Last time on Once Upon a Dragon Ball…

We left Dr. S screaming:

"That’s it! I can’t take it anymore! Tomorrow’s your last time to come and I’m taking extreme measures. There will be a * special * session tomorrow!

(scene opens at Yamcha’s house in a darkened room; lights off, shades and curtains drawn, door closed)

Yamcha: Don’t worry, she’ll never know.

(Bulma comes in through the front door)

Bulma: Yamcha, where are you?

(no answer. She goes to his room and opens the door softly)

Yamcha: Oh, hi Bulma!

(the blonde with him speaks too)

Blond: Yamcha honey, I thought you said she would be at the mall all day!

Yamcha: She usually is. (to Bulma) This is not what you think…

Bulma: It’s not what I think because I know! I thought you had changed, I guess not! I’ll be leaving now.

(she goes to her room, gathers her things and goes outside where she pops open an air bike capsule and rides away where she was never seen again.)

THE END

Just kidding. It’s not the end, only the beginning…

5 hours later at the now familiar therapy room…

(a new setup is seen. There are 17 chairs with nametags at the top and each chair is complete with a set of 16 labeled buttons on a tray attached to the chair.)

Dr. S: Welcome, please find your seat and we’ll start when everyone is here.

(everyone had. This is the seating arrangement (semi-circle): Bulma, Bra, Trunks, Pan, Videl, Gohan, Goku, Goten, ChiChi, Vegeta, Krillin, 18, Marron, Tien, Yamcha, Choutzu, and Piccolo)

Dr. S: I told you there was going to be something new going on so here it is! It’s called Electro-shock therapy. Please put the helmets on your heads and the receptors on your wrists. (they do) Let’s begin, shall we? I’ll explain, you express your anger by mild electrical attacks. For the people with saiyan blood, your electrical current has been turned up so you can actually feel it.

(Trunks, Pan, Goten, Gohan, Bra, Vegeta, and Goku look uneasy)

Vegeta: (defiant) So what? I want my woman back! I’ll do anything! I’m a desperate man…excuse me, saiyan.

Dr. S: (remembering his previous performances) Obviously.

Everyone except Vegeta: You sure are!

Dr. S: (continuing) Don’t worry. It won’t hurt… much. Each button on the tray is connected to that respective persons seat. Say one thing to a person that really upset you, then press their button for two seconds. Bulma, you can start.

Bulma: Vegeta, I’ll start with you. I’m extremely mad at your behavior. (presses button)

Goku: (laughing) We can’t tell if it worked or not because his hair already got some heavy-duty shock already!

(Goku starts to shake as Vegeta presses his button)

Bulma: Both of you stop! (she presses Goku’s and Vegeta’s)

Dr. S: People please! (everyone calms down) Thank you. Continue Mr. Briefs.

Bulma: I loved you and you betrayed me!

Vegeta: But I * do * love you!

Bulma: (presses and holds it down for about 30 seconds) SHUT UP!

Dr. S: Stop Bulma! You’re next ChiChi.

ChiChi: Goku cheated on me with Bulma (she presses both his and Bulma’s buttons) and got her pregnant. (presses them again)

Dr. S: Who else here has a problem with Mr. Son? (several people start to press his button) No, no, no! Raise your hand! (Goten, Krillin, Vegeta, Bulma, Pan, and Yamcha’s hands go up) Go ahead and talk.

Goten: You broke up our family! (buzz)

Pan: You hurt grandma ChiChi’s feelings! (buzz)

Vegeta: You stole my woman! (buzz)

Yamcha: You took Bulma from me! (buzz)

Vegeta: Wait a minute! She was mine! (buzz at Yamcha. He and Yamcha continue to shock each other silly)

Krillin: What he did was awful! (buzz)

Bulma: I having your kid! (buzz)

Goku: (crying) I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!! PLEASE STOP!

(he pushes all of their buttons at once. Yamcha and Vegeta receive it doubled. They all stop)

Dr. S: This is good! Is it helping?

Everyone: NO!

Dr. S: Oh well. Now, who has a problem with Vegeta?

(everyone raises their hands, some raise both)

Vegeta: Jeez, I feel loved.

Bulma: He cheated on me!

Tien, Choutzu, Yamcha, Gohan, & Krillin: He tried to kill me!

Trunks & Bra: He’s a terrible father!

Piccolo: He broke my heart!

18 & Marron: I just don’t like him.

Pan & Videl: Yeah, me too!

Goku: He tried to take over the world and kill me! (he holds it down for 2 minutes before the doctor gets him to stop)

ChiChi: He tried to kill my Gohan!

Goten: He doesn’t like me!

Gohan: No comment.

(each person pressed the Vegeta labeled button at the same time and holds it for several minutes)

Vegeta: (convulsing and his hair stands up taller (if possible)) I’m sorry! Please don’t kill me!

(everyone stops)

Dr. S: Oh, they’re not.

Goten: This is so stupid! (he randomly presses one)

ChiChi: (after she stopped shaking) Goten, how could you!

Goten: (guiltily) Sorry, mom.

Dr. S: Next, who has a problem with Piccolo?

(only ChiChi raises her hand)

ChiChi: He kidnapped Gohan from me, he distracted him from his studies, he (on and on and on)

Gohan: Leave Piccolo-san alone! (he buzzes ChiChi)

Goku & ChiChi: (shocked) Gohan! (both buzz)

(suddenly the insults fly back and forth and the buttons are being pressed almost all at once. Outside, the lights in the city are flickering)

(up on Dende’s Tower)

Dende: (looking at the scene below) Oh my Kami!

PoPo: But you are Kami!

Dende: Well then, oh my-self!

Back in the room…

(some people are getting a little crazy now. Pressing all of the buttons at the same time by any means necessary.)

(in a plane flying high above Japan a little girl is looking out of her window (it’s now about 8 at night))

Little girl: Look mommy! A countrywide Christmas display! (everyone presses against the windows and sure enough, all of the lights in Japan were flickering on and off)

People: Oooooh!

(they all blink out at once)

Woman: Too bad. They must didn’t use Energizer batteries. They keep going and going and going……

Back to the therapy…

(some pale lights come on)

Dr. S: We always seem to need the back-up generator when we have these sessions, hmmm.

(everyone looks amazing. Hair is sticking up everywhere)

(at King Kai’s place)

King Kai: Wow! That sure was a shocking experience! Hahahahahahahaha!

(Gregory and Bubbles look at him like he has finally lost it [authors note: I thought he had a long time ago])

Back to therapy…

Dr. S: Don’t you feel better after getting that all off your chests?

Bulma: I felt better when I was angry!

(everyone agrees)

Dr. S: Well you can go now. Bye now.

(they start to unhook themselves and there is an interruption)

Yamcha: I almost forgot! I hope this makes up for my earlier behavior. (he brings out a capsule and pops it open. A large cd player pops out. He sticks in a cd. Music start to play)

Yamcha: Please forgive me. (starts to sing)

I don’t wanna be a player no more.

I think I found someone to live my life for.

I don’t wanna be a player no more.

I think I found someone to live my life for.

I’m yours; you’re mine, for sure.

Bulma: (rolling her eyes) It’s not gonna work!

Yamcha: (continues anyway)

All I need is one who's really down.

Someone to turn this player's life around.

Girl I feel like you could be the one,

To make a difference in my life,

Cuz I'm tired of living tripe.

(Vegeta interrupts him with a little number of his own)

Vegeta: All my life, I pray for someone like you.

And I thank God that I, that I finally found you.

All my life, I pray for someone like you

And I hope that you feel the same way too.

Bulma: Not you too!

Vegeta: I promise to never fall in love

With a stranger,

You’re all I’m thinking of

I praise the lord above

For sending my your love

I cherish every hug

I really love you (hits a really high note)

Bulma: Stop!

(everyone runs outside and Vegeta follows still singing. Dogs are howling, car alarms are going off, and people in windows are throwing things. As Bulma takes out a car and gets in, you can still here Vegeta singing in the distance… [a different song this time])

Vegeta: And I will always love yoooouuuu! I will always love yoooouuuuuuu! (yet another high note this time it’s high enough that it breaks all the glass in the surrounding area)

In Bulma’s car…

Bulma: Finally I’m out or earshot! (turns on the radio)

Announcer: This evening we had a devastating power outage in all of Japan. From Hokkaido to Kagoshima power is out everywhere and will take no less that 6 hours to have it up and running again.

Bulma: Oh, my Kami!

Announcer: Our sources tell us that a large burst of electrical energy was recorded coming from eastern Satan City at the Dr. Stany-, Dr. Stanyoko-, DR. S’ Psychiatric clinic…

Will the power ever be restored? Will Bulma and Vegeta ever get back together? Are you happy the weird therapy has ended? Stay tuned to the next exciting (and strange) episode of Once Upon a Dragon Ball!
