejitto
explained, " If Mommy really went out into space last night without telling us, Turles' radar should be able to pick up where
he is. "
" Why waste the time? I could do it right now if you want. "
The quartet turned to see Turles standing there, looking partially sleepy as he ate a waffle.
" I think its better if we just search the surrounding area first. There's certain people I'd rather not panic about
this if its only a minor case of Toussan sneaking off somewhere to buy some secret present for Son-san or something like
that. " Mirai told him.
" Have it your way. " Turles shrugged.
" Vegeta couldn't get that far in the Capsule 3 if he wanted to. It's only 1/4th full. He'd barely make it to the
moon and back, not to mention Bejito-sei. " Bulma explained.
Mirai clenched his fists in frustration, " That's what has me worried. "
" Does anyone else know about this yet? "
" No one that isn't already up. Us, Grandma, Granpa... " Mirai trailed off.
" Trunks and Bura are still asleep. " Vejitto added.
" ▫DING▫DONG▫ " the doorbell ran cheerfully.
The group simultaneously paled.
" Toussan. "
" Oh my God. " Bulma said suddenly, " Son-kun can't find out Vegeta's missing! He's been having nightmares over
that very subject for the past half a YEAR! "
" Not to mention how much he adores Toussan's mere existance. " Mirai sweatdropped.
" ▫DING▫DONG▫ "
Bulma bit her lip, then put down her briefcase and opened the door, " Hi Son-kun. " she put on a fake smile.
" Hi Bulma I'm here to go spar with Veggie! " Goku said happily.
" Umm, he's uh...Son-kun maybe you should come back later :after we've found him: " Bulma laughed nervously.
" Little Veggie where are you! " the larger saiyajin said warmly as he walked inside, " Kakarrotto's here for
another fun Veggie-filled day! " he said in a sing-song voice.
A cloud of doom hung over the rest of the group.
Goku felt the terrified ki's and turned to face them, " Umm, are you all oh-kay? "
" ▫hip▫ " Gogeta's eyes watered 3/4ths of the way by now.
" Goggie? " Goku looked over at him with concern.
" I...I...I CANNOT LIE TO YOU KAASAN TOUSSAN IS GONE! " he bawled.
" ... " Goku froze in place. The entire room around him felt like it suddenly dropped 30 degrees F. A heavy feeling
of vertigo overcame him and his entire body went numb. Goku's tail went limp and hit the floor with a thump. He opened and
closed his mouth only without any words coming out. Goku whipped around and barreled up the stairs to Vegeta's room only to
screech to a halt once he hit the doorway. The open doorway. The large saiyajin nervously stepped inside. Vegeta's tv was
on. The lights were still out; though the room was made visible by the sunlight shining through the blind-covered windows.
The most stupifying parts of the room were in the middle.
Vegeta's bed was unslept in. Not a sheet was out of place. Completely unlike the messy tossed-and-turned way the
ouji's bed usually appeared in the morning. And his clothes..
His clothes, the training uniform, gloves, and boots, were layed neatly folded on the side of his bed. But Vegeta's
clothes wouldn't have been folded because he kept them in a clothes closet where they had to stay straight. And when he took
them out the previous day while Goku was there, he simply put them on, not caring to lay them out before he did so.
" V-Veggie? " Goku finally squeaked out.
" ... " the room was silent. An empty, hollow shell without the warm-when-hugged little ouji who lived in it.
" Veggie? "
" ... " ▫
" VEGGIE "
" ... " ▫
Goku reached his hand up to his left ear; the hand quaking as it moved. He grabbed a sharp hold of his ear and tugged
hard.
Nothing.
Son Goku fainted.

" Son-kun! SON-KUN WAKE UP! Ohhh, Trunks bring me another wash-cloth for his forehead. "
Veggie.
" I can't find them, Mom! "
My little Veggie.
" ▫Sigh▫. Check the closet in the hallway, your grandmother just put some there yesterday. "
Where is my Veggie?
" OHHHH, oh-kay, I got one. "
" Son-kun? "
Goku's eyes fluttered open. The image before him was a blurry blue blob. He rubbed his eyes to discover the reason
for the blurriness. Tears. He sat up and they streaked down his cheeks now, " Bulma? " he turned to face her. Bulma was back
in her everyday clothes, " Where is Veggie? " Goku said with pleading, desperate eyes that were already partially reddened
from crying in his sleep.
" I don't know, Son-kun. " Bulma looked downward, sad.
" ...but, but you must know. You're a genius Bulma you can find Veggie right! You can tell me if he's oh-kay or hurt
or in need of a hug and a yummy snack! " Goku's voice waivered.
" We think, "
Goku looked over to see Mirai standing beside the couch he was laying on and Bulma sitting on.
" that he might've left for outer space. The Capsule 3 ship is missing and Turles is currently trying to track his
location and- "
" NO! "
Mirai was taken aback.
" NO! Veggie would never have left the planet without me! That's not like my Veggie at all! He said he'd take me with
him to Bejito-sei as soon as his ship was fixed. But its NOT! Veggie is an experianced outer-space pilot he wouldn't have
gone out with a faulty ship knowing he didn't have enough fuel and that parts of it still needed to be patched up! "
" You think he's here then? "
" ... " Goku stared down at his thighs, trying to keep himself from bursting into tears again.
▫▫:" Goodbye Kakarrotto! "
" Goodbye Veggie! ": ▫▫
Goku buried his head in his hands, starting to sob.
" Bulma? " Dr. Briefs walked into the room, " Aren't you leaving? It's almost 8 now. "
" No. "
Dr. Briefs eyes widened in shock. Bulma turn down a such a big business deal.
" I'm suspending all future meetings until Vegeta is found. " she said confidently with a serious expression on her
face, " I can't stand by while he's lost somewhere. "
" Alright then, I'll go sub for you. " her father sighed, " I'll just call the CEO and tell him I'll be a little
late. " he walked off.

" ▫Beep▫beep▫beep▫beep▫... "
" Dammit! Vegeta-san where are you! " Turles growled with frustration. He had mapped out the entire area Vegeta's
ship; in its current condition with the amount of fuel and estimated time of departure; could currently be and kept finding
nothing, " There's no way he could've gotten that far. This means he either A) didn't leave the planet at all and is hiding
with his ki surpressed somewhere, or B) he has some Capsule 1 or 2 that nobody bothered to tell me about and is currently
traveling on a different frequency or left earlier than I projected. " he rattled off the possiblities to himself, " Still,
even for Vegeta-san, this doesn't make sense. I have a very hard time believeing he would just take off-even with as short
a time as I've known him for. If Vegeta-san absolutely had to travel...he would've taken Kakarrotto with him. "

" Ohhhhhhhhhh...my head. " Veggy opened his eyes to see he was back in his bed, a dull beep still in the back of his
mind " Wait, what? How did I get back HERE! " he quickly searched his memory, then froze, " A gap. Someone deleted at
least a half-hour of my core memory starting last night around 11pm and finishing at 11:30. But...NOBODY knows how to
access that data. They would've had to shut me down, have opened me up...hacked into my programming.. "
" ▫beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-▫ "
He got out of bed and paled to discover his pajama shirt was missing, " I've got to find Bulma. "

" How utterly bizarre. " Piccolo murmured as he sat in the ruler's chair.
" What is? " Dende looked over at him.
" I felt an evil ki hovering near Earth yesterday afternoon. It stayed there until late in the evening and then
simply disappeared. It never even breeched the atmosphere. " he folded his arms with concern.
" Maybe it was Turles in his ship. He's pretty, urm, evil. " Dende replied.
" No. On the "evil" scale, Turles is about a 4 1/2. This ki was more like a 10. "
The guardian's eyes widened, " You can't be serious. A ki like that-surely one of the others would've sensed it as
well? "
" It was too far away for them to feel without purposely looking for it. Even so, there was something masking his
true power, like he was either surpressing his ki or holding up a ki barrier of some sort. "
" Mr. Popo thinks maybe Piccolo should alert the others. " the genie offered.
" I'm ahead of you on that Popo. " Piccolo smirked wryly, " I've already contacted Korin. He felt it too, though he
also couldn't sense the ki once it disappeared. Korin did however say he saw a strange, faint light near South City. I'm
going to find Goku and we'll check it out together. If whatever it was is still there, I'm most likely going to need some
backup. " he got up out of his chair. Piccolo closed his eyes and sensed around for Goku's ki, " West City. "

Son Chi-Chi barreled down the road in her car at a brisk 70mph. Goku had left to pick Vegeta up and bring him back to
Mount Paozu to spar. An hour had passed and neither saiyajin had shown up. This lead Chi-Chi to believe Vegeta had decided to
keep Goku at Capsule Corp, " Probably to spend some more "quailty time" together. " she grimaced, annoyed.
The little white car with the number 23, its capsule number and ironically the number of the Budoukai where she and
Goku had gotten married, painted in black on the side, flew into the outskirts of West City and headed for Capsule Corp
where it arrived five minutes later. Chi-Chi screeched the car to a halt on the side of the road, then got out and headed up
towards the front door.
" ▫Knock▫knock▫knock▫ "
" I'll get it! " Vejitto called out from inside.
Gogeta was patting Goku on the back trying to calm him down while Bulma was microwaving something for the large
saiyajin to snack on.
" Hello? " the portara fusion opened the door.
Chi-Chi went inside, " Demi-Ouji. " she acknowledged, then gasped to see Goku lying on the couch in the living room,
sobbing into his hands, " Goku-sa. Why is he, crying? " she blinked in shock.
" ... " ▫
Chi-Chi stood there as if waiting as if on cue for Vegeta to suddenly pop up from behind her and say something about
her being why Goku's upset and how he'd take much better care of his "favorite peasant" than she could.
Instead she looked over her shoulder, jarred from Vegeta not coming up from behind her to explain the situation.
Goku sensed her ki and looked up to see her. His eyes were bloodshot, the part beneath them all puffy and red. Tears
streaked down his face and he appeared as if he hadn't slept last night at all-which Chi-Chi of course knew was false; Goku
had gone to bed around 7:30pm as usual. His expression reminded Chi-Chi eerily of something she'd seen before, but couldn't
place.
" Goku-san? " she said cautiously, walking up to him. Once Chi-Chi got closer she recognized exactly what it reminded
her of. The way Vegeta looked after Goku died fighting Cell. The little ouji had gone into a deep depression and hadn't
come out until two years later. Chi-Chi herself didn't even know exactly what had pulled him back out of it, :The Ouji's..
..dead? ▫ the thought sent a chill down her spine, :But, but HOW? The Ouji wished himself immortal nearly three years ago.
Goku-san too. But he did manage to die that one time, so...: she thought a little deeper, :Could he have somehow
suffocated himself by accident in his sleep? Turned the gravity up too high in that chamber and was unable to lift his body
to shut the machine off? Or did...he go out sparring and Goku-san hit him to hard or kicked him in the wrong place and,
killed him? ▫ " Goku-san I- "
" CHI-CHAAAAAN! " Goku wailed, glomping onto her tightly, bending partially and leaning his head under he neck,
" OH CHI-CHAN HE'S GONE! MY LITTLE VEGGIE IS GONE! " he held her closer and cried into her shirt, " I woke up this morning
and I came to see Veggie only he disappeared and I don't know where he went or why he left me or if he's oh-kay or hurt or
when he's coming back oh little Veggie please come back to me! "
Chi-Chi stood there in shock. She looked down at Goku and hugged him back, leaning her cheek ontop of his head,
a worried expression on her face as she started to rubbed his back, " Oh Goku... "

" Ohhhhhhhhh... " Vegeta groaned. He opened his eyes to see he was in a dark, warm, unlit room, :W-where am I? ▫
he thought back to the last thing he remembered before he blacked out, :The kitchen. I was in the kitchen, and the microwave
went off and this hand: his tail fur stood on end and he quickly formed a ball of ki. The room was so dark even the ki
itself did little to light up the room. Vegeta felt something warm to his left and turned the hand with the ki ball that way
to face, "! "
" Goodmorning, Vejita-chan. Did you sleep well? "
The little ouji stared with wide eyes at the largest saiyajin alive whom he and Goku had killed last march, " Ah..a..
ah... "
" You must've, it's practically impossible to wake you up when you're asleep. "
:This is a nightmare. A horrible terrible nightmare and I'll wake up in two seconds and Brolli will still be dead
and I'll be safe in my bedroom by myself without Kakarrotto in bed with me: Vegeta shuddered.
" Come with me Vejita, I'll make you some breakfast. " Brolli helped the ouji up off the bed and headed for the
door.
" Hey w-wait! Where are we going? Let go of my hand I can walk by myself! " the ouji tried to stay calm.
The largest saiyajin scooped the smaller one up and put one hand on the doorknob, " Oh, you'll find out where we're
going soon enough, my otokohime. " he smirked wickedly, then opened the door.
