Pilaf laughs out loud. "HAAA HAAA! See, now you both can't stop me because all you are now are mere infants!" He turns to Vegeta, "Now who's pathetic? HA HAH HAHA haaAAA!"
Shenron frowns. "Very well, if you cannot make your next 2 wishes I will return to the dragonballs and perhaps then you will not waste my time."
Pilaf's eyes widen as Shenron began to glow. "NO! Wait!"
The dragonballs rise to the air as Sheron returned to them.
Pilaf watched in horror as the dragonballs flew to different parts of the world. Angry tears burned his eyes as he turned to the two babies that laid before him. "How dare you both do this to me! It took me months to find all those on my own!"
Goku knew something was different about him, but he just couldn't place it. He frowns, as he heard Pilaf explain to them what he'd done. Upon realizing why he felt so small Goku was upset. How will I explain this to my family and friends? I don't want to be a baby! The infant Goku's bottom lip quivers as his anger got the best of him. Goku burst into tears, wailing as loudly as he could.
Pilaf covers his ears in disgust. "Even as a baby you annoy me. I'll just leave you two here while I search for the dragonballs so I can become King!" With that Pilaf ran off, leaving Vegeta and a wailing Goku to fend for themselves.
Vegeta frowns, he was growing irritated with Goku's wailing. He wimpers as the sun began to kiss the horizon. Sunset is here... damnit. How the hell are we supposed to get home? Baby Vegeta's stomach growls. Great, I'm hungry too... that really... oh no.. He could feel tears welling in his eyes as he waved his chubby arms in the air. I will not cry! DAMNIT! Vegeta also burst into tears, filling the air with his high pitched wailing that even made Goku's crying seem like nothing more than mere wimpering. As the sun finally disappeared beneath the horizon, the cold autumn air began to set in, putting baby Goku and Vegeta in even more danger than they were already in. The only thing that could save them now was a miracle...

Chi Chi paces the livingroom, still waiting for her beloved husband to return. "Where do you think he could be? He normally wouldn't take this long unless something was wrong!"
"I'm sure they'll get home soon Chi Chi," Mrs. Briefs replies worriedly.
Bulma sighs while hugging her son Trunks to her. "I've got a bad feeling about this. Vegeta always keeps his word. He's never late for anything."
"Maybe we should go looking for them," the 13 year old Gohan replies.
Chi Chi nods, "Your right. We will go looking for them and when we find them I'll never let them hear the end of it! I didn't slave the kitchen for so long so I could allow all this good food go to waste!" Chi Chi marches outside and throws down a capsule. It explodes in a cloud if white smoke, revealing a hover car. "Come on Bulma, Gohan, lets go!"
Mrs. Briefs promises to watch Trunks and Goten while the others go off to search for Goku and Vegeta.
Chi Chi heads to the direction that Bulma said that she saw Goku and Vegeta head to. As they disappear into the distance, Mrs. Briefs prays to Dende that they would be alright.
~~~~~~~~~~
The harder Vegeta tried to keep from crying the louder he got.
Goku felt the same as Vegeta, he was hungry and frustrated about the cituation also and their wailing combined rang through the night air, being heard at a one mile radius.
Gohan's sensitive ears pic up the sound of crying and he motions for Bulma and his mother to quiet down. "Hey, I hear crying kaasan.... It sounds like... like babies."
Bulma and Chi Chi glance at each other.
"What do you mean Gohan?," Chi Chi asks while concentrating on her driving.
"Like I said Mom. I hear babies crying..."
Bulma's eyes widen. "Then we should hurry! In this cold, any normal baby would freeze to death!"
Chi Chi nods and hits the gas.
Within minutes, Bulma and Chi Chi could hear the crying as well. They land in a clearing and Gohan helps them pinpoint the location. What they find makes all three of them stop dead in their tracks.
Bulma blinks as she saw two babies laying side by side, wailing so loud that it hurt her ears. She approaches the babies to find them covered by a large pile of what appeared to be a blue battle suit and armor and a orange and blue gi. Her eyes widen when she lays eyes on the other baby whom was a spitting image of Goku. "Ch..Chi Chi...Gohan...I think this is Goku and Vegeta."
Chi Chi's eyes widen, "NANIIIII?!"
Gohan kneels before the infant Goku. "F...father... What happened?"
Goku's wailing ceased upon hearing the voice of his son Gohan. He looks at Gohan and blinks. "Gohan! Oh I am so glad to see you!"
Gohan gives baby Goku an odd look as Goku continued to babble at him.
Vegeta stopped wailing and screamed at Goku. "He can't understand you...YOU BAKA! He thinks your just babbling at him."
Goku frowns. "Well, that's not good."
Bulma, Chi Chi, and Gohan watch as both babies seemed to be babbling nonsense at each other.
Bulma and Chi Chi exchange glances. "Yup, that's Goku and Vegeta alright," they both reply.
Gohan looks at his mother and Bulma. "What are we going to do?"
"Well, first we have to get them home before they freeze to death and I bet the both of them are hungry but....oi how are we going to feed them? Bottles?
Bulma lifts the naked baby Vegeta and covers him up with the clothing he'd been wearing before being turned into an infant. "Oi Vegeta, what am I going to do with you?"
Vegeta frowns. "I don't know, just give me some food damnit! I'm starving!"
Bulma smiles as baby Vegeta babbled at her. "Don't worry, I'm going to find out who did this to you if it's the last thing I do. The bastard'll pay for doing this to my husband."
Damn straight, chibi Vegeta thought.
~~~~~Later~~~~~
Bulma tries for the millionth time to get Vegeta to drink from a bottle but everytime she brought the little nipple to his mouth he turned his face away in disgust.
No way in hell am I going to stoop as low as to drink from a bottle, Vegeta thought in outrage.
Bulma frowns. "Fine then you ignorant baka! Starve!"
She laid the infant Vegeta onto her bed and stares at him hard. "Hmmph, I wonder what your mother had to do when you behaved like this."
Vegeta just stares back at her even harder. His coal black eyes bore into her causing Bulma to become a little agitated with his glaring.
"Don't look at me that way. It was probably your fault you got turned into that anyway."
Vegeta frowns as best as he can. "MY FAULT?! Since when the hell did everything become MY FAULT?"
"And don't babble at me like that! I know your cursing at me! I can see it in your eyes and if you don't behave I'll put you to bed early like I do with Trunks!"
That shut Vegeta up real quick and his little eyes widened as Bulma leaned forward and pulled away the cloth she'd wrapped him in.
"I'm putting you into something that Trunks wore when he was a baby."
Vegeta swats at her hand as she tried putting on a diaper and the light blue baby PJ's with a little yellow duck on the left side of the chest.
After much battling with Bulma she somehow managed to get him into the diaper and PJ's. Vegeta had never looked so miserable in all his life. OH yes, Pilaf would pay as soon as he got himself back to normal. He'd kill the little bastard nice and slow.
Bulma then tries to bring the bottle of milk to Vegeta again and he turns his head away, refusing to be embarrassed any further.
Bulma sighs and sets the bottle on the beside table. "I'll be right back Vegeta... you stay here while I go call Chi Chi to see how Goku is doing."
Vegeta scowls at Bulma as she turned to leave the bedroom. He watches her leave and lays there in silence. Now, was a good time to contemplate 360 ways of killing Pilaf.
Bulma picks up the phone and dials the phone to the Son house. Gohan picks up.
"Hello?"
"Hey Gohan, this is Bulma. Is your mother available?"
"Hai, hold on."
Bulma waited a minute and then heard Chi Chi picking up the phone.
"Hello Bulma."
"How's Goku doing?"
"Well Bulma... he's been a bit upset but a warm bottle of milk put him right to sleep, so basically he's been a darling as usual. I'm getting ready to go out and shoot the person who did this to him though... How's Vegeta?"
Bulma growls. "Vegeta is being a little monster! He refuses to drink from the bottle and it was hell getting him into a diaper and even worse getting into Trunks's old baby PJ's!"
Chi Chi laughs, "Seems to me that you have your hands full over there, but you should expect that from Vegeta. He has too much pride to drink from a bottle, but I'm telling you... eventually his stomach will get the better of him and he'll drink from it. Don't you worry."
Bulma sighs. "Hai, Chi Chi. I better go...it's getting late and Vegeta has me exhausted."
Chi Chi nods. "I'll come over with the boys and we'll see if we can start searching for the dragonballs."
"Hai, see ya in the morning Chi Chi," Bulma replies.
"Oyasumi Nasai," Chi Chi answers before hanging up.
Bulma rests the phone on the receiver. It would take a few days to find the dragonballs and she wonders if she'd beable to survive that long with Vegeta's stubborn behavior.
Vegeta yawns. All that thinking was making him sleepy. His eyes droop as Bulma walks in.
"Ah, so somebody is getting sleepy I see."
Vegeta watches her through half shut up. I'm not getting sleepy...
Bulma smiles and scoops Vegeta up into her arms. "I don't know where Trunks's old crib is right now so I suppose you'll just have to sleep with me, but of course I'm sure you don't mind the least. You're my husband."
Feh, I don't need a crib you baka, Vegeta thought.
Bulma slid beneath the covers and held Vegeta against her. "Me, Chi Chi and Gohan are going to go look for the dragonballs tomarrow. It'll take a few days, but hopefully we can get you back to normal as soon as possible." She looks down to find Vegeta sleeping soundly in her arms. Bulma smiles and caresses his chubby little cheek. "Your so cute when your asleep."
She turns the light out and relaxes as sleep overtook her.
