[NOTE: In this episode, I will attempt to go deeper into Prince Vegeta and Piccolo’s relationship]

(scene opens outside of the arena where Vegeta is still looking shocked)

Goku: (relieved) That was a little too close! Oh yeah, Bulma and ChiChi, are they okay?

(he runs back inside along with Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Bra, Yamcha, Tien, Choutzu, 18, Marron, Krillin, and whoever else I left out close behind him. by this time the other spectators have dispersed)

Vegeta: (to Piccolo) Are you okay, Piccolo my love?

Piccolo: I’m fine Veggie-chan. That was some battle, eh?

Vegeta: What I can’t believe is why were they fighting over Kakarott of all people?

Piccolo: Well, he’s nice, handsome, helps people out, does hilarious things, cares a lot about his friends…

Vegeta: I get the point. Wait a minute, did you just call him handsome?!

Piccolo: Sure. He is, but not as good-looking as you.

Vegeta: (flattered) Thanks! (they hug)

[we’re going to leave this and move on inside to the arena before this gets any sappier]

Goku: Bulma! ChiChi! Are you guys okay?

Bulma: I’m over here! I don’t know about * that *, but I don’t care either!

(Goku walks over to Bulma and helps her up. They start to walk away…)

Gohan: Dad, what about Mom? Are you just going to leave her here?

Goku: She can take care of herself, but if you want, you can go find her.

(he and Bulma, who is now under Goku’s left arm, walks over to the main doors.)

ChiChi: (appearing in front of them, armed with her pan) Where do you think you’re going? (she walks over to Goku, lifts her weapon up and brings it down upon his head in a split-second)

Goku: (whining) Ow! ChiChi, stop! Please?

(by this time ChiChi is beyond his calls for help and is repeatedly banging his head with the frying pan)

ChiChi: I’m going to use this on somebody! I just realized that it’s not really Bulma’s fault, it’s yours for leaving me, you dog!

(Trunks walked over and took Bulma from Goku)

Trunks: C’mon mom. Let’s go home.

(Goku starts to run, but ChiChi jumps onto his back and is still hurting him)

Goku: (desperate) ChiChi, I’m sorry! You can stop now! Come on, please? Pretty please?

Videl: That was weird.

Gohan: You can say that again.

(Videl starts to open her mouth)

Gohan: Not literally.

Videl: Oh, okay.

(everyone else that’s left walk out to where Piccolo and Vegeta have advanced beyond the hugging stage. Videl gasps, closes her eyes.)

Goten: Why don’t you two get a room?

Vegeta: That’s a really good idea! (he and Piccolo leaves hand in hand)

(Yamcha starts to walk away)

Tien: Yamcha, where are you going?

Yamcha: After what I just saw, I’m going to sign up for a years worth of therapy. Anyone coming?

Gohan, Videl, Tien, Choutzu, Pan, Goten, Krillin, 18, and Marron: ME!

(they all walk off to the group therapists)


(scene changes to the hospital where Goku is laying in a bed, out cold)

ChiChi: I didn’t mean to knock him unconscious, just beat some since into his head!

Doctor: Ma’am, you did this to him?

ChiChi: Yes and I feel just awful about it!

Doctor: You should! I have half a mind to turn you in for spousal abuse!

(seeing ChiChi’s angry face, he decides against it)

Doctor: (hurriedly) But I’m not. (to himself) If she did this to this man, she wouldn’t just knock * me * out! After one hit, I’ll be lucky if I’m still alive!

(he gets up and leaves the room as Bulma comes in with Trunks)

Bulma: Hi ChiChi! I brought some flowers and a card. I’ve decided to forget about the fight thing. Anyway, I won.

ChiChi: You what? You only won because I didn’t have enough time to beat you after that scream attack. I ought to…

Trunks: Ladies please! Can’t we all just get along?

Bulma and ChiChi: NO!

Trunks: Well, just act like you can!

(Goku starts to groan and rub his head, ChiChi runs over and looks down at him)

Goku: (opening his eyes) What happened… NO, NOT YOU! STAY AWAY FROM ME, STAY!!! (he makes a cross with his index fingers as he jumps up and runs out of the room)

Bulma: Congratulations ChiChi! Now in addition to being afraid of needles, you added a fear of you! (rolls her eyes) Just wonderful!


Will Goku ever recover from ChiChi’s assault? What does Vegeta see in Piccolo? What’s going to happen in therapy? Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of Once Upon a Dragon Ball!!
