Vejiita's Adventures in Babysitting
A Fanfic By Meredith Laver and David Potts

	One, seemingly normal, day Vejiita wanders outside Capsule 
Corp. to stretch out a bit. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he 
notices a pig flying by.
	"What the hell?!" Vejiita exclaims, and then lightens up again 
and murmurs, "Ah, it's nothing."
	Or so he thinks.
	Seconds later his son Trunks comes bolting out of the front 
door with an excited look plastered all over his face.
	"Papa Look! Hell Froze over today! Cool huh?!" Trunks says, 
shoving a paper in Vejiita's face.
	"Shimatta!!" Vejiita screams and flies off quickly to a far-off 
tiny island where he can be alone.
	"No, this can't happen to me." Vejiita cries, "N-not again!" 
	Suddenly Vejiita feels a twitching forming at the corners of his 
mouth. With a cry of "No!! I shall overcome it!" Vejiita frowns with all 
his might.
	The tingling at the base of his mouth only grows stronger and 
Vejiita screams in frustration and goes to Super Saiya-jin, in order to 
maximize his power towards the frown. But the twitching increases with 
more power than Vejiita could ever summon. Feeling defeat swiftly 
closing on him, Vejiita grabs his jaw in frustration.
	"No, I will NOT do it!!" Vejiita desperately cries out, but it is 
too late. He falls to the ground,  exhausted and defeated. Vejiita slowly 
looks up, with glazed eyes and a huge smile full of pure happiness 
spread across his face.
	Vejiita suddenly jerks upwards and awake, panting and 
sweating profusely. He quickly puts a hand over his mouth and feels for 
a minute. He then relaxes as he realizes what he thought was there, 
wasn't. He looked over to the side of the bed, where he finds Bulma 
standing over him with a stern look on her face. She'd obviously been up 
about an hour or two before Vejiita had, considering how well kept and 
nice she looked. But her frown still hadn't disappeared.
	"Vejiita! Don't you dare go making those weird perverse smiles 
at me! You should know better than that while we have our little son 
awake!" Bulma scolds as Vejiita turns his head to see that indeed their 
devilish 8 year old little boy was awake and peering in the doorway. 
	Seeing his father get scolded instead of him was a highlight of 
the day for Trunks. He grinned as Vejiita shot back a scowl at him. 
Vejiita sighs soon after, realizing what had previously happened was 
only a nightmare, and it could never truly happen to him.
	Bulma sat down on the bed next to Vejiita and stared sweetly 
into his eyes as she begins to explain what'll be happening for the day. 
"Well anyway, Vejiita, I have got to go on a business trip today to 
explain Capsule Corporation's newest advancement in technology. So 
that means you'll have to baby-sit Trunks today, alright? It shouldn't be 
too hard. Oh yes, and Goten  is coming over today to spend the night 
here with Trunks. They shouldn't be too much trouble for you, 
considering they'll be so busy together. such cute little darlings!"
	Vejiita scowled back at her and began to raise his voice, 
"What?! I am the Prince of the Saiya-jin's! And you're making me stoop 
to being so low as a human BABYSITTER?!"
	Bulma glanced over her shoulder as she started to pack up her 
things into a nice, tidy bag and solemnly spoke, "Fine! Then I guess I'll 
just drop off Trunks at Son-kun's place!"
	Vejiita's eyes widened and he growled, "Never! I will NOT 
have KAKKAROTTO letting his weak, stupid influences rub off on 
Trunks like they have on his two sons!"
	Bulma rolled her eyes and shot back, "Kakarotto this and 
Kakarotto that! Can't you call him GOKUU like the rest of us?!"
	Vejiita sneered and laid back down on the bed, then turned 
away from Bulma. "It's his given Saiya-jin name. I shall never refer to 
him as this pathetic Human name he's chosen. It'd be like calling him by 
a nickname, and that's the LAST thing I'd ever do to Kakkarotto! It 
would seem like we were friends or something!"
	Bulma groaned as she hefted her bag over her shoulder, and 
sighed. As she started walking out of the room, Trunks blasted through 
the door and hopped up onto the bed. He immediately started jumping 
on the bed, occasionally squashing his father. Vejiita growled and sat up 
and threw his son aside. Trunks laughed at the disheveled look on his 
father's face, and his laughter was soon accompanied by his mother's and 
they both left the room before Vejiita got really pissed.
	Vejiita sighed, cleared his head and quickly hopped out of bed 
to get dressed for the day. He groaned and cursed after opening his 
closet, "Damn, All my spandex is at the dry-cleaners. Guess I'll have to 
wear this human shirt and jeans..."
	Vejiita sighed and put un-Saiya-jin clothes on and started to 
clean the room. A prince should never have to live in an unkept room 
like the state his own room was in now. Vejiita was angry that he had to 
do this work and not someone else for him. Trunks swiftly came up 
behind him and put a hairnet and apron on him. Vejiita roared and tore 
off the two embarrassing clothing items. He threw them in the direction 
Trunks was running but missed as Trunks burst out of the room, 
laughing all the way.
	Vejiita grinned ever-so-slightly and muttered, "He's just like 
how his father used to be..." After he finished cleaning the room, and 
muttering about 500 cuss words, he went out to watch over Trunks. 
After tormenting Vejiita further, as he so loved to do, Trunks soon got 
rather bored, which he felt was necessary to tell his father.
	"When's GOTEN gonna get here?!" Trunks pleaded, "I'm 
Booooooooored!!!"
	Vejiita groaned. "What happened to all of your toys? I don't 
think there's ANYTHING you don't own!"
	"I've played with all of them!" Trunks insisted. "I know! let's 
play a game!" Trunks said, happily bouncing up and down.
	Vejiita frowns, "Alright, how about you shutup and sit there 
until your mother comes home? I know I'll enjoy that game!"
	Trunks rolls his eyes and moans "Come ON Papa!! Puh-
leeeeaaaase?!" Trunks pleaded. Trunks kept this up for about fifteen 
minutes straight, finally getting Vejiita to give in.
	Vejiita sighs and gives up with a yell "ALRIGHT!!... what do 
you want to play?!"
	"Ummmmmmmm..." Trunks replies, "actually, I really don't 
wanna play anymore, I'm hungry!"
	Vejiita feel as if he's about to roar, his eyes redden and he
grits 
his teeth, involuntarily turning Super Saiya-jin and scaring his little
son. 
Trunks shrinks back, frightened. Vejiita, after a few slow breaths, cools 
off a bit. "Alright, alright, alright! What do you want?"
	"Ummmmmmmmmmm.... Ice Cream!!!" Trunks suggests 
happily.
	"I don't think so. I can't let you have ice cream NOW, it's early 
in the morning, you haven't had a real meal. You don't want to get fat 
do you?"
	"It is NOT! It's 11:00!!!" Trunks insists, "You slept in!!"
	Vejiita glances over at a clock, feeling stupid, but not willing
to 
show it. "Well you can't have any ice cream anyway!!"
	"Alright then, YOU pick something to eat!" Trunks says 
boldly. Vejiita frowns angrily and opens the fridge, pulling out a few 
steaks. He plops them down in front of an eagerly awaiting Trunks.
	"Ummmmm, what is this?" Trunks asks.
	"It's breakfast, what does it look like?" Trunks' face falls, 
"Ewwww!" Trunks sticks out his tongue and makes gagging noises. 
"Papa, you're supposed to COOK it first!"
	Vejiita mumbles, "blast his picky human blood." Louder, 
"When I was your age I was a Saiya-jin PRINCE and I didn't expect 
such luxuries! I was HAPPY to eat food RIGHT after it had been 
killed!"
	He doesn't include, however, that he had done the killing, and 
quite often it had been an intelligent species being eaten, but it really 
isn't important for Trunks to know that, now is it? This is VEJIITA's 
lecture. 
	"But I'm half human!" Trunks moans, "And I like my food 
cooked!"
	Vejiita groans once more, "You sound like Kakarotto's kid! 
Stop all this whining!" Then Vejiita mumbles some incoherent swear 
words.
	Trunks groans and rolls his eyes. Suddenly there's a ringing of 
the doorbell, and Trunks shoots off towards door, knowing who it must 
be. Gohan enters, followed by Goten and he and Trunks do a happy 
dance, smiling and laughing.
	"I'll be back to pick you up at about six o'clock okay Goten? Hi 
Vejiita!" Gohan says. Vejiita frowns at Gohan, and Gohan, not 
expecting any other kind of response, smiles back and flies off. 
	"Bye, bye Niichan!!!" Goten says, waving at his brother. There 
is a second of sadness to see his Niichan go, even though he is coming 
back later, but then he remembers that he is with Trunks, and all is 
happy.
	Vejiita watches as they run off happily, and sits down in a chair 
breathing deeply. "At least they'll stop bugging me now." he thinks. 
("Thinks" being the key word here.) Vejiita had not rested too long 
when he sees Trunks walking around and poking in corners.
	"I'm going to find you!!" He calls, laughing and runs off. 
	Vejiita frowns, "Well," he thinks, "I guess hide and go seek is a 
relatively harmless game." But, of course, he's wrong as he soon finds. 
	There is a distant "Gotcha!" Which Vejiita hears, but thinks 
nothing of. Seconds later Goten comes shooting through the room, 
knocking plants and shelves down, giggling all the way. Vejiita watches 
as he disappears, and he soon turns to see Trunks shoot by at a faster 
rate, plowing a hole right through one of their couches. Vejiita reaches 
out, as if to say or do something, but is in shock. This wears off soon, 
and the shock is replaced by Vejiita's super favorite and most familiar 
emotion: anger. Vejiita jumps up and soars after them at top speed, 
ripping apart everything in his way. Trunks, gaining on Goten, decides 
to look back for a second, and sees Vejiita gaining on HIM. 
	"Goten! Papa wants to play too!!" Trunks calls forward to 
Goten, who looks back and sees Vejiita as well. Trunks catches up to 
Goten and says " C'mon, let's see if HE can catch US!!" 
	Goten laughs happily and the two split up suddenly, leaving 
Vejiita standing at a loss. Vejiita, not finding this funny at 
all......FROWNS! ooh! 
	Goten and Trunks peak around opposite corners and laugh. 
"Hahaha Papa!" "You can't catch us!" They taunt. 
	Vejiita goes for Goten, who disappears in a flash. As they 
zoom down a hall, Goten gets a little scared as Vejiita bears down on 
him. He begins to put as many obstacles as he can between them This 
doesn't stop Vejiita, however, who just plows right through them. 
	Suddenly Trunks appears and runs through Vejiita's legs.
Vejiita reaches for Trunks, his momentum catching him off balance, he 
falls flat on his face. Goten and Trunks meet in another room laughing 
loudly, they give each other a high five.
	Suddenly Trunks feels a light come on in his head and says 
"Hey Goten! I've got an idea!!" Trunks ran over and whispered in 
Goten's ear his new diabolical plan. 
	Goten's eyes widened in shock and whispered fiercely back at 
Trunks. "But that would REALLY piss Vejiita-san off! AND we'd be 
stuck like that for a whole half hour!" 
	Goten looked worried as Trunks put on a smug looking face 
and shook his head. "Daijoubu da Goten. Papa won't get THAT mad! 
Now come on!" 
	Trunks and Goten paced a bit farther apart from each other and 
stood silently. Vejiita ran into the room only to see the two boys doing a 
dance much like a crab does, some other funny positions, and then 
hearing a loud "FUUUUUUUU-SION! HAH!!" resound in his ears. 
Vejiita shielded his eyes from the bright light that emerged from the 
fusion done by the two. When the light faded, he looked up with fury 
painted on his face, and then gasped as he saw the young, purple and 
black haired boy standing in front of him, the most wickedly evil grin 
twisted on as the boy stepped forward a few paces, until he stood right 
in front of him, his little nose close to the Saiya-jin's hip. That same 
twisted grin appeared on the boy's face, as he made a lightening quick 
mad dash under Vejiita's legs and went tearing down to the hallway, 
wicked laughter following him. Vejiita roared with ferocity and charged 
after the boy, flying down the hall as to not waste time.
	He rounded the turn around into another room to see Gotenks 
turn SSJ, and yell out, "Ora! Ora! Ora! Watch this! Galactic Magic 
Legendary DOUGHNUTS!!" Ring of light flew out of Gotenks' hands, 
and they went around Vejiita and wrapped him up in the rings. Gotenks 
smiled as he shot out more and more rings, Vejiita having less and less 
time to do anything. He yelled out in frustration as the last ring
engulfed 
him, turning him into a well-shaped ball. he smiled and tossed it in the 
air a ew times. He laughed and threw it against the wall. *SMACK* the 
ball bounced off the wall, but left a large dent behind. He bounced the 
ball up and down and threw it up into the air. It hit the ceiling. BOOM! 
It came crashing down! Gotenks narrowly avoided the onslaught of the 
ball after it had fallen. Obviously, Vejiita inside the ball did NOT like 
what was going on. Gotenks dashed out of the room, leaving Vejiita still 
encased inside the ball.
	Vejiita fumed and burst from the ball! He roared again, but this 
time, he settled down as he heard it: Silence. The boys (err..boy?) were 
no where to be seen or heard. Perhaps he would NOT have to kill them. 
Vejiita's blood pressure dropped quickly and the sighed. Bulma wouldn't 
like it if he still was getting all those high blood pressure rates, AND 
eating all those fatty foods. Vejiita smiled softly and strode across the 
demolished living room to his un-ruined, comfy chair. He picked up a 
magazine and started flipping through the pages. He stopped on an ad in 
the magazine that featured two cute young girls, one with green hair, 
the other with purple, advertizing the products Dep and Pantene Pro-V 
Shampoo. He wondered if he could get his own hair so healthy and 
shiny like the two girls. He continued reading on after flipping the page. 
	After about an hour, Vejiita wondered why his son and 
Kakarotto's boy were so quiet. This wasn't like them. Not at all. Just 
WHAT were they up to? Vejiita put down the magazine and stood up. 
He walked down the hallway and up the winding staircase to the other 
hallway that led to Trunks' room. He could hear the sounds of high 
pitched giggling, and voices quickly piping back and forth to one 
another. He wondered why the boys were talking in such high voices 
though? Were they playing with the helium tank again? Vejiita slid the 
door open and looked down at the half Saiya-jin boys. His eyes widened 
to an enormous size. His face twisted in a funny yet shocked expression 
and he paled white.
	The two boys looked up at Vejiita and wondered what was 
wrong. But Vejiita had seen it, his only son and his friend, they 
were....they were.....they were playing with BARBIES!!!!!!!! Vejiita 
passed out on the spot. Trunks and Goten immediately threw down 
Barbie, Ken, and Theresa and flocked to Vejiita's side. 
	"Papa!"
	"Vejiita-san!! Daijoubu desu ka?!!"
	The boys dragged Vejiita to his room, and laid him on his bed. 
Both of them looked at each other in confusion, shrugged their 
shoulders, and went back to Trunks' room. They put the Barbies away 
though, and settled in for watching a scary movie on T.V.
	Goten's eyes widened at the horrific sights being played across 
Trunks' television. Oh sure, Trunks was enjoying this immensely, but 
Goten was scared out of his mind, but he would never tell that to his 
buddy Trunks. Trunks would laugh at him, and he didn't want that. He 
remembered watching similar movies at home with Niichan when 
Okaasan and Otousan were out. He always could depend on his Niichan 
for comfort, and would squeeze his arm until Gohan yelped out in 
serious pain. Goten couldn't help but wish Niichan was here now. He 
would be back soon, at least the next morning. Goten began to get more 
nervous with the movie, and needed something to get all his nervous 
stress out with. He did the next best thing to squeezing Niichan's arm 
when he was scared, he grabbed the closest thing to him and squeezed. 
This, unfortunately, happened to be Trunks.
	"WAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGHHHHH!!!!"
	Vejiita burst upright from his bed at the horrible, animal-like 
sound. Could it be some kind of monster attacking his son and 
Kakarotto's boy? No! That would get him in trouble with his wife and 
Chichi! Gohan probably would NOT like the fact that his little brother 
died and Vejiita hadn't prevented it. Heck, even Kakarotto might find 
the power to ultimately defeat him then.
	"Losing a son is SO important to these humans. Better go see 
if they're alright." Vejiita mused and hopped up onto the floor, rubbing 
his head from a headache he couldn't recall getting earlier. Vejiita 
reached Trunks' room where he heard sounds of things breaking and 
bumps against the wall. "this isn't too abnormal" he thought. Opening 
the door without even the thought of a knock, Vejiita saw his son and 
Goten rolling around, duking it out in his room. There was a horror 
movie on t.v., and quite a few broken objects on the ground. The two 
boys stopped wrestling for a second and looked up at Vejiita. 
	"Hi Papa!" Trunks said. 
	"I heard a scream, and I thought one of you'd done something 
stupid. What happened?" Vejiita says grumpily.
	Trunks shoots a glance at Goten, who dips his head, 
embarrassed. "We were watching a scary movie and Goten couldn't 
handle it." 
	Vejiita groaned and rolled his eyes. "I should have known it 
would have been something silly like that" he mutters under his breath, 
and leaves, slamming the door behind him. 
	"Hey Trunks! You ARE a whole YEAR older than me! And 
I'm used to having Niichan with me!" Goten insists. 
	Trunks laughs, "It's alright, it was kind of a stupid movie 
anyway." Trunks says and turns it off. "Next time, use on of these!" 
Trunks points to a stuffed animal on a shelf. 
	Goten sighs and leans to look out the window, wondering 
when Niichan will be back. He doesn't notice, unfortunately, as Trunks 
sneaks up behind him. Trunks grabs Goten's underwear and pull up 
hard. 
	"WEDGIE!!!" Trunks yells and falls on the floor laughing 
uncontrollably.
	Goten's eyes widen, and his teeth grit from the discomfort of 
the underwear pull. Goten pulls them back down, and turns to face the 
giggling Trunks. Trunks, still laughing like a maniac, tears spilling from 
his eyes, is completely at the mercy of Goten. Goten jumps on Trunks, 
starting another wrestling match. 
	Vejiita groans as his reading is disturbed by thumps and crashes 
from upstairs. He tries to ignore it, but eventually it becomes too much 
for him. He stomps up the stairs and throws Trunks's door open. He 
opens his mouth to yell, but he can't see either of the kids. He stands 
there, puzzled, when suddenly, from either side of him, Trunks and 
Goten zoom up, grabbing his underwear, they both yank with all their 
might. 
	"WEDGIE!!!!!" They yell loudly and zoom off, laughing 
hysterically. (I know this is pushing it, but it's fun! ^_^ ) 
	Vejiita's eyes pop open, and he begins to twitch. Wearing all of 
that spandex had gotten him used to tight clothes, but nothing like 
THIS. After the initial shock wears off, Vejiita pulls his underwear 
down and fumes with anger. His eyes crack and sweat begins to drip 
down his face. He starts shaking, and with a huge roar, he turns Super 
Saiyajin, projecting his energy outward and completely demolishing 
Trunks's room. Trunks and Goten pause to rest, all this laughing and 
running did not go well together. 
	But, it doesn't take long for Goten to gather his senses. 
"Trunks-kun! we shouldn't have done this! Now Vejiita-san's gonna be 
REALLY pissed! I mean, we really did it this time!" 
	Trunks is a little scared too, "but it was worth it" he thought. 
But, not wanting to back down from his "leader" position, he dismisses 
it. "Don't worry Goten! Papa will cool off, he's been learning new ways 
to keep his blood pressure down. He should be normal in say.." Trunks 
coughs as he says this "An hour or so".
	Goten's eyes widen in shock. " AN HOUR!! WE HAVE TO 
SURVIVE HIS WRATH FOR ANOTHER HOUR???!!!" Goten starts 
to feel faint and catches himself on a wall. 
	"Oh come on Goten! It'll be a piece of cake, we just have to 
watch our backs, be ready for anything. Maybe we could become 
Gotenks, then we wouldn't really have to worry." 
	Goten, still unsure, agrees with him. "I guess I've got my 
breath back now." He says. Good thing too, because not one second 
later Vejiita comes crashing through the wall, shocking both children 
and knocking them aside from the force of his entry. 
	"Goten, hide!" Trunks says with a laugh as he turns Super 
Saiya-jin and flies down one hall.
	Goten goes another direction as fast as his little.. umm what 
makes you fly? oh well, whatever makes you flies can carry him. 
Blondifying his hair as well. 
	Vejiita, half insane, just stands there, his eyes glowing, 
spouting smoke from his nose. With a roar Vejiita shoots through 
another wall, and begins to search the house for their hiding places. 
Going in and out of different rooms, without actually using a door, 
shortly their home begins to resemble swiss cheese. Goten and Trunks 
meet behind the drier in the laundry room. 
	"Are you sure we'll be safe in here?" Goten asks, nervously 
listening to the crashing sounds care of Vejiita. 
	"Sure, he NEVER comes in here." Trunks assures him.
	"Are we supposed to stay in here for an HOUR?" Goten asks, 
rather annoyed at the mess Trunks has gotten them into.
	"No, not an hour, we'll just see, maybe Papa will find us, then 
we'd have to get moving." Trunks says with a laugh. 
	"I just can't wait until Niichan gets here, he'll protect me!" 
Goten thinks. 
	Trunks pulls out his new 256 bit hand held super portable 
game system and begins to play. 
Goten looks around nervously, "How can you play a GAME at
a time like this?!"
	"I get bored easy." Is all Trunks says for a reply. 
	Goten's eyes pop open as he comes to a realization. He
whispers in Trunks' ear. "Umm.. Trunks.. I.. have to go to the 
bathroom.." 
	Trunks laughs, "Well, I think Papa's cooled down a little bit, 
but I still wouldn't show my face in front of him. Go ahead, find the 
bathroom, I'm sure you can make it without being found."
	Goten's eyes widen in shock. He is about to say that it's too 
risky, but then a pressure in his bladder tells him otherwise. "Alright,
I'll 
go, it's down the hall and to the right, right?" 
	Hai." Trunks replies.
	Goten slowly opens the door and peeks around either corner. 
He is so nervous that he is shaking. Slowly he creeps down the hallway, 
on his great trek to the bathroom. 
	Vejiita growls angrily, searching for where the two brattiest 
children in he world lay. He knocked down a wall and stared into the 
room. He then flinched slightly and muttered, "Oh boy. Bulma's not 
gonna like that." 
	Vejiita grunted and continued searching for the boys. He 
slapped his head as he realized he just should have tried to sense their
ki. 
He closed his eyes and instantly found both of them. 
	Goten's eyes were huge and wide as he rounded the corner of 
one wall and saw Vejiita standing there with his eyes closed. Vejiita 
instantly opened his eyes, sensing Goten, and leapt for him. Goten 
squealed and ducked, flying off in the opposite direction once again.
	Vejiita fell face first into the ground. With a snarl, he sprang 
back up and lunged out after Goten with murder in his eyes. Goten 
looked over his shoulder and yelped when he saw Vejiita was swiftly 
gaining on him. With a last burst of energy, Goten flew out as fast as he 
could, leaving Vejiita trailing far behind. 
	He flew back into the laundry room and behind the washing 
machine. With tears and sweat pouring down his face, he grabbed 
Trunks by the collar and shook him, screaming, "VEJIITA-SAN'S 
GONNA KILL ME!!!!! HE FOUND ME!!!!" 
	Trunks had no time to react as he saw the washing machine 
suddenly fly away as Vejiita yanked it up and tossed it to the side. The 
boys' eyes grew to humongous sizes and they both screamed and flew to 
either side, away from the berserker Vejiita. 
	Vejiita screams out in frustration once again and turns Super 
Saiya-jin. The boys meet up again in the next room. Both of them nod 
towards the window and the two fly quickly out of it as Vejiita blasts a 
new doorway into the room. The two boys scramble outside, where 
darkness is swiftly appearing with the setting sun. Vejiita makes the 
outdoors a lot brighter with his enraged Super Saiya-jin glow. Trunks 
and Goten freak out, and quickly turn Super Saiya-jin as well, not 
knowing what else they can do. Vejiita starts throwing energy blasts at 
them, in a purely infuriated state, not caring that his own son and 
Kakarotto's are the targets. 
	The boys frantically try to dodge, yelping and sweating 
profusely.
	"Trunks-kun!! What do we do?!!" Goten yells across to his 
friend who is dodging blasts left and right. Trunks shrugs slightly as he 
moves his head to the right while another one of Vejiita's beams whizzes 
by. Goten frowns as he tries to think, but no idea can form in his head, 
so the only thing he can do is, "NIIIIIICCCCCHHHAAANNNNNN!!!!
TATSUKETEEEEEEE!!!!" Goten whines out, and, for a brief moment, 
Trunks laughs at him. 
	"Daijobuu da, Goten." Trunks quickly whispers, "Papa's 
getting tired! Look at him!" 
	Goten peers over at Vejiita who is very quickly wearing out. 
Vejiita groans as he gives out one final blast, then drops to the soft
soil 
below him and passes out. The final blast Vejiita had thrown shakes the 
ground from it's tremendous power, and Goten and Trunks find 
themselves screaming as they scramble to dodge out of the way. The 
two children manage to barely evade the blast by a hair's length. As soon 
as it passes and flies far into the heavens, the boys sigh and relax.
	Trunks slightly turns his head to check on his father, who is 
still in a state of unconsciousness. He grinned and mused, "And this all 
started because of a wedgie..."
	Goten grinned widely as well, and nodded. They both flew 
down to heft up Vejiita and drag him back in the house. Trunks frowned 
as he realized the only room in the household that wasn't destroyed was 
his father and mother's. He laid Vejiita down on the front porch of the 
house, and then tried to dig something out of his pocket. He smiled 
happily as he pulled out a Capsule. 
	"What's that gonna be used for?" Goten meekly asked. 
	Trunks turned around brightly and stated, "Since our house is 
pretty much destroyed at the moment, I think that we need a new one. 
So! here we go!"
	Trunks grinned as he pulled of the top of the capsule and threw 
it to the ground. With a big POOF, an exact copy of their previous 
home stood before the two boys and an unconscious father. Trunks 
nodded in approval as he picked up his father again and dragged him 
inside of the house. They ran quickly into his room and dropped Vejiita 
onto the bed.
	"Vejiita-san's gonna be out for the rest of the night." Goten 
stated as Trunks nodded in agreement. "Saa! If Papa isn't here to boss 
us around, then the house is ours! Let's go eat ALL the ice cream in the 
freezer!!!" 
	Goten and Trunk's eyes both widened in excitement and that 
same devilish grin that most kids at their school would run away from 
screaming appeared on their faces. The two boys ran at top speed out of 
the room and to the magnet of all young children; Ice Cream.
	The next morning, at the Son House, Gohan was finishing off 
the last of his breakfast as Gokuu was taking his fifteenth serving. 
Gohan had only managed to eat twelve servings, always behind his 
father, but at the moment, food wasn't as important as it usually was.
	Gohan looked at his wristwatch and his eyes widened a bit. 
"Shimatta! I was supposed to have picked up Goten twenty minutes 
ago!" 
	Chichi looked up and slightly frowned at her son's 
irresponsibility. "Well you'd better hurry up and bring him back! He has 
homework to do, not to mention this Algebra I want him to try, and he 
has his chores to do too!"
	A sweatdrop appeared on the back of Gohan's head as Gokuu 
spoke out with his mouth still half full, "Mou, Chichi! Goten's still a 
young boy! Let him have fun and do his martial arts training when he 
wants to. Can't raise a boy solely on schoolwork!"
	Gohan sweated some more as Chichi shot back, "Of course 
you can! I don't approve of you teaching my son martial arts instead of 
him doing his schoolwork! And I can prove that you can raise a boy 
solely on schoolwork by showing you Gohan!"
	"Demo, Gohan trained in martial arts with Piccolo and me for a 
long time too! So he DIDN'T grow up by school alone!" 
	Chichi and Gokuu got into yet another fight on this subject, 
Gokuu keeping his cool and naiveness the entire time while Chichi's 
temper was flaring up by the second. Finally as Gohan thought he 
couldn't get any more late for picking up his little brother, Chichi told 
Gokuu to go with Gohan to pick up Goten. She needed time alone now. 
Gokuu shrugged and finished the last of his rice. Standing up he nodded 
at Gohan, and the two set off for Capsule Corp.

**********

	Gohan timidly knocked on the door to the large mansion which 
Vejiita and his family were presently living in. The doors burst open and 
a blur flew out at Gohan screaming, "NIIIICCCHHHHAAANNNN!!!"
and Gohan quickly felt his leg get squeezed tightly in a deathlock.
He patted his brother on his head, but wished that he could get the 
circulation flowing through his leg sometime soon. 
	Trunks came running to the door and waved goodbye to Goten 
after a long night of torturing Vejiita and eating gallons of ice cream. 
Goten released one arm from around his older brother's leg to wave 
happily at Trunks and shout a goodbye. 
	Very slowly Trunks was followed to the door by Vejiita. As he 
came into the light, Gokuu and Gohan's eyes could be seen widening 
with amazement. Vejiita had dark circles under his red, swollen eyes. 
There were numerous bruises all over his body and his spiky hair was a 
mess. Gokuu started chuckling and Gohan grinned, knowing that Vejiita 
had underestimated a night of babysitting Goten and Trunks. 
	Gokuu smiled at Vejiita and piped happily, "So Vejiita! You 
have a lot of fun last night?" 
	Vejiita's eyes became icy cold and menacing. His mouth 
contorted into an awful scowl and he slowly began reaching his hands 
out much like a zombie at the now backing away Gokuu, but it was too 
late. Vejiita grabbed Gokuu and began to throttle him. Gohan, Goten, 
and Trunks all joined into the fray to free Gokuu from the evil Vejiita's 
grasp. Goten (in a stroke of brilliance, soon whipped out the ultimate 
weapon to free his father) shoved a Barbie doll straight into Vejiita's 
face.
	Vejiita screamed and ran headlong back into the house. Trunks 
and Goten shrugged, guessing that it'd be a while before they'd see 
Vejiita again.
