Disclaimer: Read the first chapter’s disclaimer and figure it out yourself.

Notes: It’s in script format cause I’m feeling lazy. It’s more like a episode of MST 3K as well, with the little breaks and stuff.

Warning: Same as last chapter, no da. ^_^

************

A familiar little song plays but since I’m too lazy to write a parody of
the MST 3K song it remains the same except for the role call part.

MSTer Role Call!

Cell! (Yeah I’m perfect!)
Fibrizo! (I’m only eight and a half years old!)
Xelloss! (Purple hair is the style today! ^_^)
Majin Vegeta! (Do I smell a self-insertion?)

************

Every bodies favorite crew of MSTers were sitting in the theater arguing
about something.

Cell: No Fibrizo the toast always lands butter side down!!!!
Fibrizo: Butter side up!
MV:  ::Blinks:: Does it really matter?
Cell & Fibrizo: YES!
MV: Oh whatever.
::Suddenly bright flashing lights go off::
Xelloss: We got fanfic sign! ^_^

::The cast walk into the screening room::

> TITLE:  Dream a Little Dream ~ part 2:  Awakenings

Cell: I see this part was special enough to get a tilde. Good job part 2!

> AUTHOR:  Mia Skywalker, Wataruo

Xelloss: Again it’s ’AUTHORS’. ^_^ More then one person is plural, silly
‘AUTHORS’. ^_^

Fibrizo: The cast of Friends?

Cell:  ::Imitating a New York City bootlegger:: I’ll sell ya my Goku for
ten bucks!

> I get first dibs! Well, except for the demon, she was completely my
invention! ^_^

Fibrizo: How do you invent a demon?
MV: Take a room of network executives and a few gallons of Mountain Dew.
Fibrizo: Oh.

> NOTES:  I had posted this before as a snippet, originally with no intention of
ever finishing it. But because we were in the mood to write, but we weren't in
the mood to write for ALitD at the moment, we decided to finish this piece. I
hope you enjoy.

Xelloss: We’re forced to watch it so how are we supposed to enjoy it? ^_^
MV: You aren’t.
Cell: Stupid baka Majin!
Fibrizo: I second that notion.
Xelloss: Ditto. ^_^
MV: Oh well.

> ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:  TwoMoons for beta'ing this. Since it had previously been
just a snippet, I hadn't had it beta'd before.

> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MV: The ant army is born again! Rejoice my comrades!
Cell: That joke is so last chapter Majin.
MV: Deal with it.
Cell:  ::Grunts::

> As Bulma slept, she dreamed.

Fibrizo: Wow she dreamed in her sleep! ::Gasps:: Alert the presses!

> Memories filtered through her dreams, sparkling motes of light that drifted
lazily down, fluttering past her heart,

Xelloss:  ::Imitating a memory:: Hello heart, nice day in Bulma’s dream
isn’t it? ^_^
MV:  ::Imitating Bulma’s heart:: The blood is a flowing like always
memory!
Xelloss: That’s good! ^_^ Cheerio! ^_^

> and she remembered....

Fibrizo: ...today was the day she had to wash Vegeta’s battle armor?
Cell: ...she would die unless she got a shrubbery for the Knights of Nee?
MV: ...she left the refrigerator running and she had to go catch it?
Xelloss: ...she forgot to wear a condom the night before? ^_^

> ~~*~~

Cell: The ant empire has fallen again!
Everyone (except Cell): Yay!

> She remembered when she first saw him. It was on the videocast, he was
fighting her friends. She saw Yamcha die before her eyes, and remembered the
gut-twisting

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating a doctor:: Hold on, let my twist your gut back to
normal!

> agony of it. 'Yamcha! I was going to marry him!' she'd cried out at the
time, before bursting into heart-broken tears.

MV:  ::Imitating someone from ER:: Quick, give those tears surgery, STAT!
Don’t you die on me tears!
Xelloss: The originality is endless! ^_^
MV:  ::Back to normal:: Tears dying is nothing to joke around about
Xelloss.
Xelloss: Yes it is. ^_^
MV: Oh be quiet.

> She'd watched as he killed everyone except Krillin, Gohan and Goku,

Fibrizo: Vegeta liked them better than the others. Besides, they played
kickball a lot better!

> and then he took Goku out

Cell: GOOD! GOKU MUST DIE! (See the MSTing of To Be King or Not to Be
King)
MV: Naw Cell, Vegeta just took Goku out to the ball game to buy some
peanuts and crackerjacks.
Xelloss: And he didn’t care if they ever came back! ^_^
Fibrizo: It’s true! (See the MSTing of Meowth’s Ransom)
Cell: All of you just shut up.
Everyone (except Cell): Fine!

> so he wasn't in any condition to fight. The despair that she'd felt, seeing
only Krillin and Gohan left standing....

Xelloss: I’m pretty sure Vegeta was standing too. ^_^
MV: Not counting him Xel. ^_^
Xelloss: Oh. ^_^

> Gohan was only a child, and Krillin was...

Fibrizo: ...short!

> well, Krillin had never really impressed her with his courage.

Fibrizo: That too.

> And then Gohan had beaten him, and he'd left, much to their relief. But then
they had to go to Namek....

Cell: ...to find to wizard of Oz!
MV: Riiiiiight.

> She had seen him was on Namek.

Everyone: Nani?
Xelloss: I had seen her was in restaurant! ^_^
MV: You have seen Lina in a restaurant? Wow....big surprise.
Xelloss: Now how did you manage to decode that message? ^_^
Everyone (minus Xel): Sore wa himitsu desu! ^_^
Xelloss: I see. ^_^

> It was in a dream, he was chasing her with glowing red eyes,

Fibrizo: They were only contacts though. Not like he really had glowing
red eyes or anything.

> threatening her that if she didn't give him the dragonball that he'd kill
her. In her dream

Everyone:  ::Deadpan:: It’s called a nightmare....

> she tried to hand him the dragonball, but he'd ignored it, and killed her
anyway....

MV: Oh how thoughtful of evil nightmare Vegeta.

> She'd screamed, a scream torn from her throat

MV: Yo Xel, got a slice of scream?
Xelloss:  ::Imitates the sound of a paper been torn:: Here. ^_^
MV: Thanks.

> in pure terror and fright. It hadn't seemed a dream that time. She felt
another scream torn from her throat even now.

MV: Hey Xel I need another slice of...
Fibrizo: Repeat jokes are bad so be quiet Majin.
MV: Fiiiiiine.

> ::Am I dreaming?::

Cell: One day I had a dream that all blue haired woman couldn’t think to
themselves if they were dreaming inside a dream.
::Everyone applauds::

> she wondered. ::If I am, why can't I wake up?::

Fibrizo: Author powers and stuff.

> Another memory, another time. It was again on Namek. He,

Xelloss: It was the almighty ‘He Who Has No Name’. ^_^
MV: Ok ‘Chief Purple Hair’.
Cell: That has got to be the corniest thing you have ever come up with in
your entire life. Just listening to you talk is lowering my IQ by five
points.
MV: It’s not like I’m perfect or anything...unlike *some people* here.
Cell: Thaaaaaat’s me. ^_^
Everyone but Cell: Oi! ^^;

> Krillin, and Gohan were defending her from Zarbon. Defending her? He was
defending her?

Fibrizo: No, he was defending the kitchen sink.

> She'd thought that Zarbon was attractive, and thought that maybe she could
convince him to leave them alone. He had laughed at her,

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Zarbon:: Hey, ‘he’ wanna hear a joke? ^_^
Cell:  ::Imitating the character known simply as ‘He’:: Surely my friend
who has a name that isn’t a pronoun!
Xelloss: Ok. ^_^ What’s big, long, hard, and filled with sea men?
Cell: What?
Xelloss: A submarine! ^_^
MV:  ::Facefaults:: That wasn’t very funny. ::Snickers a little::
Xelloss:  ::Back to normal:: Then why are you snickering? ^_^
MV: Because I can!
Xelloss: Oh. ^_^

> and called her a 'silly girl'.

MV: Silly Bulma, big bad aliens like Zarbon are for Vegeta to beat up on!

> Then the memory twisted,

Cell: Now why did the memory have to go and do that old dance for?
Fibrizo: It should have done the Vogue.
Xelloss: Or the Macarena! ^_^
MV: You can’t be serious.
Xelloss: ^_^

> and changed. He'd laughed at her and called her worse,

Cell:  ::Imitating a third grader:: Chicken butt!
Fibrizo:  ::Imitating a third grader as well:: Dummy!
MV:  ::Imitating George Bush Jr.:: Al Gore!

> then turned on her to attack her, instead of attacking Zarbon.

Xelloss: This was Bulma and Vegeta’s very first date. ^_^ Isn’t it sweet?
^_^

> ::No!

Everyone: Yes!

> It didn't happen that way!:: she denied. But the memory continued, and in
it, he attacked her, mocking her, and tried to kill her....

MV: This sentence was *so* special that it needed four periods to end it!
Fibrizo: Wow that’s so observant of you Majin.
MV: I know.
Fibrizo: I was being sarcastic....
MV: Oh I know that, I just don’t care! ^_^

> She wasn't even sure why she was alive.

Xelloss: Vegeta was going to pimp Bulma for lots of money. ^_^
MV:  ::Smacks Xel over the head with a book::

> If he'd tried to kill her, she would be dead, wouldn't she?

Cell: She would be, wooooooouldn’t she?

> The memory faded, another rose,

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating Kodachi:: I am Kodachi, the Black Rose! AHOHOHOHO!
MV: Not that kind of rose you dummy! ^^;
Fibrizo:  ::Returns to normal:: Oh I see.
MV: Heeeeey were you in my anime collection Fibrizo?
Fibrizo: I plead the fifth!
MV: Damnable right to remain silent!

> this one when they first returned to Earth. He was brought back to Earth with
them when Kami had made the wish to bring them back. She'd been angry about
that,

Cell:  ::Imitating Bulma:: Grrrrr...I am *so* mad gosh darn it!

> they had fought... and he'd come to live with her family for a while.

Xelloss: So they adopted Vegeta as a sexual pet? I see, kinky. ^_^
MV:  ::Hits Xelloss over the head with his own staff::

> Eventually she'd grown to understand him and they'd developed an uneasy truce,

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: You can have Park Place but I want
Pennsylvania Avenue *and* St. Charles Place.

> which had grown into something more....

Cell: Quoth the fruitcake.
Xelloss: No more whore! ^_^
MV: Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaani? ::Facefaults:: GAH! Xelloss NO BAKA!!!!
::Pulls out Filia’s mace and bashes Xel over the head yet again::

> The memory changed,

Cell: Into a brand new car!

> and suddenly he was threatening her, forcing her to let him live with her.

Xelloss: Awww it’s a Kodak moment. ^_^

> ::No.

Everyone: Yes!

> That's not how it happened:: Memories of him threatening her, abusing
her....

Fibrizo: All of those memories were lazy bums who didn’t go out and get
jobs.
MV: That makes so much sense.
Fibrizo: CAN IT!
MV: Okay. ::Pulls out a can and waves it around::
Cell: Would you quit with the stupid corny crap?
MV: Fiiiiiiiine.

> ::No!

Everyone: Yes!

> That didn't happen!:: Memories of trying to flee futilely from the pain he
inflicted, and failing.... ::NO!

Everyone: YES!
Xelloss: You know....all this moaning ‘yes’ makes it sound like someone
is having a really good time. ^_^
MV: You know Xel....SHUT UP!!!!! ::Smacks Xel with a telephone::

> That did NOT happen!::

Fibrizo: Yeah it did! It’s like that time Vegeta missed his favorite soap
opera!
Cell: Or like that time Vegeta played chess with Sadam Hussein!
Xelloss: Or like that time Vegeta married somebody on ‘Who Wants to Marry
a Millionaire?’ ^_^ And then killed them afterwards. ^_^
MV: None of those happened! She’s talking about the time when Vegeta
released his first country album! It was really a disaster....for the
entire world. ^_^
Everyone but MV: Ooooooh.

> The memory of their first time together

MV: Don’t even say a word Xel.
Xelloss: A word. ^_^
MV: ....
Xelloss: ^_^

> came to her,

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating a UPS guy:: Hey, you have a memory in this package.
Just sign here for it.
Cell:  ::Imitating Bulma signing a clipboard:: Oh yay my first memory!
Happy day!

> but instead of remembering how beautiful and intense and wonderful it had
been,

MV: She remembered how sad and miserable it was to watch the final
episode of Seinfield *ever*.

> her memory showed that he had been brutal, and contemptuous, and callous.

Xelloss: Oh look, Vegeta is acting like a politician. ^_^
MV: Well that was a low blow, true, but low! I like it. ^_^
Xelloss: I figured you would. ^_^
Fibrizo: Idiots. ::Grunts::

> Instead of tenderness and gentleness, knowing it was her first time, he'd
been cruel, mocking her that no one had ever wanted her. ::Was that... was
that how it happened?::

Cell: Probably.

> she wondered in confusion. ::Did he do that?::

Xelloss: No silly, it was Goku who did *that.* ^_^
MV: Just shut up already! ::Throws a few free AOL CDs at Xel::

> She could no longer remember.

Cell: Because she forgot.

> Her memories were confusing her; she was beginning to doubt them. What had
been the reality, what the illusion?

Fibrizo: Can we take our break yet?
MV: At the end of this paragraph!
Fibrizo: Why not *now?*
MV: Because I said so! ^_^
Fibrizo:  ::Grunts:: *Fine.*

> Too many memories were twisting up

Xelloss: It’s hard to untwist memories when they’re all twisted up you
know. ^_^ It’s sort of like a Slinky. ^_^
Cell: Except they don’t roll down stairs.
Xelloss: True. ^_^

> around each other, conflicting, distorting, and changing.

Fibrizo: Who would have thought the memories were alcoholic?
Everyone but Fibrizo:  ::Raises hand::
Fibrizo: Why can’t anybody understand a rhetorical question? Why? (See
the MSTing of Meowth’s Ransom)
MV: Because we like bothering you!
Fibrizo:  ::Gives Majin a death-glare::

> She no longer knew what was real.

MV: C’mon let’s go!
::The four MSTers leave the screening room for now::

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xelloss:  ::Reading a book:: You know, I just discovered something
Majin-san! ^_^
MV: What?
Xelloss: We’re trapped in outer space right now. ^_^
MV: You just figured that out? -_-;
::Fibrizo runs in with a tennis outfit on::
MV: What the?
Fibrizo: What? Didn’t you know I played tennis in my free time? Hey, I
can’t always go about bringing the chaotic end of the world now can I?
MV: Yeah....okay.
Xelloss:  ::Reads the book some more:: Did you know that the next pope’s
name will be John? ^_^
MV: No kidding.
Fibrizo: You might want to check out that book he has.
MV: Good idea. ::Looks at Xel’s book and facefaults:: Only you would get
a book titled “1001 Ways to Annoy Your Friends with Obvious Knowledge.”
Xelloss: Of course! ^_^
Cell:  ::Suddenly Cell walks in with a big chef’s hat:: I just cooked my
best meal!
MV: Naaaaani?
::The bright flashing lights go on again::
Cell: No time, we got fanfic sign again!
::The four MSTers walk back into the screening room, without the
costumes they just had on of course::

~~~~~~~~~~~~

> came a small, nagging voice.

>

Cell: I remember this one time where I defeated Son Gohan and all the Z
Senshi and then destroyed the Earth.
Fibrizo: I remember the time I brought the world to a chaotic end.
Xelloss: I remember the time I didn’t have to MST anything anymore. ^_^
MV: Too bad guys, that theory is not true! Nyah nyah. : P
::Everyone except for Majin groaned for a bit::

> ::No::

Everyone: Yes!

> she whimpered to herself.

Cell: What’s that Bulma, Auntie Videl’s barn is on fire?
MV: Bad Lassey joke Cell.
Cell: Did anybody ask you?
MV: No.
Cell: Then be quiet.
MV: Roger that!

>::He never hurt me. He would never hurt me.::

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Bulma:: Except during our sex games, of course. ^_^
MV:  ::smacks Xel over the head with Tasuki’s tessan::

>

Cell:  ::Imitating Bulma:: Oh that’s nothing much! Forgive and forget!
^_^
Fibrizo: ....
Xelloss: ....
MV: .......

> ::No, it's different now! He's changed!::

Fibrizo: That’s right Vegeta did change. He changed into his Oozaru form
for ever and ever and ever.

> He still kills, sees nothing wrong with killing.>

Fibrizo: The only thing wrong with killing is there ain’t enough people
*to* kill.
Cell: You go boy!
MV:  ::Sweatdrops several times:: Okay it was bad enough that Fibrizo
made his comment, but quoting something from Martin Lawrence was
really.....bad Cell.
Cell: Don’t make me break your face!
MV: Like, what the hell does that mean?
Cell: Shut up.
MV: Riiiiiight.

> ::But he *is* changing!:: she thought in a tiny, despairing voice.

Xelloss: As opposed to a small, nagging voice. ^_^

> Her resistance was growing weaker; she could feel herself becoming convinced
by the other voice in her mind.

MV: Ah-ha! I finally discovered another person who hears voices in their
head!
Fibrizo: That is such a surprise.
Cell: Not like we ever expected you to say that one Majin.
Xelloss: Yeah, it was very predictable indeed. ^_^
MV: Oh would you all just be quiet?

>

Cell:  ::Imitating Bulma:: Because *I* said so!
MV: Are you feeling sick today Cell?
Cell: No, why?
MV: No reason.

> ::He's changing because he cares about me. ...doesn't he?::

Fibrizo: What the? What *is* that?
MV: A fragment that started off without a capital letter and begun with
three periods in front of it.
Fibrizo: Which would be?
MV: A....capital-three-perioded-fragment error!
Xelloss: ...is it? ^_^
Fibrizo: ...it is.
MV: Oh both of you be quiet.

> A nobody, a nothing, a less than nothing.>

Xelloss: I see, so Bulma is a negative five? ^_^

> A tiny denial echoed

Fibrizo: Echo echo echo echo.

> itself against the walls of her mind,

Xelloss:  ::Imitating a fashion coordinator:: That wallpaper *has* to be
changed. ^_^ ::Snaps fingers::

> as she started to sink back into blackness again, this time forever.

Cell: Owari. ::Gets up::
MV: Ummm no. ::Pulls Cell back into seat:: Nope!
Cell: A biological android has to try, doesn’t he?
MV: Ummm no.
Cell: Quiet you.
MV:  ::Puts a hand on Cell’s forehead:: Yep, he’s running a fever
alright. I knew it!
Cell: SHUT THE HELL UP YOU BAKA MAJIN! ::Smashes Majin over the head::
MV: Nevermind. @_@

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating Satan:: Eat the apple from the tree Bulma, it won’t
hurt anything.

Xelloss: Commonly known as a nightmare. ^_^

> The touch of a new voice in her mind, a deeper, more masculine one,

Cell:  ::Imitating Bulma:: Mom is that you?

> brought her back, only to sink her into despair again a moment later.
::Dream? It's not a dream.

Everyone: It’s a nightmare.

> You told me that it's real. That if I remember it so, that it must be so.::
Loneliness and despair threaded

Fibrizo: What a nice loneliness and despair quilt Bulma made!
MV: I wish I had my very own!
Fibrizo: Go on the Home Shopping Network then.
MV: Oh yeah! ^_^

> her thoughts as she started to sink deeper again.

> //No, it is not real// the voice insisted. //It is something that demon did.
Remember? It hit us

Cell:  ::Imitating a team of psychologists with heavy German accents::

wake up.//

MV:  ::Imitating Bulma’s mom:: It’s time for breakfast dear. ^_^
Xelloss: Can you stop taking my smily face Majin? ^_^
MV: Sure! I’ll just take this one instead! ~_^
Xelloss: Good. ^_^

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating a...err a guy:: My name is Bob, I am a special
education student at Winston High. How do you do?
MV: Riiiiiight.

> Why do you torment me?::

Cell:  ::Imitating Barney:: Because we love you!
MV: Never ever ever ever *ever* say that line in my presence again.
::Shivers::
Cell:  ::Back to normal:: Why not?
MV: BECAUSE I SAID SO!
Cell: Ok then fine.

remember what you asked me to do for you?//

Fibrizo: Save the world before bedtime?
Cell: Create a sequel to “Mario Teaches Typing?”
MV: Go buy a bottle of Mike’s Hard Lemonade and complain about how hard
it is?
Xelloss: Have several hours of long, hot, sweaty, sex? ^_^
MV: Xelloss no baka! ::Pounds Xel over the head with a frying pan::

> ::Do for me?:: Her thoughts were filled with confusion. She remembered many
things,

Everyone: So do we!

> all of them mixed together, all of them confused.

MV: I think those many things need help after class.

> But the main part she remembered, what she wanted of Vegeta....

Xelloss: ...long, hot, sweaty sex of course. ^_^
MV:  ::smacks Xel over the head with a ladle::

> ::I asked you to stay. You didn't stay. You didn't stay!::

Cell:  ::Imitating Bulma:: Don’t make me repeat myself another time!

> She gave a mental wail, remembering those nightmares, of Vegeta leaving her,
of Vegeta rejecting her. All of the rejections she'd experienced had hurt, but
his rejection had hurt most of all. ::Why?:: she wondered. ::Is it because I
loved him, and he never loved me back? Is it because he broke my heart?::
Despair started to fill her again.

Fibrizo: Dude Bulma is like a water balloon, except she’s filled with
lots of despair instead.
MV: Yep.

>::LEAVE ME ALONE!::

Everyone: Okay!

> she commanded the voice, filled with anguish and despair. ::You aren't
Vegeta. Vegeta hates me. Vegeta left me, all alone....::

> //You're wrong, Bulma. I have never left you.//

Cell: Ha, that’s not Vegeta! Vegeta would never call Bulma by her real
name! What do you think I am, stupid?
MV: Uhhh yeah.
Cell:  ::smacks Majin::
MV: @_@

leave me.

shuddered, sobs starting to wrack her body. ::You laughed when I died, you and
the others. You said you only stayed because I could fix the gravity room.
You called me a... ::

MV: A what?
Xelloss: I think you know Majin. ^_^
Cell: Yeah, me too.
Fibrizo: Ditto.
MV: Yeah yeah yeah I do I do, he called her a not nice person right?
Everyone except MV: Uhhh yeeeeeah that’s it. -_-;
MV: Thought so! ^_^ And guys, I’m not serious. ^_^
Fibrizo: I hate you.
Cell: So do I.
Xelloss: ^_^
MV: Too bad.

> Her thoughts broke off.

Cell: Aw man! The new, shiny thoughts are broken!

> ::You said you were just using me!::

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: Of course I was, I needed to score with
someone! I definitely didn’t want to pay a hooker for sex! ^_^
MV:  ::smacks Xel with a mallet:: I don’t think this will ever get old!

> she wailed.

> //It never happened// Vegeta explained. //I know it's hard to believe, but
Bulma,

Cell:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: You have blue hair. The blue hair to win the
fight!

> I wouldn't

Fibrizo: Wouldn’t? Past tense? So he would do it now?
MV: Yeah!

> let you die. Not without a fight. Think, Bulma... Why do you think I stay?

Fibrizo: Because you get your supply of hair gel from the Capsule Corp?
Cell: Because of the gravity room and the food?
MV: Because of the rubber factory next door?
Xelloss: Because you’re poor? ^_^

> Do you want to know why I stay?

Cell:  ::Imitating Bulma:: Give me time to think!!!!

> Do you want me to tell you the truth?//

MV:  ::Imitating one of those Truth commercials:: Tobacco causes lung
cancer.
Fibrizo:  ::Sarcastically:: Thank you Majin.
MV: Big tobacco is big and tobacco-like, it causes lung cancer!
Cell: Nobody really gives a damn.
MV:  ::Back to normal:: Obviously!

> ::Truth? But you didn't stay.:: Her memories were clouded,

Fibrizo: Clouded with strife. ::The sound of a drum and a cymbal being
hit are heard::
MV: Okay Fibrizo, you been in my video game collection too haven’t you?
Fibrizo: Yeah.

> they were confusing her. What was truth, what was reality? She remembered
so many different things,

Xelloss: Is that particularly unusual? ^_^

> none of them made sense together.

MV: Kind of like us guys!
Everyone but MV: Yay!

> ::If you stayed...

Cell:  ::Imitating Bulma:: ...you wouldn’t be gone.

> why would you have stayed? I don't understand.::

> //I stayed because I

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: Needed someone to make hot, sweaty, monkey
love to! ^_^
MV:  ::smacks Xel with a plastic bucket:: Now who didn’t see that one
coming?
Cell and Fibrizo:  ::Raises hands:: NOT!

> married you// came the quiet thought. //I was going to tell you but I was
afraid...//

Cell:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: ..of the dark.

> ::Married?:: Bulma was confused. She touched her memories,

Xelloss: Outside *and* inside of them. ^_^
MV: Yeah that sounds like one of your sexual innuendoes so....::smacks
Xel with a tea kettle filled with hot water:: take that!

> turning each one over like leaves on a field,

Fibrizo: Hey! We can’t make a joke out of that if you don’t let us! Bad
authors!
Cell:  ::Imitating a nagging mother:: Now you go to your room and think
about what you did!

> but couldn't find any of a wedding, not even amongst all the conflicting
memories that she had, true or false. ::No, you didn't:: she said accusingly,
subconsciously finally accepting the voice as Vegeta's. There was a note of
peevishness

Xelloss: Is that even a word?
MV: MY KAMI! Xelloss didn’t end the sentence with a smily face!
Xelloss: Oops, I knew I forgot something! ^_^
MV: Nevermind.

> to her thoughts. ::You never married me. You're lying! Stupid lying
Saiyan....::

MV:  ::Imitating Bulma:: ...get down with your bad self!

> //According to Saiyan law we are married. Do you remember that day I took you
to see that waterfall?

Everyone: Ooooo, waterfall.
Xelloss:  ::Singing:: In the jungle, the mighty jungle, Bulma and Vegeta
screw each other tonight.
MV:  ::smacks Xel with a steel toed shoe::

> We bathed in it together,

Xelloss: Funny, that sounds exactly like the plot of a pornography movie.
^_^
MV: Errr...yeah it does actually.
Xelloss: How would you know Majin-san? ^_^
MV:  ::Face flushes:: Nevermind that!

> we hunted together, we shared a meal, we slept out in the open that night. Do
you remember?//

> ::Married?:: She was dumbfounded.

Cell:  ::Imitating Bulma:: Daaaaaah, 1+1=5.

> ::That's stupid, Vegeta:: she scoffed, completely rational.

Fibrizo: When your day can’t get any worse, try some of Bulma’s
Completely Rational. You can find it in the alcohol isle!

> ::Then a lot of humans would be married that never intended to be.

MV:  ::Facefaults:: No, they aren’t Saiyajin. It’s *Saiyajin* law! Not
*human* law! Geez!

> So where's the ceremony? Where's the priest making you take vows?

Xelloss:  ::Waves hands in the air::
MV: Trickster *priests* don’t count Xel-sama!
Xelloss: Too bad. ^_^

> Where are your family, your friends, the witnesses? What makes it a
marriage?:: He could hear her thoughts growing stronger,

Fibrizo: Stronger than Vegeta himself!

> and sounding slightly irritated.

> //Saiyan weddings are private// he replied. //The hunt makes it a marriage.
You remember the hunt?//

Cell:  ::Imitating a redneck:: How can I forget about that there hunt? It
was my meal for the next then there year! Darn tootin’!

> Vegeta insisted. //Vows mean nothing, words mean nothing,

Xelloss: In that case we don’t have to MST this since words mean nothing.
^_^ Bye bye now! ::Is about to teleport out when Majin grabs him::
MV: Nope, you ain’t leaving til it’s done my friend!
Xelloss: Oh fine. ^_^

> what we expressed that night for each other needed no words. I know you felt
it.

Xelloss: You felt it ALL NIGHT LONG! ^_^
MV:  ::smacks Xelloss with Starr’s report from Clinton’s impeachment
trial::

> You feel it still. Just like I do.// Vegeta pressed a kiss against her temple.

Cell:  ::Imitating a priest:: Let us worship the almighty Bulma! Ahola!
Fibrizo: That temple joke, that was bad.
Cell: Praise the lord!
MV:  ::Facefaults::

> //You don't need me to tell you how much I love you.

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating a rabid Vegeta fan:: But I need you to tell her how
much you love her Veggie-sama!!!! ::Loud girlish scream::
MV:  ::Covers ears:: MY KAMI MAN, SHUT UP!
Fibrizo:  ::Back to normal:: Okay, even I admit that one was pretty bad.
Cell: Agreed.
MV: Let us continue.

> You just know.//

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: You know that I’m really bisexual, don’t
you Bulma? ^_^

> As his words sank

MV:  ::Imitating a person playing Battleship:: Uhhh B-3.
Cell:  ::Imitating the voice from the talking Battleship game:: You sunk
my words.
MV: Yay I win!

> into her mind, warmth spread outward from her heart.

Fibrizo: The heater must have been on.

> Her eyes slowly opened, blearily focusing on Vegeta's face hovering so close
to hers, an anxious expression on it that she'd never seen before. ::You do?::
she asked in surprise, still speaking telepathically, her thoughts colored with
a vague, gentle curiosity. ::You love me?:: Then her brows furrowed, and she
was suddenly angry.

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Bulma:: Grrrrrrrr, I hate it when people love me!
^_^

> ::No, I *didn't* know! You idiot!

MV:  ::Imitating Ren from Ren and Stimpy:: Stimpy, you
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiidiot!

> Why didn't you ever say anything? Did you expect me to just miraculously
*know*,

Cell:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: Errr yeah, you are like a genius and stuff.

> when you've never given me any indication? Do you have any idea what I just
went through?

Fibrizo: *Yes!* For the love of Kami don’t tell him, I don’t want to have
to watch the entire thing over again.

> If I had known, I could have fought it. I didn't know!:: She started to
cry. ::Because you were too proud to say those words, I almost died. I almost
died!

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Bulma:: I repeated myself. I repeated myself! ^_^

> Because you were too proud....:: Great, wrenching sobs wracked through her
body as she wept against his chest. ::Why couldn't you just say something to
me, even once?::

MV:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: Okay okay fine. Something to me, even once.
Happy?

> Vegeta sighed in relief when Bulma awoke and he held her close as she cried.
//I was afraid, Bulma. I couldn't accept it if you rejected me. So I kept our
relationship the way it was. But our relationship is going to change. It has
to.// His arms tightened around her.

> ::Afraid? You've never been afraid. Of anything. You're not even afraid of
death.

Cell: Psct, no one is afraid of Death! He’s such a wimp!
Fibrizo:  ::Imitating Death:: Wahhhhhh! You meanies! I’m going home!

> Why would you be afraid?:: She clung more tightly to him. ::I could never
have rejected you. How could I?::

Xelloss: You could get one of those red stamps that say reject on them
and then stamp Vegeta on the head with it. ^_^
MV: Let me guess, you were watching MTV Xel?
Xelloss: Yes. ^_^
MV:  ::Grunts:: You can’t watch my MTV! *I* want *my* MTV!
Cell: Oh shut up with your song jokes you big moron!
MV: Fiiiiiiiine. ::Mutters:: I’m on the outside here, and I’m looking in.
I can see right through you Cell, see your true colors. Inside you’re
ugly, ugly like me.
Cell:  ::Glares death at Majin:: STOP IT ALREADY! ::smacks Majin several
times::
MV: Ok ok. @_@

> //You would be surprised at what frightens me//

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: I’m afraid of everything.

> came the quiet reply. //It seems that I have quite a few fears that the
demon's spell showed me. But I fear losing you the most.// Vegeta was silent
for a moment before he continued. //I need you more than anything. Please stay
with me Bulma. I couldn't handle it if you left.//

Xelloss: Guess what time it is? ^_^
Cell: Time to take over the world?
Fibrizo: Itsy bitsy time?
MV: Mail time?
Xelloss: No! It’s time for a break! ^_^
Everyone but Xel: Oh!
::The MSTers leave the screening room yet again::

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cell:  ::Is juggling several red balls around. He also has white clown
make-up on his face:: Look at me, I’m the greatest juggler in the world,
see?
::Xelloss walks in the room::
Xelloss: What in the world are you doing Cell-san? ^_^
Cell: I’m trying out for the circus of space, so don’t hit me with a
mace! ::Continues juggling faster::
Xelloss: Only Filia would hit you with a mace Cell-san. ^_^
Cell: Yeah yeah okay okay now will you just go away? ::Starts riding a
unicycle and juggles even faster::
Xelloss: I think Cell finally cracked. ^_^
::Majin and Fibrizo come in eating ice cream::
MV: Wow! I never knew you liked Brimstone flavored ice cream Fibby-chan!
Fibrizo: Yep! I’m the Hellmaster for a reason you know. And Majin?
::Glares at Majin:: MY NAME IS Fibrizo!
MV: Okay okay. ::Looks up at Cell and laughs:: What the heck are you
doing Cell?
::Suddenly some bright lights go off::
Xelloss: He has no time to explain his clown plan Majin-san, we got
fanfic sign! ^_^
::The four MSTers enter the screening room once again, without costumes
and such on::

~~~~~~~~~~~~

> ::Left?

Fibrizo: No, right!

> How could I have ever left you? I couldn't have left you, Vegeta. Even if it
meant my death.:: She laughed briefly,

Cell: A pun isn’t intended there. Thank you.
MV: Stupid stupid stupid joke!
Cell: Just like you Majin.
MV: SHUT THE HELL UP Cell THE CLOWN!
Cell: .....

> a mirthless sound. She was simply too weary, too raw

Xelloss: ...and undercooked. ^_^

> with emotional pain, to be anything other than absolutely truthful. ::It
would break my heart to leave you. Haven't you figured that out yet? Look.::
She opened her mind to him,

MV:  ::Imitating Bulma:: Here is my brain, and right next to that are the
newly decorated walls of my mind!

> showing him what she'd experienced in the moments - and years - that she'd
been caught in her nightmares. If she had been less exhausted, she might have
held back, not shown him everything, but in the state she was in, her emotional
wounds open and exposed, she was unable to hide anything that her pride might
otherwise have preferred to remain hidden. ::If you ever left me, Vegeta - if
you ever rejected me -

Cell:  ::Imitating Bulma:: I will hunt you down and kill you!

> it would break my heart.:: She curled up tighter, and her thoughts came at
him, frightened and tentative. ::I know I'm not good enough for you but...
please stay with me!::

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating a desperate student:: I know my project really
sucked and all but...give me an ‘A’ anyway!!!!
Xelloss:  ::Imitating a teacher:: Ummm, no. ^_^
Fibrizo: Waaaaaaah!

> Vegeta's arms tightened

MV:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: Damn these vice grip like arms of mine!

> around her and he pressed

Cell:  ::Imitating Deedee from Dexter’s Lab:: I wanna press the button!
MV:  ::Imitating Dexter from said show:: NOOOOO!
Cell: Pretty button! ::Makes the sound of a button being pressed::
MV: NOOOOO! ::Makes the sound of an explosion::
Xelloss: You guys have the strangest jokes you know. ^_^
MV and Cell:  ::Back to normal:: Nobody asked you.
Xelloss: ^_^

> his face into her hair. //I will never leave you// he stated fiercely.

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating that guy from Crocodile Hunter:: Look mates, we
have found the fiercest animal in the world! It’s bloody Vegeta’s fierce
statement! Oi! Stay low mates!

> //I will protect you with my life. I swear to you.//

Cell:  ::Imitating Bulma:: Kami, stop cursing *so* much Vegeta!
MV: Not that kind of swear!
Cell:  ::Back to normal:: Remember, trying to make this funny.
MV: Yeah yeah yeah but I think it was *stupid.*
Cell: Oh yeah? ::Punches Majin:: NOBODY CARES!
MV: @_@

> She pulled back from him to give him a kiss, and then noticed the change in
him for the first time.

Xelloss: Now how in the world can you miss something that obvious? ^_^
MV: You have your eyes closed...
Xelloss: ^_^

> Her eyes widened in shock.

Fibrizo: Pzzt!
Cell: That is *so* my line!
Fibrizo: Well now it isn’t.
Xelloss: How shocking. ^_^
Cell: Pzzt!
MV: Riiiiight.

> "Vegeta? What did you do to your hair?

Cell:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: I dyed it.

> And your *eyes*?!?"

Cell:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: I have colored contacts in.
MV: Or maybe he’s incognito!
Fibrizo: Yeah Majin, he’s incognito without a mask on. Baka!
MV: Be quiet.

> Vegeta blinked. "What are you talking about?"

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Bill Clinton:: I did *not* have sex with that
woman! ^_^
MV: What about usage of cigars?
Fibrizo: That’s one low blow. ^_^
Xelloss:  ::Back to normal:: I like it. ^_^

> he asked speaking aloud for the first time since she woke.

> "Well, your hair is blond. And your eyes are green. How did you DO that?"

Cell:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: Well I colored my hair and my eyes these
colors. Aren’t they so pretty?
MV: That makes noooo sense!
Cell:  ::Back to normal:: PUT A SOCK IN IT!
MV:  ::Pulls a sock out of hammerspace and looks around for ‘it’:: Okay,
where’s this ‘it’ character?
Cell: SHUT UP!

> "Blond?" Vegeta found himself wondering if the demon's spell had affected
Bulma's vision. He put his hand against her forehead wondering if she was sick.

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: I think you might have herpes from last
night woman. ^_^
MV:  Will you ever learn Xel? ::smacks Xel over the head with
flyswatter::
Xelloss: Yeah. ^_^
Fibrizo:  ::Rolls eyes:: He’s a masochist remember? Pain=good for him,
baka!
MV:  ::Growls Sideshow Bob style:: Grrrrr.

> "You don't feel warm. Are you all right woman?"

> Bulma gave him an irritated look. "I'm

Cell:  ::Imitating Bulma:: ....irritated, weren’t you paying any
attention to my look?

> perfectly fine, radish head."

MV: Naw, he has blond hair. So he’s more like a cornflower head now.
Everyone but MV: Nani?
MV: Nevermind.

> She reached up and took a long strand of his hair,

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating Bulma:: Mwahahahahahaha, I have the valuable Vegeta
hair I always wanted! Finally, it is miiiiine!

> pulling it down to where he could see it. "Maybe you should take a look in
the mirror. There's one in the hallway. Do you want to see?"

Cell:  ::Imitating the answering machine of a big company:: If you want
to see, press ‘1’ now. If you can’t currently see and you want to see,
press ‘2’ now. If you want me to destroy you, press ‘3’ now.

> Vegeta was startled to discover that Bulma was right. The strand of his hair
that was curled around her finger was indeed blond. Vegeta stood, pulling Bulma
up with him. "Maybe I will have a look after all." He strolled in the hallway,
after releasing Bulma

Xelloss: Mistake number one. ^_^

> and stopped to glance in the mirror. He frowned at his reflection for several
long minutes

MV: Just as long as those minutes Goku and Freezer were on Namek I
suppose. Stupid FUNimation and their stupid dubbing!

Note: They weren’t really minutes I don’t think. ^_^

> before he realized what it was he was seeing. Then he started laughing.

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: My hair is blond and my eyes are green!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, that’s hysterical!

> Bulma stared at him for several minutes, dumbfounded

Cell:  ::Imitating Bulma:: Daaaaaah 2+2=6.
Fibrizo: Recycled jokes aren’t cool.
Cell:  ::Back to normal:: Fine, but neither are your anime and video game
jokes.
Fibrizo: Take that back!
Cell:  ::Smirks:: No.
MV: Calm down children!
Fibrizo & Cell: Shut up!
MV: Errr heh.

> by his behaviour.

Xelloss: What’s a behaviour? ^_^
MV: The spelling of ‘behavior’ in Great Britain, I believe.
Fibrizo: Well *your* shock jokes ain’t funny either!
Cell: Neither are *your* echo jokes!
MV: I’m glad we all get along here.
Xelloss: Me too. ^_^

> "You've gone mad!" she spat at him. "Your hair mysteriously changes color,
and you're *laughing*?!?

Fibrizo: Okay okay truce truce. Now, ::Turns back to screen and smirks::
*ahem.* ::Imitating Vegeta:: Of course I’m laughing, can’t you see the
humor in hair mysteriously changing color?

> For all you know, it might be some horrible disease that's going to kill you
or something,

Cell: The horrible disease that changes your hair color and kills you! Oh
no!
MV: Don’t forge the horrible disease that turns you into an employee of
FUNimation.
Xelloss: Or the horrible disease called ‘The Horrible Disease’ ^_^

> and all you can do is *laugh*?" She continued to glare at him. "Or if you
know what's going on, please, enlighten me!"

> "No, woman, this is no disease." He continued to chuckle while she glared at
him. "I have done it. I am a Super Saiyan."

Fibrizo: So get yourself a costume with a big ‘SS’ on the front of it!
MV: Hasn’t that been done?
Fibrizo: Yeah, with the one ‘S’ though. DC comics can’t sue if there are
two of them there!
MV: Yeah okay, but it should be ‘SSJ’. ^_^

> Bulma blinked at that revelation. "You are?" She studied

Cell: ...for the huge exam she had tomorrow.

> him curiously for a moment,

Xelloss: I think that Bulma is studying for her Vegeta test. ^_^
MV: Nani?
Xelloss: Sore wa himitsu desu! ^_^
MV: Oi!

> her anger having evaporated instantly. "I've never seen Goku actually go
Super Saiyan, I was just told that he'd done it. How do you know that's what
happened?"

Everyone: How often does your hair turn blond? How often do your eyes
turn green?

> Vegeta snorted. "This is exactly what I saw and felt when I saw Kakarotto do
it."

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: Except then I had a little tingle in my
pants, now I don’t. ^_^
MV:  ::Hits Xel over the head with some type of large, metal object::

> He grinned at her rather smugly. The warrior was actually beginning to feel
like himself again. "Now we will see who is the strongest, won't we?"

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: *NOW* I shall break that damnable *twig!*

> Bulma swallowed,

Xelloss: It’s nice to know she doesn’t spit, she swallows. ^_^
MV:  ::Hits Xel over the with.....Cell’s tall::
Cell: HEY!
MV: Well....I needed something original to smack Xel with.
Cell: And you picked my tall?
MV: Errr yeah heh.
Cell: DIE! ::smacks Majin around a bit::
MV: @_@

> a lump forming suddenly in her throat.

Fibrizo: Uh-oh she has throat cancer!

> He'd just finished telling her that he loved her, that he needed her, and
yet... it was obvious he really didn't understand what that meant. ::If he
loves me, he wouldn't want to hurt me, but if he kills Goku, he knows that will
hurt me. I've told him before how that would hurt me, and he always scoffed.::
Goku was her oldest friend, the only one she ever felt she could rely on, and
Vegeta would take that away from her for some sort of 'contest',

Cell: Yes, Goku had challenged Vegeta to the longest pie eating contest
in the entire universe.

> for the glory of being the 'strongest'.

Cell: Sorry, that glory is taken by me!
MV: Who didn’t see that one coming?
Fibrizo: I did.
Xelloss: Ditto. ^_^
Cell: Oh be quiet.

> She knew she could never truly understand that. She turned away from him,
not wanting him to see her pain. "Do what you will, Radish head. You always
do."

> Vegeta looked over his shoulder at Bulma's remark. ::Now where did that come
from?::

MV: The land of milk and honey.
Fibrizo: San Diego.
Cell: The lost city of Atlantis.
Xelloss: Hmmm well I think a cavity search is required to find what
Vegeta is looking for. ^_^
Everyone but Xel: Nani?
Xelloss: ^_^

> he wondered, frowning at her when her expression betrayed what she was
feeling.

MV: That’s called treason.

> But

Xelloss: Isn’t it grammatically incorrect to start a sentence with
‘but?’. ^_^
MV: Your asking me?
Xelloss: No, just asking for asking sake. ^_^
MV: Riiiiiight.

> what is was

Fibrizo: What is was? That makes no sense.

> that was bothering her he didn't know. "What is it?" he asked, a little more
hesitantly than he intended, and frowned when he realized that his emotions
were not completely under control. //Must've

Xelloss: Is that even a word? ^_^
MV: It must’ve been one!
Cell: Baka!

> been that spell the demon cast.// At the thought he glanced quickly around
the room. "Bulma!" he snapped.

Cell: He snapped just like a Venus fly trap.

> "Come here. There is no telling where that demon went."

MV:  The demon went ::Hums a song:: over the river and through the woods,
to grandmother’s house it went! ::Shoes and such get thrown at Majin::
HEY!
Cell & Fibrizo: We told you not to sing.
MV:  ::Growls Sideshow Bob style again:: Grrrrr.

> "What are you talking about?"

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating Gary Coleman:: Whatchu talkin’ bout Wilus?

> Bulma snapped irritably. "That demon is long gone, I'm sure! Why would it
have stayed around?" Her brow furrowed in confusion. "How long were we
unconscious?" She looked over at a clock,

MV:  ::Imitating Bulma:: Hmmmm, I think it’s time for us to get a new
clock.

> realizing that Vegeta didn't know how to read Chikyuu time, but what she saw
made no sense.

Fibrizo: Just like a Mexican soap opera.

> She was certain that they'd been out cold

Xelloss: Brrr! ^_^

> for longer than just a few minutes. Maybe days had passed, and they didn't
know it. She strode over to her electronic calendar and pressed the button.

Everyone: Dum dum dum!

> When it happily chirped out the date to her, she blinked in surprise.

Cell:  ::Imitating Bulma:: AHHHHH! My computer is talking! KILL IT!

> They'd been out for less time than she'd realized. She turned and faced the
Saiyan Prince,

Cell:  ::Grunts:: The Saiyajin formerly known as Prince damn it!

> her hands on her hips. "Well?" She looked at him in annoyance. "Then why
don't you find it or something, if it's still around? Or would you rather it
snuck up on us again?"

> "Don't boss me woman!" he snapped, his eyes flashing.

Xelloss: That isn’t healthy. ^_^

> "What do you think I was going to do?

Fibrizo: Take over the US Postal Service?
Cell: Create a tank made completely out of Legos?
Xelloss: Watch two monkeys have a knife fight? ^_^
MV: Wonder if Freezer has a brother named Refrigerator?

> Stay here." He turned on his heel

MV:  ::Fakes a gasp:: That traitor! How can he turn on his own heel?

> and expected his command to be obeyed as he stepped out into the hallway. He
reached out with his senses to see
if he could detect the demon. //Soon to be deceased// he thought to
himself with some satisfaction.

> "Oooh!

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Bulma:: These fireworks are pretty! ^_^

> That obnoxious Saiyan!" Bulma fumed, wanting to slap him for ordering her
around that way. "What does he think I am? His servant or something?

Everyone: Yes.

> I'll teach him!" With that, she completely ignored all caution, including
the tiny voice in her head warning her that she was being foolishly reckless,
and strode in fury outside towards her lab. "I'm going to get some work done,
and I don't care *what* he thinks of me!"

> Bulma slammed open the door to her laboratory, her wrath ruffled by how she
felt used by Vegeta. She stormed

Fibrizo:  ::Singing:: It’s raining Bulma...
MV:  ::Facefaults:: Don’t sing, that’s my job! BAD Fibrizo!
Fibrizo:  ::Smirks:: Do I care? Nope.
MV: Oi vei! -_-;

> over to her workbench, her eyes snapping with the anger that she felt for
Vegeta's cavalier treatment of her. Suddenly alarm bells went off in her head,

Cell:  ::Imitating Bulma:: Oh no! The tea has been done for thirty
minutes now!

> as she realized that the door hadn't been locked, a state it should never
have been in. The lights also hadn't kicked in automatically as they should
have, but the room was still dark. "What...?"

> "Well, well!" came a softly rasping voice. A beautiful woman slowly moved
from the shadows, the light catching her face and upper torso. Bulma might
have assumed that she was simply a beautiful woman, until more of her came into
view, and Bulma saw the large, thick, serpentine tail that wrapped under her
and seemed to be serving her for legs. And that by itself was bad enough, but
as she flowed further into the light, Bulma saw that the end of the tail parted
into octopus tentacles, which waved gently in the air around her, as though
stirred by an unfelt breeze.

Xelloss: What a nice image. ^_^
Fibrizo: Now *that’s* a Mazoku. The best part is she doesn’t even chain
smoke like Zelas does. Finally, I can find a date!
MV: Uhhhhhh......riiiiiiiiiiiight.
Cell: You guys realized we didn’t do anything for that entire paragraph.
MV: Yeah, how unusually unusual!

> Bulma froze

Fibrizo: Damn it, we got to thaw her out again!

> in horror, unable to move. "Who... are you?" she whimpered

Cell: And now the dog motif has transferred over to Bulma.
MV: Yep, Vegeta stuck it on to Bulma when she was least expecting it.

> in sudden fear.

> The woman smiled, her overly wide mouth filled with sharp teeth that were
unnervingly

Xelloss: That isn’t a word either. ^_^

> too long for her face.

Fibrizo: I have to get this demon’s number, hot diggity!
MV: Hot what? ::Facefaults::
Fibrizo: Nevermind. ::Grunts::

> "Oh, my name isn't important," she purred.

Cell: Meeeeeeeow.

> "What is important is that you're such a *luscious* morsel!"

Xelloss:  ::Imitating the demon:: I can just eat you *all* up.
MV: That sounds like something innuendo-like so ::smacks Xel over the
head with Ryoga’s big umbrella::

> Bulma's breath came out in tiny pants,

Cell: Tiny pants that only a midget could fit into.

> and she suddenly discovered that she didn't have the strength to even cry
out. Terror filled her limbs, freezing her
in place, her heart-rate increasing wildly as the creature in front of
her reached out with one hand, running a cold finger down Bulma's face.
::VEGETA!::

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating Bulma:: YOU’RE NAMED AFTER A VEGETABLE!

> Bulma called out mentally, hoping that somehow he could hear her thoughts.
::HELP ME!::

> Vegeta was still trying to pinpoint the demon's location when he heard
Bulma's mental cry for help.

MV:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: Ah-ha, I have found her!

> Without questioning what he was doing, he headed instinctively for the lab.
There was something incredibly powerful in there with his lifemate,

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: Oh no, the woman left the tea kettle on
the stove! ^_^

> and from the panicked sound of her mental voice, he did not have to be a
genius to figure out what it was that was frightening Bulma.

Cell: It’s time for us to leave. Let’s go!
MV: Roger!
::The MSTers leave the screening room for the last time::

~~~~~~~~~~~~

::Fibrizo has a picture of the unnamed demon and is looking at it
intently. Soon Xelloss pops in::
Xelloss: Hi Fibrizo, what are you doing? ^_^
Fibrizo: Errr ::Hides the picture:: Nothing at all Xelloss.
Xelloss: Oh I see, amateur. ^_^ ::Pulls out a magazine from hammerspace::
I think you’ll like *these* pictures more. Here. ::Hands Fibrizo said
magazine::
Fibrizo:  ::Eyes widen:: Everyone is naked in here Xel!
Xelloss: I know. ^_^
::Majin and Cell walk in wearing military uniforms::
MV: I will never surrender Cell!
Cell: Me neither!
MV: I shall invade you!
Cell: So should I!
::Cell and Majin continue for a while and then stop::
MV: Hey guys! ::Waves to Xel and Fibrizo:: What’s up? ::Looks at the
magazine Fibrizo has and facefaults:: Fibrizo? ::Snickers:: *You?* I
never knew it! ::Rolls on the ground laughing::
Fibrizo: Never knew what? ::Facefaults::
MV: Nevermind.
::The bright flashing lights go off::
Cell: Fanfic sign!
::The four MSTers reenter the screening room::

~~~~~~~~~~~~

> He pulled open the door,

Cell: He knew to do this because the door said ‘Pull’ on it. Otherwise,
he would have been very confused.

> eyes widening slightly when he saw the demon woman. "So there you are,"

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: So *there* you are. I was wondering where
you were after our little ‘experience’. ^_^
MV:  ::Sighs:: I’m just not gonna bother anymore.

> he said conversationally as he positioned himself in between Bulma and the
demoness.

Xelloss: That isn’t a word either. ^_^

> "I have been waiting for you to show yourself."

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating a photographer:: Now pose my darling, POSE!!!!
MV: You would like that.....wouldn’t you?
Fibrizo:  ::Back to normal with hearts in his eyes:: *Yeah.*
MV: I’m really scared now.

> He settled into a battle stance, powering up into Super Saiyan as he did so.
"Nice of you to drop by."

Cell:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: Would you like to die slowly or quickly
today? If you choose to die slowly I’ll throw in my complementary
torture option for free!

> The demon's eyes narrowed as Vegeta spoiled her game.

MV:  ::Imitating the demon:: Damn it! Why can’t I ever play Operation in
peace?

> She had been enjoying tormenting her prey,

Xelloss: By making them watch cheesy movies all the time. ^_^
MV: Hmmmm sounds familiar.

Note: Okay so that wasn’t the most original thing I ever came up with, so
sue me!

> and his presence interrupted it. "You!" she hissed in irritation, her eyes
narrowing. "I thought you were dead!" Her voice was laced

Cell: With heroin.

> with contempt. "How did you manage to get out of that? I suppose your mind
must have been stronger than I'd thought!"

Cell:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: Well if you don’t let me answer you I can’t!
MV:  ::Blinks:: Oh look, Fibby-chan is still quiet.
Fibrizo:  ::Growls:: DON’T CALL ME THAT!

> "And you are dumber than I thought." He smirked, some deep part of him
satisfied that he had in one way beaten the demon. "It takes much more than a
mind game to kill a Saiyan.

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: It takes *two* mind games. ^_^

> And I am the strongest. Prepare to meet your doom, fish face!

Everyone: Nani?
MV:  ::Screams:: FUNIMATION HAS BEEN HERE!

> For I am Prince Vegeta, Heir to the House of

Fibrizo: Aquarius.
MV: Ain’t that the Age of Aquarius?
Fibrizo: I don’t know, I’m not *that* old.
MV: Yeah sure and the sky ain’t blue.
Fibrizo:  ::Grunts::

> Vegeta-sei, and I do not take kindly to those that threaten my mate."

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: I is gonna bust a cap mofo! ^_^
Cell: Where the hell did you hear that from?
Xelloss:  ::Back to normal...well sorta:: From da streets dawg! ^_^
MV: You need to be sent to a psychologist...no a psychiatrist Xelloss.
Xelloss: ^_^

> "Hmph!" she snorted scornfully, not at all impressed. "You think you're so
tough, mortal?

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: I’m tougher than the average mortal!
MV: Not as smart as the average bear though...

> I wonder." She waved a hand, and a blinding pain went through Vegeta's
head. When he blinked his eyes open, he saw Bulma standing in front of him
instead of behind him.

Cell: If the pain was blinding, how could he still see?

> She was smiling at him in an odd manner, and she pointed behind him. "She's
right there,"

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Bulma:: Have fun with this prostitute Vegeta, I
paid her for your birthday. ^_^
MV: You know when I said I’m not gonna bother anymore?
Xelloss:  ::Back to normal:: Yeah. ^_^
MV: I lied! ::smacks Xel over the head with hammer::

> Bulma purred at him, an odd sound in her voice. "Why don't you kill her?"

> Vegeta looked behind him and saw the demoness frozen behind him, trembling
with fear.

Fibrizo:  ::Laughs evilly:: That’s the oldest trick in the book.
MV: Then why didn’t *you* use it?
Fibrizo: .....

> It looked at him in terror, shivering helplessly, and he knew he could blast
it easily before it could react.
>
> He looked at the demoness, eyes narrowing. //How in the hell did it get back
there?//

Cell: With the help of a thousand puppeteers.

> he wondered. //Wasn't Bulma behind me?// He raised a hand and prepared to
blast the pitiful shaking creature out of existence. But something was nagging
his subconscious,

Xelloss: Besides the painfully obvious. ^_^

> something that he should know, and it made him hesitate. "Well now, I have
no idea how you did that, but be prepared, for I am going to send you to hell."

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: Or the next dimension, if you prefer.
Cell:  ::Screams:: NOT THE NEXT DIMENSION! NOOOOO! (See the MSTing of
Meowth’s Ransom)

> //At least it is smart enough to be afraid.// But something about that
thought sent off a warning bell.

MV: Ding dong.

>Though he was pleased that the demoness was frightened, it had seemed so cocky
earlier. //Now what is this?
An act?//

Everyone: Moron!

> Bulma's eyes widened as she saw Vegeta building a ki blast, preparing to
blast her out of existence. "Vegeta?" she whimpered in sudden fear, her heart
shattering

Cell: What a fragile, fragile glass heart Bulma has.

> with the realization that he was going to kill her. "What are you...? Do
you hate me that much?" She hated the way her voice clogged with her tears,

MV: Oh geez! Call a plumber to unclog that voice Bulma!

> but she didn't know how to make her pride stay intact when she was about to
die at the hands of the man she loved. She closed her eyes, feeling that she'd
rather die than continue to live, knowing he hated her enough to kill her.

> The demoness smiled from her position behind Vegeta.

Xelloss: She liked the view. ^_^
MV: Who didn’t see *that* coming?
::Crickets chirp::
Xelloss: The crickets didn’t, apparently. ^_^
MV: .....

> With his own hand he would destroy the woman that he sought to protect, and
in his grief he would be destroyed. He might even kill himself, if his shame
and grief was enough. But whether he killed himself, or his soul was simply
shattered, the demoness didn't care. Either way, the emotions released would
be delicious, and she would feast on them in delight.

Fibrizo:  ::Smirks:: That’s somebody after my own heart.
Everyone but Fibrizo:  ::Groans:: We know....we know.

> Something was definitely not right. Vegeta could not figure out what it was
that was bothering him.

Cell: He forgot to take his Flintstone’s vitamins this morning!

> He lowered his hand, eyes narrowing, eyebrows pulling together

MV:  ::Imitating the eyebrows:: Come on guys, pull together!

> in a frown. What was the beast taking about?

Xelloss: You’re asking us? ^_^

> "What?" he asked the creature as it trembled before him. "Are you playing
helpless after what you did to me and Bulma?" he asked it, trying to figure out
what was nagging at him. //What is it? Is it stalling? Did it cast another
spell on me?//

Cell: Yes, a spell that makes you a complete idiot.

> "What?" Bulma stared at him in confusion. "What I did to you? Vegeta, I'm
not... Vegeta,

Fibrizo: Well that goes without question. Of course she isn’t Vegeta.

> I'm not the demon! The demon is still behind you! Why are you going to
attack me?"

Xelloss: How do you know she’s a demon? ^_^
MV: Cause she looks like a demon she does!
Xelloss: That’s not good enough. ^_^
MV: Well she turned me into a newt she did.
Xelloss: You don’t look like a newt. ^_^
MV: I got better!

Note: Hehe Monty Python is funny. ^_^

> Vegeta glanced back at the woman behind him that appeared to be Bulma. The
demon put as innocent of an expression on her face as she could manage.
"Vegeta!" she said, picking up on what Bulma was calling him. "Can't you see
that it's trying to fool you? Kill it!

Cell: Kill the bug!

> Kill it before it has a chance to kill me!"

> He frowned again, now he was certain something was going on. //It did cast
some sort of spell on me// he thought, looking between the two of them, the
demoness and Bulma. //But which is the demon?// He folded his arms across his
chest and sighed. "You are right. I should kill the demon before it can do you
harm." Vegeta spoke slowly, watching the demon's expression. "Bulma you should
leave.." He looked over behind him, noting his mate's expression. //Which one?
How do I choose?//

Fibrizo: You can always draw straws.
Xelloss: Roll some dice. ^_^
Cell: Tell them both to pick a number between ‘1’ and ‘10’ and kill the
one who gets the number closest to it.
MV: You could just kill them both...

> The demon's eyes narrowed. He seemed to be resisting her spell somewhat.
Not entirely - he still couldn't tell which one of them was his lover - but
enough that he didn't obey her commands instantly. "I'll leave, Vegeta, but
first you
> have to kill the demon for me. I want you to kill it for me!" the false
Bulma insisted.

Cell: If Vegeta was smarter he would realize that Bulma would never say
something like that.
MV:  ::Blinks:: What are you, a Bulma fan?
Cell: No, I’m just saying.
MV: Well you’re probably right I guess. But considering your a dead
bio-android who was resurrected by your’s truly, I doubt it.
Cell:  ::Growls:: I’LL KILL YOU DEAD!
MV: Riiiiight.

> Bulma closed her eyes, and lowered her head.

Fibrizo: Look, she’s doing a Xelloss impression!
Xelloss: ^_^

> ::She's done something to him.

MV:  ::Imitating Bulma:: She laced his food! DAMN IT!

> I don't know what. Oh, Vegeta!::

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Bulma:: You make me so *hot* when you’re about to
kill me! COME HERE YA HUNKA HUNKA BURIN’ LOVE! ^_^
MV: That has got to be the *most messed up* thing you ever did Xel.
::smacks Xelloss over the head with a lamp::

> Suddenly her head shot

Fibrizo: BANG!

> up, and she glared at her Saiyan Prince

Fibrizo: Oh so now Vegeta is *Bulma’s* Saiyajin Prince. We’re back to the
story about Bulma and all *her* possessions again.

> in determination. "Vegeta, I won't let her hurt you. You have to come back
to me, Vegeta! I love you!

Everyone: Awwww, isn’t that cute?

> I won't let her hurt you, even if it kills me!"

> Vegeta, his expression blank,

MV: My kami, Vegeta is a schizophrenic!

> looked at the demoness in front of him, and glanced behind him at Bulma. She
was looking frustrated that he wasn't doing what she commanded. //When did
Bulma become so bloodthirsty?//

Cell: When she became a vampire.

> A smirk slowly spread its way across his face as he looked back at the demon
and addressed it.

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: TO: Demon, FROM: The Prince of all Saiyajins
who will kill you now, SUBJECT: YOU SUCK! ^_^
MV: Not that kinda address!
Xelloss:  ::Back to normal:: Oh I know. ^_^

> "Thank you for letting me know which was you, demon." He raised his hand,

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: I know the answer I know the answer! Call
on me teacher!

> still smirking, a ball of blue light appearing in his hand. But as he
released it, he spun on his heel and fired the blast at Bulma behind him. "My
Bulma," he smiled in satisfaction as the blast hit her in the center of the
chest, "is not nearly
> as bloodthirsty nor as ugly as you."

Everyone but Fibrizo: Yay!
Fibrizo: Nooooooooo! ::Blinks:: Oh well, I’ll just have to go back to
plotting to bring the world to a chaotic end. And I was so damn close
too!
MV: What *are* you talking about?
Fibrizo:  ::Smirks:: Sore wa himitsu desu! ^_^
Xelloss: That’s my line! ^_^
Fibrizo: Oh well! ^_^
MV: GAH! STOP IT!

> "NOOOOO!"

Everyone: YEEEEES!

> the demon wailed, as the energy blast struck her square in the chest. Sparks
flew over her body, and he could see a strange fading around the edges of her.
Then with a great cry of despair, she suddenly exploded into tiny black
particles, which dispersed into the air and vanished.

> The real Bulma had stared at him in frozen

Fibrizo: Brrr!

> shock,

Fibrizo: Pzzt!

> as he'd smirked evilly at her, preparing the ki blast to fire on her. When
he abruptly turned and fired it at
> the demoness behind him, she sagged against the wall behind her in the surge
of relief that washed through her, the energy draining from her limbs as the
shock

Fibrizo: Pzzt!
MV: Would you knock it off already?
Fibrizo: Fiiiine.

> and terror wore off. She'd been so afraid... not only for herself, although
she was certain that Vegeta was going to kill her - but for Vegeta, because she
was equally certain that the creature would kill Vegeta the second that Bulma
was dead. Tears slipped

Cell: Caution, wet floor.

> from her eyes as she slid against the wall to the floor, her head dropping to
her knees in exhaustion.

> Vegeta smirked, powering down as the demoness vanished before him. "Never
underestimate a Saiyan, demon," he said to its disappearing form. "For us,
nothing is impossible."

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: Unless you’re counting breaking twigs,
opening pickle jars, riding unicycles, getting haircuts, or lifting
feathers. ^_^

> He turned then, sure that the creature was gone, to see Bulma slumped against
the wall, head on her knees. The Saiyan Prince went to her quickly,

Fibrizo: But not quickly enough!

> sinking down on his knees in front of her, and gathered her in his arms.

MV: He was foraging for Bulma!

> His fingers stroked her hair as he held her and whispered to her soothingly.

Cell:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: I should have become a therapist, I have the
great soothing voice for it.

>"It's alright. It's gone."

> "You were going to kill me," she murmured in confusion, allowing his fingers
in her hair and his arms around her to soothe and calm her. "You hated me so
much, you were going to kill me." Tears gathered in her eyes, even as she
rested her cheek against his chest, allowing him to comfort her. It occurred
to her that she should find it strange that the man who'd been about to kill
her moments before was now reassuring her, but she was too tired to question it.

> "It cast another spell," he whispered, his tone subdued. "It made me think
that it was you. But it didn't for long. It gave too much away."

MV: The villains *always* do.

> "Vegeta, I... Vegeta,

Xelloss:  ::Imitating Vegeta:: No silly, you Bulma, me Vegeta. ^_^

> would you have killed me?" Bulma didn't know why she asked that question,
why she was tormenting herself that way. She suspected that if he'd killed her
and she hadn't turned out to be the demon, that he'd just have turned around
and killed the demon, and not really cared. Tears leaked

Cell: They really had to go to the bathroom!
MV: Very funny.
Cell: I know, get it? Got to the bathroom, leak. Funny right?
MV: ....Nope.

> from her eyes, and she began to tremble again. After everything she'd been
through, everything they'd been through, she still wasn't entirely sure of him.
It was difficult for her to remember what had been the dream and what had been
reality, and confusion reigned in her thoughts.

> "No I would never hurt you." Vegeta tried to pull her closer to him, tried to
reassure her fears. "It was rather easy to tell which one was you."

Everyone: No kidding.

> He chuckled, the sound rumbling beneath her ear. "You would never want
another's death. You would've asked me to stop her, not commanded me to kill
her. It was a fatal mistake for the demon."

> That hadn't really been Bulma's question. She hadn't been afraid that he
couldn't tell them apart, she'd just been afraid that he wouldn't have *cared*
if he couldn't tell them apart. "But if you hadn't been able to tell us apart,"
she insisted, "would you have killed me? If you couldn't tell which one
was me, and which one was her, would you have killed one of us anyway?
Or both of us?" Bulma relaxed slightly, his hands working their usual
magic on her,

Xelloss:  ::Plays cheesy music:: Feel up your woman! ^_^ Way to go
Vegeta! ^_^
MV:  ::smacks Xel with a table::

> and easing away her tension. She was still upset about everything that had
happened, but her body was finally realizing that the danger was past.

> "No. I wouldn't have killed either of you then," he stated flatly. "I would
not harm you."

> "But you..." She swallowed, sounding slightly afraid. "You were... you were
ready to...."

> "No, never."

Cell: That’s called a double negative. Let’s see a better example, shall
we?
MV:  ::Imitating a redneck:: I hardly never gone done that!
Cell: This is called the Redneckian dialect of English and it’s very bad.
If someone is speaking it around you, kill them immediately.

> He cupped her face between his hands and forced her to look into his eyes "I
swear I would never hurt you. I will protect you always."

> Somehow Bulma found herself believing him, as she looked up into his obsidian

Fibrizo: Why did Vegeta have to go and steal that obsidian from the
museum?

> gaze. The normally cold and aloof depths of them were suddenly burning with
something intense, something she had seen in his eyes only a few times before.

Xelloss: Looks like a sex scene is coming up. ^_^
MV:  ::smacks Xel:: Naw, this ain’t a lemon.
Xelloss: Oh. ^_^

> She lifted a hand and touched him gently on the cheek, before she wrapped
both arms around him and pulled him more tightly against her. Exhaustion then
found its way through her, threading through her limbs and making her feel limp.

> Vegeta rose

Fibrizo:  ::Imitating Kodachi:: I’m *still* Kodachi, the Black Rose!
AHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!
MV: And it’s *still* not that kind of rose dummy!
Fibrizo:  ::Back to normal:: Be quiet.

> to his feet, cradling Bulma against him, and he almost smiled as he looked
down at her. "Time for bed woman, it has been a long day." As he made his way
into the house and up the stairs, a mischievious glint could be seen in his
gaze.

Xelloss: See? Told ya so! ^_^
MV: Well it’s not gonna happen in *this* fic my friend. Nyah! : P

> ”Perhaps," he said, as he opened their bedroom door, "I should spend more of
my time making you believe that I care for you. It will be a enjoyable
experience for the both of us."

> Bulma smiled drowsily in his arms, looking forward to his proof, knowing she
was going to enjoy it more than anything. She sighed as she snuggled against
him, and as the door closed behind them, she knew that Vegeta would never stay
away from her for long.

> ~~~OWARI~~~

Cell:  ::Cheers:: IT’S OVER! PRAISE KAMI-SAMA!
Fibrizo: THANK YOU!
MV: Errr....I guess we can go now.
::The screening room doors open and the four MSTers walk out of the
screening room::
Xelloss: We’re still stuck aboard this satellite though. ^_^
MV: Well....::Smirks:: I rearranged all the wires and stuff and I finally
have control! *Now* I have control and I can see who it was who sent us
these fics in the first place!
Cell: Whoopy.
MV:  ::Attaches the ends of two wires together and suddenly a nearby
television screen flickers on. It has the image of Freezer on it::
AHHHH! NOT YOU AGAIN!
Freezer: Mwahahahahaha! It was I who sent you these fics!
MV: Well errr I have control again and my author powers are *finally*
back. Sooooo, buh bye! ::Snaps fingers and Freezer disappears in a cloud
of smoke and dies::
Xelloss: Can we leave now Majin? ^_^
MV: Sure. ::Snaps fingers and Cell, Fibrizo, and Xelloss all disappear
from the satellite:: Now that I have complete and absolute control here,
I think I’ll send more fics to some more characters! Oh how fiendish!
::Rubs hands together:: Mwahahahahahaha!
